These are photographs of old postcards and other historical documents that provide a glimpse into the locations where Sweetie and her family resided and visited.

Sidney's Postcard from Ocean City to Jeanne (Front)

This is the postcard that Sidney Graham sent to Sweetie's sister, Jeanne, on September 7, 1949 from Ocean City

Post Office - Hutchinson, Kansas

This is a photograph of an image from an old postcard (approx. 1930's) of the United States Post Office in Hutchinson, Kansas.

Sweetie would have frequented the post office in Hutchinson, Kansas to send her many letters to family in both Iowa and Pennsylvania, as well as to her brothers who were fighting at the front during World War II.

Sweetie lived in Hutchinson, Kansas from July 1944 to March 1945.

Main St. Looking North - Hutchinson, Kansas

This is a photograph of the image from an old postcard (from approx. 1908) of Main Street in Hutchinson, Kansas, looking north from Avenue A.

Note the trolley car on the tracks in the center of the street and the wagon being pulled nearby, as well as the carriage parked in front of a hotel.

While Sweetie lived in Hutchinson a few decades later, the street itself probably changed very little. The biggest change would be that the street was probably much more crowded with automobiles!

Main St. Looking South - Hutchinson, Kansas

This is a photograph of the image from an old postcard (from approx. 1920) of Main Street in Hutchinson, Kansas, looking south.

Note the tracks for the trolley car in the center of the street and the automobiles from the 1920's as well as the long stretch of storefronts in brick buildings.

While Sweetie lived in Hutchinson a couple of decades later, the street itself probably changed very little. That being said, there were probably far more automobiles on the street!
