This photobooth image and the newspaper clipping below were found together on eBay. According to the unsourced article, “Albert Meadows, 28, of 78 Lagrave-av., S.E., was fatally injured near Mancelona when the car on whose bumper he was standing was struck by another automobile. Meadows died in Petoskey hospital.”

That’s so sad. And probably his parents kept the photo and cutting til they died, too, and then there was nobody left in the family to pass them on to.
