Sadly, in the 19th century, people took photos of their dead babies to try to remember and memorialize them.

I was talking to my grandmother about this the other day and she reminded me of my great grandmother’s story about her parents doing the same. Seems that it was once quite common especially in the days when most children were born in the home.

My great grandmothers sister died when she was 3 years old and her parents brought her all the way home from Ann Arbor to northern Michigan.

I've seen pictures of dead relatives, in coffins, early 20th. century.
