Día de Muertos at the 'Borrowed Time' Club

Post by Roaring20s »

The 'Borrowed Time' Club was started in 1902 in Chicago by self-styled historian Philander Walker Barclay. To be a member of this club you just needed to be 70 years of age. In this 1912 photo, members had a unique way to remember those members who had passed on.

I'll briefly revive this dead thread. :oops:

Today, my wife's employer gifted me this Día de Muertos tile.
It's likely we'll be remembered in this way, someday.
