This is a follow-up to my post earlier this week, when I posted a picture of Harvey Hulett (the great great grandson of David Hulett; 1882-1948) and family from roughly 1940.
This week, after my post, Mark Stanton forwarded me the front and back of an envelope addressed to Addie Hulett in St. Augustine, Florida postmarked 1880. Mark has this envelope in his collection.
This is a very rare and unique piece of memorabilia because I would surmise that this was to Prudence “Addie” Hulett, the daughter of Harvey Hulett (born 1822; the brother of Philander Hulett), and the niece of Philander. Philander Hulett is reputed to have built the steamship landing.
The Huletts are a bit confusing because Philander’s father (born 1794) and brother (born 1822) were both named Harvey and there are a few other Harvey Hulett’s in the line.
The only thing I know about Addie Hulett was that she was born on November 15, 1860 (which would have made her about 20 when she got the postcard).
She married Langdon BARTHOLOMEW who was born in Castleton, Rutland Co., VT. Other than that I know nothing about her. A date of death, children, etc.
She must have been in St. Augustine visiting her uncle, Philander Hulett, who retired there, when she received the postcard.
What a find! I also note the sender’s name: Mr. Lewis DelNoce, spelled just like the cottage, which still stands today.
Many thanks to Mark Stanton for forwarding this fantastic find along.
