(KING) The Zettler family has lived in their home in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood for almost 20 years, but the 100-year-old house has a past of its own. It’s something they learned during a partial remodel.

When the contractor removed one of the walls from the home, Laurie Zettler said they found a Mother’s Day treasure, a note dating May 11, 1939, stuck inside the walls.

The note reads, “Mother’s Day is on Sunday. It is the day when we give flowers to mother. My mother got a nice bouquet.”
