Massachusetts, Hancock
Description

This photograph is inscribed on the back, "Frances and Glaydes," and was taken at the cellar entrance to the Trustees' Office at the Church Family. The Sister standing behind Eldress Frances Hall and "Glaydes" appears to be Eldress Sarah Collins from Mount Lebanon. If that is the case it is likely that this photograph was taken between October 1947, when those remaining at the North Family moved to Hancock and when Eldress Sarah died at the end of November, 1947. The snow on the ground certainly supports that time-line. Hancock Photograph Album.
