I've "rescued" an old photograph of Harold B. SWEETSER which was taken at
the Lewiston, ME studio of Harry L. Plummer. The photograph indicates that
Harold was from the Hebron Academy Class of 1907 so the photograph was
likely taken about that time. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding Harold and his family:
Harold Blake SWEETSER was b. 7 Mar 1888 in Woburn, MA to parents Charles
Augustus SWEETSER (1833-1910) and Abby Wingate HORNE (1841-1916). Harold
was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Effie Caroline (b.
1861); Alice Henrietta (1864-1937); Fred Augustus (1866-1884); John Harlow
(1869-1937); Hattie Gertrude (1872-1876); and Harold Blake SWEETSER. Harold
married Nellie CLARKE (b. 1887) and he died 19 Feb 1965 in Massachusetts and
is buried in the Woodbrook Cemetery in Woburn, MA.
