I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as that of Grandmother GORDON
which was taken at the R. J. Nowell Studio in Stoneham, Massachusetts. In
addition to her name, someone has also written "Harold SEARS' Grandmother
GORDON" and the dates "1843-1932". Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding this family:
Harold Gordon SEARS was b. 18 Sept 1898 in Stoneham, MA to Walter G. SEARS
and S. Gertrude GORDON. Harold died in Reading, MA in Aug 1971.
Census records provide the following details:
1940 census of Stoneham, MA:
Harold G. SEARS, age 41, born MA, a Filing Station Attendant
S. Gertrude SEARS, Mother, age 70, a widow, born MA
Emma CLIFTON, Aunt, age 74, a widow, born ME
+ 1 Lodger
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be
returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
