Nellie Silver, Albert “Peter” Silver, and Helen Clark – about 1906
Albert “Pete” Silver and his sisters, Nellie Silver (far left) and Helen Clark (middle), were photographed in the South Rumford barn yard of Wallace and Mary Clark, their parents. It must have been chilly enough for sweaters as they stand just behind the large, wooly sheep and the tiny piglet. I wonder if that sheep will be entered into the county fair? To my eyes it seems huge! The photograph must have come from a family album. I have the digital version of this photo, which my mother-in-law, Ruth, graciously shared with me. I believe it is her handwriting at the bottom of the photo. Unfortunately, I don’t know who keeps the original photo, or the photo album.
Below is a diagram to identify the family relationships:
