George Fuller Ames Oct 3, 1892 - Jun 21, 1981 Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States

George Fuller Ames' father was Edwin Walter Ames (1864 - 1897) and his mother was Belle Adeline Trask (1870 - 1906). He had siblings Elizabeth, John, and Fred. George married Ella Josephine (Snell) Ames (1893 - 1981) on August 16, 1919, in Wareham, Massachusetts. They had children Edwin, George, John, and Virginia. When George was 48, he and Ella lived in Wareham on Sandwich Road with children Edwin, George Jr, John, Virginia, and niece Emma Leonard. George owned a gas station and son Edwin was a truck driver, working for a house construction company. George and Ella had been married for 50 years when, in 1979, President Carter sent them an anniversary card. See a photo of them reading the card at Ella (Snell) & George Ames, 1979.

As the genealogy & local history librarian at Wareham (Mass)Free Library, I am always interested in finding family histories and photos from our area. Some early family names here are: Bates, Besse, Bourne, Burgess, Bumpus, Maxim, Fearing, Swift, Gibbs, and Savery. The early 20th Century brought to our town, many ethnic groups seeking work in the cranberry industry. We are proud to share our history with families of Finnish, Cape Verdean and Italian descent. We must all remember that photographs are more than just faces. They were taken to capture a moment in history.
