This photo brings back such memories! No, I'm not old enough to remember the milkman with a horse and wagon, but I do remember the milkman coming once a week in his truck. . . and the milk products were SO good. 😁

Lifelong Massachusetts resident George Fuller Ames, originally a milkman, later moved on with the times and became a gas station owner. His granddaughter shared this photo of George when he was 24 years old.

Remembering George and the 'good old days' on George's biography.

Years ago as a child in DE, we had a milk man and a bread man, Andy. The neighbors used to tease my mother that Andy was my brother’s (a baby) father, (which of course I didn’t get…too young!) because they both had red hair! We have red hair on both sides of the family. My mother had to explain at first that it was a joke because I was confused. 😂

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.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
