I have an old studio photograph of Foster ELLSWORTH who was Amy’s Brother. Foster passed away when 2 years and four months old. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880’s or 1890’s with Foster about one year old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Foster and his family:
Amy May ELLSWORTH was b. 19 Jul 1889 in Laconia, NH to Alden D. ELLSWORTH (1861-1897) and Athalia LOCKHART. Foster was Amy’s only sibling born 1 May 1891 and died 6 May 1893 and is buried in the Union Cemetery in Laconia, NH. Amy was living with her maternal Aunt Cerena LOCKHART WEBB HUNTER and her husband Edward WEBB in both the 1900 and 1910 census records, suggesting that her mother was also deceased by that time.
Amy married Herbert Collier WILLIAMS (1887-1966) on 27 Jul 1914 in Boston, MA. Amy and Herbert had two children including Elaine Mildred WILLIAMS URQUHART (1915-2006) and Doris Hattie WILLIAMS GOODALE (1916-2007). Amy died 19 Feb 1968 in Nashua, NH and is buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Milford, NH.
I am hoping to get the photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
