Early 1900s Photo Album of Hervey Daniel Foss and Mary Sutherland (Hinkley) Foss of Melrose, Massachusetts and Maine


Early 1900s photograph album that belonged to the family of Hervey Daniel Foss and Mary Sutherland (Hinkley) Foss, Maine natives who lived in Melrose, Massachusetts.  Hervey was born at Hancock, Maine; and Mary, at Alton, Maine.

The album measures approximately 10" by 7" and contains 229 photographs of people and scenery in Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire, where the family had a camp.   Sadly, most photographs are not identified.  See a list farther below of identified people.

See an earlier post that features the photograph album of their daughter Eleanor Frances Foss, which contains 168 photographs.

Mary Sutherland (Hinkley) Foss was born at Alton, Maine, on February 10, 1883, the daughter of Horace Leslie Hinkley and Alice Electa (Sutherland) Hinkley.   Horace had died in 1896 but Alice appears in at least two photographs, including this one with her daughter Blanche Mildred (Hinkley) Perry and Blanche's daughters Helen and Velma, as well as dog "Grubby":


"The Old Homestead" at Alton, Maine, presumably where Mary Sutherland (Hinkley) Foss grew up:


On September 12, 1911, at Bangor, Maine, Mary married Hervey Daniel Foss, son of Augustus B. Foss and Angie Nettie (Springer) Foss.

Below are, top to bottom, photographs of Augustus B. Foss, identified as Dad - Mary's own father had died by then; Angie Nettie (Springer) Foss, with her son Archie Lindsay Foss; and the Foss home at Hancock, Maine:




Hervey and Mary moved to Melrose, Massachusetts, and had two children, Eleanor Frances Foss and Sheldon H. Foss.
