I am posting photographs from my family collections for (Not So) Wordless Wednesday (you know me, I can't go wordless!).
This picture is of Henry Winthrop Pickford (1895-1987) taken, probably, in the 1920s. He was the son of Walter and Anne Frances (Richmond) Pickford, who resided in Clinton, Massachusetts. Anne Richmond was the daughter of Thomas and Julia (White) Richmond of Killingly, Connecticut and Leominster, Massachusetts - my great-grandparents. Anne's sister, Alma Bessie Richmond, was my grandmother. Therefore, Henry Winthrop Pickford was my first cousin, once removed.
I received this picture from my parents family picture collection in the 1988 to 2002 time period.
A summary of Henry Pickford's offices was published in the document "1949-1950 Public Officers of the COMMONWEALTH of MASSACHUSETTS," prepared and printed under authority of Section 18 of Chapter 5 of the General Laws, as most recently amended by Chapter 466 of the Acts of 1946 by IRVING N. HAYDEN Clerk of the Senate AND LAWRENCE R. GROVE Clerk of the House of Representatives.
