Siblings Fred, Gerry and Ed Seaver at Whalom Lake in 1923 -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #836

I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite and most priceless family  photographs: 


This picture was taken in the summer of 1923 in front of the cottage that the Fred and Bess (Richmond) Seaver family owned at Whalom Lake, an amusement park for many years located near Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The Seaver family would take weekends during the summer at the lake, and Bess and her sisters would stay for a week or two each summer with their children.

The people in this photograph are, left to right, Frederick W. Seaver (age 12), Geraldine Seaver (age 6), and Edward R. Seaver (age 10). Fred is, of course, my father.  These three were the youngest children of Frederick W. and Alma Bess (Richmond) Seaver and resided in Leominster, Massachusetts in 1923.

This photograph was obtained from the Geraldine (Seaver) Remley family photograph collection handed down from my Aunt Gerry in 2007 after her passing. 

This photograph is a part of our family history.   I used the MyHeritage Photo tools to enhance the faces and brighten up the image.  However, I don't think my father had blue knees.
