Gram Fifield, about 1890, Mechanic Falls, Maine

Hester Ann (Ellingwood) Fifield, 1820-1895, was foster mother to my Great-grandmother Rose Ella (Andrews) Griffin. Rose Ella's father died in the Civil War and her mother died soon after. Hester, and her husband Edward Fifield, raised Rose Ella and her brother and sister in Dummer, New Hampshire, where Edward listed his occupation as "river man."

 

We have Hester's photo album and parlor mirror in our apartment here in New York City.
