Photographs

 

City Fathers Oct. 20, 1898.  This photo was donated to Hudson Museum by the late Lynn Huff, grandson of Oliver Bentley (holding jug).  Annis Darr wrote about all these men in her history except Lyman Cooley, who was apparently in town visiting his brother Orange. The Cooley brothers were great uncles to Annis Darr.

Aldrich J. McLouth in his Old White Store on a bright summer day 1906, the year his daughter Mattie married Abner Griffith.  Note the telephones and the big red coffee grinder recalled by Maude Ingall Carpenter; from Hudson Museum.

Cheese factory interior early 1900's, real photo post card taken by Hudson photographer Perley Lord, who also took the Medina Village mills photo.  We cannot say for certain the location of this enterprise in the photo, but Mr. Lord's studio was in Hudson.   Photo:  David V.

Cornelius Brazee at his shaving horse, preparing wood for his famous splint baskets, circa 1898.  Grandpa Brazee lived at lots 2 and 3 in Section 9, with neighbors Dr. Ely, Dr. Coffin, and the Guss family across the street.  There is a photo of him with his large family at his Find-a-Grave memorial (See useful links in the sidebar).  This scanned photo provided by Cornelius' descendant Mike Disbrow, who informed us that basketry of Cornelius' son is on display at the Manton Historical Museum.
