Description

Sepia postcard from sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Titled: "The Old Indian Oven, said to be over five hundred years old. Worthington, Mass., Mass. (#30)". Thrasher was the son of George M. and Hattie Lyman Thrasher. Guy Thrasher was his brother. The sample book was produced during the 1920s when H. B. Thrasher was living and working in Florida. The images are undated but are probably quite a bit earlier, ca. 1910 or so. Indian Oven is a rock formation, probably not used by Native Americans, along Indian Oven Road.
