Description

Sepia post card: 'Looking east from Hotel, Worthington, Mass.' Old Post Road is unpaved. Lower right shows the 'Gurney House' which also burned when hotel burned. Also shows sidewalk and electric poles. The WHS has duplicate copies of this postcard.

Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927) was the son of George M. and Hattie Lyman Thrasher. Guy Thrasher was his brother. This 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. 1915 or so.

image from Bartlett family, 2008; also from Thrasher sample book donated, 2018, by Barbara Batura and Marjorie Candiano, H. B. Thrasher's grand-nieces. They received it from their brother, Roy. E. Johnson Jr.
