Description

Two sepia postcard from sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Both titled: ‘The Castle Farm, South Worthington, Mass.‘. (#13 and #14). 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. 1910-1915 or so.

The following is from the Moody book (1905), p. 52: "The Castle place owned by Doctor Conwell. It was last occupied by Albert Stratton b. June 1, 1878. his mother, Sarah Stratton, b. in Vermont, Feb., 9, 1901, m. March 1861, came to this place November, 1901. Albert m. Florence Drake, June 1904. This place has been owned by Horace Cole, Jackson brothers, Eli Cady, Dwight Stanton, Mr. Castle, and Harvey Adams. Doctor Moore built the house and sold to Horace Cole."
