Description
Sepia postcard from sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Titled: ‘In the Dugway, Worthington, Mass ‘. (#66).
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.
There appear to be two people in the carriage, a man and a boy. The location is along what is sometimes called "South Worthington Road," which proceeds along the "Little River" (tributary of the Westfield River) north from Ireland Street. The stone abutment seen in the photograph can still be seen along the Little River about half a mile northwest of Ireland Street, in land now owned (in 2019) by the Hilltown Land Trust. The road is now overgrown.
