143b comes across as a close-up of 143a but is a separate photo. The three girls pictured are Mabel Thayer Shaw, Deborah Annie, and Ethel Thayer Britt. According to a Worthington Historical Society member, Deborah Annie died as a child and Mabel was grandmother to Diane Henry. The men are not identified but the one closest to the girls looks very much like Reverend Moody. This photo is featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 88 #12 and the republished Papers on the History of Worthington (2007), page 66.

In his book, Rev. Moody also mentions Dwight Thayer (assuming he was Alfred's father). He writes that Dwight Thayer lived with his great uncle, Noah Pierce, who kept 'the hotel in Chesterfield' and later moved to Worthington where he kept the hotel 'near the watering tank at the Corners.' According to Moody, Dwight Thayer married Alfred Brown's daughter and their children were George, Alfred (as described above), Mary, Lucy, Julia, Julia 2nd, Emma, Edward, Ransom, and Warren. ]]> The South Worthington Parish by Rev.
