Featured Artifact of the Week

Group Photograph

From the Collection

Group black and white photo showing women from multiple Westford families, including Atwood. It was taken no later than 1935. Sisters Sarah Caroline “Carry” Atwood (1853-1945), Lillian “Lilly” Atwood (1856-1940), and Mary “May” Atwood (1860-1951) are probably middle row, seated with Ada Sharpe Day (1864-1964). Ada is related to Marilyn Day, who donated the picture. The three Atwood sisters never married, and stayed in Westford throughout their lives.

Others identified are Mrs. Patterson (with her mother and daughter), Evelyn Mai Rafter Roudenbush (1873-1956), Miss Loker, Mrs. Felch, Janet Wright (1858-1935), Zina Ingalls, and Alice Lambert.
