Thomas SHEEHAN - H. Jenks Studio
I have a family photo of my great-grandfather Thomas SHEEHAN (from Canton, Mass) and his wife Flora (MACASKILL - MACLEOD from Gould, Quebec) with 5 of their children. The photo has the photographer listed as "H. Jenks Studio, St. Johnsbury, Vt." and was probably taken around 1908. I know that this family moved from Canton, Mass to Anaconda, Montana between 1908 and 1910, but they obviously stopped at St. Johnsbury. I am trying to determine why they went to St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Were they visiting relatives? Was Thomas trying to get work there? When was this photographer in business? I will be pleased to hear from anyone who has any information to help me solve this riddle. VPeterson show email address |
