Poor Photographs

Poor Photographs

My mother's Poor family was quite a mystery last year. Her great-grandfather's name was lost to us, and with it, the rest of her Poor lineage. With the generous help of Bob Spidell, as well as his indispensible Andover, Maine web site, this lineage has been restored.

In August 2001, Mom and I traveled to Andover for Olde Home Days, where we were able not only to meet Mr. Spidell, along with his wife and brother, but to visit the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Will Chandler, who now own the Merrill/Poor house, and that of Steve and Becky Hudspeth, who own the Poor/Ellis Homestead. In addition, we stopped at Woodlawn Cemetery in Andover, and documented dozens of no-longer misplaced Poor relations. Thanks again to all those who helped us reclaim our heritage.

Where more than one photo in a family exists, names in bold represent my direct line.

There are so many Poors, Merrills, and other interesting stones in Andover's Woodlawn Cemetery, that I thought I would add a page of other significant photos.
