This is a four generation picture that was taken before the death of Sarah Fairbanks Towne in 1926. Back row: Eunice Gertrude Towne Deering born March 12, 1873 to Alvin Oscar Towne and Sarah Fairbanks Towne. Gertrude married Thomas Deering November 12, 1892. She died December 12, 1946. Her daughter Blanche Towne Goodell is also in the back row. Blanche was born February 15, 1898. She married Ira Goodell. She died August 16, 1977 in Madison but was buried in Hammond, Wisconsin. The baby is Zella Goodell Olsen, daughter of Blanche & Ira. Zella was 5 years old at the time of the 1930 census so she would have been a baby in 1926. Holding Zella is her great-grandmother Sarah Fairbanks Towne. Sarah was born July 9, 1855 in the Town of Belmont to Cyrus Fairbanks and his wife Eveline McKnight. She married Alvin Oscar Towne April 14, 1871. She died April 29, 1926. |
