Wonder if they are dead in the photo

Jere Abbot was the first director of the museum of modern art in New York, according to Wikipedia associate director

 

[jtw1313]

I think the dates are different

 

[Bruce R]

You're right, maybe his father ? The dates really don't make any sense though, even for that.

 

[jtw1313]

Yeah didn't think of that

 

[Bruce R]

Jeremiah Abbott 1824-1895. Look up Ellen M. ( Bangs ) Abbott.

 

[Bruce R]

Encyclopedia of 19th cent. Photography lists Alfred Brown.

[pattymi770]

They lived in 406 Beacon (back bay houses) in Massachusetts

 

[Bruce R]

I can't seem to be able to do those link things on my iPad, everyone gives me hell for that, I just google everything and post what I find, sorry!

Good one Bruce. Using that I found his burial info: Jeremiah Abbott (1824 - 1895) - Find A Grave Memorial

 

[Bruce R]

Ok, we know who he was, where he lived, spouses and children's names, and where he's buried. I'm guessing that anything else would be personal and we'd have to hold a seance and ask him. LOL

 

[jtw1313]
