Admin/Biographical History |
These family photographs were donated to the Town Archives by Stanley Symmes Locke. Stanley and his sister Betty are the children of Willard and Gladys (Locke) Locke. Willard was one of seven children (six sons, one daughter) of George and Elizabeth Locke and he grew up on the Locke Farm on Ridge Street. A number of Willard's siblings were farmers on the Locke Farm and this collection includes pictures of them on the farm. Willard did not become a farmer like his brothers, but was a banker at Boston Safe Deposit and Trust. Willard Locke descends from Josiah and Priscilla (Symmes) Locke also of the Locke Farm here in Winchester. Gladys Locke, Willard's wife, is the daughter of Oscar Locke of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Grace Trofitter of Newtonville. At the time that Stanley brought the photographs to the archives, he was kind enough to enumerate his genealogy. A family tree has been organized and is attached to this finding aid. |
