Description
The Harwood Family are gathered in front of the Crawford Road
farm. Blanche, Bertha, Edna, Harold, Elvira, Arthur and his wife Eva and their
son Stanley are included. This is a southerly view of the family standing in
front of the main dwelling area with a chimney stack and the El is to the left.
Note the shingle roof and tall chimney stack on the El.
The official address was Crawford Road but it was also known as Breakneck Road,
located between the fourth and the fifth resevoirs from which Southbridge
obtains its water supply. Southbridge (incorporated 1816) was part of the town
of Sturbridge at the time this image was captured. Original farm house built for
Ezra Harwood [1784-October 30, 1856] and his wife, Sarah B. Harwood
[1790-d.1846]. The couple was married in October 1810. They had six children. A
saw mill, dairy and lumber business were operated from this farm.
