Then and Now: A St. Johnsbury View with Waterford Connection
The Waterford Historical Society just accepted, with much delight and appreciation, two photo albums that belonged originally to Richard E. (Dick) Ide, contributed by his grandson Jamie and Jamie's daughter Charlotte.
Now and then, we'll show the current locations of some of the photos in the album. Today's images are actually from St. Johnsbury, the home of the Ides at that time; Waterford's White Birch Farm, which we'll show soon, was a company farm for the grain business of E.T. & H.K. Ide. In the 1920s, the young Dick Ide rode horseback at and around White Birch Farm in Waterford, boated on nearby Stiles Pond, and went hunting.
Peggy Pearl of the St Johnsbury History and Heritage group identified these for us: The house is on Sand Hill and she lived there for her first six months! Dick Ide was her uncle; Dick's wife Margaret Morrison Pearl was the aunt for whom Peggy was named. Beside the house image is a view east across the railroad and including McLeod's mill, now gone. Click on an image to see it in larger form.
