Yesterday, I received some more information about the "Sturbridge Mystery" I wrote about in April. I still find it amazing how our questions can eventually find their way to those that have some answers. Sometimes those answers may be from far away, or in this case, in our own backyard.
"Hello-
I had read your blog post about finding those pictures of people from Sturbidge. You were looking for some information on some of the people in the pictures.
"The girl on the lower left center" (Edna) is Edna S Morse. She is my great great grandmother and was born in Sturbridge in 1863. She stayed in Massachusetts her whole life, marrying the artist George S Payne (my great great grandfather) in 1884, and dying in Springfield, Massachusetts, although there is no clear date on this.
Hopes this helps!
PS: Elisha Southwick, whom you also metioned in your blog post, was Edna's maternal grandfather and A.C. Morse, or Amasa Morse, was her father.
Hope this helps!
Joe Sullivan
Southwick, MA"
