Today while sorting a pile of miscellaneous papers, this photo surfaced. It's a familiar image; I've had a copy of it before, but this print is in better condition and has a date clearly written on the back: 12/28/48. The paper pile from which it emerged provided more clues of its provenance. These came to me in fall 2017 during a visit to a relative in Modesto, California. She passed to me many items related to our Nichols family, including this old photo of her husband's grandfather and grandmother, William Stanley Nichols and Nellie (Johnson) Nichols in Danvers.
Nichols Street is visible behind us. We were standing on the front lawn of my childhood home at 120 Nichols Street.
The woods across the street were in the Locust Lawn property.
The stone wall along Nichols Street looks in very good shape then. Over the years my mother fussed that some stones were falling down, and hard to replace. She liked that wall and wanted it preserved.
