    1. [MAMiddle] BLOOD Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Alice BLOOD of Groton, Massachusetts which was taken at the F. Glenton Studio in Nashua, New Hampshire. The photograph is dated 1883 and indicates that Alice is in the "Class of '83". Alice appears to be in her teens or early 20's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to the help of a BLOOD Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding Alice and her family: Alice Elvira BLOOD b. 11 Oct 1863 in Groton, MA to parents John BLOOD & Mary Ann Elizabeth FULERCK. Alice married Henry GAY on 9 Jul 1884 in Groton, MA and together they had 4 children including, William, Lawrence, Helen, and Alfred GAY. Their son Lawrence was killed during WWI and the American Legion Post at Groton is named in his honor. Census records provide the following information: 1870 census of Groton, MA: John F. BLOOD, age 37, a Farmer, born MA M. Elizabeth BLOOD, age 37, Keeps House, born MA Emma N. BLOOD, age 10, Attends School, born MA Alice BLOOD, age 6, Attends School, born MA 1880 census of Groton, MA: John F. BLOOD, age 48, born MA, a Farmer, parents born MA Elisabeth M. BLOOD, wife, age 47, born MA, Keeping House, parents born MA Emma W. BLOOD, dau, age 20, born MA, School Teacher Alice E. BLOOD, dau, age 16, born MA, at School + 1 Farm Laborer I am hoping to locate someone from Alice's family so that this beautiful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
