    1. [BKLYN] HIBBARD Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Helen Ruth HIBBARD of Gloucester, Massachusetts which was taken at the C. W. Hearn Studio in Boston, MA. The photograph include reference to the Wellesley Class of 1894. In addition, someone has written "29 Church St." on the back of the photograph, though I'm not sure if that refers to Helen's address or something else. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Helen and her family: Helen Ruth HIBBARD was b. 18 Jan 1873 in CT to parents Rufus Piercy HIBBARD (b. 27 Jan 1844 in New York, NY) and Sarah Amelia BROWN (b. 2 Jul 1868 in NY). Helen was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Sidney Bartlett; Helen Ruth; Rufus Percival; Edward; Frank; and Robert Leonard HIBBARD, all born between 1870 and 1879 in West Springfield, MA; CT; New York, NY; and Brooklyn, NY. Census records provide the following details: 1880 census of Brooklyn, NY: Rufus B. HIBBARD, age 36, a Clergyman, born NY, parents born MA Sarah A. HIBBARD, wife, age 39, Keeping House, born NY, parents born NY Sidney B. HIBBARD, son, age 10, Attending School, born CT Helen R. HIBBARD, dau, age 7, Attending School, born CT Rufus P.
