Homer Locke Photos

Homer Locke lived in West Bolton and was a contemporary of Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley. These photos were obtained from Locke's estate by Wilson and Mary Sanders of West Bolton and were purchased at auction in 2009, after Wilson's death, as Mary was preparing to move to New Hampshire to live with her daughter. Joss Besse took the lead in obtaining funding from local residents on very short notice and bidding on these photos in hopes of retaining this valuable historic record of the area. Joss arranged to have the glass plate negatives professionally scanned so that they can be shared with a wide audience.
