Mary R.(Begin) Buckmore, Sr., was the oldest of nine children and married in August 11, 1941.
She married my father, Alvah Clarence Buckmore, Sr., in August 11 of 1941; in the state of Maine.
Until her four boys were nearly all grown up in high school, she didn't really work full-time, though she worked briefly at the Bonnie Rigg Restaurant in Becket, Massachusetts; as a waitress, from between 1955 and 1958 if I can remember correctly.
She retired at the age of 57 as the Head Seamstress at the Western Massachusetts State Hospital (Westfield) but still worked periodically in her home doing furniture repair work and alternations until her mid-60's. By her late 60's she was too ill to work.
The Black & White photograph second from the upper right-hand corner is that of my mother holding my youngest brother, Clyde Robert Buckmore (according to my brother David, who remembers it); taken in the winter of 1950-51, of course shortly after his birth, somewhere near Durham or South Gardiner, Maine, I suspect.
