Included with the photos is this account of possible history by Linda Peckham:

This group of pictures are of the Tanner home at 39 Main Street. This property was purchased by
William H Tanner in 1851 from Jonathan Roberts according to the registry of deeds .Both of these
names are on the 1871 town map of Farmington. I'm not sure if the property had buildings on it when
it was purchased.

The people in the photo might be William H Tanner (1825-1906) and his wife Martha (Giles) Tanner
(1844-1918) or it is possible that is John Tanner(l788-I868) William"s father His mother Mary Jane
(Thompson) Tanner (1789-1859) had probably passed away.

William & Martha had 4 children: Charles 1865-1890. Once 1866-1950. Lizzy 1870-1936. and George
Irving 1878-1959.

George Irving and his wife moved in with his mother Martha after Williams passing, after her passing
he brought out his sisters to own the property. He and his wife Gertrude (Smart) Tanner lived there until
their deaths. They had three children Leona (1911-1911), Evelyn (Tanner) Furber (1912-1997) and
Floyd I. (1914-2011).

Floyd bought the property from his parents before their deaths. He and his wife Edna (Marcoux) Tanner
lived on the property until their passing 2011 and 2016 respectively.

His wife was my Aunt and her sister Jeanette Flanagan as the administrator of her will thought that you might be interested in the picture.
