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.

The obituary reads:

Dorothy A. Bean, 84, of Farmington passed away on August 20, 2021 after a period of declining health.

Dottie was born in Orange, NJ on January 6, 1937 to the late Joseph and Donna (Otey) Bean and spent her childhood in New Jersey. After her father retired, the family moved to Farmington, NH where Dottie’s grandfather owned a 340 acre farm. Dottie graduated from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA in 1958 with a bachelor’s degree in biology.

After graduation, she worked as a research supervisor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston under a grant administered by Harvard University. In 1970, she accepted a position with Tufts University at New England Medical Center in Boston, now Tufts Medical Center.

Because of her parents' failing health, Dottie moved back to her family’s Farmington home in 1990 and resigned from Tufts in 1991. Since the death of her parents, Dottie has taken care of the farm’s buildings and property. During her custodianship, she developed an abiding concern for forest preservation and farming.

While living in Farmington, Dottie was an active member and avid supporter of many area organizations, including the NH Farm Museum, where she was the membership registrar; NH Historical Society; Farmington Historical Society, where she had served as president and headed a committee to publish a book on the town’s history; Farmington Woman’s Club; Goodwin Library, where she had served as a trustee; NH Preservation Alliance; Currier Museum of Art; Wright Museum and the First Congregational Church of Farmington, where she was active in the Women’s Fellowship and was one of the founding members of Blessed Bargains thrift shop. She also worked at the voting polls during each town election for many years and in 1995, she was named Puddledock Press Person of the Year. Dottie was an enthusiastic supporter of the Boy Scouts, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, where she was passionate about conserving the land. 

Her deep appreciation of history and land converged on her own property, where she worked tirelessly for more than 30 years on the restoration and improvement of her historic home and land. Her conviction in the importance of farming and her belief in the need to preserve and protect undeveloped land led Dottie to establish the Joseph D. ‘26, Donna M. and Dorothy A. Bean Endowed Fund at the University of New Hampshire. She established this fund in honor of her father who graduated from UNH in 1926. This fund will provide need-based scholarship support for students enrolled in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture and will also provide general support for COLSA faculty members.

There will be a graveside service at Pine Grove Cemetery in Farmington, NH on Sunday, September 12 at 1:00 PM. If you wish to honor Dottie’s memory with a donation, please direct it to the charity of your choice or to the UNH Foundation with Bean Endowed Fund in the memo, University of NH, 9 Edgewood Road, Durham, NH 03824.

Paul Moulton
May 14, 1951 - July 22, 2021

Farmington, NH Paul Moulton passed away peacefully on July 22, 2021 at the age of seventy after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was the loving husband of Linda Moulton; proud father of three sons, Corey, Jamie and his wife Jill, Mike and his wife Heather; cherished grandfather of Sophie, Brady, Keltin, Reid, and Elise; dear son of Robert “Buzz” Moulton. He was predeceased by his mother, Althena Moulton, and sister, Gloria Vachon.

After graduating high school, Paul went on to work for forty-six years at DiPrizio’s Lumber Mill then Middleton Building Supply.

While working and raising three boys of his own with his wife Linda, Paul dedicated his time to serve as a volunteer on the Farmington Fire Department for twenty-four years. He also took pride in fostering the love of the sports in children, volunteering for over twenty years, at the Farmington 500, with the basketball and baseball programs. In his retirement, many things brought Paul joy, but nothing did like seeing his own grandchildren play on the court or field. During his short retirement, Paul enjoyed spending time with the love of his life and wife of fifty-two years, Linda. He enjoyed fishing, camping, and catching up with friends. As a friend, Paul always had a way to make you feel special, remembering to ask about something you mentioned in passing. Paul leaves behind countless friends whose lives he touched with his humor and loyalty.

A service will be held on Sunday, August 1st at 2:00 p.m. at the First Congregational Church in Farmington, followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Paul’s honor to the Farmington 500, a volunteer organization that was important to Paul. The Farmington 500, P.O.
