Joseph and Anna raised my great grandmother, Florence Maud Moore when her mother, Emily died. Emily was Jo’s sister. I am Joseph Moore Bishop’s granddaughter. I hadn’t seen Dr (Uncle) Joe Bascom before. Thanks for posting the photo.

Dr. Bascom was a brother-in-law of an ancestor of mine. Sandy

Beautiful photo. Was Joseph Bascom a physician born in Uxbridge. On. and practised there for many years? Sandy

No, they weren’t related. My understanding is that Gertrude’s mother and Anna were good friends and when her mother died Anna and Joseph took Gertrude in. And while I think it would be fun to try on a dress like that, I’m really thankful I don’t have to live my life in one!

Love the photo, Jen. Was Gertrude related to Joseph and Anna? Love the dress but can’t imagine chasing around after toddlers in that, can you? Thanks for sharing.
