Description: William Francis Stanley was born to Sans and Lucy Dolliver (Getchell) Stanley in 1854 in Tremont, Maine. William married Estella Benson (1855-1940), daughter of William H. and Lucy Ann (Noonan) Benson, on December 9, 1879. William Francis Stanley died in October 1909. L.W.

The photograph belongs to the Clark family, descendants of Nathan Clark and Mercy (Higgins) Clark. Archivists have debated Mary's identity for some time. Their best guess is that she is Amelia Mary Clark (1831-1905), daughter of John Clark and Margaret Adaline (Richardson) Clark, granddaughter of Nathan Clark and Mercy (Higgins) Clark – Mrs. William Thomas Holmes, mother of Anson Irving Holmes. The photograph was likely taken at the Lewis Holmes house on Fernald Point Road.
