The home of Jane Hadsell, the mother of photographer Clinton Hadsell. This is now a vacant lot, across from 11 East Main Street. See Clinton’s photograph #182 for a clear image. That may be Jane Had-sell sitting at the right. Captioned by Nora Howard, Avon Town Historian, Summer 2020. Sources: as noted and from online sources such as ancestry.com; the US Census, wikipedia, and pertinent websites. Also see Nora Howard’s essay on the Hadsell Family (also posted on Ct. Digital Archive). If you are inter-ested in conducting more research, be sure to see the collections of the Avon Free Public Library Marian Hunter History Room. These captions were completed the summer of 2020 (except as not-ed) and the library was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
