Smelt Pond Summer
Eric's in the middle and the fellow to the far right is from NY. Anyone know who any of these people are?
Below is Uncle Tom's cottage. Uncle Tom Clark.
Eric's in this one again and he has no idea who the others are. Thinks the kids are cousins.....Clarks more than likely. Check it out and comment.

Now here's a connection
Now it gets interesting. Herb Jr's mother, your grandmother or great grandmother Flora, according to the 1920 census, was living in Weymouth at 55 Vine St with her sister Bertha B Johnson. Bertha was 25 then and had arrived here in 1911. Flora was 20 and had arrived in 1914. They were born in Norway (no surprise) and both parents were as well. They both were shoeworkers in a shoe shop. Guess who may have brought Flora and Herb Sr. together? Brother Frederick -- shoeworker in a shoe shop. Cool Huh? Oh, but wait a minute. Flora was 20, Frederick was 19, perhaps Frederick was dating Flora and Herb stepped in. That may be why no one remembers Uncle Frederick. Yikes!
Here are the two census documents from 1920..... this one is Flora....make it larger and look for Johnson in the left hand column.
This one is for Herb Sr and family Enjoy!

A Find
I'm not sure this can get bigger if you click on it. If not, I will see if I can make it bigger so it can be read but- - - cool huh? And he would be your grandfather or great grandfather or father-in-law depending on which Carroll you are. This is Albert Smart, Eleanor's father.
Now enough of the Smarts -- here is a Carroll picture and I think it's a good one.
Herb in Kingston. I think this was taken on the same day as that earlier picture of Roy and Eric. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Fun with the Family
Eric and Roy last summer in Kingston celebrating Roy and Debby's birthday.
This blog has been created so that the Carrolls can share stories and pictures and facts and fiction about the family in all it's glory.
