The wedding party for Charles Day and Lura Bancroft taken on the porch of Lura’s parents’ house, at 46 Hopedale Street. (The house next to the Bancroft Library.) The wedding took place on September 11, 1897. The photo is from the Bancroft Library Hopedale history collection.
The group includes Lura at the right, in front, her parents, Joseph and Sylvia Bancroft, and her brother, Eben Draper Bancroft, also in the front row. Lura’s sister, Anna Bancroft is in the dark dress in the middle of the back row. The man behind her is probably Howard Bracken, husband of Lilla Bancroft Bracken. The groom, Charles Day, is behind Lura. Thanks to Dr. Robert Smith for help with identifications and also for the clipping below. Articles from the Milford Daily Journal and Milford Daily News are from the Bancroft Library.
Here the name is given as Laura, but everywhere else that I’ve seen it, it’s Lura.
