The mid-wife of Mt. Holly, Vermont and her horse


According to the information on the back of this photo's frame this lady was a mid-wife who lived in Mt. Holly, Vermont. She drove around in a buggy to deliver babies. Does anyone know her name and the name of her horse? Judging by her clothing this photo may have been taken in the late 1800's or early 1900's.

Do you know where and when this fire happened?




These photos may have been taken here in Vermont but I have no way to be sure. There was no information on the back of these real photo post cards and I don't recognize the landmark. Fires are never a good thing and back then fire fighting apparatus was minimal at best.

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!" Now you know where that expression comes from.
