5"x7" photograph of a home, identified on the reverse as the home of Eliza Sampson at Hanson, Massachusetts, "birthplace of Julia Marion and I. Lewis Tillson".
From brief online research, hopefully correct: [corrections and additions requested!]
I believe the homeowner was Eliza T. Sampson, born June 14, 1842 at Pembroke, Massachusetts, the daughter of Turner and Eunice Sampson. Eliza's mother died in 1852 and her father, with whom she made her home, in 1893. Eliza herself, apparently having never married, died in 1923 and is buried with her parents at Mount Zion Cemetery at Whitman, Massachusetts.
Was Eliza a midwife?
Julia Marion Tillson and Isaiah Lewis Tillson were the children of Isaiah Newton Tillson and Julia Anna (Peterson) Tillson. Julia Marion Tillson, or Marion Julia Tillson, was born November 16, 1871, at Hanson, Massachusetts; she would marry Chester S. Hale. Sadly, she died young, on August 30, 1891 at Whitman, Massachusetts.
Isaiah Lewis Tillson was born July 18, 1874 at Hanson, Massachusetts. Isaiah Lewis Tillson married twice: in 1898 he married Nellie Maria Drury, with whom he had, I believe, six children; and about 1924 he married Harriet Elizabeth Westgate. Isaiah Lewis Tillson died Mary 10, 1955 at Hanson, Massachusetts.
