Notes from Nana
Several of her hand-written memories from childhood through her adult years
Great Aunt Helen’s Photo Album
Helen Wales (1886-1977) was the daughter of George Rogers Wales and Mabel Louise Hervey. While she never married, the children and grandchildren of her niece and nephews have enjoyed many stories of Great Aunt Helen, who shared many of her memories in her special style of verse. Recently we reopened a tattered three ring binder that Helen compiled in the the 1960’s, including many gathered snapshots and a collection of memories in her style of verse. We are now compiling these here to share with family and friends.
Wilbor House
The Wilbor House is located in Little Compton, Rhode Island, located north-east of Newport near the Massachusetts border. The original portion of the house was built in 1690 by Samuel Wilbor, the 5th great grandfather of Susan Hervey Wales. At least three generations of Susan’s ancestors lived in this house.
