| Mary Ann POLLOCK-FLAGG |
IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: Mary Ann Pollock, Worcester Mass
PHOTO TAKEN: unknown studio, circa 1875
PHOTO ACQUIRED: Dec 2022 South Florida Fairgrounds Antiques Festival
Mary Ann POLLOCK, born 1848 in Marlboro, to parents Patrick POLLOCK & Bridget DORSEY (or MADDEN.) Her siblings included Margaret, Edward and Elisa.
1 Jun 1890, at age 41, she married Joel Sidney FLAGG, age 58. It was her first marriage. It was Joel's second marriage, his first wife having passed in 1885. Joel Flagg's parents were Joshua & Almira FLAGG. At the time of her marriage, Mary Ann worked in the capacity of housekeeper for a private family.
Sadly, Mary Ann's husband died in a workplace accident a mere 7 months after they were married.

This obit was found in the Apr 1, 1927 edition of The Evening Gazette, Worcester MA.
I regret that I am unable to find any further data on Mary Ann. It appears she had no children to keep her memory and mourn her passing. It looks rather doubtful that I will be able to find a descendant to whom I may gift this photograph, but perhaps some tangential relation can be found.
