Sanborn residence in Argyle (ME) with barn and shed. Family posing in front and in the window openings. Leroy Sundreland Sanborn (1851-1934), a native of LaGrange, was a longtime resident of Argyle, where he owned a farm two lots north of Charlie Dow's. In 1878, he had married Adeline Mary Bussell (1853-1910), a member of one of the settler families of Argyle. After Adeline's death, he left Argyle for a while, but in 1917, he returned after marrying Julia Waterhouse (1855-1935), a sister of William Waterhouse, then mayor of Old Town. Photographer unclear, but probably Rhodes.
