Kent-M ahaffy Image Galleries These photos are from a collection acquired by the Historical Society in 2018. It contained hundreds of early East Wallingford documents and records going back to the late 1700s. Added in the early 20C were glass plate photo negatives and ephemera belonging to Kent siblings, Wyatt, Duane, and Drusilla, who came to Rutland and Proctor from East Wallingford. When Duane Kent’s daughter, Virginia Kent Wicks, passed away in 1991, all the boxes of family papers were left in the attic of her home in Teaneck, N.J. The new owners contacted the Rutland Historical Society and in 2018 the contents were retrieved. The early East Wallingford papers were turned over to the Wallingford Historical Society. Rutland papers and the negatives from the Proctor photographer, Dick M ahaffy, were kept by the Rutland Historical Society. The over 1000 negatives were scanned and the best of the resulting images are in the Kent-M ahaffy Images Galleries as follows: Part | - The Kent and M ahaffy Families and Family Fun Part Il - In and Around Proctor Part Ill - Proctor Boy Scouts and YM CA (later Sutherland Club) Part IV - Vermont Marble Company Part V - Family Travel David Richard M ahaffy, better known as Dick M ahaffy, held several positions in Proctor, starting with General Secretary of the YMCA (and later Sutherland Club), Boy Scouts Leader, Auditor, and later Road, Cemetery and Tree Commissioner positions. Because of his photography interest and skill he took many photos over the years, some of which may have appeared in various publications. The original negatives ended up in the family collection kept by Virginia Kent Wicks. Although M ahaffy was the photographer and owner of the negatives, he appears in many of the photos, so someone else is also operating the camera. In addition to the images he captured with the camera M ahaffy appeared to take pictures of older photos as well as pages from books or documents - sort of an old fashioned scanning method. You will see some of these in the galleries. Part IV - Vermont Marble Company As we know the Vermont M arble Company was at the heart of much of Proctor’s history. These photos show views of the marble yards and buildings. Also included is a company event which attracted what looks like well over a hundred people and additionally, some images of VM sites outside of Vermont, many of them probably from books.
