Business Desk | Wadsworth-Raye Family | Circa 1860 | Eastport, MaineDescription
Gift from Susan Raye, Falmouth, Maine 2025
Susan said the desk came from the house of her great-great-grandfather, George Ferdinand Wadsworth (November 1, 1808 - May 15, 1903), at 62 High Street in Eastport, Maine. The desk then descended to George's son, Henry Howard Wadsworth (March 1, 1833 - February 10, 1934), and to his house at 22 Key Street. The desk then descended to Henry's daughter, Mary Howard Wadsworth (July 13, 1872 - November 6, 1970), who never married and lived at 22 Key Street until she died in 1970. Susan's father, Henry Wadsworth Raye (May 24, 1912 - August 5, 2002), got the desk around 1970 and kept it at his home in Eastport. His mother was Helen Prince (Wadsworth) Raye. The desk then descended to Susan Raye of Falmouth, Maine.
