VINCIENT, BAGNERES - DE - BIGORRE, FRANCE with date of 1872 additional information on the Southworth Southworth brothers were engaged in paper manufacturing in western Massachusetts and Connecticut from the early years of the century and particularly after 1850. Wells Southworth built a mill in Mittineague West Springfield in 1839 and there made fine writing paper by hand. In 1866 Edward Southworth married Harriet Ann Deane and had one child. Harriet Ann Southworths abbreviations are H.A.S. as seen on this stereoview.
His mill became the property of the Southworth Manufacturing Company of which for more than fifty years he was president and which later became the Southworth Company in the control of his son Horatio W Southworth. A younger brother Edward Southworth ( from my research I believe that Edward was the father of Alice H. Southworth and or abbreviations of A. H. S.) was connected with the paper manufacturing in Mittineague in 1839. The two brothers also organized the Hampshire Paper Company of South Hadley Falls. The Southworths were considered an upper class family and traveled the world including England, France, Germany etc as note with either the name or initials on the back of the stereoviews as offered for sale. The initials vary from H.A. S to A. H. S. This information came from the Southworth and Dickerson papers.
