In memory of my Great-Grandmother, DOROTHY MELOON YEATON, who was born in New Castle, New Hampshire on 11 Jan 1870, the daughter of Nathaniel B and Louisa M (Meloon) Yeaton. She died in Portsmouth, NH on 2 Dec 1927, and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, New Castle. She was married, in Portsmouth, NH on 14 Sept 1889, to JOHN TAYLOR DOW, the son of John T.H. and Mary A (Riley) Dow. They had seven sons and two daughters while they lived in New Castle and Portsmouth. The above photo was taken at Harold Dow's house in South Eliot, with Dorothy and John T Dow in the background. Three of their sons are in front, along with Harold's wife Lora.

The photo on right is of my great-grandparents, John T Dow and Dorothy M (Yeaton). Except for a brief time following their 1889 marriage, when they stayed with her father in New Castle, they lived their lives in Portsmouth, NH. They didn't own a home, they were renters, and stayed in at least eight different addresses within the city. These two pictures from the family photo album were clearly taken at the same location. But, where was it? I have looked at all their known living places on the Sanborn fire maps, and didn't find a matching residence. I have looked at the same places from Google's street and satellite views, but can't seem to locate this spot! It may be the backside of 28 Blossom, but photo I do have of Dorothy that was marked "Blossom St" shows her a lot younger than this one. The brickwork does look similar to the back part of the building.
