NotesSubject Note: William J. "Bill" Hamersley was born in 1887 and died of influenza in 1918 at Camp Devens in Ayers, Massachusettes. He was an alumnus of Trinity College and Harvard Law school. He was married to Emily Brace Collins for two years before he died and the couple had one child, Jane Hamersley Wright. The child in the photograph is not Jane Hamersley Wright, since she was only one year old when her father died. (Ruocco, 03/24/12)
