InscribedOn verso, lower right, in pencil, accession numberNotesSubject 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 subject of this photograph may not be Bill Hamersley, since Hamersley wore eyeglassses and did not have a beard; this man has a beard and no eyeglasses. (Ruocco, 03/24/12)Subject Terms
