These photos show Abram and Jesse (Pierce) Blodgett in the 1890's.

Abram was commonly known as "A.J." or "Abe". He was originally named Joseph Abram,
but reversed the names early on in life, and used the new order consistently thereafter.
Abe was a farmer his entire life, maintaining their farm on West Main Street, on the outskirts
of Fredonia, well into his later years.

This shows Abram and Jesse's house as it looked in 1938, the year that Jesse died.

Jesse was the youngest daughter of Enos Allen and Evalina (Landas) Pierce.

Jesse and Abe were married at Abe's brother, Silas's house on Seymour Street in Fredonia.
Silas was by this time already married to Jesse's sister, Clara. This was actually a double wedding,
as Jesse's brother Luther Leroy married his first wife (Maude C. Relnolds), at the same time.
Luther Leroy would later marry Minnie Blodgett (Abe and Silas's sister). This series of marriages
is the source of the common family history of the Blodgett's and Pierce's.
