Alfred Benoit (11 yrs old), New Bedford, Massachusetts, January 1912. Photo by Lewis Hine.

Alfred Beniot, 191 North St. Sweeper in Bennett Mill, in spinning room #2 has been there two months; seemed to be 11 yrs. old. Alfred recorded as 12 years old. Location: New Bedford, Massachusetts, January 1912, Lewis Hine.

Hine took four photographs of Alfred. I contacted a granddaughter, who lives near New Bedford. She knew nothing about the photos. I will be interviewing her and other members of the family. Alfred died in 1966.
