Fred Greenwood married Agnes (maiden name undetermined) about 1889.
All of their seven known children would be born in Massachusetts (probably Winchendon), the first born in 1891. Mildred was
the fifth. In the 1900 census, the family was living on Baldwinville Road in Winchendon, where Fred was working as a teamster
for a saw mill. In 1910, they lived at 230 Maple Street. Fred had the same occupation. Mildred married Wilfred Raymond Roy on September 2, 1918, oddly one day short of exactly seven years since Hine took
her picture. Wilfred had come to the United States from Canada in 1908. In 1920, they lived with Mildred's sister Eva, and
her husband Alfonse, at 411 Maple Street. Both Wilfred and Mildred worked at the Springs Mill, he a carder, she a speeder.
In 1930, they had two children, Lorraine and Gloria, and lived at 138 Spruce Street, about two blocks from the Catholic church.
Wilfred was now working at Alaska Freezer Company, a local factory that made ice cream freezers. Mildred was a housewife.
They had two
sons, Donald, who was born in 1933, and Raymond, who died in 1927 at the age of three. In 1941, Mildred faced another serious
loss. Husband Wilfred died from injuries suffered in a fall while crossing the railroad tracks on his way home from work.
He was only 41 years old.
