Derby Public Library celebrates birthday of namesake, kicks off summer reading

Harcourt Wood

Turnback Tuesday wishes a Happy Birthday to our Library’s namesake, Harcourt Wood.

Holton Harcourt Wood was born June 19, 1885 to Col. H. Holton and Alice Grout Wood.

Due to an illness, Harcourt passed away at the young age of 11. The Woods, grieving the loss of their young son, graciously decided to donate a Library to the City of Derby in their son's honor.

The Library was dedicated Dec. 27, 1902 and opened to the public on Feb. 13, 1903.

Please join the Library this Saturday, June 22, for the kickoff celebration of our Summer Reading program, and enjoy a cupcake in celebration of Harcourt’s birthday.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.

Sharing FB memory: 'Turnback Tuesday' from this date in 2018

Turnback Tuesday is checking out the Sanford family rambling structure home, built in 1836 on the corner of 4th and Caroline Streets in Derby. 

This photo was taken circa 1962. Note the great cars parked in front. 

The white car on the left is a 1958 Mercury, in the center is a 1953 Buick and on the right is an early 1960s Dodge or Plymouth.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for always sharing interesting local history!

*In an effort to keep my beloved husband Ralph's memory alive, I'm sharing his comment on this post:  

"As a six-decade long fan of old Detroit iron, next to the house is a 1959 Mercury Monterey, in front left is a 1955 Buick Special (3 portholes in front fender) and a 1962 Dodge Dart. Love these cars! Great photo!"

Not trying to correct the years on the original post but simply keeping Ralph on my blog and Facebook pages!
