It was painted by Weatherby the famous itinerant painter known throughout New England. Israel Sacks, an antique dealer in NYC, came to our home in Providence, RI one snowy evening in 1955 and begged my husband to sell him this painting. George Sears had these paintings restored in San Francisco by two sisters who are famous for their work. Donated his copy of May's work to the Jacob Sears Memorial Library.
Birth place is Excelsior Springs.
