Spring Fling 2026 is in the books! Teacher Ryan Sanborn and his students did an amazing job cleaning up the grounds and interior at the Quincy Historical Museum this morning. So many hands make the task easier and faster, in less than 2 hours, the job was done. Thanks also to Historical Society members Linda Burke, Judy Dobson and Susan Bercaw for keeping everyone on task. Karen Hargreave, Quincy Historical Society President.

It was painted on pressed wood 22x 33 inches which was used for paneling back then. The artist was E. C. Bray. Per Bray’s obituary, he died in 1943, age 53 & was an artist. Ancestry records say he lived at 10 Arnold st with his parents & occupation was painter of houses & barns. He never married, served in the army in 1918-19, & was a member of the Union Church & was treasurer of the Union Sunday school for 20 years.
