Leander Dorman

Leander Dorman with a bushy white beard is seated on the left; the younger man on the right is not identified. One of 2 photos. Written on the back of one: "Louis, Major's last work." Probably sent to Leander's grandson Louis Dorman Jr. in Fresno, California. On the back of the other: "Grandfather Dorman (driving "Major") (probably 1899)" Parentheses in original. From George Dorman collection.

Leander Dorman

Leander Dorman standing at the corner of his house.

Leander Dorman

His daughter Mabel Dorman Brett described her father as "tall, bald head, iron gray hair and beard, bright blue eyes, fair skin. Many times singing and humming as he worked. Sometimes feeling blue because of dull business." She must have been thinking of him at this period.

Leander Dorman

Leander Dorman 1825-1909 was a wheelwright and carriage maker, and prospered with a small factory in Buckfield, according to George R. Dorman. His business was hurt when the Studebaker brothers of Indiana got a subcontract to supply the Union Army in 1862 on a large scale. This image was a cabinet card copy of a tintype taken in the 1860s. Copy given to me by George R. Dorman early 1980s.

Leander Dorman and son Louis Benjamin

Leander Dorman 1825-1909 son of Benjamin Dorman and Hannah Davis, with son Louis Benjamin Dorman who was born in Feb 1866, so this tintype was probably taken in 1867. He and his wife Mary Louisa Hawkes had the one son and six daughters. Copy given me by George R. Dorman, son of the child pictured here.

Louis B. Dorman 1866-1948, I think taken 13 May 1905 when he married Mrs. Nellie E. Green. The marriage was stressful and his children couldn't stand their stepmother. George Dorman later wrote a long summary of what it was like living with her, too long to include here. Let's just say the review was unfavorable.
