Kent-M ahaffy Image Galleries

These photos are from a collection acquired by the Historical Society in 2018. It contained hundreds of early East Wallingford documents and records going back to the late 1700s. Added in the early 20C were glass plate photo negatives and ephemera belonging to Kent siblings, Wyatt, Duane, and Drusilla, who came to Rutland and Proctor from East Wallingford. When Duane Kent’s daughter, Virginia Kent Wicks, passed away in 1991, all the boxes of family papers were left in the attic of her home in Teaneck, N.J. The new owners contacted the Rutland Historical Society and in 2018 the contents were retrieved. The early East Wallingford papers were turned over to the Wallingford Historical Society. Rutland papers and the negatives from the Proctor photographer, Dick M ahaffy, were kept by the Rutland Historical Society. The over 1000 negatives were scanned and the best of the resulting images are in the Kent-M ahaffy Images Galleries as follows:

Part | - The Kent and M ahaffy Families and Family Fun

Part Il - In and Around Proctor

Part Ill - Proctor Boy Scouts and YM CA (later Sutherland Club) Part IV - Vermont Marble Company

Part V - Family Travel

David Richard M ahaffy, better known as Dick M ahaffy, held several positions in Proctor, starting with General Secretary of the YMCA (and later Sutherland Club), Boy Scouts Leader, Auditor, and later Road, Cemetery and Tree Commissioner positions. Because of his photography interest and skill he took many photos over the years, some of which may have appeared in various publications. The original negatives ended up in the family collection kept by Virginia Kent Wicks. Although M ahaffy was the photographer and owner of the negatives, he appears in many of the photos, so someone else is also operating the camera. In addition to the images he captured with the camera M ahaffy appeared to take pictures of older photos as well as pages from books or documents - sort of an old fashioned scanning method. You will see some of these in the galleries.

Part Ill - Proctor Boy Scouts and YM CA (later Sutherland Club)

This part is really the centerpiece of Dick M ahaffy’s early years in Proctor with dozens of photographs of Boys Scout activities and many of the Proctor YM CA facilities and activities.
