ALBION – In this picture taken around 1920 we see Weston Weatherbee’s homemade telescope.
The photo was taken behind his house on Ingersoll Street in Albion. Shown here are, from left: Wilbur Phillips, John Gilmore and Weston Weatherbee, whose special interest was comets.
Weatherbee served as Orleans County sheriff from 1905-06.
