Batchelder
 

A. Batchelder & Son Early American Prescott School Double Bass
Augustus Batchelder was the son of Dr. Amos Batchelder, the uncle of Harry Atwood's wife (Carrie Stickney) and the uncle of Phil Currier's grandmother (Serena Stickney).  He grew up in the colonial at the intersection of Tenney and Nashua Road.  I assume the instruments were made in the barn attached to the house.  I am sure I have more information in my Batchelder and Stickney files.  The Sherburne's were also manufacturing musical instruments in this period.  Unfortunately, May gave away a beautiful bass to EG's cousin in Hollis.  I have been trying to get for the Historical Society.
