Yes I believe this is my dear uncle Martin E M Somero, son of Frederick and Arline Somero, not to be confused with the equally dear Martin E Somero, a cousin whom we all called “Nick’s Martin,” as he was the son of Nicholas and Olga Somero.

Both great Americans. Francis was a neighbor and friend in Bank village. He was a guitar maker and a farmer, working with his brother Ernie who had 2 farms in Highbridge.

I remember a Martin Somero who installed our electric line in Bank village.

I remember both Francis and Martin to be active members of the New Ipswich American Legion, with my dad.
