Lt. Lawrence Moloney, Jr.; Lawrence Moloney Sr.; Cpl. James E. Moloney, Paul J. Moloney. Taken before the two soldiers were sent overseas. This was the final visit home for Lawrence T. Moloney Jr. who was killed in December, 1944 at the Battle of the Bulge. Paul, who was a senior at St. Mary's High School, became a Brookline police officer when he returned from the war.

Lawrence Moloney graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1937, attended Suffolk University and Georgetown Law School. Despite the fact that he held a civil service job in Washington DC, which precluded him from the military draft, he enlisted in the Army in 1943. He became an officer (Lieutenant) and was eventually deployed overseas with the 128th infantry division in the fall of 1944. He was killed in action December 20, 1944, at Elsenbourne Ridge, Belgium, in the Battle of the Bulge. His body was initially interred by the military in the Field of Flanders, Belgium, but was finally flown back to the US in 1947 and returned to Brookline, where he was buried in a military service at Holyhood Cemetery in Chestnut Hill. Lt. Lawrence T. Moloney Square at the intersection of Cypress and Walnut Sts. is named in his honor.

Jonathan Lambert Dexter worked for many years as a partner at Sands, Furber & Co., a large wholesale fruit and produce dealer in Faneuil Hall Market, Boston. His wife, Mary L. Seaverns, was the sister of Henry Seaverns of H. G. Seaverns & Co., also a wholesale fruit dealer in Faneuil Hall Market. They married in 1875 and moved in with her widowed stepmother, Lucy S. Seaverns, whose house was on Harvard St. just north of the Coolidge & Brother store. Lucy Seaverns died at the end of 1885 and the Dexters moved into their new house at 390 Harvard St., two blocks away between Williams St. and Fuller St. Mary Dexter died in 1901 and Jonathan Dexter remained in the house until his death in 1926.

Shown in the photo are Lucy Amelia Dexter (1876-1940), who married and lived for years on nearby Stetson St., and Frank Seaverns Dexter (1891-1959), who remained in the house along with his sister, Mary, until his death in 1959, both were unmarried. The house was then torn down and the property acquired by Congregation Kehillath Israel which was next door at 380 Harvard St.
