A physician who started in the practice of his physician father, Charles Wild; Brigadier-General in the Civil War who lost his left arm in the battle of South Mountain and who later commanded an African-American regiment; a swashbuckling figure in foreign escapades.

He grew up in the house at 209 Newton St, still standing. He graduated from Harvard University in 1891, got a degree from Harvard Law School, and joined the law firm of Hayes & Williams in Boston. He later became a judge in Boston’s juvenile court system. He died of pneumonia one day before his 46th birthday and is buried in the Walnut Street Cemetery. Both he and his only sibling remained single, living with their widowed mother, and remaining in the Newton Street house for the rest of their lives, just as their mother had done with her parents.

She was the only child of Willard Amherst Humphrey and Harriet Curtis who lived at 209 Newton St., a house that is still standing. She graduated from the Oread Institute in 1854; married James Baker, a Boston ship chandler, in her home in 1859; and raised two children there. She raised her sons in the Newton St. house while living with her parents and both sons, who remained single, also lived in the same house their entire lives.

William Dean Philbrick (1834-1902) was the younger son of well-known Brookline abolitionist Samuel Philbrick whose house still stands at 182 Walnut St. The photo is for his graduation from Harvard College. He attended the early high school at the top of Walnut Hill and is mentioned in the diary of classmate Adeline Faxon when he walked to her house on Linden St. and asked her to go skating.

The Lymans lived in a mansion at the end of a long driveway at 105 Heath St. Cora, their daughter, died at age eleven while overseas in The Hague. She had been adored by the Codman children who lived nearby and when the Codmans' new baby sister arrived a year after Cora’s death, they asked that she be named after Cora.
