Description
This photograph shows Ward Melville's mother, Jennie Melville, with exhibit labels providing biographic information and background on Jennie Melville's local philanthropic efforts. Jennie is credited with coining the phrase "Three Village" to describe Old Field, Setauket, and Stony Brook villages because she felt they were so similar. The label with this image also explains how the Melville Family went from Brooklyn to Stony Brook. A date is estimated based on the subject's attire, appearance, and lifespan.
