Hiland, Blanche & Robert Stone

Hiland, Blanche & Robert Stone
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: SHOES
(November 11 - November 16, 2025)
Proud parents of a scowling boy sitting on, presumably, their front porch step and showcasing all their shoes in a row.
From the collection of a library patron who allowed me to scan a box of his family photos and postcards, nearly all of them from Vermont.
Cropped to show details; the original is below.

Hiland - that's a name I haven't heard before, so I had to look it up. "The name Hiland is derived from Old English, which often incorporates natural elements in its meanings and word structures." One seems to see it more often as a surname. Cool. I wonder if it's the father or son's name!

What a gift for them to let you scan their images.

Thanks, Laura! I am always interested in names - and like you, had never heard the name Hiland before. Hadn’t thought of it as “high land”!
The man who gave me these to scan has passed away now, but he had the most amazing personal collection of things I’ve ever seen. (A huge room full of vacuum cleaners dating from the beginning of their existence, for example.)
He owned an old barn and many, many outbuildings that were incredibly full - but set up like a series of wonderfully set up museums.
He was an amazing character.
