My family from the Southwick years
Here are some photos of my family from the Southwick years. I have many photos of my family's life throughout
the 1920's in Napanoch. The painting of our house , a copy of which I donated to the Elk's Club a few years
ago and a few other photos. It was not painted by my grandmother Elizabeth Shoumatoff, the famous portrait
painter but by her brother, my uncle Andrey Avinoff who made numerous pastels of Napanoch some of which I
own. He also designed advertisements for Frank Seaman of Yama Farms. We were given the Southwick house
at a low rent by Mr.Seaman and his wife Olive. We were frequent visitors and guests at Yama Farms.The picture
of my aunt Zoric Ward the little blond girl and my father, little boy with cropped hair, was taken by a column on the
porch of our home, previously called Southwick, and the shots of my grandmother Alexandra Panaev Avinoff, her
daughter Elizabeth Shoumatoff, and my father Nicholas Shoumatoff are taken on the Southwick lawn. It was one
of the happiest periods for our family and my father often took me there after the war as a little boy and later, as
he missed it sincerely. Mrs. Terwilliger publisher of "Napanoch, Land Overflowed By Water" interviewed both my
father and me. Her notes about this interview may be in the Ellenville Public Library. My aunt Zoric, Aunt Elizabeth,
and father Nicholas all attended Napanoch Elementary School.
