From Buckland Historical Society "digital project" 2010, picture of Bertha available on line at CWMARS Digital Treasures, abridged description used here with permission:
"Aunt Bertha," as she was known to most of her Upper Buckland neighbors, was born in Lunenburg, Mass. on 8 May 1867 to Albert and Harriet E. (Cook) Sanderson. Bertha married Edmund G. Wilder on 27 Nov 1901, son of Charles and Harriet E (Hartwell) Wilder. Edmund and Bertha made their home at the Wilder Homestead in Buckland.
After Edmund's death, Bertha's niece, Eleanor Clark, came to live with Bertha. Both women found they loved weaving cloth by hand on the old looms found at the Wilder Homestead. Together they started a group called, "The Buckland Weavers," who met regularly in two rooms in the Buckland Post Office building on Upper Street, which Miss Clark owned. Bertha and Eleanor gave lessons on setting up looms and designing patterns to weave into cloth.
