WILLIAM MALHERBE



  William Malherbe (1884 - 1955) was born in Senlis, France, and was an artist well known both in both the U.S. and in Europe. He was married to Freda Lipman, whose sister Fannie was the wife of Charles W. Hughes.  In the late 1940s and early 1950s he rented the Barrows house, the brick house across from present Thetford Academy, and did a good deal of painting.  His wife appears as a figure in some of the paintings, and he hired Louise Vaughan and Ruth Worcester to pose for him.
