310) Portrait of Bertha Ullmann. -
March 21, 2007
Ted Bachman has donated to the Barkhamsted Historical Society a high quality photographic
copy of a pastel portrait of Bertha Ullmann. The original work was done by
artist Joanne Bachman of Pleasant Valley. Bertha was a member of the Ullmann
family that owned and operated the farm at what is now the main area of People's
Forest. Her childhood was spent in the house that we now call Squire's Tavern.
Born in 1906, Bertha was a long time Barkhamsted resident and daughter of Oswald
and Ora Ullmann. The portrait has been placed in the front kitchen of the
Squire's Tavern. Bertha has come home.
