001543256 520__ $$aV. C. Duclos and wife with group, sitting next to some sort of mechanical device. Duclos is known to have been involved with, as an officer or a trustee, the Posey County Agricultural Society in 1872, and to hold a patent (no. 84,097) on a plow as reported by the Commissioner of Patents in 1869. The following piece of information may or may not relate to this photograph:""Marie Duclos was born in France and at some unknown date married Joseph Fretageot. She met William Maclure in Paris in 1819, not long after he had become President of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Madame Fretageot moved to Philadelphia in 1821, where she established a school and, like Maclure, became interested in Robert Owen's principles for social reform. In 1826 both Maclure and Madame Fretageot moved to New Harmony to join in Robert Owen's experimental community. For reasons of health, Maclure resided there only a short time, but Madame Fretageot remained and managed his continuing financial support of science and education in New Harmony?against great odds. In February, 1833 she joined Maclure in Mexico City, and that August, she died there." (https://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/bstud/fret.html) The Marie described here is thought to be an aunt to this man. No further information could be found, so anything other than the uniqueness of the name in New Harmony is but educated speculation.
