The 1826 Willey Slide Sad to say, but the Willey Slide, more than any other single event, played a large part in bringing fame, and tourists, to the White Mountain area, MARCH 2025: A RARE FIND: We recently acquired a pamphlet telling the story of the Willey family disaster from the Clermont Historical Society in Florida . They found it in their collection, contacted the Bartlett Town Hall Selectmen’s office who contacted Phil Franklin of the Bartlett Historical Society and he contacted the Florida folks. We are very grateful that our counterparts in Clermont, Florida sought us out and sent this historically important document to BHS.. Anyway, it is a narrative written by Edward Melcher and published in 1880, when he was 83. Melcher was one of the twelve men who made their way to the Willey family site and recovered their bodies. This is the only first-hand account we have seen . In it, he adds another story of the Ebenezer Stillings family who were in the same flood from the storm that killed the Willey’s plus he adds some information from Mrs. Ethan Crawford’s book, “Guide and Historical Relics of the White Mountains. ” which tells of the tales of her husband Ethan Allen Crawford.

This is Mount Willard. The vast chasm glowed with the gorgeous colors of the foliage, even when a passing cloud obscured the sun. These general observations made, we cast our eyes down into the vale reposing at our feet. We had chosen for our point of view that to which Abel Crawford conducted Sir Charles Lyell in 1845. The scientist has made the avalanche bear witness to the glacier, precisely as one criminal is made to convict another under our laws. Five hundred feet below us was a little clearing, containing a hamlet of two or three houses. From this hamlet to the storm-crushed crags glistening on the summit of Mount Willey the track of an old avalanche was still distinguishable, though the birches and alders rooted among the debris threatened to obliterate it at no distant day. We descended by this still plain path to the houses at the foot of the mountain. One and the other are associated with the most tragic event connected with the history of the great Notch. We found two houses, a larger and smaller, fronting the road, neither of which merits a description; although evidence that it was visited by multitudes of curious pilgrims abounded on the walls of the unoccupied building. Since quite early in the century, this house was kept as an inn; and for a long time it was the only stopping-place between Abel Crawford’s below and Captain Rosebrook’s above—a distance of thirteen miles. Its situation, at the entrance of the great Notch, was advantageous to the public and to the landlord, but attended with a danger which seems not to have been sufficiently regarded, if indeed it caused successive inmates particular concern. This fatal security had a lamentable sequel. MOUNT WILLARD FROM WILLEY BROOK. In 1826 this house was occupied by Samuel Willey, his wife, five children, and two hired men. During the summer a drought of unusual severity dried the streams, and parched the thin soil of the neighboring mountains. On the evening of the 26th of June 1826, the family heard a heavy, rumbling noise, apparently proceeding from the mountain behind them. In terror and amazement they ran out of the house. They saw the mountain in motion. They saw an immense mass of earth and rock detach itself and move toward the valley, at first slowly, then with gathered and irresistible momentum. Rocks, trees, earth, were swooping down upon them from the heights in three destroying streams. The spectators stood rooted to the spot. Before they could recover their presence of mind the avalanche was upon them. One torrent crossed the road only ten rods from the house; another a little distance beyond; while the third and largest portion took a different direction. With great labor a way was made over the mass of rubbish for the road. The avalanche had shivered the largest trees, and borne rocks weighing many tons almost to the door of the lonely habitation. This awful warning passed unheeded. On the 28th of August 1826 , at dusk, a storm burst upon the mountains, and raged with indescribable fury throughout the night. The rain fell in sheets. Innumerable torrents suddenly broke forth on all sides, deluging the narrow valley, and bearing with them forests that had covered the mountains for ages. The swollen and turbid Saco rose over its banks, flooding the Intervales, and spreading destruction in its course. Two days afterward a traveler succeeded in forcing his way through the Notch. He found the Willey House standing uninjured in the midst of woeful desolation. A second avalanche, descended from Mount Willey during the storm, had buried the little vale beneath its ruins. The traveler, affrighted by the scene around him, pushed open the door. As he did so, a half-famished dog, sole inmate of the house, disputed his entrance with a mournful howl. He entered. The interior was silent and deserted. A candle burnt to the socket, the clothing of the inmates lying by their bedsides, testified to the haste with which this devoted family had fled. The death-like hush pervading the lonely cabin—these evidences of the horrible and untimely fate of the family—the appalling scene of wreck all around, froze the solitary intruder’s blood. In terror he, too, fled from the doomed dwelling. On arriving at Bartlett , the traveler reported what he had seen. Assistance was dispatched to the scene of disaster. The rescuers came too late to render aid to the living, but they found, and buried on the spot, the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Willey, and the two hired men. The remaining children were never found. It was easily conjectured that the terrified family, alive at last to the appalling danger that menaced them, and feeling the solid earth tremble in the throes of the mountain, sought safety in flight. They only rushed to their doom. The discovery of the bodies showed but too plainly the manner of their death. They had been instantly swallowed up by the avalanche, which, in the inexplicable order of things visible in great calamities, divided behind the house, leaving the frail structure unharmed, while its inmates were hurried into eternity. For some time after the disaster a curse seemed to rest upon the old Notch House. No one would occupy it. Travelers shunned it. It remained untenanted, though open to all who might be driven to seek its inhospitable shelter, until the deep impression of horror which the fate of the Willey family inspired had, in a measure, effaced itself. The effects of the cataclysm were everywhere. For twenty-one miles, almost its entire length, the turnpike was demolished. Twenty-one of the twenty-three bridges were swept away. In some places the meadows were buried to the depth of several feet beneath sand, earth, and rocks; in others, heaps of great trees, which the torrent had torn up by the roots, barricaded the route. The mountains presented a ghastly spectacle. One single night sufficed to obliterate the work of centuries, to strip their summits bare of verdure, and to leave them with shreds of forest and patches of shrubbery hanging to their stark and naked sides. Thus their whole aspect was altered to an extent hardly to be realized to-day, though remarked with mingled wonder and dread long after the period of the convulsion. From the house our eyes naturally wandered to the mountain, where quarry men were pecking at its side like yellow-hammers at a dead sycamore. All at once a tremendous explosion was heard, and a stream of loosened earth and bowlders came rattling down the mountain. So unexpected was the sound, so startling its multiplied echo, it seemed as if the mountain had uttered a roar of rage and pain, which was taken up and repeated by the other mountains until the uproar became deafening. When the reverberation died away in the distance, we again heard the metallic click of the miners’ hammers chipping away at the gaunt ribs of Mount Willey. How does it happen that this catastrophe is still able to awaken the liveliest interest for the fate of the Willey family? Why is it that the oft-repeated tale seems ever new in the ears of sympathetic listeners? Our age is crowded with horrors, to which this seems trifling indeed. May we not attribute it to the influence which the actual scene exerts on the imagination? One must stand on the spot to comprehend ; must feel the mysterious terror to which all who come within the influence of the gorge submit. Here the annihilation of a family is but the legitimate expression of that feeling. It seems altogether natural to the place. The ravine might well be the sepulchre of a million human beings, instead of the grave of a single obscure family.

FRANKLIN SQUARE - 1882 FIRST HOUSE IN THE NOTCH. The Willey House is the oldest building erected in the Notch. This was built in the year 1793, by a Mr. Davis, to accommodate the unfortunate storm-bound traveler , who, from curiosity, or on business, might dare the dangers of this wild pass. Then a little grassy meadow stretched along the bank of the Saco; tall rock-maples, and a towering mountain barrier, rose in the background from this little home of the pilgrim. How like a cool shadow of a great rock was this retreat among the frowning crags ! But the thundering avalanche came, and, since August 28th, 1826, the spirit of desolation has brooded over that fated spot. How lonely there is the dirge of the high wind, as it sweeps down that solitary chasm; and the wail of the sunset breeze, with the loud requiem of the on-rushing hurricane, is most mournful, for human bones are there palled in an avalanche's ruins.'

It is a parcel of land 3.8 acres (1.5 ha) in size, most of which is forested in mixed hardwoods. At the southern end is a single-story wood-frame building with a gabled roof, and a descriptive plaque set in a stone. A short way north of this are a grouping of small shingled gable-roofed cabins, set around a small clearing in the woods. Chief Joseph Laurent , an Abenaki leader from Odanak (St. Francis, Quebec ), came to the area in 1884, and established a seasonal camp on the site, which was then owned by a local hotel. Laurent and other Abenaki produced baskets and other handicrafts as a tourist attraction for the hotel guests, and sold them the wares they produced. The Abenaki were descended from the area's original Native American population, who were driven from the area during the colonial period. The shop was originally a service shed built by the Maine Central Railroad ; it was purchased by Laurent around 1900. Laurent is also credited with construction of the cottages in which the Abenaki lived. The business was continued by Laurent's son Stephen into the late 20th century.[3] Since 1985, the property has been owned by the town, which now operates it as a small park with interpretive signage describing its history.

The owners respected and kept much of the original aspects of the building! Limmer's has been located in Intervale since the early 1950s. At the request of the Bartlett Historical Society, the Limmer family graciously agreed to open their historic property on Route 16A, Intervale for a tour on Saturday, July 7, 2007. "Limmer's" are known world-wide as master boot makers. Their manufacturing business, now being operated by the third generation. The building which houses their business was at one time the stables for the Fairview. LIMMER In the 1930s the barn that was previously part of the Fairview Inn and Farm was converted to a dance hall, known as Intervale Playgrounds and later as Harmony Acres. The dance hall floor and stage still exist. Many in Bartlett still recall those Saturday night dances. Marianne Limmer, who moved first to Massachusetts as a young bride from Germany, as had the Limmer family. She told of the dance hall's dilapidated condition when they moved to Intervale, which was transformed into the thriving boot company . PLAYGROUNDS Cyrus Tasker built the original Fairview Cottage in 1854 to accommodate travelers, but it was destroyed by fire. Another version was built and it was also destroyed by fire. The Tasker family moved into a cottage on their property. They later enlarged that building and it was known as Mountain Vale Inn. The land has accommodated several buildings throughout the years; the property has been home to a country store, a gift shop, a gas station and a cabin court. throughout its history the carriage house, grain room, stable and cattle barn survived. A portion of this property is the converted tabernacle which was rescued by Tasker from Intervale Park, a religious community established at the base of Bartlett Mountain, across the street from his establishment.

The Bloodgood Farm: The Eastern Slope of the White Mountains was still a vast, untamed wilderness when the original farmhouse was built on this site by Samuel Bloodgood, in 1809. The Bloodgood farm was famous for its hospitality from the first and remained so during Samuel’s life and those of his sons and grandsons. Among the third generation, Lyle Bloodgood had been a handsome, young and talented actor. Returning in later life after extensive travels, he often regaled his guests with tales of the state. His most exciting story was an eye-witness account of Lincoln’s assassination. He had been one of the performers at Ford’s theater in Washington on that fatal night. It was some years before this, in the late 1830s, that the farm had in fact become an inn, the owners setting a sign at the roadside to invite the traveling public to their hearth and board. ParkIntervale INTERVALE PARK COLONY, was established toward the end of the 19th century by Dr. Charles Cullis of Boston. It was directly across the street from the Fairview. This group of religious people had their summer homes on the crest and slopes of a foothill of Bartlett Mountain. Prayer meetings were held daily and one day in seven was set aside for prayers for the sick. The summer was spent in devotional exercises and in the glorification of God. The group held its first convention in August of 1884. As the colony grew they added a dining hall, tabernacle and several other buildings. Dr Cullis' residence was destroyed by "and incendiary fire October 23, 1889 and the dining hall set on fire". We might assume this language means an arsonist set the fires. When Dr. Cullis died in 1892 the group lost momentum and was abandoned. The buildings fell into disrepair but eventually Cyrus Tasker of the Fairview rescued the tabernacle and moved it across the street to use as a carriage house. It was still standing in 1994 when my source book was published. SOURCE: "The Latchstring Was Always Out - Aileen Carroll - 1984 "Bartlett New Hampshire, In The Valley of the Saco - Aileen Carroll - 1990 Cullis In 1870 Charles Cullis acted in two areas. First God began speaking to him about moving from the middle of Boston to an outlying rural area. TB treatments were changing after a famous study showed that improved nutrition and environment made a significant difference in recovery rates. He also began to be stirred about praying for physical healing. He asked a woman who was in one of his consumptive homes, Lucy Drake (later Osborn) , whether he could pray for her. She had large tumor that kept her bedridden. She was healed and walked three miles that day. Cullis published a book of hymns title "Faith Hymns" in 1870. In 1871 Cullis added a monthly children's publication called "Loving Words." In the summer of 1873 Cullis and his wife traveled to Europe, with William and Mary Boardman, to visit faith homes they had heard of, including the one started by Dorothea Trudel. He felt challenged to begin to pray for the sick. He showed such a gifting in this area that his ministry swelled with people wanting to know more. Cullis, unlike some in the healing ministry, did not oppose medical help and still continued his practice during those years. In fact, the money he made from his medical practice was often expended on the poor in the homes, leaving his own family with the barest necessities. In 1874 William Boardman wrote a book based on Cullis' journal and "Consumptive Homes Reports" titled "Faith Works" which gave Cullis national and international prominence. In 1875 Cullis returned the favor and wrote a book about the Boardmans called "Work for Jesus: the Experience and Teachings of Mr. and Mrs. Boardman." In 1874 Cullis also wrote a book about the love of Christ called "The King of Love." In 1879 Cullis published "Faith Cures, or Answers to Prayer in the Healing of the Sick." Carrie Judd (later Montgomery) read about Cullis' work and requested prayer for her healing. Cullis became a controversial figure in Boston over "Faith Cure", and many denominations became antagonistic, due to cessationist theology. However, he began to receive attention from all over the world, as he taught and showed that God still healed and did miracles. In 1881 Cullis began to hold "faith-cure" meetings on a regular basis and in 1882 a "faith-cure" home was built, based on Dorothea Trudel's model. His Willard Tract Repository produced his own works on faith healing, and many from other healers. In 1881 he published a follow up to his earlier "Answers" titled "More Faith Cures: or Answers to Prayer in the Healing of the Sick." Then in 1885 he published "Other Faith Cures; or Answers to Prayer in the Healing of the Sick." He also published the book "Dorothea Trudel, or, The Prayer of Faith." which had his name on it as an author, but was a translation from a German work by an unidentified author. In the mid-1880’s Cullis began holding "Faith Conventions" in Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire. In fact A. B. Simpson attended one of these meetings in Old Orchard Beach, Maine and had a major healing experience. R. Kelso Carter was healed when Cullis prayed for him and became a friend and supporter. Cullis purchased land in Intervale Park, New Hampshire so he could hold conventions of his own that did not have to work around other ministries' schedules. In 1883 Cullis wrote a book to promote his new convention site called "Intervale Park." He brought in guest speakers, who had healing ministries, from all over the US and Europe. The conventions attracted a lot of media coverage, both positive and negative. The conventions would end with a general healing service led by Dr. Cullis, who prayed over hundreds people, in healing lines. Through Cullis' direct influence, by the late 1880's, there were over 25 "faith homes" in the US being run by various ministries. The majority of these were associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance which Cullis' teaching had so strongly impacted. Another hymnal was produced called "Songs of Victory" in 1889, probably in support of his conventions. Finally in 1892 a series of sermons were published called "Tuesday Afternoon Talks". By any standard the work that Cullis was handling was enormous. From 1864 to the 1890s the Consumptive Home had taken care of 2000 critically ill patients, the vast majority of which had been brought to a saving knowledge of Christ. He was constantly meeting with supporters, writing, teaching, publishing, visiting the poor, handing out tracts, and holding summer conventions. His life of prayer was central to his vision and ministry. Dr. Charles Cullis collapsed and died on April 18, 1892 at the age of 59. The Consumptive's Home continued to operate for another 25 years, eventually handling over 4000 patients. Still Cullis' lasting impact was his teaching on having faith in God, and the revelation that we could believe God for our salvation, provision, and healing.

How Places Around Bartlett Got Their Names History, tragedy, and whimsy determined what we call these White Mountain peaks: REFERENCE: By Mark Bushnell AMC Outdoors, November/December 2011 Note: The editor originally posted a link to the original article. That link has since disappeared. The news shocked Nancy Barton: Her fiance had left. She decided to follow him, despite the biting cold on that December day in 1778. Nancy set out on foot from the estate of Col. Joseph Whipple in Dartmouth (since renamed Jefferson), N.H., where she and her fiancé, Jim Swindell, worked. She intended to make the more-than-100-mile trek to Portsmouth, where Jim had supposedly gone. Complete Story Below. One version of the story says Jim had taken Nancy's dowry and fled. A variant of the tale casts Col. Whipple as the villain, claiming he disapproved of the match and had sent his hired hand away. Whatever the reason for Jim's disappearance, Nancy's effort to find him was ill advised. She made it as far as what is now known as Crawford Notch. A search party is said to have found her seated beside a brook, head resting upon her hand and walking stick. Her clothes, which had gotten wet when she crossed the brook, were stiff with ice. She didn't stir as the searchers approached. Nancy Barton had frozen to death. It is small consolation, but Nancy's tragic demise earned her a measure of immortality. People began referring to a nearby mountain as Mount Nancy. The name stuck. A Harvard professor in the mid-1800s suggested changing the name to Mount Amorisgelu, a combination of two Latin words meaning "the frost of love." He thought it a more poetic way to commemorate Nancy Barton's fate. But that mouthful of a name never supplanted Mount Nancy. Over the years, "Mount Nancy" took the same path to acceptance as the names of most peaks in the White Mountains. It began as a locally known designation. The name gained some renown when it was printed in an early book, the travel writings of the Rev. Timothy Dwight, printed in 1823. Then it was accepted by the Appalachian Mountain Club's Committee on Nomenclature , which was created to standardize names and settle disputes. Lastly, it won approval from the U.S. Board of Geographic Names (USBGN ) , the nation's final arbiter on place names since 1890. Indian Terms: American Indians were of course the first to name the White Mountains. During the millennia before Europeans conquered the region, the local people bestowed names on significant landscape features. Most of those names, sadly, have been lost. The ones we still know are descriptive. Mount Waumbek,, for example, seemingly derives its name from the word "waumbekket-methna," meaning "snowing mountains" in some local Indian dialects, from "waumbek-methna," sometimes translated as "mountains with snowy foreheads," or from "waumbik," meaning "white rocks" in Algonquin. It is not unusual for the precise derivation to be ambiguous. For example, Mahoosuc Mountain's name might come from an Abenaki word meaning "home of hungry animals" or a Natick word for "pinnacle." Among the most debated origins is that of Mount Kearsarge —a name so popular that the White Mountains have two, one now known as Kearsarge North to reduce confusion. Kearsarge may come from an Algonquin word meaning "born of the hill that first shakes hands with the dawn," a long, lyrical sentiment for one word. Or perhaps it derives from an Abenaki word meaning simply "pointed mountain." Another theory holds that it owes its name to the contraction of the name of an early white settler, Hezekiah Sargent. Say it several times fast and you can almost hear it. Many of the surviving mountain names that sound like American Indian terms honor individual chiefs. But white settlers bestowed those names after the tribes of the White Mountains were overwhelmed by disease and warfare. In that sense, these names bear a more tragic legacy even than Mount Nancy. Among the Indians honored are Chocorua (who, after a dispute with settlers in the early 1700s, was either killed or committed suicide on the mountain that now bears his name), Kancamagus (who, after failing to make peace with the English, led a raid on the town of Dover in 1686, then fled to Canada), and Waternomee (who was killed during a massacre in 1712). The fad of naming mountains after past Indian leaders grew so popular that two White Mountains even honor chiefs from far-off tribes—Osceola, a Seminole who lived in the Everglades, and Tecumseh, a Shawnee who lived in Ohio. The Presidents: White settlers more typically named mountains after white leaders. That's what a group of seven men from the town of Lancaster, N.H., set out to do on July 31, 1820. They wanted to put some names on the map, perhaps knowing that once in print, a name was often picked up by later mapmakers and guidebook writers. So it was no coincidence that they brought along mapmaker Philip Carrigain, an important cartographer who would eventually get his own mountain. The naming party climbed Mount Washington, which was named for George Washington in 1784 for his military actions during the Revolution—he wasn't yet president. By the time the Lancaster men climbed the mountain, however, the former president was the sainted father of the country. They thought his peak deserved august company. That day they picked out appropriate prominences for the most prominent men of the day. With Carrigain's help, they honored John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe with mountains. But the naming party still had mountains it wanted to name, so it added one for Benjamin Franklin—this being 1820, they had run out of presidents. They also named a nearby pinnacle Mount Pleasant, having apparently run out of better ideas. More Presidents have since been added to the range. The USBGN supported a push to change the name of Mount Pleasant to Mount Eisenhower in 1970, shortly after the death of the former general and president. The Presidentials also include John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce, who got in because he was a New Hampshire native. (Some people still know the peak by its former name, Mount Clinton, after Dewitt Clinton, an important New York politician of the early 1800s.) In 2003, the New Hampshire legislature tried to add another president to the range, voting to change Mount Clay, named for 19th century statesman Henry Clay, to Mount Reagan. But the USBGN voted to keep the former name. In 2010, a peak in the Presidentials named simply Adams 4 was renamed Mount Abigail Adams to honor her life as wife and vital private counsel to John Adams. She was, of course, also the mother of John Quincy Adams. Other presidents—both great and not so great—have been honored with mountain names elsewhere in the Whites. They are: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield (who was honored shortly after—and presumably because of—his assassination), Grover Cleveland (he summered nearby), and Calvin Coolidge (perhaps because, as a native Vermonter, he was a New Englander). Some people might think Mount Jackson should be added to the list, but that summit is named not for Andrew, the sixth president, but for Charles Thomas Jackson, a New Hampshire state geologist who conducted research in the Presidentials. Local Heroes: Perhaps it is appropriate that many of the summits honor people of local rather than national renown. Among the locally prominent people celebrated are Thomas Starr King (a Unitarian minister and early proponent of tourism in the region, who wrote about the Whites in purple prose), Arnold Henri Guyot (a Princeton geology professor who had a mountain named after him by AMC to recognize his extensive research throughout the Appalachians), and Ezra Carter (a physician from Concord, N.H., who explored the mountains for medicinal herbs). Entire families whose lives were entwined with the mountains have also been honored. Mount Pickering got its name from a family that included Charles, a naturalist who climbed Mount Washington in 1826, and his nephews, Edward and William, both astronomers who shared their uncle's passion for mountains. Edward Pickering helped organize AMC and became its first president. For generations, the Weeks family was prominent in the Whites. One John W. Weeks was a member of the 1820 party that first named the Presidentials; a descendent of the same name was a congressman and Coolidge administration official who crafted the Weeks Act of 1911, which led to the creation of the White Mountain National Forest. Mount Weeks, previously known by the rather dull name Round Mountain, honors the family. Perhaps the most celebrated family is the Crawfords . Abel Crawford and his sons Tom and Ethan Allen Crawford were early innkeepers and helped open the region by cutting trails through the wilderness, including the bridle path up Mount Washington, still in use today as a hiking trail and considered the oldest continuously maintained footpath in the United States. Ethan's wife, Lucy, helped run the inn and published an important history of the White Mountains in 1846. Today the family name adorns several prominent geographical features, including Crawford Notch and Mount Crawford. Mount Tom is named for Tom Crawford. Other innkeepers have also been honored. Mount Hayes is named for Margaret Hayes, who ran the White Mountain Station House starting in 1851, while Mount Oscar is named for Oscar Barron, who managed the Fabyan House. At least one guest also had a summit named after him. Tom Crawford named Mount Willard as a tribute to climbing companion Joseph Willard. Crawford was being magnanimous. That mountain had previously been known as Mount Tom. More than 30 years later, a second Mount Tom, the one that remains today, was christened. F eatures and Events: But not all White Mountains were named after people. Some were named by referring to a distinctive characteristic of the peak. Thus we have such obvious name origins as Long Mountain, Table Mountain, Stairs Mountain, Mount Tripyramid, and even Old Speck, whose rock is speckled. Mining activity gave us Tin Mountain and Iron Mountain. Hurricane Mountain and Mount Mist are named for weather conditions, and Eagle, Wildcat, and Rattlesnake mountains for one-time inhabitants. If most people seemed to prefer stately names like Mount Washington, some of the mountains' namers preferred to bring a bit of whimsy to the task. So it was that we got names like Old Speck or, better yet, Goback Mountain, an apparent reference to what hikers decided to do when they saw its steepness. Or Tumbledown-Dick Mountain, which has puzzled mountain etymologists for generations. Some suggest the origin is clear: It was named when someone named Dick took a memorable fall. Others believe it comes from an Anglicization of an Indian name, the meaning of which we have lost. Perhaps the oddest name in the Whites, or at least the one memorializing the most trivial-seeming event, is Mount Mitten, which supposedly got its name after an early visitor lost his mitten while hiking there. But we can let that name stand. According to Lucy Crawford, that visitor was Timothy Nash, who lost the mitten in 1771 while climbing a tree to get a better view. Nash, who was tracking a moose that day, noticed a notch in the mountains. Perhaps he noticed the notch from the tree that claimed his mitten. Nash's discovery sparked interest. New Hampshire's governor promised a land grant if Nash could prove a horse could travel through the notch. Nash and a companion, Benjamin Sawyer, did just that. The notch became a vital route that opened the White Mountains to settlement and made trade easier between Maine and points west. The notch isn't named after Nash. That honor went to the Crawfords, who built and ran a hotel there, on the site of what is now AMC's Highland Center. And no White Mountain has been named for Nash, though he did get his land grant, and a mountain named after his missing mitten.

Partial text Quoted directly from Chapter 6 - Nomenclature: Men of culture have mourned for many years the absurd and meaningless originations and associations of the names of the White Mountains. Beginning with a misnomer in the title of the whole range, they descend through various grades of infelicity and awkwardness to the last names imposed in the summers of 1874 - 75. The confused jumble of titles of the main peaks suggests the society of the Federal City and the red-tape and maneuvering of politics and diplomacy, rather than the majesty of the natural altars of New England and the Franconian summits are not more fortunate. The minor mountains are for the most part named after the farmers who lived near them , or the hunters who frequented their forests. The names in themselves are usually ignoble, and it may be questioned whether the avocations of a mountain-farmer or a beaver trapper are sufficiently noble or so tend to produce high characters as to call for such honors as these Other peaks commemorate in their names certain marked physical productions or resemblances, and this is certainly a desireable mode of bestowing titles. But, the farmers who christened them were men of narrow horizons and starved imaginations, scarce knowing of the world's existence beyond their obscure valleys, and so we find scores of mountains bearing similar names, and often within sight of each another. Others were christened in memory of puerile incidents in the lives of unknown and little men, or of dull legends of recent origin. Some were named after popular landlords and railroad men; some after famous foreign peaks; and some have the titles of the towns in which they stand. Others bear resonant Indian names, the only natural outgrowth of the soil and the only fitting appellations for the higher peaks. After a brief and superficial study of maps, the Editor has selected the following series of names now applied to some of the mountains in and near this region, to show at once their poverty and the confusion resultant upon their frequent duplication. . The names of hunters and settlers are preserved on Mts Stinson, Carr, Webster's Slide, Glines, Tom, Crawford, Russell, Hatch, Hix, Bickford, Lyman, Eastman, Snow's, Royce, Carter, Hight, Morse, Orne, Ingalls, Smarts, Kinsman, Big and Little Coolidge, Cushman, Fisher, Morgan, Willey, Parker, Pickering, Sawyer, Gardner, and Hunt. Probably hundreds of names in Western Maine have similar origins. There are summits named for Bill Smith, Bill Merrill and Molly Ockett and Western Maine has an Aunt Hepsy Brown Mountain. Further north where the lumbermen abound there are mountains whose popular names are so vile as to be omitted from the maps. Other groups of names are Cow, Horse, Sheep, Bull, Wildcat, Caribou,Moose, Deer, Rattlesnake, Sable, Bear, Eagle, Iron, Tin, Ore, Pine, Spruce, Beech, Oak, Cedar, Cherry and Blueberry. Some early legend or simple incident connected with them gave rise to the names Resolution, Pilot, Mitten, Cuba, Sunday, Nancy. The following names are inexplicable; Puzzle, Silver Springs, Umpire, Goose Eye, Patience, Sloop (or Slope), Thorn, Young. The last nomenclature degradation is found in the various Hog Back Mountains and in the villainous names given to the fine peaks of the Ossipee Range, which are called the Black Snouts by the neighboring rustics. A fruitfull source of confusion is the frequent duplication of names on neighboring mountains. Sometimes the same mountain has a different name depending on from where it is viewed. Out of this blind maze of hackneyed and homely names must arise the significant nomenclature of the future. This renaming must by necessity be a slow process but it has already commenced well, and by the second centennial the entire nomenclature of our New England Highlands may be reformed.

Native American Place Names: The Native Americans of this region loved the land and were close observers of nature. They gave names to the mountains, rivers, streams, and other natural features and for the most part early European settlers kept them. Today, many places we love in New Hampshire bear the names first given to them by Native Americans. Here are just a few: Amonoosuc River ('manosek) – Western Abenaki for "fishing place." Amoskeag Falls (namaskik) – Western Abenaki for "at the fish land." Contoocook River (nikn tekw ok) – Abenaki for "to or from the head or first branch of the river." Grand Monadnock (minoria denak) – Abenaki for "the bare or smooth mountain." Kearsarge (g'wizawajo) – Western Abenaki for "rough mountain." Massabesic Lake (massa nbes ek) – Abenaki for "to the great pond." Merrimack River (mol dema) – Abenaki for "deep water or river." Mount Pisgah (pisga) – Abenaki for "dark." Nashua (niswa) – Abenaki for "two." Newichwannock River (n'wijonoanek) also known today as Salmon River – Abenaki for the "long rapids and falls." Piscataqua River (pesgatak was) – Abenaki for "the water looks dark." Pemigewasset River (pamijoassek) – Abenaki for "the river having its course through here." Saco (soko) is Abenaki for "towards the south" – (msoakwtegw) Western Abenaki for "dry wood river." Sunapee Lake (seninebi) – Abenaki for "rock or mountain water." Suncook River (seni kok) – Abenaki for "to the rocks." Umbagog Lake (w'mbagwog) – Abenaki for "to the clear water lake." Winichahanat (wiwnijoanek) also known as Dover – Abenaki for "the place where the water flows around it." Lake Winnipesaukee (wiwninbesaki) – Abenaki for "the lake between or around land or islands." Souhegan River (zawhigen) is Western Abenaki for "a coming out place." Note: The references for Abenaki place names are from the following publications: "Abenaki Indian Legends, Grammar, and Place Names" by Henry Lorne Masta, 1932.

Bartlett NH area history The Village Area of Bartlett Page 2 Fred and Grace Garland operated Garland's Tea Room , and later it was a restaurant and ice cream parlor know simply as "Garlands" . It also had a few cabins, some of which are still there today. This restaurant operated until the early 1970's and was destroyed by fire. It was located just west of today's Post Office. In the 1948 color picture below today's Post Office would be behind the Garlands Cabins sign. The Tea Room photo is 1935ish.

True to it's name, the store carried practically everything one could want in those days and even had an ice cream soda parlor and a barber shop. For quite a time he also sold gasoline out front. Franklin was the Town tax collector in those days and he operated that activity from the store as well. Franklin and his wife lived right across the street in the same house that his ancestors operated as an Inn in the mid 1800's. After Franklin's death the store was operated by Dottie Howard for a few years and then by David & Debby Phanauef, who renamed it to the Bear Notch Deli. David later sold the store to The Ryans. In January of 2009 the store was completely destroyed by fire caused by an electrical problem. This photo of the What Not Shop is from the mid 1950's.

That building is still standing and is located almost opposite the present day Villager Motel , It has been vacant for years. I recall watching Carroll Hayes butcher cattle in the barn there in the 1960's. Hellen, being an ambitious person also operated a restaurant, The Red Rooster, located on Main Street where Lydia Lansing now lives ( 2020) . The brown building (above) on Albany Avenue was a grocery store operated by the Gosselins, Joe and Myrtle and their two kids David and Sue. Mr Ryle ran a kindergarten upstairs. Mr. Wimpy Thurston Purchased the business from the Gosselins. Wimpy was one of the first real estate brokers in the area and by the mid 1950's he sold the store to Harold and Edith Jacobson and their son Arthur . Wimpy found real estate a better calling than storekeeper and he moved to North Conway and opened his office there at the Junction of Rte 16 and 302 next door to what was then The Yield House. The Jacobsons' were the last to operate a business here, which they continued well into the 1970's. After the Jacobson's sold the property it sat vacant for a time during which a zoning ordinance was enacted that made this area residential. A business no longer permitted, the building sat vacant until the Hodgkins family next door purchased it and the building was razed in the late 1990's. The land is still owned by the Hodgkins, who live next door. Next to the store is The Garland , an Inn built by Eben Garland . It also housed a drug store and jewelry store. It was sold to the Hodgkins family about 1920 for use as a private residence. It is still owned by the Hodgkins family.

Churchs 2 BartLumberCo Bartlett Lumber Company and Kearsarge Peg Mill complex about 1900 pegbasics FEB 12, 2016-BARTLETT — No one was injured but one of the world’s most unusual manufacturers and a major part of the town’s history was destroyed Friday afternoon when a fire leveled the Kearsarge Peg Company. Bartlett Fire Chief Pat Roberts, who said the fire was reported around 1:11 p.m. Friday by a custodian from the nearby Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, called the mill a total loss. Three people were inside the structure at the time of the fire and they managed to exit safely. Roberts said firefighters from between Tamworth and Jackson responded to the scene, adding that water and weather were both challenges. The first, he said, had to be drafted from the Saco River and then shuttled, while the second was down-right cold, with temperatures in the low double digits that froze firefighters and water alike. While the cause and origin of the fire remain under investigation, Roberts was clear that the fire is “absolutely not” suspicious. Gene Chandler, who chairs the Bartlett Board of Selectmen and is also a state representative, called the destruction of the mill “a terrible loss for the history of the Town of Bartlett,” recalling how the mill had at one time been one of the town’s largest employers and also a supplier of saw dust to farms, like the Chandler’s. Kearsarge Peg Co ., Inc. was a business located in Bartlett, NH that had been in continuous operation in this location for 121 years until it was destroyed by fire in February 2016. The company prospered through the years on its reputation for quality products and timely delivery. The original product (hardwood shoe pegs and hardwood tumbling media) is still manufactured in the facility, and in fact, Kearsarge was the only manufacturer of this product in North America. The principal business of the company at its inception was the manufacture of shoe pegs. Shoe pegs were long cross sectioned hardwood shapes with a point on one end, manufactured primarily from white, yellow and silver birch, although white maple and beech are occasionally employed as well. The Kearsarge Peg Co. manufactured approximately seventy-five different sizes of shoe pegs, which varied in size from 5/16 in. long by 1/18 in. wide to ¼ in. wide by 2.0 in. long . This product was used as a component of shoe manufacturing in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, and replaced shoe nails, as a means for insuring a lasting bond between the last and sole of the shoe. It was considered superior to metal nails, in that over time the wood peg would draw moisture from the ambient atmosphere and swell, forming a lock fit between these two components. Shoe manufacturing along with textiles was a major segment of the economy of New England at this time, and there were dozens of plants, which made this product in competition with Kearsarge. In its earlier years, Kearsarge exported heavily to the shoe industry in Norway, Germany, Australia and elsewhere. The use of pegs in shoe manufacturing came to an abrupt halt with the advent of the Second World War. (Exception: custom made climbing, skiing and cowboy boots). Not only did the company find that its export markets were now closed, but new developments in shoe manufacturing technology obviated the need for pegs to tie or lock the last and sole of shoes together. Lupoline, under the director of its founder Joseph Lupo of pioneered dry barrel finish or tumbling techniques in the early part of the twentieth century, with some patents dating as early as the 1920’s and 1930’s. He found that “shoe pegs” made an ideal mass finishing media for smoothing and polishing plastic parts in rotary barrel finish equipment. This technology was quickly adapted by major manufacturers such as Bausch & Lomb, Foster-Grant and the American Optical Co. and others to replace tedious manual finishing methods that involved buffing. These large manufacturers of eyeglass frame and sunglass frame components were soon utilizing hardwood pegs in bulk, by the truck load and even car load for abrasive finishing and polishing operations. This continues to be the primary use for hardwood pegs and other hardwood preform shapes that the company manufactures to this day. In the early 1980’s the company management decided that there was a need to become more involved on a technical level with the finishing industry. As a result the PEGCO Division was instituted as a marketing and technical arm to more aggressively market hardwood media for other applications. It soon became apparent that there was a need to make PEGCO a technical resource for the finishing industry. Its focus became providing technical solutions to difficult edge and surface finish problems by process development in its “process laboratory” and offering turn-key equipment and abrasive supply packages as the solutions to these problems. The company’s office and manufacturing facilities are found at the same location in Bartlett, NH. These facilities are comprised of approximately 25,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space encompassed in an eleven building complex, situated on seven acres bounded by Kearsarge Street and the White Mountain National Forest. pegmill fire In the 1950's Bartlett Village had at least 5 gasoline and/or repair facilities. Franklin George had Shell gasoline in conjunction with his What Not Shop, E.O Garland had the Gulf station, The Howards operated the Texaco, Elwood Dinsmore operated the Sunoco after his railroad retirement and some Cabin Courts and Inns had gasoline for sale. These were all located within a half mile of each other. The picture below shows the Gulf station in 1950 (left side) next door to Garlands Restaurant. (right side). The Chippanock Inn is lower right. Eben Garland may have been some relation to the Restaurant and other Garlands living in the area. This Gulf station burned in the mid 1950's and was eventually rebuilt in nearly the same footprint. It survives in 2026 as Rogerson's Excavation Co. Anchor 4 Anchor 5 Anchor 11 Anchor 12 1890s–1920s : After the 1893 village fire, E.O. Garland rebuilds in the business district; his name is tied to drugs, jewelry, and a later garage, setting up the Main Street site that becomes the core “station” location. 1930–1943 : Garland’s garage functions as a repair and service hub; gasoline is almost certainly sold, but branding isn’t clearly documented yet—typical of small rural garages in this era. (Inference from commerce patterns.) 1944–1949: Garland's Main Street garage operates as a Gulf station under E.O. Garland— Meanwhile, the What Not Shop on corner of Main Street and Albany Ave begins selling gasoline out front in the mid‑1940s, it was either Shell or Mobil at various times. 1950–1959 : The What Not Shop continues as a general store with gas; ownership later passes to Dottie Howard and then the Phaneufs, and finally the Ryans, when it burned. The Garland's Main Street station branding shifts to Shell for a time before returning to Gulf. 1990 and beyond : As the commercial aspects of the Village declined, all the gas stations closed, The Hotel and the former What Not Shop burned, replaced with a small park and a church parking lot. The town also lost its peg mill, thermostat factory and grocery stores. The once bustling Village area now holds almost no reason for folks driving through to stop. Some folks like it that way.

History of the Bartlett Experimental Forest at Bartlett New Hampshire. NH Bartlett Experimental Forest What's going on up in those woods? Bartlett Experimental Forest The Bartlett Experimental Forest is within the Saco Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. It is managed by RWU-4155 of the Northern Research. Station. Research activities began at the Experimental Forest when it was established in 1931 and is 2,600 acres in size but will likely double in area with the forest plan revision that is being written. The BEF extends from the village of Bartlett in the Saco River valley at 680 ft to about 3,000 ft at its upper reaches. This particular site was chosen because it represented conditions (soils, elevation, climate, tree species composition) typical of many forested areas throughout New England and northern New York. The White Mountain National Forest , including the BEF, was purchased under the Weeks Act of 1911. In the late 19th century, the area was selectively logged for high value species, first eastern white pine and red spruce and later sugar maple and yellow birch. Logging railroads were laid and hardwood stands were clearcut for locomotive fuel. The lower third of the BEF was logged and some portions cleared for pasture. Upper portions were progressively less impacted with increasing elevation. Although fires are relatively rare, the 1938 hurricane did widespread damage. High grading resulted in more American beech, so when the beech scale-Nectria complex, or beech bark disease, arrived in the 1940s it caused substantial damage and continues to influence stand dynamics. An ice storm in 1998 was the most recent widespread natural disturbance, impacting mostly higher elevation stands. Occasional wind storms are common disturbances, but of relatively small scale. There are areas of old-growth northern hardwoods with beech, yellow birch, sugar maple, and eastern hemlock being the dominant species. Even-aged stands of red maple, paper birch, and aspen occupy sites that were once cleared. Red spruce stands cover the highest slopes. Eastern white pine is confined to the lowest elevations. In 1931-32 the Bartlett Forest was gridded with 500 permanent 0.1-ha square cruise plots spaced 200 by 100 meters apart. After an initial measurement of all woody stems larger than 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter, a majority of the plots (441) were remeasured by 1-inch (2.54 centimeters) diameter classes and species in 1939-40 and again in 1991-92. This 60-year data set includes areas (55%) that were cut for experimental purposes using single-tree selection, diameter-limit cutting, group selection, clearcutting, shelterwood, and thinning. Another 45% of the Forest has not been harvested since at least 1890. The Forest has no history of recent fires, but a 1938 hurricane did substantial damage, particularly at the higher elevations, and the area sustained severe damage from beech-bark disease in the early 1940's. Two other natural disturbances may be occurring on this Forest: red spruce decline associated with acid deposition and migration of tree species upslope as a result of climate warming. Wildlife species on the Bartlett Experimental Forest depend on the array of surrounding forest and riparian habitats on the extensively forested mountain slopes. No forested and aquatic habitats are minor components of the overall landscape. At least 15 species of amphibians and reptiles, 90 bird species, and 35 mammalian species have been known to occur in the area throughout the year. Charismatic megafauna like moose and black bear can be seen: redback, spring and two-lined salamanders and wood frogs are also found, as well as a number of raptors (red-tailed hawk, goshawk, barred owl, and saw-whet owl), a variety of neotropical migratory birds, permanent residents (crossbills and redpolls); and an array of bats, small mammals, forest carnivores (weasels, fisher, bobcat), snowshoe hare, and white-tailed deer. The most serious problem facing woodland managers in the Northeast is a lack of knowledge about the ecological relationships between wildlife habitat and forest management in northern hardwoods and associated ecosystems at various levels. This information is essential for integrating wildlife habitat maintenance and improvement with other forest management goals including timber production and maintenance of aesthetic qualities.

These guys have saved a lot of lugging by constructing this chute to slide the logs down hill to a central spot. Probably 1930's; Photographer Unknown. A BRIEF NOTE ABOUT THE SCALE OF THE 1938 HURRICANE: Cleaning up timber damaged by the Great 1938 Hurricane took years. The storm blew down so many trees that paper mills processed them for nine years. The blowdowns posed a dilemma: What to do with enough woody debris to nearly fill Rhode Island? And how to do it quickly enough so it didn’t set off tremendous forest fires? President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration to clean up the mess. It then took two years for the 50 CCC camps and 15,000 WPA workers in the region to finish the job. For 87 years, the Bartlett Experimental Forest has been a proving ground for almost every forestry treatment ever plausibly proposed for managing northern hardwoods. Vetting and spreading the best of these practices has been the life work of two scientists: Mariko Yamaskai and Bill Leak. Read the article at "Northern Woodlands". Northern Woodlands

BARTLETT LAND AND LUMBER COMPANY The village of Bartlett, New Hampshire, was once the center of railroad activity by the Maine Central Railroad in the eastern White Mountains. Bartlett was also the location of a large sawmill and a logging railroad which made tracks over Bear Notch and down into the Swift River valley. The Bartlett Land and Lumber Company was formed in the early 1870s by lumbermen from Portland, Maine who also accumulated about forty thousand acres of timberland. Bartlett Land & Lumber Company Research Project The Bartlett Land & Lumber Company and its subsidiary the Bartlett & Albany Railroad was owned by Frank George and C.F. Buffum, both from Bartlett, along with Charles and Horatio Jose, of Portland, ME. According to Aileen Carroll’s book, Bartlett, New Hampshire … in the valley of the Saco, in 1873, the lumber company began acquiring tracts of land on Bear Mountain and Mount Tremont. This land abutted acreage owned by the Livermore logging operation and would eventually lead to a boundary dispute that ended up in the United States Supreme Court for resolution. Aside from the main mill located on “Company Hill,” smaller mills that were part of the BL&LC mill were located along the tracks of the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad. (Company Hill was located on the upper section of today’s Albany Avenue heading up the road toward the winter gate; after the gate, the road is then known as Bear Notch Road.) The mill operated until 1894 when the properties and railroad were sold to Otis Smith of Cambridge, MA and Herbert Blanchard of Concord, MA. Today, the land of the main mill is privately owned. A recent exploration by BHS member, David Atchason, and Phil Franklin located the mill site. They found that aside from a few remnants of the mill most of it has blended back into the forest. BHS has very little historical information on the Bartlett Land & Lumber Company. Scotty Mallett, our BHS railroad historian and member of the BHS Board of Directors has launched an effort to dig into the history of this company, once the largest employer in town. The Bartlett Historical Society Museum has an artifact from the site of the main mill and maps that show the layout of the mill but beyond that and what the Carroll book relates, we have a blank page that needs to be filled. How Can You Help? We are in search of any paper documentation or records from the mill, photographs of the mill operation, lists of employees, information on the smaller mill sites, family stories of relatives who worked at the mill and more information on the Supreme Court case with the Livermore logging operation. If you have artifacts from the mill or other historical information, we’d welcome that as well. If you can help and information to deepen our knowledge of the mill, please contact either Scotty Mallett at ScottyMallett@gmail.com or 603-383-3040 or Phil Franklin at Phil@BartlettHistory.org .

WHEN WAS RTE 302 DESIGNATED ROUTE 18? From 1922 until 1935, much of what is now US 302 was a part of the New England road marking system. Route 18, from Portland, Maine, northwest to Littleton, New Hampshire , roughly 112 miles. From Littleton west to Montpelier in Vermont, US 302 and Route 18 took different paths. NE-18 took a more northerly route, along present-day New Hampshire Route 18 and Vermont Route 18 to St._Johnsbury,_Vermont likely paralleling Interstate_93 then along present-day U.S. Route 2 up to Montpelier. Current US 302 runs along a more southerly route using other former sections of New England Interstate Routes. From Littleton, it went along former Route 10 to Woodsville,_New_Hampshire then along former Route 25 to Montpelier. The entire Maine segment of US 302 was formerly designated State Route 18, a route that was established in 1926 until being deleted in 1935 by US 302. ROOSEVELT TRAIL: The Theodore Roosevelt International Highway was a transcontinental North American highway, from the era of the auto trails, through the United States and Canada that ran from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon. Its length was about 4,060 miles. The eastern end of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway and the part through Bartlett and Crawford Notch was designated US 302 in 1935, and is still known in Maine as the Roosevelt Trail.[3] The highway was designated as a memorial following Theodore Roosevelt's death on January 6, 1919.[1] Michigan completed its section of the highway in the middle of 1926.[2] A 56-mile (90 km) portion of the highway over the Continental Divide through Marias Pass in northwestern Montana was not completed until 1930. Automobiles were carried over the pass in Great Northern Railway cars until the highway was finished.[4] Dedication ceremonies for the full route were held in Montana four months after the completion of the highway. The name fell into disuse after the 1930s with the 1926 designation of the United States Numbered Highway System that replaced much of its routing with numbered highway designations.[2] Road Accident, Jul 1880 A DRUNKEN DRIVER AND A TERRIBLE WAGON ACCIDENT ON MOUNT WASHINGTON. Mountain Wagon Upset and Its Occupants Thrown on to the Rocks---One Lady Killed and Five Wounded . GLEN COVE, N. H., July 11 1880 The first accident by which any passengers were ever injured on the carriage road from Glen house to the summit of Mount Washington occurred this afternoon about a mile below the Half-way House. One of the six-horse mountain wagons, containing a party of nine persons, the last load of the excursionists from Michigan to make the descent of the mountain, was tipped over. One lady was killed and five others were injured.Soon after starting from the summit the passengers discovered that the driver had been drinking while waiting for the party to descend. They left this wagon a short distance from the summit, and walked to the Halfway House, four miles, below, where one of the employees of the carriage road company assured them that there was no bad place below, and that he thought it would be safe for them to resume their seats with the driver who was with them. Soon after passing the Halfway House, in driving around a curve too rapidly, the carriage was tipped over, throwing the occupants into the woods and on the rocks. Mrs. Ira Chichester, of Allegan, Michigan, was instantly killed, and her husband, who was sitting at her side, was slightly bruised. Of the other occupants, Mrs. M. L. Tomsley, of Kalamazoo, Mich., had her left arm broken and received a slight cut on the head; Miss Jessie Barnard, of Kalamazoo, was slightly injured on the head; Miss Ella E. Meller and Mrs. C. Ferguson, of Romeo, Mich., and Miss Emma Lamb, of Howell, Mich., were slightly injured. Miss Emma Blackman, of Kalamazoo, escaped without any injuries. The wounded were brought at once to the Glen House, and received every possible care and attention, there being three physicians in attendance. Lindsey, the driver, was probably fatally injured. He had been on the road for ten years, and was considered one of the safest and most reliable drivers on the mountain. Mrs. Vanderhoot , of Chicago, also received slight internal injuries.

Commerce in Bartlett 1890 to 1960 Upper Village Area Albany Avenue From 1900 to the early 1980's every day in Bartlett Village began with the 7 a.m. steam whistle at the Peg Mill which could be easily heard for several miles around. The noon break was similarly begun, and the day ended, at 5 p.m. when the final whistle of the day was sounded. For many, life revolved around the plaintive signal from the Mill. When the first settlers arrived in Bartlett in the 1790's today's Upper Village was the "end of the line" as far as passable roads were concerned. It was not until 1807 when the Tenth Mountain Turnpike was completed through Crawford Notch that the Village became an important mid-way point along the way from Lancaster to Portland. It opened the way for artists and writers to more easily visit the area and through their written accounts and paintings the tourist industry was born. Teamsters in great caravans a quarter mile long, sometimes stopped in the Village and several stage lines also brought travelers who would stay the night before continuing through the Notch. It would be another seventy years until the boom generated by the railroad passing through town gave the Village a memorable boost. Before the railroad came to Bartlett most activity revolved around self sufficient farming and small lodging houses. The population was about 670 in all of Bartlett. With the coming of the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad in 1873, The Village of Bartlett realized a dramatic increase in population and commerce. The demand increased more when the railroad was completed through Crawford Notch in 1875. Unlike today, 100 years ago Bartlett Village was a bustling place. By 1890 the population was about 1200 but that number was about triple that during the summer months. The precise history of exactly where many of the business were located is sketchy however; In 1893 (or 1896 depending which story you believe) the entire Village business district was destroyed by a fire that spread with lightening like rapidity. Within 2-½ hours but one store was left in the place. Fourteen families had been burned out and the Maine Central Railway Station, restaurant, and freight depot, together with the post office were destroyed. The other principal losses included: Mr. & Mrs. Foster, general store, -P.J. Martin, general store, - F. Garland, drugs and jewelry, -E.O. Garland building -J. Emery house, - J. Head house -H.E. Brooks grocery store, -H.L. Towle’s building, - A.L. Meserve building, -Miss Emily A. Merserve's tenement block, - Miss Bates, millinery. The primary point being that most of the buildings in the Village Business area must be newer than the 1893 fire. Considering the great numbers of businesses that thrived here it is a little surprising that so few of them are remembered in any great detail or even where they were located. Below is Albany Ave, 1915, looking North. Church steps on left, Post Office on the right and Howard Hotel. Various sources identify these businesses as existing in the Village area about 1890: (We might assume that many of these were destroyed in the 1893 fire) George Brothers Drygoods, Gents Furnishings, Boots and Shoes; P.J. Martin, Clothing, Gents Furnishings and Undertaking; W.S.Foster - Livery & Boarding Stable; Frank Simono, Barber & Shoemaker; P. Fortier, Barber; H.L. Brooks & Co. Groceries-Meats-Provisions; E. Sarson, General Store E.O. Garland General Mdse; Garland, Howard & Co, General Merchandise; Ed Butler, Groceries, Confectionery & Cigars; F.E. Garland, Drugs & Jewelry; Geo. M. Knowles, Newsroom & Barber By the 1920's the following business names were added to the list: The Howard Garage, repairs and gasoline, air and storage; Garland's Ice Cream Parlor and Tea Room; James Donahue's General Store; Garland Bros. Drug Store; In addition to these endeavors the Village also had a movie theater showing first "the silents" followed years later by "the talkies" , a pool room, a Village Band, two Doctors, two Churches and there was a bowling alley on River Street. The Bartlett Free Public Library (established in 1896) was housed on the lower level of the Congregational Church. The Village also had its own jail located just off Albany Avenue on the south side of the railroad tracks. One must remember that during these days there were no paved roads between Bartlett and Portland and most traffic came and went by train. Additionally there were at least a dozen Inns and lodging places in the Village that served the travelling public. For a time, Upper Bartlett Village was "the place to be", out-ranking nearby North Conway, which holds that distinction today. Garland's Store, Barbershop and Post Office on Albany Ave. No Date was provided but probably in the 1940-1950 range. Garlands was a drug store, but also sold clothing, footwear and hardware. This building is on Albany Avenue, just across the tracks on the right...Most recently it has been transformed to apartments. The brown building at the center of the lower picture was most recently Jacobson's Grocery Store. Now (2019) the building is gone and now a vacant lot. Sidebar Pictured above is the G.K. Howard Store, also on Albany Avenue. Later it was The General Thermostat Factory. Driving south on Albany Ave towards Bear Notch Road it was just across the tracks on the left. Today there are some condo type units in the same spot. There was a building just before the tracks on the right that housed Wimpy Thurston's Grocery Store, later operated by the Jacobson's. The building looked similar to the GK Howard Store but without the dormers. Today that site is an empty lot. Mr. Howard at his office, below. The line down the right side of the picture is not a wrinkle...it's an electric wire. Granville K Howard Mr. Howard was born in Hartford, Vt., in 1864, he was graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1886 and always kept up his interests in the activities of the college. In 1887 he married Nellie Bailey of Landgrove, Vt., and two years later he moved to Bartlett. From that time until his retirement in 1946 he was active in business, conducting a general store. In 1912 he built the Howard Hotel, which would later be known as the Bartlett Hotel. He owned "Howard's Camps" , which later became Silver Springs Campground. The Dunrovin Inn was originally the private Residence of GK Howard and before he opened the Howard Hotel he had taken in travelers at this location. Mr. Howard held many town offices, having served as selectman and as a member of the school board. He was instrumental in forming the Bartlett Water Precinct of which he was treasurer for 51 years. Always interested in the welfare of the town, one of his last acts was to give a plot of land opposite the hotel for a public park . For many years he was active in Osceola Lodge, I. O. O. F., He died in November of 1949. The Dunrovin Inn: G.K. Howard's Inn and Residence. Photo about 1940. --------------------------------- Howard's Camp , later Silver Springs Campground. 1920's: Albany Avenue looking north towards today's Route 302. The storefront was later to be Wimpy Thurston's grocery store, followed by Jacobson's grocery store and thereafter it was briefly used as living space for Peter Marcoux with a youth center downstairs. It was later demolished and is an empty lot today (2019). I don't know what store it may have been at the time of this photo, the identifying signs are not readable, even when enlarged. The building next door is the Garland Hotel and next to that is the Union Congregational Church . Across from the Church was the former James Donahue General Store , which later became Mallett's Grocery Store. 1920's: Railroad Square. The railroad tracks are just off to the right of this picture. The first house on left was where Helen Hayes lived and took in boarders. The house burned in the 1980's and was replaced with the building that is there today (2019). Next to that, with the flat roof, is the I.O.O.F (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) Hall. It was also used by the Knights of Pythias. It also had a movie theater and stage for live performances. The Lloyd Chandlers live in the next house today. The steeple (if that's what it's called) of the School is visible at right top. During the 1950's and 60's the foreground area was a popular spot for impromptu baseball games on weekends or after school. With the lack of an umpire some games became very contentious often ending with the owner of the balls and bats taking his equipment and going home. Some residents of that time period might remember playing "cowboys and Indians " in the woods, a popular game, however, in Bartlett, it was played with real guns...(although probably not loaded). Meanwhile, out on main street..... In the 1930's The Main Street through Bartlett was dominated by elm trees, residences, Inns, a few restaurants and bars and automobile service stations. In 1854, Bartlett's first church, The Chapel of the Hills , occupied a spot in front of today's school. An establishment on Main Street known as the Red Rooster had a reputation as a popular "drinking" spot. A bit later, a similar establishment known as The Main Street Restaurant was operated by Eleanor Macumber across the street from Howard's Texaco . Farther west on Main Street, Bob Davis operated a home heating oil business. Bartlett Village streets were lined with mature elm trees up until the mid 1940's when the Dutch Elm disease decimated them and none remain today. Fred and Grace Garland operated Garland's Tea Room, and later it was a restaurant and ice cream parlor know simply as "Garlands". It also had a few cabins, some of which are still there today. This restaurant operated until the early 1970's and was destroyed by fire. It was located just west of today's Post Office. The What Not Shop was operated by Franklin and Almeda George from the mid 1940's. True to it's name, the store carried practically everything one could want in those days and even had an ice cream soda parlor. For quite a time they sold gasoline out front. Franklin was the Town tax collector in those days and he operated that activity from the store as well. Franklin and his wife lived right across the street in the same house that his ancestors operated as an Inn in the mid 1800's. After Franklin's death the store was operated by Dottie Howard for a few years and then by David & Debby Phanauef , who renamed it to the Bear Notch Deli. David later sold the store to The Ryans . In January of 2009 the store was completely destroyed by fire caused by an electrical problem. The top photo of the What Not Shop is from the mid 1950's The Beginning of changing times. As quickly as prosperity arrived, it departed almost as quickly, when rail passenger service on the Maine Central was discontinued in 1958. By 1983 freight service also ended and the Village fell silent, although most of the residents remained. It is interesting to note the overall decline in merchandise and service businesses from 1960 through 2020; even though the overall Town population has nearly tripled over that time span the population of the Upper Village area has remained about the same, at least as near as can be told by outward appearances. It is estimated that fewer than 500 people reside in the immediate Village area. This has been a result of changing modes of transportation and the centralization of businesses closer to the major population centers..(i.e. the Conway area) . The economic realities of operating a business in smaller local's took its toll on the Upper Village area. When zoning was implemented in the 1980's all of Albany Avenue was zoned residential, thus excluding any business activities. Despite the changes over the years it seems today's residents of the Village area are quite content with everything just as it is. The tourist industry has seen a significant change as travelers tastes and demands changed the smaller Inns and lodgings decreased correspondingly. Bartlett as a whole has prospered as Attitash and Storyland became the focus of attention supporting both the tourist business and a boom in condominium and second home construction and ownership in the town.

Historical information about Bartlett, NH The Village Area of Bartlett Page 4 "Heading East out of the Village" Big Bear: The ski area that never was January 1963: The Bartlett Recreation Development Corporation gets SEC approval to sell 75000 shares at $4.00 each. The developers planned to be open for the 1964 season. At the time, the concept of selling vacation house lots adjacent to ski areas was a new idea. Pinkham Realty was named the selling agent for 45 lots on 32 acres in what would be known as Alpine Village . The lots sold for $1000 to $2000 each and 17 were sold immediately. To summarize the relationship between Big Bear and Attitash, in the early 1960s, two major ski area proposals surfaced for the Rogers Crossing area just east of downtown Bartlett. Big Bear was proposed for a peak known as Rogers Mountain, while a separate ski area was proposed for Little Attitash Mountain. The privately property based Big Bear reportedly faced issues acquiring funds, whilst Attitash reportedly faced issues in obtaining agreements to use National Forest land on its upper elevations. Earle Chandler led development of Big Bear , while Phil Robertson (formerly of Cranmore) managed Attitash. While trails for both areas were cut, Big Bear never saw the light of day. Some associated with the stalled Big Bear development reportedly moved over to Attitash. Work on the area continued into the winter of 1964-65, including the installation of new chairlift towers after Christmas. It would take another 25 years and different ownership for the Big Bear idea to become reality in the form of Bear Peak, constructed under the direction of Les Otten’s LBO Enterprises. 1963 conceptual drawing for Big Bear Ski Area, Currently is Bear Peak at Attitash.

Back in those days Harry Rogers (pictured below in 1946) use to graze milking cows in the fields from this point up to about where Sky Valley is today. Attitash opened in January 1965, calling itself "the red carpet ski area" for its customer service focused on limiting lift lines by limiting ticket sales. That idea was quietly dropped by the end of the decade. Phil Robertson, perhaps recalling the success Cranmore had in developing an entirely new form of ski lift with its Skimobile , became an advocate for a cog monorail ski lift at Attitash. In early 1967, a full-size model was installed at the base, and the line of the track was eventually cut to the summit. "Reality set in" when construction planning started, recalled Thad Thorne, and the uncertain prospects of obtaining financing and Forest Service permission for the expensive, unproven experiment caused its quiet abandonment. In those early days before the Mountain was taken over by huge Corporate businesses it was operated like a family business and all the employees were considered part of the family. It was a close knit group and it wasn't unusual to find the general manager grooming the slopes or selling tickets. Some ski instructors worked nights grooming. The major stockholders were skiing families and they considered it their ski area...which I suppose it was. Growth at Attitash continued with the summer Alpine Slide and Craft Village in the mid-1970s, the installation of snowmaking after several snowless winters in the early 1980s, and the expansion to Bear Peak in the 1990s.

Cooks Crossing Bartlett NH 03812 Cooks Crossing We were recently asked how COOK'S CROSSING came to be named. Norm Head just happened to know the answer. I grew up and still live just up the road from your house (assuming it’s the first shingle style cottage going down the West Side) and am quite familiar with it. The Cook family once owned all of the land that now surrounds your cottage as well as the acreage where The Seasons Condominiums are now. The last Cook family member I knew was Roland Cook who lived in an old farmhouse in the middle of what is now The Seasons Property. I remember his house was reached by a long driveway and was surrounded by pine trees. Mr. Cook worked at Mt. Cranmore and was killed one day on his way to work. The accident happened near the present location of Milford Flooring in Intervale. As you know, there presently is an overpass over the railroad tracks, but the overpass was not always there. Before my time, the road used to just go over the tracks without the benefit of an overpass and vehicles proceeding W or E on Route 302 would have to stop for train traffic. The tracks would thus “cross” the road. Since the Cook family owned most of the land around there and Yankees like to give locations local names, it became known as Cook’s Crossing. The name still shows on many maps and locals still know the reference. It retains its name but I suppose as time goes by, the name may fade away. Another example of a named crossing is where the tracks cross the road just west of Attitash. That is known as Rogers’ Crossing after Harry Rogers and the Rogers family who used to have a farmhouse just over the tracks on the right. Sadly, that house burned flat (and quickly) on a cold and very windy morning. That land as well as the adjoining land where the former town dump was located is now owned by Joe Berry's Company. Hope this helps, glad to try to answer any other questions you might have. Hard to believe that I may be becoming one of those “old timers” that we used to refer to. Editors Note: In recent history some folks refer to this area as "Sucker Brook", which probably refers to a small seasonal stream in the area.

Driving past this spot today you will note that Sawyer's Rock has been nearly obliterated to make way for people who want to get where they are going a little bit faster.

Mr. Souther among the people of the place, aided with a handsome contribution of three hundred dollars from a Mrs. Snow; who, however, died a short time before this object of her pious munificence was attained. The house was dedicated January 21, 1854, the interesting occasion calling together a large attendance, notwithstanding the deep snows of the mountain roads. Source: http://genealogytrails.com/newham/carroll/history.html Another consideration as you try to figure out this picture: Perhaps when the picture was produced from its original negative it may have been reversed; To correct that, imagine if the chapel building appeared on the right side and the other buildings would be on the left. Main Street dated 1896, looking west at Mt Carrigain. That much is a definite fact. We have had some friendly debate about how the church fits into this picture. This editor has found that it was called "The Chapel of the Hills" . At the time of this photo it was on the front lawn of today's school. It was later moved across the street where it remains to this day (2019) but without the Bell Tower. About 1800 Obed Hall's Tavern was said to be in this area. Obed was one of the early prominent pioneers, arriving in Bartlett Village in 1793. His Tavern was in this area. The large building on the right is in the area where the Cave Mountain House was located, and one of those buildings is probably it. It was built in 1890 and burned in 1905.

Fire Sunday Destroys Entire Business District in Bartlett Total damage will approximate $100,000 At 5 o’clock a fire was discovered at rear of H. L. Towle’s grocery store and as there was no fire department in the village, it spread with lightening like rapidity. Word was telegraphed to North Conway for aid and at 7 o’clock a special train left for the scene. The ten mile run was made in a little over ten minutes. When the special arrived the business portion of the town was in ashes. The most strenuous efforts of the town’s people, assisted by the willing guests of the hotels availed to nothing. Within 2-½ hours but one store was left in the place. Fourteen families had been burned out and the Maine Central Railway Station, restaurant, and freight depot, together with the post office were destroyed. The total damage will be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Following are the principal losses: -Maine Central Railway about $10,000, insured -Mr. & Mrs. Foster, general store, buildings, stock $25,000, insured for $7,500 -P.J. Martin, general store, $15,000, insured $9,000 -F. Garland, drugs and jewelry, $2,500, insurance $1,500 -E.O. Garland, building, contents, $15,000 insured $7,000 -J.

Mr Flynn and his family rented the Dot Stewart house down by Sky Valley. Flynn moved to Rochester, NH in 1968 and operated a much larger Gulf Station there, right in the center of town. As to the Bartlett Gulf Station, it sat idle for a time, in the early 1970's Mr. Richard Jones operated a restaurant called Fat Cats in the same building. It only survived for a year or two.

Bartlett NH - Glen Junction area - 1952 aerial photo Glen Area Upper Bartlett Glen Area Cooks Crossing Goodrich Falls Jericho Intervale Dundee West Side Road Kearsarge This picture was taken in the winter of 1952. If you live in Bartlett you probably drive through here everyday. Do you know where it is? Just a hint, the building at left center is the Storybook Motor Inn. Everyone knows where The Red Parka Pub is located. Well, it wasn't always a pub. It started life as a General Store in the 1940's. Nancy Grant Bartlett shared this information: In 1952, the building that is now the Red Parka Pub was my parents' general store. In 1965, they built Grant's (on the hill), and Conway Supply (Bun Lucy) rented the "old store". A year later (I think - maybe it was two), my parents built the shopping center and Conway Supply moved there. At that time, my parents rented the building to Dottie and Rick Roderick, and they opened it as the Red Parka Pub. A couple of years later, the Rodericks moved back to Massachusetts. Dewey & Jean Mark and Al & Lois Nelson then leased it from my parents, and eventually Dewey and Jean purchased it. The rest, as they say, is history.... More trivia - the house where Jen Forman lived was the station agent's house, and my great-grandfather, Frank Burnell, was the station agent. After Papa (my great-grandfather) died, the house was sold. I don't remember who bought it originally, but it was sold again in the 60's and became Vien na Lodge. The Vienna Lodge sign is also in the Pub at the Parka. My house (since 1968) is just before that. Redparka One more 60 year old memory has come in from Roger Marcoux of Bartlett: "Straight ahead through that left door on the back wall was where The Rifleman rifles were (toy gun) when it was Grant's Store, ( I know, because I got one) and just in front of that on the right was the cooler with 16 ounce Jic-Jac soda for a dime, which was a pretty crazy deal since Cokes were a nickel in Bartlett, plus a 2 cent deposit unless you drank it there, but you only got 6-1/4 ounces, and Pepsi was a dime for 12 ounces. It was also Carroll County Hardware at one point, before they moved that to main street in North Conway on the right side of the entrance to Reporter Court. I helped my dad paint that building."

It closed in the mid 1960's and became Gabby's Pub. It later became The Ross Family's Margarita Grill. They called it MargaritaVille until the folks who already trademarked the name complained. As of this writing it is the Margarita Grill Restaurant, Across the Street from Patch's Marketplace. (2022) Thanks to Robert Gerouard for this picture. Storyland in Glen was founded in the early 1950's by Bob Morrell. That's a whole story in itself, that I will get around to one of these days. I would suppose this little map is from the very beginning days. I recall once when my family went there in the mid 1950's and my older brother "Hap", w ho was about ten years old, was studying the old fire truck they had there and wondered why the siren didn't work. Being a mechanical sort of kid he noticed that it was simply that the battery was disconnected and within five minutes he had it all connected and had the siren wailing. The Storyland management was not impressed. They didn't throw us out though. I have a dedicated page for Storyland at this LINK . Cannellphotos Cannell's in Glen about 1935. At this time the highway ran about 600 feet south of its current location in the Jericho Road area. The Cannell's that most 2000 era folks remember was at the Intervale Scenic Vista. They moved there from Glen in 1937. They closed the business in 2022. This post card was sent in by Diane Lambert and is labeled Cannell's, Glen, N.H. The cars in this picture suggest a time frame in the 1920's. The mountains in the background are suggestive of the area around the Intervale scenic vista...but the Cannell's did not move there until 1937. I think a closer investigation will reveal this is a southwesterly view from their Glen location. The Bartlett Boulder Boulder This 1900 era photo shows the Bartlett Boulder suspended by four smaller boulders. It was once a very visible attraction but in recent years trees grew up and houses were built. It is now in the backyard of a house opposite the Glen Warehouse. (Allen Road) I don't know how they feel about folks traipsing about to search it out. There is no sign, so that might be a hint they hope you don't find it.... (just my guess) The Bartlett Boulder is a large glacial erratic. The exact date when the Bartlett Boulder came to its final resting spot is unknown, but it is generally believed to have been deposited in its current location by a glacier during the last Ice Age, which ended about 11,700 years ago. The Bartlett Boulder is made of Conway granite, which is found about 30 miles to the north. This suggests that the boulder was transported by a glacier from its source to its current location. Glaciers can transport boulders of this size over long distances, and the Bartlett Boulder is a testament to the power of these massive ice sheets. The movement of the Bartlett Boulder is generally attributed to the Wisconsin glaciation, which occurred between 85,000 and 11,000 years ago. During this period, glaciers covered much of North America, including New England, and left behind many glacial features, such as moraines, drumlins, and erratics like the Bartlett Boulder. coveredbridgeshop This photo is the Glen covered bridge, sometime in the 1950's. It was built 100 years before that in 1850. It was restored in 1967. Next picture down shows it as "The Shop In The Bridge ". It was purchased from the Government for $1.00 by Jules Cassenelli who opened it as a shop in 1968-69. Mr Cassenelli was also the Bartlett Postmaster and lived on Company Hill (Albany Ave) in the Village. He also operated the movie theatre in North Conway. As of 2022 this location is called "The Covered Bridge Shop " and is part of a Bed n Breakfast next door. The lower photo is the backside of the postcard, dated Sep 24, 1969, mailed from Jackson.. Frog Rock was a familiar Landmark roadkill RoadKillCafe The Road Kill Cafe - 1992 Was located just west of the West Side Road intersection. Before the Road Kill it was The Mad Hatter Restaurant. After its restaurant days it became a laundry business and then a ski shop . This area was known for many years as "Frog Rock". Around 2018 The Frog was moved a hundred yards west to Norman Head's property, the former Woodshed. FrogRock Frog Rock as a Landmark PineGlen Before, (and after), it was the Roadkill Cafe the area was locally referred to as Frog Rock. Tom Luken , living in Colorado now (2026), tells me that his dad, Ed Luken Sr, who fought in WW2 in 10th Mountain Division, built the house at frog rock in the 1960's as the family residence. When Ed Sr purchased the property in the 1960's, it was known then as Pine Glen Cabins . This editor remembers only one cabin at that location in 1960 and it was the home of a small bicycle sales and repair shop. Eddie Luken, the oldest son, served two tours in Vietnam. He headed west, married and had 3 boys. Vietnam took its toll on him mentally. PTSD. He passed in March, 2014, 3 days after his mom died. Perhaps around 2015 the frog was moved a short distance west to the Norman Head property where it can still be seen to this day (2026). Eddie Luken: 1967 Kennett High School graduation picture. Lock Shop The Lock Shop's background This item appeared in the Letters to the Editor of the Conway Daily Sun on September 10, 2009. — To the editor: I must correct some information in your article about Joe Thibodeau’s recent purchase of The Lock Shop [Conway Daily Sun Business section, Sept. 2, 2009]. My step-father, William Gimber, started The Lock Shop in North Conway. He owned the former gas station where the Connie Davis Watson park is now located. The garage was for gas sales and a mini-mart only. The service bay was where Bill originated The Lock Shop (that and his van). He ran it there until he purchased the location where Prompto Oil Change now is. You may remember there was a vacant retail space and a small laundromat. Bill then moved The Lock Shop to that location and ran it up until his passing in November 1975. There were two employees then, Doug Carr and John Stetson. Doug Carr, while a valuable employee, never owned either the business or the real estate. Doug and his wife Ruth, in their retirement, had built a house on Dundee Road a fter my father’s passing, I managed the business with the very capable help of Doug and John. Doug had already retired up here once and didn’t want to continue working any more. About that time, John started having some personal problems and the family decided it was time to sell. Mr. Charlie Albro had previously expressed some interest and we ended up negotiating a satisfactory agreement. He ran the business until he sold it to Bob and Maureen Day . Charlie Albro moved the business from North Conway to Conway when he purchased that mobile home park there in the rear and he subsequently sold to Bob Day. Don’t mean to be picky, but I hope this clarifies the situation for both you and Mr. Thibodeau. Again, Mr. Carr never owned the business. I still have some old Lock Shop memo pads with my father’s name on them. Norman J. Head Badger Realty LLC Jackson This item seems to be more about North Conway than Bartlett. It's included here because Bill Gimber owned The Woodshed in Glen. His Lock Shop van was often seen there.

Ruth was born in Auburn, Maine to Millard and Carlene Learn. She graduated from Gorham State Teachers College with a Bachelor of Science in Education. After teaching for three years, she met her husband, Edmund A. "Sonny" Pettengill. They raised six active children in Sonny's hometown of Bartlett. There were broken arms, broken legs, band, chorus, measles, mumps, ski team, baseball and always rides needed to somewhere. Ruth enjoyed her family. A special pleasure was relaxing at the family camp in Lovell. Other favorite activities included camping, deep sea fishing and touring. There were many adventures: attending Expo 67 Montreal World's Fair, canoeing the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, and a journey to Telegraph Creek, B.C. to visit the grave of a mysterious great uncle who died looking for gold. She was an active member of the Bartlett community. The Bartlett Elementary School and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary were her favorites. Ruth always participated in the Auxiliary's Christmas toy party for Bartlett children. During her term as Auxiliary President, she coordinated numerous patriotic events, helped the School Band obtain uniforms and organized an elementary school baton troupe that marched in many parades. Ruth volunteered for the American Cancer Society, helping those in need of transportation. Years ago that always meant many trips to Portland. Ruth also delivered Meals on Wheels. She was generous with her time, sharing it willingly with those needing companionship. She jumped into home based business, selling Tupperware and Avon (great reasons to have a party). She wore 10 individual colors of nail polish before it was fashionable to be different. As a post-retirement job, Sonny drove tractor-trailer from Denver to NY. Always adventurous, Ruth (in her mid-sixties) made many cross country journeys with him. She loved the West, the Denver Stock Show, Greek festivals, Spanish lessons and much more. In her late sixties, she was certified as an ombudsman, protecting the rights of senior citizens who could no longer care for themselves. Unfortunately, Ruth experienced serious health problems and returned to NH permanently. Sonny couldn't take care of her and she resided at Mineral Springs for many years. Sonny visited her almost every day until his last day. The Mineral Springs staff found Ruth an interesting and entertaining resident. She considered many of them dear friends. The family is very thankful for the compassionate care and love Ruth was given. They are grateful for the compassion they were shown the day she passed. Ruth was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Edmund; and sister, Jane Learn. She is survived by daughters: Nancy Hayes and husband Carroll, Cynthia Pettengill, Cheryl Emerson and husband Robert; by sons: James Pettengill, Steven Pettengill and wife Virgina (Gina), and Edmund Pettengill and wife Laura.

As a child and into adulthood, Mark skied in the Mount Washington Valley with his family and friends. The mountains were in his blood and as an adult he returned and took up residence in the area. Family bonds were tight and he spent much time with his brothers Dave and Steve who also lived in Bartlett. Mark loved all his family, he enjoyed singing at his church, visiting his neighbors and friends and most of all he was very blessed to have such a close relationship with his brother Dave. They were best friends as well as brothers and spent some time together every day. Mark is the son of the late Dr. Bernard Phaneuf and his wife Mary. Brother of the late Stephen Phaneuf and uncle of the late Christopher Barrett. He leaves his only sister Marianne Albano and brothers, Vincent and David Phaneuf; also nephews Patrick Barrett, Mathew and Kenneth Albano and great nieces Hailey Albano and Amelia Barrett.

Box 621 Glen, NH 03838 Maxine Grace Anderson Patch Born on April 29, 1949, in Manchester, N.H., to Arthur and Grace (neé Perkins) Anderson of 455 Willard St. in Berlin N.H., she lost her battle with lung cancer on Jan. 8, 2021. She grew up in Berlin attending St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. She graduated from Berlin High School with the class of 1967, where she worked in the library. Maxine made many lifelong friends at Berlin High School, including Patty, Bunny, Jackie, Anne, Jeanne and many more, who she really enjoyed reconnecting with at all the class reunions. She was a very accomplished artist and crafter, which included painting, knitting, homemade greeting cards and needlepoint. She spent many years practicing these hobbies, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Maxine married David L. Patch of Glen, N.H., on Dec. 22, 1968, while he was serving in the Air Force and lived in Idaho and Michigan with him during his stateside tours of duty. While living in Idaho, she gave birth to their son, David A. Patch, only seven weeks before her husband left for a tour in Southeast Asia. When her husband was discharged from the service, they came home on March 28, 1972, after four and a half years. They lived in Intervale, N.H., for 10 years, and Maxine worked at the Intervale Post Office with Bud Smith from Conway, and also became the Bartlett Town Treasurer for more than 20 years. In 1980, they bought a home on Jericho Road, and she lived there for the rest of her life. Maxine was a “Little League Mom” and often hauled half the team to games in her big brown station wagon, and bought ice cream after the games (even on losing nights). She overcame her fear of heights in order to go skiing with her family, and enjoyed canoeing with family and friends on the Saco River. She was an excellent shot with a rifle, and even won a turkey shoot, which included beating her husband. She ate turkey that Thanksgiving, and David ate crow. While still living in Intervale, they bought White Mountain Auto Supply in North Conway, the local NAPA Auto Parts store. Maxine became the accounts payable bookkeeper, payroll officer, and assistant tax preparer to Harold Oulton, the store’s longtime accountant. She worked as a bookkeeper at Hill’s Department Store in Manchester, when David was stationed in Biloxi, Miss., and the experience served her well at the NAPA store. Maxine married into a large family, which included brothers, in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins. She was always willing to host family gatherings such as birthday parties, anniversaries, and just getting together for weekends. She always had a full house, and was usually the one behind the camera, and this was a big reason that ensured the Patch Family stayed close through the years. Maxine was a member of the Christ Episcopal Church for many years and was extremely fond of her church family. She served on many committees and also worked in the thrift store. Maxine was a loyal friend and a very loving wife and mother, and she was always willing to help out someone in need. Her friendly attitude and warm smile will light her way in the next life, but those who knew her will miss the sunshine and love that she created here in this world, for everyone whose life she touched. Maxine was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Grace Anderson; brothers Edward G. Anderson and Francis Phair; her sisters, Helen (Anderson) Rivard and Arlene (Anderson) Shreenan; and her niece Raylene Shreenan. She is survived by her husband, David L. Patch; her son David A. Patch, both of Glen, N.H.; brother- in-laws Donald B. Patch and wife, Marlyne; and Ronald J. Patch of Glen; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and cousins from Berlin, Bethel, Maine, Ohio, the Portland, Maine, area and Arizona. Funeral services will be held at Christ Episcopal Church in North Conway, N.H., on Saturday, Oct. 16, at 11 a.m. and the burial will be in Berlin at the New City Cemetery following the services. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Jen’s Friends or your preferred animal shelter. Arrangements are being handled by the Furber and White Funeral Home.

His mother passed away shortly after he was born, and his father, seven years later. He was raised by his aunt and uncle. Fran graduated from Attleboro High School in 1963 and then went on to graduate from Providence College. In 1968, he enlisted in the army and was stationed in Panama.

Fran remained close with her daughter Tori Purington and to Bethany’s grandson, Jahmay Purington. Fran’s love of golf and skiing informed his life’s work. Skiing brought him to the valley, and he shared his love of the mountains as a ski instructor at Attitash until the early 1990s. Fran graced multiple golf courses throughout his life, including the Mount Washington Hotel, Hale’s Location and Indian Mound. For most of the last decade, he split his time between the North Conway Country Club and Cranmore Mountain. Fran was curious about the world and an avid reader. He had a great sense of humor and loved to joke with all around him. He enjoyed road trips, especially to the Pittsburg, N.H., area, where he used to visit as a child.

Jones, 75, of Ormond Beach, Fla., passed away peacefully Thursday, June 8, 2011, at Shand's Medical Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville, with his family at his side. Bob was born March 5, 1936 on River Street in Bartlett, the son of the Robert J. and Arline (Bergeron) Jones, also of Bartlett. Bob graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1956 and loved being a Raider. He excelled in sports — on both the basketball court and in track and field. He scored the first basket ever in the famed Gibson Gym. In track, Bob set several school records and also set the record for most points scored by an individual in an Oxford County track meet. He was recently elected to the academy's Hall of Excellence for his athletic accomplishments, and he will be inducted posthumously in October. Upon graduation from Fryeburg Academy, Bob accepted a track scholarship to the University of Illinois. Once there he learned that the school had too many athletes and not enough scholarships. Due to the unluck of the draw, Bob's college experience ended all too abruptly. That led to another career path with a brief stop in Memphis, Tenn. where he worked at Wonderbread with Elvis. Yes, that Elvis! Nine months later Bob joined the U.S. Air Force where he proudly served his country, working as a fireman until his retirement in 1978 when he returned home to what he fondly called "God's country" — Bartlett. A staunch believer in community service, Bob was the town fire chief for a number of years and also served on the town's conservation commission and planning board. The photo at left is Bob in the winter of 1983 at the Red Carpet Ski Shop at Attitash where he worked for one winter with his brother Dick (Richard) Jones. Bob was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 1982 and received a heart transplant in 1984. He was the first patient in the world to be put on the now popular cyclosporine anti-rejection drug. Until his passing Bob was the second longest surviving heart transplant in the United States. He was frequently asked to speak to patients waiting for transplants on what to prepare for and the importance of a positive attitude. Bob will be remembered for his wit, love of a joke and a good story. He started many a story with, "Did you hear the one about?" Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Elizabeth (Tarner) Jones, of Ormond Beach; their two children, daughter Arlene and her husband, Bryan Samartino, of Ormond Beach; a son, Lloyd and his wife, Lynn, of Bartlett; a grandson, Anthony Samartino, of Ormond Beach; and his brother and sister, Richard Jones and Lorraine Jones, both of Bartlett. There will be no calling hours or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider becoming organ donors. Richard A. Jones, of Bartlett, died peacefully on Feb. 9, 2015. He was born on Aug. 26, 1940 in North Conway, N.H. and was a lifelong resident of Bartlett, which he fondly called "the center of his world" over the years. He graduated from Fryeburg Academy and went on to Becker College in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he earned a degree in retailing. Richard is remembered as a director, stockholder and ski shop owner of the Red Carpet Ski Shop at Attitash from the time it opened in 1966 until 1994. He later opened Heavens Ski Shop in Glen and ran it until his retirement. He traveled extensively and had countless friends all around the world. He was an avid story-teller and knew how to entertain an audience. He was a man who would share freely of his time, advice and experience. He regarded his longtime ski shop employees as friends. He was a generous employer and always said if the ski shop does well, so will you. He was true to his word. At the end of each season he would take the entire ski shop crew to far-away places, including Russia, South America and Mexico, a different adventure every year. The following self-written obituary was found among his papers: "Richard A. Jones of Bartlett, N.H., departed this earth for another great adventure. As he lived life to the fullest it is hoped that those of you who are left behind will endure without him. "What made him happy? Friends, traveling, dining, charity, partying and most of all free shows nature provided daily. He was an avid collector but always said his greatest collection was his friends around the world. "Fryeburg Academy was always on his mind. He graduated from this school in 1958; four years as a boarding student. The Academy gets an A plus for all its efforts for him. "Though he has a small family left he never married. His grandmother, Stella, was the family support which was rich and joyous. "He had half a dozen small businesses over the years, the longest was the ski shop at Attitash. He always said, money is only as good as what it can do for you. The ideal life is to spend your last dime as a prince, not a pauper. To die broke means you won, no one takes it to the end. "I like to think I was a man of all seasons. You see, I wrote this obituary. Keep laughing, do good deeds and most of all, have fun. Just when you start to think you have it all it starts to slip away. P.S., what did I die from? My heart stopped beating." Richard is predeceased by his father, Robert and mother, Arline, and his brother, Robert L. Jones. He is survived by his sister, Lorraine Jones of Bartlett, along with several nephews and nieces. In honor of Richard's request, there will be no funeral, however, a party for his friends, in the style he was accustomed to, will be announced at a later date. Lorraine Jones of Bartlett, N.H., passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Friday, Feb. 4, 2022. She was born at North Conway’s Memorial Hospital to Robert and Alaina B. Jones. The eldest of three children, her brother’s, Robert Jones and Richard Jones predeceased her. Lorraine grew up in Bartlett and attended Bartlett Grade School. She graduated from St. Joseph Academy in Portland, Maine. While married, Lorraine lived in Durham, N.H., El Paso, Texas, Danvers, Mass., and she settled in Claremont, N.H., for 20 years where she raised her family. She was very active in the Claremont Garden Club and the Green Mountain Home Demonstration Club.While in Claremont she was a longtime employee of Tampax. Inc. Lorraine returned to Bartlett in 1975. In 1980, she attended Houles Beauty Academy in Manchester, N.H. She then opened her own hair salon, Hair Care by L. Jones. The salon remained open for over 40 years. Lorraine enjoyed her many wonderful customers over the years. Lorraine was a parishioner of Our Lady of the Mountains Church, where she passed out the missals for years. She was enrolled in the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of the Mount Carmel by Father Matthew Schultz in the original Roman Rite.

Maggie grew up in Glen, N.H., and she graduated from Bartlett High School. She was the co-captain of the basketball team. Graduated from Barrington College in Rhode Island with a teaching degree. Margaret taught first grade for 34 years in Rochester, N.H. She and her husband Richard raised three boys. Predeceased by her husband,parents, Ivan and Myrtle Taylor, sister Carolyn and her brother Fred. Survived by her three sons, Damon and wife, Staci; Daniel and wife, Naoko; David and wife, Maegan; foster brother Carroll Young and brother Paul Taylor. Also survived by her nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. A small shout out to her pet pig Mustard Eddie Freddie Cleopatra as she loved to bring him up. No one is sure if it was a boy or girl pig. Maggie was always a devote Christian and often went to different services around the area just to mix it up over the years. The Nute Ridge Bible Chapel was her last favorite. Maggie loved to travel and she traveled to different countries.We lost count of the countries she has visited and hopefully Interpol has as well. Maggie volunteered on archaeological digs in Switzerland for a Viking boat, Tonga to study giant clams and I think she dug something up in Egypt. She loved connecting to the local people and they seemed to love her back judging by all the gifts she had accumulated. In her retirement years she would love to go antiquing and yard sale’ing to decorate her barn house. She daily went out to eat with friends. One of her favorite sayings was that she “Only had a kitchen because it came with the house”. Maggie loved to drive her golf cart around the property with the grandkids in tow. She only lost one occasionally. She liked to mow the fields on her beloved tractor. She was still driving the tractor into her 80’s until one of the mean sons took the keys away after she drove it into the garage on fire. She said she didn’t want me to have to work on it out in the field, so she raced it into the garage at top speed. That’s kind of the same way she drove her car also. Never knew anybody who got more warnings and never a ticket than her. Mom loved flowers and would pick wild ones for the barn house. Particularly purple ones as that is her favorite color. But she hated dandelions. I’m not sure if she hated yellow? She would hand pluck a thousand of them in 90 degree heat in her 70’s and put anybody to shame that tried to keep up and passed out face down in the dandelions like a wimp. We could continue on with this trend for some time. But we would ask that folks coming to the Celebration of Life take a moment to write down on a card an event or memory of Maggie that makes them smile. Names can be omitted if there are any active investigations you would rather avoid answering embarrassing questions about. We will have a board to post them all on at the reception for friends to share and reminisce. In honor of her favorite color, please consider accessorizing your attire with something purple. In her remembrance, if you would like to make a donation - please consider bringing a box of school supplies to your local first grade teacher this fall. Tell them Maggie sent you. The funeral will be held on Saturday, July 29, at 10 a.m. at the Edgerly Funeral Home in Rochester. There will be a private graveside service burial at the Glen Cemetery at the convenience of the family. == Carolyn S. King passed away at Mineral Springs Nursing Home in North Conway, N.H., on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Carolyn was born in Bowling Green, Ohio, in 1940 to Arthur and Dorothy Schooner and was the oldest of four children. Carolyn S. King She met her best friend and beloved husband William King in 1960. In Virginia Beach, Va., Bill served in the Navy and Carolyn was a devoted military spouse and mother. They lived in New York, Virginia and West Germany. _________________________ Joe Kerins, 91, passed peacefully at his home in Center Conway, N.H., on Nov. 24, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Patty, four children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Born Oct. 20, 1932, in Philadelphia, Joe was the eldest and last survivor of five brothers who remained close throughout their lives. He was devoted to his parents, Ethel (née Connolly) and James Kerins. He served in the Navy during the Korean war and played semi-professional baseball before becoming a police officer for 25 years in Haddon Township, N.J. He was the local sergeant everyone knew and was responsible for training many who came after him. He was known for his patience, hard work and quick wit. Summer vacations were spent camping in National Parks all over the United State with Peg, his wife of 41 years, and their four children, Joseph (Elaine), Michael (Tammy), Jeanne (Evan) and Patrick (René). Joe and Peg fell in love with the Mount Washington Valley when they first visited in 1960 and each summer adventure included time in New Hampshire. In the 1970s, Joe coached baseball for his kids and others while Peg kept score. They bought a family vehicle that could fit almost an entire PopWarner football team or full (loud) cheerleading squad, somehow doing all of this while working shift work as a police officer. He spent many hot days on a baseball diamond, still in his black uniform, helping his kids do what they loved. One of his Babe Ruth players became a police officer, crediting his experience with Joe as the reason. Joe would often begin a story and start to laugh before he could finish. It was so infectious; we’d find ourselves laughing along before he’d even gotten to the funny part of the story. He loved providing a solid foundation and adventurous life for his family, joyful Christmases, and watching Notre Dame football, the Eagles and Phillies as well as later adding the Patriots and Red Sox. He would wake the family early on St. Patrick’s Day playing the family’s favorite Irish songs at full volume. Upon Joe’s retirement in 1980,Joe and Peg were thrilled to move to their chalet in Glen, N.H.They spent many evenings watching sunsets over the mountains from their beloved deck. Joe worked part-time as a bail commissioner as well as a bailiff in the Conway District Court. He joined the Eagle Mountain Golf Club where he enjoyed golfing with many wonderful friends. He was a member of the Mountain Washington Valley Old Car Club, having always been a lover of cars and all the folks who like to talk about them. You would have seen Joe many years in his ‘72 powder blue Cougar convertible in the Bartlett Fourth of July parade. “Uncle Joe and Aunt Peg” were loved by their many nieces and nephews. They began to gain grandchildren (and became known as Mom Mom and Pop Pop) starting in the late 1990s, in order of appearance, Julia, Elizabeth, Molly, Amanda, Garrett and Allie; and later great-grandchild, Cole. All loved him dearly and will miss everything about him, but especially his wry sense of humor. Peg passed in 2002, which Joe described as akin to losing his right arm. Some years later, Joe met Patty, who brought laughter back into his life — they married in 2010.Joe sold his chalet in Glen in favor of a home more suited to their needs. He and Patty chose the design of their beautiful home, where they lived together for almost a decade. They enjoyed various retirement activities including waving at the neighbors as they shared coffee on the front porch and visits with both his and Patty’s families. Joe loved Patty’s cooking and was very fond of Patty’s children and grandchildren. Weekly lunches with his ROMEO group were a highlight. He was an altar boy as a child and a devout Catholic his entire life. Joe was a member of: St. Monica’s in Philadelphia; Holy Saviour in Westmont, N.J.; St. Joseph in Bartlett, N.H.; and finally, Our Lady of the Mountains Parish in North Conway, N.H. We’d like to share special thanks for the exceptional help from Ray Rabideau, the folks at VNS and the VA as well as Joe’s wonderful neighbors (especially Chris and Michelle Mattei and Gene Brown) who are always willing to lend a hand. Patty lovingly cared for Joe until the end to fulfill his wish to be at home.

His daughters Elizabeth , Saskia and I were with him as he passed on to a much better place. He loved working with kids in local schools for years plus the joy of repairing a vintage amplifier and making it sing like it had done originally. He loved all of our rescue dogs over the years and supported me " the crazy dog lady". He drove me crazy sometimes, but he was the most caring and generous husband of almost 20 years. I miss him so much . Blessed be his memory in all the hearts of those he loved. I am so glad I could make him his favorite meal on his last birthday. Love Marilyn!

A private celebration of life will be held with family at a later date. ============================================== Michael Kerins was at all times completely and utterly himself. He never changed the way he lived his life to accommodate what other people might think. A consummate storyteller, he loved to make people laugh and never spared himself in stories, often making himself the butt of the joke. He was clever, but also never let the obvious one-liner slip past him. He was a dedicated athlete, breaking personal records for his entire life starting as the smallest player to belatedly growing to be one of the bigger adults. As a kid, he played baseball and football (a lifetime fan of MLB and NFL); then on to wrestling (high school) and cross-country running (high school and college); with some basketball and softball thrown in as an adult; ultimately focusing on cycling and volleyball in the last decade. He recently played at the USA Volleyball Adult Open National Championship and continued cycling right up until his untimely death. He played volleyball often with a crew in Meredith and Concord to ready himself for national tournaments and enjoy their company. Another passion was poker, which he played with a core group in the valley. Michael was reliable, strong, and steady. He gave the best hugs. He didn’t stand for bullies or cruelty. With loved ones, he was unfailingly kind, even sweet. He had a great love for his family and each moment they could spend together, strategically planning family vacations where they would find a beach for Tammy and good cycling paths for Michael. As a family they opened their home and family to many who sought a soft place to land. He was thoughtful and passionate politically. He applied history to put the current political climate into context and often shared these thoughts in opinion pieces in The Conway Daily Sun. From childhood (often with a flashlight after bedtime), he was a voracious reader. He excelled in his career in retail management, but chose lifestyle and extracurriculars as his priority, loving his life, family and activities above all. Most recently, he was with Adidas for 17 years, earning the MVP award and the respect of his colleagues. Michael is survived by his wife and best friend of 30 years, Tammy; their children Elizabeth (Kirk Haley) and Molly (Scott Smith); grandson Cole; and siblings Joseph “C.J.” (Elaine), Jeanne (Evan) Rothfield and Patrick (René Damen); as well as wonderful in-laws, cousins, and adoring nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Joe and Peg Kerins. A celebration of life will be held at Cranmore Mountain Resort, Thursday, June 18, from 4:306:30 p.m. In true Michael fashion, casual attire. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Michael’s honor to New England Disabled Sports at nedisabledsports.org. =============================================== Gerald Ivan James, 83, of Intervale, N.H., passed away on June 11, 2026. Born on Aug. 4, 1942, in North Conway, N.H., Gerald was the son of the late Frank James and Pansy Lantz James. He lived his entire life in the Mount Washington Valley, a true New Englander through and through. Gerald was, above all else, a family man. He married the love of his life, Gail Cotter James , on May 5, 1962, and together they shared more than 64 years of marriage. Those decades were filled with family dinners around the table, laughter that never seemed to end and stories told so many times that everyone knew the punchline but laughed anyway. Gerald had a funny saying for everything and a one-liner ready for any occasion. If you spent fi ve minutes with him, you walked away smiling. A hard worker his whole life, Gerald dedicated his time and talents to the community he loved. Over the years, he worked for Cranmore Mountain and the U.S. Forest Service. He was a familiar face to many through his work for both the town of Jackson and the town of Bartlett. Gerald installed carpet in many homes throughout the valley when he was part-owner of J & J Floorcovering. Gerald also knew how to have a good time. He was a passionate stock car racer, running the No. 23 and 32 cars at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine. The highlight of his racing career was winning the presti gious Oxford 250 — Charger Division Race, a feat that fi lled him with pride for the rest of his days. When he wasn’t behind the wheel, you could fi nd him out in the woods hunting, sitting over a hole on a frozen lake ice fi shing, tossing horseshoes, or locked in a competitive game of cribbage. He especially treasured the time he spent ice fi shing with his son Kevin, his daughter-in-law Bonnie and his grandchildren, passing along his love of the outdoors to the next generation. Gerald was a man of routine, and every morning you could fi nd him at Patches in Glen and then up to his daughter Betsy’s house, where he would have coffee and discuss what was happening in the world. Gerald and Gail shared a wonderful friendship with Dale and Jean Hamilton, and some of their happiest times were spent playing cards, going out to eat and heading off on vacations together. Those friendships, built over years of shared meals and good com pany, meant the world to him. He is survived by his beloved wife, Gail Cotter James of Intervale; his son, Kevin (Bonnie) James; and his daughter, Betsy (Dennis) Fall; grand children Brandon and Danielle James, Matthew (Jessica) James, Brittany (Thomas) Bouchie, Casey (Lauren) Mickle, Cailee (Shawn) Bergeron, and Allison (Ronnie) Fall; and seven great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son, Arthur James; his daughter, Susan James; his parents, Frank and Pansy James; his sis ters, Eileen James and Dottie James; and his brothers, Frank James Jr., Goodwin James and Lawrence James. Gerald lived a full and rich life, surrounded by the people and places he loved most. He found joy in simple things, sit ting on his porch listening to the East Branch River, tinkering in his garage or being at his great-grandchildren’s sports games. He left behind not wealth or fame, but something far more lasting: the memory of a man who showed up, who worked hard, who loved deeply and who always had something funny to say. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Gerald’s name to the American Alzheimer’s Association of N.H. and Massachusetts, 320 Nevada St., Suite 201, Newton, MA 02460, or on their website. Graveside services will be held at a later date. ============================================ KerinsMIke James-Gerald BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE

He was born in 1912 in Brockton, Mass. the second of three children born to Alvah Stimpson of Belfast, Maine and Mary Fox of Galway, Ireland. In 1936 he graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Business Administration. He opened the Intervale Ski Area in 1947, which soon became a favorite destination with a loyal following. In 1954, he married Priscilla Williams of Yarmouthport, Mass. Together with their two children, they migrated between the ski area and Cape Cod, where Dick was a tennis professional for thirty years at the Hyannisport Club. He was an inspiration to, and loved by, the children and adults who passed under his tutelage. In the spring of 1969, he closed the ski business and returned to Cape Cod on a year-round basis to devote his time to tennis instruction. With his retirement nine years later, the family moved permanently back to Intervale, taking up residence in the renovated "warming hut." Dick was an outdoorsman and artist throughout his life. Pastels and pen and ink were his preferred media; his favorite subjects were lighthouses, barns and houses of Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and the coast of Maine. His work was shown and sold through the private sector. His family includes his wife of 44 years, Priscilla, of Intervale; a daughter, Lisa, of New York City; a son, Rich and his wife, Lisa of Intervale; and a brother, Bill, of Brockton, Mass. Private services will be held at a later date. The family encourages that donations be made in his memory to the United States Tennis Association Tennis Foundation, Inc., 70 West Red Oak Lane, White Plains, NY, 10604-3602 or to the Bartlett Junior Ski Program, c/o Eastern Slope Ski Club, P.O. Box 348, North Conway, NH 03860. ---------- Priscilla Stimpson: It is with great sadness that the death of Priscilla Stimpson on Dec. 11, 2005, in Intervale, is announced. The cancer she had successfully fought off ten years before, returned and got the better of her. Born on May 11, 1929, in Worcester, Mass., to parents Haskell and Marguerita Williams, the family later moved to Cape Cod, where Priscilla discovered her love of sailing and the ocean. She graduated from high school and attended her beloved Katie Gibbs School in Boston, where she managed to paint the town red as well as acquire her valuable skills as a secretary.Various jobs ensued, and in 1954 she met and married the very charming and handsome Dick Stimpson, and together they ran the Intervale Ski Area. They made their yearly spring migration south to Hyannis Port, where Dick was the tennis pro and Priscilla ran the tennis shop. This best of both worlds arrangement continued until the fall of 1969, when they and their two children moved to Hyannis Port on a year-round basis, again teaming up at the indoor tennis courts in Hyannis, with Dick as the pro and Priscilla manning the desk. In 1979, the Stimpsons moved back to Intervale and took up residence in the warming hut of the now idle ski area. Again, Priscilla could be found behind the counter providing drinks and good cheer not to the skiers, but her many friends and family members. She worked for awhile at the Mount Cranmore Tennis Club and later began what would be a long career at the school superintendents office in North Conway. She was an essential and much loved member of that team, riding the ups and downs of office politics with great humor and wisdom. She retired in 1998 and maintained close ties with her many co-workers. She will be greatly missed by her friends there.Her years of retirement were active and fulfilling. She traveled often to the Cape to visit old friends and took trips to the United Kingdom and Ireland. After her bout with cancer, she became a member of the Healing with Friends breast cancer support group and, as one member recalled, gave her strength, compassion and much needed comedy relief to the other members. In 2000, she was diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension and participated in a clinical study that will enable the drug that helped her, to be approved and available to others next year. She was enormously grateful to the many doctors and nurses who cared for her over the years. She charmed them all.Her family and friends will miss her terribly and continue to be inspired by her. She is survived by her daughter Lisa of Brooklyn, N.Y., her son Rich and his wife Pam and their daughter Sophie, of Intervale, her sister Bunty of Yarmouth Port, Mass., as well as her neice Debby, nephews Jay and Haskell, and their families. Family and friends think she would be quite tickled by an occasional toast to her with a glass of Makers Mark. She would also appreciate any donations made to the following organizations: Jens Friends Cancer Foundation, P.O. Box 1842, North Conway, NH 03860, or Conway Area Humane Society, 223 East Main Street, Conway, NH 03818.There will be a gathering in her honor at her home in Intervale and a graveside service in Yarmouth Port, both in May. A notice will appear in the local papers with the details. ------------------------ Brenda J.

Lynn was born in North Conway on Jan. 16, 1942 the middle son of Roger (Bucky) and Freda (Johnson) Roberts of Glen. Lynn was a hard worker all of his life and worked for various contractor's throughout the state. He started as a young man working for Burton Patch as a plumber apprentice and installing heating appliances. Lynn spent a good portion of his life in the construction industry working for the Bartlett Highway Department, R. S. Audley, A. J. Coleman's, and most recently A. Eastman and Son. Lynn also worked at the Kearsarge Peg Mill, Tyrol and Intervale Ski areas as well. Lynn also owned and operated his own dump trucks with his eldest son, Pat, for a few years. Lynn also owned the Glen Village Property and Maintenance and was a highly skilled, very particular carpenter who built and re-modeled several homes in the Mount Washington Valley. Lynn would put his heart and soul into his building projects with the meticulousness of a piano maker. Lynn's latest project was picking up the pieces of his home and property after it was devastated by Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011. Lynn's skill, craftsmanship, and attention to detail can be seen in the finished product of his home after making the repairs with the help of Jeff Johnson following Irene. Lynn dedicated the remainder of his life achieving his goal of being back into his home. Lynn was absolutely overwhelmed by the outpouring of the generosity of the people and business owners who stopped by to help, donate furniture and appliances, or offer a free meal. He really wanted to publicly thank everyone who eased his burden during this troubling time but became ill shortly after finishing his home. Please be assured that each and every one of you who stopped to help or offer an encouraging word held a very special place in his heart. When he spoke of this outpouring, he would become very emotional and was overwhelmed by the love and true compassion of the people of the valley. Lynn was interested in contributing back to his community. He was a member of the Glen Fire Department, member of the Bartlett Zoning Board of Adjustment, and caretaker of the Glen Cemetery. Lynn had a great sense of humor and was an avid story teller who loved to tell tales of the old days which he embellished only about 98 percent of the time. You would leave after listening to these tales, laughing to the point of tears. Lynn was pre-deceased by his parents, Bucky and Freda Roberts; his brother, Gene Roberts; his wife, Judy; and his best friend and youngest son, Mike Roberts. Lynn is survived by his son, Pat Roberts and his wife, Rose, of Glen; a daughter, Dianne Roberts and her boyfriend, Oscar, of Conway; son, Andy Roberts and his girlfriend, Lynn, of Tampa Fla.; his companion Charlotte Linde.

He was happy to sit, over coffee or a beer, talking and reminiscing at Hansel & Gretel, Big Bear's Place, Patch's, Corner Store, Stanley's, Glen Junction, and too many more to list. He was quick to offer a hand to an acquaintance or a stranger. He had been a member of the Bartlett Fire Dept in the late 1970s to early 1980s.

She grew up with her brothers in Cambridge, Mass., and, after high school graduation, went on to complete her Bachelor’s degree in education at Salem State College. While teaching at Bartlett, she went back to school to earn a master’s of education in reading from the University of New Hampshire. Beth’s pride was teaching and she shared her passion for learning with thousands of children and adults in the Mount Washington Valley throughout her more than 35 years of teaching. Beth loved reading, writing, sewing and took any opportunity to bask in the warm sunshine on the beach. She was the happiest when she was smiling with the people she cared about. Beth’s infectious smile, strength, resiliency and genuine care for others was truly exemplary. In her passing she would want us all to be kind, to lean on each other, and to try to make this world a better place for our neighbors and the next generation. We know that she is in a better place now — smiling in the glistening sunshine, listening to the waves roll in, fi nally at peace. The family will be holding a small service this weekend.

He spent his childhood in Pennsylvania, and after his mother’s passing, as a teenager he was a stepson to Alma May Michal Richards, whom he always considered a second mother. He went on to proudly join the Army from 1962-65, which gave him an enormous amount of pride throughout his life. After discharge he spent time in Massachusetts before joining the Wedlin Ski Club, which brought him to the Mount Washington Valley, where he met his wife, Elizabeth Richards.

Published in Cape Cod Times on Feb. 6, 2005. === James “Jim” Cornelius Sheehan Jr. CAPE ELIZABETH – James “Jim” Cornelius Sheehan, Jr., 82, son of James Cornelius Sheehan and Mary Elizabeth (Marion) Hayden Sheehan, born Sept. 27, 1940 in Stratford, Conn., passed peacefully at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022. Jim’s fiery spirit is carried on by his daughter, Colleen Taintor (husband Chris, son Michael and fiancée Jesse Yabrosky, daughter Emily McIntyre and husband David, and son Brian and partner Tobey Solomon-Auger), his son, Jim (wife Maria, children Danielle, Jimmy, and Sydney); his sister, Marybeth Walsh; and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, family, and friends from every stage of his life, too numerous to name but not to be forgotten. Jim was predeceased by his beloved wife and son, Kathleen, and Michael, who died in 2009, and 1972 respectively. Jim was born and raised in Stratford, Conn. As a young man he worked in construction, which he really loved. Jim and Kathleen met at Miss Comer’s dancing school when they were in 7th grade. Kathleen then attended Laurelton Hall and Jim attended the adjacent Fairfield Preparatory School, convenient for the romance to continue to flourish. After he and Kathleen were engaged, he built their first home by hand in Huntington, working on it afternoons and evenings after long days on the job site. They were married Nov. 4, 1961, shortly after Kathleen’s graduation from nursing school. In the spring of 1970, while living in their second home in Huntington, raising three young children, Jim convinced Kathleen to move to New Hampshire and buy the Linderhof Motor Inn, which they owned until 1975. During those years, despite arriving with virtually no hospitality experience, the two and their partners built their lodging, dining, and apres ski establishment into one of the finest in the Mount Washington Valley. The revelers endured long lines in the cold to earn their spot to dance the night away to live music almost every weekend all winter long. After selling the Linderhof, Jim spent many years working happily in the beer distribution business, first with Silver Brothers and later with Amoskeag Beverages. He loved the visits to the Valley from Miller Lite celebrities, including Larry Bird, Ray Nitzscke, and a host of others from the era. Jim was enormously proud of being a founding father of the annual Mud Bowl, a slippery, fun-filled event benefiting the North Conway Community Center, now in its 46th year. He looked forward to the festivities and antics every year, and was honored to be chosen as the Grand Marshal of the Mud Bowl parade in 2010. The lifelong friends he made while with Amoskeag include the owners of the company, who valued his hard work and good humor, and the many young people he mentored as they started out in the business. He was a demanding but thoughtful boss who made an indelible impression on everyone he worked with. After retiring from Amoskeag in 2002, Jim and Kathleen enjoyed traveling and camping in some great places, like the National Parks, the coast of Maine, along the bikeways in Canada, and wherever their friends found a great lake for paddling, and biking trails. His grandchildren were especially delighted by Jim and Kathleen’s fifth-wheel RV, a big step up after a childhood of tent camping and the site of many cherished memories. Later in retirement, Jim embarked on yet another career, this one as a shuttle bus driver at Attitash/Bear Peak. There, he made friends with all of the lifties on his early morning rides, and enjoyed the time he spent with the children and their families on their way to and from the slopes. All who knew Jim were blessed to be a part of his many passions and interests, especially his love of skiing. He and Kathleen shared annual ski trips – throughout New England, and in Colorado, Utah, and Whistler – with their close friends from the Mt. Washington Valley, and later with their children and grandchildren. He and Kathleen rarely missed a ski day with all of the grandchildren, and fostered their love of the sport, dutifully packing and carrying their equipment; sneaking them orders of fries before, during, and after long ski days; and packing M&Ms in their pockets to make sure they had a steady stream of chocolate during their longest days. He also schlepped up many a mountainside to cheer them on during their days racing with the Wildcat youth program. Most of all, he made skiing with his friends and family a priority, creating a magnetic community for all who were up for a few cold runs with him. Jim and Kathleen welcomed countless guests for Storyland trips, and for weekends skiing, hiking, and biking in the Valley. There was always a meal ready to share and a drink ready to be poured. Their home was warm and inviting, and generosity was a hallmark of their life together. Jim and Kathleen delighted in their volunteer roles for the Wounded Warrior events. Jim was perfectly cast as Santa, since they both loved spoiling all children at Christmas. Jim taught his children and grandchildren many lessons in his time with them. He had many talents, tackled every project with determination (some might say stubbornness), and was always willing to lend his friends a hand. He taught his grandchildren how to ride a bike, how to take no ‘you know what’ from anybody, how to savor a cold Miller Light on an even colder ski day, how to talk their way out of a speeding ticket, and how to expertly maneuver any hardware store excursion. Knowing and loving Jim has been a treat for all who had the privilege. His single-minded decisiveness, his gift for a memorable, hilarious, and sometimes profane turn of phrase, sharp sense of humor, and huge heart will be dearly missed. Jim’s family wants to extend a special thank you to the incredible team of nurses and other staff who have cared so warmly for Jim over the last six years, especially those at The Landing at Cape Elizabeth, and previously at Atria in Scarborough, who made him feel at home. A memorial service will be held for Jim from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 16 at The Red Parka Pub in Glen, N.H. The family will be planning a gathering and burial in Stratford, Conn. in May 2023. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s name can be made to: Kathleen Sheehan Memorial Nursing Scholarship at https://www.vnhch.org/ or: Good Shepherd Food Bank at https://giving.gsfb.org/ -Janet Burke Sanphy, 84, of Intervale, N.H., died Nov. 29, 2023, at home.

Box 1842, North Conway, NH 03860.- --- Geraldine Disbrow Tilton, affectionately known as “Gerry” or “Gram” passed away on July 10, 2024, in North Conway, N.H., surrounded by her family. Gerry was born in Binghamton, N.Y., on Dec. 14, 1937, to Clarence and Viola Disbrow. She moved to the Mount Washington Valley in the 1960s, quickly fitting right into the area. She lived a life marked by kindness, devotion and service to the community. Gerry dedicated 25 years as a secretary to the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. Many have spoken of how she was such an important part of their childhoods and have fond memories of her during their formative school years. She also served as a minister in many different roles for over 20 years. You could say she wore many hats. She spent countless hours every year laboring to make the best blueberry crisp which could be found at the church booth at the Fryeburg Fair. She was also a Justice of the Peace, Notary and had her own daycare while her children were young. She was a fierce advocate for victims of domestic and sexual violence and was an integral part of the creation of the Conway division of the organization Starting Point. Known for her caring nature and ever present willingness to lend a listening ear, she was often called an earth angel by those who knew her. Her love for the Lord was profound and she set an example of it every day. She found pleasure in the little things in life such as crossword puzzles and bird watching; both reflecting her peaceful and thoughtful nature. She leaves behind her legacy of kindness and service and will be cherished and remembered by all that knew her. Her family will especially miss her unique home made coleslaw as it was always a crowd favorite and requested at all family gatherings. Preceded in death by her husband of 22 years Richard Tilton ; daughter Colleen Allen ; grandson Ethan Allen; and stepson David Tilton. She is survived by her son Craig France and his wife, Nancy; son Charles Thompson and his wife, Kimberlee; stepson Dickie Tilton and wife, Linda; stepdaughter Kathleen Turner and her husband, Kenneth; stepdaughter Mary; stepson Jeffery Tilton and wife, Tracy; granddaughters, Melissa Rendleman and Jenny France; step-granddaughters, Alleson Huckaby and Sarah Talbot; grandsons, Dustin Allen, Seth Allen and Liam Thompson; great-grandsons, Jordan Devon Jackson, Ryan Rendleman, Ryon Pandora-Allen and Rhett Walker; great-granddaughters, Marilyn Allen, Beatrice Allen and Colleen Allen; and many more nieces and nephews. Every winter Gram would do a “snow dance” to hurry along winter as it was her favorite season. This winter when the first snowflakes falls, we are sure it will be her dancing up in Heaven. She will be missed by many, but she will live on in the hearts of all those whose lives have been touched by her. The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. on Aug. 10 at the First Church of Christ UCC at 2521 White Mountain Highway in North Conway.

She was born to Morton and Rowena Rogerson at Memorial Hospital in North Conway, on Aug. 12, 1947. She graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1965 and later received her Radiology Technician Certificate from United Hospital in Port Chester, N.Y. During her training in New York she met Edith Nelson who became her best friend and lifelong companion. They both visited here frequently until they embarked on their adventure out west. They lived for a short time in Fremont, Calif., before returning to Bartlett to be close to her family after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Paula and Edith had a passion for traveling, and they enjoyed many trips to many tropical islands including Hawaii, Barbados, Jamaica and the Virgin Islands. Her vacation slide shows were always a family favorite. After settling in their home in Bartlett next door to her parents, Paula followed in her mother’s footsteps with keeping vegetable and flower gardens, and canning everything including her homemade spaghetti sauce. She was a talented cook and enjoyed trying out new gourmet recipes. Family favorites include her baked mac and cheese, lasagna, homemade pizza and chocolate trifle. Paula loved to be outside in sun, whether it was playing games with the kids in the backyard, tending to her gardens, or splashing around in the river. She was happiest when she was barefoot in her cutoff shorts and a tank top, and we will always remember her big smile. She is predeceased by her parents, and her brother, Blaine J. Rogerson .

Originally from Danvers, Mass., in 1960, Cindi found her home in the Mount Washington Valley from a young age and was fortunate to be able to spend the majority of her life in the place she loved, with the people who meant the most to her. Cindi fought a long and private battle with cancer, and wanted to express her gratitude and love to Leona and the team in the Oncology Department at Memorial Hospital. Their support through this journey was one of the things she valued most these past two years. Additional thanks go to the incredible doctors and nurses who helped care for Cindi at Memorial during the last week of her life and all of her friends who have showed up to support her family during this challenging time. While she may be gone, she will never be forgotten.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Obituary The 1932 High School Ends its Life at 56 Years A Preview First In 1931 the Bartlett Special School (at left), which was built in 1890, caught fire and was totally destroyed. Life-span of forty years. Mr. Sal Manna was a high school teacher in the 1950's and he encouraged and helped operate a skating rink in the front yard. The 1890 building was replaced in 1932 with the building shown at left. It served as the high school, grades 9 - 12, until 1958. Beginning in 1959 Bartlett high-school aged Students attended Kennett High School in Conway. From 1959 onward it served as the Junior High School, grades 7 and 8, for Bartlett and Jackson. It had a large cafeteria in the basement level along with a wood shop that taught basic carpentry skills. There was a full size gymnasium on the upper floor. It's demolition in 1988 gave it a life-span of fifty-six years. This 1960ish photo shows the 1932 building and an addition for the primary grades 1-6. Grades 1 & 2 were combined as were Grades 3 &4. Grade 5 and 6 mostly had their own rooms. In some years there were too many students and grades 7 and 8 were moved to the gymnasium for a year. A series of large blankets stretched across the room to divide the two grades. The aerial photo below is dated 1952. It shows the Railroad Station at the lower right, and the school middle left. The St. Joseph Catholic Church (today's Bartlett Historical Museum) is to the left of the school building. The smaller building on the left side of the school property was used from time to time as both a Grammar School and for the High School for a short time. It was eliminated in the late 1950's to make way for the new elementary grades wing. The building next to the Church was where Dave Dudley and family lived until it burned in the 1960;s. Dave was the friendly guy in the train caboose. He always waved to the kids. The house at the top center was originally the 1896 Chapel of the Hills. It was first on the opposite side of Route 302, in front of the school, and after its life as a church, it was moved across the street and made into a residence. Wilfred Mead lived in the house at top left. On to the Main Event: Carnage and Destruction Perhaps this ending for the title of a main article is anticlimactic but I wasn't paying much attention on the day of this demolition, although I did manage to snap a few pictures and obviously I had enough interest to drive "over the river" to find out where the remains were going. That's about all I have to say about this part. ALL THAT REMAINS IS A PILE OF RUBBLE THAT GOT BURIED "OVER THE RIVER" IN A FORMER HAY-FIELD EAST OF THE GARLAND FARMHOUSE. TO END ON A HIGH NOTE, HERE IS HOW IT ALL ENDED UP IN 2025

Returning to America he became principal of the Harrington normal training school in New Bedford, Mass ., and in 1914 of the Fifth Street school in the same city, where he was at the time of his death, which occurred, 25 Aug., 1916, at his home in New Bedford, of angina pectoris, after an attack of acute indigestion.

Thank you to Mikell Chandler for providing the details surrounding this 1958 photo and for naming most of the individuals. "It was not Halloween, it was Christmas. Our pageant that year was at the Odd Fellows Hall because of work on the schools in preparation for the new school. This was the first and second grade, taught by Lucille Garland. I know the kids in hats were reindeer and elves, but I have no idea what the rest of us were (myself included). I know we did a skit and played Christmas songs with our rhythm instruments (rhythm sticks, triangles, bells, and Michael Washburn played the drum. I remember that because Mrs. Garland asked "Michael" to play the drum and I heard "Mikell" and was very excited. It was not me, however, as she told me that "Girls didn't play the drums." I was heartbroken. It was my first experience with sexism...from a woman I adored.

The Junior Ski Program: 1939 - present Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 JrSki In the winter of 1936, about the time that Carroll Reed was planning for his ski school, local notables including Dr. Harold Shedd, Noel Wellman and Chuck Emerson formed the Eastern Slope Ski Club to promote the area as a skiing destination, and to ensure that all local youths would be exposed to the new and growing sport. In the winter of 1939 the club started their Junior Program that allowed all local children to obtain ski equipment and take ski lessons; that program continues to serve all elementary school students in the Bartlett - Conway - area today.

Schools In Bartlett. Back in the "old days" the students were not brought to the school...the school was brought to the student. In 1897 Bartlett had six schools so most students were within a couple of miles of "their" school. Pictured is Jean Garland who was the School Librarian for 55 years, 1953 to 2008. Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 Share afghan The society commissioned an afghan blanket that featured the historic Bartlett Schoolhouses, pictured below. Six of the schoolhouse images on this afghan no longer exist, two still exist but as other than schools, and the center medallion represents the current school. From town report for the fiscal year ending February 27, 1897, No. 1 - Lower Bartlett; No. 2 - Glen; No. 3 - Garland Ridge No. 4 - Kearsarge; No. 5 - Hill Town; No. 6 - Goodrich Falls We assume that each of the district school houses was of the one-room variety in 1897. Four of the one-room school houses in these districts are depicted on the afghan (pic below): Lower Bartlett, Glen, Garland Ridge and Goodrich Falls. No. 1 - Lower Bartlett - The Intervale (Lower Bartlett) School, the only one-room school still in existence, is now a private residence. It is located on Route 16A in the Intervale area of Bartlett. That school was replaced with the Intervale Grammar School, built in 1938. This school educated the children of Intervale, Glen and Goodrich Falls until its closing in the late 1950s. That building, located in the lower left corner of the afghan (pic. below), still exists and now houses the Bartlett Town Hall and Town Offices. No. 2 - Glen - The Glen School was located on Route 302 approximately halfway between the Massa Schussers Ski Club and Jericho Road. It appears on the afghan thanks to Vivian Robinson Eastman and Isabelle Dana Crouse, who described the building as they recalled it when they attended school there. No. 3 - Garland Ridge - The Garland Ridge School was located along Stony Brook, which is located between the Attitash Ski Area and Roger’s Crossing, (the railroad crossing east of Bartlett Village). Thanks to Jean Garland, who provided us with an old photograph from the Library files, we were able to sketch a likeness of that one-room school house for the afghan. This school operated from 1987 until, perhaps, the 1920's. Old 19th-century municipal documents do preserve a few specific names. During the peak operational years of the Garland Ridge School (District No. 3) in the late 1800s, recorded local teachers included: Armenia Perkins Lydia Pendexter Clara Pendexter It's difficult to determine if one of these names matches the teacher pictured below: Click the image to magnify for a better look. No. 4 - Kearsarge - The Kearsarge School was located on what is now known as Hurricane Mountain Road, approximately half way between Mt. Surprise Road and Timberline Road. In the late 1800s the building is said to have been moved across the street into Conway, and Bartlett paid Conway tuition for the Kearsarge children to attend school there. This arrangement was continued until the 1930s. A time-worn photograph of this school is located in the history files at the Bartlett Library. Our picture is to the right.--> No. 5 - Hill Town - The Hill Town District is located on West Side Road, approximately two miles east of the Route 302/West Side Road intersection. (more info HILL TOWN ). All that remains of that settlement is an old graveyard and the evidence of a few of the homes. The descendants of Brian Hill and Priscilla Drown Ward, early settlers of that area, still live in Bartlett. According to the 1897 report, $15.00 was expended to move the old school and $331.96 for labor and materials was expended to build a new school in the Hill District. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a photo of either of these buildings for the 2008 afghan. No. 6 - Goodrich Falls - The Goodrich Falls School was located on old Route 16 just south of the home formerly owned by the McGraw family. We now have a pretty good idea of school days at Goodrich Falls, thanks to Marion Morton Randall, quite possibly the last known person, now living, to attend that school. Special District No. 5 - Bartlett Village - Bartlett Village Grammar School (located in the upper right-hand corner of the afghan) was built circa 1880, renovated in 1896 and burned in February 1931. The building was replaced with another in 1932. That building, titled Bartlett Grammar/High School is located in the upper right corner on the afghan. Bartlett High School was built circa 1922-23 , and is located in the upper left corner of the afghan and called Bartlett High/Grammar School. It served in that capacity until circa 1949, when it became the grammar school. The high school moved into the grammar school building and was located there until its closing in 1958. THE OLD BARTLETT SCHOOL HOUSE on HURRICANE MOUNTAIN ROAD One of our 2018 Newsletters featured an article about this little remembered school on Hurricane Mountain Road, now a private residence. (Page 6) Thank you, BHS Board Director, J. Hadley Champlin & BHS Advisor, Anne Pillion for writing this story. Scroll down to page 6 to begin the story. ( This Postcard is the Bartlett High School in the mid 1920's. Good luck deciphering the handwriting. This photo is the Bartlett Elementary and Junior High School in the early 1960's. There was a gymnasium on the upper floor. Catholic Church and the Dudley house are on this side of railroad tracks. The Bellerose house is across the railroad tracks.. Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 In the early years education did not rank very high in the priorities settlers assigned to surviving life in the wilderness. The general consensus was that there was not money, time or manpower to educate children. When Josiah Bartlett became Governor in 1805 he encouraged the State Legislature to enact School Districting, which essentially forced all of the State's communities to provide for the education of its populace. The State provided some funding for each district based on which ones needed it most, but the funding was never sufficient to cover all the costs. In the case of Bartlett, with its six districts, the voters were constantly arguing over how to divide up the funds. Raising tax money for schools was always a very difficult task and the tax collector had his work cut out for him to persuade folks to actually pay the taxes. In 1812 the town residents vetoed a proposal to raise $25 for wood to heat the school buildings and instead, each scholar would furnish his proportional share of the wood by his own labor for the ensuing winter. Most students had to travel a long distance to get to the schools and the method of transportation was entirely up to their own devices. In one case a "school-bus" was designed that consisted of a hollowed out pine log, painted blue. about twelve small children could be huddled into it and it was towed by horses or oxen. Even by 1860 the Carroll County Commissioners characterized most of the school buildings as miserable shanties or shabby huts. The endurance of these early settlers is emphasized by todays standards where a student is not expected to walk much further than the end of his own driveway and if heat cannot be provided then the school is closed. If a student were asked to bring his own fuel to heat the school there would certainly be an uprising!

In 1959 the High School students were bussed to Kennett High School in Conway. School, by John Chandler Mr. Chandler attended Bartlett High School in the 1920's This article was written in the 1950's During the period during which the U.S. was developed considerable interest in providing educational facilities for students seeking high school diplomas. A few had been fortunate enough to avail themselves of higher education at schools in Conway, North Conway, Gorham (N.H.) and in Fryeburg and Portland, Me. After very careful planning, and having dredged all obvious alternatives, a small group of persons banded together to establish a two year high school. It was housed in the precinct building in Bartlett Village and a teacher was engaged to conduct classes in the subjects essential to meet State secondary schools standards. The first classes were held in September of 1922 , with 20 students enrolled. The teacher selected for this project was William Hounsell of Conway . This proved to be a very wise choice. He was an excellent teacher and was able to maintain discipline in difficult situations. He did a fine job in preparing the students for the final two years of high school. In September of 1924, a four year High School was established with a new building (part of the elementary school) and with William Hounsell as principal. The student body was made up mostly of underclassmen. Senior students were very limited in number. Inability of the older students to attend other schools after the two year program caused a spin-off into the job market and left only two potential senior students. When school opened in September, only one senior was enrolled. The other, (myself), having been elected captain of football at Kennett High School, and wishing to avail himself of this experience, decided to remain at Kennett . The situation changed when Christmas vacation rolled around and it appeared possible for this student to attend college, provided all resources were conserved toward that end. He therefore returned to Bartlett High School in January of 1925 to finish the year and graduate. This doubled the size of the first class of graduates from B.H.S. - from one to two! Both seniors went on to attend the University of New Hampshire as undergraduates. One went on to obtain advance degrees from Harvard University, while the other followed a career in electronics and aviation. After this lowly beginning, B.H.S. went on to successfully prepare students for advance study or life in an increasingly complex world. Bartlett High School numbers among its graduates persons who have successfully followed careers in business, science and research and persons who were later engaged in advancing education. Also included among B.H.S. graduates are many scattered about the world, among them are many high ranking military personnel. In the late 1950s, for economic and other reasons, the high school was discontinued and the students began to be bused to Kennett High School in Conway. This move made available to the students more varied curriculum's and modern facilities desirable to the learning process. Bartlett, in the opinion of one early graduate , can be justly proud of its young people’s accomplishments toward better education during the early 1920's. A careful study of the record seems to indicate that when it comes to a high school, big is not necessarily better. Mr. Chandler's Note: Bartlett High School graduates might be interested to know that William Hounsell (1898-1969) continued to further his career. He became the superintendent of schools in Penacook (N.H.) before he retired to Conway, where his widow, Hazel Towle Hounsell still makes her home. EdPettengill Hayes Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2

More Railroad Pages - Menu Top Right... Wreck at Dismal Pool - 1952 Article by Dave Eliason This little article was found by this editor on a Facebook post in October 2021. The article by itself is not remarkable but it finally confirms what I always thought was a myth, since I could never find factual evidence. Namely, "That there is at least one box car down in the Dismal Pool near the Crawford Notch Gateway". Ironically, on the same day I found the article, these pictures from down in Dismal Pool appeared on another Face book post by Hutch Hutchinson of Salem, Ma. He discovered them on a little family Hike. October 2021. You can find his post on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1736669543253206/ Who knows how far you might have to scroll to find it...haha This editor would like to thank the photographer for settling this story in my mind. Now I know it is fact...not myth.
