The Intervale House, Stephen Mudgett and Sons, proprietors, was built in 1860 by W. H. H. Trickey, one of the pioneers in mountain hotelkeeping and for some years later proprietor of the Jackson Falls House. The Intervale was then a small house compared with its present proportions. In 1871, Frank Mudgett and Alfred Eastman purchased the hotel. They retained the manager of the house until 1874 when Stephen Mudgett bought out Mr. Eastman's interest and took charge of the business with his sons, Frank A. Mudgett and Herbert Mudgett and thus the firm has remained ever since. Additions have been made to the house from time to time, the most extensive being the large wing added on the easterly side in the fall of 1883. When the frame for this had been raised the great gale of November blew it down, but the Mudgetts, nothing daunted, prepared and raised a new frame. This addition was a great improvement. It gave the house a beautiful large parlor with a smaller parlor on one side and a children's dining room on the other. Both parlors have magnificent fireplaces of vast dimensions. They are handsomely finished and furnished. There was also added at this time a spacious dining hall with a seating capacity of two hundred. A wide piazza extends nearly around the whole house, giving a promenade of over 400 feet. On the lower floor in the older part of the house are a large office in the front end, a private office, billiard and reading rooms, two or three reception rooms, etc. There are five handsome fireplaces in this section of the house, that in the office being a strikingly large one. Extensive improvements were made about the office this spring (1887). Besides the changes in the north wing, the ceilings of the dining room and parlors were beautifully frescoed and the walls tinted, while the walls and ceilings of the rest of the house were tinted and the outside painted. Improvements were made in the sanitary arrangements. The Intervale table is second to none in the White Mountains. Mr. Mudgett, senior, looks after the food supply; Frank Mudgett thas the general management of the rooms and the assignment thereof; while "Bert's" specialty is the stable, and it is the best equipped of any in this section. A large cottage near the main house offers a few good rooms for those who desire to escape the noise and bustle of the hotel. The telegraph office is in one corner of this cottage. A plank walk leads to the station from the hotel. Croquet, tennis and ball grounds, billiard table and bowling alley, present a wide range for choice of lighter diversions. The Intervale House was destroyed by fire in 1923. The Bellevue, J. A. Barnes, proprietor, stands on the knoll just beyond the Intervale. It is a sightly location and one excellently adapted for perfect drainage and to insure health and comfort. Mr. Barnes built this house himself in 1872, and for fifteen years has been its popular landlord and proprietor. Hundreds of New England people have found here a pleasant summer home. In the fall of 1886, the house was very materially enlarged by the addition of an L to the rear which nearly doubles its capacity. The house now accommodates about seventy guests, all in good rooms. It is kept open from the first of June until the last of October. The Bellevue was destroyed by fire in 1938. More info & Pics The Pendexter Mansion about three minutes walk to the north of the station, is one of the most charming houses in this section. It, too, commands an unobstructed view of the Intervale and the mountains around it. This house, which accommodates fifty guests, was built by Mrs. C. C. Pendexter in 1872, and has always remained under her excellent management, and maintained a reputation for being homelike. An addition was made to the cottage in 1886, and other recent improvements serve to render this mansion attractive; many of its rooms are heated and the house is open the year round. Its winter night suppers for sleighing parties are famous. For regular boarders it is open from the first of May until the last of October. The Langdon House, directly opposite the Mansion, is the newest boarding house of the Intervale group; that is, as a hotel of any size. Previous to 1884, the Pendexters had taken a few boarders in their farm house, but had been unable to find room for all who desired to tarry with them: so, in the spring of '84, they built a large addition to the house and remodelled the original part. The Langdon now has twenty-five good new fresh rooms, every one looking out on more or less mountain scenery. The table is largely supplied from the home farm. Mr. John Pendexter, an old resident of the village, and his son J. Langdon Pendexter, now manage the house. It is open to receive guests as early in the season as they wish to come and will provide for them until winter sounds the bugle for the return. Langdon House burned in the 1920's and the Foss Croft was built on the same site in 1928. Other hotels are the Idlewild, (picture right) a very prettily located house nearly opposite the Intervale House. Elijah Dinsmore , in the 1850's, when he was well into his sixties may have been the first to utilize this house as a lodging establishment, primarily renting a spare room or two to passers-by. Elijah's son, Charles, continued the operation after Elijah's death. Charles's son, Fred, went into the lodging business full-time in the 1880's and named the place Idlewild. The origination of that name is unknown, but he may have got the idea from a popular walking path at the Crawford House with the same name. When Fred's wife died in the 1890's he lost interest in the business and sold out. The new owners retained the name and it operated into the 1970's when it was resold and renamed The 1785 Inn , a name it retains today (2023). Mrs. Pendexter's farm-house close by the station; and the pleasantly situated Fairview Cottage of C. A.Tasker. The last named is the northernmost of the strictly Intervale hotels and is on the road toward Bartlett, (picture next page)about half a mile. It is a pretty, fresh looking house with trees and lawns in front and a magnificent view in the rear, over the intervale and the ledges. The house bears an excellent reputation for its good table and pleasant rooms. (Website editors note: Due to inflation, $1.00 in 1880 is the equivalent of $20. in 2008, So 20 cents car fare then would be the equivalent of about $4.00 today) And now a word as to the cost of things at the Intervale. Board at the Intervale House is from $10.50 to $16.50 per week, according to room, number in party and time of stay. At the smaller houses the rates vary from $7.00 to $12.00. Single teams for one or two persons are let for $1.00 an hour, double teams $1.50 to $2.00. People are driven to North Conway for 50 cents. The price of seats for parties of five or more in mountain wagons are usually about as follows: Base of Pequawket, 50 cents j Kearsarge village and return by North Conway, $i .00; Artists'Falls, $1.06; Conway Comer or Centre, $2.00; Fryeburg, $2.00; Echo Lake, Cathedral and Diana's Baths $1.50 (any one of these, 75 cents) ; Humphrey's Ledge (base) $1.00 and (summit) $2.00; Albany drive, $2.00; Upper Bartlett, $2.00 . Jackson, $2.00; Pinkham Notch and Glen House, - £4.00. The car fare between North Conway and Intervale is 15 cents; return tickets Intervale to North Conway, 20 cents. Fare to Glen Station 15 cents; to Fabyan's $2.00; go and return same day, $3.00. A regular train will run from North Conway and Intervale to Fabyan's in the morning to connect with the train up Mt. Washington and with trains over the northern and western roads. It will return to North Conway at night. There are usually four trains each way between the Intervale and Fabyan's . There are various routes to Intervale . From Boston the most direct is over the Boston and Maine road to North Conway, thence over the Portland and Ogdensburg. The trains run through the Notch from Boston and no change of cars is required. The Maine offers two routes . By the Eastern division we go through Lynn, Salem, Newburyport, Portsmouth, Great Falls, etc., passing also the noted summer resorts of Swampscott, Beverly and the Hamptons. Trains usually leave at 9.30 A. M. and 1.30 p. M., though this may be varied slightly from year to year. The former is known as the " Flying Mountaineer " and reaches Intervale about 2.10. p. M. By the Western division passengers go through Lawrence, Haverhill, Exeter, and Dover, and join the Eastern division trains at Great Falls. The trip may be made over the Boston and Maine to Portland and thence by the Ogdensburg. A somewhat longer but not less interesting route is that over the Boston and Lowell to Fabyan's, thence down through the Notch by the Ogdensburg. The Portland and Ogdensburg railroad is one of the masterpieces of nineteenth century engineering. From Portland to Glen Station it passes through a beautiful rural section. Beyond Glen Station it. lies along a mountainous region, cutting into the flinty spurs, spanning chasms, deep and wide, and frequently crossing rushing rivers. One of the most enjoyable routes to the mountains is by the boat from Boston to Portland, thence over the Ogdensburg. The steamers of the night line run every night, leaving India wharf, Boston, at seven o'clock in summer, and at five the rest of the year. Usually, the boats of this line run day trips for a month or two of summer leaving at 8 A. M. The boats of this line are finely appointed. The steamers of the International line leave Commercial wharf Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 8.30 A. M. for Portland and St. John, in summer. They reach Portland at 4 p. M., in time to take the evening train for Intervale. A day trip from Boston to Portland on the boat on a pleasant day is one of unsurpassed attractiveness among all our local ocean travel. The Ogdensburg road connects at Portland with the Maine Central to Mt. Desert and St. John, and people leaving Intervale in the forenoon can be at Bar Harbor for supper. At Bangor, the Bangor and Piscataquis road branches off for Moosehead Lake, the great New England fishing ground.

Nevins 1887 THE PENDEXTER MANSION THE LANGDON HOUSE A FEW OTHER INTERVALE CHOICES IN 1897 A TRAVELLER'S QUESTION ANSWERED: HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST? It is impossible to estimate the number of summer-visitors who now enter the White-Mountain region in 1887. One railroad alone claims to have carried 160,000 in one season. It is said that over $3,000,000 are spent in the State every year by pleasure-travelers. Fogg's Stalutical Gazeteer says that the annual income from summer-tourists in 17 towns near the White Mountains is 636,000; in 16 towns near the Franconia Mountains it is $300,000; and in 14 towns in the lake-country it is $ 340,000, — making an aggregate of $ 1,276,000, exclusive of the receipts of several of the great mountain-hotels, the Maine and Vermont border-towns, and the railroads, which would probably swell the sum to above $ 2,500,000. Estimated date 1900: The Photo Above is near the Intervale Scenic Vista. Today's viewer might recognize Cathedral Ledge and the Moat mountain range. The large white building you can see in the center was the Intervale House . The little white house towards the right side is Today's 1785 Inn - back when this photo was taken it was the Idlewild Inn . The building at the upper far left was the Clarendon Inn , which was destroyed by fire. The barns all belonged to the Cannell Family, both then and now although one was demolished to make way for the Vista Auto Shop which is there today (2020). The long barn at left was a bowling alley.

Garland Demolished The Store is the building at left, White building is the IOOF Hall and the Hellen Hayes house Harold & Agnes Jacobson. Son, Arthur, died in 2024 This building was originally known as Garland's Store on Albany Avenue. In more recent times it was a grocery store operated by Mr Wimpy Thurston followed by the Gosselins, Joe and Myrtle and their two kids David and Sue. Mr Ryle ran a kindergarten upstairs. Next, and final, operators of this store were Harold and Edith Jacobson and their son Arthur. Kids at the time might recall collecting bottles along the road and turning them in at the store for the 2 cent deposit which was usually immediately spent on penny candy. After the Jacobson's gave up the business the property 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 mostly vacant until the Hodgkins family next door purchased it and due to deterioration, the building was razed in October 2003. The vacant land is still owned by Ray Hodgkins, who live next door. ("still = 2025) Pat Barlick Quinn, A Bartlett resident photographer, took the photo's below. Joel Cook was one of the final people to occupy the building. "That was my home from 1976 to 1977 then from 1980 to 1986. Would ride my bicycle and skateboard down stairs in the empty store. Had to lug wood upstairs to feed the wood stove all winter." October 2003 - 118 years Evaporated in 2 1/2 Hours The Store in happier days - perhaps 1925

Todays Rte 16 continues to the left, about where the little brook can be seen. The large house in the center was the Crystal Hills Lodge and Ski Dorm and later The House of Color operated by Les and Meg Brown. The little cottage complex (upper right) was known as Castner's Camps. Todays Dunkin Donuts is located approximately in the upper center area. Photo credits: Alan Eliason, Top and Steve Morrill below. chinese AERIAL PHOTO DETAIL: Our earliest knowledge of the smaller farm house near the upper center is that it was part of the Charles Farm. "The Chinese Shop" is picture at right. It is located in the vicinity of the Dundee Road on Rte 16A, know today as the 1773 House. Paul Mayer tells me, " It's the oldest Home in Bartlett. It is an example of a gunstock corner timber frame. Here is a painting from the other side done by Frank Shapleigh in the 1800's. I lived in the house for 5 years. It was originally owned by the Meserves." Steve Morrill of Madison tells me that this was his Grandparents shop in 1924. His Grandmother, Gertrude, lived in China from 1913 to 1918 and his Uncle Stephen was born there. Stephen was a Captain in the OSS working alone behind enemy lines in Northern Italy during WW2. His mission was to blow up Brenner Pass to stop Nazi supply lines. He was captured and Executed in 1945 The Chinese Shop in Intervale The oldest Home in Bartlett. It is an example of a gunstock corner timber frame. Here is a painting from the other side done by Frank Shapleigh in the 1800's. Paul Mayer sent me this painting below. BOOK REFERENCE: The Brenner Assignment: The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of World War II Kindle Edition Like a scene from Where Eagles Dare, a small team of American spies parachutes into Italy behind enemy lines. Their orders: link up with local partisans and sabotage the well-guarded Brenner Pass—the Nazis' crucial supply route through the Alps—thereby bringing the German war effort in Italy to a grinding halt. Brown Crystal Hills Lodge and ski dorm; later the house of color Wendy Brown Bridgewater, (Les Brown's daughter) who lived at the House of Color in the 1950-1960 era told me the house across the street from Crystal Hills Lodge (shown on aerial photo above) was occupied by May Young who had some affiliation with the Glen Baptist Church Choir. She was later affectionately known as "the cat lady" when she moved up the road a bit to a trailer with about 40 cats. When the Rte 16 by-pass was built I'm supposing the house was in the way and was eliminated. Below is Carl, Les, Meg and Wendy Brown perhaps 1956 or there-a-bouts'. They operated both the Lodge/Ski Dorm and later transitioned to The House of Color, a massive gift shop with thousands of items. They also featured a large display of native minerals and was a popular advice center for visiting "rock hounds" which was a popular past-time at the time. house of color Estimated date 1900: This Photo is near the Intervale Scenic Vista.

In the late 1840s, John Hatch decided to give up his farm in Chocorua and move to a new one in Bartlett. He bought a homestead just below Benjamin Pitman’s place on the eastern slope of what was then known as Thorn Mountain, moving with his wife and two sons into a house that may have been built by the previous owner, Noah Sinclair. It would remain in the Hatch family for more than a century. Thorn Mountain Road was little more than a trail, which may have made the farm a bargain. Hatch and his sons, Ivory and Lorenzo, found Ben Pitman an accommodating neighbor, as neighbors often are in isolated communities, and he let them use part of his pasture until they cleared their own.

(2023) Fairview The Fairview Farm and Inn Lodging Preface Upper Village Area Glen Area Intervale Area Historic Lodging Map The Fairview Hotel was built in 1854 by Cyrus Tasker who both managed and owned the property which he purchased from John Pendexter, Jr. Cy rus expanded the property when he bought the adjoining lot and homestead from the Reverand James McMillan. Cyrus died in 1888 and left the Hotel and 1800 acres to his son William. Prior to Cyrus's death William had focused his attention on the farm but as Cyrus aged William also managed the Hotel. Mary Todd Lincoln was an overnight guest here when she came to ascend Mt. Washington and President Franklin Pierce spent two weeks one year, . In 1896 the original Fairview was destroyed by fire, was rebuilt but only survived until 1919 when it was again the victim of fire. In 1920 the farmhouse on the property was enlarged and became the Tasker family house until 1933. In 1945 Peg and Ted Weeden purchased the property and 60 acres along with the house next to the barn (now Limmers). The Weeden's used that second house as a country store, gift shop and gas station. The barn became a dance hall, Harmony Acres (Intervale Playground). The main house and seven cabins behind it were opened to tourists and Mrs Weeden provided breakfast and dinner. A later owner was Dallas Verry who sold it to Joe and Evelyn Rivers in 1979. During the late 1980's the cabins were demolished and replaced with a number of Townhouse type dwellings that occupy the property to this day (2020).

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Historic Lodging Places Intervale Area THE NEW ENGLAND INN Has a long and interesting history. We will post it here when it's all put together. Before it was the New England Inn it was 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. The Hampshire House , across the street from the Inn. was acquired by the Inn and later remodeled to a more modern era. Intervale Page 1 Intervale Page 2 Intervale Page 3 Intervale Page 4 Intervale Page 5 Previous Anybody ever heard of "Broadview" in 1924 ? May 2011: Judy Curtis & Eliza Jane Curtis Know all about this cottage and provided the following information: This was one of two neighboring summer cabins built in the early 1900's by each of the Burdett brothers, who founded Burdett College in Boston . The cabins are still standing, on Burdett Road (off 16A, across from Intervale Farm) in Intervale. The uphill cabin, built by C Fred Burdett, was named Intervale Overlook and the lower cabin (pictured on this postcard) was named Intervale Broadview . This cabin was built as a summer house for Charles Burdett and his wife Anna Burdett, who had two daughters, Camilla and Anne, whose signature is on that postcard. Their year-round residence was at 7 Mishawum Road in Woburn, Mass , which is now home of the Woburn Historical Society. Charles was the artistic one of the two brothers, excelling in calligraphy, hence leading into the business school. His delight in artistry can be seen in the Japanese influenced roof line of the cottage. The cabin pictured on this postcard is no longer in the Burdett family, though the other more rustic cabin, Overlook, remains in the Burdett family. NOTE: Here is a link to the Burdett mansion i n Woburn, now home of the Woburn Historical Society: Pittman Pitman Hall was spectacular while it lasted. Built in 1905 it burned in 1930 The Pitman Family were an industrious lot for sure. One can find their name attached to at least a half dozen substantial hotels in the Intervale Area. Some were Judges, Lawyers, Pharmacists, teachers, or just plain ole farmer folk. You can read a full accounting of each relative and what they did at this link.

By the 1940's The Emerson's owned the Inn. The Emerson's eventually sold to the New England Inn and it was renamed The Hampshire House. In 1984 the building was demolished and replaced with the building that is there today (2025) Intervale Page 1 Intervale Page 2 Intervale Page 3 Intervale Page 4 Intervale Page 5 Lodging Preface Upper Village Area Glen Area Intervale Area Historic Lodging Map NewEnglandInn BloodgoodFarm Hampshire House EmersonInn MapleVilla Broadview Burdett Pitman Hall

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Titus Brown's Inn 1805 Upper Bartlett Recent Research About Titus Brown's Inn (Tavern) (Stage Stop) Titus Olcott Brown operated his inn in Upper Bartlett, New Hampshire, for only a short period—around 1805— rather than the full stretch from 1800 to the 1830s. Timeline & Operation: Titus Brown moved through the White Mountain Notch to Bartlett following financial setbacks in Lancaster, NH, where he had been a prominent merchant and mill owner. He ran the Bartlett inn for just a few years around 1805 before relocating to Gray, Maine, in 1811 to operate Brown's Tavern (formerly Heaney's Tavern), and later moved to Norway, Maine, in 1833. Later Names: After Titus Brown departed, the establishment continued under new management and was known as Stillings Tavern and later The Upper Bartlett House. Location: The historic inn stood directly across the street from present-day Mountain Home Cabins in Upper Bartlett. REFERENCES/SOURCES: (Where did you find this information) Town of Gray Official Records & Historical Society: The town's historical records confirm that Titus O. Brown (1764–1855) relocated his family from New Hampshire to Maine in 1811 after purchasing Heaney's Tavern (renamed Brown's Tavern) in Gray Corner. William Berry Lapham's History of Norway, Maine (1886): Local histories document that Titus O. Brown operated his tavern in Gray until 1833 before relocating to Norway, Maine, where he partnered with his son-in-law Amos Purington to run the local hotel (formerly the Beal Hotel) through 1842. Rev. Benjamin G. Willey's Incidents in White Mountain History (1856): Regional histories record Titus O. Brown as an early entrepreneur who raised the first commercial tobacco shipped through the White Mountain Notch from Lancaster, NH, before operating a stage tavern on the mountain route through Upper Bartlett in the mid-1800s. White Mountain Historical Records & Stage Stop Annals: Historical accounts of the Upper Bartlett road document that following Titus Brown's departure, the property location was taken over by the Stillings family (Samuel and later Capt. Nicholas Stillings), who expanded the wayside stage stop into Stillings Tavern and built the Upper Bartlett House nearby on Route 302. Stillings Tavern (which became known as The Upper Bartlett House) was completely destroyed by a structure fire in April 1879. Ownership: After Titus Brown departed, Peter and Samuel Stillings established the property, and Captain Nicholas T. Stillings—Samuel's son and a local stagecoach entrepreneur—purchased the farm in 1846. By 1854, he had constructed the expanded two-story inn on the site. The 1879 Fire: On April 3, 1879, a fire that originated in a defective chimney swept through the property, destroying the tavern stand and all associated outbuildings. Losses: Nicholas Stillings suffered an estimated loss of $5,000—a substantial sum at the time—and carried no insurance on the property. Fortunately, his family was away at the time of the blaze. This link has much information about the Stillings Family but pictures are hard to find. https://www.bartletthistory.net/first-settlers-of-bartlett The source of this photo only described it as one of the first stage stops in Upper Bartlett. The location description seems to match. This begins the previous information...some agrees. The Inn was operated by Titus Brown for only a few years, probably about 1805. For Mr Brown it was a mid point in his life, coming from a prestigious background in Lancaster. After a few years in Bartlett he went on to Gray and Norway Maine where he operated successful lodging operations. It was later known as Stillings Tavern and then The Upper Bartlett House. You would have found this establishment across the street from present day Mountain Home Cabins. Snippet from the Gray Maine Register 1905: During the days when traveling was done by stage coaches the many public houses scattered along the lines of conveyance were places of great activity and the centers of interest. Many of these were located within the town of Gray. The Elm House was built by Daniel Haney previous to 1800, and was occupied by him until 1804. Titus O. Brown, father of John B. Brown, of Portland, 24 Gray^ Maine was the next landlord. A few years later Mr. Brown went to Norway when he sold the Hotel and his residence next door to Theophilus Stimson, the father of the donors of the Stimson Memorial Hall. Mr. Stimson kept the old hotel for many years. This is now operated by Geo. O. Stevens.

In 1786 or soon after, Mr. Brown settled in Lancaster, N. H., and seems to have been one of the wealthier class. He lived first on what he called "Great Brook Farm," on what is now known as Otter brook. There he raised the tobacco that formed the first article of commerce shipped through the White Mountain Notch road toward the seacoast from Lancaster. This tobacco reached the ocean at Portland. An elm tree planted by Titus O. Brown in 1795 stands on Maine street, Lancaster today (1908). For some years Mr. Brown was one of the leading business men of Lancaster, kept a stock of goods at the south end of Main street, near the south end of the bridge on the west side of the street. The building still remains. Mr. Brown built a sawmill, a gristmill and a fulling mill in Lancaster. By the terms of the lease of the water power, he undertook to build a sawmill, Dec. 1, 1792, and a grist mill "with a good bolt" key Dec. 1, 1793, and a fulling mill Dec. 1, 1794. He erected a sawmill and had R. C. Everett build a grist mill one hundred feet long and three stories high, in which was a carding and fulling mill. This mill was burned some time previous to 1800 and rebuilt on the same site by Mr. Brown. He is said to have been engaged also in the hotel and transportation business. He accumulated property and was able to give his children a substantial education, but meeting with some reverses, he accepted an agency of parties (similar to chapter 11 bankruptcy) engaged in the land and lumber business, and removed with his family through the notch into the town of Bartlett. After a few years there he removed to Gray Corner and kept the hotel at that place. This period was a difficult one for business people because the international trade situation was chaotic, as was the domestic monetary and credit situation. There were many bankruptcies during the period. However, it appears that Titus left Lancaster with some of his resources intact because he was able to procure property when he arrived in Gray, his next home. In 1811 he moved to Gray Corner, Maine, where he kept a very popular and well-known hotel, Brown's Tavern (formerly Heaney's Tavern), until 1833. He knew many people on this route following the Androscoggin River from Bethel, Greenwood, Norway, Poland, Gray, and then on to Portland. This route was well traveled and the fact that he knew so many people along the way meant that Brown's Tavern became a popular place to stay. However, Titus did not like people bringing food and drink into his lodging place and put a stop to the practice. It is believed that his business suffered as a result. In Gray there is a Brown Street named for (and given in part?) by Titus. For many years the street was private. Titus's name shows up in Norway as owner of a pew in the Congregational Church. This may actually be his son Titus Jr., who may have preceded him to Norway. About the year 1833, with his son-in-law, Amos Purington, he removed to Norway and there bought out the hotel which they carried on until about the year 1842. The reason for the move may have been that his son Titus Jr. already resided in Norway and because of Titus Sr.'s advancing years. He was 69 at the time. he bought out the Beal Hotel in 1833 and operated it with his son-in-law until 1842. He remained in Norway until his death in 1855 at the age of 91. His son, Titus Olcott, Jr., lived across the street from his father, and his farm homestead was known as "Steep Falls." Titus or Titus Jr. occupied pew No. 12 in the Congregational Church. We believe land for the cemetery in which he and Susannah are buried was given by Titus. Titus is described in a History of Norway as a "gentleman of the old school," a member of the Congregational Church, a very good citizen, and a popular landlord. "It would have been far better for the village and persons owning property in the vicinity if the business had continued under Mr. Brown's and Mr. Purington's management for there, in all human probability, would not have been the incendiary fires which occurred in 1851 under Anthony Bennett's ownership...." Looking at Titus's life as a whole, one can only conclude that he was a very able and successful entrepreneur and a contributor to the public good. He and his wife Susannah were successful as parents also, judging from what we know of their children. His son Titus Jr. was a successful businessman in Norway, his son John was a general in the Civil War, a trustee of Bowdoin College in Maine, and an initiator of many public buildings and improvements in Portland and neighboring towns. Titus was clearly a respected man in his community. Susannah died on the 30th of October 1851 at the age of 80 and was buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery in South Paris, Maine. Titus followed her in February 1855, and was buried with her. Titus O. Brown married Susannah, daughter of Isaac and Susannah (Johnson) Bundy, of Walpole, N. H. She was born Dec. 19, 1771, and was a descendant of John Bundy, who came to Plymouth in 1643, and later resided at Boston. Children: Frances, Susannah, Abigail Hatch, Titus Olcott, Persis Hatch, John Bundy, Susan Johnson, Mary Ann, Elizabeth Fox and Sarah Adeline. stillings Upper washer Anchor 3 Anchor 4

_______________________________________________________________________________ BARTLETT FAMILIES submitted by Marcia Clemons Dolley Early this spring, (2010) Deborah Tasker Sena contacted the Bartlett Historical Society website asking for help with her genealogical search. She had been working on her family genealogy and was planning a summer visit to New England in search of her roots. Dave Eliason asked if I could help her with her search of the Bartlett Taskers, and so we began an email conversation which lasted for many months. Bartlett was added to her “must see” places to visit once we were able to supply her with gravestone information for Taskers of Bartlett. Then on Thursday, July 22, Gary and I drove over to the University of New Hampshire library and enjoyed an ever-so-brief visit with Deborah and her niece, Kim as they were finishing up their day of genealogical research there. She has compiled an amazing amount of thoroughly documented research on the Tasker family. Deborah is descended through her father, George Waldemere Tasker; her grandfather, Frederick W. Tasker; her great grandfather, George Frederick Tasker; her great, great grandfather, James Bassett Tasker; and, her great, great, great, grandfather, Jonathan Tasker who was married to Belinda Bassett; and, her great, great, great, great grandfather Jonathan Tasker who was married Comfort Seavey and settled in Bartlett on what is now known as the Rogers farm. Jonathan Tasker, Sr. was a descendant of John Tasker who emigrated from England and settled in Madbury, NH. The Tasker family was located in Bartlett in the late 1700’s, possibly settling there between 1780-1790. Jonathan, the elder, was moderator at the first town meeting held in Bartlett on July 9, 1790. Along with John Pendexter and Enoch Emery, Jonathan served as the first board of Selectmen. In addition to selectman, he also served as town clerk for many years as well as on a committee with Enoch Emery and Samuel Cotton “to look out and locate roads.” Jonathan is believed to have died ca. 1805 in Bartlett. The Tasker family of Bartlett married into the Rogers family and the George family of Bartlett as well as the Bassett family of Jackson, among others. Deborah was delighted to be able to photograph the gravestones of her early ancestors at the Garland Ridge Cemetery (also known throughout the years as the Village Cemetery and the Tasker Cemetery.) She also photographed the site of the Tasker homestead, more recently known as the Rogers homestead. However, since fire destroyed the Harry Rogers house several years ago, her research of the Bartlett Taskers will not be complete until she has a photo of the original homestead. If any of our members and friends has a photo which they would care to share, Deborah will be ever so grateful. The two Tasker descendants concluded their genealogical journey with a drive through Crawford’s Notch to view the location were David Bassett (father of Belinda Bassett who married Jonathan Tasker) was located in 1790. Deborah’s research can be seen at www.noyesgenealogy.net . Another Tasker family website can be found at http://taskerfamilyhistory.org/country/usa-willad.html. Here is an interesting account of the 1834 Willey Slide and Rescue as told by Ebenezer Tasker, who was the son of a member of the rescue party. Names mentioned are Edward Melcher, Jonathan Rogers, Samuel Tuttle, Abram Allen, Samuel Stillings and Isaac Fall as members of the group. Reference to Judge Hall's Tavern and Tasker's 116 acre farm. This article was published in The New York Times, August 20, 1894. Here is a link to a PDF version of the story: New York Times Article Ebenezer is buried in the Intervale Cemetery.

Deborah Sena sent us this picture of the cemetery site. THIS INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED FROM THE CONWAY PUBLIC LIBRARY WEBSITE: WILLIAM D. TASKER, propiertor of the Fairview house, at Intervale, Carroll County, was born January 28 1852, at lower Bartlett, a son of the late Cyrus A. Tasker. The following is a brief review of his line of descent. John Tasker, the founder of the Tasker family of America, emigrated from England to this country at an early day, settling in Madbury, N.H., where his four sons - Evenezer, Samuel, John, and William - lived for some time. Ebenezer Tasker served in the French and Indian war. At one time, when out on scout duty, he stumbled on a camp of Indians, and was discovered by them. With great courage and presence of mind, he shouted, "Come on, boys!" as though leading an attack, at which the indians took flight and fled. Settling in Bartlett, about two miles below the present village, he cleared a farm, and there reared his two sons - Ebenezer and Jonathon. Seargent Jonathan Tasker, the next in his line of descent, served in the War of the Revolution, being in Colonel Reed's regiment and Captain Clay's company. He reared six children two sons, Jonathan and Ebenezer; and four daughters, namely: Polly, who became the wife of Elder Hazeltine; Lucrieta and Lurana, twins, who married two brothers, Daniel Rogers and Joshua Rogers; and Comfort, who married Benjamin F. George. Ebenezer Tasker was a lifelong farmer and one of the leading citizens of Bartlett during the greater part of his long life of eighty-four years. His worth and ability were fully appreciated by his fellow townsmen, who elected him to numerous offices of trust, including those of Selectman, Tax Collector, and Representative to the State Legislature. He married a Miss Hussum, and their children were: William, Cyrus A. Ebenezer, Eliza, John, Mary, Andrew, and Martha. William, born in 1813, for nine summers led a horse over the bridle path across Mount Washington, giving to his father the money thus earned, sixty dollars. Then going to West Newbury, Mass., he began mercantile business on a small scale by peddling combs, in which occupation he soon acquired sufficient capital to open a store there. The extent of his operations subsequently became so great that he was enabled to corner the comb market and to exchange his stock for the land on which Kansas City now stands, thus acquiring a large fortune. During the Civil War he suffered financial ruin; but, starting again with a capital of three hundred dollars, he made another fortune. Eliza, daughter of Ebenezer Tasker, married Hazen Pitman, proprietor of the Pequawket House, at Lower Bartlett. She died April 22, 1899. John, who was educated by his brother William, was Quartermaster in the War Department at Washington, D.C. He married, and reared three children: Herbert Delman, a resident of Providence, R.I.; Ida, now Mrs. Ida Avis, who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Jennie, wife of Charles McCutcheon, of New York. Mary, daughter of Ebenezer Tasker, is the wife of Thomas M. Chase, a comb manufacturer, of West Newbury, Mass. They have two children: Elwood N., who married Anna Noyes; and Emma M., who is the wife of Ezekiel Whitman. Martha Tasker married, first, W. Silver, and after his death became the wife of George Bennett. Ebenezer Tasker was a merchant and business man of Bartlett. He married KeziaLaighton, who bore him five children - Ida, John, Sarah, Mary, and Lydia.John reisded in Newburyport. Sarah, who is a tailoress at Manchester, N.H., has made a coat for every Governor of the state for the past fifteen years. Lydia married Frank Locke. Subject: William D. Tasker bio on society site Contributed by: Deborah Tasker Sena 9/1/11 Noted you posted this bio. I have seen it elsewhere and believe its from one of the 'Who Who' books about important people in the state. I believe it relies heavily on family contributed stories and lineages without any further documentation or verification. You will note that my ancestor, Jonathan- brother to Wm's father Ebenezer- is barely mentioned. Some day I will investigate that and why the family property ended up in the female line (Rodgers) instead of going to one of the sons. Anyway, there is a more documented source for the early Taskers in Madbury which has the first Nh documented Tasker as William (probably the father of the John they are referring to) although it is not clear if he was the 1st immigrant or born in the colonies. The earliest documented Tasker is a John referred to in court proceedings in Salem MA in 1647. He could have been William's father (who was born in about 1656), but that is PURE speculation, no other documentation exists to date. For anyone wanting to read about the early Taskers in Madbury, they can read it online at: http://www.archive.org/details/historyoftownofd02stac History of the town of Durham, New Hampshire : (Oyster River Plantation) with genealogical notes ([1913]) Author: Stackpole, Everett Schermerhorn, 1850-1927 ; Thompson, Lucien, b. 1859 ; Meserve, Winthrop Smith, 1838- starting p. 353 Contributed by: Deborah Tasker Sena 10/4/2013 Deborah sent us this update to the Tasker Family Tree in the form of a letter. It mentions their origins in France and three brothers coming to the United States in the early 1800's. One settled in Dover and the other two went to Bartlett and one operated a hotel in Intervale, NH. (Correction: "one operated a hotel in Intervale, NH" is actually referring to a contemporary cousin of the author, not one of the 3 brothers. Rather the descendants who stayed in Barlett. She is referring to the Taskers who owned Fairview Cottage in the Intervale. Author of letter: Bernice (Tasker) Harris- daughter of Millard Tasker and Annie Barrows, Millard was the son of James Bassett Tasker. One of the five brothers who walked from Bartlett to Haverhill. Bernice was born and lived her whole life in Haverhill. So Elijah Tasker was her uncle to operated the shoe business with her father as mentioned in the letter. (I am descended from Millard's brother, George F.) Although not completely confirmed, we believe the letter was sent to Charles Worthen, son of Lillian (Tasker) Worthen and her husband Herbert, also of Haverhill. Lillian was a daughter of the above mentioned George F. Read the letter in this PDF attached file: HERE _______________________________________________________ Deborah also wanted to share/comment on the content and claims in the letter and how she has researched them to date. Tasker arrival in Bartlett- This is later than the known facts such as Jonathan Tasker being present for the formation of the town government in 1790. 3 brothers, Dover and Bartlett- Elements of what others have determined but a big generational difference with Dover and Bartlett being simultaneously settled. The more accepted version is that we are descended from William Tasker who arrived in the then called Dover area (Madbury) in the late 1600s. His great grandsons, Ebenezer and Jonathan moved to Bartlett (although there are some versions that start with John, grand father of the pair). Huguenot orgins- There are assumptions that the Taskers were of English origin but no documentation to that effect. While Tasker is a fairly known English name it is often explained as coming from the Norman French when they invaded and, therefore, has the same root as the French equivalent name, Tascher. I found online another researcher claiming the Hugeunot connection but with a timeline more fitting to the Wm Tasker of Madbury origin. He has not responed to many requests by me and others for the documentation of the claims. I suspect it has some of the same sources as Berenice's. Is it possible, yes. Wm's arrival in Dover is very close to the date when the Edict of Nantes was revoked, and its not hard to imagine that conditions were bad just prior to the official revocation. But he would have to had come to the colonies from France, not via England (unless a transient stopover). Also there are records of Huguenot Taschers being in England in the early 1700's. I did check with the American Huguenot Society and they say some did come directly to the colonies. They do not, however, have any record in the US of a Tasker/Tascher Huguenot line. Also of interest is that Wm.'s granddson married into another Madbury family, the Demerrits, whose first immigrant Eli has been hotly debated as to his origins, including that he was Huguenot. It would make sense that coming to the colonies with no resources they would find their way to the new/cheaper land opening up, such as rural NH, and also would settle near/marry into other Huguenot families. But in the end I have more or less concluded its unlikely and possibly the result of skewed/prejudicial genealogy trying to meet people preferences as anglophiles or francophiles. Possibly with an anti-catholic overlay which makes the Huguenot connection the more acceptable. 5 brothers - Berenice is correct, there is no record anywhere for a Joshua or Joseph Tasker (others of that name have other established ancestry in Nh) including Civil War service/death, etc. Although I have not probably searched that as thoroughly as possible. Elijah on the other hand clearly existed and shows up in Haverhill directories as partner with Millard Tasker. I also found a California state census that recorded an E. Tasker in gold country. One of these days I will see if I can find a death cert to verify his parents. He certainly was not buried near any of the other Tasker graves in Haverhill. That summarizes my research to date. Hope you enjoy the document. Please let me know when it arrives. Deborah Tasker Sena October 2013 January 2014 - Deborah Tasker Sena sent this update to her research: Despite seeming to be pretty obvious, born-married-had children (or not)- died, genealogy is never that straight a path and often leads you astray on side roads or you miss a sign for a significant change of direction! This happened to me lately and I wanted to pass on my updated knowledge to anyone interested in the Taskers of Bartlett, particularly my lineage from Jonathan Tasker, son of Jonathan Tasker. In the article posted on this website by Marcia Dolley on her research for me on the Taskers of Bartlett, she mentioned my website where the lineage has been posted. For anyone who may have visited that site, this is an update on the parents of Belinda Bassett, wife of Jonathan Tasker. When I was new to genealogy back in 2010 I worked with the genealogist for the Bassett Family to determine Belinda's parentage and ancestry. The information was added to my website and indeed helped to form my first genealogical trip to the White Mtn area. The ancestry we had said her father was David Bassett who was in Hart's Location in the 1790 census. His wife Suzannah Copp was the daughter Benjamin Copp, the first settler of Jackson. Pretty impressive, I duly visited Jackson (see my pic in the gazebo) as well as Crawford's Notch/Willey house site. The only problem was Belinda was born in 1795, so not on the census, and there is no other record of David or his family. But understanding the lack of documentation in rural NH, I figured that was as good as it gets. Fast forward to this week, somehow in searching for other information I may have had on the Bassett ancestry, I came across another email (2010) from the Bassett researcher flagging me that there were alternative parents for Belinda. How I missed this or why I didn't do something with it earlier, I don't recall, all I know is I am glad I kept it. It was a signifcant change that made much more sense and has more circumstantial documentation (again, as good as it gets). This update proposes, therefore, that Belinda Bassett was the daughter of James Bassett and Ann Walker Durgin (widow of Silas Durgin). James Bassett was in the 1790 census in Bartlett, but he died in 1797. The 1800 census for Bartlett has his wife enumerated as 'wid. Ann Basset'. More importantly, it shows her with 2 daughters 5-10 years old which fits Belinda's age at the time of the census. The other confirming 'evidence'? Something I had wondered about as there were no Davids in my Tasker line. But Belinda and Jonathan Tasker's son and my ancestor, was named James Bassett Tasker. Another interesting point is that as the daughter of James, Belinda had a brother Joseph. This Joseph Bassett named one of his daughters Belinda Tasker Bassett. In fact, the next generation of that family also had a Belinda T. Bassett. So for now, unless better evidence emerges otherwise, and I welcome all comments, I am adding James and Ann as my ancestors. A bit sad, as it means I have to say goodbye to all those wonderful local history stories associated with David and Suzannah, although I can still say I am related as a cousin by marriage as David was James' brother. I do have added respect for Belinda, who lost her father at about 2 years of age, died young at 39 (Garland Ridge Cemetary gravestone picture attached) and her relatives who kept her memory alive through others bearing her name (my Tasker line also had 2 generations of Belinda Bassett Tasker). Not to mention the challenge her mother faced who was 2xs widowed and left with a young family to raise. I do owe Jeffrey Bassett(Bassett Family Historian, www.bassettbranches.org thanks for his ongoing efforts to trace the family as well as a Walker family researcher, Eugene Walker ( Eugene Walker, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~walkerdesc/b241.htm#P241 ) who clued me into Ann's 1800 census. Now I am off to explore all my new Walker ancestors.

A few years latter John Whitesides built one next store. ( he owned the Sears store in N. Conway. I spent every summer in Bartlett swimming at 1st and 2nd iron and learned to swim at Sky valley. Was friends with Alan and Dale Mallett and remember the raccoons they had. Some of my best childhood memories took place in Bartlett in summertime! Looking back I was blessed to spend time at such a wonderful and enchanting place and time! I remember the Shultz Robert and Tony and their Mom Eltzie across 302 from us. Things change but the carefree beauty and pleasure of Bartlett remain etched in my memory forever!

Dad's grow-up and grandparents' home near the 302 RR crossing. 1st, 2nd and 4th irons truly gifts for a lifetime. Fun playing on the tracks too. Mallet's store and Georges = great. Kanka and the notch exciting in an old MGB. Jan 16, 2023: Greg Burdwood - Dover, nh: Subject: Fond Memories from the 60s - 70s: message: I love seeing these pictures and reading the history here, along with the memories. My father ("Billy" to the village) was born in 1928 and grew up there with his 3 brothers and sister (Alan, Bobby, Roger, Janice). Bartlett was a magical place to my siblings and me, who grew up in NJ. There were our grandparents, (Bud and Darnie), the incredible beauty of the valley, the store on the corner that had ACTUAL penny candy, and the interesting dialect spoken by the natives that was always new to us flatlanders, by godfrey. We loved visiting our extended family, several of whom had worked on the railroad. The 2nd Iron was the best... going down the 'slippery slide,' swimming in the giant 'pool,' jumping off the rocks, or swinging from the rope. I think it wasn't until I was 10 that I mustered the courage to jump off the bridge, but what an achievement! When I was in high school, I climbed up to the top of the trapezoid. My stomach flips at that thought of it, now.My most harrowing memory was around 11 years old, standing on one of the girders and dropping pebbles on my sister's head, as any self-respecting little brother would have done, when suddenly I heard the diesel engines and then the loud blast of the horns. "Jump!" Pat said, but I was over rocks, not water. I sat down on the girder and felt like the size of one of my pebbles as those giant engines and swaying box cars went by overhead. I can still hear them, click-click, click-click. It had been a fairly routine experience of my father when he was a kid, so he was pretty cool about it. My mother, however... And now I have lived down the road in the southeastern corner of this wonderful state for 40 years and I enjoyed bringing my wife and children to Bartlett to enjoy the special places of my youth as they were growing up. Thank you, historical society, for preserving the history and memories of Bartlett NH, a place that feels like an old friend, one that I am always happy to visit.

When i came upon the book, Life by the tracks, I was delighted. I have since read it many times, alway fasinated with the stories. Ive taken the Conway train up to the old station, where the Crawford hotel stood and dreamed as we drove by the Evan sectionhouse. Soon I will hike to its location, as i recently found that the trail they, themselves use to get to the house from down below is still a hiking trail. nov 30, 2016 - Gary Roy 322 Old Ayer Road - groton, ma 01450 It's great to see the old st.josephs church being used for something besides storage. november 20, 2016 - kathleen mulkern Hi. I'm sending my check today to become a member and thank you for your site. i enjoy all the photos you post. I came across this photo of Maple Cottage in Bartlett on eBay today while researching Maplehurst cottage in Jackson (AKA Shannon Door Pub if anyone ever comes across photos of that or of the lake Lee Lodge because I'm trying to find out when the name changed from Maplehurst to Oak Lee Lodge). The photo says 1916 so I thought you might want it for your page. It shows a nice lady in white sitting on the porch. I'll have to go see if that house wis still there. Thanks Kathleen Mulkern september 26, 2016 - bethany pike; Thank you for all you do to preserve the history of Bartlett NH. I would appreciate someone getting in touch with me about the Bartlett Boulder on Route 302. My family has ownership and a lot of history with this site and I'd like to discus how to preserve this monument with your historical society. Thank you, Bethany september 7, 2016 - Greg Tully; Saugus, MA I miss Bartlett February 12, 2016 Rick Garon When I was kid I spent my summers with my grandparents Adalbert and Olive (Drown) Garon. I chummed around with Merle Burke, Frank Trecarten and others. We got into our share of trouble, but I remember "breaking in" to an old red shed that was behind a building that was across from the Thermostat. There was an old horse drawn hearse in that shed that we dared each other to spend some time laying in it. It probably isn't there anymore, but if it is it would be a nice piece of history for the society. Just heard about the Peg Mill. Such an awful disaster. I remember as a kid hearing that whistle every day at 7am and 5pm. I used to go and watch Sanford Trecarten in the boiler room shoveling all the scraps into the boiler. It must have been 120 degrees in there. My great grandfather Samuel Drown and my grandmother Olive worked there. But I guess half of Bartlett worked there at one time or another. So sad.

December 12 2014: Rick Garon 8 Hollis Drive - Hampstead, NH 03841 i Spent my summers with my grandparents, Adalbert Garon, (who was station agent in Bartlett, Sawyer River, and Crawford Notch) and Olive Drown. This was in the 50's and early 60's. Always loved Bartlett. Still do. My grandmother Olive Drown was born in Albany, NH in 1903. She attended school in Bartlett. Her father, James William Drown and grandfather Samuel William Drown were both Bartlett residents in the 1800's. Her ancestor Leonard Drowne came from England and died in Boston in 1729 and buried in the Copp's Hill Burial Ground.

I have enjoyed your online web pages immensely! Especially the pictures and information regarding the Pendexter Mansion. It was built by my ancestors and subsequently it is of great interest to me. Please share if you would any other findings from your Bartlett Historical Society. Are there any pictures from within the mansion? Any portraits? It would be wonderful to see anything you wish to share and much appreciated! Again,thank you so much! Blessings to you! -Susan June 16 2014: Ted Houghton - Charlton MA. What a great job David has done building this site. I've only scratched its surface so far, but already it has given me quite a nostalgic trip back in time, as I grew up in Lower Bartlett (Intervale) in the 1950's and 1960's. My folks owned what was then Holiday Inn from 1950 to 1976.You folks have put together a fantastic site and I have thoroughly enjoyed perusing it. Having grown up at Holiday Inn in Intervale in the 50's, I particularly enjoyed the section on the Intervale inns. I remember the fires that claimed many of them. A few years ago, when Linda and Mitch took over what is now the Glen Oaks B&B, my sister Patsy and I put together a small booklet for them that contained the history of the Inn. If you're interested, I'd be happy to email you a copy. I was five years old when my parents bought the Holiday Inn, just old enough to spend the month of May 1950 attending kindergarten at the old Intervale Schoolhouse, diagonally across the road and the brook from the Inn. That fall I began first grade at the Lower Bartlett School, later the town hall. Mrs James, Miss Lord and Mr Walker were the three teachers; a year or two later I think it was Miss Lord that left, making it a two-room school. The Maple Villa was directly across the street from Holiday Inn, where I grew up. When we moved there in 1950, the Maple Villa was then called Hampshire House and was an annex to the New England Inn (NEI). At that time, NEI was owned by Tom and Anna Martin, who had a daughter Suzie (now Nickerson). Suzie was about halfway in age between my sister Patsy and me, and we used to play together a lot. Back then, before they built a home beside the NEI tennis court, the Martins lived in part of the Hampshire House and it was a great place to explore with lots of stairways and a great attic. The other thing I remember about the Martins was that Tom smoked cigars. He would occasionally drop in to chat with my folks, Winnie & Ed Houghton, and the smell from that cigar would linger quite a while. I read with interest the story of Storyland. Back in the 50's, the inn business was a lot more seasonal, with things pretty quiet in the spring and fall. My folks were the owners of Holiday Inn in Intervale, and like many innkeepers, my Dad, Ed, had a variety of off-season jobs to help make ends meet. One of my Dad's job was working for Bob Morrell when Storyland was being built. He mostly did painting along with some carpentry, and he always recalled having painted the Crooked Little House, the Old Woman's Shoe and others. may 27 2014: Larrie Upton 4 Oak Hill Drive Dover, NH 03820 - 603 742 0617 I am seeking a photo for a historic preservation project in Dover NH.

Looking for information on Livermore Logging. this has been helpful. thank you jan 27 2014: sue magro, portsmouth nh Hello, I just have a question! I was referred to you by the Bartlett Public Library. My sister and I were in your charming town this past weekend, cross-country skiing on the railroad track groomed trails. I have been trying since to find out information about those abandoned passenger train cars (I think they say "Lackawana" or something on the sides). There are window blinds and padded seats and overhead compartments - I am fascinated and would love to know how long the cars have been there, when that train last carried passengers, and why the cars are just left on the tracks (unfortunately found by graffiti 'artists'). What a great website! Found out everything I could want to know about Bartlett except info on those train cars. Thanks for anything you can tell me! Sincerely, Sue Magro, Portsmouth, NH dec 11, 2013: Mark Hired hand from the Willey Slide is buried in Bartlett. Could you tell me which cemetary and where in town that cemetary is located? Thanks. REPLY: Birth: 1789Death: Aug. 28, 1826 David was 37 years old and worked as a hired hand for Samuel Willey, Jr. at the Willey House Inn in Crawford Notch. He died, along with the Willey family and another hired man, from a landslide triggered by violent thunderstorms. They were most likely attempting to escape rising floods from the Saco River when they were caught in the landslide. Inscription: Killed at Willey Slide 1826 Burial: Garland Ridge Cemetery Bartlett Carroll County New Hampshire, USA Created by: AuntieJ Record added: Sep 02, 2013 Find A Grave Memorial# 116456101 http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=116456101 dec 09, 2013: rick desmarais So about 45 years ago, my parents took my sister and I to the Whites, mostly to see Story Land and Six Gun City I think. I have a picture of us standing in front a cabin we occupied when we were vacationing, but my parents' can't remember much more. I do remember as a kid being simply amazed by the Whites; it wasn't for another 12 years or so that I would make it back to do occasional hikes. But I do remember the astonishment I felt at the mountains specifically. So fast forward 45 years and I'm 50, an avid hiker, trip leader and chapter treasurer for the AMC and I'm still trying to find this place that so excited me. I remember we stayed in a white cabin and there was a restaurant where we went for breakfast and I think we could walk there. My hazy memory recalls a matchbook with a grandma in a rocking chair, but I'm not sure I can trust that. We were staying near StoryLand so I'm betting it's Glen or Jackson. I took the only picture I have from that time over to Steve Smith in Lincoln who edits the White Mountain guide, but the roughly 2200-2500 foot hill in the background (my guess) is not distinctive enough. I've been purchasing online tourist guides of the Whites from about 1965 to 1971 but no luck. I think the old Meadowbrook Motel (Will's Inn) might be a possibility, but not sure. Any other ideas? Thanks! nov 24, 2013: Steve lambert bernerhof inn We love reading and seeing these archives. We should meet for a cup of coffee and get to know each other!

My grandmother was knowN as Nunny in the town. The swimming who can forget... The Rock, and Second Iron and yes I did jump from the bridge. There were the summer crushes and the best white Christmas a child could wish for. There was that cool diving board at SKY VALLEY oh how I first froze up there and then you could never get me off. There were those cool dances at the VF. Many names I have never forgotten. I have a hard time seeing her house and yard for it has never been the same since her death. I still get up there however, it feels more like I come into town like a thief in the night. Bartlett you will always have a place in my heart, Valerie Sep 15, 2013: Rob Schrull Greetings from Tokyo, Japan. I was reading something the other day that brought my attention to Livermore. Googling Livermore, I found your series of pages. Fascinating stuff. Thanks for putting it up. As a young boy I would work at a camp in the Lakes region, and while now living in Tokyo for over 10 years, I still have a home in Vermont to which I go in summers. For sure, next trip, I want to hike up and see the old foundations and enjoy the mountains. Reading these has given me a lot of enthusiasm to do this.

I was lucky enough to meet Raymond Willard Evans on several occasions up at Twin Mountain on Evans Drive. He told me stories about my Great Great Grandfather,for whom he had worked at Crawfords. I was pretty young, but I remember he had the wooden sign for Crawford House in his back yard, and many other fine photographs and ephemera. We hiked from Crawford Station to the site of his long gone family home, the Mt. Willard Section House. Built in the 1880's it was torn down by the R.R. in the late 70's, and all that remains is the foundation and furnace, but also a magnificent view. I remember Ray telling me of his Father who was killed in a R.R. accident when Ray was young, and that his mother Hattie raised her family all alone astride a Mountain, and she herself became the Station Agent for Mt. Willard. People often remember the men of history, but often not the women who kept them going, and carried on after them. For instance my relative Oscar G. Barron of The Fabyan House, died in 1913, and his wife Jennie Lane Barron ran the huge hotel by herself until 1933. From most accounts she improved things, and ran a tight ship. Her Father Dennis Lane of Montpelier Vt invented the Circular Saw (Industrial), so she came of sound stock. Ray Evans was a treasure, and I will never forget him. Feb 2, 2013: Merle Burke - Bedford, NH 03110 This is a very good website and a fine tribute to the Town of Bartlett. To those people who have worked so hard to put this together and to all of its contributors, congratulations and thank you.. I notice that you refer to Mrs. Florence Morey, my former employer as, "Madam Morey." Rather than identifying Mrs. Morey by a name that might have been meant as a derogatory nickname (used disrespectfully behind one's back) maybe you should be more respectful and use her real name. When I was twelve, I called Mrs Morey 'Madam' -- not knowing any better. Luckily she didn't hear me. But, after I said it, I thought my two Uncles, Pep and Jake and my grandfather Joe were going to snatch me bald-headed and pull my ears out. I learned a lesson that day! I read one time in the Conway Daily Sun, where someone said that she liked to be called 'Madam.' Well, I knew her for a long time and, I never knew of anyone ever calling her Madam to her face!! Editors note: The term 'madam' is defined as a polite form of address for a woman, or a courtesy title. also the mistress of a household. The usage is consistant with historical articles. In Marion Varney's "Harts Location in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire's Smallest town", published 1997, there is reference to the title "Madam" on page 136: "She commenced her long reign as the Madam of Harts Location, as she preferred to be known, in 1928 when she was elected Town Clerk and Selectman." Since the author, Marion Varney, was a neighbor of Florence Morey there must be some truth to this statement. There may have been some folks who thought "Madam" referred to the operator of a brothel, however I, for one, never assumed the title to impy any more than one of respect. But, since most of history is what people remember, I have added this bit of information to the page where Madam Morey is mentioned. It can be found under the picture of Mrs. Morey's Inn Unique. http://www.bartletthistory.org/bartletthistory/crawfordnotch.html Dec 30 2012: Judith Garland Miller - 128 N Lakeview Drive - Lake Helen, FL 32744 On April 23, 2012 a Beth Gaudette signed the guest book.

I checked people into the cabins and campground area, pumped gas and washed windshields, waited on tables in the restaurant, made pizzas and sandwiches for the counter service, and sold groceries in the store. My uncle was also the part-time town constable and I recall directing traffic on US Highway 302 when there was an accident near a railroad crossing --- I thought that it was kind of funny with my uncle in his flannel checkered shirt, a constable's badge pinned to the shirt pocket, and a handgun tucked into a holster directing traffic --- no uniform at all! Great memories of my summer in Bartlett... MAY 19, 2012: KIM B. KITSOS 6 ROSE ST HAVERHILL MA My family is from the are and I am looking forward to visiting this summer.

I am working on the family genealogy and this is very informative. Memories of Bartlett, there are many. My grandparents were Grover Garland and Sadie Burke. The family goes back many generations in Bartlett. My parents: Dell and Pauline(Garland)Gaudette also made Bartlett their home. My grandmother, Sadie Garland owned two restaurants, one in Glen beside her home on RT. 16 and Allen Rd where the old Harriets Diner used to be and then again in Bartlett Village across from the old Thermostat Factory and the railroad tracks. Both of my parents worked at the Kearsarge Peg Mill, my mom for 30 years. My dad worked at the CC Camps in Livermore in the early years. I went to Bartlett Elementary. Mrs. Garland, Mrs. Manna, Mrs. Jones, Mr.Walker and Mrs. Davis. If anyone had Mr. Walker they will remember the afternoon square dance lessons that we had every day. (fun but didn't help much) Nothing can compare to the childhood memories, close school friendships (most of which were related) and small town closeness that we had as children. Our graduating class consisted of 12, that was closeness. Dec 29, 2011: Kim (Dinsmore) Kitsos; 6 Rose Street, Haverhill, Ma 01830 I have been trying to find my family history and so far it leads me to Elijah Dinsmore. He is buried in the Dinsmore Cemetary at Intervale, as also his son, Elijah Dinsmore, Jr. I was hoping to find a grave of his son Colonel Stephen Dinsmore as well. Thank you, Kim (Dinsmore) Kitsos. Oct 12, 2011: Robert J. Girouard, 96 Main St, Acushnet, Ma. Love your area. Here I am living in Ma. and loving your area. Bartlett..Livermore.. My Grandfather Pierre Girouard came from Canada into the USA on 3/11/1912. Wish he went to Bartlett or Livermore. Livermore was known for Canadian woodsmen.

DuPont is buried in the Garland Ridge Cemetery. He was a WWII veteran, served at Omaha Beach, Normandy on D Day and liberated a concentration camp in Germany. He was absolutely amazing as a husband and as a father to us 3 kids. He was also wonderful to his parents. Any history on the cemetery would be greatly appreciated. My grandfather Angus MacDonald is also buried there. A beautiful place. September 24, 2011: Rick Garon - 8 Hollis Drive - Hampstead, NH: Although I only spent my summers and school vacations with my grandparent Adalbert and Olive Garon, I feel somewhat connected with Bartlett. My father Raymond graduated from BHS in the 40's. My grandfather worked for the RR as station agent in Bartlett, Crawford's, Sawyer River and Whitefield. The Drowns of Bartlett are my ancestors on my grandmother's side. I have many great memories hanging around with the kids of Bartlett: Roger Clemons, Merle Burke, the Trecartens, Diane Dudley, etc. Haying with Dale Trecarten, 2nd Iron. Keep up the good work. I'll visit the site often. September 21, 2011: Liz Pace, 41 Puddingstone lane, Bellingham, Mass: It was so nice to see the pictures of the flood on River Street from 1967 with my grandparents Betty & Win Whitman. Would love to get a copy of those pictures. (Note: the pictures referred to are here ) Aug 23, 2011: Rick Garon 8 Hollis Dr. Hampstead, NH I have many fond memories of Bartlett from 6yrs old to 14yrs old. I used to spend my summers in Bartlett with my grandparents, Albert and Olive (Drown) Garon. My father graduated from BHS around 1943. I'm seeing names on the website that I knew in the 60's. My great-great grandmother was Mary Abigail Cook, born in Porter ME in 1830 and died in Bartlett (West Side Rd.) Buried at Hill Cemetary. Can never seem to find it. Anyway, Dave, great job on the new look of the web site. I'll come back often. Rick Garon Ask Constance Dudley if she remembers me. I had a summer crush on her sister Diane back in the 50's and 60's.

Thank you, David, for putting this together and allowing us all a peek at the past. Editor note: you're welcome...some of us are still here, AND still "growing-up" Sept 6, 2010: Cherry: 107 Seboeis Road; howland maine 04448 I am very interested in your Web-site as my Great grandparents- Archibald & Rebecca (Haddock) Allan lived in Bartlett/Glen & am Pleased to find this on-line! JULY 31 2010: I am doing some research on the Knight Family. George Washington Knight and George Lincoln Knight came to Bartlett as permanent residents in or about 1881. They both lived the rest of thier lives in Bartlett. George W's daughter and husband also were in Bartlett or Hart's Location from 1881 to 1883. During that time Nellie J and Myrtle F Rich were born. The on-line Bartlett Town Report of 1892 does not list either one. Does some one have access to the 1890 and 1891 Town Report for Bartlett and the 1889-1892 Reports for Hart's Location or Livermore? Could they either e-mail a copy of the appropriate pages or send me copies? George C Rich was the father and Viola Knight Rich the mother. After they were in Bartlett, George Rich moved to Lancaster where he worked for the MEC until 1914 when he opened a butcher market on Main St. Charles Curtis Rich, George and Viola's son, came back to Bartlett with the MEC around 1909. He was a car inspector and then went to Rhode Island and Connecticut for the rest of his life. He is buried in Lancaster. While they were here they had Myrtle B in 1916. Please see if there is a record in the 1917 Bartlett Town Record also.

Markley and Mary W. Markley bought 80 acres on Jericho rd. around 1959 from Mr. Cannell. I spent my summers there as a child for 16 years. I still dream of being there quite often. I have never seen such a beautiful place since. The wonderful memories of swimming in the rocky Branch River and the trips to Silver Springs after dinner with my Grandfather to get penny candy.There was a small farm across the street from my Grandparents owned by Everett and Nellie Towle and Earnest and Isabelle Grey. That is where I fell in love with cows. I spent many hours playing in their barn and pasture with their grandchildren. I remember going to the Post Office with my Grandfather. It was in a house on 302 and I believe the postmasters name was Mrs. Chandler.I went to bibl! e school at a little white church across the street from what is now the Red Parka Pub. I still have my diploma. I just loved looking at your old photos. I have copies of some very old photos of the Rocky Branch that I will dig out and send you AUGUST 10, 2010: Lorraine Judd Holt Divide, Co. 80814: This is a great website, found it by accident. I love Bartlett, both my mother's family, the Ainsworths, and my father's family, the Judds, lived there when I was growing up. It was a special town, no better place to grow up. AUGUST 26, 2010: RALPH CLEMONS, RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA: David has done a superb job in putting together some of the history of Barlett. Having spent my first nineteen years theRE and exploring, hunting, fishing, education, and just plain fun there are a lot of memories. The town today does not resemble the town as I remember it.

I wish I could be at the annual meeting to hear Mr. Peter Crane talk about Livermore. My grandparents, Charles and Martha Knight used to live in Livermore. Grandpa Knight was the train engineer on the steam train that hauled logs out to the main line in Crawford Notch. My association with Livermore is that my dad, Edward Boynton Knight, used to take me deer hunting around Livermore during the mid 1950s. Brian A.

She would line us up every morning and have us hold our hands in front of us. She then checked to make sure we had clean hands and clean fingernails. She was a wonderful person and teacher.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 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

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 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.

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.

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. She was born in North Conway, N.H. The daughter of Herbert and Anna Burke, she was a lifelong resident.

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. Following the funeral, the family would like to invite you to her celebration of life at the Red Parka Pub in Glen, N.H., from noon to 2 p.m. Both the funeral and celebration of life will be open to the public.

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.

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. Viewing will be Friday, Dec 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Furber & White Funeral Home at 2925 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. The funeral will be on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church at 2905 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Veteran’s Affairs or Visiting Nurse Services in honor of Joe._____________ Johnson CJ Robert Jones RichardJones LorraineJones Jefferson Kondrup-TAYLOR King Kerins cARROLLkELLEY Anchor 3 BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE FloraJones Flora Leona Giles Jones of Boothbay, Maine, died Tuesday, April 18, 2006, with her son and daughter at her side .Flora was born at home in Boothbay during a snowstorm on May 11, 1925, to Samuel Fremont and Esther (Gray) Giles.

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

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 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

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.

The fifth of six children, she had passionate Slavish roots that she celebrated her entire life. A practicing Catholic, Claire’s devotion to her faith was life long, beginning at a young age when she received a parochial school education through eighth grade, before she went on to attend Eastside High School, graduating in 1950. It was in 1950 that she met and married her husband, Donald (Don) Prince in what was a 57 year marriage and became a story of inseparable love of Don and Claire. They began married life in New Jersey where Claire created a loving home for her husband and four children. After numerous trips to the White Mountains, they decided to call it home. Claire, Don and their family moved to North Conway, N.H., in 1966 where they followed a life long dream of becoming innkeepers, buying the Country Squire Motel (now the Harvest Inn) in Intervale, N.H. In later years, Claire pursued a career in retail working and managing Hathaway Shirt Company and Boston Trader Kids. She was active in her Church, Our Lady Of the Mountains, as a Eucharistic Minister, a member of Catholic Daughters of America, visiting nursing homes and the sick, as well as was a founding member of the Children’s Christmas Store. A homemaker at heart, Claire loved to garden, sew, and cook, sharing her creative talents with family and friends. She was also known to spend quite a few hours furniture shopping. In recent years, she had taken up yoga and tai chi. As years went on, she became the matriarch of her extensive clan with 13 grandchildren and 19 and a half great-grandchildren. She was immensely proud of the family she and her husband had created, and loved keeping up with her family’s antics, especially those of the younger generations.

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.

Donations in memory of Mark Phaneuf can be made to Faith Bible Church, P.O. 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.

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.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 More Railroad Pages - Menu Top Right... Wreck at Dismal Pool - 1952 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.

While they did not arrive in Bartlett until 1815, their story up until that point is an interesting tale. Early Settlers Stillings - Garland - Chubbick Emery - Pitman Hall - Pendexter - Tasker - Seavey George - Gilly - Fox - Willey In the book PASSACONAWAY IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS , the author, Charles Edward Beals, Jr, describes this picture as "The Historic George House". It was later to be the residence of R.P. Colbath. Today it is the Historic Russell Colbath House. SOURCE: PASSACONAWAY IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS Charles Edward Beal Published in 1916 During the year 1800, Austin George, with a large family (fourteen children) drove up from Conway to the Passaconway intervale, known as Great Valley,and built a large barn of hewed and split white pine from top to bottom. No labor was wasted, for the timber grew upon the very ground which the settler wished to clear. The men chose rift trees, split the boards, shingles and planks and smoothed them with an adze. A log-house was built and finished in the same way. One or two neighbors came with this family, but made no preparations for permanent settlement, and, after two or three years, went back to Conway. Mr. George's oldest son brought his bride from Conway to live with the family. Doubtless owing to the hardship of pioneer life, sickness came to the family. A daughter, nineteen years of age, died of consumption. The nearest neighbors were ten miles way. The poor mother was forced to make all the funeral preparations with her own hands. Friends arrived later and the customary burial rites were observed. The father, Austin George, was a scholar and a great reader. He taught his children geography, grammar, arithmetic and history, and in later years some of these frontier children became among the best school teachers In the country. So cold was the climate that corn and wheat were out of the question; in fact, the only vegetables they could raise were those which frost could not kill, such as cabbages, turnips, onions, and potatoes. Although the soil is unusually fertile and free from stones, so very short is the season between frosts (for ice often forms here in July and August) that only the fast growing vegetables and those that can survive the frosts can be relied upon. The girls and boys reaped abundant crops of hay, while the father cultivated the garden. The mother, by hand, wove the clothes for the numerous members. The entire family had to turn to and toil from daylight to dark in order to eke out their meager existence. There were no drones in these early families. Times grew harder and harder in the George home. The cattle died of the "Burton Ail," (see side bar) no remedy at this time being known. A hurricane swept through the very center of the valley, tearing up trees by the roots. Everything in its path, which was a half mile in width, was laid level with the ground. The hurricane crossed the valley from northwest to southeast. In 1814, the family decided to abandon the place. Two sons had left and enlisted in the war against England, one of whom was killed at the Battle of Bridgewater in July, 1814. In October of the same year, the oldest son moved his family away. The now aged father decided to stay long enough to feed his stock the supply of hay on hand, while his family lived on the produce they had raised, as it was impossible to move these supplies through the forest and Mr. George had nothing with which to buy more. Until March, 1815, he remained, when, taking his family, which now consisted of a wife, three sons and three daughters, he moved to Bartlett. Mr. George felt very sad over abandoning his home in the intervale, and, although he lived twenty-four years longer, he never could bring himself to visit the spot again and see the, abandoned home. Thus Mr. George derived no benefit from the years of toil and hardship which he had put in here. For ten years the old George homestead was left to transient hunters, trappers and perhaps bandits. Yet its occupancy by the Georges had proved that, despite Chocorua's curse and the rigorous climate, human beings could exist here. In March, 1824, nine years after Mr. George had left, Mr. Amzi Russell, who had married the granddaughter of Austin George, moved into the old house and the settlement was begun in earnest; and never afterwards, up to the present, although time and again sorely tested, has it been entirely abandoned. The building was in a very dilapidated condition, having been used by rough men from time to time. The beautiful white-pine finishing had been ripped off by these vandals, who used the wood as fuel with which to cook their venison and keep themselves warm. The Russells had every reason to believe that the house had been used as a meeting-place by men who came from different parts of the country and who seemed well acquainted with the place. Evidently it had been a rendezvous for brigands who met here by agreement to divide their plunder or bury their treasure. A horse was discovered in the month of March by some of the Russells who were hunting. The family worked industriously on their farm and existed on what "garden truck" they could raise, which fare was supplemented by a plentiful supply of game. In 1833 the Russell brothers built a mill at the lower end of the intervale. Here they sawed lumber for the valley and made trips to Portland to haul lumber to market. At Portland they could procure supplies for their families. On these trips they would also bring back goods for the traders at Conway, and this helped to pay expenses. They managed to subsist by such activities and by farming. Happily and contentedly they lived, and made what improvements they could in addition to their regular tasks. Austin George had fourteen children, the first three of whom are buried in the Russell Cemetery in the Albany Intervale. Daniel George, a son of the pioneer, had a daughter, Eliza Morse George, who married Amzi Russell, son of Thomas Russell. Mrs. Russell lived to be over ninety years old. She kept a manuscript from which were taken not a few of the facts here recorded. The children of Amzi and Eliza Morse (George) Russell were Martha George Russell, who married Celon Russell Swett; Thirza Russell, who married Andrew J. Lord; Mary Russell, who died young; Ruth Priscilla Russell, who married Thomas Alden Colbath and lives in the historic old George homestead, and who for many years was Postmistress; and Flora Emma Russell, who never married. To Mrs. Colbath the present writer is deeply indebted for access to the Russell Manuscript and for letters supplementing the account given in said manuscript. Mrs. Colbath, as her acquaintances can testify, is a woman of superior intellectual ability and moral excellence, and scores of people, in many states, take pride in calling her their friend. The reason for writing so particularly about the George family is that not only have very reliable records been kept of the hardships endured, which hardships were typical of those necessarily endured by all the early families, but because Mr. George's long stay laid the foundation for a permanent settlement in the Albany Intervale.

May lightning blast your crops! Wind and fire destroy your homes! The Evil One breathe death on your cattle! May panthers howl and the wolves fatten on your bones!" Such, the legend tells us, were his final words. For long years thereafter, the area's small colony of hardy pioneers is said to have experienced a succession of devastating reverses of the kind Chocorua had named. According to one writer, "The tomahawk and scalping-knife were busy among them; the winds tore up trees, and hurled them at their dwellings; their crops were blasted, their cattle died and sickness came upon their strongest men." Wolf and bear raids on livestock were also blamed on Chocorua's curse. It is a matter of record that cattle in the town of Burton at the mountain's base did regularly sicken and die of a strange disease, which settlers attributed to Chocorua's malediction. The disease was known as "Burton's Ail," and in 1833 townspeople went so far as to change the town's name to Albany, in hopes of disassociating it from its reputation as a killer of cattle. (Fruitlessly, it would seem, since Benjamin G. Willey, writing his "Incidents in White Mountain History" more than 20 years later, reported that "to this day, say the inhabitants, a malignant disease has carried off the cattle that they have attempted rearing around this mountain." Ultimately, it was discovered that high concentrations of muriate of lime in the local water supply were responsible for the suffering and death of Albany's cattle. A simple antidote consisting of carbonate of lime administered in the form of soapsuds or alternatively, meadow mud, put an end to the problem. The cattle ailed no more, and the superstition died. curse willey Gilly - Fox - Willey gilly Late in the year 1777: Paul Jilly, Daniel Fox, Captain Samuel Willey , from Lee came and settled in Upper Bartlett. Sources say they located to the farthest end of town, which at that time would have been in the Chadbourne bequest. There seems to be little mention among local historical authors concerning Mr Jilly or Mr. Fox, other than shortly after their arrival their horses departed on their own for home in Lee. They never made it home becoming lost in the forests and it being winter, starved to death. The horses remains were found in the Spring. Jilly and Fox may have simply lived lives of quiet desperation...or perhaps contentment...performing no achievements of particular interest, like the majority of people. However a map dated 100 years later shows no mention of their names or next generation names in the location they settled. fox Captain Willey was the first to leave after his horse "took-off" for home in Lee shortly after their arrival. The Captain moved to Conway where he purchased a tract which he farmed. He lived there until his death in 1844 at age 91, the last of the remaining original inhabitants of that town. Captain Willey had a son, Samuel Willey Jr, who in the autumn of 1825 moved himself and his family into what would later become famous as The Willey House . It had been built earlier by a Mr. Henry Hill who operated it for a time as an Inn. It had been abandoned for several years when the Willey's moved in and they set about making improvements and added a barn, All was fine until in August of 1826 the well recounted event occurred known later as the Willey Slide , which devastated the family and ironically the event helped make the area famous as the story was reported in all the major city newspapers. If you don't know the story it can be found easily with a google search. The site became an historic site and drew many people from far away to visit the site. The mountain at which their house was located was named Mt. Willey in their honor. Sources: Incidents in White Mountain history - by Rev. Benjamin G.
