Historic Lodging Intervale Area- Page 4 The material for this page was taken from "The Latchstring Was Always Out" by Aileen M. Carroll - Published by Peter E. Randall for The Bartlett Public Library 1994 BITS & PIECES Intervale Page 1 Intervale Page 2 Intervale Page 3 Intervale Page 4 Intervale Page 5 ConcordCoach How did folks get around back then if not on horseback or a train? The Concord Coach of Course. The one pictured here was owned by the Pittman brothers of the East Branch House. One of the most significant horse-drawn vehicles developed in America is the famous Concord coach, first built in the late 1820s in Concord, New Hampshire. The sturdy suspension system was well suited to travel on rugged terrain. Its strength, durability and comfort established the company's reputation and the vehicles were shipped to all parts of the U.S. and abroad with an average price of $1000. The Henry Ford Museum has the Concord Coach that was ordered new from the Concord Coach Company here in New Hampshire in 1891 by the Pitman brothers who owned the East Branch House. Also, check out the history of Concord Coach #80 , which is on display at The Concord Group Insurance Agency at 4 Bouton St. in Concord. Just over the bridge spanning the East Branch was the East Branch House. It was established about 1870 and was substantially larger than the other Intervale Hotels with a capacity of 125. Its rates were comparable to its rivals at $7. to $10.50 per week. Its guests could actually hear the sound of the stream from their bedroom windows. Its owners were two brothers, William and Winthrop M. Pitman, great grandsons of Joseph and Alice (Pendexter) Pitman. Having grown-up in Intervale they were no strangers to the Hotel business as many of their ancestors and relatives were also Innkeepers in the Intervale area. The Pitman name was evident in Bartlett's history from the very beginning. The Hotel they built and operated was a great success with a loyal following. In 1898 the hotel burned in what was described as an awesome spectacle to those viewing it. There is more information on the Intervale Hotels and the various generations of Pitman's in the book cited at the top of this page, "The Latchstring Was Always Out".

In 1918 it was purchased by John and Gertrude Fernald and became Fernald's Cottage. By 1930 it had new owners who renamed it Rest-a-Bit and, unusual for the time, operated the Inn year round. It had one more owner before 1946 when the Burgess's purchased the property and renamed it the Holiday Inn. By the 1960's the Houghtons' owned the property and there was a legal battle with the bigger chain brand name, Holiday Inn, but it continued with its name until 1984 when the Clough's purchased it and renamed it back to its historic beginnings, The Forest. 2014 addition: Ted Houghton sent us a copy of his sister Pat Houghton Marr's history of the building along with pictures and memorabilia.

It burned 1963 in what was described as "a spectacular fire". The Bellvue occupied this spot before the Clarendon. The Bellvue also burned. Clarendon Fire Clarendon The New Fosscroft Inn appears in an undated ad. The vehicles appear to be 1930's era and the name Henry J. Murphy is shown with a phone number. It does appear substantially remodeled. The Fosscroft Inn - Intervale Built by Ernest Foss in 1925 at a time when the era of big hotels was coming to an end. It was built on the site of the former Langdon Hotel. As train travel decreased, its time as a hotel was brief and by 1950 it was home to Ray Houle's Yankee Peddler, an antique shop . A reliable source told this editor that when Ray Houle bought the building he moved it across Rt 16 to its final resting spot, just west of todays scenic vista. In 1973 Daniel C Bianchino moved to this building and managed it as the Choo-Choo Inn. His occupancy did not last long as the building was destroyed by fire later in that same year. Mr. Bianchino removed to Dundee and died in North Conway in 2020. fosscroft Houle YankeePed bianchino headlands RayHoule The Headlands - Intervale This editor has found very little information about Headlands Inn except for a couple of post cards (below). Susan May (1947-2020) was nice to point out that Headlands, The Pequaket House and Smith Tavern were different names for the same building over the years. It was just north of today's Perry's Rest and burned in the 1960's. Does anyone know more? Tell Me smithTavern Smith Tavern Smith Tavern, Intervale, NH Early 1930's (formerly the Pequawket Inn) I bet you know right where this spot is. Next time you go by this spot remember Smith Tavern was once there and before that it was known as the Pequawket Inn . After the Smith's, Jerry and Carolyn Graves ran it as the Pequawket House. Pequawket Inn Pequawket The Pequawket Inn was built in 1854 by Hazen Pitman whose wife managed both the Inn and the farm. Like many others, it was destroyed by fire in the 1960's. Mrs. Harriet Vickery's Pequawket House first operated as an Inn beginning in 1845 by Hazen Pitman, Vickery's father. "Hattie" operated the Inn from about 1880 until her death in the early 1900's. The Inn accommodated about 70 people and was considered to appeal to the budget conscience traveller. After her death the Inn was purchased by a Mrs C.C. Small who operated it until 1927; at which time it was purchased by Newell and Gladys Smith who renamed it the Smith Tavern. The next owners were Jerry and Carolyn Graves who renamed it to the Pequawket House. Unfortunately the building was destroyed by fire in the early 1960's.

The outline of the Thermostat Factory is visible behind the cloud of smoke. Photo courtesy Alan Eliason. FOR THOSE NOT ACQUAINTED WITH BARTLETT, The Town is divided into several sub-communities and areas that in their entirety are The Town of Bartlett. The map shows the distinctive neighborhoods. Beginning at the west is The Upper Village, which is most notable for the Josiah Bartlett School. Glen is the central part of the town centering on the junction of Routes 16 & 302. Glen has several subsections, primarily Cooks Crossing (some refer to it as sucker brook) which is the upper section of the West Side Road . Goodrich Falls is the northern area that abuts the Town of Jackson. Jericho is located about a mile west of the Junction of Route 16 & 302 and it encompasses the Rocky Branch area. Intervale is the eastern part of Town beginning at about the junction of Rte 16A Resort Loop and ending at the Scenic Vista and the North Conway Town line. The westerly side of Hurricane Mountain Road up into Kearsarge is also part of Bartlett. This section begins in the upper village. there are five linked pages. Long before Attitash, there were very popular ski runs on Bear Mountain. This photo 1941 looks north towards Mt Washington.The Village was also home to Stanton Slopes , with a rope tow. It operated in the 40's and 50's. It was located in the cleared area about in the center of this picture. For a very good article about all the bartlett Ski Businesses in the early days, go to http://www.skimuseum.org Bartlett, NH Tavern Fire, Apr 1879 THE BARTLETT FIRE.----Our Conway correspondent writes that the loss to Mr. N. T. Stillings of Bartlett, whose tavern stand and out-buildings were destroyed by fire on the 3d, is $5000, with no insurance. The loss will be a heavy one to Mr. S., whose popular tavern and stage lines were so well known among the pilgrims to "the Switzerland of America." The fire is thought to have originated from a defective chimney. The family of Mr. S, was away at the time of the fire.

The Village in those days had several restaurants, bars, a movie theatre, hotel and lodgings, a hardware store, several grocery stores and many other commercial activities. By contrast, it is a relatively peaceful village today. RRSta1908 GKHowardStore G.K. Howard Hardware Store, also on Albany Avenue. Later it was The Thermostat Factory. Going up Albany Ave towards Bear Notch Road it was just across the tracks on the left. Today there are some condo type units in the same spot. There was a building just before the tracks on the right that housed Wimpy Thurston's Grocery Store, later operated by the Jacobson's . The building looked similar to the GK howard Store but without the dormers. Today that site is an empty lot adjacent to the former Garland Inn , and as of 2019 the Hodgkins residence. 1951; Hanging out at the GK Howard Store are Vin at back left, Bucky (Rogerson?) front left, Peggy and Neal Trecarten. Granville K. Howard, Prominent Bartlett Resident Dies In the passing of Granville K. Howard on Nov. 17 at his home after a brief illness, Bartlett has lost one of its outstanding citizens. Born in Hartford, Vt ., in 1864, he was graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1886 and always kept up his interests in the activities of the college. In 1887 he married Nellie Bailey of Landgrove, Vt ., and two years later he moved to Bartlett . From that time until his retirement in 1946 he was active in business, conducting a general store. In 1912 he built the Howard Hotel , which is now known as Bartlett Hotel. Mr. Howard held many town offices, having served as selectman and as a member of the school board. He was instrumental in forming the Bartlett Water Precinct of which he was treasurer for 51 years. Always interested in the welfare of the town, one of his last acts was to give a plot of land opposite the hotel for a public park . For many years he was active in Osceola Lodge, I. O. O. F. , and was recently awarded his 50 year pin. His counsel and guidance will be missed by the many people who always found him a friend in time of need. Funeral services were held on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Bartlett Congregational Church.- The Reporter, Thursday, November 24, 1949 -pg 1 GK HowardDies Trecarten Across the Street from G.K HOWARD'S STORE IS THE BOOKER BUILDING ON ALBANY AVENUE. It housed Garland's Store, a Barbershop operated by Claude Dearborn. The Post Office was there until it moved down the street next door to Franklin George's "What Not Shop" by the Park. No Date was provided but probably in the 1945-1955 range. Garlands was a drug store, but also sold clothing, footwear and hardware. It was later operated by Joe Briggs. A rlene Hamel and another lady had a restaurant there as did Henrietta Trecarten and Evelyn Tibbets at a later date. There was also a Bakery on the lower level. If you knew of Stan Smearer and Jenny Sweeney , among others, lived in the apartments upstairs.

He lived on the upper floor. He had patented several various forms of thermostats from 1945 to 1971. He probably employed about 30 people. His building was the former G.K. Howard Store . He operated there from the early 1950's to the early 1960's. This editor does not know where he went after his factory closed however he had another thermostat patent approved in 1971, The backside of this July 1957 card (at right) is addressed to Mr Russ Hosmer in Wilmerding Penn. and the writer is one Alan T. There is mention of the Edaville Railroad and it sounds like Alan T was a scout looking for old railroad equipment to buy. Not that it has any bearing, but Wilmerding is home to the George Westinghouse Mansion.

Sawyer's Rock would be just around the bend. Saco River on left. Probably about 1900. In Upper Bartlett is a neat little edifice, known as the " Chapel of the Hills," (picture below) built through the efforts of Rev. Mr. Souther among the people of the place, aided with a handsome contribution of three hundred dollars from a Mrs. Snow; who, however, died a short time before this object of her pious munificence was attained. The house was dedicated January 21, 1854, the interesting occasion calling together a large attendance, notwithstanding the deep snows of the mountain roads. Source: http://genealogytrails.com/newham/carroll/history.html chapel Another consideration as you try to figure out this picture: Perhaps when the picture was produced from its original negative it may have been reversed; To correct that, imagine if the chapel building appeared on the right side and the other buildings would be on the left. Main Street dated 1896, looking west at Mt Carrigain. That much is a definite fact. We have had some friendly debate about how the church fits into this picture. This editor has found that it was called "The Chapel of the Hills" . At the time of this photo it was on the front lawn of today's school. It was later moved across the street where it remains to this day (2019) but without the Bell Tower. About 1800 Obed Hall's Tavern was said to be in this area. Obed was one of the early prominent pioneers, arriving in Bartlett Village in 1793. His Tavern was in this area. The large building on the right is in the area where the Cave Mountain House was located, and one of those buildings is probably it. It was built in 1890 and burned in 1905.

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

This appears to be the late 1950's. The location would be in front of the old Garlands Restaurant . Chippanock Inn back left, the little building next to it was moved from another location. It was the oldest building in the Village at the time. It was torn down in the early 1960's. Notice the Shell Station on the right. You can't quite see it, but Mr. Clemons has a shirt with the Shell Logo , so we could presume he worked there. That location had a Gulf Station in the mid 1960's operated by a Mr. George Flynn. Mr Flynn and his family rented the Dot Stewart house down by Sky Valley. Flynn moved to Rochester, NH in 1968 and operated a much larger Gulf Station there, right in the center of town. As to the Bartlett Gulf Station, it sat idle for a time, in the early 1970's Mr. Richard Jones operated a restaurant called Fat Cats in the same building. It only survived for a year or two. It is currently the location of the Rogerson Construction Company .

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 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 The Emerson Inn was renamed to The Maple Villa during the 1920's. It burned to the ground in 1948. 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.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 Intervale Page 1 Intervale Page 2 Intervale Page 3 Intervale Page 4 Intervale Page 5 This 1952 photograph shows the northern end of what is now Rte 16A. 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. 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 1755 House. 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. Executed in 1945 The Chinese Shop in Intervale 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. White Horse and Cathedral Ledges. The large white building 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. The white building on the right was the Intervale Inn. The zoomed image below is part of the above picture to show the detail of the Clarendon Inn, The Intervale House and the Idlewild Inn. The picture below is the same area, but dated 1925. The Ernest and Jessie Hatch House - Thorn Hill Road Circa 1900 Photo and Story Courtesy of William Marvel and the Conway Daily Sun. 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. Read the rest of this story at the original source. Conway Daily Sun PumpkinHollow Pumpkin Hollow - 1909: This is on today's Rte 16A and the house is still there. (2023) Fairview The Fairview Farm and Inn 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).

Check the credentials of Mr Kaharl who taught in Bartlett in the 1890's. CLASS OF 1899 Bowdoin: Edgar Alonzo Kaharl, son of Edgar Morton and Annie Clark (Lawrence) Kaharl, was born 23 Dec., 1870, at Newton, Mass. He prepared for college at Phillips-Exeter Academy and entered Harvard in the fall of 1889, where he remained for two years. For the next six years he was engaged in teaching at Conway and Bartlett, N. H., and at Fryeburg Academy. He entered Bowdoin as a Junior and received the degree of A.B. in 1899. At Bowdoin he was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, received an English Composition prize and an honorary Commencement Appointment, and at graduation was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa society. He at once returned to the profession of teaching which was to be his life work, and took up the duties of principal of the high school at Hanover, N.H . Here he remained for three years, when he went to the Portland High School , as instructor in Latin. After another three years he accepted the principal ship of the Brunswick High School , where he continued till 1911, giving the strength of his best years to educating the youth of his college town. In 1911 he resigned from the Brunswick school and went to Germany, where he spent a year as exchange teacher in English at the Oberrealschule, in Wiesbaden. Returning to America he became principal of the Harrington normal training school in New Bedford, Mass ., and in 1914 of the Fifth Street school in the same city, where he was at the time of his death, which occurred, 25 Aug., 1916, at his home in New Bedford, of angina pectoris, after an attack of acute indigestion. Mr. Kaharl was a Mason. He married, 22 Jan., 1910, at New Bedford, Mass., Carolyn M., daughter of Samuel Adams and Martha (Shaler) Atwood, who survives him without children. Thank you to Mikell Chandler for providing the details surrounding this 1958 photo and for naming most of the individuals. "It was not Halloween, it was Christmas. Our pageant that year was at the Odd Fellows Hall because of work on the schools in preparation for the new school. This was the first and second grade, taught by Lucille Garland. I know the kids in hats were reindeer and elves, but I have no idea what the rest of us were (myself included). I know we did a skit and played Christmas songs with our rhythm instruments (rhythm sticks, triangles, bells, and Michael Washburn played the drum. I remember that because Mrs. Garland asked "Michael" to play the drum and I heard "Mikell" and was very excited. It was not me, however, as she told me that "Girls didn't play the drums." I was heartbroken. It was my first experience with sexism...from a woman I adored.

The Junior Ski Program: 1939 - present Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 In the winter of 1936, about the time that Carroll Reed was planning for his ski school, local notables including Dr. Harold Shedd, Noel Wellman and Chuck Emerson formed the Eastern Slope Ski Club to promote the area as a skiing destination, and to ensure that all local youths would be exposed to the new and growing sport. In the winter of 1939 the club started their Junior Program that allowed all local children to obtain ski equipment and take ski lessons; that program continues to serve all elementary school students in the Bartlett - Conway - area today. The photo below is early 1960's: Photo Location: Bartlett Elementary School - Bartlett Village - The program was held at The Cranmore Skimobile.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 Schools In Bartlett. Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 Share 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. 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. 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. 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. This photo is captioned, "The Glen School". The large building appears to be the church so I assume the shack like building is the school. ? Any thoughts dear reader ??? 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. 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.

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. This text was included in this issue of the Shield: 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

A strong wind and brutal cold didn't help matters. A bit of History First JANUARY 1980: Harry Rogers, 82, was born and lived on this family farm his entire life. Rogers lived with his niece, Betty Jackson. This is a farm that was worked by the Rogers Family for 200 years...Dating back to 1780, ten years before Bartlett became an incorporated town. The house and barns were originally built by Jonathan Tasker. (Photo at left shows Harry Rogers in brown coat and Lyman Garland, a next door neighbor, in red coat.) Jonathan Tasker was married to 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 Jonathan Tasker family was located in Bartlett in the late 1700’s, settling there between 1780-1790.and there reared his two sons - Ebenezer and Jonathon. 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. The fire started about 8 a.m. and by 10 a.m. what had survived for 200 years was gone in less than 2 hours. The cause of the fire was either an electrical problem or the pipe that Harry always smoked was carelessly placed and caught the hay on fire. Still no water and something bright erupts on the dwelling portion of the homestead. An 1892 map shows the property being owned by one T.S Rogers. J.C. Rogers is shown on the same map with property on the North Side of the Saco River in the Upper Village. The location is now the home of Jean Garland. John and Doug are her son's and they now live on what was the J. Nute farm in 1892. (Check the index of this website for information about the Nute's, there is even a picture of them as well as a link to the 1892 map). (The Tasker story can be found elsewhere on this website, see the link above in the main menu "PEOPLE STORIES ) About 10 a.m. and all the out-buildings except the garage are reduced to ash and rubble. All the water had to be brought to the scene by tanker truck. About 8:45 all the water on hand was used. George "Red" Marcoux was the Town Fire Chief in 1980. Water finally arrives at a time when 5 minutes seems like an hour The main house suffers severe water damage.and is deemed a total loss A little after 10: a.m., nothing left but the garage and a waterlogged main house that had to be torn down. The garage barn survived with no damage. It still stands there today, 44 years later, as a reminder of what once was. In this photo you can see Mr Rogers in brown coat wandering near the maple tree that he probably tapped for syrup at least 70 times during his life. Behind the "Army-looking" truck in the background is Betty Jackson's 1960 Thunderbird, which she bought brand new. It was rescued from the garage building, but a tractor stored in there was not so fortunate. Fire fighters on the scene. It is quite a contrast to compare the level of personal equipment the men wore then versus now. I recognize Jim Howard Jr, Buster Parker, Don Chandler and David Hayes in these pics. Can someone fill me in on the other names? Classic Title Next page, let the blame game begin. Controversy erupts in the weeks following the fire. Read the article on the next page by the Reporter Press to get the gist of the Story. I don't recall the exact outcome of this situation but I'm sure one of our readers can fill in the details of what happened. READ ON AT PAGE TWO

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.

Burdwood 5152 SW Old Clifton Rd, Port Orchard, WA 98367 Hi There ------------------- may 18, 2015: david r. sleeper 184 Napa Ridge Rd East, Naples, FL 34119 We lived on Route 302 in the house just to the west of Richard Jones home. We lived in Bartlett from 1946 to 1952 where my Sister Martha and I attended school. Lucille Garland was my teacher in first and second grades. I still cherish a photo I have of our 2nd Grade Class standing next to a gingerbread house. Dale Trecarten, Judy Cook, Chuck Garland, Bert George and a couple of others made up our class. My best to all of you. I have great memories of living in Bartlett and all our wonderful neighbors and friends. Thanks to all of the efforts of the Bartlett Historical Society I have learned so much about your small parcel of paradise. 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. Leonard's son Shem was a coppersmith and made the grasshopper on top of Faneuil Hall. , December 11 2014:Val (Tebbetts) Miller - Bridgton, Me 04009 Hi, I've been researching on Ancestry for a few years, found nothing about my grandfather Everett Tebbetts' service with MCRR. Something I was researching showed me the link to this site. It's awesome! I'll have to dig deep to find something to send you for this site. I do have a few pics of my grandmother, Evelyn, who managed the Bartlett Hotel. I spent MANY days with free reign of the place. Huge fun for a kid!

We love the town and everything about it. Donald & I grew up knowing and experiencing many great things about the area. Donald and his family camped throughout this area and snowmobiled and my family and I had a home off of West Side Road but always skied at Attitash in the days of Thaddeus Thorne and before snowmaking was ever introduced. We now live in the Victorian next to the school part time. Our son is still in school back in Massachusetts. We hope to become full time residents in a couple more years July 14 2014: Susan Nickel Greetings Bartlett Historical Society! Bartlett is an incredibly beautiful area! 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! Steve and Katey Innkeepers Bernerhof Inn nov 10, 2013: valerie calabraro 150 Yvonne Rd - Bellingham, MA 02019 I will always cherish my memories of Bartlett, There are times it feels like it was just yesterday and happy thoughts surface. 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.

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. We are cousins and have been separated a long time. I remember Bethany when she was about 5-6 yrs old. Her Mother, Pauline Garland Gaudette was my father's, Eben Garland, sister. I would like for Beth to get in touch with me as I have a lot of family history already done and would love to share it with her. Judith Garland Miller of Lake Helen Florida . August 19, 2012: Barbara Bartlett Sost - Plainsboro, NJ I have begun my personal search of my wonderful ancesters as a cousin I have since lost conact with indicated we were direct descendants of Josiah. I have traced some of us to parts of Massachusetts and of course NJ. I know I have many cousins out there and would love to connect with them. My father was George D. Bartlett born in Asbury Park, NJ. Feel free to reach out to me if you think we are connected. Looking forward to coming to Bartlett in the very near future. MAY 25, 2012: STEPHEN J. TAYLOR 5 Cardiff Court - ALGONQUIN, IL 60102 Many thanks for showing the Silver Springs Lodge place-mat. I worked there during the summer of 1968 at age 14 as my uncle, Emil Hansen owned the place at the time. By then, the gas station was a Mobil station. 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.

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.

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 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.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 Church St. Bartlett, NH 03812 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 10th Mountain Division 'Tales of the 10th' Features Familiar Faces MARTY BASCH, NH.com September 1, 2006 Young eyes peer from faces in the black and white photographs. Wavy hair or piercing looks, they are faces of men in their youth during a time of war. From training on the slopes of Colorado to the battle with the Germans on Italy’s Riva Ridge, the photos are of the men of the 10th Mountain Division and the names are linked to skiing in the valley and beyond. Name s like Herbert Schneider, Thad Thorne, Nathan Morrell, Robert Morrell and Brad Boynton are among those that fill the pages of “Tales of the 10th: The Mountain Troops and American Skiing” ($20, New England Ski Museum) It is written by North Conway’s Jeffrey Leich, executive director of the New England Ski Museum. “Hundreds of 10th veterans are influential in the ski business,” said Leich. “These guys were influential as well as hundreds of others.” The book is a glimpse into World War II and the evolution of the 10th, how it attracted some of the best skiers of the time, how they trained in Camp Hale, how they fought and the impact these men had on postwar skiing and mountaineering. Packed with photos and a bundle of stories, the book also provides a look into the history of war and skiing, from the a pair of Birkenbeiners skiing a two-year old Norwegian king Hakon Hakonsson to safety in 1205 to the ingenious Finns who battled the Russians in the Russian-Finnish War. The Schneider name is synonymous with Mount Washington Valley skiing. Hannes Schneider, who’s likeness is captured in a Cranmore statue, was a World War I mountain trooper. Son, Herbert, who sports a mustache, crossed arms and a huge smile in one photo, was given a Bronze star for his participation in combat during World War II. After the war, he returned to North Conway, eventually running Cranmore’s Hannes Schneider Ski School and becoming part owner. Thad Thorne was a platoon sergeant and spent much of the war in Luzon and then Japan. He spent more time in the Army, including a stint in the Korean War. In time, he served seven years as Wildcat’s first ski patrol director and then moved on to the development of Attitash, working his way along the ladder as operations manager, general manager and president. As a ski consultant, he aided in the plans for Loon and Wilderness in Dixville Notch. A shot of Brad Boynton in Tuckerman Ravine graces the book’s pages. Before the war, Boynton was a ski instructor in Jackson, along with future 10th Division members like Bob Morrell and Arthur Ducette. Boynton was one of the founding members of the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation. Bob Morrell started up Storyland in the late 1950’s while Nate Morrell continued to be active with the 10th after the war, serving for many years as chairman of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division. In one photo, the photographer is photographed. A lone skier schusses down the south slope of Homestake Peak in Colorado. The skier is Winston Pote, a U.S. Army Signal Corps photographer. He went on capture much of the New England skiing landscape, Tuckerman Ravine in particular, in his pictures. Bob Monahan, who chose the training site at Camp Hale in Colorado, later went on to found the Mount Washington Observatory. “One of the things that changed American skiing about the 10th was they took all these eastern skiers and put them in the Colorado Rockies in Camp Hale,” Leich said. “After the war, one could make a case, that without that the development of skiing in Colorado could have been slower.” Looking ahead, a number of 10th veterans are expected for the Schneider Cup at Cranmore March 12 and 13. Leich is planning to orchestrate a book signing with them. Also, research is underway for a spring exhibit at the New England Ski Museum focusing on the Civilian Conservation Corps and its trails. Seventy-five years ago the CCC began cutting trails and ski areas sprung up around many like Cannon and the Taft Trail, the Tecumseh Trail at Waterville Valley and Wildcat’s Wildcat. Bits and Pieces Bartlett, NH Tavern Fire, Apr 1879 THE BARTLETT FIRE.----Our Conway correspondent writes that the loss to Mr. N. T. Stillings of Bartlett, whose tavern stand and out-buildings were destroyed by fire on the 3d, is $5000, with no insurance. The loss will be a heavy one to Mr. S., whose popular tavern and stage lines were so well known among the pilgrims to "the Switzerland of America." The fire is thought to have originated from a defective chimney. The family of Mr. S, was away at the time of the fire.

_______________________________________________________________________________ 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. He is the brother of Jonathan. Deborah Sena sent us this picture of the cemetery site. Ebenezer is buried in the Intervale Cemetery. He is the brother of Jonathan. 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.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Thanksgiving History The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. The Plymouth celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that became the United States. The celebration became an important part of the American myth by the 1800s. This Thanksgiving, modeled after celebrations that were commonplace in contemporary Europe, is generally regarded as America's first. Elementary school teacher Robyn Gioia has argued that the earliest attested "thanksgiving" celebration in what is now the United States was celebrated by the Spanish on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. The original feast in 1621 occurred sometime between September 21 and November 11. Unlike our modern holiday, it was three days long. The event was based on English harvest festivals, which traditionally occurred around the 29th of September. After that first harvest was completed by the Plymouth colonists, Gov. William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and prayer, shared by all the colonists and neighboring Indians. In 1623 a day of fasting and prayer during a period of drought was changed to one of thanksgiving because the rain came during the prayers. Gradually the custom prevailed in New England of annually celebrating thanksgiving after the harvest. During the American Revolution a yearly day of national thanksgiving was suggested by the Continental Congress. In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom, and by the middle of the 19th century many other states had done the same. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a day of thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November, which he may have correlated it with the November 21, 1621, anchoring of the Mayflower at Cape Cod. Since then, each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt set the date for Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November in 1939 (approved by Congress in 1941) Abraham Lincoln's successors as president followed his example of annually declaring the final Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving. But in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with this tradition. November had five Thursdays that year, and Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday as Thanksgiving rather than the fifth one. In 1940 and 1941, years in which November had four Thursdays, he declared the third one as Thanksgiving. Although many popular histories state otherwise, he made clear that his plan was to establish it on the next-to-last Thursday in the month instead of the last one. With the country still in the midst of The Great Depression, Roosevelt thought an earlier Thanksgiving would give merchants a longer period to sell goods before Christmas. Increasing profits and spending during this period, Roosevelt hoped, would help bring the country out of the Depression. At the time, advertising goods for Christmas before Thanksgiving was considered inappropriate. Fred Lazarus, Jr., founder of the Federated Department Stores (later Macy's), is credited with convincing Roosevelt to push Thanksgiving back a week to expand the shopping season. However, many localities had made a tradition of celebrating on the last Thursday, and since a presidential declaration of Thanksgiving Day was not legally binding, it was widely disregarded. Twenty-three states went along with Roosevelt's recommendation, 22 did not, and some, like Texas, could not decide and took both weeks as government holidays. Critics termed Roosevelt's dating of the holiday as "Franksgiving". Proclamations - 1789 - 1793 - 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation [New York, 3 October 1789] By George Washington, the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. George Washington Proclamation of Thanksgiving Washington, D.C. October 3, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln This is the proclamation which set the precedent for America's national day of Thanksgiving. During his administration, President Lincoln issued many orders like this. For example, on November 28, 1861, he ordered government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving. Sarah Josepha Hale, a prominent magazine editor, wrote a letter to Lincoln on 28, 1863, urging him to have the "day of our annual Thanksgiving made a National and fixed Union Festival." She wrote, "You may have observed that, for some years past, there has been an increasing interest felt in our land to have the Thanksgiving held on the same day, in all the States; it now needs National recognition and authoritive fixation, only, to become permanently, an American custom and institution." The document below sets apart the last Thursday of November "as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise." According to an April 1, 1864, letter from John Nicolay, one of President Lincoln's secretaries, this document was written by Secretary of State William Seward, and the original was in his handwriting. On October 3, 1863, fellow Cabinet member Gideon Welles recorded in his diary that he complimented Seward on his work. A year later the manuscript was sold to benefit Union troops. By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.

Proclamation of Thanksgiving Josiah Bartlett - 1793 Josiah Bartlett was Governor of New Hampshire. In 1793 , just a few years after the First Amendment was ratified, he issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation. Remember how you hear that our early founders were atheists or deists? Read the proclamation and decide if he sounds like a deist. For one thing, he refers to "...the knowledge of and reverential love and regard to the One God and Father, of all,..." He also closes by using, "...in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety three..." The many favors the inhabitants of this State have been made the subjects of in the court of the current year, call for a public return of sincerer gratitude and praise to that Being from whom all our mercies flow; – And the Legislature having appointed Thursday the Twenty First day of November next, to be observed as a day of public Thanksgiving throughout this State: I have thought fit, by and with the advice of Council, to issue this Proclamation, exhorting the people of every denomination to dedicate said day to the duties of thanksgiving and praise, and to devote a reasonable part thereof in their respective places of public worship in a social manner, with grateful hearts and united voices in returning our most humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God for the unmerited favors He has been graciously pleased to confer upon us in the course of the present year now drawing to a close. In a particular manner, that He was graciously pleased to appear for us in the course of the summer past when, by reason of a severe and early drought, the hope of the husbandman seemed likely to be cut off and we were threatened with a great and general scarcity of the necessary fruits and of the field, that in the midst of judgment He remembered mercy and by sending plentiful showers of rain, the decaying and almost dying fruits of the earth were greatly revived; and that He has been pleased so to order the latter part of the season, that we are still blessed with a competent supply of the most of the necessary fruits of the field. That He had been pleased to continue to us the inestimable blessings of civil and religious liberty. That notwithstanding the tumults and confusions of the contending nations, we still enjoy the blessing of peace and good government. That we have been favored with a general measure of health, and that no waiting and pestilential disease has been suffered to prevail among us. And together with our thanksgiving, let us entreat the Father of Mercies, to continue us the blessings we now enjoy, and bestow upon us all further needed favors. That it would please Him still to have these United States under His Holy protection and guidance – that He would inspire those who have the management of all our public affairs with all that wisdom, prudence and integrity that is necessary to the faithful discharge of their important trusts, that all their determinations may tend to promote the real happiness and prosperity of this great and rising Republic, and that all people may be disposed to afflict in carrying such determinations into effect. That it would please God to over-rule the tumults and confusions among the nations, in such a manner as shall subserve to His own Glory and the best good and happiness of mankind, and that in His own due time, He would calm the angry passions of the contending nations and say to them, peace, be still. That God would be pleased to look down with an eye of compassion upon the whole human race, and dispel those clouds of ignorance, superstition and bigotry that overspread so great a part of the world, and that the knowledge of and reverential love and regard to the One God and Father, of all, and a true benevolence and good will to their fellow men, may pervade the hearts, and influence the lives of all mankind, and all Nations, Languages and Tongues be brought to join in singing, Glory to God in the highest, on Earth Peace and good will to men. It is recommended and expected, that all persons abstain from all servile labor and such recreations as are unbecoming the solemnity of said day. Given at the Council Chamber in Exeter, the Fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety three and of the Sovereignty and Independence of the United states of America the Eighteenth.

The Reporter Press & The Irregular Newspapers Covered the Story The fire was big talk around Town with some folks suggested the Chief didn't fight the fire like a pro and should be relieved. REMEMBER THE IRREGULAR NEWSPAPER ? It was one of the local newspapers before the Conway Daily Sun came along. This article written by Marcia Meehan. THEN WHAT HAPPENED ? Several years before the fire Mr Rogers had sold his interest in the entire property, and all the acreage, to the Attitash Lift Corporation. He retained a life estate, which entitled him to live on the property for as long as he lived. In the following months the fire debris was removed and a foundation was poured for a trailer to be installed on the same spot as the original house. Betty and Harry lived in this trailer until Harry died in 1989. At that time the trailer was removed and Betty moved to another residence on East Conway Road in Conway, where I assume she still resides to this day. (10-30-1990) The property now belongs to the owners of Mt Attitash. fires tasker Fires Curse the Tasker Family. Just to follow-up to the article on the Harry Rogers homestead fire of 1980. I wonder what the odds are of a 'family' having so many fires? If you check your Intervale stories you will see that the Fariveiw Cottage owned by Cyrus Tasker burnt down a number of times. But that is not all, in February of 1968 our family home in Chatham NJ built by my father George W. Tasker in 1938, caught fire and was substanially damaged (we had the local paper article, but I can't find it now). We did rebuild it but it was unihabitable for some time. Then in December 1992 the home of my brother's son, Howard Haskell Jr, was completely destroyed by fire. In both the recent fires, luckily, no one was hurt (but we did lose the family cat in the Chatham fire). Of course I am offering this tongue-in-cheek, but the odds certainly have to be long, particularly once you get to the end of the 20th century. Maybe a Halloween time article?

WHEN WAS RTE 302 DESIGNATED ROUTE 18? From 1922 until 1935, much of what is now US 302 was a part of the New England road marking system. Route 18, from Portland, Maine, northwest to Littleton, New Hampshire , roughly 112 miles. From Littleton west to Montpelier in Vermont, US 302 and Route 18 took different paths. NE-18 took a more northerly route, along present-day New Hampshire Route 18 and Vermont Route 18 to St._Johnsbury,_Vermont likely paralleling Interstate_93 then along present-day U.S. Route 2 up to Montpelier. Current US 302 runs along a more southerly route using other former sections of New England Interstate Routes. From Littleton, it went along former Route 10 to Woodsville,_New_Hampshire then along former Route 25 to Montpelier. The entire Maine segment of US 302 was formerly designated State Route 18, a route that was established in 1926 until being deleted in 1935 by US 302. ROOSEVELT TRAIL: The Theodore Roosevelt International Highway was a transcontinental North American highway, from the era of the auto trails, through the United States and Canada that ran from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon. Its length was about 4,060 miles. The eastern end of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway and the part through Bartlett and Crawford Notch was designated US 302 in 1935, and is still known in Maine as the Roosevelt Trail.[3] The highway was designated as a memorial following Theodore Roosevelt's death on January 6, 1919.[1] Michigan completed its section of the highway in the middle of 1926.[2] A 56-mile (90 km) portion of the highway over the Continental Divide through Marias Pass in northwestern Montana was not completed until 1930. Automobiles were carried over the pass in Great Northern Railway cars until the highway was finished.[4] Dedication ceremonies for the full route were held in Montana four months after the completion of the highway. The name fell into disuse after the 1930s with the 1926 designation of the United States Numbered Highway System that replaced much of its routing with numbered highway designations.[2] Road Accident, Jul 1880 A DRUNKEN DRIVER AND A TERRIBLE WAGON ACCIDENT ON MOUNT WASHINGTON.

One of the six-horse mountain wagons, containing a party of nine persons, the last load of the excursionists from Michigan to make the descent of the mountain, was tipped over. One lady was killed and five others were injured.Soon after starting from the summit the passengers discovered that the driver had been drinking while waiting for the party to descend. They left this wagon a short distance from the summit, and walked to the Halfway House, four miles, below, where one of the employees of the carriage road company assured them that there was no bad place below, and that he thought it would be safe for them to resume their seats with the driver who was with them.Soon after passing the Halfway House, in driving around a curve too rapidly, the carriage was tipped over, throwing the occupants into the woods and on the rocks. Mrs. Ira Chichester, of Allegan, Michigan, was instantly killed, and her husband, who was sitting at her side, was slightly bruised. Of the other occupants, Mrs. M. L. Tomsley, of Kalamazoo, Mich., had her left arm broken and received a slight cut on the head; Miss Jessie Barnard, of Kalamazoo, was slightly injured on the head; Miss Ella E. Meller and Mrs. C. Ferguson, of Romeo, Mich., and Miss Emma Lamb, of Howell, Mich., were slightly injured. Miss Emma Blackman, of Kalamazoo, escaped without any injuries. The wounded were brought at once to the Glen House, and received every possible care and attention, there being three physicians in attendance. Lindsey, the driver, was probably fatally injured. He had been on the road for ten years, and was considered one of the safest and most reliable drivers on the mountain. Mrs. Vanderhoot, of Chicago, also received slight internal injuries.
