( Photo below, 1983 at Attitash) Born May 25, 1924, in Pasadena, Calif., Thad was the eldest child of Harold W. and Margaret Comstock Thorne. He grew up in New Canaan, Conn., and spent his summers on Conway Lake in New Hampshire. When the U.S. entered World War II, Thad enlisted in the newly activated 10th Mountain Division, training on skis at Camp Hale in Colorado. As an army lieutenant, Thad saw action in the Pacific and was involved in the occupation of Japan. In 1951, he was recalled to duty and stationed in Germany. After World War II, Thad graduated from the forestry program at the University of New Hampshire, where he met his future wife, Virginia Chandler. They were married in 1949. He went on to earn a master's degree in forestry from the University of Michigan and then moved back to South Conway, where he and Virginia bought an old farmhouse and raised seven children. Thad enjoyed physical labor, clearing fields around his house, often pulling out the logs with his team of oxen. When Thad first moved to South Conway in the early 1950s, he opened his own survey business, Thaddeus Thorne Surveys. One of his earliest projects took him to Panama, where he explored and surveyed an extensive tract of land. Throughout his life Thad was involved in many aspects of the ski business. He ran the ski patrol at Wildcat, took part in the original planning of Attitash Mountain, served as president and general manager of the Attitash Ski Area for over 20 years, and designed ski trails for many resorts throughout New England. When Thad retired from the ski business he began a lumber milling business, which he enjoyed running for the next fifteen years. In addition, he spent many summers working as a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska. (Photo at Camp Hale Dormitories) For numerous years he also served the Conway community as both a selectman and member of the Planning Board. More recently, he took pride in his role as chair of the fundraising campaign to build the Ham Ice Arena in the Mount Washington Valley. Thad loved his large family. He cherished time spent with his many grandchildren. He traveled to places like Fiji, China, and Costa Rica with his adventurous relatives. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, skied the Haute Route across the Alps from France to Italy, and explored the jungles of Samoa. He especially loved fly-fishing in the New Hampshire lakes and rivers. As an outdoorsman and nature lover, Thad believed strongly in permanently protecting the lands and waters that enriched his life. Before he died, he placed most of his land in conservation easement. (Photo above, selling tickets at Attitash 1973) Thad Thorne will be remembered for his accomplishments, about which he was most humble, but also for his strong, persuasive and engaging personality. His was always a hearty greeting and firm handshake. He told a great story. He had an iron sense of ethics, unswayed by money or position. He was accepting of everyone, and formed strong bonds with the people he met through his many pursuits. All who knew him will miss his extraordinary presence. (photo above, training exercise at Camp Hale) He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Virginia Chandler Thorne; his two sisters, Mary Thorne Gould and Lydia Thorne Lucy and their husbands, Kingdon Gould, Jr. and Chester Lucy; his brother, Harold Thorne and wife, Evelyn McKinstry; his seven children, September Thorne Neville and husband, Richard, Halorie Thorne Rintel and husband, Theodor, Harvest Thorne Doucette and husband, James, Debony Thorne, Trillium Thorne Evans and husband, Mark, Thaddeus C. Thorne and wife, Elizabeth, and Jason Thorne; 22 grandchildren; and one great grandson. A celebration of Thad Thorne’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, , at the Thorne Residence at 312 Gulf Road in South Conway.

UNH Magazine Winter 2011 "Mountain Men" ---------------------------------------------------------- (Thad's Brother) Harold "Harry" Wooster Thorne Jr. (1927- 2016) of Oakland, Calif., and South Conway died at home on Nov. 25, 2016, a few hours after Thanksgiving Day. Born in Pasadena, Calif., Harry was the son of Harold Wooster Thorne and Margaret Comstock Thorne. His family moved to New Canaan, Conn., where Harry grew up. He graduated from Middlesex School in Concord, Mass., served in the Army until the end of World War II, and graduated from Yale in 1949. Harry drove from New Hampshire to San Francisco in 1950 and began working for the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co., leaving three years later to begin his career as an insurance broker with Johnson and Higgins. He was head of their international department when he retired in 1988. Harry and Evelyn (Muffy) McKinstry were married in 1952 and lived in Oakland, where their three children were born and raised. Their house of 40 years was destroyed in the 1991 Oakland fire. They rebuilt on the same property and lived there until 2014 when they moved to an apartment on Lake Merritt. Harry enjoyed all aspects of the great outdoors, especially fishing, backpacking, and whitewater canoeing. He and a great friend went steelhead fishing on the Klamath River every fall for three decades. Harry loved playing all sports and was able to play tennis until he was 88. While he relished competition, sportsmanship and giving his opponent a good experience were always his top priorities. Harry and Muffy spent parts of 18 summer vacations bicycling in Europe and the last 30 summers in South Conway, where Harry visited as a young boy and where his parents retired. Harry looked forward to spending holidays and the summer in South Conway with his immediate and extended family. Conway Lake and its preservation were particularly close to his heart. He loved fishing in a canoe alone or with a family member and came to know every rock, and perhaps every fish, along the shoreline near his house. Harry will be remembered for his huge, genuine smile, his respect for all people and his planet, and his absolute devotion to his family, his friends and the loons on Conway Lake. He set an extraordinary example of humility, generosity and civility. Harry is survived by his wife, Muffy; sons, Charles and his wife, Alisa, and Nathan and his wife, Margaret; daughter, Ann Whalen and her husband, Timothy; six grandchildren, Wells, Nathan and his wife, Natalie, Nicholas and his wife, Alexandra, Andrew, Harry, and Ellen Whalen; sisters, Mary Gould and her husband, Kingdon, Lydia Lucy and her husband, Chester; and sister-in-law, Virginia. Harry was predeceased by his brother, Thaddeus Thorne. Harry was devoted to environmental causes, particularly those dedicated to rivers and freshwater. Gifts in his memory may be made to Friends of the Earth, 1101-15th St., NW, Washington, D.C. 20005, Friends of the River,1418 20th Street, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95811 or The Conway Lake Association, P.O. Box 803, Center Conway, NH 03813. At Harry's request, there will be no service. Dale W. Trecarten, 75, of Bartlett, N.H., died Aug. 24, 2019, at the Memorial Hospital in North Conway.

Gerry was born in Binghamton, N.Y., on Dec. 14, 1937, to Clarence and Viola Disbrow. She moved to the Mount Washington Valley in the 1960s, quickly fitting right into the area. She lived a life marked by kindness, devotion and service to the community. Gerry dedicated 25 years as a secretary to the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. Many have spoken of how she was such an important part of their childhoods and have fond memories of her during their formative school years. She also served as a minister in many different roles for over 20 years. You could say she wore many hats. She spent countless hours every year laboring to make the best blueberry crisp which could be found at the church booth at the Fryeburg Fair. She was also a Justice of the Peace, Notary and had her own daycare while her children were young. She was a fierce advocate for victims of domestic and sexual violence and was an integral part of the creation of the Conway division of the organization Starting Point. Known for her caring nature and ever present willingness to lend a listening ear, she was often called an earth angel by those who knew her. Her love for the Lord was profound and she set an example of it every day. She found pleasure in the little things in life such as crossword puzzles and bird watching; both reflecting her peaceful and thoughtful nature. She leaves behind her legacy of kindness and service and will be cherished and remembered by all that knew her. Her family will especially miss her unique home made coleslaw as it was always a crowd favorite and requested at all family gatherings. Preceded in death by her husband of 22 years Richard Tilton ; daughter Colleen Allen ; grandson Ethan Allen; and stepson David Tilton. She is survived by her son Craig France and his wife, Nancy; son Charles Thompson and his wife, Kimberlee; stepson Dickie Tilton and wife, Linda; stepdaughter Kathleen Turner and her husband, Kenneth; stepdaughter Mary; stepson Jeffery Tilton and wife, Tracy; granddaughters, Melissa Rendleman and Jenny France; step-granddaughters, Alleson Huckaby and Sarah Talbot; grandsons, Dustin Allen, Seth Allen and Liam Thompson; great-grandsons, Jordan Devon Jackson, Ryan Rendleman, Ryon Pandora-Allen and Rhett Walker; great-granddaughters, Marilyn Allen, Beatrice Allen and Colleen Allen; and many more nieces and nephews. Every winter Gram would do a “snow dance” to hurry along winter as it was her favorite season. This winter when the first snowflakes falls, we are sure it will be her dancing up in Heaven. She will be missed by many, but she will live on in the hearts of all those whose lives have been touched by her. The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. on Aug. 10 at the First Church of Christ UCC at 2521 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. Following the funeral, the family would like to invite you to her celebration of life at the Red Parka Pub in Glen, N.H., from noon to 2 p.m. Both the funeral and celebration of life will be open to the public. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Gerry’s name to Jen’s Friends. === =================================================== Richard D.

Woodbine Cottage 76. Woodshed (the) Fosey's Roadhouse 1920-1971 The saga of hotels, inns and taverns is integral to the history of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Early settlers were quick to realize the potential value of offering lodging to teamsters, explorers and naturalists. As the region’s fame spread, businessmen and prosperous farmers began to visit the mountains. When travel to the “Crystal Hills” became easier, the area blossomed into a playground for the well-to-do. Before the era of railroads and big hotels accommodations were somewhat limited. There were many small taverns where wayward travelers and stage coaches stopped. One of such Bartlett's earliest establishments, that still exists, is the Mountain Home Cabins. The current Mountain Home Cabins originated in the early 19th century, probably as a stage stop. It was originally part of the Stillings family land and when the 10th Mountain Highway was established they operated a toll booth just a tad west of this location. It later became the property of James and Emeline Nute They sold the business to Clifton and Lucille Garland. The cabins were built two per year starting in 1931. In the 1920's, before the cabins, it operated as a campground. Cabins being a seasonal operation allowed Lucille to be a school teacher i n Bartlett and Clifton tended milking cows and delivered milk . The property continues to be operated by Clifton's grand children who also operate Bear Notch Ski Touring Company from the site as well as cabin rentals.

Choose from the links shown below: Upper Village Area Intervale Area Glen Area As early as the mid 1800's entrepreneurs even endeavored to place hotels atop mountains. There were more than one. This one was atop Mount Washington. It burned in 1870, was rebuilt and burned again in 1908. Upper Village Area Intervale Area Glen Area Historic Lodging Map

Scotty Mallett is working on this section Please check the menu at top left for more pages. The Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad was chartered on February 11, 1867 to run from Portland to Fabyan, a junction at Carroll, New Hampshire in the White Mountains, where the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad would continue west. The tracks reached Bartlett Village in 1873. Their track joined in a ceremony at the summit of Crawford Notch on August 7, 1875, then opened on August 16, 1875. The P&O Railroad Tames Crawford Notch After reaching Bartlett in 1873 the P&O Railroad faced the arduous task of building the rail line through Crawford Notch to Fabyan. It took two years to build that section of less than 20 miles. Our friends at White Mountain History have compiled a very good story and pictures of the challenges facing the railroad builders.

A Detailed History of the St. Josephs Catholic Church in Bartlett, NH --The Beginning -- Assembled by Phil Franklin Bartlett Historical Society, Board of Directors December 2016 Mission While we have been very focused on the project to transform St. Joseph Church into the Bartlett Historical Society Museum, we have also been working to assemble the history of the church. To do this, we have had to rely on different sources of information (i.e. people and documents) as we have found that there is no one source for this history. Also, in doing the historical research, we have identified some discrepancies in things such as dates for events and there are gaps in the history as we cannot seem to locate any documentation about the history for the majority of the 1900’s. To the best of our efforts, we have tried to clarify the discrepancies as either typographical errors or in some cases interpretation of handwriting from the 1880’s and 1890’s which was not always clear. The bottom line is that this history is a work in progress and we welcome any help from people in the community with documents, pictures or recollections. This article will focus on the beginning years of the church – 1888 - 1891. Sources for this information include: * “Bartlett, New Hampshire … in the valley of the Saco” by Aileen M. Carroll, Phoenix Publishing, 1990 * Correspondence from Father J. N. Plante to Bishop Dennis Bradley from 1888 – 1891 copied from the archives at the Offices of the Diocese of Manchester as well as other documents from the Diocese * Correspondence from Littleton Savings Bank, June 16, 1890 An Idea for a Church is Born From 1856 to 1888, the Catholic community in Bartlett was organized as a mission of the All Saints Church in Lancaster, NH. From 1888 to July 14, 1902, the affiliation of the Bartlett Catholic community fell under the mission of St. Matthew’s Church in Whitefield, NH. During these years, it appears that the Catholic community in Bartlett and the surrounding towns was growing. This is where Father J. N. Plante of St. Matthew’s Church enters into the picture. The idea for a Catholic church in Bartlett started out of a need seen by Father Plante while he was stationed at St. Matthew’s Church. Before there was a church in Bartlett, people from this area needed to travel to Whitefield for services, the sacraments and any other spiritual needs. Remember, travel in those days was only by rail, horse, horse and buggy or, in the winter, sled so it was quite a journey to get to Whitefield. In a letter to Bishop Dennis Bradley on May 17, 1888, Father Plante wrote of several St. Matthew’s church related items (on St. Matthew’s letterhead) and at the very end of the letter, almost as a footnote, added, “I shall write to you soon concerning the building of a Chapel to Bartlett this summer.” We presume that the reference to “this summer” is when Father Plante intended to write more about his idea for the Bartlett church not that he planned to build in the summer of 1888. In a follow up letter to the Bishop dated November 22, 1888, Father Plante again mentions the Bartlett church writing, “I am glad to let you know that I have bought a church lot over to Bartlett. The payment thereon shall be made some time in January next and a Warranty Deed shall be made to your name.” At this point, the ground work was laid for the new Catholic Church in Bartlett. Land Acquisition, Financing and Initiation of Construction Records go on to show that the closing for the land did not occur until May 13, 1889. On that date, Emily A. Meserve sold a parcel of land on Carrigan Street to “Rev. D. M. Bradley” for a sum of $125.00. The land totaled “twelve thousand five hundred square feet more or less.” The lot dimension were 125’ x 100’. Carrigan Street is now known as School Street in Upper Bartlett or Bartlett Village. Plans for building the church were in motion but no documentation has been found to describe the steps being taken until a letter, again on St. Matthew’s Church letterhead, dated June 20, 1890 outlines a series of steps taken and concerns raised. We know from other documents that the actual construction started with the digging of the foundation hole on May 15, 1890 and that the stone work for the foundation was completed on June 1, 1890. Father Plante’s June 20th letter to Bishop Bradley reveals several things. First, he tells the Bishop that he “gave out the job of the stone work to a man from Berlin Falls. His name is Louis Rodrique.” The letter goes on to say that Mr. Rodrique was contracted to build a “good stone wall three feet in the ground and 1½ above - built with good land and lime and cement mortar … the thickness of the wall will be 2½ feet.” This contract for the foundation was written for $325.00 and the dimension of the church based on the foundation size will be 36’ x 58’. Father Plante continues in the June 20th letter by turning his attention to the money needed for the building. He says that he can raise the money to pay for the “wall” (foundation) but cannot go on further this year without help from the Bishop. The “help” requested is in the form of having the Bishop provide backing for loans that Father Plante was securing for the building effort. In the next paragraph in this letter, Father Plante outlines his plans for borrowing the money needed for construction. He mentions two sources of money. First, he notes a man in Whitefield who is known to the Bishop. He identifies this man as John O’Neal. Father Plante feels that Mr. O’Neal “could accommodate us very well with $1200 or $1500 and would take your note for security.” The second source of money is the Littleton Savings Bank. A letter from Mr. O.C. Hatch at the Littleton Savings Bank dated June 16, 1890 concludes with the statement “we can furnish the money, 1,000 $ [sic] or 1,500 as you prefer. They [bank directors] will waive the rule that we have if the Bishop makes the [unreadable word].” As a side note, the Littleton Historical Society, Curator Dick Alberini identified Mr. Hatch as Oscar Cutler Hatch, born in Newbury, VT on November 11, 1848; Mr. Hatch’s occupation was listed as “Banker” among other civic titles. Back to Father Plante’s borrowing - A note on a statement listing construction costs shows that the bank note was written for $1,300. With his financial “burden” (referencing the money) presumably secured, Father Plante awarded the construction job to a “Mr. Dana.” In the same June 20th letter, Father Plante also outlines the start of his plan to pay for the building. He says that he plans to hold a “fair in the building as soon as the frame be up, boarded and shingled.” He concludes this information packed letter by writing “The families are few in number in Bartlett, but still in their number and poverty, I believe that they can pay in time for their church.” From this one letter we learn a great deal about the character of Father Plante and his determination to build this church. A letter on August 1, 1890 from Father Plante to Bishop Bradley reveals that there must have been some discussion about using Mr. Dana for the building work versus two other men from Berlin Falls. In this letter, which provides some detail on the construction materials to be used, Father Plante states that Mr. Dana has provided an estimate of $3,300 for the building cost. The other men, identified only as “Turgeon and Biland,” provided a similar but slightly lower cost estimate ($300 less). While we do not have any documentation that provides a final statement of the contractor who was awarded the work, Father Plante writes very favorably about Mr. Dana so we will presume that Mr. Dana continued as the contractor. We will continue to look for evidence of who actually built the church. Building Completion and the Bishop’s Blessing We do not have any documentation of the actual construction but from the dates by which the construction was started to the point at which the first mass was celebrated, the building process must have been an all-out effort. The first mass was celebrated on November 9, 1890, making the construction effort a mere 179 days from start to finish. At that first mass, the choir from Whitefield sang the hymns. In yet another letter to Bishop Bradley dated October 2, 1890, Father Plante invites the Bishop to Bartlett writing “I wish you would come over sometime in October to see the beautiful little church of Bartlett. St. Joseph has granted our prayers for now the church is standing and shall be soon ready for worship.” (The reference to St. Joseph is presumed to be because Joseph, the father of Jesus, was a carpenter.) Bishop Bradley finally came to the church on August 30, 1891 to bless the building and officiate at the first communion of seven children plus 20 confirmations and one faith conversion where Thomas Colbath of Albany was baptized. As it was opened, St. Joseph was the first Catholic Church in the Mount Washington Valley. The church served the spiritual needs of people from Upper Bartlett plus Livermore, Redstone and Intervale. This was a regional church in its early years. St. Joseph Church was originally named Sacred Heart Church but in 1937, the name was changed to St. Joseph. We have not found why this name change occurred but a reference in the diary of Bishop Bradley dated August 30, 1891 states that he “dedicated the church to St. Joseph.” Completion Cost With all of Father Plante’s concerns about money, the church was built for the total sum of $2,732.28. The largest expense was the carpentry with a price of $1,725.28. The total cost included the lot, construction costs, furnishings, three years of insurance and loan interest. In the first year of the church’s life, the parishioners raised $1,253 toward payment of this debt through concerts, suppers and a fair. Observations about Father Plante Obviously, Father J. N. Plante played a central and critical role in the building of St. Joseph Church and the formation of the Catholic community in the area. While we have not discovered any biographical information about Father Plante, we can deduce something of his character from his letters to the Bishop. For example, Father Plante seems to have been one who acted without necessarily getting permission. We reach this conclusion by his 1888 and 1890 letters where he tells the Bishop of progress and his intentions relating to the building of the church rather than asking permission. In other letters in 1891, Father Plante makes two separate references to a troubling illness that has overtaken him. In a letter dated May 21, 1891, he writes to the Bishop reminding him that he had written earlier saying that he could not attend a conference sponsored by the Bishop and was expressing his dismay saying to the Bishop “I am sorry that to see that you have condemned me by not replying.” He later blames his illness on “the hardship of the mission.” In another letter on September 3, 1891, Father Plante again makes a direct appeal to the Bishop for support from two other priests because he is too sick to attend to his duties. He writes “I have seen already three physicians and they all agree in saying that unless I have complete rest, my health would be injured for life.” In this letter, he requests a three week vacation to recuperate. We have not found any follow up reference to his recovery or otherwise but again, we’ll keep looking. On another topic, Father Plante makes reference in his September 3rd letter to a “piece of land I own in Bartlett.” He describes land which is now the soccer field and school park between the church and railroad tracks and says that he has an offer of $225 for this property that he is contemplating selling. Finally, again, a reference from the Bishops diary on August 31, 1891 shows the Bishops private admiration for Father Plante as he writes “He is a most excellent priest.” Summary and A Request for Your Help We now have some detail on the beginnings of St. Joseph Church. The research we’ve done on the church has shown that there are many gaps in the documentation that we have uncovered so far. We will continue our search for records through the Diocese of Manchester and possibly through Our Lady of the Mountains but we could use the help of anyone who has knowledge of the history of St. Joseph Church. Below are some things we would like to know: * Were there maintenance records kept and, if so, where are they now? * Pictures of the church show a bell tower as recently as the 1960’s but in the 1990 Centennial picture the tower is gone. When was it removed, why and where is the bell? * Pictures of the church from the early 1900’s show a tall structure attached to the back of the church. From reading some other documentation, a passing reference is made to a priest’s apartment in the church but that reference is not identified as the tall structure; does anyone know what this structure was and when and why it was removed? * Does anyone have pictures of the interior of the church prior to Vatican II when the altar was moved from facing away from the congregation to facing toward the congregation? If you have them, can we please borrow them to scan into a computer or are you willing to donate them? * Was there ever a renovation done to the church? In an earlier picture, we see a dormer on the north side of the church near the back of the building. That dormer is gone now but, again, we would like to know why it was there (possible for the priest’s apartment?) and when it was removed. As we learn more about the history of St. Joseph Church, we will add to this narrative and publish new information on the history of this historic building. PO Box 514 - Bartlett, NH 03812

Farm and buildings established in 1780 by j. tasker. A strong wind and brutal cold didn't help matters. A bit of History First JANUARY 1980: H arry 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. 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 ) 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. 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

Library History Bartlett, N.H. Jean Garland, The Face of the Library for 55 years, 1953 to 2008 These articles appeared in the Conway Daily Sun. Click their logo to read the article at their website. The story is reproduced here since story links sometimes get moved and no longer link correctly, if at all. Kathy Van Deursen has been leading the way since 2009 Conway Daily Sun, December 2021: By Richard Chrenko and Kathy Van Deursen, special to The Conway Daily Sun BARTLETT — While reading the book "Bartlett, New Hampshire — In the Valley of the Saco," by Aileen Carroll, we came upon the information that the Bartlett Free Public Library was established in 1896. As you will learn in this article, the library has had its “ups and downs.” The “downs” were when it was situated in two different basements. The “up” occurred when the library finally got to the first floor of the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School. In addition to these moves, over the period of about 100 years, the library moved vertically up 10 feet and horizontally about a quarter of a mile. This article has information from three main sources; the Bartlett history book mentioned above, a history of the library written by Jean Garland on her many years as librarian and comments by our present librarian, Kathy Van Deursen. The Bartlett book mentions that a Conway and Bartlett Social Library was incorporated in 1802, and by 1820 had 175 volumes. In 1896, the Bartlett Free Public Library was established in the basement of the Congregational Church, located at the blinking-light intersection of Bear Notch Road and Route 302 in Bartlett Village. We now go forward 50 years to 1946, when Jean Garland became a “fill-in” librarian when Mrs. Amadon, the town librarian at the time, was unable to be there. At that time, Jean was still attending high school, which was then located where the Bartlett school is today. The library was still in the basement of the Congregational Church and now had about 1,000 books. In winter, the library depended on a wood stove for heat. Jean became librarian in 1953 and book circulation was slightly over 2,300. A few years later, the first move came when the church put in a cement floor and central heating. It was nice to just turn up a thermostat to keep warm. In 1959, Bartlett began to send high school students to Kennett and the library moved to the basement of the school. It took some time and effort to turn the old woodworking room into a library. Jean’s desk was sometimes so overloaded with books that she had to use a grocery cart from Grant’s to handle the overflow. Low winter temperatures in the basement between 50 and 60 degrees meant wearing a winter coat while in the library. In 1964, Jean achieved a personal goal of hers, when the town appropriation for the library exceeded the town appropriation for the dump! Also in 1964, the Bartlett Public Library received the award “Outstanding New Hampshire Library.” Other programs were started, such as the Summer Reading Program. In 1968, a “4000 Footer” Reading club was the theme of the summer program. A member would receive a 1,000-foot credit for every book read. At the end of the summer the children were taken up some 4,000 foot peaks. Summer film nights were also conducted for the children. Starting in the 1960s, the public library also served as the school library and Jean was hired as a school aide. She continued her education over the years and in 1985 earned a bachelor's degree in library management. In 1985, the school and public library made an agreement to become a combined public/school library and separate budgets were established for each. In 1988 , during major school construction, the entire library of over 8,000 books had to be moved to the first-floor first grade classroom for the summer. In that location, some makeshift shelves collapsed, and books hit the floor. This was the first time the library was on the first floor, if only temporarily. At the end of the summer the library was moved back to the basement despite Jean’s concerns about the possibility of flooding during heavy rainstorms. This location also offered limited access for the community and the disabled. Jean’s fears came true when during a huge rainstorm the library was completely flooded. Attempts to remove the water and moisture and turning the heat up to 90 degrees never really eliminated the moisture problem and the library began to smell, or as Jean said, more appropriately, STINK. The smell permeated the whole school, eventually the entire library, books, furniture and shelves had to be moved again — this time to the school hallway while new carpeting was installed and then back to the basement. The library was again partially flooded a few years later. In the late 1980’s there was another school building project so the entire library was moved yet again, to the first floor room used by the preschool, involving over 10,000 volumes. Then back to the basement. In 1990, the library was moved in to a new spacious location on the first floor of the school where it exists today and where the public can enter directly without going into the school. Jean titled her history of the library, “Bartlett Public Library on the Move” which title seems very appropriate. Jean retired in 2008, and Kathy Van Deursen took over. At the time of Jean’s retirement, the library collection was nearly 23,000. Kathy took over directorship in January 2009. Her favorite story of her hiring was when Jean shared the information as to why she was chosen ahead of the other candidates. Jean said simply, “Because you were obviously a lover of the library, I have been seeing you and your children here in the library for years.” After an informal training session with Jean, Kathy took over. We use the term informal because having been the Librarian for 55 years, there was no precedent for training successors. It was a bit of trial by fire, Jean stored all her knowledge and experience in her memory and shared it through wonderful stories while keeping herself very available for support, it wasn’t easy for her to let go of her “baby.” In 2010, Elizabeth Kelsea was hired by the trustees as assistant librarian. After 10-plus years in the position, Elizabeth is a familiar face and a fixture in the library. An avid reader herself, she is always happy to talk books and introduce new authors. At the time of Kathy’s hiring the trustees were actively pursuing the establishment of a new, free-standing public library. This was always a dream of Jean’s to solve parking issues at the school, have more space for a growing collection as well as allow programming during the restricted school hours. The community was split on the project, separation of public and school, and split again on location — some wanted Glen some wanted to keep it in the village. The trustees continued to raise funds to support this move, but it quickly became clear that raising the necessary funds seemed an insurmountable challenge. At about the same time, the school offered the public library some adjacent space that allowed for expansion in the current location. The school also reconfigured the parking lot creating additional parking spaces and created a space within the building, a community room, which is available for hosting larger events. In this way many of Jean’s concerns were addressed. In addition, the library has undergone renovations over the past couple of years with the last major one taking place this past summer (2021). Once again, the library was on the move, everything traveled down the hall to a couple of classrooms while carpeting was replaced, walls were painted and the sagging book shelves were replaced. The library also purchased two new computers and a new book drop was purchased with funds from an ALA grant. As the finishing touches on the renovation take place the establishment of the Jean Garland History Collection, a special collection of New Hampshire and Bartlett history, has been given special recognition and location within the library. In 2006 ,The Friends of the Bartlett Public Library, a 501(c)(3), was established to promote and support the library with fund-raising (an annual used book/bake sale), special projects and programming. The volunteer Friends group continues in this capacity, facilitating a monthly book discussion as well as a number of New Hampshire Humanities programs, a newsletter, the Summer Reading Program for Children and the purchase of museum passes. The combined school/public library has worked well over the years and is one of only a few in the state. The location is in the Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, hours and additional information regarding the library can be found at bartlettpubliclibrary.org; by calling (603) 374-2755; or emailing bartlettpubliclibrary@roadrunner.com . Patrons have access to public computers, Wi-Fi, copiers and a fax machine as well as online access to Overdrive, and don’t forget all the books and periodicals. History Detectives: How did the Bartlett Library get to be 125? | Local News | conwaydailysun.com JANUARY 2005 LIBRARY NEEDS MORE SPACE: Jean Garland, who has been the town librarian since 1953, met with selectmen last month as well to explain the space plight. The town has had a library since 1896, when it started out in the Union Congregational Church basement in Bartlett Village. In 1953, when Garland came to preside over the periodicals, the library had 1,100 books and one encyclopedia dated 1898. By the late 1950s, the library had exhausted this space."In 1959," Garland said, "Bartlett High School closed, sending its students to Kennett High School. One of the trustees, Flora Jones, suggested we look into moving into the school basement where the school industrial arts shop had been located. The school board approved, and a newly formed Friends of the Library, library trustees and the librarian cleaned the many years of coal dust from the exposed pipes, and painted the walls. New shelving was installed, and over the next few years this space was adequate. We once again ran out of space, and over the next couple of years we expanded our space in the basement twice.Garland said the library has undergone many changes since 1979 due to construction and flooding, among other issues. "In 1980," she said, "we were in a completely renovated library; unfortunately, it was in the basement, was not easily accessible to the public and prone to flooding. Garland also recounted the school's major building project of 1989, which meant tearing down the 1930s structure and constructing a new building to meet the needs of Josiah Bartlett Elementary School into the '90s and beyond."We now had a totally new combined library finally at ground level with handicap accessibility, a public library entrance, and for a time, adequate shelving," said Garland. "The library served both the community and the school well during most of the '90s. We were, however, once again running out of shelving space, storage space and meeting space. We often had inadequate and sometimes no parking spaces for the public library patrons."Garland said space has become a huge issue over the 1/19/25, 11:24 PM Librarian said public/school library is running out of space | News | conwaydailysun.com https://www.conwaydailysun.com/news/librarian-said-public-school-library-is-running-out-of-space/article_7a2fd78a-5f2a-5666-b85d-0d37b095c9b1.html 1/2 past year. The library currently has 18,850 materials with the town collection being 12,984 books and 5,903 in the school collection. This does not include encyclopedias and some reference materials."As it appears there is no room for further expansion in the school it is now time for the public library to start planning how to meet our community's needs," said Garland. "Knowing this will take considerable time and funding the trustees feel it is time to begin the process now."Garland also informed selectmen that library officials are asking the town to set up a capital reserve fund for an expansion.

Intervale Station researched and written by Scotty Mallett Intervale Station, located 64.4 miles from Portland, Maine, was originally named Intervale Junction. It was a junction point between the Maine Central and Boston and Maine Railroads. The information on the beginning and operations of this depot are sparse to say the least. However, what is known is that the Intervale Station was the crew change point for the famed “Mountaineer” that came up from Boston to Intervale. Once the train crews swapped, the B&M crew would stay in a caboose on a sidetrack waiting for the return of their equipment. Here is some more information from Dwight Smith, former owner of Conway Scenic Railroad: "The railroad station at Intervale, NH was served by both the Maine Central and Boston & Maine Railroads. The final Maine Central passenger train was on the date the MeC discontinued rail passenger service between Portland, ME and St. Johnsbury, VT. (1958) I’m not sure when the B&M ended service to Intervale, but the final B&M passenger train from Boston to North Conway was a RPO/Express/Coach Budd-liner about 1960. ( What's a Buddliner, you ask? Picture at right ) The MeC and B&M occasionally interchanged freight cars at Intervale, which included tank cars of petroleum products that originated in Portland, destined to Conway, NH. With the establishment of Conway Scenic RR (1974) and until the end of Maine Central service to Intervale (1958) second-hand passenger and freight cars plus carloads of coal were interchanged from the MeC to the CSRR. Today (2019) Passenger Trains of Conway Scenic Railroad running between North Conway and Bartlett, Crawford Notch, Fabyans, and the MeC bridge over the Saco are utilizing former Maine Central RR tracks that passes through Bartlett and makes connections to the former B&M tracks at “Mountain Junction” in Portland Maine." The sidings at Intervale could hold a maximum of 41 cars. There was also a freight house next to the station. The freight house is now located at the Kearsarge Cemetery, functioning as an equipment shed. The station closed on August 17, 1958. It survived as a private dwelling and in the late 1980’s it was moved off site and incorporated into a 2 storied private home in the Intervale area. P.S. We know that the Intervale Depot was located on the North Conway side of Intervale but as it was in throwing distance of the Bartlett town line and it was the first depot to be built after the year hiatus in building the line, we thought we would throw this in for free.

B&M RR Historical Society Newsletter March - April 2008 - Memories By Ted Houghton The Intervale Post Office back in the 50's was in a little building just north of the station. The B&M track was on the west side of the station, and ended at the NW corner of the station. The PO was in a direct line with the B&M tracks, with a paved parking parking between the two. Extending about 2/3 of the way northward across the parking lot was a deep set of grooves in the pavement, about 4' 8 1/2" apart. Ted Drew, the old Postmaster, told me of their origin. One day a train didn't quite stop when it should have, and went off the end of the track, headed right for the Post Office. Ole Ted saw it coming and bailed out the side window of the PO. Fortunately the loco stopped before making it all the way across the parking lot. My folks bought an inn in Intervale in 1950, when I was 6 years old. I remember picking up guests at the Intervale station in the very early 50's, and then the B&M cut passenger service back to North Conway, so we had to go down there. A little later, service on the Conway was totally curtailed, so then for a year or two, Dad would go to Berlin to pick up folks. Several times I rode trains from Intervale or North Conway down to North Station, all by myself, to visit my grandparents who lived out in Dover MA. And then there were the ski trains . What a sight it was when the train pulled into North Conway in the morning and hundreds of skiers, with their skis over their shoulders, would trudge up Kearsarge Street to Cranmore, where they would spend the day on the Skimobile. I had some Snow Train paper (schedules, menus, etc.), which I sold on eBay a couple of years ago - went like hotcakes. It was interesting to watch the fortunes of the North Conway depot rise and fall. In the early 50's, it was fairly well kept up and was a dark green. After a paint conversion to the more modern tan and maroon, it fell into disrepair and was boarded up for several years. Then Dwight Smith, with the backing of some local businessmen, brought the Conway Scenic RR to life and beautifully restored the station. That's the extent of my recollections of B&M activity in Intervale/North Conway. My big regret is that I didn't start taking pictures much sooner. (Don't we all have that regret-ed). memoriesintervalestation Houghton Maine Central RR Newsletter 1951 William Burdwood Jr . 1951 - Grandson of Bud Burdwood - Bartlett George Peters - Section Forman at Bartlett Frank Boothby - Agent at Intervale - died Agent A.E.

Moulton Cem Jess Davis The Moulton Cemetery contains just one monument, notably that of John Moulton 10/31/1845 - 14yrs10mo - Son of Abner & Nancy B Moulton and Samuel E. Moulton 10/30/1845 - 16yrs9mo - Son of Abner & Nancy B Moulton. The two brothers most likely died of one of the common contagious diseases of the time. Possibly small-pox since victims of that illness were often buried alone, isolated from others. Their sister, Susan, married Benjamin Stillings and is buried in the nearby Stillings-Towle Cemetery, which is well-documented on Find-A-Grave. She died 01/12/1876 - 49 yrs, 3 mos. Moulton was her maiden name. According to a link from her page to her father’s, Abner Moulton is buried in Vermont, so most likely the family moved there at a later time. Thanks to Jess Davis for expanding on our information and to Angela Huertas for sparking the original interest. Cobb Cem Details of Parker/Cobb cemetery provided by Mike Eisner. (January 2022 This information was found on a Facebook site, "Crawford Notch & Environs History Group") In reviewing the past posts, I noticed a few posts about the Cobb Cemetery aka Glidden Field Cemetery. I am very familiar with this cemetery. The people buried there are my uncle’s ancestors. There hasn’t been a lot published concerning the Parker and Cobb families. They are important families for Hart’s Location and Bartlett as their history in the area goes back prior to 1830. In the late 1970s and early 1980’s, my extended family use to get together and hike up to railroad tracks to the cemetery. It was usually my grandmother, my mother and all us kids (cousins). The expedition was always led by my Aunt Judi. She led the group because she knew where the cemetery was. Back in those days it wasn’t so easy to find. I will never forget going there. To me it was deep in the woods. It was dark even if it was sunny. Surprisingly I never found it creepy. It was always peaceful. I remember the big trees all around. There were no weeds, just some moss. We would take stone rubbings and clear up fallen branches. All the stones were standing. We loved looking and reading the names. Sometimes there were two names; Hiram Parker and Hiram Parker as well as Phebe Cobb and Phebe Cobb. Hiram and Hiram were father and son while Phebe and Phebe were mother and daughter. I think I asked this same question every year “why are there two sets of graves with the same name?” For years we made the journey to the cemetery. As we got older and started our own lives, we stopped caring for the important graves. Some of the family, mainly my cousin and I, still go there every year to see what’s going on. I don’t live nearby so I visit when I can. I do know that other relatives visit very yearly, when they are in the area. For a while we could not see the cemetery because of all the ferns and underbrush that grew up after some trees were cut down. I know that some nice people went in and took care of it. They erected the main stone, etc. I’m glad someone cared enough to save what was remaining. Sadly most of the stones have fallen and were in bad shape. Time certainly was not a friend here. Here is everything you might need to know about those buried at the cemetery. It follows below. I have also included a map that shows who lived where in the basic Cobb Farm Road area up to Sawyers in 1861. In 1870 the land near the cemetery was valued at $2000 and owned by E Cobb. Think of E Cobb as near where the Cobb Farmhouse is currently. H Parker is Hiram Parker Sr. Treasurer of Harts Location. If you notice the homestead is near the Cobb Cemetery’s location. This may be the cellar hole people have mentioned. P Moulton is Perkins Moulton L Moulton is Levi Moulton Behind where my grandparents house was are the graves of two of the Moulton children. A story for another day. Oddly enough there’s a F Cobb - Freeman Cobb that lives near E Cobb but not on this map. Phebe Cobb Born 10/3/1827 Died 8/1/1850 - 22 years Sister of John O. Cobb (lived at the Cobb Farm and is responsible for annexing his land from Hart’s Location to Bartlett) Sarah Cobb Born 1830 Died 9/18/1853 - 23 years Sister of John O. Cobb Hattie M. Glidden Born 1/13/1873 Died 2/4/1873 (not 2/1/1873) - 18 days John Glidden - father Harriette Parker - mother Flora A. Glidden Born 11/5/1875 Died 1/29/1876 - 2 months John Glidden - father Harriette Parker - mother Flora died of a bad cold. Hattie and Flora’s mother was: Harriette Parker She died in child birth on 1/27/1877 in Hart’s Location. Harriette is Hiram and Martha’s daughter. Hattie and Flora’s father was: John Glidden was from Gardner, Maine. He remarried after Harriette’s death. Phebe Haley Cobb Born 2/20/1802 Died 10/25/1875 Mother of John O. Cobb Died of paralysis Ephraim Cobb Born 7/17/1798 Died 10/5/1882 Father of John O. Cobb Hart’s Location toll collector “Unknown” Hiram Parker Sr. Born 1805 Died 1/10/1892 Father of Harriette Parker Glidden Hart’s Location Treasurer and clerk of marriage and deaths Married twice: 1. Martha Jones and 2. Dorcus Patch Martha Jones Parker Born 1808 Died 8/13/1877 Wife of Hiram Parker Sr. Hiram Parker This is Hiram Parker Jr. Son of Hiram and Martha Parker Brother of Harriette Parker Glidden Born 1842 Died after March 1883 I hope you found this information interesting. Please let me know any further info if you have any. There are a lot of connections between the Parkers, Cobbs, Stillings, Higgins and more. Too much for one post. Jess Davis of Bartlett has been instrumental in compiling this list of Bartlett Cemeteries and taking a personal interest in their well-being. She has been restoring gravestones and whole cemeteries for about 15 years. As a middle school teacher, she has led over a dozen field trips to clean, repair and reset gravestones in Indiana Maine and New Hampshire cemeteries. She is more than happy to edit or transfer memorials--just ask!

Eudy SOURCE: History of the Fifteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, pg 214 1862-1863 By Charles McGregor History of the New Hampshire Surgeons in the War of the Rebellion, by Conn Granville Priest Dr Leonard M. Eudy was born in Bethlehem, New Hampshire on January 8, 1843. He attended the Bethlehem school system through grade 12. At the age of nineteen, in September of 1862, he enlisted in Company C 15th Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers as a private along with his brother, Ephraim, age 25 and his older brother, William David Eudy, who enlisted on the same day as Leonard. In December of 1862 Pvt Leonard Eudy boarded the steamer ship Cambria at Brooklyn New York. Ephraim was left behind due to illness, but caught up with the Regiment later. So far I have found no further reference to William's military service, but he returned to Littleton after serving for 15 months, also in Co. C. His occupation is listed as a farmer, married Maria Woodbury on December 31, 1870, The Cambria embarked on a twenty-six day cruise from Brooklyn, around Key West and finally ending up in Carrollton Louisiana (New Orleans). In Carrolton on January 18, Sunday. a cold, east wind was blowing a gale. Charles B. Ela, Company C, was accidentally shot in thigh, and died soon after amputation. Ela was the tallest man of Company C, and received his wound at the hand of the shortest man of the company, Leonard M. Eudy. They were just relieved from guard, and in a playful mood Ela took on the point of his bayonet a hollow soup bone that lay there, which Eudy undertook to knock off in a jocular way, when his gun discharged its contents into Ela's thigh, completely shattering the bones. Eudy was called the "bantam". He was a mere schoolboy at the time of this sad accident, and his sensitive nature was so deeply shocked that he never recovered from its effects. After a month at Carrollton Eudy's Company took up residence at Camp Parapet about a mile upstream from current day New Orleans. Life at this camp was described as monotony at its finest. This was not to last as Company "C" spent the next six months of 1863 fighting in the swamps of Louisiana. They were a part of The Siege of Port Hudson and early in the Civil War the control of the Mississippee was of major importance to both the North and the South. It's ultimate control by the Northern forces was a critical part of winning the war. Company C had the dubious distinction of suffering the highest number of deaths of all the Companies in the Regiment. Of the 71 original members 30 died, only 4 from battle related injuries, the rest from illness. Both Leonard and Ephraim were mustered out of service in August 1863. Early in 1865 Leonard commenced his medical education at Harvard University under the direction of Drs. Charles Tuttle and Henry Watson. In 1870 Leonard began his medical practice in Littleton and moved to Bartlett in 1871. While practicing in Bartlett in 1877 an epidemic of small pox broke out in a lumber camp. Eudy assumed charge of the camp and established a pest house. Within a few months Eudy himself contracted the disease and died at the age of 34 on November 28, 1877. His grave site is a solitary grave at the base of Cave Mountain, surrounded by a black iron fence. His marker plaque was replaced by a preservation committee led by Roger Marcoux in the late 1990's. The Doctor's Cemetery at the base of Cave Mountain. It was not unusual at the time for those who died from smallpox to be buried far away from others. Leonard Eudy's simple stone. Hard to read so you will have to visit in person to read it. Eudy

Very good resolution, zoom in to see the trees (almost). Captain Vere Royse was a soldier and surveyor and at one time served as surveyor-general of the Province of New Hampshire. He made charter maps for many White Mountains towns, including Chatham, Bartlett and Bretton Woods. In 1769 He was granted 2000 acres near the Saco river between Glen and Bartlett; This encompassed the area from present Day Harts Location Town Line and Rogers Crossing. The land was given for his services "during the late war in North America," but Captain Royse never settled here. The peak west of Evan Notch and nearby East Royse were named for him. The name Royse Mountain appeared on Samuel Holland's 1784 map. Thomas Chadbourne was born in Berwick Maine,March 26, 1736, the son of William and Mary Chadbourne. His Grant of 3000 acres is part of the area today know as Harts Location. Between 1772 and 1775 Mr Chadbourne sold his grant to Richard Hart. Mr Chadbourne was also granted acreage in Conway in 1773, where he settled and built the first framed house in that town. He married Hannah Long of Portsmouth in January 1758 and fathered eight children. He died on March 7, 1810.

Progress of Bartlett History Museum from Catholic Church to History Museum in Bartlett, NH Church - Early History 1950's showing the upper dormer for the Reverend's room, an addition on the back and a basement entryway. The building to the left is part of the Bartlett High School. 2016 - The idea of transforming to a Museum is explored by the Historical Society Directors and the Community. 2016 - Historical Society Directors look things over and assess the needs. 2016 - The needs are great. The sacristy is where the Eucharist bread and wine are kept when not being used along with clergy vestments and parish records. 2016 - Water damage and mold is a major problem. In 2016 The Historical Society Directors must make a decision. Do we try to renovate this building??? Or do we keep looking for alternatives??? 2017 and 2018: Decision is made to move ahead and the idea is floated in front of the community. We think $450,000 will do it. Let the fund-raising begin. By 2019 enough money had been raised to begin the renovations. Phil Franklin, the BHS President, takes an active role in the work. Photo below shows hazardous material removal - everything stripped down to the framing. After the haz-mat work we had a clean frame and an environmentally safe structure August 2020: Enough money has been raised to replace the roof Completely Rebuilt August 2020: Roof is finished and more inside work can proceed We also replaced the heating/cooling and electric systems During 2022 and 2023 the inside work continued along with replacing all the windows and outside siding.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , The Morrells and Storyland In 1953 Bob and Ruth Morrell returned from military service in Germany with the idea of starting up a children's theme park, preferably in North Conway. They soon discovered that commercial real estate in that area far exceeded their five thousand dollar savings for the venture. Travelling five miles west, to Glen, they discovered a 100 acres parcel that was formerly operated as Harmon's Sawmill. They became the new owners with the expenditure of half their savings. Story Town opened in 1954, changing the name to Storyland the following summer season to avoid confusion with Storytown USA that opened the same year in Glens Falls, NY. During their first season the admission was 85 cents, children under 12 got in free. The summer of 1954 drew 15,300 visitors. (The Glens Falls Storytown is still operating but with a couple of name changed along the way, it now is called "Six Flags".) During the winters, up until 1961, Bob worked for Carroll Reed Ski Shop in North Conway. Reed thought Storyland was a bad idea and that surely it would go broke in short order. Click the picture for a larger version "Pop up" A Brief history of storyland A Bartlett success story Anchor 1 When the US Army sent Bob and Ruth Morrell to Germany in 1950, the North Conway, NH couple found something they hadn’t expected. Her name was Frau Von Arps and she created for them a marvelous collection of small, intricately designed dolls inspired by the children’s stories with which they grew up. As their tour drew to a close, Frau Von Arps suggested that when the Morrells returned home, they might want to build a small village to house their prized collection. But the Morrells had a bigger idea—a vision of bringing the characters and their stories to life in a safe and natural setting where children and their imaginations could run free. Punctuated by the kaleidoscope of flowers and emerald fields of New Hampshire’s beautiful White Mountains, Story Land was born. It was the summer of 1954 when Humpty Dumpty, the Old Woman in the Shoe, the Three Little Pigs, Peter Rabbit, and other iconic characters inhabited the site of an old saw mill. The only ride was Freddy the Fire Truck, a real fire engine that took guests on a path through the woods. Bob and Ruth were gratified when visiting parents expressed their sincere appreciation for a clean venue in a rural setting, staffed by courteous young people, where families could create precious memories. Years later, Bob once said, "We had no competition; but nobody expected this crazy idea to survive anyway." Each year, they put all their money back into the park, adding new features and improving old ones. As Story Land grew through the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s, the families that visited the park grew as well. Many of the parents and grandparents who visit today first came to Story Land as children themselves, and they love to share the joy of Story Land with their children and grandchildren, returning year after year to enjoy their old favorites and to see what's new. Bob and Ruth's two children, Stoney and Nancy, had come to love and appreciate the park in which they grew up. It seemed only natural that with the passing of their parents in the 1990s, they would honor their memory and don the mantel of operations. Stoney held the reins from the mid 1980s until his own passing in 2006, when sister Nancy guided the park into a storybook marriage with the Kennywood Entertainment Company family of theme parks in 2007.

He was 50. Morrell died Sunday, the same day Heritage New Hampshire closed its doors for good. His parents, Ruth and Bob Morrell, opened Story Land in the village of Glen in 1954. The amusement park, which is aimed at younger children and features characters and attractions from nursery rhymes, has drawn tourists from southern New Hampshire and the greater Boston area for half a century. Bob Morrell opened Heritage New Hampshire next door in 1976 to showcase the state's history, but the attraction's attendance had fallen off. Morrell "stepped into very big footsteps after his father died," said Dick Hamilton, former president of White Mountains Attractions, of which Story Land was a founding member. "He continued to work to make Story Land one of the top-rated parks here in New England." Storyland will continue operating with the management team Morrell put in place, Hamilton said. Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, said Morrell continued to improve on the dream he shared with his parents, adding a new attraction to Story Land every year. He also emphasized traditional childhood themes and provided a safe experience, instead of following the trend of slick sets and scary rides, she said. Morell "built Storyland into a premier, stately attraction, having the courage to dismiss the neon, Hollywood and thriller rides that were in vogue," she said. Morrell was born two years after his parents opened Storyland. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978 and went to Wyoming to try ranching for a while, then rejoined the family business in the early 1980s. After his father died in 1997, he carried on with Bob Morrell's favorite project, the restoration of the Flying Yankee train. The elder Morrell bought the train in 1993 from the Edaville Railroad and sold it to the state for $1. Restoration is continuing at the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln. "Stoney picked up the torch and started running with it," said Paul Giblin, president of the Flying Yankee Restoration Group. "He certainly had a great passion for tourism and thoroughly understood his dad's vision. There is much more to the train than its restoration — they saw it as a way to give people hope and inspire creativity." Morrell was generous to his hometown, donating money to establish the Bartlett Village Park and buying the fire department its first ladder truck in 2004, said Storyland spokesman Jim Miller. He also mentored many people in the White Mountain tourism industry and served on local and state boards. "He did not look for the spotlight. He was a quiet benefactor," Miller said. Morrell is survived by his wife, Foley; his son and daughter; and his sister, Nancy. Funeral arrangements were incomplete Monday. OBITUARY: Robert S. Morrell, at 78; June 23, 1998 Robert S. Morrell, the founder of Storyland, a tourist attraction in Glen, N.H., populated by Cinderella, Humpty Dumpty, and other fantasy figures, died of cancer Friday in his home in Kearsarge, N.H. He was 78. Mr. Morrell was born in Manchester, N.H. As a youth he was a ski instructor at the Eastern Slope Ski School in Jackson, N.H., and Mount Cranmore in Conway, N.H. After studying business administration at Bay Path Institute in Springfield, he served in the Army's 10th Mountain Division during World War II . In 1944, he sold insurance in Manchester, N.H., and in 1948 he opened an ice cream company in North Conway, N.H., but the Korean War halted that enterprise. In 1953, while he was stationed in Baumholder, Germany, he met a German doll maker who fashioned her creations after storybook characters and sold them door-to-door. When she told him her idea of a make-believe village based on the characters, Storyland was born. Mr. Morrell returned home and created Story Land the following summer on Route 16 in Glen with his first wife, the former Ruth Taber , who died in 1990. The attraction drew 15,343 visitors at 85 cents a head in its first year. Over the years, the park offered more than characters such as The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Cinderella, and Humpty Dumpty. A miniature train, flying wooden shoes, and a space ride added to its popularity among children. In 1975, the Morrells created an attraction for older visitors. Heritage New Hampshire featured animated displays, movies, and slides portraying 350 years of state history. The son of a railroad man, Mr. Morrell in 1993 bought the Flying Yankee, the nation's third streamlined passenger train. He eventually sold it to the state of New Hampshire for $1. The nonprofit Flying Yankee Restoration Group Inc. was formed to raise $1 million to restore it and hopes to begin carrying passengers again on July 4, 2000. Mr. Morrell served on several local boards, including the Mount Washington Valley Habitat for Humanity and the Conway School Board. He served as a citizen ambassador to China in 1994 and to South Africa in 1995 as a delegate for People to People International. Storyland is now operated by his son, R. Stoning "Stoney" Jr., who said his father's greatest asset was his curiosity. " He was relentless in his pursuit of things unique," his son said, "whether that meant finding something around the corner or something he saw on the other side of the Earth while traveling. He was a hands-on, in- the-ditch kind of boss who loved the excitement of new challenges." In addition to his son, he leaves his second wife, Miriam Andrews Morrell; a daughter, Nancy Morrell Coan of Stuart, Fla.; three stepdaughters, Carolyn Williams and Sylvia Stephenson of North Andover, and Janet Kibbee of Penacook, N.H.; a brother, Nathan of Watertown, N.Y.; a sister, Marion Morrell Owen of Colebrook, N.H.; and four grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are private. A celebration of his life is being planned FURTHER READING AT THE MOUNTAIN EAR CHRONICLES: The Long Road to Happily-Ever-After July 8, 1977 (SORRY - THE LINK IS GONE) by Jane Golden of the Mountain Ear Staff .

The fire-truck caught our eye immediately and it was permissible to climb up on to it. My brother, twelve at the time, wanted to sound the siren and horn but they wouldn't work. After investigating the situation a little he announced, "I see the problem, the battery is disconnected". He proceeded to connect the wire terminals and blasted the siren and the horn. It only took a minute or two for Storyland personnel to come running and told us, in a friendly way, that we were no longer allowed near the fire-truck. This editor's Recollection: My own lasting impression of both Bob and Stoney Morrell was their ability to meet every one they encountered on the same level. There was never any suggestion, pretense or an "I'm better than you" attitude. In fact, they both had the ability to make each person they spoke with, regardless of that person's station in life, feel like their opinion was both valued and important. Their ability to sincerely listen to other people's opinions and ideas, all the while, imparting very little of themselves unless urged was truly impressive. Some were surprised to find Bob and Ruth living in a relatively modest ranch type house in Kearsarge, reflecting their low-key lifestyle. Despite their phenomenal ambition, enthusiasm and success both personally and financially, anyone meeting them would conclude that they aren't a whole lot different than me. And I think that's just how they wanted it. Lion coffee Bob Obit

History of the Bartlett Experimental Forest at Bartlett New Hampshire. NH BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 Bartlett Experimental Forest Bartlett Experimental Forest What's going on up in those woods? The Bartlett Experimental Forest is within the Saco Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. It is managed by RWU-4155 of the Northern Research. Station. Research activities began at the Experimental Forest when it was established in 1931 and is 2,600 acres in size but will likely double in area with the forest plan revision that is being written. The BEF extends from the village of Bartlett in the Saco River valley at 680 ft to about 3,000 ft at its upper reaches. This particular site was chosen because it represented conditions (soils, elevation, climate, tree species composition) typical of many forested areas throughout New England and northern New York. The White Mountain National Forest , including the BEF, was purchased under the Weeks Act of 1911. In the late 19th century, the area was selectively logged for high value species, first eastern white pine and red spruce and later sugar maple and yellow birch. Logging railroads were laid and hardwood stands were clearcut for locomotive fuel. The lower third of the BEF was logged and some portions cleared for pasture. Upper portions were progressively less impacted with increasing elevation. Although fires are relatively rare, the 1938 hurricane did widespread damage. High grading resulted in more American beech, so when the beech scale-Nectria complex, or beech bark disease, arrived in the 1940s it caused substantial damage and continues to influence stand dynamics. An ice storm in 1998 was the most recent widespread natural disturbance, impacting mostly higher elevation stands. Occasional wind storms are common disturbances, but of relatively small scale. There are areas of old-growth northern hardwoods with beech, yellow birch, sugar maple, and eastern hemlock being the dominant species. Even-aged stands of red maple, paper birch, and aspen occupy sites that were once cleared. Red spruce stands cover the highest slopes. Eastern white pine is confined to the lowest elevations. In 1931-32 the Bartlett Forest was gridded with 500 permanent 0.1-ha square cruise plots spaced 200 by 100 meters apart. After an initial measurement of all woody stems larger than 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter, a majority of the plots (441) were remeasured by 1-inch (2.54 centimeters) diameter classes and species in 1939-40 and again in 1991-92. This 60-year data set includes areas (55%) that were cut for experimental purposes using single-tree selection, diameter-limit cutting, group selection, clearcutting, shelterwood, and thinning. Another 45% of the Forest has not been harvested since at least 1890. The Forest has no history of recent fires, but a 1938 hurricane did substantial damage, particularly at the higher elevations, and the area sustained severe damage from beech-bark disease in the early 1940's. Two other natural disturbances may be occurring on this Forest: red spruce decline associated with acid deposition and migration of tree species upslope as a result of climate warming. Wildlife species on the Bartlett Experimental Forest depend on the array of surrounding forest and riparian habitats on the extensively forested mountain slopes. No forested and aquatic habitats are minor components of the overall landscape. At least 15 species of amphibians and reptiles, 90 bird species, and 35 mammalian species have been known to occur in the area throughout the year. Charismatic megafauna like moose and black bear can be seen: redback, spring and two-lined salamanders and wood frogs are also found, as well as a number of raptors (red-tailed hawk, goshawk, barred owl, and saw-whet owl), a variety of neotropical migratory birds, permanent residents (crossbills and redpolls); and an array of bats, small mammals, forest carnivores (weasels, fisher, bobcat), snowshoe hare, and white-tailed deer. The most serious problem facing woodland managers in the Northeast is a lack of knowledge about the ecological relationships between wildlife habitat and forest management in northern hardwoods and associated ecosystems at various levels. This information is essential for integrating wildlife habitat maintenance and improvement with other forest management goals including timber production and maintenance of aesthetic qualities.

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

Early view of the Stanton Farm before a ski slope was envisioned. The buildings on the left are the original farm buildings. In the tracks of ski history Couple restores old Stanton Slopes lift shack into guest haus By Tom Eastman Reporter Reprinted here with permission from the author. — BARTLETT — The New England Lost Ski Areas Project tells the stories of New England's gone but not forgotten ski slopes. Started as a Web site, and now the subject of a recent book by founder Jeremy Davis, a member of the board of directors of the New England Ski Museum, New England Lost Ski Areas Project gives all ski-history wannabes a glimpse at what once was, when many a ski area dotted the countryside, in most cases with power services by a tractor- or Model T-powered rope tow. To date, Davis and his partners have profiled 593 lost ski areas in New England and 75 elsewhere in the organization's 11 years on the Web. One of the areas profiled on the Web site and in the book, “Lost Ski Areas of the White Mountains,” is the old Mount Stanton Ski Slope that ran in the 1930s and into the 1940s in Bartlett, on the north side of the Saco River, at what is now the Stillings Grant subdivision. Part of its claim to fame is that a young skier named Pete Seibert (1924-2002), a Massachusetts native who went on to develop the Vail ski resort in Colorado, skied there as a kid growing up in Bartlett. Seibert was born on Aug. 7, 1924, in Sharon, Mass. He spent much of his youth in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where he practiced with Austrian instructors who had left Europe as war seemed imminent. By 15, he was winning races. According to Jeff Leich of the New England Ski Museum, Seibert's father arrived in town in the 1930s to serve as a civil engineer with the Civilian Conservation Corps as they performed forestry projects in the Bear Mountain area, and the family rented the Stanton farm. As Leich wrote in an article for the ski museum, “Sketches of Bartlett Ski History,” Seibert — a member of the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame — recounted his early Bartlett skiing years in his autobiography that “we probably lived in one of the first ski-in/ski-out homes in the U.S." A few years later, Seibert joined the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division, and was seriously wounded in Italy. After the war he settled in Colorado, where he worked for the Aspen Ski Patrol and qualified for the 1950 U.S. Ski Team — all this after having been told by doctors he might never ski again. He worked in the ski business, and remained intent on finding a mountain on which to start a resort that would combine fine skiing with a European style village. “Anyone who has visited Vail knows how well one-time Bartlett boy Pete Seibert succeeded in realizing his vision,” writes Leich, who resides in North Conway. • • • It's a long way from Bartlett to Vail, but on a recent blustery but sunny Saturday morning, Leich and I accepted an invitation to visit the old slope site where the young Seibert got his start. Through the go-between work of local ski history buff (and award-winning bartender) Jeff Grdinich of the White Mountain Cider Company Restaurant of Glen, we were invited by landowners Deb and Dan Holland of Massachusetts to visit the site. They had bought the lot from developer Joe Berry at Stillings Grant, which includes parts of the old Stanton Slope. The Hollands said they had sold their timeshare at the Attitash Grand Summit Resort, and, through Berry's input, had used the proceeds to buy the lot. The Hollands intend to build a home eventually on the lot, but until they do, they have come up with an interim plan/ They hired local contractor Jon Hill of Fryeburg, Maine , who last fall transformed the rotted old lift shack at the top of the slope into a handsome, free-standing guest haus. They don't plow the 200-yard drive to their renovated haus in winter, so on that blustery Saturday, Leich and I made the short trek up to the haus, where the Hollands awaited on the porch which looks west out to Attitash and Bear Mountain. Outside lay the old engine that had once powered the lift. “I'd like to get that restored some day,” said Holland, who works in the banking industry, and who — like his wife, a retired nurse — is a longtime Attitash skier and cross-country enthusiast. They have been coming to Mount Washington Valley to ski with their four now-grown children for years. Once at the haus, we were invited inside. The former lift shack is now a cozy one-room mountain getaway, with pine walls, expansive windows and a gas stove. Kerosene lanterns provide the only illumination. There is no kitchen or bathroom — hence, they frequent local establishments, and take their showers at the Attitash Mountain Village sports club across from Attitash. “We have breakfast at Bart's [Deli], and we usually have dinner at White Mountain Cider Company,” said Dan. “[Realtor] Rich Samia told us there was one lot with an old ski shack on it, that there used to be a ski slope on it. So, we went to the NELSAP Web site, learned some of the history, and Joe [Berry] drove us up here so we could have a look. We said this should be saved, because there's a lot of history here and we want it to be saved. We came up here, saw the views, and it's just beautiful — so here we are,” said Dan. Samia introduced them to Jon Hill, the Fryeburg carpenter. “We really like Jon — I think he has a real feel for what we were trying to do. He used a lot of the old materials; he used the rough-saw wood to keep it looking like the way it was built,” said Dan. Due to the site's relative isolation, Hill had to haul a generator on his pickup truck to the site to power his tools. “It was quite a project for him. He did it last fall for us,” said Dan. In making the transformation, the ever-arty and resourceful Hill added a new floor and insulation as well as new rafters. The rustic character of the old shack shines through. “There used to be a woodstove over on this side, and where it came through the roof, water had gotten in so that wall had collapsed, so he had to replace that wall, but he used wood that was pretty close to what the old wood was,” said Dan. The night before, the haus interior temperature was quite cold when they arrived, but by morning, “It was 54. Then once the sun came up, it heated up — and now it's 70 again. But it takes awhile because the building is so cold, it takes a while to heat the wood up. It will stay like this, a little cabin, and some day the grandkids will come in here and camp,” said Dan. The interior is pleasingly decorated, showing off the ambience of an Old Towne wooden canoe. Showing their love for ski history, one wall of the couple's renovated shack shows a framed painting of a vintage 1940s couple skiing. “We got that at Zeb's,” said Debbie. She and Dan were very enthralled when we two visiting ski historians told them that the inspiration for the “skiing couple” painting is a 1940s black and white photo taken of the late Toni Matt and Paula Kann, legendary Austrian skiers who made Cranmore their home after coming to America. (Matt won the legendary 1939 Mount Washington Inferno by schussing the headwall in Tuckerman Ravine, and Kann was a member of the 1948 Olympic team who later married Swiss ski instructor Paul Valar of Franconia.) “Well, that's why we invited you guys up here!” laughed Dan. They say they will use the guest haus as an adjunct to their home when they build it. • • • From there, our party of four trekked back down the hill, and drove on the development's access road to the bottom of the hill that once was Stanton Slope . At the bottom of the slope, they led us to the old ski ticket shack . Yours truly had visited it some 20 years before, and I was thrilled to see that it has stood the ravages of time — but just barely. It wasn't in good repair 20 years ago, and it certainly is leaning some now. It looks like the playful houses at Story Land, the difference being that those leaning structures at Story Land were built that way. The shack is not located on the Hollands' property, but like their haus, they would love to see it somehow preserved. “This is pretty much what we started with with our shack,” laughed Debbie, as she crawled through the trees that have grown up at the entrance way to the shack. “Jon did an amazing job for us, he really did,” she added, comparing the old ticket shack to their now renovated ski haus. Broken bottles littered the wooden floor of the open-windowed shack. As we stood at the shack and gazed uphill past a new home in the development, we could make out the Hollands' ski haus peaking above the trees in the distance. “It was a pretty good drop, I'd say,” said the ski museum's Leich, saying he had checked the NELSAP Web site prior to coming over for the visit that day. • • • The Web site contains the following information: “Stanton Slopes: Before 1938-Late 1940s: Stanton Slopes, located about a half-mile east of Bartlett, was a small ski area, of which not too much is known. In 1938, the ski area had an 800-foot tow which served a 100-foot drop (1938 N.H. Winter Sports Guide). According to the late 1940's World Ski Book provided by Wayne Silver, the area had grown to include "a 1,200-foot tow which serves the 30 acres of open terrain suitable for all grades on a 300-foot vertical drop known as Stanton Slopes." No other listings appeared after the late 1940s, so “it had probably closed by then,” writes Davis. The Web site contains some anecdotal information from current Stillings Grant resident Peter Villaume: “I happen to live on the hill that the Stanton Slopes was once. It happens to be the ‘common lands’ of Stillings Grant development. On Dec. 11th of 1999 there was a severe wind storm (100 plus-mph micro burst) that tumbled in excess of 1,100 trees in the development. This also opened up the old ski hill with one of the tow buildings showing again.This is a fairly rolling area, and could have been a real challenge to traverse before large packers were readily available.” • • • Leich says that young Seibert wrote in his autobiography that when his family moved into Bartlett “there was a rope tow in the side yard” and that he was an Eastern Slope Inn golf caddy. “Apparently he heard Lowell Thomas and Harvey Gibson talking about ski resorts down there, and that's what got him thinking about ski resorts,” related Leich to the Hollands. Leich recently gave a talk on some of Bartlett's early ski history for the Bartlett Historical Society. In that presentation and in an article he wrote for the ski museum, Leich said, “In Bartlett as in many other New England villages in the 1930s, the first significant ski trails were cut by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC cut two trails in Bartlett in the summer of 1933 — the Maple Villa trail on Bartlett Mountain in Intervale, and the Bear Mountain Trail south of Bartlett village. The Maple Villa started very near the New England Inn, and was a popular trail with ski train passengers due to its proximity to the Intervale and North Conway railroad stations. It dropped 1900 vertical feet over 2 1/4 miles, and was rated for beginners and intermediates.” The CCC's Bear Mountain Trail , Leich said, was divided into an upper and lower section by the crossing of the then-new Bear Notch Road. The upper section was for experts, with a vertical drop of 1,700 feet in less than 1 1/2 miles. “It became a quiet favorite among the White Mountain ski trails, and became the particular domain of the Schussverein Ski Club, which ran an invitational race there from 1937 until the war years,” wrote Leich. Shortly after the 1939 arrival of Austrian skimeister Hannes Schneider in North Conway, he and his instructor Franz Koessler surveyed the Bear Mountain Trail and recommended that it be rated a Class A race trail. This designation was granted by the Eastern Amateur Ski Association, and meant that the Bear Mountain joined four other New England trails — the Wildcat, Nose Dive, Taft and Thunderbolt — as venues for racing's most severe tests. Leich shared the following story with the Hollands as they gazed out from their guest haus toward Attitash and Bear Mountain the day of our visit: The legendary 1939 American Inferno on Mount Washington, he said, had its genesis at the third Schussverein invitational downhill on the Bear Mountain Trail. Leich said that early ski promoter Alec Bright wrote to the White Mountain National Forest supervisor after visiting the trail on Bear Mountain back in 1939: "Last week,” Bright wrote, “as we stood on Bear Mountain and viewed the complete snow covered beauty of Mount Washington, there was a hue and cry from the old guard that we must revive the old Hochgebirge Inferno Race, which means the old down Mount Washington Race from summit to Pinkham Notch. In a matter of weeks, Leigh related, Bright and his Ski Club Hochgebirge had organized the race that is remembered today for Toni Matt's hair-raising schuss of the Tuckerman Ravine headwall. So, there was a tie-in after all to the painting of Toni Matt on the wall of the cabin — let alone Stanton Slope and Vail. To think it all started in Bartlett... STANTON FARM Eastman Story
