A Timeline of Livermore 1864 to 1965 1864: An In-Law of the Saunders', Nicholas G. Norcross , who was known as The New England Timber King, had been very active in deepening and widening the Pemigewasset and Merrimack Rivers to make them suitable for floating timber to his mills in Lowell, Massachusetts. He purchased 80,000 acres of land then known as Elkins Grant, which would later become Livermore. Upon the death of Mr Norcross, the Saunders brothers, (Daniel, Charles and Caleb) successfully obtained the rights to Elkins grant and created the Sawyer River Enterprise. 80,000 acres of land is an area about 10 miles long and 12 miles wide. I have found little documentation about exactly who Mr Norcross bought this acreage from, although Jasper Elkins acquired the land through an act of the N.H. Legislature in 1830, so presumably it would have been from Mr. Elkins or his estate. JULY 7,1874: Daniel Saunders at age 52, and his brother Charles, age 50 in 1874, Nathan Weeks, William Russell and Caleb Saunders Incorporated the Grafton County Lumber Company and work began on access roads along the Sawyer River. 1875: The Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad completed its route through Crawford Notch, thereby opening up the Sawyer River area for egress in and out. Entrepenorial minds immediately went to work and the Saunders Family saw an opportunity. JULY 2, 1875 the State Legislature approved an act to Incorporate the Sawyer River Railroad, 1876: The first mill was completed...and burned in the same year. Another mill was immediately constructed and it's cost was listed at $150,000. JULY 11, 1876: The Town of Livermore is Incorporated by the State of New Hampshire. The Town holds its first meeting with Benjamin Akers, John Tewksbury and Charles Saunders officiating. 1877: The Saunders' begin laying the rails for the Sawyer River Railroad. The CW Saunders Locomotive had been purchased new the previous year from the Portland Company, Eastern Railroad. Originally about one and a half miles of track was installed, up to the mill site, but as time went on the Rail Line had about 9 miles of track laid into its vast holdings. SEPTEMBER 1878: The first marriage was recorded in the Town of Livermore between Elden Boynton and Julia Lucy. 1878: Rapid Growth ; The N.H. Business Registry claims 48 residents in 1878 and 200 residents in the following year. An increase of 200% ! Four children were born in Livermore during this time period. 1880: The census for that year shows 103 people living in 18 separate buildings, consisting of men, women and children. The town was very family oriented with one third of the population being children. Occupations included millworkers, watchman, laborers, teamsters, blacksmiths, two coal dealers and three engineers. In this year the Livermore Mill operation reported a net income of $12,400 or 28% of gross receipts. 1880: This year also marked a smallpox epidemic that swept through the area resulting in the death of 6 townspeople. These 6 people were buried in the nearby woods and a stone monument records the spot. Another story tells of as many as 40 people being buried in this spot. Some were buried while still alive, although in a comatose state. 1881: The Village was granted a Post Office with William G. Hull appointed Postmaster. APRIL 1881: The land dispute between Saunders and Bartlett Land and Lumber Company is argued in the United States Supreme Court. Saunders and Abbott argue the case. Read the case. 1885: The town lists one school with 28 students attending. The school is valued at $151.00. The annual school budget was about $145.00. The school later (1924) went on to be "the best school in the State", thanks to Mr Saunders efforts. it had not only electricity and heat, but typewriters, movie projectors and the education many received there was the equivalent of college level courses. 1886: Saunders sells a portion of their holdings to The New Hampshire Land Company with George P. James as its President. This tract was located "on the other side of Mt. Carrigain" on the Pemigewassett River. 1890: The Saunders name disappears from the Town records that indicate ownership of the various enterprises and is replaced with George P. James, who had been previously listed along with the Saunders names. At this time the name Livermore Mills begins usage and we are to assume that ownership of the mill had changed to Mr James. MAY 22 1891: Charles Saunders dies in Lowell at the age of 67. Daniel and Daniel's son, Charles G. Saunders continue overseeing the Livermore operations. 1895: The Postmaster William Hull relocates to his home town of Plymouth and is replaced by G.S. Payne. Mr Payne was also a Selectman, Tax Collector and Town Clerk at various times. He was to die in 1911. 1895: George P. James sells his Livermore interests back to C.G. Saunders. 1898: Telephone service comes to livermore. George Staples is the Telephone agent in Livermore. 1900: The census for this year shows a population of 191, however the proportion of children was substantially reduced from the previous census. 1901: Through out the 1880's and 1890's there was constant legal action between the abutting property owners and in 1901 these disputes finally ended with more than half of Livermore being annexed to Lincoln by an act of the State Legislature. 1906: Ownership in Livermore was distributed among six primary owners, Publishers Paper Co, International Paper Co, The estate of George H. Morey and one Estella L. Lancaster. However, Livermore Mills remained the largest single owner. The Saunders heirs also owned property. 1910: Census showed 64 individuals in 11 separate households. The proportion of children had greatly increased since the 1900 census and it appeared there were fewer single individuals present. 1910: The fire tower atop Mt. Carrigain was constructed, although little more than an open platform. It had a cabin for the watchman and a telephone line down to Livermore. It was amongst the first fire towers in the State. It was listed as inactive in 1948. (Off-site link to Fire Tower Photos) 1911: The Weeks Act authorized the Federal Government to purchase private lands for the purpose of preservation. 1912: C.G. Saunders, Daniels Son, mortgages Livermore Mills to Gideon M. Sutherland. The three Saunders sisters re-purchased the mortgage and mill in 1919, the same year it was destroyed by fire. 1912: Daniel Saunders is 91 years old and still a presence at Livermore, 1914: The valuation of Livermore acreage and buildings is 470,000. ($1.00 in 1914 is the equivalent of $10.50 in 2009 dollars, so to put that number in perspective the 2009 equivalent would be nearly five million dollars.) APRIL 19, 1917: Daniel Saunders dies in Lowell at the age of 95 FEB 19, 1918: Daniels Son, C.G. Saunders dies at age 70 in Boston of a heart attack. Charles willed nearly his entire estate to his three sisters, Annie, Mary and Edith Saunders. The responsibility of running the mill and acreage passed to one Clinton I. Nash. Nash was an officer for the Saunders interests from 1902 to 1936. His name however does not appear on any town census until 1920, nor did he have any previous experience running a lumber mill. 1919: Livermore Mills is completely destroyed by fire. 1920: Census counted 98 people . 65 of these lived in 12 households in the Village and the rest lived out in the logging camps. Of the population of 98 only 8 of them had been at Livermore ten years prior. 1920: The C.W. Saunders Locomotive left the tracks and fell into the Sawyer River, thus ending it's usefullness. It was replaced with "Peggy", a Baldwin built Locomotive, and was purchased from the Henry Lumber Company which operated in the Zealand area. 1920-26: Management of the mills slowly deteriorates without the Saunders influence and economic hardships and unexpected disasters contribute to its six year decline. In addition to the costly replacement of the mill, the Locomotive also had to be replaced. It has been said that Clinton Nash was not a "Lumber kind of guy"; Some folks wondered why he had even been put in charge of an operation he seemed to know so little about. In some readings Nash is referred to as an "agent of the Saunders Sisters" who also knew very little of the lumber business. Nash however had been employed by Saunders since 1902 and was also a personal friend of the Saunders. Perhaps the Sisters chose him to represent their interests only because he was a trusted friend. 1922: The mill rebuilding which started in 1920 was completed. 1924: A new school was completed and furnished at a cost of $3323, which would be $350,000 in 2009 dollars. There were two teachers for the 20 or so students in attendance. This tends to support the claim that Livermore had one of the best schools in the State. NOVEMBER 1927: A massive flood causes serious damage to both the mill and a good portion of the railroad bed is completely destroyed. The mill is never reopened after the flood. The railway closes completely in 1928. JUNE 22, 1928: Big Jim Donahue dies in North Conway at age 60. He had been at Livermore since 1888 and served at one time or another Mill Manager, Postmaster, General Manager of the Town, Railroad Agent, Selectman and Town Clerk. MAY 1929: Clinton Nash, acting on behalf of the Saunders sisters, approached the Forest Service about the possibility of selling their holdings at Livermore. Low pulp prices and high operating costs made the mill operation impossible. The Town taxes were also becoming an onerous burden to the sisters. FEBRUARY 1930: Pauline Gardner was the last birth registered in the Town of Livermore. Although they were residents of Harts Location and the birth occured at Memorial Hospital in North Conway it is not clear why the birth was recorded in Livermore. 1930: Census counted 23 people living at Livermore. The mill is closed and deserted but the Town Store is still open. AUGUST 15, 1931: Livermore Post Office is closed. Clinton Nash was the Postmaster at this time. FEBRUARY 1934: John Monahan died at Livermore. He had been a resident of Livermore for 45 years. 1936: The last families remaining at Livermore were the Monohans, Codys, Donahues, and Platts. A few individuals also remained, Murray, MacDonald, Clinton Nash and Sidney White. According to a letter from Ellsworth Morton (right column, this page) Wayland Cook brought the last locomotive out of Livermore. Another source says the last locomotive was sold by the U.S. Forest Service and removed in 1947. APRIL 1936; A CCC camp was established near the Sawyer River Station. The camp ceased operation in October of 1937. OCTOBER 7, 1936: After a lengthy transaction with the US Forest Service, The Saunders sisters sold their 29,900 acres of land for $10 per acre. The sisters retained about 12 acres and the right to utilize their mansion until their deaths. JANUARY 31, 1937: The Town Report for that year contained no operating budget for the next year. The Selectmans Report (Platt, Donahue, MacDonald) simply stated that the majority of the town had been taken by the Federal Government and very little taxable property remained. The Town would be officially unorganized. 1940: The census this year shows 4 inhabitants, Clinton Nash, Joseph Platt, William MacDonald and a fouth unidentified person. 1941: The school house building is used as a storage shed for the Mt. Carrigain Fire look out tower. AUGUST 1942: Annie Saunders dies at age 84 of kidney dysfunction. SUMMER 1944; The Government auctions off the boarding house, equipment at the sawmill, and a two story dwelling. 1946: Joe Platt and Bill MacDonald are the final inhabitants of Livermore, acting as caretakers. Stories say they did not speak to one another. While one had a car, he would not take the other into town with him for groceries, made him walk. In this year Joe Platt burns down the old Blacksmith shop as it had become a public nuisance. 1947: The Forest Service sells the old Baldwin Locomotive. Some folks contend there are still remnants of an old locomotive "half-buried" way up in the woods. AUGUST 1949: Edith Saunders dies at age 84 of cancer. Bill MacDonald and Joe Platt leave Livermore. Bill MacDonald buys the house that is now "the main house" at the Villager Motel. (There was no motel there at that time). He lived there until his death in the mid 1950's. Platt may have returned to his home town at Twin Mountain. Another account says that Bill MacDonald had moved to Bartlett in 1943 and became a road worker for the Forest Service. AUGUST 31, 1951: The Town of Livermore was officially disenfranchised and ceased to exist as an incorporated town. 1951: The 12 acres of land that had been retained by the Saunders sisters was conveyed to Clinton Nash. 1952: According to Ellsworth Morton (letter right column, this page --->) he attended an auction at Livermore. At that time Jim Clemons of Bartlett Village purchased the contents of the post office, and perhaps the entire building. 1953: Clinton Nash returned to Livermore in the spring to find that the Forest Service had auctioned off all the furnishings in the mansion, despite the fact that they didn't own it yet. Another story says that Nash held the auction himself. 1953: The mill and equipment is dismantled and moved to Bartlett Village, up on the left side of Bear Notch Road, by another lumbering outfit that went bankrupt before they could operate it as a mill. I am told it is still there, although I don't recall ever seeing it. 1955: Homer Emery of Jericho purchases the School House for $79. Much of the School house is now part of his home in Jericho. Homer also purchased a large quantity of bricks, also used to build his home, from Clinton Nash for 3 cents each. Mr. Nash and Homer became friends since Homer had been one of the few people to ASK to take things from the property...most people just drove in and took what they wanted. There is some question as to whether Homer also bought the lot that the school house occupied. The matter has never been pursued. OCTOBER 1963: Clinton Nash sold his Livermore holdings to Robert and Bessie Shackford of Conway for $2800, which was substantially less than other offers he had received, but Nash wanted a "local" person to own it...not "someone from the outside". At that time the mansion was still standing along with a two car garage and a stable building. Mr Shackford built the little cabin that is there today from salvaging the other buildings. APRIL 1964: Clinton Nash dies of heart failure. 1965: The Shackfords experience continuing and horrific vandalism at the Saunders Mansion and most of what folks didn't steal were senselessly destroyed by "the hippies", After auctioning off what folks would buy he burned the building. AUGUST 1992: Robert Shackford died. Here is an interesting story we received sometime around 2014 by e-mail. It sounded like Mr. Morton would like us to share it with you: Hi to all in Bartlett, From Sanbornton. I attended the Bartlett village school from 1947 to 1952. Lucille Garland, rest her soul, would let me sleep everyday after lunch. This went on until the Christmas Vacation of first grade when my mother managed to adjust my sleeping habits. I imagine there was more than a little embarrassment on the part of my father Raymond who was the high school principal. A memory for Bert George: My father would give me 5cents each day at noon so I could go to your fathers store to buy The Boston Post. The paper cost 3 cents and each day I was allowed to keep the change. In later years my father called the two cents change transportation charges. But it didn't end there. After I had saved enough to do serious damage to the candy supply at the store it all came back to Franklin George. Oh what memories I have of Bartlett . I remember getting in trouble at Newton Howards store when I picked up an orange and put it in my pocket. No one saw it happen, but my mother found it in my coat and I was back to the store in a hurry with that orange. That was about the time of the big Brinks robbery in Boston and I was somehow headed for a big time career in crime in my mothers mind. A .few years later Newton died in the house that was behind the Bartlett Hotel. A Mr. Lane lived in the house and ran the hotel. His grandson is John Chandler, a cousin of Gene and nephew of Alice Davis. I was invited to spend the night there with John as he was up from Massachusetts to visit for a few days. When bedtime came I was shown to a room upstairs and was in bed when I made a remark about the huge four poster bed. It was then that I was told that I was in the bed used by Newton Howard. I only vaguely remember going down the stairs, but I was headed home in my night clothes.I could tell my memories for several pages, but I thought you might get a laugh about some contemporary Bartlett history. My main purpose in this Email is to correct some mis-information written by a Jeremy Saxe with regard to Livermore and the Sawyer River Railroad. According to the account in your website which is the same as the account on abandoned railroads.com, the village of Livermore was wiped off the face of the earth starting in 1935 and completed two years later. Now we know that is not true, because I remember going there as a kid with my Dad to fish in the river and looking into the house owned by the Saunders family. We went to an auction there I believe in 1952. Jimmie Clemons bought a lot of stuff including the interior of the Post Office .Maybe he bought the whole building. At the time of the auction there were two men who lived in Livermore . They did not speak to each other so the story went. The NH Legislature voted to allow the town to revert to a status whereby it no longer existed as a legal entity in 1952. I dont write to be a nit picker rather to set the record straight. Soon the people who remember Livermore will be gone and misinformation will become reality and history. Do you remember Fred Washburn? He lived up the road about halfway between Franklins store and the crossing. He worked for the railroad and was also a plumber around the village. I remember Wayland Cook , who was my neighbor, telling me when I was an adult that Fred brought the last locomotive out of Livermore . The year was about 1936 which fits the timeline of the Federal takeover Thanks for taking the time to hear me out. Time to get ready for that storm coming tonight. Ellsworth Morton PS: I inadvertently used the name of Newton Howard when I should have used G.K Howard as the man who owned the store and the Bartlett Hotel. It did not seem right to me at the time but overnight I figured out my mistake. I believe Newton was a son or nephew of G.K.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 The Bellevue 1872 to 1936 The Bellevue was located directly opposite from today's south end of the Rte 16A Junction near the Scenic Vista. SOURCE MATERIAL: The Intervale, New Hampshire By Winfield S. Nevins 1887 The Bellevue, John Albert Barnesproprietor, stands on the knoll just beyond the Intervale. It is a sightly location and one excellently adapted for perfect drainage and to insure health and comfort. Mr. Barnes built this house himself in 1872, and for fifteen years has been its popular landlord and proprietor. Hundreds of New England people have found here a pleasant summer home. In the fall of 1886, the house was very materially enlarged by the addition of an L to the rear which nearly doubles its capacity. The house now accommodates about seventy guests, all in good rooms. It is kept open from the first of June until the last of October. The nearby Clarendon was annexed as part of the Bellevue complex and by 1901 The Bellevue was open during the winter specializing in sleighing, snowshoeing, coasting, camping and tobogganing . Skiing had not yet arrived in the White Mountains. The Bellevue was destroyed by fire in 1938.

There were several logging railroads in our mountains, each servicing a mill or logging interest. These included railroads in Bartlett, Hart’s Location, and Livermore. Dave’s talk will tell us the history of these railroads. A brief BHS Annual Meeting will precede Dave’s talk. Bartlett Historical Society & Museum, 13 School Street, Bartlett, Time: 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, 2026: “Wit and Wisdom: The Forgotten Literary Life of New England Villages” with Jo Radner, Freelance Storyteller and Oral Historian Before and after the Civil War, our rural ancestors created neighborhood events to improve their minds. Community members composed and read aloud homegrown, handwritten literary "newspapers" full of keen verbal wit. Sometimes serious, sometimes sentimental but mostly very funny, these "newspapers" were common in villages across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont and revealed the hopes, fears, humor and surprisingly daring behavior of our forebearers. Jo Radner shares excerpts from her book about hundreds of these "newspapers" and provides examples from villages in our region.

Dan Saunders Bio Livermore Menu Introduction Timeline 1865-1965 Forever Livermore Article Sawyer River Railroad Saunders Family Nicholas Norcross Shackfords Owners Howarth Card Collection Lumbering Practices Legal Problems Peter Crane Thesis Bits and Pieces BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 HON. DANIEL SAUNDERS Quick Summary of Saunders Family: The Saunders Family came from England in 1637 and went on to be the major players in the establishment of the mills in Lawrence and Lowell Massachusetts by recognizing the water power available on the Merrimack River. Their original company was The Merrimack River Water Power Association , which included Caleb Abbott, Arthur Livermore and John Nesmith. Daniel and Charles Saunders, the names associated with Livermore NH, were both prominent Harvard educated Boston Lawyers and were involved with The Essex Corporation and Shawmut Mills, still in existance today. Daniel was born in 1822 and Charles in 1824. Charles married into the prominent Norcross family of Lowell and Daniel married Mary Jane Livermore, also of Lowell. The Town of Livermore was probably named in her honor. Since both brothers were actively engaged in their legal professions it is questionable how much time they actually spent at Livermore. There is reference in Peter Crane's book that Daniel was often at Livermore in his later years and his family spent summers there. Daniel was also the Mayor of Lawrence, Ma in 1860. Daniel had five children, three of which were daughters, who remained unmarried. They are sometimes referred to as "the spinster sisters" who occupied the Saunders Mansion at Livermore. Read the whole story below, OR, view it at the original source, HERE . (Starts on page 858) Daniel Saunders Biographical Sketch Source Material Boston Biographical Review HON. DANIEL SAUNDERS, senior member of the law firm of Daniel, Caleb & Charles G. Saunders, of Lawrence, Mass., was born in Andover, Essex County, October 6, 1822, the eldest son of the late Hon. Daniel Saunders, founder of the city of Lawrence. He is of early New Eng- land Colonial stock, being a lineal descendant of William Saunders, who, we are told, came from England in 1636, and in 1645 took up land at Mitchell's Eddy, on the Haverhill side, in the town of Newbury, Mass., where he was a permanent settler. James Saunders, the grandfather of Daniel, the special subject of this sketch, was born in Salem, N.H., July 12, 1751, and died in Stanstead, P.O., December 14, 1830. On November 15, 1774, he married Elizabeth Little, who was born March i, 1755, in Newbury, Mass., a daughter of Henry Little, and died in Salem, N.H., April 13, 1838. Henry Little also was of English extraction, and the representative of one of the old and prominent families of Essex County, an ancestor, several generations removed, having been the original owner of a Newbury farm that is still in the possession of his Little descendants. James Saunders and his wife had a family of twelve sons and one daughter. One son died in infancy, and one at the age of sixteen years. The ten sons remaining and the one daughter all married and reared children. One son, Caleb Saunders, became an early settler of Illinois, while three of his brothers located in Eastern New York. One of them, Henry Saunders, M.D., was for many years a prominent physician of Saratoga; another. Major William Saunders, a resident of Ballston Spa, was an officer in the War of 1812; another son, Samuel, was a carpenter on board the famous old ship "Constitution" in the same war. The Hon. Daniel Saunders was born in Salem, N.H., June 20, 1796, and when a young lad began working in a woolen-mill as an employee in the lowest department. He gradually became familiar with all branches of the industry; and, when ready to establish himself in business, he purchased a mill in North Andover, on the Cochicewick Brook, and later bought another in Concord, N.H. Becoming convinced in his mind that some time in the near future the falls in the Merrimac River between the present cities of Lawrence and Lowell would be utilized by manufacturers, he began in 1832 to verify by a personal inspection surveys which had previously been made for another purpose, that of estimating the expense of building locks and canals so that the river would be navigable for large boats of merchandise. His examinations still further convincing him of the possibility of the development of a large manufacturing district in this section, he sold his large mills in Concord and North Andover, and invested every penny he could lay his hands on in lands bordering on the Merrimac, in order that he might control the water power. Consulting then with his son Daniel, the subject of this sketch, as to the best means of calling the attention of the public to this most desirable location for mills, they decided to build a manufacturing plant themselves. In 1837, therefore, his legal adviser, the Hon. Josiah G. Abbott, then' a member of the General Court, secured for him an act incorporating the "Shawmut Mills" to be erected in Andover, not saying in what part. In the charter granted, the name of Saunders was not used, those of Caleb Abbott, Arthur Livermore, and John Nesmith only being apparent. Prominent manufacturers near by were then told of the grand water power. Samuel Lawrence and others of Lowell investigated the matter, and found two good places for damming the river, one at Peters Falls, the other at Bodwell's, the location of the present dam. The Merrimack River Water Power Association was soon after formed, with Daniel Saunders as president and manager of the company, which consisted of Mr. (afterward Judge) Hopkinson, Samuel Lawrence, John Nesmith, Daniel Saunders, Jr., Nathaniel Stevens, and Jonathan Tyler. The president of the company originated a plan for bonding the lands in the vicinity of both falls; and, when the present site was selected as the most favorable point for operations, the neighboring farms were purchased at a reasonable price. His own real estate, which he had previously bought, he sold at the original price plus simple interest on his investments, although, had not his high sense of honor forbidden him, he might have asked and received almost any sum. A large portrait of the Hon. Daniel Saunders, upon which is a tablet stating that he was the founder of the city of Lawrence, was presented to the city by his sons in April, 1888, and now graces the Akiermanic Chamber of the City Hall. On June, 1821, he married Phebe Foxcroft Abbott, who was born February 8, 1797, in Andover, Mass., and died March, 1890, in Lawrence. Her father, Caleb Abbott, was three times married ; and of his three unions there .were fifteen children. The maiden name of her mother was Lucy Lovejoy. Daniel and Phebe Foxcroft Saunders had five children, namely: Daniel, born October 6, 1822; Charles, who was born in June, 1824, and was extensively engaged in the manufacture of lumber in Lowell until his death in May, 1891; Martha, who died in childhood; Martha, the second, who also died at an early age; and Caleb, born September 4, 183S. On May 3, 1845, the parents removed from Andover to Lawrence, and, having settled on the farm previously purchased, there spent their remaining days, the father's death occurring October 8, 1872. Daniel Saunders, the younger, studied law with the Hon. Josiah G. Abbott, and was for some years closely associated with his late father in his various enterprises. He continued his law practice all the time, however, and is now at the head of one of the best known legal firms, of this section of Essex County. He was Mayor of Lawrence in i860, at the time of the fall of the Pemberton Mills. In commemoration of his distinguished services, in the care of those wounded at that time and the relief of the families of those killed, he was presented by the citizens of Lawrence, irrespective of parties, with a magnificent silver service, which he prizes as one of his most valuable treasures. He served a year as Senator, and also he has represented the city in the lower branch of the State legislature. saunders sisters The Saunders Sisters Were Mary, Annie and Edith. They spent much of their time at Livermore during the warmer months. Their home base was at 116 Stackpole Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. That street number is now part of the Lowell General Hospital parking lot.

Railroad wreck in Crawford Notch NH as told by historian Scotty Mallett BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 More Railroad Pages - Menu Top Right... Wreck of the 505 Scotty Mallett is responsible for writing and researching both versions of this story. AN EXPLOSION IN CRAWFORD NOTCH # 505 July 3, 1927 Sunday July 3 dawned hot and muggy, a change from the night before when a terrific thunderstorm had past over Bartlett. It was about 7:00 a.m. when MEC Bartlett men Robert "Bob" Morse and Oscar Clemons got a call from Mr. Glendenon at the Roundhouse in Bartlett asking them to report to work, they would take a long extra freight to St. Johnsbury and return with the locomotive. Earle Whitcher and Fireman Meserve would be on the helper and return to Bartlett after the train reached Crawford’s Station. Oscar and Bob were friends and had worked together before. Oscar was having a hard time because he had lost his wife Delia a month before, leaving him the sole support of 7 children. Bob and Oscar arrived at the Roundhouse at about the same time, to find Engineer Whitcher and his fireman working on the main engine, the one that would be on the head end to St.J. After talking it was decided that they would swap assignments, so Bob, the engineer and Oscar, the fireman, would be on the helper and return to Bartlett after they reached Crawford’s, so they made plans to go fishing together that day. There was only one locomotive available as a helper, a small, class W Mikado, built by Alco in Schenectady, NY in 1910, her number #505. The 505 had come in on the local Rigby to Bartlett job the day before, she was taken to the Roundhouse and serviced. The 505 was not a favorite, it would be called today, a lemon. Out of all the steam locomotives the MEC ever owned, the 505 was one of the very, very few, that never measured up. Bob and Oscar boarded the 505 and began their work, helping to sort cars and make up the train. A short time later Bob reported a problem to the mechanics at the roundhouse: when he pulled the throttle out, it felt "Spongy" and not right. The mechanics examined the locomotive and found nothing. Bob and Oscar continued their work, but the problem persisted. The mechanics brought it into the roundhouse and did everything but strip the boiler jacket off, which they were not equipped to do anyway, they could find nothing. Finally, the time came where it was time to go, the 505 and her crew were put in the freight as a helper, almost midtrain, and they departed Bartlett at about 10:00 A.M. A common thing that was done with a lot of engineers in that era was they ran the water in the boiler of the locomotive low, this allowed the maximum performance to be obtained from the locomotive, but you had to have a fireman that could handle it. Oscar Clemons, having worked with Bob before, knew how to do this perfectly, by the timing of the water injections into the boiler and by a constant eye on the sight glass which showed the amount of water in the boiler. The 505 was a small class locomotive, which were very rarely used as helpers, due to their small size. The Class W's were almost exclusively used east of Bartlett. This trip for the 505 was a very rare run. An hour had passed, the 505 was now under maximum pressure, Oscar Clemons shoveling coal and watching the sight glass. They were approaching the Willey House Section Dwelling, the section crew, having the day off, waved as they went by. Doris Monahan, home for a break, was watching the train pass by with a friend on an outcropping where they were going up the Appalachian trail for a hike. The Train now rounded a curve and reached a relatively level piece of track, about 1/2 mile above the Willey Station, Oscar reached up and opened the petcock to put some water in the boiler, a few seconds later, the locomotive exploded. The force was so great it lifted the locomotive clean out of the train, not even derailing the car behind it, it spun end over end and dropped and landed 20 feet over the bank. Bob Morse was blown 500 ft, the crew from the Willey House found him crawling towards a brook. One of them said "Can I or Let me Help you Bob" Bob replied never mind about me, I know I'm done for, go check on Oscar. They found Oscar, trapped in the wreckage of the cab. Both men were rushed to memorial hospital, they both passed away at about the same time, near 6:00 P.M. from scalding. Oscar Left 7 children*, most were adopted by other family members, his youngest son George, an infant at the time, and I met him on the Conway Scenic’s Ride through Crawford Notch. He commissioned a memorial to Oscar and Bob, placed at the site of the explosion. Bob left 8 children behind, Mrs. Morse would go on to remarry. Monte Hurd, A MEC Veteran Conductor. The investigation into the 505 accident showed that the sight glass Oscar needed to use to tell the level of water in the boiler was defective, also, the Spongy" feel Bob felt was a weakness in the boiler. When the water was put into the low boiler, the metal failed, just under one of the axles, hurling the locomotive 80 feet in the air, and sending a metal pail; used for drinking water, over a mile away in the woods. Further investigation would show that the 505 was reported 5 times that previous month as having a leaky boiler, and several years before while in service it burst a boiler tube. The entire town turned out for the funerals of Bob Morse and Oscar Clemons, held on Wednesday. It is easy to forget these men were the test pilots of their age. The were respected and loved for their profession, and as people themselves. They rest today not far from each other in the Bartlett Cemetery, the new memorial on the site, will remind folks of a different time, and of two men, husbands, fathers, workers and Bartlett townsfolk who passed into history, but now will not be forgotten. This version was printed in our publication, The Historical Herald, March 2008 *Sept 2009: Web site Editors Note: I received an e-mail from Brian Clemons in Lyman Maine. Brian is Oscar's Grandson. He reported that Oscar had 8 Children, Not 7. Jan 2008, From the Railroad Club: The remains of what was Maine Central Steam Locomotive #505 are located in the general area of MILEPOST 80 which is " WEST " of the Frankenstein Trestle. The marker is located at or very near the exact location where the boiler let go as best be determined by a dedicated bunch of people that enabled some sort of closure take place as to what occurred back on that fateful day during the month of July 1927. The marker was created by the efforts of the North Conway Model Railroad Club who are located on the grounds of CSRR. The Club members designed/created and erected a large marker and placed it track -side where the wreck occurred. Please respect the area as sacred ground in memory of good railroad men who lost their lives performing their duties and that will be a very good display of respect for their relatives who live on with those memories for all time to come. July 3, 1927: Maine Central #505 was in Bartlett having come in on the "Local" Portland, Me to Bartlett, NH job the night before. The Roundhouse was short on power so the 505 was to be a "helper" locomotive. It was rare for her to be used as a helper as this was the case for all the Class W's. These were used almost exclusively east of Bartlett, where they really shine. 505 was due to go back to Portland on the afternoon local later that day. She was pressed into service to help with a very "heavy" extra. She would be put in Mid train, and cut off at Crawfords. Bob Morse and Oscar Clemons, planned an afternoon fishing trip for when they returned. There would be 2 locomotives on the head pin. As the Engineer, Bob Morse worked the engine, to help make up the train, the throttle felt "Soggy". He reported it to the mechanics at the Bartlett Roundhouse, they checked the loco over, but could not find the problem. Bob and his fireman, Oscar Clemons, went back to work. Again, Bob reported the sluggish response of the 505, the shop crews brought her in to the Roundhouse and did everything but dump the fire and pull the boiler jacket off, which Bartlett was not equipped for anyway. So at about 8:00 the 505, took her place, on a WESTBOUND extra freight, about mid train. The train departed at about 8:30 a.m. Bob Morse was a popular man, but pushed his loco's to their operational limits, he got every bit of operational power out of the engine he was running, he was very good. One trick almost all engineers had in those days was to run the loco water low. This gave you the maximum amount of steam pressure and the maximum performance from the loco, but the engineer had to have a fireman that could handle the task, it was a dangerous dance, but Oscar Clemons had worked with Bob Morse for years and knew exactly what he was doing. At about 10:00 the train passed Willey House Station, Mile post 81 about 1/4 mile up the track it becomes straight and levels off. The 505 was traveling at 40 MPH under past maximum pressure, when the loco reached this point Oscar opened the petcock for water and the engine exploded. The boiler failed just in front of the drive wheel 2nd from the firebox (3rd driver from the front). The explosion blew Engineer Morse out of the cab and 500 feet back. The Locomotive lifted clean out of the train, fracturing the connecting bar between the engine and tender, flew up in the air 60 feet, turned end for end and dropped upside down and over the bank, crushing the cab with Oscar Clemons still inside, before rolling back on her side and coming to rest. Investigators found that the sight glass used to measure the water in the boiler was faulty, the boiler plates failed due to metal fatigue and the soggy feeling Mr. Morse was feeling while working in the yard, were the plates flexing. It blew the face plate of the locomotive off and split the boiler from Stack to bell. The explosion was so loud that it created an " Acoustic echo". The explosion was not heard at the Willey Station, but at the Mount Willard Dwelling it was like a clap of thunder. The trees in the area were all blistered, Mr. Morses watch was found in a tree, 20 feet off the ground. the water can that held water and a drinking cup was blown over a mile away. However, Mr. Morses wooden lunch pail was found beside the engine, on a rock. This was a round pail with plates in it, not ONE plate was broken. Mr. Morse survived the explosion and being thrown 500 feet, he was found crawling towards a brook, all he said was, I know I'm done for, go check on Oscar. Oscar Clemons was trapped in the wreck, still alive. Both men made it to the hospital, both died at about the same time, 6:oo that evening. Maine Central, not in it's finest hour tried to sue Mrs. Morse for the loss of the equipment and damage. However in the court search it was found that 505 had received damage to it's boiler, while in service in Baldwin Maine. Although not catastrophic , it did do some damage. It was also found that the 505 had been reported at least 5 times the previous month as having a leaky boiler, nothing was done. MeCRR dropped the suit, Mrs. Morse counter sued and won. The youngest surviving son of Oscar Clemons, now in his 80's commissioned a granite memorial to be placed near the site. It was put there several years ago. From a story penned by Bartlett, NH native Scotty Mallett based on first hand accounts from families of those involved. This version was taken from: _http://www3.gendisasters.com/9768/crawford-notch-nh-mec-steam-locomotive-505-explosion-july-3-1927 The youngest surviving son of Oscar Clemons, George Croston, had a brass plaque made with which he cut and fabricated a memorial from granite that came from his property in Brunswick, ME. He placed the memorial near the explosion site some years ago. This page was researched and written by Scotty Mallett. Photos courtesy of Robert Girouard. More Railroad Pages - Menu Top Right...

It is a parcel of land 3.8 acres (1.5 ha) in size, most of which is forested in mixed hardwoods. At the southern end is a single-story wood-frame building with a gabled roof, and a descriptive plaque set in a stone. A short way north of this are a grouping of small shingled gable-roofed cabins, set around a small clearing in the woods. Chief Joseph Laurent , an Abenaki leader from Odanak (St. Francis, Quebec ), came to the area in 1884, and established a seasonal camp on the site, which was then owned by a local hotel. Laurent and other Abenaki produced baskets and other handicrafts as a tourist attraction for the hotel guests, and sold them the wares they produced. The Abenaki were descended from the area's original Native American population, who were driven from the area during the colonial period. The shop was originally a service shed built by the Maine Central Railroad ; it was purchased by Laurent around 1900. Laurent is also credited with construction of the cottages in which the Abenaki lived. The business was continued by Laurent's son Stephen into the late 20th century.[3] Since 1985, the property has been owned by the town, which now operates it as a small park with interpretive signage describing its history. Laurent "PUMPKIN HOLLOW" No idea why it's called that but the road, while paved, and the house, are still the same (2018) .

It was a popular stop for the hotels in this area such as The Intervale House, Pendexter Mansion and The Intervale Inn, to name just a few. STATION Limmer's has been located in Intervale since the early 1950s. At the request of the Bartlett Historical Society, the Limmer family graciously agreed to open their historic property on Route 16A, Intervale for a tour on Saturday, July 7, 2007. "Limmer's" are known world-wide as master boot makers. Their manufacturing business, now being operated by the third generation. The building which houses their business was at one time the stables for the Fairview. LIMMER In the 1930s the barn that was previously part of the Fairview Inn and Farm was converted to a dance hall, known as Intervale Playgrounds and later as Harmony Acres. The dance hall floor and stage still exist. Many in Bartlett still recall those Saturday night dances. Marianne Limmer, who moved first to Massachusetts as a young bride from Germany, as had the Limmer family. She told of the dance hall's dilapidated condition when they moved to Intervale, which was transformed into the thriving boot company . PLAYGROUNDS Cyrus Tasker built the original Fairview Cottage in 1854 to accommodate travelers, but it was destroyed by fire. Another version was built and it was also destroyed by fire. The Tasker family moved into a cottage on their property. They later enlarged that building and it was known as Mountain Vale Inn. The land has accommodated several buildings throughout the years; the property has been home to a country store, a gift shop, a gas station and a cabin court. throughout its history the carriage house, grain room, stable and cattle barn survived. A portion of this property is the converted tabernacle which was rescued by Tasker from Intervale Park, a religious community established at the base of Bartlett Mountain, across the street from his establishment. See more about Intervale Park below. WIZARD The Wizard Tree in Intervale. The Wizard Birch Tree has not been standing since around 1948. If you go onto Intervale Crossroads & over the Railroad tracks & go straight ahead into the developement that is there today about a 100 yards in was the Wizard Birch Tree. The people that were transfering to the Boston & Maine Railroad to the Maine Central & had a hold over went to the Wizard Birch Tree to wait for the train. There were also benches there for people to sit & wait. (This information provided by Howard Hatch, a life-long Intervale resident.)

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

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

Maggie grew up in Glen, N.H., and she graduated from Bartlett High School. She was the co-captain of the basketball team. Graduated from Barrington College in Rhode Island with a teaching degree. Margaret taught first grade for 34 years in Rochester, N.H. She and her husband Richard raised three boys. Predeceased by her husband,parents, Ivan and Myrtle Taylor, sister Carolyn and her brother Fred. Survived by her three sons, Damon and wife, Staci; Daniel and wife, Naoko; David and wife, Maegan; foster brother Carroll Young and brother Paul Taylor. Also survived by her nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. A small shout out to her pet pig Mustard Eddie Freddie Cleopatra as she loved to bring him up. No one is sure if it was a boy or girl pig. Maggie was always a devote Christian and often went to different services around the area just to mix it up over the years. The Nute Ridge Bible Chapel was her last favorite. Maggie loved to travel and she traveled to different countries.We lost count of the countries she has visited and hopefully Interpol has as well. Maggie volunteered on archaeological digs in Switzerland for a Viking boat, Tonga to study giant clams and I think she dug something up in Egypt. She loved connecting to the local people and they seemed to love her back judging by all the gifts she had accumulated. In her retirement years she would love to go antiquing and yard sale’ing to decorate her barn house. She daily went out to eat with friends. One of her favorite sayings was that she “Only had a kitchen because it came with the house”. Maggie loved to drive her golf cart around the property with the grandkids in tow. She only lost one occasionally. She liked to mow the fields on her beloved tractor. She was still driving the tractor into her 80’s until one of the mean sons took the keys away after she drove it into the garage on fire. She said she didn’t want me to have to work on it out in the field, so she raced it into the garage at top speed. That’s kind of the same way she drove her car also. Never knew anybody who got more warnings and never a ticket than her. Mom loved flowers and would pick wild ones for the barn house. Particularly purple ones as that is her favorite color. But she hated dandelions. I’m not sure if she hated yellow? She would hand pluck a thousand of them in 90 degree heat in her 70’s and put anybody to shame that tried to keep up and passed out face down in the dandelions like a wimp. We could continue on with this trend for some time. But we would ask that folks coming to the Celebration of Life take a moment to write down on a card an event or memory of Maggie that makes them smile. Names can be omitted if there are any active investigations you would rather avoid answering embarrassing questions about. We will have a board to post them all on at the reception for friends to share and reminisce. In honor of her favorite color, please consider accessorizing your attire with something purple. In her remembrance, if you would like to make a donation - please consider bringing a box of school supplies to your local first grade teacher this fall. Tell them Maggie sent you. The funeral will be held on Saturday, July 29, at 10 a.m. at the Edgerly Funeral Home in Rochester. There will be a private graveside service burial at the Glen Cemetery at the convenience of the family. == Carolyn S.

In Virginia Beach, Va., Bill served in the Navy and Carolyn was a devoted military spouse and mother. They lived in New York, Virginia and West Germany. _________________________ Joe Kerins, 91, passed peacefully at his home in Center Conway, N.H., on Nov. 24, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Patty, four children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Born Oct. 20, 1932, in Philadelphia, Joe was the eldest and last survivor of five brothers who remained close throughout their lives. He was devoted to his parents, Ethel (née Connolly) and James Kerins. He served in the Navy during the Korean war and played semi-professional baseball before becoming a police officer for 25 years in Haddon Township, N.J. He was the local sergeant everyone knew and was responsible for training many who came after him. He was known for his patience, hard work and quick wit. Summer vacations were spent camping in National Parks all over the United State with Peg, his wife of 41 years, and their four children, Joseph (Elaine), Michael (Tammy), Jeanne (Evan) and Patrick (René). Joe and Peg fell in love with the Mount Washington Valley when they first visited in 1960 and each summer adventure included time in New Hampshire. In the 1970s, Joe coached baseball for his kids and others while Peg kept score. They bought a family vehicle that could fit almost an entire PopWarner football team or full (loud) cheerleading squad, somehow doing all of this while working shift work as a police officer. He spent many hot days on a baseball diamond, still in his black uniform, helping his kids do what they loved. One of his Babe Ruth players became a police officer, crediting his experience with Joe as the reason. Joe would often begin a story and start to laugh before he could finish. It was so infectious; we’d find ourselves laughing along before he’d even gotten to the funny part of the story. He loved providing a solid foundation and adventurous life for his family, joyful Christmases, and watching Notre Dame football, the Eagles and Phillies as well as later adding the Patriots and Red Sox. He would wake the family early on St. Patrick’s Day playing the family’s favorite Irish songs at full volume. Upon Joe’s retirement in 1980,Joe and Peg were thrilled to move to their chalet in Glen, N.H.They spent many evenings watching sunsets over the mountains from their beloved deck. Joe worked part-time as a bail commissioner as well as a bailiff in the Conway District Court. He joined the Eagle Mountain Golf Club where he enjoyed golfing with many wonderful friends. He was a member of the Mountain Washington Valley Old Car Club, having always been a lover of cars and all the folks who like to talk about them. You would have seen Joe many years in his ‘72 powder blue Cougar convertible in the Bartlett Fourth of July parade. “Uncle Joe and Aunt Peg” were loved by their many nieces and nephews. They began to gain grandchildren (and became known as Mom Mom and Pop Pop) starting in the late 1990s, in order of appearance, Julia, Elizabeth, Molly, Amanda, Garrett and Allie; and later great-grandchild, Cole. All loved him dearly and will miss everything about him, but especially his wry sense of humor. Peg passed in 2002, which Joe described as akin to losing his right arm. Some years later, Joe met Patty, who brought laughter back into his life — they married in 2010.Joe sold his chalet in Glen in favor of a home more suited to their needs. He and Patty chose the design of their beautiful home, where they lived together for almost a decade. They enjoyed various retirement activities including waving at the neighbors as they shared coffee on the front porch and visits with both his and Patty’s families. Joe loved Patty’s cooking and was very fond of Patty’s children and grandchildren. Weekly lunches with his ROMEO group were a highlight. He was an altar boy as a child and a devout Catholic his entire life. Joe was a member of: St. Monica’s in Philadelphia; Holy Saviour in Westmont, N.J.; St. Joseph in Bartlett, N.H.; and finally, Our Lady of the Mountains Parish in North Conway, N.H. We’d like to share special thanks for the exceptional help from Ray Rabideau, the folks at VNS and the VA as well as Joe’s wonderful neighbors (especially Chris and Michelle Mattei and Gene Brown) who are always willing to lend a hand. Patty lovingly cared for Joe until the end to fulfill his wish to be at home. Viewing will be Friday, Dec 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Furber & White Funeral Home at 2925 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. The funeral will be on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church at 2905 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Veteran’s Affairs or Visiting Nurse Services in honor of Joe._____________ Johnson CJ Robert Jones RichardJones LorraineJones Jefferson Kondrup-TAYLOR King Kerins cARROLLkELLEY Anchor 3 BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE just testing video...here's one - 1966 FloraJones Flora Leona Giles Jones of Boothbay, Maine, died Tuesday, April 18, 2006, with her son and daughter at her side .Flora was born at home in Boothbay during a snowstorm on May 11, 1925, to Samuel Fremont and Esther (Gray) Giles.

In 1952 it was Grants General Store. woodshed The Woodshed is located about a half mile west of the junction of West Side Road and Rte 302. Originally owned by Pop Fosey, beginning about 1920, he had six tourist rooms in the main house and eleven separate cabins. In the era of Prohibition it was a well known Roadhouse serving illegal alcoholic beverages. In 1953 the property was purchased by Bill and Evalyn Gimber and they operated it as an Inn and Restaurant until 1959. A prominent feature in those days were two wooden horses that stood guard out front. The Woodshed is now the private residence of Norman and Kathleen Head, the Gimber's son. Norman is a local Realtor and the President of the Bartlett Historical Society. Source Material The Latchstring Was Always Out Aileen Carroll, 1994. Post card photos courtesy of Michael Bannon and Dave Eliason. July 1, 1943 Frank Foisey, a resident of Glen for the past ten years, died Friday at Memorial Hospital after a prolonged illness. Mr Foisey was born in Putnam, Conn 75 years ago. He came to New Hampshire in the early 1930’s for his health and for the past ten years had been the proprietor of a camp and restaurant known as the Woodshed Cafe. Services were held Monday at Putnam, after which burial was effected there in the family lot. Mr Foisey is survived by a brother, Joseph, of Los Angeles, California, by one daughter, Mrs Joseph Norbury, formerly of the Canal Zone, now residing in Glen, by a son, Fr Foisey, a missionary in Haiti, and by four grandchildren. For Victory Buy Bonds foiseyObit The Meadowbrook is just east of the Rte 302/West Side Road Junction in Glen. It was a standard 1950's style motel with a couple of cabins. It was built by a man named Schoner about 1945. During the 1970's and 80's it was owned by Dorothy "Dot" & Charlie Loeschorn. Dot was also a registered nurse at Memorial Hospital in North Conway. When they sold the property in the mid 1980's they built and operated "Whippy-Dippy", an ice cream and mini golf operation, on Rte 302 near Sky Valley Motel. (Dot died in May 2013 in Lakeland Florida). By 1990 the property was in a poor state of repair and was purchased by Bill Duggan who renamed it Will's Inn (after his son). Bill did major repairs and now Will's Inn is back on track with 23 units and a new addition directly across the street. meadowrook The Kennison's operated Saco River Cabins in Glen from about 1945 until 1969. From 1969 until 1992 Clara and Al Forbes operated the cabins. Al also operated the Sunoco Station in North Conway. These cabins were just across the street from the covered bridge. kennison pleasant valley Pleasant Valley Hall, became Pleasant Valley Farm and then The Glenwood by the Saco. Today it is known as The Bernerhoff. This Glen area Inn originally opened as Pleasant Valley Hall in 1 893. The "Hall" part of the name came about because the proprietor's last name was Hall; probably a relative of Obed Hall who operated an Inn in Bartlett Village beginning in 1790. It was operated primarily as a boarding house for teamsters and loggers. David and Marion Irving assumed ownership in 1928 and renamed the establishment to Pleasant Valley Farm. In 1937 T.H. Brooks took over and he renamed it to Glenwood by the Saco, reportedly because he so adored the big Glenwood Stove in the kitchen. Claire and Charlie Zumstein purchased the property in 1955 and renamed it to Bernerhoff, The House of Berne, which had been their hometown in Switzerland. In 1971 Claire's nephew, Herman Pfeuti, took ownership of the Inn and continued the Swiss tradition. During the 1980's Ted and Sharon Wrobleski operated the Inn using the same name. They sold it sometime in the late 1990's and the subsequent owners became over-extended and the property was sold by foreclosure auction to the Realtor, Dick Badger. His managers continue to operate the property as of this writing (Jan 2013). pine cottage The 1910 Postcard below is signed by one member of the Hall family (the original owner) to a lady in Portland Maine. tea room HallPostcard Pine Cottage was the home of Minnie Cannell who operated Cannell's Camps and Minnie Cannell's Tea Room. This group of buildings is located between Jericho Road and what is now the Massa-Schussers Ski Club. The cabins were a new idea for the travelling public and these were the second such group of cabins to be constructed in New Hampshire. (The first were in Franconia Notch near the Old Man of the Mountains.) In 1937 the Cannell's moved to their present location in Intervale across from the Scenic Vista. Read more from the Source Material "The Latch String Was Always Out by Aileen Carroll 1994 cannell camps Storybook Inn Stilphens farm The Glen Inn. This was originally Stilphen's Farm ; currently it is the Storybook Inn. The original Stilphen's Farm consisted of about 150 acres and the original structure was built in the mid 1820's. A guide-book from the 1880's lists Cornelius Stilphen's boardinghouse with 20 rooms with rates from six to nine dollars a week. Probably over the years the Stilphens had regularly taken in summer boarders as did many other farm families in that period. Stilphen's Farm was sold in 1903 to the Libbys of Gorham whose timberland abutted the Conway Lumber Company's Rocky Branch Holdings. The Libbys' logs were brought out of the woods by Conway Lumber Teams and loaded at the Maine Central Siding in Glen. The former Stilphen farmstead served as a boardinghouse for the teamsters. Fires occurring in 1912-1914 brought a halt to lumbering and the old Stilphen house was deserted until 1947 except for a caretaker, Percy Wells who did a little farming and attempted to keep the old house in a decent state of repair. In 1947 the property was purchased by Raymond and Stella Clark. They did extensive renovations and re opened it as the Storybook Inn. In 1956 they added two additional wings and shortly after that added motel type units for a total of 78 rooms. The Clark's daughter Charless and her Husband Jan Filip now manage the place. Filip update January 2020: Jan Filip sent us this up-date: Thank you for posting the article, it's quite interesting. You would think I should know these things but when we are young we don't always appreciate history like we should. My father still resides at the property. The property is open from roughly June to October and my eldest sister returns to help for the summer. At 93 my father refuses to retire so we let him run things his way. Yes the property is not in the shape it once was and the future is uncertain. The Storybook Inn was the founding business that led to the Glen Dairy Queen, the North Conway Dairy Queen, handled by my sister and her husband, Lucy and Brian Eling. The Storybook also led to the Golden Gables Inn and the Golden Apple Inn handled by me. When you walk through the basement of the Storybook Inn you can see all the rough sawn timber some of which still has bark, used for framing as well as huge slabs of granite used to make the foundation. The first expansion of rooms started in the mid 60's with 20 units being added around the outdoor pool that you see from the road. This is the building that lost 4 rooms last winter due to snow load so rebuilding the section might not be prudent. Starting in 1978 two new sections for a total of 20 rooms were added to the back of the property. Further expansion continued in 1981 when the original barn which had been connected to the back of the boarding house was removed to make room for a new kitchen and additional dinning room seats. As a 5 year old I remember being scared to walk in the back corner of the barn as it had the remnants of the outhouse. Two toilet seats leading to a black hole, always afraid you would get sucked in... The last two expansions happened in 1986 with 24 rooms being constructed in back on "Hillside" and in 1990 the indoor pool was added. The old pictures are great for a walk down memory lane.

He had 23 cabins, a restaurant and gasoline pumps on the premises. It was in operation from the early 1930's until his death in 1960. In 1961 Robert Morrell, of Storyland, purchased the property from the Way Family and envisioned a motel built in the style of chalets he had seen in Bavaria when he was in the military. A friend of his of the 10th Mountain Division drew the sketches which Morrell later showed to Ernest Mallett . The end result was the Linderhof Motor Inn which was built by Ernest Mallett in 1966. (Source: "The Latchstring Was Always Out" - Aileen Carroll - 1994) Rona Doyle Hamilton sent us some details about the Linderhof: ( March 2026 ) " The Linderhof Motor Inn next to Storyland was built by my dad Ronald Richard Doyle and his half brother Ernie Mallett. My Dad brought his brother into real estate in Ma before they moved to NH. We bought our house on Kearsarge St in North Conway from Mr Morrell who owed Storyland. I caught the bus everyday with his son Stoney Morrell. " charlies Linderhoff Anchor 1 Linderhoff Motor Inn 1970's From 1970 to 1975 the Inn was operated by Jim and Kathy Sheehan and Anna Mae Cimbak. Jim moved along to Amoskeag Distributors Company (Miller Beer) by the end of the 1970's. Kathy died in 2007 and Jim passed away December 2022 The property was later purchased by Storyland (next door) and used as employee housing.

The President of your Historical Society, Phil Franklin, doesn't talk much about himself, so this editor sought out some details about Phil. He had a long career with the Hartford Insurance and Aetna Insurance Companies as a Senior Administrator and Program Director in Connecticut. He attended Providence College and Xavier High School in Middletown, CT. Phil is no stranger to the world of volunteerism and the act of giving back , not only to those things that enabled his own success, but community endeavors as well. You can read his volunteer philosophy at this link: (There are some nice pictures too.) "As a long time volunteer at Xavier he never stopped giving back." When Phil and wife, Sue, moved to Bartlett they said "We're not just moving to Bartlett to be here- We're moving here to be part of the community." During his time in Bartlett he served four years as Chairman of the Bartlett Planning Board (2015-2019). He's on the Board of Directors for the Stillings Grant Homeowners Assoc and is a contributing writer for the Mt. Washington Valley Vibe magazine. Phil has been part of the Bartlett Historical Society since 2015. As you may know, Phil has been the instrumental force behind the renovation of the Catholic Church in the Village to be the new location for the Bartlett History museum. If you see Phil out and about, do some name dropping. He may be curious how you know so much about him. He knew that I was going to add something here...but I didn't tell him exactly what, or how much. Phil, Sue and Grandchildren BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 Commerce in Bartlett 1890 to 1960 Upper Village Area Albany Avenue From 1900 to the early 1980's every day in Bartlett Village began with the 7 a.m. steam whistle at the Peg Mill which could be easily heard for several miles around. The noon break was similarly begun, and the day ended, at 5 p.m. when the final whistle of the day was sounded. For many, life revolved around the plaintive signal from the Mill. When the first settlers arrived in Bartlett in the 1790's today's Upper Village was the "end of the line" as far as passable roads were concerned. It was not until 1807 when the Tenth Mountain Turnpike was completed through Crawford Notch that the Village became an important mid-way point along the way from Lancaster to Portland. It opened the way for artists and writers to more easily visit the area and through their written accounts and paintings the tourist industry was born. Teamsters in great caravans a quarter mile long, sometimes stopped in the Village and several stage lines also brought travelers who would stay the night before continuing through the Notch. It would be another seventy years until the boom generated by the railroad passing through town gave the Village a memorable boost. Before the railroad came to Bartlett most activity revolved around self sufficient farming and small lodging houses. The population was about 670 in all of Bartlett. With the coming of the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad in 1873, The Village of Bartlett realized a dramatic increase in population and commerce. The demand increased more when the railroad was completed through Crawford Notch in 1875. Unlike today, 100 years ago Bartlett Village was a bustling place. By 1890 the population was about 1200 but that number was about triple that during the summer months. The precise history of exactly where many of the business were located is sketchy however; In 1893 (or 1896 depending which story you believe) the entire Village business district was destroyed by a fire that spread with lightening like rapidity. Within 2-½ hours but one store was left in the place. Fourteen families had been burned out and the Maine Central Railway Station, restaurant, and freight depot, together with the post office were destroyed. The other principal losses included: Mr. & Mrs. Foster, general store, -P.J. Martin, general store, - F. Garland, drugs and jewelry, -E.O. Garland building -J. Emery house, - J. Head house -H.E. Brooks grocery store, -H.L. Towle’s building, - A.L. Meserve building, -Miss Emily A. Merserve's tenement block, - Miss Bates, millinery. The primary point being that most of the buildings in the Village Business area must be newer than the 1893 fire. Considering the great numbers of businesses that thrived here it is a little surprising that so few of them are remembered in any great detail or even where they were located. Below is Albany Ave, 1915, looking North. Church steps on left, Post Office on the right and Howard Hotel. Various sources identify these businesses as existing in the Village area about 1890: (We might assume that many of these were destroyed in the 1893 fire) George Brothers Drygoods, Gents Furnishings, Boots and Shoes; P.J. Martin, Clothing, Gents Furnishings and Undertaking; W.S.Foster - Livery & Boarding Stable; Frank Simono, Barber & Shoemaker; P. Fortier, Barber; H.L. Brooks & Co. Groceries-Meats-Provisions; E. Sarson, General Store E.O. Garland General Mdse; Garland, Howard & Co, General Merchandise; Ed Butler, Groceries, Confectionery & Cigars; F.E. Garland, Drugs & Jewelry; Geo. M. Knowles, Newsroom & Barber By the 1920's the following business names were added to the list: The Howard Garage, repairs and gasoline, air and storage; Garland's Ice Cream Parlor and Tea Room; James Donahue's General Store; Garland Bros. Drug Store; In addition to these endeavors the Village also had a movie theater showing first "the silents" followed years later by "the talkies" , a pool room, a Village Band, two Doctors, two Churches and there was a bowling alley on River Street. The Bartlett Free Public Library (established in 1896) was housed on the lower level of the Congregational Church. The Village also had its own jail located just off Albany Avenue on the south side of the railroad tracks. One must remember that during these days there were no paved roads between Bartlett and Portland and most traffic came and went by train. Additionally there were at least a dozen Inns and lodging places in the Village that served the travelling public. For a time, Upper Bartlett Village was "the place to be", out-ranking nearby North Conway, which holds that distinction today. Garland's Store, Barbershop and Post Office on Albany Ave. No Date was provided but probably in the 1940-1950 range. Garlands was a drug store, but also sold clothing, footwear and hardware. This building is on Albany Avenue, just across the tracks on the right...Most recently it has been transformed to apartments. The brown building at the center of the lower picture was most recently Jacobson's Grocery Store. Now (2019) the building is gone and now a vacant lot. Sidebar Pictured above is the G.K. Howard Store, also on Albany Avenue. Later it was The General Thermostat Factory. Driving south on Albany Ave towards Bear Notch Road it was just across the tracks on the left. Today there are some condo type units in the same spot. There was a building just before the tracks on the right that housed Wimpy Thurston's Grocery Store, later operated by the Jacobson's. The building looked similar to the GK Howard Store but without the dormers. Today that site is an empty lot. Mr. Howard at his office, below. The line down the right side of the picture is not a wrinkle...it's an electric wire. Granville K Howard Mr. Howard was born in Hartford, Vt., in 1864, he was graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1886 and always kept up his interests in the activities of the college. In 1887 he married Nellie Bailey of Landgrove, Vt., and two years later he moved to Bartlett. From that time until his retirement in 1946 he was active in business, conducting a general store. In 1912 he built the Howard Hotel, which would later be known as the Bartlett Hotel. He owned "Howard's Camps" , which later became Silver Springs Campground. The Dunrovin Inn was originally the private Residence of GK Howard and before he opened the Howard Hotel he had taken in travelers at this location. Mr. Howard held many town offices, having served as selectman and as a member of the school board. He was instrumental in forming the Bartlett Water Precinct of which he was treasurer for 51 years. Always interested in the welfare of the town, one of his last acts was to give a plot of land opposite the hotel for a public park . For many years he was active in Osceola Lodge, I. O. O. F., He died in November of 1949. The Dunrovin Inn: G.K. Howard's Inn and Residence. Photo about 1940. --------------------------------- Howard's Camp , later Silver Springs Campground. 1920's: Albany Avenue looking north towards today's Route 302. The storefront was later to be Wimpy Thurston's grocery store, followed by Jacobson's grocery store and thereafter it was briefly used as living space for Peter Marcoux with a youth center downstairs. It was later demolished and is an empty lot today (2019). I don't know what store it may have been at the time of this photo, the identifying signs are not readable, even when enlarged. The building next door is the Garland Hotel and next to that is the Union Congregational Church . Across from the Church was the former James Donahue General Store , which later became Mallett's Grocery Store. 1920's: Railroad Square. The railroad tracks are just off to the right of this picture. The first house on left was where Helen Hayes lived and took in boarders. The house burned in the 1980's and was replaced with the building that is there today (2019). Next to that, with the flat roof, is the I.O.O.F (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) Hall. It was also used by the Knights of Pythias. It also had a movie theater and stage for live performances. The Lloyd Chandlers live in the next house today. The steeple (if that's what it's called) of the School is visible at right top. During the 1950's and 60's the foreground area was a popular spot for impromptu baseball games on weekends or after school. With the lack of an umpire some games became very contentious often ending with the owner of the balls and bats taking his equipment and going home. Some residents of that time period might remember playing "cowboys and Indians " in the woods, a popular game, however, in Bartlett, it was played with real guns...(although probably not loaded). Meanwhile, out on main street..... In the 1930's The Main Street through Bartlett was dominated by elm trees, residences, Inns, a few restaurants and bars and automobile service stations. In 1854, Bartlett's first church, The Chapel of the Hills , occupied a spot in front of today's school. An establishment on Main Street known as the Red Rooster had a reputation as a popular "drinking" spot. A bit later, a similar establishment known as The Main Street Restaurant was operated by Eleanor Macumber across the street from Howard's Texaco . Farther west on Main Street, Bob Davis operated a home heating oil business. Bartlett Village streets were lined with mature elm trees up until the mid 1940's when the Dutch Elm disease decimated them and none remain today. Fred and Grace Garland operated Garland's Tea Room, and later it was a restaurant and ice cream parlor know simply as "Garlands". It also had a few cabins, some of which are still there today. This restaurant operated until the early 1970's and was destroyed by fire. It was located just west of today's Post Office. The What Not Shop was operated by Franklin and Almeda George from the mid 1940's. True to it's name, the store carried practically everything one could want in those days and even had an ice cream soda parlor. For quite a time they sold gasoline out front. Franklin was the Town tax collector in those days and he operated that activity from the store as well. Franklin and his wife lived right across the street in the same house that his ancestors operated as an Inn in the mid 1800's. After Franklin's death the store was operated by Dottie Howard for a few years and then by David & Debby Phanauef , who renamed it to the Bear Notch Deli. David later sold the store to The Ryans . In January of 2009 the store was completely destroyed by fire caused by an electrical problem. The top photo of the What Not Shop is from the mid 1950's The Beginning of changing times. As quickly as prosperity arrived, it departed almost as quickly, when rail passenger service on the Maine Central was discontinued in 1958. By 1983 freight service also ended and the Village fell silent, although most of the residents remained. It is interesting to note the overall decline in merchandise and service businesses from 1960 through 2020; even though the overall Town population has nearly tripled over that time span the population of the Upper Village area has remained about the same, at least as near as can be told by outward appearances. It is estimated that fewer than 500 people reside in the immediate Village area. This has been a result of changing modes of transportation and the centralization of businesses closer to the major population centers..(i.e. the Conway area) . The economic realities of operating a business in smaller local's took its toll on the Upper Village area. When zoning was implemented in the 1980's all of Albany Avenue was zoned residential, thus excluding any business activities. Despite the changes over the years it seems today's residents of the Village area are quite content with everything just as it is. The tourist industry has seen a significant change as travelers tastes and demands changed the smaller Inns and lodgings decreased correspondingly. Bartlett as a whole has prospered as Attitash and Storyland became the focus of attention supporting both the tourist business and a boom in condominium and second home construction and ownership in the town.

They accepted an offer from William Stark , who had been granted 3000 acres from Governor Wentworth, to homestead on part of the land. Their little area was originally known as Starks Location . In later times it became known as Jericho. So the story goes, Enoch was motivated to move north after a brief dalliance with a Rachel Terrell in Dunbarton (his former home). Later, Rachel, "big with child" took her case to the New Hampshire Supreme Court when Enoch refused marriage. Whether or not Rachel's claims were true it provided Enoch a chance to escape her wrath by moving to the northern wilderness. Enoch and Humphrey differed from one another almost as much as it is possible for two people to differ. Enoch was frank, open, generous and manly in his nature, while Humphry was sullen, obstinate and contrary. Despite their differences they got along well and were well liked among their neighbors and provided valuable services needed by all. Enoch was a blacksmith by trade and his services were sought out from a wide surrounding area. Brother Humphry ran a brick company, also a much needed commodity in a growing community. In 1790 Enoch was elected to Selectman and the year before had been part of a committee to layout roads for the town. The summer drought of 1826 came to an end that August, at the time of the great disaster near the Notch, when the Willey family were destroyed, a circumstance almost as frightful occurred in connection with the family of Mr. Emery , who lived at a place called Jericho, near the Rocky Branch, a tributary of the Saco. That stream swelled enormously , and, by the rocks, trees, and logs which it brought down in its vehement course, made a complete dam just below the spot where the house stood. By this accumulation of water the house was raised from its foundation, being buoyed up on its surface like a boat. In this perilous situation the inhabitants remained all night, and it was only by the wonderful workings of Providence that they were saved from a watery grave. terrell maple mt This photo is about 100 years after the Emery's adventures on the Rocky Branch .

No other of the pioneers has so many descendants bearing his name or in positions of honor. He came from England in 1774 and worked as a privateer during the revolutionary war. John Pitman, son of Joseph, lived off from the valley road on the East branch. He married Abby , daughter of Woodman Carlton. His oldest son, Hazen, is the oldest representative of the family name. He was born January 30, 1806, married, first, Mary , daughter of Joseph Pendexter ; second, Eliza H ., daughter of Ebenezer and Polly (Huson) Tasker . He has been much in town office, and fifty years a Methodist church member. He laid the foundations of the Pequawket House by opening a boarding-house in 1854. It is said that Benjamin Pitman was left a lad on the kindness of his uncle Joseph, who brought him up as his own son. Marrying Sally Pendexter , he located in Jackson, but in a short time came to Bartlett. A stalwart man, orderly and methodical, he was powerful and harmonious in body and mind, and very decided. As a result of the industry of himself and wife, he had one of the largest and best cultivated farms in Bartlett, Cedarcroft Benjamin's son, John P. Pitman, was a teacher for many years, prominent in town, and county treasurer of Coos county for three terms. He had a dignified presence and unquestioned integrity. A sterling Democrat, he did much good work in filling the quota of Bartlett in the Civil War. He died unmarried a few years since. 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. So loyal were the guests that the year following the fire they held a reunion in Boston, inviting the Pitmans and all the guests who had been regular visitors. Hon. George W. M. Pitman Son of Joseph and Joanna (Meserve) Pitman , was born in Bartlett, May 8, 1819. He lived with his parents until he was twelve years of age, then went to the tavern of his cousins, Stephen and Ezra Meserve , located where Pitman Brothers' East Branch House now stands, remaining there three years, and then returned to his home. He was educated at the public schools of North Conway and Fryeburg, Maine. In the fall of 1840 he married Emeline, Ann (Davis) Chubbuck, and continued In residence in Bartlett where he has always made his home. Judge Pitman was engaged in teaching for some five or six years, then in surveying, for which he had fully qualified himself, he has done much in surveying and platting, probably more than any other man in the state, and fully demonstrated his ability that he has frequently been called upon as an expert. Many of the original surveys in the White Mountain region were made by him. Studying law, he began practice in 1855, in which he has continued ever since. Liberal in religion and a sound Democrat in politics, he has represented all the various town offices, including chairman of the board of selectmen. For twenty years; served as county commissioner from 1856 to 1859, inclusive; judge of probate, 1874 to 1877 (he is said to have been the best for length of service the county has ever had) ; member of the legislature twelve terms, from 1857 to 1869; of the senate in 1870 to 1872 and president of that body during his second term. He enjoys the distinction of being the only citizen who has been honored by a seat in three constitutional conventions. Another circumstance concerning the Pitman family is worthy of note: Judge Pitman , his father Joseph , and his son Lycurgus , three generations, have each been chosen state senator. Judge Pitman has been for many years a man of extensive influence, as s shown by the record of his serving so many terms in important positions. His dignified appearance and affable and genial nature have made him a favorite among the people; while his sterling integrity, ripened judgment, and large experience in public and private affairs have made him a desirable representative to protect their interests.

history of the goodrich falls area bartlett, nh BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 Goodrich Falls Area Upper Bartlett Glen Area Cooks Crossing Goodrich Falls Jericho Intervale Dundee West Side Road Kearsarge Today's "Timmy's Bridge" was a covered bridge long ago. Ownership/Regulatory Status The Goodrich Falls hydroelectric project (the “Goodrich Falls project”) presently (as of 2015) owned and operated by the Goodrich Falls Hydroelectric Corporation, a New Hampshire corporation formed in 1977 for the sole purpose of owning and operating the Goodrich Falls project. The history of development, ownership and operation of the Goodrich Falls project is described below. (Owner in 2024 is "Clark's Bears" of Lincoln) The Goodrich Falls project was constructed in the early 1900’s by Edwin Moody, the owner and operator of the Black Mountain Ski Area and Phil Robertson of the local electric department in Jackson, NH. To attract skiers to Black Mountain, which at that time was known as Moody’s. Edwin Moody and local inventor, George Morton , constructed one of the first ski lifts in NH. The Goodrich Falls project was constructed in concert with the lift in order to provide daytime power for the lift and nighttime power for the skiers staying in Moody’s lodge. Ownership of the project was transferred to the Goodrich Falls Hydroelectric Corporation in 1977 and was operated as an unlicensed facility until its application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for an exemption under Part I of the Federal Power Act. On January 8, 2001, the Goodrich Falls Hydroelectric Corporation (“GFHC”), filed an application to exempt the existing, unlicensed, 550-kilowatt Goodrich Falls project from the licensing requirements set forth under Section 408 of the Energy Security Act and Part I of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The project is located on the Ellis River, in the town of Bartlett , Carroll County, New Hampshire. On March 14, 2002, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) issued an Order Granting Exemption from Licensing (the “Exemption”) for a project 5MW or less, to GFHC for the continued operation of the Goodrich Falls project, FERC Project No. 11870 (see Appendix 1-1). Included in the exemption were additional measures to protect, mitigate adverse impacts to, and enhance project-related environmental resources. Construction of the Goodrich Falls project was completed in 1935 when first power was generated. The project has operated successfully since initial power was generated in 1935. This editor has been informed that the plant is still producing electricity in 2025 and is now owned by the same folks who own "Clark's Bears" (Formerly "Clark's Trading Post") in Lincoln. The Turbine Room at Goodrich Falls Hydro Plant. Photo is un-dated so it may not look like this now. Mills. - The first gristmill Hazen Pitman remembers was Joseph Thomp- son's at Centre Bartlett on Ellis river. This was carried off by a freshet years ago. Soon after the road from Jackson to Glen station was opened, Mr Goodrich built a saw and grist mill on the Kails that bear his name, and the site has been ever since occupied by a mill of some sort, a very line one being now there. Allium Allen had a mill close by the present village of Bartlett. This was long in use. Frank George and Levi Rogers bought the property, and the mill was given up in decay. A small mill was in operation on Stillings hrook in Upper Bartlett under the ownership of Samuel Parker. John Pitman linilt a sawmill about islO, near his home on East branch, a mile above the valley road, and Stephen Burbank had a saw and gristmill in Jericho on Rocky Branch. source Merrill History of Carroll County George Morton Undated.

Hill Town Cemetery The Hill Cemetery is an enchanted little spot located on Upper West Side Road. It is approximately 2 miles from the Bartlett end of West Side Road. Many of the headstones appear to be exceptionally well cared for, or more likely, they have recently been replaced. These photos taken in 2010. Other times I have been there the maintenance has been better. Most stones are unreadable or covered in moss. CLICK ON THE STONE FOR A LARGER SIZE POP-UP That's West Side Road directly below the cemetery. When leaves are gone there is a nice view to the east and the river.

Married to Abigail Cook. Samuel William Drown was born on 4 April 1829, in Eaton, NH. His father, James Drouin, was 19 and his mother, Rachel Hill, was 21. He had at least 2 sons and 4 daughters with Mary Abigail Cook. He died on 6 July 1887, in New Hampshire, United States, at the age of 58. The location overlooks the West Side Road. I can imagine 80 years ago, with fewer trees, it probably enjoyed a fine view down the valley and Saco River. The cemetery site is accessible by a small driveway however, be advised that exiting back onto West Side Road, the visibility is very poor. It might be wise to seek nearby parking and hike back to the driveway, or hike up the little hill pictured above. Samuel Abigail BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 Rick Garon ‎ sent us this information about his Great Great Grandmother who lived on the West Side Road in the 1850's. His description below: "Don't know if this means anything, but these are picture of my great great grandmother, Mary Abigail Cook Drown, born in Porter, Maine in 1830 to William Cook and Abigail Bickford. She was the wife of Samuel William Drown. She died in 1923. One picture was taken of the house on West Side Road. Don't know who the child is. possibly my grandmother who was born in 1902. But there were other children of that age in the family at that time. Click on any picture for a larger size in a new window. Many older stones are difficult to read or completely moss covered. Those with a need to know can probably carefully scrape away the vegetation covering the name and date. Anchor 2 Anchor 3 Anchor 4 Anchor 5

The Hotel was managed by one Edgar Stevens , whose specialty was entertaining the guests both at the Inn and with excursions through the mountains. Mr Stevens was a fabulous story-teller and enjoyed personally escorting his guests on wild rides through the mountains. The Inn's rooms were advertised as large and airy, with electric lights, hot and cold running water, and excellent views from most rooms. There was also a large farm connected with the hotel that provided fresh eggs, meat and vegetables. All this could be had for prices ranging from $7 to $12 per week. (in perspective, an average family earned about $35./ month in 1895). On May 1, 1905 the Cave Mountain House and barn were totally destroyed by fire caused by a defective chimney. The insured loss amounted to $10875. The site remained empty until 1912 when the Howard Hotel was built on the same site. caveMtnHse See a page that combines the stories of The Cave Mountain House; The Howard Hotel; and The Bartlett Hotel: Look Now The Cave Mountain House burned in 1905 and was rebuilt as The Howard Hotel. Owned by G.K. Howard it opened in 1912. It was a first class hotel in its prime. Every room on the second and third floor connected with a bathroom, hot and cold water, and a room telephone to the front desk. The dining room seated 75 people. It provided drivers. See the original 1912 sales brochure for the Howard Hotel HERE The hotel was eventually purchased by Matt Elliot and Realand Hart and renamed the Bartlett Hotel. Matt operated the Hotel until his death in1985 at which time it was purchased by the Yannones of Brockton Massachusetts. In the winter of 1989 the Hotel was destroyed by fire caused while thawing frozen pipes. Source credit: The Latchstring was Always Out Aileen M. Carroll The Howard Hotel The Bartlett House was built in 1856 by Franklin George , first as his residence and shortly thereafter, as the town became a stopover for travelers on their way through Crawford Notch, he operated as an Inn. (There was no railroad in 1856). During the next 15 years several additions were made and in 1872 it became known as The Bartlett House. (Not to be confused with The Upper Bartlett House which was about half a mile further west). After the railroad was constructed through the Notch Franklin leased the Mt Crawford House for a period of five years beginning in 1872. It's location directly on the railroad line was ideal. Franklin was an industrious man, laying out a bridle path to the summit of Mt Langdon, operating a building and loan association and owning vast tracts of land stretching from the Saco River to the Albany Town Line. He also established the Bartlett Water Company and found time to be a Bartlett Selectman for six terms. He served as a State Representative in 1878 and was the Town Tax Collector as late as 1890. The former Bartlett House is located in the center of the Village at the blinking light. It is now the residence of Bert and Gretta George. It operated as an Inn from 1856 to 1892.

Carroll 1994 Historic Lodging Map Hotels Lodging Page 1 Continue to page 2 Continue to page 3 The Bide-a-Wee is the second house on the left on River Street in the Village. It was operated by Charlotte and Frank Lobdell from 1920 to 1941. They catered to railroad workers and tourists alike. The Maple Cottage Owned by George Chesley from about 1920 to 1939. He could accommodate both summer boarders and auto parties. After World War 2 it was purchased by the Stoatemaiers and is currently operated as The Lawrencian Ski Club . The Woodbine Cottage (below) was built in 1890 by Alba Charles Gray and Ida Story Gray . They had a lumber business and built this home in 1890 in Bartlett. They eventually sold the home and it was later operated by Mrs A.F. Bergeron in the 1930's. It was later occupied by Richard Jones and retains nearly all the character now as then. Upon Mr Jones death the property was willed to a group of his friends who utilize it as a vacation home. It is the second house east of the school. Just Across the street is the former Elms Inn operated by Mrya Smith and now the home of Cheryl and Richard Ne alley. The building just to the east was a Sunoco Gas Station and repair shop operated by Ellwood Dinsmore from the mid 1940's to the early 1970's. OBED HALL, Early Pioneer In 1790 Obed Hall's Tavern was probably located at the junction of today's Bear Notch Road and Route 302, today's park. Obed came to Bartlett from Madbury as an early Bartlett pioneer who became a prominent citizen, serving as Selectman, Town Treasurer, and was elected to Congress in 1810. In 1819 he ran for the Senate but did not win that election. Travel at this time was hazardous and Tavern-keepers considered themselves benefactors to the traveling public rather than businessmen. Mr Hall was one of two appointed as Surveyors of Highways and he was among those who petitioned the General Court in 1793 for a tax of one penney per acre to be used for the improvement of roads within the town. Obed first married a woman 20 years his senior and second time a woman 20 years his Junior. After Obed's death his wife moved to Portland Maine and re-married to Richard O'Dell. Obed's Tavern was operated at various times by William White and Benjamin Gould. In addition to the Tavern Mr Hall also tended a large farm which was located partially on the property that is todays Sky Valley Motel. It was probably 100 acres or more. It was thought that he also operated a lodging establishment at the farm. Mr Hall's brother Ebenezer also lived in Bartlett and was a school teacher in the local school. From 1811 to 1829 he was Judge of Probate for Coos County (Joseph S. Hall was NOT related to Obed, but he was the builder of the first summit house on Mount Washington in 1852. Joseph Seavey Hall of Bartlett was one of the most important participants in mid-nineteenth century events in Crawford Notch (or the White Mountain Notch as it was known in those days) and on Mt. Washington. Yet most people have never heard of him. Obed 1st was the uncle of this Obed. OBED HALL 2nd. 1795 -1873 Son of Hon. Ebenezer L. and Lydia (Dinsmore) Hall ; born, Conway, February 23, 1795 ; (Ebenezer was Obed 1st's brother) practiced, Bartlett and Tamworth ; died, Tamworth, May 21, 1873. In the war of 1812 Mr. Hall was in the military service for a short time, in a company of militia at Portsmouth. His early education was imperfect, and he studied law three years with Enoch Lincoln of Fryeburg, Maine, and two years with Lyman B. Walker of Meredith. He first set up in practice at Bartlett, and about 1820 changed his residence to Tamworth. He was representative in the legislature in 1840 and 1841, in which latter year he was appointed register of Probate for the new county of Carroll. That post he occupied ten years. In 1854 and 1856 he was a State Senator. He was a lawyer of respectable acquirements, but preferred to give his time and attention to politics, which did not conduce to his legal progress nor to his pecuniary profit. He gave much attention to his farm, being partial to agriculture. He was public-spirited, and in private life benevolent and kindly. His first wife was Elizabeth Gilman of Tamworth, who bore him one daughter; his second was Caroline E., daughter of John Carroll of Maine. She left him a daughter, who outlived her father.

It began as a private residence but by 1918 was operated as an Inn/Restaurant by Gertrude Thompson whose husband worked as a fireman on the railroad. In 1945 it was purchased by Sanford Hill who renamed it th e Chippanock (bright north star). He continued to operate it until his death in the early 1990'S. Compare the two pictures below, the left picture is about 1920. The right picture is about 1950. Business must have been good to allow for the significant expansion. And now...(2025) In 2002 Jerry & De Snyder heard a story on their local TV station about a Bed and Breakfast that was conducting a contest to “give it away”. The Chippanock Inn rules were simple: write an essay as to why they should give it to you. They researched the Inn and found out it was built in the late 1800's. Somewhere in the 1900's the Inn was bought by the Thompson family and called the Thompson Inn. Increasing guest capacity, the barn was converted into a rooming house complete with 10 bedrooms and bathrooms. Not enough folks entered that contest and needless to say, the Snyders wound up buying the Inn . They moved in and started a new life as Inn-Keepers. During that time, they met and befriended many people, some who would became good friends and repeat guests. After some time, they realized Inn keeping wasn’t for them and they began the process of renovation. It's name jokingly became the “Chippen' Paint Inn” to them. After years of toiling in the “mines” they FINALLY pulled the plug and put it on the market with hopes that someone with a VISION would come in and bring the old girl back to her former beauty, and back to "life." In January, 2021, Along came Jana and Mark who have revitalized and are breathing new life and hope into what was formerly the Chippanock Inn, now known as The Bartlett Village House. Editors comment: Beautiful renovation, have a look: https://bartlettvillagehouse.com/ "Good Luck in your new venture and we wish you both many years of success. - Jerry & De Snyder" thompsons chipanock silverSprCottage Silver Springs Cottage was actually a large farm operated by James and Emeline Nute ...(not to be confused with Silver Springs Lodge further west on Rte 302) Folks would come to spend the summer on a rural farm. It burned years ago but it's cellar hole is still visible just east of Mountain Home Cabins. The property was eventually inherited by Carrie LeBar , Upper Bartlett's only black resident in the 1960's, who operated the Lone Maple which was located about a half mile closer to the Village Center. It also burned in the late 1960's and has been replaced by the home of the Gerry and Eileen McManus. 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 It 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 in Bartlett and Clifton tended milking cows. The property continues to be operated by Clifton's grand children who also operate Bear Notch Ski Touring Company from the site mtnHome OrinCook Directly across the street from the Woodbine is the Willow Cottage Inn which was owned by Ralph and Elizabeth Mead .

Click Pic for a large view Judith Garland Miller of Lake Helen Florida provided this information about her father, Eben Garland: (1/23/13) Editors Note: An 1890 map of Bartlett Village shows an E.O. Garland General Merchandise Store ; however, this Eben was not of that branch of the family. This Eben resided in the Intervale area. Judith Garland Miller told us "He left Bartlett as a young man probably in his 20s. He married my mother in 1937 in Pennsylvania and he never mentioned anything about the 'Garland Inn'. That may be another branch of the garland family. His father was Grover Wildred Garland and his father was James Merle Garland." Judy Garland Miller continues, "Now that the holidays and bustle of the season is past, thought I would get back to you and give you a little something: My father - Eben Garland - told me this soon before he passed away. He said in 1918 or 1919 maybe the winter of 1919 -1920 there was a movie made about a logging camp on his grandfather's farm. The movie stared Harold or Howard Lockwood. My father is in the movie along with his grandfather. They had an oxen driven wagon and my father was in the wagon. It was either in the Dundee or Intervale area. I cannot find out anything about this but maybe it would be something that would be in some archives or something about the area. This is all I know but maybe it could be something to look into. Thank you, Judith Garland Miller" If you know more about this, or anything else about Eben, tell us. the garland Eben Aerial 1952: The west end of Main Street showing the train yard.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Willie House Area of Crawford Notch slidepic Nothing brings as much attention as a good disaster story. Crawford Notch became a Tourist attraction in 1826 when the Willie family was killed in a massive landslide. After this event, more so than any other event, cemented the name Willie House into a National human interest story. Read the whole story of the Willey landslide at this page. The Willey House area on Rte 302 Began with the Samuel Willey family who moved into this wilderness in 1821. The Willie Slide, in 1826, put the area on the map as not only their lodging accommodations but also a major tourist attraction of the time. The Willey House Inn is shown at left. The Inn burned in 1898. FIRST HOUSE IN THE NOTCH. The Willey House is the oldest building erected in the Notch. This was built in the year 1793, by a Mr. Davis, to accommodate the unfortunate storm-bound traveller, who, from curiosity, or on business, might dare the dangers of this wild pass. The absence of an Inn did not end the tourist appeal and after the Inn burned, during the early 1900's the area sprouted a camping area on the same spot. By the 1920's a man named Donahue from Bartlett obtained a lease on the site and began building Willie Camps, which featured a snack bar and cabins. The snack bar and a gift shop occupy the site to this day (2011) WHsePic1860s camps When the railroad came through the Notch in 1857 it brought with it a small contingency of new residents. A railroad Station House for the section crew was erected at the west end of the Willey Brook Trestle. It became better known for the family who lived there, Hattie and Loring Evans. They arrived in the summer of 1903 and set up housekeeping in the lonely wilderness. Loring and Hattie raised their four children here. Tragically, Loring was killed in 1916 when a train went the opposite of the way he anticipated. Hattie Stayed on until 1942 and raised the four children alone. The house was razed by the railroad in 1972. To read the entire story of the House and the Evans Family pick up the book "Life By The Tracks" by Virginia C. Downs published in 1984 EDITORS NOTE: One railroad expert, Bob Girouard, informs us that Loring Evans died on Thanksgiving day 1913. END OF THE LINE FOR MT WILLARD HOUSE: Later, a small pond was created by building a dam across the Saco River which originates about a mile further west. A pedestrian bridge led to a wildlife exhibit with deer, bear, possums, owls and other birds, raccoons, skunks and other critters native to the area. It closed in the 1970's. Incidents were few, but there is this story from 1952 about an 18 year old employee, Robert Huckins, was killed by a bear after a feeding. wildlife huckins WillardHsePIC Devils eNDoFlINE "The Devils Den" up the side of Mt. Willard, seen from the notch opposite the Silver Cascade, though as yet but imperfectly explored, deserves a passing notice. From below it appears like a dark hole in the steep cliff; and, though various attempts have been made to explore its shadowy secrets, from the day it was first discovered by old Abel Crawford till 1850, it remained among the unvisited wonders. To F. Leavitt, Esq., belongs the credit of succeeding, by means of a rope let down from the overhanging rock above, in the accomplishment of the daring enterprise of first visiting that spot. Fancy a man suspended over a dark gulf more than a thousand feet deep, by a rope let down from a ragged crag to a dark hole in the mountain, around the entrance of which were scattered the skulls and bones of animals, and you have a glimmering of the picture. Our hero lost all desire to enter that dismal cavern, and, kicking the rope, was again drawn up ; and since that time, by his description, no explorer has been found with sufficient nerve and curiosity to make a second attempt. As there has never been discovered any possible means by which that den can be approached by foothold up the rock, and as the old Evil One has such daily business with mortal affairs, rather than believe that to be his abode, it appears more just to conclude that alone there the mountain eagle finds a solitary home. Source: Historical relics of the White Mountains: Also, a concise White Mountain guide By John H. Spaulding 1862 Here is another account of The Devils Den taken from The White Mountains: a handbook for travelers: a guide to the peaks, passes ...edited by Moses Foster Sweetser; 1886: The Devil's Den is a black-mouthed cavern on the S. side of the cliffs of Mt. Willard, and is plainly seen from the road. It is reported that Crawford visited it, many years ago, and found the bottom strewn with bones and other ghastly relics ; and marvelous stories of the supernatural were afterwards told about it. In 1856, however, the Den was explored by Dr. Ball, who was lowered down the cliff by .ropes. He found it to be 20 ft. wide and deep, and 15 ft. high, very cold and damp, but containing nothing remarkable or interesting During the State Survey of 1870, explorers were lowered to the Den by a rope 125 ft. long, but their discoveries did not repay the peril of the descent.
