Farm and buildings established in 1780 by j. tasker. A strong wind and brutal cold didn't help matters. A bit of History First JANUARY 1980: H arry Rogers, 82, was born and lived on this family farm his entire life. Rogers lived with his niece, Betty Jackson. This is a farm that was worked by the Rogers Family for 200 years...Dating back to 1780, ten years before Bartlett became an incorporated town. The house and barns were originally built by Jonathan Tasker. (Photo at left shows Harry Rogers in brown coat and Lyman Garland, a next door neighbor, in red coat.) Jonathan Tasker was married to Comfort Seavey and settled in Bartlett on what is now known as the Rogers farm. Jonathan Tasker, Sr. was a descendant of John Tasker who emigrated from England and settled in Madbury, NH. The Jonathan Tasker family was located in Bartlett in the late 1700’s, settling there between 1780-1790.and there reared his two sons - Ebenezer and Jonathon. Jonathan, the elder, was moderator at the first town meeting held in Bartlett on July 9, 1790. Along with John Pendexter and Enoch Emery, Jonathan served as the first board of Selectmen . In addition to selectman, he also served as town clerk for many years as well as on a committee with Enoch Emery and Samuel Cotton “ to look out and locate roads.” Jonathan is believed to have died ca. 1805 in Bartlett. The Tasker family of Bartlett married into the Rogers family and the George family of Bartlett as well as the Bassett family of Jackson, among others. An 1892 map shows the property being owned by one T.S Rogers. J.C. Rogers is shown on the same map with property on the North Side of the Saco River in the Upper Village. The location is now the home of Jean Garland. John and Doug are her son's and they now live on what was the J. Nute farm in 1892. (Check the index of this website for information about the Nute's, there is even a picture of them as well as a link to the 1892 map). (The Tasker story can be found elsewhere on this website, see the link above in the main menu "PEOPLE STORIES ) The fire started about 8 a.m. and by 10 a.m. what had survived for 200 years was gone in less than 2 hours. The cause of the fire was either an electrical problem or the pipe that Harry always smoked was carelessly placed and caught the hay on fire. Still no water and something bright erupts on the dwelling portion of the homestead. About 10 a.m. and all the out-buildings except the garage are reduced to ash and rubble. All the water had to be brought to the scene by tanker truck. About 8:45 all the water on hand was used. George "Red" Marcoux was the Town Fire Chief in 1980. Water finally arrives at a time when 5 minutes seems like an hour The main house suffers severe water damage.and is deemed a total loss A little after 10: a.m., nothing left but the garage and a waterlogged main house that had to be torn down. The garage barn survived with no damage. It still stands there today, 44 years later, as a reminder of what once was. In this photo you can see Mr Rogers in brown coat wandering near the maple tree that he probably tapped for syrup at least 70 times during his life. Behind the "Army-looking" truck in the background is Betty Jackson's 1960 Thunderbird, which she bought brand new. It was rescued from the garage building, but a tractor stored in there was not so fortunate. Fire fighters on the scene. It is quite a contrast to compare the level of personal equipment the men wore then versus now. I recognize Jim Howard Jr, Buster Parker, Don Chandler and David Hayes in these pics. Can someone fill me in on the other names? Classic Title Next page, let the blame game begin. Controversy erupts in the weeks following the fire. Read the article on the next page by the Reporter Press to get the gist of the Story. I don't recall the exact outcome of this situation but I'm sure one of our readers can fill in the details of what happened. READ ON AT PAGE TWO

Dr. Harold Shedd Source: em>Genealogical and family history of the state of New Hampshire: Volume 4 - By Ezra S. Stearns, William Frederick Whitcher, Edward (Ed. note: George Horsley is Harold's father) GENEOLOGY George Horsley Shedd, son of George and Rebecca (Frost) Shedd, was born in Waterford, Maine, February 13, 1853. George Horsley's preliminary education was obtained in the public schools of Norway, Maine, and in the Norway Liberal Institute. After teaching a few years he entered the Medical School of Maine, from which lie graduated in June, 1879. His further medical education was obtained by post-graduate work in New York. Philadelphia, Berlin, and the hospitals of Berne, London. Paris, and Edinburgh. He is a member of the New Hampshire Board of Medical Examiners, of the Conway Board of Health, of his county, state and the Maine Medical Societies, also of the American Medical Association. He is a Mason, being a member of Mt. Washington Lodge and Signet Royal Arch Chapter of North Conway, and of St. Girard Commandery, Knights Templar, of Littleton, New Hampshire. He commenced the practice of medicine in Bartlett, New Hampshire, during the summer of 1879, and in the spring of 1883 moved to Fryeburg. Maine, where he resided until 1891, when he removed to North Conway, where he has since resided and been actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He married, May 15, 1880, Mary Hall, daughter of Solcman Smith and Emily Augusta (Warren) Hall. Genealogy: She descended on the paternal side from Hate Evil Hall, son of one of three brothers who came from England and settled in New Hampshire. Hate Evil Hall (2) was born at Dover, New Hampshire, in 1707, and afterward settled in Falmouth, Maine, where he died, November 28, 1797. He married Sarah Furbish, of Kittery, Maine, by whom he had thirteen children: Dorothy. Daniel, Hate Evil, Mercy, Ebenezer, Abigail, William, John, Jedediah, Andrew, Nicholas, Paul and Silas.

He married (first), November, 1852, Emily Augusta Warren, granddaughter of Abijah Warren, who was born in Taunton. Massachusetts, October 15, 1762, and at the age of thirteen entered active service as minuteman in the battle of Lexington, and served with distinction throughout the Revolutionary war. She was born in Paris, Maine, April 22, 1832, and died in Norway, Maine, August 29, 1861. Of this marriage there were born three children: Mary, Julia and Lizzie E. He married (second), Olivia G. Warren, by whom one child was born : Sidney Smith Hall, now living in Waterford, Maine. Mary, daughter of Soloman Smith and Emily (Warren) Hall, and wife of Dr. George H. Shecld, was born in Norway, Maine, March 6, 1854. They have one child, George Harold, born in Bartlett, New Hampshire, November 1, 1882. He is a graduate of Harvard University, A. B. 1905, and is now a student in Harvard Medical School. Mrs. Shedd has always been active in educational and charitable work. She is ex-president of the North Comvay Woman's Club, of which she is one of the founder's ; president of the Woman's Educational League ; vice-regent of Anna Stickney Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, an3 chairman of the industrial and child labor committee of both the New Hampshire Federation of Woman's Clubs and New Hampshire Daughters of the American Revolution. John Z. Shedd was born at Norway, Maine, July 8, 1861. During the autumn of 1884 he went to Fryeburg. Maine, and entered Fryeburg Academy, from which he was graduated in 1886. The two following years were devoted to teaching and reading medicine. In 1891 the degree of M. D. was received from the Medical School of Maine, at Brunswick, since which time he has taken several post-graduate courses in New York. In 1891 he began the practice of medicine at North Conway, New Hampshire, where he has since resided and has met with a good degree of success. He is a member of his county, state and the Maine medical societies, as well as of the American Medical Association. Early in his twenty-first years he was made a Mason in Oxford Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Norway, Maine, and during the following year joined Union Royal Arch Chapter in the same town. He later withdrew from these societies to become a member of similar bodies* in the town of his adoption, where he has been an active Masonic worker, being past high priest of his chapter, of which he is a charter member. In more recent years he has become a member of St. Girard Commandery, Knights Templar, at Littleton, New Hampshire, and also of Bektash Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Concord, New Hampshire. Myrtie Nina Shedd was born at Norway, Maine, September 16, 1875. Alton Brackett Shedd was born at the same place, February 17, 1880. AAbout two years after the birth of the latter, the children with their parents removed to Waterford, where they resided until after the death of their father, in 1893. Later, with their mother, they removed to Fryeburg, Maine, where both were graduated from Fryeburg Academy. On September 20, 1899, Myrtie N. was married to Dr. Byron W. McKeen. a native of Fryeburg, and a classmate in the academy. He received his M. D. from the Medical School of Maine, and, after serving one year as house physician at the Maine Insane Hospital, settled in Saxony, Massachusetts, where by his pleasing personality and medical skill he built up a large and lucrative practice. He died of pneumonia. May 7, 1903, at the age of twenty-eight years. Shortly after his sister had become settled in Massachusetts, Alton B. and his mother removed to the same town and household, where they all have continued to reside. Alton B. accepted a position with the Dennison Manufacturing Company at South Framingham, where he has been advanced to becoming the head of one of its departments. SHEDD WOODS Shedd Woods is located on Route 16 and 302 directly across the highway from the Memorial Hospital. This 13-acre parcel is named for Dr. Harold Shedd, the former owner. Received by the Town in 1973 partly as a gift from the Pequawket Foundation as well as federal monies from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The property is forested primarily with tall White Pines, thus creating a special overhead forest canopy, giving the landscape a dark, deep, cool and quite atmosphere. A picnic area at the edge of the drop off down to the Saco River floodplain opens up a “photo op” of the Saco Valley and the Moat Mountains just beyond in the National Forest. A connecting parcel, also given to the Town by the Pequawket Foundation, gives access to Shedd Woods from River Road. This long, narrow 3-acre lot on the east bank of the Saco River is primarily an open field maintained by the Town for picnicking, sunbathing, and swimming in the Saco. The Doctor Harold Shedd that some of us old folks can remember visiting in our childhood was Born in Bartlett in 1882, he graduated from Harvard in 1910, then spent several years in Boston and New York hospitals before returning to North Conway to practice with his father, also a country doctor. (see left column) What trauma he treated in the teens and 1920s came mainly from farm and logging accidents, and the occasional mountaineering mishap like the Jesse Whitehead accident on Mt. Washington that gained wide press attention in 1926. As interest in skiing accelerated in the 1930s, Dr Shedd's winters became increasingly occupied with treating sprains and fractures originating on the mountains and slopes of the region. He devised a new way to cast broken limbs that left openings to accommodate swelling, allowing patients to spend minimal time in the hospital. By virtue of his location in one of the hotbeds of skiing activity in the 1930s and 1940s he became one of the first experts in treating ski injuries in the country. Memorial Hospital gained expertise in the field along with him,alist in the treatment of ski injuries. In 1924 Dr. Shedd married Gertrude Greeley, the daughter of Adolphus W. Greeley, who was well known for his arctic expedition to Lady Franklin Bay from 1882-1884, and later became Chief Signal Officer for the US Army. When his father-in-law was presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1935 for his arctic exploits, Dr. Shedd was kept from attending at the last minute by the need to minister to a casualty of Mt. Washington. Dr. Shedd died in 1964 while making a house call on Kearsarge Street in North Conway. His several legacies live on in the valley; one is Memorial Hospital itself, which he shepherded through its early years, at one point even re-locating the hospital into his own house for a year while finances stabilized. Evidence of his medical handiwork can even now be seen in the dim scars on a few of his local patients, whose wounds from mowing machines and axes he stitched. His other legacy is the community of skiers which he and his associates--Carroll Reed, Harvey Gibson, Joe Dodge, Bob Davis, Bill Whitney among them--did so much to create in the Eastern Slope Region.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH REGISTRATION REPORT YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1882. MALARIA IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. The impression has been gaining ground within a year or two that malaria is rapidly invading the state, as it has some sections of Massachusetts and Connecticut. In reports received at this office from one hundred and sixty-five physicians, from nearly all sections of the state, less than thirty have seen anything like indigenous malaria in the state. The evidence received would not indicate that it is increasing in any marked degree, if at all. There are localities in which the topographical and sanitary conditions are such as to favor its development, and in such places it would be surprising if such malarial influences were not manifested. Several physicians, who report one or two cases each, have remarked that it was the first indication of malaria that they have seen in the locality, and hence expressed the opinion that it was invading sections of the state where it had never before existed.By a careful examination of the localities where it is reported to have existed, it was found that it occurred almost entirely along the larger rivers, especially the Connecticut, Ashuelot, and the Merrimack. There were very few instances given to indicate that it had a local origin. Most of the cases existed among men who "drive" logs down the Connecticut river to Holyoke or Hartford, and probably received the disease below our state line. The following is some of the testimony upon which this opinion is based George H. Shedd, M. D., Bartlett, N. H., "observed, in all, six cases of intermittent fever, in the early part of last spring— April. All these cases occurred in the camps of lumbermen. These were situated in a swampy district near a small pond. Camps were poorly ventilated, surrounded by quantities of decaying animal and vegetable matter. Some of the camps were overcrowded with men. Type, usually tertian, and most if not all, had suffered from the disease the previous summer while ' driving' the Connecticut. F. D. Henderson,M. D., West Stewartstown, N.H. "Have had about two cases,—one of the tertian type, and one of the quotidian. Cases well marked. The cases were not local, but occurred in two men who worked upon the river driving logs. C. R. Gibson, M. D., Woodsville, N.;Five cases, all rivermen passing through the place with logs in the river. Drs. T. B. C. A. Sanborn, of Newport, report fifteen cases intermittent, most of them well marked, and express the following opinion: "We have not observed any cases that have originated in this state, but have observed that they have been contracted in adjoining states, and we attribute the increase in the past two or three years to its invasion of Connecticut and Massachusetts, where part of cases were contracted. The following report from Dr. M. C. Dix, of Hinsdale, embraces a larger number of cases than have been reported by any other physician in the state, excepting one at Winchester. From the statement given, it would seem that these cases were of local origin: "Intermittent, one; quotidian and remittent, twenty. Our village lies directly upon the Ashuelot river, upon the outside, and upon the other, about a half mile to the south, lies the Connecticut. A canal which takes its rise from the Ashuelot, at the upper end of the village, runs at the base of the bluff back of the village for about four hundred yards. It is upou the low grounds bordering these rivers, and the canal, that I have treated a large majority of my cases of malaria. That there has been an increase of fevers of a remittent type during the last three years is evident to the physicians who are acquainted with the practice in our vicinity. The principal reason, to my mind, for this increase is this: that during the summer months the manufacturers who utilize the water of the canal take the opportunity of low water to repair its banks, and consequently the inhabitants in close proximity to the reeking ditch, filled with foul odors, are the principal sufferers. During the past year 1 have met with many cases, usually denominated ' bilious attacks,' especially among children, which have shown a marked periodicity as regards their worst symptoms, which invariably yielded to quinine. Dr. George W. Pierce, of Winchester, reports as follows : "I cannot give the number. The cases have all been mild, nearly all 'walking cases:' perhaps, in all, thirty. The cases have nearly all had a tertian character. There seems to be an increasing tendency to malarial manifestations ; cause, in doubt. It has been diffused all over town. It would seem from the reports of Drs. Dix and Pierce that the two south-west corner towns of the state, Hinsdale and Winchester, situated on the Connecticut and Ashuelot rivers, have experienced considerable malarial trouble,—very much greater than is reported from any other section of the state. Towns remote from the larger streams and ponds appear to be almost or quite exempt from malarial complications. There is but little evidence that malaria is increasing in this state other than that given above. No deaths are reported from malarial fever, and but a few (five or six) from cerebro-spinal meningitis. Several physicians report that in previous years they have observed malaria in their localities, but that during the past year none had been met with. The conclusions in the matter are, that sufficient evidence to prove that malaria is increasing in the state has not been presented ; that if it is increasing, its progress is so slow as to be nearly or quite imperceptible. At the close of the present year (1883) sufficient information and facts will be in the possession of this office to settle the question of its invasion into the state. toothache Malaria woods 1925 Lincoln Salon , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Further Reading Bill Clapp Eastern Slope Signal - Feb 1964 Further Reading Jeff Leich - Conway Daily Sun Article - August 2017.

Undated Intervale Station photo with Mt Washington setting the tone. The station as it appeared in the early 1970's Mt Washington in the background. Intervale Station researched and written by Scotty Mallett Intervale Station, located 64.4 miles from Portland, Maine, was originally named Intervale Junction. It was a junction point between the Maine Central and Boston and Maine Railroads. The information on the beginning and operations of this depot are sparse to say the least. However, what is known is that the Intervale Station was the crew change point for the famed “Mountaineer” that came up from Boston to Intervale. Once the train crews swapped, the B&M crew would stay in a caboose on a sidetrack waiting for the return of their equipment. Here is some more information from Dwight Smith, former owner of Conway Scenic Railroad: "The railroad station at Intervale, NH was served by both the Maine Central and Boston & Maine Railroads. The final Maine Central passenger train was on the date the MeC discontinued rail passenger service between Portland, ME and St. Johnsbury, VT. (1958) I’m not sure when the B&M ended service to Intervale, but the final B&M passenger train from Boston to North Conway was a RPO/Express/Coach Budd-liner about 1960. ( What's a Buddliner, you ask? Picture at right ) The MeC and B&M occasionally interchanged freight cars at Intervale, which included tank cars of petroleum products that originated in Portland, destined to Conway, NH. With the establishment of Conway Scenic RR (1974) and until the end of Maine Central service to Intervale (1958) second-hand passenger and freight cars plus carloads of coal were interchanged from the MeC to the CSRR. Today (2019) Passenger Trains of Conway Scenic Railroad running between North Conway and Bartlett, Crawford Notch, Fabyans, and the MeC bridge over the Saco are utilizing former Maine Central RR tracks that passes through Bartlett and makes connections to the former B&M tracks at “Mountain Junction” in Portland Maine." The sidings at Intervale could hold a maximum of 41 cars. There was also a freight house next to the station. The freight house is now located at the Kearsarge Cemetery, functioning as an equipment shed. The station closed on August 17, 1958. It survived as a private dwelling and in the late 1980’s it was moved off site and incorporated into a 2 storied private home in the Intervale area. P.S. We know that the Intervale Depot was located on the North Conway side of Intervale but as it was in throwing distance of the Bartlett town line and it was the first depot to be built after the year hiatus in building the line, we thought we would throw this in for free.

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

Native American Indian Religion Native American Indian Religious Beliefs Native American religious beliefs center on a holistic worldview where spirituality is deeply interconnected with daily life, nature, and community rather than separated into a distinct "secular" sphere. [1 , 2 ] Core Beliefs Interconnectedness and Kinship: Adherents view the world as a web of relationships where animals, plants, rocks, and celestial bodies are considered relatives and living entities. [1 , 2 ] The Creator or Universal Force: Many tribes recognize a supreme creator or all-powerful universal power—such as Wakan Tanka among the Lakota or Manitou among Algonquian peoples—alongside many localized spirits. [1 , 2 ] No Sacred-Secular Divide: According to the Encylopaedia Britannica overview of Native American religions , traditional practitioners do not separate everyday activities like farming, law, or healing from spiritual obligations. [1 , 2 ] Oral Tradition: Creation stories, moral values, and tribal histories are passed down through generations via storytelling and elders rather than fixed holy texts. [1 , 2 ] Key Practices Vision Quests: Individuals often undertake solitary fasts and communion with nature to seek personal spiritual guidance or guardian spirits. [1 , 2 ] Ceremonies and Rites: Communal events, such as seasonal dances, the Sun Dance, or the use of sacred ceremonial pipes, maintain balance and give thanks to the natural world. [1 , 2 ] Spiritual Leaders: Medicine men and women act as healers, counselors, and intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms using traditional herbs and rituals. [1 , 2 ] THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS Inferming!ed with many superstitions, the Indians had some really beautiful beliefs. Having no written word, Or any special teachers of religion. if was the privilege of anybody fo add a myth to the accumulating folklore whenever one could be thought up would seem explain natural phenomenon. The belief in a • 'Great Spirit," how. ever, was universal and he was generally pictured as a great and loving father whose extended arms bore up a nd encircled the universe. When the sun shone and gentle showers came, he was though} to be smiling; when fierce storms and intense cold Materialized, he was frowninq, or had turned his face away from his favorite children. It was he who had peopled The air, the forests and the rivers and lakes with countless spirits; some good and some evil. The evil spirits had +0 be propiiiated by presents and sacrifices or they would cause pain, sickness or the failure of crops. The good spirits could be appealed to in time of stress, as they were always glad to help the red men in their hour of need. Finally. Great Spirif had prepared for his children ' 'the Happy Hunting-Grounds•• where all were fo go after death. The kind father had made here a beautiful land of vast and magnificent forests and plains. towering mountains and crystal lakes and streams, alive with game and fish. was here that the red deer. bear and all other wild animals went when they died and they were as plentiful as the sands on the shore. The good Indian lived in this beautiful land forever with his wife and papooses; his lodge was always plentifully supplied with food and game and of sorrow he knew no more. The bad Indian. on the other hand, would return from the chase empty-handed, or else lose his way in a labyrinth of paths. He would suddenly come upon vast fields of corn and when he hungrily reached to pluck an ear, it would all dis- appear before his sight. Finally in despair he would cry out in anguish and then his more fortunate brothers would lead him home and feed him. and his punishment would be the deep chagrin all good hunters feel in being compelled t0 partake of another's bounty after failing in the hunt them- selves. The wild animals and birds in that happy land suffered no pain when killed by red men, but on the contrary shortly came back to life again and were as happy as ever.

We will gather together on Saturday, July 8, at 2 p.m. at the Church of the Transfiguration, Route 302, Bretton Woods, to remember our wonderful friend who will be greatly missed. Reception to follow at The New England Inn & Lodge in Intervale, N.H. Please bring your fondest memories of Anne to share with family and friends. More information is available online at Everloved/Anne Cotter. Anne’s love and the warmth she shared whether you knew her as Mom, Aunt Annie, Schultzie, Oma Anne or Gigi will be remembered by all those who knew and loved her. Anne was born in Nashua, N.H., Oct. 18, 1929, the daughter of Francis and Josephine Schultz. Anne attended grade school in Hollis, N.H., and graduated from Hollis High School in 1947. A proud graduate of The University of New Hampshire, Anne was an active student serving as her class secretary, writing articles for the UNH magazine and graduating with a degree in economics in 1951. She remained very close and gathered annually with her college friends. Anne would spend summers as a child with her family in Lancaster, N.H. She fell in love with the White Mountains at an early age, a place she would eventually call home and raise a family. Moving to the Mount Washington valley in the late ‘60s, Anne worked several jobs but found her niche in the restaurant industry. Finding jobs as a hostess at Yesterday’s and later managing at the Wildcat Tavern, Anne would go on to leave her stamp on the Valley as the owner of several popular and successful businesses. First opening the restaurant, ‘Ye Yankee Chef and Shultzies An Elegant Saloon, Anne brought an amazing menu and a memorable experience to her guests both as the executive chef and consummate host. Anne had amazing grace with an impeccable taste in food; a skill set that would make her the perfect person to own and run her next business, The Riverside, An Elegant Inn. This was a place that would give Anne the opportunity to let her personality and immense kindness forge so many wonderful friendships with guests that she would host from around the country and world. Countless guests would become “regulars” and then good friends. One of Anne’s favorite parts of owning the Inn was the ability it gave her to cook alongside her son, Sandy McReel and developing deep and life lasting friendships with her employees. It also afforded her the ability to have her beloved German shepherds on the property at all times. If you saw Anne, her shepherds weren’t far behind. After years of running the Inn, Anne decided to move on to her next adventures which included traveling overseas and spending more quality time with her family and friends. Time away from the Inn allowed Anne to enjoy some of her favorite things more often like listening to classical music, reading historical books and ocean day trips with her “kitchen cabinet” friends. Never to sit still, Anne continued to stay busy by running the sandwich grill and souvenir store at The Grand Summit. Anne’s empathy and compassion for other people cannot be overstated. She had an amazing ability to make everyone she came in contact with feel special and loved. If she was your friend, she was your friend for life. Anne has touched and has had such a tremendous influence on so many lives. She was always there for her family and friends and not just during good times but more importantly when people were struggling. Her light was always on and her door was always open. Anne’s generosity was endless, often lending free rooms at the Inn to friends and family that may be going through difficult times. Anne had unwavering beliefs and was an active member of her church where she found great comfort during difficult periods of her life. She was a loving relative, a doting grandmother to seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren and a fierce friend. Gigi’s bright smile, words of wisdom and bear hugs will be forever missed. There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts. Anne was predeceased by her son Albert “Sandy” McReel; her parents, Francis and Josephine Schultz; her sister Emily “Buzz” Schultz; her brother Spaulding “Spud” Schultz. She is survived by her son, Patrick Caskin and his wife Janet Caskin of Maine and their children Katie, Marisa Mora, and Patrick Caskin Jr., daughter Anne “Saucy” Wilion of Plymouth, Conn., and her children, Samuel and Elliot Wilion, daughterin- law, Kelly McReel, of Conway, N.H.; and her children, Nicholas McReel, Justin McReel, and his children, Harmony, Maximus and Jacob McReel. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to The Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. Arrangements are under the care of Wood Funeral Home at 9 Warren St. in Fryeburg, Maine.

Woodbine Cottage 76. Woodshed (the) Fosey's Roadhouse 1920-1971 The saga of hotels, inns and taverns is integral to the history of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Early settlers were quick to realize the potential value of offering lodging to teamsters, explorers and naturalists. As the region’s fame spread, businessmen and prosperous farmers began to visit the mountains. When travel to the “Crystal Hills” became easier, the area blossomed into a playground for the well-to-do. Before the era of railroads and big hotels accommodations were somewhat limited. There were many small taverns where wayward travelers and stage coaches stopped. One of such Bartlett's earliest establishments, that still exists, is the Mountain Home Cabins. The current Mountain Home Cabins originated in the early 19th century, probably as a stage stop. It was originally part of the Stillings family land and when the 10th Mountain Highway was established they operated a toll booth just a tad west of this location. It later became the property of James and Emeline Nute They sold the business to Clifton and Lucille Garland. The cabins were built two per year starting in 1931. In the 1920's, before the cabins, it operated as a campground. Cabins being a seasonal operation allowed Lucille to be a school teacher i n Bartlett and Clifton tended milking cows and delivered milk . The property continues to be operated by Clifton's grand children who also operate Bear Notch Ski Touring Company from the site as well as cabin rentals. Source Material from "The Latchstring Was Always Out" by Aileen Carroll, 1994 The establishments we know of are divided by which parts of town they were located in. Choose from the links shown below: Upper Village Area Intervale Area Glen Area As early as the mid 1800's entrepreneurs even endeavored to place hotels atop mountains. There were more than one. This one was atop Mount Washington. It burned in 1870, was rebuilt and burned again in 1908. Upper Village Area Intervale Area Glen Area Historic Lodging Map

This property once belonged to GK Howard, then Howard and Sadie Lowd who sold it to C.I. Pendelton. In the late 1940s it was owned by Henry Mead . Eventually Emil Hanson rented it and in 1971 Clinton Burke bought the business. Later Jerry and Dora English managed it. In 1976 the Schoen family took over and operated it as a popular campground until their retirement in about 2000. The building has been unused since then and the campground closed.. This photo dated 1938 This was called The Forest Inn located in Bartlett Village on the corner of Forest Ave and Rte 302.. In 1890 Frank George sold the land and probably the existing building to Clementine Lawlis. She operated it as an Inn until her death in the mid 1950's, Clementine left the property to her only survivor, Hazel Amadon, who lived near Portland Maine. Hazel sold the property in 1955 to R.G. Hazelton but it is not known how he utilized the property but he resold it to Leland Walsh in 1958. Leland Walsh was a 1st cousin to Sonny and Robert Pettengill. He was the son of their Father's Sister Ester who lived in VT. In 1967 the property was sold to Edmund and Ruth Pettengill and it remains with their descendants now (2020). Frank George probably acquired the property between 1860 and 1885 as part of many transactions in which he purchased more than a thousand acres of land in the Bartlett area from Parker, Stillings, Rogers, Towle and Hall to name just a few. For some period of time in the 1930's Silver Springs was called Howard's Camp . These Photos are titled "Howard's Camp" and dated 1930 on the back. It is recognizable as the later named Henry Mead's Silver Springs Campground. Today (2019) you will find it as an un-named building about a half mile east of the Harts Location Town Line. The building shown here was destroyed by fire and re-built. The once famed Sawyer's Rock is just around the corner on the left. It has been mostly blasted away to widen the road. Historic Lodging Map Hotels Lodging Page 1 Continue to page 2 Continue to page 3 Forest HowardsHenrys Glendenning Glendennings Cabins were owned and operated by Ray Glendenning in the 1930's. Each of the ten cabins was just large enough for a bed and a burea. They were located just east of the Bartlett Town Ball Field. There are just two of these buildings still standing, one of which was recently repaired and resided. The Pines is today's Bartlett Inn . This photo is from about 1915. The building dates from about 1885 and was originally the private residence of "Big Jim" Donahue who was also a familiar name in the lumbering operations at Livermore . As Livermore came to an end, by 1925 the Donahue's were catering to tourists and called their Inn The Pines. The Donahue's also operated a store in the Village (Later Mallett's). The Pines also had the only tennis courts in town. During the 1930's the Donahue's were doing so well they added more units, in the form of cottages. In the 1940's the property was purchased and operated by Claire and Paul Birnkammer who remained for thirty years when in 1970 they sold to Barbara Stone , followed by Don and Chere Meegan , followed by Mark Dindorf in 1985. Pines The Gateway Cottages, later The Target, then The Abenaki Motel. These have been connected to be one structure and still exist next door to the Bartlett Village Ball Park (Blackfly Field).These were operational from the 1930's to the 1990s. The main Inn building dates back to 1890 and was operated as The Gateway, by the Sweet family. The cottages were added in the 1930's. In 1961 the property was purchased by Doug Williams and Stuart & Anna Walker, all of Canadian background. In 1963 Mr. Williams became the sole owner. In 1971 he changed the name from Target to Abenaki. The three original cabins were joined with three new units being added, making a six unit motel. There were four cottages behind the main building. The main Inn burned sometime during the 2010's and the "motel" has been unused. Picture Below is The Gateway, 1940's. In 1961 it became The Target and in 1963 was renamed The Abenaki.

Historic Lodging Map Hotels Lodging Page 1 Continue to page 2 Continue to page 3 skyValley Sky Valley Motor Court: In 1945 Alan & Libby Eliason came to Bartlett from Chestertown, Maryland, where Alan operated a professional photographic studio. Alan and Libby intended the cottage business to be a summer only endeavor so he could keep himself busy while he escaped his allergies, ‘hay fever.’ In 1946, Alan and Libby purchased the property from Orin Cook and established Sky Valley Motor Court on the former French Farm about one mile east of Bartlett Village. A brief history of the Sky Valley property. This property was a part of the 1793 farm of Obed Hall , one of Bartlett's first pioneers. A part of it was also known as The Timothy George Farm. In 1898 Ida Hall (a descendant of Obed) sold a part of the property to Edgar Stevens, who at that time was the proprietor of the Cave Mountain House in the Village. In 1921 Edgar Stevens’ heirs (Don and Blanche Hobbs and James and Bertha Cook ) sold the property to Orin A. Cook . Orin operated a farm and an inn known as Maple Dale Cottage. By the 1950's Maple Dale Cottage was operated by Andrew and Anna-Marie Arendt , who came to Bartlett from Germany shortly before the beginning of WW II. Andrew was a meticulous flower and vegetable gardener and the area that is now the parking lot of the Penguin Ski Club was once filled with flowers and shrubs of all varieties. The Arendts are both buried in the Catholic Cemetery just down the street, (see headstone picture below) and Maple Dale Cottage became the Penguin Ski Club in the mid 1960's. Another 88 acre section of Obed Hall's Farm, later known as the Maybury lot , passed from a John T. Wentworth to Nathan French in 1855. That section remained in the French family until 1908 when it passed on to Lavinia Maybury by will. Lavinia sold the property to Orin Cook in 1918. It's interesting that when the Eliasons were looking for property to buy, they almost purchased the abandoned property then known as the Stilphen Farm , today's Storybook Inn , but the superb mountain vistas from the French farm swayed the decision, even though Stilphen's was a better location. Alan said most of his business decisions were often made for the wrong reasons, but personal preferences usually ruled over business sense. Not a bad credo. Sky Valley first consisted of nine cabins that were popular at the time. By 1955 ten modern motel units were added, along with the first swimming pool in the area. Since there were very few eating establishments in the immediate area at that time, Alan and Libby also built and operated "The Poolside Restaurant " on the property, along with a gift shop added about 1958. Many folks in the Village worked at Sky Valley at one time or another. Lillian Sanborn made all the pastries and desserts for the restaurant, and her daughters, Evelyn and Ellen , along with the daughters of farmer Harry Rogers , (Rogers’ Crossing) and Harry's niece Betty Jackson, were among the housekeepers. Lillian’s son Henry ran what may have been the first trash collection business in Bartlett. Alan’s son, David , remembers the big old truck loading up all the trash, with separate containers for anything suitable to feed the pigs Henry kept. Donna Ward worked at Sky Valley for at least ten years, first tending to Eliason's children and later on the front desk. The "summer only idea" did not last - by 1956. With full backing from their children, Alan and Libby moved the family from Chestertown permanently to Bartlett, although the business did not open for winter guests until the early 1970's. To supplement his income, Alan became a real estate broker first working with Wimpy Thurston , who briefly owned a store in the Village at that time. Alan was later associated with Leland Realty in the development of Tyrol Ski Slopes , and later with Country Squire Realty in North Conway along with Ellsworth Russell, who was a prominent citizen of Eaton. Alan continued to operate the business until 1968 when it was sold to Mr. John Chase . However, by 1971 Alan was once more the owner when Chase defaulted on the mortgage. About this time Alan's son, David, was in college and helped out in the business as time permitted. In 1975 Alan retired from Sky Valley and David agreed to take over the operation full time, with a one year contract. Forty four years later Dave and his siblings sold the property to Little Angels Service Dogs, owned by Kyler and Darlene Drew of Intervale. Dave was one of the longest serving innkeepers in the Mt. Washington Valley! Most hotel/motel operators have enough sense to "move along" after ten or fifteen years...or less. Dave is also your humble Bartlett Historical Society Web site editor. Alan returned to Maryland permanently in 2008, where he died at the same house where he was born in 1921. 1948 front sign on Route 302 These type of cottages were very popular in the 1950's and 1960's. As with all things, their popularity declined in the 1970's and many similar operations were no longer viable. Sky Valley kept up with the times with a series of renovations until the mid 2010's when many businesses could not compete with the influx of chain hotels and condominiums in the area. In 2019 the business was sold to Little Angels Service Dogs operated by Josh Drew with his parents Darlene and Kyler . If you grew up in Bartlett from the mid 1950's through the mid 1980's you probably learned to swim at the Sky Valley Pool with Red Cross Swimming Instructors. Sky Valley operated for about 70 years from the late 1940's until 2019.

The cabins and restaurant building later became A Better Life Cabins although they never used the restaurant building. Their office was in a smallish building in front of the cabins, which doubled as a convenience store. In the 1960's Winston Marcoux operated the store for a year or two.

Working with Dave's Collected History of Bartlett and the Historical Society's New Website. The new site's focus is different than my version (that you are now viewing). Their new site relies on the "Past Perfect" software application for you to search topics . It has good and not so good features. It finds lots of things, often with no relevance to your search. The end result, the pictures and information detail, are often disappointing. It's good at telling you which folder at the museum you can go to for the information but that involves a trip to their museum to see it. It's excellent at finding some basic details about various people but usually with little detail. The new Bartlett Historical Society site has all the basics of "who, what, when and where". It relies heavily on search functions rather than menus and indexes. You type in what you are looking for, and it will usually find something relevant but not at the level of detail you might want. That's a major departure from Dave's method of wrapping the stories around pictures in a book-like arrangement. You will find content at the new site about the museum, the directors and what the next public presentation will be but little in the way of obvious historical articles. The new site copied most of the historic articles and research created and edited by Dave directly from this web site, but they don't present it in the same way. Many of my topics did not get included at all or are difficult to find in their original format. I also noted with some displeasure that all the pictures they took from Dave's collection got defaced with a huge "Bartlett Historical Society" branded on each one . Besides ruining their visual appeal they do not "own" them, so what's the purpose of pretending they do? T hat's all part of why Dave's version is being saved separately under its own headline. You will find both the new site and this site useful in their unique methods of presenting information. This old site tends to be "busier", it has an old-fashioned index, a search function, ample menu choices and items presented as articles rather than tucked into a search box. The new BHS site is perfect if you want basic details about a person i.e. birth, death, etc. However, looking up a specific topic is not always easy. See below. The new site is excellent if you are at the museum, or planning a visit and want to look at the actual physical item. You can find the exact envelope, folder or box where the item is located but often not the details or pictures of it. I tried a couple of random searches at both websites, the first to locate cemeteries in Bartlett. On the left are the top 3 results at this website. On the right are the results at the new BHS website. The results at this website are very specific. The BHS results seem to have nothing to do with the inquiry. This kind of result is often typical of their search results. Often, it returns matches that have no relevance to what was searched. Here's another example, searching for "Thad Thorne". On the left are the top 3 results at this website. On the right are the top three results at the new BHS website. Again, you can see the difference in the two results. Their 3rd result comes to a long text about Attitash, but nothing for the specific articles about Thad Thorne. The results for this website go directly to the relevant article with the corresponding pictures. The BHS search usually goes to a reference for a physical location at their museum, or an article about Attitash Ski Area where his name is mentioned. Since their site is very new, I expect improvements and additions will be made as time passes. Presenting historic content in a meaningful format is a lengthy process. I asked an anonymous website critic to compare the two websites. Here is their opinion: Website Critique: Dave's Collected Bartlett History - and the Historic Societies New Website at BartlettHistory.org These two sites represent an interesting transition period in the Bartlett Historical Society's digital presence. Here's my assessment: bartletthistory.org (New Official Site) Structure & Navigation The new site launched in September 2026 and appears quite minimal. From what I can see: Homepage elements: Mission statement, Board of Directors listing, upcoming events, contact information, social media links Information architecture: Appears to rely on the "Past Perfect" software application for searching topics. Often with marginal results. Visual presentation: Clean, professional layout with modern branding Ease of Finding Historical Information Difficulty level: HIGH Based on the extracted content and secondary sources: The site is essentially a brochure/museum information site rather than a research portal Their new site relies on the 'Past Perfect' software application for you to search topics.

The new official site (.org) prioritizes institutional presentation over content accessibility—a common challenge when organizations upgrade web infrastructure without migrating existing archival content. For serious researchers: Start at .NET, then use .org for current events and official society information. Ideally, the Historical Society should eventually integrate the deep content from the former site into the new platform in a more easily and effectively searchable method. Any Comments ?

History of the West side Road area bartlett, nh Drown Family - Pitmans Arch - Pendexter WestSideRd West Side Road The West Side Road begins in Glen, passes through what is known as Cooks Crossing, past Dick Plusch's "Goat Farm". Then down the hill and around the bend to what was once known as Hilltown. It follows the bank of the Saco River, then past the historic Lady Blanche House and continuing along past the Lucy Farm and on into North Conway.. The "Goat Farm" was owned in the early to mid 1900s by Severo Mallet-Prevost. Calista Allan and her second husband, Tom Allan, took care of the Goat Farm when the Mallet-Prevosts were away (they were summer residents). Upper Bartlett Glen Area Cooks Crossing Goodrich Falls Jericho Intervale Dundee West Side Road Kearsarge 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.

Olive Drown 1909 Mary Abigail and husband, Sam, are buried in the Hilltown Cemetery on West Side Road. Sam's headstone is readable while Mary's is probably one that has faded away. See the details of Lady Blanch at THIS PAGE Blanche The Hilltown area on the West Side Road remains only in memories. There are still one or two cellar holes to be seen and a couple of houses probably of a later vintage. The Hilltown Cemetery is a spot you drive by frequently but difficult to find. It is on the West Side Road, on the right about two miles from the Bartlett end. Look for sharp corner just before the road goes down hill to the river. There's a driveway with a bamboo patch and faint remains of an old house foundation. (Very dangerous driveway to exit...visibility very poor. May be advisable to park somewhere else nearby and walk back to the driveway). We have a few pictures taken at the Hilltown Cemetery a few years ago that can be seen at this link. HILLTOWN CEMETERY We bet you have never heard of the 1936 Hilltown Landslide on West Side Road. Resident Eugene Hill was killed. SLIDE "History Repeats Itself. Slide at Willey House - Crawford Notch, NH". Kearsarge SEE MORE SLIDE PICTURES EASTMAN Recalling the great killer slide of March 1936 Slide killed watchmaker Eugene Hill 73 years ago this month Tom Eastman - March 28, 2009 BARTLETT — Spring floods are nothing new, but the one that hit the North Country in March 1936 wreaked more havoc than usual and ended up killing West Side Road resident Eugene Hill in the area of Bartlett known as Hilltown. Local historian Dan Noel, who has been battling cancer, recently forwarded The Conway Daily Sun a telling of the tragic tale by an eyewitness who traveled to the devastated site after the slide that caused Hill's death the morning of March 12, 1936. He believes the eyewitness account may have been written by the late Buster Parker, of Bartlett. Other information was gleaned by looking at microfilm of the March 12 and March 19 editions of the now defunct Reporter newspaper of North Conway in the Henney History Room of the Conway Public Library, as well as interviewing Brian Hill of Lower Bartlett, nephew of Eugene Hill, a watchmaker who lived alone when the fatal disaster struck. On a gloriously sunny first day of spring on Friday afternoon, March 20, West Side Road resident and town father Chet Lucy took time out from his maple sugaring operation to show a reporter exactly where the slide happened farther north up the road 73 years ago in the Hilltown enclave of Hill family members. “My father [Arthur O. Lucy], was involved in the story, as he was part of the rescue effort,” said the still winter-bearded Lucy, a former Conway selectman whose family Conway roots go back some 250 years. “I was born in 1926, so I was 9 years old at the time, and it was quite a thing.” We drove north past the Lady Blanche House, around a bend in the road, and down to the flat area below Pitman's Arch to a section across from the Saco River and the home of Chuck Kalil the heart of the former Hilltown area. To our left on the west side of the road were two houses, a barn and a trellis at the base of a cliff. “Just like the Willey Slide that you know about [in Crawford Notch in August 1826], the slide came down over there and divided, leaving the Colson house standing where that white house is now,” said Lucy, who, like Noel, is a lover and keeper of local history. The river flooded the road but it was the slide that came into Eugene Hill's house and killed him, according to accounts from that era. “The road used to be lower than it is now. The state built it higher,” said Lucy, wearing his wool green and black plaid spring-chores jacket. The following account of the slide was reported in the Thursday, March 19, 1936 issue of The Reporter, a week after the March 12 disaster: “Though flood damage in northern Carroll County has been light compared with that in other parts of New England, this locality was mentioned in headlines and broadcasts through the tragic death of Eugene Hill and the dramatic rescue of several survivors of the slides at Hilltown, on the West Side Road from North Conway to Bartlett. "Last Thursday morning at about 8 o'clock, slides of snow and ice crashed against the northwest corner of the home of Eugene Hill, ripping out the corner of the house and burying its owner, who lived there alone, under several feet of ice and debris. A similar slide tore out a part of the lower floor of the second house to the north, belonging to Nathan Hill, carrying Mrs. Sarah Seavey, 83, Mr. Hill's housekeeper, across the road and burying her up to the armpits in snow, ice and wreckage.” The Reporter account verified Chet Lucy's recollection that the slide divided around one of the homes, just as the August 1826 slide in Crawford Notch had divided around the Willey homesite in that famous White Mountain disaster: “As freakish as most disasters,” noted the Reporter, “the house between the two, occupied by Webster Colson, was undamaged. Mr. Colson, together with his wife, son and daughter, at once started for Bartlett for help, and reached there after considerable difficulty, due to parts of the road that were submerged. Rescue parties finally started for the scene of the disaster. the first truck was from Main Street Garage, North Conway, and included Henry Thompson, Myron Hanson, Dr. McDonald, a selectman from Bartlett, and others. James Waldron, forestry superintendent of the Saco River CCC Camp at Glen, was in Bartlett at the time, and followed close behind with two trucks and his crew of about 20 boys. The North Conway truck was unable to reach Hilltown, but the two higher CCC trucks, after considerable difficulty, were able to reach the scene of the disaster where they found Mrs. Walker, daughter of Mrs. Seavey, trying to extricate her with a small coal shovel. Seavey was removed from the wreckage and, after receiving temporary treatment from Dr. G. Harold Shedd (of ski bone doctor fame when skiing took hold in the region), and two nurses from Memorial Hospital (Gladys Carter and Doris Haley), she was taken by stretcher and boat to the home of Arthur Lucy, along with Nathan Hill and Mrs. Walker, who were uninjured.” The following day, Sarah Seavey was taken to Memorial Hospital as a precaution. Nathan Hill, meanwhile, 94, was returned to the Lucy's home for two weeks until the waters subsided. Dan Noel, who first brought the tale of the disaster to the Sun's attention, provided a copy of a letter written by an unidentified first-hand witness and participant of the rescue effort. “I came across the letter the other day. I don't recall how I came across it to begin with, but I thought it made for an interesting story that you might want to use,” said Noel, a lifelong collector of White Mountain history and professional photographer whose clients in the past included Yield House and Cranmore Mountain. Arriving at the scene on foot after much difficulty driving on West Side Road in the flood waters, the witness gave the following account: “We immediately went to the residence of Gene Hill where we found the house completely filled with ice clear to the rafters. We all started digging in the ice and we first found the arm of Gene which held the stove poker, evidently had just filled the stove when it happened. We dug the body out of the ice.” The eyewitness went on to say that Hill was a jeweler, and that they found watches strewn across the area. “As each one was tagged,” he wrote, “they were put in a pail and taken to Fred Hanscom, town clerk of Bartlett.” The Reporter added a paragraph or two, adding to the mystery of whatever happened to Eugene Hill's belongings: “Mr. Hill, a watchmaker by trade, had been partially crippled for the past 20 years, and had lived alone since the death of his mother a few years ago. Soon after the disaster, several watches and other articles of jewelry, were recovered from the ruins. Relatives, however, voiced their suspicions that he also had a box containing money and this was finally found on Saturday after considerable search by Harold Hill of Kearsarge and turned over to Bartlett officials for safekeeping.” On their departure, the party encountered Dr. Shedd, Ms. Carter and Ms. Haley. “Both nurses [were] carried across the brook by Walter Lock of Glen, and Dr. Shedd was in the process of being carried across on Walter's back. Walter accidentally stubbed his toe and, both got a ‘Yankee Dunking.' When we arrived back to the Rocky Branch Bridge and crossed it, the bridge dropped into the stream at once [behind the rescuers, Dr. Shedd and nurses Carter and Haley]. The following day the road was [plowed] out by the Bartlett town tractor.” Meanwhile, according to Henry Hatch, who was another rescuer, “Arthur Lucy took Ellsworth Russell and Cedric Colbath with him from Conway Supply Co. R.F. Harmon was also in the party who went to Hill Town [sic] and I believe were the ones or part of the crew that dug Mr. Hill out of the debris. I believe they took Eugene Hill out by canoe to the road at Lady Blanche House and then by various means, got to Conway and back by East Side Road to Furber Funeral Home.” The funeral home was operated by Arthur Furber, and was located behind what most recently was D.J.'s Bedding and Outlet and which for a number of years served as Brothers II, across from the Up Country . Chester Lucy remembers that part of the tale. He said his father, Arthur O. Lucy, co-founder in 1933 of Conway Supply , and others transported the body by rowboat and then truck to Smith-Allard Farm on the West Side. There, they met Furber, who transported the body across the river on the bridge and to the funeral home. “My father told my mother Irene to call Arthur he didn't have to say his last name [Furber]; she knew who he was talking about and let him know that they were coming by canoe. Arthur didn't catch on exactly what she was talking about at first, so my father said, ‘Just tell him we're coming and to meet us at the railroad bridge!’ Eventually she got Arthur to understand that my father was bringing some cargo ... a body!” said Lucy this week. Nathan Hill, meanwhile, couldn't go back to his home during the high waters, so he spent two weeks with the Lucy family in their home, a house that was lost to fire in 1942. “In Conway Village,” wrote Janet Hounsell in her book, “Conway, New Hampshire 1785-1997,” “The main damage was loss of water. Friday and Saturday [after the Thursday flood] there was no mail in or out, and residents of Oak Street left home for higher ground. Thursday night, houses near the Saco River Bridge were evacuated. Cellars were flooded and Thursday the water pipes where they cross the Swift River ruptured, so the village was without water except for rainwater.” Hounsell added further information on Arthur Lucy's role. “When Arthur Lucy, of the Conway Supply Co., learned there'd been an avalanche at Humphrey's Ledge, he took three millworkers and started off to help with the rescue work. By auto, boat and snowshoes the crew reached the spot. They worked until the body of the victim was located. Lucy brought the remains by boat and toboggan to Conway.” The Reporter's March 19, 1936 account said that due to the high rains, "The East Branch Bridge in Intervale (today's Route 16A in the days before what is today's Route 16 was built) was menaced by high water, the West Side Road was impassable and the flood caused a washout in a fill near the Lady Blanche House and in spite of temporary repairs, it subsequently washed out completely. "The Lady Blanche house is isolated. There is now no means of getting to Bartlett. The village of Conway is now practically surrounded by water, and various low spots are flooded, including the athletic field and the ground in front of the B&M station." Another flood hit the following week just as The Reporter was going to press on March 19, 1936 proving that spring and floods are constant companions in the valley of the Saco. Photo Below on West Side Road near Hilltown HILL Eugene SEE MORE SLIDE PICTURES ARCH Pitman's arch on west side road OCTOBER 1885: A cavern has been accidentally discovered in Humphrey’s ledge a few miles from North Conway, which is attracting much attention. It has an entrance 20 feet wide and 12 feet high, and is located in what has been heretofore considered an almost inaccessible section. The cutting off of a heavy timber growth resulted in the finding of it. Those who have examined it say that in wildness and picturesqueness it is far superior to the celebrated cave at “Cathedral” ledge in the immediate vicinity. The cavern has been named “Pitman’s Arch,” in honor of Lycurgus Pitman of North Conway. Lycurgus Pitman (1848-1908) — of Conway, Carroll County, N.H. Born in Bartlett, Carroll County, N.H., April 9, 1848. Republican. Member of New Hampshire state senate 2nd District, 1887-88; alternate delegate to Republican National Convention from New Hampshire, 1904. Died in Carroll County, N.H., November 11, 1908 (age 60 years, 216 days). Relatives: Son of George Winthrop Maston Pitman and Emeline (Chubbuck) Pitman (1822-1889); brother of William Pitman (1855-1940); married to Lizzie I. Merrill (1852-1891); nephew of Joseph Pitman (1823-1908); grandson of Joseph Pitman (1788-1875). Political family: Pitman family of New Hampshire. About 1890 Lycurgis undertook the building of a road to the area above the arch at great expense to himself. The road was extremely steep and its exact location is unknown as of this writing. More information about the Pitman family in Intervale can be found at this link. This 1909 picture shows a foot bridge that crossed the Saco River in the vicinity of Humphry's Ledge on the West Side Road. It was a popular short-cut for folks staying at the Hotels in Intervale for access to Cathedral Ledge, Echo Lake and Pitman's Arch.

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 Cave Mountain House The Howard Hotel The Bartlett Hotel CaveMtHouse First Hotel on This Site: The Cave Mountain House 1892 to 1905 - 13 years Historic Lodging Map THE CAVE MOUNTAIN HOUSE: 1890 - 1905 was originally the summer home of one of the Jose brothers, owners of Bartlett Land and Lumber Company. The Hotel was purchased by Edgar Stevens in 1892. His 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 which started in the kitchen and a defective chimney aided in the ensuing inferno. The insured loss amounted to $10,875. This editor has found no information about what Mr Stevens did for the next nine years before his death in June 1914 at age 70. His grave is at the Fish Street Cemetery in North Fryeburg, Maine. The site remained empty until 1912 when the Howard Hotel was built on the same site. EDGAR AUGUSTUS STEVENS, proprietor of the Cave Mountain House at Bartlett, was born December 16, 1844, in Shelburne, N. H. . Edgar A. Stevens obtained his education in the common schools of Shelburne, after which he assisted his father on the farm until after the breaking out of the Civil War. Enlisting in 1863 in Company A, Eleventh Maine Volunteer Infantry, which was subsequently a part of the Twenty-fourth Army Corps, he participated in the battle of Ball's Bluff, the engagement at Hatcher's Run, where he was wounded in the foot, and at the siege of Richmond. He was honorably discharged from the service in 1866 as Orderly Sergeant. During the next three years Mr. Stevens was employed in a saw-mill at Berlin, N.H., and was later fireman for two years on the Grand Trunk Railroad. position on the Portland & Ogdensburg Rail Accepting in 1871 a similar road, he was employed as fireman until 1873, when he was promoted to the position of engineer, which he retained for twenty-one years. Coming to Bartlett in 1892, he purchased the Cave Mountain House, a small hotel containing but twelve rooms. This he has enlarged to a house of thirty-four rooms, with good accommodations for fifty guests, and has further improved it by putting in steam heat and electric lights. A pleasant host, attentive and accommodating, he has won an excellent patronage, many people of note visiting the house each summer, among whom may be mentioned Edward Everett Hale and family, the Rev. Mr. White, of Brookline, Mass., the Rev. Mr. Fay, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and numerous others. Mr. Stevens was a member of Ossola Lodge, I. O. O. F., in which he has held all the chairs; of Grant Post, No. 91, G. A. R., of Glen, which he has served as Commander; and of the Masonic order, in Fraternally, in which he has taken the thirty-second degree. In 1873, Mr. Stevens married Abbie T. Lewis, of Conway, and they had two children, namely: Bertha May, born November 12, 1879, who is a student in Wellesley College; and Blanche Louise , born May 1881, a graduate of Brewster Academy, who is now fitting herself for the profession of a music teacher.

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. The Howard enjoyed a long successful life and by the 1930's the rates started at $5.00 per day and $25.00 per week. These rates put it on a par with most of the other first class hotels in the area. See the original 1912 sales brochure for the Howard Hotel Below In December 1947 The hotel was purchased by Matt Elliot and Reland T. Hart and renamed the Bartlett Hotel. Matt operated the Hotel until his death in 1985. Considering Matt was there for 38 years there is scant information about him. In 1985 the Hotel was purchased by the Arthur and Chip Yannone of Brockton Massachusetts. They began a renovation of the hotel but 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.

Howard on Nov. 17, 1949, at his home after a brief illness, Bartlett has lost one of its outstanding citizens. Born in Hartford, Vt., in 1864, he was graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1886 and always kept up his interests in the activities of the college. In 1887 he married Nellie Bailey of Landgrove, Vt ., and two years later he moved to Bartlett. From that time until his retirement in 1946 he was active in business, conducting a general store. In 1912 he built the Howard Hotel, which is now known as Bartlett Hotel. Mr. Howard held many town offices, having served as selectman and as a member of the school board. He was instrumental in forming the Bartlett Water Precinct of which he was treasurer for 51 years. Always interested in the welfare of the town, one of his last acts was to give a plot of land opposite the hotel for a public park. For many years he was active in Osceola Lodge, I. O. O. F., and was recently awarded his 50 year pin. His counsel and guidance will be missed by the many people who always found him a friend in time of need. Funeral services were held on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Bartlett Congregational Church.- The Reporter, Thursday, November 24, 1949 -pg 1 oconnell gk howard The Howard Sales Brochure Opening July 1, 1912 brochure The Howard - Circa 1930's The Bartlett Hotel 1947 to 1989 - 42 Years The Howard Hotel was purchased by Matt Elliott and Realand Hart in 1947. They renamed it the Bartlett Hotel. Unlike Mr Stevens of the Cave Mountain House and GK Howard of the Howard Hotel, this editor has found scant biographical or personal information about Elliott or Hart. Mr Elliott had a son, Edward M. Elliott, "Bert" who was born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1957. His mother was Lottie Rounds Elliott and it seems she lived in Lynn, Ma. while Bert spent most of his younger years in Bartlett with his Dad, graduating from Kennett High School in 1976. Bert died of cancer in 2023 at Lynn, Ma. Mr. Hart eventually sold his share to Mr. Elliott but this editor has yet to find the details of that transaction nor what Mr Hart did subsequently.

Schools In Bartlett. Back in the "old days" the students were not brought to the school...the school was brought to the student. In 1897 Bartlett had six schools so most students were within a couple of miles of "their" school. Pictured is Jean Garland who was the School Librarian for 55 years, 1953 to 2008. Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 Share afghan The society commissioned an afghan blanket that featured the historic Bartlett Schoolhouses, pictured below. Six of the schoolhouse images on this afghan no longer exist, two still exist but as other than schools, and the center medallion represents the current school. From town report for the fiscal year ending February 27, 1897, No. 1 - Lower Bartlett; No. 2 - Glen; No. 3 - Garland Ridge No. 4 - Kearsarge; No. 5 - Hill Town; No. 6 - Goodrich Falls We assume that each of the district school houses was of the one-room variety in 1897. Four of the one-room school houses in these districts are depicted on the afghan (pic below): Lower Bartlett, Glen, Garland Ridge and Goodrich Falls. No. 1 - Lower Bartlett - The Intervale (Lower Bartlett) School, the only one-room school still in existence, is now a private residence. It is located on Route 16A in the Intervale area of Bartlett. That school was replaced with the Intervale Grammar School, built in 1938. This school educated the children of Intervale, Glen and Goodrich Falls until its closing in the late 1950s. That building, located in the lower left corner of the afghan (pic. below), still exists and now houses the Bartlett Town Hall and Town Offices. No. 2 - Glen - The Glen School was located on Route 302 approximately halfway between the Massa Schussers Ski Club and Jericho Road. It appears on the afghan thanks to Vivian Robinson Eastman and Isabelle Dana Crouse, who described the building as they recalled it when they attended school there. No. 3 - Garland Ridge - The Garland Ridge School was located along Stony Brook, which is located between the Attitash Ski Area and Roger’s Crossing, (the railroad crossing east of Bartlett Village). Thanks to Jean Garland, who provided us with an old photograph from the Library files, we were able to sketch a likeness of that one-room school house for the afghan. This school operated from 1987 until, perhaps, the 1920's. Old 19th-century municipal documents do preserve a few specific names. During the peak operational years of the Garland Ridge School (District No. 3) in the late 1800s, recorded local teachers included: Armenia Perkins Lydia Pendexter Clara Pendexter It's difficult to determine if one of these names matches the teacher pictured below: Click the image to magnify for a better look. No. 4 - Kearsarge - The Kearsarge School was located on what is now known as Hurricane Mountain Road, approximately half way between Mt. Surprise Road and Timberline Road. In the late 1800s the building is said to have been moved across the street into Conway, and Bartlett paid Conway tuition for the Kearsarge children to attend school there. This arrangement was continued until the 1930s. A time-worn photograph of this school is located in the history files at the Bartlett Library. Our picture is to the right.--> No. 5 - Hill Town - The Hill Town District is located on West Side Road, approximately two miles east of the Route 302/West Side Road intersection. (more info HILL TOWN ). All that remains of that settlement is an old graveyard and the evidence of a few of the homes. The descendants of Brian Hill and Priscilla Drown Ward, early settlers of that area, still live in Bartlett. According to the 1897 report, $15.00 was expended to move the old school and $331.96 for labor and materials was expended to build a new school in the Hill District. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a photo of either of these buildings for the 2008 afghan. No. 6 - Goodrich Falls - The Goodrich Falls School was located on old Route 16 just south of the home formerly owned by the McGraw family. We now have a pretty good idea of school days at Goodrich Falls, thanks to Marion Morton Randall, quite possibly the last known person, now living, to attend that school. Special District No. 5 - Bartlett Village - Bartlett Village Grammar School (located in the upper right-hand corner of the afghan) was built circa 1880, renovated in 1896 and burned in February 1931. The building was replaced with another in 1932. That building, titled Bartlett Grammar/High School is located in the upper right corner on the afghan. Bartlett High School was built circa 1922-23 , and is located in the upper left corner of the afghan and called Bartlett High/Grammar School. It served in that capacity until circa 1949, when it became the grammar school. The high school moved into the grammar school building and was located there until its closing in 1958.

Schools Page 1 Schools Page 2 In the early years education did not rank very high in the priorities settlers assigned to surviving life in the wilderness. The general consensus was that there was not money, time or manpower to educate children. When Josiah Bartlett became Governor in 1805 he encouraged the State Legislature to enact School Districting, which essentially forced all of the State's communities to provide for the education of its populace. The State provided some funding for each district based on which ones needed it most, but the funding was never sufficient to cover all the costs. In the case of Bartlett, with its six districts, the voters were constantly arguing over how to divide up the funds. Raising tax money for schools was always a very difficult task and the tax collector had his work cut out for him to persuade folks to actually pay the taxes. In 1812 the town residents vetoed a proposal to raise $25 for wood to heat the school buildings and instead, each scholar would furnish his proportional share of the wood by his own labor for the ensuing winter. Most students had to travel a long distance to get to the schools and the method of transportation was entirely up to their own devices. In one case a "school-bus" was designed that consisted of a hollowed out pine log, painted blue. about twelve small children could be huddled into it and it was towed by horses or oxen. Even by 1860 the Carroll County Commissioners characterized most of the school buildings as miserable shanties or shabby huts. The endurance of these early settlers is emphasized by todays standards where a student is not expected to walk much further than the end of his own driveway and if heat cannot be provided then the school is closed. If a student were asked to bring his own fuel to heat the school there would certainly be an uprising!

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

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

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

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

Josiah Bartlett Biography Josiah Bartlett (1729–1795) was an American physician and statesman who, as a delegate to the Continental Congress for New Hampshire, signed the Declaration of Independence. He was later Chief Justice of New Hampshire's Supreme Court and Governor of the state. Personal life Josiah was born in on November 21, 1729 to Stephen and Hannah (Webster) Bartlett in Amesbury, Massachusetts. He was their fifth child and fourth son. He attended the common schools, but with uncommon success. By the age of sixteen, by study, he had also built a foundation in Latin and learned some Greek. In 1745 he began the study of medicine, working in the office of Dr. Ordway of Amesbury. Before he turned twenty-one, in 1750, he moved to Kingston, New Hampshire in Rockingham County, hung out his shingle and began his practice. Kingston at that time was a frontier settlement of only a few hundred families. If a man could stitch wounds, set bones, and treat fevers, he was welcome, even without formal educational credentials. Dr. Bartlett could, and as the only Doctor in this part of the county, his practice prospered. He purchased land and added a farm to his credit. On January 15, 1754 he married Mary Bartlett of Newton, New Hampshire. She was his cousin, the daughter of his uncle, Joseph. They would remain a devoted couple until her death in July 14, 1789. Over the years they would have eleven children: Mary (1754), Lois (1756), Miriam (1758), Rhoda (1760), Hannah (who died as an infant, 1762), Levi (1753), Josiah (1765, died that same year), Josiah (1768), Ezra (1770), Sarah (1773), Hannah (1776, also died as an infant). All three of his sons, and five of his grandsons would follow him as physicians. Political career Like many prominent men in small communities, Bartlett became active in the political affairs of Kingston, and in 1765 he was elected to the colonial assembly. In 1767 he became the colonel of his county's militia and Governor John Wentworth appointed him justice of the peace. As the Revolution neared, his Whig policies brought him into opposition with the Royal Governor, John Wentworth. In 1774, Bartlett joined the Assembly's Committee of Correspondence and began his work with the revolutionary leaders of the other 12 colonies. Later that year, when Wentworth dismissed, or prorogued, the Assembly, Josiah was elected to its revolutionary (and illegal) successor, the Provincial Assembly. He also suffered the loss of his home by fire, alleged to have been set by opposition Tories. He moved his family out to the farmhouse and began rebuilding immediately. When the assembly appointed Bartlett and John Pickering as delegates to the Continental Congress, he had to decline because to attend to his family, but remained active in New Hampshire's affairs. In one of Governor Wentworth's last acts before being expelled from New Hampshire in 1775, he revoked Bartlett's commissions as Justice, Militia Colonel, and Assemblyman. Continental Congress Bartlett was selected as a delegate again in 1775, and attended that session as well as the meetings 1776. Indeed, for a time in late 1775 and early 1776 he was the only delegate attending from New Hampshire. Much of the work of the Congress was carried out in Committees. The most important of these had a delegate from each state, which meant that Bartlett served on all of them, including those of Safety, Secrecy, Munitions, Marine, and Civil Government. His attention to detail and hard work in these committees made him one of the most influential members in the Congress, even though he was seldom active in debates before the full congress. Eventually, after his continued letters home to the Assembly and Committee of Safety in New Hampshire, William Whipple and Matthew Thornton were added to the delegation in Philadelphia. When the question of declaring independence from Great Britain was officially brought up in 1776, as a representative of the northernmost colony Bartlett was the first to be asked, and answered in the affirmative. On August 2, 1776 when delegates signed the formal copy of the Declaration of Independence, his position made him the second to sign, just after John Hancock, the president of the Congress. In 1777, he declined a return to the congress, citing fatigue due to earlier efforts. But when trouble threatened, he used his medical skills and accompanied John Stark's forces to the Battle of Bennington in August. He was re-elected to Congress in 1778, and served on the committee that drafted the Articles of Confederation. But, after the articles were adopted, he returned to New Hampshire to attend to personal business. This was the last of his federal service, as he felt he had overlooked his family for too long. Indeed, while he was at the Congress in 1776, his wife Mary had managed the farm, saw to the completion of rebuilding their house, cared for nine children, and given birth to Hannah. Later career Although he remained in the state after 1778, in 1779 he returned to his role as a Judge, serving in the Court of common ples. Then in 1782 he was appointed to the New Hampshire Supreme Court in spite of not being a lawyer. Indeed, some contemporary lawyers held the view that justice was never better than when the senior judges knew little legal history. In 1788 Bartlett was made the Chief Justice of the state's supreme court. That same year he was a delegate to the New Hampshire convention for adoption of the Constitution, serving part of the time as is Chairman. He argued forcefully for ratification, which finally took place on June 21, 1788. The legislature of the new State of New Hampshire, selected him to be a U. S. Senator, but he declined the office. Josiah Bartlett House: 156 Main Street, Kingston, New Hampshire, 03848 (Across from Kingston Town Hall) Access: This is a private home and not open to the public. Recognition: National Historic Landmark As Governor In 1790 Josiah's lifetime of contribution received its highest recognitions. He secured legislation recognizing the New Hampshire Medical Society. He was also elected chief executive of New Hampshire by an overwhelming majority. He served in 1791 and 1792 as President. Then when the new State Constitution took effect in 1792 he continued, now as governor. He resigned in 1794 after four years because of declining health, he died the next year. During his tenure, he oversaw the installation of a new state constitution, compilation of the laws and statutes in force, and provision for the early payment of the State's debt. He actively promoted agriculture and manufacturing, the improvement of roads, and saw the start of projects to build canals to better unite the people. Medical career Bartlett actively practiced medicine for 45 years. From a modern perspective, this alone would be a major accomplishment. He had no university training, and left school at the age of fourteen. In effect, he apprenticed with another Doctor, and set up a practice at the age twenty. But, he was willing to consider what worked, and avoided some traditional therapies such as bleeding. His reputation was firmly secured in 1754. The area around Kingston had an epidemic of a fever and canker simply called throat distemper around 1735. For adults it was a serious illness, but for children it was frequently fatal, especially among the very young. When the illness struck again in 1754, Dr. Bartlett simply tried doses of several available drugs, and discovered that Peruvian Bark would relieve symptoms long enough to allow recovery. Bartlett lived during a time when medical practice was progressing rapidly. His wide reading, steady hands, and conscientious work made him an effective and successful physician. He founded and was the first president of the New Hampshire Medical Society. In 1790 he delivered the commencement address at Dartmouth College when his son Ezra graduated. In part, the honor was due to his signing of the Declaration of Independence, and his new selection as President of New Hampshire. But, in part, it was a recognition of his medical career. He was awarded an honorary MD (Doctor of Medicine) the same day his son earned that degree. Later life He retired to his home in Kingston, and died there on May 19, 1795. He is buried next to his wife Mary in the Plains Cemetery, also at Kingston. A bronze statue of Bartlett stands in the town square of Amesburry, Massachusetts. His portrait hangs in the State House in Concord, New Hampshire, drawn from an original by Jonathan Trumbull. Bartlett, New Hampshire is named in his honor, and The Josiah Bartlett elementary school is a visible presence on its major roadway. The fictional President of The West Wing, a popular television drama series, is named "Josiah Bartlet". Despite the spelling difference, the character (played by Martin Sheen) claims to be a direct descendant of a New Hampshire signer of the Declaration of Independence. SOURCE MATERIAL: http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Bartlett_Josiah.html painting BartHouse museum Statue MaryB Mary Bartlett - Biography Mary "The wife of Governor Bartlett, the signer, was Mary Bartlett (a cousin), of Newton, N. H., A lady of excellent character and an ornament to society. She died in 1789," wrote Levi Bartlett, a descendant of the signer, nearly a century after her death. Not much more of her youth than this can be told. Her father, Joseph Bartlett, was a soldier at Haverhill, in 1707, where he was made captive by the French and Indians, carried to Canada and held four years.* Mary Bartlett was one of ten children born to Joseph Bartlett, and she was married to her cousin, Josiah Bartlett, in January, 1754. He was a rising young physician at the time, in the town of Kingston, N. H ., and had already attracted favorable attention by reason of his success in the treatment of a throat distemper, known as the "black canker," which had broken out with uncommon virulence. Mary Bartlett was then twenty-four years old, an amiable girl, well grown and, for the times, well educated. For the next ten years, her life was that of the wife of a popular and prosperous young country doctor. His skill as a practitioner was accepted. He was democratic, kindly, and fast growing in the esteem of his fellow citizens. Always a man of strict integrity, sound judgment, and marked public spirit, he early began to take an active part in public affairs. He was made a civil magistrate and soon after given command of a regiment of militia. In 1765, he was chosen representative to the Provincial Legislature from Kingston. Though Governor Wentworth had appointed him to several positions of honor and profit, Dr. Bartlett felt called upon, almost from the first, to oppose vigorously some of the Governor's measures in the Legislature especially those pertaining to the land grants, a vast system of official peculation that was one of the great evils of the administrations of both the Wentworths. By 1774, the aggressions of the Governor, and the policy of the British Ministry which he was trying to carry out, had grown so burdensome to the people that Dr. Bartlett and a few other leaders found themselves in almost open opposition. He was still a member of the Legislature and in that year we find him at the head of a "Committee of Correspondence," which was in constant communication with Samuel Adams and other patriots of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Then Dr. Bartlett was elected delegate to "a general congress to be held in Philadelphia." This brought down upon him the wrath of Governor Wentworth and his Tory adherents. His appointment as Justice of the Peace was revoked and his commission as Colonel of militia was taken from him. Soon afterward his house was set on fire and burned to the ground, after he had received warning to cease his "pernicious activity . During all this period, Mary Bartlett had been the closest friend and counselor of her husband. Just as he had consulted her over his troubles as a young physician, helping to bear the home burdens of his patients and personal friends in their little community, so now he consulted her about the greater troubles and dangers that menaced the country. And always she was the true helpmeet, always the ready and sympathetic friend and judicious adviser. Her patriotism was as ardent as his and burned with as steady a flame, and when their home lay in ruins and the family were driven to seek shelter and safety elsewhere, she took their numerous brood and retired to their little farm, which she managed thereafter, leaving him free to devote himself almost entirely to the public business. Between these public duties Dr. Bartlett found time to rebuild, on the site of his ruined home, a fine old-style New England mansion, that still stands. In all her letters to her husband and her children, there is not one word of regret at his course or pity for herself, left alone to bear the double duties incumbent upon her; no complaints, only a spirit of loving, helpful sympathy in all his acts. Mrs. Bartlett died in their new house in Kingston, in July, 1789, and her death was a great blow to her husband, who was at the time Chief Justice. The following year he was chosen President of New Hampshire, which office he held until 1793, when he was elected Governor, the first the Commonwealth ever had as an independent State. He declined re-election and died shortly afterward in the sixty-sixth year of his age, broken down, according to his own declaration, by grief and the double duties and responsibilities imposed upon him since her death. Twelve children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett, of whom eight came to maturity. Three sons, Levi, Joseph, and Ezra, followed in their father's footsteps and became eminent physicians, and all three of them took considerable interest in public affairs, holding not a few positions of honor and responsibility. Of the daughters, Mary, who married Jonathan Greeley, Miriam, who married Joseph Calef, Rhoda, who married Reuben True, and Sarah, who married Dr. Amos Gale, were the only ones to leave descendants.

SOURCE: Colonial hall . com * [From page 149] In 1707, Joseph Bartlett was drafted and sent with others to Haverhill to defend the town against an expected attack of French and Indians from Canada. August 29, 1708, about 160 French and 50 Indians attacked the town and set fire to several buildings. Mr. Bartlett and others were in a chamber of Captain Wainright's house from the windows of which they fired upon the enemy. They were informed that their only safety was in surrender. Mr. Bartlett secreted his gun in the chimney above the fireplace, went down, asked for quarter, was bound, and carried to Canada where he remained a prisoner until he was redeemed. After a captivity of four years he returned. He afterward visited Haverhill and found his gun where he had secreted it. It finally came to his grand nephew, Richard Bartlett of Amesbury, Mass., who carried it while a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Richard brought the gun back with him from the Revolution and it was afterward blown to pieces by some boy celebrating Fourth of July. Levi Bartlett (author of this sketch) collected the fragments in I879, and riveted, and wired the gun together and deposited it in the rooms of the New Hampshire Historical Society where it may still he seen."

Historic Hotels Bartlett NH Back to page 1 Back to page 2 Lodgings in and Near the village area page 3 Share The Upper Bartlett Lodging section began its journey in the center of Bartlett Village and previous pages covered the lodging establishments westward to Silver Springs Tavern, then eastwards as far as Coles Cabins This section begins at Sweet's Farm and works it's way eastward to the Attitash area. In my haste, some of the establishments in this area including Obed Hall's farm, Sky Valley, and The Maple Dale, were covered on the previous two pages in this lodging section. Upper Village Area Intervale Area Glen Area Historic Lodging Map SweetsFarm Website editors note: As I continue working on this web site I have noticed that in the 1930's practically every establishment had gasoline pumps. In fact, between North Conway and the entrance to Crawford Notch there was a gas station just about every mile or two....and I have seen pictures of at least six active gas stations in Bartlett Village alone during the 1930's-40's. As late as 1970 the Village area had at least 5 operating gas and service stations. Now there are none. It also seems that practically everyone with a spare room was in the lodging business as well... Sweet's Farm Inn was located where the present day Skidaddlers Ski Club is now. It was owned and operated by George and Annie Sweet, who also operated the Gateway, about a mile west of Sweet's Farm, from 1890 until 1930. In 1918 George died of the flu and his Irish widow Annie continued to run the place with the help of her new husband, Luther Fernald. The Inn had 8 bedrooms in the main building and another 12 in the annex across the street. It also had an 8 car garage. One source says the Inn burned to the ground in 1938, but I remember an operating Inn being on that site well into the 1950's and Annie's daughter, Mary, lived in the annex for many years during the 1950's and 60's. I remember her because she drove a car with "LOVEY" on the license plate. As a young teenager I use to mow her grass occaisionally. About a half mile further east was Hellen Hayes Elmcrest Inn which operated until the early 1940's. It was later occupied by Carroll and Ellen (Sanborn) Hayes in the late 1950's. It still stands today across the street from the Villager Motel. Just up the street on the right Dot Stewart operated a small restaurant for a few years in the early 60's. It later became "Big Jim's Foot-Long Hot Dog Stand ". That building is now a part of the Villager Motel. In the 1800 - 1960 era nearly all the lands between The Elmcrest and Attitash were open farmlands. In fact, up to about 1960 there were few trees in either direction between Elmcrest and the Upper Village and all the way east to Roger's Crossing. This area had at least five good sized barns, all gone now. Elmcrest Inn BigJims Just past Attitash on the left was the Smith Hurst and later the Bell Hurst, and up to the early seventies it was the home of the Scarecrow Restaurant , which is now located in Intervale. For a time in the 1960's the building operated a Sauna and Health club , but apparently that concept was not ready for prime-time back then since it only lasted a year or two. If you search through the Eastern Slope Signal newspapers in the index of this web site you will find a picture of several boys frollicking in the snow after heating up in the steam room. The building burned in the 1980's and was replaced with the apartment building that is there today. The property was once owned by the Laughlin Family whose son died while climbing the ledges on Mt Stanton behind the house. Tragically Mrs Laughlin was watching from the back porch when he took his fatal plunge. The backside of the postcard dated 1938 is shown to the right. Much earlier William White's Tavern was in this general location, probably another half-mile further east. William White's Farm in 1814 consisted of about 65 acres in the vicinity of todays Fields of Attitash. William White was also a sucsessor to Obed Hall in his Bartlett Village Establishment. I have been unable to find any information about his establishment located at his farm, if in fact there ever was one.
