Source: White Mountains National Forest. In 1831, Thomas Russell in the then Burton, NH (which would later become Albany) acquired five 100 acre lots for a total of $5.25. One lot was numbered 13 in the Fourth Range of the North Division of the town. On lot 13, Thomas, assisted by his second son, Amzi (pronounced aim-zee), built the frame structure that stands today. In 1832, Thomas and his wife, Ruth, sold lot 13 and the house to Amzi. On December 3, 1834, Amzi Russell married Eliza Morse George, after which they moved to the house. Eliza and Amzi raised five daughters here; one of who was Ruth Priscilla Russell. The family subsided on the meager garden crops they were able to grow, supplemented by wild game as well as fruits of the field, forest, and stream. They received a moderate income from a sawmill and from a store that they ran in their home at one time. During the years from 1834 through 1877, Amzi acquired thousands of acres of virgin timberland. He was certain that the railroad would eventually come into the valley and transport his prized timber to the mills in Conway and Bartlett. The logging railroads did eventually arrive, unfortunately too late in 1877, Amzi Russell died, leaving a mortgage and unpaid taxes on approximately 8,700 acres, all but the home lot of 100 acres and an additional 192 acres in three separate lots were sold to meet the family’s financial obligations. In 1887, Eliza Russell deeded the property to her daughter, Ruth Priscilla, and Ruth’s husband, Thomas Alden Colbath, who continued to farm the land and care for the aging Eliza. In the late 1880s, the population of the valley had grown. There were 20 or more farms, two schoolhouses, and a small hotel. During the summer, many visitors came to enjoy the clean air and the relaxing surroundings. In 1890, the first Passaconaway Post Office was set up in the house and Ruth Priscilla Colbath became the first postmistress. She held the position until 1906 or 1907. One day in 1891, Thomas Colbath left the house, saying he would be back “in a little while.” Ruth never saw him again. She remained in the house where she had been born, eking out a meager living. It is told that she placed a light in her window each night, expecting Thomas to return. On November 15, 1930. Mrs. Colbath died at the age of 80, still believing that her husband would eventually return. Three years later, Thomas Alden Colbath did indeed return to the deserted house and heard the story about his wife, now deceased, and a light that shone each night for 39 years in the darkness of the Passaconaway Valley. Thomas indicated that he had no quarrel with his wife. He had remained in the area for at least a year after which he began wandering farther and farther away. After a time, he said that he was too ashamed to return to his wife and home. What prompted his return? It is anyone’s guess. Thomas discovered upon his arrival that he had no home, as the estate of his wife had been settled the previous year. The proceeds from the sale of the land and home had been divided among Mrs. Colbath’s closet known living relatives; four cousins. Thomas remained for a short time before he once again wandered away. Buried in the village cemetery, just east of the house, are Thomas and Ruth Russell, Amzi and Eliza Russell, and Ruth Priscilla Colbath, in addition to other family members. Ruth Priscilla’s grave is the sole family member’s stone to be marked. It is situated where, in death, she can continue to view her home and the mountains she loved so dearly in life. New owners, who used the place as a summer residence, renovated the house in 1935. The barn and shed were torn down at that time. In 1848, extensive repairs were made to preserve the aging house. It is fortunate that the owners did little to change the original setting as was feasible and is open to the public as a historic site. For more information, cal One fall afternoon in 1891, 41-year-old Thomas Colbath left the farm to run some errands. He told his wife, “I’ll be back in a little while,” and headed down the road. When it started to get dark, Ruth lit an oil lamp and put it in the window to help him find his way in. But Thomas Colbath didn’t return that night, or the next day. Friends searched the roads for him in vain. Did he get lost? Mauled by a bear? Suffer a heart attack? Robbed and murdered? Perhaps he had some dementia event and lost his memory? Or had he simply walked out on his wife? Ruth never saw him again. She remained alone in the house where she was born, eking out a living, waiting for her husband to return. Ruth lit the oil lamp in the window every night for the next 39 years, hoping for Thomas to find his way home. 83-year-old Thomas Colbath back home again after 39 years of “running errands.” Courtesy White Mountain National Forest Visitor Information Services Ruth died in 1930 at the age of 80. Three years after she died, 83-year-old Thomas returned. He offered conflicting explanations for why he had left and where he had been the previous 42 years. Thomas indicated that he had no quarrel with his wife. He had remained in the area for about a year, and then began wandering farther away. Some versions of the story suggest he made his way to Cuba and then on to Panama, where he worked digging the Panama Canal. Other versions have him in California or out west building railroads. After being gone for a while, Thomas was too embarrassed and ashamed to return to his wife and home. What inspired his eventual return is unknown. Perhaps he wanted to face his sins and ask forgiveness before he died. But that didn’t happen. Thomas was told by neighbors that his wife had died, and the home had been sold. Ruth’s estate had been settled, and the proceeds from the sale divided among her cousins. Ruth was buried in a small cemetery within sight of the house she was born in and had never ventured far from. Thomas wandered away and was never seen again. When my tour of the homestead completed, I resumed on my way running errands, only now with the story of Ruth and Thomas Colbath on my mind. His concept of “be back in a little while” was very different from mine when I said something similar this morning … and I don’t think my wife will keep the porch light on for the next 39 years either. Recognizing the historical significance of the Russell-Colbath homestead, the U.S. Forest Service purchased the property in 1961, preserving the house and running a museum there ever since. In 1987, the Russell-Colbath House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Ownership/Regulatory Status The Goodrich Falls hydroelectric project (the “Goodrich Falls project”) presently (as of 2015) owned and operated by the Goodrich Falls Hydroelectric Corporation, a New Hampshire corporation formed in 1977 for the sole purpose of owning and operating the Goodrich Falls project. The history of development, ownership and operation of the Goodrich Falls project is described below. (Owner in 2024 is "Clark's Bears" of Lincoln) The Goodrich Falls project was constructed in the early 1900’s by Edwin Moody, the owner and operator of the Black Mountain Ski Area and Phil Robertson of the local electric department in Jackson, NH. To attract skiers to Black Mountain, which at that time was known as Moody’s. Edwin Moody and local inventor, George Morton , constructed one of the first ski lifts in NH. The Goodrich Falls project was constructed in concert with the lift in order to provide daytime power for the lift and nighttime power for the skiers staying in Moody’s lodge. Ownership of the project was transferred to the Goodrich Falls Hydroelectric Corporation in 1977 and was operated as an unlicensed facility until its application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for an exemption under Part I of the Federal Power Act. On January 8, 2001, the Goodrich Falls Hydroelectric Corporation (“GFHC”), filed an application to exempt the existing, unlicensed, 550-kilowatt Goodrich Falls project from the licensing requirements set forth under Section 408 of the Energy Security Act and Part I of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The project is located on the Ellis River, in the town of Bartlett , Carroll County, New Hampshire. On March 14, 2002, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) issued an Order Granting Exemption from Licensing (the “Exemption”) for a project 5MW or less, to GFHC for the continued operation of the Goodrich Falls project, FERC Project No. 11870 (see Appendix 1-1). Included in the exemption were additional measures to protect, mitigate adverse impacts to, and enhance project-related environmental resources. Construction of the Goodrich Falls project was completed in 1935 when first power was generated. The project has operated successfully since initial power was generated in 1935. This editor has been informed that the plant is still producing electricity in 2025 and is now owned by the same folks who own "Clark's Bears" (Formerly "Clark's Trading Post") in Lincoln.

With the advent of the internet it was made relatively easy to explore various historic topics. Since my memory was not always functional I learned how to create my own website to save the things I found. This was in the early days and many of my acquaintances assured me that "this whole internet thing is just a passing fad and you're wasting your time". Seems they were wrong. This entire website is the result of saving various things I have found over many years and putting them on the relevant pages I have created here. Sometime in the early 2000's the Bartlett Historic Society asked me if I could help create their website. I replied that it was already half done...and here I am in 2025 and still not finished, but since I haven't been fired, all must be OK. Inspiration gained at White Mountain Arts & Artists.

Wavy hair or piercing looks, they are faces of men in their youth during a time of war. From training on the slopes of Colorado to the battle with the Germans on Italy’s Riva Ridge, the photos are of the men of the 10th Mountain Division and the names are linked to skiing in the valley and beyond. Name s like Herbert Schneider, Thad Thorne, Nathan Morrell, Robert Morrell and Brad Boynton are among those that fill the pages of “Tales of the 10th: The Mountain Troops and American Skiing” ($20, New England Ski Museum) It is written by North Conway’s Jeffrey Leich, executive director of the New England Ski Museum. “Hundreds of 10th veterans are influential in the ski business,” said Leich. “These guys were influential as well as hundreds of others.” The book is a glimpse into World War II and the evolution of the 10th, how it attracted some of the best skiers of the time, how they trained in Camp Hale, how they fought and the impact these men had on postwar skiing and mountaineering. Packed with photos and a bundle of stories, the book also provides a look into the history of war and skiing, from the a pair of Birkenbeiners skiing a two-year old Norwegian king Hakon Hakonsson to safety in 1205 to the ingenious Finns who battled the Russians in the Russian-Finnish War. The Schneider name is synonymous with Mount Washington Valley skiing. Hannes Schneider, who’s likeness is captured in a Cranmore statue, was a World War I mountain trooper. Son, Herbert, who sports a mustache, crossed arms and a huge smile in one photo, was given a Bronze star for his participation in combat during World War II. After the war, he returned to North Conway, eventually running Cranmore’s Hannes Schneider Ski School and becoming part owner. Thad Thorne was a platoon sergeant and spent much of the war in Luzon and then Japan. He spent more time in the Army, including a stint in the Korean War. In time, he served seven years as Wildcat’s first ski patrol director and then moved on to the development of Attitash, working his way along the ladder as operations manager, general manager and president. As a ski consultant, he aided in the plans for Loon and Wilderness in Dixville Notch. Peter Limmer served with distinction, at Roosevelt Field in Amarillo, TX and Maxwell Field in Cortland, AL, and attained the rank of Staff Sergeant and crew chief of 6 B-29’s in the Strategic Air Command. Pete's brother, Francis Limmer served with the famous 10th Mountain Division. After training at Camp Hale, CO, he saw action in the mountains of northern Italy as a Lieutenant, and was present at the Battle of Riva Ridge. Both men joined their father’s famous boot making business upon returning home in 1946. They were avid outdoorsmen and very involved in their local community, and stewarded the family trade through the early 1990’s. A shot of Brad Boynton in Tuckerman Ravine graces the book’s pages. Before the war, Boynton was a ski instructor in Jackson, along with future 10th Division members like Bob Morrell and Arthur Ducette. Boynton was one of the founding members of the Jackson Ski Touring Foundation. Bob Morrell started up Storyland in the late 1950’s while Nate Morrell continued to be active with the 10th after the war, serving for many years as chairman of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division. In one photo, the photographer is photographed. A lone skier schusses down the south slope of Homestake Peak in Colorado. The skier is Winston Pote, a U.S. Army Signal Corps photographer. He went on capture much of the New England skiing landscape, Tuckerman Ravine in particular, in his pictures. Bob Monahan, who chose the training site at Camp Hale in Colorado, later went on to found the Mount Washington Observatory. “One of the things that changed American skiing about the 10th was they took all these eastern skiers and put them in the Colorado Rockies in Camp Hale,” Leich said. “After the war, one could make a case, that without that the development of skiing in Colorado could have been slower.” Looking ahead, a number of 10th veterans are expected for the Schneider Cup at Cranmore March 12 and 13. Leich is planning to orchestrate a book signing with them. Also, research is underway for a spring exhibit at the New England Ski Museum focusing on the Civilian Conservation Corps and its trails. Seventy-five years ago the CCC began cutting trails and ski areas sprung up around many like Cannon and the Taft Trail, the Tecumseh Trail at Waterville Valley and Wildcat’s Wildcat.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Crawford Notch The Notch Discovery: In 1771 a Lancaster hunter, Timothy Nash, discovered what is now called Crawford Notch, while tracking a moose over Cherry Mountain. He noticed a gap in the distant mountains to the south and realized it was probably the route through the mountains mentioned in Native American lore. Packed with provisions, he worked his way through the notch and on to Portsmouth to tell Governor John Wentworth of his discovery. Doubtful a road could be built through the mountains, the governor made him a deal. If Nash could get a horse through from Lancaster he would grant him a large parcel of land at the head of the notch, with the condition he build a road to it from the east. Nash and his friend Benjamin Sawyer managed to trek through the notch with a very mellow farm horse, that at times, they were required to lower over boulders with ropes. The deal with the governor was kept and the road, at first not much more than a trail, was opened in 1775. Settlement: The Crawford family, the first permanent settlers in the area, exerted such a great influence on the development of the notch that the Great Notch came to be called Crawford Notch. In 1790 Abel Crawford, his wife Hannah (Rosebrook) and their growing family settled on the land granted to Sawyer and Nash, at what is now Fabyans in Bretton Woods. Two years later Eleazer Rosebrook, Hannah's father, and his family moved to Abel's homestead, who in turn, settled 12 miles away at the head of the notch in Hart's Location, for more "elbow room". Both families operated inns for the growing number of travelers through the notch. Abel's inn was the Mount Crawford House. The inn operated by the Rosebrooks' was inherited by Abel's son Ethan Allen . In addition to being established innkeepers, the Crawfords were famous mountain guides that escorted visitors to the top of Mt. Washington. In 1819 Abel and Ethan Allen opened the Crawford Path, the footpath they had blazed to the summit. By 1840 horses could be on the trail. In 1821 Ethan Allen blazed a shorter route up Mt. Washington that is closely followed today by the cog railway. Railroad: Increasing tourism to the White Mountains generated interest in the building of a railroad through Crawford Notch. The construction of the railroad was considered a difficult engineering feat that was thought to be impossible by many. The railroad, built by Anderson Brothers of Maine, was opened in 1857 and ran from Portland, through the notch, to Fabyans, the area where Ethan Allen had operated his inn. Great difficulties and expenses were encountered due to the gain of 1,623 feet in elevation in the 30 miles between North Conway and Fabyans. There is an average rise of 116 feet per mile for the 9 miles between Bemis Station at the south end of the notch and Crawford Depot. Impressive Frankenstein Trestle, originally built of wood, and later replaced by steel, is 80 feet high and 500 feet long, while the Willey Brook Bridge is 100 feet high and 400 feet long. Crawford Notch State Park: Most of the land in Crawford Notch was acquired by the state of New Hampshire in 1913. It was the result of a bill passed by the legislature in 1922 aimed at rescuing the northern region of Hart's Location from excessive timber harvest. The bill failed to include the northern, most scenic part of the notch, which the state purchased in 1912 for $62,000. Almost 6,000 acres are included in the state park. The land extends on both sides of the highway to the summits of the mountains that border the Saco River Valley. In 1922 the Willey House clearing was leased to Donahue and Hamlin of Bartlett who built a cabin colony of peeled spruce logs for vacationers. More log buildings were added including rest rooms, restaurant and gift shop, but eventually the state took back the clearing for its own operations. More Crawford Notch on Page 2 Willey Family: During the fall of 1825 Samuel Willey, Jr. of Bartlett moved into a small house in the heart of Crawford Notch with his wife, five children, and two hired men. The first year the three men enlarged and improved the house which the family operated as an inn to accommodate travelers through the mountains on the desolate notch road. The little cluster of buildings was situated in the shadow of what is now called Mount Willey. In June, following a heavy rain, the Willeys were terrified when they witnessed a great mass of soil and vegetation, torn loose from the mountainside across the river, slide in a path of destruction to the valley floor. As a result, Mr. Willey built a cave-like shelter a short distance above the house to which the family could flee if a slide threatened their side of the valley. During the night of August 28, 1826, after a long drought which had dried the mountain soil to an unusual depth, came one of the most violent and destructive rain storms ever known in the White Mountains. The Saco River rose twenty feet overnight. Livestock was carried off, farms set afloat, and great gorges were cut in the mountains. Two days after the storm, anxious friends and relatives penetrated the debris-strewn valley to learn the fate of the Willey family. They found the house unharmed, but the surrounding fields were covered with debris. Huge boulders, trees, and masses of soil had been swept from Mt. Willey's newly bared slopes. The house had escaped damage because it was apparently situated just below a ledge that divided the major slide into two streams. The split caused the slide to pass by the house on both sides leaving it untouched. Inside, beds appeared to have been left hurriedly, a Bible lay on the table, and the dog howled mournfully. Mr. and Mrs. Willey, two children, and both hired men were found nearby, crushed in the wreckage of the slide. The bodies were buried near the house and later moved to Conway. Three children were never found. The true story of the tragedy will never be known. Poets and writers have conjectured many possibilities. Perhaps the family, awakened by a threatening rumble, fled from the house to their cave, and were caught in one stream of the slide. It seems more likely the Willeys started to climb the slope of the mountain to escape the rising floods and were caught in the landslide. Whatever the circumstances of the tragedy, it has endowed this part of the White Mountains with a legend enhanced by the awesome crags which rise guardians over the site of the former Willey home. Following the tragedy, an addition was built onto the house which was operated as an inn until it burned in 1898.

Able Crawford Portrait The "Notch House" in Crawford Notch was built by Ethan Allen Crawford and his father, Abel Crawford, in 1828. It was located west of Elephant's Head at the Gate of the Notch. The Willey House By John H. Spaulding 1862 The first goods brought up the Notch was a barrel of rum, which was given to Captain Rosebrook, by a merchant of Portland, on condition he would get it up through, the Notch. The captain made record, that after crossing the Saco river twenty-two times, with a horse and two poles, and several men, he succeeded in getting as much of the rum up as was not used in the enterprise. First produce carried down through the Notch was a barrel of tobacco, raised in Lancaster, by one Titus O. Brown. Thus, we see, rum and tobacco ranked here, where, among many good people of olden times, they were considered absolutely necessary, as first. But, thanks be to reformers, may the day not be far distant when an intemperate use of either shall be looked upon by the public, under the influence of moral persuasion, as an evil to be ranked in the same light with the follies of witchcraft! FIRST HOUSE IN THE NOTCH. The Willey House is the oldest building erected in the Notch. This was built in the year 1793, by a Mr. Davis, to accommodate the unfortunate storm-bound traveller, who, from curiosity, or on business, might dare the dangers of this wild pass. Then a little grassy meadow stretched along the bank of the Saco; tall rock-maples, and a towering mountain barrier, rose in the background from this little home of the pilgrim. How like a cool shadow of a great rock was this retreat among the frowning crags ! But the thundering avalanche came, and, since August 28th, 1826, the spirit of desolation has brooded over that fated spot. How lonely there is the dirge of the high wind, as it sweeps down that solitary chasm; and the wail of the sunset breeze, with the loud requiem of the on-rushing hurricane, is most mournful, for human bones are there palled in an avalanche's ruins.'

Ruth was born in Auburn, Maine to Millard and Carlene Learn. She graduated from Gorham State Teachers College with a Bachelor of Science in Education. After teaching for three years, she met her husband, Edmund A. "Sonny" Pettengill. They raised six active children in Sonny's hometown of Bartlett. There were broken arms, broken legs, band, chorus, measles, mumps, ski team, baseball and always rides needed to somewhere. Ruth enjoyed her family. A special pleasure was relaxing at the family camp in Lovell. Other favorite activities included camping, deep sea fishing and touring. There were many adventures: attending Expo 67 Montreal World's Fair, canoeing the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, and a journey to Telegraph Creek, B.C. to visit the grave of a mysterious great uncle who died looking for gold. She was an active member of the Bartlett community. The Bartlett Elementary School and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary were her favorites. Ruth always participated in the Auxiliary's Christmas toy party for Bartlett children. During her term as Auxiliary President, she coordinated numerous patriotic events, helped the School Band obtain uniforms and organized an elementary school baton troupe that marched in many parades. Ruth volunteered for the American Cancer Society, helping those in need of transportation. Years ago that always meant many trips to Portland. Ruth also delivered Meals on Wheels. She was generous with her time, sharing it willingly with those needing companionship. She jumped into home based business, selling Tupperware and Avon (great reasons to have a party). She wore 10 individual colors of nail polish before it was fashionable to be different. As a post-retirement job, Sonny drove tractor-trailer from Denver to NY. Always adventurous, Ruth (in her mid-sixties) made many cross country journeys with him. She loved the West, the Denver Stock Show, Greek festivals, Spanish lessons and much more. In her late sixties, she was certified as an ombudsman, protecting the rights of senior citizens who could no longer care for themselves. Unfortunately, Ruth experienced serious health problems and returned to NH permanently. Sonny couldn't take care of her and she resided at Mineral Springs for many years. Sonny visited her almost every day until his last day. The Mineral Springs staff found Ruth an interesting and entertaining resident. She considered many of them dear friends. The family is very thankful for the compassionate care and love Ruth was given. They are grateful for the compassion they were shown the day she passed.

She grew up in Berlin attending St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. She graduated from Berlin High School with the class of 1967, where she worked in the library. Maxine made many lifelong friends at Berlin High School, including Patty, Bunny, Jackie, Anne, Jeanne and many more, who she really enjoyed reconnecting with at all the class reunions. She was a very accomplished artist and crafter, which included painting, knitting, homemade greeting cards and needlepoint. She spent many years practicing these hobbies, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Maxine married David L. Patch of Glen, N.H., on Dec. 22, 1968, while he was serving in the Air Force and lived in Idaho and Michigan with him during his stateside tours of duty. While living in Idaho, she gave birth to their son, David A. Patch, only seven weeks before her husband left for a tour in Southeast Asia. When her husband was discharged from the service, they came home on March 28, 1972, after four and a half years. They lived in Intervale, N.H., for 10 years, and Maxine worked at the Intervale Post Office with Bud Smith from Conway, and also became the Bartlett Town Treasurer for more than 20 years. In 1980, they bought a home on Jericho Road, and she lived there for the rest of her life. Maxine was a “Little League Mom” and often hauled half the team to games in her big brown station wagon, and bought ice cream after the games (even on losing nights). She overcame her fear of heights in order to go skiing with her family, and enjoyed canoeing with family and friends on the Saco River. She was an excellent shot with a rifle, and even won a turkey shoot, which included beating her husband. She ate turkey that Thanksgiving, and David ate crow. While still living in Intervale, they bought White Mountain Auto Supply in North Conway, the local NAPA Auto Parts store. Maxine became the accounts payable bookkeeper, payroll officer, and assistant tax preparer to Harold Oulton, the store’s longtime accountant. She worked as a bookkeeper at Hill’s Department Store in Manchester, when David was stationed in Biloxi, Miss., and the experience served her well at the NAPA store. Maxine married into a large family, which included brothers, in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins. She was always willing to host family gatherings such as birthday parties, anniversaries, and just getting together for weekends. She always had a full house, and was usually the one behind the camera, and this was a big reason that ensured the Patch Family stayed close through the years. Maxine was a member of the Christ Episcopal Church for many years and was extremely fond of her church family. She served on many committees and also worked in the thrift store. Maxine was a loyal friend and a very loving wife and mother, and she was always willing to help out someone in need. Her friendly attitude and warm smile will light her way in the next life, but those who knew her will miss the sunshine and love that she created here in this world, for everyone whose life she touched. Maxine was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Grace Anderson; brothers Edward G. Anderson and Francis Phair; her sisters, Helen (Anderson) Rivard and Arlene (Anderson) Shreenan; and her niece Raylene Shreenan. She is survived by her husband, David L. Patch; her son David A.

She was born Jan. 25, 1941 in Lynn Mass. to the late Niqe and Tasi Kureta. She graduated from Lynn Classical High School in 1958. She was a secretary in Lynn until 1969 and would later recall her fondness for this work, most notably at Lynn 5 Five Cent Savings Bank and the General Electric Company. After a year with the U.S. Foreign Service in Tokyo, Helen married Kenneth R. Ware in Lynn on Oct. 25, 1970. They traveled throughout the United States, living in several states along the way; Helen particularly liked time spent in Gig Harbor, Wash., Steamboat Springs, Colo, and New York City. They settled in New Hampshire in the early 1970s. For the next few decades, Helen enjoyed living in Bartlett, where she devoted time to school and community projects. In recent years, Helen loved to volunteer as a dining room server at the Gibson Center in North Conway. Survivors include daughters Niqe Ware, of Northampton, Mass., and Lindsay Ware, of Keene; brother, Manny Kureta and his wife, Barbara, of Peabody, Mass.; sister, Ruth Dylingowski and her husband, Richard, of Newburyport, Mass.; sister, Lilyan Savory and her husband, Doug, of Lynn, Mass,; and cousin Virginia Rapo and her brother, Vasil Rapo, of Southbridge, Mass.

A memorial service will be held in spring. Marion Lucy Warren, 90, died on Jan. 19, 2015, at Mineral Springs Healthcare facility in North Conway after a brief illness. Her husband, Edmund M. Warren, predeceased her in 1975. She leaves two daughters, Lucy Howland and Helen Goss both of Conway; her granddaughter, Elizabeth Howland, of Seattle, Wash., along with extended family members. Marion was one of six children born to Irene and Arthur Lucy raised on the West Side in North Conway. She had five brothers. Marion was predeceased by her brothers, Fred Lucy, Kenneth Lucy, and Robert Lucy. She is survived by her brothers Chester Lucy and Herbert (Bun) Lucy who still reside on the West Side. She graduated from Plymouth State Teacher's College in 1946. Her closest friends were her college buddies that she shared life's most precious moments with over the years. Marion taught first grade and kindergarten in the valley before kindergarten went into the public schools. She touched many young lives and has students across the country that remain in touch. She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star, Daughters of the American Revolution, and 80 years an active member of the First Church of Christ, Congregational United Church of Christ in North Conway. She supported many local non-profits, especially if they benefited children. She was proud to be a native of the valley and took great pleasure in sharing her family history with all she met. In her memory, the family suggests donations be made to Vaughan Community Service, Inc., P.O. Box 401, North Conway, NH, 03860 to benefit the North Conway Daycare. At Marion's request there will be a private committal service later in the spring. The Furber and White Funeral Home in North Conway is in charge of arrangements. RICHARD A. WARE - BARTLETT — The valley lost a lion on Oct. 29, when Kearsarge resident Richard A. Ware passed away at his Hurricane Mountain Road home. He would have turned 96 this Saturday. Moderator of the Kearsarge Lighting Precinct, former chair of Vaughan Community Service Inc., and a former trustee and past treasurer at the First Church of Christ Congregational of North Conway, Ware brought decades of experience in government and private sector work to his various positions. Longtime caretaker and friend Drew Phillips of Kearsarge said he was with Ware when he died of natural causes last Thursday morning. Phillips was Ware's personal assistant for six years but had known him well for over 40 years. "Richard spent summers here as a kid, and grew up with my wife, Patty's, father, Glen Gray. He and Glen used to play golf at the old Russell Cottages golf course in Kearsarge," said Phillips, who said Ware was at one time a passionate golfer, avid hiker and Appalachian Mountain Club member who long ago completed the 48 New Hampshire 4,000-footers. "Richard was such a wonderful man. He was always ready to give a free hand to those who needed it." Ware, who served under President Richard Nixon as acting assistant secretary of defense and who was later appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the Board of Foreign Scholarships, was married twice and had four children, three of whom survive him. Fellow Kearsarge residents State Rep. Karen Umberger (R-Conway) and husband Jim Umberger, chair of the North Conway Water Precinct, were frequent dinner companions of Ware's. "He will be greatly missed," Jim Umberger said. "The insight he had into things, his knowledge of history, of politics — his intellect was unsurpassed. He had so much life experience, so much of a varied background, you would be mesmerized just talking with him." Karen Umberger, like her husband, a retired Air Force officer, recalled that "at dinner, we would talk about everything, from politics to economics, all policy-based. "We would talk about World War II, about Vietnam; about what was in (David) Shribman's political column in the Daily Sun that day — about so many things." Carl Lindblade, moderator of the First Church of Christ Congregational of North Conway, said: "I think it would be accurate to say Richard was a true Renaissance man. The breadth of his public and private career was amazing. I think it was what made him so incredibly special: from finance, to Scripture, to politics — his knowledge was wide … He was sharp until the end, and to be as sharp for as long as our days are given to us, is a gift." His thoughts were shared by Dan Jones, a local Realtor who serves as church's finance secretary, as well as director of the church's outreach program, Vaughan Community Service, posts that Ware formerly held. "He was kind of the sage of the church," Jones said. "He was like E.F. Hutton: When Richard spoke, everyone listened." Jones said Ware "was extremely well-respected." Karen Umberger and Vaughan Community Service Administrator Denise Leighton both made the point that despite his many accomplishments and ties to the academic and political world, Ware enjoyed talking with people of all ages and backgrounds. "He taught me so much about finance and other matters," Leighton said. "As intelligent and knowledgeable as he was, he never talked above you — he talked with you. I loved that man. He lived a good long life, but it still hurts a bit, knowing that now he is not here." Paul Whetton, one of the Kearsarge Lighting Precinct's three commissioners and a former Conway selectman, said Ware enriched his life. "He was just a good neighbor, and very approachable, with such an intellect," said Whetton, who said when he battled prostate cancer in the 1990s, Ware wrote him a heartfelt note, saying that he, too, had battled the disease. "He told me that 99 percent of the battle in that kind of situation was attitude, and he was right: I focused on his suggestion as I went through it." On the eve of this past Memorial Day, the quiet-spoken Ware was profiled in a cover story in The Conway Daily Sun, reflecting on a career that spanned from World War II to the Defense Department during the Nixon Administration. A few months before that cover story, The Sun also reported on the tiny Kearsarge Lighting Precinct’s annual meeting last March. That session was attended by 17 of the precinct's 31 registered voters. Karen Umberger — who is the precinct's checklist supervisor — praised Ware for his decision to run for another yearlong term as moderator. "I was happy to see you sign up again for another term, Richard," said Umberger."I'm 95 — I'm an optimist," quipped Ware to the small gathering crammed into the confines of the former Kearsarge Post Office. His remark drew a friendly laugh from those present. He then got serious, thanking the cadre of voters for attending the annual meeting, noting that small districts such as Kearsarge's are "the core of our nation's democracy." And in an interview at his Kearsarge home in May, he reiterated that belief. "It's very unique the way people in this valley and in New Hampshire get involved," said Ware, regarding not only the active participation of precinct voters but also of New Hampshire voters in holding the first-in-the-nation presidential primary every four years. "It's not that way everywhere, even in my former home state of Michigan, which has rural areas like here in the northern part of the state. It's great to see." Asked how best to honor Ware's legacy, Karen Umberger said people in the valley would be well-served to emulate his record of community service. "Richard was always a person who was behind the scenes, making things happen but not looking for any credit — not being out front, but making sure that things got done. If all of us were to remember that example, we would be a better community," she said. Funeral services will be held Friday at 11 a.m. in the First Church of Christ Congregational in North Conway with the Rev. Gilman Healy, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in the Kearsarge Cemetery in Kearsarge.

Whittum, 78, formerly of Center Conway, N.H., passed away peacefully in her sleep at her Mountain View Community home in Ossipee, N.H. Rita was the fourth of five children born to Arthur and Marie (Desgroseilliers) Bellerose, on April 9, 1945, in Berlin, N.H., Rita moved to Bartlett, N.H., when she was 6 years old and attended Kennett High School in Conway, which was a place in which many, many lifelong friends were made. She married her husband, Wendell, on Oct. 6, 1962, and together, raised their three children in Bartlett. For 53 years they rode life’s journey side-by-side, until his death on Dec. 11, 2015. Rita always enjoyed being outdoors, whether she was hiking up Cave Mountain in Bartlett, walking along river trails or basking in the sun — no matter what the temperature was! Skiing became a new hobby of hers the day her father came home with a pair of downhill skis he had found. Since they didn’t have the money to ski at a mountain, she found the next best thing right in her own backyard! They had a massive granite boulder, the size of a small bunny hill, and she would climb up with her skis and zoom down, over and over again. Finally, after 40 years, she got her first ski lesson and enjoyed skiing until she was 68. Then there was skating! Every day after school, she would skate. She loved practicing twirls, small jumps, backward foot glides, and crossovers … Oh, how she loved skating! She used to say that maybe in her next life, she would master the triple axel! Drawing was something she enjoyed even before kindergarten. Painting soon followed. Seeing so many beautiful paintings and always admiring the techniques that were used, made her want to paint like the artists she thought so highly of. She saved 5 1/2 books of Green Stamps, and got a case with oil paints, brushes, two 8 by 10 canvases and a paint pallet. Her very first painting on thick white paper was a beautiful night scene of the New York City skyline. She recalled how easily the paint floated onto the paper, and how calming it made her feel as she was painting, often saying that was when her love for painting began. Painting gave her so much joy throughout her life, and she shared paintings with countless friends, family — and a stranger or two along the way! She felt so proud when she displayed her work at TD Bank and had a monthlong display at Conway Public Library. Even in her final days, when her hands were not as steady as they once were, Rita continued to pursue her passion, showing the incredible determination and love for art that defined her life. Rita had many fond memories of attending painting retreats with her other artist friends, especially at Monhegan Island, which held a very special place in her heart. She described how they would stay for a week, choosing cabins with no electricity, collecting wood for the fireplace, visiting by the warm light of the kerosene lamps, and hiking on the cliffs, hoping not to fall! They would take plein air art lessons overlooking the ocean and surrounding islands, and eat the delicious, warm, homemade doughnuts waiting for them at breakfast! Rita loved to involve herself in many areas of work that included being around people. She enjoyed people from all walks of life, and the people in her life were always a priority for her. Some of the jobs that held treasured memories for her included volunteering at a preschool, being a 4-H leader, being a Cub Scout leader, starting the bakery at Grant’s Supermarket, working at Mallett’s Store, working at the Littleton Stamp and Coin Co., and traveling to Winston- Salem, N.C., to open a retail store. However, her most precious and cherished memories were those spent with her loving family. Rita is survived by her daughter, Pamela Dethlefs, and her husband David (of Center Conway), her son, Bill Whittum and his wife, Lauren (Conway, N.H.), her son, Jamie Whittum and his wife, Kate (Freedom, N.H.), her grandson, Corey Whittum (Bartlett), her granddaughter, Sarah Whittum (Conway), her great-granddaughter, Avery Whittum, and her great-grandson, Gavin Whittum, and their mom, Rachel Waterhouse (Littleton, N.H.). She also leaves behind her sister, Mary Jane Daugherty (Massachusetts), and brother Steven Bellerose (Virginia), and many wonderful nieces and nephews, and numerous friends whom she considered family. She loved all of them dearly … and they all loved her just as much! Rita was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Wendell, brother, Roland Bellerose (Alabama) and nephew Remo Bellerose (Alabama), and most recently, her beloved sister, Mary Ann Leavitt (Ossipee, N.H.), whom she enjoyed playing Scrabble with for countless hours. Rita’s family is deeply grateful and thankful to the Mountain View Community Nursing Home in Ossipee, and the Merriman House in North Conway, N.H. There, she was surrounded by wonderful, kind, professional people, who cared for her in ways she could not care for herself, and did so with compassion for her well-being. Finally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Charlie and Colton at Furber & White Funeral Home, for assisting us with grace and professionalism. A celebration of Rita’s life will be on Sunday, Nov. 12, at Tin Mountain Conservation Center, 1245 Bald Hill Road, Conway, N.H., from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. We invite friends and family to bring with them a cherished memory or meaningful story to share. We encourage those who were fortunate enough to receive one of Rita’s paintings to bring it, so we can all enjoy the enduring legacy of her creativity and generosity.= Kenneth C. Wyman of Bartlett passed away on Friday, Dec. 27, 2024, at his daughter’s home in Kennebunk. Born Feb. 1,1939, in Lynn, Mass., the son of Kenneth and Doris (Brittain) Wyman.

Ann graduated from Kennett High School in 1970 and shortly after, married the love of her life, Ron Young; they were married for 54 wonderful years! She devoted her life to God, put everyone before herself, loved exploring with her grandchildren and spending time outdoors planting and watering her flowers, and watching the birds and squirrels with her husband. She was well-known for her love of butterflies, delicious meals, and she could bring anything to life with her extraordinary green thumb. Ann was playful by nature and always arrived (late) with food, games and toys to bring fun and excitement to her family and friends. Preceded in death by her parents; brother, Tuck Russell ; and sister, Ruth Ainsworth ; she is survived by her husband, Ron Young; son, Jason Young (Katie); daughter, Josie Dillion (Matthew); grandchildren, Laura Warren, Andrew Warren, Hayleigh Young, Jake Young, Addison Young and Megan Dillion; sister, Susan Roberts (Jeff); as well as numerous nieces, nephews and their families.

BARTLETT HISTORIC SOCIETY PO Box 514 - 13 School St. Bartlett, NH 03812 2 Bartlett Village Railroad Station And yard More Railroad Pages - Menu Top Right... This page was researched and written by Scotty Mallett The first Bartlett Railroad station was built in the fall of 1872 and passenger trains started running to Bartlett on October 20, 1873. The first station was built next to Mill Brook and was 3 stories in height. This station was lost along with the freight house in the town fire of 1896. (See Side Bar) The first Bartlett Village Station circa 1873 Photo Credit Bill Gove The second station was built in 1896 after the town fire. It was a large 3 storied building and was so well liked and constructed it was mentioned in the State of New Hampshire Railroad commissioner’s Report. The station had a ticket office, a telegrapher’s office, a western union office, a waiting Room, a Restaurant, A large station platform with a canopy to protect the passengers from the elements, oak walls with gold inlay, marble wash basins and hardwood floors. There are conflicting dates of when this station burned but Maine Central Railroad records say it burned in 1920. T he third station was built that same year (1920). The reason for the speedy rebuild of the 3rd and final Bartlett station is because Maine Central used elements of the second station for the new 3rd station. This station used the reclaimed 1st floor the second and 3rd floor were removed. It retained the marble wash basins, the telegraphers, Western Union and ticket offices, the hardwood floors, the waiting room and the oak walls with gold inlay. The Bartlett Station, on the right, early 1950's. Big building at left was the Honeywell Thermostat Factory and before that G.K Howard's Hardware Merchandise store. (Mt Carrigain under the signal pole) Photo Credit: Dane Malcolm. In 1958 the Maine Central Railroad abolished passenger service. The Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad and then the Maine Central Railroad ran passenger service from 1873-1958. The Bartlett Station was sold to a ski club in 1959. In October 1959 the ski club were doing renovations to the inside of the building, stirring up coal dust left from years of coal being used to heat the building. A new oil furnace was installed to keep the station warm in the coming winter months. Later that day after everyone had left, the new furnace clicked on igniting the coal dust left in the air. The station, now a private building was never rebuilt. Today people at a glance see the beautiful Hodgkin’s Memorial Park. The outline of the east end of the granite cellar wall can be found. The soil is reclaiming the spot and eventually there will be no trace of the station, only memories. This photo dated 1908 sIDE bAR THE TOWN FIRE 1896: Concord Evening Monitor 1893 (1896)? Fire Sunday Destroys Entire Business District in Bartlett Total damage will approximate $100,000 At 5 o’clock a fire was discovered at rear of H. L. Towle’s grocery store and as there was no fire department in the village, it spread with lightening like rapidity. Word was telegraphed to North Conway for aid and at 7 o’clock a special train left for the scene. The ten mile run was made in a little over ten minutes. When the special arrived the business portion of the town was in ashes. The most strenuous efforts of the town’s people, assisted by the willing guests of the hotels availed to nothing. Within 2-½ hours but one store was left in the place. Fourteen families had been burned out and the Maine Central Railway Station, restaurant, and freight depot, together with the post office were destroyed.The total damage will be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Following are the principal losses: -Maine Central Railway about $10,000, insured -Mr. & Mrs. Foster, general store, buildings, stock $25,000, insured for $7,500 -P.J. Martin, general store, $15,000, insured $9,000 -F. Garland, drugs and jewelry, $2,500, insurance $1,500 -E.O. Garland, building, contents, $15,000 insured $7,000 -J. Emery, house and furnishings, $3,000 insured $1,500 -J. Head house $1,500 -H.E. Brooks (?) grocery store, $2,500 insured $1,000 -H.L. Towle’s building, $3,000, insured $1,000 -A.L. Meserve building and stock, $6,000 insured $2,800 -Miss Emily A. Merserve tenement block, $2000, insured $1,500 -Miss Bates, millinery $500 The town has an ordinary population of 2,000 but this is swelled in summer to three or four times this number. It is situated in the White Mountain Division of the Maine Central Railroad and the ride over this road from North Conway through Bartlett to the Crawford Notch is one of the finest in the eastern part of the country. -From the history files at the Bartlett Public Library The Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad was chartered on February 11, 1867 to run from Portland to Fabyan, a junction at Carroll, New Hampshire in the White Mountains, where the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad would continue west. Their track joined in a ceremony at the summit of Crawford Notch on August 7, 1875, then opened on August 16, 1875.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , The George Family of Bartlett Village I'm just getting started on this section and already I'm beginning with a Question? I have seen reference to the Timothy George Farm in various places and I believe it was located in the area of the present day Villager Motel. I am wondering how (if) Timothy was related to Franklin George of the Village. He, and his family are buried at the west end of the Garland Ridge Cemetery, close by to all the other Georges', but not in the same plot. Timothy W. George was born in 1800 and died Feb 1869. His wife, Lavina, born 1806 and died in June of 1870. Timothy Jr died at 24 years of age in Jan 1869 and a Daughter, Sarah, died Nov of 1863 at 26 years of age. How did the father and son come to die just a month apart; and Lavina just a year and a half later. I'd guess they succombed to the Asiatic Flu that swept the world about that time, although there were many other incurable contagions that were much more common. How did Timothy come to own the farm and who inherited the farm after their deaths? That's alot of questions for a 155 year old event. Beginnings in Passaconway SOURCE: PASSACONAWAY IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS William James Sidis Published in 1916 http://www.sidis.net/PassContents.htm During the year 1800, Austin George, with a large family (fourteen children) drove up from Conway to the Passaconway intervale and built a large barn of hewed and split white pine from top to bottom. No labor was wasted, for the timber grew upon the very ground which the settler wished to clear. The men chose rift trees, split the boards, shingles and planks and smoothed them with an adze. A log-house was built and finished in the same way. One or two neighbors came with this family, but made no preparations for permanent settlement, and, after two or three years, went back to Conway. Mr. George's oldest son brought his bride from Conway to live with the family. Doubtless owing to the hardship of pioneer life, sickness came to the family. A daughter, nineteen years of age, died of consumption. The nearest neighbors were ten miles way. The poor mother was forced to make all the funeral preparations with her own hands. Friends arrived later and the customary burial rites were observed. The father, Austin George, was a scholar and a great reader. He taught his children geography, grammar, arithmetic and history, and in later years some of these frontier children became among the best school teachers In the country. So cold was the climate that corn and wheat were out of the question; in fact, the only vegetables they could raise were those which frost could not kill, such as cabbages, turnips, onions, and potatoes. Although the soil is unusually fertile and free from stones, so very short is the season between frosts (for ice often forms here in July and August) that only the fast growing vegetables and those that can survive the frosts can be relied upon. The girls and boys reaped abundant crops of hay, while the father cultivated the garden. The mother, by hand, wove the clothes for the numerous members. The entire family had to turn to and toil from daylight to dark in order to eke out their meagre existence. There were no drones in these early families. Times grew harder and harder in the George home. The cattle died of the "Burton Ail," no remedy at this time being known. A hurricane swept through the very center of the valley, tearing up trees by the roots. Everything in its path, which was a half mile in width, was laid level with the ground. The hurricane crossed the valley from northwest to southeast. In 1814, the family decided to abandon the place. Two sons had left and enlisted in the war against England, one of whom was killed at the Battle of Bridgewater in July, 1814. In October of the same year, the oldest son moved his family away. The now aged father decided to stay long enough to feed his stock the supply of hay on hand, while his family lived on the produce they had raised, as it was impossible to move these supplies through the forest and Mr. George had nothing with which to buy more. Until March, 1815, he remained, when, taking his family, which now consisted of a wife, three sons and three daughters, he moved to Bartlett. Mr. George felt very sad over abandoning his home in the intervale, and, although he lived twenty-four years longer, he never could bring himself to visit the spot again and see the, abandoned home. Thus Mr. George derived no benefit from the years of toil and hardship which he had put in here. For ten years the old George homestead was left to transient hunters, trappers and perhaps bandits. Yet its occupancy by the Georges had proved that, despite Chocorua's curse and the rigorous climate, human beings could exist here. In March, 1824, nine years after Mr. George had left, Mr. Amzi Russell, who had married the granddaughter of Austin George, moved into the old house and the settlement was begun in earnest; and never afterwards, up to the present, although time and again sorely tested, has it been entirely abandoned. The building was in a very dilapidated condition, having been used by rough men from time to time. The beautiful white-pine finishing had been ripped off by these vandals, who used the wood as fuel with which to cook their venison and keep themselves warm. The Russells had every reason to believe that the house had been used as a meeting-place by men who came from different parts of the country and who seemed well acquainted with the place. Evidently it had been a rendezvous for brigands who met here by agreement to divide their plunder or bury their treasure. A horse was discovered in the month of March by some of the Russells who were hunting. The family worked industriously on their farm and existed on what "garden truck" they could raise, which fare was supplemented by a plentiful supply of game. In 1833 the Russell brothers built a mill at the lower end of the intervale. Here they sawed lumber for the valley and made trips to Portland to haul lumber to market. At Portland they could procure supplies for their families. On these trips they would also bring back goods for the traders at Conway, and this helped to pay expenses. They managed to subsist by such activities and by farming. Happily and contentedly they lived, and made what improvements they could in addition to their regular tasks. Austin George had fourteen children, the first three of whom are buried in the Russell Cemetery in the Albany Intervale. Daniel George, a son of the pioneer, had a daughter, Eliza Morse George, who married Amzi Russell, son of Thomas Russell. Mrs. Russell lived to be over ninety years old. She kept a manuscript from which were taken not a few of the facts here recorded. The children of Amzi and Eliza Morse (George) Russell were Martha George Russell, who married Celon Russell Swett; Thirza Russell, who married Andrew J. Lord; Mary Russell, who died young; Ruth Priscilla Russell, who married Thomas Alden Colbath and lives in the historic old George homestead, and who for many years was Postmistress; and Flora Emma Russell, who never married. To Mrs. Colbath the present writer is deeply indebted for access to the Russell Manuscript and for letters supplementing the account given in said manuscript. Mrs. Colbath, as her acquaintances can testify, is a woman of superior intellectual ability and moral excellence, and scores of people, in many states, take pride in calling her their friend. The reason for writing so particularly about the George family is that not only have very reliable records been kept of the hardships endured, which hardships were typical of those necessarily endured by all the early families, but because Mr. George's long stay laid the foundation for a permanent settlement in the Albany Intervale. James Sidas has written extensively on the Albany area and the above material is a snippet from that. You can read the entire manuscript and see all the pictures at this link: http://www.sidis.net/PassContents.htm Feb 2013: This link seems to have disappeared but was originally somewhere in this extensive website of Mr. Sidis: http://www.sidis.net Let me know if you can find it.....thanks. According to former U.S. Forest Service Guide Ann Croto of Bartlett, who provided tours at the Russell Colbath house at the Passaconaway Historical Site for more than a dozen seasons. In December 1834, Amzi Russell married Eliza Morse George , daughter of Daniel George and granddaughter of Austin George, who was one of the first settlers in Burton (Albany) Intervale. In 1805, Croto said, Austin George built a large barn of hewed and split white pine and a log house to shelter his wife and child, just east of where the Russell Colbath House now stands. In 1810, their cabin was replaced by a framed dwelling. Repeated harsh frost, however, killed their vegetables, and the cattle died from "Burton's Ail" (later found to be caused by impure water). A hurricane also swept through the valley in 1814, leveling everything in a half-mile-wide path. The George family abandoned the valley and in 1815 moved to neighboring Bartlett. Son Daniel chose Conway as his new home. Thus were the beginnings of the George family in Bartlett. (Eliza and Amzi Russell continued along in what is now the Russell/Colbath House on the Kancamagus Highway, but that's a whole nother story) Source for the above material: http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090809/GJNEWS_01/708099961 Austin's Son, Benjamin Franklin George, decided to stay on at the Bartlett Farm and fathered seven children; three from his first marriage to Charlotte Stanton and four from his second wife, Comfort Tasker. Franklin built his farmhouse in 1856 and its location in the center of town made it an ideal stop-over for travellers (there was no railroad in 1856). Franklin continued making additions to the house and by 1872 It became known as The Bartlett House with accommodations for fifty people. Franklin was a man of astonishing ambition and fortitude. In 1872 he leased the Mount Crawford House from Dr. Bemis who had acquired it from Abel Crawford (and that's another good story too). In addition to his hotels Franklin also acquired large tracts of land, at one time owning all the land from the Saco River to the Albany Town Line. In 1890 Franklin founded the Bartlett Building and Improvement Company (a loan company). In 1877 Franklin laid out a bridle path to the summit of Mount Langdon. As if he did not have enough to do he held the town office of Selectman for six terms , was a delegate to the Constitutuional Convention in 1876 and a State Representative in 1878. He was also the Town Tax Collector for many years. Franklin died at the age of 76. CHAPTER 247. AN ACT TO INCORPORATE THE BARTLETT TRUST AND BANKING COMPANY - 1891. Section 1. That Arthur L.

[Approved April 7, 1891.] Information From Ann Croto The disease from which Burton (Albany) cattle suffered and which was laid to Chocorua's curse, proved to be not imaginary but real. So serious was it that, in 1821, Professor Dana, of Dartmouth College, was sent by the state to the afflicted town to find out if possible the nature of "the Burton Ail." 22 He found the cause to lie in the water, with contained a weak solution of muriate of lime. A remedy was discovered near at hand, however. It was found that a certain kind of meadow mud, when administered in large pills to the cattle, counteracted the disease. Soap-suds acted similarly.23 The town had gained an evil reputation on account of "the Burton Ail," but with the discovery of a remedy, its population and business were stimulated somewhat.

He then found his calling in law enforcement, serving with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department. After graduating from the New Hampshire Police Academy, he began his career as a deputy sheriff, a role he took great pride in. In the mid-1970s, Bob and his family made a new home in Lexington, Ky ., where he embarked on a long and fulfilling career in telecommunications with Bell South (now AT& T) as a Staff Manager Engineer.

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

UNH Magazine Winter 2011 "Mountain Men" ---------------------------------------------------------- (Thad's Brother) Harold "Harry" Wooster Thorne Jr. (1927- 2016) of Oakland, Calif., and South Conway died at home on Nov. 25, 2016, a few hours after Thanksgiving Day. Born in Pasadena, Calif., Harry was the son of Harold Wooster Thorne and Margaret Comstock Thorne. His family moved to New Canaan, Conn., where Harry grew up. He graduated from Middlesex School in Concord, Mass., served in the Army until the end of World War II, and graduated from Yale in 1949. Harry drove from New Hampshire to San Francisco in 1950 and began working for the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co., leaving three years later to begin his career as an insurance broker with Johnson and Higgins. He was head of their international department when he retired in 1988. Harry and Evelyn (Muffy) McKinstry were married in 1952 and lived in Oakland, where their three children were born and raised. Their house of 40 years was destroyed in the 1991 Oakland fire. They rebuilt on the same property and lived there until 2014 when they moved to an apartment on Lake Merritt. Harry enjoyed all aspects of the great outdoors, especially fishing, backpacking, and whitewater canoeing. He and a great friend went steelhead fishing on the Klamath River every fall for three decades. Harry loved playing all sports and was able to play tennis until he was 88. While he relished competition, sportsmanship and giving his opponent a good experience were always his top priorities. Harry and Muffy spent parts of 18 summer vacations bicycling in Europe and the last 30 summers in South Conway, where Harry visited as a young boy and where his parents retired. Harry looked forward to spending holidays and the summer in South Conway with his immediate and extended family. Conway Lake and its preservation were particularly close to his heart. He loved fishing in a canoe alone or with a family member and came to know every rock, and perhaps every fish, along the shoreline near his house. Harry will be remembered for his huge, genuine smile, his respect for all people and his planet, and his absolute devotion to his family, his friends and the loons on Conway Lake. He set an extraordinary example of humility, generosity and civility. Harry is survived by his wife, Muffy; sons, Charles and his wife, Alisa, and Nathan and his wife, Margaret; daughter, Ann Whalen and her husband, Timothy; six grandchildren, Wells, Nathan and his wife, Natalie, Nicholas and his wife, Alexandra, Andrew, Harry, and Ellen Whalen; sisters, Mary Gould and her husband, Kingdon, Lydia Lucy and her husband, Chester; and sister-in-law, Virginia. Harry was predeceased by his brother, Thaddeus Thorne. Harry was devoted to environmental causes, particularly those dedicated to rivers and freshwater. Gifts in his memory may be made to Friends of the Earth, 1101-15th St., NW, Washington, D.C. 20005, Friends of the River,1418 20th Street, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95811 or The Conway Lake Association, P.O.

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

Garland Demolished The Store is the building at left, White building is the IOOF Hall and the Hellen Hayes house Harold & Edith Jacobson. Son, Arthur, died in 2024 This building was originally known as Garland's Store on Albany Avenue. In more recent times it was a grocery store operated by Mr Wimpy Thurston followed by the Gosselins, Joe and Myrtle and their two kids David and Sue. Mr Ryle ran a kindergarten upstairs. Next, and final, operators of this store were Harold and Edith Jacobson and their son Arthur. After the Jacobson's gave up the business the property sat vacant for a time during which a zoning ordinance was enacted that made this area residential. A business no longer permitted, the building sat vacant until the Hodgkins family next door purchased it and due to deterioration the building was razed in October 2003. The vacant land is still owned by the Hodgkins, who live next door. Sorry,, this PDF is a tad faded

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. Jedediah (3), son of Hate Evil and Sarah (Furbush) Hall, married (first). Hannah Hussey, and (second), Elizabeth Clough. His children were: Peter, Joel, Elizabeth, Aaron, Mercy, Moses, Abigail, David, Jonathan, Ann and Dorcas. Jonathan (4), son of Jedediah, married Mary, daughter of Joshua Smith, who was town treasurer of Norway, Maine, for twenty years. Soloman Smith Hall (5), son of Jonathan and Mary (Smith) Hall, was born at Norway, Maine, June 10, 1821, and died at Waterford, Maine, January 8, 1895. 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 Dr Shedd Link Further Reading Jeff Leich - Conway Daily Sun Article - August 2017.

The building to the left is part of the Bartlett High School. 2016 - The idea of transforming to a Museum is explored by the Historical Society Directors and the Community. 2016 - Historical Society Directors look things over and assess the needs. 2016 - The needs are great. The sacristy is where the Eucharist bread and wine are kept when not being used along with clergy vestments and parish records. 2016 - Water damage and mold is a major problem. In 2016 The Historical Society Directors must make a decision. Do we try to renovate this building??? Or do we keep looking for alternatives??? 2017 and 2018: Decision is made to move ahead and the idea is floated in front of the community. We think $450,000 will do it. Let the fund-raising begin. By 2019 enough money had been raised to begin the renovations. Phil Franklin, the BHS President, takes an active role in the work.

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

Jim Miller served as Story Land's marketing coordinator and general manager, working with the park's second generation of family ownership and other longtime cast members to share its history and outlook with guests, staff, community, and the media. He has been a manager, promoter, and student of White Mountains tourism businesses for 25 years. Story Land has continually grown for more than 50 years through economic and cultural changes that undermined many amusement parks. Parents still travel great distances for a Story Land getaway with their children, just as their own parents did, sharing a common experience that is talked about between multiple generations at family gatherings.

Go to the 2010 Book Signing with Jim Miller BobRuth Stone stoney OBIT Stoney Morrell, Heritage New Hampshire owner, dies same day attraction closes By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BARTLETT, N.H. — Stoney Morrell, who ran the White Mountain attractions Story Land and Heritage New Hampshire, has died of cancer. He was 50. Morrell died Sunday, the same day Heritage New Hampshire closed its doors for good. His parents, Ruth and Bob Morrell, opened Story Land in the village of Glen in 1954. The amusement park, which is aimed at younger children and features characters and attractions from nursery rhymes, has drawn tourists from southern New Hampshire and the greater Boston area for half a century. Bob Morrell opened Heritage New Hampshire next door in 1976 to showcase the state's history, but the attraction's attendance had fallen off. Morrell "stepped into very big footsteps after his father died," said Dick Hamilton, former president of White Mountains Attractions, of which Story Land was a founding member. "He continued to work to make Story Land one of the top-rated parks here in New England." Storyland will continue operating with the management team Morrell put in place, Hamilton said. Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, said Morrell continued to improve on the dream he shared with his parents, adding a new attraction to Story Land every year. He also emphasized traditional childhood themes and provided a safe experience, instead of following the trend of slick sets and scary rides, she said. Morell "built Storyland into a premier, stately attraction, having the courage to dismiss the neon, Hollywood and thriller rides that were in vogue," she said. Morrell was born two years after his parents opened Storyland. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1978 and went to Wyoming to try ranching for a while, then rejoined the family business in the early 1980s. After his father died in 1997, he carried on with Bob Morrell's favorite project, the restoration of the Flying Yankee train. The elder Morrell bought the train in 1993 from the Edaville Railroad and sold it to the state for $1. Restoration is continuing at the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln. "Stoney picked up the torch and started running with it," said Paul Giblin, president of the Flying Yankee Restoration Group. "He certainly had a great passion for tourism and thoroughly understood his dad's vision. There is much more to the train than its restoration — they saw it as a way to give people hope and inspire creativity." Morrell was generous to his hometown, donating money to establish the Bartlett Village Park and buying the fire department its first ladder truck in 2004, said Storyland spokesman Jim Miller. He also mentored many people in the White Mountain tourism industry and served on local and state boards. "He did not look for the spotlight. He was a quiet benefactor," Miller said. Morrell is survived by his wife, Foley; his son and daughter; and his sister, Nancy. Funeral arrangements were incomplete Monday. OBITUARY: Robert S. Morrell, at 78; June 23, 1998 Robert S. Morrell, the founder of Storyland, a tourist attraction in Glen, N.H., populated by Cinderella, Humpty Dumpty, and other fantasy figures, died of cancer Friday in his home in Kearsarge, N.H. He was 78. Mr. Morrell was born in Manchester, N.H. As a youth he was a ski instructor at the Eastern Slope Ski School in Jackson, N.H., and Mount Cranmore in Conway, N.H. After studying business administration at Bay Path Institute in Springfield, he served in the Army's 10th Mountain Division during World War II . In 1944, he sold insurance in Manchester, N.H., and in 1948 he opened an ice cream company in North Conway, N.H., but the Korean War halted that enterprise. In 1953, while he was stationed in Baumholder, Germany, he met a German doll maker who fashioned her creations after storybook characters and sold them door-to-door. When she told him her idea of a make-believe village based on the characters, Storyland was born. Mr. Morrell returned home and created Story Land the following summer on Route 16 in Glen with his first wife, the former Ruth Taber , who died in 1990. The attraction drew 15,343 visitors at 85 cents a head in its first year. Over the years, the park offered more than characters such as The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Cinderella, and Humpty Dumpty. A miniature train, flying wooden shoes, and a space ride added to its popularity among children. In 1975, the Morrells created an attraction for older visitors. Heritage New Hampshire featured animated displays, movies, and slides portraying 350 years of state history. The son of a railroad man, Mr. Morrell in 1993 bought the Flying Yankee, the nation's third streamlined passenger train. He eventually sold it to the state of New Hampshire for $1. The nonprofit Flying Yankee Restoration Group Inc. was formed to raise $1 million to restore it and hopes to begin carrying passengers again on July 4, 2000. Mr. Morrell served on several local boards, including the Mount Washington Valley Habitat for Humanity and the Conway School Board. He served as a citizen ambassador to China in 1994 and to South Africa in 1995 as a delegate for People to People International. Storyland is now operated by his son, R. Stoning "Stoney" Jr., who said his father's greatest asset was his curiosity. " He was relentless in his pursuit of things unique," his son said, "whether that meant finding something around the corner or something he saw on the other side of the Earth while traveling. He was a hands-on, in- the-ditch kind of boss who loved the excitement of new challenges." In addition to his son, he leaves his second wife, Miriam Andrews Morrell; a daughter, Nancy Morrell Coan of Stuart, Fla.; three stepdaughters, Carolyn Williams and Sylvia Stephenson of North Andover, and Janet Kibbee of Penacook, N.H.; a brother, Nathan of Watertown, N.Y.; a sister, Marion Morrell Owen of Colebrook, N.H.; and four grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are private. A celebration of his life is being planned FURTHER READING AT THE MOUNTAIN EAR CHRONICLES: The Long Road to Happily-Ever-After July 8, 1977 (SORRY - THE LINK IS GONE) by Jane Golden of the Mountain Ear Staff .

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

In today’s terminology, that would be from about Sawyer’s Rock to the intersection of the Cog Railway Base Statio n Road with Route 302. It cost a little over $35,000 to build and it was functioning by late 1806. The intent of the investors was to build a road ......snip....... The remainder of this excellent article can be found at the website of White Mountain History. This is the LINK. ( the link is working when I posted this...Dec 2024); it opens in a NEW tab. WHEN WAS RTE 302 DESIGNATED ROUTE 18? From 1922 until 1935, much of what is now US 302 was a part of the New England road marking system. Route 18, from Portland, Maine, northwest to Littleton, New Hampshire , roughly 112 miles. From Littleton west to Montpelier in Vermont, US 302 and Route 18 took different paths. NE-18 took a more northerly route, along present-day New Hampshire Route 18 and Vermont Route 18 to St._Johnsbury,_Vermont likely paralleling Interstate_93 then along present-day U.S. Route 2 up to Montpelier. Current US 302 runs along a more southerly route using other former sections of New England Interstate Routes. From Littleton, it went along former Route 10 to Woodsville,_New_Hampshire then along former Route 25 to Montpelier. The entire Maine segment of US 302 was formerly designated State Route 18, a route that was established in 1926 until being deleted in 1935 by US 302. ROOSEVELT TRAIL: The Theodore Roosevelt International Highway was a transcontinental North American highway, from the era of the auto trails, through the United States and Canada that ran from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon. Its length was about 4,060 miles. The eastern end of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway and the part through Bartlett and Crawford Notch was designated US 302 in 1935, and is still known in Maine as the Roosevelt Trail.[3] The highway was designated as a memorial following Theodore Roosevelt's death on January 6, 1919.[1] Michigan completed its section of the highway in the middle of 1926.[2] A 56-mile (90 km) portion of the highway over the Continental Divide through Marias Pass in northwestern Montana was not completed until 1930. Automobiles were carried over the pass in Great Northern Railway cars until the highway was finished.[4] Dedication ceremonies for the full route were held in Montana four months after the completion of the highway. The name fell into disuse after the 1930s with the 1926 designation of the United States Numbered Highway System that replaced much of its routing with numbered highway designations.[2] Road Accident, Jul 1880 A DRUNKEN DRIVER AND A TERRIBLE WAGON ACCIDENT ON MOUNT WASHINGTON. Mountain Wagon Upset and Its Occupants Thrown on to the Rocks---One Lady Killed and Five Wounded . GLEN COVE, N. H., July 11 1880 The first accident by which any passengers were ever injured on the carriage road from Glen house to the summit of Mount Washington occurred this afternoon about a mile below the Half-way House. One of the six-horse mountain wagons, containing a party of nine persons, the last load of the excursionists from Michigan to make the descent of the mountain, was tipped over. One lady was killed and five others were injured.Soon after starting from the summit the passengers discovered that the driver had been drinking while waiting for the party to descend. They left this wagon a short distance from the summit, and walked to the Halfway House, four miles, below, where one of the employees of the carriage road company assured them that there was no bad place below, and that he thought it would be safe for them to resume their seats with the driver who was with them. Soon after passing the Halfway House, in driving around a curve too rapidly, the carriage was tipped over, throwing the occupants into the woods and on the rocks. Mrs. Ira Chichester, of Allegan, Michigan, was instantly killed, and her husband, who was sitting at her side, was slightly bruised. Of the other occupants, Mrs. M. L. Tomsley, of Kalamazoo, Mich., had her left arm broken and received a slight cut on the head; Miss Jessie Barnard, of Kalamazoo, was slightly injured on the head; Miss Ella E. Meller and Mrs. C. Ferguson, of Romeo, Mich., and Miss Emma Lamb, of Howell, Mich., were slightly injured. Miss Emma Blackman, of Kalamazoo, escaped without any injuries. The wounded were brought at once to the Glen House, and received every possible care and attention, there being three physicians in attendance. Lindsey, the driver, was probably fatally injured. He had been on the road for ten years, and was considered one of the safest and most reliable drivers on the mountain. Mrs. Vanderhoot , of Chicago, also received slight internal injuries.
