1000.0.132Letter from Carrie Richardson about Rev. Charles Harwood 1897
  • Document, Correspondence, Letter
Letter, handwritten, from Carrie Richardson to the Editor of "The Enterprise", 6 May 1897, asking him to insert a memorial tribute to Rev. Charles Elliot Harwood in his paper for free. The letter contains her copy of the tribute to be inserted, written by Rev. Joseph R. Norwood of Northeast Harbor. The last 1/3 of the tribute (probably one page of the letter) is missing. However, it appears to be the same text as item 133. (See scan in 2000>photos>Hazel Brooke Peterson.)

  • Document, Correspondence, Letter
  • People
  • Places, Island
Memories of Duck and Bakers Island circa 1891. Gifted by Hugh Dwelley in Summer 2007. The bulk of the document is a copy of a letter to the Ellsworth American written by Rufus George Frederick Candage. The letter was written in 1891, but in the letter he is reminiscing about a two-week vacation to the Duck and Bakers Island in 1841. He writes about a barn, cattle, vegetables, hay, butter, cheese, eggs, fowls on Great Duck, and sheep on Little Duck. At that time the family of John Bartlett was living on Duck Island, although the Duck Islands were claimed by Mr. Gilley. Candage also remembers a trip to see the Bakers Island lighthouse. The letter is preceded by an excerpt from the book "The Descendants of James Candage/Cavendish of Blue Hill, Maine" and some notes on the Bartlett family and the letter made by Ralph W. Stanley. The document also includes a letter from Hugh Dwelley as President of the Islesford Historical Society to Mr. Gil Bunker in reference to a visit that the Bunker Family Association of America planned to make to the Cranberry Islands.
