Brooke "Epp, Ronald" To: CC: 10/18/2004 12:20 Subject: Alice Long, Ron Epp, & Mr. Dorr PM AST Dear Brooke, As you have likely heard, I supplied Alice Long with the names of two dozen residents who have an interest in Mr. Dorr. Alice made contact with them and we expect more than 20 to attend an orientation meeting at park HQ at 10:00 on the 16th of November. I assume that you have been contacted - since we certainly need your involvement--but I don't know what other NPS staffers will be attending. We have been frustrated by being unable to locate Tom Vining. Do you know his whereabouts? Today I chatted with Alice about the character of this meeting. You may be able to help us with one minor issue. Does the park own a presentation easel, preferably a flipchart pad that we could use that morning to document our brainstorming? If so, would you put a hold on it and a couple of colored pens for use that morning? I'd also like to book some time on the morning of November 15th to look at your MDI maps and newer finding aids. 1 Verizon Yahoo! Mail eppster2@verizon.net Page 1 of 3 Verizon Yahoo!

The scope of my book, as indicated in the subtitle on the title page, is a "record of names and dates on gravestones in cemeteries of Ron Archives (32) Bar Harbor, Cranberry Isles, Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor, and Tremont". Now, I recall on one occasion of reading an obituary (late 1800s or early 1900s?) and then looking up the name of the deceased in the Search Shortcuts cemetery book only to find no record. This, as in the case of Albert Henry My Photos "Harry" Lynam, indicates to me that the person, if actually buried in the cemetery reported in the newspaper, simply has no gravestone. Cremation My Attachments followed by scattering of ashes is a possibility, but I would more likely expect that the person was actually buried but with no stone. Ashes seem to be scattered in areas outside the confines of a cemetery, often in a place of former interest to the deceased (e.g., the ocean or a mountaintop). And if the paper mentions "internment", then he probably was buried. There are two interesting sidelights to this issue. One is that when proofing the book, I discovered that a gravestone in the Hillside Cemetery was no longer in the place where I had seen it during my original visit to the cemetery, or anywhere else that I could determine for that matter. Not only was this young boy's stone missing-I think he died in the early 1900s-but there was a recent burial of an elderly woman who was of an age that would be right if she were his sister. Another sidelight is that I have found two stones for some people, one stone in the Hillside Cemetery and another stone in another cemetery. Presumably a stone was set in the Hillside Cemetery some years before a death and then, perhaps due to marriage, the person was actually buried elsewhere and given a stone in that other cemetery (or vice versa). It is possible that there were other names on the original stone, and therefore it could not be properly removed when only one of the persons was buried elsewhere. Sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer. Tom http://us.f842.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowLetter?MsgId=6532_7745733_77405_1646_2757 4/18/2008 Verizon Yahoo!

O. Box 400; Southwest Harbor, ME 04679 - info@vfthomas.com (updated 11 January 2009) Welcome to the home page of the Champlain Project. In 1880 Charles Eliot, son of Harvard president Charles W. Eliot, organized the Champlain Society, a group of Harvard undergraduates, to explore Mount Desert Island (MDI) and study various topics of natural history: botany, ornithology, geology, etc. One result of their investigations was the 1894 publication "Flora of Mount Desert Island, Maine". On 1 August 2007, with the original Champlain Society in mind, a group of seven naturalists gathered for a potluck supper and an evening of discussion about the natural history of Mount Desert Island. The members of that group agreed there was a need for more communication about MDI's natural history. They knew that lots of facts were stored in the heads of some people and that there were many reports filed away in various facilities, but they believed that that information should be readily and easily accessible. Like members of the earlier Champlain Society, these naturalists were also interested in hiking and studying the natural history of the island. They would have adopted the name Champlain Society had it not been recently chosen by College of the Atlantic as an honorary title for those who donated more than $1500 to the college. So, an alternative name, the Champlain Project, was selected. The seven naturalists recognized that there were already groups that held regular meetings, offered public programs, and planned field trips, and, therefore, they decided that there was no good reason to create a formal organization. Instead, they thought that a web site could reach the widest audience, although other methods of sharing information were not ruled out. In particular, because many naturalists like to share experiences with others, the web site would include announcements of hikes, canoe/kayak outings, etc., that Champlainers (the name for anyone interested in the natural history of Mount Desert Island) were individually planning, SO a limited number of people could join in the fun. The purpose, then, of the Champlain Project is two-fold: to assemble information about MDI's natural history and to present it in an accessible manner, primarily via a web site. How this web site is organized. The Champlain Project web site is divided into four parts. Part one contains taxonomically arranged links to checklists of Mount Desert Island's animals and plants. (Kingdoms monera, protoctista, and most fungi (including lichens) will be added when information becomes available.) Many links are followed by descriptions of one or more research projects, questions, or observations. Within some (goal: all) checklists, links for some (goal: all) species lead to for further information, including photographs. Part two lists programs and activities scheduled by various organizations or planned by Champlainers. Part three announces volunteer opportunities. Part four contains a list of organizations and other resources that focus wholly or in part on some aspect (s) of natural history of Mount Desert Island. This web site is best viewed using a monitor resolution of 1440 X 900 pixels. How to contribute to this web site. All information (animal or plant observations, questions, photographs, notices of events, etc.) for the Champlain Project web site should be e-mailed to info@vfthomas.com or sent by traditional mail to the address at the top of this page. Credit will be given to submitters, or, if desired, information can be posted anonymously. Material may be edited, primarily http://www.vfthomas.com/champlainprojecthome.htm 1/28/2009 Champlain Project Page 2 of 13 for brevity. (Extraneous material will be referred to the Champlain Project's Department of Redundancy Department of the Champlain Project.) Suggestions for additional topics are encouraged. E-mail newsletter and mystery photo. Every few months a Champlain Project update will be e-mailed, and it will include a link to a "mystery photo" of an animal or plant or even something geological. Please e-mail if you would like to receive these updates. To see the current (posted 1 May 2008) mystery photo, click here. Checklists Living organisms were divided at one time into two kingdoms: Kingdom Animalia (animals) and Kingdom Plantae (plants). Perhaps you used to play the guessing game "Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral". Then, in the late 1960s, came the five-kingdom classification: Kingdoms Monera, Protista (sometimes called Protoctista), Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae (sometimes called Metaphyta). Now, with the advent of molecular biology, which has made it possible to sequence DNA, and computers, which have made previously impossible calculations manageable, we have a better understanding of the evolutionary relationships among organisms. Three domains (a grouping above the kingdom level) are now recognized: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. The first two domains contain the prokaryotes (all formerly in Kingdom Monera), and Eukarya, as the name suggests, includes the eukaryotes. Today, researchers still recognize Fungi, Animalia, and Plantae, but the former Kingdom Protista is now known to contain many species that are not more closely related to each other than they are to Fungi, Animalia, or Plantae. It is, therefore, no longer recognized, and species, genera, families, etc., that were once thought to be united under that kingdom are listed immediately below.

Vining's book, Cemeteries of Cranberry Isles and the Towns of Mount Desert Island, is a superb guide to local cemeteries. As you visit these lesser-known cemeteries, having a copy of Vining's book in hand would be helpful as you try to decipher names and dates. Copies may be purchased from MDI Historical Society or local bookstores. The Historical Society has one copy which can be borrowed for a week at a time. The cemeteries described here were chosen for their history, their distinctive settings, or because they are relatively unknown. Better known and more often visited are Brookside Cemetery in Somesville, Forest Hill in Northeast Harbor and Ledgelawn and Mount Desert Street cemeteries in Bar Harbor. A few very interest- ing cemeteries were not included here because there is no safe parking nearby or because they sit on private land that cannot be accessed. Discovering local history on your own is part of the enjoyment of cemetery exploration. No effort has been made here to describe the cemeteries in detail or to include all that could be said about them. You will enjoy discovering those features that most interest you! Pretty Marsh Cemetery Located on the north side of Bartlett Landing Road. Take Indian Point Road to the three- way-stop where it meets Bartlett Landing Road. Turn on to Bartlett Landing Road and proceed approximately .2 miles; the cemetery will be on the right. There is one parking space at the foot of the hill. This cemetery is rich in Pretty Marsh history. The early settlers - Freemans, Athertons, Smiths, Grays and Millikens - are well represented. Pretty Marsh was a seagoing and farming community. Nineteenth century schooners moored very near the cemetery. Gravestone inscriptions attest to the connection between the community of Pretty Marsh and the schooner trade; many men were called "Captain" and many young men died "at sea" Look for the imposing columns and old stones marking the Freeman family graves. Pioneer Reuben Freeman (1740-1812) served in the Revolutionary War. Judith Somes Freeman Atherton and her husband, Israel Atherton, were prominent citizens. Two of their infant sons are buried here. We might suppose that their son Andrew Jackson Atherton (1835-36) was named for President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837). 1 Of particular interest is the column for Captain Reuben Freeman, whose three wives - Rhoda, Polly and Margaret - share the monument with him. Three of the sons of Captain Daniel Freeman (d. 1874) and his wife, Mercy (d. 1845), died at sea - Gardner, George W. (in Rio de Janeiro) and Wilber. A fourth, Joshua, died in far-off Oregon. Note the stone for Prince Albert Freeman, who died at age 16 in 1862. We might ask, "What was the story behind his name?" There is also an interesting monument for Allen Freeman (d. 1945), a farmer and builder of homes. The balanced cube seems an appropriate symbol for this fine craftsman. Several of the early 19th century women's graves are marked by a dark rectangular stone with a similar carved image. As an example, look for the stone of Tamesin Heath. Recent graves include those of Lewis Smallidge, a popular band leader and musi- cian, and his wife Mazie. There are also stones for prominent Chicago minister Dr. Arthur Cushman McGiffert, Jr., and his wife Elizabeth, an Eliot descendant. Beech Hill Cemeteries There are several burying sites on Beech Hill, and three will be mentioned here: Wasgatt Cemetery, the Atherton-Mikhalapov graves and the Richardson Burying Ground. Wasgatt Cemetery On the east side of Beech Hill Road, past the open fields where lupine grow in the summer. The earliest grave here dates to 1825, a year in which, according to Southwest Harbor historian Nellie Thorndike, diphtheria killed a number of children on Mount Desert Island. Two Clark children, Margaret and Mercy, died in September of 1825, perhaps from that illness. This history of the Wasgatt family on MDI is extensive. There were many spellings of the family name, as the graves here illustrate: Wasgatt, Wasgatte, and Wasgott. The Rev. Asa Wasgatt and Davis Wasgatt, Esq. and their wives, Sarah and Rachel, were early leaders of the Beech Hill community. 2 Atherton-Mikhalpov Graves East side of Beech Hill Road ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. Please view these graves from the road. Mary (d. 1883) and William (d. 1876) Atherton and George Mikhalapov (d. 1971) are buried here near a small grove of trees. Richardson Burying Ground Located on the private Northwood Lane, which turns west off Beech Hill Road. Park on Beech Hill Road and walk about .1 miles down Northwood. The cemetery is on the right. The earliest Richardson stone dates to 1821; the most recent is probably 1996. While Beech Hill was an agricultural village, many of the stones are for sea captains (Captain Timothy Mason, Captain Richard Richardson) or young men lost at sea. Other family names represented here are Atherton, Lanpher, Mason, Robinson and Wasgott. Richardsons are still living on Beech Hill, but the name Wasgatt, with its spelling variants, seems to have disappeared from MDI. Kenison Cemetery Located on the south side of Pretty Marsh Road, scarcely .1 miles east of the Long Pond parking area and just past Northern Neck Road. Look for a gravel path leading to granite steps that go up a hill. The cemetery is bordered by a post and rail fence with a swinging gate marked with the letter K. Many of the verses written on stones in this cemetery are hard to decipher, but they are an notable feature of this small cemetery. Look especially for the verse on the stone for Eliza J. Kenison. Stone rubbers will find these stones a challenge, but perhaps a rewarding one. Most of the verses are on the side facing away from the road. If you try lift up the broken stone near the front fence, look out for all the ants on the underside! There are wooden crosses as well as stone ones. On one side of the Kenison family stone are the names of 16 people and their ages when they died. The earliest graves date from the 1850s. 3 Center Cemetery Located at the north end of the Cape Road in Tremont. Go south on the Pretty Marsh Road from the village of Pretty Marsh for approximately 2.4 miles, then turn right onto the Cape Road. In just under .1 mile, turn sharply right into a lane and then immediately right into a narrow road which leads to the cemetery. This cemetery is a very old one, and bushes and trees now block the view of some stones - for example, the stone for Abrahams Somes (d. 1851 at age 28), the son of John C. and Joann Somes. This cemetery was originally known as the Somes Burying Ground. Many of the graves are well cared for and are distinguished by the decorative and memorial items placed around them. In most island cemeteries, only flowers (living or artificial) have been placed by the graves, but here families have brought more personal items to decorate the graves, evoking the deceased's hobbies or work. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we learn more about some of the deceased here than in other burying grounds. Look, for example, at the memorial stone for Russell Murphy (I'm Coming Home, Mother") and the new stone for Richard Paine, who created the Seal Cove Auto Museum. The names of families who settled Seal Cove are well represented: Butler, Dow, Carter, Hodgdon, Ober and Robbins. Families who settled later in the 19th century and still live in Tremont are also represented: Harpers, Kelleys, Murphys and Stewarts, for example. Flye Cemetery Follow the Pretty Marsh Road south from Pretty Marsh village about 3.8 miles. Just after crossing a bridge, you will see on the left a sign for Cove's End Road. Park along the main road and walk back to your left along Cove's End Road. Look for the mowed path on your right which leads to the cemetery. This is a little-known but quite interesting cemetery, enclosed by a white picket fence. Buried here are Flyes, Heaths, Obers, Reeds and Spragues. The earliest grave is from 1825 (Captain James Flye, age 18). Athalaney Flye, probably James's sister, also died at age 18, in 1834. Several years ago, the MDI Historical Society displayed an embroidered patchwork quilt completed by seven year old Athalaney in 1824. The Obers and Heath families were not only well-known for their seamanship but also for the mills and stores they owned. The Ober, Flye and Heath families now appear to have moved away from Mount Desert Island. 4 The Old Burying Ground Located on the south side of High Road in Southwest Harbor, about .1 mile from the intersection of High Road, Clark Point Road and Herrick Road. This was the first public cemetery on MDI. It was originally located on property that belonged to Congregationalist minister Ebenezer Eaton. There is no stone for Rev. Eaton, although his "consort," Abigail, is buried here (d. 1830). A footstone engraved "D.E.F.G.H." marks the burial place of David E. F. G. Hopkins, who died in 1857 at age 36. Deacon Oliver's Cemetery Located on Indian Point at Blagden Preserve. Park in the Nature Conservancy lot and walk down the paved road to the cemetery for .3-.4 of a mile. Look for an area on the right that is being cleared of trees; the path to the cemetery begins here. The principal name on the graves is Higgins, and it was for Deacon Oliver Higgins, who died in 1870 at age 90, that the cemetery is named. Several young children of Deacon Oliver and his wife, Ruth, are buried here. Salisbury Cove Cemetery Located on the bay side of the Old Bar Harbor Road near Fire Road #342. Look for many examples of 18th and 19th century women's names, especially among the Salisbury/Salsbury, Goodridge and Young family stones. This cemetery is notable for the number of Civil War veterans buried here. Hillside Cemetery Located west of Route 3 in Hulls Cove. Look for a sign just beyond the Barter Motel. The names of many well-known Eden/Bar Harbor families, especially Hamors and Higginses, are seen here. Well over 100 Hamor graves are in this cemetery. Bushes now conceal a number of stones. It appears that the cemetery originally faced toward the mountains rather than today's Route 3. Take time to look for the stone that is marked "DeGregoire, d. 1811." Marie de Gregoire, descendant of explorer Cadillac, had successfully petitioned the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1794 for title to the eastern half of Mount Desert Island. Unsuccessful at selling off the land they owned, she and her husband and 5 children lived very modestly for a number of years in Hulls Cove at a site behind the present Colony Motel. Marie died, it is said, in 1811, and this stone could mark her grave. Old County Road Cemetery Located on the west side of Old County Road. From the traffic light at the head of the island, turn west on Old Country Road, and proceed about .2 miles. The cemetery is on the right in the trees beside the road. This is a very old and poorly maintained cemetery. Many stones are broken and lying on the ground. Some stones are probably hidden by vegetation. Only footstones mark some gravesites. The earliest visible stone dates to 1814 (Jesse Higgins, husband of Priscilla). Several very common names in the 19th century appear on the stones: Elisha, Thankful, Mercy, Asenath and Eben. The most recent stone dates to 1901 (Jennie Mayo Haley). Kimball Cemetery Located on Kimball Road in Northeast Harbor on the right just past #15. The path from the road is thick with moss, tree roots, and grasses. There are two sections to this well-cared-for, dignified cemetery tucked in the woods; one is enclosed by an iron fence and the second by a stone wall. The earliest Kimball family member buried here is Daniel, born in 1802. The most recent stone is dated 1997. 6
