Rev. Robert H Lee,
Pro. Chancellor,
307 Congress St.,

Portland, No.
Dear Sir:
On July 5th we sent Rt. Rev. I. S. Walsh at the above address,
two chit-claim deeds, one running to the Haneook County Trustees of
Public Reservations and the other running to Mr. George B. Dorr. These
deeds as we understood it, were to be executed by the 3ishop and re-
turned either to us or to Father O'Brien, to be delivered upon receipt
of deed from Mr. Dorr, in accordance with the understanding between
the parties. Since that time we have heard nothing in regard to the
matter. Will you kindly cell the Bishop's attention to the matter, so
that the deeds may be executed and forwarded and the matter closed.
Above letter was written after a consultation with Father
O'Brien.
Yours truly,
Sept; 1, 1911.
Frank C. Bates Esq.
155 Milk Street,
Boston, Mass.
Dear Sir:
We enclose herewith two deeds from you and Mr. Samuel
W. Bates.
One to the Kebo Valley Club and the other to Mr.
Deasy. Will you kinsly sign the e deeds and return them to be
signed by Mr. Samuel W. Batés when the deed from Mr. John How
arrives. Our object in sending these deeds now is that we may
be all prepared to close the transaction with the Kebo Valley
people when the deed from Mr. How arrives. The deed to Mr.
Deasy, Mr. Bates has probably explained to you. Mr Deasy
at
the same time transfers the same property to Mr. Samuel W. Bates.
These deeds should be signed by you and your wife and witnessed.
Will you also acknowledge them.
Yours very truly,
Cofyi

March 27th, 1911.
My dear Father O'Brien,
I an glad to do what I can to give the new Cenetery the
best boundaries and pleasantest surroundings it can have, both for
the town's interest in this and for the sake of the association
which must gather round it, later. I would rather, as you know,
have postponed the matter until we should have opportunity to study
it over together in the spring; for I have thought that we might do
it better 80. But since you feel it is important to get the matter
sottled now, I will willingly do what I our to arrange it on the best
basis that may be possible without further study or opportunity to
talk your plana for the land's arrangement over with you on the spot.
But to do this without sono measured plan or drawing of the lot such
as I asked Mr Willey to send ne for the purpose, showing its bounda-
rics and extent, would be difficult; it, was to help the matter on in
accordance with your wishes that I asked for it.
the triangular piece of land at the south end of the lot which
the Cenetery would exchange with me for other land 09 equal extent
to its westward represents a gift on my part to the town in the form
of a contribution torrard the cost of the proposed road; but it seens
to me of much importance to the Cenetery also that this ro-arrange
pont should be made, as without it the Cemetery would have no front-
age on the new road, should it be built, but a narrow, triangular
strip of land belonging to Mr Bowles would lie between it and this
2
road which would ultimately have to be bought, I think, by the
Cemetary for its protection, as it certainly should not be built upon
In this exchange, the Cenetery will be quite as great a gainer as
the Town, I think; for I doubt if Mr Bowles would be willing to sell
the strip, if it should be thus left between the road and Cenetery,
for 1000 than a good price.
A second matter with regard to which I suggested last fall
that we should make some arrangement if we could had reference to
making the present road-frontage of the Cenetery attractive by throw
ing its graves and fencing back a little way from the rood-edge and
leaving space along the roadside for the planting of such trees or
shrubs as might 89611 best hereafter. such an arrangement
---
placing
the strip under the care of the village Improvement society possibly
- SCGNS to me desirable alike for the Cemetery and the mullic. The
stap need not be a wide one: it would simply rikks a pleasant bor-
der to the road and an attractivo frontage to the Conetery, nor
would any such strip at all be necessary had not that portion of the
Harden Para Road been laid out with undelly narrow bounds; further on,
it widens nut to fifty foot and should have had that width here also.
It is 2 width that the new road will have throughout 1° it shall be
laid out.
The third matter I have had in mind, and spoke of with you in
December, relates especially to the low land included in the north-
east
corner of the lot. This 170 both agree I believe in regarding
as unsuitable for burial purposes, as any deep drainage of it is in-
poss ible owing to the high lovel of the brook nearby; its value to
the Central lies in the protection it affords it, from disfigurement
or building on this side.
But as this protection is important to
the Cemetery, it could only part with this land by placing permanent
3
restrictions upon it. What I had in mind accordingly, and spoke of
to you in December, is some arrangement by which this low-lying por-
ti on of the lot, together with such part of the adjoining higher land
as it might seem best to include with it for boundary or other rea-
sons, should be left unfenced and dedicated to a park-like use.
The land thus used would naturally take a more or less triangular
form determined by the rise and general character of the ground, and
it was in this sense that I thought of it and spoke of it to you last
winter. But it has not been clear to me how far it, would be best it
should extend westward upon the northern side; the high land in the
northwestern portion of the lot I have supposed to be generally
suitable for cemetery use. on the Harden Farm Roadside --- the
eastern side, that is -- the place where such a piece should start
is fairly well defined, as I remember it, by the gradual rise of the
ground along the roadside. The suggestion that a strip of equal
width across the lot be taken from its northern end is not one that
I made, as you will recall I think, but was so mothing that you spoke
of to me later - after our first talk about it -- as possibly de-
sirable, in addition to the other, from the Cemetery's point of view
if t t c o l d be arranged. But this would take out of the Cemetery
so cons iderable a piece of land available for burial, as I under-
stand it, and would involve l'e-adjustment of some sort upon 00 large
a scale that I do not see at present how it would be possible to
make it. For the Cemetery, as I see it, could only give up the right-
of-way boundary and parklike frontage which it now has toward the
golf Links on the north if the land which it gives up is dedicated
to a parklike use, and such use must be secured to it 117 any arrange-
ment it may make. The open frontage on that side seems to me es-
sential to the Cemetery for its own pleasantness and protection.
4
What I propose, therefore, is this: First, an exchange of
land at the south end of the lot which will give the Cenetery front-
age on the proposed road, should it be built, throughout the whole
extent of its southorn boundary, the land given the Cemetery to be
equal in area to that which it gives up.
second, to give the Cenetery further land upon its western side,
increasing the extent of this, upon its dedicating to park purposes
a narrot strip OF land, a few feet wide, along the Harden Farm road-
side, together with a more or less triangular piece at its north ond,
taking in the low land unsuitable for burial purposes and as much
more aijoining it as may seem important for giving it and the Come-
terry a good common boundary and attractive edge. As in this case
the land received would be more valuable than what would be given up
at the north and of the lot and as the Cometery would still con-
time to enjoy the advantage of the protection and open frontage it
geta from this land at present, through permanent restrictions placed
on 14 in its interest as well as in the public's, the proportion to
be observed between the amount, of land the Cemetery dedicates in this
very and the land it receives, of a character valuable to it for the
purposes of its existence, should be left to some fair judge, such
as we my agree mon, to determine.
It has been the difficulty of determining in the winter season
what the best boundaries of this northern piece of land would be
which has made it seen to ne desirable to postpone the matter until
spring, when I could study it over with you on the spot; but Hr A.H
Lynam - Hr Deasy's partner and I have done much work together over
Public Reservation matters and I am writing to him by this mail to
ask him to take the matter up with you in my place. Anything that
you and he may definitely agree upon will approve itself to me, I
5
think.
I will send him a copy of this letter also, BG that he may
be propared to discuss the matter with you.
Trusting that you and he my be able to work out some satis-
factory arrangement by which both the Cemetery and the public may
be gainers, believe 100 to remain
Sincerely yours,
Coly;

Mr Clifford M. Willey,
Bar Harbor, Maine.
Dear Sir,
I told Father O'Brien that I thought it might be necessary
to leave the question of our exchange of land and the new cemetery
boundaries resulting from it until later, on account of the uncer-
tainty with regard to the new road and other matters. I still think
we might be able to arrange it better by postponing it but if, look-
ing at it from his point of view, it seems best to get it settled
I think I can do so if you will send ne up a drawing of the cemetery
lot, which Mr Lord no doubt can give you as he surveyed the lot
I think, and will get Mr Lord to also draw on it the lines of the
proposed aut omobile road, of the Harden Farm Road, and of the right-
of-way that bounds the lot upon the northern end. I will then mark
OFF on the map a piece of land which I will give Father O'Brien in
exchange for the triangle necessary for the proposed road - of which
I
will then make a gift to the town. And I will also indicate
on
the map the set-backs and restrictions which it seems to me desirable
- both for the public and for the cemetery itself -- should be es-
tablished along the roadside edge and cemetery boundaries. We can
then discuss intelligently the importance of these and the best way
of securing them.
Yours trily,

My dear Dorr:

date enclosing copies of letters writton Wi ley and Father
I
have 1983 a little conversation with Father O'Drien and we decided
to defer until we could get from Mr. Lord a plot of the land. I
will
then take the matter up.

Dear Mr. Dorr:
Bog to acknowledge receipt of yours in 2'd cometery lot.
I immediately won't to 800 Father O'Brien and after some discussion
he expressed the desire to defer the whole matter until your arrival
here. If this is not satisfactory eill you kindly advice me and I
will again consult with Father O'Brion.
Yours very truly.
April 8, 1914.
George B. Dorr, Reg.
18 Commonwealth Ave.
Boston, Mass.
My dear Mr. Dorr:
Father O'Brien and I.went to-day to the cometery lot
and discussed the matter referred to in your recent letter with the
following result, I to submit the same to you for your decision.
First the triangular piece on the southern end of the cometory lot
to be given to you in place of a strip of the Bame area to run the whole
length of the cemetery lot and on its western^side, as per your letter.
Second, to convey to the Village Improvement Association or to the
Hancock County Reservation a strip eight and one helf to ten feet in
width adjoining Hardon Road and a friangular lot on the north to be
perpetually maintained as a sort of E park or for the planting of
shrubs, treas, etc. as suggested by you, the cemetery to receive in
plece thereof a strip along its whole western side of the came width
as the strip bordering the Harden Road, namely, either eight and one
half or ten feet.
Since writing the above Father O'Brien telephoned saying that the
strip talen for the auto road would be 8, little over sixteen fest in
width, That he ought to have for the strip adjoining the Harden Road
and for the triangular strip on the northern end of the cemetery lot
enough land in addition to the disteen feet to make a strip thirty
feet wide across the whole western side of the lot. After some dis-
cassion. he said write you either twenty=five or thirty feet.
He
therefore would gain for burial purposes twenty-five or thirty feet
on one side and lose in addition to the triangle for the euto road eight
and one helf to ten 100g on the other side..
The triangle on the
northern and is approximately one hundred and fifty feet on the Harden
Road and runs in & straight line to the boulder merked on the plan and
thence to the northwest corner of the Iot.
I enclose plan herewith
showing the proposed changes.
Yours truly,

Mr A. H. Lynam,
Bar Harbor, Ma ino.
My dear Mr Lynam,
I enclose you cony of a letter I am mailing to Father
O'Brien; please read it carefully. I think you will find it clear;
if not, Mr Lord, with whom I looked this land over when I was last
at Bar Harbor, will be able to make it so.
I asked Father O'Brien last December if he would agree to an
the
exchange of' land n in the interest of new road, by which a triangular
piece 50 feet wide at the western end and nothing at the eastern
S. could off the southern of the Cemetery in the inter
be taken portion
Bost 08 the ne W read; in return for this I offered to give him an
its
equal amount of land along western side of the demetory. This
offer I made in order to lessen Bowles' claim for damages and to
avoid leaving a narrow, triangular strip of land between the road and
Cemetery which might be made a nuisance of. The interest of the
also,
Cemetery in designs this seems to me a great one under the circumstan-
end
ces, as they would certainly be forced to buy this strip out if
it should be left and they would probably have to pay a hold-up price
for it. This I think Father O'Brien probably recognizes, but it
would be well to make it clear to him. Of course in making this
offer I am accenting the chance that the road may not be built; if
it should not to, the exchange would be a disadvantageous one to me
2
though favorable to the Cemetery in the greater depth that it would
give it.
The strip of land I speak of along the edge of the Harden Farm
atmost
Road need not be over 10 feet in width from the road-bound in; 81/2018
^
feet even, would be enough I think, this being what added to the
present road, on either side, would give it the 50-foot width the road
it self has further on and should have here for here it is a two-
rod road alone. With the dedication of this strip to a park-like
use the right to plant and care for it, and to maintain shrubs or
trees upon it or remove them, should be included. This strip extends
on into a low piece of ground at the northeastern corner of the lot
whose wet character unfits it permanently for any burial use. It
occurred to me last fall that, as this would be an idle piece accord-
ingly in the Cemetery, some arrangement might be made leaving it
unfenced and dedicating it to a permanent parklike use. You will
see the advantage of doing this frain the public point of view if you
ophosite
will go out there and walk northward up the road from the center of
the Cemetery; you will then see that as you come down the hill,an
attractive view across the Golf Links and to the Building of Arts
the
and hills beyond can be opened up by cutting a few trees and leaving
the
please land open where this low piece lies; the view
in any can
would be across the low piece, but the reservation should extend a
little way up onto the higher land above. I went out to the lot
when I was last down at Bar Harbor with Lord and Frank Brewer, and
over
we studied t ogether how far southward on the Harden Farm Road
one would need to start in order to open out this view. Either of
them could show you the point that seemed to us the best if the
matt er should be possible to arrange.
North of the Cemetery there runs a right-of-way two rods wide,
night of way

whom
skirting it. The land toward the north of this will doubt-
^
less ultimately become park land, extending on into the Golf Links.
The opening out of the view I speak of as one goes northward toward
the brook on the Harden Farm Road defines fairly well where such a
reservation strip - if you can come to any agreement about it with
to th west
Father O'Brien - should begin; but how far up it should extend upon
the
northern side, along the right-of-way that is, has not been clear
to me.
That is the reason why I should have preferred to postpone
the matter until I could study it over in the spring and at leisure.

The choi ce would lie between a strip extending
to the right-of-way
only such a distance as night be necessary to open out the view I
speak of: or further up it, possibly even to the corner. It would
not be necessary that the Cemetery boundary should be a single
straight line in this latter case; it might be made up of two or
three straight lines instead. The only advantage in extending up
lie
the right of way would
in throwing fencing and graves a certain
edg-of the
distance back from the right-of-way

road. On this account it might be well to extend up it all
the way,if possible without too great a sacrifice of land. But the
land which I should give up to the Cemetery on its western side is
valuable, and the land which the Cemetery would give up on the north
has no value except for the Cenetery's own protection and for such
atall,
parklike use as I suggest. Father O'Brien hinself told me last
or reservation
winter that he recognized the land to the westward of the Cemetery
was more valuable than the other but he naturally will want
on that account
to get the utmost that he can from me. I think it would be better
not to suggest to him what I say about the value of the view which
might be opened up from the Harden Farm road; he might think that I
at tached more importance to it than I do and that by holding off he

could get more than would be right and fair from me in exchange for
it.
Father O'Brien, after I had spoken to him of the matter in the
fall --- not making any definite offer to him except as to what would
be taken for the new road -- net me on the street one day and said
that he wished I would take not only what I suggested but a strip of
equal width across the whole lot at its north end, a width of 150
feet was what he suggested then, as that was not a desirable portion
of the lot for their purposes. He did not say it very seriously
but in his usual way and I gave him no serious answer to it, not con-
sidering it a proposition that we could serious scuss. But now

He concludes by saying "Regarding the piece
belonging to John B. How, he gives the estate about an acre, in
other words all the piece he owned jointly with Charles T. HOW
from 8 line rack of the tee-off on hole #6. Northerly, to the
Estate property."
Mr. Bates and his cousin will he in Bar Harbor

explanation will be satisfactory to you.
