Could be Charles Gott, possibly Lulu (Steele) Alley's husband at one time. Oval wood and bubble glass, perhaps a 'tiger wood' frame. On reverse in pencil script: "5713 Mr. Chas. Gott, Bar Harbor, ME". Gaile Colby recalled some information about Mr. Steele's old place. " A camp across from Polly Bunker's burned down after a lot of use. Louis Bracy was born in that house. It was an outhouse from the school originally and Sadie brought it down and added it to the 'camp'. Arthur built the replacement to the shack late 1960s 1970s. Arthur lived in the old shack, too. Sadie gave it to Madeleine, and Madeleine and Frank lived in it. Everyone lived in it. Liza and Pink's daughter, Elma, lived in it. Jeanne was her sister. Jeanne Start is who Lou Millar bought her house from. This portrait is one of several items from donors in summer 2016 prior to selling their house on The Lane, GCI. Many items pertain to Lulu Alley family. Items were in the house when donor's parents, June and Ed Sampson, bought the house from Lulu in November 1969. The four Sampson children were added to the deed in 1995. Dan and Maia bought the house from Maia’s siblings in 2002 and sold it in 2016. The house was built for Lulu Steele when she married Lewis Alley 1914(?); Lulu died in 2004. House is said to be a ca. 1914 Sears Roebuck modular home, similar to several others on GCI. The garage on the property was built by Mike Westphal in the 1980s. Big cook stove in kitchen is original. It was the only heat and only stove in the house originally. Rocking chair in house is original. Kitchen cabinetry on right of sink is original. Woodstove in the living room is 1973. [show more] | |||

|
|  Portrait of Mary Ann Carroll (1835-1926) Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Photo. Black and white portrait of Mary Ann Carroll. Large black and white photo print on metal (18.5” H x 14” W) of Mary Ann Carroll that may have once been affixed to a plaque, retrieved by donor from Southwest Harbor transfer station February 2013. Info and text of late 19th century letters provided by Meredith Hutchins of the Southwest Harbor Public Library. See also high res scan from SWHPL. "At last I have the information I promised to send you on “Aunt Mary Ann Carroll,” the school teacher who taught on Great Cranberry and other islands on the Maine coast. Mary Ann Carroll (1835-1926) was the daughter of John Carroll and Rachel Foster Lurvey. John Carroll immigrated to MDI from Borrisleigh, Ireland via Newfoundland with Michael Bulger, who ended up settling on Great Cranberry and is the Bulger ancestor of the people writing the letters below. John Carroll, of course, was the owner of the Carroll Farm in SWH and progenitor of the large family that bears his name. Except as where otherwise noted, the quotations below are from a series of letters that Emma Frances (Bulger) Spurling, (1860-1934) Mrs. Charles Eaton Spurling and others wrote to Emma’s daughter, Mary Frances (Spurling) “Mamie” (1877-1965) later Mrs. Fred Alberton Birlem (1876-1950) while Mary Frances was attending school in Holbrook, Massachusetts. Mrs. Charles Spurling ran the store on Great Cranberry. November 13, 1898 “”Maryann Carroll is going to teach this school, will begin a week from today. She sent on by S. C. Stover to see if I would board her.” – S. C. Stover may be Samuel Stover, born in Trenton in 1848 and died on Great Cranberry in 1912. November 19, 1893 This letter is to Mary Frances from her maternal grandmother, Mary Lurvey (Stanley) Bulger (1835-1919) “Mema” – Mrs. Samuel Newman Bulger “Mary Ann Carroll commenced school to day [sic] and boards to your house. I don’t expect that you care if you are not there to go to school but I wish you was.” [sic] from Grama November 28, 1893 School has kept a week. Maryann [sic] has a slight cold but she makes quite a touse over it. She did not go to Sabbath School to day, [sic] as she was afraid she might get more and would not be able to teach tomorrow.” December 17, 1893 Tuesday morning “Brother” is Charles Samuel Spurling (1880-1911), Mary Frances’s brother. [Brother] “and Mary Ann have gone to school. She told me to say to you that the scholars are all doing vey much better than they were.” December 20, 1893 This letter is from Ella Florence Bulger (1867-1938) “Aunt Flo,” to Mary Frances in Holbrook.Aunt Flo was a sister to Emma Frances, Mary Frances’s mother. At the time she was married to George Jacob Joy and may have been separated from him. Later she married Warren Adelbert Spurling. Wed. eve 7 o’ clock. “Mary Ann has taken her bag and gone to make some calls.” I’m sure that there are many other references to Aunt Mary Ann Carroll in other local history references. She came from a large family and taught all over. As I may have told you Aunt Mary Ann was the first teacher in the fall of 1896 at the Baker Island School. I have a letter written to her nephew William Lloyd Carroll from there. Hope this info is of assistance to you for the GCHS and let me know if I can be of further help.

|  Materials gathered in memoriam related to General Andrew Barclay Spurling Civil War career Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Manuscript. A xerox copy of a collection of materials gathered in memoriam related to the military career of Lieutenant Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General Andrew Barclay Spurling who served during the Civil War and died August 22, 1906. [Spurling is the son of Abigail Cobb Hadlock Spurling who was widowed and married William P. Preble. Spurling's boyhood home was the Preble House on Great Cranberry Island, Maine. He was born in the house across the street from the Preble house now known as the Freeman house.] Spurling was in the 2nd Maine Cavalry Union Army and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor March 3, 1863. This packet of materials was given to GCIHS by Hugh Dwelley in 2004 and contains copies of documents outlined in a letter to "Cara and Ted" (probably Ted Spurling, Sr. of Islesford, Little Cranberry Island, ME) from "Marianne and Rene" dtd June 1st (no year). Marianne and Rene had requested the Spurling records and received them for the cost of $32.00. Documents explain Andrew Spurling's heroism and exploits, contain copies of military records, and include statements by other Mainers who served with him. There are also three typewritten pages of text written by Ted Spurling Sr., Islesford, Maine, summing up Andrew Spurling's life, including Ted Spurling's handwritten note: "Gen. Andrew Spurling's father was Samuel Spurling. Andrew's mother was Abigail Hadlock (of Little Cranberry Island.) Gen. Andrew was a first cousin to my great grandfather, George N. Spurling and also a first cousin to my Great Grand Father, Gilbert T. Hadlock - Ted Spurling Sr. 7/8/2002. *Benjamin Spurling was a Rev. War veteran as well. Ted" The last few pages include copies of newspaper articles: one describes the the discovery of 1864 graffiti etched into the wall of a home in Bagdad, Florida, where Spurling and his troops apparently stopped. Graffitti has been preserved in-situ by the homeowner. Another article tells about the end of his life in Chicago investing in real estate and a rawhide manufacturing company, and mentions his unfortunate investment in the Spurling Block in Elgin just at the Panic of 1893. The last page is a letter from "Bud" to Ted [Spurling] thanking him for his copy and inserting his thoughts, dated September 9, 1994. [Perhaps the original copies of these documents are in the Sawtelle collection at Acadia NPS or in the Islesford Historical Society? TBD] [show more] | |||
