Late 1890's
LOWER BARTLETT Miss Katherine A. Abbott of Fryeburg, teacher in the high school at Mechanic Falls, was in town this week, a guest at the Pendexter mansion. George E. Gale's new hotel is rapidly nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy in about two weeks. Lelia Gale is quite sick and is with her aunt, Mrs. Parkman Drown. Mr. Townsend, a Salvation Army man who has been stopping inDundee this winter, held a meeting in the church two weeks ago and left an appointment for another meeting last week, but he failed to put in an appearance. Mrs. Richard Bachelder has been quite ill for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Obed Jefferson have moved into the house with George P. Dinsmore, who has papered and painted, and now they have a very pretty rent. Pearl Pitman has returned from a visit to Brookline, Mass. Rosewell Ward has been confined to the house for the past week. Fred Ashuault has been very sick with pneumonia, but is reported a little better. Frank Carlton and wife are sick with the prevailing bad cold. A few more warm days and our snow will be a thing of the past. Some member of nearly every family in this neighborhood is ill with a cold. The singing class under the direction of Mr. Sawyer is making good progress. There are some excellent voices in the school. In fact, they all sing well: We think it would be hard to find children to beat them in whatever they undertake to do. Wherever you go you are confronted by some little tot with an Easter Jug.

The Bloodgood Farm: The Eastern Slope of the White Mountains was still a vast, untamed wilderness when the original farmhouse was built on this site by Samuel Bloodgood, in 1809.
 The Bloodgood farm was famous for its hospitality from the first and remained so during Samuel’s life and those of his sons and grandsons. Among the third generation, Lyle Bloodgood had been a handsome, young and talented actor. Returning in later life after extensive travels, he often regaled his guests with tales of the state. His most exciting story was an eye-witness account of Lincoln’s assassination. He had been one of the performers at Ford’s theater in Washington on that fatal night. It was some years before this, in the late 1830s, that the farm had in fact become an inn, the owners setting a sign at the roadside to invite the traveling public to their hearth and board. |
