March 3, 1915, Local News: What Do You See Here?
My husband Dave, an extraordinary researcher, recently gave me this copy of a March 3, 1915, article from the Caledonian-Record, part of its "local news" showing the Lower Waterford section. What surprises you? What connections can you make? It was 103 years ago (and 2 months and 26 days), yet many of the names are still very much present in Waterford today, as well as in memories.

Ah, there's my great-grandmother who raised my dad, Robert E. Pike, and his two sisters, Elizabeth and Violet, after their mother died. Mary Ellen Pratt Pike was born October 1, 1846 in Lowell, MA. Married R.T. at the then-Methodist Church in Concord (now Moose River Masonic Lodge) on what we celebrate today as Halloween. She died February 15, 1915 in Waterford, the year of what would be the last long log drive down the Connecticut River.
