Richardson to Mary Wheelwright 1916 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2017.401.2177 Type: Document, Correspondence, Letter Subject: People Description: Letter. Six pages (3 sheets double sided). Return address is Mrs. C. M. Richardson (Carrie), Cranberry Isles, Maine, stamp and postmark are cut away but a handwritten note says PostMarked Nov. 1916. Letter is dated Cranberry Isles, Nov. 3d, 1915(?). Addressed to Miss Mary C. Wheelwright, Lincoln, Mass, with a handwritten note: "Given to me (Hilda Spurling), Summer 1958 at time of Miss Wheelwright's death." Scanned."Dear Miss Wheelwright:I have not a printed copy left of "In memorium," and thus far have failed to obtain one, and therefore, I have copied from my scrapbook, the original poem on the enclosed paper. Also I have copied the poem with my own additions and alterations as recited at a Concert after the Bell had been given to the church. Personally, I am too prosaic to compose poetry, and thinking that I might not only honor the one for whom it was composed but also our deceased pastor C. E. Harwood, and also the generous donors who helped him financially, I conceived the idea of using the original poem as I did as a memorial to the living for the Bell, as well as for the deceased who had done so much in years gone by, and especially as the proposed Memorial Chandelier had to be given up, on account of the great changes that had resulted by the sudden death of Rev. C. E. Harwood, and the funds that I had collected from the children and grandchildren of Abagail C. (?) Preble. for the pupose were recalled by them and otherwise disposed of, and only the poem remained with me. It was printed in several Hancock County papers, but probably none exist now. Very gratefullly yours, Carrie M. Richardson."[Long poem handwritten and attached.] [show more]
