Pew 21 in Union Meeting House
Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Pew 21 in the Union Meeting House, formerly owned by Wm. P. Preble and given to C. E. Harwood for use of the people in 1896; with the death of Harwood 1897, the Pew reverted back to Preble, and Preble, at the request of A. C. Wheelwright, did verbally allow him right to claim said Pew [thus apparently causing legal inaccuracies]. Preble now conveys the pew to Mrs. Frances A. Spurling. Signed by Wm. P. Preble December A.D. 1898, witnessed by Carrie M. Richardson and Lucinda Fernald [show more]
