|  Postcards to Clara Rice on Sutton Island 1909-1917 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Postcards (1910-1917) addressed to Mr. and/or Mrs. Wilbert .A. Rice, Mrs. Clara Rice, Mrs. Caddie Rice. Correspondence is not remarkable, just brief notes inquiring about the weather, health, visits; birthdays (September and March) and many holiday greetings from family and friends on pretty, mostly seasonal and birthday postcards. A few are of practical matters. These are 1 cent postage stamps (until 1917) so the centuries old “a penny for your thoughts” expression comes to mind. About 100 postcards total; only 2 scanned. An April 15, 1910 Bar harbor Record newspaper article relates Clara was rescued from a boating accident off GCI. Clara Rice was postmistress on Sutton Island in the Cranberry Isles. She may have married a Fernald, then Charles Edward Bunker, and then wed Wilbert Augustus Rice in 1893. There are three houses in a row connected to Clara Rice including the donor's house on Sutton. There is also a collection of clipped 1 cent stamps in a 1919 envelope, and two stereoscopic cards (not scanned).

|  Letter with details of voyage on the Schooner Willow Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Scan of a two-page 1860 letter from Warren Bunker to his brother-in-law Daniel Hamor with details of Bunker's voyage on the Schooner Willow from 'home' to Baltimore, Savannah, Jacksonville, Nassau, mentioning his cargo of 'old sailors' and yellow pine, the money he has made and hopes to make, and plans for future voyages mentioning Mauricetown NJ and Machiasport possibilities. (See transcription of letter.) We believe 'old sailors' means experienced sailors or sailors who had hired out on another voyage and were trying to get home. Warren Bunker (born 1824, died 1870 at Cranberry Isles) was great-great-grandfather of Great Cranberry Island resident Phil Whitney. Daniel Hamor (born 1822, died 1894) is distantly connected to the donor's family. Background information from donor: Warren Bunker wrote the letter to his brother-in-law Daniel Hamor, Warren's wife's (Sidney Hamor Bunker's) brother, who was then living in Eden (now Bar Harbor), Maine. Daniel Hamor built a fairly large house that still stands (in 2015 painted yellow, with a barn in back), next to the Pot & Kettle Club entrance on what is now Route 3 between Salisbury Cove and Hulls Cove. When Daniel Hamor and his wife Polly died, in 1894, their house was left to their children, Ella, Edward and Mariah, none of whom ever married or had children as far as we know. Ella and Edward died (on the same night in 1928, probably of influenza), leaving the house to Mariah. When Mariah grew old, she invited her cousin Georgia Hamor to come and take care of her on condition that when she (Mariah) died, the house would become Georgia's. Mariah died in 1936. At that time Georgia Hamor inherited the Hamor home, and presumably the Warren Bunker letter. Georgia and her brother, Ansel, lived in the house until they died (Georgia in 1971 and Ansel in 1978). At some point, Georgia, who had inherited various Hamor mementos with the house, gave the letter to her niece, Alice Smith Cowles. She, in turn, gave the letter to me (Alan Cowles). "We almost lost the letter in the great fire of 1947. A note from the Boston Sunday Post, published in October 1947, stated that "Miss Georgia Hamor, a native spinster, and her brother, Ansel, were the last to leave their home in the Hulls Cove section before the inrush of the flames today, and left only because town officials insisted on the evacuation." Fortunately, the fire stopped about one mile from their home." See transcript. [show more] | |

|  Letter from Julia Bunker to Mariah Hamor with transcription Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Letter. Digital version with transcription by donor. Letter was written by Julia Bunker probably to Mariah Hamor (1857-1936) written April 15, ca. 1863-1870. Donor states the letter was sent to "Mercie M. Hamor" but he believes it was for Mariah M. Hamor. The letter was written while Warren Bunker (1824-1870) was alive and while Julia Bunker was old enough to write such a letter (after 1863).Warren was recovering from a leg injury. A new "meeting house" was supposed to be completed on "Cranberry Isles" by the 4th of July in that year. There are also other clues to the date. The letter was probably written on a Sunday, April 15th, and a Horace Edgar ______ had recentlybeen born. Letter references Mariah Hamor, Sidney Chadwick Hamor, Warren Rogers Bunker, Sarah Staples bunker or Experience Leland Hamor, Ella Hamor. ,Julia Maria Bunker.
