| Donald House Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |

|
|  Donald House Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Document, from "pad 45" (Peter Donald) to "pkw2@myfairpoint.net" (Phil and Karen Whitney). Subject: "Donald House" Document mentions that that Moorfield Storey bought 2 or 3 buildings that were part of the Bulger Farm in the early part of the 1900's when he first came to Cranberry. One was the house that is now the Donald Trust house (Barbara's). The other is the Pressey house next door which the Frank kids now own jointly. We sold it to the Frank family in the late 1980's after Barbara died. The house that Susie and Gidda Bancroft now own were possibly part of the the Bulger Farm and may have been bought from the Bulgers by some member of the Storey family. The Pressey and Trust house were passed on to Barbara by her father, Malcolm Donald (married to Katherine Storey) in the mid-1940's. I don't know much about the Lyman/Storey house on the hill. Bruce Komusin will be asked to investigate as he has organized a lot of the history on these properties. I will also ask my sister, Debbie, when she is there later this month, to take a look at some of the old pictures stored in the house for a picture of Barbara. [show more] | |||

| Trinkets recovered from Parsonage wall during remodeling 2013 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |

|
|  Trinkets recovered from Parsonage wall during remodeling 2013 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Trinkets or toys. Collection of four small, wooden items recovered from the debris of the wall from the north-facing fireplace along with four concealed shoes (2013.252.1979) during the 2013 remodeling of the Great Cranberry Congregational Church parsonage house (177 Cranberry Road). Miniature boat hull: wood, 3 ¼" long x 1 and 1/8" wide x ½" deep; Spool: wood, 2" diameter x ½" thick; center hole is ½" diameter; Tube: wood, 1 ¾" wide x 2 ½" high, with ½" diameter hole drilled through center; Semi-circle: wood, 5 ½" long x 2 ¾" wide x ¼" thick with black, stamped letters: 'SCHUYKILL LEAD C[?] EXTRA'; half of a circular lid with a hole in the center. The shoes and wooden trinkets would have been intentionally concealed between the stud wall and the brick of the fireplace on the first floor ca. 1840. These items were found under the demolition rubble against the inside of the stud wall that had surrounded the fireplace on the first floor when the chimney was being removed. The four shoes date stylistically to 1820-1830s, likely hidden inside the wall by Enoch Spurling's family when the house was constructed ca. 1840. The shoes and trinkets were repatriated to a spot in the new decorative chimney in October 2013 along with three other modern items in a plastic 'File 'n Go' carry case with latching lid. The three modern items are: one pink-and-white flip-flop sandal with “2013” written on it; one church roster; one church bulletin; and the initial report from the GCIHS about finding the concealed shoes and trinkets. (See also 2013.252.1980 - remnants of shoes from the kitchen crawlspace; 2013.252.2000 - metal implements; 2013.252.2001 - wooden implements; and the report of parsonage house research - 2015.304.2062.)
