An Old Christian Symbol over a Baptist Church - Weathervane Wednesday

 

This simple, two dimensional, fish weathervane above the Village Baptist Church in Kennebunkport, Maine is gilded, and can be seen from quite a distance.  The fish is an ancient symbol of Christianity,  known as the ichthys or ichthus.  The fish symbol of two arcs was originally a secret symbol for early Christians.  It is popular for weathervanes, and I have blogged about a few HERE and HERE (among others, including this one in Spain HERE!)   It is very appropriate for a church in a small coastal town like Kennebunkport. 

The Village Baptist Church was built in 1820, and renovated over time.  The steeple was refurbished in 2013, and the bell tower removed.  The original weathervane was replaced back on top of the steeple.

Lobster Pot Trees - Merry Christmas!

 These lobster pot trees are a New England tradition.  In the past, lobster fishermen have piled their traps in their yards for the winter, and some were creative in making them into Christmas trees for the holidays.  Then some appeared in harbors and on village greens.  Now coastal towns are featuring more and more lobster trap trees.  No two are alike, and all are welcome signs of the holidays!

Hood's Milk, Concord, New Hampshire - Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed over the Hood's Milk office at 330 North State Street, Concord, New Hampshire. 


The H. P. Hood Milk Company began as a delivery service in Charlestown, Massachusetts.  The owner, Harvey Perley Hood, expanded his business by buying a dairy farm in Derry, New Hampshire in 1856 and delivering the milk to the Boston area by train.  Hood's milk grew throughout New England and nation wide.  For years the main plant in Charlestown, Massachusetts was seen by millions of people just off the overhead I-93 expressway just outside of Boston, but it is now closed.  

This two dimensional dairy cow weathervane is very appropriate for this building, don't you think?

The First Christmas of New England by Harriet Beecher Stowe

 


This little, hardcover book of just 45 pages was written by Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe (14 June 1811 – 1 July 1896).  The First Christmas of New England is a short story originally published in an 1876 volume containing three separate stories.  Stowe was a prolific writer for her time, authoring over 30 books, which often contained social commentary including abolition of slavery, women’s rights, temperance, and American History. Her most famous book Uncle Tom’s Cabin criticized the Fugitive Slave Act, inflamed the South and energized abolitionists in the North prior to the Civil War.

Harriet was born into the religious family of Rev. Lyman Beecher.  Three of her brothers became ministers, and her father was the famous Reverend Lyman Beecher. Her mother was Roxana Ward Foote, a descendant of Nathaniel Foote (about 1593 – 1644), Nathaniel Bliss (1622 – 1654) and Deacon Samuel Chapin (1598 – 1675) early Connecticut settlers, and my ancestors, too.  As far as I can tell, Harriet Beecher Stowe was not a Mayflower descendant, but she did write about the Pilgrims several times in her books.

All of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s books were well researched. This little story about the 1620 Christmas and the Pilgrim’s first winter in New England is written as fiction but quotes from Bradford’s journal and other primary sources. She doesn’t tell any myths about the Plymouth Colony. I don’t know why her book isn’t more well known. I stumbled across it for a few dollars at a used bookstore. You can find it for sale at Amazon and sellers like Abe Books online.

The small size of the book and the simple woodblock style illustrations would make this an excellent gift for young people. Although it was written in the middle of the 19th century, when many of our myths about the Pilgrims and the Plymouth colony were first dreamed up, this book doesn’t romanticize their story.  The first Christmas took place a few weeks after landing in the New World, while many of the Mayflower passengers were still living on board the ship. By Christmas Eve, some of them had already died.  There was no celebrating of a pagan holiday, on December 25, 1620, they worked hard at building shelter for the new settlement.

Within a few more weeks (after the ending of the book), half of the Mayflower company would be dead.

Christmas at the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery

 These photographs were taken on Saturday, 4 December 2021, on the day the wreaths were laid on the graves at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, New Hampshire.






The New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery was established in 1997.  The first veteran interred was Ernest Holm, who served in WW1 and WWII, along with his wife.  This cemetery has an online burials database, with maps showing the locations of burials, using the VA National Cemetery Administration National Gravesite Locator. It's very easy to use.  There is also a calendar of events and burials, and some handy links for military records, and other organizations. 

The wreaths here were placed by volunteers by Wreaths for Boscawen, organized by the Blue Star Mothers.  Wreaths are locally sourced, and are donated or purchased by individuals and businesses. See the links below to donate/sponsor a wreath, or to volunteer for the wreath laying.

A Vintage Tennis Player - Weathervane Wednesday


This two dimensional weathervane of a female tennis player is above the Kennebunk River Club in Kennebunkport, Maine.  This private sports club was founded in 1889 by thirteen wealthy summer families as a boating and canoe facility.  The club has expanded their activities and membership over the years, and in 1975 the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Happy 400th Anniversary of the First Thanksgiving!


This is the year we commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the First Thanksgiving.  And many people are wondering "Did my ancestors come on the Mayflower?"  If you have colonial New England ancestry, you might have a Pilgrim in your family tree!  It is estimated that over 20 million people around the world are descended from a Mayflower passenger. 

Here are my own lineages in alphabetical order with Mayflower passengers in bold. Do we have any cousin connections?

Horace Greeley House, Amherst, New Hampshire - Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed over the barn at the historic Horace Greeley house in Amhert, New Hampshire on Horace Greeley Road.  There is another Horace Greeley house in Chappaqua, New York, built in 1820, where he lived from 1864 until his death in 1872. 



Horace Greeley was born in this house in Amherst, New Hampshire on 3 February 1811.  He grew up on the farm and was apprenticed to a printer, where his interest in publishing and newspaper got its start.  In 1841 he started the Tribune in New York City, which was the highest circulating newspaper in the United States at the time.  Greeley is often credited for the quote "Go West, young man, and grow up with the country" but he probably did not originate this saying.  

The Greeley family was from Hudson, New Hampshire (originally from Haverhill, Massachusetts) and Horace's mother, Mary Woodburn, was born in Londonderry of Scots Irish ancestry (Woodburn, Clark, Taggart, Fulton).  Horace Greeley used to spend summers at his grandparents' home in Londonderry, and wrote about this in his autobiography.  (See below for a link to a blog post about this Londonderry/Nutfield connection) 

Greeley was a big supporter of President Lincoln, and of the north during the Civil War.  He wrote a letter to Lincoln proposing the abolition of slavery that was printed in the Tribune as "The Prayer of Twenty Millions".  In 1862 Greeley went to Canada under Lincoln's request to mediate a settlement of the war, but the meeting failed.  Greeley did not support Lincoln for nomination in 1864 until the fall of Atlanta, when he became a fervent supporter again. He was disillusioned by Andrew Johnson's reconstruction plans, and supported his removal when he was impeached in 1868.  

Greely ran for congress in 1866, but lost.  In 1867 he ran for Senate and lost again.  In 1868 he tried to run for New York governor, but lost again.  He ran for the House in 1870, and again was unsuccessful. In 1872 the Democrats nominated Greeley as a presidential candidate.  Greeley resigned from the Tribune, but his campaign was disrupted when his wife became ill that fall, and died on October 30th.  Greeley lost the election. 

Greeley went back to the Tribune, but found that the board wanted to remove him from the editorship.  He had a medical and nervous breakdown, and died on November 29th.  





This green New Hampshire state historic marker is located on Route 101, at the corner of Horace Greeley Road in Amherst, New Hampshire.  It's about a mile from the birthplace.  There is a Horace Greeley room of artifacts inside the Wigwam Museum operated by the Amherst Historical Society on the corner of Middle and Cross Streets.

The Mayflower II over the years

 I found these old photos in our family albums.  I'll bet you have some photos of a trip to Plymouth, Massachusetts and the Mayflower II, too!  These photos span over 50 years, including the time the Mayflower II spent in drydock and under renovation at Fairhaven, Massachusetts and Mystic, Connecticut.

A Gentleman with a Spyglass - Weathervane Wednesday

 


This unusual two dimensional weathervane was photographed in Kennebunkport, Maine.  It is afixed to the top of a flagpole over "The Floats", a boathouse that is now the Kennebunkport Maritime Museum Gallery on Ocean Avenue.  The boathouse was once owned by the Pulitzer Prized winning author Booth Tarkington. 

This two dimensional weathervane shows the faint evidence of it being either painted or made out of two metals.  The gentleman holding a spyglass has white hair.

The Honor Roll Project for Veteran's Day 2021

 

Hancock, New Hampshire

This Veterans Day we have collected names and photos eight volunteers from six states.  The names from these honor rolls are from almost a dozen volunteer contributors.

The Honor Roll project collects transcriptions of the names of the veterans on military honor rolls seen in parks, schools, public buildings, books and other places all over the USA and abroad.  You can read the complete list at this link:

https://honorrollproject.weebly.com  

Twice a year, for Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day, genealogy bloggers photograph and transcribe these honor rolls, and publish them on the internet.   The act of transcribing these names makes them available to be found by search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and others.  Family members searching for genealogical or military information on relatives, ancestors or friends will be able to see the honor rolls, read the names, and learn about their family’s military history.

It is a simple, easy project.  However, it brings unexpected joy to searchers who did not know their ancestors were in the military, or did not know the specific military history, or sometimes they did not even know the town where their ancestors lived.  Seeing their family member’s name on an honor roll can be the beginning of finding more genealogy data, military records and historical information.
