Document, from Ruth (perhaps Westphal) to Wini Smart dated 3/6/2002. Subject: "Hist. info" I called Eva and she said the people who ran the boarding house were Annie and Millard Spurling. Carl Brooks says he does not know the exact relationship of Millard and his grandfather Charles but probably cousins. Carl Brooks says all Spurlings on these islands and the mainland-even down by Corea, Maine are decendents of Benjamin Spurling who came over from England in about 1760 with two brothers. One ended up in the Ozarks and two came to Maine via Vermont or New Hampshire probably in the late 1700's. Eber is more distantly related to Charles than Millard. Phil Whitney says his grandmother, Ella Bates Spurling came to the island as the first teacher in the Longfellow School in 1900 and had Phil's mother, Dorothy Spurling Whitney, in 1911. Velma Teel Taught her until 1967. Her daughter, Mary Teel Pratt, became a secretary and lives near Augusta. Ethel Wedge, Karl's mother, ran the U.S. Post Office out of a room off the front porch. Before that Madeline Bracy Worester, later Ford, ran the U.S. Post Office and a library in a building where Debbie Wedges' house is. No one I spoke with could tell me about a Post Office at Moss, the boatyard near Ginna's (Jimmy Stanley's I believe). Carl Brooks is concerned about public rights for Carl's painting and he says he thinks John Lorence who lives near Wiscasset is in charge of this. I will talk to Polly and let you know what she remembers. Love, Ruth. (note: there are some handwritten notes on the bottom and reverse side of paper written by Bruce Kosmusin) Item 1585a is the back of the document showing Bruce's handwritten notes.
