Postcards, collection of three black and white photo postcards. 1076A: "Congregational Church, Cranberry Isles, Me. 13119 Mrs. E.A. Stanley, Publisher" shows the Great Cranberry Congregational Church with original steeple and parsonage house with its additional wing visible to right. Photograph taken between 1898 when bell was installed and 1922 when original steeple was replaced. Nothing written on postcard except small "PBN" on lower right. 1076B: "Mountain View from Cranberry Isles, ME. 23", 1 cent stamp, postmarked Cranberry Isles Maine, July 3, 1915. Addressed to Miss Maria H. Newman, Salem, New Jersey. Sender unknown. Difficult to read message as postcard had been pasted onto thicker paper at some point in its history, perhaps an album or scrapbook. Image is silvering and fading. 1076C: "Spurling's Cove, Cranberry Island, ME. 135." View of what may have been the first town dock with horse and load waiting patiently. One cent stamp, postmarked from Cranberry Isles, Maine, probably August 24, 1915, addressed to Mrs. J. E. Upham, 137 Central St., XXX, Mass, dated August 22. "Dear Nettie: I never saw time pass so fast. We are having a great old time and the weather has been pleasant every day so far - quite warm today. Wish you could see the surf on the rocks. Had some lovely trips in motor boat. Bar Harbor one day. Mabel".
