| 2012.200.1583 | Remembering the Finkelstein's house |
|
| Document, from Ralph W. Stanley to Phil & Karin Whitney dated 4/25/2010. Subject: "Re: GCI House Information Request. It is believed the Great Cranberry House belonged to John Stanley, brother of Enoch B. It possibly was built by him. John Stanley's wife was Lucinda Gott Stanley, daughter of of Jonathan R. and Irene Lorilla (Ladd) Stanley. The house passed to their son, John Gilman Stanley and his wife, Mary Florence Stanley (daughter of Asa Doane and Maria Ellen (Spurling) Stanley). John Gilman was called by his nickname "Gim Stanley". I have seen Lew Stanley referred to as Lewis Gilman Stanley but this is not right- his name is Lewis Gilley Stanley. |

| 2012.200.1588 | Wood and Richman house histories |
|
| Document, from Phil & Karin Whitney to Wini Smart dated 4/29/2010. Subject: "Re: Woods House". See item 1588a (the questions from Wini Smart to Bruce Komusin which generated item 1588). (Note: This document is about the Woods house but mostly background on the Richman house.) Key words and names in this document include: Wood's House, Julia Bunker Spurling and her mother, Sidney (aka Sydney) Hamor. The old Richman house currently owned by Michael Richman and his sister, Wren Richman. Willis & Rena Bunker lived in the Richman house (what is now Dick & Anne Sullivan's house). Percy Bunker & wife Gertrude Bunker moved into the Sullivan house. Sometime in the early 1950s, Winslow Bunker, unmarried, lived in the Richman house. Gaile Colby might remember more specifically about some of this. In 1954, Gertude Bunker died and Percy Bunker moved to Islesford, where he remained until his death. Winslow Bunker got married to Rosie (last name not known) a school teacher in Brewer. Richman house was sold to Robert & Maida Richman of Washington, D.C. in 1954. Winslow Bunker died in 1992, Robert Richman died approximately in 1990, Maida Richman died around 2002 or 2003. My understanding is that the house has always remained the sole property of the Richman family. Clay Taylor has no financial interest in it. Phil Whitney says in the document that when Wini is doing the full history of the Sullivan house (previously the Richman house) that he has more background information and some interesting anecdotes. Phil has very fond memories of "old Cranberry day" with Percy & Gertrude and Winslow & Rosie as well. Phil Whitney says " that the whole family is mostly forgotten now". |

| 2012.200.1586 | Donald House |
|
| 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. |
