And poor Hamish with his skin! How old was he? A teenager?

Wonderful account from Hilma. Her father was multi-talented and a guardian of his family. People didn't ask for much then but they gave everything.

I wonder why Mrs. Walter Hardy (Clarinda Ferrin of Lawrence , Mass) would donate a picture of the Bullard camp to NIHS. And why Leon Willard took a photo of it. I assume it's not the Bullard camp in Vt . I never heard the name Bullard mentioned in my time in New Ipswich. I would look at the tax rolls of New Ipswich in the 30s to see if there is such a property.

Located in Bank Village near the "whirlpool" the bridge to the property crosses the Souhegan but is posted.

Interesting since I lived near the 'whirlpool'. My brother's body was recovered at that bridge. We assumed he fell off the bridge. He was age 10.

What a terrible thing to lose a sibling.

Yeah, he was 15 yrs younger and I carry some guilt for not teaching him how to swim.
