We would like to apologize to our readers for the blip in activity last week - due to technical issues our Walking Tour Video is taking longer to be created. Thusly, we are moving it to the end of June to give our team some more time.

In the meanwhile, we're finally feeling like it's summer out there! A major facet of Peninsula life has been and will be, the summer economy around people coming and going. Many a Blue Hill family has made their living by cleaning summer homes, being a groundskeeper and moreover renting out rooms to all kinds of guests. So today we're going to talk about the Blue Hill Inn, in Blue Hill's Historic District.

The Blue Hill area has drawn rusticators and summer residents for more than a century. As an 1896 article in the Ellsworth American said, “Nobody ever visited Bluehill without wanting to go again and stay long.” With an increased summer population comes a seasonal housing demand, and Blue Hill has been home to several hotels and boarding houses over the years. The oldest such business today is the Blue Hill Inn. This Federal, 2 1/2 story house was built in 1830 by Edward Varnum Stevens, son of local blacksmith Theodore Stevens and Dorcas Osgood. Edward originally built the home to house his large family, but when he turned 65 years old he sold it to Haskell W. Hinckley in 1859, who ran it as an inn under the name of H.W. Hinckley Hotel.

Haskell and his wife, Fannie, ran it as the H.W. Hinckley Hotel until Haskell was drafted to fight in the Civil War. It was a popular place; sometimes, the house would draw more guests than it could hold, and late arrivals would stay in cottages or board with locals who had extra rooms. Fannie’s daughter, Francis Estella, ran the business after her mother, keeping the Bluehill House running until the late 1930s. For the next few Hinckley generations the house was run as an inn, then called the Blue Hill House. There was already a Blue Hill Inn on South Street, therefore the name had to be slightly different. Surprisingly for the time, many of the former deed holders were Hinckley women, who also ran the business side of operations as well.

Around the time of the Second World War, Maxwell R. Hinckley (part owner of Merrill & Hinckley store just down the road) acquired ownership of the Inn. He, with a group of businessmen and summer residents formed the Blue Hill Hotel Co. with Louise Frederick as Innkeeper. At this time, 1941, certain changes were made to the Inn’s interior, but the major interior decorating occurred when, in 1959, the house was sold to Ralph B. Warman. This was when the name of the Inn was changed to the Blue Hill Inn, as the original had burned down in 1933. The Warman’s made a new bedroom with a private bath by dividing the long dining room in two. On December 15, 1961, the couple sold the land to Conrad and Virginia Rupert, who furthered the property by buying the land between the Inn and the Town Hall. They cleared it, groomed it and planted more trees with the earnest desire that no building be placed there and instead be available for apple orchard fairs. The Blue Hill Inn has continued through the present day to be a place where travelers can stop and rest while exploring our lovely Peninsula.

If you have any stories or pictures that you want to share about this building or its inhabitants don’t hesitate to post them in the comments section. Next week, we're going to dive into more summery topics and if you have suggestions for future topics please don't hesitate to write them down below. Until then!

In honor of Memorial Day tomorrow, we are going to take a moment to honor those Blue Hill citizens that served and died in American conflicts. Originally called Decoration Day, this holiday began during the American Civil War when citizens began to place flowers on the graves of those soldiers killed in battle. Although the holiday didn’t become a national holiday until 1971, it became somewhat traditional ever since the American Civil War. In today’s post we would like to honor those that served and died in service of our country by sharing a story from the time of the holiday’s inception and two stories from a more recent conflict.

The American Civil War (1861-1865) is remembered today as the single bloodiest conflict to ever occur on US soil. Over the course of the four year conflict, over 70,000 Mainers served in the Union Army and Navy-- more men per capita than any other northern state. Amongst these men were George Butler, James Morse, Rodney Osgood, Alfred Osgood, Thomas Scott Osgood, and Sewell Snowman of Company D, 31st Maine Regiment. Together, these six men fought in the battles of Spotsylvania Courthouse and Cold Harbor, and participated in the Siege of Petersburg. Sewell Snowman was part of a group of sailors that witnessed the beginnings of the war brewing in South Carolina’s harbor:

“a posse of men with horses dragged four pieces of cannon onto the Pier of the New York Mail Steamer and when she arrived abreast of her Pier the mob ordered the Captain to have down the Stars and Stripes or they would fire. This demand was complied with, and the Steamer was allowed to come into her Pier, which was, I think the first open, wanton insult to the flag. Although it was late in January, the atmosphere was already too hot for my comfort, being reeking with treason and I booked passage in the last Northern Vessel in the Port bound North and in three days time arrived in New York City.”

Sewell and many other sailors were called back from their various coasting engagements to be called to service to defend the Union, a call which they heeded. Although many Maine Regiments fought in the Civil War, sons of this Peninsula also served in Massachusett Regiments. One such individual was John Edward Horton, serving as a Corporal in Co. E. of the 39th Massachusetts Infantry.

John Edward Horton was born on November 30, 1829 in Blue Hill Maine to parents John Horton and Sarah “Sally” Stover. John the son worked as a milkman until 1853, when he struck out to seek his fortune in California as a miner. John made a tiny profit of fifteen hundred dollars in one year and returned from California to marry Laura Webber in April of 1860. The family was living in Somerville, MA when the Civil War broke out, but Laura came to Blue Hill with their small son named Orrin during the conflict. This might have been a means to be closer to John’s family while he was serving. John E. Horton was captured by Confederate soldiers and taken to C.S. Military Prison in Richmond, Virginia and from there to Salisbury, North Carolina. Many Civil War Prisoners of War were put into horrendous living conditions in these prisons, mainly as a result of lack of resources being funneled to them. John writes of regularly suffering from dehydration and selling his possessions to eat meager meals. Despite this, John’s health continued to decline while imprisoned and died from malnutrition in 1865. Disease was the main killer of these brave young men. Thomas Osgood, a Blue Hill Native and member of the 26th Maine, had lost 34 soldiers in combat, but 134 from disease. Thomas himself didn’t escape from the conflict unscathed, taking a gunshot wound to his right foot in the Battle of Petersburg.

Although soldiers like John Horton didn’t make it home, their “last full measure of devotion” was remembered by surviving comrades who would gather at Wilford Grindle Cottage on Water Street in Blue Hill. Many of these men were a part of a fraternal organization called the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), which sought to link these men who had been through the experience of war. Brought together, these men became one of the first advocacy groups in American politics, supporting voting rights to black veterans and helping support comrades that had been disabled in battle. The GAR had fully dissolved by the time of World War 2, but it’s ideals of service carried onwards.

The December 7, 1941 bombing on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese pulled the United States out of the stagnation of the Great Depression (1929-1939), and thrust it into the international turmoil of World War Two (1939-1945). The United States deployed over 16 million servicemen and women to both fronts. Of these 16 million servicemen and women, over 80,000 were from Maine. In addition to manpower, Maine also provided the Navy with more than a quarter of the ships in the Pacific theatre. Many men and women served their country proudly during this conflict, serving right on the front lines in all aspects of the conflict.

Lawrence Sperling Grindle was born on January 23rd, 1918 to Lewis S. Grindle and Florence E. Grindle (nee Leach). Lewis was a caretaker of an estate, a jack of trades and Florence was a laundress and ran a laundry from their home. Lawrence was a painter, semi-skilled at construction and maintenance - most likely skills gained from his father. Lawrence served as a 2nd Lieutenant, Cannon Company, 378th Infantry, 95th Infantry Division, U.S. Army during World War II. His infantry was put right into the thick of it, participating in an offensive to Saarland,Germany. The area was rich in coal and coke, which supported the steel industry and factories there. These companies were essential for the production of munitions for the N**i Party, so after liberating Paris, Lawrence’s regiment were to assist the French in taking Saarland. Sadly, Lawrence was killed in action during this offensive, but was just one part of the final push to Berlin - eventually leading to the end of the War. He is buried in Seaside Cemetery and was awarded the Purple Heart for his bravery in combat.

In the Pacific Theater against Japan, a grueling trek of Island Hopping required expert Seamen and Navigators - which the sons of Maine had in spades. Franklin Smith Wescott was the son of Charles F. Wescott Jr. and Belle Tapley Smith. Charles Wescott was the local blacksmith and plied his trade from the Forge, which is currently the home to Blaze in Blue Hill Maine. Franklin graduated from George Stevens Academy and then from the Coburn Classical Institute. He was employed by Norton Company in Worcester Massachusetts manufacturing abrasives or grinders to help support the growing needs of production. In 1943, Franklin entered the Army Air Forces and received basic training in Greensboro, North Carolina where he trained as a Flight Officer with a specificity in Navigation. When he graduated from the program, he was ordered to New Guinea on December 23, 1944 to the 529th Squadron, 380th Bomb Group Fifth Air Force. Sadly, Franklin was killed over the Mindoro Island of the Philippines in August 1945. He was awarded a Citation of Honor and Presidential Citation for his dedication to his country. Franklin is buried in Seaside Cemetery, Blue Hill as well.

Blue Hill has been the home for many brave men and women throughout the generations, some being able to come home and others giving their all for their home. While we have so many more stories of brave citizens that served and returned that we could share, we wanted to focus on the ones that didn’t come home as we observe Memorial Day this year. While walking in Seaside Cemetery, I found an epitaph that really spoke to this gentle remembrance of those that didn’t make it home, on the grave of a Civil War soldier, Charles T. Peters it reads:

“Rest comrade, rest and sleep/ Life’s onward march is done/ Our hearts thy memory will keep/ Till we thy rest have won”

So take a moment tomorrow to remember those that didn’t come home yet fought for the home we are able to have today. Thank you for following along with today’s post, we shall see you in the next one. Be well, dear readers.

Another lovely Sunday has come along in the Merry Month of May and our writer wanted to let our readers know that our Walking Tour Post will be uploaded on May 31st as we herald into the open season for the Historical Society. Meanwhile, today’s post is inspired by the lovely spurt of weather we’ve been having the last couple of days: Gardening & Landscaping

Many years ago, the Blue Hill Historical Society put on an exhibition regarding the landscaping pursuits of the 19th century townsfolk. Blue Hill is a beautiful location and much of the reason behind that has been a combination between careful cultivation and letting certain plants simply go wild. However, by the 1900s, people began to engage more heavily with the pastime of flower gardening. Two prominent houses on Union Street, which were known for their affluent nature, were the Chase House and the Stevens house and at different points in time they bloomed with lilacs, a shrub rose or clumps of ferns or tansy. Specifically the Chase House offers some fine images in town memory with its white trellis surrounded by flowers of pink and purple. Eliza Ann Chase, Grandmother of Mary Ellen Chase, spent her days regaling her grandchildren with tales of her adventurous life in that garden. In the late years of her life, Eliza Ann insisted on bringing flowers to her husbands’ grave who had passed away in 1884.

In the beginning, Eliza Ann brought the flowers from her own garden - however as she grew older her time in the garden became more and more limited. According to some family stories, Eliza Ann had such confidence that on the way to Seaside Cemetery she would weave through the houses on Main Street, plucking flowers from other people’s gardens along the way. The citizens of Blue Hill alerted her son, Edward Everett Chase, to her thefts and Edward (with goodies baked by his wife in hand) went from door to door to apologize for his mother’s behavior. Eliza however seemed unbothered by the affair and Edward seemed to take it in stride.

Of more permanence than a garden - both houses and many along Union and Pleasant Street also invested in leaded pane over doors and trellis archways snaked with ivy. Also, several Blue Hill residents also cultivated on their property “avenues” of trees in a similar fashion to English estate drives. Specifically many residents chose to plant elms or young maples, specifically rock maple in the case of the road along Jonathan Fisher’s House. It was also a New England custom to plant apple trees along field boundaries and there was evidence of such planting in town along Main Street. It is thought that apple trees predated the elms that once stood along the west boundary of the Holt House. This would have been a logical assumption given that Thomas Jefferson Napoleon Bonaparte Holt (Nap) frequently won awards for “largest Pumpkin Sweet apples” at the Blue Hill Fair several times over.

By the mid-1930’s the Blue Hill Garden Club held its first meeting of 107 members in attendance. Since then, the club has encouraged the growing and landscape of flowers throughout the village. The flower boxes for the bridge, the Town Park and the Elm Tree Fund to save the elm trees from their blight are just some examples of their works to beautify the town overall early on. Yet more people work in the modern day to support the art of gardening and landscape on our Peninsula, including Mainescape and The Bagaduce Music’s Native Garden Project among many professional landscapers.

In honor of Mother’s Day, we would like to highlight some of the wonderful mothers of the Blue Hill Peninsula. Often we talk about the story of this small village through the lens of the famous men that have engaged in the shipping or granite industry, but the women of this region had adventures of their own all while raising their families.

We will begin by highlighting our very own Holt Family, specifically Elizabeth Holt. Elizabeth “Betsy” Holt (1785-1858), daughter of Joseph and Bailey Osgood, married Jermiah Thordike Holt (1781- ) in 1808. She lived in the couple’s Federal-style home, built in 1815, where Betsy raised their four children here: Julia Ann (1812-1861), Jeremiah Thorndike Jr. (1817-1898), Frederic Alex (1821-) and Thomas Jefferson Napoleon Holt (1827-1903). The couple had strong hopes for their children and this can be seen by a small pair of children's shoes that was found inside the wall of the 1815 home when volunteers at the Historical Society were repairing plaster. A common thing to do for good luck and fortunate when finishing a home. From all accounts, Betsy embraced the work of the household, rearing the children and teaching them the skills befitting the period, including both needlework and cooking by use of a hearth fire. This continued for some years, until Jermiah’s death and suddenly Betsy needed to shift gears.

Jeremiah had built the large brick building next door to the Holt House on Water Street, running a shipping store with his brother Jonah. When Jermiah died in 1832, there were 40 kegs of rum left in store of the “Brick Block”, so his ever industrious wife Elizabeth, ran a tavern/hotel called the “Mansion House” or “Traveller’s Home” out of the space. For many years, a swinging sign suspended from a post in front stood announcing its purpose to locals and guests alike, serving as the only tavern/hotel for many years in the village. Elizabeth carried on the “Mansion House” until the marriage of her youngest son, Thomas Jefferson Napoleon Bonaparte (Nap) Holt to Clarissa E. Peters on Aug.6, 1851. Betsy continued to live in the home with her son, passing on her knowledge of running a household to Clarissa and onwards through her to her grandchildren.

Another industrious and yet more fierce mother of Blue Hill was Eliza Ann Wescott. Eliza was born in Penobscot, Maine on April 3rd, 1826. She was the eldest daughter of John and Elizabeth (Lowell) Wescott, and as the first child, she grew up caring for her younger siblings and helping on her family’s farm by churning butter and milking cows. Eliza grew up quickly in such a setting, and by 15, she was a practicing midwife in Penobscot village and the surrounding areas. Eliza was known to walk around the village in those days without wearing shoes, wanting to save the soles since her family had little means, but she loved to do so in her own sense of self-expressed freedom.

Eliza Ann married Melatiah at the Congregational Church in Blue Hill and the couple spent 12 years sailing around the world together. The Chases had four children, three daughters and one son. Sadly, both their eldest Abby and their 2nd born, Annie Eliza, died quite young. However, her youngest daughter Minnie Chase and her son Edward Everett both being raised with a firmness yet a support of their curiosity. Minnie in fact was deafened by an accident and despite this, Eliza Ann made no note of it and supported her daughter’s involvement in Church programs and the local Sewing Circle. Eliza’s only son, Edward Everett Chase attended Hallowell Classical Institute and Bowdoin College to become a lawyer whose office was the second floor of the Merrill & Hinckley store, which his father had built years prior. Edward maintained contact with his mother, including a letter on Jan. 15 1894 which reads:

Dear Mother,
Not having heard from you for a couple of weeks, and as the last was that you were sick, we are somewhat worried about you, but they say that "no news is not bad news", or something like it. We suppose that you are better but should like to hear from you. I go to court tomorrow- have a couple cases for trial, one before jury. Business is dull just now. Mr. and Mrs. Spofford are coming here today to spend the night. No news. All are well.
Yours,
Ed

Eliza spent the rest of her days regaling her grandchildren with tales of her adventurous life. In the late years of her life, Eliza Ann insisted on bringing flowers to her husbands’ grave who had passed away in 1884. In the beginning, Eliza Ann brought the flowers from her own garden - however as she grew older her time in the garden became more and more limited. According to some family stories, Eliza Ann had such confidence that on the way to Seaside Cemetery she would weave through the houses on Main Street, plucking flowers from other people’s gardens along the way. The citizens of Blue Hill alerted her son, Edward Everett Chase, to her thefts and Edward (with goodies baked by his wife in hand) went from door to door to apologize for his mother’s behavior. Eliza however seemed unbothered by the affair and Edward seemed to take it in stride.

Our last mother is Emma G. Osgood, a working woman that was instrumental in early Blue Hill history’s means to stay connected. Emma G. Osgood was born on December 17th 1866 in Blue Hill. She was the middle child of Edward Randolph Osgood and Elizabeth Jane Arnold. Emma Osgood married Frank A. Lincoln Stover in 1885, when she was 19 years old. Together the two had six children. Interestingly enough, Emma Osgood was a working woman of the 1800s. Emma Osgood went to Boston at the age of 22 to learn the art of dressmaking, which she put to full use alongside her mother in business as L.J. Osgood & Co on Main Street. Lizzie ran the dry and fancy goods side of the business, while Emma worked primarily in millinery. It is also known that she was an active member of the Church and was the Librarian for the Ladies’ Social Library (precursor of the Blue Hill Library).

Furthermore, she was the telephone switchboard operator of Blue Hill in 1893. The switchboard was put in “The Dunn Block” by Western Union Telegraph Office, today this is the building next to Sandy’s Cafe. This being the same building that housed Emma and her mother’s business and thus it made sense for the store owner to operate the switchboard. However, Emma Osgood was well known for ignoring the ringing of the switchboard in favor of working on women’s hats in her storefront. This was particularly vexing for the Pendleton House workers, who could see her across the street actively ignoring the telephone. Emma was known for being unapologetically herself, stating what was on her mind right in the moment without fail.

This Peninsula has been and continues to be a place where fierce, even-tempered and great Mothers continue to raise the next generation of young Mainers. So we wish all Mothers a most happy of all Mother’s Day - both to those with us and those that are not. Take a page out of Betsy’s, Eliza’s and Emma’s book and seize the day full force with care of family in your heart. Until next time!

As we enter into May, our writer wants to let our readers know that we will be recording a Walking Tour - but due to weather progress has been impeded. However, in the meantime, we wanted to take a minute to highlight a variety of topics. Today, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we wanted to focus on the various ways that Education had left its mark on the young and old alike in the Blue Hill Area. Specifically, we wanted to take a moment to focus on a teacher who was both impactful as an educator and super involved in the local community: Lilla Bowden.

Lilla McIntire. was born to Harvey MacIntye and Isabella Cochran in 1887 and was one of several girls within her family. When she was young, Lilla attended the South Street district school and attended that school for eight years. She recalls the school being on a ledge, but was near a large field (likely the Clough field, where Dunkin Donuts and Subway has been built since) perfect for playing games. One of Lilla’s teachers that stood out was Nellie Douglass, who we began this series with. She recalls Miss Douglas’ lessons on Bible study, parliamentary law and poetry. After graduating the South Street school, Lilla attended George Stevens Academy and was the valedictorian of the class of 1904 at GSA. She went to Castine Normal School, attended Bates College and the University of Maine.

Originally, Lilla found herself teaching in Westborough in Massachusetts - but when coming home for a visit met a young man who caught her eye. She married Chandler Hale Bowden (1882-1955) of Sedgwick in Blue Hill on October 28, 1919 and began to teach at Sedgwick High School until the birth of their daughter, Rebecca M. Bowden (1924-2006). Even with the birth of her daughter, during the summers Lilla would tutor summer children and taught Sunday School at the Baptist Church frequently. As Lilla, at the age of 97 said, “My whole life really has been teaching.”

When Rebecca, Lilla’s daughter, came of age Lilla returned full force to teaching both in Elementary and Secondary Education. She was principal of the Consolidated School for 10 years, then she taught at George Stevens Academy for 3 years and was often called to substitute at the Academy. Lilla taught for 40-years and taught until she was 70-years old.

Even when retirement came along, Lilla wasn’t idle in her activities and dedicated herself further towards her community. She was involved in several organizations including the Blue Hill Garden Club, the Four Town Nursing Service, the Baptist Church as well as the Historical Society and the Jonathan Fisher House. Reading was a task that Lilla Bowden really devoured and cherished, always wanting new ideas and to “fill her mind with good things.” In 1982, she was named Women of the Year and was honored for all her contributions to the local area with an award, the event being captured in the Ellsworth American. Lilla passed away on June 26, 1986 at the age of 99-years - a life full of a vigor for learning, for teaching and for helping. We wanted to thank our local educators for their extraordinary show of commitment to our students, which enriches our community all the more . Thank you!

We invite our readers to take a moment and make any comments on this story and we thank you for joining us for this post today. If you have ideas for content that you would like to see us write about, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below. Until next time!

For the rest of April, we will be taking some time to prepare for our Walking Tour video, which won the vote at the end of our Punchard Posts. In the meantime, we’re going to highlight some of the various holidays or celebrations that come with the month of April. Today’s post will focus on National Poetry Month, which has been celebrated in April since 1996. It’s a celebration that highlights the cultural impact of Poetry as a literary art form. We’ll be taking a specific look at how this intertwines with the Blue Hill Community.

Blue Hill is host to many in the Arts and has been a source of inspiration for many in the literary and fine arts community since even the beginning. However, through all the professional and claimed artists and writers, there has always just been an undercurrent of creativity in all aspects of the Peninsula. For example, the Grist Mill along the Mill Stream was memorialized by Town legend with a short poem: “Blue Hill is a pretty town/It’s built quite near a hill/And through it runs a rapid stream/That runs the Osgood mill.” Or even, more specifically, just within the confines of the simple yearbook, “The Mountain Echo” from George Stevens Academy.

Since its incorporation in 1891 and the subsequent construction of its main teaching space in 1897, George Steven Academy has been creating scrapbooks or autograph albums (now known as a yearbook) called the Mountain Echo. Much of the books themselves were curated by the students themselves, with seniors getting special mentions throughout the books. Each “Mountain Echo” is as distant as the student body for that decade was - but a consistent theme can be found throughout them. Like many high schools of the era, “The Mountain Echo” is littered with examples of the literary works of the students – both those that were English classes at the time and those that simply just enjoyed the practice of poetry, short stories, or essay writing.

The tradition of scrapbooks in schools began in the 17th - 18th century in New England, which frequently contained handwritten poems, dried flowers, sketches, notes between friends, musical notations, and newspaper articles. The arrangements were also personalized, but it became such a hard kept trend that many refer to these as “proto-yearbooks”. By the 19th and 20th century, the craft had developed into more formal and self-published books with poetry being high on the list of things highlighted within. The poems could be at times both flowery and lyrical and at other times satirical and personal.

The Historical Society has a great collection of “Mountain Echos” from years gone by, with each year reflecting the era in a variety of different ways. In the years during the First World War and the Second World War, the “Mountain Echo” made special note and deference to those young men and women who were in the armed service. The books also serve as an archive of the various business and organizational entities that existed in the Blue Hill Area, as ads from uncountable businesses rest in the back half of the book, reflecting the support of the young people’s enterprise. Lastly, the” Mountain Echos” each give you a brief glimpse into the people of that day – from the photos to the short poems about each senior to the writings of each student. If you are swinging by the Historical Society this summer, please don’t hesitate to check out our collection as it offers a unique opportunity to glimpse back the curtain to the past. For now, pull up a chair with a nice warm beverage, and enjoy the literary stylings of the young adults of the early 20th century.
