June 1, 2013
Condolences go to to the family of
Barbara Libby of Columbia who passed away May 29, 2013. Around forty family and
friends attended the service for Barbara at the Wescogus Cemetery in Addison on
Sunday afternoon.
Get well wishes go out to the
following folks: Eve Alley of Addison, Jason Carroll of Columbia, Huddy
Peterson of Harrington and Mary Farnsworth of Cherryfield.
I have been working on the calendar
for the Pleasant River Historical Society quite a lot this past week. Some think that it is easy to do but I have
had to do some research on the pictures that I am using and then fixing them so
they will print out better for the calendar. I also have received some more
photos of the area to use in the calendar that have been posted on my groups
from Ernest MacLauchlan formerly of Addison.
It is really interesting connecting on Facebook and learning more about
the history of Addison through photos that are being posted.
This past week Alan & Peggy
Tabbut of Wisconsin was in the area doing research on the Tabbutt line. They
stayed at the Llama Farm in Addison where I had a nice visit with them one evening.
I sent them home with some Maine goodies for them to try. I knew them only
through Facebook until I met up with them here in Addison. It felt like I had
known them for year. Now I hear that another Facebook friend William Wallace
Tabbot of Spartanburg, South Carolina will be coming to Addison to do some
research on the Tabbot line at the end of June. I hope to be able to meet up
with him while he is in the area.
There seems to be a lot of
conversations on my genealogies groups: Pleasant River Historical Society Group,
Washington County Pleasant River Group, and the Washington County Historical
Genealogical Society Group. I am pleased that a lot of local photos of Addison
are popping up and more and more of my ‘friends’ in the genealogy world are
connecting. So much fun to connect with them and help them find out more
information on their ancestors.
