I
found an old post card from my uncle to his mother that
told about this camping trip. It was mailed from Greenfield,
NH but I don't know if that is where these pictures were
taken or not. The card was dated 1914. My father was a boy
scout--Ernest V. Page. I think his older brother Ivo C.
Page was the scout master.

. Boucher's
Tea Room and Banquet Services (caterers) was located at
907 Union Street in Manchester NH (I believe it the current

by Mrs. Germain Boucher around 1953. She had previously
run a catering business as early as 1933 from her home at
119 West Merrimack Street.

Pandora Mill - Bill Cote's grandma worked here. It's also
his favorite and the only vacant mill in the Yard. Plans
are calling for a possible luxury hotel. It used to have
a large "Home of Pandora Sweaters" sign, that
was a local landmark
|
The
"valley" of Valley Cemetery. "It used to
be a popular place to visit/picnic/hangout. But after taking
a walk around and down to the valley...I was truly impressed.
I just wish I could've seen it in all it's grandeur, with
the stream and gazebo and all. I'm happy that the city and
a citizen group have taken steps to refurbish and bring
the cemetery back to glory." (Bill Cote)
|
The
City Tomb. This is where they used to store the bodies of
people who died in the middle of winter when the ground
froze. Now it's where they put stones toppled by vandals.
|
The
view of the Fredrick Smyth tomb from the valley (in Valley
Cemetery). "100 years ago there would have been a stream
and a gazebo in view right in front of where I was standing...well,
about." (Bill Cote)
|
Steps
leading to the valley in Valley Cemetery. "...a lot
more work than they appear to be...especially going back
up!" (Bill Cote)
|
"So
sad. I've read the stories about the vandalism, yet when
I drive by at night, all the gates are still open. Someone's
not doing their job." (Bill Cote)
