SUMMARY:Childhood Memories Featured at March DRHS Program
DESCRIPTION:Ellen Lincoln Matthew’s recollections of growing up in Dennysville\, Maine\,\nare the subject of the Dennys River Historical Society’s monthly program\non Tuesday\, March 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Lincoln Memorial Public Library.\nCalled “Nellie” by her family\, she was born in 1906 and published her\nreminisces in a small book entitled Childhood Memories in 1989 for her\nchildren and grandchildren. Her well-written and delightfully informative\naccount vividly recalls her childhood on the Lincoln Farm\, rebuilt by her\ngrandfather Dr. Albert Lincoln\, a Civil War surgeon who turned country\ndoctor. \nHer winsome descriptions of the place are easily recognizable to this\nday: “A cedar lane\, with occasional maples on both sides approximately an\neighth of a mile long led up to our house…. There was no heat upstairs\, but\nregisters over the dining room stove and kitchen stove helped to heat the\ntwo rooms directly over them…. Snow would sometimes sift through the\nwidows.” \nStories of everyday activities\, washing\, cleaning\, schooldays and farm\nwork\, interspersed with special events such as Memorial Day\, picnics\,\nThanksgiving and Christmas\, connect the past to the present. Of the\nholidays she wrote: “November\, of course\, was Thanksgiving. We always\nhad roast chicken and sometimes roast goose with all the farm vegetables\,\nand of course wonderful pies\, apple\, squash\, pumpkin\, and mincemeat—all\nhomemade\, of course.” Of Christmas she says\, “It was very simple\, but\nnothing can match the magic of that time. \nThe presentation at the Dennysville Library will be illustrated with\npictures provided by her daughter\, DRHS member Priscilla Swanson\, now\nliving in Connecticut. The public is welcome. For more details\, please call\nthe Historical Society at (207) 726-3905.
