I meet my cousins in the 1990s who still own the house that Susan lived her married life at in Corinna, Maine. When they remodeled the house , they found two letters from Susan to her sister dated 1865 as well as her teacher's certificate from the town of Anson, dated 1856. No one had known she was a teacher in the years after school and her marriage in 1868. The letters and certificate were found inside the wals of the house. We assume they may have been considered not important and stuffed in the walls for insulation. This is great to know she was teaching as late as 1859.

Here's an email for the Anson Historical society: quint@tdstelme.net You could also try the Maine Historical Society at http://www.mainehistory.org If you find something, I hope that you can find your way back here to report it. Good luck!Pam Beveridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272409581983333836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-50349183390520618252014-01-08T07:28:08.973-08:002014-01-08T07:28:08.973-08:00Hello, I came across this post while trying to res...Hello, I came across this post while trying to research a bit on a house I'm hopefully going to be purchasing. Thru an old map and a book on Embden/North Anson history I've discovered that the house was in 1860 the property of a William Gamage who's daughter Sarah Gamage was a "schoolmarm" in 1860 at a school house just up the road. Do you know of any more information on the North Anson area that might tell me more about them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
