Shown in the photograph above are parents William Ezra Brownell and Blanche Winifred (Haven) Brownell and three of their children, left to right: Mildred Brownell; Fayette Haven Brownell and Beulah Winifred Brownell.
Beulah's husband Lloyd Bailey Scott of Webster, Maine, is shown below, as a child with his brother George Kenneth Scott and as a young man, in photographs taken by the G. B. Weller studio of Brunswick, Maine, and the Ray studio of Lewiston, Maine.
One of the photographs shows Devil's Den, an interesting geological formation on Sabattus Mountain, near the border of Sabattus, Maine, and Wales, Maine. An interesting description of Devil's Den is contained in an article by Edith Labbie in the November 8, 1975 edition of the Lewiston [Maine] Evening Journal. A reader has sent a link to an article in an April 2012 newsletter for employees of Lewiston [Maine] Public Works that shows several photographs of the cave, including this one; the men are identified as J. Boucher and Preston Smith.
