Appleton, Maine - Gushee Photographs 1900
Edith H. Gushee, daughter of Dr. Frank Gushee and Frances Bickford Gushee, was born in Appleton in 1879 and died there in 1916. She went to Appleton schools and to Castine Normal School. She taught in various Maine and Mass schools. When she was told she had diabetes, which was then incurable, she came home to die in the Gushee Homestead in 1914. She pursued her long time hobby of photography and started one of the very early Campfire groups. These old glass negatives show her love of the area around her home, then called McLain's Mills, and of the family and the house built by her grandfather Alwood Gushee, Jr. and now owned (in 1984) by the Spenser Knowlton family. (From Marie Hammond's note, Sept. 3, 1984.)
