 | Photograph Helen Field Dunn, WWI Nurse Helen Field Dunn was born in Augusta in 1887 to Major Edward P. Dunn and Helen Field of Whitefield, the fourth of seven children. She was a registered nurse who graduated from Sanford Hospital and worked in Maine until World War I began raging in Europe. In 1917, she volunteered as a nurse in the Harvard Unit formed in Boston. The United States had not yet declared war on Germany and the Harvard Unit went to England as part of the British Expeditionary Force. This unit received special commendations from the Queen of England. Dunn served in England and France throughout the war and returned to the United States after the armistice.
While working as a Red Cross nurse in the Boston area, she earned her bachelor's degree in Public Health Nursing and worked for many years in the field as a Red Cross disaster nurse. Dunn served as a field supervisor and district director in Washington D.C., before returning to Maine to head the public health nurses under the then Maine Department of Health and Welfare. After her retirement, Dunn served on many boards and committees, including the Maine Committee on Aging, the Senior Core of Retired Executives, and the American Red Cross. She was instrumental in reorganizing the Augusta Board of Health to increase the Public Nursing Health Program. Helen Field Dunn died in 1980 at the age of 93. |

 | Photograph of Fields and Larkins? This photograph is of three couples, a single man on the right, and two kids sitting on the grass. The older couple on the left we think is either Alice (Field) Hanley and her husband George Hanley or Helen Field and Edward Patrick (the "Major") Dunn. One of the younger couples, perhaps the one in the middle, we believe is Francis and Kathryn Larkin. The other couple, and the single gentleman on the right, are unknown. The children are unknown, as well, but we believe the one on the left may be Margaret Dunn (daughter of Helen and Edward) and one of her sisters (Annie, Helen or Agnes).

 | Photograph of Helen Elizabeth (Bucking) Williams at Christmas in 1985. This is one of my favorite photos of my maternal grandmother, who we knew as "Nana" and who lived with us in Middletown, CT for 17 years. This photo is in our dining room after Christmas dinner in 1985. Formal dinner with the whole family always seemed like a special occasion, even though we did it frequently. They were the best of times. |

 | St. Denis stone rectory (side view). This is a side view of the stone rectory behind St. Denis Church in Whitefield, ME. From this angle it appears to be nearly identical to the side of our family farmhouse. (See next photo.) The interior of the rectory is in many respects a miniature version of our family farmhouse. We know from church records that the rectory was built in 1851 or 1852, when Father Putnam was pastor. We do not know when our family farmhouse was built, but given the close similarities between it and the rectory it seems likely they were both built during the same period and by the same person(s). |

 | The farm in 1948 Two things about this picture are interesting, in addition to the fact that it is the only photo we have from this era. The first is the dirt road visible in the foreground. That is Vigue Road in Whitefield, ME. I remember it as a dirt road when I was a boy but it has long since been paved. The second is the area directly behind the barn portion of the house, which appears to be an out-building of some sort; if so, it was removed prior to my childhood. |

 | The farm in the 1960s. I like this photo because it focuses on the summer kitchen. We would enter through the black screen door that slammed shut quickly and firmly in a futile attempt to keep mosquitos out. There was a table in the center of the room, armchairs in the two corners on the left, a Hoosier cabinet against the far wall, and a stove on the right. People would gather for food, cards and conversation. I recall getting ready to go home (first to Bath, ME and later to Middletown, CT) and looking out the screen door across the dirt road to the high grass with a white farmer's wheel, the woods, and the setting sun. |

 | The Ice House in 1989. Before electricity came to Whitefield (and with it refrigeration) the generations living at the farm stored ice in this small structure. The front door hung on a rail and was opened by sliding the door to the side. Immediately inside was a small ante-room about six or eight feet deep in which were stored farming implements, such as rakes and shovels. A wall separated the ante-room and the rear portion of the building in which ice was stored. That rear portion was about six feet below grade with a dirt floor and stone walls. Ice would be stacked from the floor to the grade, with the stone walls forming a natural encasement to prevent the ice from melting. |

 | The Ice House in the summer, probably in the 1970s. Before electricity (and with it refrigeration) came to Whitefield the generations living at the farm stored ice in this small structure. Sliding the front door, which hung on a rail, to the left led one into a small ante-room about six or eight feet deep in which tools, such as rakes and shovels, were stored. A wall separated the ante-room from the rear portion of the building in which ice was stored; an opening in the wall, directly in line with the front door, allowed one to access the rear portion of the ice house. The rear portion was about six feet below grade with a dirt floor and stone walls from the floor to grade level. Ice blocks were stacked from the floor to the grade, with the stone walls and a layer of hay on top of the ice forming a natural encasement to prevent the ice from melting. |
