| 2013.243.1941 | Towns Family Slides |
|
| Photos. Slides, 223 total including 35 glass slides. Images donated by the Towns family of GCI: family, friends, homes, landscapes, and seascapes taken over decades. Five slides imprinted 1958; four possibly SEP1974; one 1991. Several handwritten lists of people and places were included with donation but can no longer be tied to individual slides. All slides have been digitally scanned in high resolution (see 2000\photos\dorothy towns). The Towns family are summer residents on GCI. The Towns property is also known historically as the Bayview Farm, the Red House, and the Crosby farm. (The slides are stored in a binder, grouped by brand names and numbers imprinted on individual slides: Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Ansco Color, Pavelle, and Mercury, in hopes slide technology might date these slides. Glass slide projectors in use ca. 1930s-1950s. (See also collection of Towns slides ca. 1960s-70s in 2014.269.2005; and other Towns photos in collection.) |

| 1000.0.1020 | Ada Bunker Rice on horse May Ann |
|
| Printed picture for display in museum of Ada Bunker Rice on her horse May Ann. Ada's sister Leona also had a horse named Daisy. Annie Alley told an anecdote that one time during the Spring she couldn't remember what year, the horse May Ann got really sick and couldn't even stand up. A vet told the family that a vaporizer would help and Annie let them borrow hers. It helped tremendously and the next day the horse was able to stand again. Both of the horses were retired race horses and when they came to the island in the 1930's it was the first time either of them had been near or seen cars. Both horses are buried on the right side of The Point across from the apple trees. |
