| Douglas and Donald Macfarlan, cover page from Philadelphia Medicine, A Century of Service, Volume 57, No. 22, June 2, 1961. Caption: "The red brick building at 1805 Chestnut Street has been a doctor’s office for ninety-one years. Malcom Macfarlan (1841-1921), a young Scottish immigrant, graduate of Yale and regimental medical officer with the 6th Maine Cavalry in the Alabama campaign (Civil War), came to Philadelphia with his bride, set up his office on Chestnut Street and proceeded to raise a family. Malcom’s two braw bairns, Donald, now 76, and Douglas, now 74, are shown on our cover this week examining the certificate of appreciation given each of them on May 10, 1961 by admiring fellow-practioners. They, with thirty-five other kindred spirits (see page 675), were honored for having practiced medicine in Philadelphia for fifty long years." (Douglas Macfarlan was Michael J. Macfarlan's father shown with his brother Donald. The Macfarlans purchased the historic Preble house on GCI from Louise Marr.) |

| 2016.356.2121 | Collection of four books from the Mountain house |
|
| Books, collection of four. (A) List of Merchant Vessels of the United States 1893 with illustrations and excellent information. (B) List of Merchant Vessels of the United States 1887. (C) The Island of Mount Desert Register - no date visible, but probably 1910. Book includes a chapter of history of Cranberry Isles, page 97. Many newspaper clippings from 1930s to 1960s glued to inside front book jacket and initial pages including obituaries, Cranberry Isles and Mount Desert news, shipwrecks and life savers, the firebug article etc. One black and white photo of the Mountain house before the fire. Obituary clippings include: Clara S. Alley Feb. 26, 1965; Gilbert Hadlock; Wilbert Rice; Mrs. Herbert Bell; Almenia Lurvey; Thomas M. Stanley; Charles Hulbert; Capt. William Bulger dies eleven days after his brother 1927; Mary Ann Carroll; Sim H. Mayo; Oscar Jarvis; Fred Phippen; Capt. Thomas Newman; Mrs. John Carroll; Otis Sawtelle; and Harvey Stanley; Also a handwritten list of the John Stanley, Jr. and wife Margaret family starting 1789 through 1842. Receipt from Strawbridge & Clothier for Mrs. Mabel Stanley no year. Info on Ellen Maria Spurling b. 1842 died 1929 and children. Note about Sam Chapman b. 1868 and Cora Chapman b. 1863. (Color photocopies made of articles and stored with book (C).) (D) "At Mount Desert: A Summer's Sowing" by Mildred Fairfax, copyright Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, 1893. “At Mount Desert,” by Mildred Fairfax, is in many respects a peculiarly attractive book. A defect of many stories is that they almost leave out the scenery, but it is not so in this instance. The tale itself is deeply interesting, with its young man gone astray, its good-angel sister, and its fortune lost and plotted for, but the writer is evidently in love with all the scenic effects of sea and sky and land along the rugged Maine coast, and at Mount Desert. There would be almost too much word-painting if it were not for the admirable half-tone photographic views which serve as illustrations. They become part of the narrative, and give it a realism not otherwise attainable.” (See www.ebay.com/itm/1893-At-Mount-Desert-Island-by-Mildred-Fairfax-A-Summers-Sowing-8-Plates-/322180352978). |
