      Marsha Eldredge, February 15, 1994:

      "My grandfather, Edgar Bryant Dolbier, came to Newton, Mas
      sachusettsaround 1890. The Stanley brothers, also from Kingfield, had opened a dryplate plant (photography) there. That's a long story in itself. Edgar'sbrother, Nathan B., also brought his family down to Newton for the samereason. They settled in and Edgar married Adelaide McCammon. They hadseven children, six boys and one daughter. Out of the seven, five hadchildren, eight girls and three boys.

      "All of my uncles and aunt stayed right in the greater Boston area and wewere a close family. Now my cousins are scattered. With the exceptionof two, most are still here in New England. It was my uncle's and aunt'sstories about Kingfield and verbal histories of ancestors that promptedthis whole search."
