Joseph married Phebia RUSSELL about 1822. Phebia was born in 1803 in Litchfield, Kennebec, ME and died after 1880

in Dover, Piscataquis, ME.

1880 Dover, Piscataquis, ME Census 108/111: Phebe Cosen, mother, age 73 ME-3, living in household of

Oliver Stinneford. Cannot find the Cosen name anywhere in census indexes except for this 1880 mention.

There is a Cousens family in MOCA's "Old Cemetery" in Abbott. Cousens is a big family in York County

and Wells. Phebe Cousens not found in 1860 census or 1870. Just plain Phebe in Piscataquis Co does not find

this Phebe either. No Phebe Russell in Wells VR book. She would have married him probably after 1840

and he would have died before 1880. Dau Lydia's D/C says Phebe was b Stetson and her father b Dover.

Litchfield VR book p66: Died May the 22nd day AD 1805 Rachel Russell wife to Daniel Russell the doctor.

Also p422. Perhaps this indicates the parents of Phebia. ??

1830 Bucksport census shows a William Staniford of wrong age for this family (age 50-60, wife 30-40; THIS could

be the one born in Ipswich 1777). Bucksport VR has marr of William Staniford & Rachel Cottle in 1821; son William

just so we don't "re-discover" the family and try to fit them in here.

William's 1809 Birthdate is from Wells VR, though it does not exactly match census records:

northern part of Maine near Mt. Katadin. He married an Indian squaw of the Abanaki tribe and spent the rest of his

life in Maine. [Unfortunately he is not specific as to whether this was his Stinneford g-father]. I do not know how

many children he had, but my grandfather [Joseph K] was born in Brownville, Me. He sired 8 children according to

my father but I only remember 6 names-Joseph, Joshua, Ora, Charles, Annie, and Clara. He died at the age of 92.

Piscataquis Observer has these two marriage notices that I had not come across before 6/21/2009: George H. Stineford

Thelma Barrows wrote in 1985 "According to my grandmother [Ella], she and her brothers and sisters had a hard life

growing up. They each were assigned jobs to do each week and had to do them. Uncle Roland was 7 when his mother

diied so the older ones took care of the younger. George left the family and married again. According to my mother

he went to Dover ME and is buried there. Grammy never talked much about her family. I knew all of them but

Laforest. I knew Alwilda, Achsah, Ellura and Roland when I lived in Waterville. When I moved to Guilford at age 9, I

got to know Mary and family real well in Greenville and used to go up there to visit. Wallace came across from

Wellington. Harold Bean gave me much of the family tree and takes care of the Hutchins cemetery as he is also

descended from George and Jane Trafton."

George married Data "Daty" Ann SPAULDING, daughter of Artemus SPAULDING and Mary DENNETT, 1 Aug

1852 in Foxcroft, Piscataquis, ME. Data was born in 1833 in Dover, Piscataquis, ME.

Brighton Plantation is a plantation in Somerset County, incorporated as the town of North Hill on June 20,

1816 from the township T2 R1 BKP. It changed its name to Brighton on January 29, 1827. The town ceded

land to Athens in 1838 and again in 1862. In 1895 Brighton surrendered its organization as a town and

reemerged with a simpler structure as a plantation. 2008 population is 86. The community is north of Athens

William O was born 19 Nov 1849 Harmony acc to death certificate info given by Mrs Ralph Crocker. 1860

census: age 9 (most likely correct). 1900 census: Nov 1852. From 1985 correspondence with Ardith Shaw

Thurlow of Winn ME 04495: William wrote himself in Ardith Shaw's birthday book that he was born 3 Nov

1852. He went to CA in the Gold Rush and had a ring made from his panned gold that Aunt Sadie [Crocker]

got. She gave it to my sister and when she died I don't know what became of it. She also had Uncle Will's

Bible, but there was no family info written in it. My parents moved Uncle Will in to live with us from

Garland and he was very hard to live with and after a few years went to live with Aunt Sadie. Mother has told

me that way back on the Stinneford side there was Indian blood. I went one time with mother to see Uncle

Walter. He lived in Sebec or Atkinson. I remember he had red hair."

Daily Whig & Courier Saturday July 26, 1879 "From Dexter" column, A Singular Freak of Nature.

A short time since I called upon a family living at Dover South Mills by the name of Stinneford. Mr &

Mrs S. have had a family of some half a dozen children, of whom all but two have grown to maturity and

some now have families of their own. Of these two the youngest, now eight years old, is a natural curiosity,

for he was born without eyes. He has eyebrows & eyelids, but there is nothing which indicates the presence

of eye-balls, or anything in the nature of eye-balls. Doctors who have seen this boy say that he has nothing

whatever in the nature of an eye organism. There are slight openings between the lids, but they are apparently

not more than a quarter - and perhaps not more than an eighth as long as they would be for the natuural

eyes. The little fellow is perfect in every other respect and is an unusually bright boy. He has a very correct

musical ear, and also shows an aptitude for declamation unusual for one of his age. He has never been heard

to utter a word of complaint at his condition, and he invariably rebukes his friends if they give expression to

any pitying words. He seems to realize, however, that it is a calamity to be blind, as the following incident

will show: his little niece had a cataract upon her eye, and he had heard fears expressed lest it should destroy

her sight. It was not long after this that his mother heard his voice in an adjoining room, and going quietly to

the door she listened; what was her surprise when she heard him praying to God that the little baby might not

become blind! His parents tell some almost incredible stories about this boy. They say that when he was only

seven motnths old he would "hum" a perfect tune as he lay in his cradle, and they told me its name but I

cannot just now recall it. It was one of those old pennyroyal hymns that somebody had sung in the house.

The boy sings a good many songs that he has comitted to memory, and also speaks, with considerable

elocutionary skill, a number of pieces, both in prose and verse. He is a good speller, being farther advanced

in this branch than many boys who have had the advantage of schools, and are two or three years older. He

disposes of such words as "Constantinople", "Massachusetts", etc., without any apparent difficulty. His sense

of touch is very acute, readily recognizing the value of any coin that is given him. And I will here remark that

is a very proper thing for visitors to substantially remember the little unfortunate when they go in to see him

and not depart without leaving something for his benefit or amusement. His folks told me that he has never

heard a piano or any organ, and that, with the exception of an accordeon and squeaky fiddle, he had never

heard the sound of any kind of musical instrument. When listening to music, even the poor grade that he has

heard, he seems to be almost in ecstacy, and it is hoped that something will be done so that he may receive

such an education as his natural capacity seems to call for. The boy's name is Charles Stinneford. I think his

father's first name is Oliver. I will here say that these people treated me very politely when I called. They are

not burdened with this world's goods, but they know what constitutes good manners and that is more than

can be said of some who have wealth. They say that they are pleased to have any one come in, who has a

curiosity to see the blind boy.

D/C says he is blind, age 47, died of pneumonia, brocho, and influenza; buried Dover South Mills Cem.

Oliver next married Lucinda T HANSCOM, daughter of Anson J HANSCOM and Frances J HAM, in 1890. Lucinda

was born 22 Aug 1861 in Sangerville, Piscataquis, ME and died after 1930.

She d of chronic valvular disease of the heart. Age is 74,9,28, [=April 21, 1837] which is off one year from the Apr

1836 from the 1900 census. Mary was more likely to be correct in 1900 than a next-of-kin in 1912. One World Tree

gives 19 Apr 1834 Brownville (next door to Milo); I think 1836 is more likely. Marriage int are also rec in Piscataquis

Fourth Generation (Great-Grandchildren)

28. Ellura Mae STINNEFORD (George H 3, Joseph Cain

2, William

1) was born 19 May 1860 in Brighton, Somerset, ME

and died 27 Apr 1938 in Winslow, Kennebec, ME.

Carol Hanson Guentert says in her Hansons book, "Ellura Mae was a formidable woman, my mother told me. She was

five feet tall and weighed 140-150 pounds and she died at age 77 of cancer of the bowel."

Ellura married Joseph Calvin LEAVITT, son of Ralph Clinton LEAVITT and Mary Abigail MORGRIDGE, 1 Sep

1878 in Cambridge, Somerset, ME. Joseph was born 15 Nov 1858 in Cambridge, Somerset, ME and died 27 Sep 1922 in

Auburn, Androscoggin, ME.

Joseph is always referred to as simply Joseph C, the middle name lost to history. The C could stand for

Clifford or Calvin or Clinton, maybe it was just plain C, so it could stand for any of them; see notes under his

father. None of the names is carried on in subsequent generations. I believe his full name is most likely

Joseph Calvin, named after both of his parents' fathers. The entire family of Joseph, Ellura, Sina, Chester,

Ulrich, Edith and husband William are all buried in the family plot at Pine Grove Cemetery in Waterville,

Lot 548, on Crescent Ave. Have photos of stones, and photos of people except Chester and Ulrich. November

2008, Pine Grove Cemetery told us their records state that Chester was reinterred in 1903 from Cambridge

Maine. They also said that Ulrich Leavitt is buried there in "plot #4", though without any marker. No living

family members had known anything about it. Joseph C Leavitt is also registered as the person who bought

the lot in Mt Pleasant Cemetery in Cambridge, where his father Ralph is buried, and likely where his son

Chester was buried.

Joseph was reportedly a deeply religious man and a lay minister, a landscape gardener, and an insurance

agent. He rented a home at 5 Pleasant St in Waterville. Stinneford cousin Thelma Barrows in 1985 writes "I

used to know Aunt Ellura and Uncle Joe real well. I used to live in Waterville until I was 9 years old. Uncle

Joe used to come over and say our prayers with us at night. He was a wonderful man but religious." He died

on a Wednesday. Death certificate says he committed "suicide by drowning", jumping off a bridge in

Auburn. He was reportedly in great pain from some illness.

Descendants have no recollection of ever hearing anything about Ulrich or Daisy's first marriages or those names. I

have found no divorce record from first wife and it is known that the mar to Daisy was a common-law marriage.

Ulrich's death cert lists no information, only his ID "from social security card 007-16-5381". It does say Ulrich Frank

Leavitt age abt 63, died of coronary embolism sudden, and influenza. Bur Jan 6, Henry E Hilton, Norridgewock

funeral director. Ulrich's dau Ruth said they never knew when he died, their mother told them he died in the 1930s.

Note that children Ruth and Bernard were not albinos, and the other 3 were. In November 2008 we discovered from

Pine Grove Cemetery in Waterville that Ulrich is indeed buried in the Leavitt family lot with his parents and sister

Edith Robertson. William Robertson often "took care of" extended family needs. There was no marker, but is in "Lot

Edith & William are buried in the family plot with her parents at Pine Grove Cemetery Lot 548, Waterville. The April

Church". Mrs Edith Robertson played "Faith", and Jeannette Robertson was one of the "Lilies of the Field".

Genetic tree: 5'0"; wt 100; brown hair; septicaemia, possibly acutely infected gall bladder attack. Cousin Carole

Guentert adds, On Edith, I heard via Mom that she died of septicemia after her gall bladder surgery as her older retired

former employer Dr E. P. Fish, did the surgery as a favor and left "the proverbial sponge" in the surgical site, causing

the massive infection. He realized he was too old to be performing surgery, but she wouldn't have anyone else do it.

Daughter Marguerite was at her hospital bedside when she passed.

Carole also adds (p84 of her book Hansons of York Maine, "I found that my maternal grandmother, Edith Leavitt

Robertson, kept a Shakespeare birthday book with both joyous and sad entries. She made shorthand entries in her

memory book on Jan 11 and 18, 1914 that read "Will spoke to me but I decided it was best to wait a month but I only

waited a week" and "Will asked me to be his wife. I would not have the slightest idea that he cared for me. I feel sure

that he does love me." On Jan 25, 1914, Edith entered "I had my ring. It was put on with a kiss. I think it's a beauty. I

do love him." She never entered their wedding date, Nov 11, 1914 in this book."

Edith married William Lewis ROBERTSON, son of William ROBERTSON and Alice Florilla SAFFORD, 11 Nov

1914 in Waterville, Kennebec, ME. William was born 27 Jun 1885 in West Upton, Worcester, MA and died 10 Oct 1947 in

Gardiner, Kennebec, ME.

in Waterville, has wife and child, was a Sargent in Canadian Infantry; medium height and build, blue eyes,

dark red hair. Family: 5'11", balding. Carole adds, strawberry blonde to red brown hair.

William graduated from the University of New Brunswick. Birth recorded in Upton VR v360 p386, year

1885 confirmed. Birth record has parents as William Robertson b ME & Alice F Roberts b Dexter ME (sic;

she probably said her married name Robertson, then changed it, but the clerk had already started writing it.

Alice Florilla Safford WAS b Dexter.). William m2 Helen Elwell (Mrs Cousens) in Gardiner ME 15 June

1940. She m3) Howard Kelley (10 Jan 1891 - April 1983 Warwick RI). Helen and Howard would come to

East Rochester to visit the Rhoades family occasionally.

William Lewis Robertson's d/c says he resided at 3 Cobbossee Ave; his wife Helen Cousens was 49; he

was b West Upton Mass, and he was District Supt CMP Co. His father was a sea captain b NB and mother

Alice Safford b NB [sic]. He died of Pulmonary thrombosis, and prostate cancer. His prostate cancer

metasticized to his ribs (which broke when he tried to get out of the car) and spine.

Memories from Muriel: How did he meet Helen and where did the big house on the hill (133 Cobbosee

Ave) come from? Helen might have been one of the housekeepers. They lived on Central St/Water St in

Gardiner, house belonged to Helen, it was a Cousens' house. She worked in a factory office on Water St.

Helen's mother was nice, they called her Nana. Muriel and Martha mowed the big steep lawn by hand.

William remodeled the house. It burned ca 2010 and was rebuilt.

Carole Hanson Guentert writes in her book Hansons of York Maine, p84-92: "Will introduced an

unpopular step-mother into the Robertson girls' lives when he remarried a few years later. I remember

Grandfather Robertson as a tall friendly man (Mom's childhood friend Edith Sanborn described him as

"impressive"), who brought 3-foot tall dolls to Peggy and me for Christmas and on our birthdays. He was

married to Helen Cousens by that time, and I spent time at their house on the hill in Gardiner Maine

(Cobbossee Stream) in the summertime, though my mother never liked her step-mother, and we weren't

allowed to either. My mother could really hold agrudge about that, but it may have been well-deserved.

Mom would tell of the huge strawberry shortcakes that her Dad would serve up in soup bowls, because he

didn't want his girls to suffer deprivation like he did when he was a boy. When his father remarried, his

step-mother cut him off from any financial help for college, so he got a loan from his employer, Ganong's

Candy factory in St Stephen NB. Some letters from William are also reproduced in the book.

Email 10/7/2016: My name is Linda Edgerly, one of five children of Owen Chester Edgerly (you have identified

him as Chester Owen Edgerly) whose mother was Mary Stinneford. He was born in Greenville Maine on February

18, 1906 and died in New Jersey in November 1985 (the information you have included his death date is incorrect)

and is buried in the Hainesville, NJ Cemetery in Sandyston Township. He used the name 'Chet' throughout his life and

as the Building Inspector of Sandyston Township in Sussex County, NJ, routinely used the signature 'Chet Edgerly'.

Chet Edgerly and his first wife had two children: Joyce Edgerly Lennington Diamond (deceased) and Owen Chester

Edgerly, Jr. (deceased). Regrettably, her early death due to what then was known as 'pernicious anemia' left him a

single parent with two young children. In the early 1930's he moved with the two children to northwestern New

Jersey to accept the position of Manager and Caretaker of Camp Madeleine Mulford which was located in Stokes

State Forest.

In 1947 Chet Edgerly married Ruth G. Hoch (b.1921-d. 2007), originally from Mercersburg, PA., and they had three

children -- my two brothers and me: Bruce Edgerly (2/12/1948- d. 3/11/1968) who is buried in the Hainesville, NJ

Cemetery in Sandyston, NJ; Linda Edgerly (b. 1/9/1950); and Mark Edgerly (b. 11/2/1953). Mark married Judith

Ayers on 5/15/1975 and they have one daughter, Corry L. Edgerly. Corry Edgerly married Kurt Chrobak and they

have one daughter, Carley L. Chrobak (b. 7/24/2015. I married Loyd C. Moore in 1989 and our daughter, Adrianna

Drue ("Anna") Edgerly-Moore (b. 12/18/1990).

The two children from Chet Edgerly's first marriage both of whom are deceased as noted above, also had children:

Joyce and her husband Joe Lennington had four children and Owen Chester Edgerly, Jr. (always called 'Brother') and

his wife Fern, had three children.

None of the siblings of our father, Chet Edgerly, survive. However, the widow of Robert (Bob) Edgerly, who was

the son of our father's sister Ellen, continues to reside in the house in which our father and his sisters grew up in

Greenville, Maine. Her name is Sylvia and she and Bob had two children, both of whom still are living in Maine

although not in Greenville. We remain in communication with Sylvia Edgerly and with Joseph Lennington (Joyce's

first husband) and several of their children and also with Fern, the wife of Owen Chester Edgerly, Jr. ('Brother') and

their children. Though our father Chet Edgerly sustained our family's communication during our growing-up years

with his sister Mary Edgerly Clark and her husband John Clark (both of whom are deceased and who had no children)

lost communication with the remainder of the family. With regard to one of Ola and James Mason's sons, James, Jr.

This is a letter from my Uncle Charles to a Gus Stineford dated 12-20-1985 [via Bernard Stineford] Dear Gus, I'm

sure the family heritage book was compiled by a zealous individual who obtained listings from telephone companies

from across the nation and scanned them for surnames. It is quite obvious that they did little research inasmuch as

Lawrence C. (Larry) is my son and has lived in Montana for 10 years. (now lives in Ca. B.E.S.) I've lived at this

adress for 15 years and they do not list me. Probably because I have an unlisted phone. ( adress at this time was 81763

Drawbridge Ave Indio,Ca.92201) Now that I have that off my chest I will give you what scoop I have on my branch

of the Stinefords. It is not a common surname so I feel that we have a common ancestor. My great grandfather was a

seaman on a British ship that was patroling the coast of Maine during the war of 1812. He jumped ship(which makes

us all wetbacks)and fled to the northern part of Maine near Mt. Katadin. he married an indian squaw of the Abanaki

tribe and spent the rest of his life in Maine. I do not know how many children he had but my grandfather was born in

Brownsville,Me. He sired 8 chidren according to my father but I only remember 6

names-Joseph,joshua,Ora,Charles,Annie,and Clara. He died at the age of 92. My father was born in Olamon,Me. in

1888 and died in 19 (unreadable). Ora lived in Melrose,Me. and never had any children. I do not know anything about

Joshua except he never left Maine. Joseph lived in Erie,Pa. and worked for General Electric Co. and had several

children, The only one I knew was Hilda who was probably 3 or 4 years old then. My father had 3 sons and 2

daughters,Charles,Lawrence, Bernard,Irene,and Dorothy. Lawrence has 1 son Robert who lives in Ceronta,N.Y. he is

36,Bernard has 1 son(at this time)Charles who lives in Mass.(now in N.Y.) and is about 35. I have one son Lawrence

who lives in Montana and is 38. I was born in Mass. in 1912 and have been retired since 1972 living in the Colorado

desert in Ca. In fact i've lived in Ca. since 1937, I would be happy to recieve any information you dredge up regarding

the family tree(good or bad). My middle name is Hammond. Sincerely, Charles H. Stineford

OAKLAND - Donna Ruth (Bickford) Farnham 76, passed away peacefully at the Lakewood Continuing Care

Center in Waterville, surrounded by her family on Saturday, January 17, 2015, after a courageous battle with

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Donna held on to celebrate her and Ralph's 53rd wedding anniversary

on January 13. She left this earth on her terms with a smile to be with her Lord. She was born on August 3,

1938, the daughter of Donald Leroy Bickford and Ruth Althea (Leavitt). Donna lost her father at an early age

in 1946 and moved to Vassalboro when her mother remarried to Raymond Robinson, Sr. For the next 53

years, she called him dad, but never forgot her biological father.

Donna graduated from Erskine Academy in South China in 1956. On January 13, 1962, she married the love

of her life, Ralph Farnham, Jr. She worked at Augusta Mental Hospital, Colby College Library, Larsen's

Card and Gift Shop in Waterville, Waterville Osteopathic Hospital, and Digital in Augusta. She opened her

own business called "Caring People" which she loved the most. In her spare time she would help out at the

Oakland Library, and the VA Hospital at Togus. She belonged to Daughters of American Revolution (DAR),

Rebecca's, Business and Professional Woman (BPW), REM , Red Hat Society, Humane Society, Maine State

Grange (Oakland), and was on the committee for the new Veterans Memorial in Oakland representing Silent

Howard Hayden - DAR. Donna enjoyed traveling, with many trips throughout the State of Maine, NH,

Boston to visit her cousin and wife, Nashville, Tn., and Georgia. But the trip she loved the most was the trip

with DAR to Washington DC, and Branson, Missouri, and all the stops in between. OH YES, don't forget the

lawn sales, dancing at the Fox Den, and many other locations.

She is survived by her husband Ralph of Oakland; daughter Lynn of Waterville; brother Raymond Robinson,

Jr and wife Lorraine of Vassalboro; four grandchildren; many cousins; nieces and nephews. She was

predeceased by a sister Dale Veilleux in 1995; father Donald Bickford, mother Ruth Bickford Robinson in

2002, and stepdad, Raymond Robinson, Sr in 1998. The family would like to express thanks and appreciation

to the excellent nursing staff, the outstanding CNA's, and all members of the Lakewood Staff. Donna will

be deeply missed by Ralph, her family members, friends and associates of the organizations she belonged to.

and first cousin to member Shirley Breznyak. Her mother Ruth and my mother were first cousins who had

lost contact until I "found" her again in the 1980s researching our Leavitts. Ruth and Donna had provided

much help in my research and some family artifacts back then. Ruth's father was Ulrich Leavitt (Joseph1858

like me, Ralph1828, Joseph1782) and her mother was Daisy Gage (Anna Decker, Josephine Leavitt1844,

1) was born 31 Oct 1916 in Waterville, Kennebec, ME and died 11 Mar 1990 in York, York, ME.

The same April 1 1926 Kennebec Journal which mentions her mother and sister on p2 Skowhegan news has the

headline "Suffers from badly scalded foot and ankle". "Miss Marguerite Robertson met with a painful accident

recently, one which might have resulted much more seriously than it did. The little Miss came in from outside where

she had been playing and in throwing off her coat caight it on a pail of boiling water, on the heater close by. The

contents overturned upon her foot and ankle, which were badly burned. While she is improving, the foot is painful."

Genetic tree: brown hair; angina. Daughter Carole says: Marge had hazel/green eyes I think and "mousey brown" hair.

Her cause of death was lung cancer as the primary site but it spread up her spine to the brain. She had larger hands, as

I noticed at her wake and her shoes were size 9+ as was her ring size; not a small woman, size 14 at later years and

Mom was 5'6'' or 7". (Son) Dennis' hand situation (no fingers on one hand) was thought to be the result of Mom

having German measles while pregnant, tho' I'm not sure that is so.

Muriel grew up as a Methodist, but attended Sunday Schools at the Universalist churches in Skowhegan and

Gardiner. Moved to Gardiner as a small child, and graduated from Gardiner High School 1947, and Burdett Business

College in Lynn MA. Attended Girl Scout Camp at Cobbossee Lake in 1941 according to a letter from her father,

and was a Cub Scout Den Mother. Attended Episcopal churches in Gardiner ME, and Dover and Rochester NH.

Genetic Tree: 5'2"; wt 110-130; brown hair; hazel eyes; high blood pressure; back problems/ scoleosis; Blood A+.

Memory problems in late 70s, slow progression. No cancer. Had thyroid operated on in her 30s or 40s. Has been

diagnosed with clinical depression in her later years. She passed at 11:50pm Nov 29 at the nursing home, mostly

unresponsive for the previous week.

FTDNA test results: Haplogroup is H6a1a2a. [My maternal cousins will be the same - Robertson > Leavitt >

Stinneford > Trafton > Penney > Gowen > Cole > Spencer 1698.] H6 is one of the oldest branches of haplogroup H.

Its age is estimated at around 26,000 years. It is one of the most frequent branches of H found among Arabian

lineages, and is the most frequent branch among those found in Central Asia. It likely originated in the Middle East or

Central Asia. H6 is also found at very low frequencies in Europe. I have also uploaded my data to the mtDNA

Community website for additional analysis.

23&me test refined Aug 2014 shows 99.9% European, broken down as 64.8% British & Irish, 12.7% French &

German, 2.3% Scandinavian, 16% Broadly Northern European, .2% Italian, 2.1% Broadly Southern European, 1.8%

Broadly European, .1% unassigned. This test also showed 2.9% Neanderthal dna.

Muriel married Roland3 Edward RHOADES, son of Roland Edison RHOADES [PEAVEY] and Marion Frances

BOUDWAY, 7 Oct 1950 in Gardiner, Kennebec, ME. Roland3 was born 5 Jun 1930 in Gardiner, Kennebec, ME and died

7 May 2017 in Franklin, Merrimack, NH.

Roland attended Farmingdale and Gardiner schools, graduating from Gardiner High School in 1947.

Served in the US Army Air Corps, in charge of sled dogs in Labrador. He moved to Dover NH in 1955 and

East Rochester NH in 1959. He worked at GE in Somersworth NH for 11 years. He was a licensed

electrician, carpenter and general contractor, a co-owner of a couple companies. He and Muriel were also

owners of Hilltop Recreation Center in Somersworth NH, which he built from the ground up in the 1960s to

include a golf driving range, go-karts, baseball and softball batting cages, and "Space Age" miniature golf.

That was a major news attraction; each hole had a giant theme, like a flying saucer large enough to walk

through, that airplane pilots said they used as a bearing for landing at the Rochester airport. It also had space

creatures and planets made from steel, chicken wire and mortar. His children always had summer jobs! He

was also an Eagle Boy Scout, Order of the Arrow; Scoutmaster in Gardiner ME and Salmon Falls NH;

Cubmaster in East Rochester; and served on the vestry as Jr and Sr Warden of the Episcopal Church in

Rochester. He converted their summer camp in Sanford to year-round and moved from East Rochester in

1980. He sold his business and retired to Lakeland FL around 1985 in a retirement park where he has been

President of the Shuffleboard Club, with many trophies. He and Muriel have led a very active life in the

Florida warmth; it's hard to ever find them home. In January 2011, they sold their home in Lakeland and

moved in with daughter Nancy in NH.

Genetic Tree: 5'10"; wt 175; black hair; hazel eyes; balding at 40; arthritis, heart disease, back problems

(the "Boudway back" acc to his mother), slight diabetes; Blood AB+. Memory problems at about age 80,

rapid progression. Had a heart attack and stint 1995; pacemaker 2005. Knee replacement 2009. Prostate

cancer 2009.

DNA test results from 23&me: Mtdna U2e1a. Y-dna Rhoades line belongs to Haplogroup R1b1a.

23&me autosomal test, refined Aug 2014, showed 99.8% European, broken down as 41% British & Irish,

14.8% French & German, 8.2% Scandinavian, 29.9% Broadly Northern European, 1.3% Iberian, .5%

Broadly Southern European, .1% Ashkenazi, 4.1% Broadly European; .2% East Asian & Native American,

.1% Mongolian, <.1% Native American. Broadly means they do not yet have the comparative data to pin it

down, but it will eventually increase the Scandinavian and French amounts. This is one reason why they

dropped the price to build their database to a million users. His father's story about his g-grandmother

(Whalen) being an Indian princess is in question. This test also showed 2.7% Neanderthal dna.

Children from this marriage were:

256 M i. Roland4 Edward RHOADES was born 10 Nov 1951 in Gardiner, Kennebec, ME.

sections of my class in math and English. A Cub Scout and Boy Scout advancing to Star rank. Graduated

remember being told a number in the 120s, I think it was 123 or maybe 127.

Richard "Duke" Kumpel, 81, passed away on Sunday July 22, 2012. Cherished dad to his five children and

Papa Duke to his grandchildren and first great granddaughter, he remained a steady presence in his children's

lives showing his warmth and humor that characterized his life. Duke, born on Christmas Day 1930, was

raised in Melrose. He shared many happy childhood experiences with his sister Flo and brother George. It

was at Lincoln Elementary School in Melrose where he met his lifelong friend and "partner in crime" Donald

"Cookie" Corcoran. He graduated from Melrose High School in1948 where he was a sprinter with the Track

and Field Team. After graduating he enlisted in the Navy and served with the Seabees for two years. He met

his bride-to-be Martha who was in the nurse-in-training program at Melrose Wakefield Hospital and she

immediately caught his eye. He married his beautiful wife Martha in 1952, and soon after the couple moved

to Greenwood where they raised five children. Their home in Greenwood was a frequent site of

neighborhood pool parties and Christmas caroling get-togethers.

Duke worked for the Local 537 as a union pipefitter for over forty years working on many large scale

commercial projects. While working and helping Martha raise the children, he attended Northeastern

University at night for eight years finally earning his B.S. in Civil Engineering.

He touched many lives through his associations as a player agent for Wakefield Little League for more than

ten years. In addition, he served on the Board of Directors of both Little League and Wakefield Youth

Hockey. Duke will be especially remembered for his tireless work leading to the growth of Massachusetts

Hockey. In 1974, he became a charter member of Massachusetts Hockey and later served as a member of

Mass Hockey's Executive Board. In addition, he served as USA Hockey Director-at Large for nineteen years

and was proudly elected USA Hockey Director Emeritus. He received numerous accolades and awards for

his work and was inducted in to the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001.

He moved to Reading in 1996 and served on the Condo Board for Summit Towers for many years. An avid

snowbird for the past sixteen years, Duke enjoyed winters at his condo in Fort Lauderdale where he enjoyed

shared dinners, reminiscing with old friends and sitting in the sunshine with his Sudoku puzzles. Oftentimes,

he was joined by his companion, Mary Cail of Melrose. She was his constant and loving friend and they

shared the last nineteen years together going to countless hockey games, rooting for the Red Sox together and

enjoying time with family and mutual friends.

Duke never met a stranger and he had a joy for life and for helping others. He had an uncanny ability to fix

things and always had a smile for others. He will be remembered and sorely missed by his five children and

their spouses including Bill and his wife Pat, Linda Lomas and her husband Howie, Judy and her husband

Tom Gonnella of Gettysburg Pennsylvania, Mark and his wife Helene Van Neste of Scarborough, Maine,

and Kristen and her husband John Abbondante. He is also survived by ten grandchildren and one great

granddaughter. He was predeceased by his loving wife Martha who died in 1989.

A visitation for relatives and friends will be held at McDonald Funeral Home, 19 Yale Ave, Wakefield on

Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m. A memorial service will be held at a future date.

4/7/2004 Morning Sentinel: FARMINGTON -- In an unexpected development, School Administrative District 9

directors Tuesday cut an additional $50,000 from the proposed budget for 2004-05, but did not reveal where the

specific savings would be realized.

The motion to take that amount of money from the spending plan came from Neil Stinneford, the director from Weld,

and the decision was supported in a 12-2 vote by the board following a 15-minute executive session.

Neil married Joanne STURTEVANT, daughter of Reginald H STURTEVANT and Laura A WING, 20 Sep 1955 in

Waterville, Kennebec, ME. Joanne was born in 1934.

Joanne's mother, Laura A. Sturtevant, 95, of Auburn passed away Feb. 16, 2005, at Seville Park Plaza,

Auburn. She was wife of the late Reginald H. Sturtevant. Born in North Chesterville on Feb. 22, 1909, she

was the daughter of Walter and Harriet Wing.

356 M i. Eric STINNEFORD was born about 1956.

Eric married Lynette HORNE, daughter of Leonard C "Laddie" HORNE and Brigitte "Bea" EBERLE.

Lynette was born about 1956 in Acton, Middlesex, MA.

Lynette's mother:

WAYNE - Brigitte Eberle "Bea" Horne passed away suddenly in her home on March 9, 2014. She was 82.

She was born on Sept. 20, 1931, in Nuremberg, Germany, the eldest child of Adolf and Agnes Eberle. After

the war, she became an au pair for Dr. and Mrs. Harold Bargar, Americans serving in Germany. They

sponsored her in 1952, when she bravely chose to leave her home in Germany and immigrate to America.

She lived with the Bargars in Newton, Mass., until moving out on her own and joining the secretarial pool at

Sanborn Co. There she met Leonard C. "Laddie" Horne and, against all advice, married him in 1957. Their

marriage lasted 51 years, until his death in 2008. Bea and Laddie built a home in Acton, Mass., where they

lived for 35 years. Bea raised her family and was the bookkeeper for Laddie's businesses. She became an

American citizen in 1968. She joined the Acton Garden Club and was an active member for years,

maintaining public garden spots all over town and placing countless red geraniums at historical sites every

April 19. Bea's passion for gardens grew into a lifelong concern for ecology. She was an early recycler,

volunteering at the Acton landfill to sort bottles, cans and newspapers and she established a then-radical

compost pile in her suburban backyard. As college expenses loomed for her children, Bea went to work at

GenRad in Concord, Mass. She worked there until her retirement in 1994. Wishing to be closer to

grandchildren, Bea and Laddie decided to move to Maine. Her only wish was that her new house, "… be

something with a view." Her wish was realized when they settled on Morrison Heights in Wayne in

September 1994. Bea's passion for gardens, the earth and volunteering quickly made her a beloved member

of the Wayne community. Bea volunteered at Pooh Bear Nursery School and the Wayne Elementary School

Library, tended the gardens at town memorials and the school, and became a member of the Kennebec Land

Trust, earning their Volunteer of the Year Award in 2007. She generously shared her extensive gardens and

home on the inaugural Homes of Wayne Tour in 2007. She donated her extraordinary baking skills to

countless fundraisers and community events. She spent her quiet hours knitting mittens for mitten drives and

comfort shawls for hospice. Bea lent her remarkable energy and elbow grease to any task that needed doing.

She was also a member of the Wayne Friday Club, The Wayne Garden Club and would gladly attend any

classical music concert at any time. She loved her Wayne community and was genuinely modest about her

contributions. If you were fortunate enough to have spent time in her home, you would have been treated to

heart-warming food, a breathtaking view and a lovely lady. Bea is survived by her daughter and son-in-law,

Lynette and Eric Stinneford, of Wayne; son and daughter-in-law Robert and Christine Horne, of Littleton,

Mass.; granddaughters Eliza and Kelsey Stinneford and Nyla Horne; her brothers and sisters-in-laws Jost and

Olga Eberle, Gotz and Traudle Eberle, Volker and Barbara Eberle, of Germany; her sister-in-law, Eileen

Halkyard, of South Hadley, Mass.; her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Mary and Robert Sadler, of Hamden,

Conn.; many nieces and nephews and … a whole lot of friends and loved ones. Burial will be private.

10/24/2009 KJ: WAYNE -- The students in Lynette Stinneford's third-grade class at Wayne Elementary

School spent much of Thursday and Friday gazing out their classroom window.

Before their eyes, they saw a tower, slides, "pod hops" and other equipment rise from a section of the

schoolyard that's been without a working play structure for more than a year.

Stinneford didn't waste the moment. "We're embracing the project," she said Friday. "They've written

construction journals." At the same time, the third-graders were learning a lesson about community. Their

ideas helped create the design in June....

357 M ii. Ryan S STINNEFORD was born about 1958.

Mother says Ryan has been tracing the family tree.

9/9/1999 Portland Press: Ryan Stinneford, a Portland attorney, picked up the book for his 10-year-old

daughter, a voracious reader. Stinneford said that his daughter was unimpressed when she got the first book,

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," but that she quickly became engrossed in the story. She read the

second book, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," in two days -- no easy feat for a fifth-grader at 341

pages. The third weighs in at a hefty 435 pages.

"She identifies with the lead character and loves the sense of adventure," Stinneford said.

Ryan married Shireen S SHAHAWAY 15 Jun 1985 in Waterville, Kennebec, ME.

Ryan next married Patricia J WHEELER, daughter of Willard WHEELER and Virginia, 19 Sep 1999.
