Hello there Norman!!. Aww man if I would have
had your Phone # with me I would have given you a buzz. Well got to Auburn
Maine..what a mess Rt.95 was!!. It stopped snowing down my way late Sunday
night. Monday Morning my wife and I drove right into the snowstorm that just
left my area!!! Aaa!!. Well I told you I was going to do some hands on
research on the Evans family!!. I hit pay dirt.....I didn't find John Joseph
Green...But I found Loring S. Evans and Hatties resting place!!,Finally..
Somehow I stumbled into where Gordon L. Evans, his wife, and daughter are
resting. Hit me kind of funny...why would Gordon be buried in the area his
parents came from.....Standish, Maine right around Sabago Lake??? My hunch
was right. Right there at Harding Cemetery in Standish Maine on Rt 35..Is
Gordon L.Evans his wife Helen..Gordon's daughter Eleanor. and Loring S.
Evans and Hattie. I hooped and hollered..My wife just called to me "Oh
Yea"????The snow was really deep. If John Green is there and he has a stone
that's flat to the ground ..then I would never find it that day!!. Now back
to Bartlett. Dec.29th...My GPS...RRRRrrrrr! took me to ECHO LAKE..Yes it
wanted me to put my truck under water.... Well went back to Auburn after
that. Next day we left Auburn for good. Put in Bartlett into my GPS....and
no problem getting there. Well driving up and down Main St. looking for 1313
main...couldn't find it!. I did what us men never do..I listened to my wife
and stopped off at "Bart's Deli" and asked..Where is the Library????. Ha..I
was almost on top of it. I go to the school and there it is close to the
road a sign pointing to the Library... boy did I want to put my head down
and hide..My wife had such a good laugh at me. "Hey big research boy"? You
can find about a person way back in the 1700's ..but ya can't find the
Bartlett Library...Haaa my butt!. Well swallowed my pride walked up to the
library door,ready to ask to feast my eyes on some Livermore stuff and
wham!!. It's 10:30AM Library opens on Thursday @ 2:00PM. You know now
Norman? My wife was in stitches...Wooo Haa!!! I looked at her and all I
could see was this big Jackass with his teeth and all laughing at me!!!
aaaaaa. Well that was it. She slid a few things while laughing ..like Hey
Tuff guy??? You ever think of using your cell phone to call the Library and
find out their hours???. Well we did have a great time. This will be
something she will hit me with tonight for sure when the new year comes
in!.. Well Norman let ya go. You and your family have a safe night and tell
all my new pals of my adventures in Bartlett..Take care..Bob
In Dec 2010 Robert Girouard, who donated these scans, went on a quest to
find Loring and Hattie Evans burial site.
