A once in a lifetime auction. Spanning from the 1880s to the mid-1900s, This is a very rare collection of personal letters that stand as a record of a life and an affair, from some of oldest families in New England. The SwaseyLincolns (see below). Much of the Lake Winnipesaukee Area is named after them and Ive included some excerpts of Lakes region history in which the people in the letters are mentioned. What is not mentioned in the history of Meredith, NH is the tumultuous relationships and ro...mances featured in these letters. There is the beginning of Cassandra and John Minots romance ( it is unclear if one or both of them is involved with someone else in the beginning) and then a parcel of letters from much later in 1914 containing lawyers letters and documentation of a private detective who follows Mr. Hall and another woman (Miss Gibson) at the request of Cassandra, as she suspects Minot has been lying to her about an affair. There is even a letter from a cottage rental place he was trying secure, complete with the keys tucked inside. This is with the lawyer letters as evidence. There is much more that I havent personally dug into yet, family advice, sisters, and a greater catalog of letters from family and friends. More pictures upon request. The Letters are mainly centered around the people Listed below.

GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INFORMATION:What Became of John Bond Swasey and his Land Approximately twelve years after the completion of the Waukewan Canal, John and Alice Swasey began to construct a new home on the west side of Main Street behind their current house. Unfortunately, John died of appendicitis on March 11, 1828 and did not get to see the completion of his new home. The well-preserved early Greek Revival house with distinctive two- story porch was completed after his death by Alice and remains in his family to this day. John Bond Swasey is buried at the Swasey Cemetery on Lang Street. Upon her husbands death, the Swasey homestead and accompanying parcel were inherited by Alice Ladd Swasey. It was under Alices supervision that the well-preserved early Greek Revival home was completed. Alice also ran the mills after the death of her husband, which was something very unusual for the time. March 9, 1867, Alice Swasey sold the extensive prop- erty for 750 to her son-in-law Col. Ebenezer Stevens. At this time, the property contained about twelve acres and was bounded by the northeast corner of Joseph W. Langs lot, then westerly parallel to the street from John Mudgets House to the RR. Depot, to Daniel Hiltons land, southwest to the outlet of Waukewan, northeasterly to lands of William J. Elliott, Da- vid Vittum and Charles S. Prescott. Ebenezer Stevens (1810-1901) was born in Gilford to Paul and Sally Howe Stevens and married Cassandra Swasey on April 22, 1846. Prior to his marrying Casandra, he had worked as a blacksmith out of a shop in Gilford village. He moved, with his first wife and small children, to Meredith village in 1837 and continued to work as a blacksmith until his wifes early death in 1845 at the age of 33. In 1845 he was elected selectman and served for three years. He was also a Justice of the Peace, and a representative in 1854 and 1855. He was one of the incorporators and served as president and treasurer of the Meredith Mechanic Association, one of the incorporators and trustee of Meredith Village Savings Bank, one of the directors of the Belknap County Bank, Laconia, and also a trustee of Laconia Savings Bank. Ebenezer and Cassandra Stevens lived in the Swasey Homestead on Mai

This is a cabinet card photo of a man identified on the back as, Captain W.L. Thompson. The inscription reads, Living for the Lost, Portland, Oregon. I presume he is a captain in the Salvation Army. The photo was taken by Fortin in Walla Walla, Washington, ca. 1889-93. The mount card stock used by Fortin was formerly used by Broderick Co. in Walla Walla with the imprint of this studio showing through at the top of the image. Image has a few light stains, otherwise good condition with good contr...ast and clarity. No bends.Overall size: 4 14" x 6 12".
This end cut is the last slab I have available from this amazing log Don't miss your chance at one of the most unique Arizona Rainbow petrified wood slabs that you'll ever seeThis is definitely one of the most unique color patterns I've ever seen from this incredible petrified forest The color in this magnificent specimen simply has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated - it looks as if the pattern were created by a tie dye artist It clearly shows where Arizona "rainbow" wood gets its fan...ciful name I would never have guessed from the desert patina that coated this log before cutting that such a remarkable and unprecedented color pattern would be hidden inside You just don't see many logs from this forest with a woody or black central region like you see in this one. This fossil log produced some of the finest and most visually captivating Arizona Rainbow specimens you'll find with such truly beautiful and 100 natural color. It's the kind of specimen that explains how this wood earned its name The log is very nicely agatized and took a magnificent polish to bring all of that amazing color to life as only the best grades of petrified wood can. This looks to be an Araucaria (an ancient conifer). The pastel red, orange, purple, black and yellow combine with the ancient wood grain to make a stunning display piece We were fortunate to be able to obtain this short log for cutting in our shop. This one is irregular in thickness as the back has been hand ground and contoured to the shape of the original end as dug from the ground. The back is not polished but has a smooth sanded texture. There won't be many slabs of this one to share, so grab it if you love it as much as I doI don't often get top grade examples of petrified wood from Arizona and what I do see is usually table top size and not very easy for a collector to display. This particular log is an exception to both rules. I didn't find it, but I sure wish I had It's one of the better preserved medium sized petrified wood logs I've seen from that state and deserves a place in your collection as well. Most of the petrified logs found in this particular area are Araucaria, and the structure in this one is consistent with those. The cell structure of most of these super old conifer like trees are very difficult to separate just in cross section no matter how well defined they are and this one is no exception.If you're new to our shop the one thing you should expect is to see an unexpectedly glossy finish on each stone we prepare. This complete round is a wonderful example of the best lapidary work you'll find. It's been cut with a diamond saw and flat lapped on equipment I built myself to produce a mirror perfect polish unmatched by any of our many would-be imitators. The detail captured and revealed through the highly polished surface is just immaculate. It's easily some of the best fossil wood to be found anywhere The rings are gorgeous, the agate is highly polished and the detail is easier to see in person than the photo suggests. It's a truly special find and we won't likely have a lot more so get a piece for your collection while it's available This is a thick slab from the end of the log and measures about 10 14" x 9 34" across the polished face. It varies in thickness from about 38" to nearly 1 12" thick. Weight is about 5.86 lbs.A nice, unique natural wonder collectible exclusively from Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary is happily providing UPS USPS shipping to greatly reduce shipping charges on large rock orders.
