From Forgotten NH:

Ellen (Pike) Murphy (1912-1948) and Madeline (Pike) Clarke (1911-1996) were born in Farmington, New Hampshire to parents John and Elizabeth (Cloutman) Pike.

Biddeford-Saco Journal (Biddeford, Maine): "Mrs. John Murphy Dies At Age Of 35. Mrs. Ellen Pike Murphy, 35, wife of John P. Murphy, died Sunday at the Glencliff sanatorium, Glencliff, N.H., after a long illness. She had been in failing health for the past 15 years, and had been at Glencliff for two years. She was born in Farmington, N.H., the daughter of J. Elver and Elizabeth Ellen C. Pike. She graduated from Farmington high school, and Hesser Business College, Manchester, N.H., and the New England School of Fine Arts. She came to the city in 1930 and was employed as a secretary-stenographer until they move to Farmington. She married in 1936 and has one son, L. Michael, 6. Besides, her husband and son, she is survived by her father; a sister, Mrs. John L. Clark., this city; a brother, John E. Pike, New York City, and a nephew and three nieces. Funeral arrangements will be announced later."

Madeleine Pike was married twice—to John Lewis Clarke (three children) and Gerald E. Miller. Records indicate that she was a student nurse in 1930, worked as an attendant floor lady in 1940, and as an office worker for an automobile salesman in 1950.

I purchased this well-preserved portrait taken at a studio in Biddeford, Maine at an antique shop in Scarborough, Maine several months ago. The Pike Sisters’ excited cousin in The Granite State will be receiving their photo this week!

The register contains weather notations, musing on local happenings, details of visits from locals and people from afar, building updates and repairs, remembrances of celebrations, and accounts of day to day tasks and meals. It reads as a who is who of the Farmington, NH community during the four decades it covers.

The cottage was in Alton Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee formerly owned by S.S. Parker of Farmington and S.P. Nute
