2023-11-02 The Murch Bench, located in Bayside, ME’s Auditorium Park and submitted by Beverly Crofoot on behalf of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society. This bench was installed in Memory of Bernice V. Murch (1912-1984) and Rexford Murch (1910-2001), and Sandy Hall interviewed Marge Murch Brockway in August 2023 for the BHPS. “Bernice (Bunny) and Rexford (Rex) Murch were Marge’s parents. The bench was donated to the village by Richard Tardif (1933-2023), a neighbor and friend, who bought and assembled the components, and labelled the bench in honor of the Murches. This was the first bench to be established in Auditorium Park. Rex’s mother was the first Murch to come to Bayside. She lived in the Bangor area and had visited Bayside when the Eddington Cottage was still a society cottage, renting a room there. When the Eddington Methodists decided to dissolve their ownership of the cottage, they sold interests in the building by room. Participants each bought their upstairs room, which came with a joint interest in the common kitchen and living areas on the first floor. Mrs. Murch, who was a widow by that time, decided to buy up each bedroom share as it became available, and, by 1938, owned the entire cottage in that manner. The cottage became Rex’s at some point in time; details are not available for that transaction. Rex and Bunny had three children, Margaret (now Marge Brockway), David, and Fred. Ultimately, Marge and husband Richard (Dick) inherited the Eddington Cottage, as David and Fred had no interest in cottage ownership in Bayside. Now in 2023, Dick Brockway has passed away. He and Marge have no children, so Marge’s expectation is that the Eddington cottage and the Beale cottage (on lower Clinton Street, which they also own) will pass to two of Marge’s brother David’s daughters, thus continuing the family ownership tradition in Bayside.” Please consider joining the BHPS at https://www.baysidehps.org/index.php/donations/648/. #tbt #benches #memorialbenches #auditoriumpark #cottagelife #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

2023-10-26 Welcome to Bayside, submitted by Beverly Crofoot on behalf of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society. Peg (Hayward) Wolley wrote the following this month in Memory of Wilbur and Gladys Hayward. “My grandparents, Wilbur and Gladys Hayward, bought the cottage on Clinton Avenue in 1960. They were very good friends with the Samuelsons, who owned the cottages across the street (now Lojek properties), and that is how they found Bayside. My grandparents spent summers in Bayside, with loads of family visiting every summer. My grandfather was responsible for putting up and taking down the American Flag that was at the end of my street. I vividly remember walking down at sunrise to raise the flag with my grandfather, then crossing the street to get water for the day from the pump. (I can still taste how good that water was!) When my grandparents passed away, my parents, Bill and Rachael Hayward, donated the sign at the end of Clinton in memory of my grandparents. The tradition continued with my parents spending summers in Bayside, hosting family and friends all summer; now it continues with me. As you can see from photo (wish I knew the date), the cottage was at one time a restaurant. An opening from the kitchen to the living room still exists and I assume that is where they passed food through to the dining area. I’ve always been intrigued as to how the cottage went from three stories to two (at the time my grandparents bought it). I assume there was a fire at some point (one of my many retirement projects to investigate!). I’m not totally sure how the cottage came to be named Tu-Dor but my grandfather was quite a character, and I always assumed it was a play on words as there are two doors, and it was a Tu-Dor style structure.” Please consider joining the BHPS at https://www.baysidehps.org/index.php/donations/648/. #tbt #cottagelife #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

The extreme amount of acorns this year is a phenomenon called “masting.” According to the article at https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/10/04/acorn-mast-year/, “Masting confers an evolutionary advantage in that seed predators are satiated to such a degree that more seeds escape being eaten in masting years and therefore germinate and compete for space, sunlight and soil.” #masting #acorns #somanyacorns #hardonthefeet #luckysquirrels #baysidemaine

2023-10-12 Morris Park, submitted by Beverly Crofoot on behalf of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society. The dedication of Bayside, ME’s Albert E. Morris Memorial Park, now known as Auditorium Park, was reported in the Courier Gazette on August 21, 1937, as follows: “Patriotic Exercises Held at Bayside With Musical Program – Tablet Unveiled and Gifts Made – A dedication was held Thursday on the ground of the Methodist Campmeeting auditorium at Bayside. A short address was given by the president of the Northport Society of Willing Workers Emma L. Torrey, who acted as chairman. She presented a new approach to the beach, also a large flag from the Willing Workers in memory of the Wesleyan Grove Campmeeting Association and Dr. Albert E. Morris. The flag was raised by the widow, Mrs. Emma W. Morris, attended by Paul A. Morris and Capt. Ernest M. Torrey. A trumpet solo call to the colors was played by Nancy Parkinson. A tableau was formed by Jeanette and Marion Hook, Marion Keith, Paula Mills, Barbara Sibley, Sybil Kuhule, Sheila Flanders, Mary L. Carey, Elaine Sullivan, Joan Short, Jean Parkinson and Gladys Baker, each carrying a flag. The old Bible was held by Pauline Edgecomb and the bell run[g] by Mrs. Ellenor Morris for the 85 years attended by Joan VanCampen. A violin and piano duet was played by Miriam Edgecomb and Ellenor Morris; vocal solo, Gabriel Guedy. A tablet in memory of the Wesleyan Grove Campmeeting Assn. 1849-1934 was unveiled by the president, Paul A. Morris and son of the late Dr. Albert E. Morris who also renamed the park the Alfred E. Morris Memorial Park. An address was given by Rev. Charles W. Martin and the flag was lowered at half mast by Capt. Ernest M. Torrey for Dr. Morris. Taps were sounded and the singing of ‘America,’ prayer and benediction closed the ceremonies.

2023-09-18 And Now for this Bulletin (Board), photographed in Bayside, ME Sunday by Beanie Einstein. The Ruggles Park bulletin board was toppled by the tropical storm winds on Saturday. Along with a lot of other clean-up completed in the village on Sunday, Don and Dan Webster (center and right) and Leo Lundy replaced the rotted posts, dug new holes, and re-installed the main bulletin board. Village Agent Billy Paige (in the background) came by for the final inspection and gave his approval. It was also Bill’s suggestion to move the location a couple feet toward the basketball court so readers no longer need to worry about hitting their heads on the roof…brilliant! #stormdamage #stormcleanup #bulletinboard #communityservice #rugglespark #baysidemaine

The storm started as a hurricane but was downgraded when it neared New England. The strong winds caused numerous trees and limbs to fall, causing road closures and power outages. Boats remaining appeared unscathed by early afternoon. In photo, from the left, Liv Lundy, Alma Bewsher and Aisla Bewsher try to dodge the spray.

2023-08-31 Auditorium Park in Bayside, ME, from the collection of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society. Auditorium Park, also known as the Albert E. Morris Memorial Park, just below Merithew Square, was the site of the camp meetings, beginning in 1849. Originally, meetings were held outdoors; first with a tent covering for the elders (note women on one side, men on the other). Mr. Morris of Bangor was the manager of the camp meetings during the 1920s. In 1849, 28 acres were purchased by the Eastern Conference of Methodist Preachers for this religious campground. Methodists from Thomaston to Orono and 30 miles inland came to pitch their tents on the wooded shore to worship together. These society or church tents were pitched in a circle in the area known as Auditorium Park. Before 1893, the camp meeting services were held in the open air beneath the shade of the Grove, though the preachers and elders were sheltered under canvas. The Auditorium was built in 1893 to provide shelter from the elements during camp meeting. It was taken down in 1934. A Dick Brockway model of the auditorium is available for viewing in the lower level of the Bayside Community Hall.

Merithew of Searsport had in locating the camp meeting in Northport. “According to a call made by the Presiding Elder of the Thomaston District, the Delegates appointed by the various charges interested in a Camp Meeting in the Penobscot Valley, met in Bucksport June 21, 1849…The committee appointed at the Long Island (i.e., Islesboro) Camp Meeting” (in 1848) “to lease or purchase, and prepare a suitable place for our future Camp Meetings being present, made the Statement that a lot of land had been purchased for that purpose in the town of Northport, that said lot contained about thirty acres and that its cost is be $200.” Said Committee of seven was comprised of lay men and preachers – Smith, Merithew, Coombs, Blake, Mitchell, Scott, Stevens. The glass plate negative of this Eastern Illustrating photograph was given to the Bayside Historical Preservation Society by Janet Pattee. BHPS donated the negatives to the Penobscot Marine Museum. Kevin Johnson, photo archivist at PMM, will be giving a presentation at the Community Hall, Monday, August 21 at 6:30 PM. Come see some wonderful views of Bayside.

2023-08-14 Bagged, photographed at the Bayside, ME Community Hall on Sunday by Steve Nelson. Patti Wright provides the following update: “The 2023 Fill Our Hall Food Drive to benefit the Northport Food Pantry was wonderfully successful. We will have more to report in another post, but we want to thank the entire Bayside Community for this year’s success. We will be very busy sorting and shelving all the donated food (over 700 lbs.) in the next few days, but special thanks go to the fabulous volunteers on Sunday. Pictured in the photo are (from left to right beginning with the back row): Eloise Mooney, Ailsa Bewsher, Isabella Fryer, Alma Bewsher, Jack Fryer, Nils Andren, and Jasper Carver. Kneeling are Everett Fryer and Otis Mooney. We are extremely grateful every year for our youth volunteers. We are so pleased to have young people who are kind, conscientious, competent, and caring. Isabella and Jack Fryer, along with Henry Andren, who was unable to join us Sunday, have volunteered for the Pantry multiple times during the summer. We also had the benefit of community adults including Paula Foley Stelmack, Gordon Fuller, Anna Carver, and Steve Wright. We are additionally grateful for the conscientious involvement of Village Agent Bill Paige, who made sure the Community Hall was ready for this mission and who guided us on building etiquette. Northport Town Clerk and longtime Village-Right-Hand Amy Eldridge also stopped in to be sure everything was running smoothly. With our youth volunteers, that was a resounding ‘yes.’ Amy is also a longtime volunteer and board member of the Pantry. She is the person who brings all the donated food dropped at the Town Office to the Pantry throughout the year. In addition to all the food that was collected and transported to the Pantry today, we received generous financial donations that will help us restock our shelves, provide gift cards, and keep our program strong and resilient into the fall and winter. Many, many humble thanks.” Thanks to you, too, Patti! @snlsn #northportfoodpantry #fooddrive #fillourhall #fillthehall #communityservice #communityhall #baysidemaine

2023-08-09 Annual Meeting Time, photographed by Steve Nelson at the August 8, 2023 Annual Meeting of the Northport Village Corporation in Bayside, ME. The Annual Meeting was relocated indoors from the basketball court due to inclement weather. About 70-80 residents attended to vote on the annual warrant (available in the annual report at https://www.nvcmaine.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/nvc_anuual-report_2023-_covers.pdf). All warrant articles passed. The Village budget that was adopted will result in an approximate 18.5% tax increase next year. Michael Tirrell and Jeffrey Wilt were re-elected to three-year terms as Overseers, and Wendy Huntoon was re-elected to another three-year term as Treasurer. Thank you to Steve Nelson for the excellent photos of this annual tradition.

2023-08-05 Dedication, photographed by Steve Nelson at the Bayside, ME Community Hall on August 4, 2023 during the Northport Village Corporation’s Inaugural Dedication Ceremony. At the ceremony, which seems to have drawn a larger audience than even the Annual Meeting (occurring next Tuesday at 6 PM!), Blair and Beanie Einstein were honored for their decades of quiet contributions to the village. The lengthy standing ovation was testament to how important those many contributions are to the fabric of Bayside. Thank you, Beanie and Blair! Overseer Michael Tirrell did an outstanding job MC-ing the ceremony, and the full dedication write-up is on pages 3-4 of the NVC’s 2023 Annual Report, available at the Village office or the Blair Agency and online at https://www.nvcmaine.org/2023-nvc-annual-report…/. #dedication #communityservice #quietcontributions #ittakesavillage #thankyou #baysidemaine

2023-08-03 Scribner Park, from the collection of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society. Scribner Park, at the intersection of Clinton Avenue and George Street in Bayside, ME, was the location of one entrance to the Wesleyan Grove camp meeting. It was named for Fred A. Scribner (1877-1953), Overseer and the Village Agent. Jean Witherill shared the following memory of Fred, who saw to it that Bayside was well maintained. “Today, most Baysiders think of this park as the location of the Library. However this happened as a result of a totally non-book related building project. After NVC bought the Mountain Spring Water Company in 1980, a well was drilled in Scribner Park, and a utility building was constructed to house the pump, etc. Eldon Pond (father of Sue Fleming) was quite active in this project and felt that the simple building should fit in with the cottage style. His name and that of his wife Henrietta are commemorated with a plaque amongst the plantings near the present-day library. The building served that water-related function until NVC connected to Belfast for our water supply in 1999. As the building was no longer needed by the water department, residents converted it to a library. Books were donated by residents, with some unsold books from the friends of Belfast Free Library add (through the efforts of Alice Stein, former NVC Treasurer). Later, Tim Samway and his family paid to add an additional building and the courtyard to honor their mother, Frances Samway. The memorial bench is dedicated to the Cross Family; two sisters, Harriette Cross Henninger and Eleanor Cross Nunn, lived on Broadway. The ‘Welcome to Bayside’ sign was donated by Wilbur Hayward, whose family has the Tudor cottage on Clinton Avenue.” Please consider joining the BHPS at https://www.baysidehps.org/index.php/donations/648/. #tbt #scribnerpark #baysidelibrary #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

Scott puts in and retrieves our moorings each year, puts in and hooks up the boat float, swim float, dingy out float, the sailing school moorings, and, most recently, the new No Wake buoys. Scott starts early in the morning and works until the wind comes up! Thank you for all that you do, Scott.” #mooringman #keepingthingsanchored #baysidemarine #penobscotbay #baysidemaine

The worst thing was finding a woman’s wallet with all of her important docs. One of the best things was that she was found a few hours later and was met with open arms by the MOYS crew. Cathie Ross (pictured on right) even gave her a handbag to keep her wallet safe. All’s well that ends well!” Thank you to event chair Celine Bewsher and her large crew of helpers for this terrific Northport Yacht Club sailing school fundraiser. @nyc_bayside #lostandfound #yardsale #reunited #communityservice #baysidemaine

Beverly Crofoot has previously provided the following bit of history on Society Cottages: “Bayside began in 1849 as the Northport Wesleyan Grove Camp Meeting Association. This was after its first meeting in 1848 on Islesboro. NWGCMA was chartered by the state legislature in 1873 and, by 1876, there were 278 canvas tents and 70 permanent cottages. Churches from the Penobscot River towns came for two weeks in August/September for a religious retreat. Initially they stayed in cottages–a curtain down the middle to separate men and women. Later, ‘Society Cottages’ were built, and men were (sometimes) on one floor and women on another.” Please consider joining the BHPS at https://www.baysidehps.org/index.php/donations/648/. #tbt #societycottages #cottagelife #oldbayside @baysidehps #bhps #baysidemaine

2023-06-22 Blaisdell Park, from the collection of the Penobscot Marine Museum’s Eastern Illustrating Collection by way of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society (BHPS). The following description is from Beverly Crofoot: Blaisdell Park, abutting Sea and Bay Streets, was donated to the Village after the death of Philo Blaisdell and bears his name “to be forever used as a public common for the benefit of the children and friends of Bayside.” (Deed of 7-7-1927, vol. 368, p. 20). Mr. Blaisdell served as an Overseer from 1915 until his death in 1926. The Blaisdell family summered in one of the larger cottages in the Village at #4 Bay St. This cottage had seven owners since the first deed was issued in 1881 to a Susan Sargent. Its third owner, Sarah Grant Blaisdell was the wife of Philo Blaisdell of Winterport. Previously, the Blaisdells lived at Merithew Square in “The Tower.” More recently, the cottage on Bay Street was home to Janet Collett Pattee, who generously donated her collection of Eastern Illustration glass plate negatives to the BHPS. She also allowed Mel Gibson to be filmed at her home for the movie “Man Without A Face.” That was a fun-filled summer for many in Bayside. The movie crew temporarily had their food wagon set up in Blaisdell Park.

2023-05-11 Mildred, posted by Joanne Cough Smith on the Facebook Group page Old Pictures of Forgotten Maine (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2107225159500244/). The writing reads, “Waiting for the Boston Boat at Bayside (ME) Wharf.” Along with the photo was the following post, from the Washington Post “a few years ago” (as of 2019: “Bayside is a throwback to a less frenzied era. The village began as a Methodist camp in the 1850s, when thousands of faithful from around New England gathered each summer on 30 acres of oceanfront to eat, pray and socialize. Then, horse-drawn wagons clogged the dirt roads, steamers disgorged passengers at the dock, and the temporary campgrounds soon were built into permanent cottages. Now, village zoning regulations ban commercial development and the only businesses in town are a real-estate agency that was grandfathered in and the Northport Yacht Club, headquartered in a tiny, weathered, one-room shack next to the pier. There are no billboards, no stoplights and only one stop sign.” #tbt #waitingfortheboat #horsedrawncarriage #oldpicturesofforgottenmaine #steamship #thewharf #baysidemaine

2023-01-16 Blue Bottle Curiosity, photographed by Amy Tingle in Bayside, ME. “Maya and I went for a walk on ‘Sandy Beach’ to check out the storm erosion last week, and I was looking at all the exposed tree roots when I spotted something blue. I got closer and realized a root had grown THROUGH this bottle and snapped the bottom clean off. But the bottle is perfectly intact otherwise. I snapped the root to bring it home, and we looked it up and found information about Bromo-Seltzer at https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=Bromo-Seltzer. Everything about this beach treasure is cool! #seaglass #beachcuriosities #bromoseltzer bromo seltzer#baysidemaine

2023-01-05 Wesleyan Grove House, from the collection of the Bayside Historical Preservation Society. Beverly Crofoot submits the following: “In 1875 the Wesleyan Grove house, shown here, was built. The Auditorium was also built that year at a cost of $5,704.66. There were 400 tents and cottages on the campgrounds that summer. In 1882 the Grove House was remodeled with dormers on the second floor. Among the changes already proposed for the season of 1882, are important improvements at the Wesleyan Grove House. At present a portion of the ground floor of the hotel is occupied as a store and the proprietor of the hotel is in charge. It is proposed to entirely separate the store and the hotel, and locate the store in a building which will be erected specially for the purpose, and will be under the charge of a man who can devote his entire energies to it. The portion of the hotel building now occupied by the store will be fitted up as an office and dining hall, and the present dining hall will be divided off into rooms for guests, thus materially increasing the capacity of the popular Wesleyan Grove House.” The timeline, printed in the Bayside history, indicates that the Waverly House (previously called the Wesleyan Grove House) burned in 1888. It had been built in 1875. The hotel was built in the early 1890s and burned in 1919.
