Schoodic Cove: A History Chapter 2: The Gourley Years (1940 to 1972) Introduction to Chapter 2 In 1940, an unlikely couple, Bill and Kay Gourley, bought the camps at Schoodic Cove from their previous owner. Bill was born in Willimantic into a lower middle class family and received little education. He was employed as a guide at Packard’s Sporting Camps on Sebec Lake and earned money during the winter as a trapper. His wife, Katherine Stowe (Kay) was born in Nebraska into a family whose roots were in Maine. Kay did well in school, aspired to a college education, attended Simmons College in Boston in the mid-30s, and worked for several summers at Packard’s Camps, where she met Bill, married him, readily adapted to life in the woods, and shared his determination to own his own camps. The couple managed to buy the camps at Schoodic Cove in July,1940. They raised a family despite wartime hardship, developed a devoted and decidedly middle class clientele, modernized their operation to a degree without destroying the environment their customers cherished, and ran a successful business for 31 years at the end of which they sold the camps to a group of recreation directors and several of their former clients.

  • A STORY of the WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017
    A STORY OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017 The story of the past of any place or people is a history, but this story is so brief and incomplete, I gave the title of “A Story”. Another person could have written quite a different story based on other facts. This story is based on facts collected from various sources and arranged in three ways. Scattered through one will find pictures, mostly old and mostly found in the Alexander- Crawford Historical Society files or with my families’ files. Following this introduction is a series on pictures taken by my great-grandfather, John McAdam Murchie. Next we have a text describing the past by subject. Those subjects are listed at the beginning of that section. The third section is a story told by place. The story of each of the places (32 townships, 3 plantations and a couple of organized towns) is told briefly, but separately. These stories are mostly in phrases and in chronological order. The listed landowners are very incomplete and meant only to give names to the larger picture of ownership from 1783. Maps supplement the stories. This paper is a work in progress and likely never will be complete. I have learned much through the research and writing of this story. I know that some errors must have found their way onto these pages and they are my errors. I know that this story is very incomplete. I hope correction and additions will be made. This is not my story, it is our story and I have made my words available now so they may be used in the Prospective Planning process.
