Susie was a bookkeeper for many different local businesses over the years, including Stub’s Texaco, Lambert’s Store and
later Clarkeie’s Market, and for her husband’s plumbing business.
She loved to go snowmobiling and spending time with her family. She was especially close to her sisters. She was known for
her cooking, too, and had worked as a cook
at the old Legion Restaurant on Main Street
when she was younger.
Leona leaves behind her husband of 51
years, Norman Broome of Colebrook; her
son, David Broome and his wife Debbie of

GORDON FRIZZELL
Gordon B. Frizzell, 94, of West
Stewartstown, died on Monday morning,
November 17, 2014 at the Upper
Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook,
with his loving family at his side.
He was born in Colebrook on October
28, 1920, and was the middle son of the
late Homer P. and Ethel M. (Jordan)
Frizzell. Gordon was a 1939 graduate of
Canaan Memorial High School. He was
married to Joyce E. Jackson on Christmas
Day in 1947.
Gordon was employed for almost 40
years as a machinist at the Beecher Falls
Division of Ethan Allen. He was a dedicated and faithful member of the Beecher
Falls Volunteer Fire Department for more
than 50 years. Following his retirement in
the late 1990s, Gordon also enjoyed driving a school bus for the Nugent Motor
Company, which is something he had
done in his younger years for his older
brother.
He was an avid Red Sox fan, enjoyed
fishing with his children when they were
young, and enjoyed playing softball. As a
young man, he was instrumental in saving
the life of a woman whose car had fallen
into the Connecticut River. Gordon will be
fondly remembered by his many friends,
family, and brother firefighters as a gentle
soul and a kind gentleman.
Gordon survived from polio in 1953 and
he was a man of integrity, as shown by his
almost 67 years of marriage, his unconditional love for his family and service to
the community.
He leaves behind his wife of more than
66 years, Joyce Frizzell of West
Stewartstown; two sons, Gordon R.
Frizzell and his wife Pauline of South
Carolina; Norman P. Frizzell and his wife
Ann of Gorham, Maine; four daughters,
Cheryl Ann Reno and her husband Wayne

of Boston, Patsy J. Newhart and her husband Ronald of Essex Junction, Vt., and
Janis E. Goshorn and her husband Steven
of Taylor, S.C.; 25 grandchildren and 40
great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by two brothers, Kenneth and Robert Frizzell.
Calling hours were held on Wednesday
evening, November 19 at the Jenkins &
Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A
funeral service was held on Thursday
morning at the Community Baptist
Church in Colebrook, with Pastor Justin
Weberg officiating. Interment followed at

Frizzell’s memory may be made to the

MURIEL LEWIS
Muriel L. Lewis, 86, of Colebrook, died
very unexpectedly on Sunday morning,
November 16, 2014 at the Upper
Connecticut Valley Hospital, surrounded
by her loving family after being recently
stricken at her home.
She was born in Colebrook on October
21, 1928, and was a daughter of the late
Treffle and Florence (Bourassa) Hebert.
She attended a private Catholic school in
Island Pond as a girl, and was later married to the love of her life, Darwin Lewis,
on November 27, 1948. Together they
raised five children.
Muriel was well known and loved by
many. She often remarked on how blessed
she was to have so many caring friends.
She was a very independent woman of
great faith with a large capacity for love
and a wonderful sense of humor. She welcomed all who came to her door, whether
two- or four-legged. Holidays were
always special with Muriel, and she
enjoyed sending little gifts and cards.
Rarely did she miss someone’s birthday or
anniversary. She loved fixing her flowers,
working in her yard, knitting baby blankets and baking goodies to give away.
She was always there for her family, listening to them, giving encouragement and
a dose of reality if needed. She did not do
great things, but was consistent in doing
the pure and simple things. Muriel loved
her family unconditionally and made
everyone feel important and special. She
will be greatly missed by her family and
always remembered as a wonderful wife,
mother, grandmother, aunt and friend.
She is survived by her five children,
Diana Kenison and her husband Terry of
Jefferson, Greg Lewis and his wife Linda
of Colebrook, Julie Lewis and partner
Freddy Bessette of Colebrook, Nathan
Lewis and his wife Lori and Carl Lewis
and his wife Carole, all of Chichester; two
sisters, Isabelle Brunault of Colebrook
and Rachel Rancourt of Stewartstown;
nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and
her loyal feline companion, Jewel.
She was preceded in death by her loving
husband of 44 years, Darwin “Buddy”
Lewis in 1992; a brother, Daniel G. Hebert
Sr.; and a grandson, Brody Kenison.
Calling hours were held Thursday
evening, November 20 at the Jenkins &
Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A
Mass of Christian Burial was held on
Friday morning at St. Brendan’s Catholic
Church in Colebrook, with The Rev. Craig
Cheney as celebrant. Interment followed
at the Colebrook Village Cemetery.
Expressions of sympathy in Mrs. Lewis’
memory may be made to the Mila Rizzo
Foundation for the Protection of Animals,
62 Martin Meadow Pond Road, Lancaster,
NH 03584; to Second Chance Animal
Rescue, 1517 Meadow St., Littleton, NH

Past, Present, and Midge
By Midge Rosebrook
Horseshoes In The Dark
“That sounds like a ringer to me Eddie,”
George Kenison says drily.
My Dad, Ed Sr., winced a little and
replied, “That ain’t no ringer anymore’n
nothin’, Kenison!”
Then Dad would toss his two shoes, and
after hearing a loud clink of steel on steel
chided, “There, by George, I just covered
you!”
“Oh bull, Rosebrook, that shoe hit the
stake and is still rollin’ up Route 135!”
This back-and-forth banter had been
going on for hours, as these two close
friends played their favorite game of
horseshoes well after dark. With a beer in
one hand and a well-used horseshoe in the
other, making strikes over a stake 40 feet
away in pitch blackness, might seem
tough for some. But for George and Dad,
who played each and every night all summer, barring a hard rain, it was as easy as
reaching for a midnight light switch in the
bathroom.
I’d be playing tag, hide-and-seek or
something with the Kenison boys, Chuck
(George Jr.) and his younger brother
Steve, stopping only to watch the men
occasionally and retrieve a runaway
horseshoe for them. Meanwhile, the
women and girls would be in our newly
built 1961 house, visiting, waiting patiently for their husbands and fathers to finish,
which mainly depended on how much
beer was left.
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t
know George and Dot Kenison. George
was a longtime family friend of the
Cantins. He hung out with Philip, William
and Harland when they were teenagers,
before World War II and later as adults.
When Dad married the beautiful Madeline
Cantin, my mother, is most likely when he
started chumming with George.
Back in the early 1950s, when we were
renting John Nadeau’s brick house in the
hollow on Route 135, George and Dad
took an old refrigerator door and rigged it
with a frame to be attached to the front of
Dad’s 1934 Chevy pickup to use as a
snowplow. George would stand up in the
body and lean over the cab while holding
onto a long rope tied to the plow blade.
After Dad reached the snowbank at the
end of the long driveway, George would
haul back on the rope, pulling up the
blade. The refrigerator door proved to be
too light in heavy snow, however, forcing
the two inventors to go back to the drawing board for a better solution.
I’m not sure which one of them found
the old galvanized hot water tank, but I
can remember being at the Kenisons’
house over in South Lunenburg, where
George was cutting it in half with a torch.
How that metal snapped and popped, as he
blasted through it with his cutting torch,
making a pretty blue flame. No one would
dare do this today, because of the toxic
fumes emitted from the galvanizing.
Now cut in half, that hot water tank did
the trick. It was indeed heavier, and stayed
on the ground even in the heaviest of
snow, but now it was much too heavy for
anyone to lift—even a man as strong as
George Kenison. So Dad simply pushed
the snow forward, then he’d back up in the
same path with the blade dragging, set
over, and plow forward again. “It sure
beats doin’ it by hand,” he used to say.
When I started working at the Gulf station, George Kenison was a regular customer and a longtime good friend of Dick
Monahan. There again, as any small town
would have it, Dick was a cousin to the
Cantin boys, as his mother Dora (Hardy)
Monahan and Elisabeth (Hardy) Cantin
were sisters.
Way before I was even thought of, these
two guys had been friends for years.
George and Dot’s kids all bought gas from
Dick, especially Chuck and Steve before
they moved to Alaska. I lost touch with
George, Dot and the kids, seeing them
only hit-or-miss over the years.
That Gulf station’s closing had caused
so many of the folks who frequented it on
a daily basis to lose touch with each other.
It was a gathering place like no other. The
last time I saw George and Dot was at
Country Village when visiting my Uncle
Harley, who was there mending a broken
hip. The enduring love, respect and
patience that George demonstrated toward
his wife of 66 years, who has been suffering from Alzheimer’s, will stay with me
forever. Dot’s face glowed as he quietly
spoke to her, telling her who I was. She
still had that wonderful sparkle in her
eyes.
George himself suffered the loss of a leg
from complications of knee surgery, but it
didn’t dim his enthusiasm for life, or take
away his humor. George Kenison, is how
a real man acts—what a real man is!
After visiting with Uncle Harley, I was
on my way out when he yelled, in his deep
booming voice, “Midge, why don’t you do
a story about this place!” I’m thinking I’ll
be there soon enough myself.
My condolences to the families of
George and Dorothy Kenison for their
loss. What a great pleasure it was for me
to have known them. I’m guessing my
Dad and George may shoot a game or two
of horseshoes from time to time—only
now, in a place where there’s always plenty of light.

ANNIE SMITH
Annie E. (Keazer) Smith, 93, of The
Southgate Community in Shrewsbury,
Mass., died on Saturday, November 15,
2014.
Born in Colebrook on June 22, 1921, she
was a daughter of the late James C. & Eva
(Cook) Keazer. Annie lived and worked
through high school on the 600-acre family
farm, and moved to Uniondale, Long Island,
N.Y., with her first husband, Charles E. Page,
who died in January of 1982.
Annie worked at her husband’s insurance
agency, helping him grow the new and successful company. While in Long Island they
met their close friends, Tom & Margaret
Invent Yourself.
We offer a variety of ways to invent
yourself at White Mountains
Community College:
(Warner) Smith, with whom they spent a lot
of time, traveling to conventions, and playing
bridge and golf. As fate would have it,
Annie’s first husband and Tom’s wife passed
away within a few months of one another,
bringing Tom and Annie together. They were
married in November, 1982 and spent the
next 32 years together.
Annie and Tom spent winters in their home
in Mt. Dora, Fla., and summers on a home
they built on the family farm in Colebrook,
moving to Shrewsbury in June of 2008.
Annie was an avid golfer and was a member
and Club Champion at The Balsams in
Dixville Notch. In her earlier years, Annie
had a love of painting which she later shared
with Tom.
In addition to her first husband, Charles E.
Page, she was predeceased by her siblings,
David, Louisa, Bill, Brandon and Carolyn
Keazer.
She is survived by her husband, Thomas P.
Smith; her children, Charles Page of
Northfield, N.H., Barbara Hermance of
Ancram, N.Y., stepsons Thomas Smith Jr.
and his wife Carol of Hellertown, Pa., and
Jeffrey Smith and his wife Joanne of
Jamaica, N.Y.; her grandchildren, Traci
Ozier, Kearsi Kessler, Lindsey Sadowsky
and Alex Page; step-grandchildren Amanda
Froling and Jennifer Gayron; 11 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Family and friends will gather to honor and
remember Annie’s life at a memorial service,
to be held at a later date in The Chapel at
Southgate in Shrewsbury. Those who wish
may honor Annie’s memory with a donation
to a charity of their choice.

VERA SMITH
Vera F. Smith, 97, of Dalton, died peacefully on the morning of November 15, 2014
at Country Village Center in Lancaster.
Vera was born on March 28, 1917 in St.
Louis, Mo., to Charles A. Flynn and Lillian
Rice Flynn. The family moved to New York
City, where she attended public schools. She
was a graduate of Teachers College at
Columbia University, and had a long career
in teaching, retiring from the City of New
York system.
Vera was married to Edgar C. Smith of
Dalton on September 29, 1945 and together
they enjoyed travel, by station wagon in the
early years, then by private plane and later by
RV. They loved the outdoors. Edgar predeceased her on July 27, 1990.

Obituaries
(Continued From Page 8)
Vera was, by all definitions, a lady. With a
ready smile, she was gracious, vibrant, and
always found a positive in everything. She
enjoyed people, was never judgmental, and
liked to help where she could. Travel
remained a passion, continuing through her
last family camping trip at age 91, and armchair travel after that. She felt that she had
lived a rich, fulfilling and adventuresome
life.
She was a member of the Dalton
Congregational Church, where her greatgrandfather, Thaddeus Metcalf Jr., was a deacon in July, 1866. Vera belonged to the
Dalton Historical Society, the Society for the
Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and
the Connecticut River Watershed Council.
She was an active volunteer at the Gilman
Senior Center for many years, and a devoted
supporter of the Weathervane Theater. She
supported the JROTC at the White
Mountains Regional High School and had
provided scholarships to worthy members of
the nursing program at the White Mountains
Community College in Berlin. Vera served as
supervisor of the Dalton checklist for many
years.
Surviving are her daughter, Nancy L. and
her husband Wayne A. Smith, grandson
Bryant W. Smith, and his daughters Macee
and Piper, all of Dalton. Vera was predeceased by an older sister, Kathleen B. Lynch.
Memorial service arrangements and care
have been entrusted to the Bailey Funeral
Home in Lancaster. Viewing hours were held

Country Fixin’s
(Continued From Page 3)
Faulkner was familiar with the area after
years of vacationing up here, and his wife is
from New Hampshire. When he found the
restaurant for sale on-line he was excited by
the opportunity.
While there was some water damage
caused by freezing pipes, the building was in
good shape, Bill said. The kitchen was intact
and didn’t take too much work to reopen.
Mr. Dicus, who will be handling many of
the day-to-day operations of the restaurant,
said he wanted to open the restaurant,
“because it’s what I’m good at,” and he will
offer “homestyle, comfort food.”
Mr. Faulkner and his family are currently
living with a friend across the river in
Vermont, but are looking for a place in New
Hampshire close to their business. He said so
far the restaurant has been well received by
the community. “Come on in,” Dicus said.
Besides sit-down meals, Country Fixin’s
also offers takeout, and may be reached at
603-636-1974. The restaurant is open from 5
a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday and
Wednesday (closed Monday), and from 5
a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Lancaster FCCLA Students Travel to
Participate in Fall Rally in Manchester
Fifteen members of the Lancaster Lancers
Family, Career and Community Leaders of
America attended a Fall Rally at Camp
Carpenter in Manchester on October 17.
Along with advisor Mrs. Beaton and chaperone Mrs. Hinten the group traveled to kick
off the school year.
The theme for the school year is “Lights,
Camera, Take Action with FCCLA.” The
students participated in many leadership
activities and competitions, such as “The
North Wind Blows,” where they got to meet
new people and learn each other’s interests.
One of the competitions involved creating
a poster to teach others about the organization using the theme. The Lancaster seventhgraders earned a second-place ribbon, as did
the eighth-graders, and the group earned a
first-place blue ribbon for their nametag
design. “It was fun participating in a non-verbal communication activity!” said member
Kaidi.
FCCLA is one of the largest vocational student organizations in the U.S. It encourages
personal growth and leadership development
and prepares teens for the future. More information is available on-line at www.fccla.

day, and next month dozens of Christmas
books will be displayed.
New fiction for November includes Top
Secret by W. E. B. Griffin, and Gray
Mountain by John Grisham. We also have
the latest Dairy of a Wimpy Kid: The Long
Haul. The library is starting to purchase
the “Wheel of Time” books by Robert
Jordon; the first two books are in, and a
few other later volumes have been donated. Also, in the past year the library has
slowly been increasing its fantasy and science fiction collection by purchase or
donation.
A number of series in this genre are
available from authors like David
Eddings, James Dashner, Margaret Weiss
and Tracy Hickman, which can be a great
escape on long winter days. Donations of
good fantasy and sci fi reads are most welcome, and the librarian may be inspired to
quote lines from the “Star Wars: A New
Hope” script or engage in some Star Trek
jokes.
Local patrons have donated 23 new
movies that are worth stopping to check
out. New DVDs purchased this month
include “Noah”, “The Fault in Our Stars”,
“Godzilla” and “Maleficent.”
Patrons may bring in a laptop, tablet or
other device and get connected to the
library’s free wireless Internet, and gain
access to eBooks. Twin Mountain’s is also
one of the few pet-friendly libraries in the
state, and well-behaved dogs may even
get a treat during their visit.
The library is housed in the Carroll
Town Hall and is open from 4 to 8 p.m.
Mondays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays, 1 to
5 p.m. Wednesdays, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
and Saturdays. Patrons can also renew
checked items by calling 846-5818 and
leaving a message, or by e-mail to [email protected]. The library
Facebook page is “Twin Mountain Public
Library.”
