Woodburn Encourages High School
Students to Become Senate Pages
N.H. Senator Jeff Woodburn (D-Dalton)
invites interested high school students to
consider applying for the New Hampshire
Senate Page Program. “Being a page in
the Senate is a unique opportunity to learn
about and participate in state government,” said Sen. Woodburn, a former high
school civics teacher.
While taking part in the Senate Page
Program, students will be active partici-
pants in an actual Senate session, obtaining a first-hand learning experience
regarding the role of the legislators in state
government. Student Pages are asked to
assist the Senate Clerk’s Office and other
staff members with a variety of duties that
contribute to the ultimate creation of new
state laws. In addition, students have an
opportunity to meet their own Senators

EVELYN MILLER
Evelyn, known as Ma, Mom and Gram,
died peacefully in her apartment at
Rosewood Park Retirement Home in
Hillsboro, Ore., from congestive heart fail-
ure on November 22, 2014. She was a loving, gentle and caring woman who gave
wonderful hugs.
One of nine children born to Ellen
Morgan and Robert Tippitt, she was born in
Groveton on January 2, 1926 and spent the
majority of her life in Groveton and
Northumberland. She was married to John
“Dusty” Miller for 55 years, until his death
in 1997, and they had seven children.
Mom’s love was her family, and she was
a very hard worker. She chopped wood,
hauled water and washed laundry by hand
in addition to doing all the cooking, baking
and housekeeping with the smallest of
budgets. Evelyn also cleaned houses for
elderly clients in the neighborhood, because
she did not learn to drive until she was in
her late forties. She worked for Lancaster
Hospital in the housekeeping department
for 17 years, from March of 1973 to April of
1990.
Mom loved playing cards, reading and
sewing. She was the glue that held her family together over several very difficult,
financially challenging decades. She was
uncommonly mellow and understanding,
almost to a fault. She rarely got angry or
acted out, but on those rare occasions she
got one’s complete attention very quickly
and got her point across very clearly.
She was the greatest of human beings and
treated everyone in her circle of influence
with great respect. Everyone who was near
and close to her held her in great admiration. Even the staff at Rosewood said on
many occasions how much they appreciated
her demeanor and pleasant attitude. She had
several major health concerns, but didn’t
make them the forefront of her day-to-day
living. Instead, she just forged ahead with
the rest of life.
She learned so much about life, from just
living, and passed it on to those who were
lucky enough to have spent so many quality times with her. She will continue to live
on in the hearts and memories of all of those
she touched so profoundly and will be
greatly missed at all of the family’s future
gatherings.
Mom also loved traveling with family and
was blessed with many trips to Canada, the
Pacific Northwest, Florida and Europe.
Evelyn is survived by her children, Alicia
Miller, John Miller, William and his wife
Carol Miller, and Janice and her husband
Darryl Farley; her sister, Doris Tetreault;
her brother, Robert and his wife Ginny
Tippitt; and many, many relatives and
grandchildren.
Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Ellen Morgan and Robert Tippitt; sisters Vernie LeMay, Sarah Newton, Alice
DaCunha, Lucy Allen and Lorraine
Tetreault; brother Warren Tippitt; her husband John Miller; daughter Shirley Miller
Esquivel; and son Wayne Miller.
A graveside service for Evelyn and son
Wayne will be held at the Ridgewell
Cemetery in Guildhall on Saturday, July 18,
2015 at 11 a.m., with a memorial immediately following at the Town Hall.
Arrangements are under the direction of the
Armstrong-Charron Funeral Home in
Groveton, and those who wish to extend
condolences via the on-line guest book may

.com.

Morrison Recognized for Achieving
SHARP Certification from OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration has recognized the
Morrison skilled nursing home and assisted living facility in Whitefield with a
SHARP certificate under its Safety and
Health Achievement Recognition Program. The Morrison is one of only 10
businesses in the state to attain this certification, and the recognition ceremony on
November 21 was attended by OSHA officials and U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte.
“This is an outstanding achievement on
the part of the staff at The Morrison,” said
CEO Roxie Severance, “because the culture of the organization had to change so
that staff members always think about
their own and their co-worker’s safety at
work. Director of Support Services Travis
LeBrun worked closely with OSHA and
led the way.”
Organizations with SHARP status are an
elite group of small businesses that maintain exemplary injury and illness prevention programs. SHARP grants a business
an exemption from OSHA programmed
inspections for up to two years, and subsequent renewal for up to three years. In the
meantime, the business must continue to
meet all SHARP eligibility criteria and
program requirements. Participation in
SHARP does not eliminate the responsibilities of owners or rights of workers
under OSHA.
“It took a team effort to make this happen,” said Sen. Ayotte, praising Mr.
LeBrun and The Morrison staff. She went
on to present Mr. LeBrun with a SHARP
plaque in recognition of the facility’s having met all of the requirements for the designation.
“It’s hard to go beyond OSHA code,”
said OSHA assistant area director George
Kilens. “Morrison is only the second
health care facility in New Hampshire to
receive SHARP designation, and there are
only 10 organizations in the state (with
SHARP certification).”
Teresa Ferrara, an industrial hygienist
with WorkWISE NH, the New Hampshire
OSHA Consultation Program based at
Keene State College, praised Mr. LeBrun
for his initiative in inviting OSHA into
The Morrison and the hard work that led
toward the SHARP certificate. “Morrison
had to alleviate any hazards and any
potential hazards,” she said. “Nursing
home hazards are up there with coal
mines. It all came down to the staff and
LeBrun’s leadership.”

Living Poor, But For Only
364 Days A Year
Back before America’s disadvantaged
citizens were receiving food stamps, welfare checks or subsidized housing from
the federal government—which is now
close to $20 trillion in debt—being poor
really did mean not having much. It’s not
to say that giving someone a hand up is all
bad, but when we stop looking for work
because we’d be losing our welfare checks
if we started making too much money,
where has our pride gone?
My father worked very hard in the
1950s, juggling grain by hand for the Park
and Pollard Feed Company and later for
Merrimack Farmers Exchange. He handled 100-pound grain bags, often two at a
time, from the back of a canvas-covered,
six-wheeled truck and into a farmer’s
barn. Many farms required these heavy
bags to be carried up to the second floor,
where they could then distribute the grain
down through trap doors.
If I said Dad earned $50 bucks takehome pay per week, I wouldn’t be far off,
and $20 of that went toward food. Our
mother was a stay-at-home Mom. We
were living in a 38-foot trailer with threeinch-thick walls and single-paned, roll-out
windows—the kind with six narrow strips
of glass that tip out when cranked. The
only source of heat came from a kerosenefed, forced-hot-air furnace in the living
room. By the time the heat traveled
through the little air duct, running next to
the wall behind the closets and along the
floor to the back bedroom where we kids
slept, there wasn’t much warmth left.
The three of us all slept sideways on a
full bed, tight against the rear wall, facing
north, with my spot at the foot of the bed
tight to the west wall. Mike slept in the
middle with Patty on the other end, next to
the bathroom wall. Patty was taller than us
boys, so her feet stuck out over the side
when she straightened her legs. Mom
always made sure we were plenty warm,
with layers of blankets topped off with a
heavy quilt. Whatever position you were
in when the heavy blankets were piled on,
that’s where you stayed for the night.
On really cold, 20-below-zero winter
mornings, my getting out of bed wasn’t
easy. The frost would stick the big quilt to
the wall. Trying to squirm out from under
those heavy blankets without disturbing
my little pre-school brother took some
doing, and the floor was always ice-cold,
so wearing slippers was a must.
Patty and I would watch for Lee
Merrow’s school bus, taking turns clearing the frost off the window in our bedroom by blowing our breath on the glass.
When his bus appeared over the hill we’d
scramble to get our boots on before he
pulled up out front.
As Christmas neared, we kids would
practically wear out the pages of the Sears
and Roebuck toy catalog, trying to find
something new and still stay under the $10
limit set by our mother. Staying at that $10
limit was a huge dilemma, because all the
really cool stuff was between $15 and $20.
No amount of begging for a toy price raise
could sway our chief cook and bottle
washer. Taking $30 out of a $50 paycheck,
with $20 going to Frank Smith Co. for
food, left zero money for Fitch Fuel or
Public Service, should these bills appear.
As poor as we may have seemed to
some, we didn’t think of ourselves as
poor, though. There were other families
worse off than we were for sure. I can tell
you when Christmas morning came,
thanks to the generosity of our grandparents Gladys and Earl Rosebrook,
Grammie’s sister Aunt Mildred (Silver),
along with Aunt Edna and Uncle Dick
Monahan, we kids had plenty, indeed!
There was hardly room for people in the
living room of that trailer, due to the size
and the number of gifts we received.
Our folks would sputter about Dad’s
parents, his sister and brother-in-law
going overboard with gifts. “They’re
going to spoil these kids, Eddie,” Mom
would say. “Now they’ll expect to get this
all the time.” Well, they did spoil us, year
after year back then. One day while my
Dad and I were sitting around reminiscing, he brought that subject up. “Ya know,
young fella, if it wasn’t for your grandparents and Edna and Richard, you kids
woulda had nothin’ for Christmas.” He
was right.
Our grandfather Earl would come down
to pass out presents on Christmas morning, and we were not to open any of the
abundant gifts until he got there, which
wasn’t ever soon enough for us kids!
Mom and Dad always made sure we were
still aware of our poor status while we
were unwrapping our gifts:
“You kids be careful now, to not tear
that wrapping paper! We can use that
paper next year! Here—better give me
that package and I’ll cut the tape with my
jackknife, so it won’t tear,” Dad says.

FRANCES TETREAULT
Frances Dorothy Tetreault, 82, died on
November 25, 2014, at JFK Medical
Center in Atlantis, Fla. She was the
beloved wife of the late Richard A.
Tetreault.
Frances was born on May 9, 1932 in
Jackman, Maine, and was the daughter of
the late Eugenie (Champagne) and Willie
Poulin. She was a longtime resident of
Stratford, where she attended Stratford
Public School. She was employed by the
Brown Co. and by several area restaurants.
One of Frances’ greatest joys was
spending time with family and friends,
never missing an opportunity to get
together. She was an active member of the
Sacred Heart Parish in Stratford, and the
Pointe Overlook Social Club in Lantana,
Fla., where she spent many winters.
In addition to her parents and her husband, Frances was preceded in death by
two sisters, Denise Curtis and Rita Platt,
and a brother, Larry Poulin.
Frances is survived by a son, David
Tetreault and his wife Lisa of Groveton;
two daughters, Shirley Orrino and her
husband Domenic of Foxboro, Mass., and
Debra Bernard of Nashua; six grandchildren, Karen Cutter and her husband Jim,
Stacey Dubois and her husband Mark,
Melissa Collins, Tricia Koxarakis and her
husband Chris, Jeffrey Tetreault and
Derek Orrino; nine great-grandchildren,
Kaylah and Marissa Ravagno, Hailee
Collins, Kiara and Keaton Koxarakis,
Reese and Hadley Dubois, Brianna and
Brayden Cutter; two sisters, Anita King of
Stratford and Rose Morris of Goffstown; a
brother, Joseph (Tippy) Poulin of
Glastonbury, Conn.; several brothers and
sisters-in law; and numerous nieces and
nephews.
A memorial service at Sacred Heart
Church and interment at Fairview Cemetery
in Stratford will be held in the late spring.

Who do You Love the Most, a Son, Daughter, Mother or Father?
Matthew 10:37; He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
The Bible is translated from Hebrew and Greek with many words which can
differ from our English understanding. Abundantly loving our Family members is
of great concern to God. The word “worthy” translated from the Greek in the
verse above is best understood as having heavy value, weight of a thing,
weighing as much as another thing. The Love of family should not be of equal
weight as compared to the Love we have for God and his Glory. Mark 12:30
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. The King James Holy Bible is our authority. The Northwood’s
Christian Fellowship presents “The 1st Commandment”. The NCF is not
affiliated with any church or denomination. KJV Bible Studies twice a
month, all welcome Wed. evenings. Request more info by writing; NCF,

The Cohos Historical Society’s annual
Memory Tree offering will be available in
two places this year, with one tree placed
on the Town Common and another in front
of the Marion Blodgett Museum in
Stratford Hollow. As the names come in
they will be placed on the tree of each
donor’s choice, and donors may choose
one tree or both for no additional cost.
The Memory Tree serves as a fund-raiser to cover the cost of the Cohos Historical
Society’s insurance for next year, along
with other operating expenses, so donations are gratefully accepted. Participants
in the Memory Tree may send the names
of those to be remembered and checks
payable to the Cohos Historical Society to
PO Box 262, North Stratford NH 03590.
Remembrances for pets are welcome also,
and donors are asked to note that the
memory is for a pet.
