A NOTE FROM RUTHIE STEARNS: About a year and a half ago, I began going through the photographs, notes, papers, diaries, and letters belonging to many of the lines of our family, which were saved by many of my recent ancestors, and organized by my parents, Howard and Barbara Stearns. My goal at that time was to catalog the collection in the family and scan the photos. I happened to be googling family names, and stumbled on Melissa’s blog post on Joseph and Nell, only days after she wrote it. What a surprise, and what a wonderful time we’ve had emailing and calling and visiting since then. I’ve learned so much about local Amesbury/Salisbury history, and have shared many of the photos with Melissa since that time.

Likely the most illuminating and valuable part of the collection, are the diaries of Helen (Nell) and Joseph. Helen’s diaries covered 1858 to around 1870, (she died rather suddenly just before her 31st birthday in 1874) and Joseph’s from 1857 to 1870, and then picking up again in late 1880 and ending with his death in 1917. I am attempting to transcribe them all, a task begun decades early by my late sister Anne. She had done many of the diaries of Helen, along with her “Love Letters” which she wrote to Joseph during his 90 day service during the Civil War. I wanted to continue the effort with Joseph’s diaries, and have transcribed about 15 years of his life thus far. It’s been a fascinating task, and I enjoy sharing bits and pieces of the lives of these two ancestors of mine, whose life together was cut short.

Rye Beach, in New Hampshire. Standing is Nettie Florence Gould Stearns. Her daughter Helen Rachel Stearns on the far right. Helen’s father WIlliam Dennett Stearns in the front. Sitting with a coffee cup, is likely Melvin Gould, Nettie’s brother. I don’t know who the couple on the far left is, but the man is not a Gould, making me suspect the woman could be Annie Kinsman Gould Jones, Nettie’s sister, and the man Annie’s husband Forrest Jones of Plaistow, NH. 1920’s.
