“It shall be the duty of every Pastor to cause every Sunday School under his charge to observe the second Sunday in June, or such other Sunday as may be more convenient, as Children’s Day, and upon said day, as part of the service, he shall take a collection to be devoted to the Sunday School Children’s Fund. The Pastor shall forward the collection aforesaid directly to the same to his Annual Conference under the head of “Children’s Fund;” and all educational money, except the Children’s Fund, shall be reported to the Annual Conference under the head of “Other educational objects.”” Quoted from“The Doctrines and Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1892” p. 164 – From the Collection of the Harvard Library, Google Book Search.

The back of this photograph, in the Whitmore family collection, says: "Harriet, dau. Of Enoch and Charlotte (Kimball) Boynton of Groveland, Mass. Born about 1862. Ancestry line. William Boynton - 1 - & Sarah Jackson Joshua Boynton - 2 - & Hannah Barnett Joshua Boynton - 3 - & Sarah Dole Enoch Boynton - 4 - & Rachel Foster Enoch Boynton - 5 - & Abigail Farren Methusalah Boynton - 6 - & Amelia Dodge Enoch Boynton - 7 - & Charlotte Kimball Harriet and her brother Charles, living out at Seattle This photo 1894" These facts agree with a mixture of other accounts and would lead one to suppose that Harriet's photograph was kept by the Whitmore family, who intermarried with the Carrolls and Lurveys, because Harriet was a first cousin twice removed to Rachel Foster Lurvey (1791-1881), Mrs. John Carroll. Harriet was, therefore, in her own generation a third cousin to the ten children of Jacob William and Rebecca (Whitmore) Lurvey Carroll.

The view is from the Pemetic Hotel (The Castle) and, on the Southwest Harbor side, shows the Clarence Clark (Ellsbert/Heilaka) house left foreground. The long roofed building in the center, next to the harbor, a bowling alley after World War II - currently the Hamilton Marine building. The building on the right with the striped roof is the firm of Clark & Parker/Manset Marine Supply Co./ and the Oceanarium since 1979. The Oceanarium is the oldest commercial building on Clark Point - the only one extant except the Clarence Clark House. The Manset shore is in the background with discernible landmarks, including the Manset Union Church, the Stanley wharf, the early Stanley House and numerous commercial buildings on the Shore Road. There are about 30 schooners visible in the harbor and tied up at the wharves. - Identifications by Meredith Hutchins - 2006
