"Leola Mae Pomroy was born to Milton Lee and Velma A. (Murphy) Pomroy in 1924 in Seal Cove, Maine. Leola married Walter Eugene Higgins (1918-2010), son of Frederick W. and Beulah B. (Smith) Higgins, on December 14, 1941. Leola Mae Pomroy (later Mrs. Walter Eugene Higgins) is shown kneeling at the well in the yard at the home of her parents in Seal Cove, Maine. In 2009, Leola, looking at this photograph, remembered exactly what she was doing when it was taken. She described it twice to Cassandra Catherine (Cousins) Wright, Mrs. Joseph A. Wright II, who wrote the story of Leola and the Well: “Leola, at age fourteen, was responsible for giving the cows water at the end of the afternoon. Two buckets of water had to be drawn from the well. Leola’s father usually left the cast iron tea kettle which was kept on the wood stove, out on the steps so she could add some warm water to the trough making the water more palatable for the cows. One day Leola was very excited about going with her sister, Hilda [Hilda A. Pomroy (1925-), later Mrs. Howard Merchant] to a local ball game. In her excitement she skipped the teakettle step, but her father, who was churning butter, saw the missed step. He said, “Leola, you did not warm the water.” She said, “You never add warm water to our water bucket.” Needless to say she did not go to the game. Sassing was not permitted. I asked Leola if her sister went to the game without her and she told me, “no”. She explained that the girls were inseparable and went everywhere together. She told me that she had started school at five years old and was so miserable going without Hilda that, after a week of tears and her mother having to bring her home, her parents and the teacher decided to wait a year when the two girls could go to school together. A few weeks ago Joe and I went to Leola’s husband Walter’s graveside memorial service. It was a beautiful day and a large group of family and friends had gathered at the Seal Cove cemetery. Leola and Hilda sat side by side on the two folding chairs provided by the funeral home – holding hands. It was very moving.”"

"Archibald and Mira Dix were great-grandchildren of William Dix Jr. (1776-1814) who was in Tremont when he died in 1814. Archibald L. Dix (1867-after 1940) was born in January 1867 to master mariner John P. Dix and Harriet E. Verrill in Tremont, Maine. Capt. and Mrs. Dix settled in Philadelphia some time between 1870 and 1880. Archibald attended the University of Pennsylvania and became a doctor, graduating from there in 1893. He apparently had some notable success in treating Lupus. Archibald’s sister, Mira Verrill Dix (1870-1934) was born on May 18, 1870. She became a teacher. Archibald and Mira lived together in Philadelphia, with various members of their family, for the rest of their lives. While neither married they were frequently mentioned in the social pages of newspapers as attendants in weddings of their family. On November 18, 1897 Archibald was best man at the wedding of his first cousin, Frederick C. Holden, when Frederick married Maud Wilson in Brooklyn, New York. Frederick C. Holden’s mother, Hannah Augusta Verrill, was a sister of Archibald’s mother, Harriet E. Verrill. Their sister, May E. Dix (1873-), married John Lucas on November 19, 1902 with Myra, “Miss Verrill Dix,” as maid of honor and Archibald serving as an usher. After May’s husband, John Lucas died, she lived with the family in Philadelphia from at least 1920 to 1930. Mira, who sometimes went by the name of Verrill Dix, and her sister, May (Dix) Lucas rented the Miller Cottage in Bar Harbor in 1924. Mira Verrill Dix died c. December 29, 1934 and was buried on January 3, 1935 at the Westminster Cemetery in Marion, Pennsylvania where her father was buried. Her brother, Archibald, signed the papers. Archibald L. Dix died some time after 1940."
