When I visited Maine I went to the Rockland Courier Gazette and went through
their old newspapers there on site ---many so yellowed and crumbling they
could not be removed from the box they were contained in --then we went over
to the Public Library in Rockland where some of the newspapers have been
filmed and they will do look-ups you might try and find them online and
message them about their requirements etc. dianne

> Hi !
> I'm from Nova Scotia (Canada) looking for ancestors in Maine.
> In the early 1900s Albion B. Crocker wrote articles about Tenant's
Harbour for the Courier Gazette in
> Rockland (Knox Co) Maine. He wrote under the pen name "Boze". His father,
Charles Gideon Crocker,
> had kept a diary for many years and "Boze" used this diary as a source for
many of his articles.
> The diary (to my knowledge) has never surfaced among Crocker relatives.
> Albion B. Crocker (1865 - 1940) had a second marriage to Emma J.
MURPHY (1858 - 1949) and I'm wondering if, perhaps, the diary might be in
the possession of HER family ? Albion left Tenant's Harbour and settled in
Somerville, MA .
> Also, is the Courier Gazette still in existence ? If not, are their
archives accessible ?
> Any assistsance or suggestions for further sleuthing, on my part,
would be most appreciated !
> Thank you !
