LEONA BROOME Leona “Susie” M. Broome, 69, of Colebrook, died on Friday evening, November 14, 2014 at the DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, after a recent period of failing health. She was born in West Stewartstown on November 6, 1945 to Perley and Beatrice (Dobson) Grover. Susie attended local schools and was married to Norman Broome on November 16, 1963. Susie was a bookkeeper for many different local businesses over the years, including Stub’s Texaco, Lambert’s Store and later Clarkeie’s Market, and for her husband’s plumbing business. She loved to go snowmobiling and spending time with her family. She was especially close to her sisters. She was known for her cooking, too, and had worked as a cook at the old Legion Restaurant on Main Street when she was younger. Leona leaves behind her husband of 51 years, Norman Broome of Colebrook; her son, David Broome and his wife Debbie of Colebrook; two grandchildren, David Broome and Amanda Spreybroeck; a great-grandchild; and a nephew, Robert Mills and his wife Amber of Lebanon. She was preceded in death by her parents and by two sisters, Julia Pollard and Roberta Mills. There are no public calling hours. A private family service will be held in the spring of 2015.

Frizzell, 94, of West Stewartstown, died on Monday morning, November 17, 2014 at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook, with his loving family at his side. He was born in Colebrook on October 28, 1920, and was the middle son of the late Homer P. and Ethel M. (Jordan) Frizzell. Gordon was a 1939 graduate of Canaan Memorial High School. He was married to Joyce E. Jackson on Christmas Day in 1947. Gordon was employed for almost 40 years as a machinist at the Beecher Falls Division of Ethan Allen. He was a dedicated and faithful member of the Beecher Falls Volunteer Fire Department for more than 50 years. Following his retirement in the late 1990s, Gordon also enjoyed driving a school bus for the Nugent Motor Company, which is something he had done in his younger years for his older brother. He was an avid Red Sox fan, enjoyed fishing with his children when they were young, and enjoyed playing softball. As a young man, he was instrumental in saving the life of a woman whose car had fallen into the Connecticut River. Gordon will be fondly remembered by his many friends, family, and brother firefighters as a gentle soul and a kind gentleman. Gordon survived from polio in 1953 and he was a man of integrity, as shown by his almost 67 years of marriage, his unconditional love for his family and service to the community. He leaves behind his wife of more than 66 years, Joyce Frizzell of West Stewartstown; two sons, Gordon R. Frizzell and his wife Pauline of South Carolina; Norman P. Frizzell and his wife Ann of Gorham, Maine; four daughters, Cheryl Ann Reno and her husband Wayne of Williston, Vt., Barbara S. Friz-Ellison of Boston, Patsy J. Newhart and her husband Ronald of Essex Junction, Vt., and Janis E. Goshorn and her husband Steven of Taylor, S.C.; 25 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Kenneth and Robert Frizzell. Calling hours were held on Wednesday evening, November 19 at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A funeral service was held on Thursday morning at the Community Baptist Church in Colebrook, with Pastor Justin Weberg officiating. Interment followed at the Colebrook Village Cemetery. Expressions of sympathy in Mr. Frizzell’s memory may be made to the Beecher Falls Volunteer Fire Dept., PO Box 326, Beecher Falls, VT 05902.

Lewis, 86, of Colebrook, died very unexpectedly on Sunday morning, November 16, 2014 at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital, surrounded by her loving family after being recently stricken at her home. She was born in Colebrook on October 21, 1928, and was a daughter of the late Treffle and Florence (Bourassa) Hebert. She attended a private Catholic school in Island Pond as a girl, and was later married to the love of her life, Darwin Lewis, on November 27, 1948. Together they raised five children. Muriel was well known and loved by many. She often remarked on how blessed she was to have so many caring friends. She was a very independent woman of great faith with a large capacity for love and a wonderful sense of humor. She welcomed all who came to her door, whether two- or four-legged. Holidays were always special with Muriel, and she enjoyed sending little gifts and cards. Rarely did she miss someone’s birthday or anniversary. She loved fixing her flowers, working in her yard, knitting baby blankets and baking goodies to give away. She was always there for her family, listening to them, giving encouragement and a dose of reality if needed. She did not do great things, but was consistent in doing the pure and simple things. Muriel loved her family unconditionally and made everyone feel important and special. She will be greatly missed by her family and always remembered as a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She is survived by her five children, Diana Kenison and her husband Terry of Jefferson, Greg Lewis and his wife Linda of Colebrook, Julie Lewis and partner Freddy Bessette of Colebrook, Nathan Lewis and his wife Lori and Carl Lewis and his wife Carole, all of Chichester; two sisters, Isabelle Brunault of Colebrook and Rachel Rancourt of Stewartstown; nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and her loyal feline companion, Jewel. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 44 years, Darwin “Buddy” Lewis in 1992; a brother, Daniel G. Hebert Sr.; and a grandson, Brody Kenison. Calling hours were held Thursday evening, November 20 at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Friday morning at St. Brendan’s Catholic Church in Colebrook, with The Rev. Craig Cheney as celebrant. Interment followed at the Colebrook Village Cemetery. Expressions of sympathy in Mrs. Lewis’ memory may be made to the Mila Rizzo Foundation for the Protection of Animals, 62 Martin Meadow Pond Road, Lancaster, NH 03584; to Second Chance Animal Rescue, 1517 Meadow St., Littleton, NH 03561; or to Boys’ Town, 300 Flanagan Blvd., PO Box 7000, Boys Town, NE 68010-9907.

Charlie was a 1969 graduate of White Mountains Regional High School and attended the Whittemore School of Applied Science at the University of New Hampshire.

Page Four THE NORTH WOODS WEEKLY Friday, November 21, 2014 Past, Present, and Midge By Midge Rosebrook Horseshoes In The Dark “That sounds like a ringer to me Eddie,” George Kenison says drily. My Dad, Ed Sr., winced a little and replied, “That ain’t no ringer anymore’n nothin’, Kenison!” Then Dad would toss his two shoes, and after hearing a loud clink of steel on steel chided, “There, by George, I just covered you!” “Oh bull, Rosebrook, that shoe hit the stake and is still rollin’ up Route 135!” This back-and-forth banter had been going on for hours, as these two close friends played their favorite game of horseshoes well after dark. With a beer in one hand and a well-used horseshoe in the other, making strikes over a stake 40 feet away in pitch blackness, might seem tough for some. But for George and Dad, who played each and every night all summer, barring a hard rain, it was as easy as reaching for a midnight light switch in the bathroom. I’d be playing tag, hide-and-seek or something with the Kenison boys, Chuck (George Jr.) and his younger brother Steve, stopping only to watch the men occasionally and retrieve a runaway horseshoe for them. Meanwhile, the women and girls would be in our newly built 1961 house, visiting, waiting patiently for their husbands and fathers to finish, which mainly depended on how much beer was left. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know George and Dot Kenison. George was a longtime family friend of the Cantins. He hung out with Philip, William and Harland when they were teenagers, before World War II and later as adults. When Dad married the beautiful Madeline Cantin, my mother, is most likely when he started chumming with George. Back in the early 1950s, when we were renting John Nadeau’s brick house in the hollow on Route 135, George and Dad took an old refrigerator door and rigged it with a frame to be attached to the front of Dad’s 1934 Chevy pickup to use as a snowplow. George would stand up in the body and lean over the cab while holding onto a long rope tied to the plow blade. After Dad reached the snowbank at the end of the long driveway, George would haul back on the rope, pulling up the blade. The refrigerator door proved to be too light in heavy snow, however, forcing the two inventors to go back to the drawing board for a better solution. I’m not sure which one of them found the old galvanized hot water tank, but I can remember being at the Kenisons’ house over in South Lunenburg, where George was cutting it in half with a torch. How that metal snapped and popped, as he blasted through it with his cutting torch, making a pretty blue flame. No one would dare do this today, because of the toxic fumes emitted from the galvanizing. Now cut in half, that hot water tank did the trick. It was indeed heavier, and stayed on the ground even in the heaviest of snow, but now it was much too heavy for anyone to lift—even a man as strong as George Kenison. So Dad simply pushed the snow forward, then he’d back up in the same path with the blade dragging, set over, and plow forward again. “It sure beats doin’ it by hand,” he used to say. When I started working at the Gulf station, George Kenison was a regular customer and a longtime good friend of Dick Monahan. There again, as any small town would have it, Dick was a cousin to the Cantin boys, as his mother Dora (Hardy) Monahan and Elisabeth (Hardy) Cantin were sisters. Way before I was even thought of, these two guys had been friends for years. George and Dot’s kids all bought gas from Dick, especially Chuck and Steve before they moved to Alaska. I lost touch with George, Dot and the kids, seeing them only hit-or-miss over the years. That Gulf station’s closing had caused so many of the folks who frequented it on a daily basis to lose touch with each other. It was a gathering place like no other. The last time I saw George and Dot was at Country Village when visiting my Uncle Harley, who was there mending a broken hip. The enduring love, respect and patience that George demonstrated toward his wife of 66 years, who has been suffering from Alzheimer’s, will stay with me forever. Dot’s face glowed as he quietly spoke to her, telling her who I was. She still had that wonderful sparkle in her eyes. George himself suffered the loss of a leg from complications of knee surgery, but it didn’t dim his enthusiasm for life, or take away his humor. George Kenison, is how a real man acts—what a real man is! After visiting with Uncle Harley, I was on my way out when he yelled, in his deep booming voice, “Midge, why don’t you do a story about this place!” I’m thinking I’ll be there soon enough myself. My condolences to the families of George and Dorothy Kenison for their loss. What a great pleasure it was for me to have known them. I’m guessing my Dad and George may shoot a game or two of horseshoes from time to time—only now, in a place where there’s always plenty of light.

TOWN HALL, ISLAND POND, VT 47 ANNIE SMITH Annie E. (Keazer) Smith, 93, of The Southgate Community in Shrewsbury, Mass., died on Saturday, November 15, 2014. Born in Colebrook on June 22, 1921, she was a daughter of the late James C. & Eva (Cook) Keazer. Annie lived and worked through high school on the 600-acre family farm, and moved to Uniondale, Long Island, N.Y., with her first husband, Charles E. Page, who died in January of 1982. Annie worked at her husband’s insurance agency, helping him grow the new and successful company. While in Long Island they met their close friends, Tom & Margaret Invent Yourself. We offer a variety of ways to invent yourself at White Mountains Community College: (Warner) Smith, with whom they spent a lot of time, traveling to conventions, and playing bridge and golf. As fate would have it, Annie’s first husband and Tom’s wife passed away within a few months of one another, bringing Tom and Annie together. They were married in November, 1982 and spent the next 32 years together. Annie and Tom spent winters in their home in Mt. Dora, Fla., and summers on a home they built on the family farm in Colebrook, moving to Shrewsbury in June of 2008. Annie was an avid golfer and was a member and Club Champion at The Balsams in Dixville Notch. In her earlier years, Annie had a love of painting which she later shared with Tom. In addition to her first husband, Charles E. Page, she was predeceased by her siblings, David, Louisa, Bill, Brandon and Carolyn Keazer. She is survived by her husband, Thomas P. Smith; her children, Charles Page of Northfield, N.H., Barbara Hermance of Ancram, N.Y., stepsons Thomas Smith Jr. and his wife Carol of Hellertown, Pa., and Jeffrey Smith and his wife Joanne of Jamaica, N.Y.; her grandchildren, Traci Ozier, Kearsi Kessler, Lindsey Sadowsky and Alex Page; step-grandchildren Amanda Froling and Jennifer Gayron; 11 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Annie’s life at a memorial service, to be held at a later date in The Chapel at Southgate in Shrewsbury.

Smith, 97, of Dalton, died peacefully on the morning of November 15, 2014 at Country Village Center in Lancaster. Vera was born on March 28, 1917 in St. Louis, Mo., to Charles A. Flynn and Lillian Rice Flynn. The family moved to New York City, where she attended public schools. She was a graduate of Teachers College at Columbia University, and had a long career in teaching, retiring from the City of New York system. Vera was married to Edgar C. Smith of Dalton on September 29, 1945 and together they enjoyed travel, by station wagon in the early years, then by private plane and later by RV. They loved the outdoors. Edgar predeceased her on July 27, 1990. (Continued on Page 9) Friday, November 21, 2014 Obituaries (Continued From Page 8) Vera was, by all definitions, a lady. With a ready smile, she was gracious, vibrant, and always found a positive in everything. She enjoyed people, was never judgmental, and liked to help where she could. Travel remained a passion, continuing through her last family camping trip at age 91, and armchair travel after that. She felt that she had lived a rich, fulfilling and adventuresome life. She was a member of the Dalton Congregational Church, where her greatgrandfather, Thaddeus Metcalf Jr., was a deacon in July, 1866. Vera belonged to the Dalton Historical Society, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and the Connecticut River Watershed Council. She was an active volunteer at the Gilman Senior Center for many years, and a devoted supporter of the Weathervane Theater. She supported the JROTC at the White Mountains Regional High School and had provided scholarships to worthy members of the nursing program at the White Mountains Community College in Berlin. Vera served as supervisor of the Dalton checklist for many years. Surviving are her daughter, Nancy L. and her husband Wayne A. Smith, grandson Bryant W. Smith, and his daughters Macee and Piper, all of Dalton. Vera was predeceased by an older sister, Kathleen B. Lynch. Memorial service arrangements and care have been entrusted to the Bailey Funeral Home in Lancaster. Viewing hours were held on Tuesday evening. A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 22 at the Dalton Congregational Church. Rev. Diane Raymond, pastor, will officiate.

The North Woods Weekly 6 Bridge St., Colebrook 603-237-5501 www.northwoodsweekly.com Friday, November 21, 2014 THE NORTH WOODS WEEKLY Page Fifteen Country Fixin’s (Continued From Page 3) Faulkner was familiar with the area after years of vacationing up here, and his wife is from New Hampshire. When he found the restaurant for sale on-line he was excited by the opportunity. While there was some water damage caused by freezing pipes, the building was in good shape, Bill said. The kitchen was intact and didn’t take too much work to reopen. Mr. Dicus, who will be handling many of the day-to-day operations of the restaurant, said he wanted to open the restaurant, “because it’s what I’m good at,” and he will offer “homestyle, comfort food.” Mr. Faulkner and his family are currently living with a friend across the river in Vermont, but are looking for a place in New Hampshire close to their business. He said so far the restaurant has been well received by the community. “Come on in,” Dicus said. Besides sit-down meals, Country Fixin’s also offers takeout, and may be reached at 603-636-1974. The restaurant is open from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday (closed Monday), and from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

(Courtesy photo) Lancaster FCCLA Students Travel to Participate in Fall Rally in Manchester Fifteen members of the Lancaster Lancers Family, Career and Community Leaders of America attended a Fall Rally at Camp Carpenter in Manchester on October 17. Along with advisor Mrs. Beaton and chaperone Mrs. Hinten the group traveled to kick off the school year. The theme for the school year is “Lights, Camera, Take Action with FCCLA.” The students participated in many leadership activities and competitions, such as “The North Wind Blows,” where they got to meet new people and learn each other’s interests. One of the competitions involved creating a poster to teach others about the organization using the theme. The Lancaster seventhgraders earned a second-place ribbon, as did the eighth-graders, and the group earned a first-place blue ribbon for their nametag design. “It was fun participating in a non-verbal communication activity!” said member Kaidi. FCCLA is one of the largest vocational student organizations in the U.S. It encourages personal growth and leadership development and prepares teens for the future.

New fiction for November includes Top Secret by W. E. B. Griffin, and Gray Mountain by John Grisham. We also have the latest Dairy of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul. The library is starting to purchase the “Wheel of Time” books by Robert Jordon; the first two books are in, and a few other later volumes have been donated. Also, in the past year the library has slowly been increasing its fantasy and science fiction collection by purchase or donation. A number of series in this genre are available from authors like David Eddings, James Dashner, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, which can be a great escape on long winter days. Donations of good fantasy and sci fi reads are most welcome, and the librarian may be inspired to quote lines from the “Star Wars: A New Hope” script or engage in some Star Trek jokes. Local patrons have donated 23 new movies that are worth stopping to check out. New DVDs purchased this month include “Noah”, “The Fault in Our Stars”, “Godzilla” and “Maleficent.” Patrons may bring in a laptop, tablet or other device and get connected to the library’s free wireless Internet, and gain access to eBooks. Twin Mountain’s is also one of the few pet-friendly libraries in the state, and well-behaved dogs may even get a treat during their visit. The library is housed in the Carroll Town Hall and is open from 4 to 8 p.m. Mondays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays, 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays. Patrons can also renew checked items by calling 846-5818 and leaving a message, or by e-mail to twinmountainpl@roadrunner.com.
