Title A name given to the resource Aug. 8, 1914 A Subject The topic of the resource Surfside Hotel, Gloucester, Mass. Description An account of the resource Notes: “punch”… this may be a reference to a “Detex” clock, used by organizations employing watchmen. The clock kept a (paper) tape record of impressions made by a key which is ‘turned’ in the clock. By examining the tape, a supervisor can verify that the watchman had been at the location of the key at a particular time. See this link for historical information about this surveillance system: http://www.watchclocks.org/ This experience may have been one source of Olney’s lifelong interest in clocks.

Title A name given to the resource Aug. 11, 1913 A Subject The topic of the resource Railroad Station, on Broad St. Pawtucket, R.I. Description An account of the resource Notes: The home on Maddaket Road was at least a mile out of town. Emma seems to be suggesting that Jennie would walk to town and, once the boat arrived, the two of them would hire a ride back to Jennie’s home. Emma did make the trip to visit Jennie and her father, Charles Nelson Cotton. It may very well have been the last time that Emma saw her father. He would die in Nantucket a little over a year later, on November 5, 1914, at 80. A 'Personal' note published in the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror on September 6, 1913, recorded the visit: "Mrs. Franklin N. Blake, of Pawtucket, has been a guest of Jennie Dunham, for two weeks."
