Just To Clarify
Edith Piper is the young woman in the photo that is seated on the far left. I know this because she was my grandmother. Her father was not Dr. Piper. I don't think she was any relation to that family of Pipers.
Her claim to fame was the fact that her grandfather was Joshua Piper, who blazed the trail up Mt Chocorua in the 1860's. Her parents ran a tourist hotel called the Piper House that was directly across the road from the Piper trail on what is now Rt 16 in Albany NH.
I have some brochures of the old hotel that I will post if anyone is interested.
