I have a wonderful travelog written by Mrs. Augustus (Susan?) Holmes. The Holmes's had a place on Jolly Island in 1913 when they climbed Mt. Chocorua with my grandparents (George and Mora Curtiss) and a woman they called Fan. I would love to track down the Holmes family. Does anyone know of them? They had two children, Walter and Emma. Their place on Jolly Island was called Rocksmere Lodge. I'm in the process of scanning the travelog, which was a gift to my grandparents from the Holmes's. I am putting it on a CD. It was quite an adventure, both the climb, stay at the Peak House, and getting there in a car that kept breaking down and getting stuck in ditches, after, of course, travelling from the island by boat.
