Kingdom was an owner of Beaver who had his ashes sealed in the ledge rock at the rear of the main house. The grave is my sister's who died in infancy in June of 48' while my father, who was care taker for Alexander Shepard, and mom lived in one of the camps on the island. I used to have nightmares about the ominously unusual stone fireplace in the main house. Guess it was scary to a little kid. The fireplace was built in the early 1900's by a Mr. Sibley from Moultonborough. He built the watering trough at the spring on Sibley road using the same kind of gnome stones.
