Location of Edgerly Farm?

ApS · 10-30-2009, 01:57 PM

Edgerly was Sheriff of Carroll County at one time.

My Grandfather, an MD, rented at the Edgerly Farm as a "base" to scout for a Winnipesaukee lakefront property to buy. (My Grandparents had just sold "Doctor's Island" on Sebago Lake, Maine—which I believe has been renamed).

They bought a two-building spot on the Lake that is...today...the site of the Melvin Marina!

Acres,
Talk of Doctor's Island, that's where my grandparents spent their summers as kids. Do you have any info about that era?

There were/are 3 generations named John Edgerly, two of whom are still living. Father to the senior John Edgerly (now late) was Ned Edgerly. Ned ran the boarding house in the picture's foreground. It's been torn down 25-30 years. The far house which appears attached, is actually a separate building and is home to Steve Berry. It is still there.
The Edgerlys rented mobile home sites with lake access, across the road on the west side of Route 109 in a park they called Edge O' Lake.

In my first post, I should have helped clear up the Mirror Lake confusion regards the Edgerly Farm. The Edgerly property which was, as I mentioned, once also on the west side of Route 109, had frontage on Winnipesaukee at 19-mile bay.
That area of Tuftonboro was and is serviced by the Mirror Lake Post Office. Therefore, the mailing address of the Edgerly Farm was Mirror Lake, New Hampshire. Tuftonboro has 3 post offices within its borders. The Mirror Lake address would show up on old postcards of or from the Edgerly Farm.
None of the Edgerly property was on the shore of Mirror Lake.
