For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917. According to the Library Trustee Meeting Minutes Volume, Dec. 1883 – Oct. 1939, page 62, meeting of September 24, 1907, the Henry Clay Barnabee Collection was offered to Portsmouth Public Library in September of 1907 by Barnabee himself. The Library Trustees accepted the gift and were to confer with Barnabee about his wishes for the collection. An article in the States and Union newspaper, September 9, 1909, leads one to wonder when the collection actually physically arrived at the Library. Plans were being made at that time to house the collection in a special room described in great detail in the article. Barnabee was working on an exhibition to be mounted in the Library in 1909. It is unclear from available materials if that exhibition ever materialized or if the collection was even on site at that time. The original collection was assembled between 1866 and 1906 by Henry Clay Barnabee and his wife, Clara George Barnabee. Some of the collection was reportedly transferred to the Lamb Club in New York City according to Hannah Fernald in 1943, as quoted in the Portsmouth Herald April 23, 1943. The current collection consists of approximately 10 linear feet of materials, including scrapbooks, photograph albums, loose photographs, musical scores, and books, as well as a small number of other loose items such as a large daguerreotype of a child (probably Barnabee) and two framed watercolors of Barnabee in costume. Most of the material dates from 1866-1906. There are a few items before and after that range, most notably the program from a testimonial held in Barnabee’s honor in Boston during March of 1907. It is arranged in eight series, outlined in a series-level finding aid. The collection was arranged by Woodard D. Openo, an Archives student in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the time, in the fall of 1995. Library staff and Simmons College interns have been working on a detailed finding aid since spring of 2010. During the spring of 2014, the New England Archivists Community Outreach Project spent time indexing and scanning parts of the Barnabee collection. In 2018, funds from the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation were procured for the specific use of cleaning and rehousing items from Box Series II B. 1-9 and Box VII Libretto Series.

Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917. According to the Library Trustee Meeting Minutes Volume, Dec. 1883 – Oct. 1939, page 62, meeting of September 24, 1907, the Henry Clay Barnabee Collection was offered to Portsmouth Public Library in September of 1907 by Barnabee himself. The Library Trustees accepted the gift and were to confer with Barnabee about his wishes for the collection. An article in the States and Union newspaper, September 9, 1909, leads one to wonder when the collection actually physically arrived at the Library. Plans were being made at that time to house the collection in a special room described in great detail in the article. Barnabee was working on an exhibition to be mounted in the Library in 1909. It is unclear from available materials if that exhibition ever materialized or if the collection was even on site at that time. The original collection was assembled between 1866 and 1906 by Henry Clay Barnabee and his wife, Clara George Barnabee. Some of the collection was reportedly transferred to the Lamb Club in New York City according to Hannah Fernald in 1943, as quoted in the Portsmouth Herald April 23, 1943. The current collection consists of approximately 10 linear feet of materials, including scrapbooks, photograph albums, loose photographs, musical scores, and books, as well as a small number of other loose items such as a large daguerreotype of a child (probably Barnabee) and two framed watercolors of Barnabee in costume. Most of the material dates from 1866-1906. There are a few items before and after that range, most notably the program from a testimonial held in Barnabee’s honor in Boston during March of 1907. It is arranged in eight series, outlined in a series-level finding aid. The collection was arranged by Woodard D. Openo, an Archives student in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the time, in the fall of 1995. Library staff and Simmons College interns have been working on a detailed finding aid since spring of 2010. During the spring of 2014, the New England Archivists Community Outreach Project spent time indexing and scanning parts of the Barnabee collection. In 2018, funds from the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation were procured for the specific use of cleaning and rehousing items from Box Series II B. 1-9 and Box VII Libretto Series.

Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917. According to the Library Trustee Meeting Minutes Volume, Dec. 1883 – Oct. 1939, page 62, meeting of September 24, 1907, the Henry Clay Barnabee Collection was offered to Portsmouth Public Library in September of 1907 by Barnabee himself. The Library Trustees accepted the gift and were to confer with Barnabee about his wishes for the collection. An article in the States and Union newspaper, September 9, 1909, leads one to wonder when the collection actually physically arrived at the Library. Plans were being made at that time to house the collection in a special room described in great detail in the article. Barnabee was working on an exhibition to be mounted in the Library in 1909. It is unclear from available materials if that exhibition ever materialized or if the collection was even on site at that time. The original collection was assembled between 1866 and 1906 by Henry Clay Barnabee and his wife, Clara George Barnabee. Some of the collection was reportedly transferred to the Lamb Club in New York City according to Hannah Fernald in 1943, as quoted in the Portsmouth Herald April 23, 1943. The current collection consists of approximately 10 linear feet of materials, including scrapbooks, photograph albums, loose photographs, musical scores, and books, as well as a small number of other loose items such as a large daguerreotype of a child (probably Barnabee) and two framed watercolors of Barnabee in costume. Most of the material dates from 1866-1906. There are a few items before and after that range, most notably the program from a testimonial held in Barnabee’s honor in Boston during March of 1907. It is arranged in eight series, outlined in a series-level finding aid. The collection was arranged by Woodard D. Openo, an Archives student in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the time, in the fall of 1995. Library staff and Simmons College interns have been working on a detailed finding aid since spring of 2010. During the spring of 2014, the New England Archivists Community Outreach Project spent time indexing and scanning parts of the Barnabee collection. In 2018, funds from the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation were procured for the specific use of cleaning and rehousing items from Box Series II B. 1-9 and Box VII Libretto Series.

H. Compiled b \l LOUISE H. TALLMAN PORTSMOUTH 19 83 'C::// �FAMILY GRAVEYARDS OF PORTSMOurH, N ,H, INTRODUCTION Search for an adequate listing and mapping of Portsmouth graveyard sites led to this stuiy, Progress has been made state-wide in locating the thousands of small sites, a project of the New Hampshire Old Graveyard Association. Some earlier notes had been made. Mrs. Wendell B. Folsom made notes in 1938 of markers that are illegible today. About 1940, Agnes P, Bartlett made meticulous notes of a few sites. Arthur H. Locke had useful notes in his abstract of 1907, John Frost had listing of several family graveyards in his work of the 1950's, None of these references had any mention of gravestone material, condition, or design. These are points of interest to persons stuiying gravestone art. For information and guiding, I am indebted to many persons. I would like to mention especially Dorothy Vaughan p Molly Vinton, Karl Gr1.mert, and neighbors of the Maple Haven neighborhood. Strawbery Banke Archeology Department assisted with charting the complex Hall Graveyard. There have been major changes such as housing developments and road re-location, so that some of the old location descriptions had to be adjusted to new situations. Portsmouth has both urban and rural patterns. Early comrn1.mity burial grounds were Point of Graves, North Burial Ground, and South Burial Ground (now called Pleasant St. Cemetery). There is an early churchyard at St. John ° s. More recent church-related cemeteries are St. Mary's and Temple Israel Cemetery. The principal active cemeteries are the South Street comple x and Calvary Cemetery. • I This text that I have compiled deals with the rural patterns which are illustrated by family graveyards, These were always established on private land, and are likely to incluie closely related persons. Even the Hall Graveyard, now within urban surroundings, was once at the rural edge of the city. For genealogical reference of comrntm.ity cemeteries, check the John Frost abstract which can be examined at Portsmouth Library. For the Temple Israel Cemetery, check the site itself or the church, as this was not noted by Frost. Restoration would be desirable at several sites in the Portsmouth area. Historical information is being lost through breakage and decay. Continued family care is very rare. Seldom has any trust f1.mding been provided. It is the original gravestone that is the primary record source, Neighbors of the small graveyards would need to be interested and involved in the restoration process. There is much that can be done by amateurs, especially in control of rampant vegetation. Mending of broken markers, however, is a skilled craft. The wrong product or careless work could cause more damage than leaving the pieces undisturbed. I have noted site conditions for each of the Portsmouth family graveyards. In viewing any family graveyard p your respect is requested. Easiest access for viewing are the following examples; 1. Fieldstone Graveyard, Lafayette Road at Christ Church, Episcopal. 2. Htm.tress-Sha.nnon Graveyard, Echo Avenue, off Woodbury. 3. Langdon Graveyard, Urban Forestry Center, Elwyn Road. 4.

Tallman, Jlllle 1983, -6- �FIELDSTONE GRAVEYARD Lafayette Road near Christ Church, Episcopal This is a walled. plot directly to the rear of the Parsonage. It had been a part of the Langdon farm. According to a long tradition, these are believed to be the graves of slaves kept by the Langdon family. The plot is narrow, and rows of markers are short. It measures forty-four feet in length, and fourteen feet in width. It is difficult ·to count the number of graves. Field.stones were originally placed in pairs. Of these some have lost either headstone or footstone. Orientation is west to east as typical for family graveyards. With easy parking near the Church, this plot is a good site to observe a representative fieldstone graveyard. It can also be reached by hiking through from the Urban Forestry Center on Elwyn Road. -7- �FIELDSTONE GRAVEYARD Rear of 425 Ocean Road, Portsmouth r1 This site was reported. by Carl Widen 9 who used to live at this farmhouse, Present owner is Albert Desjardins. Widen described an old lane to the rear of the barn. Gravestones would be found in a grove of beech trees. I was directed. by Mr. Desjardins to go down across the field beside the wire fence to the horse paddock, The wire took a right-angle through the beech grove, The fieldstone markers were both sides of this fencing. It was difficult to estimate the number of pairs, Would say there were at least six graves indicated.. Over the wall was the old lane, Desjardins is of the impression that these are pauper graves, This could be the case, However the fieldstone markers were common in rural usage, An average d�te would be around 1750. One dated example in Rye was as late as 1833. Name on this farmhouse in 1892 wass W, W, Webster, PEVERLY GRAVEYARD Peverly Hill Road, Portsmouth Index and mapping had already been done when told of this site by Carl Widen of Ocean Road, He stated that it was somewhere to the rear of Yoken's Restaurant 9 and opposite Iafolla. I checked with Ferris Bavicchi of Iafolla Industries. He said yes 9 there was a graveyard on the property of Marion Coleman, I talked with Miss Coleman by telephone, She confirmed. the existance of a graveyard on her property. She gave the information that the family involved. would be Peverly, She stated that there was no surface indication of grave markers. She seemed somewhat annoyed by my inquery, so I did not insist on viewing the site. My purpose in mentioning this graveyard is preserving some small reference for record, Otherwise in 50 years, it will be forgotten, and subject to random disturbance. r ,- 7 - t r� ...--..

Information from Nancy Dodge enabled finding this site. Viewing the area in October 1982, I felt rather overwhelmed., The live occupants were active woodch__ucks with their holes and dirt piles, Some of the markers appeared. to have been beaten by a baseball bat, the slate pieces scattered. around, Rows of markers disappeared. under giant bushes of multiflora rose. Just to get the record p I wouJd need help. I asked the Archaeology Department of Strawbery Banke for help with charting. May 18, 1983, A team of 5 of us spent a morning getting a basic chart of the Hall Graveyard.. The group included. Faith Harrington, Archaeologist; Strawbery Banke volunteers Ruth Maloy and Edna Goodwin; David Goodman, historian, and myself as coordinator. We established. a base line the length if the graveyard. Stakes were placed to indicate each row, and the rows were lettered. from A to K. Total measurement was 111 feet in length, and 43 feet in width. Notes were taken of distance left or right of baseline, and the record noted with just name and year of marker, The detailed. readings wouJd come later. A start was made on readings of some markers in exposed locations. August 17, 1983, Jean Sawtelle joined in a morning of note-taking. We had prepared. with long-handled cutters, in case we needed to battle the giant rose bushes to get the marker records. Brambles were indeed attacked. unti� there was a pile big enough to fill a truck. We made good progress on readings and condition notes of the more than 4o gravestones. August 19, 1983, Joe and Jean Sawtelle brought in a work crew, truck and mowers. Two truck loads material were removed. All unwanted. vegetation was cut clean to the walls. Markers on the ground were lifted to avoid mower damage. Two new markers were located, one for Barnabas Hall, the other Catherine Marshall. This clearing now enables a clear study of the many marker problems. Plans can now be made for restoration. Neighbors have expressed. an interest in restoring the Hall Graveyard., and helping to keep it up as improvements are made. We talked first with Mr, & Mrs. Roger Tucker of Brackett Road, over the wall, Jean met the eJderly Johnson brothers of 280 South Street, Herbert and Winston. Former graveyard care had been provided. by Winston for many years, and he had taken a few general pictures heEe• He toJd of the site being used as a hang-out for drifters, and for rowdy youths. There was once a squatters shack in one corner. Vandalism would probably date from this period, some years back. There had been repairs attempted.. However each old cementing has let go, whatever may have been used. Piecing together the marker record for the Hall site would have been almost impossible_without the notes of Arthur H, Locke p with his abstract of 1907. Following the code letter of "H" for Hall, I could prepare cards for reference of markers that shouJd be there, Some are now illegible, and some pieces may be lost. Locke helps fill the gaps. -9- �.1'1A.1.t.1., u.l:U\ VJ!i 11\JiUJ , J;'O:L"l,::llflO Ul,Il List of Gravestones Rows listed from wes� to east p numbers from left to right, A-1, Nathaniel Jones, d, 1825 & Thomas Jones, d, 1811 A-2.

The site is obscured from view by arborvitae on two sides. A light fencing surrounds the plot in addition. It is completely intact as far as total markers as reported 1938, Full restoration could be done, Its problem is that all except two have been tipped on their back, with the pins broken, Parts could be re-joined by either cement or epoxy, Principal row, reading left to right, All are marble, 3-layer with arch tops, Only the marker for Charles remains upright, 1983, LOUISE H, MARSTON--Oct, 21, 1867,--Dec, 1, 1934 IDA CHEEVER RAND--DIED--Jan, 31, 193O,--Age 78 yrs, ERNEST HOWARD RAND--DIED--Feb, 13, 1923,--Age 76 yrs, CAROLlliE A.--Widow of--Alphonso Marston--DIED--Mar, 9, 1921,--Age 81 yrs, JOHN G.

She furnished her notes with a sketch of location and markers. It finally took guiding by neighbor Mr. Short to locate this obscure site. The driveway in from Elwyn Road goes in between an 01<?- white house and a yellow house with brown shutters. It goes about a half mile toward Sagamore Creek. Within sight of the Short house, the road divides. The graveyard is off the less used older road.way to the right. It lies more than a hundred feet in a grove of tall pines. One dead pine has fallen into the group of markers, causing some of the breakage. Row farther from the wall: 1. Slotted base - some probing was done by Mrs. Vinton, but no marker found. As a guess, this might have been for James Moses who died 1863. 2. Marble, flat top, good condition, but slight tilt to the rear: OUR MOTHER MARY MOSES, wife of JAMES MOSES, died June 6, 1857, Aged 77 years • "Because I live ye shall live also, yea though I walk through the valley of the shad.ow of death, I will fear no evil."

Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917. According to the Library Trustee Meeting Minutes Volume, Dec. 1883 – Oct. 1939, page 62, meeting of September 24, 1907, the Henry Clay Barnabee Collection was offered to Portsmouth Public Library in September of 1907 by Barnabee himself. The Library Trustees accepted the gift and were to confer with Barnabee about his wishes for the collection. An article in the States and Union newspaper, September 9, 1909, leads one to wonder when the collection actually physically arrived at the Library. Plans were being made at that time to house the collection in a special room described in great detail in the article. Barnabee was working on an exhibition to be mounted in the Library in 1909. It is unclear from available materials if that exhibition ever materialized or if the collection was even on site at that time. The original collection was assembled between 1866 and 1906 by Henry Clay Barnabee and his wife, Clara George Barnabee. Some of the collection was reportedly transferred to the Lamb Club in New York City according to Hannah Fernald in 1943, as quoted in the Portsmouth Herald April 23, 1943. The current collection consists of approximately 10 linear feet of materials, including scrapbooks, photograph albums, loose photographs, musical scores, and books, as well as a small number of other loose items such as a large daguerreotype of a child (probably Barnabee) and two framed watercolors of Barnabee in costume. Most of the material dates from 1866-1906. There are a few items before and after that range, most notably the program from a testimonial held in Barnabee’s honor in Boston during March of 1907. It is arranged in eight series, outlined in a series-level finding aid. The collection was arranged by Woodard D. Openo, an Archives student in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the time, in the fall of 1995. Library staff and Simmons College interns have been working on a detailed finding aid since spring of 2010. During the spring of 2014, the New England Archivists Community Outreach Project spent time indexing and scanning parts of the Barnabee collection. In 2018, funds from the Rosamond Thaxter Foundation were procured for the specific use of cleaning and rehousing items from Box Series II B. 1-9 and Box VII Libretto Series.

Title A name given to the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Collection Subject The topic of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee Description An account of the resource Henry Clay Barnabee was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1833, the son of a stage-driver turned innkeeper in Portsmouth. At the age of twenty, Barnabee moved to Boston, where he worked in the dry goods business while also pursuing acting and amateur singing. In 1859, he married Clara George of Portsmouth in Warner, New Hampshire, where her family originated. They made their home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. In 1865, Barnabee made his formal performance debut and began touring New England with a concert troupe. In 1878, he joined the Boston Ideals, a group formed to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, H.M.S Pinafore, though the Ideals would go on to perform other operettas. Barnabee and two other actors from the Boston Ideals formed the Bostonians in 1887. The latter group toured widely, making a number of transcontinental trips, until it finally disbanded in 1904. Its mainstay production was Smith and DeKoven’s comic opera, Robin Hood, in which Barnabee played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Clara George Barnabee died in 1906, the year in which Barnabee’s career essentially ended. Henry Clay Barnabee published his autobiography, My Wanderings, in 1913 and died in 1917.

Description An account of the resource This collection of 400+ postcards, depicting buildings and scenes of Portsmouth and the Seacoast area, was donated to the Portsmouth Public Library by the family of Louis J. Mackles in May of 2015. It was given specifically by Ross A. Moldoff, Gloria F. Moldoff and Harold Moldoff, who felt the collection should be made available for study and enjoyment. The rehousing of the physical collection into archival albums was made possible by the Moldoffs as well. Mr. Mackles collected postcards throughout his life. This collection, only a small portion of a much larger number, left behind for family and friends to enjoy, is an interesting historic journey through the Seacoast. Some buildings depicted are long gone while multiple postcards of the same building show the progression of time. Postcards (aka "post cards") became popular at the turn of the 20th Century, after being introduced to the U.S. during the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Used primarily for sending short messages to friends and relatives, people collected them immediately as mementos of a trip or journey, historical events, holidays, etc. They were sold to tourists and often advertised local businesses. Individuals created real photograph postcards to send home to relatives when travelling abroad as well. Immigrants to the U.S. often had photos taken when they arrived at their destination to send home to their native countries. DELTIOLOGY is the hobby of collecting postcards according to Merriam-Webster, but more broadly it is considered the collection, study, and preservation of picture postcards for fun, recreation, relaxation, and enjoyment – and for the historical preservation of life in years past [As described by the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors http://www.aape.org/collectingpicturepostcardsver17jul.asp]. The Mackles collection was primarily published in the U.S. and Germany and contains many different types of postcards. The standard photo cards, printed and colored or tinted cards, several fold-out strips which became popular in the 1950’s, as well as miniature postcards. Major Louis J. Mackles, USAR (Born in Brownsville, Texas, October 4, 1923. Died at Pease Air Force Base, September 6, 1987) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpted from obituary in the Portsmouth Herald, September 8, 1987: ‘…Maj. Mackles attended A&M and UNH, receiving a master’s degree with high honors in chemical engineering. He served in the Philippines during World War II, retiring as a major in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. He retired after 30 years as head of the Radiation Control branch of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard working with Adm. Rickover. Maj. Mackles was a consultant for L.P.I. Engineering in Dover until April 1987. He was a member of Temple Israel, NARFE, Wentworth and Pease Golf Club, the National Association of Technical Supervisors and the Registered Maine State Board of Professional Engineers…’ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ His family kindly provided a copy of the eulogy given in his honor, transcribed as follows: Eulogy for Louis Mackles – Label ben Yudel U’Miriam – d. 9/6/87: 12 Elul We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of Louis Mackles, Label ben Yudel u Miriam, and to speak about his life. Lou, as everyone called him, was born October 4, 1923, the second of two sons, to Idel and Mary Mackles, in Brownsville, TX, and grew up in Galveston, TX. As a young man, he attended Texas A & M for two years. In 1942, when the U.S. entered WWII, he enlisted in the Army. After achieving the rank of Corporal, he was sent to Officers Candidates School in New England. In 1944, before being sent overseas, Lou and his fellow Jewish soldiers attended services at Temple Israel of Portsmouth. Then Rabbi Oscar Fleishaker had urged his congregant families to welcome the Jewish soldiers, and so it was that Lou met Charlotte, the girl he was to marry. Lou was commissioned a second Lt. and sent to the Philippines. During an enemy attack, Lou Mackles, despite being wounded himself, saved the life of a wounded comrade, and refused to leave his men. In addition to his wounds, he developed pneumonia from exposure and might have died, had friendly natives not taken him to an Army field hospital – a three-day journey on foot. Army doctors saved his life. Lou was awarded a Bronze Star for bravery under fire. He also gained a lifelong respect and love for the Army, and it was his wish, in the last days of his life, to be treated in a military hospital, this time at Pease Air Force Base. Following the war, Lou served in the Army Reserves, finally retiring with the rank of Major. After his discharge at the war’s end, Lou married Charlotte in Boston on Jan.1, 1946. He then attended the University of NH, attaining his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering, becoming a professional engineer licensed in both NH and Maine. Son Glenn was born during this period. Then followed a 3-year stint in Wash., DC, where Lou worked for the Bureau of Standards. Thereafter, the family settled permanently in Portsmouth, where daughter Linda was born. Lou took a job at the Navy Yard, where he spent approximately 35 years, working his way up to head of the Radiation Division, building nuclear submarines. Lou was part of the team that produced the Albacore, among other submarines, he served under the legendary Adm. Hyman Rickover. During his years at the yard, he was honored by being asked to present a gold plate to the sponsor of a nuclear sub – which Navy Yard personnel regarded as the highest honor attainable. But more importantly, Lou was well-respected and liked greatly by his colleagues at work, many of whom stayed in touch over the years. It is symbolic of how well-liked he was that old service buddies and friends from work would stay in touch. When Lou became ill, friends would often call the family to find out how he was doing. About 10 years ago, Lou retired from the Yard and worked as a consultant for a private engineering firm in Dover. What sort of man was Lou Mackles? Though I myself arrived in Portsmouth only during the last months of his life, I have the testimony of those who knew and loved him. His family and friends can testify that he was a quiet, soft-spoken man who never said an unkind word about anyone else. I can tell you that he loved children, and was happy to serve as Scoutmaster in a boy scout troop when his children were young. But is more of an eloquent tribute to his memory that, when the little boy who lived across the way from the Mackles was told of Lou’s death, he burst into tears. Lou worked hard, often putting in 18-hours days at the Yard, but he was devoted to his family as well. He was proud of his children’s accomplishments, and loved them unquestioningly. He was also especially close to his nieces and nephews, and was godfather to many of them. As for hobbies, Lou was especially good with his hands. He enjoyed gardening, photography, furniture finishing, and working around the house. He himself did much of the work on the home which he and Charlotte built on Moebus Drive. Golf was a great love, as well. But Lou’s sense of involvement went beyond job, family and hobbies. Having been raised in a traditional family, he retained a strong respect for Judaism, leading him to become an active member of Temple Israel. He served on the Religious Committee, volunteered as an usher on the High Holidays, and helped run the bingo program. Even when he became ill, he refused to take his medicine on Yom Kippur, preferring to fast completely. When, 6 years ago, Lou discovered he had cancer, he determined to fight it. Recalling his WWII bout with combat wounds and pneumonia, he said, “I was supposed to be a goner in the Philippines, but God gave me 40 more good years.” He fought with courage and determination that serve as an example to us all. Lou was a quiet man who never complained, who did not wish to be a burden on anyone. But he was a fighter to the end, a self-made man who loved life, who loved people, who made every minute count of the years he was given. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him. Our religion speaks of the resurrection of the righteous dead. It is one of the most fundamental beliefs of our faith, but one of the most difficult to comprehend. I myself believe that our resurrection depends, not only upon the grade of God, but on the memories we leave our friends and loved ones. Anyone who touched as many lives as did Lou Mackles will surely merit resurrection and eternal life. He will be deeply missed. __________________________________________________________________________________________ This collection was digitized by Jessica Ross with volunteer help by Wynn Welch, Spring/Summer 2016.

He enjoyed gardening, photography, furniture finishing, and working around the house. He himself did much of the work on the home which he and Charlotte built on Moebus Drive. Golf was a great love, as well. But Lou’s sense of involvement went beyond job, family and hobbies. Having been raised in a traditional family, he retained a strong respect for Judaism, leading him to become an active member of Temple Israel. He served on the Religious Committee, volunteered as an usher on the High Holidays, and helped run the bingo program. Even when he became ill, he refused to take his medicine on Yom Kippur, preferring to fast completely. When, 6 years ago, Lou discovered he had cancer, he determined to fight it. Recalling his WWII bout with combat wounds and pneumonia, he said, “I was supposed to be a goner in the Philippines, but God gave me 40 more good years.” He fought with courage and determination that serve as an example to us all. Lou was a quiet man who never complained, who did not wish to be a burden on anyone. But he was a fighter to the end, a self-made man who loved life, who loved people, who made every minute count of the years he was given. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him. Our religion speaks of the resurrection of the righteous dead. It is one of the most fundamental beliefs of our faith, but one of the most difficult to comprehend. I myself believe that our resurrection depends, not only upon the grade of God, but on the memories we leave our friends and loved ones. Anyone who touched as many lives as did Lou Mackles will surely merit resurrection and eternal life. He will be deeply missed. __________________________________________________________________________________________ This collection was digitized by Jessica Ross with volunteer help by Wynn Welch, Spring/Summer 2016.
