SUSAN JANE NORCROSS wife of Henry Fiske Blanchard PROFILE

Susan Jane Norcross

Birth 1844 in Augusta, Maine

Death 1928 in Jefferson, Lincoln, Maine

There are other pictures od Susan Jane but I don't have any.

I couldn't find information on Susan Jane until I found the 1930 Census for Harry & Harriet that had Frank Record, cousin living with them.  I traced the Records and found his grandmother Jane Farnum and was able to put information together.

GRIFFINS and HEARNS and RICES

Aunts, Uncles, Cousins that are IMPORTANT parts of the family. 
This post  is an INTRODUCTION to the GRIFFIN and HEARN and RICE portions of our family history. 

The Rice & Griffin farm was just down the Irish lane from the Cullen farm
in Rutland, Massachusettes, and both had been there for hundreds
of years.

The trees below show when these families were joined.

Further information later

I remember a couple of family reunions at the Rice & Griffin farm and many a tea time.

I don't have any pictures of the people or place but maybe some will surface at some time.

Raymond Kimball and family although not biologically part of the family---He was one of the foster chilodren of  Carl Raymond and he and his family  remained close.

One other non-biological person that stands out: Mary Muldoon.  I can picture her but don't know that much about her.

Addition from Judy Spencer - March 2013

You had mentioned Mary Muldoon in the blog somewhere (I've only read bits and pieces). She was connected to the family for many years, as was her sister, Peggy Hanlon, but I don't think there was a blood connection. Maybe they were distant cousins to the Cullens, as they were Irish, but I don't believe so. Mary Muldoon lived down the road from the Rice farm, on the road to Demond Pond, and was single and a career woman, something unusual for that time period. She lived to be quite old, in her nineties I think. I'll try to fill in information as I come across it in my reading.

Cause of Death Tubercular Duodenum Ulcer

Kicked in head by horse.  (Traumatic Brain Injury) TBI brings multiple disorders, from the primary injury to secondary injury. The body received the disturbances in the brain, in the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis, in the gastric mucosa, in the immune and neuroendocrine systems.
