I think it is my house 63 Jordan Mill Road,Mattawamkeag, ME

I THINK THIS WAS THE LLOYD MAGOON HOUSE ON ORIGINAL ROUTE 157

The old Magoon house on rt 157

Way back this house belonged to Harry and Grace (Bartlett) Gordon. They raise 16 or 17 children here.

Yes, Harry and Mary Gordon lived here, unfortunately they died here to. I have a newspaper clip of the incident. Harry shot Mary, then shot himself. People had to find homes for all of those kids. The poor babies.

That is right but she was Grace not Mary. I found out the information when I was doing genealogy on the Bartlett side. Grace was my great Aunt. I have always wondered if there were other family members still around as I have seen fresh flowers on their graves in Mattawamkeag.
