Story
Flora Mason was born on her parents' farm, where, she would later write, she '..did enjoy home especially everything out of doors. Helped my father much, in fact knew how to do and did almost all kinds of outdoor work. Began to harness a horse as soon as I could reach.' In her teens her idyllic existence was marred by a rapid succession of the deaths of loved ones, which she described as the definitive event of her life. Her father died of consumption in May of 1885, and in July her grandmother Belinda Rose died in her arms of an apparent heart attack. Her mother sold the farm in the Fall of '85, and Flora and her brother Willis moved with her into town, where in August, 1886 Willis also died of consumption, probably contracted while caring for his father.
She graduated from Milford High School, Milford, NH, in June, 1887, and taught for two years in Milford schools before preparing for college, boarding at Cushing Academy, Ashburnham, Massachusetts, over twenty miles away. After graduation from Cushing Academy, she taught another year before matriculating at Bates College in August, 1892, from which she graduated in the class of 1896, receiving first honors in literature. She then enrolled in the Emerson School of Oratory in Boston. She taught for three years and was principal at the Normal School in Springfield, Maine. Her health was in a questionable state, suspected of being the consumption which afflicted her father and brother, and she resigned her post and returned home.
For about 35 years, she lived in Richmond, Maine with her husband, James Otis Carter, where she gave birth to their three children, and he farmed.
She died July 31, 1944 at the age of 75, as a result of pneumonia following a fall in which she broke her hip.

Story
James began his days prophetically, born at sea at a time of supremacy of the American merchant marine and the Yankee Clippers, yet by the time he became an adult, sail had yielded to steam and the helm of a tall ship offered few career opportunities. After four generations of mariners on his paternal side, James sought his fortune on land.
He was educated in the primary and secondary schools of Woolwich, Maine and attended Tufts Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a year.
In 1899 in 1901, he tried his hand at prospecting for gold in Alaska, without notable success. His journals recount the tribulations of the prospecting life, and are preserved in a transcript assembled by his grandchildren Rita Goss and Avis Carter Gebert.
After returning from Alaska, James was a minister in Stow, Maine, and married Flora Mason, principal of the Springfield, Maine Academy, in 1903. Three children were born to them in Stow, a son Mason, and fraternal twin daughters Esther and Rachel. In early 1908, the family moved to a farm in Richmond, Maine, where he remained until his death in 1938.

Biography
- Mason Collyer Carter was born on 13 July 1905 in Stow, Maine.1
- He was usually called Mace.1
- He married Doris Adella Tate on 28 August 1926 in Holden, Maine.1
- The cause of his death was spinal meningitis.1
- He died on 17 October 1978 in Portland, Maine, at age 73.1
- He was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Woolwich, Maine.1
Story
At age 8, Mace broke his leg, which was not set well, and he walked with a perceptible limp for the rest of his life, which in his later years bore a resemblance to the pitch and roll of a ship in a seaway. When he was about twelve, he earned $1.50 a day cutting ice. He ended his formal education around the seventh grade, but was nonetheless a voracious sponge of knowledge and experience from others. He was an ardent advocate and example of the virtues of self-reliance and honesty, and of one's responsibility to others. He was the archetypal 'self made man,' and made his presence in this form felt among all who dealt with him, always ready to extend a helping hand to those who weren't quite as lucky as he was.
When he was 18, Mace operated a ferry across the Kennebec River between Richmond and Dresden. In August 1923 a fearful tragedy occurred. A car that was apparently insufficiently restrained fell into the river and drowned four of its occupants. Mace dove in and saved a nineteen year old girl and rescued two of the young boys in the car.
After his marriage to Doris Tate in 1926, they lived in a cabin on Swan Island in the Kennebec River near Richmond. Mace lumbered and did other day laboring jobs to meet his family responsibilities. In May of 1932, with Doris and their two children Martin and Avis, he moved into the family homestead of his grandfather E.L. Carter in Day's Ferry, Woolwich, built in 1828. Their neighbor Marcia Stinson remembered the event of their arrival with Mace trundling the children up from the ferry in a wheelbarrow on top of their belongings.
Between his marriage and the early forties, he was employed in various forms of lumbering and construction, and eventually struck out as an independent marine contractor. He operated for almost forty years as 'Mason C. Carter, Marine Contractor,' without incorporation, and was well known up and down several hundred miles of the Maine Coast as the man to call for an honest job of diving or seaside construction.Around 1955, he personally constructed his own 42 foot workboat, Hi-M (named after his silent partner Hiram Malcolm) from his own half-boat model. The single piece keel was sawn from a large oak selected by him, and extracted from the forest with great difficulty. The Hi-M is a testimony to Mace's values, and continues today in active service, after passing from his estate.
He enlivened the communal life of Woolwich as an active member of the softball team, and as a member of the planning board, where he strived to protect the rights of those whose residence was threatened by the forces of development.
His life was burdened by the premature death of his wife in 1959, and the task of raising his three grandchildren by his son Martin. He was devoted to his business, rising at 5:00 AM most days, even until three days before his untimely death from spinal meningitis at the age of seventy-three. At the time of his death, he was rebuilding the footbridge from Boothbay to East Boothbay, and the town honored him by erecting a stone with the plaque, 'Mace Carter, whatever he did, he did well,' which can today be viewed at the Boothbay end of the footbridge.
