2018-020 Maude May/Guild/Hennessy photos and books;
Maude May was born in 1924, the daughter of David May and Bertha Comstock. David May grew up on Grenadier Island in the St. Lawrence River and lived for many years on a houseboat which he anchored at Endowen Island on the south side of Grenadier. Maud and her siblings Bernice and Victor attended school on Grenadier Island, from the houseboat. He became the caretaker for Winnekenny Lodge, the summer home of the Nichols Family from Haverhill, Massachusetts. During that time he anchored the houseboat at Winnekenni Island in the summer, and moved it to Endowen for the off season when the children were going to Grenadier Island School. After Maude started High School, he moved the houseboat to Gananoque inner harbour in the off-season.. Maude married Donald Guild in 1963 and had a son Joseph, who donated this collection to archives.

2018-020-A The Guest book from Winnekenni Lodge.
It is bound into a book 10.5 cm thick with figured wooden covers and gold lettering on the spine. It contains poems, songs, quotations, photos, sketches, watercolours, and clippings by and about the owners and guests and hired help on the island from 1908 to 1961.
