page #19 - Capt Gilmore Scranton earned his title in the Spanish American War and retained it appropriately as Captain of his large Schooner, CASCO which he anchored off his home for many seasons. He took many Resorters for day sails and took his family on long tours of the Great Lakes. His son, Jack, learned much of his sailing skills on board.
Page #16 1911 was the year also that Home #3 named "Broad Hearth' was built for Capt Gilmore Scranton who was married to GJ's sister anna Belle Jenks. The house was according to Brigit, George' greatest accomplishment in architecture. It does have a magnificent ambiance, with its solid log construction of the 1st floor and a stucco and beam 2nd floor. It has 8 bedrooms & 7 1/2 baths with 7 fireplaces in all. One of the main support beams stretches end to end of the long expansive house - a mighty tall tree. The stair threads are solid logs. It houses a secret staircase and a wall cupboard in the dining room is hidden too. It is an impressive sight in its setting of spacious lawns and large trees.
GJ is George Jenks and Brigit his wife.
