Sam O. White Day on Saturday, July 11th in Strattonn

Stratton, Maine. The Dead River Area Historical Society will hold the annual Sam O. White Day, on Saturday July 11th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will be hosted by Sam's distant cousin Emerson Dyer. Sam's Day is usually held on the second Sunday in July but because of conflicting schedules will be held on Saturday for this year only.

Many changes have taken place in the museum this year. Sam's exhibit has been taken from a crowded wall and placed in a room of its own. Now his memorabila can be easily seen and enjoyed.

Sam was born and raised on Eustis Ridge Maine and after his duty in the First World War, moved to Alaska. He was the first bush pilot/Game Warden in the world.  The book, Sam O. White, Alaskan is now available at Country Charm in Stratton. For more information call 246-5871. You are missing something if you haven't read it.

Sam did a good job of documenting his life, and sending pictures, news paper clippings and other documents back to the people he loved. We are most appreciative that his family has chosen to share their  memorabila with the public  and to house it in the Dear River Area Historical Society.

For more information call: Mary Henderson 246-2271.
