Page 206. – Frank Elmer Kneeland, born at Searsport, Me., July 27, 1870. Married December 24, 1910, to Bertha Louise Junkins of Brooklyn by the Reverend Doctor Newell Dwight Hillis, Pastor of Plymouth Church, in the parlor of his home at 23 Monroe Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. For eleven years preceding and six months succeeding her marriage, she was the teacher of Latin and Greek at the Berkeley Institute, 183 (181-3-5) Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, N.Y. Her parents were George Selby and Josephine (McDuffee) Junkins – (her mother was named Mary Josephine) –, born 10, 1846 and February 12, 1848, at South Berwick, Maine, and Rochester, New Hampshire, respectively. [...]
 Mr. and Mrs. Junkins’s eldest child, Bertha Louise, had taken the degree of A.B. at Boston University with the class of 1898 and that of A.M. at Radcliffe in 1899, in September of which year she assumed her duties as one of the Faculty of The Berkeley Institute and became on the the occupants of a table for four in what is now known as “The Victoria” at 42-44 Seventh Avenue, Brooklyn — which last is only some three miles removed from the north’east corner of the Manhattan tower of the old Brooklyn Bridge!

Frank E. and Bertha (Junkins) Kneeland have two children:
 (1) Helen Elizabeth Crockett Kneekland – (except for birth certificate purposes the “Elizabeth” has been dropped) –, born at the Prospect Heights Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Washington Ave. and ST. John’s Place) – on December 24, 1911, her mother having been attended byr DR. J.P. Pendelton, 90 Sixth Ave., Broklyn. As I write this (3/12/17) she is scurrying around “The Hill” in Searsport, dragging a sled made for Hal by her Great-Grandfather Crockett and with “Don” as her companion!
 (2) Frances Hichborn Kneeland, born June 20, 1916, at the Methodist Episcopal – (“Seney”) – Hospital, Seventh Ave. and Seventh street, Brooklyn, N.Y., where her mother was attented by Dr. Harold Bell of President Street, Brooklyn, acting for Dr. Louis M. Dusseldorf, 392 Union St., Brooklyn the family physician who had recently lost his right hand in an automobile accident.
 Before she was two weeks old the Infantile Paralysis Epidemic of 1916, in which there were something like 10,000 cases and 2500 deaths in the City of New York alone, had gained full headway in Brooklyn, its place of origin, whence her father, upon learning from Dr. Bailey Sunday evening that seventeen cases had that day been taken from a few blocks in Union Street, had fled the next day, Monday, July 3rd, to Maine with her sister Helen, leaving her and her mother to be brought home from the hospital the next day by “Grammie” Shaw (Mrs. Florence C., the wife of the Rev. Edward B. Shaw of Monroe, N.Y.)–, and on which “Flight into Egypt” he was followed by her and her mother just two weeks later – they arrived at Searsport on July 19th and they’re there yet! She is now (3/12/17) busily, and noisily, engaged in cutting some teeth, two of which are already in evidence! The “Frances” is as near as she could come to being named for her “Daddy” and the “Hichborn” was the middle name of both her Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Kneeland, on whom it had been bestowed in respect to that Hon. Robert Hichborn of the “Boston Tea Party” who had brougth her Great-Great-Grandfather Edward Kneeland to Cape Jellison from Boston when the American Republic was so young that its Constitution had not yet been adopted nor Washington elected President! — and but for whom our particular branch of the Kneeland family probably never would have landed in Maine! Perhaps they wouldn’t have landed anywhere! Quien sabe?
 A propos of names: – Her elder sister was first called “Helen Elizabeth” but when, upon attaining to the age of about four weeks, she frowned upon her “Daddy” so migthily that he remarked that “she looks just like her Great-Grandfather Crockett!”, her mother seized upon the incident as a good and sufficient reason for making her middle name “Crockett”! I tried to have the name changed in the Brooklyn office of the Registrar of Births for New York but was told that this could not be done — that in the event she should ever wish to obtain a birth certificate, she shoud ask to have it issued in the name of Helen Elizabeth Crockett Kneeland. This curcumstance is set down here – (I forgot to write it under her own name) – for her information in the event that she should need it when her father and mother have “gone away from here”! I may also remark that the “Helen” is for her Aunt Helen MacDuffee (Junkins) Beach, who “improved” on her mother’s spelling of her maiden name by adding an “a“ to it!

 George S. Junkins, a former Mayor of Lawrence, was born in North Berwick, York, Me. May 10, 1846. A son of Daniel and Louisa (Weymouth) Junkins, he is of the fifth generation in America descended from his immigrant ancestor, who came from Scotland an settled in old York, Me. From York the family subsequently moved to Berwick, Me. Jotham Junkins, the grandfather of George S., born in 1791, was a farmer in North Berwick. He married a Miss Ingraham, of Portland, Me., who bore him one son and three daughters.
 Daniel Junkins, born in North Berwick in 1821, who as a meat dealer in South Berwick, died in his native town in 1893. His first wife, Louisa, also a native of North Berwick, died in 1855, aged thirty-seven. She was the mother of five children, namely : Mary Ellen, who died at the age of seventeen; Oscar W., who became a sea captain, and whose residence is in Lawrence; Daniel E., now a farmer of Buxton, Me. ; George S., the subject of this sketch ; and Sarah A., who became the wife of Charles H. Lindsay, and died without issue in 1895.

The maiden name of Daniel Junkins’s second wife, who came from Smithfield, was Olive Merrill. A most estimable lady, she has been a kind mother to the orphaned children. At present she is living in Somersworth, N.H. Her children by her late husband are : Louise, the wife of Alvin H. Stevens, of Dover, N.H. ; Mary, the wife of Frank Malory, of Somersworth, N.H. ; and Frank, a resident of Lebanon, Me.
 George S. Junkins acquired his early education in the common schools of South Berwick and Lebanon. At the age of sixteen he wen to work in a flannel factory in North Berwick, where he was employed for six years. He then opened a meat market in Lawrence in company with A. I. Mellen. Since that time the firm has established an extensive and prosperous business. Mr. Junkins has ranked prominently among the business menn of Lawrence for over thirty years. He is active and popular among the Lawrence Republicans. In 1890 he was in the Common Council, in 1891 and 1893 he was member of the Board of Aldermen, and since 1893 he has been serving on the Water Board, of which at present he is the President. Elected Mayor in 1896 an re-elected in 1897, he proved a progressive and able chief magistrate.
 Mr. Junkins was married April 2, 1870, to Josie M. McDuffee, of this city, a daughter of Charles and Sarah (Hopkinson) McDuffee. Some time ago, Mr. McDuffee, who was a carpenter and builder, fell from a building, and died one week after from the injuries he then received, aged fifty-nine years. His wife had died at the age of twenty-nine, leaving Josie M., her only child. Mr. and Mrs. Junkins have three children : Bertha L., an accomplished young lady, who, having completed the classical course in Boston University, graduated therefrom June 1, 1898 ; Helen M., who is a teacher in Dr. Sargent’s School of Physical Culture in Cambridge, Mass. ; and Marion W., now sixteen years of age, who graduated in June, 1898, from the Lawrence High School.

From The Kneeland Miscellany, Compiled by Bertha J. and Frank E. Kneeland, 1914-1917. Page 206.
George Selby and Mary Josephine (McDuffee) Junkins [were] born 10, 1846 and February 12, 1848, at South Berwick, Maine, and Rochester, New Hampshire, respectively. They were married at Lawrence, Mass., April 12, 1870 (4/2/70) and, with the exception of the first year of their married life during which Mr. Junkins was in charge of a woolen factory at North Berwick, Me., lived continuously in that city, of which he was twice Mayor, up to the time of his death on November 12, 1900. Some three years after his death and after her daughters Helen and Marian had graduated from the Boston University School of Medecine and Radcliffe College respectively in 1903 (1903), Mrs. Junkins removed with her daughter Helen to Lowell, Mass, where they resided upt to the time of the latter’s marriage to Edward J. Beach at her sister Marian’s home on the grounds of Leland Stanford, Jr. University at Palo Alto, California, in April 1909.
 Having previously sold her home on Tower Hill, Lawrence, (110 Bodwell street), Mrs. Junkins thereafter became a considerable traveller, making frequent visits to her daughters in Brooklyn, N.Y., Dubuque, Iowa, and Leland Stanford, Jr., University, California, taking occasion to see such natural wonders as The Yellowstone, The Yosemite, and The Grand Canyon of Arizona en route, a tour of Alaska in 1911, and one of Europe extending through Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belgium, in 1912. She last visited her eldest daughter at Brooklyn on her return from Europe in September, 1912, at which time she took the pictures of her grand-daughter Helen seated in her baby chairs and bath-tub on the roof of the apartment house at 128 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, with the tower of the Christian Science Church accross the way in the background, which appear in Helen’s baby album. Leaving for Dubuque on this occasion, Mrs. Junkins made the trip up the Hudson on one of the Day Line steamers and opined that, except for the castles, the real Rhine which she had traversed a few weeks previously had nothing on its American prototype! Shortly after her youngest daughter Marian’s third child (Carlton Skinner) was born at the hospital in Palo Alto, California, in April, 1913, Mrs. Junkins herself was forced to become a patient in the same hospital where she underwent two operations for the stomach trouble from which she had long been a sufferer! She rallied sufficiently to make the trip to Dubuque, Iowa, in the early Summer of 1913, but suffered a relapse shortly after her arrival and died in the hospital to which she had been removed in Dubuque on August 6, 1913. Both she and her husband sleep in the lot which he had provided in the Extension to Bellevue Cemetery at Lawrence, Mass. Prior to his election to the Mayoralty, Mr. Junkins had been in the Meat and Provision business. After his second term as Mayor had expired he became associated with the Stanley Grain Company of Lawrence as its Treasurer! It is now owned and conducted by George A. Stanley, whose father was the original founder of the business!
