A Chronical of the
Willey Family Tragedy
(Conclusion)
© 1994 Floyd W. Ramsey
Edward Melcher
again approached the desolate
house he found several men
milling around. One of his brothers was among them. This brother assured him that Abel’s family
had come safely through the
storm. Following a limited
search, the group was forced to
agree that there was little hope
the Willey family would be found
alive. Having difficulty accepting
this realization, Ethan became
too upset to reman near the
house any longer. Against his
brother’s wishes, he once more
headed back through the soulsearing snarl. Engulfed by the
black of night, he wearily groped
and stumbled his way home.
Meanwhile, as word circulated
that the Willey family had disappeared, more able-bodied men
headed for the Notch. Among
them was Benjamin D. Eastman
of Conway. Describing the
moment, he later wrote: “We
immediately commenced moving
in the direction of the Notch. Not
only relatives, but all who could
safely leave and endure the severity of such a trip. The strong and
the athletic pushed on over every
incumbrance, climbing over
rocks, trees and brush, and wading through swift waters. Some
who had not the power of
endurance dropped into private
homes until the next morning.
“Two of us from Conway
pressed on to the old Crawford
House, and there learned that a
small party had left nearly an
hour before. As it was now past
midnight, we first thought we
would stop until daylight. But
after taking some refreshments
we replenished our tin lanterns
and resumed our journey. We
were soon in with the others, they
having been retarded in felling
trees on which t, cross some of
the streams.”
At this point Eastman was now
traveling with a rescue part that
included Abel Crawford, Edward
Melcher,
Richard
Barnes,
Samuel Tuttle and several other
men. Earlier this group had
struggled to reach Crawford’s inn
from Bartlett. Abel, who was
with them even then, experienced
difficulty trying to cross the
Sawyer River. Appreciably older
than the other men, he was
unable to ford the swift current.
Eager to get home to check on his
family, he was determined to get
across. Melcher finally solved the
problem by carrying him over on
his back.
After enjoying a brief family
reunion, Abel was told about the
losses he suffered from the storm.
But, like his son Ethan, he was
more upset over what must have
happened to the Willeys. When
the group left his inn for the Willey House that night he was with
them.
About this time final confirmation of the disappearance finally
reached both the Lovejoys and
the elder Willeys. Because the
messenger first carried the sad
tidings to the Lovejoys, he found
himself blocked on that side by
the swollen Saco River. The Reverend Benjamin Willey, Samuel
Jr.’s brother, later described what
the messenger did next: “To get
ears to hear his important tidings,
he stood on the river’ s brink, the
nearest point to my father’s, and
sounded a trumpet. It was the
sound of the shrill blast after
shrill blast through the darkness
which startled the elder Willey
and the entire neighborhood from
their repose.”
Awakened in this abrupt manner, the startled sleepers gathered
on the river’s bank and heard the
dreadful news shouted across the
roaring river, “News of the Willey
family! All are gone!”
On Thursday morning, August
31, while James Willey, Samuel
Jr.’s elder brother, directed the
search around the rubble directly
in front of the house, Samuel Willey, Sr., along with his sons Benjamin and Stephan, and other relatives, friends and neighbors,
made their way up the Notch
road.
Going on noon, as they neared
the site, they could see that three
slides had come off Mt. Willey.
The southernmost slide had
deposited its tangled debris thirty
feet high in the intervale. The
northernmost slide, which was
the longest, had notched the skyline and had come down directly
behind the house. The third slide
had completely overwhelmed the
cart body which Samuel, Jr. had
planned to use as a “safe refuge.”
With about fifty men now
gathered to hunt for the bodies
the search turned southward
toward the debris that had been
washed along by the flood.
Despite exhaustion, Ethan Crawford had arrived again in
response to a message he had
received at home requesting his
assistance.
Shortly after noon Edward
Melcher, following the southern
division of the slide, brushed
against a twig. When he did, he
disturbed flies gathered around
an entrance in the debris. Working. his way into this opening, he
discovered a man’s hand jammed
between two logs. Hearing his
shouts, Stephan Willey and
Thomas Hart came to his assistance with shovels. Their digging
soon exposed the body of the
hired man, David Allen. This
find meant that there was now a
widow with four children living
in Bartlett who was left penniless
and at the mercy of charity.
A short time later Mrs. Willey’s
body was found lying directly
behind Allen. When both bodies
were uncovered, they were found
to be nude and terribly mangled.
Particularly about the head.
Allen’s right hand was extended
T HE W HITE M OUNTAIN S HOPPER /J OURNAL
Upon the spot where the remains of the Willey Family were temporarily buried in Crawford Notch, it
was the custom for years afterward for visitors to
place a stone on the gravesite. Over time, a larger
monument literally grew out of the ruins of the slide.
toward Mrs. Willey, and it was
only separated from her left hand
by two feet. It appeared as
though he had been guiding her
up to the moment of death.
While Melcher, Willey, and
Hart continued digging out those
bodies, Richard Barnes found
Mr. Willey’s body about seventy
feet farther down the brook. One
of Willey’s knees was sticking out
of the water. He was not only
pinned under a timber from the
barn, but he was also entangled in
the top of an uprooted tree. After
being removed, he was found to
be fully clothed except for a torn
off coat sleeve. Since his injuries
were much less severe than either
Allen’s or his wife’s, he was much
more recognizable.
As night came on, the search
was halted. The three bodies were
wrapped in sheets, and then
placed in crude coffins that were
hastily constructed. They were
next set in a temporary common
grave close to the house where
they would remain until they
could be moved that winter. Following the burial, Elder Samuel
Hazeltine of Bartlett offered up a
brief prayer of committal and
read from Isaiah 40:12: “Who
hath measured the waters in the
hollow of his hand and meted out
heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in
a measure and weighed the
mountains in scales, and the hills
in a balance?”
The next morning most of the
searchers left. A few remained
behind to look for the other six
bodies. Before he departed,
Ethan Crawford made a simple
monument for his deceased
friends. With a piece of red chalk
he printed on a planed board:
“THE
FAMILY
FOUND
HERE.” He then nailed the
board to a dead tree, and
returned home where he was

badly needed.
The search for the other
remains continued for the rest of
the week without success. By
Sunday, September 3, the only
searchers still there were Benjamin Eastman and a small boy
named George Nickerson. Nickerson’s older brother, the other
hired man, was still missing.
About noon of that day, Eastman and the boy worked below
the area where the other bodies
had been found. From a large jam
they saw what appeared to be a
straw bed. In order to reach it,
they had to build a raft. While
removing some of the broken timbers from the jam, they disturbed
more £lies. Knowing what their
presence could mean, Eastman
and the boy began digging. Three
feet down they uncovered a
child’s toes. Their efforts were
interrupted by the arrival of
friends who had come to help.
Put to work, the newcomers
completed removing the body of
Sally Willey, 3. In the meantime,
Eastman and Nickerson had finished building the raft and had
floated down to the bed. From
that location they spotted what
looked lik.e another body.
It turned out to be the oldest
child, Eliza Ann, 13. When she
was removed from the water she
was wearing only a large handkerchief. Presumably it was tied
to her waist so that someone
could lead her. Since there was
not a single bruise anywhere on
her body, it was evident that she
had drowned.
In less than two hours that day
the youngest and the eldest of the
children had been found.
As the search through the rubble continued, young Nickerson
sadly told Eastman, “1 know my
brother is dead, but 1 must see his
body or I shall die.”
On Tuesday, a week after the
disaster, his wish was granted.
David Nickerson’s body was
located four feet below the area
where the first bodies were
recovered. He was the last to be
found.
That December the four Willey
bodies were buried near “The
Bigelow Place” in upper Conway,
which today is known as Intervale. The father, mother, and two
children were all laid to rest in
one wide grave. However, their
large gray slate headstone is
inscribed with the names of the

than a rough boulder of red granite, is located in the far northwestern corner. In front of it
there is an American flag designating that he was once a soldier.
The whereabouts of Nickerson’s grave is unknown.
Today, though there is no way
of knowing exactly why the family and the two men fled the
house during the storm, the best
answer seerns to come frorn an
unusual source: a dream of
James Willey’s. In the dream he
spoke with his dead brother, asking him why they left the house

as they did. Samuel, Jr., replied,
“We did not leave the house until
the waters rose so high in front,
and came up so near that we
found they would carry away the
house. So to avoid being
drowned, we took some coverings
for shelter against the storm, and
went out to the foot of the mountain back of the house. From
there, soon after, we were carried
away by the great slide that came
down in that direction.”
When all is said and done, perhaps the strangest aspect of this
whole tragedy is the fact that
Samuel Willey’s last communication with his family appears to
have come from beyond the
grave.

I Miss the Barbershop
Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
Smalltown lost its barbershop about ten
years ago when old man Whitney dropped
dead while giving my Uncle Herbert his
monthly flat-top.
Roland Whitney was old. He was the only
barber I’d ever seen for a haircut until I was
pushing fifty. Dad would take my brothers and
me to Roland’s Barbershop every six weeks, or
so, for a buzz cut. I always enjoyed the experience.
I liked sitting in the big chair which Mr.
Whitney would pump up with his right foot to
bring me to his height. I couldn’t tell, because
he always wore the same baggy blue pants; but
I always figured Roland’s right leg must be
twice again the size of his left.
As a kid, I liked the big mirror I faced while
in the barber chair. These days, I’d rather look
at a male Holstein’s backside than to spend
twenty minutes staring at my own face. I’m
sure some would argue that there isn’t much
difference except that there isn’t as much bull
crap coming out of the Holstein.
Old Mr. Whitney was a talker. Once in his
chair, one was his captive audience and he’d
run his pie hole non-stop. He’d go on about the
Red Sox and how they fell apart in September;
he’d rave about the New York Giants (that
was before the Patriots were New England’s
team), and tell the same old stories every haircut.
My brothers and I would giggle because on
the ride to the barbershop we’d imitate Mr.
Whitney telling about how he could have been
a professional baseball player if he hadn’t been
drafted to fight in Korea.
“Did I ever tell you I was a pretty decent
second baseman in my younger days?”
Snicker, snicker—I tried not to look at my
brothers in the mirror.
“Yup, played for the Montpelier Senators.
Semi-pro. Mighta been drafted by the Red Sox
but had to go fight in Korea.”
“Hee, hee . . . huh, huh.” My face was the
color of Dad’s hunting hat from tying to suppress laughter.
“Oh, this razor tickles, don’t it Joey?”
“Yup.” Finally, I could laugh out loud . . .
along with Sam and K.C.
“Don’t laugh at your brother, boys. You’re
next,” Mr. Whitney would say.
As I got older, I still enjoyed my haircuts. It
•
Phone (603) 745-2828
was the same old stories and, basically, the
same haircut, but I found it really relaxing and
grew to understand why Dad would always
fall asleep during his trim. I’d wake up,
though, when the warm shave cream would
hit my face. It felt great, but, by then, I knew
old man Whitney drank a lot and the thought
of him with a straight razor to my neck made
me pucker a little.
Nobody stepped up to fill Mr. Whitney’s
shoes when he died. I guess men don’t want to
stand for eight hours a day and shave the hair
from the ears of crotchety old geezers like me.
So, these days I go to see that little girl,
Tammi, down at the Shear Pleasure beauty
shop where the little woman goes to get her
hair cut and her roots colored. It’s not the
same.
First off, the waiting area is full of bluehaired old ladies and Good Housekeeping
magazines. There isn’t an Outdoor Life or Hot
Rod journal to be found.
The place smells funny, too—all lavender,
roses and weird smells from the strong chemicals it takes to make some women look good.
It’s enough to make your hair curl!
And then there’s Tammi. She’s young and
cute and friendly enough, but she doesn’t
know squat about the Red Sox, Patriots or the
breeding habits of whitetail deer. She rambles
on incessantly about some desperate housewives in New Jersey or the cute little dress
she bought on sale at Small-Mart, and doesn’t
know Tom Brady from Marcia Brady.
To add insult to injury, I pay twice as much
for Tammi to cut my hair even though I seem
to have misplaced about half the hair that once
covered my noggin.
I guess that old red, white and blue turning
barber pole has gone the way of phone booths
and full service gas stations, but oh how I long
to hear about Roland Whitney’s baseball
career.

Upstage Players Community Theater brings MURDER to the Littleton Opera House Stage in Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap”
When the curtain opens for The Mousetrap on
the stage of the Littleton Opera House March 28th
at 7:30 pm, the news on the radio at Monkswell
Manor relates a murder that has recently taken
place. Mollie and Giles Ralston, the newly-married
owners of the once regal estate which they recently converted into a guest house, hardly notice the
news. They are far too busy preparing for the
arriving of their first guests, and concerned that
the blizzard raging outside may hamper their
arrival. So begins this masterpiece of mystery and
murder by world renowned author Agatha
Christie.
The group of strangers arrives to become
stranded in the boarding house during the storm,
one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include
the newly married couple who run the house
(played by Sage M. Couture and Andrew Lidestri)
as the suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their
perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background (Meghan Bullard), an architect
who seems better equipped to be a chef (Connor
MacDonald-Heit), a retired Army major (Mike
Valcourt), a strange foreign man (David Weddington) who claims his car has overturned in a drift,
and a judge (Katharyn Girouard) who makes life
miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a
policeman (played by Cassandra Gould), traveling
on skis. He no sooner arrives, when the judge is
killed. Two down and one to go! So, who is the
next victim? Will the murderer be unmasked in
time to stop more deaths?
The Mousetrap, set in the Great Hall of
Monkswell Manor in the 1950’s, has kept audiences guessing about these answers and many
more for over six decades in this classic who-doneit by the master of British murder mysteries.
To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern,
the policeman probes the background of everyone
present, and rattles a lot of skeletons leading to
another famous Agatha Christie switch finish that
will shock and amaze.
Though Dame Agatha Christie went on to
become one of the most famous writers in history,
selling billions of copies of her literary works and
renowned for many such as Murder on the Orient
Express and “Witness for the Prosecution, it is The
Mousetrap that has become the longest running
play in history, now in its 64th consecutive year on
the London Stage.
Directed by Andrew Lidestri, The Mousetrap
will be performed by the Upstage Players March
28, 29 and April 4 at 7:30pm, and two Sunday
Matinees performed March 30 and April 6 at
3:30pm. All performances will be at the Littleton
Opera House. Tickets are available now at the
Topic of the Town Restaurant on Main Street Littleton and at the door. General admission is $10.
“The Upstage Players is proud to present a production involving community members from all
across the North Country from Whitefield to
Woodsville, and everywhere in between, to produce a spectacular show in Littleton at the Opera
House.”
