  • Reference
  • Object, Musical, Stringed Instrument, Fiddle, Violin
  • Stanley - Ralph Warren Stanley (1929-2021)
"Meanwhile I played a violin that I had bought from Millard Spurling. This violin had a mother of pearl inlay on the back. Millard had bought the violin from George Joy [George Jacob Joy (1861-1936)], who I believe taught school at Great Cranberry Island. Millard had intentions of learning to play but never did. After his wife died he had a lady friend at Ellsworth who had a daughter going to school who wanted to take violin lessons so he let her borrow it. When he got it back it was damaged. He had it for a number of years before he sold it to me. I repaired it and that gave me something to play while I scraped the varnish off the one I made. I intended to re-varnish but didn’t get to it so it set around in this condition for years. While playing at the Grange Hall at Northport I miss-stepped and fell off the stage with the Spurling violin in my hand. I was not hurt but the top was in splinters." - "Fiddle Making" by Ralph Warren Stanley, 2010. Ralph has since repaired the "Spurling Violin."

Philip Moore (1871-1937) was born on June 30, 1871 at Gotts Island, Maine to Enoch Newman Moore and Laura A. (Gross) Moore. Philip married Lovina Ethel Joyce (1879-1956) on December 24, 1897 at Swans Island, Maine. Lovina Ethel Joyce was born on June 2, 1878 to Edwin Manson Joyce and Mary Ann (Hinckley) Joyce on Swans Island. Philip Moore died in 1937 and Lovina Ethel (Joyce) Moore died on January 29, 1956 in Ellsworth, Maine. "Philip Moore lobstered, fished a weir, and ran a small store in an ell of the Moore house. He was also the postmaster for Gott's Island and turned his hand to whatever other work came his way. Lovina Moore was a hard-working woman who took care of her children, ran the house, kept chickens and a cow, and planted a big garden. She also took in a few boarders and fed summer people who vacationed elsewhere on the island but came to the Moore house for their meals. "She was a strong woman," Esther Trask, one of Ruth's younger sisters, comments. Trask feels that Lovina Moore was the model for the strong, resourceful, and emotionally resilient women characters that abound in Ruth Moore's books." - “Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine” by Jennifer Craig Pixley, The University of Maine site, 1996, accessed online 03/27/08; http://dll.umaine.edu/welcome/wom/rmarticle.htm
