[51560] "The Ellsworth American [Ellsworth, Maine], 12 April 2016": "Hancock - Vera Mabel Bunker Foss, 98, passed away on March 21, 2016, at the Golden Acres Boarding Home in Franklin. Vera was born Oct. 28, 1917, in Franklin, the daughter of Lester Earl Bunker and Florence Emma Lowe. After the death of her mother when Vera was a toddler, she was cared for by relatives and by George and Ethel Gordon in their East Franklin home. A stellar graduate of Franklin High School, she worked as a telephone operator and was active in the Franklin Schoodic Grange. She met husband, Leslie Crabtree Foss of Hancock, at a community bridge night when he approached her and gallantly asked whom they might both know at the event who could properly introduce them. Vera waited for Leslie to return from four years of service during World War II in the U.S. Army Air Force in the Pacific. Married at the Franklin Baptist Church in January 1946, they had two daughters, Vivian and Junemma. Vera and Leslie raised much of their familys food in a large vegetable garden with the late summer becoming a marathon of hot-water canning of tomatoes, beans, and berries along with storage of bushel baskets of apples and onions. Barrels of potatoes took a prominent spot in the stone cellar. Four varieties of squash went on the floor under the childrens beds. Vera served for several decades as a postmaster, first assisting in summers at the Hancock Point office, and then becoming the postmaster for the main Hancock office at the Corner. She will be remembered for her varied and extensive public service to the communities of Franklin and Hancock. Among other activities, she served on the Riverside Cemetery Association; the Monument Lot Committee; and as the Treasurer of the Union Congregational Church (UCC) of Hancock, of which she was a member for more than 50 years, serving several terms as treasurer. She did fundraising for the construction of the church vestry and served as a delegate to the Maine Conference of Churches. She succeeded her father-in-law for a few years as a moderator at the Hancock Town Meeting and worked as a teachers assistant at the Hancock Grammar School where she had earlier been a voice of the local and state Maine Parent-Teacher Association. Loving local history, Vera was an active member of both the Franklin and Hancock Historical Societies. Some residents will find on their library shelves a copy of the societys A History of the Town of Hancock 1828-1978, a project of Hancocks Sesquicentennial Committee, which remains a valuable historical record and photographic resource. Vera loved working with her Hancock neighbors who collaborated to write the text and assemble the volume. After her retirement from the post office, she received a plaque as Hancock Citizen of the Year, and later was presented with the Boston Post Cane as the oldest citizen of Franklin. Vera also loved to travel and enjoyed cruises through the Alaskan fjords and down the Nile River of Egypt. She traveled internationally to the Eastern Canadian Provinces, England, Scotland, Denmark, Israel, Venezuela, and Ecuador; and with Elderhostel, she widely explored major U.S. cities in the lower 48, including the American West. It can be said that Vera was ever resilient and good-humored. Her daughter Vivian, visiting from Wisconsin in the summer of 2015, sat at her bedside when over the course of several days, Vera appeared to have slipped into some sort of unresponsive progressive decline. Caught up in reading a Jane Austen novel in preparation for teaching a literature course in the fall at the university, Vivian suddenly realized that it seemed that her mother had stopped breathing. Somewhat panicked that she had missed a critical moment, Vivian put her head to her mothers chest and listened intently. Vera slowly opened one eye, looked skeptically at her daughter, and declared, Im not dead yet, and Im hungry. Veras final words, some eight months later, were 'Take care of yourself.' Vera is survived by daughter Vivian Foss (Martin Gruberg) of Hancock and Oshkosh, Wis., and a hearty group of descendants. Veras daughter Junemma and son-in-law John Kittredge, formerly of Ellsworth, gave Vera five grandchildren, now living in California and Oregon: Crichton (Brenda) Kittredge and their children Madison, Cassidy, Connor, and Kennedy; Russa Kittredge (Christian) Langpap and their children Nicole and Andrew; Olivia (Becky) Kittredge and their children Emma and Caden; Clare (Nick) Bisho and their children Elle and Cooper; and Clive (Jenny) Kittredge and their daughter Amelia June born in July 2015. Vera is also survived by three nieces and nephews who provided invaluable support during Veras more than a dozen years at Golden Acres: Robert (Jean) Foss of Hancock and Arizona; John (Ruth) Bunker of Holden and their children Elizabeth and Julie; and Cheryl Bunker (John Foster) and their children Stephanie and Courtney of Massachusetts. Veras much loved half-sister, Marjorie Bunker Getchell, is now living in Ellsworth, and with Marjories daughter Faye (Richard) Havey and their children Richard (Diane), Wayne (Julie), and Mark Havey have offered support from Franklin. Children of Veras half-brother Charles William Bunker, now deceased, are local residents Beth Bunker Anderson and Timothy Bunker, who along with Veras stepsister Arlettes son Ronald Trundy have kept Vera in their thoughts for many years. Vera was predeceased by husband Leslie who died as a middle-aged man in December 1973; by daughter Junemma, a young mother, in January 1997; and by her older brother Lester Earl Bunker Jr. in 2012. In closing, the family wishes to thank the staff of the Franklin Golden Acres Boarding home under the leadership of Diane Dow, who first met Vera as a student at Hancock Grammar School, for their indefatigable care during a long goodbye as Vera endured an amazing longevity despite some form of dementia. The nearly daily visits of the Bangor-based Community Health and Counseling Services Hospice Team made the ups and downs of these last two years bearable."

[5488] See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I,_Landgrave_of_Hesse-Kassel which reports "Under his rule Kassel recovered faster from the Thirty Years' War than other regions in Germany . He built a relatively large army which he rented to the highest bidder in the War of Spanish Succession. At the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 in France, Karl welcomed the expelled Huguenots giving them freedom of worship. Some 4000 Huguenots settled in Kassel. Karl stimulated the metal-industry and was also interested in archaeology."
