Want to hear something EERIE?

I've been doing lots of Boudway research lately [2011-2012] and creating some Boudway pages on my website. At the foot of my bed is my wall of ancestral photos. A few days ago, I woke up around dawn and my cat Eli also woke up and started staring at the photo of my great grandfather Frank Boudway (1885-1968), just him, none of the other photos on the wall. Then he jumped up on the dresser and reached up pawing the photo, looking, and pawing some more. This went on for quite a few minutes. Wondered if Gramp was watching over me and encouraging my research putting together all the descendants of the Boudway family tree.

Well, the next day I was searching for some water-testing papers everywhere and couldn't find them. I checked the cubbyhole shelves unit on my back desk that I never use. I found a stationery box and looked inside. It was the funeral guestbook of my great grandfather. Inside it were laminated obituaries and funeral cards for my g-grandparents and others that I don't remember ever seeing before. My grandmother must have given them to me at one time. I had been searching for his obit for years, and couldn't even find it in the newspaper microfilm.

           45   M      v.         William Albert BOUDWAY was born on 7 Apr 1887 in Randolph, Kennebec, ME and died on 13 Jul 1939 in Farmingdale, Kennebec, ME at age 52.

                   M     vi.         Jessie A BOUDWAY was born on 1 Dec 1895 in West Gardiner, Kennebec, ME and died on 19 May 1896 in West Gardiner, Kennebec, ME.

                   M    vii.         Raymond Earl Davis (Adpt) BOUDWAY was born on 13 Dec 1897 in Gardiner, Kennebec, ME and died on 19 Feb 1963 in Poland, Androscoggin, ME at age 65.
Raymond Davis was adopted by John & Mary Boudway. WW I draft registration card gives his birthdate, res 100 Northern Ave Farmingdale, mother Mary E Boudway same address, shoemaker with Johnson Bros in Hallowell; med ht and build, brown eyes and hair. 
1921 M/C: Raymond is a Lineman and Millicent is a typist. Raymond was adopted but it says his parents were John M Boudway b St Catherine, Canada & Mary Pooler b Belfast. Her parents are Herbert Tracy b Livermore Falls & Edna Putman b Peru ME.

PHOTOS & DOCUMENTS OF THE NEXT GENERATIONS
Click on photos for larger versions (of most) or before copying for your personal use. Thanks. NOTE: I am not happy with the quality of these B&W scans. I learned at a genealogy meeting that they can come out cleaner by just taking a [steady and straight-on] digital photo of the old photo. So that's what I will be doing when I find time.
3 gravestones in the Boudway lot St Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, Gardiner	Mary Pooler b 1855-7 on right??? Ca 1900: Alice Boudway Delaware on left; others unknown. Alice b 1877 had one sister, Arvilla (md Wm Dill) born 5 years later, and of course a mother, Mary Pooler. It is my GUESS that that is who the other two women are, but I'd like to hear from someone who KNOWS. Has anyone ever seen a similar photo with any of these people? Anybody have a copy without the white spots?
