Relief Savage Gordon enjoyed that fresh air on May 21st when she visited Maranacook Community School, so she visited Readfield Historical Society on June 2nd. Many folks stopped by to meet and visit with the old dame. She sure did love seeing them all! Someone even came from the Kennebec Journal and wrote a story about her.
Relief will be visiting Maranacook Adult Ed October 23rd 6:30-8:pm. Registration is required so watch for your fall catalogue or check the Adult Ed Website FMI.

Relief was born at old Fort Western in 1769 and died in Readfield at the ripe age of 92. Over the past few years she has “come alive” as a well known character in our parts. She has led historical bus tours in Readfield and likes to tell tales about her town, family and their way of life. Watch her come alive before your very eyes when Dale Potter Clark, historical interpreter and Relief’s 4th g-granddaughter, transforms herself into “Relief’s time.”
Relief says she knows someone who can get in touch with her if you'd like to arrange for a visit. She sure would appreciate a little donation to help feed her horse to get there and back home again! If she has to come too far she might even need a little "extree" for her "dinnah" and to stay at the local Inn!
