Hello- I just found this WikiTree while looking for information on-line about my Maine relatives. Grace Blanchard, (who we referred to as Grammy Blanchard), is my maternal Great Grandmother. She lived a good, long life, and I was fortunate to know her, love her, and spend many happy times with her. My Grandmother was her daughter Esther Pelrine.
