Mt. Moosilauke (1888) - Merrill's Mountain Home
". . . A trip to Moosilauke without a visit to the Merrills would indeed be incomplete, in plain view from Breezy Point the site of The Moosilauke, and just across Asquamchumauke is the celebrated Merrill home, a large, white, substantial farm house to which had been built several additions until it is a house of no mean proportions, where people have found accommodations for many years, indeed the Merrill family have been noted for their old-fashioned hospitality and bear hunting for half a century.
Aunt Judy Merrill is yet a bright, cheerful, intelligent old lady about eighty years, having resided at the Merrill home more than sixty years, and can entertain with interesting anecdote and mountain lore. She lives with her son Amos, who carries on the house, catches bears and lives at peace with all mankind. . . ."
