SPring 5-1091 (Continued from Page 1) in 1813. He. with his father anil brothers , came to Cotuit High Ground as "first settlers" in his early youth. With his second wife, affectionately called "Mother Lucy ", he lived here until his death tn 1886. "Mother Lucy " lived until ISM. As first settlers they found living at Cotult was good. A good harbor , fine fishing, shipbuilding and whal- ing provided substance and com- fort. Cotuit captains carried much of the country 's coast-wise freight in their vessels; their packets plied to the Islands, other parts of Cape Cod and to Boston. Elizabeth Nickerson married John Morse and they became pro- prietors at the beginning of "The Pines." The story is told that Eliza- beth was afflicted with an ailment in her knees. The treatment pre- scribed for her trouble was "baking the ailing knees in hot sand on the sea shore." She. with her husband .John , being of thrifty habits, came to Cotuit for the purpose of curing the afflicted knees. They combined the probe of necessity with the Yankee sense of business and open- ed a hotel , in 1S93. At that time, a roadway from the easterly side of their land to the shore was known as East Way. That path , and the road to what is known as Loop Beach, were the only roads where wheeled vehicles could haul loads from the beach to the high land. They lived in a cottage which stood where the front of the hotel is now. Soon they added a frame building at the rear, without plas- ter or plumbing, but acceptable as summer vacation quarters in 1915. The kitchen equipment consisted of two domestic stoves which burned coal, a small ice box and a wooden sink . The lighting was en- tirely by kerosene lamp. Winter temperatures made natural ice, which was stored in a nearby ice house. The laundry, a single room in the ell of the Samuel Dottridge house, housed a small laundry stove. Two wooden hand tubs, a hand operated wringer and a set of fine scrubbing boards added to the adequate () equipment . Two laundresses washed all laundry by band, dried it on lines outdoors anil ironed it with old-tima flat- irons , heated on the small laundry stove. Atop the same stove, a clothes boiler contained the only supply of hot water. It kept a handy-man busy firing the stoves. Water was supplied by two wind- mills. One was perched on a wood- en tower at the back of the main building. It was famous for Its notorious "squeak". The other sat on a steel tower Inside a wooden tank , behind the Dottridge cottage. This enterprise, started by John and Elizabeth Morse, was so suc- cessful that , about 1900, the Nicker- son cottage was moved across the street. A few years later Alexan- , der Adams, who owned what is called "The Pine Tree" (It was n small half-house) decided to im- prove "his birthplace". With Yan- kee penchant for making a trade he bought the Dottridge cottage and gave it to John Morse on the condition he move it across the street to where the old "Sam" .Dot- tridge house stood. It got him cheap improvement. It is now part of the laundry building. "Sam" Dot- tridge was another "first settler " of Cotuit High Ground , he had brought his house with him from Harwich, by ox team. Actually, that house is older than the village itself. However , at the time Mr. Adams made his proposition to John Morse , the building was not as sightly as it was later, there- fore his anxiety to have the old ! house moved from his view . At the turn of the Century, Co- tuit was the home port of many retired sea captains. The row of cottages they built along the High Ground have successively become part of "The Pines." Elizabeth Morse died in 1908. Her husband, John , lived until 1910. A daughter , N'ita, took over from there and soon acquired a husband (Calvin D. Crawford). In 1915 the capacity of "The Pines" was about 50 persons; the rates, $13 per person (S2 for room , $11 for meals) per week. The ownership continued to ac- quire more neighboring cottages. In 1930 Mr. Crawford was "stuck" at an auction when he made a "starting 'Vbid of $100 for the old Cotuit "lire house." He moved it and it became the Limdciuist cot- tage of today. Succeeding generations of the Crawford family, wives, husbands ! _— and their children , have contrib- uted to the success of "The Pines". Through them and other devoted assistants , a record of 65 years of admired service to vacationists and friends has been accomplished. Calvin D. Crawford , through tho years, while primarily Interested In promoting "The Pines" as a lead- ing Cape Cod summer hotel , has not been unmindful of the fact that what was good for "The Pines" was good for the Cape and vice versa. He has continually worked for the good of Cape Cod through his associations with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, of which he was president for two years and through the Cape Cod and Massachusetts Hotel Associations, in both of which he has been a leader for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, although going into semi retirement at the i lose of the current season will continue to be heard from , for their associations on Cape Cod will not allow them to remain idle for long. Their voices will be heard from time to time, whenever Cape Cod's piosperlty is at stake, for Mr. and Mrs. Crawford are as much a part of Cape Cod as are the rugged old pines which gave their hotel Its name.
