Legislative Record - House, June 3, 1975 (B1550)

Mrs. Beyers of Newcastle presented the following Joint Resolution and moved its adoption: (H.P. 1658).
In Memoriam
Having Learned of the Death of Miss Pauline Fenno of Sheepscot, Maine The Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Maine do hereby extend their sincere heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family and friend of the deceased: and further
While duly assembled in session at the State Capitol in Augusta under the Constitution and Laws of the State of Maine, do herein direct that this official expression of sorrow be forthwith sent to the family of the deceased on behalf of the Legislature and the people of the State of Maine.

The resolution was read.
The SPEAKER: The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Newcastle, Mrs Byers.

Mrs BYERS: Mrs Speaker and Members of the House: Miss Pauline Fenno devoted most of her energy and ability to helping others. She served as the unofficial driver of the Dowager Marchioness of Reading England from 1938 until 1945. She served as a member of the staff of Lady Reading who headed Great Britain's Voluntary Services throughout the Second World War.

Following the war, she returned to her birthplace, Boston, where she served as consultant of Women's Voluntary Participation in Civil Defense. In 1965, Miss Fenno moved to Sheepscot, a section of Newcastle, where she purchased seven historical buildings for renovation and preservation. Also, in the last ten years, Miss Fenno gave the town of Sheepscot its ballfield, clubhouse, tennis courts and a riding ring complete with horses and instruction to teach the local children the English style of riding. Lincoln County and the Town of Newcastle has been very fortunate to have Miss Fenno as a resident for the past ten years and we will miss her.
Thereupon, the Resolution was adopted and sent up for concurrence.
