Ruth Piper father, Dr Piper, office was located between what is now Meredith Villige Bank and Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street. Dr Piper was well known internationally for his iris plants. Ruth maintained an iris collection at that site until the Elks Club cleared the site. Ruth graduated from Laconia High School on Academy St.

There was an article in the Citizen about all the antiques artifacts that were stored in the house. It was a big Victorian house with beautiful wood turned moldings, stairways etc. Too bad it was all destroyed.

I recall Ruth talking about a sister, I assume Edith must be her. It is a small town.

Ruth retired from Fryeburg Academy where she teached Latin. She was also an excellent piano player and teaches piano.
