    Notes 
    • "[Aunt Helen] and her husband Henry were both lawyers and must have invested wisely for her estate was over $.5M when she passed away. She bequeathed a generous sum to a home for unwed mothers. I will always be appreciative of aunt Helen particularly because she bequeathed to all her great nieces and nephews $5K each --- that was a lot of money in 1960 ---  I used mine to help pay for my engineering education at UMass/Amherst. [She] was a very fine person and her generosity should be remembered. She was one those ground breaking women who became a lawyer which in those days was a profession dominated by men." - Bill Cashman, Merrimack, NH, 6 Sep 2020

      Henry C. Hamel was married, in 1921, to Helen Cashman, of Quincy, Massachusetts. Mrs. Hamel is a native of Quincy, Massachusetts, and was admitted to legal practice in Massachusetts, in 1917 and to the Maine bar in 1922. She is the pioneer in the legal field in Biddeford so far as women are concerned, and since 1922 she has been engaged in general practice in partnership with her husband, under the firm name of Hamel and Hamel. Both are known as able and resourceful practitioners, and have made for themselves and for the firm a reputation which is a valuable business asset. Mr. and Mrs. Hamel make their home at No. 17 West Myrtle Street, in Biddeford, and their office is located in the Paquin Building. [Source credit: Maine Biographies, Volume I, Harrie B.

      architects Miller and Mayo. The first floor has a central entrance sheltered by a metal canopy. Pilasters with Greek key
      capitals are located at the corners and on each side of the entrance. Separating the first and second floors is a wide stone
      entablature with decorative stone panels at the ends depicting wings. Pilasters separate the five bays of the second and
      third floors, with stone decorative panels at the top and bottom of each pilaster. The rectangular windows found in each
      bay of the upper stories have fixed sashes. Stepped parapets also ornament the corners; each has a central panel
      depicting a Native American in full feather headdress on each side (Photograph 30).

    This tintype is typical of the photographs taken by sidewalk photographers at seaside resorts in the first decade of the 20th century. This photo was taken at Nantasket Point in Hull, Mass., by C. E. Pease sometime between 1899 and 1909. Mary Agnes Cashman is in the back row on the left.

    Martha Bewick writes: "I believe this photo includes Hannah Falvey Cashman to the left, George D. Reardon, third from the left, and Helen Cashman in the midddle. Perhaps it was her graduation from law school." [NOTE of Donna J. Goldstein: Helen was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1917. The clothing in this photo date it to the 1920s, and the apparent age of George D. Reardon would suggest the late 1920s, so it is unlikely that this photo was taken at her law school graduation.] [Photo credit: collection of Martha Reardon Bewick]

    019 1901c Cashman family at Cedar Bluff
    In June of 1901, Hannah M. Cashman purchased a piece of property on Hough's Neck in Quincy. This photograph may have been taken that first summer to commemerate the new acquisition. At the turn of the century, Hough's Neck was one of the premiere resorts in the United States. Old family photographs such as this one suggest that 20 Bay View Avenue, or "Cedar Bluff" as it was called, was a popular summer gathering place for the wife, children and grandchildren of John Cashman from 1901 to 1919. The structure was built in 1892 and was set high on a rise overlooking Quincy Bay. Adjacent to the house was a steep slope where the family played games and posed for pictures. A flight of steep wooden stairs led from the house to the beach. The original house from 1892 is still in existence, although it has been recently renovated. Seated on the lawn, From L to R: William J. Cashman, Hannah Cashman, Helen Cashman, Catherine Adeline Cashman, Henry A. Cashman, unknown girl, Anna Beatrice Cashman.

The caption under this photo reads, "A Cashman family gathering at their summer house on the Quincy shore, about 1905." As the sign in the upper right corner indicates, this photo was taken at "Cedar Bluff," the Cashman family's summer home at 20 Bayview Avenue in Hough's Neck, Quincy. [NOTE of Donna J.
