I'm looking at the old schedule for the "Uncle Sam" mailboat from about the 1920s, and I don't know where Edgemere was. The mailboat trip started from Lakeport, the first stop was Edgemere, and the second was the Weirs, so it must have been in Paugus Bay, but I can't find anything about it.

The other stop that had me puzzled was Woodmere, the next stop after the Weirs but before White Mountain Park on Bear Island, but I think I have figured out that it was mailboat captain Archie Lewis's house, and it was on the tip of Meredith Neck, just before Horse Island.

After White Mountain Park on the south end of Bear, near where the trail goes up to St. John's on the Lake chapel, the next stop was Gypsy Camp, which I think was just north of Cattle Landing, followed by Lovejoy Sands, Fairhaven, (on the Neck across from Loon) Loon Island, Pine, Bear Island post office, Beaver, Three Mile, Sandy, Cow, Birch, Jolly, Mark, the Weirs, and back to Lakeport. That's the morning trip. The afternoon run left out Gypsy Camp and Lovejoy Sands, but included Pearsall's Landing on East Bear, and Dollar Island.
