Description
The Stanislaus family was a family of Native Americans who lived in Lincoln in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Stephen Stanislaus was Governor of the Penobscot tribe for eight years. His wife, Sylvia, was a Passamaquoddy. They had one son who survived childhood, Francis. The picture shows the family home on Mattanawcook Island, behind the present-day mill, on the river. There was a small community of Native Americans who inhabited this island; there was even a school. The Stanislaus home burned to the ground on August 11, 1926. The family soon moved to mainland Lincoln.
