Alice Augusta Skolfield Whittier was born 24 January 1898. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1921; Yale University, M.D. degree, 1925; general internship at
Worcester Memorial Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts,
July 1925-1926; pediatric hospital work Presbyterian
Hospital, New York City; Children's Community Center,
New Haven, Connecticut; Children's Memorial Hospital,
Chicago; senior pediatrician Maine General Hospital,
Portland, Maine, and in private practice in Portland
from 1930; a member of the American Academy of
Pediatrics. In 1982 Dr. Whittier donated her Alice Augusta Skolfield Whittier grandfather Alfred's half, the south side, of the Skolfield house built by Master George Skolfield for his two sons on Brunswick's Park Row to the Pejepscot Historical Society with an annual endowment of
$10,000 during her lifetime. According to Dr. Charles Burden, a founder of the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, it is one of the few captain's homes of the 1850-1890
Victorian period in the entire world that has been kept intact right down to the paint and carpets. The only other one is in Finland. The historical society later purchased the north side (Captain Samuel's portion) the interior of which was significantly altered by former owners. This is the first time since the house was built that it has been under a single ownership. The following is an excerpt from the Brunswick, Maine, 4 May 1990 Times Record entitled, Dr. Whittier Gives Shoreland Woods To A Public Trust. "Alice Whittier, retired pediatrician, peripatetic seeker of knowledge and lover of life and wildflowers, has
made a gift of 11 acres of woodland at the edge of Maquoit Bay to the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust. The parcel is off Route 123, near the Brunswick-Harpswell town line. It's an area containing mostly tall white pine trees. The
trust has named the parcel The Captain Alfred Skolfield Nature Preserve for Whittier's grandfather, a 19th century sea captain from Brunswick." Dr. Whittier has been described as quick-witted, strong minded, a woman of patience and perseverance and a seeker of knowledge. She was the recipient of an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from Bowdoin College in 1978. She died 9 October 1994 in Portland, Maine.
