Joey:
The Gloucester Daily Times featured a story today (Wed) about the super blizzard 50 years ago. Text included: “But two years later, the bodies of two elderly women were found, still partially frozen, in their home in a remote section of Eastern Point. Police said they found signs that one victim had been chewed by a dog.” Shortly after, we were building our early year-round home as next-next door neighbor. Here is a photo of the former US Coast Guard station building the women lived in, which was a WWII observation station that triangulated with a similar station in Scituate to plot ship movements into Boston Harbor. The second photo shows the view through the horizontal slot window for the telescopic binoculars.

Good Morning Gloucester 
The paper got it wrong. It was 2 or 3 Months after the blizzard that the Marola (spelling?) ladies were found. Gloria Parsons

my husband grew up on E Point. He knew the ladies and a man also lived there. They kept to themselves.

middlestwalk is right. The women were a mother and daughter who lived there with the brother who took care of them and was apparently the only one who got out to get groceries, etc. The brother got sick and was in the hospital for a while. When the blizzard hit they were alone with no phone and literally starved/froze to death. They had a German Shepard who was locked in the house with them. Two months later when someone called the police to check on them the dog attacked them when they opened the door. The dog was shot but managed to get out. The poor dog was found a few days later. I can’t remember if he was dead or had to be put down. The three were loners. I remember years before, we kids were walking by on the rocks and the brother chased us away and walked with us all the way to Niles beach and warned us never to come back to Eastern Point!
