Rev. Dan McGilvary was born about 1830. He died in 1911 at the age of 81 in Chiang Mai. From the Chiang Mai Newsletter, by Dr. Ted Brown: "Dr. and Mrs. Daniel McGilvary are acknowledged to be the first Christian missionaries in Chiang Mai. McGilvary had arrived in Bangkok in 1858, where he met his bride, Sophia. She was the daughter of the pre-eminent Dan Beach Bradley, M.D., who had been practicing missionary medicine in Bangkok for over two decades at that point. McGilvary's father-in-law introduced him to Jao (prince) Kawilorot, the last absolute ruler of Chiang Mai. Kawilorot was on one of his regular visits to Bangkok to pay tribute to the King of Siam. Dr. McGilvary obtained an audience with Kawilorot and soon developed a friendship with him. The Prince invited Dr. McGilvary to "see the people of Laos," and opened the door for his missionary expedition to Chiang Mai.
In 1867, The McGilvary family, including 2 young children, traveled upriver, embarking from Nakorn Sawan by steamboat, continuing by canoes in the shallows and finally arriving by poleboat. The trip took thirteen weeks.
Upon arrival in Chiang Mai, there was no inn at which the McGilvary family could stay. Such enterprises did not then exist. Following custom, they took shelter under an open-air market sala. There, they used draped cloth to cordon off a section of the sala so as to afford a tiny degree of privacy. With minimal comforts, the McGilvarys remained there for two years, preaching Christian faith, as best they could. People were very curious to see this family of white people, to touch their skin and see them eat with knives and forks. However, little evangelical progress was made.
Later, McGilvary was allowed by the Prince to move to a site which is today the location of Chiang Mai First Church, adjacent to the Nawarat bridge. The Prince gave the land to the Presbyterian missionaries, as was his right. Nonetheless, it already had an owner who wasn't happy about having to summarily give up his land. As he was a neighbour, the mission decided it was best to pay him, but did so quietly so as not to get the attention of Kawilorot.
Dr. McGilvary had brought some medications along. Witnessing the great suffering from illness among the natives, he started dispensing medications from his home. He introduced lifesaving quinine to the North. Even fragments of a pill could have miraculous results. Dr. McGilvary lived in Chiang Mai for many years, visiting and preaching to the locals. He was known as "Pau Kru Luang," or "Great Father Teacher." He lived into his 80's, and died in Chiang Mai in 1911. McGilvary Theological Seminary, located on Doi Saket Kao Road, honours the evangelical work of Dr. and Mrs. McGilvary.
McGilvary was followed by other Presbyterian missionaries who were truly doctors, the first three being Dr. Vrooman, Dr. Cheek and Dr. Cary, in that order. Dr. Vrooman and Dr. Cary stayed only a few years. Dr. Cheek, who arrived in 1875, was the most colourful and tragic missionary doctor in Chiang Mai's history. Dr. McGilvary recruited Cheek from his home state of North Carolina and obviously had high hopes for him. The two became brothers-in-law when Dr. Cheek married one of Dr. Bradley's other daughters, Sarah Adorna."

Helen Kathleen McKelvey was born on 11 December 1901 in Davis, West Virginia. She died on 24 January 1996 at the age of 94 in Marshfield, Vermont. Helen grew up in Davis, West Virginia, Georgetown, South Carolina, and Northfield, Vermont. She was one of the first women to enroll in the College of Agriculture at the University of Vermont, and was the only woman in her class. Following graduation, she worked for a time for George Aiken at his nursery in Putney. She married her college classmate, Royce S. (Tim) Pitkin in Northfield in 1924, and that fall she became a teacher of English and mathematics at Lamoille Central Academy at Hyde Park, Vermont, where Tim was the principal. She also coached the girls basketball team there. Their daughter Jane was born during their second year at the school (1926), and for the following twenty years, much of Helen's time and energy was devoted to being a mother and housewife, particularly after the birth of twin sons in 1929. In addition to her responsibilities as a wife and mother, Helen was an energetic participant and partner in many of her husband’s professional activities. After Goddard was reorganized in Plainfield, Vt. in 1938, Helen served in many capacities on the staff and faculty of the college. She was variously the college librarian, health coordinator, student counselor, instructor, hostess, and emissary. She was also active in the Vermont Conference of Social Welfare, the Upper Winooski Valley Development Association (as chair of the Maple Sugar Festival), the Vermont Adult Education Association (as a board member), and the American Association of University Women. Helen's involvement in community affairs included the PTA, local theater productions, 4-H, church and school functions, Plainfield Home-Dem, and an unsuccessful campaign for the legislature in 1952. Tim and Helen were both supporters of the Universalist Church. As her children grew up, the family developed a potato raising enterprise on the Pitkin farm in Marshfield, which later expanded to include maple sugaring as well. Although much of the work was done by the children, Tim and Helen were both active participants in this effort. In 1969, when Tim stepped down after 31 years as president of Goddard, they built a house on the Pitkin farm and retired there. Helen became active in several senior citizens groups, including the Twin Valley Senior Center, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Helen indulged in a number of hobbies, including genealogy, gardening, and stamp collecting. After her husband’s death in 1986, she continued to travel for a few years, to Hawaii, Alaska, and often to Florida to visit her brother and sister. Helen remained in her home into her 94th year with the help of her family and friends, and only in her last year did she require professional assistance. She died at home of colon cancer. The following narrative was extracted from an interview with Helen by Linda Goldberg, which was subsequently published in Linda's book "Here on this Hill."

" I was fourteen when we came to Vermont, in 1915. during the "back-to-the-land" movement. The farm we were on was not what you'd call a good farm, and father was no farmer. All we did was cut the hay and raise potatoes and carrots. I changed my mind about what I was going to do in college because I thought our farm was located in an ideal place to have a s fruit farm. It would make a better income for all of us. I transferred from the College of Liberal Arts at the University Vermont to the College of Agricultural Science. I was the one girl in a class of twenty-two boys. In the summer, the crowd of us would arrange what we called a Victrola dance, where we'd take our own records and the Victrola. In winter, Mother would invite the snowshoe club up to our house. Now, our house was a little house, but there would be thirty, thirty- five people. We'd bring our own sandwiches, but Mother served baked beans and cocoa (we raised our own beans and we had our own milk). And she always had special table decorations. I remember one time she made a girl on snowshoes and a boy on skis on this absorbent-cotton hill in the center of the table. Mother was sort of an ageless person. She was very happy with older people, but she loved to have young people around. My mother was a happy individual. As I look back, she had no business to be happy many, many days. She had things to cope with that other women, I know, would not have coped with as my mother did. I always admired my mother because she enabled us to grow up so comfortably. I suppose without realizing it, I adopted her philosophy and adapted it to my own situation. Life was busier when the children were small. All my darning and hand sewing I did at night, so I was available for conversation if Tim wanted to talk. I was able to sit down in the evening and rest enough so that I didn't feel pressure that I know many young women say they feel. I am not patting myself on the back for this; it just was my good fortune not to feel encumbered. The other day a service-station man was pumping gas and said, "How are you?" And I said, "Well, I don't tell all to everybody, but," I said, "really, I have had a pretty good life." And he said, "Well, I'm glad to hear that. That's not true of everybody that stops here." "
