The town of Waterford is the oldest of this group of towns, located among the Oxford county hills, between the valleys of the Androscoggin and Saco rivers. In 1735 a grant of land was made to John Whitman and others, soldiers or heirs of soldiers who had fought in a company from Middlesex and Worcester counties under Capt. Andrew Gardner in the Canadian Expedition of 1690. This tract was the sixth in the line of towns granted to the Suncook proprietors, so called, and became known as Todds-town,or Number 6, now Henniker, N. H. When, in 1739, the King of England established the present boundary as the line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, this with many other grants were found to lie within the bounds of the lat- ter state which destroyed the validity of titles given by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Under date of Feb. 26, 1774 the proprietors of Todds-town, having lost all title to their lands and improvements, petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts for the grant of another township to replace their forfeited lands. This petition was signed by John Gardner, Stephen Maynard and Seth Rice, and resulted in the granting of a township seven miles square, "adjoin- 6 WATERFORD ing some former ^rant east of the Saco river." The propri- etors were to settle thirty families within six years, and to lay out oue-sixty-fourth part for the use of each the first settled minister, the grammar school, and Harvard College. Steps were immediately taken to lay out the township, an outline map of which was left with the Secretary of State in Boston the following May. Such was the origin of Waterford. In the survey an allowance of one rod in thirty was made tor sway of chain, and 2,500 acres for ponds. The lot and range lines were run the following summer by Jabez Brown of Stow, Mass. and Col. Joseph Frye of Pequawkett (Fryeburg), with eleven assistants, and the township was thrown open for settlement. SETTLEMENT AND ORGANIZATION. In the spring of 1775 David McWain of Bolton, Mass., started with a companion for the wilderness of Maine, they having purchased for $40 the lot of land on which he after- ward settled. His companion became discouraged at Dover, N. H., and sold his interest to McWain. Accompanied only by his dog, McWain was soon on his vvay, traveling by the way of Portland, Sebago Lake, and Long Lake, to Stevens Brook. At this little mill village he supplied himself with provisions for a month and started into the wilderness. He had a rude plan of this town with him. Following Bear Brook until he came to his range line he followed this until HISTORICAL 7 became to his lot (Range 5, Lot 10), and here he built a cabin near the river. He spent the winters of 1775 and 1776 in Bolton, returning again to his wilderness home in the spring of 1777 and never again revisited his native place. McWain had a true pioneers horror of being crowded. It is said that one morning as he stood on the huge rock which stood behind his cabin he spied smoke curl- ing up in the direction of Paris, some twelve miles away. "Humph," said he, "I would like to know who is settling- over there right under my nose." His farm was 800 acres in extent, and in 1803 he had 160 acres improved. He died in 1825 having never been married, leaving his valuable possessions to his nephew and namesake, on condition that he should live upon it. Five or six years after McWain settled here three men came in with their families, but were forced to withdraw to the older settlements to gain their subsistence. In 1783 Daniel Barker, Jonathan Robbins, Aseph Brown, America Hamlin, Africa Hamlin, and Europe Hamlin came to the south and south-west parts of the town, and two years later their families came in. Mr. McWain was of much service to these and other of the pioneers in Waterford during their days of poverty and struggling. Philip Hor and two of his sons came to settle in 1784. Mrs. Hor came in June, 1785 and lived in a hut made of hemlock bark for two years which were years of great privation. In 1785 and 1786, Nathaniel and John Chamberlain, Thaddeus Brown, Asa Johnson, John Atherton, Josiah Proctor, Eber Rich, Samuel Warren and Jonathan Barnard, 8 WATERFORD who afterward moved to Bridgton, all came in, but most of them came without their families. Soon after this, quite a colony from Rowley, Mass., followed the arrival hereof Lieut. Thomas Green, of that place, about 1788. Dea. Stephen Jewett and his sons, Nathan and Ebenezer, Moses Hobson, Jonathan, Samuel and Josiah Plummer, Joshua, Ezekiel, Samuel and Humphrey Saunders, and Daniel and David Chaplin probably came in 1788 or 1789. Some of these men had served under Lieut. Green in the French and Revolutionary Wars. The north part of Waterford was long called '"Rowley" for the native home of these settlers. Solomon Stone and Deacon Nurse arrived from Bolton in 1790. Up to this time all boards were hauled in from Stevens Brook and all corn was ground there or at Bethel Hill. With the erection of saw and grist mills, the former by Jacob Gibson, the latter by Ezra Jewell, the settlers were relieved of the long, arduous journeys over tlie rough roads taken often with the grist on the back of the pioneer. Dur- ing the following years, before the incorporation of the town, many new families arrived each year. Of these Eli Longley, Dr. Stephen Cummings, Ezra Jewell, who built the first frame house in town, and Stephen Jewett were leading men. Mr. Longley opened the first store at the Flat in 1801. Other families who were in town in 1795 are rep- resented by the signatures ol the men who signed the petition for the incorporation of Waterford. This petition, dated Dec. 19, 1795, at Waterford, pro- vided for the incorporation of the township leaving off the three eastern tiers of lots belonging to this grant, to be HISTORICAL 9 incorporated with Cummin^s' Purchase, now Norway.

A later petition sent the following October, bore the names of the following inhabitants and non-resident pro- prietors. John Nurse, Colman B. Watson, Thaddeus Brown, Wm, Brown, Ephraim Chamberlain, Marlboro Kingman, John Atherton, Daniel Barker, Jacob Gibson, John Holland, Oliver Hale, Abijah Brown, Abraham Conant, John Stevens, Stephen Sanderson, Reuben Whitney, Isaac Smith, Nat'l Chamberlain, David McEl wain, Joel Atherton, David Ham- mond, Abijah Swan, Jonathan Lougley, Africa Hamlin, Moses Stone, Aseph Brown, Jno. Bobbins, Phineas Whit- ney, Eli Longley, Silas Brown, Solomon Stone, James Chamberlain, Francis Gardner, Jotham Johnson, James Kendall, Jr. A third petition was sent to the General Court of Massa- chusetts during the autumn of 1796 signed by a few of the first petitioners and many living on the three tiers of lots above mentioned praying for the incorporation of the entire township, but the court decided otherwise and passed the 10 WATERFORD Act of Incorporation March 2, 1797, leaving off the three eastern tiers of lots. Prior to the erection of the town a plantation govern- ment had been maintained for several years, but ol their doings we have no records. No changes have been made in the bounds of Waterford since it became incorporated. It contains 31,775 acres, 1,734 of which are included in ponds. This water surface is divided among ten beautiful ponds which lie principally in the valleys at the foot of Beach hill. The meeting to organize the town was called by Eleazar Hamlin to assemble at the new house of Dr. Stephen Cum- mings on April 27, 1797. Lieu't Milbury Kingman acted as moderator, and Africa Hamlin was chosen clerk. Africa Hamlin, Daniel Chaplin and Solomon Stone were chosen selectmen and assessors; and David Whitcomb, constable and collector. Other necessary oflticers were then chosen but no treasurer seems to have been necessary, for none was chosen until June 7, when Eli Longley was selected for that oflQce. At this meeting $100 was voted for preaching, a like sum for schools, and $500 "to make and mend roads." TOWN OFFICIALS Clerks Since 1850, 1850-51, Edward Carleton; 1852-53, John C.

Besides possessing many valuable and productive farms, Waterford has many valuable mill privileges, several of which have been, and are still used for the operation of mill- ing industries. The earliest saw mill in Waterford was built by Jacob Gibson within a few rods of the outlet of Bear Brook. We will trace briefly the several mill sites that have been occupied on this stream, beginning at the foot of Tom pond. On the first site a saw mill was erected by Abram Whitney about 1810. Later owners have been Lewis Jewell, Thos. Hapgood, Cobb & Hapgood, and Hapgood & Wil- lard. The mill is now operated for making shook and apple barrels as well as long and short Inmber. On the second site a foundry was erected about 1847 by Miller & Cum- mings, who did an extensive business casting stoves, plows, etc. F, A. Hall later manufactured vinegar here; J. B. Haskell now succeeds him. Below this a plaster mill was built in 1848 by Josiah Monroe. This was later converted into a woodshop by Jas. 0. Longley. It was next made over into a tannery by E. Wilkins, and later sold to the 14 WATERFORD Waterford Mfg. Co. On the fourth site a saw and grist mill was built about 1790 by Ezra Jewell, This was the first grist mill in town. About 1870 Mr. Stanwood erected a bucket factory here and did a good business for some years. About 1890 he sold to the Waterford Mfg. Co., a corporation organized for manufacturing chairs and furniture. The factory was later burned, but soon after rebuilt. No work has been done here since about 1900. The next site has been occupied by a blacksmith shop, built in 1809, converted into a carriage shop in 1820; the site is now deserted. On the next privi- lege Isaac Smith erected a saw mill about 1795. In 1810 Josiah Farrar bought the site and built a carding mill in which he also made linseed oil from the flax seed raised in this vicinity. Geo. K. Hamlin afterwards built a saw-mill on this site. In 1866 W. W. Watson bought the mill and began the manufacture of salt-boxes, which were the first of that kind put on the market. These he continued to manu- facture here for about thirty j^ears, much of this time ship- ping an average of 2000 a year. When bags were substi- tuted for the wooden salt box he took up making toe-cock boxes which he has been shipping now for nineteen years, averaging 1000 a week much of the time. The seventh privilege was first used by Oliver Hapgood's carding mill erected about 1810. Daniel Brown, Wm. Morse, Zebedee Perry, E. W. Ayer and W. K. Hamlin have been successive owners. Wm. Monroe built a tannery on the next site about 1802. Josiah Atherton was his partner. Mr. Monroe was succeeded by his son Josiah, then another HISTORICAL 15 son, Merrick. F. A. Hall then purchased the property and fitted up a carriage shop, where he also made sleighs. C. L. Patten now repairs carriages here. The first saw mill at North Waterford was built about 1806 by Jonathan Longley and Samuel Page, who pur- chased the site of Major Samuel Warren. Mr. Page sold to James Russell and Gen. Sawin, who rebuilt the mill, adding a grist mill in the lower story. Other owners followed, among them Samuel Locke who rebuilt the mills. James Brown & Son bought of C. G. Knight in 1897. It is now operated by the son, Harry, in connection with the steam mill built about 1900. A fulling mill was built just below the saw mill, about 1820, by Nathaniel Jewett. After his death James Russell and a Mr. Perkins, of Conway, N. H. run it until it was abandoned. Orlando Coolidge and Josiah Atherton built a saw mill about a mile below the North Waterford mills, about 1833. Elliott & Bartlett's mill came into their possession in the spring of 1904, being bought of the heirs of Mr. Kilborn, a former operator. Dudley's mill, on Bear-Pond brook was built by Joseph Dudley about 1799. Nathan Whitney, Josiah Monroe, and the Harrison Water Power Co. have successively owned it. Pride's saw and grist mill at East Waterford was built by Jedediah Cailiff, about 1809. Nathaniel Pride succeeded Cailiff, and built a new grist mill farther down the stream. Many owners have operated this mill. Last year H. O. Rolfe bought of J. B. Haskell and is the present operator. The McWain saw and grist mill was built about 1830 by 16 WATERFORD David McWain, 2d. Sanderson's saw mill was built on Mutiny brook about five years later, by Joseph Sanderson, who sold to John Sanderson. J. B. Haskell built his dowell mill about 25 years ago. Last year he built a new steam mill on Crooked river. A shingle mill was built at Kezar Falls by John Walker, and afterwards owned by James Walker, both of Lovell. The saw mill at the outlet of Echo lake was owned by Josiah Monroe in 1875. Horace Proctor was the next owner, he sold to E. G. Emerson. The mill at Bisbeetown was owned and operated by D. B. Bisbee in 1875, this then passed into the hands of Walter Bisbee, C. G. Knight, Haskell & Kil^ore and Clark & Knight successively, the last named men having bought about two years ago. Other mills have been estab- lished, but the above are the principal ones of Waterford. CHURCH AFFAIRS. That which seemed to hold the closest attention of this God-fearing people during the early days of this settlement was the support of the church of God. But their opinion was divided as to where the town church should be located. A disinterested committee was chosen by men of both sides to choose the location of the house and the spot selected was on Davenport's hill. The house was not erected until four years later and then the location on Kingman hill was HISTORICAL 17 chosen as a compromise. The first appropriation made by the new town was f 100 for preaching. Rev. Lincoln Ripley of Concord, Mass., was hired during the summers of 1797 and 1798. On July 1, 1798 the town voted 52 to 17, to call Mr. Ripley, offering what was then a very liberal salary. He accepted the call and returned to Waterford, preaching most of the time until his installation, Oct. 1, 1799, at which time the church was organized. Meetings were held in Mr. Ripley's house or barn, as the season allowed, until the building of the meeting house. In 1800 the town decided to build at once. In 1801 the frame was erected and the walls covered, and at the March meet- ing that year a committee was chosen "to seat the meeting house." This house was a handsome structure for the times, costing about $3,000. For twenty-five years the church was maintained by general taxation. Mr. Ripley remained pastor until Nov. 7, 1821, when he was succeeded by Rev. John A. Douglass. During the later years of Mr. Ripley's pastorate, this church, as others in Maine, was disquieted and weakened by the introduction of other denominational preaching, and the subsequent formation of Baptist and Methodist churches. This society continued to occupy the old house on the hill until the present church edifice was erected at the Flat in 1837. The location at the Flat was the outcome of a struggle between the north and south parts of the town not unlike g2 18 WATERFORD that fought out forty years earlier, but the construction of the new valley road rendered the new location acceptable to the northern families for a time, since a majoritA^ of the members were in the growing- village of Waterford. Mr. Ripley survived his active ministry some thirty-five years. Rev. Mr. Douglass, his successor, held the pastorate nearly sixty years, which were years of uniformity and Christian growth in the church. The period was marked by revivals in 1822, 1831, 1840 and 1857. At one time the church numbered over 200 members. Rev. Wm. W. Dow, was stated supply two years follow- ing 1871. Rev. Andrew J. Smith, who was settled as col- league pastor in 1873, after successful labors, died in 1876. The parsonage was built during his pastorate. His suc- cessors in this pulpit have been Revs. Henry H. Osgood, from 1876 to 80; J. S. Richards, 1880-86; Chas. L. Skinner, 1887-93; Donald McCormick, 1894; C. P. Cleaves, 1896-98; and Truman S. Perry, who began his pastorate in May, 3 898. Rev. Mr, Perry has recently resigned, having advised the cooperation of the three religious societies in the south- ern part of the town in uniting and supporting one minister of the Gospel. This has been under serious consideration and it is believed, will result in reverting in a measure to the earlier custom of maintaining religious worship by a united community. NORTH WATERFORD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. The long distance to the meeting house at the Flat impelled the people of North Waterford, assisted by those of HISTORICAL 19 South Albany, to build a meeting house at the Corner vil- lage in 1862, which was done at a cost of about $2600. These were mostly Congregationlists. Irregular preaching was had until 1865, when the Second Congregational Church was organized with about fifty members, thirty-two of whom were dismissed from the old church. The ministers here have been Revs. Joseph Kyte, J. W. H. Baker, Welling- ton Newell, Edwin Sherburne, H. H. Osgood, J. S. Richards, Thos. Baedencoff, Joseph Garland, Donald McCormick, A. P. McDonald, Howard Gilpatrick, E. W. Pond, and the present pastor, Rev. Geo. P. Fuller, a native of Connecticut, who came to the church in May, 1905. Rev. Reuben Ball of Bridgton Center was instrumental informing a Baptist society in 1814, with 25 male members. Elder Josiah Houghton and Mighill Jewett preached a portion of the time. Quite a number of converts were added that year which was their period of greatest prosperity. No mention is found of the society after 1818. METHODIST CHURCH. Methodism was introduced into Waterford by missiona- ries of the faith in 1802. In 1806 this was part of the Poland circuit, and in 1810 the first class was formed, with Josiah Shaw, leader. In 1818 a small church was erected at Mutiny Corner, one mile west of Waterford City. A church was built on the present site in 1836, and the old house abandoned. In 1844 the new church was burned, but was rebuilt the following year. The early Methodist church wielded a powerful influence in Waterford : it was also 20 WATERFORD strongly opposed. Many strong men have filled the pulpit including Josiah Shaw, the first class leader, and his son, John. The succeeding pastors here since Rev. Delano Perry, who was appointed to this charge in 1874, remaining two years, have been Revs. Linwood Green, 1876-77; Walter S, Mclntire, 1878; N. D. Centre, 1879-81; J. H. Snow, 1882- 84; C. Abbott, 1885-86; J. Robinson, 1887-88; C.Purinton, 1889-91; W. H. Gowell, 1892-93; J. H. Bounds, 1894; Wm. Bragg, 1895-96; Geo. W. Barber, 1897-99; and J. B. Howard, 19U3. No regular pastor has been settled since Rev. Mr. Howard. The church has become so weakened by deaths and removals that its membership has become very small. It is now expecting to unite with the other societies in this part of the town in supporting religious services. UNI VERS ALIST CHURCH. This denomination is earliest mentioned in the town records in 1820, when eleven persons certified they were members of that order. According to the church records the Universalist society was formed Nov. 9, 1830, with about 50 members. Brown's Hall, was hired and occupied much of the time from 1832 to 1844. That year they built a church at a cost of |1100. In 1867 this house was sold to Messes. Josiah Monroe, John C.Gerry, Albert Stanwood and Chas. Young, the church reserving the right to occupy the hall, rent free, each Sunday. The lower part of the building- is used for a school room, the upper part for a public hall. No services were held for several years after the sale of the building. Rev. L. F. McKinney, of Bridgton, was the next HISTORICAL 21 regular pastor, serving- this church in connection with that at Bridgton Centre. Rev. 0. A. Rounds succeeded him from 1873 to 1876, after which services were again suspended. In 1897 Rev. H. A. Markley came to the church at Bridgton, reorganized the church at Waterford and services were again resumed. After three years Rev. H. A. Philbrook suc- ceeded to the pastorate, and in 1902 Rev. L. F. McKinney again came to the work. No regular services have been held since that year. This is one of the three societies about to unite in the maintenance of regular union services. SCHOOL ITEMS Before the incorporation of Waterford no schools were maintained by general taxation. Private schools were sometimes kept for a few weeks each year, but other needs seemed to these hardy pioneers more urgent than book instruction. When the town had been duly incorporated and attention given to hiring a preacher, a generous appro- priation of |100 was made for schools, to be laid out under the direction of the selectmen. Soon after this, on Aug. 21, 1797, Eli Longley, America Hamlin, Eber Rice, Eliphlet Watson and Samuel Warren were chosen a committee to district the town, and |80 was granted to build school houses in the several districts. These houses were not completed until 1800, when one 22 WATERFORD was erected in each of the six districts laid out. No house was erected at the Flat, the reason assio^ned being that the people there were already blessed with a dangerous number of privileges — a tavern, post-office, and a church. Eber Rice, Esq., and David Chaplin were the first school masters: Miss Eunice Stone and the daughter of Edward Barker were the first school mistresses. Esq. Rice was the legal adviser of the community for a quarter of a century, and town clerk for the first twenty years, except the first year. David Chaplin, known as "Master Chaplin" was a thorough scholar and a genius. Both were men of strong characteristics and taught successfully for many years. The pupils were early provided with either a "Preceptor" or a spelling book, as their advancement required ; while disci- pline was sometimes forcefully administered. By 1830 the six districts in town had doubled in num- ber. New houses were erected in the different districts about this time. Thirty or forty years later these houses were in turn replaced by larger and better ones, often erected at a much more convenient "corner." Today many of these have become abandoned because not enough scholars are found in the community to maintain a school. Districts which formerly showed an attendance of sixty pupils are now unable to produce an even dozen to attend the common school. But the standard of scholarship has not retreated. The few weeks of discipline and instruction from the speller have been superseded by regular courses in many useful branches and the opportunity is now offered to every boy and girl to obtain a useful and thorough education. HISTOKICAL 23 MILITARY MATTERS. At the time of the breakinpi; out of the Revolutionary War no axe had made a clearing, and no hut had been erected within the present bounds of the town of Waterford. Near the close of the war, and for a few succeeding years many of the men who had lost nearly all their estates in the service sought to make for themselves and their families new homes where they were to be had at the expense of little but hard labor, which was their sole capital. Of these men man}' settled in Waterford. In fact most of the men who arrived here previous to J 790 had served in the American forces. The following is a list of these men, as given in Warren's historical address. John Atherton, Joel Ather- ton, Daniel Barker, Africa Hamlin, Quartermaster; Israel Hale, John Jewell, Joseph Kimball, and Phiueas Whitney served throughout the war. Jabez Brown was a lieutenant in the French and Adjutant in the Revolutionary War. Lieut. Thomas Green was an officer in the French war and served throughout the Burgoyne campaign. David, and Daniel Chaplin, Oliver Hale, Jona. Houghton, Asa Johnson, Jona. Longley, all served in the Burgoyne campaign. Sam- uel Jewell and Judah Weatherbee served at Bunker Hill. Josiah Proctor was in the Navy; Asaph Brown, Thaddeus Brown, Ephraim Chamberlain, America Hamlin, Benj. Hale, Eli Longley, Eliphalet Morse, Eber Rice, David Stone, Stephen Sanderson and Abram Whitney, each performed active service for the redemption of their country. 24 WATERFORD During the War ol 1812 two calls were made upon Waterford for troops; the first in 1812, the second in 1814. In response to the first call sixteen men were drafted from each company of militia, of which there were two. These men stood as minute-men for a year but never left the vicin- ity. In 3 814, 38 men were drafted and went to Portland where they were mustered with the soldiers from Albany and West Bethel, with whom they made up a company. Their oflicers were Joseph Holt, Albany, captain ; Aaron Cum- mings, Albany, lieutenant; Eleazer Twitchell, Bethel, ensign. These men were never called to face the enemy, but after several weeks of camp life during which they were kept busy building intrenchments at Fish Point they returned home. SOLDIERS OF THE CIVIL WAR. Of the men of Waterford who took up arms f 3r the sup- pression of the southern rebellion we can only give their names here. Thirty of these died of wounds or disease con- tracted in the service, and four in confederate prisons. The service performed by these men was nobly and heroically given. Infantry: Augustus E.

Eber Rice, Esq., was legal adviser for many years before the arrival of a professional lawyer. Henry Farwell was the first lawyer at the Flat:— He came here about 1806, 26 WATERFOED later removed to Dixfield. Edward Andrews followed him in practice here. He became a minister and went to New York. Chas. Whitman, a native of Portland, commenced practice here in 1817. After practicing in Waterford for twenty years he was appointed department clerk at Wash- ington. Mr. Whitman was a valuable citizen and took great pride in the town. Elijah L. Hamlin, a native of Paris, was contemporary with Mr. Whitman. After a short time he removed to Bangor where he became identified with the growth of that city, was several times mayor, and was once a Whig candidate for governor of the State. Geo. F. Emery followed Mr. Wliitman. He later became clerk of the U. S. District Court, then was connected with the Boston Post. Elbridge Gerry, son of Peter Gerry, was born in Waterford, and commenced practice about 1835. He rose rapidly, becoming a member of Congress from this Dis- trict. M. B. Bartlett succeeded him in practice. Josiah S. Hobbs practiced in North Waterford and Waterford Flat, became state librarian. James L. Haskell practiced here a short time, and died of consumption. Thos. J. Bridgham of Buckfield practiced here a short time, then returned to Buckfield where he still resides. A. S. Kimball, a native of Waterford, was the next to locate here. In 1883 Mr. Kim- ball removed to Norway' and was succeeded here by S. S. Stearns. Three years later he removed to Norway, leaving Waterford without a resident member of the bar. Nathan- iel Howe removed to Waterford City from North Bridgton early in the last century and remained in successful practice, an honored and respected citizen, until his death. HISTORICAL 27 PHYSICIANS. The first physician in Waterford was Dr. Stephen Cum- mings who arrived in town about 1795 and was a leading citizen here until his removal to Portland in 1800. Dr. Samuel Crombie followed. Dr. Luke Lincoln was the next practitioner, both of the last coming here from New Boston, N. H, Drs. Chas. Hay and Cushi Hathaway seem to have been next in order. Dr. Abner Johnson, whose famous "Anodyne Liniment" has become a household word, prac- ticed here several years before removing to Brewer. Dr. Young Walker was next. Dr. Leander Gage came from Bethel in 1817 and was for many years one of the most prominent and influential citizens. He practiced here until his death in 1846. Drs. John French, Lewis W. Houghton, Seth C. Hunkins, who succeeded Dr. Houghton, and Drs. Millett, Fessenden and Bradbury were all in practice here for a longer or shorter time. Dr. S. L. Weston, from Otis- field. Dr. Chas. L. Wilson, a native of Newfield and a lead- ing physician here for many years; Dr. Prescott, hydro- pathic; Dr. Goodenow, Thomsoniau ; and Dr. Shattuck,long at the head of the Hygienic Institute, all have located here for practice. Dr. Wilson practiced until his death, in 1892, soon after which Francis S. Packard succeeded him in prac- tice. Seven years later he was succeeded b3^ A. B. Libby. In 1902 Dr. Libby was followed by Dr. W. Coburn who died the following September. In December, that year Dr. A. J. Stimpson located here and has acquired a good practice. Drs. Gordon, Osgood, aud J. B. Eastman each located at North Waterford before the village sprung up. The first 28 WATERFORD physician who settled in the village was Dr. W. W. Greene. He was followed successively by Dr. E. B. Pike, Dr. Peables and Dr. N. D. Faunce. BEAR MOUNTAIN GRANGE, NO. 62. This society of the Patrons of Husbandry was organ- ized at South Waterford the 28th of November, 1874, with nineteen male and ten female members. Benj. Tucker, Jr., became the first Master, with Geo. A. Hall, Overseer. Many new candidates were received from year to year and the society has greatly increased in strength of numbers and influence. The Master's 3hair has been tilled consecutively by the following members: Benj. Tucker, Jr., D. P. Bisbee, Geo. A. Hall, Bobbins Plummer, Geo. A. Hall, Jas. M. Shaw, A. M. Horr, S. S. Hersey, K. Plummer, C. S. Hamlin, H. W. Green, W.K.Hamlin, W. A. Hersey, W.K.Hamlin, C. S. Hamlin, M. Monroe, and Willard W. Abbott. Other prin- cipal officers for 1906 are F. Hapgood, overseer, M. Monroe, lecturer, L. J. Saunders, steward, Frank Stearns, chaplain, and C. J. Hamlin, secretary. WATERFORD LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. In the year 1850 a Ladies' Sewing Circle was organized at South W^aterford, one-half of their earnings to be used in establishing and maintaining a local library. The first HISTORICAL 29 books were purchased in 1852, a nucleus of twenty-one vol- umes. These were kept in the home of some member of the circle, as was the custom until 1871, when the library was removed to its present quarters in Mr. A. A. Knip^ht's store. Miss Sade W. Knight became librarian at that time and has since remained in care of the work. In 1900 the association was legally incorporated with a membership of twenty, thir- teen of whom were admitted at that time. The number of volumes has steadily increased by purchase or gifts, until there are now 1600 books. Forty or fifty volumes are add- ed each year by purchase. Histonv of Jllbanv. OXFORD PROPRIETARY. The earliest date we find relating to the history of Al- bany is Dec. 29, 1788 which date is borne by an instrument drawn up at Andover, Mass., and signed by twenty-four men each binding himself to the purchase of a tract of land lying between Sudbury, Canada and Waterford. Over two years passed before these men were given the deed to the coveted tract. It was probably during this time that the tract was surveyed by Samuel Titcomb and classified as "Township Number Five." The deed is dated Feb. 18, 1791, the sum paid for the land, as specified therein, was "826£ 5s in the consolidated notes of this Commonwealth, and 208£ 10s 6d in currency." The deed bears the signatures of the commit- tee appointed by the General Court of Massachusetts for the sale of Eastern lands and shows the tollowing men to have become the first individual owners of the land now consti- tuting the town of Albany : Joseph Holt and John Russell, gentlemen, Isaac Blunt, hatter, Asa Cummings, Stephen Cummiugs, millwright, James Holt, Jr., Jonathan Abbott, F. and Nathan Abbott, Jr., Joseph Lovejoy, Jacob J ones, Nathaniel Fay, Wm. Chandler Jr., Nehemiah Holt two shares, Uriah Russell, Benj. Goldsmith, and Samuel Cogswell, yeo- HISTORICAL 31 men, all of Andover; Johnson Proctor and John Lambert, yeomen, of Danvers; John Jaquith, Jr., Samuel Boutell and Jude Jones, yeomen, of Wilmington; and Daniel Lovejoy, Jr., of Wilton, N. H. The township contained, (and its boundaries are substantially the same today), about 23,- 000 acres. Each proprietor had a right to one-twenty-third of the grant, except that four lots of 320 acres each were reserved for public purposes, viz: one lot for the first settled minister, one for the use of the ministry, one for the use of schools, and one for the future appropriation of the General Court. Littletime was lost by delinquency of the proprietors, for they saw in the new township either the possibility of found- ing a new home in a new country, or the realization of acon- siderable sum from the sale of lots to settlers. W^e find that many of these men settled their own lots and became lead- ing men in the community; whether the non-resident pro- prietors actually gained much wealth from the deal it would be gratifying to know. Most of the proprietors' meetings were held at Isaac Bluet's tavern in Andover, where the first one was assembled on Jaly 25, following the signing of the deed. Mr. Chandler became clerk, Joseph Holt was selected to handle the funds, and Asa Cummings, Nathan Abbott, Jr. and Lieut. John Russell were chosen assessors. We learn that five men, in- cluding Lieut. Joseph Holt, had visited the place the previ- ous autumn, and had agreed to take up lots in the grant. At a meeing held Feb. 3, 1792, a committee was chosen to lot the town into twenty-four parts, and "to qualify the 32 ALBANY town." The same year the name Oxford was adopted for the township. In December a move was taken towards the erection of a saw mill, which would be of great aid to the settlers. It was agreed to give Benj. Proctor a gore of land lying in Range 11, if he would erect "a good saw mill in the town of Oxford in one year, and maintain it teen years"; also if he should build a corn mill and operate it the same length of time, he should have a gore in Range 10. In 1799 he was given a piece of land for keeping the mill in good repair, showing at least one of the mills to have been erected in 1793; this was built at Lynches Mills. In Jan. 1794, Stephen Cummings was chosen proprietors' clerk. The proprietors showed much diligence in improving the roads and offering greater inducements to settlers. Some came in from the earlier settlements where they began to feel crowded. In 1797 ten dollars was voted, and Nathan and Jonathan Abbott, Jr., were chosen a committee to pur- chase books for a library After the organization of the plantation in 1802, part of the government of the township was shared by the settlers. The proprietors had builded well and had founded aflourish- ing settlement which was fast increasing in numbers and prosperity. Gradually they disposed of their lands until the organization of a proprietary became no longer neces- sary. The last recorded meeting was held in March, 1815. The proprietors did much for the town, seeking rather to make of Albany a thriving community than to gratify any desire for wealth. HISTORICAL 33 EARLY SETTLEMENT. Who was the first white man to visit the lands now con- tained in the town of Albany, it is impossible to say. A set- tlement was begun in Waterford in 1775, and in Bethel two years earlier. This locality was doubtless explored soon after. Warren's History of Waterford gives the date of the settlement of Albany, then ungranted, as 1784, but this settlement may not have been permanent as a much later date is usually given. The proprietors received their grant in 1791, having waited more than two years during which time it is probable that some settlement was begun, certain it is that it was settled very soon after. Most of the set- tlers were natives of Andover, the home of many of the pro- prietors. Many of the proprietors settled their own lots, and it is supposed that a number of these men came here to make clearings as early as 1792. To Abner Holt is accorded the felling of the first tree for a settlement. John Foster, Abner Holt, a Mr. Chamberlain and Jacob Chandler came in the early spring, (year uncertain), from their homes in Andover. Coming to McWain's opening, in Waterford, they made their way to the vicinity of No. Waterford, thence up Crooked river some three miles, where they turned to the east and climbed the hill. They made camp on the hillside which was afterwards the Stephen Cummings farm, now owned by F. E. Bean. Here it was that Mr. Holt felled a spruce to get the boughs for a bed. Mr. Foster was a land surveyor and during the summer devoted much of his time to surveying the township. In the fall these men returned 34 ALBANY to Massachusetts and the following spring returned here with their families, together with other settlers. Abner Holt's lot line ran but a few rods from where he had cut the first tree, the farm on which he settled being that now occu- pied by W. AV. Bird. Mr. Chamberlain erected his cabin on lot 11, range 5, now the late John Cummings farm. Mr. Chandler settled a few rods east of Chamberlain on the late John Cummings place. Dea. Asa Cummings came from No. Andover with a party of settlers in 1798, settling on the farm now occupied by his grandson, Geo. C. He reared a family of fourteen sons and daughters and has been followed by numerous and honorable descendants, many remaining in Albany, and others taking prominent positions in other places, many have become prominent members of the Con- gregational, and other clergy. Abner Abbott settled where his great grandson, Frank Abbott now lives. The earliest burying ground was a family yard on the Stephen Cum- mings farm, near the first clearing. A stone found there bears the name of a 3'oung settler by the name of Jones who died in 1797 at the age of 26. In 1800 the population of Oxford plantation numbered sixty-nine. The following "Rate List" shows the names of the tax- payers in Oxford in 1802 and includes the names of such families as had become permanent settlers in town at that time. A Rate List committed to James Russell to collect for the Plantation of Oxford, 1802, showing the amount of tax assessed on real and personal property. HISTORICAL 35 Tax. Tax. Name. Pers. Prop.

Sweat. 04 05 05 07 04 13 06 08 04 05 — 07 ORGANIZATION AND INCORPORATION. Oxford plantation was organized under plantation gov- ernment in what must have been the only school house, 36 ALBANY Sept. 27, 1802, Asa Cumminge, who was the leading; man in the settlement, was made moderator, and Uriah Holt plantation clerk. These two men, with Abner Holt were chosen assessors, and Stephen Holt treasnrer. James Rus- sell bid off the collection of taxes at 13%. At the second meeting-, Dec, 28, 1802, it was decided to petition the Gen- eral Court for incorporation, aisd Asa Cummings, Capt. Bani Haskell and Jonathan Holt were chosen a committee to draw up the petition; Mr. Cunimino^s being delegated to present it to Judge Frye. There seems to have been much difficulty in choosing a name for the new town. The peti- tion was first for thii name the township had borne since 1792, and was presented in Jan. 1803, early in the year the voters decided on the name "Montgreen." In May follow- ing, another vote was taken on a name, and Albany was chosen. Ho.d not the legislature passed the act before another meeting it is impossible to say what name this town might have borne. The final meeting of the plantation of Oxford was held May 13, 1803, the first of the town of Albany, on Sept. 19, the same year. The town became fully organized on the latter date, taking her place among the corporate bodies of the District of Maine, the 144th town in the District and one of twenty-one incorporated that year.

Proctor to erect a saw mill, about 1793, and a grist mill the same year, or soon alter. These mills, located near the southern border of the township, were owned and operated by Mr. Proctor until sold to Daniel Brown about 1830, together with about 2500 acres of valuable timber land. Soon after this they passed into the hands of Jas. Osgood, of Fryeburg, who built new mills and manufactured more extensively, sending some lumber to Portland by the canal. About 1840 Moses Petty became owner and proprietor. Ten years later he sold to John Lynch who did an extensive business in manufacturing lumber, and at one time had a match factory and a box factory. After carrying on an extensive business for many years he assigned and the mills went to Samuel Spring. In 1890 his heirs sold to Clark & HISTORICAL 41 Burnham, and soon after Mr. Clark sold his interest to his partner, L. H. Burnham, the present operator. The large spool mill at Lynchville was erected in 1871 by Elliott, Bartlett & Lynch. Soon Mr. Lynch sold his interest to Elliott & Bartlett who have continued to carry on an enterprising and successful business for thirty-five years. Around 700,000 feet of spool stock is consumed annually, thirty men being employed at the mill. The entire product of number 1 spools is shipped to the Coats Thread Co. What is known as the Petty mill, in the northern part of the town, was built early in the last century, and was owned by Jeremiah Niles in 1825. John W. Dana bought it soon after, and about 1830 sold to Moses Petty, who oper- ated it for half a century. Later owners have been A. S. Bean, Herrick & Kilburn, of Bethel, and F. L. Edwards, the present owner. N. Moore & Co.'s mill, better known as the Grover mill, was built by Francis Cummings about 3 840. Later owners have been Aberuethy Grover, Wilbur Bros., Eliphalet Burbank (who rebuilt it about 1880 after being burned,) Stephen S. Libby, and N. Moore & Co. A grist mill was connected with the mill until it was burned. An early mill was built on the site of Fernald's mill early in the century. Chesley Fernald and Parker N. Flint built the present mill about 1875. A saw and grist mill was built about 1814 on Swett Brook by John Lovejoy. This was washed out after which a clover mill was built. In 1871 this was destroyed in the san)e manner. In 1875 a steam mill was built just above this site by James McAllister; this 42 ALBANY was burned a few years later. Other mills, on sites now vacant, were: one on the out- let to Round Pond, built about 1835; one at the outlet to Kneeland Pond below the Albany Basins built by Cyrus Kueeland probably to replace the above. This was burned about 1873 and Mr. Kneeland built a steam mill on the shore of the pond, and one built by Andrew Bean in 1859 on Bean Brook. S. W. Libby built the mill in No. Albany about 1875. He later sold to Wm, Mason. In the early days agriculture was perhaps the chief industry. The soil is fertile and productive, but uneven and generally hard to work except in the valleys. There are many good farms now under cultivation while many of those cleared one hundred years ago have been allowed to return to woodlands. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. The first and only religious organization ever effected in Albany was made very soon after the incorporation of the town. With the assistance of Rev. Joseph Strong of the N. H. Missionary Society, twenty-two residents formed an organization Sept. 15, 1803, which they named "the Church of Christ in Albany." Asa Cummings was chosen clerk and first deacon. Jonathan Holt was chosen second deacon. The next year the church received from the church at HISTORICAL 43 Andover the gift of a flagon, tankards, and linen for a com- munion service. No settled pastor was employed for sev- eral years, and the early records of the society are rather meagre. In June 1818, Asa Cummings, Jr., was dismissed to the church connected with the theological seminary, Andover, Mass. He it was who became the founder and edi- tor of the Christian Mirror. The church was supplied occasionally by missionaries of theN. H. Missionary Societj^; and also by Eevs. Church of Bridgtou, Ripley of Waterford, Button of No. Yarmouth, and Cressey of Norway. In 1823 Rev. Henry A. Merrill; in 1824 Timothy Hilliard ; and in 1826 Joseph Walker were with the church. Sermons were sometimes read by the dea- cons or leaders when no preacher could be had, and the soci- ety continued to thrive and prosper. On Feb. 1, 1828 the church extended a call to Rev. Thomas Ayer to become its installed pastor. This call he accepted, Mar. 4, and on the 25th a council was convened which ordained him, the first settled pastor in Albany. After a successful pastorate of five years he was dismissed by mutual consent and supplies were again had until Rev. Geo. F. Tewksbury was installed Jan. 31, 1838. The pas- torate of Mr. Tewksbury lasted for fourteen years, which were fruitful 3'ears to the church. During the first three years twenty-eight were received into membership. He was also a stanch advocate of temperance. In the record of Mr. Tewksbury's ordination is found the first mention of the meeting house and its use. The early services had been held in a house which served for all public gatherings including 44 ALBANY the school. A meeting house seems to have beeu erected about 1831 on a height of land toward North Waterford from Hunt's Corner. Mr. Tewksbury's pastorate lasted over fourteen years during which time forty-five members were added to the church. Rev. Isaac Weston preached a few mouths during the summer of 1853, and Rev. Lorraine Read from April 1854 to Sept. 1855. On July 6, 1856, began the pastorate of Rev. Samuel L. Gould, which also covered a period of fourteen years. Mr. Gould was beloved as a pastor and esteemed as a citizen. Since his dismissal the church has been regularly supplied during the summer months, mostly by students. Rev. E. J. Converse supplied from May 1896, to the autumn of 1897, and greatly strengthened the church. The latter year the church was incorporated for the transaction of business. The meeting house was removed to Hunt's Corner, to the present site, rebuilt, and greatly improved, at a cost ol about f 2000. It was rededicated in June 1878, a neat and convenient house of worship. W. J. Hail was the supply during 1902 and 03 and Carl Thompson, of Yale Divinity School, during 1904 and 05. A Sunday school is sustained, and a Young Peo- ple's Society of Christian Endeavor, organized in 1889, has done much to sustain public worship. SCHOOLS. AVe have very good proof that a public school was main- tained in Number Four prior to the organization of the HISTORICAL 45 Plantation of Oxford, in the statement that the meeting organizino; that body was called in the school house. This was located on a road (now discontinued) leading from the Haskell place to the Valley road and was a low, log structure. Later a house occupied for town purposes, schools and religious services, was erected on the right hand side of the road from Hunt's Corner to the Haskell place. We do not find that any sura of money was raised for education by the voters in the plantation, but a vote taken in Jan., 1803, was made to petition the General Court to remit the state tax of the plantation and "to order the same to be laid out in educating the youth in said Oxford." Soon after, a school committee w^as chosen. At the town meeting held in November, after the incorporation, Asa Cummings, Uriah Holt, Lieut. Stephen Holt, Ephraim Flint, and James Russell were chosen a committee to rebuild the school house. The house then constructed was doubtless that afterwards used for tow^n purposes and religious wor- ship. We find record of much lumber being furnished for it by various citizens, in fact most if not all of the voters had a part in its construction, and it was doubtless the pride of the settlement when completed. The first appropriation we find recorded w^as made in Feb., 1804, when ten dollars was voted "to be laid out in a summer school to be taught by a Mrs. & $20 for a winter school to be taught by a master." Among the early teach- ers were Anna Bean, Uriah Holt, Esq., Sarah Holt, Lydia Swift (of No. Norway), El)en Hutchinson, Esq.. Samuel Has- kell, Dea. J. H. Lovejoy and Hepsibah Gould, who became 46 ALBANY the wife of Dea. Lovejoj. As the settlement increased in population and prosperity the amount of the annual appro- priation was increased. In 1825, Albany had four school districts, 126 scholars between the ages of four and twenty- one, 84 of whom attended school, f 120 was then raised for the cause of education; the population of the township was 307. Five years later the population was 387, and in 1840, 691. We do not need to trace the later development of the schools. New destricts were established or discontinued as the settlement or desertion of different neighborhoods called for. The house now standing at Hunt's Corner was erected about 1840, rebuilt and remodeled in 1885. SOLDIERS OF THE CIVIL WAR.

Tlie Grange Hall, located at Hunt's Corner, was purchased by the society in 1884. Here a store is condu(;ted, now under the care of James Flint. The following is the list of men who have occupied the Master's chair: Herman Cummings, Geo. W. Beckler, Justis Aspinwall, James Flint, Gilbert Wardwell, James Kimball, Isaac Wardwell. Geo.

Cummings, steward; Geo. Cummings, treas.; Ella CummiDgs,lect. and A. E. Cummings, sec. The society now numbers fifty-one members. The Albany public library was organized about 1870, at Hunt's Corner. Mrs. J. H. Lovejo^^ became the first librarian. It has been successively under the care of Amos G. Bean, Hattie C. Wilbur, and Mrs. Nancy C. Andrews who now has it at her home. There are around 2250 volumes which number is increased as time and lunds permit. Hunt's Corner tavern was opened about 1805, to ac- commodate travelers over the new stage line from Portland to Bethel. It was built by one Holt who was succeeded in 1818 by Timothj'' Hutchinson. Two 3 ears later he was fol- lowed by Reuben Beard who remained four years when he sold to John Hunt for whom the place w^as named. He be- came well known throughout this part of the state as the genial proprietor until the year 1870 when he sold to A. S. Cole, the present owner. About 1825 a T'^. S. mail route was established running through the Albany Basins from North Waterford to West Bethel, on the way to Lancaster, N. H. On a certain trip the driver came near freezing and soon the old route by Hunt's Corner was resumed. A local telephone has been recently installed in Albany by a local company incorporated as the Albany Telegraph and Telephone Company. Mistofty of QfteeniDOod EARLY SETTLEMENT The town of Greenwood, formerly Number Four, is made up of three separate grants. The surface is broken by many mountains and lakes, which give to it a certain picturepque- ness, but which is not altogether to the advantage of those in the pursuit of agriculture. There are, however, many valuable farms in town, the soil is fertile, and is much culti- vated lor hay and potatoes. The first grant of lands within the present bounds of Greenwood was made to James Mosher, John Haskell and John Akers, by act of the General Court ot Massachusetts, passed June 24, 1795. This consisted of 1,000 acres, laid out by Lothrop Lewis, on the head lines of Cummings' Gore and Lee's Grant. A plan of this tract, dated Jan. 18, 1796, was returned to the Secretary's office by Mr. Lewis. The second grant, consisting of one-half township, 11, 520 acres, was made Feb. 27, 1797, to the trustees of f^hil- lips Academy, the same to be laid out or assigned in some of the unappropriated lands in the district of Maine. Mr. Lewis laid out the half-township on the northern border of Haskell's Grant, which he had surveyed four years earlier, and the transfer was made to the trustees March 19, 1800. g4 50 GREENWOOD The third was granted to Eleazer Twitcbell and others, Feb. 1, 1805, they having filed a petition for the grant as soon as the above grant was made. This tract containd 9,000 acres and now comprises the northern section of this town. The first man to make a home within this town was William Yates (or Yeats), who settled on Patch Mountain, in 1800. He was born in Scotland in 1772, came to Boston, thence to New Gloucester, where he married Martha Mor- gan. Later he removed to Norway, where his three oldest children were born. The first house on Patch Mountain was a rude log cabin, w^hich served as a home for this family un- til a frame house was erected a few years later. This was the first Irame house in Greenwood. His fourth child was born Feb. 4, 1801, in Greenwood. Mr. Y^ates was a farmer and a Methodist preacher. Here he lived for 68 years. Timothy Patch, for whom the mountain received its name, was probably the next to make a clearing and to bring a family to the place. We learn that there were 13 families here in 1805, mostly in the southern half of the town. Doubtless Simeon Sanborn, who built the first mills at what became known as Greenwood City, was here at that time, and his mills became early the center of business and social life. Thos. Furlong's clearing was north of the mills, and was probably made before the mills were built. Anjos Richardson settled between Furlong and the mill. But Patch Mountain became the first center, and here was built the first school house in town. Frederick Coburn, Israel Herrick, Dustin Patch, Isaac Patch, and others, were lo- HISTORICAL 51 cated here early. Paul Wentworth located in the western part of the town, and Noah Tobey near by. John Small, an educated man, was an early resident on the Haskell ^rant. Capt. Isaac Flint lived near Greenwood City. Jonas Stevens took up the lot now occupied by Isaac P. Noyes. Christopher and Solomon Bryant, Jr., removed from Wood- stock to the vicinity, later known as the Bryant neighbor- hood. Eleazer Cole and his sons, Calvin and Cyprien, were among the earliest settlers. This family has contributed largely to the prosperity of the town. Others of the early families here were James Nutting, Jonathan Gurney, Ste- phen Sanborn, Consider Cole (near Bryant's Pond), Chas. Young, (on Young Hill), James French, Wm.Cordwell, Jere- miah Noble, Luther Cole, Capt. John Noyes, (on Haskell's grant), Isaac Howe, (on Howe Hill), Bela Noyes, Jesse Cross, Geo. Berry, John Small, Jnnies Packard, Israel B. Fifield, Hatevil Hall, Amos Young, Wm. Noyes, Francis Beckley, and others. ORGANIZATION AND INCORPORATION. The residents of Number Four were called to assemble at the house of Simeon Sanborn on May 8th, 1813, for the purpose oforganiziug a plantation government. Mr. San- born was made moderator of the assembly and Paul Went- worth was chosen clerk. The board of assessors chosen was 52 GREENWOOD Noah Tobey, Simeon Sanborn, and John Small. Dustin Patch was made collector, and Isaac Flint was chosen treasurer. The next meeting was held in June, when |600 was voted to make and repair highways ; $50 for the support of schools and |75 to defray the expenses of the plantation. Four new roads were soon laid out by the assessors which were accepted by vote in plantation meeting in October. A bridge at Sanborn's njills was built by Paul Wentworth dur- ing the fall. Many improvements were made. These hardy pioneers had little but the bai-e necessities, but they were willing to work for what they were unable to pay. Each season brought in new families, and the second annual election of officers shows some new names. The plantation seems to have reached considerable activity before any effort was made to become incorporated. The last recorded meeting of the plantation was held Sept. 21, 1815, but no mention is made of petitiouiiig for incorpora- tion. Neither is the act of incorporation recorded in the town records. Greenwood was incorporated the 213th town in Maine, Feb. 2, 181G, and aside from added privileges and duties, went on much as before. The meeting at which the town was organized was held in the school house. Mar. 28, 1816, and the following officers chosen: Noah Tobey, moderator; Paul Wentworth, clerk; John Small, Capt. Isaac Flint, and Jere. Noble, selectmen and assessors; Frederick Coburn, treas.; and James French, collector and constable. Sixteen others were chosen to fill minor town offices.

The manufacturing of lumber and spools has been one of the leading industries of the town of Greenwood since railroad facilities have been opened for shipping the pro- duct, and in fact for many years previous. At Mr. San- born's mill which must have been built as early as 1805, 56 GREENWOOD were sawed the boards and shingles for most of the early houses built in the town, and here was ground the corn raised by the pioneers on their clearings. Around this mill sprung up the trading center for many years known as Greenwood City. Indeed, this name is yet used notwith- standing the place was almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1858, and has never been rebuilt. The mill was run for many years by Mr. Sanborn after which he sold to Amos Richardson. Later owners were Loren Roberts, John Fos- ter and one Mr. Tuell, who was operating here when it was burned. The dam has been washed out, and the old site remains unoccupied except for a portable mill built by E. L. Tebbets & Co. not long since, which is temporarily located here. The second mill built in Greenwood was that built by Samuel Locke, Sr., of Bethel. Mr. Locke was an enterpris- ing business man and did an extensive business. The first house erected at Locke's Mills Mas a " block house" built of hewn timber which was for many years occupied b}^ Samuel Stevens, the miller. Mr. Stevens was killed at the mill when trying to clear the old tub wheel of ice. James Yates w as the next miller, Albion Cole followed him. The second dwel- ling at the Mills was considered a magnificent structure when built. It was built by standing plank on end and was two stories in the rear. Samuel Locke, Jr., removed from Bethel to this house in 1838 or '39 and it remained his home until he moved to West Paris in 1857 or '58. Mr. Locke erected several houses on his lands surrounding the mills, owning moat of the property here until he sold to Moses HISTORICAL 57 Houghton near the time of his removal to West Paris, Together with the lumber and grist mills, Mr, Locke erected a large woolen mill which was occupied by a company man- ufacturing woolen goods for several jears. This building- was then leased to Russell & Russell, of Bethel, who made furniture extensively for about six years. Just before the Civil war Lyman Russell, one of the brothers, removed the business to Walker's mills. Most, if not all the milling property at Locke's Mills, together with many of the homes, passed into the hands of J. R. Bassett, about 1868. Mr. Bassett had large plans for the future of the place, based on a new machine for the man- ufacture of excelsior. He made many improvements in the water power, laid out new house lots and a park, and installed the new machinery in the building formerly used as a furniture factory. But the machinery did not prove all that was hoped for it, in fact it proved useless, and Thos. Guilder & Co., put in new machinery which they used for making excelsior. After the failure of Mr, Bassett the pro- perty went into the hands of Faxon, Elms & Sears of whom J. G. Tebbets and others bought, at the close of the war. R. D. Rand and Chas. Gerrish soon after sold their rights to Mr, Tebbets, who later took John F. Dearborn as a partner, Mr. Dearborn was a spool maker and the making of spools was at once begun at Locke's Mills in the old woolen mill. After this building was burned the partnership was dissolved and Mr. Dearborn went to Bryant's Pond ; Mr. Tebbets rebuilt and operated as the Tebbets Mfg. Co., until he sold to the American Bobbin, Spool and Shuttle Co. Soon after 58 GREENWOOD the transfer the spool mill was again burned, Feb. 9, 1891, but was built the following summer. Upon the assignment of the company, in 1892, E. L. Tebbets & Co. bought the stock and leased the mill of the assignees, and in 1900 bought the property. They erected a long lumber mill dur- ing the fall of 1899 and the following spring ; they are also interested in the other mills at the village. The spool mill is by far the largest industry in town, employing an average of 60 hands, and consumes over 1,000,000 feet of stock. A lumber mill was built at Center Greenwood by Mr. Locke, about 1850. This he sold to Hiram Bisbee who operated it for a long time, until his death. It then stood idle for a few years until Cummings Bros, began operating. They sold to the present owner, Ransom Cole, who rebuilt the mill last season, and is doing a good business. Among the early traders and inn-holders at Greenwood City we would mention Geo. Patch, Daniel Verrill, Lawson Coburn, VVm. Noyes, David Crockett and Winthrop Stevens, Samuel H. Houghton, son of Moses, of Norway, was the first trader at Locke's Mills. Dr. Daniel W. Davis was the resident physician at Locke's Mills for many years, before removing to Bethel. HISTORICAL 59 CHURCH AFFAIRS. Rev. Wm. Yates, the first settler in Greenwood, was a preacher of the Methodist faith, and was doubtless a leader in the religious life of the community for many years. The Baptists were also numerous in the early town. They were ministered to by Stephen Chase and Jacob Whitman, of Woodstock; Christopher Bryant and others in Greenwood. What was known as the Woodstock and Greenwood Bap- tist Church was organized in 1830, by the people of the east part of Greenwood, and the west part of Woodstock. The services were generally held in the Bryant Neighborhood, in Greenwood. No church edifice was ever erected by the soci- ety, its meetings being held in the school house. Dea. Jacob Whitman, Dea. Christopher Bryant, Jacob Whitman, Jon- athan Cole, Joseph Whitman, D. Ricker, L. Whitman, and Cyprian Cole were leading members. Reuben Milner was the first pastor, ordained in 1843 and remaining two or three years. D. Ricker, Jr., a local preacher ministered to the church much of the time during the following years, until he became ordained pastor in 1854. The society was disorganized in 1855 and its members became members of the Bryant's Pond Baptist church. Mr. Ricker was contin- ued pastor of the new society. The Baptists have a small chapel at Greenwood Center which is sometimes supplied by the pastors from Bryant's Pond. A Union meeting house was erected early at Greenwood City, and was occupied by the Baptists, Methodists and Uni- versalists. This was destroyed by the fire in 1858, but a 60 GREENWOOD small chapel was soon after erected. In 1893, Rev. A. K. Bryant, a native of Greenwood, who was then appointed to the pastorate of the West Paris Methodist church, began holding services at this place each alternate Sabbath after- noon. His labors here were attended with remarkable suc- cess, there were over one hundred conversions, and soon a strong society was organized. Mr. Bryant remained pastor until the spring of 1898 when Rev. R. S. Leard was appointed his successor. This has remained a part of the West Paris circuit. Rev. Mr. Leard was followed by Rev. R. A. Rich, in 1900, and he by the present pastor, Rev. David Nelson, in 1903. A Union meeting house was begun at Locke's Mills in 1883, and completed the following year. Samuel Locke, Jr. gave the land for the burying ground, to the town, and reserved the adjoining lot as a gift to any society which should erect a church thereon. At first preaching was had but once a month, as had been the custom before the church was erected. Rev. Wm. Stevens was the first resident pas- tor, followed by Rev, Luther Briggs; R. A. Rich, 1894-95 ; J. H. Bounds, 1896; E. F. Doughty, 1897-98; W. B. Eldridge, from Bethel, 1899; 0. L. Stone, 1900-01, the last resident pastor; F. ^. Potter, from Bethel, and the present Bethel pastor. The house is sometimes occupied by the Baptists, Universalists and Advents but no regular services are sustained by either oi these denominations. A regular Sunday School is maintained, Joseph George, Supt. HISTORICAL 61 EARLY SCHOOLS. The earliest school house in the town of Greenwood was erected on Patch Mountain. After the organization of the plantation in 1813, a generous appropriation of fifty dollars was made for the support of schools, and the following- spring this amount was increased to $75. It was also decided to divide the plantation into school districts, each district to draw its proportionate share of the total amount, and to regulate itself." When the town was organized in 1815 a school commit- tee was chosen, and |150 appropriated for educational pur- poses. The plantation had erected a school house in the vicinity of Sanborn's Mills, and others were soon located throughout different parts of the town. In 1820 there were nine districts, and an appropriation of |200 was made for education. Five years later we find there were 225 scholars in town, 168 of w^hom were registered attendants on the public schools. The town population was then 650. The development of the school system was similar to thatin the surrounding towns. New and improved methods were introduced when proven to those under whose care the schools were placed to be of value in advancing the chusp of education. The district system was abolished when the state law was enacted for that purpose and several of the old districts have been united under the town system. The representative men of Greenwood who have gone out into the world, and many who have remained upon its native hills are proof in their character and mental ability of the 62 GBEENWOOD value of the early trainiDg received in the little red school house, and though not here offered the advantages of an advanced institution of learning, they laid the foundation for a life of usefulness and influence which does credit to these early families and the town of their birth.

The town of Stoneham is made up of a tract of 3,000 acres granted to Fryeburg- Academy and now included in the western part of the town, a grant made to Richard Batchelder along the state line called the First Division, and the Second Division made to the same grantee, a part of which is now East Stoneham. This section was explored by hunters and trappers, and probably by lumbermen, before the close of the eighteenth century, but we have no proof of any settlement having been made until sometime later. When Elisha Allen came onto this tract in March 1822 from Norway he found but three families living in the vicinity of East Stoneham, These were Jonathan Sawyer, who had moved from Oxford and was probably the first permanent settler, located on the farm which was so long occupied by hisson, Joel S., now owned by E. S. Bartlett; Edward Wells, living on the north half of the farm now occupied by Levi McAllister; and Joseph Stevens who had a log cabin on the farm now occupied by James Merrill. Indeed, all were living in log houses, for the settlers in this locality had a hard struggle with nature to eek out a living fi-om the rugged soil. These were all very jxjor, — and Mr. Allen did not add much wealth to the settlement. He stayed over night at 66 E. STONEHAM the cabin of Mr. Wells, then moved his family into a cabin which had been built by one Russell who had made a small clearing. A son and daughter of Mr. Allen are still living in East Stoneham, at an advanced age. At North Stoneham were six settlers, I^evi Durgin, Ephraim Durgin, Nathan Cobb, Oris Parker, Solomon McKeen and Samuel S. Willard. Many descendants of these families have remained in town, but their early clearings have returned to their native timbered condition. In the west were Andrew Harper. Daniel McAllister, and Daniel McKeen, whose son, Peter, was the first male child born in Stoneham. Eastman McAllister came to West Stoneham in 1831. But we can only briefly trace the Eastern settlement. A Mr. Thurlow settled on the Ames Barker place. John Allen came from Canton to the Levi McAllister place. Benj. G. Sturgis, Jonathan Moore and John Files, all from Gor- ham. Me., were pioneers in the settlement, as were also Sam- uel and Sylvanus Richardson, and Samuel Stiles of North Stoneham. About 1830 the Oxford county road was built through East Stoneham from No. AVaterford to Lovell, which opened up the country to many new families. Amos Evans, a val- ued citizen, moved in from Gorham, N. H., in 1832; his oldest son, Sumner, did much for the prosperity of the place. James Durgin settled on the farm now owned and occupied by Jouathau Bartlett, Jr. Here he was followed in 1843 by Jonathan Bartlett, Sr., who came from Newry. Mr. Bart- lett was a man of much abilitv and considerable wealth. HISTORICAL 67 He became the financial, social and political leader of the hamlet, in all of which he has been succeeded by his son, and namesake. Jonathan, Jr. is one of the leading lumbermen of this part of the state, and in 1885, like his father, repre- sented his district in the Maine legislature. Wm. H. Rand, the first trader at East Stoneham, lived very near the site of V. H. Littlefield's residence. Eben Saw- yer, son of Jonathan, lived where Mr. Wells had made his first clearing. Christopher Rand, father of Geo. W. and Wm. H., settled where Jas. Merrill now lives. Jonathan Moore succeeded Wm. H. Rand in trade, and has been fol- lowed by Sumner Evans, I. F. Evans, W. H. Kilgore, J. B. Barnett, Geo. Meader and G. A. Brown, H. H. Tibbetts and J. Bartlett & Sons, the last named since 1891. Samuel Stiles was an early trader at his house which was near the site of Levi McAllister's. Many from the western and northern part of the town, have taken up lots in the east, among whom are the McKeenes, McAllisters and Sawyers. We have no record of the incorporation of Stoneham, which was done Jan. 31, 1834. In 1840 Ellis B. Usher, of Hollis, who had bought of Mr. Batchelder all the lands that lay south of A Range, 2nd Division, except what had been settled, caused the passage of an act, changing the name of this town to Usher. The citizens were indignant, and when the following winter, they sent Edward E. Rand to repre- sent them in the state legislature, he^ presented a petition which at once restored the early name. The earliest records now existing in the town, begin with the town of Usher, the earlier ones having been destroyed by fire. 68 E. SLONEHA.M TOWN OFFICIALS. CLERKS. Jonathan Moore, 1850-52; Henry A.

Much val- uable timber has been taken from its rocky, rugged hillsides, and much is yet to be found awaiting the woodsman's axe. The earliest settlers took their corn to Proctor's mill, in South Albany or to the mill in West Stoneham but Jonathan Sawyer early built a saw mill on the outlet to Lake Keeway- din, earlier known as lower Stone Pond. Joel S. Sawyer succeeded his father at the mill until he sold to John Lynch. It was then sold to John Howe, and lastly, to Jonathan Bartlett, about 1 880. This is a long lumber njill, but is not much used now. On the site of the mill built by Mark Ham about 1855, James Durgin had earlier erected a shingle mill which was probably destroyed by fieshet or fire. Mr. Ham sold his property and rights to Sumner Evans and Wm. Hazeltine, and they to Jonathan Bartlett about 1871. Mr. Bartlett employs from six to eight men here about nine months in the year preparing spool stock for the mill at Lynchville, dowels and other lumber. There is also a steam mill in West Stoneham, which Mr. Bartlett operated for seven years, now owned by McKeene Bros., which furnishes much spool stock. The first mill built at the lower site, near the postoffice, was built by Solomon Floyd about 1845. Jonathan Howe bought the property about fifteen years later. It was later 72 E. STONEHAM owned succeBsively by Horace Brown, James L. Parker, G. W. Spears, who repaired it and sold to the Stoueham Lum- ber Co. about 1887, then C. D. Spears. The mill was nearly all swept away by freshet soon after which Mr. Spears com- mitted suicide. His administrators sold to A, H. Spears, of whom the present owner, V. H. Littlefield, bought in 1900, The mill was burned in June 1902, but rebuilt that fall. It is operated about four months each season. MILITARY ACCOUNT, When the call for men to defend the Uiiiou went forth, and during that terrible struggle for the freedom of the South, Stoneharn responded promptly and liberally from her small list of available men. She sent to the Union army considerably more men than her quotas called for, and not only in numbers, but in the character and bravery of these men, were they an honor to their native town. The follow- ing is a list of the men credited to Stoneham, as recorded by the State Adjutant-Gen. :— Thos. Adams, Albion Adams, Hosea Adams, Chas. L. Adams, Andrew J. Blair, Alpheus S. Bisbee, Henry S. Bar- ker, Melsor B. Brown, Orrin W. Bartlett, Wm. W. Durgin, John Evans, Corpl. Saml. S. Evans, Saml. Gray Jr., L. B. Gurns, Frank W. Ham, Wilson Hill, Willard B.

Wentworth. Geo. F. Leppien Post, G. A. R. No. 136, was organized by the veterans of this town, North Waterford and Albany, on April 9, 1885. The charter members were Geo. E. Elli- ott, Geo. W. Woodbury, H. H. Tibbetts, E. J. Jordan, W. W. Kilburn, Jas. Brown, W. R. York, Levi McAllister, N. M. Russell, J. S. Small and J. J. Fields. Geo. W. Woodbury' was made the first commander. This post has attained a membership as high as sixty, but is now reduced by death and removals to sixteen in good standing. Jas. J. Fields is the present commander, N. H. Plummer, adjutant, and Levi McAllister, quarter master. 74 E. STONEHAM EAST STONEHAM CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Services were early held in East Stoneham by Methodist preachers, including Elder Watson of Lovell, and Elder Mclntire and Elder Center of Waterford. These meetings were held in the school house or at the homes of devout members of the faith for many years, but no meeting house was ever erected, and the people were too poor to support a regular preacher. Other denominations were represented, but none attempted organization until recently. In the summer of 1894, Rev. E. W. Pond, a Yale Divinity student was com- missioned by the Maine Missionary Society to supply the church at Albany. At that time no services were being held at East Stoneham, but the people here were anxious that some form of religious worship might be established, and a Sunday school maintained. Heariog of the place Mr. Pond came and held a few services, after which a school was organized which continued after Mr. Pond returned to his studies. Rev. Donald McCormick, of the North Waterford Cong, church then began holding Thursday evening services and much interest was manifested by the people. In March Mr. Pond visited the place and reported its favorable condi- tion to the Maine Missionary Society. He was then com- missioned to this field for the summer. In May he began his ministry, having been ordained, and on May 31, steps were taken toward a preliminary organization. Jonathan HISTORICAL 75 Bartlett, Albert Littlefield, C. C. Flanders, A. C. Holt, Mrs. M. R. Littlefield and Rev. Mr. Pond were chosen a building committee to consider the erection of a church. A building lot was given by J. L. Parker of Norway; this the people graded and laid the foundation for the new edifice. The contract for the building was given to C. H. Adams of Nor- way for $1700. The organ, books, and interior furnishings were all gifts from friends of the society. The entire cost of the building was |2230. A Congregational Church was organized Aug. 25, 1895, with 26 members. Rev. Mr. Pond was followed by Rev. A. P. McDonald who began his ministry here Oct. 24, 1895 and remained until April 24, 1899. The following July Rev. Howard Gilpatrick began a pastorate which lasted until Aug. 31, 1901. Rev. E. W. Pond again came to the church in Nov. 1901, and remained until March 1904, when Geo. H. Driver succeeded him for the summer. The church was then without a settled pastor until April 1905, when the present pastor, Rev. Geo. P. Fuller, began his labors. The&f pas- tors serve this in connection with the No. Waterford church, living generally at the latter place. There are now 54 mem- bers representing the leading families of the community. The work done by the church here has remarkably trans- formed the social life of the community, and is educating the children to hiyrher ideals. 76 E. STONEHAM SCHOOL ITEMS We are g:iven some light on the earlier schools, by Mrs. Prudence Smith, the daughter of Elisha Allen, whose mem- ory goes back to the time when the families of this hamlet could be counted on one's fingers. What was doubtless the earliest house erected for school purposes in East Stoneham was a low^ log house located about one-third the way up Shirley hill. Schools were taught also at private houses, which may have been before this house was erected. Mrs. Smith distinctly remembers attending one of these schools, taught by Mary Ann Bryant, on the top of Shirley hill, as early as 1835. In 1842 there were six districts in town. This number was maintained for many years, but under the town s^'stem has now been reduced to three, two of which are in the east. The two-story school house at the village, formerly called district No. 1, was built in 1870, when there were about 100 scholars attending. Both rooms were filled. Now there are about one-third that number and only the lower floor is used for school purposes, the upper one being used for a hall. The house in district No. 6, has been twice moved eastward to be at the center of the families whose children attend here. Census-1906 The population ol the Towns of Waterford, Albany, Greenwood and E. Stoneham has been arranged in families where that arrangement has been possible. In these fam- ilies, in addition to the resident living members, the names of the non-resident members are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of all former residents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After the name of each non-resident will be found the present address, when such address has been given to us. Non-residents are indi- cated by the (*). When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). Following the names of the population is the occupations. To designate these we have used the more common abbre- viations and contractions, as follows: Farmer — far; car- penter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached the age of five years)— pi; housework— ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon — phy & sur; clergyman — clerg; mer- chant— mer; teacher— tr; blacksmith— blk; clerk— cl; book- keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic-mech; raachinist- mach; engineer-eng; maker— mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; shoe shop work — shoe op; cotton or woolen mill operatives — mill op; weaver— weav; spinner — spin; electrician — elec; painter — ptr; carriage work— car wk; dress maker — dr mkr; insurance — ins; traveling salesman, or commercial traveler — sales, or coml trav; music teacher— mus tr; teamster— team; general work — genlwk; mariner— mar; emplo}' — emp; retired — retd .
