 Early Settlement and Incorporation. 
 
 It was the village of Mechanic Falls that made the 
 town of Mechanic Falls, and its territory was a part of 
 ancient Bakertuwn. The name of this plantation had 
 been changed in 1795, when it was incorporated as the 
 93rd town and named Poland. There is a difference of 
 opinion as to the origin of the name. Some say it was 
 named after the famous Indian chief Poland; some after 
 the country in Europe and some after the ancient hymn- 
 melody. In 1802 Poland was divided and the portion on 
 the eastern side of the Little Androscoggin River was in- 
 corporated on February 18th, of that year as the 129th 
 town and named Minot. This latter portion was sub- 
 divided in 1852 and the town of Auburn formed, which 
 has since become a city. The territory of the town of 
 Danville which was annexed to Auburn February 26, 
 1807, had been set off from Poland territory in 1852. 
 
6 HISTORICAL 
 
 That portion of Bakertown now occupied by the town 
 of Mechanic Falls was the last portion of its territory to 
 be settled, and was made np of about equal portions of 
 the towns of Poland and Minot. It was the water power 
 of the Little Androscoggin that attracted settleis. This 
 river is about forty miles long and the area of its basin is 
 280 square miles, discharging about 10,020,000,000 cubic 
 feet of water. It is variable, according to the season, as 
 to the quantity of water discharged and this inequality 
 is adjusted by the use of the numerous ponds for storage 
 purposes. There are two falls in the river within the 
 territory of Mechanic Falls, one at Page's Mills, of four- 
 teen feet fall within a distance of fifteen hundred feet 
 with. a volume of 17,000 cubic feet of water per minute, 
 and one at the village proper of thirty-seven feet in a 
 distance of nine hundred and fifty feet, with a volume of 
 20,000 cubic feet of water per minute and a velocity of 
 current of ninety-six feet per minute. There are 
 twenty-one ponds above the village with an area of 
 twenty-eight square miles, all of which can be used for 
 storage purposes. 
 
 W here the beautiful village of Mechanic Falls is now 
 located was but an unbroken wilderness until the year 
 1820 when Josiah Jordan, in company with others came 
 from Poland Corner for the purpose of looking out a 
 route for a highway to render communication with the 
 people of Minot more convenient. 
 
 It was late in 1823, while the land was still covered 
 with a heavy forest, that Isaiah and Luther Perkins with 
 Captain James Farris of Hebron, erected a saw mill on 
 
HISTORICAL 7 
 
 what was then the Poland side of the river. This mill 
 was soon burned and another was built, owned in part, 
 in connection with the above named persons, by a Mr. 
 Smith of Portland. This was also burned and another 
 was built which stood until 1867, when it was taken down 
 to be re-placed by a paper mill. A small lumber mill 
 was also erected on the Minot side by Aseph Churchill 
 and a grist mill by Isaiah Perkins. Mr. Perkins was the 
 earliest to settle in the village. 
 
 The first dweUing house was erected in 1828 by Dean 
 Andrews, who worked in the mills, on what is now 
 Pleasant Street near the site of the residences of 0. B. 
 Dwinal. The same year Isaiah Perkins erected a barn 
 on what is now Main Street, nearly opposite the Metho- 
 dist church, and the following year a house near by, 
 these are still standing, and the oldest buildings in the 
 village. The first building on the Poland side was erect- 
 ed by Luther Perkins very nearly on the site of the 
 Grand Trunk Depot. The first store was erected by 
 Isaiah Perkins on what is now Post Office Square near 
 where Perry's Block recently stood. 
 
 Capt. Jacob Dwinal built the third house in Mechanic 
 Falls village, the house still stands; and the brick yard 
 which he established, the first in town, is still in active 
 operation. 
 
 An old kitchen clock, owned by Mrs. Mason, was 
 the first one of its kind to be brought here. This clock 
 was originally owned by her grandfather, Richard G.Foss 
 who we are told, was the third settler. He built his 
 house where Merrill's millinery store now stands. 
 
8 HISTORICAL 
 
 The growth of the village was at first slow as but 
 very few workmen w«re needed in the lumber mills of 
 the early years. The first great impetus to growth was 
 made by the establishment of the Atlantic & St. Law- 
 rence Railroad, now the Grrand Trunk, and its completion 
 to this point in 18-1:9, made a boom for the town. People 
 fiocked in and the village grew rapidly. The next year 
 the railroad passed on to South Paris and the bubble 
 burst. It has been paper making that has been of per- 
 manent value to the village and made it what it is. The 
 first mill was built in 1851 by Ebenezer Drake and Ezra 
 Mitchell. Mitchell's part was soon purchased by Oliver 
 B. Dwinal and this firm carried on business until it was 
 sold to A. C. Dennison & Co. in 1866. In 1851 the last 
 named company bought out Messrs. Perkins, Dunham, 
 Moore and Waterhouse who had succeeded the original 
 proprietors, on the Poland side and began the manufac- 
 ture of paper, which has been continued with some 
 changes of ownership until the present time. 
 
 Mechanic Falls is not a designed town. It happened 
 by chance. For many years it had no name. Dr. Jacob 
 Tewksbury, a famous physician half a century ago in 
 Oxford, who was called to officiate at the birth of the 
 first child born in Mechanic Falls (Isaiah Andrews, son 
 of Deacon Andrews, the first resident), called the place 
 ' 'Jericho" from his bitter experience on this trip occuring 
 in the night and causing him to travel over rough logging 
 roads for seven miles. It bore this name for some time. 
 In early times, it is said, that it took a good deal of grog 
 to run the place and for this reason the name "Jericho" 
 
HISTORICAL 9 
 
 was succeeded by "Groggy Harbor;-" but the popular 
 name was "Bog Falls" which clung to it until 1841, when 
 a post office was established and at the suggestion of the 
 first postmaster, Samuel F. Waterman, it was called 
 Mechanics' Falls, which was changed to Mechanic Falls 
 in 1887 at the suggestion of postmaster Frank A. Millett. 
 
 The village being situated in two towns found that 
 its interests could not be served as well as they ought to 
 be and effort was made in 1889 to have the two sideis 
 incorporated, that a better system of police and fire pro- 
 tection could be inaugurated and better schools estab- 
 lished. Many were opposed to this. The legislature 
 of 1889 granted a charter for this purpose with the 
 provision that it must be accepted by a majority of the 
 voters on both sides. This charter was defeated by the 
 lack of six votes on the Poland side. On February 29, 
 1891, the Poland side was incorporated under a charter 
 granted by the legislature that winter, when it in- 
 augurated the plan of a village divided against itself. This 
 did not meet with the satisfaction of the larger portion 
 of the citizens and a petition was presented to the legis- 
 lature of 1893 to set off the following defined portions of 
 the towns of Poland and Minot and form the town of 
 Mechanic Falls. After a severe struggle this act was 
 passed March 22 1893. The town limits are as follows: 
 
 Beginning at a point in Gardiner brook (so called) on 
 to Oxford town line where said brook enters the town of 
 Minot; thence following said Oxford town line to Winter 
 broDk (so called) in the town of Poland; following the line 
 of said brooktothe road to Winter bridge, (so called)thence 
 
lo HISTORICAL 
 
 following the line of said road leading to Mechanic Falls 
 to Cousins brook (so called); thence following the line of 
 said Cousins brook (so called); to Waterhouse brook (so 
 called); thence continuing from said Waterhouse brook 
 to the lot line at the south-westerly corner of the Alansou 
 Briggs Placf^ in Poland; thence continuing; on said lot to 
 the Little Androscoggin River; thence up the line of said 
 river to a point where Bog Brook (so called) enters the 
 same; thence up said Bog brook to Gardiner brook (so 
 called); then^.e up the line of said Gardiner brook to the 
 point of beginning on Oxford line. 
 
 PIGEON HILL. 
 
 So far this history has been confined, almost exclu- 
 sively, to the territory occupied by the village of Mechanic 
 Falls; but there is a part of the tow^n, known as Pigeon 
 Hill, which is purely an agricultural community. To be 
 sure there is a stretch of farming country up the valley 
 of the little Androscoggin and another on that eminence 
 known as Mount Hunger, but these sections have been 
 built up by the village and largely dependent upon it. 
 Pigeon Hill was settled before the village and is the only 
 portion of the town which has the appearance of an- 
 tiquity. 
 
 The first settlers on Pigeon Hill were Jabez True, 
 and Capt. Day, who came from New Gloucester in 1779 
 or 1780, and made an opening on what is known as the 
 A. C. Dennison farm and for many years these were the 
 only settlers. From 1790 to 1795 quite a number of set- 
 tlers came from New Gloucester and Poland Empire. 
 
HISTORICAL . II 
 
 Jabez True was born in New Gloucester in 1771 and 
 married Hannah Jackson of Poland. This family has 
 perhaps been the most prominent on the hill. Families 
 in those days were large and there was one singular thing 
 about them — the usual number of children seemed to be 
 twelve and there were twelve in this family. Their 
 children were, Sally, Jabez, John, Elizabeth, Hannah, 
 Moses, Rocksyllania, Miriam, Abagail, Otis, Rebecca and 
 Daniel W. They were an industrious family and several 
 of them gained distinction in the mercantile world. The 
 fine old mansion was built in 1802, which at the death 
 of Jabez, descended to his son, Daniel W. and after to 
 his only son Frank D. 
 
 Captain Ripley cleared the next above the True farm, 
 occupied for many years by Alden Chandler and after- 
 wards by S. N. Haskell. Captain Ripley, came from 
 Plympton, Massachusetts, and brought with him a negro 
 slave, Black Joe, or Joe Prince, as he was called, the 
 only slave ever owned within the limits of the town of 
 MechanicFalls. 
 
 Jacob Strout took up a part of the same lot with 
 Captain Ripley. He married Salley Bray, of the Empire 
 and left quite a familv of children (viz.) Sally, Joshua, 
 Nabby, Jacob, Joseph, Nathaniel, Cyrena, Hobert, Adon- 
 iram, Cynthia and William. Mr. Strout met with a 
 painful accident while clearing his land. In fastening a 
 chain around a log he wished to haul, the oxen became 
 frightened and run to the house and the hook of the 
 chain caught in the fleshy part of the leg and he was 
 dragged after the oxen. He very narrowly escaped 
 
12 HISTORICAL 
 
 death and was lame ever after. 
 
 Eben Marble took the next lot west of the Ripley 
 farm and came with his bride, Sarah Cash of Cape Eliza- 
 beth, in 1790. He lived here until 1812 when he enlisted 
 as a soldier in the war then raging between this country 
 and England, went to Burlington, Vermont, and died 
 there. 
 
 Among the prominent families of the section are 
 the Dennings. George and Simeon, brothers, came from 
 Salem, Massachusetts, in 1791 or 1792 and took lots on 
 the hill. George cleared several sections of land and 
 built first a log house on what is known as the Haley 
 Pulsifer farm, which being burned, caused him to 
 buy the lot west and to erect a building on the farm now 
 owned by his grandson, J. K Denning. Simeon made 
 several clearings, lived in several places on the hill and 
 in 1830 moved to Shirley, Maine, where he died. Both 
 of these men left large families who have been prominent 
 in bhis section. George married Elenel Rollins of New 
 Gloucester, by whom he had twelve children as follows; 
 Samuel, Stephen, Hannah, Ruth, Ruth 2d, Basheby, 
 George, Job, Moses, Rhoda, James and Jacob. Simeon 
 Denning married Rebecca Chickering and had eleven 
 children; Simeon, Peter, Frederic, John, Levi, Lyford, 
 Elena, Lydia, Joseph, Lois and Otis. 
 
 Among the earlier settlers was Dr. Peter Brooks, 
 "an Indian doctor" who came from Plympton, Massa- 
 chusetts, and has the distinction of building the first 
 frame house within the present town of Mechanic Falls. 
 It is said that he came by his death from inhaling poison 
 
HISTORICAL 13 
 
 from the fangs of rattlesnakes, which he us^d to get 
 from Rattlesnake Mountain in Raymond, during the win- 
 ter season, for the oil which he used in his practice. 
 
 John Cousins of Wells, came to the hill in 17*J5. 
 He married for his first wife Lucy Hatch and for his 
 second Sarah Cushman of Hebron. He purchased the 
 Jabez True opening. His family consisted of fourteen 
 as follows: Samuel, William, Sarah, Eliza, Lucy, Thomas, 
 Susan, Abagail, Humphrey, Mary J., Adaline, Harriet, 
 Jacob T. and James D. 
 
 Alden Chandler came from Plympton, Massachu- 
 setts, in 1800. By his first wife, Priscilki Cushman of 
 Hebron, he had ten children; Priscilla, Harvey, Alvin, 
 Josiah, Lydia, Christania, Benjamin F., Gains, Jacob 
 and Rachel T. His second wife was Hepzebah Cooledge 
 of Livermore. 
 
 Nathaniel Bray came to this locality from the Em- 
 pire in 1818 and Daniel Bray, his brother, in 1820. Many 
 of their descendants live here and a section of the town 
 is called the Bray District in their honor. They left five 
 children each. Nathaniel married Deborah Keene and 
 their children were; Mary, Xoa, Stephen, James and 
 Eliphalet. Daniel married Xoa Keene and their children 
 were; George W., Sullivan A., Emeline, Daniel J., and 
 Jefferson, 
 
 The business of the hill has been agriculture 
 but in early days (1820) Reuben B. Dunn kept a store 
 here, Hiram Hilburn did blacksmithing and Joseph Per- 
 kins made earthern pans. 
 
14 HISTORICAL 
 
 Industrial Account. 
 
 It was the waterpower of the little Androscog- 
 gin which occasioned the settlement of the land on the 
 present site of the village of Mechanic Falls, and has 
 been the sole source of its growth and prosperity. To 
 present things in their natural order, the manufacturies 
 which have been promoted by the falls would come first. 
 The natural industries of the state of Maine have 
 been the turning of the products of her forests into 
 merchandise and therefore the pioneer industry of every 
 town, almost without exception, has been lumbering. 
 To this rule Mechanic Falls was no exception. The first 
 industry was a lumber mill which was situated on, what 
 is now known, as the upper dam. Boards, shingles, and 
 boxes were turned out here and the mill operated by 
 Isaiah Perkins, Luther Perkins and James Farris. In 
 the box mill a Mr. Smith of Portland owned a share. 
 This was built as has been stated, in 1823. This business 
 continued with some changes until 1851. Messrs. Moore, 
 Dunham and Waterhouse had bought into the water pow- 
 er and introduced small woolen manufacturies of their 
 own. Shortly after the building of the first saw mill, a 
 grist mill was erected by Isaiah Perkins which for many 
 years, did a large business for the times. 
 
 In 1851, the character of the business changed, in the 
 line of a natural resource, to the manufacture of paper. 
 At that time rags were almost exclusively used for this 
 purpose and no one dreamed of the possibilities held in 
 our forests, in the way of pulp. The first paper mill was 
 
IS HISTORICAL 
 
 built by Ebenezer Drake and Ezra Mitchell on the eastern 
 side of the river, in 1851. Oliver B. Dwinal and W. C. 
 Dwinal soon bought out Mitcheirs share and this firm 
 was known as Drake, Dwinal & Co. , who continued in 
 this business until 1865, when they sold out to A. C. 
 Dennison & Co., who had already established a business 
 of the same kind on the opposite side of the river. 
 
 A. C. Dennison & Co., built their first mill, known as 
 the Eagle, in 1851 having bought out one half of the power 
 at the upper dam. The firm consisted of Adna C. Dennison 
 andE. W. Filer. This mill with machinery cost $15,000 
 and made from rag stock, a ton of paper every twenty- 
 four hours. In 1862 Adna T. Dennison bought out Filer's 
 interest and machinery to prepare and use straw 
 was introduced at considerable expense. In 1865 the land 
 below the upper mills was bought, the second dam built 
 and the Star mill completed. In 1865, also a new mill 
 was built on the site of the old Drake & Dwinal mill. In 
 1866, the lower dam and the Poland Pulp mill were built, 
 also the stone dam and flumes on the upper privilege. 
 About the same time the mills and privilege at Range 
 Pond were purchased with rights of fiowage and a stone 
 reservoir dam built. At the next legislature a charter 
 was obtained to control the water. The Calendar mill 
 on the upper dam was built also at this time, as well as 
 machine and carpenter shops. In 1873 The Dennison 
 Paper Manufacturing Company was formed with a cap- 
 ital stock of $5('0,000. Adna C. and AdnaT. Dennison and 
 Mrs. C. M. Cram, stockholders. In 1879 and 1880 a 
 chemical pulp mill was built at Canton to supply the 
 
i6 HISTORICAL 
 
 mills at Mechanic Falls with pulp. In 1887 these exten- 
 sive works passed into the hands of a new company 
 known as the Poland Paper Company, with a 
 capital stock of $300,000. The officers of this company 
 were: President, Arthur Sewall, Bath; Chas. R. Milliken, 
 clerk and Treasurer, Portland; directors, Arthur Sewall, 
 James Munroe, George C. Wing, W. S. Dana, W. G. Davis, 
 W. H. Milliken, Frank D. True, Superintendent, C. H. 
 Milliken. At the time they acquired this property it 
 employed 175 hands, used twenty tons of pulp daily and 
 its monthly shipment of manufactured goods amounted 
 to $50,000. In 1891 a spur track was laid out from the 
 Grand Trunk Railway line, one-half mile below the de- 
 pot to the mills. The same year the carpenter and 
 machine shops of the company were burned, which were 
 rebuilt with brick the following year. In 1893 a gigantic 
 brick mill was built extending from Poland Pulp mill, 
 which forms a part of the new mill on the lower dam to 
 the Eagle on the upper dam, with a capacity of thirty 
 tons of manufactured paper per day. The Star mill 
 which had stood in the center of the new mill was torn 
 down and a stone wall built the entire way changing the 
 course of the river and turning quite a portion of 
 river bottom into dry land and covered in part by the 
 site of the new mill. The present officers of this com- 
 pany are C. H. Milliken, Treasurer, C. R. Milliken, Mana- 
 ger. 
 
 One mile above the village and within the limits of 
 the town, is another privilege, which for many years 
 was owned and used as a saw mill by Moses Page. In 
 
HISTORICAL

 THE FALLS 
 
 1868, this privilege was bought by J. A. Bucknam, who 
 improved the lumber and grist mills and operated them 
 for fifteen years, since that time the privilege has been 
 unused. 
 
 For many years John Winslow run a tannery on 
 ground now occupied as a part of the site of the Dia- 
 mond paper mill. Along in the seventies Mr. Winslow 
 failed and the property passed into the hands of Warren 
 Winslow, who operated it a few years, when it was sold 
 to A. C. Dennison & Co. 
 
 Cabinet making has been carried on in the town 
 since 1841 by Lowell Valentine, Nelson Valentine, R. L. 
 
i8 HISTORICAL 
 
 McPherson, William Eldridge, D. S. Perkins, D. B. 
 Perry and J. S. Merrill. In 1878, Andrew J. Weston 
 began as contractor and builder and has continued ever 
 since. 
 
 Brick making has been a prominent business ever 
 since 18(55. For many years there was a yard on Main 
 Street near its junction with Dwinal, but it has not 
 been operated for twenty years. Fessenden & Morrill 
 operated one for many years on the Poland road. This 
 was sold in the seventies to Thurston & Waterhouse 
 who operated it until 1880 when it was discontinued. 
 In 1893 a new yard was opened on Water Street by the 
 Mechanic Falls Brick Company, consisting of Horace 
 Purington & Co., of Waterville, and F. Purington, 
 of Mechanic Falls. 
 
 In the early seventies, the shoe factory manufacturies 
 of Massachusetts began to feel the power of combined 
 labor and to desire to get away from those centers which 
 made this power possible; so they made overtures to 
 small country villages to erect them factories and 
 thereby increase their size and importance. Mechanic 
 Falls took advantage of one of those opportunities and 
 built the factory on Main Street near the Grand Trunk 
 Railway, for Berry, Field & Company. But the village 
 was unfortunate in this company, as it has been in 
 every one since that time. It soon failed. The Ventil- 
 ating Waterproof Company took its place to stay but a 
 short time. Then came Thompson & Company to 
 follow the path of the others. The old factory was then 
 placed in the hands of J. A. Bucknam & Company, and 
 
HISTORICAL 19 
 
 has since been used as a ready-made clothing factory. 
 In 1881 J. Harris & Son's of Marblehead, Massachusetts, 
 made a proposition to the village to build them a factory 
 which they would lease for ten years, and carry on there- 
 in the manufacture of shoes. This the village conclud- 
 ed to do and organized the Mechanic Falls Manufacturing 
 Company for the purpose of building the proposed 
 building. 0. B. Dwinal was elected president, which 
 position he filled until 1892, with the exception of one 
 year when C. E. Stevens filled the chair. The proposed 
 factory was built at a cost of $15,000, and occupied by 
 the lessees. They stayed for the stipulated time when 
 they concluded to return to their factories in Marble- 
 head. Labor had become organized in the small towns 
 the same as in cities and it was no advantage for 
 companies to remain so far from the base of operations 
 and many a Maine town suffered from the loss of this 
 industry. 
 
 In 1871 the village embarked in an industry from 
 which it hoped to reap great profits. This was the 
 manufacture of magazine rifles, invented by George 
 F. Evan's. The Evans' Eifle Company was organized 
 for this purpose. The majorit)'^ of this stock was owned 
 by the Deunison Paper Company. This arm was adopted 
 by the Russian government, but the expense of equip- 
 ping the shop to make the guns was so great that it 
 failed both companies, and the plant was moved to 
 Massachusetts in 1878. 
 
 The Packing Business was inaugurated here in 1873, 
 by J. W. Jones. In 1886 it passed into the hands of 
 
20 HISTORICAL 
 
 General Charles P. Haddocks, and in 1890, into the 
 possession of John Hanscom, and the following year 
 it was leased to the Portland Packing Company. In 
 1888 a new company was formed in the village, known 
 as the Minot Packing Company, formed by H. E. 
 Thurston, and J. A. Grerry, of Mechanic Falls and H. 
 F. Hayford and J. W. Bicknell of Canton. In 1890 
 Hayford and Bicknell sold their interests to the former 
 patrons. 
 
 The manufacture of clothing has been carried on in 
 this village for many years by J. A. Bucknam & Co., 
 Dwinal & Golderman, Joseph Bucknam & Son, Golder- 
 man & Cummings, P. T. Murray, and W. B. Bucknam. 
 The former company having carried it on to a large 
 extent and have at times, given employment to as many 
 as one thousand persons. 
 
 , Toothpicks have been manufactured in town by 
 E. E. Edgecomb and E. A. Harris. 
 
 Pumps were manufactured at one time by T. B, 
 Swan and J. C. Walker. 
 
 In 1872 the machine shop and foundry of J. W. 
 Penney was established and has grown from a small 
 beginning to large proportions. In 1884 A. R. and S. 
 R. Penney were admitted to the firm and name changed 
 to J. W. Penney & Son's. 
 
 Among the industries, which, while not directly 
 located in the village have been a source of prost erity, is 
 the railroads. The Atlantic & St. Lawrence Railroad 
 was organized and a charter obtained Feb. 10, 1845. 
 It reached Mechanic Falls in 1849, bringing a boom to 
 
HISTORICAL 21 
 
 the place. It continued on to Montreal and in later 
 years to Chicago, with a branch to Quebec. 
 
 On June 22, 1847, a road running from Mechanic 
 Falls to Buckfield was chartered and opened on Oct. 10, 
 1849, known as the Buckfield Branch. This soon failed 
 and was succeeded by the Portland & Oxford Central 
 Railroad Company, who operated it off and on for twenty 
 years, extending it to Canton. They finally abandoned 
 it. In 1874 it was resumed by the Rumford Falls & 
 Buckfield Railroad Company. In 1892 it was extended 
 to Rumford Falls and in 1893, to Auburn, and opened 
 to traffic to the latter place on Feb. 12, 1894.

 Republic; reminding us as it does, of a struggle yet 
 familiar to middle-aged people and to which the nation 
 reverts with pride. The Post was named after one of 
 the youngest citizen soldiers of Mechanic Falls and a 
 Lieutenant of the seventeenth Maine Regiment. It 
 was instituted July 18, 1872. The following persons 
 have filled the post of commander: 
 
 Josiah Carr, H. A. Sawyer, H. T. Bucknam, Ed- 
 ward Fuller, E. F. Ross, F. R. Harmon, H. B. King, W.

 CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 
 
 CHURCH AFFAIRS 
 
 The first regularly organized church in Mechanic Falls 
 was that of the Congregational Society. The earlier 
 believers in this particular faith had been members of 
 the church at Poland and the organization in the village 
 of Mechanic Falls was at first a branch of that church. 
 The church was organized by an ecclesiastical council 
 held in the house of John Valentine, June 15, 1845, with 
 
26 HISTORICAL 
 
 the following persons as members: John Valentine, 
 Joseph H. Hall, Sophia Hall, Salmon Hackett, Laurana 
 Hackett, Samuel Chandler, Lowell and Nelson Valentine, 
 Mrs. Pamelia Foss and Mrs. Nancy P. Alden Two 
 other branches of the church were under the charge of 
 Rev. Thomas Williams, preaching on alternate Sundays 
 at Poland Corner and Mechanic Falls. The first church 
 service was held in the school house on the eastern side 
 of the river, July 12, 1840. The lot on which the present 
 church edifice stands was presented by John Valentine 
 and a vestry was built during the summer of 1841, and 
 dedicated December 30, 1841. On November 2, 1842, 
 the branch became an independent body with Rev. Nathan 
 Cobb as pastor. The church edifice was completed 
 and dedicated in 1848 and the old vestry removed in 
 1850. In 1886 the church was remodeled, repaired and a 
 basement vestry added in 1886. Following is a list of 
 pastors: Nathan Cobb, 1842-47; Enos Merrill, 1847-65; 
 William N. Jordan, 1855-59; Horatio Illsley, 1859-62; 
 Joseph Kyte, 1862-64; the pulpit was then supplied by 
 Rev's. George W. Campbell, E. T. Bouchers, F. M. Davis, 
 A. C. Herrick, E. S. Jordan, H. Witcher, R. J. Lang- 
 radge and Profs, Stanley, Hayes and Angell until April 
 1, 1874, when Rev. F, E. Emrich, became pastor and 
 remained until 1882, he was succeeded by Rev C. A.White, 
 1882-88; Rev. H. S. Woodrow, 1888 to 1889; then by 
 Rev. F. Newport. Rev. Frederick Newport remained 
 until May, 1898 when he was succeeded by Rev. C. W. 
 Fisher who remained until June 1902 when he went to 
 Portland. 
 
HISTORICAL 27 
 
 During his pastorate a fine organ was presented to 
 the church by one of its original members. 24 members 
 were united with the church during the four years he 
 remained with the church. Rev. H. F. Burdon, came to 
 the church in Sept. 1902, and is doing good work for the 
 church . 
 
 Free Baptist 
 
 The second and in some respects the oldest, was the 
 Free Baptist. Rev. Christopher Macy of this denomina- 
 tion it seems preached here as early as 1828. In IS-lT 
 this society united with the others in building a union 
 church which was sold to the Baptists in 1889. This 
 church had few regular pastors with long intervals in 
 which there was no preaching at all. 
 
 The first Baptist conference was held at Mechanic 
 Falls in the year 1855 and preaching was sustained one- 
 fourth of the time by Rev. A. K. P. Small. The church 
 was organized in September 1857, with forty-one members. 
 Following is a list of pastors: A. K. P. Small, D. D., 
 Adam Wilson, D. D., Abner Merrill, A. C. Herrick, L. 
 P. Gurney, R. J. Langradge, J.S. Studley, C. E. Harden, 
 and W. H. Clark. Messrs W. Swett, and R. Denning, 
 members of the church, occupied the pulpit at times. 
 R. B. Andrews, Eben Drake, A. B. Dwinal, Joseph 
 Buckman, S. Woodman, Gilman Thayer, and S. U. 
 Hawkes, have been deacons. Isaac P. Bumpus, A. B. 
 Dwinal and J. S. Merrill have been clerks. In 1888 the 
 
28 HISTORICAL 
 
 church was remodeled, repaired, and re-dedicated. Since 
 1898 the following have been pastors, T I. Sweat, J. N. 
 Stadley, E. C Harding, W. H. Clark, Chas. Chamber- 
 lain, Geo. Chase, L. H. Clark, Sidney Packard, W. H, 
 Whittier. 
 
 method ist 
 
 Mechanic Falls was made a station of the Methodist 
 church by the Maine Annual Conference, April 27, 
 1859, with Rev. J. C. Perry as pastor. Before this 
 time services by this denomination had been held in 
 the Union church, which was partly owned by Metho- 
 dists, a portion of the time by the pastors in charge of 
 the Poland church and circuit. A church edifice was 
 erected on Main Street and dedicated in 1860. This 
 was burned April 1, 1877. A new church was soon 
 erected and dedicated in 1880. Following is a list of 
 pastors: Rev. J. C. Perry, 1856, James McMillan, 1860; 
 Kinsman Atkinson, 1861; J. C. Perry, 1862-63; John 
 Woodbury, 1864; William H. Foster, 1865-66; John 
 Gibson, 1867-68; Joseph Hawkes, 1869-70; J. A. Fletch- 
 er, 1871; Daniel Waterhouse, 1872-74; W. B. Bartlett, 
 1875-77; J. H. Trask. 1878; H. Chase, 1879-80; Daniel 
 Church, 1881-83; W. S. Jones, 1885-87; C. F. Cobb, 
 1888-90; C. E. Springer, 1890; C. F. Parsons. 1891-92; 
 and G. C. Andrews, 1893. The parsonage was built in 
 1872. Since 1893 the Methodist Church was served by 
 the following men: 1893-94, G. C. Andrews; 1895-97, T.

 UNIVERSALIST CHURCH 
 
30 HISTORICAL 
 
 Universalist 
 
 It is recorded that the first Universalist sermon 
 ever preached in Mechanic Falls was by Rev. Zenas 
 Thompson in 1840. A church was organized April 8, 
 1862, and services held in Curtis Hall. A church was 
 built and dedicated in January 1864. Rev. A. G. 
 Gaines, D. D., was the first pastor and he has been 
 followed by Revs. Zenas Thompson, S. S. Davis, M. J. 
 Steere, C. S. Whitman, W. W. Hooper, W. S. Perkins, 
 R. F. Johonnet, G. G. Hamilton and F. E. Barton. 
 In 1875, the church was enlarged and a vestry, called 
 Murray Hall built underneath. Rev. W. E. Gaskin 
 was pastor of this church prior to Sept. 1903, follow- 
 ing his removal Rev. F. E. Barton, State Supt., Rev. 
 S. G. Davis and Rev. Elinor S. Forbes supplied in the 
 pulpit. Rev. F. H. Cole came in June, 1904. Mr. 
 F. A. Golderman has served as Sunday School Supt. 
 for about eight years. This church is the largest in 
 town, having a seating capacity of about 500. 
 
 Advents 
 
 The Adventists have held occasional meetings in 
 Mechanic Falls for many years and a yearly camp- 
 meeting was held at Pottle Grove for two decades or 
 
HISTORICAL 31 
 
 SO, until 1890, when the Androscoggin Camp Meeting 
 Association bought fifteen acres on the Lewiston road, 
 erected buildings and seats where their yearly meet- 
 ings are now held. A few years ago a church was 
 organized in town, holding their meetings in halls. 
 They have had two pastors, — Rev. J. A. Libby and 
 Rev. Mrs. Jessie Jordan. In 19('3 Mrs. Jordan resigned 
 but has frequently supplied the Church to the present 
 time. This Church is in a prosperous condition and its 
 membership has increased in the last twelve years about 
 one-third. The present clerk is H. B. King. 
 
 Educational Account 
 
 We cannot do better than to cast a glance toward 
 the typical common school as known in Maine in the 
 early days. Even as soon as our forefathers, almost 
 invariably of Puritan extraction had located themselves 
 in the forests of the Fine Tree State and began their 
 efforts of erecting churches, they made provisions for 
 the common school. They in common with us of to- 
 day considered education the bulwark of our institutions, 
 the institutions for the establishment of which they 
 had fought and bled. They knew therefore better 
 than we how much depended upon the proper guijl- 
 ance of the newly established government. They saw 
 their liberties and property, we had almost said wrapt 
 
32 HISTORICAL 
 
 up in the future of the new government, which Wash- 
 ington had said was "one today and thirteen tomor- 
 row." Is it a strange thing that these people who so 
 well understood the significance of these trying years, 
 should so thoroughly grasp at the thought that in ed- 
 ucation of the masses lay their only hope of ultimate 
 success? No, they saw well their duty and as pioneers 
 prepared to meet it. A room in the little log cabin 
 became the university of the wilderness, and humble 
 as was this first effort, might;*'^ results came from it. 
 From out of these rough, low-roofed structures walked 
 men who were yet to meet the representatives of the 
 courts of Europe, in the battlefield, in diplomacy, and in 
 scores of other capacities from which they were 
 emerged unscathed. This system of education went 
 on till it almost became a necessary thing for a man 
 to rea'^.h the president's chair that he be able to pre- 
 sent a career begun in "The Little Ked Schoolhouse" 
 in the backwoods hamlet. It was not that the people 
 loved wealth and culture less, but that they loved the 
 more the homely virtues inspired by healthy atmos- 
 phere of the country. And as we look back today 
 over the progress of our school system, we dwell with 
 pride upon the record it has made. But this system 
 like all others was expected to advance and it has ad- 
 vanced.

 HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING 
 
 The value of the public schools has ever been 
 recognized by the settlers and citizens of the towns of 
 Maine, and their support has been well provided for 
 from the first as a matter of course. The history of 
 the early schools of Mechanic Falls is the history of 
 
34 HISTORICAL 
 
 the towns of Poland and Minot. This part of those 
 towns comprised, on the Minot side, district No. 1, 
 established in 1831; and district No. 20 on the Poland 
 side of the river. These were the ungraded district 
 schools of a typical section and served the interests 
 of education as well as could be provided for. Along 
 in the sixties there arose a desire for better education- 
 al facilities and in 1867 a petition to Justice S. F. 
 Waterman, signed by E. G. Hawkes, A. C. Dennison, A. 
 T. Dennison, W. Hawkes, William Childs, J. A. Buck- 
 nam, E. M. Thurston, D. S. Perkins and J. S. Merrill 
 was made to call a meeting which resulted in the forma- 
 tion of a union district, comprised of the two districts 
 already mentioned. This district was formed March 30, 
 1867. Rev. A. G. Gaines, D. D., J. M. Eveleth, M. D., 
 Alanson Briggs and A. T. Dennison were elected to grade 
 the schools. 
 
 In 1871 the need of a new school building to accom- 
 modate the number and different grades of the scholars 
 in the village was deeply felt, which resulted in the 
 building of the brick school on Water Street, in which 
 until 1883 was held the high school. Nathaniel Cush- 
 man, J. S. Gerry, 0. B. Dwinal, O. B. Mooie and Alan- 
 son Briggs, were the building committee. It cost 
 $8863,85. 
 
 At a special meeting November 26, 1887, the town 
 of Poland abolished the district school system and 
 adopted the town system, thereby terminating the union 
 district, all but paying a debt of $2,000,00 on the Water 
 Street school house, which was raised at a special meet- 
 
HISTORICAL 35 
 
 ing held April 7, 1888. This left the Poland side without 
 adequate school buildings. On the annual meeting of 
 March 12, 1888, Poland voted to raise $5,000 to build a 
 suitable school building at Mechanic Falls. A fine 
 building was erected on Elm Street and completed in 
 season for the fall term of school of that year, at a cost 
 of $1:,942, under charge of W. W. Waterman and A. J. 
 Weston. 
 
 The schools are now well graded and are under the 
 successful management of F. L. Waterman, J. K. D en- 
 ning, and J. W. Wayne. J. M. Libby is superintendent, 
 Prof. H. Stewart is principal of the high school.

 riasons 
 
 The first of these societies to be organized in almost 
 every village was a Masonic Lodge. On January 21, 
 1853, a dispensation was granted to George 
 Moore, Daniel W. True, Nathaniel Bray, Augustus 
 Golderman, George Hathaway, Josiah Carr and Samuel 
 Atwood, to open and hold a Freemason's Lodjre in 
 Mechanic Falls, to be known as Fraternal Lodge. George

 of precedence from January 1, 1853. 
 
 Royal Arch Chapter 
 
 In 1872, nine months and twenty-six days dispensa- 
 tion was granted for a chapter of Royal Arch Masons at 
 Mechanic Falls, to be known as Union Royal Arch 
 Chapter. The Chapter held its first meeting October 8, 
 1872, and a charter was granted May 7, 1873, which was 
 consituted October 9, 1873. In 1882 a dispensation was

 Newspapers 
 
 The newspaper life of a village is always interesting 
 and Mechanic Falls has witnessed many attempts to 
 establish one within the narrow limits which its situation 
 assigns to journalism. 
 
 The Down Easter, published by William Cady. was 
 the first paper of the village, a small sheet whose life 
 was short. The Androscoggin Herald was started in 
 186Y by William Moody and John F. Moody. This con- 
 tinued several years and during this time the senior 
 proprietor became sole owner. He removed the plant 
 to Skowhegan. William Moody has been connected with 
 the Somerset Reporter, The Woman's Journal and Bos- 
 ton Herald, and his brother John, has been the successful 
 principal of Hebron, andBridgton Academies and at pres- 
 ent of Edward Little High School. After an interval in 
 which no paper was published, the Herald was resur- 
 rected by Wm. H. Clark & Son, and published several 
 years, when it was removed to Auburn. 
 
 Shortly after the removal of the Herald, the Citizen 
 was established by Charles S. Allen and Charles Moore. 
 After a year or so, Moore sold out to Allen, who run it 
 several years then sold out to Thurston & Garland. In 
 a year or two the senior partner, Mr. H. E. Thurston, 
 sold his share to the junior partner and his father, who 
 continued until 1882, when the paper was discontinued. 
 In 1884 the Mechanic Falls Ledger was established by H. 
 
HISTORICAL 43 
 
 A. Poole and F. L. Davis. Davis soon sold out to Poole 
 and shortly after G. W. Poole was admitted to the firm, 
 under the name of Poole Brothers. They run in connec- 
 tion with the Ledger, a book and job printing establish- 
 ment. This firm failed in 1892 and the Ledger was 
 discontinued in March of that year. The plant of this 
 company was purchased in June of the same year by 
 Charles E. Waterman, F. H. McDonald and F. L. Perk- 
 ins, who re-established the Ledger on the first day of 
 July, 1892. 
 
 Besides these papers devoted to local matters, a 
 monthly devoted to the Masonic Relief Association was 
 published by W. E. Merrill and The Bee-Keepers' advanc- 
 ed by J, B. Mason & Sons. In the spring of 1892, the 
 Weekly News was established by E. F. Edgecomb, but 
 run only three months. 
 
 Book making has been indulged in by the citizens of 
 the village to a limited extent. Mrs, Julia Schayer made 
 the village her residence a portion of the time during the 
 seventies and incorporated a part of her experience here 
 in a book entitled "Tiger Lily". Rev, M. J. Steere, who 
 was once pastor of the Universalist church, was the 
 author of a book called "Footprints Heavenward." In 
 1890 a History of Poland was published by H. A. and G. 
 W. Poole which had the peculiarity of being written by 
 Poland men, set up, electrotyped and printed by Poland 
 workmen, in a Poland office and on paper manufactured 
 in the same town. In 1892 Dr. E. F. Bradford published 
 a medical work entitled "A Handbook of Emergencies 
 and Common Ailments," which has had a large sale.

 sible. In these families, in addition to the resident living mem- 
 bers, the names of non-resident members are included. At the end 
 of the Census of each town wall be found these Non-residents

 cate the occupation of the several people in town. These abbre- 
 viations are placed opposite the name. Some of the abbreviations
