Especially is that of the region of the Penob- scot Valley. This race of men is the subject of pity as well as of hatred, hated for their cruelty, and pitied for their misfortune at the hands of their more civilized fellows, the Anglo-Saxons. We of a later day can look upon this race in a spirit of greater fairness than could our ancestors whose view of the red man was obscured by his late acts of rapine and plunder. As we read history let us remember that they were struggling to retain their own domain, to defend their "Fatherland" against the acts of the aggressive pale face whose deeds of power we delight to honor. TRIBES OF THE PENOBSCOT In our brief sketch we cannot attempt to trace in full the descent of the Indian tribes of this region. It is unnecessary. We will begin by stating that the Indians of the state of Maine generally were divided into the following tribes : The G HISTORICAL Sokokis, of the Saco river region; the Anasagunticooks or Abenakis, of the Androscoggin and lower Kennebec region; the Canibas,of the Norridgewock region; and the Warenocks of the eastern part of Maine as now known. Of these the latter are to us most interesting. Another almost sonony- mous name for this tribe is the Etchemin tribe. This tribe however included the Indians to the extreme headwaters of the Penobscot and the St. John River. This tribe is usually divided into three divisions, viz: those on the St. John; those of the Passamaquoddy: and the Tarratines of the Penob- scot, of whom we are most concerned. It is undoubtedly true that this tribe is the ancestor of the present remnant known as the Penobscot tribe. This tribeclaimed dominion over the entire Penobscot Valley from the headwaters to the sea. Concerning these Indians we here quote Mr. Williamson as follows : "They were a numerous, powerful and warlike people, more hardy and brave than their western enemies, whom they often plundered and killed, and according to Hubbard and Price, kept the Sycamores between the Piscat- aqua and the Mistic in perpetual fear. After the conquests and glory achieved in their battles with the Babshaba and his allies, they were not, like their enemies, wasted by disease and famine. They retained their valor animated by success and strengthened by the early use and supply of firearms, with which they were furnished by the French. The Tarra- tines ever manifested the greatest satisfaction in their inter- course with the French. No fortifications upon the penins- ula of Major Biguyduce, or buildings in the vicinity, excited HISTORICAL 7 either fear or jealousy in them, for no rising plantations of the French threatened them with the loss of their lands or privileges. A barter of their furs for guns, ammunition and trinkets was managed with afreedotn and a directness which won and secured their attachments. Their companionable manners and volatile turn made the bonds strong and last- ing. The Tarratines have probably at different periods shifted the situation of their principal village. At the mouth of the Kenduskeag they had a common resting place when the white people first settled in that vicinity a place to which they were from habit strongly attached. Here the mouldering relics of human bodies, also flint spears, stone implements of labor, and Indian paint-dust have been acci- dentally disinterred after a burial ol an unknown period of time. The Tarratines were neutral in the war of the Revo- lution. In return Massachusetts, of which this region was a part at that time, protected them and prohibited all tres- pass upon their lands six miles in width on each side of the Penobscot, from the Head ol Tide upwards. The State from time to time bought large tracts of land from them till their territory was greatly diminished in size. These Indians when they were first seen by the whites, dwelt on both sides of the river aud in conjunction with the other tribes, roamed the whole of the state of Maine to the westward of this region. That they wandered far from their Penobscot home is evident. One historian asserts that the chief, Samoset who met the English at Plymouth with the words "Welcome Englishmen" in their own tongue was a Tarratine, and came from the Island of Monhegan. HISTORICAL WARS OF THE TARRATINES The Indian seemed to be fated to be the opponent of the Englishman; in religion, and personal make up the English- man was at a very serious disadvantage as compared with the Frenchman with his vivacious ways, and his attractive and impressive religious services. It is probable that the most of the English had serious intentions and an honest purpose to deal justly with the red man. Their charters called for religious training, forbade the sale of liquors to them and in everyway enjoined their training in the channels of civilization. But the Frenchman did all in his power to engender the spirit of animosity which was early started in the breast of the savage. Only one result could possibly be and that was war. But though the Indians were gradually drifting to hostilities they were hurled headlong into an open conflict by Weymouth's infamous seizure of five of their tribe in 1605. In 1631 or 1632 there was an outbreak between the Tarratines and their rivals but the conflict was not long prolonged nor bloody. The great war with the Mohawks about 1663 greatly discomforted the Tarratines, their dreaded enemies following them even to the banks of the Penobscot, burning their dwellings, and doing great harm in accordance with Indian warfare. Soon Small Pox devastated the tribe till it was almost exterminated. No further action in warfare was participated in by these Indians till the coming of Maj. Church in 1694, who laid HISTORICAL 9 waste their fields and killed several of the natives. In 1722 Lovewell's War opened and lasted three years. The war was thus named for Capt. Lovewell of Dunstable, the hero of the battle of Pequaket. The warfare- was carried to the Penob- scot Valley, and began at the arrival of Col. Thomas West- brook in 1723. This expedition was made up of two hun- dred and thirty. They scurried the coast of Alt. Desert in whaling boats and small vessels, and then proceeded up the Penobscot, anchoring at Marsh Island, it is stated, on March 4 of that year. Here they left their boats and began a five days march through the forests near the river. At the Old Indian Fort which they found deserted the company destroyed everything of value. It is stated that this Fort was situated in Orono about six miles above Kenduskeag. After the destruction of the buildings about the Fort the whites returned. About two years later when the Tarratines had rebuilt the village, Capt. Joseph Heath with his com- pany crossed the country and attacked the village, laying it in ashes. No Indian was found. The village was never rebuilt, Oldtown being the place finally settled upon as their future abode. In October, 1723, a vessel landing at Mt. Des- ert, Capt. Coggswell commanding, was attacked by the Indians, the whole crew being captured. The wars being- over the Indians returned to their usual custom, hunting and fishing. Gradually, by treaty and by other courses the English came into possession of the lands along the Penob- scot. The Indians were greatly cheated in these deals, but managed to retain possession of certain tracts, and to this day have control of a large number of Islands in the Penob- 10 HISTORICAL scot. They also have a large sum in the hands of the state which is holden as a perpetual fund for their support on which the state pays interest annually. In all the Indian tribe receives not far from $8,000 per year from different sources. The treatment of these Indians on the Penobscot by the state of Maine is in marked contrast with that of Massachusetts when this whole region was a part of that commonwealth. Everything of practical value to them is done for their protection and benefit. EARLY SETTLEMENT. The first white men to settle in the town of Orono came here in 1774 and their names were Jeremiah Colburn and Joshua Eayres. Concerning their early stay here in Orono no better account can be given than to state the petition which they presented to the General Court of Massachusetts concerning the lands they had improved along the Penob- scot River in this viciuity. The following is the petition : (From Orono Centennial History.) To the honourable the Council and House of Representa- tives of the State, the Colony Massachusetts Bay, in General Court assembled at Watertown : The Petition of Jeremiah Colburn and Joshua Eayres, of Penobscot River, humbly showeth: That your petitioners have been settlers on Penobscot River for a number of years, and that your petitioners wer e HISTORICAL 11 obliged to quit their settlements, after making great im- provements on their lands, by order of proprietors, or per- sons pretending to own or claim the land, to their great damage, and had no place to go to*. Your petitioners went father up the river and settled on wild and unimproved lands, five miles above any settlement, where they thought no person could claim to turn them off. They built two dwelling houses, one half a saw mill, cleared a road to a meadow six miles, cleared another road to the inhabitants five miles, and cleared and improved a considerable tract of land, and built the other half of the mill by being assist- ed by other people. Your petitioners began to build said dwelling house and mill in July 1774, and in October follow- ing moved our families upon the land, and there continued until May following; in the mean time the Indians of the Penobscot tribe were continually at our houses, and we were always ready to assist them in anything they requested, and always welcomed to any provisions they desired, which your petitioners have given them to the value of thirty pounds, lawful money, at least, and were always kindly treated by us. And in May, 1775, your petitioners, being- apprehensive of some danger from reports that the Cana- dian ladians intended to assist the people of Great Britian that might come across the country and destroy us, thought ifc most safe to move in to the inhabitants. Y 7 our petition- ers moved their families and effects and remained from May to August following, and one of us from May 1775 to June, 1776. All this while your petitioners were urged by the Indians to return to our settlements, and promised we 12 HISTORICAL should enjoy our possessions, and they would protect and support us in the same; but since being acquainted that they had a promise of the lands from the Massachusetts Congress in June, 1775, we would not move again until they gave us their word that we should enjoy peaceably our possessions. In dependence of the same, we moved our families up the time above mentioned, and since have heard they have re- solved, in council amongst themselves, that every family shall be removed above the line that was settled by the Con- gress in June 1775. They say they have a promise when the General Court next sits, that there will be an order to turn us off, in consequence of which they have told all the inhabit- ants within their limits to get in readiness to move off when they gather their harvests. Your petitioners are al- ways ready to comply with any rule, order, or regulation, as your Honours shall direct. Your petitioners would in- form your Honours that we have spent all our substance in this settlement, and which renders us so poor, we are not able to move our families away. Your petitioners most humbly pray your Honours to take their difficult circumstances into your wise considera- tion, and grant them such relief as you in your great wis- dom' shall see meet. And your petitioners, as in duty bound shall ever pray. Jeremiah Colburn, Joshua Eayres. Penobscot Hiver, 16th August, 1776. HISTORICAL 13 Sept. 5th, 1776. — The Committee to whom was referred the consideration of the above petition, have attended to that service, and beg leave to report that the petitioners have leave to withdraw the same. Jedediah Preble, per order. Mr. Colburn and Mr. Eayres were, however, never dis- turbed in their possessions. As appears in the above petition the first houses were built in this town in 1774. Mr. Eayres owned the island in the Basin which has been known to all later citizens of the town as "Eayres' Island." This island he sold and removed to Passadumkeag in 1800. His daughter, Esther, born April 30,1777, was the first white child born in this town. Mr. Colburn continued to reside in town till his death, which occurred in 1808. It is believed that his birth place was Dracut, Mass. The date of birth is set at 1726. He married Fannie Hodgkins and they were living in Brewer as early as 1773 for on that year Mr. Colburn came to Orono and viewed the prospects for his future home. The follow- ing year he moved here accompanied by John Marsh who later married his daughter Sarah. In 1775 when, as we have seen heretofore, Mr. Colburn and Mr. Eayres moved out of this town, it is said that they buried their household effects and crossed the strip of coun- try to the Kennebec valley and decended the river Kennebec to Pittston. Later he was at Camden where he was taken prisoner by the British and carried to Castine. On an ex- change he returned to Orono. Here he found that his house 14 HISTORICAL had been destroyed but that his goods were still in existence. Mr. Colbnrn owned a large part of the land which is the site of the present village of Orono. John Marsh, the "Interpreter," a son-in-law of Jeremiah Colburn was born in Mendon, Mass., in 1749, and came to Orono in 1774 as noted previously with Mr. Colburn. Mr. Marsh became the friend and confidante of the tribe of Indians at this point. He lived always peaceably and tran- quilly with them — having won their confidence and intense regard. They made him a large grant of land, known to this day as Marsh Island which grant was confirmed to him by the state. He had obtained as a hunter and guide some knowledge of the land before coming here. He was also familiar with much of the region in central Maine. He accom- panied Messrs. Colburn and Eayres to Winslow and Pittston when they covered that route and he later piloted a com- pany of troops through the forest to that same point. Returning, he piloted the force of the U. S. Corvette, Adams, from Hampden, after the disgraceful abandonment of the defense at that point. He died in this town in 1814. Captain Abram Tourtellotte, born in 1744, came to this town from Rhode Island in 1781, and settled on the Bangor road on the Page farm. Here he made his clearing, and remained thirty-eight years till his death in 1819. Samuel White was born in Mendon, Mass., in 1760, and came to this town in 1784. He married Fanny, a daughter of Jeremiah Colburn. He settled near Upper Stillwater, but moved to the island on which for many years his son, Daniel White, lived. His death occurred in 1829, on the 19th of HISTORICAL 15 January. His wife's death occurred less than a year pre- vious on April 2, 1828. Daniel White above mentioned, was a very prominent lumberman. He was always a very competent business man and was respected for his strict honesty. Mr. Washburn said of him that he was perhaps the only man on the Penob- scot river, previous to 1850 who carried on a lumbering business for ten or more years who preserved his credit. Col. Daniel Jameson a shipmaster by profession, a native of the town of Freeport, Maine, was another early settler of this town, coming here in 1785, where he married Betsy Col- burn. Capt. Jameson was lost in a ship at sea during a voyage in November, 1798, from Boston to Bangor. Joseph Page came here about the time of the close of the War or a little later, from Rhode Island. He settled on the Bangor Road on a farm later occupied by James Page. It is said that during the Revolution he lived in a house near Mt. Hope in Bangor whence he was driven by the British for refusing to take the oath of allegiance to the British Crown. His house was burned to the ground, and the stock stolen and driven away. One of the inteiesting characters of the town of Orono and one without which the history of the town would lose much of its interest, and amusing side, at least, is Antoine Lachance. He was born in Quebec in 1750 or a year later. A previous writer says of him: "In his declaration made August 28, 1832, to obtain a pension, he says 1751, but in deposition given in 1837, he says, he was nine years old when Quebec was taken by Wolfe. He was thus twenty-four 16 HISTORICAL or five years of age when Montgomery made his attack upon that city. He also states that he enlisted in the army of the United States in 1775 with Capt. Livingstone's company, and served in Col. Livingstone's regiment; that the troops were under the command of Gen. Arnold; that he was taken prisoner in June 1776, escaped, re-enlisted in the service" continuing a very creditable record, closing his services with serving under Maj. Ulmer at Castine. Here William Colburn, the elder, said he served with him, in the same company. Lachanceleft the service at the close of the war, married, and removed to Orono, not far from 1795. As he was known by his Christian name, as a general rule, his children were not known by Lachance but by Antoine, and the name was dropped in Orono after this generation. He is remembered for his many peculiarites. He was nob renowned for his reli- ability, yet was kindly of disposition, and very genial of nature. He died in this town on August 6, 1839. Robert, John, Joshua and Joseph Treat came to the town of Orono from Frankfort before the year 1790. They were fishermen and lumbermen largely, by occupation. The family has so far as we know no descendants in town at this time. ''William Lunt moved into what is nowOldtown as early as 1785/' Abram Freese accompanied by three sons, John, Retire W. and Isaac, came here from Bangor in 1790. Mr. Freese is noted as being the first settler to erect a framed house in this town. He settled on a lot on the Stillwater road, after- ward occupied so many years by his son Retire W. who lived HISTORICAL 17 and died on the same farm mentioned above. Retire W. died in 1860. He married Fanny White, daughter of Samuel White, Esq. He was a member of the Maine Legis- lature in 1839. Another early settler in Orono was ('apt. David Read from Topsham. He was the builder of the second frame house in town, building the same in 1800. The location on which he built was very near that of the town hall burned in 1891. The house was used also as the first hotel in town run by Perez Graves. The hist meeting for the election of town officials was held at this house on April 7, 1806. In 1786 Capt. Read built a mill on the site of the old stone mill. About 1795 Andrew Webster came to Orono. He became one of the very substantial citizens of the town and was prominent in her affairs for many years. He was born in Salisbury, Mass., came to Brunswick in early life, later to Topsham where he married Martha Craue, moved toCastine, from there to Bangor and lastly to Orono. He died in 1807. His son, Col. Ebenezer Webster, was destined to hold a prominent place in business life, and in the hearts of his fellows. As a business man his enterprise was felt far beyond the borders of his own community and along the Penobscot for many miles he was heavily concerned in many branches of business — chiefly lumbering. He was a very per- severing man and though not always successful his fierce determination forged him ahead and success was usually his at the end. He was known most favorably as a neighbor, as he was one of the warmest hearted of men. He enter- 02 18 HISTORICAL tained very largely for his time, and his house was always made the abode of cheerfulness and geniality which won the everlasting respect and regard of his vast number of friends and acquaintances. Joseph Inman was also one oi the early arrivals here. He occupied the farm later owned by John Reed. Some descendants of his are among our population today. In 1792 or 1793, Capt. Francis Wyman came here. He was a native of Pnippsburg. He married Martha, a daugh- ter of Andrew Webster. His death occurred in Feb. 1857 on the farm he had so long occupied on the Upper Stillwater road. Another of the early comers was Archibald McPheters who came from Arrowsic to Bangor in 1771 and to Orono in 1795 and settled on the Bangor road. William Duggaus was an early settler who came here before 1800 and occupied the farm next to John Read's on the Bangor road. There were several families of Spencers in town in the early days but little information is known concerning them. Ard Godfrey came here in 1798 from Taunton, Mass., and settled on the Stillwater road nearest the Oldtown line. He was a millwright and handed his trade down to his sons. He was a respected and popular citizen. His death occurred in 1843. George Ring, senior, came to Orono in 1800 and occu- pied the house built by Joshua Eayres when the latter moved to Passadumkeag. Mr. Ring was born in Georgetown, Maine, in 1759, and married Margaret Foster. He died in HISTORICAL 19 1812 and his wife the year following;. We have given the above few items gathered from various sources chiefly from Mr. Washburn's highly interest- ing; and instructive address in the hope they may be of some service in perpetuating- the names and points of iuterest in relation to the men and wom^u who paved the way for our civilization. We can never properly appreciate the perse- verance and determination which were the lot of the pioneer. Well did they build in both matter and in mind. Thelessons their lives havefor us is that we emulate in our day and gen- eration, some, at least, of the sound virtues and judgment they so signally developed and handed down to us. 20 HISTORICAL INCORPORATION The town of Orono was styled Stillwater Plantation for many years In fact for some score of years previous to 1806 this name clung to what political organization there was at this point. We have had brought to our notice the statement that the place was first called "Dead Water," but one Owen Madden, a discharged British soldier who taught school here for several years, suggested that the present name would be far preferable. Thus came the present term, Stillwater. This name has had in more recent years a still farther change, being changed to two terms, viz., Upper and Lower Stillwater. The former is applied to the village up the river some two miles to distinguish it from the first and principal village. On the 12th of March, 180(5, the General Court of Mas- sachusetts took action upon the incorporation of Stillwater into a town. The act was entitled as follows: "An Act to incorporate the Plantation heretofore called Stillwater, in the County of Hancock, into a Town by the Name of Orono. This name was taken in honor of the Tarratine chief who is so favorably remembered in our history as a friend of the whites in and out of season. At the time of the incorporation there was no Census of the town in existence. It is estimated at about 300 souls. HISTORICAL 21 Richard Wjnslo.w, justice of the Peace, called the first town meeting for choice of officers in a warrant dated March 27, 1806, aud the meeting occurred on April 7th following. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the meeting was held at the house of Capt. David Read. The officers chosen at this meeting were: Aaron Bliss, town clerk; Richard Winslow, Moses Aver- ill and John Read, selectmen; Andrew Webster, treasurer; and Ard Godfrey, constable and collector; Allen Bliss, John Read, William Col burn and Ebenezer Webster, hogreeves, fenceviewers and field-drivers. The town raised the sum of seventy-five dollars to pay town charges, one thousand dollars for highways, and noth- ing for the support of schools. They voted to build three pounds and to fence the cemetery. Mr. Washburn mirthfully remarks in his Centennial address: "Having made these pro- visions to prevent the straying of the cattle and the dead they seem to have thought it reasonable to let the children run at large/' The year 1807 witnessed the recording of Orono's vote in favor of separation from Massachusetts by a vote of 37 tol. Later Jackson Davis was a delegate to Portland in 1819 to form a Constitution for the now proposed new state. After the rival villages of Stillwater and Oldtown, as they came to be called, had grown to importance in business and population, they were, in 1840, amicably divided and two separate towns established. The act of division and incorporation was passed March 16, 1840. In this division 22 HISTORICAL more than two-thirds of the territory was set off to form Oldtown, leaving Orono one of the smallest townships in the state. At the U. 8. census taken the following June, the pop- ulation of Orono was 1521, of Oldtown, 2345— or 3866 in both towns. By act of the Legislature of 1841, Orono aud Glenburn were classed together for Representatives, and Israel Washburn, Jr., (afterward Governor) was elected for 1842. Previous to the division of the town a village corpora- tion, authorized by the Legislature Feb. 16, 1837, had been maintained, but after 1840, being no longer necessary, it was discontinued.

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 always of Puritani- cal extraction, had located themselves in the forests of the Pine Tree State and begun their efforts of erecting churches, they made provisions for the common schools. They, in com- mon with us of today, considered education the bulwark of our instutions, the instutions for the establishment of which they had fought and bled. They knew, therefore, better than we how much depended upon the proper guidance of the newly established government. They saw their liberties and prosperity wrapped up in the new government which Washington had said was "one today and thirteen tomor- row." Is it a strange thing that these men who so well understood the significance of these tr\ing years, should so thoroughly grasp at the thought that in the education 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 were the first efforts, mighty HISTORICAL 27 results came from them. From out of these rough low- roofed structures walked men who were yet to meet the rep- resentatives of the courts of P]urope, in the battlefield, in diplomacy, and in scores of other capacities from which they emerged unscathed. This system went on until it became almost a necessary thing for a man to reach the president's chair that he be able to present a career begun in the "little red schoolhouse" in the back-woods hamlet. It was not that the people loved wealth and culture less, but that they loved the more the homely virtues inspired by the health}' atmosphere of the country. 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 advanced. The town of Orono has, in common with other towns, reared the homely structures on the hillsides and at the cross roads, hired male teachers at $10 to $ 15 a month, and female teachers at 75 cents to $ 1.50 a week, and this with the "board round" pro- vision. We are informed that the first school house erected in the village was situated on the lot next the Congregational church. This two story house was afterwards moved to the lot just south of the Universalist church where it now stands. This was built in 1828. The next was the old brick school house on the Webster side. Next was a red school house near the sight of the present railroad station on the lot now occupied for the same purpose. The next was erected on Main St., and the fifth on High St. This is now used as a grammar school. The old high school building, erected in 28 HISTORICAL 1861 is now used for the grammar grades, the building hav- ing been fitted up for the purpose. During the last year the excellent new high school building was erected on Main St. at a cost of $ 17,000. This is well equipped to do valuable service to the succeeding generation. The new Pine St. school house was erected during 1901, at a cost of from three to four thousand dollars. There are now seven school buildings located in the vil- lage, and three rural schools in the town. All are in good condition and doing work that is a credit to those who have the matter in charge, and to those who have dispensed edu- cation and administered the rod during the lasthalfcentury. This was about the first town in the state to adopt the graded system. This was done previous to 1850. There are four grades. The town is justly proud of her schools, and of the men and women who have here laid the founda- tion for a higher course, for which they need not leave town, and of those who have here fitted for lives of usefulness and honor. UNIVERSITY OF MAINE In common with most all other colleges of its class inthe United States, the Maine State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts had its origin in the well-known act of Con- gress providing for the establishment of the land-grant col- leges approved by President Lincoln, July 2, 1862. The first session of the legislature of Maine alter the passage of the act was in the winter of 1862-8. The late Hon. Abner HISTORICAL 29 Coburn, whose name is so intimately and beneficently asso- ciated with the entire history of this college, was governor of the state. In his opening message to the legislature he called attention to the act with cBaracteristic brevity, as follows: "There can be no doubt, I think, that vast benefit will flow from this act, and I have no hesitation in urging upon you the prompt acceptai ce of its terms and condi- tions." Now that the subject was before the legislature, the question of acceptance was the first to confront its members. It was a new problem. The average legislator approached it warily. The State Board of Agricultnre favored accept- ance. The gift tendered the state was prospectively valu- able, and must not be lost by default. The legisbiture voted to accept the grant. This was an important step, because such acceptance pledged the state to the support <»f at least one college "to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes." — Hist, of Education in Maine The next step was to choose a location. Liberal offers were held out by both Colby college and by Bowdoin college to unite with them; but through the influence of Hon. S. L. Goodale, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, Hon. Phineas Barnes, and Dr. Ezekiel Holmes, editor of the Maine Farmer, it was decided to establish a separate institution. The bill for its organization was prepared by Hon. Phineas Barnes, and thirteen men, one from each county in the state, were chosen as trustees. The first meeting of the board of trustees was held at the State House in Augusta, April 25, 1865, and organized by the choice of S. L. Goodale, clerk; Hannibal Hamlin, president of the board; and Phineas 30 HISTORICAL Barnes, treasurer. The choice of a location was yet to be decided; and, withal, was a delicate problem. Lands in different towns were examined, and in September, 1865, a motion to locate the college in Topsham was lost by a vote of 6 to 5. At a meeting at Augusta, January 25, 1866, the board voted to locate at Orono, the vote being 8 in favor and 7 against it. The farm on which the college is located was given b} r the towns of Orono and Old Town and cost $11,000. It is located on Marsh Island, on the Stillwater River, one mile from the village of Orono, and nine miles from the city of Bangor. The land originally constituted two large farms, one of which was settled and occupied for half a century by the French Canadian, Antoine Lachance, who was a famous character and served under Montgomery at Quebec. The next move was to reduce the number of trustees to a more wieldy body. This was effected, and the new board, consisting of seven members selected for fitness rather than location, was organized and Hon. Abner Coburn chosen president, S. L. Goodale, clerk, and Isaiah Stetson, treasurer. Many difficulties confronted the new board, but gradually they were removed or surmounted. The two existing farm- houses were fixed up to serve, one for the first professor and the other for the temporary residence of the farm superin- tendent. Wingate Hall was erected, but did not reach com- pletion until the following year. The first class, numbering 12 students, was admitted September 1-1, 1868. Samuel Johnson, A. M., had been cho- sen farm superintendent and instructor in agriculture, and HISTORICAL 31 Merritt C. Female, A. M., professor of mathematics. At the beginning of the second year Stephen F. Peckbam, A. M., of Rhode Island, was added to the faculty in the capacity of professor of chemistry. Additions* were frequently made thereafter so that by the close of the year 1870 no less than 11 different individuals were connected with the institution in one capacity or another in connection with the faculty. Military instruction was required by the act of endowment and was first given by Capt. Henry E. Sellers, of Bangor. EXPERIMENT STATION By virtue of an act of Congress known as the Hatch Bill, approved March 2, 1887, and an act of the Maine legislature in conformity therewith, a department in the college was established in 1887, designated the Maine p]xperimental Station. This department receives from the National Government $15,000 annually lor its support, and has for its object the investigations into agricultural science and experimentation with reference to practical agriculture. In the year 1897, the college was changed to a univer- sity, and the name •'University of Maine" adopted. Thus was this important institution established, and it has continued to increase its efficiency and resources until now it is one of the most effective schools in the country. The faculty is large and its individual members fully realize the importance of keeping up the high standard of scholar- ship which is so well established. 32 HISTORICAL CHURCH AFFAIRS The early church was the principal, and often the only, social organization during; the days when the homes of the scattered settlers were separated by the forest, and only connected by bridle paths marked by the spotted line. It was then the custom for every one to attend sacred worship, and to look after the occasional delinquent in the matter, tything men were chosen at the town meetings. The differ- ent denominations generally had a small following in each locality who agreed to erect a meeting-house for their mut- ual use, each furnishing a preacher of their choice at their stipulated time. Previous to this the services were held either at the homes of the members, or in the schoolhouse in the center of the settlement. METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH The Methodists were the first to gain much strength as a denomination in Orono. They held a Quarterly meeting here in 1829 at the house of Mrs. Daniel Jameson. At this time they were holding regular services and a well organized society. The church was made a station in 1829, with a regular pastor. Previous to this it had formed a part of Bangor circuit. In 1833 and '34, during the pastorate of the Rev. Mark Trafton, the church building was erected. During the pastorate of the Rev. Caleb Fuller, 1836-8 a parsonage was HISTORICAL 33 built and large additions made to the membership. The organ was placed in the church in 1854. The church build- in g was repaired during the pastorate of the Rev. J. W. Day, in 1867-8, and again thoroughly remodeled and enlarged in 1891 nnder the leadership of the pastor, Rev. F. H. Morgan. The old parsonage was supplanted by the present handsome and modern house in 1901, during the pastorate of the Rev. W. B. Dukeshire. The present membership numbers 140, with a large constituency, and a Sunday School numbering about 200 officers, teachers and scholars, and an Epworth League under efficient leadership. The officers of the church consist of the Rev. Horace B Haskell, Ph. B., graduate of the East Maine Seminary, Taylor University, and Garrett Biblical Institute. He received his ordination as Elder in 1900, and assumed his present charge in April, 1904, com- ing to Orono from a most successful pastorate in Dexter. Prof. C. B. Woods, at the head of the State Agricultural Ex- periment Station, University of Maine, is Superintendent of the Sunday School. The board of trustees comprises H. J. Woods, president; F. L. Russell, Secretary; Wm. Bolstridge, Albert White, A. F. Lewis, W. A French, C. J. Shaw, F. C. Park and Alfred Clifford. The board of Stewards comprises Wm. Bolstridge, H. J. Woods, Joshua Deering, F. L Rus- sell, K. P. Harrington, W. A.Spenser, Alfred Clifford, Eugene Haley, C. D. Woods, J. H. Huddleston, J. T. Beale, and C. J. Shaw. The president of the Ladies' Aid Society is Mrs. Thomas Gilbert. CHURCH ACCOUNT We have been unable to get accounts of all of the churches in town to complete this chapter; the others will be found in the Appendix at the end of the Census. ,,:: 34 HISTORICAL PROFESSIONAL MEN HON. ISRAEL WASHBURN Israel Washburn. LL. D , was born in Livermore, June 6, 1813. He was educated for the bar, and settled in Orono in December, 1834. He contiuued his practice until about 1860. He was a member of the state legislature in 1842 and representative from the Penobscot district in the 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th, and 36th Congresses. He resigned Jan. 1, 1861, having been elected governor of the State of Maine in 1860. He was re-elected in September, 1861, and declined a subsequent election. In 1863 he was appointed by Presi- dent Liucoln collector of the port of Portland, and held that office for many years. He was a Universalist, and a presi- dent of the board of trustees of Tufts College. At the cen- tenial celebration of the settlement of Orono he delivered the address which was a valuable historical account of the town, and was subsequently published. The same year he also published "Notes on Livermore" which is a valuable historical account of that, his native town. He died May, 15, 1883. He came from the most noted family of Maine. He had six brothers and three sisters. Of the brothers, all became prominent especinlly in the public service. In the Andro- scoggin County History we learn that this one family has given to the nation four members of Congress from four different states, one secretary of state, two foreign minis- ters, two governors of two different states, one major gen- eral in the United States Army, and one captain in the U. S. army. HISTORICAL 35 MILITARY MATTERS The military history of a town, however brief, is a source oi much interest and satisfaction. Of interest to the pres- ent generation and of satisfaction to the past. The story of the soldier who risks home, and as-sociatious, and busi- ness opportunities, and in a large number of cases, life itself, performs a service which is destined to live and be appre- ciated b} T the most of his couutrymeu so long as there shall be a semblance of appreciation in the hearts of the citizen. No greater service can be rendered than to risk ones life for the welfare of the country. None is more deserving of the best rewards of which the nation is capable. The history of Orono in this particular, is one of satis- faction. A most patriotic population faced the propositions of the civil war and met them manfully. The War of the Revolution was in full blast ere the woods of Orono had been accustomed to the ring of the settler's axe, and consequently the place had no part in the conflict as a municipality. But several of her citizens who came here later, and whom from the time of their arrival were so closely united to the inter- ests of the town, that we feel like claiming the honor of their services. During the War of 1812, and especially at the battle of Hamden, was this town well represented. When the British came up the Penobscot to Hamden, a company of militia went from Orono, under the command of Captain (after- 36 HISTORICAL wards Colonel) Ebenezer Webster. It is said this company was the last to leave the field, and that it received the order to do so with intense disgust. CIVIL WAR At the breaking out of the Civil War this town responded to the first call for troops, and ever after wpre her quotas promptly and cheerfully filled by the voluntary enlistment of her noble men, whose services on the battlefield speak of the patriotism and zeal which prompted their voluntary enlist- ment, and the sacrifices which they made, that they might render their country their best services at the time of her greatest peril. To these men who so nobly and successfully gave their services is due the everlasting respect and honor of a free and united country. No generation of its citizens should fail to recognize the value of the services they rendered, nor that to them is due the fact that today we are living in the grand- est country now in existence. The following is a list of those who enlisted from Orono. This list we have compiled from the Maine Adjutant Gene- ral's reports, but do not submit this as a complete list. W. A. Averill,D. H.

Nor was this patriotic town without representation in the Spanish-American war, for four of her sons were enlisted in the American aru^. These were Walter Deane, John Mc- Golf, and Messrs. McPheters and Shatney. HISTORICAL 39 INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT Here, as in other Maine towns, the first industry neces- sarily was the manufacture of lumber, from the ubiquitous forest tree. Mills for this purpose were located on the brooks and smaller rivers, and here this industry grew to be the principal commercial feature to our hardy and industrious ancestry, as well as to succeeding generations. Connected with these early saw mills there was generally a grist mill for preparing meal from the Indian corn which formed the staple source of subsistence in the pioneer days. The first mill to be constructed in Orono— that referred to by Messrs. Colburn and Eayres in their petition — was built, it is said, on the south side of the Stillwater, near a small island, not far from the location of the old match fac- tory. Later, Capt. David Read built another saw mill on thesame location. Gradually the number of mills multiplied, among others being the old Greely mill, built by John Gor- don about 1805. The old stone mill, located on the right where Capt. Read had built a mill in 178G, was erected at an early date, and was rebuilt in 1817 by Col. Eben Webster, Jr. Col. Webster was engaged in the business of lumbering from an early age almost to the time of his death in 1855. He erected and operated several saw mills here, being one of the leading men of that industry. Another of the pioneer lumbermen, and one of the most successful of all who have followed this important industry in this town, was Daniel White. Mr. Washburn says, "He 40 HISTORICAL was, perhaps, the only man on Penobscot river who, prior to 1850, had carried on for a period of ten or more years, the business of lumbering, and always preserved his credit intact and unsuspected." Col. Webster and John H. Pillsburyvvere often partners with him. John Benuoch was another of the early lumbermen, who with Mr. Harrison, operated mills here prior to either of the last mentioned mnn. Asa VV. Babcock came here from Augusta soon after 1820 and entered into the lumber manu- facturing business. He controlled considerable capital and was a man of exceptional ability. For a term of ten years, he was more extensively engaged in the lumbering trade, and especially in its manufacture, than any other man in the town, and was scarcely rivaled in the county or state. The great land speculation occurred during the years between 1832 and 1836. The growth of Orono at this time was fabulous. Lots in the village rose to city prices, but the excitement reached its climax in Old Town. The cause of this was the run upon the great wealth of the forest timber which would be here converted into lumber and shipped for the foreign trade. The excitement cleared away in 1836, when the bubble burst, r and the industrial situation was]left in a critical condition. A joint stock organization, called the Stillwater Iron Foundry, was formed in 1835 or 1836 and built a foundry not far from the site of the old Ham matt Mills. This com- pany continued only for two or three years. In the fall of 1837 the Bangor Lower Stillwater Mill Co., a concern doing a big business previously, passed into the hands of the North HISTORICAL 41 American Lumber Co., but notwithstanding its able mana- gers it was forced to the wall in the general crisis. The mills on the island end of the Babcock dam were built in 1832. They were destroyed by fire in 1833, but were immediately rebuilt and extended. The Ham- matt Mills, Union block, Six-Saw block, the Perkins block, Island block and the first mills at the basin were all built between 1832 and 1838, and most of them in 1834, 1835, and L836. LATER INDUSTRIES The first mill built at "the Basin," at the south end of the village, was taken out by flood about 1846. The mill now operated there was built soon after this by a New York firm and superintended by Gideon Mayo. James Walker purchased the mill soon after 1850 and it is now operated by his sons as a wood working establishment. Where is now located the cant-dog factory, stood the grist mill and sash and blind factory of John Bennoch, erected during the exciting times of the thirties. Mr. Ben- noch sold the plant to E. Mansfield & Co. who are doing an extensive business at the present time. The saw mill on the island was built by the Orono Pulp and Paper Co. about 1890. This plant was leased to Bangor men for a time. This firm failed in business, and the original concern is now operating it. B. B. Thatcher is president and R. W. Saw3 r er, treasurer. About eleven years ago J. Fred, Eben C, and Alden D. Webster bought a saw mill and on the site erected the paper mill known as the Webster Mills. Later they sold 42 HISTORICAL their property to the International Paper Co., who have increased their capacity by erecting a ground wood mill last year. William Engel & Co's saw mill is one of the impor- tant industries in the town at the present time. This loca- tion he purchased of P. D. Webster, but has greatly im- proved the plant by reconstructing the mill. The first match factory was established here about twenty-five years ago by John M. Cha^e; and the manufac- ture of oars, paddles, pickpoles, etc., was established by a Mr. Shaw. During the busiest days in the town of Orono there were as many as ten or twelve saw mills in operation at one time, furnishing regular employment to over GOO men. The manufacture of pulp and paper has in part superseded the manufacture of lumber, and is now one of the leading com- mercial industries of the state of Maine. The water privi- leges of Orono are equal to any in the state. The town is increasing, and her powers and possibilities are gradually being developed. The future prospects of the town as a com- mercial center are as bright and promising, to the candid mind, as at any time during her entire history.
