KENT'S HILL, MAINE Indian History. The story of the Indian is ever interesting to stu- dents of history. Few and simple were his laws, yet more generally observed than the numerous enact- ments of civilized nations which fill many volumes of statute books. The Indian history ot Berwick centers about three distinct tribes of red men. The Newich- awannocks living on the banks of the Piscataqua; the Sokokis, or Saco tribe, in the vicinity of the Saco River, and several tribes living in Canada. The first tribe the Newichawannocks, called by Williamson, the Piscataquas, arc best known to the people of Berwick, living as the}' did, almost side by side with the early settlers of the town, the early pioneers considering 6 HISTORICAL them good neighbors. Unlike many of their neigh- boring tribes, this race of Indians was ever peaceful with the whites. Abused, neglected and even cheated out of their own homes by many of the settlers, yet they never retaliated with the hatchet. Their acts of friendship were of no small number. They sold land to the whites, and traded with them their spoils of archer}'. Rowles, their Sagamore, sold land to Humphrey Chadbourne and Thomas Spencer, the former being the oldest Indian deed in the records of Maine. We are ever reminded of this race by the historic Indian names, given by them to different parts of the town, and many of which are kept today. The second tribe, the Sokokis, are perhaps known as well as the former but not with the same interest and feeling. Unlike the Newichawannocks, these Indians were ever ready to injure the whites, and found many opportunities to do so. This race lived to the east of the Saco River as far as the Passamaquoddy, and are known as the Saco Indians. The mention of the name, King Phillip, is sufficient to acquaint the reader with this tribe. The last, the tribes of Canada, are best known in the French and Indian war. The story of that conflict, is known well to the reader, and the part acted by these Indians, gives us a good insight into their character. The carl}' pioneers got along fairly well at first with the red men. Perhaps this condition was caused more by fear than by friendship, knowing as he did HISTORICAL 7 that all quarrels with the white men would be ruinous to the Indian. Finall}^ this tranquilit}' was broken, the red men influenced by the French, and encouraged by their chieltains, and aware that their hunting grounds would soon be overrun by the whites, and a condition of hostilities was broui^ht about. Berwick situated as she was, an inland town facing the unbroken forests, the home of the painted warrior, was among the first to be assailed. Her period of suflering and blood-shed covers many 3-ears. Hostilities began with the opening of King Phillip's war, 1675. Squando the Sagamore of the Saco tribe was the leader in the movement. He desired revenge against the whites for an act of injury and insult (as he claimed when persuading his own race to take up arms) against himself and his race. It seems that at one time his squaw was passing along the Saco River in a canoe, with her infant child, when she was accosted by several rude sailors who having heard that the Indian children could swim as naturally as the young of the lower animals, approached her, and in a fit of humor overset the canoe to try the experiment. The child sank, and though the mother diving, brought it up alive, it soon after died, and the parents claimed its death was due to the ill-treatment. Other causes for an opening of war, were brought forward, yet the spirit of jealousy no doubt caused the movement. The Indians first attacked the settle- ments near Saco, and then proceeded towards the Pis- cataqua river, intending to make an assault upon any 8 HISTORICAL defenceless place. The tirst place to be assailed was the dwelling house of Mr. Richard Tozier, situated where is now the residence of Mr. Charles Collins, on the South Berwick road a short distance from the rail- road. Mr. Tozier and the men ol his neighborhood were absent at the time, as they had gone to the aid of Saco, when help was requested. Mr. Tozier's iamily consisted ol fifteen persons all women and children. Upon this defenceless family the Indians made an attack. Their approach was tirst discovered by a "young heroess" as she is termed, who w^hile the rest of the famil}' were escaping, kept the door fast against the Indians, until they chopped it down with their hatchets, with which the}- knocked her senseless. But the poor maid who had ventured her life to save many others, was, by a strange providence enabled to re- cover sufficient strength after they were gone to find her way to a near by garrison where she was healed of her wounds and restored to perfect health. The savages on the day following set tire to the house and buildings of Captain Wilcoln and reduced them to ashes. Some of the men from garrisons pur- sued the fleeling Indians but night-fall checked their endeavors. These two attacks nerved the settlers to action. Troops were sent from Boston to aid the settlements, and everything possible was done to meet another attack. It is said that some sections wxnt so far as to offer a bounty oi $5.00 for every Indian scalp secured. HISTORICAL 9 A letter addressed to two gentlemen at Dover communicates the distress of that place. "To Richard Waldron and Lieutenant Coffin: These are to inform 3'ou that the Indians are just now engaging us with at least one hundred men and have already slain four of our men, Richard Tozier, James Berry, Isaac Bottes and Tozier's son, and burned Benoni Hodsdon's house. Sirs, if ever you have any love for us, show yourselves with men to help us, or else we are in great danger of being slain, unless our God wonderfully appears for our deliverance. They that cannot fight let them pray. Roger Plaisted, George Broughton," Mr. Toziei's residence was the object of a second attack. The fol- lowing month on October i6, Mr. Tozier was killed and his son carried into captivity. Lieutenant Roger Plaisted, the commander of the garrison, sent a portion of his men to the rescue, but, falling into an ambush, they finally made their escape, not however, until three of their number were slain. Mr. Plaisted then set out with a party to recover the three bodies of his fallen comrades and was attacked b}' one hundred and fifty Indians. In the battle which followed Mr. Plaisted, one son and a third man was killed. A second son died soon after- ward of wounds received in the fight. He and his two sons were buried on his own land near the battle ground in full view from the highway. Their lettered tomb- stones bear this inscription, "Near this place lies buried the body of Roger Plaisted, who was killed by lO HISTORICAL the Indi;ins, October i6, 1675, aged 48 years, also the body of his son, Roger Plaisted, who was killed at the same time." This burying spot is in full view of the road from Berwick village to South Berwick, and has been enclosed by an iron railing. In retiring, the Indians burned several buildings and killed a number of settlers. The town again suffered an attack in the French and Indian war (1688-92). In March 18, 1690 the most famous attack was made upon Newichawannock. A band of Indians led b}' Hartel, a Canadian ofBcer, and the famous Hopegood, made the assault upon the set- tlement at daybreak, in three different places. The defenders of the settlement fought heroically but were finally forced to surrender, but not until over thirty of their number were slain. The remaining number, fif- ty-four, mostly women and children, were taken captive. The enemy burned all the houses and mills as far as the Great Works river, then after taking all the plunder they could carry, retreated northward. The enemy were pursued b}' a party of one hun- dred and forty men who came upon them at Wor- ster's Brook at a narrow bridge. Hartel, expecting an attack, placed his men in an advantageous position on the banks of the stream. They fought all the afternoon but with little loss on either side. The French and Indians held their pursuers in check until night and then continued their retreat, tormenting their captives with shocking cruelty. Among these unfortunate cap- HISTORICAL II tives was Mrs. Mehitable Goodwin, Hetty Goodwin as she was always called, who was taken by the Indians with her husband and baby. The husband and wife were separated by two parties of savages, and set forth on their long and tedious journey to Canada, each believing the other to be dead and leaving behind them their comfortable tarm on a beautiful hill near Plaisted Garrison. In the early part ol the march one of the Indians snatched the babe from its mother's arms and dashed its head against a stone; and when the poor mother dragged her weary steps behind the rest and could not still her cries, they threatened to kill her in the same wa}' if she did not stop weeping. At night fall she was stooping over a brook trying to wash a bloody handkerchief and her tears were falling last again. She forgot the threat ot her captives. Sud- denly a compassionate squaw, pitying the poor lonely mother, threw some water in her face as if in derision. "This squaw had a mother's heart," the old people used to sav in telling the story in Canada. The captives suffered great hardships, and "Hetty Goodwin, a well otT woman" was sometimes so hungry that she stole food from the pigs. She was bought at last by a Frenchman and supposing her husband to be dead and despairing of ever reaching home again she married him and bore two children. Their names corrupt from the French were Rand; and the Plymouth famil}- of the name is said to be descended from them. The captive husband afterwards gained his freedom and 12 HISTORICAL being iniormcd that his wile was still alive went back to Canada and ibund her and brought her back, alter which they lived unmolested and were the parents ot many children. Hetty Goodwin's halt buried head stone may still be seen in the Old Fields burying ground. Robert Rogers being unable to carry the burden which they had imposed upon him, dropped it in the path and went aside in the woods to conceal him- self. The Indians when they had found him tortured him in the most cruel manner. They first stripped him and after beating him with clubs tied him to a stake and kindled a lire about him. The Indians would not let him have a speedy death but would push the fire towards him then draw it away, so as to give him a chance to breath thus prolonging his sufferings. The noise of the groans of the dying man was drowned, by the hideous yells of the Indians, as the}- danced about him, cutting ofi' pieces of tiesh and throwing it into his face. This was all done in view of the other captives. Mar}' Ferguson, a young girl, burst into tears because of the hugh burden that was placed upon her, and declared she could go no further. An Indian led her aside and cut of^' her head holding it up exclaiming "so I will do with you all if you cry or complain." Mary Plaisted was taken with a child three weeks old and forced to travel through the snow. To ease her of her burden they dashed the child against a tree and HISTORICAL 13 hung it upon one of its branches, telling the mother she might come that way again and have the pleasure of seeing it. These are a few instances of the way that those who were taken captive in that battle were treated. The journe}' to Canada, through swamps, heavily bur- dened, with scanty clothing and food, cannot be pictured on paper. In July 1690, Hopegood, a leader in the first attack again appeared on the scene, with a gang of ruffins and proceeded to burn the settlement ol the town. The entire settlement (not the whole of Ber- wick) was wiped out. The settlement known as Salmon Falls was destro^'ed but because of the strength of the whites the Indians did not venture below the Great Works river. As a specimen of the character of Hopegood an incident is told of his cruelty to a small bo}' whom he had taken captive. James Keay, a bo}' five years old is the one referred to and because he was lonely and cried for his parents, The}' stripped him and having tied him to a tree whipped him until he was covered with blood, to stop his cr3'ing. Soon after he had a sore eye, and Hopegood said it was caused by crying and then he turned it from its socket with with his thumb. Afterwards when the child could not keep up in traveling he split its head open with a hatchet. In 1703, tour men were killed and several taken prisoners. The Indians on the 26th of September ol 14 HISTORICAL that 3ear attacked a garrison in the south part of the town but were repulsed. A few years hiter a large part}' of Indians were captured b}' the whites at Eliot and taken as capti^■es to Boston where some were executed. The capture was accomplished by means of a council being held at which the Indians were present on invitation, and dur- ing the events oi the day a sham battle was suddenl}- converted into an attacking party and the Indians were captured with lightning-like rapidity. Major Charles Frost of Eliot was hated by the Indians because of his activity and success in fighting them, and they resolved upon his death. He was shot while returning from Great Works on July 4, 1697. Dennis Downing and the wife of John Heard were killed at the same time. Mr. Heard escaped. We are told that the Indians dug up Mr. Frost's body and hoisted it upon a pole at the top of Frost's Hill. His grave was afterward covered over by a very heavy fiat stone which bore a plain inscription. The spot where he was slain is now known as "Ambush Rock." At the same or nearly the same time James Good- win and two other persons were slain while at work in their fields. On May 4, 1705, many persons were surprised near Spruce Creek. Three were killed and several more were taken captives. Enoch Hutchins was the HISTORICAL 15 heaviest sufferer, he losing his wife and family at that time. On the twent3'-tirst of that same month James Tobey and his son, James, were slain in the woods by the Indians. John Rogers was wounded but succeeded in escaping. On June 6, 1706, Lieutenant John Shapleigh was killed and his son, Nicholas, taken prisoner and carried to Canada. Ten daN'S later Phillip Carpenter, his wife and tour children were slain at Spruce Creek. On September 30, of the lollowing year, James Ferguson and wile were slain by the redskins as they were returning from the meeting house in Berwick. We might enumerate man}- other instances of the bloody hand of the savage, for he was ever ready to wield that deadl}' weapon upon his supposed menacer, yet it would only prejudice us against him. The savage, cruel as he was, had man}' good qual- ities, and also many grievances at the hands of his pale faced neighbors. Whatever we may feel to be the true estimate of the Indian, we must not lose sight of the fact that he was a semi-barbarian and was being robbed of his former home. He fought according to the methods of the Indian race and is not to be blamed for that. Our course should be to treat as well as pos- sible this race, forced to the west and made destitute of lands, home and nationalitv. l6 HISTORICAL Early Settlement Who owned Berwick — First White Visitor — Lower Settlement — Berwick's Date of Settlement — Set- tlers — Second Influx of Settlers — Grants of Land — Growth of Settlements — Friends or Qiiakers — Witchcraft Past — Present. In tracing the early settlement of Berwick, the writer does not intend to give extended details, for space does not permit, but will narrate the more im- portant events in as concise and chonological a manner as possible. In giving the history of the present Ber- wick, the writer must take the reader back to the first settlement in what was originally Berwick, trace out the gradual trend of the people as they populated the three Berwicks. Berwick was originally a part of the posessions of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, a man of great integrity and whose infiuence and liberalit}' made possible the establishment of permanent settlements at Saco, York and Kittery. The first white person to set foot on Berwick soil w^as no doubt Martin Pring. He, through the aid and influence of the cit}' officials and merchants of the cit}' of Bristol, Fngland, actually visited our coast with two vessels on June 7, 1603. Soon after, he explored the region of the Piscataqua up as far as Berwick, some HISTORICAL 17 three or tour leagues, so the records read. Gorges in his history says, Pring made a perfect surve}^ of all these rivers and harbors and brought the most exact account of the coast that had come to hand. Captain Batholomew Gosnold sailed from England the previous year, 1602, but visited only the coast of Maine. Pring's pilot on this second vo3'age (it is said) was one of the sailors in the Gosnold expedition. These proofs and others are sufficient to convince us that this reoion along the Piscataqua was visited by white people before the Jameston settlement, 1607. Piscataqua, be- low the present South Berwick line, between that town and Eliot was settled (it is safe to say) as early as 1623. The exact date of the first settlement in Berwick is a problem for solution. Depositions are given that would imply that it was settled at an earlier date than was possible. One record reads that a Mr. Thompson's grant was bounded on the east by the old county road, as it was settled in 1608. This we know cannot be true. Often the statement is made that Piscataqua was settled as early as 1623-24, but as this applied to the whole region we cannot use it as absolute proof for Berwick's date settlement. The fact is that we do not know when the first person settled in the limits of the three Berwicks but we are not safe in placing the first settlement before 1631. All historians agree in placing Ambrose Gibbens the first settler of Berwick. Mr. Gibbens did not come over from England until l8 HISTORICAL 1630, and iit that time explored the town in the interest of the Laconia Company, ol which he was an agent, in this section of the country. There is positive proof ol the time of his arrival. After exploring the town he went awa\- returning the following year, 1631, when he made a settleme;it near Quamphegan Falls, the head of navigation on the Piscataqua. The following 3-ear 1632 his wife and daughter, then a 30ung lad}', came to live with him. In a letter written in 1633, dated at Newichawan- nock, the Indian name tor Berwick, Gibbens states that he is far from an}' white neighbors, and his house- hold consists of his family and lour men whose names were Thomas Blake, Thomas Crockett, Stephen Kidder and Charles Knill. This letter implies that there was no settlement near him at this time. There probably were travellers interested in various enterprises moving up and down the river, for in that same letter Gibbens speaks of his household usually numbering ten. Mr. Gibbens did not remain'long in Berwick, for we have a record of his being in New Hampshire in 1634. In fact he took out a grant of land on the New Hamp- shire side opposite the junction of the Great Works river with the Piscataqua. The D()^•er records contain the grant. In 1634 a shipload of immigrants came from Eng- land and passed up the Piscataqua. As the list con- taining the names of all the passengers who were on that vessel has been lost we do not know all who HISTORICAL 19 cuine over, or where each one settled. Some no doubt, went to York, and the towns in New Hampshire, but we do know that the foHowing settled. in Berwiek, Henry Joslyn, William Chadbourne, James Wall and John Goddard. Thomas Spencer is known to have settled in town the same 3'ear. Some of these men remained all their lives in town, while others after- wards moved away. The tirst explorers in Berwick found the lands about the Great Works and Salmon rivers a dense wilderness. The vicinit}' about the Quamphegan Falls first attracted the white settler. Here he could easil}- ob- tain the necessities of life for himself and famil}- until the ground began to 3'ield part of tlieir support. The Salmon and Great Works river, on whose banks they had settled, furnished an abundance of fish, while the forests abounded with game. It is impossible to give a correct list of the earl}' settlers of Berwick. As a period of twent}' years passed before anj- of them took out grants of land, there would be nothing on the records to show their names. It was not until 1650, that grants of any extent were given. Those persons who wished to take out land received a grant from the General Court. Those who took out the first grants received more than those who applied later. Some received as high as a thousand acres but in most cases the grants were given out in equal lots. The first deed of land on record was the one made to Humphrey Chadbourne by the noted Sagamore Rowles. 20 HISTORICAL The land extended above the Great Works River. The date of the purchase was 1643 and Thomas Spencer was a witness to the transaction. Twenty 3'ears after the tirst grant, the land in the vicinity of Ouamphegan was all taken up. The following persons are among the earliest settlers who took out, or came into pos- session of grants already taken out by others, along the river in the present town ol South Berwick: Thomas Spencer, Richard Nason, Alexander Maxwell, Alex- ander Cooper, Nathan Lord, James Warren, John Ta3lor, John Lamb, James Emery, Peter Grant, John Green, Thomas Abbott, Daniel Goodwin, Sr., Daniel Goodwin, Jr., James Emery, Phillip Hubbard, John Wincoll, Roger Plaistcd, Benoni Hodsdon, Nicholas Hodsdon and Miles Thompson. Other earl}' settlers were as follows: Richard Leader, William Spencer, Tom Tinker, James Heard, Daniel Hubbard, Richard Abbott, Daniel Ferguson, William Thompson, George Rogers, Nicholas Frost, Theodius Redder, Andrew Searl, James Barnard, Anthony Emery, James Grant, Ichabod Goodwin, John Falls, Samuel Falls, John Connor, Michael Rhoades, James Plaisted, Patrick Gowen, Nicholas Morrill, Elisha Plaisted, Alexander Ferguson, John Hooper, John Croude, Thomas Deering, Joseph Couch, Ichabod Tibbetts, Richard Tozier, William Piles, James Barry, William Love, Roger Plaisted. Others might be mentioned but this constitutes a greater part of list. For a period of 120 3-ears the earl}' settlers did not venture far from their HISTORICAL 21 first place of settlement which was in direct communi- cation with the coast. Their choice of early settle- ment was a good one, for Qiiamphegan is always one of the most beautiful and attractive places in the world. It is not surprising that a small settlement which we might term a well populated country road was established here, for Gibbens could not have found a more delightful place were he to search far and wide. Qiiamphegan Falls was so called by the Indians and meant "the place where fish were taken in nets." Here the}^ coule carry on their choice of occupation with the rivers furnishing excellent water power and the forests an abundance of timber. The taste for manufacturing and lumbering, rather then farming seems to have attracted our forefathers to settle here. Here along the bank of the river a landing was built, a trading post established, and a church and school-house erected. In short the early pioneers did what they could to make their surroundings agreeable and their lives happy. These early pioneers were a hardy people of rough exterior, ever kind and hospitable, yet always on the alert to see that their quiet and easy life was not endangered. All doubtful adventurers were excluded from the town. In 1634 it was ordered that "no person or persons whatsoever shall be admitted into this town without a license from the selectmen thereof" and "if any inhabitant of this town shall receive any 22 HISTORICAL such person into his house contraiy to the above said order that any such inhabitant shall give any security unto the select men as they shall require, to save and keep harmless the town from any such person so received." Later a notice was given "to leave, the town" or "be dragged out; having had tilteen days previous notice." The settlers came very slowly at tirst. In fact after the managers Mason & Gorges had ceased to support their plantations on the Piscataqua, the colonies were loosing ground. The proprietors various schemes of amassing wealth in these colonies had only enriched the settlers themselves. It was not until the Civil wars between Charles II and Parliament that the first impulse came to the colonies after the original settlement. When Crom- well gained a decisive victory o\"er the royal troops at Dunbar in the north, he, not knowing how to better dispose ol his prisoners, banished them from their own country, England, and sent them to America. The settlements along the Piscataqua received man}- of these refugees. Some attracted by the bust- ling settlement along the Great Works, Piscataqua and Salmon Falls rivers were induced to settle here. Among those who came at this time were many from the ancient hamlet of Berwick in Yorkshire. These people probably gave the town its present name. The spelling of the name in the old records is Ber(v)ick and pronounced as if it it were spelled Berrick. So slowly did the settlers spread over the town that no HISTORICAL 23 settlements were made above Worster's Brook until alter the Indian wars. In 1 7 13 Berwick was the most inland settlement towards Canada and the inhabitants were kept in a constant state of alarm. All houses be lore 17 15 were of hewn logs. Some were erectecl larger and stronger than others, for a place of refuge, when sutiering an attack from the Indians. Among those nearest the settlement at that time were the Shorey and Neal Gar- risons below Old Field, the Spencer Wentworth, Ka}', Tozier and Plaisted Garrisons near Salmon Falls, and later a fort on Pine Hill, north ot Steep Falls, sur- rounded by a stockade of sharpened poles twenty feet in height. It was not until the cession of Canada by France, to Great Britain, (1763) that the people be- gan to venture far from the lirst settlement. The influx of imigrants compelled the settlers to scatter throughout the town. The demand for lumber to operate the mills was another cause. The region in this section of the county was famous for mast or spar timber, which was shipped in large quantities to England. The old mast road is well known to the most of the people living near the Great Works river. The fear for the Indian had passed away, for the French could no longer influence them to harm the settlers. The town later experienced two great periods of excitement, the coming of the Qiiakers and the Salem Witchcraft. The Friends, as they are termed, 24 HISTORICAL were terribl}' persecuted in New Hampshire. Some were taken in the dead of winter and plunged into the water, through a hole in the ice. Three women at Dover, New Hampshire, were made fast to a cart's tail and driven from town and whipped on their bare backs, ten stripes each, till the}' were beyond the juris- diction of the colony. John Hurd of Kittery, who saw the outrage, is said to have asked them if the ropes were the cords of the covenant. It was partly through his influence that this sect immigrated to the town. They received no persecu- tion to any extent, on this side of the Piscataqua, although a Mr. Richard Nason was disfranchised for harboring one of them in his house. It is an inter- esting fact to know that the first meeting of the Friends or Qiiakers (as they were then called) in the Prov- ince of Maine was at Newichawannock, in December 1662. Superstition is ever present with the people. It was so to a greater extent among the early pioneers of our town than among its people today. Yet! hardly a day passes but we hear some illusion to the old notions. If we credit some of the stories, there may have been witches in Berwick. The Beaver Dam witch, Old Marea, as she was called, is said to have caused much trouble to those who did not do as she wished. Manv queer stories are con- nected with her. She is said to have lived near a sand bank in an old hovel near the road, at Beaver Dam. If anything went wrong the people said it was the HISTORICAL 25 work of the witches. It is said that at one time a person was churning but the butter would not come so as usual the members of the family said that some one present was bewitched. To discover the evil spirit and to overcome it, they laid a file across the churn, then a member present read a chapter from the Bible. The result was as they expected, the butter soon came and the person bewitched immediately broke her leg. The old story of the "Witch Trot Road," a name handed down to us, is very interesting, but too long to give but in brief. Rev. Stephen Bur- rows, accused of witchcraft, was summoned for trial and two constables and another person, his enemies, were sent to conduct him hither. Mr. Burrows sug- gested that they take a short cut through* the woods, which was accepted, but they had not ventured far when a thunder storm arose, leaving them in darkness. The party, except Mr. Burrows, were almost fright- ened to death, and succeeded with ditficulty in getting through the woods. The arising of the storm at that time was enough to convince the three men that the parson had supernatural power. This occurence gave to it its present name "Witch Trot Rodd,'' situated in South Berwick. The people after the Indian wars soon began to leave the centers of business, Great Works and the section about Salmon Falls, and to take out grants of land in the present towns of Berwick and North Berwick. These were largely the descendents of the early pioneer who 26 HISTORICAL settled South Berwick. It is a noticeable fact that that those who ventured thus far traveled the banks of the rivers as the}' moved back into the dense forest. These persons did not reach the present town of North Berwick much before 1750. The first settlement was made near Doughty's Falls, named probably for the lamil}' of that name who were there. The Morrills, Puringtons, Hobbs, Husseys and ButTums are said to be the tirst settlers. The earliest settlers on Beach Ridge were: William and Silas Ilall, Benjamin, Joseph, Thomas and Silas Hurd. The north, east and west parts of the town were settled by Samuel Hurd, John Falls, and S. Roberts. The north- west was settled first by John Libb}'. The lollowing are other eafh' settlers John R. Randall, Daniel Qiiint, Samuel Ilanscom, Hercules Fernald, Daniel Qiiint, Staples family, Christopher Hammond, Samuel Hurd, John Fall, S. Roberts and John Libby. The Qiiakers were among the earl}- settlers. The increase in manufacturies soon induced many to immigrate to the town. The movement from Sal- mon Falls was similar to that of Great Works. Up the river they journeyed but very slowlv at first. The present town of Berwick was not settled before 1650. The first grant of land was made to Roger Plaisted in 1654. Plaisted no doubt lived here three or four years before he obtained his grant. The old burial spot where he now lies can be seen from the South Ber- wick road and marks the place of his settlement. HISTORICAL 27 Grants were soon taken along the river on the same road by Richard Tozier, William Piles, John Wilcoln, James Barry and William Love. Soon they came toward Blackberry Hills, so named because of the abundance ol that specie ol berry found by the ex- plorers. Among the tirst here was James Chadbourne, John Woodsum, Samuel Brackett and John Morse. This section soon became the leading portion ot the upper part of the old town. Here churches, school- houses, stores and even a hotel was built. It was what we might term the upper village of the town. The old burying ground is still there with its ancient tomb- stones reminding us of this once important and historic part of the town. Beaver dam was soon visited b}' the settlers. Among the first here and to the north at Diamond Hill were those famdies by the name of Chick, Andrews, Grant, Goodrich, Guptill, Skillings, INIurray and Goodwins'. It is said that Joshua Andrews, one of the earliest in that section walked to Amesbury, Mass., and gave a man twenty dollars to tell him how to catch wolves. He also bought a trap for that same purpose on that trip. That trap is now in the possession ol one of his descendants who lives on the same lot of land. The town records inform us that Mr. Andrews received monev from the town on several occasions for the bounty on the wolves that he caught and killed. Cranberry Meadow was settled by William Frost, Stephen Hardison, Humphrey Lord, Elisha Goodwin, 28 HISTORICAL Nicholas Lord and Ebenezer Brown. The first on Pine Hill were Thomas Downs, John Fall, William Downs, Benjamin liersom and Benjamin Lord, Jr. The present site of Berwick village was not settled be lore 1749. The first house, (log-cabin) was erected by Ebenezer Lord, great-grandfather of the late George W. Lord on the site of the present house, Berwick street. Incorporation Berwick was incorporated the ninth town, June 9, 1 7 13, and then included what is now Berwick and North and South Berwick. Previous to this was a parish oi Unity set oft' as such by the tow^i Kittery, too poor as was supposed, to ever form a separate town. Before it was incorporated it had annually elected its board of three selectmen. The first regular town meeting was held in the old meeting house at Old Fields, South Berwick, and the following officers w^ere chosen: Humphrey Chad- bourne, town clerk; Benjamin Nason, John Croude, Elisha Plaisted, James Emery and James Grant, select- HISTORICAL 29 men; John Hooper, treasurer; Benjamin Nason served as moderator. The town meeting of our forefathers attended to the transaction of the minutest details of every da}' life, as well as those of greater importance. Their civil and religous problems were both on tjie equal footing and received the same attention. There the schoolmaster was appointed, his salary apportioned; the preacher was chosen; money was raised for the support of the gospel; and even the sexton was selected to ring the bell and keep tid}' the place of worship. Benoni Bragdon, a faithful servant as he is called, held this position for a number of years, and was obliged, as his contract read, to sweep out the house once in three months. October 22, 1701 — Voted to build a new meeting house lor the use ol the inhabitants of the parish, they, finding the old house not worth repairing. Building committee — Capt. Ichabod Plaisted, Richard Tozier, John Hill, Thomas Abbott, Benjamin Nason, Charles Frost, Nathan Lord, Humphrey Spencer, Benoni Hodsdon.

At a legal town meeting April 18, 1729 — Voted that monc}' shall be raised from this town for de- fending an}' person or persons belonging to this town of Berwick, who shall have an}' logs seized by the surveyors, which were cut within this township. Voted sixty pounds shall be raised lorthwith to delray the charge of carrying on that affair, and that the select- men shall hire the money. April 20, 1 7 13 — Voted at a legal parish meeting, William Richard and Samuel Lord each a pew, they paying two pounds each. March 22, 17 14 — Voted William Lo'rd, pound keeper for the ensuing year.

The town also voted a bounty to encourage the keeping of ferocious bulls. 1756 — Voted lor protection against waste. Voted that il any inhabitant should fall any pipe stave or clapboard timber and let it lay unused up above one month, any other inhabitant might imj-)rove it as his own property. HISTORICAL 31 December 2, i 29 — Voted that a man be chosen to be aiding- and assisting to those men that are sued. Voted Captain James Grant shall be the man and his wages shall be ten shillings per da}' tbr his trouble. March 15, 1736 — Voted that our representative Mr, Richard Lord be impowered to put a pertition in the General Court lor a lot of land in the unaportioned lands within the county ot York to be granted to our said town for the support of our grammar shools.

March 12, 1753 — Voted the bridge built over the Great Works river near Mr. Elisha llilPs dwelling- house shall be accepted as a town bridge and main- tained by the town. 175 1 — Voted that the master teach two weeks at one point, then two weeks at another, returning in each of the six schools in town. 32 HISTORICAL Monday, July i, 1776 — In a town meeting held at South Parish meeting house, Daniel Libby was chosen chairman, and it was yoted that "Should the Hon. Congress, for the safet}' ot the colonys Declare them independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain, we, the Inhabitants of said town, will Solemnl}' engage with our Liyes and Fortunes to support them in the meas- ure,'" and that Col. Ichabod Goodwin be seryed with a cop}' of this note. 1780 — Fort}' shillings were yoted to each man in the Eastern expedition from the town, 6 pounds to each captain, and 4 pounds 10 shillings to each lieuten- ant. July 16, 1750 — Voted to hire a minister and giye him 20 pounds a year for his seryices. Voted to get from the general court a grant of land for the minister. February 19, 1753 — Voted, a parish house (resi- dence) for the parson, and that it should be built in elegant style. This meeting-house and parsonage was stationed on Blackberry Hill. Elections were held at Tilly Ilaggens' Inn till 1767, and on Blackberry Hill, in the meeting-house, until 1748, when the old one was destro}ed by fire and a new one ert;cted on the same grounds. This one was afterwards moyed to Berwick yillage and now sits on School street, in which the annual town meet- ings are now held. In 1790 the South Parish (South Berwick) tried to form itself into a separate town. A petition was ad- HISTORICAL 33 dressed to the General Court. The Parish line was the proposed boundary. The petition was denied. A second attempt likewise failed. The third one, 1813, was granted and South Berwick became a separate town. TItc present town of North Berwick was incorpo- rated by an act of the Legislature passed March 21, and approved March 22, 1831. The inhabitants were required to pa}' their portion of previously assessed taxes, and received their share of the old town stock of powder, balls, flints and camp equipage. The first town meeting was held at a meeting house two miles from Bauneg-Beg Lake, on the Oak Wood Road, April 4, 183 1. Daniel Clark presided as moderator and the following officials were elected: Sheldon Hobbs, town clerk; William Weymouth, John Chase and J. Crane, selectmen, assessors and overseers of the poor; Isaac Frost, Benajah Hall and John Young, constables and collectors; Sheldon Hobbs, treasurer and clerk ot the market; William Weymouth, George Heard and Mark Nowell, Jr., school com- mittee. Elections were held in the old church until 1876, when it was abandoned and the town business trans- ferred to the hall, the present place of assembl}-, in the village. 34 HISTORICAL nilitary Hatters The town of Berwick is justl}' entitled to the high esteem of the state and nation for her lo3'al support of the government in military affairs. Her settlement was maintained against the savages in man}' instances, and it was necessary for the pioneers to defend their homes and protect their families at the point of the bayonet. Alter so many years of self defense it is not surprising that the}' helped whip the soldiers of Britian at Bunker Hill, Concord and Lexington. The War of the Revo- lution found this town ready to do its whole duty in the stiring events of that period. Berwick sent out two full companies of soldiers for service in the Revolution. They were commanded by Captains Phillip Hubbard and Daniel Wood. Ebenezer Sullivan soon suceeded Capt. Wood, who was advanced to Major. We have not attempted to give a list of the Revo- lutionary soldiers who went from the town of Berwick. The list is of such proportion as to make one ask if all the male population did not enlist, and such was the intense ardor in behalf of the Revolutionary cause that such was almost the case. Almost every campaign of that whole period of eight years war, was participated in by men from the sturdy and loyal old town of Ber- wick on the Piscatqua. From the male population of HISTORICAL 35 Berwick at the time of the Revolution it will be very difficult to find one person of sufficient age who was not in the service of the continental army at some period or other. WAR OF 1 8x2 In this war the government was well supported, although meetings were held in some parts of the town declaring it to be an unjust and unwarranted conflict. The town voted to lend $800 to equip their citizens who were to enlist, but were not able to arm them- selves. A call was also made upon the government for sixt}' stands of arms. Many of the citizens enlisted and performed laithlully the duties required. WAR OF THE REBELLION North Berwick furnished for the War, approxi- inately, eighty men, and money for bounties and incidental expenses to the amount of $30,000. No town can boast of a more loyal support of the Govern- ment in this conflict of human rights. Too much praise cannot be given to those true and patriotic men who enlisted and served in the struggle of 1861. With due reverence we herewith give the names of those who enlisted as citizens of North Berwick: Home enlistments: — John P. Abbott, Seth G. Allen, Albert D. Arey, Moses Bekell, John Blaborn, 36 HISTORICAL Elijah Boston, David H. Brackett, James F. Birchsted, Joseph W. Church, Seth Dillingham, John L. Dil- lingham, Austin Edgerl}-, Edwin W.

HISTORICAL 37 rianufacturing Account The manufacturing history of Berwick covers a long period. The whole attention of the early settlers seems to have been directed in that line, and the forests were striped with astonishing rapidity. Shin- gles and pine boards were legal tender "delivered at the landing, when the slopes ran" or were exchanged with the merchants for rum, molasses and other necessities ol life. A mill was erected at Great Works as early as 1634 and others soon followed on Great Works and Salmon Falls rivers. All persons wanting timber received a grant or permit to cut it upon the common lands. In 1850, Richard Leader was granted "all the rights to the privilege or mill power on the little river known as the Newichawannock, with liberty and like property in all timber not yet appropri- ated to any town or person. He immediately erected a large mill carrying eighteen saws. He was also granted permission to cut pine timber along the river as far up as the town limits extended. His restriction in width way one-half mile each side ot the river. Mr. Leader acquired wealth from his lumber opera- tions, and it is said that either the vastness of Mr. Leader's operations or the erection of iron works on the river a little later gave it its present name, Great Works. 38 HISTORICAL In 1660, Captain Broughton agreed to erect a mill on his lot at Qiianghegan Falls, and to saw on halves any logs that the inhabitants might get upon the timbered lands above. Humphrey Chadbourne as early as 1661 had lumber camps about the Great Works river, where he got out lumber ior his mills. The first mill in our present town. North Berwick, was erected by Peter Morrill on the Great Works river at the village, about 1722. A run of stones was connected with it by which grist grinding was done for the settlers. Alterward he engaged in the manu- lacture of iron on the same river, but as it was not a financial success, because of its poor quality, the undertaking was abandoned. The mill was in opera- tion as early as 1810, if not earlier. A mill for carding wool took the place occupied by the iron works. In 1834, Friend Hill and John D. Lang, erected a wooden building, 60 feet long, two stories high, for the pur- pose of doing custom-work and the manufacture of machine blankets. This firm was among the first in this section of the country to establish a factory fbr the manufacture of this kind of goods. In 1861 the plant was destroyed by fire. Among the .leading manufacturies of the town today are the following: North Berwick Co manu- facturers of flannels and dress goods. This plant is the outgrowth of the one mentioned above that was destro3ed by fire, and was incorporated in 1838. The firm owns two large, brick buildings, four stories high HISTORICAL 39 thirty tenement houses, and many hirge store houses. This plant also operates a saw and grist mill and machine shop. The firm also carries on quite an extensive retail coal, wood and lumber business. Ap- proximately one hundred hands are employed. Capital $8o,OQO. Plant operated by steam and water power. M. R. Hurd, president; W. B. Tobey, agent and treasurer. Samuel BufFum & Co. — manufactures of box shooks and boxes. This present industry was started in 1855 by William R. Tober ot Fairhaven, Mass., who built a mill here at that date. The first busmess was the manufacture of shooks for small boxes. This grew to include a large variety of shooks, shipped b}' car loads to distant cities. The present firm was or- ganized under the name, Samuel Buffum & Co., in 1869. Since the first building was constructed many additions have been made to the plant. In 1898, a new mill was built in connection with the old one for the manufacture of small lock-corner boxes, which are put together with glue, finished with sand paper, and shipped in crates to all parts of the country. The firm operates man}' portable saw mills in this vicinit}'. Capital invested in plant $30,000. Employs ninty-five men, thirteen boys and twelve girls. Steam power. Another of the manufacturing industries of this town is the Box Shook and Lumber manufacturing of Isaac Varne}' & Sons. Their mill was built in 1895 and has been in active operation since that time. The}' 40 HISTORICAL are equipped with one hundred and hlty Yl. P. westing house, compound steam engine, and turn out a product of hirge proportion. This stationary* saw mill is capable of turning out 20,000 feet of sawed lumber per day, and their portable mill has a capacity of about 15,000. Their crew numbers sevent}^ men and they work ten hours per day, and also more or less over time in the more busy seasons. The industry is one of the important ones of the town and furnishes employment that is of much value to the community. Educational Account The school history of North Berwick is a source ol pride to her ever}' citizen, extending as it has over a pe- riod of one hundred and seventy-live 3-ears. The amount of good it has done cannot be known; but this much we do know, that no town has put forth greater el1:brt to fit its representatives for the field of work. The examples of strength and power who have gone forth from this town and entered all fields of labor, are sufficient proofs of the above. A school was kept at the expense of the town, as earl}' as 1714. Master Rookes was the first school teacher, and he was chosen master in 17 16, at a salary of forty pounds. John Bradstreet was the second HISTORICAL 41 master and was to teach in a private house until a schoolhouse could be built. The same year, 17 18, the house was completed and stood near the old parish church, at Old Fields. This was the tirst schoolhouse erected in town. Stephen Emer}', James Pike and Joseph Newmarch are among the earliest teachers. Stephen Emer}' was to take his pay in "one-halt boards and one-half in Public Bills." James Pike taught in town as early as 1726. Joseph Newmarch was master in 1727, and taught reading, writing and spelling. In 1724 two schoolhouses stood above the Great Works river, and school was kept in six places, two months each, by one teacher. In 1749 the master was to teach two weeks at one point then two at another. In 1758 a whole school year, the first of its kind, was kept in the upper parish, and two whole years' school were held in town in 1761. Five years later a committee to better regulate schools lor the future was chosen, after which two schools were regularly kept. In 1770 one hundred and forty pounds was paid for live months summer schools, and the town obliged teachers to present a certificate of moral character in 1790. The same year a plan was made agreeable to the new law, and in 1791 an Academy was incorporated. The school was situated in the present village of South Berwick and was the beginning of a new and higher development of learning. From that time to the present, the schools of the town have made a gradual advancement. 42 HISTORICAL The town has begun action tor the erection ot the much needed high school building. The present superintendent is John E. Abbott. Much interest is manifested in educational matters and hearty and lib- eral support given them by the towns people. Under their present efficient managers and instructors, we leel it is safe to say that they are keeping abreast of the most successful schools in the State, that are con- ducted under similar conditions. Improvements in system and general direction are instituted from time to time, as the best interests of the schools require. Church History BAPTIST This church begins with the first church organized in the town of Berwick in 1701, and whose house of worship was situated on the site of District No. 2 schoolhouse. Brattle street. Great works settlement, in the town of South Berwick* A second society was formed on what is known as "Great Hill," in the same town, in 1768, at which time seventeen were added to the church. There was a feeling of enmity at first against this denomination and some of its strongest advocates were abused. A meeting house was erected by the second HISTORICAL 43 society, through the benevolence of their first pastor and leader, Rev. Joshua Emery. In 1842 a new house was built in the southern part of the present town of Berwick, about two miles from its present site, where it remained until 1867, when it was removed and re- built in more modern style on its present location. The church was dedicated the following year, 1868. The first pastor to serve the people was the Rev. W. C. Barrows, an ardent Christian worker, under whose pastorate the church was very prosperous. The following have served the church as pastors, with term of service: Revs. W. C. Barrows, 1868-70; Cyrus Tibbetts, 1871-74; A. De F. Palmer, 1875-80; George A. Cleveland, 1881-83; W. H. Hamlin. ^ Mr. Hamlin was followed by the Rev. H. A. Stetson, under whose guidance the church was remodeled and made the beautiful house of worship ot today. Mr. Stetson was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Emery, who came to this charge in 1898, and remained six years. The present pastor. Rev. Fred W. Peakes, took the pas- torate in October 1904. The church is in a prosperous condition with a membership of one hundred and four. FREE BAPTIST The second Free Baptist church at the village was organized December 15, 1839, under the preaching of Rev. Joseph Whittimore, a man of marked ability and lo3'aIty in all his labors. The first members were 44 HISTORICAL Ebenezer Hobbs and wife, David S. Roberts and wife, Jacob Prescott and wife, Ruth Hopkins, Meliitable Weymouth, Mary J. Weymouth and Sally Johnson. Ebenezer Hobbs was chosen clerk and David S. Roberts, deacon. The first meeting house was erected soon alter the church was organized, and dedicated by Rev. Henr}- Hobbs. The following pastors with their date of service have served the people: Revs. David H. Lord, 1842-43; Samuel T. Catlin, 1844; Gorham P. Ramsey, 1845; Daniel Cla}', 1846; J. M. Woodman, 1847-48; John F. Tarrant, 1849-51; Charles B.Mills, 1852-54; John Stevens, 1855-57; Theodore Stevens, 1858-59; Charles C. Libby, 1860-61; George W. Gould 1862-64; Maxwell W. Burlingame, Francis Reed, 1865-66; A. Caverno, 1867-68; Clarion H. Kimball, 1869-70; Theodore Stevens, 18;? 1-7 2; B. P. Parker, 1873-76; E. C. Cook, 1877-80; F, C. Bradeen, 1881-86; Lewis Dexter, 1887-89; Harry C. Lowden, 1890-97; John L. Smith, the present pastor. The present house of worship was remodeled in 1883 during the pastorage of Rev. F. C. Bradeen. The parsonage was built the following year, 1884. The chiuxh is in a flourishing condition, with a member- ship of one hundred and eighty. FREE WILL BAPTIST BEECH RIDGE About 1825 there had been a free meeting house erected on Beech Ridge. The Methodists supplied the HISTORICAL 45 pulpit for a briet time, but afterwards it passed under the control of the Free Will Baptists. Through the efforts of Rev. Mr. Trask, a colored preacher, a church was soon organized at a council called for that purpose, at which time twenty-eight members were enrolled. David B. Crowell of Great Falls, now Somers- worth, N. H., preached to the people and brought a sweeping reformation among them. He was ordained Februar}' 20, 1840. Mr. CrowelTs pastorate closed the following year, 1841, and was followed by Rev. E. H. Hart. The church was soon rent in twain over the draft of a church covenant made by Rev. Mr. Crowell, and other reforms. The church voted to disband and those whose views could be made to harmonize began the work of reorganization. This new society was organized March i, 1843, with fourteen members. For a few years the society was supplied by different pastors. The old meetmg house getting out of repair, was finally sold and the present neat place of worship was erected. The par- sonage was also built near b}' the church. This new church was dedicated in i860, under the pastorate of Elder Theodore Stevens. The Beech Ridge and Beaver Dam churches were consolidated in i860. In 1885 the church was raised and a neat and convenient vestry was built underneath. Since the building of the present house, the following have served the church as pastors; Revs. James 46 HISTORICAL Nason, N. D. Jones, Thomas Spooncr, Jr., A. H. Hill, E. Tnttle, J. R. Franklin, F. E. Briggs, James Nason, H. C. Lander, Mr. Brown, H. C. Lander a second call, George Gray, A. M. Cox, and James Bo3'd, the present beloved pastor, who came to the people in 1892. Under his laithliil labor the church is in a prosperous condition. "old school predestinarian baptists" This church was organized May 21, 1804, having hfty-tive members and Elder Nathaniel Lord was the first pastor. Elder Lord, because of his declining health, in 1832, was assisted as moderator by Elder Philander Hartwell, who came to them from the San- ford Baptist church. He was chosen pastor of the Baptist church April 25, 1832. The Elders, Stewart, Purington and Whitehouse supplied the church with preaching. On June 12, 1847, Elder Richard Tobie was chosen pastor of the church and dismissed August 15, 1840. Elder Tobie was followed by Rev. William Qjiint, who came to the people March 6, i860. Mr. Ouint remained with the people until his death, Jan- uar}' 17, 1892. Elder Qiiint was succeeded by the present pastor. Elder Fred W. Keene, who began his duties in Jul}', 1803. During Elder Philander HartwelTs pastorate, the church, May i, 1833, voted to withdraw from the HISTORICAL 47 "York Association." The reason of this step was ovei doctrinal views. From this time till the present this church has been in correspondence with churches now known as "Old School Predestinarian Baptists." The first meeting house, spoken of in history as Elder Lord's, was built about 1871. The present house of worship and parsonage, were erected in 1852. Present membership of the church, fifty-six. FRIENDS Records tell us that this organization was among the earliest in town. From Dover, N. H., where this societ}' was continually being persecuted the Friends fled to the Maine side. Organizations were formed and meetings were held in the town, then Kittery. The first house of worship in the present town of North Berwick stood on the Oak Woods road, south of Bauneg-Beg, where quite a settlement of Friends existed. The meeting house was torn down, as the house fell to decay and the society thinned in members and the present one was built on Qiiaker street. In its day this church was quite prosperous, but its power lessened by a lack ot harmony among its members. 48 HISTORICAL Societies and Institutions INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS Eagle Lodge, No, 47, meets every Monday night in their hall, a large, three story building, erected in 1877, by a stock company composed oi members of the lodge.

Facts of Interest The present village of North Berwick contains about 1 200 inhabitants and is adorned b}' beautiful buildings and well laid streets, lighted by electricity. The town is quite a hustling manufacturing center. Previous to its present name, the village was known as Doughty's Falls, a name supposed to have been given from a man who lost his life at the Falls, while employed in driving logs for the mills below. The main village was lormerl}' between the Great Works and Neguntaquit rivers. The first settler, in the vicintity of the village, was Thomas Hobbs, who came here with his brother- in-law, Benjamin Weymouth, in 1735, and built a saw mill where the Husse}' plow works are now situated. The}' secured the land of Thomas Spinney and the deed to Mr. Hobbs has the signature of Sir. William Pepperell. Mr. Hobbs and his partner came here trom Dover, N. H. It is interesting to note that these first saw mills were built by a S3'ndicate of farmers and the shares HISTORICAL 53 were reckoned by the day and upwards. That meant that when each man's turn came he must go to the mill and run it as many days as he owned shares. Mr. Hobbs, grandfather of John E. Hobbs, Esq., it is said took charge ot the mill one Sunday eve, and kept the plant going one solid week without taking a rest in sleep. This gives us a type of the endurance oi our ancesters, not to be equaled by us today. The first house built in the village was by Mr. Hobbs and was situated on the site of land, now be- tween the houses of Samuel Buffum and Mrs. Hurd. Later he erected a second house a little north of John E. Hobbs' present residence. Mr. Thomas Hobbs owned an extensive tract of land. His son, Thomas, succeeded him in all prominent positions in the town. The second persons to settle in the village were Peter and Jedediah Morrell. They came here in 1743 and built a mill the following year, where now stands the woolen plant, jedediah erected a house where Morrell Sherburne now lives. Peter built Butler's present residence. The principal business of the village in its early days was lumbering. The timbered lands about there gave a grand opportunity for this occupation. This is one reason why early mills were established. It is an acknowledged fact to be proud of, that "Leaders" mill at Great Works was the first of its kind in the world. The village and town increased slowly at first in population. In 1735, Maine, then Massachusetts, had 54 HISTORICAL less than 9000 inhabitants, and in 1750, only 10,000, an increase of only one thousand in fifteen years. At the time of the Revolutionary War, Berwick had the largest population of any town in Maine. Many of the war veterans came to our town at the close of the struggle and took out grants, on which to settle homes. In 1840 there were approximately forty houses within a mile of the center of the village, and the busi- ness section was on the opposite side Irom where it is today. Here was the first post office and Major Jona- than Savage was its postmaster. The merchants here at that time were Moses Hubbard, Thomas Hobbs, Jr. Jeremiah Lord, Peletiah Husse}' and Benajah Bufium. The one hotel was kept by Nathaniel Hobbs, situated near the present watering trough. The sign hung to the post read: "N. Hobbs Inn — 1804." At his death Mr. Hobbs was the oldest hotel proprietor in the state. The one church was the Qiiakers' and was situated near where now is the Friends Cemetery. That de- nomination at that date comprised almost one-half of the families in the town. The first doctor in the town was "Jedediah Morrell." At the opening ol the railroad, 1842, the business section moved nearer the depot, its present location. Frederick Rogers was the first to start a store near the depot. He had as clerk, Mr. George Snow, who later succeeded him in business. Rev. Mr. Colby was an early trader on the present side, and one of his helpers was Rufus Flatch, Esq., who later became a noted HISTORICAL 55 financier. Peletiah Hussey, moved his business over, and later was cashier oi the bank, which position he held honorably for many years. Daniel Chadbourne, another early merchant, was postmaster during Lin- coln's administration. Town Officers SELECTMEN 183 1 J.

H, 27 STORES 27 THE FOSTER AND BESSE SYSTEM STORES HOW IT AVORI^S When any business enterprise claims to offer special advantages to the public, the public is entitled to know the facts upon which claims are based. The secret of the success of the Foster and Besse System is a very simple one, being the principal of co-operation in buying and selling carried out on a broad and business like scale. The Foster system in New England alone, represents 27 stores, and as a rule, are doing the biggest business in their line wherever located. With them are associated the Besse System of 16 stores. In many cases they are able to control the entire output of leading manufacturers and naturally own the goods at first-hand prices, includ- ing all cash discounts and the advantage of wholesale orders. In this way the quality of the goods is arbitrarily maintained and the reputation of each and every one of the Foster and Besse System Stores has been built upon the bedrock foundation of honest goods, warranted to prove as represented, the lowest retail cash prices and courteous treatment to ever}'^ customer. Wherever one of Foster and Besse System Stores is located, the fact is generally known and acknowledged, even by their com- petitors, that they can afford to sell better goods for less money than any house not enjoying the advantage of of such a combination, the retail sales of which aggregate several million dollars annually The Foster and Besse System of Stores has been in existence for more than thirty-five years, and it is without question the most rational and easily understood evolution in the art of economical mer- chandising ever achived, and its result is not only success for its promoters, but a matter of practical household economy in every family that can avail themselves of the opportunity to make their purchases at one of the stores. We will take great pleasure in showing you our goods and prices that will convince you that it will be to your advantage, both in assortment and the prices we offer for you to trade with us.

DOVER, N. H. -ems^Sp 1904 The population of the town of North Berwick has been arranged herewith in families where that arrangement has been possible. In these families, 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 the parents are still living in the town. At the end of the Census will be found the names of non-residents with their present addresses, when such addresses have been given to us. The non-residents are indicated by the (*). Following the names of the population is the occupation. To designate the occupations we have used the more common abbrevia- tions and contractions. Some of these follow: Farmer — far; carpen- ter—car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an ad- vanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools — pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon — phy & sur; clergyman — clerg; merchant — mer; teacher — tr; black- smith — blk: clerk — cl; book-keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic — mech; engineer — eng; insurance^ins; maker — mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; shoe shop work — s s wk. This Census was taken during the spring of 1904, expressly for this work by E. M. Campbell, Kent's Hill, Me.
