The phys- ical advantages of the location, their burial place on Lane's Island, and the importance of the place to them from its situation in relation to other towns, lead the Indians to resist the advance of the whites with a hostility more indom- itable and deadly than they exhibited towards most other settlements in the state. Owing to this, the lands Id the interior continued to be laid waste and the inhabitants, though living near together, were often obliged to forsake their dwellings. Husbands and fathers were killed and wives and children carried into captivity. Compelled to carr^' arms in their walks, their labors and their worship, the inhabitants said: "There is no peace to him that goeth out nor to him that cometh in. We get our bread at the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness." Mr. William Scales, father of Deacon Thomas and Matthew 6 HISTORICAL Scales, was killed in the year 1725 on the Scales farm, and soon after Joseph Felt, father of Mrs. Peter Weare, was killed at Broad Cove, Felt's wife and children were carried into captivity and afterwards redeemed by Capt Weare. Joseph Weare, a grandson of Felt, never lost an opportu- nity to be revenged on the Indians. Several stories told concerning him, the truth of which the writer would not vouch for, are quoted from "01^ Times." Weare once lived near the bank of the Androscoggin river at Lewiston Falls. In some way he learned that a war party had planned to descend the river one dark night and attack the settlers in that vicinity. In order to prevent getting too near the falls in the darkness, they sent one of their number down the river to build a fire on the island some way above the falls. After nightfall Weare surprised and killed the sentinel, ex- tinguished the fire, and built another on the island just at the head of the falls, now known locally as Island Garden. The Indians, feeling secure as long as they were above the beacon light were caught in the rapids before they realized their danger and were carried over the falls to death. On another occasion Weare was splitting rails near his home when six Indians approached him and asked if he could tell them where Joe Weare lived, to which question the quick- witted old scout replied in the affirmative and offered to show them the person they sought as soon as he had finished splitting the log on which he was then at work. When "Joe" had driven in his wedge and had the log well opened he asked the Indians to help him by pulling on each side as he drove the wedge; to this the party agreed and took hold, three on HISTORICAL 7 each side, with their fingers in the crack of the log, when Weare, by a dexterous blow of the sledge, knocked out the wedge causing the seam to close like a vice upon their hands and leaving them at the mercy of their terrible enemy, who as he gave each a death blow^ with his axe shouted in theears of his victims: "I'm Joe Weare, d you, I'm Joe Weare." The hostility of Weare towards the Indians was never abated. He sw^ore to kill one for every drop ot blood they drew from the veins of his brother-in-law. Philip Greely, ancestor of the Greely family of this sec- tion, and of Portland, was killed Aug. 9, 1746, at the lower Falls, near the house of the late Mr. Daniel True, when a company of thirty-two Indians had secreted themselves intending to surprise Weare's garrison when the men should have gone to work. They w^ere discovered by Mr. Greely 's dog, else they had probably suffered him to T)ass unmolested. Though Mr. Greely lost his life, this probably saved the gar- rison. It was in a skirmish with the savages that Walter Gend- all, one of the bravest and foremost men of the early days was slain by a shot through the body. Separated from his men by the river he suddenly noticed that they ceased firing, and by their signal he knew that their ammunition was exhausted and that they were at the mercy of the savages. Against the entreaties of his wife and family he determined to risk the chance of death, by crossing the open river to save his men. He managed to get safely by the middle of the stream, but as the boat touched shore he received a bullet in the body and immediately expired, having only 8 HISTORICAL time to throw the ammunition ashore and say: "I have lost my life in 3'our service." The party were now enabled to maintain their ground till night came on when the Indians retreated. On Saturday, May 4th, 1756, a large party of Indians appeared at Topsham, where they separated, one party to go to New Meadows, and the other to North Yarmouth. The latter party, at day-break, on Sabbath morning, assaulted the house of Mr, Thomas Maines, at Flying Point, now Freeport, which, though well fortified, they finally entered. John Martin was in the chamber of the house with a loaded gun, but not being able in the darkness to find it, kept himself concealed. Mr. Maines, his wife and children, and a sister of Mrs. Maines, Miss Skinner by name, were draggedfrom the house, and Mr. Maines shot near by; mean- while Mrs. Maines and the children succeeded in regaining the house and fastening the door. A ball Irom the gun of an Indian entered the house and was fatal to an infant in the arms of Mrs. Maines. At length the Indians again entered the dwelling, but Martin, pointing his gun, which he had found, through the chamber floor, dropped one of them in the entry; retaining the sister of Mrs. Maines and bearing away their wounded man they hastily departed. Mr. Maines is said to have been the last inhabitant of the town to be killed by the natives. These are only a few typical illustra- tions of the warfare that was continually raging. To summarize the Indian wars which bore directly on the history of ancient North Yarmouth: In 1675 the Indians began a war of extermination, and the settlers were obliged HISTORICAL 9 to abandon their homes which were pillaged and burned. After three years, peace was made and the inhabitants returned to their desolate homes. In 1688 there was another outbreak. The saw mills were burned and many inhabitants butchered. Forced to abandon their homes the second time the few surviving set- tlers removed to Jewell's Island and built a fort there to protect themselves until they could return to Massachusetts. Soon after the breaking out of the war between France and England in 1744 hostilities were resumed, and for sev- eral years the savages sought the destruction of the English settlers. The old redoubt on Prince's Point behind which is a grass covered lawn succeeded by a beautiful grove was the annual resort of the Indians in the early days. The high bank to the left of the redoubt is for many rods composed of shells intermixed with soil which is the accumulation of these annual feasts. To the right the falling bank occasionally discloses an Indian skeleton showing this bank to have been to them the place of burial for their dead, and the feasts were probably held to the departed warriors. 10 HISTORICAL FIRST SETTLEMENT. The capacious bay adjacent, its fine harbors and numer- ous islands, its small but valuable river, fish, p;ame, and a bountiful supply of timber favorably situated for exporta- tion, early invited white settlers to No. Yarmouth. The town of No. Yarmouth was settled in 1680. It was origi- nally called Wescustogo, the Indian name for Royal River. But at its incorporation, which was the same year as its set- tlement, its name was changed to North Yarmouth. FIRST PURCHASE OF LAND. As early as 1640, Geo. Felt, born in 1600, lived in a stone garrison at Broad Cove on land which he purchased of John Phillips, a Welchman, who had probably before occu- pied it, and which in 1643 he repurchased of an agent of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, proprietor of Maine. About the same period William Royal, who came from England, was living on a farm on the east side of the river which bears his name. John Cousins as early as 1637 was living near the neck of land dividing the branches of Cousins River, and a little later (1645) purchased the island which bears his name. Other inhabitants at an early period were Richard Bray, who, in 1647, bought oae half of Cousins Island; James Lane; John Maine, on Maine Point; John Holman on Hol- man's (Princes Point); Thos. Reading on east side Cousins HISTORICAL 11 River; Thomas Wise, Thomas Shepherd, Nicholas White, Thomas Blashfield, Amos Stevens, and Walter Gendall. The settlement steadily grew and in 1674 a man by the name of Sayward erected the first saw mill at the lower falls on the east side of the river. The settlement had now existed for a period of from 30 to 40 years. About 1675 King Philip's war commenced, when the inhabitants fled to the westerly towns where they could be defended, and the mill recently erected and most of the dwellings were burned. SECOND OCCUPATION. Peace was again concluded at Falmouth, April, 1678, and the inhabitants, many of whom survived, began to return to their deserted homes. Walter Gendall purchased the tract of land on which H. Sayward had formerly built a saw mill, and rebuilt the structure. A brisk business was carried on. One half the mill rented for 50,000 feet of mer- chantable boards per annum. Acorn mill was now erected at the lower falls, and Gendall had a dwelling house on the east side of the river Royal, near his mills, and one of rude construction for his men on the opposite shore. This takes us up to 1680, when the town was incorpor- ated under the name of No. Yarmouth. A committee con- sisting of B. Gedney, Walter Gendall, Joshua Scotton and Silvanus Davis were appointed to superintend the laying out of the town. Under their direction the town was laid out on a spot then known as Maine's Point. The committee above named was soon superceded by the 12 HISTORICAL appointment of John Eoyal, John York, John Harris, and Walter Gendall as trustees of the town, and at a town meet- ing in Feb. 1685, grants of land were made to a large num- ber of the inhabitants. The families were now about 36 in number, located chiefly along the river and sea shore. They had now enjoyed a ten years period of peace and prosperity. The Indians had not molested them and they had not only repaired the havoc wrought by King Philip's war, but had made some advance. In 1688 the little colony of hardy settlers, now number- ing 160, was doomed to another disaster in the breaking out of King William's war. The Indians poured in upon them, and those who survived betook themselves to Jewell Island and thence to Boston. THIRD SETTLEMENT. No attempt was made to repeople the town until 1713 when the town had been desolate for about twenty-five years and the traces of habitation had almost been obliterated. But finally the sons, the grandsons, and a few of the old inhabitants, came back to the ashes of the former habita- tions. The settlement slowly revived and in 1722 the popula- tion was about 100. During that year, at the petition of the inhabitants and other claimants of the possessions in No. Yarmouth, the general court appointed a committee consisting of William Taylor, Elisha Cook, William Dudley, John Smith and John Powell to superintend the settlement. This committee directed the afi'airs of the settlement HISTORICAL 13 until 1733, when they proposed to the General Court that they be dismissed and that the settlement have the rights and privileges enjoyed by other towns. This proposal was agreed to and a town meeting was at once called and regular town officers chosen. The growth of the town was slow, due largely to the con- tinual wars with the Indians. After 1760 the Indians became less troublesome and people began to venture back three and four miles from the salt water, and the population of the town rapidly increased. The rest from wars, however, was soon interrupted by the war of the Revolution. The inhabitants of the town engaged with one voice in opposing the earlist acts of aggression by Great Britain. At an early meeting on the 20th of May previous to the Declaration of Independence the citizens voted that "Should the Honourable Congress for the safety of the united Colo- nies declare them independent of the kingdom of Great Brit- ain that inhabitants of this town do solemnly engage with their lives and fortunes to support Congress in the measure." After the war was over, and the work at the mills and on thefarms once more in progress the town made rapid strides in population and prosperity. Ship building became a prominent industry and later a cotton mill was erected. The business comprised six stores, saw, grist, fulling, card and paper mills, jewelry, clocks, cabinets, saddle, chaise and wagon shops, and three blacksmith shops. Two tanneries, brick yard, ship yard, two taverns and a busy stage line. 14 HISTORICAL INCORPORATION The earliest bounds of the ancient town of Westcustogo, or North Yarmouth, were, "beginning at the sea coast, at a white rock, adjoining Falmouth, N. W., eight miles, then N. E. about eleven miles, until intersected by a line running N. W. from the mouth of the Bungonug river and from the white rock and the mouth of the river, to extend S. E. to thesea." By these lines Mare Point, Merriconeag,Chebeague, and alarge number of minor islands, and Small Point at the mouth of the Kennebec river, were included within the limits of this venerable mother. Mare Point was set ofi to Brunswick in 1739 and Small Point to Georgetown in 1741. Merriconeag and the islands adjacent were incorporated as Harpswell in 1758. Freeport was set off and incorporated a town in 1789 (this town then included Pownal and was called "Harrisickett")- Cumber- land was set off and incorporated in 1821 and Yarmouth in 1849. This town is now a small township removed from the coast, but she is proud of her thrifty and enterprising children. The town of Cumberland was set off for the convenience of its citizens. They were far removed from the center of the town, which was then of considerable extent, and peti- tioned for their separation, in the spring of 1820.

The act of Incorporation was approved by the governor, William King, March 19, 1H21. The first warrant for a town meeting was issued by James Prince, Esq., and the first meeting held in the Con- gregation a list Church, April 9, 1821. David Prince was chosen moderator; then prayer was offered by Rev. Cyrus Cummings. James Prince was also chosen town clerk; and David Prince, William Buxton and Beza Blanchard, select- C2 18 HISTORICAL men and assessors. Ephrain Sturdivant was elected treas- urer. Two collectors were chosen, Ambrose Hamilton for the Islands, and Nat'l Sweetser "for the Maine," collection to be at 4%. Nine tythiujimen were chosen. At the next meeting, held May 25th follow inj2, appropriations v\ere made, including |550 for the support of schools; this was the largest sum appropriated at the meeting.

MILITARY MATTERS The military history of the towns of Cumberland and North Yarmouth is a source of just pride. If one thing more than another is to be revered and commemorated, impressed upon the minds of the rising generation, that thing is the record of names and deeds of men who faced the dangers of the battlefield for the welfare and safety of the country. Time rolls on and we are apt to forget the value of the service rendered by the soldier in war. Each succeeding generation is more forgetful of these things than its predecessor unless it is taught to revere and love the memory of the deeds of the soldier. It should be in the mind of each father and each mother to instill into the mind of the youth the significance of the inscriptions, "Killed at Gettysburg," "Wounded at Vicksburg,'' "died in Libby Prison," etc. No one should lose the opportunity to im- HISTORICAL 23 press upon the generation to which he belongs and the one which follows the responsibility which rests upon each man. It is with pleasure that we attempt to give the names of those who have served in the armies of the United States from these towns. The following list of soldiers from the town of Cumber- land has been compiled from the Maine Adjutant General's reports: Hiraih Annis, M. I). Adkins, A. S. Bean, E. J.

SCHOOL ITEMS We cannot do better than to cast a glance toward the typical common school as known in Maine in the early days. Even as soon as our forefathers, almost invariably of Puri- tan extraction, had located themselves in the forests ol the Pine Tree State and began their efforts of erecting churches, they made provision for the common school. They in com- mon with us of today considered education the bulwark of our institutions, the institutions for the establishment of which they had fought and bled. They knew therefore, bet- ter than we, how much depended upon the proper guidance of the newly established government. They saw their liber- ties and property, we had almost said, wrapt up in the future of the new government which Washington had said was "one 26 HISTORICAL today and thirteen tomorrow." Is it a strange thing that these people who so well understood the significance of these trying j'ears, 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 pio- neers prepared to meet it. A room in the little log cabin became the university of the wilderness and humble as was this first effort, mighty results came from it. From out of these rough, low-roofed structures walked men who were 3^et to meet the representatives of the courts of Europe, in the battlefield, in diplomac}^, and in scores of other capacities from which they were emerged unscathed. This system of education went on till it almost became a necessary thing for a man to reach the president's chair that he be able to present a career begun in "The Little Red Schoolhouse" in the backwoods hamlet. It was not that the people loved wealth and culture less, but that they loved the more the homely virtues inspired by the healthy atmosphere of the country. And as we look back today over the progress of our school system we dwell with pride upon the record it has made. But this system, like all others, was expected to ad- vance and it has advanced. The town of North Yarmouth, in common with other towns, reared the homely structures on the hillsides and at the cross roads, hired male teachers at $10 to f 15 a month, and female teachers at 75 cents to f 1.50 a week and this with the "Board Round" provision. The development of the public schools of the towns of Cumberland and North Yarmouth has been one of steady growth and advancement. The cause of education was HISTORICAL 27 greath^ assisted in 1858 by the establish iiieut of Greely In- stitute, which succeeded the temporary, local high school, and has given to the town an advanced institution of learn- ing which provides for its children an opportunity of lay- ing the foundation for a college course, or of fitting for normal work. The Chebeague Island high school was opened in April 1902 for the purpose of giving to the young men and women of this isolated locality the same privileges and possibilities of obtaining an education as are enjoyed by those in more favored localities. This school opened with 27 students and has made very satisfactory advancement. The town of Cumberland has a school fund of over $1300 which produces a sufficient dividend each year to assist very materially in supporting her town schools. GREELY INSTITUTE Greely Institute was founded by Hon. Eliphalet Greely, a native of the town, who bequeathed .|7,000 to erect a building, 120,000 as a fund for its support, and |1,000 to purchase a library. The selectmen of the to^Yn are ex- officio trustees. The principals of this Institute have been: Thomas J. Emery, 1867-68; Chas. Chamberlain, Isaac Quimby, George M. Seiders, W. H. Heramingway, John M. Hawkes, Chas. T. Hawes, D. B. Fuller, S. K. Hitchings, W. A. Hoyt, F. E. Parlin, H. N. Dunham, Wilson Nevens, Fair- field Whitney, A. M., E. L. Pennell, A. B., P. F. Williams, Everett Peacock, A. B., S. M. Hamlin, H. H. Randall, A. B., 28 HISTORICAL H. H. Williams, aod Clarence W. Pierce. Special mention should be made of the work of Prof. Fairfield Whitney, who remained in the school lor several years and was a popular and successful instructor. The school has always done f^ood work, and many of its g;raduates have filled positions of trust and honor. INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT SHIP BUILDING Naturally ship building was an early occupation since this was one of the things that was necessary to the early settlement. But it was not long before this became an im- portant commercial industry and the town of North Yar- mouth is known to have early held a large interest in navi- gation and shipbuilding, and ably supported the valued rep- utation gained by her early workmen. Yarmouth vessels were noted for their thorough con- struction, their graceful models and their superior sailing- qualities. With its unrivaled facilities for constructing and floating vessels this industry was one of the mosb profitable and substantial sources of wealth to the place. These vessels were built not only at the water's edge but back in the vicinity of Walnut Hill and elsewhere, in the very midst of the growing timber. They were then hauled HISTORICAL 29 by oxen in the winter down to the Falls, perhaps a distance of five or six miles, and deposited upon the ice in the river, or upon its shores, ready for the "Spring Openino;." Samuel Chase is said to have built several crafts in the vicinity of Walnut Hill. What was probably the last vessel built there was a craft of 40 or 50 tons which was hauled in the spring of 1843. The old ship 3'ards of Cumberland, where several of the older residents worked at shipbuilding-, are remembered by many of younger generatious. W^e find mention of two brigs, the " N. M. Haven" of 405.98 tons was built in 1863, and the "Woodside," 609.31 tons in 1866. "The Grape Shot," which made one of the swiftest trips around Cape Horn that is on record was also built here. PRESENT-DAY INDUSTRIES The mercantile industries now followed by the citizens of Cumberland and North Yarmouth are varied, and are often of a different nature than those which claimed the attention of preceeding- generations. There are yet a half dozen saw mills and one or two grist mills where formerly there were two or three times that number, and the manufacture of "shook" and staves is now nearly discontinued. Ship build- ing- is but a memory, and a source of just pride to the ven- ei-able citizens who, during the days of their 3^outh, and young- manhood, worked twelve hours each day at the stern labor which produced the sailing craft that was recognized abroad as of the best constructed anywhere on the Maine coast— or on the Globe. 30 HISTORICAL The fertile farms, which, extending- some distance back from the coast, have the peculiar distinction of being "rock- less", are generally well cultivated and repay the farmers b}^ producing good crops of hay, potatoes, corn, grain and garden truck. The soil in the east is a clayey loam, and except for trequent erosions is generally level. In the west the surface is somewhat broken by granite ledges. Ha}" and potatoes are shipped by railroad — of which these towns have exceptional accommodations— and many acres of sweet corn are planted for the canning factory. But farming is not now confined to agriculture, for hor- ticulture, stock raising and dairying, poultry farming and even trout farming have become of considerable commercial importance. These we will take up more full}' later. On Chebeague and the other islands the citizens are generally interested in fishing or are in the Government employ. Many of the Islanders are expert and skilled stone masons whose regular work is the construction of light- houses or breakwaters, generally for the V. S. Government. The fishermen are generally thrifty and prosperous, and partake of that hearty good nature characteristic of a fish- ing community. In detail, — the sawmills which are now in operation are Hollis Mountford's, L. H. Wilson's and O. S. Thomes', in Cumberland, and Isaac E. Hayes in North Yarmouth. Mr Mountford's saw and grist mill is at West Cumber- land on the brook which is the outlet of Goose pond. When Mr. Montford purchased the site about 40 years ago it was occupied by an old grist mill. He built a new mill and in- HISTORICAL 31 creased the water power bj improving- the dam. There was a cardino: mill located south of the bridoe, near Mr. Mount- ford's mill. The carding mill was run by a Mr. Purvis. "Grau, 1902. At the last gathering, which was held at the Walnut Hill Church, Wednesday, August 17, 1904, was assembled many who have made their homes beyond the borders of their mother state, aud who have made for themselves places and names which do honor to the noble precept and example of their ancestry. A day of enjoyment and the renewing of old acquaintances was participated in by all. Dinuer was provided in the vestry. Auld Lang Syne was sung as the closing hymn, after the officers were chosen for the folio wing- year. We regret to say we are unable to publish the newdy elected officers. Those for 1903-4 were Rev. J. S. Richards, Pres.; Chas. L. Dunn, 1st Vice Pres.; Gardiner Leighton, 2nd Vice Pres:; Chas. S. Sweetser, Sec. and Treas.; Chas. A. Allen, Chairman Com. ou Entertainment; Clarence G. Hatch, Chair- man Com. on Music; C. S. Sweetser, Chairman Com. on Dec- orations. CUMBERLAND FARMER'S CLUB The Cumberland Farmer's Club was organized at Cumb- erland Center in 1868, for the purpose of advancing the in- terests of the surrounding agricultural section. This organ- ization is participated in by North Yarmouth, Yarmouth, Falmouth, and Windham, as well as the citizens of the im- 44 HISTORICAL mediate locality. The organization was moved to West Cumberland soon after its organization. The exhibition grounds and trotting park is situated between the Center village and West Cumberland. The exhibition and fair is held for two days each season, and by its receipts, together with the State stipend received annually for that purpose, pays its expenses and the premiums, which are an important feature of the club. The present officers of the organization are: Pres. C. A. Merrill; Vice Pres. M. M. Burnham; Treas. N. M. Shaw; Sec. A. M. Crocker; Supt. of Grounds, M. M. Burnham; Supt. of Hall, E: L. Farwell; Marshall, S. L. Clough.

Census, 1904 The population ol the towns of Cumberland and North Yarmouth has been arranged in families where that arrange- ment has been possible. In these families, in addition to the resident living members, the names of the non-resident mem- bers 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. After the name of each non-resident will be found the present address, when such address has been given to us. The non-residents are indicated by the (*). In case a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage will appear after her given name in paren- thesis ( ), preceded by a small (m). Following the names of the population is the occu- pation. To designate the occupations we have used the more common abbreviations and contractions. Some of these iollow: Farmer — far; carpenter— car; railroad ser- vice— R R ser; student, a member of an advanced 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; blacksmith— blk; clerk— cl; book-keei)er — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic— mech; engineer — eng; insurance— ins; maker — mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; shoe shop work— s s work; fisherman — fm; mariner — mar; j^oultry — pit; mill operative — mill op; electrician — elec; painter — ptr; carriage work— car wk.
