George Weymouth landed on the coast, somewhere along the shore of Knox county, and after making extensive explora- tions, captured several of the natives whom he took back to Europe with him. We are unable, in this brief account, to give any details in regard to the many conflicts the early traders in this section had with these red men of tl;ie forest, or of their many attacks upon those who took their lives in their hands and left safe communities to make for themselves, in the land of the hostile savage, homes and a name that will ever be honored. This section does not seem to have been the permanent home of any tribe of Indians although HISTORICAL. the Tarratines were most frequently in possession. This tribe was a branch of the Warenocks or Etcliemin tribe of tlie eastern part of the state and were at one time perliaps the most powerful tribe in New England. When the trading posts or "truck houses" as they were called, were estab- lished here about 1830, the Indians were on friend- ly terms with the white visitors, and to some extent were pleased to share their spacious terri- tory with them in return for the many beautiful things the adventurers had to offer them. Gradu- ally the true situation daw^ned upon them and they became aware that their home, the natural wilds, and their liberty were in danger and from that time until there was no hope in lighting, they held a hostile position to the encroachments of the pale- faced squatters; and often waged futile war with the intention of exterminating this hated people. The -complete stt)ry has been often and beautifully told. We will only add that this state, where three centuries ago probably the foot of civilized man never trod, but the red man roamed the entire territory in quest of ^game or tish, today is dotted with innumerable dwellings and factories, and lined with railroads; while on the rivers, lakes and inlets of the sea, the red man's canoe has been completel}^ displaced b}^ the sailing craft and steamers of civilized man, while the native race has HISTORICAL become a memory only. True and pathetic are the words of Charles Sprague: "Alas for them, their clay is o'er, Their fires are out from hill and shore ; No more for them the wild deer bounds. The plow is on their hunting grounds ; The pale man's axe rings through their woods, The pale man's sail skims o'er their floods ; Cold with the beast he slew, he sleeps ; O'er him no filial spirit weeps ; No crowds throng round, no anthem notes ascend To bless his coming and embalm his end ; E'en that he lived, is for his conqueror's tongue, By foes alone his death song must be sung." EARLY EXPLORATIONS AND LAND GRANTS Few sections of the state are of more historical interest than that lying around the mouths of the great water courses, the earliest thoroughfares of the redmen, as also of his palefaced kinsman who succeeded him in the land. These highways of travel were often pursued by war parties of natives; later, when, war waged between the English settlers and the French, and still later, when we were at war with those with whom we niSTOKIOAL. had earlier stood side by side against a common foe. Tliese humble and peace loving pioneers were often in great danger of becoming exter- minated, when they were forced to bring every resource into action to face the dangers and the stern realities of a pioneer life. It is generally conceded that Capt. George Weymouth, an English navigator, who sought a northwest passage to China, is the first European who visited the locality at the mouth of the Penob- scot river, in 1605. We have no means of know- ing who were the European visitants, to these wild shores between that date and 1614, although the mountains of Camden served as a landmark to many voyagers, being often mentioned in their reports. The famous Capt. John Smith is the next whom we have authority to say explored these shores. He sailed from London Mar. 3, 1614, and arrived at Monhegan the last of April. Building several boats here, with eight of his men, he ranged the coast from Penobscot to Cape Cod, making observations and trading with the Indians. Smith, after returning to England, published a book describing his voyage and speaks of an Indian settlement at Camden, called Mecadducat. He wrote "The most northern point I was at was the bay of Penobscot. I found in the bay that the river ran far up HISTORICAL, into the land, and was well inhabited b}^ many people, but they were from their habitations, either fishing among the Isles or hunting the lakes and woods for deer and beavers." Doubtless this settlement was only the temporary habitation of a band of the Warenock Indians. There is now no trace to indicate where these tenants dwelt. Smith's object in publishing this book was to in- duce the people of England to form a colony, which, had he been successful, might have made this vicinity, instead of Plymouth, the nucleus of New England, but no settlements are known to have been made until after the lapse of over a century and a half. The Muscongus Patent was granted by the Council of Plymouth to John Beauchamp of London, and Thomas Leverett of Boston, March 13, 1629. The limits of the Patent extended from the river Muscongus to the Penobscot river on the seaboard, and ran back far enough to embrace an extent of territory equal to 30 square miles. On the death of Beauchamp j Leverett, as survivor, succeeded to the estate. In 1719 John Leverett, who was then president of Harvard College, repre- senting himself as sole heir of his grandfather's estate, came into possession of the whole Patent. Finding it difficvilt to establish his claim as vSole proprietor, he divided the estate into ten shares, granted one share to a son of Gov. Bradford, one 10 HISTORICAL. share to an adopted son of Sir Wm. Phipps, who brought into the company the Indian deed which his father had bouglit of Madocawando in 1694, and thus secured the title the Tarratines claimed in the territory — two shares to Ehsha Cook, and one each to four others, descendants of Thomas Leverett, holding two shares himself. These were known as the "Ten Proprietors." Soon after this twenty others became associated with them, when they were called the "Thirty Proprietors." After the treaty of Utrech, one David Dunbar, surveyor general of the woods to his Majesty, claimed a quit rent for the king. Fearing the loss of their right to the territory the thirty proprietors engaged the services of Brig. Samuel Waldo to go to England to obtain a relinquishment of the claims presented. After untiring application at court he succeeded in getting Dunbar removed, and in accomplishing his mission. On his return the thirty proprietors joined in surrendering to him for his services one half of the Patent. In 1732 Waldo caused his portion to be set off, and, by sending agents to Germany who held out attractive inducements to emigrants, soon formed quite a German colony at Broad Bay. Tradition sa^^s that Waldo died while locating the bounds of his Patent, in the vicinity of Eddington Bend. A short time previous to Waldo's death, it was HISTORICAL. 11 agreed to disolve the partnership existing between the different parties, owning the then Muscongus grant, but the necessary surveys were not made until after the death of Waldo. The Ten Pro- prietors and the Twent}^ Associates, as these two companies became designated, had agreed to accept as their proportion 100,000 acres each. The surveyors were delayed from year to year, until 1766, when John Jeffries, one of the twenty associates, and the heirs of others, b}^ petition obtained a warrant to call a meeting of the pro- prietors. The meeting was called on the 6th of Sept., when sixteen of the original twenty associates were represented. They chose a com- mitteee to confer with the heirs of Gen. Waldo respecting the 100,000 acres belonging to them and to report. This resulted in the selection by the twenty associates, of the territory now included in Camden, Rockport, Hope, Appleton, Montville and a part of Liberty. This was surve3^ed and set off, the deed bearing the date April 7, 1768. It was not until 1773 that the ten proprietors had their portion set off by the Waldo heirs. When, iUvStead of the 100,000 acres, the}" accepted 90,000 in one entire tract. The}^ supposing the Patent extended as far back as Bangor, selected Frankfort, part of Monroe, the whole of Hamp- den, and a large part of Bangor; but when the boundaries of the Patent were established it was 12 HISTORICAL. found that the northern Hne of Frankfort was the northern limit of the Patent. Thus the ten pro- prietors lost all they claimed except about 43,000 acres. Redress was sought but the proprietors never obtained any satisfaction for their loss. The rest of the Muscongus Grant, containing about 400,000 acres and including the territory south of that allotted to the twenty associates lying between the Penobscot and the Muscongus rivers, fell to the Waldo heirs, which was finally set off in a deed of severance about 1773, when it took the name of Waldo Patent. EARLY SETTLEMENTS The town of Thomaston, situated in the southern part of Knox county, was formed from the Waldo Patent. It lies at the upper end of the wider portion of St. Georges river, which practically gives the town a sea port. The town is also traversed by the Mill river and Messaweskeag Stream. The town contains about 21,000 acres of generally broken and undulating land. It is bounded on the north and east by Rockland and South Thomaston, on the south b}^ South Thomas- ton and the St. Georges River, and on the west by HISTORICAL. 13 the town of Warren. This town formerly com- prised the present city of Rockland and the tow^n of So. Thomas ton, both of which were set off and incorporated separate^' on July 28, 1848. The first settlement made in the present limits of the town of Thomaston was made in 1735 near the Warren line and was a part of the original survey made for the Upper Town of St George, when fifty lots were laid out by Gen. Waldo. The last five of these lots fell within the limits of what is now Thomaston, and were settled upon as follows: John Alexander on lot No. 46, (old Plan) this lot lay along the Oyster River and the east bank of St Georges; Henry Alexander, lot No. 47; Moses Young, lot No. 48; Thomas Kirkpatrick, lot No. 49; and John Kirkpatrick, lot No. 50. Beside and below these lots were the lime stone quarry at the present prison, the land around the old fort known as the Fort-farm, and the mill site on the Mill river, as well as several other mill privileges, and lime kilms at the river shore, reserved by the Proprietors for their own use or for further disposition. These five families, like those on the other lots now in the town of Warren, were of Scotch-Irish descent; here they proceeded to construct their first rude log-cabins in this wilderness, almost unbroken, notwithstanding the fact that the first trading post was established here in 1630. The life of the early pioneers was 14 HIST0KIC4L. destined to many hardships caused by the jealousy of the Indians, and the fear of losing their lands if the white settlers continued to increase their settlements. The first tax assessed on the people here was in the year 1760 when the count}^ of Lincoln was formed. £4, 5s. 8d. were apportioned to the Upper St. George Plantation which included the present Warren and Thomaston as far as Mill River. In 1762 the garrison, which had so long resided in the fort, was discontinued. The guns, ammunition etc. were left under the care of its late commander, Capt. North, still residing within the barracks. With the cessation of war emigrants began to come to the settlements. Among the earliest of these was Oliver Robbins, who came from Attleboro, Mass. in 1762, with his wife and seven children; and built the first framed dwelling- house in the present limits of old Thomaston. The house was raised on Christmas, 1763, on one of the three lots just below Mill River and near the St Georges, which he took up, and occupied during his life. He w^as long succeeded by his posterity. Jonathan and Nathaniel Crockett, with their father, were early residents here. The former married one of Mr. Robbins' daughters. Later he settled in what is now Rockland. Wm. Gregor}^ came the same year, 1762, from Walpole, Mass., and lived in the fort carrying on the fort-farm, as it HISTORICAL. 15 was called. In 1763 Mason Wheaton came from Providence, R. I. and under a lease from the Proprietors of a large part of the Fort farm commenced and for many 3^ears carried on the manufacture of lime at Lime stone Hill, the present Prison quarry. Associated with him as partners in this business as well as in a store, kept first in the Fort, were Simon Whipple and Samuel Briggs; the last of whom was, the following year, 1764, licenced as an innholder and opened the first tavern in the place. Wheaton lived at first in a log house, back or east of what is now Wadsworth Street, near the spring sometimes called Knox Spring. He subsequently built, a little farther to the west, a small one-story house which he after- ward enlarged, adding a second story: this stood a long time and was known as the "Old Castle". Daniel Morse, a wheelwright, married a sister of Mr. Wheaton, and settled on one of the Meadow farms. Thomas Stevens, a shoemaker of Fal- mouth, settled near Mr. Morse. Dr. David Fales came here about this time as surveyor and agent of the Waldo Proprietors. He came from Dedham, Mass., where he had practiced surveying, and he was also qualified to engage in the medical pro- fession; but here he became known as "Squire". He took up his abode in the Fort where two of his children were born, and where he taught school, following his other professions as occasion required. 16 HISTORICAL. He afterwards opened a tavern in his own log cabin which he built on his lot above Robbins's. In 1768 James Fales, a cousin to David, came from Dedham and went onto the farm situated next below tlie Robbins lots, but in 1774 he sold this farm to James Stackpole and removed to a new lot in that part of the old town bordering on Lermond's Cove. In October, 1779, Nathaniel, brother to Dr. David, came from Norwich, Conn., and with his wife and seven children settled on the lot next north of his brother's. Mr. Fales, after- ward Capt., was a house carpenter and constructed some of the early framed houses of this section. Two other settlers who came here and settled on the land now incorporated in to the town of Thomaston were; Oliver and Abiather Smith, who came from Norton, Mass. The former was a blacksmith, and had shops about a quarter of a mile north east of Mill River Bridge. After the fear of molestation by the Indians subsided scattered settlements were made in different parts of this section, but the entire number of families was not large until after the Revolution, when the towns scattered throughout the Province of Maine that had so long struggled for almost a mere existence, were. flocked to by many who sought to better their fortunes in this, "the Promised Land" of New England. HISTORICAL. 17 INCORPORATION In 1773 the lower town of St. George, then in- cluding the southern part of Thomaston, wished to be incorporated as a township, and accordingly invited the settlers at Meduncook, now Friend- ship, to unite with them but they were averse to doing so and the matter passed over. Three years later the upper plantation of St. George became in- corporated as the town of Warren, including the territory as far as tlie old saw mill at Mill River. The settlers here, being reluctant to separate from their old neighbors the other side of Mill river, and not altogether pleased with the new town above, immediately got up a petition for another new town. This petition was granted, and on the 20th of March, 1777, an act was passed "for dis- annexing the easterly part of the town of Warren, in the County of Lincoln, from said town and in- corporating the same with the easterl}^ part of a plantation called St. George's in said County, into a town by the name of Thomastown." The tract set off from Warren, about 6,000 acres, was bounded on the N. W. by a line "beginning on the easterly side of St. George's River at the westerly corner of John Alexander's lot, from thence running N. 32° E. about seven miles to the line of the township called Camden." This is the HISTORICAL. present line between Warren on the one side, and Thomaston and Rockland on the other. The other bonndaries were as follows: beginning at the same western corner of John Alexander's lot, "thence running south westerly and southerl}^ by St. George's river to a line at a spruce tree marked No. 23 and 24 on the Neck on the eastern side of said river, thence running E. S. E about three miles between the lots marked No. 23 and 24 across the Neck to the seashore; thence south- easterly by Muscle Ridge Ba}^ so called, easterly and northeasterly by Owl's Head Bay; thence northwesterly about five miles by Camden line aforesaid to where it intersects the first mentioned line, together with all the islands that lie within three miles of the main land and within the direction of the lines that run to the Sea. It is not definitely known for whom the town was named, but is generally conceded to have been in honor of John Thomas, a major general of the United States Army. Major Wheaton was evi- dently the most active resident in carrying through the measure making the place an incorporate town, the amount allowed him for his services the following July was £?>9^ 8s, 8d. David Fales account allowed at the same time, probably for surveying and giving a description of boundaries, and other writings, was ^5, 14s. At the time of incorporation the town con- IirSTOKICAL. 19 tained 47 persons possessing ratable estates, and ten others paying only a poll tax. Names of other settlers who had located near the St. George previous to this, whose names we have not already mentioned were; James Weed, Samuel and James Brown, and Israel Lovett all of whom are supposed to have come here from New Meadows or Harps well, with James Stackpole in 1774, and settled below the Robbins lots along the river bank. Taler, Joseph, and David Smallee came to the St. George at an early date. The first town meeting was called on Monday the 21st day of April, 1777, at the dwelling house of Oliver Robbins. David Fales was chosen moderator and the assembly immediately adjourn- ed to his house where the remainder of the session was held. Dr. Fales was also chosen town clerk. The other ofificers chosen at this first town meeting were: Col. Mason Wheaton, Lieut. John Mathews, and David Fales, Esq., selectmen and assessors; Col. Wheaton treas.; Capt. Jonathan Spear, Lieut. Mathews and Jonathan Crockett, committee of correspondence, inspection, and safet}^; Elisha Snow, constable; Oliver Robbins, Capt. Spear, and David Smallee, wardens; Isaiah Tolman, James Stackpole, and Taler Smallee, Surveyors of highways; O. Robbins, tythingman, and several other minor officers. It was an early custom to "warn out" all 20 HISTORICAL. transients and new comers, this was made a law here and the constable charged to give the matter especial attention. The object of this custom was to prevent paupers becoming town charges. In 1795 the first legal post-office was established here; this was called Thomaston postoffice but served for man}^ of the inhabitants of the sur- sounding communities. Previous to this Col. Wheaton had acted as private postmaster for some of the citizens who hired George Russell of Castine to carry mail between that place and Wiscasset. The Colonel's son, James D. Wheaton was appoint- ed the first Postmaster for the government, and served in this capacity for many years. 1795 — Major General Henry Knox, Secretary of War under Washington, resigned his com- mission and moved to this town. 1806 — North Parish including most of what is now Thomaston and Rockland, was incorporated by act of the General Court, March 10. 1823 — After the separation from Massachusetts in 1820, it became necessary to establish a state prison in Maine. The Legislature chose the Town of Thomaston for the location, and Limestone Hill was chosen by the committee. Ten acres were purchased for the purpose, including the quarry so long used by Wheaton, Knox, and others; and construction under the superintendency of Dr. Daniel Rose, of Boothbay, was begun. HISTORICAL 21 1825 — The Thomaston National Bank, the first institution of its kind in this section, was estabhsh- ed, also the "Thomaston Register," the first weekly newspaper published in the town, was established. 1828 — The first sidewalks were laid, in the west "village" in July. The Mall was also laid out and bordered with elms. 1828 — Thomaston Mutual Fire Insurance Co. was incorporated. At the time of dividing the town in 1848, the valuation of the three towns formed from old Thomaston as agreed upon by their selectmen was: Thomaston, $628,678; East Thomaston, $1,047,372; South Thomaston, $245,- 947. MILITARY MATTERS Every citizen of this, land of libert}^ should feel a deep love for the noble men who have re- deemed this land from a wilderness and a savage foe; have thrown off the oppressive yoke of English imperialism, and again, demonstrated to their conquered but unreconciled mother country their rights on the sea as well as on the American continent; have challenged the cause of liberty 22 HISTORICAL. and a weaker people against a superior foe, in 1845, and again in 1898; but most of all should we reverence those who, leaving their own northern and protected homes, enlisted in the cause of Liberty for another race, and for the preservation of the Union when a misled constituency sought its overthrow. These are the men who have made it possible for us of today to enjoy the greatest liberty of thought and action, so long as we abide by the necessary laws for its maintenance, of an}^ people of the earth; these are the men who have opened the way for the establishment of our great manufacturies and industries, which give employment to every honest man, and place with- in his means greater luxuries than were at the command of our wealthiest ancestors. The part taken b}^ the coast towns in the Revolution was an active one. Of Capt. Philip M. Ulmer's company in Col. McCobb's regiment formed of drafts from the neighboring places, between Waldoboro and the Penobscot Bay, were John Mathews, First Lieut.; Joseph Coombs, First Ser.; Mathew Watson, Corp.; Jonathan Crockett, John Miller, Chas. Jameson, John Blackington, Ephraim Snow, Richard Keating, Ichabod Bar- rows, Jacob Keen, Joseph Ingraham, and James Heard, privates. The bravery displayed by this company at the attack on fort Castine at the time of the famous Biguyduce expedition showed the HISTORICAL. 23 kind of men that obtained liberty although fight- ing the King's well disciplined troops. Previous to this voluntary enlistments had been made in the army by Samuel Tolman, John Carlton and John Thompson, probably others. Several of the coasting vessels were brought into service, and often wild and depressing scenes were witnessed in this generally humble community. An execu- tion under martial law, the first, and perhaps the only one that ever took place in the state, was made in 1780. Jeremiah Braun, residing back of Damariscotta, being the victim. Not a few of the property holders of the town were damaged by the tories in the community and the British seamen who preyed on the fishing and coasting craft. After the close of the war little attention was given to military matters until 1798 when the North and South Companies of Militia were formed: David Fales Jr. was chosen captain of the former, and Ephraim Snow of the latter. Two years later a Cavalry Company, the first in this section, was organized, being composed of citizens of this town and Camden. The first set of officers were Wm. Gregory, Jr., Capt.; Philip Hanson, first lieut.; Dr. Isaac Barnard, second lieut.; and David Gay, cornet. Near the close of 1812, and the beginning of .1813 a company of Coast Guards, to the number of sixty or more from this town and Camden, 24 HISTORICAL. were enlisted for one year; of which John Spear was captain, Isaac Russ of Camden, first Heut; Leonard Smith, second Heut; Thomas Tolman, ensign; Jere. Berry, orderly ser.; Asa Sartell, Freeman Harden and Richard Smith, sergeants; James Spear, drummer; and the following from this town served as privates: Wm. Singer, John Butler, 4th, Wm. Walsh, Wm. Walsh, 2nd, Asa Brewster, Asa and Thomas Crockett, Rufus and Isaac Spear, Moses Heard, George Wooster, Job Tower, Geo. W. Stevens, Mr. Harding, Jos. Hasty, James Shibles, Simeon Blood, and James Watter- son. In other companies enlisted here during the year were Jabez Morse, an orderly ser. who enlisted Robert and Samuel Creighton, James and Henry Tings, Issac Robbins, Finley Kelloch, Henry M. Wight, and Pompey Brown. Others who enlisted from this town and died in the field, or settled elsewhere were Caleb Young, Ebenezer Smith, Ward Russell, and Ben). Hastings. On the 27 of Sept., 1814, a detachment of one company of militia w^as made from Thomaston and St. George, under the command of Capt. Thos. Kenney of St. George, Lieut. Sullivan Dwight from the north company in Thomaston, and Ensign Ralph Chapman of the south company. These troops were stationed through the towns doing guard duty forty days. Scenes such as took place during the Revolution were repeated on the sea, and it HISTORICAL. 25 was a great relief to the coast towns when the Treaty of Peace was signed. The next time troops were demanded from this loyal town was after the lapse of nearly half a centur3^ Those who had fought on the former occasions had then given place to a succeeding generation, but- one in which the same blood and spirit was shown. We give an incomplete list of those who enlisted in the Civil War. The whole number of those credited to the town of Thomas- ton, was 329, these were of the number, viz: Orlando Andrews, S. H.

The first man skilled in the art of medicine located here, was Dr. David Fales, noted for his activity in nearly all the early affairs of the place. 30 HISTORICAL. Dr. Ezekiel G. Dodge came in 1789, and soon after Benj. Webb came from Union and studied with him. He began practicing here with Dr. Dodge, and remained until 1795, when he moved to War- ren, but returned in 1802, having retained liis practice here the while. In 1806 he moved to Owl's Head Point, where he was also engaged in trade until 1813, when he removed to Zanesville, Ohio. Dr. Isaac Barnard, another student of Dr. Dodge's, later located in the eastern part of the town and became a rival of his old master. Jacob K. French located in Jenk's Tavern about 1803 and remained in the place, in practice, for forty- six years. In 1804, he was followed by Isaiah Gushing, a graduate of Harvard University. David Kellogg was also another leading physician, com- ing in 1818. He began in partnership with Dr. Dodge, but soon he commenced on his own ac- count at Mill River village, where he remained until 1842, when he removed to Waukegan, 111. M. R. Ludwig began practice here in 1825 and be- came a leading physician in the town and sur- rounding community. Others about this time, or not long after, were: Joseph Huse, Daniel Ross, Jr., and John Merrill. We are unable to give the list complete down to the present time, as our space must be given to more general matter. Those now practicing in town are: John E. Walker and G. L. Crockett, al; A. P. Heald, hom; HISTORICAL. 31 Jerome Bushnell, bot; and W. J. Johnson, dentist. LAWYERS. The early members of the bar were not so busy nor so important members in the early town- ship as were the early physicians, when acting in their professional capacity, yet the services they rendered in other lines, and sometimes in matters of legal decision, were of inestimable value to the community. The first of this class to locate here was Samuel Jennings, a graduate of Harvard, who came about 1796, but who found his profes- sional services in little demand, except as a scriv- ener. A Mr. Thatcher was another who played the part of an early legal adviser. Elias Phinney came in 1804. He was employed by the town as agent to adjust the matter of a new county road, which the town had neglected to make by Tol- man's Pond. He remained here eight 3^ears and had a great run of business. In 1812 he removed to Mass. In 1818 John Ruggles opened a law of- fice at Mill River, when he entered upon his long and successful career; the names of many men prominent at the early bar are associated with his as his students here. Grenville Mellen moved to Thomaston from Portland in 1822, supplying the place of a Mr. Wilkins, another early practi- tioner; Mr. Mellen remained but one year here 32 HISTORICAL. when he went to North Yarmouth, later to Bos- ton, and then to New York, and estabhshed his reputation as an author and a poet. Jonathan Cilley was the most widely known of any who have practiced here. He and Wm. J. Farley, also an able lawyer, came to Thomaston the same year, 1825. Mr. Cilley was a leader in the Demo- cratic party and filled many important offices; he served as representative to the Legislature where he was chosen speaker, and in 1836 was elected a representative to Congress. The story of Mr. Cilley 's career and of his death in 1838 in a duel with Wm. J. Graves, a member from Kentucky, is well known, and is too long to give here. By the death of this bright, energetic, courageous leader the State of Maine lost one of the most promising young men that have ever gone from her borders. The disaster was lamented at home and abroad as a lamentable affair. Especially touching were the tributes paid him by those who knew him best, and by those of his political enemies over whom his superior power had caused him to triumph. He was buried April 19 in Elm Grove cemetery, where a monument, costing $600, was erected by members of his party, in 1841. Other members of the earl}^ bar, who were located in the western part of old Thomaston were: Mr. Knowles, John S. Abbot, George Abbott, Man- assah Smith, Joseph Sprague, Lucius H. Chandler, HISTORICAL. 33 John Holmes (1838), Hewett E. Milson, Edward O'Brien, A. P. Gould, Chas. E. Butler, John O. Robbinson and others. Members of this profes- sion now located here are J. H. H. Hewett, J. E. Moore, and A. N. Linscott. GEN. HENRY KNOX Probably no one man has done more for the town of his adoption than did Maj. Gen. Henry Knox for this town after he resigned as Secretary of War under Washington, and removed to Thomaston, where he engaged in so extensive business operations as to eclipse all others about him. In the army this man, by his great ability and moral worth, rose from a minor officer to a place next only to that of the great leader and deliverer of the nation. He won honors at Trenton, Princeton, Germantown, and Monmouth; as well as many earlier engagements. At the closing scenes of Yorktown he was rewarded by Congress with a commission of Major General. As a mark of Washington's appreciation of his services, Knox was selected to receive the sword of Cornwallis when that commander was forced to make the surrender that forever sealed the inde- pendence of America from the mother country; and, on the conclusion of peace he was entrusted 34 HISTORICAL. with the difficult and dehcate business of disband- ing the American army at West Point. Gen. Knox became proprietor of the entire estate of tlie Waldo heirs, including most of the present Knox and Waldo counties, except that which had been disposed of previous to 1790. This he acquired partly by purchase and partly by his marriage with Lucy Flukner. Upon his arrival in Thomas ton, at the age of fort}^ 3^ears, he constructed a residence such as was scarcely rivaled in the County at the time. He built wharves and ships, manufactured lime very ex- tensively and, until his death was the leading spirit of the town. He also offered inducements to settlers to come to the place and furnished work for those of all classes. His sudden death in 1806, caused by swallowing a chicken bone, was a great blow to the community. He was much lamented by a people who had found in him a man ever in- terested in their welfare, and one who had made of Thomaston one of the most active towns in the state. He was buried the 28th of October, with military honors, his body being placed in a tomb not far from his residence. This has since been removed, and now lies in the cemetery on the hill behind the village. General Knox was beloved by all those who knew him, and took an active interest in the Church in town. He gave liberally to it support, and also gave the first bell that called HISTORICAL 35 this humble people to Christian worship. He also filled several places of honor and trust in political and state affairs being ever honored for his clear and broad intellect, his firm statesmanship, and his deep love of humanity. SCHOOL ITEMS The first schools in the settlement were of a private nature, the teachers being hired by sub- scription. Dr. David Fales taught in the old Fort, and later in his new log cabin; he was the first in- structor in the place. Another early teacher was John Sullivan, a native of Dublin, Ireland, who taught here in 1778 with marked success. On account of the straightening circumstances brought upon the people by the war the matter of supporting schools by the early town was some- times neglected, but schools were provided irregu- larly. Thomas Emerson was employed in 1787. He was successful, and taught for a few years. John Fairbanks, who was also the first singing master, taught here and in Warren. The many changes in the system of managing schools in the towns of Maine, most of which 36 HISTORICAL. have been substantially the same, is interesting to follow. From the private school we have noticed how it passed into the hands of the town; as the neighborhood extended its borders and scholars became more numerous it became necessary to divide the town into "school districts" as they were termed, this was done in this town in 1790. The first teachers were hired by individuals, by Mr. Snow in this town, but later a school com- mittee was appointed in each town to look after the atfairs of education. In 1825 a new state law was passed, to the effect that school agents should be chosen, sometimes by the district, sometimes by the town. This system was long continued until it gradually became replaced by the choos- ing of a superintendent and a school board to look after the schools of the town; this system seems to be the most efficient 3^et adopted, but will doubt- less be succeeded before many years by uniting several towns into one large district and appoint- ing efficient men who shall give this important matter their undivided attention. But to return to our early schools; the follow- ing are some of the early teachers here. Those after 1798 were chosen by the school committee, which system was adopted here in 1799: John Holland, Abraham Gushe, Mrs. Robert Snow, Oliver Beals, Samuel Rinds, in 1798; Martin Marsh, Sabre Fales, Joseph Underwood, in 1799; HISTORICAL. 37 Mrs. Micah Packard, Ruth Perry, Betsey Under- wood, Eben Newell, in 1800; and Robert D. Sulli- van in 1801. Of these Holland and Marsh settled in town. The school agent system was not adhered to very long in this town as it was not found satisfactory, the old system was reverted to. A Baptist Seminary situated in Charleston, Me., was moved to Thomas ton in 1838 and the following year incorporated as the Thomaston Theological Institution, and Hotel Knox was rented for its use; the institution, however, lacked financial support and was soon discontinued. HIGH SCHOOL Thomaston Academy was established in 1844. The aid of the state was given by the gift of half a township of land for its support in 1845. The school was opened in the vestry of the Congrega- tional church in 1847, under the care of Mr. E. Hutchinson as instructor. The Academy building was erected the following year at a cost of $3000. In 1860 this was selected by the state for holding two terms a year as a Normal School, but this was not long continued. The old Academy building is now occupied by the high school which is the outgrowth of the organization as an academy of learning. 38 HISTOllICAL. EDUCATIONAL NOTES The town of Thomaston has not in the least allowed the light of education to become dimmed in the more recent years of her history. From 1860 down to the present time there has been a steady advance in the efficiency of her provisions for the youth. With the advent of the high school in its more complete development as an institution in the state of Maine, Thomaston effort became still more pronounced. She at once forged in the front rank of Maine towns and was one of the hrst to adopt the Prussian, or grade system. Under the efficient supervision of Dr. G. L. Crockett the printed course of study was introduced, covering a Latin Scientific and English Course. The school buildings are furnished with up-to- date equipments and plenty of new books. The High School building contains a new chemical laboratory which compares favorably with any of our secondary school laboratories in the state. A course of systematic reading has been also introduced and has been productive of beneficial results. The town today supports nine different schools and employs fourteen teachers. Six of the nine buildings are connected with the sewers. HISTORICAL. 39 CHURCH AFFAIRS The early church in this locaHty was con- sidered a part of the general town affairs, and was managed by vote of the town after that body be- came incorporated. Provision was made by the early towns for instruction in religion as well as on secular subjects. The early pioneers of this section were mostly Presbyterians, and they had meeting places at both the upper town and the lower town, which were attended by those residing in what is now Thomaston. BAPTISTvS In 1784, Rev. Isaac Case, a young Baptist minister from Hallo well, came to the place and established the first church of this denomination in old Thomaston, now So. Thomaston; this was the second of that denomination in the state. This church was constituted in Oliver Robbins' barn and contained about fifty members. Rev. Mr. Case aroused much interest, and was eminent- ly successful during the eight years he labored with the people here. He was succeeded as pastor by Rev. Elisha Snow, who became a valuable citizen in the community; but the history of this church belongs to South Thomaston. This church 40 HISTORICAL. was the mother of the present Thomaston societ3\ The first church erected m town was called the Town or Congregational Meeting- House, and was erected in 1795, by subscription of the people. This edifice, however, was sold to the Baptists in the town about 1825, and became the First Baptist Church in West Thomaston. The Baptists con- tinued to worship in this edifice until supplied by more modern conveniences. In the steeple of this church hung the first bell ever heard in the place, the gift of the generous Gen. Knox. The Baptist church was constituted on Jan. 20, 1816; there were seven men and thirteen women who comprised the organized society. These held their meetings monthly in the district school house, being supplied by Rev. S. Baker six communion sabbaths in the year, and three each by Elders Ames of St. George and Fuller of Warren. In 1819 Rev. John Wakefield came from Waterville and w^as ordained, and installed as pastor of this church the following year. He was soon called to Warren, and was followed in this church by Rev. Job Washburn in 1822. He labor- ed faithfully and well until 1841. During his pastorate, in Dec. 1836 the church was divided, and the First Baptist Society of West Thomaston established. This new society continued to worship in the old house and the old society built a nice new edifice at a cost of over $11,000. Those HISTORICAL. 41 who have served this church as pastors since 1841 have been: Reverends Wm. Lamson, 1841-42; Alvah Felch,, 1842-43; L. B. Allen, 1844-48; L. D. Roice, 1848-51; O. O. Stearnes, 1851-54; I. Sawyer, 1854-58; L. D. Hih, 1858-62; Thos. Atwood, 1863- 64; B. F. Shaw, D.D., 1866-68; C. M. Emery, 1868- 74; G. P. Mathews, D.D., 1875-83; and Rev. W. A. Newcombe, the present pastor who has remained since 1844. The society owns a parsonage situat- ed on the corner of Lowell and Dunn streets, the home of the pastor. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The Congregational church in Thomaston was organized on the 15th of June, 1809; under the direction of the town, or North Parish, so called. During the preceding year the resident voters of this parish had installed the Rev. John Lord as pastor of the parish and voted funds to his support. There were twelve members in the new church, of which seven were men. Rev. Mr. Lord remained with the church until 1811, but it was found difficult to raise his salary during this trying season. In the troublous years between 1811 and 1817 occasional supplies filled the pulpit, no regular pastor being engaged. During the latter year Rev. John K. Ingraham, a zealous preacher, came to the parish and was installed as 42 HISTORICAL. pastor of the church. He remained until 1829, and awakened the church to renewed endeavor. During his pastorate 146 members were added to the church. In 1826 the relationship between the church and the town as a parish was discontinued, and a new society "the First Congregational Society in Thomaston" was formed, but which was virtually a continuation of the old town parish. Richard Woodhull, a graduate of Bow- doin College, was the next pastor, being ordained July 7, 1830. He remained for twenty-five years, doing excellent work in the church and com- munity, where he won the respect of all. Suc- ceeding him as pastors, with the terms of their service, were the following: Levi G. Marsh, 1855- 57; A. Stowell, 1857-8; James McLean, 1859-61 James Orton, 1861-63; Javan K. Mason, 1864-77 Chas. H. Pope, 1878-82; Chas. A. Marsh, 1883-85 Joseph W. Strout, 1885-93; Clayton D. Boothby, 1894-1901; and Edgar M. Cousins, the present efficient pastor, who began his work in 1901. The present house of worship, situated on Main St. between Knox and Gillchrist Sts., is a beautiful modern structure, built about thirty years ago at a cost of about $17,000 including fix- tures. The corner stone was laid Oct. 9, 1871, and the edifice dedicated Aug. 8, 1872. A pipe organ was installed a few years later at a cost of $2,500. The society also owns a parsonage at the HISTORICAL. 42a head of Elm street which has been long used for that purpose. The entire churcli property is valued at nearly $20,000 and is free from debt. The First Baptist Church in West Thomaston formed by dividing the society of Baptists in 1836 did not flourish. In 1841-2 there was a revival under the pastorate of Rev. Daniel Small when the church reached considerable importance, but the gradual removal of business from Mill River took away its supporters, until today this branch of the churcli is only a memory. In the year 1841 the First Universalist Society of West Thomaston erected a house of worship. The society had been formed eight years before, and F. W Baxter acted as pastor, followed in 1842 by Rev. Henry C. Leonard. The society support- ed preaching for some years but did not engage regular pastors. Now this society like that mentioned above, has passed into the forgotten. METHODLST CHURCH The Methodist society is of more recent form- ation, but is one of the strongest societies in the town today. The church was incorporated about 1860 when Rev. J. N. Marsh began his services as pastor. The church edifice was enlarged and remodeled in 1895-6 at an expense of about $6,000, and the parsonage, purchased in 1858, cost from 42b HISTORICAL. $1,500 to $2,000. The estimated value of the present property is nearly $11,000. Those who have acted as pastors of this church since its organization with the dates of their appointments are as follows: I860, J. N. Nash; 1861, William J. Wilson; 1862, L. D- Wardwell; 1864, E. A. Ilelmershausen ; 1865, E. F. llinks ; 1866, T.B. Tapper; 1868, B. S.Arey; 1871, Cyrus Stone; 1874, L. H. Bean; 1875, C. E. Libbey; 1878, W. H. Williams; 1880, Ammi Prince; 1883, S. L. Hanscom ; 1886, C. B. Besse; 1886, C. A. Plumer; 1893, A. W. C. Anderson; 1894, C. E. Bean; 1896, S. L. Hanscom; 1899, W. II. Dunnack ; 1902, A. H. Hanscom; 1904, L. L. Hanscom. ST. JOHN BAPTIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH The first services of the Protestant Episcopal church were held in the Unitarian meeting house in 1867 b}^ Rev. Daniel F. Smith, then rector of St. Thomas church in Camden. Later the Rev. Julius Ward came to take charge, and the corner stone of the church of St. John the Baptist was laid in 1868 from designs by Mr. F. H. Fassett of Portland. In 1872 Mr. Edward O'Brien gave the bell and contributed largely toward the building of the bell tower. In 1875 Mr. Ward was succeed- ed by the Rev. Robert C. Caswell, who, a year later was succeeded by the Rev. William Walker. From 1883 services were maintained by a lay reader, George Washbin-n, till the Rev. Frederick HISTORICAL, 42c Tower took charge of the parish. He remained two years and was succeeded by the Rev. Carroll E. Harding. In September 1887 the church was in charge of the Rev. Henry Jones, rector of St. Thomas church, Camden, till September, 1890; when the Rev. John S. Moody in charge of St. Peters church of Rockland joined that to his work. In 1898 the Rev. Russell Woodman succeeded Mr. Mood}^ and is the present rector. The value of the church property is about $4,300, including the rectory valued at $900. INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT As early as 1630 a truck house was established here at the fort. This was built for trading with the Indians and was continued for about a century and a half. When Samuel Waldo obtained full possession of that part of the Muscongus Patent, afterwards known as the Waldo Patent, about 1732, he made experiments on the limestone around Limestone Hill and, finding it valuable, hired Robert Mclntyre to construct kilns for pre- paring it for the market. This was the beginning of this great industry in this section of the state. 42(1 HISTORICAL. Waldo then made plans for an extensive settle- ment; he built a saw mill on Mill river near where a former one had stood, which had been used by the garrison. This mill was the site of several mills during the early years of the settlement, and has well deserved the name it has borne ever since the first mill was located on its banks. The first lime kiln, located near the present prison quarry, was under the direction of the builder, Mr. Mc- Intyre, who built another soon after and did quite an extensive business. Sloops were employed to transport the lime to Boston where a ready market was had; this was perhaps the principal shipping done here at the time. But an important business with the early men here was fishing, and also hunting, until the valuable game of the forest became extinct. The development of the lime industry became rapid. In 1794, it being no longer monopolized by the patentees, not less than v35 kiln were burned from three to five times a year consuming at each burning about 25 cords of wood and yielding 200 casks of 50 gallons each. The market price was between 10s and lis, giving the producers about 6s net over the cost of production. Tanning and shoemaking business was begun in this part of the town in 1795, by Philip Hanson who came from Dover, N. H. He located on Mill river, and became one of the most active men in HISTORICAL. 42e the early town. Ship building began to be an important industr}^, and was engaged in by Mr. Hanson, Joshua Adams, and others in this part of the town. This industry however was not carried on so extensively here at this time as at "the Shore" or at Wessaweskeag, or even at Warren, above. The year 1795 was the begining of a new epoch in the history of the industrial life in Thomaston and the surrounding towns. This is the year that Gen. Knox took up his abode here and began the business life, which he continued with increasing vigor until his sudden death in 1806. His magnificent residence had been constructed two years previous by workmen sent from Boston, some of whom were retained here and became permanent citizens, while many more mechanics were drawn here by the liberal pay and exceptional inducements offered to them by this energetic man of affairs. Knox developed the lime industry until that and other industries contributing to its support overshadowed all else; he built ships for his own shipping, which he operated for the marketing of lime in Boston ; he built houses for the accommodation of those in his employ. To offer special inducements to settlers he also developed the brickmaking busi- ness; he opened a large store which was under the management of Capt. Thomas Vose ; he bought 42f HISTORICAL. and repaired or rebuilt the mills at Warren upper falls ; Brigadiers Island he converted into a nursery for improving breeds of cattle and sheep, which he wished to introduce, and also paid con- siderable attention to the orchard, garden, and farm, thus offering to men of almost every known occupation an opportunity to work at their trade and become permanent citizens. But for his un- timely death it is impossible to say to what extent these various industries would have been de- veloped. Upon Gen. Knox's death the industrial branches here received a staggering blow, but did not fall. Business was carried on generally b}^ those formerly in his emplo}^, and by others who soon located here. In 1810 Sullivan Dwight came to the place and established at Mill River village the first marble manufactory, which he developed to such an extent that Thomaston marble found a ready sale in all the principal ports of the Union. Others who continued this business here were John O'Brien, J. Ruggles, and Otis Edgerton. The Thomaston Cotton and Woolen Mfg. Co., a local corporation, erected a large factory here about 1815 and began the manufacture of cloth. It was at first successful but after a short period was unable to compete with foreign imported pro- ducts, and after several attempts to succeed was HISTORICAL, 4'2a: finally sold to Isaac Snaith and others from New Hampshire. RECENT INDUSTRIES With the advent of the Patent Kiln, the lime industr}^ became centered in the sections nearest the places of shipment, and of course passed into the hands of large concerns. Here in Thomaston those who have been engaged in this business in- recent years are the following: J. A. Creighton & Co., a concern in business under the same firm name since 1862. It was organized with J. A. Creighton, J. O. Cushing and Charles W. Waterman as members. Mr. Creigh- ton putting in one-half of the capital. The con- cern began with two lime kilns, and when the firm dissolved in 1869 the number had been in- creased to three. Waterman took two of the kilns and Creighton one. Cushing built new kilns. Creighton soon built a new kiln and the business soon enlarged, and in 1889 built three more kilns, and again in 1901 still three more were erected. With the eight kilns their capacity is not far from 140,000 casks of lime annually. The firm of J. O. Cushing & Co. was formed upon the retirement of Mr. Cushing from the Creighton concern in 1869. Mr. Waterman who had retired from the latter Company at the same 42h HISTORICAL. date was, we are told, in business with Mr. Gush- ing in the Hme business for a brief time, after the dissolution of the Creighton company. The firm of Cushman, Waterman & Co. had been in busi- ness in shipbuilding and , to a small extent in the accompanying industries since 1848. In 1869 J. O. Gushing & Go. began the de- velopment of a large lime industry, with which con- tinued to do a large and constantly increasing business down to the time of the absorption of many of the kilns in this region by the Rockland & Rockport Lime Go., to which the concern sold out its interests. The principal owners in the business were the Gushings and Mr. Atwood Levensaler, a prominent citizen in Thomaston for many years. The output of the firm at times equaled 150,000 casks of lime annually. Seventy men have been employed, and some ten vessels have been in their service at one time, as many as six being in the lime trade. This firm has not changed in name but in members. Mr. J. O. Gushing died in 1894 and Mr. Levensaler in 1904. This firm is now engaged in the coastwise trade, owning three vessels, and also in its store in Thomaston carries a full line of ship chandlery and groceries and provisions. Burgess, O'Brien & Co. are also a large and prosperous concern in Thomaston's business history. HISTORICAL 42i This concern has seen sixty years in the Hme and kindred industries of this town. The business was founded in 1844 by Messrs O'Brien, Burgess & Co., giving place in a short time to Messrs. O'Brien, Watts & Co., which in turn gave way to Burgess, O'Brien & Co., the present firm name, in 1854. Its place of busi- ness is at the foot of Wadsworth street, and here besides the six kiln lime plant, and its shipping, it carries on a large business in groceries, provisions, coal, dry goods, boots, shoes, hardware and all general supplies. Another firm which needs no description at our hands, and which has had a prominent part in building up Thomaston's business side is that of Samuel Watts & Co. Mr. Watts was identified with many interests and scarcely does one investigate a single industrial move in the town but we find his name connected with it in some way. SHIPBUILDING In this brief sketch of the industrial side of the town of Thomaston it is impossible for us to enter into a complete account of the sliipbuilding industry here. It has been an industr}^ of much value and continues as sucli today. The firm of Samuel Watts & Co. and the many other firms, which Mr. Watts formed and of which he was senior partner, have been very prominent in the shipping industry of Thomaston. The general 42j HISTORICAL. importance of their part in this work is too well known to require any special and detailed mention. The two principal shipbuilding firms of the present day are Washburn Bros, and Dunn & Elliot Co. These .concerns usually build one vessel each year, and some years even more. Washburn Bros, have been in the business since 1886, the firm being known as Washburn Bros. & Co. till 1892, when the present name was adopted. They are building their 25th vessel. She will be eleventh to be built from the same model. The vessels this con- cern put out are principally four masted schooners, of an average value of about $70,000. The first vessel built by them was the Mattie Eaton in 1886. They have been also extensively engaged in the sail manufacturing business. This industry, together with their Port Clyde Marine Railway, has made them a very prosperous firm. Dunn & Elliot Co. have also been very prominent in the shipbuilding and sail making business for many years. A previous writer says that this firm may be said to have started in the shipbuilding business away back in 1864, when Edwin Welch & Co. began doing business. Two years later this firm was succeeded by Messrs. T. Dunn & Co. The next year, 1867, this firm gave way to Messrs. Walker, Dunn & Co., who were succeeded in 1880 by Messrs. Dunn & Elliot. Throughout its history this firm has been very HISTORICAL. 42k enterprising, having built between fifty and sixty vessels, and having turned out a very large pro- duct of sails from year to year. Among other shipbuilding firms in Thomas ton have been Messrs. Robert Walsh, Walsh & Gil- christ, Chapman & Flint, J. C. Creighton, E. O. O'Brien, R. & W. Jacobs, Creighton & Co., and many others. BANKS The town of Thomaston has had for several years banking facilities, which we think we can truly say, are second to those of no town in the state, of its size, if not far superior. Three banks have been very prosperous here for many years, and stand as a good testimonial to the good sense, industry, and earning capacity of the people of the town and vicinity. The first bank incorporated in town was the THOMASTON BANK, organized in 1825 with a capital of $50,000. It had for officers J. Gleason as president and L. J. Sprague as cashier. The bank was robbed in 1831 and much con- fusion was caused by the various complications resulting, but the guilty party was finally prosecut- ed. But the jury was unable to agree. However the matter was compromised and the sum of |2,- 000 was paid back. The total loss was about $12,000. 421 HISTORICAL. The Georges Bank was incorporated here in 1852 with a capital of $50,000. Its first president was Edward O'Brien, and its first cashier was S. Emerson Smith, formerly of Warren The Thomaston Savings Bank began business in 1860. This institution has had a long and honorable career, as well as a very prosperous one. For many years the president has been M. R. Matthews and to this excellent financier the bank owes much of its success. The present treasurer is John A. Andrews. The Thomaston National Bank was organized in a very short time after the Savings bank came into existence, and has since been a very success- ful institution. It is capitalized at $100,000. The president is C. H. Washburn, and the cashier is F. H. Jordan, who has held this position for many years. The Georges National Bank began operations here in 1885. It has a capital stock of $110,000. Its first officers were Edw. E. O'Brien, president, and J. C. Levensaler, cashier. The latter official is still at his post while the present president is W. E. Vinal. NEWSPAPERS A newspaper is as surely a part of the indust- rial side of a town's interests as it is a part of her HISTORICAL. 42m professional life. No town but owes much to a newspaper which has the interest of the town at heart and is thoroughly awake to the needs of the community it is a part of. In looking up the history of the newspapers here we find the first to be established here was in 1825 when the Thomaston Register made its appear- ance on the 17th of May. This was a weekly pa- per, and at first was non-partisan being under the editorial charge of Mr. Ruggles. Finally it be- came under the charge of Mr. Cilley, a warm supporter of Jackson in 1828. Soon after this the paper went into the hands of Abner Knowles, and was continued under the title of the Independent Journal. Soon the National Republic was started. It was first issued in 1832, and was a supporter of the Whigs. This paper was after a few years merged into the Thomaston Republican, which was first published in January, 1839. This paper finally ceased here and was moved to Wiscasset in 1841. In 1837 the Recorder was started here, devoted to no party or sect, and continued under the charge of H. P. Coombs till 1846. The paper was revived for a short time as the Star and Recorder but was discontinued in 1848. In 1854 the Thomaston Herald was started here by C. H. Paine, and continued four years, 42ll HISTORICAL. when it was changed to the Lincoln Advertiser. Warren C. Plummer, in 1856 began the pub- hshing of a paper here under the title of the Lin- coln Republican, but being largely political was soon discontinued; its purpose having been more for the campaign than anything else. Our informant tells us that no newspapers of long standing appeared till about 1875, when the Thomaston Reporter was started under the con- trol, as editor and proprietor, of Thomas D. Hall. The paper was published first once in two weeks and later once a month. Mr. Hall was succeeded in 1877 by George E. Richardson with the Thomas- ton Herald. Mr. Richardson sold out in 1881. The paper then went to the hands of Fuller & Jones, and later to Linnell & Hodgdon, and final- ly to The Knox Publishing Co., the present owners. CENSUS. 43 Census of Thomastoii, 1904. The [)()[)alatioii of the town of Thomaston has been arranged herewith in families where that arrangement has been possible. Tn these families, in addition to the resident living members, the names of the non-resident members are included. It should Ije 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 in some cases, used the more common abbreviations and contractions. Some of these follow: Farmer — far; carpenter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools — ]>!; housework — ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon — phy & huv; clergyman — clerg; merchant — mer; teacher — tr; blacksmith — blk: clerk — cl; book- keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic — mech; engineer — eng; insurance — ins; makei- — mkr. worker — w'kr; work — wk; shoe shop work — s s work. This Census was taken during the summer of 1904 expressly for this work by E. M. Campbell, Kents Hill, and T. A. Gaston- guay, Brunswick, Me. 44 CENSUS. Thomaston Post Office (Including R. F. D.
