A grant of the township of Fryeburg was made to Gen. Joseph Frye by the General Court of Massachusetts for his valiant services in the expedition against Louisburg, and as commander of a regiment at Fort William Henry on Lake George, in 1757. This grant made Mar. 3, 1762, gave Gen. Frye the privilege of selecting a township six miles square, lying on either side of the Saco river between the Great Ossi- pee and the White Mountains. The territory selected is comprised mainly within the present town. The northwest corner proved to be within the State of New Hampshire, and when this discovery was made the General Court made good the loss by granting an equal number of acres (4,147) on the north, called "Fryeburg Addition," now the southern half of the town of Stow. A tract was annexed from Brown- field Plantation in 1802, as shown in the following chapter. Title to the lands was scarcely secured when prepara- tions were made for immediate settlement. This same year pioneers came in with their cattle from Concord, N. H., and commenced a clearing and erected log cabins where the vil- lage now stands. On the natural meadows here they found an abundance of hay for their cattle. Upon the approach of winter the married men returned, leaving the stock in the 18 FRYEBURG care of Nathaniel Merrill, John Stevens and one "Limbo," a Negro. Other herdsmen from Falmouth and Gorham also passed the winter near by with about 200 head of cattle. In the summer of 1763, Nathaniel Smith moved in with his family, thus becoming the first permanent settler of the earliest town in the White Mountain region. Among the other arrivals this year were tbe owners of the "Seven Lots," so called. These were Capt. Timothy Walker, Samuel Osgood, David Page, Moses Ames, Nathaniel Merrill and John and David Evans. These men came from Concord, and weresaid to have owned the site of the village of Fryeburg in equal shares, from which fact this was early known as the "Seven Lots." Mr. Smith was granted a lease of one-half lot, jointly with his wife, Ruth, free of rent for their natural lives for the friendship Gen. Frye bore them. His lot proved to be over the state line and is now within Conway. Captain Walker built the first mills in town at the outlet of Walker's Pond; he was also an extensive farmer as shown by Rev. Paul Coffin's journal. Under date of 1768, he WTote: "Capt. Walker had forty acres of corn, grass and english grain, which all are rich." Other prominent settlers of this name were Joseph Walker; Lieut. John Walker, who was a man of abnormal size and strength. He was an old forest ranger, and served at Fort William Henry and at the fall of Quebec. Ezekiel Walker was the first licensed tavern keeper in Frye- burg; he lived near Ber pond. Lieut. Isaac W^alker and Samuel Walker came with others in 1767. Lieut. Jas. Walker lived at the "Island." Most of these men raised up large families and their descendants are numerous and HISTORICAL 19 respected. Maj. Samuel Osgood is said to have led the pio- neer party of 1763. He settled on the site of the old Oxford House which was erected in 1800, by his son Lieut. J as. Osgood. He was the ancestor of many notable men and women including Rev. Samuel Osgood, D. D., Col. Joshua B. Osgood, Jas. R. Osgood, the Boston publisher, and hissister Kate Putnam Osgood. "Squire" Moses Ames was an early selectman and representative and one of the first board of trustees of Fryeburg Academy. Col. David Page became a magistrate and a leading man. "Squire" Nath'l Merrill was not married until ] 765; he was a competent surveyor; lived on lot opposite the Academy. John and David Evans were brothers. Capt. Wm., son of John, was the first white male child born in town, April 19, 1765. General Frye the proprietor, also settled in town near the centre. Here he erected a frame house 40 x 60 feet in 1768 or '69. At the out break of the Revolution he was called to Cambridge to assemble and organize the patriot recruits. He was made a brigadier by the provincial con- gress, then promoted to major general and stationed at Falmouth. The following year he left the service; it was rumored that some difference with Gen. Washington caused him to resign his commission. His son, Joseph, was a cap- tain and Nathaniel was a lieutenant in the service, the latter losing his hearing at the battle of Monmouth. Col. John M. Frye, grandson of General Frye, was an early manufacturer at Lewiston, one of its leading men, and the father of the Hon. Wra. P. Frye, the distinguished U. S. Senator. Dea. Simon Frye, a nephew of General Joseph, was the first 20 FRYEBURG representative to the General Court, and for many years jud^e of the District Court, and an honored deacon of the church. Chaplain Jona. Frye of the Pequawket expedition was a second cousin to the General; he was a graduate of Harvard, 1723, died at 21, after the battle. Jedediah Spring came here in 1763. His daughter, Betty, was the first white child born in town Sept. 24, 1764. He later removed into Conway. Lieut. Caleb Swan a gradu- ate of Harvard College, who distinguished himself in the class, came in 1766 from Andover, Mass. He pitched his house at the "rapids" now Swan's Falls. His wife was Dor- othy Frye, a sister to General Frye. Henry Young Brown, the proprietor of Brownfield town- ship, had a house which Rev. Paul Coffin deemed elegant enough to call a "Hall," where he was entertained in 1768. This stood very near the "Seven Lots" settlement west of the river and was made a part of this township in 1802. This house is now standing on Main street to which place it was removed, Capt. Brown was one of the most prominent men of this part of the state. He held large estates which were heired by his four grandchildren, Henry Y. B. Osgood, Joshua B. Osgood, Mary Sherburne, m Rev. Samuel Osgood, D. D., and Eliza L., m Jas. Osgood, Esq., from whom came many of the land titles. Deacon Richard Eastman maintained an early ferry across the Saco near his house. He was an early moderator at town meetings. Ezra Carter settled across the river from Mr. Swan. Lieut. Stephen Farrington was one of the earl- iest settlers at West Fryeburg. Here also was Capt. HISTORICAL 21 Nathaniel Hutchins, an officer in the French and Indian Wars. Hezekiah Asten settled here on the bank of the old river. Wm. Russell located just north of Frye's Hill. Isaac Abbott of Andover, Mass., raised the second framed barn in town at the Centre. In this house or barn were held many early religious town meetings. This old house is still standing. Wm. Eaton and Abraham Bradley were located toward North Fryeburg, and farther up were Benj. Wiley, John Stevens, Dea. John Charles and others. In 1775, Rev. Wm. Fessenden was settled the town pastor and resided near the early church at the Centre. Others of the pioneers were Nathaniel Merrill, Ebenezer Burbank, Job Eastman, Stephen Knight, Richard Kimball, Eben and Moses Day, Jona. Dresser, Jos. Kilgore, Henry Gordon, John Bolt Miller, Jas. Parker, Hugh Gordon, Abner Charles, Stephen Dresser and Aaron Abbott, all of whom were here as early as 1778, together with others whose names we cannot give here. Many of the pioneers of Fryeburg were veterans of either the Revolution or the earlier French and Indian Wars where many of them had gained titles for their gallantry. Neither were they ignorant men, for of this number Paul Langdon, the first principal of the Academy; Wm. Russell, Caleb Swan, Henry Y. B. Osgood, Rev. Wm. Fessenden and Dr. Jos. Emery, the first physician, who came in 1768, were all grad- uates of Harvard, and Capt. Joseph Frye attended there two years. In 1776, during the troublous times of the Revolution, application was made for incorporation as a town and the following year this act was granted. 22 FRYEBURG ACT OF INCORPORATION.

These were the principal men then in town, and were the lounders of most of the later families. A vote was then taken to have swine go at large and the meeting was adjourned. The next important town meeting was called to assem- ble at the same place on April 17, for the purpose of settling Rev. Mr. Fessenden as minister of the town. A vote was taken to that effect, and under the next article forty-five pounds "lawful money" was raised "for his first years ser- vice in the ministry beginning at the eleventh of Oct. 1775, as agreed on by the Proprietors of this Township at their meeting of Oct. 5th, 1774." Fifty pounds was voted for his second year, Oct. 11th 1776 to Oct. 11, 1777, and an increase of five pounds per year until seventy pounds be reached; his salary to continue at seventy pounds so long as he should continue in the pastoral relations to the church. One third part of this salary was to be paid in Indian corn (@ 3 shillings per bushel) and rice (@ 45). Benj. Russell, Wm. Wiley and Lt. Isaac Walker were chosen a committee to examine accounts presented to the new town for payment, and a bounty of one pound was voted for catching or killing a wolf in town. By the act incorporating Brownfield in 1802, a portion of Brownfield plantation was set off to the town of Frye- 26 FRYEBURG burg, with the following bounds, viz: — Beginning at the south corner of Fryeburg at a stake and stones thence run- ning north forty-six degrees and a half west, eleven hundred seventy-five rods on Fryeburg line to a pine stump on the line of New Hampshire; thence south six and a half degrees west, nine hundred and ten rods to a beach tree marked H Y B; thence north seventy-six degrees and a half east, nine hundred and eighty five rods to the bounds first mentioned, about 2600 acres. The western bouudry of Fryeburg finally passed through the present village of Fryeburg just west of the Gov. Dana place and crossed the Saco near Westiu's Bridge. In the year 1847, portions of Fryeburg and Denmark west of Upper Moose pond were set ofi"to the town of Bridg- ton. TOWN OFFICERS. CLERKS. Richard Kimball, 1777-78; Capt.

Undoubtedly the greater number of the first arrivals in Fryeburg had seen service in the French and Indian wars, some of whom enlisted in the Patriot service at the breaking out of the Revolution. Of this number was General Frye, the grantee, under whom many of his townsmen had fought at Fort William Henry and other early engagements. At the breaking out of the Revolution he was called to Cam- bridge to command a patriot force, but soon after returned to his home town. Many volunteers proceeded to Portland and other points where they entered the Patriot lines, some of whom never returned, while others for their heroic con- duct and courage rose to the rank of commanders and returned with titles by which they were afterwards known. In 1780 over £17,000, probably paper, and £108 of "hard money" was voted for this cause, together with 10,515 pounds of beef, and seven men to fill the ranks of the depleted Continental Army. During that summer six men were sent to the aid of Falmouth, two men for six months and two men for three months were hired for service in the Continental Army. This town has ever responded readily and liberally of her best men. For a period of several decades prior to the Civil war, the able bodied men of the town were regularly trained on the "Muster Grounds," while the annual parade was only equaled by the modern county fair. The Civil War enlistments for Fryeburg will appear at the end of the historical section of this volume. 30 FRYEBURG Grover Post, No. 126, was organized by sixteen veter- ans of Fryeburg and Lovell on Dec. 24, 1884. Wm.C.Towle was chosen first commander, Tobias L. Eastman and others completing the staff, the itemized list of which was burned in the recent fire. The membership increased until at one time there were sixty-nine members. For about two years the meetings were alternated between this village and Lovell, which arrangement was followed by the formation of Parker Post at the latter village. Grover Post now numbers 35 members. Grover Circle, No. 11, w^as formed by the ladies as a relief corps. The present officers of the post are E. J. Brackett, P. C; Orrin R. Barrows, S. V. C; J. H. Johnson, J. V. C: Henry Andrews, Q. M., and T. L. Eastman, Adjt. INDUSTRIES. Unlike most of the wilderness of Maine, open grass lands were found in Fryeburg, offering excellent grazing pastures, but these intervales were not safe places for erecting homes. Lots were selected on the surrounding highlands and the first rude cabins of the pioneers were soon to be seen here and there dotting the landscape or more closely together at the "Seven Lots" or the Center. The first grist mill in town was built by John Evans on Wall brook near Lovewell's pond, which privilege he was given together with two lots of land to erect and maintain a mill. This was probably put in as early as 1766, and HISTORICAL 31 remained in possession of the family for three generations. In the great freshet of 1785, it was washed away but rebuilt. Thos. Evans, grandson of John, sold to Isaiah Warren, after which it passed to Moses Richardson, Tarbox and Walker, and lastly it was owned by W. H. Tarbox at the time of its destruction last August by the great fire. The dam was washed out some five years ago since which no work had been done here. The first mill on Ballard Brook, then Ingalls Brook was built by Ezra Carter, Col. John Webster and Edmund Shirley in 1794. This consisted of a grist mill below and a saw mill above. In 1802, Uriah Ballard bought the mills which he operated until about 1844, when he sold to Col. David Web- ster. Col. Webster tore out the old mills and built two sep- arate buildings. In 1858, the property passed from his heirs to Osborn Charles, and about ten years later to Sam- uel B. Locke of Paris. Mr. Locke rebuilt and enlarged the mills, putting in the first circular saw. His sons were also interested in this property, Franklin Locke being the last owner of this name. The mills were burned and the privilege sold by the latter Jan. 5, 1893 to Edw. F. Mclntire, the present owner. Mr. Mclntire rebuilt the saw mill in the spring of 1894, this was burned June 7, 1903, and immedi- ately rebuilt. This is a long and short lumber mill and the only water mill now in town. At Swan's Falls, Abraham Andrews put in a saw mill early in the last century, but this was washed away by freshet before gotten into operation . This excellent privilege is now owned by a syndicate of Fryeburg's business men 32 . FRYEBDRG who contemplate erecting^ a plant for furnishing electricity for power and lighting. A mill was erected and operated at the Harbor on the outlet to Kezar Pond, by Wm. Russell, Esq., for sawing and grinding. This mill was operated for many years by Sam- uel Thompson, whose heirs sold the privilege to the Saco Water Power Co. A new power snow roller has been recently invented and patented in the U. S. and Canada by Edw. F. Mclntire, the mill proprietor. This Traction Engine is an extremely prac- tical invention, founded on the ordinary roller used in these parts, but so fitted up and connected with a high power gas- oline or petroleum engine as to be operated on the principal of an automobile. The roller covers an 11 foot road bed and weighs four tons. By a special arrangement of cams slip- ping is prevented, while the projections are kept free from clogging. CANNING FACTORIES. The large canning factory at Fryeburg village was built by Asa 0. Pike, who rented it to the Portland Packing Co. about thirty years ago. After Mr. Pike's death his heirs sold the factory to Tobias L. Eastman who carried on the business until the fall of 1905, when he sold to the present owners, H. C. Baxter & Bro. of Brunswick. This factory has a capacity of 1,000,000 cans of corn, requiring the product from 150 acres. The factory at North Fryeburg was built in 1890, by H. C. Baxter & Bro., the present operators. Capacity 1,000,- 000. M. F. Fogg was the first foreman of this shop, being HISTORICAL 33 succeeded bj E. W. Jones five years ago. This is operated as the Snow Flake Canning Co., another factory at East Fryeburg, but located in the town of Denmark is operated by this company with G. T. Cook, foreman. This was built by Harnden & Warren about 1893, and sold to Baxter & Brother ten years later. The factory at Lovell is also under the same management. The greenhouses of W. H. Tarbox & Son were built the first in 1900, and two more the following season for raising cucumbers for shipment. The E. W. Burbank Seed Co., Seth W. Fife, proprietor, was established by Mr. Burbank in 1880 in a small way. Mr. Fife became connected with the business in 1886. The output has steadily increased until at the present time some 2000 boxes are annually distributed among retail merchants throughout New England. FRYEBURG CHURCHES. Kev. Paul Coflfin, D. D., of Buxton, visited this region in 1768, on a missionary journey "to Pigwacket" and was elaborately entertained at the mansion of Capt. Henry Young Brown and at the home of John Webster. At these and other places he delivered sermons, being the earliest ordained preacher, except Rev. Timothy Walker of Conway, to preach the gospel in town. 34 FRYEBURG The Congregational Church was organized Aug. 28, 1775, and Rev. Wm. Fessenden, a graduate of Harvard, was ordained pastor and town minister on October 11th follow- ing. His salary was paid in Indian corn at three shillings per bushel and rje at four shillings, for the first six years of his ministry. He was well adapted to his charge and proved popular and useful until his death May 5, 1805. He was suc- ceeded by Rev. Francis L. Whiting whose ministry termi- nated in 1814. For several years Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Porter, pastor in Conway, supplied this church. Sept. 17, 1823, Rev. Carlton Hurd was ordained pastor, whose successful term of service was terminated by his death Dec. 6, 1855. One year later John Q. Peabody was ordained pastor, and in 1859 was succeeded by Rev. David B. Sewall who remained with the church until 1873, when he removed to the York First Church. Rev. Baman N. Stone was installed pastor June 18, 1874, dismissed May 2, 1877, soon after which he organized the New church. Rev. Javan K. Mason, D. D., became acting pastor in Aug. 1877, resigned in October 1886, and went to Herndon, Va. Rev. Wm. F. Livingston, 1888-89; Rev. Albion H. Ross, 1890-91; Rev. Chas. S.Young, 1891-96; Rev. Ernest Hamlin Abbott, ordained 1896, dis. Jan. 23, 1902; Rev. Edgar T. Pitts, May 5, 1903— Mar. 31, 1905, and Rev. Edwin P. Wilson who has served this church since 1905 completes the list of pastors. In 1778, the town voted to erect a meeting house at the Centre, voted £100 for the purpose and chose a committee of seven men to attend to the matter. It was sometime before the exact location could be decided upon, but the HISTORICAL 35 house was put up that year "where Isaac Abbott's barn formerly stood" near the center oi the settlement. The house was without pews or gallery, but served its intended purpose for several years. The second house of this denom- ination was erected at the lower end of the village in 1796. After the completion of the present house in 1850, this was occupied by the Academy until the erection of the present Academy building in 1853. Present membership 85, Mrs. T. L. Eastman is clerk. The second church organized in town was of the Baptist faith. This was gathered in 1790, and Rev. Zebedee Rich- ardson installed pastor. Services were held at the Corner (village) Centre and in the northern part of the town for many years. After the death of Elder Richardson no suc- cessor was settled over the church, which in process of time became extinct. The Universalist Church was organized in 1810, and the chapel at North Fryeburg erected in 1838. Regular preaching has been maintained a part of the time, the last preaching by Rev. H. H. Hoyt of Hiram, recently appointed State Missionary. During the years from 1825 to 1835 there was consider- able diversity of religious feeling in town and many new doc- trines were introduced. Unitarian services were held in the village and Free Will Baptist preaching maintained at East Fryeburg. In 1828 or '29 a Methodist class was formed, Hon. Judah Dana and family becoming prominent members. Through his invitation Methodist preachers held regular 36 FRYEBURG services in the old Academy building which were largely attended. Rev. David Copeland was appointed to the new Circuit in 1829, including also Conway and Bartlett. The Methodist church at the village, now the New Church Hall, was erected in 1845, and the following year this charge was again connected with Bartlett. Regular services were held here for many years until the church became greatly reduced in numbers. The Chapel at The Harbor was erected by the Metho- dists and citizens of this village, and here regular services of this denomination are maintained in connection with the church in Stow. Here a new parsonage has been erected, first occupied by the present pastor, Rev. E. F. Doughty, appointed in 1899. Appointments to this charge (Harbor and Stow) since 1884, have been Revs. M. B. Greeuhalgh, 1884-85; J. H. Roberts, 1886-87; J. M. Woodbury, 1888; F. C. Potter, 1889; W. H. Gowell, 1890-91; G. G. Powers, 1892- 93; A. S. Staples, 1894; G. W. Barber, 1895-96; Wra. Bragg, 1897-98; and Rev. E. F. Doughty. Rev. Mr. Doughty also serves the church in Sweden. The New Church In Fryeburg. The first public wor- ship of the New Church in Fryeburg was held in the Court Hall of the old Oxford House June 3, 1877, and its perma- nent organization was effected on Feb. 27, 1878, Its house of worship was erected at a cost of about |4500, and was dedicated August 31, 1879. At a later date the old Metho- dist church was bought and repaired by this society, and is now used as a place for social entertainments. The present membership of the church numbers about HISTORICAL 37 sixty. There are 103 names on its roll, includine those who have died or removed to other places. The Rev, Baman N. Stone has been the pastor of this church from its formation. FRYEBURG ACADEMY, The question of a free grammar school in Fryeburg was first agitated by Rev. Wm. Fessenden, D. D., the first gospel minister settled in town. Through his efforts such a school was established in 1791, and was held in a little building at the foot of Pine Hill where fifty pupils were gathered. The year following Rev. Mr. Fessenden, Rev. Nathaniel Porter, David Page and Jas. Osgood of Conway; Moses Ames, Jas. Osgood and Simon Frye of Fryeburg, and the preceptor of the school, Paul Langdon, were made the trustees of Fryeburg Academy by an act passed that year incorporat- ing the institution. The General Court also made a grant of 12,000 acres of land for its support. The first meeting of the board of trustees was held March 3d., when Rev. David Little of Kennebunk, Rev. Paul Coffin of Buxton and others were chosen on the board and the former was elected president. Paul Langdon was retained as preceptor at a salary of £52 annually, the school remaining under his charge during seven years of prosperity. Daniel Weston and John P. Thurston each taught one term in 1799, after which Mr. Langdon returned for a short time. In November Rev. Mr. Fessenden, the tutelary saint of the 38 FRYEBURG institution, filled the chair for a few weeks until January 1802, when the services of a young college man were secured. This was the famous Daniel Webster whose services at the Academy from January to September were of the most inspiring character. He boarded at the newly erected Oxford House and spent much of his spare time profitably as register's clerk. Upon his resignation he received a special vote of thanks from the board of trustees for honor- able and faithful work. The next instructor was Amos Jones Cook, The school soon outgrew its humble home and in 1806 a large new building was erected on the site of the present Academy, a mile from the old building, on land donated by Robert Bradley. This was a fine two story edi- fice surmounted by a bell tower in which was hung the first bell in town. Mr. Cook remained with the school until 1833, during which time he gathered a museum of curios which was the largest in the state. Following his long and suc- cessful term of service, two schools were maintained for about one year. These were soon united and the school con- tinued successfully under various preceptors. On May 26, 1850, the school building was burned, but the school ses- sions were continued in the Congregational vestry until the present building was erected, dedicated Aug. 31, 1853. To principal G. H. Ricker belongs the credit of establishing the present course of study and the annual graduation exercises. On Aug. 17, 1892, was held the centennial celebration of the founding of this institution which has so ably assisted in the education of many men of prominence and power. Another celebration was observed Jan. 1, 1902, upon the HISTORICAL 39 centennial anniversary of the coming of Daniel Webster as preceptor. There are now two dormitories connected with the Academy, the head master's house also used as a domi- tory and two recitation buildings aside from the main Acad- emy building. The average attendance is about one hun- dred students. In 1888, Albert F. Richardson, now principal of Castine Normal School, was succeeded as head master by J. E. Dins- more. In 1892, John C. Hull became preceptor, remaining until 1895, when E. R. Woodbury, now principal of Thorn- ton Academy, came to take charge of this school. Five years later he was succeeded by Charles G. Willard, A. B,, the present head master. During the two school years from 1903 to 1905, E. L. Adams was in charge. The faculty now numbers eight. Mr. Willard is instruc- tor in History, Psychology and Greek; Walton T.Henderson, A. B., sub-master, Sciences and Athletics; Sarah L. Willard, Preceptress, Latin, Botany and Pedagogy; Susan M. Walker, English and Literature; Elsie P. Thayer, Stenogra- phy and Commercial work; Alice A. Stearns, A. B., Mathe- matics, French and German; Benj. T. Newman, Manual Training, Drawing and Painting; Albert M. Abott, Piano, Organ and Harmony. FRYEBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The first appropriation made by the voters of Fryeburg for the maintenance of public schools was in September 1777, at a meeting held for providing lor assessing taxes on all the property in town. £60 was voted for schools. The 40 FRYEBURG iollowing year but one school was kept in town, and as yet no house erected for its use. A committee was that year appointed "to see how and where a school house shall be built" and the sum of £250 raised for education. From these meagre beginnings there gradually developed a flour- ishing and elevating though not always harmonious school system. In 1825, fourteen school districts were being attended by 490 pupils, showing an average attendance of thirty-five. Some schools however were attended by twice that number and required the strict surveillanceof a stern master and the often application of the rod. About 1830, two stone school houses were erected in the village. That in Number One is now occupied by the village library; that in Number Two was burned, and rebuilt in 1850, the new building serving now as a recitation room of the Academy. A fine new village school house was erected in 1902. During recent years the number of scholars attending the town schools has gradually decreased and the little red school house has passed, superceded by the more elegant white house at the cross roads in which may be often found rows of patent desks instead of the long side seats occupied by the fathers and grandparents of the present learners. Who shall say the privileges of education have not been ample? Upon the ioundations laid here have been reared some of the broadest minds that have helped mould the affairs of our most successful and prosperous republic. HISTORICAL 41 PROFESSIONAL MEN. PHYSICIANS. The earliest skilled physician to locate in Fryebur^ was Dr. Joseph Emery who came here from Andover, N. H., in 1778. He was also the earliest merchant. He was followed by Josiah Chase of Canterbury, two years later. Joseph Benton, Stephen Porter, Oliver Griswell, Eliphalet Lyman, a graduate of Yale, removed to Lancaster, N. H., about 1820; Dr. Ruel Barrows of Hebron, as early as 1820; Dr. Ira Towle, from Newfield, and his son, Wm. C. Towle were the next physicians. Dr. D. Lowell Lamson, a native of Conway, N. H., began his practice in Fryeburg where he died after a long and successlul practice. Dr. Geo. H. Shedd of Norway, now at North Conway, practiced here. Herman L. Bartlett ofStoneham, now ot Norway, succeeded Dr. Shedd. Dr. A. G. Phipps, now at Gorham, N. H.; Dr. Geo. Allen ot Stone- ham, now at Lovell, and Dr. Arthur L. Ferguson were the succeeding practitioners. Dr. Arthur J. Lougee of Roches- ter, N. H., a graduate of Dartmouth College and New York University; and Dr. L, W. Atkinson, who removed to the village from North Fryeburg about two years ago, are the present practicing physicians at the village. Dr. Moses Chandler of Concord, N. H., located at the Centre in 1798, and remained here in practice until his death in 1822. He was the only physician to locate at this ham- let. At North Fryeburg Dr. Noah Parker was an early phy- sician, coming to this village probably as early as 1825, and 42 FRYEBURG remaining until his death. One Dr. Hill practiced here ten or more j'ears, after which he removed to the village. Dr. J. L. Bennett, now of Bridgton, succeeded Dr. Parker, and was followed by Dr. Mitchell. Dr. Irving Mabry has been here several years. Dr. L. W. Atkinson practiced here prior to locating at Fryeburg village. Dr. Craft is a new physician. LAWYERS. Judah Dana, a grandson ol Gen. Israel Putnam, was Fryeburg's and Oxford County's first lawyer. Mr. Dana came to Fryeburg in 1798 from Pomfret, Vt., and practiced law here until his death in 1845. For many years he was a Court Judge. In 1810 he erected the fine residence now occupied as a summer residence by Dr. Gordon of Portland. Gov. John W. Dana was the son of Judge Dana, and a native of Fryeburg. Stephen Chase was an early lawyer of prominence. Col. Samuel A. Bradley of Concord, N. H., was in practice several years before his death in 1841. John Stuart Barrows of Hebron was a contemporary member of the bar who died not long after Col. Bradley. Alex. R. Bradley, a nephew of Samuel A., a graduate of Harvard, was the next in practice here. He died in town in 1862. Col. Edw. L. Osgood, born in the old Oxford House, prac- ticed law here, died in 1863. Governor Enoch Lincoln prac- ticed law in town early in the century, removed to Paris. Henry Hyde Smith was a lawyer here, removed to Hyde Park, Mass. Major David R. Hastings, a native of Bethel, served as a Major in the Civil War; he later located here and was an HISTORICAL 43 able practitioner until about ten years ago, dying about 1895. His son, Edward E., a graduate of Bowdoin, studied law with his father and began practice here about twenty- five years ago. Seth W. Fife, L. L. B., a graduate of Har- vard Law School, 1869, located here in 1870. He is a native of Chatham, N. H., from one of its oldest and leading- families. John B. Eaton, a native of Conway, practiced in Cincinnati before removing to Fryeburg about thirty years ago. Here he was in practice until his death. Chas. C. Warren, now of Arlington, is a native of Fryeburg, and was in practice here before his recent removal. He has an office in Boston. Fryeburg is noted for its strong men of the legal profession, most of whom have remained in town for a long period of years covering a successful career. FRYEBURG WATER WORKS. In 1882, the Fryeburg Water Co. was organized by local citizens under the direction of Dr. D. Lamson Lowell, for the purpose of installing a system for supplying pure water from Green Hill mountain in Conway. There a series of boiling springs was dammed back, forming a reservoir covering about an acre less than three miles from the village. A system of 10, 8, and 6 inch pipe conducts the water to the village, 156 feet below, the pipe passing under the Saco 300 feet below Weston's bridge. A natural force of 65 pounds is produced giving ample fire protection and a clear, pure water supply for family use. H. B. Cotton is president of the company; A. R. Jenness, Sec, Treas., and Supt. 44 FRYEBURG FRYEBURG VILLAGE FIRE CORPORATION AND FIRES. This corporation was chartered March 1, 1887, for the purpose of organizing for protection from fire. On the last day of the month an organizing meeting was held at which John C. Gerry was chosen clerk; Thos. C. Shirley, treasurer; Asa 0. Pike, Wm. Gordon and John Weston, assessors; and A. R. Jenness, F. L. Mark and Seth W. Fife, fire wardens. This action followed the burning of the original and cele- brated Oxford House which occurred Feb. 14, preceding. The earliest Destructive Fire of note was in 1843, Sept. 15, when "Eastman's Coffee House," with two stores and two stables were burned. Twenty years later, Nov. 17, 1863, the store of Major T. C. Ward and Dea. John Evans' shop on Portland street were burned. In the shop were the last relics of the original Academy which had been removed to the site of the stone school house where it was occupied for school purposes until replaced by the stone structure. It was then converted into the shop and dwelling. The last and most destructive fire in the annals of the town occurred Aug. 31, 1906, when a fire started in the new Oxford House then occupied by one hundred guests. Although the fire started about 10 o'clock A. M., it wassoon beyond control and before it could be subdued $150,000 worth of village property and many of the stately elms which had graced Portland street for a century and which time alone can replace, were ruined. Among the destroyed HISTORICAL 45 property was H. G. Freeman's printing plant with all machinery; S. W. Fife's house and a store occupied as a mil- linery by Mrs. Fife; Mrs. Barker's millinery store, house, stable and barn; the old Fryeburg House not occupied, besides seven residences. It also run over an extensive area of the plains and burned the old grist mill south of the vil- lage. The original Oxford House was erected in 1801 by Satnuel Osgood and was probably the most celebrated house in this part of New England. The new Oxford was erected in 1893, on a larger plan than the original, and was opened to the public July 15, that year. A Hook And Ladder with 1,000 feet of hose and a hose carriage were bought in April 1887. The hose house was soon after erected. 400 feet of hose was purchased later, but about one-half of the hose was burned in the late fire. The village is now well protected. Electric Lights were introduced into the stores and dwel- lings in 1901, and the following year a system of street- lighting installed. In 1904, the chair factory which sup- plied the power was burned, and for about one year no lights were provided. Mr. Mclntire then furnished power from his saw mill for a short period. For a year past no power has been supplied and the streets have not been lighted. The Fryeburg Electric Light Co. consists of local business men. 46 FRYEBURG FRYEBURG HORSE RAILROAD, This company was chartered in March 1887, for the pur- pose of establishing and maintaining a horse railroad in the village and to run to the Chautauqua grounds. It was at once organized and |5075 capital stock issued, which was taken by thirty stockholders. The road was installed and equipped that season, opened July 25, but did not run regu- larly until the following year. This road has remained under the general management of Seth W. Fife, and has been in operation each year since it begun. A total of 12,000 per- sons are sometimes carried annually during the running season, from June to October. Three miles of road are laid. This is the only horse railroad in the state. Four years ago this road was sold to the White Moun- tain Paper Co. who sold to the Pater Publishing Co. three years later. A charter granted by the last legislature pro- vides for the extension of this road to Stow and Lovell, and it is probable that one or both of these places will soon be reached by a new line of road to be operated by horses or electricity. The plan for a road to Lovell was contemplated by the original promoters, but was not executed before dis- posing of the property. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. Fryeburg Grange, No. 197, was organized at Fryeburg Centre in Feb. 1888, with 18 charter members. B. Walker McKeen was chosen the first master, and has been followed HISTORICAL 47 in this capacity by John F. Charles, A. P. Gordon, John S. Ames, David Chandler, E. C. Buzzell, I. A. Walker, Simeon Charles and A. W. McKeen. This order now numbers fifty- eight members. The leading officers chosen for 1907 are A. W. McKeen, master; Leon D. Charles, overseer; Mehitable McAllister, lecturer; Rosina McKeen, chaplin, Simeon Charles, treasurer, and I. A. McKeen, secretary. The West Oxford Agricultural Association And Fair was organized and established in 1851. For over half a century this has been an important factor in the life and social and commercial developement of a wide field. TO CROSS THE SACO. Dea. Richard Eastman operated a ferry for many years near the point where the toll bridge was erected in 1870; this bridge is 76 feet long, being the shortest of the seven bridges which span the Saco and Canal. The first bridge built was at Swan's Falls about 1780. The oldest now in use is Weston's bridge, 250 feet long, built in 1844, accord- ing to Wm. Gordon. Canal bridge 272 feet long, was built in 1846; Walker's bridge 164 feet, in 1848; Charles river bridge (a tributary) 87 feet, in 1856; Island bridge, 110 feet, in 1862; Hemlock bridge 116, in 1867; the Toll bridge (now free), in 1870; and the new iron bridge at the Harbor 80 feet, built in 1894. All except the latter are covered. 48 FRYEBURG The canal was begun in 1812, when a narrow channel was cut. The freshet of 1820 greatly widened the channel, reduced the length of the Saco in town from 36 miles to 24 miles, and draining an extensive area of valuable arable land. Fryeburg postofRce was established Jan. 1, 1798, with Moses Ames, postmaster. The postofRce at the Center was established Feb. 19, 1833, Henry G. Farrington, P. M. West Fryeburg postoffice was established in July 1887, Mrs. E. P. Hutchins, postmistress. WM. CHAPMAN & SON.

The plantation of New Suncook, now the towns of Lovell and Sweden, was granted by the General Court of Massa- chusetts to the survivors and heirs of those who took part in the engagement with the Pequawket Indians at Love- well's pond in 1725. Many of the settlers were from' Con- cord, N. H., then known as Suncook, because of which this township was given the name of New Suncook which name it bore until its incorporation in 1800, when the present name was chosen in honor of Capt. Lovewell, (or Lovell), the leader in the expedition of 1725. In 1813, the town was divided and the southeastern part incorporated the town of Sweden, so named, doubtless because of the prevalence of the names of European countries in this section. No settlement was made here until after the close of the Revolution, at which time many hundreds of families were seeking home lots on the Maine frontier. According to the history of the Andrews family by H. F, Andrews, a native of Lovell, now practicing law in Exira, la., Capt. Abraham Andrews, together with his wife's uncle, John Stearns, then a man of seventy years, and Benj. Stearns, son of John and grandfather to Josiah H. Stearns, came in 1788 and began the first permanei t settlement. They approached their new 74 50 LOVELL home land from the south, following the Indian or hunter's trail east of Kezar Pond to Mill Brook, there they struck an east bound trail which they followed a mile to hi^h land covered with heavy hard wood growth. Here they pitched their tents, or rather built their cabins, for until then they were without shelter. In the fall of 1789, Capt. Andrews brouo-ht his wife and three children, Abraham, Jr., Esther and Hannah, from Billerica, Mass. Others also located here about this time or soon after, among whom were Ananias McAllister at the Center; Stephen Dresser, Joshua Whiting, Oliver Whiting, who one author- ity says was the first actual settler locating just north of Mill Brook; Josiah Heald, with Stephen, Sampson, Samuel and Josiah, all grown up sons and all settled at North Lovell; Samuel E. Andrews, a nephew of Capt. Andrew^s, settled the adjoining farm now occupied by Elwell Andrews, his grandson, near Sabatis Mountain; Noah Eastman, Capt. John Wood, Joseph McAllister, Levi Dresser, Abel Butters and James Kilgore, some of whom located in the southern part of the town. John Farrington of North Cambridge, Mass., a man of some wealth, was granted a lot by the proprietors one mile square at the Center for building the first grist mill and also operating an up-and-down saw where the timber was pre- pared for the earliest framed houses. For others of the settlers who were chosen on the first list of town officers see the following chapter; also see undei* schools for families as divided into school '\,stricts in 1803. At the time of Incorporation in 180r /the population of HISTOKICAL 51 Lovell numbered 698, the settlement being then but twelve years established. On the west side of Kezar Pond settlement was not begun as early as in other parts of the town. Many of the pioneers here were descendents of the earliest settlers in town who took up lots during the first third of the last century and included Sullivan Stearns, Jones Elliott, Wm. LeBaron (at West Lovell), Obed Stearns, Josiah Horr, Nahum Crooker, Benj. Chandler (at West Lovell) and in the Fox neighborhood. Many ol whom came from Porter were Wm. Luther and Andrew Fox, Joseph Howard, Stewart Anderson, Jonathan Andrews and others. George Kussell, grandfather of Dean Russell and son of Maj. Benj. Russell, removed from Boston to East Stoneham about 1817, but soon came to Lovell Center where he took up the Russell farm. His father was publisher and propri- etor of the Columbian Sentinel in Boston, and printer to the first Continental Congress. ACT OF INCORPORATION. COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Caleb Strong. Three weeks later the 54 LOVELL sum of |200 was voted for schooling; $500 for roads and $100 for town expenses. The town was now very well organized except for schools and in 1803, six districts were formed as shown under the chapter on schools. TOWN OFFICERS. TOWN CLERKS. E. G.

HISTORICAL 57 Parker Post, No. 151, G. A. R. was organized May 28, 1888, by sixteen veterans, members of Grover Post of Frye- burg. Six new members were mustered in at the first meet- ing which was held in the Hall at the Center. By this organ- ization named in honor of Douglass Parker who died in Libby prison, the veterans of this town, Sweden and Stone- ham are accommodated, and the post now has a member- ship of twenty-eight residents of these towns generally. For five or six years post meetings have been held in the vestry of the Christian church on the afternoon of the second Satur- day of each month. Upon its organization John W. Webster was chosen Commander; Geo. M. Harriman, Sr. V. C; Chas. H. Brown, Jr. V. C; Josiah H. Stearns, Qr. Mas.; John Fox, chaplain; and E. T. Stearns was appointed adjutant. The officers for 1907, are W. W. Durgin, Com.; J. D. Hatch, Sr. V. C; Benj. Russell, Jr. V. C; E. T. Stearns, Qr. Mas.; J. A. Farrington, Adj.; J. L. Parker, Chap.; J. C. Stearns, Sur.; J. W. Stanford, O. D.; L. C. Sargent, 0. G.; A. L. Pike, Qr. Ser.; C. E. Harmon, Ser. Maj.; J. W. Stanford, Patriotic Instruc- tor. The list of Civil War enlistments will appear at the end of the historical section of this volume. LOVELL CHURCHES. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. On Oct. 6th, 1798, the earliest church organization in Lovell was formed as a town institution with the following 58 LOVELL members: — Samuel Ri^gs (chosen the first deacon), Nath'l Whitaker, John Whiting, Jr., Jas. McKeen, Jr., Jona. But- terfield, Josiah Heald, Abel Butters, Isaac Stearns, Try- phena Heald, Betsey Riggs, Molly McKeen, Prudence But- terfield and Kate Whitaker. The following month Josiah Heald, formerley deacon of church of Carlisle, Mass., was chosen second deacon, in which office he has been succeeded by three generations of his descendants, covering over a cen- tury of the church's history. Rev. Fifield Holt was the first pastor, followed in 1816 by Rev. Henry Sewall, and later by M. Hidden of Tamworth; Jotham Sewall, M. Chapin, L. Rip- ley, N, Church, M. Porter and M. Rice, most of whom sup- plied from surrounding churches. Sept, 27, 1817, the mem- bers living in the newly framed town of Sweden were dis- missed for the purpose of orgauizing a home church, which was, however, generally couuected with the mother church for some years in employiug a pastor. Up to this time no minister had been settled by the town, but on Oct. 14, 1822, Rev. Valentine Little was called by the town to settle among them. And on Nov. 9, follow- ing, the church extended a call to him as their pastor. By vote of the town he was given the right to the land set apart by the terms of the grant to the first settled minister, this together with the income from the ministerial fund. Sweden united in the call and were voted ^%oo of his time. The ordination services contributed one of the grandest events in the early history of Lovell, and were attended by the families from a long distance from the neighboring towns. The Ecclesiastical council formed at the house of HISTORICAL 59 Josiah Heald, Esq., Jan. 21, 1823, and consisted of the pastors and dele^^^ates from Otisfield, Waterford, Brid^ton, Norway and Paris. An elaborate program was carried out and Mr. Little was settled as pastor the following day. In this capacity he served faithfully until 1834, Jan. 22, when he was dismissed, and David Gerry ordained and installed his successor. April 2, 1832, the church was organized as a Bible Class, which is one of the earliest incidents of this nature we have found recorded. Succeeding pastors were Revs. Israel Hills, Ord. May 31, 1837, dis. June, 1845; Seldon Wentworth, 1847-52; Joseph Smith, July 11, 1852- 68; Chas. Morgridge, 18G8-70; Jesse P. Sprowl, T. D. Childs and Benj. Stearns, 1870-72; E. F. Abbot, 1872-73; J. P. Stinchfield, 1874-77; Lewis Goodrich, 1878-84; Josiah Heald, 1884; Wm. Sandbrook, 1886 (Ord. Sept. 1,) resigned 1893; H. E. Farnham, Ord. and installed May 31, 1894, dis. Nov. 5, 1895, Earl B. Wood, 1896-97; Chas. S. Young, 1897- 99; Samuel Holden, Lie. 1900, David E. Burnham, 1901; Chas. F. Sargent, 1902-Sept. 26, '03 and Rev. Chas. H. Shank, the present pastor, who was installed May 1, 1905. The present membership numbers about 80, twenty of whom are absent. The early meeting house and town house was erected at the Centre and is still used as the town house. It has been well preserved and stands a suitable monument to the faith of the fathers. The meeting house at Centre Lovell was built in 1850, and the brick house at Lovell village was com- pleted the following year. Rev. Stephen Sanderson, pastor at Sweden, supplied one half time at the Centre church from 60 LOVELL 1853 to 1866, but the churches have generally employed the same pastor. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH— CENTRE LOVELL. The Christian church at Centre Lovell was organized Oct. 30, 1858, with nineteen members, by John S. Pottle assisted by others. Rev. C. E. Goodwin was pastor until 1860, when he was succeeded by Rev. Lemuel Goodwin until 1867. During this time Elder Isaiah Haley labored four years for the church for the construction of a church home which was erected and dedicated Nov. 14, 1866. In the spring of 1903, this building was raised and a vestry put in below. Rev. J. S. Pottle was pastor from 1867 to 1881; Rev. J. W. Webster, 1886-89. J. W. Card, 1889-93; Fred D. Webster, 1893-Apr. 16, '94; David Chambers, 1894-95; C. L. Baker, Nov. 1, 1895-97; J. W. Grindell, Mar. 1898-Sept. 1903; Chas. H. Shank, May 1, 1904-May 1, '05; and Rev. .r. W. Card since May 1, 1905. This, with the Congrega- tional churches, constitutes the active religious bodies in town. Services were held in Lovell early by the Methodists and regular preaching maintained prior to 1834, in connection with W^aterford. During that year Rev. D. B. Randall was appointed to Lovell, which continued on the minutes until about twenty-five years ago. A Union Church was erected by the Methodists and Universalists in town early in the 1830's. The latter Sect also maintained preaching lor a time. Rev. David B. Byther of Steuben being their last settled pastor. HISTORICAL 61 SCHOOL ITEMS. At the first town meeting held after orpjanization, the sumof|500 was voted for roads, |200 for schooling and |100 lor town charges. This shows a relatively large amount in the interest of education and exemplifies the deep concern felt by the hardy pioneers in the education of their children. Doubtless schools were maintained in the settle- ment prior to this date. Not long after this the town was divided into six school districts, viz:— Upper School Dist. to include Ananias McAllister, Josiah Heald, Jr., Joseph McAllister, Wm. Nevers, Joseph Barker, Robert McKeen, Jas, McKeen, David McAllister, John McDaniel, Oliver Whit- ing, Dea. Josiah Heald, Capt. Samuel Andrews and Capt. John Wood, Esq., Centre Dist. to begin at meetinghouse, thence to John Ranken's, including Stephen Barker and Moses Kilgore. The Lower Dist. to begin at Abel Butter's, thence to Levi Stearns, including Nathaniel Whitaker. The Square School Dist. included all of "the four-miles square," now in Sweden. The Southern School Dist. to begin at Moses Hutchins, thence to E. Eastman's, including Jasper Whiting and Daniel Eastman. The Eastern Dist. to begin at Capt. Abraham Andrews; thence to Capt. Samuel Andrews' including Oliver Wright. In 1803, the Southern District was made to include Lt. Wm. Kimball, Wm. Kim- ball, Jr., Daniel Eastman, Joshua Whiting, Jeremy and Cyrus Eastman, Jas. Kilgore and Abel Butters. At Number 7, later formed at the village, the earliest school house stood on the Christian Hill road on the present site of J. A. Far- 62 LOYELL rington. The present brick school building was constructed about 1853 of brick made in Cutter's yard. In 1825, Lovell had nine school districts and at this time there were five in Sweden. In Lovell, from a population of 470, there were 208 pupils attending school. There are now five districts in Lovell with an attendence of ninety; the Village school which is the largest, having nearly forty pupils in attendance. PROFESSIONAL MEN. Dr. Joseph Cushman was the earliest physician at Lovell village. Stewart Barrows, a native of Fryeburg, who grad- uated from college at the age of twenty, succeeded Dr. Cush- man. Dr. Isaac Chandler from Fryeburg, died in Lovell April 2, 1889, having practiced medicine here 43 years. Dr. Daniel G. Towne came to town contemporary with Dr. Chand- ler, and remained until his death. One Dr. Wentworth prac- ticed here prior to removing to Lewiston. Dr. Augustus French removed from practicing here to Norway about fifteen years ago. Those now in practice in Lovell are Dr. C. P. Hubbard, a native of Hiram, and a graduate of Bowdoin, came here about 1886; Dr. Elmer J. Noyes, also a Bowdoin graduate, and a native of Greenwood, came in April 1889, succeeding Dr. Chandler; and Dr. Geo. A. Allen, a native of Stoneham, who came here from Fryeburg during the winter of 1904-05. David Hammons who removed to Bethel, was the earl- iest resident member of the bar of whom we have learned. HISTORICAL 63 He was a leading lawyer of the State, serving one terra as representative to Congress. David R. Hastings of Bethel located here, sold to Augustus H. Walker at the opening of the War, and enlisted as Major. After a creditable terra of service he returned and settled at Fryeburg. Mr. Walker of Fryeburg remained here until after 1880, but later removed to Bridgton, where he is now in practice. I. F. Hobbs also practiced law in town. Edw. C. Walker, now in Bridgton, was a resident lawyer. He Lost his eye sight in 1885. It is not the object of this work to treat of the raany men, natives of Lovell, who have entered either of these pro- fessions in other fields. Such a list would include many honored names, among them the famous Stearns family which has furnished so many prominent men in both these professions. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. SuNCOOK Grange, No. 140, P. of H., was organized at Centre Lovell in 1875. Henry F. Heald was chosen master and C. K. Chapman, Sec. After continuing about five j^ears with indifferent success the organization was suspended. During the fall of 1904, the order was re-organized at the Centre, but was very soon removed to Odd Fellows Hall, the present place of meeting. A. M. Pottle was chosen master; in 1905 he was succeeded by Owen C. Eastman; in 1906 F. A. Kenniston was chosen, and was re-elected for the present year. W. S. Fox is overseer; Lillian K. Mason, lect- 64 LOVELL urer; Carrie D. Kimball, chaplain; Olive Barker, secretary, and Geo. A. Kimball, treasurer. Present membership over 100. Kezar Lake Grange, No. 440, was organized Sept. 17, 1904, at North Lovell. L. E. McAllister was chosen master; H. B. McKeen, overseer, and Mrs. H. B. McKeen, lecturer. The following spring a new hall was erected, 30 x 52 feet and two stories high, making an excellent grange home. The work on this hall was done by the Grange members, and generally given gratis; the total cash outlay being but |700. The present membership numbers 110. The principal officers chosen for 1907 are H. B. McKeen, master; R, M. McKeen, overseer; Mrs. Cora Butters, lecturer; S. C. McAl- lister, chaplain; Fred Mason, steward; Geo. M. Harriman, treasurer; Edwin S, Allen, secretary. A new Telephone Line installed in 1905-06 gives excel- lent service, with good connections with independent lines throughout the surrounding towns. INDUSTRIES, A grant of one mile square, including a good mill site, was made by the proprietors to John Farrington of North Cambridge, Mass., on condition that he should erect and maintain a saw and grist mill in the new township. Not long after the arrival of the earliest families he had a primitive mill in operation with the old up-and-down saw and a single set of stones. Mr. Farrington, however, was a man of some HISTORICAL 65 means and soon established a flourishing business in which he was succeeded by his son, George. The mill finally run down and was washed away during a freshet. John Fox and Russell Hamblin later erected a mill on the same site which is now operated byJosiah, son of John Fox, in the manufacture of short lumber and spool stock. As early as 1820, John, Josiah and Charles Wood, sons of Capt. John Wood, an early settler, were operating a saw and grist mill at Lovell village; we are unable to state whether the mills were built by them. Am mi Cutter and Capt. Hill latter purchased the property, after which the mills were operated by James Eastman. The next to gain possession, or to become interested in these mills, were the famous mill men, Samuel Locke and his sons Charles, Frank and elohn, the latter of whom was also in trade here for many years. They imj)roved the property and greatly increased the output of the lumber mills. Mr. Nutter, Edw. Fox, the Lockes and Daniel Warren later operated under the name of Nutter, Locke & Co. Gang-saws were then installed to manufacture beading. Eben N. Fox succeeded his father Edward, and is the present owner, the mills being operated by his son, Nelson T. Fox. A short distance below this mill on the same stream, stood an old carding mill and a clothing mill, operated in connection with the above, by the Wood Brothers up to 1850 or later. These were washed away during the 60's by a freshet which doubled the width of the stream at this point. Still farther down the stream was located an early tannery which has long since passed into oblivion. F5 66 LOVELL At Number Four, so called; are standing two idle mills located on Alder brook. That standing nearest the road was at one time owned by Joseph Bassett, a carriage maker, Mr. Johnson, father of the noted artist, also occupied this at an earlier date for making hats and for carding. Lewis Eastman and others have also carried on various branches of business here. Mr. Bassett erected the lower mill to be occupied by his sons as a tannery, but it was never put to use for this purpose. About 1867, Geo. H. Moore bought it, and together with Mr. Walker fitted it up for sawing long and short lumber. They later carried on a furniture and casket manufacturing business. In 1879, Mr. Moore bought out Mr. Walker and run a saw and shingle mill up to about 1893, since which time it has stood idle. The saw and grist mills at Slab City were built by Benj. Heald about 60 years ago. The grist mill was later fitted up for sawing spools, but was burned. Ira, son of Benj, Heald, succeeded his father here, and sold to Josiah H. Fox some five years ago. The mill at the head of the pond was built by Wm. Hazeltine for a spool mill. After many years it was burned, but was rebuilt at once. Mr. Hazeltine was later forced to assign when this property passed into the possession of Barnes Walker. It was later burned. Many other minor branches of manufacturing have been carried on in town, although agriculture should be called the chief industry in Lovell. Much of the land is fertile and productive. For the past ten years considerable attention has been given to summer business and now there are between 300 and 400 people who come here each season for HISTORICAL 67 recreation and rest. The first cottage on the shores of the beautiful Kezar Lake was built by Benj. E. Brown ten years since. Mr. Brown has developed a good business, having erected several cottages along the lake, and operates a line of boats and a good hotel. Among those from out of town who now have summer homes here is the great artist, Douglass Volk, of New York City. We should also mention the brick business which was carried on here by Am mi Cutter, Edward Fox and John E. Emery. Mr. Cutter and Mr. Emery began in 1847 making brick on the farm now owned by Lyman Plummer. Edward Fox later carried on this yard and built two large brick houses in the village. After three years Mr. Emery began by himself on his own farm, continuing in the business three years longer, during which time he furnished brick for Num- bers 2 and 7 school houses in Sweden, his own and two near- by dwelling houses. The Barnes Walker house was built in 1847, the earliest brick house in town. John Fox has also burned a few brick at West Lovell.

SETTLEMENT AND ORGANIZATION The early history of the town of Sweden is very closely connected with the history of Lovell, of which town it formed a part until the year 1813. It is the south-eastern part of the grant made to the survivors and heirs of the soldiers who participated in the Lovewell fight. Col. Samuel Nevers of Burlington, Mass., a veteran of the Revolution, came to that part of New Suncook which is now Sweden, in 1791, and in 1793 rafted 70,000 feet of logs on Sebago Lake, cleared from his farm. In 1792 Benj. Web- ber, a brother-in-law, felled 8 acres of Nevers' land, and here Nevers built the first log house in the part now Sweden. His sons, Samuel, Jr., Wm. 3d, and Benj,, all settled near him. Id 1797 Jacob Stevens built a house here, and the fol- lowing year Capt. Benj. Webber took up a homestead in the eastern part. David Milliken, Sullivan Jones and Oliver Haskell, the latter of whom settled the farm now occupied by O. H. Haskell, were early settlers in town. Mr. Nevers held a Colonel's commission in the War of 1812, but only assisted in mustering his regiment. He was a member of the convention at Portland, in 1819, and frequently sent to HISTORICAL 69 the Legislature. He died in 1857, aged about 91. Geo. C. Maxwell and his brother, Nahum, came from Wells and settled at Black Mountain. Jacob Farrington settled on the Black Mountain road. William Nevers, a brother to Col. Samuel, settled the farm now occupied by Wilbur MoultOD. Oliver Knight located on Knight Hill, in the N. W. part of the town. Mieah Trull, a brother-in-law to Col. Nevers, is said to have come here with him. Many others had located in this end of the town by 1813 when the prayer of the inhabitants was granted by the Massachu- setts Legislature, and the town of Sweden incorporated. The warrant issued calling the first town meeting was directed to Benj. Webber, Esq., calling the qualified voters to meet in District Number 5 School-house, on Tuesday, April 6. Jacob Stevens was chosen moderator; Benj. Web- ber, clerk, which oflEice he filled until 1822; Benj. Webber, Calvin Powers and Stephen Sanderson, Jr. selectmen and overseers of the poor; Timothy Evans, constable; Andrew Woodbury, treasurer, (served for several years); and minor ofiicers, including several tything-men. A vote is recorded this year "to have the annual March meeting holden on the first Monday in April." The following is a list of names taken from a High-way Tax List, under date of June 5, 1813, compiled by the as- sessors, and shows the names of all tax-payers in town at that time:— Col. Samuel Nevers, Capt. Benj. Webber, Eben Stevens, Ruel Tower, Micah Trull, Ephraim Jewett, Edmund Watson, Nathaniel Flint, Asa Stevens, Calvin Powers, Moses Hutchins, Jr., Andrew Woodbury, Wm. Nevers, Jacob 70 SWEDEN Stevens, Jacob Stevens, Jr., Aaron Stevens, Philo Holden, Peter Holden, Daniel Whitcorab, Richard Senter, Jas. Sen- ter, Abel Senter, Samuel Plummer, Benj. Wiuship, Joseph Harding, Nathaniel Ordway, Timothy Evans, Abraham Kneeland, Moses Kneeland, David Kneeland, Samuel Brig- ham, Jr., Samuel Pike, Samuel Giles, John Sanderson, Jo- seph Sanderson, Stephen Sanderson, Nathaniel Evans of Fryeburg; Wm. Green of Bridgtou. Andrew Woodbury's homestead was in the western part of the town. In 1814 the board of selectmen and leading officers were re-elected. This year the name of Foxwell C. Blanchard appears on the town books. In 1819 the vote on the separation of Maine from Massachusetts was nearly even, there being 16 votes cast in favor of and 14 against the measure. In 1827 Col. Nevers gave a lot of land to the Lovell school fund (shared by Sweden), and the same year built the Meeting and Town House, long known as the "Free Meeting House." This was re-built by Thos. Trull and John Morrison, in 1861, into the present Town House. TOWN OFFICERS. CLERKS, 1840-1907. Samuel Nevers, Jr., 1840; Benj. Webber, Jr., 1841-50; E. W. Woodbury, 1851-53; Ben].

Sweden is almost exclusively an agricultural town, although her residents realize much from the products of the excellent forests of pine, spruce and deciduous trees. The settlers here obtained sawed lumber from the mills of Lovell and surrounding towns for the scattered framed houses which they were able to erect prior to the building of a mill in town. The earliest mill on the site of H. H. Bisbee's mill was a grist and lumber mill built and operated by Paul Whitcomb. Samuel Nevers, Jr., purchased the mills of Mr. Whitcomb and operated them until succeeded by his son-in-law, E. Warren Bennett. Mr. Bisbee married the daughter of Mr. Bennett and succeeded to the business. The old mill was washed out by a freshet in 1885 (?), rebuilt and soon burned. Mr. Bennett again rebuilt the present steam and water mill now operated by Mr. Bisbee for the manufacture of long and short lumber and spool stock. An early mill in the south east part of Sweden, known as the "Thomas Trull mill" was burned sometime ago, and never rebuilt. Another early mill stood in the western part of the town known as "Clough's Mill" which decayed and fell to the ground. Mr, Bisbee's is the only mill now in oper- ation in Sweden. 74 SWEDEN CHURCHES IN SWEDEN. Very soon after the erection of the new town the estab- lishment of an independent home church was sought by the citizens of Sweden. Accordingly the proper steps were taken, members of the Lovell church living- in Sweden were dismissed from the mother church on Sept. 27, 1817, and Nov. 4, Jacob, Aaron, Asa, Hannah, Mary and Olive Ste- vens; Sally Woodbury, Abagail Powers were organized as a Congregational Church by Rev. L. Ripley of Waterford. Mary, wife of Eben Stevens and Phebe, daughter of Jacob Stevens were admitted to membership at once. Services were sometimes held at Calvin Powers house, although the old Congregational Church was built about this time. This church was framed by Geo. and Nahum Maxwell. In it may yet be seen the galleries, box-pews and high pulpit character- istic of the architecture of the time. This church united with the mother church for many years in the employment of a pastor. Rev. Valentine Little, being settled in 1823 and remaining until 1834, giving about one-third of his time to this society. The following is a list of settled pastors and stated supplies who served this society:— Revs. Owen Burnham, 1834; Eaton Mason, 1835- 45; David Garland, 1846-47; John P. Foster, 1848-51; Enos Merrill, 1851; Isaac Weston, one year following Aug. 1, 1851; L. W. Harris, 1852-53; Chas. B. Smith, 1854-58; Amasa Loring, 1859-62 (with Denmark); Stephen Sander- son, 1853-63 (with Lovell village): Ezra B. Pike, 1863-66; supplies, 1867-70; Truman S. Perry, 1870-74 (Ord. 1873); HISTORICAL 75 F. E. Sherman, 1875, 3 mos.; Lewis Goodrich, Jan, 1, 1879- 84 (with Lovell). Since this time no regular services have been held. A society of the Free Baptist denomination was early organized in town, holding meetings in the school house before the erection of the "Hemlock Church" in the same district. This was over sixty years ago. Their services were well attended for many years, preaching being supplied by itinerant preachers from surrounding towns. Rev. Mr. Cobb was perhaps the last minister. The society has now become extinct and the meeting house crumbled to dust. A Methodist Class was early formed in Sweden and a church organized probably before the formation of the town. The first meeting house built by the Methodists stood in the Sanderson neighborhood and was erected probably as early as 1812. This was removed to Nevers' Corner about 30 years ago and rebuilt into the present neat church edifice. The circuit has always been connected with some other in the surrounding towns. The present connection being with the Harbor church. The following pastors have served since 1892.* Rev. W. H. Gowell, 1892-93; J. H. Bounds, 1894-95; Wm. Bragg, 1896; Geo. W. Barber, 1897-1901 and and one half of 1902; E. F. Doughty, half of 1902, and during 1903; J. B. Howard, 1904; and Rev. E. F. Doughty, 1905- 06. The free meeting house was occupied by itinerant preachers of other faiths including the Universalists, but it is believed they never reached the dignity of a church body. *Li8t furnished by O. H. Haskell. 76 SWEDEN SCHOOL ITEMS. After the incorporation of Sweden, the schools of both towns were reorojanized, Number 5 of the old town being made District No. 1, (?) of Sweden, Here the original house stood near the Congregational meeting house in the corner of the cemetery. The present house was built about 1855. The brick house in the Centre District was built in 1854. In 1813, nothing was voted for education. In 1814, |70 was raised, in 1815 nothing, and |50 each of the two following years. The Lovell school fund was shared by this town and presumably made up a sum sufficient to maintain the few schools necessary. In ] 818, the town was redis- tricted, Benj, Webber, John Swain and Stephen Sanderson, Jr., acting as committee. In 1825, there were 5 districts, with 141 pupils attending. In 1880, there were seven school districts. Sweden has had two resident Physicians. Dr. Nathan Bradbury came from Norway to Webber's Corner where he remained for many years practice. His daughter, Eliza, married Dr. Babb, and with him practiced medicine in East- port and other places. They are now in the West. Dr. Orren Ross located here before the death of Dr. Bradbury, but not long after removed to Kennebunk. Sweden Grange P. of H., No. 134, was first organ- ized in 1875, in Town Hall, but did not long continue active. It was re-organized in Sept. 1904, with about 59 members, which number has now increased to 70. Mark E. Perry was chosen master at the re-organization; and was re-elected. HISTORICAL 77 H. 0. Saunders, lecturer and Clarence E. Jones, overseer. C. E. Jones was master in 1906, and re-elected for 1907. Other leading officers for the present year are F. D. Holden, overseer; H. O. Saunders, lecturer; Mrs. Walton Charles, chaplain; May H. King, secretary; Louisa Moulton, treas- urer. Meetings are held every other Monday evening in the town house. E. E.

Many of the pioneers of the town of Stow were sons and daughters of the settlers of Fryeburg, of which town the southern half of this formed a part under the name of Frye- burg Addition. This part consisting of 4,147 acres, was granted by the General Court to the proprietors of Fryeburg to offset that part of the original town which was found to lie across the line in the adjoining state of New Hampshire. The northern half of the town is made up of grants to Brad- ley and Eastman. The valleys of the Cold River Streams form extensive and valuable farm lands in the south and central portions, while in the north the surface is very rug- ged. William Russell was perhaps the earliest settler in Stow, locating where Jas. Irish's brick house was burned during the summer of 1906. Here he was succeeded by his son-in- law, Amos Hastings. John Farrington settled just east of Stow Corner. His father, Samuel, was one of the early men of prominence. Isaac, James, Micah and Simeon Abbott came from Andover, Mass., James and Simeon came to Stow Corner from Fryeburg, and together erected the large square house in the corner in 1804. Together they erected the earl- iest saw and grist mills in town, about 1800. These brothers lived in the large corner house until each had seven HISTORICAL 79 children, when Simeon built the house now occupied by his daughter, Mrs. Maria Clay. The Abbott's received a lar^e tract of land, over one square mile, extendinj^; from the Chatham line across Great Cold River, taking in the level land, and extending one-half mile north and south of the mills, except Farrington's, and perhaps one or two other settlers' lots. Micah Abbott lived just above the house erected by his brothers. Andrew Johnson settled south of Farriugton; John Walker, Jr., % mile west of Mr. Johnson, where he was succeeded by James, his son. Thomas Farrington, a cousin to Samuel, lived one mile below Stow Corner on the North Fryeburg road, Jona. F. Fifield located where Joshua, his son, now lives. Samuel D. Huntress settled % mile below the Corner. He saw service in the War of 1812, and walked home from Portland in a day, upon his discharge. Lieut. Ben j. Walker took up the lot adjoining the Fryeburg line. Wm. Gordon settled the lot in the south point now occupied by Thos. Dresser. Samuel Walker took up the present farm of 0. H. Day, near the town house. Cyrus Eastman settled on the road East of Cold River. Eben Davis and his son, Lot, on last farm in Stow on road to Chatham Center. Here he was licensed in 1827-8-9 to sell spirituous liquors. Abner, brother to Lot, was an early Methodist minister. Jeremy Eastman came from Lovell and lived with Sam- uel D. Huntress. John Brickett lived near Harrington's steam mill; Albion Pride, 2 miles north of Stow Corner; Moses Fife, in north part of the town, east of Cold River. Amos Bemis was a later occupant of the Russell farm. Sam- 80 STOW uel and John Gray, brothers, located near West Lovell at Hemp Hill, so named from John Hemp Hill, an old resident. Sewall Brown also settled in this locality. Uriah Dresser married Thos. Farrington's daughter and succeeded to his place. Stephen Dresser, his father, lived east of Great Cold Kiver. Stephen Ames lived in the northern part. Uriah H. Davis lived opposite the church site. Mathew and Abiel F. Whitney and Wm. Wiley were early residents. Josiah B. Day came from Fryeburg in 1833, to the farm now occupied by his son, O. H. Day. ORGANIZATION. The plantation of Fryeburg Addition was organized on Sept. 29, 1821, at the house of Thomas Farrington. Sam- uel Farrington was chosen moderator, and Moses Abbott became plantation clerk. Simeon Abbott, Thos. Farrington and Wm. Gordon were chosen assessors, Samuel D. Hunt- ress, collector and Samuel Farrington, treasurer. At the regular March meeting held the next year, |200 was voted for highways, $50 for schools and |10 to defray town charges, also $150 to complete the school house. As recorded in the town records the assessors chosen for 1822- 23-24 were also "selectmen," but this is presumably an error as the town was not incorporated as such, until 1833, and organized March 4. By the Act of Incorporation the plantation took the HISTORICAL 81 name of the Town Of Stow. The organization meeting was assembled at the school house. Isaac Abbott became the first town clerk; Moses Abbott, Amos Hastings and John Wiley, selectmen and S. D, Huntress, treasurer. In 1837, an enumeration of the inhabitants was taken for the distribution of the public funds (under President Jackson), with the following results:— Under 4 years, 48; between 4 and 21, 116; over 21 years, 140; total, 304. Taken by Uriah Dresser, town clerk, April 5. The town house was erected soon after the passage of a vote> "to that effect taken in 1842. It seems to have been first occupied in the Spring of 1846. .

John Walton was a veteran of the French and Indian Wars and of the Revolution. His son, John, and Samuel D. Huntress and Silas Abbott were in the War of 1812-14; the latter being engaged at Plattsburg and on other fields. Wm. Rounds served in the Mexican War. Peleg G. Chandler enlisted during the late Spanish-Amer- ican War. The Civil War enlistments will be found at the close of the historical section. INDUSTRIES. The industries of Stow are very like those of the towns surrounding, viz: lumbering, milling and agriculture. The early mills erected by Simeon and James Abbott at Stow Corner were operated for many years with an old up-and- down saw and but one set of stones. Later they put in a boiler. These men were succeeded by their sons, Noyes and HISTORICAL 85 Micah, respectively; later Noyes sold to Micah, who in turn sold the entire privilege to Albert Abbott. The mills have had many operators, some by lease, including Eben T. Nut- ter, Chas. Peary (father of Lieut. Peary the explorer), Mason Hastings (who repaired the mills), Oscar Charles, Edgar Guptill and C. F. Lufkin. Mr. Lufkin took out the old grist mill. About five years ago he sold to W. H. Farrington who has done little to arrest the decay of the ancient struct- ure. It is now but a ruin. A shingle mill was built by Moses Abbott % mile above this mill. Moses W., his son, Merritt E. Clay and Elden Emerson were later owners here. Mr. Emerson put in a steam mill which was burned about 1890. This he rebuilt and sold to W. H. Farrington who operated a short time. The mill is now quiet. S. H. Harriman erected a saw mill on Great Cold River some 15 years ago. After two or three years it was burned, but soon rebuilt and is now operated by Mr. Harri- man in the manufacture of spool stock and long lumber. This mill is located at the foot of Mt. Royce, in the northern part of the town. Jona. F. Fifield, Noyes Abbott, Elden Emerson and James Irish have burned brick in town. METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Meetings of the Congregationalists, Methodists and Uni- versalists were early held in town, in schoolhouses, and later in the town house. In 1869, a Union meeting house was 86 STOW erected near Stow Corner by 0. H. Day, Sylvester and Wm. Emerson, Chas. Nutter, and Jewett and Amos Haley, pro- prietors, at a cost of about $2400. This house was dedi- cated to the use of the Methodists; the Congregationalists having erected a house in Chatham, This was formerly con- nected with Fryeburg village circuit; sometimes with Lovell, but since the establishment of regular services at the Harbor it has been united with that church. Appointments to this circuit since 1884, have been Rev. M. B. Greenhalgh, 1884- 85; J. H. Roberts, 1886-87; J. M. Woodbury, 1888; F. C. Potter, 1889; W. H. Gowell, 1890-91; G. G. Powers, 1892- 93; A. S. Staples, 1894; G. W. Barber, 1895-96; Wm. Bragg, 1897-98; and Rev. E. F. Doughty, 1899-1906. A new par- sonage erected at the Harbor was first occupied by Mr. Doughty. Prior to this the pastors lived in the old Abbott house at Stow Corner. SCHOOL ITEMS. The Schools of Stow have received generous and efficient support from the voters in town. At the first meeting held for making appropriations $50 for schools and $150 for finishing the school house were raised. Two districts were established. In 1833, five districts were established, viz: — No. 1, the South District; No. 2, commencing at Andrew Johnson's and running to Albion Pride's north line; No. 3, beginning at north line on Steele's lot running to Fryeburg line east of Great Cold River; No. 4, beginning at Steele's HISTORICAL 87 north line and containing; "the Grant" excepting Pride's district; No. 5, containing the mile-half square on Batchel- der's Grant. This number later increased to eight districts. In 1893, the town system was adopted. Moses Abbott was appointed the first postmaster at Stow; followed by Osgood Charles. Wm. C. Walker was postmaster here for several years and was succeeded by his son, Isaac A. Walker, the present encumbent, in Feb. 1862. Mr. Walker received his first appointment from Abraham Lincoln and has held the office continually which is a record probably unsurpassed by any other postmaster in the state. W. S.

H* The Town Of Chatham lies in the northern part of the State ol New Hampshire, close under the shadow of the tow- ering White Mountains which begin their precipitous ascent within its borders. The Eastern part of the township lies within the valley of the Cold Stream and contains some excellent farms and most of the inhabitants. The moun- tains within the western half are heavily timbered and set with a sparkling jewel, Mountain Pond, whose waters are remarkably clear and cool. The Earliest Grant was made by Gov. Benning Went- worth, Feb. 7, 1767, to Peter Levins and seventy-two asso- ciates, and named in honor of Lord Chatham, It was laid out ten miles long and four miles wide. Under date of July 2, 1772, Gov. John Wentworth conveyed 1829 acres of this tract near the center of the town to Thomas McDonough, his private secretary, who caused 12 acres to be cleared the following year. Being a Loyalist McDonough fled to Can- ada at the breaking out of the Revolution, when his prop- erty was confiscated and a few families settled on the grant. After peace was declared he returned as British Consul to New England and his land being restored to him attempted to establish a colony of his country men, built three houses, but became discouraged and abandoned the project. According to information obtained from Ithiel E. Clay, HISTORICAL 89 Esq.,* the First Settlers moved their families into Chatham in the year 1781; these were Samuel Phipps, Increase Robinson and Isaac Cox. The wife of Mr. Cox was something of a civil engineer and run many of the lines in the vicinity, often camping out several nights in succession. Eliza, daughter of Mr. Phipps, is said to have been the first white person to die in Chatham, 1792, at the age of eighteen. She was buried on the Hill on the farm now owned by Chas. fi. Binford. Here also were these three pioneers buried, whose remains were removed to the Centre burying ground about four years ago. Elijah Phipps, James Clay, Ebenezer Shaw, and one Danforth, who lived on the S. E. corner of what is known as the Wiley Orchard on the Robins Hill road, were among the early settlers. The first male child born in town was born in the Danforth house. At the Center were also families of Carters, Binfords, Hanfords, Moxies and Harrimans early; also families of Thomases and Eatons were early in town. As shown by a petition dated May 25, 1797, grants weic also made by Gov. John Wentworth to Jonathan Warren, Esq., Rev. Samuel Langdon and others some years prior to that date. This petition was directed to the General Court of N. H. for obtaining the privilege of taxing non-resident lands to raise funds for improving roads, which up to that time were very poor, except pieces improved by the grantees last mentioned. As a result a tax of 2^ cents per acre was assessed on all non-resident lands. This petition was signed by the following men, residents in town at that time: — *Froin "Town Papers." 90 CHATHAM Kichard Walker Jonas Wyman Asa Eastman Paul Chandler Isaac Robbins Sam'l Bradley Jr. John Robbins Samuel Hazeltine Jona.

Abbott John Robbin Abiel Chandler The first four in the first column were settlers at North Chatham; John Robbins settled on Robbins' Hill. Isaac Waldron was living in town at this time, or very soon after and it is probable that a few others were occupying- home lots at this time. Many homesteads were taken up far up among the foothills or mountain sides which are now abandoned to the growing timber. These farms were hard of access and equally hard to cultivate, although on many of them were reared families ranging in number from six to sixteen chilaren. By an act approved June 23, 1817, a tract of land north of the town containing 2000 acres, which was granted to Lieut. Samuel Gilman, March 1, 1770, was annexed to Chatham. In 1823, the town was severed irom Coos County and annexed to Strafford, and so remained until the forma- tion of Carroll County 18-iO, when it was included in the latter. The farms of Jona. Hardy and Edward Shirley were severed from Conway and annexed to Chatham June 26, 1823. July 2, 1838, the farm of Juda Dana, containing 500 acres, was annexed to this town, and June 30, 1869, a tract of land was set off from Chatham to Bartlett. HISTORICAL 91 TOWN OFFICERS. CLERKS. R.

The earliest mill built at Chatham Centre was put up by the neighbors, principally by Simon Blake and John and Alva Leavitt. John Bryant later became owner and operator, in whose possession the mill ran down and the old up-and-down saw ceased. Eli Johnson rebuilt the mill, after which it passed through the hands of several owners until it again decayed. A steam mill is now operated near by J. L. Binford, the builder, for the manu- facture of dowels and long lumber. The first mill at South Chatham was built by Nathan Ames, for sawing long and short lumber. Here also was the early custom grinding mill to which the farmers of the HISTORICAL 93 section brought their crops of corn and rye which furnished a staple article of diet. Later owners of this mill were Edward Webb, Chas. R. Locke, and the White Mtn. Paper Co., who are heavy owners of timber lands in town, and Geo. B. James the present owner. This mill has been rebuilt and has been under nearly constant operation. In 1817, two saw mills, a cloth dressing mill, a carding machine and two corn mills were in operation in town. There were then 201 inhabitants. These mills were operated chiefly for the man- ufacture of home products and were generally ot small capacity. Being at a distance from the railroad not so much tribute has been paid to commercialism, the products of the forest and farm supplying many ol the necessitiss of living. The Church relations of Chatham and Stow are closely connected, as indeed are all business and social relations. The Methodist Church in Stow is attended by members from Chatham, as the Congregational Church here is supported by many from the sister town. Services were held in town by preachers of the various faiths early in its history. In 1860, Rev. Benj. Stearns of Lovell held services here one half the time, and on Oct. 22, 1861, the Stow and Chatham Con- gregational church was organized. Rev. E. H. Hart became acting pastor in 1862, and was followed by Ezra B. Pike the following spring. Rev. Mr. Pike remained with the church until May 1867, 2 months in 1868, and from May 18, 1869, to May 20, 1873, when he removed to Boothbay. Several supplies have been stationed here for from one to six months through the summers, viz: Francis P. Smith, 1867; 94 CHATHAM Israel T. Otis, 1868; Chas. E. Fitz; 1874; J. H. Leavitt, 1874 and from Oct. 1875; Geo. P. Blanchard, 1875; John D. Emerson, 1875; J. H. Leavitt, 1876-77; Isaac H. Libby, ordained pastor 1878, dismissed Feb. 4, 1880; Nestor Light, 1881; Clarence Pike, 1881; Henry Farrar, acting pastor from July 1, 1882 to Mar. 1, 1888; Chas. S. Young, 1897; Jas. 0. Carter, 1903-June 30, 1904; I. J. Merry, 1905, The church is now without a pastor. The house of worship was erected in 1871, a year or two after the erection of the Union House, now the Methodist church, was erected at Stow. Rev. Mr. Hart taught a term of high school at the town house, near the time and probably during his pastorate. The public schools of Chatham rank well with those of simi- lar towns of this section, while many of its advanced stud- ents continue their studies at Fryeburg Academy. A good list of the residents of this town is found upon the war rolls from 1861 to 1865. Many of these enlisted on the quotas of Chatham and served in New Hampshire regi- ments, while others served in Maine regiments. Of the former were Jas. S. Hunt, 5th N. H. Reg.; Jas. M.Harriman, died Jan. 20, 1862; Wm. Goodwin, 6th N. H.; Jas. Emerson, Edgar Harriman, Amos Harriman, Phelmen Harriman, all of Co. K., 14th N. H. Reg.; John H. Stiles and Wm. H. Don- nelly, Heavy Art.; Orren Heath, Chas. Weeks, Elmore Fife, Micajah N. Fife, Moses Harriman, Ebenezer Pickering, all of Co. C. 2d N. H. The following were also in the service, some of them serving in Maine regiments:— Samuel B. Knox, Simpson, Horace and Stephen Chandler, Edgar A. Stevens, John Stiles, Osborne Anderson, Chas. H. Binford, John HISTORICAL 95 Bryant, Hale "Watson, Alpheus Morrison, Andrew Johnson, Benj. Johnson, Calvin Meader, John Meader, Albion Cobb, Jas. Harnden, Samuel Harnden, Lewis Stevens, Elmer Stevens, Moses Harnden, John Nichols, Chas. Coffin, John Leavitt, Daniel Baker, Thomas Guptill, Stephen P. Mclntire and George Nichols. For much of the information given in this chapter we are indebted to Micajah N. Fife, whose name appears in the above list. Mr. Fife has served as post master at North Chatham for many years; and represented this town in the Legislature in 1905-06. His brother, Seth Wyman Fife, who is a native of Chatham, has practiced law at Fryeburg for many years and is a leading man in the affairs of that town; his name is also well known throughout New England as the proprietor of the E. W. Burbank Seed Co. Chatham has had no resident physicians or lawyers. 96 BUSINESS DIRECTORY FRYEBURG BUSINESS DIRECTORY, 1907. Postmaster— Mary E. Frye; North, Bert C. Webb; East, H. V.

In these families, in addi- tion 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 resi- dents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear only wheFi one or both of 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. Non-residents are indicated by the (*). When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ).
