 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Nowhere in the State of Maine can be found more beau- 
 tiful and varied scenery than presents itself in the rugged 
 landscape of the celebrated Oxford Hills bordering the upper 
 valley of the Androscoggin. The surface of the three towns 
 of which we treat is beautifully varied by precipitous hills, 
 with their peaks generally covered with evergreen forest 
 trees, quiet lakes nestling at their feet, and rushing brooks 
 and hillside torrents wending their way to the noble river 
 which surrounds this section to the north and east. 
 
 This section of Maine was not entered by civilization, 
 except for hunting and trapping, for many decades after the 
 formation of permanent settlements along the coast, and on 
 the lower courses of the great river highways. Gradually, 
 as the native Indian tribes retreated or became weakened by 
 the loss of numbers, the ambitious and progressive white 
 men ventured farther up the river courses or penetrated the 
 
6 INTRODUCTION 
 
 ojreat unbroken wilderness; thus gradually but steadily- 
 pushing forward the pioneer line, and forcing backward the 
 old order of native ownership of the soil and its common 
 possession by a race which seemed to delight both in the lib- 
 erties of peace, and the vicissitudes of war. 
 
 During the last twenty years of the eighteenth century 
 many townships in Oxford county and the interior of Maine 
 were granted or sold to men who sought them for the priv- 
 ileges of making for themselves and their families homes 
 where they should be at peace, and enjoy the liberties so 
 dearly and heroically bought. Settlement was made in 
 Buckfield in 1777, in Sumner soon after the close of the 
 American Revolution, and in the towns farther north and 
 west very soon following. This was the beginning of a 
 period of remarkable growth and development in this section 
 of the State, which we shall briefly follow in this account as 
 they are related to the towns of which we write. 
 
HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK 
 
 EARLY SETTLEMENT. 
 
 Not until settlements had been made in all of the sur- 
 rounding towns did the rugged tract of land now included 
 within Woodstock, Greenwood, Alban}^, and Milton, and 
 what was formerly Franklin plantation, attract the atten- 
 tion of settlers, Fryeburg. on the Saco river, was settled in 
 1762, the first settlement in Oxford county. Bethel had a 
 settler in 1773 and Waterford in 1775. Buckfield was set- 
 tled in 1777, Paris tw^o years later, and Rumford in 1780, 
 Sumner in 1783, Norway in 1786 and Peru in 1793, but up 
 to this time none ventured to make a home>'ithin the terri- 
 tory thus surrounded. This offered to those engaged in 
 hunting, fishing and trapping, a "happy hunting ground" 
 but not so to the man who must till the soil for his living. 
 Thus it was that the place became frequented by those of 
 the former class before 1795. 
 
 The thrifty settlements at No. 4, (Paris) and at New 
 Penacook (Rumford), being separated by a distance of 
 about twenty miles w^ished better connection than was 
 offered by the single foot path, so in 1795, they jointly 
 petitioned the Court of General Sessions for the location of 
 a road that should connect the two settlements. This 
 petition was granted and a committee consisting of John 
 
8 WOODSTOCK 
 
 Greenwood, Nath. C. Allen, Isaac Parsons, Ichabod Bonney 
 and Pele^ Chandler was appointed to locate the road which 
 was soon after built. This, the first road built through 
 Number Three as the township was then called, generally 
 agreed with the present well traveled road crossing the west- 
 ern section of the town. 
 
 Christopher and Solomon Bryant, Jr., sons of one of the 
 settlers in Paris were already familiar with the attractions 
 offered by the region around Long Pond, as Bryant's Pond 
 was then called, where they had spent much time fishing and 
 hunting. According to their wishes to locate, with another 
 brother and several brothers-in-law, in this region, they 
 employed one Thomas Joycelin, of Buckfield, to lay out ten 
 lots of one hundred acres each, five on each side of the new 
 county road. This was in the spring of 1797, and it was 
 during the following summer that the Bryant brothers 
 made the first clearings. The following year they returned 
 from Paris where they spent the wiuter, burned their clear- 
 ings and erected log houses. In October they came with 
 their families and household goods, and on the twelfth of 
 November the wife of Christopher Bryant gave birth to her 
 first child, a son, who was named Christopher, Jr., and was 
 the first white child born in town. 
 
 In the spring of 1799, Luther Briggs, a brother-in-law 
 of the Bryants, brought his famil^^ into town, and the same 
 summer, Jacob Whitman, Jr., of Buckfield, brought his wife 
 to the settlement, locating on the present town farm. Luke 
 Owens, an Irishman, made a clearing on the Morton Curtis 
 farm where he lived four or five years and then removed to 
 
HISTORICAL 9 
 
 Paris. Levi Berry, from Buckfield, fell an openinoj on lot No. 
 11 in the west part of Woodstock. In the fall of 1799 Sam- 
 uel Bryant built a cabin on what is known as The "Com- 
 mon" lot, and moved in. In 1800 Levi Berry married a 
 sister of the Bryants and established a home on his clearing. 
 Luther Whitman, a brother of Jacob, and probably Asa 
 Thurlow from Buckfield and John Nason from Paris, moved 
 in during the year, making a total population of nine fami- 
 lies in town during the winter of 1800-01, not reckoning 
 Owens. 
 
 At this juncture a change in the ownership of these lands 
 was made by the acceptance of the western half of the town- 
 ship by the Trustees of Dummer Academy in fulfillment of a 
 grant of a half-township to that institution by the Massa- 
 chusetts legislature. On March 5, 1800, the committee on 
 the sale of eastern lands conveyed the grant to the Trustees, 
 and this became known as the " Dummer Academy Grant." 
 But on the thirteenth of the following October the Trustees 
 sold the grant to Michael Little of Poland for the sum of 
 16240. Mr. Little employed Alexander Greenwood, of 
 Hebron, to run out the land into lots ready for settlement. 
 He treated liberally the few settlers whom he found already 
 occupying his lauds, realizing perhaps that their presence 
 would aid him in faltilling the conditions of the grant. 
 
 In the fall of 1801 Stephen Chase, w^ho had been in Mr. 
 Little's employ, came here with his brother Merrill, to select 
 homestead lots. Stephen selected lot 33 and Merrill lot 29, 
 being adjoining lots situated South-easterly from the one 
 afterwards selected by David Bicker, known as the "Bicker 
 
10 WOODSTOCK 
 
 Farm." The following March they moved their families to 
 the clearings which they made during the fall. For five 
 years after he came to town Stephen kept a journal which 
 today throws much light on life as it was lived in those try- 
 ing days. Noah Curtis moved to lot No. 10 in 1804 and his 
 son Morton, to lot No. 15, the following year. 
 
 Soon after the settlement in the west part of Woodstock 
 was made a section two lots wide was surveyed the width of 
 the half-township on Paris line by John K, Smith. These 
 lots were of different sizes, and in number some twelve or 
 fifteen. Abraham and Jonathan Walton settled upon two 
 of these lots, and the former, if not the latter was here in 
 1801. Mr. A. Hutchinson, and also Mr. E. Hutchinson, 
 occupied two other lots. Another was taken up by one Mr. 
 Reniff. Benj. Forbes bought lot No. 7, according to Smith's 
 survey, in 1804 and soon after John Gray and John Star- 
 bird bought two adjacent lots; the two last named lots in 
 1825, were annexed to Paris. 
 
 The eastern half of the township was, on June 23, 1803, 
 granted by the legislature of Massachusetts to the Trustees 
 of Gorham Academy, including the portion already settled. 
 The stated conditions being met by the Trustees, they 
 employed Lothrop Lewis and Matthew Cobb a committee to 
 run out the land. The grant was surveyed in 1806 by Gen. 
 James Irish of Gorham, afterwards Land Agent of Maine. 
 In this, as in the survey of the "Thousand Acres" in the 
 west part, the previous survey of a few lots was not dis- 
 turbed. Soon after the survey was made, that is in 1807, 
 the entire grant was sold to James H. Chadbourne and 
 
HISTORICAL 11 
 
 twenty others, mostly citizens of Gorham, for the sum of 
 110,000. These proprietors divided the land among them- 
 selves, and afterwards sold it out to settlers. 
 
 But these lauds were not attractive to the men seeking 
 homesteads, consequently these settlements increased slowly. 
 In the spring of 1804, Cornelius Perkins came from Paris to 
 lot No. G in the east part, and was the first settler in the 
 school district which has continued to bear his name since 
 its formation. Other settlers in the eastern grant were Geo. 
 Townsend, Lazarus Rand, David Rand, Benaiah Dow, Lydia 
 Dunham and sons, and Luther Dudley's sons, of whom 
 Josiah was the oldest. 
 
 Others in the w^estern grant who had taken up lots 
 there prior to the organization of the plantation were David 
 Ricker, Jr., who came to No. Three in 1803 ; John True who 
 bought lot No. 21 about 1801, in 1807 he sold to Enoch 
 Hammond; Wm. Swan from Paris, in 1802; also his son 
 of the same name who came the same year; Jotham Per- 
 ham, of Paris, in 1808; James Nutting; Edward Lothrop; 
 Rowse Bisbee, from Sumner about 1808, erected a mill; Levi 
 Drew, Joshua Felt, 1810; Lemuel Perham and Lemuel Per- 
 ham, Jr. We have endeavored to mention the men who 
 were located within the township as permanent settlers up 
 to the time of the organization of the plantation in 1812, 
 further than this we shall be unable to trace the settlement 
 of the town. At this time there were lorty-two families liv- 
 ing in Number Three. 
 
12 WOODSTOCK 
 
 ORGANIZATION AND INCORPORATION 
 
 Number Three was organized a plantation for taxation 
 purposes on March 23rd, 1812, when the inhabitants met 
 at the home of Noah Curtis. Stephen Chase was chosen to 
 preside over the gathering, and Merrill Chase to keep its 
 records, as plantation clerk. The board of assessors chosen 
 consisted of Cornelius Perkins, Merrill Chase and Jotham 
 Perham. Christopher Bryant was made collector, with 
 Luther Briggs and Oliver Colburn his "sureties." This 
 board of officers was re-chosen the following year, except 
 the collector, who was underbidden by Cornelius Perkins, 
 The third year the same board served. As this was the last 
 year of the plantation government it is seen that it was 
 served by but one board of officers. 
 
 A meeting was held April 4th, 1814, "to see if the plan- 
 tation will petition the General Court for an act of incor- 
 poration." This petition met the approval of the Court, 
 and the act incorporating Number Three a town by the 
 name of Woodstock was approved by the Governor, Feb. 7, 
 1815. The first warrant was issued by Albion K. Parris, 
 of Paris, who seven years later was elected to thegovernor's 
 chair. The warrant was directed to Seth Curtis, a freehold 
 inhabitant. 
 
 The town meeting called lor the election of the first 
 board of town officers was holden at Noah Curtis' house on 
 March 20, following the passing of the act. Mr. Rowse 
 Bisbee was selected moderator and Stephen Chase clerk. 
 Cornelius Perkins, Alex Day, and John Billings composed 
 
HISTORICAL 13 
 
 the first board of selectmen, while John Gray, Jr., Richard 
 Green and Josiah Dudley were elected assessors. Seth Cur- 
 tis became treasurer, Luther Whitman, collector and con- 
 stable. Other necessary town officers were chosen, includ- 
 in<y tythingmen and school-committeemen. Thus we see 
 this town admitted among her sister towns as one of the 
 legal municipal bodies of the Commonwealth of Massachu- 
 setts. In the move for the separation of the District of 
 Maine and its establishment as an independent state we find 
 the new town very enthusiastic, in fact, the voice of the 
 people, shown by the forty votes cast on the question July 
 20, 1819, was unanimously in its favor. 
 
 Several minor changes have been made in the bounda- 
 ries of Woodstock since its incorporation. In 1825 John 
 Gray, Jr., and John Starbird, with their estates, were set 
 off from this town to Paris. In 1827 the estate of Daniel 
 Curtis was set off from the town of Paris and annexed to 
 Woodstock. In 1873 James Russ, with his estate, consist- 
 ing of one and one-half lots, was set off from Milton Plan- 
 tation to the town of Woodstock. In 1873 a larger acqui- 
 sition was made by the annexation of Hamlin's Gore to 
 this town; of this tract we shall treat in another connection. 
 In 1880 Caleb Fuller's estate was re-annexed to Paris. Su- 
 perior school privileges and close business relations with 
 Paris were the chief motives assigned.

 HAMLIN^S GORE 
 
 When the western half of this township was survej^ed in 
 1799, for the Trustees of Dnmmer Academy, a spotted line 
 marked by sable hunters was mistaken for the Bethel line 
 and was made, instead of the Bethel South line, to form 
 one side of the grant. When the mistake was discovered it 
 was found there was a strip of land lying between the two 
 grants which was included in neither. This was surveyed 
 by David Noyes, Esq., of Norway, and was found to con- 
 tain about 1,400 acres, bounded by Woodstock, Green- 
 wood, Bethel and Milton Plantation. This gore he divided 
 into thirteen lots, unequal in size, also including a large 
 part of North Alder River Pond at the southwest corner. 
 On the 26th of February, 1816, the Commonwealth of 
 Massachusetts deeded this land to Dr. Cyrus Hamlin of 
 Paris, for the sum of $600. Dr. Hamlin soon after sold an 
 undivided half of the land to John Daniels, of Paris. Steps 
 were made for its immediate settlement. 
 
 The first settler here was Jonathan T. Clifford, son of 
 Joseph, of Woodstock. He had previously erected a log 
 house on the shore of the pond, then known as "Clifford 
 Pond," but on April 2, 1816, he purchased a part of lot No. 
 9. He left the place prior to 1827. Two other early set- 
 tlers were Asa and Caleb B. Barrows, who took the tri- 
 angular shaped lot. No. ten, and erected two log houses 
 near the Greenwood line. Caleb, who was a son of Asa, 
 lived in his log house until about 1841 when he removed to 
 Linneus. He was a soldier of the War of 1812. Tilden 
 
HISTORICAL 15 
 
 Bartlett moved to the Gore quite early from Paris, purchas- 
 ing lots seven and eight. A few years later he sold his lands 
 to his brother Sylvanus, and removed across the line into 
 Bethel. John Buck, of Buckfield, bought lot No. 11 and occu- 
 pied it. Issac and his son Geo. W. Cummings came to lot No, 
 9, from Greenwood. Porter and Peter Kimball, sons of Peter, 
 of Bridgton, came to the Gore about 1815. Peter located on 
 lot No. 1, but Porter finally began a clearing just over the 
 Bethel line. Peter was probably the second actual settler 
 on the Gore. Later his brother, Jonathan, settled on No. 
 2. Josiah Moody, of Portland, settled lot No. 5. Other 
 lots were purchased but were not settled until some time 
 later. 
 
 Hamlin's Gore was first organized in 1826 when a board 
 of plantation officers was chosen at a meeting held at the 
 house of Peter Kimball. Regular plantation government 
 was maiutained until the Gore was annexed to Woodstock, 
 in 1873. An attempt was made in 1833 for its annexation 
 to this town but apparently no great effort was made for 
 its success. In 1847 a project was started byPhineas Frost 
 and others, of Bethel, for the incorporation of a new town 
 made up of the east part of Bethel, Milton Plantation and 
 the Gore, but the plan was stoutly opposed by the Gore and 
 was defeated. Under the plantation organization taxes 
 were comparatively low, a school district was maintained 
 and the roads were kept in tolerably good shape. The ob- 
 ject in its final annexation to a larger body was that a dis- 
 graceful, licensed liquor shop, kept by John B. Merrill, for- 
 merly a trader at Bryant's Pond, who had removed to the 
 
16 WOODSTOCK 
 
 Bailey farm in the Gore, should be abolished. Under the 
 protection of the licensing board of the plantation, of which 
 he was one, he sold large quantities of liquor which he pur- 
 chased of the State Liquor Agency. Other methods were 
 tried to force him out of the business but all were failures 
 until the last chance, that of annexing the plantation to 
 the temperance town of Woodstock was acted upon and 
 achieved. Soon after Merrill found his lucrative business 
 taken from him he removed from the town, owing the State 
 liquor agent quite a large sum, for which the inhabitants of 
 the Gore were held responsible and the collection of which 
 was enforced by legal process. By the annexation of the 
 Gore to the town of Woodstock we find No. 3 once again 
 united, with minor changes, as it was before the Academy 
 grants, the first survey for which, by an error, had caused 
 the separation of the Gore from the body of the town for 
 nearly three-quarters of a century.

 MANUFACTURING 
 
 The earliest saw-mill in town was built by Rowse Bisbee, 
 in 1808, on the brook near tbe Abel Bacon place; this he 
 sold to James Nutting-, in 1812, later it passed into the 
 hands of Capt Samuel Stephens, and was finally taken down 
 
 b2 
 
18 WOODSTOCK 
 
 in 1834 or 1835. Samuel H. Houghton built a saw-mill at 
 the foot of Bryant's Pond at an early date; this was oper- 
 ated by various parties for thirty or forty years, then al- 
 lowed to decay. Merrill Chase built the first mill and was 
 the first settler in Sigotch. Rowse Bisbee, about 1820, 
 built a saw-mill on the right hand side of the Rumford road, 
 at Pinhook, and afterwards built a grist mill at the foot of 
 Billings Hill. Other early mills were built on the streams in 
 town but the power was not generally sufficient to operate 
 them the year round. Most of these sites have been aban- 
 doned. Ziba Andrews built a mill in the south part of the 
 town about 1827, which site has been occupied ever since. 
 About 1840 a clover mill was built on the brook North of 
 Pinhook, and was operated by Horatio G. Russ. 
 
 About 1875 a spool factory was erected at Bryant's 
 Pond, the town contributing largely toward the erection of 
 the buildings. Other manufacturing industries have been 
 established, generally for the manufacture of lumber or 
 wooden articles; a corn canning factory is also successfully 
 operated here. 
 
 The general occupation of the citizens is the cultivation 
 of their rugged fields, but the soil is found to be fertile and 
 productive. 
 
 Stephens Mills, or Woodstock Cornier, was for several 
 years the business centre of the town. John R. Briggs be- 
 gan trading here about 1 824, at which time the first post- 
 office was established in Woodstock, and was kept by Mr. 
 Briggs until 1830 when he was succeeded by Eleazer Shaw. 
 Mr. Shaw was succeeded b}^ Welcome Kinsley in 1837, not 
 
HISTORICAL 19 
 
 long- after which, business haviog decliDed, the postofSce 
 was moved to Andrew's Mill, which was then becoming the 
 central place of business. Something of a village also 
 sprung up at North Woodstock, or Pinhook, where a post- 
 office was established in 1847, with John M. Gallison post- 
 master. 
 
 It was not until the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad 
 was extended through this town, in 1851, that Bryant's 
 Pond Village was brought into existance, but there very 
 soon sprung up around the railroad station a lively busi- 
 ness interest, and the neat though modest homes which 
 have been erected here now form a beautiful village commu- 
 nity which is both a pride and an honor to the town. A 
 postoffice was established here the same year the railroad 
 was completed. 
 
 MILITARY ACCOUNT 
 
 One familiar with the town of AVoodstock during the 
 period of its development, and who, from being a non- 
 resident, had no reason to be partial, has said "In propo- 
 tion to its population, no town in the County has developed 
 as many efficient military men as Woodstock, and this 
 town was indeed fortunate in the number and merit of its 
 JBeld officers." The breaking out of the War of 1812 cre- 
 ated much enthusiasm, and a company of Infantry was 
 
20 WOODSTOCK 
 
 organized April 11, 1812, with Jotham Perham, Captain; 
 Lemuel Perham, Jr., Lieutenant; and Edward Lothrop, En- 
 sign. In Sept. 1814, this Company was ordered to the de- 
 fense of Portland, which it was feared would suffer an at- 
 tack by the British. They served in Lieut. Wm. Rj^erson's 
 Regiment, and, besides the time occupied in traveling to 
 and from Portland, were in the service eleven days. The 
 Company was made up as follows: J. Perham, Captain; 
 Lemuel Perham, Jr., Lieut.; Alex Day, Samuel Bryant, Seth 
 Curtis and Josiah Dudley, Sergeants; Gideon Swan, Musi- 
 cian; and Christopher Bryant, Luther Briggs, Solomon Bry- 
 ant, Morton Curtis, Noah Curtis, Jr., Jno T. Clifford, Wm. 
 Cotton, Aaron Davis, Moses Dudley, Samuel Dunham, Con- 
 sider Fuller, Enoch Hammond, Wm. Swan, Amos Thurlow, 
 Otis Towuseud, David Rand, and Jacob Whitman, Privates. 
 Beside this company several citizens served in other com- 
 panies: Chas. Curtis, Joseph Cole, Daniel Dacy, Joshua 
 Young, Thayer Townsend, Christopher Bryant, Solomon 
 Bryant, Jr., John R. Briggs, and Thos. Farrar, as well as 
 several of Captain Perham's men served in Paris companies. 
 In all there were thirty-one that served during the autumn 
 at Portland, a list including a majority of the heads of 
 families of AVoodstock. Others who served in the forces 
 afterwards took up lots in this town or on the Gore. Of 
 these men Caleb B. Barrows, Geo. W. Cummings and Moses 
 Cummings, saw active service before the enemy at Shad- 
 ague and Plattsburg. 
 
 01 the training days succeeding the close of the War of 
 1812, up to the year 1845, when the law enforcing military 
 
HISTORICAL 21 
 
 drill was repealed, we can devote little space, but to the 
 citizens these were among the most enjoyable of the year, 
 filling the place, in a w^ay, of the modern town or county 
 fair. 
 
 The citizens of Woodstock were ever devoted to freedom 
 and good government, and bj' the large majority given Lin- 
 coln in 1860, substantially expressed their anti-slavery sen- 
 timents. When the call to arms sounded the following 
 spring, and at other calls, this town was found no less 
 patriotic than it had appeared at the voting booth. The

 vice from this town.

 RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. 
 
 BAPTISTS. 
 
 Soon after the settlement of this town the settlers turned 
 their attention to the formation of a religious organization. 
 But prior to the organization of any society devotional ser- 
 vices were held in private homes on the Sabbath day. The 
 first preaching services were held as early as 1802. Mr. 
 Chase records in his journal, under date of Sept. 4, 1802, 
 that he "went to meeting at Luther Whitman's." Elder 
 Tripp of Hebron was often the preacher but the names of 
 Mr. Low, Mr. Woodward, Mr. Chase, Elder Hooper and 
 others are also mentioned as early preachers or exhorters 
 on the occasion of public worship. 
 
 A branch of the Baptist church in Paris was organized 
 here some years after the first services were held. The 
 names of the first members were AVm. and Deborah Berry, 
 Jacob and Dorcas Whitman, Luther Whitman, Calvin Cole, 
 Christopher Bryant, Stephen Chase, Ephraim Drake, Lydia 
 and Tabitha Briggs, Bethiah Swan, Sally Bryant, and 
 Betsey Cole. Nineteen new members were soon after added 
 as the result of a revival. 
 
 For many years this was the only organized church in 
 Woodstock and enjoyed the support and attendance of most 
 of the families of the town. In 1828 this branch of the Paris 
 Church became an independent organization, The Paris 
 AND Woodstock church, and seems to have been generally 
 ministered to by Elder Jacob Whitman, a licensed local 
 
24 WOODSTOCK 
 
 preacher. Luther Perkins, who became the first ordained 
 pastor, in 1844, served the church for several years previous 
 to that time. Reuben Milner, Addison Abbott and C. Per- 
 kins were also settled over this society, and Rev. Z. Andrews, 
 a local preacher, filled the pulpit many years when it was 
 not otherwise filled. Other ministers here have been Revs. M. 
 Lawrence, R. B. Andrews, 0. Richardson, AVm. Beavins, H. 
 C. Estes, D. D., T. J. Lyons, and others. The meeting 
 house was located at Paris Harbor. 
 
 The Woodstock and Greenwood church was organized 
 in 1830, holding its meetings generally in the Bryant 
 neighborhood, in Greenwood, but sometimes in the Whitman 
 school-house in Woodstock. No church edifice was ever 
 erected by the society, which was disorganized in 1855, and 
 its members became members of the Bryant's Pond Baptist 
 Church organized that year. Reuben Milner was pastor 
 here in 1843 to 1845. Rev. David Ricker preached several 
 years and was formally ordained pastor in 1853 or 1854 
 serving until the disorganization, when he became pastor ol 
 the new society. 
 
 The Hamlin's Gore Baptist church was organized in 
 
 1827 and continued until this also merged into the Bryant's 
 Pond church upon its organization. The membership in 
 
 1828 was 35. Rev. Ransom Dunham was settled pastor in 
 1837, serving until 1844 during which time his faithful 
 labors were rewarded as is shown by the increase in mem- 
 bership which was nearly one hundred at the time he discon- 
 tinued his pastorate. Rev. Robert Goud was pastor at the 
 time of the disorganization. 
 
HISTORICAL 25 
 
 The Bryant's Pond Baptist church was organized in 
 1855-6, its membership being made up of the two societies 
 last mentioned, and some from the Paris and Woodstock 
 church. A convenient church edifice was erected at Bryant's 
 Pond and dedicated in 1856. Rev. David Ricker became the 
 first pastor in which position he has been succeeded by Revs. 
 M. Lawrence, Z. Morton, W. Beavins, T. J. Swett, A. Mor- 
 ton, J. C. Tucker, A. C. Herrick, T. G, Lyons, Seth Benson, 
 E. C. Goodwin, J. H. Littlefield, and H. A. Brown, the latter 
 in 1903. Rev. Seth Benson has been pastor at several differ- 
 ent periods, the last in 1898. 
 
 THE METHODISTS. 
 
 It was not until about 1814 that any religious move- 
 ment aside from that made by the Baptists was made in 
 town. The families of David Ricker and Noah Curtis were 
 the first followers of John Wesley to take up their abode 
 here. Soon others of this faith joined them, and near the 
 above date the first Methodist Class was formed by Rev. 
 John Adams. A society was later organized. Woodstock 
 has never been a charge by itself but has been connected with 
 Bethel, Rumford and Paris, In 1856 the Methodists and 
 Free Baptists erected a meeting house in the lower part of 
 the towu near Andrews Mills. Later the Free Baptists 
 erected a house of worship at West Paris and the Methodists 
 became the exclusive owners of the church in Woodstock. 
 The Methodists also had an interest in the church built 
 mostly by the Baptists at Bryant's Pond, this they occupied 
 one-fourth of the time. 
 
2G WOODSTOCK 
 
 A long list of preachers have filled the pulpit for this 
 denomination, chanties being made every year during the 
 early days of its activity. Of those who have preached here 
 during the last fifty-five years we would mention Revs. 
 Joseph Mooar, J. L. Frazier, A. Turner, Geo. Briggs, Levi 
 p:idredge, R. H. Ford, Mr. Fogg, J. Collins, E. Gerry, G. B. 
 Hannaford, A. H. VVitham, I. A. Bean, I. W. Smith, F. W. 
 Snell, A. K. Bryant, J. H. Rounds and E. F. Doughty. 
 
 UNIVERSALISTS. 
 
 The Woodstock Universalist Church was organized in 
 Feb. 1843, by Rev. D. T. Stevens. At that time a three days 
 meeting was held after which thirteen persons were baptized. 
 The society consisted of sixteen members, many of whom 
 were members of the Perham, Dudley, or Day families. A 
 church was erected at Bryant's Pond in 1852-3, being dedi- 
 cated Feb. 2, the latter year. This was the first church 
 erected in town, and the first one in Oxford County, north 
 of Norway, owned exclusively by this denomination. Vari- 
 ous preachers were employed here until 1867, when Rev. E. 
 W. Coffin became the first settled pastor. At this time a 
 parsonage was purchased by several of the members. Mr. 
 Coffin remained but a year, removing to Orange, Mass. 
 Rev. J. F. Simmons, then of Bethel, preached here in con- 
 nection with his Bethel charge. Rev. L. H. Tabor was set- 
 tled pastor here for a long period extending down to 1890, 
 and Rev. F. E. Wheeler was pastor in 1892 and 1893. The 
 pulpit is now vacant. 
 
 Besides the above named societies we find mention of a 
 
HISTORICAL 27 
 
 society of Free Baptists, organized in 1843, during the Mil- 
 lerite movement which doctrine at that time was being 
 preached in town, and which got quite a following until 
 after the date set for the coming of the end of this terres- 
 trial life. The membership soon decreased, however, and 
 within eighteen months the organized society became 
 extinct. A few styling themselves Second Advents are 
 found in town, the outgrowth of this movement, but by no 
 means of the same faith. 
 
 EDUCATION 
 
 Whether the early settlers of Woodstock were familiar 
 with the advantages offered by free public schools we are 
 unable to say, but one thing seems to be certain and that 
 is that they were not over-zealous in their establishment 
 and support in the new community. Mr. Lapham, in his 
 history of Woodstock, says "The neglect to raise money for 
 educational purposes can be accounted for only on the score 
 of poverty." The plantation had been organized two years 
 before any appropriation was made for schools. Sums must 
 be raised for necessary purposes, and it is apparent that, 
 to their minds at least, this was not one of the necessary 
 objects. There were around one hundred scholars in town 
 at the time the first school was opened in 1814 or 1815. 
 f 100 was voted for this purpose in the spring of 1814 and 
 the plantation was then divided into school districts by the 
 
28 WOODSTOCK 
 
 assessors so it is very probable that there were schools 
 established that year. At this time five districts were laid 
 out. Two years later another districting was made laying 
 out the same number of districts but with many changes. 
 In 1820 and again in 1822, the town was re-districted, the 
 latter year eight districts being formed. Frequent changes 
 were made later as the settlements increased in certain local- 
 ities, or decreased in others. Districts nine and ten were 
 later formed in territory which at this time had no inhabi- 
 tants. 
 
 In 1822 there were but three families in district number 
 four, all located at the head of Bryant's Pond, and it was 
 not until 1857 that a school house Avas erected in this dis- 
 trict. This is now the village district and its many scholars 
 are well provided with suitable school privileges at the suc- 
 cessful graded school and the regular free high school. 
 
 Whatever may have been the neglect or inattention of 
 the early voters in Woodstock to the subject of education 
 such is not the case to-day, the excellent work performed by 
 the many successful teachers who have been reared and edu- 
 cated in the public schools of Woodstock attests to the fact 
 that they have long been doing efficient work. The High 
 School held at Bryant's Pond, established about thirty 
 years ago, offers an opportunity to the young men and 
 women of the town, and surrounding towns, to follow 
 advanced studies without leaving their homes for the 
 purpose.

 Your Petitioners as in Duty Bound Shall Ever Pray. Janu-

 Samuel Buttekfield, 
 Alexander Payson, 
 Mark Hobbs and others. 
 The above petition seems to have been for Township 
 No. 6 which formed the southern half of the double town- 
 ship of Butterfield, now the towns of Hartford and Sumner. 
 We are unable to say what later petition was made but 
 both Numbers 6 and 7 were granted these petitioners not 
 long after. 
 
 The earliest meeting of the Proprietors was held May 1, 
 1788, at the house of Ebenezer Bancroft in Dunstable. Mr. 
 Bancroft was chosen proprietary clerk. Three agents were 
 then chosen to act in behalf of the proprietors, selection of 
 Mr. Bancroft, Samuel Butterfield and Peter Coburn being- 
 made, they being instructed to settle with those settlers 
 who were entitled to a hundred acres of laud in Butterfield 
 or No. 6 and No. 7, as formerly granted by the General 
 Court. Sept. 22, 1791, the proprietors voted to accept the 
 plan and report of this committee and to enter the same on 
 the proprietors' records. Allotments were by them made, 
 and recorded, to the following men who had already settled 
 in the township: "In the West town to James Keen, Heze- 
 kiah Stutson, John Briggs, Isaac Sturtivant, Beuj. Haild, 
 John Crokit, Moses Buck, Oliver Cummings, Jun'r, John 
 Bisbee, John Fletcher, Levi Crocket, Simeon Basset, John 
 Keen, Moses Bisbee, Joshua Ford, and Simeon Parlin." 
 
HISTORICAL 31 
 
 "In the East town to Asa Robinson, Wm. Heaford, Increase 
 Roberson, Mesbek Keen, Joseph Roberson, Wm. Tucker, 
 Isaac Bonney, John Bonney, Charles Bisbee, David Oldham, 
 Charles Ford, Elisha Bisbee, Noah Bosworth." 
 
 It will be seen from the above that ButterlBeld Town- 
 ship, which was composed of township No. 6 in the south 
 and township No. 7 in the north, was early divided into two 
 sections by a line running; north and south or at nearly 
 right angles to the old line. This was nearly parallel to the 
 general course of the river which was originally the dividing 
 line between Hartford and Sumner. These were then dis- 
 tinctively called the East Town and the West town, later, 
 East and W^est Butterfield plantations. 
 
 Several petitions were made to the General Court of 
 Massachusetts by the East and W^est townships. The first 
 petition was made by West Butterfield May 1, 1793 and 
 signed by Enoch Hall, Elisha Bisbee, John Keen, Moses 
 Buck, John Crocket, John Fletcher, Simon Parlin, Wm. 
 Tucker, Joshua Foard, Seth Allen, Jeames Keen, Meshach 
 Keen, Solomon Bisbee, Joseph Robinson, JudahKeen, Noah 
 Bozworth and Noah Bozworth, Jr. This was followed by 
 one from the settlers in the East plantation, dated Aug, 22, 
 of the same year. Both seem to have been rejected, as were 
 also a second petition from the West plantation, issued the 
 following December; a second from East Butterfield, dated 
 Dec. 21, 1795; a third petition from West Butterfield in 
 January, 1796, signed by twenty-nine tax payers; a fourth 
 petition dated Dec. 18, 1797, asking that the river be the 
 
32 SUMNER 
 
 dividing line; a petition for the incorporation of both plan- 
 tations as one town, dated Dec. 19, 1797; and a third peti- 
 tion from East Butterfield, April 7, 1798, with the river for 
 the dividing line. 
 
 The range line first adopted as the division between the 
 townships gave the Eastern township 8365 acres more than 
 its sister town. With the river the dividing line the differ- 
 ence in area was reduced to 4475 acres. Very soon after 
 the last mentioned petition was made a joint i)etition was 
 sent by the two plantations for their separate incorpora- 
 tion. This met the approval of the General Court, and both 
 towns, the Eastern taking the name of Hartlord, and the 
 Western the name of Sumner, were duly incorporated. 
 
 The "Proprietary" held its meetings in Dunstable as 
 late as 1804, bat the original book of records has been lost. 
 They employed Oliver Cummiugs, Jr., and others of the 
 early settlers, to build roads through the new plantation, 
 that they might open up their lots for sale, usually paying 
 for such labor by grants of land. In 1804 the proprietors 
 instructed their clerk to have all sales and allotments of 
 land in both towns recorded in the Cumberland Registry of 
 Deeds, which appears to be the last act of the Proprietary. 
 
HISTORICAL 33 
 
 SETTLEMENT 
 
 The first settlements were made within the bounds of 
 Butterfield plantation, under an act passed by the Massa- 
 chusetts Legislature, giving 100 acres of land to any who 
 should clear sixteen acres, back from the rivers or naviga- 
 ble waters, within four years. This offer continued until 
 1784, up to which time twenty-one settlers had taken up 
 claims in the old plantation, and began permenent im- 
 provements thereon; of these about thirteen were in the 
 East plantation and the remainder in the West. These men, 
 who were the real founders of these towns, were the follow- 
 ing: Simeon Barrett, Chas. Bisbee, Elisha Bisbee, Isaac 
 Bonney, Noah Bosworth, John Briggs, Moses Buck, John 
 Crockett, Oliver Cummings, Jr., Chas. Ford, Joshua Ford, 
 Benj. Heald, John Keen, Mpsbac Keen, Daniel Oldham, Sim- 
 eon Parlin, Increase Robinson, Joseph Robinson, Hezekiah 
 Stetson, Isaac Sturtevant, and William Tucker. Of these 
 men three became proprietors, viz., Benj. Heald, OliverCum- 
 mings and Increas-e Robinson. 
 
 Of the earliest Sumner settlers we learn the following 
 from Mr. Robinson's Historical Sketch, published in 1898. 
 
 Barney Jackson and wife were the first white couple that 
 spent the night in what is now the town of Sumner, but 
 they made no permanent settlement here. Michael Kinley 
 made the first clearing, but, he too, did not become a per- 
 manent resident. Noah Bosworth removed from Plympton, 
 Mass., with, his family, about 1782, and made the first per- 
 manent settlement in Sumner, on what is now the H. S. 
 
34 SUMNER 
 
 Palmer place. The second family was Daniel Oldham's 
 from Pembroke, Mass., who located on the place longknown 
 as the Russell farm. The third family was Charles Ford's, 
 from the same town, locating on the Thos. Stephens farm. 
 As to the fourth family it is not certain. 
 
 The fifth family was Wm. Hayford, locating on the A. 
 Pomeroy place; and the sixth. Increase Robinson's, both 
 coming- from Pembroke. Mr. Robinson located with his 
 family at- East Sumner in 1783, and erected a cabin. The 
 next season he built the first saw mill, and shortly after- 
 wards, built the first framed house in town. The next fam- 
 ily was Charles Bisbee's from Pembroke, coming in a sailing 
 vessel to Freeport, Me., in 1783. thence overland with all 
 his effects on the backs of two horses, the women taking 
 turns riding. They located on the Capt. Lewis Bisbee farm. 
 
 The first white male child born in Sumner was Charles 
 Ford, Jr., and the first white female child, Rebecca Robin- 
 son, who married Cyrus Thompson, of Hartford. The first 
 store was kept at Dea. Increase Robinson's, who also made 
 and sold cooper ware. The first blacksmith shop was 
 located near where Asa Robinson lives, and Asa Robinson 
 1st was the smith. The first practicing physician was 
 Micah Allen, who located near Jefferson Russell's present 
 home. 
 
 Of the social organizations and local improvements, the 
 Congregational church was formed in 1802, and the first 
 meeting house erected in 1819, on Sumner Hill. The firs-t 
 postoffice was established October 1, 1811, and kept by 
 Simeon Barrett, Esq. The mail route run through Sumner, 
 
HISTORICAL 35 
 
 from Buckfield, over Sumner Hill to Esq. Barretts, then 
 back by East Sumner and through Hartford to Canton, 
 trips bein^ made mostly on horseback. Another postofEce 
 was established at "Sumner Corner" (now East Sumner) in 
 1832, where Dr. Bethuel Cary was the first postmaster; and 
 oneat West Sumner in 1833, with Henry Howe, postmaster. 
 
 The town was first divided into school districts, in 1795, 
 when six districts were formed. 
 
 The followint^ list gives the names of the men who had 
 settled in town up to 1797. Those who had settled claims 
 prior to the j^rantino of Butterfield Plantation were ^iven 
 their full rights by the proprietors. Most of those who set- 
 tled under the proprietary were from Dunstable. Mass., or 
 vicinity.

 LOCAL INDUSTRIES 
 
 As in most of the towns of the Pine Tree State so it was 
 in Sumner that the first real commercial industry to which 
 the settlers gave their attention, was the manufacture of 
 lumber. It is true that most of the first arrivals felled the 
 stately trees which covered their lots and burned them on 
 the clearings in the interest of the crops which they should 
 raise on the ground so cleared. Others also spent much of 
 their time in pursuit of the deer, bear and other game which 
 inhabited the hitherto unbroken forest. 
 
 But the American mind is not long content unless en- 
 gaged in some enterprise which shall enrich the purpe, and 
 it is generally quick enough to grasp an opportunity. Soon 
 the immense wealth of the gigantic forest trees Ixcfime real- 
 ized, and the next step was toward means to convert it into 
 currency. 
 
 But prior to this, perhaps, was erected the first saw-mill 
 in town, by Dea. Increase Robinson, who moved to East 
 Sumner in 1783, from Pembroke, Mass. Soon after erect- 
 ing the mill he built the first framed house in town, this was 
 followed by erecting several similar houses, generally of the 
 type which withstands a century of time, remaining until 
 the present day, as monuments to the strong character and 
 sterling worth of these humble men. A saw-mill still occu- 
 pies the site of this original mill. A few years later a grist 
 mill was built near by, and operated for many years, the 
 remains of which were consumed by fire in 1871. 
 
 Soon other mills sprung up on the various water privil- 
 
HISTOEICAL 41 
 
 eges on the streams in town, and the manufacture of lumber 
 rapidly developed into the leading commercial industry. 
 
 Gradually, as improved machinery and modern methods 
 became introduced in the larger centres, many of the old- 
 time saw-mills, od the smaller streams, became hushed, 
 but in this town this industry yet remains one ol the most 
 important. Several mills are now in operation in different 
 parts of the town, including those now operated as the A. 
 J. Berry Estate, and b}^ E. I. Brown, at East Sumner; Geo. 
 H. Packard & Co., and E. W. Chandler, at West Sumner; 
 Redding Bros, and J, R, Skillings, at Redding, and one op- 
 erated by A. H. Curtis. 
 
 The strong, rugged nature of the landscape manifests 
 the same qualities in the character of the soil. Although 
 somewhat difficult of tillage, the hillside and narrow valleys 
 are found to respond liberally to properly directed efforts 
 at agriculture, while grazing and dairying also receive the 
 attention of many of the citizens. A corn-canning factory, 
 operated by the Minot Packing Company of Mechanic Falls, 
 is located at East Sumner, and offers a ready market for the 
 sweet corn crop which is raised for that purpose. 
 
 MILITARY MATTERS. 
 
 The long list of names of men who bore arms during the 
 struggle for American independence, attests to the loyalty 
 of the men who were the first to plant their homes in this 
 
42 SUMNER 
 
 township. Settled as they were soon after the close of the 
 great contest, the Butterfield townships, among many other 
 undeveloped regions, were sought by a class of men who had 
 helped to win national independence, and who now sought 
 personal freedom in the land which promised ample returns 
 for the hardships they must overcome. The following names 
 of men who fought in the Revolutionary war contain a 
 large number of the first families of Sumner.

 CHURCH HISTORY 
 
 Religious services w^ere held within the settlements as 
 early as enough families had congregated to employ a preach- 
 er, or to support public w^orship. The earliest meetings 
 
HISTOKICAL 45 
 
 were generally held in the spacious kitchen of some well-to- 
 do settler, or, during the warm season, in a barn or grove. 
 Later the first school house also served as a place for relig- 
 ious worship unless a meeting-house had already been 
 erected. Probably the first religious services were held at 
 the house of Dea. Increase Robinson. 
 
 The first meeting house built in Sumner was erected on 
 Sumner Hill in 1819, some of the timber from which is now 
 doing service in the Congregational church not far distant. 
 
 A. society was formed of the Congregational order, in 
 1802. Various supplies were employed until 1812, when 
 Rev. Samuel Sewall of Bath became a settled pastor, remain- 
 ing until 1845. In 1854, the old meeting house was taken 
 down and rebuilt near Parson Sewall's residence and is yet 
 in use by this society. The meeting house has been several 
 times remodeled and is now a comfortable and commodious 
 house of worship. Pastors for the last twent3'-five years 
 have been Revs. Gilman Rice, who was here several years, up 
 to 1886; C. T. Keene, 188G; D. S. Hibbard, 1887-94; P. E. 
 Miller, 1895-99; T. D. Davies, 1900-01; and Rev. L. W. 
 Muttart, 1902-05. 
 
 A Baptist society was formed very early in the century, 
 and settled the first minister in town. Elder Macomber was 
 granted the minister's lot of land, but this was later 
 returned to the town, and the proceeds from its sale became 
 a permanent fund, the interest of which is annually divided 
 among the several religious societies in town. Elder Joseph 
 Palmer was a faithful and successful pastor of this church 
 for many years, preaching also at various schoolhouses in 
 
46 SUMNER 
 
 town. On March 20, 1833, Elder Manassah Lawrence took 
 up his abode in Sumner, and continued in the faithful minis- 
 try of this church for a period of twenty five years. During 
 his ministry the membership of the society increased from 
 fifty-one to one hundred and thirty-three. 
 
 This denomination now has a society at East Sumner 
 and one at West Sumner. These have generally been minis- 
 tered to by the same pastor, but not always. Rev, A. A. 
 Smith was pastor in 1882; Rev. Robert Scott, in 1884-85; 
 Rev. Wm. Bevens (east), 1886-87; W. W. Cochrane (west), 
 1886; Rev. A. P. Wedge, 1889; S. D. Richardson preached 
 at both churches for several years; John E. Berrj^ (west), 
 1893-94; A. G. Murray (east), 1895-99; B. F. Turner, 
 1901-03; W. D. Athearn (east), 1904-05; W. H. Bishop 
 (west), 1904; E. 0. Taylor (west), 1905. 
 
 Various societies have sprung up in town, some remain- 
 ing permanent factors in the social and religious life of the 
 community while others flourished for a season after which 
 they became invisible. The only societies that have erected 
 church edifices are the Congregational, the Baptist, each of 
 which have two societies and two churches, and the Univer- 
 salist. 
 
 The first Sabbath school was organized in town about 
 1832, by Rev. Asa BuUard, of Boston. Each of the churches 
 now maintain a regular school, besides additional sessions. 
 
HISTORICAL 47 
 
 SCHOOL ITEMS 
 
 Although removed from their homes and the various 
 means of education and mental development, the early set- 
 tlers here were not unmindful of the needs of the succeeding 
 generation in the line of education. Schools were early es- 
 tablished and supported, either by individual contributions 
 or by the concerted action of the families in a neighbor- 
 hood. 
 
 In 1795 Butterfield plantation was divided into six 
 school districts, by a committe met at John Briggs', and 
 composed of Isaac Bonney, vSimeon Barrett, Wm. Hayford, 
 Jr., John Briggs and Ephriam Tinkham. Three years later, 
 soon after the incorporation of the town, f 100 was voted 
 for schools. There were then less than thirty voters to 
 meet this and other appropriations which must be made in 
 a new town. 
 
 As the number of families increased and gradually 
 pushed back into the unsettled lots, the number of school 
 districts became multiplied until seventeen were formed, 
 maintaining sixteen schools. These were operated for many 
 years under the district system, until that was succeeded by 
 the more equable town system. 
 
 Steady advances have been made both in the system 
 and efficiency of instructors employed in the schools of this 
 town, keeping well abreast of other rural communities in 
 offering suitable facilities for the education of her youth. 
 No high school is maintained, many of the young men and 
 women taking advanced work at Hebron, and other schools 
 and colleges. 
 
HISTORY OF BUCKFIELD 
 
 TOWNSHIP NUMBER FIVE 
 
 That section of the State of Maine now known as the 
 town of Ruckfield, but earlier designated as Number Five, 
 or Bncktown, comprises a variety of scenery and industry 
 which lends to it a charm and beauty found in few other lo- 
 calities of the State. Owing to its easy access from the And- 
 roscoggin, and from Number Four (Paris), settlements were 
 begun comparatively early. The first improvement ever 
 made within the present town was begun by Benjamin 
 Spaulding, during the summer of 1776, but it was not until 
 the following spring that Abijah Buck and Thomas Allen 
 moved with their families to this locality. 
 
 The first settlements w^ere probably made in this town 
 under the act passed by the Massachusetts Legislature, 
 giving 100 acres to any who would clear sixteen acres back 
 from the rivers or navigable waters within four years. This 
 offer continued until 1784, up to which date many veterans 
 of the Revolution had planted their homes within the wild- 
 erness, locating wherever they chose to erect their cabins 
 and clear the land. In 1785 the State employed John Jor- 
 dine to survey and lay out the present town of Buckfield, 
 which he designated as Number Five, and the southern 
 halves of Hartford and Sumner, which were called Number 
 
HISTORICAL 49 
 
 Six, Soon after the survey the settlers of Number Five pur- 
 chased this township of the Commonwealth of Massachu- 
 setts, the deed conveying" which bearing the date of Nov. 
 18, 1788. Greenleaf's survey of Maine gives 4,800 acres to 
 the settlers, and 20,033 acres to the proprietors. Abijah 
 Buck w^as agent for the proprietors in making the purchase; 
 which, together with the fact that he and his brothers were 
 large owners after the purchase, led to the adoption of the 
 name "Bucktown." 
 
 Following the close of the Revolution large numbers of 
 the men who had served in the American Army, and who 
 had been paid off in the nearly worthless Continental Cur- 
 rency, sought to make for themselves and their families 
 homes on the unappropriated lands, or in the sections 
 where home lots could be procured for a small pittance. Of 
 these men, enured to the hardships of army life, and filled 
 with pride of their achieved victory and freedom, many lo- 
 cated within Bucktown, and there entered into the new life 
 of the pioneer with an honest determination and zeal which 
 has won for them and their posterit}^ the undying gratitude 
 and success of a State and Nation. 
 
 After the purchase of the township by the settlers a 
 plantation organization was made which existed but a few 
 years before the incorporation as a town was sought. This 
 was granted in 1793, making Buckfield the eighty-first 
 town to receive incorporation in the District of Maine.

50 BUCKFIELD 
 
 EARLY SETTLEMENT. 
 
 From the fly-leaf of the earliest town record book we 
 learn that the first improvement known to have been made 
 within the present town of Buckfield by an "Englishman" 
 was made in 1776, by Beiij. Spauldinj>'. Mr. Spaulding was 
 one of the leading spirits in the early plantation and town, 
 being chosen to serve on the first Board of Selectmen, and 
 other offices. His family has remained in the oiticial and 
 business life of this town, and is now well represented. 
 
 The first men that came with their families and estab- 
 lished homes were Abijah Buck and Thomas Allen, who 
 came to this town April first, 1777, with their wives and 
 children. They were joined by Nathaniel Buck, a brother 
 to Abijah, who arrived with his family later in the month. 
 On the 80th of September, following, Molly Allen was born, 
 and Abijah Buck, Jr., was born March 1st, 1778, being the 
 first children born to white parents in Buckfield. The Bucks 
 settled near where the old cemetery is now located, one and 
 one-half miles from the village toward North Buckfield. 
 Thos. Allen was one of the leading men of the. town, serving 
 as Town Clerk for nian3^ years after its incorporation. 
 
 It is said that a settlement was made at Lowell's Cor- 
 ner, then called Hebron, nearly if not quite as early as the 
 above families located here. Thomas Lowel, or Lowell, and 
 others arrived here probably about the same time and es- 
 tablished what proved to be the principal settlement for 
 some years. This fact accounts for the names now applied 
 to the two elevations known as South Hill and North Hill, 
 
HISTORICAL 51 
 
 both of which are located in the southern part of the town, 
 but between which this settlement was made. Dominicns 
 Record, whose posterity is now quite numerous in town, 
 was perhaps the man to whom the people looked more than 
 to any other in public affairs. He was an early mill pro- 
 prietor, so far as we have learned he was the first to erect a 
 mill here. He filled many town offices and has been suc- 
 ceeded by others of his family. 
 
 Others of the most prominent men in the early town 
 were Lemuel Crooker, Wm. Harlow, Jonathan Roberds, 
 Ephraim Hathawa^^ Seba Smith, Wm. Doble, John Buck, 
 Philemon Parsons, Josiel Smith, (in the west district), To- 
 bias Ricker (north-east district), Enoch Hall, the first rep- 
 resentative sent from the town to the General Court; Sam- 
 uel Jenkins and Thomas Joscelyn, land and road surveyors; 
 Nathaniel Chase, the first settled minister, who came in 
 1781, an ancestor of Chase Bros., nurserymen of Roches- 
 ter, N. y.; Jacob Whitman, Job Prince, John Warren, Capt. 
 Mark Andrews, at whose house early town meetings were 
 held. Of those who settled school district Number 2, in the 
 south part of the town, on what is now the west road to 
 Mechanic Falls, were Daniel Packard and his brother, Job, 
 Jacob Whitman, Samuel Taylor, Jabez Churchill, John 
 Brock, Seth Bearce and others, all arriving in 1783. Benj. 
 Jordan, Nathaniel Leonard, Joseph Lothrop and Jesse 
 Turner, arrived in town the following year. These men 
 were all veterans from the war. Of the remaining families 
 that had located here up to 1795 we would mention the 
 following: Amos Brown, John Andrews, John Richardson, 
 
52 BUCKFIELD 
 
 Jonathan Philbrooks, Joel Foster, Tristram Warren, Caleb 
 Young, Joseph RoljertB, Joshua Wescott, James Jordan, 
 Simon and Jonathan Eeeord, Josiah Keen, Abiel Drake, 
 John Clay, David Farrow, Enoch Leathers, Moses Bisbee, 
 Gershom Davis, Thos. Lincoln, Wm. Berry, John Rider, 
 John Sweat, David Warren, Samuel Tobin, Wm. Churchill, 
 Abijah Lapham, Moses Stephens, Joseph Chase, Jonas Co- 
 burn, Israel Smith, Stephen Rider, James Bonney, James 
 Hodgdon, Eben Austin, Jeremiah Hodgdon and Daniel 
 Crocket. Sa-nuel Andrews was on the board of selectmen 
 in 179G, and Gershom Cole, Thos. Frazier, David Gammon, 
 Jonathan Damon, John Huzsey and Luther Gardner served 
 in various town offices the same year. Wm. Mahew, James 
 Waterman, Robert Elliott, Valentine Mathews, Edmund 
 Warren, Thos. Faunce, James Hussey, Daniel Merrill, An- 
 drew Twombly and Levi Cushman were here in 1797, also 
 John Brown and family, who were, at the time, a town 
 charge, Samuel Webb, Benj. Silley, Gershom Davis, 
 Stephen Drae, Geo. Ricker, and Consider Samson, are men- 
 tioned in 1798. 
 
 Additions seem to have come into the new settlement 
 faster than the proprietors or inhabitants desired, for we 
 find a vote taken May 1, 1798, recorded in the town annals, 
 directing David Warren, constable, to warn twenty-five 
 families and a widow, who had recently come to the town 
 for the purpose of locating here, "not having the town's 
 consent, to depart the limits thereof with their children and 
 others under their care within fifteen days." Among these 
 families we find some who became leading men in the towns 
 
HISTORICAL 53 
 
 farther back, including; Rouse Bisbee, later of Woodstock. 
 
 Daring these years many new families arrived annually, 
 new ambitions and enterprise took hold of the men, who 
 began to see the wealth of their possessions and the possi- 
 bility of their development; new industries were established, 
 making each central community practically independent of 
 the commercial world. Buckfield village early became a 
 trading center, being on a direct stage line. An early 
 hostlery had been established on the hill near the site of the 
 present Union Church, or town house. Other early Inns 
 were opened in town for the accommodation of the traveling 
 public. When, at the middle of the centur^^, the town be- 
 came the terminus of a railroad line, its standing as a com- 
 mercial center became augmented and its growth continued. 
 
 INCORPORATION 
 
 ACT OF INCORPORATION. 
 
 Act to incorporate the Plantation of Bucktown, or 
 Number Five, in the County of Cumberland, into a Town 
 by the name of Buckfield. 
 
 Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Represen- 
 tatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority 
 of the same, that the following described tract of land, viz.: 
 Beginning at the north-west corner of Hebron and running 
 south, twenty degrees east, on the northly line of said He- 
 
54 BUCKFIELB 
 
 bron, five miles and about one hundred and ninety rods, 
 until it strikes the west line of Turner; thence north twenty- 
 six decrees east by said line, five miles and about one hun- 
 dred rods, until it meets the south-east corner of Number 
 Six, or Butterfield; thence runniuf)^ south eig'hty-one degrees 
 west, eight miles and two hundred rods, to the east line of 
 Plantation Number Four; thence by said line running south 
 thirteen degrees east, to the first mentioned bound; together 
 with the inhabitants thereon, be and they hereby are, incor. 
 porated into a town by the name of BUCKFIELD, and the 
 said town is hereby invested with all the powers privileges 
 and immunities which other towns in this Commonwealth do 
 or may enjoy by law. 
 
 And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid 
 that Wm. Widgery, Esq., be and he hereby is, empowered 
 and requested to issue his warrant, directed to some suita- 
 ble inhabitant of the said Buckfield, requiring him to warn 
 the inhabitants thereof to meet at some convenient time 
 and place to choose all such officers as towns are by law re- 
 quired to choose, in the month of March or April. 
 
 The above act received the approval and signature of 
 the Governor, March 16, 1793. 
 
 The earliest town meeting held was called at the house 
 of Dominicus Record, who issued the warrant calling the 
 same. Mr. Record was chosen moderator of the meeting, 
 Thomas Allen, town clerk, and Lemuel Crooker, Wm. Har- 
 low and Jonathan Roberts, selectmen. Lemuel Crooker, 
 Jonathan Roberts and Ephraim Hathaway were then cho- 
 sen assessors after which the meeting was adjourned until 
 
HISTORICAL 55 
 
 two o'clock in the afternoon. At the afternoon session they 
 cast their votes for governor and other state officers, with 
 the following results: Samuel Adams, for Governor, received 
 31 votes; Moses Gill, for Lieutenant Gov., received 25 votes; 
 for Senator, Wm. Wid<2;ery, 17 votes; Josiah Thatcher and 
 David Mitchel, each 9 votes. Mr. Record was then chosen 
 Town Treasurer and Wm, Lowel, Collector; collection to be 
 at one shilling on the pound. Benj. Spaulding and Wm. 
 Doble were chosen Tythingraen. Road Surveyors were cho- 
 sen for each of the seven districts, and Abijah Buck, Eph- 
 raim Hathaway and Lemuel Crooker were made a com- 
 mittee to lay out roads; this committee was dissolved, how- 
 ever, before taking any action. 
 
 At an adjourned meeting Dominicus Record and Benj. 
 Spaulding were chosen to act as Selectmen and Assessors in 
 conjunction with those already chosen. At a meeting held 
 for raising money for various town purposes, £100 was 
 voted for roads and highways, £50 for schools, and a vote 
 was taken to build a pound 25 feet square. The following 
 is also recorded "Voted to postpone the building of Stocks." 
 
 A strong feeling for the separation of the District of 
 Maine from the Commonwealth was shown by the people of 
 Buckfield in the various votes cast on the question. In 1795 
 the vote record shows forty in favor and but eighteen 
 against; in 1819 the final and successful vote shows 119 to 
 11 in favor of the new State. Buckfield's first representa- 
 tive in the General Court was Enoch Hall who was chosen 
 to serve in 1807. 
 
 Buckfield Village Corporation adopted its Act of Incor- 
 
56 BUCKFIELD 
 
 poration March 8, 1890, and adopted its by-laws two days 
 later. Fred H. Atwood was chosen first corporation clerk; 
 C. H. Prince, treas., and Merritt Parsons, Alfred Cole and I. 
 W. Shaw, assessors. Its object in organizing- was to insure 
 to the village a continuous high school, and to provide a 
 suitable system for fire protection. A new system of water 
 works has recently been installed by the Buckfield Water 
 and Electric Light Co., and twenty hydrants have been 
 placed throughout the village. The water supply is brought 
 from North Pond, a distance of three miles and furnishes 
 an excellent supply for protection or consumption. The 
 ofiicers for 1905 are J. E. Warren, clerk; G. B. Spaulding, 
 treas., A. F. Warren, W. H. Conant, and W. C. Allen, asses- 
 sors; E. L. Phinney, A. Damon and J. E. Warren, fire war- 
 dens.

 INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT 
 
 Many different industries have been operated within the 
 town of Buckfield during- the last century and a quarter. 
 Where was erected the first mill in town we are unable to 
 say, Dominicus Record was an earl}' mill proprietor, per- 
 haps the earliest in town. We are told that Capt. Joseph 
 Parris owned the first saw mill at the village, the mill stand- 
 ing just back of the present grist mill. This passed into the 
 hands of Virgil D. Parris but is now entirely obliterated and 
 the old dam gone. The present grist mill occupied the site 
 of that owned by Benj. Heald, and which passed into the 
 hands of Washington Heald, his son. This was burned, 
 together with the carding machines of Nathan Atwood, who 
 had established a business in the chamber of the mill. The 
 
60 BUCKFIELD 
 
 grist mill was rebuilt at once. Not long after this Mr. Heald 
 sold out his milling interests at the village and went to 
 North Buckfield, where he built both a saw and a grist mill. 
 His sons, J. C. and B. F. Heald are now manufacturing 
 brush blocks, together with some custom sawing. The ear- 
 liest saw mill at North Buckfield seems to have been that 
 owned and operated by Leonard Spaulding; this has now 
 disappeared, The site below the bridge was occupied for a 
 number of years by Abel Spaulding who carried on quite 
 an extensive rifle manufactory. His rifles were a superior 
 article and greatly prized. 
 
 The first mill on the site of C. Worthington & Sons' 
 brush factory was a carding and fulling mill built by Wm. 
 Cole. The business was left to Addison, his son, who later 
 sold to Jason Farrar. Mr. Farrar run a shingle machine 
 together with the carding mill. These were burned, 
 but were rebuilt by the town's people. Nahum Moore 
 was the next owner. He leased the building to C. M. 
 Dacy for manufacturing shoes which he did for a few years 
 before removing to South Paris. It was also occupied for 
 making cider and vinegar by C. B. Atwood, and by K. C. 
 Atwood for the manufacture of blacking box holders and 
 skewers. The building was again left vacant until bought 
 by C. Worthington & Sons twenty-one years ago. This bus- 
 iness was begun here by Chas. Worthington about fifty 
 years ago when he removed from Portland to the old starch 
 factory in town. From 1864 to 1868 he carried on his bus- 
 iness at East Auburn and at Lewiston, but returned to 
 Buckfield establishing himself at the old shoe factory build- 
 
HISTORICAL 61 
 
 ing erected by the town on the site of the present Odd Fel- 
 lows' Block. This factory was burned and Mr. Worthing- 
 ton moved the brush business to the present site 21 years 
 ago. The business was again burned out in October, 1897, 
 immediately after which the present building was erected 
 and opened on the January following. This business was 
 incorporated in 1897, and is the largest in town. 
 
 On the mill site below the brush factory a saw mill and 
 starch factory were built in 1845-46 by Ephraim Atwood, 
 Levi Cushman and Lorenzo Atwood, The buildings were 
 later occupied for the manufacture of shovel handles which 
 business was carried on by different parties for about twenty 
 years. Chas. Forster then made tooth picks here, until he 
 sold to Irish & Donovan who made brush blocks, which bus- 
 iness is now carried on here by C. M. & H. A. Irish. Atwood 
 & Atwood's block making establishment was started by 
 Granville Harlow who also made tooth picks. Mr. Harlow 
 sold the business to Chas. Gile of whom E. M. Atwood and 
 Bert Allen bought it. Allen later sold his share to K. C. 
 Atwood. E. M. Atwood is manager. 
 
 The corn canning business was established here in 1881, 
 hy J. Wiuslow Jones who erected the buildings that year 
 and placed large contracts with the farmers. Upon his sub- 
 sequent failure in business this plant came into the hands of 
 the AYinslow Packing Company, Chas. P. Maddox, president. 
 In 1888 it was bought by the Portland Packing Company, 
 the present owners. It has been under the care of H, H. 
 Nulty, superintendent, since it was opened. The plant has 
 been greatlj^ enlarged, having a capacity now of 75,000 
 
62 BUCKFIELD 
 
 cans daily. 250 acres of corn is cultivated annually for 
 this market, most of which is raised in this town. 
 
 PROFESSIONAL MEN 
 
 Of the professional men, Dr. Wm. Bridpjham was prob- 
 ably the first educated physician. Dr. Wm. Comstock and 
 Dr. Cyrus Coolidge were successful early practitioners. Dr. 
 Wm. P. Bridgham, now living in his 90th j^ear, succeeded 
 his father. Dr. Drake, Dr. Bradbury, and Drs. C. B. Bridg- 
 ham, O. R. Hall, Cyrus Irish, Dr. Crosby, John DeCosta and 
 Dr. Blanchard have practiced here. Dr. J. C. Caldwell, who 
 has been here about 40 years, and Dr. Harry Heald are the 
 present physicians. 
 
 The earliest lawyer of whom we have learned was Sam- 
 uel F. Brown, whose influence and direction led the boys ol 
 the village school in setting out the stately trees which now 
 over-arch the village streets; Jacob Brown, S. C. Andrews, 
 Thos. J. Bridgham, public spirited men; Geo. D. Bisbee, now 
 of Rumford Falls; and O. H. Hersey, now of Portland have 
 practiced law here. Thomas S. Bridgham was admitted to 
 the bar before the Rebellion, practicing a short time at 
 Mechanic Falls before enlisting. He opened an office in 
 Buckfield in 1876 and has continued in successful practice. 
 Fred R. Dyer is a leading man in the community, and a 
 member of the bar.

 MILITARY 
 
 The militar}' history of Buckfield beg;iDS before the first 
 sound of the settler's axe broke the native stillness of the 
 forest. Many of the patriotic men of the mother state had 
 already faced the British g;uns and were yet to see several 
 years of hardship and fortitude before the}^ were able to 
 declare themselves free and independent of the tyranny of 
 Great Britain. But at the close of that war many had 
 become estranged from their native towns by the death of 
 loved ones, or by the loss of their entire property. They 
 were paid in the nearly worthless currency of the new nation 
 which was not sufficient to provide other homes, except such 
 as they might carve from the wilderness on the frontier. 
 Many in competent circumstances were also flocking to the 
 new fields which fact influenced some to venture back to the 
 settlements in the woods. We are told that no less than 36 
 veterans of this struggle are now resting in Buckfield soil, 
 while many others have been numbered with those who were 
 here before 1810. Many came during the years at the close 
 of the war. Ser. Daniel Packard and his wife, Betty, both 
 of whom served throughout the entire war, where Betty was 
 an army nurse; Job Packard, his brother; Jacob Whitman, 
 Samuel Taylor, Jabez Churchill, John Brock and Seth 
 Bearce, Jr., came in 1783; Benj. Jordan, Nathaniel Leonard, 
 Jesse Lothrop and Jesse Turner, in 1784, besides many 
 others who became the leading men and the fathers of many 
 honored citizens. 
 
 Nearly as many men from this town enlisted in the War 
 
64 BUCKFIELD 
 
 of 1812 as came from the Revolution, but space forbids us 
 to enumerate them here, or to mention the training days 
 which followed the closs of this war. Oscar Gardner is said 
 to have been the sole representative of Buekfield in the Mex- 
 ican "War. 
 
 We give below a list of the men who served to the credit 
 of this town in the Rebellion, as compiled from the reports 
 of the State Adjutant Geueral. The action of these men on 
 the field of battle was well worthy the trained and patriotic 
 blood which they inherited from the earlier generations.

 BUCKFIELD CHURCHES. 
 
 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 
 
 Elder James Potter visited the settlement as early as 
 1789, and Elder Snow, of Thomaston was also an early 
 preacher of the Baptist faith here. The First Baptist Church 
 was organized in 1791 at which time there were seventeen 
 members. No pastor was settled and no regular ])reacliing 
 was generally had until Elder Nathaniel Chase, who had 
 come from Windham in 1781, at the age of 21, and was con- 
 
66 BUCKFIELD 
 
 verted under the preaching of Elder Potter, began hi8 minis- 
 try. He was licensed to preach in 1796 and six years later 
 was ordained pastor of this church. Duriug his pastorate 
 of thirty-five years the church passed through a growth and 
 decline ending with the church having become much weak- 
 ened through loss of members. There were but twelve left in 
 1841, five years after Mr. Chase had removed his relations to 
 the Hebron church. The society disbanded in 1841, having 
 had an existence of fifty years many of which had been pros- 
 perous and influential. Job Prince, Stephen Benson and Job 
 Packard were leading men in the church. 
 
 SECOND BAE^TIST CHUKCH— WEST BUCKFIELD. 
 
 This society was organized July 14, 1802, as the result 
 of a strong religious awakening in the west part of the town. 
 The church was generally under the care of Elder Chase 
 until Elder George Kicker was ordained and installed pastor 
 Nov. 23, 1803. He remained until 1810 at which time some 
 disaffection arose in the church. This was followed by a per- 
 iod of decline until the winter of 1816-17 when a revival 
 again awakened a religious interest. Elder Chase was again 
 chosen to act generally as pastor, although not formally 
 settled. In 1822 Ephraim Harlow was licensed a local 
 preacher, and three years lat er was ordained at the Brock 
 school house. He served this church preaching also at var- 
 ious school houses for nearly 25 years, at the same time till- 
 ing his fields for his liv^ing. Trouble regarding Masonry 
 arose in 1829-30 and the church again became weakened 
 until revived in 1839 under Elder Butler. Elders Hutchin- 
 son and Hall are the last mentioned preachers, being herein 
 1848. The last records show 21 members in 1852, which 
 year completed a half century since organization and also 
 ends the records of the society. 
 
HISTORICAL 67 
 
 BUCKFIELD VILLAGE BAPTIST CHURCH. 
 
 For two years the town seems not to have had a relig- 
 ious organization. Buckfield village had, in 1850, become 
 quite a business centre, and the terminus ol the new Buck- 
 field Branch R. R. Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Hebron, and A. K. 
 P. Small held some services during the summer of 1851, 
 and in September Mr. Small closed his connection with 
 Hebron Academy and took up his residence here as a mission 
 preacher, and teacher in the village school. After many 
 discouragements he saw an interest awakened. He was 
 ordained an evangelist in Oct. 1853 and the following 
 December baptized his first convert. A branch of the Paris 
 church was then formed consisting of six members. The 
 church became organized as a separate body with 19 mem- 
 bers, Sept. 13, 1854, and a new church building erected, ded- 
 icated Nov. 29, 1855. Rev. Mr. Small having by his tireless 
 labors established a prosperous church, resigned the pasto- 
 rate in Aug. 1858, and was followed by Rev. Edward H. 
 Pray in December. Mr. Pray remained three years. The 
 next settled pastor was Rev. J. A. Baskwell, remaining from 
 Sept. 1862 for one year. In Feb. 1864 Rev. C. H. Carleton 
 became pastor filling the position for three and a half years. 
 Rev. Alonzo F. Benson followed him in 1868 for two and 
 one-half years. The next pastor was Rev. Harry Linsley 
 who was ordained and installed Nov. 1, 1871. The church 
 edifice was entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, 
 Oct. 27, 1872, with no insurance. The hall in the Buckfield 
 house, and Union Chapel were used for holding services until, 
 after much hard work, the new house was dedicated freefrom 
 debt, Jan. 13, 1874. Rev. Mr. Linsley, who had stood so 
 nobly by during the hour of trial now^ tendered his resigna- 
 tion preaching his farewell sermon Oct. 18, 1874. Rev. R. 
 G. Farley became pastor in 1875, remaining until June 
 1877. Succeeding pastors have been Revs. L. A. Freeman,

 1878-80; S. L. B. Chase, (supply) 1880-81, H. B. Marshall, 
 1881-82; J. M. Follett, 1883-87; J. H. Barrows, 1887-89; 
 B. F. Lawrence. 1890-96; Sumner Bangs, 1896-98; John H. 
 Whitson, 1898-1 900; B. F. Turner, 1900-1903 ; and Rev. W. 
 D. Athearn, the present pastor who began his pastorate 
 Nov, 22, 1903. A Parish Society was organized Jan. 25, 
 1890 to cooperate with the church society. The church now 
 numbers 74 members. 
 
 UNION MEETma HOUSE. 
 
 The old Union Meeting House which today stands on 
 the hill, towering above this peaceful village hamlet, was 
 erected in the year 1830, by a number of the residents, who 
 sold the edifice, completed, to pew holders of the different 
 denominations then represented among the people. These 
 were Baptists, Universalists, Congregationalists. Metho- 
 dists and Free Baptists. The house was occupied princi- 
 pally by the Baptists and Universalists for many years, 
 until the Baptists erected their first house. After this the 
 Union Church was occupied by the Universalists occasion- 
 ally, then was used as a public hall. The building had 
 passed into the hands of Lawyer Anderson and C. B. At- 
 wood, and later into the possession of Mr. Atwood by the 
 purchase of pew-rights. The old town house having become 
 unfit, it was decided advisable to fit up this old land-mark 
 into a town house a few years ago. The plan was aided by 
 the generosity of man^^ of Buckfield's sons both at home 
 and abroad, and this is now one of the best town halls in 
 the count3^ 
 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 
 
 The Methodist Episcopal church in Buckfield was found- 
 ed in the year 1878 soon after which the present church 
 edifice was erected at a cost oi |3,000. This edifice has been 
 thoroughly repaired the present year under pastor A. W. 
 
HISTORICAL 69 
 
 Pottle, at an outlay of |800. The followinnj pastors have 
 served the church:' 188 1 , S. T. Record; 1882, N. C. Clifford; 
 1888-8, J. iMoulton; 1886, J. P. Roberts; 1889-90, E. K. 
 Mabury; 1891, A. D. Graffani; 1892-93, Henry Crockett; 
 1894, G. B. Hannaford; 1895, F. W. Sadler; 1896-97, R. A. 
 Rich; 1898-99, G. Ji. Hannaford; 1900, E. L. Hooper; 1901- 
 02, C. H.'Munson; 1903-4, J. C. Prince; 1905, A. W. Pottle. 
 The present membership of the church is about twenty. 
 
 SCHOOL ITEMS 
 
 Schools were maintained here before the incorporation 
 of the town as is shown by the fact that the school house was 
 then staudinjy on the county road. An appropriation of 
 £50 was made as soon as the town government was estab- 
 lished, and a vote was made the same year for the abate- 
 ment of taxes, the same to be applied to the support of 
 schools. 
 
 At the second annual town meeting- a school committee 
 of eleven men was chosen, and Jonas Coburn, Abijah Buck 
 and Beuj. Spaulding were chosen "to look after the cultiva- 
 tion of the school lots." The following is a list of the men 
 chosen in each district in March, 1796, to look after the 
 schools: Ichabod Waterman, in the West District; Thomas 
 Lowel, South Hill; Benj. Spaulding, Middle Dist.; Thos. 
 Allen, N.-W. Dist.; Tobias Bicker, N.-E. Dist.; Joel Foster, 
 Second Middle Dist.; Enoch Hall, 7th Dist.; Luther Gardner, 
 Second N-W Dist.; and Amos Brown "for district he belongs 
 to." Two years later a vote was passed to erect four new 
 school houses in town, but before any active steps were 
 taken the vote was rescinded, the town contenting itself 
 with an appropriation of £60 for school support. This 
 shows the readiness with which the voters provided for ed- 
 
70 BUCKFIELD 
 
 ucation, and it is very probable that the houses were erect- 
 ed very soon after. The old village school, where many 
 honored sons and daughters of Buckfield received their first 
 training, is still standing, and is now used as a job shop by 
 Gilbert Tilton. 
 
 The town schools have continued to receive the in- 
 creased attention of the voters and community. New and 
 improved methods have been adopted from time to time as 
 they have been proven superior to existing methods. The 
 old district system was abolished in 1891 for the adoption 
 of a town system. There are now several rural schools be- 
 sides the graded village school. A high school has been in 
 successful operation for a quarter of a century, but not un- 
 til last year was any attempt to establish courses made. 
 There are now a Latin Scientific and an English course, 
 formed by the principal, L. G. Lord, who has remained with 
 the school the present year. This department has now 
 about twenty students. All the village schools are held in 
 the large brick school house, which was erected after the 
 burning of the other, in 1872. 
 
 A catalogue of "Buckfield High School and Lyceum," 
 dated May 15, 1841, has come to our attention. Although 
 then in the first year of its existence it was being attended 
 by a total of eighty-six men and women, many of whom 
 were already teachers. This Normal School had the strong- 
 est men of Buckfield behind it as is shown by the names of 
 the Board of Directors: Zadoc Long, Samuel F. Brown, 
 Wm. W. Comstock, Wm. Cole, and James Levett. The in- 
 stitution was under the direction of Rev. Cyril Pearle, pre- 
 ceptor, with J. C. Richardson and Miss Emeline Smith, in- 
 structors. It was well provided with a valuable library and 
 cabinet as well as scientific apparatus. Doubtless the work 
 done by this institution did much to place the schools of 
 this and surrounding towns, on a higher plane of education. 
 
HISTORICAL 71 
 
 ZADOC LONG FREE LIBRARY. 
 
 The beautiful new library building erected in 1902, by 
 Hon. John D. Long, to the memory of his father, is much 
 prized by the residents of this village. The building which 
 is neatly designed and well built, stands near the center of 
 the village, where it is within easy access to the greatest 
 number. It was erected by John Murch, of Paris, builder, 
 from plans by John Calvin Stevens. The books were fur- 
 nished by different members of the Long family: pictures 
 were given by Mrs. Stevens, wife of the architect; sons of 
 Thomas Chase gave the heating apparatus; and the lot on 
 which the building stands was presented by Mrs. Josephine 
 Cole Thomas. A Spanish gun captured from the Spanish 
 armed steamer "Santo Domingo," on July 12,1898, by the 
 U. S. Ship ''Eagle," decorates one corner of the reading 
 room, the gift of Mr. Long, while Secretary of the Navy. 
 There are now around 3000 volumes on the library shelves, 
 and in the hands of those who have learned to improve their 
 opportunities in their free use. Lizzie L. Allen is librarian. 
 
 PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY 
 
 Mountain GiiANGE, No 164, was organized at Buckfield 
 village, May 15, 1875. After a few years of activity it ceased 
 to hold its meetings, until re-organized with 25 members 
 June 17, 1901. Soon after the re-organization it was re- 
 moved to North Buckfield where a hall was erected in 1904

Census- 
 
 The population ol the Towns of Buekfiehl, Sumner 
 and Woodstock has been arranged in families where 
 that arrangement has been possible. In these families, in 
 addition to the resident living members, the names of the 
 non-resident members are included. It should be borne in 
 mind that this plan does not include the names of all former 
 residents of this town, as the names of the non-residents 
 appear only when one or both 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 ).

 viations and contractions, as follows: I^armer — far; car- 
 penter—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 (including all who have reached
