Location — Physicial Features.
Farniin^ton, the shire town of Franklin County. Maine, is situated in the Sandy River Valley, eighty miles north of Port- land, and the same distance west from Bango''. It is bounded on the north by New Vineyard and Strong, on the east by In- dustry and New Sharon, on the south by Chesterville, and on the west by Wilton and Temple. Its latitude is 44 degrees, 42 minutes, 30 seconds north ; and its longitude is 6 degrees, 55 minutes east of Washington. The average width of the town is about four and one-half miles and the extreme length is ten miles.
The natural features of Farmington are varied and extensive. Its surface is hilly though no extremely high elevations a'^c found within its borders. The Center Village is situated upon a nearly level portion of land and has an elevation of a lirtle more than four hundred feet (413) above sea level. The hills wdiich are found in different parts of the town are from l\\'o to three hundred feet above the position of the Center Village.
A very large part of the surface of Farmington is in a state of cultivation. It it is a most excellent agricultural town and it has been stated to the writer that this fact was so strongly im- pressed u])on the minds of the early comers that when the town was organized and a name was to be selected, Col. Ezekiel Por- ter suggested the present name on account of the tendency to-
6 ITISTORTCAL.
ward ag-riculture. When the town was first settled the forests claimed almost its entire area, all in fact save two small meadows the result of the beaver-dam.
The most noted natural feature of the town is the Sandy River which flows through the town diagonally from northwest to southeast. It takes its rise among the uplands where the Kennebec and the Androscoggin are divided and flows south- easterly through Letter E. Plantation and Madrid, Phillips, Avon. Strong, Farmington, New Sharon, Mercer and Starks. It empties into the Kennebec about fifteen miles east of the northwestern corner of the town of Farmington. It has several tributaries within the town of which we are writing. Draining as it does a mountainous region which is heavily clad during the winter months with snow and which is also subject to heavy falls of rain in the warmer portions of the year it often reaches great depths in short spaces of time, overflowing its banks and doing at times, much damage to property along its banks. Very serious have been these freshets along the Sandy River Valley.
We should not even in this short sketch of Farmington omit the mention of the beauty of the scenery of the town. Mr. But- ler, in his history of Farmington, makes the following reference to this feature : "No description of the physical features of Farmington would be complete without reference to the beau- ty of the scenery. The broad belts of green intervale, with here and there glimpses of the river winding and glistening like a silver thread, the hills above with the blue background of the distant mountains, Mt. Blue towering like a sentinel above them all, combine to form as fair a picture as New England can boast."

Early Explorations and Settlements. Traditions — Hunters and Trappers — Earliest Explorations — — Plymouth Patent — Reuben Colburn and His Associates — North's Survey — First Settlers — Scarcity of Food — First Mill — First lirid^^e — Tabular List of Settlments.
\Mien the first white man set foot upon the soil of Farming-- ton is unknown. W'c can be guided only by tradition in at- tempting- to reach a knowledge of this region prior to the time of the Revolutionary War. We do know that the first explor- ers found — at Messe Contee (Herring Place) or F'armington Falls — a small tribe of Indians supposed to be a branch of the Norridgewocks.
Tradition has it that the first white person to describe the re- gion of the Sandy River Valley was a young man who was tak- en captive by the Idians at Gorham on one of their raids. His name was Knights. He was severely treated in his captivity and concluded to risk the danger of death in an attempt to gain his freedom rather than endure the torture longer. He was successful and reached his own home at Gorham. It was a wonderful example of what a man who is guided by a strong determination, can do when his life hangs in the bal- lance. His glowing accounts of the beauty and fertility of the territory in which he had passed his captivity induced several of his acquaintances to explore the region.
We are informed that a certain New Hampshire lady was held prisoner by the Indians at the Falls ; that she gained her liberty and afterwards, when some of her people had set- tled at Farmington Flails, she came to visit them. On arriving at the place she learned by a peculiar spring from which she had been accustomed to draw water while with the Indians, that this was the place of her captivity while under the Nor-

ridgewocks. Whether these traditions can be relied upon or not is uncertain out that hunters and trappers came into this valley long- before any settlements were made is an established fact. Among the first to visit this region in this capacity were Thomas Wilson of Topsham and a Mr. Scott of W^inthrop. In 1776 a party attracted by the glowing acounts of the region by Wilson and Scott came into the valley to make a settlement. They came up the Kennebec to Hallowell thence on foot to Readfield Corner. They then proceeded in a west northwest course, guided by compass, confident that this course would lead them to Messa Contee. They however struck the river at a point near the vilage of New Sharon, and then pro- ceeded along the northern bank of the river for about five miles to the vicinity of the Tufts farm. Here they built a camp and began explorations. They located six lots which they divided among themselves, and then took their departure for Topsham, agreeing to return within a short space of time.
They returned about the last of June or the first of July and immediately began the work of clearing. Thus we see that the first trees were felled in the town of Farmington in 1776. Each man made a chopping on his lot and returned home. The first white men known to have spent a winter in the limits of the county of Franklin as at present known were Stewart Foster and Ephraim Allen two hunters who encamped at a point about two hundred rods above the Fairbanks bridge in the winter of 1779.
From the time above mentioned there was constant efi^ori being made to explore the region of the Sandy River. Several parties were taking up the lands and beginning to clear theni. But no permanent settlements were made until 1781 as will be mentioned later. With the coming of these explorers came the cjuestion of the ownership of the valuable lands in the Valley. After considerable discussion the reoion embracina" what is

now Farming-ton was found to lie within the limits of the Ply- mouth or Kennebec Patent which extended a distance of fifteen miles east and the same distance west of the Kennebec River and beginning near the town of Norridg-ewock extended down the river to Merrymeeting Bay.
On Deceml:)er 17,1777, an association was formed at Hallo- well which included the Topsham and Hallowell explorers and was knwn as a man of excellent business ciualifications. He Sandy River." It was later known as "Reuben Colburn and his Associates." Mr. Colburn was a resident of Pittston and was known as a man of excellent business qualifications. He also had had excellent military training being with Arnold in ins expedition to Quebec in 1775. From time to time efforts were made by this association to obtain a grant from the Ken- nebec Proprietors of a township on the Sandy River or in other words the present territory of Farmington. Finally, in 1780, l)y an arrangement between a committee representing the Ken- nebec Proprietors and a committee likewise representing "Reu- l)en Collntrn and his Associates" a survey was to be made of the region in question. Joseph North, Esq., of Pittston, was chosen to make the survey. He proceeded to the scene probab- ly sometime in March, 1780 and made the survey which was re- turned to the Clerk of the Kennebec Patentees.
This company concluded to admit all applicants for settlers lots with some, conditions wisely imposed. Those conditions were as follows : to build a house not less than seven feec square and seven feet in the stud : clear five acres of land with- in three years ; and actually live on the premises during three, or, in case of death of the settler, his heirs or some one under them complete the term of residence ; he or some one under him likewise to reside on the premises seven years longer, and work on the ministerial lot, or any house for the public wor- ship of God two days in each year for ten years when required
10 HISTORICAL.
Ly the committee of the proprietors or their agent ; they were to work two days in each year upon public roads until the town ship should be incorporated into a town ; and each settler w<";S to submit to the will of the majority, as expressed at any publ'c meeting called in pursuance to a code of by-laws which had been adopted.
Several parties had made settlements on some of the lots and they were not disturbed in the above division. Several meet- ings of Colburn and his associates and actions taken at the same are on record. The first meeting was held on October 15, 1783 at the house of Samuel Butterfield. Samuel Fjullen was chosen moderator ; Xehemiah Blodgett, clerk ; Peter Corbett, treasurer and Reuben Colburn and two others a committee to attend to the surveying of the town in the shortest possible time. The next meeting was held on May 12, 1785 at the sauie place. Other meetings came in due time and some action was taken to construct and maintain highways, an assessment of one pound being voted in March 1786 for this purpose. About 1790 a bitter controversy concerning the expenditures the Ken- nebec Patentees had made upon the territory it had held, arose when it was urged to relinquish its claim upon any part but it was obliged to cede the district in question which was the Sandy River Township. From the above one might be led to believe that the Colburn party was the only one attempting explorations and settlements in this territory, but such is not the case. It is almost certain that Hallowell parties besides the ones mentioned above were exploring with a view to settle- ment in the Sandy River \^alley, but who they were it is impos- sible to state as the names are not on record. While the Hal- lowell and Topsham parties were engaged in exploration and improvement, Stephen Titcomb and Robert Gower were stead- ily making improvements on the land upon which they had es- tablished themselves. Explorers Wilson, APDonnell, Alexand-

er and Henry sold and al)andoned their claims. The names of all those coming' on the scene next are not to be g-jven with ac- curacy, but it is definitely known that in 1780 a party from Damariscotta consisting of Francis Tufts and Jonathan Knowl- ton brothers-in-law, came into the valley. It is thought that the party included nenjamin Blackstone and William Black- stone who were brothers-in-law of Tufts and Knowlton. Some persons credit the report that Benjamin Weathern and Thomas Hiscock were of the party. Tufts settled on the southern lot selected by the Topsham party, which he purchased from a man named Knights. Knowlton went across the river for his location. ( )ther settlers came about as follows: Xehemiah Blodgett wdio settled on the (jower farm ; Samuel Bullen who settled on the lot known at one time as the Sase lot ; Joseph Brown who took up a lot not far from the village and William Gower who began a clearing on the Luther Gorden place. Thus we find the preperations made for the settlement of Farming- ton at the close of the year 1780.
All these settlers returned to their homes to await the com- ing of spring when they could return to their newly chosen field of labor. Stephen Titcomb, however, had erected a log- cabin and he returned to his home with the purpose of bringing his family to pass the winter in the new country, but he was overtaken on his journey towards the valley by a severe snow storm and his family was obliged to spend the winter in the town of Readfield. However Mr. Titcomb proceeded to the ob- jecti\^e point on snow-shoes leaving his family behind.
He remained on his selected lot near the Falls during the maple sugar season and secured a good supply of sugar for his family. When the snow had reduced in depth to a point to ad- mit the passage of a team Mr. Titcomb started for Readfield to bring his family to his new home : On his way to Readfield, he met Joseph Brown and Nathaniel Davis with their wives en-
12 HISTORICAL.
route for the Sandy River Township. Brown had previously made a beg^inning on lot No. i8, east side, but neither of these men had built shelters and were oblig-ed to occupy hunters camps. Uavis settled on the lot of which the Little Blue School grounds form a part. The summer of 1781 was one of great hardship and suffering, though it was the only period of a like nature in the settlement of Farmington.
Mr. Titcomb started from his former home with a large sup- ply of provisions, but he had been obliged to use the larger part of it to supply the wants of the family with which he stopped in Readfield. The bears destroyed his corn supply at the Falls and dug out of the ground the large quantity of smoked salmon he had buried. His vegetables were unharmed. The nearest supply of corn was Fort Weston, Augusta ; and the nearest mill for the grinding of the same was at Winthrop from which ]joint it had to be brought on foot or on horse back through the wilderness.
The other settlers were in worse straits than was Mr. Tit- comb and until the coming of the new crops of that season the settlers suffered for the want of sufBcient provisions.
This year witnessed the erection of the grist mill and a saw mill which meant much to the settlers in their forest homes. A bridge across the Wilson stream was also erected. As we have seen Nehmeiah Blbdgett and Jonathan Knowlton came to make a permanent home on the lots they had selected the year preceeding. The others to come this year were Samuel and James Butterfield and Peter Corbett.
At the beginning of 1782 we find the settlement on the Sandy River consisting of eight families — having a total number of thirty-nine persons. During the year the community was in- creased by twelve new settlers most of whom came with fami- lies. So far as we have been able to learn the settlers who came

History
Indians of Franklin.
TIic part of the Indian in Franklin is quite fully preserved in the records of Farmington. The Indians were not present in any great numbers at the time of the approach of the whites. But one of their number was so closely connected with the for- ntues of the early settlers that special mention is merited at this point. There are many traditions concerning this man and the more authentic of them we shall endeavor to give in the follow- ing lines. It is needless to say that the name of this party is Pierpole. He was first met by the settlers at Farmington Falls soon after the arrival at that point. It was supposed for many years that he was one of the X'orridgewock tribe, that he was a Penobscot was advanced by some. Others still maintan that he was an Androscoggin Indian ; and all things considered we are inclined to believe the latter. Certain papers in the posses- sion of the Maine Historical Society, according to Francis G. Butler, point most strongly to his having been a member of that tribe. In the papers mentioned Pierpole shows most inti- mate knowledge of the region about the lower Androscoggin, such a knowledge as could only be obtained by being an inhabi- tant of the district. Be his tribe relations what they may all accounts show him to have been a remarkable Indian. While at the first aproach of the whites nearly all the other Indians in this region fled, Pierpole remained and he was held in high es- teem by the settlers and had many dealings with them, acquit- ing himself with honor. Pierpole was a man of the kindest na- ture and deeply religious. Far to the contrary was the nature of his wife, Hannah Sussup, a daughter of the Norrige- wocks. She was high tempered, as was the nature of her tribe,
16 HISTORICAL.
very jealous r)f the whites, and in no way anxious to repress the hatred she bore for them. Air. Butler g-ives in his history the record of the marriage of one of Pierpoles daughters and the intention of marriage of the otlier as among the first records appearing upon the books.
Not long after the arrival of the settlers at the "Falls" Pier- pole moved to Strong and continued to reside there till he left this region for good. Here at this time he found "elbow room" as he undoubtedly desired and staid till the advent of the Ang- lo-Saxon drove him farther on.
Several traditions are preserved concerning him that are giv- en herewith. It is stated that after his removal to Strong he came all the way from his dwelling in Strong to Farmington in a terrible storm to obtain a physician for a white family in the town of Freeman, making the journey on snow-shoes. There is a tradition known to nearly all the older citizens of this county which states that he knew a place in Day Mountain where lead was to be had in large quantities but he failed to disclose the spot and it remains a secret to this day. He would start out from his dwelling at sunrise and at nightfall would return with an al)undant supply of lead. He made good use of it and many were the settlers who were assisted by Pierpole in obtaining their supply of game which was of so vital impor- tance to them. It is said the death of his youngest child, Han- nah Opplunskie,cast a great sorrow upon him and hastened the departure that he took near the close of the century. Deeply religous as he was he believed that this child on account of her having failed to be baptised, dwelt under the curse of God. Several efforts were made to have the service performed but failure attended each effort. On the death of the child as she breathed her last the Chief pointed his gun toward the sky and discharged it in accordance with the custom of his race. It is saitl that Pierpole cut off the hand of the little child to carry to
HISTORICAL. 17
the priest for the blessing' that slie herself had failed to receive. The grave of the chihl is said to be located in a burying'-ground above the I)a\i(l F. Hunter farm in the town of Strong. Pier- ])ole was a devout Catholic. It is stated that he made yearly trips to Canada to carry gifts to the priest and receive his bene- diction.
When Pierpole left tlie Sandy River Valley has been a mat- ter of controversy. Mr. lUitler states the facts within his knowledge concerning Pierpole's departure as follows: "The late Mr. hrancis Knowlton was very clear in his recollection on this point. He said he remembered as a boy standing on the bank of the river, Avhile the church at Farmington h'alls was being raised, and seeing Pierpole with his family come down the river in birch-bark canoes. They made a landing near the old Indian settlement, pitched a tent, stayed several days, then reembarked and without a word as to their destination, paddled clown the river beyond the sight and knowledge of man." The date of their departure is tixed at about 1799. This extra- ordinary man al:)Out whom so much speculation centers is des- cribed as a man of medium height and of athletic build. "His eye was black and glowing and his features were comely." He was fairly well acquainted with the English language, and a son Joseph Susup we are told learned to read and write from Supply P>elcher, Escp
Pierpole the man of mystery we lea\'e by saying he was a man far alcove his race, actuated by noble impidses and lived up to the highest instincts of his nature. Whence he came or whither he went are facts that the j^ast has failed to disclose.

Incor])oration.
Need of Town Regulations — Petition for Incorporation — Act of Incorporation- — First Town Meeting — Local Dissensions.
For thirteen years after the first settlement in Farmington there was no form of government. They did however meet upon special occasions to transact such business as the con- ditions made necessary such as providing crude schools and attending to the highways etc. In 1793 the question of form- ing a town government was taken up and discussed in all it.s phases. That it was necessary no one could deny. The popu lation had increased to about six hundred souls and the ]3.vd along the river had been all "taken up." Schools with better equipment were now necessary; highways and bridges had be- come necessities. But upon takir.g up the matter of Incor;:)ora- tion several differences arose as to the boundaries I0 be adopted in forming the town. At the cinie ihe Falls \" as t'~e trade center. The Hallo^vell trade in Famington had Tiie Falls as a point of departure. After much discussion on the subject a meeting was held and definite action was taken on April 23, T7C)3. Moses Starling was eh^cted ujodciator, and Solomon Adams Avas elected clerk. At this meeting it was voted to draft a petition to leave one mde and a half ')ff the upper end of the plantation : and be incorporated. After choos- ing a committee to draft the petitions the meeting was ad- journed. It was held at the house of Hartson Cony. On May 16 following, another meeting was called at the house of Sam- uel Butterfield. the action at the previous meeting not being satisfactory to some parties. Church Brainerd was elected Moderator. It was voted to petition the General Court of Massachusetts to have the town incorporated as it was sur-

Soon after this meet- ing there was a petition forwarded to the General Conrt pray- ing against the Incorporation on the grounds of the inconven- ience of attending the town affairs in an area so large and of so irregular shape. Ikit some of the petitioners changed their opinions evidently since they gave the agent authority to erase their names from the petition before he departed for ])Oston. The committee appointed to draft the jjetition to the General Court closed its labors on tlie 20th of May, 1793. Wc give the fidl text of the petition.

Whereas appHcation has been made to this Court bv a num- ber of the inhabitants of the plantation called Sandy River, in the county of Lincoln, to have said plantation with the in- habitants thereof, incorporated into a township and the same being considered of public utility.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the plantation called Sandy River in the county of Lin- coln bounded as follows, viz :
Beginning at a maple tree marked on the bank of Sandy River at the southeast corner of said plantation, thence running north eight miles and fifty-six rods to a beech tree marked, thence west five miles and two hundred rods to a basswood tree marked, thence south two miles, thence south thirteen de- grees east three miles, thence south twenty-five degrees east three miles, thence south thirty-five degrees east two miles one hundred and fourteen rods to a hemlock tree marked, thence north sixty-seven degrees east one mile one hundred and ninety rods, thence north forty-nine degrees east one mile and ninety rcxls to Sandy River, thence down saind rver about half a mile to the bound first mentioned, together with the inhabitants thereon and hereby are incorporated into a town by the name of h'arnn'ngton and vested with all the power and provileges and immunities, which towns in this Commonwealth do, or may by law enjoy.

And be it enacted that William "Reed, Esq., be, and hereby is empowered, to make out a warrant directing to some princi- pal inhabitant of said town to notify the inhabitants thereof riualified i)y law to vote in town affairs to assemble and meet at some suitable time and place in said town to choose all such town officers as towns are rec|uired by law to choose in the month of March or April annually.
This act passed the Senate before the arrival of the remon- strance of Mr. Sewall, mentioned in the report of the committee . wdiich we have given. It was returned as per above report and as it was in its original form, passed the House of Representa- tives, on January 28, 1794, and received the approval of the governor on the following February i.
The first town meeting was held on April 7th, 1794, at the house of Dr. Thomas Flint. At this meeting votes were cast for governor, lieutenant-governor, senator, county treasurer, and town officers. The town voted unanimously for Samuel Adams for governor ; and for Moses Gill for lieutenant-gover- nor, seventy votes being ca.st. Nathaniel Thwing of Woolwich received the unanimous vote of the town for county treasurer. Daniel Cony was elected senator. The seventeen officers which were to be elected according to the provisions of the warrant were as follows: Solomon Adams, moderator; Supply Belcher, clerk; Peter Corbett, Ezekiel Porter, and Enoch Craig, select- men and assessors; Moses Sterling, treasurer; Benj. Whittier, constable and collector; Samuel Sewall, Benjamin Weathern, Stephen Titcomb, Joshua Bullen, Robert Jones, Ebenezer Sweet, Moses Starling. Jotham Smith, Oliver Bailey, Ephriam Butterfield, surveyers of the highway. Benj. Butler, and Benj. Whittier, surveyers of lumber; Lemuel Perham and Samuel Butterfield, wardens; Moses Chandler and Church Brainerd, tithing-men; Capt. Elijah Butler and Reuben Lowell, sealers

of leather; Lieut. John Church, Peter Gay, Thos. Hiscock, and Solomon Adams, fence-viewers; Andrew Norton, Peter Gay, and Stephen I'itcomb, inspector of fisheries; Thos. Wendell and Reuben Piutterfield, field-drivers ; Elijah Norton and James Cowan, hoo^-reeves ; and Thos. Flint, pound-keeper.
About six weeks after the above meeting- another one was called which assembled on the 22nd of May, 1794. It was called to consider improvements of the town.
A considerable sum of money was voted for roads and bridges, schools, and town charges. It was voted to build a pound thirty feet square and seven feet high the same to be on the lot of Thos. Flint.
This town government now fairly under way continued to run smoothly for some time; but it was not destined to do so indefinitely. At this time national politics v^ere running at a high pitch and occasionally the echo of some of these great discussions and controversies was heard even in the newly constructed town of the Sandy River Valley. The Jay Treaty was at this early time being much discussed and then there was the subject of the Federal Tax assessed by Congress. But It was only occasionally that the national questions agitated to any considerable extent the minds of these hardy backwoods- men.
While it was no common thing for national politics to cause serious dissentions in town afi^airs there was always more or less local strife. F'rom the first there were two factions which strenuously opposed each other on all local matters. One of these factions was known as the Dunstable faction wdiich was made up of the portion of the population which came from Dunstable, Mass., and boasted Puritan blood, and honorable records for military service. The other faction was made up of Martha's Vineyard men who had borne the brunt of many
24 HISTORICAL.
a well foiig-ht naval contest. Both these factions claimed the right of precedence in matters political and social as well, and no sooner did the the time for a town meeting approach than did the two factions prepare for the contest, each striving to bring" into their own camp the honors and emoluments of of- fice. But the outsiders held the balance of power and usually carried off the larger part of the offices from year to year. Sometimes the victory rested with one faction and sometimes with the other. Gradually these dissentions which were car- ried into theological matters as well as the matters we have mentioned, grew less pronounced and finally the strife ceased, and as Mr. Butler says "In 1804 we find a Vineyard lion and a Dunstable lamb nibbling peacefully together at the public crib."
The times demanded something of the nature of controversy and when it was not the factional fight that we have mntioned above it was some other matter on which much duscussion and some dissention was sure to follow. Many were the questions and peculiar their nature which the public assemblies of the early years of this town were called upon to deliberate. But a community made up of men of such rugged constitutions and reverent minds, men so accustomed to the hardships and priva- tions of the early comer to the territory but recently called to the realms of civilization were sure to work out successfully all the problems presented. Trained in the school of necessity with originality for their instructor failure was a word un- known to the vocabulary of these noblemen of nature whose hands held equally well the reins of government and the axe of the pioneer.

CHAPTER IV.
Military Matters.
First Company — Ceoond Company — General Muster — Incident — Third Company — Cavalry Company — War of 1812-15 — Attitude of Governor Strong — Aroostook War.
Soon after the Incorporation in 1794 a company of militia was organized both for protection and pleasure. At this time each town was obliged to provide its own military equipment. However almost every town was glad of the opportunity to do this, for the advantages gained from the military training and the "General Muster" were of great value to these people in their secluded settlements. The first company in Farmington was formed on Dec. 9, 1795, and was attached to the First Regi- ment, Second Brigade, and Eighth Division of Massachusetts Militia in which division the western part of Maine was includ- ed at this time. Its first officers were as follows : Ezekiel Porter, captain; Samuel Smith, lieutenant; and William Allen, ensign.
The second company was organized May ist, 1798, and had for officers the following: Hartson Cony, captain; Jason Cony, lieutenant; and John Brown, ensign.
The town at different times in the year 1797 voted not far from $700 for the arming and equipment of the companies; but the following year the vote was recinded.
The First "General Muster" in Farmington was held in the Fall of 1799 on Merry's Intervale, West Side, just below Center Bridge. It does not appear that this occasion was an unquali- fied success, several misiyiderstandings serving to cause hard feeling among the different companies. One incident is given l)y a previous writer, (Air. U. Gould Butler j, which we quote in full. "Matters being finally arranged the colonel of the Regi-

ment gave the command to form column to the rig-ht. Capt. Davis of the New Vineyard company, being somewhat deaf. inquired of his orderly-sergeant, Jonathan Look, what the order was. 'Attention. Nevv^ Vineyard company: right about face, dismissed,' replied the waggish orderly. 'Attention. New Vineyard, right about face, dismissed/ repeated the captain in stentorian tones. So fully did the men appreciate the joke, it took a long time to form the line and much of the day's valu- able training was lost.
The third company of militia was organized May i, 1804 ^^""^^ had for its officers the following: Joseph Fairbanks, captain; Josiah Perham, lieutenant ; Silas Jr'erham. ensign. The three companies above mentioned were known as the North Com- pany, the South Company and the West Company.
In 1810 a company of Cavalry was organized. Its officers were the following: Jeremiah Stinchfield, captain ; Henry Stewart, first lieutenant; Edward Butler, second lieutenant; and Benj. M. Butler, cornet.
The War of 1812-15 was a very unpopular measure in New England. Caleb Strong was governor of Massachusetts, and was very bitter in his hostility to the war. His sentiments were in some measure held by the people of the entire state of Mass- achusetts and the other states east of New York, as well. It was only when it became absolutely necessary that he took any action at all looking toward the protection of the coast. No real military engagement worthy of note occurred that concerned the District of Maine, though the threatened de- struction of seaport towns made necessary the drafting into the service a large part of the militia. Orders were issued to the militia to hold itself in readiness to march at a moment's notice. However only one company was obliged to leave the bounds of the town of Farmington, this one being a detach-
HISTORICAL. 27
ment from Lieutenant Colonel Fairbank's reg^iment which was ordered to re])ort at Bath, and remained there a little over a month.
It is said that there were only two Farmington men wdio saw actual ser\ice in this war. They were David Bump and Elisha Jewett.
These military organizations were kept up for some years for they furnished opportunities for great gatherings at the times of the annual musters and the local "Trainings." The greatest military event in the history of Farmington occurred in 1827 when a brigade review was held here with General Nath. Russell in command. Governor Lincoln and his staff were in attendance and the occasion has come down to this day as one of the most important and interesting one of its nature in the history of the town.
THE AROOSTOOK WAR.
This brief but very threatening strain of the relations be- tween the tw^o great English speaking nations stirred this town in common with other towns of this State. The trouble which threatened for a time to assume very serious propor- tions was settled however by treaty and no blood was shed. The Governor of Maine was determined to protect the interests of the State even if no assistance could be obtained from the national government, and authorized a call for 10,000 men to be taken from the different militia companies in the State. By this order forty-five men of Farmington's infantry were ordered to hold themselves in readiness. However no one was obliged the town.

Churches.
First Church — Methodist — Free Will Baptist — Baptist— Uni- versalist — Congref^ationalist — Christian — Catholic — Uni- tarian.
In tracing the church history of Farmington we find that it consists largely in tracing the records of the different denomi- nations. This we do not contemplate doing in this brief ac- count, and shall make mention of the leading points in those records as they present themselves to the writer.
We find that the Methodist denomination was the first to be established in the town of Farmington. Its founder was the well known preacher, Rev. Jesse Lee, who came into Farming- ton first in 1793. He preached his first sermon at the residence of Moses Starling in West Farmington. He formed classes all through the District of Maine and the one at this town was the third of the large list to result from his labors. The first quarterly meeting in the State was held at Monmouth on June 23, 1795- Mr. Lee was the Presiding Elder. The first meeting house built in town was erected at the Falls in 1799. This only four years after the building of the first Methodist church in Maine, which was erected at Readfield in 1795, and is now standing. A brick meeting house was built by this denomina- tion on the west side in 183 1. Services were held here till the building of the church at the Center Village, the Center Meet- ing House, in 1849. ^^ ^^^^^ date the Methodist denomination in this town received new life and its membership grew rapidly and its advancement in every way was assured from this time. The next edifice was erected in 1877 and was dedicated on Oct. 3 [St of that year. This church was burned in 1886 and was re- built in 1887-8.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Baptist denomination bnilt its first clmrcli at I'arniinq'- ton in 1836. The first sermon by a preacher of this creed was delivered at the dwelling house of Moses Starling- in 1792 by Rev. C. Smith. From this time to about 1820 many dilTerent preachers of this denomination visited the new settlement and preached in dwelling houses, barns, and school houses. In the year 182 1 the Rev. Winthrop Morse began to labor with the church in Farmington. l^^rom this time on the rise of this branch of the Christian Church in this town was assured.

THE UNIVERSALIST CHURCH.
This brancli of the church was organized at Farmington in i8ti. It is stated that the first sermon of this creed was preached in the town of Farmington by Rev. Mr. Barnes. The date is not known, but it was at a very early time in the his- tory of the town. Rev. Mr. Root labored with the newly formed church for manv years. He was succeeded by William

A. Drew. Rev. Z. Thompson was a preacher of this society until 1833. About 1855 ^ Rev. Mr. Frost commenced a pastor- ate. He closed his work in 1855. Since his departure there has Seen no settled and the services have been irregular.
THE COXGREGATIOXAL CHURCH.
Though this was one of the latest to organize in this town the first sermon preached in Farmington was preached by a minister of this faith. Rev. Ezekiel Emmerson came to the house of Stephen Titcomlj in 1783 to baptise his child, the first born in h'armington, and preached a sermon at the residence of this early settler of the town. The church was formed in 1814. Mr. Isaac Rogers was the first minister ordained in the the church. This occurred in 1826. Mr. Rogers resigned in 1858, and died in 1872. The first meeting house of this Society was erected in 1836. Its pastors have been as follows :

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
At one time in the history of Farmington there was a society styling itself the Christian Church. Judge Parker says that it was formed principally of Free Will Baptists but all joined together to promote the Christian Fellowship of the particular locality in which they were located and having in view no thought of extending their organi.^ation to other regions. In 1835 Rev. Peter Young, of York, Me., became the pastor of this church. In 1838 the church chose Elder Jonathan Bradley -is

pastor, Mr. Young" having" died a sliorl time l)efore. Mr. IJrad- ley died in 1839 '^'""^^ the cluireh was destitute of a pastor till Elder Daniel Rogers took eharge of the pastorate in 1840. I'ne last pastor of the chureh was Rev. Henry h'rost. The church passed out of existence many years ago.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Mr. Butler says that one Donlevy was the first French Cana- dian to come to Farmington. He arrived not far from 1840 and his was for many years the only family of I'^ench descent in the town. With the coming of the railroad and other indti!;trial developments the numberof Canadians to locate in Farmington rapidly increased. They nearly all settled in the Center Vil- lage. In 1870 the population was about 100 persons and month- ly services were instituted by Father D. J. Halde of Waterville. In 1773 a church was built and was fully completed in 1884. ^i' the succeeding years the French population of Farmington has increased to large proportions and is rightly considered an ex- cellent element in the community, many of her iiest and most industrious citizens being in this contigent.
THE UNITARIAN CHURCH.
The Unitarian Church began its history in this town in 1830 upon a group of prominent citizens organizing themselves into a society of this creed. Regular services were instituted in 1833 and a room in the up])er part of the Academy building being fitted up for the worship of the society. Thomas Beede was the first pastor. In 1857 Rev. Thos. ^^'eston of a JMassa- chusetts town was made its pastor. He closed his work with the church in 1863. The Meeting house for the church was erected in 1873. After the close of Mr. Weston's work there

His connection Avith the cluircl-; lasted until 1872. During his pastorate the church grew rapidly in numbers and wealth and has continued in the years following to be one of the leading churches in the •■own. Rev. Timothy Eddowes succeeded Mr. Hayden. Rev. D. \'. P.owen was called to the Pastorate in 1874. Mr. C. Heizer was the next in charge, and he continued but a short time. ( )thers ])astors have been T. S. Thatcher, ^^^ H. Ramsey, J. A.

CHAPTER \'l.
Educational History.
Early Schools — Wages — Teachers — Eirst Schoolhouse — I'armington Academy — Normal School — Abbott P'amily School — May School — The \v illows. I-'armington as a town has long been famous for its schools
and educational workers. PVom the earliest times there has been a livel}' interest in the cause of education. The settlers in Parmington were for the most part educated people, judged by the standard of that day and were fully competent to in- struct their }'outh at the fireside till the ev'olution of the school system should provide public means for this work. Down through succeeding years tliere has been constant efifort on the part of her citizens to maintain that high standard of educa- tion which promotes tne highest welfare of the community and imparts a healthful influence upon the state and nation. This efifort has been ami)ly rewarded i)Oth 1)}' sending out into other fields and by drawing to herself many men and women wdio ,jave brought fame to themselves and to P'armington. Their
34 HISTORICAL.
names are as familiar to the people of other states as they arc- to ourselves.
In this snort sketch it will be the purpose of the writer to touch upon the leading- features in the development of the edu- cational system uoth public and private which has been built up in the town of Farmington in the one Inmdred and twenty- one years of her history.
We find that the early schools were not provided with any permanent home but each settler was expected to provide an apartment in his log; cabin in his turn for the temporary home of this school of the early comers. Knitting and sewing were a part of the regular course of study. Lemuel Perham is said to have been the first male teacher in this town. He taught during the winter of 1788 and 1789 in the log cabin owned and occupied by Robert Gower, situated on the Hiram Russ farm. There was at this time but one school district in the whole town. The equipment of these crude schools was very simple. The wages paid the teachers until about 1820 did not vary far from 75 cents a week for the female teachers and $12 to $15 a month for the male teachers, and they were expected to "Board Round" at that. The first framed schoolhouse in Farmington was erected in 1798 or 1799. Dr. Thomas D. Blake was the first to teach within its walls. During the last years of the 18th century much was done by the municipality to promote education. Liberal appropriations for those days were made. The town was divided into districts though we first find them numbered in 1812 when there were sixteen in all.
Many changes came with the separation from the mother state, Massachusetts. The number of districts increased till in the latter part of the last century they numbered over thirtv. After the separation the school books were changed, new methods and supervision were gradually introduced and the standard was continually raised.
HISTORICAL. 35
Aside from the excellent coiiiinon school system maintained by the town of Farming-ton, much attention has been given by her citizens, and is being given in no small degree now, to the ])romotion of the higher branches of education. Early in the lyth century the need of some institution devoted to the higher branches was signally felt; and concerted action was brought to bear to sui)])ly this need. The fruit of this effort is found in the organization, in 1807, of the time honored Farmington Academy. Its charter which was the twelfth to be granted to an academy in .vlaine w^as granted on I->bruary 13, of the year above mentioned. It was endowed by a grant from the pu1)lic lands to the value of about $1500.00. The first President of the Board of Trustees was A\'illiam Reed and the first Secretary was Xathan Cutler of this town. Church Brainerd was the first Treasurer. The Academy building was erected in 1808 on the grounds occupied at present by the State Normal School buildings.
The Academy was opened for instruction on January i. 1812. Rev. James Hall was the first Precepter. Many men who have become prominent in educational fields have served in the ca- pacity of preceptor of this institution, and if it were not forlack of space we could give the name, dates of service, and interest- ing accounts of each of them.
After a long and ^•ery useful ])eriod of work in which much was done to promote the cause of higher education in the State of Maine, the Trustees of the Academy voted, on June 3, 1863, to tender all the property of the institution to the State to be used in establishing" a State Normal School. The State au- thorities qualified to consider the proposal accepted the gram and assumed the debt of the academy. Thus we see the identity of the old and useful academy was lost in the new and progres- sive Normal Schocjl. Towarrl the close of the present sumiuei a reunion of the students and patrons of the old acidcmy was

held at Farming-ton and was much enjoyed l)y the participani i^. The State Normal School was opened on Aug. 24, 1864. T'tc first principal was A. P. Kelsey, A. M. The principals have served in the following order: Geo. M. Gage, Mr. C. ('. Rounds, and the present principal, Mr. Geo. C. Puring'on, who has been in charge since 1883. During the years since 1864 the Farmington Normal School has become one of the leading schools of the State of Maine. Her present prtncipU. Mr. Purington, has done a great deal in building up the iustir;- tion. He has ever been a strong advocate of improvepu-nt- and his influence has l)een a strong factor in bringing to .he institution its excellent new buildnigs, its equipment, anil la-,',e attendance with which it has been favored in the past few years. The work of the Hon. Jos. W. Fairban^ s, the resident member of the State Board of Trustees, sin Mil. 1 un be n\er- looked. Fie has labored faithfully and successfulK in the fur- thering of the interests of this school as \veil <is tliat (u" others of the State. He is a firm friend of every lioneM cfi'oit to fur- ther the interests of education.
The May School.
Misses Julia H. May and Sara R. May opened a school in Farmington in March t868 which has become widely knowi^ as the May School for Girls. After a temporary home in a room provided by a Mr. Stewart it was the recipient of a good schoolbuildiing on School street in 1870 the gift of T. F. Belcher and F. G. Butler. Advanced courses of study were provided and until the opening of the Free High school it en- joyed a liberal patronage. Many of its patrons have attended other schools and colleges and have carried far and wide the honored name of the Aiay School. In the 8o's the school was removed to Strong where it continued to receive many stu- dents till its discontinuance.

The Willows.
The Willows, a boarding school for girls, was establislied 1870 at Farming-ton by Miss Lucy G. Belcher. It began auspiciously and in 1871 a fine building was built for the school. The school was closed in 1875 in which year a class of eight girls was graduated. The building has been only par- tially occupied since this time, chiefly as a hotel.
Abbott Family School.
One of the most picturesque spots within the town of Farm- ington so well known for its beautiful scenes is the grounds of Little Blue an educational institution founded by the Rev. Samuel P. Abbott.
It was selected by Mr. Jacob Abbott in 1841 for a family seat. He occupied it for three years and to it he gave the name of Little Blue from a "resemblance of one of its minature mounains to Mt. Blue." At the end of three years his wife died and he removed to New York. The estate then passed into the hands of his brother, the Rev. Samuel P. Abbott as above stated. The latter opened a school for boys in 1844 ana continued to conduct it with success till his death in 1849. ^^''• A. H. Abbott then purchased the estate and carried on the work of improving both the school and its grounds. The beauty of the place is too well known to need any account at the hands of the writer. I^Tora time to time buildings were erected till it became a school of sufficient proportions to admit a large number of students. Its apparatus purchased at dif- ferent times was very good and its value amounted to several thousand dollars. Students came from every part of the United States and some came from foreign countries. Mr. A])bott leased in 1865 the school to Mr. E. P. Weston who con- ducted it successfully till 1869 when Mr. A. J. Blethen assumed
38 HISTORICAL.
control. Air. T'lctlien remained in charge till 1874. At this time Mr. A. P. Kelsey took charg-e of the institution and con- tinued in that capacity till 1876 when it again passed into the hands of Mr. Abbott. It met with a great mishap in 1900 when the principal building was destroyed by fire. This present summer (1902) it is being rebuilt. The grounds are being sub- jected to many changes and are being much improved. Mr. Geo. D. Church has been selected to conduct the school in it*^ new home and it is earnestly hoped that he will meet with suc- cess in promoting the welfare of this institution so well knovvi' in all parts of this country for its excellent work.
x\fter several attempts the town succeeded in establishing a Free High School which has since its founding in 1877 become one of the best high schools in the State.
Much commendation is due the progressive people of Farm- ington for their constant effort toward the promotion of the in- terests o feducation within and without its borders. This de- votion to one of the great principles of our institutions has made Farmington famous and endeared it to the many hearts that have thrilled at the sight of its natural beauties and now fondly cherish its pleasant memories.

Very severe depression followed the close of the War of 1812. Prices were high, taxes were also heavy and the re- sources upon which the people of the town of Farmington
HISTORICAL. 39
could draw at this time were very limited. Business was al- most at a standstill. During- the year 1815 the states of New- England and perhaps the whole country saw as backward a period as is knoAvn in our history. The year 18 16 was scarcely any better. This year it is stated that there was a frost every month of the year thus making the raising of good crops an impossibility. The winter set in on October 7th when a heavy snow storm fell. The spirits of the population were at n very low ebb and owing to the unfavorable conditions of this season and the following spring many of the inhabitants began to turn toward more promising sections for settlement. For about five years following 1817 there existed what is knov.'n to history as the period of the Ohio Fever. During this tiaie there was a constant outpour of emigrants from Maine into the V^aLe}' of the Ohio. But this town did not feel so scerely this strain as did some of the smaller town about her. Yet there were several of the enterprising farmers who sold their property here and joined the hordes that were flocking to the "West."
We should not omit the mention of the "Cold Fever," a malady which was new to the State at this time and which was very fatal as well. The year 18 14 was the date of its preva- lence in this State and so far as is known no person attacked by it recovered. The best physicians were powerless to stop it and several of h^armington's prominent citizens were num- bered among its victims.
Soon after the termination of the War of 1812-15 the agita- tion of the separation of the District of Maine from Massa- chusetts was begun. The General Court of the mother state passed a resolve on the 17th of February 1816 which provided for town-meetings to vote on the matter on the following 20th of May. Farmington voted in favor of the separation as did the State. The vote in the whole district stood as follows:
40 niSTORTCAL.
T 0,393 in favor of se])aration and 6,501 opposed, out of the total letral vote of the State which numbered 37,828. Another vote was authorized and a convention which was to meet in Bruns- vv^ick was provided to count the votes which were cast on the question in September. 1liis time it was found that there was a majority of only a little over a thousand votes in favor in- stead of the necessary hve to four.
The matter was discussed with considerable fervor from this time on and in 1819 another effort was made to obtain a separation. This time success rewarded the efifort. On July 24 of this year a vote was taken which showed that a larg-e majority of the j^eople of the District were favorable to separa- tion. A convention was called to meet at Portland to frame a constitution. It met on the second Monday in October 1819 and framed the Constitution, and the State was admitted on the following- Alarch 15, 1820. Nathan Cutler and Jabez Gay were harmington's representatives in the Constitutional Con- vention.
In 1820 the Sandy River "V^alley was visited by a very severe freshet. The loss was very heavy, many mills being washed away and much other property destroyed.
It was during this period that the question of temperance began to be agitated in this region. In 1828 the movement had become quite general and Farmington began to feel the need of some action upon the matter. A total abstinence or- ganization was formed at Fairbanks Mills on January 2, 1829, which kept up its organization till about 1839 when it gave place to Washinigtonian movement. The influence of this so- ciety was signally felt in the community.
The year 183 1 marke the appearance of Farmington's first newspaper, the Sandy River Yeoman which was published by Wm. A. Dunn. It was published only one year, though it is said to have been a very creditable sheet.
TITSTORTCAL. 41
Tlie most important event of the decade from 1830 to 1840 is the org-anization of the county of l-Vanklin which was accom- ])h'slied in 1838.
r)rQ-anization of the County of Franklin.
Tlic present county of Franklin embraces territory which was at one time a part of Lincoln county. It was later a part of Kennebec county and in 1838 it was organized as a separate county under its present name. Farmington was one of the seventeen towns included in its territory. We give herewith an account of the formation of the new county. The date of the entrance of Franklin into the family of counties in Maine was jVlay 10. 1838. For many years this result had been sought after not only by the people of Farmington and others in the southern part of the county as it now stands, but by people in every part of its territory. It had been a bone of contention nearly ever since the separation from Massachusetts in 1820. The first mention of any concerted effort being put forth by the people of the county to bring about the desired result comes to our notice with the date 1832. On the 12th of July uf that year a convention was called to consider the advisabil- ity of petitioning the Legislature for a division of Kennebec. Theodore Marst of Phillips was chosen Chairman of the meet- ing and Nathan Cutler was made Secretary. A previous writer says that no special result came from this meeting. Dr. Josiah Prescott was Farmington's member of the Legislature in the winter of 1838 and Hiram Belcher was also a member of the Senate. Dr. Prescott made an especial effort to have the mat- ter carried to a successful issue, and was ably seconded by Mr. Cutler. There was strong opposition from the counties which were to lose territory by the change and strange as it may seem there was some opposition from some people in the county itself, but the bill for the creation of the county of Franklin was passed on the 20th of March, 1838, and was
42 HISTORICAL.
sif^ned by the Governor the same clay. The bill provided how- ever that there should be a special election on the matter. These meetings were to be called in the month of April 1838. When the votes had been returned to the Secretary of State's office it was found that a majority of the people had voted for the division. The other towns included in the newly organized county were as follows : New Vineyard, Strong, Kingfield, Freeman, Phillips, Industry, Wilton, Chesterville, Jay. Temple, New Sharon, Salem, Weld, Avon, Carthage, Madrid and Ber- lin.

Railroads.

For several years after the settlement of the town there were no regular mail facilities. The first mail route was established in 1793 and Zacheus May hew carried the mail once a week be- tween Farmington and Flallowell. Moses Starliing was the first Postmaster. He resided on the west side.
The first regular stage line fitted for the conveyance of pas- sengers was driven b}- Nathan Backus beginning in about 1808. He continued to own and drive this line till about 1815 when it passed into the hands of other parties. Later on after the rapid growth of Farmington required better conveyances and closer communication with the larger towns and cities im- provements were made and the line was extended to Phillips. So far as the writer has been able to learn this was done about
HTSTORTCAL. 43
t82<S. The sta_^"e line to Hallowell continued to be operated successfully till the advance of the railroad crowded it out. The first daily stage with which Farming-ton was favored was n])ened in 1851 when the railroad was extended to Livermore. hVom this time on the stage line to Hallowell became of little use to the people of Farming-ton, and it was discontinued in 1878.
The coming- of the iron road in 1859 marked the coming of a new era in the history of h^armington and a brief account nec- essarily limited in this short story of the past of this town, is g-iven herew^ith. which will review the history of the etTorts made to bring the steam propelled steed into this town.
The first effort put forth by the people of this town to obtain a railroad dates to April i, 1845. when an enthusiastic meeting- was held at the court-house, Farmington, and resolutions adopted and a committee chosen for the purpose of inducing the Grand Trunk, or Atlantic & St. Lawrence Railroad Com- pany as it was then known, to lay its proposed line from the coast to Quebec through Farmingtn. After some efforts to present the plan to that corporation the project fell through as it was learned that the route through New Hampshire had been selected.
The next attempt was to obtain permission to build a road from Farmington to the vicinity of Augusta. This project took on definite proportions in 1847 when a mass meeting was held at The Lenter V^illage on the twentieth of January to take proper steps to bring it to a successful issue. The Legislature of 1847, after considerable consideration of the proposed road passed an act incorporating the Franklin & Kennebec Railroad Company as this road -was to be known. Officers of the corporation were chosen within the year and some money was expended in surveying the proposed route. Subscriptions were received to the amount of about $40,000,
44 HISTORICAL.
from the citizens of Farniin^ton ; but the enterprise gave way to the Androscoggin Road wliicli finally reached this town and is now known as the "L^p])er Route" of the ^Nlaine Central Railroad.
A mass meeting was held at Farmington on the first of January, 185 1, and Francis G. Butler was chosen chairman and Alanson B. Caswell was chosen secretary. Many stirring ad- dresses were made by gentlemen from other towns as well as Farmington and a committee was appointed to confer with the directors of the Androscoggin road. This committee con- sisted of the following :Samuel Belcher, Leander Boardman, Phillip M. Stubbs, Harrison Storer, John Rowell, John E. Bax- ter, and David Mitchell. After much delay the road finally reached West Farmington, June 20, 1859.
But this was unsatisfactory to the people of the Center Vil- lage. The citizens of this village had contributed very liberally to bring the road to F'armington and considered this failure to meet their expectations a strong grievance and set about to find means to extend the line to the other side of the Sandy River. After much negotiation the project met with success and the first train of cars reached the Center Village on Sept. 15, 1870. x^side from several legal complications which have occurred with regard to the bonds issued by the V illage Cor- poration this ends the history of the coming of the Railroad to Farmington. What its coming means to this prosperous town of southern Franklin cannot be overestimated for it not only opened connection with the outside world, the large cities and trade centers, but paved the way for the coming of the narrow guage railroad which now reaches from Farmington to the upper portions of the county beginning with the con- struction of the Sandy River Railroad in 1879. This line was at the time of its construction the second one of so narrow guage in the world, the other being operated in Wales.

CHAPTER IX.
A Record from 1850 to the War of the RebelHon.
iMre of 1850 — Villag-e Charter — Sandy River Bank — Freshet of 1855 — Riverside Cemetery — Franklin Patriot — Fire of 1859 — New \'illag-c Charter.
In 1850 a very disastrous fire took place at the Center Vil- lage. The fire was discovered a little past midnight of Au- gust 7th. and started in a store owned by Francis Knowlton and occupied by T. G. Whittier. In the absence of suitable means for fighting the fire more loss was sustained than other- wise would have been necessary. The loss was about $18,000, partially covered by about $9,000 insurance.
Tliis disaster brought home to the people of the Village the need of regular means to meet such occurrences as the above, and tlie Legislature being in session at the time a charter for the Farmington A^illage Corporation was obtained and active measures were taken to provide for the better protection of the village against fire but l^efore any real results came from that action interest must have subsided as no records are ob- tainable to show that the organization was kept up.
The Sandy River Bank was organized on October 14th, 1853. The stockholders were for the most part western parties and the early history of the bank was not a story of success. In 1859 it was reorganized with a capital of $75,000 instead of $50,000 as in the previous case. The people of Farmington took an active interest in the institution and it continued suc- cessfully till 1865 when it became a National Bank with the title of the Sandy River National Bank of Farmington."
On October 13. 1855, occurred another very disastrous fresh- et which swelled the waters of the Sandy River to the largest proportions known up to this time. The damage all along its course was heavy.
46 HISTORICAL.
The Riverside Cemetery was opened in 18^8 on the Deacon John Bailey farm al)ont three quarters of a mile below the Center Mlla^^e. Tt was enlarg-ed in i866 by haA-inj^- four acre^ Dn the south side added. The Franklin Cemetery was laid out in 1876 by the Hon. Joseph W. Fairbanks. It is located directly south of the Riverside Cemetery.
The Franklin Patriot appeared on January 29, 1858, with H. B. Stetson and E. F. Pillsbury editors and Stephen B. Lee. printer. Mr. Stetson soon retired and was succeeded by Joseph A. Linscott. The paper continued to be issued under different parties till 1865 when it was sold to a Mr. Chick of Augusta.
On the morning of December 29th. 1859, a second fire visited the place and destroyed considerable property, though heroic effort alone prevented a serious conflagration. This fire de- stroyed the brick store owned by Hiram Belcher and occupied by A. H. Bonney, a general merchant. The loss though not serious was sufficient to awaken the people to the necessity of having a fire department. This was provided by reorganiz- ing the village corporation in i860 on IMarch 17th. The old charter had never been put into use and at this time a new one was adopted by the village. Soon after the corporation was organized a fire engine which cost about $500 was purchased.
We learn that the census of the population at the end of the year i860 showed the number of citizens to be 3106, ?,nd the valuation was $998,814.

F"armington and the War of the Rebellion.
Slavery — The Friend of the Sonth — Fort Sumpter Fired Upon — Call for Troops — Farmington's Loyalty — Washburn's Proclamation — Meeting in Farmington — Fannington Com- panies Organized — List of Men Engaged.
]'"armington"s i)art in the War of the Rebellion is one of which she can be justly proud. The boom of the southern can- non which announced the fall of Sumpter had scarcely sounded the death-knell of the institutions of slavery when the people of l-'armington were discussing means for doing her part in ])roperly punishing the traitors. When the opportunity did come she was ready. Regardless of party affiliations the peo- ple of Farmington were one in this time when the darkness and stillness preceeding the coming storm was settling down over the republic. Citizens vied with each other in professions of loyalty to the flag, and of their readiness to defend it. The voice of patriotism was everywhere heard in behalf of the insti- tutions which were about to suffer their severest attack. Anx- iously did they await every intelligence from the seat of the trouble, hoping for some peaceful solution of the great prob- lem, but they were doomed to distappointment. The south turned a deaf ear to the appeals of the incoming president, Mr. Lincoln, to lay down their arms and remain a part of the Union. They refused to listen and they killed by force the insti- tution of slavery which they might have preserved by com- promise for many years had they accepted the terms of the president, whom they now recognize as their best friend.
History was made rapidly in the days of the early 6o's Close- ly following the fall of Sumpter came the president's call for 75,000 men for three months to crush out the treasQn which
48 HISTORICAL.
was rapidly taking- root within the l^ounds (^f a free country. The men were to come from the different state miHtias and Maine's quota was one reg^iment of tooo men. On April 16, 1861, Governor Washljurn issued a proclamation calling to- gether the Maine Legislature on the 22nd of April. The Legis- lature met at the time appointed, authorized a State loan of $1,000,000 and the raising of 10,000 volunteers for three years.
On July 19, 1862, occurred an event of interest. It was a meeting held on the Common to organize the town militia. Captain E. T Pillsbury presided and ably addressed the as- sembly, urging all to uphold the arm of the government in its hour of peril. Other speakers were Captain E. I. Merrill, Rev. R. B. Howard, Maj. W. P. Frye, Colonel E. W. Woodman. After about twenty voluneers came forward the organization of the military companies was perfected as follows: Co. A. — Daniel W. Pratt, captain; William H. Hutchinson, first-lieu- tenant; Gustavus A. Stanley, second-lieutenant; Nathan W. Backus, Jr., third-lieutenant; Samuel G. Craig, fourth lieu- tenant. Co. B. — Alvan Neal, captain; Benj. F. Watson, first- lieutenant; Edward A. Pearson, second-lieutenant ; Robert ^L Morrison, third-lieutenant; Joseph B. Dow. fourth lieutenant. Co. C. — Edward L Merrill, captain; David E. Currier, first- lieutenant; Ammi R. C. Turner, second-lieutenant; Hiram 1). S. Davis, third-lieutenant ; Samuel J. Farmer, fourth-lieuten- ant. A volunteer artillery company, organized on Sept. 14, ]86i, had for its oflficers the following; Eben F. Pillsbury. cap- tain ; Henry M. House, first-lieutenant; Andrew J. Wheeler, second-lieutenant ; Elbridge G. Craig, third-lieutenant.
From time to time as the war progressed and the North began to realize the seriousness of the task before it, calls for men for the army and navy were necessarily made. From the existing records we are able to give the following figures as to the number of men and at what expense furnished by the
HISTORICAL. 49
town of I'^arming-ton during- the War of the Rel)ellion. The whole numl:)er of sohHers furnished by the town of Farming- ton was 326 and the total expense incurred thereby was

CHAPTER XI.
A Record from t86o to 1880.
Murder Cases — Doyle, Wright, Richardson and Fletcher — x\s- sassination of President Lincoln — Public Library — Franklin County Savings Bank Organized — Attempted Bank Rob- bery— Great Freshet, 1869 — Fire, 1874 — Fire, 1875.
A\'hile the war and its rapidly moving events were the chief topics of discussion among the people of Farmington during the early part of the decade from i860 to 1870 yet the murder of a young daughter of Isaas Libby of Strong on Sept. 15, 1862. Avas an event of sufficient interest and horror to create great excitement. This case was one that took much time and monev to ferit out by the officers of the law, but suspicion fastened it- self upon one Lawrence Doyle, a native of Brunswick, and an emplove of Mr. Libby. At the first trial which was begun on ( )ctober 28th, 1863. Doyle was acquitted, there being a dis- agreement of the jury. At the second trial begun Apr. 25, i86j, he was convicted in spite of the most strenuous efforts of his counsel, Eben F. Pillsbury, Esq., Hon. Joseph A. Linscott and ( )liver L. Currier, Esq. This has been called one of the most interesting of any of Maine's many intricate murder cases.
Another murder case was tried at Farmington during this same year beginning October 27th. The respondent was one Jesse Wright of Phillips, who had in a quarrel with a neighbor, one Jeremiah Tuck, shot and killed him instantly on May 6, 1863. WVight was tried, convicted and sentenced to death. In consideration of his age his sentence was never executed and he was finally pardoned by the Governor.
On November 16, of this same year, the people of this county were destined to hear of still another murderous assault which resulted fatallv and caused another murder trial. This tin)e
HISTORICAL. 53
it was one Joseph Edcs of Temple, who was the victim and one Samuel Richardson the assailant. In a quarrel over a section of fence the latter became oreatly enrag-ed and assailed Mr. Edes with an axe. indicting a wound of such a nature that death resulted in a brief time. He was tried at Farmington, for murder, the case being- opened on Apr. 2T,, 1864, and was sentenced to be hanged, but remained at Thomaston till his death in 1869, the sentence never having been carried out.
The news of the assassination of the president, Mr. Lincoln, came like a thunderbolt from the clear sky upon the people of this town in common with the whole country. Great was the sorrow over the sad news of the death wdiich came on April 16, 1865, and the following day being Sunday, appropriate services were held in memory of the beloved friend of the peo- ple. On April 19th memorial exercises were held and were largely attended.
In 1865 the Farmington Public Library was organized, and received as a neucleus for its collection the volumes that had been the property of the Philomathean Society. Through the enterprise of individuals interested in its welfare the collection of volumes was raj^iidly increased and the Library became a source of great benefit to the general public.
In 1868 the Franklin County Savings Bank began its career with the following officers: D. V. B. Ormsby, president; Rob- ert Goodenow, secretary and treasurer.
The summer of the year 1869 is remembered for an event that attracted considerable attention at the time. It was the attempted robbery of the Sandy River National Bank by un- known parties who succeeded in making their escape by means of a hand-car wdiich was found thrown over an embankment in the town of Livermore the next day. From the way their efforts were put forth it was thought they were professionals, though they were interrupted in their work by the watchman,
54 HISTORICAL.
Mr. Joseph Bangs. None of the property of the bank was carried off tliong-h some damag-e was done to the safe and other furnishings of tlie institution.
During the latter part of this same year came tlie worst freshet that is recorded in the history of Farmington. Serious damage was done through all parts of the town, '.he bridges being nearly all swept away. During the following winter the other freshets occurred and though the damage was slight compared with that caused by the above mentioned one, all these disasters taken together made the fall and winter of 1869-70 a time to be long rememljered.
December 16, 1864. was the date of another fire that was destructive of considerable property. It started on Main street in the store owned and occupied by William Tarbox as a har- ness shop. Several other buildings were destroyed. Within less than a year's time there was another fire far more serious than the one above mentioned. This one started in the drug store of I. C. Richards and before the advance of the flames could be arrested several stores on Main street and Broadway were destroyed. The loss was about $10,000.
CHAPTER XII.
A Record from 1880 to 1903.
The past tweiity-two years have brought to the town of Farmington, in common with other towns, some changes. These changes are found not so much in superior developments in industrial lines nor in an increase of population, but rather in improvements that have come in large numbers to the Center Village and in general improvements found through- out the town. The never failing fertility of the soil has assured her agricultural success and the thrift of her citizenship has kept good the title of Farmington to one of the most enter-
HISTORICAL. 55
])risin_i;- and ]M-()i^Tessive towns of her size in the State. The name and fame of l'"armington has eontinually shone l)rio'hter through the Hves of those who have gone out from her borders to other fiehls of work. Her devotion to the principles of edu- cation has only increased with the flight of years, and we find her today interested as never before in the promotion of all branches of educational work. The last quarter of a century has Vvitnessed the calling home of many of the old and familiar promoters of her early career. The veterans of those past con- liicts both civil and military, are fast dropping from the ranks; and soon the last of the number wall become a part of the past. In this short sketch of these years we cannot undertake an extended account of all the events of interest, but shall attempt the enumeration of only those of the more important as they have appeared in the records to which we have had access. \\'e find that the event that stands out most prominently in the past few years is the great fire of 1886. This disastrous conflagration, the worst that has visited Franklin county in its history, began on the 22nd of October, 1886, in a stable on or near the site now occupied by the livery stable of A. D. Horn. The flames were discovered during the early part of the night, and were fiercely combated with such means as could be had but to no avail. From the time the fire got beyond con- trol at its starting point till the arrival of a fire engine from Lewiston the only successful efifort that could be made was to preserve as many household and other goods as circumstances would permit. Nearly every building on Main street from the point above mentioned to South street was swept away by the flames. Several stores, the Congregational church, the Methodist church, a magnificent structure barely completed, and a large number of dewlling houses were lost. It is stated to the writer that the total number of buildings destroyed was over

ninety. The total loss was estimated at $250,000 and the total insurance was $[50,000. As mio-ht be expected considerable sufiferine: from want of the necessaries of life resulted; and Hon. J. W. P^airl)anks wdio acted as distril)utino^ agent supplied to the needy in ])rovisions. wood and money, nearly $2000. Tt was a calamity that will long- be remembered by those who witnessed it. A\'hile it was a very disastrous event it had its good results for upon the sites of the former wooden struc- tures arose fine brick blocks and modern building's of wood.
The year preceding^ the Great Fire witnessed the organiza- tion of 'I'he People's Trust Co., an institution which has since that date built up an excellent record as a banking institution, ft was organized in October, 1885, with (leo. W. Wheeler, president: Daniel M. Bonney. treasurer. In 1901, in connec- tion with this same bank and under the same management, was organized the People's National Bank. The capital of each institution is $50,000. The present officers are : Geo. W. wheeler, presment ; J. Prentiss Flint, treasurer.
The year 1885 also witnessed the building of a new and sub- stantial county court house at the Center Village. It was built on contract by M. C. Foster & Son at an expense of $20,000.
In 1887 the present jail near the Common was erected by the county. It is a structure that was much needed.
The building of the Congregational Church began during the spring folowing the fire of '86. The building committee consisted of the folowing: Hon. J. W. Fairbanks, J. P. Thwing, Wm. True, Prof. G. C. Purington, and J. H. Waugh, The work progressed rapidly and it was dedicated with im- pressive ceremonies on the 5th of June 1888. The total value of the property of the Church including the buildings and the equipment of the same is valued at not far from $30,000. This is one of the finest church structures in this part of the state, and is an ornament to the town.
58 HISTORICAL.
At the same time the Alethodists were ag-ain responding- nobly to the eall for a new clnireh to take the plaee of the ele- gant strueture taken from them by the fire. This was one of the saddest losses of the whole list. The Methodist Church had been but recently completed at a large expense. This dis- aster coming so soon after the sacrifices made to erect the former building would have discouraged less courageous hearts than these. But they responded nobly to the demand and soon a fine structure, though smaller than the former build- ing was erected. The dedication took place on June 14. 1888. The church and its equipment is valued at $12,000.
The year 1890 witnessed the merging of the old Sandy River National Bank into the First National Bank of Farmington. The latter institution started with the following officers : Jos. C. Holman, president; J. H. Thompson, treasurer.
The same year a modern system of v^'ater works was put in the village of Farmington, which added greatly to the con- venience of the community. It was constructed by a private corporation through franchise l)y the village corporation. The franchise gave the village the option of purchasing the works after five years time. However consideral)le difficulty was ex- perienced in adjusting the matter, and though having conclud- ing to buy, it was very recently that the village came into pos- session of the works. The consideration was approximately $52,000.
The constantly increasing number of students at the Normal School during the first fifteen years of this period made neces- sary the building of a larger structure to accommodate it. Recognizing this condition the State finally made provisions to remedy it.
The work was placed in charge of a committee of three ap- pointed by the State Board of Trustees for Normal Schools. It consisted of Hon. J. W. Fairbanks, resident member of the
HISTORICAL. 59
State Board, G. A. Roljertson of Aug-usta. and Prof. H. L. Chapnian of Driinswick. This committee beg^an its labors in 1896. Four years were required to complete the structure, but during- this period not a day of time was lost to the school. The new building, ninety feet in length and seventy feet wide, built of brick, and constructed on a modern plan is one of the most attractive buildings of Farmington today. The total cost of the building \vas forty thousand dollars.
In 1898 grading and construction of bridges and trestlework on the Franklin. Somerset & Wiscasset R. R. was begun at I-'armington. For a time it looked as though there would be a narrow guage road connecting Farmington with Waterville and other points of the Kennebec \ alley in operation at once. But certain obstacles were encountered after most of the bridges had been constructed and the grading completed from F'armington nearly to New Sharon, which interrupted the work and for some time nothing has been done toward com- pleting it.
J. ne burning 01 the Little Blue School buildings in 1899 was a source of much regret to the citizens of the town of Farm- ington, and to the many who have been connected with this well and most favorably knowm institution at different periods of its historv. During the year 1002 the question of rebuilding was agitated by the public spirited citizens of the place, with the result that during the past summer about $18,000 was raised by subscription and by loan (Si 2,000 being loaned at 4 per cent. intere.st by a ^Slr. Hayes of Buffalo, X. Y.) As soon as the funds were forthcoming work was begun upon the grounds and the site of the new building selected. The work was pushed rapidly, and the year 1903 finds the Little Blue School once more active. Much prosperity is anticipated for the schooi in the future, under the management of Prof. Geo. Dudiev Church, the new principal.
60 HISTORICAL.
The organization of a military company on July 2, 1900, marked a revival of interest in military matters that had been lying dormant for many years. The new organization is known as Company K, Hoyt's Cadets. The first captain was Ernest Royal ; ist Lieut., Elmer S. Randall ; 2nd Lieut., Alfred Mat- thew. The present officers are Geo. McL. Presson, captain; 1st Lieut., Elmer S. Randall; 2nd Lieut., Alfred A. Matthew. The record of this company has been a source of pride to the community and much interest is manifested in its welfare. It carried off second prize in 1902 for fine marksmanshi]) in the "Second Maine" regimental shoot.
A painful tragedy occurred in the town of Wilton on the nineth of Sept. 1902, when Mrs. Josephine E. Holbrook of that place met her death by a revolver shot. The Coroner's inquest led to the retention of Herbert E. Holbrook, the husband of the unfortunate woman, and he was committed to Farmington jail to await trial at the September term of court. The case was brought for trial on Oct. 6, 1902. The State was represented by County Attorney H. S. Wing and Attorney General Geo. M. Seiders. C. N. Blanchard, Esq., of Wilton, was counsel for the defendant. Justice W. P. Whitehouse presided. On the loth of October the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. The chief plea of the counsel for the defense was insanity. Mr. Holbrook was sentenced to hard labor for life at the State prison at Thomaston.
A library building has for many years been one of the needs of the community, and many of the people have had the matter under consideration for some time. This present year (1902) tnrough the active co-operation of many of the leading citizens and the Cutler brothers, an elegant building on Academy street was erected. This costly modern structure adds much to the beauty of the town.

CHAPTER XIIT.
Professional Men of the Town of Farniington.
We ^ivc lierevvitli the names of the professional men who have lived and lal)orc(l in the town of Farmington from the earliest time.
Lawyers.
Henry Vassal Chamberlain was the first lawyer who settled in Farmington. He was a native of Worcester, Mass. ; was a man of liberal edncation. and a good lawyer. He remained in this town eight years and in 1808 removed to New Orleans, La.
Nathan Cutler was another of Farmington's able lawyers. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College, in the class of 1794. He w^as first a teacher and then entered the legal profession which was his life work. He began at Farmington Falls but soon removed to the Center Village. Mr. Cutler was a man of great ability and sterling character and was rewarded with many places of trust at the hands of his fellow citizens. He became acting governor of aMine iipon the death of Governor Lincoln in 1829. He died in 1861.
Zachariah Soule was the third lawyer in Farmington in order of time. He staid in town only a few years, from 1805 to 1812, but built up a good business.
Elathan Pope opened an office at The Falls in 180Q. Mr. Pope later became a resident of New Sharon. He finally with- drew from the practice of law and became interested in farm- ing. He died in Chesterville in 1861.
Hiram Belcher was one of the ablest members of the Frank- lin bar. He was possessed of a brilliant mind and was strictly honest. He reached many places of public trust and never failed to discharge his obligations with honor to himself and to his constituents.

They are as follows: Robert (ioodenow, John L. Cutler. Joshua Randall, Simeon H. Lowell, Samuel Belcher, Hannibal Helcher, l)a\id H. Chandler, Arthur I^". Belcher. The lawyers in practice in Farming-ton at the ])resent time are as follows: S. Clifford liel- cher. Henry L. ^Vhitcoml), Joseph C. Holman, Enoch («*. (jreenleaf, Elmer E. Richards, .\lbion L. I'^enderson, Leonard B. Brown, Louis Voter, Frank W. Butler, Byron M. .Small and Josiah H. Th(^mi)son.
Physicians.
The first ])hysician in town was one Theophilus Hopkins. He remained in Farmington only a few years and nothing is known of his subsec|uent career.
The second physician in town was Dr. Aaron Stoyell who settled at the Center Village in 1794. He was a very able mem- ber of his profession and was held in high esteem by the ])eo- ple of the region in which he practiced. He died in Ohio in
1833-
Dr. Samuel (iuild was the next physician to locate in town. He was not successful in obtaining a practice in I'armington owing to his highly aristocratic manners which rendered him unpopular, and he soon left for other fields.
In 1799 Dr. Thos. D. Blake came to the "Falls" and began the practice of medicine. He was an active practitioner in Farmington for over forty years and was very successful.
Dr. Ebenezer Taylor came here in 1804 and had a success- ful practice but remained only a short time.
Dr. Josiah Prescott was another of Farmington's noted phy- sicians. He located in town in 1812 and inimediatelv wa.-;
HISTORICAL. 63
favored with a large practice. He was associated with many other lines of work both political and mercantile and conse- quently did not achieve the highest degree of success in his profession which would have been his by constant application to his chosen work.
The following is a list of physicians who have practiced in h'armington at different times and only lack of space in this brief work prevents us from giving sketches of each of them as well as those who were the very earliest in the town.

CHAPTER XIV.
Mercantile and Industrial.
Farmington is the natural trade center of Franklin County and as such has enjoyed a long and profitable business career. It is situated in one of the best agricultural districts in the State and also is in touch with the lumbering interests which are of so great moment to the Pine Tree State. Immediately the superior natural advantages possessed by the Sandy River Valley became known to the people of the lower part of the vState business men began to locate within its borders and to build up that industrial progress which has been its leading

66 HISTORICAL.
We have endeavored to give in the above table the names of those who engaged in mercantile pursuits in the town of Farm - ington either at The Center Village or at the Falls, West Farm- ington or elsewhere, down to about the time of the Civil War. These were the men whose push and judgment made for this town a business standing which has become known far and near.
Industrial Account.
Farmington has never been to any great extent a manufac- turing town. In the early years its citizens did scarcely any- thing in the line of manufacturing, and when they did begin it was only to produce such things as materials for building, etc. — which came from the saw-mills. Grist mills were among the necessities, and the first saw-mills and grist-mills were erected by Messrs. Colburn and Pullen. From time to time mills of this kind were erected according to the needs of the people ; and at the present time there are several of these in active operation.
Tanneries.
Plants for the tanning industry were established at diiTerent times. Mr. Ebenezer Sweet was the first to begin the tanning of leather in Farmington. There have been several other tan- neries operated within this town which did a good business for a time, but they were gradually forced out of business and at the present there are none in operation.
Fulling Mills.
The first fulling mill in town was built by William Allen in i;793. It was located on Allen brook. This location was soon
HISTORICAL. 67
after al)an(l()nc(l and the plant was transferred to The Falls. The others who were engag'ed in the business during;' the early part of the century are as follows: Jonathan Knowlton. Jere- miah Stinchfield, Enoch AA^ood, Luke Perkins, Ebenezer Shaw and John ]\ Shaw, also Samuel Emery, Daniel Davis and David ^lorVill.
Shoe-]\Iaking'.
As is well kno\vn to our older citizens the shoe industry was carried on in a far different way in the early years than at pre- sent. The shoe maker was accustomed to go about from house to house and do what work was needed, at reg-ular periods. The coming" of modern methods have made a complete revolu- tion in the manufacture of foot wear, and today the large cities are filled with factories engaged in the manufacture of these articles.
Among other industries which have received attention at the hands of some portion of Earmington's population were Blacksmithing, Hat Manufacturing, Corn Canning, Novelty AA^ork, Cabinet Making, Chair Making, Potteries, Car- riages and Sleighs. The latter industry has become in the later years one of the important ones of the town. The quality of h^armington's output of carriages and sleighs has become widely and favorably known. Another industry which has received much attention at the hands of Earmington people and wdiich is being pursued to a considerable extent today is printing. Some dozen or more newspapers have been pub- lished in the town at different times. The Chronicle which is a very well known publication is the only newspaper published at this time. This sheet was established in 1845 and has con- stantly added late improvements and has in every way success- fully cndea^■orcd to keep abreast of the times,
68 HISTORICAL.
Messrs. Knowlton, McLeary & Co. have in the recent years built up a large business in job printing- and especially in the printing of school books and pamphlets. This concern is well known for its excellent work and is doing a contantly increas- ing business. Mr. R. A. Merrow for a time published the Inde- pendent a paper which was very well received for its many good cjualities. It was discontinued a short time ago.
One of the most interesting and profitable of the local indus- tries that have been developed in the town of Farmington in recent years is that of Greenwood's Ear Protector Manufac- tury. This business was founded in 1877 by Chester Greenwood the inventor of the article which has had so large a sale. Like so many other inventions that have proven useful to the public as well as profitable to the inventor this article was produced from necessity. As a boy Mr. Greenwood had felt a special need for something of the kind and when he found that all the a])pliances then in use were powerless to protect his ears from the cold he set about to produce something that would be ef- fective. The Greenwood Ear Protector is the result. He was only fifteen years of age when he produced the first pair of protectors, and was but seventeen when the first patent was obtained. The business was located at West Farmington ai first but in 1887 a buildingwas erected at the Center Vilage. This continued to be the home of the industry till 1901 when a new and modern building of brick was erected on Depot Street. The business was entirely local at first, but about twenty years ago there came a demand from the west for the goods and it has continued to the present time. The annual output of the factory averages about 60,000 pairs. The firm name is "Chester Greenwood & Co."

densus of jFarminoton, 1002*3.
TIk' i)M])iilati()n of Farminf^ton has l)ecn arranyed liercwitli i-i families where that arrano^ement has been possible. In these families in acklition to the names of the resident members, the names of the non-resident members are also .Q-iven. It will be apparent at once that by this method that not all the names of the peo])le wdio have previousl}^ lived in I'armin.c^ton will be in- clnded.but sini])ly those who have one or both the parents still livinj^- in this town. At the close of the Censns will be found the list of non-residents arrang'ed in alphabetical order, aiK' with the Post Office address of each oj^posite the name.
Opposite the name of each person in the Census will be found the date of birth, with some few exceptions, as explained in another para,q;rai)h. At this point it should be said that oc- casional errors occur through several sources in giving the data by the parties whom it concerns; in writing the data upon manuscript by the author; and also ty])ogra])hical errors. These should be taken into consideration by the reader, also the fact that no book was ever published that was free from errors, should be remembered.
The ])o])ulation has been arranged in sectifMis according to i'ost ( )flice address.
Xon-residents are indicated in the Census by the *.
We call attention to the fact that a certain few }:)ersons have withheld the dates called for in the Census. Also some few persons have refused to allow their names to appear in the Census at all. It will be apparent that in those cases the author cannot be held responsible for the omissions.
This Census was taken cxpressely for this work during the fall of 1902.

After a number of years have passed, formerly well fitting eye glasses seem to loose their quality of service. In such cases it becomes necessary to have the eyes re-examined, eye defects may have changed in their nature or become more prominent. In either case a change of lenses may be neces- sary to improve and preserve the eyesight. The matter is one of import- ance and should never be neglected. Timely precaution is always helpful to yon — harmful never. Call any day.

THE FAMOUS
NORTH STAR FURCOATS
J'OT Sentlemen and JLaciies
Made only in St. Paul, Minn., by the most skillful workmen in the worlds
J'ulli/ Warranted
"NORTH STAR" means Style, Fit, Wearand Satisfaction, and costs no more than inferior coats without a warrant.
We recommend "North Star" coats for the following reasons: There is no acid used in dressing the skins, therefore, they will not stiffen by wetting. The seams are sewed with a double, waxed linen thread and will not rip. And above all the skins are natural color.
Ladies can now have coats cut to fit and not be obliged to wear men's coats. Our line is complete for gentlemen and ladies in the following materials; lin- ings and trimmings to suit:
BLACK CHINESE DOG. MARTIN, GOAT, WOMBAT, SPANISH LAMB,
KANGAROO, GALLOWAY CALF, RACCOON, CURLY PUP,
CUB BEAR, BRAZILIAN DOG, ETC., ETC.
Our best advertisement is a satisfied wearer of "North Star" coats. Talk with them, — they are plenty.
