INDIAN    HISTORY 

As  has  already  been  seen,  the  Indians  plaved  a  very 
important  part  in  the  early  history  of  the  town.  The  phys- 
ical advantages  of  the  location,  their  burial  place  on  Lane's 
Island,  and  the  importance  of  the  place  to  them  from  its 
situation  in  relation  to  other  towns,  lead  the  Indians  to 
resist  the  advance  of  the  whites  with  a  hostility  more  indom- 
itable and  deadly  than  they  exhibited  towards  most  other 
settlements  in  the  state.  Owing  to  this,  the  lands  Id  the 
interior  continued  to  be  laid  waste  and  the  inhabitants, 
though  living  near  together,  were  often  obliged  to  forsake 
their  dwellings.  Husbands  and  fathers  were  killed  and 
wives  and  children  carried  into  captivity.  Compelled  to 
carr^'  arms  in  their  walks,  their  labors  and  their  worship, 
the  inhabitants  said:  "There  is  no  peace  to  him  that  goeth 
out  nor  to  him  that  cometh  in.  We  get  our  bread  at  the 
peril  of  our  lives  because  of  the  sword  of  the  wilderness." 
Mr.  William  Scales,  father  of  Deacon  Thomas  and  Matthew 


6  HISTORICAL 

Scales,  was  killed  in  the  year  1725  on  the  Scales  farm,  and 
soon  after  Joseph  Felt,  father  of  Mrs.  Peter  Weare,  was 
killed  at  Broad  Cove,  Felt's  wife  and  children  were  carried 
into  captivity  and  afterwards  redeemed  by  Capt  Weare. 
Joseph  Weare,  a  grandson  of  Felt,  never  lost  an  opportu- 
nity to  be  revenged  on  the  Indians.  Several  stories  told 
concerning  him,  the  truth  of  which  the  writer  would  not 
vouch  for,  are  quoted  from  "01^  Times."  Weare  once  lived 
near  the  bank  of  the  Androscoggin  river  at  Lewiston  Falls. 
In  some  way  he  learned  that  a  war  party  had  planned  to 
descend  the  river  one  dark  night  and  attack  the  settlers  in 
that  vicinity.  In  order  to  prevent  getting  too  near  the  falls 
in  the  darkness,  they  sent  one  of  their  number  down  the 
river  to  build  a  fire  on  the  island  some  way  above  the  falls. 
After  nightfall  Weare  surprised  and  killed  the  sentinel,  ex- 
tinguished the  fire,  and  built  another  on  the  island  just  at 
the  head  of  the  falls,  now  known  locally  as  Island  Garden. 
The  Indians,  feeling  secure  as  long  as  they  were  above  the 
beacon  light  were  caught  in  the  rapids  before  they  realized 
their  danger  and  were  carried  over  the  falls  to  death.  On 
another  occasion  Weare  was  splitting  rails  near  his  home 
when  six  Indians  approached  him  and  asked  if  he  could  tell 
them  where  Joe  Weare  lived,  to  which  question  the  quick- 
witted old  scout  replied  in  the  affirmative  and  offered  to 
show  them  the  person  they  sought  as  soon  as  he  had  finished 
splitting  the  log  on  which  he  was  then  at  work.  When  "Joe" 
had  driven  in  his  wedge  and  had  the  log  well  opened  he  asked 
the  Indians  to  help  him  by  pulling  on  each  side  as  he  drove 
the  wedge;  to  this  the  party  agreed  and  took  hold,  three  on 


HISTORICAL  7 

each  side,  with  their  fingers  in  the  crack  of  the  log,  when 
Weare,  by  a  dexterous  blow  of  the  sledge,  knocked  out  the 
wedge  causing  the  seam  to  close  like  a  vice  upon  their  hands 
and  leaving  them  at  the  mercy  of  their  terrible  enemy,  who 
as  he  gave  each  a  death  blow^  with  his  axe  shouted  in  theears 
of  his  victims:  "I'm  Joe  Weare,  d you,  I'm  Joe  Weare." 

The  hostility  of  Weare  towards  the  Indians  was  never 
abated.  He  sw^ore  to  kill  one  for  every  drop  ot  blood  they 
drew  from  the  veins  of  his  brother-in-law. 

Philip  Greely,  ancestor  of  the  Greely  family  of  this  sec- 
tion, and  of  Portland,  was  killed  Aug.  9,  1746,  at  the  lower 
Falls,  near  the  house  of  the  late  Mr.  Daniel  True,  when  a 
company  of  thirty-two  Indians  had  secreted  themselves 
intending  to  surprise  Weare's  garrison  when  the  men  should 
have  gone  to  work.  They  w^ere  discovered  by  Mr.  Greely 's 
dog,  else  they  had  probably  suffered  him  to  T)ass  unmolested. 
Though  Mr.  Greely  lost  his  life,  this  probably  saved  the  gar- 
rison. 

It  was  in  a  skirmish  with  the  savages  that  Walter  Gend- 
all,  one  of  the  bravest  and  foremost  men  of  the  early  days 
was  slain  by  a  shot  through  the  body.  Separated  from  his 
men  by  the  river  he  suddenly  noticed  that  they  ceased  firing, 
and  by  their  signal  he  knew  that  their  ammunition  was 
exhausted  and  that  they  were  at  the  mercy  of  the  savages. 
Against  the  entreaties  of  his  wife  and  family  he  determined 
to  risk  the  chance  of  death,  by  crossing  the  open  river  to 
save  his  men.  He  managed  to  get  safely  by  the  middle  of 
the  stream,  but  as  the  boat  touched  shore  he  received  a 
bullet  in  the  body  and  immediately  expired,  having  only 


8  HISTORICAL 

time  to  throw  the  ammunition  ashore  and  say:  "I  have  lost 
my  life  in  3'our  service."  The  party  were  now  enabled  to 
maintain  their  ground  till  night  came  on  when  the  Indians 
retreated. 

On  Saturday,  May  4th,  1756,  a  large  party  of  Indians 
appeared  at  Topsham,  where  they  separated,  one  party  to 
go  to  New  Meadows,  and  the  other  to  North  Yarmouth. 
The  latter  party,  at  day-break,  on  Sabbath  morning, 
assaulted  the  house  of  Mr,  Thomas  Maines,  at  Flying  Point, 
now  Freeport,  which,  though  well  fortified,  they  finally 
entered.  John  Martin  was  in  the  chamber  of  the  house  with 
a  loaded  gun,  but  not  being  able  in  the  darkness  to  find  it, 
kept  himself  concealed.  Mr.  Maines,  his  wife  and  children, 
and  a  sister  of  Mrs.  Maines,  Miss  Skinner  by  name,  were 
draggedfrom  the  house,  and  Mr.  Maines  shot  near  by;  mean- 
while Mrs.  Maines  and  the  children  succeeded  in  regaining  the 
house  and  fastening  the  door.  A  ball  Irom  the  gun  of  an 
Indian  entered  the  house  and  was  fatal  to  an  infant  in  the 
arms  of  Mrs.  Maines.  At  length  the  Indians  again  entered 
the  dwelling,  but  Martin,  pointing  his  gun,  which  he  had 
found,  through  the  chamber  floor,  dropped  one  of  them  in 
the  entry;  retaining  the  sister  of  Mrs.  Maines  and  bearing 
away  their  wounded  man  they  hastily  departed.  Mr.  Maines 
is  said  to  have  been  the  last  inhabitant  of  the  town  to  be 
killed  by  the  natives.  These  are  only  a  few  typical  illustra- 
tions of  the  warfare  that  was  continually  raging. 

To  summarize  the  Indian  wars  which  bore  directly  on 
the  history  of  ancient  North  Yarmouth:  In  1675  the  Indians 
began  a  war  of  extermination,  and  the  settlers  were  obliged 


HISTORICAL  9 

to  abandon  their  homes  which  were  pillaged  and  burned. 
After  three  years,  peace  was  made  and  the  inhabitants 
returned  to  their  desolate  homes. 

In  1688  there  was  another  outbreak.  The  saw  mills 
were  burned  and  many  inhabitants  butchered.  Forced  to 
abandon  their  homes  the  second  time  the  few  surviving  set- 
tlers removed  to  Jewell's  Island  and  built  a  fort  there  to 
protect  themselves  until  they  could  return  to  Massachusetts. 

Soon  after  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  between  France 
and  England  in  1744  hostilities  were  resumed,  and  for  sev- 
eral years  the  savages  sought  the  destruction  of  the  English 
settlers. 

The  old  redoubt  on  Prince's  Point  behind  which  is  a 
grass  covered  lawn  succeeded  by  a  beautiful  grove  was  the 
annual  resort  of  the  Indians  in  the  early  days.  The  high 
bank  to  the  left  of  the  redoubt  is  for  many  rods  composed  of 
shells  intermixed  with  soil  which  is  the  accumulation  of  these 
annual  feasts.  To  the  right  the  falling  bank  occasionally 
discloses  an  Indian  skeleton  showing  this  bank  to  have  been 
to  them  the  place  of  burial  for  their  dead,  and  the  feasts 
were  probably  held  to  the  departed  warriors. 


10  HISTORICAL 


FIRST    SETTLEMENT. 

The  capacious  bay  adjacent,  its  fine  harbors  and  numer- 
ous islands,  its  small  but  valuable  river,  fish,  p;ame,  and  a 
bountiful  supply  of  timber  favorably  situated  for  exporta- 
tion, early  invited  white  settlers  to  No.  Yarmouth.  The 
town  of  No.  Yarmouth  was  settled  in  1680.  It  was  origi- 
nally called  Wescustogo,  the  Indian  name  for  Royal  River. 
But  at  its  incorporation,  which  was  the  same  year  as  its  set- 
tlement, its  name  was  changed  to  North  Yarmouth. 

FIRST    PURCHASE    OF    LAND. 

As  early  as  1640,  Geo.  Felt,  born  in  1600,  lived  in  a 
stone  garrison  at  Broad  Cove  on  land  which  he  purchased  of 
John  Phillips,  a  Welchman,  who  had  probably  before  occu- 
pied it,  and  which  in  1643  he  repurchased  of  an  agent  of  Sir 
Ferdinando  Gorges,  proprietor  of  Maine. 

About  the  same  period  William  Royal,  who  came  from 
England,  was  living  on  a  farm  on  the  east  side  of  the  river 
which  bears  his  name.  John  Cousins  as  early  as  1637  was 
living  near  the  neck  of  land  dividing  the  branches  of  Cousins 
River,  and  a  little  later  (1645)  purchased  the  island  which 
bears  his  name. 

Other  inhabitants  at  an  early  period  were  Richard  Bray, 
who,  in  1647,  bought  oae  half  of  Cousins  Island;  James 
Lane;  John  Maine,  on  Maine  Point;  John  Holman  on  Hol- 
man's  (Princes  Point);  Thos.  Reading  on  east  side  Cousins 


HISTORICAL  11 

River;  Thomas  Wise,  Thomas  Shepherd,  Nicholas  White, 
Thomas  Blashfield,  Amos  Stevens,  and  Walter  Gendall.  The 
settlement  steadily  grew  and  in  1674  a  man  by  the  name  of 
Sayward  erected  the  first  saw  mill  at  the  lower  falls  on  the 
east  side  of  the  river. 

The  settlement  had  now  existed  for  a  period  of  from  30 
to  40  years.  About  1675  King  Philip's  war  commenced, 
when  the  inhabitants  fled  to  the  westerly  towns  where  they 
could  be  defended,  and  the  mill  recently  erected  and  most  of 
the  dwellings  were  burned. 

SECOND  OCCUPATION. 

Peace  was  again  concluded  at  Falmouth,  April,  1678, 
and  the  inhabitants,  many  of  whom  survived,  began  to 
return  to  their  deserted  homes.  Walter  Gendall  purchased 
the  tract  of  land  on  which  H.  Sayward  had  formerly  built  a 
saw  mill,  and  rebuilt  the  structure.  A  brisk  business  was 
carried  on.  One  half  the  mill  rented  for  50,000  feet  of  mer- 
chantable boards  per  annum.  Acorn  mill  was  now  erected 
at  the  lower  falls,  and  Gendall  had  a  dwelling  house  on  the 
east  side  of  the  river  Royal,  near  his  mills,  and  one  of  rude 
construction  for  his  men  on  the  opposite  shore. 

This  takes  us  up  to  1680,  when  the  town  was  incorpor- 
ated under  the  name  of  No.  Yarmouth.  A  committee  con- 
sisting of  B.  Gedney,  Walter  Gendall,  Joshua  Scotton  and 
Silvanus  Davis  were  appointed  to  superintend  the  laying  out 
of  the  town.  Under  their  direction  the  town  was  laid  out  on 
a  spot  then  known  as  Maine's  Point. 

The  committee  above  named  was  soon  superceded  by  the 


12  HISTORICAL 

appointment  of  John  Eoyal,  John  York,  John  Harris,  and 
Walter  Gendall  as  trustees  of  the  town,  and  at  a  town  meet- 
ing in  Feb.  1685,  grants  of  land  were  made  to  a  large  num- 
ber of  the  inhabitants. 

The  families  were  now  about  36  in  number,  located  chiefly 
along  the  river  and  sea  shore.  They  had  now  enjoyed  a  ten 
years  period  of  peace  and  prosperity.  The  Indians  had  not 
molested  them  and  they  had  not  only  repaired  the  havoc 
wrought  by  King  Philip's  war,  but  had  made  some  advance. 

In  1688  the  little  colony  of  hardy  settlers,  now  number- 
ing 160,  was  doomed  to  another  disaster  in  the  breaking  out 
of  King  William's  war.  The  Indians  poured  in  upon  them, 
and  those  who  survived  betook  themselves  to  Jewell  Island 
and  thence  to  Boston. 

THIRD     SETTLEMENT. 

No  attempt  was  made  to  repeople  the  town  until  1713 
when  the  town  had  been  desolate  for  about  twenty-five  years 
and  the  traces  of  habitation  had  almost  been  obliterated. 
But  finally  the  sons,  the  grandsons,  and  a  few  of  the  old 
inhabitants,  came  back  to  the  ashes  of  the  former  habita- 
tions. 

The  settlement  slowly  revived  and  in  1722  the  popula- 
tion was  about  100.  During  that  year,  at  the  petition  of 
the  inhabitants  and  other  claimants  of  the  possessions  in 
No.  Yarmouth,  the  general  court  appointed  a  committee 
consisting  of  William  Taylor,  Elisha  Cook,  William  Dudley, 
John  Smith  and  John  Powell  to  superintend  the  settlement. 

This  committee  directed  the  afi'airs  of  the  settlement 


HISTORICAL  13 

until  1733,  when  they  proposed  to  the  General  Court  that 
they  be  dismissed  and  that  the  settlement  have  the  rights 
and  privileges  enjoyed  by  other  towns.  This  proposal  was 
agreed  to  and  a  town  meeting  was  at  once  called  and  regular 
town  officers  chosen. 

The  growth  of  the  town  was  slow,  due  largely  to  the  con- 
tinual wars  with  the  Indians.  After  1760  the  Indians  became 
less  troublesome  and  people  began  to  venture  back  three 
and  four  miles  from  the  salt  water,  and  the  population  of 
the  town  rapidly  increased.  The  rest  from  wars,  however, 
was  soon  interrupted  by  the  war  of  the  Revolution.  The 
inhabitants  of  the  town  engaged  with  one  voice  in  opposing 
the  earlist  acts  of  aggression  by  Great  Britain. 

At  an  early  meeting  on  the  20th  of  May  previous  to  the 
Declaration  of  Independence  the  citizens  voted  that  "Should 
the  Honourable  Congress  for  the  safety  of  the  united  Colo- 
nies declare  them  independent  of  the  kingdom  of  Great  Brit- 
ain that  inhabitants  of  this  town  do  solemnly  engage  with 
their  lives  and  fortunes  to  support  Congress  in  the  measure." 

After  the  war  was  over,  and  the  work  at  the  mills  and  on 
thefarms  once  more  in  progress  the  town  made  rapid  strides 
in  population  and  prosperity.  Ship  building  became  a 
prominent  industry  and  later  a  cotton  mill  was  erected. 
The  business  comprised  six  stores,  saw,  grist,  fulling,  card 
and  paper  mills,  jewelry,  clocks,  cabinets,  saddle,  chaise  and 
wagon  shops,  and  three  blacksmith  shops.  Two  tanneries, 
brick  yard,  ship  yard,  two  taverns  and  a  busy  stage  line. 


14  HISTORICAL 


INCORPORATION 

The  earliest  bounds  of  the  ancient  town  of  Westcustogo, 
or  North  Yarmouth,  were,  "beginning  at  the  sea  coast,  at  a 
white  rock,  adjoining  Falmouth,  N.  W.,  eight  miles,  then  N. 
E.  about  eleven  miles,  until  intersected  by  a  line  running  N. 
W.  from  the  mouth  of  the  Bungonug  river  and  from  the 
white  rock  and  the  mouth  of  the  river,  to  extend  S.  E.  to 
thesea."  By  these  lines  Mare  Point,  Merriconeag,Chebeague, 
and  alarge  number  of  minor  islands,  and  Small  Point  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Kennebec  river,  were  included  within  the  limits 
of  this  venerable  mother. 

Mare  Point  was  set  ofi  to  Brunswick  in  1739  and  Small 
Point  to  Georgetown  in  1741.  Merriconeag  and  the  islands 
adjacent  were  incorporated  as  Harpswell  in  1758.  Freeport 
was  set  off  and  incorporated  a  town  in  1789  (this  town  then 
included  Pownal  and  was  called  "Harrisickett")-  Cumber- 
land was  set  off  and  incorporated  in  1821  and  Yarmouth  in 
1849.  This  town  is  now  a  small  township  removed  from 
the  coast,  but  she  is  proud  of  her  thrifty  and  enterprising 
children. 

The  town  of  Cumberland  was  set  off  for  the  convenience 
of  its  citizens.  They  were  far  removed  from  the  center  of 
the  town,  which  was  then  of  considerable  extent,  and  peti- 
tioned for  their  separation,  in  the  spring  of  1820.

MILITARY  MATTERS 

The  military  history  of  the  towns  of  Cumberland  and 
North  Yarmouth  is  a  source  of  just  pride.  If  one  thing 
more  than  another  is  to  be  revered  and  commemorated, 
impressed  upon  the  minds  of  the  rising  generation,  that 
thing  is  the  record  of  names  and  deeds  of  men  who  faced 
the  dangers  of  the  battlefield  for  the  welfare  and  safety  of 
the  country.  Time  rolls  on  and  we  are  apt  to  forget  the 
value  of  the  service  rendered  by  the  soldier  in  war.  Each 
succeeding  generation  is  more  forgetful  of  these  things  than 
its  predecessor  unless  it  is  taught  to  revere  and  love  the 
memory  of  the  deeds  of  the  soldier.  It  should  be  in  the 
mind  of  each  father  and  each  mother  to  instill  into  the  mind 
of  the  youth  the  significance  of  the  inscriptions,  "Killed  at 
Gettysburg,"  "Wounded  at  Vicksburg,''  "died  in  Libby 
Prison,"  etc.    No  one  should  lose  the  opportunity  to  im-

press  upon  the  generation  to  which  he  belongs  and  the  one 
which  follows  the  responsibility  which  rests  upon  each  man. 

It  is  with  pleasure  that  we  attempt  to  give  the  names  of 
those  who  have  served  in  the  armies  of  the  United  States 
from  these  towns.

SCHOOL    ITEMS 

We  cannot  do  better  than  to  cast  a  glance  toward  the 
typical  common  school  as  known  in  Maine  in  the  early  days. 
Even  as  soon  as  our  forefathers,  almost  invariably  of  Puri- 
tan extraction,  had  located  themselves  in  the  forests  ol  the 
Pine  Tree  State  and  began  their  efforts  of  erecting  churches, 
they  made  provision  for  the  common  school.  They  in  com- 
mon with  us  of  today  considered  education  the  bulwark  of 
our  institutions,  the  institutions  for  the  establishment  of 
which  they  had  fought  and  bled.  They  knew  therefore,  bet- 
ter than  we,  how  much  depended  upon  the  proper  guidance 
of  the  newly  established  government.  They  saw  their  liber- 
ties and  property,  we  had  almost  said,  wrapt  up  in  the  future 
of  the  new  government  which  Washington  had  said  was  "one 


26  HISTORICAL 

today  and  thirteen  tomorrow."  Is  it  a  strange  thing  that 
these  people  who  so  well  understood  the  significance  of  these 
trying  j'ears,  should  so  thoroughly' grasp  at  the  thought 
that  in  the  education  of  the  masses  lay  their  only  hope  of 
ultimate  success?  No,  they  saw  well  their  duty,  and  as  pio- 
neers prepared  to  meet  it.  A  room  in  the  little  log  cabin 
became  the  university  of  the  wilderness  and  humble  as  was 
this  first  effort,  mighty  results  came  from  it.  From  out  of 
these  rough,  low-roofed  structures  walked  men  who  were  3^et 
to  meet  the  representatives  of  the  courts  of  Europe,  in  the 
battlefield,  in  diplomac}^,  and  in  scores  of  other  capacities 
from  which  they  were  emerged  unscathed.  This  system  of 
education  went  on  till  it  almost  became  a  necessary  thing 
for  a  man  to  reach  the  president's  chair  that  he  be  able  to 
present  a  career  begun  in  "The  Little  Red  Schoolhouse"  in 
the  backwoods  hamlet.  It  was  not  that  the  people  loved 
wealth  and  culture  less,  but  that  they  loved  the  more  the 
homely  virtues  inspired  by  the  healthy  atmosphere  of  the 
country.  And  as  we  look  back  today  over  the  progress  of 
our  school  system  we  dwell  with  pride  upon  the  record  it  has 
made.  But  this  system,  like  all  others,  was  expected  to  ad- 
vance and  it  has  advanced.  The  town  of  North  Yarmouth, 
in  common  with  other  towns,  reared  the  homely  structures 
on  the  hillsides  and  at  the  cross  roads,  hired  male  teachers 
at  $10  to  f  15  a  month,  and  female  teachers  at  75  cents  to 
f  1.50  a  week  and  this  with  the  "Board  Round"  provision. 

The  development  of  the  public  schools  of  the  towns  of 
Cumberland  and  North  Yarmouth  has  been  one  of  steady 
growth  and   advancement.     The  cause  of   education  was 


HISTORICAL  27 

greath^  assisted  in  1858  by  the  establish iiieut  of  Greely  In- 
stitute, which  succeeded  the  temporary,  local  high  school, 
and  has  given  to  the  town  an  advanced  institution  of  learn- 
ing which  provides  for  its  children  an  opportunity  of  lay- 
ing the  foundation  for  a  college  course,  or  of  fitting  for 
normal  work. 

The  Chebeague  Island  high  school  was  opened  in  April 
1902  for  the  purpose  of  giving  to  the  young  men  and  women 
of  this  isolated  locality  the  same  privileges  and  possibilities 
of  obtaining  an  education  as  are  enjoyed  by  those  in  more 
favored  localities.  This  school  opened  with  27  students  and 
has  made  very  satisfactory  advancement. 

The  town  of  Cumberland  has  a  school  fund  of  over 
$1300  which  produces  a  sufficient  dividend  each  year  to

Greely  Institute  was  founded  by  Hon.  Eliphalet  Greely, 
a  native  of  the  town,  who  bequeathed  .|7,000  to  erect  a 
building,  120,000  as  a  fund  for  its  support,  and  |1,000  to 
purchase  a  library.  The  selectmen  of  the  to^Yn  are  ex- 
officio  trustees.  The  principals  of  this  Institute  have  been: 
Thomas  J.  Emery,  1867-68;  Chas.  Chamberlain,  Isaac 
Quimby,  George  M.  Seiders,  W.  H.  Heramingway,  John  M.

should  be  made  of  the  work  of  Prof.  Fairfield  Whitney,  who 
remained  in  the  school  lor  several  years  and  was  a  popular 
and  successful  instructor.  The  school  has  always  done  f^ood 
work,  and  many  of  its  g;raduates  have  filled  positions  of

INDUSTRIAL  ACCOUNT 

SHIP  BUILDING 

Naturally  ship  building  was  an  early  occupation  since 
this  was  one  of  the  things  that  was  necessary  to  the  early 
settlement.  But  it  was  not  long  before  this  became  an  im- 
portant commercial  industry  and  the  town  of  North  Yar- 
mouth is  known  to  have  early  held  a  large  interest  in  navi- 
gation and  shipbuilding,  and  ably  supported  the  valued  rep- 
utation gained  by  her  early  workmen. 

Yarmouth  vessels  were  noted  for  their  thorough  con- 
struction, their  graceful  models  and  their  superior  sailing- 
qualities.  With  its  unrivaled  facilities  for  constructing  and 
floating  vessels  this  industry  was  one  of  the  mosb  profitable 
and  substantial  sources  of  wealth  to  the  place. 

These  vessels  were  built  not  only  at  the  water's  edge  but 
back  in  the  vicinity  of  Walnut  Hill  and  elsewhere,  in  the 
very  midst  of  the  growing  timber.    They  were  then  hauled 


HISTORICAL  29 

by  oxen  in  the  winter  down  to  the  Falls,  perhaps  a  distance 
of  five  or  six  miles,  and  deposited  upon  the  ice  in  the  river, 
or  upon  its  shores,  ready  for  the  "Spring  Openino;."  Samuel 
Chase  is  said  to  have  built  several  crafts  in  the  vicinity  of 
Walnut  Hill.  What  was  probably  the  last  vessel  built  there 
was  a  craft  of  40  or  50  tons  which  was  hauled  in  the  spring 
of  1843. 

The  old  ship  3'ards  of  Cumberland,  where  several  of  the 
older  residents  worked  at  shipbuilding-,  are  remembered  by 
many  of  younger  generatious.  W^e  find  mention  of  two 
brigs,  the  "  N.  M.  Haven"  of  405.98  tons  was  built  in  1863, 
and  the  "Woodside,"  609.31  tons  in  1866.  "The  Grape 
Shot,"  which  made  one  of  the  swiftest  trips  around  Cape 
Horn  that  is  on  record  was  also  built  here. 

PRESENT-DAY  INDUSTRIES 

The  mercantile  industries  now  followed  by  the  citizens  of 
Cumberland  and  North  Yarmouth  are  varied,  and  are  often 
of  a  different  nature  than  those  which  claimed  the  attention 
of  preceeding-  generations.  There  are  yet  a  half  dozen  saw 
mills  and  one  or  two  grist  mills  where  formerly  there  were 
two  or  three  times  that  number,  and  the  manufacture  of 
"shook"  and  staves  is  now  nearly  discontinued.  Ship  build- 
ing- is  but  a  memory,  and  a  source  of  just  pride  to  the  ven- 
ei-able  citizens  who,  during  the  days  of  their  3^outh,  and 
young-  manhood,  worked  twelve  hours  each  day  at  the  stern 
labor  which  produced  the  sailing  craft  that  was  recognized 
abroad  as  of  the  best  constructed  anywhere  on  the  Maine 
coast— or  on  the  Globe. 


30  HISTORICAL 

The  fertile  farms,  which,  extending-  some  distance  back 
from  the  coast,  have  the  peculiar  distinction  of  being  "rock- 
less",  are  generally  well  cultivated  and  repay  the  farmers  b}^ 
producing  good  crops  of  hay,  potatoes,  corn,  grain  and 
garden  truck.  The  soil  in  the  east  is  a  clayey  loam,  and 
except  for  trequent  erosions  is  generally  level.  In  the  west 
the  surface  is  somewhat  broken  by  granite  ledges.  Ha}"  and 
potatoes  are  shipped  by  railroad — of  which  these  towns 
have  exceptional  accommodations— and  many  acres  of  sweet 
corn  are  planted  for  the  canning  factory. 

But  farming  is  not  now  confined  to  agriculture,  for  hor- 
ticulture, stock  raising  and  dairying,  poultry  farming  and 
even  trout  farming  have  become  of  considerable  commercial 
importance.    These  we  will  take  up  more  full}'  later. 

On  Chebeague  and  the  other  islands  the  citizens  are 
generally  interested  in  fishing  or  are  in  the  Government 
employ.  Many  of  the  Islanders  are  expert  and  skilled  stone 
masons  whose  regular  work  is  the  construction  of  light- 
houses or  breakwaters,  generally  for  the  V.  S.  Government. 
The  fishermen  are  generally  thrifty  and  prosperous,  and 
partake  of  that  hearty  good  nature  characteristic  of  a  fish- 
ing community. 

In  detail, — the  sawmills  which  are  now  in  operation  are 
Hollis  Mountford's,  L.  H.  Wilson's  and  O.  S.  Thomes',  in 
Cumberland,  and  Isaac  E.  Hayes  in  North  Yarmouth. 

Mr  Mountford's  saw  and  grist  mill  is  at  West  Cumber- 
land on  the  brook  which  is  the  outlet  of  Goose  pond.  When 
Mr.  Montford  purchased  the  site  about  40  years  ago  it  was 
occupied  by  an  old  grist  mill.    He  built  a  new  mill  and  in- 


HISTORICAL  31 

creased  the  water  power  bj  improving-  the  dam.  There  was 
a  cardino:  mill  located  south  of  the  bridoe,  near  Mr.  Mount- 
ford's  mill.  The  carding  mill  was  run  by  a  Mr.  Purvis. 
"Grau<imother  Wilson"  as  she  is  called,  living-  at  West  Cum- 
berland, says  she  distinctly  remembers  going  there  to  get 
the  wool  carded,  and  spinning  there.  This  mill  has  entirely 
crumbled  to  decay  and  its  site  is  now  overgrown. 

Mr.  L.  H.  Wilson's  mill  on  the  samestream  is  on  the  site 
of  an  old  saw  mill  which  was  owned  and  run  by  many  of 
the  farmers  in  the  neighborhood,  each  running  a  certain 
length  of  time  each  season,  or  until  he  had  got  out  enough 
lumber  for  his  own  use.  The  old  mill  was  purchased  about 
1875  by  Mr.  Wilson  and  used  as  a  saw,  stave,  and  grist  mill. 
Mr.  0.  S.  Thomes  runs  a  steam  saw  and  grist  mill  at  Cum- 
berland Center.  This  was  established  by  Mr.  Thomes  about 
20  years  ago. 

There  is  also  an  old  stave  and  shook  mill  located  on  Cold 
Water  Stream.  This  was  built  by  Levi  H.  Morrill,  the  pres- 
ent owner,  in  1851  or  '55.  The  last  business  done  here  was 
about  10  years  ago;  at  that  time,  Mr.  Morrill  and  his  son 
did  (|uite  an  extensive  business  manufacturing  corn  cases. 

The  canning  factory,  located  at  Cumberland  Junction, 
was  established  in  1881,  by  ]\Ierrill  Brothers.  A  few  years 
later  it  was  sold  to  Wm.  R.  Wood,  of  Portland,  who  is  the 
present  proprietor,  but  runs  the  business  as  The  United 
Packers.  The  capacity  is  8000  cans  per  day.  Corn  is  can- 
ned extensively,  but  other  vegetables  and  fruit  are  handled. 
While  under  the  management  of  Merrill  Bros,  meat  was  also 
canned. 


32  HISTORICAL 

Poultry  farming  has  become  one  of  the  leading  industries 
of  this  locality,  being  followed  by  many  of  the  enterprising 
farmers,  among  whom  we  would  mention  Shaw  Bros.  (Win- 
field  and  Edgar),  Samuel  and  George  Porter,  R.  H.  Ander- 
son, Levi  Morrill  and  Geo.  Hall,  in  Cumberland;  Gardiner 
Leighton,  Fred  Merrill  and  J.  F.  Mountford  at  Walnut  Hill; 
and  Nathaniel  Shurtleff,  Harry  Dolloff  and  Sidney  Leighton, 
all  in  North  Yarmouth.  White  Wyandottes,  Plymouth 
rocks  and  Rhode  Island  reds  are  the  principal  breeds  kept. 
Many  eggs  are  shipped  for  hatching.  Shaw  Bros.'  poultry 
business  was  established  at  the  old  Shaw  homestead  at  West 
Cumb.  in  1895.  They  winter  about  600  hens  and  hatch  from 
1000  to  2000  chicks  each  season.  This  is  not  the  largest 
establishment  in  town,  but  we  cite  it  as  a  typical  one.  Many 
others  whose  names  we  have  not  mentioned  here  are  also 
giving  considerable  attention  to  this  valuable  industry. 

There  are  in  Cumberland  four  large  greenhouse  plants 
which  are  doing  a  big  business  for  the  wholesale  trade.  In 
1888,  Chase  Brothers  erected  their  first  houses  at  the  old 
homestead.  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  industry.  In 
1893  they  dissolved  and  Arno  established  his  large  plant  at 
the  Center.  He  now  has  10,000  feet  of  glass.  Frank  Chase, 
the  other  brother,  began  a  new  plant  near  the  old  one,  mov- 
ing the  old  greenhouses,  and  now  has  about  8,000  ft.  of  glass. 
C.  H.  Jenkins  established  his  houses  in  1900  and  has  around 
6,000ft. and  Howard  C.  Blanchard,  who  built  his  houses  last 
year,  has  over  4,000  ft.  of  glass. 

These  florists  give  their  attention  almost  exclusively  to 
carnations,  which  find  a  readv  market  in  most  of  the  cities 


HISTORICAL  33 

of  INfaine,  especially  Portland,  Augusta  and  Lewiston. 

The  industry  that  we  shall  mention  last,  not  because  it 
is  least  deserving*  of  mention,  but  because  it  was  the  last 
"special"  to  be  taken  up,  is  trout  farming.  Two  years  ago 
Mr.  Wm.  H.  Rowe  created  Roland  and  Rowe's  ponds  by 
building  successive  dams  across  the  valley  of  Millbrook 
stream  on  his  farm.  This  stream  has  its  sources  in  numer- 
ous and  powerful  springs  on  the  same  farm,  which  fact  gives 
Mr.  Rowe  entire  control  of  the  flow.  He  is  now  building  a 
stone  dam  farther  down  stream  for  the  purpose  of  making 
another,  to  be  called  Red  Rock  pond.  If  stories  relating  to 
fish  are  to  be  believed  these  ponds  are  stocked  with  over 
5000  trout,  and  one  13J4  inches  long  was  taken  out  not  long- 
since  by  a  gentleman  who  appreciates  a  good  haul.  The 
fishing  is  let  out  "by  the  pound"  and  is  found  to  be  as  lively 
as  that  for  which  many  disciples  of  Walton  take  long  jaunts 
into  the  wilderness. 


CHURCH  AFFAIRS 

CONGREGATIONAL    ORGANIZATIONS 

"The  Old  Meeting  house  by  the  Ledge"  which  was  erected 
before  the  town  of  North  Yarmouth  was  formed  in  1730,  was 
the  tenth  church  to  be  organized  in  the  territory  now  form- 
ing the  state  of  Maine.  This  organization  was  for  many 
years  the  leading  power,  and  this  edifice  the  seat  of  govern- 
ment for  the  early  township. 

After  the  dana'cr  from  Indians  became  nominal  the  set- 


C3 


34  HISTORICAL 

tiers  began  to  move  back  from  the  shore  and  to  establish  tor 
themselves  homes  in  the  heretofore  unbroken  wilderness. 
Nor  did  they  foro-et  theii'  devotion  to  God,  for  we  find  that 
the  Congregational  churches  of  both  Cumberland  and  Wal- 
nut Hill,  were  formed  by  these  pioneers. 

The  first  daughter  of  the  mother  church  was  formed  at 
Harpswell,  in  1753,  and  the  second  in  Freeport,  in  1789. 
The  third  was  the  cliurcli  at  Cumberland  Center.  This 
church  had  its  origin  in  a  revival.  Many  who  had  not  been 
interested  in  the  church  became  its  at-tive  supporters.  In 
1791,  $100  was  raised  "to  settle  the  gospel  in  the  north- 
west part  of  the  town."  A  Mr  Gregg,  and  also  a  Mr.  Porter, 
were  employed  to  preach  alternately  at  "Tuttle  Road,"  as 
Cumberland  Center  was  then  designated,  and  at  Walnut  Hill, 
now  North  Yarmouth.  For  some  reason,  neither  of  these 
candidates  remained  permanently.  In  October,  1792,  Mr. 
Itufus  Anderson,  a  native  of  Londonderry,  N.  H.,  and  a  grad- 
uate of  Dartmouth,  began  to  preach  alternately  at  these  two 
])laces. 

Previous  to  this,  however,  a  move  had  been  made  to 
build  a  meeting  house  at  "Tuttle  Road"  and  the  house  was 
erected  during  the  summer  of  1792.  The  "pew  ground"  had 
been  sold  to  the  members.  Ou  January  7,  1793,  twenty- 
nine  owners  in  the  house  met  and  formed  themselves  into  a 
"proprietary,"  or  company,  "to  carry  on  and  finish  the  new 
meeting  house  now  standing."  The  house  does  not  seem  to 
have  been  finished  until  1798.  This  edifice  stood  nearly  on 
the  site  of  the  present  one.  It  was  nearly  square,  with  a  hip 
roof  and  a,  modest  steeple  on  the  central  })oint.     It  was  pro- 


HISTORICAL  35 

vided  with  <z,alleries  around  three  sides  of  the  iuterior.  The 
pews  were  square,  after  the  fashion  of  those  days. 

As  soon  as  the  new  house  of  worship  was  up,  and  long 
beforeitvvas  finished, a  new  church  organization  wasformed. 
Twenty  male  members  of  the  first  church,  having  obtained  a 
dismission  for  that  purpose,  together  with  Rev.  Tristram 
Giiman,  pastor  of  the  First  Church,  and  Mr.  Anderson,  met 
on  Sept.  yd,  1793,  at  the  home  of  INIr.  Bethuel  Wood,  in 
what  is  now  North  Yarmouth  and  organized  "The  Second 
Congregational  Chuich  in  No  Yarmouth.''  Bntit  wasfound 
necessary  to  incorporate  a  parish,  which  was  done  in  1794, 
and  the  society  including  Walnut  Hill  district  received  the 
name  of  '"The  Northwest  Congregational  Society  of  North 
Yarmouth."  There  was  no  meeting  house  at  Walnut  Hill, 
though  the  frame  of  one  had  been  raised,  but  regular  services 
were  held  in  the  "Great  School  House." 

Rev.  Mr.  Anderson  served  the  parish  until  Oct  ,  1804, 
when  he  was  dismissed.  During  his  pastorate  he  had  received 
80  members  into  the  church.  It  was  his  hands  that  planted 
the  noble  elms  now*  overshadowing  the  village  streets.  These 
stand  as  visible  tokens  of  his  love  and  f]delit3\ 

The  church  was  for  several  years  without  a  pastor.  In 
180G  many  of  its  members  were  dismissed  to  unite  with  oth- 
ers in  forming  the  Walnut  Hill  church.  Since  this  time  these 
two  organizations  have  been  separate,  but  have  ever  been 
on  the  most  cordial  terms.  On  Oct.  22,  1806,  Rev.  Amasa 
Smith  was  installed  pastor.  His  work  was  especiall}^  suc- 
cessful and  he  remained  with  the  church  until  May  1,  1820, 
when  he  was  dismissed  at  his  own  request. 


36  HISTORICAL 

In  1820,  Maine  having  become  a  state,  and  Cumberland 
about  to  be  incorporated,  the  name  of  this  chiircli  was  aojain 
changed  to  "The  Congregational  Church  of  Cumberland." 

Mr.  Joseph  P.  Fessenden  preached  for  some  time  follow- 
iag  Mp.  Smith's  dismissal,  but  did  nob  become  pastor.  Rev. 
Samuel  Stone  was  the  next  pastor,  being  installed  May  9, 
1821, and  remained  until  Nov.  21,1829.  Rev.  Isaac  Weston 
succeeded  him  in  1830.  The  next  summer  the  people  wor- 
shipped in  a  new  barn,  the  meeting  house  having  been  taken 
down  to  be  rebuilt.  The  present  meeting  house  was  erected 
during  the  summer,  and  dedicated  Nov.  8  (1831).  Rev.T.S. 
Perry,  in  his  Historical  Address  delivered  at  the  one  hun- 
dredth anniversary  celebration  of  this  church,  said  "It  Avas 
not  a  spirituous,  but  a  spiritual  inspiration  which  animated 
its  builders."  At  the  raising  of  the  frame  the  church  was 
consecrated  by  prayer  before  a  timber  was  lifted,  and,  con- 
trary to  custom,  no  liquor  was  passed  around.  Under  Mr. 
Weston's  care  there  was  an  unprecedented  religious  awaken- 
ing. In  1832,  the  church  attained  its  greatest  numerical 
strength,  having  then  238  members.  Mr.  Weston  was  dis- 
missed at  his  own  request,  June  10,  1840,  alter  a  long  and 
very  successful  pastorate.  He  labored  in  other  fields,  but 
returned  to  Cumberland  where  he  died  June  20,  1870,  at  83 
years  of  age. 

Rev.  Joseph  Blake  was  the  next  pastor,  serving  for  a 
long  period  of  years.  During  the  early  days  of  his  pastorate, 
the  present  parsonage  was  built.  This  is  a  large  and  well 
constructed  brick  house,  and  was  considered,  when  com- 
pleted, to  be  the  best  house  in  town.    The  shade  trees  along 


HISTORICAL  37 

the  street  front,  and  in  other  public  places,  were  set  by  him, 
and  many  fruit  trees  on  the  parsonage  lot.  In  1859,  he 
was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Ebenezer  S.  Jordan.  He  received 
about  44  new  members  on  confession  ot  faith.  Soon  after 
his  coming:  the  meeting  house  was  remodeled  at  an  expense 
of  11500,  a  pipe  organ  procured,  costing  |1000  to  $1200 
and  the  bell  purchased  and  hung.  He  remained  until  1870. 
His  successors,  with  the  dates  of  their  arrival  and  dismissal 
have  been  as  follows:  Rev.  Uriah  Small,  1870-71;  Rev.  G. 
B.  Richardson,  1871-74;  Rev.  T.  S.  Perry,  1874-86;  Rev. 
E.  S.  Jordan  preached  again  for  two  years,  1886-88;  Rev. 
Dan'l  Green,  1888-92;  Rev.  Frank  W.  Davis,  1892— 
remained  until  about  five  years  ago,  when  the  present  pas- 
tor. Rev.  P.  E.  Miller,  accepted  the  care  of  the  church.  The 
church  is  in  a  prosperous  condition.  The  present  member- 
ship is  126,  48  males  and  78  females.  There  is  a  successful 
Christian  Endeavor  Society  of  about  20  active  members. 
The  Sunday  School  has  about  150  members,  with  an  aver- 
age attendance  of  about  half  that  number. 

In  1885,  Union  Hall  was  given  to  the  parish  by  Mr.  Oren 
S.  Thomas,  to  be  used  as  a  vestry — a  very  generous,  timely 
and  useful  gift.  Improvements  have  been  made  from  time 
to  time  on  the  church  edifice.  It  is  now  a  comfortable  and 
convenient  place  of  worship  and  a  venerable  landmark,  a 
testimony  to  the  faith  of  our  fathers  and  the  zeal  and  piety 
of  many  successful  pastors  and  workers. 

THE    CaURCH    IN    NORTH    YARMOUTH 

During  the  year  1794,  the  meeting  house  was  built  at 
Walnut  Hill,  in  what  is  now  North  Yarmouth.    The  arrange- 


38  HISTORICAL 

ment  of  one  church  and  one  parish  oro^anization  with  two 
preaching  places,  here  and  at  the  Tuttle  Road,  continued  till 
the  year  1806,  when  a  new  parish  was  formed  at  Walnut 
Hill.  On  September  30,  1800,  a  church  was  instituted  com- 
posed of  eight  male  members,  coming  by  letter  from  the 
First  Church  in  North  Yarmouth,  and  six  from  the  Second 
Church.  Soon  after,  fifteen  female  members  from  the  two 
parent  churches  were  added  by  letter,  together  with  quite  a 
large  accession  upon  confession  of  faith;  and,  as  the  early 
history  tells  us,  "the  new  church  presented  a  flourishing 
aspect."  Rev.  John  Button  was  installed  pastor  upon  the 
day  of  its  organization.  This  church  is  now  denominated 
The  Congregational  Church  of  North  Yarmouth,  Maine. 

The  first  meeting  house,  built  in  1704,  was  taken  down 
and  the  present  edifice  erected  in  1827  and  extensively 
repaired  in  1878.  The  vestry,  upon  an  adjoining  lot,  was 
erected  about  the  year  1807,  by  the  Ladies'  Aid  Society,  and 
with  the  lot,  was  deeded  to  the  parish  in  1879.  The  parson- 
age, consisting  of  a  house  and  stable  with  three  acres  of  til- 
lage land,  was  the  property  and  residence  of  the  fifth  pastor 
of  the  church— Rev.  Caleb  Hobart,  who  just  before  his 
decease,  conveyed  it  to  the  parish  as  a  home  for  succeeding 
ministers. 

The  following  is  the  list  of  ministers  who  have  served 
this  church,  as  published  in  its  manual  in  the  year  1900: 

John  Button,  installed  Oct.  1,  1806,  to  Aug.  8,  1814; 
Timothy  Hilliard,  1815,  to  1816;  O.  C.  Whitton,  Sept.  29, 
1817,  to  July  21,  1822;  Nathaniel  Chapman,  supplied  six 
months  in   1823;  Caleb   Hobart,  Bee.  2,   1823,  to  Bee.  9,

METHODIST  ORGANIZATIONS 

WEST  CUMBERLAND  M.   E.   CHURCH 

The  church  edifice  now  occupied  by  the  Methodist  soci- 
ety in  the  western  part  of  Cumberland,  was  built  in  1812  as 
a  Uuion  Meeting  House.  This  was  occupied  lor  several 
years  by  different  denominations,  each  furnishiug  their  own 
preacher  at  their  stated  time.  A  class  was  formed  in  1813, 
and  in  1826  the  present  Methodist  society  was  organized, 
and  since  that  time,  has  never  been  without  a  preacher, 
though  not  always  having  a  regular  pastor.  The  parish 
has  been  united  at  different  times  with  several  of  those  sur- 
rouuding,  in  maintaining  a  pastor,  and  is  now  united  with 
the  church  at  South  Gray.  The  parsonage  which  stands  in 
North  Falmouth,  just  across  the  Cumberland  line,  was  built 
while  Rev,  J.  S.  Rice  was  pastor  in  1844;  this  is  the  property

of   the  parish  and  is  an  acceptable  home  for  the  pastor  in 
charge.    The  church  was  rebuilt  in  1848. 

The  lollovving  is  a  list  of  those  who  have  served   the 
church  as  pastors  or  local  preachers  since  1844,  at  which

CUMBERLAND   AND   FALlSrOTJTH   M.    10.   CHURCH 

The  two  societies  near  the  Foreside,  which  are  united 
under  one  pastor,  were  included  in  the  Falmouth  and  Cum- 
berland Circuit,  under  the  care  of  Rev.  J.  Taylor,  a 
local  preacher.  In  1842  Rev.  Phineas  Higgins  was 
stationed  here  and  these  two  became  a  separate  charge. 
The  church  at  Cumberland  was  erected  about  1882.  The 
one  located  on  the  town  line,  at  Falmouth  Foreside,  so 
called,  was  erected  about  1881.  Previous  to  occupying 
these  buildings  the  services  were  held  in  the  local  school- 
houses.  The  new,  neat-looking,  little  church,  previously 
mentioned,  was  built  during  the  pastorate  of  Rev.  Eleazar 
Hutchinson,  who  remained  with  the  church  for  three  years. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  those  who  have  had  charge  of 
this  circuit:  Phineas  Higgins,  A.  J,  Webster,  Joseph  Hawkes,

CHEBEAGUE    ISLAND    M.    E.    CUUHCH 

Rev.  Edward  M.  Whittle  came  to  Long  Island  in  1808, 
and  preached  on  the  Island  and  on  Chebeague  for  a  time. 
Mr.  Stephen  Bennett  was  converted  under  his  preaching,  and 
himself  became  a  local  preacher.  Mr.  Bennett  preached  for 
many  years  on  Chebeague  and  other  islands  of  the  bay. 

In  1828,  Rev.  James  Carrutliers,  a  Congregational  mis- 
sionary, was  sent  to  the  islands.  A  great  revival  followed 
his  preaching.  In  May  of  the  same  year,  Moses  Rollins,  a 
Methodist  preacher,  came  to  Chebeague.  Under  the  earnest 
labors  of  these  three  ministers,  most  of  the  people  on  the 
Islands  were  converted.  In  1829,  Jonas  Weston  and  David 
Hill,  came  to  Chebeague,  and  preached  for  a  time.  In  the 
fall  of  1889,  Richard  Lombard  came  here  and  remained  two 
years.  Up  to  this  time  the  Island  had  been  connected  with 
Freeport. 

In  1840,  the  Islands  were  formed  into  a  Mission,  called 
"Casco  Bay  Islands  Mission,"  and  supplied,  most  of  the 
time,  by  preachers  Irom  Conference.  In  1855,  a  meeting 
house  was  erected.  A  disagreement  occurred  in  regard  to 
the  location,  and  afaction  withdrew  and  built  another  house 
of  worship,  organizing  a  Protestant  Methodist  Society. 
Since  that  time  the  old  society  has  been  regularly  supplied. 


42  HISTORICAL 

In  1885-6,  under  the  pastorate  of  Rev.  John  Collins,  an 
excellent  parsonage  was  erected.  In  1866,  the  total  mem- 
bership was  129. 

Those  who  have  served  this  church  as  pastors  since  1879 
are:    Alpha  Turner,  1879-80;  Alvah  Cook,  1881-82;  True 

Whittier,   1883-4;    John  Collins,  1885-6; ;  James

EAST  NORTH  YARMOUTH  M.   E.   CHURCH 

The  records  of  the  early  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in 
North  Yarmouth  have  been  destroyed,  thus  rendering  a  full, 
connected  account  impossible.  The  early  church  here  was 
connected  with  many  surrounding  stations  during  its  his- 
tory. In  1815  the  first  class  was  formed,  Israel  Noyes, lead- 
er, and  his  seven  children  members.  The  first  house  of 
worship  was  built  in  1831.  In  1833  this  church  was  con- 
nected with  Freeport  circuit.  In  1872  North  Yarmouth  was 
connected  with  Pow^nal  and  South  Auburn. 

In  1830  Rev.  Benj.  Burnham  built  a  house  and  passed 
his  years  of  superannuation  here.  This  house  was  purchased 
by  the  Methodist  society  for  a  parsonage.  Mr.  Ammi  Lor- 
ing,  a  wealthy  farmer  of  this  place,  was  a  liberal  supporter 
of  this  church  and  of  every  benevolent  cause.  He  be- 
queathed about  f  21,000  to  Methodist  institutions. 

Pastors  since  1878  have  been:  Daniel  Waterhouse,  A.  C. 
Trafton,  Benj.  F.  Pease,  Geo.  Hoyt,  W.  H.  Foster,  J.  F. 
Keith,  H.  A.  Pease,  M.  K.  Mabry,  A.  C.  Brooks, T.  D.Davies, 
J.  H.  E.  Richard,  James  Nixon,  F.  Grovenor,  and  L.  H. 
Bean,  the  present  pastor. 

The  society  of  Uuiversalists  which  occupied  the  old  Uni- 
versalist  church  at  West  Cumberland  has  now  become  ex- 
tinct, the  church  edifice  being  used  for  a  hall  for  local  gath- 
erings or  entertainments.

OLD  HOME  ASSOCIATION— NORTH   YARMOUTH 

EDcouraged  by  the  home-coming-  of  her  many  sons  and 
daughters,  of  whose  noble  record  she  is  justly  proud,  the 
town  of  North  Yarmouth  has  become  the  home  of  an  Old 
Home  Association.  This  was  organized  August  (>,  1902. 
At  the  last  gathering,  which  was  held  at  the  Walnut  Hill 
Church,  Wednesday,  August  17,  1904,  was  assembled  many 
who  have  made  their  homes  beyond  the  borders  of  their 
mother  state,  aud  who  have  made  for  themselves  places 
and  names  which  do  honor  to  the  noble  precept  and  example 
of  their  ancestry.  A  day  of  enjoyment  and  the  renewing  of 
old  acquaintances  was  participated  in  by  all.  Dinuer  was 
provided  in  the  vestry.  Auld  Lang  Syne  was  sung  as  the 
closing  hymn,  after  the  officers  were  chosen  for  the  folio  wing- 
year.  We  regret  to  say  we  are  unable  to  publish  the  newdy 
elected  officers.  Those  for  1903-4  were  Rev.  J.  S.  Richards, 
Pres.;  Chas.  L.  Dunn,  1st  Vice  Pres.;  Gardiner  Leighton,  2nd 
Vice  Pres:;  Chas.  S.  Sweetser,  Sec.  and  Treas.;  Chas.  A.  Allen,

CUMBERLAND   FARMER'S  CLUB 

The  Cumberland  Farmer's  Club  was  organized  at  Cumb-

terests of  the  surrounding  agricultural  section.  This  organ- 
ization is  participated  in  by  North  Yarmouth,  Yarmouth, 
Falmouth,  and  Windham,  as  well  as  the  citizens  of  the  im-

mediate  locality.  The  organization  was  moved  to  West 
Cumberland  soon  after  its  organization.  The  exhibition 
grounds  and  trotting  park  is  situated  between  the  Center 
village  and  West  Cumberland.  The  exhibition  and  fair  is 
held  for  two  days  each  season,  and  by  its  receipts,  together 
with  the  State  stipend  received  annually  for  that  purpose, 
pays  its  expenses  and  the  premiums,  which  are  an  important 
feature  of  the  club. 

The  present  officers  of  the  organization  are:  Pres.  C.  A.

Census,   1904 


The  population  ol  the  towns  of  Cumberland  and  North 
Yarmouth  has  been  arranged  in  families  where  that  arrange- 
ment has  been  possible.  In  these  families,  in  addition  to  the 
resident  living  members,  the  names  of  the  non-resident  mem- 
bers are  included.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  this 
plan  does  not  include  the  names  of  all  former  residents 
of  this  town,  as  the  names  of  the  non-residents  appear 
only  when  one  or  both  the  parents  are  still  living  in  the 
town.  After  the  name  of  each  non-resident  will  be  found 
the  present  address,  when  such  address  has  been  given  to  us. 
The  non-residents  are  indicated  by  the   (*). 

In  case  a  daughter  in  a  family  has  married,  her  name 
taken  in  marriage  will  appear  after  her  given  name  in  paren- 
thesis (        ),  preceded  by  a  small  (m). 

Following  the  names  of  the  population  is  the  occu- 
pation. To  designate  the  occupations  we  have  used  the 
more  common  abbreviations  and  contractions.  Some  of 
these  iollow:  Farmer — far;  carpenter— car;  railroad  ser- 
vice—R  R  ser;  student,  a  member  of  an  advanced  institution 
of  learning — stu;  pupil,  a  member  of  a  lower  grade  of  schools 
— pi;  housework — ho;  laborer — lab;  physician  and  surgeon —
