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.

\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-

8 HISTORICAL.

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

HISTORICAL. 9

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-

HISTORICAL. 11

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-

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

CHAPTER II.

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.

CHAPTER III.

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-

Tliis name was sup;u'este(l Ijv Coh Porter. 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-

ACT OF INCORPORATION.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Tn tlie year of onr Lord one thousand seven hundred and
ninety-four. An Act to incorporate the plantation of
Sandy River witli the inliabitants thereof into a town 1)y
the name of Farmington.

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.

22 HISTORICAL.

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-

26 HISTORICAL.

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

HISTORICAL. 31

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

32 HISTORICAL.

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

Hayden well known throughout Xew Enc^land at the time wc

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

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

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.

CHAPTER VH.

From the Close of the War of 1812 to 1840.

General Depression — Cold Fever — Ohio Emigration — Separa-
tion from Massachusetts — Conventions — Final Vote —
Freshet of 1829 — Early Temperance Movements — Newspa-
per— Organization of Franklin County, 1838.

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.

First Mail Route — First Postmaster — Railroad Meeting, 1845
— Railroad Meeting, 1847 — Survey — Negotiation with the
Androscoggin Railroad — Road Laid to W^est Farmington,
1859 — Extension to Center Village, 1870 — The Narrow
Guage Railroad to Northern Part of the County.

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.

CHAPTER X.

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

$55,950-

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.

62 HTSTORTCAL.

We .give in the followino". the names of the la\v\ers who ha\(^
practiced in J^'arniing'ton, and if we had sufficient s])ace at our
disposal would give short sketches of each one. 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. The
names follow: Dr. Thos. Flint, 1829; Dr. Lafayette Perkins,
1836; Dr. John M. French, 1836; Dr. Wiliam C. Staples, 1840;

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

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."

We are agent for many Specialties that we sell at the same low prices.

We are headquarters for Drugs, Chemicals, Toilet Articles, Syringes of
all kinds, Hot Water Bags, Sponges, Chamois Skins, Fine Perfumes,
Choice Confectionery, Cough Cures, Blood Purifiers, Head Ache Cures, Lini-
ments, Cameras, Kodaks and their supplies, and many other articles that we
have not space to enumerate.

We want to make money but we are in no hurry about it. Our idea is
to sell realiable things only and to satisfy in every way those who favor us
with their trade.

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.
