Mechanic Falls Town Register

. 1 904 .

Early Settlement and Incorporation.

It was the village of Mechanic Falls that made the
town of Mechanic Falls, and its territory was a part of
ancient Bakertuwn. The name of this plantation had
been changed in 1795, when it was incorporated as the
93rd town and named Poland. There is a difference of
opinion as to the origin of the name. Some say it was
named after the famous Indian chief Poland; some after
the country in Europe and some after the ancient hymn-
melody. In 1802 Poland was divided and the portion on
the eastern side of the Little Androscoggin River was in-
corporated on February 18th, of that year as the 129th
town and named Minot. This latter portion was sub-
divided in 1852 and the town of Auburn formed, which
has since become a city. The territory of the town of
Danville which was annexed to Auburn February 26,
1807, had been set off from Poland territory in 1852.

6 HISTORICAL

That portion of Bakertown now occupied by the town
of Mechanic Falls was the last portion of its territory to
be settled, and was made np of about equal portions of
the towns of Poland and Minot. It was the water power
of the Little Androscoggin that attracted settleis. This
river is about forty miles long and the area of its basin is
280 square miles, discharging about 10,020,000,000 cubic
feet of water. It is variable, according to the season, as
to the quantity of water discharged and this inequality
is adjusted by the use of the numerous ponds for storage
purposes. There are two falls in the river within the
territory of Mechanic Falls, one at Page's Mills, of four-
teen feet fall within a distance of fifteen hundred feet
with. a volume of 17,000 cubic feet of water per minute,
and one at the village proper of thirty-seven feet in a
distance of nine hundred and fifty feet, with a volume of
20,000 cubic feet of water per minute and a velocity of
current of ninety-six feet per minute. There are
twenty-one ponds above the village with an area of
twenty-eight square miles, all of which can be used for
storage purposes.

W here the beautiful village of Mechanic Falls is now
located was but an unbroken wilderness until the year
1820 when Josiah Jordan, in company with others came
from Poland Corner for the purpose of looking out a
route for a highway to render communication with the
people of Minot more convenient.

It was late in 1823, while the land was still covered
with a heavy forest, that Isaiah and Luther Perkins with
Captain James Farris of Hebron, erected a saw mill on

HISTORICAL 7

what was then the Poland side of the river. This mill
was soon burned and another was built, owned in part,
in connection with the above named persons, by a Mr.
Smith of Portland. This was also burned and another
was built which stood until 1867, when it was taken down
to be re-placed by a paper mill. A small lumber mill
was also erected on the Minot side by Aseph Churchill
and a grist mill by Isaiah Perkins. Mr. Perkins was the
earliest to settle in the village.

The first dweUing house was erected in 1828 by Dean
Andrews, who worked in the mills, on what is now
Pleasant Street near the site of the residences of 0. B.
Dwinal. The same year Isaiah Perkins erected a barn
on what is now Main Street, nearly opposite the Metho-
dist church, and the following year a house near by,
these are still standing, and the oldest buildings in the
village. The first building on the Poland side was erect-
ed by Luther Perkins very nearly on the site of the
Grand Trunk Depot. The first store was erected by
Isaiah Perkins on what is now Post Office Square near
where Perry's Block recently stood.

Capt. Jacob Dwinal built the third house in Mechanic
Falls village, the house still stands; and the brick yard
which he established, the first in town, is still in active
operation.

An old kitchen clock, owned by Mrs. Mason, was
the first one of its kind to be brought here. This clock
was originally owned by her grandfather, Richard G.Foss
who we are told, was the third settler. He built his
house where Merrill's millinery store now stands.

8 HISTORICAL

The growth of the village was at first slow as but
very few workmen w«re needed in the lumber mills of
the early years. The first great impetus to growth was
made by the establishment of the Atlantic & St. Law-
rence Railroad, now the Grrand Trunk, and its completion
to this point in 18-1:9, made a boom for the town. People
fiocked in and the village grew rapidly. The next year
the railroad passed on to South Paris and the bubble
burst. It has been paper making that has been of per-
manent value to the village and made it what it is. The
first mill was built in 1851 by Ebenezer Drake and Ezra
Mitchell. Mitchell's part was soon purchased by Oliver
B. Dwinal and this firm carried on business until it was
sold to A. C. Dennison & Co. in 1866. In 1851 the last
named company bought out Messrs. Perkins, Dunham,
Moore and Waterhouse who had succeeded the original
proprietors, on the Poland side and began the manufac-
ture of paper, which has been continued with some
changes of ownership until the present time.

Mechanic Falls is not a designed town. It happened
by chance. For many years it had no name. Dr. Jacob
Tewksbury, a famous physician half a century ago in
Oxford, who was called to officiate at the birth of the
first child born in Mechanic Falls (Isaiah Andrews, son
of Deacon Andrews, the first resident), called the place
' 'Jericho" from his bitter experience on this trip occuring
in the night and causing him to travel over rough logging
roads for seven miles. It bore this name for some time.
In early times, it is said, that it took a good deal of grog
to run the place and for this reason the name "Jericho"

HISTORICAL 9

was succeeded by "Groggy Harbor;-" but the popular
name was "Bog Falls" which clung to it until 1841, when
a post office was established and at the suggestion of the
first postmaster, Samuel F. Waterman, it was called
Mechanics' Falls, which was changed to Mechanic Falls
in 1887 at the suggestion of postmaster Frank A. Millett.

The village being situated in two towns found that
its interests could not be served as well as they ought to
be and effort was made in 1889 to have the two sideis
incorporated, that a better system of police and fire pro-
tection could be inaugurated and better schools estab-
lished. Many were opposed to this. The legislature
of 1889 granted a charter for this purpose with the
provision that it must be accepted by a majority of the
voters on both sides. This charter was defeated by the
lack of six votes on the Poland side. On February 29,
1891, the Poland side was incorporated under a charter
granted by the legislature that winter, when it in-
augurated the plan of a village divided against itself. This
did not meet with the satisfaction of the larger portion
of the citizens and a petition was presented to the legis-
lature of 1893 to set off the following defined portions of
the towns of Poland and Minot and form the town of
Mechanic Falls. After a severe struggle this act was
passed March 22 1893. The town limits are as follows:

Beginning at a point in Gardiner brook (so called) on
to Oxford town line where said brook enters the town of
Minot; thence following said Oxford town line to Winter
broDk (so called) in the town of Poland; following the line
of said brooktothe road to Winter bridge, (so called)thence

lo HISTORICAL

following the line of said road leading to Mechanic Falls
to Cousins brook (so called); thence following the line of
said Cousins brook (so called); to Waterhouse brook (so
called); thence continuing from said Waterhouse brook
to the lot line at the south-westerly corner of the Alansou
Briggs Placf^ in Poland; thence continuing; on said lot to
the Little Androscoggin River; thence up the line of said
river to a point where Bog Brook (so called) enters the
same; thence up said Bog brook to Gardiner brook (so
called); then^.e up the line of said Gardiner brook to the
point of beginning on Oxford line.

PIGEON HILL.

So far this history has been confined, almost exclu-
sively, to the territory occupied by the village of Mechanic
Falls; but there is a part of the tow^n, known as Pigeon
Hill, which is purely an agricultural community. To be
sure there is a stretch of farming country up the valley
of the little Androscoggin and another on that eminence
known as Mount Hunger, but these sections have been
built up by the village and largely dependent upon it.
Pigeon Hill was settled before the village and is the only
portion of the town which has the appearance of an-
tiquity.

The first settlers on Pigeon Hill were Jabez True,
and Capt. Day, who came from New Gloucester in 1779
or 1780, and made an opening on what is known as the
A. C. Dennison farm and for many years these were the
only settlers. From 1790 to 1795 quite a number of set-
tlers came from New Gloucester and Poland Empire.

HISTORICAL . II

Jabez True was born in New Gloucester in 1771 and
married Hannah Jackson of Poland. This family has
perhaps been the most prominent on the hill. Families
in those days were large and there was one singular thing
about them — the usual number of children seemed to be
twelve and there were twelve in this family. Their
children were, Sally, Jabez, John, Elizabeth, Hannah,
Moses, Rocksyllania, Miriam, Abagail, Otis, Rebecca and
Daniel W. They were an industrious family and several
of them gained distinction in the mercantile world. The
fine old mansion was built in 1802, which at the death
of Jabez, descended to his son, Daniel W. and after to
his only son Frank D.

Captain Ripley cleared the next above the True farm,
occupied for many years by Alden Chandler and after-
wards by S. N. Haskell. Captain Ripley, came from
Plympton, Massachusetts, and brought with him a negro
slave, Black Joe, or Joe Prince, as he was called, the
only slave ever owned within the limits of the town of
MechanicFalls.

Jacob Strout took up a part of the same lot with
Captain Ripley. He married Salley Bray, of the Empire
and left quite a familv of children (viz.) Sally, Joshua,
Nabby, Jacob, Joseph, Nathaniel, Cyrena, Hobert, Adon-
iram, Cynthia and William. Mr. Strout met with a
painful accident while clearing his land. In fastening a
chain around a log he wished to haul, the oxen became
frightened and run to the house and the hook of the
chain caught in the fleshy part of the leg and he was
dragged after the oxen. He very narrowly escaped

12 HISTORICAL

death and was lame ever after.

Eben Marble took the next lot west of the Ripley
farm and came with his bride, Sarah Cash of Cape Eliza-
beth, in 1790. He lived here until 1812 when he enlisted
as a soldier in the war then raging between this country
and England, went to Burlington, Vermont, and died
there.

Among the prominent families of the section are
the Dennings. George and Simeon, brothers, came from
Salem, Massachusetts, in 1791 or 1792 and took lots on
the hill. George cleared several sections of land and
built first a log house on what is known as the Haley
Pulsifer farm, which being burned, caused him to
buy the lot west and to erect a building on the farm now
owned by his grandson, J. K Denning. Simeon made
several clearings, lived in several places on the hill and
in 1830 moved to Shirley, Maine, where he died. Both
of these men left large families who have been prominent
in bhis section. George married Elenel Rollins of New
Gloucester, by whom he had twelve children as follows;
Samuel, Stephen, Hannah, Ruth, Ruth 2d, Basheby,
George, Job, Moses, Rhoda, James and Jacob. Simeon
Denning married Rebecca Chickering and had eleven
children; Simeon, Peter, Frederic, John, Levi, Lyford,
Elena, Lydia, Joseph, Lois and Otis.

Among the earlier settlers was Dr. Peter Brooks,
"an Indian doctor" who came from Plympton, Massa-
chusetts, and has the distinction of building the first
frame house within the present town of Mechanic Falls.
It is said that he came by his death from inhaling poison

HISTORICAL 13

from the fangs of rattlesnakes, which he us^d to get
from Rattlesnake Mountain in Raymond, during the win-
ter season, for the oil which he used in his practice.

John Cousins of Wells, came to the hill in 17*J5.
He married for his first wife Lucy Hatch and for his
second Sarah Cushman of Hebron. He purchased the
Jabez True opening. His family consisted of fourteen
as follows: Samuel, William, Sarah, Eliza, Lucy, Thomas,
Susan, Abagail, Humphrey, Mary J., Adaline, Harriet,
Jacob T. and James D.

Alden Chandler came from Plympton, Massachu-
setts, in 1800. By his first wife, Priscilki Cushman of
Hebron, he had ten children; Priscilla, Harvey, Alvin,
Josiah, Lydia, Christania, Benjamin F., Gains, Jacob
and Rachel T. His second wife was Hepzebah Cooledge
of Livermore.

Nathaniel Bray came to this locality from the Em-
pire in 1818 and Daniel Bray, his brother, in 1820. Many
of their descendants live here and a section of the town
is called the Bray District in their honor. They left five
children each. Nathaniel married Deborah Keene and
their children were; Mary, Xoa, Stephen, James and
Eliphalet. Daniel married Xoa Keene and their children
were; George W., Sullivan A., Emeline, Daniel J., and
Jefferson,

The business of the hill has been agriculture
but in early days (1820) Reuben B. Dunn kept a store
here, Hiram Hilburn did blacksmithing and Joseph Per-
kins made earthern pans.

14 HISTORICAL

Industrial Account.

It was the waterpower of the little Androscog-
gin which occasioned the settlement of the land on the
present site of the village of Mechanic Falls, and has
been the sole source of its growth and prosperity. To
present things in their natural order, the manufacturies
which have been promoted by the falls would come first.
The natural industries of the state of Maine have
been the turning of the products of her forests into
merchandise and therefore the pioneer industry of every
town, almost without exception, has been lumbering.
To this rule Mechanic Falls was no exception. The first
industry was a lumber mill which was situated on, what
is now known, as the upper dam. Boards, shingles, and
boxes were turned out here and the mill operated by
Isaiah Perkins, Luther Perkins and James Farris. In
the box mill a Mr. Smith of Portland owned a share.
This was built as has been stated, in 1823. This business
continued with some changes until 1851. Messrs. Moore,
Dunham and Waterhouse had bought into the water pow-
er and introduced small woolen manufacturies of their
own. Shortly after the building of the first saw mill, a
grist mill was erected by Isaiah Perkins which for many
years, did a large business for the times.

In 1851, the character of the business changed, in the
line of a natural resource, to the manufacture of paper.
At that time rags were almost exclusively used for this
purpose and no one dreamed of the possibilities held in
our forests, in the way of pulp. The first paper mill was

IS HISTORICAL

built by Ebenezer Drake and Ezra Mitchell on the eastern
side of the river, in 1851. Oliver B. Dwinal and W. C.
Dwinal soon bought out Mitcheirs share and this firm
was known as Drake, Dwinal & Co. , who continued in
this business until 1865, when they sold out to A. C.
Dennison & Co., who had already established a business
of the same kind on the opposite side of the river.

A. C. Dennison & Co., built their first mill, known as
the Eagle, in 1851 having bought out one half of the power
at the upper dam. The firm consisted of Adna C. Dennison
andE. W. Filer. This mill with machinery cost $15,000
and made from rag stock, a ton of paper every twenty-
four hours. In 1862 Adna T. Dennison bought out Filer's
interest and machinery to prepare and use straw
was introduced at considerable expense. In 1865 the land
below the upper mills was bought, the second dam built
and the Star mill completed. In 1865, also a new mill
was built on the site of the old Drake & Dwinal mill. In
1866, the lower dam and the Poland Pulp mill were built,
also the stone dam and flumes on the upper privilege.
About the same time the mills and privilege at Range
Pond were purchased with rights of fiowage and a stone
reservoir dam built. At the next legislature a charter
was obtained to control the water. The Calendar mill
on the upper dam was built also at this time, as well as
machine and carpenter shops. In 1873 The Dennison
Paper Manufacturing Company was formed with a cap-
ital stock of $5('0,000. Adna C. and AdnaT. Dennison and
Mrs. C. M. Cram, stockholders. In 1879 and 1880 a
chemical pulp mill was built at Canton to supply the

i6 HISTORICAL

mills at Mechanic Falls with pulp. In 1887 these exten-
sive works passed into the hands of a new company
known as the Poland Paper Company, with a
capital stock of $300,000. The officers of this company
were: President, Arthur Sewall, Bath; Chas. R. Milliken,
clerk and Treasurer, Portland; directors, Arthur Sewall,
James Munroe, George C. Wing, W. S. Dana, W. G. Davis,
W. H. Milliken, Frank D. True, Superintendent, C. H.
Milliken. At the time they acquired this property it
employed 175 hands, used twenty tons of pulp daily and
its monthly shipment of manufactured goods amounted
to $50,000. In 1891 a spur track was laid out from the
Grand Trunk Railway line, one-half mile below the de-
pot to the mills. The same year the carpenter and
machine shops of the company were burned, which were
rebuilt with brick the following year. In 1893 a gigantic
brick mill was built extending from Poland Pulp mill,
which forms a part of the new mill on the lower dam to
the Eagle on the upper dam, with a capacity of thirty
tons of manufactured paper per day. The Star mill
which had stood in the center of the new mill was torn
down and a stone wall built the entire way changing the
course of the river and turning quite a portion of
river bottom into dry land and covered in part by the
site of the new mill. The present officers of this com-
pany are C. H. Milliken, Treasurer, C. R. Milliken, Mana-
ger.

One mile above the village and within the limits of
the town, is another privilege, which for many years
was owned and used as a saw mill by Moses Page. In

HISTORICAL

17

THE FALLS

1868, this privilege was bought by J. A. Bucknam, who
improved the lumber and grist mills and operated them
for fifteen years, since that time the privilege has been
unused.

For many years John Winslow run a tannery on
ground now occupied as a part of the site of the Dia-
mond paper mill. Along in the seventies Mr. Winslow
failed and the property passed into the hands of Warren
Winslow, who operated it a few years, when it was sold
to A. C. Dennison & Co.

Cabinet making has been carried on in the town
since 1841 by Lowell Valentine, Nelson Valentine, R. L.

i8 HISTORICAL

McPherson, William Eldridge, D. S. Perkins, D. B.
Perry and J. S. Merrill. In 1878, Andrew J. Weston
began as contractor and builder and has continued ever
since.

Brick making has been a prominent business ever
since 18(55. For many years there was a yard on Main
Street near its junction with Dwinal, but it has not
been operated for twenty years. Fessenden & Morrill
operated one for many years on the Poland road. This
was sold in the seventies to Thurston & Waterhouse
who operated it until 1880 when it was discontinued.
In 1893 a new yard was opened on Water Street by the
Mechanic Falls Brick Company, consisting of Horace
Purington & Co., of Waterville, and F. 0 Purington,
of Mechanic Falls.

In the early seventies, the shoe factory manufacturies
of Massachusetts began to feel the power of combined
labor and to desire to get away from those centers which
made this power possible; so they made overtures to
small country villages to erect them factories and
thereby increase their size and importance. Mechanic
Falls took advantage of one of those opportunities and
built the factory on Main Street near the Grand Trunk
Railway, for Berry, Field & Company. But the village
was unfortunate in this company, as it has been in
every one since that time. It soon failed. The Ventil-
ating Waterproof Company took its place to stay but a
short time. Then came Thompson & Company to
follow the path of the others. The old factory was then
placed in the hands of J. A. Bucknam & Company, and

HISTORICAL 19

has since been used as a ready-made clothing factory.
In 1881 J. Harris & Son's of Marblehead, Massachusetts,
made a proposition to the village to build them a factory
which they would lease for ten years, and carry on there-
in the manufacture of shoes. This the village conclud-
ed to do and organized the Mechanic Falls Manufacturing
Company for the purpose of building the proposed
building. 0. B. Dwinal was elected president, which
position he filled until 1892, with the exception of one
year when C. E. Stevens filled the chair. The proposed
factory was built at a cost of $15,000, and occupied by
the lessees. They stayed for the stipulated time when
they concluded to return to their factories in Marble-
head. Labor had become organized in the small towns
the same as in cities and it was no advantage for
companies to remain so far from the base of operations
and many a Maine town suffered from the loss of this
industry.

In 1871 the village embarked in an industry from
which it hoped to reap great profits. This was the
manufacture of magazine rifles, invented by George
F. Evan's. The Evans' Eifle Company was organized
for this purpose. The majorit)'^ of this stock was owned
by the Deunison Paper Company. This arm was adopted
by the Russian government, but the expense of equip-
ping the shop to make the guns was so great that it
failed both companies, and the plant was moved to
Massachusetts in 1878.

The Packing Business was inaugurated here in 1873,
by J. W. Jones. In 1886 it passed into the hands of

20 HISTORICAL

General Charles P. Haddocks, and in 1890, into the
possession of John Hanscom, and the following year
it was leased to the Portland Packing Company. In
1888 a new company was formed in the village, known
as the Minot Packing Company, formed by H. E.
Thurston, and J. A. Grerry, of Mechanic Falls and H.
F. Hayford and J. W. Bicknell of Canton. In 1890
Hayford and Bicknell sold their interests to the former
patrons.

The manufacture of clothing has been carried on in
this village for many years by J. A. Bucknam & Co.,
Dwinal & Golderman, Joseph Bucknam & Son, Golder-
man & Cummings, P. T. Murray, and W. B. Bucknam.
The former company having carried it on to a large
extent and have at times, given employment to as many
as one thousand persons.

, Toothpicks have been manufactured in town by
E. E. Edgecomb and E. A. Harris.

Pumps were manufactured at one time by T. B,
Swan and J. C. Walker.

In 1872 the machine shop and foundry of J. W.
Penney was established and has grown from a small
beginning to large proportions. In 1884 A. R. and S.
R. Penney were admitted to the firm and name changed
to J. W. Penney & Son's.

Among the industries, which, while not directly
located in the village have been a source of prost erity, is
the railroads. The Atlantic & St. Lawrence Railroad
was organized and a charter obtained Feb. 10, 1845.
It reached Mechanic Falls in 1849, bringing a boom to

HISTORICAL 21

the place. It continued on to Montreal and in later
years to Chicago, with a branch to Quebec.

On June 22, 1847, a road running from Mechanic
Falls to Buckfield was chartered and opened on Oct. 10,
1849, known as the Buckfield Branch. This soon failed
and was succeeded by the Portland & Oxford Central
Railroad Company, who operated it off and on for twenty
years, extending it to Canton. They finally abandoned
it. In 1874 it was resumed by the Rumford Falls &
Buckfield Railroad Company. In 1892 it was extended
to Rumford Falls and in 1893, to Auburn, and opened
to traffic to the latter place on Feb. 12, 1894.

The following is a list of former residents of Mechanic
Falls who served in the war of the rebellion. These men
enlisted from the towns of Poland and Minot but, were
from the section afterwards incorporated as Mechanic
Falls.

Perhaps as important as any of these organizations
in the village is A. A. Dwinal Post, Grand Army of the
Republic; reminding us as it does, of a struggle yet
familiar to middle-aged people and to which the nation
reverts with pride. The Post was named after one of
the youngest citizen soldiers of Mechanic Falls and a
Lieutenant of the seventeenth Maine Regiment. It
was instituted July 18, 1872. The following persons
have filled the post of commander:

Josiah Carr, H. A. Sawyer, H. T. Bucknam, Ed-

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

CHURCH AFFAIRS

The first regularly organized church in Mechanic Falls
was that of the Congregational Society. The earlier
believers in this particular faith had been members of
the church at Poland and the organization in the village
of Mechanic Falls was at first a branch of that church.
The church was organized by an ecclesiastical council
held in the house of John Valentine, June 15, 1845, with

26 HISTORICAL

the following persons as members: John Valentine,
Joseph H. Hall, Sophia Hall, Salmon Hackett, Laurana
Hackett, Samuel Chandler, Lowell and Nelson Valentine,
Mrs. Pamelia Foss and Mrs. Nancy P. Alden Two
other branches of the church were under the charge of
Rev. Thomas Williams, preaching on alternate Sundays
at Poland Corner and Mechanic Falls. The first church
service was held in the school house on the eastern side
of the river, July 12, 1840. The lot on which the present
church edifice stands was presented by John Valentine
and a vestry was built during the summer of 1841, and
dedicated December 30, 1841. On November 2, 1842,
the branch became an independent body with Rev. Nathan
Cobb as pastor. The church edifice was completed
and dedicated in 1848 and the old vestry removed in

HISTORICAL 27

During his pastorate a fine organ was presented to
the church by one of its original members. 24 members
were united with the church during the four years he
remained with the church. Rev. H. F. Burdon, came to
the church in Sept. 1902, and is doing good work for the
church .

Free Baptist

The second and in some respects the oldest, was the
Free Baptist. Rev. Christopher Macy of this denomina-
tion it seems preached here as early as 1828. In IS-lT
this society united with the others in building a union
church which was sold to the Baptists in 1889. This
church had few regular pastors with long intervals in
which there was no preaching at all.

The first Baptist conference was held at Mechanic
Falls in the year 1855 and preaching was sustained one-
fourth of the time by Rev. A. K. P. Small. The church
was organized in September 1857, with forty-one members.
Following is a list of pastors: A. K. P. Small, D. D.,
Adam Wilson, D. D., Abner Merrill, A. C. Herrick, L.
P. Gurney, R. J. Langradge, J.S. Studley, C. E. Harden,
and W. H. Clark. Messrs W. Swett, and R. Denning,
members of the church, occupied the pulpit at times.
R. B. Andrews, Eben Drake, A. B. Dwinal, Joseph
Buckman, S. Woodman, Gilman Thayer, and S. U.
Hawkes, have been deacons. Isaac P. Bumpus, A. B.
Dwinal and J. S. Merrill have been clerks. In 1888 the

method ist

Mechanic Falls was made a station of the Methodist
church by the Maine Annual Conference, April 27,
1859, with Rev. J. C. Perry as pastor. Before this
time services by this denomination had been held in
the Union church, which was partly owned by Metho-
dists, a portion of the time by the pastors in charge of
the Poland church and circuit. A church edifice was
erected on Main Street and dedicated in 1860. This
was burned April 1, 1877. A new church was soon
erected and dedicated in 1880. Following is a list of
pastors: Rev. J. C. Perry, 1856, James McMillan, 1860;
Kinsman Atkinson, 1861; J. C. Perry, 1862-63; John
Woodbury, 1864; William H. Foster, 1865-66; John
Gibson, 1867-68; Joseph Hawkes, 1869-70; J. A. Fletch-

UNIVERSALIST CHURCH

30 HISTORICAL

Universalist

It is recorded that the first Universalist sermon
ever preached in Mechanic Falls was by Rev. Zenas
Thompson in 1840. A church was organized April 8,
1862, and services held in Curtis Hall. A church was
built and dedicated in January 1864. Rev. A. G.
Gaines, D. D., was the first pastor and he has been
followed by Revs. Zenas Thompson, S. S. Davis, M. J.
Steere, C. S. Whitman, W. W. Hooper, W. S. Perkins,
R. F. Johonnet, G. G. Hamilton and F. E. Barton.
In 1875, the church was enlarged and a vestry, called
Murray Hall built underneath. Rev. W. E. Gaskin
was pastor of this church prior to Sept. 1903, follow-
ing his removal Rev. F. E. Barton, State Supt., Rev.
S. G. Davis and Rev. Elinor S. Forbes supplied in the
pulpit. Rev. F. H. Cole came in June, 1904. Mr.
F. A. Golderman has served as Sunday School Supt.
for about eight years. This church is the largest in
town, having a seating capacity of about 500.

Advents

The Adventists have held occasional meetings in
Mechanic Falls for many years and a yearly camp-
meeting was held at Pottle Grove for two decades or

HISTORICAL 31

SO, until 1890, when the Androscoggin Camp Meeting
Association bought fifteen acres on the Lewiston road,
erected buildings and seats where their yearly meet-
ings are now held. A few years ago a church was
organized in town, holding their meetings in halls.
They have had two pastors, — Rev. J. A. Libby and
Rev. Mrs. Jessie Jordan. In 19('3 Mrs. Jordan resigned
but has frequently supplied the Church to the present
time. This Church is in a prosperous condition and its
membership has increased in the last twelve years about
one-third. The present clerk is H. B. King.

Educational Account

We cannot do better than to cast a glance toward
the typical common school as known in Maine in the
early days. Even as soon as our forefathers, almost
invariably of Puritan extraction had located themselves
in the forests of the Fine Tree State and began their
efforts of erecting churches, they made provisions for
the common school. They in common with us of to-
day considered education the bulwark of our institutions,
the institutions for the establishment of which they
had fought and bled. They knew therefore better
than we how much depended upon the proper guijl-
ance of the newly established government. They saw
their liberties and property, we had almost said wrapt

32 HISTORICAL

up in the future of the new government, which Wash-
ington had said was "one today and thirteen tomor-
row." Is it a strange thing that these people who so
well understood the significance of these trying years,
should so thoroughly grasp at the thought that in ed-
ucation of the masses lay their only hope of ultimate
success? No, they saw well their duty and as pioneers
prepared to meet it. A room in the little log cabin
became the university of the wilderness, and humble
as was this first effort, might;*'^ results came from it.
From out of these rough, low-roofed structures walked
men who were yet to meet the representatives of the
courts of Europe, in the battlefield, in diplomacy, and in
scores of other capacities from which they were
emerged unscathed. This system of education went
on till it almost became a necessary thing for a man
to rea'^.h the president's chair that he be able to pre-
sent a career begun in "The Little Ked Schoolhouse"
in the backwoods hamlet. It was not that the people
loved wealth and culture less, but that they loved the
more the homely virtues inspired by healthy atmos-
phere of the country. And as we look back today
over the progress of our school system, we dwell with
pride upon the record it has made. But this system
like all others was expected to advance and it has ad-
vanced.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

The value of the public schools has ever been
recognized by the settlers and citizens of the towns of
Maine, and their support has been well provided for
from the first as a matter of course. The history of
the early schools of Mechanic Falls is the history of

34 HISTORICAL

the towns of Poland and Minot. This part of those
towns comprised, on the Minot side, district No. 1,
established in 1831; and district No. 20 on the Poland
side of the river. These were the ungraded district
schools of a typical section and served the interests
of education as well as could be provided for. Along
in the sixties there arose a desire for better education-
al facilities and in 1867 a petition to Justice S. F.
Waterman, signed by E. G. Hawkes, A. C. Dennison, A.
T. Dennison, 0 W. Hawkes, William Childs, J. A. Buck-
nam, E. M. Thurston, D. S. Perkins and J. S. Merrill
was made to call a meeting which resulted in the forma-
tion of a union district, comprised of the two districts
already mentioned. This district was formed March 30,
1867. Rev. A. G. Gaines, D. D., J. M. Eveleth, M. D.,
Alanson Briggs and A. T. Dennison were elected to grade
the schools.

In 1871 the need of a new school building to accom-
modate the number and different grades of the scholars
in the village was deeply felt, which resulted in the
building of the brick school on Water Street, in which
until 1883 was held the high school. Nathaniel Cush-
man, J. S. Gerry, 0. B. Dwinal, O. B. Mooie and Alan-
son Briggs, were the building committee. It cost
$8863,85.

At a special meeting November 26, 1887, the town
of Poland abolished the district school system and
adopted the town system, thereby terminating the union
district, all but paying a debt of $2,000,00 on the Water
Street school house, which was raised at a special meet-

HISTORICAL 35

ing held April 7, 1888. This left the Poland side without
adequate school buildings. On the annual meeting of
March 12, 1888, Poland voted to raise $5,000 to build a
suitable school building at Mechanic Falls. A fine
building was erected on Elm Street and completed in
season for the fall term of school of that year, at a cost
of $1:,942, under charge of W. W. Waterman and A. J.
Weston.

The schools are now well graded and are under the
successful management of F. L. Waterman, J. K. D en-
ning, and J. W. Wayne. J. M. Libby is superintendent,
Prof. H. Stewart is principal of the high school.

Societies

• Secret societies occupy a prominent place in the
modern life of every village, and Mechanic Falls is no ex-
ception to the general rule.

HISTORICAL 39

riasons

The first of these societies to be organized in almost
every village was a Masonic Lodge. On January 21,
1853, a dispensation was granted to George
Moore, Daniel W. True, Nathaniel Bray, Augustus
Golderman, George Hathaway, Josiah Carr and Samuel
Atwood, to open and hold a Freemason's Lodjre in
Mechanic Falls, to be known as Fraternal Lodge. George
Moore was first master and the first meeting U, D,, was
held on January 24, 1853. Fraternal Lodge held nine-
teen communications but when a charter was granted
May 10, 1853, it was to Tyrian Lodge, No. 73, with rank
of precedence from January 1, 1853.

Royal Arch Chapter

In 1872, nine months and twenty-six days dispensa-
tion was granted for a chapter of Royal Arch Masons at
Mechanic Falls, to be known as Union Royal Arch
Chapter. The Chapter held its first meeting October 8,
1872, and a charter was granted May 7, 1873, which was
consituted October 9, 1873. In 1882 a dispensation was
given, changing the place of meeting to Norway and the
next year that place was continued as the home of the

40 HISTORICAL

chapter. Following is a list of High Priests while the

42 HISTORICAL

Newspapers

The newspaper life of a village is always interesting
and Mechanic Falls has witnessed many attempts to
establish one within the narrow limits which its situation
assigns to journalism.

The Down Easter, published by William Cady. was
the first paper of the village, a small sheet whose life
was short. The Androscoggin Herald was started in
186Y by William Moody and John F. Moody. This con-
tinued several years and during this time the senior
proprietor became sole owner. He removed the plant
to Skowhegan. William Moody has been connected with
the Somerset Reporter, The Woman's Journal and Bos-
ton Herald, and his brother John, has been the successful
principal of Hebron, andBridgton Academies and at pres-
ent of Edward Little High School. After an interval in
which no paper was published, the Herald was resur-
rected by Wm. H. Clark & Son, and published several
years, when it was removed to Auburn.

Shortly after the removal of the Herald, the Citizen
was established by Charles S. Allen and Charles Moore.
After a year or so, Moore sold out to Allen, who run it
several years then sold out to Thurston & Garland. In
a year or two the senior partner, Mr. H. E. Thurston,
sold his share to the junior partner and his father, who
continued until 1882, when the paper was discontinued.
In 1884 the Mechanic Falls Ledger was established by H.

HISTORICAL 43

A. Poole and F. L. Davis. Davis soon sold out to Poole
and shortly after G. W. Poole was admitted to the firm,
under the name of Poole Brothers. They run in connec-
tion with the Ledger, a book and job printing establish-
ment. This firm failed in 1892 and the Ledger was
discontinued in March of that year. The plant of this
company was purchased in June of the same year by
Charles E. Waterman, F. H. McDonald and F. L. Perk-
ins, who re-established the Ledger on the first day of
July, 1892.

Besides these papers devoted to local matters, a
monthly devoted to the Masonic Relief Association was
published by W. E. Merrill and The Bee-Keepers' advanc-
ed by J, B. Mason & Sons. In the spring of 1892, the
Weekly News was established by E. F. Edgecomb, but
run only three months.

Book making has been indulged in by the citizens of
the village to a limited extent. Mrs, Julia Schayer made
the village her residence a portion of the time during the
seventies and incorporated a part of her experience here
in a book entitled "Tiger Lily". Rev, M. J. Steere, who
was once pastor of the Universalist church, was the
author of a book called "Footprints Heavenward." In
1890 a History of Poland was published by H. A. and G.
W. Poole which had the peculiarity of being written by
Poland men, set up, electrotyped and printed by Poland
workmen, in a Poland office and on paper manufactured
in the same town. In 1892 Dr. E. F. Bradford published
a medical work entitled "A Handbook of Emergencies
and Common Ailments," which has had a large sale.

Census of Mechanic Falls.

1904.

We have herewith arranged the population of the town of
Mechanic Falls in families where that arrangement has been pos-
sible. In these families, in addition to the resident living mem-
bers, the names of non-resident members are included. At the end
of the Census of each town wall be found these Non-residents
with the full names and present addresses, when such names
and addresses have been given to the author. The non-residents
are indicated by the (*).

The common directory abbreviations have been used to indi-
cate the occupation of the several people in town. These abbre-
viations are placed opposite the name. Some of the abbreviations
and contractions used are the following:

Farmer — far; carpenter — car; merchant — mer; housework — hw;
physician and surgeon — phy & sur; student — stu; etc., etc.

This Census was taken during the summer of 1904 by A. C
Denning, East Poland Maine.
