Indian History Along the Penobscot 

The story of the Indians in the state of Maine is ever 
interesting, Especially is that of the region of the Penoh- 
scot valley. This race of men is the subject of pity as well 
as of hatred, hated for their cruelty, and pitied for their mis- 
fortune at the hands of their more civilized fellows, the Anglo 
Saxons. 

We of a later day can look upon this race in a spirit of 
greater fairness than could our ancestors whose view of the 
red man was obscured by his late acts of rapine and plunder. 
As we read history let us remember that they were struggling 
to retain their own domain, to defend their " Fatherland " 
against the acts of the aggressive pale face whose deeds of 
power we delight to honor. 



6 HISTORICAL 

TRIBES OF THE PENOBSCOT. 

In our brief sketch we cannot attempt to trace in full the 
descent of the Indian tribes of this region. It is unnecessary. 
We will begin by stating that the Indians of the state of Maine 
generally were divided into the following tribes : The Soko- 
kis, of the Saco river region; the Anasagunticooks or Abena- 
kis, of the Androscoggin and lower Kennebec region; the Cani- 
bas of the Norridgewock region; and the Warenocks, of the 
eastern part of Maine as now known. Of these the latter are 
to us most interesting. Another almost synonymous name 
for this tribe is the Etchemin tribe. This tribe however in- 
cluded the Indians to the extreme headwaters of the Penob- 
scot and the St. John river. This tribe is usually divided into 
three divisions, viz: those on the St. John; those of the Pas- 
samaquoddy; and the Tarratines of the Penobscot, of whom 
we are most concerned. It is undoubtedly true that this tribe 
is the ancestor of the present remnant, known as the Penob- 
scot tribe. This tribe claimed dominion over the entire 
Penobscot valley from the headwaters to the sea. 

Concerning these Indians we here quote Mr. Williamson, 
as follows : " They were a numerous, powerful and warlike 
people, more hardy and brave than their western enemies, 
whom they often plundered and killed, and according to Hub- 
bard and Price, kept the Sycamores between the Piscataqua 
and the Mistic in perpetual fear. After the conquests and 
glory achieved in their battles with the Babshaba and his 
allies they were not, like their enemies, wasted by disease 
and famine. They retained their valor animated by success 
and strengthened by the early use and supply of firearms, 



HISTORICAL 7 

with which they were furnished by the French. The Tarra- 
tines ever manifested the greatest satisfaction in their inter- 
course with the French. No fortifications upon the peninsula 
of Major Biguyduce, or buildings in the vicinity, excited either 
fear or jealousy in them for no rising plantations of the French 
threatened them with the loss of their lands or privileges. A 
barter of their furs for guns, ammunition and trinkets was 
managed with a freedom and a directness which won and se- 
cured their attachments. Their companionable manners and 
volatile turn made the bonds strong and lasting. The Tarra- 
tines have probably at different periods shifted the situation 
of their principal village. At the mouth of the Kenduskeag 
they had a common resting place when the white people first 
settled in that vicinity — a place to which they were from habit 
strongly attached. Here the mouldering relics of human 
bodies also flint spears, stone implements of labor, and Indians 
paint dust have been accidentally disinterred after a burial of 
an unknown period of time. The Tarratines were neutral m 
the war of the Revolution. In return Massachusetts, of which 
this region was a part at that time, protected them and pro- 
hibited all trespass upon their lands six miles in width on each 
side of the Penobscot, from the head of tide upwards. The 
state from time to time bought large tracts of land from them 
till their territory was greatly diminished in size. These 
Indians when they were first seen by the whites dwelt on 
both sides of the river and in conjunction with the other tribes 
roamed the whole of the state of Maine to the westward of 
this region. That they wandered far from their Penobscot 
home is evident. One historian asserts that the chief Samo- 



8 HISTORICAL 

set who met the English at Plymuuth with the words "Wel- 
come Englishmen" in their own tongue was a Tarratine, and 
<:ame from the Island ot Monhegan. 



WARS OF THE TARRATINES. 

The Indian seemed to be fated to be the opponent of the 
Englishman ; in religion, and personal make up the English- 
man was at a very serious disadvantage as compared with the 
Frenchman with his vivacious ways, and his attractive and 
impressive religious services. It is probable that the most of 
the English had serious intentions and an honest purpose to 
deal justly with the red man. Their charters called for relig- 
ious training, forbade the sale of liquors to them and in every 
way enjomed their training in the channels of civilization. 
But the Frenchman did all in his power to engender the spirit 
of animosity which was early started in the breast of the sav- 
age. Only one result could possibly be and that was war. 
But though the Indians were gradually drifting to hostilities 
they were hurled headlong into an open conflict by Wey- 
mouth's infamous seizure of five of their tribe in 1605. In 
1631 or 1632 there was an outbreak between the Tarratines 
and their rivals, but the conflict was not long prolonged nor 
bloody .Tlie great war with the Mohawks about 1663 greatly 
discomforted the Tarratines, their dreaded enemies following 
them even to the banks of the Penobscot, burning their dwell- 
ings, and doing great harm in accordance with Indian warfare. 
Soon small pox devastated the tribe till it was almost exter- 



HISTORICAL 9 

minated. 

No further action in warfare was participated in by tliese 
Indians till the coming of Maj. Church in 1694, who laid waste 
their fields and killed several of the natives, hi 1722 Love 
well's war opened and lasted three years. The war was thus 
named for Capt. Lovewell of Dunstable, the hero of the bat- 
tle of Pequaket. The warfare was carried to the Penobscot 
Valley, and began at the arrival of Col. Thomas Westbrook in 
1723. This expedition was made up of two hundred thirty. 
They scurried the coast of Mt. Desert in whaling boats and 
small vessels, and then proceeded up the Penobscot, anehor- 
ing at Marsh Island, it is stated, on March 4 of tliat year. 
Here they left their boats and began a five days march 
through the forests near the river. At the Old Indian Fort 
whicli they found deserted the company destroyed everything 
of value. It is stated that this fort was situated in Orono 
about six miles above Kenduskeag. After the destruction of 
the buildings about the Fort the whites returned. About two 
years later when the Tarratines had rebuilt the village, Capt. 
Joseph Heath with his company crossed the country and 
attacked the village, laying it in ashes. No Indians were 
found. The village was never rebuilt, Oldtown being the 
place finally settled upon as their future abode. In October 
1723 a vessel landing at Mt. Desert, Capt, Cogswell com- 
manding, was attacked by the Indians, the whole crew being 
captured. The wars being over the Indians returned to their 
usual customs, hunting and fishing. Gradually, by treaty 
and by other courses the English came into possession of the 
lands along the Penobscot. The Indians were greatly cheated 



10 HISTORICAL 

in these deals, but managed to retain possession of certain 
tracts, and to this day have control of a large number of 
islands in the Penobscot. They also have a large sum in the 
hands of the state which is holden as a perpetual fund for 
their support on which the state pays interest annually. In 
all, the Indian tribe receives not far from $8,000 per year from 
different sources. The treatment of these Indians on the 
Penobscot by the State of Maine is in marked contrast with 
that of Massachusetts when this whole region was a part of 
that commonwealth. Everything of practical value to them 
is done for their protection and benefit. 



General Description. 

Milbridge. incorporated as a town July 14, 1848, is situated 
in the south-western part of Washington County, thirty miles 
west-south-west of Machias. By water route, the town is 
207 miles from Portland, 127 miles from Rockland, 43 miles 
from Machiasport, and 197 miles from Bangor. Milbridge is 
bounded on the north by Cherryfleld, on the south by the 
Narraguagus Bay, on the east by this same bay and Harring- 
ton, and on the west by Steuben and Cherryfield. 

In size it is one of the smallest towns in the state. The 
township is long and narrow — a mere "slice" of a township 
as it were — and is cut into two parts by the Narraguagus 
River, which travels its entire length and finally, gains the 
Ocean. 



HISTOEICAL 11 

Toddy this town needs no introduction to the public. It 
ranks high, in many phases of tlie word. Beautiful buildings 
adorn its streets. Many contrivances are present for the 
safely and pleasure of its citizens. The town bids well to be- 
come a most prosperous seaport. 



Early Settlement. 

First Settlers, Indians— First White Visitors— First 
White Settlers— Growth of Settlement. 

Prior to the arrival of the whites, this region in the Narra- 
guagus Valley was inhabitated by the Redmen. A mention 
of this race always quickens the interest of the reader, if he 
be a student of the American History. Few and simple were 
their laws, yet more generally observed than the numerous 
enactment of civilized nations which fill many volumes of 
statue books. 

The early settlers got along peaceably, at first, with the 
Redmen. Later, hostilities occurred; and for this the Whites 
were partly to blame, for the Indian was often deceived and 
cheated out of his rights by his better civilized neighbor. We 
know that this race was fighting, according to the methods of 
their people, for home and existence. We are av^-are that he 
was inflicting punishment upon his intruders, which he 
thought was justly due. With these facts, we cannot blame 
the Indian for his part in these so called Indian Wars; but 
must sympathize with them, the weaker race knowing that it 



12 HTSTORICAL 

was for the interest of civilization that they should succumb 
to the stronger. 

This race in the Narraguagus Valley were a part of the 
Passamaquoddy Tribe. They were ever friendly towards the 
early pioneers of our town, for the Indian Wars had ceased 
long before its settlement; yet it seems that these people al- 
ways stood in awe of them, and ever granted their petty re- 
quests. 

in the remembrance of some of the town's aged citizens, 
small band of Indians were prying up and down the Narragu- 
agus river. Pickett's Point was a frequent camping ground 
of theirs. Here, as well as many other places, relics such as 
stone-ovens, arrow heads and stone hatchets have been found. 
Indian Garden Brook, a small stream on the road to Wyman 
near the residence of Wm, H. and Raleigh Flagg, is a place 
where they were accustomed to meet and execute their so- 
called "war dances." Carrying Place, another traditional 
spot, situated in the extreme southern part ot the town, is a 
narrow strip of land connecting the main and Petit-Manan 
Point. This peninsula received its name, from the fact that 
the Indians carried their canoes across it; when they passed 
from the Narraguagus Bay into Dyer's Bay, thus saving the 
long journey around the point. 

Thus we have a vague description of this rough exterior 
race, which we but admire, when we think of their courage, 
endurance and manly spirit. May the Indian name or our 
river and \alley ever remind us of these first inhabitants of 
our town. 

The first white persons to set foot on Milbridge soil were, 



HISTORICAL IB 

in all probability, early voyagers. Who these persons were, 
and the date of their arrival, we do not know. Captain Bar- 
tholomew Gosnold made a voyage along the coast of iV\;iiiu- in 
1602, Martin Pring in 1603 and Captain John Smith in 1614. 
Pring, so history tells us, made an exact account of all these 
harbors and rivers along our coast. As he explored other 
small rivers, it is but natural that he should have sailed a 
short distance up the Narraguagus. A traditional story says 
that Captain John Smith landed on Dyer's Island, when in pur- 
suit of an Indian, who had fled hither with his wife and child. 

Again, fishermen may have landed on our shores, for, 
prior to 1700, this sturdy class of men were prying all along 
our coast in pursuit of their occupation. It was their custom 
to 70 abroad during the summer months, but to return to their 
settled homes when winter came on. 

These facts, although they do not tell us who the first visi- 
tor was, yet they are sufficient to covince us that this region, 
now Milbridge, was visited by the whites at a very early date. 

The date of the first permanent settlement in Milbridge, 
by the Whites, is uncertain. Settlements of short duration 
were made at Calais in 1604, Machias in 1644, and Eastport in 
1772; but no permanent settlement was made in those towns 
prior to the following dates, Calais, 1763; Machias, 1764; and 
Eastport, 1780. 

The name of the first settler in our town is not positively 
known, as different parts of the town were settled about the 
same time. 

A settlement was made at Mill River at a very early date. 
The first settler there was John Dinsmore, who came from 



14 HISTORICAL 

Dover, New Hampshire to this town in company with 
Ichabod Willey, the first settler in Cherryfield. The date of 
their arrival is claimed by their descendants to be 1756 The 
Dinsmores of this and other towns in our county are descen- 
dants of Mr. Dinsmore. The Strouts, Campbells; Rays, 
Putmans and Prebies were also early settlers along this river. 
The old Campbell homestead is now occupied by Mrs. Han- 
nah Kennedy, and is said to be over 100 years old. Ira 
Strout's residence, near Mrs. Kennedy, is the old Strout place. 
This is probably one of the oldest, if not the oldest house now 
standing in town. Its age is placed at approximately 1 50 years. 

The Strouts were the first to arrive at Back Bay. Joseph 
Strout, known as Deacon Strout settled there about 1762. 
Others of his near relatives soon followed. Numerous des- 
cendants of these early Strouts are now living in our town. 

About this same thne, a settlement was made on Pond Is- 
land, at the mouth of the Narraguagus Bay, by Daniel Stan- 
wood. Mr. Stanwood erected a house on that Island, and lived 
there with his family. We do not know where he came from, 
or how long he remained. 

The first person to establish a home on the banks of our 
river, Narraguagus, was Joseph Wallace, known as Major 
Wallace. Some give Mr, Wallace the distinction of being the 
first settler in town. There are many facts to sanction that 
assertion. Mr. Wallace came to this town from Beverly, 
Massachusetts, and settled on the east bank of the Narragau- 
gus river, on the road to Pickett's Point, near the site of the 
home of H. H. Enfield, known as the Deacon Wallace home- 
stead. Mr. Wallace was a man of energy and wealth who 



HISTORICAL 15 

carried on ship-building at a very early date, and was, also, 
the owner of a large fleet of mercantile vessels. 

Another early settler, here, about the same time as Mr. 
Wallace, was a person whose surname was "Whaugh" we do 
not know who he was, or where he came from. He settled 
on the west bank of the river a half-mile below Wallace's 
Creek. As late as 1835 his house was standing, and known 
as the "Whaugh" Place, it is said that, during the Revolu- 
tionary War, an English brig came up the river one evening, 
but seeing a light on each bank of the river, she retreated, 
thinking it was from two forts. The two lights were from 
the homes of Major Wallace and Mr. Whaugh. 

About 1762 John Small came here from Cape Elizabeth, 
and settled on a lot on the west bank of the river, near the 
"Whaugh" homestead. Jonathan Small, a half brother of 
his, took out a lot near him. 

The Browns whose descendants are now living in town, 
were early settlers. Two brothers, Jesse and David, came 
here from Falmouth, now Portland, and settled on the east 
side, near Pickett's Wharf. 

Josiah Sawyer, an early settler, came to this tovvn from 
Cape Elizabeth, and settled in the extreme southern part of 
the town, near Petit-Manan's Point. His wife was Elizabeth, 
daughter of Jesse Brown. 

James and John Foster, two brothers, settled in town soon 
after the close of the Revolutionary War. Just before the 
Embargo Act, they began the building of a large brig. Their 
yard was situated up the river above the bridge. This vessel 
was never completed, for the above mentioned Act, and the 



16 



HISTORICAL 



war of 1812, made the project a failure. This craft, without 
spars, was embanked and covered over wich brush, where it 
was left to decay. 

Another early settler on the river was Samuel Leighton, 
who came in about 1760 from Falmouth, now Portland, to 
this town, and settled on the east bank of the river. His 
brother, Thomas took out a lot at the same time near Pigeon 
Hill, in the town of Steuben. 

In most cases as soon as one member of a family settled 
here, others of the same stock followed, it was the same 
with the above: Wallaces, Smalls, Browns, Fosters, Leightons 
Sawyers. A mention of their names will be made later. 
The following are representative surnames of families who 
were among the early settlers, not here-to-fore mentioned: 
Jordan, Ray, Upton, Nickles, Smith, Turner, Shaw, God- 
frey, Fickett, Leavitt. Cain, Corthell, and Dyer. Some, if 
not all of these, will be taken up later. 

The plantation grew in numbers very slowly, at first. 
The thinly settled regions in the Narraguagus Valley were 
not found very attractive. At the close o*"' the 1812 War, 
there, probably were not more than twelve families within a 
radius of three miles of our present village post-office. 

In 1835, twenty-three years later, we have the following 
description of the site of our present village and its vicinity. 

On the west bank of the river beginning at Wyman Cove 
and extending a mile above the center of the village, were 
the following early settlers and their homes : Solon Turner, 
William Ray, Thomas Strout, Daniel L. Corthell, "Cain's" 
log house, James Wallace. James Hay, "Jordan's" home- 



HISTORICAI. 17 

stead, Jonathan Upton, "Whaugh's" place, William Godfrey, 
Joseph Ray, Asa Leighton, Eli Foster, Nathan Hinckley, 
Patrick Campbell, Benjamin Leavitt, Solomon Strout, Nath- 
aniel Strout, twenty in all. Of these houses the following 
are still standing : Thomas Strout's, the residence of Leonard 
Rowe; Daniel L. Corthell's, now occupied by A. C. Leigh- 
ton; James Wallaces', late residence of Mrs, James Wallace; 
James Ray's, now the home of Raymond Gay; William God- 
frey's, now occupied by Charles Farnsworth; Patrick Camp 
bell's, the residence of Fletcher Campbell; and Nathan Hinck- 
ley's, the home of Mrs. Hannah Hinckley, 

The following lived on the east bank of the river : Major 
Joseph Wallace, Simeon Brown, James Brown, John Brown, 
Rufus Fickett, Albion Fickett, Thomas Leighton, Benjamin 
Wallace, James Otis, Samuel Rich, and Deacon Wallace, 
Deacon Wallaces' residence is the only one of these houses 
now standing, and is occupied by Henry H. Hnfield, 

From the present village to Wyman Cove, there was but 
a trodden path. This had been made by foot passengers. 
The road to Cherryfield and Harrington was not much better, 
though a pretence had been made to construct one. 

To cross the river, one must make the passage by boat, or 
with a raft. The first bridge accross the river was completed 
but a short time before the incorporation of the town, 1848, 

The people were so well favored as to have one horse in 
their settlement. This was owned by Joseph Ray. The 
second person to have in his possession one of these scarce 
quadrupeds, was Col. Samuel Shaw. 

The traveler must find accomodation in some private fami- 



18 PIISTORICAL 

ly, for no public house was here, although a little later War- 
ren Leighton kept a lodging house for their entertainment. 
The first person to hang out a sign for a public tavern, was 
Samuel Means, whose house was on the site of present Atlan- 
tic Hotel. 

Three merchants furnished the people with mercantile 
goods. William Ray's store was situated near Wyman, 
James Wallaces', at Wallaces' Creek, and Samuel Shaw's up 
the river near the Cherryfield line. William Ray is said to 
have kept his accounts on the side of the wall of his store. 
When charging one with a cheese, he made a would-be circle; 
or if it were a grindstone, he made the same character, but 
marked a square within. James Wallaces' old store is now 
the black-smith shop of Mr. Crosby Stevens, situated at 
Wallaces' Creek. At one time John Brown, then a boy, was 
sent up to Col. Shaw's to get some "log wood." Upon ar- 
riving at the store, he :■. ':ed for the goods, but; when asked 
by the merchant for h.- paper bag to put it in, he said he had 
forgotten it. The excuse proved of no avail, the boy had to 
walk home and get the forgotten bag, before the merchant 
w(nild gi\'e him his "log wood." Amos Dyer, David Cor- 
thell, Collins Ray, William Ray, William Dutton, Job. T. 
Wallace, James Mansfield, Moses Fickett, Geoge Wright, 
James Brown and F. T. Sawyer were also early merchants. 

Divine worship was held in a school-house or private 
dwelling houses. Sometimes the people attended services at 
Cherryfield. No ctiurch edifice was erected previous to those 
now m use. Henry Foster, an estimable citizen of the town 
informs the writer that he more than once, when a boy, walk- 



HIBTORICAL 19 

ed to Cherryfield with his shoes under his arm; and, upon 
arriving, put them on and went into the church. Immediate- 
ly, when they come out of the building, the shoes were re- 
moved, for the journey home must be made with bare feet. 
One pair of shoes was made to go a long time in those days. 

The nearest Post-office was Cherryfield or Harrington, 
There could not have been much mail; for no newspaper 
came here, and postage was twenty-five cents on a letter. 
The first postmaster here was George Googins; who was 
succeeded by Warren Lei^hton, the second person to serve in 
that capacity. 

The nearest lawyer and physician was living at Cherry- 
field. The first physician here was Dr. Googins; and the 
first lawyers, Messrs. Downs and Strout. 

The school privileges were limited to one school house, 
situated near the site of Fletcher Campbell's present home- 
stead. This was later moved to Wallaces' Creek. 

The manufacturing plants consisted of a lathe mill at Wal- 
laces' Creek, and a small ship yard near the same site. 
Many of the men worked in the yards at Cherryfield. 

Thus we have a vague description of the present village 
and its surroundings when it was in its infancy. With these, 
what we would term adverse conditions, the early settlers 
were happy and contented. They made the most of their 
meagre privileges, is the secret of it all. Hardly an evening 
passed when a family did not have company, or make the 
same for their neighbor. Perhaps a little of this sociability 
would not harm us today. 

Many are the stories told of the endurance of these early 



20 HISTORICAL 

pioneers. It was a common occurrence for one of our towns- 
men to walk to Macliias in one day. At one time, a number 
of men from this town worked in the ship-yards at Cherry- 
field; and, it was their custom to walk to tlie yards in the 
mornin^i before beginning their days work, and to walk home 
again when it was completed, in loading their vessels with 
lumber for a voyage, they usually rafted it down the river 
during the night, and loaded it aboard the vessel during the 
day, working both day and night, until the vessel was loaded. 
These and many more were the feats of endurance of these 
pioneers of seemingly iron constitutions. It might be well 
for the reader to consider whether or not the present genera- 
tion could repeat them. This brings up the question. Is the 
world growing wiser and weaktr? 

From 1835 to the present time, the town has had not a 
rapid, but a gradual growth in wealth and population. An 
idea of this ma\ be given by scanning the following statistics : 
in 1850, two years after the town incorporation, the popula- 
tion was 1170, while Harrington the mother town had but 960. 
During the next ten years the population of Milbridge had in- 
creased to 1282, Harrington had then 11 30. The estate val- 
uation of Milbridge at that date was ;^2o6,35c;. Harrington, 
$247,133, but in the next ten years, Milbridge overtook and 
passed Harrington in valuation ('f estate, reaching the figures 
;j^29g,747, while the latter was but ;$249,203, or 1^50,000 less 
than this town. In i88o our town had a population of 1802, 
and an estate valuation of $304,779. The next census gives 
Milbridge's population icj)63 and an estate valuation of $389, 
386. The last census, 1900, furnishes the following figure : 



HISTORICAL 21 

population, 1925; polls, 519; estate valuation $469,793. 
Thus the town of Milbridge has increased in population from 
iiyoin 1850, to 1925 in 1900; and in estate valuation from 
$206,359 •'^ i860, to $468,793 at our last census. 

The future of Washington County never looked so pros- 
perous as it does today. The attention of capitalists and 
manufacturers thoughout the country being attracted here. 
Milbridge, situated on the Narragaugus river and bordering on 
the sea, cannot fail, in the near future, to receive with the 
other towns of the County her share of this prosperity. 



Incorporation. 

Milbridge previous to its incorporation was a part of the 
town of Harrington. Before Harrington was made a town, 
1791, the plantations of Cherryfielo, Harrington and Milbridge 
held their meetings and kept theii records as one organization. 

in July 1848 the people in this section of the town of Har- 
rington petitioned the Legislature for incorporation as a 
separate town. The distance to the town meetings then 
held in an old Baptist church at Mill River, and the increase 
in wealth and population on Narraguagus river, were reasons 
for this movement. The prime leader in this act was John L. 
Gardner, the builder of the bridge across the river, for as 
soon as it was completed he began to agitate the question of 
separation. The incorporation act was approved July 14, 
1848. It is an interesting fact to know that the first child 



22 HISTORICAL 

born in this town, was Frederick Dyer, now a citizen of Mil- 
bridge. Mr. Dyer was born the day following the town's in- 
corporation, July 15. 

We herewith submit the Incorporation Act. 



STATE OF MAINE. 

In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and 
forty-eight. 

An act to divide the town of Harrington, and to incorpor- 
ate the town of Milbridge. 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives 
assembled, as follows: — 

Section i. "All that part of the town of Harrington in 
the County of Washington, lying westerly of a line com- 
mencing oil the north of said town in the centre of the chan- 
nels of Mill River, thence following the channel of said river 
in a south-easterly direction to a point sixty rods below the 
end of Ray's Point; thence westerly following the deepest 
water between said Ray's Point and Cow Island and between 
Foster's Island and Pinkham's Island to a point thirty rods 
west of Foster's Island; thence southerly and parallel to shore 
of said Island to the Main ship channel; thence following the 
ship channel out between Trafton's Island and Pond Island to 
the Ocean, with all the islands in said town lying west of the 
line above described with the inhabitants thereon, is hereby- 
set off from said town of Harrington, and incorporated into a 



HISTORICAL 23 

separate town by the name of Milbridge, and vested with all 
the powers, privileges, and immunities, and subject to all the 
duties and liabilities of other incorporated towns agreeably to 
the constitution and laws of the state, and is classed in the 
same representative district as the inhabitants now are." 

The following is a summary of the remaining six sections: 
Section ll., says that the town of Milbridge shall pay their 
share of bills already contracted, shall meet their apportion- 
ment or expenses arising from law suit, accruing from any 
previous act, and shall take care of all paupers within its 
limits. Section 111., states that this town shall pay their share 
of arrear taxes, and apportionment of state tax until the meet- 
ing of the next Legislature, when a tax will be levied on Mil- 
bridge, Section IV,, gives the town of Milbridge its share of 
school money apportioned and not expended, and its portion 
of credit bills out. Section v., says that the town of Harring- 
ton shall report the last valuation of Milbridge to the next 
Legislature, Section VI., gives any Justice of Peace the 
power to issue a v^^arranf for the first town meeting in Mil- 
bridge. Section Vll., says that this Act of Incorporation shall 
go into effect when approved by the Governor. 
A copy of the first Town Warrant is as follows : 
"To William Ray, 2nd, one of the Inhabitants of the town of 
Milbridge. You are hereby requested, in the name of the 
state of Maine, to notify and warn the inhabitants of said 
town, qualified according to the Constitution, to assemble at 
the school-house, on the east side of the Narraguagus river 
near the house of Captain James Brown, on the twenty-first 
day of this month at two o'clock p. m., for the following pur- 



24 HISTORICAL 

poses, viz : — for the election of Moderator, Clerk, three Se- 
lectmen, Assesors, Overseers of the poor, and Treasurer. 
Given under my hands this fourteenth day of August, 1848." 
JOHN T. Wallace, Justice of Peace. 

As requested by the above warrant, the people assembled 
in the school-house near the site of George Sawyer's wharf 
on the east side of the river. The meeting was called to or- 
der by William Ray and the following business transacted. 

Article I, chose Jonathan Upton, Moderator. Article II, 
elected Bradbury Collins, James Wallace, Jr. and R. Sanborn, 
Selectmen and Overseers of the poor for ithe ensuing year. 
Article III, chose James Wallace, Jr., Town Treasurer. Arti- 
cle IV, elected Moses Fickett, Town Clerk. Adjourned "Sine 
dea." 

The name of this town was in all probability suggested by 
John Gardner of Boston. Mr. Gardner completed the erect- 
ion of the bridge across the river, which project had been 
stated by Alexander Foster. The cost of the bridge was 
estimated at $100,000. Here a tide mill was built by this 
Boston firm, and, from this fact, the town was given its name. 

The spelling of Milbridge has been a subject of much dis- 
cussion. Some say that two "Is" should be used because 
the name is a blending of the two words, "mill and bridge." 
They further assert that the early incorporators meant it to 
be such. The one "I" supporters affirm that their spelling 
should prevail for if the towns namers did not mean it to be 
such, they would not have used the spelling with one "1" in 
the Act of Incorporation. They affirm that a mistake could 
not have been made, there, for the word was spelled too 



HCSTORICAL 25 

many times. 

Since its incorporation, the annual town meetings have 
met in the following places as given in the records : 1848-49, 
in the school house; 1850-58 in a Hall above the store of J. 
T. Wallace, Jr. & Co., except in 1856, when it met in a sail 
loft over the store of M. Fickett & Co.; 1858-1865, in the 
Union Meeting House Vestry; 1866 67, in Leighton's Hall; 
i858, in Dyer's Hall; 1869-87, in Farnsworth's Hall, and 
from 1888 to the present time in the Opera House, except in 
1891, when it was held in Farnsworth's Hall.

Military Matters. 

The town of Miibridge is justly entitled to the high esteem 
of the state and nation for her ioyal support of the Govern- 
ment in Military Matters. Whenever the call to arms has 
been sounded, her citizens have ever responded to its appeal. 
True and loyal has she ever stood for our national prestige. 



War of 1775. 

In this struggle for independence, the population of the 
town of Miibridge was too few in numbers to take much of an 
active part. We are sure that some went to the front and 
did bravely and well their part. These, without doubt went 
to the rescue of Machias, when she was besieged and in dan- 
ger of being captured by the enemy, for that town must 
surely have received able and loyal support from its neigh- 
boring towns, to enable it to defend itself successfully against 
the enemy. Some may have taken part in that memorable 
naval battle on June 12, 1775, when the British sloop. Mar- 
guerite, was captured, thus preventing the supply ships in the 
harbor from giving aid to the besieged British troops in Boston. 



War of 1812. 



Throughout this war for national recognition, English war- 



HISTORICAL 2a 

vessels were continually preying all along the coast of Maine 
in pursuit of plunder. More than once did tliey sail across 
Narraguagus Bay, The settlers in this town, along the banks 
of the Narraguagus river, fearing an attack fiom one of these 
ships, left their homes and went to Cherryfleki and Deblois, 
where they remained until their fears abated. 

The story of the fight at Bois Bubert island, when an 
English brig attempted to capture a coasting vessel, is well 
known to the reader, if he be a resident of Milbridge; yet the 
event is always worth hearing. The story goes that an Eng- 
lish Man-of-War appeared off the Island, when, seeing a ves- 
sel loaded with lumber near at hand, they determined to cap- 
ture it. Captain Allen of Harrington who was in charge of 
the coasting vessel saw the intentions of the enemy and made 
ready to meet them. He bade his men make ready the guns 
that were aboard, and place them in position for action. By 
his orders the crew were concealed behind the lumber, while 
he himself walked the deck in full view of the English. The 
enemy advanced in a small barge to seize their easily secured 
prize, but when summoning Captain Allen to surrender they 
received in return a broad-side from the guns. The result 
was the killing of four of their number, and the wounding of 
many more. Instead of being captured, Captain Allen made 
prisoners of the enemy. The English brig's crew, when they 
saw the fate of the barge, made a compromise with Mr. Allen 
and sailed away. The four Englishmen were buried on the 
Island. For his bravery, Captain Allen received a sword 
from the General Government,

War of the Rebellion. 

In the struggle of 1861-65 tlie town of Milhndgc took a 
most prominent part. Hver ready was she to r<use money 
for expenditures, and to send her sons to the tront. Too 
much praise cannot be given those true and loyal men who 
left this town and marched to the scene of conflict. 

At the opening of this war, meetings were held in the vil- 
lage to secure volunteers. These enlisted at Cherryfield and 
neighboring towns, where there was a recruiting office. 
Many of those who enlisted from our town were promoted to 
higher rank than privates for their bravery. 

The following are votes made by the town and recor^led 
on the records: — 
July 24, 1862. 
1st. Voted to raise ?75 for each volunteer. 
2nd. Voted that the selectmen he instructed to hire $1000 on 

one years time or longer tor the purpose of paying the 575

Church History. 

Our early pioneers were a God fearing people, hi all cases 
were they careful in providing for Divine Worship. They 
did not have costly buildings in which to assemble, no fine 
roads on which to travel, yet they always found a place in 
which to meet, and a way to get there at an alloted time. 

At a very early date meetings were held in town. These 
were held at first, in private dwelling houses; later when a 
school house was constructed the people assembled there. No 
church edifice was constructed previous to the present one the 
Union and Methodist. Often the early settlers walked to 
Cherryfield and Harrington to attend the Sabbath meetings. 



32 HISTORICAL 

Many are the hardships that the earl\ ministers of the Gos- 
pel endured. Their reward in worldly goods was but a pit- 
tance. The world's civilization owes mucli to these earnest 
Christian men. 



METHODIST Episcopal Church. 

The first Methodist preaching in this vicinity of this county 
was in about 1790, when Duncan McCobb, a preacher from 
the Provinces, came to this section and preached for a few 
Sabbaths- Jesse Lee, wlien on his trip through Maine, also 
administered to their wants on a few occasions. From that 
time until 1810 there was very little Methodist preaching in 
these parts. 

in 1810, through the efforts o^ Kev. John Grindle, a local 
preacher from the Penobscot Circuit; a society was formed 
in this town on the Narraguagus river. It numbered ten or 
twelve souls. This circuit which comprised Milbridge and 
neighboring towns was supplied until 1820 by a Local 
Preacher from the Conference. At that date the Rev. Joshua 
Nye was sent to this circuit, he was the first settled pastor in 
this charge. 

From 1820 to 1850 the circuit grew in numbers and sever- 
al societies were formed within its limits. A church and par- 
sonage was built at Steuben. 

About 1852 a Union society in Milbridge built the church, 
which has ever since been their place of assembly. A Meth- 



HISTORICAL 33 

odist parsonage was afterwards erected. 

In 1883 when Rev. M. Walbridge was the Methodist pas- 
tor on this charge, the question of repairing and remodeling 
the church, was agitated. This was not carried out until 
1885, then, under the leadership of Rev. H. E. Frohock the 
pastor, the project was started. The parsonage was sold in 
the meantime and with that and other funds subscribed the 
work was begun. Arrangements were made with the forty 
propriet(>rs or pew owners of the church so that the property 
virtually came into the possession of the Methodist Society. 
After many hindrances were overcome, the work was finally 
finished, giving the society its present neat and commodious 
meeting house. 

Today this society is in a flourishing condition. It has a 
well attended Sunday School, and many other church organ- 
izations, many successful and well beloved pastors have filled 
the pulpit of this cliurch. 



Union Church. 

The Union Society of Milbridge was organized in 1853, 
when resolutions were drawn up, and plans were made to 
erect a Union Church. It was to be owned in shares, at a 
cost of $1^0 each, 60 shares being issued and sold to complete 
it. The church was built by contract by J. T. Wallace, and 
dedicated, Wednesday, March 7, 1854. The Dedicatory ser- 
mon was preached by Rev. Mr. Robinson, a Methodist pastor, 
the Dedicatory prayer was maiie by Rev. Mr. Cole, a Baptist 



34 HISTORICAL 

cifr^iyman, and the invocation and closing by Rev. Mr. Milli- 
ken, a Universalist preacher. 

From its beginiiing this cfuirch has ever been open to 
preachers of ail denominations. Ttie first preachers to hold 
religious services in this church were of the Baptist denomi- 
nation; later the Christian denomination began regular ser- 
vices and have remained until the present time. A Congre- 
gationalist pastor is to officiate in the near future. 

Among the surnames of the pastors who have officiated 
over this church are the lollovving: Parsons, Sanborn, Jones, 
Nugent, Walker, Eaton, Chase, Phillips, Hall, Hardway, 
Reed and Latimer. 

At the present time this society is in a flourishing condi- 
tion witli a membership of about sevety-five. The society 
also has a flourishing Sunday School, and owns in addition 
to their church building, a neat and conveniept vestry. 



Free Church. 

The East Side Chapel or Free Church of Milbridge is a 
society formed on the East side of the Narraguagus river. 
Previous to the erection of their present church building, this 
society met in an old school house. 

About 1890, Rev. Elder Leathers, a Methodist clergyman 
came to this society and hired among the people. His labors 
started a revival, with the result that the present House of 
Worship was erected. This was brought about by independ- 



HISTORICAL 35 

ent subscription from its members, and outside friends. The 
building was begun in July, 1891, and finished and dedicated 
during the autumn of that year. T'he Dedicatory sermon was 
preached by Elder Drew of Harrington, and on that occasion, 
the church was cleared of all indebtedness. The cost of this 
new church was estimated at $2000. The architect and 
builder of this building was Gilbert S. Kelley. Mr. Leathers 
remained with the church for apeiiod of four or five years. 
Since his departure, this society has received the ser\'ices of 
the pastors of both, the Methodist and Union churches across 
the river. 



Educational Account. 

The scliool history of the town of Milbridge covers a long 
and interesting period. As a whole we are proud of the rec- 
ord that is handed down. Her representatives, who have left 
the town and entered various phases of work speak well for 
their native town in this department. 

The first schools in town were held in dwelling houses. 
Often the preacher taught these, for in those days, that was 
considered a part of his work. 

Later a school house was built. This was situated near 
the present residence of Fletcher Campbell. This house was 
later moved to Wallace's Creek, where it was destroyed by 
fire. 

The second building to be erected was situated about a 



36 HISTORICAL 

fourth of a mile below August Wallace's store. This was 
constructed to take the place of the first one, for only one 
house was in use for school purposes. Tills Sf^cond edifice 
was likvvise destroyed by tire. 

The third school buildinj.' stood where Joseph Wallace's 
liouse now stands. 

I hese three above mentioned were the earliest school- 
iiouses in town. Later others were erected on tlie Hast bank 
of the rix't-r, and in other parts of the town. 

The school year consisted of two terms annually, which 
were in session a greater part of the time during warm weather. 
With only one school building in use, many were forced to 
walk a long distance to attend it. 

Among the early teachers we have the names o*" Ricker, 
Shaw, Small, and Johnson, Many are the stories told of the 
severe chastisements that some of their pupils received. The 
lot of the teacher in those days could not have been very en- 
ticing. Thev were poorl\- paid, and had to "board round" to 
obtain their subsistence. 

One of the oldest school-houses now standing in town is 
the building in the village, where meets the Grammar, Inter- 
mediate and Primaiy schools. This house was erected ap- 
proximately forty years ago at a cost of $7000. It was built by 
the Village District. About tliis same time, or a little before, 
school was in session in the vestry of the Union Church, 
which seems to have been adapted to various public uses. 

At the present time, tlie standing of the public schools of 
the lower grades, is of the best. The village schools are 
graded, and only competent teachers are secured for each 



HISTOEICAL 37 

district. The town is doing everything possible for the ad- 
vancement of its schools. 

High School. 

Previous to 1888 the town of Milbridge had no Free High 
School. Through the efforts of some of the town's leading 
citizens, who felt their children were not having equal privi- 
leges with those of other towns of its size, several resolutions 
for a high grade institution were passed at the annual town 
meeting of that year. At that meeting the town voted $500 
for the purpose of supporting and establishing a Free High 
School, and $2000 for the erection of a building suitable for 
its use. A committee of five was chosen to select the lot. 
They decided on that now occupied by the High School build- 
ing. The price paid for its location was $250. The High 
School building was erected by Leverett Strout, at a cost of 
^1925. and was completed in the fall of 1888. 

Today this institution, although in its infancy, gives prom- 
ise of a very useful career. The school standard has had a 
gradual advancement until today its graduates are fitted for 
higher advanced institutions. Efficient instructors are em- 
ployed and the school board spares no pains to make this in- 
stitution one of the best in its class. 

Industrial Affairs. 

The town of Milbridge, owing to its situation, has alwav 
been interested in manufacturing and shipping industries. 



38 HISTORICAL 

For the first few years fishing formed the principal branch of 
industry, but, later, lumbering and ship building came to the 
front. 

The first settlers in the Narraguagus valley obtained their 
daily necessities by fishing and hunting. The forests abound- 
ed with wild game, while the river was filled with several 
species of fish. Many are the stories told of their countless 
numbers. Even today the fishing industry is carried on quite 
extensively along the river. 

The vast timber lands to the north of the town of Milbridge 
in the Narraguagus valley, naturally brought the lumber in- 
dustry in town. Although very little of this was manufac- 
tured here, yet greater part of it was rafted down the river, 
and shipped to outside ports in Milbridge vessels. At a very 
early date saw mills were constructed in this town. Some of 
these were situated at Mill River, and others on the banks of 
the Narraguagus. Among the earliest mills here were the 
ones at Wallace's Creek and the "Tide" mill at the bridge, 
The mill at the creek was a lathe plant operated by Jonathan 
Upton, Eli Foster and others. This was in operation as late 
as 1840. The plant at the bridge was constructed by John 
L. Gardner of Boston. It was a saw mill and an unusually 
large one for its day. This mill was in operation at the time 
of the incorporation of the town, 1848. Since that date several 
other small plants have been in operation in various parts of 
the town. 

The lumber that was manufactured was shipped to out- 
side parties and this must be done in vessels, and vessels 
must be built. Thus the natural events brought about the 



HISTORICAL 39 

ship building industry in our town. The first ship-builder in 
this town was Major Joseph Wallace. He constructed several 
vessels at a very early date on the east bank of the river near 
his residence. Again in 1812 or thereabout the Foster Broth- 
ers, James and John, began the erection of a brig above the 
bridge which was never completed because of the embargo 
act and of the war of 1812. Ezekiel D>er and Rufus Fickett 
built vessels at a very early date. Mr. Dyer's yard was at 
Wallace's Creek, while Mr. Fickett's was on tlie east side of 
the river a little below the bridge. The Strout's at Mill-River 
were early ship-builders and built several crafts in their yards 
on that same stream. In later years we have the names W. 
R. Sawyer, J. W. Sawyer, and his three sons, Messrs. War- 
ren, Alonzo and E. E. Sawyer. This family may be termed 
the pioneer ship-builders on this river. 



Present Industries. 

Jasper Wyman & Son is one of Milbridge's most prosper- 
ous industrial concerns. Mr. Wyman first erected a large sar- 
dine factory at the cove, known as Wyman, in 1893. Pre- 
vious to that date he had carried on the same business in town, 
in partnership with his brother, the tum known as J. & E. A. 
Wyman Company. In 1903 and 1904, Mr. Wyman combined 
his sardine business with that of G. A. Sawyer. In 1904 Mr. 
Wyman's factory was destroyed by fire, but he is again re- 
building on the same grounds, and expects to have this factory 



40 HISTORICAL 

in operation by the middle of May, 1905, This new plant will 
employ about 125 hands. Mr. Wyman also operates a clam 
factory which employs about 75 persons. 

G. A. Sawyer, owner and operator of a large sardine 
plant, furnishes employment for many of his townsmen. The 
present factory is the outgrowth of the business started by 
his father, W. R. Sawyer, 23 years ago. The first sardine 
factory was built by W. R. Sawyer in 1882, at a cost of 
$20,000. Mr. Sawyer leased the factory to Wolfe and Rees- 
ing of New York, who carried on the business until 1886. At 
that date J. and E. A. Wyman secured the plant and operated 
it until 1893, when G. A. Sawyer, the present owner took 
possession of the factory. Two years later this factory was 
destroyed by fire, but in its place Mr. Sawyer erected the 
present building at an approximate cost of $10,000. One 
hundred and twenty-five hands are employed and the daily 
output is about 550 cases. Mr. Sawyer also owns one of the 
largest lobster pounds in this section. 

Sawyer Bros, form Milbridge's present ship building con- 
cern. This business is the outgrowth of the business founded 
by their father, J. W. Sawyer, nearly a quarter of a century 
ago. For about ten years Mr. Sawyer operated his yards, and 
constructed many vessels, when his sons, Messrs. Warren, 
Alonzo, and E. E., became associated with him under the 
title of J. W. Sawyer & sons, which firm became known as 
Sawyer Bros, some thirteen years ago. Since that time or 
about five years ago, one of the brothers, Warren, left the 
firm and entered business for himself. His plant was situated 
just below his two brothers and comprised about two acres. 



HISTORICAL 41 

From this yard was launched, about three years since, a four 
master, being the largest sailing craft ever built on the river. 

At the present time this plant is operated by the two 
brothers, Alonzo and E, E. Sawyer, and is equipped with all 
necessary machinery for the construction of modern craft. 

J. C. and G. R. Strout, saw mill operators, have a plant 
in the vicinity of the village. This mill was erected in the fall 
of 1902 at a cost of $1000. They manufactured long lumber 
and laths, some of which are sold to home patronage, but the 
greater part is shipped to Boston and New York. The mill is 
in operation only during the summer months, and employs 
about fifteen hands. 

Warren Sawyer, saw mill operator, has a mill situated at 
Wallace's Creek. This was erected in 19CO. He manufac- 
tures long lumber and shingles. Approximately twelve hands 
are employed. 



Facts of Interest. 

Public Library 

"Read good books first for you will not have a chance to 
read them all" is the sentiment ot this institution wherever 
it may be found. The public library in Milbridge was organ- 
ized April 21, 1896, when Edgar Wyman and six other resi- 
dents of the town met in Charles Peabody's office and elected 



42 HISTORY 

the following officers : J. A. Walling, President; Jasper Wy- 
mam, Vice President; Charles Peabody, Secretary; and War- 
ren Sawyer, Treasurer. The hooks for the library s^ere first 
secured by raising funds by subscriptions of five dollars each. 
The number h,is continually increased until today it has 546 
choice volumes. The town furnished the building for the 
library, and also the librarian, who, at the present time is May 
Smith. Present officers are : J. A. Walling, Pres.; J. W. 
Sawyer, V. Pres.; Warren Sawyer, Treas.; Jasper Wyman, 
Secretary. 



MiLBRiDGE Water Company. 



The Milbridge Water Company was first organized and its 
system laid in 1879, by Wm. R. Sawyer. At its beginning 
2^^ miles of 3-inch pipe was laid at a cost of $5000. The 
water was brought from a boiling spring on Dyer's Hill to all 
parts of the village by means of gravity power, alone, but, 
since then, a wind-mill and kerosene engine have been added 
to increase the power. The piping has also been enlarged to 
a 6-inch pipe, and the spring has a cemented wall that covers 
and entirely surrouni's it. I'he Milbridge Water Company is 
now organized into a stock company, by act of the Legisla- 
ture, March 14, 1895. The present officers are : Jasper 
Wyman, Pres.; Warren Sawyer, Treas.; Geo. A. Sawyer, 
Sec; and Henry M. Leighton, Manager. 



HISTORY 43 

The Milbridge Band. 

At the present time the town of Milbridge has a musical 
organization of which she may be justly proud. The first 
musical organization, what is termed "a brass band" was or- 
ganized in Milbridge in 1872, by Oilman Smith of Jonesport. 
This band had fourteen members, and was considered one of 
the best musical organizations in this part of the state. After 
five years of successful work its members disbanded. 

The present organization was formed Jan, i, 1904, and 
consists of 16 members. Though it is composed largely of 
inexperienced players, yet it already gives promise of a fine 
musical company. Its members meet every Saturday eve- 
ning for rehearsal in their band hall. The following are its 
members: Guy Roberts, leader, solo cornet; Pearl Roberts, solo 
cornet; Fred Rich, first cornet; Samuel Ray, second cornet; 
Joseph Loring, solo clarionet; Russell Wallace, solo alto; 
Fred Leightcn, first alto; Eugene Sawyer second alto; Edgar 
Dyer first tenor; Edmund Kelley, second tenor; Harvey Fos- 
ter, baritone; Frank Gay, first S. trombone; James Wymar., 
E flat tuba; Carl Sawyer, B drum; James Strout, S drum. 



Women's Christian Temperance Union. 

The W. C. T. U. of Milbridge, was organized in Septem- 
ber, 1902, in the Methodist meeting house. This society 
meets every Monday evening in the Union Church vestry. It 



44 HISTORY 

has a present membership of thirty. This organization has 
adopted twelve departments, and each department is doing 
excellent work. Perhaps one of the most worthy departments 
is the work done for the children, through the Loyal Temper- 
ance Legion, in providing clothing for the needy ones. Then 
of the poor children of the town, who have been sent to the 
home in Augusta, through the efforts of Rebecca L Field, an 
efficient worker in securing homes for homeless children. The 
society is also doing everything possible to train the children 
in the principle of total abstinence and purity, and to create a 
stronger sentiment for righteousness, for God, and home, and 
nation. 



Masonic Lodge. 

Pleiade.- Lodge, No. 173, meets every Monday exening in 
the Masonic Hall, it was organized May 7, 1874. Previous 
to its organization the members met with the Narraguagus 
Lodge, No. 88, of Cherryfield. As it was inconvenient for 
them to attend their mother lodge, they met, with her permis- 
sion, and organized a Lodge of instruction, which held its 
meetings in a hall over the old library building. But, later, 
in the year 1874, they requested to be set off by themselves; 
this the mother lodge refused, but it was fmaPy brought be- 
fore the Grand Lodge, May 7, 1874, and the request granted. 

May 18, 1874, the lodge met and organized with sixteen 
members. The present lodge is in a flourishing condition.

Census 1905. 



The population of the town of Milhridge has been arranged 
in families wliere that arrangement has been possible. In 
these families, in addition to the resident living members, the 
names of the non-resident members are included. It should 
be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names 
of all former residents of this town, as the names of the non- 
residents appear only when one or both of the parents are 
still living in the town. After the name of each non-resident 
will be found the present address, when such address has 
been given to us. Non-residents are indicated by thestar(*). 

When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken 
in marriage appears after her given name, in parenthesis, the 
name preceded by a small m, thus: (m,). 

Following the names of the population is the occupation. 
To designate the occupation we have used the more common 
abbreviations and contractions, as follows: Farmer, far; car- 
penter, car; railroad service, R. R. ser; student a member of 
an advanced institution of learning, stu; pupil, a member of a 
lower grade of schools (including all who have reached the 
age of five years), pi; housework, ho; laborer, lab; physician, 
phy; clergymen, clerg; merchant, mer; teacher, tr; black- 
smith, bik; clerk, cl; book-keeper, bk kpr; lawyer, law; me- 
chani;, mech; machinist, mach; engineer, eng; insurance,
