HISTORICAL 9
Location — Grants — Proprietors — Incorporation
The town of Turner lies on the west bank of the An-
droscoggin river, in about 44 degrees 15 minutes north
hititude. It is bounded, southerily, by the city of
Auburn and the town of Minot, five and one-half miles
westerly, by Hebron, Buckfield and Hartford, ten
miles and one hundred and eights rods; northerly, by
Livermore, three miles and tw© hundred and fifty
rods; easterly by the Androscoggfn river. Leeds and
Greene, are adjoining towns on the right bank of the
river. It originally constituted a part of Cumberland
county, was afterwards embrace*! in Oxford count}-,
but in 1S42 it became a part of Androscoggin county,
which was at that time created oui of several adjoining
counties. The township was originally granted to the
heirs and assigns of Captain Josej^ S3lvester and his
company, for millitary services rendered in the inva-
sion of Canada under Sir William Phipps, in 1690.
Mr. Dean in his history of Scituate, gives this account
of the Svlvester family: Richard Sylvester, the father
of Captain Joseph, lived in Weymouth in 1633, where
he acquired an unfortunate notoriety by espousing
certain religious opinions too liberal for the age in
which he li\'ed.
Mr. Robert Lenthal, his miTtister at Weymouth,
advanced the sentiment that all baptized persons
should be admitted to the commuaion without further
lO HISTORICAL
trial. This was a heresy, to be noticed by the
Government and he was ordered to retract in presence
of the General Court, with which order he complied.
But Richard Sylvester, who held the same sentiments,
still adhered to his own opinion, and in consequence
of so doint,s was hned and disfranchised by the Govern-
ment. This put him upon removing from the colony,
and he came to Scituate in 1642. Joseph, who was
his third son, settled also in Scituate, and had a farm
on Church Hill in 1664.
Joseph Svlvester of Cumberland county, Elaine,
married Lucy Wade in 17S8. He lived at a place
called Front's Gore. Joseph commanded a company
under the famous Colonel Church, in his eastern expe-
dition against the Indians in 16S9. The next year he
raised a company, sixteen of which belonged to Scitu-
ate, and many of whom never returned, and joined in
the enterprise undertaken by Sir William Phipps
a<^'-ainst the French possessions of Fort Royal and
C^iebec. In this campaign, Israel Chittcdcn was his
lieutenant, and lohn Stetson, ensign. This enterprise
proved disastrous and fatal to the brave Captain Syl-
vester and many of his men.
The historian, be tore quoted, says of them; Many
noncupative wills were entered, and proved in the pro-
bate Court, Flvmouth County, and among the number
was that of Captain Sylvester himself. This will was
proved bv the testimtmy ot three of his soldiers, Ben-
jamin Stetson, John Ferry, and William Ferry, and
_^ HISTORICAL 11
reads thus: I give all my land at Hugh's Cross to my
son Joseph; the three younger sons to be provided tor
by their mother, out of my other property, wife Mary
to be executrix. The Records show also that Timothy
Rogers was appointed to administer on the estate of
Nathaniel Parker, who joined the Canada expedition
of 1690.
The widow Mary was appointed administratrix
on the estate of her husband, Ensign John Stetson.
Eliab Turner was appointed administrator on the estate
of his brother Lazarus Turner, who died in the same
service. Moses Simons, in his will says: Being bound
to Canada as a soldier, in 1690, in case he shall never
return, orders his property to be equally divided be-
tween his brothers; this brother John to be executor.
He did not return, and his will was duly executed.
Samuel Bryant fell in the same expedition, and an in-
ventor}- of his property was taken by William Perry
and Samuel Stetson. Samuel Dwelly died also in this
expedition, and an inventorv of his property was taken
by Jeremiah Hatch and Thotnas Hyland. tlis father
was administrator. Robert Sprout was another that
did not return. These tew names are rescued from
oblivion. Mindful of this service, the General Court
of Massachusetts granted a township of land to the
heirs and assigns of Capt Sylvester and his company,
situated, as supposed, in the province ot Maine; but on
riming the line between Maine and New Hampshire,
the township was found to be in the latter State. A
12 HISTORICAL
petition was then presented by the parties interested,
to the General Court for another township, on which
action was taken as follows ; —
Province of Massachusetts Bay,
In the House of Representatives, June 25, 1761^.
On the petition of James Warren and Joseph
Joslyn, Esqrs. and Mr. Charles Turner, Agents for the
proprietors of a township granted to Capt. Joseph
Sylvester and company who served "in the expedition
against Canada in 1690, which township was known by
the name of S}lvestcr-Canada, and that the whole of
said township, on running the lines between this
Province and New Hampshire, fell with the govern-
ment of New Hampshire. Resohcd, that in lieu
thereof there be granted to the petitioners and the
legal representatives or assigns of the said Joseph
Sylvester and Compan\-, a township of the contents of
seven miles square in the unappropriated land belong-
ing to this Pro\incL*. Provided that the Grantees
within six }cars settle thirt}- families in said town,
build a house tor public worship and settle a learned
Protestant minister, and lay out one sixty-fourth part
of said town for the use of the tirst settled minister
and one sixty-fourth part for the ministrv, and one
other sixty-fourth part for a Grammar School, and one
sixty-fourth part for the use of Harvard College.
Provided, also, the said township be laid out in
such parts of the unappropriated lands belono-in<r

ship granted them by the General Court, and returned a
plan thereof, as required. The township, as located,
was confirmed to them by the following act:
An Act to incorporate the Plantation called Sylvester,
into a town by the name of Turner.
Whereas it appears to this Court that it would be
productive of the public good and for the benefit of
the inhabitants and proprietors of the said plantation,
that the same should be incorporated into a town:
Sect. I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives in the General Court assembled, and
by the authority of the same, that the plantation called
Sylvester, and included within the boundaries described
by this Act., together with the inhabitants thereof, be,
and hereby are, incorporated into a town by the name
of Turner. (Here tollow the boundaries contained in
the original grant to the proprietors,) and the said
town is hereby \ested with all the powers, rights, and
immunities which towns within this commonwealth
are entitled to, or by law do enjoy.
Sect. 2. And be it further enacted by the au-
thority atoresaid tliat Isaac I'arsons, I{s(|., of New
Gloucester, be, and he hereby is empowered to issue
HISTORICAL

his warrant to some principal inhabitant of said town,
requiring him to warn the inhabitants thereof to meet
as he shall therein set torth, to choose all such officers
as towns arc required by law to choose in the months
of March or April annuall}'.
Early Settlement
The earl}- settlement of Turner is a story of the
pioneer in the struggle with nature as is the case in other
towns of the rugged Pine Tree State. The proprietors
were troubled somewhat to secure settlers upon this
tract of land, but finally succeeded in the year 1772 to
induce Daniel Staples, Thomas Records, Joseph Lcavitt
and Abncr Phillips to begin to fall trees with a view to
settlement. With the forest thus br oken the en-
couraging of settlers was much easier.
We give herewith the names of the principal
settlers, the dates-of settlement and the lots taken:
The heads ot families and dates of coming were

THE WAR OF l8l2
In this war the following citizens of the town vol-
unteered, and served on the Canada frontier one year
or more. Capt. Stephen Turner, Isaac Allen, James
Allen, James Allen Jr., Jacob Merrill, William Loni-
bard, Thcodocius ^lerrill, Peter Lombard, John Bailey,
Charles Staples, Josiah Keen, Israel Smith, Jacob
Keen and Barnet Pumpilly. Captain Turner was killed
at the battle of Bridge water, and Thcodocius ^Merrill
died in tiie army. The coast engaged the attention ol
the Maine to a greater degree than did any other phase
of this contlict. The state militia was called into ser-
\ice, and Turner was represented in that branch by
two companies of infantry commanded by Captains
Seth Staples and Aaron Soule, and also a compan\- ot
artillerv commanded by Capt. Leonard Richmond.
These troops were called to the defense of Portland.
AROOSTOOK WAR
Probably no contest of the international nature so
thoroughly aroused the people of Turner and m tact
20 HISTORICAL
the whole state of Maine as did the ''Bloodless Aroos-
took War"" of 1840. This promised at one time to be
a very serious quarrel and the people ot' Maine were
greatly exercised over the danger of having the war
scene on their own territory. But the\" were tar more
concerned over the proposed steal of territory of the
northeastern portion ot the state by Great Britian
through her New Brunswick subjects and so called
upon the Washington authorities to demand justice ot
Great Britian. Washington othcials were not ready to
take hastv action and so the matter dragged along
much to the dissatisfaction of Maine. The State
thereupon took matters in its own hands and raised
money and troops to detend the border. The matter
was settled b}" the Webster-.Vshburton Treat}' in 1842.

Educational Account
The town of Turner has ever been the firm friend
of education, esteeming it one of the bulwarks of the
liberties we cherish so fondly. From the very first
effort was made tc promote its principles in this com-
munity. In accordance with the time honored custom
HISTORICAL 29
of the General Court of Massachusetts, the proprietors
of Sylvester Town (Turner) were required by the act
which secured to them the township, to set apart the
following lands for the different purposes enumerated;
one sixty-fourth part of the township for the support
ol a learned Protestant minister; one sixty-lourth part
for the support of schools in town; one sixty-fourth
part for the benefit of Harvard College. The problem
of handling the ministerial lands was less complicated
than was the one of handling the school lands. The
settled minister tor a number of years cultivated the
ministerial lands and thus secured a portion of his
salary. But the school lands were tor many years un-
productive of revenue. It was proposed to sell the
lands and with the proceeds establish a permanent
fund. The ministerial lands were also to be included
in this sale and the proceeds of that sale to be applied
for the support ot public worship. The petition was
granted in the form ot an act ot the General Court,
passed in the year 1803, entitled: An x\ct to authorize
the raising of a iund for the support of the ministr\',
and a Grammer school in the town of Turner in the
Countv of Cumberland.
This Act provided that a board ot trustees should
be chosen to sell the lands and receive the proceeds,
and also to have the same in charge tor the purposes
above enumerated. Bv the provisions of the Act,
.Ichabod Bonne\", Esq., William Bradtord, Benjamin
Evans, John Turner, Esq., Daniel Cary, Luther Cary
30 HISTORICAL
and John Loring were constituted the Board of Trus-
tees, with power to lill any and all vacancies, maintain-
ing the committee ot" not more than seven members
and not less than tive.
At a meeting ot'the trustees holden at the house
of Ichabod Bonney, Esq., on March 15, 1803, the
board organized with Luther Gary, Esq., president;
Benjamin Evans, clerk*; John Turner, treasurer. A
committee was appointed to appraise the lands.
The ministerial lands were sold to various parties
for cash and notes, for the total sum of $3,850. The
school lands were disposed ot in the same way for the
sum of $2,550,
The ministerial lands were made up of lots. No.
224, No. 126, No. 203 and No. 51. The school lands
were composed of lots number 99, 257, 168, and 4.
It was provided that these funds should not be
productive until the annual interest of the Ibrmer
reached a total of $350, and the latter a sum equal to
$250. For some time the work of the board of trus-
tees was chicll\- looking after the notes and sale ot
lands. It was also provided that when there was money
in the treasurer's hands arising trom this tund it could
be hired by any one in town on conditton that he fur-
nish two acceptable sureties. There was, it is stated,
rarely a time when there was no one in town willing
"to hire money of the town'' as it was called. So well
was the money of these two funds handled that in 1808
the treasurer's report showed that there had been no
HISTORICAL 31
losses and the sum on hand in cash or securities to the
amount of $4,978.99 tor the ministerial fund, and $3,-
376.72 for the school fund.
When the school fund became productive the
trustees were confronted with the problem how to
carry out the provision of the act calling tor grammar
school. The sum was inadequate tor a strictly Gram-
mar Grade, and it did not seem to be right to apply the
revenue to the support of common schools. The town
was desirous that the latter be done and it voted to
secure the trustees from any loss which might occur
tVom such action. For a term ot years this method
was followed.
After a time this method was changed so that the
three largest schools in town were given the money,
and required to t'urnish instruction in the higher
branches. This plan was followed lor a time but tin-
ally abandoned, and in 1828 it was voted that the tund
be used to support a Grammar school for one }ear.
Alden Blossom was chosen to carry the vote into etlect.
This plan was tbllowed tor some time. Twelve weeks
of school was maintained usualh' in ditlerent districts
so that all sections might tare alike. Later instead ot
a term of twelve weeks, the plan of maintaining two
terms of six weeks each during the autumn, has been
followed down to recent years. Thus the wise tore-
sight of the tVamers ot the act granting the tosvn, has
been productive of excellent results.
For some \ears the state's provision for a High
School was made use of — the State assuminir one-halt
32 HISTORICAL
the cost of the High Schools maintained up to the to-
tal sum oi" $250.
The year 1896 witnessed the most important edu-
cational event in the history of this town, when Mr.
James Madison Leavitt of Brooklyn, New York, a na-
tive ot Turner, established here the Leavitt Institute.
This finely equipped institution was the magnificent
gift of Mr. Leavitt. It was opened to the instruction of
the youth in the spring of 1897, with Lauren M. San-
born, A. B., as principal. The institute is located at
Turner Centre' amid the most healthful and beautiful
surroundings, twelve miles distant from Auburn by
stage and eight miles from Buckfield.
The building so generously given by Mr. Leavitt
is one of the finest in the east. Its con\'enience, equip-
ment, and beauty have won universal comment.
The Institute presents four courses ot stud\% viz..
College Preparatory, Latin-Scientific, English and
Normal. It is well supplied with teaching talent and
has justly come into a verv prominent place among the
secondary schools of Maine. The list of Principals
from the tirst, with the dates of their connection with
the school are as iollows:
i896-'97 — Lauren M, Sanborn, A. B.
i897-'o2 — Leland A. Ross, A. B.
i902-'o3 — Horatio P. Barker, A. B.
1903 — Bertram E. Packard, A. B., the present ef-
ficient principal.
The other teachers in charge of the several depart-
ments areas follows: Lelan P. Knapp, A. B., Sub-
HISTORICAL 33
"Master; Lola Merriman, Preceptress; Myrtie B,
Childs, Music, Elocution and Drawing; and Ethel
Jenks, Principal of the Training School.
When Mr. James Madison Leavitt died in iSIarch,
1903, he left a liberal sum as an endowment for this
school. This magniticent Institution coupled with the
strenuous etibrts of the town in previous years in be-
half of education, has made tor the town ot Turner an
excellent reputation in educational circles. All indi-
cations point toward a continuation of her loyal and
successful support of the principles ot education.
Church Account
The history of the progress ot church work in
the town ot Turner is largel}- a history of the different
ilenominations in town. We learn that the fn-st denom-
ination to locate here was tlie Congregationlist. I'he
society was tbunded by the Rev. Charles Turner, who
came from Duxborough, Mass., having been disniissed
from the church at that place. We however under-
stand that this act ot dismissal was not one which car-
ried great blame to the doors of Mr. Turner. The date
of his coming to town was I77^>. On this \isit he
preached in and also baptised two children ol a INIr. lias-
^. HISTORICAL
kell His next visit was in 1789 ^^^ ^^''^^ ^^^^^^ "'^"^
successful than on his previous trip takin,^ several in
covenant relations, baptising several children and one
adult The onlv re-ular services held in this town tor
a cood manv' vcars were led by Deacon Daniel
Merrill, who' c^me here from New Gloucester
Durin- the five vears tollowing Mr. Turner's second
visit t'he onlv preachers here were Revs. B. Brown
ot Westbrook and Nash of Gray. In 1874 Rev. John
Strickland a native of Iladley, Mass., and a graduate
ot Yale, came to this place for regular labors; in Au-
austofthis year a church of tifteen members was or-
aanized. Mr Strickland was called as pastor ot the
new church and was installed as such in September
following.- Six vears later by the vote of the town he
was dismissed. Me did not however comply with this
action and continued in his work, though his salary
was very much limited. He remained until his case
was taken up bv an cclesiastical council and a vote ot
dismissal carried. He then closed his labors for the
time For several vears no services were conducted
and the place became what a previous writer termed it
a spiritual wilderness. In 1S02 complaint was made on
account ot the n.-o-lect of the town to provide religious
services Both Mr. Strickland and Mr. Turner were
employed tor a time. Later Mr. Turner was called by
the tcnvn, but here a controversy began, and man_N
events of local dissension tollowed. Finally the church
chan-ed in name Irom the Pre,sbeterian to the
was
1771734
HISTORICAL 35
Congregational denomination. Soon after the church is-
sued a call to the Rev. Aniasa Smith as their pastor.
This choice was ratified by the town and Mr. Smith
was ordained by the church on Ma\' 23, 1804. How-
ever there were some in town who did not tavor Mr.
Smith and it was not long be tore a Universalist society
was organized here.
This was the parting of the ways and the two
societies organized themseh-es into two separate
churches. The Universalists had tittv-lour original
members. However as we have seen in the educa-
tional account the public lands set apart for the sup-
port ot the church and schools did not become pro-
ductive for some time alter this. The tax on the re-
maining members of the Congregational Societv was
heavy, on account ol the forming of a new societv,
and the consequent loss of the support of" those who
joined the new movement.
In 1806 a meeting was held to consider the dis-
missal of Mr. Smith, and alter much discussion it was
found that the necessary number of votes to carr\-
the dismissal had not been cast. But a few of the
members conferred with the pastor and it was agreed
his labors should cease sometime in the near future.
lie was later installed as pastor of the North Yar-
mouth Church.
For four }ears following the dismissal of Mr. Smith
there was no pastor. In 1810 Rev. Allen CireeleN' be-
gan preaching here as a candidate for settlement. The
36 HISTORICAL
society voted to settle him and he was ordained on
October 24, 18 10. Mr. Greclcv was continued here as
pastor until 1844. His work it is needless to say was
productive ofgood results.
One of the most bitter contests in the history of the
town was one over the problem who should receive
the benetit of the ministerial fund which had become
productive soon alter Mr. Greeley's settlement. This
contest was lontj and severe. The followinsj is a brief
statement of the main facts connected with it.
The society over which ^Nlr. Greelev was pastor
had been designated the one which should receive the
benefit of the returns from the ministerial funds. In
1811 the trustees of that fund voted to pay him $70.00
and so continued till a controversy arose. The other
societies in town began to feel that they should also
share in this fund. The Baptist society was incorpora-
in 1792 and the Universalist societv was formed not
long after. The two other societies made their claim
tor their share of the funds. The trustees denied their
right to share in it. The next action was an attempt
to dismiss ^Ir. Grcclc\' and to establish Rc\'. George
Bates of the Universalist society in his stead. Much
confusion arose botli in the meeting which voted on
the matter and outside of it. Much hard feeling was
caused and the two claimants carried their greviances
to the courts of law.
But it was finally agreed to compromise the matter
by dividing the proceeds of the fund between Mr.
HISTORICAL 37
Greeley and Mr. Bates, and also it was provided that
each party to the suits then pending, should settle his
own costs. This compromise lasted five years. When
the time had expired, the matter was again open to
public discussion and ditficulties returned. This time
an act was passed by the Legislature which provided
means tor the settlement of the matter. The provision
was that the trustees should divide the lunds between
the several Protestant ministers in town, in proportion
to the number of polls adhering or belonging to the so-
cieties of the said ministers, respectivelv. This seems
to have settled the trouble permanentlv and no turther
strife is reported over the matter.
The later pastors ot the Congregational Church ot
Turner have been the following: Rev, Henry Eddy
Irom 1844 to 1846; Rev. W. L. James from 1846 to
1847; Rev. John Dodd from 1847 to 1854; Rev.
Samuel Bowker trom 1855 to 1S60; Rev. S. C. liiggins

38 HISTORICAL
A- C. Gilmore from April 14, 1901 to September i, 1903.
Sumner Sargent began his labors Deeember 13, 190,^.
In 1894, while Rev. F. A. Sanborn was pastor, the par-
sonage was repaired, a new ell being built at an ex-
pense of $300. In 1898 a ehapel was added to the
chureh building, costing $1200.
UNIVERSALIST CHURCH
As we have already stated the Universalist church
was organized in Turner at an early date. The peti-
tion of the members who were to tbrm the societ\'
was dated at Turner on December 24, 1803, and was
signed by titty-two persons. There was considerable
opposition on the part of the members of the lirst
parish. Thev petitioned the General Court to protest
against the organization of the societv, claiming that
there was not the real purpose of a church societ\', but
an attempt to escape the burdens of taxation. The
act oi incorporation was unsatisiactorx" to the Unix'er-
salists themselves. This was because it limited the
time for receiving members to one year and made no
provision tor receiving them alter that time. How-
ever it was accepted and later was recinded by vote ot
the Maine Legislatuic.
It is stated that the first pastor of this church or
rather the tirst preacher was Rev. Thomas Barnes ot
Poland. He was not a settled preacher at this place,
HISTORICAL 39
but trom iSoi till his death in 1816 he was a preacher
here frequently. In 1806 Rev. Sabastian Streeter, a
native ot New Hampshire, preached here and awak-
ened a deep interest in his belief. During the time
previous to 1824 the preachers were as follows Revs.
William Frost, Thomas Barnes, Jabez Woodman,
William Farewell, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sargeant, Benjamin
Thorn and others. Rev. Sylvanus Cobb commenced
about 1S24 to preach to this society and remained with
them two or three years.
Among the other preachers who have been ident-
ified with this society are the following: Rev. George
Bates, Rev. W. R. French, Rev. H. C. Munson, Rev.
G. M. D. Barnes, Rev. John Kimball, Rev. W. W.
Smith and James Eastwood.
BAPTISTS
The Baptists ot this town were organized on Nov-
ember 17, 1792. Until 1S16 there were but few
additions to this church. In 1S16 there was a revival
to quite an extent and many were taken into member-
ship. Elder Ricker of Minot became their preacher at
this time. The first regular pastor was Rev. Adam
Wilson D. D. Others have been the following: John
Hill, Charles Miller, William O. Grant, Josiah Hough-
ton, Eliab Coy, Elder Curtis, Nathaniel Butler, C.
Ayer, L. D. Hall, II. B. Marshall, Abner Morrill, Rev.
40 HISTORICAL
John Richardson, I. Record, A. A. Smith, S. A. Sever-
ance, C. T. Clark, N. G. French, and others.
METHODISTS
The Methodists in this town did not organize till
a comparatively late date. The year 1879 witnessed
the organization of a society of this denomination by
Rev. S. T. Record, at Turner Village. He remained
with the church for a term ot three vears. His suc-
cessor was Rev. N. C. Clitibrd, who remained for one
year. Rev J. Moulton came to this church in 1S83 and
remained three years. Rev. John P. Roberts came
here in 1886 and remained one year. He was suc-
ceeded by Rev. M. C. Mabry, who was the pastor until
1891. His pastorate was very successful, adding manv
new members and maintaining an interest which was
very encouraging. He was succeeded by Rev. A. B.
Graffam. Among others ha\e been C. H. B. Seli^-er
and the present pastor, W. S. Jones.
MEETING HOUSES
The first meeting house erected in the town ot
Turner was built in 17S3 on "Upper street". It was
built by the following contractors who made their con-
tract with the proprietors ot the town: Samuel Blake,
HISTORICAL 41
Henry Jones, John Keen, Nathan Niles, William Bed-
ford, Joseph Leavitt, Benjamin Jones and Jabez Merrill.
These men were paid £78 for the work and the
building was to have the tollowing dimensions: not
less than 35 feet square, 20 feet posts. Other specifica-
tion were as follows: To board and clapboard
the walls, board and shingle the root, set twentv-four
window frames, glaze six windows, and lay the lower
floor.
The settlers became the owners oi the church and
until 1819 it was the only church building in town.
On that date the Congregationalists built a church
further west, which stood until 1836 when it was des-
troyed by fire. It was rebuilt on the site of the town
meeting house. Not man\- years later this was sold
and the one at the village was built.
The Un:versalist church was erected on Lower
street in 1S25. This house was taken down in 1848
and a new one put up at Turner Centre.
At Richmond's Corner the Universalists in 1S41
put up a chapel, but as it was used by them only a
portion of the time it was thrown open to anv religious
sect which might wish to use it the remainder of the
time.
The Union church was built at North Turner and
dedicated in 1877 free tVom debt.

44 HISTORICAL
Post Offices and Mail Routes
We quote the following from Rev. Dr. French:
"The first county road through the town passed
along Upper street, so called, and probably down b}'
Mr. Barrill's, through the woods by the residence of
Deacon Martin Bradford, where Alden Briijcrs now
(1886) lives, over Dillingham Hill to North Auburn,
thence over West Auburn Hill and Perkins Ridge to
Minot Corner, known tormcrlv as Gro\eneur''s Corner
through Poland and New Gloucester on to Portland.
The road was extended north trom Upper street as the
needs ot the settlers required. Inquirv makes it prob-
able that this was the road traveled manv years to and
from Portland, and that this was substantially the route
by which the tirst settlers reached the plantation when
the road was a path through the woods, and spotted
trees served as jruide boards."
Personal
HON. EUGENE HALE
Hon. Eugene Hale, the present junior United
States Senator from Maine, was a native ol this town
HISTORICAL 45
where he was born in the year 1836. Mr. Hale was
the son of James Sulli\an Hale and Betsey (Staples)
Hale. He received his educational training in the
Turner schools and at Hebron Academy. He entered
the profession of the law, studying in the office of
Howard & Strout of Portland. When he reached the
age of twenty-one he opened an office in Orland Maine.
He soon remo\ed to Ellsworth where he entered into
a partnership with Mr. Robinson, a well known lawyer
and with a large practice. Mr. Robinson soon died
and Mr. Hale succeeded to the business.
He was later elected County Attorney and held
the position for several years. He next went to the
Maine Legislature, and after serving several terms was
chosen a member of Congress where he served ten
}-ears. In 1881 he was sent to the United States Senate
and has held his position there ever since. He has by
his steady persistence, his high order of ability, his ex-
ceptionally good estimate of human nature, and his
unswerving loyalty to his duties, advanced himself to a
position of great prominence and infiuence in the
I'nited States Go\ernmcnt at Washiuirton.
SOLON CHASE
Solon Chase was born in the town of Turner on
January 14, 1.S22. He recci\-cd his education in the
common schools of this town and in Gorham Sem-
46 HISTORICAL
inary. lie was once admitted to the West Point
Military school on an appointment of President Tyler,
but was alter a three weeks sta}- pronounced physical!}-
unsound and was dismissed. In Politics Mr. Chase
was a whig prior to the war ot' the Rebellion. lie
joined forces with the Republicans during the war
serving two terms in the Maine House with Blaine,
Dmgley and Frye. Alter the war he was appointed
internal revenue collector by President Johnson, but
like Johnson's other nominations Chase's was not con-
firmed. Soon after the war was closed the ''Green-
back Times'" came on and in this moxement it is need-
less to say that Solon Chase was deepl\- concerned.
His ''Them Steers" has become a term known
where\er the American pc^litical joiu'nals are read. It
suti'ices to say that when Mr. Weaver was nominated
by the Greenbacks lor President, Solon Chase stood
next in the conxention in the number of Notes recei\'ed.
Mr. Chase published ''Chase's Chronicle" at Chase's
Mills for about lour years. It was then removed to
Portland and published about a Near as "The Green-
back Labor Chronicle.'' He next started "Chase's
Inquirer" and jniblished it about two years when it
was remoxed to Auburn and suspended in ab(nit six
months. The last paper which Mr. Chase published
was entitled "Them Steers" which advocated the
"Anti Fusion" idea, but the paper Nvas discontinued in
about a n ear.
Mr. Chase is noNv living at Chase's Mills on the
farm n\ here he Nvas born, neaih' 82 n ears of age, hale
Historical 47

in his interest in public atiairs as e\'er.

HISTORICAL
TURNER CENTRE DAIRYING ASSOCIATION
The Turner Centre Dairying Association was in-
corporated in 1882, for the manutacture ' of butter,
cheese and evaporated apples. The industry estab-
lished by this company, is located in a rich valley at
Turner Centre, surrounded by splendid hill and valley
farms, conducted by intelligent, wide awake farmers.
A cheese factory was located there early in the intro-
duction of the associated system of dairying in Maine.
This was successful, and the product had a great rep-
utation. Later the creamery system was introduced
and, still retaining the cheese factory, the basement
was filled up, and Edwin L. Bradford began to make
butter, February 4, 18S4. As the excellence of the
product became known, the best markets sought its
fToods. This attracted the attention of the farmers antl
private dairymen, who also turned their cream into the
factor^-. In 1888 the manufacture ot cheese was
abandoned, the building remodelled and rchtted into a
first- class creamery, with all the facilities to carry en
a large business. The business is done under the name
Turner Centre Creamery. It has a warehouse on M;iin
■ street, Lewiston, and sends a large amount of cream u>
^lassachusetts cities.
