This is a matter that has been too often neglected, especially in many Maine towns which could have furnished ample material, but Garland has been fortunate in this respect, fortunate in having the material and doubly fortu- nate in having a citizen who was both able and willing to make good use of it. It was my privilege to live in Garland and to call the Hon. Lyndon Oak my friend. When I visited him during the latter years of his life, I found him devoting his spare time to writing a history of his town and was greatly interested in the extracts which it gave him pleasure to read to me. The manuscript came into the hands of John M. Oak of Bangor after the death of his father and when he decided to have the history published, it seemed very fitting that the introduction should be written, and the work done in the office of a Garland boy in whom his father had been interested, and so it came about that the book was printed in my office and I have written the introduc- tion. In going through the manuscript, a great deal of matter relat- ing to families and individuals was found to be incomplete, evidently being notes the author had collected but did not live to extend. For this reason it has not been possible to give this matter a place in the history, although it would have added much to its interest had it been completed. Much credit is due Miss Ellen M. Haskell of Garland for her efficient work in editing and preparing the manuscript for the printer, a work for which she was qualified by her familiarity with the history of the town. In this connection it seems appropriate to give a brief sketch of the author of this history and the following was taken from an article written by Henry L. Oak for the American Series of Popular Biographies. At the end of the volume will also be found an article written by Dr. M. C. Fernald of Orono. LISTON P. EVANS. Brief Sketch of Author By Henry L. Oak Hon. Lyndon Oak, teacher and merchant, was born in Bos- cawen, N. H., Sept. 22d, 1816, died in Garland Feb. 17th, 1902. He was educated in the common schools and at Gorham Seminary, where he was subsequently a teacher for twelve years. He con- tinued his professional career for many years, and as an educator met with praiseworthy success. In 1848, he founded the Garland High School, in which he taught the first term, and was so interested in its continuance that he personally guaranteed the salaries of the teachers for the next thirteen years.

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

Shakespeare talked of seven ages of man. More recently Erik Erikson has thought of five separate stages in human life. All of these begin to break down, however, when we think of the end of eras. Partially because of the chronological pressure, such times come at the end of centuries. When one adds to the end of a century the concept of an end of a millennium, the sense of change, of difference, of end time can be very powerful, if not overwhelming. The termination of the nineteenth and the eighteenth centuries were much discussed as to the future.

THE BATTLE OF HAMPDEN AND ITS AFTERMATH BY ROBERT FRASER The successful British attack on the Penobscot Valley in fall 1814 was to annex eastern Maine to Canada, a move taken to protect the important line of communications between Halifax and Quebec. New England merchants had opposed the War of 1812, as it destroyed their interna- tional trade, and most New Englanders tried to remain neutral during the fray. At Hampden, enemy threats brought them out to defend their homes. Although Great Britain returned the area to the United States at war’s end, the occupation of the Penobscot Valley had lasting implica- tions for the District of Maine. Between 1954 and 1984 Robert Fraser was assistant curator at the Cohasset Historical Society and a consultant to other historical societies. He writes historical articles for local newspa- pers and national magazines, and has published two books on light- houses and another on local history.

Tig; list of Brookfield Births, Marriages and Deaths comprised in this volume includes all that were found in the Town Books covering the period from the earliest date there recorded to the end of the year 1849. Some additions have been made from other sources, and these are indicated in each instance by proper reference. All of the records are condensed in print as much as is con- sistent with intelligibility, accuracy, and completeness of infor- mation. Differences in duplicates, and explanatory or other matter which seemed necessary or desirable, appear in brackets. Marriages and intetitions of marriage are printed under the names of both parties, but the full information concerning each person is given only under his or her name. An asterisk after a marriage indicates that the intention is not found recorded, and in many cases this is accounted for by the fact that neither party belonged in Brookfield, and consequently publishment was made elsewhere.
