The original Little River Meeting House (circa 1837) used by Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians was one room with a fireplace. Around 1851 a similar meeting house was built by the Baptists. %*& -,^m% X Researched and Compiled By Church Historians: i 1 Catherine Merrill Bradley 1 Sophia McCall Sue Heath Shipman C5 ^ ££ Jean Pickelsimer Young ^ ^pg@Jm ..- %* \J -_-' : . From the Historical ? Committee /0//cJ /) ±i Thanks is expressed to each for the graaious words of appreciation received from so many of you. Your gratitude is heartwarming. Ernest Merrill's 1938 history proved invaluable as a basis to begin the volume. The supplement should be read in connection with his centennial account. Names were included when apposite to make the history relevant. Surely there are many names meavng. In most group pictures, not all of the members are pictured, and vt was not feasible to try to name all members in most cases. A committed attempt was made to report as accurately as possible. Despite proofreading and. consultations with the printers, obvious errors appear. The historical committee identifies the following glaring mistakes and omissions: Page 3: Table of contents, (First) Picture Section begins on page 101 rather than page 100; (Second) Picture Section begins on page 125. Page 25 Carefree Carolina Development Page 34: (Beginning on fifth line of page) should read, -A special collection was taken for F.M. Jordan and E. Allison at the 1920 (not 1921) associational meeting; the twenty two dollars anoTthirby cents raised was divided between them. They shared equally the collections sixteen of dollars and eighty-three cents in 1921, sixteen dollars and sixty-nine cents in 1922, and thirty dollars in 1923.

The facilities and services at the Little River Baptist Church reveal a depth of devotion to the Lord that is the basis for its many ministries. The faithful leadership which has been the flavoring and preserving salt through the years continues as the signal of God's loving concern for the people this church was ordained to reach. This history is meant to record the past, recognize the present, and encourage the future participation of all whom God calls to membership in the Little River Baptist Church for the salvation of the lost, the sustenance of the saved, and the support of all who serve the Lord anywhere. s h TABLE OF CONTENTS Little River Baptist Church Centennial 4 Deeds to Church Property 10 Additional Notes on Early History 14 Pastors Chart 37 Pictures 38 Biographical Sketc hes 43 Jame s Bly t he 43 Robert H.

  • A STORY of the WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017
    A STORY OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017 The story of the past of any place or people is a history, but this story is so brief and incomplete, I gave the title of “A Story”. Another person could have written quite a different story based on other facts. This story is based on facts collected from various sources and arranged in three ways. Scattered through one will find pictures, mostly old and mostly found in the Alexander- Crawford Historical Society files or with my families’ files. Following this introduction is a series on pictures taken by my great-grandfather, John McAdam Murchie. Next we have a text describing the past by subject. Those subjects are listed at the beginning of that section. The third section is a story told by place. The story of each of the places (32 townships, 3 plantations and a couple of organized towns) is told briefly, but separately. These stories are mostly in phrases and in chronological order. The listed landowners are very incomplete and meant only to give names to the larger picture of ownership from 1783. Maps supplement the stories. This paper is a work in progress and likely never will be complete. I have learned much through the research and writing of this story. I know that some errors must have found their way onto these pages and they are my errors. I know that this story is very incomplete. I hope correction and additions will be made. This is not my story, it is our story and I have made my words available now so they may be used in the Prospective Planning process.

  • Section 9: Recreation and Open Space
    Recreation and Open Space SECTION 9: RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE “Life is best enjoyed when time periods are evenly divided between labor, sleep, and recreation...all people should spend one-third of their time in recreation which is rebuilding, voluntary activity, never idleness.” Brigham Young. “Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.” Thomas Jefferson. 1. Statement of State and Local Goals. A. State Goals: 1. To promote and protect the availability of outdoor recreation opportunities for all Maine citizens, including access to surface waters. B. Local Goals: For Discussion: Goal from the 1999 Comprehensive Plan: GOAL: To promote and protect the availability of outdoor recreation opportunities for all Biddeford citizens, including access to surface waters. 2. What is happening? (Conditions and Trends) A. Background: The City of Biddeford has many recreational opportunities open to residents and visitors. With eighteen parks including three salt water beaches, seven recreational facilities and ten other recreational-type facilities, Biddeford supports a strong recreational environment. As the population grows and/or changes demographically (refer to Demographics), however, the demand and need for recreational options evolves. B. Current Recreational Facilities and Programs in Biddeford: 1. Biddeford’s Beaches, Open Spaces, and Parks: Biddeford City Square. Biddeford City Square is located adjacent to City Hall at 205 Main Street. It is a public space where activities such as Christmas tree lighting occurs. 9-1 Recreation and Open Space Condition: N/A – City Square is essentially a location within the sidewalk.

Erosion or accretion can reshape the beach and dunes over time so EHA remapping is needed for resource protection and coastal develop- ment. This map updates and supersedes the previous Beach and Dune Geology Aerial Photo series maps (Dickson, 2001) that were based on 1986 aerial photographs and field work. Using ESRI ArcGIS, each 1986 photograph was georeferenced, using a minimum of four ground control points per image, to orthophotographs from spring 2003 ORTHO_1F (1-ft resolution) and April 2001 ORTHO_HF (0.5-ft resolution) from the Maine Office of GIS.

  • Hiking the Little River Community Trail, Belfast (South to North, from Rt
    Hiking the Little River Community Trail, Belfast (South to North, from Rt. 1 to Rt. 52) (See page 2 for North to South) Difficulty: moderate Distance: Total is 4 miles one way. (Section 1 is 1 mile. Section 2 is 3 miles.) Hiking time: Total 3 hours. (Section 1 is 45 minutes. Section 2 is 2 hours 15 minutes.) Vertical rise: 400 feed, but terrain is rugged with gully crossings. Maps: Main Atlas and Gazetteer, map 14, B4 Directions: From the US1 and ME 52 traffic light in Belfast, drive US 1 south 2.4 miles, and turn right into the Belfast Water District. Park at the back of the lot (sign) where the trail starts at a kiosk, the trail follows blue blazes one mile to the Perkins Road, crosses, and continues 3 miles to Rt. 52 at the Walsh Ball Fields, diagonally across the street from the YMCA. The trail can be hiked as two separate hikes or as one. This is a good trail to hike, cross-country ski, or snowshoe. In any season it is a gem, and its location right in town makes it easy to get to. The two reservoirs and the Little River are picturesque, peaceful, and hospitable to wildlife. The Hike: Before leaving the Water District parking lot, have a look at the Lower Reservoir. Many species of waterfowl live and feed around its margins. The trail skirts its north shore under tall white pines, and as the reservoir narrows into the river, the trail ascends and descends hilly terrain. The mature woods are populated by nesting songbirds in spring and summer, and offer habitat for resident winter birds.

  • Branch Brook, Merriland River, Little River Watershed Management Plan #2001P-15
    MDEP NPS Management Program Annual Report - 2005 Branch Brook, Merriland River, Little River Watershed Management Plan #2001P-15 Waterbody Name: Merriland River, Branch Brook and Little River Location: Wells, Kennebunk and Sanford, York County Waterbody Status: Branch Brook - NPS Priority Watershed Project Sponsor: Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve Project Duration: May 2001 – February 2005 319 Grant Amount: $19,800 Match: $26,005 PROBLEM: The Little River watershed (31.5 square miles) includes two major tributaries – Branch Brook and Merriland River. Both tributaries begin near the Sanford airport, flow southeasterly and drain land from Wells and Kennebunk. They join together in the upper mile of the Little River estuary. Estuary water quality is considered poor due to high fecal coliform levels, and shellfish harvesting has been closed for the past twenty years. Microbial source tracking in 2002 indicated that about two-thirds of the identified E .coli samples were related to human activity including septic, pets and livestock. The watershed includes a municipal airport at the headwaters of Branch Brook, the aquifer of the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells (KKW) Water District and several conservation lands including Laudholm Farms, Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR), and KKW Water District lands. There is an ever-growing threat of nutrient and toxic contamination from burgeoning commercial, recreational and residential development, much of which is located within 250 feet of the water. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose of the project was to produce a community-based watershed management plan for the Branch Brook, Merriland River and Little River combined watershed. Watershed stakeholders met 9 times to identify current and emerging threats to water quality and develop strategies to manage them.

  • Timber Point Scoping for Environmental Assessment Comments, Notes and Other Input
    Timber Point Scoping for Environmental Assessment Comments, Notes and Other Input Comments, Email, and Letters Layout: Last, First Comment Ackerman, Tammy “I strongly believe the house at Timber Point is worth saving and turning into the Timber Point Resource Center. There is a history worth saving and an opportunity to allow others of lesser means to experience coastal Maine. The opportunity to create a place of low‐impact and small footprint in an already‐built environment is wonderful, a chance to bring people into the Biddeford community from all over the world for artist retreats and residencies, for youth camps, each of which will contribute to the overall community. Keep it and use it well.” ______________________________________________________________________________ Amons, Susan Member of Conservation Commission “10 years Biddeford Conservation Commission; 5 years vice Chair Representing self, Granite Point Resident, Donor Timber Point should be considered as it is now, in its pristine status, as described by US Fish and Wildlife Service. In the matter of structures, they should be maintained, or not, with the least human intervention and presence. Development of a Timber Point Center, or any other public or private use is not consistent with the mission and goals described by fundraiser Wolfe Tone, for US Fish and Wildlife. Granite Point donors were assured there was no intention to create a building for public use. To change that status would be a breach of trust. With donors, who may decline to support US Fish and Wildlife in the future. Several Granite Point donors are legacy donors who helped create the Little River Division of Rachel Carson Refuge.
