It is bounded on the north by Lebanon, on the east by North Berwick, on the south by South Ber wick, and on the west by the towns of Rochester, Somersworth and Rollinsford, in Strafford County, New Hampshire. The average length of the town is eight miles, and width five miles. The 1900 census gives its population approximately two thousand, area 30.000 acres, number of poles 653 and valuation of estates $953,641. The town was originally the north ern part of Kittery, the first town incorporated in the 6 HISTORICAL state of Maine, and was called by the Indians, Newichawannock. Prior to its incorporation it was known as the parish of Unity, a name supposed to have been given, either because ot the quiet and peaceful disposition of the settlers, or from their church which no doubt was Unitarian. June 9, 1713 it was incorporated as a town under the name of Berwick, so called from one of the Ber- wicks of England or Scotland. February 12, 1814, South Berwick known as the Lower Parish was taken from the south side, and North Berwick the eastern part of the Upper Parish from the North-east, March 22, 1831. Thus the town of Berwick at its incorpor ation comprised all that is now North, South and the present Berwick, with the exception oi a small tri angular piece, taken from York, and annexed to South Berwick in 1834. The conditions in the town for agricultural interests are excellent, and this branch of industry is prosperous. The soil in the southern part of the town is very fertile, while in the northern it is sandy. Forests of pine, hemlock and spruce abound although much has been cut during the past few years, and ever finds a ready market. The railroad facilities are good. The western branch of the Boston and Maine runs through the southern part of the town, while the northern division of the same road comes within a few rods of the town line, at Somerswortb, New Hampshire, on the western side. Excellent water power is available. The Salmon Falls River on the i HISTORICAL 7 western boundary furnishes a large supply of water for manufacturing, while the Little River in the north ern part and the Worcester River in the southern half, both flowing in a southeasterly direction and emptying into the large river, the Salmon Falls, contains many advantageous mill sites. The discription of this most historic town would be incomplete were we to forget the picturesque scenery along the banks of its rivers, the ancient land marks the reminders of the past and the old family burying grounds, the resting place of many a heroic pioneer. Nor would we pass by the sacred battle grounds hallowed by the sacrifice of life in the en counters.with the Red Man. As we view this mag nificent panorama we can truly say with the poet, "True and great were those who sowed that which we now reap." Indian History. The story of the Indian is ever interesting to stu dents of history. Few and simple were his laws, yet more generally observed than the numerous enact ments of civilized nations which fill many volumes of statute books. The Indian history of Berwick centers about three distinct tribes of red men. The Newich- awannocks living on the banks of the Piscataqua; the i 8 HISTORICAL Sokokis, or Saco tribe, in the vicinity of the Saco River, and several tribes living in Canada. The first tribe the Newichawannocks, called by Williamson, the Piscataquas, are best known to the people of Berwick, living as they did, almost side by side with the early settlers of the town, the early pioneers considering them good neighbors. Unlike many of their neigh boring tribes, this race of Indians was ever peaceful with the whites. Abused, neglected and even cheated out of their own homes by many of the settlers, yet they never retaliated with the hatchet. Their acts of friendship were of no small number. They sold land to the whites, and traded with them their spoils of archery. Rowles, their Sagamore, sold land to Humphrey Chadbourne and Thomas Spencer, the former being the oldest Indian deed in the records of Maine. We are ever reminded of this race by the historic Indian names, given by them to different parts of the town, and many of which are kept today. The second tribe, the Sokokis, are perhaps known as well as the former but not with the same interest and feeling. Unlike the Newichawannocks, these Indians were ever ready to injure the whites, and found many opportunities to do so. This race lived to the east of the Saco River as far as the Passamaquoddy, and are known as the Saco Indians. The mention of the name, King Phillip, is sufficient to acquaint the reader with this tribe. The last, the tribes of Canada, are best known in the French and Indian war. The story of that conflict, k HISTORICAL 9 is known well to the reader, and the part acted by these Indians, gives us a good insight into their character. The early pioneers got along fairly well at first with the red men. Perhaps this condition was caused more by fear than by friendship, knowing as he did that all quarrels with the white men would be ruinous to the Indian. Finally this tranquility was broken, the red men influenced by the French, and encouraged by their chieftains, and aware that their hunting grounds would soon be overrun by the whites, and a condition of hostilities was brought about. Berwick situated as she was, an inland town facing the unbroken forests, the home of the painted warrior, was among the first to be assailed. Her period of suffering and blood-shed covers many years. Hostilities began with the opening of King Phillip's war, 1675. Squando the Sagamore of the Saco tribe was the leader in the movement. He desired revenge against the whites for an act of injury and insult (as he claimed when persuading his own race to take up arms) against himself and his race. It seems that at one time his squaw was passing along the Saco River in a canoe, with her infant child, when she was accosted by several rude sailors who having heard that the Indian children could swim as naturally as the young of the lower animals, approached her, and in a fit of humor overset the canoe to try the experiment. The child sank, and though the mother diving, brought it up alive, it soon after died, and the parents claimed its death was due to the ill-treatment. IO . HISTORICAL Other causes for an opening of war, were brought forward, yet the spirit of jealousy no doubt caused the movement. The Indians first attacked the settle ments near Saco. and then proceeded towards the Pis- cataqua river, intending to make an assault upon any defenceless place. The first place to be assailed was the dwelling house of Mr. Richard Tozier, situated where is now the residence of Mr. Charles Collins, on the South Berwick road a short distance from the rail road. Mr. Tozier and the men of his neighborhood were absent at the time, as they had gone to the aid of Saco, when help was requested. Mr. Tozier's family consisted of fifteen persons all women and children. Upon this defenceless family the Indians made an attack. Their approach was first discovered by a "young heroess" as she is termed, who while the rest of the family were escaping, kept the door fast against the Indians, until they chopped it down with their hatchets, with which they knocked her senseless. But the poor maid who had ventured her life to save many others, was, by a strange providence enabled to re cover sufficient strength after they were gone to find her way to a near by garrison where she was healed of her wounds and,restored to perfect health. The savages on the day following set fire to the house and buildings of Captain Wilcoln and reduced them to ashes. Some of the men from garrisons pur sued the fleeling Indians but night-fall checked their endeavors. These two attacks nerved the settlers to HISTORICAL II action. Troops were sent from Boston to aid the settlements, and everything possible was done to meet another attack. It is said that some sections went so far as to offer a bounty 01 $5.00 for every Indian scalp secured. A letter addressed to two gentlemen at Dover communicates the distress of that place. "To Richard Waldron and Lieutenant Coffin: These are to inform you that the Indians are just now engaging us with at least one hundred men and have already slain four of our men, Richard Tozier, James Berry, Isaac Bottes and Tozier's son, and burned Benoni Hodsdon's house. Sirs, if ever you have any love for us, show yourselves with men to help us, or else we are in great danger of being slain, unless our God wonderfully appears for our deliverance. They that cannot fight let them pray. Roger Plaisted, George Broughton." Mr. Toziei's residence was the object of a second attack. The fol lowing month on October 16, Mr. Tozier was killed and his son carried into captivity. Lieutenant Roger Plaisted, the commander of the garrison, sent a portion of his men to the rescue, but, falling into an ambush, they finally made their escape, not however, until three of their number were slain. Mr. Plaisted then set out with a party to recover the three bodies of his fallen comrades and was attacked by one hundred and fifty Indians. In the battle which followed Mr. Plaisted, one son and a third man was killed. A second son died soon after- 12 HISTORICAL ward of wounds received in the fight. He and his two sons were buried on his own land near the battle ground in full view from the highway. Their lettered tomb stones bear this inscription, "Near this place lies buried the body of Roger Plaisted, who was killed by the Indians, October 16, 1675, aged 48 years, also the body of his son, Roger Plaisted, who was killed at the same time." This burying spot is in full view of the road from Berwick village to South Berwick, and has been enclosed by an iron railing. In retiring, the Indians burned several buildings and killed a number of settlers. The town again suffered an attack in the French and Indian war (1688-92). In March 18, 1690 the most famous attack was made upon Newichawannock. A band of Indians led by Hartel, a Canadian officer, and the famous Hopegood, made the assault upon the set tlement at daybreak, in three different places. The defenders of the settlement fought heroically but were finally forced to surrender, but not until over thirty of their number were slain. The remaining number, fif ty-four, mostly women and children, were taken captive. The enemy burned all the houses and mills as far as the Great Works river, then after taking all the plunder they could carry, retreated northward. The enemy were pursued by a party of one hun dred and forty men who came upon them at Wor steds Brook at a narrow bridge. Hartel, expecting an attack, placed his men in an advantageous position on HISTORICAL 13 the banks of the stream. They fought all the afternoon but with little loss on either side. The French and Indians held their pursuers in check until night and then continued their retreat, tormenting their captives with shocking cruelty. Among these unfortunate cap tives was Mrs. Mehitable Goodwin, Hetty Goodwin as she was always called, who was taken by the Indians with her husband and baby. The husband and wife were separated by two parties of savages, and set forth on their long and tedious journey to Canada, each believing the other to be dead and leaving behind them their comfortable farm on a beautiful hill near Plaisted Garrison. In the early part of the march one of the Indians snatched the babe from its mother's arms and dashed its head against a stone; and when the poor mother dragged her weary steps behind the rest and could not still her cries, they threatened to kill her in the same way if she did not stop weeping. At night fall she was stooping over a brook trying to wash a bloody handkerchief and her tears were falling fast, again. She forgot the threat of her captives. Sud denly a compassionate squaw, pitying the poor lonely mother, threw some water in her face as if in derision. "This squaw had a mother's heart," the old people used to say in telling the story in Canada. The captives suffered great hardships, and "Hetty Goodwin, a well off woman" was sometimes so hungry that she stole food from the pigs. She was bought at last by a Frenchman and supposing her husband to be dead and 14 HISTORICAL despairing of ever reaching home again she married him and bore two children. Their names corrupt from the French were Rand; and the Plymouth family of the name is said to be descended from them. The captive husband afterwards gained his freedom and being informed that his wife was still alive went back to Canada and found her and brought her back, after which they lived unmolested and were the parents of many children. Hetty Goodwin's halt buried head stone may still be seen in the Old Fields burying ground. Robert Rogers being unable to carry the burden which they had imposed upon him, dropped it in the path and went aside in the woods to conceal him self. The Indians when they had found him tortured him in the most cruel manner. They first stripped him and after beating him with clubs tied him to a stake and kindled a fire about him. The Indians would not let him have a speedy death but would push the fire towards him then draw it away, so as to give him a chance to breath thus prolonging his sufferings. The noise of the groans of the dying man was drowned, by the hideous yells of the Indians, as they danced about him, cutting off' pieces of flesh and throwing it into his face. This was all done in view of the other captives. Mary Ferguson, a young girl, burst into tears because of the hugh burden that was placed upon her, and declared she could go no further. An Indian led HISTORICAL 15 her aside and cut oft" her head holding it up exclaiming "so I will do with you all if you cry or complain." Mary Plaisted was taken with a child three weeks old and forced to travel through the snow. To ease her of her burden they dashed the child against a tree and hung it upon one of its branches, telling the mother she might come that way again and have the pleasure of seeing it. These are a few instances of the way that those who were taken captive in that battle were treated. The journey to Canada, through swamps, heavrily bur dened, with scanty clothing and food, cannot be pictured on paper. In July 1690, Hopegood, a leader in the first attack again appeared on the scene, with a gang of ruffins and proceeded to burn the settlement of the town. The entire settlement (not the whole of Ber wick) was wiped out. The settlement known as Salmon Falls was destroyed but because of the strength of the whites the Indians did not venture below the Great Works river. As a specimen of the character of Hopegood an incident is told of his cruelty to a small boy whom he had taken captive. James Keay, a boy five years old is the "one referred to and because he was lonely and cried for his parents, They stripped him and having tied him to a tree whipped him until he was covered with blood, to stop his cr}*ing. Soon after he had a sore eye, and Hopegood said it was caused by crying and 16 HISTORICAL then he turned it from its socket with with his thumb. Afterwards when the child could not keep up in traveling he split its head open with a hatchet. In 1703, four men were killed and several taken prisoners. The Indians on the 26th of September of that year attacked a garrison in the south part of the town but were repulsed. We might enumerate many other instances of the bloody hand of the savage, for he was ever ready to wield that deadly weapon upon his supposed menacer, yet it would only prejudice us against him. The savage, cruel as he was, had many good qual ities, and also many grievances at the hands of his pale faced neighbors. Whatever we may feel to be the true estimate of the Indian, we must not lose sight of the fact that he was a semi-barbarian and was being robbed of his former home. He fought according to the methods of the Indian race and is not to be blamed for that. Our course should be to treat as well as pos sible this race, forced to the west and made destitute of lands, home and nationality. HISTORICAL 17 At the same or nearly the same time James Good win and two other persons were slain while at work in their fields. On May 4, 1705, many persons were surprised near Spruce Creek. Three were killed and several more were taken captives. Enoch Hutchins was the > heaviest sufferer, he losing his wife and family at that time. On the twenty-first of that same month James Tobey and his son, James, were slain in the woods by the Indians. John Rogers was wounded but succeeded in escaping. On June 6, 1706, Lieutenant John Shapleigh was , killed and his son, Nicholas, taken prisoner and carried to Canada. Ten days later Phillip Carpenter, his wife and four children were slain at Spruce Creek. On September 30, of the following year, James Ferguson and wife were slain by the redskins as they were returning from the meeting house in Berwick. We might enumerate many other instances of the bloody hand of the savage, for he was ever ready to wield that deadly weapon upon his supposed menacer, yet it would only prejudice us against him. The savage, cruel as he was, had many good qual ities, and also many grievances at the hands of his pale faced neighbors. Whatever we may feel to be the true estimate of the Indian, we must not lose sight of the fact that he was a semi-barbarian and was being robbed of his former home. He fought according to the methods of the Indian race and is not to be blamed for 18 HISTORICAL that. Our course should be to treat as well as pos sible this race, forced to the west and made destitute of lands, home and nationality. Early Settlement Who owned Berwick—First White Visitor—Lower Settlement—Berwick's Date of Settlement—Set tlers—Second Influx of Settlers—Grants of Land —Growth of Settlements—Friends or Quakers— Witchcraft Past—Present. In tracing the early settlement of Berwick, the writer does not intend to give extended details, for space does not permit, but will narrate the more im portant events in as concise and chonological a manner as possible. In giving the history of the present Ber wick, the writer must take the reader back to the first settlement in what was originally Berwick, trace out the gradual trend of the people as they populated the three Berwicks. Berwick was originally a part of the posessions of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, a man of great HISTORICAL 19 integrity and whose influence and liberality made possible the establishment of permanent settlements at Saco, York and Kittery. The first white person to set foot on Berwick soil was no doubt Martin Pring. He, through the aid and influence of the city officials and merchants of the city of Bristol, England, actually visited our coast with two vessels on June 7, 1603. Soon after, he explored the region of the Piscataqua up as far as. Berwick, some three or tour leagues, so the records read. Gorges in his history says, Pring made a perfect survey of all these rivers and harbors and brought the most exact account of the coast that had come to hand. Captain Batholomew Gosnold sailed from England the previous year, 1602, but visited only the coast of Maine. Pring's pilot on this second voyage (it is said) was one of the sailors in the Gosnold expedition. These proofs and others are sufficient to convince us that this region along the Piscataqua was visited by white people before the Jameston settlement, 1607. Piscataqua, be low the present South Berwick line, between that town and Eliot was settled (it is safe to say) as early as 1623. The exact date of the first settlement in Berwick is a problem for solution. Depositions are given that would imply that it was settled at an earlier date than was possible. One record reads that a Mr. Thompson's grant was bounded on the east by the old county road, 20 HISTORICAL as it was settled in 1608. This we know cannot be true. Often the statement is made that Piscataqua was settled as early as 1623-24, but as this applied to the whole region we cannot use it as absolute proof for Berwick's date settlement. The fact is that we do not know when the first person settled in the limits of the three Berwicks but we are not safe in placing the first settlement before 1631. All historians agree in placing Ambrose Gibbens the first settler of Berwick. Mr. Gibbens did not come over from England until 1630, and at that time explored the town in the interest of the Laconia Company, of which he was an agent, in this section of the country. There is positive proof of the time of his arrival. After exploring the town he went ^away returning the following year, 1631, when he made a settlement near Quamphegan Falls, the head of navigation on the Piscataqua. The following year 1632 his wife and daughter, then a young lady, came to live with him. In a letter written in 1633, dated at Newichawan- nock, the Indian name for Berwick, Gibbens states that he is far from any white neighbors, and his house hold consists of his family and four men whose names were Thomas Blake, Thomas Crockett, Stephen Kidder and Charles Knill. This letter implies that there was no settlement near him at this time. There probably were travellers interested in various enterprises moving up and down the river, for in that same letter Gibbens speaks of his household usually numbering ten. Mr. HISTORICAL 21 Gibbens did not remain long in Berwick, for we have a record of his being in New Hampshire in 1634. In tact he took out a grant of land on the New Hamp shire side opposite the junction of the Great Works river with the Piscataqua. The Dover records contain the grant. In 1634 a shipload of immigrants came from Eng land and passed up the Piscataqua. As the list con taining the names of all the passengers who were on that vessel has been lost we do not know all who came over, or where each one settled. Some no doubt, went to York, and the towns in New Hampshire, but we do know that the following settled in Berwick, Henry joslyn, William Chadbourne, James Wall and John Goddard. Thomas Spencer is known to have settled in town the same year. Some of these men remained all their lives in town, while others after wards moved away. The first explorers in Berwick found the lands about the Great Works and Salmon rivers a dense wilderness. The vicinity about the Quamphegan Falls first attracted the white settler. Here he could easily ob tain the necessities of life for himself and family until the ground began to yield part of their support. The Salmon and Great Works river, on whose banks they had settled, furnished an abundance of fish, while the forests abounded with game. It is impossible to give a correct list of the early settlers of Berwick. As a period of twenty years passed before any of them took 22 HISTORICAL out grants of land, there would be nothing on the records to show their names. It was not until 1650, that grants of any extent were given. Those persons who wished to take out land received a grant from the General Court. Those who took out the first grants received more than those who applied later. Some received as high as a thousand acres but in most cases the grants were given out in equal lots. The first deed of land on record was the one made to Humphrey Chadbourne by the noted Sagamore Rowles. The land extended above the Great Works River. The date of the purchase was 1643 and Thomas Spencer was a witness to the transaction. Twenty years after the first grant, the land in the vicinity of Quamphegan was all taken up. The following persons are among the earliest settlers who took out, or came into pos session of grants already taken out by others, along the river in the present town of South Berwick: Thomas Spencer, Richard Nason, Alexander Maxwell, Alex ander Cooper, Nathan Lord, James Warren, John Taylor, John Lamb, James Emery, Peter Grant, John Green, Thomas Abbott, Daniel Goodwin, Sr., Daniel Goodwin, Jr., James Emery, Phillip Hubbard, John Wincoll, Roger Plaisted, Benoni Hodsdon, Nicholas Hodsdon and Miles Thompson. Other early settlers were as follows: Richard Leader, William Spencer, Tom Tinker, James Heard, Daniel Hubbard, Richard Abbott, Daniel Ferguson, William Thompson, George Rogers, Nicholas Frost, Theodius Redder, Andrew HISTORICAL 23 Searl, James Barnard, Anthony Emery, James Grant, Ichabod Goodwin, John Falls, Samuel Falls, John Connor, Michael Rhoades, James Plaisted, Patrick Gowen, Nicholas Morrill, Elisha Plaisted, Alexander Ferguson, John Hooper, John Croude, Thomas Deering, Joseph Couch, Ichabod Tibbetts, Richard Tozier, William Piles, James Barry, William Love, Roger Plaisted. Others might be mentioned but this constitutes a greater part of list. For a period of 120 years the early settlers did not venture far from their first place of settlement which was in direct communi cation with the coast. Their choice of early settle ment was a good one, for Quamphegan is always one of the most beautiful and attractive places in the world. It is not surprising that a small settlement which we might term a well populated country road was established here, for Gibbens could not have found a more delightful place were he to search far and wide. Quamphegan Falls was so called by the Indians and meant "the place where fish were taken in nets." Here they coule carry on their choice of occupation with the rivers furnishing excellent water power and the forests an abundance of timber. The taste for manufacturing and lumbering, rather then farming seems to have attracted our forefathers to settle here. Here along the bank of the river a landing was built, a trading post established, and a church and school-house erected. In short the early pioneers did what they could to 24 HISTORICAL make their surroundings agreeable and their lives happy. These early pioneers were a hardy people of rough exterior, ever kind and hospitable, yet always on the alert to see that their quiet and easy life was not endangered. All doubtful adventurers were excluded from the town. In 1634 it was ordered that "no person or persons whatsoever shall be admitted into this town without a license from the selectmen thereof" and "if any inhabitant of this town shall receive any such person into his house contrary to the above said order that any such inhabitant shall give any security unto the select men as they shall require, to save and keep harmless the town from any such person so received." Later a notice was given "to leave the town" or "be dragged out; having had fifteen days previous notice." The settlers came very slowly at first. In fact after the managers Mason & Gorges had ceased to support their plantations on the Piscataqua, the colonies were loosing ground. The proprietors various schemes of amassing wealth in these colonies had only enriched the settlers themselves. It was not until the Civil wars between Charles II and Parliament that the first impulse came to the colonies after the original settlement. When Crom well gained a decisive victory over the royal troops at Dunbar in the north, he, not knowing how to better dispose of his prisoners, banished them from their own country, England, and sent them to America. HISTORICAL 25 The settlements along the Piscataqua received j many of these refugees. Some attracted by the bust ling settlement along the Great Works, Piscataqua and Salmon Falls rivers were induced to settle here. Among those who came at this time were many from the ancient hamlet of Berwick in Yorkshire. These people probably gave the town its present name. The spelling of the name in the old records is Ber(v)ick and pronounced as if it it were spelled Berrick. So slowly did the settlers spread over the town that no settlements were made above Worster's Brook until after the Indian wars. In 1713 Berwick was the most inland settlement towards Canada and the inhabitants were kept in a constant state of alarm. All houses before 1715 were of hewn logs. Some were erected larger and stronger than others, for a place of refuge, when suftering an attack from the Indians. Among those nearest the Settlement at that time were the Shorey and Near Gar risons below Old Field, the Spencer Wentworth, Kay, Tozier and Plaisted Garrisons near Salmon Falls, and • later a fort on Pine Hill, north of Steep Falls, sur- 1 rounded by a stockade of sharpened poles twenty feet jin height. It was not until the cession of Canada by France, to Great Britain, (1763) that the people be gan to venture far from the first settlement. The influx of imigrants compelled the settlers to scatter throughout the town. The demand for lumber to operate the mills was another cause. The region in this section of the 26 HISTORICAL county was famous for mast or spar timber, which was \ shipped in large quantities to England. The old mast j road is well known to the most of the people living near the Great Works river. ; The fear for the Indian had passed away, for the French could no longer influence them to harm thei settlers. The town later experienced two great periods^ of excitement, the coming of the Quakers and the! Salem Witchcraft. The Friends, as they are termed, were terribly persecuted in New Hampshire. Some were taken in the dead of winter and plunged into the; water, through a hole in the ice. Three women at Dover, New Hampshire, were made fast to a cart's tail and driven from town and whipped on their bare backs, ten stripes each, till they were beyond the juris diction of the colony. John Hurd of Kittery, who saw the outrage, is said to have asked them if the ropes were the cords of the covenant. It was partly through his influence that this sect immigrated to the town. They received no persecu tion to any extent, on this side of the Piscataqua, although a Mr. Richard Nason was disfranchised for harboring one of them in his house. It is an inter esting fact to know that the first meeting of the Friends ' or Quakers (as they were then called) in the Prov ince of Maine was at Newichawannock, in December 1662. Superstition is ever present with the people. It was so to a greater extent among the early pioneers of our town than among its people today. HISTORICAL 27 Yet! hardly a day passes but we hear some illusion to the old notions. If we credit some of the stories, fhere may have been witches in Berwick. The jBeaver Dam witch, Old Marea, as she was called, is s,aid to have caused much trouble to those who did riot do as she wished. Many queer stories are con nected with her. She is said to have lived near a sand tiank in an old hovel near the road, at Beaver Dam. Iff anything went wrong the people said it was the work of the witches. It is said that at one time a person was churning but the butter would not come s\o as usual the members of the family said that some o|ne present was bewitched. To discover the evil spirit and to overcome it, they laid a file across the churn, then a member present read a chapter from the Bible. The result was as they expected, the butter sft>on came and the person bewitched immediately v':oke her leg. The old story of the "Witch Trot J oad," a name handed down to us, is very interesting, ' at too long to give but in brief. Rev. Stephen Bur- A ows, accused of witchcraft, was summoned for trial amd two constables and another person, his enemies, ^ere sent to conduct him hither. Mr. Burrows sug gested that they take a short cut through the woods, (which was accepted, but they had not ventured far When a thunder storm arose, leaving them in darkness. jThe party, except Mr. Burrows, were almost fright- / ened to death, and succeeded with difficulty in getting through the woods. The arising of the storm at that 28 HISTORICAL time was enough to convince the three men that the parson had supernatural power. This occurence gave, to it its present name "Witch Trot Rottd,'' situated in South Berwick. The people after the Indian wars soon began to leave the centers of business, Great Works and the section about Salmon Falls, and to take out grants of land in the present towns of Berwick and North Berwick. These were largely the descendents of the early pioneer who settled South Berwick. It is a noticeable fact that that those who ventured thus far traveled the banks of the rivers as they moved back into the dense forest. These persons did not reach the present town of North Berwick much before 1750. The first settlement was made near Doughty's Falls, named probably for the family of that name who were there. The Morrills, Puringtons, Hobbs, Husseys and Buffums are said to be the first settlers. The earlie settlers on Beach Ridge were: William and Sil, Hall, Benjamin, Joseph, Thomas and Silas Hurd. Th north, east and west parts of the town were settled b_) Samuel Hurd, John Falls, and S. Roberts. The north west was settled first by John Libby. The following are other early settlers John R. Randall, Daniel Qjjint, Samuel Hanscom, Hercules Fernald, Daniel Quint. Staples family, Christopher Hammond, Samuel Hurd,, John Fall, S. Roberts and John Libby. The Quakers were among the early settlers. The increase in manufacturies soon induced many to immigrate to the town. The movement from Sal- ] j HISTORICAL 29 fnon Falls was similar to that of Great Works. Up the river they journeyed but very slowly at first. The present town of Berwick was not settled before 1650. The first grant of land was made to Roger Plaisted in 1654. Plaisted no doubt lived here three or four years before he obtained his grant. The old burial spot where he now lies can be seen from the South Ber wick road and marks the place of his settlement. Grants were soon taken along the river on the same road by Richard Tozier, William Piles, John Wilcoln, James Barry and William Love. Soon they came toward Blackberry Hills, so named because of the abundance of that specie of berry found by the ex plorers. Among the first here was James Chadbourne, John Woodsum, Samuel Brackett and John Morse. This section soon became the leading portion of the upiper part of the old town. Here churches, school- houses, stores and even a hotel was built. It was what We might term the upper village of the town. The old burying ground is still there with its ancient tomb stones reminding us of this once important and historic part of the town. Beaver dam was soon visited by the settlers. Among the first here and to the north at iamond Hill were those families by the name of hick, Andrews, Grant, Goodrich, Guptill, Skillings, urray and Goodwins'. It is said that Joshua Andrews, one of the earliest fn that section walked to Amesbury, Mass., and gave a man twenty dollars to tell him how to catch wolves. 30 HISTORICAL \ He also bought a trap for that same purpose on that trip. That trap is now in the possession of one of his descendents who lives on the same lot of land. ' The-1 town records inform us that Mr. Andrews received money from the town on several occasions for the bounty on the wolves that he caught and killed! Cranberry Meadow was settled by William Frost, Stephen Hardison, Humphrey Lord, Elisha Goodwin, Nicholas Lord and Ebenezer Brown. The first oh Pine Hill were Thomas Downs, John Fall, William Downs, Benjamin He'rsom and Benjamin Lord, Jr. The present site of Berwick village was not settled before 1749. The first house, (log-cabin) was erected by Ebenezer Lord, great-grandfather of the late George W. Lord on the site of the present house, Berwick street. Mr. Lord possessed one hundred arid forty acres of land covering the site of the present village. This grant he obtained by a marriage of ore} of his descendants. Nathan Lord, Jr., to Martha Tozier* Mr. Tozier was the first to receive the grant. > Ebenezer Lord sold forty acres to John Sullivan, known to every Berwick citizen. Mr. Sullivan soon after occupied his land. The town has many reminders of this renowned family. ) The settlement at this place grew very slowly. fir mill was built by Mr. Lord1, but the chief center wasf at Blackberry Hill. Not until the mills were erected on the New Hampshire side did the village show any! signs of rapid growth. , HISTORICAL 31 The present post office building was built by Park & Harris. This was now one of the first stores in the village. Forty years ago the village did not contain more than twenty houses. One of Berwick's rribst esteemed citizens who came here about that time tells the writer that there were here when he came the number of houses stated above, one store operated by Walker & Farrington, one saw mill and a building called a hotel. A great contrast between this picture and what we see today. The business section, when the mills were placed on the New Hampshire side was on the Maine side, most of the dwellings also. About this time the post office was moved to Great Falls, then so-called, but Berwick succeeded in 1870 in getting a separate one on/this side. The present time finds the beautiful and bulsy village on the Main^ side increasing rapidly in numbers. With a population of four hundred in 1870, it has increased to over a thousand. / The lumber business is chiefly on this side and the place bids fair to be in the future a thriving manufac turing town. Beautiful buildings adorn the well laid s jet, lighted by electricity. Every contrivance is p sent for the safety and pleasure of its citizens. We livould ever see this village on the banks of the Piscat- oqua river prosperous and happy. 32 ' HISTORICAL Incorporation Berwick was incorporated the ninth town, June 9, 1713, and then included what is now Berwick and North and South Berwick. Previous to this was a parish of Unity set off as such by the town Kittery, too poor as was supposed, to ever form a separate town. Before it was incorporated it had annually elected its board of three selectmen. ; The first regular town meeting was held in the old meeting house at Old Fields, South Berwick, and the following officers were chosen: Humphrey Chad- bourne, town clerk; Benjamin Nason, John Croupe, /" Elisha Plaisted, James Emery and James Grant, select men; John Hooper, treasurer; Benjamin Nason sen ed as moderator. , The town meeting of our forefathers attended jto the transaction of the minutest details of every djay life, as well as those of greater importance. Their civil and religous problems were both on the equal • footing and received the same attention. There tlie^ schoolmaster was appointed, his salary apportiont , the preacher was chosen; money was raised for \ z support of the gospel; and even the sexton waSj selected to ring the bell and keep tidy the place of worship. Benoni Bragdon, a faithful servant as he is called, held this position for a number of years, and was obliged, as his contract read, to sweep out the HISTORICAL 33 house once in three months. October 22, 1701—Voted to build a new meeting house for the use of the inhabitants of the parish, they, finding the old house not worth repairing. Building committee—Capt. Ichabod Plaisted, Richard Tozier, John Hill, Thomas Abbott, Benjamin Nason, Charles Frost, Nathan Lord, Humphrey Spencer, Benoni Hodsdon. January 27, 1703—Voted Daniel Emery and Nathan Lord, committee, to give Mr. Wise, a minister of Saco, an invitation to preach in this parish. March 5, 1707—Voted to build a meeting house 36 feet square. 1709—Voted Nathan Lord, assessor. 1713—Voted Samuel Lord a pew in the church. 1714—Voted Nathan Lord to take contributions i,i the church. 1719—Voted that Mr. Bradstreet shall teach school in the town house by Mr. Spencer's. At a legal town meeting April 18, 1729—Voted that money shall be raised from this town for de fending any person or persons belonging to this town pf Berwick, who shall have any logs seized by the purveyors, which were cut within this township. Voted sixty pounds shall be raised forthwith to defray the charge of carrying on that affair, and that the select men shall hire the money. April 20, 1713—Voted at a legal parish meeting, William Richard and Samuel Lord each a pew, they paying two pounds each. 34 HISTORICAL March 22, 1714—Voted William Lord, pound keeper for the ensuing year. ! July 30, 1717—Blackberry Hill road laid out, be-J ginning at Derty Swamp bridge, four rods wide to Blackberry Hill. 1716—Voted for protection against wolves, a bounty of twenty shillings each, besides what the law offered was paid by the town. The town also voted a bounty to encourage the keeping of ferocious bulls. 1756—Voted tor protection against waste. Voted that if any inhabitant should fall any pipe stave or clapboard timber and let it lay unused up above one month, any other inhabitant might improve it as his own property. December 2, 1729—Voted that a man be chosen to be aiding and assisting to those men that are sued. Voted Captain James Grant shall be the man and his wages shall be ten shillings per day for his trouble.' March 15, 1736—Voted that our representative Mr. Richard Lord be impowered to put a pertition in the General Court for a lot of land in the unaportioned lands within the county of York to be granted to ourj said town for the support of our grammar shools. fi, March 15,1831—Voted Mr. John Cooper and Mr. '\ John Thompson shall sell the little town house by Mr. Spencer to the highest bidder. November 29, 1748—Voted that Richard Lord with others appointed by the selectmen to renew the bounds between Berwick and York. HISTORICAL 35 i January 15, 1749—Voted to divide the parish. February 27, 1749—-Voted that a meeting house be built in the north Parish the same size as the one in the south Parish. March 22, 1751—A road from Pine Hill to Cram- berry Meadow laid out. March 12, 1753—Voted the bridge built over the Great Works river near Mr. Elisha Hill's dwelling house shall be accepted as a town bridge and main tained by the town. 1751—Voted that the master teach two weeks at one point, then two weeks at another, returning in each of the six schools in town. Monday, July 1, 1776—In a town meeting held at South Parish meeting house, Daniel Libby was chosen chairman, and it was voted that "Should the Hon. Congress, for the safety of the colonys Declare them independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain, we, the Inhabitants of said town, will Solemnly engage with our Lives and Fortunes to support them in the meas ure," and that Col. Ichabod Goodwin be served with a Copy of this note. 1780—-Forty shillings were voted to each man in "the Eastern expedition from the town, 6 pounds to each captain, and 4 pounds 10 shillings to each lieuten ant. July 16, 1750—Voted to hire a minister and give him 20 pounds a year for his services. Voted to get from the general court a grant ofland for the minister. "36 HISTORICAL February 19, 1753—Voted, a parish house (resir dence) for the parson, and that it should be built in elegant style. This meeting-house and parsonage was stationed on Blackberry Hill. Elections were held at Tilly Haggens' Inn till 1767, and on Blackberry Hill, in the meeting-house^ until 1748, when the old one was destroyed by fire and a new one erected on the same grounds. This one was afterwards moved to Berwick village and now; sits on School street, in which the annual town meet-< ings are now held. In 1790 the South Parish (South Berwick) tried to form itself into a separate town. A petition was ad dressed to the General Court. The Parish line was the proposed boundary. The petition was denied. A second attempt likewise failed. The third one, 1813, was granted and South Berwick became a separate town. March 21, 1831—An.act passed the legislature to incorporate 17,579 acres of land lying to the east of Berwick into a seperate town. The act was approved the following day March 22 and thus formed the present town of North Berwick. > March 11, 1890—Voted to raise and appropriate the sum of eight hundred and eighty dollars for electric lights. April 21, 1894—Voted to appropriate the sum of ten thousand dollars to build a school house in place HISTORICAL 37 of one destroyed by fire. The one completed is the present Sullivan High School building. Military flatters The town of Berwick is justly entitled to the high esteem of the state and nation for her loyal support of the government in military affairs. Her settlement was maintained against the savage in many instances, and it was necessary for the pioneers to defend their homes and protect their families at the point of the bayonet. After so many years of self defense it is not surprising that they helped whip the soldiers of Britian at Bunker Hill, Concord and Lexington. The war of the Revo lution found this town ready to do its whole duty in the stiring events of that period. Berwick sent out two full companies of soldiers for service in the Revolution. They were commanded py Captains Phillip Hubbard and Daniel Wood". JEbenezer Sullivan soon succeeded Capt. Wood, who was advanced to Major..- We have not attempted to give a list of the Revo lutionary soldiers who went from the town of Berwick. The list is of such proportion as to make one ask if all the male population did not enlist, and such was the 38 HISTORICAL intense ardor in behalf of the Revolutionary cause that such was almost the case. Almost every campaign oi that whole period of eight years war, was participated in by men from the sturdy and loyal old town of Ber wick on the Piscataqua. From the male population of Berwick at the time of the Revolution it will be very difficult to find one person of sufficient age who was not in the service of the. continental army at some period or other. WAR OF l8l2 \ In this war the government was well supported although meetings were held in some parts of the*town declaring it to be an unjust and unwarranted conflict. The town voted to lend $800 to equip their citizens who were to enlist, but were not able to arm them-r selves. A call was also made upon the government for sixty stands of arms. Many of the citizens enlisted and performed faithfully the duties required. i WAR OF THE REBELLION Owing to the peculiar situation of Berwick border ing on several large towns in New Hampshire credit must be given to the town for a large number of foreign enlistments. Berwick furnished for the war approximately one hundred and fifty men and money for bounties and incidental expenses to the amount of HISTORICAL 39 $50,000. No town can boast of a more loyal support of the government in this conflict of gigantic conse quences. Too much praise cannot be given to those true and patriotic men who enlisted and served in the struggle of 1861. With due reverence we herewith give the names of those who enlisted as citizens of Berwick: Home enlistments—Samuel L. Allen, Charles C. Abbott, William N. Butler, Benjamin Bragdon, Lewis L.

We do not attempt to give all soldiers in town who went to the war for we might omit the names of some, who because many do not belong to the post and we have no way to get a correct list of those who did not enlist from Berwick. flanufacturing Account I The manufacturing history of Berwick covers a Long period. The whole attention of the early settlers seems to have been directed in that line, and the forests were striped with astonishing rapidity. Shin gles and pine boards were legal tender "delivered at 42 HISTORICAL the landing, when the sfopes ran" or were exchanged with the merchants for rum, molasses and other necessities of life. A mill Was erected at Great Works as early as 1634 and others soon followed on Great Works and Salmon Falls rivers. All persons wanting- timber received a grant or permit to cut it upon the common lands. In 1650, Richard Leader was granted "all the rights to the privilege or mill power on the little river known as the Newichawannock, with liberty and like property in all timber not yet appropri ated to any town or person. He immediately erected a large mill carrying eighteen saws. He was also granted permission to cut pine timber along the river as far up as the town limits extended. His restriction in width was one-half mile each side of the river. Mr. Leader acquired wealth from his lumber opera tions, and it is said that either the vastness of Mr. , Leader's operations or the erection of iron works on the river a little later gave it its present name, Great Works. In 1660, Captain Broughton agreed to erect a mill on his lot at Quanghegan Falls, and to saw on halves any logs that the inhabitants might get upon the timbered lands above. Humphrey Chadbourne j^is early as 1661 had lumber camps about the Grejtt Works river, where he got out lumber for the mills\ In 1709 Moses'Worster sold half the privilege of Worster river to a Mr. Wentwotth, and in 1712 gave his son Thomas two hundred acres of land and one; \ HISTORICAL 43 half a saw mill on that same stream. This no doubt was the first mill erected in the present town of Berwick. Peter Morrill in 1722, erected a saw mill on the Great Works river. A run of stones was con nected with it by which grist grinding was done for the settlers. Afterward he engaged in the manufacture of iron on the same river, but as it was not a financial success, because of its poor quality, the undertaking was abandoned. This mill was in operation as early as 1810, if not earlier. Soon after the arrival of Elder Ebenezer Lord, on what is known as saw mill hill, (1649) two mills were erected on Salmon Falls river. Mr. Lord built the one that was situated a little below the present dam, and was known as the Brook mill. The other was erected by other settlers and was placed a little below the first one. In 1758 Ephriam Blaisdell, Joseph Farnham and Paul Farnham contracted to build a grist mill at Stair Falls. This mill was completed immediately after. What was known as the "Nute Shoe Factory" was at one time the leading industry on this side of the river. The building now standing and owned by the Guptill Brothers was first started by Hobbs & Walker in 1868. They did business for three or four years, when L. M. Nute bought out the firm and, after enlarging it to its present size, began and prosecuted for many years a thriving business. The tannery owned and operated by L. R. Hersom was at one time a leading industry in the village. Mr. Hersom "began his work in 1864 44 HISTORICAL and did a thriving business. The mill was finally destroyed by fire but afterwards rebuilt. Among the leading manufactures of the town today are the following: the Littlefield Leather Co., manufacturers of sheep skins. This business is carried on by Stephen Littlefield, who came here and began his work in September 1891. Mr. Littlefield had been in business in Peabody, Mass., prior to his moving here. The firm has an average of forty men. The plant is run by Steam Power. J. R. Home's saw mill and box factory was built by the present owner, J. R. Home, in 1876 and has been doing business ever since. The mill employs outside and inside an average of thirty-five men. Its product has a home market. This plant is run by steam and fias two hundred horse power. Guptill Brothers' saw mill and box factory is owned and run by the two brothers A.J. & F. S. Gup till who bought the property of J. E. Frost & Son and began business January 1, 1904. The mill employs an average of twenty men. The plant has steam power. The firm of Mathew brother's is composed of the two brothers, J. W. & S. S. Mathews, who began business in what is known as the Nute Shoe Factory in 1899. The firm does contract work and manufactures inside and outside finish, mouldings and all kinds of buildmg material. Ten men are employed. Steam power ^s used. John N. Haines' cotton waist and wiping stock business was established in 1861, by the late John SJ Haines. The business is now carried on by his son! HISTORICAL 45 An average of twelve persons are employed. Steam power. Spence & Coombs, monumental workers and contractors. This business was established by W. G. Spence in 1880. A. G. Coombs now a partner began this work with Mr. Spence in 1882. Steam power. The saw mill situated at Beaver Dam, is owned and operated by Messer's Abbott, Andrews & Gowen. This mill employs six men. Educational Accouut The school history of Berwick is a source of pride to her every citizen. Extending as it has over a period of one hundred and seventy-five years. The amount of good it has done cannot be known; but this much we do know, that no town has put forth greater effort to fit its representatives for the field of work. The examples of strength and power who have gone both from this town and entered all fields of labor are sufficient proofs of the above. A school was kept at the expense of the town as early as 1714, Master Rookes was the first school teacher and he was chosen master in 1716, at a salary of forty pounds. John Bradstreet was the second 46 HISTORICAL master and was to teach in a private house until a schoolhouse could be built. The same year 1718, the house was completed and stood near the old parish church, at Old Fields. This was the first schoolhouse erected in town. Stephen Emery, James Pike and Joseph Newmarch are among the earliest teachers. Stephen Emery was to take his pay in "one-half boards and one-half in Public Bills". James Pike taught in town as early as 1726. Joseph Newmarch was master in 1727, and taught reading, writing and spelling. In 1724 two schoolhouses stood above the Great Works river, and school was kept in six places, two months each by one teacher. 1749 the master was to teach two weeks at one point then two at another. In 1758 a whole school 3rear, the first of its kind, was kept in the upper parish, and two whole years' school were held in town in 1761. Five years later a committee to better regulate schools for the future was chosen, after which Jtwo schools were regularly kept. In 1770 one hundredjand forty pounds for five months summer schools, andlthe town obliged teachers to present a certificate of m^ral character, in 1790. The same year a plan was made agreeable to the new law and in 1791 an Acade|my was incorporated. The school was situated in the present village of South Berwick and was the beginn ing of anew and higher developement of learning. From that time to the present the schools of the town HISTORICAL 47 have made a gradual advancement. In 1872 the join ing districts included in Berwick village joined to form a grammar and high school and erected a fine three story wooden building, at an expense of $9000. This was dedicated by Governor Sidney Perham, and other prominent educators, on its completion. This build ing was destroyed by fire on. the night of April 10, 1894. Mr. Francis Grovenor, superintendent of schools that year, gives the following: "On the night of April 10, 1894, the High school building with nearly all the school books and furnish ings were consumed by fire, a great loss to the town and a great detriment to the high and grammar schools then occupying the house. With but little delay preparations were made and the High school found comfortable quarters in the Empire House hall and the grammar school in the town hall. The insurance of $5000 on the school house was promptly paid and with $5000 generously and promptly raised by the town, a fine new and more commodious school building was erected on the site of the old house. He further adds; we can but congratulate the town on it's prompt action, and jMr. Hermon Lord, the architect and builder in securing such an ornament to the village, and a bless ing to all the children and youth and a source of grati fication to all interested in the success of the schools. Few towns in the county have a building so pleasantly situated, so well arranged, so admirably adapted in every way to the purposes for which it was cons- 48 HISTORICAL tructed." Thus the town today has in its Sullivan High school a building that she may well boast of. The grade of the teachers needs no comment for the result speaks for itself. The graduates from Berwick schools who have prepared for college in this town, and have taken honors in the institutions where they entered, are sufficient proof of this statement. The high school with its various courses; the grammar and Intermedi ate grades shows the reader that the town is> advanc ing its boys and girls step by step to a thorough prepa ration for their life work. Church History CONGREGATIONALIST The Ecclesiastical history of Berwick ha* its beginning with the first settler who came here. 1 Or ganizations of a particular denomination may not liave been formed nor churches built, yet our forefathers were God fearing people and did not neglect ithe Sabbath worship. The private dwelling house was the place of assembly until conditions demanded and allowed the erection of a church. It is not the inten tion of the writer, in giving this chapter, to touch HISTORICAL 49 extensively the many denominations that have been formed in the three towns. Space would not permit this but those that have been in exsistence in the present town of Berwick will be depicted to some extent, while those that have not been here, a mere mention of the name must suffice, unless the church is of sufficient age to demand recognition. The follow ing are the names of the various denominations that have been or are now in existence in the three towns. They are not given in any particular order: Congrega tional, Baptist, Free Will Baptist, Methodists, Avdents, Christian, Friends. The oldest of these churches is the Congregation- alist, and the first record of its organization is dated June 4, 1702. This association or union of religious fellowship was formed through the influence of Rev. John Wade, a pastor in the parish. The first recorded vote of the town upon a church building was taken October 22, 1701. Voted—"To build a new meeting house for the use of the inhabitants of the parish, they finding the old house not worth repairing. A committee of nine were chosen to carry forward the work. This vote implies that there was an old building in exsistence but too much worn out to be worth repairing. The One built in 1702, then was the second one. We do not know the exact date of the building of the old one, but no doubt are safe in setting the date approximately 1650. There may have been some particular denomi- 5b HISTORICAL nation that built it. This new meeting house was erected at Old Fields, near the lower landing below Quampeagan landing. At the death of the first pastor Mr. Wade, Rev. Jeremiah Wise, was elected to the place. It was voted* to give him a salary of eighty pounds a year, and one hundred pounds for his settle ment. Mr. Wise accepted the call and remained pastor of the church until his death, January 20, 1756. His parish was divided in 1751, and a second parish formed with a meeting house at Blackberry Hill, in the present town of Berwick. The town records for the change in the parish read as follows: January 15, 1749—Voted to divide the parish. February 27, 1749 Voted that a meetinghouse be built in the the north parish the same size as the one in the south parish. July 16, 1750—Voted to hire a preacher and give him twenty pounds a year for his services. Voted to secure from the general court a grant of land for the minister. February 19, 1753—"Voted that a parish house be built for the parson, and that it should be erected in as elegant style as the times could afford. Rev. John Morse was the first pastor. He began his duties December 25, 1754 and was their faithful servant unti his death in November 1764. He. was succeeded b Mathew Merriam, who was their pastor for more than thirty years. Joseph Hillard a graduate of Harvard College, was next in order arid remained with them HISTORICAL 51 until 1825. About this time, Reuben Porter, one of their denomination came to the village of Berwick and preached in an unfinished dwelling house on Bridge street. Mr. Porter remained here but a short time. The church at Blackderry Hill, soon became extinct, upon departure, in 1827, of their paster, Josiah Hawes. The old burying ground near the former site of the church and parish house is the suviving reminder of its exsistence. Here lies the body of one of its pastors, Rev. Mr. Merriam and many other faithful workers. This cemetery may easily be seen from the Blackberry Hill road near the four corners. BAPTIST CHURCH The Baptist church next in order, was organized in South Berwick in 1768, and their first church building was erected soon after. The church organization was- brought about by the preaching of Rev. Hezekiah Smith, pastor of the church at Haverhill. The number of members uniting at the time of the organization of the church was seventeen. There was a feeling of enmity at first, against this denomination, and some of its strongest advocates were abused. Joshua Emery was their first leader and teacher and he continued as such for more than twenty years. Mr. Emery it is said contributed a large portion of the cost of the building. He was succeeded by William 52 HISTORICAL Bachelder, who entered upon his duties as pastor November 30, 1796 'and remained with them until November 1805. In 1811 Joshua Chase became their pastor and remined two years. A new house was built in the southern part of the present town of Berwick, in 1844, where it remained until 1867, when it was removed and rebuilt at North Berwick village. ADVENT CHURCH The Advents first began to exert an influence in Berwick in 1880, when several of that denomination, who had previously been interested in meetings held in Somersworth, New Hampshire, came here and secured the Odd Fellows' hall for meetings. Their first pastor was Elder Hinkley and he soon instituted a revival among the people. Mr. Hinkley was suc ceeded by several pastors who served them at differ ent periods. Elder Mark Stevens, the present pastor was one of those who came occasional}^ to preach. Soon a revival strengthened the numbers and a church was organized on November 9, 1889, with the following members: George S. Foye, Caroline An drews, Mary E. Goodrich, Betsey Chellis, Mary Stack- pole and Julia A. Faye. After the organization others soon joined the church. The increase of numbers, soon induced the members to build a house. Mr. George Faye was a HISTORICAL 53 prime mover in this action and was placed in charge of the work. The people immediately took action and secured funds for its erection. The present site of the church was bought, and the first land broken by Messrs. Geo. Faye and Charles Glidden, on April 25, 1890. The erection of the church was carried on with unusual rapidity, and at its completion was dedicated, Elder Hinckley preaching the sermon on that occasion. Much credit is due our esteemed citizen, Alvan Spencer, who voluntarily made the plans and rendered excellent service in the erection of the church. After the church was completed several pastors served the charge, but not until the coming of the present pastor, Elder M. Stevens, did the work of the church show rapid advancement. Mr. Stevens took the pastorage June 1, 1899. The church at that time was two- hundred dollars in debt and needed many improvemeMHiprhanks to the enterprising work of the pastor, as^Weader, and its members, the church has today the conveniences that were needed. The church was painted on the outside, new pews with cushions were placed within, a carpet laid on the floor and an organ secured, the walls beautifully ornamented, and everything possible id make the place of worship a credit to the church, was done. A shed was built back of the church and a house lot bought on which they hope in the near future to erect a parsonage. A pipe organ is now to be placed within the church. All this has been ac- t 54 HISTORICAL complished by hard and faithful work and the society with all its conveniences is free from debt. There is now a membership of forty and many others are soon to join. It is ever ready to give its present pastor an especial word of praise. METHODIST CHURCH The Methodists first began to exert an influence in Berwick about 1811. Meetings were held in the private dwellings in various parts of the town. About 1815-16 there were several revivals under the preaching of John Lord and others, and many were baptised. Although they continued to increase in numbers and influence, no meeting house was erected exclusively for the donomination for nearly thirty years, when a house was built in 1839, at the location known as Cranberry Meadow. The house took fire after it was completed, and was consumed a few days before it was to be dedicated. Another was soon after built, about a mile from the former, and dedicated by Rev. Gershon F. Coxe. A church was organized and still continues in a prosperous condition. The member ship at the close of last year was 116. The meeting house was moved to the village of Berwick and finished January 1876, during the pastorage of Rev. Isaac Lord, and dedicated by Rev. Bishop Foster.

The father, John, and his two sons, James and John are well known characters in the history of the town. John Sullivan sailed from Lim erick, Ireland, in 1723, and landed at York harbor. Soon after he was employed as a teacher at Berwick, where he opened two schools, one for boys and one for girls. The schools were open but a part of the year. It is said that on his voyage out, his attention was attracted to one of the passengers named, Margery- Brown, whom he afterwards made his wife. Soon after Mr. Ebenezer Lord came to Saw Mill Hill, now Berwick street in the village. Mr. Sullivan purchased forty acres of land of him and settled on it. He died in May 1796, in his one hundred and fifth year, and his widow died in 1801, aged eighty-seven. They were buried upon the place which they, occupied so many years, but were afterwards removed to Durham, N. H. Upon embarking for America it is said that Margery Brown, when asked what she expected to do in America, replied "raise governors for them." Her words proved true, for to them were born the two noted sons, James and John. John Sullivan, the elder HISTORICAL 65 after trying his hand at sea, studied law in the office of Mr. Livermore of Portsmouth. He commenced prac tice in New Market, N. H., whence he soon moved to Durham, where he occupied a high position as a law yer, general, member of Congress, attorney-general and governor of New Hampshire, he died in 1795, aged fifty-four. James Sullivan, the younger, studied law with his brother, John, in Durham, N. H., and opened an office in Georgetown on the Kennebec in 1767. He re mained there but two year$, when he removed to Bid- deford. Until the close of his life, 1808, he was constantly in official positions, as member of the Provincial and Continental Congress, member of the Legislature, commissary of troops, judge of the supreme court, attorney-general, commissioner of the United States and governor of Massachusetts. He died December 10, 1808. As a historian his contri butions are well known. His History of Maine is a valuable work. It is said governor Sullivan when engaged in the examination of aged witnesses in court would often lead his inquiries into a historical line, in order to extract information which would enable him to accumulate materials for his history. His contribu tion to the Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he was a prime mover and the first president, are full of valuable information. The late William F. Lord, in his sketch of the family says, "They were companions in counsel with 66 HISTORICAL Hancock and Adams, and in arms with Washington and Warren, and of whom Washington said, that when a spirit of insubordination or despondency prevailed in the army, all that he needed to dispel it was the eloquence of one of the Sullivans. From these men have descended some of the most pleasing orators and eminent men of New England." Burial Grounds Previous to 1877 the town had no public burying ground, but private ones were scattered throughout the town. Deeming this a necessity, a meeting was called in April of the same year in Mr. Alvin B. Spencer's shop to take action in this matter. Some business was transacted, but at another meeting April 4, the association was formed and the following officers chosen: L. W. Spencer, clerk and treasurer; Hiram Clark, Hiram Hurd, John H. Stillings, Paul Hussey and John E. Frost, trustees. The officers in March 1904 were: George W Stillings, clerk and treasurer; C. F. Ferguson, J. F, Nason, P. H. Libby, J. O. Gowell and C. W. Butler, trustees; Charles M. Gup till, superintendent; E. F. Gowell, auditor. This burying ground is known as the Evergreen Cemetery. HISTORICAL 67 and is beautifully situated on a cross road from Pine Hill to Cranberry meadow. To this ground has been removed the remains of many of those burried in private family grounds formerly situated in various parts of the town. The "Lords" cemetery situated on Berwick street is one-of the oldest grounds in town. Within this enclosure are many of the early dead of Berwick and their later descendants. Here are buried soldiers of the Revolutionary and later wars. The oldest grave in this enclosure is the one containing the body of a daughter of Elder Ebenezer Lord whose death occurred approximately 1753. Among the noted graves are those of Elder Ebenezer Lord, who died in 1812, aged ninty-one; Rev. Noah Hooper son of Rev. William Hooper, died in 1854, aged seventy-eight; Richard Moody, died in 1836, aged forty-six; Jeremiah Locke, died in 1858, aged eighty, and many others marked by their respec tive monuments. The old burying grounds at Black berry Hill, now abandoned, and other family burying grounds contain the remains of Berwick's sons and daughters.
