AUGUSTA: Maine Farmer Publishing Company, 1898. ^ 7 4 . i 4 U) 'b s h PREFACE. In the estimation of the writer, no preface is needed to a town history. To the great public and the immediate neighborhood most deeply interested the work is its own best preface. This feature is introduced here for the sole purpose of giving due credit to those who through their original investigations and untiring industry have made the work possible. We have examined many city and town histories, and have yet to find a perfect one. This History of Wayne will doubtless prove no exception to the rule. Yet it will be found to comprise a grand history of a grand old town. Few towns in the State have so rich material and ground-work for making a history. The compilers of these comprehensive and interesting chapters have been engaged in a labor of love in gathering up the material and putting them in this convenient form for preservation. They will have the thanks of the present generation, and the volume will be sure to increase in value as the years go by. The first chapter, so gracefully introducing the book, was written by C. F. Leadbetter. On the subject of Early Settlers, C. E. Wing did most faithful work in collecting names, dates and many facts of interest and value. He was helpful also in locating many of the settlers. The chapters were prepared for the press by the proper committee assisted by W. G. Besse, Mrs. W. M. Taylor, G. J. Wing, W. A. Burgess, J. M. Benjamin, Esq., A. F. Watson, W. S. Macomber and others. This we regard as the most interesting portion of the book, filling two extensive chapters. The chapter on Manufactures was prepared by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Taylor, that portion relating to the match industry coming from the pen of J . B. Turner; the important Military History, the data of which it was most difficult to secure, was written by Williston Jennings, assisted by A. F. Watson. Hotels and Landlords, 'written IV PREFACE. by J. C. Stinchfield. Church History—Methodist, byF. B. Chand­ ler ; Baptist, by Rev. J. B. Bryant; Free Baptist, by J. M. Gott. Physicians, by Capt. W. H. Cary. Merchants, by J. M. Moulton. Postmasters, by J . M. Moulton. List of Civil Officers, by W. A. Burgess. Intentions of Marriage, by W. C. Tribou, Town clerk ; Cemeteries, by W. E. True, assisted by Frank Sturtevant and Mrs. W. M. Taylor. Orders, &c., by C. W. Crosby. Schools, by G. W. Walton. Copy for nearly the entire work has passed through the hands of Mr. Walton, who has given his best energy to the success of this enterprise. The committee on Genealogy was composed of B. F. Bradford, J. M. Moulton, A . W. Riggs. Centennial Committee—G. W. Walton, Sewall Pettingill, J. C. Stinchfield, C. E. Wing, B. F. Bradford, A. W. Riggs, W. Jen ­ nings, C. W. Crosby, W. M. Taylor. Committee to prepare history for printing—G. W. Walton, J. C. Stinchfield, Sewall Pettingill. The mechanical work has been artistically done by the Maine Farmer Publishing Co., at Augusta, who have had the direction of the preparation of the portraits and illustrations. The Editor.

Providing relevant information and education regarding all aspects of historic bridges has always been at the core of our mission. Earlier this year, the Board jumped at the opportunity to restart the “publication” of a newsletter using the latest electronic technology. We were further encouraged by the response received when we requested articles for publication. We now have commitments to complete the first three newsletters. We enjoy hearing about your work with historic bridges. Please consider sharing your experiences by contributing an article for future newsletters. Clearly a project of this magnitude does not happen by itself and I thank Kitty for the excellent work as Executive Director and Nathan as Editor for the Historic Bridge Bulletin in producing a quality product for your review in record time. bridge maintains the same center of gravity in all operating Chicago’s Movable positions.

The bridge is built across the Susquehanna River and consists of five spans of 200 ft. each with a roadway 18 ft. wide in the clear. Since the bridge was built a walk has been added on the north side. This is one of the longest iron high way bridges in the State of Pennsylvania and is built after our Patent Parabolic Form.' The bridge was built in 1885 and had a short life, being destroyed by flood in the 1890s.
