TO THE SONS OF NEW GLOUCESTER THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. 23383 PREFACE. The publication of this volume has been undertaken at the request of many citizens of New Gloucester and others, who:are interested in the welfare of that beautiful town, where perhaps, like the writer, they were born, or their kindred used to dwell, and a lingering tie still draws their affections thither. Doubtless errors and omissions may. be found by the reader, but the writer asks that no offense be taken, as he has carefully endeavored to record truly, from all the information within his reach. T.

The town of New Gloucester was organized Septem­ ber 7, 177 4, by choice ·of the necessary town officers, under an act of the General Court of Massachusetts passed that year. At the annual March meeting, 187 4, the town voted to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of that event, and appointed a committee for the purpose, viz: JosEPH CRoss, EsQ., AMos H~ NEVINS, EsQ., AND ])EA. ANDREW c. CHANDLER. I The site of the old block house on the south side of the Gray road, a short distance south-west from the center of ,the town, was selected as the place for the celebration. The present owners of the spot, S. H. and A. C. Chandler, tendered the use of. the· same- fot' the purpose, and Dea. 1A. C. CI-tANi>LER, at his own expense, removed an· fences and obstructions from the· vicinity, thus provid~ng a large smooth· common of several acres, with its .surface slightly sloping to the: south, covered with green sward smooth as a carpet.. · Here a mammoth canvas tent of an oval shape;. 2 10 INSIDE THE TENT. o~e hundred and fifty feet long by sixty broad, was pitched. At the entrance swung the ancient sign of New Gloucester's hospitable inn, once kept by that public spirited citizen, Peleg Chandler, inscribed "BELL TAVERN, 1776, P. C." Within, a large platform was raised upon the north-east side, a long table ex­ tended through the center lengthwise for the refresh~ ments, and all the remaining space was filled with seats conveniently arranged. The inside was tastily decor­ ated with flags, bunting, evergreens and flowers, giving an appearance of beauty .and comfort seldom equaled. The stars .and stripes floated from a staff above the cen~er of the tent, and streamers from the top of .the tent poles at each end. JOSEPH CRoss, EsQ., was selected for President, AMos H. NEVINS, EsQ., for Toastmaster, and CAPT. WIL­ LIAM P. EvELETH for Marshal of the day. · The Mechanic Falls Brass Band was engaged for the occasion, and a choir was selected from the singers of the town to furnish vocal music. Invitations to be present were extended to all former citizens of the town, and their descendants. The financial success of the celebration is due to the following public spirited citizens : Andrew C. Chandler, Nathaniel Eveleth, Solomon H. Chandler, Sewal N. Martin, Nicholas Rideout, A. D. Harris, Otis C. Nelson, J. F. Churchill, Gilman Martin, A. G. Merrill, B. N. Merrill, Elbridge Foss, SUBSCRIBERS TO THE CELEBRATION FUND. 11 George Blake, C. H. N. Rowe, :F. A .. Spring, W.H.True, H.

At morning, noon and night, the village bells spoke loudly of this joyous anniversary. The former sons and daughters of the town came in goodly numbers. Early, carriages filled with people arrived from all directions. The ladies of the town loaded the spacious tables within the tent with all kinds of food, the ·Shaker sisters liberally providing a share. INVITED GUESTS AND FORMER CITIZENS. 13 At a quarter before ten o'clock in the ~orning the seats within the tent were filled, when the band, ~seort­ ing the President, Cmnmittee, Orator of the Day, in­ vited guests and Reporters, arrived at the tent, and these, with many prominent citizens of the town, took seats upon the platforrn. The Choir occupied the right and the band the left of the stage. Immediately in front a square of seats was filled by aged people, . arid upon the platfor1n was seated Mrss JUDITH RowE, aged ninety-two years, the oldest person in town. .All the standing room in the tent was filled, and it is esti­ mated that from twenty-five hundred to three thousand persons were present. Among the invited guests and former citizens of the town present, beside those who took an active part in the celebration, were noticed the Hons.William Wirt Virgin, Thon1as B. Reed an<l Charles H.

Size: 115 volumes Biographical note: The Thomas Family Collection charts the business pursuits and personal bank interests of a family whose history has been rooted in Maine, exercising considerable influence in the Portland area, beginning in the 18th century. Beginning with Elias Thomas, who married Elizabeth Widgery, the daughter of a prominent justice of the peace, the Thomas clan expanded their mercantile enterprises from controlling wharf activities, renting properties, and selling goods to involvement in and establishing of such business entities as the Portland Pier, Chapman Electric Neutralizer Company, and the Portland Company, in which members of the Thomas family served on the board of directors or in some capacity as officers of the company with controlling interests. The Thomas family includes William Widgery Thomas (b. 1803), a businessman, banker, state legislator, and mayor of Portland, Me., as well as his son, William Widgery Thomas, Jr. (1839-1927), who was a lawyer before entering foreign politics, most notable being his effort to bring Swedish colonists to northern Maine and later founding the community of New Sweden (he is also noted for being the last US ambassador to the united kingdoms of Sweden and Norway). It is of note that the collection contains items belonging – or relating to – the Payson family, which was linked with the Thomas family via the marriage of Helen B.
