INTRODUCTION .

Nowhere in the Pine Tree State are the scenic beauties of the famous Oxford Hills surpassed in natural variation of

g of. rug ed hill and q uiet dale, in the grandeurWits lofty peaks and towering visions of the snow capped hite Mountains which overshadow its southern extremity , or in the natural purity of lake and stream and the stimulating freshness of

h n its clear atmosphere . Throug the souther part of the f county winds the limpid Saco , fresh rom its sparkling springs on the sides o f the highest elevations in Ne w Eng

c nfi n land . Enlarged by frequent o ue t tributaries it has become a stream o f considerable size when it crosses the New f Hampshire line into Fryeburg thirty miles rom its source . The extensive intervales of this locality bespeak a former lake which must have covered a large area until its bed became gradually filled by the sediment brought down from the upper course o f the Saco valley and by frequent spring 6 INTRODUCTION

freshets . These lands now form some of the most fertile and f prosperous arms in the state . Other broad and less fertile areas known as plains ha ve produced immense quantities o f c b ex ellent pine tim er , while the higher and more rugged ter r i r to y is rich in a variety of mineral deposits , valuable tim

a ber reas and grazing fields .

The Sokokis Indians , later known as the Pequawket

o f tribe , were the earliest known inhabitants this region . It wa s early explored by a dventurers and hunters from the col

Ma 1 725 ouies , and in y, , was fought the memorable and

For many years all transportation and tr afic in this region was carried on by stage lines which threaded their way to the various scattered settlements forming a system similar to the fa r reaching Saco with its numerous tributa ries , whose winding valleys were traced by many highways .

form the principal sources of wealth .

We w ould not close this chapter without mentioning the many honorable and distinguished men and women who

o f have gone out from these homes , m any them from humble homes , who have brought honor to their native towns .

o f Every town can show a goodly list these men , heroes of

v n the battlefield or bench , men who have ad a ced entirely by their own merit and energy to positions o f responsibility f an d . honor in the state or nation , or in private li e These are the men who have inherited the fortitude and energy of f their athers and mothers , who could so long and nobly withstand the rigors and hardships of the New England frontier , u ntil their scattered settlements should become an im p ortant part of a prosperous community .

THE SOKOKIS INDIANS .

Before the encroach ment of pale faced settlers , the entire valley of the Saco and its tributaries was peopled by the numerous Sokokis Indians . These were considered the A parent tribe of the ben aki Nation , which at one time

o f peopled the whole of Maine . One the m ost eloquent and “ o f We statesmanlike their chiefs once said in council , received our lands from the Great Father of Life; we hold f ” only rom Him . Their title was unquestionable and nu mo f lested , they roamed the valley rom their village at the INTRODUCTION 9

Lower Falls (Saco) to the settlement on the great bend , on the intervales of Fryeburg . These were in many respects a

o f k noble race red men , evincing unmista able evidence of

f a hi her d having descended rom g state , and still retaine a

fi ne sense of honor and personal dignity . The Sokokis tribe was once so numerous that they could call nine hundred warriors to arms , but war and pestilence f * reduced their number to a mere h and ul . The residence of f the sag amores was on Indian Island , above the lower alls . Among the names of the chiefs who dwelt hereabout were

f H S ua nd o o . e a o ns those Capt Sunday , the two g , and q who succeeded Fluellen . For some years these Indians lived with

o f the white settlers in peace and quietness , some them acq uiring a fair knowledge of the English langu a ge by their f . Wn o intercourse he the increasing number colonists encroached upon their lands , and hatred and discontent

n o f had been enge dered by the ill treatment the whites , these Indians gradually moved up river and joined their brethren who lived in the villages at Pequawket and on the

Ossipee . 16 15 o f As early as , there were two branches the Sokokis f tribe under the leadership of two subordinate chie s . One of these com munities was the Pequ a wket settlement and the other was at the mouth of the Great Ossipee , where before

’ Wa r l l f King Phillip s , they emp oyed Eng ish carpenters rom m f n down river to build the a strong timber ort , havi g f stockaded walls fourteen eet in height , to protect them against the blood - thirsty Moh awks whose coming these

* milies Saco Valley Settlements an d F a . 10 INTRODUCTION

o f f Indians anticipated . Upon the removal these people rom the locality of their early home on the lower waters of the

d Pe u a w river to the interior , their names were ch ange to q kets and Ossipees; the former word meaning the crooked

o f place , the other either taking the name or giving their name to the river and lake u pon which they lived . f A terrible atal pestilence, th ought to have been the

16 1 7 1 6 1 8 n small pox , which prevailed in and amo g the

o f t Indians this and o her tribes , swept them away by thou

‘ o f f sands , some the tribes having become extinct rom its

ff t Sa a d a h o c 1 720 e ects . At a trea y assem bled at g in , there

f Wi nnesau k es were delegates rom the , the Ossipees , and the

P u a wk e e ts . W q hen the treaty was holden in Portsm outh in

Ad e a wa nd o a n d 1 713 f . , the Pequawket chie s were present Sca wesco signed the articles o f agreement with a cross at the treaty held at Arrowsic in 1717. Some have assumed that the whole community o f the Peq u a wk ets lived together on the intervale at Fryeburg in a

l fo r compact vi lage . This conjecture is not true , we find that these keen warriors had out- posts some distance above

. W and below the village to guard against surprise hile the

bo d v o f larger the Indians lived on the great water loop , there were clusters o f h ouses in various places down the Saco

o f valley . One these hamlets was situ ated just south o f Indian Hill in North Conway an d consisted o f about twenty

. o f fa r f lod ges In the present town Hiram , not ro m the

o f v ff m outh the Great Ossipee ri er , there is a high blu upon the top o f which there is a nearly level plateau o f about two acres in extent where several families o f the Sokokis Indians INTRODUCTION 1 1

u - once lived . A p ec liar Indian burial m ound seventy five feet

n f a nd - lo g , fi ty feet wide about twenty five feet high was dis covered o n the west side o f Lake Ossipee and south of Love ’ f well s river soon a ter the Revolution . This mound , which is located upon a beautiful intervale is filled with the skeletons of thousands of Indians e nto me d in a sitting posture and f circling around a comm on center acing outward . These form concentric circles which were added one after another until the outer one was formed when another tier wa s begun m above the . The bodies seem to have been packed closely

f o f d together and covered with about two eet coarse san , while around the foot of the mound were placed stones taken from the river bed to prevent the mound from washing down . This mound is estimated to contain no less than eight or ten thousand skeletons which would seem to speak o f either a numerous or a long established race in this local ity . The Peq u awk ets seem to have been a peaceful race when not molested by hostile tribes or encroaching settlers . There is n o record o f any hostile action on their part to warrant the expedition against them m ade by Capt . Love 1 2 h well and his com pany in 7 5 . On the other and there is a record in the office of the Secretary o f State in Boston o f a

a n d petition made by John Lovewell , Josiah Farwell Jona “ than Robbins fo r a bounty to be paid fo r scalps of enemy ” Indians that they might be able to take while rangi ng the woods for the period o f one year fo r that purpose . A liberal

ff m o f f - bounty was o ered , and a co pany orty six men was l fo r organized by Capt . Lovewe l an expedition against the

Pequawket settlement . 12 INTRODUCTION

X T H E PEQUAWKET E PEDITION .

1 6 f h d On April , the com pany bade arewell to t eir frien s

a s o f and kindred in Dunstable , M s , the home of m any the

an d party, and proceeded to Contoocook , to the west sh ore f of Ossipee Lake . Here they halted and erected a ort which should serve as a rallying point and base of supplies . By this time two m en had become disabled . One had returned

wa s f . home accompanied by a riend , Benj Kidder left at the

f w a n d . ort , ith the surgeon a guard of eight The remaining thirty -four men took up the trail to Pequawket with good courage .

u f On T esday , two days be ore the battle , the party were suS i io us d p c that they had been iscovered by the enemy , and on Friday night the guard heard them creeping through the underbrush about their encampment . At an early hour

8th i Saturday m orning , May , while they were yet at the r

o f devotions , the report a gun was heard , and soon an Indian was seen standing upon a point of land extending ’ L v ll into Saco ( now o ewe s ) pond . They supposed this was

a f a decoy , to dr w them into ambush . A con erence was im mediately held to determine what course to pursue . The f o r a . men were anxious an eng gement , but Capt Lovewell

a his seems to h ave assented gainst wishes . They prepared

foe l f for action . Assuming that the was stil in ront he ordered the men to lay down their packs that they mig ht ad vance with greater caution and be less h am pered in the

. W fight hen the party had proceeded slowly for about a mile they discovered an Ind ian approaching among the INTRODUCTION 13

trees . Several discharged their pieces at him . He returned the fire and seriously wounded Capt . Lovewell with a load

. W of buckshot Ensign yman then shot the Indian and

Chaplain Frye scalped him . f Meanwhile Paugus , the Indian chie , with eighty stal wart warriors had been watching every movement from the rear . They had discovered the hidden packs and learned the

’ o f WL w small number the attacking party . hen ove ell s company returned to secure their provisions a nd had reached a tract of land covered with pines a little way back f from the pond , the Indians rose from ambush in their ront and rear in two parties with guns aimed ; the whites also

fo e presented their guns and advanced to meet the . Approaching within twenty yards of each other both parties fired . The Indians were badly cut to pieces and took

o f shelter in a clump of low growing pines . Already nine the “ f attacking party had allen dead , including Capt . Lovewell . Wm w f Three ere atally wounded . Ensign y an ordered the h remaining soldiers to retreat to t e pond . Until the going down of the sun the battle went on with much vigor .

o f About the middle the afternoon Ch aplain Frye fell ,

f f for seriously wounded . A ter alling he was heard to pray the preservation of his comrades . For eight hours the fight w had continued and at times was vehement . The hites were obliged to adopt the Indian mode of warfare; they kept near

t for f together ,Weach selecting a posi ion his own sa ety . Ensign yman stealthily crept to a position to cover

u f . Pa gus , the chie , whom he shot dead The tradition that Paugus was killed at the water ’ s edge by Chamberlain when 14 INTRODUCTION they had both gone down to wash their guns was not given aWs a part of this engagement until some fifty years later* hen darkness fell the Indians withdrew , leaving their dead on tWhe battlefield . hen the moon arose about midnight the survivors of

’

L w ll a . o ve e s party ssembled , faint and exhausted There were but nine unhurt , eleven were seriously wounded , Jacob

f u Farrar was o nd to be dying , and two others were un able to rise . Solomon Keyes could not be found . A retreat was

men decided upon , but the wounded were unable to proceed W f far . hen they had gone something more than a mile , our f — w o u . a the wounded Lie t F r ell , Chaplain Frye , and pri vates , Jones and Davis , could no longer move forward . They importuned their comrades to push toward the Ossipee f t W or and secure a rescuing party to carry them in . hen d the men reached the fort , where the gu ar had been left, to their constern ation they fou nd the men had deserted the place and nearly all the provisions gone . Here was another trying experience for the soldiers , who now numbered but I f nine . they returned to their wounded comrades whom they had left behind , they feared starvation for themselves

fo r as well as their comrades . The only alternative seemed l m to be to eave the to their fate . They pressed forward toward Dunstable and fo r four days it is stated they did not f taste ood . They then brought down some partridges and squirrels which they roasted and which gave them strength

fo r of the rest the j ourney . They succeeded in reaching Dun

o f m Ma 13 th stable , the greater part the on y , the others

h Davis , who were left to perish finally reac ed Berwick . Chap lain Frye and Lieut . Farwell did not survive . ff Such was the e ect on the attacking party . The

Pe ua wk ets ff d a n d d q su ered nearly as ba ly , this was the eath blow to their national power . According to the census of

n f the I dian s taken by Capt . Giles the ollowing year they had

24 f n o f but fighting men le t amo g them , and some these

v in carried serious wounds recei ed the fight . The news of the defea t and disaster cast widespread sorrow throughout the Massachusetts homes from which the soldiers had gone . A party was i m mediately sent to the battle ground and the bodies o f the Captain and ten o f his men were buried at the f foot o an ancient pine . A monument has since been erected 1 500 to mark the spot . The General Court appropriated

a n d the n o w pounds , a grant of lands comprising the towns o f Lovell and S weden to the survivors and heirs o f the men

h u w o were lost . This we sh o ld consider a very liberal reward fo r such a murderous undertaking attempted chiefly fo r mercenary purposes upon a peaceful settlement of a dis f appearing race o men .

* l m n s H isto r y of Saco Valley Sett e e t .

Many of the Peq u a wk ets removed to Canada after the

A ea wa n d o f battle together with d , their chie , and united with

o f the St . Francis tribe . At the beginning the war with France the remnant of the tri be that had lingered around f the old home place o their ancestors on the Saco , expressed

a desire to live with the whites , and they were accordingly f removed to a suitable place about fi ty miles from Boston ,

where was good fowling and fishing . These men were 16 INTRODUCTION

1749 the present at the Treaty of Falmouth in , between f Eastern Indians and the whites . A ter the fall of Quebec a fe w members o f the tribe rem ained about the head waters of

n f the Connecticut until the beginni g o the Revolution . The last mention of the tri be living at Pequawket was in a peti

a tion to the Gener l Court dated at Fryeburg , in which the

fo r able bodied men asked guns , amm unition and blankets “ fo r f m en f ourteen warriors . These served faith ully on the patriot side and were liberally rewarded by the government . After the war they returned to their families in the vicinity o f Fryeburg where they were well remembered by the vener able people of the last generation . Among those remem

Undoubtedly the greater number of the first arrivals in

Fryeburg had seen service in the French and Indian wars , some of whom enlisted in the Patriot service at the break ing Of h out of the Revolution . t is number was General Frye , the grantWee , under whom many of his townsmen had fought at Fort illiam Henry and other early engagements . At the breaking o u t o f the Revol ution he was called to Cam

n bu t bridge to comm a d a patriot force, soon after returned to his home town . Many volunteers proceeded to Portland w and other points here they entered the Patriot lines , some o f fo r whom never returned , while others their heroic con duct and courage rose to the rank o f commanders and f returned with titles by which they were a terwards known . 1780 £1 In over probably paper , and 08 of ” hard money was voted for this cause , together with

of f pounds bee , and seven men to fill the ranks o f the depleted Continental Army . During that summer six men

e a w re sent to the aid of F lmouth , two men for six months and two men fo r three months were hired fo r service in the

Continental Army .

This town has ever responded readily and liberally of

o f her best men . For a period several decades prior to the

Civil war , the able bodied men of the town were regularly “ ” the trained on Muster Grounds , while the annual parade was only equaled by the modern county fair .

INDUSTRIES .

e of Unlik most of the wilderness Maine , open grass lands

n ff were fou d in Fryeburg , o ering excellent grazing pastures ,

but these intervales were not safe places for erecting homes . Lots were selected on the surrounding highl ands and the first rude cabins of the pioneers were soon to be seen here and there dotting the landscape or more closely together at “ ” the Seven Lots or the Center . The first grist mill in town wa s built by John Evans on

’ WL o ve well s all brook near pond , which privilege he was given together with two lots of land to erect and maintain a

. 1766 mill This was probably put in as early as , and HISTORICAL 3 1

u time of its destr ction last August by the great fire . The dam was washed out some five years ago since which no

work had been done here .

The first mill on Ballard Brook , then Ingalls Brook was

. W built by Ezra Carter , Col John ebster and Edmund Shirley

1 4 o f in 79 . This consisted a grist mill below and a saw mill 18 02 above . In , Uriah Ballard bought the mills which be t 1844 . Web operated until abou , when he sold to Col David

. . Wn ster Col ebster tore out the old mills a d built two sep 185 8 f arate buildings . In , the property passed rom his

a nd heirs to Osborn Charles , about ten years later to Sam f o . . uel B . Locke Paris Mr Locke rebuilt and enlarged the mills , putting in the first circular saw . His sons were also interested in this property , Franklin Locke being the last

a u owner of this n me . The mills were b rned and the privilege

ately rebuilt . This is a long and short lumber mill and the

only water mill now in town .

’ At Swan s Falls , Abraham Andrews put in a saw mill

a b early in the last century , but this was washed way y freshet before g otten into operation . This excellent privilege is now owned by a syndicate of Fryeburg ’ s business men 32 FRYEBURG who conte mplate erecting a plant for furnishing electricity for power and lighting . A mill was erected and operated at the Harbor on the m W. . outlet to Kezar Pond , by Russell , Esq , for sawing and

RYE URG A A EMY F B C D .

The question of a free gramm ar school in Fryeburg was m D . W first agitated by Rev . Fessenden , D . . , the first gospel h ff minister settled in town . Throug his e orts such a school 1791 was established in , and was held in a little building at

f o f f the oot Pine Hill where fi ty pupils were gathered . The year following Rev . Mr . Fessenden , Rev . Nathaniel Porter , f . O o . David Page and Jas sgood Conway; Moses Ames , Jas

m o f Osgood and Si on Frye Fryeburg , and the preceptor of the school , Paul Langdon , were m ade the trustees of Fryeburg Academy by an act p a ssed that year inco r p o r at

the t m ing ins itution . The General Court also ade a grant o f fo r acres of land its support . The first meeting o f the board of trustees was held M f 3d . o bu . arch . , when Rev David Little Kenne nk , Rev Paul Coffi n of Buxton and others were chosen on the board and t the former was elected presiden . Paul Langdon was

fo r few institution , filled the chair a weeks until January

1802 o f . , when the services a young college man were secured f W This was the amous Daniel ebster whose services at the Academy from January to September were of the most inspiring character . He boarded at the newly erected Oxford House and spent much o f his spare time profitably

’ as register s clerk . Upon his resignation he received a special vote o f thanks from the board o f trustees fo r honor f able and faith ul work . The next instructor was Am os

Jones Cook . The school soon outgrew its humble home and in 1806 a l a rge ne w building was erected on the site o f the A f present cademy , a mile rom the old building , on land

fine donated by Robert Bradley . This was a two story edi fice surmounted by a bell tower in which was hung the first 11833 bell in town . Mr . Cook remained with the school unti , during which time he gathered a museum o f curios which

was the largest in the state . Following his long and suc cessful o f f r term service , two schools were m aintained o

a n h h l n about one year . These were soon united d t e sc o o eo fu 26 tinned success lly under various preceptors . On May , 1 8 50 , the school building was burned , but the school ses sions were continued in the Congregational vestry until the t 3 1 1 853 present building was erected , dedica ed Aug . , . To

wa s no house erected for its use . A com mittee that year appointed “to see how and where a school house shall be ” o f £25 0 fo r built and the sum raised education . From these meagre beginnings there gradu a lly developed a flo ur ishing and elevating though not always harmonious school 1 825 system . In , fourteen school districts were being 4 90 attended by pupils , showing an average attendance of

- fi thirty ve . Some schools however were atten ded by twice that nu mber and required the strict sur ve ill anceo f a stern

o f m aster and the often application the rod . 1 83 0 About , two stone school houses were erected in the

library ; that in Nu mber Two was burned , and rebuilt in

1850 ne w v , the building ser ing now as a recitation room of l d the Academy . A fine new vi lage school house was erecte 19 2 in 0 . During recent years the number of scholars attending the town schools has gradually decreased and the

little red school house has passed , superceded by the m ore elegant white house at the cross roads in which may be often found rows of patent desks instead o f the long side seats occupied by the fathers and grandparents of the present h .

U o f 1843 The earliest DESTR CTIVE FIRE note was in , 15 “ ’ ff ” Sept . , when Eastman s Co ee H ouse , with two stores 7 and two stables were burned . Twenty years later , Nov . 1

1 8 3 n 6 . W. , the store of Major T . C ard and Dea Joh Evans

Shop on Portland street were burned . In the Shop were the last relics o f the original Academy which had been remo ved to the Site o f the stone school house where it was occupied

for school purposes until replaced by the stone structure . It

was then converted into the shop and dwelling . The last and most destructive fire in the annals of the A 1 9 6 u . 3 1 0 town occurred g , , when a fire started in the new

f u Ox ord House then occ pied by one hundred guests . 10 ’ M Although the fire started about o clock A . . , it was soon beyond control and before it could be subdued wor th o f village property and man y o f the stately elms which had graced Portland s treet for a century and which

time alone can replace , were ruined . Among the destroyed HISTORICAL 4 5

’ property was H . G . Freeman s printing plant with all Wf ’ n . machi ery ; S . Fi e s house and a store occupied as a mi$ f ’ l n r . i e y by Mrs Fi e; Mrs . Barker s millinery store house , , stable and barn ; the old Fryeburg House not occupied , besides seven residences . It also run over an extensive area o f the plains and burned the old grist mill south of the vil lage . The original OXFORD HOUSE was erected in 1801 by Samuel Osgood and was probably the most celebrated house

New f in this part of England . The new Ox ord was erected 1893 in , on a larger plan than the original , and was opened 15 to the public July , that year . A HOOK AN D LADDER with feet of hose and a hose 1 carriage were bought in April 88 7. The hose house was

f 400 f o f u soon a ter erected . eet hose was p rchased later ,

- but about one half of the hose was burned in the late fire .

The village is now well protected . Electric Lights were introduced into the stores and dwel 1901 f lings in , and the ollowing year a system of street 1904 lighting installed . In , the chair factory which sup

fo r plied the power was burned , and about one year no

McI ntir e lights were provided . Mr . then furnished power from his saw mill for a short period . For a year past no power has been supplied and the streets have not been lighted . The Fryeburg Electric Light Co . consists of local business men . 4 6 FRYEBURG

FRYEBURG HORSE RAILROAD .

Wa s 1887 This company chartered in March for the pur pose o i establishing and maintaining a h orse railroad in the village and to run to the Chautauqua grounds . It was at 5 once organized and $ 075 capital stock issued , which was taken by thirty stockholders . The road was installed and 25 equipped that season , opened July , but did not run regu l r l i a y unt l the following year . This road has remained under f f o W. the general m anagement Seth Fi e , and has been in operation each year since it begun . A total of per sons are sometimes carried annually during the running

O . . season , from June to ctober Three miles of road are laid This is the only horse railroad in the state . W Four years ago this road was sold to the hite Moun

Co . tain Paper who sold to the Pater Publishing Co . three

e years later . A ch arter grant d by the last legislature pro vides for the extension of this road to Stow and Lovell , and it is probable that one or both o f these places will soon be reached by a new line of road to be operated by horses or

fo r electricity . The plan a road to Lovell was contemplated by the original prom oters , but was not executed before dis f posing o the property .

Blake and John and Alva Leavitt . John Bryant later became owner and operator , in whose possession the mill

u - - ran down and the old p and down saw ceased . Eli Johnson

f o f rebuilt the mill , a ter which it passed through the hands several owners until it again decayed . A steam mill is now
