The first mill at South Chatham was built by Nathan Ames, for sawing long and short lumber. Here also was the early custom grinding mill to which the farmers of the

HISTORICAL
section brought their crops of corn and rye which furnished a staple article of diet. Later owners of this mill were Edward Webb, Chas. R. Locke, and the White Mtn. Paper Co., who are heavy owners of timber lands in town, and Geo. B. James the present owner. This mill has been rebuilt and has been under nearly constant operation. In 1817, two saw mills, a cloth dressing mill, a carding machine and two corn mills were in operation in town. There were then 201 inhabitants. These mills were operated chiefly for the man- ufacture of home products and were generally of small capacity. Being at a distance from the railroad not so much tribute has been paid to commercialism, the products of the forest and farm supplying many of the necessitiss of living.
THE CHURCH relations of Chatham and Stow are closely connected, as indeed are all business and social relations. The Methodist Church in Stow is attended by members from Chatham, as the CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH here is supported by many from the sister town. Services were held in town by preachers of the various faiths early in its history. In 1860, Rev. Benj. Stearns of Lovell held services here one half the time, and on Oct. 22, 1861, the Stow and Chatham Con- gregational church was organized. Rev. E. H. Hart became acting pastor in 1862, and was followed by Ezra B. Pike the following spring. Rev. Mr. Pike remained with the church until May 1867, 2 months in 1868, and from May 18, 1869, to May 20, 1873, when he removed to Boothbay. Several supplies have been stationed here for from one to six months through the summers, viz: Francis P. Smith, 1867;

CHATHAM
Israel T. Otis, 1868; Chas. E. Fitz; 1874; J. H. Leavitt, 1874 and from Oct. 1875; Geo. P. Blanchard, 1875; John D. Emerson, 1875; J. H. Leavitt, 1876-77; Isaac H. Libby, ordained pastor 1878, dismissed Feb. 4, 1880; Nestor Light, 1881; Clarence Pike, 1881; Henry Farrar, acting pastor from July 1, 1882 to Mar. 1, 1888; Chas. S. Young, 1897; Jas. O. Carter, 1903-June 30, 1904; I. J. Merry, 1905. The church is now without a pastor. The house of worship was erected in 1871, a year or two after the erection of the Union House, now the Methodist church, was erected at Stow.
Rev. Mr. Hart taught a term of high school at the town house, near the time and probably during his pastorate. The public schools of Chatham rank well with those of simi- lar towns of this section, while many of its advanced stud- ents continue their studies at Fryeburg Academy.
A good list of the residents of this town is found upon the war rolls from 1861 to 1865. Many of these enlisted on the quotas of Chatham and served in New Hampshire regi- ments, while others served in Maine regiments. Of the former were Jas. S. Hunt, 5th N. H. Reg .; Jas. M. Harriman, died Jan. 20, 1862; Wm. Goodwin, 6th N. H .; Jas. Emerson, Edgar Harriman, Amos Harriman, Phelmen Harriman, all of Co. K., 14th N. H. Reg .; John H. Stiles and Wm. H. Don- nelly, Heavy Art .; Orren Heath, Chas. Weeks, Elmore Fife, Micajah N. Fife, Moses Harriman, Ebenezer Pickering, all of Co. C. 2d N. H. The following were also in the service, some of them serving in Maine regiments :- Samuel B. Knox, Simpson, Horace and Stephen Chandler, Edgar A. Stevens, John Stiles, Osborne Anderson, Chas. H. Binford, John

For much of the information given in this chapter weare indebted to Micajah N. Fife, whose name appears in the above list. Mr. Fife has served as post master at North Chatham for many years; and represented this town in the Legislature in 1905-06. His brother, Seth Wyman Fife, who is a native of Chatham, has practiced law at Fryeburg for many years and is a leading man in the affairs of that town; his name is also well known throughout New England as the proprietor of the E. W. Burbank Seed Co. Chatham has had no resident physicians or lawyers.

CENSUS

F1
Census-1907
The population of the towns of Fryeburg, Lovell, Sweden Stow and Chatham has been arranged in families, where that arrangement has been possible. In these families, in addi- tion to the resident living members, the names of the non- resident members are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of all former resi- dents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After the name of each non-resident will be found the present address, when such address has been given to us. Non-residents are indicated by the (*).
When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ).
Following the names of the population is the occupations.
