Francis Pierce, Esq. was born in Anisgram, Mass., in 1784 and came to these parts and settled on the west side of Christmas Cove, where he kept a store. He Was appointed light keeper of Monhegan Light; after serving his appointment there, he returned to Rutherford's Island and bought the place where Sands French now lives. He was appointed by the Government Deputy Collector of Customs for the port of Bristol and the district of Waldoboro about 1836. Shortly after this, he sold his place to the late lewis R. French who came from lincolnville, Maine. Mr. Pierce bought a house a short distance north from Where David House now lives, where he died March 12, 1854, aged seventy years.
About this time Cyrus Kent lived on the place where Jamos Farrar now lives at the head of Christmas Cove. On the west side of the Cove at that time, were John Thurstin, Tab Knight, Stephen Tibbitts,

soldier of the Revolution, William Metcalf, father of the late Hon. B. D. Metc ._ f, a prominent Damariscotta shipbuilder of the last century. He came to these parts from Newburyport, Mass. He married Sarah Day of Damariscotta and settled at Christmas Cove, west for a short time. We are unable to learn his business while there, but have have reason to believe he kept a store. Later he moved to Damariscotta where the Hon. B. D. was born. East of what is now known as the Davis House is the oldest cellar where in the early days, about 1800 a family lived by the name of Griffin. Little is known of this family except that Joshua Gamage married a daughter,
Priscilla Griffin. They all moved from here to Cape Ann, or some part of Massa- Chuestts. Rev. Moses McFarland, previously alluded to, was born in South Bristol in 1782. In the religious revival under the Freewill Baptist in about 1800, he became interested in religious things and connect- ed himself with the Freewill Baptist Church Church, He at once began to take an active part in the religious meetings, and in 1805 Was duly ordained, according to the forms of that church, to preach the Gospel. About this time, he made his way northward far into the forests and began the clear- ing of a farm within the limits of Mont- ville, which was not then incorporated. Here he built a log house. He married a lady of his native place, Patience Curtis, on October 20, 1805 and began life in earnest. Later he removed a short distance to a place on the direct road to Belfast to the Kennebec where, in time, a small village grew up and is now known as MoFarland's Corner. Here he spent the re-

mainder of his life carefully cultivating his farm during the week and preaching the Gospel freely on the Sabbath. His education was quite limited, but he had considerable ability as an extempor anious speaker and became in that time very fam- iliar with the simple texts of the English Bible, so that he discourses or extractions were interesting and effective. Having lived Some twenty years or more in comm- union with the Freewill Baptist Church, about 1826 a considerable change took place in his religious views and he became a Universalist. This change heing ze- cognized a year or two later, he became formally connected with the convention of this denomination and continued his labors on the Sabbath as before, his parish ex- tending from the Kennebec on the west to the Penobscot on the east, his services were always performed without stipulation as to payment, but he gratefully accepted the free offerings of the people. Always and everywhere he maintained the same el- evated Christian character and was greatly respected and beloved even by those who were not of his own party or creed. He died at his home in 1866 at the age of eighty-four years, surrounded by his child Children and grandchildren and more than all, his aged companion with whom he had lived more than sixty years. Rev. McFar- land's father and mother's graves are near the bank of the Damariscotta River on the Clifford place, so-called, on the West side of Rutherford's Island. We have no record of them, only that they lived on this place at the time of McFarland's birth.

Mr. Samuel Otis, who at one time owned Rutherford's Island, had children, but all except Mr. John Otis settled in other parts. Mr. John Otis married Mary Curtis. He was a house joiner and built many of the houses in this section; he also was a farmer. His Children were John, Samuel Jr., Nancy, Mary, Ambrose and others others: As the family records were lost when the Otis house burned, this record is not complete. Mr. Otis died December 19, : 1866, aged 91 years 9 months. His wife died June 30, 1856. A Baptist Church Was established in the lower part of the town in 1788. The church book is headed as follows: The Book of Record of the Baptist Church of Christ in Bristol, established in 1788 by Elders Daniel Hubbard and Benja- min Randall, They had no church building but held their meetings in the school house and dwellings. This church was comprised of some of the most substantial citizens of the town, but for some reason the organi- Zation was not long maintained. From this time up to the winter of 1879-80, the people of this section were without a Church organization; meanwhile, the comm- unity was ministered to by the parish min- isters of Bristol and others of different denominations: Congregation, Universalist, and others, for the most part Methodists. The meetings being held in the schoolhouses up to about 1866 when Union Hall was built. and used for religious services until the new Union Church Was built. During the intervening time between the Baptist or- ganization termination and 1879, Mr. Parsons awakened quite interest in the Sunday Schools. The Rev. G. W. Quimby of Augusta, Universalist, editor of the Gospel
Page 18
Banner, visited the place and preached in the Union Hall quite frequently. Rev. Mor- Bridge and Russell, Congregational, supp- lied at times, also I. D. Evans.
Marias and Sally, and many of its . members, were transferred to the Methodist and other denominations. In 1879-81 a re- vival of religion occurred under the labors of Rev. A. J. Clifford, and a branch of the East Boothbay Church Was established here. East Boothbay and South Bristol Appoint- ments: Rev. A. J. Clifford, 1879-80-81-82- 83; Rev. F. D. Handey, 1884; Rev. W. I. Brown, 1885-86-87; Rev. J. Biram, 188-89; Rev. W. F. Campbell, 1890-9] .; Rev. W. F. Johnston, 1892-93; Rev. V. P. Wardwell, 1889-95; Rev. A. E, Russell, 1896-97-98-99; Rev. W. A. McGraw, 1900; Rev. E. S. Gahan, 190; Rev. Gahan was the last man appointed to South Bristol as a branch of the East Boothbay Church.
The Union Church building at Ruther- ford's Island Was dedicated August 6, 1898 and is a Union property, uncontrolled by any sectarian ownership. The church bell is a memorial gift of the late Mary A. Pierce. The history of the church organi- Zation begins with the new Century under the ministry of Rev. W. Henry McBride of Bristol Mills, who supplied the church in Connection with his parish work up to a Short time after the beginning of the pastorate of Rev. C. Wellington Rogers, the first pastor of the now church. He served from 1902-1905. He was succeeded by E. A. Mason who served from 1902 to 1908. He was succeeded by G. W. Barentzen who ser- ved until 1909. He was succeeded by G. W.
Page 19
Woodwell who served to 1920. He was suc- ceeded by W. H. Jackson who served to 1921. He was succeeded in 1922 by A. J. Dunnells. The exact dates are not given; in some Cases there was a short period without any settled pastor.
Previous to about the middle of the last century, our school houses and schools school s were very poor; probably South Bristol was a fair sample of all rural towns in New England. The heating system was from open fire places or Franklin Stoves which were somewhat better; but vith with either it was a hard matter to warm more than one side at a time. Although surrounded by forests, the wood was almost always wet and greeen, as no means was pro- vided for keeping it dry after having to dig it from a snow bank. The wood was pro- vided by free contribution, each in turn furnishing a load as required and often it Was very poor. About 1848, a larger and more commodious house was built on Ruther- ford's Idland. This house was so far in · advance of the old one that it did not meet with the approval of some, as they thought it too expensive, and to use a little sarcasm, they called it the meeting house. It had two doors in the end; the women entered at the right-hand door, and the men at the left. This house was used for religious meetings as well as for schools. In those days the men and women did not sit together, but man and wife parted at the door. A few years later sim- il ar school houses were built in other parts of the town and served for church buildings for many years. In those days, all evening meetings and public gatherings
page 20
were appointed at early candle light.
The South Bristol Post Office was established at Rutherford's Island In 1863. and John Otis appointed postmaster, which office he held up to his death which ocour- ed May 13, 1885. During Mr. Otis term the Post Office was located in a building ad- jacent to the Union Church property. Nelson W. Gamage was then appointed and served about nine years, when he was suc- ceeded by Julius G. Gamago, He was succeed- ed by Merret E. Thompson who held the office for sixteen years when he was suc- ceeded by Daniel G, Berry who held the office up to 1917. He was succeeded by the present incumbent, Everett W. Gamage, Justice of Peace from the early selectmen to the present timo, were Franklin Pieroe, Wm. Mcclintock, Thomas Thompson, John Otis, boring Thorp, Elliot P. Gamago, Everett W. Gamage.

Few places in the country in the early days suffered more from the great evil of Intemperance than this town in the early days. In 1828 the foundations of temper ance Societies began to be generally advocated, very many hailed the movement with joy and immediately resolved to lend their aid to the good cause, meetings were first held in the town house at Bristol Mills; the first meeting was called the last of August 1828 and was opened with prayer by the Rev. Enos Baxter. This movement extended to South Bristol and was met with favor. Many of the most prominent men became interested in the good cause at a later period, 1840. The Washington Monument was started, and accomplished much good, as a great reform- ation was started by this society. Later a Lodge of Sons of Temperance was organized and still later the Godd Templers, and thus the good work went on until probably no place on the coast has profited more than this by the great temperance reforma- tion. The effect of the first movement on the public sentiment was manifested Sept- ember 10, 1832, by a vote of the citizens of Bristol, recommending the selectmen to grant no licenses for the year ensuing for
Page 23
retailing ardent spirits. April 10 of the next year, their recommendations were Changed to instructions; at the same time, they, by vote, promised to sustain their faithful public servants if they should be put to any trouble in consequence of their doings. To look at South Bristol, its beautiful location removed from the rush and turmoil of the busy town and city, we Would almost be led to believe that sorrow or trouble Would never enter its bounds, yet many homes have been saddened by the loss of dear ones that have gone down to the sea in ships never to return. Two almost, if not quite tragic events I will mention which brought more sorrow to South Bristol than any one event or blow of the Civil War which struck South Bristol, as all of the country, hard, and has been felt more than half a century. The loss of the Schooner Glide, a packet running between Boston and Damariscotta, Maine, foundered November 24, 1852, a short distance from and in sight of Southport, Maine, with Capt. John Pierce and his two sons, Jonathan and Jamag, and Rachel Russell, daughter of Bapt. Robert and Nancy Russell, all of Sputh Bristol, Mrs. Pierce, with two sons and one daughter, survived: Elliott, Eliph- alet, and Martha. Elliott entered the sor- vice on the breaking out of the Civil War, and Was shot and died at Spotsylvania, Va. , member of the thirty-two Massachusetts Volunteers. Eliphalet was lost at sea, March 17, 1864. Martha died at her home, April 14, 1870. Mrs. Pierce lived to be more than ninety years old, and al though passing through this terrible affliction, She bore it with Christian fortitude and lived and laborod for others. Almost her

last act was to give $100. 00 to help buy the church bell for the new church.
December 1873, the schooner A & M Gamage was built and partially owned by A. & M. Gamage & Co., three brothers, Albion O, Menzries R., and Lebbus A. , Cf South Bristol. Commanded by Capt. John I .. Farrar, he with all the crew went down with the new schooner on her first voyage. The other South Bristol men were Lewis Erskine, Geo. R. Gamage, and Ariel Burnham. This new schooner sailed from Portland with a load of hay, bound for Mobile. A gale of vind came on that night, and no tidings of her were ever received.
In 1854 A. & M. Gamage and Co. built their first vessell, a Small schooner, "Jennie Lind." From that time this com- pany built more than eighty registered vessels, including several steamers, be- sides repairing and they also built a large number of small boats. -
Names of othere building a less number Were Ambrose A. Jones, Benjamin Thompson, and Stephen Farrar. Ship "Jane", 400 tons was built in 181.2 by Drummond Bearce, and Huston at MoClure's landing in the Walpole part of the town. The ship was about half Completed when the war broke out. Her builders knew that the British were liable to come up the river and destroy her, so they concluded to sink her in the river. She was launched and sunk near the bank of the Channel above Prentiss Island. She De- mainod there until after the close of the War, when her builders had much trouble in raising her successfully. She was sold to

Capt. Richard Tucker of Wiscaseet and proved very successful. Schooner "Esld Runner," about 75 tons, was built in 1830 by a Mr. Bearce near the place where the "Jane" was built. She was built some dis- tance from the shore in the dooryard of the builder. After she was Completed, her owners hauled her to the river bank in the month of March. The river was frozen over, and the bank was very steep. She got away from them and slid down the bank, striking the ice and damaging the vessel badly. When When she was being built, the owners Could not decide on the name for her, but that decided it, and they agreed to call her. the "Bold Runner. "
The" Tipperance, 30 tons, was built by Samuel Otid, 1840; we are unable to locate the place this vessel was built, but think it was evidently Rutherford's Island.
