CHAPTER XIX.
TIIE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
FOR many years after Rumford was settled intoxicating liquors were sold at the taverns and at the stores, and there was scarcely anybody who did not use them in their families. It formed a part of the stock of all traders, and was considered as important to have on hand as other articles of household consumption. It was retailed on the premises and sold in any desired quantity to be carried away. The laborer in the field and shop felt the need of its exhilarating influence ; it flowed freely at raisings, felling bees, huskings and trainings ; if a neighbor called on a neighbor, it was considered discourteous not to offer him something to drink ; it was considered indispensable on funeral occasions ; parents drank with their children and the minister with his flock; in fact, its use was universal, and no one, so far as we can see at this day, seemed to see any impending evil in this indulgence. This seems very strange to us now, with the flood of light that has been thrown upon the subject since that time ; but they did not have the benefit of modern scientific investigation, and seem also to have been morally blind upon the whole subject.
The result of the unrestricted sale and use of intoxicating liquors after a time began to be seen and felt. Drunkards began to multi- ply, poverty followed in its train, and the records show that entire families were thrown upon the town, the cause of which could be easily traced to over-indulgence in strong drink. During the minis- try of Rev. Daniel Gould, although he did not hesitate to indulge in a social glass when he called upon his parishioners, intemperance became fearfully common in the church, and many members were disciplined for this vice. Not only were male members dealt with for drunkenness and profanity, but occasionally a female was sus- pended for the same causes, and still there was no organized effort to stay the evil for many years. It continued to be dispensed at the taverns, of which there were several in this town, and at each
122

of the several stores. The men who engaged in the business were the most popular men in town. They were honored with town office, with office in the militia, and were sent as representatives to the Maine Legislature. They were men whose characters were above reproach in all other respects, and it was considered no sin to keep and dispense that for which there was a universal demand.
A movement for the suppression of intemperance was begun in Massachusetts as early as 1812, but it made slow progress. As the result of years of agitation, the American Temperance Society was organized in 1826, and subordinate societies soon began to be organized in the several New England States. In 1829, thirteen of these societies were in Maine. The first one was organized in Prospect in 1827. There was one organized at Livermore in 1828, one at Bethel in 1829, and one in Paris in 1832. In 1834 there were societies in Dixfield, Sumner, Bethel and Andover, but none in Rumford. In 1833, the Maine State Temperance Society was organized in Augusta, with Governor Samuel E. Smith as Presi- dent. At this meeting reports were made from various towns in this county, but none from Rumford. Buekfield reported, "oppo- sition to temperance reform by political demagogues, followed by their supporters, half drunk." Andover reported, "opposition by the intemperate," and Sweden, "opposition is composed of all classes, but two rival candidates for office have more influence than all others." Later, Rumford may have had a temperance society, under the auspices of the State Society, but if it had, its records are lost, and during those years there is nothing to show that the people here took any active interest in the cause, or made any effort to help it on. Interested in it they must have been from varying reasons, but things appear to have drifted on in much their own way. In 1833, a union temperenee society had been organized at Paris, composed largely of lawyers, and Peter C. Virgin was a member. At a meeting this year, committees were appointed in each town to solicit memberships, and the committee for Rumford was Henry Martin. The records are not in existence, and the results attained cannot be stated.
The Washingtonian movement, which began in a small way in . the city of Baltimore, reached Oxford county in 1842, and found strong sympathy in Rumford. There was a general awakening here, and many signed the pledge and kept it. David Knapp, who lived at the Falls, became an eloquent advocate of total abstinence
123

in this and adjoining towns. Inebriates not only reformed them- selves, but used every effort to bring others into the organization. It was during this reform that the character of the celebrations on the fourth of July was changed, and temperance advocacy and reform took the place of drunken revelry.
At a town meeting in Rumford, during the latter days of the Washingtonian movement, the following resolutions were offered and passed, practically unanimously, thus showing the advanced position of the people of the town upon the subject of temperance at this time :
"Resolved, That we do most earnestly plead with our fellow citi- zens to quit a business which must be uncomfortable to themselves if they ever reflect on the subject, as being partakers in the crimes and melancholy deaths so frequently occurring under the influence of intoxicating drinks sold by them, and only to get money.
"Resolved, That we, the citizens of Rumford, have in lawful town meeting assembled, in behalf of the wives, children and friends of those whose deaths have been caused by rum, and in behalf of our wives, sons and daughters, enter our most solemn protest against liquor selling as a beverage, as an immorality that ought no longer to continue.
"Resolved, That the licensing board of this town are hereby instructed to license two persons to sell ardent spirits for medicinal and mechanical purposes only, who shall give bonds for the faith- ful discharge of their trust ; the said venders shall keep an account of their sales, with the names of all purchasers and purposes for which it was bought."
The Washingtonian movement accomplished a great amount of permanent good, but all such movements have their decline and fall as well as their inception and growth. There was wanting in it that concert of action to give it permanency. But Rumford had become a temperance town, and ready to take part in the organiza- tions which have succeeded each other since the great Washingto- nian movement died out. The Sons of Temperance, Temperance Watchmen and Good Templars have each served to keep the tem- perance ball in motion, and each has been productive of great good. The temperance cause, like all great moral movements, requires constant and untiring effort. It requires "line upon line and
124

precept upon precept," and is worthy the efforts of the greatest minds. Every new organization brings to the front a new class of workers, and so the good work goes steadily on. Rumford has not only endorsed moral means for the recovery of the fallen, but on each occasion, when the question of prohibition has been submitted to the people, it has given the principle a hearty support. Among the persons who were quite early interested in temperance work, besides the ministers, were Samuel S. Snow and Dea. Henry Martin.
Rumford Division of the Sons of Temperance was organized at East Rumford in 1850. William Frost was Patriarch and Ajalon Godwin, Secretary. The report of the Secretary for July, 1850, gives thirty-three members. In April, 1851, its membership had increased to seventy, and in July to eighty-two. At the meeting of the Grand Lodge in Norway in 1852, Cyrus Small, David Knapp and William Frost were initiated and became members of the Grand Lodge. Alvan Bolster was initiated the year previous. In
December, 1852, one hundred members of Rumford Division were reported, and in July, 1853, one hundred and ten. This was the largest number reported, and from this time there was a gradual decline. Alvan Bolster was Grand Worthy Associate of the Grand Lodge in 1856, and Grand Worthy Patriarch in 1857. In earlier times in Rumford he had been a retail liquor seller, but he took hold of the temperance movement with a good deal of energy. and con- tinued active in the cause to the close of his life. He had seen the evil effects of dram drinking and of the traffic in ardent spirits. and was prepared to advocate and work for any kind of suasion that would reform the drinker and put a stop to the traffic.
After Rumford Division had gone down and out, Anchor Division of the Sons of Temperance was chartered July 14. 1860. Its first return was made in October of that year. It then had fifteen mem- bers. Kimball Martin was Master, and Albert Leavitt. Secretary. In December it reported eighteen members. with Frank G. Russell as Patriarch and Mark T. Adams Secretary. Their numbers grad- ually increased, and in March, 1864, seventy-three were reported, which was the maximum number. Many of its members, including Dr. Frank G. Russell, went into the army, some of them never to return. In September, 1867, its membership was reduced to ten. and in May, 1868, its charter was declared forfeited. All such organizations are ephemeral, but these two Divisions of the Sons.

covering a period of some fifteen years, did a great amount of good. Their secret meetings made them attractive, and the ritualistic work when properly rendered, was very impressive and calculated to create a lasting impression. They were educators in the work of temperance and reform, and many who quit the inebriating cup in order to become members, returned to it no more.
CHAPTER XX.
FREEMASONRY.
YREEMASONRY was planted in Rumford in 1819, and in a fertile soil. The movement had a good backing, and the early members were leading citizens in this and the surrounding towns. The nearest lodge had been at Livermore, and several of the charter members of Blazing Star Lodge had been made masons there. The next nearest one and the oldest in the county was Oxford Lodge at Norway. Blazing Star Lodge, therefore, had a large jurisdiction, including, in addition to the town of Rumford, the towns of Mexico, Dixfield, Andover, Newry, Bethel, Woodstock and Greenwood, besides several plantations. The early records are lost, and a consecutive history of the lodge from year to year is quite impossible. The lodge prospered for several years. Its meetings were well attended, and there were constant accessions to its numbers from among the best men within its jurisdiction. But the great anti-masonic movement affected the fraternity here as it did nearly everywhere else. The interest became dormant and in many cases died out. The principles of the order were cherished in the hearts of true masons, but there were no outward demonstra- tions. This condition of things lasted for several years. There were no meetings, and the valuable early records were either lost or destroyed. Then came a revival; the scattered brethren were called together and the lodge was reorganized. Since that time there has been a steady growth, though slow at times, and Blazing Star Lodge has had its share of prosperity. The jurisdiction of this lodge has been much diminished by the establishment of lodges at Dixfield, Turner, Woodstock and Bethel.
Blazing Star Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons was instituted
126
HISTORY OF RUMFORD.
under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, March 11, 1819. The charter members appear to have been Joseph K. White, William Wheeler, Joseph Lufkin, Ingalls Bragg, Farnum Abbot, Henry Farwell, Winthrop Knight, Jonah Hall, Tillson Hall, Obediah Kimball and Abel Wheeler. The first communication is said to have been held at the residence of William Wheeler, who was much interested in the establishment of the lodge. The meet- ings of the lodge were held in Rumford until 1861. In August of that year, a petition for the removal of the lodge to Mexico was approved by the District Deputy Grand Master, and this was carried into effect before the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge in 1862. The reasons urged for its removal were, that Mex- ico was more nearly in the centre of the jurisdiction, and that the place of meeting in Rumford was inconvenient and unsafe. The meetings were held in Mexico until 1870, when arrangements were made for a new lodge at Dixfield and the return of Blazing Star Lodge to Rumford Centre. This was carried into effect during the year, and there was rejoicing in Rumford that their old masonic home had been restored.
In 1829, the lodge had twenty-seven members ; in 1830, twenty- six members. There had been one death during the year. The same report as to number of members was made in 1831. In 1832 the following officers were elected : Master, Joseph H. Wardwell ; Senior Warden, Samuel Lufkin ; Junior Warden, Benjamin Poor ; Treasurer, Moses F. Kimball ; Secretary, Hezekiah Hutchins, Jr. ; Senior Deacon, James N. Brickett ; Junior Deacon, Amos Andrews ; Francis Cushman, Senior Steward ; Thomas Bragg, Junior Stew- ard; Curtis P. Howe, Tyler. The following are the members at this time : Francis Swan, Aaron Graham, David H. Farnum, Moses Abbot, Alvan Bolster, Farnum Abbot, Joseph Adams, Moses Merrill, David Kimball, Joseph Lufkin, Joshua Graham, James V. Poor, Jonathan Powers, John Lufkin, Colman Godwin, Abel Wheeler, Cotton Elliot and Stephen G. Stevens. There was no work in the lodge from 1829 to 1833, and from 1833 to and includ- ing 1848 no report was made to the Grand Lodge, and Blazing Star had no representation at the annual meetings. During all these years, the District Deputy Grand Master of the Second Masonic District, to which Blazing Star Lodge belonged, made no report. It was a dark period for the ancient order, and many prophesied that it would never revive again. In 1849, the following were
127 /
HISTORY OF RUMFORD.
elected officers of Blazing Star Lodge : Master, Nathaniel B. Crockett ; Senior Warden, Colman Godwin ; Junior Warden, Caleb Besse, Jr. ; Secretary, Hezekiah Hutchins, Jr. ; Treasurer, George G. Bragg; Senior Deacon, James N. Brickett ; Junior Deacon, Benjamin W. Tingley ; Senior Steward, Alvan Bolster ; Junior Steward, David Kimball ; Tyler, Farnum Abbot. The whole number of members reported, twenty-two; number initiated during the year, six.
The next report to the Grand Lodge was made in 1853. The whole number of members reported was fifteen ; two had deceased during the year. Benjamin W. Tingley was Master ; William Frost, Senior Warden ; James N. Brickett, Junior Warden ; Alvan Bol- ster, Treasurer, and Caleb Besse, Jr., Secretary. The master was Rev. Benjamin W. Tingley of Dixfield, an enthusiastic mason, and there was a marked revival of interest through his influence. He was re-elected in 1854, with most of the other officers. After 1853, reports to the Grand Lodge were regularly made.
Where the lodge had met in all the years previous to the removal to Mexico, cannot now be stated. At first, meetings were held in private houses at East Rumford and at the Center. For five years prior to 1853, meetings were held at Benjamin Barden's hotel at Rumford Corner. In 1853, meetings were interdicted by the Dis- trict Deputy Grand Master, because there was no safe and suitable place for holding them. Meetings were held at the house of James H. Farnum, and afterward removed to the house of James M. Dol- loff, who kept a tavern at Rumford Center.
On account of the loss of the early records, a list of all the chief officers cannot be given, but the following, the early ones taken from the statements of early members, and the later from the records, constitutes a list as nearly correct as it is possible to make it at this time.
The following persons had served as Masters prior to 1844 : Joseph White, Joseph Lufkin, Alvan Bolster, Francis Swan, Joseph H. Wardwell, Benjamin Poor and Hezekiah Hutchins. The Secre- taries serving the same period were Abel Wheeler, Curtis P. Howe and Hezekiah Hutchins ; and the Treasurers, Jonathan Holman, Abel Wheeler, Moses Merrill, Aaron Graham, Colman Godwin, Amos Andrews and Moses F. Kimball. After the revival in 1844, officers were quite regularly elected, and the records fairly well kept up to 1850, since which time there is no break in the records.
