CITY OF SACO.

an honorable tribute to the zeal and euergy both of the officiating clergymen and of the parishioners. At the same date, November 20th, the parish was admitted into union with the Convention, then holding an adjourned meeting in Saco.

Besides the labors of Mr. Wells, the services were main- tained during the spring and summer of 1827 by the Rev. Mr. Cutler, afterwards Dr. Cutler, by the Rev. Alonzo Potter, afterwards Bishop of Pennsylvania, by the Rev. Mr. Olney, and by others, until August 13th, when the Rev. Horatio Potter, deacon, now the venerated Bishop of New York, was called to and took charge of the parish, its first settled minister and his first charge. He left in April, 1828, to accept a professorship in Washington-now Trinity-College, Hartford, Conn. Mr. Potter was suc- ceeded by the Rev. Samuel, now Dr. Fuller. In a few months he was also called to a professorship in Washington College, and is now a professor in the Berkeley Divinity School, Connecticut. He was succeeded by the following clergymen, in the order given, and with a most sad aud ruinous frequency of changes, viz .: Norris M. Jones, re- maining about five months; Clement F. Jones, ahout six months ; Henry B Goodwin, about six months; Joseph Muenscher, afterwards Dr. Muenscher, and professor in the Theological Seminary at Gambier, Ohio, he had charge of the parish about two years and two months; John A. Vaughan, about seven months ; Stephen C. Millett, staying a year ; William Horton, afterwards Dr. Horton, having charge for three years and six months, and during whose ministry the parish was quite prosperous; Sylvester Nash, remaining a year ; Thomas L. Randolph, about nine months ; Reubeu E. Taylor, one year and three months ; Frederick Gardiner, now Dr. Gardiner, and professor in the Berkeley Divinity School, in charge of the parish two years; J. Pinkney Hammond, about two years and two months; George Slattery, officiating about three years and three months, and under his ministry the sadly depressed parish was much revived ; Daniel C. Weston, now Dr. Weston, who officiated about eight months; Samuel Cowell, who had charge of the parish four years and two months. Dur- ing his rectorship, in 1855, he organized a parish in Bidde- ford under the name of " Emmanuel Church." After Mr. Cowell left, the services in Biddeford most unfortunately were discontinued, and the parish became extinct. Mr. Cowell was followed by Daniel C. Ingraham, who left in a few weeks on account of ill health, and he by Edwin W. Murray, who officiated on alternate Sundays in connection with Dresden, the parish being in a very low state. John B. Southgate followed, remaining about a year and a half. Samuel J. Evans succeeded Mr. Southgate, and was the im- mediate predecessor of the Rev. W. G. Alger, present rec- tor. He was here six years, a considerably longer rector- ship than that of any previous incumbent.

The present rector took charge of the parish in February, 1868, and is here still, nearly nine years and a half.

Since the organization of the parish 373 infants and adults have been baptized, and 228 have been confirmed. Some of these now compose a part of Christ Church, Biddeford, which was organized in August, 1869, but we have in- cluded none which have been baptized and confirmed

within the bounds of the Biddeford Parish since its or- ganization. The number of actual communicants has never been larger, not even when the parish was most flourishing and the congregation the largest, at no period exceeding 50 at one time, until quite recently, when, just before the formation of the Biddeford Parish and the consequent taking away of a part of the communicants into that parish, the number reached about 80.

Some considerable changes have been made in the church edifice since its erection. A recess chancel has been formed, with a vestry on one side and an organ-loft on the other, with a consequent change in the position and arrangement of altar, desk, and pulpit. The old windows have given place to stained windows, and a very beautiful chancel window. The gallery has been fitted up into a neat and convenient little chapel ; the church, inside and outside, has been differently repainted and tinted; the seats have been upholstered ; the significant cross surmounts the tower, in place of the original meaningless and unsymmetrical shaft and ball; and some other minor alterations have been made.

At present the parish numbers over 50 families, besides individuals not included in families, 70 communicants, and upwards of 60 pupils in the Sunday-school.

The present wardens are William P. Moody and John Chadwiek, Jr. Vestrymen : Frank O. L. Hobson, Horace Woodman, Charles H. Cleaves, Edward Wylie, R. H. Nott ; William S. Noyes, clerk ; John Chadwick, treasurer.

FREE-WILL BAPTISTS.

As early as 1782 a few converts to the sentiments of this denomination were made in the north part of the town through the preaching of Elders Randall and Hubbard. Their numbers steadily increased under the ministry of various preachers, and in 1808 a church was organized, consisting of 85 members. In 1809 a meeting-house was erected, +4 by 36, about six miles from the village, and the society incorporated in 1811. Elder George Parcher be- came qualified as a preacher in 1810, aud served them as their stated minister upwards of twenty years. This church has become extinet.

The church in the village was organized Sept. 27, 1832, by Rev. Samuel Burbank, Elias Libby, and James Fernald, and consisted of 18 members. The first pastor was James Fernald, and his successors have been E. G. Ayer, Aaron Ayer, L. H. Witham, C. Bean, Amos Ridlon, James Rand, Daniel Jackson, D. M. Graham, Stephen Buttrick, Charles H. Smith, James M. Bailey, F. W. Straight, O. T. Moul- ton, E. True, and the present pastor, C. H. Webber. The first deacons were Rufus Seavey and Joseph C. Davis. Their successors have been Elijah Smith, William F. Remick, Freedom Parcher, Tobias Serewton, Charles Milliken, Eze- kiel Stacey, and Obadiah Durgin. The first meeting-house was built on Temple Street, in 1840, in which the society worshiped till 1859, when it was sold, and the house built by the Universalist Society on Store Street was purchased, and is now used as their place of worship. The history of this church has been one of activity, growth, and usefulness. It is composed of upwards of 300 active members, and has a flourishing Sabbath-school of 225 scholars.

HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY, MAINE.

THE FIRST FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH

of Saco and Biddeford (O. S.) was organized Sept. 26, 1857, and was composed of 17 members. It is connected with the Limington Quarterly Meeting, and is contending for the same faith, doctrine, and usages taught by the founders of the denomination,-Benjamin Randall, John Colby, and others. Orin Parcher and Horace Phillips are the ordained deacons. Westcott Bullock has pastoral charge. The society has no church edifice, but worships in a hall over the York Company's counting-room. Since formation its growth has been encouraging, and it now numbers 75. Sixteen have died, been dismissed, and rejected from its fold since its existence began. The first church of this denomination was organized June 30, 1780, at New Dur- ham, N. H., and the first quarterly meeting was held at Little Falls (now Hollis), Dec. 6, 1783.

BAPTISTS.

The Baptist Church was organized Jan. 23, 1827, and consisted of seven members, viz., John L. Smith, William Emerson, Rachel Smith, Sally Marshall, Mary Banks, Sally Scamman, and Eunice Cole. Frederick Clark was the first pastor. During his ministry of five years an effort to build a meeting-house was made, and a frame was raised in the fall of 1828. But difficulties arose between pastor and people as to the appropriation of funds raised for completing the house, an investigation was had, Mr. Clark censured and dismissed by a council, and the frame remained for years uncovered. The successor of Mr. Clark was Clark Sibley for the year 1836. Ahira Jones was called to its pastorate June 20, 1838, and resigned it May 1, 1843. Alfred Colburn was called in August of that year, and was followed in 1846 by N. M. Williams, who closed a six years' pastorate Aug. 8, 1852. In December following Josiah Keely commenced his labors, serving until January, 1864, when he resigned to accept a chaplainey in the army, and died in New Orleans, June 24, 1864. Benjamin Wheeler began July 1, 1864, and closed Sept. 28, 1869. Rev. Charles F. Holbrook, the present pastor, entered upon his labors Aug. 1, 1870. The first deacons, Stephen Gowen and Augustus Adams, were chosen about 1834 or 1835. The following are their successors : I. M. Thompson, Sam- uel Pilsbury, John H. Gowen, Tristram Jordan, Charles Hill, and Bradbury Seavey. The early history of this church was one of trials and much difficulty, but through them all it has been brought, showing in the main a steady gradnal growth, so that its present condition is one of pros- perity. Its membership is 173. It worshiped in a vestry and an upper chamber until its present house of worship was erected in 1842.

UNITARIAN.

The Second Parish was formed Jan. 16, 1827, and Rev. Thomas Tracy, who had been preaching in the Second Parish in Biddleford, transferred his services to it, and was installed Nov. 21, 1827. The meeting-house, a hand- some edifice 76 by 46, and built during the year on con- tract by Mr. John Johnson, was dedicated at the same time. The members at the time of incorporation were 40. Mr. Tracy's connection with the parish terminated Aug. 3, 1828.

The society was without a pastor until June, 1830, when Rev. Jason Whitman was ordained, and remained till April 1, 1834. He was born in Bridgewater, Mass., April 30, 1799; graduated at Harvard, 1825; ordained at Saco, 1830; general agent of American Unitarian Association, 1834 ; pastor Second Unitarian Society in Portland, 1835 ; removed to Lexington, Mass., July 30, 1845; died in Portland, Jan. 25, 1848. After Mr. Whitman left, the society was again destitute of a pastor until March 2, 1836, when Rev. George A. Williams was ordained. His connection was dissolved in March, 1839. In July follow- ing, Rev. Charles A. Farley was settled over the society. His pastorate was but one year. The church was then closed for a short period, when Rev. Mr. Knapp preached four Sundays, but declined remaining longer. In April, 1841, Rev. William Cushing was settled. In October, 1842, he resigned his pastoral care, but continued to supply the pulpit until December. The Rev. J. T. G. Nichols preached his first sermon here by invitation of Mr. Cushing, Nov. 27, 1842, and continued to supply the pulpit until March 3, 1843, when he was invited to become the settled pastor, and was ordained the 12th of April following; since which he has been the accepted and useful pastor of this parish. The society now numbers 120 families, besides other attendants. In the vestry, separate from the meet- ing-house, a large and flourishing Sunday-school holds its sessions, and once a fortnight are held social parish meet- ings of young and old, called " Our Parish Parlor." The society is highly prosperous and flourishing.

A bell was purchased for the church in 1844 ; the build- ing was subsequently remodeled and refinished inside and out ; a new and fine organ was added in 1853. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Nichols, stated in his twentieth anniversary ser- mon, preached April 12, 1863, that during the twenty years of his ministry in the parish he had attended 279 funerals, united 196 couples in marriage, baptized 80, of whom 45 were adults and 35 children, and admitted 81 to the church. The number of families connected with the society, exclusive of single individuals, had increased from 70 to 112. The Sunday-school had increased in proportion. " At my coming," said he, " the superintendence of the school had just passed from the gifted and gratefully re- membered Adams to the charge of the no less devoted and faithful Wm. Allen. It has since been superintended suc- cessively by Chas. E. Storer, R. M. Chapman, the late lamented L. O. Cowan, and Thomas Quinby, under whom it is now sustaining the good reputation it has heretofore enjoyed, and is giving promise, we hope, of still further advancement. To that end it is earnestly to be desired that the older as well as younger members of the society will lend their hearty and practical co-operation."

Dr. Nichols' pastorate has been a long one, continuing from Aug. 12, 1843, to the present time, a period of nearly thirty-seven years.

JOHN TAYLOR GILMAN NICHOLS

is the son of the late Rev. Dr. Ichabod Nichols, for fifty years pastor of the First Parish, Portland, Me. He was born in Portland, April 24, 1817. His mother was a daughter of the late Hon. John Taylor Gilman, Governor

CITY OF SACO.

of New Hampshire, for whom he was named. At eleven years of age he went to Phillips ( Exeter) Academy, remain- ing one year. Returning to Portland, he was fitted for col- lege at the academy of which the late Bezaleel Cushman was preceptor. Entering Harvard University the summer term of 1834, in the sophomore year, nearly two years in advance of the regular course, he graduated in 1836, de- livering the salutatory Latin oration. Owing to deli- cacy of health, he spent the following winter as private tutor in the family of the late Rev. Dr. Keith, then acting principal of the Episcopal Seminary, near Alexandria, Va. In 1839 he entered the Divinity School at Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1842. The Second Parish (Uni- tarian), Saco, being without a pastor, he accepted, in No- vember, a unanimous invitation to supply their pulpit, was ordained the following April (13th), and continues (in 1879) their minister.

He married, Oct. 1, 1850, Miss Caroline M. Tucker, daughter of William Tucker, merchant of Boston, Mass. They have had five children,-William I., Henry G., Edgar H., Charles S. D., and Mary H. The latter died in 1868, aged six years and a half. The others are living. The first three have graduated with honor from Harvard Uni- versity, and are pursuing professional studies. The fourth, having spent two years at the Maine Agricultural College, is entering with good prospects the agricultural profession. In 1874, Mr. Nichols received the title of S.T.D., from Bowdoin College. He is at the present time president of the Saco Athenaeum, and of the York Institute, with both of which institutions he has been identified from the begin- ning. He was one of the originators of the Saco Provident Associatiou, and of all the seven ministers of the town who met twenty-three years ago, to establish this benefieent asso- ciation, he alone remains a resident of Saco. Having been early in his ministry elected a member of the school com- mittee, he had the satisfaction, while serving upon the board, of awakening a new interest in the school reports; of seeing all the old school-houses replaced by new ones, and the schools graded. Although the state of his health rendered his long continuance in the ministry doubtful in the beginning, and has always in a measure restricted his desired accomplishments, he has, by personal care, and the kindness of his parishioners, had a pastorate remarkable for not only its unusual length, but for its general harmony and prosperity. The number of families statedly attendant upon his ministry has doubled, and the church membership in- creased in a much larger ratio sinee his coming. Twice he resigned his pastoral relations, once to take charge of another ministry, to which he was invited, and once in con- sequence of failing health. In both cases the earnest re- monstrances of his people induced him to withdraw his resignation. In July, 1868, in obedience to medical coun- sel, to which he reluctantly submitted, he sailed from New York for Liverpool. Having visited some of the principal cities of England and the Continent, he returned in No- vember to his parish. The twenty-fifth anniversary of his settlement was celebrated by interesting public services in the church and the city hall, in which ministers from abroad and of the other churches of the town took active part. He is rewarded for almost exclusive devotion to his

own town and society by witnessing abundant good fruits of his ministry, hoth at home and in many distant parts of the country. His pen and voice have been always ready in behalf of temperance, education, and good learning. His only published writings are memorial and other occasional discourses, though his communications have been frequent to the secular press, chiefly upon educational and moral themes. He has preached in his own pulpit twelve hun- dred and seventeen written sermons, and many others extem- poraneously. After a ministry of thirty-seven years he has the satisfaction of seeing a large increase of liberal feeling towards the religious views he has advocated, and of being assured that his relations with his people were never more cordial than at the present time.

METHODIST.

The first Methodist sermon preached in Maine was by Rev. Jesse Lee, Sept. 10, 1793, at the house of Elisha Ayer, of this town. Under the labors of Rev. Asa Heath, a class of 20 members was formed in 1804, and Father Bryant appointed leader. For a number of years this place constituted a portion of a circuit, but became a station in 1828, at which time the church was organized under the charge of Rev. Moses 1Till. The pastors since have been P. P. Morrill, Thomas Greenhalgh, J. Atwell, N. D. George, J. Cushing, D. M. Rogers, J. W. Atkins, P. C. Richmond, E. Shaw, A. Moore, C. Munger, C. C. Cone, J. C. Berry, T. Hill, J. Colby, A. Sanderson, P. Jaques, C. C. Mason, P. II. Stinchfield, E. Martin, J. Hawks, C. J. Clark, and the present pastor, John B. Lapham. Membership, 207, and 19 probationers. The church property is valued at $5000. The meeting-house was built in 1840, while J. W. Atkins was preacher in charge; and the board of trus- tees was filled by George Scamman, Daniel Dresser, and Ebenezer Cleaves.

CHRISTIAN.

The Saco Christian Church was formed Sept. 30, 1863, under the counsel of a committee composed of six ministers appointed by the York and Cumberland Christian Confer- ence. Their names were Charles E. Goodwin, Isaiah Haley, Joseph Whitney, Samuel McCann, Zebulon S. Knight, and Thomas Moses. The membership at organization was 30. Henry Scamman and Lewis MeKenney were the first deacons chosen, and still fill that office. Elder Zebulon S. Knight was chosen first pastor, and ministered to the church till Sept. 17, 1869. His successor was Elder Joseph Whitney. The meeting-house was built in 1868.

THORNTON ACADEMY.

The aet incorporating Saco Academy was approved Feb. 16, 1811. It gave one-half a township of land, which was located in 1812 near Mooschead Lake, and was sold (except three lots) in 1830 to Nathaniel Haskell for $2584.92. The first meeting of the corporators was held March 25, 1811, at Cutts' Hall, near the new meeting-house. Messrs. T. G. Thornton, Wm. Moody, and James Gray were ap- pointed a committee to ereet the academy building, adapted for fifty scholars, on the east side of the road leading from the post-road to the old meeting-house, on land given to the town by the State. It was of one story, twelve feet

high in the clear, forty-two feet long, thirty feet wide, with two chimneys, a projection to admit a door on the southwest side, and to serve as a base for a balcony. The school began Jan. 4, 1813, with 49 scholars, at $3 per quarter of twelve weeks, and was kept six hours in winter and eight hours in summer. The male scholars took care of the fire and rang the bell ; the females swept the house. The preceptor received $500 a year. There were four vacations of one week each.

It was voted, Mareh, 1813, to build a sidewalk to the post-road. Voted, October, 1813, " That the year begin Monday after Bowdoin commencement and end Saturday before Cambridge commencement. Asa Lyman, preceptor, to receive $800." Tuition raised to 84. September, 1814, tuition reduced to $3. Vacation of two weeks at end of year, the others one week each. Voted, March 11, 1815, " To admit scholars under ten when there is room." July 7, 1820, Josiah Calef was chosen librarian, and Phineas Pratt engaged as preceptor at $700 a year. 1822, January 5, Thomas G. Thornton gave ten shares of Saco Bank. 1822, January 25, the name was changed to " Thornton Academy." 1826, September, James Furbish was en- gaged as preceptor, at $500, in place of Mr. Pratt. 1827, October 27, Mr. Furbish went to Portland to teach school. 1828, September, Hezekiah Packard, preceptor, at $500; raised to 8600, January, 1830.
