Ang. 28. George U. Russ, son of John Russ, and a mer- chant at City Point, aged 47.
1849, Jan. 20. Hon. Nathan Read, aged 89 years and 6 months. He was a native of Warren, Mass. His ancestors emigrated to America from England, about 1632. His father, Major Reuben Read, was an officer in the Revolution, during which, in 1777, at the age of nineteen, the son entered Harvard College. His parents were desirous that he should qualify himself for the ministry, and he gave attention to studies in that direction. He acquired a good knowledge of Hebrew, and gave an oration in that language at a public exhibition. He graduated in 1781, having the valedictory address and dis- tinction as a scholar. For two years, he taught school in Beverly and Salem, when he was elected a tutor in Harvard College, where he continued until 1787. He then studied medicine for a year, and afterwards opened an apothecary store in Salem. While engaged in the latter pursuits, he devoted himself more or less to the mechanic arts, which indeed held a higher place in his mind than his medical studies or merchan- dise. It is claimed that about this time (1788-89) he invented the necessary machinery to adapt Watt's steam-engine to boat and land carriages, with the avowed and special purpose of 1 Crosby's Annals.

applying it to both of those objects. He constructed models of a steamboat and locomotive, substantially upon the principles which afterwards gave Fulton and Stephenson their success. In 1795, having removed to a farm in Danvers, he was. con- cerned in an iron factory, and invented and put in operation a nail machine, since extensively used for cutting and heading nails at one operation, for which he obtained letters patent. While residing in Danvers, he twice represented the Essex District in Congress, being a member in 1801, during the severe contest for the Presidency between Jefferson and Burr. In 1802, he was appointed a special Justice of the Court of Com- mon Pleas for the county of Essex. Attracted by the glow- ing accounts, then rife in Massachusetts, of " Down East," the beauty of its scenery, the wealth of its forests, and the fertility of its soil, he came to Belfast on a tour of observation in the fall of 1805, and was so favorably impressed that he made a large investment, for those days, in land, purchasing at that time and the year following harbor lots from No. 45 to No. 48 inclusive, lying on Northport Avenue, and containing four hundred acres. In 1807, he came here with his family to reside. Two years after, he received the appointment of Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for the county of Han- cock, a position which he occupied until the jurisdiction was transferred to another tribunal. On his farm here, Judge Read spent the remainder of his days, giving most of his time to agricultural pursuits, but often engaging in mechanical in- ventions and experiments. During his whole life, these and the natural sciences were his favorite studies. He always took a lively interest in all matters of a public character, especially such as were designed to improve the moral condition, and advance the intellectual and social improvement of the people. He regarded the cause of education as involving one of his highest duties, and was instrumental in establishing Belfast Academy, an institution of which he was for forty years one of the trustees. The full strength of his intellectual powers was retained until within a few days before his death. He possessed a strong constitution and a vigorous and cultivated mind; his aims were high, and he soared above the sordid interests of the world. He never sought to make himself con- spicuous, or to give publicity to his attainments or labors, but chose rather an unobtrusive retirement. His deportment was

dignified, and he was in every respect "a gentleman of the old school." His conversation was ever interesting and instructive, and he well earned the respect and esteem of all those who knew him. In 1870, a work written by his nephew, David Read, of Burlington, Vt., entitled " Nathan Read : his Inven- tion of the Multi-tubular Boiler and Portable High-pressure Engine, and Discovery of the True Mode of applying Steam- power to Navigation and Railways : A contribution to the early history of the steamboat and locomotive engine," containing two hundred pages, with a likeness 1 and engravings, was pub- lished in New York. From this memoir the foregoing sketch has been derived.
1849, Feb. 19. In Levant, Captain Ephraim McFarland, aged 84. He came from Boothbay, about 1798, and resided here until within a short time before his death. For many years he com- manded a well-known Boston packet.
May 29. Hon. David W. Lothrop, aged 41. He was town clerk for many years, and deputy col- lector of customs from 1838 to 1841. In 1837, he was a member of the council of Governor Dunlap. At the time of his death, he held the positions of Register of Deeds and County Treasurer.
June 15. In Manchester, N. H., during a journey from Canada, Thomas Bartlett, of Belfast, aged 69. He was a housewright by trade, and came here from New Hampton, N. H., in 1802. The house on Market Street, now occupied by the widow of Judge Patterson, was built by him about 1825.

It was engraved at Philadelphia, during the attendance of Judge Read there as a representative in Congress, in 1801-2, at which time he was in the forty-second or third year of his age. The likeness is regarded as a perfect one.

1849, Ang. 3. Frye Hall, aged 61. In 1806, he came from Methuen, Mass., his native place, to Camden, where he en- gaged in trade, and remained until 1826, when he removed to Hope, and the following year to Belfast, having been chosen Register of Deeds for the new county of Waldo. This office he held until 1848, and most of the time was County Treasurer. Although always a Democrat, his faithful performance of pub- lic duties gave him the unsolicited nomination and support by the Whigs for both positions in 1840, a year when party lines were more strictly drawn than ever before. He was a prominent member of the Masonic Fraternity, and a commu- nicant of the First Congregational Church.
Oct. 15. Captain David Whittier, aged 61, son of Thomas Whittier, who died in 1815. For many years he was a successful shipmaster. In 1822, he built the brick block on Main Street now owned by Woods, Matthews & Baker, and engaged in mercantile business with his brother-in-law, Captain Joseph Smith, now rear-admiral of the United States navy, who then resided here.
Oct. 20. Captain Isaac McKeen, aged 78.
Oct. 27. In Boston, Nathaniel Wilson, of Belfast, aged 58 years and 10 months. Mr. Wilson was the son of Colonel Jonathan Wilson, and was born here, Dec. 26, 1790. He had been for nearly forty years in the service of his country. He held a lieutenant's commission in the second war of Inde- pendence with Great Britain, shortly after he became of age ; and was in several battles, both of defeat and victory, on the Canada frontier. He was highly distinguished for his admira- ble good conduct and bravery at the attack on the Stone Mill, and in the engagement on land at Plattsburg; on the former of which occasions, being his first encounter with the enemy, he displayed unusual coolness, fortitude, and presence of mind for the novelty of his situation and circumstances. During the campaign, he was long afflicted with a malignant typhus fever, which came near carrying him to a premature grave. After the war, the regiment, of which he was a highly es- teemed and growing officer, was disbanded ; and he was thrown upon the world with nothing but his honor and integrity, to make his way through it. He was soon established in a respec-

table, if not profitable, position in the custom-house at New Orleans, where it is understood he obtained the good-will and high regard of the whole community, so different in manners from those of his early home. Here he for the second time in his life was dangerously sick of the fever of that climate. Under the administration of General Jackson, between whom and Mr. Wilson there were many remarkable points of resem- blance in character, he was appointed, in 1829, to the office of purser in the navy, a position which he retained to the day of his death. He was on the East India station in the frigate "Constellation," and returned a short time before the com- mencement of the war with Mexico, when he joined the Gulf squadron in the flag-ship " Cumberland." At the close of the war, he was stationed at Portsmouth, N. H., from which post he had been recently relieved at the time of his decease. Mr. Wilson was highly distinguished both for his physical and moral courage, for his straightforwardness, for his fear- lessness and frankness, - charmingly blended with great cour- tesy and politeness, - for his discriminating ideas of propriety and duty. He was emphatically an intrepid man, a true man, and an honest one. All his duties to parents, sisters, and brothers he discharged with affectionate exactness. The hap- piness of the more intimate relations of domestic life was never his to know. If consistency and sincerity, if love of country greater than love of life, if patriotism without vanity and pre- tension, if to be a democrat without being a demagogue, if to be a lover of the people without being their flatterer, if a scrupulous regard to the interests of the service without self- ishness, if a most delicate perception of the purity with which the moneys of the State should be disbursed by its servants intrusted officially with the public treasure, - if all these, and many more qualities that might be added with truth, de- serve the admiration of our citizens, Mr. Wilson was entitled to a share of it bordering on veneration and reverence.1
Although but a brief portion of his life after attaining to manhood had been passed here, he was strongly attached to the place of his nativity. By his will, he provided that all his estate, after payment of certain legacies and annuities for life to his three sisters, one of whom is still living, should consti- tute a fund, the annual income of which should be appropri-

ated to the promotion of general education in his native town. The language of his will, in making this bequest, is as fol- lows : -
" After payment of said annuities and legacies, the remain- ing interest and income to accumulate in the hands of my trustees, until the death of all my three sisters, and the satis- faction of the legacies named : then, finally, my trustees are to convey and deliver over all said trust fund and estate, with all accumulations thereto, unto my native town of Bel- fast for ever : said conveyance and delivery, however, to be in trust for the uses following, to wit : the income of said trust fund shall be annually appropriated by the said town of Bel- fast for a course or courses of public lectures, to be delivered in said town for the benefit of all its inhabitants, or for such other means of popular instruction as shall be annually deter- mined by five persons to be selected and chosen by the inhab- itants at their annual meeting for the choice of town officers, from a list of ten persons to be annually submitted by the selectmen of the town. My object being generally to promote the canse of education and instruction in my said native town of Belfast, and to leave the management of the income of said fund to the good sense of its inhabitants, having the object of general instruction and mental improvement always in view."
The appraised value of Mr. Wilson's estate was $22,937; and the amount of the bequest, when realized by the city, will probably be about $30,000, - a sum sufficient to secure a valu- able public library.1
1849, Nov. 3. Major John Russ, aged 75, one of the many hardy, strong-willed, enterprising men, who came here to build up a home in this comparative wilderness, in the early part of the present century. Major Russ was at one time extensively in- terested in real estate in the village and in navigation. At the commencement of the war of 1812, he was the sole or principal owner of a brig just launched. She lay in the dock westerly of the railroad wharf until the close of the war, at a heavy loss, of course, to her owner. The wharf which stood near the dock belonged to him, and was known as long as it remained there as Russ's Wharf. The precise year when he removed his resi- dence and business to the locality now known as City Point is

not remembered. Prior to his removal, it was known as Clary's Point; afterwards, and for many years, as Russ's Point. He was a man of great muscular power, but never exercised it to the detriment of his fellow-men. Like most of our village origi- nals, he was a man of humor ; but his mirth was never boister- ons. His wife was the daughter of Major-general George Ulmer, one of the prominent men in this section of the country in the early part of the century. Major Russ had a large fam- ily of children, one of whom only, Francis A. Russ, is now living in this town.1
1849, Dec. 10. Captain Annas Campbell, aged 74 years. He was a native of Hawke, now Danville, N.

He was a prominent and active member 1 Crosby's Annals.

of the Methodist denomination in this place, and contributed largely by his personal effort and indomitable energy to the promotion of its prosperity and permanence. He was an up- right man, a worthy member of society. He sailed in the bark " William O. Alden," in December, 1849, for San Francisco, in the hope that a sea-voyage and change of climate might be of benefit to his health ; that hope did not "end in fruition." He returned the following year, and died three weeks after his arrival home. He was a prominent member of the Odd Fel- lows, and was buried with the ceremonies of the Order: the members of the Masonic Fraternity, of which he was also a highly esteemed and worthy brother, attended his funeral as mourners.1

After some years, he sold this farm, and removed to the Ryan farm near the upper bridge, where he built the large two-story house now standing there. In 1804, he removed to Swanville and cleared a third farm, on which lie lived till his death. He was a man of remarkable energy and industry.2
1851, Nov. 25. Charles Tilden, formerly of Marshfield, Mass., aged 82. He was born in Boston, and the descendant by five removes from Nathaniel Tilden, who emigrated to Plymouth in the ship " Ann," in 1623.
