HIGHWAYS


John Wilson Lang, in his articles to the Maine Farmer in 1870, in reference to the roads of the town of Brooks, says that the first road opened across the town was the old County Road leading from Rob- erts' Hill, south through the village, over Doble, Cilley, and Oak Hills. It was first opened by Joseph Roberts, Jr., as a bridle path, by compass, heading over to "The Beach," as Belfast Village or set- tlement was then called. It was afterwards gradually improved into a road connecting the proprietors "Great Farm" and Jackson with the seaboard. It is characterized not only as the oldest but as the most hilly road in town.


The second road in town was built from Knox by the Sawyer Mill site across the "hoop pole landing" across the long hill and formed a junction with the Jackson and Belfast road near where the Page farm buildings formerly or now stand. This gave the Thorndike and Knox settlers the advantage of a nearer cut to Belfast, crooked and tortuous as it was.


The third road. This was the one opened from East Thorndike through West Jackson. down over "Sprout Hill" coming out near the former residence of Charles E. Peavey. The old remains of these last two roads may be traced here and there along the whole course where later convenience or wisdom has changed from the original lo- cation. The fourth road was opened from the village leading cast to Monroe Village or towards it. After the town was settled other roads were laid to convey travelers and settlers.


The fourth road east towards Monroe, ended at the original Rob- erts Mill Site; some distance to the right of the Shadrack Hall res- idence. The original location of the Roberts mill was about two hun- dred and fifty feet of its present location, and the road to this mill went up a very steep bank entering the present Brooks-Monroe road, across from the Hall place. These roads formed a loop, one was the continuation of the other; although the Shadrack Hall road would of course be considered originally a branch of the Brooks-Monroe road. In course of time the road around the Roberts mill was discontinued and the road which originally led past the Shadrack Hall place is now the road east; towards Monroe, now called route 139.

THE FIRST HOUSES


The first frame house in Brooks was built by Joseph Roberts, Jr., who also had the first cook stove.


The house was built on a site of the first log cabin erected by Joseph Roberts Jr., and located on the west side of the town. The sketch from memory was furnished by Clara L. Huxford, daughter of Stephen V. R. Huxford, whose wife was a daughter of Gilman Roberts who was a son of Joseph Roberts, Jr., the first settler. The water in front of the old house was a duck pond. A part of the old chimney was standing up to about 10 years ago.


Gilman Roberts had the first piano in the town of Brooks. He was born July 31, 1831; died September 28, 1880. For many years he conducted the Village Store and built the store used as a Post- office by James S. Huxford for a time.


John Wilson Lang in a series of articles in the Maine Farmer about 1872 refers to a conversation with John Fogg of Dixmont in refer- ence to the early settlement of the Town of Brooks.


The first house in Brooks Village was on the Brown Place where Dr. Rich formerly lived. Some time after 1875, Dr. Rich removed . his dwelling from the original lot and divided the house into two sections, one section to the west of its original location and at the present time occupied by Percy Grant as a residence, and the other section to the east of the original location and is the dwelling house now or formerly occupied by Harold Webb and owned by Albert Ames.


The second house in Brooks Village was the Choate place, so-called. where the widow of Ezra Manter lived, and was later the location of the residence of the late Marcellus J. Dow,. now occupied by his widow, Mrs. Abbie Dow and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert J. Hamlin.


The third house, the Huxford place, where Shadrack Hall lived for many years; now occupied by Mrs. Affie Crocket and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Emmons. The Shadrack Hall house or Huxford House, so- called, was built by Daniel Brown. It is known by the local name of Huxford House because Squire Huxford owned and lived in it for many years. He also owned and operated the mill near there known as the Lower Mill.


The fourth house. the Doble place, near where Eben Page formerly lived.

The fifth place, the Austin house. The Austin place was first set- tled by a man by the name of Foss, who sold out to Benjamin Rowe, Sr. Rowe sold out to Winslow Austin who came here from Pownal.


The sixth house, the Ashmun place, where Phineas Ashmun form- erly lived, later occupied by Dr. Collier, more recently by Albert Ames. .


Calvin and Luther Fogg, brothers, came from Wales to Belfast. and hired with a man who owned wild land on Oak Hill, and were sent there to fell trees and cut the first piece of trees felled in Brooks on what is known as the Austin Place. They afterward took up farms in Brooks.


Luther Fogg got a bear and sent it to Great Farms in Jackson where it was kept for years.


Calvin, John's father, took up a lot of land where Isaac G. Reynolds formerly lived. now occupied by Alfred Reynolds.


In the first years of their settlement, it was reported that times were very hard; people in general were very poor and they lived on fish and porridge.


Mrs. Fogg brought the first set of crockery to Brooks. This set was in great demand at weddings and merrymakings.


According to letters from Daniel Jones to John Wilson Lang, the third piece of trees cut in the town and third opening was made upon his old place on the south side of Oak Hill, and directly east of where the farm place now stands.


The first building erected in the village was the mill owned and operated by Joseph Roberts, Jr. This was a grist mill and located very near where the old grist mill is now located.


One of the carlier houses was the house built by Jothan Roberts on Main Street West, opposite the residence of Edwin C. Holbrook and below the store of Albert B. Payson. It was later occupied by John H. Gordon and later destroyed by fire.


Obede Hobbs built the house where Brazilian W. Lane formerly lived, now owned and occupied by his son, Otis W. Lane.


Seth Brown built the house that used to stand where Dr. Rich's residence formerly stood, now being the location of the dwelling of Merton Fogg. The doctor removed the residence to the west a few rods, and sold to James Jones and Benjamin Woodman. When the house was removed by Dr. Rich it was divided, a part moved west and a section east.


Brown's store, opposite the buildings now occupied by Merton Fogg. was leased to one Potter, who was supposed to have robbed and burned the place in 1836. Seth. Brown was one of the selectmen at

that time, and the town office in the building was burned so the re- cords were all destroyed as nothing was saved from the fire.


A view of an old residence, is a picture of the Hannah Hamlin house in South Brooks. The main house was constructed of brick and was the only brick dwelling house ever constructed in the town of Brooks. The walls have now fallen in, but there is a part of the old shed left. At one time there was a brick yard near this house owned by a Mr. Elwell. The building was located near the Clary and Payson build- ings in South Brooks.


THORNDIKE PLACE


A lot of land first cleared by Joseph Roberts Jr., situated on tlie left side of the road leading from Brooks Square to Jackson, known as the first road north. Joseph Roberts, Jr., exchanged this lot of land with the Proprietors for a lot of land west of the village, on which he later erected the first house built in Washington Plantation, . now the town of Brooks. After the exchange this became the prop- erty of the Israel Thorndike family. They erected a house, consid- ered to be one of the most beautiful and magnificent in Waldo County at that time. It was occupied most of the time by a son of the Sen- ior Thorndike; he entertained extensively and many were the parties who drove down from Boston in the coaches and four of that time, and remained as guests during the hunting and fishing seasons. At the time Daniel Webster visited Brooks in behalf of the proprietors, he divided his time as a guest of Phineas Ashmun and at the Thorn- dike Place. At this time Webster enjoyed the brook fishing, and a rock in one of the streams in Jackson, is known as Webster Rock, as on this rock it is alleged Webster stood and fished.

The Thorndikes also owned and occupied the Great Farm so-called in Jackson, which is now owned by Perham and Emery Amsden. One of the Thorndike daughters married Edward Libby of Belfast, Maine, the junior member of the firm of Swan, Libby and Company, grain dealers. The style of architecture both in the Thorndike Place and the Great Farm, had the lines of the Bullfinch type, but not original. At the time of the erection of the house on the Thorndike Place or soon after, there was planted at the right of the entrance door a chestnut tree, the first and only one ever in the town of Brooks. The place was for a period of time used as a summer residence by the Thorndike family. The view from the location is most beauti- ful, distant hills can be seen for miles. After a time the property came into the possession of R. G. Edwards. He sold to the late Ezra . A. Carpenter and the property is now owned by Mr. Carpenter's widow.

RELIGIOUS HISTORY


The first settlers of Brooks, especially those coming from Buckfield, Maine, were members of the Society of the First Baptist Church. Joseph Roberts, Jr .. headed the list in organizing the Society of the First Bap- tists at Buckfield in 1771. Other signers who later were to become among the first citizens of Brooks were, William Doble, William Cilley, Jona- than Roberts, John Roberts, Joseph Roberts, Sr .. Benjamin Cilley and Enoch Hall, whose descendants have been identified with the history of Brooks for over one hundred years. The first church services to be held in Brooks were held at the homes of the settlers. Later, in the local meeting house erected at South Brooks and still later in the district school house, until the first church was erected.


Opinions differ as to the actual date of the erection of the first church in Brooks. But from the information available, it appears that the Friends' Church was erected about 1822. It is the building now used by the Patrons of Husbandry as a hall. The Union or Congregational Church, erected in 1832 on a lot of land near the present A. E. Chase & Co. store, was remodeled, and removed to the present site near the bridge crossing Marsh River, in 1898. In 1897 or 1898 when the church was removed and remodeled, the workmen on the old building found a board in the belfry of the church on which was marked 1832 as the year of erection of the original church. On the board was written the names of several of the workmen who gave their time in the construc- tion of the church. Dr. Albert E. Kilgore recalls, that at the time the board was found, several of the older citizens remembered some of the names that appeared on the board. So it appears that the date of the construction of the Union now Congregational Church was about 1832. From an investigation it appears that the board was not saved, or was used in the remodeling of the building.


The first deed of record to the Brooks Meeting House Corporate was from Noah Gihan, dated March 7, 1837. And in view of the fact that, accepting the date on the board as the correct date of the constructing of the church or perhaps the beginning of the construction, it would ap- pear that the work was commenced before the deed of the lot of land was given. This would not be unreasonable because in those days with- out doubt members of the Union or Congregational Church gave mate- rial and labor, and while the church might have been so far completed as to be used for religious services it may have not been finished until 1837. Several transfers of pews are as of 1837 and after that date.


While the Friends erected the first church, the first active church organization was that of the Congregational Society. The second church to be organized in the westerly part of Hancock County ( Brooks was in Hancock County until 1827, at which date Waldo County was incorporated) was the Congregational Society in the towns of Brooks and Jackson about fifteen miles northwest from Belfast. Greenleaf. in his Religious History of Maine, published about 1820, states that several Congregational families had commenced the set- tlement in these townships and Mr. Silas Warren had labored consid-

erably among them as a missionary. The people felt desirous that Mr. Warren should take up his abode among them which he was dis- posed to do, but as it did not seem expedient to organize a church at. that time, Mr. Warren was ordained as an Evangelist without any particular charge. This took place in September, 1812. About a year after this, Mr. Warren organized a church in that place and be- .came connected with it as a member but at that time he had not been legally inducted as pastor of the church. Records disclose that in 1827, there was an active membership of forty, which, small as it ap-

pears, is greater than the present membership of the Congregational society at Brooks. Silas Warren was in the employ of the Evangel- ical Missionary Society of Boston, having been commissioned by the Society as missionary at large in 1801, and was engaged in the activ- ities of the Society until 1810, serving in the towns of Washington (now Brooks), Jackson, Lee and Dixmont, in Hancock County. Books and tracts were distributed by the Society in accordance with its ex- pressed aims. None of the operations of the Society, however, ap- pear to have been on as large a scale as those of other societies work- ing in the district.

RELIGIOUS HISTORY


The Congregational Society of Brooks has enjoyed its active and inactive periods. For several years prior to 1898, church activity among the Congregationalists was anything- but encouraging. In 1897, Ezra A. Carpenter, who had removed to the town from Jackson, be- came especially interested in the activities of the Congregational Church. Through his efforts and the co-operation of the citizens of Brooks, the church was removed and remodeled in 1898, and church

membership organized in 1902, Rev. Franklin W. Barker being prom- inent in adding new life to the activities of the church. Mr. Car- penter was one of the deacons of the church from the time of its re- organization until his death, February 19, 1926. A study of the min- isters of the Congregationalist Society is somewhat like the study of a barometer. The times when the church was fortunate enough to obtain a man as its pastor who was interested in developing the re- ligious life of the community, and not alone in the salary which he was to be paid, can be noted by the increase in activities and church- attendance.


CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS


SILAS WARREN, 1810-1812, 1825. Mr. Warren served as a field mis- sionary 1810-1812, and then became especially connected with the ac- tivities of the churches of Brooks and Jackson. Mr. Warren was es- pecially active in the civic life of Jackson, having represented the town in the Maine Legislature.

Mr. White was ordained at Brooks, November 19, 1825. The or- dination sermon was delivered by John Smith, D. D., 1766-1833, Pro- fessor at Bangor Theological Seminary. The same sermon was also delivered at the ordination of the Rev. Isaac E. Wilkins as pastor of the church at Garland, Maine. The sermon of the ordination was from Philippians, 1:27. "That ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel." The sermon is a masterpiece of that date and its logic and the wonderful thought throughout the entire sermon is very impressive. The sermon is on file in the library of the Bangor Theological Seminary.

During the period of the pastorate of the Rev. Luther Wiswall, which cov- ered a period of about seventeen years, the church activities were very strong. Church membership increased and a new religious life made itself eminent in the community. A parsonage was purchased, the residence now occupied by George B. Roberts, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. Perhaps Mr. Wiswall had served too long, diffi- culties arose. In addition to his church duties, he had been em- ployed as a teacher and at the close of his period of service, he failed of re-election and the use of the parsonage was denied to him.
