A BEAR STORY
(H. B. Stanwood, in Bangor News.)
This is a true stroy that occurred thirty-five years ago-Octo- ber 16, 1888, and told to the writer by Fred Griffin, one of the residents of Tunk Pond, and an early settler who gave first aid and attended Mr. Havey's wounds after the encounter with the bear. About the first of October, in the year mentioned, Simon Havey and George Johnson, two of the old residents of Tunk Pond, discovered that a bear had been visiting an old orchard on the Robertson farm. It was decided to set a gun, so arranged and baited that the bear would be his own executioner. The gun was an old French pattern, some thirty seven buck shot and two ounce balls, with a large charge of powder. The sel-gun was attended regularly every morning by Mr. Havey and Mr. Johnson, and on arrival this morning they discovered that the gun had been shot-off and demolished by the heavy charge. Examining the ground they found that the bear was badly wounded, and started on his trail which led to a bunch of ever- green trees. Carefully parting the boughs they found the bear lying on his side with his head extended toward them apparently badly wounded.
The only weapon they had was an old Sharpe rifle. It was decided to shoot the bear in the eye, Mr. Havey taking careful aim, fired. The bullet; although making a bad wound did not hit exactly where intended. Mr. Havey was then a man eighty- three years old, but as spry and agile as many of the younger generations of these days. The bear came on its feet as quick as a flash, and as Mr. Havey was the first object in view, it made a mad rush.

Mr. Havey's only salvation was flight, but as the bear covered the ground much faster than Mr. Havey, the only thing to do was face him and fight. As he turned, his feet caught on a rock and Mr. Havey went down with the bear on top. The first blow with the paw opened Mr. Havey's scalp with a ragged wound about six inches one way and four the other. The bear started to chew his forearms and hands until Mr. Havey grasped the bear's tongue and held on. From the struggle and loss of blood from his own wound, the bear finally succumed.
The above happened so quickly that Mr. Havey was crawl- ing out from under the bear when Mr. Johnson arrived at the scene. Mr. Havey, although with an awful wound on his scalp and both arms badly mangled, without assistance walked a mile and had the wound dressed. Dr. B. H. Ordway of East Sulli- van was rushed to him, a distance of six miles. With all the patience and fortitude of the old generation, Mr. Havey, sat and had thirty-seven stitches taken in the scalp, and arms dressed without taking anesthetics of any kind.
THE ROBERTSON FAMILY
Aaron Robertson, the first of this family of which we have any record came to Plantation No. 7, thence on to Macerdavit, New Brunswick. There he married Roanna Cypher. They had four children born to them while living in N. B. William, Aaron Jr., David and Jane. They then came to No. 7, leaving William in N. B. bringing the other three with them. Aaron Robertson was granted 100 acres of land at No. 7, where he settled with their family on his return. They had six more children born to them at No. 7. James and Charlotte but no record of the other four children, which no doubt died young. It has been said that Aaron Robertson had ten children.
William Robertson soon came to No. 7 to join his family. He m. Elizabeth, dau. of Andrew and Elisabeth (Liswell) Havey of No. 7. Their children were: Ira, Annie and Weston Robert- son. Ira Robertson b. March 15, 1862; d. Aug. 2, 1906, N. Sul- livan. m. March 8, 1886, Katherine Mary dau, of Francis and
