The first school in town was kept by the wife of Jessa Rob- bins in his log house in 1785 and 1786. The first man to teach was probably Ebenezer Jennison. Two terms were generally held each year of eight or ten weeks duration. School districts were established in 1790. The first school- house was built in 1791.


The first lawyer was probably Robert Mcclintock who lived here with his family in 1791. William White practiced in town three years, going to Belfast in 1812. Lithlow


25


Hunter was in practice here in 1812-13. George Kimball began law business in town March 12, 1813, and remained about two years. Daniel F. Harding commenced practice November 15, 1815, and remained many years. Other law- yers were John Bullfinch, J. S. Abbott, Augustus C. Robbins, Elijah Vose, Elisha E. Rice, Richard D. Rice, Nelson Cut- ler, (1843) ; M. F. Hanley (1894). R. I. Thompson is now the only lawyer in town


Dr. Isaac Barnard was probably the first physician, coming here about 1787 or 1788. Jonathan Sibley was the first physi- cian to establish himself here permanently. His diploma was dated January 9, 1799. Dr. Wm. Dougherty came here in 1807 and remained several years. Dr. Metcalf in 1809; followed by Dr. Brackett; Elisha Harding, 1819 to 1842; Isaac Flinter 1837 and for several years after; Dr. Henderson 1842, for two years; Dr. Thomas Gore a short time; Edward Alden began practice in 1848 and remained many years. An Indian doctor by name of Cook came here in 1805 or 1806 for a short period. Among later physicians who have practiced in town are Dr. Eben Alden, Dr. W. A. Albee, Dr. M. P. Judkins, Dr. F. E. Varney, Dr. A. P. Heald and Dr. W. H. Bennett; the last named is still in practice here and has built up a fine business. E. G. Skinner practiced medicine at East Union several years, but is now deceased. Dr. J. J. Alden has practised dentistry here many years and is yet located near the Common. H. L. Greenleaf the dentist was located at the Common several years.


August 8, 1846, the Union Brass Band of fifteen members was formed and continued in existence several years. The Union Cornet Band was formed about two years ago and have occasional meetings now.


Among the early settlers were many soldiers, viz. : Ezekiel Hagar, Abijah Hawes, Matthias Hawes, Moses

Hawes, Ichabod Maddocks, Titus Metcalf, Jason Ware, David Gillmor and Reuben Hills, all Revolutionary men. Others who served from Union were: Joel Adams, Nathan Barnard, Amos Barrett, Phinehas Butler, Samuel Daggett, John Gleason, Richard Grinnell, Royal Grinnell, Amariah Mero, Levi Morse, Bela Robbins, Ebenezer Robbins, Josiah Robbins, Philip Robbins, George Wellington, Lemuel Went- worth. Sept. 1, 1794, town voted to give $3 bounty and wages $10 a month to minute men. Aug. 28, 1797, $55 was granted to purchase military stores. Jan. 31, 1804, town paid $51. 33 for ammunition for use of town. A powder house was built in 1816 on hill north of the Common where it remained many years. Space will not allow us to give a complete history of the soldiers of Union in this work. The Grand Army chapter given elsewhere in this book gives a fine record covering the time since the War of the Rebellion.


Union is one of the five towns that make up the jurisdiction of the North Knox Agricultural and Horticultural Society, and geographically the centre town ; for this reason perhaps more than any other, a greater number of its annual exhibi- tions have been held in town. Since its organization, May 22, 1869, most of its fairs have been held here. It has paid to exhibitors many thousands of dollars in premiums. The membership is increasing yearly. The last annual meeting was held in December. E. H. Mero is president, and W. A. Bessey, secretary.


The Union Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Co. was chartered in 1856, and is still in active operation. The company takes no risk over $1000, and only on farm property in the town of Union.


The Union Cheese Factory began making cheese July 1, 1874. The first cheese was made by Lewis Hunt. Build- ing was put up by Lewis Robbins on a contract, and Wm.


1


27


Carkin was boss carpenter. The business was run several years and discontinued.


Union would support a corn factory, and a good concern will receive the hearty encouragement of our farmers.


An institution worthy of mention is the Union Creamery Co. E. E. Light and C. C. Counce proprietors. They have done a successful business here for two years making a high grade of creamery butter. They enjoy a good support from Union and surrounding towns. The business will be increased during 1895.

THE COMMON-RAILROAD-BUILDING OPERATIONS-SCENERY -HOTEL-ST. GEORGES RIVER PRIVILEGES-PROS- PEROUS FARMERS-FISH HATCHERY.


JNION Common, the principal village in town, is situated about fourteen miles from the city of Rockland, twenty- eight miles from Augusta, the state capital, and eight miles from tide waters of the St. Georges River at Warren.


The Georges Valley Railroad was completed in December, 1894; runs from Warren Junction, connecting with the Knox & Lincoln branch of the Maine Central R. R., to Union Common, a distance of about eight miles.


During 1894 the town has seen a healthy business in the way of building operations as follows : The Robbins Block, F. L. Whitten, house; Ethel Cummings, house; N. E. Cum- mings, house; E. Burkett & Co., store; Willis Luce, house ; Capt. Harding, barn; Warren Mink, house; Smith's grain elevator ; Alden's warehouse ; J. D. Thurston, stable ; engine shed; fish hatchery. Miss Cora Luce has rebuilt her resi- dence, Harry E. Messer has rebuilt his house and enlarged his stable; the Union Creamery Co. have made improve- ments and built a large ice house ; J. M. Robbins has made over old store into a good tenement. Congregational church has been repaired and many improvements made. Various other buildings about town have also received repairs. In truth, 1894 has been a prosperous year for the town of Union.

The outlook for the town is excellent. Every inducement will be extended manufacturers to locate here. Union Board of Trade, organized in December, 1894, propose to do their duty in the way of advertising the town, and good results must follow their labors. C. C. Counce is president, and B. Burton, secretary.


Union as a summer resort must become more famous as the town becomes better known. We are proud of her beau- tiful scenery, excellent roads, mountain views, groves and valleys, numerous ponds and the picturesque St. Georges River. There is at this writing but one hotel in town, the Burton House, B. Burton, proprietor. This famous hotel has been owned by the present landlord since 1875. The house contains 22 rooms and is delightfully located, overlooking the Common.


The water privileges on the St. Georges River from Senne- bec to Seven Tree ponds are utilized at present by F. II. Lenfest, stave and heading mill, E. B. Smith, grist mill, and Barker's saw mill, all located at what is known as Hill's Mills. Near the Common may be found Bessey's flour and grist mill, and Wingate, Simmons & Co.'s wood-working shops. The natural reservoirs of the foregoing privileges have an area of more than 1500 acres, none of which are used exclusively as reservoirs. If ponds were flowed this power would be quadrupled.


Union ranks among the leading towns as an agricultural section. Our farmers are for the most part well to do, as large barns, comfortable homes, fine orchards and thrifty fields stand ready to testify.


The fish hatchery building at East Union below the dam at the outlet of Lermond Pond was built in the fall of 1894. The building is 16x20 feet and has a capacity of 500,000 eggs. The water is taken into the building from the bottom of the


t


1


1


30


dam through a 5-inch pipe. The bulkhead, which first re- ceives the water, is a trough 18x18 inches and 15 feet in length. From this the water supply of each of the ten hatch- ing troughs is taken. These troughs are each one foot deep by one foot in width and ten feet long. The average fall of water here is eight feet which will insure a plentiful supply the entire season. It is proposed not only to hatch trout and salmon eggs, which are procured in the fall, but to utilize the building in hatching white perch to stock all county waters, as white perch are a most delicious pan fish and thrive in almost any waters inhabited by native fish and interfere with none. This restocking of our ponds has passed the experimental stage and its importance has begun to be appar- ent to the majority of our citizens. By giving this proper attention it will become one of the potent factors in attracting summer visitors within our borders. The energetic president of the Knox County Fish and Game Association, J. M. Blackington, Rockland, has made a thorough inspection of the hatchery and the streams running into the lake and expressed himself satisfied with the work.

CHAPTER VII.


SOUTH UNION-CRAWFORD'S RIVER-WATER PRIVILEGES- MANUFACTURES-THURSTON BROS.


HE beautiful village of South Union is located about one mile from Union Common on an eminence overlooking Seven Tree Pond. Is on the Georges Valley Railroad. Crawford's River runs through the village. Especial atten- tion is called to this water privilege as being one of the best in Maine. The course of Crawford's river is westward from Crawford's to Seven Tree Pond, a distance of about 152 rods, while the declivity or fall is about 74 feet. The eight lakes and ponds which find their outlet here cover an area of about 2500 acres. One excellent feature about this river is that freshets are unknown, while in winter the stream is free from anchor ice. Power is thus obtained all the year. The water is clear and exceedingly soft, and therefore particu- larly good for dyeing purposes, which fact would make it very desirable for a woolen manufacturer. The lay of the land is fine and improvements can be made , very cheaply. Thurston Bros.' new dam was built here in 1891 and has a fall of 14 feet. The owners of these privileges are ready to offer superior inducements to manufacturers and invite the closest investigation.


At present there is now located on Crawford's river the following : Thurston Bros., manufacturers of cloth covered


32


burial cases and cabinet work; they occupy three build- ings beside a dry kiln and employ a dozen or more men. Commenced business in 1875. G. H. Jones, machine shop, S. W. Jones, iron foundry; South Union Saw Mill Co .; and Brown Bros., manufacturers of clothing, who have been established about nine years and employ in good seasons as many as 150 hands. A large new store was built at South Union in 1894 by E. Burkett & Co., and A. K. McFarland erected a blacksmith shop near Jones' iron foundry. The railroad station is but a short distance away and crosses Crawford's river near Thurston Bros.' new dam.


Our illustrations, taken from photographs, give a very good idea of the property along the river, which consists of several fine privileges, in addition to beautiful surroundings. There is a post-office at South Union, telephone office at Thurston Bros.' and a branch office of the American Express Co. South Union is the home of S. W. Jones, chairman of our present board of County Commissioners.


CHAPTER VIII.


NEWSPAPERS -THURSTON BROS .- S. W. JONES- WINGATE, SIMMONS & CO .- BROWN BROS. - DR. A. THOMPSON.


HE first newspaper in town of which we have any record was "The Union Herald" which appeared in the spring of 1878. The Herald was a four page sheet, five columns to the page. Geo. E. Richardson, editor and proprietor. The publication was discontinued after a few months, the venture probably not paying. Early in 1888 "The Union Farmer" appeared. This was a 16 page, 48 column, monthly magazine. It proved a paying property from the start. Was moved to Rockland and the name changed to The Maine Home Journal. The first number of The Union Weekly Times appeared May 6, 1893. It contained eight pages, forty-eight columns. At the end of its first year it was en- larged to fifty-six columns. January 1, 1894 it absorbed The Maine Home Journal. The Union Times circulates largely throughout Knox, Lincoln and Waldo counties. Subscrip- tion price $1 a year. George W. Fish, editor and founder.


We present in this volume three illustrations of the water privileges on Crawford river. Thurston Bros.' privilege is undoubtedly the most desirable. This enterprising firm commenced business at South Union in 1875-twenty years ago. From a small beginning they have built up a large trade among the funeral directors of New England. They


5


£


34


employ only first-class mechanics and manufacture a com- plete line of cloth covered burial cases unsurpassed by any concern in the country. They also carry a fine line of robes, linings and hardware. They are located on the line of the Georges Valley Railroad and can ship orders promptly by freight or express. Their works are connected via Rockland with Western Union and Commercial Union Telegraph. Also have a long distance telephone in their office at the factory.


The firm of Wingate, Simmons & Co., manufacturers of fine carriages, have been in business here nearly forty years. They make only first-class vehicles and have a national reputation. The firm consists of Mr. Ziba Simmons, general manager, and Mr. W. M. Robbins. They employ from 25 to 35 men; many of whom have been with them over thirty years. The firm ships carriages all over New England as well as to many western states. Mr. Ziba Simmons, the manager has sold carriages and sleighs throughout his territory for thirty-nine years, and no commercial traveller is better known or more popular. In addition to the company plant shown in our illustration, they own a fine water privilege and operate a complete wood-working shop, situated on the St. Georges river, but a short distance from their other buildings.


The oldest man in business at South Union is G. H. Jones, who with Amos Drake opened a machine shop and iron foundry. In 1872 the firm manufactured the Cole mowing machine. At one period made castings and iron work for stave machinery. Since 1872 the iron foundry has been owned and operated by Mr. S. Warren Jones, who has built up a large business. He makes school-house seat castings, door rollers and hangers and in fact, light iron castings of every description. Mr. Jones is also chairman of the


WINGATE, SIMMONS & CO., CARRIAGE WORKS.

Board of County Commissioners, it being his second term in that capacity.


Brown Brothers, manufacturers of clothing, have been established as such at South Union about nine years. They have a large building, 50x72 feet, two stories and basement ; employ from 100 to 150 hands and have built up a large business.


Among the many from Union who have achieved success in other fields, Dr. Augustin Thompson of Lowell, Mass., deserves mention in these pages. He is known all over the country as the discoverer of "Moxie Nerve Food," "Moxie Catarrh Cure," and "The New England Cure for Alcoholism."


Born in Union, Maine, Nov. 25, 1835, at an early age he moved to Rockland, and there lived until the breaking out of the war. Enlisting in the army as private, the same push and courage distinguished him that has marked his subse- quent career. Promotion came rapidly to him, twice on the field being recommended for promotion by General Banks. He was mustered out of the service with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. After the war he practiced medicine in Lowell, Mass., about twenty years, and was eminently successful in his large practice. He is well informed, has traveled extensively and always with his eyes open, a man of ideas with the courage to put them in practice, a miniature steam engine in energy and vital force, and one who would succeed in making himself felt in any enterprise in which he might embark.


It is safe to say no article or compound, whether known as a medicine, food, or by any other name, has made the gigantic strides into popularity, and in such an incredibly short space of time, as has the Moxie Nerve Food. The recipe for its compounding had been in the possession of


36


Dr. Augustin Thompson many years, had been carefully tested by him in his private practice, but not until its efficacy for the cure or prevention of certain diseases had been thoroughly proven to him, did he secure special accommoda- tions for its manufacture. At this time even the doctor, sanguine in temperament though he is, scarce dreamed the phenomenal success so soon to be achieved by it. A com- pany was formed with the doctor at its head, and the manufacture was commenced. Soon, however, the demand increased, its use becoming more and more general as its properties became better known. Branch factories have been established in different parts of the country, until now there exists scarce a city from Halifax to San Francisco where "Moxie" is unknown or has not been used.


The Moxie is claimed to be not a stimulant but a food, a nerve food, artificially digested and made ready for absorp- tion before being taken into the system, and to this pre-diges- tion is due Moxie's success where other nerve foods have failed. This method of artificial digestion is a secret known only to the doctor, and one which skilled lawyers in court examinations have been unable to make him divulge. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the success of this company prompted spurious imitations and counter- feits of the genuine Nerve Food, but the doctor has pursued them with so much vigor that of late they have given him a wide berth. The doctor in himself embodies the two things necessary for success-a sound mind in a healthy body. This Company is destined to be one of the massive corporations of the country. Moxie is already a household word in two hemispheres.

COOPER POST GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC-SOLDIERS AND SAILORS-THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.


OOPER Post, No. 124, Department of Maine, G. A. R., was mustered in Oct. 15, 1884, with 22 charter members. The name was adopted in honor of West. W. Cooper, who at the age of 19 entered the service of his country, from Union, in Co. "H," 4th Maine Volunteer Infantry, May 8th, 1861, and who was first one from Union, killed in battle, at the battle of Bull Run, Va., July 21st, 1861.


We have the grandest organization the world ever knew, from the fact that the late Union army was always broad enough to include all, no matter what might be their difference of opinion as to men and measures. So the Grand Army of today is broad enough to welcome to its ranks every veteran whose heart still beats responsive to the music of the Union. This noble association fetters the conscience of no member; it gives the largest liberty to all. Nor has it any purpose that it is unwill- ing to reveal to the world.


The object of this association is to render every assistance necessary to the living comrades and the families of those de- ceased, and to educate the young mind that the love of home and country exemplified by the flag is the hope of the nation,
