Pleasant River Historical Society

The Pleasant River Historical Society is looking for copies of
pictures of the Town of Addison to compile a picture history. They
are looking for old photographs of homes, families, school classes,
veterans, an activity that you participated in or a business that was
in town.

The town consist of areas known as Indian River area, Basin area,
Eastside area, West side, Ridge area, South Addison area, Cape Split
area and Crowley Island area.

Please tell a little about the photo, label the people if you know
them and date they were taking if possible.
The Society is able to scan the pictures and return them to you if
you aren't able to get a copy made.

The best way to make a copy and the cheapest - go to a UPS Store and
have them color copied even if they are black and white. Put as many
on a sheet of paper, if a lot a 11 X 17 sheet will hold quite a few.

Anyone who has a photograph to lend, please contact Ronie Strout at
Ronie_L@..., or 207-483-4374, or Jeannette Perry at 207-483-
4374, or Cathy Fonda 207-483-4655.

This year 2006 is the 210 anniversary of the Town of Columbia, Maine.

I am putting together a History Book of Pictures of the town. I am
looking for real old pictures taken in the 1800's, early 1900's of
the churches, grange halls, schools, homes, saw mills, shingle mills,
grist mill, blacksmith shop, the Redman Hall, the Vestry, houses that
are no longer here, bridges, even the ship yard at the branch, old
barns, even some family pictures that could show what people looked
like in the early part of the town history. Pictures of students at
the different schools will use even up to 1965 for these when the
last school closed.

I would like pictures of any Columbia folks that graduated from the
local High Schools, Harrington, Columbia Falls, and Addison and from
any colleges.

Pictures of the people who were in the service of all the wars, and
any write up you have of your family member that I could use. On all
of the pictures I would like to add a sentence or two about the
picture, where it was taken, who is in it, and the year if known.

The town includes the sections of the Saco area, Epping area,
Schoodic area, Little River area, the Valley area, Turkey Hill area,
Georgetown area, Web District area and the Four Corner area (Branch
area)and Ridge area. Any and all parts of the town of Columbia will
go into this.

I am also looking for articles telling about the history of any
important events of the town, to go into another history book. A big
job but would like to get something done by late spring if only a
little bit.

I am also collecting any newspaper articles written about the town
and obits of folks from the town.  If you have a story about growing
up or visiting in Columbia, Maine, I would enjoy adding them to this
history as well.

For instance I have received some:  ancestor pictures of families,
pictures of family collections such as a Tenney chair made in
Columbia, Maine, Abijah W. Tabbutt stencil, picture of the Levi
Leighton book, picture of canning jar collection, post card pictures
of the area, people raking blueberries, picture of a picnic at
Schoodic Lake, pictures of the Ice Storm of 1998, pictures of
homesteads and animals they raised, a hand drawn map of Saco Village
in 1940, the bean factory, the train station and many other
interesting pictures.

Will take information on Columbia Falls as well as it was original
all of Columbia.

The best way to make a copy and the cheapest - go to an UPS Store and
have them color copied even if they are black and white or Staples.
Put as many on a sheet of paper, if a lot an 11 X 17 sheet will hold
quite a few.

You can send copies of photos; if you want them return please make
sure you have your return address on them: Ronie L. Strout, 267 Ridge
Road, Addison, Maine 04606.
My email Ronie_L@... has an underscore line between Ronie and
L; or call me at 207-483-4374.

Clara Pendleton Blanchard, one of the Searsport Pendletons, had six
children in the 19th century - three of them born at sea. John Battick
describes Blanchard's spouse, William H. Blanchard, as "husband, ship
captain - and midwife."

In fact, Blanchard was known for his delivery skills to the point that
other captains, if their wives were about to give birth, hoped that
Blanchard might be in port when the time came.

Amazing. .....

Subject: marriage questions

 

Hello all,

 

I have copies of the Certificates of Marriage for both of my great great grandfather's marriages from his church.

 

Michael Malloy married my gg.grandmother Mary Ellen Gahagan on Jan. 8, 1888.  Mary died and Michael remarried. The second bride was Euphemie Louise Dube and that marriage took place on Nov. 21, 1897. Both marriages took place at the Holy Rosary Church in Caribou.

 

I sent to the City of Caribou to get copies of the marriage licenses.  The city wrote back, sent a copy of the second marriage license but only sent me a photo copy of the marriage intention that was listed in some record book. They also returned the money for that document that they did not locate.

 

But I have a few questions......

 

I have a copy of a record I obtained through Family Search which confirms the marriage of Michael and Mary on Jan. 7, 1888. I also have a batch number of M520462. So doesn't that mean that someone documented this marriage somewhere?

 

Do you think the one day, Jan 7 vs Jan 8 could have made it difficult for the clerk to find the document?

 

Also, the record from Family Search has the place of the marriage as Fort Fairfield, but doesn't Caribou hold the records for Fort Fairfield?  The church was in Caribou.

 

I want the documents so I can go back another generation, hopefully to Ireland, and determine who Michael Malloy's parents were. I know Michael was married to both of these women and if I had the documents to show who he was and who his parents were it would just confirm everything for me.

 

I know....lots of questions. Hope someone can help me out with the answers.

 

Thank you,

Jackie in Connecticut

researching Esty/Estes/Estay, Malloy, Gahagan, Hale

 

 

I havent been doing much research in the last year & just thought I
would toss up a question for general discussion.

My Maine Famiy ancestry dates from the earliest years.  Is/are there
any new publications, books, gen records, Govt archives, ship records
or web sites with breakthroughs in family lines?

Allways looking to fill in some of the missing pieces!

I posted this on my website, but wanted to share with those of you who
don't frequent the site on a regular basis...

earlyMaine.org has recently acquired

"Roster and Statistical Record of Company D, of the Eleventh Regiment
Maine Infantry Volunteers, with a Sketch of Its Services in the War of the
Rebellion."(1890)

The 83 page text includes a history of the Company itself, as well as a
roster and many biographical sketches of the Company's members.

We would like to put the full text of this book online, but until that is
accomplished, I am willing to do lookups for people that you expect may be
included in the test

If you would like a lookup done, please email me at:

There will be a potluck luncheon at 11:30 A.M.  Bring whatever will
go with our famous Marafax Bake Beans and American chop suey made
the way our Columbia ancestors have done for years.
We also have a silent auction: please bring 1 or more items, it can
be old or new, highly valued or worthless, precious or funny,
homemade or strictly sentimental.

We still have a few last year Worcester mugs and trivets on sale.

Some genealogy information on the Worcester's and some photo album's
of past reunions in one area provided by yours truly. Am always
looking for more Worcester info and copies of pictures of ancestors
of Columbia, Maine. I am trying to put together a history of the
Town of Columbia and welcome all pictures of the town.

We can use some help on the auction table this year.  This
fundraiser and the dues help with the expense of the reunion. We
love to socialize, so come and meet the rest of the family.

Hi All,

Well, summer is starting to wind down.  Kids are back to school or
getting ready to go, and those research trips will be winding down
before we know it.  If you haven't been lately, there are a couple
of new things on www.earlyMaine.org that you may find of interest.

We now have a .pdf copy of the following texts available for viewing
on http://www.earlyMaine.org  Each of these files are large (about
2Meg each) so please be patient if you have a slow internet
connection.  If you have trouble accessing these files, and would
rather get them on a CD, please contact me and I will discuss that
possibility with you:



Roster and Statistical Record of Company D of the Eleventh Regiment
Maine Infantry Volunteers, With A Sketch Of Its Services in the War
Of The Rebellion.

Docket: Supreme Judicial Court, Kennebec County, March Term, 1873


The Boyd Family by Arthur S. Boyd




Also, if you haven't checked out our gravestone photo project, there
has been a tremendous amount of activity there over the past few
weeks. We now have more than 200 photos online, representing more
than 400 individual records.  A lot of photos have recently been
posted for Penobscot County, as well as some from Cumberland County.

As always, everything on earlyMaine.org is free to access.  Happy
Hunting!
