Obituary James Maurice Cahill 1911-2005 North Anson - James Maurice Cahill, 93, a loving and devoted husband and father of five children, died on Monday, March 14, 2005. He was born on April 26, 1911, in Bingham, the son of Maurice and Victoria Miller Cahill. He married Altena Whittemore in Skowhegan in 1930. They made their home together in the Bingham, Moscow and Concord area until 1995 when they moved to North Anson to be nearer their son. During the 52 years he lived in Moscow, he was very active in town affairs, serving two years as Moscow selectman, three years as constable, 25 years on the school board, trustee of Moscow's Water District and a past Planning Board member.

Hello Everyone , I'm new to this list and I do hope to find some information on my great grandmother , ANNIE A. LITTLEFIELD , she was born in WELLS and died 1877 in WELLS so I think at this point you might say , so why are you looking for information here ? The answer is that for about 25 years I have been looking for info in WELLS and found almost nothing so I feel that I should try the surrounding areas . I do have the info from the censis for 1860 ,1870 ,1800 and for 1880 in KITTERY where ANNIE's parent's and sibling's went just before they moved to CT in some part of 1880 , they had ANNIE's son FRANK H. SMITH with them GEORGE W. and CAROLINE LITTLEFIELD. The LITTLEFIELD's are the first settlers of WELLS and thats one of the reasons why I did my searching there . Also her son who is my grandfather FRANK HENERY SMITH was born in WELLS Oct 1, 1877 . ANNIE married FRED A SMITH somewhere between 1875 and 1877 because she was born 1860 and died 1877 and was 17 years of age at her death . After her death FRED A. SMITH moved to NH. What I want most is proof of their marriage , something about her death , such as where she is buried , an obit . anything . I do know that she was buried with the name SMITH because somehow , my grandfather had the plack from her coffin . Any help would be so much appreciated . Thank you . Minnie Ann
