Many THANKS to all of the folks who responded to my request in late October for information about poorhouses in Maine. You sent in LOTS of information which has now been posted to The POORHOUSE STORY website (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses)at http://www.poorhousestory.com So I would like to invite you to return to the site where you can now find the following: --- Notes from Readers: about poorhouses in Boothbay [Lincoln County] and Presque Isle [Aroostook County] --- Sylvia Sebelist's wonderful photo scrapbook essay about Annual Town Meeting Records regarding the poor farm in Waterford [Oxford County] --- Jean F. Hankins' previously unpublished article -- "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse": The Otisfield Town Farm, 1865 - 1924. [CUMBERLAND County] This article gives perspective on historic poorhouse trends throughout the state, and it will be of interest to residents of other counties as well. --- Clayton Spencer's e-mail comments which (after we twisted his arm! <grin>)he allowed us to present as another article which we have titled: Historical Survey of Methods of Poor Relief in Maine. (This article has reference to the town of Machias in WASHINGTON County.) He explains more about the use of Annual Town Meeting Reports when doing poorhouse research. If you have been to our site recently, you will probably have to click REFRESH on your browser to see the new material. If you are new to the site, DIRECTIONS: at the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on OTHER STATES, then click on MAINE on the table of states. Note: It appears that Maine did not have a system of COUNTY Poorhouses, but instead had many (Jean has told me that she found more than 30!) TOWN poor farms. We would welcome any further information you wish to share. Hope you enjoy the site! Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
Main Surnames: DILLON, BRUCE ANNIVERSARY OF HALIFAX DISASTER (The Canadian Press) Halifax, Dec. 6 -- Canada's greatest disaster - the Halifax explosion - occurred twenty-four years ago to-day, leaving 1,600 dead, thousands injured and damage amounting to $35,000,000. Halifax was then, as it is now, one of the world's most important wartime ports. Activity in the city was just commencing on Saturday morning, Dec. 6, 1917, when the Belgian relief ship Imo and the French munitions freighter Mont Blanc collided in the narrows of the harbor. The Mont Blanc's deckload of benzol burst into flame as the ships parted, and a few minutes later 3,000 tons of explosives in her holds blew up. Three thousand buildings were smashed as the tremendous concussion of the explosion struck the north end of the city, leaving it a shambles. Dazed survivors, many of them badly hurt, searched ruins for their families. Twelve hundred bodies, were located, and 400 are still listed as missing. The great explosion is still fresh in the minds of many Halifax citizens, for many still bear the scars of that Saturday twenty-four years ago, but the city holds no special observance of the day.

Y., April 15 -- To shivering New Yorkers, awaiting the delayed advent of warm weather, came to-day this chilling news - in 1816 there wasn't any summer! A scrapbook diary kept by the grandmother of an Elmer Dillon of Buffalo, reveals chronologically a summerless 1816 when there was snow in March, April, June and October. There was frost in the other months. FROM ALDERSHOT. G-18122 Pte. L. Bruce, "C" Coy. Car. York Regt. Aldershot March 10, 1940. To Editor of The Daily Gleaner, Fredericton, N. B., Canada Sir: -- I am a private from the district of Nasonworth, N. B., near Fredericton and I am now in training with the Carleton and York Regiment in England. On an impulse I decided to try and give some idea of what we think of our Mother Country. I wish very much to have this or extracts of this article published, but of course this is for your judgment. The English scenery is very beautiful and I was impressed by the particular care that had been taken on the houses and fences which are nearly all built of brick or stone. The streets themselves are narrower than ours and accordingly the cars are smaller and the English motorists drive on the left-hand side of the roads thus the cars have all right-hand drive. London has been the main center of sight-seeing with most of the soldiers, with a few who have been given leave to more distant points, for many of our boys have relatives in Scotland and Ireland, as well as England. At first it was almost impossible to get around after darkness had fallen for "the blackout" which is strictly enforced here, both by military and civil law was more confusing to us than the forests of Canada, but as we grew more accustomed to our surroundings, we became more familiar with the place. My leave was given me for Liverpool where I was given an address and asked to go by a friend back home, whose relatives are living there. On my arrival I was warmly welcomed and shown many sights of interest. Among these were the Liverpool and Gladstone Docks which extend for miles up the mouth of the River Mersey. I was then taken thorough the Mersey Tunnel which is a wonderful feat of engineering and extends for two miles under and across the river. ENGLAND They tell us this is England And well perhaps they may, For in what other country Could freedom hold such sway? With all its fame and glory To all the world is known, And told that old, old story Of England and her throne. Where men have bravely struggled And sacrificed their lives To keep her name and honor, And praise it ot the skies; >From Knights in shining armour To soldiers of our time, Have fought and died for England And liberty sublime; The fortress of our Empire, She stands for truth and right. Would you dare to hesitate To help us win the fight? Rise up, ye Allied nations, Take heed to England's call, To fight in desperation Lest our Dominion fall. To thee in salutatoin, We give our country's pride, The dearest of our nation, To fight by England's side May victory then be handed To those who follow Him, With arms once more disbanded, And nations all are kin.

Main Surnames: MASSIE, BURCHILL; Also: PARKIN, CLARKE, WRY. (The only date I can find on this clipping is on the reverse side - "y 17, 1937." This seems to have come from the Saint John, NB newspaper, and was folded so that it would fit in a small envelope. There is a picture of Colonel Massie which I have scanned and will send to anyone who requests it.) PASSING BRINGS MANY REGRETS Lt. Col. A. E. Massie Dies Suddenly at East Riverside. With profound sorrow, friends throught the Maritime Provinces will learn of the death of Lieut. Col. A. E. Massie which occurred at his home at East Riverside shortly before last midnight. He had been in poor health for some months but the seriousness of his condition was not generally realized. Born in Scotland, he came to New Brunswick with his parents as a lad of 11 years and had been identified with many different phases of life in this province, besides serving overseas during the Great War. In every phase of community life which he touched as skilled mechanic, commercial traveler, leading business man, a member of the City Council and the Board of Trade and in his membership in St. Andrew's Society he displayed an ability and geniality coupled with the sterling qualities of his Scottish heritage that made him an outstanding figure, enjoying the esteem and high regard of all with whom he came in contact. He was born in Aberdeen on Oct. 14, 1868, a son of the late William and Annie (Soutter) Massie and when the family came to New Brunswick they took up residence in Fredericton. There he received his early education. He graduated from the Fredericton High School with honors and he delighted to recall his association with his famous teacher, the late Dr. George R. Parkin. He made his residence in Saint John and vicinity in 1910. His first business venture was in watch repairing and in that skilled craft he received training in matters mechanical which stood him in good stead when he launched out into wider business endeavors. From watch repairing he stepped out into a field in which he was most eminently successful, that of commercial traveler. He represented Ames Holden Co., Montreal; James McCready Co., Ltd., Montreal, and Merchants Rubber Co., Kitchener, Ont. Eastern Canada and Newfoundland were embraced in the territory he covered and during those years "on the road" he obtained a knowledge of people and conditions through the extended area that were invaluable in later activity. He was advanced in the employ of the Dominion Rubber Company (Maritime) Limited through all the various stages from traveler to that of head of the firm's organization for the Maritimes and Newfoundland. When the firm underwent reorganization, Colonel Massie enjoyed a short period of retirement only to return again to full business activity as a member of the firm of The Jones Electric Supply Co., Ltd., King Street. Enters Politics He first offered as candidate for the City Council in 1934 and was elected at that time. He served with zeal as commissioner of harbor, ferries, public lands and publicity, until the recent election returned the full slate of the Civic Improvement League nominations and the old commission system went down to defeat. Colonel Massie served as a vice-president and as a member of the council of the Board of Trade, being chairman of the entertainment committee. He was among the most enthusiastic members of St. Andrew's Society and had served as president of that organization. Until last year, he held the honored office of "bard," and his exceptional literary gifts were displayed in the writing of the rhymed greeting sent by the Saint John Organizations to sister societies on St. Andrew's Day. He had been a noted singer as a young man. He had served for 30 years in the militia and enlisted shortly after the outbreak of the Great War and went overseas as lieutenant-colonel commanding the 2nd Canadian Divisional Train and won the D. S. O. in active service, being three times mentioned in despatches. He returned to Canada at the end of the war and was for a time general sales manager with the Dominion Rubber Company footwear division in Montreal office before taking up the Maritime appointment under that firm. For a considerable period, Colonel Massie was connected with the Saint John Tourist Association and in 1932 he was appointed director of publicity. When publicity was added to the activities of his department as city commissioner, he continued his enterprising efforts to bring Saint John's attractions before the public and make the city a centre of tourist traffic. The air port was also under his supervision and he was untiring in his endeavors to have the airport facilities keep pace with modern ideals. Colonel Massie had membership in the Riverside Golf and Country Club and in St. Andrew's Curling Club and was a member of the Masonic order. Besides his wife, who was formerly Miss Ada Burchill of Fredericton, he is survived by two sons, Dr. R. A. Massie, Sawyerville, Quebec, and Donald A. at home; two brothers, Stephen of Boston and George, a barrister of Edmonton, Alta.; three sisters, Mrs. E. C. Dyer, South Portland, Me.; Mrs. William C. Clarke, Duke Street, Saint John, and Mrs. F. C. Wry, 127 Wright Street, Saint John.
Main Surnames: LAWTON, WILLIAMSON, GOODERICH, JONES, MILLER, HASTINGS, RUDDOCK, KOOL, CARR, FISHER, GLASIER, (The first two items are from the same clipping as the Colonel A. E. Massie obituary apparently from the Saint John area and dated 1937.) SPEAKS ON LAW K. P. Lawton, B.A., B.C.L., addressed the Men's Association of Exmouth Street United Church on the subject "Sources of Law," at the association's regular meeting last evening. The speaker explained something of the scope of the provincial as against the federal laws and some of the duties of the various courts. James Williamson, vice-president, was in the chair and at the close of the meeting a vote of thanks, moved by Robert Gooderich and seconded by H. W. Jones was tendered to the speaker. A committee consisting of P. L. Miller, F. M. Hastings and Roy Ruddock was in charge of the refreshments served in the social hour at the close of the evening and shuffle board was enjoyed. There was a good attendance. SHOWS THE WAY First woman to study at the local navigation school is Miss Molly Kool of Alma, N. B., who is working for her coasting mate's certificate. Miss Kool is a familiar figure on the Saint John waterfront, holding down the position of first mate on the 64-ton gas schooner Jean K., which plies between here and Alma. Paul Kool, her father, is the skipper of the "coaster." (The next two items are the captions under pictures. I have scanned the pictures and will send them to anyone requesting them. There is no date on either clipping. The article on the reverse of the Isabel Carr picture is dated "Ottawa, Aug. 11" and mentions a government Order-in- Council of April 1926 being repealed by the present government. The reverse side of the Budd Fisher picture is about the provincial budgets of 1937, 1938, and 1939.) ISABEL CARR The 17-year-old girl, of Geary, Sunbury Couty, who is charged with the murder of her aged employer, Mrs. Charles N. Clark, of this city. WILLIAM C (BUDD) FISHER, Fredericton, N. B., fireman in the Merchant Navy who lost his life as the result of enemy action in Carribean waters, a son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Fisher, 658 Union street. (Hand written at the top of the clipping - 1939.) Blazing Barn In Midst of Ice-Run "Fire! Fire!" was the shout that was rendered on the Fredericton-Devon Highway bridge yesterday afternoon at the height of the ice run. There floating down river was a barn, ablaze in all its glory, giving color to the huge white cakes of ice, which surrounded the blazing barn which a few hours before had been standing on one of the islands, full of hay. As the floating fire drifted down river, it was soon lost to view as it was first enveloped in a dark cloud of smoke and then graciously vanished from sight among the floating cakes. >From the People A PIONEER To the Editor of The Gleaner Dear Sir, -- In regard to your notice of recent issue of the passing of the Glasiers from the St. John River, I might say that Raymond's History of the River St. John has some points interesting from a historical view. In 1764, in Montreal, officers of the 44th and other regiments, joined the St. John's River Society and chose Capt. Beamsley Glasier as their agent. Having obtained three years' leave of absence from his regiment, he set sail for Halifax, where he was received by the Governor, who called his council together, to consider what assistance they could give him. He then went to St. John, and took a boat up the river. Of the country he says: "The intervale lands on the St. John are wonderful - not a stone, and black mold six feet deep. No underwood; large, tall trees, all hardwood; you may drive a coach though the trees; the whole country abounds with game, and the river abounds with all sorts of small fry as trout, salmon, bass, white-fish and sturgeon." The Governor and Council consented to 20,000 acres of timber land being set aside, and a mill erected for the Society. Beamsley Glasier chose "Nashwaak Creek," and a townsite was surveyed. Next year another town was proposed, and Glasier proposed St. Anne's Point, which is the finest spot on the river for our purpose." Of his work for the settlers a contemporary said "Capt. Glasier has done everything that was possible for any man to do, and more than any one else in his situation would have done to serve the Society." His descendants, Senator John and Stephen Glasier, were the first lumbermen to bring a drive over Grand Falls. At that time they employed six hundred men. I might add that Grant No. 1 in the Crown Land Office here was made out to Beamsley Glasier. He was also the first member to go from the new County of Sunbury to the Parliament at Halifax. Respectfully, A DESCENDANT Fredericton, March 21st, 1918

A gentleman in Switzerland sent me a message about the organization initials in yesterday's Thistle Mission Band submission. I did a bad thing and let my in-box get too full and lost the letter. Will you please re-send it. I would like to add it to my file of info on the Thistle Mission Band. I promise to save it to the file immediately so I won't lose it again. Several other people sent messages about the Thistle Mission Band and I intended to respond to each of them, but unfortunately they have gone off somewhere into cyber space. Thank you all for your kind words. I appreciate every note. Alta
I am the person who has been posting the Thistle Mission Band Newspaper Clippings. I have answered every person who has written to me about the clippings - this is the first time I have noticed one posted to the list, so this is the first time I am answering to the list - all three that I submit the clippings to. Sorry, if I have just been unobservant. I purchased a notebook (standard schoolboy composition book) at an antique store in Belfast, Maine in the summer of 1999. It had been used for the secretary's minutes for the Thistle Mission Band. From the clippings, and from clues sent to me by various people, I believe the Thistle Mission Band was a church group (Ladies' Aid or some such) from Marysville, New Brunswick. Marysville, New Maryland, Devon, and the other communities in the clippings are all near Fredericton, New Brunswick. There were only a few pages of minutes left in the notebook. The only year mentioned was 1897. The rest of the pages had been used as a scrap book with the minutes covered with obituaries and wedding announcements, etc. There were also many clippings loose inside the book. Cleadie Barnett has put the messages on a web page. <http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~cannbfam/tmb/Thistle1.html>. He has told me that he intends to have an index also when I have finished the clippings, as well as the few pictures that were in the clippings. There are only a few more submissions to go. Again, I'm sorry for being unobservant and not posting info to the group. Alta

I very much need to locate | information off of a Marriage Certificate from October 12, 1834. | | The groom, Calvin Kidder, alias, Joseph Calvin Kidder, had grown up in St. | Stephen, NB, but had moved to Calais, ME, soon after he turned 30. | | He married Mary J. Wilkins of Baskehagan, Maine. Because I have been | doing this Kidder research for over 7 years, I know that back in the 1800's | that was a village. I do not know if it still exists, or whether it is a | village which is now inside another town. | | My question is: If I wanted to retrieve the information off of Calvin and | Mary's Marriage Certificate, would I write a letter to Calais, ME, where he | lived, or to Baskehagan, Maine, where she lived, or is there a central | source of this information? | | After 7 years of research, I cannot come up with the name or family origin | of Calvin Kidder's mother. This would also be his father, Calvin | Kidder's wife. All I know is that Calvin Kidder (1765-1799) moved up to | northern Maine around 1785, but moved over to St. Stephen, NB, at some | point. Just last week I found a very small mention of this Calvin | Kidder's marriage in 1798 in St. Stephen, NB. There was no mention of the | wife's name. | | In January 1799, they had a baby born to them. His birth name was Joseph | Calvin Kidder. In March 1799, the father, Calvin Kidder, was killed in a | mailboat accident on the St. Croix River. I can find no reference at | all - to his widow. | | The Marriage Certificate I am looking for is for the son, "Calvin" Kidder | (1799-1891). (In my research, I call them "the two Calvin's." | They started many generations of Kidders in Washington County, ME. (1800 | to the present) Calvin and Mary Kidder had over 20 grandchildren, from | their three oldest sons. | | And, I continue to hope and pray that one of the descendants of these 20 | grandchildren would consider corresponding with me. | | Thank you for your time, | | Betty | | (near Boston, MA) | | | |
