In 1910 Census, Thomas is listed with his mother, Wilhelmina (Her name is given as Wilamena) Cochrane in Winthrop, Mass. His step-dad, Archie Cochrane, is a soldier at Fort Banks. It says Thomas's father was b. US (but Joseph Martin was actually b. in Canada). Also, the surname of Thomas and his sister, Grace, is Martin, not Cochrane.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[NI00024] I could not find Wilhelmina and her children in the 1900 Census despite checking spelling variations, even looking at the entire Census for So. Portland! Joseph is listed in the 1900 Directory as boarding with his sister Harriet and her husband, Sumner P. Loveitt, but is not in the 1900 Census anywhere, as far as I could determine!

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The 1910 Census entry for Wilhelmina is as follows:

COCHRANE, Wilamenaage 37, head, second marriage; m. 3ys; 3ch/3 lvg; b. Me; par b. (looks like) Que, Irish????

Comments on 1910 Census entry: Wilhelmina's given name incorrectly spelled as Wilamena. She had actually had 4 children by this time, not 3. First dau., Elizabeth Martin, was b. 1893 and d. 1897. The entry of her parents is difficult to read, but looks like "Que, Irish", which is way off the mark. The father of Thomas and Grace, Joseph Martin, was born at Gaspe, Canada, not the US. Also, Thomas and Grace's surname is Martin, not Cochrane.
Archie Cochrane is in a separate census entry, a soldier at Fort Banks in Winthrop, Mass.

Plaque on the wall of St. Margaret's Church, Horsmonden, Kent:

" To the Glory of God and in memory of Simon Willard of Horsmonden who in AD 1634 emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts, near which in 1635 he founded the town of Concord, - celebrated in American annals as the home of many leading thinkers and reformers, - where he lived twenty four years, and became a Major General in the Army and a Judge of the Supreme, Superior and Admiralty Courts. He was the friend of John Eliot the Indian Missionary.
Amongst his descendants were Rev. Samuel Willard, Pastor of the Old South Church, Boston, and President of Harvard University; Joseph Willard, also President of Harvard University; and Frances E. Willard, Founder of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, by whom in 1890 this tablet is placed in the church in which he was Baptized as a token of honour to Him, and love for the old homeland whence he went forth to carry the spirit of liberty and fraternity to the New World."

" To the Glory of God and in memory of Frances Elizabeth Willard born September 28th 1839, at Churchville, New York State, direct descendant of Simon Willard who went forth from this parish in 1634 and founded the city of Concord, Massachusetts in the New World. She accomplished a greater work than her ancestor as she laid the foundation of reform in her country wider and more enduring. With tireless enthusiasm she worked for the true liberty of America, and enlisted more than half a million women the world over, pledged to uphold the best interests of Home and Humanity in the strength of God. On the 18th February 1898, God called her."

The Willard Memoir [Joseph Willard], Soldiers in King Philip's War [George M. Bodge], History of Cambridge [Paige], History of Concord [Shattuck], History of Groton [Butler], New England Historical and Genealogical Register, all give interesting accounts of Major Simon Willard, one of the finest types of a Puritan, living in New England in the middle of the seventeenth century [1634-76].

Simon1 Willard was b. at Horsmonden, County Kent, England; bap. April 17, 1605. He was the son of Richard Willard by wife Margery, and brother of Margery [Willard] Davis, who married, in England, DOLAR DAMS. The family name in England is very old. It may be found in the Domesday Book.

Simon Willard m., in England, Mary, dau. of Henry and Jane [Ffielde] Sharpe, who was the mother of nine children. She was b. at Horsmonden; bap. Oct. 16, 1614; she d. at Newtowne [Cambridge]. He m. second Elizabeth Dunster, who d. in six months; m. third Mary Dunster, sister of Henry Dunster, first president of Harvard College. He mentions in his will "my sister Willard, and all her children." Mary [Dunster] Willard was living when her brother Henry's will was probated. She was the mother of eight children, by Willard, born between 1649-66. She m. second, July 14, 1680, Dea. John Noyes of Sudbury, Mass., and d. in that town, Dec., 1715.

Simon Willard was living in Cambridge [New Town] 1634. His house was on the south-east corner of what is now Winthrop and Dunster Streets. He moved to Concord in 1635.

In the summer of 1635 Rev. Peter Bulkeley, " a man of great learning, of large heart, of noble family, possessed of wealth, and distinguished as a divine, arrived in Cambridge, and to him Willard attached himself with affectionate regard." This alliance with Bulkeley shows that Willard had no disposition to follow the Hooker congregation to Hartford, and that his mind was so constructed as not to become a recipient of those somewhat mystical dogmas which became rife the following year in the Antinomian controversy.

In describing this emigration from Cambridge to Concord in 1635, Johnson in his Wonder Working Providence [second edition, p. 5] says, "The band of Concord is led by Capt. Simon Willard, being a Kentish souldier."

Again quoting from Johnson:
"Of the laborious worke Christs people have in planting this wildernesse set forth in the building of the Towne of Concord being the first inland Towne.
. . . "Upon some enquiry of the Indians who lived to the North-west of the Bay, one Captain Simon Willard being acquainted with them by way of Trade became a chief instrument in erecting this Town, the land they purchase of the Indians, and with much difficulties traveling through unknown woods and watery scrampes [swampes] they discover the fitness of the place, sometimes passing through Thickets, where their hands are forced to make way for their bodies passage, and their feet clambering over crossed Trees, which when they missed they sunk into an uncertain bottom in water, they wade up to the knees, tumbling sometimes higher, sometimes lower, wearied with this toile they at the end meet with a scorching plain; . . . lying in the open air, while the watery clouds pour down all the night season, and sometimes the driving snow disolving on their backs, they keep their wet clothes warm with a continued fire, till the renewed morning give fresh opportunity of further travel; after they have thus found out a place of abode, they burrow themselves into the earth for their first shelter." (Ibid., pp. 112-113.)

And thus was established by Rev. Peter Bulkeley and Major Simon Willard "the first inland Towne."

Johnson, an Englishman, was contemporary with these times. He was in this country, and his descriptions are from personal observations.

"A beautifully rounded little eminence, following the triangle made by the junction of Sudbury and Assabet Rivers with the woodlands, meadows, and arable land attached to it, made a tract of about four hundred acres, bounded chiefly by the two branches of the Concord River; in the second division of the lands, two hundred and twenty-eight years ago, it fell to the lot of Major Simon Willard." (Rev. Grindall Reynolds, D. D.)

The infant town of Concord probably owed more to Major Willard than to any other single person. He was its chief selectman; for eighteen years he was its clerk; for fifteen years its deputy to the General Court. From the beginning he was the military commander, and with two others made the legal tribunal before which all cases, between man and man, of small importance were tried. He was possibly the most influential man in the county. All through his later life he held the office of assistant. In Massachusetts, in the seventeenth century, an assistant was a person with high and varied duties. In the General Court he was a senator. To the Governor he was a councilor. In the administration of law he was a member of the only Supreme Judicial Court of the period. To all these honors and labors Simon Willard was called for twenty-two successive years, and just as he died received the largest vote given for any one for his twenty-third term. In 1641 to him and two others was given the whole charge of trade with the Indians. In 1655 he was promoted to the command of all the military force of Middlesex County. He settled innumerable cases of boundaries of land, and in one case that of the bounds between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

In July, 1658, the selectmen of Lancaster, feeling the need of a ruling mind, thought "meet to order a letter of invitation to be sent to Major Simon Willard to come and inhabit among us." A similar invitation in a previous year had been declined. But eight months before this last call Mr. Bulkeley had died: this may have weakened his affection for Concord. He accepted the invitation, and sold his farm. For twelve years he was the controlling mind in Lancaster. Then he moved to Groton, where his son was minister. There King Philip's War found him. At seventy, with all the fire and vigor of youth, he took command of the Middlesex soldiers. He it was who, with his troopers and friendly Indians, rescued Capt. Thomas Wheeler and Lieut. Simon Davis, in their last extremity, at Brookfield. March 14, 1676, while absent from home, his house at Groton, with sixty-five others, was burned. One month later he died in his new home at Charlestown. "He was a noble specimen of a noble race. Weighty in judgment, versatile, trusty, of kindly temper, of indomitable industry, he filled well almost every conceivable post."

Major Simon Willard d. April 0-4, 1676. His funeral was one of great pomp: it was on Thursday, the 27th of April. There was a military escort "of several hundred soldiers, consisting of three companies of foot, under the command of Captains Still, Cutler, and Holbrook; and three companies of horse, under command of Captains Brattle, Prentice, and Henchman, the last being commander of the whole." (Willard Memoir.)

Henry Willard had a large estate. At one time he occupied one of the garrison houses in Lancaster. He d. Aug. 27, 1701.

His children, some of whom were men of note, speak well for the character of Henry Willard. Josiah3 Willard, b. at Lancaster, 1693; m., 1715, Hannah Wilder.

She was b.1690, the grand-dau. of Thomas1 Wilder, b. in England, who m. at Charlestown, 1640, Anna Eames; removed to Lancaster, July 1, 1659; "a leading citizen and public officer until his death, Oct. 23, 1667." John2 Wilder m. Hannah --, was a farmer in Lancaster, and father of Hannah [Wilder] Willard.

Col. Josiah Willard was the commander of Fort Dummer [Brattleboro, Vt.]. He was one of the settlers and principal officers in Lunenburg, Mass. He died on a journey from home, Dec. 8, 1750. "He was the grandson of the renowned Major Simon Willard; and was a gentleman of superior natural powers . . . . His death is a great loss to the public, considering his usefulness in many respects, particularly on the western frontiers." The Secretary of State wrote to the son Josiah4 Willard, "I heartily join with you and your family, in the mourning for the death of your father, esteeming it a great public loss." . . . (Willard Memoirs.) His wid. Hannah [Wilder] Willard was living in 1751.

Josiah4 Willard, b. at Lunenburg, Mass., Jan. 21, 1715; bap. at Lancaster, Aug. 6, 1721; m. at Groton, Nov. 23, 1'739., Hannah Hubbard.

Mr. Willard passed many years of his life on the frontiers. He succeeded his father in command at Fort Dummer, and was made lieutenant-colonel. Afterwards he was made colonel. He was in active service in the lines in the campaign of 1755, and was stationed with his regiment at Fort Edward in the same year. His father was one of the grantees of Winchester from Massachusetts in 1733. A church was organized in 1736, and Rev. Joseph Ashley, a grad. Yale Coll.,
was ordained as minister; but the church was broken up and the town deserted of inhabitants on account of the Indian Wars.

But it was reorganized under a charter obtained by the son Col. Josiah Willard and his brothers in '753. A new boundary line had been established, placing the town in the jurisdiction of New Hampshire. Col. Willard became the most important man in the town, holding all the offices of any trust or importance. In 1771 he was chosen the first representative of the town in the New Hampshire Legislature. He d. Nov. 19, 1786; his wid. Hannah [Hubbard] Willard d. Aug. 15, 1'791.

I have had no luck finding Charles and family in the 1900 Census, despite having checked every Olsen in Maine, NH and Vt. Some were close, like Charles Olsen, fisherman, boarding in Gloucester, Mass., but in most cases the age or country of origin was off and never listed with the "correct family"

[NI00061] Renee Seiders has "Mary Lucinda MARR/MOOR/MAN"

[NI00063] 1900 Census gives dob as jan 1837; age 63;widowed and living with son Norman, near "Scott" and Mary A. Gamage.

[NI00068] According to letter from Nathalie Seiders of So. Bristol, 29 Nov 1977: " I have heard my mother say he was only 24 or 25 at the time of death, he and another fellow went to Boston to go out pogey fishing and hired hotel rooms for the night. Each had seperate [sic] rooms, they fouund her father dead in bed the next morning. He had blown out the gas light instead of turning it off when he went to bed. That left mama's mother with 3 children - mama [Laura Estelle] , Aunt Alice and Uncle Arthur and expecting another one that died a few hours after it was born."

[NI00069] According to a letter from Nathalie Seiders dated 1977, Mary Ann met and married a Fort Preble soldier (Irving Fox) and went to live in his hometown of Kezar Falls. She writes: " They had only been there a short time when he went into town for something and never returned. They never saw him again, never knew what become of him. After that she moved back here (So. Bristol) with the girls and later married Scott Gamage."

[NI00100] "By the will of his father, Clement became the owner of Richmond's Island, where he made his residence and where a number of his children were born. He then removed to his farm on the main land, just opposite to Richmond's Island, and here his first wife Elizabeth died. Tradition says of Clement Jordan that he was always looked up to by his neighbors for advice, as a counsellor in public trouble and as a healer of disease. He was nearly always chosen on the committee of safety in the troublesome times with the Indians, and with the mother country previoius to the Revolution. ... He was very zealous about attending meeting. His large family of children were always required to go, and having no conveyance, had to go afoot, the distance to church being five miles." Had a wide-spread practice as a doctor, treating diseases principally with herbs and roots collected by himself from the earth. source: The Jordan Memorial pg 180.

[NI00104] a great deal of information about Dominicus appears in the Jordan Memorial
From Folsom's History of Saco and Biddeford: " Sometime in the second Indian war, the garrison house of Mr. Jordan was violently assaulted by a large number of the enemy, when he made a brave and successful resistance. The Indians called to him, saying that'they were ten hundred in number'; to which he replied that 'he cared not if they were ten thousand'. A few years after several Indians came to Mr. Jordan's house, and were received with the familiarity common in time of peace, one of whom watching a favorable opportunity, struck a hatchet into his head, exclaiming as he inflicted the fatal blow -- 'There, Dominicus! now kill ten thousand Indian'. The family were all made prisoners, and carried to Canada. They were afterwards restored, excepting Mary Ann, (named by her French protectors Arabella,) who married a French gentleman at Trois Rivieres, on the St. Lawrence, where she was living 1761; she was probably of a very tender age when this calamity befel the family."

[NI00119] Conrad Seiders came to America with a son, Cornelius, though Renee Seiders believes they are one and the same. I do not concur at this point. Conrad was a yeoman of the German Protestant Society. Died at age 75. Grave site unknown, though perhaps at the old burial ground by the river near the original mission.


The information I have on the family of Conrad Seiders is from the research of Renee Seiders of Damariscotta. She obtained her information from the courthouse in Damariscotta and has done extensive work on the Seiders family. She is an officer and founding member of The Old Broad Bay Family History Project.

from History of Old Broad Bay and Waldoboro by Jasper J. Stahl vol I Colonial and Federal Periods Bond Wheelwright Co. Portland 1956 pg 284: "SEIDERS, Conrad 1748 Broad Bay deflected from Philadelphia by Joseph Crell under suasion of Samuel Waldo. With him from Frankfort am Main came his wife Elizabeth and six year old son Cornelius. Settled on west side of river just north of Eugley's Corner. Cornelius married Elizabeth, daughter of Charles C.G. Leissner. Apparently owned land later in this district which he was compelled to redeem of the Pemaquid heirs in 1764 for £16 2s 8d. This may have been the original family lot. The only stones left in the old Lutheran Cemetery at Meetinghouse Cove are those of two members of this family. Conrad a selectman 1779.

Letter from G.T.Ridlon Sr (author of Saco Valley Settlements and Families):
Kezar Falls, Me. Mar 2, 1905
Mr. Harry Gray
Ea. Denmark, Me
My Dear Friend - You will doubtless be surprised in receiving this letter, but you will find my reasons for writing further on. I have been visiting your home in Bridgton and for the first time found your sisters at home. Addie is, I believe, a real child of God. I am very much intrested in Sadie and persuaded her to read Gods word and to kneel with us in prayer, and she promised she would try to become a Christian.
But Sadie is peculiar and has to be dealt with in a patient, gentle manner. Your father and Sadie came home with me last Monday and made us a very pleasant visit. On Wednesday evening Sadie stood up in meeting here and requested prayer, God blessed her then and she wanted to speak again. She came home with us a happy child and we were all so full of joy that we did not retire until midnight; then Sadie went to her room and sung praise to God a long time.
While at your old house I wrote to Claude at Orono, telling him of Sadie's stand and urged him to be a whole-souled Christian. He promptly answered, writting (sic) one of the best letter I ever read, assuring me of his determination to give himself to God.
Now I am writing to the last one - Harry. My dear lad, I wish to tell you that we are all earnestly praying for you, that you, too, may go with your parents, and brother and sisters, that there may be a Christian household and a united family in Heaven. Wish you could hear Addie pray for you; and now Sadie and Claude are praying for you, Father and Mother are praying for you; I am praying that you may now seek the Lord and be Saved. Will you do so? I am your humble Friend; the true Friend of your family, and wish to have the privilege of seeing all kneel together at the family altar; the privilege of baptising you all at one time. What a blessed, God pleasing scene that would be! I cannot give you up. I am full of faith that you will be encouraged to settle this most serious matter at once and I pledge you my Christian friendship and kindly assistance if you will do as I am asking. May God bless you and make you a model Christian man. The pleasures of this world a (sic) transitory and leave the heart dissatisfied, but a hope in Jesus satisfies. Dear Sadie said she never enjoyed, in all her pleasures, what she enjoyed in a few hours since she publicly confessed Christ. Praise the Lord! I am so happy since I tried to lead Sadie to Jesus.
Come, O come and go with us. Do, O do. When can I see you at home? I will go up almost any day.
Please accept and read this in the same spirit it was written in. My prayers go with it. Amen.
Yours in Jesus
G.T. Ridlon, Sr.

Earl Bridges, homebuilder and outdoorsman, dies at 78
WINDHAM - There's no doubt that Earl Bridges was tough - he was, after all, a United States Marine. Who served at Iwo Jima.
Even his nickname, "Big Earl," conveys the impression that the 6-foot-2, 212-pound fellow was not to be messed with.
But Mr. Bridges, who was 78 when he died Monday, was an uncommonly gentle man.
"He was a very kind and loving man," his wife, June Wear-Bridges, who lives in Windham, said Monday.
She explained that Mr. Bridges, a general contractor who built houses in Portland, in Lewiston, in Dixfield, was a softie.
He loved his four cats and doted on them. He was an attentive husband who used to cook for his wife.
"He cooked the best beef stew," his wife said. "Pea soup, American chop suey, steak . . . He'd always have supper ready for me."
He enjoyed eating shrimp and was a huge fan of B&M Baked Beans.
"He made me come out and buy 48 cans of them last week," his wife said.
Mr. Bridges was born in Lubec, and still carried a lilt to his voice.
Much of the time, he wore a red baseball cap, but he was delighted to replace it with a cap from his beloved New England Patriots.
"He was a very big Patriots fan," his wife said. "He got the shirts and the hat and got everything."
Mr. Bridges enjoyed fishing and hunting, and generally was good at it.
There wre the occasional exceptions, however.
"Last year, he tried to shoot a deer through our TV room window," his wife said. "He missed it. The deer. But he got the window."
Of course, his family ribbed him for that, but Mr. Bridges was so good-natured and had such a sense of humor it didn't much seem to bother him.
He served in Iwo Jima and in Panama during World War II, but rarely talked about his experiences.
"He told me about when they landed at Iwo Jima," his wife said. "But he didn't talk too much about it. He just said how he was a kid and was scared."
His strength and sense of duty, however, overcame any fear he may have felt.
Mr. Bridges enjoyed collecting the new commemorative quarters, and always saved newspapers that came out on days of historic significance.
In the last few years especially, Mr. Bridges's faith grew substantially. He was a member of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Greater Portland.
"He insisted that we go to church every Sunday," his wife said. "He loved the people there and he just was very happy going there."
The other parishioners felt the same way about Mr. Bridges.

[NI00206] From Bridgton, Maine 1768-1968, chapter 12 - New Limington pg 337 footnote: " In the Bridgton News of Nov.30, 1894 was the following item: "The Seavey house in the Swamp District dates back to about 1789 - the first owner and occupant being Wm. Emerson, who came from Methuen, Mass. in 1772 and settled on a lot where Lyman Otis now lives. After six years, Emerson moved to the Swamp District, built an humble dwelling which, not many years later, was superseded by the present Seavey house, built and occupied by William's son, Eben Emerson. The next owner and occupant was Isaac Berry, father of Albert G. Berry, who married a daughter of Wm. Emerson. A house of similar character was built near to the Seavey house, the builder of which was presumably Wm. Emerson, son of Wm. Sr. and brother of Eben. This house was later owned by Deacon James Libby, who moved it across Woods Pond on the ice and dwelt there 'til his death......"
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Michael Emerson came from England, early in the 17th century, where he settled in Mass., and reared a family from whom descended William Emerson and Theodore, brothers, who came from Methuen, Mass., the former in 1772, and the latter in in 1779, and settled in Bridgton, Maine and became the ancestors of the Emersons in that town and Harrison. William Emerson was born in 1748, married Elizabeth Myrick, a Welsh lady, and died in 1827. "He was by nature," says Marshall Cram, " singularly fitted to aid in the settlement of a new country; he had a strong constitution, great powers of endurance, cheerful spirits and a kind heart". He had issue, six sons and seven daughters, of whom one settled here, viz: Major Jacob Emerson .....[etc]"

His son, Thomas William, tried to trace him in later years and said he was lost on a tug out of Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1917. No confirmation of this exists. Is it possible he died in the Halifax harbor disaster in which the waterfront was wiped out and many boats lost?? There is a gravestone for Thomas William, Joseph and "little Willie" in the Trefethen graveyard on Peaks Island. It is unknown who placed the stone and when. Most likely, it was Thomas, my great-grandfather. It says "lost at sea". The Trefethen cemetery is located at the foot of Wild Rose path off Oak Lawn Rd. on Peaks Island, Portland, Maine.

In Reply to: Thomas Martin - Quebec to Maine posted by Jeanne on May 02, 1999 at 14:35:04:

One of the settlers of Acadia was Barnabe Martin who arrived there before 1666, so it certainly is possible that "your" Martin was an Acadian. Some of Barnabe's descendants dispersed to New Bruswick after the Grand Derangement" of 1755. I am descended from Barnabe but my line goes from Acadia to a marriage in Repentigny, Quebec in 1763. I suspect that the Acadia Martins were widely dispersed after the "Grand Derangement".
Do a search for Acadia or for Barnabe Martin.

[NI00232] In the death certificate for Elizabeth Martin Dewyea, it lists her father as Nicholas FRELATTE, not Frellick. I believe Frellick is the correct spelling. There were a number of Frellicks living on Peaks Island, where Elizabeth lived with her husband Thomas W. Martin and children. Her son by her second marriage to Francis Dewyea - Ernest X. Dewyea - supplied the information at her death and perhaps simply remembered incorrectly or it was misheard by the clerk.********

Harrison 'Happy' Wood, 87; 'just an all-around nice guy'
EAST BALDWIN - Sometimes it's hard to figure out how people got their nicknames.
Others, like "Tiny" for a big fellow, are meant to be funny.
Harrison Wood's was straight-ahead. For pretty much all of his 87 years, Mr. Wood, who died on Monday, June 16, 2003, was "Happy."
You could see it on his face: "Happy" Wood was a happy man.
There was always a smile, always a kind word, always cheer.
"He was just an all-around nice guy, I'd say," his son, Paul Wood, who lives in Raymond, said Monday. "Never got mad at anybody, always pleasant and involved in most everything."
He never smoked, never drank.
"Never swore," his son said. "Till the last week or two."
He was tall and lanky, with an easy way that lent itself to sales.
For 17 years, he sold cars at Walker Chevrolet in Kezar Falls.
"He was pleasant and not pushy," said his daughter, Janice Nickerson, who lives in Exeter, N.H. "Had a nice pleasant face and a pleasant demeanor."
The two said their father was a perfect dad who always was there for them.
He was an Eagle Scout and scoutmaster of the Baldwin troop. While scoutmaster, his son earned his Eagle badge.
"He wasn't too easy on me," his son said. "We climbed Mount Washington every year with his troop. He just loved to be outdoors. He loved people."
Mr. Wood was a fine athlete who played baseball with the Limington town team, which was state champion one year. He and the team went on to Kansas, where they competed with less success.
He kept playing the game, though, until he was older than 40.
Much of his life, he enjoyed square dancing, and always enjoyed dance music.
He wasn't much for reading - that was his wife's thing - but he liked game shows on television, things like "Jeopardy!," "The Price Is Right" and "Wheel of Fortune." He liked watching baseball, as well.
Mr. Wood also knew his way around the kitchen, and was a good cook, although he once let something burn in the oven because a friend had stopped by and he didn't want the friend to know that he, rather than his wife, was engaged in that particular enterprise.
He collected stamps and coins, and he enjoyed eating - especially ice cream.
Mr. Wood had an apple orchard, and always had gardens.
The longtime car salesman loved cars, too, and used to get a new one every other year.
His favorite: the 1957 Chevrolet.
"Everybody's favorite," his daughter said.

He was a member of the East Baldwin Congregational Church where he was custodian for many years. He was also custodian at Brown Memorial Library. He was a member of the East Baldwin Couples Club, the West Baldwin Grange, and later the Maple Grove Grange in Sebago. He was an Eagle Scout and scoutmaster of the Baldwin troop and had 5 scouts earn their Eagle Scout Badge at the same time. He went on many scouting trips and spent weeks at Camp Hinds with the troop as well as climbing Mt. Washington several times. He played baseball with the town team until he was over 40 and was run down by a man at first base and spent four days in the hospital with a broken collar bone, and thought it was then time to hang up his glove.

[NI00259] For the Morning Star: " DEATH OF REV. E.C. WILLEY - Died in Lawrence, Mass., April 6, Rev. E. C. WILLEY, aged 58 years, 8 months. Bro. W. was born, in Bartlett, N.H. experienced religion in the nineteenth year of his age, under the preaching of Rev. Samuel Haselton, and was baptised by the same. In 1834 he was licensed to preach the gospel, and in 1837 he was ordained by a committee chosen by the Sandwich Q. M. He was settled over the following churches in succession; 1st, 2d and 3d churches of Eaton, N.H.; afterwards in Bridgton.
From the latter place, in 1816, he removed to Lewiston, Me., and in the vicinity of that city, and other parts of the State, he labored as an itinerant preacher, the Lord blessing his efforts to the salvation of souls. Afterwards he had charge of a church in Albany, N.H., where he remained until the spring of 1862, when he removed to Lawrence, Mass. He at once connected himself with the F.W.B. church, and remained a worthy and faithful member until his death. While on a visit to his friends, last summer, he fell in the depot at Concord, on stepping from a morning train, and fractured his thigh bone. The close confinement necessarily following from this accident, together with his extreme suffering, so weakened his already enfeebled system, that he had not power to rally, and a disease, known as consumption of the blood, soon ended his life. During his stay with us, he was a consistent, faithful Christian; a constant attendant at church and social meetings, and ever ready to do his part. Even after his injuries, as soon as he was able to got out of doors, he was often seen coming to the prayer meeting upon two crutches, feeling his way through the darkness by the dim light of a lantern, carried by some friend. He felt a deep interest for the young, and often in heart-stirring appeals besought them to come to Christ. In his last illness, though the flesh seemed weak, and his affliction seemed almost too much to bear, yet the spirit was strong, and he was calm and peaceful. When asked as to his prospect for the future, he would exclaim, "All is bright; not a cloud to be seen; Jesus is mine and I am his; I can trust him." Death had lost all its terrors and he was patiently waiting for the summons, to come down from the walls of Zion. He expressed great anxiety for some of his children who were out of Christ, and had a desire to see them all loving and serving the Saviour, before he died, still he was willing to trust it all to God, who can do nothing amiss. A few days before his death he called his family to his bedside and gave them his farewell counsels, made preparation for his funeral and burial, and requested the writer to preach on that occasion. Then his work seemed done, for although he still lingered, he took but little notice of earthly things.
Thus died one of God's faithful servants, trusting in the Saviour he had sought in early life, and had so often recommended to others. He has gone to his reward, and doubtless in the morning of the resurrection, there shall be many souls who shall shine as stars in his crown of rejoicing. - J. BURNHAM DAVIS "

From the Athol Transcript April 12, 1910:
" South Royalston
Terrible Accident Saturday
South Royalston had the worst accident in its history Saturday afternoon, when two men lost their lives in the collapse of the new chimney at the woolen mill. Both Louis Fornier, 22, and William Gray, 51, are dead.
The job is in charge of the Webber Chimney Co. of Chicago, Ill., for the American Woolen Co. The concrete chimney, to be 105 feet when finished, is being erected at the new plant, and had reached a height of 70 feet. Without a word of warning to Fornier and Gray, who were on the top of the chimney, one whole section of concrete caved in, carrying with it the two men inside the staging, and the outside frame into which the concrete is poured, to the ground below, a distance of 70 feet. Both men were completely buried in the cement and truss work. Gray was taken out first, and was just breathing. Fornier was next removed from the ruins, and was dead, probably being instantly killed. The latter was taken to a nearby barn, while Gray was placed on a stretcher, and as the 2:15 passenger train west was just pulling in, he was placed on board and accompanied by his son, C.W. Gray, and Dr. Bates of Ashburnham, started for the Greenland hospital. Gray died just before reaching Millers Falls, having received fatal internal injuries. Both men were terribly mangled. Gray was just able to breathe a few words, and was conscious when taken out of the ruins.
Three fellow-workmen had narrow escapes from serious injuries when the chimney fell, as all were working nearly under it and just managed to reach a place of safety. They were Napoleon Gayonette, James Shean and William Dumas. The accident stirred everyone in the town, and work was generally suspended. Louis Fornier had lived about all his life in South Royalston. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Fornier of Maynard, and was a good workman. He was married and leaves two children. His widow is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horton Adams of Athol, well known people in that town.
The death of Mr. Gray was particularly sad. His son, C.W. Gray, is foreman of the chimney job, and the former only came to town a week or so ago from his home in Bridgton, Me. He was intending to go back Monday, and was only helping his son out on the job. It is stated he had been trying to have the son give up the job, as he feared something might happen. He leaves his widow in Maine, as well as another son besides the one in Royalston. Associate Medical Examiner Dr. A. V. Bowker of Athol viewed the body of Fornier. It was freely expressed that the recent damp days had not allowed the concrete to dry sufficiently to allow the weight of men at the top; it was stated also that the (illegible) is but eight inches at the ...(illegible)...and it is claimed that this is not large enough for a chimney 105 feet high. The accident cast a shadow all over the town.
The body of Mr. Gray was taken to Greenfield, and yesterday it was taken by his son to Maine, where the funeral will be held. The funeral of Mr. Fornier will be held this morning in the Church of Our Lady Immaculate, and the burial is in Athol. It is stated that both the elder and younger Mr. Gray were planning to leave the job yesterday. The father (should say son [jmc]) had been in the chimney less than an hour before it collapsed and had just gone down to make out the pay roll. It was stated yesterday by one who has kept a close run of the work that the mixture of cement was correct, and the dimensions of the chimney were right, but the cause of the accident was the fact that the cement was not properly dry. Anyway many would like to see an investigation of the accident. "
