Newspaper clipping, Skowhegan's Grand Old Man Is Four Score and Ten Today, 1928

Ninety years ago in the town of Harmony, a little son was born to Cyrus and Sarah Butler Bartlett, who was named Darius Hamlin Bartlett, and today Mr. Bartlett, who to a host of friends is known as "Ham," is observing this anniversary of his natal day at his home on Madison avenue.  Mr. Bartlett, a few weeks ago, was presented with the Boston Post gold headed cane.

Mr. Bartlett has a sunny disposition and he is possessed of a fund of humor, which with his sterling character and integrity during many years of merchantile [sic] activities have made him respected and beloved by a large circle of acquaintances and friends.

Mr. Bartlett's father was a merchant and in his early boyhood, Mr. Bartlett began his business training, assisting in his father's store.  In the fall of 1858 he began his merchantile career, by establishing a business with a cousin, Henry Bartlett; known as H. and D.H. Bartlett.  The principle business was handling farm products purchased from farmers from miles around and shipped to near by cities and supplying the farmers with all that their families needed in exchange for their produce.  After the death of Henry Bartlett, in 1861, D.H. Bartlett clerked for a few years, and again opened a store in Harmony which he operated successfully.

In the Spring of 1884, he moved to Athens, having sold his business in Harmony.  In Athens he conducted a general store which he purchased of Albert Wade.  Mr. Bartlett came to Skowhegan and in 1892 took over what was known as the Fletcher store, where is now located the Farmers' Union.  Mr. Bartlett's last business activities were in this store, which business he sold to Patterson and Goodrich in 1902.  Although for some time he was a partner of a meat and provision business conducted on Water street, in the store now occupied by Smith and Casey.

Mr. Bartlett is an attendant and supporter and attendant [sic] of the Federated church and within a few days he was present at a supper and entertainment, much enjoying the affair and adding greatly to the pleasure of the other guests by his cheer and brilliant repartee.  He is strong for temperance and enforcement of all alws [sic].  His affiliations were few, but in 1861 he became a mason.

Mr. Bartlett has held responsible public offices, being past master in Harmony and also served his native town as clerk and threasurer [sic].  He has served as both representative and senator in the State Legislature.

On Christmas Day in 1881 Mr. Bartlett married Della Leighton, daughter of Wayland and Mary Emery Leighton of Harmony.  Mr. Bartlett died Dec. 29, 1926.  A beautiful and happy home life was enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett who delighted in entertaining royally their relatives and friends.  Mr. Bartlett, an expert gardener, raised the choicest vegetables for his table and many beautiful flowers for home decorations.  A niece of Mrs. Bartlett and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Willis C. Hobart have established their home at the Bartlett residence and are making Mr. Bartlett's reclining years comfortable and happy.

Mr. Bartlett's many friends extend best wishes for today, and anniversary day that few are permitted to enjoy, and wish for him other birthday observances.

Dear Mildred,

I am writing to say that Lou got his promotion but has not been placed as yet.  We expect to know where we are going in about a week and if you see you can help Jerry for a little while longer it will be just fine but if you can't and he is too much bother write to me and let me know.

Just address me Chester Hotel Phoenixville and I will get the letter and will come and get Jerry.  I hope he hasn't made you more nervous but honestly we have been so busy we haven't even had the time to see anyone.  Didn't even get down home for Xmas.

How is Jack?  Hope he has fully recovered by this time.

I think Louis is going to stay right in Philly and in a way I hope he is kept there.  Then I can get an apartment and get settled.  There are some nice ones in Lawndale for $40.00 per month but I think we may go to West Philly.  Well I'll sure be glad to get settled as it is tiresome chasing around the country.

Well here's hopeing [sic] we get settled soon and also hope to see you all soon.

How are your problems coming?  Hope you know some thing definite now.  It sure is a worry not knowing what one is going to do.

Well Mildred if you have to move, and I'm settled and you can't get a place you sure can come with us a while.

We have several demonstrations this week in Spring City and Royersford.  These tours are just 4 miles from Phoenix.

Well here's hopeing [sic] once again that we all meet soon and when do we eat?

Love to all
Edith

Newspaper clipping, wedding announcement, Frank and Laura Fenderson, 1905

Newport.

A pretty but quiet wedding occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Barrows, Newport July 11th, when their sister Laura, youngest child of the late Orin R. and Laura Hight Jose, was married to Frank Devereux Fenderson of Parsonfield.  The marriage was performed by the Rev. Mr. Coons, pastor of the Universalist church, Pittsfield, the double ring service being used.  The wedding march was played by Miss Lilla M. Merrow of Bangor, a friend of the bride.  The bride entered on the arm of her brother, Wallace Hight Jose, preceded by her nephews, Masters Lewis and Waldo Barrows as ribbon bearers, and followed by Master Newton Thompson who carried the rings on a tiny white silk cushion.

The rooms were decorated with ferns, evergreen, daisies and pink clover, and especially attractive was the one in which the ceremony was performed, the couple standing in front of a bank of ferns and daisies and beneath a horse shoe of daisies.

The bride was gowned in white silk, with veil, and carried a shower bouquet of daisies.

Only a few of the most intimate friends besides the family were present.

The presents were many.  The bride is one of Newport's well-known and highly respected young ladies, and on one who only the highest words of praise can be spoken.  The bridegroom is a young man of fine character and strict integrity, being employed in the legal department of the New England Telephone and Telegraphy Company.

They left on the Pullman for a wedding trip, after which they will make their home in Portland.

Among the out-of-town guests who were present were Miss Blanche Fenderson and Mrs. J. Merrill Lord of Parsonsfield, Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Thompson and Master Newton Thompson of Pittsfield, . . .

Do You Remember?, newspaper clipping, 1936
