An Account Of Early Settlers

The following was received from Mr. Eben 0. Oould of Maplewood, New Jersey some t~me aio and we have been holdinP" it for this, our first issue in Milo's 150th

. year. We would very much appreciate receivin~r more~ articles (and photos) dealinll with Milo's history -in or­der to be able to run somethinf! each week until the big­celebrations start,

John W. Thompsol'., amarinerirom Maryland, and his second wife , Mary TaylorfromScituate , Mass., were amonsr the early settlersofthetownship which became Milo, Maine. There they cleared a farm from the primeval wildersnes, lived in loe: houses for years until they accumulated the wherewithal to con­struct a small frame house, built a: trail to the nearest settle­ment pend in~< construction of a hi~th way andraised a larsre fam­ily of childrl'!n. Althousrh the stcry of their lives would probably not be much different from many other of our forebears whc wereearlysettle rsinNe wEnsrland, in their case we have suffi­cientfacts and family traditions upon which to partially recon-st ruct their careers. ·

Mary survived her husband by over forty years and the whole family seems to have revolved around her. · Grandchildren were fond of visiting her and wer,e still mentioninl!' her when this writer was a boy, thirty years after she had passed away. Ever. relatives from far off Massachusetts came to see her. One of her devoted admirers was Dora M. Gould who is believed to have written her obituary and who furnished this writer with a tribute to her grandmother many years later. Our account can best be started with quotationS? from those authorative sources. From the obituary published in Zions Advocate, a paper popular amon!t Baptists of that day, \ve quote: ·

(Died) "In Milo , March 31 , 1891, Mrs. Mary Thompson, a~ed ninety years. Mrs . Thompson was born in. Scituate, Mass. Her .>arents , Richard and Lydia Taylor were of Enl!'lish descent.

Early in childhood she rrave her heart to God, and set a worthy ex­ample which some · woqld do well. to follow.

AN ACCOt:NT OF EAHLY SETTLERS Cont'd from Page 3

.To appreciate the surroundinl!s of John and ~·Iary it is well to know somethinP' of the early history and the !!eoR"raphy of Se­bec and Mllo. Both towns are bordered on the south by the val­ley of the Piscataquis River. To the north the land rises in

· a series of hills across the middle of Sebec and the western part of Milo over which the present splendid hil!'hway now pas­ses from Dover-Foxcroft throul!'h Sebec to Milo Villal!'e. Fur­ther north the land rise to another ranc:re of hills on which the earliest settlers o.f Sebec settled alonrr "North Road". From there the land drops off into a valley in which there is located in Sebec the lower part of Sebec and its outlet, Sebec River, which flows eastward to about the Milo Line where.·it turns south­east and passes throue-h Mllo Villag·e in the center of that town and further on joins with the Piscataquis. The popularity of the hills amon~rthe early settlers for settlement purposes lay in the fact the hi!th ~<round was not as susceptible to killinl1' early frosts as were the lowlands. Comparison of the number of homes shown on t!le River Road, the present main road and the Nortll Road in Sebec, as shown on the 1858 Map of Piscataquis. County, part of which tttfS reproduced in the Town Crier issue of Sept. 2, 1971, discloses more homes on the North Road and how the preference for hi!!:h elevation farms was still much in evidence.

One reminder of the prosperity of some of those early hill-, top settlers is very evident even today in tl)e splendid set of farm buildinlrs on the North Road L"l Sebec where Hon. William R. Lowney, Justice of Peace, resided. Althouf!'h unpublicized and relatively unknown , they are truley historic local buildin~rs. Judg-e Lowney was one of the most distine-uished citizens of his

·day in the area. He was one of the t wo deleir.ates from p:res~nt Piscataquis County (thenp:lrtoHJancock), who framed the Con-stitution of the State in 1819. The house retains its orl11'inal form

and grandeur, unspoiled by any anachronistic ~xterior modifi­cations·. As Justice ofthe Peace, before.whom most oft Je deeds and rriorta~>'es p~rtainine- to Sebec property were ack.nowledl1'ed, his name constantly reappears in historical research in Coun-

fu 1812 there were but thirty- four persons in the Township which later became Milo. By 1820 ther e had been a substantial l!l'o\vth, at least percenta1rewise, there then be ln!! 97 inhabitants The site of present Mllo Villatre was then known as Trafton1s Falls. The darn and fi.rst m.Uls were constructed about 1823. Prior to tha t time the settlers had to make their way over the crude hi~hways to e:rist and saw mills in Sebec and what is now Brownville. The present crossroads at the top of Sa.re:ent Hill was a commtmity center of sorts , althou~th the few lot OWI\er­ships revealed qy an Atlas as late as 1818 shows that 1t could :not bav~t been characterized as a village. Traditionally the o house on the Buzzell Place was a.n inn for tb:: travellers who plodded over the route from Bangor to Milo via a ferry over the Piscataquis <1nd a bridge over the Sebec River.

One of the two early schoolhouses was located nearby. Children on Davis Hill, now commonly known as Derby Hill, reached it by a spotted trail throul'h the woods .

The differentlots ln the western part of Milo and construction of settlers' homes thereon, a::; well as in other parts of Milo, also the e-rowth of the 'school: system and the development of successive routes to Bane:or follo ws as interestin£" subjects but would require a more extensive review.

With the exception of a portico added in rec.ent times the li~tle Cape Cod house on the north side of the Dover hi!rhw~y near toe end of Sar!!ent Hiil probably comes the closest to ori!!'lnal ap­pearance of the homes built by early settlers in the Western Part of.MUo, if not the whole town. The writer has no knowledl!'e as to the date it was bui lt but it closely resembles the ori!rinal ap­pearance of the Thompson: homestead on the side road from Mitchell's corner s which burned in nineteen-sixty-four,

That early Milo family had to live lnloQ housesfor many years until the wherewithal could be accumulated to build the frame house which. was the pride and joy of the family. Ta.x records disclose that it was built about 1839.

Itichard Mayo, a local minister of Johovah's Witnees said the theme of the convention, "Let Us Serve Jehovah Whole­Souled" is based on the Bible text found at Colossians 3:2.3. Accord~(! to Mayo, the convention will help Jehovah's Chri­stian Witnnesses to jep in mind the reason for their preach­inO'- for the purpose of a witness. (Matthew chapter twenty­four verse fourteen) (1) Witness concernin!'!' Oo?'s am and will, magnifyin<>' him. This P"ives us an opport~nity to sh.ow our love for ,Jehovah God. (2) Witness to mankmd for the1r benefit. Thus love for our fellow man is a comellina force to keep us prcachinu.

Other areas of the christian's ministry will also be ex­plored at SkowheO'an. The lovinrr concern of the christian for fellow worhipers and chri.stan kindness displayed tow­ard those outside the conil"re~ratlot\.

JUVENILE; ARTHRITIS Cont 'd from Paue 6 sy·mptom& usually includ~ \l i!!'h fever, a rash, and heart and ~unP' involvement.

The two other forms, which come on P"radually , are milder and more likely to facTe a way .

There are other variations in the effects of the disease and ·its coinplecatio.l).s. '

A skin rash, inflamation of tl'!e eyes, retarded !"rowth and swollen lymph nodes and speen may be se.en. Serious eye trc;>Uble develops in as many as 10 percent of the victims of this disease-~even after after they ahve out~rrown the arthri­tis. For some unknmwn reason, this problem is seen most often in those who had the mildrst form of the disease,

To combat t,his eye dansrer, children with that disease should have special examinations every six months. Only in this way, speicalists note, an they de.tect the early stasr~s of the eye in­flmation which comes on suddenly and without warninsr sysp­toms.

Accordinl!' to Mr. Bois, the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis has just one major aim, That is to help the younll'ster live as normal a life ~s possible.

Diet presents no problem, he said, becausE:: no special rel!'i­mem is ;required other than sensible, well- balanced meals.

The prQil'ram of treatment usually order ed calls for aspirin, in carefully prescribed, lar~~:e does , as th(:) prime dru!", plus rest, reP"ular exe~cises and heat to relieve sore joints. Counselin~r by a social worker or psychiatr ist may a lso be

helpful to the patient and the family in handlin!!' the problems involved in'education and personal r elationships.
