with wooden guns, under the command Of
Capt. Ben. Branch. This military ardor and
enthusiasm increased with his physical
strength, and when at Is years Of age we
fnd him in what was called at that time the
''string- bean militia" a member of the
company commanded by Capt. Stephen Love
joy. One year later he was called to guard
the old Kennebec Jail in this city, to repulse
a threatened attack of the ruffians disguised
rs Malta Indians, who had determined to
hberate some prisoners confined in the jail
He bore an honorable part in the war of 1914
The company with which he was connected
was ordered to do guard duty at Wiscasset,
Edgecomb and Squam Island. When 40
years of age, the famous Aroostook war
"burst upon the country" Mr.. Pinkham be-
came substitute for Capt. Samuel Eastman
and filed his place in the ranks. Two of his
sons were also in the same regiment as sub
stitutes. The old gentleman acknowledges
that his going ''to the front was not stimulat-
ed altogether by the purest patriotism-that
he and his sons knew there would be no
fighting, and ''flthy lucre," pure and sim
pie, beckoned him on to the 'field ofcarnage
and death" in the Aroostook country. He
was permitted to return ''after the battle,
mother" to the bosom of his family, safe and
sound, with a land warrant in each hand.
Since these eycntful scenes, Mr.. pinkham
has resided in Massachusetts, and in Wis
consin, living in the latter place for thirteen
years. He was there on the breaking out of
the late civil war. His keen, eagle eye de-
teeted the gathering clouds long before they
burst in fury upon the country, and he knew
that war was inevitable. He had been trained
in the jackson school of politics, and it was
hard to break away from his old associates,
but he saw how they were arraying them
selves against the country he loved WELL
striking against the flag he had tried to up
hold and he left the ranks of the corrupt
and traitorous democratic party forever and
joined himself to the young and vigorous
republican party that had enlisted for the
salvation of the Union. lie was then 20
years of age, and of course too old to enlist
in the army; but he was in position where
he could render good deal of aid to the
Union cause, in encouraging men TO enlist,
filing up companies in the town where he
lived and doing the work of patriot in
many ways. At the close Of the war Mr.
Pinkham returned to his native State and is
now enjoying a green old age, with The pros
peet of many comfortable years before him.

We have already made mention in these
columns of Mr.. Reuben Pinkham of Sidney,
who is at the present time living at the Mill
tary Asylum at Togus. He was eighty years
old last May and is still hale and hearty old
fellow. We pity the young chap who might
by some means be induced to take hold of the
old man at ''the side hugs" There would be
lively times, and doubtless the youthful ath-
lete would "hear something drop." The 9TH
er dav the old gentleman brosght to our Of
flee for examination a very ancient Family
Bible which has been in his family and trans
mitted from generation to generation for one
hundred and eight years. 1t contains the rec
ord of his grandfather's and fathers family.
1t is an Oxford bible and was printed in 1872.
Its original owners were very careful of it,
and the time-honored bible passed from their
hands in good state of preservation. Those
who received it next in order were not quite
SO careful the precious old heirloom receiv-
ed hard usage; many of its leaves were torn
out, others were fnger-marked, stained, and
mutilated. At one time it was lost sight OF
by the legitimate heirs. Finally it was dis
covered and came into the hands of its pres
ent owner as a gift from the mother of Hon.
Abner Coburn of Skowhegan. No one can
Justly estimate the value which the old man
puts upon this present, coming to his hands
as it does richly freighted with the memories
of the past.

in Nantucket on the 25th of July, 1880. For
many years he was seafaring man, but after
wards abandoned that occupation, moved to
Sidney, in this county, purchased farm about
five miles from Augusta, and went to blowing
the earth instead of the sea. Here in l16l his
son Reuben was born, the father of the Reuben
at the present time living. The senior Reuben
lived on the farm until about 10 years of ago,
when hedied.
Mr.. Pinkham's mind is still strong, and his
memory of events far in the past fresh and
vigorous. He is a cousin of V. ID. Pinkham,
Esq, of this city. Most of the family had
large frames and are blessed with good con-
situations. Thel life of Mr.. Pink ham has been
checkered and evcntful one. AS he stands
now, as it were, for brief season between
the living and the dead, he is privileged to
hold communion with the past--to live in its
days that have glided away, and participate in
the great events that are known to most of us
only as we CLEAN them from the pages of his
tory. " ~'f
