or,svv,na History Of otisneiu' fe-
Gently published, gives II W.
account of the sufferings OF tn. o"'y ~
tiers. 1t says all they could get TO - ~
.eks together WAS potatoes and ~
The children carried 4 raw potato to scho'
which the master roasted In the ashes, al
ter each child had marked its potato so as
not To get them mixed. l do not wish TO
contradict the historian; only rise to re-
mark, in friendly spirit, that at that time
the far-extending forests Of Otisfleld were
literally alive with game. The rivers and
ponds swarmed with fish. No man couih
number the immense quantities or luscious
nuts which rotted and wasted In the woods
every year. The marshy ponds and stresms
were actually black with wat sr-iowi AZ
some seasons. The soil, richer than that
or any other town in these part.', bronght
forth wonderful crops OF conf. Great
fields OF grain moved to and iro In the
bslmy suInmer winds, like the waves OF q
troubled sea. Were the early settlers OF
Otisaeid such eonsummate idiots that, IN
the midst of all this plenty, all they could
get to eat was potatoes and salts "Ur Gle
Daniel" has seen all these things, says the
historian. As Uncle Daniel" Is still ,liv-
ing, they must have occurred during the
nr..s..pt- generation. Forty years ago,
the population OF Otisheld was nearly
double what il Is now. Coolidge Mans
field. in their History of the To WINS OF
New England, say that Otisfeld ut that
time was the most prosperous farming
town in these parts.
