WAUkEAG NECK, SULLIVAN.
Oct. l6, 1885. {
Mr.. Editor !:

Mr.. Editor
As | am spending few weeks in this
place, and have visited all the places of in
terest, think it no more than fair that the
people Of this vicinity should be represent
ed in your columns once at least, especially
as the AMERICAN is read in almost every
house here. Waukeag Neck is about three
and one half miles long. At high water it
is nearly an island. From the head of Long
Cove where the neck starts off from the
mainland il is seven miles around the neck
to the starting point, and one Of the pleas
ATTEST drives at this time of the wear, in
the State of Maine. Through the middle of
the neck from north to south there is pla-
teau seventy-five to one hundred feet above
the level Of the bay. The road winds
around the neck at the foot of the hills and
between the road and the shore are some of
the best farms in Hancock County, among
which | must mention that owned BY Newell
and Lyman Brsgdon. Two farms on the
west side deserve special notice, one belong
ing to Judson L. WEIGH, consisting of one
hundred acres of land, and in as good shape
as any farm you might see in a DAYS travel.
Mr.. WEIGH has proved TO a certainty that
farming in Hancock County will paw. He
has splendid farm, nice buildings and
money at interest, entirely from the profits
of his farm. Another model farm is that
of Edwin c. Parker At the foot of his
field is one Of the largest muscle beds in
Frenchman's Bay. From any part of his
farm full view Of the islands in the bay,
the terminus Of the railroad and all the sur
rounding country can be obtained. One of
the places of interest is the high head on the
east side from which you can get view Of
almost the whole of Frenchman's BAY.
This bluff is one hundred feet above the
water and it is sport for the old as we'll as
the young to roll rocks down into the water
when the tide is in. The first settlers Of
this place were Bragdon, Bean, Sullivan and
Preble. who have descendants still living
here. Several of the best locations have
been sold to western parties. Waukeag
Neck possesses some Of the greatest at
fractions for the tourist of any place in
eastern Maine, and is surely destined to be-
come noted summer resort.

During the earlier portion of his life he fol.

He was an honest man, of Industrious hab-

leaves the wife of his youth, and eight chill

carried in his pocket for years, and from
which, in seasons Of mental depression, he
derived sort Of inspiration, are published
in connection with this notice, by special re.
quest Of his bereaved family.
