Union River-The Origin Gifts Name.

Perhaps it may be interesting 10 many Of
your reader. To know something Of the origin
OF the name Of the river upon which the city
OF Ellsworth stands. In looking over the
records Of the late Rev. Jonathan Fisher. /
find the following
In the year 1862. Samuel Lancaster. Esq.
sud others. were appointed by the Governor
Of the Colony Of Massachusetts to Law out
twelve Townships on the East OF Penob.cot
river. six Of them TO David Marsh and others.
between Penobscot river and Mount Desert
river, then 80 called, and six Of them below
Mount Desert river to company from Ply
mouth. Mass. and Whereabouts. Two sub
committees were appointed in this business
and took with them pilot TO assist in finding
Mount Desert river.
Having found it, from the circumstance
that each tract OF six townships was 10 meet
upon 1t, Squire Livermore said let 1t be
called UNION RIVER. Upon this, with the
ceremony OF breaking bottle filed with rum,
it was called by that name which 1t still re-
tans.
The -ix townships to Marsh and others were
those afterwards called Buckstown % rland. Pen.
these six townships were laid out part of
the lines being run. request was sent home
To England TO have the grant established. but
about the same time the British Court was In
formed that 1t contained large quantity Of
timber for masts, etc. so the request was de-
ferred and the lots OF timber marked of. A
little before the Revolutionary war a surveyor
came and ran round number OF townships and
through them in several directions to discover
timber; but before the return was made the
war broke out and the business fell through
After the commencement Of independence. in
the year 1852, the proprietors Of the six town.
ships between Penobseot and Union rivers,
petitioned the Massachusetts General Court
for an establishment of their title to these town
ships. The petition was granted on con-
dition that for each township hundred
pounds should be paid into the Treasury. This
seemed hardship, and about the year 1873
they again petitioned, and with the assistance
OF Colonel Putnam, who was employed in
surveying the neighboring Island. the request
was granted. The grant was to the effect that
| each settler should be quieted with one hun.
dred acres Of land each, resident proprietors
| one hundred acres each, including the settle
| ments. The remainder, exclusive OF public
lots to be equally divided among all the proprie-
| tors. This petition was carried to the General
| Court by Mr.. Simeon Miller who was then en-
ployed as a preacher of the Gospel, in Bluehill.

| One of the saddest events for many weeks
/ past was.the death of Mrs. Ida Dreamer
| which occurred in Portland the ith inst,
| after weeks of suffering. Mrs. Creamer
went TO Portland for medical treatment
| several weeks ago, with the hope Of final
restoration TO good health, but her frail
constitution gave way under the ravsges OF
disease. notwithstanding the best medical
skill and care were provided for her relief.
On the 9Th her remains were brought to this
place accompanied BY her husband and
mother, and on the following day the funeral
took place at her home, attended BY many
friends and relatives. Mrs. Dreamer was
- years Of age. \ graduate Of the f.. VI.
{. Seminary in the class Of 80. Subse-
quently she taught at Stafford Springs,
Conn. with good success. She was kind
hearted, with an atfectonate consideration
for all she alike endeared herself to old and
young. Though surrounded with all the
blessings and prospects which make life
dear to us, yet she passed away with chris
tian hope and resignation.

great success. the society clearing one
hundred and fifty dollars, enough to pa, all
outstanding debts, and have Fly dollars
