From 1850 till 1879, when Kennebec Coun
ty was Incorporated, all deeds were recorded
at Wiscasset. The index to these records
was made in 1900 and constant use has been
made it so eligible that it is well nigh impos-
sible to lind deed recorded at this early
period. As in making a complete abstract
OF title to land in keDnebec, these records must
be referred to, the copying and indeIing Of
these deeds would be great convenience to
all who have dealings in real estate. All
