The barn of Mrs Susan Towle is one hun
dred years old this month, having been
erected in the year 1896 by MIR. Samuel
Matthews. 1t is in as a good a state of pres
ervation as most of the barns which have
not been built half as long. The boards
Were sawed at Masons mill in East Belfast,
by Richard Stinson, who built the first mill
on Goose river. The hinges used on the
tleup door until within few years were
used on the door of the powder magazine at
Fort George at Castne by the English in
the Revolutionary war, and were secured by
Mr.. Matthews when they abandoned that
place. The first school taught in Searsport
was kept in this barn. 1t was also used as
place OF religious worship by the Rev. Mr.
Huston.
