Capt. Lewis Bisbee sends the follow
ing: "Fifty-two years ago Edwin Saw
telle's first trip from Portland to Farm
ington with stage sleigh was Nov. IL,
and his last trip in the spring was May
/. / think it was the same spring that
started from Livermore with wagon
and carried man to Chesterville Mills
on May 10th. There was considerable
snow and ice then. At one place we
passed around drift and on the 18th l
returned and the drift had been shovel
ed through. In crossing the river there
came squall. The ferryman reached
over the rope and chung for dear life for
time, and the spray froze to our cloth
ing. The man was transporting was a
relative from a warmer cline, and to
say that l felt ashamed to be caught in
such climate would be putting it
mildly"
