The Grindle Family.
wArERvILLE, ME-, !


To the Editor of The american:
A recent article in the Lewiston Journal
relating to the Grindle family, alleged to
have been told by Perry Grindle. OF North
Bluehiil, is altogether wrong. Mr.. Grin
dies great age or the reporters imagination
is no doubt responsible for the mistake.
AS matter OF fact and history, the
GrindIes were quite old settlers in Eastern
Maine at the breaking out OF the Revolu-
tionary war. The records at Augusta show
that there were four of the name who
served in the war for Independence, viz !:
Reuben Grindal, Daniel Grindal and Ich-
sbod Grindsl, served in Captain William
Reeds company called by Col. Jonathan
Buck at Machias, from Aug. 10, 17777, to
Sept. Is, TIT. Their residences are not
given, but there is no doubt but they
were residents of Penobscot or Binehill.
William Grindle, OF Penobscot, served
in Captain John Lanes company OF Col.
Fosters regiment at Cape Ann from July
10, IT'S, to Nov. 1, 17T5, and William Grim
del, same company and same place, from
Nov. 1, ITO, to Dec. 81, 1775, and William
Grindail from Jan. /, i776, to Feb. Is, I776.
| presume he was one and the same man,
with three different variations OF spelling
the name.

County Suffrage League.
SOUTHWEST HARBoR.


To the Editor Of the American:
In placing DIR. Abby M. Fulton upon the
list Of honorary members of the National
Woman Suffrage league, as was done at
the last annual meeting OF the American
association, a graceful recognition of DIR.
Fulton's long and valued services and
unswerving devotion TO the cause, meets
the approval OF all the friends of reform in
this State to whom she is so well known.
That it is gratefully appreciated by DR..
Fulton and her friends, no one can doubt.
Her most recent effort in the cause is the
organization of the Woman Suffrage
league of Hancock county, started last
year. A meeting of the league at Els
worth has been determined upon at an
early date, as soon as the president, who is
now out of the State, shall be ready to
convene the association.
1t is to be hoped that there will be an
enthusiastic meeting and full attendance.

Miss Juliette Nickerson, State agent for
the prevention of cruelty to children,
found near Otter Creek: A family Of
eight children, six under eight years OF
age, baby of four months, in box for a
cradle. The main house was 10xi2, the
shed was 6xs. The large room had bed
stead made of fir poles nailed to the stud
ding, and poles to lie on. With an old
mattress the children lay on the floor on
rags. The shed contained a stove, two
parts Of chairs and part Of rocker, and a
few old dishes. The shed leaked so badly
when it rained that they had to go into
the other room. Miss Nickerson came
back to the village and went among the
business men and got money and bought
shingles, nails and boards and stove pipe,
and sent them out to the house to be put
ON, and sent also box of clothing.
