The stress and strain of the strenuous

All who are suffering with stomach troub

OF the Early History of Prospect, Now
Searsport.
The death of Nahum Mosman Web
Der, September 81. 1907, at the age of IS
years, writes our Searsport correspon-
dent, recalls some of the early history
of Prospect, now Searsport. Mr.. Web
Der was born Sept. 20, 1922 the son of
lothian and Edith (Staples) Weber.
The attending physician at Mr.. Web
ber's birth was DR.. Nahum Mosman.
the first physician of Prospect, who
moved here from Sudbury, Mass, in
1904 and moved into the wooden dwell
ing house situated on the site of the
residence of Miss George L. Ford on
Bay View street, where he lived until
1909, when he bought the Winthrop
Smith house on Main street opposite
the Searsport National Bank of the
Smith heirs (Mr Smith having died in
1904, where he continued to live until
his death in 1924. Quite a large tract
of land was held by DR.. Mosman. part
of which is now owned by his grand
son, F. H. Mosman of North Reading
Mass Prior to the incorporation of
the town of Prospect, which was for
merly Frankfort plantation, this
property was owned by Joseph Page
and Joseph York, who held adjoining
lots OF 100 acres each, forming a tract
bounded westerly upon stream called
Half Way Greek and situated near un-
to township called Belfast. These
men sold their lots to Col. Thomas
Goldthwait of Fort Pownal, now Fort
Point, in the spring of the year 1772.
The lumber used in the construction of
the house built by Winthrop Smith in
1898 was cut within a quarter of mile
of where the house was erected In
1870 the house was taken down and
the tlmbers and boarding were bought
by the late Benjamin, C. Smith, a
grandson of Winthrop, and used i'm the
construction of his house near the
Union schoolhouse on North Searsport
avenue. The first house which DR.
Mosman lived in on Bay View street |
was bought by the late Stephen Blake
IN 1916 and moved to it's present loca.
ton at the foot of Water street. where
