BANKS TREASURES IN HOTEL
When Moneyed Men Of Maine Feared
for Their Gold.

For two years, from 1912 to 1914,
the treasure of all the banks of the
Forest City lay in the parlor of the
Marrett house in Standish village, and
as evidence Of the fact today upon the
parlor door can be seen the huge lock
which was placed there nearly a cen.
fury ago to add safeguard to the
treasure.
During the war OF 1912 the bankers
OF Portland thought their treasure was

ish forces, and in casting about for a
safe place their choice fell upon the
town Of Standish and the Marrett
house as a depository for the treasure.
Loaded upon six-ox cart and guarded
closely, the money. thousands OF dol.
lars Of 1t, was transported 16 miles
and deposited in the place of safety,
where 1t remained for two years with
a guard of but one man to watch II.
The door OF the parlor in which the
money was placed was REINFORCED by
heavy lock having a brass handle,
and extra supports were placed under
the floor of the room to sustain the
enormous weight Of wealth. The house
is still owned by descendants OF Rev.
Mr.. Merrett and is one OF the Oldest
