now running with great benefit not
only to the town, but the region about
Thee first physician located in Scion
was Mortimer Bodwell, and the first
lawyer, was Elias Cobb. The town had
several Revolutionary soldiers credited
to her, and during the War of the Re
bei)iOn, sent large number of men, in
proportion to tie population. to the
front. The town has always been proud
of it's schools, and of the fact that it
fits it's boys to enter the colleges of
New England, without conditions.
In 1906 Congregational church was
organized here. 1T appears that in 1905
the Methodist Episcopal church had a
preacher here, the town being included
in the NOrridgewock circuit. The I'm
ion Meeting House, known as the Con-
gregational church, was erected in 1887.
The MethOdiSts then owned quarter
of it. but in 1859 they built church of
their own, which they now occupy.
Scion today is beautifully situated
and has many handsome residences,
and well titled farms. The census of
1900 gave the population as 1896, and in
1904 there were 3f3 polls. and the es-
tates We're valued at ss79,996. 1t is very

laid out near the center of the town.

There was a controversy similar to
this between Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, over the. State line. Mas
sachusetts had granted Thomas Stew
ems ct al, lands in the town of War
ner which We're afterwards found to
be in New Hampshire. To compensate
them there was granted to Jonathan
Barnard, ct al. the north half of the
town of Scion, bounded on the south by
line parallel to and three miles dis
tant from, the south line of the town,
reserving four lots of land equal in
quality with the rest, of 160 acres each,
for public uses. These things caused
controversies which it took a long
while to settle.
The town was incorporated Feb. %,
1909. and was organized on the 9th of
March following, the plantation name
being Spauldingtown. named for Thorn
as Spaulding, one of the Grantees.

lived several miles away were SO much
pleased that as one of them. re-
marked, they now had a grist-
mill within their own door yards"
At that time salmon were so
plenty at certain seasons of the year
at Carratunk Falls that the people said
it seemed as though one might walk
across the river on them. Carratunk
Falls is one of the widest places on
the Kennebec river and it is said that
when Benedict Arnold camped there on
his way to Quebec, he and his men had
SO much difficulty in passing them he
renamed the place The Devils Falls.
The first store in the town was kept
by Elisha Coolidge. and Mr.. Rouse;
Mr.. Coolidge came from Hallowell, and
Rouse from Boston. They continued in
business there for half century.
Probably the first mill was built in 1898
or "a, by Calvin Pierce, on Fall Brook.
1t is said that Elisha Grover first de-
veloped the power at Carratunk Falls,
in 1899, with a saw mill and grist mill.
He also built a bridge across the
stream. In 1916 the bridge and mill
were carried away by freshet.
lii 1887 work was begun upon pulp
mill which was opened in 1891: the first
owners failed, and bondholders took
possession. In 1899 the International

this town. After the Revolutionary
War the boundary lines of Mass and

Massachusetts and New York had an
argument over the line between the
two states; survey was made and it
was found that certain lands granted
by Massachusetts to settlers in Groton
laid within New York. The grant was
void, and the settlers had no claims on
these lands. In 1871 James Prescott in

might be made them for the land lost

town of Scion. The land thus conveyed

of the town of Scion. In 1892 there was

be allowed to sell goods in the town on
the day of celebration.
At the annual town meeting 500 was
appropriated to help defray the expen-
SEES of the celebration. Many thought
this sum was not sufficient, and so a
special town meeting was recently held
to raise more money. The town, how
ever, voted against the proposition, for
the reason that this year $4,000 will be
expended towards the erection of new
bridge, toward which the county and
State will also contribute. The neces-
sary funds for the celebration there
fore will be raised by private subscrip-
ton and an invitation is extended to all

The town of Scion lies on the east
bank of the Kennebec River, and was
included in the original grant of the
Sagadahoc territory In 1851 it passed
under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts
Bay. In 1882 William Hilton who came
from Wiscasset settled here. AT a
very early date the fertility of the land
along the Kennebec was well known,
and not long after it's settlement Scion
became one of the leading towns in the
county of. Somerset. The spring of
the same year which brought Mr.. Hill
ton to town, William Hunnewell took
up a lot next to that of Mr.. Hilton. Mr..
