THE HOUSE, IN WHICH HARRIET 3EEcHER
UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
STOWE WROTE

as pastor Of the Baptist church in this
town.
He was accustomed to rent rooms
to Bowdoin College students and from
1922 until 1925 the southwest chamber
was occupied by Henry w. Longfellow
and Stephen Longfellow. In that
room the poet was in the habit of sit
ting and practicing upon his flute.
In the summer time he would open one
of the windows while he played and
it is said that the robins in neigh
boring grove delighted to sing as he
played and when he would stop their
song would cease.
After the death of Rev. Benjamin
Titcomb the house was rented and in
1850 when Prof Calvin e. Stowe, the
professor of Biblical Literature at
Lane Theological Seminary in Ohio.
received a call to become the first
professor of Natural and Revealed
Religion at his Alma Mater, from
which he graduated in 1924, he leased
the Titcomb residence. Mrs. stowe
and three of the children came to
Brunswick that spring, arriving here
in the month Of May, but Prof. Stove
found it impossible to leave Lane
Seminary at that time and he did not
join his family until year later.
Although it was in February that
Mrs. Stowe began the story of Uncle
Tom it was not until April that the
first chapter was sent to the National
Fra, Mrs. Stowe selling the story to
that publication for $500. 1t was an
nounced that the story would run for
three months and the first installment
appeared in June 1851. 1t was in
April 1852 that the last installment
appeared, Mrs. Stowe finding herself
| unable to cOnfine the story to the
| length she originally intended. The
| story was at once reprinted in book
| form and within four months from
| the day the first book was sold all
| danger of further financial trouble in
the Stowe family was passed, she hav-
| ing received $4,000 in royalties In
| 1852 Prof. Stowe accepted to call to
| become a professor at Andover and
took his family to that town during
the year.
| The house in which Uncle Tens
Cabin" was written is now occupied
by Stephen c. Whitmore and his sis
ter, Miss Helen Whtmore. 1t is one
of the most interesting houses in
Brunswick and is frequently visited by
strangers in town.

Brunswick, Me-, Feb. 22.-(Special.)
on the summit of the hill stands a
handsome twO-Story frame house in
which fifty-nine years ago this month,
was written story which shook the
entire country. The story was first
published in The National Era, a
Washington, d. c., magazine. Then
it appeared in book form. Edition
after edition was rapidly sold. The
book was reprinted in foreign Ian
guages and today it is said that the
story has been read by more people
than any other book ever printed with
the single exception of The Holy
Bible.
Little did Harriet Beecher Stowe
realize the Importance OF the work
which she began in that house on
February day. She had been full of
family troubles. Finances were low

Withal she was an ardent Christian
and faithfully attended the First
Parish Congregational church. One
Sunday afternoon while at communion
Mrs. Stowe was startled by a vision
which appeared so clearly she later
said it seemed like the unrolling of a
picture. 1t was the deathbed scene
of faithful old Uncle Tom. She was
so moved that during the remainder
OF the service she could think of lit

home on Federal street she shut her
self in the dining room where she die
