cessive terms were taught at Bailey's
Island. At the end of that period the
ship industry suffered a sharp decline
and he was obliged to change his
plans.
In 1853, being then - years OF age,
he went to Dubuque. Iowa. and after
that to Galesburg, Ill. After passing
three years in the west he returned to
Bath and went to work in a clothing
store of a school time friend, Charles
Douglas Mr.. Douglas thought of
moving from Bath and among other
locations Investigated Skowhegan He
decided not to settle here himself, but
recommended the place to Mr. Estes
who came here and embarked in the
clothing business in 1861. His first
store was on Madison Ave. in the 10
cation now occupied by Steward &
Marston Co A year later he moved
to Water St. continuing his business
in the Pike building This occupied
a part of the locations whore now
stands the Norton Clothing Store
About year aftorWard Mr.. Pike built
new building for Mr.. Estes, nov oc-
cupied by the Mlburn Fruit Co. Mr.
Estes carried ON the clothing business
there for twelve years and then moved
into the Coburn Hall block. In 1888
partnership was formed under
the name of Estes & Ward, Charles f.
Ward, the present proprietor of the
Ward Clothing Store being the junior
partner. The business now conducted
by Mr.. Ward, is, therefore, continu-
alton CT that established by Mr.. Estes
SO years ago, he retiring in 1898.
Hon. Aionzo Garcelon appointed Mr..
Estes a member of his staff with the
title of Colonel in 1879, which position
he held for one year or more. He
was also appointed postmaster of
Skowhegan by President Cleveland for
four years terminating in 1898.
In the Masonic fraternity Col. Estes
has been somewhat prominent for
many years. He joined that order in
1858, and though he does not claim to
be the oldest mason in the State. he
is undoubtedly high up in the list of
the oldest ones. He has held promi-
nent positions in the several orders OF
the York Rite, the most important of
which was the two years as Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge,
During the day Saturday innumerable
letters and post cards, all congratula

RECOLLECTIONS OF A RESIDENT
OF ST. PAUL

Additional comment on our recent
publication about the toll bridge has
been received;
Editor Independence Reporter:
The writer born in 1922 offers a few
corrections on your account of the ac-
cident at the old Madison toll bridge
| remember among the stockholders a
man, George Gray, but he was not the
one entitled to be called Captain
This was his brother Joshua. George
Gray was greatly shocked at the death
of Mr. Fasset He doubtless felt that
the bridge owners had been negligent
and his CONSERVATION and regret were
such that he offered to surrender his
ownership in the bridge, if anyone
would assume such liabilities as went
with it. The bridge corporation was
doubtless liable for the property loss
and in addition $500, which was then
the legal compensation for a life lost
by neglect or carelessness Of anyone.
The date was probably about 1870.
Mr.. Fassett was probably more of
teamster than pedlar. He made it
a business to transport goods from Au
gusta to towns up the river. When
the fateful moment came the leaders
broke away but the pole horses with
the wagon and driver went through to
death on the rocks below.
