To the Voters OF Sk0whegan

Sometime in February 1889 neigh
Dor, Captain Alonzo Richardson, call
ed at my house to tell me that George
HAYES up at the village wanted to
see me about town meeting l was
then living at my farm on the Pishon S
Ferry road There was no rural
telephone in those days and no rural
mail delivery So though my curios-
ity was aroused | had no way of find
ing out what was wanted until came
TO town. A few days later | called at
the Holbrook and Halves store, a pie
ture of which as it then looked was
recently published in this paper. Mr..
Halves told of a plan to run William
B. Snow for First Selectman and Levi
G. Emery for Second Selectman.
Quite to my surprise he suggested that
| run for 3rd. | was elected, and with
the exception of 1902 have served I'M
til the present time. Besides Mr..
Snow and Mr.. Emery. my associates
have been: Llewellyn Goodwin, John
H. Mitchell, S. H. Bradbury, A. H.
Wyman. W. G. Nash, w. II. Wildes, II.
n Pratt, John II. Lancaster, Geo. l..
Nay, Henry Demo- and c. II. futile
The town of Skowhegan came into
existence February 10. 1861. Just Sd
years ago. 1t is hard for me to realize
that my term of service as selectman
pretty nearly a generation. When |
took office, Skowhegan had a total
valuation of $2,998,685 and was rails
ing annually about $4,000 for town
expenses. The valuation is now almost
$4,000,000 and the amount raised by
taxation has been something over
100000 for several years past. II
may be of interest to note that, some
thing like IL years ago. before we
built the north channel bridge, we
came to a point where the last dollar
of indebtedness was paid. Finding
we should have funds to accomplish
this result, made trip to Franklin
county, across country, to find the
lady who had the only note then out
standing and induce her to accept
payment somewhat in advance of the
date the note was due.
In the multiplicity of things which
crowd upon a selectman for attention
there are plenty of chances to err in
Judgment. No one should expect to
find man, human in every other sit
uation, anything else when elected to
town office | am conscious of having
made a faithful effort to serve the
town well. In the main you have been
very generous in your commentator
and very courteous in your criticisms.
| leave the office with very pleasant
recollections of my associates and
shall not allow myself to doubt that
practically all of my fellow townsmen
are genuinely friendly toward me,
| am told that no instance is known
in this, or any other State where Sc
lectman has served as long as | have.
If this is so it is only reasonable per-
haps that l look back upon the past
25 years with some pride. / wish to
thank very sincerely those who have
voted for me at successive elections
through all this time, especially the
434 people who supported me last
Monday.
Sincerely yours,
r. Francis Parker.

HISTORY OF BETHANY
BAPTIST CHURCH

Prosperity seems to have been with
the society and its various branches,
but no important events appear to
have occurred for few years. On
May 80, 1898, Rev. C. V. Hanson who
had been with the church since its or
ganization, rendered his resignation,
owing to poor health. In February,
1899, call was extended to Rev. DR..
William H. Spencer of Waterville, who
became pastor March 9Th of that year
1t was in September, SO, that the Beth
any Church entertained the Kennebec
Association for a second time, the rec
ords indicating that the sessions were
full Of interest On November Il,
word was received of the death of be-
loved DR.. Hanson, the one time pastor
and friends of the Bethany people. Nu-
merous former parishioners went from
Skowhegan to attend the funeral, the
remains being inferred in Evergreen
Cemetery. A memorial service was
held in the Bethany Church, at which
a poem, written by Miss Louise H. Co.
burn was read. Near the altar Of
the Church there Is now tablet, upon
which Is cut a memorial to Dr. Han
son. His son Rev. Harold Hanson Is
now pastor of a church at Charles
town, Mass.
Early in 1900 a series of special re-
vival meetings were held from which
arose excellent results, while in Janu-
airy, 1903, similar services were held
at Bethany and elsewhere in town.
On March q, 1904, the records of
the Church say: "a great sorrow
has come to Bethany, Pastor Spencer
has resigned. On that day letter
was read to the Church people from
DR.. Spencer, in which he rendered his
resignation, feeling that after five
years of service as their minister, it
was time for him to retire from most
of the activities of a minister's life
He was given a unanimous appeal to
remain, but after due consideration,
he did not feel that he could longer
stay with the parish April "A he
preached his last sermon in the
Church. He went from here to Cam
bridge, where he has since resided
He had not held a regular passionate
since leaving Skowhegan, but has
been engaged to some extent in supply
work.
Herewith is published a letter from
DR.. Spencer lately received at this
office.
