Good VIII Home Association Has Had
But Two Presidents

1t is worthy of note that the Good
Will Home Association has had but
two presidents in her entire history
to the present. When the Associa-
ton was organized in 1889, Hon.
Moses Giddings of Bangor, Me. was
elected to the presidency and held
the office until 1905; he then resign
ed on account of a physical infirmity
at about ninety years of age, but held
the position long after he had given
up all other positions Judge Ma
thaniel Hobbs, whose death was an
nounced in the Good Will Record
was elected President of the Associa-
ton in 1905 and held the position I'M
til his death, September IS, 1916
Judge Hobbs was ninety-two years
and five days old when he died. In
this connection it is worthy OF note
that Mr.. l.. l.. Walton of Skowhegan
was elected at the first meeting of
the Good viii Home Association in
1889, and has been present at every
annual meeting in the Association S
history. Mr. r. A. Jordan of Ban
gor, who became a director at the
first meeting in 1889. and still holds
the position has failed to attend only
one or two of the annual meetings,
his absence being due to serious i'll
ness. G. w. Hinckley made a di-
rector in 1889 at the organization has
failed to attend but one annual meet
ing, the absence being due to illness
requiring him to spend several
months in the Maine woods.

The Screamer was published by DR..
Mann, many years ago. end probably
had brief existence There should
be plenty OF copies obtainable. how
ever, as the publisher was such
notable character that anything re-

treasured for its historic interest
The Working Man was OF still older
date and very likely was published
but few years. 1t is probable that
few copies of it, If any, have been
preserved. There should be many
copies preserved of the Argus and
the Independent as they were both
published in comparatively recent
times. We should be pleased to hear
from anyone who can supply us with
these missing issues.
