Winthrop. Me-. Mar. Fifty years
ago, Oh March 2, 1872, there took
place on Kent's Hill a wedding.
when Miss Abbie l.. Tinker, daugh-
ter of Ferdinand and Elmira ]. (Sko-
field Tinker, became the bride of
George L. Macomber, the ceremony
being performed by Prof. Morse of
that place. On Thursday March 2,
1922, members of the Methodist La
dies Aid and of the Sunday School
Class of which Mrs. Macomber is a
member, gathered at her home on
Main street to help celebrate the
Golden Wedding of their hostess and
her husband. A dinner was served
and a short literary and musical pro-
gram presented.
Mrs. Macomber, who was the
daughter of the late Ferdinand and
Elmira Skofield Tinker, was born in
Calais, in Washington County. While
she was yet a baby, less than year
old, her parents moved to Kent's
Hill where they lived for about ten
years. Her mother died in 1865 and
after two years her father married
again, this time to Mrs. Elvira Snow.
About this time he moved to VIM
throp where he afterward lived. Mrs.
Macomber has one sister, Mrs. Geor-
gia Michigan who is living with her
here in town this winter, and two
brothers. Charles Tinker of Auburn
and Fred B. Tinker of Boise, Idaho.
She is the direct descendant of one
of the Pilgrim Fathers who came
over in the Mayfower and whose
name is inscribed on the tablet at
Plymouth. Mr.. Macomber was born
in Plymouth. Mass, and when about
II years of age came, with his par
ents, to East Monmouth where his
father bought the farm now owned
by Frank Waugh. He was the son
of John and Eleanor Macomber, his
father being a mason by trade and
his mother school teacher. He
! lived in East Monmouth for about
eight years, going from that place to
Chatham, Mass, where he was en-
gagged in the fishing and lobster busi-
! ness for seven years, also being in
the employ of the Life Saving sta
! ton. From there he came to VIM
throp where he entered tie employ of
the C. NJ. Bailey Oiclotn Co. where
he worked until he purchased the
farm at East Monmouth. During
the years that Mr.. and Mrs. Macom-
Der lived at East Monmouth there
| were born to them seven children,
| five of whom are still living.
The oldest child, Mrs Herbert
Greeley, died about five years ago in
| Augusta. the second child, Mrs. Al
mira Lockwood dying four years ago
at her home in Waltham, Mass. The
next child. Warren V. Macomber,
lives in Winthrop. being in the en-
ploy of Wadsworth & WoCdman OIL
