JUDGE TURNER BUSWELL
The late Turner Boswell of Scion
was the son of Joseph P. and Julia
Ann (Turner) of Norridgewock, and
was born i'm Scion, Nov. 30, 1874. HIS
entire life was spent as resident
of Scion. At the age OF eighteen
years he opened drug store In
Scion village. which he carried on
until 1881 when he sold to Leslie W.
McIntire, present druggist. In the
meantime he studied law with the late
Albert H. Ware of North Arson and
was admitted to the bar in 1878. He
was married to Anna Black, daughter
of Hazen and Mary Ann Bray Black
August IA, 1869, who survives him.
He was elected Judge of Probate in
1885 and held the Office until 1897. he
was the first lawyer In Somerset
County to be elected to that office.
The first will entered for probate az
ter he became Judge was that OF FIX.
Gov. Coburn. He subsequently be-
came agent for the Coburn Estate ana
continued that work for eight years.
He was of studious habit as his life
work shows. He made himself FAM
liar with many subjects and was
constant source of information 10
every one who asked for 1t, many
times making research to gain in
formation which he desired and also
to help others In their work. For
many years he carried on the Turner
farm in Norridgewock and 1t was
really an experiment station. He was
at one time superintendent OF the pulp
mill in Embden from 1893 to 1900. VI
late he has been associated with
others in the Scion Creamery and was
very much interested in the work.
His law Office Is full OF data which he
has gathered in his long life of study
and probably no one In the county
had so much information concerning
land titles and early settlers as he.
He was a court surveyor and traveil-
ed extensively in that work, In fact,
that was his vacations, for he never
took time off for real rest. His life
should be an inspiration to those who
are denied school privileges, for he
certainly studied all his life, not only
to crafty his own desires for know
ledge, but to diffuse 1t.
Judge Boswell was a member OF
Keystone Lodge OF Masons, Eastern
Star and in each lodge had held the
highest Office and was secretary OF
Keystone lodge 81 years in succession.
He was a member OF Somerset Bar
Association and also North Somerset
Grange. He will be missed for long
time. The name Buswell has been
connected with Solon's history since
1909 when Asa Buswell, grandfather
of Turner Boswell, was the first town
treasurer.
