evangelical laborer in the wilderness
of this section, his work being among
the peaceful though powerful Cant
has tribe residing here. He re-
manned few years and gained a
great influence with the tribe. Then
came the long years Of. warfare, and
it was not until 1111 that the citi-
zens of Hallowell, then including
Augusta, petitioned the Plymouth
Colony for lot of land for meet
ing house, also voting money to sup
port preaching. BY the drawing of
lots it was decided to builu the struc-
ture on the east side, and If 1t had
been built at once it's location would
have been at what is now pettengills
Corner. The erection was postponed,
however, for lack of money, and
when the matter came up again the
west side won with the greatest num-
Der of votes.
It was erected in Market Square,
being begun in 1882 and soon ready
for occupancy though not fully COM
pleted until 1898. 1t was a plain
frame structure, 3Gx50 feet and with
u #. posts. There We're 46 pews and
four benches for free seats. There
was a gallery on three sides and
most of the seats here were free.
The pulpit was reached by flight
of nine steps, and the building was
entered by porch two stories high
and ten feet square. This meeting
house cost the town 81 30 in the

camped at Fort Western for nine
days, making the final preparations
tor it long march through the Wild
erness. General Arnold and some of
his officers were entertained at the
so-called "Great-Uouse' of Capt.
Howard, a mile above the Fort.
Among the officers of this famous
expedition We're u number whose
names became more familiar to the
world in later yearS-Cadet Aaron
Burr, afterwards vice president,
Captain Henry Dearborn, afterwards
secretary OF war and the commander
of the national forces in the second
war with Great Britain Captain
Daniel Morgan. the famous ritieman
leader; and others.
One tragedy occurred during the
brief stay of this expedition at the
fort. AS the outcome Of quarrel
among the soldiers, John Mccormick
shot and killed Reuben Bishop. A
court martial sentenced Mccormick
to be hung at once, but General Ar
mold stayed the execution and sent
the man back to Massachusetts with
a recommendation for mercy to Cen
eral Washington. In later years
. Willow street was laid out over the
unheeded grave Of the murdered
| soldier, Bishop.

Augusta's First Church

The first place OF worship erected
in Augusta was that of Father Druil-
cites, an humble log chapel standing
in an unbrokCn forest on the shore
of the Kennebec about three miles
above the bridge and called the Mis-
sion of the Assumption. This Jesuit
priest came from Quebec in 1876

money of today, besides a public
subscription Tor glazing the inside
finish which was paid for by the
sale of the pews. 1t was used also
for town meetings and on public oc-
CaSionS for q number of years. Then
it became out of repair and the par
ish, having a new abode, entirely
deserted it. In 1910 it was taken
down and removed to Winthrop
street where it was used as u town
house and for the lyceum meetings,
and later was known as Friends
Chapel and the Waverly Hall. Dur
ing the Civil War it was used as q
hospital for sick soldiers in the
| camps here. The present South Par
ish Congregational church is but a
descendant of the old South Congre-
gational parish which was in reality
the one which built this first meet
| ing house.
The Early Court House
In 1890 a frame court house was
! erected at the foot of Winthrop
street near the present railroad
/ crossing. This was used for II
years, the town being with Dresden
% coordinate shire town of Lincoln
| County. On February 20. 1899. Ken
ncbec County was set off from Lin
coin County and Incorporated, Aux
gusta being made the shire town.
While it was still a part of Halo
well the village was commonly
| known as Hallowell Court House.
and this name chung 10 it for many
| years, it being also known in turn
rs the Fort, Harrington and then
a ugusta.
