Important Business
Before Skowhegan
Town Meeting of 1884

- With the annual town meeting
near, and bearing in mind the i'm
mense amount of important BUSH
ness transacted on this day, It Is
interesting to note that first town
meeting held at the house Of Peter
Hayward, Jr., on the fifteenth of
March, 1884 at which the inhabitants
voted as follows:
Article 1. Chose Mr.. John White,
moderator.
Article 2. Chose Mr.. Samuel wes-
ton, Clerk of the Plantation.
Article 8. Chose Mr.. Solomon
Clark, Mr.. William Steward and Mr..
Robert Hood, assessors.
Article 4. Chose Mr.. Seth Wyman
and Mr.. Peter Hayward, collectors.
Article s. Chose Mr.. Phineas
Steward and Mr.. Daniel Smith to
notify the inhabitants, who live on
the river to work on the highway
division at Mr.. Isaac Smiths; Mr..
William Steward to notify those who
live on the Middle Road and Mr..
Samuel Emery those who live on the
third range of lots.
Article 6. Chose Mr.. Solomon
Clark and Mr.. Solomon Steward.
Surveyors. Meeting dismissed.
officers in the Plantation, but that
there had been men chosen or ap-
pointed before is proven by the fact
that the warrant for that meeting
was signed by Solomon Clark, Sam
uel Weston and Isaac Smith,
assessors for the Plantation of
Canaan.
Again and again the little Plan
tation talked of incorporation. In
November, >1784, they voted plan
for incorporation and voted to send
DIR. Whitaker to get the town in
corporated. January, 1875, Solomon
Clark, Samuel Weston and Robert
Hood were chosen committee to
petition the General Court for in
corporation, and again in December,
1885, "Voted to have new plan
made of the old Plantation of
Canaan agreeable to original land
marks and chose Samuel Weston
surveyor to make said plan and agree
to allow him one bushel of rye per
day for his services, and also chose
Solomon Clark, Perley Rogers and
Abram Steward to assist said sur
veyor and voted to allow each OF
them one-half bushel of corn per
day while they are employed in that
service"
After patient waiting, on June 49,
1888, the town of Canaan was in
corporated.
The first town officers of this town
were elected at the first town meet
ing held on August 81, 1888. Daniel
Cony was chosen moderator; Samuel
Weston, town clerk; Samuel Weston
John Fowler and Seth Wyman
selectmen and assessors; Levi Pow
ers. constable and Joseph Weston
treasurer. In 1890, Samuel Weston
was allowed eighteen shillings for
protracting and drawing a plan OF
the old Plantation of Canaan.
The early history of Canaan is thai
of the present town of Skowhegan
as no settlement was made within
the bounds of Modern Canaan until
about 1900.
