Book Description
Excerpt from History of Paris, Maine: From Its Settlement to 1880, With a History of the Grants of 1736 and 1771; Together With Personal Sketches, a Copious Genealogical Register and an Appendix It is the business of the local historian to collect and preserve such incidents relating to towns as would be overlooked by the writers of general history. His work is to gather from State and county archives, recorded facts relating to the foundation of municipalities, but more especially to preserve from destruction the contents of fugitive papers, and to glean from the weakening memories of aged citizens, the facts and traditions which, by their death, would soon be forever lost. Desire to do this for the town of Paris, prompted the compilers to gather up the scattered material relating to its history, and put it in a form to be preserved. Had the task been undertaken a few years ago, before all the first settlers died, it would have. Been easier of accomplishment, but it is much easier now than it would be a quarter of a century hence. Mercenary motives had no pait in our undertaking, for no money is ever made in publishing a town history; it is generally a labor of love and quite frequently a thank less task. Of the compilers, one is a native born of Paris, and has ever lived in the town, and also his father before him, his grand parents being among the early settlers. The other, though born in a neighboring town, spent his boyhood days upon the banks of the Little Androscoggin river in Paris; his grand parents and great grand parents were early here, and his near kindred have always lived in town; so that while. One is a. Native, the other is no stranger to Paris and its people. We bring therefore to this work, something more than a mere desire for gain; we bring to our self imposed task. A love for this good old municipality, and an ardent desire to gather up and preserve all the fragments of her history, that little if anything may be lost.

Book Description
Excerpt from Centennial of the First Baptist Church in Paris, Maine: Observed October 1st, 1891 If now we had a letter, or a diary, written by some one of those engaged in that work, and telling something, even if not much, about it, we should deem it almost priceless. Something of this kind we have in a faded but still legible manuscript from the pen of Elder Hooper. It is dated, May the 30 day It is not a letter though, nor a diary. It is a part of Elder Hooper's Dedication Sermon. It contains the Introduction, and the first and part of the second divisions of the discourse. It ends abruptly in the middle of a sentence of the second division, the following pages having in some way become separated from these and lost. The Introduction precedes, instead of followingtthe announcement of the text, thus having the place recently given to it by German preachers, instead of that which it has in English and American sermons. In it Elder Hooper spoke of the great changes made in Paris in the twenty-four years passed between the coming of the first settlers and the time when he was speaking; of the state of things then existing; of the movement which resulted in building the meeting-house; and of the raising of the house, which was a work of difliculty and danger, which those of the present generation, who have never seen such structures raised, and raised without the appliances and helps of modern art and machinery, - can hardly realize. Elder Hooper said III the year 1780 the first settlers came into this Town, the[n] called No. 4, the plase being then entirely new and no roads.

Pages : 376
Book Description
The culmination of years of meticulous research by the compiler, Early Families of the Cold River Valley: Stow, Maine & Chatham, New Hampshire, traces in great detail the first several generations of more than 150 families (representing over 100 surnames) that were early settlers of these two relatively isolated towns separated only by the state border. In addition, a wealth of information is included on the descendants of Stow and Chatham families who resided in nearby towns, including Fryeburg, Lovell, Stoneham, Norway, Paris, and Bethel in Maine, and Conway, Berlin, Shelburne, Bartlett, Jackson, and Milan in New Hampshire. A section containing several historic maps of each town completes the book, which serves as a genealogical supplement to David A. Crouse’s newly published History of the Town of Stow, Maine, and to his History of Chatham, New Hampshire, issued in 2017 by the Chatham Historical Society.
