Description
Excerpt from The History of the Town of Bowdoinham: 1762-1912
Another consideration which should be taken into account is, that the only records of the town matters in existence from 1762 - (when the town was organized - to 1820 when the Dis triet of Maine was set off from Massachusetts) were written in the sketches by the author in 1884, the original town records having been consumed in the fire which destroyed Capt. Andrew Curtis'' house in June, 1900; so if any part of the town records are ever preserved it needs to be done immediately from these sketches as only two copies of those papers published in 1884 are in existence. Delays mean a complete loss of everything pertaining to our town history. So the importance of this mat ter was not only one of concern to the author personally, but to the people of Bowdoinham who should take great pride in pre serving their records.
