      "In old State Militia times we had some of the best traine
      d and mostsoldierly companies in the State. Captain Davis Phillips, Captain EbenF. Pilsbury, Captain Henry Dolbier and Col. William Dolbier and manyothers won their military titles by service in the Militia."

      " In 1853 Wm. Dolbier and Jerry Larrabee built the blacksmith shop, alittle later . Mr. Larrabee sold out and for years Col. Dolbier ran theSmith shop and J. B. Mayo the carriage shop. In Oct. 1864 all of themills on the river and three sets of dwelling houses were burned in all13 buildings on which there was but very little insurance. Undismayed bytheir heavy losses owners resolutely went about the task of rebuilding.S. & C. W. French built saw mill, shingle and clapboard mill. Wm.Drummond the grist mill, S. H. Hinds the rake factory, Wm. and W. S.Dolbier the smith and edge tool factory and J. B. Mayo the carriage shop.Just two years later what is known as the pumpkin freshet washed out thedam and carried away all the mills except the rake factory which wasbadly damaged and the edge tool factory and carriage shop."

      " In 1866 there was an agitation started to build a church. Acorporation was organized composed of nearly all the prominent men intown among whom were: Solomon Stanley 2nd, E. S. Winter, Orrin Tufts,Charles F. Pillsbury, Emerson Bradbury, Wm. S. Gilbert, William R.Blanchard, William Dolbier, Isaac French and others. This organizationchose a President, a Secretary and Treasurer, also executive or buildingcommittee and the result of its labors was the erection of the SeniorChurch. "

      "One of the oldest framed structures in town is the Col. Wm. Dolbier'sresidence. The Colonel bought the lot of Gov. King in 1848 and purchasedthe Charles Pike store and moved it from the lot now occupied by the C.W. Clark drug store and finished it into a dwelling."
