281 A beautiful summer wedding was solemnized on Wednesday of last week at high noon at the home of Rev. and Mrs. H. Orrock of Santiago, when Miss Jennie Carlson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Carlson of Santiago, became the bride of William Orrock, son of Rev. and Mrs. Orrock. Rev. Orrock, father of the groom, performed the ceremony in the presence of 60 guests. The house was decorated with flowers and festooned with green streamers. The bridesmaids were Misses Annie Carlson and Annie Larson and the best men Frank Carlson and Dr. Orrock. The bride was gowned in white satin trimmed with crystal, and carried white lilies. A bounteous dinner was served on the lawn and many beautiful and costly presents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Orrock will reside in Santiago, where the groom owns a farm. We wish the newlyweds all joy and happiness. Family: William Fairier ORROCK / Jennie CARLSON (F128)
 
282 A visit was made to Benjamin Stanwood's place of birth in Eden, which is located in Mount Desert Island, Hancock County Maine. No additional documents were found to provide any insight into his life or that of his children while on the Island.

In The History of Penobscot County Maine (Cleveland, Williams, Chase & Co, 1882), the author indicates that in 1842 Benjamin Stanwood left his home in Eden and came to Township No. 2, now known as Woodville (page 512). One of the family members of Benjamin Stanwood is credited with naming the town in both the previous publication as well as in the small publication, Maine Place Names and The Peopling of Its Towns by Ava Hariet Chadbourne (page 66).

On the 1850 U.S. agricultural census, Benjamin is listed with 400 acres of land in West Indian Township. Of this, 60 acres had been improved. He had livestock, crops and other items, providing a total property value of $500 and livestock value of $220. On April 20, 1854, Benjamin purchased 200 acres of land in Township No. 2. Another deed is located for the purchase of Lot 32 for $350 from J.A. Cushing, who had previously acquired the land from Nathaniel Swett. Benjamin quickly resold the lot as well as lots 24 and 25 to Timothy Fuller on 25 August 1855 for $1500. Apparently Mr. Fuller was unable to pay the taxes, as all three lots were purchased from the Treasurer with a tax deed by Nathaniel Swett and again resold to Benjamin on 29 May 1857 for a mere $200.

Benjamin was not listed on the 1860 census with his family, who resided in Woodville. He is also missing from the 1870 census after the clan had removed to Monticello, Wright Co, MN. Benjamin is assumed to have died in Penobscot County, Maine, sometime between 1855 and 1860. However, no record of his death has been located with either Woodville or Chester Town Clerks. A search of the Upper, Lower, Scott and Spencer cemeteries was completed in the town of Chester, as well as the only small cemetery that is found off of Highway 116 in Woodville. While a headstone was not located for a Benjamin Stanwood, it appears very likely that his death was never recorded by the Town Clerk and he was buried without a grave marker. At the time of Betsey (Wasgatt) Stanwood's death in January 1874, the author of her obituary indicated her husband Benjamin had preceded her in death. 
STANWOOD, Benjamin (I1947)
 
283 A. Stanwood of Northfield, Minn., was found in an unconscious condition this morning in a lodging house at 25 Washington avenue N. He was taken to the city hospital, where is stated that he had undoubtedly taken a dose of laudanum. He is in critical condition, and the hospital physicians have but little hopes for his recovery. Stanwood comes from a good family, and is the father of four boys. He has a number of teams, which he hires out for harvesting, and was considered by his friends in comfortable circumstances. It is known that he brought quite a little sum of money with him to the city, but not a cent of it remains. It is believed that having either spent or lost all his money, he became despondent and took the poison. STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)
 
284 A.J. Stanwood is the plaintiff in a suit begun in the district court today against Charles H. Kelly. The parties were copartners in a threshing machine business that they conducted in North Dakota.  The plaintiff claims that the defendant took possession of $3,000 in cash belonging to the copartnership and left the state.  He asks for a restitution of the money, for the appointment of a receiver and for an accounting. STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)
 
285 A.J. Stanwood of Floodwood, Minn. came down this weekend and visited his daughter, Mrs. Hason Cravens a few days. Vernon Cravens who had been visiting at Floodwood, returned home with his grandfather. STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)
 
286 A.J. Stanwood, formerly a resident of this place, had the misfortune to lose a valuable team by drowning in the St. Louis river near Floodwood last week. Melvin Stanwood, the teamster, narrowly escaped drowning in trying to save the team. STANWOOD, Melvin Scott (I1917)

288 A.M. Palon, a prominent business man of Dundas, was in the village yesterday on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Stanwood and other friends. While here he made the UNION a pleasant call.

He left on the morning train, in company with Mr. Stanwood, for a cruise in the lumbering district of St. Louis county. STANWOOD, Albert Jerome (I2622)

296 According to Eben Hamor, Stephen and Deborah (Wasgatt) Higgins "settled on the east side of Main Street near where Miss Mariam Higgins house now stands, Bar Harbor." WASGATT, Deborah (I1886)
 
297 According to Ethel Stanwood Bolton, Samuel and his wife Hannah had thirteen children; however, only three children are listed in Vital Records of Gloucester Massachusetts Volume I - Births. However, the couple is said to have removed to Amesbury between 1695-1698. STANWOOD, Samuel (I202)
 
298 According to the Pioneers of Penobscot Volume 6 (page 27), we know the following about Thomas Wescott (Wasgatt/Westcott, Westgate):

He was one of the Phillips town men who signed the 1752 and 1756 petitions to erect the town of Sanford, which was done in 1768. York deeds v 35 p222 lists Thomas Wescott in Sanford on 31 March 1759 when he testified about a house inhabited by John Stanyon.

"Thomas Wescott served as a soldier at Fort Pownall from 16 July 1759 to 6 April 1761 as corporal and 7 Apr 1761 to 31 Aug 1762 as a private (Massachusetts Archives v98 p164, 419; v99 p188). He headed the Majabagaduce petition which has several times been inadequately transcribed for both text and signers."

W.M. Pierce in Old Hancock County Families, 1933, page 91, states "In 1763, Thomas Wasgatt was living in what is now Penobscot, or vicinity. About 1765, he bought of Capt. Ebenezer Thorndike a proprieter's rights in Township No. 1 (now Trenton, parts of Hancock and Ellsworth, and Lamoine), where he settled; and where he built a mill at the head of Jordan's River. In or before 1790, Thomas Wasgatt settled at what is now Bar Harbor.

"It is claimed that Thomas Wasgatt was of German ancestry. He was a committee member on Mount Desert Island; also, a surveyor of highways."

300 According to the History of Penobscot County Maine (Cleveland: Williams, Chase & Co. 1882, page 263), W.H. Maling was "one of the oldest lumberman on the Penobscot," having gone into the lumber business at the age of 16. In 1847 he moved to Lincoln, Penobscot Co, ME, and in 1862 to Brewer, where he was living at the time of publication in 1882. He also resided in Medway and Winn previously.

In Thayer & Ames' publication, Brewer, Orrington-Holden, Eddington History and Families (Brewer: L.H. Thompson, Inc. 1962), the authors state, "W.H. Maling, born May 7, 1825, was one of the oldest lumberman on the Penobscot River. He went into the lumber business at the age of sixteen and settled in Brewer in 1862, after having lived in Lincoln, Medway and Winn. He was connected with the Milford Land and Lumber company and is said to have explored and located as much timberland as any other man on the river." 
MALING, William H (I887)
