Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Sangerville, Maine, 1814-1914: Proceedings of the Centennial Celebration, June 13, 1914 At a. M. A parade of oats, antiques, etc., numbering in all about sixty, accompanied by three bands of music from Guil ford, Monson and Milo, headed by James Lynch who acted as chief marshal, marched through the principal streets of Sangerville and Guilford villages. It was an excellent representation of historical features of the town of both the past and present. At the head of the line was a small body of men attired to represent the Red Men as they would have appeared one hundred and thirteen years ago when that territory was a primeval wilderness. The next was a log cabin on which was inscribed The first house in Sangerville, built by Phineas Ames in Another interesting antique was an old hand loom, being operated by some one weaving cloth who impersonated a housewife of the olden days; this was followed by a loom of the latest type making cloth as it is made today in the factories of Sangerville. There was a large assemblage of people from Sangerville and adjoining towns, and it was estimated that they numbered several thousand.
