Notes |
- He worked in the saw mills and lumber camps until six months before he came of age, when he bought his time and entered Cherryfield Academy. He continued his studies at various academies for the next five years, teaching in winters. For thirty years he taught school at Washington County, ME., and was one of the best known and most successful teachers in that section. He taught in Columbia Falls, Addison, Harrington, Mill bridge, Cherryfield, Josesport and Machias. He was a prominent leader in the Methodist church, a great reader and somewhat independent thinker.
"Henry another of John Sr. sons older than Taphenus lived here from 1867-1871 also lumbering and mill business. Then he turned into a student and became a teacher and a preacher and spent his life teaching and preaching in the surrounding towns. He taught 40 terms in the same school (Turkey Hill) going toward Geo. Norton's place on the right side of the road in old school house mother attended." Hazel Bradeen
