Bath Independent in Bath, Maine

Notable Maine Homestead Ties to Early Temperance Reform

The illustration names Mrs Josephine 2 and Mrs Lewis and mentions James McFadden of Arrowsle and Rev John McFadden born 1779. The old barn near the house was among Maine’s first rum free structures and drew criticism before admiration for McFadden's temperance stance. Mrs Lewis’s home sits east of Soldier's Point and Orgetown, Me, a landmark on summer routes Bath to the Islands. Mr Lewis, the current occupant, is described as bright and intelligent with coastal history tales shared with friends.
