Order of the Patrons
of Husbandry,
commonly known as, The Grange,
is a fraternal order founded in 1867 as a
way to unite the farmer as the United States
recovered from four years of civil war.
Originally conceived by Oliver
Hudson Kelley, a freemason, as he
traveled through the war-torn South, it
quickly caught on among a group of friends
and associates when he returned to
Washington. As word of the Grange spread, it
quickly came to be seen as an advocacy group
for the farmer and all of rural America. The
Grange still exists today as a recognized
leader in rural and farm policy.

Lady Station Agent
Really on the map in the old days, Wales
even had a special Maine Central Railroad
Station on the line between Leeds Junction
and Crowley's Junction. Mattie M.
Clark, shown in picture, was the
agent many years. Winifred Ray of 5 Hunton
Place, Auburn, is the owner of the picture.
This spur was unused for several years
before being abandoned and the tracks
removed. At this point, there was a double
line because of a large brickyard in the
vicinity. No. 886. |
