1892-1898 Journal of the Methodist Episcopal Sociable at Pembroke, Maine


1898-1905 journal of the Methodist Episcopal "Sociable" at Pembroke, Maine.  There was a reference to the Iron Works Church, so this organization may have been associated with that church, though there was at least one other in the town.  Read more about the Iron Works here.

See the next journal in succession, covering the years 1898 to 1905.  More journals are available, from 1892 to 1926.

Found at the end of this post:
  • an alphabetical surname list
  • an alphabetical list of names found within the journal, many repeated dozens of times; corrections welcome!
  • images of all pages in the album

The journal, one of several found, measures approximately 8-1/4" by 7".  It was kept by several of the members serving terms as secretary, with varying handwriting and spelling.  If you notice errors, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

One page consists of the names of members.  [Click on any image to enlarge it.]

    1. It may actually be "Polk" I'm a Polk from Calais Maine and Pembroke isn't too far off. There are the POLK's and the PULK's
