Life Members of the Maine Missionary Society Who Were Recognized in the 1862 Annual Report


Included in a booklet entitled A Sermon Delivered in High Street Church, Portland, Before the Maine Missionary Society, June 25, 1862 and the Annual Reports of the Trustees and Treasurer is a list of those life members of the Maine Missionary Society who were recognized that year.

An image of the page of Life Members recognized and a transcription of their names and residences appear at the end of this post.

The booklet, which measures about 9" by 5-3/4", was printed in 1862 at the Kennebec Journal Office at Augusta, Maine.  Because the entire booklet is provided online by the Yale University library, I've scanned only a few images.

Other posts feature:


The sermon mentioned in the title was delivered by John O. Fiske, Pastor of Winter Street Church, Bath. Also in the booklet is the Fifty-Fifth Annual Report, which includes:

The list of those Life Members who were recognized since the prior publication.  As you can see, the members are listed in alphabetically by towns. After the images, you'll find a list of the surnames in alphabetical order, which is likely of more value to family history researchers.
