1871-1890 Ledger; possibly of Nathan King (1804-1883) and then his son Nathan Dyer King (1842-1933) of East Lamoine, Maine; many names of People and Vessels

1871- 1890 ledger, measuring approximately 6" by 4", that appears to from the area of Lamoine, Maine, as many of the names in the ledger match names buried in area cemeteries.  

The ledger may have belonged to Nathan King (1804-1883) of East Lamoine, Maine, and then his son Nathan Dyer King (1842-1933).

In addition to mention of provisions and a farm, the ledger also mentions Rockland, the Hancock House and implies a partnership of men in various coastal trading vessels. Some mentioned:

• Schooner Corabell or Carobell; 1872; 1873; 1884
• Schooner Hattie White; 1873
• Schooner ? Mononegan; 1878
• Trailing Sails of Ellsworth, Captain John B. Linscott
• Schooner Scud; 1880:1883.  
• Schooner Lamoine (sailed for Ponce on April 27, 1883)

The right page below, in the lower right corner, mentions the sail of the Lamoine to Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Surnames in the Ledger - many are mentioned multiple times. I may have misread some of the names or they may have been spelled in variant ways.

	?	S	Hamor	S	Scott
A	Alley		Higgins		Simpson
B	Barbbet		Hodgkins		Smith
	Beckard		Holt	T	Trevett
	Berry	J	Johnston	U	Unitarian
	Brewer	K	Kelley	W	Wasgatt
C	Cooledge		King		West

	Crabtree		Lynam	Y	Young
D	Desiles	M	McCoy
G	Gilbert		Milliken
	Googins	P	Perry
	Gould	R	Richard

The first end paper in the ledger has the names E. L. Higgins and Nathan King, East Lamoine, Maine. It may have been Nathan King who owned the ledger, but I'm not sure.

• Capt. Eben L. Higgins (1808-1900) or his son Eben L. Higgins (1845-1916), Jr.
• Nathan King (1804-1883) or his son Nathan Dyer King (1842-1933)

1892 Dance Card for Supper & Dance at the Grange Hall at North Jay, Maine

1892 Supper and Dance Program, with Dance Card, Grange Hall, North Jay, Maine, on Thursday evening, January 28, 1892.

No names printed on the front, but the owner of this program mentioned the names of dance partners on the reverse:

• A. R. Kyes (twice) - perhaps Arthur R. Kyes (1869-1934)
• A. C. Macomber - perhaps Arthur C. Macomber (1871-1950)
• H. H. Allen - perhaps Heber H. Allen (1860-1936)
• J. W. Cox - perhaps John Wesley Cox (1859-1946)
• F. N. G. 

At one time, even possibly as late as 1892, it was considered daring if a woman danced with the same man more than once, unless she was engaged or married. Interestingly, there's a record showing that Arthur M. Kyes married Ella M. Davenport in 1893. Perhaps this was Ella's card, and perhaps she was already engaged to Arthur or perhaps it was the sight of Ella dancing with the others that got Arthur to propose?

If you have information on the dance partners, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
