Marsha Eldredge, February 15, 1994:

"My grandfather, Edgar Bryant Dolbier, came to Newton, Mas
sachusettsaround 1890. The Stanley brothers, also from Kingfield, had opened a dryplate plant (photography) there. That's a long story in itself. Edgar'sbrother, Nathan B., also brought his family down to Newton for the samereason. They settled in and Edgar married Adelaide McCammon. They hadseven children, six boys and one daughter. Out of the seven, five hadchildren, eight girls and three boys.

"All of my uncles and aunt stayed right in the greater Boston area and wewere a close family. Now my cousins are scattered. With the exceptionof two, most are still here in New England. It was my uncle's and aunt'sstories about Kingfield and verbal histories of ancestors that promptedthis whole search."

Obituary provided by Charles Raymond:
BENJAMIN DOLBIER
In Lewiston, Aug 22, Benjamin Dolbier, aged 69 years. Bringing suddenand keen sorrow came the news of our brothers death to his old home inKingfield. Only a fort night before he had left us, the perfect pictureof health, and the promise of many years of usefulness seemed written inevery lineament of his venerable face. But suddenly as came thesummons, it found him ready. The faith he had cherished for so manyyears, in the changeless goodness of God, enabled him to repeat the Psalmof trust: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Iwill fear no evil, for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff theycomfort me.? Bro. Dolbier was born in the town of New Portland, butnearly his entire life was spent in the town of Kingfield. Whencomparatively a young man his wife died, leaving him the double duty offather and mother to his orphaned children. So well was this taskperformed that today a family of five sons and two daughters with homesof their own, rise up and call him blessed. Always ready to help thosein sickness and trouble, there is hardly a family for miles around whichhas not known him as an angel of mercy in times of affliction. Thoughtwice married both wives preceded him to the heavenly home. The funeralservices were held in the union church, Kingfield, in the presence of alarge company of relatives and friends. May the sweet memories of fatherand brother cheer and comfort the mourning hearts.
