Description
John Martin (1832-1904), a Bangor accountant and shopkeeper, made this sketch on Sunday, July 16, 1865. He wrote "moved there June 1832" and "These premises were burned house barn and out buildings in the fall of 1865."
It most likely is the Skinner Farm in Brewer where his stepfather and mother, Solomon and Anna Stratton Martin Raynes moved in June 1832.
The illustration was loose among Martin's four volumes of writings and illustrations about his life and surroundings.
