E. church Tuesday evening and & helpful and interesting sermon was given by Captain Wilbur of the Salva- tion Army. He took his text from | John 16. In his talk he brought out; the fact that the law fails to make men righteous and that love will bring { them to Christ and will transform their life from evil to good. After the sermon many came for- ward to offer up their prayers and to x salvation. There was one con- Recently in' New London, in the su- perior court, the case of the Uncas- ville Manufacturing company vs, C. M. Robertson company of Montville wa# tried. The controversy was over water |rights on the Oxoboxo brook in the town of Montville, the plaintiffs claim- ing that the defendants had raised a dam, to the detriment of their inter- ests, and the papers in the case stated at ;reat length the grounds on which the claims for damages were made. That was by no means the first contro- versy that has arisen over the water in Oxoboxo brook, the stream that is responsible for the location of so many manufacturing establishments in the town of Montville. Three Paper Mills Operated. The C. M. Robertson company has three big paper mills on the Oxoboxo. They are known as the Red, Rockland and Bank mills. At the Rockland property is also located a large paper box manufactcry which is owned by the Robertson interests. The Palmer Bros. quilt mill is one of the big industries of the town. The first use of the water privilege at that place was for a fulling mill. Later there was a gristmill there, later a distillery. In 1880 I . Palmer and others purchased the priv- ilege and began the manufacture of cotton ropes and twine. Later the quilt business was taken up on a very hose in charge of the meetings be- lieve that they are doing a great deal of good in getting people into Lhe habit of attending church services.

During the year 1826 Lorenzo Dow, the preacher, who made a reputation both in this country and on the other side of the water, by his sermons and his wit, owned a sawmill at the upper {end of the brook. He added four feel to the dam, giving as his excuse that he thought it would “better the inter- est of the mill owners below.” The owners of the Uncasville mill at that time, Peter and Henry A. Richards, did not seem' to believe that the preacher was worried so much 4 | about their benefits as he was about | his own and they brought suit against | him in the county court, in New Lon- business by withholding the water. Dow won the case the first time, but the plaintiffs took it to the superior wourt where a jury sat on the matter. | The result was a decision against Dow, | who was ordered to pay the plaintiffs $30 and costs for having interfered with their water rights. The costs in | those days were not as high as they .nre- now, but Lorenzo had $60.94 to | pay, and that seems to have injured | his feelings very seriously. Overflowed the Valley. | It having been adjudged that he had no right to hold the water back, he { proceeded to let it flow, and while he |was a very prominent exponent of Christianity, he indicated that he was not without spite in his makeup, for | he raised the gate and let the water qut of the pond as fast as it could go. { The result was an overflow all along | the valley and quite a lot of damage. \ Oxoboxo brook was originally known as Sawmill brook. It has been utilized {for furnishing power ever since the | settlement of the town. In his history | of Montville, Henry A. Baker gives the following facts in regard to the stream: Original Dam on Stream. “At the settlement of this town a dam was raised a few rods above jhe present structure, and a sawmill was set up, and afterwards a gristmill was started here by Jonathan Mynard. The mill site and a considerable portion of the adjoining land was conveyed by Owaneco, the chief of the Mohegans, Dec. 11, 1698, to Thomas Stanton of Stonington. Mr. Stanton afterwards conveyed it to James Harris, a land speculator, who sold it to Joseph Otis. Mr, Otis conveyed it to William My- nard, and Mr. Mynard left it by heir- ship to his son, Jonathan Mpynard, who by a deed of gift conveyed it to his son, Jonathan Mynard, Jr., and he to his son, Henry Mynard, and Henry Mynard conveyed it to Lorenzo Dow in 1825. The distance from this reser- voir to the outlet of the Oxoboxo stream, at the cove, into which it runs, is 1,860 rods, or five and four- fifths miles. The surface of the water in the reservoir, when full, is about 350 feet elevation from tide- water in the 'Thames river, it being an average of 20 feet fall to each mill privilege on the stream.” Dow Sold Out. After his unfortunate experience with the law, Lorenzo Dow decided that it would be better for him to sell out, and he disposed of his rights and title to Robert Bowser and Hezekiah Goddard of New London in November, 1829. The new owners soon after con- veyed the property to Charles A. and George R. Lewis. They had the dam raised several feet. A cotton mill was started near the dam and operated for several years in connection with their mill at Uncasville. There was a boarding house in connection with the mill, but nothing has been left for vears to indicate that there was ever a mill in that neighborhood. Since that time the reservoir has been used for storage purposes only. The dam is a massive piece of masonry, large enough at the top for a four-horse team to move around. For many years Deacon Ichabod Stoddard, now 89 years of age, now residing in Yan- tic, had charge of the dam for the Uncasville company, living on the com- pany’s property there. Dow Named the Reservoir. The name Oxoboxo pond was given to the reservoir by Lorenzo Dow. The Indians called it Opsobosket, or Little pond. The water privilege was orig- inally capable of furnishing power for all the mills along the stream, but they increased in number and size and now the water would hardly start the machinery in the larger plants. It helps, however, and as an auxiliary assists in reducing the cost of opera- tions during the time of the year when there is enough of a stream available to be of value. A little over a hundred years ago, according to Bakers’ history, all of the property on Sawmill brook was assessed for only 1$2,000. Those who are familiar with {the town at present understand what a wonderful development has been seen since that time. Old Montville Manufacturers. Years ago everybody in this part of the country was familiar with the virtues of Vincent's flannel and Scho- field’s satinet. Deacon Vincent’s mill was located near the present reservoir. There was a sawmill on the site first and afterwards an oil mill. Deacon Vincent took charge in 1829. He added to the building and put in ma- chinery. His product soon gained a wide reputation. The flannel was heavy and was used a great deal for making shirts for the whalemen who sajled out of New London and other New England ports. The quality was always excellent and the name Vin- cent was a guarantee that the pur- chaser would get his money’s worth. The deacon kept at the business until his death in 1878 and the fact that he acquired a large amount of property indicates that he found honesty in manufacturing was profitable. Schofield’s satinet mill was built in 1790. John Schofield bought the property in 1814 and went to making woolen goods. The satinet was con- sidered the most durable fabric in the market fer men’s clothing and it was utilized largely by those who engaged in rough labor, Honest materials were always used and the workman- ship was of the best, a combination that did net fail to be appreciated by the shrewd Yankees who always want- ed to get full return for the meney they spent. Just below the satinet mill Charles F. Scnofield carried on the manufac- ture of woolen geods fer many years. The Oakdale mill was formerly known as' Bingham's paper mill. James Bingham erected the stone structure in 1866 and operated it until 1880, when Palmer Bros. secured the preperty, and after enlarging it used it for the manufacture of bed quilts. It was afterwards leased to the Mas- sasoil combany of Fall River, don, claiming that he had injured their |@ | Miss Elizabeth Malone. limited scale, but the business flour- ished and now is one of the biggest of the kind in the country. Further down the stream s the stone mill that for many years was operated by the late R. G. Hooper. It is still known as Hooper's mill to the | older people, although it has been op- erated by several other comp: since his death, and is now used as a manufactory for strawboard and other paper products. Mills at Uncasville. Still lower down the stream is the Pequot mills, then at Uncasville the big plant the Uncasville Manu- facturing com y is still doing busi- John dye mill, one of :L\e} ies nd older manufactories, has given wa~ to | the approaches of the Thames Special- ties company on the river bank. It was near the mouth of the Oxo- boxo breok that the first machinery for the manufacture of woolen cloth in Connecticut was operated by water power. John and Arthuyr Schofield started the mill in 179 | In the old days the first thing to be considered in establishing a mill was cheap power, and there is nothing cheaper than er. On that account | the Oxoboxo privilege attracted manu- facturing from the earliest lim‘s.‘_ There are some disadvantag how- ever, connected with manufacturing at | a distance from the railroads. For | years it was necessary to cart the raw material over the by no means: fine | roads from the railroad station to the | most remote mill and bring the fin- | ished product back for ~n.pm« nt its destination. Besides to be hauled a similar distan ! money spent in teaming in connection | with ihe operations of the Montville | mills must have been a tremendous | sum.
