You may click on it to enlarge.       Detail of a hand drawn map (dated 1805) of a plot of land in the original plan for the Town of Vienna. The map is signed by the noted land surveyor Jedediah Prescott of Winthrop, Maine.        Above are excerpts from letters of the family of Milton Bradley (born Vienna, Maine 1836) to George Bradley Whittier (Milton's first cousin). These two examples are written in 1840 by the parents of Milton Bradley (Lewis and Frances Lyford Bradley) and describe the pesky Milton in his toddler stage.  There is also historically important material from the Bradleys having to do with their Starch Mill in Mercer. These letters are part of a large lot of very early deeds, indentures and correspondence from early Vienna settlers that include the Whittier, Mooers, Bradley, Sanborn and Brown families. Some of the earliest (18th century) material is from Deerfield, NH which is from where many of Viennas earliest settlers came. --------------------------------------------------    1998 Nissan Sentra with all the options. 32,500 original miles. --------------------------------------------------         GOULD AUCTION COMPANY is  pleased and honored to have been chosen as auctioneer's of the Estate of Dorothy Sanborn Waugh of Vienna, Maine. Dorothy and Clyde Waugh spent their days being "Good Citizens" and loved their town as well as their many friends in the community. Active in every civic, fraternal and faith guided way, they grew to exemplify the meaning of "Good Neighbor".  Due to Dorothy's passing this past Spring, the contents of  Dorothy's  multigenerational Maine farmhouse and outbuildings will be sold without additions or reserves at the Gardiner, Maine Sportsman's Club on Saturday February 21, 2004. We will sell the tools, equipment and vehicles at 10 a.m. followed by the antiques and household contents at 12 noon.

We look forward to seeing you in Gardiner on Feb. 21, 2004 for a rare, untouched ESTATE SALE !! -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
