Vouchers-Town of Boothbay. Acc #06-10-118-125
These vouchers were issued by the town (signed by Selectmen) to various suppliers, workers, teachers, physicians, etc. for good sold or services rendered. The vouchers did not bear interest, and were payable by the Town Treasurer to the named Payee “or order” immediately after invoice. In essence, these vouchers appear to institute authorization by the Selectmen for the Treasurer to suppliers or providers of services.
With the exception of loose items, the vouchers are bound in separate groups which apparently reference page numbers of a corresponding Town ledger. The vouchers deal with such items as wood for schoolhouses, reimbursing the cost of paupers to those housing them, labor on highways, board of teachers, etc.

Document Box #48: BOOTHBAY HARBOR ADDRESS CHANGE, late 1990s
In conjunction with E-911 emergency phone system, most of the street addresses in the Harbor were changed. B. Rumsey got from the town a pre-E-911 1997 list, laid out by street, including map and lot numbers and names of owners. Also Rumsey got a set of tax maps at that time. In December 1999, Rumsey got a printout of town property owners laid out by map and lot, with names of owners and altered addresses. The aim was to be able to cross-reference and identify the old and new numbers for houses. #00-1-4.
Document Box #49: PAUL H. ABBOTT BUILDER COLLECTION
Closet in room 6
Acc. #00-1-2. Boxes 49-1 to 49-5
1. Title Page
Paul H. Abbott, builder. Collection dates 1938-1971. Collection number 00-1-2. Size - 5 acid-free boxes, each 16"L x 12.5" W x 10"H - Processed by Faith J. Meyer, January 12 - March 11, 2000.
2. Introduction
This collection of papers was given to the Boothbay Region Historical Society in January 2000 by Dorothy W. Abbott, widow of Paul H. Abbott. During an interview with her on February 18, 2000, and from Paul H. Abbott's obituary (November 8, 1990) information was obtained which contributed to the biographical note. The collection papers cover many of the years of Abbott's building business, affording views of his business and his practices.
3. Biographical Note
A native of Trevett (Barters Island), Maine, Paul Henry Abbott was born on September 26, 1907, and died in Boothbay Harbor on November 3, 1990. He was a graduate of Boothbay Harbor High School and Bridgton Academy. Abbott was a long-time member of several committees and service organizations in the community.
Dorothy W. Abbott stated that in his 20's Abbott built with his father, Actor T. Abbott, Sr. By 1931 Paul Abbott "was well-established when they were married" in that year. Over the 45-year period of his building business Abbott and his crew constructed many houses (at least 40) and other buildings (Boothbay Harbor Public Works, for example), as well as remodeling and/or rebuilding many cottages, homes, churches, and schools in Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor, West Boothbay Harbor, and on the Isle of Springs.
One of his long-term crew members was his younger brother, Actor T. Abbott, Jr. The business was conducted from his garage, constructed alongside his house on Howard Street, Boothbay Harbor, both of which he built in 1937.
During World War II Abbott worked for Sample's shipyard and the Brunswick Naval Air Station. Those positions and WWII itself may account for "no work" reported by Abbott on his Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Returns for 1943 and 1944.
On April 1, 1967, Abbott closed his building business.
4. Scope and content note
The collection is organized in 5 large acid-free boxes, yet not strictly chronologically. Each type of paper is not complete for the years of the business. Extrapolated from ledgers is a listing of contractees for whom Abbott worked. Selected packets of "paid bills" identified local businesses and others used by Abbott. Employer's Federal Tax Returns revealed the names of the men who worked for Abbott during some of the years of his business.

Document Box #61: Harriet Delamere Collection – Courthouse Documents #73-1-2
Harriet Isabelle Delamere
AKA Harriett Belle Delamere
Born Boothbay Harbor Maine circa 1880 to parents James Delamere and 2nd wife Hattie E. Sproul.
Both parents died June 1882, leaving Harriet an orphan at an early age.
Harriet went to live with her aunt, Emma Sproul, in the Brick House, Oak St., Boothbay Harbor, and attended Boothbay Harbor public schools, graduating from high school in 1896.
After teaching on Monhegan Island, Harriet trained as a nurse at the Boston City Hospital Training School for Nurses, graduating on May 21, 1910.
Her nursing career took her to service in the Army Nurses Corps and the American Red Cross during World War I from July 1918 to August 1919. She received the Victory Medal Service Ribbon with two bronze stars for participation in the St. Mihiel offensive and the Meuse-Argonne offensive. She also received a Foreign Service Certificate because she served on the Bureau of Nurses in France for the same period.
Extant papers reveal that Delamere was registered as a nurse in the Territory of Hawaii in Honolulu in 1921.
At some point, Delamere returned to the Brick House, inherited from her aunt, and died there on July 27, 1956.
