    ISAAC MAINE -- The Maine family of which Isaac Main was representative were farmers of the town of North Stonington, New London county, Connecticut, where Isaac Maine, his father Prentice Maine, and his grandfather all occupied in turn the old home farm in District No. 67, North Stonington. There Isaac Maine, to whose memory this review is offered, lived and died, tilling the home acres as a boy and man until the close of his long and useful life. Three years prior to his death he deeded the old farm to his son, Thurman P. Maine, who later deeded it to Isaac Maine, Jr., only reserving enough land for a home plot on which he built his own residence. Isaac Maine, Jr., took possession of the farm, April 1, 1912, and six days later, April 7, 1912, he died. The father survived his son three years, the mother still residing (but not in the same house) on the old farm to which she came a bride forty-four years ago.
    Isaac Maine, only son of Prentice and Ann (Miner) Maine to survive infancy, was born July 8, 1833, and died at his home at the Maine homestead on April 30, 1915, in North Stonington, New London county, Connecticut, where his life has been spent. His only sister, Eunice Ann, married John D. Babcock, of North Stonington, and is now deceased.
     He attended the public district school, and when quite young he became his father's farm assistant and was his right-hand man until weight of years compelled him to retire in favor of his son Isaac. Finally Prentice Maine passed away at the age of ninety-four, and Isaac became the owner, as he had long been the manager, of the homestead farm. He added to the area of the Prentice Maine farm and continued its owner until 1912, when he was succeeded by his son, Isaac, Jr., who as stated before, died six days after coming into possession. After the death of his father in 1890 Isaac Maine built a new residence on his farm, moving out of the hold homestead and occupying the new home until 1912. His health having failed, he sold the farm to his son, Thurman P., and built on the tract he had reserved for that purpose still another residence on the home farm, and there lived until his death three years later. Mr. Maine was a successful farmer and cattle dealer, noted for his upright and honorable life. He was a Democrat in politics, but never sought public office, his business and his home filling his cup of life to the brim with contentment and happiness. He was a member of the Second Baptist Church of North Stonington.
    Isaac Maine married, at Ashaway, Rhode Island July 30, 1877, Betsey Ann Maine, born in Ledyard, New London county, Connecticut, April 11, 1848, daughter of Amasa Morgan and Lucy Orey (Frink) Maine. Her father was born in Ledyard, where he engaged in farming, and her mother was born in North Stonington. Mrs. Maine survives her husband and continues her residence in North Stonington. Nine children were born to Isaac and Betsey Ann Maine:
     1. Isaac (2nd) born July 6, 1878, married Nellie J. Chapman, and died at the home farm, April 7, 1912, leaving two children, Dorothy Evelyn, wife of Edward O'Leary, of We4sterly, Rhode Island, and a daughter, Violet Marie Maine.
