|
|
|
| Daniel Cough (1840-1906) Daniel Cough's house - "The Della & Wills Dow House (Daniel Cough Homestead), Bernard circa 1868 - Daniel Cough, who was originally from China, built this lovely home on property purchased in 1868 from Dorcas Booth. Cough operated a store next door. The exterior of the house is basically unchanged, other than the addition of the door and porch on the north side, and the replacement of windows and siding. The interior has been renovated, replacing the pantry with a laundry and bathroom. In 1908, the original property was split between Ezra Cough and A. Bird Cough. Tax records reveal tha in 1912 Ezra R. Cough sold the house to Harold L. Holmes. The Dows acquired the house in 1952." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 10 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough's store - "The Rosemary & Robert Tilden House, Bernard circa 1878 - It would appear that the current house at one time was a store. It was occupied by Daniel Cough, then called "Old China." The original building may have been constructed as early as 1873. Cough heirs include Ezra R. Cough and A. Bird Cough. Other names on deeds include Omar W. Tapley, Mary Ethel Mitchell, George L. and Katherine M. Higgins, Kenneth Eugene Sawyer and Clifford S. and Rosemary W. Stillwell. According to the present owners [the Tildens], the house seems to have been "thrown together" using any scraps and spare lumber available. During renovation, the Tildens found a mail slot, a snack counter, remnats of Mitchell's ice cream shop and a horse whip." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 23 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough was also called "John Chiney" or John Chinaman. He is said to have opened his store in the 1860s. |

|
|
|
| “Maine – McKinley - The McKinley Fish & Freezer Co., recently organized, with S.S. Nickerson, president, is building a modern fish freezing and cold storage plant, the latter to have storage space for about 10,000 barrels of fish. Two 30-ton Palson absorption refrigerating machines will be installed. The sharp freezer, with capacity for about 200 barrels of fish per day, will be located on the third floor, all of which it will occupy, and will be piped with 25,000 feet of 1¼-inch d.e. piping. The two lower floors will be cooled by air circulation from the sharp freezer. A small ice making system will also be added. Plant is to be ready for operation in May. 1911.” – “Ice and Refrigeration” Vol. 39, by Southern Ice Exchange, published by H.S. Rich & Co., p. 317, 1910. The building, always known simply as the "Cold Storage," became Sim Davis' boat shop, later was owned by the Hinckley Co., part of the Morris Yachts property in 2008. Perry Warrington Richardson (1839-1918) was an early President (1915) of the McKinley Fish & Freezer Co. His son, Herbert Perry Richardson (1863-1938) was the Treasurer. |  McKinley Fish & Freezer Co. The Cold Storage
