  • Tremont, Bernard
"Ida Miriam (Lewis) Dix (1869-1956) was a great-granddaughter-in-law to William Dix Jr. (1776-1814). Ida Miriam Lewis was born on January 29, 1869 to Stephen A. Lewis and Mary J. (Comeau) Lewis in Waterford, Nova Scotia. Ida came to Tremont in 1884 when she was 15. When she was 18 she married Hiram A. Dix Jr. (1861-1947) a fisherman, son of Hiram A. Dix and Emily Jane (Norwood) Dix, on March 15, 1887 in Tremont, Maine. In 1895 the Dix family acquired their house in Bernard, Maine. Hiram and Ida moved to Portland in 1918 and stayed there until 1950 when they came back home to “Dix Cottage” in Bernard. They had come there for summer vacations while they lived in Portland. Hiram fished out of Portland, probably on a trawler, for all his working life. Ida Miriam (Lewis) Dix died on July 12, 1956 at the hospital in Bar Harbor, Maine."

"A typical Maine fishing crew. The men of the schooner "Emma" of Swan's Island gathered near the mainmast for a group portrait at Bernard Harbor in the town of Tremont, following a trip to the offshore grounds, c. 1900. Judging from the tubs of trawl along the port rail (center-right), they have been ground fishing. The "Emma" was an 81-ton (n.m.) vessel built at Bath in 1883. Note the crew's leather boots, standard fishing apparel throughout the nineteenth century." - "The Maine Sea Fisheries: The Rise and Fall of a Native Industry, 1830-1890" by Wayne M. O’Leary, 1996

The house was built by John "Talking John" Melbourne Rich, the first of his three houses. John owed his Uncle Jonathan Rich (1836-1907) a sum of money, so he swapped this Tremont house for Jonathan's older less valuable Richtown house. Emily (Rich) Trask (1884-1981), John Melbourne Rich's daughter, said in a 1975 interview that she was born in the house, "in that back bedroom up there… That was a big place. It was different from these days…it had a piazza clean around it and round the front. Father was great on building big places but he got in debt so much that he had to give up and go over to Richville [Richtown] and live." The main house, minus barn and ell, still exists in 2016, although covered in green asbestos shingles. The house was originally painted a cream color with brown trim. It sits back from the road just before the Tremont Congregational Church. The people in the photograph left to right: Jonathan Rich (1836-1907) Roseanna B. (Dix) Rich - Mrs. Jonathan Rich (1841-1916) Avah Dalton Rich, Sr. (1876-1908) Unknown lady in a white shirtwaist Unknown seated lady Rena “Teenie” or “Tiny” May Thurston - a dwarf (1866-1905) Unknown lady in a hat Unknown man in a suit
