Notes
Residence
He purchased 400 acres of the easterly part of original lots 29 and 36, felling forest and clearing farm land before moving his family there. At the time, Indians were still present and frequently came into his cabin and stayed through the night, which was very offensive to him. Samuel Bemis built the first frame house in Spencer.Endnotes
