(OBIT: JOB K. PIKE, one of Caribou's oldest and most highly respected citizens, died at his home on Fenderson street Tuesday of last week. He has been in failing health for several years, and for the past eight months has been confined to his bed. The immediate cause of his death, however, was pneumonia, which developed the Friday before his demise.
Mr. Job Pike was born in Fryeburg, ME, in 1849 and was the second son of John T. and Amanda Pike, who were among the early settlers of this town. When a small boy he came to Caribou with his parents, settled on the farm on the Presque Isle road, now owned by Mr. H.T. Fletcher. In 1874 he was married to Miss Lillian Harris of Maysville, who with four children survive him. Mr. Pike was a great lover of music and played several instruments. He was a good mechanic and for years conducted a repair shop on South Main Street. He was extremely fond of children, and one of his greatest delights in his declining years was to hear the innocent prattle of childhood.
Funeral services were held at his late home, Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. E.A. Trites of the Baptist church officiating. A duet was sung by Mrs. Perely Merrithew and Mrs. Wm. Thomas.
The deceased was a consistent member of the Baptist church. He was an honest, upright citizen, and commanded the respect of all, and in his demise the town has lost a valuable citizen.
Mr. Pike leaves to mourn their loss his wife, four children, Mrs. Bessie P. McWethy and Arthur Pike of Liverpool, NY; Harold T. Pike of Duntown and Miss Alma Pike of this town, who have the sympathy of their many friends.)

(OBIT: LILLIAN PIKE. Mrs. Pike was born in Gloucester, Maine, on October 3, 1855. Her girlhood years were passed in Maysville, and on March 2, 1874, she married Job K. Pike, at that time a resident of Malden, Mass. In 1879 they moved to Caribou, which has since been their home.
Mrs. Pike was for many years a devoted member and an earnest, consistent worker of the Baptist church in Caribou. From the time of its organization, through all the years of her Christian life, until hindered by ill health, the welfare, growth in spirituality and strength of the church was always upon her heart and she spared no effort to promote its helpfulness and influences for good to all.
Faithful in attendance at the prayer room, her presence was always an inspiration to others. In the women's work, both in the missionary effort and all work of the church, her judgement and discretion in guidance was of inestimable value. Her life was a living testimony of faith in Christ, sober and faithful in all things, ready to admonish and direct the younger women to Godly living and constancy in faith and charity.
Of her it is fitting to say "She hath done what she could." To her "The day has come, not gone, the sun has risen, not set, her life now beyond the reach of death and change, not ended but begun."
She died May 19, 1926, at the age of 70 years. Funeral services were held at her home on May 22, the Rev. C.E. Young of Hallowell, Maine, who for many years was pastor of the Caribou Baptist church, officiating. A wealth of lovely flowers bore mute testimony of the respect, love and sympathy of many friends.
"The Sweet Bye and Bye," "Asleep In Jesus," and "We're Going Home," all hymns which she loved, were beautifully sung by the United Baptist Male Quartet, composed of Eugene Hale, Clyde Morgan, Warren Ellingwood and James Miller, with Mrs. Louise Kidney at the piano.
We rejoice in our assurance that what seems from this side of the mists that blind us here, to the death, is, to those passing, only the realization of perfect and eternal Life and Love.
Job K. Pike, her husband of 50 years, died in 1924. She is survived by two daughters: Bessie L. McWethy of Liverpool, NY; Alma L. Pike of Caribou; two sons: Arthur W. Pike of Liverpool, NY and Harold T. Pike of Caribou. Interment, Caribou Evergreen Cemetery.)

"In the Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society, 2nd Series, Vol. III, pages 281-290, there is an entire chapter about Samuel Skillings. He was an Indian fighter, sawmill tender, innkeeper, farmer, and office holder. Captain Samuel Skillings' command in the French and Indian War are listed on page 289. Among the soldiers are two of his sons, Josiah and Samuel. In 1792, Samuel Skillings Jr. was the representative of the Skillings family in Portland, Maine and the vicinity when an extraordinary lease was made. The other party in the agreement, Enoch Ilsey, was one of the most prominent landowners and dealers in real estate in the town. The lease concerned a seven-acre tract belonging to Samuel Skillings, which lay in the vicinity of what is known as Market Square. The [lease] document is on record at the Cumberland registry of deeds, and runs as follows: 'This indenture of lease made and concluded upon this tenth day of April, Anno Domini, one thousand seven hundred and Ninety-Two, by and between Samuel Skillings of the District of Cape Elizabeth in the County of Cumberland, gentleman of the one part, and Enock Ilsey, of Portland in the County aforesaid, merchant, of the other part, witnesseth: That the said Samuel Skillings, for himself and in behalf of the other heirs of his father, deceased, for the consideration hereinafter mentioned, hath leased and to farm letten, and by these presents doth lease and farm let, unto him the said Enock, his heirs and assigns, all the land lying between ye southwesterly part of the County Coal yard, and the southwesterly part of the hay scales, and between Back Street and Middle Street in the said town of Portland, where one Captain Joseph Bailey now dwells, and who has been a tenant at will under us many years past, and now hires the house on said land of the aforesaid Enock Ilsey, for the full term of ninety-nine years from the date hereof, to be fully completed, to improve as he, the said Enock, his heirs or assigns, may think proper, or build and erect any buildings he may think proper, and improve them as he chooses for and during the term of time aforesaid. And the said Enock Ilsey doth covenant and engage to pay to the said Samuel Skillings, for himself and the other heirs aforesaid, one dollar per year yearly for the rent of said land, and at the expiration of said term of ninety-nine years, to yield and deliver unto the said Samuel and the other heirs aforesaid, quiet and peaceable possession of said lands and all the buildings thereon, provided he or they pay the said Enock his heirs or assigns, as much moneyas three indifferent men may judge said buildings to be worth when delivered up at the end of ninety-nine years. To the truye performance of each and every article aforementioned, the parties bind themselves, their heirs, executors, and administrators, each to the other in the penal sum of thirty pounds. In witness whereof they have hereunto set their hands and seals this day and year aforementioned. Witnesses: Simeon Skillings Enoch Ilsey [seal] Jospeh Skillings Samuel Skillin [seal] In 1889, the heirs of Samuel Skillings Jr. attempted to organize a league to sue the city of Portland to return to them this valuable piece of downtown property when the lease would expire in 1891. However, it became too complicated to trace all the heirs, and a lawsuit was never established.

A Memory of Marjorie (Morgan) Wyman by Freeman Wright:
Marjorie (Morgan) Wyman was born Jan. 24, 1925 in Caribou
The daughter of Clyde and Blanche (Pike) Morgan
The Morgans were a very talented and musical family
Who spent many Sundays and evenings around the piano & organ
Clyde & Blanche Morgan were blessed with four daughters
Named: Arlene, Regna, Ruth and Marjorie
Clyde Morgan their Dad was a prominent businessman
Who left an indelible mark on Caribou's early history
Marjorie's father was part owner, of Morgan's Funeral Home
The first to be established in Caribou, the year 1898
Which is now known as the Lancaster-Morgan Funeral Home
A prominent & respected funeral home, from that early date
Clyde & Blanche were active members, of the United Baptist Church
Their girls were also active, becoming members one by one
Ruth is the only remaining active member, at this time
They were all quiet and friendly girls, known by everyone
Marjorie was always a pleasant person to talk to
Which is a characteristic of Marjorie and her sisters as well
It was a trait they inherited from their mother
As those that knew Blanche (Pike) Morgan, will tell
Marjorie attended the grammar schools in Caribou
Graduated from Caribou High School in 1942
She graduated with Rex Wyman, whom she would later marry
They met at a birthday for Marjorie, that Rex was invited to
After graduating, Marjorie worked for the Potato Inspection Office
Rex went into the United States Air Force in 1943
Later after receiving his training, Rex was sent to England
He was assigned to B-24's in England, serving his country
Rex was sent home just before the war was over in Germany
He was given a thirty day furlough after returning home
Was stationed at Pratt AFB in Kansas, when they were married
Rex was reassigned to the Pacific, where he was later flown
They were married in the living room of Marjorie's parents
Her sister Dorothy's wedding also took place in their home
Marjorie was the last of the Morgan girls to be married
For the first time in years, Clyde & Blanche were now alone
Rex was sent by the Air Force to serve in the Pacific
While stationed there, Rex was assigned to B-29's
It was from a B-29 that the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan
Which brought an end to the Pacific conflict, in a short time
Rex returned to the United States, after the war was over
Was discharged from Fort Devens in 1946, returning home
For Marjorie and the Wyman family, there was a sigh of relief
Especially for Marjorie, who would no longer be alone
Rex and Marjorie built a house, on Page Avenue extension
Actually Marjorie lived on Page Avenue, all of her life
It was there she was born, at the home of her parents
Grew up, went to school, married, becoming a devoted wife
Rex worked for awhile, in the A&P Grocery Store
Then worked for Gradon Lombard for 12 & 1/2 years
Went on his own, repairing and rewinding electric motors
His electrical expertise was well known, by all his peers
God blessed Rex & Marjorie with a daughter "Gail" Oct. 23, 1948
It was "Melissa" April 4, 1952 when God blessed them once more
If they were praying for a son, their prayers were answered
With the birth of a son "Scott", who was born July 21, 1954
Marjorie no longer worked for the Potato Inspection Office
Her place as a good mother, was with her children at home
Her children remember her love and "tender loving care"
From the time they were born, until they were fully grown
Marjorie and Rex had a place for relaxing on hot summer days
They built a camp for themselves & the children at Madawaska Lake
They spent much time there, while the children were growing up
The cool water on a hot summer day, wasn't hard to take
Marjorie went to the old hospital for an operation in 1957
Her sister Regna has broken a leg and was also admitted there
The hospital placed them together, to share the same room
Making their stay more enjoyable, their burdens easier to bear
Marjorie and Rex enjoyed traveling after the children were married
They made many trips to visit their daughters, who had moved away
Especially during the times, their husbands were in the service
Those trips leave precious memories, Rex & the girls share today
They were fortunate to have their son Scott, remain in Caribou
He, his wife Elizabeth and children, are still living here
Melissa also lived nearby, before moving to Greenville, Maine
Marjorie kept in touch with them all, down through the years
Marjorie accepted the Lord at an early age
Became a member of the United Baptist Church of Caribou
Marjorie was baptised April 12, 1936
In the old chapel baptismal, that her sisters went through
God gave Marjorie a good and loving husband
To Rex, Marjorie was a loving and devoted wife
She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
They meant so much to Marjorie, they were her life!
Marjorie not only said she loved her children, but showed it
She remained in contact with them, even after they were grown
That same love carried on and wa extended to others in need
Through cards, notes and meals, from their home
Marjorie's son Scott said: "Mom was the nicest lady I ever met
She was not only nice to her family, but nice to all"
Marjorie displayed a pleasant attitude, to everyone she met
In her home, love and kindness was shared, to all who called
Marjorie was born and brought up, in a good Christian home
She and her three sisters, were a "close knit" family
They made it a point, to meet often after they were married
They now have children of their own and their own "family tree"
One of Marjorie's most enjoyable hobbies, was playing bridge
She was faithful to a group of ladies, who met every week
I remember seeing them often, meeting at Yusef's Restaurant
Enjoying a time of fellowship and something to eat
Marjorie enjoyed playing the piano in her home
Sharing her musical talent, a carry over from the Morgan family
Marjorie made everyone feel good, by just talking with her
Something about Marjorie, brought out the good in everybody
Those that knew Marjorie, could see the love of God through her
Her faith in God, was recognized by all whom she met
A faith recognized, by her attributes and character
Her smile and "soft spoken voice", we shall never forget!
Marjorie suffered much, the last few weeks of her life
She was in and out of the hospital, here and in Bangor, Maine
She now has a perfect life, a perfect body & in a perfect place
A place where we are promised, there will be no more "suffering or pain" | MORGAN Marjorie Lillian (I28998)

A Memory of Marjorie (Morgan) Wyman by Freeman Wright:
Marjorie (Morgan) Wyman was born Jan. 24, 1925 in Caribou
The daughter of Clyde and Blanche (Pike) Morgan
The Morgans were a very talented and musical family
Who spent many Sundays and evenings around the piano & organ
Clyde & Blanche Morgan were blessed with four daughters
Named: Arlene, Regna, Ruth and Marjorie
Clyde Morgan their Dad was a prominent businessman
Who left an indelible mark on Caribou's early history
Marjorie's father was part owner, of Morgan's Funeral Home
The first to be established in Caribou, the year 1898
Which is now known as the Lancaster-Morgan Funeral Home
A prominent & respected funeral home, from that early date
Clyde & Blanche were active members, of the United Baptist Church
Their girls were also active, becoming members one by one
Ruth is the only remaining active member, at this time
They were all quiet and friendly girls, known by everyone
Marjorie was always a pleasant person to talk to
Which is a characteristic of Marjorie and her sisters as well
It was a trait they inherited from their mother
As those that knew Blanche (Pike) Morgan, will tell
Marjorie attended the grammar schools in Caribou
Graduated from Caribou High School in 1942
She graduated with Rex Wyman, whom she would later marry
They met at a birthday for Marjorie, that Rex was invited to
After graduating, Marjorie worked for the Potato Inspection Office
Rex went into the United States Air Force in 1943
Later after receiving his training, Rex was sent to England
He was assigned to B-24's in England, serving his country
Rex was sent home just before the war was over in Germany
He was given a thirty day furlough after returning home
Was stationed at Pratt AFB in Kansas, when they were married
Rex was reassigned to the Pacific, where he was later flown
They were married in the living room of Marjorie's parents
Her sister Dorothy's wedding also took place in their home
Marjorie was the last of the Morgan girls to be married
For the first time in years, Clyde & Blanche were now alone
Rex was sent by the Air Force to serve in the Pacific
While stationed there, Rex was assigned to B-29's
It was from a B-29 that the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan
Which brought an end to the Pacific conflict, in a short time
Rex returned to the United States, after the war was over
Was discharged from Fort Devens in 1946, returning home
For Marjorie and the Wyman family, there was a sigh of relief
Especially for Marjorie, who would no longer be alone
Rex and Marjorie built a house, on Page Avenue extension
Actually Marjorie lived on Page Avenue, all of her life
It was there she was born, at the home of her parents
Grew up, went to school, married, becoming a devoted wife
Rex worked for awhile, in the A&P Grocery Store
Then worked for Gradon Lombard for 12 & 1/2 years
Went on his own, repairing and rewinding electric motors
His electrical expertise was well known, by all his peers
God blessed Rex & Marjorie with a daughter "Gail" Oct. 23, 1948
It was "Melissa" April 4, 1952 when God blessed them once more
If they were praying for a son, their prayers were answered
With the birth of a son "Scott", who was born July 21, 1954
Marjorie no longer worked for the Potato Inspection Office
Her place as a good mother, was with her children at home
Her children remember her love and "tender loving care"
From the time they were born, until they were fully grown
Marjorie and Rex had a place for relaxing on hot summer days
They built a camp for themselves & the children at Madawaska Lake
They spent much time there, while the children were growing up
The cool water on a hot summer day, wasn't hard to take
Marjorie went to the old hospital for an operation in 1957
Her sister Regna has broken a leg and was also admitted there
The hospital placed them together, to share the same room
Making their stay more enjoyable, their burdens easier to bear
Marjorie and Rex enjoyed traveling after the children were married
They made many trips to visit their daughters, who had moved away
Especially during the times, their husbands were in the service
Those trips leave precious memories, Rex & the girls share today
They were fortunate to have their son Scott, remain in Caribou
He, his wife Elizabeth and children, are still living here
Melissa also lived nearby, before moving to Greenville, Maine
Marjorie kept in touch with them all, down through the years
Marjorie accepted the Lord at an early age
Became a member of the United Baptist Church of Caribou
Marjorie was baptised April 12, 1936
In the old chapel baptismal, that her sisters went through
God gave Marjorie a good and loving husband
To Rex, Marjorie was a loving and devoted wife
She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
They meant so much to Marjorie, they were her life!
Marjorie not only said she loved her children, but showed it
She remained in contact with them, even after they were grown
That same love carried on and wa extended to others in need
Through cards, notes and meals, from their home
Marjorie's son Scott said: "Mom was the nicest lady I ever met
She was not only nice to her family, but nice to all"
Marjorie displayed a pleasant attitude, to everyone she met
In her home, love and kindness was shared, to all who called
Marjorie was born and brought up, in a good Christian home
She and her three sisters, were a "close knit" family
They made it a point, to meet often after they were married
They now have children of their own and their own "family tree"
One of Marjorie's most enjoyable hobbies, was playing bridge
She was faithful to a group of ladies, who met every week
I remember seeing them often, meeting at Yusef's Restaurant
Enjoying a time of fellowship and something to eat
Marjorie enjoyed playing the piano in her home
Sharing her musical talent, a carry over from the Morgan family
Marjorie made everyone feel good, by just talking with her
Something about Marjorie, brought out the good in everybody
Those that knew Marjorie, could see the love of God through her
Her faith in God, was recognized by all whom she met
A faith recognized, by her attributes and character
Her smile and "soft spoken voice", we shall never forget!
Marjorie suffered much, the last few weeks of her life
She was in and out of the hospital, here and in Bangor, Maine
She now has a perfect life, a perfect body & in a perfect place
A place where we are promised, there will be no more "suffering or pain" | MORGAN Marjorie Lillian (I477)

After the death of his mother, he seems to have been somewhat seperated from the rest of the family but to have been well cared for by his Aunt Blanche Morgan (Pike) for seven years.
During September, 1978, Allen Pike visited with Hollis and Wilma Jacobs at their home in New Sweden, Maine and Hollis recalled much about his family. The conversation was tape recorded and in later months transcribed by Allen Pike. The following are some of the remarks from that conversation:
"I was seven when my Dad died (1920) and I was eleven when Mother died (1924). Mother and Dad were the same age. Dad was thirty-five and Mother died four years later when she was thirty-nine.
We lived on the Washburn Road about four miles from Caribou. It was just below the hill from the Tuttle farm.
Jimmy (James) Jacobs, Dad's father owned a considerable amount of land around Caribou and Washburn. This included large acerage around the Caribou Lake area where Fred Jacobs lived. Grandfather Jimmy Jacobs divided his land between John, my father, and uncle Fred. Father got the farm on the Washburn Road and Fred got the farm on the Caribou Lake Road. Grandfather also owned land in Woodland. In later years grandfather moved into the village of Caribou and lived on Teague Street. He lived to be around 85 or 88 years of age. I recall as a child that Grandfather would come out to the farm and help Dad with the farming.
In later years I had several conversations with my Grandfather. He said he paid as much as seventy-five cents an acre for a lot. He thought that was high. [Ed. note: Land was held by the State and sold for 25 cents per acre, one-half payable in work on the State roads.]
We went to a one-room school which was located up the road from our house. We drove a horse and sleigh to school in the cold weather. It was a covered wagon or covered sled. We would leave the horse at Ed Rider's who lived across the road from the school.
I was in the fifth grade when Mother died. She had a heart condition. We were in school the day she died and they came and got us. You know what actually happened?
A hen had come in out of the barn, you see, we had that nice shed and the hen was determined to set there where she didn't belong. Mother had this darn basket and she was moving this darn hen back into the barn. This shed was connected to the barn along this walkway. There were steps which went up to a sort of attic over the shed where odds and ends were kept. When they found her she was three or four steps up there just sitting on the steps where she died.
These were very hard times for the farmers. Potatoes on which they depended for their livelihood were selling from fifteen to twenty five cents a barrel.
After the death of our parents the children went to live with relatives and friends."
Hollis' conversation continues with considerable information about his sisters and brother.

Annie's father had moved his family from Caribou to Van Buren about 1881. At the time of her birth she had two half-brothers, Sylvesster and Judson and two half-sisters, Minnie (Melinda) and Addie by her father's first wife Caroline (Rideout). Her first sister, Nellie, who was also born in Van Buren, died after four years of age. Hiram, her father, was a "manufacturer of and dealer in carriages and sleighs." He had tried farming on the Brown Road, Woodland, Maine before moving north to Van Buren.
It was in these surroundings along the St. John River that Annie began her life. Shortly, after her brother Eugene Hale was born in 1887, the family moved back to Caribou and Hiram, the father, purchased a farm on the Caribou-Washburn Road near the Bailey Mitchell Bridge. In later years the farm was referred to as "The Noble Farm." Records indicate that Hiram didn't keep the farm very long. He then returned to his old profession, that of being a carpenter.
On the farm Annie was to enjoy the company of more brothers and sister: Blanche Hazel, William Merritt, Charles Boutelle and Jennie Bernice. The family was to enjoy the rural country living until 1900 when the mother died (May, 1900). At this time Annie would have been sixteen years of age. Being one of the older girls, she assisted in keeping house for one or two years when she went to Lowell, Massachusetts to seek work in the textile mills. She joined her half-sister Addie, who was already working there.
Annie returned to Caribou after four years and on 28 November 1905 she married John Jacobs. His family lived on the Washburn Road. John was born in Readfield, Maine on 21 May 1884 the son of James Monroe Jacobs. John and Annie went to live on the "Jacobs Farm" on the Caribou-Washburn Road.
On their farm four children were born: Clara Alice, Alda Blanche, Hollis Linwood and John Philip.
John Jacobs, the father, died 6 February 1920 at the age of 35. Annie remarried February 1922, George Lawson. George was born in 1888 at Andover, N.B., Canada. They continued to live on the farm. However, this was not to last for very long; two years later Annie died on 10 April 1924 at the age of 39. The uncertanties of the crops and other complications which they could not control brought them into financial difficulties and it is probable that this trouble brought on the heart attack from which she died. The date of her death was also the date for foreclosing on the farm. George Lawson moved to Massachusetts and later to Deerfield, Florida where he died November 1956.
She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
With the father and mother dying at such early ages, their children had little recollection of them. However, during September, 1978, Allen Pike visited with Hollis and Wilma Jacobs at their home in New Sweden, Maine and Hollis recalled much about his family. The conversation was tape recorded and in later months transcribed by Allen Pike. Remarks from that conversation can be found as a general note on Hollis Jacob's page.
Of all the grandchildren of Hiram Pike, Jr., this family perhaps suffered the greatest loss. In later years, taking into consideration their many trials and tribulations, they all did well.
Clara Jacobs also contributed a piece in 1976 which can be found on her page. | PIKE Annie Burpee (I797)

Autobiographical comments (1980):
"I recall very little about my parents as my father died when I was two and my mother when I was six years of age. After our parents died our family lived with Uncle Clyde and Aunt Blanche Morgan. Alda and Clara lived with different people. I was raised by Edgar and Lena (Hardison) Russ in Caribou. Lena and Edgar were wonderful people. I was educated at Caribou schools, Hebron Academy and two years at the University of Maine, Orono.
At the time I lived with the Russ family they were raising about 500 acres of potatoes. This was the time before mechanical tractors and trucks and the work was done with horses. I spent thirty years in agriculture, raising, buying and selling potatoes before quitting at the age of 50.
We moved to Louisiana in 1973 and I went to work at the Beverly Dinner Playhouse, partially owned and operated by my wife Betty's brother, Frank Storer Boone. It was very successful. Betty was Office Manager and I was Food Director. Our daughter Joy was also born there."
Lived in San Antonio, Texas. Came home ill to visit in 1991 and died two days later. After the death of his mother, the home was broken up. The step father doing something to secure the safety of the children. Lived with his father's sister, Maud Currier for a year, then with Mr. & Mrs. Edgar Russ.

George was a long-time friend, caretaker, and manager of Dr. Samuel Bemis's farm, saw mill, and property, which included his granite mansion now known as The Notchland Inn. He inherited it all from Dr. Bemis when he died in 1881. When George died in 1902 he left it all to his minor son, Charles.
When George died in 1902 they were living in Portland, ME where he was a lumber merchant. The property he inherited had included a sawmill. After his son George married in 1906 he and his wife, Florence, took over the Bemis property.
George died of Meningitis and was brought home to be buried in this cemetery on his property. He was preceded in death by his parents and his two young sons, Georgie and Freddie.

He joined his father in the family stonecutting business sometime in 1809 or before (perhaps after he turned twenty-one in 1803), probably replacing his brother Enoch. After father, Paul Noyes, died, Robert continued for a time (he is mentioned as a "stone cutter" in two property transactions in 1811 and 1812), but ultimately also gave up stonecutting about 1815, judging from his gravestone production.
He later went to Maine, studied at Bowdoin College, became a minister and spent two years preaching to the congregation in Limington, Maine from 1821 to 1823. After his parishioners declined to retain him, he relocated sometime before 1836 to New Gloucester, Maine where both he and his wife died.
Robert's closure of his family's stonecutting shop was no doubt influenced by the fact that other, more competent stonecutters had established their own shops in the town, including Shubael Treat, Ebenezer Soule III, Moses Warren and Eliphalet Dame.

He was confused in the "Genealogical Record of Some of The Noyes Descendants of James, Nicholas and Peter Noyes." Vol. I with Enoch, son of Samuel who died 30 Jan 1811. This Enoch died in 1832 at the age of 58 and his wife, Margaret administered his estate.
Enoch Noyes (1773 - 1832), son of stone engraver and carver Paul Noyes of Newburyport, produced tree and urn stones similar to those of his father and others. This type of stone is so standardized that it can only be attributed to a given carver when signed or probated.
While Enoch Noyes took over the lion's share of the gravestone production of the Noyes shop from about 1796, he also throughout this period and beyond ran a paint shop. He first advertised this shop in the "Newburyport Herald" in 1798. A similar advertisement appeared in 1799 and a later version in 1806. Enoch offered not only paint, but also "Sign, Chaise, and other Painting, Gilding and Varnishing." In the first two ads, his shop was "in Merrimack Street, just below Green street," while in the thirs ad, it was "in Union Street."
In 1807, he bought a house on Strong Street for $693 from Joshua and Elizabeth Carter.
In 1809, he appears to have yielded his role in the stonecutting shop to his younger brother Robert (who was twenty seven that year), for a notice in the "Newburyport Herald" in May of that year by Paul and Robert Noyes informed the public that a "new arrangement" had been made in their stonecutting business.
The situation changed again, of course, with the death of Paul Noyes in October of 1810. Enoch was appointed administrator in early November, but a few days before, he also placed a notice in the "Herald" advertising the sale of a house on Summer Street (which his father had bought three years earlier), two pews in the Meeting House, an assortment of Connecticut freestone and a "Shop-chamber in Union-street, suitable for a Cabinet-maker, or joiner." At the end of this ad, there is the notice: "N.B. Stone Cutting business carried on as usual by R.H. NOYES at the place lately occupied by his father." The house on Summer St. was sold in January of 1811 [Essex Co. Deeds: 193:185].
In October of 1811, Enoch sold his "share of my late father's estate" to his sister Sarah for $600 [196:26]. Yet in December of 1812, to cover a note for about $500, he and his siblings mortgaged the Noyes homestead to a Dorcas Noyes (who was probably their uncle Silas's widow). Had he mortgaged his share to his sister and then reaquired it?
In November of 1811, Enoch advertised a home for sale on Strong Street, "newly built" (as well as the two pews in the Meeting House). (Was this the same house he bought in 1808, or had he built a new one?) Enoch was apparently unable to sell this house, for in a notice in July of 1815, it was to be auctioned off. At the time he was still in debt for $365 on his house (Samuel Newman then held the mortgage, taken out in August of 1811; [194:237], as well as for an additional $123 on a mortgage on the same house held by a Paul Noyes of Salisbury, NH (not his father) originally taken out in October of 1811 [196:17], but re-mortgaged [?] to the same man 1812 [198:117]. It was perhaps David Patch who bought these two mortgages in the auction, for in December of 1815, Patch paid Enoch $1,250 for this property [208:259].
It appears that, after his father's death, Enoch had restructured his assets, as it were, buying and selling these properties (no doubt used as collateral for personal loans as well). In all these property transactions (one in 1807, two in 1811, three in 1812 and one in 1815), Enoch's occupation is "painter." In addition to his 1798, 1799 and 1806 advertisements for his paint shop, Enoch also put a notice in the "Herald" in March, 1811 about his runaway apprentice "to the painter's trade" Robert Griffith. The probate records for Enoch in 1832 and for his father in 1810 and 1813 all list Enoch as a painter as well.
