   WILLIAM HARRISON THOMAS, son of Woodbury Thomas, was born in Durham 24 Aug.
1848. He acquired sufficient education in the public schools and by self-help to
become a very successful teacher, having taught twenty-two terms in Durham,
Lisbon and Brunswick. He has served as Town Clerk and Representative to the
Legislature. He interested himself in the preservation of Durham's churches and
collected most of the funds for the repair of the Free Baptist Church and of the
Union Church a few years ago. He is remembered as an ardent supporter of the
Republican party in Durham. To him was due much of the credit for the success of
the Durham Centennial, and without his advocacy and financial management this
History of Durham might not have been published. He is a lover and helper of his
native town. He still owns a farm near S. W. Bend, but moved to Lewiston in 1890.

   Mr. Thomas married, 25 June 1871, Cathie Susan, dau. of James and Sarah
(Herrick) Newell.

   Their children are George W. b. 25 July 1873, who graduated at Bates College
in 1896 and is a student of Law at Harvard University; Charles H. b. 29 Mch.
1875, who is an employe in the Manufacturers' Bank of Lewiston; and Emery J. b.
12 Dec. 1876, who is a student in the Medical Department of Tufts College.
