CHARLES ALCOTT FLAGG

Was born in Sandwich, Mass, October 1, 1870. Graduated
from Bowdoin College 1894.  Soon after this he
commenced his life work as librarian by entering the
New York State Library School at Albany.  

In 1896 he became assistant and later sub-librarian in
charge of history and genealogy at the New York State
Library at Albany. In 1900 he resigned this position
to accept the charge of American History in the
Catalogue Division of the Library of Congress,
Washington, D. C. He remained there until 1913 when he
was called to assume charge of the Public Library of
Bangor, Maine, where he remained until the time of his
death.

He received the degree of B. L. S. in 1899 from the
New York State Library School, and in 1902 the George
Washington University conferred on him the degree of
M. A.  He was a member of the American Library
Association, the Maine Library Association, the Maine
and the Bangor Historical Societies, the New England
Historic and Genealogical Association, the American
Historical Association, an honorary member of the
Piscataquis Historical Society.  His church was
Unitarian and his political party the Republican.  He
died in Bangor, March 28, 1920.

He was compiler and author of "An Alphabetical Index
of Revolutionary Soldiers Living in Maine" which has
recently been published as a serial in the Journal. It
is one of the most valuable Maine historical items
ever presented to the public and is the only complete
authentic collection of the names and data of Maine
Soldiers now existing.
