Abram "Coloney" & Miss Anna “Bran,” both of Bangor, m. Feb. 28, 1836, by W. H. Norris, Minister of Gospel.

Deed 63-463 (dated Apr. 2, 1835, recorded Aug. 10, 1835), Jacob G. Remick to Abram Colomy and William B. Fullerton, both of Bangor, $400. Deed 79-45 (dated and recorded May 3, 1836), Colomy and Fullerton, blacksmiths, sold the same premises, $400. Ann signed. This appears to have been a business location, probably a blacksmith’s shop operated by Fullerton and Colomy.

Deed 79-47 (dated and recorded May 3, 1836), Abraham Colomy and William B. Fullerton, Bangor, Blacksmiths, acquired a lot in Bangor for $400 from Ansil Leighton and Charles H. Wing.

Again, this appears to be a business location.

Subsequent to this transaction, the Colomys moved out of Bangor to the Glenburn/Kirkland area. (Kirkland became Hudson).

In 1860, Abram Colomy began acquiring land on the north side of Old Town road for a farm. Deed 307-519 (dated Aug. 8, 1860, recorded Jan. 10, 1861) from various trustees in Boston to Abram Colomy of Hudson, 50 acres on Old Town Road, $175, subject to a mortgage (Deed 307-521) which was discharged on Jul. 3, 1865. Deed 307-518 (dated and recorded Jan. 10, 1861), $14, was an adjacent purchase.

At a Hudson town meeting held Mar. 9, 1863, pursuant to a warrant from the State of Maine, elections were held for town officers. A Colomy was appointed one of three “tythingmen” for a term of one year. During elections held Sep. 3, 1864, Abram Colomy received 12 votes out of 128 cast for representative to the state legislature. On Mar. 23, 1867, Abram Colomy was one of three elected “Oditors” (auditors).

“By the mid-1860’s, this town showed a definite decline in just about every area. The Civil War had taken just about every able-bodied man in town, so business in general took a sharp drop. The men who were fortunate enough to survive the civil war came back home to their families to find that many did not survive the poverty, sickness and strife. Statistics show death rates were high among children, especially. People began to look elsewhere for job opportunities.”

A final purchase was for a half interest in a lot, blacksmith shop and tools on the west side of the road from Bangor to Bradford and on the north side of the Pusham stream. Deed 380-144 (dated Jan. 22, 1868, recorded Aug. 5, 1868, Ira E. Parsons to Abram Colomy, $75, subject to a mortgage. Shortly thereafter, and just prior to his death, Colomy sold the interest to Llewellyn K. Webber. Deed 401-378, (dated Nov. 6, 1868, recorded Jul. 11, 1870).

Abram Colomy, died June 8, 1869, 60 yrs.
