From Dedham website:
Nathan Phillips (1775-1861) was the first settler. Born in Bellingham, Mass. he came to Eddington Bend, near Brewer, and from there to Phillips Lake in 1810. After a thorough search, he decided to settle near the lake. Returning a second time, he found he was on the wrong side of the lake so he removed his clothing, tied it to an ax handle and swam across the lake. He built his first cabin near the shore but later built another log cabin on the hill which is the site of the Lucerne Club House. Today, he and other relatives lie in Pine Trail Cemetery.
