"RAYMOND, Rev. John, died of fever at his home in Bowdoinham, ME, Aug. 28,, 1862. He was born in Bowdoinham, Nov. 30, 1808. He was converted in Oct. 1825, under the preaching of Rev. Samuel Hathorn, and ordained in a barn owned by Alfred Raymond, July 6, 1843. He was pastor of the Second Bowdoinham church for nearly twenty years.
In 1835 he began seventeen years of service as selectman in his town. He was seven years on the school committee and five years supervisor of the town. He was one of the first Free-soil voters in his district, and organized the first temperance society in his native place. In 1851 and '52, he was a member of the State Legislature...
His reasonings were so logical, and his arguments so conclusive as to convince those who heard him of their truth and strength.
In 1854, he was elected one of the commissioners of Sagadahoc County, which office he held till the time of his death. He was also at the time of his death clerk of the Bowdoin Q.M., secretary of the Maine Ministers' Relief Ass'n, a corporator of the Free Bapt. Printing Establishment, and a trustee of the Maine State Seminary. He had a pleasant home by an inlet of the great sea--the home and burial place of his father before him."
