Rev. Martin WARD born March 1803 in Harlem, Lincoln, Maine (now China, Kennebec, Maine)
In 1832, Rev. Martin Ward preached for a while in Waterville and organized a class of seven persons of which James Parker was leader. In 1833, Rev. P. P. Morrill preached here once in four weeks on the Sabbath. In 1835, Rev. Marcus Wight rendered the same service and the membership was increased to twenty-five. Because of discouragements, the meetings were discontinued, and the ground abandoned until 1843, when Waterville was made a mission station with Rev. Luther P. French preacher in charge. The Town Hall was secured for meetings--a good congregation gathered and a Sunday-school organized.
