The Maine Farmer newspaper was established in 1833 by Dr. Ezekiel
Holmes and was issued regularly for nearly a hundred years.
Published weekly, it was devoted to the interest of agriculture and
the "mechanic arts." The first issue was dated January 21, 1833,
and called the Kennebec Farmer. The name was changed to the Maine
Farmer on March 18 of the same year. The Maine Farmer carried
marriage notices from the entire state, but most of the entries
were from the Kennebec Valley. These records will prove to be of
value to both the professional and the amateur genealogist, not
only for the information that they contain, but for the clues that
they give as to where further information may be found. The book is
alphabetically arranged and includes both brides' and grooms'
names. Entries typically list the full name of each party, and
often give the date and place of the wedding, father's name (when
known), and name of minister or official who performed the
ceremony. A citation at the end of each entry gives the date of the
newspaper issue in which the original notice appeared. A helpful
appendix lists (alphabetically) all of the ministers mentioned in
the book, including the denomination, location of the ministry, and
dates during which he practiced in that area. This valuable feature
may help the researcher find the location of important church
records-another great source of family information. Yet another
locating aid included in this book is a list of all the towns
mentioned in the text.
