"Eliakim without money sets up for himself and is well represented by Simon of Bunker Hill and Ruth Church. Of this family we have Patty, wife of Capt. Amos Holt, Elizabeth wife of Ezra Holt on the Berry estate, Capt. George, whose son Edward was so greatly beloved by his Andover associates Charles and Mehitable Emery who resided on Salem Street all his life and the aged Ruth Ballard who ended her days among us. Simon, who married Margery Barker, held the Downing estate, and his children were well represented by his grandson Horace, promote Sergeant in Heavy Artillery, serving from '61 to '64, then into the navy. Geerge, son of Charles, and Alfred, son of the resident Simon, were on the army list. This venerable grandson was born in Saco, but returned to live on the estate sold by Wardwell heirs to him and now in possession of a Reed; Mr. Wardwell is spending his last years with his daughter Mrs. Joseph Dole and, like all the others of his line preserves his faculties intact to the last."
