My grandmother, Effie Crowell Furber, kept a scrapbook of clippings from local papers about Skowhegan, Canaan, and other parts of Somerset County.  She began the scrapbook in 1918 but many of the clippings are from an earlier time.  The clippings include obituaries, marriages, and births from the Skowhegan and Canaan area as well as many other articles of general interest.  I will transcribe these articles for this site as time allows.  For more information, send me an email.
