Stream Lost In Waterville, Maine

Lost stream. Waterville, Maine. A stream used to run from the cemetery to the Kennebec River. “This `Plains' section of the town was vast, thickly wooded area with a few tiny clearings here and there for grazing. The whole section up to what is commonly known as the `flat', was sort of peninsula, surrounded on the East side by the Kennebec River and on the West by a narrow, marshy stream having its source at the further end of Pine Grove Cemetery. This muddy brook slowly curved along today's King Street and emptied into the Kennebec canal around the bottom of today's Sherwin Hill.” COMMUNITY OF WATERVILLE, MAINE BY ALBERT C.
