Biography

Jack Swift: "In early adult life he was a farmer in Gilead, Maine. During the 1860's he moved between Troy, Maine, where he was Postmaster for a while, and Gilead. On his marriage certificate, issued in Troy in 1861, he is described as a "farmer & teacher". By the early 1870's he had moved to Lewiston, Maine, where he was a merchant and salesman in the nursery business. [The places and dates of his marriage and of his daughters' births are the basis of this chronology: he married Sarah in Troy in 1861, Daisy was born in Gilead in 1863, Agnes was born in Troy in 1867, and Ada was born in Lewiston in 1872. W.W. Wight -- writing in 1890 -- says of Asa Franklin Peabody that "he is in the insurance business in Troy", but Wight's information may have been outdated by 1890]. Asa Franklin spent his final years at the home of his daughter Agnes, at 9 Riverside Place, Lewiston. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and of the Masonic Order.

Biography

She was a daughter of Moses Harris Garcelon and Louisa Bennett of Troy, Maine, granddaughter of William Garcelon and Maria Harris of Lewiston, Maine, and greatgranddaughter of James Garcelon and Deliverance Annis who were early settlers of Lewiston in 1776. James emigrated in 1753 from Guernsey in the Channel Islands to Cape Ann, Massachusetts, where he met and married Deliverance.

Born at St. Albans, Somerset County, Maine, she lived at Troy, Maine (in Waldo County, west of Penobscot Bay) until her marriage to Asa Franklin Peabody. She then moved to Gilead, Maine, the Peabody homestead, where her oldest child, Daisy Isabelle, was born. She returned briefly to Troy for the birth of Agnes, and then lived in Lewiston from 1872 onward. She is buried in Riverside Cemetery, Lewiston.

She lived in Troy until her marriage to Asa Franklin Peabody a teacher who had previously farmed in Gilead. The family moved briefly to the Peabody homestead at Gilead where her eldest child was born and then back to Troy by 1867. From 1872 onward she lived in Lewiston, Maine,
where her husband was a merchant and a salesman in the nursery business. A family tradition says that for summer holidays he took his wife and children on visits to the Maine coast near Bath.

Biography

Swift: "She moved with her father as a child to Lewiston, Maine, where she graduated from High School with high honors. As a girl she changed her name to Daisy Belle Swift (by which name she was always known thereafter) in order to avoid the initials DIP which spelled "dip", a pickpocket. She became a proofreader and worked for a while in Boston as a proofreader of Greek and Latin texts for Ginn & Company. She was married at her home, 9 Riverside Place, Lewiston. In 1900 she moved to New York City with her husband, living in the Bronx. About 1910 the family moved to Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, where she lived at "Treetops", 81 Summit Drive, until after the death of J. Otis Swift in 1948. About 1928 she and her husband purchased a small lot at Bay Point, Georgetown, Maine, where they built a summer cottage at which she spent all her summers until about 1940; J.Otis joined her there for his brief vacations from his newspaper work. After his death she spent her last years in Brooksville, Maine.

She came to Lewiston as a young child and graduated from high school there with high honors. Working as a proofreader of Latin and Greek texts for the Boston firm of Ginn & Company, she and her sister Agnes helped their father build a house at 9 Riverside Place, Lewiston. After her marriage to J. Otis Swift, a newspaper man, she and her husband lived nearby at 5 Cottage Street, Lewiston, where her first child was born. In 1899 the family moved to New York City where her husband had taken a job as a reporter for the New York World. They lived in the Bronx for some years and in 1910 moved to HastingsonHudson, New York where she lived until 1949 when she moved to Brooksville, Maine. In 1928 she and her husband built a summer cottage, the Lookout, at Bay Point in Georgetown, Maine where she spent every summer for many years, being joined by her husband during his vacations.
