• From Eastport Sentinel, January 6, 1897, p.1,c.6-7: “Washington Street Baptist Church, and other Eastport Churches. — ... Mr. Stephenson afterwards built the two houses for the Wheeler brothers, Loring F. and James P., now the houses of Mrs. McLarren and Mr. W.J. Fisher. He also built the church at Dennysville in which we felt a family interest, as in those delightful vacation visits of my boyhood, I went on Sunday to meeting in the old school house.
