Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 54, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 March 1911 — Maine’s Only Barn With a Clock. [ARTICLE]

Maine’s Only Barn With a Clock.

claims the only barn with a clock In Maine. The farm Is known for miles around as the “Clock Emmons place,” and has been called by that tome since the big clock was installed In the top of the barn twenty years ago. It is a landmark for miles around. The timfeplece answers for the town clock and Is so accurate that the farmers set their watches by it. It can be seen, for quite a long distance and causes strangers when they sight It for the first time to stare in amazement, for the last place In the world one would expect to see a full grown clock Is on the top of a barn. The farm buildings are owned by Grosse Emmons and Byron Emmons of Lawrence, Mass. They use It for a country residence, stopping here a few nonths In the summer. It was formerly owned by their father, the late Thomas William Emmons of Lawrence. The buildings are more than a century old and were formerly owned by Peter Jackson.
