*In 1839, Jabez Knowlton established a general store - known as \"The Knowlton Store\" in Newburgh, ME that operated by Jabez\'s son, Amos W. Knowlton (1845 - 1933) whom took over the store upon his father\'s death in 1895 and ran it up until about 1920. (See last photo for Amos\'s obituary) In1957, at age 24, Amos Kimball, a relative (his mother was a Knowlton) Began a restoration of the store as a private museum, to bring it back to how it appeared, both inside and out, when it closed in 1921. The museum / store has been open for decades and still may be available to visit today by appointment.In 1978, \"The Knowlton Store\" was placed on National Register of Historic Places.

Jabez also served as Newburgh\'s Postmaster and Selectman for 40 years and as Treasurer for 37 years. This draft is related to these positions for the town.
