The purpose of this site is to share Sargent family history through pictures, journals and letters starting with the family of Joshua and Mary Sargent of Alton, Maine and moving backward in time through prior generations.The descendants of Joshua and Mary Sargent are flung far and wide, and this is an easy way to share family history.

What Are Spool Bars?


Bill Brown, a great-grandson of Joshua Dodge Sargent and Mary Foster Butman Sargent, emailed a question. His mother is Margaret Sargent Brown, a granddaughter of Joshua and Mary Sargent. Margaret Sargent Brown is pictured above in the back row on the far left, and possibly pictured below in this photo from the Stillwater School in 1922.


JGS notes -
This picture is marked 1922
and Stillwater Grade IV and V.
Is Margaret Sargent Brown
seated four back in the right row?

Bill asked,
"One question I have from looking at the Sargent Bros. Sawmill, circa 1911 photo. It looks like all of the output of the mill was in the form of aproximately 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x various lengths. The caption refers to them as spool bars. My question is what are spool bars?"
The next entry after this one answers his question. There is a lot to know about spool bars!

New information is always welcome that bears light on the Sargents in Alton, the Sargents in Monroe and prior generations. If you have letters, pictures or other information that you think may bear light on Joshua and Mary Sargent or prior generations of Sargents in Maine, please
