This property was purchased from Nelson Dingley, senior, by members
of the Methodist church for six hundred dollars. A. M. Green of Troy,
father of the late Lyman Green, gave two hundred dollars. Elijah Ware,
Luther Mitchell, Josiah Harmon, Stephen, Harrison and John Chase, Col.
Seth Thompson and others gave liberally.
The house was built by Hiram Whitehouse and sold by him to Nelson
Dingley. It was here that Frank L. Dingley, present editor of the
Lewiston Journal, was born. Within recent years this building has been
enlarged and put into good condition, for which credit should be given
the Ladies’ Aid.
