Franklin County Officers

Franklin County Officers

The following information comes from a 1902-03 Directory of Farmington.

Someone added an historical section with lists of various positions held during the time between incorporation and the 1900 date. Information included was County data; I am assuming the information is accurate.

Keep in mind the County wasn't formed until 1838; it was previously part of Kennebec County, Somerset County, or Oxford County, depending on what area of the county being discussed.
