He was born in Belfast, on a farm near that on which the greater part of his life was spent, October 10, 1809, a son of Hon Nathan and Elizabeth Jeffery Read, who came to Belfast from Essex, Mass, in 1849. Judge Read was twice elected to represent the Essex District in the U.S. Congress, and after coming to Belfast was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Hancock County, which then included the present county of that name, all of Waldo and a part of Knox. It is claimed for Judge Read that in 1788-89 he invented the necessary machinery to adapt Watt's steam engine to boats and land carriages with the avowed and special purpose of applying it to both of these objects. He constructed models of a steamboat and locomotive, substantially upon the principle which afterwards gave Fulton and Stephenson their success. He died in Belfast Jan. 20, 1849. Charles Reed was one of seven children and was the last of the family to pass away. He married Rosina Blanchard, who died several years ago. They are survived by six sons and daughters, Charles J, George T and Willis (II) read of Belfast, Mrs Mary J Lowe and Mrs Narcissa W Barnham of Gloucester, and Mrs Rosetta Cyphers of Seattle, Wash. He was a farmer by occupation, an industrious and highly respected citizen, and retained his bodily and mental vigor to a remarkable degree nearly to the end. The funeral was held at his late home Monday afternoon, Rev. A. A. Smith officiating. The bearers were his neighbors, Rufus K Patterson, Howard Murphy, Joseph F Wight and Joseph B Wilson. The interment was in the family lot in Grove Cemetery. The Republican Journal February 1901 Contributor: Twig Of The Tree (48280310)
