Homer Hill: William Hoar came to Monson in 1826 and located on the land and built a house where the present house stands. The only other family living on the hill was a family by the name of Gates which sold their land and house (building no longer standing) to W. Hoar giving him the title to the whole hill. He sold two small parcels of land to the quarries to dump rubbish on. Homer Hill has always been a farm. From that time on Homer Hill has remained in the family, generation after generation, as follows: William Hoar married Betsy Goodell (daughter of Abel Goodell, surveyor). They had two sons - James and Henry. James went to Ohio where he changed his name to Homer. Henry also changed his name at the same time in 1874. Henry Homer married Sarah Mathews (sister to Robert Mathews' father). They had two sons Edward and Wallace and two daughters who died young. Wallace never married. Edward Homer married Eliza (Annie) Pennington. They had one daughter - Dorothy. Eliza Annie died and Edward remarried Myrtle Cook. They had one son - Henry. Dorothy Homer married Max Forbus. They had two daughters, Lucinda and Candida. Max Forbus died in Jan. 1970. Dorothy Forbus is the present owner and resides at the same location on Homer Hill. Henry Homer moved the house, formerly occupied by Goldsmith Harris, from below the Dore Farm on Homer Hill. This was the house where William and Betsy Hoar lived in their later years. Now occupied by Jane Harris.
Settlement at Monson, Maine.
