  <B>William Pennington </B>William Pennington came here from Canada. His father was born in England and came, when a young man, to Canada to seek his fortune. William was a minister, and since the only church in town at that time was at the Boundary, no doubt that is where he preached. He organized the church at Bunker Hill in 1865 and was the first preacher. He was married and had several children when he came here. Land was cheap at that time and, through his wife’s father, he was able to acquire a great deal of wild land, chiefly in the Portland Academy Grant. He did not stay in town many years, but moved to Houlton where he and his brother James went into the lumber business and farming. They also had a general store. The only one of William's children who remained in town was George L. Pennington. He went into the real estate business, selling much of his father's land to new settlers. He was a great lover of horses and kept many nice ones. He also imported western horses to sell to farmers, not only in town but throughout Aroostook. He died in 1911 at the age of 69. His son, James Pennington, lives in town today. He has two daughters Mabel (Mrs. Guy Twitchell) and Etta (Mrs. Frank Bradstreet) now living in Oregon. One son, Sam, lives with his father.
