Everett L. Huston, a member of the enterprising firm of Huston Brothers, who are
doing a successful saw-mill business at West Falmouth, was born in the town of
Falmouth, July 28, 1869, and is a son of Joseph W. and Mary (Babbige) Huston.

Stephen Huston, the paternal grandfather of Everett L., spent his boyhood in
Gray, Me.; but when a young man he came to Falmouth and engaged in farming. He
still follows that occupation, and is an honored and respected citizen of the
town. In political affiliations he is a Democrat, but has never been an aspirant
for public position. He attends the Baptist church.

Joseph W. Huston, a resident of West Falmouth, who is now engaged in carpentry,
formerly combined the vocations of a farmer and carpenter. About six years ago
he sold his farm, and since that time has given his attention to his trade. His
wife, whose maiden name was Mary Babbige, bore him five children, all of whom
are living. They are: Everett L., Leslie L., Stephen G., Carrie, and Minnie. In
political matters Joseph W. Huston, like his father, supports the Democratic
party. He is an attendant of the Baptist church, and a member of the Ancient
Brothers Lodge, No. 4, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Portland.

Everett L. Huston acquired a good practical education in the public schools of
West Falmouth, after which he learned the carpenter's trade of his father. He
continued to work with his father until 1892, then purchased the Edwin Merrill
saw-mill at West Falmouth, and in company with his brothers, Leslie L. and
Stephen G., under the firm name of Huston Brothers, has carried on a steadily
increasing business. The present capacity of the mill is between seven and eight
thousand feet per day; and in busy times they employ four or five men, and run
their mill day and night. They have recently made extensive additions to their
mill, and are soon to add a planer, edger, and rip saw, and will also erect an
additional building, twenty-one by thirty feet in ground area, which will enable
them to greatly enlarge their business.

Mr. Huston is unmarried. In religion and politics he follows the faith and
practice of his father and grandfather, attending public worship at the Baptist
church, and voting with the Democratic party. The only town office in which he
has served is that of Surveyor of Lumber, a position that he is well qualified
to fill, and in which he acquitted himself with credit. He is a member of
Presumpscot Lodge, No. 91, of Falmouth.
