Frank M. Tufts, who has recently purchased the farm in New Gloucester on which
he resides, is well known as a man of energy and practical business ability, his
present property being the outcome of honest toil. He was born in New
Gloucester, Cumberland County, Me., on March 23, 1868, and is a son of Nathaniel
G. and Annie (Harmon) Tufts.

Nathaniel G. Tufts is still a resident of New Gloucester. He is a farmer and a
man of enterprise, owning and operating a large cider-mill. His wife, Annie
Harmon, is a native of Brunswick, Me. Six children have been born into their
household, as follows James Albert, a prosperous farmer of New Gloucester, who
married a Miss Dutton, of Gray; Elizabeth Frances, the wife of W. L. Merrill, a
farmer living near North Gray; Annie Viola, residing in Lewiston, Me.; Frank M.;
Nathaniel Bennett, at home with his father; and Emma Brazier (deceased).

Frank M. Tufts received a good practical education in the common schools of New
Gloucester. He remained with his parents until he attained his majority, and
then engaged in farming in his native town for a year. After his marriage he
spent his summers in running a road machine, and in the winter engaged in the
lumber business, following up that plan of work until 1894, when he purchased
his present farm of one hundred and ten acres. During the past year his
principal products were hay, corn, and grain; but in the near future he intends
to devote considerable of his time and attention to stock raising.

On September 13, 1890, he was married to Miss Eliza J. Ward, a daughter of J. H.
Ward. Their union has been blessed by the birth of three children, all living,
as follows: Warren Ward, Clifton Russell, and Everett Gordon. Mr. Tufts has
always been a faithful adherent of the Democratic party. He and his wife are
active and influential members of the Baptist church of New Gloucester.
