Newspapers in Maine advertised the Temperance Camp Meeting at Martha's Grove, Fryeburg with the Hon. Sidney Perham, president. The Portland Daily Press (14 August 1880) announced that Reverend G.C. Babcock, the Secretary of the National Temperance Association, would make the opening address with meetings by Quaker Neal Dow (1804-1897, known as "Father of Prohibition" and "Napoleon of Temperance) and former governor and US representative Nelson Dingley (1832-1899).
