The desire of moral culture and education did not relax in this lonely region, and in 1800, a township school was organized, and the children were taught by Sarah Doane. The site of the school house was near Kingsbury's, on the ridge road. Cleveland received two additions in 1800, in the persons of David Clarke and Amos Spafford, the former of whom erected a house on Water street.
Doane had the letter and ask permission to tell her mother of her part in the secret message. The boat was already half afloat, and it was an easy matter to pull up the big stone attached to a strong rope which served as an anchor, and then to push off from shore.
"Miss Doane, you are causing me a lot of trouble not connected with the business of the estate; but of course I'll always help you. Every one will they can't help it." Drusilla drew a sigh of relief. "I'm glad to know you ain't agin me, 'cause I like you, even when you almost always come here to scold me. You ain't near so stiff inside as you are outside.
Hump Doane and Jim Rowlett were there, and Aaron Capper and Lincoln Thornton a handful who could speak with the voice of public opinion thereabouts, and while he carved industriously at his watch-charm basket, Parish Thornton glanced at the cripple.

Among those I most loved were two widely differing types Captain Doane, a retired sea-captain, and Relief Paine, an invalid chained to her couch, but whose beautiful influence permeated the community like an atmosphere.

The door opened, and Charles Doane, the Grand Marshal of the Vigilantes, advanced three steps into the room. "Mr. President," he said clearly, his voice cutting the stillness, "I am instructed to announce that James King of William is dead." Thursday noon was set for the funeral of the man who had given his life that a city might live.
As the business of sending off the water grew, the old Squire kept a hired man at the spring and the shed to look after the kegs and to draw the water. His name was James Doane. He had been with the old Squire six years and as a rule was a trustworthy man and a good worker. He had one failing: occasionally, although not very often, he would get drunk.
Drusilla looked at him quickly. "What you speakin' in that tone of voice for?" The doctor laughed rather hesitatingly. "I'm afraid, Miss Doane, that you're what the small boys call 'stung." "Stung? What do you mean?" "I rather imagine that was a little confidence game." "What is a confidence game?" "Oh, a man gets money from people on false pretenses. They work a lot of games.
He says, "As for Thomas Doane, Esquire, aw've doone wi' 'im." And theer's another gentleman, Mr. Lancy Doane, Esquire. He turns pious, and says, "Aw'm goin' for a coast-guardsman." What does the King on his throne say? 'E says, "Theer's the man for me."" But aw says, "Aw've doone, aw've doone wi' Mr. Lancy Doane, Esquire, and be damned to 'im!" He! he! Theer's a fancy sitovation for ye. Mr.

Ingram was a gaunt man with flamboyant hair, weather-beaten cheeks, and worried eyes.
