(5-12) the Town of Limerick, which is celebrating its 250th Anniversary. Limerick was one of a group of towns called the "Five Ossipee Towns." In 1668, the land was sold to Francis Small, and he conveyed half interest to Major Nicholas Shapleigh in 1669. In 1773, descendants of Small and Shapleigh agreed to give lawyer James Sullivan of Biddeford, "one half of thirteen thousand acres of land he had laid out, provided that Sullivan oblige himself to defend our claims." Sullivan and thirteen others from Biddeford and Saco settled in the area. Because of Sullivan's great support, hard work and character, the other settlers honored him by naming the town Limerick after his father's birthplace in Ireland. Farming was the leading industry for early settlers, with nine out of ten people receiving their main income from sales of cattle, hay and dairy products. By the early 1800s, there were 4 blacksmiths, 4 furniture makers, 4 shoemakers, 3 tanneries, 2 hatmakers and 2 harness makers. Manufacturing came in 1846 when James Bradbury established Limerick Manufacturing Company. In 1857, Joshua Holland bought the company. Holland Blankets were famous throughout the country and were supplied to thousands of soldiers during the Civil War. We extend to the citizens of Limerick our congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the town's 250th Anniversary;
