Below is the family record of my 5th Great-Grandparents, LOVELL and SARAH (WYMAN) SHATTUCK, found in the Solon, Somerset, Maine Vital Records on pg 49 [from microfilm, digitized on Family Search].

​Lovell was born in Pepperell, MA on 13 Jan 1807. He and Sarah Wyman married in Solon on 16 March 1826. He is found in the Solon, Maine censuses, 1830-1870.

(left) From a map of Somerset County in 1860, the homes of Lovell Shattuck and Joseph Brown (and wife Lucy, Lovell's daughter). According to the 1860 Agriculture Schedule, he had 10 acres of improved land, and 3 unimproved, with a $500. value. A decade earlier, he had 40/30.

Having lost a court case, he sold this land in South Solon and moved to the village. He had a 10 square rod lot on the west side of the country road to Bingham, next to E. Coolidge. He sold this on 30 Apr 1880 [Somerset Cty Deeds, v. 168, pg 91], and is not found on the 1880 census two months later.
Had he died in that two month time frame, he should have been listed in the 1880 Mortality Schedule. I am guessing that he had moved in with relatives after selling off his property, but he has yet to be found. No burial place has been found for him either. Wife Sarah, who died on 6 Sep 1877, has a stone in Solon Village Cemetery, but no other family members are beside her (son Alanson does have a plot a short distance away). 

During the Civil War, Lovell signed up with sons Alphonso and Josiah in Dec. 1861 (son William would do so 3 months later), into what would become Co. I of the 14th Maine Infantry. "Lovel" claimed to be age 44, though he was actually a decade older. He was home sick at the time he was supposed to gather for the medical exams, so never joined. Josiah, who was only 16 at the time, said he was 18, but was rejected. Alphonso was accepted, but died 8 months later from sickness in New Orleans. Below is the enlistment sheet (click on image to enlarge):

In the back of the Solon Village Cemetery and down an embankment stands the stone of Sarah Shattuck, the wife of Lovel. The base in the foreground may be hers, and perhaps her broken stone had been reset where it was found further back.
