One of the peculiarities of the civil economy of Old Yarmouth may appropriately be noted in connection with the events preceding the division of the town. During the war it was customary to transact the public business by parishes. The people became so used to transact- ing public business in this way, that it was thought best to make two townships of Old Yarmouth, and by a vote of eighty -six to four, they decided to devide the town. The act of separation passed June 19, 1793, and took effect ...in- February following. The year of the final separation, the "South Sea" or West Yar- mouth parish was also set off, as will be seen by reference to the church history. Party spirit raged at the time as it had never before done. Yarmouth was an intensely Federal town, and the adherents of Mr. Jefferson were regarded as Jacobins and infidels. It was for- tunate for the peace of the town that there was so few of them here. In 1797, and for several years afterward, small-pox again raged in town, and a hospital for inoculation was established at Great island, now known as Point Gammon, In 1S08 permission was granted to David Kelley and others to build a draw-bridge over Bass river, be- tween Yarmouth and Dennis.
