Philip S. `Bud' Jewett dies at 88
Philip `Bud' S. Jewett, a longtime sheep and dairy farmer in Gray, died unexpectedly on Thursday, June 25, at his Windham home. He was 88.
Bud Jewett was extremely active even into his 80s. Just recently, he stocked a trout pond with 225 brook trout in preparation for a fishfry on his birthday, which would have been October 10. He worked every day in his gardens, and just last winter helped deliver 189 lambs.
He loved his family, his sheep, his gardens and country fairs. He was particularly proud that two of his grandsons, Phil and Bill Webster, both of Windham, followed in his footsteps by having sheep herds of their own.
He was born in Skowhegan, a son of Albert A. and Belle P. Sanborn Jewett. He attended Skowhegan schools, and graduated from Skowhegan High School in 1927.
After graduation, Jewett moved to Standish to manage a herd of Jersey cattle for Dr. Smith. He stayed there for 11 years until Dr. Smith's death, after which he became a logger with his uncle, Fred Sanborn. During this period of his life, he also did some logging for Karl Merrill, of Gray, who eventually asked Bud to manage his farm.
So once again Bud Jewett was doing what he enjoyed most, working the land and caring for animals. He worked for Karl until the farm was sold to Mike and Marilyn Wilson in 1961. Knowing a good person when they saw one, the Wilsons kept Bud on until he `retired' in 1995.
During his more than 50 years on the farm, Bud made many friends among the townspeople of Gray. In later years, he was often seen caring for sheep at the home of Jim and Susan Gillies.
Surviving are two daughters, Fredonna Webster, of Windham, and Mary E. Moody, of Torrington, CT, 9 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. His wife, Gwendolyne H. McVicar Jewett, died in 1992.
