        History

        Benjamin Worcester Prime (1805-1884) and his brother Thomas Merrell Prime (1800-1844) came to live in Dunham Township around 1820. The two families went to live in Brome, where Benjamin was a shoemaker and Thomas purchased a piece of land in 1842 at the southeast corner of Brome, near the West Bolton line on the old Magog Road [Stagecoach]. There, he built a hotel, which became known as the Prime Tavern. The farm was partially abandoned afterwards and was bought by the Farmer family. His wife Elizabeth Clement remarried in 1850 with William Gates and the family moved to Dunham. Their son Thomas Merrell Prime Jr (1836-1913), who was born in Dunham, studied medicine in the U.S.A. He bought out the practice of Dr. Charles Cotton and lived in Brome until 1874, when he moved to Knowlton.
