Gene-
One of the neat benefits from the Maine genforum query board is learning about places in Maine I never knew existed before!
Never knowing of Dyer Brook I looked it up on my trusty Maine Atlas and there it was- right beside Crystal, Island Falls Hersey and Mount Chase-( map 52) where I had been the day before searching another query!
The Town Clerks for towns in the area-

New Limerick( Aroostook Co.)

Island Falls( Aroostook Co.)
Cheryl L. McNally, POBox 100, Houlton St, Island Falls, Maine 04747- tel-207-463-2246
I mention all these towns because they are all close and there are Lougees in all.
I am connected to the Parsonsfield( York Co) family. From what I can see from the census records it looks like either the southern Maine Lougees or the NH Lougees migrated north to Aroostook after the 1850s. The County of Aroostook was est. in 1839. In the Maine Marriage Index there are Lougee marriages from 1840 on(nothing in Aroostook County) all in Kennebec, York, Piscataquis, and Penobscot Counties. This covers the time period up to 1892( but no where near complete) and then from 1892 on there is the Maine State Archives. In this I see 90+ Lougee marriages- 37 male and 60+ females. Several are from Oakfield, New Limerick, and Dyer Brook.
In the 1850 Census of Maine, NH, VT-there are Lougee names in the following-
Maine Counties-
York- Parsonsfield, Saco
Piscataquis- Sangerville
Waldo- Troy
nothing in Aroostook
In New Hampshire Counties-
Belknap- Barnstead, Gilmanton
Merrimack- Concord, Northfield, Loudon
Coos- Whitefield
From the 1900 Maine census-
Oakfield-( beside Dyer Brook)
Charles S. Lougee
New Limerick(east of Oakfield, near Houlton-
Ellsworth and Mantham Lougee
Houlton-
Theodore I. Lougee
Dyer Brook( listed under Crystal)-
Alphene F. Lougee
( this is the way the index person read the name but from what I can see it could be Alpheus also)- he is a widow at this census
born in March, 1833, age 67 at census- occupation- Farmer, born in Maine
listed with him is his daughter-
Ivey, Blanche- b. Aug, 1876, age 23, married 3 years, no children, b. in Maine
no husband listed
Do you have any idea what Alpheus's wife's name was? What about his parents?
E-mail me if you would like copies of anything I mentioned.
