In presenting to the public the " Gazetteer and Business Directory of Rutland County," we desire to return our sincere thanks to all who have kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of the county papers for the uniform kindness they have evinced in calling public attention to our efforts, and for essential aid in furnishing material for the work, particularly the manager and editors of the Rutland Herald, who have so kindly opened to our perusal their valuable file of papers. We have also found valuable aid from the writings of Mr. Henry Hall ; also in A. N. Adams' "History of Fairhaven;" Hiel Hollister's "History of Pawlet;" Joslin, Frisbie and Ruggles' " History of Poultney and Middletown ; " Paul & Parks' " History of Wells ; " J. C. Williams' " History of Danby;" also from the various authors in Miss Hemenway's " Historical Magazine ; " Caverly's "History of Pittsford," and from Beers, Ellis & Soule's "Atlas of Rutland County." The geological report is extracted from Hitchcocks & Hager's " Geology of Vermont Reports of 1861." Our thanks are also due to the clergy throughout the county, and to Col. Merritt, Mrs. Cora Jones, Rev. C. A. Thomas, Dr. Chauncey L. Case, J. F. McCollam, John A. Conant and S. K. Christie, of Brandon ; Rollin Gleason, Dr. J. P. Newton, W. A. Ransom, Philo Wilcox, and E. L. Barber, of Benson ; Edwin Congdon, of Clarendon ; Capt. Abel E. Leavenworth, of Castleton; Sheridan C. Gibbs, of Pittsfield ; Capen Leonard, of Pittsford ; Dr. J. E. Hitt, formerly of Wallingford, now of Gran ville, N. Y. ; E. R. Allen, Rev. W. H. Sanderson and S. E. Rogers, of Wal lingford; M. O. Hammond, of Mt. Holly; Myron M. Dikeman, Seneca Root and Cyrus Jennings, of Hubbardton; R. Buel, Jr., of Middletown; Rev. E. H. Randall and Rev. C. H. Dunton, of Poultney; Ex-Gov. Redfield Proctor, Ex-Gov. John B. Page, Henry Clark, Henry Hall, Luther Daniels, L. G. Kingsley, V. C. Meyerhoffer, Dr. George A. Fox, Dr. John A. Mead and Franklin Billings, of Rutland ; Willard Guild, of Shrewsbury ; Aaron S. Ketcham, of Sudbury; Rodney C. Abell and Willard L. Hitchcock, of Westhaven; John H. Mead and J. E. Manley, of West Rutland; R. M. Lewis, of Wells; and to many others throughout the county who have rendered valuable aid. That errors have occurred in so great a number of names is probable ; and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite INTRODUCTION. certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary dili gence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions, we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in noting such as have been' observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are found in the Errata, following the Introduction. It was designed to give a brief account of all the church and other socie ties in the county, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who were able to give the necessary information, and in others, to the inability of any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit special notices of a few. We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory. The names it em braces, and the information connected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom they were solicited render practicable. Each agent is furnished with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass over every road, and call at every farm house and place of business in the town, in order to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned wherever possible. The margins have been left broad to enable any one to note changes opposite the names. The Advertisers represent many of the leading firms and business men of this and other counties ; and we most cheerfully commend them to the patronage of those under whose observation these pages may come. We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in these pages will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief history of the county the scope of the work enables us to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hppe that it may prove a nucleus and incentive to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject. While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we leave the work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public, hoping they will bear in mind, should errors be noted, that " he who expects a perfect work to see, expects what ne'er was, is, nor yet shall be."

Pelton, Book and Job Printer, Blank Book Manufacturer and Bookbinder, in Merchants row, Globe block, Rutland, inserts a card op posite page 644. Mr. Pelton is energetic, persevering, and has a talent for his business. He likes it and is bound to succeed. His facilities are equal to almost any demand likely to be made of him, and he will keep up with the times. Patronize him. John R Adair, proprietor of Wallingford Monumental Works, near the depot, publishes a card on page 550. We take pleasure in calling the attention of the public to Mr. Adair, on account of the reputation he has gained for a uniform quality of work, made from superior designs, using nothing but the best materials, as will be seen by visiting the different ' cemeteries through the county.

Prichard, breeder of full blood merino sheep, of the Atwood strain, at Pittsford, prints a card on page 401. As it costs no more to feed a good animal than a poor one, all should procure the best. Charles W. Gardner, of Fairhaven, is a breeder of pure blood Jersey cattle. From his herd he will supply gentlemen with choice stock at satis factory prices. He is also making some of the finest butter in the country. Card on page 474. H. W. Kingsley, for many years a Merchant Tailor in Rutland, publishes a card on page 482. As custom made clothes fit better and wear longer than others, remember his location, 13^ Merchants row, when in need of "some thing to wear." Levi Premo, the Carriage Maker and Blacksmith, on Wales St., Rutland, prints a cut of one of his new "side bars" on last fly leaf. Mr. Premo has built up a successful business, in which he is greatly aided by his son, Levi A. In addition to his carriage business he has a fine Livery, where may be had good rigs at reasonable rates. Otter Creek House, E. E. Rich, proprietor, at Pittsford, is one of the pleasantest hotels in the county. The cut of this House, on page 398, is not • a fair representation by any means..

The famous Merino Sheep, the breeding of which Vermont is so justly celebrated, is brought to as fine a state of perfection in Rutland County, and it produces as fine specimens, as any district in the world. The Merino is the most important breed of sheep as regards the texture of the wool. The breed in modern times was brought to great perfection in Spain, though their originals probably formed the flocks of the patriarchs (PoNEY. — Weight, 148 lbs. ; Fleece, 26 lbs. 4 oz. Sired by Bull-Dog, by Dean's Little Wrinkly, by Sweepstakes, by Little Wrinkly, (Hammond's,) by Old Wrinkly, by Old Greasy, by Wooster, by Old Black. Dam Poney Ewe, (fleece, 16 lbs. 3 oz.); by Green Mountain. Dam to Poney Ewe, Old Stubs, bred by V. Rich, Shoreham, Vt. A pure Spanish Merino Ram, bred and owned by John H. Mead, West Rutland Vt.) thousands of years ago and have been the stock of all the fine-wooled sheep. They have wool growing on their foreheads and cheeks ; the horns are very large and heavy, and convulated laterally ; the wool is fine, long, soft and twisted in silky spiral ringlets, and naturally so oily that the fleece looks dingy and unclean from the dust and dirt adhering to the outside ; the form is not so symmetrical as in many English breeds, and there is generally a loose skin hanging from the neck and other parts of the body. Both Spanish and French Merinos have been introduced into the United States, the former by Hon. David Humphreys, Minister to the Court of Madrid, in 1802, and the latter by Mr. Taintor, of Hartford, Conn., in 1846; 40 RUTLAND COUNTY. it is said that three Spanish Merinos were brought to Boston in 1793, by William Foster, but they were not preserved for breeding purposes. In Rutland County the breeding of Merino sheep has been brought to such a state of perfection, that it may indeed be called without exaggeration, a " science." First, and foremost among the old masters in this line, should be mentioned, Mr. Dyer Townsend of Wallingford, the oldest sheep breeder in the State, and a man who in the early history of the breeding of Merino sheep in Rutland County, in 1827, purchased thirteen Merinos brought from Connecticut by Mr. Frederick Button. For a long term of years Mr. Townsend was said to have the best Merino sheep in the State. Rutland County sheep breeders are justly proud of his record. Mr. Townsend is to-day a hale, hearty man, 94 years of age, having never seen a day's sickness, never had the headache and "cannot remember when he has missed a meal." A man possessed of the highest moral char acter, and never having allowed himself the use of intoxicating liquors, he stands to-day a living monument in favor of the cause of temperance. He still superintends a large farm, attends to banking, and much other business, but at the same time does not forget his early love for fine Merinos. He still retains a small flock of the same blood he has so long bred, and standing at the head of this flock is a fine ram, sired by " Poney " whose picture heads this article. Mr. Alfred Hull, also of Wallingford, bought of Mr. Atwood, of Connecti cut, in 1 849, a few sheep which he bred in company with Col. N. T. Sprague, of Brandon, a former president of the Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders' As sociation. In 1827, Deacon Frederick Button, of Clarendon, bought of Stephen At wood, of Connecticut, two lots of Merinos, from which he bred a flock, after wards breeding in blood from the flocks of Consul Jarvis. At the time Mr. Button made one of these purchases, he was accompanied by Mr. David P. Holden, of Wallingford, who also purchased a few. " These are the first Atwood sheep brought into Vermont," says Mr. Albert Chapman, editor of The Vermont Merino Sheep Register. The father of Edward Hinds, of Brandon, also bred one of the leading flocks in Vermont, of Atwood blood, and Edward has a flock of the same blood. Mr. J. S. Benedict, of Castleton, also one of the old-time breeders, has one of the prime flocks of the State, his breed being largely tinctured with blood of the " Rich " flock, bred by V. Rich, in Addison County, and one of the most valuable breeds in the State. During the late civil war, the flock owned and bred by Mr. Milton Barber, of Hubbardton, was one of the best in the State, but is now scattered. Hon. Bradley Fish, of Ira, has a flock of long standing and is a very suc cessful breeder. Many flocks of considerable importance have been scattered abroad which RUTLAND COUNTY. 41 our space will not allow mention of. We can speak of only a few of the most important. The flock owned by the late Capt. Joseph Sheldon, of Fairhaven, was one of the finest showing flocks in the State. Another fine flock was the old "Mead" flock of Jarvis sheep, purchased by Esquire Abner Mead, and bred a long time by him, and afterwards by his son, Andrew Jackson Mead. In the early days, Mr. Mead would drive a lot of fine cattle over to Weathersfield, Vt., the home of Consul Jarvis, which he would there exchange for a few small Merino sheep, bringing them over the Green Mountains in a lumber wagon. Since this time the Mead farm, at West Rutland, has always been noted for its sheep breeding. The Merinos early imported from Spain by Consul Jarvis, would only shear ewes, from three to four pounds, and rams, from four to seven pounds, the fleeces shrinking, by cleansing, from one-third to one-half their weight. After a time, from this stock, Abner Mead bred a ram which became quite noted, and was widely known as " Old Tiger," and which sheared a fleece of seven pounds weight. There is now on the Mead farm a flock that has descended, after sixteen years careful care and attention, from one ewe bred by Mr. V. Rich, of Shore- ham, Vt. These sheep are called by their present owner, Mr. John H. Mead, the " Stub's family '' of Rich sheep, from the fact of the grand dam being called " Old Stubs." Two ram tegs from this flock were publicly shorn, May 3, 1881, which sheared respectively, 17 pounds 6 ounces, and 17 pounds 8 ounces, and at the same time two ewe tegs which cut 15 pounds 10 ounces, and 16 pounds 14 ounces. Some of the best Merino rams shear over 30 pounds, cleansing nearly ro pounds. The famous " Peck " ram, that sired the ewes exhibited by Hon. Geo. Campbell, of Westminster, Vt., at the World's Fair in Europe, and which took the first prize, was bought by Col. N. T. Sprague, of Brandon, and left stock that made its mark in Rutland county. One of its descendants was the famous ram "Green Mountain," owned by Mr. Elijah Smith, of West Rut land. Green Mountain gained a great name as a stock animal, and was a source of great profit to his worthy owner. The following, very fully illustrates what has been done towards increasing the value of the Merino sheep : Where the original Spanish Merino had but about 1,500 wool hairs to the square inch, by careful breeding, the growth has been increased to nearly 6,000 in the same space. Some of the most prominent breeders of Rutland County that have hot already been mentioned are, F. & J. Q. Smith, Samuel Boardman & Son, J. Cook, R. C. Mead and Leonard F. B. Gorham, of West Rutland; Harry Collins, Lester Fish, Leonard Fish, C. Lincoln, and Henry, Lyman W. and Albert Fish, of Ira ; Hiram and Rufus R. Hamilton and J. A. Ellis, of Fair haven ; F. H. Button, of Clarendon ; F. H. Farrington, D. W. Prime and D. Blackmer, of Brandon ; O. C. Martin and Rollin Gleason, of Benson ; D. T. Holden & Son, G. Pritehard, E. C. Wheaton, and W. P., Thos.

RUTLAND COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The Rutland County Agricultural Society was organized, and held its first Fair in 1846, at Castleton. Its first principal officers were, William L. Farn- ham, of Poultney, president ; Orel Cook, of Rutland, secretary, and Hon. Zimri Howe, of Castleton, treasurer. For many years the annual Fairs were held, alternately, at Rutland and Castleton. One year, 1852, the annual exhibition was held at Poultney, and is the only exception of its being held at other than the places named. In i860, the annual exhibitions were permanently located at Rutland. Some forty acres of land were purchased, situated about a mile south of the village, and buildings, sheds and race track erected, and the annual Fairs have since been held thereon, the Vermont State Fair being held upon the grounds nine years. The Society has had its days of prosperity and adversity — " fair weather and foul," but is now in a flourishing condition, with $600.00 in its treasury. The following is a list of the executive officers from the organization : — Presidents — William L. Farnham, Poultney ; David Hall, Pittsford ; Henry W. Lester, Rutland ; Joseph Sheldon, Fairhaven ; Bradley Fish, Ira ; Alpha H. Post, Rutland; Henry Hayward, Rutland; A. D. Smith, Danby; Pitt W. Hyde, Castleton ; L. H. Kellogg, Benson ; Lensey Rounds, Clarendon ; J. S. Benedict, Castleton ; Henry F. Lathrop, Pittsford ; Horace H. Dyer, Rut land ; Henry Clark, Rutland. Secretaries — Orel Cook, Rutland, ten years ; W. H. Smith, Rutland, ten years ; Henry Clark, Rutland, fifteen years ; Miner Hilliard, Rutland ; Len sey Rounds, Clarendon ; Cornelius C. Pierce, East Clarendon. Treasurers — Zimri Howe, Castleton, fifteen years; Miner Hilliard, Rut land ; A. D. Smith, Danby ; Jesse L. Billings, Rutland ; Walter C. Landon, Rutland. MANUFACTURES. Of the manufacturing interests, that of marble and slate, in their various branches, are the most important. Much capital is also employed in the man ufacture of various kinds of machinery, scales, buttons, soap, paint, paper- stock, etc., etc. In some of the towns, lumbering, with its various pro ducts is most important. According to the U. S. census of 1870, the county had 377 manufacturing establishments, operated by 32 steam engines and 199 water-wheels, giving employment to 2,145 males and 84 females; there being a capital of $3,190,855.00 invested in manufactures. However, statistics from the census of 1880, when tabulated and given to the public, will show a large increase in these figures. In connection with the history of the various townships, the manufactures will be spoken of in detail. RUTLAND COUNTY. 43 COUNTY BUILDINGS. As previously stated, Court was held at Tinmouth, from 1781 to 1784, when it was removed to Rutland. The Court House, for eight years, from 178410 1792, was the old gambrel- roofed building, still standing, next west of the Advent Chapel, on West street, in this village. Externally, it was then substantially as now. It had only two rooms, one with a floor, and the other none. The west one was the cour.t-room, having a floor and seats on the north side, a little elevated, for the judges, and benches for the jurors, witnesses and spectators. The east room had no floor, and answered all the other purposes of a court house, grand and petit jury-room, &c. The jail was built of logs and stood a few yards to the north-west of the court house. Humble as this old building may appear to our modern eyes, there yet hovers about it a wealth of historical interest that well may fill us with feelings of veneration. It was here that the first United States District Court ever held in Vermont had its session, on the first Monday in May, 1791, with Nathaniel Chipman as Judge, and Frederick Hill as Clerk. The State Leg islature met here in October, 1784 and 1786, and it was under the brief control of the anti-court mob, in November, 1786. Each board and timber of the venerable structure, were they endowed with speech, would doubtless rehearse to us many tales of joy and sorrow, strangely mingling the tragic with the comic in their narrative of those who have long since "gone before." In the year 1792, a more pretentious court house was built on Main street, just above the old Franklin House; the funds for its completion being furnished by voluntary contribution. It was built of wood, framed and clapboarded, facing towards the north. During the first session of the Legislature therein, there was passed, October, 25, 1792, "An act for the purpose of raising by lottery, the sum of one hundred and sixty pounds lawful money, for the pur pose of defraying the expense of building the new Court House in Rutland." The building remained wholly of wood until the year 1828, when George W. Daniels, as contractor, bricked up the outside eight inches thick, sub letting the wood work to W. W. Bailey, the expense being paid by the citizens. An extension of twenty feet was put on the building in 1844, under the supervision of Zimri Howe of Castleton, as first County Judge. For over seventy-five years outraged law was avenged, and justice meted out from this building, until the great fire of early morning, April 3, 1868, when it was destroyed. The Court was in session at the time of the fire, and for the remainder of that term was held at the rooms of Judge Prout, the pre siding Judge ; one term it was held in the Christian Association rooms, and two in the Town Hall, after which, until the partial completion of the new Court House, was held in the U. S. Court Room. 44 RUTLAND COUNTY. The new Court House was commenced the year following the fire, 1869, and first occupied in March 1871, $72,000.00 having been expended in its construction up to present date. It is a fine building, situated on the corner of Court and Centre streets, built of pressed brick, all but the steps, trim mings and foundation walls, which are of Chester granite. The first floor of the building contains the offices of the County Clerk, Judge of Probate, and Sheriff. On the second floor is the Court Room and office of the presiding Judge. The basement was originally intended to be occupied by cells for criminals awaiting trial, but has not been completed, and probably never will, for the reason that a portion of the House of Correction has been set off as a jail for Rutland County.

The poor of the County are supported by the towns where the applicants reside, and it is to the credit of some of the towns that the office of Overseer of the Poor is almost that of a sinecure. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. The railroad between Rutland and Bennington was built under an act of the Legislature, passed November 5, 1845, incorporating the Western Ver mont Railroad Company. The Company was duly organized, and the first Board of Directors, elected Feb. 28th, 1850, were Myron Clarke, President; Aaron R. Vail, Vice- President ; Robert Pierpoint, Robinson Hall, Ira Cochran, Martin C. Dem- ing, Asahel Hurd, Lemuel Bottum, Alanson P. Lyman. Seneca Smith was chosen Clerk, The road was put into operation in 1852. The title of the original stockholders having been extinguished by the foreclosure of the first mortgage, January 1, 1857, the road passed into the possession of Shepherd Knapp and George Briggs, Trustees, who leased it to the Troy & Boston Railroad Company, by which it was run until January 16, 1867, Meantime, July 28, 1865, the bondholders organized a new cor poration, called the Bennington & Rutland Railroad Company, of which the first Board of Directors were Trevor W. Park, President ; Hiland Hall, Alanson P. Lyman, Chas. E. Houghton, M. Carter Hall, Chas. G. Lincoln, Treasurer; Nathaniel B. Hall, Hugh Henry Baxter, Geo. W. Harmon, Clerk. Subsequently, on the 8th day of August, 1877, a new corporation, called the Bennington & Rutland Railway Company, was organized with the following named directors : — Abraham B. Gardner, President ; Augustus Schell, Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Benjamin R. Sears and Trenor W. Park. George W. Harman was chosen Clerk, and C. E. Houghton, Treasurer. The road is now run by that company, and the following are its officers :— Trenor W. Park, President ; John G. McCullough, Vice-President; Geo. W. RUTLAND COUNTY. 45 Harman, Clerk ; Chas. E. Houghton, Treasurer ; and Abraham B. Gardner, Directors. The Rutland and Washington Railroad Company was organized under an Act approved by the Legislature November 13, 1847. The first meeting was held at West Poultney, on the 23d of February, 1848, at which the following Board of Directors were chosen : — Merritt Clark, Marcus G. Langdon, Henry Stanley, Isaac W. Thompson, Horace Clark, Edgar L. Ormsbee and Milton Brown. Merritt Clark was subsequently elected President," and Horace Clark, his brother, Treasurer and Superintendent. The Board of Directors continued nearly the same for two years, when the road was opened through to Salem, forming a continuous Une from Rutland to Troy, N. Y. Four years from the day of organization, Horace Clark, a pioneer and master-spirit in projecting and completing the road, died, on the 25th of February, 1852 ; the day appointed for celebrating its opening, witnessed his funeral rites and burial. The road cost about one million of dollars, and did not at first prove a financial success. Jay Gould became Superintendent of the road January 1, 1864, having his headquarters for the first two years at Rutland, boarding at the Bardwell House. In July of 1876 he negotiated the sale of the road to the D. & H. C. Co., by which it is still owned and operated, doing a prosperous business. The Champlain and Connecticut River Railroad was incorporated Novem ber 1, 1843. The first meeting of stockholders was held at Rutland, May 6, 1845, with Timothy Follett of Burlington, chairman, and Ambrose L. Brown of Rutland, clerk. Voted to open subscriptions for stock, June 10, 1845. June 12, 1845, more than 2,000 shares having been subscribed to the capi tal stock, stockholders were notified to meet at the court house in Rutland for choice of nine directors, which were chosen as follows : — Timothy Follett, Samuel Barker, Ira Stewart, Charles Linsley, John A. Conant, Chester Gran ger, George T. Hodges, William Henry, and Henry N. Fullerton. Subse quently, January 14, 1846, the following were chosen directors in place of the old board : — Timothy Follett, Samuel P. Strong, William Nash, Charles Lins ley, John A. Conant, Chester Granger, George T. Hodges, Nathaniel Fuller- ton, William Henry, John Elliott, Horace Gray, Samuel Dana, and Samuel Henshaw, with Timothy Follett, president. The first blow towards its construction was struck during the month of February, 1847, in the town of Rockingham, near Bellows Falls. Two years and nine months sufficed to complete the road, and it was opened through, December 18, 1849. The name of the road was changed to the Rutland 6» Burlington Railroad Company by an Act of the Legislature, November 6, 1847. It was subse quently changed to, the Rutland Railroad Company, Hon. John B. Page be ing now president, and Joel M. Haven, treasurer. Thus, through various changes and vicissitudes, litigations and bankruptcy, the whole line, its buildings, etc., on the ist day of January, 187 1, was leased for a period of 46 RUTLAND COUNTY. twenty years to the Vermont Central Railroad Company, since which time, and under the new organization of the Central Vermont Railroad Company, it has rapidly grown in prosperity. The Rutland and Whitehall Railroad, from Castleton to Whitehall, N. Y., twenty-four miles in length, was organized under an Act approved by the Legis lature, November 13, 1847, and the road completed in 1850. Soon after its completion, it was leased to the Renssalaer and Saratoga R. R. Co., who operated it until 1866, when it was leased to Jay Gould. On July ist of the same year, Mr. Gould gave a perpetual lease of the road to the D. & H. C. Co., by whom it is still operated. A. W. and Pitt W. Hyde, William C. Kittridge and Alanson Albee were the chief promoters of the enterprise. The first officers were, A. W. Hyde of Castleton, President; Alanson Albee of Fairhaven, Vice-President; P. W. Hyde, Clerk ; and W. C. Kittridge of Fairhaven, Treasurer. These, with W. W. Cooley, now president of the corporation, constituted the first Board of Directors. NEWSPAPERS. Six weekly papers are published in the county, with one daily, and one is sued monthly. Rutland. —The first paper ever published in the county was The Herald of Vermont or Rutland Courier; a weekly, edited and published by Anthony Haswell. The first copy was issued June 18, 1792, and contained the follow ing motto which clearly proclaims the character of the paper : "Let Sentiment flow Free and Candour guide, We Own no Party, and Espouse no Side." This paper was only continued a few months, when the printing office was destroyed by fire, either Sunday, September 16th or 23d, 1792. This put a stop to the publication of the sheet, and it was never again resumed, although the Legislature at Rutland on the 31st of October following, "passed an act granting a Lottery to A. Haswell, to raise ^200 to repair the damages sus tained by him on account of the destruction of his printing office by fire." In 1793, James Lyon commenced the publication of the "Farmer's Libra-, ry or Vermont Political and Historical Register." The first copy was issued April ist, and the publication continued until November 29th, 1794, when the concern was purchased by Judge Samuel Williams and Rev. Samuel Williams, LL. D., and on the 8th day of December, 1794, the first number of the RUT LAND HERALD was issued by them under the name oi" The Rutland Herald or Vermont Mercury." In the first number the proprietors say, " As we have purchased of Mr. Lyon, editor of the Farmers Library, the Printing Office, Apparatus, and Privileges annexed by Law to his paper, it will for the future be carried on by the subscribers, with the above title, under the direction of Dr. Williams. * * * * The price of the Herald will be nine shillings per annum, to those to whom we send the paper ourselves ; seven shillings and sixpence to those who call at the office and take them." On Monday, June RUTLAND COUNTY. 47 29. ^95, the title was changed to "The Rutland Herald, a Register of the Times." During the different changes of proprietors it has met with several slight variations in its title, but was always known as the Herald. The paper was continued by the two Williams until the first part of the pres ent century, when it was taken by William Fay. In 1817, the firm was Fay & Davison, and later in the same year changed to Fay, Davison* & Burt, Davison afterwards becoming president of the Saratoga & Whitehall Railroad. In 1819 it was again changed to Fay & Burt. Burt remained in the firm one year, when the business was again carried on by Fay alone, until the lat ter part of 1827. From this time forward the business changed hands quite often, the changes occurring as follows : From the time Fay left it until 1830, by E. C. Purdy ; i83i-'32, E. Maxham; 1833, Maxham & Tuttle, and G. A. Tuttle alone, from March 5th to April 12th; 1834-38, William Fay;. (Fay died in 1839.) i839-'42, White, Everson & Co., and H. F. White & Co.; 1843, White & Gurnsey, (Gurnsey inventing the well known printing press, bearing this name;) 1844, H. T. White, and from April of that year until 1851, Geo. H. Beaman; 1851, George H. Beaman and G. A. Tuttle; 1852- '54, George H. Beaman; 1855, and part of '56, C. H. Hayden, publisher, and printed by G. A. Tuttle & Co., the latter then taking the business, which they retained until 1862. September 1, 1862, Tuttle & Gay; 1866, Tuttle, Gay & Co., and later in the same year, Tuttle & Co.; February 10, 1872, A. H. Tuttle; July 1, 1873, Tuttle & Redington; February 16, 1874, A. H. Tuttle. In 1875, S. B. Pettingill and W. P. Winslow joined Tuttle, under the firm-name of the " Herald Association." Winslow died, and the paper was conducted by the remaining partners, until September 1, 1877, when the Globe was consolidated with the Herald, and a new corporation, " The Herald and Globe Association" was formed by the stockholders of both papers, who now issue THE RUTLAND HERALD AND GLOBE, with Mr. A. H. Tuttle as manager and principal proprietor. The first daily was issued April 29, 1861. It grew out of the exigencies of the late war, being first started as an experiment, but has since become one of the fixed institutions of Rutland. The HERALD, one of the oldest papers in the U. S., under the present efficient management, continues, as it has in the past, to exert a wonderful influence over the minds of the people of Vermont ; and to its credit, it may be said, its influence is always for the good. In January, 1795, tne nrst number of The Rural Magazine or Vermont Repository was issued, with Rev. Samuel Williams, editor. The last number was issued in December, 1796. In 1802, the Vermont Mercury was started by Stephen Hodgman. This was an independent weekly, and continued but a short jime. On July 25, 1808, the first number of the Vermont Courier was issued by Thomas M. Pomeroy, and was continued until May, 1810. On August 29, 1848, The Rutland Republican was commenced by Simeon Locke, and had for its motto the following:— "Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor and Free Men." It was continued but a short time. 48 RUTLAND COUNTY. In September, 1849, The Vermont Union Whig was issued, a home newspaper devoted to politics and literature, published at Rutland and Bran don every Wednesday; William C. Conant, editor at Rutland, and Samuel M. Conant, at Brandon. The first steam printing press ever used in Rutland County was used for the first time in printing the first number of this paper at Rutland. It was issued but a few months and died. The first number of it issued in Brandon, was in 1847. In January, 1855, The Guard of American Liberty was started, edited and published by H. F. Potter. It was devoted to " Know-Nothingism." Only a few numbers were ever issued. On August 12, 1857, The Rutland Courier was commenced, and published every Friday morning for several years, by Cain & McLean, with John Cain, editor. It was purchased by the Globe Paper Co., in April, 1872, and dis continued as an individual paper. ' In July, 1858, Whafs the News, a monthly paper, was commenced by William A. Bacon. Only continued a short time. July 21, 1866, The Rutland County Independent was, commenced by James K. McLean and Thos. C. Robbins. An introductory number was issued July 4, 1866, but the first regular number not until July 21st. The name was soon after changed to the Rutland Independent. Mr. Robbins with drew from the firm, and in April, 1872, Mr. McLean sold out to the Globe Paper Co., when the enterprise was discontinued as an independent paper. In January of 1870, the first number of the Rutland Times was issued, a boy's paper, issued weekly, edited and published by McLean & Aiken, the former a son of James K The paper was suspended in November of 1871. The Marble City Mirror, a weekly, was published during a few months of 1870, by James H. Lansley. The Vermotit Mason, a monthly, was commenced by Henry Clark in May of 1871, and continued by him until May of 1873, when it was discontinued. The Biblical Messenger, a monthly, was started by A. A. Hoyt in 1872, and discontinued after a few issues. v The Rutlaiid Globe, (daily and weekly,) was commenced May 1, 1873, by the Globe Paper Co, who had previously purchased the Rutland Courier and Rutland Independent, and continued by them until September 1 1877 when it was consolidated with the Herald, and has since been issued 'as the HERALD AND GLOBE, by the Herald and Globe Asssociation The Leader, issued weekly, was commenced January 1, 1.877 by Henry Clark, who continued it until September 1, 1879, when he sold i't to James L. McArthur, and was changed by him to the Rutland Times (which see ) The Inquirer was started by V. C. Meyerhoffer in January of 1878 In October of the following year it was purchased by H. W. Love who con- solidated it with the Review. The Sunday Review was started by H. W. Love, on the 2nd of April 1878, as a branch of the Sunday Review of Burlington. Under this name RUTLAND COUNTY. 49 it was continued about one year and then changed to the Saturday Evening Review, and soon after the Inquirer was united with it, and the name again changed, to the Review Inquirer. August 5, 1880, the office was taken pos session of under a chattel mortgage, and from that date the Review and Inquirer were published as separate papers ; the former by Love, as the RUTLAND REVIEW, (and is now published by the Review Association,) and the latter by L. W. Redington. The Inquirer was subsequently purchased by Geo. E. Richardson, who suspended its publication in 1881, for the purpose of starting a new paper, to be known as the RUTLAND STANDARD, the initial number of which is expected to be issued about September ist of this year. It is the intention of the publisher to maintain in this paper an independent position in regard to politics, and aim to make the interests of Rutland County its interests. Mr. G. E. Richardson, its publisher and editor, has had considerable experience in the newspaper business, having at one time been proprietor of the Thomaston, (Me.) Herald and Printing House, in which capacity he acquired a reputation for marked ability and sagacity, which cannot fail to be of great value to him in his present undertaking. On September 1, 1879, The Rutland Times, a daily and weekly, was com menced by James L. McArthur. It was issued about three weeks and then discontinued. THE VERMONT BAPTIST was started in March, 1879, by Rev. Justin K. Richardson, and is still continued by him. It is issued on the 10th of each month, devoted to the interests of the Vermont Baptist State Conven tion. Poultney. — The Poultney Gazette was started in November, 1822, by Sanford Smith and John R. Shute, at East Poultney. This paper was con tinued by them until January, 1825, when it was changed to The Northern Spectator, which they continued to publish for just one year, when it became the property of an association, with "D. Dewey and A. Bliss, agents for the proprietors." They continued in this capacity several months, when they were succeeded by E. G. Stone. He was succeeded by several others, until June 11, 1830, when the paper was discontinued. The Spectator will always remain famous, as being the office where Horace Greeley learned the printer's trade. The Poultney Owl was published about six months, in 1867, by James H. Lansley. On March 12, 1868, the first number of The Poultney Bulletin was issued by J. A. Morris, with John Newman, editor, and Geo. C. Newman, assistant editor. It was published by Morris one year, when Geo. C. Newman became publisher. On October 7, 1869, Hon. Barnes Frisbie became editor, and re mained until June, 1870. In September, 1870, H. L. Stillson and William Haswell became publishers, Stillson again selling his share of the concern to Haswell, on August 8, 1871, who published it until November, 1873. In 50 RUTLAND COUNTY. December following, R. J. Humphrey bought the Bulletin office, and issued the first number of the POULTNEY JOURNAL, December 8, 1873. The Journal has been published since that date to the present time— four years by Mr. Humphrey, two and a half years by Frisbie & Neagles, and then by Frisbie & Ross, until about April 1, 1881, when Mr. Charles W. Potter purchased Mr. Frisbie's in terest, and it is now published by Potter & Ross. The T. C. A. Casket was issued for a time by the students of the Troy Conference Academy, during the time Bishop Jesse T. Peck, now Qf Syracuse, N. Y, was principal of that institution. The Ripley Female College Quarterly, composed of contributions by stu dents, was edited and published here for a time by John W. Newman, D. D, president of the college. The Golden Sheaf a paper issued by the students of Troy Conference Academy, during 1876-77, was printed at the Journal office. Wallingford. — A part of the time between the years 1855-60, there was a small sheet published at this village by P. H. Emerson and Amasa Bishop, called the Local Spy. The printing was also done here. In 1877 The Wallingford Standard was established by Addison G. Stone a part of the time issued by S. Sabin, and continued until 1880, when it was discontinued. The printing was done a part of the time at Bennington and a part at Brandon. Danby — .The Otter Creek Valley News was begun in September, 1878, printed at Bennington, Vt, by A. S. Baker & Son, and published by J. C. Williams, editor, issued every Friday, independent in character. Was discon tinued in 1880. Notes on Brandon Newspapers. — (See Table opposite page.) The Telegraph was started by a joint stock company, to some extent under the supervision of the Baptist State Convention. Ephraim Maxham, now connected with the Waterville, Maine, Mail, was publisher for the proprie tors. Murray, on becoming editor and publisher, made the paper anti-slavery, and finally infidel. Rev. Nathan Brown, one of the early editors of the Tele graph, went as a missionary to India ; he translated the New Testament into the language of the Rig- Veda, Vajur-Veda, Sama-Veda and Authora-Veda, and afterward founded the American Baptist. The Voice of Freedom was published at Montpelier four years before it was removed to Brandon. The Vermont Record was removed to Brattleboro. D. C. Hackett, who started the OTTER CREEK NEWS, brought his office to Brandon from . Ludlow, where he had been publishing the Black River Gazette, the Gazette being printed for some months in the News office, and then suspended. NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED IN BRANDON. NAME.

Fairhaven. — In 1793, Mathew Lyon has been said to have started the Farmers' Library in this village. This statement is, however, probably in correct, as the first number of that paper is dated at Rutland, April 1, 1793, and published by his son James. In 1794, Lyon commenced the Fairhaven Gazette, which was printed by James Lyon, and by Judah P. Spooner during a part of its existence. It was succeeded by the Farmers' Lib7-ary or Fairhaven Telegraph, the first number of which was issued July 28, 1795, by J. P. Spooner and W. Hen- nessy. This was continued under the management of these gentlemen until March, 1796, when Mr. Spooner took entire charge. The name of the paper was again changed in November, 1797, to The Farmers Library, or Ver mont and New York Intelligencer, and was continued until 1798. [In 1796, '97 and '98, The Vermont Almanac and Register, giving the dates of the grants, and the ratable property of each town in the State, was pub lished by Mr. Spooner. J On October 1, 1798, The Scourge of Aristocracy and Repository of Im portant Political Truths, was commenced by James Lyon, and continued one year, as a semi-monthly. It contained several articles from the pen of Mathew Lyon, who was at that time imprisoned in Vergennes under the " Alien and Sedition Act." In 1854 and '55, a small monthly paper called The Banner was issued by DeWitt Leonard. In January, 1861, one number of a small sheet called the Golden Sheaf was issued. In September, 1863, the first number of the Fairhaven Advertiser was issued as an advertising medium ; other numbers were issued from time to time, until 1866, when the office was purchased by William Q. Brown and it was made into a regular monthly publication, and the name changed to The Rutland County Advertiser, and continued until April, 1868. On September 5, 1868, the first number of The People 's Journal 'was issued by Jones & Grose, with Rev. P. Franklin Jones as editor. This paper was continued until July, 1869, when it was purchased by DeWitt Leonard and E. H. Phelps and the name changed to The Fairhaven Journal, with E. H. Phelps, editor. It was finally discontinued in 1877. On January 1, 1879, The Vermont Era was commenced by the Inman Brothers, who after three weeks sold out to Joseph E. Colton, and the name was changed to THE FAIRHAVEN ERA, and continued by him till September 15, 1879, when it vvas again sold, to Frank W. Redfield who still publishes it. Castleton.— The Vermont Statesman was commenced in 1824 by Ovid Miner. Whig in politics. Mr. Miner was connected with it but a few years, when he left Castleton. Under the management of different editors, retain ing essentially the same political character, the Statesman continued till 1855. RUTLAND COUNTY. 53 In 1832, The Green Mountain Eagle was established under the excite ment of " Anti- Masonry." Judge Howe was the prime mover and principal proprietor of the enterprise. Its existence terminated with the Anti-Masonic party. ABORIGINAL OCCUPANCY. Though no direct or positive knowledge exists that the county was ever the permanent home of any particular tribes of Indians, yet it is fair to presume that some time in the remote past it was. It was long a disputed territory among the various tribes of New England, New York and Canada, and used as a hunting and camping ground during seasons of the year by all. It is cer tain that a large portion of the territory now included within the limits of the county, was owned, or claimed by the Mohawk Indians of New York, and by them deeded, or given to John Henry Lydias of that Province, the present township of Rutland, having at one time been granted by him, under the name of Fairfield, on the strength of their deed, although his grant was pronounced illegal. More will be said on this subject in connection with the history of the various towns. WHEN FIRST SETTLED BY THE WHITES. Just at what time the first settlement of the county was made, we cannot state. About a century and a half ago, between Massachusetts and Canada there was a brisk trade kept up, Massachusetts being able to sell goods at Fort Dummer, cheaper than the French could sell them in Canada. Goods were transported by the traders, across what is now the State of Vermont, to Crown Point, and thence down the lake, into Canada, the line of travel being directly across the territory now included within the limits of Rutland County. Also, in King William's wars, soldiers passed from Massachusetts to the lake. From the journal of one Coss, a trader, who made the journey from Massa chusetts to Crown Point in the Spring of 1730, we learn that he was greatly impressed with the richness of the soil along Otter Creek. It is fair to pre sume that this fact may have also been observed by others, and induced them to emigrate thither. The trade between Massachusetts and Canada was finally swept away by the breaking out of the French war in 1755, and which extended its opera tions from Canada to the adjoining colonies of New England, New York and Pennsylvania, causing tracts of land to be traversed that had heretofore been a dense, unexplored wilderness, the war being finally terminated by the great battle fought on the plains of Abraham, near Quebec, September 13th, 1759, in which the British arms were victorious, and the whole Province of Canada surrendered to Great Britain. This event at once awakened atten tion to the territory of Vermont, to which the adjoining province had been transformed from a hostile to a friendly neighbor. 54 RUTLAND COUNTY. Many of the soldiers, doubtless, who had crossed Vermont on their way to the war, and had become impressed with its beauty and richness, at once set tled within its limits. Most certain it is, at least, applications for towns were now made in rapid succession to Benning Wentworth, the colonial governor of New Hampshire, who was disposed to grant them on the most liberal terms, so that the principal towns now included within the counties of Bennington, Rutland and Addison, were chartered in 1761. In most of these towns there was an interval, however, of several years between the time the patents were granted and the commencement of settlement. In ten towns of Rutland County whose charters were granted between the 26th of August and the 20th of October, 1761, settlements were commenced at the following periods: Pawlet, 1761 ; Danby, 1765; Clarendon, 1768; Rutland, Castleton and Pittsford, 1769; Tinmouth, 1770; Poultney and Wells, 1771, and Bran don in 1772. These settlements, and those of the other towns of the county, will be spoken of in connection with their respective histories. LAND TITLE CONTROVERSY. Under this head, it is our purpose to speak briefly of the trials that nerved the "brave men of the mountains" to declare and maintain their independ ence, and to emerge as a free and independent State. The aristocratic government of New York had little ken of the stern, democratic spirit, possessed by their Green Mountain neighbors, or they never would have at tempted to wrest, from them their humble homesteads. Immigration was rapid and prosperity seemed to smile upon the inhabit ants, until the dark day of April 10, 1765, when a proclamation was issued by Lieut. Gov. Colden, of New York, giving a copy of an order of the King in Council of the 20th of July, preceding, declaring the boundary line between New Hampshire and New York to be the Connecticut River, and notifying his Majesty's subjects to govern themselves accordingly. That a twenty mile line from the Hudson, extending northerly to Lake ¦ Champlain, was the eastern boundary of New York, is proven by the charter title of the Duke of York upon his accession to the throne in 1685, making New York a royal province. The disputed territory had been repeatedly and uniformly recognized by the King's government as belonging to the Province of New Hampshire, and never to that of New York. The King, in 1741, commissioned Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, describing his province as reaching westward "until it met his other governments" thus bounding it westerly by New York. Gov. Went worth, with authority from the King to grant his lands, issued charters of over one hundred townships, each of six miles square, within such territory. Among these charters, nearly all the land in the present Rutland County had been granted in sixteen different townships, viz : Brandon, (by the name of Neshobe,) Castleton, (by the name of Harwich,) Pawlet, Pittsford, RUTLAND COUNTY. 55 Poultney, Rutland, Sherburne, Shrewsbury, Sudbury, Tinmouth, Wallingford and Wells. The reasons for this change of jurisdiction were those of State policy, a preference of the Crown for the aristocratic institutions of New York, to the more democratic institutions of New England, and a desire to extend the area of the former by curtailing the latter. Upon the receipt of the King's order annexing the territory west of Con necticut River to New York, Lieutenant Governor Colden proceded at once to grant the lands to others than the New Hampshire claimants, and when the latter applied to the New York Governors for a confirmation of those not thus granted, such enormous patent fees were demanded as to make it impossible for them to comply. It was well known in New York that these lands had long been granted by New Hampshire, and were actually occupied under such grants, and the new patents were procured in utter disregard of the rights and claims of the settlers. So all attempts to survey the new patents, or to eject the present holders, were met with sturdy resistance on the part of the settlers, and thus it came about that those who opposed the authority of New York were stigmatized as "rioters," "conspirators," and "wanton disturbers of the public peace," while the " Yorkers " were in turn called " land jobbers," " land pirates," etc. The dangers of the settlers from the patents already issued, as well as from new grants, were imminent, and they resolved to apply directly to the Crown for relief. Accordingly Samuel Robinson, of Bennington, as agent for the several towns west of the Green Mountains, armed with petitions of the people, setting forth their grievances, was sent to London to present them to the King. This he did early in the year 1767, and was so successful as to obtain an order from the King in Council, of July 24, 1767, forbidding the granting of more land by New York, in the disputed territory, " until his Majesty' s further pleasure." But while Mr. Robinson was yet asking for relief from the grants which had already been made, his mission was un- . fortunately terminated by his sudden death from small pox. That this order of the King's was merely a matter of form, is proven by the fact that the New York Governors, notwithstanding "his Majesty's pleasure," continued to grant the lands within the disputed territory, making such grants up to the period of the Revolution, having granted more than a million acres in direct and palpable violation of such order. The inhabitants of the several townships, as fast as they had become sufficiently numerous, had organized themselves into municipal communities in conformity to their charters, and had adopted rules and regulations for their local government. The maintenance of the possession and title to their lands against the New York claimants, soon became an absorbing in. terest, and town committees were appointed, whose special duty it was to attend to their defense and security. Few records of the proceedings of these conventions remain, though sufficient accounts of them have been preserved 56 RUTLAND COUNTY. to show that they exercised a general supervision over the affairs of the settlers, and that their decrees in regard to their land title controversy, were received and obeyed as laws. These several committees, towards the latter part of the year 177 1, instituted a military organization, with Ethan Allen, of Bennington County, as Colonel. The duties of these men were to watch and detect in their several neighborhoods, any hostile movements of their adversaries, and to hold themselves in readiness to repair to any part of the territory to which the general convention or its executive committee should require them to go for the proper defence of the persons or lands of the settlers. These organizations eventually assumed the name of Green Mountain Boys, in derision and defiance, it is said, of a threat of Gov. Tryon, to drive the settlers from their possessions into the Green Mountains. This name, by the bravery and military exploits of those who bore it during the revolu tionary period, became an honorable appellation, and is often used to desig nate all the troops of the State, and sometimes the whole people. In carrying into execution the resolves of the General Convention, col lisions with the New York officers and claimants were not unfrequent, and they occurred occasionally through a series of years. The following extracts from a letter of a New York official, in 1771, will show something of the spirit of the times. It is taken from Hall's "Early History of Vermont" : — "Albany, September 10, 1771. "Sir: — Your favor of the 1 6th of August, and the £60. 2s. 91! of Mr. Robert Yates, I received on my return here, after being the second time stopped in Socialborough, by James Mead and Asa Johnson in behalf of the settlers in Rutland and Pittsford. I have run out lots from the south bounds to within about two miles of the Great Falls. I found it in vain to persist any longer, as they were resolved at all events to stop us. There have been many threats pronounced against me.

Several of my men can prove Townsend and Train threatened my life, that I should never return home, " The people of Durham [now Clarendon] assured me, these men intended to murder us if we did not go from thence, and advised me by all means to desist surveying. ****** 1 found I would not be allowed to go northward, as they suspected I would begin again, and therefore intended to convey us to Danby and so on to the southward, and by all accounts we should not have been very kindly treated.

RUTLAND COUNTY. 57 " Marsh's survey is likewise undone, as I did not care to venture myself that way. I shall be able to inform you more particularly at our meeting, and am " Sir, your most obedient servant, Will Cockburn. "James Duane, New York." Thus the people struggled on until the breaking out of the Revolution against the mother country, when the minor trouble of the land controversy was swallowed up in the greater. When this became cleared, it found Vermont an independent common wealth; an independent State that had struggled into existence through a double revolution. The land controversy was finally given up by the young State's haughty neighbor, upon the payment of $30,000, and they have since lived together on the most amicable terms. THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. The active part the people of the "grants" took in this war, and the hearty zeal with which they entered into the contest for American liberty, was owing not only to their love of liberty, but more to their general hostility and deep distrust of a monarch who permitted his greedy servants, in his name, to grant his lands twice over, and persecute his first grantees as felons and outlaws. At the opening of this war, although the people were nominally under the . jurisdiction of New York, they never recognized her authority, and were sub stantially independent, obeying only the decrees of committees and conven tions, and of their own town meetings. The approaching struggle with the mother country had for some time been foreseen, and the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts, on the 15th of Feb ruary, 1775, to guard against an apprehended attempt of the emissaries of the British ministry to engage the Canadians and Indians in hostilities against the colonies, directed the committee of the town of Boston to open a cor respondence with the Province of Canada in such manner as they should think proper. That committee appointed John Brown, Esq., a young lawyer of Pittsfield, to repair to Canada, to obtain information of the state of the Province and to endeavor to counteract any unfriendly efforts of their enemies. Mr. Brown had a consultation with the " grand committee " at Bennington, who furnished him with a guide for the undertaking, one Peleg Sunderland. In a letter written by Mr. Brown to Samuel Adams and Joseph Warren of the Boston Committee, dated March 29, 1775, he speaks of the fortress of Ticohderoga as follows : " One thing I must mention to be kept a profound secret. The fort at Ticonderoga must be seized as soon as possible should hostilities be committed by the King's troops. The people of the New Hampshire Grants have engaged to do the business, and in my opinion are the most proper persons for this job. This will effectually curb this province [Canada] and all the troops that may be sent here." When, therefore, a few days after the battle of Lexington, messengers arrived at Bennington from Connecticut, accompanied by Brown, for the purpose of collecting a force to 58 RUTLAND COUNTY. attack that fortress, they found the people of the " grants " with their minds already prepared for the undertaking, and under the leadership of Col. Ethan Allen, already on their way toward the lake. The details of the early surprise by Allen, who with drawn sword made the demand to surrender the fort, " In the name of the Great Jehovah and of the Continental Congress," and how, overawed, Delaplace gave up the garrison without a struggle, on the 10th of May, 1775, and the subsequent importance of this bloodless conquest of the Green Mountain Boys to the revolutionary cause, are matters of general history, and not necessary to relate here. On Wednesday, the 24th of July, 1776, the first meeting of the committee was held, which eventually declared Vermont, or New Hampshire Grants, a free State. It was held at the house of Cephas Kent, in Dorset. Bennington County, with Capt. Joseph Bowker of Rutland, as chairman. On the 2d day of July, 1777, this committee met for the declared purpose of forming a constitution of government, but other objects were found to re quire its serious attention. Col. Warner wrote from Rutland, on the 2d of July, " To the honorable, the convention now sitting at Windsor, in the State of Vermont," that an army of ten thousand veterans, one-half of them Ger man hirelings, equipped and furnished with every warlike material that wealth .and skill could supply, had been collected in the province of Canada and attended by a formidable body of savages and a corps of tories, was approach ing the post of Ticonderoga. Gen. St. Clair, who commanded at Ticonde- roga, had sent Col. Warner to gather reinforcements from the militia, and he had just received an express that an attack was expected every hour. The letter requested the convention •' to send on all the men that could possibly be raised," saying that the safety of the post depended on the exertions of the country. By the 5th of July, Col. Warner had reached Ticonderoga with nine hun dred militia, but the fort, even after this re-enforcement, was altogether un tenable against the strong and well appointed army of Burgoyne. On the evening of that day a council of war unanimously decided that it should be abandoned before daylight the next morning, which was accordingly done. All the cannon and most of the provisions and military stores fell into the hands of the enemy, and the army retreated rapidly toward Castleton. On this retreat occurred the first and only battle fought in Vermont during the Revolution. THE BATTLE OF HUBBARDTON. About two o'clock in the morning of the 6th of July, Gen. St. Clair, with the garrison, left Ticonderoga and proceeded toward Hubbardton and Castle ton. The affairs were conducted with secrecy and silence, and unobserved by the enemy, till a French officer, imprudently and contrary to orders, set fire to his house. The flames immediately revealed to the enemy the movements and designs of the Americans, and at the same time impressed the Americans RUTLAND COUNTY. 59 ivith such an idea of discovery and danger, as to throw them into the utmost disorder and confusion. About four o'clock the rear guard of the American army left Mount Inde pendence, and were brought off by Col. Francis in good order; and the regi ments which had preceded him were soon recovered from their confusion. When the troops had arrived at Hubbardton, they were halted for nearly two hours. Here the rear guard was put under the command of Col. Seth War ner, with orders to follow the army as soon as those who had been left behind came up, and to halt about a mile and a half in the rear of the main body. St. Clair then proceeded to Castleton, about six miles further, leaving War ner, with the rear guard and stragglers, at Hubbardton. The retreat of the Americans from Ticonderoga was no sooner perceived by the British than an eager pursuit was begun under Gen. Fraser and Gen. Reidesel. Fraser continued the pursuit during the day, and having learned that the rear of the American army was not far off, ordered his men to lie that night upon their arms. Early on the morning of the 7th, he renewed the pursuit, and about 7 o'clock, commenced an attack upon the Americans un der Warner. Warner's force consisted of his own regiment and the regiments of Cols. Francis and Hale. Hale, fearful of the result, retired with his regiment, leaving Warner and Francis, with only seven or eight hundred men, to dispute the progress of the enemy. The belligerents drew up their forces in line of battle, but did not come to a general, engagement, (as each awaited the arrival of reinforcements,) until Warner made a fierce onslaught, throwing the enemy into deep confusion, who, rallying again, advanced upon the Americans, but were brought to a stand. The action had now become general, and Francis was killed at the head of his regiment, which was then driven to the woods at the point of the bayonet. At this critical juncture Reidesel's reinforcements arrived. The Americans, supposing the whole German force was at hand, were seized with a panic, and gave way ; when Warner's regiment, which had fought with in vincible courage, began to break. The sturdy and intrepid Colonel, throw ing himself down on a log, poured forth a torrent of curses and execrations on the flying troops ; but when perceiving the day was lost, he sprang to his feet, and in the coolest possible manner, ordered the troops to assemble at Manchester, which those who heard him obeyed to the number of about 200; the others joining the remains of Francis' regiment, repaired to the main army at Fort Edward. 4 The English loss in this battle, as stated by their official returns, in killed and wounded was 183, including among the former 20 officers. The Ameri can loss is estimated at about 324 killed, wounded and prisoners. This battle was undoubtedly lost by the indiscretion of St. Clair, who hav ing left his rear guard at such a distance from his advance, that support was impossible. It was also very disastrous, not only on account of the loss of 60 RUTLAND COUNTY. men, but in their retreat from Ticonderoga they left in the hands of the Eng lish their cannon, amounting to 128 pieces, their shipping and batteaux, and their provisions, stores and magazines. By this event Burgoyne obtained no less than 1,748 barrels of flour, and more than 70 tons of salt provisions; and, in addition to these, a large drove of cattle, which had arrived in the Ameri can camp a few days previous to their retreat. For 82 years the spot where this battle was fought, — and fought bravely though suffering defeat, — had lain unmarked, neglected and almost forgotten, until, on the 7th of July, 1859, an appropriate monument of marble was erected near the spot where Francis was killed. It is a plain marble shaft, bearing, on one side, the following inscription : — " By the citizens of Hubbardton and vicinity, To the memory of those men who here laid down their lives in the defence of their country's rights and lib erties." The battle-field is situated in one of those beautiful and picturesque spots so often met with among the hills and valleys of Vermont, and it is difficult for one to gaze on the pure, white shaft, and realize that it marks the scene of a bloody conflict, or that it was from this spot that the brave spirit of Francis winged its flight to that happier land where it shall engage in war no more. WAR OF 1812. In 181 2, after thirty years of peace and prosperity, the people were again called upon to confront England. The part Rutland County took in the pro ceedings did her citizens no discredit. Some of the old heroes are still resid ing within its limits. The preparation for the battle of Plattsburg, N. Y., etc., and, indeed, all the events of the war, are matters of general history and too well known to require mention here; From the close of this war, in 1815, a period of about thirty years' peace was again enjoyed by the people, when the war with Mexico aroused them from their quiet avocations. THE MEXICAN WAR. The necessity of this war was not generally concurred in by the citizens, and consequently did not arouse any great degree of sympathy or enthusiasm. Soon after the first battle was fought, — Palo Alto, on May 8, 1846, in which the Americans were so victorious, — the martial spirit of the Green Mountain boys was revived, and the recruiting of a regiment was commenced in the State. Of the recruits from Rutland County we have only a straggling record. Most certain it is, however, that the town of Danby contributed sixteen of her noble sons, most of whom sustained well the reputation of their town and county. Of the following list, none, we believe, are now residents of the town -.—Damon Ballard, Elisha Bradley, Hiram Harrington, Samuel Hall, Daniel Hilliard, Chauncey Maxham, Jamon Preston, Caleb Roberts, Oliver Sheldon, C. Smith, Wesson Soule, Henry Tufts, Stephen Woods, Willard RUTLAND COUNTY. Woods, L. Smith, and Hiram Wait. Pawlet, too, contributed two of her sons, James Preston and Return Strong, and Rutland one, at least, in the person of Lieut. Hopkins, who, on the 29th of April, 1847, was publicly presented with a sword, by his friends, previous to his departure. Soon after the battle of Mexico, preliminaries of peace were signed at Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Feb ruary 2, 1848, annexing a large amount of rich territory to the Union, which is now developed into popular states and prosperous cities, which Rutland County can look upon and say, — " I did my share in acquiring this ! " THE WAR OF THE UNION. Peace again brooded over the land for a period of about thirteen years smiling upon a prosperous, happy people ; but was rudely frightened away on the morning of April 12th, 1861, when the report of the shot upon Sumter was sent reverberating through the land, echoing from summit to summit of the Green Mountains, and rolling through their verdant valleys, awaking her sons from their dreams of peace, filling their souls with but one thought, — the flag that had been bought with the blood of their fathers had been outraged — and impelling them, as with one impulse, to rush to its rescue. Side by side with her sister states, Vermont endured the weary marches and bore the brunt of battles, and side by side their sons sleep the "long sleep," some 'neath the burning sands of the willful South, others sepulchered in the coral caves of the sobbing sea, a tomb to which the grandest, most imposing sepulchre that man can build were but a sorry hut. Others have been borne to the grave amid their kindred by sympathizing friends, who, year by year in solemn procession, to muffled drum-beat, wend their way to the consecrated places to deck the graves with beautiful spring flowers, — a national tribute to the memory of the gallant dead, 5,128 of whom Vermont sacrificed as her share towards preserving our nation's unity, freed from the curse of slavery, so long a foul blot upon her fair fame. And though thousands of parents, wives, brothers and sisters still mourn the loss of those they loved, they still have to comfort them, a prominent share in the glory of their native State, even though purchased at so fearful a price. Ver mont promptly filled every quota, and every dollar needed was furnished with alacrity. Of her treasure $9,087,352.40 were expended in furnishing the 34,238 loyal sons and representatives who went out to fight the battles of their country, 5,022 of whom were discharged from the service with shattered constitutions, or maimed in body, to renew the peaceful avocations of life as circumstances would permit, and it is but lately that these stricken defenders have, by increase of bounties and pensions, received proper acknowledgement by a grateful nation, for their heroic deeds and sacrifices.

Total Loss and Casualties to State Troops. — The total number of men from this State, wounded during the war, was 4,360. Of the 5,128 Men Lost by Death, 64 commissioned officers and 1,007 enlisted men were killed in action. Thirty-seven commissioned officers and 664 enlisted men died from wounds received in action. Twenty-nine commissioned officers and 2,616 enlisted men died from disease. "Four were shot by Sent, G. C. M." [Supposed to mean by sentence of general court martial.] Three commissioned officers and 626 enlisted men died while prisoners, and three commissioned officers and 75 enlisted men died from accident. 74 RUTLAND COUNTY. Of the 5,022 Men Discharged, 317 commissioned officers resigned, 61 commissioned officers and 3,865 enlisted men were discharged for disability, 44 commissioned officers and 5 96 enlisted men, for wounds received in action. Eleven enlisted men were paroled prisoners. Twenty-eight commissioned officers and 100 enlisted men were dishonorably discharged. Among the whole number of troops, it is to be expected that some were not true, and the records show that 2,219 men (mostly if not all of whom were substitutes,) deserted. The number of Engagements in which the several Regiments, Batteries and Detached Troops, (officered in part by Rutland County men,) bore honorable part during the War, are as follows : — First Regiment, Infantry 1 Second Regiment, Infantry 28 Third Regiment, Infantry 28 Fourth Regiment, Infantry 26 Fifth Regiment, Infantry. 25 Sixth Regiment, Infantry 25 Seventh Regiment, Infantry ^ 5 Eighth Regiment, Infantry 7 Ninth Regiment, Infantry 4 Tenth Regiment, Infantry 13 Eleventh Regiment (First Regiment Heavy Artillery) 12 Thirteenth Regiment, Infantry 1 Fourteenth Regiment, Infantry 1 Sixteenth Regiment, Infantry 1 Seventeenth Regiment, Infantry 13 First Regiment, U. S. Sharpshooters 37 Second Regiment, U. S. Sharpshooters 24 First Battery, Light Artillery 4 First Regiment, Cavalry 73 IN CONCLUSION. It may be well to state that the War Department accredited to this State thirty-five thousand two hundred and forty-two men ; being one thousand and four more than are shown by the State records, and gives the State credit over the aggregate quotas under all calls, of fifteen hundred and thirteen men. " This discrepancy may be and probably is to be accounted for," says Adju tant General P. T. Washburn, " by enlistments in organizations of other States, to the credit of 'this State, which appear upon muster-rolls of those organizations and were not reported to the State." GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. IpSfENSON is located in the extreme north-west corner of the county, in ^S lat. 430 42' and long. 3° 46' east from Washington, and is bounded, # north by Addison County, east by Hubbardton and a small part of Sud bury and Castleton, south by Fairhaven and Westhaven, and west by Lake Champlain, and contains an area of about 28,340 acres, or 42^ square miles. Benson derivetl its name in honor of Hon. Egbert Benson, of the State 01 New York. The township was chartered October 27, 1779, (the charter was not signed until May 5, 1780,) by "the Governor, Council and General As sembly of the Representatives of the Freemen of Vermont," to seventy-five individual proprietors in eighty shares ; five being for public uses, as follows : " One share for the use of a Seminary or College within the State, one share for the first settled minister of the gospel, one share for the County Grammar Schools throughout the State, one share for the use of schools in the town, and one share for the glebe for the Church of England." The surface is very broken and uneven in the northern, south-eastern and south-western part, making about one-third of the territory rocky and moun tainous. Through the center of the town, from north to south, extends a range of slate, from a mile to a mile and a half in width, covered with a good soil, furnishing a fair share of upland for tillage. Otherwise, except in the north-western part and in the mountain valleys, the soil is mostly clay. The climate is delightful, the water very pure and the scenery picturesque, al though Benson is not as good a farming district as the lake towns in Addison County. The country is well watered by numerous lakes, streams, ponds and springs, of which Sunset Lake, a beautiful little sheet of water situated in the northern part of the town, is the largest, being nearly circular and about one mile in diameter. Glen Lake lies in the south-eastern part of the town, extending south into Fairhaven and Castleton. Little Pond is in the northern part of the town, and several others, mostly small ones, are located in various parts of the township. Hubbardton River, with its tributaries, forms the principal stream: It rises in the north-western part of Hubbardton, and flows in a south-westerly course through Benson into Westhaven on the south. 76 TOWN OF BENSON. There is still considerable timber in the town, beech, maple, pine and hem lock, interspersed with oak, ash and walnut, being most abundant. In 1880 Benson had a population of 1,104, was divided into eleven school districts and had eleven common schools, employing six male and sixteen fe male teachers, at an aggregate salary of $1,725.11. There were 271 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 30th, was $2,017.37, under the superintendency of Royal D. King. Benson, a post village, is beautifully located in the central part of the town, and contains three stores, two blacksmith shops, one hotel, two churches, (Methodist Episcopal and Congregational,) one shoe shop, one marble shop, and has a population of about 250. Benson Landing (p. o.) is a small hamlet located in the western part of the town, on Lake Champlain. It contains one store, one store-house, and about eight dwellings. Ira E. Morse's saw mill, located on the north branch of Hubbardton River, near Sunset Lake, was built in 1875. It manufactures about 200,000 feet of lumber and 250,000 shingles annually. Francis W. Johnson's shingle factory and cider mill, located on Hubbard ton River, at Tumble Falls, near road 10, was erected in 1880, and has a fine water-power of twenty feet fall. Mr. Johnson manufactures 500 to 600 bar rels of cider per year. N O' Donald's grist and saw mill, located on Hubbardton River, about two miles from Benson village, is the only grist mill in the town, manufac tures in connection with flour, etc., 500,000 feet of lumber, 400,000 shingles, and 1,000 barrels of cider each year. The Walker Cheese Manufacturing Company was organized in 1873. Its present list of officers is as follows :— J. S. Griswold, President ; R. D. King, Vice President; William Bascomb, Secretary; L. H. Kellogg, Treasurer. Directors :— Philo Wilcox, J. S. Griswold and B. A. Carter. This company manufactures 100,000 lbs. of cheese, from the milk of 500 cows, each year. Benson Butter and Cheese Factory, located upon the farm of O. H. and R. E. Brown, was organized by a stock company in 1874. Its present officers are :— J. D. Hunt, President ; E. Norton, Vice President ; H. S. Howard, Secretary; R. P. Walker, Treasurer. Directors— R. E. Brown, A. J. Gibbs and E. S. Howard. This company uses the milk from 400 cows. A grist-mill at Bangall, (local name for a settlement on the Hubbardton River on road 10,) was built and operated by William Cutler and Ethan Allen prior to the year 18 10. The first person who settled in the town of Benson was Walter Durfee, who made some improvements on his farm previous to the Revolution, but was driven off his claim by the invasion of Burgoyne in 1777. In 1782 he re turned to the town and made a permanent settlement. Mr. Durfee resided here until the year 1835, when he removed to West Chazy, N. Y, where he TOWN OF BENSON. 77 died in the summer of 1 843, aged over 90 years. Traces of his first cabin are still extant. The same year with Mr. Durfee, Daniel Barber of Pittsfield, Mass., came to the town in search of a mill-site. He followed Otter Creek from Pittsford to Vergennes, but found too much water in that stream for mill purposes, so concluded to build on the Hubbardton River, about two miles from Benson, near where N. O'Donald's mills now stand. The following year, 1783, Mr. Barber returned to Benson with his wife, and in 1784 began the first dam on Hubbardton River, on the site aforesaid. Here he built a saw-mill and the following year a grist-mill, the first mills built in the town. During this time Jonathan Meacham, James Noble and several others, with their families, had settled in the town. Previous to the building of these mills the settlers were obliged to carry their grain through the wilderness to Poultney to get it ground. Ruth, wife of Daniel Barber, was the first woman settler of the town. In August, 1785, her eldest son, Roswell, was born, who resided in town all his life, dying in 1849. Roswell left two sons, D. R. Barber, of Minneapolis, Minn., and E. L. Barber, who still resides on the old homestead, which has never been owned out of the Barber family since first purchased by his grandfather. Daniel Barber had a large family of sons and daughters, most of whom, with their families, have "followed the setting sun." Mr. Durfee, the first settler, has now no descendants in the town. The first seven years after the first settlement, immigration was so rapid that in 1792 the population was 694, while in 1800 it was 1 164, about the same as now. The first child born in the town was Thomas, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hale, born August 22, 1784. The first marriage was that of Levi Barber and Rebecca Hinman. He was born in Worcester, Mass., April 6, 1763, and died in Westhaven, January 13, 1856, aged 93 years. She was born in Woodbury, Ct, February 15, 1768, and died in Westhaven, March 4, 1857, aged 89 years. Both were buried in Benson. The date of their marriage is not known. The first death that occurred is not now known, though the first re corded in the town record of deaths was that of James, an infant son of Benoni and Lucy Gleason, who was born April 5, 1789, and died on the following day. The village burying-ground was surveyed and laid out October 5, 1790; but previous to that time there had been burials in the south-east part of the farm of E. S. Howard, and also in the north-west corner of the school lot. There never were any monuments placed to mark these burials, and no traces of the graves now remain. Captain William Barber is supposed to have been the first adult who died in the town, his death occurring August 11, 1789. On road 44, fronting road 41, is a small, white, stone monument, bearing the following inscription, which tells its own story : — 78 TOWN OF BENSON. "MEMENTO MORI. " Daniel W.

Daniel Howard, an early settler, came to Benson from Hartford, Conn., with his father and two brothers, James and Samuel, settling upon the farm now owned by J. D. Hunt, on road 26. Daniel was born August 10, 1769, and died in 1848. His son J. J. still occupies the old homestead, at the age of 73 years. Amos Root came from Pittsfield, Mass., in 1787, making his difficult way through the forest with an ox team, his wife riding horse-back and carrying their child, Sheldon, then about one year old.

Fay, but afterwards removed to the farm now owned by Frank Halsted on road 31, where he built the first frame house in that portion of the town, in the year 1794, and which is still standing. Amos had three sons and two daughters. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war and died in the great epidemic of 1813, his son Stephen dying at the same time. His son John lived upon the farm till 1849, wnen he moved about £ mile west on road 31, and there died in 1846, aged 49 years. His wife, Laura, resides with her daughter, Eliza Jackson, in Minnesota. His son Stephen now re sides on road 5 1. Sheldon Root married Sally Gleason and settled upon the farm now owned by George Root. He died October 31, 1862, aged 76 years.

Stephen Crofoot came to Benson from Pittsfield, Mass., in 1778, and set- TOWN OF BENSON. tied upon the farm now owned by Edwin A. Walker, on road 47. Mr. Cro foot had three sons and two daughters, and died in March 181 2. His wife followed him in 1815. William Crofoot, his son, lived upon the farm until his death, which occurred in June, 1829. Rhoda J., wife of William, died in June, 1844. Daniel Crofoot, son of William, now resides on road 35, at the age of 77. He has been justice of the peace forty-seven years, represented the town in the State Legislature from 1864 to '66, and was also associate judge of the County Court in 1868 and '69. Amos King, from Cheshire, Mass., came to Benson in 1797, accompanied by his wife Eunice, and one son and a daughter, Dexter and Ruth, aged respectively twelve and ten years. The farm upon which he settled is still in the possession of the family, being owned by his grandson, M. F. King. Amos lived an active, busy life, dying in the year 1822. His wife, Eunice, lived to the age of 86 years. Dexter King, upon arriving at man's estate, married Sally Frisbie, of Poultney, by whom he had six children, as follows : M. F., Eunice P., Noble C, Joseph D., Sarah R. and J. W.; all of whom are now living. M. F., who retains the homestead, is a very busy, active man, possessing the regard of all who know him. He was the town representative during the years 1862-63. Philo Wilcox, father of Philo E. Wilcox, was born at Goshen, Conn., January 22, 1873. He immigrated to Benson in 1788, where he resided until his death, which occurred August 26, 1865, aged 82 years and seven months. John Quincey Dickinson, son of Cornelia (Coleman) Dickinson, was born in Benson, November 19, 1837, and was a paternal grandson of Capt. Joel Dickinson. He was a graduate of Middlebury College. In 1862 he enlisted as 2d Lieut, of Co. C, 7th Regiment, serving all through the war, resigning as Capt. of Co. F, October 10, 1865. He afterwards removed to Florida, where he became Assistant Secretary of the Senate of that State. He was assassin ated on the 3d of April, 1871, the assassination being for political motives. His body was interred in Benson, on Wednesday, April 19, 187 1, in the pres ence of the largest funeral procession ever gathered in the town. The record of the first two town meetings, although stating that the meet ings "were held in Benson," does not state in either case at what place in the town the meeting was held ; and no notification or warning for any town meeting held in the town, previous to November, 1798, is recorded in the town records. At a town meeting held September 18, 1786, it was voted "to raise six pounds" and "to raise it by the pole," [poll] and " that there be six days' work per man done on the roads, with what has been done this year ; " and also " voted to petition to the General Assembly a tax on all lands of one pen ny per acre." At 'the October session of the General Assembly, in 1786, an Act was passed empowering the selectmen to levy a tax of one penny on each acre of land in the town, for the purpose of making and repairing public —6 82 TOWN OF BENSON. roads and bridges in the town. At the same session were passed resolutions providing for taking the sense of the freemen of the State on a proposed project for "emitting a small bank of paper money on loan or otherwise.1' In reference to these resolutions it was voted at a town meeting held in Ben son November 23, 1786, "to say nothing about paper money." At a town meeting held June 13, 1786, Capt. Asahel Smith was chosen the delegate from the town to the State Constitutional Convention, held at Man chester on the last Thursday of June, 1786, called by the Council of Censors to consider certain proposed amendments to the Constitution. The town was first represented in the General Assembly in 1788 — Asahel Smith representative ; and it has been represented in that body at every ses sion since that year, up to the present time; though in 181 2 the election of the sitting member was successfully contested, and he was unseated. Among the early merchants we find the following who were doing business in the year 1795 : — Jonas Abbott advertises, June 12, that he "has again refurnished his cheap store with a fresh stock of European and India goods." Timothy Watson was doing a boot and shoe business. Stephen Olmsted and Tilly Gilbert were engaged in trade as general mer chants, the partnership being dissolved on April 7th of this year, and the busi ness continued by Olmsted. At the annual town meeting held March 19, 1787, at the house of Stephen Olmsted, it was "voted to fix the house lately occupied by Solomon Chit tenden and now the property of Asa Farnham, so it shall be convenient to meet in on the Sabbath," and also " voted to hire Mr. Ralph [minister] the space of one month, to pay in wheat after harvest, at a market price ; " and it was also " voted that the committee appointed to hire Mr. Ralph are to hire him one-half of the time for two months, if he will be hired for or under four dollars per Sabbath, to be paid in grain after harvest." At a town meeting held December 29, 1788, it was "voted to hire a Minis ter one-half the time next summer, with Fairhaven." Mr. Levi Hackley was employed as a preacher in 1789-90. At a town meeting held on the 2 2d of March, 1790, it was "voted to have Mr. Levi Hackley settle with us for our Minister," and " that the town will raise thirty-five pounds in necessary articles for building, to be paid to Mr. Levi Hackley for a settlement, exclu sive of the right of land which naturally belongs to him as soon as he becomes our Minister," and "to give Mr. Hackley seventy pounds salary for a year, to begin with forty pounds the first year, and to rise with the list of the town, until it amounts to seventy pounds, and there stand ; " but the vote to settle Mr. Hackley was reconsidered at an adjourned town meeting, March 30, 1780. The Rev. Dan. Kent became the first settled minister in Benson, he having a " call to settle with us in the work of the ministry " on the 4th of June, 1792. This pastoral relation continued until the nth of July, 1828, when he was dismissed. TOWN OF BENSON. 83 In the winter of 1795-6, the canker rash, or ulcerous sore throat, (scarlet fever,) was very prevalent and malignant in the township and vicinity. During the winter of 181 2-13, there were cases of the spotted fever in town ; and, in the latter part of February, 1813, these were followed by the typhoid pneumonia, or lung fever, which became a prevailing and frightful epidemic. Its principal ravages were in the months of March and April, and there were no new cases after the middle of May following. There were about sixty deaths from this disease in less than three months. Aside from these, the town has never been visited by epidemic diseases. Benson Congregational Church, located at Benson village, was organized in March, 1790, by Mathias Cazier, of Castleton, and his delegate, Mr. Sturtevant, with Joseph Clark as Moderator of the Church and Allen Good rich, Clerk. Deacon Jonathan Woodward, grandfather of ex- Vice-Presi dent Wheeler, was the first deacon, and Rev. Dan Kent, son of Dea. Cephas Kent of Dorset, the first pastor and also the first settled minister in Benson. He was born in Suffield, Conn., April 10, 1758, commenced his pastorate in Benson in 1792, and continued as pastor of this Church thirty-six years. He died in 'Benson, July 22, 1835. During Mr. Kent's ministry the Church grew rapidly. He was a man of fervent piety and great zeal. At several periods during his pastorate there was unusual interest and the Church received large additions to its numbers. The first church edifice, a one story frame building, 24 by 40 feet, was erected in 1790, built by Major Ozia Johnson, and stood upou the site now occupied by Willard Strong's residence, but was afterwards removed to the ground now occupied by the Methodist church. The second house of worship was raised in 1797, and completed in 1803. This building was fol lowed by the present church edifice, in 1841, which is a fine, comfortable building, capable of seating 450 persons, and cost about $6,500, while the whole church property is valued at $12,000. What the membership of the society was at its organization is not kown, but was probably small. It now has a membership of 150, with Rev. Geo. G. Lyon, pastor. The First Baptist Church of Benson was organized by Elder Abel Wood, Samuel Tower and John Carter, in March, 1797. At its organization it had 14 members, with Rev. William Patterson as pastor. In 1826 the first building was erected, built of stone; this was followed by a second in 1841, but has since that time been used for other purposes, the society having disbanded, part uniting with Sudbury and others with Westhaven. The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Benson village, was organized about the year 1839, by Rev. P. P. Harrower, who was the first pastor. The present church edifice, a comfortable building capable of seating about 250 persons was built in 1841, and remodeled again in 1876. The original cost of the building was about $2,000, while the present value of the property is about $7,500. L. A. Dibble is pastor of the society, which has a member ship of 125. 84 TOWN OF BRANDON. JfcJ i§|RANDON lies in the northern part, forming one of the border towns W between this county and Addison, in lat. 430 48' and long. 30 50' east *$ from Washington, and is bounded north by Leicester in Addison County, east by Goshen and a part of Chittenden, south by Pittsford, and west by Sudbury. It was chartered under the name of Neshobe, October 20, 1761, by Benning Wentworth, and contains 22,756 acres. It retained the name of Neshobe for twenty-three years, when on the 20th of October, 1784, the Act of Legislature confirming the organization of the town, gave it its present name of Brandon. This name is supposed to be a corruption of " Burnt-town," which was derived from the fact of the town having at one time (1777,) been visited by Indians, who massacred some of the inhabitants and burned their dwellings. The surface, except in the eastern part, is not mountainous ; but here the Green Mountains extend along the whole eastern border and contain some quite high elevations. The rocks of the western and central portion of the township are of the eolian limestone formation and contain some good marble quarries, although they are at present not worked to any great extent. The eastern part is composed mostly of quartz, except a small belt of pliocene ter tiary deposit. This belt contains many valuable minerals, consisting of iron, manganese, kaolin, paint pigments, and some silver. Iron ore was first dis covered in Brandon in 1810, and soon after a forge was built and bar-iron of a superior quality was manufactured for several years. In 1820 a furnace was built by John Conant, Esq., for reducing the ore, an undertaking which at that time was deemed one of great hazard ; but he persevered with character istic energy and judgment, and with complete success, and it is to this fur nace, long well known as "Conant's Furnace," that Brandon is indebted for an impetus then given to its business interests and for its continuous growth and prosperity. Iron is not manufactured to as great an extent as formerly. Paint and kaolin are still manufactured to a considerable extent. Not enough silver to amount to anything has ever been found ; but there are traditions of a very rich mine hid somewhere in the mountains, that was once worked with great success by the Spaniards. A singular freak in the geological formation of the town is the " frozen well," wherein ice may be found during the entire season. It is located a little southwest of Brandon village, on road 371-, and was dug in November, 1858. After sinking about twenty feet through the soil, the workmen came to frozen earth, consisting of coarse gravel, rounded pebbles and lumps of clear ice, from the size of an egg to that of a 12 lb. cannon ball; this frozen stratum is about 15 feet thick. The well is 34^ feet deep and has about 2$ feet of water in it ; its diameter is about three feet, and it is properly stoned up with rounded boulders of limestone. This well has always been a matter of considerable curiosity to scientists. The country is watered by numerous streams, some of which afford excel lent mill-sites, -the principal one being Otter Creek, which enters the southern part of the township, flows a north-westerly course into Hubbardton, and TOWN OF BRANDON. 85 through the extreme north-western corner of the town into Addison County. Mill River rises in the north-east part of the town, flows a south-westerly course and is discharged into Otter Creek near the southern boundary of the township. The numerous other streams serve to irrigate the soil and afford some mill-privileges, but are of no considerable size. In the northern part are two small ponds, called respectively Burnett's and Spring Pond. The Central Vermont Railroad enters the township about the centre of its southern boundary, extends through the town in a north-westerly direction, entering Addison County on the north. Brandon contains much good farming land and has many excellent farms. The soil is various, but generally a light loam, easily tilled and very produc tive. The alluvial flats, or intervale, along Otter Creek, are extensive and beautiful and are not surpassed in fertility by any in the county. The town ship produces every variety of timber common to the country ; pine, oak, cherry, sugar and red maple, ash and cedar, are found in abundance, making lumber manufacture quite an industry. In 1880 Brandon had a population of 3,280, was divided into thirteen school districts and had twenty common schools, employing three male and eighteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $5,014.00. There were 693 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 30th, was $5,638.92. The schools were under the superintendence of Mr. J. S. Cilley. Brandon, a post village and station on the Central Vermont R. R., is very pleasantly located near the central part of the township. It enjoys a good water-privilege and other facilities for making it a smart inland town ; but owing to the loss of manufactories and lack of industries, the material inter ests of the town have been seriously affected during the past few years. Its prospects are not near so flourishing as they were several years since. It contains at present five churches, two banks, two hotels, thirteen stores, one grist and flour mill, three meat markets, two marble-shops, four harness-shops, two liveries, one shoe-counter and stay manufactory, one foundry, five black smith shops, one graded school, one cooper-shop, three cabinet-makers, ten dress-makers, three milliner shops, two carriage-shops, three paint-shops, one brass band, two hose companies, two printing offices, one dye-house, one brick yard, one laundry, five lawyers, six physicians, etc., and about 300 dwellings. Forestdale (p. o.) is a pleasant little village of about 500 inhabitants, lo cated in the north-eastern part of the township, the principal business interest being Newton & Thompson's wood-turning works. There are two churches, three stores, three blacksmith shops, two livery stables, one wheelwright shop, etc. The above two are the only villages in the township, the other portions be ing entirely rural districts. Newton & Thompson's wood-turning works, located at Forestdale, were es tablished in 1856, and now employ 100 men. In 1877 the wprks were twice 86 TOWN OF BRANDON. destroyed by fire, and during the same season damaged to the extent of sev eral thousand dollars, by flood. • The Sprague Counter and Stay Company, located at Brandon village, was organized in July of 1879. The business has since been steadily increasing, and the firm expects soon to be employing about two hundred hands in the manufacture of shoe counters and corset stays. The First National Bank of Brandon was organized in 1864, and com menced operations on the first day of May following, with a capital of $50,- 000. It now has a $100,000.00 surplus fund, after having paid, up to date, (April 15, '81,) $245,000 in dividends. Nathan T. Sprague is president of the institution, and H. C. Copeland, cashier. The Brandon National Bank has been in successful business operation many years, having a capital of $200,000.00. Erastus D. Thayer is president; Cyrus Jennings, vice-president, and Frank E. Briggs, cashier. The Brandon Statuary Marble Co., of Brandon village, was organized in 1865. The quarry had been worked previous to this by E. D. Selden and others ; it is now owned by C. W. Bishop, and when in operation employs about 100 men, with Dudley C. Brown as superintendent. The Brandon Mining Co.'s Works, located on road 27, corner 28, was es tablished for the manufacture of mineral paint and kaolin, in 1855. The mineral was discovered by Fuller & Green, who commenced the manufacture of wrought iron here many years ago, and by washing the ore, the ocher, or paint pigment, was discovered. It is taken from the mine in its crude state, mixed with refuse matter, and after being broken up and thoroughly washed, it is with water carried down a sluice, the worthless material in the form of pebbles, iron ore, sand, etc., settles to the bottom, and the substance valuable for paint is held in solution, and carried by spouts and deposited in large vats. Here it is suffered to remain, and the paint settles to the bottom. The water is then drawn off and the process is repeated until a sufficient deposit has ac cumulated in the vats to undertake the drying process. This is accomplished by first allowing the sediment in the vats to become, by the action of the sun's rays, of the consistency of thick mud or clay, when it is cut or shoveled into pieces about the size of bricks, and laid upon shelves to dry in buildings pre pared for the purpose. When perfectly dry it is run through a crushing mill, and packed in barrels for the market. This paint is very similar to the cele brated French ocher, and has met with a large demand from various sections of the country. By placing the lumps of yellow ocher in ovens and calcin ing them, red ocher is made, of a quality closely resembling Venetian red. Kaolin, or paper clay, as it is sometimes called, in process of manufacture, is similar to that of ocher, except that it does not undergo the grinding pro cess, but is fit for market as soon as it is dry. The kaolin manufactured here is principally used in the manufacture of paper, for "stuffing," giving a smooth surface and additional weight to paper; it is mixed with the pulp, and but a small per cent, is lost by the subsequent process of manufacture. This com- TOWN OF BRANDON. 87 pany employs about 30 men, and manufactures about 1,000 tons of paint and 500 tons of kaolin per annum. The works are owned by Messrs. James Havemyer, H. R. Conklin and Samuel J. French, of New York City. The Brandon Kaolin and Paint Co 7s Works, located on road 27, about two miles east of Brandon village and one mile south of Forestdale, were es tablished in 1865. They manufacture about 1,000 tons per annum and em ploy 20 men. The paint varies in color from very light yellow to dark yellow and dark red, and light and dark brown. David W. Prime is president of the company. The Eagle Foundry was established in 1867, by Payne, Christie & Hendry. In 1875 Mr. John Christie bought out his partners and now carries on the business alone. He manufactures plows, cultivators, brackets, plant stands, match boxes, etc., giving employment to ten men. Churchill Saw Mill, located on Mill River, was built in 1850, by M. H. Churchill, and is now owned by G. H. Churchill, who manufactures about 5,000 feet of lumber per day. Durkee's saw and planing mill, located at Brandon village, employs three men and manufactures 500,000 feet of lumber and 200,000 shingles per year. It is operated by water power. The first tree felled in the township of Brandon, (then Neshobe,) with a view to settlement, was in the month of October, 1772, by Amos Cut ler. April 5, 1773, John Ambler and David June, his son-in-law, came into town from Stamford, Ct., an$l made their " pitch " jointly, south of and ad joining Mr. Cutler; and extending, as it was afterwards surveyed, to near the north line of Pittsfield. These were followed by Josiah Powers, Elisha Strong, Thomas Tuttle, Joseph Barker, John Mott, George and Aaron Rob ins, Benjamin Powers, Jonathan Ferris, Joshua Goss and Samuel Kelsey ; all but the last two are supposed to have come previous to the Revolution. The organization, by the choice of the necessary officers, took place Octo ber 7, 1784. The law then in force required that such proceedings should take place at the time of the annual town meeting, which was then, as now, held in March, but the Legislature, then about to meet at Rutland, soon after confirmed their proceedings by a special Act. The massacre spoken of as giving rise to the name of Burnt Town, oc curred in 1777, the township being then visited by a party of Indians, who killed two men, George and Aaron Robins, and made prisoners of most of the inhabitants, and set fire to their dwellings and to a saw mill which they had erected. Joseph Barker, his wife, and a child eighteen months old, were among the prisoners. The next night, with no other shelter than the trees of the forest and the canopy of heaven, and with no other company than the infant above named, she gave birth to another child. She was found the fol lowing day and removed with her children to Pittsford. Mr. Barker was carried to Middlebury, where, feigning himself sick, he suc ceeded during the night in making his escape, and arrived safely at Pittsford. TOWN OF BRANDON. The farm whereon the Robins brothers were killed is located on road 23, and is occupied by Nelson B. Wheeler, and owned by N. T. Sprague. They were buried where they fell, and after many years their remains were taken up, and amid imposing ceremonies, on one 4th of July, buried in the old cem etery at Brandon village. Amos Cutler, the first white man ever known to have passed a winter in town, came from Hampton, Conn., settling on road 45, upon the farm now owned by Josiah Rosseter. Here he made an " opening " and built a log cabin, which he occupied " solitary and alone" during the next winter, having no other companion than a faithful dog. He was then 23 years old and sin gle. In the fall following, he returned to Hampton and was married to Amy, daughter of Jacob Simonds, November 23, 1773. As a fruit of this marriage there was born unto them two sons and four daughters. He died March 18, 1 818, on the old farm where he had resided 46 years. David June came to Brandon from Stamford, Conn,, in 1773, in company with his father-in-law, John Ambler. They made a joint " pitch " in the south part of the township, to which Mr. June added, by subsequent purchases, making in the whole 225 acres, which comprised his homestead at the time of his death. Mr. Ambler died in about three years after he arrived in town. Mr. June was born September 9, 1746, and married to Prudence Ambler in Stamford, she dying April 17, 1797, aged 45. His son, Stephen, was the first male child born in the town that lived, bom September 11, 1774, and resided here until his death, which occurred February lo, 1861, he being 86 years of age. David's education, like most farmers of that day, was quite deficient, yet his sound judgment, good sense and unshaken integrity, rendered him exceedingly useful in the management of town business, and he was one of the first selectmen. He died on the 24th of June, 1819, in the 74th year of his age. Jedediah Winslow came to Brandon in 1778, from Barre, Mass., settling on the north-east side of Otter Creek, near the road leading from the village to the Blackmer bridge. He was a man of great physical powers, being tall and of large limbs, was remarkably shrewd, good natured and a great manager in the perilous times of the Revolution. At the formation of the Congregational Church, in 1785, he was the first deacon, and for several years, until they had a pastor, he took charge of the worship. Mr. Winslow died April 5, 1794, aged 69, Micah Brown came to Brandon from Ashford, Conn., settling at an early date in what is now the village of Brandon, on the place now owned by Hiram Blackmer. His daughter, Mary, married Chauncey Capron, and is now living in Brandon, at the age of 65. Mr. Brown was a major of militia, and, like other pioneers, endured many hardships. David Merriam came from Walpole, N. H., 1^1787, settling on road 3, upon the farm now owned by Wm. H. Williams. He* was twice married, his first wife, Phcebe Foster, dying April 7, 1794, aged 30. His second wife, Betsey TOWN OF BRANDON. 89 Conant, a sister of John Conant, died in June, 1842, aged 67. Mr. Mer riam was a hatter, but early in the history of the town gave up the trade entirely, and gave his whole attention to farming. He died March 26, 1826, aged 62. He was an active and useful member of the Baptist Church, of which he was for a long time, and until his death, a deacon. He was a selectman several years, and held various other town offices. Two of his sons, Isaac and Jonathan, became Baptist ministers. Edward Cheney came to Brandon from Dublin, N. H., in 1782, settling upon the land east, and not far from the spot where the marble-mill now stands, on road 16^. Mr. Cheney came to the town on an ox-sled, his family making the eighth then in town. He successfully cultivated a large tract of land, making his own farming tools, wagons, household furniture, etc. He was an influential citizen, and was for many years deacon and clerk of the Baptist Church. Of his family of eight children, four settled in Brandon. There were at one time eight families of Cheneys in town ; but there is now only the family of J. W. Cheney, who resides on the homestead of his father, Samuel Cheney. David died suddenly of the epidemic of that season, Jan. 24, 1 8 13, aged 64 years. His widow died March 19, 1 841, aged 88. Of the children of J. W. Cheney, Albert, the oldest, was a volunteer in the Union Army, and died at sea, February 17, 1865, while on his way to join the 7th Vt. Regiment at New Orleans. Edward Cheney was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, having volunteered to take his father-in-law's place, Ezekiel Hale, of Stowe, Mass., who was drafted. Elijah Cheney, son of Edward, was a soldier in the war of 181 2, and was with others taken prisoner by the British, at Black Rock, near Buffalo, N. Y., and from there taken to Halifax, N. S., where he spent a winter of terrible suffering from cold and hunger. Samuel Cheney, also son of Edward, was a member of the militia, and started for the defence of Plattsburg. The Brandon Co. at that time numbered 70 men, under the captaincy of Micah Brown. It was called out by order of General Strong, the Governor having refused to respond to the call for aid. The company being detained at Charlotte about crossing the Lake, they did not reach Burlington until the battle had begun, and so were ordered to remain there, as they might be needed for the defence of that town. Joshua Goss came to Brandon from Montague, Mass., in 1783, settling near the June place, where he resided about thirteen years, and then bought of Noah Strong, for ^480, 180 acres, the well known Goss place, where he long kept a public house, and which is now the town farm. Mr. Goss died in December, 1826, aged 75 years. Salathiel Patch came to Brandon from Mt. Holly, at an early date, settling upon the farm now owned by Henry W. Patch, located on road 19. He was a son of John Patch, one of the early settlers of Mt. Holly, having set tled near the foot of Patch's Pond. Jacob Farrington, from Kinderhook, N. Y., came to Brandon in 1786, set- 90 TOWN OF BRANDON. tling upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Franklin Farrington, located about one mile north of Brandon village, on road 36. Here he resided until his death, which occurred on March 13, 1808, aged 79 years. His son, Dan'l Farrington, was born in the state of New York, May 31, 1773, being about 13 years old when his father moved to Brandon. Here young Farrington was devoted to agricultural pursuits for several years, and during these years of severe, yet honorable toil, laid the foundation of his after success as a man. In 1808 he was elected as lieutenant of the militia, and entered upon a new life. Hitherto he had been chiefly engaged in home and private concerns, but he was now called upon to participate in state and national affairs. Dif ficulties had grown up between the United States and Great Britain, a rup ture between the two governments was anticipated, and the commercial rela tions of the two countries were seriously disturbed. The smuggling business led to frequent encounters between the smugglers and custom house offi cers, in some of which blood was shed and lives lost. In the first serious affray of this kind, Mr. Farrington was an actor. On the 30th of May, 1808, he received orders to repair to the line between the States and Canada, for the purpose of sustaining the famous embargo laws. He complied with the request and was stationed at Windmill Point, one and a half miles from, Rouse's Point. In August of this year a guard of eighteen men were placed in his command with orders to pursue and take a smuggling vessel called the Black Snake. After reconnoitering the islands in the lake, the vessel was dis cerned and taken in the Winooski, a short distance from Burlington. In the melee several men were killed, and Lieutenant Farrington was seriously wounded in both arms, near the shoulder. One ball struck his forehead, pass ing over his head, grazing him in its passage and leaving him for a time com pletely senseless. Several of the smugglers were secured and safely lodged in the jail at Burlington. After due process of law three of them were sentenced to the State's Prison for ten years, and one by the name of Dean was hung. In this encounter Lieut. Farrington showed great intrepidity and coolness, his character as a man of mettle and courage was fairly established. From this time to the close of the war of 1812, he was more or less engaged in active service as a soldier. On the first day of February, 18 15, he received his com mission as Captain, the said commission being dated from the 13th day of April, 1 813. It is now in as good a state of preservation as though it were issued but yesterday. It is printed on parchment, and contains splendid auto graphs of the Secretary of War, James Monroe, and of the President, James Madison. After the war of 1812, Mr. Farrington returned to Brandon and was engaged in agricultural pursuits, in which he was quite successful. He was much respected and held various offices in the gift of the town, until his death in 1865. Joshua Field, son of Gaines and Sarah (Holton) Field, was born in North- field, Mass., in 1746. In the year 1786 he removed to Brandon, settling up on the farm now owned by Burgess P. Field, on road 1. He was a Revolu- TOWN OF BRANDON. 91 tionary soldier, serving in the New Hampshire Militia, and was at the Battle of Bennington. He died on the old homestead in Brandon, on the 26th of March, 1837, aged 91. Of his children, four now reside in Brandon, as follows : Stearns J. Field, Burgess P. Field, Caroline J. Wing, (widow of S. Davis,) and Mahala M. Baker, (wife of John L.) who now resides on Carver street. His son, Paul, was killed by an ox, October 21, 1834. Stearns J., son of Paul, in 1862, crossed the plains to Idaho, where he was engaged in carrying the mail from Bannock City to Salt Lake City, a distance of 500 miles. To perform this journey he used one mule and a horse. The object of thus oddly matching the animals was for the reason that when separated they would not whinney for each other, and thus, mayhap, expose him to the In dians. He was often pursued by Indians, and twice severely wounded by them. He returned to Brandon November 12, 1866, where he still resides. John Townsend came to Brandon in the year 1800, and located upon the farm now owned by his son John, Jr. Mr. Townsend married Eunice Howe, the union being blessed with seven children — three sons and four daughters. John Jr. was born on the old homestead, February 20, 1807, and has resided there most of the time since. He married Abby Johnson, by whom he had a family of five children, three of whom, daughters, are still living. Samuel Burnell came to Brandon from Woodstock, Conn., in 1788, and settled on road 6, corner 7, upon the place now owned by his granddaughter, Sophia Ford. Mr. Burnell started for Brandon in March, 1787, arriving in Tinmouth on the 16th of March, where he remained one year, when he came to Brandon and built a log house a little west of the town farm. He was a resident of the township for more than half a century, was a Revolutionary soldier, member of the State Legislature and justice of the peace for many years, and respected by all. He died July 5, 1838, aged 80 years. His son Asa resided with the old people until their death, when the property reverted to him, and is now in the possession of his daughter Sophia. Jabez Lyon came to Brandon from Woodstock, Conn., at an early date, and settled in the north part of the township, on road 6. Mrs. Lucy Spaulding, who now resides on Park street, at Brandon village, is a daughter of Jabez, and 84 years of age. She said her father resided in Brandon several years before her birth. Jabez was an upright man and much respected. He died March 16, 1843, aged 87. Zephaniah Hack came to Brandon, from Taunton, Mass., in 1800. He settled upon the farm now owned by Sardis Hack, on road 42. Here he resided until his death, which occurred July 22, 1847, at tne age of 83 years. Silas Keeler came to Brandon from Chittenden in 1796. He leased the farm now in possession of Silas J. Keeler, on road 32, for a term, — " as long as wood grows and water runs." Here he resided until his death, which occurred August 16, 1845, in tne 73r(* year of his aSe- Samuel Capron came from Mass. to Brandon, about the year 1805, and settled upon the farm now owned by his son, Chauncey, who is at present in 92 TOWN OF BRANDON. his 74th year, hiving spent nearly his whole lifetime on this farm. Samuel lived to see his seventy-fifth year, when he died upon the farm where he had settled. Chauncey has in his possession a gun which was used by his great grandfather, Jabez Lyon, Sr., in the Revolution. He has also several other relics, among which are button and spoon moulds, and a wooden canteen (barrel shaped), which were owned by his great grandfather, Benj. Capron, who was one of the first settlers of Rutland. John Knowlton came to Brandon from Whenem, Essex Co., N. Y. in 1815, and settled here permanently in 1823. He was a carpenter, residing in Brandon village. His sons, Julius A. and Gardner J., still reside in the town. N. T. Sprague was born at Pomfret, (now Hanson) Mass., Jan. 23, 1786. At the age of thirteen he moved with his parents to Cavendish, Vt, where he resided a few years and then lived several years at Plymouth. At the age of 22 he commenced business for himself in Mt. Holly. He was for twenty- five years a merchant in that place, kept a hotel twelve years, and was at the same time extensively engaged in agricultural pursuits, owning at one time five hundred acres of land in a body. He filled, at various times, acceptably and honorably, all the offices of that town in the gift of the people. He re moved to Brandon in 1832. Having already amassed a fortune by his superior business ability, and by the practice of those old-fashioned virtues, industry, frugality and economy, he at once took a high rank among the wealthiest citizens, and was ever after prominent in the banking and other financial affairs of the town. He was director of the old Brandon Bank, and president of the First National Bank, till he was succeeded by his son, Hon. N. T. Sprague, Jr. He represented the town of Brandon in the Legislature for five years, making in all nineteen years of legislative experience. He was for several years one of the assistant judges of Rutland County. He voted 'eighteen times for President of the United States. He died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. R. V. Marsh, in 1876, in the 91st year of his age. Rodney V. Marsh, the second son of Daniel and Mary Marsh, of Claren don, was born July n, 1807. After receiving his academical education, he came to Rutland and read law with Rodney C. Royce. He was admitted to the Rutland County Bar in 1832, and came immediately to Brandon, where he opened an office for the practice of his profession, and where he resided over forty years. In 1834 he married Eliza E., daughter of Hon. N. T. Sprague, who still resides in Brandon. Mr. Marsh early identified him self with the temperance cause, and sustained by his own strict course what he recommended to others. He also early identified himself with the anti- slavery cause ; and was found in the vanguard of the anti-slavery ranks some forty years ago. For three years in succession he was elected by the citizens of Brandon as representative to the General Assembly, where he was prom inent, and at that time attracted much public attention. He continued to be a prominent member of society up to the time of his death, which occur red at his residence in Brandon, on the evening of Friday, March 8, 1872, aged nearly 65 years. TOWN OF BRANDON. 93 John Conant, a native of Ashburnham, Mass., was borri February 2, 1773. He came to Brandon in 1796, and purchased of Simeon King and Joseph Hawley, "one-half the mills and water power in the village," for the consider ation of ^160; deed bearing date December 23, 1796. He had served an apprenticeship to the trade of carpenter and joiner, and the knowledge thus acquired, added to superior mechanical talents, was of great service to him in the important business which he established, and in superintending the valuable buildings and works of his own, erected in after years. By subse quent purchases he became the proprietor of the entire water-power in the village. In 1816 he built the stone grist mill, still standing at the head of the lower falls; and in 1839, he erected the brick mill below it, which at that time was one of the best structures of the kind in the State. In 1820 he erected the furnace in the village, the first blast of which was made in October of that year. To this establishment, long and familiarly known as "Conant's Furnace," is the village of Brandon chiefly indebted for the im petus then given, and for its continuous growth and prosperity. No man's name, perhaps, has been more intimately associated with the town of Bran don than that of John Conant ; not however on account of the public positions he has held, but from the nature, extent, and successful prosecu tion of his business operations for a long series of years, which gave employ ment to a large number of persons. He died June 30, 1856, in his 84th year. His sons, C. W. and John A., continued for many years in active business after their father's retirement. John A., now over 80 years of age, is living here in quiet leisure, honored and respected for his many virtues. The Town Farm of Brandon is located on road 7, and contains about 150 acres. At present there are nine paupers who are supported here at the town's expense, of which three are insane. Charles H. Colson is the superintendent. Stephen A. Douglass was born in Brandon village, in the house now owned by Mary F. C. Hyatt, on Grove street. Stephen's father died when Stephen was an infant, dying suddenly of heart disease while holding Stephen in his arms. He attended school at the old school-house on Park street, until he was about 15 years of age, when he went away to school and never resided in town afterwards. Among the last of his school days in Brandon, he boarded at the house of John Knowlton. His sister Sarah afterward attended school in town and boarded at Knowlton's house. She subsequently married a man by the name of Julius Granger and removed with him to Western New York. The pleasantly located building at Brandon village, now occupied by the Brandon Graded School, was erected about fifty years ago, under the auspices of the Baptist denomination of this State, who established the school that the children of its members might receive a higher education in a school con trolled by the Church ; but more especially it was to be a nursery for young men preparing for the ministry. The school was the object of much hope and solicitude on the part of the Baptists of the State, and the project was fondly entertained of ultimately making it a theological school. 94 TOWN OF BRANDON. The State was thoroughly canvassed in its behalf, and its friends contributed liberally. The citizens of Brandon village, without distinction of sect, sub scribed a large sum. The venerable Dea. John Conant and his sons, C. W. and J. A., then in active business in Brandon, contributed the largest sum. The school was incorporated as the "Vermont Literary and Scientific Insti tute." This cumbrous title soon fell into disuse, and -it was known by the name of " The Brandon Seminary." In its early years the school was well patronized by the denomination which established it, counting among its stu dents, representatives from nearly all the Baptist churches in the State, and also being well patronized by the town and vicinity. But like some other sectarian schools of that Church, in a few years it faded, and as a denomina tional school it ceased to be an object of much interest to that Church. During the remainder of its existence it was sustained as a local academic school, after having a principal of some other faith. Finally, about the year 1865, the project of converting it into a graded school began to be agitated. It was found by the terms of the charter, the property could not be sold. So after much consultation of authorities and several meetings of the trustees, it was resolved by them to lease the building and grounds to the village for a term of 999 years. The building was literally reconstructed, it being arranged in six large and well furnished school-rooms. In addition to these there were recitation and reception rooms, and laboratory, all being heated by steam, and with all modem improvements, at a cost of about $22,000. The school was opened with a fine corps of teachers on the ist of September, 1868, since which time it has been in a flourishing condition. The Brandon Library Association was formed November 27, 1862, and about 130 volumes purchased for a library. After a struggle for life, the Asso ciation ceased to be and did not meet for a period of four years. On January 25, 1869, the library, by vote of the Association, was turned over to the Far mers and Mechanics Club, who have from time to time added to it, until now it contains about eight hundred volumes of choice standard works. The Farmers and Mechanics Club was organized in the winter of 1862-3, and met at the houses of the different members, on the itinerant plan; the evening being spent in comparing notes and conversing on the various matters pertain ing to agriculture and mechanics. On the 7th day of Nov., 1872, the General Assembly passed an act of incorporation, giving the Club the privileges usually accorded to organizations of this kind. A Fair is held every fall, when a large display of agricultural products and implements may be seen. The roll of members has numbered* three hundred; but by deaths, removals, etc., the number has been reduced, but the interest is still maintained. There are eight different places where the inhabitants of Brandon have buried their dead, though several of them have long since been closed. The first interments were made on the "June Farm," so called, in the south part of the township. Here we find many quaint inscriptions on the tomb stones, among which is the following :— " In memory of John Ambler, who TOWN OF BRANDON. 95 died May 5, 1776, in the 42d year of his age. Also of Sarah, the wife of John Ambler, who died July 14, 1785, in the 55th year of her age. "pray Children call as you pass by, And learn by us that you Must die ; We once in life Was blithe and gay, but Now Are Mouldering into Clay." In Sugar Hollow, in the south-east part of the township, there is another old burial place, long since closed. Another was located on the farm of Abraham Gilber, one of the early settlers, and now in the possession of A. S. Cook, Esq., is still open' for interments. The burial ground in Brandon village was opened about the year 1793, and has become so full that it is now seldom used for interments. In Forestdale there is another burial place often frequented. In 1856 the Pine Hill Cemetery was opened with appropriate religious ceremonies, in connection with the burial of Isaac F. Merriam, M. D., the first tenant of the cemetery proper. The ample and attractive grounds of this cemetery were the gift of John A. Conant, Esq. Recently, a Receiving Tomb was constructed at the expense of Mrs. E. E. Marsh, who presented it to the town. In 1877 the ladies of Brandon village formed themselves into a society known as the "Ladies Cemetery Association," for the purpose of raising funds to improve the cemetery grounds. About $1,300.00 have been raised since that time, of which $900 have already been expended in and about the ceme tery, in building a wall, fountain, etc. The young ladies of the Association procured three hundred dollars, which was used in the purchase of gates for the grounds. In addition to those already mentioned, the Roman Catholics have two localities, more exclusively their own, pleasantly situated and well cared for. St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church, located at Brandon village, was organized June 15, 1839, by Royal Blake, Benj. F. Green, Charles Backus, Edward Sherman, Francis Webb, Charles Webb and James Briggs, seven members in all, Rev. Josiah Perry being the first pastor. The parish had no church edifice at this time, but soon afterward bought the upper room in the old Town Hall, (now Engle's Block,) and fitted it up for a chapel, with chan cel, altar, lecterns and organ. The congregation used this chapel until the present church edifice was erected (1863). It is built of stone, Gothic style, and will seat comfortably 250 persons, the original cost being about $3,500, and is now, together with the grounds, valued at $8,000. The parish at present numbers about 100 communicants, with Rev. Henry Bedinger as rector. The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Brandon village, was organ ized in 1 80 1, by Daniel Pomeroy, with Elder Hulbert as pastor, and but few members. The membership has since increased to 135, with George W. 96 TOWN OF BRANDON. Brown for their present pastor. The present church edifice was erected in 1874, and is a commodious building, capable of seating. 350 persons, and cost $13,000. The whole Church property is now valued at about $20,000. The Congregational Church, located at Brandon village, was organized September 23, 1785, by Rev. Mr. Sell, of Dorset, and consisted of Jedediah Winslow and nine others. Mr. Winslow was the first deacon, and took charge of the services for several years, until their first pastor, Rev. Enos Bliss was settled. The first meeting-house was built of logs and stood near the center of the town. About 1797 or '98, the second house was erected upon the site now occupied by the present church. When nearly completed, it took fire and burned down; upon the old foundations they erected another, which yielded satisfactory accommodations until 1831. In April of that year the old church was demolished, preparatory to laying the foundation of the present brick structure. Its dimensions are 75 by 52 feet, and cost about $5,000. In 1858 it was thoroughly repaired at a cost of $3,000, and is now a neat commodious structure, capable of seating 450 persons. Rev. Walter Rice is the present pastor. St. Mary's Catholic Church, located at Brandon village, was organized by Rev. J. Queillon, in 1852, it then consisting of 60 families. The church building was erected in 1853, and much enlarged and embellished in 1858, so that it is now capable of seating 550 persons. The society at present consists of about 75 families, with J. C. McLaughlin as pastor. Grace Episcopal Church, located at Forestdale, was organized by Royal Blake and others in 1842, with a membership of 12, and Rev. Mr. Perry as rector. The church building was erected in 1851, at a cost of $5,000, and is capable of seating 250 persons. The property has greatly depreciated in value, the whole at present being valued at only $3,000. The society now consists of about 25 members, with no regular pastor. The Baptist Church, located at Brandon village, was organized, 1785, con sisting of twelve members. In 1789 Mr. Isaac Webb was called to ordina tion and settlement, the first pastor of the church and the first minister set tled in the town. His pastorate was followed by that of twelve others succes sively, the last of which has just terminated, the society being now without a pastor. In its infancy the society held their meetings in dwelling houses, with only occasional preaching. In 1 790 a log house was constructed and occupied as a place of worship until 1800, when a commodious frame house was erected and occupied until 1832, when their present substantial brick edifice was completed and opened for use. The original cost of the structure, including the expense of its late reconstruction and improvement, may be estimated at $14,000, and the present value of church property, including buildings, $15,000. The seating capacity of the building will accomodate about four hundred and fifty persons. The present membership of the society is one hundred and sixty-five STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. RUTLAND COUNTY GRAMMAR SCHOOL. ABEL "E. LEAVENWORTH, A. M., Principal and Proprietor. CASTLETON, VERMONT. TOWN OF CASTLETON. 97 ASTLETON is located in the western part of the county, in lat. 43° 34' and long. 30 56' east from Washington, and bounded north by Hubbardton, east by Ira, south by Poultney, and west by Fairhaven, and a part of Benson ; the charter was granted to Samuel Brown, of Stock- bridge, Mass., by Gov. Wentworth, of New Hampshire, September 22, 1761, and although granted to him there is no evidence that he ever acted with the proprietors, or that he ever retained any interest in the township. The original proprietors were principally from Salisbury, Conn., of whom one was named Castle, a heavy proprietor, and from whom the township probably takes its name. In 1767, Cols. Amos Bird and Noah Lee surveyed the town and allotted the usual seventy shares, with five reserved for public purposes according to custom, and eleven years after this, March, 1777, it was organized, with Jesse Belknap as first town clerk. The surface is diversified by hill, mountain, plain, lake, river and rill, has a salubrious climate, pure water, beautiful scenery, and in fact, every attribute for making it what it is, one of the most desirable and important towns of the county. The eastern portion is broken and mountainous, but still retains many fertile valleys, while the verdure of the mountain sides gives sustenance to large herds of cattle and sheep. Most of the western, and part of the southern section is a plain of the most fertile soil, though in some places in tersected by slate-rock and ridges of slate-gravel. The rocks are chiefly argillaceous, occasionally traversed by veins of quartz, and again alternating with, or enclosing large masses of the latter rock; small quantities of second ary lime-stone are found in a few localities. Specimens of oxyd of manga nese are found in the south-east part of the town. The rocks are disposed in elevated ridges in the eastern and northern sections, and in some places abrupt and precipitous, but for most part covered with fertile arable soil. The whole is watered by a number of streams, the most considerable of which is Castleton River, which flows across the southern part, receiving the waters of Lake Bomoseen, into Fairhaven, where it joins Poultney River. Near the central part of Castleton it is joined by a mill-stream of some con siderable size, called North Britain Branch. The outlet of the lake has sufficient fall to afford a very good mill-privilege. " Bomoseen " is supposed to be an Indian name, meaning " pleasant wafer" ; apt and poetical it is too, as indeed most Indian names are, for the lake and its surroundings are in deed beautiful. It lies in the western part, extending across nearly the whole length of the town, and a short distance into Hubbardton ; it is eight miles long, and two and a half wide at its greatest breadth, lying in a basin of rocks, and in some parts of great depth. An island containing an area of about ten acres is situated near the centre, covered with small trees and shrubs, affording a charming summer resort for parties of pleasure, and adding much to the beauty of the scenery. Under the auspices of the Rutland County Historical Society and the citizens of Rutland County, a celebration was held on Mason's Point, July 4, -? 98 TOWN OF CASTLETON. 1 88 1, for the purpose of conferring a name upon this Island, about fifteen thousand people being present. Hon. J. B. Bromley, of Castleton, was chosen president, and Hon. Henry Clark, of Rutland, chairman of the his torical exercises. The following was the order of proceedings : — " ist, Music by the cornet bands of Castleton and West Rutland; 2d Prayer by Rev. E. T. Hooker, of Castleton; 3d, Opening Address by Hon.

Leavenworth • 14th, Adoption of the name, by cheers from the crowd, music by the bands, firing of salutes, waving of flags, and breaking a bottle of milk upon the rocks of the Island." On the east side of the lake is a very pleasantly situated hotel, called the Pic-Nic House, connected by steamboat with the R. R. Depot at Hydeville, which is much resorted to by pic-nic parties and pleasure seekers ; it was built in 1876, and is still owned by Marquis Bixby. In 1880 Castleton had a population of 2,605 j it was divided into twelve school districts, with fourteen common schools, employing four male and nineteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2,335.30. There were 533 pupils attending the schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 30th, was $2,667.79, with Mr. J. E. Metcalf, superin tendent. The Delaware and Hudson Canal Co's R. R. crosses the southern part of the town from east, to west, and at Castleton village is intersected by the Rutland and Washington R. R. from the south. Castleton, a post village and station on the D. & H. C. Co's R. R., is very pleasantly situated on the southern bank of Castleton River, on a level plain, elevated about thirty feet above the stream. Main street, extending east and west, crossed at right angles by South street, form the two principal streets. The dwellings, about 150 in number, are remarkable for a uniform neatness and convenience. In the village are four houses of worship, a town-hall, a dozen or more stores, and the Rutland County Grammar School building, beautifully situated at the head of Seminary street. (See Cut, opposite page 97.) As early as the year 1786, the citizens of Castleton initiated plans for the establishment of a grammar school. The money was raised, a building was erected a little to the east of the present site of the Methodist church, the land having been donated for the purpose by Samuel Moulton, and a school was begun. October 15, 1787, the General Assembly passed the following Act:— TOWN OF CASTLETON. 99 " Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont ; That the place for keeping a County Grammar School, in and for Rutland County, shall be at the house commonly known by the name of the New School House, near Doctor William Wolcott's, in said Castleton : Provided, That the County of Rutland shall not be at any cost or charge in completing or repairing the same." The school was continued in this building until 1800, when it was con sumed by fire, and it is authentically stated to have been the third school, in order of time, of this grade, established within the limits of the State. Another and a larger building was soon erected, and on October 29, 1805, an Act was passed by the General Assembly, entitled " An Act confirming a Grammar School in the county of Rutland," and the Rev. Elihu Smith, the Hon. James Witherell, and the Messrs. Chauncy Langdon, Aruna.W. Hyde, Theophilus Flagg, Samuel Shaw, James Gilmore, Amos Thompson, John Mason, Enos Merrill, and Isaac Clark, were constituted a board of trustees under the title, " The Corporation of Rutland County Grammar School." March 11, 1807, Rollin C. Mallory was elected twelfth trustee, thus filling the Board. Sec. 3 of the Act reads as follows : — "And it is hereby further enacted, that the house in Castleton, lately erected on the spot where stood the school-house for said County which was lately consumed by fire, be, and is hereby established as a County Grammar School-house for said County, so long as the inhabitants of said Castleton shall keep the same, or any other house at the same place, in good repair for the purpose aforesaid, to the acceptance of the County Court for said County." Save a limited amount of the subscriptions for the purchase of the brick building now used by the school, and the rents accruing from Grammar School lands, the entire expense incurred for buildings provided for the use of this school has been met from the first by the generous citizens of Castleton. Rev. Oliver Hulbert was preceptor of the school until 1807, when he re signed and settled as a minister in Ohio. Tradition reports that the school was well sustained. R. C. Moulton succeeded him and was followed by William Dickinson, Eleazer Barrows, who "was eminently popular and suc cessful," Rev. John L. Cazier and Henry Belknap. In 1815 the building was moved further back from the street and repaired at much expense. In 1 819, Rev. John Clancy, a graduate of Middlebury College, taught for one year. In 1820, Mr. Henry Howe became preceptor. He remained in charge six years, during which period the school increased in numbers and greatly prospered. In 1826, he became principal of an academy at Canandaigua, N. Y., where he achieved a wide reputation. Rev. Edwin Hall, D. D., afterwards president of Auburn Theological Seminary, N. Y., succeded Mr. Howe. In May, 1828, Mr. Solomon Foote, late U. S. Senator from Vermont, was chosen preceptor. He entered upon the work with high aspirations. The TOWN OF CASTLETON. grammar school building becoming too strait for these, he conceived a plan for a high school for boys. October 29, 1828, the style of the school was changed by Act of the General Assembly to that of " The Vermont Classical High School." Through the zealous efforts of Mr. Foote and his associate, Mr. Fordice Warner, a spacious edifice was begun, one hundred and sixty feet long and forty feet deep, with a massive stone basement, surmounted by three stories of brick. Their means failing, Mr. A. W. Hyde generously completed the building at a cost of upwards of thirty thousand dollars. November ist, 1830, an Act was passed restoring the original corporate name. Mr. Foote did not long continue his school for boys, failing of sufficient patronage,, and the spacious building fell into the hands of Mr. Aruna W. Hyde, who had furnished most of the means for its erection. To turn it to a successful and paying purpose tested the business capacity of its owner to the utmost. It was tried as a tavern, was used by the Medical College, and was offered for sale to several religious denominations, for school purposes. In the meantime the Grammar School was in a transition state, with frequent change of principals, among whom were Rev. Truman M. Post, D. D., now of St. Louis, Mo., Hon. John Meacham, late member of Congress for Ver mont, while the brick building remained unoccupied. Finally, in 1833, the Trusteees of the Grammar School rented it for four years at an annual rental of four hundred dollars. Rev. Charles Walker, D. D., and Rev. Lucius F. Clark, were chosen associate principals. From this date the school became a boarding as well as a day school. Within one year the number of pupils increased to two hundred. At the end of the year Mr. Walker returned to the ministry, while Mr. Clark remained in charge until 1837, when he became Professor of Chemistry and Natural History in the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville. Rev. Mr. Maeck, for a time his associate, succeeded him as principal. March, 1838, the large brick building was purchased of Mr. A. W. Hyde for sixteen thousand dollars. From that date it remained in possession of the corporation until its purchase by Capt. Abel E. Leavenworth, May, 1881. September 3, 1838, Rev. Edward J. Hallock was elected principal, and con tinued at the head of the school until the spring of 1856. Under his man agement the school had an unexampled career of prosperity. He rendered valuable service in raising funds to cancel the debt of purchase, Mr. Hyde al lowing thereon three thousand dollars for every thousand raised by Mr. Hal- lock. The number of pupils was also increased, reaching at one time as high as two hundred and fifty. He afterwards died of cholera at St. Louis, Mo., and the Alumni of the school have since erected a fine monument to his memory, in the cemetery at Castleton. Rev. Azariah Hyde was principal for three years and was succeeded in 1859 by Rev. Stephen M. Knowlton, now of New Haven, Vermont, who had been assistant to Mr. Hyde. In 1862, Miss Harriet N. Haskell, of Walds- TOWN OF CASTLETON. Iol boro, Maine, a former pupil of the school, was appointed principal, and con ducted the school, under the title of Castleton Seminary, with marked success, for five years, when she resigned, to become principal of Monticello Semi nary, at Godfrey, 111. During her last year the Medical College building was donated for the use of the school by Carlos S. Sherman, and moved upon its present site, at the east end of the Seminary building. February, 1857, a State Normal School for the First Congressional District was established in connection with the Rutland County Grammar School, by the Vermont Board of Education, the Trustees, on their part, expending sev eral thousand dollars in fitting up rooms for its use, and in the refurnishing of the main building. Since that date the Medical College has been known as the State Normal Building. From this date until 1876 two schools were conducted by the same princi pals. Rev. R. G. Williams was in charge until 1874, and labored zealously to compel success. Edward J. Hyde, A. M., succeeded him for one year, 1874-75. Rev. George A. Barrett followed for the year 1875-6. In August, 1876, the Seminary course was suspended and Walter E. Howard, A. M., be came principal, laboring zealously for two years and doing good work. In 1878 he accepted an appointment as principal of a normal school in Tennes see, and Judah Dana, A. M., for many years principal, respectively, of the graded schools at Woodstock, Windsor and Rutland, was called to the charge of the Normal School. He held the position for three years, and under his charge the number of pupils was greatly increased. In June, 1881, he was succeeded by Abel E. Leavenworth, A. M., a grad uate from the University of Vermont, who has had an experience of over a quarter of a century as principal of classical and normal schools. By the purchase of the property, the Trustees are relieved of the pecuniary embarrassments that have weighed upon the school for several years, and greatly hindered its prosperity, and permanency in the principalship is se cured. The general supervision of the school remains, as before, in the " Corporation of Rutland County Grammar School," and in the State Super intendent of Education. West Castleton, a post village, located in the north-west part of the town, contains one store, one church, one slate manufactory and about fifty dwel lings.

Cookville, a small hamlet, located on the west shore of Lake Bomoseen, contains one slate manufactory and about a dozen dwellings. The Lake Shore Slate Company (quarries and manufactory, located at West Castleton,) was established as the West Castleton R. R. & Slate Com pany in 1852. In 1878 the name was changed and it has since been known as the Lake Shore Slate Co. The quarries are worked to the depth of one hundred feet, and have been in operation with little cessation since '52, being the oldest in this section. Their mill is 120x60 feet, and operated by water- power, where the slate is manufactured into billiard table beds, mantel stock, etc. They employ about 60 men in the quarries, etc., the product being to the value of $30,000, which, taken together with other branches of their busi ness, will aggregate $40,000 per annum. Clifford &° Litchfield's Slate Works, located at Cookville, were established in 1856. They employ about 35 men and manufacture slate goods to the value of $25,000 per annum. S. G. Bassetfs saw-mill, located on North Hubbardton River, was built about 1868, and used an upright saw until 1880, when the mill was enlarged and a circular saw added. Field &= Co.'s marble and slate mill, located at Hydeville, is now (June, 1 881) in the process of erection, they having not begun operations yet. Sherman cSv Gleason' s marble saw-mill, located at Hydeville, is operated by contract by James T. Freeman, who employs 14 men and works 12 gangs of saws. Freeman was born in Rutland, came to Castleton in 1842, where for the last 3 1 years he has been connected with the firm of Sherman & Gleason. Downs &> Delehanty 's Slate Works, located at Hydeville, were established in 1873, and now employ seven men, manufacturing about $8,000.00 worth of mantel- stock per annum. Billings Slate and Marble Company, located at Hydeville, was incorporated March 3, 1879, the company consisting of E. D., C. W., G. H. and L. H. Billings, and D. W. Ford; E. D. Billings, president and treasurer, and L. H. Billings, secretary. They manufacture about $40,000.00 worth of slate and marble goods per annum. Uniform Green Slate Company— John J. Jones and Edwin A. Brien— have their office in Hydeville, their quarry being situated in the southern part of Poultney, where they employ 13 men and manufacture about $500 worth of roofing slate per month. Benjamin F. Graves' agricultural implement manufactory, located at Hydeville, was established in 187 1. He employs three men and manufac tures about $3,000.00 worth of implements per annum. Francis A. Barrow's foundry and agricultural implement manufactory, located at Castleton Corners, was erected in 1851. ' He employs six men and manufactures from $8,000.00 to $10,000.00 worth of goods per annum. Sherman &* Armstrong's marble works, located on road 28, have been in operation for 40 years; but the present company have owned them only since May, 1880. They employ about twenty men in sawing and finishing marble. TOWN OF CASTLETON. loj The first settlers in Castleton were Col. Amos Bird and Col. Noah Lee, from Salisbury, Conn. The first visit made by them to the town was in the year 1767, they being attended by one colored man. The summer of that year was spent in exploring and surveying the township ; but no record of what was done remains. During the season a log cabin was built on a bluff in the south western part of the town, on what was afterwards known as the Clark Farm. In the following autumn they returned to Salisbury. The next year the same party of three returned with the purpose of making a permanent settlement ; they made a small clearing but planted no seeds that year. Col. Bird returned to Connecticut before winter, leaving Lee and the colored man to occupy the log house alone. That winter was very severe and they suffered much from the cold and scarcity of provisions. In the spring of 1770 Bird returned with Ephraim Buel, Eleazer Bartholomew and Zadock Remington, with* their families, arriving in May. These were the first and only settlers during that year, Bird and Lee not bringing their families until later. Other families followed, however, year by year, until in .1775 there were in the township about thirty families, and eight or ten un married men. The first child born was Israel, son of Ephraim Buel, in 1771. Abigail Eaton, daughter of John Eaton, born the same year, was the first female. The natural water power at the outlet of the lake, where Hydeville now stands, early attracted the attention of the settlers, and as the south-west part of the town abounded with excellent pine timber at convenient distance from the outlet, a saw-mill was erected here in 1772, and the year following a grist-mill. The saw-mill was built chiefly through the personal enterprise of Col. Bird, who spared no exertions and shunned no expense in accom plishing his work, which proved to be his last. In the prosecution of it he contracted fever, from which he died September 16, 1772, in the 30th year of his age. This was a severe blow to the infant colony, who deeply mourned his loss. His remains were interred on the banks of Castleton River, near where the old turnpike crossed it, and not far from his former residence ; but in 1842 they were removed to the public cemetery, with appropriate ceremonies, and a substantial monument: — "Erected by citizens of Castleton and friends as a tribute of respect to a worthy man." He was born at Litchfield, Conn., in 1742. The widow of Col. Bird re turned to Salisbury, Conn., soon after the death of her husband, and did not again visit Castleton. Col. Lee settled in the east part of the township, on what was afterward known as the Gridley Farm. A log house was built near a beautiful spring of water, where they lived until the commencement of the Revolutionary war. Mrs. Lee then returned to Salisbury and was absent seven years, while her husband was engaged in the affairs of the Revolution, in which he took a prominent part. Among the proprietors of Castleton he was active, and in 104 TOWN OF CASTLETON. the troubles under the government of New Hampshire, the Council of Safety, and the claims of New York, he was vigilant. At the commencement of the Revolution he took a decided part on the side of American Independence. At the time Col. Ethan Allen mustered his men at Castleton for the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, Col. Lee was prime mover of an expedition against Skeenesboro, (now Whitehall), which left Castleton at the same time and resulted in the capture of Major Skeene. From 1781 till the close of the war he served in the capacity of captain in the Continental Army in Pennsyl vania. He was in the battle of Yorktown, and present at the surrender of Cornwallis. Having received an honorable discharge at Albany, N. Y., he returned to Castleton with his family, and there spent the remainder of his days, mostly in agricultural pursuits. His physical constitution was remark ably good, and retained its vigor to a great age. His descendants are numer ous and widely separated. Zadock Remington settled a half mile west of Castleton village in 1770. He was a large proprietor and a prominent and highly respectable man, noted for his eccentricities. It was a peculiarity of Mr. Remington, not to return a direct answer to any question. When asked by a business man in Troy, N. Y., about the pecuniary responsibility of a neighbor in Castleton, he replied :— " You see Capt L. is a very tall man ;" thus indirectly express ing his opinion, if any one was shrewd enough to guess his meaning. His was the first frame house erected in Castleton, where he kept the first tavern. He was a man of correct habits, and at an advanced age became decidedly religious. He lived to be 94 years of age. Hyde Westover, one of the early settlers, served two months in the war of 181 2. He was at the battle of Plattsburgh, and also assisted in raising a company of minute men at Hubbardton, who were drilled through the win ter, but in the spring were not called into service. Mr. Westover was also a landlord, having kept the Westover House, at Castleton Corners. This is situated on the old government turnpike, over which all the munitions of war passed from Albany to Vergennes, in the war of 1812. At this time Mr. Westover was assistant to Benjamin Carver, who kept a hotel on the corner opposite where the Westover House now stands. There they entertained Gen. Wade Hampton and many soldiers of his army, of whom the following anecdote has been related by Mr. W. :— One morning Mr. Hampton was taking the stage to leave for Vergennes, but seeing a lady in the coach, ordered the driver to take her out. The driver, (also the proprietor), in- informed him the lady was on her to way Burlington, to take care of her father who was ill, and he could either ride with her or wait for the next stage. The General concluded to ride with the lady. From the Westover House can be seen the homes of Col. Noah Lee, Col. Rifle Clark, Prof. Geo. N. Boardman, of Chicago Theological Seminary, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, a missionary massacred in Turkey, also the burying place of Col. Bird, of whom it is said the first three boards sawed in his mill were used in the construction of his coffin. TOWN OF CASTLETON. I05 Samuel Moulton settled in Castleton from Simsbury, Conn., at an early date. His son, Samuel, was born there in 1782, and died in 1838, at the age of 56 years. From 1810 to the time of his death he was postmaster. After his death, his son Cullum was appointed, who held the office about ten years, when he engaged in other business. William, also son of Samuel Jr., was appointed in 1861, and has held the office ever since. Ira Hartwell came to Castleton from Barre, Mass., when but four years of age. He resided here 76 years, being 80 years of age when he died. Ora- mel, son of Ira, and Calista, a daughter, wife of Asahel Pond, now reside in the town. These were the only children, except one daughter who died at the age of fifteen. William Sanford came to Castleton in October, 1799, where he resided till his death, March 24, 1866.

When the war of the Revolution broke out he returned to Connecticut, but came back to Castleton again in 1777, where he resided until his death, in 1828, aged 78 years. His son, Ira,, born in Connecticut, came to Castleton with Nathaniel in 1777, and continued his residence here until his death, in 1844, at the age of 68 years. Nathaniel had a family of seven children, all but one of whom lived most of their life-time in Castleton. Dr. Josiah N., son of Ira, has been a practicing physician in Castleton vil lage 38 years. Rev. D. M. Knapen was bom in Orwell, Vermont.

He has had a family of twelve children, six of whom are still living. James Williams, born in Pawlet in 1797, came to Castleton in 1818, where he resided until his death, on January 28, 1879. His wife, Harriet, still re sides at Hydeville. F. S. Heath, born in Addison County, came to Castleton in 1840, estab lishing the first boat-house and ferry on Lake Bomoseen. The last salmon trout ever seen at the lake was taken by Mr. Heath, and measured 3 feet 4 inches in length. The skeleton was sent to the medical museum at Castle ton, where it was preserved. 106 TOWN OF CASTLETON. Col. Isaac Clark was one of the early settlers in Castleton, where he mar ried a daughter of Governor Chittenden, and served as a colonel in the war of 1812. The same horse that he used in the army, drew him to his grave. The old homestead is still in the possession of the Clark family, having been owned by them over a century. James Adams came to Castleton village in the year 1800, where he was engaged in mercantile pursuits for many years, dying in i860. His son, Benjamin F., was born in 1813, and is still a resident of the town, as is also another son, James. Josiah G. Harris, from Pittsfield, Mass., came to Castleton in 1795, resid ing here until his death, in 1834. He served as town clerk thirty-five years. His daughter, Sarah, widow of Timothy W.

He has served the county as deputy sheriff several years, and resided in the town until his death, June 30, 1881, at the age of 82 years. Chauncey Langdon was an early settler, and one of the first lawyers of Castleton, where he was town representative for many years. Benjamin F, son of Chauncey, was born in 1798, studied law with his father and practiced in the town until his death, which occurred May 31, 1862. Ebenezer, brother of Chauncey, came to Castleton in 1792, and his son, Selah H., is^still a resi dent of the town. The house now occupied by him stands upon the old Fort ground, and was built by Walter Mcintosh, an early settler. Mr. Langdon has in his possession an old camp kettle, once the property of Gen. Burgoyne. Lemuel Ransom, from Connecticut, came to Castleton about the year 1800, locating on road 8, where he built the house now occupied by his grand son, Albert V. Ransom. Chas. Lincoln came to Castleton, from Rhode Island, in 1785, locating on road 8, upon the farm now owned by his son, D. S. Lincoln. Chas. died in 1826. D. S. was born in 181 4, and has been a deacon of the Baptist Church of Hubbardton 35 years. Stukeley Thornton came to Danby from Rhode Island at an early date, where his son Stukeley was born, and subsequently settled in the north part of Ira in 1777, where he resided until 1851, when he removed to Castleton, locating upon the farm now owned by his son, Asahel P. He died in 1862. Asahel P. was born in Ira in 1833, came to Castleton with his father, and still occupies the old homestead. A. W. Hyde, born in Hyde Park, Vt., 1779, was one of the most active business men of Castleton. He came to Sudbury with his father in 1801, and town of Castleton. 107 in 1818 came to Castleton in attendance upon the Rutland County Gram mar School, and was afterwards employed as clerk in the store of John Meacham, where he eventually became a partner. In 1836 he purchased a stage line of E. B. Dewey, and afterwards owned a line from Troy to Bur lington, and from Rutland to Whitehall ; he was also one of the original trus tees of the Grammar School appointed by the Legislature. In 1845 ne removed to Hydeville, where he built up a flourishing village. He was killed by a locomotive at Hubbardton road- crossing, near the ground where the Fort once stood. Brewster Higley was one of the pioneers of Castleton, having located upon the farm now owned by his great grandson, A. E. Higley, who is now ex tensively engaged there in the breeding of blooded stock. The house now occupied by John Howe, on Main street, was built by Myron Mcintosh, previous to the year 1800. The house east of the village, now owned by H. L. Baxter, was built, by Sylvanus Guernsey, in 1800. Guernsey came to Castleton from Litchfield, Conn., with his father, Solomon, in 1784, he being then but fifteen years of age. His father built a brick house and store where the Bomoseen House now stands ; he also dug a well at the west end of the house, which has never failed and is now used by the towns-people. Solomon died in 1789. His grand-daughter, daughter of Syl vanus, Mrs. Menira Caswell, is still a resident of the village, at the age of 75 years. Her husband died here June 30, 1881. The capture of Ticonderoga and the invasion of Canada which followed, left western Vermont comparatively secure for a time ; but the retreat of the American forces up the lake in 1777, laid the whole region open again to depredations from British and Indians. Castleton, the frontier town, was the rendezvous for recruits for Ticonderoga at this time, for which a most earnest appeal was made, as the British were seen to be closing around the fortress. Some 20 recruits were gathered here in July, 1777 ; a part of the citizens of Castleton, waiting an increase of their number, so as to make it safe for them to go to Ticonderoga. On the 6th of July, the day previous to the battle of Hubbardton, there occurred quite a lively skirmish in Castle ton between these recruits and a British foraging party. About half a mile east of Castleton village, on the north-west corner of the east and west road and the Hubbardton road, stood the house of George Foote, where religious worship was held on the Sabbath. Upon the corner opposite was a school- house. A mile and a half north of this, on the Hubbardton road, lived Capt. John Hall. Still further north, on what is known as the Ransom Farm, was a building appropriated to recruits. On the Sabbath, July 6th, while the people were gathered for religious worship, the alarm was given that the enemy was approaching. At the same time the recruits came flying down the road and took shelter in the school-house and in the house of Mr. Foote, the women and children taking shelter in the cellar. There was a brisk firing from both sides for a considerable time, but the casualties were few, as Io8 TOWN OF CASTLETON. the one party was covered by the buildings, and the other by the trees of the forest. Soon there was a closer conflict. Capt. Williams, a volunteer from Guilford, Vt, was wounded in the groin, but would not yield; and, in a hand to hand fight, dealt a heavy blow upon a British lieutenant. He was then bayoneted through the body and expired in a few moments. Capt, John Hall received a shot in the leg, and as he lay profusely bleeding, called for water, and as his wife was bringing it to him, a tory named Jones kicked the dish from her hands. Capt. Hall died of the wound not long after. One of the British infantry was mortally wounded and another shot through the body, but recovered through the kind attentions of Mrs. Hall — rendering good for evil. One of Capt. Williams' sons was wounded in the heel in the early part of the engagement, and fled to the woods. He finally reached Rutland in a famishing condition. Two sons of Capt. Hall, Elias and Alpheus, George Foote and others, were taken prisoners and taken to Ticonderoga, but made their esoape after a few weeks. The body of Capt. Williams, wrapped in a blanket, without a coffin, was rudely buried at the foot of a tree near by. Forty-four years after, his remains were disinterred and the bones carefully gathered and laid together in exact order, and re- buried in the village grave-yard with appropriate ceremonies. Thus ended the skirmish at Castleton, which was followed on the morrow by the memor able battle of Hubbardton. The Baptist Church of Hydeville was organized in 1849 by A. Allen, S. Whitlock, and a few others, with Rev. Mr. Smith as pastor. The society was prosperous for a time, but then languished and was not able to support itself; until finally Dea. James Williams died in 1879, bequeathing the society his property. Thus it now has about $15,000 at interest which is to be used for the support of the Church. The Episcopal Church of Hydeville was organized in 1848, by I. Davy, R W. Hyde and E. Wallace, with Rev. Mr. Bailey as rector. Services were first held in the school-house ; but a large building belonging to Mr. Hyde was subsequently fitted up for this purpose, which was destroyed by fire in the year 1853, when the present edifice was erected in its stead, where services have since been held. They have no settled rector at present. The Congregational Church at Castleton village was- organized in 1784, by Job Swift, of Bennington, with a membership of eighteen and Mattheus Cazier as pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1790, which was followed by the present one in 1833. The present building is a large, commodious structure, capable of comfortably seating 800 persons, and cost about $7,000.00. The whole church property is now valued at $10,000.00. The society numbers 150, with Rev. Edward T. Hooker, pastor. The Methodist Church of Castleton Village was organized in 1824, by Jonathan Eaton. At its organization the society had but four members, with Rev. C. P. Clark as pastor, but it has since increased to 116, with Rev. J. P. Metcalf for their present pastor. The church building was erected in TOWN OF CHITTENDEN. log 1824, a comfortable structure, capable of seating about 200 persons. The original cost of the house was $3,000.00, which, together with the grounds, is now valued at $5,000.00. St. John's the Baptist Catholic Church, located at Castleton village, was organized in 1834, by their first pastor, Rev. John Daly, with a membership of fifty, which has since increased to 200. The present building is a neat, comfortable structure, capable of seating about 260 persons, erected at a cost of $13,000.00, and was converted into a Catholic church in 1879. Its present value, including property, is estimated at about $15,000.00. The Rev. P. J. O'Carroll, of Fairhaven, is the present pastor of the society. The Second Advent Church, located at Castleton village, was organized un der the labors of Eld. Milon Grant, in 1 860. At its organization it had about 25 members, with Rev. Albion Ross as first pastor; this membership has since increased to 100, with Geo. W. Wallace for their present pastor. The church building was erected in 1861, at a cost of $3,000.00, and will seat about 450 persons. Regular services are sustained, and the Church is flour ishing and free from debt. The Calvinistic Methodist Church, located in the south-west part of the town, was organized by the Rev. William Hughes, of Utica, N. Y., in 1862, with a membership of 20, and Rev. Daniel Rowland pastor. This member ship has since increased to 40, with Rev. Hugh Davis for their present pastor. The house of worship was erected in 1868, costing about $4,000.00, and will seat about 200 persons. The value of the property has depreciated during the last few years, so that the whole property is now worth only about $2,500.00. St. Josephs Catholic Church, located at West Castleton, was organized by Rev. J. P. O'Carroll, of Fairhaven, in 1879, with a membership of 150, and has remained about the same number since. The church building was erect ed the same year, a neat little structure, capable of seating about 200 persons. It cost $2,500.00, and is now valued, including property, at about $3,000.00. HITTENDEN lies in the north-western part of the County, in lat. 430 44' and long. 4° 10' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Goshen and Rochester in Addison County, east by Pittsfield, south by Mendon, and west by Pittsford and Brandon. It was granted the 14th and chartered the 16th of March, 1780, to Gershom Beach and sixty-five associ ates, and still retains its original limits, together with one-half the township of Philadelphia, which was annexed Nov. 2, 1816, so that it now really contains a township and a half, or since the annexation, about fifty-four square miles of territory. The town was organized March 30, 1789, with Ebenezer Drury, moderator; Nathaniel Ladd, clerk; and Nathan Nelson, Nathaniel Ladd and Solomon Taylor, selectmen. The name "Chittenden" being derived from Thomas Chittenden, the first governor of the State, probably because of its being the first grant issued by the General Assembly of Vermont. TOWN OF CHITTENDEN. The surface is very broken and mountainous, some parts of it so much so as to be incapable of tillage or habitation, the whole eastern portion being very sparsely settled. The western portion, however, is quite thickly popula ted and contains some very fine farms. The land is watered by several small streams, the largest of which are East Creek and Furnace River. East Creek rises near the central part of the town, flows a south-westerly course and is discharged into Otter Creek, near Rutland village. Furnace River rises in the north-western part of the town, flows a south-westerly course and empties into Otter Creek in Pittsford. A branch of White River and its tribu taries water the portion lying east of the Green Mountains. There are also two small ponds in the town, but do not seem to be of sufficient importance to acquire the dignity of a name. The scenery is varied and pleasing, as is the case in all Green Mountain districts. Among the mountains are found several quite considerable cav erns, that lend a charm of mystery and an air of romance to the sterile peaks. The rocks are those peculiar to the Green Mountain range, mostly gneiss among which is found two beds of iron ore and one of manganese, neither of which is worked at present. As early as the year 1792, there was a furnace for smelting the ore, in operation, situated on Furnace River, built by a Mr. Keith, of Boston, but it has long since been abandoned. Manganese is used largely as a coloring material in the manufacture of glass and enamels; but its greatest value is in the manufacture of steel. It is of a grayish-white color presents a metallic brilliancy, is capable of a high degree of polish, and is so hard as to scratch glass and steel; and when mixed with iron, it gives that metal increased elasticity and hardness, — hence its use in the manufacture of steel. The distance of the Chittenden mines from a railroad has caused them to languish, for reason of the expensive transportation of the ore. In some of the mountain valleys, and in the basins of Furnace River and East Creek, are located many excellent farms. The soil is an alluvial deposit, and produces wheat, barley, oats, rye, Indian corn and potatoes. But the greater wealth of the town consists in its herds and flocks, the principal ex ports being wool and products of the dairy. The timber is that common to Green Mountain districts, namely,— beech, birch and maple, interspersed with pine, hemlock, spruce, elm, and black and white ash ; some of the trees attaining an enormous growth. One old elm, standing on a narrow strip of land between Chittenden proper and what was formerly Philadelphia, measures six feet in diameter at a distance of forty- eight feet from its base. The whole length of its trunk was sixty-eight feet, having three limbs, either of which was three feet in diameter. Lumbering is carried on to some considerable extent, the first mill for its manufacture being erected in the early part of the present century; and from the maple, large quantities of sugar are manufactured each year. There has been, from time to time, about twenty thousand dollars expend ed in making and repairing roads and building bridges, which amount was TOWN OF CHITTENDEN. Ill raised by direct taxation on all the land in the town. Three public roads have been built across the mountains. The first, known as the Green road, passed from Rutland, through Pittsford, over Thomas hill, and through "New Boston" to Pittsfield. This was the old mail and stage route from Rutland to Pittsfield, and was closed early in the history of the town. The second, known as the North Mountain road, passed from "New Boston" to Pittsfield, a short distance north of where the Green road crossed the mountains. The third, and the one over which the daily mail is now carried, passes from Rut land through "Slab City" to the old turnpike, thence to Pittsfield. In 1880 the population of the town was 1,092. It was divided into nine school districts and contained nine common schools, employing one male and twelve female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $983.48. There were 209 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending Oct. 30, was $1,106.27, with Mr. Riley V. Allen super intendent. Chittenden is entirely a rural district having no villages. The post office is located at Chittenden, a small hamlet in the south-west part of the town, on East Creek. J. &• A. Baird's saw mill, located on road 20, is operated by water- power, has one large circular saw and manufactures 5,000 feet of lumber per day. T. B. &° M. L. Cheedle's saw mill, located on road 9, is operated by water-power and manufactures about 400,000 feet of lumber per annum. Naylor 6r Co's saw mill, located on road 5, is operated by water-power. It has one lumber saw and five small saws for slitting boards, etc., and employs four men, manufacturing 50,000 feet of lumber per annum. John Leffcrt's saw mill, located off road 21, is operated by water-power, has one lumber saw and one clapboard saw, turning lathes, planers, etc., employs five men and manufactures 300,000 feet of lumber and 100,000 feet of clapboards yearly. Steam power will be added to the mill the coming season, which will increase its capacity to 1,000,000 feet per annum. The first settlers of Chittenden were Nathaniel Ladd, John Bancroft, Ger shom Beach, Jonathan Dike, Solomon Taylor, Nathaniel Nelson, Oliver Bogue, Zeb. Green, John Cowe, Jacob Walton and Asa Farrar, all of whom settled in the southern part of the township. Of the sixty-six pro prietors, only four, Solomon Taylor, John Bancroft, Daniel Barnard and Nathaniel Ladd, ever setled in the town. The first town meeting was held at the house of Solomon Taylor, March 30, 1789, with Nathaniel Ladd as clerk. Ladd settled on the farm now owned by H. F. Baird ; Anson Ladd, his son, was the first child born in the town. The first saw mill was built by Pickley & Nevins in 1808; and located on the site now owned by Jesse L. Billings. Since that time twelve others have been built, most of which have been in successful operation for many years. At an early period of the town's history a grist mill was erected in TOWN OF CHITTENDEN. " New Boston," and another at " Forge Flat," though the latter was never put in operation. The first blacksmith shop was built by Andrew Barnard, in 1802. The first general training ground was in "New Boston," on the land now owned by Wood & Eayres, of Pittsford. Jonathan Dike and Solomon Taylor located in the northern part of the town. They cut and stacked hay the first two or three summers on the Beaver meadows, drawing it three miles over Thomas hill in the winter, on hand-sleds. They used to go, in common with others of their townsmen, to Bennington with a portion of their grain for grinding. Dike, on one occa sion, brought from Bennington a bushel of salt for which he was offered a bushel of corn for each pint. One of the early settlers was the Indian, " Capt. John." He was with the French and Indians at the time Gen. Braddock marched the English army through the wilderness to attack the French at Fort Duquesne. He fired at Washington three times, and, failing to hit him, concluded he was invincible, and after the battle, left the French army and joined the English, where he was subsequently one of Washington's life guard. Capt. John left in Chittenden a stone pestle, which is now in the Vermont State Cabinet. He died and was buried in Mendon, but his bones subsequently graced the office of a surgeon and M. D. in Rutland, and later were in an M. D's office in Pittsford, where they remained until recently. Dan Barnard, an original proprietor, was one of the Insurrectionists who attempted to prevent the County Court from holding its session at Rutland on the 2 2d day of November, 1788. Walcott H. Keeler, a representative from the town, introduced and influ enced the passage of a bill abolishing imprisonment for debt. Caleb Churchill died a few years ago, aged 99 years, 5 months and 11 days. He was one of the early settlers in the northern part of the town, in that portion formerly included in Philadelphia. He located upon the farm now owned by Patrick Mullin. Chittenden, in common with other townships of the county, suffered much during its early his tory from the depredations of bears and wolves. But the men, women, boys and girls, without ^ regard to age or sex, often carried terror into |]j| the ranks of these " pests of the wilderness." One of the modes of warfare was to surround <"p»t of™ w.ld™».») and make them prisoners, on which occasions the women and children were called into active service. On one occasion, in the year 1810, the howling of wolves on Spruce Peak was heard, about ten o'clock in the evening. On the following morning, five wolves found themselves surrounded by men and women, boys and girls, armed with guns and pitch-forks. Four of the wolves were . taken prisoners. A bear was once taken near the " Ladd " road, between North and South Chittenden, which weighed over six hundred pounds. TOWN OF CHITTENDEN. 113 The oldest person ever residing in the town was Aaron Beach, who died about the year 1816, aged 102 years. Jonathan Powell came from Sullivan, N. H., in Sept. 1808, and settled on the farm now owned by Almon Powell. Samuel Harrison, an early settler, was born at Norton, in the county of Der by, England, April 26, 1756. About the year 1780, he immigrated to Pittsfield, Mass., when he married Rebecca Keeler, and subsequently removed to Chit tenden in 1789, and located upon the farm now owned by William Mullin. Jeffrey A. Boyne settled at an early date, in the north part of the town, upon the farm now owned by Lewis I. Winslow. This farm is now said to be the best in the township, and one of the best in the county. It is pleas antly located, overlooking the Otter Creek valley, and bringing to view some of the most beautiful scenery in the county. Along down the valley, a dis tance of seven miles, can be seen the busy little village of Sutherland Falls, and still farther to the south, a distance of twelve miles, the village of Rut land and its surroundings. Mr. Winslow took the farm some fifteen years ago, since which time he has been constantly improving it and its surround ings. A small stream winding its way from the mountains to Otter Creek, affords water power whereon he has constructed a mill which grinds all his grain, as well as several thousand bushels for his neighbors, each year. The same power also does all the threshing, wood-sawing and churning for the farm. A large spring situated about 166 rods north-east of the house, furn ishes clear, cold water, never above 45° in temperature, in an abundant sup ply. Among his other stock, Mr. Winslow keeps sixty-five head of cattle. Joseph Atwood, when seventeen years of age, removed from Mexico, N. Y., and settled in Chittenden, upon what is now known as the Churchill estate, in the year 1803. His brothers, Billings and John, settled here at about the same time. Near the hamlet of Chittenden, in a beautiful little valley, is situated the homestead of the notorious Eddy family, which at one time created such an excitement with their alleged " spiritual manifestations and materializations." Their seances became so notorious and were attended with so much mystery, that the place was visited by hundreds, and their feats were discussed so much in scientific circles, as to render the name of Chittenden noted. The father, Zephaniah Eddy, a farmer living at Weston, Vt., married one Julia Ann Macombs, a girl of Scotch descent, who was born in the same town. About the year 1846 Mr. Eddy sold his farm and removed to the present homestead. Mrs. Eddy claims to inherit from her mother the gift of "far-seeing," for she not only had previsions of future events, but also claimed the faculty of seeing the denizens of the mysterious "nether world," from whom she claimed to receive visits. To them was born three children, Wil liam, Horatio and Mary. They also inherited this gift of their mother, and it is to them the Eddy family owes its notoriety, they having traveled all over the country giving spiritual seances. They induced many to believe in their -8 114 TOWN OF CLARENDON. supernatural gifts, but the majority of people pronounce their feats mere trickery and fraud. Nathaniel Ladd was the first town clerk, from March 1789 to 1790. Na than Nelson, 2d, from 179010*93; then John Coe, from 1793 to 1813 — 20 years; David Wadsworth, from 1814 to '16; Warren Barnard, 1816 to '18; Wolcott H. Keeler, 1818 to 1822 ; Jonas Wheeler, 1822 to '24; Wolcott H. Keeler, 1824 to '28 ; Moses Randall, 1828 to the 14th of November, 1843, when he died ; Alvin Randall served till March, 1844; Capen Leonard, Jr., till March, 1847, three years; Chauncey Taylor, from 1847 to 1854; Alvin Randall, 1854 to '56; Reuben Harris, 1856 to '71, fifteen years; H. F Baird, to the present time. Two senators, both of whom were born and educated in Chittenden, have represented the county in the State Legislature, with ability and honor. Jonathan Woodard and Josiah Pierson served in the Revolutionary war, and Thaddeus Baird and Israel Hewett served in the war of 181 2. Of the late war, Wallace Noyes and Cyrus Whitcomb died at or near Vicksburg. Azro P. Noyes was killed near Richmond, in Kilpatrick's raid. Martin Clark, C. P. Barnard, Lewis Martin, L. L. Baird, Valorious Bump, and Wilber F. Free man died in the army. About the year 18 10, the Episcopal Methodists organized a society, but some dissensions arising soon after among its members, the presiding elder, (Draper,) disbanded the society and burned the class-book, together with the society records. From that time until 183 1, the few sectarians of the town united with the Congregationalists of Pittsford. During this year the Epis copal Methodists organized a society and erected a church building, and the year following, the Congregationalists built a church edifice, though both of these societies have become extinct. The Methodist property is owned by the Wesleyan Methodists, and the Congregational house is used by the so ciety of Grangers. There are two Episcopal churches of more recent origin, in the south part of the town, where meetings are occasianally held. The North Chittenden Church, (Wesleyan Methodist,) located at Forge Flats, was organized by Rev. J. H. Canfield, on March 20, 185 1, with a mem bership of eleven, which during the first fourteen months increased to forty; but has since decreased again to about thirty. The building will seat about 150 persons, and was erected in 1832, at a cost of $500,00; but its value has since decreased, so that the whole Church property is now only worth $300.00. Rev. S. B. Town is at present their pastor. BLARENDON comprises within its limits a part of the two New York f grants of Socialborough and Durham. No settler located in the town whose lands were long held under either of these grants, the lands be ing all held, however, under the charter issued by Gov. Wentworth, of New Hampshire, dated September 5th, 1761. It contains 23,600 acres, located near the centre of the county, in lat 430 31' and long. 4° 6', and was divided TOWN OF CLARENDON. 115 into 70 shares, chartered to Caleb Williams and others. Just at what date the town was organized is not known, the first records extant, being dated 1778, at which meeting Stephen Arnold was clerk, and Levi Calvin first selectman. In 1854, by an Act of the Legislature, a portion of the western part of the town was annexed to the town of Ira. The township is entirely an agricultural region, without villages ; the in habitants being almost exclusively devoted to farming. The landscape is diversified by mountain and valley, hill, river and dale. From the Quarter- line road, No. 5 on the map, may be had one of the finest views in the county. The mountains, mantled with forests, the hills covered with verdure whereon graze the many flocks, and the peaceful valleys nestled between, covered with fields of waving grain, dotted completely over with farm-houses, bring before the eye of the beholder a panorama of rare beauty, at the same time impressing him with a sense of the wealth and thrift of the people. Extending through the town from north to south is a range of hills called West Mountain, which, together with high lands in the extreme north-west and south-east portions of the town, are the highest elevations. Several considerable streams irrigate the soil, of which Otter Creek, flow ing through the central part of the town from south to north, is the largest. Parallel with, and distant west about if miles from Otter Creek, flows Tin mouth River, traversing the entire length of the town. Cold River, in the north, and Mill River in the south part, enter the town from Shrewsbury, flowing a westerly course, emptying into Otter Creek. Numerous other small streams are situated in different parts of the town, lending beauty to the land scape and richness to the soil. Mineral springs are found in several localities, whose waters are celebrated for medicinal purposes. In the south-west part of the town is found quite a large cavern, called "Clarendon Cave." It has three different apartments or rooms, which extend back into the rocks some 200 feet or more. The first and largest room is thirty-five feet long, ten feet wide and from ten to twelve feet high. Large rocks, resembling chairs and benches, have been ranged around the apartment by Dame Nature, producing a very weird effect. From this room you descend a ladder about ten feet, and are ushered into the sec ond apartment. This is about ten feet square and from ten to twelve feet in height. The third is still eight feet lower than the second, and about eight feet square. In the centre of it is a " boiling spring," the water bubbling up, resembling very much the boiling of a cauldron. Clarendon is bounded north by Rutland, east by Shrewsbury, south by Wallingford and Tinmouth, and west by Ira. It had a population in 1880 of 1,106. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1880, the town was divided into eight school districts, and had eight common schools, employing four males and ten female teachers, whose salaries amounted to $1,165.30. The number of pupils attending school was 207, and the total amount expended for school purposes, was $1,301.02. G. H. Morse was the superintendent of schools. Il6 TOWN OF CLARENDON. The Rutland Railroad enters the town near the centre of its eastern boundary, traversing its north-eastern corner, while the Bennington & Rutland Railroad passes through the eastern part from north to south. It contains four post-offices, viz : Clarendon, East Clarendon, North Clar endon and Clarendon Springs. The latter is quite a little hamlet, made noted by the mineral springs found there, which are resorted to by hundreds each year in quest of health or pleasure. They are situated in the north-west part of the town, on the west side of Tinmouth River. Tradition says they were first discovered in 1776, by one Asa Smith, who resided in the eastern part of the town. He is reported to have " dreamed " of a spring in the western part of the town, and, full of faith, started through the wilderness in search of the spring that would furnish water that would restore him to health. Ar riving at this spot, he recognized it as the one he had seen in his dream, and accordingly, at once drank of the water, and bound clay saturated with it upon his swollen and inflamed limbs. The scrofulous humor, which had been a source of annoyance, at once yielded to the potent influence of the water, and he was soon restored to perfect health. The Clarendon House, located at the Springs, is a large hotel owned by B. Murray & Sons, capable of ac commodating one hundred guests, and has also three cottages capable of ac commodating one hundred more. In front of the hotel and cottages is a fine park, filled with shade trees, and in the center, a pond and fountain, throw ing a shaft of water thirty feet high. (See page 320.) A. 6- B. E. Horton's mills, located at North Clarendon, are run by water power, and embrace a saw, grist and cider mill in one building. They em ploy eight men and manufacture 200,000 feet of lumber, 15,000 cheese boxes and ten car loads of chair-stock annually. The Marshall Cheese Factory, located at North Clarendon, receives the milk of 360 cows and manufactures 100,000 lbs. of cheese per annum. N S. Walkers' s cheese factory is located on his farm, near Chippen Hook. He received during the past season, the milk from 200 cows, and manufac tured 50,000 lbs. of cheese. Tradition says that Clarendon derived its name from a man by that name, who was the first person buried within the limits of the town. The first set tlers were Elisha Williams, Samuel Place, Elkanah Cook, Benjamin Johns and Randall Rice, who came from Rhode Island and Connecticut in the spring of 1768. Selecting locations on which to settle, in different parts of the town, they returned to their homes the following fall, coming back to Clarendon again the next spring, bringing their families with them. It was then, the spring of 1769, that the first permanent settlement was made, Rice and Johns, with their families, locating near the central part of the town, on the east side of Otter Creek, and were joined the same year by Stephen Ar nold, Place, Cook and Williams, locating in the north part of the town, then known as Socialborough. These families were soon followed by Jacob and Amos Marsh, and their nephews Daniel and William Marsh, Whitefield Fos- TOWN OF CLARENDON. H7 ter and Oliver Arnold,"who settled in the north part of the town, on the east side of Otter Creek. They brought with them but little, except one cow, and depended for subsistence upon their rifles and fishing-rods. They all worked together, detailing one of their number each week to milk the cow and pro cure the game and fish. At the approach of winter, their united labors had erected five log houses and cleared a sufficient piece of land with each for crops the coming season. Therefore all except William returned to their homes and brought their families to the settlement the following spring. Wil liam went north, intending to go to Montreal, and was never heard of after. Previous to 177 1, James Rounds and John Hill had taken lots on the east side of the creek and commenced improvements. Thus, ten families were all that had settled in the town previous to 1771. Several families had settled farther south, on what is known as the " South Flats." In 1772 and '73 settlement was commenced in the south-east part of the town by Ichabod Walker, a Mr. Nichols and Mr. Osborn. These families had all left their homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut, and settled in Clarendon, in the midst of a dense wilderness, with the intention of making it their permanent home. They therefore were, quite naturally, anxious to procure sound titles to their land ; so many of them purchased deeds under both grants. During the land title controversy, and especially during the eight years' war with Great Britain, titles to land in the western part of Vermont were de cidedly insecure. Claimants, under New York, would eject those holding under New Hampshire, while the New Hampshire men would in turn eject the New Yorkers. This state of things could only result in quarrels and ex pensive litigations, which lasted until long after the close of the war, and seemed to be peculiarly bitter in Clarendon, until settled by the Legislature. This was done by an Act called the "Quieting Act," originated and advocated by Daniel Marsh, who was a member of the Legislature from the town of Clarendon for quite a number of years. William Crossman immigrated from Easttown, Mass., in 1777, settling in Brandon. From thence he moved to Clarendon in 1781, settling on the farm now owned by W. R. Crossman. William was a revolutionary soldier. While living in Brandon, Burgoyne came down as far as his place and took his oxen and all his grain from him, leaving him destitute. John Weeks came from Washington, Conn., in 1787, and settled in Claren don, on the farm now owned by John Cleveland. Caleb Hall, an old settler in the town, was born in Dunbarton, N. H., and came to Clarendon when he was fourteen years of age, where he resided until his death, at the age of 74. Mr. Hall, in his time, was one of the most active and prominent men of the town, held several town offices, and was for a long time postmaster at Clarendon Flats. Jonathan Parker settled in the north part of the town in 1785. Mr. Par ker was a wealthy and influential man, owning at one time nearly the whole of the town of Mendon, which for a long time was called Parkerstown. Il8 TOWN OF CLARENDON. Silas Hodges, a surgeon of Washington's army, settled at an early date, in Clarendon, on the farm now owned by Hannibal Hodges. James Eddy settled in town at an early date, coming from Rhode Island. He, for a long time, acted as a scout for the Colonies during the Revolution, and was one of the nine who went from Clarendon with Lieut. Hall, to sur prise a party of Indians on Gillmer's Creek, taking only six days rations with them and were gone twelve days. Lewis Walker came to Clarendon from Cheshire, Mass., in 1779, settling on the farm now owned by his great-grandson, N. S. Walker, where he resided until his death, in 1813. Mr. Walker was a member of the Baptist Church, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. Lewis Walker, Jr., was born in Clarendon, on the homestead of his father, Jan. 24, 1781. He was selectman several years, town treasurer and justice of the peace for more than twenty years, and represented the town in the Legislature two years. Lewis M. Walker, son of Lewis Jr. and grandson of Lewis, was born on the old homestead Feb. 24, 1808, where he still resides. Mr. Walker was formerly engaged in mercantile pursuits, but is now engaged in farming. He has served the town as lister and justice several years, and in the Legislature in 1857 and 1858. Silas Whitney, the first selectman of the town, elected in 1778, came from Connecticut in 1770, settling on the farm now owned by L. Holden. Isaac Tubbs immigrated to the town from Connecticut about the year 1780, settling on the farm now owned by Daniel Tubbs. Isaac built a tan nery on the farm, where he manufactured leather for more than forty years. Daniel Colvin, from Rhode Island, settled in the town, on the farm now owned by Benjamin Fisk, in 1780. Mr. Colvin worked on his farm during the summer months, returning to Rhode Island in the fall, where he would follow the sea until the next ssason. Eliphalet Spofford was born in Temple, New Hampshire, in 1773. He settled in the north-east corner of Clarendon when it was nearly a wilderness, cleared a small tract of land and built a log house, in which he raised a family of eleven children. He died in i860, aged 87. He was a descendant of John Spofford, one of the first settlers of Rowley, Mass., in 1638, and of whom the following ancedote is told: During his residence at Rowley, a drought was followed by a great scarcity of food, and he repaired to Salem to purchase corn for himself and neighbors. The mer chant to whom he applied, foreseeing a greater scarcity and higher prices, refused to open his store to supply his wants. Having pleaded the neces sities of himself and others in vain, he cursed him to his face ; but on being immediately taken before a magistrate, charged with profane swearing, he replied that he had not cursed profanely, but as a religious duty, and quoted Prov. xi, 26, as his authority: " He that withholdeth corn from the hungry, the people shall curse him." He was immediately acquitted, and by the summary power of the courts in those days, the merchant was ordered to deliver him as much corn as he wished to pay for. TOWN OF CLARENDON. II9 Elias Steward, from Volney, Conn., settled on the farm now owned by J. Q. Stewart, in 1777. Christopher Pierce came to Clarendon from Exeter, R. I., in 1802, locating upon the farm now owned by Henry Hodges. Subsequently he bought the farm now owned by his brother Giles, where he resided until his death, in 181 1, leaving a large family. His son, John N., took the farm after his father's death, afterwards marrying Rosannah Spencer, by whom he had three sons. After her death he married Sallie Carr, who now resides with her son Thomas on the old homestead, Thomas having taken the farm after his father's death, which occurred March 20, 1881, at the advanced age of 91. James Wylie came to Clarendon from Connecticut, in 1777, locating on Otter Creek, upon the farm now owned by W. L. Wylie. His family con sisted of two sons and two daughters, William, Jacob, Sarah and Esther. After Mr. Wylie's death, in 1834, William took the old homestead, where he has resided since. The old house, built by James in 1791, is still occupied by the family. Obadiah Chapman, from Salisbury, Conn., came to Clarendon March 1, 1786, and moved into the house then owned by Silas Smith and now owned and occupied by Burr Chapman, a grandson of Obadiah. The house is in good repair though over a hundred years old. Mr. Chapman purchased a farm on road 1, and in 1786 built the house in which he lived and died; it stood just in front of Harvey Chapman's brick house. Obadiah's son, Joseph, succeeded him and died in 1859.

Increase Mosely was a judge of the Supreme Court in 1784, and president of the first council of censors in 1786. After the Revolution, among the returning settlers was Daniel Marsh, who it appears took protection papers from the British and sympathized with the enemy. On his return to Clarendon, Dec. 16, 1782, the town "voted to receive him as a good, wholesome inhabitant." He attempted to get posses sion of his old farm, a part of which he found occupied by Silas Whitney. A lawsuit followed in which Marsh was twice beaten. He then appealed to the Legislature, which passed an Act in June, 1785, giving him the possession of the farm " until he had an opportunity of recovering his betterments," for which Act the Legislature was severely censured by the first council of een- TOWN OF CLARENDON. 12 1 sors, of which Judge Increase Mosely, of Clarendon, was president. During the struggle between Marsh and Whitney for the possession of the disputed land, one party would put a tenant into the house, and the other party would put him out by force and put in another tenant, who in turn would be put out by force by the other party. On one occasion, Whitney, with several hands, mowed a large quantity of grass on the disputed meadow, and Marsh, obtain ing help, drew it all off, while Whitney was eating his dinner. This is but one instance of the many quarrels in which conflicting land titles involved the settlers of the fertile lands of Clarendon — so fertile that Whitney, visiting his relatives in Rhode Island, claimed that on the Clarendon intervales he could raise ears of corn ten feet long ; and in the following summer, when visited by his friends who wished to see his long corn, he was prepared to make good his boast, and showed them several ears over ten feet long, suspended from the ridge-pole of his corn barn, which he had made that length by joining and pinning short ears together. Previous to 1817, one Sheperson owned and run a blast furnace at West Clarendon, about two miles S. W. of Chippen Hook. Stoves were cast about that year. At what date the first school house was erected is not known. It was very early in the settlement, however, and as there was but little money in circula tion, teachers were paid in grain. The wood was furnished by assessing a certain number of feet to a scholar, to be delivered by lot. There were four school districts in West Clarendon in 1826, where there were but two in 187 1. The earliest records of " District No. 1, West Clarendon," say that at a school meeting held June 27, 1808, — "Voted to build a school-house, that it stand in the corner where the road that comes from Lewis Walker's interferes with the road that leads to the mill." " Voted that the property be paid for in grain by the first of June next." The first church erected in the town was of Baptist denomination, built about 1780, in the east part of the town, followed by another of the same de nomination in the west part of the town. Both these have years ago ceased to exist, and the buildings long since went to decay. The Congregational Church at Clarendon was organized February 18, 1822, by Rev. Henry Hunter and Rev. Stephen Martindale, Mr. Hunter be ing the first pastor, and was dismissed October, 1827. At the organization the Church consisted of ten members, which has increased up to the present time to sixty-nine. Has a flourishing Sabbath school, a young people's union and ladies' aid society for the study of sacred history and for benevolent pur poses. The building was originally built of brick in 1824. In 1859 it was thoroughly rebuilt, and finished very neatly inside, and is now capable of comfortably seating 250' persons. Rev. George H. Mors's is the present pastor. 122 TOWN OF DANBY. WfANBY is located in the extreme southern part of the County, in lat. 43° "fk^ 21' and long. 40° 1' east from Washington, and is bounded north by W Tinmouth and a small part of Wallingford, east by Mt. Tabor, south by Dorset in Bennington County, and west by Pawlet. It was granted to Jona than Willard and sixty-seven others from Nine Partners, Dutchess Co. N. Y, the charter bearing date Aug. 27, 1761, being issued one year after it was petitioned for by the above mentioned parties. In area it is a trifle over six miles square, or about 24,690 acres. The charter bears the usual restrictions and reservations incident to all the Wentworth charters, the tract being bounded therein as follows: — "Begin ning at the north-west corner of Dorset, from thence running due north six miles ; thence due east six miles ; thence due south six miles, to the north east corner of Dorset aforesaid ; and thence due west by Dorset aforesaid, six miles, to the north-west corner, which is also the south-east corner of Pawlet, and that the same be and is hereby incorporated into a township, by the name of Danby, and the inhabitants that do or shall hereafter inhabit the said township, are declared to be enfranchised with, and entitled to all and every the privileges and immunities that towns within our province by law exercise and enjoy." The bounds of the township have never been changed, remaining the same to-day that they were in 1761. The surface of the town is diversified by numerous hills and valleys, lend ing a charm to the scenery, at the same time affording superior advantages for all kinds of agricultural and pastoral pursuits. The rich valleys, clothed with waving grain, and the verdant hill-slopes affording pasturage for numer ous flocks, all being embellished and enriched by numerous springs and limpid streams, affording numerous mill-sites. With all these, is it to be wondered at that the Danbyites are a prosperous happy people ? Danby Mountain, sometimes called "Spruce," extends north and south through the entire length of the township, intersecting on the south with what is familiarly known as "Dorset Mountain." Another range of hills extends through the eastern half, thus dividing the town into three sections, designat ed as the east, west, and middle. A portion of Otter Creek valley is included within the limits of the town, east of which lie the Green Mountains. Of the numerous small streams the two principal are Mill River and Flower Brook. Mill River is formed by the junction of a large number of small streams, one of which rises in the extreme south-western part of the town ; it flows an easterly course through the township, emptying into Otter Creek, in the township of Mt. Tabor. Flower Brook rises in the north-western part of the town, flows a southerly course for about one mile, then turns westerly and empties into Pawlet River, in the town of Pawlet. A small pond or lake is situated in the center of the township, called Danby Pond, the outlet of which flows into Mill River. Otter Creek flows through a portion of the north-eastern part of the town, and the Bennington and Rutland Railway crosses the north-eastern corner. TOWN OF DANBY, Several mineral springs, noted for their medicinal qualities, are located in different parts of the town, the principal of which, discovered in ^869, is situated about two miles north of Danby borough. The principal part of the town is of the ALolian limestone formation, while the north-western and north-eastern part is of the talcoid schist. Several good marble deposits have been found, though none are worked to any great extent. Clay, suitable for brick manufacture is abundant, while plumbago and sulphuret of lead are found to some extent. The soil presents numerous varieties, from the finest alluvial deposit to clay, nearly all of which are susceptible of culti vation. The timber is that common to the surrounding towns. This is one of the best sugar producing towns in the county. In 1880, Danby had a population of 1,202. The township was divided into twelve school districts, contained thirteen common schools, employing five male and seventeen female teachers, at an aggre gate salary of $2,571.00. There were 258 pupils attending common schools, and the whole cost of the schools for the year ending October 30th, was $2,811.00, with J. C. Williams, Esq., superintendent. Danby, a post village and station on the Bennington and Rutland Railway, located in the eastern part of the township, is the largest village. It contains three stores, two tin shops, one grist mill, one saw mill, one hotel, one church, two blacksmith shops and about one hundred inhabitants. Danby Four Corners, (p. o.) located north-west of the borough, near the centre of the township, is a small hamlet containing one store, one cheese factory, one blacksmith shop and half-a-dozen dwellings. H. B. Jenkins' grist mill, located near Danby borough, is operated by both water and steam power, has two runs of stones and grinds 10,000 bushels of grain per annum. O. B. Hadwin' s grist mill, located at Danby borough, operates one run of stones, by water power, and grinds several thousand bushels of grain yearly. E. Kelley' s saw mill, located on road 40, is operated by water power, has one circular saw for cutting lumber, and two small saws for cutting shingles, lath, etc., and has also a planing mill attached. Mr. Kelley employs three hands, and manufactures 300,000 feet of lumber per annum. Parris Valley Cheese Factory, located in the western part of the township, was established in 1875 by L. G. Parris, and is still operated by him. He uses the milk from 200 cows and manufactures 2,000 pounds of cheese per week. Harris F. Otis is probably the most extensive sugar munufacturer m this section of the country. He taps over 3,000 trees per year. In 1880 he manufactured 1,500 gallons of maple syrup. The first proprietors meeting was held on the 24th day of September, 1760, at the house of Nathan Shepard, in Nine Partners, N. Y., when Jonathan Ormsby was appointed clerk. Samuel Rose was appointed agent 1 24 TOWN OF DANBY. to go to Albany and get what information he could relative to obtaining a grant in, the western part of the Province of New Hampshire. At a meeting held on the 15th of October following, Jonathan Willard was chosen agent to go to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and procure a charter. The request of the proprietors was granted, and on the 27th of August, 1761, as before stated, the charter was issued. Of the sixty-eight grantees, each one's share, according to the charter, was about 250 acres, although but few of the original proprietors ever settled within the township. The five hundred acres, re served in all charters for the Governor, was located upon the mountain in the south-western part of the township, and still bear the name of " Gover nor's Right." According to the directions of the charter, the proprietors of the township held their first meeting after the grant, at " Great Nine Partners, Cromelbow Precinct, Dutchess County," Sept. 22d, 1761, with Jonathan Willard as moder- rator. At this meeting Jonathan Ormsby was appointed clerk, Aaron Buck, treasurer, and Samuel Shepard, constable ; a committee composed of the following, was appointed " to set out from home the third Monday in October next, in order to proceed on business of making divisions of land, etc. :" Jonathan Willard, Jonathan Ormsby, Samuel Rose, Nehemiah Reynolds, Moses Kelly, Daniel Dunham and Stephen Videto. At the first annual meeting of the proprietors, held at Nine Partners on the second Tuesday of March, 1762, the number of this committee was reduced from seven to three, who were to finish laying out the lots. This committee was engaged during the summer of '62 in making the surveys, and on the 5th of October another meeting was held at the inn of Lewis Delavargue, to hear a report of their proceedings. This report showed that the work was not wholly completed, and would have to be delayed until another spring, when Darius Lobdel, Aaron Buck, Jonathan Palmer and Zephaniah Buck, were ap pointed to proceed at once and finish laying out the land. This committee finished the surveys of the first division during that summer (1763), and the lots were numbered, each share containing, as the proprietors had voted, 100 acres. On the 5th of Sept. 1763, the proprietors met at the house of Capt. Michael Hopkins, in Amenia Precinct, Dutchess County, N. Y., for the purpose of drawing their lots. This was performed by placing numbers in a hat, corre sponding to the numbers of the surveyed lots, and Abraham Finch and Daniel Shepard were appointed to draw for each proprietor's lot. Thomas Rowley was surveyor in the first division, who had been employed by the committee for that purpose. Each proprietor was to pay his share of the cost of survey ing, or forfeit his right. The drawing was all done fairly and gave general satisfaction. In the fall of 1763 or spring of 1764, a road, or rather bridle path, was laid out from Bennington to Danby, by Darius Lobdel and Samuel Rose, and the following summer was worked some, those who worked upon it being TOWN OF DANBY. I 25 paid in land. This was the same route now used as a highway, leading from Danby to West Dorset, across the mountain, and was for a long time the only road leading to the township, and accounts for this part of Danby being settled first. At the annual meeting on the second Tuesday of March, 1764, held in Amenia Precinct, N. Y., the proprietors agreed to donate land from the undivided portion of the township, to the person or persons who would make the first settlement. As yet no clearing had been made, and no attempts were made at settling until the following year, when during the summer, Joseph Soper, Joseph Earl, Crispin Bull, Luther Colvin and Micah Vail came to the township, forming the first settlement. Joseph Soper, from Nine Partners, came first, with his family. Joseph Earl, from Nine Partners, came next and commenced a clearing west of Soper, and was followed by Crispin Bull, from the same place. Luther Col vin and Micah Vail both came about the same time from Long Island. These five families constituted the entire population of the township in the spring of 1766, and were all active and useful men. Many of their descend ants are still living in the township. The first annual town-meeting of the inhabitants of Danby, was held at the house of Timothy Bull, on the 14th of March, 1769. At this meeting Timothy Bull was elected moderator; Thomas Rowley, town clerk; Stephen Calkins, Seth Cook and Crispin Bull, selectmen ; Daniel Vanolendo, consta ble ; Nathan Weller, treasurer ; Peter Irish, collector ; John Stafford, sur veyor ; Joseph Earl, Stephen Calkins and Seth Cook, committee to lay out highways. At a meeting, held Sept. 29, 1769, it was voted to lay out five roads in the township ; of these, the first was laid from the "notch" in the moun tains to Josejph Earl's, which was the first road buijt in town. Town-meeting continued to be held at the house of Timothy Bull until 1773, when it was held at the house of Mr. Williamson Bull, and from this time until 1779 they were held at the house of Micah Vail, as that part of the township was the most thickly settled, and was hence more convenient for most of the set tlers. Roads were increasing in number, so that in 1773 it required three surveyors, who were Stephen Calkins, Ephraim Seley and Philip Griffith. In 1786 they had increased so rapidly that it then required fourteen surveyors to locate lines. The census of 1800 shows the population of the town to have been four teen hundred and eighty-seven. At that time nearly every part of the town was settled, the farms cleared up and under cultivation. Three saw-mills had been built, and considerable progress made in the erection of framed houses. Roads had been built in nearly every direction ; two stores and three hotels were in operation. There were but two dwelling houses at Danby borough at that time, and one hotel, kept by Bradford Barnes, but it was very thickly settled along Otter Creek, north of the village. The central part of the town, in the vicinity of Danby Four Corners, and south from there, 126 TOWN OF DANBY. was at that time the most thickly settled. That portion of the township known as " Bromley Hollow," and " South America," had also become quite thickly settled, and the township was in a flourishing condition. For the first fifty years after its settlement the population of the township increased rapidly, and then from that time until 1850 there was a falling off in population, owing in a great measure to emigration ; but the building of the railroad in 1851 gave a new impetus to business, and its population rapidly increased. Danby borough soon became a thriving village, while business was nearly, ruined at the Corners. Captain John Burt was the first innkeeper in Danby, having kept a hotel on road 14, about the year 1775, which he kept for many years. The first tavern at the Corners was built by Elisha Brown, in the year 1800. The first store ever kept in town was in 1790, by Henry Frost, at or near the corner of roads 32 and 35. This store was in connection with the tavern. His successor was Jozaniah Barrett, who continued the business until about the year 18 10. Joseph Soper, the first settler of Danby, came from Nine Partners, N. Y. in 1765, and located in the south-eastern part of the township, two of his brothers settling in Dorset about the same time. His log house was the first erected in town, and for several months his was the only family in town. He came with two horses, bringing his family and effects upon their backs, and finding his way by means of marked trees. A few years after his settlement here, while on his way home from mill, at Manchester, a distance of fourteen miles, he was overtaken by a severe snow storm, in which, overcome by cold and exhaustion, he perished. His body was found the following day within one mile from his home. It was buried in a hollow log, on the spot where found, it being the first grave ever made in the township. • Joseph Earl, the second settler of the township, came from Nine Partners in 1765, locating near the spot now occupied by the residence of John Hil liard. He resided in Danby but a few years, having left during the Revolutionary war. He was a man of ability and bore a conspicuous part in organizing society. Crispin Bull, the third settler of Danby, came from Nine Partners in 1765, and commenced a settlement near the present homestead of John Hilliard. He at once took up a leading position, and was one of the first board of selectmen, elected in 1769. He also made the first clearing on the east side of the town, about the year 1772. He received from the proprietors sixty acres of land for sixty day's work building roads, which is now some of the best land in the township. He died in 1810, aged 70 years, having passed a long, laborious and industrious life. His wife, Mary Carpenter, died in 1833, aged 92 years. Luther Colvin came from Rhode Island to Danby in 1765. He was the fourth settler in the town, and found his way thither by means of marked trees. Luther Colvin, like, all the other settlers, brought with him a scanty" supply TOWN OF DANBY. 1 27 of household articles and furniture, and experienced much difficulty in pro curing the necessaries of life while making a settlement It was his custom to go to Manchester to mill and back the same day, carrying the grist upan his back. At one time, when grain was scarce, he carried the last bushel of wheat he possessed, which was to last for several months, or until harvest time came again. He was a hard working man, possessed of considerable ability, and occupied a prominent place in society. He is said to have brought the first stove into town, and to have built the second frame house. He became a Quaker, and joined the society. He died in 1829, aged about 90. His wife, Lydia Colvin, who died in 1814, was also quite advanced in years. Their children were as follows: Stephen, Caleb, John, Catharine, Lydia, Esther, Anna and Freelove. Captain Micah Vail, one of the original five settlers who came to Danby in 1765, was born in 1730, the seventh son of Moses Vail, of Huntington, Long Island, and of English descent. He was considered a very efficient man in town affairs, and exercised a great deal of influence among the people of his times. It may be truly said that he was one of the fathers of the town. He was the moderator of the annual town meetings of 1773 and 1774; was one of the board of selectmen in 1770, and again in 1775. He was associated with Allen, Warner and others, in defending the rights of the people during the struggle between New York and New Hampshire, being for several years a member of the committee of safety. He represented Danby in the conven tion which met at the house of Deacon Cephas Kent, in Dorset, in 1776, and which declared the New Hampshire grants a free and separate district. He and his wife both died of the measles in 1777, the same day, and were buried in the. same grave. They had a large family of children, some of whose de scendants are still residing in Danby. The children were as follows : Debo rah, Hannah, Louisa, Eunice, Moses, John, Phoebe, Lucretia, Edward and Micah. Lemuel Griffith, born in Massachusetts, in 1745, came to Danby in 1782, locating on the farm now owned by Michael Cunningham. He afterwards became a heavy landholder, owning at one time some six or seven farms, of several hundred acres. Mr. Griffith left numerous worthy descendants, many of whom became prominent citizens of the township. Some of them still re side in Danby, and others in different parts of the United States. He mar ried Elizabeth Potter, who died in 1805, aged 63. He died in 1818, aged 73. Their children were David, George, Thomas, Jonathan, Mary and John. George Sowle settled at an early date in Westport, Mass., where his son Henry was subsequently born. Henry had two sons, Wesson and Joseph. Wesson married Ruhama Robinson, of Westport, to whom was born a son James, in 1760. James, while still quite young, married Patience Macum- ber, and subsequently settled in Danby in April of 1792, locating upon the farm now owned by Albertus Warner, and occupied by James Sowle, Jr. The house was the first frame-house erected in this portion of the township, 128 TOWN OF DANBY. and is now over one hundred years old and still well preserved. The fire places, of which there are three, were built when the house was erected, and are now in a good state of preservation, and still used in place of stoves for warming the rooms. The house was first built as an inn, but the road was changed to the valley before the building was completed, so the hotel was never kept here. Elihu Benson came to Danby from Rhode Island, in 1798, and settled on the farm now owned by Jared L. Cook, a great grandson of Benson's. Mr. Benson married Huldah Brow and resided upon the old homestead until his death, in 1806. They had a family of ten children, seven boys and three girls. Their daughter Elizabeth married Stephen Cook, and resided upon the old farm about thirty-five years and then removed to Dorset, where her husband died in 1852. She then returned to Danby and has made it her home on the old farm until the present time. Ira Cook, father of Jared L., who now resides in Pawlet, was bom on this farm. He married Artemesia Lobdell, which union was blessed with one child (Jared L), she dying about 1850, when Ira subsequently married Rachel Herrick, and has one daughter. Jared L. married Lucy Colvin, and has two daughters. Oliver Harrington came to Danby previous to the Revolution, locating in the north-east part of the township, on the farm now owned by Benjamin Brown, where he resided until his death, at an advanced age. Andrew, son of Oliver, was born here, where he resided until his death. He married Lydia Miller, and had a family of seven children, three boys and four girls. Daniel Parris came to Danby from Williamstown, Mass., about the year 1785, locating in the western part of the town, buying a small farm, to which he kept adding from time to time, until he finally owned one thousand acres, upon which he resided until his death, leaving a large family of children. Many of his descendants still reside in the township. Edward Vail, son of Capt. Micah, was bom in Danby and resided there all his life, dying in 1841. He was colonel of militia, and a captain in the war of 181 2. Started for the battle of Plattsburgh, but did not proceed any farther than Whitehall, where he learned that the danger was over, and re turned. His son Edward was born in 1824, and has been a resident of Danby up to the present time. Harris Otis came to Danby from Mass. in the year 1794, locating upon the farm now owned by Harris F. Otis, son of William, and grandson of Harris. Harris was a physician and practiced in the township many years, and at the same time took a great interest in farming. He died in 1847, aged 72. William Otis was born on the old Otis homestead in 1807, and is still a resident of the township, a very popular man and ex-representative. ' Has had a family of nine children, three of whom, William F., Harris F. and Grant M., are residents of the township.

TOWN OF DANBY. 1 29 of Danby, then a vast wilderness, and settled on the south-western part of the farm now owned by A. D. Smith. The spot chosen by him was one of the most picturesque and beautiful in Vermont, overlooking as it does the broad valley of Otter Creek. Mr. Smith built a log house, then, after hard work, succeeded in cutting and burning over a space of twenty acres, and a year or two afterwards, planting a large field of com on a piece of ground where now stands a large sugar orchard. Mr. Smith continued to improve his farm until his death, which occurred at the age of 80 years. Nathan Smith next located on the homestead, and in 1799 he built the house in which his grandson now resides, which at that time was considered one of the best in town. Upon the door handle is stamped the date 1799, which is considered a valuable relic, being still kept in use. Daniel Smith succeeded to the homestead. He was an industrious farmer, a good citizen and greatly esteemed. He died in 1830, aged 36 years. And now the old homestead is in the possession of Augustus D. Smith, whose enterprise and ability has made the farm renowned throughout New England as one of the greatest fruit and sugar producing farms in Vermont. Mr. Smith married Charity S., daughter of William Herrick, the union be ing blessed by three children, Augustus N. W., who resides with his father and has charge of the farm, Charity V., also living with her parents, and Dan iel C, a resident of the town. A. D. has always been a public spirited man, and has held various town offices during a period of many years. For seven years he held the office of justice of the peace, was Supt. of common schools from 1857 to 1861, and has been president of the County Agricultural Society. The old homestead is the subject of the engraving on opposite page. The first Church society organized in the township was of Baptist denomi nation, organized in 1781, and the Rev. Hezekiah Eastman was the first set tled minister. The organization was kept up for some twenty years, and then began to decline. There is no organized society of this denomination at the present time. The first church was built in 1795, by a Methodist society, and stood west of the Corners, near the burial ground, and was torn down in 1822, after which time meeting was held in the brick school house. In 1838 the present Congregational church at Danby borough was erected by a union society, composed of Episcopal Methodists, Close Communion Baptists and Friends. The church south of the Corners was finished next, 1839. The society was composed of Methodists and Baptists. The church at the corners was com pleted about the year 1840. This was designed as a union church, and dedi cated as such, all the denominations being represented. The only society supporting a resident clergyman at the present time is the Congregational Church at Danby borough. This society was organized in 1869, by the Rev. Aldace Walker, D. D., having at its organization but twelve members, their first pastor being James P. Stone. They occupy the old church built in 1836, a comfortable structure capable of seating 225 per- -9; 130 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. sons. It cost about $2,300, but is now only valued at about $2,000, includ ing the entire church property. The society now has about twenty-three mem bers, with Lucean D. Mears as pastor. IHAIRHAVEN is located in the western part of Rutland County, in lat. ¦m! 43° 36', a.nd long. 3° 48' east from Washington; and is bounded north W by Benson, east by Castleton and a part of Poultney, south by Poult ney River, which separates it from Hampton, N.Y., and west by Westhaven. It originally comprised within its limits the towns of both Westhaven and Fairhaven, and was granted by the General Assembly of Vermont, convened at Manchester, on the 27th day of October, 1779, to Ebenezer Allen and 75 others. It was then a wilderness, and until after the close of the Revolu tionary war the territory was not improved to any great extent. Along the shore of the lake and the borders of the bay and rivers, there were a few settlements commenced, but mainly the township was the wilderness it was at the time the charter was issued. The surface consists of swells and vales, though there is nothing which deserves the name of mountain, but might perhaps, if the term is admissible, be called ranges of mountainous hills, extending principally in a north and south direction. Along the west line of the township extends a belt of talcoid schist about one mile in width, while the rocks east of this are composed entirely of the Georgia slate deposit, containing some of the finest and most lucrative slate quarries in the county. To these quarries, and to the manufacture of the slate taken therefrom, Fairhaven owes its principal wealth ; still, the verdant, picturesque vales, scattered plentifully over the township, present a large area of arable land that can scarcely be surpassed for productiveness, possessing a soil of great variety, consisting of gravel, sand and marl, and along the river valleys, alluvial deposits of rare fertility, and the whole is irrigated by numerous small streams issuing from the hill-tops, but the only ones of any considerable note are Poultney and Castleton Rivers. The former on ar riving at the west line of Poultney, begins to form the boundary line between Vermont and New York, and running between Fairhaven and Westhaven, on the north, and Hampton and Whitehall, N. Y., on the south, falls into the head of East Bay, an arm of Lake Champlain. From Fairhaven it receives Castleton River. In the year 1783 a most remarkable change took place in the course of Poultney River. A little above its junction with East Bay, a ridge of land crosses in a northerly direction. The river at this place running a north westerly course, on meeting the ridge, turned suddenly towards the northeast, and, after keeping that course about half a mile, curned westerly, rushing down a steep ledge of rocks, and forming a number • of fine mill-privileges. The river had, for some years, been observed to be making encroachments upon TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. 131 the ridge at the place where it turned to the northeast; and in May, 1783, during a violent freshet, the river broke through the ridge, and, meeting with no rocks, it cut a channel one hundred feet deep, lowering the bed of the river for some distance above, and carrying immense quantities of earth into East Bay. The bay, which was before navigable for vessels of 40 tons bur den, was so completely filled for several miles that a canoe could with diffi culty pass at low water ; but the obstructions have since been mostly removed by the force of the current On the north side of what is now known as the " Dry Falls," General Clark had commenced the erection of a saw-mill, which was of course rendered useless by the change of the stream. Numerous stories and traditions are told, claiming that the stream was diverted from its original course by human agency, and for the purpose of revenge on the above mentioned Clark ; but none of them are authentic, and have, we believe, no foundation in fact. Castleton River crosses the southern portion of the town and unites with Poultney River. In the north-east corner of the township is situated Glen Lake, a small, though handsome sheet of water, extending into Castleton on the east and Benson on the north. Inman Pond, located about three miles north of the village of Fairhaven, from which the village receives its water supply, is somewhat peculiar in its formation. It is located on the top of a hill, 207 feet above the village, cov ering an area of from 80 to 85 acres, fed entirely by springs, and has been sounded to the depth of 200 feet and no bottom found; which fact, taken to gether with the peculiar formation of its shores, and the volcanic rock found while making excavations for the water-pipes, have led many, and with reason, to believe it to be the crater of an extinct volcano. . The D. & H. C. Co's R. R. passes through the southern part of the town, with a station at the village of Fairhaven, affording good facilities for trans portation of the manufactures of the town. Although the present town of Fairhaven comprises but two-fifths of the original grant, its business interests and wealth is far in advance of the portion separated from it in 1792. It is not only an agricultural, quarrying and manufacturing district, but its hills afford pasturage for large herds of sheep and cattle, the products of which form no mean item in the aggregate wealth of the people. Formerly the inhabitants were devoted, to a considerable degree, to the manufacture of lumber ; but the steady stroke of the woodman's axe has so gradually but surely thinned the forests that lumbering is now of minor im portance. The timber consists of pine, hemlock, beech, maple, walnut, but ternut, button-wood etc. In 1880 Fairhaven had a population of 2,212; it was divided into five school districts, and contains ten common schools, employing two male and thirteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2,799.50. There were 479 pupils attending school, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending Oct. 30th, was $3,035.04, with Mr. Seth Thompson, superintendent. I32 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. Fairhaven, a post-village and station on the D. & H. C. Co's Railroad, is the only village of the townhip. It is beautifully situated in the southern part of the town, on Castleton River, at which place there are falls, two affording fine mill-privileges. The village contains two banks, several churches, num erous mercantile and manufacturing interests, and about 1800 inhabitants. Taken all in all, it is one of the most thriving as well as beautiful villages of its size to be found in the State. It was first laid out and established Dec. 21st, 1820, under a general law of the State, by Isaac Cutter, John P. Colburn and Harvey Church, selectmen of the town at that time. From this time until the fall of 1865 no action was taken by the citizens relative to a village government, farther than a formal survey ; but in the fall of the above mentioned year the Legislature of the State passed a charter, or Act of incor poration, erecting a tract of one square mile into a corporate village, and at a meeting held in the hall over Adams store, on the 4th of Dec. following, the inhabitants adopted the charter byavoteof 71 to, 52, and the village, has since, annually, at the meeting on the first Monday in December, elected its board of officers. By-laws were adopted on the 21st of February of the year following. In the centre of the village is a fine park, containing about six acres, sur rounded by a neat fence and filled with fine maple shade-trees. From this park the principal streets of the village diverge, and around it are situated some of the finest residences of the town ; the marble residence of Mr. Adams facing it from the south, being perhaps the most conspicuous. The land in cluded within the park was given to the town in October of 1798, by Col. Mathew Lyon, "for the friendship of the town of Fairhaven." In the spring of 1855 a "Park Association" was formed, the members paying one dollar annually for the purpose of planting trees in the park grounds. But few meetings were held, officers being last chosen in April of i860. Under the charter granted in 1865, the village corporation has full authority and power over the park, side-walks, streets, etc. One feature of the village, of which its inhabitants are justly proud, is its fine water-supply. At an adjourned village meeting, held on the 12th of Jan., 1880, the trustees were empowered to bond the village for $30,000.00, for the purpose of raising money to construct the water-works. On May 7th an ad ditional appropriation of $5,000.00 was made, and on the 1 2th of July work was commenced, thirty-five men being employed. Water is brought by means of large iron pipes, from Inmah Pond — located about three miles north of the village, a natural reservoir of pure, cold, spring-water, affording a head of 207 feet. The works were completed and tested on the 14th of December, giving entire sat isfaction, and having cost the village $37,147.35. On the 20th of the same month, tapping of the main water-pipes was commenced. On the 1 ith of De cember, a box containing seventy dynamite cartridges, stored in the engine- house of the works, near the pond, was accidentally exploded, causing a loss of several hundred dollars; fortunately there was no loss of life. Dwelling TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. 1 33 houses, situated three miles distant from the scene of the explosion, were quite severely shaken by the concussion. About eleven o'clock on the night of November 8th, 1879, the village was visited by a disastrous fire, which consumed the large hotel and block owned by C. C. Knight. The fire originated in a boot and shoe store kept by B. Merriam, and in spite of all efforts to the contrary, the building was entirely destroyed, causing a loss of about $30,000, mostly covered by insurance. Since that time the village has had no hotel. On the site of the old one Mr. Knight has erected a fine block, three stories high, having a front of 100 feet. The first floor is occupied by stores, the second by offices, and the third a hall for dramatic entertainments. The village has two fire companies, Fairhaven Hose Cos. No. 1 and No. 2. They use no engine, attaching the hose to the fire-hydrants, which throw a powerful stream, owing to the height of the reservoir, and affording one of the principal features of their excellent water-supply. The First National Bank of Fairhaven was organized in 1864, with a capital of $76,000. At a meeting of the directors held on the 18th of Feb ruary, Joseph Sheldon was chosen president, Merritt Clark, cashier, and Charles Clark, teller. The bank was opened in May, in a small building owned by Alonson Allen, on the south side of the park, where it was kept until February, 1870, when the new bank building, on the east side of the park being completed, the business of the bank was removed to its present place. The present building is substantially built of brick, iron and marble, two stories high, and has one of Lillie's best bank safes inside a heavy wrought iron vault, and is pronounced as secure as any bank vault in the State. The Allen National Bank of Fairhaven was organized April 2, 1879, with a capital of $50,000, the first meeting towards its organization having been held on the 18th of March preceeding. The first list of directors was as follows : —Ira C. Allen, Simeon Allen, Norman Peck, C. C. Knight, M. L. Lee, Owen Owens and Ellis Roberts. Ira C. Allen was chosen president, Simeon Allen, vice-president, and Charles R. Allen, cashier, they all still retaining their positions. The Fairhaven Machine Shops, owned by J. Adams & Son, and under the superintendence of L. B. Clagston, is ranked among the most extensive manufactories of the town. In 1871 Mr. Clagston came to Fairhaven from Boston, to keep their marble saw-mill in repair, and to make repairs for other saw-mills in the vicinity. In 1873 he invented the Clagston patent gang-saw. The superior excellence of this saw was immediately recognized by the various marble companies of Rutland County, and orders for the same began to come in rapidly, which necessitated increased facilities for the manufacture of the same. In 1878 he invented the Clagston Pet Stone-Turning Lathe, the manufacture of which occasioned still further extension of the shops. This invention was followed by patents on slate-saws in 1879 and '80. Taken altogether, they form a business that keep the works in operation almost night and day, and employs fifteen men. 134 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. Nathan R. Reed's saw-mill, located on Main street, was built about 75 years ago, Mr. Reed having come into possession in 1866, and manufactures 200,000 feet of lumber per annum. The Fairhaven Marble and Marbleized Slate Company was organized in 1869, though the business had been conducted during a period of ten years previous to this date by some members of the present firm. They now em ploy from 100 to 125 men, manufacturing as high as $140,000.00 worth of marble and marbleized mantels, shelves, tile, etc., per annum. R. C. Colburn commenced the manufacture of marbleized slate mantels in 1869, continuing until 1876, when the firm name was changed to The Stewart Marbleized Slate Mantel Company, with T. B. Stewart, president ; R. C. Col burn, treasurer. They employ about twenty men. Simeon Allen's slate-mill, located near the R. R. depot, was built by Mr. Allen in 1868. In 1875 it was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in less than 90 days. Mr. Allen manufactures all kinds of slate goods. The slate quarrying business was begun in this town by Alonson Allen and Caleb B. Ranney, in the fall of 1839, the first opening being made about i\ miles north of the village, on road 1, at a point called Scotch Hill. The present Scotch Hill Slate Quarry is owned and operated by Griffith, Owen & Co., who employ 30 men. Their mill, located at the quarries, saws and planes 200,000 feet of mantel stock, etc., per year. The Vermont Union Slate Company was organized in 1871, operating one quarry in Castleton and one in Poultney, employing about 45 men. The C. B. N. Slate Quarry, located in the north-west part of the town, on the farm of Rufus R. Hamilton, was opened in 1881, by John J.Williams, who commenced working the Scotch Hill quarry in 185 1, which he continued. to work until 1857, under the firm name of " The Fairhaven Slate Company," when the firm became insolvent, and a new firm started, Davey, Nichols & Co., who subsequently sold the property to a Boston firm, and they in turn selling to the present firm, Griffith, Owen & Co. Mr. Williams is the inven tor of the patent Slate Tile Roofing for flat roofs. He expects to manufac ture from the C. B. N. slate, mill and roofing stock, and more especially the tile roofing. The Carver's Falls Slate Quarry, located in the north-west part of the town, was opened in 1880, by Benjamin Williams, who quarries roofing and mill-stock. Edwin R. Bristol's wood- turning shop, located on road 11, was built in 1842. There was an old-fashioned saw-mill on the premises, built 70 years ago, and in 1878 Mr. Bristol put in a cireular-saw, and now manufactures there about 150,000 feet of lumber per year, and does quite an extensive business in wood-turning. Fairmount Trotting Park, located a little south of the village, on Prospect street, was built in 1874, and is now owned by Howard Leonard, Julius Bos worth and C. C. Knight. It has a half-mile track, pronounced by good judges to be one of the best in the State. TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. 1^5 Settlement was commenced the same year the charter was granted, to some extent, the following, with their families, having come into the town : John and William Meacham, Oliver Cleveland, and Joseph Ballard. Oliver Cleveland, the only one of the original settlers represented in the charter, located in the southern part of the township, having a farm consisting of 205 acres, lying between Poultney River and the east line of the township. He died in September 1803, and the property reverted to his sons, Josiah, Albert and James. William Meacham owned a farm south of Cleveland, but had his residence on the opposite side of the river, in New York. John Meacham settled north of Cleveland, coming from Williamstown, Mass., with his wife and three children. His fourth child, Esther Meacham, born April 23, 1780, was the first child born in the township. Mr. Meacham was one of the members of the first board of selectmen, chosen in August, 1783. He subsequently resided in Benson, where he died in 1808 or '09, aged 58 years. Joseph Ballard settled on the farm next west of Mr. Meacham's, upon which he died about 1795. There was scarcely anything done towards the improvement of the town until 1783, when Col. Mathew Lyon, Silas Safford and others moved into town, and the former commenced erecting mills. The first meeting of the proprietors to organize under the charter was held at the house of Nehemiah Hoit, at Castleton Corners, June 14, 1780, at which meeting Col. Ebenezer Allen was chosen moderator, and Capt. Isaac Clark, proprietors' clerk. Between this time and 1873 several meet ings were held, but the township was not organized until the 28th of August of this year, at which meeting, held at the house of Philip Priest, in Fair haven, Mr. Priest was chosen moderator, and Eleazer Dudley first town clerk. The first selectmen were Philip Priest, John Meacham and Henry Barlow. Col. Matthew Lyon settled where the village now stands, in the year 1783, and commenced to erect mills, having in operation at this point, previous to 1796, one furnace, two forges, one slitting mill, and one grist mill, and he did printing on paper manufactured by himself from basswood bark. Lyon came from Ireland when a boy, and was sold as an indentured apprentice until twenty-one years of age, to pay for his passage, the buyer paying for him a pair of steers and giving " boot money." He married a Miss Hosford, by whom he had four children, Anna, James, Pamelia and Laurin. She dying, he married, as a second wife, the widow Beulah Galusha, a daughter of Col. Thomas Chittenden, afterwards the first Governor of Vermont. He first resided near the north end of the bridge which crossed the river just above the grist mill, subsequently building and residing on the site of the old tavern-stand on the hill, and at a later period, on the site now occupied by the Knight block. I36 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. In 1796 Lyon was elected to Congress, taking his seat in November, 1797, and was subsequently imprisoned in the jail at Vergennes, under the "Alien and Sedition Laws," and was released by the friends of Thomas Jefferson paying his fine of $1,000.00, for which restitution was made to his heirs by Congress in 1833. In 1820 Lyon removed to Arkansas, where he died on the ist of August, 1822, near Little Rock. The paper mill in Fairhaven was built by Col. Lyon about 1790 or 1791. His son, James, had charge of it at one time, and they manufactured the paper generally used in this vicinity, both for writing and printing pur poses. The first grist mill was built by Col. Lyon and Ager Hawley in 1783, and was located on the south side of the river, below the old paper mill. The first saw mill was built by Lyon about 1783, and stood on the north side of the Lower Falls. The question of dividing the township into two towns seems to have been agitated by the early settlers a great deal, the point at issue being the sub ject of the dividing line ; but was finally settled by the Legislature on the 20th of October, 1792, though a number of the citizens in both parts of the town continued to protest against the division. The town of Westhaven took about three-fifths of the area of the original township, leaving to Fair haven the remaining two-fifths. The two towns were jointly to elect one representative to the General Assembly, which they continued to do until the annual election in 1823, when separate elections were held. Previous to this time, the annual freemen's meetings were held, sometimes at the school house near Mr. Minot's, in Westhaven, and at other times atthe school house near Mr. Stannard's, in Fairhaven, the people of both towns meeting together and having at times a good deal of sectional feeling in re gard to their affairs. Ethan Whipple came to Fairhaven from Rhode Island in 1786, settling about f of a mile north of the village, upon the farm now owned by John Al- lard, where he resided until the spring of 183 1, when he sold the place and removed to the village, where he died December 18, 1836, aged 79 years. Tilly Gilbert, from Brookfield, Mass., came to Fairhaven in the spring of 1788, where he remained until 1791, and then removed to Benson, and sub- quently to Orwell, returning to Fairhaven in 1799, where he became one of the most influential citizens of the township. In 1832 or '33 he removed to Westhaven, where he died Sept. 5, 1850, aged 79 years. Benjamin F. Gilbert, a son of Tilly, is now a resident of Fairhaven. Joseph Sheldon came from Dorset to Fairhaven in 1798, locating in the north part of the town, upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Leander H. His son Harmon was born in 1804, and continued his residence here until his death, Aug. 29, 1874. Harmon married Angeline Maynard, and had two sons, Leander H. and Joseph K, both of whom are now living. Capt. Joseph Sheldon, brother to Harmon, and for many years a noted breeder of TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. I37 merino sheep, lived where Heman Stannard now resides, and died July 16, 1872. Barnabas Ellis came to Fairhaven from Hampton, N. Y., in the spring of 1814. He was a leading and influential citizen, and died, much lamented, May 9, i860. Zenas C, son of Barnabas, was born July 25, 1820, and has always re sided in the town, and now owns and occupies the old homestead, about one-half mile south of the village. He married Sarah B. Dyer, of Rutland, in 1847, and has four sons, George W., Edward D., Horace B. and Zenas H. George is an attorney in New York city, Edward is a physician, practicing in Poultney, Horace B. is at Castleton, proprietor of the Bomoseen House, and Zenas lives at home with his father. Stephen Fish came to Fairhaven from Uxbridge, Mass., in 1810, and located about two and one-half miles north of the village. He married Chloe Narramore and had a family of seven children, two of whom are now living, one, Mrs. Rebecca P. Whipple, a resident of this town. He died in Westhaven on the 3d of December, 1849. Charles Wood came to Fairhaven from Hartland, Vt., in 1815, residing here until his death, February 4, 1832. His son, Chauncey E., now occupies the old homestead. Samuel Wood came about the same year, from Hartland, and now resides with his son, Nelson S., on road 16. Hiram Hamilton, successor to Joel, one of the early settlers, came to Fairhaven in 1823, where he now resides, on road 6. Hiram Briggs was born in Castleton, Vt., in 1806, and came to Fairhaven in 1828, locating on road 3, where he died in 1872, his widow, Susanna, still occupying the premises. Joseph Adams settled in Fairhaven, from Whitehall, N. Y., and was for a long time one of the first merchants and manufacturers of the place. His son, Andrew N. Adams, was born January 6, 1830, and graduated at Cambridge Divinity School, in Harvard University, July 17, 1855, but only preached for a short time, coming to Fairhaven in the summer of i860, where he has since been extensively engaged in marble and slate manufacture. Alonson Allen came to Fairhaven, from Hartford, N. Y, in March, 1836, and was for many years prominent in mercantile and manufacturing circles, taking an active interest in the development of the marble and slate business of the town. His widow, Mrs. Mary Allen, now resides in South Park place. Ira C. Allen, president of the Allen National Bank, was born in Bristol Vt, in 1816, and came to Fairhaven in May, 1836, married Mary E. Richardson, a niece of Joseph Adams, and has four children. He is a prominent man of the town. The First Congregational Church was organized January 2, 1806, having at its organization. only fifteen members; Rufus Cushman, the first pastor, was installed on the 12th of February, 1807. The church building was 138 TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. erected in 18 10, and is at present, including grounds, valued at $5,000, and will comfortably seat 250 persons. The present membership of the society numbers 102, with Rufus C. Flagg, pastor. The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Fairhaven village, was organ ized by Rev. Albert Chapin, in 1825. The first church edifice was erected in 1843, which was followed by the present building, erected in 1877, at a cost of $15,000, which will comfortably seat 500 persons; the church property is now valued at $16,000. The society at present numbers 200 members with Rev. Delmer R. Lowell, pastor. St. Mary of the Seven Dolors, (Catholic,) located on Washington street, was organized by Rev. Z. Druon, in 1855, having at its organization 100 members. The church edifice was erected in 1873, at a cost of $40,000, and is capable of seating 1,000 persons ; the whole property being now valued at $50,000. The society has 700 members, is in a flourishing condition, with Rev. P. J. O'Carroll, pastor. The Welsh Protestant Society of Fairhaven was organized in the summer of 1 85 1, by Rev. Evan Griffiths, of Utica, and Rev. Thomas R. Jones, of Rome, N. Y. Rev. Griffith Jones was the first pastor. A good brick church, on the east side of Main street, was erected by the society in 1857, costing about $3,500. The society has at present no pastor. The Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Society was formed by a portion of the members from the Protestant Society, who organized in 1859, and built a small edifice on the opposite side of the street. The society has no pastor at present. The First Baptist Church of Fairhaven was organized by 29 Baptist brethren on December 14, 1867, their first pastor being Rev. P. Franklin Jones. The building was commenced in 1870, and completed in 1873, costing about $24,000, and will accommodate 475 persons with seating room. The society at present has 145 members, with Rev. A. C. Ferguson, pastor. |||l|UBBARDTON lies in the north-western part of the county, in lat. 430 "fjif8 43' and long. 3° 50' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Y Sudbury, east by Pittsford, south by Castleton, and west by Benson. It was chartered June 15, 1764, by Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, to Thomas Hubbard and others. From Mr. Hubbard the town ship takes its name. The towns in the southern part of the State being sur veyed first, and most of them surveyed larger than the charter bounds, several towns in this vicinity were consequently contracted to less than their charter limits. Thus, Hubbardton, although it was chartered as a full township, and to contain 23,040 acres, with the usual reservations, by consequence of prior charters and surveys, some of the north part was held by Sudbury, and a gore on the east by Pittsford, so that it now contains but about 18,000 acres. This was also the case with several other towns in this vicinity, there having TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. 1 39 s been one whole township chartered by the name of Dunbar, entirely run out, there being no place left to locate it. The surface is hilly and broken, and towards the east, mountainous ; but in the valleys and lowlands there are many excellent farms, and on the hills graze large flocks of cattle and sheep, which form the principal wealth of the people. The country is well watered by numerous streams, lakes and ponds, which lend a pleasing diversity to the landscape. The streams, however, are all quite small, though the water is clear and limpid. Lake Bomoseen extends from Castleton, north, to nearly the centre of the township. Of the ponds there are about twelve distributed over the surface of the town, Horton Pond, in the north-western part, lying partly in Sudbury, being the largest. Bebee Pond, in the northern part of the town, is about one mile in length. Of the minor ones there are, Half Moon in the south-west part of the township, Keeler Pond in the northern, and Marsh, Austin and Black, in the central part. The principal rocks are quartz and slate. Of the latter, large quantities, suitable for roofing, and some suitable for pencils, have been found. Black lead has been found in small quantities inlaid in the rocks. Lead has also been found in small quantities, which contained some silver. Whetstones of a very superior quality have also been considerably wrought. The greatest curiosity in the geological department is a course of rocks which cross the town in an east and westerly direction, different from any other rock found in its vicinity. It is in detached blocks, resembling rock ore in shape and appearance, only it is not as heavy or dark colored. The earth in which it is embedded is reddish, and has the appearance of burnt earth. In many places it crosses ledges of other rock, overlying them and detached from them ; in others it seems to have cut its way in a straight path, six or eight feet wide, and not uniting with any other rock. It appears to have been broken up into different shapes and sizes, and some blocks are full of holes, while others show white spots where they are broken. It is easy to break, and breaks in very straight lines. The color on the inside is bluish. The numerous ponds abounding with fish must have made Hub bardton one of the favorite haunts of the red man. A short distance from the north-west corner of the town, there are found relics of an old Indian camp — arrow heads, &c. Near Marsh Pond there is a large circular mound, some six rods in diameter, composed of gravel, and apparently of artificial formation. This possibly may have been constructed by tribes who had wandered east from the " Mound Builders " of the west. There is also found near here a swamp in which are embedded large sound pine logs and stumps, directly under others of a larger growth, many feet deep in the earth. The soil, once covered with a rich vegetable mould, produced the finest wheat; but owing to the. decrease of vegetable deposits annually, as the forests become thinner, it has become more sterile, and is now better adapted to pasturage than tillage, and, as before remarked, the inhabitants devote their 140 TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. principal attention to sheep husbandry, forming the principal source of their wealth. The timber is beech, birch and maple, interspersed with pine, hem lock and cedar. The sturdy woodman, however, has gradually shorn the forests of their grandeur, so there now remains but a comparative remnant of the original wilderness. Hubbardton steadily increased in population from the time of the first settlements to the year 1820, when it numbered 810; since which time it has steadily declined, while it has increased in wealth. In 1880, it had a population of 533, was divided into nine school districts and had eight common schools, employing four male and eight female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $793.00. There were 142 scholars attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year was $883.74. Zebulon Jones was superintendent. Hubbardton (p. o.) is a small hamlet, located near the center of the town, at the head of Lake Bomoseen. It contains one saw mill, one black smith shop, one basket factory and about twelve dwellings. East Hubbardton (p. o.) is a small hamlet, located in a beautiful ravine in the south-eastern part of the township, near Mount Zion. It contains one church and eight dwellings. The Hubbardton Battle Monument is also located here, upon a rise of ground just above the place. It was erected by the inhabitants in commemoration of the battle of Hubbardton. Hortonville (p. o.) is another small hamlet, located in the north-west corner of the town. It contains one store, one grist mill, one saw mill, one butter-tub factory, cider mill, blacksmith shop, about fifteen dwellings and seventy inhabitants. It has several very beautiful residences, one of which is Cyrus Jennings', a very influential citizen of the town. The Vermont Soapstone Pencil Company have opened a quarry on the farm of M..M. Dickinson, where they expect to manufacture 30,000 slate pencils per day. The slate is said to be of most excellent quality for this purpose. Hubbard Saw Mill, located on road 15, upon the site of S. B. Walker's grist mill and clothing factory, was built in the year 1827. It has the capacity for sawing about 2,000 feet of lumber per day. It has also con nected with it a cider mill. The first settlement of Hubbardton was commenced in the spring of 1774, by Uriah Hickok and William Trowbridge, with their families from Norfolk' Conn. In 1775, Samuel Churchill, William Spaulding, Abdial Webster, Benjamin Hickok, Jesse Churchill, Benajah Boardman and John Seleck moved their families here. The dwellings, as was common with all the early settlers of the country, were built of logs ; some of the houses were hewed inside and some were not ; the floors were mostly made of split logs, hewed on one side. Their chimneys were made large ; high in the chimney was a pole laid crosswise to hang the trammel on. Each chimney had one or two long iron trammels to hang the porridge-pot and dish-kettle on. The windows were of grained sheep-skin, or greased paper. After TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. 141 awhile their log-houses began to decay. Saw mills coming into use, they began to build frame houses, generally of one story, with a chimney in the middle ten or twelve feet square, with three fire-places and an oven. The kitchen fire-place was a large one, with a heavy iron crane, with hooks to hang the pots and kettles upon; this crane was quite a convenience, for it swung out into the room. The first frame building was built by Samuel Churchill, in the year 1785. The lumber was drawn 12^ miles on an ox-sled, the nails being picked up at Ticonderoga Fort after it was burned. The town was organized and the first town meeting held the first- Tues day in March, 1785. The first Tuesday of the following month, the first meeting to organize a militia company was held, at which I. Gregory was chosen Capt, David Hickok, Lieut., and Silas Churchill, Ensign. Elizabeth, daughter of Uriah and ¦ — — Hickok, was born August 1, 1774, and died in September, 1776. This was the first birth and first death in the town. James Whelpley settled in Hubbardtonin 1787. He was a Revolutionary soldier, having served all through the war. Mr. Whelpley represented the town in the Legislature a number of years, was supervisor of the county a long time, and served the town as justice of the peace until obliged to give up the office on acccount of age and infirmity. In his day Mr. Whelpley was a great hunter, and killed many deer, wolves, bears, foxes and wild-cats. He outlived all of his children, and died at the advanced age of ninety years. David Barber, and his wife, Sarah Lawrence, started from West Linesburg, Conn., to settle in Castleton, in the year 1783. On the journey, David was taken very suddenly ill and died. Mrs. Barber and the children continued the journey to Castleton, where she subsequently married Wm. Dyer, of that place. Her son, David H. Barber, born in 1770, went to reside with his uncle, Bigelow Lawrence, of Hubbardton, in 1784, and afterwards married Clarissa Whelpley, by whom he had several children. Mr. Barber died at an advanced age, loved and respected by all. A number of his descendants still reside in the town. Rufus Root, grandfather of Seneca Root now a resident of East Hub bardton, was a soldier in 1777, serving under Gen. Stark when only 14 years of age. Three days after the battle of Hubbardton, he came through the town as one of a scouting party to pick up the stragglers and wounded. On the 24th of June, 1828, he visited the battle fields in company with his grand son, Seneca. Nine years after this visit, in 1837, Seneca moved to the town, settling in East Hubbardton, on the farm now owned by Calvin Brothers, and married the daughter of Thomas Ketchum, of Sudbury. Mr. Root is one of the most enterprising men of the town. He was mainly instrumental in secur ing a post-office at East Hubbardton, and was the first post-master, which office he held for fifteen years. Christopher Bresee settled on the farm now owned by A. Walsh, at an early date, where he resided 24 years, and then removed to the farm now owned 142 TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. by his son, Albert Bresee. Albert was the originator of the famous "Early Rose potato." He has a very fine residence, with beautiful grounds. Joseph Churchill came to Hubbardton in 1783. Hewasthe father of twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, all of whom lived to be men and women, and there was not a death in the family until most of them were set tled in the world. The youngest that died was twenty-four years old. His fourth son was killed by the Indians on the last day of the year 1 813, at Black Rock. Mr. Churchill was much employed as an agent by the settlers in their land troubles. He served as justice of the peace and selectman many years. He died of a cancer, March 21, 1821, aged 71. Timothy St. John came to Hubbardton in the year 1785, settling on the farm now owned by his son, Reuben. He built the first frame barn, which now stands in a state of good preservation. His sons, Reuben and Ezekiel still occupy the old homestead. Frederic Dikeman, a native of Reading, Conn., was born August 26, 1760 served through the war of the Revolution, and removed to Hubbardton in 1796, locating upon the farm now owned and occupied by his grandson Myron M. Dikeman. Samuel Parsons was bom in Reading, Conn., December 15, 1765 and moved to Hubbardton in the year 1787, and soon after married Esther Sellock and settled on the farm now known as the Parsons Hamlet. He died May 27, 1846, aged 79. His wife, Esther, died February 21, 1848. Rufus Wilmot Griswold, the well known compiler of American literature spent the greater part of his boyhood in Hubbardton. Mr. Griswold pos sessed an active mind, but somewhat erratic in its operations. About 1837 he published a paper in Vergennes for a short time ; but soon went to New York, where he associated himself with Horace Greeley in editing the New Yorker. He afterward became connected with several eminent journals ¦ and in 1842 and '43 with Graham's Magazine. He shortly afterward established his reputation as a man of letters, by publishing his " Poets and Poetry of America," and afterwards his " Prose Writers of America." His writings were widely diffused, through the periodicals of the day. At one time he was connected with the poet Edgar A. Poe in the publication of a magazine. After Mr. Poe's death he wrote a memoir of his life and criticism on his works. In this he handled Mr. Poe so roughly that he was censured, and perhaps justly, by many. The latter days of Mr. Griswold were not happy. Worn with study and toil, unfortunate in his domestic relations, he passed from youth to a premature old age. In the summer of 1857 he perceived that his life was drawing to an end, and sought the humble and perhaps al most forgotten home of his youth to die, but which he never reached ; having proceeded as far as Cambridge, it was deemed advisable to return to New York city, where he died soon after, in the 43d year of his age. The Battle of Hubbardton has already been spoken of in connection with the County chapter (see page 58), but it may be well to give it a passing TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. M3 glance- Col. Warner, the brave commander of the little band of eight hun dred, was born in Roxbury, Conn., May 17, i743> and died at the same place, Dec. 26, 1784, at the age of 41. Ticonderoga was abandoned by the Ameri cans on the morning of July 6, 1777. Their baggage and stores were packed on board 200 batteaux, and despatched to Skeenesborough (Whitehall), N. Y., while the main body of the army proceeded by land on the route through Hubbardton and Castleton. At Hubbardton they were attacked on the morning of the 7th by the British light troops under Gen. Fraser, who were in eager pursuit. We will not give another description of the battle here, as the events and result of the brief yet fierce and bloody conflict have already been described. After the battle, Warner, with his usual perseverance and intrep idity, collected his scattered troops, some of which had gone to Fort Edward, to which place St. Clair had retired with the army. • At the Battle of Bennington, in August following, where the " Green Moun tain Boys " so nobly retrieved their lost fortunes, Col. Warner was one of the chief officers of Gen. Stark, and was one of the General's principal advisers in arranging the plans of that battle, which resulted so advantageously to the cause of the Americans. At the time of the battle of Hubbardton there were but nine families in the town, all of whom fled to escape the danger. Upou their return to their homes after the battle, they found the bones of those who fell still lying upon the field of battle, bleaching in the sun ; gathering them up, they were all buried in one grave, where for 82 years it remained unmarked and -nearly forgotten, until "on Thursday, July 7, 1859, a monument of marble, 21 feet in height was reared by the citizens, to mark the spot. On the east side of the base of the monument is the following inscription : — " Hubbardton Battle fought on this ground, July 7, 1777. [North Side] Col. Warner Commanded. Col. Francis Killed. Col. Hale Captured. The Green Mountain Boys fought bravely. [South Side.J This Monument Erected by the Citizens of Hubbardton and Vicinity. [West Side.J The only Battle Fought in Vermont During the Revolution." (Hubbardton Battle Monument.) In the spring of 1786 a school-house was built, and here the Word of God 144 TOWN OF IRA. was preached until December 1787, when the people turned out and built a log meeting-house, at. what is now East Hubbardton. It was large, well sup plied with benches, and seats on the sides for the singers. At one end was a platform and a sort of desk for the preacher, while at the other end was a wide stone back for a fire-place, with a large chimney above, built of split sticks well plastered. This was the first church in the town. On the site of this church there was erected, in the year 1800, another building, known as The Hubbardton Baptist Church, with Elder Nathan Dana as pastor. Mr. Dana was the first settled minister in the town, and received the ministerial land. At its organization the Church had but twelve members, which has since increased to twenty-six, and is under the present pastorate of Rev. Zebulon Jones. The building is a comfortable structure, capable of seating about 200 persons, and is valued at $1,200. Hubbardton First Congregational Church, located near the centre of the township, on the turnpike leading from Brandon to Castleton, was organized by the Rev. Eleazer Harwood in November 1784. The first house of worship was erected in 1818, followed by the present one in 1838, which is a comfort able structure, capable of seating 200 persons. At the organization of the Church there were but eleven members, with Rev. Ithamer Hibbard as pastor. The membership has since increased to forty-two. The late lamented pastor John C. Edgar, who died April 29th, 1881, was of Scotch descent, and en listed in the English army as a drummer boy when he was but twelve years of age, and was one of the famous Light Brigade who, — "Came from the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six-hundred." He was but sixteen years of age when he returned from this grand charge, where the British light cavalry of 600, in the Crimea, at the battle of Balaklava, all but about 150 were killed. He was a graduate of Andover Theological Seminary, and possessed of superior ability. Although he was pastor of the Church but two years, he leaves, in the hearts of all who knew him, feelings of the fondest regret. |||RA is a triangular tract of land, about three miles in width at its broadest ftp part, and eight in length, located in the central part of the county, in fJP lat. 430 33', and long. 3° 55' east from Washington, and is bounded east by Pittsford, Rutland and Clarendon ; south by Tinmouth, south-west by Middleton, and west by Poultney and Castleton. A part of the township of Ira was taken to form the town of Middletown, Oct. 28, 1784, and again, by an Act of the Legislature in the year 1854, a portion of the township of Clarendon was annexed to Ira. Aside from these changes the town retains its original boundaries. Ira is supposed to have been chartered by Benning Wentworth about the year 1761. The original charter was in the Capitol at Montpelier at the TOWN OF IRA, 145 time the Capitol burned, and was probably destroyed. The town was or ganized May 31, 1779, with Isaac Clark as first town clerk, who was at the same meeting chosen to represent the town in the Legislature. A large portion of the township lies upon the Taconic range of mountains, whose lofty, sterile peaks frown down upon but little good farming land. Many parts of the town, indeed, are incapable either of cultivation or settle ment. Inhere are, however, in some of the mountain valleys, and along the basin of Ira Brook, many excellent farms, and the hills are here covered with flocks of sheep, from which the town probably derives its principal wealth. Herrick Mountain, situated in the central part of the town, is the highest peak, being 2,661 feet above tide water. Bird Mountain, located a little to the north-west of Herrick Mountain, and about eight miles from Rutland village, is one of the most northern peaks of the Taconic range. Its eleva tion is about 2,500 feet above tide water, and is rendered of peculiar interest to geologists, as it is composed almost entirely of quartz conglomerate, a mass of small quartz pebbles about the size of kernels of corn, cemented together. At all points on the mountain — except the north-east — the sides are so precipitous as to render its ascent nearly or quite impossible. The territory is watered by several streams, but they contain few «good mill privileges ; hence it is that Ira is not engaged in the manufacture of lumber to as great an extent as her forests would admit had nature been more liberal in this respect. Ira Brook, the principal stream, rises in the southern part of the town, flows a north-easterly course and joins Tinmouth River in Clarendon. Castleton River crosses the northern part of the town, flowing a westerly course. The township is also crossed here by the Rutland & Washington Railroad. The timber is that peculiar to mountain districts, — namely, beech, birch, maple and hemlock, with some pine and ash. In some sections maple abounds to a great extent, from which is manufactured large quantities of sugar. In 1880 Ira had a population of 479, was divided into five school districts and contained five common schools, employing two male and nine female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $756.50. There were 123 pupils attending common schools, and the total cost of the schools for the year was $794.01. Simon L. Peck was superintendent. Ira, (p. o.) a small hamlet, located in the eastern part of the town, is the only settlement of any extent, and contains a church, one blacksmith shop, a town hall and several dwellings. Limestone is found in some parts of the town, from which is made a very good quality of lime. The lime-kiln of A. £. cV S. W. Day, located on road 9, manufactures about 2,000 barrels per annum. Smith Johnson's saw mill, located in the north part of the town, manu factures 75,000 feet of lumber per year. Lincoln &> Day's saw mill, located at Ira, on Ira Brook, manufactures 1,000 feet of lumber per day. 146 TOWN OF IRA. Among the first settlers of Ira are found the names of Sherman, Collins Carpenter and Lee. Just at what date they settled in the town is, so far as we can learn, not known, but it was probably about the year 1770. The Lees settled in that portion of the town called "Ira Hollow," which contains some of the most fertile land in the town. Here the Lee family had 324 acres of land, and quite a portion of it under cultivation. Lee, however became a tory and sympathized with his mother country. For this he had to suffer the penalty ; accordingly, on the 24th of February, 1779, h>s farm was confiscated and he was obliged to leave the town under penalty of the " beech seal." His farm was sold for one hundred pounds, to Thomas Collins, of Lanesborough, Mass. The first marriage recorded in the town was that of Isaac Clark and Hannah, daughter of Gov. Chittenden, the ceremony being performed by the Governor, on the 5th of September, 1779. The first birth was Olive, daughter of George and Olive Sherman, Sept. 5, 1773. The first death recorded is that of Hannah Baker, daughter of John Baker, on the 24th of February, 1785. Preserved Fish came to Ira from Berkshire, Mass., in 1790, and was married the following year to Abigail Carpenter, by whom he had twelve children ; she outliving him about two years and six months. Mr. Fish, when he first came to the town, worked at the mason trade. He held different offices in the town for many years, was a magistrate for over forty years, town clerk two years, represented the town thirteen years, and was foreman of the grand jury so often that the boys of Rutland had for a by-word " a true bill, P. Fish, foreman." Mr. Fish died October 10, 1849, in his 79th year. Bradley Fish, a grandson of Preserved Fish, is still a resident of Ira. He has represented his district twelve years, i860 to 1873, and was associate judge in 1870, '71 and '72. There are numerous other representatives of the family in town. Abijah Ellis, whose father was one of the early inhabitants of Pittsford, came to Ira in 1850, and has since held several offices of trust in the town ship. Justus Collins came to Ira among the early settlers, locating about one mile south of Ira hamlet, where he died at an advanced age. His son Harry now owns and occupies the old homestead, where he is extensively engaged in breeding blooded stock. Caleb Williams came to this town at an early date, residing here until his death, in 1872. His son, Cornelius, is still a resident of the town. Cephas Carpenter settled upon the farm now owned by Capt. Enos Fish, and was followed a few years after by his brother, Wilson, who settled in the south part of the town, where he resided until his death in 1855, at the age of 88. He had a family of eleven children. Captain Enos C. Fish was born herein 1809, and has never been absent from the town four consecutive weeks during his life. TOWN OF IRA. H7 Peter Parker came to Ira about 1790. Mr. Parker was rather an eccentric individual, of whom there is extant many humorous anecdotes. He was a great story-teller and doted on his courage as a fighter. A short time after he came to Ira, a few roguish boys, one night, learning that Peter would pass through the woods to the north part of the town, a little east of Bird Moun tain, got some clothes and stuffed them with straw, so as to resemble a human being, and attached it to a tree over the road, in such a manner as to move it back and forth. Peter approached the object in war-like array, with fists drawn, and addressed it as follows : — " Who are you, God, man, or the devil ? " and drew his fist and knocked it down, emptied out the straw, and carried off the clothes, which he needed. He left Ira about 1830, going to Hampton, Washington County, N. Y., where he subsequently died at an advanced age. Daniel Giddings, one of the earliest settlers, planted, the first year he was in the town, a half acre of corn. In this corn-field he killed thirteen bears. During the war of 1812, six minute men volunteered from Ira. At the time of the battle of Plattsburgh, the news came to Ira by a despatch to Preserved Fish, to start at once to West Clarendon and notify the people there. This Mr. Fish did, and upon the arrival of the despatch, the people were at meeting, but the meeting was immediately broken up and cooking commenced, so that early the next morning, Monday, a company started, pro visioned, for Plattsburgh. Preserved Fish at this time offered five dollars ex tra per month, from his own pocket, to each man who would volunteer. During the war of 1861 and '65 Ira furnished the following three years' men : — Silas Giddings, Edward Haley, John Hunter, Joseph W. Parker, Aaron Savory, Cornelius Curtis, Thomas Long, Henry Tower, Henry Peters, Levi Plumly, Wm. H. Walker, James Fuller, Henry Davis, Charles W. Peck, Harrison Peck, Collamer Persons, Rollin Russell, Sylvanus Wet- more, Manser Young, John Batchelder, Benjamin Mann, Wm. Hogle. One year's men : — James Fox, H. H. Wheeler, Henry Flagg. Nine months' men: — L. C. Parker, Charles Pateman, George Brown, Gilbert Hanly, Aaron Hinckly, Arthur Morgan, Cyrus Russell, Emmet M. Tower, James C. Wetmore, John Boar, Henry C. Tower. Three months' men : — Albert Fish and George Lincoln. The town clerks of Ira have been as follows: — Isaac Clark, May 31st, 1779; Joseph Wood, March 30th, 1780; George Sherman, March 15th, 1781 ; John Baker, March 24th, 1788 ; Cephas Carpenter, March 8th, 1792; George Sherman, March, r8oi ; Cephas Carpenter, March, 1802 ; Preserved Fish, March 2d, 1819 ; John Mason, March 7th, 1820; Preserved Fish, March ist, 1821 ; John Mason, March nth, 1823; Bradley Fish, June 4th, 1861. Mr. Fish has since that time filled the office. Cephas Carpenter held the office 25 years, and John Mason 39 years. The Baptist Church, located at Ira, was organized in 1783, by the Rev. Thomas Skeels, who was their first pastor. What the membership was at its organization is not known, but it at present has 106 members, although they 148 TOWN OF MENDON. have no regular pastor. The church building was erected in 1852, at a cost of about $2,000. The building committee was Leonard Morse, Bradley Fish and John Morse. The building will comfortably accommodate about three hundred persons, and is valued, including grounds, at about $2,000. ^MkENDON is located near the centre of the eastern part of the county, "^ppr4 in lat. 430 37' and Ion. 40 10', east from Washington, and is bounded fly north by Chittenden, east by Sherburne, south by Shrewsbury, and west by Rutland. The township was chartered under the name of Medway, by Gov. Thomas Chittenden, February 25th, 1781, to Hon. Joseph Bowker and thirty-four associates, and then contained 8,890 acres. November 7th, 1804, a portion of land called " Parker's Gore " was annexed and the name of Medway changed to Parkerstown. Parker's Gore was a tract of land bought of the county by Jonathan Parker, of Rutland, in 1 804. This tract was to have been sold to the highest bidder by the high sheriff of the county, which office was then held by Abraham Ives, of Wallingford. On the day advertised for the sale to take place, Ives opened the sale at 12 o'clock at night, in the interest of certain Rutland men. Parker therefore bought the land at a nominal value, making the sale of advantage to said sheriff. For this crookedness Ives was obliged to resign his office and leave the State to evade prosecution. The township retained the name of Parkerstown until November 6th, 1827, when it was changed to the present one of Mendon. The town was organized March n, 1806, and the first town meeting held on this day at the residence of Johnson Richardson, the first justice of the peace. At this meeting Darius Shipman was chosen moderator ; John Page, town clerk, and Benjamin Farmer, Johnson Richardson and Daniel Bradish, selectmen. The selectmen were also appointed a committee to receive a deed of Jonathan Parker for a certain mill-privilege for the use of the town. Mendon lies mostly on the Green Moun tains, and the surface is very broken and un even. Much of the land is high and cold, being unfit for settlement or cultivation. There is some good farming-land, however, especi ally along its western border, and much good grazing land. Sheep-growing is carried on quite extensively, but as large portions of the town are covered by heavy forests, lumbering forms the principal industry of the people. m The town is watered by numerous mountain- streams, abounding in trout and affording good (Trout.ng.) mill-sites, of which East Creek, flowing a westerly course through the northern part of the town, is the largest. TOWN OF MENDON. I49 In 1880 Mendon had a population of 629, was divided into seven school districts and had six common schools, employing ten female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $603.88. The number of pupils attending common schools was 150, and the total cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $689.18. Dr. Orel Cook was school superintendent. Mendon, (p. o.) a hamlet located in the north-western part of the town, is the only settlement. It contains one store, one blacksmith shop, one saw mill," one church (M. E.), and about one hundred inhabitants. E. H. Ripley's saw-mill, located at Mendon, was built in 1853, by William Y. Ripley. It cuts about 2,000 feet of lumber per day. Orel Cook's saw-mill, on East Creek, was rebuilt by him in 187 1. It has a capacity of about 5,000 feet of lumber per day. Darius Coutts saw-mill, located on East Creek, was built about the year 1836. It has since been rebuilt and a circular-saw added, and now has a ca pacity of about 4,000 feet of lumber per day. Of the first settlers of Mendon but little, is known, although many grand children of the early settlers still reside in the town. In 181 1 Mendon had only eleven voters. The first birth recorded in the town was Trowbridge Maynard Richardson, son of Johnson and Sibel Richardson, born November 17, 1800, and died May 6, 1803. The first marriage recorded was that of Simon Parker and Lucy Perkins, by Johnson Richardson, justice of the peace, January 2, 18 10. Johnson Richardson was also the first representative, elected in 1812. Jonathan Eggleston, from Pequomick, Conn., Johnson Richardson and some of the first town officers, with their families, were the first settlers of the town. Eggleston settled in the north-west part of the town about the year 1792, and many of his descendants still reside there. The first tavern was kept by Johnson Richardson, in the northern part of the town, near East Creek. The building has long since gone to decay, and in the middle of what was once the cellar, there is growing a tree about two feet in diameter. The Indian " Capt. John " was quite a character in the town, being the only Indian, so far as known, ever living within its limits. He belonged to some tribe in the western part of New York, from whom he had to flee for exposing some of their plans to the whites. It seems they had planned the massacre of a white settlement near their village, and John, being friendly, warned the whites of their danger. They accordingly were prepared, and repelled the Indians when they made the at tack. For this act John was obliged to flee from his people to the whites ; they, however, mistrusted him, and as a punishment slit both his ears. He subsequently joined the American army, where he acted as a scout, and was afterward pensioned by the Government for his services. After leaving the army, not daring to be seen by his people, he fled to the wilds of Parkerstown, and built a camp not far from Johnson Richardson's, dwelling here and in the surrounding towns for many years. Indians from his tribe often came here 150 TOWN OF MENDON. in search of him, but the whites would secrete him until they left. On one occasion John was cornered by three Indians, when he promptly shot two of them and wounded the third. After this he was molested no more. John lived to be very old, none knew his age? but was supposed to be about ninety when he died. In May, 187 1, a large fire occurred in the part of Mendon called the " Notch," by which a saw-mill, two barns and seven dwellings were, burned with the goods and household stuff they contained. Several families were left destitute. The loss was estimated at about $20,000.00. Zidon Edson from Grafton, Vt., was one of the early settlers of Parkers town. He built the fiist mill in town, in 1810, which was destroyed by a freshet in 181 1. James K. Pearson came to Mendon from Rutland in 1835. He was a prominent man and held several town offices. He died in March, 1853. Cyrus Edson from Bridgewater, Mass., moved to Parkerstown in 1825, where he lived until his death, at the advanced age of 85. William Shedd was one of the early settlers of Rutland, and subsequently removed to Mendon, in 1846, where he resided until his death, April 26, 1873. His son, Henry, born June 5, 1841, came to Mendon with his father and has resided in the town ever since; he represented the town in the General Assembly in 1880, and has been selectman a number of years. Daniel Gleason, with his son Abel, came to Rutland from Keene, N. H., about the year 1800. Henry, son of Abel, is now a resident of Mendon. Dr. Orel Cook was born in Rutland in 1813, and located in Mendon in 1870. Dr. Cook was graduated at Dartmouth College. During the war he was acting surgeon of the hospital at Louisville, Ky. He has held various offices in the town, and was a member of Assembly from Mendon in 1872 and '74, and is now State Senator. The following is a list of the town clerks since the organization of the town: John Page, 1806; Johnson Richardson, 1808; John Page, 1809; Philip Perkins, 1810; Zidon Edson, 1811; John Shaw, 1812; Wm. Sabin, 1813 ;- Elisha Easterbrooks, 181 7; Nathan Fisher, 1823; Draper Ruggles, 1833; Edward Mussey, 1834; Ira Seward, 1835; Edward Mussey, 1836; Zidon Edson, 1840; James K. Pearson, 1841; Ebon C. French, 1850; James K. Pearson, 1852; J. R. Royce Pearson, 1863; Alpheus S. Snow, 1855; James W. Kimball, 1857; James E. Seward, 1859; Newton Squires, i860. Mr. Squires still holds the office, 1881. While Johnson Richardson was keeping the public house at Mendon, it was necessary for Mrs. Richardson to keep a servant. On one occasion this servant happened to be a bright, smart lass, by the name of Lydia Fales. Mrs Richardson's son, Rufus, had an eye for beauty, and consequently paid numerous little attentions to the pretty Lydia, and as a natural consequence, they soon, became very much in love with each other. Both were "workers," and quite economical, and neither liked to spare time to go TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. 15 1 to Rutland to get married, that being the nearest place they could get any one to perform the ceremony. Thus affairs stood, until one day Esq. Williams of Rutland, while on his way to Woodstock, stopped at Richardson's to bait his horse. Lydia was washing that day, and had finished all but mopping the floor. She was right in the midst of this healthful exercise, when Rufus came rushing in and informed her a justice of the peace was in the house, and they could be married immediately. This Lydia agreed to, pro viding she could have the ceremony performed just as she was, without hav ing to stop to change her dress. This was agreed to, and she dropped her mop, the Squire came and performed the ceremony, after which she resumed her work. She made him a good wife, was a good neighbor, and a kind mother to a large family of children. Rufus became one of the first busi ness men of the town, and was considered so as long as he lived. During the late war of 1861 and '65, Mendon furnished, in number, for soldiers, more than half the number of legal voters in the town, paid $13,000 bounty money, and $2,400 commutation money. She also furnished two men over the quota required of her. Quite a number of men belonging to Mendon, enlisted in and went for other towns. The Methodist Episcopal Church of Mendon, located at Mendon village, was organized by the Union Society, July 28, 1859, with Elder Spencer as pastor. At its organization it had but twenty members, the membership having since increased to forty, with John S. Mott for their present pastor. The building was erected in i860, will comfortably seat about 300 persons, and cost $1,000. The value of the church property is at present estimated at about $1,200. |||jj|lDDLETOWN is situated in the south-west part of the county, in fl|i lat. 43° 28', and long. 30 57' east from Washington, bounded north W by Poultney and Ira, east by Ira and Tinmouth, south by Tinmouth and Wells, and west by Wells and Poultney, the territory which comprises it being taken from these four towns. It is entirely surrounded by high mountains, causing ingress and egress to be exceedingly inconvenient, if not to say difficult ; and it is owing to this fact that the town is in existence. This statement will be explained by the following extract from the records of the February session of the General Assembly of the State of Vermont, held at Bennington, in 1784: — " A petition signed by Joseph Spaulding and fifty others, inhabitants of the north-west corner of Tinmouth, north-east corner of Wells, south-east comer of Poultney, and south-west corner of Ira, setting forth that the mountains around them are so impracticable to pass that it is with great trouble and difficulty that they can meet with the towns they belong to, in town and other meetings, &c, and praying that they may be incorporated into a town, with the privileges, &c, wa's read and referred to a committee of five, to join a committee from the Council, to take the same into consider ation, state facts and make report. The members chosen were Mr. Whipple, Moses Robinson, Mr. Jewett, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Cogsell." 152 TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. That the committee looked upon the matter in a favorable light is shown by the following Act of the Legislature, in session at Rutland, on the 28th of October, 1784: — " Whereas, the inhabitants of a part of the towns of Wells, Tinmouth, Poultney and Ira, which are included in the bounds hereinafter described, have, by their petition represented, that they labor under great inconvenience with meeting with their several towns for public worship and town business, by reason of being surrounded by high mountains. "Be it therefore enacted, and it is hereby enacted by the representa-' tives of the freemen of the State of Vermont in General As sembly met, and by authority of the same, that the tract of land or district of land hereinafter described, be and is hereby created and incor porated into a township, by the name of Middletown, and the inhabitants thereof and their successors with the like privileges and prerogatives which the other towns in the state are invested with, viz : Beginning at a beech tree marked, standing west 260 south 310 chains from the north-east corner of Wells; thence east 40° south 290 chains, to a white ash tree standing in Tinmouth west line; thence east 10° south 45 chains, to a beech marked; thence north 2,2,° east 264 chains, to a beech tree marked; thence north io° west 333 chains, to a stake and stones standing in Poultney, east line; thence south io° west 28 chains, to stake and stones; thence west n° north 60 chains, to a small beech marked ; thence south 45 chains, to a hard beech tree ; thence west 400 south 207 chains 5 links, to a stake and stones stand ing in Wells north line ; thence west south 4 chains, to a stake ; thence south 10° west 185 chains, to the first mentioned bounds." From the north-west corner of Tinmouth was taken 3,510 acres ; from the north-east corner of Wells, 6,118 acres; from the south-east corner of Poultney, 2,388 acres, and from the south-west corner of Ira, 1,825 acres, giving the township an area of 13,841 acres. Joseph Spaulding, the first in stigator of the petition presented at Bennington, was a practical surveyor. He took the lead in the movement, and made the survey of the town, in which he was governed by his own judgment, the people submitting that mat ter to him, and he seems to have given general satisfaction in his decision. After he had made his survey, and completed his arrangements for bringing the matter before the Legislature, the people conceded to him the honor of naming the town, which he did. Mr. Spaulding had removed to this section from Middletown, Conn., hence that name was thereby suggested to him as being very appropriate, as the new township would lie in the middle of a section composed of four towns. On the 17th of the following month (November, 1784) a meeting for the organization of the town was held at the Congregational church, then a log structure, standing near the south-east corner of the burial ground. At this meeting Edmund Bigelow was chosen moderator ; Joseph Rockwell, town clerk, and Edmund Bigelow, justice of the peace. A committee was also appointed, consisting of Edmund Bigelow, Joseph Rockwell and Joseph Spaulding, to reckon with several of the inhabitants of the town, respecting the costs made in getting the town established, for which services the said committee, at an adjourned meeting, were voted £2. 12s. 6d. The first annual town meeting was held TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. 1 53 March 7th, 1785, at which Hon. Thomas Porter, of Tinmouth, was chosen moderator ; Joseph Rockwell, town clerk ; Jonathan Brewster, Jacob Wood and Edmund Bigelow, selectmen ; Caleb Smith, town treasurer ; Ephraim Wood, constable ; Asher Blunt, Jona Griswold, Reuben Searl, listers ; Silas Mallary, collector; Jona Frisbie, leather sealer; Samuel Sunderlin, Reuben Searl, grand jurymen ; Nathan Record, tithing-man ; Elisha Gilbert, hayward ; Caleb Smith, brander of horses; Increase Rudd, sealer of measures ; Edmund Bigelow, sealer of weights; Abraham White, Solomon Hill, John Sunderlin, Benjamin Haskins, Benjamin Coy, Phineas Clough and James McClure, highway surveyors ; Luther Filmore, pound-keeper ; Thomas Morgan, Wm. Frisbie and Increase Rudd, fence viewers. The surface of Middletown is broken and uneven, but still retains some intervales of arable productive land. The hills and mountain-sides afford pasturage for large herds of sheep and cattle ; hence it is that the township is noted rather as a stock and wool-growing section than a grain-growing district. The rocks are those peculiar to most of the country lying on the Taconic range of mountains, Talcoid schist preponderating. The soil is mostly a gravelly loam, with some alluvial deposit from the mountains, both affording good farming-land, and especially along the Poultney River, where are found many excellent farms. The products are wheat, oats, rye, buck wheat, Indian corn, potatoes and hay. The only considerable stream is Poultney River, which has, however, numerous small tributaries. It rises in Tinmouth and flows a westerly course through this township into Poultney. The timber is mostly beech, birch, maple, hemlock, cedar, spruce and ash. From the maple large quantities of sugar is manufactured. In 1880 Middletown had a population of 824, with eight common schools, employing three male, and ten female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $822.50. There were 160 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $1,025.60. Mr. L. H. Jennings was superintendent. Middletown Springs, a post village located in the central part of the town, on Poultney River, has three hotels, four stores, two cheese factories, three churches, one foundry, two blacksmith shops, the horse power and threshing machine works of A. W. Gray's Sons, and about fifty dwellings. The village is also noted for the mineral springs found here, from which it derives its name. The springs are situated on the north bank of the river, and are said, in tradition, to have been used by the red man as far back as were those at Saratoga. Be that as it may, a century ago they were found by the first settlers, led to them by the Indians, and were used with great benefit ; but being off the line of any great thoroughfare, and the country at that time a wilderness, their use was local. But in the great freshet of the year 181 1, the great storm flooded the Poultney River, and it overflowed its banks, cut a new channel and left these springs buried deep under hundreds 154 TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. of tons of dirt and debris. Their history was almost lost, and they existed only in tradition. Young men and maidens grew to manhood and woman hood — to old age ; saw their grandchildren rise up to take their places, and after more than half a century, in 1868, another flood sent the Poultney River over its banks, and by a freak of nature it undid what it had before done, and so cutting through the deposit of dirt and gravel, these healing fountains were again uncovered. Now the country is cleared. The woods have been swept back to the hill tops, and a numerous and busy population surrounds them, while hundreds come many miles each year to drink of the healthful waters. The Montvert Hotel, connected with the Springs property, an elegant and commodious house, passed into the hands of A. W. Gray's Sons, and by them was last spring sold to the Montvert Hotel Company, Limited, with Thos. B. Wilson Esq., of New York, one of the company, as manager. The house has been thoroughly refurnished, and fitted in first class style, and on July 4th, was formerly opened with a grand celebration and display of fire-works in the evening. A. W. Gray's Sons manufactory, situated on Poultney River, at this village, is operated by both water and steam power. The firm have been in con tinual business here for the last forty years. At the opening of the shops, the farm labor of the country was almost entirely done by hand, the plough and the drag being almost the only implements in common use by the farmers, in which the power of the horse was substituted for that of man. The cultivator, drill, threshing-machine, wood-saw, mowing-machine, horse- rake and reaper have been introduced since. This firm began with A. W. Gray, the father, in a small way and with rude machinery ; the business has increased and the machines been improved until they are now able to offer the perfected machines of the present day. The present proprietors were brought up as boys in the shop, and taught to make every part of either wood or metal of each machine manufactured by them, having invented and perfected many of the devices in use in the machines. Arriving at manhood, they became interested as partners in the business. Many years since they assumed the sole control, and five years since became the sole owners, and have since then conducted the business under the name of A. W. Gray's Sons, by which they are widely known through the whole country, as manufacturers of agri cultural implements, etc. They employ about 50 men and manufacture about 1,200 different machines each year. Smith's carriage manufactory, located at Middletown Springs, opposite the works of A. W. Gray's Sons, was established in 187 1. He manufactures all kinds of wagons and carriages, and also does repairing. Spring Valley Cheese Factory, located at Middletown Springs, was built by a stock company in 1876. It has the capacity for manufacturing cheese from. the milk of 400 cows. Middletown Cheese Factory was one of the first established in the State. TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. 1 55 It has facilities for manufacturing the milk from 700 cows, but only uses the milk of a little over six hundred. Cline's grist and saw mill is located on Poultney River, one half mile east of Middletown Springs. The grist-mill has one run of stones and does mostly custom work. The saw-mill has the capacity for cutting 3,000 feet of lumber per day. Atwater's cider-mill, located about three miles south of Middletown Springs, on road 24, has the capacity for making 20 barrels of cider per day. The exact date when the first settlers came here perhaps cannot be given. It was, however, before the Revolutionary war, and probably but a short time before. Settlement was commenced by Thomas Morgan, Richard and Benjamin Haskins, Phineas Clough and Luther Filmore. Thomas Morgan built the first frame house in town, nearly one mile south of the village, on the farm now owned by his grandson, Daniel Morgan. Mr. Morgan lived here until his death, which occurred in the year 1841. When he came to the town it was an unbroken wilderness, and he could only find his way by marked trees. After he came and commenced clearing the forest, he purchased 100 acres of land about one mile from where the village now stands, and put up a log house a few feet from where the framed house now stands on the old " Morgan Farm." By the summer of 1777 he had made considerable progress in clearing up his land, as he had that summer four acres of wheat, but he was called away to Bennington by the Revolution, and his wheat was never harvested. Richard Haskins commenced settlement a little east of the village. He, too, in 1777, had two acres of wheat which he never' harvested, but went to Bennington. Benj. Hoskins built a log house and commenced settlement a little east of the village. Luther Filmore put up a log house on the south-west corner of what is known as the " Green," in the village. Where Phineas Clough first located is not positively known ; but he early settled on what has since been known as the " Orcutt Farm." These five men are all who are known to have been here before the Revo- utionary war. They all left in the summer of 1777, joined the militia at Manchester, and were all in Bennington battle. The first mills were built by Gideon Miner in 1782. They were located about one-half mile east of where the villagenow is. Mr. Morgan assisted Mr. Miner, as a workman, in building the mi'lls. Morgan brought the mill- irons from Bennington on a horse. After the Revolution, when the settlers had again returned to their farms, immigration became rapid, for in the fall of 1784, the people petitioned the Legislature for a new town. It can readi ly be seen that the settlers upon those parts of the then towns of Poultney, Ira, Tinmouth and Wells, now included in the limits of Middletown, would naturally become a community by themselves, and unite their interests and feelings in spite of town lines. They had already done so— two churches had 156 TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. been organized, and a log meeting-house erected, and the members of the church were from the four towns, but had a common centre, where it has been since and now is. If those town lines had never been changed, there must have been the same churches here, the same business, the same village. Na ture formed the territory for a town, and as the settlers increased in numbers, they became aware of it and petitioned, as has been seen, the Legislature for the same. On the farm of E. B. Cook is an old house, built about 100 years ago by Caleb Smith. Mr. Cook intends to tear it down this year and build anew on its site. Asa Gardner was one of the early settlers of the township, settling about two miles north of the village. Aimer, his son, was born in this town, where he resided until his death, in 1877, at the age of 82 years. Charles, brother of Aimer, is still living, the oldest man in the township, aged 88. The Gard ner place is situated on road 2, and contains the oldest house in town, being built in 1778. Nathaniel Cleft was born in the town of Ira, April 1, 1800. where he resid ed until 1838, when he removed to this town and settled on road 2, on the farm now owned by his son, H. R. Cleft. He died Dec. 7, 1875. Joseph Spaulding, who laid out and surveyed the township, was also the first school teacher in the town, having taught in a log meeting house, where the village now stands. He lived one mile north of the village, where he died at the age of 96 years. His son Joseph came to the town a few years after his father, and located near the village, but afterward lived in various parts of the town. His son Harley is still living in town. Gideon Buel, an early settler of Middletown, left two sons and one daugh ter, named Jared, Julia and Boswell, Sen. Boswell Buel, Sen., represented the town in the State Legislature during the years i860 and '61. His son, Boswell, Jr., represented the town in 1850, and was a member of the Consti tutional Convention in 1870, and a member of the Legislature in 1870, '72, '74, '75 and '76- He was instrumental in getting an appropriation of six hundred dollars for the Nathaniel Chipman monument of 1872, and in 1874 an appropriation of $150 for the purpose of erecting an iron fence around said monument. Samuel Hutchings settled in the town at an early date. His daughter, Anna Clark, still resides here, at the advanced age of 85 years. Moses E. Vail, an old resident of Middletown, is a son of Micah, and grand son of Edward Vail, early settlers of Danby, spoken of in the Danby history. Moses engaged in mercantile pursuits in Middletown as early as 1841, retir ing from active business in 1875. His son, C. B. Vail, is now one of the ¦prominent merchants of Rutland village. The freshet spoken of as having changed the course of Poultney River, did a great deal of damage to the town. It occurred in July, 181 1. Many houses at the village, and all the mills and machinery, except those now TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. 157 known as Gray's Mills, were swept away. The disastrous effects of this flood were severely felt in Middletown for many years, and indeed the town, as a place of business, never fully recovered from it. John Burnam, who had been the leading business man of the town, was becoming an old man, and . felt disinclined to undergo the necessary labor and care which would be required to start anew in so extensive a business as he had done. He, how ever, rebuilt his forge and saw mill, which were in operation some years after that, but without the activity which his former mills had shown. A good many men were thrown out of employment, and were obliged to seek else where. At the census of 1820 the population of the town was but 1,039, a falling off of 168 from 1810, owing in a great measure, if not entirely, to the sad effects of the freshet. Yet, notwithstanding the great destruction' of property, Middletown continued, and still is, a lively little place. The Congregational Church, located at Middletown Springs, was organized in 1780, by the Rev. Mr. Hibbard, who was the first minister. The church building is a comfortable structure, capable of seating 300 persons, erected in 1796, and, including grounds, is valued at $4,000. The society now has a membership of 85, with Osborn Myrick as pastor. Middletown Baptist Church, located at Middletown Springs, was organized by a delegation from Manchester and Danby, in the year 1784, with Rev. Sylvanus Haynes as pastor. The building was erected in 1806, and is valued at about $5,500, with a seating capacity of about 250. The society has now about 70 members, with Rev. T. H. Archibald as pastor. The M. E. Church of Middletown, located at Middletown Springs, was or ganized by the Rev. Samuel Young, on Nov. 24, 1835, with a membership of nine. The society now has fourteen members, with no regular pastor. The building was erected in the year 1836. It has a seating capacity of 200, and, together with the property at the time it was built, was valued at $1,200; but has since decreased in value, so that it is now estimated at about $i,ooo. The Second Advent Church, located at Middletown Springs, was organized by Elder C. Kingsley in 1879, and consisted of 17 members. They have erected no building yet, and hold their services in the hall. The society now consists of 20 members, with Rev. W. O. Bibbins, of Rutland, pastor. gg||OUNT HOLLY, located in the eastern part of the county, in lat. 43° 29' and long. 4" 14' east from Washington, was not one of the original townships. In surveying the towns on the east and west sides of the Green Mountains, there was left between Ludlow, on the east, and Walling ford, on the west, a gore of land called " Jackson's Gore" — taking its name from Abraham Jackson, one of the original proprietors, and an early settler on the Gore. It will be seen that the State widens as we proceed north from the Massachusetts line, the west line being straight, and supposed to be a continuation of the old " twenty mile line " spoken of on page 54, while the east line was the west bank of the Connecticut River, which tends eastward. 158 TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. Gov. Wentworth, in chartering the towns of Vermont, laid them out in town ships, each six miles square, beginning at the south end of the State. As he surveyed farther north, those on the east followed the river, while the west ward towns were laid out in a straight line. For the first forty miles the State is nearly uniform, being some thirty-five miles or more in width ; but farther north it widens, and as the outside towns were first surveyed, the widening gore in the center of the State was left unchartered. In the years 1780 and '81, Vermont, then struggling into existence, was passing through a fearful ordeal. The Continental Congress had ordered Vermont to cease to be, " To for bear and abstain from all acts of authority, civil or military." Governor Chittenden had replied, July 25, 1780, protesting against the action, and notified the President of Congress that " Vermont has no alternative. She must either submit to the unwarrantable decree of Congress, or continue her appeal to Heaven and to arms." Accordingly, the General Assembly, at its October session in 1780, deliberately determined to raise money to put Ver mont on a war footing. To do this, they resorted to three expedients, ist, the confiscation and sale of the lands and effects of all British adherents ; which expedient alone, put into the treasury ^430,000 ; 2d, the sale of all ungranted lands ; 3d, the issue of money. Under the 2d expedient, Jack son Gore was granted or chartered to Abraham Jackson, Jr., and twenty-nine associated residents of Wallingford, among whom were Mathew Lyon, the Clarks — four brothers — the Ives, etc. The charter is dated Feb. 23, 1781, and reads as follows : — " Resolved, That a certain tract or gore of land, lying and being situate, on the east side of Wallingford, containing by estimation nine thousand seven hundred acres, be granted tb Abraham Jackson, Esq., and his asso ciates to the number of thirty. To be annexed to, and incorporated with, the town of Wallingford." The granting fees were nine pounds per right, putting ^270 into the treasurysof Vermont. In 1792 the present town of Mt. Holly was incorporated by the Legislature, at the October session of that year, held at Rutland. The town, as incorporated, was made up by adding to Jackson's Gore, on the east, all that portion of the town of Ludlow lying west of. the highest ridge of what is called Ludlow Mountain, and on the west, one mile in width, or two tiers of lots from the east side of the town of Wallingford. This con stitutes the present town of Mt. Holly, which, in point of territory or size, ranks among the larger towns of the State. It is bounded north by Shrews bury and Plymouth, east by Ludlow, south by Weston, and west by Walling ford and Mt. Tabor ; it lies in a sort of shallow basin, or depression in the Green Mountains. The old stage route from Burlington, via Rutland, to Boston, passed through this town, and in the old days of stage coaches and loaded teams, afforded, probably, the best place for crossing the mountains, south of Montpelier. TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. 159 The land was originally covered with a heavy growth of timber, consisting of sugar-maple, beech, birch, spruce and hemlock, mainly, with a less amount of fir, basswood, black and white ash, wild cherry and poplar. Since the building of the railroad through the town, wood and lumber have been im portant items of traffic. The rock is mostly Green Mountain gneiss, though in the extreme south part of the town limestone is found, from which very good lime is made ; but it is not manufactured to any great extent, no\ even as much so as formerly. There is also a deposit of asbestos, found abouti one mile north-west from Mechanicsville, on the farm owned by Nathanjand Henry Smith. The soil is mostly a strong, somewhat heavy loam — in spme parts of the town, especially along the valley of Mill River — consider/ably mixed with sand. Clay-beds are found in several Idealities suitable/ for making brick. The country is well watered by small streams and numerous springs ; Mill River, being the largest, rises in the extreme south-west part of the town, and running in a northerly direction, crosses a corner of Wallingford, through Shrewsbury into Clarendon, where it empties into Otter Creek. All the smaller streams on the western slope of the town empty into Mill River; while those on the eastern slope find their way to Black River, and are discharged into the Connecticut. There are several small lakes or ponds in the town, of which Patch's Pond, situated in the north-eastern part, is the largest, being about one mile in length by half-a-mile in width. The soil being much better adapted to grass than grain, it is almost entirely a grazing town. The farmers devote their attention to the raising of stock and manufacture of butter and cheese, depending on the grain-growing States of the west for their corn and flour. Large quantities of oats are raised, which are used mostly in home consumption. In 1880 the township had a population of 1,390, was divided into 12 scliool districts and had 1 2 common schools, employing three male and four teen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $1,234.00. There were 349 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31, was $1,675.00, with Angil R. Crowley, superin tendent. There is no large village in the town, but there are several small settle ments or hamlets, which are dignified by the title of " ville," as : Mechanics ville, Bowlsville, Tarbellsville, Hortonville, Healdville, Goodelville, etc. Mechanicsville, a post village, situated two and one-half miles south of Mt. Holly station, on the C. V. R. R., contains twenty-four dwellings, one store, one chair-stock factory, one church (union), one blacksmith-shop and Chase's toy factory. This toy manufactory is quite an extensive business, employing thirty-five to forty men. It was commenced by Philip C. Chase in 1863, and under his management has been a success from the first He employs both water and steam power, and manufactures 30 to 40 different styles of children's wagons, carts and wheelbarrows. 160 TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. Healdville, (p. o.) a small hamlet and railroad station, is situated in the eastern part of the town. Mount Holly, (p. o.) situated near the central part of the town, is also a small hamlet and R. R. station. Tarbellville is situated about one mile west of Mechanicsville, and was named after one of its residents, Marshall Tarbell. It contains one store, one cheese factory, the manufactories of Marshall Tarbell, two blacksmith-shops, and thirteen dwellings. Most of the hamlet is owned by Mr. Tarbell, who carries on the manufacture of lumber, rakes and chair stock. The different branches of business are at present conducted in one building, the factories having twice been destroyed by fire; the first time on February 3d, 1858, and again January 5, 18*78. The first fire Mr. Tarbell had no insurance to cover his loss. The second destroyed two shops, with sheds adjoining; also one dwelling and one horse-barn. The buildings were at the time filled with goods, manufactured and in the process of manufacture, thus causing a loss of about eight thousand dollars, covered by an insurance of only $1,900. The present capacity of the saw mill is about 600,000 feet of lumber annu ally. The rake factory is probably the largest in New England, turning out 3,000 to 4,000 dozen per year, the most of which are exported to England. The manufacture of chair stock consumes 250,000 to 300,000 feet of lumber per year. Tarbellville Cheese Factory is also under the supervision of Mr. Tarbell. It uses the milk of 300 cows, and manufactures about 65,000 lbs. of cheese annually. Bowlesville is situated about two miles west of Mt. Holly Station, on the R. & B. R. R. It contains one church, (Advent,) a district school house, and about ten dwellings. It takes its name from being the location of a fac tory for turning wooden bowls, and the manufacture of other wooden ware. Goodelville is a small settlement, situated in the western part of the town, on Mill Creek, and contains one grist-mill and five dwellings. Hortonville hamlet, situated one and three-quarter miles N. E. of Mt. Holly station, contains one blacksmith shop, one wheelwright shop, one saw and chair stock mill, one district school house, one cheese factory, and fifteen dwellings. Daniel C. Allard's mills are located in the west part of the town, about two miles east of Mechanicsville, embracing a saw-mill and machinery for the manufacture of chair-stock. The saw-mill has a capacity of about 6,000 feet of lumber per day, employing about ten men. Mt. Holly Cheese Factory, located one and one-half miles north-east of Mt. Holly station, is owned and superintended by William Lord. It uses the milk of four-hundred cows, and manufactures ninety thousand pounds of cheese annually. Warren Horton' s saw mill, located about a quarter of a mile north-east from this cheese factory, manufactures from three to four-hundred thousand feet of spruce lumber per year. TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. l6l A. W. Graves &=¦ Co.'s saw mill is situated about one and a half miles south-west of Mechanicsville, and has the capacity for sawing 300,000 feet of lumber per year, and manufactures 12,000 butter tubs annually. They also manufacture chair stock to a considerable extent. Parmenter 6° Johnson's mill, located about one-half mile south-west of Mechanicsville, manufactures chair-stock, and about 400,000 feet of lumber per year. Jedediah Hammond was probably about the first settler on the land com prised in the present town of Mt. Holly, having settled on the Jackson Gore, in 1770, when he was but seventeen years of age; coming there from Old Bedford, Mass. He was the second representative from the town, which office he held for thirteen years, and was for several years justice of the peace and deputy sheriff, and was a counselor at law for over forty years. The first settlement in that part formerly called Ludlow, was made by the families of Joseph Green, Nathaniel Pingrey, Abraham Crawley, David Bent and Silas Proctor, who emigrated thither about the year 1786. About 1789 and '90 settlement was made on the Gore, by the Clarks, Jacksons, Ives, Lyon, &c, from Wallingford. The well kept records of Wallingford show numerous actions that were had in town meeting that relate to the Gore, and several early settlers held town office in Wallingford. Abraham Jackson, Jr., was the son of Abraham Jackson, Esq., who is erroneously credited with being the first settler of Wallingford. He came to Wallingford from Connecticut with his father in 1773. They built a house on a bend of Otter Creek, just east of the present residence of P. G. Clark, Esq. After a residence in Wallingford of eight years, where he was first town clerk, first inn-keeper and first representative, he settled near Mechanicsville, on the Mead place. The pond is situated on what was his farm, and is still called Jackson Pond. He was a prominent and influential man and became the first Representative of Mt. Holly. Mathew Lyon sold his right to Jethro Jackson, a brother of Abraham and a proprietor of the Gore. Jethro located at Bowlsville, building the first grist mill. The Clarks, who were residents of Wallingford and proprietors in the Gore, came to Wallingford in 1774 and settled both sides of Otter Creek, about where the village now stands. Ichabod G., Stephen, John and Chauncey, joined Warren's regiment from Wallingford, and the four brothers stood shoulder to shoulder at Hubbardton and afterward at Bennington. Stephen settled in Wallingford, where Robert Marsh now lives. He moved to Jackson Gore in 1 781, and settled where Hilon Holden now resides. John settled on what is called the Sprague place, and was afterwards first town clerk of Mt. Holly. Chauncey joined him soon after. This family figures largely in the first eras of the settlement of Mt. Holly. The Ives family, Jonah, Ebenezer, Amos and Jotham, came to the Gore in 1781, after a residence of six to eight years in Wallingford. Tradition says -11 1 62 TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. that the Clarks, Ives, Jacksons and others sold their land upon Otter Creek for one shilling per acre, and came to Mt. Holly for the purpose of "getting rid of the cussed flies and mosquitoes," which they could not endure in Wal lingford. Jonah Ives settled on the farm now owned by Leverett Ives, where he built a hut just opposite where the present house stands. Here he lived several years, " keeping bachelor's hall," and the place was known for a long time as Uncle Jonah's camp. It was in Uncle Jonah's hut that the first death in the town occurred, caused by the accidental discharge of a gun. The victim was a man by the name of Flanders, and at the time of the accident he was " setting " the gun for a bear, in a neighboring corn field ; immediately after the accident, he was carried into Jonah's camp, where he expired the following night, and was buried on the farm now owned by Darius Perkins. The rude stone that marked his grave has long since been torn away by the plow, and now nothing remains to mark the spot. When Uncle Jonah first came to the town, bears, wolves and other wild animals were plenteous, and a constant source of annoyance to the settlers. The first hotel was kept by Joseph Green, near Healdville, where Wm. B. and John P. Hoskins now reside. David Bent built the second, where Lewis Barrett now resides, and the third was built by Stephen Clark, where David Horton now resides. Lyman Clark and Martin Carviner built the first store, at North Mt. Holly. Here the post-office was kept, with Stephen Clark as first post-master, the mail being brought from Rutland on horseback. Perry Green Dawley emigrated to Mt. Holly from Rhode Island with three other families, about the year 1783, settling on the farm now owned by Dor- win G. Dawley. The same year his son Perry G. was born, being the first male child born in the town. Perry G. Dawley died early in the year 1876, at the advanced age of 93 years. Jonas Holden, one of the early settlers, came to Mt. Holley in 1792, from Ludlow. He was a revolutionary soldier, born at Gratton, Mass., August 8, 1752. At the battle of Bunker Hill, Jonas wore a red shirt, so he could scarcely be distinguished from the English red-coats. After the Continental army had retreated, Jonas still stood his ground and continued to fire as though there was nothing wrong. He was soon deteeted by the British, how ever, and, while attempting to make his escape, was wounded in the hip ; he fell, but was rescued by his comrades. For this act of gallantry he was pro moted from the ranks to a first lieutenancy. Jonas built the second frame house in the town, in about the year 1794 or '95. The whole town was then covered with a dense forest, with the exception of here, and there a small clearing. The nearest grist-mill was at Cavendish, and he had to carry, or drag his grain there, a distance of twelve miles, on a crotched stick, finding his way through the forest by means of marked trees. This mode of convey ance was commonly used by the pioneers, and was called a " dray." Sarah Holden, wife of Jonas, lived to the advanced age of 99 years, 9 months and 18 days, retaining full possession of her mental faculties to the last. On TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. 163 one occasion she went to the " Green Stand " on horseback, where she was detained until after dark ; on her way home she was attacked by a pack of wolves, which followed her so closely that she was obliged to ride under a tree and clamber up into its branches. The horse, eased of its burden, soon reached home. The family, seeing that something was wrong, immediately started in search of her, and found her some hours after, still perched in the tree, guarded by wolves. Silas, Jr., son of Silas Proctor, one of the earliest settlers, was killed by the falling of a tree on Proctor hill, in the year 1832. There are numerous ancedotes and traditions among the older inhabitants, of accidents that happened stage coaches when the old stage line passed through the town. About the year 1838 an accident occurred near the town line, just below Healdville, by which one woman was killed and two men seriously injured. It was caused by the stage tipping over an embank ment. The first minister resident in the town was the Rev. Silas L. Bingham, Congregationalist. The exact date of his settlement is not known, but was about the year 1 800. Meetings were held in barns and private houses, until about 1802, when Mr. Bingham organized, and had built a small Congrega tionalist church at Mt. Holly. This organization was kept up until 1856. The Baptist Church of Mount Holly was organized September 6, 1804, by a council called for that purpose, and contained 29 members, with Rev. Daniel Packer as pastor. The present house of worship was erected in 1851, at a cost of about $2,000.00, and is now valued at about $2,500.00. The present membership is about 122, of which 90 are resident. The Rev. O. J. Taylor is at present pastor. The building will comfortably seat about 350 people. The Union Church of Mechanicsville (Methodist Episcopal) was organized in 1815, by Elder Beaman, and consisted of about 20 members, with Elder Beaman, pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1820, which was succeeded by the present edifice in 1850, built by the Methodist and Baptist , societies, at a cost of about $1,750.00, the present value of the property being about $3,700.00, with Rev. James E. Knapp, pastor. There are about 104 members. The Advent Church at Bowlsville was organized by the Rev. D. Bosworth, January 21, 1854, with a membership of nineteen. Mr. Bosworth is still pastor, with a membersip of 45. The church will seat 300 people and is valued at $800,00 to $1,000.00. St. Mary's Church, (Roman Catholic,) located at North Mt. Holly, was organized in 1874 by P. Kelly and J. Darcy. It then consisted of 34 mem bers, with Rev. Chas. Boylon as pastor. The edifice was erected in 1875 at a cost of $4,000.00, and is capable of seating 225 persons. Rev. J. C. McLaughlin is the present pastor, with a membership of 80 families. 164 TOWN OF MT. TAEOR. |||ROUNT TABOR is located in the south-eastern corner of the county, {pi in lat 430 21' and long. 4° 8' east from Washington, bounded north W by Wallingford and a small part of Mt. Holly, east by a small part of Mt. Holly, and Weston in Windsor county, south by Peru in Benning ton County, and west by Danby. It was chartered under the name of Har- wick, to Jonathan Willard and sixty others, by Benning Wentworth, of Mew Hampshire, on the 28th day of August, 1761, and contained 23,040 acres. The usual reservations of public lands were made in this charter, and with the usual restrictions. The township of Harwick was organized March 17, 1788, with Gideon Tabor, moderator; John Jenkins, town clerk; John Stafford, John Jenkins and Gideon Baker, selectmen. The township re tained the name of Harwick until the year 1803, when it was changed to that of Mt. Tabor, so called in honor of Gideon Tabor, the first moderator of the township. The change was made in consequence of there being a town by the name of Hardwick in the State, which sometimes caused miscarriage of mail matter. A part of the town of Peru, 200 rods wide, east and west, and six miles long, was an nexed to Mt. Tabor in 1805, and remained with that township twenty years, when it was annexed to Dorset. Other than this, there has been no change made in the boundaries of the town. The surface is very broken and mountainous, being situated almost entirely upon the Green Mountain range ; it contains however some intervales of good farming land, whereon is grown wheat, rye, oats, barley, Indian corn, etc. ; but by far the greater part of the farmer's wealth consists in his herds and flocks. Many, however, have given up farming entirely, and turned their attention to lumbering, considering that far more lucrative, as a great portion of the country is still covered by a dense primeval forest, the prin cipal timber of which is beech, birch, maple, cedar and spruce, interspersed with hemlock, black and white ash. There are numerous small streams distributed over the country, finding their way into Otter Creek, which flows through a portion of the western part, affording numerous mill-sites. The principal of the streams is called Roaring Branch, and rises in the south eastern part of the township, flows a north-easterly course, emptying into Otter Creek. The Bennington and Rutland Railway also passes through a portion of the western part, and Danby station is within the limits of this town. In 1880 Mt. Tabor had a population of 495, was divided into four school districts and had three common schools, employing four female teachers at an aggregate salary of $326.85. There were 93 pupils attending common schools, and the total expense of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $359.96. Mr. M. Barrett was superintendent. Brooklyn, (Mt Tabor p. o.) the only settlement of any considerable size, is a small village located in the western part of the township, on Roaring Branch. It contains one store, three saw-mills, and about seventy-five inhab itants. TOWN OF MT. Tabor. 165 N. E. Nichois mills, located on Roaring Branch, were built in 1862, and purchased by him in 1867. They include a saw and planing-mill, and a cheese-box and grain-measure factory. There are manufactured here 300,000 feet of lumber, 12,000 cheese-boxes and 5,000 grain-measures per annum. C. H. Congdon's saw-mill, located on Roaring Branch, was built in 1850, and has the capacity for manufacturing about 5,000 feet of lumber per day. John B. Stearne's saw-mill, located on Roaring Branch, was built in i860 by Marcellus Baker, and has the capacity for cutting 2,000 feet of lumber per day. ( .S. 5. Griffith's saw-mill, known as the " Greeley Mill," located on Roaring Branch, was built in 1840. It has facilities for cutting 6,000 feet of lumber per day. Mr. Griffith is also the proprietor of a steam-mill, located on road 5, which was erected in 1880, with the capacity for cutting 20,000 feet of lum ber per day. He is also quite extensively engaged in the manufacture of charcoal. Griffith &• Mclntyre's steam-mill, located in the central part of the town ship, on Big Branch Creek, was built in 1872, with the capacity for cutting 20,000 feet of lumber per day. About 300 acres of the best part of the town, including the Governor's lot, in the valley of Otter Creek, was first settled, and titles obtained by pitches and vendue sales for taxes. It was ascertained in 1857, by running the town line between Danby and Mt. Tabor, that parties claiming under Danby had crowded into Mt. Tabor 10 rods at Danby borough, the centre of said line, which takes about 60 acres of land, 8 dwellings, the meeting-house and the old banking-house, all treated as being in Danby, and will virtually form Mt. Tabor, and remain so by acquiescence, unless an Act of the Leg islature or a judgment of Court sets it right. We find no record of any in habitants in Mt. Tabor at an earlier date than 1782 ; but there were prob ably settlers here nearly as early as in any town in this vicinity. John Sweet came into the town in 1782, settling on 60 acres of land lying at the foot of the Green Mountains, on Otter Creek, in the south-west part of the township. He was the first settler of whom we have any record. He re sided here for many years, dying in 1818, leaving a numerous family. Gideon Baker soon after settled a little to the north of Mr. Sweet, and was one of the first selectmen and represented the town in the Legislature. His kitchen was used as a place for holding church service for a number of years, he being a staunch Methodist. He died in 1824 and was buried in the Tabor burying ground, the first marble in that ground being erected at his grave. Beloved Carpenter was also an early settler, having settled on the farm now owned by Miss Sophia Tabor. Gideon, the father of Miss Sophia, was bom in 1762, and was in the war of the Revolution four years. He came to Mt. Tabor in 1784, where he married Hannah, daughter of Beloved Carpenter, on the 4th of November, 1787. Gideon was chosen moderator 1 66 TOWN OF PAWLET. at the organization of the town, served as town clerk 28 years, represented the town in the Legislature most of the time for about 30 years, and was justice of the peace over 30 years. He died in February, 1824, in the 62nd year of his age. Caleb Buffum moved into Mt. Tabor in 1815, settling on a farm on the east road, about one mile from the creek road. He lived nearly forty years in the town, and raised a large family ; and then sold his farm and removed to Rutland, to reside with his son, Caleb Buffum, Jr. He and his wife both died in Rutland, but were brought back and buried in the Mt. Tabor burying ground. Esquire Buffum was an energetic useful man in town, and represented Mt. Tabor in the Legislature several years, and held all the town offices at different times. Walter Tabor was a soldier of the Revolutionary army. He resided in the town from 1792 until his death, in 1806. James Hathaway was also a sergeant in the Revolutionary army, was long a resident of the town, and died in 1826. Joseph Moulton was in the French and Revolutionary wars. He died in 18 1 5. Gideon Tabor was in the war of the Revolution four years. He went into the service at the age of sixteen. In the war of '61 Mt. Tabor paid bounties to five soldiers, $300 each, and $7.00 per month while in the service; one of these five was a Danby man. The town had six in the army, over and above its quota, when these bounties were paid. Thus Mt. Tabor, in proportion to its population furnished more men than any other township in the county. Mt. Tabor has no church except upon the land that Danby has ap propriated, as before stated, upon the Otter Creek border. The inhabitants attend worship in the towns adjoining. SBiAWLET is located in the south-west corner of the county, in lat. 43° s~p' 21'; and long. 3= 54' east from Washington, bounded north by Wells, 4$ east by Danby, south by Rupert, in Bennington County, and west by Hebron and Granville, in New York, and contains an area of 23,040 acres, or a tract six miles square, granted by Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, to Jonathan Willard and sixty-seven others, the charter bearing date August 26, 1761, and receiving its name from the principal river, which was formerly spelled Paulette, or Paulet, probably of French derivation. Of the sixty-eight grantees but few ever settled in the town, Willard having made some improvement here in 1761 or 1762, but did not remain. The usual reservations and restrictions incident to all the grants issued by Wentworth were made, and, like the others, became nullified by the Revolutionary war, but did not deprive the grantees of their rights nor take from them their homes, as was attempted by New York and our mother country during the land title controversy. TOWN OF PAWLET. 167 The surface is quite uneven and mountainous in most parts, yet between the mountain ranges there remain considerable tracts of level fertile land. Through the middle of the town, from north to south, extends a high range of mountains, cutting the territory into a natural division of east and west town, Haystack Mountain, in the north part, and extending into Wells, being the principal elevation of the range, and much resorted to by pleasure parties. Indian Hill, also, lying in the north-western part, is a considerable elevation. The principal stream is Pawlet River, which enters the south-east corner of the township from Bennington County, and flows in a serpentine course, a north-westerly direction, to Wood Creek, in New York, and thence to Lake Champlain ; it contains numerous tributaries, of which Flower Brook, enter ing from Danby, is the largest, and nearly all of sufficient size to afford good mill-sites, many of which are occupied. The rocks in the western part are of the Georgia slate deposit, while the eastern portion is composed of talcoid schist, cut by a considerable bed of limestone, and containing some available deposits of roofing-slate and mar ble. The soil of the town is mostly susceptible of cultivation, even to the tops of the mountains, all but two or three of which can be tilled to their summits, while many fields that cannot be plowed make excellent pastures. On the banks of the larger streams are alluvial deposits of rare fertility, and con stantly enriched by periodical overflows. A large proportion of the soil is gravelly loam intermingled with slate, and well adapted to the growth of all grain raised in this latitude. The timber is that common to the surrounding towns ; the forests, however, becoming rapidly thinned, the inevitable result of the populous growth of a community. Lumbering is carried on to some extent, while the rich saccharine of the maple is largely utilized in the manufacture of sugar, which receives a ready market in localities less favored in this respect, finding, to gether with the other exports of the town, a convenient avenue for transport ation in the Rutland and Washington Railroad, which enters the town from Rupert, extending thence to West Pawlet, and thence nearly on the line of the State, to Granville, N. Y. In 1880 Pawlet had a population of 1,698, was divided into eleven school districts and contained eleven common schools, employing four male and nineteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $1,742.02. There were 350 pupils attending common school, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending Oct 31st, was $1,967.02, with Mr. Edward I. Vail, superin tendent. Pawlet, a post village located on Flower Brook, near the center of the town, contains two churches, (Meth. and Cong.,) one grist-mill, saw-mill, cheese-box manufactory, cheese factory, a fork handle and baby carriage stock factory, six stores, one hotel, two blacksmith shops, wagon shop, harness shop etc. 1 68 TOWN OF PAWLET.

H. W. Edger ton's apiary, located near the central part of the town, on road 12, was established in 1875, since which time he has been increasing the business yearly, until he now keeps about 75 swarms of bees, raising some $200 worth of " seeds" and $800 worth of honey yearly. Red Mill, located in the central part of the town, was built in 1876, by Geo. F. Hammond, who now does custom work there, operating two runs of stones. Mont Verd Slate Quarry, situated in the north-west part of the town, was opened by Bardwell & Jones in 1870. In July, 1873, Evans & Williams were proprietors, and since August, 1877, the quarry has been operated by William J. Evans, who acquired his partner's interest, and who employs 15 to 20 men, and produces 20 to 30 squares of sea-green roofing slate per day. Welch's slate quarry, situated in the western part of the town, was opened by Robert Stevens in 187 1, and is now operated by M. Welch, of Granville, N. Y., producing about 200 squares of sea-green slate per month. Hugh J. Williams' slate quarry, situated in the north-west part of the town, was opened in 1877, and now operated by Mr. Williams of Granville, N. Y., who produces 100 squares per month. Wood's saw-mill, located in the west part of the town, on Pawlet River, was built by W. B. Wood, of Granville, N. Y, in 1881, and has the capacity for cutting 6,000 feet of lumber per day, and also manufactures chair stock, lath, etc. Goodspeed's cider mill, located on road 14, was built by Peter Goodspeed, and has the capacity for manufacturing 10 barrels of cider per day.

Indian Hill Slate Company was organized in 1876, consisting of Owen and Even Evens. The quarry is situated at West Pawlet, and yields about 7,000 squares of slate per year. Pawlet Woolen Company, E. Colvin & Son, proprietors, was organized in 1846 by Asa S. Jones, the present company being formed in 1877. Their factory is located on road 32, two miles south of Pawlet, where they manu facture into cloth, about 25,000 lbs. of wool each year, employing eight hands. The Leach Cheese Factory, located in the south part of the town, on road 30, was established by a stock company in 1846, and is now owned by Wm. Leach, who uses the milk from 175 cows per year in the manufacture of cheese. Pawlet Cheese Factory, located at Pawlet, was established in 1865 by R. C. Wickham, and is now owned and operated by M. E. Wheeler, and uses the milk from 500 cows, manufacturing 1,000 pounds of cheese per day. Blakely's cheese factory, located in the north-east part of the town, on road 23, uses the milk from about 400 cows. Settlement was begun in this town by Simeon Burton and Wm. Fairfield, the former receiving fifty, and the latter thirty acres of land, donated by the proprietors to them in 1768, as first and second settlers of the township. The earliest record extant of any town-meeting, bears date July 29th, 1768, at which meeting Reuben Harmon was moderator and Simeon Burton, clerk. The first grist-mill was erected by Remember Baker, about the year 1768, and was located on Wells Brook. This was soon after followed by one on Flower Brook, built by Wm. Bradford, and not long after this, one was erected on the present site of the Red Mill, built by Col. Samuel Willard, in 1783. The first hotel was kept by Capt. Jonathan Willard, on the site of the present homestead of Henry Allen. In 1814 a cotton-mill was erected on Flower Brook, by the Pawlet Manufacturing Co., which was successfully operated for thirty years, and the only cotton mill ever erected in the county. The building was 70 feet long by 39 feet wide and three stories high, and manufactured heavy cotton goods and warps. The machinery of the mill, power-looms and all, were made on the spot by Nathaniel Robinson, an ingenious mechanic. Indian Hill, located in the western part of the town, is accredited with being the scene of a battle between the French and English, the latter force under the command of Gen. Putnam. It is said Putnam was ordered from Fort 170 TOWN OF PAWLET. Edward to the east, to dislodge a body of French and Indians who were lurk ing in the vicinity of Lake St. Catherine. The battle or skirmish is supposed to have occurred in June, 1785, upon the farm now owned by Marshall Brown, the English losing two men, who were buried near a large rock upon the battle field. In 1880, Mr. Brown cleared a spot of ground upon the hill, upon which he built a log house or lodge, commanding an excellent view. On the 2d of September a celebration was held, at which two or three thous and people were present, and Mr. Henry Clark, of Rutland, delivered an oration. The town hall of Pawlet was commenced in June, 1881, the foundation being 40x60 feet and three stories high. The first story and 40x44 feet of the second story belongs to M. Wheeler, while the other portion of the second story is used as a town clerk's office, and the third story for a town hall, each party building and owning the portion they occupy.

It is bounded north by Rochester, east by Stockbridge, in Windsor County, and west by Chittenden ; chartered July 29, 1781, by Thomas Chit tenden, Governor of Vermont, to Samuel Wilcox, Daniel Kinne, Josiah Wright, and their associates to the number of 130, and contained 34,000 acres, being represented as containing land equal to a township and a half, At the first proprietors' meeting, held at Danby, in December, 1781, a com mittee was appointed to lay out and allot the township, which was accordingly done, allowing each proprietor 52 $ acres, and a like number of acres to each public reservation. In 1787 another allotment of 40 acres was made to each proprietor, whereon it was discovered by a survey, that by reason of the towns of Stockbridge and Chittenden overreaching their charter bounds, they had left lying between them, instead of the original large town of Pittsfield, only a gore of land not exceeding in size half a township. At a meeting held Sept. 25 th of this same year, Asa Whitcomb and Charles Goodrich were appointed as their agents to obtain redress from the Legislature for the loss of their lands. But all the satisfaction they obtained was, that " the land was there, and they must look it up." This led to many lawsuits, and much litigation ensued for years ; but the settlers were finally defeated and lost their land, hence it is that Pittsfield now ranks, in point of size, as one of the smallest townships in the county. The town was not organized until March 26, 1793, the meeting being then held at the house of Daniel Atkins, where George Martin was chosen mod erator ; Thomas Hodgkins, town clerk ; George Martin, Stephen Holt and Joseph Adams, selectmen ; Daniel Bow, treasurer ; Anthony Whitcomb, first constable ; Daniel Atkins, sealer of leather ; Stephen Holt and William Da vis, grand jurymen. The surface is mountainous and broken, the most considerable elevation being Wilcox Peak, so named by Samuel Wilcox, one of the original pro prietors, who once attempted to ascend its summit, but failed on account of weariness, and christened it after himself. The soil is irrigated by numerous ' springs and* several streams, two of which, from the south and west, unite in TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. 173 the eastern part of the town, forming Tweed River, which flows an easterly course, and is discharged into White River, in Stockbridge. These streams afford several good mill privileges, and together with White River, which flows across the north-eastern corner of the town, are the largest in the town ship, though there are several of minor importance. Along these streams and in the mountain valleys are found many excellent farms, the soil being mostly a sandy loam, somewhat stony. On the hills the farms were at one time quite productive, but are now rather sterile, owing, probably, to the fact that many farmers have of late years neglected their farms and given their attention to lumbering, which they consider more lucrative ; perhaps it may also be attributed to the decrease of the annual deposit of vegetable matter as the forests become thinner. The timber is principally beech, birch and maple, interspersed with spruce, hemlock and ash. From the maple a large quantity of sugar is manufactured each year, which is exported to localities less fortunate in this respect, and forms quite an item in the commerce of the town ; this, with horses, cattle, swine and lumber, form the principal exports. Iron ore in abundance, and of a rare quality, was discovered here by J. J. Saltery, in 1877. Mr. Saltery was at the time prospecting near Gaysville, and the presence of fine ore-sands in the soil, river-beds, and general alluvial deposits, induced him to extend his explorations along the White River to the intersection of the Tweed, thence up this branch to Pittsfield, where the pre dominating debris and masses of rocks indicated the near presence of an actual deposit of ore. Following from Pittsfield the west branch of the Tweed, a distance of about two miles, near the Chittenden line, the ore was found in actual deposit, bearing a course north-west and south-east at an angle of 560. In 1878 a further examination showed that the principal for mation consisted of gneiss, serpentine, slate, lime, silica and mica, impregna ted with the crystalization of iron, which formed stratified belts, bodies and veins, of various dimensions and percentages. The ore is of a sandy nature, and is therefore easily crushed and separated, and yields from twenty to sixty per cent, of magnetic ore. In 1880 Pittsfield had a population of 555, was divided into four schooll districts and had five common schools, employing two male and eight female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $536.00. There were 133 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost for schools for the year was $576.05, with S. C. Gibbs, superintendent. Pittsfield, a post village located in the south-eastern part of the town, is the only settlement of any considerable size. It contains forty dwellings, two churches, (M. E. and Cong.) two stores, two hotels, a school-house and several carriage, blacksmith and carpenter shops, etc., and has a population of about 200. Ray Durkee's button factory, located on road 8, is operated by steam power and employs fifteen hands. There are manufactured here 100 gross of ivory and horn buttons daily. Mr. Durkee has also machinery for iron and wood-turning and general machine work. 174 TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. A. N Hayes1 saw-mill, located on road 19, is operated by water-power, using one lumber-saw, one clap-board saw, two planers and several smaller saws. He employs twelve' men, and manufactures 900,000 feet of lumber and 500,000 feet of clap-boards per annum. G. H. Ramsey's saw-mill, located on road 10, is operated by water-power, employs twelve men, and manufactures 1,000,000 feet of lumber and 500,000 feet of clap-boards per year. Brigham &» Atwood' s saw-mill, located at Pittsfield, is operated by water- power, has one lumber and one band saw, one board and one clap-board planer, employs eight men, and manufactures 800,000 feet of lumber and 600,000 feet of clapboards yearly. C. A. Brown' s grist-mill, located at Pittsfield, was built by ¦ -Spaulding, some fifty years ago. Mr. Brown does quite a business there, but mostly custom work. In 1867 Brigham, Houghton & Co. built a large steam mill near the village, designing to cut, not only all kinds of lumber, but also chair-stock. They had scarcely got the building well filled with suitable machinery, how ever, when it took fire and was entirely consumed, causing a loss to the proprietors of some $2,000 over and above the insurance. A company was formed March 4th, 1880, duly incorporated at Hartford, Conn., for the purpose of manufacturing iron from the ore found in Pittsfield, with a capital stock of $2,500,000, divided into 25,000 shares at $100 each. Four directors were chosen, as follows : — J. J. Saltery, of Pittsfield, Vt, president ; Harvey K. Flagler, of Boston, secretary and treasurer ; Edward L. Chaffee and Charles W. Boutwell, directors. Operations for the develop ment of the ore deposits were commenced March 29th, 1880. Buildings for crushing and concentrating the ores with necessary machinery were erected, roads made from the mines through the valley to the coal kilns and other sec tions connected with the works. The property owned by the White River Iron Co. was purchased, consisting of about 1400 acres, all bearing the ore in its different stratifications, and covered with a fine growth of timber. The ore is mostly quarried, and brought to the reduction works for crushing and separating. It is then ready for use at the furnace, for which a foundation for eight fires has been made, which, when completed, will produce about ten tons of blooms or billets per day, allowing, an average of two tons of con centrated ore to one ton of metalic iron, at a cost of about $35 per ton, in cluding freight to Bethel. The products of the above mentioned are char coal blooms and billets, especially adapted to the manufacture of a fine grade of steel, by the open-hearth furnace, or by the use of the crucible, for fine tool-steel, &c. There are but few instances in which iron ore is found im pregnated in gneiss formation, showing so large a per centage, and an oxide of so pure a nature as in this case. There is no question of its eventually taking rank with the best steel in this and other countries. This company, when its works are all completed, will form quite a valuable acquisition to the township. TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. 1 75 The first settlement of Pittsfield was commenced in 1786, by Daniel and Jacob Bow ; Daniel settling on the farm now occupied by Daniel Avery, and Jacob, where Artemas Hunt now resides. The same year Thomas Hodgkins settled on the farm now owned by Royal Tupper, and George Martin on the farm owned by Granville Farewell. (The last two farms have been set off to the town of Rochester.) About this time Stephen Holt, familiarly known as Gov. Holt, settled on the farm now occupied by John Sawyer. Among the other early settlers were Lucius Kibbe, Simon Cleave- land, John Gaines, Dr. Tucker, David Lovette, David Daly, Uzziah Green, Jonas Stowe, Ebbe Durkee, David, Alba and Timothy Durkee. The first inhabitant of what is now the village, was Uzziah Green, who lived in a poor log-house, between where the school-house and Congregational church now stands. The first mills in town were built about 1780, by Charles Goodrich, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, who received from the proprietors a right of land for building them. They also gave him the privilege of naming the town, which he did. He built a saw and grist mill about where Brigham & Atwood's and Brown's mills now stand. The crank for the saw mill, weighing 200 pounds, was brought from Pittsford, a distance of twelve miles, by two men carrying it on their shoul ders. Goodrich also built the first frame house in town, which was not only used for a dwelling, but also as a school-house and place for public meetings, this being the first school kept in the town. Daniel Bow built and kept the first tavern, a one-story log structure, located on the farm now owned by David Avery. The nearest post office was at Rutland, fifteen miles distant, the mail being brought on foot once a week, the neighbors taking turns at the task. The first store was kept by Asa Gaines. The first tan nery was built and operated by David Daly. It was located on the site now occupied by Henry Adams' blacksmith shop, and was afterwards removed to the spot where Mr. Caryl's house now stands. The first physician located in the town was Josiah H. Phelps, of Connecticut, who settled in the town in 1823. Bears, wolves and deer were plenteous in the heavy forests, and the former were a constant source of annoyance to the early settlers, it being almost impossible for them to keep any sheep. David Daly moved from Windham, Conn., to Pittsfield, in 1789. He built a house where Henry Adams' now stands, and a tannery where Mr. Adams' shop now is. This was the first and only tannery ever built in the town. Mr. Daly afterward owned the farm where Wm. Davis now resides, which he cleared and on which he built a large frame house. In 1791 he married Martha Call, by whom he had a large family of children. For a number of years Mr. Daly was justice of the peace, and held several other offices in the town. An incident in his life will illustrate the hardships the early settlers were obliged to undergo : Being in want of a grind-stone, Daly, in company with a man named Waller, started one morning, afoot, for Pittsford, taking their dinner, done up in a handkerchief, with them. On reaching the top of 176 TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. the mountain they hung their dinner on the branches of a tree, to be eaten on their return. They hastened down to Pittsford, bought a grind-stone weighing 100 lbs., with a crank attached, and started with it for home. For a time they tried to carry the stone by the crank, one taking each end ; but at last, becoming disgusted with this mode of procedure, they broke the crank and threw it away, putting a stick through the centre of the stone in its place, but as Waller was tall and Daly short, the stone kept slipping toward Daly ; however, with good pluck they persevered till they reached the spot where they had left their dinner, when, to their disappointment, they found it had been devoured by some animal, all but a few dry crusts. These the hungry men quickly disposed of and plodded on, reaching home in the night, having traveled between twenty-five and thirty miles. Mr. Daly operated his tannery until his death, at the age of seventy-six. Benjamin Blossom immigrated to Pittsfield in 1796, settling where the vil lage now stands. He was employed by Mr. Goodrich as miller for the ten years following. Wm. R. Blossom, who is at present a resident of Pittsfield, was at the time his father came to the town, only seven years old, and the youngest of a large family of children. At this time the site of the present village was almost an unbroken forest, and the town was so sparsely settled that Mr. B. can remember the name of nearly every family that then resided in the town. William's only education was thus obtained at the district school. At the age of thirteen he worked six months for Mr. Goodrich, for the sum of $4.50 per month, the wages to go toward paying for thirty acres of land, then covered with timber, lying about a mile west of the village. For three years more young Blossom worked as he could to pay for his land, his mother and himself being quite anxious to own a farm. When he was sev enteen he took his axe and his little pail of dinner and began the labor of felling the trees to make himself a farm. The next year he succeeded in getting up a house, to which he moved his father and mother, and where he resided until he removed, a few years ago, to a house standing on the very place where he lived when he first came to Pittsfield. When eighteen years of age he was elected corporal of the militia company, and at twenty-one was chosen lister, and the next year one of the selectmen. Since that time Mr. B. has held every office in the town, both civil and military, excepting that of treasurer. He now enjoys good health, in the 92d year of his age. During the year 1786, Stephen Holt, of Hampton, Conn., immigrated to Pittsfield, settling on the farm now occupied by John Sawyer, having obtained the land by allotment, or at a cost of four cents per acre. This was the first farm settled within the present limits of the town. The land was covered with a dense growth of heavy timber at the time Mr. Holt took possession, but in a short time, however, he had cleared off a number of acres, and by aid of his wife, Hannah Gear, of Hampton, built comfortable buildings, and set out an orchard, which, for size and thrift, is probably not surpassed by any in town to-day. TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. 1 77 Mr. Holt was in the battle of Bennington, and when the war of 1812 broke out he enlisted and was at the battle of Plattsburgh. He had a family of six children, and with the aid of his boys, enlarged his farm from fifty to four- hundred and fifty acres. In his old age a brother in Connecticut died, leav ing him $7,000. On receiving news of this bequest, Stephen set out for Connecticut, with a horse and wagon, secured his money and brought it to Pittsfield in a bag, lying in the bottom of his wagon. When staying over night at hotels he threw his harness over the bag of gold, this being the only precaution he took. Mr. Holt died at the age of ninety, leaving several sons, three of whom were captains of militia. Erastus Holt was born at Hampton, Conn., September 8th, 1777. He re moved to Pittsfield at twenty-three years of age, in the year 1800, and settled on the farm now owned by William Swift. Here Mr. Holt built a log house and out-buildings and cleared off the farm. The year after he settled in town he married Sallie Parmenter, of Pittsfield, by whom he had a family of nine girls and three boys, all but one of whom married at maturity. He practised law considerably, and was proverbial for a number of years as being the best legal man in the town. He represented the town in the general assembly seven consecutive years at one time, and eight years at another ; attended three constitutional conventions and was justice of peace thirty-two years. During the last eighteen years of his life he was confined to his bed by inflammatory rheumatism. Died March 28th, 1875, aged 98 years. There are now no soldiers of the Revolution, nor of the war of 1812, liv ing, except William R. Blossom. During the late war of 1861-65, the town furnished 32 men as their quota of soldiers. Lester Bard was killed at Gettysburg; Freeman Brown, at Fredericksburg; Frank Swan and John Shannon missing since Sheridan's fight in the Shenandoah valley ; Blanchard died in hospital near Washington ; Francis A. Gibbs died in a rebel prison, at Florence, S. C. The town has paid its expenses of the war and is clear of debt. Until the year 1800 there was but one school district in town, and the people built a large school-house near where Joel Ramsey now resides, which was used for schools, town-house and meeting-house for a number of years. The Congregational Church, located at Pittsfield village, was organized September 17, 1803, by the Rev. Martin Fuller, of Royalston, with a mem bership of sixteen and Justin Parsons as first pastor. The church building was erected in 1820, is a modest affair, capable of accommodating 200 persons, and cost $1,000. The church property is at present valued at $2,000. It has now about fifty memhers, with no settled minister. The M. E. Church of Pittsfield was organized by Joseph Crawford in 1802, then having a membership of eight ; Mr. Crawford was their first pastor. In 1830 the first house of worship was erected, which was followed in 1859 by the present edifice, a neat structure, capable of seating 250 persons, and -is 178 TOWN OF PITTSFORD. cost $2,615;. but the value of the church property has since decreased, so that the whole .property is now valued at only $2,200. The society at present has a membership of ninety, with the Rev. J. W. Hitchcock, pastor. ^WITTSFORD, a northern central town, in lat. 43 ° 43' and long. 40 3' east "KEf from Washington, is bounded north by Brandon, east by Chittenden, W south by Rutland and west by Hubbardton and a small part of Ira, con taining an area of about thirty-six square miles, originally granted to Ephraim Doolittle and sixty-three others, by Benning Wentworth, on the 1 2th of Octo ber, 1761, the charter containing the usual reservations common to all the Wentworth grants. The name was derived from a ford on Otter Creek, named in honor of William Pitt, then prime minister of England. The surface, in the central part of the town, along the valley of Otter Creek, is level and quite productive, containing many beautiful farms ; while the eastern and western portions are hilly and less fertile, though containing much good grazing land. The territory is watered by Otter Creek, which flows through the central part of the town from south to north, having many tribu taries, of which Furnace Brook is the largest. Along these streams are mead ows of rich alluvial soil, while that in other parts of the town is generally loam, with some tracts which are sandy, and some of clay. The rocks are principally of the eolian limestone deposit, containing some excellent quarries of marble. Iron ore is abundant, and manganese is found in some locali ties. The timber is oak, pine, maple, beech, birch, elm, walnut, poplar &c, and lumbering is carried on to some extent, while from the maple large quantities of sugar are manufactured each year. The Central Vermont Rail road passes through the middle of the town from north to south. In 1880 Pittsford had a population of 1,983, was divided into fourteen school districts and contained fourteen common schools, employing two male and twenty female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2,132.80. Therewere 286 pupils attending, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending Oct. 31st, was $2,424.44, with Mr. Isaac H. Hall, superintendent. Pittsford, a post village, beautifully located a little east of the center of the town, is composed of three sections, locally known as Pittsford, Hitch- cockville and Pittsford Mills, which once were separate settlements, but as they increased in size, gradually approached until they united. It contains four churches, several mercantile and manufacturing interests, a number of fine residences and a good hotel ; nearly a mile west of the village is a sta tion of the C. V. Railroad. F. W. Smith dv Co's marble quarry is located in the western part of the town, about three quarters of a mile from the C. V. R. R, with which it is connected by a branch track. The deposit of marble at this place is of ex cellent quality, the belt being from 400 to 600 feet in width and a mile and a TOWN OF PITTSFORD. 1 79 half in length. The quarry is ioo by 400 feet, and^n its first year, 1880, produced and exported upwards of 26,000 cubic feet of sound marble. The stock of this belt or deposit having been quite extensively used for the last twenty years, is rapidly growing in popularity, the company now giving em ployment to seventy-five men, running five steam stone cutting machine, and producing marble at the rate of about 100,000 cubic feet per year, which amount they expect to exceed in the future. The property of the old Central Vermont Marble Co., located on the farm occupied by Geo. H. Osborn, has not been worked for the last five years, but is now under prospect of reorganization. J. B. Frankly ti s pulp and paper-mill, located at Pittsford Mills, is operated by water-power, and employs from 1 2 to 20 men, manufacturing two tons of pulp and paper daily. J. H Peabody's sheepskin moccasin, mitten and glove manufactory, located at Pittsford, was established in i860, and for a long time was the only manu factory of the kind in the county. He is now doing a large business. Wm. B. Sargent s wagon-shop, located on road 45, is operated by water- power, and employs four men. He has also a custom grist-mill in connection with the shop. The Titan Furnace, located on road 15, owned and operated by Naylor & Co., of Boston, Mass., is run by both steam and water-power, and engaged in the manufacture of pig-iron. It employs 21 men, consumes 1,200 bushels of coal, producing ten tons of iron per day. Edson' s saw-mill, located at East Pittsford, was originally built in 1797, and is now owned by W. E. Edson, who manufactures here about 100,000 feet of lumber per annum. About eight years after the granting of Pittsford, 1769, the first settlement was commenced by Gideon and Benjamin Cooley, from Greenwich, Mass., who were soon after joined by Roger Stevens, Felix Powell, Ebenezer Hop kins, Stephen Mead, Moses Olmsted, Edward Owen, Joshua Woodward and others, from Massachusetts and Connecticut, so that at the time of the Rev olutionary war there were over thirty families settled in the town, and at the time of the first call upon Pittsford for troops, there were within the limits of the town 38 families and about 195 inhabitants. But few of the men entered the regular service of the United States, but formed themselves into an inde pendent company, numbering some forty members, which was frequently called out on occasions of alarm. Pittsford being a frontier town was partic ularly exposed to attack by the British and Indians, the latter having in some instances attacked families whom they either killed or carried into captivity, so the inhabitants at an early date took measures to protect themselves as much as possible. Accordingly, in 1777, a fort was constructed. on the east bank of Otter Creek, called Fort Mott, in honor of John Mott, who frequent ly acted as commander. This fort, however, proved insufficient security for the people, so in 1779 they determined to build another of superior strength. TOWN OF PITTSFORD. The site was selected about a mile north-east of Fort Mott, and the fort com pleted in June, 1780, and kept garrisoned until the close of the war. Soon after its completion, it was christened " Fort Vengeance," in record of a vow made by the inmates against the Indians for killing one of their number, Calek Houghton. The fort at Centre Rutland was made the principal depot of supplies for the troops in this section of the State, and from which the ammunition and provisions were conveyed to the forts at East Rutland, Castleton and Pitts ford, as they were needed. But it was found inconvenient to get supplies at Pittsford, on account of there being no bridge across Otter Creek at this place. Accordingly the General Assembly passed an act in 1780, that one should be built, which was done, being the first bridge erected over Otter Creek in the township, and stood near the present Gorham bridge, being built under the superintendence of Benjamin Cooley. In 1785 this was fol lowed by another bridge, just below the former, and was called the " Mead bridge." The first grist mill was erected in 1772, by Samuel Crippen ; previous to this the settlers had been obliged to carry their grain to Bennington and Charlestown to get it ground, a distance of about sixty miles. The most popular mode of grinding, however, had been that of crushing the grain in a mortar in the Indian style. The second grist mill was built at the mouth of Stevens' Brook, in 1774, or early in 1775, by Roger Stevens, Jr. The third was built in 1783, on Furnace Brook, by Elder Elisha Rich. The first saw-mill was built about the year 1774, by Jonathan Fas- sett, and was located on Mill Brook. In the year 1800, Amos Weller and Anthony Butler built a saw mill on the brook near Mr. Butler's house, and during the same year mills were erected by Stephen Jenner, David Cross, and Benjamin and Caleb Cooley. The first fulling mill and works for dressing cloth were erected by Noel Avery, in 1796, located on Ripley Brook, some twenty-five rods above its entrance into Fur nace Brook. The first tannery was carried on by Nathaniel Kingsley, who was located in school district No. 2, in 1785. A furnace for smelting iron ore was erected in the town upon the present site of the furnace in Furnace village, by Israel Keith, from Easton, Mass., in 1791, the ore being mostly brought from Chittenden, a distance of two miles, and yielded a fair per cent, of good iron, which found a ready sale. The present furnace has passed through a number of hands, and a portion of the. time been closed, until now it is operated by Naylor & Co., of Boston. In 1827, a foundry was started by Cyrus Gibbs and John Cooley, located near the mouth of Ripley Brook, and was long known as the " Pocket Fur nace." This was followed by another in 1829, built by Simeon Granger & Sons, near the blast furnace. The first marble quarry in the town was opened by Jeremiah Sheldon, in 1795, and was subsequently sold to William Barnes in 1802. Most of the TOWN OF PITTSFORD. marble used for monuments and building purposes at that early day was taken from this quarry. The town records were accidentally destroyed by fire at an early date, so it is not known just at what time the town was organized, but probably about the year 1770, one year after the first settlement. According to the present records, Jonathan Fassett was the first Representative, serving during 1778, '83 and '84. The first white child born in Pittsford was a daughter of Felix Powell, the exact date of her birth not being known, but probably about 1770. The child lived but a few weeks. The first male child was Alfred, son of Isaac and Elizabeth Buck, born March 28, 1771, who grew to manhood, became a useful citizen, and died May 23, 1842, leaving several children. There was but one public house in the town before the Revolutionary war. This was kept by Samuel Waters, on the west side of the creek, near the military road. At what time it was opened for the accommodation of travel ers cannot now be determined, though it was known as a public house in 1774. Mr. Waters kept this house till about the time of Burgoyne's invasion, in 1777, when he fled with his family to Shaftsbury, where he afterwards died. The first public house after the war was kept by Dea. Caleb Hendee, on the site of Fort Vengeance. On his return from Clarendon, in 1782, he repaired his house, and the following year opened it as a tavern, and continued it as such until 1 808, when it was closed to the public. There are four burial grounds in the town. The first was laid out in 1785, though the proprietors intended the ground for burial purposes long before it was regularly laid out, as it was thus used almost from the first instances of mortality in the township. The inclosure contains two acres, and is located on the west side of the road, south-west of the Baptist meeting-house. It is not known whose remains were first interred, but the oldest there is any record of is that of Hannah, wife of Ebenezer Drury, who died December 12, 1777, in the 35th year of her age. There was a burial ground, at a very early day, on the west side of the creek, on land formerly owned by James Hopkins. It is situated on the east side of the road, some six or eight rods north of three fragments of a large boulder, which are conspicuously seen from the road. It was used for this purpose previous to 1785. The present cemetery, located a little east of the village, covers an area of about six acres, finely laid out and improved, until now it is a beautiful spot for burying the dead. It was dedicated on the 4th of July, 1857. Gideon Cooley was born in the year 1737, and at the commencement of the French war enlisted as a soldier in the cause of his country, and during his service passed through this township several times, and each time became more and more impressed with its beauty and fertility, and after his term of enlistment was over, procured a right of Capt. Doolittle, free, providing he would settle upon it and make improvements. So in company with his brother, Benjamin, he came to Pittsford in May, 1767, made some improve- TOWN OF PITTSFORD. ments and planted grain that year, and the year following brought his family, forming the first settlement of the township, where they resided many years ; several of their descendants are residents of the town now. Roger Stevens came soon after Cooley, building a grist-mill at the mouth of Stevens' Brook, in 1774. At the breaking out of the war he espoused the cause of England, and his property was confiscated under the proscription act. After the war he settled in Canada, near the Rideau River, in which, some years later, he was drowned while shooting ducks. His wife did not long survive him. Felix Powell settled here in 1770, and built a small house on land formerly owned by Isaac C. Wheaton, where he resided many years, his daughter being the first white child born in the township, as previously mentioned. James Hopkins came to Pittsford in the summer of 1769, and was so well pleased with the township that he purchased two rights of Felix Powell, a part of which he pitched on the east side of Otter Creek and a part on the west side ; early in the following spring he brought his family and began improvements upon his farm. Richard M. Powers, from Greenwich, Mass., settled in Pittsford about 1800, on road 46, then known as the "Market Road," from the fact of its being the great highway to and from Troy, where he lived until he died. Mr. Powers was a farmer. He married Polly Carpenter, of Wilbraham, Mass., and raised thirteen children, seven boys and six girls. Seven of his children are now living. His youngest son, Artemus C, lives on the old homestead, near Sutherland Falls. A continuation of the Sutherland Falls marble de posit extends across his land, one hundred and forty rods. Nicholas M., an other son, lives in Clarendon, and is a bridge-builder of note. He and his son laid out the wood work of the Philadelphia & Baltimore Railroad bridge across the Susquehanna, at Havre-de-Grace, Md., and of many other important bridges. Caleb Houghton, who was killed by an Indian, July 15, 1780, was the only man killed on Pittsford soil in the defence of his country. In 1873 a monument was erected to his memory by the citizens of Pittsford, bearing the following inscription : — " Fort Vengeance, erected in 1780, stood here. Pittsford Company, 1778 — Capt, Benjamin Cooley; Lieut, Moses Olmsted; Ensign, James Hopkins; Sergeants, Silas Mosher, David Crippen and Samuel Ellsworth; Clerk, John Barnes; Corporals, Jas. Stevens, Asahel Stevens, Aaron Parsons. Erected by the town of Pittsford, dedicated Aug. 28, 1873. Caleb Houghton, born at Bolton, Mass., 1780, member of Capt. Safford's Co., Major Allen's detachment, stationed at this fort, killed by an Indian one- half mile south, July 15, 1780. His re mains removed here in Aug., 1873." Pittsford Congregational Church, located at Pittsford, was organized by its first pastor, Eleazer Harwood, and fourteen others, on April 14, 1784, and TOWN OF POULTNEY. 1 83 was the first church organized in the town. Services were held in private houses until about the year 1790, when they were usually held in a school- house which stood a few rods south of the old Penfield house; but when the town-house was completed in 1795, they were held in that building. The present building was commenced in 1835, and finished so that it was dedi cated in July :8, 1837. In 1879-80 a commodious lecture room was built and a fine organ erected, at a total expense of $4,500.00, the structure now being capable of comfortably accommodating 600 persons. The society numbers 233 members, under the pastoral care of Rev. C. C. Mclntire. The Pittsford Baptist Church, located at Pittsford village, was originally organized Dec. 2, 1784, by Elisha Rich and six others, Elder Rich being the first pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1785, and occupied till 1795, when the town-house was used. In 1802 the present building was erected, and was kept up a few years; when the society disbanded and the edifice was fast going to ruins, till in 1841 the society was reorganized with fourteen members, and the building remodeled and improved, so that it is now a neat structure, with seating room for 160 persons. The society now has 90 members, with Rev. M. M. Mills, pastor. The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Pittsford village, was organ ized in 1799, by Elder McLain, with four members.

HfOULTNEY is located in the western part of the county, in lat. 440 32' RB? and long. 30 54' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Castle- *Jr ton, east by Middletown and Ira, south by Wells, and West by Hamp ton, in New York, and a part of Fairhaven. It was chartered by Benning Wentworth, the "Royal Governor of New Hampshire," September 21, 1761, and contained an area of 23,040 acres, or six miles square, bounded in said charter as follows : — " Beginning at the north-west corner of Wells, a township lately granted in this province, and from thence running due north six miles ; thence turning off at right angles, and running due east, six miles ; thence turning at right angles, and running due west, by Wells aforesaid, to the north-west corner thereof, being the bounds begun at." 184 TOWN OF POULTNEY. On the 28th of October, 1784, 2,388 acres were taken from Poultney to wards forming the town of Middletown, and again on the 31st day of Octo ber, 1798, five thousand five hundred and forty-three acres were set to Poultney from the north part of Wells. Except from these changes the territory re mains as it was originally. The surface is pleasantly diversified by hills and vales, the highest eleva tions being Spruce Knob in the eastern, and Mount St. Catherine in the southern part, while the whole is rendered fertile and picturesque by numer ous small streams, containing some excellent mill-sites. Poultney River, the largest stream, and only considerable one in the town, enters from Middle- town, flows westerly to the western boundary line, whence it flows north on the said line for a short distance, and then turns westerly again and forms the line between Fairhaven and the State of New York. Lake St. Catherine, or Lake Austin, extends from Wells, on the south, to nearly the centre of Poult ney, and is the only sheet of water in the township, with the exception of a small pond in the north-western part, which is not deemed of sufficient im portance to receive other than a purely local name. The soil is warm and productive, especially along Poultney River, where are found alluvial flats of rare fertility, though in some places quite consider ably mixed with gravel. The geological formation is mainly slate of .the Georgia slate deposit, containing many excellent quarries that are worked to a considerable extent, forming an important item in the wealth of the township. The timber is principally deciduous, consisting of elm, oak, pine and hem lock, and, on the higher lands, beech and maple predominating. But a remnant, however, is left of the grand old forest that densely covered the territory at the time of its first settlement. The Rutland & Washington Railroad enters the township from New York near the center of the west line, traversing the township in a north easterly direction, entering Castleton at about the center of its south line, thus forming a speedy and convenient mode of transportation for the products of the township. In 1880 Poultney had a population of 2,717, was divided into sixteen school districts, and contained eighteen common schools, employing three male and twenty-five female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2,658.30. There were 541 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 30th, was $2,965.93, with Mr. Calvin Granger, superintendent. Poultney, a post village and station on the Rutland & Washington Rail way, is a very handsome little town, pleasantly located, near the western border of the township, on Poultney River, and contains four churches, two banks, two hotels, several manufactories, and is the seat of the Troy Con ference Academy and of St John's Parish School. Troy Conference was organized in the year 1833. At its first session it was decided to build a Conference Academy. Poultney was selected as the IP %';i|bnH ¦Ml ^-^Ji a z HJD0 a. >2uQ< o< wo2 w04 III6. zo o >•o « i l : TOWN OF POULTNEY. 185 seat of the institution. The buildings were completed and opened for stu dents in September 1837. (See Illustration on opposite page.) The school, however, was opened a year earlier, in a house that stood on the Academy grounds, with Rev. Sabin S. Stocking as principal. From the first the num ber of students was large and the school took a high stand. The institution has been very fortunate in its Principals. They have been, without exception, men eminent in the Church. Stocking was succeeded by Rev. Daniel Curry, D. D. The third principal was Rev. James Cowel. The fourth, Jesse T. Peck, D. D., since Bishop, who served from 1840 to 1848. His successor was Rev. J. Newman, D. D., who held the position till 185 1, when he was called to a professorship in Union College. The next principals were Rev. Oran Flavilla and Jason O. Walker. Some of the subordinate teachers dur ing this time were James Strong, S. T. D., Rev. E. Wentworth, D. D., Pro fessor W. P. Codington, now of Syracuse University ; Rev. R. H. Howard and Rev. George G. Saxe. In 1855 the Academy passed out of the hands of the Conference. A considerable portion of the cost of the buildings had never been paid, and although the debt had been somewhat reduced, enough remained to prove a great embarrassment to the trustees. To rid themselves of this burden they gave a perpetual lease of the property to Rev. Joshua Poor. From 1855 to 1873 the school was conducted as a private enterprise. In 1863 Mr. Poor sold his interest to Rev. J. Newman, D. D., who changed the school to one for ladies only, under the name of Ripley Female College. Con vinced that the interests of education within its bounds demanded a school that should be conducted on broader principles than the private institutions they were compelled to patronize, the Conference in 1874 bought back the property, and the institution was re-chartered under the old name, Troy Con ference Academy. Rev. M. E. Cady, A. M., was principal till 1877, when he was succeeded by the present incumbent, Rev. C. H. Dunton, A. M. It has been the design of the trustees to make it a first-class college preparatory school, and the high rank taken in college by the young men prepared here, testifies to the success that is being achieved. Four other graduate courses are maintained. The management of the school was never more vigorous and successful than at present, the graduating class numbering fifteen. St. John's Parish School, located on Church street, was established by Rev. E. H. Randall in 1870, who invited all classes of children. Since that time it has been in successful operation, and is still conducted by Mr. Ran dall with an efficient corps of assistants, who have always maintained for the school an excellent reputation, both for instruction and discipline. The Bank of Poultney was chartered Oct. 29, 1820, with a capital of $100,- 000, and Merritt Clark, who still retains the position, was chosen cashier. The bank was reestablished under an act of Nov. 13, 1856, with a capital of $100,000. The First National Bank of Poultney was organized June 23, 1881, with a capital of $50,000. J. B.

It has been a decided success since its organization, in TOWN OF POULTNEY. 1 87 the fall of 1877, and steadily grown in usefulness. In the autumn it holds a fair, and in the winter, meetings, at which questions of interest are discussed in such a manner as to engage the attention of all classes. The purpose to maintain its high standing has been rigidly adhered to, and the result has shown that a fair without a horse-trot is not only possible, but really most successful.

Their wares are shipped principally to New York and Boston, although orders from the Central and Western States are frequently filled. TOWN OF RUTLAND. 1 99 The brick-yard of John L. Mclntyre was established in 1852, since which time he has furnished brick for many of the best business, public, and private buildings in Rutland and Bennington counties. He has an excellent clay-bed, as good perhaps as any in Vermont, and employs in his yard from twenty to thirty men. The Rutland Foundry and Machine Shop Co. was organized in 1862, for the purpose of building castings for heavy machinery, and the manufacture of car-wheels. The latter are in general use upon the Central Vermont, Connecticut River, Bennington & Rutland and other railroads. They cast annually about 1500 tons of iron and employ twenty men. The foundry is under the supervision of Mr. J. B. Harris, and the machine works under the management of the Charles P. Harris Manufacturing Co. The Charles P. Harris Manufacturing Co. was commenced in 1874, under the firm name of Charles P. Harris & Co. Previous to 1879 the business was devoted chiefly to the manufacture of doors, sash, blinds, mouldings, etc. ; but at that time the present firm name was adopted, and the manufacture of chairs, church wood- work, etc., added, also the business of the Rutland Nail Works, which the company purchased in 1877. They now employ about thirty men in the shops, in addition to some 200 persons who at their homes are engaged in bottoming cain-seat chairs. About 1,000,000 feet of lumber are consumed in the business annually. In the machine department a specialty is made of the manufacture of stone and iron-working machinery and general jobbing. D. M. White &° Co. — This-company was organized in 1870 for the purpose of carrying on the manufacture and sale of lumber. The first office was located near the freight depot, and removed to its present location on West street in 1875. The company has extensive steam-mills located in Mendon, Shrewsbury and Sherburne, where they manufacture large quantities of lumber, staves, lath, etc. They also do an extensive business in flour, feed, and Akron sewer-pipe. H. L. Verder cV Co's steam bakery, located on Centre street, was estab lished by Daniel Verder in 1853. The building occupied by the present firm was erected by them in 1868, and contains all the appliances of a model bakery. The business gives employment to eight men, who manu facture thirty- five barrels of crackers per day, in addition to a large quantity of bread, cake, etc. ' The White &¦ Haven Marble Manufactory. — The business of manufactur ing marble was commenced at this location in March, 1867, by George F. and S. C. White. S. C. White soon retired from the business, after which various parties were interested with George F., up to June, 1877, when Mr. Frank Haven became associated with him in the business. About 25 men are employed in the works at Rutland, and about 30 in the granite works at Fitzwilliam, N. H. They also employ a number of men at their quarries in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Red Beach, Me. Their sales on TOWN OF RUTLAND. manufactured goods shipped to the Western States amount to $100,000.00 per annum. Thayer 6r Co., shirt manufacturers, opened business at Rutland in August, 1880. The business had previously been carried on at Glens Falls, N. Y., by S. T. Thayer alone. Since the removal here business has increased so that more room was needed. Consequently Mr. J. M. Haven, of this firm, has just erected a building, 40x100 feet, and five stories in height, three floors of which are to be used for the shirt business, while the two upper stories are an addition to the Bates House. The firm expect to make from 50 to 75 dozen shirts per day. Levi Premo began the carriage and blacksmithing business on Wales street in the fall of 1876. He now employs eight men and manufactures about 50 wagons, of different styles, and 25 sleighs per annum. Samuel Terrill, with his father Ziba, had begun the carriage business on the hill in 1858. The business was established at its present location in 1859, and has since been conducted by Samuel." He employs 15 men and manufactures a large quantity of heavy and light wagons, carriages and sleighs, each year. Banks. The National Bank of Rutland was, chartered in 1824 under the name of "The Bank of Rutland," with a Capital of $50,000.00 and with Robt. Temple president, and William Page, cashier. It retained this name until 1866, when it was reorganized as a National Bank, assuming its present name, with a capi tal of $300,000.00, and Hon. John B. Page, president, Francis Slason, vice- president, and S. W. Rowell, cashier. Since this time the capital of the in stitution has increased to $500,000.00, with a surplus fund of $100,000.00. Mr. Slason, the present vice-president, has been connected with the institu tion ever since it was first organized, and was one of the original directors. Rutland Savings Bank. — This institution was incorporated in 1850, begin ning with a small deposit and gradually gaining the confidence of the com munity until it now has deposited in its care over $1,000,000.00. The first president and treasurer was Mr. Luther Daniels, who retained the position until 1879, having served with ability and honor a period of 29 years. Mr. Daniels was succeeded by Wm. M. Field, who still retains the position. Mr. Newton Kellogg is treasurer. The Rutland County National Bank was chartered as a. State Bank in 186 1, with a capital of $100,000.00. In 1865 it was reorganized as a National Bank, with a capital of $200,000.00. This is about its present capital, with a surplus fund of $75,000.00. William Y. Ripley, president, and James Mer rill, cashier, were the first officers of the institution. Mr. Ripley died Sep tember 27, 1875, and was succeeded by his son, William Y W. On June 10, 1867, Henry F. Field was elected cashier, to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of James Merrill, who resigned to accept the position of treasurer of the National Trust Company of New York city, where he died in 1873, while holding that office. TOWN OF RUTLAND. 201 The Baxter National Bank was organized in August, 1870, with a capital of $300,000, H. H. Baxter being president ; J. N. Baxter, vice-president ; and G. R. Bottum, cashier. The institution has at present a capital of $300,000, with a surplus fund of $54,000. The building is a handsome three-story structure with a mansard roof, built of pressed brick and iron trimmings, presenting a grand and imposing appearance, and cost about $80,000. The State Trust Co. of Rutland was organized June 3, capital of $100,000, and does a general banking business, Clement, president; John N. Woodfin, treasurer, and O. F. sistant treasurer. Educational. 1881, with a with Charles Harrison, as- Under an Act of the Legislature of Vermont in 1841, a union district was formed in the village of Rutland by the consent of the four districts, and (The Rutland High School.) I on the 6th of April, 1855, at a public meeting of the districts, the union was consummated, and soon after a high school was established. This organiza tion was in successful operation during a period of twelve years. But to give greater unity and efficiency to the school system, a vote was passed at a special meeting of the legal voters of the village, held February 20, 1867, whereby all the school districts in the village were consolidated into one district, to be called the Rutland Graded School District, which vote was legalized by the Legislature, March 28, 1867, and on the 9th day of April following, at an ad journed meeting of the legal voters of the village, the organization of the Graded School District was completed by the election of officers. TOWN OF RUTLAND. The High School building was erected in 1852, but was rebuilt and en larged in 1879, so that the village now has a school building it may well be proud of. It is beatifully located on a hill near the head of Center street commanding a fine view, at the same time receiving the benefit of the health ful air of the higher land. It is a handsome commodious structure, built of pressed brick, with stone trimmings, and well ventilated. It also contains a library of about 2,000 rare volumes, which are kept in a room nicely and appropriately furnished for that purpose. The school has also valuable ap paratus for astronomical and philosophical illustration, the whole being under charge of the principal, Oscar Atwood, M. A. Including the High School, there are five school buildings in the Graded School District, employing nineteen teachers. Taken all in all, the educational advantages enjoyed by Rutland will compare favorably with those of any other place of its size in the country. Insurance. The New England Fire Insurance Company was organized March 30th, 1881, under a charter granted by the Legislature, with a capital of $100,000, and is the only stock fire insurance company in the State. J. M. Haven was elected president; Bradley Fish, vice-president; B. W. Marshall, treas urer, and C. Parmenter, secretary. Ripley Music Hall. The Ripley Opera House, destroyed by fire in 1874, is now in process of re-erection. The new building is to be known as "The Ripley Music Hall," after its projector, Gen. E. H. Ripley. It is to be three stories high, with a much more ornate exterior than the old one. The first story of the front will have a marble base, with iron columns and entablature. Above the first story the front is to be of brick, set in red cement, without pencilings, with trim mings of blue marble. Running entirely across the building, at irregular in tervals, in the second story, will be six courses of a combination of dark blue and light blue marble, all flush with the brick except the fourth and six courses, which will project flush with a series of heavy pilasters. The center or pro jecting section will terminate, near the top of the building, in a pediment with- an elaborate marble cornice. The interior is to be handsomely decorated, and capable of seating about 800 persons. Mr. J. J. R. Randall, the archi- iect of the interior, has given especial study to the acoustic effect, and it is not to be doubted, will meet with entire success. The Ripley Music Hall will be a monument in the growth of the village that Rutland people will look upon with pride. House of Correction. This is a State institution, built in pursuance of an Act passed by the General Assembly, at its fourth biennial session in 1876. Rutland was selected as its site, by the county's contributing $20,000 towards its erection, TOWN OF RUTLAND. 203 and thereby gaining its use as a county jail. The building, located just west of the village line, on the bank of East Creek, was erected in 1877-8, at a cost of about $60,000. At the session of 1878 the Legislature changed the purpose somewhat from its original intent as a workhouse to a " House of Correction," and the criminal laws of the State were so amended as to allow the Court at its discretion to sentence persons convicted of an offense pun ishable by imprisonment in the State Prison, to the House of Correction. That the discipline of this institution is a great improvement over the State Prison mode, can scarcely be doubted. Especial care is exercised relative to cleanliness, clean, wholesome food furnished, and much pains taken towards moral instruction. The institution is divided into a north and south wing, or extension, with kitchen, guard-room and chapel between; contains 75 cells, four of which are lined with boiler iron and furnished with solid iron doors. These are used for confining dangerous or refractory inmates, and is, indeed about the only mode of punishment inflicted, the present management, relying more upon kindness than harsh measures to preserve discipline. When a prisoner enters the institution he is first obliged to make thoroughly clean his person, and then is dresed in a clean suit of clothes, and from that time until his release, habits of cleanliness and good manners are constantly en forced. All conversation with fellow prisoners is prohibited, and in health a full day's work required. One day in each week they are gathered together for religious instruction and advice, and at all times the superintendent and keepers are ready by kind words and kindly admonitions to strengthen their resolutions to lead a better life when released. The female prisoners are kept well employed in making, mending and washing the prison bedding and clothing. During the summer of 1879 Mr. M. R. Brown entered upon the contract now in force for the labor of the prisoners. This contract, for finishing mar ble, is to continue for a term of five years from September 1, 1879, and is terminable by either party upon six months notice. By its terms the con tractor is to pay twenty-five cents a day for the labor of each prisoner em ployed, up to August ist, 1880, and 30c thereafter. There are at present 72 prisoners confined here, of which seven are female. I. M. Tripp was first ap pointed superintendent, but resigned his office before the close of the first month, and G. N. Eayres, the present superintendent, was appointed to fill the vacancy. To the good character, judgment, prudent and careful manage ment of Mr. Eayres, much of the success of the institution is due. Although without experience in the management of prisoners at first, he has mastered the situation and is now well fitted for the position. Hotels. The Bates House, located just opposite the depot, on Merchants row, is as fine in all its appointments as any in New England, comparing favorably with the first-class hotels of our large cities. It contains 150 light, well ven- 204 TOWN OF RUTLAND tilated and luxuriously furnished rooms, several parlors, and a spacious dining-hall. The furniture throughout is of black walnut, marble-topped, of elegant design, mostly Eastlake pattern. Every room is heated by steam and connected with the office by Creighton's patent speaking tubes ; the floors are covered with body Brussels carpets, and indeed furnished with every improvement known or attainable for the comfort and convenience of guests. The cuisine is all that the most fastidious could wish, while the gentlemanly proprietor, Mr. J. M. Haven, and the manager, Mr. W. F. Paige, by their courtesy and kindness to guests, render the hotel not only a success, but immensely popular with all. From the large and finely furnished observatory (The Bates House.) tourists can obtain a fine view of Rutland and its environs, including Killing- ton, Pico and Shrewsbury mountains, and the Otter Creek as it winds its way through the valley, with the Green Mountains on one side and the Taconic on the other, forming a scene that is scarcely rivalled by that of any other country. With a ten mile drive over a road leading directly east from the hotel, one will arrive at the famous Mt. Killington, rising in majestic grandeur 4,380 feet above tide-water, the highest point in Vermont, except Mt. Mansfield ; from its summit a view may be obtained far surpassing in extent and majestic beauty that obtained from any other mountain in Vermont, and is even regarded more attractive than that from Mt.. Washing ton, being less a scene of desolation, and of greater pastoral beauty ; pre senting to the beholder a sea of mountains clothed to their summits with verdure, their sides dotted with nestling lakes and fertile farms. Although these mountains seem to crowd each other, so great is their profusion, there TOWN OF RUTLAND. 205 is yet room for many valleys of great beauty and fertility. This feature of cultivation does not tame the view, but enhances the charm of its vastness. A view that includes the greater part of New England, and even ex tending far beyond its limits, cannot well be tamed by cultivation. This prospect takes in all the mountains of Vermont, the White Mountains, and all the principal ones of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and the beautiful Adirondacks ; also Lake Champlain, so plainly visible that steamers can be seen upon its waters with the naked eye. The grand prospect, together with the abundant springs of water, cold and pure as crystal, situated within a few rods of the summit, and the purity of atmosphere which the great elevation affords, all combine to make this mountain a delightful dwelling-place during the summer months. It was first occupied by a party of the United States Coast Survey in the summer of 1879, when a carriage-road was built for their accommodation as far up as the spring. At this point, in August of the same year, a small house was built by V. C. Meyerhoffer, of Rutland, as a health resort and for the accommodation of tourists. During August and September of that year about one thousand people visited the mountain. The following year, 1880, a much larger house was erected in addition to the old one, and the number of guests largely increased. Killington bids fair to become one of the most attractive summer resorts of New England. A new road is to be built this summer up the Sherburne side of the mountain, and the present road is to be greatly improved. The Bardwell House, located on Merchants row, opposite the railroad depot, was built by Bardwell & Cook, and opened in the spring of 1852. J. W. Cramton became proprietor August 16, 1865, and has since conducted the house as a first-class hotel in all respects. The Berwick House, built in 1868, and owned by C. F. Richardson, is a large, well regulated hotel, located on the corner of Center and Wales streets. Fires. Rutland has been visited during the last half century by three destructive fires, the black scar left by the last having never been removed, and still de nominated as the "burnt district." The first great fire, occurring in the mid dle of a July night in 1845, swept away all of that side of Main street lying between the old Butler House and " the three-storied store." In April of the following year another fire occurred on Main street, making a new " burnt district," extending from the old Grove House to the Strong House — in all a dozen front buildings and more than a score of back buildings. But the last and greatest occurred on the 3rd of April, 1868, involving a loss of over $50,- 000.00. This fire was occasioned by the bursting of a lamp in the bar-room of the Franklin House, a large hotel owned by Gershom Cheney, located on the east side of Main street. When first discovered, at about 1:30 a. m., it was under considerable headway, and the whole main building was soon a mass of flames, which no human power could quell. It then ran along by a 2o6 TOWN OF RUTLAND. connecting link to a block owned by W. H. B. Owen, which was also in a few minutes burning rapidly. The county court house, on the north of the hotel, caught fire in the cupola almost at the same time as Mr. Owen's store. From the court house it next enveloped a wooden building on the north. At this point, there being an alley of some fifteen to twenty feet wide, the fire began to succumb to the water poured upon it, the Dr. Ross block, next south of Mr. Owen's, being the southern limit. The Franklin House, at the time of the fire, was filled with guests and boarders, but fortunately all escaped safely, though most of them lost their wardrobes. Two eminent lawyers, at tending the County Court, came down from the second story on a board being men of more than average avoirdupois, and rivals in the political arena- their safe landing was hailed with delight, as grave doubts had been enter tained of the strength of their frail support. Other than these fires no great calamities have visited the village. Previous to the year 1846 there was no street leading west from Main except West street. The other streets of the village were Greene street and Woodstock avenue. From where Oscar Brown now resides — then at the out skirts of the village — there were only two houses before reaching the creek, the Ruggles house and Chipman Thrall's. The village did not begin to build up much until about the time the railroad was constructed, 1847 to '50. At this time there were but three churches in the place, which now contains seven. On the 26th of December, 1856, it was decided by the authorities "to open two new streets, to be called Center street and Court street." These streets have since become two of the most important of the village. In 1853 and'54the depot was erected. In 1857 the U. S. court house and post office building was erected, at a cost of about $80,000.00. Thus from year to year has the village added to its beauty and importance, until at the present time, with its 17 miles of streets, it bids fair to be, in less than another quarter of a century, one of the most prosperous and flourishing cities of the East. Old ' Houses. The oldest house in the village is the old gambrel-roofed building next west of the Advent Chapel, on West street, built previous to 1775, and used ' several years as a county court house. (See page 43.) The building located on the north-west corner of Main and West streets was built about the year 1775, and for a long time used as a hotel. Where Cheney Bros, and Graves now are, Luther Daniels & Bell were located a number of years as general merchants. The building was erected, however, previous to 1795, by John A. Graham; just north of this was the old Franklin House. Where Mr. Field now resides was the old Fox place, where the Herald was first pub lished, and a book store kept. The old jail was located where Mr. Lawrence now resides. Among the business men in Rutland in i794-'95-'96 were Trobridge Maynard, in the saddlery business ; James Daviss and William Leadwell were clothiers ; Joseph Munn kept the tavern near the court house TOWN OF RUTLAND. 207 andEUjah Taylor opened the tavern "lately occupied by Major Buell;" Fred Hill was postmaster; Nathaniel Chipman and Leonard Williams were together in the law business ; Pomeroy & Hooker were druggists ; Pepoon Fuller & Co., Jonas & Anthony Butler; Isacher Reed, "a few rods east of the meet ing house ; " and Ralph Page " one mile west of the court house," were general merchants ; Uri Hill was a house and sign painter; David Stevens, late of Walpole, N. H. was in the boot and shoe business, a few rods north of the meeting house, East Parish; he was also a tanner and currier here; Eben Mussey sold boots, shoes and leather at wholesale and retail, about half a mile south of the court house ; John and Wm. Smith were blacksmiths ; Wm. Storer was a goldsmith and silversmith ; Sampson Ladd was a carpen ter and builder ; Wm. Hale was a cabinet maker, " ioo rods west of the State House, at Rutland." The present churches of Rutland are convenient in size and general arrangement, and are usually under the pastoral care of able ministers ; of these additional mention will be made further on. The whole appearance of the village denotes the presence of a thriving, prosperous, happy people. West Rutland, a post village and station on the D. & H. C. Co's R. R. is located about four miles west of Rutland village, in the West Parish of Rutland It contains one hotel, three churches, about a dozen stores and about 2,000 inhabitants. At a distance of eighty rods north from the rail road depot in the village, is a range of hills rising 200 feet above the bottom lands. On the western slope of these hills, and near the base, crops out the world famous Rutland Marble. Marble, from the Greek wood marmoros, to sparkle, to flash, to gleam, is a term properly applied to the varieties of carbonate of lime, which have a granular and crystaline texture. In the ordinary parlance of the mason, it means almost any rock that may be polished ; such as steatite, serpentine, brecca, etc. The use of marble for ornamental and artistic purposes dates from the remotest antiquity. Italy, the famous marble producing country of the world, whose far-famed quarries of Carrara have supplied statuaries with this beautiful material from the time of Julius Caesar, was destined to find a dangerous rival nestled in the quiet hills at West Rutland. The valley at the foot of West Mountain, in 1838, was a dreary swamp, land that one would scarcely believe worth a song. In 1838 William F. Barnes began a lime kiln near the " old red store," calcining the marble into quick-lime. Soon the idea occurred to him that this limestone might be used in the manufac ture of tomb-stones. Accordingly he struck a bargain for this barren, swampy land, including a portion of the hill, giving in exchange an old horse, worth not to exceed $75. This same barren land contained nearly all of the famous quarries of West Rutland, now valued at millions, and which before his death he sold for $130,000. Starting from the R. R. depot and going north, a short walk places the visitor at the three large quarries of Sheldons i5° Slason. These quarries 2o8 TOWN OF RUTLAND. were opened about the year 1843, and the past 38 years, marble has been taken from them to the depth of 250 feet. In the beginning the business was limited, and not very profitable, as, in the absence of railroads, the entire product had to be hauled by teams from the quarries to Whitehall, N. Y., the nearest shipping point, a distance of twenty-five miles. But the completion of the railroad in 1851 gave an impetus to the business. In the spring of 1850 Messrs. Sheldons & Slason erected an "an eight gang" mill, running nine months in the year, in the day time only, and then more nearly met the demand than they now do with a forty-eight gang mill, running night and day all the months of the year. The machinery is driven by a 300 horse-power engine, which also hoists the stone from the quarries. In quarrying, sawing and shipping marble 350 men are employed. In ad- diton to the vast amount of marble which they work up on their own account, they annually ship many thousand tons to be worked up by other mills. The Gilsoti 6-> Woodfin quarries, just north of Sheldons & Slason's, were opened in 1845, William F. Barnes working the quarries by contract for Allen & Adams until 1849, when they took a lease of the property. There was but one opening (which has attained a greater depth than the opening of any other quarry) until 1879, when the present firm made another opening higher, on a deposit running parallel with the old one ; this as yet has not been worked to any great extent. The business has undergone numerous changes, until June, 1868, it was taken by the present firm, who employ about 100 men. The Sherman &° Gleason quarries, north of the Gilson & Woodfin opening, were opened in 1846 by the present proprietors, who employ 60 men. The West Rutland Marble Company. — In 1867-68 a firm under the name of " The Green Mountain Marble Co." opened a quarry on the old Blanchard estate, which they worked three or four years, and took therefrom about $75,000.00 worth of marble; but did not make it a success, on account of lack of funds to carry on the business. Since it was abandoned by them it has lain idle until May 1, 1881, when it was bought by J. E. Manley, Esq., of West Rutland, J. S. Brown, of Concord, N. H., A. J. Griffin and Thomas H. Elliott, of Lowell, Mass., forming themselves into a company under the name of " The West Rutland Marble Co." The whole is under the management of Mr. J. E. Manley, and there is little doubt but that under him the enter prise will prove a success, as he is a gentleman possessed of rare business qualities and has had considerable experience in the marble trade. The old Rutland Marble Company, whose quarries and mills are situated north of the Sherman & Gleason quarry, was organized October 29, 1863, and worked 24 gangs of saws; but on September 30, 1880, it united with the Sutherland Falls Co. to form the Vermont Marble Co., who now have their headquarters at Centre Rutland. TOWN OF RUTLAND. 209 Centre Rutland, a small post-village, located midway between Rutland village and West Rutland, on the Central Vermont and D. & H. C. Co.'s R. R., and by a beautiful fall on Otter Creek, contains one store, one church, one grist-mill, about forty dwellings and the mills of the Vermont Marble Co. Evergreen Cemetery, located on Pine Hill, near Centre Rutland, is beautifully situated, covering an area of 45 acres, and a considerable portion of it improved and embellished. The whole is covered with a natural grove of pine and oak, and contains seven fountains, a number of beautiful monu ments, and the grounds are kept in good condition. The association was organized in i860, with the following list of officers: Frederick Chaffee, Wil liam A. Burnett, Rockwood Barrett, John B. Proctor and J. G. Griggs. The officers at the present time are, J. J. R. Randall, president ; Dr. Chas. Wood- house, treasurer; B. W. Marshall, secretary, and J. G. Griggs, superintendent. The Vermont Marble Co. was chartered under the laws of New York, on the 30th day of September, 1880, with ex-Governor Redfield Proctor, prest. ; A. Smedbury, of New York city, Sec'y and Treas. ; Ner P. Simons, Supt. This company employs in all 700 men. At their mills in Sutherland Falls, they operate sixty-four gangs of saws, twenty-four gangs at West Rutland, twenty-eight at Centre Rutland, and eight gangs at their branch mills in Salem, N. Y., making in all 124 gangs. At their quarries in West Rutland, Sutherland Falls and Double Road Crossing, they have in all seven openings, making the largest marble business operated by any one firm in the world. Sutherland Falls, a small post village, located in the extreme northern part of the township and lying partly in Pittsford, contains one store and about a hundred dwellings, nearly the whole population being in the em ploy of the Vermont Marble Company's mills and quarries at this place. The village of Sutherland Falls is beautifully located on Otter Creek, and is also a station on the Central Vermont Railroad, taking its name from the falls on Otter Creek at this point. These falls form one of the best mill privileges in the State, with surroundings that are eminently picturesque and beautiful. From a rear door of the new marble mill, located but a few rods from the head of the falls, one may obtain a view that is well worthy a visit by one who justly appreciates beautiful scenery. A wide spread and beautiful valley opens to the north and east, thickly studded with comfortable and oftentimes elegant farm-houses, with well-fenced and highly cultivated fields, beyond which, to the north, may be seen the cluster of buildings that form Pittsford village. To the east may be seen the wild towering peaks of Pico, Killington and Shrewsbury ; while to the right the old Otter falls roaring over an eminence 118 feet in height, then follows its serpentine way northward, till at last it is lost in a thread of silver, far away in the verdant valley. The quarries are located about half a mile from the mills, which are operated by water-power, having a head of 118 feet. The drills and channeling- -14 2 I O TOWN OF RUTLAND. machines are operated by compressed air, the engines for its compression being located at the mills, from whence it is conducted to the quarries by means of large iron pipes. Three compressers are used, the same that were employed in the excavations of Hoosac Tunnel. The quarries being located a number of feet higher than the mills, the blocks of marble have only to be loaded upon cars built for the purpose, when by gravitation they are con ducted down the gently inclined plane, directly into the mills. Thus the marble is quarried, sawed and polished, with absolutely no expense for mo tive power, except the natural wear and tear on machinery. Marble was first quarried here in 1836, by Humphrey, Ormsbee & Co., who failed in 1837. In 1853 a new company was formed, called the North River Mining and Quarrying Co., which continued in operation three years, when the property fell into the hands of the Sutherland Falls Marble Co., under which name it was operated until 1880, when it was united with the old Rutland Marble Company, the two forming the Vermont Marble Company. When Gov. Proctor first became interested in these quarries, in 1869, then operated by the Sutherland Falls Marble Company, they used but sixteen gangs of saws, and since that time their works have increased to sixty-four gangs, and now employ 375 men. Mr. Proctor's residence is at Sutherland Falls, a pleasant cottage, located just at the head of the falls, surrounded by shade trees and evergreens. He has lately donated to the village a fine library, containing 3,000 rare volumes. Flint Bros, marble quarries, located on road 43, at Double Road Crossing, were first established in 1866. as the Eureka Marble Co., and afterwards changed to Flint, Johnson & Co., and in 1878 to Flint Bros. The firm is now Flint Bros. & Co. The quality of the marble is of a clouded variety, which is well adapted for monumental purposes. The mills and quarries are operated by steam power ; the former contains twelve gangs of saws, four turning and four finishing lathes. The firm employs fifty men and produces $50,000 worth of marble annually. In removing the marble from the quar ries the workmen have come upon several remarkable specimens of pot-holes; one of them nearly twenty feet deep and several feet in diameter. The sides are quite smooth, and they still contain the rocks, which by the constant action of water had been whirled round until they had worn these immense holes in the solid marble, hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago. H. N. Reynolds' quarry, located on road 3, produces a variegated quality, resembling Italian Bardiglio. The vein has been tested and found to be ninety feet wide and several hundred feet long. The quarry is not in opera tion at present. The Columbian Marble Co's quarry was opened in 1836 by Humphrey, Ormsbee & Co., who worked it about two years, when work was suspended and the property passed into the hands of Francis Slason, as receiver. The company then worked it for him about four years, and then it was abandoned until 1867, when it was again started by a firm under the name of the North TOWN OF RUTLAND. Rutland Marble Co., and again changed in 1870 to the present firm name. They employ at the quarries twenty men and operate three machines. Their mill at Rutland employs 150 men. Ripley Sons' marble works, located on road 41, were established in 1844, employing on the start about twenty men. They now saw 300,000 feet of marble per year, and employ fifty-five men. On April, 1881, the Vermont Marble Co., Sheldons & Slason, Gilson & Woodfin, Ripley Sons and Sherman & Gleason Companies formed a co partnership, with a central office at Rutland village, by which they agreed to open yards in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, from which all their marble in these places was to be sold, and each company to have a share of the sales according to the assessed value of their stock, the annoying and vexations delays in the filling of orders for marble being obviated by this method of doing business, as under the new plan orders will go to those who can most readily take care of them, and be filled in much less time than they could be were the selection confined to any one company's yard, and at the same time prices can be regulated more to the advantage of both con sumer and producer. The association is known as the " Producers Marble Co." The Town Farm is located on road 51, and contains 280 acres, under the management of William F. Kelley. There are at present thirty-five of the - town poor supported here. Early Settlement. During the old Colonial wars Rutland had no white man dwelling within its limits ; but yet was always, " in ye olden times," the focus of Indian travel. From Fort Dummer, in Massachusetts, a brisk trade was kept up with Can ada, the line of travel being across what is now the State of Vermont, and as Otter Creek, north and south, Castleton River to the west and Cold River to the east, formed the most convenient route for the trading canoes, the present township of Rutland may have been the scene of many a conflict between the treacherous red man and the hardy trader. The first record we have of any white man's visiting the territory is that of James Coss, who passed along Otter Creek with twelve Caughnawaga Indians in May, 1730. In 1759 the old military road from Charleston, N. H., to Ticonderoga and Crown Point was put through, passing along Black River and Otter Creek, crossing Otter Creek at Centre Rutland. Twenty years after this, Fort Ran ger, located on this road at Center Rutland, was the headquarters of the State forces. The first white man that ever settled in Rutland township was Captain James Mead, who came to Centre Rutland in the year 1769. Mead was born in Massachusetts in 1730, and, while yet a young man, removed to Nine Partners, N. Y, where he resided until 1764, and then emigrated with others to Manchester, Vermont. On the 30th day of September, 1769, he bought of Nathan Stone, of Windsor, 7,000 acres of land, about 212 TOWN OF RUTLAND. one-quarter of the whole township of Rutland, paying $333.33 for the same, in horses. On the same day he sold 3,500 acres of his land to Charles Button, of Clarendon. He built a log house about half a mile west of Centre Rutland, near the bank of West Creek, (Tinmouth River,) the first house built in the township. During the winter he returned for his family, consisting of a wife and ten children, returning with them in March of the following spring. They were three days coming from Manchester, and when they arrived at their log house they found it was built too near the creek, and the snow and ice had made it unavailable ; so for a time they took refuge in a wigwam belonging to the Indians, quite an encampment of whom he found at the falls. Of these Caughnawaga Indians numerous traditions are still extant, and they seem to have been very friendly, peace able neighbors. It is said they furnished lead for bullets to the white men, in exchange for tobacco, &c, but would never reveal the place where they got it. Mead has said they would start from the falls and not be gone over an hour, and return with large pieces. For this reason it was long believed there were lead mines in the vicinity, but none have ever been found. In this wigwam the Mead family resided until the next fall, during which time they had completed a comfortable log house, in which they wintered. During the spring of 1770, Simeon Powers, from Springfield, Vt., with his wife Lydia and one child, settled west of Otter Creek, on the present Kelley farm. Soon after, Asa Johnson and his wife, from Williamstown, Mass., settled near them. They were joined in the fall by William Dwinell and wife, relatives of the Powers', from Springfield, who took up their residence with them. These four families comprised the whole white population of Rutland in the fall of 1770. During this year Thomas Rowley was in Rutland surveying lots, and on the 23d of September, the first white child was born ; a son of Simeon Powers, named William. On the following day, William, son of James Mead, was born. Nine days after, the 3d of October, Chloe, daughter of Asa Johnson, was born, making three children born in the town during the first year of its settlement. The first death recorded is that of an infant of Aaron and Ruth Miller, May 26th, 1770.* In 177 1, on the 3rd of April, Gov. Dunmore, of New York, issued the pat ent of Socialborough, in direct violation of the King's Order in Council of July, 1767, forbidding such grant. This prohibitory order, and the consequent want of authority in the Governor to make the grant, was well known to the parties for whose benefit it was made, and it was therefore illegal and void. The patent covered forty-eight thousand acres of land, bounded on the south by Clarendon, and was thirteen miles in length from north to south, by over six in width, and nearly identical with the present townships of Rutland and Pittsford. The nominal grantees in the patent were forty-eight persons, each entitled to one thousand acres, but most of them, a few days after the patent *This death is noted in the town records. We have no information of the family being permanent settlers. TOWN OF RUTLAND. 213 was issued, conveyed their shares to a few New York city speculators, for whose benefit the grant had really been made, and who instigated and sus tained all subsequent efforts to eject the New Hampshire claimants. Soon a Scotchman by the name of Cockburn was sent by the "land pirates" to survey their stolen land, and it was he who surveyed the present Main street of Rutland village. But the people of Socialborough did not purpose to tamely submit to this outrage, so the surveyor did not find his lot a happy one, as an extract from a letter written by him, addressed to Mr. Duane, the most prom inent of the New York speculators, will testify. (See page 56.) He was the second time stopped by Mead and Johnson, and by other parties threatened with death, and their threats appear to have prevented him from making further attempts under the patent of Socialborough. The next summer, however, he was found, with a number of his assistants, at Bolton, on the Onion River, and was arrested by Remember Baker, Seth Warner and others, who, after breaking his compass and chain, took him and his party to Castle ton, for trial before a court of the settlers ; but on learning that negotiations for arranging their difficulties were pending, allowed him to proceed on his way without further molestation. In 1774 Rutland had a population of thirty-five families, among whom were Joseph Bowker and John Smith. Capt. John Smith emigrated from Salis bury, Conn., to Rutland, in April of 1774, settling on the farm now owned by F. B. and J. Q. Smith. When the New York claimants under the patent of Socialborough came to take possession of his farm, he resisted them, for which offence he was sentenced to death, without trial, by the New York Riot Act of 1774. But like Paddy's fish, "he ha'd to be caught before he could be cooked." Mr. Smith was the first town-clerk and the first Repre sentative of Rutland in the General Assembly. His farm consisted of 1400 acres, there being but one house between him and Centre Rutland at the time he settled on it. He had five sons and one daughter, named respect ively John, Daniel, Joel, Silas, Elijah and Sarah, all of whom settled on the tract of land owned by their father. Capt. Smith with two of his sons, John and Daniel, were engaged in the Battle of Bennington, he being Capt. of the guard placed over the prisoners lodged in the church after the engagement. At one time Daniel and thirteen others were sent north on a scouting expe dition. In Shelburne they camped one night in a deserted log house. Before morning they were surprised and surrounded by a party of Indians and Tories numbering fifty-seven in all. An increased firing was kept up till morning, when all that were left of the besieging party were surrounded, taken prisoners and brought to Bennington with the loss of only one man. While on their way to Bennington it was proposed that they all discharge their guns for the purpose of cleaning them. When Daniel's was discharged, one of the Tories exclaimed : — " That is the weapon that spoke so often last night, and with such deadly effect ! " The old musket is still in possession of his grandson, Daniel. Elijah W., son of Elijah, and his sister, Mrs. Sheldon, 214 TOWN OF RUTLAND are still living, Elijah on the old homestead, and Mrs. Sheldon near the Congregational church, at West Rutland. J. Q., son of E. W., has many curious papers that were the property of his great great-grandfather, some of them bearing date as far back as 1733. Capt. John Smith died in 1807, honored and respected by all. Capt. Joseph Bowker was one of the trusted men of the town and State in their early days, was president of the several conventions for the formation of the State, held in 1776, of those that declared the State independent and framed the State Constitution in 1777. He was afterwards a member of the Governor's Council, and held other honorable and responsible positions. He died at Rutland in 1784.

About four years later he removed to Rutland, settling near Otter Creek, on the present Baxter farm. At the time of the retreat from Ticonderoga, his wife and four children fled to New Providence, now Cheshire, Mass., remain ing there with Lewis Walker, a cousin of her husband, who afterwards re moved to Clarendon. Daniel Walker, brother to Gideon, came to the county about the time Gideon did, settling in Clarendon. Daniel married an English lady, Mary Young, through whose influence he espoused the cause of the British, for which his property was confiscated, and he removed to Canada.

While hunting one day in company with a neighbor, they shot an otter. In dividing the game, the neighbor remarked : — " I will give you that fifteen acres lying above your house for your share of that otter." Mr. R. accepted the offer. That fifteen acres is now valued at $2,000. Mr. Reynolds died in 1840, lacking sixteen days of being 100 years of age. John Johnson, from Connecticut, came to Rutland in April, 1773, locating on what is now known as the Zina Johnson place, where he resided until his death, at an advanced age. In 1866 Cyrus L.

James Barrett, who commanded the first regiment raised in Massachusetts, and which con- TOWN OF RUTLAND. tained the companies who took part in the battles of Concord and Lexing ton. He was also one of the Committee of Safety, and also had charge of the collection of provisions and supplies, for the destruction of which the British troops were sent to Concord. Of the descendants now living in town there are: the wife of Evelyn Pierpont, the wife of Hon. W. C. Dunton, Ellen C. Barrett, unmarried, and Rockwood Barrett, treasurer of the Columbian Marble Company. Robert Patterson came to Rutland from Montpelier, Vt., in 1816. He served in the war of 181 2 and was at the Battle of Plattsburg. While in the army he contracted a disease which resulted in paralysis, from the effects of which he never recovered. He died in 1848, in his 65th year. He was the father of six children, three of whom are now living. Robert E. resides in Rutland, on road 13. Jerusha A. Carruth, of Rutland village, is the daughter of Daniel and Bet sey Carruth, who were married in Rutland, December 4, 1810, and on the 4th of December, i860, were buried in the same grave in West Street Ceme tery, having lived together in harmony on the spot where they were first mar ried, fifty years to a day. They had a family of six children, of whom Jerusha is the only resident of Rutland, now residing on Woodstock avenue, at the age of 69. Thaddeus Dunklee, from New Hampshire, came to Rutland in 18 12, where he married Elizabeth Capron, July 29, 1822, by whom he had five children, Benjamin F., Hiram, Sarah, Samuel and George. But two are now living, George in Boston, Mass., and Benjamin F. in Rutland. Dr. Lorenzo Sheldon, son of Meadad and Lucy (Boss) Sheldon, was born in Rutland village, May 8th, 1801. He was the eldest of a family of eleven children, consisting of five sons and six daughters. His father carried on the business of a blacksmith at Centre Rutland, and Lorenzo early learned to make himself useful in his father's shop. Subsequently the family moved upon a farm, north of what is now known as West Rutland village. Lorenzo early manifested a desire to study medicine, and eventually the way was opened for him to attend the Academy of Medicine at Castleton, Vt., where he continued his studies until his graduation, January 16th, 1820, when he returned to Rutland and commenced study and practice with Dr. Jonathan Shaw, with whom he formed a partnership. This connection, however, only continued one year, when Dr. Shaw removed to Clarendon Springs, leaving young Dr. Sheldon to practice independently. After a few years, induce ments were held out to secure his removal to Waddington, St. Lawrence County, N. Y., to which place he removed in 1826, but only remained two years, when he returned to Rutland in 1828. In the year following he was married to Mahala Smith, of West Rutland. Of this marriage there were born seven children, Sophronia M., Darwin Rush, Lucy Amareth, Charles S., Lucy L., Harley G. and Mary Kate. In the year 1835 Dr. Sheldon entered into partnership with Mr. Wm. F. Barnes, and commenced the marble business, 222 TOWN OF RUTLAND. then in its infancy. At one time this company owned the entire marble de posit from the present Sheldons & Slason, north. Dr. Sheldon, at a later date, became senior member of the firm of Sheldons & Slason, continuing his connection with this firm till 1865, when he sold out and ceased to have any connection with the marble business ; but he continued to have large inter ests in real estate, which absorbed a considerable portion of his time through the remainder of his life. He died at 12 o'clock on Sabbath morning, Sep tember 5, 1880, in his 80th year, and was buried amidst the universal expres sions of personal loss, by a people who had known and honored him from childhood. William F. Barnes, the pioneer of the marble interests of West Rutland, was born in Pittsford, January 17, 1806. His parents emigrated to the West during his boyhood, but Mr. B. chose to remain behind, and took up his residence with Elijah Boardman, in West Rutland. The labors and specula tions of his younger days were confined entirely, then, to this section, and exhibited that wonderful energy, tact and endurance which made him re markable through life. His life was a struggle, and he met with various vicissitudes, until about the year 1836, when fickle fortune deigned to cast a smile upon him, in the discovery and purchase by him of the quarry and swamp lands adjoining. In connection with the marble interest which was started by Mr. Barnes in company with Dr. Sheldon, he commenced the labor of reclaiming the almost impenetrable swamp land hereabouts, which now presents a scene of well cultivated fields. The building of the Depot Block, the Barnes House, etc., upon sites elevated many feet above the level, by carting soil from the swamp near by, were conceptions and performances of this energetic worker. These buildings were erected soon after the quarries were well developed, and the railroad was finished, the depot being given to the railroad for their occupancy. Fortunes have been accumulated and spent upon the field of his early toil, yet it cannot be said that he acquired wealth; reverses, illegal adjustments, and unfair deal ings, all incident to life, were harsh experiences of his existence, and affected his later life and fortune. A little incident is related of him which illustrates the generous impulse of his nature. A friend noticing the slow and uncer tain movements of some aged workmen, expressed his surprise that such men were given employment, considering their infirmity and small amount of labor they could perform. His answer was characteristic. " These men," said he, " have grown old in my employment ; I cannot deprive them now of the means whereby to exist." On Wednesday, May 10, 187 1, while en gaged in superintending the work in one of the quarries, a block of marble, weighing about 100 pounds, which had been lying in a pile at the top of the quarry, became undermined by rain, and fell a distance of over sixty feet, striking Mr. Barnes on the head and crushing the skull so terribly that the brain was exposed. Incredible as it may appear, his death did not occur until about nine o'clock of the Sunday following. Mr. Barnes represented TOWN OF RUTLAND. 223 Rutland two years in the Legislature, and was held in general esteem by his fellow citizens. He was for a time a local preacher of the Methodist Church, but several years previous to his death, he withdrew from that society and united with the Episcopal Church. William Y. Ripley, son of Nathaniel Ripley, an early resident of Middle- bury, Vt, came to Rutland in 1837, locating at Centre Rutland, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1844 he established the marble business now carried on by his sons. In 1861 he was appointed president of the Rut land County National Bank, which office he held until his death, which occurred September 27, 1875, when he was succeeded by his son, William Y. W., who still retains the position. John Cain was born in Castletown, Isle of Man, January 28, 1809, where he received the rudiments of the education at that time afforded to the masses of the people of that island. Possessing an independent and am bitious spirit, desirous of making its own way in the world, he emigrated to this country in 1832, at the age of 23 years. He came immediately to Rut land, and began life, in connection with a brother in his occupation, as an architect and builder, which he pursued for two score years with great industry, and was the builder of many buildings in this section. On the 24th of May, 1834, he was united in marriage with Mary, daughter of Avery Billings. Five children were born to them, — William J., John, Avery B., Jewett P. and Mary. William J. and Avery B. both died in 1879, which brought sorrow to the hearts of their parents. They were young men of more than ordinary promise, and served their country faithfully and well in the civil war, and received recognition of their services by promotion to posi tions in the United States Army. The three others survive. Mr. Cain became an ardent politician of the Democratic school of Jefferson and Jackson, and valiantly and fearlessly fought the battles of that party. He was closely identified with the interests of the town of Rutland for many years, and held several positions of trust and responsibility in its local government. He was the founder and proprietor of the Rutland Courier, which was for a series of years a vigorous journal and the organ of the Democratic party in Western Vermont. He died, after a lingering illness, at Rutland, March 16, 1880. Colonel Jesse Gove, son of Nathaniel and Esther (Tyler) Gove, was born in Bennington, February 20, 1783. He read law with Cephas Smith, Jr., Esq., of Rutland; was admitted to the Rutland County Bar at the March term of 1818, and thereafter resided in Rutland. He married, January 4, 1809, Sophia Ingersoll. In 1809 he was appointed clerk of the United States District and Circuit Courts for the District of Vermont, and held that office until his death. He was appointed postmaster at Rutland village April 9, 1841. He also attained the rank of colonel in the militia. Julia Caroline Ripley, daughter of Wm. Y. Ripley, was born in Charles- town, S. C, February 13th, 1825, but most of her life has been spent in Vermont. She was married February 2 2d, 1847, to Hon. Seneca M. Dorr, 224 TOWN OF RUTLAND. then of New York, but now of Rutland. Mr. Dorr is well known to the people of his adopted State as a legislator of prominence and ability. " The Maples," their home, on the banks of Otter Creek, just outside the corporate limits of Rutland village, is one of the notable residences of this beautiful town. Mrs. Dorr is too well known as an authoress, to require special men tion here. She began to write at an early date, but had none of her pro ductions placed in print until the year 1848 ; since that time a number of her poems have appeared in the best magazines of the day, and been widely copied at home and abroad, while she has also given to the public several novels and a choice edition of her poems, all of which have been very suc cessful, winning for her, and with justice, the soubriquet of " Vermont's Poetess." Ruth Field, widow of Nathaniel, now 97 years of age, resides with her son, Wm. M. Field, corner Centre and Main streets, and displays an unusual degree of vigor for one of that age. William, father of Dr. George H. Fox, of Rutland village, was an old Revolutionary soldier, and settled in Clarendon, from Woodstock, Conn., in 1779, dying there February 17th, 1822. Dr. Fox traces the genealogy of his family back to John Fox of England, historian of the Martyrs, bom in 1517. Silas Aiken, D. D., removed from Boston, where he had occupied the pulpit of the Park St. Church for twelve years, and was settled over the Congregational Church of Rutland in 1849, which position he retained until he retired from the ministry in 1863. The high esteem in which he was held is attested by the fact that upon his retirement the Congregational Society presented him with a deed of the residence, No. 7 1 Main street, to retain the benefit of his influence among them, and here two of his daughters still reside. About the commencement of the Revolutionary war a fort was erected at East Rutland, about twenty feet north of the present Cheney store, on what is known as the burnt district. It was oblong in form, about eight rods east and west, and ten rods north and south, made of pickets of maple, set five feet in the ground and extending fourteen feet high, the sides of the pickets touching each other and hewn smooth, the outside and inside unhewn. In side was a small building for ammunition and provisions, afterwards used as a dwelling. As forts were soon after erected east and west of this, it became of little use, and was gradually torn down and the pickets used for fuel. Soon after the organization of the Government of Vermont, in March, 1778, it was decided to make Rutland the headquarters of the State troops, and Gideon Brownson was appointed commander of the forces stationed here. A fort was erected at Centre Rutland during the same year, located on the hill east of Mead's (now Gookins) Falls, and named Fort Ranger. It was elliptical in form, covering an area of two or more acres, and made of unhewn hemlock logs or pickets, sunk in a trench five feet deep, rising fifteen feet high, sharpened at the top and inclining outward, accommodating two TOWN OF RUTLAND. 225 or three hundred troops. In the north-west part, a block-house, forty feet square and two stories high, was built, the north and west sides forming a part of the outside of the fort, and supplied on all sides with port-holes. This fort was used as the State headquarters, and from here the supplies were furnished the other forts until 1781, when the headquarters were removed to Castleton. At this time Centre Rutland contained, besides the fort, the first meeting-house of the town, the tavern of John Hopson Johnson, built of plank, on the site of the present store, and Mead's saw and grist mill, built for Col. James Mead, by Benjamin Blanchard, who received 100 acres of land for building the same, the land now being included in the farm of Chalon Blanchard. During the war of 1861 and 1865, the fair ground, located about a mile south of the village, was used as a veteran reserve camp, and called Camp Fairbanks, in honor of Governor Fairbanks, and the ist and 2d regiments, mustered into service at Rutland, were camped here several weeks. One of the first bridges of any importance erected in the town of Rutland over Otter Creek was near Double Road Crossing, and built by a small school district, the raising being completed on October 1, 1795, and was given the name of ' ' Federal Bridge." Rev. William Emerson, grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson, joined the Revolutionary army as chaplain, from Concord, Mass., on the 16th of August, 1776, and was at Ticonderoga under Gen. Gates, where he was at tacked with bilious fever and obliged to resign. On the 1 8th of September, 1776, he started on his journey home,- and had proceeded as far as Rutland, when his illness increased so much that he was obliged to stop, staying with the Rev. Benjamin Roots, where he died on Sabbath morning, October 20th, 1776, in the 34th year of his age. He was buried the following day with military honors. In 1790 his son, William, disinterred the remains and again buried them. A few years since, Ralph Waldo Emerson came to Rut land in search of the grave, but failed to identify it. The first medical society ever organized in the State, held its first meeting at the house of Joseph Munn, innholder, at Rutland, in August, 1795, at which Dr. Ezekiel Porter was made chairman ; Dr. Benjamin Walker, clerk ; Drs. Samuel Shaw, Daniel Reed and Benjamin Walker, censors. Messrs. Enos Bell and Jonathan Shaw were examined by said censors and recom mended. Churches. The First Congregational Church of West Rutland was re-organized under its present "name on the 13th day of March, 18 18. Soon after the division of the town into parishes, the society had erected a church in West Rutland, across the road from the present brick building, and south of the old burial ground, which was given to the Church and congregation in a deed, dated October 30th, 1787, by William Roberts, one of the founders of the society, —is TOWN OF RUTLAND. and in it, over his grave, is a marble slab bearing the following inscrip tion : — William Roberts, Died November, 1788, Aged about 70 Years. A short time before his death Mr. Roberts gave this ground to the Congre gational Society for a burial place, and his own body was the first here buried. This Monument is erected by some of the members of the Society as a token of respect to his memory. The present house of worship was completed and dedicated on the 30th o May, 1855, and is a large comfortable structure, capable of seating 600 per sons, and cost $18,000, about its present value including grounds. The society now numbers 248 members, under the pastorate of Rev. John K. Williams. The Congregational Church of Rutland, the first religious society estab lished in the township, was organized on the 20th day of October, 1773, three years after the settlement of the town, by a small company assembled at the house of their first pastor, Rev. Benajah Roots, formerly pastor of the First Church of Simsbury, Connecticut, and consisting of the following named members: — Ebenezer Hopkins, Samuel Crippen, David Hawley, William Roberts, Charles Brewster, Abraham Jackson, John Moses, Enos Ives, Joseph Bowker, Jehiel Andrews, Sarah Bowker, Sarah Andrews, Anna Ives and Me- hetabei Andrews. Mr. Roots remained with the society until his death, of consumption, on the 15th day of March, 1787, in his 62d year. The first house of worship was erected soon after the organization of the society, on the west side of what was long known as " Meeting House Hill," at Center Rutland, occupying the present site of Mr. George H. Beaman's residence. This building was used by the society till the year 1787, when, on the 22d of October, the town was divided into two parishes, East and West, the dividing line beginning at the center of the north line of the town, thence parallel with the east and west lines till it strikes the Otter Creek, and thence up the creek, as the stream runs, to the south line of the township, and in each parish a Congregational Church organized, the Church in the East Parish being established on the 5th of October, twelve days before the division of the town, with thirty-seven members, and Rev. Samuel Williams, LL. D., as pastor; and subsequently the West Parish erected an edifice at West Rutland, opposite the present brick structure, under the pastorate of Rev. Lemuel Haynes. TOWN OF RUTLAND. 227 The society of the East Parish, located at Rutland village, has erected three churches — the first, a frame building, on the south-east corner of the old burial-ground on Main street, near the residence of Moses Perkins, and the second on the east side of the same street, upon the site now occupied by the residence of Col. George Merrill. This edifice was built by Gershom Cheney in 1819, costing in the neighborhood of $10,000, and was used by the society until i860, when the present brick church on Court street was erected, at a cost, including chapel, &c, of $54,017.54, and, together with the grounds, is now valued at $75,000. Mr. Williams remained with the Church as a "supply" until Rev. Heman Ball, D. D., was settled, in January of 1795. The society is now in a flourishing condition, with 620 members, and a Sab bath school with 500 scholars, under the very able charge of Rev. James Gibson Johnson, D. D. The Baptist Church of Rutland, located on Center street, was organized on the 25th of November, 1823, with fifteen members; Daniel Ford, il Km ft mm m ' II m m 'd'-m IBli (The Baptist Church of Rutland.) moderator, and Adonijah Ford, clerk. The first settled minister was the Rev. Hadley Proctor, of China, Me., his pastorate commencing with the opening of the year 1827, and continuing until 1834. In 1827 the first church building was erected on Main street, which was used until 1871. when the rapid growth of the village north and west of that parish, necessitated the choice of a more central location. Accordingly, on the 18th of July, 1871, the corner stone of the present structure on Center street was laid, with becoming ceremonies, and on the evening of February 1, 1872, the new 228 TOWN OF RUTLAND. house was opened with appropriate services. It is a handsome brick struc ture, capable of accommodating 600 persons, and cost $42,000. The society now has 380 members, with Rev. Judson K. Richardson as pastor, settled May 1, 1875. Trinity Church, (Episcopal,) at Rutland; located on West street, was organized on Wednesday, February 19, 1817, with Rev. George T. Chapman as rector. The parish was without a house of worship until 1833, when a building was erected on Main street, not far from the north side of West. The corner-stone of the present beautiful stone structure was laid in 1878, by the Right Rev. W. H. A. Bissell, D. D., Bishop of Vermont, and the church was consecrated by the same, December 4th, 1879. The present rector, Rev. Walter Mitchell, was elected on Easter, 1877. The First Methodist Episcopal Church, located on West street, was origin ally organized at Centre Rutland, in 1831, with a membership of fifty-two. In 1854 it was reorganized at Rutland village, by their first pastor, Rev. John Parker, and consisted of only six members, — William A. Burnett and wife, Mrs. Mary and Miss Jane Thrall, and Misses Jane and Lucy Dunklee. Services were first held in the old depot, the preacher standing on the plat form and the people sitting in passenger coaches drawn up in front, and subsequently in the third story of the old Perkins block, on Merchants' Row, until the first church was erected in 1855-56, which was followed by the present edifice in 1873, which cost $5,000 and will seat 800 persons. The present site was donated by William J. Ripley, then a member at Centre Rutland. After the first church at the east village was erected, the heirs of Mr. Ripley bought the old Centre Rutland church, which they preserve as a memento of respect to their parents. The society now has 305 members, a sabbath-school numbering 325 scholars, and church property to the amount of $18,000. Rev, John Wesley Quinlan is the present pastor. St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, located at Rutland village, was organ ized by its first pastor, Rev. Father Druon, in 1855, with a membership of 500. During that year a church was erected, which was followed by the building of the present elegant structure in 1873, of brick, with trimmings of stone, erected at a cost of $57,000, with seating capacity for 1,300 persons. Father Druon was succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. Chas. Boylan, under whose efficient management the society has increased to 2,500 mem bers, with church property to the amount of $100,000. Under the direction of the Church there are also six Catholic schools, with an average attendance of 387, taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The Second Advent Christian Church, located on West street, was organ ized with forty-two members, by Miles Grant, in 1858, with Rev. Mathew Batchelder as first pastor. During the following year the church building was erected, a modest affair, costing $1,215.35. The society now has ninety members, with no regular pastor. Grace Protestant Episcopal Church of West Rutland was organized in TOWN OF SHERBURNE. 229 1859, and Rev. D. Ellis Wills was the first pastor, the society now being under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Edward P. Lee. The church building was erected in 1878. Porter Howe, Esq., the senior warden of this parish, is one of the oldest, if not the oldest Churchman in Vermont. He was bom in 1791, and was a member of the convention that elected Bishop Hopkins in 1832. The Church of The Sacred Heart of Mary, (French Catholic,) located on Lincoln Ave., at Rutland village, was organized by its first pastor, Rev. Father Gagne, 1870, with a membership of 800. The present edifice was erected during the same year, at a cost of $6,000.00, and will seat 500 persons, now valued, including grounds, at $8,000.00. The society also has a branch church at West Rutland, bearing the same name and organized the same year, having 350 members, and a church building that will accommodate 300 persons and cost $3,000.00. Convent. The Convent of our Lady of Vermont, situated on West street, is an insti tution directed by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. They came to Rutland in January, 1870, locating on Main street, where they re mained until June, 1874, when they removed to their present location, hav ing purchased the premises. Their course of study is the same as in the Mother House, at Hochelaga, Montreal, and comprises the various branches of a solid, useful and ornamental education. SHERBURNE is located in the eastern part of Rutland County, in lat. ¦ftf 430 38', and long. 4° 15' east from Washington. In form it is nearly f|r square, set diagonally, with its longest diagonal line pointing north and south, and is thus bounded on the north-east by Stockbridge, and on the south-east by Bridgewater in Windsor County, on the south-west by Mendon, and on the north-west by Mendon and a small part of Chittenden. It was chartered July 7, 1761, by. Governor Benning Wentworth, of New Hamp shire,' to Ezra Stiles and Benjamin Ellery, of Newport, R. I., under the name of Killington, and then contained 23,040 acres ; but that area has since been increased by a portion of a tract of land called Parker's Gore, formerly lying between Sherburne and Bridgewater, which was annexed November 4, 1822, so that the township now has an area of about 30,000 acres. In the year 1774 the township was surveyed by Simeon Stevens, and allotted in 70 shares, 65 shares to the proprietors and the usual reservation of five shares for public purposes. Although settlement was begun as early as the year 1785, the town was not organized until 1794, with Albro Anthony as first town clerk. The surface is very mountainous and broken ; the highest peak, and next to the highest in the State, is Mount Killington, located in the western part, on the line between this town and Mendon. The formation of Mount Kil- « 23O TOWN OF SHERBURNE. lington is mostly gneiss; the summit entirely barren and sterile, frowns down upon the surrounding landscape from an altitude of 4,38° feet above the level of the sea. It is distant about ten miles from Rutland village, from which is a very pleasant drive, and in the sultry days of midsummer, its cool sides and sum mit attract many excursionists, the view of scenery it affords from above Mt. Killington House being one of the grandest in the State. To the north of Killington, and crowding close on its base, is another prominent mountain, called Pico Peak. This elevation is thickly covered with a dense forest nearly to its summit, which is 3,917 feet above tide-water. The town is watered by several streams that have their sources among the mountains ; the only one of any importance, however, is Quechee River, which rises in the northern part of the town, traverses its whole length and enters the town of Bridgewater on the south, having numerous small tribu taries, whereon are situated a number of good mill-sites. There are but few good farms except those located in the valley of this river, where the soil is an alluvial deposit and very rich, producing quite readily, wheat, barley, oats, rye, buckwheat and Indian com. Stock and dairy-farming, however, greatly exceeds the grain-growing industry. Many farmers have neglected both, and fumed their attention to lumbering, which they consider more remunerative. The town in most parts has heavy forests of beech, birch, maple, hemlock and spruce, with some black and white ash. From the maple large quanti ties of sugar are manufactured, which forms quite an article of export. The population of Sherburne in 1880 was 450, and it was divided into seven school districts and had seven common schools, employing two male and eight female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $529.52. There were 124 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $594.96, with Millie A. Johnson as super intendent Sherburne, (p. o.) a small hamlet, located in the central part of the town ship, on Quechee River, contains one church, one hotel, one store, one black smith shop, one saw and grist mill, and about fifty inhabitants. North Sherburne, (p. o.) a hamlet, located in the northern part of the town, contains one blacksmith shop, one saw-mill, one steam saw and plan- ing-mill, and several dwellings. These constitute the only settlements ap proaching anything like a village in the township. Milo J. Moore 's saw-mill, located on Quechee River, near road 17, was built by J. P. and B. Wood in the year 1858. Mr. Moore employs six men and manufactures $3,000 worth of chair-stock, 200,000 shingles and about 300,000 feet of lumber per annum. Russell Madden' s chair-stock factory, located on Quechee River, near road 17, was built by Mr. Madden in 1876. He employs four men and manufac tures twenty car loads of chair-stock per annum. Charles C. Willard' s saw and grist-mill, located in the western part of the town, on one of the tributaries of the Quechee, called Thundering TOWN OF SHERBURNE. 23 1 Brook, has one run of stones and manufactures 2,000 feet of lumber per day. Owen W. Bates' saw-mill, also located on Thundering Brook, has the capacity for cutting 4,000 feet of lumber per day. D. M. White 6° Co.'s saw-mill was built in 1880, and now operated by Reuben Ranger of Mendon, who employs twenty-five men and manufac tures 10,000 feet of lumber per day. Lewis A. Willard 's saw-mill, located on Thundering Brook, was built by him in 1872. Mr. Willard manufactures 25,000 feet of clapboards and 50,000 feet of lumber per week. Isaac A. Morse's sazv and planing mill, located at North Sherburne, was built in 1874, and enlarged and steam-power added in 1880, so the mill now has the capacity for cutting 10,000 feet of lumber per day. • A. D. Estabrook's saw and shingle-mill, located at North Sherburne, was erected in 1873, with facilities for cutting 6,000 feet of lumber and manufac turing 10,000 shingles per day. The settlement of Sherburne is said to have been commenced by Isaiah Washburn in 1785. At the organization of the town, in 1794, the meeting was held at the house of Nathan Eddy, inn-holder, when the following offi cers were chosen :— Albro Anthony, town-clerk ; John Anthony, Nathan Eddy, Sr., and Seth Fuller, selectmen ; Samuel Anthony, Amasa Fuller and Richard Estabrook, listers, and Nathaniel Eddy, grand juror. The first marriage recorded is that of Nathan Eddy, Jr., and Rebecca Safford, October 28th, 1794. The first birth recorded is that of Luther, son of Asa and Briggs, some time in the year 1790. Asa settled at an early date in what is known as Sherburne Hollow, when bears were numer ous. It is related of him, that while upon west mountain one day, in the fall of the year, he caught a cub or young bear in his hands. He was closely pursued by the mother, and defended himself with a club. He would drive Bruin up a tree, and then run with the cub, until he would again have to defend himself from the attack of his pursuer. Being a tall, powerful man he succeeded in bringing home the cub. It was domesticated sufficiently to be admitted to the kitchen. When he sought winter quarters, he crawled into a large trough, hewed out of a log that stood partly in a temporary shed. The storms of winter came, his bed was covered with snow and ice, and he was completely frozen in. During the winter Mr. Briggs had visitors that wished to see the occupant of the trough in the wood-shed. He succeeded in removing him from his icy bed, and carried him into the house and warmed him by the fire. His bearship walked about the house, but was very cross at being disturbed in the midst of his winter's slumber, and returned to his resting place to await the return of spring. Bears have always been peculi arly abundant in Sherburne, there being quite a number found there at the present time. Elisha Colton, son of Silas Colton, who was one of the first settlers, has resided in the town about sixty-five years, and during that time has killed 100, three of them during the past year. 232 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY. The first hotel in the township was built by Josiah Wood in 1825; the house is located on road 16, and is at present occupied by George A. Petty. Park Wood, son of Josiah, was a graduate of Union College ; he studied law, and engaged in practice in Pekin, 111. In January, 1832, he com menced a journey from that place to Chicago on horseback. When about forty miles west of Chicago, in crossing Fox River on the ice, his horse broke through, and they both struggled for a time in the water, but succeeded in reaching the shore, when the man crept to a tree and leaned against it. This account was given some days after by an Indian to the Indian agent, who immediately sent a person to the place, and it was found he had died there, his name being learned by papers found upon his person. He was a man of fine talent, and promised to be a useful member of society and a blessing to the world. The first store was built in 1835 by Rufus Richard son, and kept by Charter Baxter and Asa Gaines. John Anthony was the first Representative from the town. On the 4th day of December, 1798, an election was held at the house of Asa Briggs to elect a representative, at which six votes were cast for Samuel Williams, Esq. During the late war of '61 and '65, Sherburne furnished seventy soldiers, seventeen of whom did not live to see the war closed. She paid $13,500 in bounties to her soldiers, raising the larger part of the money by taxation, at the time it was used, leaving the town comparatively free from debt. The Union Church, located at Sherburne village, was organized by Noah Johnson in 1840. Mr. Johnson was the first settled minister in the town, and organized the Church as a union institution, with about twenty-five members. This number has since increased to fifty, with no regular pastor at present The building is a modest affair, erected in 1840, at a cost of about $1,000, raised by subscription. It will comfortably seat about 200 persons, and in cluding the whole church property, is now valued at $1,000. |||HREWSBURY is located in the eastern part of the county in lat. 43° "fj|f 31' and long. 4° 11' east from Washington, bordering on the west the 4$ town of Clarendon, while Mendon lies to the north, Plymouth, Windsor County, on the east, and Mount Holly and Wallingford on the south. The township contains an area of 25,392 acres, lying mostly on the Green Mountain range, which is here quite elevated. Shrewsbury peak, lying in the north-eastern part, near Mendon, being 4,000 feet above tide water, is one of the highest peaks in the Green Mountain range. Round Hill, in the north-western part, is also a high elevation. The country is well watered by numerous streams that have their sources among the mountains. Mill River, the most considerable, flows a north westerly course through the south-west part of the town, and contains numerous mill privileges, of which there are many that, are not occupied. Cold River, the next in size, rises in the central part of the town, flows a o^LAUREL GLEN MAUSOLEUM,^=> A Magnificent Private Family Tomb, Founded and Built at Cuttingsville, Vermont, by John P.

Roaring Brook, one of the head tributaries of Black River, rises in the north-eastern part of the town, flows an easterly course and empties into Black River in Plymouth. Gould Brook heads on Shrewsbury Peak, flows westerly and empties into Cold River. Near the mouth of Gould Brook is a mineral spring called " Sulphur Spring," the waters of which have been used for medicinal purposes. There are two considerable ponds in the south part of the town — Ashley's and Peal's, and another near the Willard Johnson farm, which was once bought by a Rutland company for the purpose of dig ging peat for fuel. There never was much done at it however. Spring Lake, formerly called Shrewsbury Pond, is situated in the south-west part of the town, several hundred feet above Mill River, and is one mile in length by a half mile in width, abounds in trout and has no visible inlet. The principal rocks of the town are those peculiar to the Green Mountain range. In the southern part is found a considerable deposit of copperas, at a poin: called Copperas Hill. In 1828 it was purchased of Calvin Robinson, of Cuttingsville, by a company chartered as the "Green Mountain Manufac turing Co." conducted by Jeremiah Dow. The company employed some thirty men and made nine tons of copperas daily ; the works have long since been abandoned, though great quantities of copperas still remain in the mine. The soil is a very fertile, light loam, well adapted to grass, wheat, oats and potatoes, affording facilities for a great dairy town, " Shrewsbury butter-" being noted for its excellent quality throughout the State. Lumber is quite an article of export, the timber being mostly beech, birch, maple, hemlock and spruce, with some balsam and black ash, large quantities of sugar being manufactured from the maple. There is but little fruit grown. Shrewsbury was chartered September 4, 1 761, by Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, to Samuel Ashley and sixty-three others, only one of the original proprietors ever settling in the town. It was not or ganized until March 20, 1781, and still retains its original limits, except one square mile taken from the town of Plymouth, Windsor County, and annexed to Shrewsbury, October 21, 1823. At the first town meeting, held March 20, 1 781, the following officers were chosen : Lemuel White, moderator; Aaron Esty, town clerk ; Lemuel White, Samuel Benton and Nehemiah Smith, selectmen; Benedict Webber, town treasurer; Zebediah Green, constable and collector, and Samuel Benton, Joseph Randall and William Smith, listers ; Samuel Benton, grand juror. The Central Vermont Railroad passes through the south-western part of the town, affording the township good facilities for transportation. The population of Shrewsbury, in 1880 was 1,235, of which all but one family were whites. During the year ending October 31, 1880, the town had four teen school districts, employing four male and seventeen female teachers, whose united salaries amounted to $1,404.55. The number of pupils attend ing school during the year was 316, and the entire cost of the schools was $1,642.82, with Geo. Rustedt superintendent of public schools. -15% 234 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY. Cuttingsvillle, a post village and station on the Central Vermont Rail road, lies in the south-west part of the town, about nine miles distant from Rutland. Mill River runs through the village, which contains about twenty dwellings, one church, one hotel, two stores, one grist and saw-mill, two blacksmith shops, one harness shop, one shoe shop, two milliners' and one dressmaker's shops. In a small unpretentious rural graveyard, located in this village, there has been erected a Grecian tomb which is one of the marvels of its class on this continent ; a gem, that will continue to delight the hearts of lovers of the beautiful through countless ages, and imperishable as the rock-ribbed hills that form its setting. " Laurel Glen Mausoleum " was begun in July of 1880, at the order of Mr. John P. Bowman, a wealthy resident of Creek Centre, New York, a native of Clarendon, Vermont, in memory of his wife and two daughters, of whom he has been bereaved by sudden and repeated strokes, and for over a year, 125 men, sculptors, granite and marble cutters, masons and laborers, were employed in erecting it in all its classic details, until it stands complete to-day, the only monument of pure Grecian archi tecture in the country. Its dimensions externally at base are seventeen feet six inches by twenty-four feet, and twenty feet high from grade line to apex of roof. There have been 750 tons of granite. 50 tons of marble and 20,000 bricks used in its construction, which together with improvements upon its surroundings has cost the owner $75,000.00. In general exterior it has the appearance of a miniature Grecian temple, composed of massive blocks of granite, the roof alone weighing forty tons ; while its interior is that of a grand mausoleum vestibule, sheltering the vault that contains the cherished dead. The inside door is a mighty granite monolith of 6,500 pounds weight, yet equilibrated with such nicety that it may be noiselessly turned upon its hinges by a touch of the finger. The whole exterior, except the floors which are of English Encaustic Tiles, is of the choicest statuary and Brocadilla marble, the wainscotting, columns &c, highly polished and deeply wrought with emblems and tracery of the most elaborate character. At a point opposite the entrance, solid plate-glass mir rors have been set in such a manner as to produce the most dazzling optical illusion, taking up and reflecting almost to infinity in all directions the statues and carved work, until the observer standing within the space seems to be in the center of a vast area thronged with the choicest effects of sculptured architecture. The only external statue is one in life size of Mr. Bowman, represented in the act of ascending the broad steps, key in hand, to open the shelter of the "couch of dreamless sleep," where rests his cherished dead, bearing in his hand a wreath of immortelles, his mantle thrown over his arm, a graceful drapery falling in the negligee of sorrow, forming a whole that tells its own silent tale of grief and sadness. Previous to the erection of this gem of mortuary art, the little rural burial-ground where it is located had nothing to distinguish it from others of its class ; but now, in point of beauty, it vies TOWN OF SHREWSBURY. 235 with the more pretentious '' cities of the dead " located in the midst of more populous communities. The whole ground has been graded and laid out in beautiful grass plats, decked with rare flowers and furnished with smooth gravel walks, and the whole fronted by a granite wall of broken ashler ma sonry, the paneled posts terminated with beautifully cut vases of solid granite for the reception of flowers, while several hundred yards back of the cemetery, high up on the hill, has been built a reservoir, fed by a small brook, that furnishes water for a beautiful fountain. Taken all in all, Mr. Bowman has called into existence such a rare scene of loveliness, that long after he has "gone down to the dust from whence he sprung," Laurel Glen Mausoleum will preserve fresh and green the memory of his name. Shrewsbury (p. o.,) a hamlet situated near the centre of the town, con tains one church, a post-office, one blacksmith shop, one cheese-factory and nine dwellings. North Shrewsbury (p. o.,) a hamlet, situated a little east of the central part of the town, contains one church, one store, one blacksmith shop, the steam-mill of N. J. Aldrich & Co., and about a dozen dwellings. N. J. Aldrich 6- Co.'s mill is run by a 30 horse-power engine, and uses one circular saw for cutting lumber, three gigger, or band-saws for cutting chair stock and four other small saws, for cutting lath, &c. The Company employs about fifteen men, who cut from 800,000 to 1,500,000 feet of lumber, and stock for 123,000 chairs, annually. R. P. Burdett s steam-mill is situated in the northern part of the town, on Cold River. It is run by a 75 horse-power engine, uses one circular-saw for lumber, two gigger or band-saws, and two gauge lathes. It employs twelve men, and cuts 2,000,000 feet of lumber per year, and manufactures a car load of chair-stock weekly. D. M. White 6° Co.'s steam mill, in the north part of the town, is en gaged in the manufacture of nail-keg staves, under the management of Pom eroy & Sipple, who employ eight men, and manufacture staves for 1,000 nail kegs daily. The Bates Cheese Factory, owned by James Huntoon, and operated by W. E. Aldrich, receives the milk of 250 cows, manufacturing therefrom 40,000 lbs. of cheese per annum. The Gilson Cheese Factory, located at Shrewsbury, receives the milk of 400 cows, and manufactures 112,000 lbs. of cheese per annum. North Shrewsbury Cheese Factory, owned and operated by W. E. Aldrich, receives the milk of 300 cows, from which is manufactured 50,000 lbs. of cheese per annum. Lyman Russell's saw mill, located in the southern part of the town, is operated by water power, has one circular saw, and -cuts 5oo,ooq feet of lumber yearly. , Capt. Lemuel White was the first settler in Shrewsbury, coming thither from Rockingham, Vt, in the year 1777, settling on the farm now owned by 236 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY. Willard Smith, where he cleared the first land and built the first house in the town. It was in this house that the charter meeting of the town was held, March 20, 1781, at which Mr. White was chosen moderator, four years after his settlement. On the 23d of July, 1778, Lemuel was married to Zilpha Bowdish, the first marriage ceremony that occurred, and was per formed by Joseph Bowker, a justice of the peace. As a fruit of this marriage, there was born to them a daughter, Anna, on the 15th of August, 1779, being the first birth that occurred in the town. Lemuel was also captain of the first militia and first representative of the town, a man possessed of much shrewd, common sense, although he could neither' read nor write. The following anecdote, which is related of him, may perhaps give some insight into his character : — " Farming tools were not so plenty in those days but that people had to borrow from one another. A Mr. Aldrich sent to borrow Capt. White's harrow. Capt. White returned word that if Mr. Aldrich would bring his land there he might use- his harrow." He died of the great epi demic of March. 1813, and many of his descendants still reside in Shrewsbury and vicinity. The first male child born in the town was Jonathan Smith, born May 4, 1780. The first grist mill was located on the farm now owned by Webb Sinclair, and was swept away by a freshet in July of the year 181 1. Nehemiah Smith and his sons, Nathan, William and Job, came to this town from Rhode Island, in 1780, settling upon the farm now owned by Willard Smith, where they used the shelter of a large projecting rock as a sleeping chamber, until they had erected a log house. Until they had made a clearing large enough whereon to raise some grain, they had no means of subsistence except by manufacturing potash and burning charcoal, which was carried to Troy on horseback, a distance of seventy-five miles, and there ex changed for grain, Troy being the nearest point that such goods were sal able. Ziba Aldrich settled in Shrewsbury, also during this year, (1780,) locating on Mill River, near the farm now owned by Amos Pratt. Mr. Aldrich was born in Mendon, Mass., in 1753, and while quite young moved with his parents to Richmond, N. H., where he was subsequently married, and with his wife and two children emigrated to this . place. His was the fourth family that moved to the town, and consequently participated in all the vicissitudes that occurred to its early inhabitants, and through it all, Mr. Aldrich, by his manly christian life, gained the confidence of the entire community, which he retained until his death, July 23d, 1840, at the advanced age of 87 years. Jeffrey A. Barney came to the town in 1780, from Richmond, N. H., set tling on Mill River, upon the farm now owned by David Waterman. On their journey thither from New Hampshire, Mrs. Barney traveled on horseback, while Jeffrey walked the whole distance, driving two cows. They had been here but a few weeks, when, it is related the cows strayed off into the forest TOWN OF SHREWSBURY. 237 and in the evening at the usual time for them to return, were not to be found. So, early on the following morning, Jeffrey, taking his dinner with him, started off in search of them. He tracked them through the forest a distance of forty miles, and at last found them near the source of Black River. During the tramp through the forest, Mr. Barney lost his dinner, so had nothing to eat until he had returned on his journey as far as the " Port Wine Tavern " in Cavendish, a distance of twenty miles. Thus Mr. Barney had a walk of sixty miles with no refreshments. Benedict Webber's was the fifth family that moved to the town, settling here in 1780. Mr. Webber's mother, widow of William, died on the 9th of April, 1782, the first death that occurred in the town. Mrs. Webber's death was a sad one, she having accidently fallen into the broad fire-place, and before she could be rescued, was burned so badly that she expired a few hours afterwards. John Kilburn, a surveyor, came from Walpole, N. H., settling in Shrews bury in 1785, where he was elected town clerk in 1789, which office he con tinued to hold for forty consecutive years. In 1836, he removed to Canton, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., where he died at an advanced age, mourned and respected by all. At the annual town-meeting, held at Shrewsbury in March, 1878, it was voted that a set of marble head-stones be furnished Mr. Kilburn's grave in Canton, at the expense of the town of Shrewsbury, as a token of respect and in memory cf his long life among them. The stones were manufactured and sent to Canton the same year. Nathan Phinney was also one of the earliest settlers in the town, and for a long time kept the first tavern, located on the farm now owned by Amos Pratt: At one time a band of smugglers was chased by the officers from Rutland to the Phinney tavern. The smugglers had a sleigh-load of fine goods which they had smuggled from Canada, which, just before they reached the Phinney stand, they threw over a high embankment. When the officers caught them at Phinney's, they of course could find no trace of smuggled goods, so were obliged, though reluctantly, to give up the search and return to Rutland. After they had left, the smugglers gathered up the contraband property and proceeded with it to Boston, where it brought a good round price. Nathan Russell settled on the farm now owned by William Russell, in 1786, coming from Barry, Mass. Mr. Russell lived alone in his log-cabin three years before he was married, having to carry his grain to Woodstock on horseback, a distance of twenty-two miles, this being the nearest grist mill. He died in 1856, at the advanced age of 92 years, leaving eighteen children to mourn his loss. Uriah Cook, a hero of the Revolution, came to Shrewsbury from Rich mond, Mass., in 1780, settling on the farm now owned by his son Hiram. David Holden came to this town from Barry, Mass., at an early date, settling on the farm now owned by S. F. Smith. 238 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY. Willard Colburn came from Dedham, Mass., in 1790, and located on the farm now owned by his great grandson, David C. Colburn. Phileman Adams came in 1792 from Medway, Mass., and purchased the farm now owned by Perin Johnson, which is the second farm that was cleared in the town. Benjamin Needham was among the early settlers of the town, coming from Biilerica, Mass. Mr. Needham was in the army all through the war of the Revolution, and his sons Benjamin and Joseph, and a grandson, Benjamin, were in the war of 1812. His grandson, Horace, died while engaged in the war with Mexico, and his three great grandsons, Benjamin, Joseph and Horace, were all engaged in the late war of 1861, Horace being killed in action at Richmond, Va. Among the early settlers there are also found the names of Job Buckmas- ter, Martin Dawson, Abram Gibson, Ephriam Pierce and Moses Colburn. Jacob Guild, of Walpole, N. H., and Esquire Morse, of Medway, Mass., came on foot through the wilderness and commenced a clearing in the north east part of the town, on the land now owned by N. J. Aldrich & Co., in the year 1795. After working together for a time Mr. Guild, in felling a tree, nearly killed Mr. Morse in its fall. This aroused a suspicion in the mind of Morse that Guild wished to get rid of him ; so they divided their land, each living on his own part. Mr. Guild died March 1, 1829, aged 53 years. Mr. Morse died May 14, 1846, aged 71 years. Philip Billings, from Sunderlin, Mass., came to Shrewsbury in October of 1783, locating upon the farm now owned by Enoch Smith, of Clarendon. Mr. Billings was an old Revolutionary soldier and resided in the town until his death, in October, 1808. The house built by him, in 1794, is still stand ing in a state of good preservation. He had a family of three children, Jonathan, David and Lovisa. Franklin, son of David, born April 19, 1807, is now a resident of Rutland, at the age of 74. Among the natives of Shrewsbury, who have become men of note in other localities, may be mentioned the names of Austin P. and Clark W. Story, sons of J. B. Story, of Cuttingsville, who are now prominent men of Chilli- cothe, Ohio. Austin P. is president of the Ross County Bank ; also an ex tensive farmer and tanner, and one of the leading men of the place. Clark W. is one of the wide-awake business men of the place, now doing the largest dry goods and carpet business in that county. The first school-house' in town was built in the woods, near Willard Smith's, made of logs, the site still being used for the same purpose. Capt. John Kilburn kept the first school. The first resident clergyman of the town was Rev. Moses Winchester, who was born in Westmoreland, N. H., March 1, 1798. He came to Shrewsbury when he was 18 years of age and com menced to preach the Christian theology. He did not have a theological education, but was a very devoted christian and an earnest preacher. He was the first installed minister over a church in town, and drew the minis- TOWN OF SUDBURY. 239 terial land. He was very much loved by the people, although a little peculiar in some things. At one time he went to a neighbor's for a visit. When they came to sit down to tea, the lady said that she "had nothing fit to eat." He told her if she had nothing fit to eat that he would not eat any thing; so he got up from the table and went without his supper. He died March 6, 1868, aged "three score years and ten." The first church built in town was the Univertalist Church at Shrewsbury village, erected in 1804. The Universalist church society was organized by John Kilburn, Jr., in 1807, with thirty-two members. The society now num bers only about twenty-five, with Rev. Geo. S. Gurnsey as pastor. The First Christian Church, located at North Shrewsbury, was organized Nov. 9, 1822, by a council composed of Pearl Parker, Jonah Aldrich and forty-two others. Rev. Noah Johnson was the first pastor. The society now numbers about twenty-five members, and has no regular pastor. The house of worship was not erected until 1841, and is valued, including grounds, at about $1,000.00. The house will comfortably seat 300 persons. The Union Church, located at Cuttingsville, was originally organized in 1842 by the Congregational and Baptist societies, few in numbers, yet brave in action. They struggled to maintain the church until depleted by death and removals, they could no longer sustain religious worship. At this crisis, in 1859, the trustees gave the Methodist Society permission to occupy the church, and it was reorganized as a Methodist church, although the few who were interested in religious work of all evangelical denominations joined hands in the good work. The building was erected in 1842, with Rev. M. A. Wicker as pastor. Rev. J. E. Knapp is the present pastor, with a member ship of about twenty. The building is valued at about $1,000.00, will comfortably seat 250 persons, and is still owned by the Baptist and Congre gational Association of Vermont. The Second Advent Church, located at North Shrewsbury, was organized by its first pastor, Rev. W. I. Blanchard, with eight members, on the 8th of April, 1878. The society now numbers thirteen members, who hold their meetings in the Christian church, with Rev. W. O. Bibbins acting pastor. fjUDBURY is located in the north-west corner of the County in lat. 43° 47' and long. 3° 54' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Whiting in Addison County, east by Benson, south by Hubbardton, and west by Orwell in Addison County. (Orwell formerly belonged to Rutland County, but was annexed to Addison by an Act of the Legislature November 13, 1847.) It was chartered August 6, 1761, by Benning Went worth of New Hampshire, and contained 13,426 acres. Just at what date the township was organized, we are unable to state. The first records of any town-meeting dates back to January 15, 1789, at which John Hall was chosen moderator ; but this was not the first meeting held, for some pages in the fore part of the book of records are missing. 240 TOWN OF SUDBURY. The surface is broken and uneven ; a high ridge of hills extending through the township from north to south forms the watershed of the country, dis charging the streams of the eastern part into Otter Creek, while those in the western section find their way into Lake Champlain. There is much good farming land in the town, situated westerly in the valleys of the several streams; while the hillsides afford pasturage for numerous herds of sheep and cattle, forming the principal wealth of the people. The soil is mostly a rich loam, producing wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat, Indian corn, potatoes and hay. The land is irrigated by numerous streams, but none except Otter Creek of any considerable size. This stream enters the township at the north-east corner, and traverses about one-half the eastern part of the town where it enters Brandon. Several very handsome little ponds lie distributed over the surface of the country, which, as they lie nestled among the hills, lend a charm and beauty to the scenery of the town that has become pro verbial, and which attracts hundreds each summer from the crowded cities to these healthful hills. Lake Hortonia in the south-west part of the town, extending into Hubbardton, is the largest sheet, being about two miles in length by a half in width. Of the others, High and Burr ponds in the south part, and Huff Pond in the central, are the largest. The timber is prin cipally pine, beech and maple. In 1880, Sudbury had a population of 562, and was divided into five school districts and contained five common schools, employing three male and seven female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $623.00. There were iSS pupils attending common school, and the total amount expended for schools during the year ending October 31st, was $694.87. Mr. W. J.. Sawyer was school superintendent. Sudbury, (p. o.) a small hamlet located in the western part of the town, contains one hotel, one church, one store and about fifteen dwellings. Burr's saw mill, located in the south part of the town, is the only saw mill in the township. It is situated on the outlet of Burr Pond, and has the same frame that was built seventy-two years ago, which is in good condition yet. Roger Burr settled here in 1784, the farm now being occupied by his son, Asahel Burr. He was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, where he served three years ; he was a very enterprising man, and took an active part in building the first church in town in 1807. The timber was mostly cut on his land and sawed at his mill. When he came here there was no house in the township south of the present hamlet of Sudbury, and the surface was covered with a dense wilderness. He built a small camp, where he resided until he could build a log house. Wild animals were numerous, and for a long time he could scarcely keep any sheep on account of the wolves. Mr. Burr died in December, 1827, at an advanced age. His son, Roger, still retains the old homestead and mill, and although 87 years of age, he still retains his mental faculties wonderfully well. He was present at the battle of Plattsburgh, which occurred when he was 2 1 years of age. TOWN OF SUDBURY. 24 1 The first hotel in town was kept by Mills, and was located on the present site of the Hyde Hotel, about one mile south of Sudbury hamlet, and was sold to Mr. Pitt W. Hyde by Mills, in 1801. Mr. Hyde immediately made improvements, and it soon became, and still is, one of the most popu lar summer resorts in New England. It is located in a beautiful valley, and is 80x150 feet and five stories high, containing about ninety sleeping apart ments, with a dining-room capable of seating at family tables, 200 guests, is supplied with all modern improvements, and has connected with it two cottages. A three- story building, 46x60 feet, the lower floor of which is to be used as' a concert hall or opera house, furnished with a very fine stage 35x15 feet in dimensions, has been erected this season (1881.) The hotel is open from May until November, during which time it is thronged with guests. The Hyde family figured conspicuously in the early history of the town ; Pitt W. Hyde, fifth son of Capt. Jedediah Hyde, was born in Norwich, Conn., and settled in Sudbury in 1801. He was the father of James K. Hyde, who succeeded him in the proprietorship of the hotel. James, for many years one of the most popular hotel keepers in the State, was judge of the county court, and held many other responsible positions. Pitt W. died at the age of 45 years. Hon. James K. Hyde died of typhoid pneumonia, Sept. 21, 1870, aged 68 years. His son, A. W. Hyde, is the present proprietor of the hotel. Thomas W. Hyde came to Sudbury in 1808, from Mapletown, N.Y., settling on road 28, just north of the Hyde Hotel, on the farm now owned by Rodney Barber. He was justice of the peace many years, also selectman, and held other responsible positions in the township. His son, William P. Hyde, aged 67, is still a resident of the town. Thomas W. died February 22, 1865, in the 91st year of his age. ' A number of settlements had been made in the town previous to the war of the Revolution, but at the breaking out of this war, the town was deserted, and so remained until after peace was declared, when the settlers began to return again. Benoni Griffin came to Vermont from Simsbury, Conn., stopping a few years in Castleton, from whence he removed to Sudbury in 1799, settling on the farm now owned by his son Benoni, Jr. The old house which Mr. Griffin built about 80 years ago, is still standing. There was also a house on the place when Mr. Griffin bought it, which was built some years previous, by Andrew Gates who owned several hundred acres of land in this vicinity. Mr. Griffin had no political aspirations, but was valued by his neighbors for his sound judgment and good sense, being often called upon by them to apprize property, as cattle and grain were here a legal tender at that time. Mr. Griffin was twice married, and by his second wife had five children, none of whom now reside in the township, except Benoni, Jr., who is the present town Representative, and has been a popular man in town for many years. The old Military Road enters Sudbury in the south-east part of the town, traversing it in a north-westerly direction, and passes out again at the north- -16 242 TOWN OF SUDBURY. west corner. It was over this road that the munitions of war were carried from Bennington to Ticonderoga in the Revolutionary times, and it was after wards used by the settlers before other roads were laid out, the " old turn pike" not being built until many years after. Near this road, on the farm of Mr. Griffin is a famous spring of clear cold water, called "Cold Spring." It is related that on one occasion a party of Indians were passing through the the town with two prisoners, one of them a very large, and the other a very small man. The larger one was afflicted with a very sore foot, upon which his red captors, out of pure malice, would jump and stamp. This so exas perated his small companion, that he warned them in no very choice language that it would not be well for them to attempt the same experiment with him ; at this, one of them stung by his taunts attempted it, and was ' immediately knocked down by the plucky little fellow. This act was loudly applauded by the discomfited Indian's companions, and the prisoner was molested no more. They soon after arrived at Cold Spring, and while several of them were stooped down to drink, the small man suddenly picked up a dog belonging to the Indians, and from an eminence of several feet, hurled it down upon their heads. For these acts of bravery he was much petted by the Indians, and finally allowed his liberty. A little south of the spring there was once an Indian camp, where many Indian relics have since been found, arrow heads, finished and unfinished, stone pestles for pounding corn, many of them decorated with antique designs, stone images, etc. Cold Spring is also the site of an encampment of the Continental army, many relics having been plowed up, consisting of bayonets, ramrods, knives, and upon one occasion a large cop per camp-kettle. It is also related that many years ago, an old Revolutionary soldier named Enos, journeyed hither from a distant part of the State, just for the purpose of once more drinking from the old spring. During the late war, Mr. Griffin was a recruiting-officer for this town, the enlisted men being assigned to different companies and regiments. One, Alva Allen, from this town, suffered for a long time at Libby Prison, and when at last released, his life was despaired of by the physicians ; but he ulti mately recovered and is now a resident of the township. Peter Reynolds was one of the early settlers, having come into the town by the way of Otter Creek, traveling on the ice, and built a tent on the line between Brandon and Sudbury, subsequently settling in Brandon ; but the high water the next spring drove him out, and he crossed the creek on a raft and settled in Sudbury, where he was justice of the peace many years, and held several other town offices. John C. Sawyer was born in Brandon, January 17, 1800. When he was four years of age he was adopted by David Layton, of Sudbury, and has re sided in this town ever since. Mr. Layton, his foster father, settled on road 4, corner of 5, upon the farm originally settled by one David Smith. Mr. Layton, dying without issue, the property reverted to Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Saw yer was twice married, having by his first wife, Lois Rhodes, of Stafford, Vt., TOWN OF SUDBURY. 243 one son, David Layton Sawyer. For his seco'nd wife he married the widow of Charles Rhodes, of Sudbury, who was an uncle to Stephen A. Douglass. David Layton operated a tannery, manufactured potash, and was a hatter, located on road 4, a little north of the " Sawyer Stand," which was at that time a place of some considerable note, it being the "half-way house " from Brandon to Orwell, and a station on the old stage-road from Vergennes to Whitehall, and from Rutland to Lake Champlain, all the goods from the iron-works of Brandon and Pittsford being transported over it to the Lake. Thomas Ketcham, born February 8, 1748, died May 19, 1834, aged 86 years. He immigrated from Dutchess County, N. Y., to Sudbury at a very early date in the history of the township, and was the father of twelve children. Maj. Barnard Ketcham, son of Thomas, located on road 1, corner road 2, where he married a daughter of Aaron Jackson. The Major was one of the most prominent men in the township, having held offices of various ranks, both civil and military, and at the time of his death was one of the most wealthy men in the township. The descendants of Thomas Ketcham are very numerous, and scattered in various parts of the State and country. Aaron Jackson was also one of the earliest settlers, having located on road 1. It is claimed he built the first frame house in town, the lumber being rafted from Sutherland Falls to Miller's Bridge, in this town, from whence it was conveyed through the wilderness, the way being traced by the means of marked trees. He also had the first oven in town, wherein was baked the first loaf of bread made from wheat grown in the township, and is also accredited with manufacturing the first cheese. At the age of sixteen, together with his father and a younger brother, he entered the Continental army, being present at the battle of Bunker Hill, where he received a sun stroke, from which he never fully recovered. He died in Sudbury at the early age of 44. John Jackson and Judge Joseph Warren were proprietors of the first store kept in the town, which was located on the site of the pres ent store kept by N. F. Bucklin. Capt. Pearse was an early settler, having located on the farm now owned by M. H. Landon, his old log house having stood just back of where the barn now stands. He also built the house now occupied by Smith Germond, and is the one in which Pearse's death occurred. Charles Young came from Athal, Mass., settling in Sudbury about the year 1805, upon the farm now owned by his son. Simeon Young located on road 33, where he resided until his death, which occurred on December 30 1863, aged 75 years. Timothy Miller came to Sudbury from Massachusetts in 1771, settling on the land now owned by Andrew Steele ; but afterwards located at the west end of what is now known as Miller's Bridge, where he built a log house in which he resided three years, when the Indians became so troublesome he was again obliged to move, and did not return until after the Revolution; 244 TOWN OF SUDBURY. He was a very public spirited man, and was justice of the peace a number of years, dying in 1825, aged 75 years. Isaac Huff, born in 1744, came to Sudbury from Nine Partners, N. Y., in 1790, and rented a place on road 22, where Steele's cider mill now stands, at which place he remained one year. During that time he cleared enough land on road 20, upon which to build a log house. In this house he dwelt' until 181 2, when he erected a frame house in the same vicinity, which is now occupied by his grandsons, Benj. F. and John Huff. He died in 1821, aged 77 years, leaving six children as follows: — Israel, Lawrence, James and Ellis, and two daughters, Susan and Rebecca, most of whom removed to the West. James remained on the old homestead which is now occupied by his sons. The old farm house has undergone no change of any account, and is now a very comfortable structure. At the time Isaac came here there were no roads in the township, he having to travel through the forest, finding his way by means of marked trees. James lived to the age of 73 years and 11 months, marrying for his first wife, Lucy Reynolds, unto whom was born one daughter, (now Clark Morton's wife,) and three sons, Andrew J., Benj. F. and John. Gideon Morton was born in Orwell, Addison County, in 1789, and died in Sudbury, April 2, 1870, aged 83. He purchased the farm now owned by Solon Bresee, located on road 31, early in the present century, upon which he resided until 1843, wnen he removed to road 20, where his son, Benjamin L., now resides. Mr. M. was a physician by profession, and at his death left three daughters and two sons. Reuben Allen settled on road 25 at an early date, where he resided until his death at an advanced age. At the time of the battle of Plattsburgh, during the war of 181 2, although Reuben was much too old for military duty, he shouldered his gun and started for the scene of strife. Dea. Eli Roys settled on road 19, where C. C. Selleck now resides, in 1790. He was a noted trapper and hunter, and once caught a wolf on the spot where the Sudbury meeting-house now stands. On the land owned by Marcellus Landon, there was a signal post estab lished in 1879, although no observations have yet been made. It is the highest point of land in the township, and affords a magnificent view of the surrounding country. From here can be seen Lake Champlain, Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Fort Henry, Middlebury, Brandon, and the line of the Green Mountains, as well as many other points of interest. On road 25, near road 21, there is a cemetery beautifully located, where are buried the remains of many of the early settlers, also containing a very fine tomb, erected by Nathaniel Jackson. On the gravestones can be seen the names of Benoni Griffin, Elias Ketcham, Noah Merritt, Zebediah John son, Asahel, Joseph and Abijah Williams, and some of the Landons. On the ist of April, 1881, about ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. James K. Foster's house, located on road 5, corner of road 6, burned to the ground, TOWN OF TINMOUTH. 245 making the fifth time he had suffered in this manner during a period of seven years. In district No. 2, there was a brick building erected to be used both as a church and school-house, being the first school building erected in the town ship. The upper part of the building was built at the expense of Barnard Ketcham, David Layton and Enoch Smith, while the lower part was built by the district. The First Congregational Church, located at Sudbury hamlet, was organ ized in 1803, and had for its first pastor Silas Persons. The church building was erected in 1807, the land, consisting of about two acres, being donated by Apollos Rollo. The upper part is now used for church services, and the lower part as a town hall. It is valued at about $1,500. The society has no settled pastor at present. IplNMOUTH lies in the southern part of the county, in lat. 43° 27' and S" long. 40 2' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Clarendon # and Ira, east by Wallingford, south by Danby, and west by Wells and Middletown. It was chartered by the Governor of New Hampshire, Sept. 15th, 1761, to Joseph Hooker and others. The following is an extract copy of the charter-deed, which we insert for the reason that it is about the form used in chartering all the towns, and may be an object of interest to many : — " PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, George the Third, By the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, &c. To all Persons to whom these Presents shall come : GREETING : " KNOW YE, That we of our special grace, certain knowledge, and mere motion for the due encouragement of settling a new Plantation within our said Province, by and with the advice of our trusty and well-beloved Benning Wentworth, Esq., our Governor and Commander of our said Province of New Hampshire in New England, and of our Council of the said province, have upon the conditions and reservations hereinafter made, given and granted, and by these Presents for us, our Heirs, and successors, do give and grant in equai shares, unto our Loving Subjects, Inhabitants of our said Province of New Hampshire and our other Governments, and to their Heirs and assignees forever, whose names are entered on this grant, to be divided to and among them into seventy equal shares ; all that tract or Parcel of land, situate Lying and being within our said Province of New Hampshire, con taining by a measurement twenty-three Thousand and forty acres, which tract is to contain six miles square and no more, out of which an allowance is to be made for High Ways and unimprovable Lands by Rocks, Ponds, Mountains and Rivers, One Thousand and forty acres free, according to a plan and survey thereof, made by our said Governor's orders and returned into the secretary's office, and hereunto annexed, butted, and bounded as follows : — " Beginning at the North-East corner of Pawlet and running from thence due east six miles, from thence Turning off at Right Angles and running due 246 TOWN OF TINMOUTH.

B. WENTWORTH. " By His EXCELLENCY'S Command with Advice of Council. Theodore I. Atkinson, Secretary." The township was granted in seventy shares, with the following five shares reserved : " One tract to contain 500 acres, marked on the map B. W., for His Excellency, Benning Wentworth, Esq." One share for the incorporated society for the "Propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts," one share for a glebe for the Church of England, one share for the first settled min ister, and one share for the benefit of schools in said town. A part of the township was taken off in forming Middletown in 1784, and a part given to Wallingford in 1793, so that the township now contains only about 17,280 acres, or about three-fourths of its original area. Although the charter says that the first town meeting shall be held in 1762, it was not obeyed, and the town was not organized until March 8, 1774, at which meeting Charles Brewster was chosen town clerk. The surface of Tinmouth is rather broken and mountainous. Extending across the whole length of the town from north to south, is a range of moun tains which forms a natural division into "East" and "West Town." In the east part of the town this range is called West Mountain, while in the western part it is called East Mountain. West of this range is a fertile val ley, affording fine farming and grazing land, while to the east of it lies the valley of the Tinmouth River, which is very fertile. This is the principal stream of the town, rising in a little lakelet, called Tinmouth Pond, in the south-eastern part of the township, and flows a northerly course through Clarendon and unites with Otter Creek in Rutland. There are numerous streams throughout the town that have their sources among the mountain- springs, but none of them of much importance except to irrigate the soil. In the east part of the town there are found considerable deposits of iron ore and some good grades of marble, but they cannot be practically worked on account of their distance from a railroad. There was a furnace located here at one time for smelting the ore, but was abandoned in 1837. The timber of the town is mostly beech, birch, maple and white ash, with some spruce, cedar, etc. The soil is varied between slate, loam and cobble. In the western part farming is the principal pursuit, while in the eastern dairying exceeds the grain-growing interests. Nearly all the inhabitants are in comfortable circumstances, and many wealthy; there being but very few poor people in the town. Maple sugar and products of the dairy form the 248 TOWN OF TINMOUTH. principal exports. In 1880 Tinmouth had a population of 532, and was divided into seven school districts and had six common schools, employing four male and eleven female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $731.38. There were 120 pupils attending common schools, and the total cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $806.29. Mr. Clark Norton was superintendent. Tinmouth (p. o.) is a hamlet, near the centre of the town, and contains one store ; the mail leaving and returning by the way of Wallingford, three times each week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. H. Clark's cheese factory, located in the south-west part of the town, on road 33, was built in 1867. Mr. Clark employs two men, uses the milk from 200 cows, and manufactures 60.000 pounds of cheese per annum. Union Cheese Factory, located in West Tinmouth, on road 13, is operated by a stock company. They use the milk of 250 cows and manufacture 60,000 pounds of cheese per annum. Packard's saw and grist-mill is located near the centre of the town, on road 19. The grist-mill has one run of stones, and the saw-mill one circular saw, which cuts five to eight thousand feet of lumber per day. Mr. Packard does mostly custom work in both mills. Cold Spring Cheese Factory, located one-half mile east of the centre of the town, on road 19, was organized in 1873 by a stock company, with $2,450 capital. It uses the milk from 400 cows and manufactures 100,000 pounds of cheese per annum. Hoadley's saw and grist-mill, located about one mile south of the centre part of the town, on road 22, operates one run of stones and one saw, doing only custom-work. Maranville ' s saw mill, located in the north-west part of the town, on road 11, is a custom-mill, and uses only one saw. Eureka Cheese Factory, located in the north-east part of the town, on road 7, was built in 1875 by a stock company. It uses the milk of 230 cows and manufactures 65,000 pounds of cheese per annum. Valentine Cheese Factory, located in the eastern part of the town, owned by Linus E. and Edmund Valentine, was built in 1875, and uses the milk from eighty cows. Stinehour's saw and grist-mill, located near the centre of the town, owned by Nelson Stinehour, has one run of stones and the capacity for cutting 2,000 to 3,000 feet of lumber per day. West Tinmouth Cheese Factory, located in the south-western part of the town, owned and operated by Elkanah Parris, uses the milk from 175 cows per year. Many of the first settlers of Tinmouth came from Salisbury, Conn. Just at what date they came we are unable to state, but probably not long after 1 761, when the town was chartered. At the first settlement a number of fam ilies came simultaneously, so there is no particular family that can claim the TOWN OF TINMOUTH. 249 honor of having the first inhabitant as an ancestor. Among these families were those of Charles Brewster, John Spofford, John McNeal, John Trim, Samuel Chipman, James Adams and Benjamin Chandler. At the first town meeting, John McNeal was chosen moderator ; Charles Brewster, clerk ; and these two, with James Adams, selectmen. A short time after this, Ebenezer Allen and Stephen Royce came into the town, and were subsequently ap pointed delegates from Tinmouth to the first convention that was assembled to declare the New Hampshire Grants an independent State, and which was held in Dorset, at the house of Cephas Kent, July 24, 1776. Ebenezer Allen and Chas. Brewster were delegates to the convention that assembled at Windsor in July, 1777, and adopted the Constitution of Vermont. About 1778, Elihu Clark, Jonathan Bell, Thomas Porter, Obadiah Noble, Samuel Mattocks and Ebenezer Marvin moved into the town. Charles Brewster was the first Representative sent to the Legislature. He was also appointed a judge of the Special Court which was created for the Rutland shire of Bennington County, before Rutland County was organized. Col. John Spofford was a member of the convention that shaped the Consti tution of the U. S. preparatory to admitting Vermont into the Union. Ben jamin Chandler was killed at the Battle of Bennington, the only one from Tinmouth killed at that battle. On the 17th of February, 1777, the inhabitants of Tinmouth held a meeting at which was "voted not to raise money towards paying Seth Warner's regiment'' This led to the following oath of allegiance being imposed upon the town : — "You each of you swear, by the living God, that you believe for your selves, that the King of Great Britain hath not any right to command, or authority in or over the States of America, and that you do not hold your selves bound to yield any allegiance or obedience to him within the same, and that you will, to the utmost of your power, maintain and defend the freedom, independence and privileges of the United States of America, against all open enemies, or traitors, or conspirators whatsoever; so help you God." In the same year John Irish was shot by the Revolutionary soldiers Elisha Clark, John Train and Mr Cleff, he having been suspected by them of being a Tory and spy. He was buried in the north-east part of the town. At the surrender of Ticonderoga to the British, on the ist of July, 1777, a greater part of the inhabitants of Tinmouth moved into Arlington, Shafts- bury and Bennington, and indeed to any place where they could find safety, returning again, most of them, when Burgoyne left this section. The first marriage that is recorded in the record of marriages is that of Daniel Burr and Flora Warrenner, July 9, 1804. The first birth was that of Hannah, daughter of Rachel and Solomon Bingham, born July 8, 1774. The first death was that of an infant of Thomas and Peak, in 1770. At the organization of Rutland County, in 1781, Tinmouth was selected as the county seat, which dignity it retained until 1784 ; after this the courts were' held at Rutland. The first State treasury was also located here, at the residence of the treasurer, Mr. Mattocks. The room used for this purpose 250 TOWN OF TINMOUTH. is twenty feet long and six feet wide, lighted by two windows. It is still in a good state of preservation. The building is located in the north-east part of the town, on road 7, and is now owned and occupied by Mr. J. H. Round. Nathaniel Chipman was born in Salisbury, Conn., Nov. 15, 1752, and his father removed to Tinmouth among the first settlers. Nathaniel was edu cated at New Haven, and admitted to the Bar in Connecticut some time during March, 1779. He was married in March, 1781, and went immediately into possession of his father's farm in Tinmouth, where he built a forge for the manufacture of bar iron, but finally sold out to his brother, Darius, and removed to Rutland, where he resided until 1803, when he rebought the Tinmouth farm, where he resided until his death, Feb. 15, 1843. He represented the town of Tinmouth in the Legislature eight years, was two years judge of the District Court, six years judge of the Supreme Court of this State, and six years a senator in Congress. Judge Chipman, as a jurist, was not surpassed by any of his contemporaries. He lived to the age of 90, his mind strong and vigorous to the last. On Oct. 3, 1873, a monument was dedicated to his memory, furnished by the State of Vermont. The monu ment is 22 feet high from bottom of base to top of shaft, the base being of white and the column of clouded marble. It stands on a commanding eminence, about one-half mile east of the hamlet, and is surrounded by a handsome iron fence. It bears the following inscription : — " State of Vermont, to Nathaniel Chipman, Born in Salisbury, Conn., November 15, 1752. Died in Tinmouth, Vt, February 15th, 1843.

Holly, south by Mt. Tabor and Danby, and west by Tinmouth, containing an area of about 23,000 acres, well watered by numerous streams, furnishing good mill-sites, and made pic turesque by several ponds or lakes distributed over its surface. The principal stream is Otter Creek, which runs through the western part of the township, from south to north. Mill River flows through the north-eastern part, and Roaring Brook through nearly the whole width of the town from east to west, emptying into Otter Creek just west of the village of WalHngford. The largest pond, or lake, lies in the south-eastern part of the town, on the moun tains, covering an area of about 350 acres, and called Lake Hiram, or Wal lingford Pond. About a mile and a half to the south-west of this is another, covering about fifty acres, called Little Pond. Nearly opposite the village of Wallingford, and west of the creek, is another beautiful little sheet of water, covering about 100 acres, called Fox Pond. The whole town is peculiarly rich and varied in scenery; in the eastern section the Green Mountains rise in their grandeur, the highest ridge of which is here called " The White Rocks." Another elevation, near the centre of the town, and which is sepa rate from the mountains, is called " Green Hill," and covers a large area, composed of quartz rock, cropping out frequently in ledges. At the foot of White Rock an ice-bed forms among the broken rocks, which remains during the entire summer. Wallingford was chartered by New Hampshire, November 27, 1761; the proprietors also obtaining a charter from New York. The first proprietors' meeting was held at Wallingford, Connecticut, September 12, 1772, with Captain Eliakim Hall, moderator. The town was organized March 10, 1778, TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. 253 with Abraham Ives, moderator; Abraham Jackson Jr., clerk; Joseph Jack son, Abraham Ives and Jonah Ives, committee. The boundaries of the township have since been changed. October 31, 1792, 3,388 acres were taken from it to form, with Jackson's Gore and a portion of Ludlow, the township of Mt. Holly. Again, October 19, 1793, the Legislature passed an Act an nexing to Wallingford a portion of the town of Tinmouth. . This Act annexed that portion of the town called "West Hill," and was a full equivalent to Wallingford for all that had been taken from its eastern side. The soil on the lower lands is very rich and productive, especially along Otter Creek, where are situated some as beautiful farms as are to be found in the State. The higher lands were originally densely covered with heavy timber, while the lower lands were covered with deep swamps and thick jungles. Otter Creek was a black, sluggish stream, often dammed with drift wood, when it flooded the swamp for acres — the paradise of mosquitoes. In the very midst of what was then the swamp mentioned, now lies, sur rounded by broad pastures and beautiful farms, the pleasant little village of Wallingford. In 1880 the town had a population of 1,865, was divided into thirteen school districts and had sixteen common schools, employing two male and twenty female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2,420.70. During the year ending October 31st, there were 419 pupils attending common school, and the entire cost of the schools was $2,706.36. Mr. S. H. Archibald was superintendent. Wallingford, a post village and station on the Rutland and Bennington Railroad, which passes through the town from north to south, lies in the north-western part of the town, on Otter Creek; principally on one street running north and south, with the Catholic church at the northern extremity and the Congregational at the southern — modest though comely structures. It is about ten miles distant from Rutland, and contains nine stores, one photograph gallery, three blacksmith shops, three churches, one town hall, one school-house, one fork factory, harness and shoe shop, grist-mill, cheese factory, etc., and has about 625 inhabitants. The fork manufactory of Batcheller & Sons, the most important manu factory of the town, situated, in this village, on Otter Creek, employs about sixty men. Their goods have a wide reputation, being shipped to nearly all the countries in the world where American implements have been intro duced. Wallingford Graded School, situated on School street, is a very flourish ing institution, established September 1, 187 1. The building is very pleas antly located and capable of accommodating about 150 scholars, employs three teachers, with Prof. William H. Shaw as principal. South Wallingford, a post village, situated five miles south of Walling ford village, on Otter Creek, and about five miles north of Danby, is a station on the B. & R. R'y, containing about twenty dwellings, one church (Union), 254 TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. one grist and saw-mill, one cheese factory, one wood-pulp mill, one store and an express office, railroad depot and post-office combined. There is also found here a quarry of very marketable marble, and the South Wallingford Stone Mill employs eight gangs of saws in cutting it. The Pioneer Pulp Mill, located at this village, was established in May, 1880, by Julius T. Remington and Edward P. Ely. The partnership was dissolved on June nth of the same year, and the works are now owned by Edward P. Ely. Pulp is used in the manufacture of paper, and consists of wood, wet and ground into a pulpy substance. Mr. Ely manufactures about 3,000 pounds of dry pulp per day, and employs nine men. The mill is run by water-power, and has the convenience of a side-track from the railroad at the door. East Wallingford, a post village, situated in the eastern part of the town, on the Central Vermont Railroad, is about five miles distant from the other two villages. It has a very neat Baptist meeting-house, several stores and machine-shops, and is increasing in its business interests. Centreville, a hamlet, situated a mile and a quarter south-west of East Wallingford, contains ten dwellings, one saw-mill, one chair-stock mill, one cheese-box and butter tub factory, one blacksmith-shop and one school house. Gleason &* Chilson's cheese factory, at East Wallingford, uses the milk of 300 cows, and manufactures 60,000 pounds of cheese per year. Anderson's cheese factory, established in 1879, uses the milk from 275 cows, manufacturing about 48,000 pounds of cheese per annum. Pearl Cheese Factory, located one-fourth of a mile south of South Walling ford, was erected in the fall of 1873, at a cost of $3,000. It is owned by Abraham R. Ames, who manufactures 100,000 pounds of cheese per year, from the milk of 400 cows. The Town Farm is located one and one-fourth miles south-west of East Wallingford, and contains 140 acres, under the supervision of Hiland Johnson. The farm usually has on an average twelve of the town-poor on the premises. Wallingford receives its name from Wallingford, Conn., where resided the original proprietors. Abraham Jackson is usually conceded to have been the first settler possessing a legal title to his lands. He settled here with his family in the summer of 1773, and though he, with others that settled with him, were the first regular settlers, they were not, as has been erroiieously stated, the first inhabitants. Remember Baker, with a corps of assistants, surveyed the township in the year 1770. On the 2d day of June of that year he was at work in company with one, Wood, from Pawlet, (as per records). They commenced at the north-east corner of Danby, and after running two miles and sixty chains north, they heard chopping in the forest, to their right. They left their work, and following the sound, found, about forty rods to the east, on Otter Creek, a dwelling and small clearing. This was owned by Ephraim Seeley, undoubtedly the first inhabitant of. Walling- TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. 255 ford,- he having settled there, supposing he was in the town of Tinmouth. The site of his house was about thirty rods east of the George Earle place, the R. R. now running right through its old foundation. Four years after this, Mr. Seeley sold his improvements for £50, and bought in Danby for £l, where he resided until his death, leaving numerous descendants. John Hopkins was one of the earliest settlers of the town, coming from Salem, N. Y., in the spring of 1770. He settled on West Hill, which then belonged in the town of Tinmouth, where he chopped and cleared two acres of land, and sowed it with wheat. He had no house, and slept in a hollow log with the ends closed to keep the wolves out. His bread was baked in Danby, and his rifle supplied his table with meat. The autumn of that year he went to Danby Corners, when he married Charity Bromly. Returning early the following summer he built a log house, and his wife soon after joined him. The wheat he had sown the fall before, he found, on his return, had grown so tall that he could stand in the midst of it and tie the stalks over his head. Mr. Hopkins resided here until his death, at an advanced age, and many of his descendants still reside on West Hill. The site of the old house was just back of the orchard, on the farm where George Hopkins now resides. In 1784 Lent Ives built the house recently occupied by Dr. John E. Hitt, of Wallingford village. Ives was a returned Revolutionary soldier. Previous to his building this house, he had lived in a log house, situated where Rebecca Hull now resides. In buying land on which to build, the bounds were as follows: — Commencing at a stake and stone on the south end of the lot where the Congregational chapel now stands, running south on the highway, to the north bank of Roaring Brook, thence up said bank to where Frank H. Hoadley's blacksmith shop stands, thence parallel with the west line as far north as the place of beginning, thence west to the place of beginning. This lot included the best part of what is now Wallingford village. The house was built near the site of the residence of the late Isaac Munson. The barn was built where the residence of Lewis Cobb now stands. The space between the house and barn, and north of it, was used for many years as a public park and parade ground. The house was removed to the site where it. now stands, in the year 1855-56. It is built in the old gambrel- roof style, the posts larger at the top than the bottom, the walls ceiled and pannelled, the chimneys being built outside of the house at either end, and composed of brick, stone, and home-made mortar of clay. The floor was made of very wide, hard wood planks on the lower story, and pine of a superior quality above, the same floor being now in use. This house was soon . after opened by Ives as a hotel, and was used as such a long time, Ethan Allen having stopped there several times, the last time being the winter previous to his death. This description will serve as a fair picture of most any old-time mansion, showing how primitive was our forefather's style of architecture. 256 TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. Abraham Ives, an early settler in Wallingford, was the first high sheriff of Rutland County, holding the office from 1781 to '85. In selling the tract of land now known as Mendon, hei opened the sale at midnight of the day advertised, in the interest of certain Rutland men, the said land being pur chased by Jonathan Parker, — hence, Parkerstown. Ives, fearing prosecution for his irregularity, resigned his office, sold his property to Samuel Hull and left the State. The first grave in Wallingford Cemetery was made necessary in the follow ing manner: — About the year 1777, a Tory from Manchester attempted to go to Castleton and put himself under Royal protection. He had proceeded as far as Green Hill, Wallingford, when the citizens learning that he was on the hill, went out after him. He pointed his gun at them, when they im mediately shot him down, fatally wounded. He was carried to the residence of Mr. Benj. Bradley, where he was kindly cared for until he expired. He was buried on Mr. Bradley's farm, filling the first grave in Wallingford Cemetery, where hundreds now peacefully sleep within its hallowed precints. In the year 1779 there came into the town, settling at Wallingford village, two good men, who were afterwards quite prominent. One was Joseph Ran dall, the other, Nathaniel Ives. Mr. Randall was the first deacon of the Baptist Church of that village, and a man of earnestly correct principles. He at different times held many important positions both in the Church and in the town. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1793, and served both in the war of the Revolution and in the war of 18 12. Mr. Ives was the first deacon of the Congregational Church, and though not so distinguished as Mr. Randall, yet was held in great esteem by his fellow citi zens. The house where he first resided was near the spot now occupied by the residence of Mrs. Randall. It was a log cabin, as all the houses of the settlement at this time were, had a chimney but no hearth and no door, the entrance to the house being covered with a blanket. There was no bridge across Roaring Brook, which was a much larger stream than now, the only way to cross being upon logs, the upper sides of which were hewn off flat to make the walking less precarious. Mill Brook was then abundantly supplied with fish, while on Otter Creek there were plenty of mink, muskrats and beaver. The settlers at this time made their own sugar &c, and most of their clothing. Mrs. Abraham Ives and Mrs. Abraham Jackson each had a calico dress, costing them $15,00 a- piece, which were very much admired. The first grist mill was located at South Wallingford, built by Abraham Jackson. Joseph E. White, now a resident of Wallingford, has in his possession a gun with a very long barrel and long stock, being one of the Queen Anne arms, manufactured in England in 1740, Philip White carried it at the seige of Louisburg in 1774, and Nehemiah White carried it during the Revolu tionary war ; since which time it has been handed down from one genera tion to another, until it is now in the possession of Joseph White, as stated. TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. '256 Philip White and Nehemiah his son, and a daughter, Lois White, came to Wallingford about the year 1790, settling upon the Eli M. Ward place. They built a log house, which was succeeded in 1804 by the old house now used by Mr. Ward in which to make butter and cheese. The log house had only ablanketfor a door. One morning there was a' piece of venison lying just inside the door, and a large bear happening to stroll that way, scented it, and coolly stepped in and helped himself. Bruin had not counted the cost however, for before he could make his escape, Philip, taking down the old gun referred to, shot him dead. Hon. Harvey Button, an old and respected resident of Wallingford, was born in Clarendon, January, 17, 1800. He moved to the town of Walling ford June 1, 1826. Mr. Button is by profession a lawyer, and is now hale and hearty in body, possessing a vigorous mind. Stanley Stafford came to Wallingford from Danby, about the year 1795, and bought the John Reed grist and saw mill at South Wallingford. Mr. Stafford at that time was one of the largest real estate owners in the town. Asa Anderson settled on the farm now owned by his son Nathaniel, in 1790, when he was about 25 years of age. Mr. Anderson served four years in the Revolutionary war. Asa's house stood in the north-west corner of the lot where Nathaniel's now stands, some plum trees and a large apple tree marking the spot. Luther Holden, born in Mt. Holly, settled in East Wallingford at an early date, where he resided many years and then removed to South Wallingford, where he has since resided, being now 97 years of age. He is at present residing with his son, Jesse, and also has two sons residing in Hubbardton — Antipas E. Holden and Zimri H. Howard. Luther has a brother, Stephen Holden, of Mt. Holly, who is 96 years of age. John Ballou, from Richmond, N. H., came to Rutland County in 1800, locating in Shrewsbury, removing to Wallingford again after a few years residence in that town. In 1823 he purchased the farm in the north part of the town now owned by his daughter Olivia, who was born in 1813. Goodyear Clark, from Connecticut, came to this town previous to the Revolution, locating on a farm about half-'a-mile north of the present village of Wallingford. He died about the year 1850. P. G. Clark, son of Chancey and grandson of Goodyear, was born in 1805, and is now a resident of Wal lingford village. G. H. Edgerton came to Wallingford' in 1845, and engaged in the boot and shoe business, and was long known among the business men of the township, though he is now retired from business. His son, Charles M. Edgerton, was a lieutenant during the late war, and died in the hospital at Philadelphia, March 28, 1864. Zephaniah Hull came to Clarendon from Cheshire, Conn., at an early date, locating upon the place now owned by his grand-daughter. Rebecca F. Hull, at Wallingford village. Rebecca's father, Alfred Hull, was born Sept. 10, -16% 256s TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. 1794, and resided upon the old homestead all his life, dying March 28, i87S-. Hosea Eddy located in Wallingford in 1805, residing here until his death, in August, 1877. His son, E. O. Eddy, is still a resident of the town, at the age of 65 years. William Kent, from Leicester, Mass., came to Wallingford in 1802, locating in the east part of the town, and was followed the next year by his brother, Elias. William died in 1846, Elias in 1856, leaving three sons and one daughter ; the sons. Austin, Elias W. and Alonzo, are still residents of the town. Amasa, Ebenezer and Joel Hart, settled in the central part of the town previous to the Revolution. Levi, son of Amasa, is still a resident, at the age of 72 years. Howard Harris came to Wallingford in 1824, from Brattleboro, Vt., engaging in mercantile pursuits at Wallingford, in which he continued until December 25th, 1851, when his store and property, valued at $5,000, was destroyed by fire and was a total loss. Mr. Harris represented the town in 1836, and has served as town clerk many years. A daughter of Mr. Harris is the wife of Dr. George H. Fox, of Rutland. Elias Crary, from New Haven, Conn., came to Wallingford at an early date, locating in the north part of the town, upon the farm now owned by Edwin Crary. Frank L., a grandson of Elias, is also a present resident of the town. Edwin Martindale came to this town in 1832, where he was engaged in mercantile pursuits for a period of over thirty years. He was town repre sentative in 1855 and 1856, was town clerk twelve years, and town treasurer twenty years, and still resides in the village. James H. Congdon came to Wallingford from North Kingston, R. L, in 1804. He had several children, of which James and C. H. are still residents of the town. During the Rebellion the town of Wallingford sent 161 men to the war, being three men over and above all demands made upon her. Every soldier who was credited for the town, received a bounty varying from $25.00 to $900.00 each ; $2,213.46 of the funds to pay bounties was raised by volun tary contribution, the remainder, $9,136.54 being raised on the "grand list" of the town, making in all $11,350.00, the whole expense of the town. The First Baptist Church of Wallingford was organized at Wallingford village, February 10th, 1780, by Elisha Rich, with a membership of twenty- one, and Rev. Henry Green as pastor. The first house of worship was a union church, erected in 1800, succeeded by the independent one in 1827. The original cost of the present edifice was $870. Rev. S. Henry Archibald is at present pastor. The house of worship was enlarged and repaired in 1846 and again in 1869, and will now comfortably seat 200, and the property is valued at $6,000. There have been twenty-one pastorates and nineteen TOWN OF WELLS. "256 different pastors. The first pastorate was twenty years in length. Ten per sons have served as deacons, nine as church clerks. The church took early ground against slavery and intemperance. Deacon Randall, the first clerk, served fifty-five years, and as deacon fifty-six years. The centennial anni versary of the Church was observed on February ioth, 1880. The Congregational Church of Wallingford was organized in 1792, with the Rev. Benjamin Osborn as pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1800, succeeded by the present one in 1828. The original cost of the present church edifice was $2,500, and is now valued at $7,000.

Gaffney is the present pastor. IKeLLS, situated in the south-west part, in lat. 43" 27', and long. 3' 54' *5P east from Washington, ranks in point of size as one of the smallest # towns of the county. The township was originally laid out six miles square, containing 23,040 acres, an allowance of 1,040 acres free being made for "highways and unimprovable land by rocks, ponds, mountains and rivers." October 28, 1784, 6,118 acres were taken from the north-east corner of the town toward the formation of Middletown, and October 31, 1798, nearly 4,000 acres more were taken from the north-west part and annexed to Poultney, leaving only 13,000 acres, which now comprise the town. Wells forms the southern boundary of Poultney and Middletown, while Tinmouth lies to the east, Pawlet to the south, and the State line forms its western boundary. It was chartered by Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, Septem ber 15, 1 76 1, to Capt. Eliakim Hall and sixty-three others,— none of whom ever settled in the town, — they were mostly, residents of Connecticut. In the original plan of the town there were seventy shares, or rights of land. A tract in the south-west corner, containing 500 acres, laid out and marked on the map " B. W." the record says, was for " His excellency Benning Went worth, Esq.," and was accounted as two shares ; one share for the society for the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts; one share for the "glebe for the church of England," one share for the first settled minister of the Gos pel, one share for the. benefit of a school in said town, and the remaining sixty-four shares to Capt. Hall and his sixty-three associates. 256* TOWN OF WELLS. The western portion of Wells is moderately even and rolling ; the eastern, rough and mountainous ; there are, however, good, rich farms lying' in the valleys between the mountains. There are three quite considerable moun- ains extending across the entire eastern portion of the town from north to south ; they are, Pine Hill, Moose Horn and North-east Mountains, and all comparatively easy of ascent. St. Catherine Mountain, lying between Poult ney and Wells, and Pond Mountain, in the centre of the town, are also high elevations. The territory is well watered by numerous streams, having sources among the springs on the mountain sides, and the scenery is made varied and picturesque by a numberof ponds and lakes nestled between the mountains. Lake St. Catherine, or Lake Austin, lying partly in Poultney, and extending south to nearly the centre of Wells, is a beautiful little sheet of water, surrounded by mountains. It is nearly five miles in length, and about one in its greatest breadth, and covers an area of about 2,000 acres, lying in two parts, a lower and upper, connected by a channel about three-fourths of a mile in length and from three to eight rods in width; the lower portion, usually called Little Pond, is about three-fourths of a mile in length by one-half in breadth. The water is clear but shallow, abounds in fish and is a favorite resort for pleasure-seekers during the summer season. Lake St. Catherine, House, a popular hotel, very pleasantly located in the midst of a hemlock grove at the south end of the lake, was originally built by Merritt Lewis in i860, and rebuilt in 1867 by Charles W. Potter, who gave it its present name and was its landlord until 1878, when it was leased by Oliver Reynolds, and run by him until 1881, when,- on April ist, it was taken by the present owner and proprietor, Mr. Irving Wood. The principal stream is the outlet of the lake, which flows a south-westerly course, emptying into Pawlet River. Wells Brook rises in Tinmouth, flows west through Wells and empties into the outlet of the lake. These are the largest streams, although there are numerous other small brooks and rivulets which serve to irrigate and enrich the soil. Wells is not rich in minerals, but in the western portion of the town is an excellent quarry of building stone, and also a range on which is found both black and purple slate in great abundance. The soil is quite fertile and well adapted to grass and grain, the products of the dairy forming the principal wealth of the town. Lumber is quite an article of export, the timber being mostly beech, birch, maple, hemlock and spruce, with some balsam and black ash. Large quantities of maple-sugar are manufactured, much of which is sent to other localities not so well favored in this respect. The population of the town in 1880 was 665, and during that year, ending October 31st, had seven school districts and six common schools, employing one male and nine female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $690.60. The number of pupils attending common schools was 152, and the total expense for school purposes was $769.18. The superintendent was Mr. Abisha X. Lewis. LAKE AUSTIN KNITTING MILLS, WELLS, VT.-R. M. LEWIS, Proprietor. TOWN OF WELLS. '256 Wells, a post village, located south-west of the center, the only settle ment of any extent, contains three churches, one store, one blacksmith shop, one wagon shop and about 150 inhabitants. The store of Oliver R. Hopson and George Lewis was destroyed by fire at 8:30 a. m. of the 25th of February, 1881, the post office being at the time kept in the building. The store was rebuilt by Mr. Hopson and opened for business in about three months from the time of the fire. The Lake Austin Knitting Mills are situated about half a mile west of the village, near the outlet. The site of the present mill was purchased by John Blossom about the year 1814, and a clothing works built thereon, which " dressed " cloth and carded wool for the farmers residing in the surrounding country. The wool, after carding, was taken home and spun, woven by hand, and then brought to this mill to be dressed into cloth and flannel for their family use. In the year 18 19 Mr. Blossom sold the works to his brother Seth, who continued the business until the year 1823, when he sold the property to Henry Gray, who added machinery for making cloth, rude in structure, using hand looms only, but such as the country afforded at that time. Gray continued to manufacture cloth and do custom work until the year 1834, when he sold the property to Samuel Culver and Benjamin Lewis,' the business being then carried on under the firm-name of Culver & Lewis, until 1843, when James Lamb bought Culver's interest, and the firm was changed to Lewis & Lamb, who added power-looms and other improved machinery which they continued to operate until the year 1848, when Wm. Goodrich purchased Lamb's interest, the new firm continuing about one year, when Goodrich sold out to Lewis, he continuing the business alone until 1866, when his son, R. M. Lewis, became associated with him under the firm-name of B. Lewis & Son. In 1873 tn»e nrm changed their business and engaged in the manufacture of knit underwear, shirts and drawers, since which time the mills have been known by their present name. The mill was leased to J. S. Wilcox during the years 1876, '77 and '78, but was under the management of R. M. Lewis, the present owner. The mill has been twice destroyed by fire, the first time about the year 1830, and again in 1853. The main building is 35x100 feet, two stories high, there also being connected with it a dye-house 23x30 feet, store-house 25x25, picker house 20x25, and wood-shed 20x40 feet, all built of wood and painted red. (See illustration opposite page.) The works employ about twelve persons, male and female, who manufacture twenty dozens of shirts and drawers per day, which are mostly sold in New York, the sales aggregating about^ $20,000 per annum. Lewisville Cheese Factory, located on road 21, was built by Benjamin Lewis in 1875, and is now owned by Rodney M. Lewis, has twenty patrons and manufactures 85,000 pounds of cheese per annum. GoodspeetTs saw mill, located on Mill Brook, near road 23, was built by W. Goodspeed in 1840, and now manufactures about 500,000 feet of lumber annually. 256° TOWN OF WELLS. The Alfred Lewis Cheese Factory, located at East Wells, on road 25, was erected in 187 1. has six patrons and manufactures 22,000 pounds of cheese per annum. Wilder Lewis' saw mill was originally built over fifty years ago, by whom, it is, so far as we have learned, not known. It is situated at the outlet of Lake St. Catherine, and rebuilt in 185 1 by Mr. Lewis, who at present manu factures there about 200,000 feet of lumber per annum. Goodrich' s grist mill, located in the south-west part of the town, on the outlet of the lake, was erected by Roswell Goodrich in the year 1808. It is now owned by the estate of Haley Goodrich, has four runs of stones, and does mostly custom work. The settlement of Wells was commenced by Ogden Mallory in 1768, and Daniel and Samuel Culver came into town in 1 771, bringing their families the following year. The town was organized at a meeting held March 9', 1773, being the first town meeting; Ogden Mallory was elected moderator, and John Ward, clerk. This meeting was adjourned till November ist of the same year, when Ogden Mallory, Daniel Culver, Joseph Lawrence, Abner Howe and John Ward were chosen selectmen. The first listers were elected March 11, 1777, and were Ogden Mallory, Timothy Morse and Reuben Searles. Most of the early settlers of this town came from Massachusetts and Con necticut, and it is not difficult to trace in their descendants their Puritan origin, by their characteristics, to this day. They were a pious, industrious, honest people, possessed of an indomitable will; quick to decide and lasting in friendship, as is proven by an act of their town meeting held February 25, 1774; at which Abner Howe and Joseph Moss were appointed a committee to represent the town in a general meeting, held at Manchester, in March, 1774. The committees from the several towns being there assembled to con sider " The despotic act of the New York Assembly, for the suppression and apprehension of the Bennington mob," and voted thereto, " that as a country we will stand by and defend our friends and neighbors who are indicted, at the expense of our lives and fortunes." It is to the credit of the people of the town of Wells, that they in every sense of the word kept their promise. It is hardly possible for the present generation, who are living in comparative luxury, to conceive of the vicissitudes through which their forefathers passed, nor to realize the obstacles they had to contend with in procuring food and clothing, and preparing homes for their families. Even some of the oldest inhabitants at the present time can remember when they had to go bare footed a greater portion of the year, and wear home-made clothing at all times. The first marriage in the town was that of Ebenezer Welton to Catharine Culver, on the 18th day of May, 1775. The first birth was that of Joseph Moss, son of Joseph and Esther, born September 8th, 1775. The whipping-post was at one time in use in the town; the last victim was TOWN OF WELLS.

Joshua Howe, from Wallingford, settled in 1873 on tne farm now owned by his grandson, Joshua, and built the first grist-mill in town. He was re markable most for a temper never known to be quickened under any circum stances. When he raised his grist-mill, it is told, he stood holding a post, . which, as the tennon entered the mortise, the post came down upon his toes, smashing them flat ; but, with unruffled countenance he turned to his son, remarking in his ordinary, deliberate and mild tones, "Joseph, I wish you would get the crow-bar and raise up this post. I would like to get my toes out from under it" Mr. Howe died in the year 1 800. Mathias and Joseph Button, father and son, settled here in 1785. Mathias afterwards married the widow of Joshua Howe.

The bounties ranged from $joo each for the nine months men, up to $1,000 and $1,150 for the three years men. It is not known at exactly what date the first school-house was built, but it was very early in the history of the town, as soon as there were children enough to form a school. The first school-houses were made of logs and warmed by fireplaces, the benches generally made of slabs, turned flat-side up, into which holes were bored and legs inserted. The first Sabbath-school was organized at East Wells in 1823, with Levi Lamb superintendent. The same year a Sabbath-school was organized at the village and Levi Lewis ap pointed superintendent. In May, 1789, ten acres of land were selected by a 256s TOWN OF WESTHAVEN. committee chosen for . that purpose, and the town voted to build a church thereon, thirty-six feet in length, twenty feet in breadth, and a story and a half in height. This tract is situated on a rise of ground about midway be tween the Pond bridge and Pond Mountain, and on the north side of the road. The church was built in 1790, but was never entirely finished. This was the first house erected in the town for public worship, and used in com mon by all, and after having been abandoned as a church it was for many years used as a barn, and was finally blown down during a storm, on March 27, 1847. On the same tract of land with the meeting-house, was laid out, also, the first burial-ground, where lie buried many of the first settlers of the town. The Universalist Church, located at Wells village, was erected in 1855, on the site occupied by the old church, built in 1821. Rev.

The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Wells Corners, was organized about the year 1810, with Rev. Anthony Price as pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1802, which was succeeded by the present edifice in 1842, which was built at a cost of $1,500, and will comfortably seat 200 per sons. The present value of the church property is about $1,000. Rev. J. Phillips is at present pastor. St. Paul's Church, (Episcopal), located at Wells village, was organized by Rev. P.

Y., and west by Lake Champlain. The surface of the township is quite uneven, several- ridges of mountainous hills passing through different parts of the town, mostly in a north and south direction. The largest of these, called Ball Mountain, located in the south ern part of the town, contains about 4000 acres of land, entirely worthless for purposes of cultivation. The country is watered by several small streams,. the principal of which are Hubbardton River and Cogmen Creek. Hub bardton River flows through the eastern part of the township and empties into East Bay, about one mile below Carver's Falls. Cogmen Creek rises in Root's Pond, in Benson, passing through the township about three miles west from Hubbardton River, also emptying into East Bay. The soil varies, and taken as a whole is not much different from that of the adjoining towns, clay, perhaps, predominating. The timber is that common to all mountain districts of Vermont. TOWN OF WESTHAVEN. "256 In 1880 Westhaven had a population of 492; it was divided into seven school districts and had seven common schools, employing two male and six female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $807.50. There were ninety-four pupils attending ccmmon school, and the whole cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $1,031.13. S. R. Hitchcock was superinten dent. , Westhaven, (p. o.) a hamlet located in the central part of the township, contains a church, one store and post-office, one blacksmith shop and about eight dwellings. Hunts Cheese Factory, located on road 23, was built in 1875. It now uses the milk from 140 cows, from which is manufactured 40,000 lbs. of cheese per annum. ' J. &= H Adams &* Co's boat-yard, located on East Bay, was established about thirty years ago. They manufacture from one to six canal boats annually, employing from five to twenty-three men. J. P. Hunts saw- mill, spoke and ax helve manufactory, located on Hub bardton River, near road 12, manufactures about 75,000 feet of lumber, 500 sets of spokes and 200 dozen ax-helves annually. Westhaven was originally included within the limits of the township of Fairhaven, chartered by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont on the 27th day of October, A. D , 1779. By an Act of the Legislature ap proved October 20, 1792, the township was divided and formed into two townships, the eastern part retaining the name of Fairhaven, and the west taking the -name of Westhaven. The name, Westhaven, was adopted by the inhabitants of Fairhaven at a town meeting held March 27, 1792, and for the reason, without doubt, that it was the west part of the original town. The question of the division of the township appears to have been agitated a great deal by the early settlers, and they were not entirely har monious on the subject of the dividing line between the two towns. Twenty of the citizens of the town, residing between Muddy Brook and Hubbardton River, in the central part of the township, remonstrated against the division. The town of Westhaven took about three-fifths of the area of the original township, leaving to Fairhaven the remaining two-fifths. The two towns were jointly to elect one Representative .to the General Assembly. This they continued to do until the annual election in 1823, when separate elec tions were held. Previous to this time, the annual Freemen's meetings were held, sometimes at the school-house near Mr. Minot's, in Westhaven, and at other times at the school-house near Mr. Stannard's, in Fairhaven, the people of both towns meeting together and having at times a good deal of sectional feeling in regard to their affairs. The settlement of the present town of Westhaven was not begun to any extent until the year 1783. Previous to this, and it is believed before the chartering of the township, Benoni Hulbert had made a claim and com menced some small improvements near the intersection of Hubbardton and 25610 TOWN OF WESTHAVEN. Poultney rivers ; but it is not known that he became a resident of the town ship until the year 1781. How long he remained in the town is not known. It was but a few years at most. In 1782 Beriah Mitchell, of Woodbury, Conn., began some improvements in the township, where he continued to reside until 1786, when he returned to Connecticut. Early in the year 1783 Capt. Eleazer Dudley and family, and Abijah Peet, also from Woodbury, settled in the township and began the work of clearing a farm, a little west of where Nathaniel Fish lately resided. Wm. Dudley ' was the first town clerk of Fairhaven and was interested in several proprietory shares in the township. In 1788 he sold his interest to Dr. Simeon Smith and removed from the town. John Howes, also from Woodbury, Elijah Tryon, of Granville, Mass., John and Henry Cramer and others, came the same year. In 1784 Hiram Barlow, an early settler of Tinmouth, and Cornelius Bronson, of Woodbury, came. In 1786 Benjamin and Cooley Weller, and Benjamin Chippann, settled on the west side of Ball Mountain, on what has since been known as the "Benjamin farm." During this year, James McCottin, from Pennsylvania, came into town and erected the first grist-mill, near where Michael Blake now resides. The first saw-mill was erected in 1785, on the lower fall on Hubbardton River, since known as " The Hunt Mill." Dr. Simeon Smith, from Sharon, Conn., came to Westhaven in 1787, locating on the premises first settled by Capt. Dudley, Dr. Smith had been a druggist and trader in Connecticut, was a physician by profession and had been compelled by business misfortunes to leave Connecticut and seek his fortune in another country. He became at once the leading and most prom inent business man in the vicinity, and at his death, February 27th, 1804, he bequeathed the town $1,000, which was to be kept at compound interest at six per cent, for a term of sixty years, at the expiration of which time the accruing interest of the accumulated fund should be appropriated to the schooling of youth, to have one good grammar school kept in Westhaven, the overplus to be used for the benefit of other schools and the support of Gospel ministry, and if any over, for the support of the poor and needy in said town. The subsequent accruing interest became available after July 13th, 1868, and at that time the fund amounted to $22,996.69. Had it not been for an early loss of $100.00 of principal, and loss of interest while wait ing for investments, the sum would have reached nearer its possible earnings, $32,987.69. About 1790 the first store was started, located on the knoll north-east of where J. G. Briggs now resides, Smith & Woodward, proprietors ; the busi ness was afterwards carried on at the same place by Charles Rice and Bohan Shepard, and later by Shipherd, Rice and Higgins. Another store was kept near where Mrs. Adaline Hitchcock now resides, by Lemuel Hyde and John Bronson. The firm was dissolved prior to 1800, and the business continued TOWN OF WESTHAVEN. "256 at the same place by John Van Allen, and perhaps others, for a few years, and then discontinued. A carding machine and clothing works were estab lished by Erastus Coleman, on the upper falls of Hubbardton River, about the year 1802, and continued for about thirty years, when he erected a woolen factory on the same ground and continued in the manufacture of woolen cloth until 1844, since which time the building has been taken down and all business discontinued at that place. Oliver Church, from New Marlboro, Mass., purchased, June 30, 1780, of Samuel Allen, of Tinmouth, the right of Nathan Clark in the town of Fairhaven. He did not become an inhabitant of the town until about ten years afterwards. In 1801 he removed to the farm first settled by Hiram Barlow, and continued his residence there until his death, in 1826. In the year 1800 he married Lucy Barker, who survived him a number of years, dying in 1859, aged 76. Of their large family there are now living, Mrs. Calista Adum, in Westhaven, Mrs. Lucy Tyler, in Portland, N. Y., and Oliver Church, in Pike, N. Y. During all the period that he resided in the town, Esquire Church, as he was called, was a prominent and influential citizen. He represented the towns of Westhaven and Fairhaven in the Legislature of the State, in the years 1803, 1806, 1807, 181 o, 1811 and 1819. He held the office of justice of the peace for many years, and pos sessed the confidence of the people of the town in a remarkable degree, doing almost all the conveyancing and justice business for many years. Samuel Adams, from Suffield, Conn., came to Westhaven in 1792, with his wife, four sons and one daughter, locating on road 6, upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Samuel. Horace resided with his father upon the old homestead until his father's death, when the property reverted to him. He was a popular and influential eitizen, and a representative in the General Assembly three years. He died March 28, 1866, aged 82 years. At his death the property came into the possession of his son, Samuel, who still retains it. Samuel represented the town in 1864 and 1865, and has for a number of years held the office of justice of the peace. Oliver Hitchcock was born March 12, 1776, at Bristol, Conn. He came to Vermont early in the present century, but did not permanently settle in Westhaven until 1821. He was well known to "old stagers" of fifty years ago as the jolly landlord of the " Gleason Stand." Willard, Miriam, Oliver Franklin, Alman and Rollin, were all children of Oliver, and were all residents of Westhaven for a number of years. One only, Rollin, now resides in the township, he having one son residing near him, on the Downs farm, and another, Oliver Orville, residing with him on the old homestead. Willard, eldest son of Oliver, was born in Bristol, Conn., July 22, 1799. He married Adaline Welton in 1822, came to Vermont in 1832, and bought the place now owned by William Preston, near the Apollos Smith place. Mr. Hitch cock here, associated with a Mr. Hill, also from Connecticut, established a depot and salesroom for the " Terry Mantel Clock" They employed ped- 256" TOWN OF.

Next, Gold or Silver as a base, are without doubt better than anything else yet known, as they do not heat the mouth, and are not so liable to make the mouth sore. I will also make Teeth on Rubber, Celluloid or Corriline (which are the same thing) as cheap as any Dentist that is capable of doing first-class work.

A brief history of its career, under its successive Principals, is given ¦s--™^) on another page. It has been steadily gaining in the number of its pupils, in the character and standing W? of its graduates, and in public confidence, lt now takes a new departure. The Principal has, by the mf purchase of the property of the "Corporation of Rutland County Grammar School," relieved the school & of financial embarrassment, while the general supervision remains with the Corporation and the State Superintendent of Education. * TWO COURSES OF STUDY are adopted, as required by law. The First Course embraces two years, or four terms of twenty weeks each, and comprises the following studies : — First Year. — Arithmetic, including Forms* Decimals, Percentage and its Applications, Accounts {Book- Keepings) Powers and Roots ; Free-Hand Drawing, Orthographic; Geography, Mathematical, Descrip tive and Political; Natural Sciences, embraciftg the Elements of Mineralogy, Botany and Zoology,; Political Economy, Elements of; Grammar, including Paraphrasing* Analysis and Composition; Reading,, including Phonic Spelling, Word Analysis, Accent, Emphasis and Expression. fl^P* An examination by the State Board of Examiners, completes the work of this year.

To receive the State License, candidates must have attended at the State Normal School for at least one school year, and be seventeen years of age. In special cases the course may be completed at an earlier age, the license to teach being withheld until the graduate becomes seventeen. Those who have taken an Academical Course at other schools, teachers of considerable experience, and other persons of sufficient maturity in years and judgment, should be able to complete the First Course in one year. Such persons as are able to pass the required examinations, will be permitted to graduate in both courses of study m successive terms of the same year. It is especially desired that candidates for graduation shall have had some experience in teaching, though this is not required. Graduates from the First Course receive a State License to teach in any public school of the State for a term o{ five years. Those from the Second Course receive a License for ten years. A Preparatory Department will be maintained for the instruction of those not prepared by age and attainments to enter upon the First Course. Measures will be taken, if found practicable, to open a Model School, in which the aim will be to illustrate the best methods of Primary Instruction. The instruction in each course will be largely by topics. In each recitation the clearest methods of instruc tion and explanation will be sought. The aim. of the School is : first* to secure a knowledge of the subject; then, to instruct in the best methods of imparting tJtat knowledge to others. State Scholarships are granted, on the recommendation of Town Superintendents, to persons complying with the law governing them. This School is entitled to eighty-four. Appointments may be made from any town in the St^te. Tuition. — Six dollars per quarter of ten weeks, payable o?t or before the fifth week. 1Soarv.— Three dollars per week, including oil for lamp, fuel, and washing of ten pieces, excluding garments required to be sent to the laundry. Boarders will furnish their own toweis, napkins and bedding, save mat tresses. For three dollars and a half per week, all of the above will be furnished. Rooms for self-boarders , , can be obtained at reasonable rates. The School has ample accommodations for one hundred boarders, and over two hundred pupils. The Fall Term of twenty weeks begins on the last Tuesday in August. The Spring Term on the first Tuesday in February. fl)^* For further information and for reduced fare on the railroads, address the Principal, or Hon. JEROME B.

In the villages the name of the street is generally given and precedes that of the post-office.

Acting as the Associate Attorney in the United State's for the Patent Agency of Robertson, Brooman & Co., London, the oldest establishment of the kind in England, I am able to execute on this side of the water all papers necessary to obtain British patents, so that inventors seeking English patents may know, before their British applications are lodged, in what shape their inventions have been presented. The general custom is to turn the whole case over to the English Agents, who handle the matter as they please, without consultation with the inventor, — a practice often prejudicial to the inventor's interest. Having a complete set of English and United States Patent Reports cover ing a period from 1 6 1 7 to date, as well as a good selection of legal and scien tific patent authorities, I am able to furnish information of the highest value to the inventor and the litigant. No charge made for preliminary consultation. The customary charge of $5.00 is made for preliminary searches on inventions. Fee for obtaining United States patents ranges from $25:00 upwards, according to the complexity of the case. Where applications are made after a preliminary search, the fee for search will be applied on^the regular attorney's fee. Re-issues, extensions, copyrights, rejected cases and caveats, prosecuted on reasonable terms. Cost of English patents from $175.00 upwards. This covers English Government fees and all other expenses. ¦ c^SEND FOR CIRCULAR.^ 628 PEDDLERS — PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.

SUMMER RESORT. ous HYDEVILLE, VT. GOOD LIYERT, BOATING i FISHING. Location.— This New Summer Resort is located at the outlet of Lake Bomoseen — one of the finest sheets of water in the State. It was opened to the public May 1st, 1877, and has had five very successful Seasons.

Connected with the House are two Cottages— both well-shaded and nicely furnished Boating and Fishing.— Our boating and fishing facilities are unsurpass ed, and a fine Steam Yacht makes regular trips from here to all places of interest on the Lake. We have a nice line of Boats for the use of the guests of the House, which can be rented by the Season if desired. Billiard Room and Bowling Alley. — A Billiard Room and Bowl ing Alley were added last season for the exclusive use of the guests of the House. t * Read what the Press Say. — "Lake Bomoseen is rapidly becoming the favorite resort of the tourist and pleasure seeker. This body of , water,located principally at Castleton, lies "in a basinof rocks, and has i along its banks and surroundings some of the most picturesque scenery in Vermont. It is eight miles long and two and one-half wide at its greatest breadth. Neshobee Island of about ten acres is sit uated near the center of the" Lake, where a convenient Hotel has recently been built, which affords charming resort for parties of pleasure, and .„ adds much to the beauty of the scenery.''
