In presenting this REGISTER to the people of Farmington, Milton and Wakefield, we wish to acknowledge our indebtedness for historical data to articles written by Mrs. Adelaide Alley Waldron and Mr. Ned Parker on Farmington, to Mr. Arthur Thad Smith's address at Milton's Centennial Celebration, and to the Rev. Albert Thompson's sketch on Wakefield in the His- tory of Carroll County; also to the town records and documents kindly furnished by Messrs. White, Avery and Garvin, the clerks of these towns, to the clerks and pastors of the different churches, and to all the various sources from which our information has been obtained. Realizing the limitations of space, it has not been possible to deal with minor details, the purpose being to put the history in brief form into the great majority of the homes in these towns. We wish to thank the people here for their cordial encouragement and aid, for their courtesy and good will, in a word for the way in which they have "stood behind" the undertaking. We hope that they will find the REGISTER something which is worth while and for the most part authen- tic and satisfactory. INTRODUCTION. The group of towns included in this work, are located in the southeastern section of the State of New Hampshire ; Farm- ington and Milton in the County of Strafford, and Wakefield in the County of Carroll. The region in which they lie is for the most part hilly and broken, traversed by mountains which rise to a considerable height, and divide it into valley and small plateaus, through which flow many beautiful streams, the outlets of the ponds and lakes in which this section abounds. It is a picturesque region, only a few miles from the majes- tic Winnepesaukee, and within sight of the White Mountains, whose peaks towering far into the heavens, can be seen by the naked eye from the many elevations in these towns, which are just far enough removed from the "White Hills" to be outside the mountain country on the north. Combining the attractions of hill and lake, with stretches of low land and valley, this region has many attractions for every lover of the beautiful in Nature. Here, centuries ago, the Indian hunted and fished, and the wild beast roamed through the forest which man and animal shared alike, and which extended in unbroken, primeval vastness over upland and low- land to the waters of the sea. In 1623, the white man came, and made the earliest settle- ment in New Hampshire, at Dover, (Cocheco). The conflict between the races which so soon after ensued, continued for more 10 INTRODUCTION than a hundred years, and this section was the scene of many a terrible and bloody struggle, like that which occurred when "The Indian hordes came down At midnight on Cocheco town." The people of today little realize how great were the hard- ships and privations which their forefathers endured, how ter- rible were the years of suffering and conflict; first against the wild beasts and the Indians ; then the Indians of the North and their allies, the French; and finally against England to secure the liberty and freedom without which life is not worth while. More than one and a quarter centuries have passed since our country became a nation, and the changes that have come with the years are very great. The Indian has gone forever from New Hampshire, swept away by the superior strength and numbers of the white con- querors, and by the advance of civilization. Sometimes we unearth here and there, fragments of pottery, a bit of flint, a weapon perhaps, these are all that remain as relics of a departed race, and doubtless, they mingle in the earth with the dust of their former owners. The wild beasts, too, are gone, the forests that sheltered them have melted away. The old Winnepe- saukee trail, which the Indian followed in his journeys to and from the interior of the State, and the region to the north, is traversed by the railroad of modern days; the bridle paths of the settlers have given way to roads and drives; the wigwams and crude villages of the Indians, and the little clearings of the settlers, have been replaced by well-tilled farms, broad meadow lands, and villages ; industry and commerce rule where once war and bloodshed occupied men's thoughts and stirred them, and INTRODUCTION ll everywhere is manifest the onward march of Progress. The redman is gone, and as he passed away, so we, too, shall go, after we have played our part in the great Theatre of Life, but always the lordly mountains and the beautiful lakes will remain for our descendants, and the Piscataqua, the Salmon Falls, the Cocheco, and the other rivers of old New Hampshire will flow to meet the sea, and to tell their mother there of the men and women who were and are, and how well they per- formed their mission. INDIAN HISTORY. The native tribes of New Hampshire were all of the Abnaki nation; but probably had a separate government, and were for the most part independent of those who lived in what is now the State of Maine. The Indians were divided into several tribes, among which were the Pequaquaukes, or Pequawkets, whose ter- ritory embraced a part of Maine ; the Ossipees, the Squamscotts, the Winnecowetts, and the Piscataquas, all living in the eastern section of the State. The population of these tribes is not definitely known, in fact there is no certainty that any estimate of their numbers was ever made by any reliable authority. The population, however, was sparse. Here and there at remote distances was located a little village ; but of never more than a few hundred inhabitants. The Indians in this section probably acknowledged as their Great Sagamore, the famous Passaconaway, whose achievements and powerful reign have been told many times in song and story. He was a powerful warrior, an eloquent orator, a sachem whose sagacity, and reputation as a sorcerer were known by all the redmen in this part of the country, and a chief whose influence and power over his people were remarkable. He was friendly toward the settlers in spite of their unjust usurpation of his lands, and wished that the Indians and white men might always live in friendship, and that the wars might cease. The following extract from his farewell address to his war- riors in 1660, makes evident his view of the relations between INDIAN HISTORY 13 the natives and the white men: "The oak will soon break before the whirlwind, it shivers and shakes even now; soon its trunk will be prostrate, the ant and the worm will sport upon it! Then think, my children, of what I say! I commune with the Great Spirit. He whispers me now: 'Tell your people, Peace peace, is the only hope of your race. I have given fire and thunder to the pale-faces for weapons, I have made them plentier than the leaves of the forest ; and still shall they increase. These meadows they shall turn with the plow, these forests shall fall by the axe, the pale-faces shall live upon your hunting-grounds and make their villages upon your fishing places.' The Great Spirit says this, and it must be so! We are few and powerless before them! We must bend before the storm! The wind blows hard! The old oak trembles, its branches are gone, its sap is frozen, it bends, it falls! Peace peace, with the white man! is the command of the Great Spirit; and the wish the last wish, of Passacon- away. ' ' Wbnolanset, his son and successor, heeded his advice, and when King Philip's war broke out fifteen years later, in spite of the fact that practically all the other tribes of New England engaged in the war, his followers withdrew to a place remote from the scenes of conflict. In 1676, however, four hundred Indians who had been invited to Cocheco (Dover) to witness a training and sham fight, were seized by the whites, and although the Pennacooks were dismissed unharmed, the indignity was too great to be endured and disregarding the advice of the dead Passaconaway the Pennacooks went on the war path, and became, like the other tribes, the bitter foes of the white men. 14 INDIAN HISTORY The usual route of the Indians from the mountains and lakes to the white settlements was by the Cocheco and Newichawannoc (Salmon Falls) rivers, and doubtless the territory now compris- ing these towns was often visited by them, and the forests that covered it often rang with the war-whoop of many a hostile band. Many massacres took place and many battles were fought between the redman and the white in this part of the State. The massacre at Dover, in which Major Waldron was brutally murdered, took place June 27, 1689. The Indian war called "Love well's War" on account of the exploits of Capt. John Lovewell, began in 1722. Many success- ful expeditions against the Indians took place under his leader- ship. Lovewell's Pond in Wakefield takes its name from Capt. Lovewell, who surprised and killed ten Pequawket Indians at that place. He and his men, however, finally were attacked from ambush by a powerful force of Indians under the Chief Paugus, near the pond, and after a long and bloody fight, he and many of his followers were slain. After the close of the French and Indian War and the increase of population in the settlements, few Indians remained in New Hampshire, and the hostilities between the redmen and the white men soon ceased. History of FanminQton The town of Farmington, situated near the center of Straf- ford County, New Hampshire, is twenty-five miles from the State capital, Concord, and eighteen miles northwest of Dover, the county seat of Strafford. It was originally a part of Rochester, from which it was set off and incorporated December 1, 1798. The area of the township is about 21,000 acres, a large portion of which is covered with timber. The surface is broken, and the soil difficult to cultivate, though on the margin of the Cocheco river, there are tracts that produce excellent crops. Extensions of the Blue Hills are included within the town boundaries, traversing Farmington from north to south, the most important elevations of which are known as Nubble, Hussey, Chesley and Blue Job mountains. The last, Blue Job, attains a height of 1,400 feet above the sea level, and on a clear day a view of the White Mountains, Monadnock, and other mountains to the north and west can be seen distinctly, while the shipping in and off Portsmouth is visible to the naked eye. The principal villages are Farmington, West Farmington and Merrill's Cor- ner. The Lake Shore branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad passes through the first and most important village. The Cocheco and Mad rivers flowing through the town afford abundant water power for the manufacturing industries, to which principally Farmington owes her prosperity and growth. The population in 1900 was 2,265, but has increased to more than 3,000 probably at the present time. 16 FARMINGTON EARLY SETTLEMENT. Perhaps the earliest settler in what is now the town of Farm- ington was a Mr. Berry, who built a log house in the south part of the town as early as 1770. The first frame house erected here was built in 1781, for John Roberts, who came to this place the following year from Dover Neck, and resided here many years. Jonas C. March, a native of Portsmouth, constructed the second frame house in the neighborhood, some time prior to 1792. He was the son of Clement March, who, tradition has it, was a giant in size, and one who commanded the greatest respect from his fellow townsmen. It is said that the sight of his cane alone, was enough to awe them. Jonas March married Sally, daughter of Judge Aaron Wingate, and after her death, her sister Lydia. Mr. March was one of the earliest merchants in the town. It is very probable that it was because of the swamp behind his store, and the unloading of lumber on the platform, that the business section of Farmington received the name of "The Dock." However, it is thought also, that the name owes its origin to the abundant growth of weeds ("dock") in that vicinity. The name first occurs in the records in 1792. Capt. Richard Waldron, one of the original proprietors of Rochester, by his will dated August 26, 1777, bequeathed to his sons, John, Joseph, Richard, Samuel and James, certain tracts of land and water privileges in this township, and part, at least, of the property lay between the March place, and the lands of John Ham, another of the early proprietors. The village of Farmington is situated on the Ham place. Benjamin Jones HISTORICAL 17 erected a "half -house" next to Mr. March's place, on the spot now occupied by the Congregational Church. Eleazer Pearl built his residence on a spot facing Central street, where the Odd Fellows Hall now stands. Nearby was the house which Dr. Ben- jamin Libby occupied upon his arrival here in 1800. Lemuel Rand, too, constructed a house at the village, building it upon the site, where, at the present time the beautiful residence of Mrs. Arianna P. Davis is situated. John Wingate, Esq., built in this place in 1800, a house which is now the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Berry. "Squire" Wingate was a black- smith, and the shop where he carried on his trade, adjoined the house. Capt. Josiah Edgerly, a skilled cabinet maker from New Durham, who had married a daughter of Col. Thomas Nash, built a shop on Main street about the year 1807. The Hon. Nathaniel Eastman, a native of Gilmanton, who had married a sister of Gov. Levi Woodbury, had a beautiful mansion constructed for himself in the village in 1813. Benja- min Canney was another early builder in the village. Squire Waldron, whose wife was Mary Scott, of Machias, Maine, lived in the northern part of the town where he built a handsome residence in 1812. Samuel Jones, the Furbers, Ben- jamin Chesley, Paul Demeritt and others settled near Merrill's Corner long before Farmington became a town. The Leightons, who came here from Dover, made a settlement on the Ten Rod Road ; Moses Home, Caleb Varney and Aaron Wingate on Chest- nut Hill. William Tibbetts of England erected the first frame house on the New Durham Ridge Road. He died in 1788, and the property has come down to Mr. George A. Davis, a descendant. 18 FARMINGTON Ancient poplar trees, still standing, were brought here by Mr. Tibbetts. Just below Farmington village is a huge boulder weighing twelve tons, which marks the site of the little house where Farm- ington 's great statesman, Henry Wilson, was born in 1812. He was the son of Winthrop and Abigail Colbath, early residents of this town, and was named for another early resident, Jeremiah Jones, whose daughter, Mrs. Clara Augusta Trask, has won a very high place among American woman writers. When young Colbath had grown to manhood, he changed his name from "Jeremiah Jones Colbath" to the simpler and more easily spoken Henry Wilson. He was one of those "self-made men" so typi- cally American, and served his country as United States Senator from Massachusetts, and as Vice-President of the nation during the second administration of President Grant. The inventory taken by the selectmen in 1799 gives a com- plete, though partly illegible list of the residents in the town, and the names copied from this list complete the account of the early land holders and residents. In 1830, there were fifteen frame dwellings, five stores, one mill, and one tavern in town. INVENTORY OF APRIL, 1799.

Prior to that time it had been included in the town of Rochester, of which it formed the "North West Parish." Rochester, embracing not only its present territory but also that which now forms the townships of Farmington and Milton, had increased so much in population that it became very diffi- cult to assemble the citizens from so large an area for civic meetings and the like. This was an important reason for divid- ing the town, but the primary object in separating the North- west Parish from the parent town was, probably, the attainment of greater religious liberty, and freedom from the payment of taxes for the support of a ministry, which on account of their remoteness from Rochester proper the citizens of Farmington were unable to enjoy. In 1783, the people of Farmington petitioned to be set off by themselves. This request was not granted, however, and no HISTORICAL 21 division was made. The agitation for a separation continued, and after several additional petitions had been dismissed and the dissatisfaction had become mutual on the part of the citizens of the "First Parish" (Rochester), and the other parishes (Farmington and Milton), the consent of the town was finally voted in 1798, and Farmington was incorporated as a town. The population at that time was about one thousand inhabitants. STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. In the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight. An Act to incorporate that part of the Town of Rochester, in the County of Stratford, commonly called the Northwest Par- ish into a separate town by the name of Farmington. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in general court convened, that the lands and inhabitants con- tained within the northwesterly part of said Rochester, as described within the following lines and boundaries (to wit) : Beginning at a stake standing upon Barrington line, twenty-two rods northwesterly from the outlet of Pickeral Pond (so called) , thence running upon a straight line across lot numbered forty- nine in the second division till it strikes the range line between lots numbered thirty-six and thirty-seven in said second division, thence running upon said range line about northeasterly till it strikes the southeast corner of lot numbered fifty-one in the said second division, thence turning at right angles with said range line and running from said corner about northwest upon the westerly side of the four rod range road to the head line of the said second division, thence upon the range line which divides lots numbered four and six, three and five, and ninety-eight and 22 FARMINGTON ninety-nine, in the third division, to Middleton line, thence upon said Middleton line about southwesterly till it strikes the north- easterly corner of Barrington, thence upon the division line of said Barrington and the said Town of Rochester to the bounds first mentioned, be and they hereby are incorporated into a sep- arate town by the name of Farmington, and the said Town of Farmington is hereby invested with all the powers, privileges, and immunities to which other towns in this State are or may be entitled, agreeable to the Constitution and Laws of this State, to have continuance and succession forever. The first town meeting was held March 11, 1799, at the house of Simon Dame, in accordance with the notification made out to the free holders and inhabitants of the town, February 23, 1799. Judge Aaron Wingate served as moderator. Jonas C. Marsh was elected town clerk; Ichabod Hayes, Lieut. Ephraim Kimball, and David Roberts, selectmen. The largest number of votes cast at this meeting was 141. The total collection of taxes for the year 1799, Farmington 's first as a town, amounted to $597.45. The balance of receipts over expenditures for the year was $92.47. The selectmen received $3.00 each for their services; a Mr. Genn was paid in part for preaching, $54.00; Capt. Furber's bill for the use of his barn took $1.66 from the funds and William Knight received $3.00, the full amount paid for the use of his barn. HISTORICAL 23 TOWN OFFICERS. CLERKS. Jonas C.

ECCLESIASTICAL ACCOUNT. Religious services were held in Farmington as early as 1797, and conducted in barns by Benj. Green, then preceptor of Ber- wick Academy, afterwards a lawyer and judge. He was a very HISTORICAL 27 eloquent preacher, it is said, and people flocked from all the country round to hear him. No church was formed, however, until 1819, when James Walker from Concord preached alter- nately at Farmington and Milton. The first meetinghouse in this town stood on "Meeting- house Hill," south of the village, and near the centre of the town. It remained unfinished about fifty years, when it was removed to Rochester. In 1834, a meetinghouse was built a short distance below the village by several denominations, who united in the undertak- ing, but no regular preaching was maintained till six years later, at which time the people received aid from the New Hamp- shire Missionary Society. FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. This church was organized in 1819, with the Rev. James Walker as pastor, and a membership of eight persons. In 1844, a Congregational church was dedicated in Farmington. It had been erected on Central Street on land given in trust by the Hon. G. L. Whitehouse, to be held by the parish so long as used for religious purposes. This structure becoming too small for the membership of the church, a larger edifice was built in 1870, on Main street. It was a beautiful church, and cost, when com- pletely furnished, about $25,000. It was destroyed by the great fire of 1875, and was replaced by the present commodious brick edifice in the tower of which is the town clock. The steeple, towering fifty feet above the clock tower, contains a fine toned bell which weighs more than a ton. The church was dedicated March 8, 1876. The pastors who remained longest at the church 28 FARMINGTON were the Revs. James Walker, D. D. Tappan, D.D., Walter E. Darling, who came in 1877, and remained many years, and Roger M. Sargent. Other pastors have been, the Revs. Clement Par- ker, who succeeded Mr. Walker, the first pastor of the church; S. H. Goodwin, who came in 1893 ; I. W. Sweet, whose pastorate began about 1897, to continue throughout a period of many years; Arthur L. Golder, who was here in 1901; and Edward D. Disbrow, who remained until the fall of 1907. FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. The first Free Baptist Church was organized in 1854, with the Rev. Dexter Waterman as pastor. Meetings were held in the meetinghouse on Peavey Hill, where the Congregationalists worshipped. During the pastorate of Mr. Waterman the church membership increased to thirty-two. He resigned in 1856, and was succeeded by Rev. J. M. L. Babcock, who remained until 1858. A new church was erected in 1857, and dedicated in October of the same year. The Rev. D. P. Cilley, who was the next pastor of the church, remained until 1861, when he was appointed Chaplain of Eighth New Hampshire Vols. The Rev. Ezekiel True succeeded Mr. Cilley and remained until 1866. The Rev. S. N. Tufts, the next pastor, closed his pastorate in 1870, and the Rev. G. M. Parks, now of Presque Isle, Maine, became pastor of the church. The church was enlarged in 1871, and the next year a bell tower and steeple were constructed. The Rev. Mr. Parks remained until Nov. 1, 1874, when he closed his pastorate, leaving the church free from debt, and with the knowledge of faithful service attested by the ninety-two persons who joined the church and the seventy-four baptisms among that HISTORICAL 29 number. The Rev. David H. Adams was the next to take this pastorate, entering upon his labors Jan. 1, 1875. During his ministry here he solemnized 74 marriages, and was called to attend 216 funerals. Mr. Adams' successor, the Rev. C. A. Bickford, D.D., who afterwards became editor of the "Morning Star," came in the fall of 1878, and remained two years, at the end of which time the Rev. Mr. Adams returned to the church. He remained two and a half years. From August, 1883, to May, 1884, the society was without a pastor. At the end of this time, the Rev. Thomas Spooner came to begin a pastorate which con- tinued for four years. Extensive repairs and renovations cost- ing about $2,500 were made during the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Spooner. The Rev. Geo. L. White, enjoyed four years of endeavor and success here, after which he accepted a call to the church at New Hampton. The Rev. J. S. Harrington, an able man, came next. He remained seven years, when he was suc- ceeded by the Rev. Frank Pearson, a very worthy successor, who remained four years. Following Mr. Pearson's pastorate, the Rev. J. H. Wilkins came in May, 1903. This gentleman is the present able pastor of the church, which, with a large and active membership, enjoys a prosperity which compares excellently with that of the most prosperous of the Free Baptist denomination. ADVENT CHURCH. This society, the members of which worship in the chapel on Union street, has held regular meetings here for many years, but had no regular pastor until recent years. Among its mem- bers are one or two of the leaders in the movement that estab- 30 FARMINGTON lished the campground at Alton Bay, where many largely attended and successful meetings have been held. The Rev. B. J. Glazier was pastor for several years, and was succeeded by Elder Joy, the present pastor of the church. The society, though not enjoying so large a membership as its sister churches in Farmington, is in a very prosperous condition and exerts a very great and very worthy influence for the spiritual and moral welfare of the people of this town. There was a Quaker meeting house in the early days of the town, but services are not held here now as the number of Friends in Farmington is small. INDUSTRIAL HISTORY. Farmington was a pioneer town of New Hampshire in the manufacture of boots and shoes, and this has been the principal industry of the town for many years. Though not so fortunate as many other towns of this section of the State in the possession of great water power, the manufacturing industries of the town, through the indormitable purpose and perseverance of the early manufacturers, have been and still are among the most important in this State. In the early part of the last century, Hon. Geo. L. White- house dug a canal nearly a mile long, and in 1839 erected a fac- tory in which he combined the manufacture of cotton yarn, with HISTORICAL 31 that of shingles and clapboards, and operated a grist mill. The mill afterwards came into the possession of J. W. Waldron, and was, a few years ago, transformed by the owner, J. F. Cloutman, into an electric light station. Even prior to the construction of the Whitehouse canal, and as early as 1830, there was a mill in the village, and Elijah H. Badger was engaged in the manufacture of shoes. Farmington had attained some little prominence as a shoe town even before the Civil War, the "brogans," being made by many of the towns- people by hand. With the close of the war and the introduction of machinery, conditions changed, but the citizens of the town met the new aspect of affairs, erected factories, filled them with machinery, and continued to make shoes, and a large quantity of them, with the result that a hustling manufacturing centre was formed. Seventeen factories were in operation at one time, and the production has been well kept up. Elijah Badger's venture as a shoe man was one of fair suc- cess, and Martin L. Hayes, a native of Farmington, determined to undertake the business, and was very successful in the enter- prise. G. M. Herring of Framingham, Mass., began to manu- facture shoes here at about the same time (1837). Other early manufacturers were : The Roberts Brothers, Alonzo, Jeremy and C. W. Nute, Jas. B. Edgerly, Luther Wentworth, H. B. Edgerly, Israel Hayes, Wm. Johnson, N. T. Kimball and John L. Pratt, John H. Hurd, C. W. Thurston, Geo. A. and Edwin F. Jones, E. O. Curtis, E. C. Kinnear, John M. Berry, John F. Cloutman, A. E. Putnam and D. W. Kimball. In 1874, the wooden factory of Alonzo Nute, opened in 1849 by Nute Bros., was destroyed by fire; but with the energy and 32 FARMINGTON determination for which he was noted, Mr. Nute began the con- struction of a new factory, with the result that a large brick building, 32x185 feet, four stories high, was erected in a very short time, on the site of the factory which had been burned. After 1875, Eugene P. and A. Irving Nute became their father's partners. Many of the shoe firms which had enjoyed the greatest pros- perity prior to the panic of 1893, not long afterward, for one reason or another, suspended operations, among them those of G. A. Jones, I. Hayes & Sons, A. Nute & Sons, Cloutman & Bingham, and Wallace, Elliott & Co. Following the closing of these factories, Drew's underwear mill was burned, leaving only two large manufacturing concerns in Farmington, the pro- prietors of the Edgerly factory, and J. F. Cloutman & Co. The people of Farmington did not lose courage, however, and soon started several industries to replace those which had been lost. Through the co-operation of the Farmnigton Improve- ment Association and the local Board of Trade a corporation which had purchased the Nute factory, the Farmington Shoe Co. was organized and with its two factories has become one of the largest and most important, as well as one of the most suc- cessful industries in town.. The factories in which the company are located were pur- chased of the Wallace, Elliott & Co. shoe firm of New York. They were erected by the late Hon. John F. Cloutman, who sold them to Wallace, Elliott & Co. The first and larger one was built in 1877; and the second in 1884. Each factory is four stories high. They are connected by a large inclosed passage and really form a big double factory. The firm does a very large HISTORICAL 33 business, and employs about 250 persons at present, with a weekly pay roll of nearly $2,500. The average weekly produc- tion of shoes is about 600 dozen pairs, valued at about $25 a dozen. The firm's Boston office is at 165 Lincoln Street. The officers are : President, Elisha James, Jr. ; Treasurer, E. W. Cox ; General Manager, E. O. Teague; Superintendent, W. S. Fraser. The large H. B. Edgerly factory has been in successful operation for many years, and is now the property of F. E. Edgerly, only son of the original proprietor, and his partner, C. E. Aldrich of Boston. The Berry factory and the Nute factory on Main Street, which are occupied by J. F. Cloutman, Jr., and by the Thayer, Osborne Shoe Co., are in constant operation. On the site of the old Hayes mill just below the village, is the two-story factory where John R. Hayes manufactures shook and lumber. A number of men are employed at the mill, and the business has become extensive. In close proximity to this mill is the knife factory of F. W. Coburn, Jr. Here a pros- perous business in the manufacture of knives is carried on, and the products of the factory have a wide reputation for their quality. Charles W. Jenness, who began the manufacture of shook about 1880, conducts a large and successful carton business, and manufactures shook at his mill on East Grove Street, which originally one of small size, is now among the largest of the kind in this section of the State. John H. Jenness is connected with his brother in manufacturing interests. On the same street is the last factory of the late A. W. Flanders, where that gentleman once conducted an excellent 34 FARMINGTON business. The M. L. Hayes building on Central Street, occupied suc- cessively by J. R. Hayes, and the heel business of J. E. Hayes & Son, is n<5w the brush factory of F. W. Brown. In the Jones factory on Main Street the Nutter Co. carries on an extensive business in the manufacture of heels. The carriage and sleigh factory and repository of B. F. Perkins is on the corner of High and Central Streets, on the site of the late Alvin Tibbetts' lath and woodwork mill. The Mortimer Shoe Co. began the manufacture of shoes in the Nute factory, about four years ago, but remained in this town only a short time. It is worth while in passing, to mention the fact that the first wax-thread sewing machine used in New Hampshire was brought to Farmington by the late Hon. J. F. Cloutman, who began the manufacture of shoes in 1854. With this account of Farmington 's industries, the subject may be closed. This town may well be proud of her growth and prosperity as a manufacturing village, and of the splendid way in which her citizens have met and triumphed over reverses and vicissitudes in the upbuilding of an industrial centre. MILITARY ACCOUNT. REVOLUTION. General Richard Furber, by whom the town of Farmington was named, acted as adjutant or aide-de-camp at the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga in 1777, later rose to the rank of gen- HISTOKICAL 35 eral. He lived at Merrill's Corner where he died in 1848, at the age of ninety-five years. Several other Farmington men served during the war, but as this town was a part of Rochester at that time it is very difficult to ascertain who they were. Enoch Burnham was a sergeant in Capt. John Brewster's com- pany of Col. Pierre Long's regiment stationed at Newcastle from Aug. 7, 1776, to Jan. 7, 1777. Members of this company, in which Isaac Libby and several other Farmington soldiers were enlisted, joined the Northern Army in January, 1777, and were stationed at Fort Independence near Ticonderoga. Daniel Horn, Ebenezer Home, Lieut. John Ham, Jonathan Frengh. Joseph Plummer, Samuel Jones and Benj. Furber (?) are names found on the records which indicate that Farmington sent many men into the service during the seven long years of the war. In the wars that followed the War for Independence, Farmington had many representatives who upheld the military record of the town, but it is in the War of the Rebellion that she, like her sister town, Milton, has won the greatest glory, and secured the most renown. FARMINGTON IN THE REBELLION. When in April, 1861, Fort Sump'ter fell, and the great struggle of the War of the Rebellion began, the patriotism and loyalty of the citizens of Farmington responded nobly to the President's call to arms for the preservation of the Union. The records show that 232 men responded and are credited to this town, most of whom belonged here. In this list will be 36 FARMINGTON found the names of many who are numbered with the dead, for very many of them lost their lives in the service of their country. It is not necessary here to recount in detail the services which these men rendered in the four long years of suffering and con- flict. It is all familiar to the people of this town, sons and daughters, of the noble men who left their homes and loved ones to do their share for the cause of Liberty and Right, and the people of this town knowing that record, glory in the fact that Farmington's response was ready and loyal, and that their fathers were not afraid to go forth to battle and if necessary to die. Let us but remember as we read the roll, that we owe all that we possess to them, and, let us linger a moment over the roll of the brave and true soldiers whose names are recorded here. THE ROLL CALL. Col. Ralph Carlton, killed July 17, 1862 ; Capt. A. W. Hayes ; Capt. G. H. Richardson; Capt. G. B. Johnson; Capt. G. H. Smith; Rev. Daniel P. Cilley, chaplain from 1861 to 1865; Quartermaster-Gen. Alonzo Nute, Sixth N. H. Vols., served also on Gen. Hawkins' staff of the Ninth N. Y. Zouaves. PROFESSIONAL MEN. PHYSICIANS. The first resident physician in Farmington was Dr. Benja- min Libby, who located here in 1800, setting up an office in the store which afterwards was made into a dwelling house for HISTORICAL 37 Lemuel Rand. Dr. Libby entered the army in 1812. He left Farmington in 1816. Dr. David T. Parker was another of Farmington 's early physicians. His practice continued in this town more than fifty years. Dr. Parker's wife, too, was very skillful, and was called by the whole community "Mother Parker." Dr. Parker, the senior doctor's son, was a physician here also. Other physicians have been: A. M. Winn, 0. B. Hanson, W. A. Hersom, Rufus B. Foss, W. H. Nute of Exeter, Warren P. Blake, who removed to Springfield, Mass., John P. Elkins, who died Sept. 7, 1895, his brother, J. S. Elkins, Preston B. and John Young, John S. Parker of Lebanon, Me., brother of David T. and his elder son, John C. Parker, now of Providence, R. I., who was succeeded by Dr. Frank W. Blair of Boothbay Harbor, Me., and Dr. H. P. Wheatley, who has been here many years. Dr. G. H. Gray of Lynn, Mass., Dr. E. P. Huntress of Derry, Drs. Alvin and Roger S. York, Dr. Daniel P. Cilley now at Westboro, Mass., were formerly of this town. The father of the brothers Elkins was also a physician. It is indeed remarkable that a town should have so many instances of brothers following the same profession and of sons taking up that of their fathers. Dr. Geo. W. Ellison, who came here from Providence, R. I., about a year ago; Dr. C. C. Rogers, who came here from Union several years ago; Dr. E. C. Perkins, who came from Maine about four or five years ago; Dr. R. H. Greeley, a native of Swanville, Me., and a Bowdoin graduate, who has been in prac- tice about nine or ten years in this town, and Dr. C. 0. Smith, who came in the fall of 1907, complete the list of able physicians who have practised here. 38 FARMINGTON LAWYERS AND STATESMEN. In the list of statesmen which Farmington has given to the State and Nation, the names of four men, perhaps, stand forth most prominently : Nehemiah Eastman, Joseph Hammons, Alonzo Nute, and Henry Wilson. Hon. Nehemiah Eastman was a dis- tinguished lawyer of Strafford County, State Senator from 1820 to 1824, and representative in Congress during the years 1825-27. Dr. Joseph Hammons, who was the only physician in this town for many years, was in Congress 1829-33. Hon. Alonzo Nute, a manufacturer, was an officer in the Civil War, in which he rendered distinguished service, State Senator in 1867-68, and later, was a Representative in Congress from this State. Hon. Henry Wilson, born a poor farmer lad in 1812, through his individual enterprise and great natural ability, rose to the office of United States Senator from Massachusetts, and later to the second highest office in the gift of the Nation, Vice- President of the United States, during the second administra- tion of President Grant. Farmington has had and still has many lawyers of ability no less great. On the records we find the names of George N. Eastman, Col. Louis Bell, E. F. Cloutman, Weeks of Ossipee, E. H. Shannon of Laconia, G. E. Cochrane of Rochester, Frank Emerson, Charles Leighton of Lynn, Mass., A. H. Wiggin, I. E. Pearl, H. C. Waldron, now superintendent of schools in West- boro, Mass., and S. S. Parker. E. B. Hayes of Farmington practised law in Manchester several years ago. HISTORICAL 39 FAEMINGTON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATE. Nehemiah Eastman, 1820-24 ; Jeremiah Dame, 1848-49 ; Geo. M. Herring, 1855-56 ; Alonzo Nute, 1867-68 j John F. Cloutman, 1876-77; Chas. W. Talpey, 1881-82; E. T. Wilson, 1889-90; Jas. F. Safford, 1899-1900. SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS. WILSON GUARDS. The former local military organization, Company F, Second Regt., N. H. N. G., first went into camp at Concord under the command of Capt. Joseph B. Cilley, who at his death in 1866, was succeeded by Lieut. E. W. Emerson. Capt. Chas. H. Pitman, the next commander, after a long period of leadership, was succeeded by Capt. Herman J. Pike in 1895, who remained in that office until the company disbanded. CARLTON POST, G. A. R., was organized May 24, 1882, replac- ing one which had been formed shortly after the war. The membership has never been large, as so many veterans of the great struggle of the Rebellion have passed to the Great Beyond, but the ' ' old soldiers ' ' have always taken a great interest in this little branch of the Grand Army, and the Post has enjoyed a very flourishing period of activity. The fraternal and social organizations of Farmington are many, and we regret that limited space prevents a complete his- tory of each, and a list of all the officers. An alphabetical list is as follows: 40 FARMINGTON Checorua Tribe, No. 6, I. 0. of R. M. Cocheco Lodge, A. 0. U. W. Columbian Chapter, No. 18, R. A. M., constituted May 17, 1870. Membership about 100.

In 1799 there were thirteen school districts; in 1815, six- teen. The taxes for the support of the schools in 1900, were: Regular school tax, $2,720 ; special tax for school district No. 9, $1,500; for the "town school district," $150. In 1902-03, the taxes were : $3,264, school ; $1,900 for No. 9 ; $200 for the town district. In 1904 : $3,162, school ; $1,000, No. 9 ; $150 town dis- trict. 1905 : $3,952.50, school; $1,500, No. 9 ; $150, town district. The principal of the Farmington High School is Mr. W. B. Howard ; the assistant teachers, Misses McLean and Saunders. 42 FARMINGTON ITEMS OF INTEREST. FARMINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY. The first library association in this town was organized in 1853. On January 1, 1891, a pub- lic library and reading room was opened by an association here, and has its present location in the Opera House. The first pres- ident of the association was Isaac E. Pearl, Esq. The library contains several thousand volumes, which are free to the people of the town, and in constant circulation. It is open every secular evening in the week from 7 to 9 ; Saturday from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9.30 P.M., and is under the careful and efficient supervision of the librarian, Miss Emily Goodwin. FARMINGTON NEWS. This bright local newspaper was first issued, March 14, 1879, by the firm of J. E. Fernald & Son. It has a large circulation in this town and throughout this section of the State. It is printed in the Fernald Block at the corner of Central and Main Streets, and is issued every week. E. H. Thomas is the publisher. OPERA HOUSE. This theatre was opened in 1881, $20,000 having been appropriated for its construction, and has been the scene of many a successful engagement, since the opening night, when Sol Smith Russell in "Edge wood Folks," was the attrac- tion. Lectures and speeches have been given here by distin- guished men and women, and many important civic and social meetings have been held here. HISTORICAL 43 FARMINGTON BANKS. A State bank was in operation in Farmington before and during the Civil War, the Hon. John D. Lyman acting as treas- urer. FARMINGTON SAVINGS BANK was incorporated in 1868, with G. M. Herring as president and T. F. Cook as treasurer. The present officers are : Frank E. Edgerly, President, and Dwight E. Edgerly, Cashier and Treasurer. The banking quarters are located on Central Street. FARMINGTON NATIONAL BANK, on Central Street, was incor- porated in July, 1872. The officers are: John H. Barker, Pres- ident; James B. Edgerly, Cashier. Census- 19O 7 The population of the towns of Farmington, Milton, Wakefleld, Middleton and Brookfield has been arranged in families where that arrangement has been possible In ad- dition to the resident living members, the names of the non- resident members are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of all former resi- dents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After the name of each non-resident will be found the present address, when such address has been given to us. Non-residents are indicated by the (*). When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). Following the names of the population is the occupations. To designate these we have used the more common abbre- viations and contractions, as follows: Farmer far; car- pentercar; railroad service R R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution of learning stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached the age of five years) pi; housework ho; laborer lab; physician and surgeon phy & sur; clergyman clerg; mer- chant mer; teacher tr; blacksmith blk; clerk cl; book- keeper bk kpr; lawyer law; mechanic mech; machinist- mach; engineer-eng; maker mkr; worker wkr;-work wk; shoe shop operative s sop; cotton or woolen mill operatives mill op; weaver weav; spinner spin; electrician elec; painter ptr; carriage work car wk; dress maker dr mkr; insurance ins; traveling salesman, or commercial traveler sales, or coml trav; music teacher mus tr; teamster team; general work genlwk; mariner mar; employ emp; retired retd; telephone operative tel op; telegraph operative teleg op. This Census was compiled by a thorough canvass from house to house during the fall and winter of 1907-8, by Rev. B. V . Davis, of Kents Hill, Me., and A. J. Bryant of Auburn, Maine.

County, is an irregular township of 27,000 acres, forty miles from the State capital, Concord, and twenty miles north-west from Dover, the county seat. It is the youngest town, except Rollinsford in the county of Strafford, having been originally a portion of the town of Rochester, from which it was set off and incorporated June 11, 1802. The surface is comparatively level, except that section of the town traversed by Teneriffe Mountain, and the soil is good for pasturage. Milton is an agricultural, as well as a manu- facturing community, and a large percentage of the inhabitants are engaged in farming, while stock, too, is raised to some extent. Milton Three Ponds are the principal bodies of water, forming with the Salmon Falls river a chain of lakes. The river itself runs along the whole eastern boundary, uniting near the centre of the town line with one of its branches which crosses from the south part of the town of Wakefield. The principal villages are Milton and Milton Mills ; both are on the boundary line of New Hampshire and Maine, and are important industrial centres. Milton is on the North Con- way branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad; Milton Mills is connected by a stage line with the railroad at Union Village in Wakefield. The population in 1900 was 1625. HISTORICAL 91 EARLY SETTLEMENT. The original settlers in Milton came principally from Dover, Madbury, Rochester and towns in that vicinity, and were a sturdy, industrious, and intelligent people, who even in the earliest days of the town manifested an interest in the education and religious welfare of themselves and their children. Jonathan Twombly, who took up a residence in the south part of the town about the year 1760, and Richard Walker, who came, probably, about the same time, share the honor of being the earliest white settlers in Milton. About ten or a dozen years later, in 1771 or 1772, John Twombly established himself in the so-called Varney neigh- borhood. His nearest neighbor, a man named Jenkins, lived upon Goodwin Hill at the time. Benjamin Scates was, perhaps, the next to make a home in town, settling on Plumer's Ridge about 1772 or 1773. Beard and Joseph Plumer, sons of John Plumer of Rochester, also settled at the Ridge, and may have been residents here even prior to the arrival of Mr. Seates. James C. Hayes, David Wallingford, Wm. Palmer, Elijah Home, and Moses Chamberlain were also among the pioneers. Paul Jewett, Amos Witham, Reuben Jones and others were the first settlers of the section near the West Branch river. They came probably about 1785 or 1786. At Milton Three Ponds, Samuel Palmer, Levi Bergen, John Fish, Paul Jewett, Pelatiah Hanscom, and Robert McGeoch were among the earliest settlers. Levi Jones, a native of Lebanon, Me., married Betsey Plumer of this town and settled here about the time of Milton's 92 MILTON incorporation. Wm. Jones of Berwick, Me., married Charlotte Gushing of Dover in 1798, and settled here probably at about that time. John Remick, Jr., son of Wm. and Lydia Eemick, was born at Kittery (Eliot) in 1771, married Mary, daughter of Capt. Edward and Eliza Butler of Portsmouth and settled here prob- ably in the early part of the year 1795. Thos. Eemick of Kit- tery was here a number of years later. John Witham of Kittery (Eliot), too, was an early settler. Josiah Witham, Jones' junior by three years, married Mehitable Jones of Berwick and came here not long after 1790. Isaac Brackett of Berwick married Priscilla Jones, and came here prior to May, 1789. Tristram Goodwin, son of James and Sarah Goodwin, was born in Lebanon, June 14, 1781; married Susanna Mitchell, daughter of John and Abigail Mitchell of Durham, and came here to reside in the early days of the settlement. Robert Mathes, a native of Lee, N. H., was a settler here in 1797. The Mathes family came to this place, probably from Durham, settling at West Milton. Pelatiah Hanscom, Jr., son of Pelatiah and Susanna Han- scom, was born at Kittery (Eliot), Dec. 28, 1777, married Betsey Tibbetts at Berwick in 1803, and settled here prior to the win- ter of 1804. Ephraim Plumer, of Rochester, married Nancy McDuffee of the same town, and came here with the early set- tlers. The Roberts and Drew families, too, were among the pioneers.

State of New Hampshire, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and two. An Act to incorporate that part of the Town of Rochester in the County of Strafford commonly called the Northeast Parish, into a separate town by the name of Milton. Whereas, a petition has been presented to the General Court by the inhabitants of that part of the Town of Rochester in the County of Strafford commonly called the Northeast Parish setting forth that some time prior to the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four the Town of Rochester at a legal meeting warned for that purpose, voted unanimously that said town should be divided into three towns, and a committee was chosen to run out and describe the lines of the same, that said committee accordingly made division of said Town of Rochester into three parts, that afterwards in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four the said Town of Rochester appointed another committee who were not inhabit- ants of said Rochester to examine the lines aforesaid and make such alterations therein as they shall judge proper, that said committee on the twenty-eighth day of August in the same year made their report to said Town of Rochester that the former lines and boundaries of the proposed towns be established which report was at a legal meeting of said town unanimously accepted that the said Town of Rochester in its present form was so large and the inhabitants so numerous as rendered it very inconvenient for them to transact business at their town meet- ings. HISTOKICAL 95 Wherefore, they pray that that part of the Town of Rochester commonly called the Northeast Parish within the bounds hereafter described, be incorporated into a separate town, the principal facts set forth in said petition being sub- stantiated and the prayer thereof appearing reasonable. Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives in General Court convened, that the lands and inhabitants contained within the northeasterly parish of said Rochester as described within the following bounds, viz. : Begin- ning at the south-easterly corner of the Town of Farmington and running north forty-six degrees east to Salmon Falls river and contain all the land between Farmington line and the eastern line or boundary of said State which is Salmon Falls river, be and they hereby are incorporated into a separate town by the name of Milton. And the said Town of Milton is hereby vested with all the powers, privileges and immunities to which other towns in this State are or may be entitled to agreeably to the Constitution and the laws of this State to have continuance and succession forever.

During the early years of Milton's history, when the town was the Northeast Parish of Rochester, the religious instruction of the people here was inadequate in proportion to the taxes which they paid, and as early as 1774, a vote was passed to the effect that preaching be furnished them. The amount appropriated for the purpose, however, was not large enough to give entire satisfaction, and to accomplish that end, and in 1780 the voters in the Northeast Parish objected to paying the tax for the erection of a new meetinghouse at Norway Plains, although the old one at Haven's Hill was unfit for use, and many absolutely refused to pay the tax for the minister's support. As it was too great a distance for the people living in the remote sections of the parish to go to the Haven Hill meeting- house for divine worship, the injustice of taxation without any benefit received soon became apparent to all with the result that the Northeast Parish was set off from Rochester and incorporated as a separate town, the religious instruction of the people here thus falling to their own personal supervision and care. Before 100 MILTON Milton had become a separate town from Rochester, the Rev. Joseph Haven of Rochester Hill had ministered to their spiritual needs, continuing to do so from 1776 to 1798. The first religious services known to have been held here were at the house of Lieut. Elijah Home on Plummer's Ridge. The first minister employed by the town after its incorpora- tion was Rev. Reuben Nayson, from Wakefield, who preached during the year 1801, receiving a salary of $82 for his services. The first meetinghouse in Milton was erected on the Ridge in accordance with a vote passed at the annual meeting in 1802. John Fish, Beard Plumer and Gilman Jewett, were the execu- tive committee. The lot on which the building was erected was purchased of Thomas and Aaron Downes for $26. The meeting- house was completed at a cost of about $2,400, by Caleb Win- gate, Capt. Daniel Hayes, and Gilman Jewett. The net cost of the church, however, was not so large, as the pews were sold for nearly $2,000. The first service was held in 1804, and from that time until after 1830, the meetinghouse was constantly in use. The first preachers to occupy the pulpit were Rev. Gideon Burt and Rev. Christopher Page, both of whom were here in 1804. After 1838, no regular services were held at the house on the Ridge, but the Rev. M. Willey preached there once a month during the year (except during the winter when the church was closed) until 1845, shortly after which the building went out of use. It was sold to the town in 1855, and was, not long after- ward, converted into a town house, which purpose the venerable building has served down to the present time. HISTORICAL 101 FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. The ''First Church of Christ" of Milton was organized at the old meetinghouse on Plummer's Ridge, Sept. 8, 1815, with the following members: Barnabus Palmer, Hatuel Nute, Benja- min Scates, Abigail Scates, Deborah Wentworth, Mary Cham- berlain, Aehsah Plumer and Mrs. - Nutter. The record of the institution of the church is signed by Curtis Coe, mis- sionary. The village at the ' ' Three Ponds ' ' having increased in popu- lation, the people there desired a nearer place of worship. A "Union" meetinghouse was erected in the village, and dedicated Nov. 19, 1835. Here the Congregationalists and members of other denominations held services. During the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Willey, in 1841 a parish house, which, with subsequent renovations, is the pres- ent parsonage, was erected on a lot purchased of Isaac Worster. In 1860, the remainder of the Worster lot was purchased, and soon after the present meetinghouse was built. It was ded- icated Jan. 9, 1862. In 1886 repairs, the expense of which was $1,000, were made on the meetinghouse and parsonage. In 1895, the interior was remodelled, and renovations made, the whole expense amounting to $1,200. Mr. Lewis Worster Nute, whose mother was born where the present church now stands, bequeathed $10,000 to the church, making the present funds about $11,000. The following is the list of pastors, both acting and resident : Revs. Curtis Coe, 1815; Dyer Burge; James Walker, 1819- 1826 (Sept.) ; Benj. G. Willey, 1832 (Dec.)-1846; E. F. Abbott, 102 MILTON 1846 (Aug.)-1848 (May); James Doldt, 1848 (May)-1870 (Jan.); Frank Haley, 1870 (Feb.) -1874 (April); John N. Lowell, 1875 (Aug.) ; S. W. Clarke, 1876 (April) -1877 (April) ; John N. Lowell, 1877 (Nov.) -1881 (June) ; Geo. Sterling, 1881 (Nov.) -1884 (April); Frank Haley, 1885 (June) -1891 (June); Robert T. Osgood, 1891 (June) -1893 (Jan.) ; Myron P. Dickey, 1893 (April), present pastor of the church. Between 1826 and 1832, the church was supplied by Revs. Clement Parker, E. S. Anderson, and by missionaries. The total number of people admitted to membership in the church has been about 350. The present membership is about 130. FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. . For a number of years previous to 1860, meetings were held by the townspeople of the Free Baptist profession. The deed of the land for the first meetinghouse was given May 21, 1859, and the church was built that year. The Free Baptist Church of Milton was organized May 17, 1860, and the Rev. D. P. Cilley, chairman of the council, gave the right hand of fellowship. The following persons on examination had been found "in fellowship and eligible to church membership": Rev. E. Tuttle, Bro. Luther Hayes, Fred H. Tuttle, Frances Jones, Samuel Jones, E. G. Downs, Martha A. Varney, Benj. Scates, Mary H. Tuttle, Mary Jones, N. B. Varney, Elinor Hubbard. Luther Hayes was chosen Clerk of the church; Samuel Jones, Deacon; and Rev. E. Tuttle, Pastor, all by a unanimous HISTORICAL 103 vote. Rev. E. Tuttle and Benj. Scates were appointed delegates to the New Durham Q. M., to ask for admission to that body. Rev. Ezra Tuttle, first pastor of the church, was given a dismissal April 30, 1863, and was succeeded by Rev. S. P. Fernald, who remained several months. Rev. J. M. Bedell was received June 30, 1864, dismissed May 4, 1865; Rev. N. C. Lothrop, Jan. 5, 1866-Dec. 2, 1867; Rev. I. C. Guptill, May 2, 1868-April 3, 1869 ; Rev. Ezra Tuttle, who came from Wisconsin for a second pastorate, April 30, 1870- Jan. 6, 1872; Rev. Jos. F. Joy, Aug. 31, 1872-June 6, 1874; Rev. E. Owen, April, 1876- Dec. 30, 1877; Rev. E. G. York, Sept. 28, 1878-April 5, 1879; Rev. C. L. Plummer, Aug. 12, 1879-July 2, 1881; Rev. Win. Waldron remained about two and a half years, closing his period of service about June 21, 1885 ; Rev. C. E. Mason of the Cobb Divinity School, came July 18, 1885, and was, after a suc- cessful pastorate, succeeded by Rev. E. R. Chadwick, also of the Cobb Divinity School, who remained less than two years because of ill health. Rev. G. F. Durgin supplied the church until Rev. John Manter came to begin a pastorate which con- tinued more than seven years. During Mr. Manter 's residence here, the meetinghouse was destroyed by fire, and rebuilt on the same site shortly afterward. Mr. Manter closed his pas- torate here to accept one at Springvale, Maine. His successor, Rev. F. E. Carver, remained three and a half years, at the end of which time he went to Fort Fairfield, Maine. Rev. C. B. Osborne came in January, 1900, for a pastorate which he closed October 27, 1907, when he went to Franconia. Since that time the church has been supplied by visiting clergymen. 104 MILTON CATHOLIC CHURCH, MILTON. The Catholics of Milton began to hold services at the vil- lage about a dozen or fifteen years ago. Clergymen from the churches at Rochester and Gonic have supplied the church, which is a mission station and has not yet had any resident pastor. Among the clergymen who have ministered to the church here have been the Rev. Fr. Lemie, Rev. Fr. Laplante, now of Berlin, Rev. Fr. Laroque, Rev. Fr. Lesard, Rev. Fr. Melancon, and Rev. Fr. Godin, who comes from Gonic every fortnight, or as often as he is able, to say mass and to administer to the spiritual wants of the people. The first Catholic Church here was built about ten years ago. It was burned about two years ago, and was replaced by the neat little chapel on Charles Street. About thirty-five fam- ilies attend the church. Mass is said at eight o 'clock A.M. every fortnight, when very stormy weather does not prevent Father Godin 's coming up from Gonic. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF MILTON MILLS. Previous to 1871, the Calvin Baptists and Congregationalists of Milton Mills united in maintaining public worship in the old "Union" meetinghouse erected in 1834. Theological students supplied the pulpit here until the Con- gregational Church was organized Sept. 26, 1871. The church, at its formation, had a membership of about twenty people. Ebenezer Osgood and Benjamin G. Adams were the first deacons ; William McGibbon, the first clerk. The first settled pastor was Rev. Darius B. Scott, who came to the church in 1872. After a pastorate of several years' dura- HISTORICAL 105 tion, he was succeeded by Rev. Geo. Michael, who remained two or three years. Rev. Chas. F. Goldsmith came next, and remained until May 22, 1881. Rev. G. S. Butler came Aug. 1, 1882, and preached here during a period of four of five years, part of which time he supplied the church at Union. Rev. H. S. Ives came in the fall or winter of 1887 and remained two or three years. Rev. E. J. Akin supplied here for several months during a time when the society had no settled pastor. Rev. I. B. Short was the last resident preacher at the church, coming here in 1891, and remaining until about 1894. Since that time the church has depended upon theological students or visiting ministers for preaching and public worship. FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. The First Free Baptist Church was reorganized by Rev. Gershom Lord, in 1802, and consisted of eight members. Sam- uel Runnells and Bart. Miller were first deacons, and Elder Lord was clerk. Rev. Gershom Lord was the first preacher, and was succeeded by Humphrey Goodwin, who was ordained in 1807, and continued to preach until his removal to Hollis, in 1814. Elder David Blaisdell supplied from 1815 to 1830. A house of worship was built in 1818, in the west part of the town, near Milton Mills, and replaced by a new one on the same ground, in 1840. Theodore Stevens became pastor in 1834, left in 1836, returned in 1839, and was succeeded, in 1843, by Elder J. Fuller- ton; by Horace Stanton, in 1847; and subsequently by Z. Jor- dan, Wm. Hurlin, Seth Perkins, Aaron Ayer, Dexter Waterman, James Potter ; Rev. Mr. McLain, in 1872 ; Hosea Quimby, 1875 ; 106 MILTON and at Mr. Quimby's death, in October, 1878, by Rev. B. F Sherwood, who remained until about 1880, when Rev. H. P. Mansur came. He remained until about 1885. The following have been pastors since that time : Revs. G. A. Anderson, 1887 ; C. E. Hurd, 1888-93; E. W. Fernald, 1894-7; R. W. Churchill, 1898. METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, MILTON MILLS. Methodist meetings were held at Milton Mills as early as 1870, in Fox's Hall. The church was organized about 1871, and a meetinghouse erected the following year. The present parsonage was purchased during the pastorate of the Rev. A. M. Markey, 18.99-1902. The following clergymen have been pastors of the church: Revs. I. J. Tibbetts, 1870-73; James Crowley, 1873-75; N. H. McDaniels, 1875-76; A. B. Carter, 1876-79; J. M. Bean, 1879-81; N. C. Bartlett, 1881-82; J. P. Frye, 1882-83; J. J. Davis, 1883-84; H. E. Allen, 1884-87; G. J. Lowe, 1887-88; I. J. Tibbetts, 1888-89; M. H. Evans, 1889; G. F. Durgin, 1889-90; B. F. Estes, 1890-92; G. S. CoUer, 1892-95; Wm. Thompson, 1895-97; E. J. Dean, 1897-99; A. M. Markey, 1899- 1902; S. E. Quimby, 1902-04; Willis Holmes, 1904. The present membership is forty-six. The recording secretary is Mr. Fred L. Mudgett. NUTE CHAPEL, NUTE RIDGE. The Nute Chapel was built about 1891 or 1892, to be used for "Union" meetings, from a fund left by the late Hon. Lewis W. Nute, of this town, to whom Milton owes so much. The first HISTORICAL 107 pastor was Rev. "Wm. A. Bacon, who remained several years. The present pastor of the church is Rev. Robert M. Peacock, who bar Ven here about ten years. There was a Christian Church at West Milton about fifty years ago, but no services have been held there by that society for many years. INDUSTRIES. There are very few towns on the Atlantic slope which possess such excellent facilities for the development of water power as the town of Milton. The Salmon Falls river, which, with its tributaries traverses and bounds the township, is superior in available water power to all but one of the rivers of a similar size flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. The declivity of the river from its source (East Pond) to the sea is 499 feet, and more than half of this total fall (275 feet) is within the limits of Milton, giving this town the greatest water power on the river. The Cocheco Manufacturing Company of Dover have an available water power of 1,000 horse power; and a fall of 36 feet; the Great Falls Manufacturing Company of Somersworth, one of 2,500 horse power occasioned by a fall of 62 feet. It is interesting to compare the facilities of these important corporations with those of the town of Milton. It is possible for one plant to utilize, from the pond to and including the flume privilege, a fall of 140 feet, which with a run of 12,000 or more cubic feet of water per minute, will 108 MILTON develop from 2,500 to 3,000 horse power. One horse power being the rate of doing 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute, the total power available would be from at least 82,500,000 to 99,- 000,000 foot-pounds of work a minute. As the foot-pound is the work done in lifting a mass of one pound through one foot, it can readily be seen that the potential energy of the water fall in Milton is indeed enormous. This does not include the fall of 47 feet at Milton Mills, with 231 horse power, nor that of Spaulding's upper mill with a fall of 21 feet and a horse power of 375. The first dam in town was built on the site of the present main dam at Milton Village, by Samuel Palmer about the year 1784. Saw mills and grist mills were built on each side. At the flume about that time was the old Jones saw and grist mill, washed away by the freshet of 1786. The Leighton privilege was located near the present upper leather board mill, and was one of the earliest in town. At this place in 1816, Thomas Leighton erected a cotton mill which he operated more than twenty years. The other privileges on the river were also utilized at an early date. Among the industries at Milton Mills in the early days of the town were several saw mills, a crude woolen mill, and a distillery where Stephen Watson manufactured whiskey from potatoes. Oilman Jewett, Nathaniel Jewett, Asa Jewett and a Mr. Wedgewood transformed the old woolen mill into a lathe and turning mill about sixty-five or seventy years ago, after which it was operated more or less irregularly up to the year 1847, when it was purchased by John Townsend, who used the machin- HISTORICAL 109 ery for the manufacture of fine flannels, until 1861, when the mill was burned. Mr. Townsend was a wonderfully astute buyer, and manufacturer, and one who understood the art of selling the manufactured goods. As a result, he was very successful. In June, 1863, he opened a much larger factory which replaced the mill that had been burned, and after continuing the manu- facture of flannels for some time, sold the mill to Mudge, Saw- yer & Co., of Boston, Mass. This firm, after occupying it for about six years, disposed of it to the Waumbeck Company, a stock corporation, of which John D. Sturtevant of Boston was the managing agent. Geo. W. Olney was the first superintendent under the Waumbeck Company, and was succeeded by Benj. J. Adams. During the management of John A. Buguey, a differ- ent concern assumed control of the mill, the Waumbeck Woolen Co. The mill was burned in 1898. The Miltonia Mills were built by Henry H. Townsend in 1872. Operations were begun in 1873, Mr. Townsend and his partner, Mr. S. H. Atkins, carrying on the manufacture of felt under the firm name of Townsend & Co. Felt was the principal output of the mill up to the year 1881, when it was replaced by blankets, and the plant called the Miltonia Mills. The original mill with the new factory and additions, make up the present plant. Mr. Henry Townsend died June 25, 1904, and was succeeded by his son, Mr. John E. Townsend, the present owner. Sixty- five hands are employed, and the industry has grown to exten- sive proportions. On the site of the shoe factory occupied by Andrews Bros., Edward Brierly erected a felt mill about forty years ago, where 110 MILTON he carried on a large business, employing a fair number of hands until it was burned in the spring or early part of the summer of 1873. He rebuilt the mill soon afterward, and the property later came into the possession of David H. Buffum of Somers- worth. After Mr. Buffum 's death, his son, Harry Buffum, sold it to Varney & Lane, who began the manufacture of shoes. The next owners of the factory were the Gale Shoe Co., of Haverhill, who, after several years of successful operation, leased the prop- erty to Andrews & Co., of Everett, Mass., who, under the name of the Boynton Shoe Co., carry on the industry successfully at the present time. At West Milton, formerly called Goodwinville, John E. and Chas. Goodwin built and operated a shoe factory which soon made that village a prosperous place. After the business had been carried on with success for a dozen or fifteen years, the factory was closed, John E. Goodwin going to Dover to take charge of a factory there, and Charles to become a traveling salesman for a Boston firm. At South Milton, in the forties or fifties, Eli and Hiram Wentworth had a factory but their business was discontinued many years ago. Milton Village with the excellent facilities for the utiliza- tion of water power which she is so fortunate to possess, has become a prosperous and active industrial community, like her sister village, Milton Mills. With her great shoe factory, leather- board and paper mills, and other industries, all enjoying an extensive and growing business, and employing many hands, she presents to the visitor, as she nestles between the mountain and the river and pond, the appearance of a perfect little hive HISTORICAL 111 of industry and activity. Were it not for the law suits and grasping methods of the owners of water privileges here in the early days of the town by which the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, about the year 1820, were prevented from utilizing the water power and establishing a plant, Milton probably would be an important city. The tremendous natural and artificial advantages still remain, however, and are being utilized more and more. Milton is constantly growing in prosperity and wealth, and the time seems not far distant when this town, increasing and developing her industrial activity, will become one of the most important manufacturing centres in eastern New Hampshire. MILITARY HISTORY. There is nothing in the history of the town of Milton, which is more worthy of a detailed and comprehensive account, noth- ing which confers more honor and glory upon her people, noth- ing which gives her so noble a right to one of the highest places among the towns and cities of New Hampshire as her military record, and the sympathy, assistance, and steadfast, self-sacrific- ing loyalty she has given to our country whenever the Nation was in peril or in need of aid. To do her military history jus- tice is a task which should be attempted only by one familiar with the men and ideals of her earlier days, one who has inherited a love for her and for all that is hers, for no one who does not truly know and love the town could do it well. 112 MILTON The military history of Milton antedates that of the town itself, for it was almost a quarter century after the Revolution closed that the ' ' Northeast Parish ' ' of Rochester became a town. It is recorded that many citizens of this part of Rochester left their homes to join the Continental Army and to do their share toward the winning of the independence of the colonies. One of the first men who enlisted from Rochester was John Bergin of Milton Three Ponds, who signed the roll on the second day of June, in 1775. He was a sergeant in Capt. Titcomb's Com- pany. Timothy Ricker, too, was in the American service, a man who possessed so magnificent a physique, that he served as one of the body guards of General Washington. Samuel Nute, sergeant in Capt. Wentworth's Company of New Hampshire volunteers, was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant in the regiment Nov. 11, 1776, and served until Sept. 16, 1777. Daniel Cook, too, was a sergeant, a member of Capt. Benj. Ellis' Company in Col. Scammel's regiment. Joseph Pearl was in Capt. Rowell's Company of Col. Nathan Hale's Battalion, and William Palmer served in the Second N. H. Regiment in 1780. At the battle of Bunker Hill where so many New Hamp- shire men were engaged, Milton was represented by William Warren, who was wounded during that famous fight. Milton's record in the War of 1812 is no less glorious. This was the first struggle in which she as an incorporate town sent men into the service of the Nation. Fifty-four men were furnished from Milton alone, for the army and the navy, more than a third of those able to bear arms going to the front! Milton indeed had just cause to rejoice at the outcome, and the final and lasting establishment of American independence, and HISTORICAL 113 the famous celebration held in the old T. C. Lyman tavern, April 15, 1815, was one which fitly manifested the joy and satisfac- tion of the people here over the outcome of the war. New England, being far removed from the seat of war between Mexico and the United States, and opposed to the policy which brought on the conflict, took little part in the Mexican War, and it was carried on and brought to a successful close, for the most part, by the men of the South and West, though New England, indeed, was well represented and by no means played the part of the shirk. The great struggle of the Rebellion, however, was the true test of the spirit and patriotism of the people of the towns in this section of the North, and as in all the former struggles the citizens of Milton were not found wanting. They took a strong and emphatic stand against slavery and dis-union, and strong resolutions were passed in opposition to both. But they did not stop there. Believing that deeds and not words are the true indication to character and sincerity they made active prepara- tions to assist in the prosecution of the war. Scarcely had Fort Sumpter capitulated and the President 's call for volunteers been received throughout the North than the names of men of Milton were on the enlistment rolls, and the soldiers were ready to march to the front. "Their acts of bravery were recorded on nearly every field during the four years' struggle." There were approximately 355 able bodied voters in the town at the outbreak of the war, and of this number 150 enlisted, almost one-half of the male population going to the front! In response to the quota of 91 men demanded from Milton by the drafts, this town sent 103. This record is one of which 114 MILTON every Miltonian is and may be justly proud, for it is indeed a worthy one. From a financial standpoint, too, Milton's record does not suffer. Milton, with a population of 1,862 people, should have given for the support of the war, about $55,000, in proportion per capita to the population of New Hampshire, and the total amount furnished by the State. This proportion of $55,000 was exceeded by almost $30,000, the town voting the sum of $79,500 for the use of the Nation. This is the record then of the town of Milton in the great crises of our country. It is not necessary to recount in detail the individual services of the soldiers of the town, for the events and struggles in which they distinguished themselves are familiar to all. Their courage and pluck were unbounded; they fought and suffered, yes, and died with that indomitable will, that love of liberty, and that heroism which characterized their fathers and is still the legacy of their sons, handed down since the days of Sullivan and Stark and Hale, as their most priceless heritage to be preserved unsullied and undimmed from generation to generation, so long as the Republic exists. EDUCATIONAL ACCOUNT. The first teacher employed by the town of Milton was James F. Maston, who kept the winter term of 1803 in a school build- ing erected on the Ridge. He received as wages a sum equivalent to about $25 or $26, and was "boarded around." Miss Mary Walbridge, the first woman teacher engaged by HISTORICAL 115 the town, taught the summer term of 1804, receiving two pounds eight shillings (about $12) as compensation for her services. The schoolhouse at the foot of Silver Street, one of the "little red" buildings so common years ago, was constructed in 1827. It was renovated, and made a two-story structure in 1853, and continued in use as a school building until about 1890, when it was sold. In 1891, the present grammar school building was erected, and is the "proud possessor" of the bell which was formerly in the old schoolhouse, and which still performs its function effi- ciently and well. The central school building at Milton Mills has, for a number of years, been used by both the higher gram- mar and lower high school grades there. The first attempt at the establishment of a high school in Milton was made by the Rev. Ezra S. Anderson, in 1832. The most successful of the earlier institutions, however, was the Classical Institute, classes being held in the old Union meeting- house, remodeled in 1866, for that purpose. Many men of prom- inence in the community and State, today, point with pride and satisfaction to the early training they received there. The Nute High School was founded in 1889, as was the Nute Library, in accordance with the provisions of the will of Lewis Worster Nute, a native of Milton who died in 1888. Among the many worthy benefactions which Mr. Nute bequeathed to his townsmen were the $125,000 for the institu- tion which bears his name, and $50,000 for the public schools. As a result of Mr. Nute's generosity and the praiseworthy interest which Milton people have always had in education, this town has splendid educational facilities, which are second to those of no town of a similar size in New Hampshire. 116 MILTON PROFESSIONAL MEN. PHYSICIANS. \ Perhaps the earliest resident physician at Milton Village was Dr. Stephen Drew, a native of Newfield, Me., who came in the early days of the town, about the year 1820, and practised until 1873, a long period of more than fifty years of activity. Dr. D. E. Palmer came some time in the latter part of the decade 1850-1860, and remained until about 1865, when he went to Tuftonborough. Dr. G. W. Peavey, who came here from Ossipee, carried on the practice which Dr. Palmer had left, and remained about four years, at the end of which time he removed to Somersworth, where he died. Dr. Nute succeeded Dr. Peavey, but stayed only a short time. For several years there was no resident physician at the village until Dr. H. P. Pitcher came in 1879. Dr. Pitcher, after continuing in practice here about four years, went to Haverhill, where he still carries on the practice of his profession. The Rev. Frank Haley, M.D., who acted as pastor of the Congregational Church, was also a practising physician here about the middle of the seventies. Dr. W. F. Wallace, Milton's next physician, came in 1883. After about four years of practice here, he went to Bradford in 1887, in which year Dr. C. D. Jones, a native of Milton, and a graduate of Harvard, began practice here. Dr. Jones gave up his practice about the year 1891. Dr. J. Dearborn was here a short time in the latter eighties. Dr. M. A. H. Hart, like Dr. Jones, a Milton man, came here the same year (1891). After graduating at the University of HISTORICAL 117 the City of New York, Dr. Hart practised about three years in Fall River, Mass., at the end of which time he came to his native town, to begin a practice which has now grown to exten- sive proportions. Dr. W. F. Wallace returned to Milton in 1893, and practised until his removal to Plaistow four years later. Dr. John Wal- lace, a native of Ireland, came here in 1897. Three years later he removed to Roxbury, Mass. At Milton Mills, the first physician to carry on an extensive practice was Dr. Reuben Buck, a native of Massachusetts, who lived in Acton, and visited patients in this village as early as 1830, and continued to reside here until his death. Prior to Dr. Buck's practice here, ,Dr. Powers of Acton and Dr. Russell of Wakefield, attended sick calls. Dr. Jonathan S. Calef, who came from Maine, married one of Dr. Buck's daughters and settled here not many years after the latter 's arrival. He remained for some time, going from Milton to Manchester, later to Boston, Mass., and finally to San Francisco, Cal., where he died. Dr. John L. Swinerton, from Newfield, Maine, was in prac- tice in this village, contemporary with Dr. Buck, remaining here about twenty-five years. At the end of that time he went to Union where, later, he died. Dr. Jeremiah Crosby Buck, a son of Dr. Reuben, began practice here during the latter years of his father's residence in this locality, and continued in active practice almost up to the time of his death, which occurred about the year 1890. Dr. Chas. E. Swasey, who had been an army surgeon dur- ing the Civil War, married another of Dr. Reuben Buck's daugh- 118 MILTON ters, and began the practice of his profession shortly after the close of the war. He remained here about five years, removing, at the end of that time, to Rochester, from which place he went to Somersworth, where he died May 30, 1907. His remains were brought to his native town and buried in the Roadside Cemetery just outside the village. Dr. Wm. E. Pillsbury, a native of Shapleigh, Me., came sometime during the latter part of the decade 1860-1870, and remained until February, 1907. Dr. Charles W. Gross came at about the same time, and has enjoyed a long and successful practice which he still carries on at the present time. Dr. Frank Weeks, a graduate of the Baltimore Medical College, came to this village in March, 1902, and is one of the present resident physicians. Dr. L. B. Bradford came here about the month of June, 1907, but remained only a short time. Dr. Hugh D. Grant, like Dr. Weeks, an alumnus of the Baltimore Medical College, began practice at this place during the latter part of the summer of 1907, and has resided here since that time. LAWYERS. Ichabod Jordan practised law in Milton Mills nearly sixty- five or seventy years ago. He remained several years, going at the end of that time to Great Falls (Somersworth), where he continued to practice until his death. Wm. A. Kimball was the next lawyer here. He remained a few years, and then went to Rochester, where, later, he died. Frank Weeks, the next HISTORICAL 119 practitioner, resided here several years, subsequently removing to West Buxton, Maine, where he died. Edwin Cloutman practised here several years, until his removal to Farmington, where he practised until his death. Forrest L. March commenced the practice of law here about the year 1900, after having been admitted to the bar of Maine. He is still in practice at the village. Milton Village has had but one resident attorney, Harry B. Amey, who came in 1897. He removed several years later to Island Pond, Vt. MILTON IN NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATE. Beard Plumer, 1809-10-11-12-16.

"The centennial celebration of the town of Milton, held August 30, 1902, was in honor of the one hundredth anniver- sary of the first town meeting. This meeting convened at the tavern of Lieut. Elijah Home, August 30, 1802, only a short time after the charter, which gave Milton its independent existence, had been signed by Governor Gilman. This instrument had 120 MILTON been granted at the June session of the legislature of New Hampshire at the petition and largely through the efforts of Capt. Beard Plumer, one of the representatives from Rochester, who, with others, felt that the time had come for Milton to sever the ties which bound her to the mother town. "At the annual meeting held in March, 1902, it was voted to celebrate in an appropriate manner the closing of the first century of the town's existence. An appropriation was made and a general committee selected. As a result of the able and painstaking efforts of this committee, together with those chosen to assist, the observance of the centennial was made eminently fitting to mark the close of the first century of Milton's history. "Saturday, August 30, 1902, was a beautiful day; there was scarcely a cloud in the sky and the temperature was ideal for the purposes of the occasion. Sunrise was accompanied with the ringing of bells and a cannon salute of thirty-three guns. One hundred guns were fired during the day, a second thirty- three at noon and the remainder at sunset. Although the cele- bration had practically begun on Friday night with the huge bonfire on the summit of the historic Mt. Teneriffe, it was not until Saturday morning that the guests commenced to arrive in large numbers. "Every incoming train was heavily laden and hundreds came in teams from surrounding towns. It was the largest crowd that Milton ever saw, being variously estimated by the press at from seven to ten thousand. "From 8.30 to 10 o'clock field and water sports were held; from 9 to 10 o'clock the Hanson American band of Rochester gave a concert on the Upper square. Then came the street HISTORICAL 121 parade. This was a fine feature of the day, including many beautifully trimmed floats and private teams, bicycles, and not a few grotesque and humorous make-ups. The marshal was Major Charles J. Berry, Milton Mills, N. H. ; assistant marshal, James F. Reynolds, Wakefield, Mass.; aides, Clifford A. Berry and Charles Manser, Milton Mills; Walter Holden, Wakefield, Mass. ; Scott Ramsdell, Samuel E. Drew, and Fred S. Hartford, Milton. ''Following the parade a good old-fashioned New England dinner was served in large tents, on the Nute High School grounds, to over two thousand people. It was at high noon, also, that the new town clock in the Congregational Church was officially started. This was presented to the town of Milton by Mr. Albert O. Mathes of Dover, N. H., as a memorial to the Rev. James Doldt, who was pastor of the Congregational Church from 1850 to 1871. "Promptly at two o'clock the commemorative exercises began in the grove, on the Nute High School grounds, Hon. Elbridge W. Fox, of Milton Mills, Ex-Senator from this district, presiding as President of the day. In addition to those upon the official programme, Mayor Bradley of Rochester spoke in behalf of the mother town and Mr. Edward P. Nichols, of Lexington, Mass., treasurer of the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, delivered a short address. The violin used as an accompani- ment to the singing was played by Miss Annie B. Kimball, of Milton, while the old violincello, which took the place of the church organ in the early days of the town, was restrung and played by Mr. Sumner Hodsdon of Dover, N. H. ' ' One of the most attractive and appropriate features of the 122 MILTON day was the collection of antiquities in the old Worcester House, itself past one hundred years in age. These rare and valuable articles, from 75 to 200 or more years old and gathered from many sources, by Mr. Albert 0. Mathes, of Dover, N. H., were intimately connected with the early history of the town. Many of the interesting buildings in the village had placards placed upon them, giving the date of their erection and other matters of interest. Among these were the following: The home of Dr. Stephen Drew, 1820-1873, built by John Bergin in 1773; the house in which Lewis W. Nute was born ; the building formerly the Union meetinghouse, 1838-1859; John Fish's house, 1794, where was located the first post-office in 1818; the site of the first tavern built in 1787 by Benjamin Palmer; the house of Thomas Leighton, 1810-1860; the site of the house of Gilman Jewett, first town clerk, 1800; the site of the first tannery, owned by John Bergin, 1773. "The celebration was, in every respect, an unqualified suc- cess, and reflected the greatest credit upon all concerned. All of those present, whether natives of the town or friends, felt that the observance was in every way worthy of the occasion and of Milton." Census of Miilton.

Wakefield, in the south-easterly corner of Carroll County, is fifty miles from Concord, and is bounded on the north-west by Ossipee and Effingham on the south-east by Milton, south- west by Middleton and Brookfield, and on the east by Newfield, Maine. The surface is diversified with hills, rocks, and ponds and is very broken, but there is much excellent land for agriculture, and the soil when brought under proper cultivation is very pro- ductive. The largest body of water in the township is East Pond, situated on the boundary line of Maine and New Hampshire, and lying partly in Wakefield and partly in Acton, Maine. It is a beautiful sheet of water, about three miles wide and six miles long, and formerly bore the Indian name of Newichwannoek. Not far below the outlet of East Pond are Wilton and Horn's ponds. The Salmon Falls river rises in East Pond, and flows along the whole eastern boundary of the town of Milton divid- ing New Hampshire from Maine. Lovewell's Pond, on the south-east side of the township, received its name from Capt. John Lovewell, the famous Indian fighter, and is about seven hundred rods long and two hundred and seventy-five rods wide. One branch of the stream that flows through Union Village 160 WAKEFIELD rises in this pond; the other branch takes its rise from Cook's Pond in Brookfield. Province Pond, a pretty sheet of water in the north-easterly part of the town, and Pine River Pond not far away, are the other important bodies of water in Wake- field. The latter is the source of Pine river which flows through Ossipee and Effingham into Ossipee Lake. The principal villages in the town of Wakefield are Union, Sanbornville, Wakefield, East Wakefield, and North Wakefield, all situated on the North Conway branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad. Population in 1790, 646; in 1900, 1,645. EARLY PROPRIETARY AND SETTLEMENT. The present town of Wakefield, formerly that section of the Masonian Patent, known as "East Town" or "Eastermost Township," said to have been a part of a town chartered in 1737 as "Kings- Wood" was, April 27, 1749, granted by a vote of the Masonian Proprietors, to John Ham, Gershom Downes, John Horn, and seventy-six others, all described as residents of Dover and Somersworth, except Noah Emery of Kittery, Maine. Soon afterward a survey was made, and April 11, 1750, at an inn in Portsmouth, the lot for the location of shares was cast, and the holdings in East Town (in first and second divis- ions) were divided among the several proprietors, of whom, very few, if any, settled here. The first tree felled within the township was in 1766. The HISTORICAL 161 first family to remain here any length of time passed the winter of 1767 in this place. The first settlers came, probably, from Exeter, and were soon followed by colonists from Dover, Roches- ter, Portsmouth, and other towns in that section of New Hamp- shire. They were a sturdy lot, most of them young men, eager to acquire broad acres and wealth in the wilderness. In 1769, there were eleven families here; thirty in 1770. Lieut. Jonathan Gilman, the first settler, married Mehitable Kimball in 1746, and in 1767, settled on the old main road from Wakefield to Milton. Capt. Jeremiah Gilman came with his family from Exeter, probably at about the same time, and built a house opposite the "Old Maid's Tavern," where he lived until May 1, 1791, the day of his death. John Horn, a native of Dover, was the third settler, taking up land here not long after the Gilmans came. His lot was probably 48. He was the first town clerk of Wakefield, and was one of the most prominent men in the early days of the town. He died in 1829, at the advanced age of almost ninety-two years. Capt. David Copp was another leading man in the early days. He was a native of Rochester, where he was born Dec. 11, 1738. In July, 1779, he bought of Samuel Austin, lot 37; but owned also lot 15, on Sanborn Hill, where he built his resi- dence. He had been an ofiicer in the Revolution, in which he rendered distinguished service. He was the first moderator of the town meeting in this town, and held many other offices dur- ing his life. He died in the year 1817. Deacon Simeon Dearborn (1727-87) came from Greenland, before 1770, and after living for several years in a log hut, 162 WAKEFIELD erected the first two-story house in town. He owned lot 42 next to the "minister's lot," 44. He, too, was a prominent man, in the early settlement, one of great intelligence and worth. His first wife was Anne Gookins; his second, Martha Haven, one of the Portsmouth family of that name. John Haven, the deacon's brother-in-law, lived here a few years, being an extensive dealer in lands, and a man of prom- inence. He sold his house and the lot on which it was located, to Joseph Leavitt in 1789. "Leavitt's Tavern," was the name given to it later, it having been made, probably, into an inn. Josiah Page bought "10 acres in S. W. of 42," of Simeon Dearborn in September, 1773. John Kimball (1741-1807) purchased in 1768, lot 40, near the lands of Jonathan Gilman. His younger brother, Noah Kimball, married Mehitable, daughter of Jeremiah Gilman, and settled here in 1770. He was one of the early town officials, and a man of some prominence. He died at the age of 66. Lieutenant, later Colonel Jonathan Palmer, a veteran of the French and Indian war, was a native of Rochester, where his father was a prominent man in church affairs, and h'is mother the "town physician." He was collector for the proprietors, 1770-74, and later was a leading Federalist in the town and State. He lived to a good old age. Lieut. Andrew Gilman was the son of Capt. Jeremiah Gil- man. Clement Steele, from Brentwood, was an early settler, also, locating probably near the Kimballs. Benjamin Kimball, tradition has it, came from Dover Point about 1768, began a clearing, went back to Dover, and returned in the fall to build a house, into which he moved, probably, HISTORICAL 163 the next spring. His brother, Thomas, lived nearby. Rev. Avery Hall, a native of Meriden, Conn., and a graduate of Yale, came here in 1777 after having been pastor of the Rochester church for a period of nine years. He held several important town offices, was a large land holder, a leader in the organization of the church in this town, and for many years was one of the ablest and most prominent men in this section. Samuel Sherborn lived opposite the ''minister's lot;" Wm. Moore, the first constable of the town, over the hill beyond Simeon Dearborn. The first settler on the site of the present village of Union, was either Samuel Haines or Joseph, his son, who came about 1775. The Haines family resided in the dwelling opposite the ancient Pike's Hotel. The Haineses came, probably, from Greenland. They were mill owners and leading manufacturers more than a century ago. These two men, Samuel and Joseph, lie buried directly opposite the railroad depot in Union Village. Robert Hardy, a mill man also, was an early settler, coming here from Exeter, in December, 1771. On lots 5 and 6, above Hardy's, Samuel Allen, Samuel Allen, Jr., and Abner Allen nearby were early residents. They carried on blacksmithing and operated a saw mill near the Allen bridge. Nathaniel Balch bought lot 64 in 1776, of John Horn. He was a man of fifty-eight years of age, one of the oldest men among the settlers. He was a staunch patriot, a man of wisdom and high moral character, and attained a high place among his fellow citizens. Beyond his residence, to the south, on the Garvin place, 164 WAKEFIELD Eliphalet Quimby of Exeter settled. His daughter Dorothy was probably the first white child born in Wakefield, and as the date of her birth is recorded as June 30, 1768, Mr. Quimby was, evidently, one of the earliest pioneers in this section. Daniel Hall, with his wife, Patience (Taylor) Hall, of San- bornton, settled to the north of Nathaniel Balch. Their only child, Hannah, married John Sanborn. Samuel Hall of Dover, John Scribner, and Reuben Lang come next, and the families, as can be seen from the records, were closely connected by inter-marriage. Near the "Lang" or "Lock" schoolhouse, close by, Jacob and Mehitable Lock made a home for themselves. The Weekses, originally from Greenland, were early set- tlers, and have many descendants in this part of the county. Mayhew Clark, of North Hampton, purchased of Capt. Copp in May, 1772, lot 15, "in from the road over Tuttle's Hill." There he made a home, to which later, his brother, Jacob, came with his young bride to remain until he located permanently a mile away "near the sweep in the North Wake- field road that brings us in sight of Mt. Washington." Nathan Mordough, of Greenland, bought lot 11 in 1772, and settled near the Clarks and Weekses. He owned lot 44 also. He sold one-half of 11 to Judith Lang. Joseph Maleham, having bought, Dec. 13, 1793, most of lot 89, of Meyhew Clark, sold the "Wormwood place" to Daniel Horn. He built a house on lot 90, and brought to his new home Frederica Lang, his second wife. John Huggins, from whom Huggins brook derives its name, lived near that stream as early as 1790. Benj. Safford's place HISTORICAL 165 adjoined that of Nathan Mordough; on the Richards lot beyond was Moses Gage; and on the Lucas lot was Joseph Pike, who had a brother Robert on the Brookfield side. Near Wakefield Corner, in the vicinity of lot 90 and the schoolhouse, John Wingate "broke the first ground," and not far away on lot 54, Eliphalet Philbrook built the first house erected in that vicinity. John Wingate was one of the select- men during the year 1780. His brother, Joshua, who "believed in witches," settled in that neighborhood, also. The Sawyers came into that section, too, to find homes. Wakefield Corner continued to grow in number of inhabit- ants and in prosperity, and with its taverns, stores, and numer- ous dwellings, became, about the year 1800 and later, a centre of trade and industry. Richard Dow from Kensington, whose descendants have lived, for many years, on the estate near the waters of beautiful Lake Newichwannock, came about the year 1781. Isaac Fellows, also from Kensington, had a house nearby. His daughter married Levi Neal, who lived on Tuttle's Hill. Not far away was the residence of Nathan Dearborn. Jacob Welch, Jonathan Binley and Ebenezer and John Hill lived near East Wakefield station. At the Pine River settle- ment (North Wakefield) were Jacob Clark, Simon Blake, Sil- vanus Wentworth, Lieut. James Young, Nathaniel Cook, and others. The Wentworths and Waldrons settled "over the river." Thomas Cloutman, who came to "Horn's Mills" from the Piper house in 1779, was a settler in Wakefield as early as 1780, coming to this place from Rochester. 166 WAKEFIELD Benjamin and David Horn were settlers in that locality at the time. At the head of Lovewell's Pond, was the home of the Wiggins, Simeon, Isaiah, perhaps, also, Jacob Wiggin, men prominent here many years ago. James Hutchins, too, was one of Wakefield's pioneers, as were John Garlin, Samuel Chapman, who sold to David Spin- ney, Christopher Skinner and William Blaisdell. With this account of the early settlement and the men to whom the people of Wakefield owe so much, the "early settle- ment" may be closed. It was not a difficult task, for we have but followed in the foot-steps of the Eev. Albert H. Thompson, who compiled the account from which this (with changes) has been "boiled down." Wakefield's settlers were of the best blood of the colonists of New Hampshire, and there were few weaklings among them. Theirs was a difficult and a dangerous task, the colonization of a region in the forests. They were soldiers, many of them, brave men of determination and perseverance, and of industry and achievement, who have handed down to their descendants the legacy of a work faithfully and ably performed, and of a mission fulfilled to the best of their ability. INCORPORATION. Wakefield was incorporated Aug. 30, 1774, by its present name, during the governorship of John Wentworth; prior to that time it had been called East Town, under a grant from the Masonian Proprietors. By act of the legislature approved June HISTORICAL 167 22, 1820, a gore of land, containing all that belonged to Wake- field on the northerly side of Province Pond, was severed from this town and annexed to Effmgham. June 23, 1858, an act was passed severing a tract of land from the town of Milton and annexing it to Wakefield. PETITION FOR INCORPORATION. PROVENCE OP NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The first church formed in the town of Wakefield was organized Sept. 17, 1785, with the following members: Samuel HISTORICAL 173 Haines, Avery Hall, Abigail Hall, Richard Dow, Mary Dow, Simeon Dearborn, Martha Dearborn, Mayhew Clark and Mary Clark. The Rev. Asa Piper became the first pastor of the church, and was the first and only town minister. He served the church faithfully and well until May 17, 1835. Rev. Samuel Nichols, a graduate of the Bangor Theological Seminary, was ordained as colleague pastor, Sept. 17, 1828 and served until March 7, 1833, when he was dismissed by council. Rev. Nathaniel Barker, a Dartmouth and Andover graduate, came shortly after Mr. Piper's death, and remained here very many years. He died Oct. 13, 1853. His successors were: Rev. Marion Leifingwell, 1856-60; Jos. B. Tufts, a graduate of Harvard in 1849, 1861-64; Daniel T. Tappan (Bowdoin), Nov. 19, 1865-April 1, 1871; Rev. Alvan Tobey, a short pastorate, probably in 1871; Rev. Sumner Clark (Amherst), May, 1872-1875; Rev. Geo. O. Jenness, 1875-1880; Rev. A. H. Thompson (Andover, Amherst, Yale), 1880-1887; Rev. Lyman White (Dartmouth), June, 1888, died May 30, 1889. There have been many able pastors at the church since the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. White. The present pastor is the Rev. 0. G. Baker. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH UNION. The Congregational Church at Union Village was organized during the pastorate of the Rev. Joseph Fawsett, Sept. 5, 1880- Sept., 1882. Prior to the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Fawsett, Rev. Geo. 0. Jenness had preached during the period April 22, 1877-May 11, 1879, and Rev. C. F. Goldsmith from May 18, 1879 to May 16, 1880. Following Mr. Fawsett, Jan. 7, 1883, Rev. G. S. Butler 174 WAKEFIELD came to remain until May 4, 1888, since which time the follow- ing clergymen have been pastors of the church and brought it through nearly twenty years of prosperity and of great moral and spiritual influence upon this community: Rev. Hillis Jor- dan, May 11, 1888-Aug., 1888 ; Rev. Wm. France, Nov. 4, 1888- Oct. 31, 1891; Rev. L. C. Graves, Nov. 1, 1891-Nov. 1, 1894; Rev. Rob't L. Sheaff, Mar. 1, 1895-Mar. 1, 1897; Rev. B. W. Drawbridge, Oct. 5, 1897-June 4, 1900; Rev. L. W. Muttart, Sept. 28, 1900-Sept. 28, 1902 ; and Rev. E. P. Eastman, who came Dec. 1, 1902, and still continues as pastor of the church. The members of the church at the present time number fifty- two, of whom thirty-two are residents at Union village. Mr. Chas. W. Page and Mr. Chas. S. Boody are the deacons of the church, and Mrs. Helen M. Hanson is clerk. FREE BAPTIST CHURCHES. The First Free Baptist Church in Wakefield was probably at North Wakefield. The society after some time became extinct. The Second Free Baptist Church was organized in 1831, and was a centre of influence in South Wakefield for many years. The church was supplied by different preachers until 1835, when the meetinghouse was finished and dedicated. Joseph Spinney, one of the members, was the first pastor ordained. For many years he acted as pastor of the church, but in 1854 he became a zealous advocate of Adventism, and April 9, of that year, withdrew from the church. Twenty-two members, and later twelve others withdrew also. After that the following ministers were pastors of the church: Elders Cummins Parris, John Chick, and H. P. Mansur, who was ordained Oct. 30, 1862, HISTORICAL 175 and served the society for several years. He was the last pastor of the church. Rev. Mr. Churchill of Milton Mills supplies the church at present. The Third Free Baptist Church, in the vicinity of East Wakefield, has become extinct. Elder John Brooks preached many years. Meetings were held in the schoolhouse. The Fourth Free Baptist Church was organized at Union Village, July 22, 1868, with nineteen members. Rev. Joshua A. Stetson was pastor for a year, and Rev. Samuel P. Fernald preached in 1859 and 1860. METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHES. There was a Methodist society in Wakefield as early as 1828, and circuit preachers visited the people here, among them being Revs. Roswell Putnam and Herschel Foster. The class was accustomed to meet at the house of Francis Chapman. A church at Union Village was for many years in active operation. Milton circuit, October, 1831, A. H. Houghton, preacher in charge, J. Worster, assistant circuit preacher, held quarterly meetings at Milton, Union Village, Brookfield and Wakefield. 1833, July, circuit divided into Milton and Wakefield circuits; quarterly meeting at new meetinghouse ; John Adams and Moses Chase, preachers. 1834, last quarterly conference at the old meetinghouse in centre of the town. 1839, Joseph Smith, preacher ; Elisha Mills, local preacher and class leader at Union ; 1842, Jan. 8, Caleb Dustin, preacher; 1844, John French; 1846, I. C. Emerson ; 1853-54, L. H. Gordon ; 1857, Daniel W. Barber, preacher, James Thurston, presiding elder. The last minister appointed was Rev. Jos. P ; . Frye (Milton Mills and Union), in * 176 WAKEFIELD 1882. At North Wakefield, years ago, there was an organized Methodist Episcopal Church, but about the year 1880, a new church was organized and services held in the new Wesley Chapel Rev. H. T. Barnard, a Free Baptist clergyman, preached for a time at Leighton's Corner and at North Wakefield. Rev. W. Burrell preached also, and was among the foremost in secur- ing the new place of worship. North Wakefield was then in the Tuftonborough circuit, embracing Tuftonborough, East Wolfborough, and North Wake- field. The old meetinghouse had a long line of ministers, and was a "Union" Church as it was supplied by preachers of both the Methodist and Baptist profession, among them Elders Tap- lin and Hayes, Methodists, and Elders Walker and Olin Page, Baptists. Rev. Henry E. Allen preached after 1880, to people at Brookfield, Hackett schoolhouse, and at North Wakefield. Rev. Frank Chamberlain, a local preacher, supplied for a sea- son. Revs. Frank Hooper, Dana Cotton Fogg have preached here. Rev. Mr. Yost is the present pastor. A church was organized at Sanbornville in January, 1887, with seven members, and a new circuit was formed embracing Wolfboro Junction (Sanbornville), Brookfield, East Wolfe- borough, and North Wakefield, and April, 1887, Rev. Geo. A. Luce was appointed minister in charge. He served two years and was followed in 1889 by Rev. J. M. Bean. The church building had been dedicated in November, 1887. In 1889 there were forty communicants. The following clergymen have si%2eeded the Rev. Mr. Bean HISTORICAL 177 as pastor of the church : Revs. A. G. Smith, J. T. Hooper, Crook, O. W. Bryant, Lowell, Geo. R. Locke, R. H. Hughes, J. G. A. Martin and W. J. Wilkins, the present pastor who came to this church in April, 1907. ADVENT CHURCH. Meetings were held by the followers of Win. Miller in 1842, and later, and April 5, 1852, Elder Joseph Spinney, and twenty- two members, followed later by twelve others, withdrew from the Free Baptist Church and became a separate society. The first minister, Elder Spinney, continued as pastor of the church at South Wakefield, which had been erected by the Free Bap- tists and Adventists, for very many years until his death. Rev. Joseph Libby and other clergymen have supplied. The present Adventist supply is Rev. E. A. Goodwin. A society existed at Woodman's Mills, also, and had regular preaching for several years, by Elders T. L. Churchill, Chas. Coleman, both of Brookfield, and other ministers. Meetings for prayer and conference were held also, with Brother AJonzo Wentworth. The church was organized about the year 1878, under the labors of Rev. R. F. Emerson of East Rochester. For a number of years the society worshiped in the schoolhouse at Woodman. About fifteen years ago a church was erected. Revs. R. F. Emerson, D. W. Stevens of Effingham, T. J. Coolbroth and many other clergymen have preached at the church. Rev. F. J. Hadley came three years ago and is the present pastor of the church. The society has grown in numbers and prosperity constantly sijjce the organization of the church and 178 WAKEFIELD has a neat, commodious little chapel at the present time. ST. ANTHONY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. This church was built at Sanbornville about ten years ago. It is a mission station in the Wolfeboro, Wakefield, Milton cir- cuit, and is supplied by priests from Gonic, who say mass occasionally also at Union Village in this town. The Rev. Fr. Laroque began the construction of the church, and it was finished by the Rev. Fr. Lesard. Father Joseph Melancou, too, has supplied the church, which is now under the care of the Rev. Fr. Godin. About thirty-six families attend divine worship at the chapel, where mass is said every Sunday during the summer, and on Friday morning every fortnight in the winter. CHURCH OP ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST EPISCOPAL. The corner stone of the Episcopal Church at Sanbornville was laid on Saint John the Baptist's day, and the church of Saint John the Baptist was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. Wm. W. Niles, D.D., Bishop of New Hampshire, Sept. 14, 1877. The first rector was Rev. W. B. T. Smith. Rev. Wm. L. Himes was pastor during the six years between the winter of 1881 and that of 1887, and was succeeded in September, 1887, by Rev. Wm. S. Emery, who served until January, 1892. Succeeding pastors have been: Rev. W. S. L. Romily, who remained about four years; Rev. Chas. Bancroft, who remained about three years; Rev. Joseph Ames, who remained about four years; and John A. Chapin, the present pastor. I HISTORICAL 179 INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT. The earliest industries in the town of Wakefield were probably the mills of Messrs. Copp, Haines, Allen, and Hall, at which lumber was sawed, and grain ground for the benefit of the settlers. At Union, more than a hundred years ago, there was a "fulling mill," and very early a saw mill built by the settlers and operated by them on shares. On the site of the old saw mill, Luther G. Gate and others later did an extensive lumber business. The property was purchased by the Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad Company and operated for the manufacture of car stock. The next industry in the old mill, was the chair manufactory of Reuben Sanborn, who continued his business there a few years, before building a factory near the station, where he carried on the work exten- sively until it was destroyed by fire. The old mill came into the possession of J. F. and G. E. Hart, who manufactured lum- ber and later excelsior, which they continued for years. J. F. Hart, after selling his share of the property to his brother, went to Tacoma, Wash. Later J. F. Farnham purchased a half interest, then the entire plant, and has since continued the manufacture of excelsior. About a dozen or fifteen hands are employed by Mr. Farnham, and the annual output of the mill is about 2,500 ton. The factory at Union occupied by the W. M. Lord Co., manufacturers of excelsior, was built about twenty-five or thirty years ago, by T. C. Pike, who erected it for the manufacture of woolen goods. Mr. S. L. Hutchins purchased the mill and after manufacturing excelsior there for some years, disposed of 180 WAKEFIELD the property to the W. M. Lord Co., which began operations January, 1902. About twelve or fifteen hands are employed at this mill, and the output for the present year will amount to about 2,500 tons. The present site of the brass foundry at Union has been occupied by several industries, first as a grist mill, then an excel- sior factory, where Chas. E. Varney and Frank B. Drew carried on operations. It was first occupied as a brass foundry by the Union Brass Co. The property later became the property of Mr. Edw. F. Hamlin, one of the principal share holders, who has since carried on the industry under the name of the E. F. Hamlin Brass Co. The woolen mill of Arthur L. Taft at Union was built by John Meikle, about thirty years ago. For twelve or fifteen years, Mr. Meikle manufactured felt and carried on block printing there, until the plant came into the possession of the Star Woolen Co., which remained only a few years. Not long after- ward, the present owner, Mr. Taft, acquired the property, which he still operates for the manufacture of woolen goods, employing a large number of hands. The monumental works at Union were first used for that industry by Herbert F. Stevens, who carried on an extensive business for many years before selling to Chas. "W. Law from whom, a few years later, M. L. Johnson, formerly sheriff of Carroll County, bought it. He carries on a large business, close by the railroad station, where several hands are employed in the turning out of excellent granite and marble work. Mr. Johnson has branch works at Farmington. Until about the year 1870, Union was the terminal of the HISTORICAL 181 railroad, and a centre for the stage lines through the surround- ing country. The railroad shops were located there, and gave the village an important industry. In 1817, there were in the town of Wakefield a cotton fac- tory, a carding industry, three grain mills, three saw mills, three fulling mills. In 1859, there were five saw mills, five grist mills, and ten shingle, clapboard and planing mills, and a large amount of lumber was manufactured. In 1868, there were seven mills in town, that of the Pine River Lumber Company near the Ossipee line; Luther G. Gate's at Union; a large one near Wakefield Corner, run by John W. Sanborn, and others. Six shingle mills were in operation, and shoe and salt boxes, flannel boards, etc., were made. Tinware was extensively man- ufactured, and the shoe industry had grown to large propor- tions. In 1872, Wakefield ranked fourth in point of wealth, and third in mechanical business, among the towns in the county. Sanbornville owes its growth and prosperity principally to the railroad. It is an important junction of the Wolfeborough and North Conway branches of the Boston & Maine, and is a railroad centre, with offices, car works, and so forth, the industry affording employment for many of the people of the village. Other manufacturing industries in town at this time are the saw mills of James Horn at Horn's Mills and L. P. Wiggin in that vicinity, the mill at Sanbornville, of which Mrs. Lillian Rogers is proprietor, the G. L. Plummer mill below Union Vil- lage, and the mill formerly owned by D. W. Libby, now the property of Geo. Chick, at Woodman's Mills. 182 WAKEFIELD MILITARY HISTORY. REVOLUTIONARY WAR. Capt. David Copp was the first major in Col. Joseph Bad- ger's regiment in August, 1775; in November of the same year he commanded a company for the defence of the harbor and fortresses near Portsmouth; in November, 1780, he was lieu- tenant-colonel of militia. He was in command of a company at Bunker Hill. Lieut. Andrew Gilman served under Capt. Copp, Capt. Jeremiah Gilman "and 15 soldiers under him" served in the Bennington Expedition in 1777, Capt. Gilman being the Wake- field hero of that year. James Clark and Jona. Towle went to Rhode Island; Joseph Green served in the 3d N. H. Reg't; Dearborn Loverin and Joseph Dearborn were of Capt. Smith's Company of the Reynold Reg't; Jonathan Quimby and Paul Sanbourn enlisted in Capt. James Carr's Company; Jonathan Hazeltine served in Capt. Ellis' Company of Col. ScammeH's Reg't; Joshua Edgerly enlisted in Capt. Carr's Company Feb. 17, 1777, and probably served later in Capt. Wentworth's Com- pany; Joseph Edgerly was in Nathan Bale's Second Battalion; Timothy Ricker was in the 2d N. H. Reg't in 1780; Andrew Quimby enlisted in March, 1781, served in the 1st N. H. Reg't, was discharged in December of the same year, and died in the service of his country in 1782; Peter Barter served in Capt. Bell's Company in Col. Hale's Reg't, was taken prisoner on the retreat from Ticonderoga, and was wounded in the thigh at Monmouth, in consequence of which he was rendered unfit for HISTORICAL 183 duty and sent home. He was ordered to the fort and served under Col. Dame and Capt. Deering. The town voted $80 to five men who enlisted in 1776, for the expedition into Canada. These men were Josiah Miggin, Benj. Horn, Samuel Scribner, Henry Wentworth, and Jesse Wiggin. There were many splendid soldiers among them, fearless patriots, enured to hardship and privation, loving liberty, and disdaining suffering and death. Their names may be found on the State rolls of honor. WAR OP 1812. Major J. G. Hall and Lieut, or Capt. Jas. Hardy, stationed at Fort Constitution; Dr. Richard Russell, surgeon on privateer Polly, captured and confined in Dartmoor prison; Mayhew Clark, sent to Portsmouth. These men were not all natives of Wakefield, several of them not coming here until the close of the war. Lieut. Joseph Parker Smith was probably the only Wake- field man who served in the Mexican War. He was a graduate of West Point, and a brave soldier. He fell at Chapultepec. WAKEFIELD IN THE CIVIL WAR. The patriotism and loyalty to the Union, displayed by the citizens of the towns and cities throughout the New England States during the great War of the Rebellion, found an answer- ing chord in the hearts of the men of Wakefield, and they answered the call of duty with a willing and ready response. Thousands of dollars in bounties, aids, and contributions, and 184 WAKEFIELD a large quota of men were freely given to our country to aid her in the peril and conflict of the four long years. Wakefield's record of service in the Revolution was nobly maintained in the Civil War, for the men who fought and died to crush out slavery and to maintain the unity of the Republic were the descendants of the men who gave their all to win the independence of the new born Nation; the same blood flowed in their veins ; they were actuated by similar motives ; influenced by the same high ideals. In field, in camp, in hospital, they showed their worth as men, and their bravery and heroism never has, and never can be questioned. Wakefield's military record for a period going back even to the birth of the Nation has never been stained, and the names and deeds of the soldiers of the Rebellion, like those of the men of the Revolution reflect the greatest honor upon their native town. EDUCATIONAL ACCOUNT. In 1776, the town voted "8 for schooling, one-half to be laid out in the summer, the other half in winter." In 1777, Capt. David Copp, Daniel Hall, Wm. Moore, and John Kimball were chosen the first school committee, and 11 were voted for schooling, "One-half to be laid out below the pond, the other half above." In 1778, it was voted that the school be kept near John Kimball 's below the pond. 30 were appropriated that year ; in 1779, 60 ; in 1782, money sufficient to support a ' ' man school" for six months; in 1785, the interest of the school lot, HISTORICAL 185 and 24; in 1798, $200 including interest; in 1804-07, $200. Early teachers were: Elizabeth Piper, in the Hall district in 1807; Richard F. Dow, Sally Copp, and Samuel Fellows in 1808. Prior to this time, however, Masters Nicolson, Robinson, John Bosdel, David Glody, Evans; in 1795, John Dame, and Master Newlson. These were all teachers in town before the beginning of last century. The first schools were held, probably, in private houses, but in the fall of 1796 a schoolhouse was built, to be followed by several others later as new ones become necessary. ACADEMIES. In 1815, Mr. Josiah Dow, a leading merchant of Boston, built and established on his father's farm in this town, Dow Academy, which was dedicated Nov. 6, 1815. The institution flourished for several years, having an extensive patronage from students both in and out of the State, the roll of August, 1819, showing a student body of sixty-three. The building, after the school was closed several years after its foundation was removed to Sanbornville in 1886, to continue its usefulness as a hall for the societies of that village. Through the generosity of the founder's grandson, the Wakefield Academy incorporated in 1827, was, nearly sixty years after it had been closed, revived by the gift of one hun- dred dollars annually, and enjoyed a new period of prosperity for some time. 186 WAKEFIELD PETITION FOR AN INCORPORATION OF UNION LIBRARY, 1797. The petition of the subscriber in behalf of the proprietors of Wakefield and Brookfield Union Library being empowered by a vote of the proprietors for the purpose aforesaid, humbly prays that Timothy Johnson, Avery Hall, Jonathan Palmer, David Copp, William Chamberlain may be incorporated into a body politic with all the power and privileges that the Leg- islature in their wisdom may see proper for the benefit and continuance of the said institution, and your petitioner for and in behalf of said proprietors in duty bound will ever pray, etc. Wakefield, June 5th, 1797. DAVID COPP. The foregoing petition was granted in the House of Rep- resentatives, June 10, 1797, and the Senate concurred. PROFESSIONAL MEN. PHYSICIANS. Dr. Howe of Rochester was perhaps the first regular phy- sician to visit the people of this town. Another early physician was Dr. John Manning who was probably here from 1790 to 1800. Dr. Thomas Lindsay, too, must have been here very early, for he married a Wakefield woman, Polly Nudd, in 1787. He moved to Lincoln, Maine, in 1832. He had a long and suc- cessful practice. HISTORICAL 187 Dr. John McCrillis was one of the original members of the Strafford Medical Society and fifth president in 1832. His practice covered a period of many years. Dr. Richard Russell graduated at Dartmouth in 1813, and came to Wakefield soon after. He served as a surgeon in the War of 1812, but came back to Wakefield and practised with the exception of four years spent at Concord, from 1815 to 1833. After about twenty years of practice at Great Falls (Somers- worth) he died in 1855. Dr. Thos. Lindsay, Jr., began practice in this town about the year 1827. He went from here to Lincoln, Maine, where he continued to practice medicine until his death, Mar. 3, 1864. Dr. Nathaniel Grant and Dr. Jones (here in 1836) natives of Lebanon, Maine, were here between 1830 and 1840. The former went from here to Ossipee; the latter back to Lebanon. Dr. Sumner Gilman practised at Union and at Wakefield Corner. He was a graduate of the Dartmouth Medical School, 1833, married Miss Susan Wentworth of this town, and died here in 1841. Dr. Chas. L. Swasey came from Limerick about 1840, practised here some time, and went from this place to New Bedford, Mass., where he died. Dr. S. B. Twitchell came about 1849, married Miss Sarah E. Swasey, and went to Rushville, N. Y., returning later to Wakefield, where he continued in practice until October, 1854. He died the following year. Dr. S. W. Roberts, a native of Alton, and a Dartmouth alumnus, practised here many years. He was a member of the New Hampshire Medical Society, and its president, 1887-88. 188 WAKEFIELD Dr. Win. B. Reynolds of Acton, Maine, came to Union in 1855, and later went into the army. After the war he went to Lynn, Mass., where he died. Dr. John L. Swinerton, a native of Newfield, Maine, and a graduate of the Bowdoin Medical School, practised medicine in towns in this vicinity, and at Union, during a period of nearly fifty years. He died Nov. 2, 1882, at Union Village. Dr. John E. Scruton, a native of New Durham and a Bowdoin graduate, began practice at Union Jan. 1, 1871. He was a skilled surgeon and physician, and enjoyed an extensive practice throughout this whole section until his death. Dr. Chas. F. Roberts, born in Lebanon, Maine, Aug. 5, 1860, graduated at Columbia, and came to Sanbornville from New York in January, 1885, and practised in that village a number of years. Dr. P. T. Haskell came to Union after having practised a short time in the South, and remained several years, going from Union to Sanbornville, where he practiced for some time before removing to Concord. Drs. Merrill and Robinson practised a short time at Union Village. Dr. Chas. C. Rogers practised at the same place for a few years. He is now located in Farmington. Dr. John E. Stevens, a native of Wakefield, came here dur- ing the latter part of Dr. Rogers' stay, and still enjoys a suc- cessful and lucrative practice. Dr. H. A. Moody succeeded Dr. Haskell in practice May 1, 1905, coming here from a practice in Jackman, Me. He is still in practice at Sanbornville Village. HISTORICAL 189 Dr. "W. S. Davis of Fannington came here from a practice in Alton about fifteen years ago. The doctor not only attends to an extensive practice but also is proprietor of a modern and well-equipped pharmacy located in the same building as the offices of the town officials. LAWYERS. Joseph Tilton, Esq., born at East Kingston in 1774, grad- uated at Harvard in 1797, and commenced the practice of law in "Wakefield soon after 1800. He went to Eochester about 1805. "Squire" Sawyer, Amasa Copp, Josiah Hobbs practised law at Wakefield Corner years ago. The first lawyer at Sanbornville was John Sanborn, Esq., who practised at the village until his death. A. L. Foote, Esq., who came here from Somersworth many years ago, and John Gage, Esq., who is a later comer, are the present resident law- years in practice at Sanbornville, and in this town. L. M.

EARLY SETTLEMENT The township of Middleton was granted by the Mason- ian proprietors March 21, 1770, and incorporated by the Legislature March 4, 1778. In 1785, the inhabitants of the north part of Middleton and those of a portion of Wolfeborough, attempted to get set off from their respective towns and be incorporated into a separate town. The scheme did not succeed, being strongly opposed by Wolfeborough and the south part of Middleton. In 1794, the matter was again brought before the Leg- islature and the town was divided by an act passed Dec. 30, of that year, the north part being incorporated into a town by the name of Brookfield. The town was settled by men from Rochester and Lee. The following are the names of some of the early settlers of this town. David Varney, Nathaniel Varney, John Drew, Silas Varney, Aaron Drew, Eeze K. Varney, Jonah Keiinis- ton, William Buzzell, Wm. Clark, Job Allard, James Bry- ants, Nathaniel Wentworth, Isaac Drew. Among the early settlers of the town of Brookfield was HISTOKICAL 241 Tabias Hanson a Quaker, he settled near the base of Moose Mountain, and looking around he discovered a cave into which he moved before commencing the erection of his future habitation, and continued to live there during the time it took him to dig and stone his cellar, a part of which was done with split stone, and to erect a house thereon, the main part of which was two stories high, the cellar contained a spring of water which never went dry. That section of Moose Mountain near where he settled is called Hanson Mountain and the cave Tabias' Cave. The house no longer stands and the land through which a stream of water runs has been purchased by some wealthy men of Boston and other places and a dam constructed across it sufficiently large to flow a number of acres of land and a trout pond established. The place is called Mountain Lake Camp, and with what the proprietors have done added to what Nature has done, makes a very attractive place of it. BROOKFIELD TAX LIST 1796.

MILITARY MATTERS. These two towns have a joint and separate military record of which they may be justly proud. There are few towns which can boast a more loyal response to the calls for arms than these. They of course were most active in the war of the rebellion and we are most concerned with the names of the men who were called to serve in that terrible struggle. The list of men who served there as we have it given to us by residents of the two towns, may be incomplete, but we HISTORICAL 259 have endeavored to get it as complete as the knowledge of these citisens would permit. The names follow: MIDDLETON IN THE CIVIL. WAR. John Waldron, Drake S. Durbon, Daniel Burrows, John Hanson, James Stevens, John F.

FACTS OF INTEREST The town of Middleton is in fortunate possession of a library of appropriate and useful books. This library at the opening of the year 1908, numbered 1,362 volumes and has been a source of much pleasure and profit to the citizens of the town. The trustees of the library are as follows: Jas. D. Moore, Mrs. M. H. Davisand F. A. Orne. Mrs. M. H.Davisis Librarian. The town votes an annual appropriation of $25 for the purchase of new books. MIDDLETON TRAINING FIELD. In the early part of 1800, one of the most familiar spots in this region was the old training field, or "muster field" which was large enough to accommodate about 2,000 people. It was equipped with all the utensils of war and included in the supply was one small brass cannon. The scenes presented here in the famous old muster days were inspiring to the hardy folks of this region, and the associa- tions that cling around the event are not entirely forgotten to this day. The cannon sometime before the Civil War was carried to Alton and from there was demanded by the national HISTORICAL 261 government, but was hidden in a forest to prevent the government's securing its property. The attempt has been to date unsuccessful. OFFICERS OF MIDDLETON OLD HOME DAY, DURING THE YEARS 1906-1907. President, Meander H. Davis; First Vice President, Chas.

When Brookfield was first set off from Middleton, the town was without any Town House in which to hold their town meetings and it was customary to call the same at the house of some inhabitant of the town. In the year 1815 the meeting was called at the house of Daniel Wiggin, with the following result: After the meeting was organized and they had proceeded for a while the chamber in which the meeting was assembled broke down and the voters all fell with it. No lives lost nor any one badly hurt. The voters went out into the road and carried on the meeting. FREE BAPTIST CHURCH MIDDLETON. Religious services were held at Middleton many years previous to the organization of 1827, at which time, by the request of a number of brethren and sisters living in the vicinity, wishing to associate themselves together as a church of Christ, Elders John H. Nutter, Simeon Swett, and Joseph Banfield, met with them March 3, 1827, at the home of Jonathan Howes in Milton, for the purpose of acknowl- edging them as such. The first settled minister was Rev. Nehemiah Ordway, (Orthodox), his successor was Rev. John Buzzell, a Freewill Baptist, who later established a society. Members of the Society with Rev. John Buzzell preacher 266 MIDDLETON and BROOKFIELD in charge: Joseph Goodwin, John N. Frost, Daniel Goodwin, Enoch York, Bethuel Ellis, Joseph Brooks, Elijah Curtis, Anna Goodwin, Eliza Rines, Mahitable Clark, Martha Frost, Betsy Curtis, Purliney Brooks, Betsy Ellis, Belinda Treph- ren, Abigail Watson, Mary Goodwin. The first clerk chosen was Enoch York. March 3, 1827. This church was later received into fellowship with the New Hampshire conference. The old meeting house which 104 years ago stood near the Enoch York larm was moved by Squire Wingate to what is now called Middleton Corner, upon a part of the six acre lot which was set apart for the support and main- tenance of the Gospel ministry. Latter ministers of Middleton were Revs. William Buz- zell, Elder Butler, Simeon Swett, J. H. Nutter, Joseph Boody, Joseph Banfield, John York, John Swett, Luther Penney, Geo. York, Joseph Brooks, William Blaisdell, John Flanders, Timothy Cole, Elder Furnell, Seth Sawyer being the last settled minister in Middleton. Since that religious services have been held regularly by different preachers. This Free Baptist church, the most historic building in the town, is occupied also by the Old Home Week Associa- tion, the place of meeting being on the second floor. This is a historic place and was erected more than a century ago, is in the center known as the Four Corners, and around it is the Town Common, several acres in area. The seating ca- pacity will not accommodate more than a quarter of the people, while the addresses and musical exercises took place in the church, the banquet was held in the Town Hall on HISTORICAL 267 first floor. This Landscape Hall, painted in 1842 by John A very of Farmington, is famous throughout the Granite State as the Landscape Church. The landscape was painted to rep- resent large shade trees on a plat of ground, which extends around the four walls. This is the only house of worship in town, and during 112 years it has been used as a meeting house, and attended by the ancestors of the present generations. Because of that fact and the other associations it is held dear to the heart of every native, and all denominations meet here for divine worship. Formerly there was a club that met here yearly in Sep- tember, spending several days in town, going over their old haunts and bringing it to a close with a dinner. The members of the present Association declare that it was through the annual gathering at Middleton that the Old Home Week idea was first agitated. THE ORIGINATORS OF MIDDLETON REUNION.
