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

ment is on the map.

largest. His specialties are rock working machinery, and of these he has

RUTLAND COUNTY.
I^^HE State of Vermont was originally divided into but two counties, the
*^° Green Mountains, from which Vermont derives its name through the
fj? French Verd Mont, being the dividing hne. The portion on the west was
called "Bennington," and that on the east "Cumberland" County. On Feb.
13, 1 781, by an act of the General Assembly, Bennington County was cir-
cumscribed to its present Hmits, while the portion to the northward was
formed into Rutland County. By the formation of Addison County, in
1787, Rutland County was brought to its present limits, with the exception
of Orwell, which was set off to Addison County, Nov. 13, 1847.
Tinmouth was selected as the county seat, and remained so until 1784,
when it was removed to Rutland. The bar-room of the hotel, built of
logs, was used as a court house. The first chief justice of the county
was Hon. Increase Moseley, of Castleton, a native of Connecticut,
and a graduate of Yale College. The Supreme Court commences its
session at Rutland on the ist Tuesday after the 4th Tuesday of Janu-
ary, and the County Court on the 2d Tuesdays in April and Septem-
ber. The United States Circuit Court sits here annually on the 3d, and the
District Court on the 6th day of October.
The county is divided into two Probate Districts, Fairhaven and Rutland.
The Fairhaven District is composed of the towns of Fairhaven, Pawlet,
Wells, Poultney, Westhaven, Castleton, Benson, Hubbardton and Sudbury,
while the residue of the county is included within the Rutland District. The
county sends four Senators, and each town a Representative annually to the
General Assembly.
The county lies in the western part of the State, between 43° 18' and 43°
54' north latitude, and between 3^ 41' and 4° 19' longitude east from Wash-
ington. It is bounded north by Addison County, east by Windsor, south by
Bennington, and west by Washington County, N.Y., and contains twenty-five
towns : — Benson, Brandon, Castleton, Chittenden, Clarendon, Danby, Fair-
haven, Hubbardton, Ira, Mendon, Middletown, Mount Holly, Mount Tabor,
Pawlet, Pittsfield, Pittsford, Poultney, Rutland, Sherburne, Shrewsbury, Sud-
bury, Tinmouth, Wallingford, Wells and Westhaven.
The county is centrally distant from Montpelier, the State Capital, about
fifty-five miles, is forty-two miles long from north to south, and thirty-four

wide from east to west, and contains 958 square miles of territory. The
physical features are diversified by lofty peaks of the Taconic and Green
Mountain ranges, the former cut by broad fertile valleys. The mean tem-
perature of the climate is about 43°, while the rainfall averages about 40 to
43 inches a year. All the mountains east of Otter Creek belong to the
Green Mountain range, while those to the west of it belong to the Taconic
range, which extends from Massachusetts through Bennington County as far
north as Brandon, in Rutland County. Along Otter Creek and in the south-
western part of the county, the surface is level and handsome, and the soil of
the first quality. The remaining parts are hilly and broken, but the soil is
warm and well adapted to the production of grass and grain, and it is owing
to this that Rutland County is so noted as a wool-growing county. The
highest point is Killington Peak, one of the Green Mountain range, so named
from the town of Killington, now Sherburne ; it is situated in the towns of
Mendon and Sherburne, and about ten miles east from Rutland village. Its
height, according to the admeasurement of the signal service corps, in 1879,
is 4,380 feet. Pico Peak, in Sherburne and Mendon ; Shrewsbury Peak,
in Mendon and Shrewsbury ; White Rocks, in Wallingford ; Mount Tabor,
in Mount Tabor, are also elevated peaks in the Green Mountain system.
Several peaks in the Taconic range rise to the height of three thousand
feet or more, and, in consequence of the decomposition of the limestone
which often enters largely into the composition of the rock of the mountains,
the tops and sides are often clothed with a verdure rarely if ever seen on the
western slope of the Green Mountains, where siHcious rocks prevail to a great
extent. The principal peaks are Bird and Herrick mountains, in Ira, Moose
Horn mountain, in Wells, and Danby mountain, in Danby. The timber of
the county is principally spruce, hemlock, beech, birch and maple, with some
pine, basswood, poplar and oak.
The country is well watered by numerous streams that have their sources in
the several mountain tops. Otter Creek, the principal one, flows through the
county from south to north. Black, White and Quechee rivers all originate
in the eastern part, and flow easterly into Connecticut River. Pawlet River
runs across the south-west corner, and Poultney, Castleton and Hubbardton
Rivers water the western part.
Numerous lakes and ponds are located in the several towns, of which Lake
St. Catharine or Lake Austin, in Wells and Poultney, and Lake Bomoseen,
in Castleton and Hubbardton, are the largest. The latter is a handsome,
deep sheet of water about eight miles long by two and one-half in width.
The lakes are much resorted to by pleasure parties.
gp:ological.
The rocks of the county are the Cakiferous sand rock, which enters the State
from New York, in the town of Westhaven, passing northward through the
western portion of that town and Benson, into Addison County. This rock
RUTLAND COUNTV. 35
forms the transition from pure sandstone to pure limestone, and therefore par-
takes of the character of each. The width of the belt varies from a few
rods to three miles, and its thickness from two to eighty feet. Adjacent to,
and parallel with this rock, extends a narrow range of Trenton limestone
which contains a great many beautiful fossils. This range, according to
Prof. Adams, is about four hundred feet in thickness.
The Hudsoti River slates enter the county at Westhaven, and extend north
through Benson into Addison County. The range has a mean width of about
five miles. In the south-eastern part of Benson, and eastern part of West-
haven, it is cut by a ledge of Hudson River limesto7ie about a mile-and-a-half
in width, and eight to ten miles long. This slate, though not as valuable a
range as the Georgia slate, is still of great value. A number of quarries are
worked for roofing-slate. The operation of splitting the slate to the required
thickness for roofing is a difficult one and requires much practice and
patience ; it is generally performed by Welshmen, who take the blocks of
slate rock and at a glance perceive the direction of its " cleve" or " rift," and
commence work upon it by splitting through the middle of the block and con-
tinue to subdivide each block till sheets of slate thin enough for roofing are
produced.
A narrow belt of Talcoid schist enters the county at Fairhaven, and extends in
a northerly direction through the south-eastern corner of Benson, into Hub-
bardton. Another range of this rock, about five miles in width, enters at the
southern extremity of the county, in the towns of PawletandDanby, and extends
north through Middletown, Ira, Rutland and Castleton, into Hubbardton.
Talcoid schist is a stratified rock of a greenish color, having a smooth lamina
of a pearly luster, and, when reduced to powder, is unctuous to the touch. To
this formation of rock, according to Prof. Hager, all the gold found in Ver-
mont is confined.
There is a pecuHar kind of conglomerate associated with this rock, found
only in Rutland County. It consists of transparent quartz pebbles in a tal-
cose paste. It is abundant in Ira, Middletown, Wells and Pawlet. Upon
Bird Mountain, in Ira, it constitutes the mass of the rock. The pebbles are
usually about the size of kernels of corn.
There is an immense bed of hmestone in schists, lying partly in Ira, but
mostly in West Rutland. It is very dark blue, nearly black. There is also
another large bed in Pawlet, and some small beds in talcoid schists of Cas-
tleton and Hubbardton. The average thickness of the talcoid schists is
over two thousand feet.
The Georgia slate is a very abundant rock, entering the State in Pawlet
and extending northward in a belt from five to eight miles in width, passing
through the towns of Pawlet, Wells, Poultney, Fairhaven and Hubbardton,
where it gradually becomes narrower, through Sudbury, and finally ends in
Addison County. The finest roofing slates of the Georgia slate deposit, in
Vermont, are found in Rutland County. The excellent character of the
36 RUTLAND COUNTY.
slate for economical purposes is too well known to demand repetition here.
It has various colors, such as greenish, reddish brown, what is generally called
"slate color," chocolate, mottled, bright red, and bluish gray. There are numer-
ous shades of all these colors, as well as innumerable intermediate varieties.
Some of the varieties are so soft as to be used for slate pencils, and can be
cut into every conceivable shape. Many of the layers are compacted together,
and, being destitute of cleaverage planes, appear like a thick, homogeneous
mass of argillaceous rock. More will be said of the quarries, etc., of this
range in connection with the several towns.
Entering the county at Danby, and extending northward through the towns
of Tinmouth, Clarendon, Rutland, Pittsford and Brandon, is a range of rocks,
varying from one to five miles in width, that has made the name of " Rut-
land " familiar in nearly all parts of the world. It is a range of the famous
Eolian limestone, or Marble. Marble is a name appropriately applied to
those varieties of carbonate of lime, or lime and magnesia, that can be quar-
ried in large blocks, destitute of fissures, and sufficiently compact and uniform
in structure to receive a good polish. The variety of marble that has been
most extensively worked in Vermont is the white granular variety. In color
and structure it closely resembles the Italian Carara marble, the quarries of
which were opened in the days of JuUus C^sar, and since then have become
celebrated for the great amount of marble taken therefrom and the valuable
blocks that they have contributed for statuary purposes. Of the marble
quarries, etc., more will be spoken anon.
Within this range, extending through the towns of Danby, WaUingford,
Clarendon and Rutland, are narrow beds of Quartz rock and Talcoid schists.
Next to the Eolian range, and extending through the whole length of the
county, is a Pliocene tertiary deposit of narrow limits. At Pittsford, a
branch shoots off into Chittenden. In this deposit are found ores of Man-
ganese, brown coal, ocher, and hematite ores.
The most abundant of the rocks, is the Green Mountain gneiss, which
enters the county from the south, and is deposited in Mount Tabor, Wal-
hngford, Mount Holly, Shrewsbury, Sherburne, Mendon and Chittenden.
Most of the gneiss is concealed by drift, the only ledges being found at South
Chittenden, and along the border of the formation north of this village.
The greater part of Chittenden is made up of this range, where in the east-
ern part, it forms very high mountains.
Granite is composed of the same material as gneiss, the composition of
gneiss varying from it only, in having a distinctly stratified, slaty or laminated
structure. For this reason, many suppose the Green Mountains are com-
posed of granite ; but this idea is erroneous, for but very Httle granite is
found in the entire range. There are some streaks found in the gneiss of
this county, but not enough for remunerative working.
Iron Ore. — Iron, which contributes more to supply the varied wants of
man, and is made more serviceable than any other metal, is found abundantly
RUTLAND COUNTY. 37
disseminated in the crust of the earth and in a greater variety of combina-
tions than any other metal. Ores of iron are scattered with beneficient
profusion over every portion of the earth, and it not only forms an essential
ingredient in most of those substances that are compounded in the great
laboratory of nature, but it enters into the material organization of man, and
is essential to his existence. Many ores of iron are found in Rutland
County, of which the brown oxyd or hematite is the most abundant. This
ore is generally imbedded in, and has upon its surface a friable oxyd of iron,
known as yellow ocher, from which the solid and valuable ore is separated
by washing before it is smelted. The ocher is prepared and used largely as a
paint. Kaolin is also found, and generally resting upon or lying above the
beds of ocher. Beds of iron ore are found in Chittenden, Tinmouth, Wal-
lingford, Pittsfordand Brandon. The latter town contains the most iron, and
formerly contained the largest furnace in the State. Fire brick, paints and
paper clay (elutriated Kaolin,) are prepared and manufactured in large quanti-
ties here also.
Fossils of many varieties are found throughout the county, the finest of
which are found in the Trenton limestone of the northern part of the county.
In Mount Holly, 1,415 feet above the level of the ocean, the bones of a fossil
elephant were found in 1847. Other fossils are found in Chittenden, — the
bones of small animals such as are not now extinct.
Moraine terraces were formed when water covered the greater part of
Vermont. They are elevations of gravel and sand, with correspondent de-
pressions of most singular and scarcely describable forms.
The theory of the formation of Moraine terraces is, that icebergs became
stranded at the base and on the sides of hills, and that deposits were made
around and upon them, and they would have been level-topped if the ice had
remained; but in consequence of its melting, they are now extremely irregular.
Extraordinary accumulations of Moraine terraces occur upon the water-
shed of the Battenkill River and Otter Creek. Following down the creek,
Moraine terraces may be seen extending through the greater part of Danby,
and at North WaUingford. They are continuous from this village to
Clarendon. In the north-west part of Tinmouth, passing into Clarendon,
may be seen other examples of Moraine terraces. They are particularly
abundant in the east part of Rutland, near the Hne of Mendon, most of the
length of the town, lying at the foot of the great range of quartz rock. Be-
tween Pittsford Furnace and North Chittenden, upon the north-west side of
Furnace River, is one of the finest examples of Moraine terraces in the State.
Near the village of Pittsford, and continuing north to Forestdale, in Bran-
don, along the west slope of the Green Mountains, are found evidences of an
ancient sea beach from six hundred to eight hundred feet above the present
level of the sea.

consolidated materials that have been worn from the older rocks at whatever

period, and brought into their present state since the tertiary period. These
materials, by whatever agencies first torn oft" from the soHd ledges, have been
more or less sorted and deposited by water in layers or strata, generally
horizontal. The size of the fragments varies from that of enormous blocks,
weighing thousands of tons, down to the impalpable powder of the finest
mud. The power of water in the frozen state — as glaciers, icebergs and
icefloes — is very great ; but still greater when it exerts its expansive force in
freezing. Gunpowder hardly equals it; and probably a large part of the
loose materials scattered over the surface as bowlders, are first loosened from
the ledges by the freezing of water in the crevices of the rocks. Even
though they get only an infinitesimal start the first year, each subsequent year
— because the crevices are widening — will witness an increase of the work.
The drainage of the land, also, by rivers, accomplished again and again, by
the vertical movement, has worn out gorges and valleys of great depth,
and the work has not yet ceased, as may be seen in the remarkable change
effected in the Poultney River, three miles north-west of the village of Fair-
haven, during a freshet in 1783. The river had previously run through a
rocky gorge over a fall, because probably its old bed on a previous continent
had been filled with sand. But having been diverted back again by the
freshet, into the sand, it soon cleared out its channel and left the falls dry.
About two miles north of Cuttingsville is an old river-bed now occupied by
the railroad, in Shrewsbury, near the west fine. The length of the old bed
is about three-quarters of a mile. The river now runs through a deep gorge
in slaty rock, seventy-five feet deep in some places. Terraces abound at the
side of the gorge near where the old bed is situated. On Mill Brook, a
branch of Otter Creek, a httle east of the Bennington and Rutland Railway,
in Clarendon, the stream has cut a gorge through the rock eighty-five feet
deep, and three old beds can be traced.
Thus the face of the earth is constantly changing, and the change will
continue, as it has in the past, through countless ages.
STAPLE PRODUCTIONS.
The staple productions of the county, are corn, rye, buckwheat, potatoes,
butter, cheese, hay, maple sugar, and products of the orchard and garden.
Considerable attention is also paid to dairying and wool-growing. Accord-
ing to the U. S. census of 1870, the county contained 301,499 acres of
improved land, producing 23,192 bushels of wheat, 7,939 bushels of rye,
180,780 bushels of Indian corn, 246,092 bushels of oats, 3,462 bushels of
barley, 22,127 bushels of buckwheat and 617,094 bushels of potatoes. It
had $2,314,499.00 worth of live stock, consisting of 19,594 milch cows, 5,623
horses, 4,566 swine, 1,227 oxen and 83,870 sheep.
From the milk of the cows was manufactured 119,645 lbs. of butter, and
1,369,844 lbs. of cheese. The sheep yielded 425,216 lbs. of wool, or about
five and one-half pounds to the ileece.

INTRODUCTION AND PROGRESS OF SPANISH MERINO SHEEP
BREEDING IN RUTLAND COUNTY.
The famous Merino Sheep, the breeding of which Vermont is so justly
celebrated, is brought to as fine a state of perfection in Rutland County, and
it produces as fine specimens, as any district in the world.
The Merino is the most important breed of sheep as regards the texture of
the wool. The breed in modern times was brought to great perfection in
Spain, though their originals probably formed the flocks of the patriarchs

thousands of years ago and have been the stock of all the fine-wooled sheep.
They have wool growing on their foreheads and cheeks ; the horns are very
large and heavy, and convulated laterally; the wool is fine, long, soft and
twisted in silky spiral ringlets, and naturally so oily that the fleece looks
dingy and unclean from the dust and dirt adhering to the outside ; the
form is not so symmetrical as in many English breeds, and there is generally
a loose skin hanging from the neck and other })arts of the body.
Both Spanish and French Merinos have been introduced into the United
States, the former by Hon. David Humphreys, Minister to the Court of
Madrid, in 1802, and the latter by Mr. Taintor, of Hartford, Conn., in 1846;
40 RUTLAND COUNTY.
it is said that three Spanish Merinos were brought to Boston in 1793, by
William Foster, but they were not preserved for breeding purposes. In
Rutland County the breeding of Merino sheep has been brought to such a
state of perfection, that it may indeed be called without exaggeration, a
"science." First, and foremost among the old masters in this line, should
be mentioned, Mr. Dyer Townsend of Wallingford, the oldest sheep breeder
in the State, and a man who in the early history of the breeding of Merino
sheep in Rutland County, in 1827, purchased thirteen Merinos brought from
Connecticut by Mr. Frederick Button.
For a long term of years Mr. Townsend was said to have the best Merino
sheep in the State. Rutland County sheep breeders are justly proud of his
record. Mr. Townsend is to-day a hale, hearty man, 94 years of age, having
never seen a day's sickness, never had the headache and "cannot remember
when he has missed a meal." A man possessed of the highest moral char-
acter, and never having allowed himself the use of intoxicating liquors, he
stands to-day a living monument in favor of the cause of temperance. He
still superintends a large farm, attends to banking, and much other business,
but at the same time does not forget his early love for fine Merinos. He
still retains a small flock of the same blood he has so long bred, and standing
at the head of this flock is a fine ram, sired by " Poney " whose picture heads
this article.
Mr. Alfred Hull, also of Wallingford, bought of Mr. Atwood, of Connecti-
cut, in 1 849, a few sheep which he bred in comi)any with Col. N. T. Sprague,
of Brandon, a former president of the Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders' As-
sociation.
In 1827, Deacon Frederick Button, of Clarendon, bought of Stephen At-
wood, of Connecticut, two lots of Merinos, from which he bred a flock, after-
wards breeding in blood from the flocks of Consul Jarvis. At the time Mr.
Button made one of these purchases, he was accompanied by Mr. David P.
Holden, of Wallingford, who also purchased a few. " These are the first
Atwood sheep brought into Vermont," says Mr. Albert Chapman, editor of
The Vermont Merino Sheep Register.
The father of Edward Hinds, of Brandon, also bred one of the leading
flocks in Vermont, of Atwood blood, and Edward has a flock of the same
blood.
Mr. J. S. Benedict, of Castleton, also one of the old-time breeders, has one
of the prime flocks of the State, his breed being largely tinctured with blood
of the " Rich " flock, bred by V. Rich, in Addison County, and one of the
most valuable breeds in the State.
During the late civil war, the flock owned and bred by Mr. Milton Barber,
of Hubbardton, was one of the best in the State, but is now scattered.
Hon. Bradley Fish, of Ira, has a flock of long standing and is a very suc-
cessful breeder.
Many flocks of considerable importance have been scattered abroad, which
RUTLAND COUNTY, 4!
pur space will not allow mention of. We can speak of only a few of the
most important.
The flock owned by the late Capt. Joseph Sheldon, of Fairhaven, was one
of the finest showing flocks in the State. Another fine flock was the old
"Mead" flock of Jarvis sheep, purchased by Esquire Abner Mead, and bred
a long time by him, and afterwards by his son, Andrew Jackson Mead. In
the early days, Mr. Mead would drive a lot of fine cattle over to Weathersfield,
Vt., the home of Consul Jarvis, which he would there exchange for a few
small Merino sheep, bringing them over the Green Mountains in a lumber
wagon. Since this time the Mead farm, at West Rutland, has always been
noted for its sheep breeding. The Merinos early imported from Spain by
Consul' Jarvis, would only shear ewes, from three to four pounds, and rams,
from four to seven pounds, the fleeces shrinking, by cleansing, from one-third
to one-half their weight. After a time, from this stock, Abner Mead bred a
ram which became quite noted, and was widely known as " Old Tiger," and
which sheared a fleece of seven pounds weight.
There is now on the Mead farm a flock that has descended, after sixteen
years careful care and attention, from one ewe bred by Mr. V. Rich, of Shore-
ham, Vt. These sheep are called by their present owner, Mr. John H. Mead,
the " Stub's family " of Rich sheep, from the fact of the grand dam being
called " Old Stubs." Two ram tegs from this flock were publicly shorn, May
3, 1 88 1, which sheared respectively, 17 pounds 6 ounces, and 17 pounds 8
ounces, and at the same time two ewe tegs which cut 15 pounds 10 ounces,
and 16 pounds 14 ounces.
Some of the best Merino rams shear over 30 pounds, cleansing nearly 10
pounds. The famous " Peck " ram, that sired the ewes exhibited by Hon.
Geo. Campbell, of Westminster, Vt.,at the World's Fair in Europe, and which
took the first prize, was bought by Col. N. T. Sprague, of Brandon, and left
stock that made its mark in Rutland county. One of its descendants was
the famous ram "Green Mountain," owned by Mr. Elijah Smith, of West Rut-
land. Green Mountain gained a great name as a stock animal, and was a
source of great profit to his worthy owner.
The following, very fully illustrates what has been done towards increasing
the value of the Merino sheep : Where the original Spanish Merino had
but about 1,500 wool hairs to the square inch, by careful breeding, the growth
has been increased to nearly 6,000 in the same space.
Some of the most prominent breeders of Rutland County that have not
already been mentioned are, F. & J. Q. Smith, Samuel Boardman & Son,
J. Cook, R. C. Mead and Leonard F. B. Gorham, of West Rutland; Harry
Collins, Lester Fish, Leonard Fish, C. Lincoln, and Henry, Lyman W. and

RUTLAND COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The Rutland County Agricultural Society was organized, and held its first
Fair in 1846, at Castleton. Its first principal officers were, William L. Farn-
ham, of Poultney, president ; Orel Cook, of Rutland, secretary, and Hon.
Zimri Howe, of Castleton, treasurer.
For many years the annual Fairs were held, alternately, at Rutland and
Castleton. One year, 1852, the annual exhibition was held at Poultney, and
is the only exception of its being held at other than the places named. In
i860, the annual exhibitions were permanently located at Rutland. Some
forty acres of land were purchased, situated about a mile south of the village,
and buildings, sheds and race track erected, and the annual Fairs have since
been held thereon, the Vermont State Fair being held upon the grounds nine
years.
The Society has had its days of prosperity and adversity — " fair weather
and foul," but is now in a flourishing condition, with $600.00 in its treasury.
The following is a list of the executive officers from the organization : —

MANUFACTURES.
Of the manufacturing interests, that of marble and slate, in their various
branches, are the most important. Much capital is also employed in the man-
ufacture of various kinds of machinery, scales, buttons, soap, paint, paper-
stock, etc., etc. In some of the towns, lumbering, with its various pro-
ducts is most important. According to the U. S. census of 1870, the county
had 377 manufacturing estabhshments, operated by 32 steam engines and
199 water-wheels, giving employment to 2,145 niales and 84 females; there
being a capital of $3,190,855.00 invested in manufactures. However,
statistics from the census of 1880, when tabulated and given to the public,
will show a large increase in these figures. In connection with the history of
the various townships, the manufactures will be spoken of in detail.

COUNTY BUILDINGS.
As previously stated, Court was held at Tinmouth, from 1781 to 1784,
when it was removed to Rutland.
The Court House, for eight years, from 1784 to 1792, was the old gambrel-
roofed building, still standing, next west of the Advent Chapel, on West street,
in this village.
Externally, it was then substantially as now. It had only two rooms, one
with a floor, and the other none. The west one was the court-room, having
a floor and seats on the north side, a Httle elevated, for the judges, and
benches for the jurors, witnesses and spectators. The east room had no
floor, and answered all the other purposes of a court house, grand and petit
jury-room, &c. The jail was built of logs and stood a few yards to the
north-west of the court house.
Humble as this old building may appear to our modern eyes, there yet
hovers about it a wealth of historical interest that well may fill us with feelings
of veneration. It was here that the first United States District Court ever
held in Vermont had its session, on the first Monday in May, 1791, with
Nathaniel Chipman as Judge, and Frederick Hill as Clerk. The State Leg-
islature met here in October, 1784 and 1786, and it was under the brief
control of the anti-court mob, in November, 1786. Each board and timber
of the venerable structure, were they endowed with speech, would doubtless
rehearse to us many tales of joy and sorrow, strangely mingling the tragic
with the comic in their narrative of those who have long since "gone before."
In the year 1792, a more pretentious court house was built on Main street,
just above the old FrankHn House ; the funds for its completion being furnished
by voluntary contribution. It was built of wood, framed and clapboarded,
facing towards the north. During the first session of the Legislature therein,
there was passed, October, 25, 1792, "An act for the purpose of raising by
lottery, the sum of one hundred and sixty pounds lawful money, for the pur-
pose of defraying the expense of building the new Court House in
Rutland."
The building remained wholly of wood until the year 1828, when George
W. Daniels, as contractor, bricked up the outside eight inches thick, sub-
letting the wood work to W. W. Bailey, the expense being paid by the
citizens. An extension of twenty feet was put on the building in 1844,
under the supervision of Zimri Howe of Castleton, as first County Judge.
For over seventy-five years outraged law was avenged, and justice meted out
from this building, until the great fire of early morning, April 3, 1868, when
it was destroyed. The Court was in session at the time of the fire, and for
the remainder of that term was held at the rooms of Judge Prout, the pre-
siding Judge ; one term it was held in the Christian Association rooms, and
two in the Town Hall, after which, until the partial completion of the new
Court House, was held in the U. S. Court Room.
44 RUTLAND COUNTY.
The new Court House was commenced the year following the fire, 1869,
and first occui)ied in March 1871, $72,000.00 having been expended in its
construction uj) to present date. It is a fine building, situated on the corner
of Court and Centre streets, built of pressed brick, all but the steps, trim-
mings and foundation walls, which are of Chester granite. The first floor of
the building contains the offices of the County Clerk, Judge of Probate, and
Sheriff. On the second floor is the Court Room and office of the presiding
Judge. The basement was originally intended to be occupied by cells for
criminals awaiting trial, but has not been completed, and probably never
will, for the reason that a portion of the House of Correction has been set
off as a jail for Rutland County.
THE POOR.
The poor of the County are supported by the towns where the applicants
reside, and it is to the credit of some of the towns that the office of Overseer
of the Poor is almost that of a sinecure.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The railroad between Rutland and Bennington was built under an act of
the Legislature, passed November 5, 1845, incorporating the Western Ver-
mont Railroad Company.
The Company was duly organized, and the first Board of Directors, elected
Feb. 28th, 1850, were Myron Clarke, President; Aaron R. Vail, Vice-
President ; Robert Pierpoint, Robinson Hall, Ira Cochran, Martin C. Dem-
ing, Asahel Hurd, Lemuel Bottum, Alanson P. Lyman. Seneca Smith was
chosen Clerk, The road was put into operation in 1852.
The title of the original stockholders having been extinguished by the
foreclosure of the first mortgage, January i, 1857, the road passed into the
possession of Shepherd Knapp and George Briggs, Trustees, who leased it
to the Troy & Boston Railroad Company, by which it was run until January
16, 1867, Meantime, July 28, 1865, the bondholders organized a new cor-
poration, called the Bennington & Rutland Railroad Company, of which the
first Board of Directors were Trevor W. Park, President ; Hiland Hall,
Alanson P. Lyman, Chas. E. Houghton, M. Carter Hall, Chas. G. Lincoln,
Treasurer; Nathaniel B. Hall, Hugh Henry Baxter, Geo. W. Harmon,
Clerk.
Subsequently, on the 8th day of August, 1877, a new corporation, called the
Bennington & Rntland Railway Company, was organized with the following
named directors : — Abraham B. Gardner, President ; Augustus Schell, Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt, Benjamin R. Sears and Trenor W. Park. George W.
Harman was chosen Clerk, and C. E. Houghton, Treasurer.
The road is now run by that company, and the following are its officers : — ■
Trenor W. Park, President ; John G. McCullough, Vice-President; Geo. W.
RUTLAND COUNTY. 45
Harman, Clerk; Chas. E. Houghton, Treasurer; and Abraham B. Gardner,
Directors.
The Rutland and Washing/on Railroad Company was organized under an
Act approved by the Legislature November 13, 1847. The first meeting was
held at West Poultney, on the 23d of February, 1848, at which the following
Board of Directors were chosen : — Merritt Clark, Marcus G. Langdon, Henry
Stanley, Isaac W. Thompson, Horace Clark, Edgar L. Ormsbee and Milton
Brown. Merritt Clark was subsequently elected President, and Horace
Clark, his brother, Treasurer and Superintendent. The Board of Directors
continued nearly the same for two years, when the road was opened through
to Salem, forming a continuous line from Rutland to Troy, N. Y, Four years
from the day of organization, Horace Clark, a pioneer and master-spirit in
projecting and completing the road, died, on the 25th of February, 1852 ; the
day appointed for celebrating its opening, witnessed his funeral rites and
burial. The road cost about one million of dollars, and did not at first prove
a financial success.
Jay Gould became Superintendent of the road January i, 1864, having his
headquarters for the first two years at Rutland, boarding at the Bardwell
House. In July of 1876 he negotiated the sale of the road to the D. & H.
C. Co., by which it is still owned and operated, doing a prosperous business.
The Champlain and Connecticut River Railroad was incorporated Novem-
ber I, 1843. The first meeting of stockholders was held at Rutland, May 6,
1845, with Timothy Follett of Burlington, chairman, and Ambrose L. Brown
of Rutland, clerk. Voted to open subscriptions for stock, June 10, 1845.
June 12, 1845, more than 2,000 shares having been subscribed to the capi-
tal stock, stockholders were notified to meet at the court house in Rutland
for choice of nine directors, which were chosen as follows : — Timothy Follett,
Samuel Barker, Ira Stewart, Charles Linsley, John A. Conant, Chester Gran-
ger, George T. Hodges, William Henry, and Henry N. FuUerton. Subse-
quently, January 14, 1846, the following were chosen directors in place of the
old board : — Timothy Follett, Samuel P. Strong, William Nash, Charles Lins-
ley, John A. Conant, Chester Granger, George T. Hodges, Nathaniel Fuller-
ton, William Henry, John Elliott, Horace Gray, Samuel Dana, and Samuel
Henshaw, with Timothy Follett, president.
The first blow towards its construction was struck during the month of
February, 1847, in the town of Rockingham, near Bellows Falls. Two years
and nine months sufficed to complete the road, and it was opened through,
December 18, 1849.
The name of the road was changed to the Rutland &= Burlington Railroad
Company by an Act of the Legislature, November 6, 1847. It was subse-
quently changed to the Rutland Railroad Company, Hon. John B. Page be-
ing now president, and Joel M. Haven, treasurer. I'hus, through
various changes and vicissitudes, litigations and bankruptcy, the whole line,
its buildings, etc., on the ist day of January, 187 1, was leased for a period of
46 RUTLAND COUNTY.
twenty years to the Vermont Central Railroad Company, since which time,
and under the new organization of the Central Vermont Railroad Company,
it has rapidly grown in prosperity.
The Rutland and Whitehall Railroad, from Castleton to Whitehall, N, Y.,
twenty-four miles in length, was organized under an Act approved by the Legis-
lature, November 13, 1847, and the road completed in 1850. Soon after its
completion, it was leased to the Renssalaer and Saratoga R. R. Co., who
operated it until 1866, when it was leased to Jay Gould. On July ist of the
same year, Mr. Gould gave a perpetual lease of the road to the D. & H. C.
Co., by whom it is still operated.
A. W. and Pitt W. Hyde, William C. Kittridge and Alanson Albee were
the chief promoters of the enterprise. The first officers were, A, W. Hyde of
Castleton, President; Alanson Albee of Fairhaven, Vice-President; P. W.
Hyde, Clerk ; and W. C. Kittridge of Fairhaven, Treasurer. These, with W.
W. Cooley, now president of the corporation, constituted the first Board of
Directors.
NEWSPAPERS.
Six weekly papers are pubUshed in the county, with one daily, and one is-
sued monthly,
Rutland. —The first paper ever published in the county was The Herald
of Vermont or Rutland Courier; a weekly, edited and published by Anthony
Haswell. The first copy was issued June 18, 1792, and contained the follow-
ing motto which clearly proclaims the character of the paper:
"Let Seutiment flow Free aud Candour guide,
We Own no Party, aud Espouse no Side."
This paper was only continued a few months, when the printing office was
destroyed by fire, either Sunday, September i6th or 23d, 1792. This put a
stop to the publication of the sheet, and it was never again resumed, although
the Legislature at Rutland on the 31st of October following, "passed an act
granting a Lottery to A. Haswell, to raise ^200 to repair the damages sus-
tained by him on account of the destruction of his printing office by fire."
In 1793, James Lyon commenced the publication of the ''Farmer's Libra-
ry or Ver7no7it Political and Historical Register." The first copy was issued
April ist, and the publication continued until November 29th, 1794, when the
concern was purchased by Judge Samuel WiUiams and Rev. Samuel Williams,
LL. D., and on the 8th day of December, 1794, the first number of the RUT-
LAND HERALD was issued by them under the name oi'' The Rutland Herald
or Vermont Mercury T In the first number the proprietors say, "As we have
purchased of Mr. Lyon, editor of the Farmers Library, the Printing Office,
Apparatus, and Privileges annexed by Law to his paper, it will for the future
be carried on by the subscribers, with the above title, under the direction of
Dr. Williams. * * * * The price of the Herald will be nine shillings
per annum, to those to whom we send the paper ourselves ; seven shillings and
sixpence to those who call at the office and take them." On Monday, June
RUTLAND COUNTY. 47
29, 179s, the title was changed to ^'■The Rutland Herald^ a Register of the
Times'' During the different changes of proprietors it has met with several
slight variations in its title, but was always known as the Herald.
The paper was continued by the two Wilhams until the first part of the pres-
ent century, when it was taken by WiUiam Fay. In 1817, the firm was Fay
«& Davison, and later in the same year changed to Fay, Davison & Burt,
Davison afterwards becoming president of the Saratoga & Whitehall Railroad.
In 1 8 19 it was again changed to Fay & Burt. Burt remained in the firm
one year, when the business was again carried on by Fay alone, until the lat-
ter part of 1827. From this time forward the business changed hands quite
often, the changes occurring as follows: From the time Fay left it until 1830,
by E. C. Purdy ; 1831-32, E. Maxham; 1833, Maxham & Tuttle, and G. A.
Tuttle alone, from March 5th to April 12th; 1834-38, William Fay; (Fay
died in 1839.) 1839-42, White, Everson & Co., and H. F. White & Co.;
1843, White & Gurnsey, (Gurnsey inventing the well known printing press,
bearing this name;) 1844, H. T. White, and from April of that year until
1851, Geo. H. Beaman; 1851, George H. Beaman and G. A. Tuttle; 1852-
'54, George H. Beaman; 1855, and part of '56, C. H. Hayden, publisher,
and printed by G. A. Tuttle & Co., the latter then taking the business, which
they retained until 1862. September i, 1862, Tuttle & Gay; 1866, Tuttle,
Gay & Co., and later in the same year, Tuttle & Co.; February 10, 1872, A.
H. Tuttle; July 1, 1873, Tuttle & Redington ; February 16, 1874, A. H.
Tuttle. In 1875, S. B. Pettingill and W. P. Winslow joined Tuttle, under
the firm-name of the " Herald Association." Winslow died, and the paper
was conducted by the remaining partners, until September i, 1877, when the
Globe was consolidated with the Herald, and a new corporation, " The
Herald and Globe Association" was formed by the stockholders of both papers,
who now issue THE RUTLAND HERALD AND GLOBE, with x\Ir. A. H.
Tuttle as manager and principal proprietor.
The first daily was issued April 29, 186 1. It grew out of the exigencies
of the late war, being first started as an experiment, but has since become
one of the fixed institutions of Rutland. The HERALD, one of the oldest
papers in the U. S., under the present efiicient management, continues, as it
has in the past, to exert a wonderful influence over the minds of the people of
Vermont ; and to its credit, it may be said, its influence is ahuays for the good.

The Inquirer was subsequently purchased by Geo. E. Richardson, who
suspended its publication in 1881, for the purpose of starting a new paper,
to be known as the RUTLAND STANDARD, the initial number of which is
expected to be issued about September ist of this year. It is the intention of
the publisher to maintain in this paper an independent position in regard to
politics, and aim to make the interests of Rutland County its interests. Mr.
G. E. Richardson, its publisher and editor, has had considerable experience
in the newspaper business, having at one time been proprietor of the
Thomaston, (Me.) Herald and Printing House, in which capacity he acquired
a reputation for marked ability and sagacity, which cannot fail to be of great
value to him in his present undertaking.

RUTLAND COUNTY.
Fairhaven. — In 1793, Mathew Lyon has been said to have started the
Farmers' Library in this village. This statement is, however, probably in-
correct, as the first number of that paper is dated at Rutland, April i, 1793,
and published by his son James.
In 1794, Lyon commenced the Fairhaven G^^-s^/A', which was printed by
James Lyon, and by Judah P. Spooner during a part of its existence. It
was succeeded by the Farmers' Library or Fairhaven Telegraphy the first
number of which was issued July 28, 1795, by J. P. Spooner and W. Hen-
nessy. This was continued under the management of these gentlemen until
March, 1796, when Mr. Spooner took entire charge. The name of the paper
was again changed in November, 1797, to The Farmers Library, or Ver-
motit and New York Lutelligencer, and was continued until 1798.
[In 1796, '97 and '98, The ]^ermont Almanac and Register, ^\v'vc\g\\-\& dates
of the grants, and the ratable property of each town in the State, was pub-
lished by Mr. Spooner.]
On October i, 1798, The Scourge of Aristocracy and Repository 0/ Lm-
portant Political Truths, was commenced by James Lyon, and continued
one year, as a semi-monthly. It contained several articles from the pen of
Mathew Lyon, who was at that time imprisoned in Vergennes under the
" Alien and Sedition Act."
In 1854 and '55, a small monthly paper called The Banner was issued by
DeWitt Leonard.
In January, 1861, one number of a small sheet called the Golden Sheaf
was issued.
In September, 1863, the first number of the Fairhaven Advertiser was
issued as an advertising medium ; other numbers were issued from time to
time, until 1866, when the office was purchased by William Q. Brown and it
was made into a regular monthly pubHcation, and the name changed to The
Rutland County Advertiser, and continued until April, 1868.
On September 5, 1868, the first number of The People' s Journal ^^djs, issued
by Jones & Grose, with Rev. P. FrankUn Jones as editor. This paper was
continued until July, 1869, when it was purchased by DeWitt Leonard and
E. H. Phelps and the name changed to The Fairhaven Journal, with E. H.
Phelps, editor. It was finally discontinued in 1877.
On January i, 1879, The Vermont Era was commenced by the Inman
Brothers, who after three weeks sold out to Joseph E. Colton, and the name
was changed to
THE FAIRHAVEN ERA, and continued by him till September 15, 1879,
when it was again sold, to Frank W. Redfield who still publishes it.
Castleton. — The Vermont States >nan was commenced in 1824 by Ovid
Miner. Whig in politics. Mr. Miner was connected with it but a few years,
when he left Castleton. Under the management of different editors, retain-
ing essentially the same political cliaracter, the States?nan conimuedi till 1855.

In 1832, The Green Mountain Eagle was established under the excite-
ment of " Anti-Masonry." Judge Howe was the prime mover and principal
proprietor of the enterprise. Its existence terminated with the Anti-Masonic
party.
ABORIGINAL OCCUPANCY.
Though no direct or positive knowledge exists that the county was ever the
permanent home of any particular tribes of Indians, yet it is fair to presume
that some time in the remote past it was. It was long a disputed territory
among the various tribes of New England, New York and Canada, and used
as a hunting and camping ground during seasons of the year by all. It is cer-
tain that a large portion of the territory now included within the Hmits of the
county, was owned, or claimed by the Mohawk Indians of New York, and by
them deeded, or given to John Henry Lydias of that Province, the present
township of Rutland, having at one time been granted by him, under the name
of Fairfield, on the strength of their deed, although his grant was pronounced
illegal. More will be said on this subject in connection with the history of
the various towns.
WHEN FIRST SETTLED BY THE WHITES.
Just at what time the first settlement of the county was made, we cannot
state. About a century and a half ago, between Massachusetts and Canada
there was a brisk trade kept up, Massachusetts being able to sell goods at
Fort Dummer, cheaper than the French could sell them in Canada. Goods
were transported by the traders, across what is now the State of Vermont, to
Crown Point, and thence down the lake, into Canada, the Une of travel being
directly across the territory now included within the hmits of Rutland County.
Also, in King WiUiam's wars, soldiers passed from Massachusetts to the lake.
From the journal of one Coss, a trader, who made the journey from Massa-
chusetts to Crown Point in the Spring of 1730, we learn that he was greatly
impressed with the richness of the soil along Otter Creek. It is fair to pre-
sume that this fact may have also been observed by others, and induced them
to emigrate thither.
The trade between Massachusetts and Canada was finally swept away by
the breaking out of the French war in 1755, and which extended its opera-
tions from Canada to the adjoining colonies of New England, New York and
Pennsylvania, causing tracts of land to be traversed that had heretofore been
a dense, unexplored wilderness, the war being finally terminated by the
great battle fought on the plains of Abraham, near Quebec, September 13th,
1759, i"^ which the British arms were victorious, and the whole Province of
Canada surrendered to Great Britain. This event at once awakened atten-
tion to the territory of Vermont, to which the adjoining province had been
transformed from a hostile to a friendly neighbor.
54 RUTLAND COUNTY.
Many of the soldiers, doubtless, who had crossed Vermont on their way to
the war, and had become impressed with its beauty and richness, at once set-
tled within its limits. Most certain it is, at least, appHcations for towns were
now made in rapid succession to Benning Wentworth, the colonial governor
of New Hampshire, who was disposed to grant them on the most liberal
terms, so that the principal towns now included within the counties of
Bennington, Rutland and Addison, were chartered in 1761. In most of these
towns there was an interval, however, of several years between the time the
patents were granted and the commencement of settlement. In ten towns of
Rutland County whose charters were granted between the 26th of August
and the 20th of October, 1761, settlements were commenced at the following
periods: Pawlet, 1761 ; Danby, 1765; Clarendon, 1768; Rutland, Castleton
and Pittsford, 1769; Tinmouth, 1770; Poultney and Wells, 1771, and Bran-
don in 1772. These settlements, and those of the other towns of the county,
will be spoken of in connection with their respective histories.
LAND TITLE CONTROVERSY.
Under this head, it is our purpose to speak briefly of the trials that nerved
the "brave men of the mountains" to declare and maintain their independ-
ence, and to emerge as a free and independent State. The aristocratic
government of New York had little ken of the stern, democratic spirit,
possessed by their Green Mountain neighbors, or they never would have at-
tempted to wrest from them their humble homesteads.
Immigration was rapid and prosperity seemed to smile upon the inhabit-
ants, until the dark day of April 10, 1765, when a proclamation was
issued by Lieut. Gov. Colden, of New York, giving a copy of an order
of the King in Council of the 20th of July, preceding, declaring the boundary
hne between New Hampshire and New York to be the Connecticut River,
and notifying his Majesty's subjects to govern themselves accordingly.
That a twenty mile Hne from the Hudson, extending northerly to Lake
Champlain, was the eastern boundary of New York, is proven by the charter
title of the Duke of York upon his accession to the throne in 1685, making
New York a royal province. The disputed territory had been repeatedly
and uniformly recognized by the King's government as belonging to the
Province of New Hampshire, and never to that of New York.
The King, in 1741, commissioned Benning Wentworth, Governor of New
Hampshire, describing his province as reaching westward " until it met his
ether gcrcernments" thus bounding it westerly by New York. Gov. Went-
worth, with authority from the King to grant his lands, issued charters of
over one hundred townships, each of six miles square, within such territory.
Among these charters, nearly all the land in the present Rutland County
had been granted in sixteen different townships, viz : Brandon, (by the
name of Neshobe,) Castleton, (by the name of Harwich,) Pawlet, Pittsford,
RUTLAND COUNTY. 55
Poultney, Rutland, Sherburne, Shrewsbury, Sudbury, Tinmouth, WaHingford
and Wells.
The reasons for this change of jurisdiction were those of State policy, a
preference of the Crown for the aristocratic institutions of New York, to the
more democratic institutions of New England, and a desire to extend the
area of the former by curtailing the latter.
Upon the receipt of the King's order annexing the territory west of Con-
necticut River to New York, Lieutenant Governor Colden proceded at once
to grant the lands to others than the New Hampshire claimants, and when
the latter applied to the New York Governors for a confirmation of those
not thus granted, such enormous patent fees were demanded as to make it
impossible for them to comply. It was well known in New York that these
lands had long been granted by New Hampshire, and were actually occupied
under such grants, and the new patents were procured in utter disregard of the
rights and claims of the settlers. So all attempts to survey the new patents,
or to eject the present holders, were met with sturdy resistance on the part
of the settlers, and thus it came about that those who opposed the authority
of New York were stigmatized as "rioters," "conspirators," and "wanton
disturbers of the public peace," while the " Yorkers " were in turn called
" land jobbers," "land pirates," etc.
The dangers of the settlers from the patents already issued, as well as from
new grants, were imminent, and they resolved to apply directly to the
Crown for relief. Accordingly Samuel Robinson, of Bennington, as agent
for the several towns west of the Green Mountains, armed with petitions of
the people, setting forth their grievances, was sent to London to present them
to the King. This he did early in the year 1767, and was so successful as
to obtain an order from the King in Council, of July 24, 1767, forbidding the
granting of more land by New York, in the disputed territory, " //;//// his
Majesty s further pleasure." But while Mr. Robinson was yet asking for
relief from the grants which had already been made, his mission was un-
fortunately terminated by his sudden death from small pox.
That this order of the King's was merely a matter of form, is proven by
the fact that the New York Governors, notwithstanding " his Majesty's
pleasure," continued to' grant the lands within the disputed territory, making
such grants up to the period of the Revolution, having granted more than a
million acres in direct and palpable violation of such order.
The inhabitants of the several townships, as fast as they had become
sufficiently numerous, had organized themselves into municipal communities
in conformity to their charters, and had adopted rules and regulations for
their local government. The maintenance of the possession and title to
their lands against the New York claimants, soon became an absorbing in.
terest, and town committees were appointed, whose special duty it was to
attend to their defense and security. Few records of the proceedings of these
conventions remain, though sufficient accounts of them have been preserved
56 RUTLAND COUNTY.
to show that they exercised a general supervision over the affairs of the
settlers, and that their decrees in regard to their land title controversy, were
received and obeyed as laws. These several committees, towards the latter
part of the year 177 1, instituted a military organization, with Ethan Allen, of
Bennington County, as Colonel. The duties of these men were to watch
and detect in their several neighborhoods, any hostile movements of their
adversaries, and to hold themselves in readiness to repair to any part of the
territory to which the general convention or its executive committee should
require them to go for the proper defence of the persons or lands of the
settlers.
These organizations eventually assumed the name of Green Mountain
Boys, in derision and defiance, it is said, of a threat of Gov. Tryon, to drive
the settlers from their possessions into the Green Mountains. This name,
by the bravery and military exploits of those who bore it during the revolu-
tionary period, became an honorable appellation, and is often used to desig-
nate all the troops of the State, and sometimes the whole people.
In carrying into execution the resolves of the General Convention, col-
lisions with the New York officers and claimants were not unfrequent, and
they occurred occasionally through a series of years. The following extracts
from a letter of a New York official, in 1771, will show something of the
spirit of the times. It is taken from Hall's "Early History of Vermont" : —
"xA.LBANY, September 10, 1771.
"Sir: — Your favor of the 1 6th of August, and the ^60. 2s. gd. of Mr.
Robert Yates, I received on my return here, after being the second time
stopped in Socialborough, by James Mead and Asa Johnson in behalf of the
settlers in Rutland and Pittsford. I have run out lots from the south bounds
to within about two miles of the Great Falls. I found it in vain to persist
any longer, as they were resolved at all events to stop us. There have been
many threats pronounced against me. Gideon Conley, who lives by the
Great Falls, [Sutherland Falls] was to shoot me, ***** ^nd
yonr acquaintance Nathan Allen, was in the woods with another party blacked
and dressed Uke Indians, as I was informed. Several of my men can prove
Townsend and Train threatened my life, that I should never return home,
" The people of Durham [now Clarendon] assured me, these men intended
to murder us if we did not go from thence, and advised me by all means to
desist surveying. ****** i found I would not be allowed to go
northward, as they suspected I would begin again, and therefore intended to
convey us to Danby and so on to the southv/ard, and by all accounts we
should not have been very kindly treated. I was advised by no means to go
that road. ****** Qn my assuring them I would survey no
more in those parts, we were permitted to proceed along the Crown Point

turn. *****

continually on the watch always. ***** Since I have been here,
several have visited me, asking questions, no doubt to be able to know us,
should we venture within their territories, and at the same time warning us of
the danger, should we be found there.

" Marsh's survey is likewise undone, as I did not care to venture myself that
way. I shall be able to inform you more particularly at our meeting, and am
" Sir, your most obedient servant, Will Cockburn.
"James Duane, New York."
Thus the people struggled on until the breaking out of the Revolution
against the mother country, when the minor trouble of the land controversy
was swallowed up in the greater.
When this became cleared, it found Vermont an independent common-
wealth ; an independent State that had struggled into existence through a
double revolution. The land controversy was finally given up by the young
State's haughty neighbor, upon the payment of $30,000, and they have since
lived together on the most amicable terms.
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
The active part the people of the "grants" took in this war, and the hearty
zeal with which they entered into the contest for American liberty, was owing
not only to their love of liberty, but more to their general hostiUty and deep
distrust of a monarch who permitted his greedy servants, in his name, to grant
his lands twice over, and persecute his first grantees as felons and outlaws.
At the opening of this war, although the people were nominally under the
jurisdiction of New York, they never recognized her authority, and were sub-
stantially independent, obeying only the decrees of committees and conven-
tions, and of their own town meetings.
The approaching struggle with the mother country had for some time been
foreseen, and the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts, on the 15th of Eeb-
ruary, 1775, to guard against an apprehended attempt of the emissaries of the
British ministry to engage the Canadians and Indians in hostilities against
the colonies, directed the committee of the town of Boston to open a cor-
respondence with the Province of Canada in such manner as they should
think proper. That committee appointed John Brown, Esq., a young lawyer
of Pittsfield, to repair to Canada, to obtain information of the state of the
Province and to endeavor to counteract any unfriendly efforts of their enemies.
Mr. Brown had a consultation with the " grand committee " at Bennington,
who furnished him with a guide for the undertaking, one Peleg Sunderland.
In a letter written by Mr. Brown to Samuel Adams and Joseph Warren of
the Boston Committee, dated March 29, 1775, he speaks of the fortress of
Ticonderoga as follows : " One thing I must mention to be kept a profound
secret. The fort at Ticonderoga must be seized as soon as possible should
hostilities be committed by the King's troops. The people of the New
Hampshire Grants have engaged to do the business, and in my opinion are
the most proper persons for this job. This will effectually curb this province
[Canada] and all the troops that may be sent here." When, therefore, a few
days after the battle of Lexington, messengers arrived at Bennington from
Connecticut, accompanied by Brown, for the purpose of collecting a force to
-4^

attack that fortress, they found the people of the "grants" with their minds
already prepared for the undertaking, and under the leadership of Col. P^than
Allen, already on their way toward the lake.
The details of the early surprise by Allen, who with drawn sword made the
demand to surrender the fort, " In the name of the Great Jehovah and of the
Continental Congress," and how, overawed, Delaplace gave up the garrison
without a struggle, on the loth of May, 1775, and the subsequent importance
of this bloodless conquest of the Green Mountain Boys to the revolutionary
cause, are matters of general history, and not necessary to relate here.
On Wednesday, the 24th of July, 1776, the first meeting of the committee
was held, which eventually declared Vermont, or New Hamy:)shire Grants, a
free State. It was held at the house of Cephas Kent, in Dorset. Bennington
County, with Capt. Joseph Bowker of Rutland, as chairman.
On the 2d day of July, 1777, this committee met for the declared purpose
of forming a constitution of government, but other objects were found to re-
quire its serious attention. Col. Warner wrote from Rutland, on the 2d of
July, " To the honorable, the convention now sitting at Windsor, in the State
of Vermont," that an army of ten thousand veterans, one-half of them Ger-
man hirehngs, equipped and furnished with every warlike material that wealth
and skill could supply, had been collected in the province of Canada and
attended by a formidable body of savages and a corps of tories, was approach-
ing the post of Ticonderoga. Gen. St. Clair, who commanded at Ticonde-
roga, had sent Col. Warner to gather reenforcements from the mihtia, and he
had just received an express that an attack was expected every hour. The
letter requested the convention "' to send on all the men that could possibly
be raised," saying that the safety of the post depended on the exertions of the
country.
By the 5th of July, Col. Warner had reached Ticonderoga with nine hun-
dred militia, but the fort, even after this re-enforcement, was altogether un-
tenable against the strong and well appointed army of Burgoyne. On the
evening of that day a council of war unanimously decided that it should be
abandoned before daylight the next morning, which was accordingly done.
All the cannon and most of the provisions and military stores fell into the
hands of the enemy, and the army retreated rapidly toward Castleton. On
this retreat occurred the first and only battle fought in Vermont during the
Revolution.
THE BATTLE OF HUBBARDTON.
About two o'clock in the morning of the 6th of July, Gen. St. Clair, with
the garrison, left Ticonderoga and proceeded toward Hubbardton and Castle-
ton. The affairs were conducted with secrecy and silence, and unobserved
by the enemy, till a French officer, imprudently and contrary to orders, set fire
to his house. The flames immediately revealed to the enemy the rhovements
and designs of the Americans, and at the same time impressed the Americans
RUTLAND COUNTY. 59
with such an idea of discovery and danger, as to throw them into the utmost
disorder and confusion.
About four o'clock the rear guard of the American army left Mount Inde-
pendence, and were brought off by Col. Francis in good order ; and the regi-
ments which had preceded him were soon recovered from their confusion.
When the troops had arrived at Hubbardton, they were halted for nearly two
hours. Here the rear guard was put under the command of Col. Seth War-
ner, with orders to follow the army as soon as those who had been left behind
came up, and to halt about a mile and a half in the rear of the main body.
St. Clair then proceeded to Castleton, about six miles further, leaving War-
ner, with the rear guard and stragglers, at Hubbardton.
The retreat of the Americans from Ticonderoga was no sooner perceived
by the British than an eager pursuit was begun under Gen. Fraser and Gen.
Reidesel. Fraser continued the pursuit during the day, and having learned
that the rear of the American army was not far off, ordered his men to lie that
night upon their arms. Early on the morning of the 7th, he renewed the
pursuit, and about 7 o'clock, commenced an attack upon the Americans un-
der Warner.
Warner's force consisted of his own regiment and the regiments of Cols.
Francis and Hale. Hale, fearful of the result, retired with his regiment,
leaving Warner and Francis, with only seven or eight hundred men, to dispute
the progress of the enemy.
The belligerents drew up their forces in line of battle, but did not come to
a general engagement, (as each awaited the arrival of reenforcements,) until
Warner made a fierce onslaught, throwing the enemy into deep confusion,
who, rallying again, advanced upon the Americans, but were brought to a
stand. The action had now become general, and Francis was killed at the
head of his regiment, which was then driven to the woods at the point of the
bayonet. At this critical juncture Reidesel's reenforcements arrived. The
Americans, supposing the whole German force was at hand, were seized with
a panic, and gave way ; when Warner's regiment, which had fought with in-
vincible courage, began to break. The sturdy and intrepid Colonel, throw-
ing himself down on a log, poured forth a torrent of curses and execrations
on the flying troops ; but when perceiving the day was lost, he sprang to his
feet, and in the coolest possible manner, ordered the troops to assemble at
Manchester, which those who heard him obeyed to the number of about 200;
the others joining the remains of Francis' regiment, repaired to the main
army at Fort Edward.
The English loss in this battle, as stated by their official returns, in killed
and wounded was 183, including among the former 20 officers. The Ameri-
can loss is estimated at about 324 killed, wounded and prisoners.
This battle was undoubtedly lost by the indiscretion of St. Clair, who hav-
ing left his rear guard at such a distance from his advance, that support was
impossible. It was also very disastrous, not only on account of the loss of
6o RUTLAND COUNTY.
men, but in their retreat from Ticonderoga they left in the hands of the Eng-
lish their cannon, amounting to 128 pieces, their shipping and batteaux, and
their provisions, stores and magazines. By this event Burgoyne obtained no
less than 1,748 barrels of flour, and more than 70 tons of salt provisions; and,
in addition to these, a large drove of cattle, which had arrived in the Ameri-
can camp a few days previous to their retreat.
For 82 years the spot where this battle was fought, — and fought bravely
though suffering defeat, — had lain unmarked, neglected and almost forgotten,
until, on the 7th of July, 1859, an appropriate monument of marble was
erected near the spot where Francis was killed. It is a plain marble shaft,
bearing, on one side, the following inscription : —
" By the citizens of Hubbardton and vicinity, To the memory of those men
who here laid down their Uves in the defence of their country's rights and lib-
erties."
The battle-field is situated in one of those beautiful and picturesque spots
so often met with among the hills and valleys of Vermont, and it is difficult
for one to gaze on the pure, white shaft, and realize that it marks the scene of
a bloody conflict, or that it was from this spot that the brave spirit of Francis
winged its flight to that happier land where it shall engage in war no more.
WAR OF 1812.
In 1 81 2, after thirty years of peace and prosperity, the people were again
called upon to confront England. The part Rutland County took in the pro-
ceedings did her citizens no discredit. Some of the old heroes are still resid-
ing within its limits. The preparation for the battle of Plattsburg, N. Y., etc.,
and, indeed, all the events of the war, are matters of general history and too
well known to require mention here. From the close of this war, in 1815, a
period of about thirty years' peace was again enjoyed by the people, when
the war with Mexico aroused them from their quiet avocations.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
The necessity of this war was not generally concurred in by the citizens, '
and consequently did not arouse any great degree of sympathy or enthusiasm.
Soon after the first battle was fought, — Palo Alto, on May 8, 1846, in which
the Americans were so victorious, — the martial spirit of the Green Mountain
boys was revived, and the recruiting of a regiment was commenced in the
State. Of the recruits from Rutland County we have only a straggling record.
Most certain it is, however, that the town of Danby contributed sixteen of
her noble sons, most of whom sustained well the reputation of their town and
county. Of the following list, none, we beheve, are now residents of the
town : — Damon Ballard, Elisha Bradley, Hiram Harrington, Samuel Hall,
Daniel Hilliard, Chauncey Maxham, Jamon Preston, Caleb Roberts, Oliver
Sheldon, C. Smith, Wesson Soule, Henry Tufts, Stephen Woods, Willard
RUTLAND COUNTY. 6 1
Woods, L. Smith, and Hiram Wait. Pawlet, too, contributed two of her sons,
James Preston and Return Strong, and Rutland one, at least, in the person of
Lieut. Hopkins, who, on the 29th of April, 1847, ^^.s publicly presented with
a sword, by his friends, previous to his departure. Soon after the battle of
Mexico, preliminaries of peace were signed at Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Feb-
ruary 2, 1848, annexing a large amount of rich territory to the Union, which
is now developed into popular states and prosperous cities, which Rutland
County can look upon and say, — " I did my share in acquiring this ! "
THE WAR OF THE UNION.
Peace again brooded over the land for a period of about thirteen years
smiling upon a prosperous, happy people ; but was rudely frightened away on
the morning of April 12th, 1861, when the report of the shot upon Sumter
was sent reverberating through the land, echoing from summit to summit of
the Green Mountains, and rolUng through their verdant valleys, awaking her
sons from their dreams of peace, filling their souls with but one thought, — •
the flag that had been bought with the blood of their fathers had been outraged
— and impelling them, as with one impulse, to rush to its rescue.
Side by side with her sister states, Vermont endured the weary marches
and bore the brunt of battles, and side by side their sons sleep the "long
sleep," some 'neath the burning sands of the willful South, others sepulchered
in the coral caves of the sobbing sea, a tomb to which the grandest, most
imposing sepulchre that man can build were but a sorry hut. Others have
been borne to the grave amid their kindred by sympathizing friends, who,
year by year in solemn procession, to mufiled drum-beat, wend their way to
the consecrated places to deck the graves with beautiful spring flowers, — a
national tribute to the memory of the gallant dead, 5,128 of whom Vermont
sacrificed as her share towards preserving our nation's unity, freed from the
curse of slavery, so long a foul blot upon her fair fame. And though
thousands of parents, wives, brothers and sisters still mourn the loss of
those they loved, they still have to comfort them, a prominent share in the
glory of their native State, even though purchased at so fearful a- price. Ver-
mont promptly filled every quota, and every dollar needed was furnished with
alacrity. Of her treasure $9,087,352.40 were expended in furnishing the
34,238 loyal sons and representatives who went out to fight the battles of
their country, 5,022 of whom were discharged from the service with shattered
constitutions, or maimed in body, to renew the peaceful avocations of life as
circumstances would permit, and it is but lately that these stricken defenders
have, by increase of bounties and pensions, received proper acknowledgement
by a grateful nation, for their heroic deeds and sacrifices.

44 commissioned officers and 596 enlisted men, for wounds received in action.
Eleven enlisted men were paroled prisoners. Twenty-eight commissioned

IN CONCLUSION.
It may be well to state that the War Department accredited to this State
thirty-five thousand two hundred and forty-two men ; l>eing one thousand and
four more than are shown by the State records, and gives the State credit over
the aggregate quotas under all calls, oi fifteen hundred and thirteen men.
"This discrepancy may be and probably is to be accounted for," says Adju-
tant General P. T. Washburn, " by enlistments in organizations of other
States, to the credit of this State, which appear upon muster-rolls of those
organizations and were not reported to the State."
GAZETTEER OF TOWNS.
^ENSON is located in the extreme north-west corner of the county, in
lat. 43° 42' and long. 3° 46' east from Washington, and is bounded,
north by Addison County, east by Hubbardton and a small part of Sud-
bury and Castleton, south by Fairhaven and Westhaven, and west by Lake
Champlain, and contains an area of about 28,340 acres, or 42^ square miles.
Benson derived its name in honor of Hon. Egbert Benson, of the State 01
New York. The township was chartered October 27, 1779, (the charter was
not signed until May 5, 1780,) by "the Governor, Council and General As-
sembly of the Representatives of the Freemen of Vermont," to seventy-five
individual proprietors in eighty shares ; five being for public uses, as follows :
" One share for the use of a Seminary or College within the State, one share
for the first settled minister of the gospel, one share for the County Grammar
Schools throughout the State, one share for the use of schools in the town,
and one share for the glebe for the Church of England."
The surface is very broken and uneven in the northern, south-eastern and
south-western part, making about one-third of the territory rocky and moun-
tainous. Through the center of the town, from north to south, extends a
range of slate, from a mile to a mile and a half in width, covered with a good
soil, furnishing a fair share of upland for tillage. Otherwise, except in the
north-western part and in the mountain valleys, the soil is mostly clay. The
climate is delightful, the water very pure and the scenery picturesque, al-
though Benson is not as good a farming district as the lake towns in Addison
County.
The country is well watered by numerous lakes, streams, ponds and springs,
of which Sunset Lake, a beautiful little sheet of water situated in the northern
part of the town, is the largest, being nearly circular and about one mile in
diameter. Glen Lake lies in the south-eastern part of the town, extending
south into Fairhaven and Castleton. Little Pond is in the northern part of
the town, and several others, mostly small ones, are located in various parts
of the township.
Hubbardton River, with its tributaries, forms the principal stream. It rises
in the north-western part of Hubbardton, and flows in a south-westerly course
through Benson into Westhaven on the south.
76 TOWN OF BENSON.
There is still considerable timber in the town, beech, maple, pine and hem-
lock, interspersed with oak, ash and walnut, being most abundant.
In 1880 Benson had a population of 1,104, was divided into eleven school
districts and had eleven common schools, employing six male and sixteen fe-
male teachers, at an aggregate salary of $1,725.11. There were 271 pupils
attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year
ending October 30th, was $2,017.37, under the superintendency of Royal D.
King.
Benson, a post village, is beautifully located in the central part of the town,
and contains three stores, two blacksmith shops, one hotel, two churches,
(Methodist Episcopal and Congregational,) one shoe shop, one marble shop,
and has a population of about 250.
Benson Landing (p. o.) is a small hamlet located in the western part of
the town, on Lake Champlain. It contains one store, one store-house, and
about eight dwellings.
Ira E. Morse's saw ;«///, located on the north branch of Hubbardton River,
near Sunset Lake, was built in 1875. It manufactures about 200,000 feet of
lumber and 250,000 shingles annually.
Francis IV. Johnson's shingle faciory and cider mill, located on Hubbard-
ton River, at Tumble Falls, near road 10, was erected in 1880, and has a fine
water-power of twenty feet fall. Mr. Johnson manufactures 500 to 600 bar-
rels of cider per year.
N. O' Donald' s grist and saw mill, located on Hubbardton River, about
two miles from Benson village, is the only grist mill in the town, manufac-
tures in connection with flour, etc., 500,000 feet of lumber, 400,000 shingles,
and 1,000 barrels of cider each year.
The Walker Cheese Mamifactiiring Company was organized in 1873. Its
present list of officers is as follows : — J. S. Griswold, President ; R. D. King,
Vice President ; William Bascomb, Secretary ; L. H. Kellogg, Treasurer.
Directors : — Philo Wilcox, J. S. Griswold and B. A. Carter. This company
manufactures 100,000 lbs. of cheese, from the milk of 500 cows, each year.
Benson Butter and Cheese Factory, located upon the farm of O. H. and R.
E. Brown, was organized by a stock company in 1874. Its present officers
are: — J. D. Hunt, President; E. Norton, Vice President; H. S. Howard,
Secretary; R. P. Walker, Treasurer. Directors — R. E. Brown, A. J. Gibbs
and E. S. Howard. This company uses the milk from 400 cows.
A grist-mill at Bangall, (local name for a settlement on the Hubbardton
River on road 10,) was built and operated by William Cutler and Ethan Allen
prior to the year 1810.
The first person who settled in the town of Benson was Walter Durfee, who
made some improvements on his farm previous to the Revolution, but was
driven off his claim by the invasion of Burgoyne in 1777. In 1782 he re-
turned to the town and made a permanent settlement. Mr. Durfee resided
here until the year 1835, when he removed to West Chazy, N. Y., where he

died in the summer of 1843, aged over 90 years. Traces of his first cabin are
still extant.
The same year with Mr. Durfee, Daniel Barber of Pittsfield, Mass., came to
the town in search of a mill-site. He followed Otter Creek from Pittsford to
Vergennes, but found too much water in that stream for mill purposes, so
concluded to build on the Hubbardton River, about two miles from Benson,
near where N. O'Donald's mills now stand. The following year, 1783, Mr.
Barber returned to Benson with his wife, and in 1784 began the first dam on
Hubbardton River, on the site aforesaid. Here he built a saw-mill and the
following year a grist-mill, the first mills built in the town. During this time
Jonathan Meacham, James Noble and several others, with their families, had
settled in the town. Previous to the building of these mills the settlers were
obliged to carry their grain through the wilderness to Poultney to get it
ground. Ruth, wife of Daniel Barber, was the first woman settler of the
town. In August, 1785, her eldest son, Roswell, was born, who resided
in town all his life, dying in 1849. Roswell left two sons, D. R. Barber,
of Minneapolis, Minn., and E. L. Barber, who still resides on the old
homestead; which has never been owned out of the Barber family since
first purchased by his grandfather. Daniel Barber had a large family of
sons and daughters, most of whom, with their famihes, have "followed
the setting sun." Mr. Durfee, the first settler, has now no descendants in
the town.
The first seven years after the first settlement, immigration was so rapid that
in 1792 the population was 694, while in 1800 it was 1164, about the same as
now.
The first child born in the town was Thomas, son of Thomas and Elizabeth
Hale, born August 22, 1784. The first marriage was that of Levi Barber and
Rebecca Hinman. He was born in Worcester, Mass., April 6, 1763, and died
in Westhaven, January 13, 1856, aged 93 years. She was born in Woodbury,
Ct., February 15, 1768, and died in Westhaven, March 4, 1857, aged 89
years. Both were buried in Benson. The date of their marriage is not
known.
The first death that occurred is not now known, though the first re-
corded in the town record of deaths was that of James, an infant son of
Benoni and Lucy Gleason, who was born April 5, 1789, and died on the
following day.
The village burying-ground was surveyed and laid out October 5, 1790;
but previous to that time there had been burials in the south-east part of
the farm of E. S. Howard, and also in the north-west corner of the school
lot. There never were any monuments placed to mark these burials, and no
traces of the graves now remain. Captain William Barber is supposed to
have been the first adult who died in the town, his death occurring August
II, 1789. On road 44, fronting road 41, is a small, white, stone monument,
bearing the following inscription, which tells its own story : —

he became Assistant Secretary of the Senate of that. State. He was assassin-
ated on the 3d of April, 187 1, the assassination being for political motives.
His body was interred in Benson, on Wednesday, April 19, 1871, in the pres-
ence of the largest funeral procession ever gathered in the town.
The record of the first two town meetings, although stating that the meet-
ings "were held in Benson," does not state in either case at what place in the
town the meeting was held ; and no notification or warning for any town
meeting heldin the town, previous to November, 1798, is recorded in the town
records. At a town meeting held September 18, 1786, it was voted "to raise
six pounds" and "to raise it by the pole," [poll] and " that there be six days'
work per man done on the roads, with what has been done this year ; " and
also " voted to petition to the General Assembly a tax on all lands of one pen-
ny per acre." At the October session of the General Assembly, in 1786, an
Act was passed empowering the selectmen to levy a tax of one penny on each
acre of land in the town, for the purpose of making and repairing public

roads and bridges in the town. At the same session were passed resolutions
providing for taking the sense of the freemen of the State on a proposed
project for "emitting a small bank of paper money on loan or otherwise."
In reference to these resolutions it was voted at a town meeting held in Ben-
son November 23, 1786, "to say nothing about paper money."
At a town meeting held June 13, 1786, Capt. Asahel Smith was chosen the
delegate from the town to the State Constitutional Convention, held at Man-
chester on the last Thursday of June, 1786, called by the Council of Censors
to consider certain proposed amendments to the Constitution.
The town was first represented in the General Assembly in 1788 — Asahel
Smith representative ; and it has been represented in that body at every ses-
sion since that year, up to the present time; though in 181 2 the election of
the sitting member was successfully contested, and he was unseated.
Among the early merchants we find the following who were doing business
in the year 1795 : —
Jonas Abbott advertises, June 12, that he " has again refurnished his cheap
store with a fresh stock of European and India goods."
Timothy Watson was doing a boot and shoe business.
Stephen Olmsted and Tilly Gilbert were engaged in trade as general mer-
chants, the partnership being dissolved on April 7th of this year, and the busi-
ness continued by Olmsted.
At the annual town meeting held March 19, 1787, at the house of Stephen
Olmsted, it was "voted to fix the house lately occupied by Solomon Chit-
tenden and now the property of Asa Farnham, so it shall be convenient to
meet in on the Sabbath," and also " voted to hire Mr. Ralph [minister] the
space of one month, to pay in wheat after harvest, at a market price ; " and
it was also " voted that the committee appointed to hire Mr. Ralph are to
hire him one-half of the time for two months, if he will be hired for or under
four dollars per Sabbath, to be paid in grain after harvest."
At a town meeting held December 29, 1788, it was "voted to hire a Minis-
ter one-half the time next summer, with Fairhaven." Mr. Levi Hackley was
employed as a preacher in 1789-90. At a town meeting held on the 2 2d of
March, 1790, it was "voted to have Mr. I>evi Hackley settle with us for
our Minister," and "' that the town will raise thirty-five pounds in necessary
articles for building, to be paid to Mr. Levi Hackley for a settlement, exclu-
sive of the right of land which naturally belongs to him as soon as he becomes
our Minister," and " to give Mr. Hackley seventy pounds salary for a year, to
begin with forty pounds the first year, and to rise with the list of the town,
until it amounts to seventy pounds, and there stand ; " but the vote to settle
Mr. Hackley was reconsidered at an adjourned town meeting, March 30,
1780. The Rev. Dan. Kent became the first settled minister in Benson, he
having a "call to settle with us in the work of the ministry" on the 4th of
June, 1792. This pastoral relation continued until the nth of July, 1828,
when he was dismissed.
TOWN OF BENSON. 83
In the winter of 1795-6, the canker rash, or ulcerous sore throat, (scarlet
fever,) was very prevalent and malignant in the township and vicinity.
During the winter of 181:5-13, there were cases of the spotted fever in town ;
and, in the latter part of February, 1813, these were followed by the
typhoid pneinnonia, or lung fever, which became a prevailing and frightful
epidemic. Its principal ravages were in the months of March and April, and
there were no new cases after the middle of May following. There were
about sixty deaths from this disease in less than three months. Aside from
these, the town has never been visited by epidemic diseases.
Benson Congregational Church, located at Benson village, was organized
in March, 1790, by Mathias Cazier, of Castleton, and his delegate, Mr.
Sturtevant, with Joseph Clark as Moderator of the Church and Allen Good-
rich, Clerk. Deacon Jonathan Woodward, grandfather of ex- Vice-Presi-
dent Wheeler, was the first deacon, and Rev. Dan Kent, son of Dea. Cephas
Kent of Dorset, the first pastor and also the first settled minister in Benson.
He was born in Suffield, Conn., April 10. 1758, commenced his pastorate
in Benson in 1793, and continued as pastor of this Church thirty-six years.
He died in Benson, July 22, 1835.
During Mr. Kent's ministry the Church grew rapidly. He was a man of
fervent piety and great zeal. At several periods during his pastorate there
was unusual interest and the Church received large additions to its numbers.
The first church edifice, a one story frame building, 34 by 40 feet, was
erected in 1790, built by Major Ozia Johnson, and stood upou the site now
occupied by Willard Strong's residence, but was afterwards removed to the
ground now occupied by the Methodist church. The second house of
worship was raised in 1797, and completed in 1803. This building was fol-
lowed by the present church edifice, in 1841, which is a fine, comfortable
building, capable of seating 450 persons, and cost about $6,500, while the
whole church property is valued at $12,000. What the membership of the
society was at its organization is not kown, but was probably small. It now
has a membership of 150, with Rev. Geo. G. Lyon, pastor.
The First Baptist Church of Benson was organized by Elder Abel Wood,
Samuel Tower and John Carter, in March, 1797. At its organization it had
14 members, with Rev. William Patterson as pastor. In 1826 the first
building was erected, built of stone; this was followed by a second in 1841,
but has since that time been used for other purposes, the society having
disbanded, part uniting with Sudbury and others with Westhaven.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Benson village, was organized
about the year 1839, by Rev. P. P. Harrower, who was the first pastor.
The present church edifice, a comfortable building capable of seating about
250 persons was built in 1841, and remodeled again in 1876. The original
cost of the building was about $2,000, while the present value of the property
is about $7,500. L. A. Dibble is pastor of the society, which has a member-
ship of 125.
84 TOWN OF BRANDON.
^^.RANDON lies in the northern part, forming one of the border towns
*f^ between this county and Addison, in lat. 43 '^ 48' and long. 3° 50' east
y from Washington, and is bounded north by Leicester in Addison
County, east by Goshen and a part of Chittenden, south by Pittsford, and
west by Sudbury. It was chartered under the name of Neshobe, October 20,
1761, by Benning Wentworth, and contains 22,756 acres. It retained the
name of Neshobe for twenty-three years, when on the 20th of October, 1784,
the Act of Legislature confirming the organization of the town, gave it its
present name of Brandon. This name is supposed to be a corruption of
" Burnt-town," which was derived from the fact of the town having at one
time (1777,) been visited by Indians, who massacred some of the inhabitants
and burned their dwellings.
The surface, except in the eastern part, is not mountainous ; but here the
Green Mountains extend along the whole eastern border and contain some
quite high elevations. The rocks of the western and central portion of the
township are of the eolian litnestone formation and contain some good marble
quarries, although they are at present not worked to any great extent. The
eastern part is composed mostly of quartz^ except a small belt of pliocene ter-
tiary deposit. This belt contains many valuable minerals, consisting of iron,
manganese, kaolin, paint pigments, and some silver. Iron ore was first dis-
covered in Brandon in 18 10, and soon after a forge was built and bar-iron of
a superior quaHty was manufactured for several years. In 1820 a furnace was
built by John Conant, Esq., for reducing the ore, an undertaking which at
that time was deemed one of great hazard ; but he persevered with character-
istic energy and judgment, and with complete success, and it is to this fur-
nace, long well known as " Conant's Furnace," that Brandon is indebted for
an impetus then given to its business interests and for its continuous growth
and prosperity. Iron is not manufactured to as great an extent as formerly.
Paint and kaohn are still manufactured to a considerable extent. Not enough
silver to amount to anything has ever been found ; but there are traditions of
a very rich mine hid somewhere in the mountains, that was once worked with
great success by the Spaniards. A singular freak in the geological formation
of the town is the " frozen well," wherein ice may be found during the entire
season. It is located a little southwest of Brandon village, on road 37^, and
was dug in November, 1858. After sinking about twenty feet through the
soil, the workmen came to frozen earth, consisting of coarse gravel, rounded
pebbles and lumps of clear ice, from the size of an egg to that of a 12 lb.
cannon ball; this frozen stratum is about 15 feet thick. The well is 34^ feet
deep and has about 2\ feet of water in it ; its diameter is about three feet, and
it is properly stoned up with rounded boulders of limestone. This well has
always been a matter of considerable curiosity to scientists.
The country is watered by numerous streams, some of which afford excel-
lent mill-sites, the principal one being Otter Creek, which enters the southern
part of the township, flows a north-westerly course into Hubbardton, and
TOWN OF BRANDON. 85
through the extreme north-western corner of the town into Addison County.
Mill River rises in the north-east part of the town, flows a south-westerly
course and is discharged into Otter Creek near the southern boundary of the
township. The numerous other streams serve to irrigate the soil and afford
some mill-privileges, but are of no considerable size. In the northern part
are two small ponds, called respectively Burnett's and Spring Pond.
The Central Vermont Railroad enters the township about the centre of its
southern boundary, extends through the town in a north-westerly direction,
entering Addison County on the north.
Brandon contains much good farming land and has many excellent farms.
The soil is various, but generally a light loam, easily tilled and very produc-
tive. The alluvial flats, or intervale, along Otter Creek, are extensive and
beautiful and are not surpassed in fertihty by any in the county. The town-
ship produces every variety of timber common to the country; pine, oak,
cherry, sugar and red maple, ash and cedar, are found in abundance, making
lumber manufacture quite an industry.
In 1880 Brandon had a population of 3,280, was divided into thirteen
school districts and had twenty common schools, employing three male and
eighteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $5,014.00. There were
693 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for
the year ending October 30th, was $5,638.92. The schools were under the
superintendence of Mr. J. S. Cilley.
Brandon, a post village and station on the Central Vermont R. R., is very
pleasantly located near the central part of the township. It enjoys a good
water-privilege and other facilities for making it a smart inland town ; but
owing to the loss of manufactories and lack of industries, the material inter-
ests of the town have been seriously affected during the past few years. Its
prospects are not near so flourishing as they were several years since. It
contains at present five churches, two banks, two hotels, thirteen stores, one
grist and flour mill, three meat markets, two marble-shops, four harness-shops,
two liveries, one shoe-counter and stay manufactory, one foundry, five black-
smith shops, one graded school, one cooper-shop, three cabinet-makers, ten
dress-makers, three milliner shops, two carriage-shops, three paint-shops, one
brass band, two hose companies, two printing offices, one dye-house, one brick-
yard, one laundry, five lawyers, six physicians, etc., and about 300 dweUings.
FoRE-STDALE (p. o.) is a pleasant little village of about 500 inhabitants, lo-
cated in the north-eastern part of the township, the principal business interest
being Newton & Thompson's wood-turning works. There are two churches,
three stores, three blacksmith shops, two livery stables, one wheelwright
shop, etc.
The above two are the only villages in the township, the other portions be-
ing entirely rural districts.
Newton & Thompson' s ivood-turning ivorks, located at Forestdale, were es-
tablished in 1856, and now employ 100 men. In 1877 the works were twice

destroyed by fire, and during the same season damaged to the extent of sev-
eral thousand dollars, by flood.
The Sprague Counter and Stay Company, located at Brandon village, was
organized in July of 1879. The business has since been steadily increasing,
and the firm exj)ects soon to be employing about two hundred hands in the
manufacture of shoe counters and corset stays.
The First National Bank of Brandon was organized in 1864, and com-
menced operations on the first day of May following, with a capital of $50,-
000. It now has a $100,000.00 surplus fund, after having paid, up to date,
(April 15, '81,) $245,000 in dividends. Nathan T. Sprague is president of
the institution, and H. C. Copeland, cashier.
The Brandon. National Bank has been in successful business operation
many years, having a capital of $200,000.00. Erastus D. Thayer is president ;
Cyrus Jennings, vice-president, and Frank E. Briggs, cashier.
The Brafidon Statuary Marble Co., of Brandon village, was organized in
1865. The quarry had been worked previous to this by E. D. Selden and
others ; it is now owned by C. W. Bishop, and when in operation employs
about 100 men, with Dudley C. Brown as superintendent.
The Brandon Mining Co.'s Works, located on road 27, corner 28, was es-
tablished for the manufacture of mineral paint and kaolin, in 1855. The
mineral was discovered by Fuller & Green, who commenced the manufacture
of wrought iron here many years ago, and by washing the ore, the ocher, or
paint pigment, was discovered. It is taken from the mine in its crude state,
mixed with refuse matter, and after being broken up and thoroughly washed,
it is with water carried down a sluice, the worthless material in the form of
pebbles, iron ore, sand, etc., settles to the bottom, and the substance valuable
for paint is held in solution, and carried by spouts and deposited in large vats.
Here it is suffered to remain, and the paint settles to the bottom. The water
is then drawn off and the process is repeated until a sufficient deposit has ac-
cumulated in the vats to undertake the drying process. This is accomplished
by first allowing the sediment in the vats to become, by the action of the sun's
rays, of the consistency of thick mud or clay, when it is cut or shoveled into
pieces about the size of bricks, and laid upon shelves to dry in buildings pre-
pared for the purpose. When perfectly dry it is run through a crushing mill,
and packed in barrels for the market. This paint is very similar to the cele-
brated French ocher, and has met with a large demand from various sections
of the country. By placing the lumps of yellow ocher in ovens and calcin-
ing them, red ocher is made, of a quality closely resembling Venetian red.
Kaolin, or paper clay, as it is sometimes called, in process of manufacture,
is similar to that of ocher, except that it does not undergo the grinding pro-
cess, but is fit for market as soon as it is dry. The kaolin manufactured here
is principally used in the manufacture of paper, for "stuffing," giving a smooth
surface and additional weight to paper; it is mixed with the pulp, and but a
small per cent, is lost by the subsequent process of manufacture. This com-

pany employs about 30 men, and manufactures about 1,000 tons of paint and
500 tons of kaolin per annum. The works are owned by Messrs. James
Havemyer, H. R. Conklin and Samuel J. French, of New York City.
The Brandon Kaolin and Paint Co.'s Works, located on road 27, about
two miles east of Brandon village and one mile south of Forestdale, were es-
tablished in 1865. They manufacture about 1,000 tons per annum and em-
ploy 20 men. The paint varies in color from very light yellow to dark yellow
and dark red, and light and dark brown. David W. Prime is president of
the company.
The Eagle Foundry was established in 1867, by Payne, Christie & Hendry.
In 1875 M^- John Christie bought out his partners and now carries on the
business alone. He manufactures plows, cultivators, brackets, plant stands,
match boxes, etc., giving employment to ten men.
Churchill Saw Mill, located on Mill River, was built in 1850, by M. H.
Churchill, and is now owned by G. H. Churchill, who manufactures about
5,000 feet of lumber per day.
Durkee's sa^c and planing mill, located at Brandon village, employs three
men and manufactures 500,000 feet of lumber and 200,000 shingles per year.
It is operated by water power.
The first tree felled in the township of Brandon, (then Neshobe,) with a
view to settlement, was in the month of October, 1772, by Amos Cut-
ler. April 5, 1773, John Ambler and David June, his son-in-law, came into
town from Stamford, Ct., and made their "pitch" jointly, south of and ad-
joining Mr. Cutler, and extending, as it was afterwards surveyed, to near the
north line of Pittsfield. These were followed by Josiah Powers, Elisha
Strong, Thomas Tuttle, Joseph Barker, John Mott, George and Aaron Rob-
ins, Benjamin Powers, Jonathan Ferris, Joshua Goss and Samuel Kelsey ; all
but the last two are supposed to have come previous to the Revolution.
The organization, by the choice of the necessary officers, took place Octo-
ber 7, 1784. The law then in force required that such proceedings should
take place at the time of the annual town meeting, which was then, as now,
held in March, but the Legislature, then about to meet at Rutland, soon after
confirmed their proceedings by a special Act.
The massacre spoken of as giving rise to the name of Burnt Town, oc-
curred in 1777, the township being then visited by a party of Indians, who
killed two men, George and Aaron Robins, and made prisoners of most of
the inhabitants, and set fire to their dwellings and to a saw mill which they
had erected. Joseph Barker, his wife, and a child eighteen months old, were
among the prisoners. The next night, with no other shelter than the trees
of the forest and the canopy of heaven, and with no other company than the
infant above named, she gave birth to another child. She was found the fol-
lowing day and removed with her children to Pittsford.
Mr. Barker was carried to Middlebury, where, feigning himself sick, he suc-
ceeded during the night in making his escape, and arrived safely at Pittsford.
88 TOWN OF BRANDON.
The farm whereon the Robins brothers were killed is located on road 23,
and is occupied by Nelson B. Wheeler, and owned by N. T. Sprague. They
were buried where they fell, and after many years their remains were taken
up, and amid imposing ceremonies, on one 4th of July, buried in the old cem-
etery at Brandon village.
Amos Cutler, the first white man ever known to have passed a winter in
town, came from Hampton, Conn., settling on road 45, upon the farm now
owned by Josiah Rosseter. Here he made an " opening " and built a log
cabin, which he occupied "solitary and alone "during the next winter, having
no other companion than a faithful dog. He was then 23 years old and sin-
gle. In the fall following, he returned to Hampton and was married to Amy,
daughter of Jacob Simonds, November 23, 1773. As a fruit of this marriage
there was born unto them two sons and four daughters. He died March 18,
1 81 8, on the old farm where he had resided 46 years.
David June came to Brandon from Stamford, Conn., in 1773, in company
with his father-in-law, John Ambler. They made a joint " pitch " in the south
part of the township, to which Mr. June added, by subsequent purchases,
making in the whole 225 acres, which comprised his homestead at the time
of his death. Mr. Ambler died in about three years after he arrived in town.
Mr. June was born September 9, 1746, and married to Prudence Ambler in
Stamford, she dying April 17, 1797, aged 45. His son, Stephen, was the first
male child born in the town that hved, born September 11, 1774, and resided
here until his death, which occurred February 10, 186 1, he being 86 years of
age. David's education, Hke most farmers of that day, was quite deficient,
yet his sound judgment, good sense and unshaken integrity, rendered him
exceedingly useful in the management of town business, and he was one of
the first selectmen. He died on the 24th of June, 1819, in the 74th year of
his age.
Jedediah Winslow came to Brandon in 1778, from Barre, Mass., settling
on the north-east side of Otter Creek, near the road leading from the village
to the Blackmer bridge. He was a man of great physical powers, being tall and
of large limbs, was remarkably shrewd, good natured and a great manager in
the perilous times of the Revolution. At the formation of the Congregational
Church, in 1785,, he was the first deacon, and for several years, until they had
a pastor, he took charge of the worship. Mr. Winslow died April 5, 1794,
aged 69.
Micah Brown came to Brandon from Ashford, Conn., settUng at an early
date in what is now the village of Brandon, on the place now owned by
Hiram Blackmer. His daughter, Mary, married Chauncey Capron, and is
now living in Brandon, at the age of 65. Mr. Brown was a major of militia,
and, like other pioneers, endured many hardships.
David Merriam came from Walpole, N. H., in 1787, settling on road 3, upon
the farm now owned by Wrn. H. Williams. He was twice married, his first
wife, Phoebe Foster, dying April 7, 1794, aged 30. His second wife, Betsey

Conant, a sister of John Conant, died in June, 1842, aged 67. Mr. Mer-
riam was a hatter, but early in the history of the town gave up the trade
entirely, and gave his whole attention to farming. He died March 26, 1826,
aged 62. He was an active and useful member of the Baptist Church, of
which he was for a long time, and until his death, a deacon. He was a
selectman several years, and held various other town offices. Two of his
sons, Isaac and Jonathan, became Baptist ministers.
Edward Cheney came to Brandon from Dublin, N. H., in 1782, setthng
upon the land east, and not far from the spot where the marble-mill now
stands, on road 1 6^. Mr. Cheney came to the town on an ox-sled, his family
making the eighth then in town. He successfully cultivated a large tract of
land, making his own farming tools, wagons, household furniture, etc. He
was an influential citizen, and was for many years deacon and clerk of the
Baptist Church. Of his family of eight children, four settled in Brandon.
There were at one time eight families of Cheneys in town ; but there is now
only the family of J. W. Cheney, who resides on the homestead of his father,
Samuel Cheney. David died suddenly of the epidemic of that season, Jan.
24, 1 8 13, aged 64 years. His widow died March 19, 1 841, aged 88. Of
the children of J. W. Cheney, Albert, the oldest, was a volunteer in the
Union Army, and died at sea, February 17, 1865, while on his way to join
the 7th Vt. Regiment at New Orleans. Edward Cheney was a soldier in the
Revolutionary war, having volunteered to take his father-in-law's place,
Ezekiel Hale, of Stowe, Mass., who was drafted. Elijah Cheney, son of
Edward, was a soldier in the war of 181 2, and was with others taken prisoner
by the British, at Black Rock, near Buffalo, N. Y., and from there taken to
Hahfax, N. S., where he spent a winter of terrible suffering from cold and
hunger. Samuel Cheney, also son of Edward, was a member of the miHtia,
and started for the defence of Plattsburg. The Brandon Co. at that time
numbered 70 men, under the captaincy of Micah Brown. It was called out
by order of General Strong, the Governor having refused to respond to the
call for aid. The company being detained at Charlotte about crossing the
Lake, they did not reach Burlington until the battle had begun, and so were
ordered to remain there, as they might be needed for the defence of that
town.
Joshua Goss came to Brandon from Montague, Mass., in 1783, settling
near the June place, where he resided about thirteen years, and then bought
of Noah Strong, for ^480, 180 acres, the well known Goss place, where he
long kept a public house, and which is now the town farm. Mr. Goss died
in December, 1826, aged 75 years.
Salathiel Patch came to Brandon from Mt. Holly, at an early date, settling
upon the farm now owned by Henry W. Patch, located on road 19. He
was a son of John Patch, one of the early settlers of Mt. Holly, having set-
tled near the foot of Patch's Pond.
Jacob Farrington, from Kinderhook. N. Y.. came to Brandon in 1786, set-
90 TOWN OF BRANDON.
tling upon the farm now owned by his grandson, P'rankUn Farrington, located
about one mile north of Brandon village, on road 36. Here he resided until
his death, which occurred on March 13, 1808, aged 79 years. His son, Dan'l
Farrington, was born in the state of New York, May 31, 1773, being about
13 years old when his father moved to Brandon. Here young Farrington was
devoted to agricultural pursuits for several years, and during these years of
severe, yet honorable toil, laid the foundation of his after success as a man.
In 1808 he was elected as lieutenant of the mihtia, and entered upon a new
life. Hitherto he had been chiefly engaged in home and private concerns,
but he was now called upon to participate in state and national affairs. Dif-
ficulties had grown up between the United States and Great Britain, a rup-
ture between the two governments was anticipated, and the commercial rela-
tions of the two countries were seriously disturbed. The sm.uggHng business
led to frequent encounters between the smugglers and custom house offi-
cers, in some of which blood was shed and lives lost. In the first serious
affray of this kind, Mr. Farrington was an actor. On the 30th of May, 1808,
he received orders to repair to the line between the States and Canada, for
the purpose of sustaining the famous embargo laws. He complied with the
request and was stationed at Windmill Point, one and a half miles from
Rouse's Point. In August of this year a guard of eighteen men were placed
in his command with orders to pursue and take a smuggling vessel called the
Black Snake. After reconnoitering the islands in the lake, the vessel was dis-
cerned and taken in the Winooski, a short distance from Burlington. In the
7nelee several men were killed, and Lieutenant Farrington was seriously
wounded in both arms, near the shoulder. One ball struck his forehead, pass-
ing over his head, grazing him in its passage and leaving him for a time com-
pletely senseless. Several of the smugglers were secured and safely lodged in
the jail at Burlington. After due process of law three of them were sentenced
to the State's Prison for ten years, and one by the name of Dean was hung.
In this encounter Lieut. Farrington showed great intrepidity and coolness, his
character as a man of uiettle and courage was fairly established. From this
time to the close of the war of 1812, he was more or less engaged in active
service as a soldier. On the first day of February, 18 15, he received his com-
mission as Captain, the said commission being dated from the 13th day of
April, 1 813. It is now in as good a state of preservation as though it were
issued but yesterday. It is printed on parchment, and contains splendid auto-
graphs of the Secretary of War, James Monroe, and of the President, James
Madison. After the war of 1812, Mr. Farrington returned to Brandon and
was engaged in agricultural pursuits, in which he was quite successful. He
was much respected and held various offices in the gift of the town, until his
death in 1865.
Joshua Field, son of Gaines and Sarah (Holton) Field, was bom in North-
field, Mass., in 1746. In the year 1786 he removed to Brandon, setthng up-
on the farm now owned by Burgess P. Field, on road i. He was a Revolu-

tionary soldier, serving in the New Hampshire Militia, and was at the Battle
of Bennington. He died on the old homestead in Brandon, on the 26th of
March, 1837, aged 91. Of his children, four now reside in Brandon, as
follows : Stearns J. Field, Burgess P. Field, Caroline J. Wing, (widow of S.
Davis,) and Mahala M. Baker, (wife of John L.) who now resides on Carver
street. His son, Paul, was killed by an ox, October 21, 1834. Stearns J.,
son of Paul, in 1863, crossed the plains to Idaho, where he was engaged in
carrying the mail from Bannock City to Salt Lake City, a distance of 500 miles.
To perform this journey he used one mule and a horse. The object of thus
oddly matching the animals was for the reason that when separated they
would not whinney for each other, and thus, mayhap, expose him to the In-
dians. He was often pursued by Indians, and twice severely wounded by
them. He returned to Brandon November 12, 1866, where he still resides.
John Townsend came to Brandon in the year 1800, and located upon the
farm now owned by his son John, Jr. Mr. Townsend married Eunice Howe,
the union being blessed with seven children — three sons and four daughters.
John Jr. was born on the old homestead, February 20, 1807, and has resided
there most of the time since. He married Abby Johnson, by whom he had
a family of five children, three of whom, daughters, are still living.
Samuel Burnell came to Brandon from Woodstock, Conn., in 1788, and
settled on road 6, corner 7, upon the place now owned by his granddaughter,
Sophia Ford. Mr. Burnell started for Brandon in March, 1787, arriving in
Tinmouth on the i6th of March, where he remained one year, when he came
to Brandon and built a log house a little west of the town farm. He was a
resident of the township for more than half a century, was a Revolutionary
soldier, member of the State Legislature and justice of the peace for many
years, and respected by all. He died July 5, 1838, aged 80 years. His son
Asa resided with the old people until their death, when the property reverted
to him, and is now in the possession of his daughter Sophia.
Jabez Lyon came to Brandon from Woodstock, Conn., at an early date, and
settled in the north part of the township, on road 6. Mrs. Lucy Spaulding,
who now resides on Park street, at Brandon village, is a daughter of Jabez,
and 84 years of age. She said her father resided in Brandon several years
before her birth. Jabez was an upright man and much respected. He died
March 16, 1843, aged 87.
Zephaniah Hack came to Brandon, from Taunton, Mass., in 1800. He
settled upon the farm now owned by Sardis Hack, on road 42. Here he
resided until his death, which occurred July 22, 1847, ^•t the age of 83 years.
Silas Keeler came to Brandon from Chittenden in 1796. He leased the
farm now in possession of Silas J. Keeler, on road 32, for a term, — "as long
as wood grows and water runs." Here he resided until his death, which
occurred August 16, 1845, i^ the 73rd year of his age.
Samuel Capron came from Mass. to Brandon, about the year 1805, and
settled upon the farm now owned by his son, Chauncey, who is at present in

his 74th year, having spent nearly his whole hfetime on this farm. Samuel
lived to see his seventy-fifth year, when he died upon the farm where he had
settled. Chauncey has in his possession a gun which was used by his great
grandfather, Jabez Lyon, Sr., in the Revolution. He has also several other
relics, among which are button and spoon moulds, and a wooden canteen,
(barrel shaped), which were owned by his great grandfather, Benj. Capron!
who was one of the first settlers of Rutland.
John Knowlton came to Brandon from Whenem, Essex Co., N. Y. in
1815, and settled here permanently in 1823. He was a carpenter, residing in
Brandon village. His sons, Juhus A. and Gardner J., still reside in the town.
N. T. Sprague was born at Pomfret, (now Hanson) Mass., Jan. 23, 1786.
At the age of thirteen he moved with his parents to Cavendish, Vt.' where
he resided a few years and then lived several years at Plymouth. ' At the age
of 22 he commenced business for himself in Mt. Holly. He was for twenty-
five years a merchant in that place, kept a hotel twelve years, and was at the
same time extensively engaged in agricultural pursuits, owning at one time
five hundred acres of land in a body. He filled, at various times, acceptably
and honorably, all the oflices of that town in the gift of the people. He re-
moved to Brandon in 1832. Having already amassed a fortune by his superior
business ability, and by the practice of those old-fashioned virtues, industry,
frugality and economy, he at once took a high rank among the wealthiest
citizens, and was ever after prominent in the banking and other financial
affairs of the town. He was director of the old Brandon Bank, and president
of the First National Bank, till he was succeeded by his son, Hon. N. T.
Sprague, Jr. He represented the town of Brandon in the Legislature for
five years, making in all nineteen years of legislative experience. He was
for several years one of the assistant judges of Rutland County. He voted
eighteen times for President of the United States. He died at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. R. V. Marsh, in 1876, in the 91st year of his age.
Rodney V. Marsh, the second son of Daniel and Mary Marsh, of Claren-
don, was born July 11, 1807. After receiving his academical education, he
came to Rutland and read law with Rodney C. Royce. He was admitted
to the Rutland County Bar in 1832, and came immediately to Brandon
where he opened an office for the practice of his profession, and where he
resided over forty years. In 1834 he married Eliza E., daughter of Hon. N.
T. Sprague, who still resides in Brandon. Mr. Marsh early identified him-
self with the temperance cause, and sustained by his own strict course what
he recommended to others. He also early identified himself with the anti-
slavery cause; and was found in the 7miguard of the anti-slavery ranks some
forty years ago. For three years in succession he was elected by the citizens
of Brandon as representative to the General Assembly, where he was prom-
inent, and at that time attracted much public attention. He continued to
be a prominent member of society up to the time of his death, which occur-
red at his residence in Brandon, on the evening of Friday, March 8, 1872,
aged nearly 65 years.
TOWN OF BRANDON. 93
John Conant, a native of Ashburnham, Mass., was born February 2, 1773.
He came to Brandon in 1796, and purchased of Simeon King and Joseph
HawJey, "one-half the mills and water power in the village," for the consider-
ation of ;{,"i6o; deed bearing date December 23, 1796. He had served an
apprenticeship to the trade of carpenter and joiner, and the knowledge thus
acquired, added to superior mechanical talents, was of great service to him
in the important business which he established, and in superintending the
valuable buildings and works of his own, erected in after years. By subse-
quent purchases he became the proprietor of the entire water-power in the
village. In 1816 he built the stone grist mill, still standing at the head of
the lower falls ; and in 1839, he erected the brick mill below it, which at
that time was one of the best structures of the kind in the State. In 1820
he erected the furnace in the village, the first blast of which was made in
October of that year. To this establishment, long and familiarly known as
"Conant's Furnace," is the village of Brandon chiefly indebted for the im-
petus then given, and for its continuous growth and prosperity. No man's
name, perhaps, has been more intimately associated with the town of Bran-
don than that of John Conant ; not however on account of the public
positions he has held, but from the nature, extent, and successful prosecu-
tion of his business operations for a long series of years, which gave employ-
ment to a large number of persons. He died June 30, 1856, in his 84th
year. His sons, C. W. and John A., continued for many years in active
business after their father's retirement. John A., now over 80 years of age,
is living here in quiet leisure, honored and respected for his many virtues.
The Town Farm of Brandon is located on road 7, and contains about 150
acres. At present there are nine paupers who are supported here at the
town's expense, of which three are insane. Charles H. Colson is the
superintendent.
Stephen A. Douglass was born in Brandon village, in the house now owned
by Mary F. C. Hyatt, on Grove street. Stephen's father died when Stephen
was an infant, dying suddenly of heart disease while holding Stephen in his
arms. He attended school at the old school-house on Park street, until he
was about 15 years of age, when he went away to school and never resided in
town afterwards. Among the last of his school days in Brandon, he boarded
at the house of John Knowlton. His sister Sarah afterward attended school
in town and boarded at Knowlton's house. She subsequently married a man
by the name of Julius Granger and removed with him to Western New York.
The pleasantly located building at Brandon village, now occupied by the
Brandon Graded School, was erected about fifty years ago, under the auspices
of the Baptist denomination of this State, who estabhshed the school that the
children of its members might receive a higher education in a school con-
trolled by the Church ; but more especially it was to be a nursery for young
men preparing for the ministry. The school was the object of much hope
and solicitude on the part of the Baptists of the State, and the project was
fondly entertained of ultimately making it a theological school.
94 TOWN OF BRANDON.
The State was thoroughly canvassed in its behalf, and its friends contributed
liberally. The citizens of Brandon village, without distinction of sect sub-
scribed a large sum. The venerable Dea. John Conant and his sons, C. W
and J. A., then in active business in Brandon, contributed the largest sum'
The school was incorporated as the "Vermont Literary and Scientific Insti-
tute." This cumbrous title soon fell into disuse, and it was known by the
name of "The Brandon Seminary." In its early years the school was well
patronized by the denomination which estabhshed it, counting among its stu-
dents, representatives from nearly all the Baptist churches in the State and
also being well patronized by the town and vicinity. But like some other
sectarian schools of that Church, in a few years it faded, and as a denomina-
tional school It ceased to be an object of much interest to that Church
During the remainder of its existence it was sustained as a local academic
school, after having a principal of some other faith. Finally, about the year
1865, the project of converting it into a graded school began to be agitated
It was found by the terms of the charter, the property could not be sold. So
after much consultation of authorities and several meetings of the trustees it
was resolved by them to /ease the building and grounds to the village for a
term of 999 years. The building was hterally reconstructed, it being arranged
in SIX large and well furnished school-rooms. In addition to these there were
recitation and reception rooms, and laboratory, all being heated by steam, and
with all modern improvements, at a cost of about $22,000. The school was
opened with a fine corps of teachers on the ist of September, 1868, since
which time it has been in a flourishing condition.
The Brandon Library Association was formed November 27, 1862, and
about 130 volumes purchased for a library. After a struggle for life, the Asso-
ciation ceased to be and did not meet for a period of four years. On January
25, 1869, the Hbrary, by vote of the Association, was turned over to the Far-
mers and Mechanics Club, who have from time to time added to it, until now
it contains about eight hundred volumes of choice standard works.
The Farmers and Mechanics Club was organized in the winter of 1862-3 and
met at the houses of the different members, on the itinerant plan; the evening
being spent m comparing notes and conversing on the various matters pertain-
ing to agriculture and mechanics. On the 7th day of Nov., 1872, the General
Assembly passed an act of incorporation, giving the Club the privileges usuallv
accorded to organizations of this kind. A Fair is held every fall, when a large
display of agricultural products and implements may be seen. The roll of
members has numbered three hundred; but by deaths, removals, etc., the
number has been reduced, but the interest is still maintained.
There are eight diff-erent places where the inhabitants of Brandon have
buried their dead, though several of them have long since been closed.
The first interments were made on the "June Farm," so called, in the south
part of the township. Here we find many quaint inscriptions on the tomb-
stones, among which is the following :—" In memory of John Ambler who

"pray Children call as you pass by.
And learn by us that you Must die ;
We once in life Was blithe and gay,
but Now Are Mouldering into Clay."
In Sugar Hollow, in the south-east part of the township, there is another
old burial place, long since closed. Another was located on the farm of
Abraham Gilber, one of the early settlers, and now in the possession of A. S.
Cook, Esq., is still open for interments.
The burial ground in Brandon village was opened about the year 1793, and
has become so full that it is now seldom used for interments.
In Forestdale there is another burial place often frequented.
In 1856 the Pine Hill Cemetery was opened with appropriate religious
ceremonies, in connection with the burial of Isaac F. Merriam, M. D., the
first tenant of the cemetery proper. The ample and attractive grounds of
this cemetery were the gift of John A. Conant, Esq. Recently, a Receiving
Tomb was constructed at the expense of Mrs. E. E. Marsh, who presented it
to the town.
In 1877 the ladies of Brandon village formed themselves into a society
known as the "Ladies Cemetery Association," for the purpose of raising funds
to improve the cemetery grounds. About $1,300.00 have been raised since
that time, of which $900 have already been expended in and about the ceme-
tery, in building a wall, fountain, etc. The young ladies of the Association
procured three hundred dollars, which was used in the purchase of gates for
the grounds.
In addition to those already mentioned, the Roman Catholics have two
localities, more exclusively their own, pleasantly situated and well cared
for.
St Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church, located at Brandon village, was
organized June 15, 1839, by Royal Blake, Benj. F. Green, Charles Backus,
Edward Sherman, Francis Webb, Charles Webb and James Briggs, seven
members in all, Rev. Josiah Perry being the first pastor. The parish had no
church edifice at this time, but soon afterward bought the upper room in the
old Town Hall, (now Engle's Block,) and fitted it up for a chapel, with chan-
cel, altar, lecterns and organ. The congregation used this chapel until the
present church edifice was erected (1863). It is built of stone, Gothic style,
and will seat comfortably 250 persons, the original cost being about $3,500,
and is now, together with the grounds, valued at $8,000. The parish at
present numbers about 100 communicants, with Rev. Henry Bedinger as
rector.
Thf. Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Brandon village, was organ-
ized in 1 80 1, by Daniel Pomeroy, with Elder Hulbert as pastor, and but few
members. The membership has since increased to 135, with George W.

Brown for their present pastor. The present church edifice was erected in
1874, and is a commodious building, capable of seating 350 persons, and
cost $13,000. The whole Church property is now valued at about $20,000.
The Congregational Churchy located at Brandon village, was organized
September 23, 1785, by Rev. Mr. Sell, of Dorset, and consisted of Jedediah
VVinslow and nine others. Mr. Winslow vvas the first deacon, and took
charge of the services for several years, until their first pastor, Rev. Enos
Bhss was settled. The first meeting-house was built of logs and stood near
the center of the town. About 1797 or '98, the second house was erected
upon the site now occupied by the present church. When nearly completed,
it took fire and burned down ; upon the old foundations they erected
another, which yielded satisfactory accommodations until 1831. In April of
that year the old church was demolished, preparatory to laying the foundation
of the present brick structure. Its dimensions are 75 by 52 feet, and cost
about $5,000. In 1858 it was thoroughly repaired at a cost of $3,000, and
is now a neat commodious structure, capable of seating 450 persons. Rev.
Walter Rice is the present pastor.
St. Mary's Catholic Church.^ located at Brandon village, was organized by
Rev, J. Queillon, in 1853, it then consisting of 60 families. The church
building was erected in 1853, and much enlarged and embellished in 1858,
so that it is now capable of seating 550 persons. The society at present
consists of about 75 famihes, with J. C. McLaughhn as pastor.
Grace Episcopal Church, located at Forestdale, was organized by Royal
Blake and others in 1842, with a membership of 12, and Rev. Mr. Perry as
rector. The church building was erected in 1851, at a cost of $5,000, and
is capable of seating 250 persons. The property has greatly depreciated in
value, the whole at present being valued at only $3,000. The society now
consists of about 25 members, with no regular pastor.
The Baptist Church, located at Brandon village, was organized, 1785, con-
sisting of twelve members. In 1789 Mr. Isaac Webb was called to ordina-
tion and settlement, the first pastor of the church and the first minister set-
tled in the town. His pastorate was followed by that of twelve others succes-
sively, the last of which has just terminated, the society being now without a
pastor. In its infancy the society held their meetings in dwelling houses, with
only occasional preaching. In 1 790 a log house was constructed and occupied
as a place of worship until 1800, when a commodious frame house was erected
and occupied until 1832, when their present substantial brick edifice was
completed and opened for use. The original cost of the structure, including
the expense of its late reconstruction and improvement, may be estimated at
$14,000, and the present value of church property, including buildings,
$15,000. The seating capacity of the building will accomodate about four
hundred and fifty persons. The present membership of the society is one
hundred and sixty-five
TOWN OF CASTLETON. 97
|BASTLET0N is located in the western part of the county, in lat. 43°
■^^ 34' and long. 3° 56' east from Washington, and bounded north by
w Hubbardton, east by Ira, south by Poultney, and west by Fairhaven,
and a part of Benson ; the charter was granted to Samuel Brown, of Stock-
bridge, Mass., by Gov. Wentvvorth, of New Hampshire, September 22,
1 76 1, and although granted to him there is no evidence that he ever acted
with the proprietors, or that he ever retained any interest in the township.
The original proprietors were principally from Sahsbury, Conn., of whom one
was named Castle, a heavy proprietor, and from whom the township
probably takes its name. In 1767, Cols. Amos Bird and Noah Lee surveyed
the town and allotted the usual seventy shares, with five reserved for public
purposes according to custom, and eleven years after this, March, 1777, it
was organized, with Jesse Belknap as first town clerk.
The surface is diversified by hill, mountain, plain, lake, river and rill, has a
salubrious climate, pure water, beautiful scenery, and in fact, every attribute
for making it what it is, one of the most desirable and important towns of the
county. The eastern portion is broken and mountainous, but still retains
many fertile valleys, while the verdure of the mountain sides gives sustenance
to large herds of cattle and sheep. Most of the western, and part of the
southern section is a plain of the most fertile soil, though in some places in-
tersected by slate-rock and ridges of slate-gravel. The rocks are chiefly
argillaceous, occasionally traversed by veins of quartz, and again alternating
with, or enclosing large masses of the latter rock; small quantities of second-
ary hme-stone are found in a few localities. Specimens of oxyd of manga-
nese are found in the south-east part of the town. The rocks are disposed
in elevated ridges in the eastern and northern sections, and in some places
abrupt and precipitous, but for most part covered with fertile arable soil.
The whole is watered by a number of streams, the most considerable of
which is Castleton River, which flows across the southern part, receiving the
waters of Lake Bomoseen, into Fairhaven, where it joins Poultney River.
Near the central part of Castleton it is joined by a mill-stream of some con-
siderable size, called North Britain Branch. The outlet of the lake has
sufficient fall to afford a very good mill-privilege. " Bomoseen " is supposed
to be an Indian name, meaning " pleasant water" ; apt and poetical it is too,
as indeed most Indian names are, for the lake and its surroundings are in-
deed beautiful. It lies in the western part, extending across nearly the whole
length of the town, and a short distance into Hubbardton ; it is eight miles
long, and two and a half wide at its greatest breadth, lying in a basin of
rocks, and in some parts of great depth. An island containing an area of
about ten acres is situated near the centre, covered with small trees and
shrubs, affording a charming summer resort for parties of pleasure, and
adding much to the beauty of the scenery.
Under the auspices of the Rutland County Historical Society and the
citizens of Rutland County, a celebration was held on Mason's Point, July 4,

On the east side of the lake is a very pleasantly situated hotel, called the
Pic-Nic House, connected by steamboat with the R. R. Depot at Hydeville,
which is much resorted to by pic-nic parties and pleasure seekers ; it was
built in 1876, and is still owned by Marquis Bixby.
In 1880 Castleton had a population of 3,605 '> '^ was divided into twelve
school districts, with fourteen common schools, employing four male and
nineteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $-,335.30. There were
533 pupils attending the schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the
year ending October 30th, was $2,667.79, with Mr. J. E. Metcalf, superin-
tendent.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal Co's R. R. crosses the southern part of
the town from east to west, and at Castleton village is intersected by the
Rutland and Washington R. R. from the south.
Castleton, a post village and station on the D. & H. C. Co's R. R., is very
pleasantly situated on the southern bank of Castleton River, on a level plain,
elevated about thirty feet above the stream. Main street, extending east
and west, crossed at right angles by South street, form the two principal
streets. The dwellings, about 150 in number, are remarkable for a uniform
neatness and convenience. In the village are four houses of worship, a
town-hall, a dozen or more stores, and the Rutland County Grammar School
building, beautifully situated at the head of Seminary street. (See Cut,
opposite page 97.)
As early as the year 1786, the citizens of Castleton initiated plans for the
establishment of a grammar school. The money was raised, a building was
erected a little to the east of the present site of the Methodist church, the
land having been donated for the purpose by Samuel Moulton, and a school
was begun.
October 15, 1787, the General Assembly passed the following Act: —
TOWN OF CASTLETON, 99
" Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont ; That
the place for keeping a County Grammar School, in and for Rutland County,
shall be at the house commonly known by the name of the New School
House, near Doctor William Wolcott's, in said Castleton : Provided, That
the County of Rutland shall not be at any cost or charge in completing
or repairing the same."
The school was continued in this building until 1800, when it was con-
sumed by fire, and it is authentically stated to have been the third school,
in order of time, of this grade, estabhshed within the limits of the State.
Another and a larger building was soon erected, and on October 29, 1805,
an Act was passed by the General Assembly, entitled " An Act confirming a
Grammar School in the county of Rutland," and the Rev. Elihu Smith, the
Hon. James Witherell, and the Messrs. Chauncy Langdon, Aruna W. Hyde,
Theophilus Flagg, Samuel Shaw, James Gilmore, Amos Thompson, John
Mason, Enos Merrill, and Isaac Clark, were constituted a board of trustees
under the title, " The Corporatioti of Rutland County Grammar School^
March 11, 1807, RoUin C. Mallory was elected twelfth trustee, thus filling
the Board.
Sec. 3 of the Act reads as follows : —
"And it is hereby further enacted, that the house in Castleton, lately
erected on the spot where stood the school-house for said County which was
lately consumed by fire, be, and is hereby established as a County Grammar
School-house for said County, so long as the inhabitants of said Castleton
shall keep the same, or any other house at the same place, in good repair for
the purpose aforesaid, to the acceptance of the County Court for said
County."
Save a limited amount of the subscriptions for the purchase of the brick
building now used by the school, and the rents accruing from Grammar
School lands, the entire expense incurred for buildings provided for the use
of this school has been met from the first by the generous citizens of
Castleton.
Rev. OHver Hulbert was preceptor of the school until 1807, when he re-
signed and settled as a minister in Ohio. Tradition reports that the school
was well sustained. R. C. Moulton succeeded him and was followed by
William Dickinson, Eleazer Barrows, who " was eminently popular and suc-
cessful," Rev. John L. Cazier and Henry Belknap.
In 1 81 5 the building was moved further back from the street and repaired
at much expense. In 1819, Rev. John Clancy, a graduate of Middlebury
College, taught for one year. In 1820, Mr. Henry Howe became preceptor.
He remained in charge six years, during which period the school increased in
numbers and greatly prospered. In 1S26, he became principal of an academy
at Canandaigua, N. Y., where he achieved a wide reputation. Rev. Edwin
Hall, D. D., afterwards president of Auburn Theological Seminary, N. Y.
succeded Mr. Howe.
In May, 1828, Mr. Solomon Foote, late U. S. Senator from Vermont, was
chosen preceptor. He entered upon the work with high aspirations. The

grammar school building becoming too strait for these, he conceived a plan
for a high school for boys. October 39, 1828, the style of the school was
changed by Act of the General Assembly to that of "The Vermont Classical
High School." Through the zealous efforts of Mr. Foote and his associate,
Mr. Fordice Warner, a spacious edifice was begun, one hundred and sixty
feet long and forty feet deep, with a massive stone basement, surmounted by
three stories of brick. Their means failing, Mr. A. W. Hyde generously
completed the building at a cost of upwards of thirty thousand dollars.
November ist, 1830, an Act was passed restoring the original corporate
name.
Mr. Foote did not long continue his school for boys, failing of sufficient
patronage, and the spacious building fell into the hands of Mr. Aruna W.
Hyde, who had furnished most of the means for its erection. To turn it to
a successful and paying purpose tested the business capacity of its owner to
the utmost. It was tried as a tavern, was used by the Medical College, and
was offered for sale to several religious denominations, for school purposes.
In the meantime the Grammar School was in a transition state, with frequent
change of principals, among whom were Rev. Truman M. Post, D. D., now
of St. Louis, Mo., Hon. John Meacham, late member of Congress for Ver-
mont, while the brick building remained unoccupied. Finally, in 1833, the
Trusteees of the Grammar School rented it for four years at an annual rental
of four hundred dollars.
Rev. Charles Walker, D. D., and Rev. Lucius F. Clark, were chosen
associate principals. From this date the school became a boarding as well
as a day school. Within one year the number of pupils increased to two
hundred. At the end of the year Mr. Walker returned to the ministry, while
Mr. Clark remained in charge until 1837, when, he became Professor of
Chemistry and Natural History in the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville.
Rev. Mr. Maeck, for a time his associate, succeeded him as principal.
March, 1838, the large brick building was purchased of Mr. A. W, Hyde
for sixteen thousand dollars. From that date it remained in possession of
the corporation until its purchase by Capt. Abel E. Leavenworth, May, 1881.
September 3, 1838, Rev. Edward J. Hallock was elected principal, and con-
tinued at the head of the school until the spring of 1856. Under his man-
agement the school had an unexampled career of prosperity. He rendered
valuable service in raising funds to cancel the debt of purchase, Mr. Hyde al-
lowing thereon three thousand dollars for every thousand raised by Mr. Hal-
lock. The number of pupils was also increased, reaching at one time as high
as two hundred and fifty. He afterwards died of cholera at St. Louis, Mo.,
and the Alumni of the school have since erected a fine monument to his
memory, in the cemetery at Castleton.
Rev. Azariah Hyde was principal for three years and was succeeded in
1859 by Rev. Stephen M. Knowlton, now of New Haven, Vermont, who had
been assistant to Mr. Hyde. In 1862, Miss Harriet N, Haskell, of Walds-
TOWN OF CASTLETON. lOl
boro, Maine, a former pupil of the school, was appointed principal, and con-
ducted the school, under the title of Castleton Seminary, with marked success,
for five years, when she resigned, to become principal of Monticello Semi-
nary, at Godfrey, 111. During her last year the Medical College building was
donated for the use of the school by Carlos S. Sherman, and moved upon its
present site, at the east end of the Seminary building.
February, 1857, a State Normal School for the First Congressional District
was established in connection with the Rutland County Grammar School, by
the Vermont Board of Education, the Trustees, on their part, expending sev-
eral thousand dollars in fitting up rooms for its use, and in the refurnishing of
the main building. Since that date the Medical College has been known as
the State Normal Building.
From this date until 1876 two schools were conducted by the same princi-
pals. Rev. R. G. Williams was in charge until 1874, and labored zealously
to compel success. Edward J. Hyde, A. M., succeeded him for one year,
1874-75. R^v- George A. Barrett followed for the year 1875-6. In August,
1876, the Seminary course was suspended and Walter E. Howard, A. M., be-
came principal, laboring zealously for two years and doing good work. In
1878 he accepted an appointment as principal of a normal school in Tennes-
see, and Judah Dana, A. M., for many years principal, respectively, of the
graded schools at Woodstock, Windsor and Rutland, was called to the charge
of the Normal School. He held the position for three years, and under his
charge the number of pupils was greatly increased.
In June, 1881, he was succeeded by Abel E. Leavenworth, A. M., a grad-
uate from the University of Vermont, who has had an experience of over a
quarter of a century as principal of classical and normal schools.
By the purchase of the property, the Trustees are relieved of the pecuniary
embarrassments that have weighed upon the school for several years, and
greatly hindered its prosperity, and permanency in the principalship is se-
cured. The general supervision of the school remains, as before, in the
"Corporation of Rutland County Grammar School," and in the State Super-
intendent of Education.

The Lake Shore Slate Cotnpany (quarries and manufactory, located at
West Castleton,) was established as the West Castleton R. R. & Slate Com-
pany in 1853. In 1878 the name was changed and it has since been known
as the Lake Shore Slate Co. The quarries are worked to the depth of one
hundred feet, and have been in operation with little cessation since '52, being
the oldest in this section. Their mill is 120x60 feet, and operated by water-
power, where the slate is manufactured into billiard table beds, mantel stock,
etc. They employ about 60 men in the quarries, etc., the product being to
the value of $30,000, which, taken together with other branches of their busi-
ness, will aggregate $40,000 per annum.

TOWN OF CASTLETON.
The first settlers in Castleton were Col. Amos Bird and Col. Noah Lee,
from Salisbury, Conn. The first visit made by them to the town was in the
year 1767, they being attended by one colored man. The summer of that
year was spent in exploring and surveying the township ; but no record of
what was done remains. During the season a log cabin was built on a
bluff in the south western part of the town, on what was afterwards known
as the Clark Farm. In the following autumn they returned to Salisbury. The
next year the same party of three returned with the purpose of making a
permanent settlement ; they made a small clearing but planted no seeds that
year. Col. Bird returned to Connecticut before winter, leaving Lee and the
colored man to occupy the log house alone. That winter was very severe
and they suffered much from the cold and scarcity of provisions. In the
spring of 1770 Bird returned with Ephraim Buel, Eleazer Bartholomew and
Zadock Remington, with their families, arriving in May. These were the
first and only settlers during that year, Bird and Lee not bringing their
families until later. Other famiUes followed, however, year by year, until in
1775 there were in the township about thirty famihes, and eight or ten un-
married men.
The first child born was Israel, son of Ephraim Buel, in 1771. Abigail
Eaton, daughter of John Eaton, born the same year, was the first female. '
The natural water power at the outlet of the lake, where Hydeville now
stands, early attracted the attention of the settlers, and as the south-west
part of the town abounded with excellent pine timber at convenient distance
from the outlet, a saw-mill was erected here in 1772, and the year following
a grist-mill. The saw-mill was built chiefly through the personal enterprise
of Col. Bird, who spared no exertions and shunned no expense in accom-
plishing his work, which proved to be his last. In the prosecution of it he
contracted fever, from which he died September 16, 1772, in the 30th year of
his age. This was a severe blow to the infant colony, who deeply mourned
his loss. His remains were interred on the banks of Castleton River, near
where the old turnpike crossed it, and not far from his former residence ; but in
1842 they were removed to the pubUc cemetery, with appropriate ceremonies,
and a substantial monument: —
"Erected by citizens of Castleton and friends as a tribute of respect to a
worthy man."
He was born at Litchfield, Conn., in 1742. The widow of Col. Bird re-
turned to Salisbury, Conn., soon after the death of her husband, and did not
again visit Castleton.
Col. Lee settled in the east part of the township, on what was afterward
known as the Gridley Farm. A log house was built near a beautiful spring of
water, where they lived until the commencement of the Revolutionary war.
Mrs. Lee then returned to Salisbury and was absent seven years, while her
husband was engaged in the affairs of the Revolution, in which he took a
prominent part. Among the proprietors of Castleton he was active, and in
104 TOWN OF CASTLETON.
the troubles under the government of New Hampshire, the Council of Safety,
and the claims of New York, he was vigilant. At the commencement of the
Revolution he took a decided part on the side of American Independence.
At the time Col. Ethan Allen mustered his men at Castleton for the capture
of Fort Ticonderoga, Col. Lee was prime mover of an expedition against
Skeenesboro, (now Whitehall), which left Castleton at the same time and
resulted in the capture of Major Skeene. From 1781 till the close of the
war he served in the capacity of captain in the Continental Army in Pennsyl-
vania. He was in the battle of Yorktown, and present at the surrender of
CornwaUis. Having received an honorable discharge at Albany, N. Y., he
returned to Castleton with his family, and there spent the remainder of his
days, mostly in agricultural pursuits. His physical constitution was remark-
ably good, and retained its vigor to a great age. His descendants are numer-
ous and widely separated.
Zadock Remington settled a half mile west of Castleton village in 1770.
He was a large proprietor and a prominent and highly respectable man,
noted for his eccentricities. It was a pecuharity of Mr. Remington, not to
return a direct answer to any question. When asked by a business man in
Troy, N. Y., about the pecuniary responsibility of a neighbor in Castleton,
he replied : — " You see Capt. L. is a very tall man ;" thus indirectly express-
ing his opinion, if any one was shrewd enough to guess his meaning. His
was the first frame house erected in Castleton, where he kept the first tavern.
He was a man of correct habits, and at an advanced age became decidedly
rehgious. He Hved to be 94 years of age.
Hyde Westover, one of the early settlers, served two months in the war of
18 1 2. He was at the battle of Plattsburgh, and also assisted in raising a
company of minute men at Hubbardton, who were drilled through the win-
ter, but in the spring were not called into service. ' Mr. Westover was also a
landlord, having kept the Westover House, at Castleton Corners. This is
situated on the old government turnpike, over which all the munitions of war
passed from Albany to Vergennes, in the war of 1812. At this time Mr.
Westover was assistant to Benjamin Carver, who kept a hotel on the corner
opposite where the Westover House now stands. There they entertained
Gen. Wade Hampton and many soldiers of his army, of whom the following
anecdote has been related by Mr. W. : — One morning Mr. Hampton was
taking the stage to leave for Vergennes, but seeing a lady in the coach,
ordered the driver to take her out. The driver, (also the proprietor), in-
informed him the lady was on her to way Burlington, to take care of her
father who was ill, and he could either ride with her or wait for the next
stage. The General concluded to ride with the lady.
From the Westover House can be seen the homes of Col. Noah Lee, Col.
Rifle Clark, Prof. Geo. N. Boardman, of Chicago Theological Seminary, Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith, a missionary massacred in Turkey, also the burying place
of Col. Bird, of whom it is said the first three boards sawed in his mill
were used in the construction of his coffin.
TOWN OF CASTLETON. I05
Samuel Moulton settled in Castleton from Simsbury, Conn., at an early
date. His son, Samuel, was born there in 1782, and died in 1838, at the age
of 56 years. From 18 10 to the time of his death he was postmaster. After
his death, his son Cullum was appointed, who held the office about ten years,
when he engaged in other business. William, also son of Samuel Jr., was
appointed in 1861, and has held the office ever since.
Ira Hartwell came to Castleton from Barre, Mass., when but four years of
age. He resided here 76 years, being 80 years of age when he died. Ora-
mel, son of Ira, and Calista, a daughter, wife of Asahel Pond, now reside in
the town. These were the only children, except one daughter who died at
the age of fifteen.
William Sanford came to Castleton in October, 1799, where he resided till
his death, March 24, 1866. His son. Dr. James Sanford, is still a resident
of Castleton village.
Nathaniel Northup came from SaHsbury, Conn., to Castleton, about the
year 1770. When the war of the Revolution broke out he returned to
Connecticut, but came back to Castleton again in 1777, where he resided
until his death, in 1828, aged 78 years. His son, Ira, born in Connecticut,
came to Castleton with Nathaniel in 1777, and continued his residence here
until his death, in 1844, at the age of 68 years. Nathaniel had a family of
seven children, all but one of whom lived most of their Hfe-time in Castleton.
Dr. Josiah N., son of Ira, has been a practicing physician in Castleton vil-
lage 38 years.
Rev. D. M. Knapen was born in Orwell, Vermont. His father was a
Congregational minister, but his son, though taught that doctrine, became
a Universalist preacher and located in Castleton about 25 years ago,
since which time he has been engaged in writing a very valuable work on
logarithms.
Jacob Wheeler came to Castleton in 1795. He served in the war of 1812,
and had five sons who served in the war of the Rebellion. He is now living,

Dwyer Babbitt was born in Clarendon in the year 1797, whence he removed
to Castleton in 1803, settling between Castleton Corners and Hydeville. In
1840 his house was destroyed by fire, burning four of his children to death,

inches in length. The skeleton was sent to the medical museum at Castle-
ton, where it was preserved.

Col. Isaac Clark was one of the early settlers in Castleton, where he mar-
ried a daughter of Governor Chittenden, and served as a colonel in the war
of i8i'2. The same horse that he used in the army, drew him to his grave.
The old homestead is still in the possession of the Clark family, having been
owned by them over a century.
James Adams came to Castleton village in the year 1800, where he was
engaged in mercantile pursuits for many years, dying in i860. His son,
Benjamin F., was born in 18 13, and is still a resident of the tow^n, as is also
another son, James.
Josiah G. Harris, from Pittsfield, Mass., came to Castleton in 1795, resid-

age of 83 years.
Chauncey Langdon was an early settler, and one of the first lawyers of
Castleton, where he was town representative for many years. Benjamin F.,
son of Chauncey, was born in 1798, studied law with his father and practiced
in the town until his death, which occurred May 31, 1862. Ebenezer, brother
of Chauncey, came to Castleton in 1792, and his son, Selah H., is still a resi-
dent of the town. The house now occupied by him stands upon the old Fort
ground, and was built by Walter Mcintosh, an early settler. Mr. Langdon
has in his possession an old camp kettle, once the property of Gen. Burgoyne.
Lemuel Ransom, from Connecticut, came to Castleton about the year
1800, locating on road 8, where he built the house now occupied by his grand-
son, Albert V. Ransom.
Chas. Lincoln came to Castleton, from Rhode Island, in 1785, locating on
road 8, upon the farm now owned by his son, D. S. Lincoln. Chas. died in
1826. D. S. was born in 1814, and has been a deacon of the Baptist Church
of Hubbardton 35 years.
Stukeley Thornton came to Danby from Rhode Island at an early date,
where his son Stukeley was born, and subsequently settled in the north part
of Ira in 1777, where he resided until 185 1, when he removed to Castleton,

in 1 8 18 came to Castleton in attendance upon the Rutland County Gram-
mar School, and was afterwards employed as clerk in the store of John
Meacham, where he eventually became a partner. In 1836 he purchased a
stage line of E. B. Dewey, and afterwards owned a Hne from Troy to Bur-
lington, and from Rutland to Whitehall; he was also one of the 'original trus-
tees of the Grammar School appointed by the Legislature. In 1845 he
removed to Hydeville, where he built up a flourishing village. He was killed
by a locomotive at Hubbardton road- crossing, near the ground where the
Fort once stood.
Brewster Higley was one of the pioneers of Castleton, having located upon
the farm now owned by his great grandson, A. E. Higley, who is now ex-
tensively engaged there in the breeding of blooded stock.
The house now occupied by John Howe, on Main street, was built by
Myron Mcintosh, previous to the year 1800. The house east of the village.
now owned by H. L. Baxter, was built by Sylvanus Guernsey, in 1800.
Guernsey came to Castleton from Litchfield, Conn., with his father, Solomon,
in 1784, he being then but fifteen years of age. His father built a brick
house and store where the Bomoseen House now stands ; he also dug a well
at the west end of the house, which has never failed and is now used by the
towns-people. Solomon died in 1789. His grand-daughter, daughter of Syl-
vanus, Mrs. Menira Caswell, is still a resident of the village, at the age of 75
years. Her husband died here June 30, 1881.
The capture of Ticonderoga and the invasion of Canada which followed,
left western Vermont comparatively secure for a time; but the retreat of
the American forces up the lake in 1777, laid the whole region open again
to depredations from British and Indians. Castleton, the frontier town, was
the rendezvous for recruits for Ticonderoga at this time, for which a most
earnest appeal was made, as the British were seen to be closing around the
fortress. Some 20 recruits were gathered here in July, 1777 ; a part of the
citizens of Castleton, waiting an increase of their number, so as to make it
safe for them to go to Ticonderoga. On the 6th of July, the day previous
to the battle of Hubbardton, there occurred quite a lively skirmish in Castle-
ton between these recruits and a British foraging party. About half a mile
east of Castleton village, on the north-west corner of the east and west road
and the Hubbardton road, stood the house of George Eoote, where religious
worship was held on the Sabbath. Upon the corner opposite was a school-
house. A mile and a half north of this, on the Hubbardton road, lived Capt.
John Hall. Still further north, on what is known as the Ransom Farm, was
a building appropriated to recruits. On the Sabbath, July 6th, while the
people were gathered for religious worship, the alarm was given that the
enemy was approaching. At the same time the recruits came flying down
the road and took shelter in the school-house and in the house of Mr. Foote,
the women and children taking shelter in the cellar. There was a brisk
firing from both sides for a considerable time, but the casualties were few, as
lo8 TOWN OF CASTLETON.
the one party was covered by the buildings, and the other by the trees of the
forest. Soon there was a closer conflict. Capt. Williams, a volunteer from
Guilford, Vt, was wounded in the groin, but would not yield ; and, in a
hand to hand fight, dealt a heavy blow upon a British lieutenant. He was
then bayoneted through the body and expired in a few moments. Capt,
John Hall received a shot in the leg, and as he lay profusely bleeding, called
for water, and as his wife was bringing it to him, a tory named Jones kicked
the dish from her hands. Capt. Hall died of the wound not long after.
One of the British infantry was mortally wounded and another shot through
the body, but recovered through the kind attentions of Mrs. Hall — rendering
good for evil. One of Capt. WiUiams' sons was wounded in the heel in the
early part of the engagement, and fled to the woods. He finally reached
Rutland in a famishing condition. Two sons of Capt. Hall, Elias and
Alpheus, George Foote and others, were taken prisoners and taken to
Ticonderoga, but made their escape after a few weeks. The body of Capt.
WiUiams, wrapped in a blanket, without a coffin, was rudely buried at the
foot of a tree near by. Forty-four years after, his remains were disinterred
and the bones carefully gathered and laid together in exact order, and re-
buried in the village grave-yard with appropriate ceremonies. Thus ended
the skirmish at Castleton, which was followed on the morrow by the memor-
able battle of Hubbardton.
The Baptist Church of HydeviUe was organized in 1849 by A. Allen, S.
Whitlock, and a few others, with Rev. Mr. Smith as pastor. The society
was prosperous for a time, but then languished and was not able to support
itself; until finally Dea. James Williams died in 1879, bequeathing the
society his property. Thus it now has about $15,000 at interest, which is to
be used for the support of the Church.
The Episcopal Church of HydeviUe was organized in 1848, by I. Davy, P.
W. Hyde and E. Wallace, with Rev. Mr. Bailey as rector. Services were
first held in the school-house ; but a large building belonging to Mr. Hyde
was subsequently fitted up for this purpose, which was destroyed by fire in
the year 1853, when the present edifice was erected in its stead, where
services have since been held. They have no settled rector at present.
The Congregational Church at Castleton village was organized in 1784,
by Job Swift, of Bennington, with a membership of eighteen and Mattheus
Cazier as pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1790, which
was followed by the present one in 1833. The present building is a large,
commodious structure, capable of comfortably seating 800 persons, and cost
about $7,000.00. The whole church property is now valued at $10,000.00.
The society numbers 150, with Rev. Edward T. Hooker, pastor.
The Methodist Church of Castleton Village was organized in 1824, by
Jonathan Eaton. At its organization the society had but four members,
with Rev. C. P. Clark as pastor, but it has since increased to 116, with Rev.
J. P. Metcalf for their present pastor. The church building was erected in

original cost of the house was $3,000.00, which, together with the grounds,
is now valued at $5,000.00.
St. John's the Baptist Catholic Church, located at Castleton village, was
organized in 1834, by their first pastor, Rev. John Daly, with a membership
of fifty, which has since increased to 200. The present building is a neat,
comfortable structure, capable of seating about 260 persons, erected at a cost
of $13,000.00, and was converted into a Cathohc church in 1879. Its present
value, including property, is estimated at about $15,000.00. The Rev. P. J.
O'Carroll, of Fairhaven, is the present pastor of the society.
The Second Aihent Church, located at Castleton village, was organized un-
der the labors of Eld. Milon Grant, in i860. At its organization it had about
35 members, with Rev. Albion Ross as first pastor; this membership has
since increased to 100, with Geo. W. Wallace for their present pastor. The
church building was erected in 1861, at a cost of $3,000.00, and will seat
about 450 persons. Regular services are sustained, and the Church is flour-
ishing and free from debt.
The Calvinistic Methodist Church, located in the south-west part of the
town, was organized by the Rev. William Hughes, of Utica, N. Y., in 1862,
with a membership of 20, and Rev. Daniel Rowland pastor. This member-
ship has since increased to 40, with Rev. Hugh Davis for their present pastor.
The house of worship was erected in 1868, costing about $4,000.00, and will
seat about 200 persons. The value of the property has depreciated during
the last few years, so that the whole property is now worth only about
$2,500.00.
St. Joseph's Catholic Church, located at West Castleton, was organized by
Rev. J. P. O'Carroll, of Fairhaven, in 1879, with ^ membership of 150, and
has remained about the same number since. The church building was erect-
ed the same year, a neat litde structure, capable of seating about 200 persons.
It cost $2,500.00, and is now valued, including property, at about $3,000.00.
»HITTENDEN lies in the north-western part of the County, in lat. 43°
1^ 44' and long. 4° 10' east from Washington, and is bounded north by
W Goshen and Rochester in Addison County, east by Pittsfield, south by
Mendon, and west by Pittsford and Brandon. It was granted the 14th and
chartered the i6th of March, 1780, to Gershom Beach and sixty-five associ-
ates, and still retains its original limits, together with one-half the township of
Philadelphia, which was annexed Nov. 2, 1816, so that it now really contains
a township and a half, or since the annexation, about fifty-four square miles of
territory. The town was organized March 30, 1789, with Ebenezer Drury,
moderator; Nathaniel Ladd, clerk; and Nathan Nelson, Nathaniel Ladd and
Solomon Taylor, selectmen. The name "Chittenden" being derived from
Thomas Chittenden, the first governor of the State, probably because of its
being the first grant issued by the General Assembly of Vermont.
no TOWN OF CHITTENDEN.
The surface is very broken and mountainous, some parts of it so much so
as to be incapable of tillage or habitation, the whole eastern portion being
very sparsely settled. The western portion, however, is quite thickly popula-
ted and contains some very fine farms. The land is watered by several
small streams, the largest of which are East Creek and Furnace River. East
Creek rises near the central part of the town, flows a south-westerly course
and is discharged into Otter Creek, near Rutland village. Furnace River
rises in the north-western part of the town, flows a south-westerly course and
empties into Otter Creek in Pittsford. A branch of White River and its tribu-
taries water the portion lying east of the Green Mountains. There are also
two small ponds in the town, but do not seem to be of sufiicient importance
to acquire the dignity of a name.
The scenery is varied and pleasing, as is the case in all Green Mountain
districts. Among the mountains are found several quite considerable cav-
erns, that lend a charm of mystery and an air of romance to the sterile peaks.
The rocks are those peculiar to the Green Mountain range, mostly gneiss,
among which is found two beds of iron ore and one of manganese, neither of
which is worked at present. As early as the year 1792, there was a furnace
for smelting the ore, in operation, situated on Furnace River, built by a Mr.
Keith, of Boston, but it has long since been abandoned. Manganese is used
largely as a coloring material in the manufacture of glass and enamels; but its
greatest value is in the manufacture of steel. It is of a grayish-white color
presents a metallic briUiancy, is capable of a high degree of poHsh, and is so
hard as to scratch glass and steel; and when mixed with iron, it gives that
metal increased elasticity and hardness,— hence its use in the manufacture of
steel.* The distance of the Chittenden mines from a railroad has caused
them to languish, for reason of the expensive transportation of the ore.
In some of the mountain valleys, and in the basins of Furnace River and
East Creek, are located many excellent farms. The soil is an alluvial deposit,
and produces wheat, barley, oats, rye, Indian corn and potatoes. But the
greater wealth of the town consists in its herds and flocks, the principal ex-
ports being wool and products of the dairy.
The timber is that common to Green Mountain districts, namely, beech
birch and maple, interspersed with pine, hemlock, spruce, elm, and black and
white ash ; some of the trees attaining an enormous growth. One old elm
standing on a narrow strip of land between Chittenden proper and what was
formerly Philadelphia, measures six feet in diameter at a distance of forty-
eight feet from its base. The whole length of its trunk was sixty-eight feet,
having three hmbs, either of which was three feet in diameter. Lumbering
is carried on to some considerable extent, the first mill for its manufacture
being erected in the early part of the present century ; and from the maple,
large quantities of sugar are manufactured each year.
There has been, from time to time, about twenty thousand dollars expend-
ed in making and repairing roads and building bridges, which amount was

raised by direct taxation on all the land in the town. Three public roads
have been built across the mountains. The first, known as the Green road,
passed from Rutland, through Pittsford, over Thomas hill, and through "New
Boston" to Pittsfield. This was the old mail and stage route from Rutland
to Pittsfield, and was closed early in the history of the town. The second,
known as the North Mountain road, passed from "New Boston" to Pittsfield,
a short distance north of where the Green road crossed the mountains. The
third, and the one over which the daily mail is now carried, passes from Rut-
land through "Slab City" to the old turnpike, thence to Pittsfield.
In 1880 the population of the town was 1,092. It was divided into nine
school districts and contained nine common schools, employing one male
and twelve female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $983.48. There
were 209 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools
for the year ending Oct. 30, was $1,106.27, with Mr. Riley V. Allen super-
intendent.
Chittenden is entirely a rural district having no villages. The post office
is located at Chittenden, a small hamlet in the south-west part of the town,
on East Creek.

power, has one large circular saw and manufactures 5,000 feet of lumber per
day.
T. B. &= M. L. Cheedle's saw mill, located on road 9, is operated by
water-power and manufactures about 400,000 feet of lumber per annum.
Naylor 6r Co's saw mill, located on road 5, is operated by water-power.
It has one lumber saw and five small saws for slitting boards, etc., and
employs four men, manufacturing 50,000 feet of lumber per annum.
J'o/in Leffcrfs saw mill, located off road 21, is operated by water-power,
has one lumber saw and one clapboard saw, turning lathes, planers, etc.,
employs five men and manufactures 300,000 feet of lumber and 100,000
feet of clapboards yearly. Steam power will be added to the mill the coming
season, which will increase its capacity to 1,000,000 feet per annum.
The first settlers of Chittenden were Nathaniel Ladd, John Bancroft, Ger-
shom Beach, Jonathan Dike, Solomon Taylor, Nathaniel Nelson, OHver
Bogue, Zeb. Green, John Cowe, Jacob Walton and Asa Farrar, all of
whom settled in the southern part of the township. Of the sixty-six pro-
prietors, only four, Solomon Taylor, John Bancroft, Daniel Barnard and
Nathaniel Ladd, ever setled in the town.
The first town meeting was held at the house of Solomon Taylor, March
30, 1789, with Nathaniel Ladd as clerk. Ladd settled on the farm now
owned by H. F. Baird ; Anson Ladd, his son, was the first child born in the
town. The first saw mill was built by Pickley & Nevins in 1808, and located
on the site now owned by Jesse L. Billings. Since that time twelve others
have been built, most of which have been in successful operation for many
years. At an early period of the town's history a grist mill was erected in
TOWN OF CHITTENDEN.
" New Boston," and another at " Forge Flat," though the latter was never
put in operation. The first blacksmith shop was built by Andrew Barnard,
in 1802. The first general training ground was in " New Boston," on the
land now owned by Wood & Eayres, of Pittsford.
Jonathan Dike and Solomon Taylor located in the northern part of the
town. They cut and stacked hay the first two or three summers on the
Beaver meadows, drawing it three miles over Thomas hill in the winter, on
hand-sleds. They used to go, in common with others of their townsmen, to
Bennington with a portion of their grain for grinding. Dike, on one occa-
sion, brought from Bennington a bushel of salt for which he was offered a
bushel of corn for each pint.
One of the early settlers was the Indian, " Capt. John." He was with
the French and Indians at the time Gen. Braddock marched the EngHsh
army through the wilderness to attack the French at Fort Duquesne. He
fired at Washington three times, and, faiHng to hit him, concluded he was
invincible, and after the battle, left the French army and joined the English,
where he was subsequently one of Washington's Hfe guard. Capt. John left
in Chittenden a stone pestle, which is now in the Vermont State Cabinet.
He died and was buried in Mendon, but his bones subsequently graced the
office of a surgeon and M. D. in Rutland, and later were in an M. D's office
in Pittsford, where they remained until recently.
Dan Barnard, an original proprietor, was one of the Insurrectionists who
attempted to prevent the County Court from holding its session at Rutland
on the 22d day of November, 1788.
Walcott H. Keeler, a representative from the town, introduced and influ-
enced the passage of a bill abolishing imprisonment for debt.
Caleb Churchill died a few years ago, aged 99 years, 5 months and 1 1
days. He was one of the early settlers in the northern part of the town, in
that portion formerly included in Philadelphia. He located upon the farm
now owned by Patrick Mullin.
Chittenden, in common with other townships
of the county, suffered much during its early his-
tory from the depredations of bears and wolves.
But the men, women, boys and girls, without
regard to age or sex, often carried terror into
^ the ranks of these " pests of the wilderness."
One of the modes of warfare was to surround
("Pest OF THE Wilderness.") and make them prisoners, on which occasions
the women and children were called into active service. On one occasion,
in the year 1810, the howUng of wolves on Spruce Peak was heard, about
ten o'clock in the evening. On the following morning, five wolves found
themselves surrounded by men and women, boys and girls, armed with guns
and pitch-forks. Four of the wolves were taken prisoners. A bear was
once taken near the " Ladd " road, between North and South Chittenden,
which weighed over six hundred pounds.

The oldest person ever residing in the town was Aaron Beach, who died
about the year 1816, aged 102 years.
Jonathan Powell came from Sullivan, N. H., in Sept. 1S08, and settled on
the farm now owned by Almon Powell.
Samuel Harrison, an early settler, was born at Norton, in the county of Der-
by, England, April 26, 1756. About the year 1780, he immigrated to Pittsfield,
Mass., when he married Rebecca Keeler, and subsequently removed to Chit-
tenden in 1789, and located upon the farm now owned by William MuUin.
Jeffrey A. Boyne settled at an early date, in the north part of the town,
upon the farm now owned by Lewis I. Winslow. This farm is now said to
be the best in the township, and one of the best in the county. It is pleas-
antly located, overlooking the Otter Creek valley, and bringing to view some
of the most beautiful scenery in the county. Along down the valley, a dis-
tance of seven miles, can be seen the busy little village of Sutherland Falls,
and still farther to the south, a distance of twelve miles, the village of Rut-
land and its surroundings. Mr. Winslow took the farm some fifteen years
ago, since which time he has been constantly improving it and its surround-
ings. A small stream winding its way from the mountains to Otter Creek,
affords water power whereon he has constructed a mill which grinds all his
grain, as well as several thousand bushels for his neighbors, each year. The
same power also does all the threshing, wood-sawing and churning for the
farm. A large spring situated about 166 rods north-east of the house, furn-
ishes clear, cold water, never above 45° in temperature, in an abundant sup-
ply. Among his other stock, Mr. Winslow keeps sixty-five head of cattle.
Joseph Atwood, when seventeen years of age, removed from Mexico, N. Y.,
and settled in Chittenden, upon what is now known as the Churchill estate,
in the year 1803. His brothers, Billings and John, settled here at about the
same time.
Near the hamlet of Chittenden, in a beautiful Httle valley, is situated the
homestead of the notorious Eddy family, which at one time created such an
excitement with their alleged " spiritual manifestations and materializations."
Their seances became so notorious and were attended with so much mystery,
that the place was visited by hundreds, and their feats were discussed so much
in scientific circles, as to render the name of Chittenden noted.
The father, Zephaniah Eddy, a farmer Hving at Weston, Vt., married one
Julia Ann Macombs, a girl of Scotch descent, who was born in the same
town. About the year 1846 Mr. Eddy sold his farm and removed to the
present homestead. Mrs. Eddy claims to inherit from her mother the gift of
"far-seeing," for she not only had previsions of future events, but also claimed
the faculty of seeing the denizens of the mysterious "nether world," from
whom she claimed to receive visits. To them was born three children, Wil-
liam, Horatio and Mary. They also inherited this gift of their mother, and
it is to them the Eddy family owes its notoriety, they having traveled all over
the country giving spiritual seances. They induced many to believe in their

supernatural gifts, but the majority of people pronounce their feats mere
trickery and fraud.

Baird, to the present time. Two senators, both of whom were born and
educated in Chittenden, have represented the county in the State Legislature,
with abihty and honor.
Jonathan Woodard and Josiah Pierson served in the Revolutionary war, and
Thaddeus Baird and Israel Hewett served in the war of 181 2. Of the late
war, Wallace Noyes and Cyrus Whitcomb died at or near Vicksburg. Azro
P. Noyes was killed near Richmond, in Kilpatrick's raid. Martin Clark, C.
P. Barnard, Lewis Martin, L. L. Baird, Valorious Bump, and VVilber F. Free-
man died in the army.
About the year 18 10, the Episcopal Methodists organized a society, but
some dissensions arising soon after among its members, the presiding elder,
(Draper,) disbanded the society and burned the class-book, together with the
society records. From that time until 183 1, the few sectarians of the town
united with the CongregationaUsts of Pittsford. During this year the Epis-
copal Methodists organized a society and erected a church building, and
the year following, the Congregationahsts built a church edifice, though both
of these societies have become extinct. The Methodist property is owned by
the Wesleyan Methodists, and the Congregational house is used by the so-
ciety of Grangers. There are two Episcopal churches of more recent origin,
in the south part of the town, where meetings are occasianally held.
The North Chittenden Church, (Wesleyan Methodist,) located at Forge
Flats, was organized by Rev. J. H. Canfield, on March 20, 185 1, with a mem-
bership of eleven, which during the first fourteen months increased to forty;
but has since decreased again to about thirty. The building will seat about
150 persons, and was erected in 1832, at a cost of $500,00; but its value has
since decreased, so that the whole Church property is now only worth $300.00.
Rev. S. B. Town is at present their pastor.

into 70 shares, chartered to Caleb Williams and others. Just at what date
the town was organized is not known, the first records extant, being dated
1778, at which meeting Stephen Arnold was clerk, and Levi Calvin first
selectman. In 1854, by an Act of the Legislature, a portion of the western
part of the town was annexed to the town of Ira.
The township is entirely an agricultural region, without villages ; the in-
habitants being almost exclusively devoted to farming. The landscape is
diversified by mountain and valley, hill, river and dale. From the Quarter-
line road, No. 5 on the map, may be had one of the finest views in the
county. The mountains, mantled with forests, the hills covered with verdure
whereon graze the many flocks, and the peaceful valleys nestled between,
covered with fields of waving grain, dotted completely over with farm-houses,
bring before the eye of the beholder a panorama of rare beauty, at the same
time impressing him with a sense of the wealth and thrift of the people.
Extending through the town from north to south is a range of hills called
West Mountain, which, together with high lands in the extreme north-west
and south-east portions of the town, are the highest elevations.
Several considerable streams irrigate the soil, of which Otter Creek, flow-
ing through the central part of the town from south to north, is the largest.
Parallel with, and distant west about if miles from Otter Creek, flows Tin-
mouth River, traversing the entire length of the town. Cold River, in the
north, and Mill River in the south part, enter the town from Shrewsbury,
flowing a westerly course, emptying into Otter Creek. Numerous other small
streams are situated in different parts of the town, lending beauty to the land-
scape and richness to the soil.
Mineral springs are found in several localities, whose waters are celebrated
for medicinal purposes. In the south-west part of the town is found quite a
large cavern, called "Clarendon Cave." It has three diff'erent apartments or
rooms, which extend back into the rocks some 200 feet or more. The first
and largest room is thirty-five feet long, ten feet wide and from ten to twelve
feet high. Large rocks, resembling chairs and benches, have been ranged
around the apartment by Dame Nature, producing a very weird effect. From
this room you descend a ladder about ten feet, and are ushered into the sec-
ond apartment. This is about ten feet square and from ten to twelve feet in
height. The third is still eight feet lower than the second, and about eight
feet square. In the centre of it is a "boihng spring," the water bubbling up,
resembhng very much the boiling of a cauldron.
Clarendon is bounded north by Rutland, east by Shrewsbury, south by
Walhngford and Tinmouth, and west by Ira. It had a population in 1880
of 1,106.
During the year ending Sept. 30, 1880, the town was divided into eight
school districts, and had eight common schools, employing four males and
ten female teachers, whose salaries amounted to $1,165.30. The number of
pupils attending school was 207, and the total amount expended for school
purposes, was $1,301.02. G. H. Morse was the superintendent of schools.
Il6 TOWN OF CLARENDON.
The Rutland Railroad enters the town near the centre of its eastern
boundary, traversing its north-eastern corner, while the Bennington «Sr Rutland
Railroad passes through the eastern part from north to south.
It contains four post-offices, viz : Clarendon, East Clarendon, North Clar-
endon and Clarendon Springs. The latter is quite a little hamlet, made noted
by the mineral springs found there, which are resorted to by hundreds each
year in quest of health or pleasure. They are situated in the north-west part
of the town, on the wcbt side of Tinmouth River. Tradition says they were
first discovered in 1776, by one Asa Smith, who resided in the eastern part
of the town. He is reported to have " dreamed" of a spring in the western
part of the town, and, full of faith, started through the wilderness in search
of the spring that would furnish water that would restore him to health. Ar-
riving at this spot, he recognized it as the one he had seen in his dream, and
accordingly, at once drank of the water, and bound clay saturated with it upon
his swollen and inflamed limbs. The scrofulous humor, which had been a
source of annoyance, at once yielded to the potent influence of the water,
and he was soon restored to perfect health. The Clarendon House, located
at the Springs, is a large hotel owned by B. Murray & Sons, capable of ac-
commodating one hundred guests, and has also three cottages capable of ac-
commodating one hundred more. In front of the hotel and cottages is a
fine park, filled with shade trees, and in the center, a pond and fountain, throw-
ing a shaft of water thirty feet high. (See page 320.)
A. 6^ B. E. Hortoris mills, located at North Clarendon, are run by water
power, and embrace a saw, grist and cider mill in one building. They em-
ploy eight men and manufacture 200,000 feet of lumber, 15,000 cheese boxes
and ten car loads of chair-stock annually.
The Marshall Cheese Factory, located at North Clarendon, receives the
milk of 360 cows and manufactures 100,000 lbs. of cheese per annum.
N. S. Walkers' s cheese factory is located on his farm, near Chippen Hook.
He received during the past season, the milk from 200 cows, and manufac-
tured 50,000 lbs. of cheese.
Tradition says that Clarendon derived its name from a man by that name,
who was the first person buried within the limits of the town. The first set-
tlers were EUsha Williams, Samuel Place, Elkanah Cook, Benjamin Johns
and Randall Rice, who came from Rhode Island and Connecticut in the
spring of 1768. Selecting locations on which to settle, in different parts of
the town, they returned to their homes the following fall, coming back to
Clarendon again the next spring, bringing their families with them. It was
then, the spring of 1769, that the first permanent settlement was made, Rice
and Johns, with their families, locating near the central part of the town, on
the east side of Otter Creek, and were joined the same year by Stephen Ar-
nold, Place, Cook and WilHams, locating in the north part of the town, then
known as Socialborough. These families were soon followed by Jacob and
Amos Marsh, and their nephews Daniel and William Marsh, Whitefield Fos-

ter and Oliver Arnold, who settled in the north part of the town, on the east
side of Otter Creek. They brought with them but Uttle, except one cow, and
depended for subsistence upon their rifles and fishing-rods. They all worked
together, detaiUng one of their number each week to milk the cow and pro-
cure the game and fish. At the approach of winter, their united labors had
erected five log houses and cleared a sufficient piece of land with each for
crops the coming season. Therefore all except WiUiam returned to their
homes and brought their families to the settlement the following spring. Wil-
liam went north, intending to go to Montreal, and was never heard of after.
Previous to 1771, James Rounds and John Hill had taken lots on the east
side of the creek and commenced improvements. Thus, ten families were all
that had settled in the town previous to 17 71. Several families had settled
farther south, on what is known as the " South Flats."
In 1772 and '73 settlement was commenced in the south-east part of the
town by Ichabod Walker, a Mr. Nichols and Mr. Osborn. These famihes
had all left their homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut, and settled in
Clarendon, in the midst of a dense wilderness, with the intention of making it
their permanent home. They therefore were, quite naturally, anxious to
procure sound titles to their land; so many of them purchased deeds under
both grants.
During the land title controversy, and especially during the eight years' war
with Great Britain, titles to land in the western part of Vermont were de-
cidedly insecure. Claimants, under New York, wouH eject those holding
under New Hampshire, while the New Hampshire men would in turn eject
the New Yorkers. This state of things could only result in quarrels and ex-
pensive litigations, which lasted until long after the close of the war, and
seemed to be peculiarly bitter in Clarendon, until settled by the Legislature.
This was done by an Act called the "Quieting Act," originated and advocated
by Daniel Marsh, who was a member of the Legislature from the town of
Clarendon for quite a number of years.
WiUiam Crossman immigrated from Easttown, Mass., in 1777, setthng in
Brandon. From thence he moved to Clarendon in 1781, settling on the farm
now owned by W. R. Crossman. William was a revolutionary soldier. While
living in Brandon, Burgoyne came down as far as his place and took his oxen
and all his grain from him, leaving him destitute.
John Weeks came from Washington, Conn., in 1787, and settled in Claren-
don, on the farm now owned by John Cleveland.
Caleb Hall, an old settler in the town, was born in Dunbarton, N. H., and
came to Clarendon when he was fourteen years of age, where he resided until
his death, at the age of 74. Mr. Hall, in his time, was one of the most active
and prominent men of the town, held several town offices, and was for a long
time postmaster at Clarendon Flats.
Jonathan Parker settled in the north part of the town in 1785. Mr. Par-
ker was a wealthy and influential man, owning at one time nearly the whole
of the town of Mendon, which for a long time was called Parkerstown.
Il8 TOWN OF CLARENDON.
Silas Hodges, a surgeon of Washington's army, settled at an early date, in
Clarendon, on the farm now owned by Hannibal Hodges.
James Eddy settled in town at an early date, coming from Rhode Island.
He, for a long time, acted as a scout for the Colonies during the Revolution,

selectman several years, town treasurer and justice of the peace for more
than twenty years, and represented the town in the Legislature two years.
Lewis M. Walker, son of Lewis Jr. and grandson of Lewis, was born on the
old homestead Feb. 24, 1808, where he still resides. Mr. Walker was

has served the town as hster and justice several years, and in the Legislature
in 1857 and 1858.
Silas Whitney, the first selectman of the town, elected in 1778, came from
Connecticut in 1770, setthng on the farm now owned by L. Holden.
Isaac Tubbs immigrated to the town from Connecticut about the year
1780, setthng on the farm now owned by Daniel Tubbs. Isaac built a tan-
nery on the farm, where he manufactured leather for more than forty years.
Daniel Colvin, from Rhode Island, settled in the town, on the farm now
owned by Benjamin Fisk, in 1780. Mr. Colvin worked on his farm during
the summer months, returning to Rhode Island in the fall, where he would
follow the sea until the next ssason.
Ehphalet Spofiford was born in Temple, New Hampshire, in 1773.
He settled in the north-east corner of Clarendon when it was
nearly a wilderness, cleared a small tract of land and built a log house,
in which he raised a family of eleven children. He died in i860, aged 87.
He was a descendant of John Spofiford, one of the first settlers of Rowley,
Mass., in 1638, and of whom the following ancedote is told: During his
residence at Rowley, a drought was followed by a great scarcity of food, and
he repaired to Salem to purchase corn for himself and neighbors. The mer-
chant to whom he applied, foreseeing a greater scarcity and higher prices,
refused to open his store to supply his wants. Having pleaded the neces-
sities of himself and others in vain, he cursed him to his face ; but on being
immediately taken before a magistrate, charged with profane swearing, he
repUed that he had not cursed profanely, but as a religious duty, and quoted
Prov. xi, 26, as his authority: "He that withholdeth corn from the hungry,
the people shall curse him." He was immediately acquitted, and by the
summary power of the courts in those days, the merchant was ordered to
deliver him as much corn as he wished to pay for.

Increase Mosely was a judge of the Supreme Court in 1784, and president
of the first council of censors in 1786.
After the Revolution, among the returning settlers was Daniel Marsh, who it
appears took protection papers from the British and sympathized with the
enemy. On his return to Clarendon, Dec. 16, 1782, the town "voted to
receive him as a good, wholesome inhabitant." He attempted to get posses-
sion of his old farm, a part of which he found occupied by Silas Whitney. A
lawsuit followed in which Marsh was twice beaten. He then appealed to the
Legislature, which passed an Act in June, 1785, giving him the possession
of the farm " until he had an opportunity of recovering his betterments," for
which Act the Legislature was severely censured by the first council of cen-

sors, of which Judge Increase Mosely, of Clarendon, was president. JDuring
the struggle betvyeen Marsh and Whitney for the possession of the disputed
land, one party would put a tenant into the house, and the other party would
put him out by force and put in another tenant, who in turn would be put out
by force by the other party. On one occasion, Whitney, with several hands,
mowed a large quantity of grass on the disputed meadow, and Marsh, obtain-
ing help, drew it all oft", while Whitney was eating his dinner. This is but
one instance of the many quarrels in which conflicting land titles involved the
settlers of the fertile lands of Clarendon — so fertile that Whitney, visiting his
relatives in Rhode Island, claimed that on the Clarendon intervales he could
raise ears of corn ten feet long ; and in the following summer, when visited by
his friends who wished to see his long corn, he was prepared to make good
his boast, and showed them several ears over ten feet long, suspended from
the ridge-pole of his corn barn, which he had made that length by joining and
l)inning short ears together.
Previous to 1817, one Sheperson owned and run a blast furnace at West
Clarendon, about two miles S. W. of Chippen Hook. Stoves were cast about
that year.
At what date the first school house was erected is not known. It was very
early in the settlement, however, and as there was but little money in circula-
tion, teachers were paid in grain. The wood was furnished by assessing a
certain number of feet to a scholar, to be delivered by lot. There were four
school districts in West Clarendon in 1826, where there were but two in 187 1.
The earliest records of " District No. i, West Clarendon," say that at a school
meeting held June 27, 1808, —
" Voted to build a school-house, that it stand in the corner where the road
that comes from Lewis Walker's interferes with the road that leads to the
mill." " Voted that the property be paid for in grain by the first of June
next."
The first church erected in the town was of Baptist denomination, built
about 1780, in the east part of the town, followed by another of the same de-
nomination in the west part of the town. Both these have years ago ceased
to exist, and the buildings long since went to decay.
The Congregational Chureh at Clarendon was organized February 18,
1823, by Rev. Henry Hunter and Rev. Stephen Martindale, Mr. Hunter be-
ing the first pastor, and was dismissed October, 1827. At the organization
the Church consisted of ten members, which has increased up to the present
time to sixty-nine. Has a flourishing Sabbath school, a young people's union
and ladies' aid society for the study of sacred history and for benevolent pur-
poses. The building was originally built of brick in 1824. In 1859 it was
thoroughly rebuilt, and finished very neatly inside, and is now capable of
comfortably seating 250 persons. Rev. George H. Morss is the present
pastor.
122 TOWN OF DANBY.
ImIaNBY is located in the extreme southern part of the County, in lat. 43''
'^^ 21' and long. 40" i' east from Washington, and is bounded north by
w Tinmouth and a small part of Wallingford, east by Mt. 'J'abor, south by
Dorset in Bennington County, and west by Pavvlet. It was granted to Jona-
than WiUard and sixty-seven others from Nine Partners, Dutchess Co. N. Y.,
the charter bearing date Aug. 27, 1761, being issued one year after it was
petitioned for by the above mentioned parties. In area it is a trifle over six
miles square, or about 24,690 acres.
The charter bears the usual restrictions and reservations incident to all the
Wentworth charters, the tract being bounded therein as follows: — "Begin-
ning at the north-west corner of Dorset, from thence running due north six
miles; thence due east six miles; thence due south six miles, to the north-
east corner of Dorset aforesaid ; and thence due west by Dorset aforesaid,
six miles, to the north-west corner, which is also the south-east corner of
Pawlet, and that the same be and is hereby incorporated into a township, by
the name of Danby, and the inhabitants that do or shall hereafter inhabit the
said township, are declared to be enfranchised with, and entitled to all
and every the privileges and immunities that towns within our province by
law exercise and enjoy." The bounds of the township have never been
changed, remaining the same to-day that they were in 1761.
The surface of the town is diversified by numerous hills and valleys, lend-
ing a charm to the scenery, at the same time affording superior advantages
for all kinds of agricultural and pastoral pursuits. The rich valleys, clothed
with waving grain, and the verdant hill-slopes affording pasturage for numer-
ous flocks, all being embeUished and enriched by numerous springs and Hmpid
streams, affording numerous mill-sites. With all these,- is it to be wondered
at that the Danbyites are a prosperous happy people ?
Danby Mountain, sometimes called "Spruce," extends north and south
through the entire length of the township, intersecting on the south with what
is famiUarly known as "Dorset Mountain." Another range of hills extends
through the eastern half, thus dividing the town into three sections, designat-
ed as the east, west, and middle. A portion of Otter Creek valley is included
within the Hmits of the town, east of which lie the Green Mountains.
Of the numerous small streams the two principal are Mill River and
Flower Brook. Mill River is formed by the junction of a large number of
small streams, one of which rises in the extreme south-western part of the
town ; it flows an easterly course through the township, emptying into Otter
Creek, in the township of Mt. Tabor.
Flower Brook rises in the north-western part of the town, flows a southerly
course for about one mile, then turns westerly and empties into Pawlet River,
in the town of Pawlet. A small pond or lake is situated in the center of the
township, caUed Danby Pond, the outlet of which flows into Mill River.
Otter Creek flows through a portion of the north-eastern part of the town,
and the Bennington and Rutland Railway crosses the north-eastern corner.
TOWN OF DANBY, 1 33
Several mineral springs, noted for their medicinal qualities, are located in
different parts of the town, the principal of which, discovered in 1869, is
situated about two miles north of Danby borough.
The principal part of the town is of the .Eolian limestone formation, while
the north-western and north-eastern part is of the talcoid schist. Several good
marble deposits have been found, though none are worked to any great extent.
Clay, suitable for brick manufacture is abundant, while plumbago and sulphuret
of lead are found to some extent. The soil presents numerous varieties, from
the finest alluvial deposit to clay, nearly all of which are susceptible of culti-
vation. The timber is that common to the surrounding towns. This is one
of the best sugar producing towns in the county.
In 1880, Danby had a population of 1,202. The township was
divided into twelve school districts, contained thirteen common schools,
employing five male and seventeen female teachers, at an aggre-
gate salary of $3,571.00. There were 258 pupils attending common
schools, and the whole cost of the schools for the year ending October 30th,
was $2,811.00, with J. C. Williams, Esq., superintendent.
Danby, a post village and station on the Bennington and Rutland
Railway, located in the eastern part of the township, is the largest village.
It contains three stores, two tin shops, one grist mill, one saw mill, one hotel,
one church, two blacksmith shops and about one hundred inhabitants.
Danby Four Corners, (p. o.) located north-west of the borough, near the
centre of the township, is a small hamlet containing one store, one cheese
factory, one blacksmith shop and half-a-dozen dwellings.
H. B. Jenkins' grist mill, located near Danby borough, is operated by
both water and steam power, has two runs of stones and grinds 10,000
bushels of grain per annum.
O. B. Hadwin's grist mill, located at Danby borough, operates one run
of stones, by water power, and grinds several thousand bushels of grain
yearly.
E. Kelley's saw mill, located on road 40, is operated by water power, has
one circular saw for cutting lumber, and two small saws for cutting shingles,
lath, etc., and has also a planing mill attached. Mr. Kelley employs three
hands, and manufactures 300,000 feet of lumber per annum.
Parris Valley Cheese Factory, located in the western part of the township,
was established in 1875 by L. G. Parris, and is still operated by him. He
uses the milk from 200 cows and manufactures 2,000 pounds of cheese per
week.
Harris F. Otis is probably the most extensive sugar munufacturer in this
section of the country. He taps over 3,000 trees per year. In 1880 he
manufactured 1,500 gallons of maple syrup.
The first proprietors meeting was held on the 24th day of September,
1760, at the house of Nathan Shepard, in Nine Partners, N. Y., when
Jonathan Ormsby was appointed clerk. Samuel Rose was appointed agent
124 TOWN OF DANBV.
to go to Albany and get what information he could relative to obtaining a
grant in the western part of the Province of New Hampshire. At a meeting
held on the 15th of October following, Jonathan Willard was chosen agent
to go to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and procure a charter. The request of
the proprietors was granted, and on the 27th of August, 1761, as before
stated, the charter was issued. Of the sixty-eight grantees, each one's share,
accordmg to the charter, was about 250 acres, although but few of the original
proprietors ever settled within the township. The five hundred acres, re-
served in all charters for the Governor, was located upon the mountain in
the south-western part of the township, and still bear the name of " Gover-
nor's Right."
According to the directions of the charter, the proprietors of the township
held their first meeting after the grant, at " Great Nine Partners, Cromelbow
Precinct, Dutchess County," Sept. 22d, 1761, with Jonathan Willard as moder-
rator. At this meeting Jonathan Ormsby was appointed clerk, Aaron Buck,
treasurer, and Samuel Shepard, constable ; a committee composed of the
following, was appointed " to set out from home the third Monday in October
next, in order to proceed on business of making divisions of land, etc. :"
Jonathan Willard, Jonathan Ormsby, Samuel Rose, Nehemiah Reynolds,
Moses Kelly, Daniel Dunham and Stephen Videto.
At the first annual meeting of the proprietors, held at Nine Partners on the
second Tuesday of March, 1762, the number of this committee was reduced
from seven to three, who were to finish laying out the lots. This committee
was engaged during the summer of '62 in making the surveys, and on the 5th
of October another meeting was held at the inn of Lewis Delavargue, to hear
a report of their proceedings. This report showed that • the work was not
wholly completed, and would have to be delayed until another spring, when
Darius Lobdel, Aaron Buck, Jonathan Palmer and Zephaniah Buck, were ap-
pointed to proceed at once and finish laying out the land. This committee
finished the surveys of the first division during that summer (1763), and the
lots were numbered, each share containing, as the proprietors had voted, 100
acres.
On the 5th of Sept. 1763, the proprietors met at the house of Capt. Michael
Hopkins, in Amenia Precinct, Dutchess County, N. Y., for the purpose of
drawing their lots. This was performed by placing numbers in a hat, correr
sponding to the numbers of the surveyed lots, and Abraham Finch and Daniel
Shepard were appointed to draw for each proprietor's lot. Thomas Rowley
was surveyor in the first division, who had been employed by the committee
for that purpose. Each proprietor was to pay his share of the cost of survey-
ing, or forfeit his right. The drawing was all done fairly and gave general
satisfaction.
In the fall of 1763 or spring of 1764, a road, or rather bridle path, was
laid out from Bennington to Danby, by Darius Lobdel and Samuel Rose, and
the following summer was worked some, those who worked upon it being

paid in land. This was the same route now used as a highway, leading from
Danby to West Dorset, across the mountain, and was for a long time the
only road leading to the township, and accounts for this part of Danby
being settled first. At the annual meeting on the second Tuesday of March,
1764"^ held in Amenia Precinct, N. Y., the proprietors agreed to donate
land from the undivided portion of the township, to the person or persons
who would make the first settlement. As yet no clearing had been made,
and no attempts were made at settUng until the following year, when durmg
the summer, Joseph Soper, Joseph Earl, Crispin Bull, Luther Colvm and
Micah Vail came to the township, forming the first settlement.
Joseph Soper, from Nine Partners, came first, with his family. Joseph
Earl, from Nine Partners, came next and commenced a clearing west of
Soper, and was followed by Crispin Bull, from the same place. Luther Col-
vin and Micah Vail both came about the same time from Long Island.
These five families constituted the entire population of the township in the
spring of 1766, and were all active and useful men. Many of their descend-
ants are still living in the township.
The first annual town-meeting of the inhabitants of Danby, was held at
the house of Timothy Bull, on the T4th of March, 1769. At this meeting
Timothy Bull was elected moderator: Thomas Rowley, town clerk; Stephen
Calkins, Seth Cook and Crispin Bull, selectmen ; Daniel Vanolendo, consta-
ble ; Nathan Weller, treasurer ; Peter Irish, collector ; John Staff'ord, sur-
veyor ; Joseph Earl, Stephen Calkins and Seth Cook, committee to lay out
highways.
At a meeting, held Sept. 29, 1769, it was voted to lay out five roads
in the township ; of these, the first was laid from the "notch" in the moun-
tains to Joseph Earl's, which was the first road built in town. Town-meeting
continued to be held at the house of Timothy Bull until 1773, when it was
held at the house of Mr. Williamson Bull, and from this time until 1779
they were held at the house of Micah Vail, as that part of the township was
the most thickly settled, and was hence more convenient for most of the set-
tlers. Roads were increasing in number, so that in 1773 it required three
surveyors, who were Stephen Calkins, Ephraim Seley and Philip Griffith. In
1786 they had increased so rapidly that it then required fourteen surveyors
to locate lines.
The census of 1800 shows the population of the town to have been four-
teen hundred and eighty-seven. At that time nearly every part of the town
was settled, the farms cleared up and under cultivation. Three saw-mills
had been built, and considerable progress made in the erection of framed
houses. Roads had been built in nearly every direction ; two stores and three
hotels were in operation. There were but two dweUing houses at Danby
borough at that time, and one hotel, kept by Bradford Barnes, but it was
very thickly settled along Otter Creek, north of the village. The central part
of the town, in the vicinity of Danby Four Corners, and south from there,
126 TOWN OF DANBY.
was at that time the most thickly settled. That portion of the township known
as " Bromley Hollow," and " South America," had also become quite thickly
settled, and the township was in a flourishing condition.
For the first fifty years after its settlement the population of the township
increased rapidly, and then from that time until 1850 there was a falling off
in population, owing in a great measure to emigration ; but the building of
the railroad in 1851 gave a new impetus to business, and its population
rapidly increased. Dan by borough soon became a thriving village, while
business was nearly ruined at the Corners.
Captain John Burt was' the first innkeeper in Danby, having kept a hotel
on road 14, about the year 1775, which he kept for many years. The first
tavern at the Corners was built by Elisha Brown, in the year 1800. The
first store ever kept in town was in 1790, by Henry Frost, at or near the
corner of roads 32 and 35. This store was in connection with the tavern.
His successor was Jozaniah Barrett, who continued the business until about
the year iSio.
Joseph Soper, the first settler of Danby, came from Nine Partners, N. Y.,
in 1765, and located in the south-eastern part of the township, two of his
brothers setthng in Dorset about the same time. His log house was the first
erected in town, and for several months his was the only family in town. He
came with two horses, bringing his family and effects upon their backs, and
finding his way by means of marked trees. A few years after his settlement
here, while on his way home from mill, at Manchester, a distance of fourteen
miles, he was overtaken by a severe snow storm, in which, overcome by cold
and exhaustion, he perished. His body was found the following day within
one mile from his home. It was buried in a hollow log, on the spot where
found, it being the first grave ever made in the township.
Joseph Earl, the second settler of the township, came from Nine Partners
in 1765, locating near the spot now occupied by the residence of John Hil-
liard. He resided in Danby but a few years, having left during the
Revolutionary war. He was a man of ability and bore a conspicuous part
in organizing society.
Crispin Bull, the third settler of Danby, came from Nine Partners in 1765,
and commenced a settlement near the present homestead of John Hilliard.
He at once took up a leading position, and was one of the first board of
selectmen, elected in 1769. He also made the first clearing on the east side
of the town, about the year 1772. He received from the proprietors sixty
acres of land for sixty day's work building roads, which is now some of the
best land in the township. He died in 1810, aged 70 years, having passed a
long, laborious and industrious hfe. His wife, Mary Carpenter, died in
i833> aged 92 years.
Luther Colvin came from Rhode Island to Danby in 1765. He was the
fourth settler in the town, and found his way thither by means of marked trees.
Luther Colvin, like all the other settlers, brought with him a scanty supply

of household articles and furniture, and experienced much difficulty in pro-
curing the necessaries of life while making a settlement. It was his custom
to go to Manchester to mill and back the same day, carrying the grist upon
his back. At one time, when grain was scarce, he carried the last bushel of
wheat he possessed, which was to last for several months, or until harvest
time came again. He was a hard working man, possessed of considerable
ability, and occupied a prominent place in society. He is said to have
brought the first stove into town, and to have built the second frame house.
He became a Quaker, and joined the society. He died in 1829, aged about
90. His wife, Lydia Colvin, who died in 1814, was also quite advanced in
years. Their children were as follows: Stephen, Caleb, John, Catharine,
Lydia, Esther, Anna and Freelove.
Captain Micah Vail, one of the original five settlers who came to Danby in
1 765, was born in 1730, the seventh son of Moses Vail, of Huntington, Long
Island, and of English descent. He was considered a very efficient man in
town aff'airs, and exercised a great deal of influence among the people of his
times. It may be truly said that he was one of the fathers of the town. He
was the moderator of the annual town meetings of 1773 ^.nd 1774; was one
of the board of selectmen in 1770, and again in 1775. He was associated
with Allen, Warner and others, in defending the rights of the people during
the struggle between New York and New Hampshire, being for several years
a member of the committee of safety. He represented Danby in the conven-
tion which met at the house of Deacon Cephas Kent, in Dorset, in 1776, and
which declared the New Hampshire grants a free and separate district. He
and his wife both died of the measles in 1777, the same day, and were buried
in the same grave. They had a large family of children, some of whose de-
scendants are still residing in Danby. The children were as follows : Debo-
rah, Hannah, Louisa, Eunice, Moses, John, Phoebe, Lucretia, Edward and
Micah.
Lemuel Griffith, born in Massachusetts, in 1745, came to Danby in 1782,
locating on the farm now owned by Michael Cunningham. He afterwards
became a heavy landholder, owning at one time some six or seven farms, of
several hundred acres. Mr. Griffith left numerous worthy descendants, many
of whom became prominent citizens of the township. Some of them still re-
side in Danby, and others in different parts of the United States. He mar-
ried Elizabeth Potter, who died in 1805, aged 63. He died in 18 18, aged
73. Their children were David, George, Thomas, Jonathan, Mary and John.
George Sovvle settled at an early date in Westport, Mass., where his son
Henry was subsequently born. Henry had two sons. Wesson and Joseph,
Wesson married Ruhama Robinson, of Westport, to whom was born a son
James, in 1760. James, while still quite young, married Patience Macum-
ber, and subsequently settled in Danby in April of 1792, locating upon the
farm now owned by Albertus Warner, and occupied by James Sowle, Jr.
The house was the first frame-house erected in this portion of the township,
128 TOWN OF DANBY.
and is now over one hundred years old and still well preserved. The fire-
places, of which there are three, were built when the house was erected, and
are now in a good state of preservation, and still used in place of stoves for
warming the rooms. The house was first built as an inn, but the road was
changed to the valley before the building was completed, so the hotel was
never kept here.
EHhu Benson came to Danby from Rhode Island, in 1798, and settled on
the farm now owned by Jared L. Cook, a great grandson of Benson's. Mr.
Benson married Huldah Brow and resided upon the old homestead until his
death, in 1806. They had a family of ten children, seven boys and three
girls. Their daughter Elizabeth married Stephen Cook, and resided upon
the old farm about thirty-five years and then removed to Dorset, where her
husband died in 1852. She then returned to Danby and has made it her
home on the old farm until the present time.
Ira Cook, father of Jared L., who now resides in Pawlet, was born on this
farm. He married Artemesia Lobdell, which union was blessed with one
child (Jared L), she dying about 1850, when Ira subsequently married Rachel
Herrick, and has one daughter. Jared L. married Lucy Colvin, and has
two daughters.
Oliver Harrington came to Danby previous to the Revolution, locating in
the north-east part of the township, on the farm now owned by Benjamin
Brown, where he resided until his death, at an advanced age. Andrew, son
of Ohver, was born here, where he resided until his death. He married
Lydia Miller, and had a family of seven children, three boys and four girls.
Daniel Parris came to Danby from WiUiamstown, Mass., about the year
1785, locating in the western part of the town, buying a small farm, to which
he kept adding from time to time, until he finally owned one thousand acres,
upon which he resided until his death, leaving a large family of children.
Many of his descendants still reside in the township.
Edward Vail, son of Capt. Micah, was born in Danby and resided there
all his life, dying in 1-841. He was colonel of mihtia, and a captain in the
war of 18 1 2. Started for the battle of Plattsburgh, but did not proceed any
farther than Whitehall, where he learned that the danger was over, and re-
turned. His son Edward was born in 1824, and has been a resident of
Danby up to the present time.
Harris Otis came to Danby from Mass. in the year 1794, locating upon
the farm now owned by Harris F. Otis, son of William, and grandson of
Harris. Harris was a physician and practiced in the township many years,
and at the same time took a great interest in farming. He died in 1847,
aged 72. WilUam Otis was born on the old Otis homestead in 1807, and is
still a resident of the township, a very popular man and ex-representative.
Has had a family of nine children, three of whom, WiUiam F., Harris F.
and Grant M., are residents of the township.
In the year 1778, Caleb Smith, from Uxbridge, Mass., came to the town
TOWN OF DANBY. 1 29
of Danby, then a vast wilderness, and settled on the south-western part of
the farm now owned by A. D. Smith. The spot chosen by him was one of
the most picturescjue and beautiful in Vermont, overlooking as it does the
broad valley of Otter Creek. Mr. Smith built a log house, then, after hard
work, succeeded in cutting and burning over a space of twenty acres, and a
year or two afterwards, planting a large field of corn on a piece of ground
where now stands a large sugar orchard. Mr, Smith continued to improve
his farm until his death, which occurred at the age of 80 years. Nathan
Smith next located on the homestead, and in 1799 he built the house in
which his grandson now resides, which at that time was considered one of
the best in town. Upon the door handle is stamped the date 1799, which
is considered a valuable relic, being still kept in use. Daniel Smith succeeded
to the homestead. He was an industrious farmer, a good citizen and
greatly esteemed. He died in 1830, aged 36 years. And now the old
homestead is in the possession of Augustus D. Smith, whose enterprise and
ability has made the farm renowned throughout New England as one of the
greatest fruit and sugar producing farms in Vermont.
Mr. Smith married Charity S., daughter of WiUiam Herrick, the union be-
ing blessed by three children, Augustus N. W., who resides with his father and
has charge of the farm. Charity V., also living with her parents, and Dan-
iel C, a resident of the town. A. D. has always been a public spirited man,
and has held various town offices during a period of many years. For seven
years he held the office of justice of the peace, was Supt. of common schools
from 1857 to 1 86 1, and has been president of the County Agricultural Society.
The old homestead is the subject of the engraving on opposite page.
The first Church society organized in the township was of Baptist denomi-
nation, organized in 1781, and the Rev. Hezekiah Eastman was the first set-
tled minister. The organization was kept up for some twenty years, and then
began to decline. There is no organized society of this denomination at the
present time.
The first church was built in 1795, by a Methodist society, and stood west
of the Corners, near the burial ground, and was torn down in 1822, after
which time meeting was held in the brick school house. In 1838 the present
Congregational church at Danby borough was erected by a union society,
composed of Episcopal Methodists, Close Communion Baptists and Friends.
The church south of the Corners was finished next, 1839. The society was
composed of Methodists and Baptists. The church at the corners was com-
pleted about the year 1840. This was designed as a union church, and dedi-
cated as such, all the denominations being represented.
The only society supporting a resident clergyman at the present time is
the Congregational Church at Danby borough. This society was organized
in 1869, by the Rev. Aldace Walker, D. D., having at its organization but
twelve members, their first pastor being James P. Stone. They occupy the
old church built in 1836, a comfortable structure capable of seating 225 per-

sons. It cost about $2,300, but is now only valued at about $2,000, includ-
ing the entire church property. The society now has about twenty-three mem-
bers, with Lucean D. Mears as pastor.
ip|AIRHAVEN is located in the western part of Rutland County, in lat.
^? 43^ 36'} and long. 3° 48' east from AVashington ; and is bounded north
W by Benson, east by Castleton and a part of Poultney, south by Poult-
ney River, which separates it from Hampton, N.Y., and west by Westhaven.
It originally comprised within its limits the towns of both Westhaven and
Fairhaven, and was granted by the General Assembly of Vermont, convened
at Manchester, on the 27th day of October, 1779, to Ebenezer Allen and 75
others. It was then a wilderness, and until after the close of the Revolu-
tionary war the territory was not improved to any great extent. Along the
shore of the lake and the borders of the bay and rivers, there were a few
settlements commenced, but mainly the township was the wilderness it was
at the time the charter was issued.
The surface consists of swells and vales, though there is nothing which
deserves the name of mountain, but might perhaps, if the term is admissible,
be called ranges of mountainous hills, extending principally in a north and
south direction.
Along the west line of the township extends a belt of talcoid schist about
one mile in width, while the rocks east of this are composed entirely of the
Georgia slate deposit, containing some of the finest and most lucrative slate
quarries in the county. To these quarries, and to the manufacture of the
slate taken therefrom, Fairhaven owes its principal wealth ; still, the verdant,
picturesque vales, scattered plentifully over the township, present a large area
of arable land that can scarcely be surpassed for productiveness, possessing
a soil of great variety, consisting of gravel, sand and marl, and along the
river valleys, alluvial deposits of rare fertility, and the whole is irrigated by
numerous small streams issuing from the hill-tops, but the only ones of any
considerable note are Poultney and Castleton Rivers. The former on ar-
riving at the west Hne of Poultney, begins to form the boundary line between
Vermont and New York, and running between Fairhaven and Westhaven,
on the north, and Hampton and Whitehall, N. Y., on the south, falls into
the head of East Bay, an arm of Lake Champlain. From Fairhaven it
receives Castleton River.
In the year 1783 a most remarkable change took place in the course of
Poultney River. A little above its junction with East Bay, a ridge of land
crosses in a northerly direction. The river at this place running a north-
westerly course, on meeting the ridge, turned suddenly towards the northeast,
and, after keeping that course about half a mile, turned westerly, rushing down
a steep ledge of rocks, and forming a number of fine mill-privileges. The
river had, for some years, been observed to be making encroachments upon
TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN. 131
the ridge at the place where it turned to the northeast; and in May, 1783,
during a violent freshet, the river broke through the ridge, and, meeting with
no rocks, it cut a channel one hundred feet deep, lowering the bed of the
river for some distance above, and carrying immense quantities of earth into
East Bay. The bay, which was before navigable for vessels of 40 tons bur-
den, was so completely filled for several miles that a canoe could with diffi-
culty pass at low water ; but the obstructions have since been mostly removed
by the force of the current. On the north side of what is now known as the
" Dry Falls," General Clark had commenced the erection of a saw-mill, which
was of course rendered useless by the change of the stream. Numerous
stories and traditions are told, claiming that the stream was diverted from its
original course by human agency, and for the purpose of revenge on the above
mentioned Clark ; but none of them are authentic, and have, we believe, no
foundation in fact.
Castleton River crosses the southern portion of the town and unites with
Poultney River. In the north-east corner of the township is situated Glen
Lake, a small, though handsome sheet of water, extending into Castleton on
the east and Benson on the north.
Inman Pond, located about three miles north of the village of Fairhaven,
from which the village receives its water supply, is somewhat peculiar in its
formation. It is located on the top of a hill, 207 feet above the village, cov-
ering an area of from 80 to 85 acres, fed entirely by springs, and has been
sounded to the depth of 200 feet and no bottom found ; which fact, taken to-
gether with the peculiar formation of its shores, and the volcanic rock found
while making excavations for the water-pipes, have led many, and with reason,
to beheve it to be the crater of an extinct volcano.
The D. & H. C. Go's R. R. passes through the southern part of the town,
with a station at the village of Fairhaven, affording good faciUties for trans-
portation of the manufactures of the town.
Although the present town of Fairhaven comprises but two-fifths of the
original grant, its business interests and wealth is far in advance of the portion
separated from it in 1792. It is not only an agricultural, quarrying and
manufacturing district, but its hills afford pasturage for large herds of sheep
and cattle, the products of which form no mean item in the aggregate wealth
of the people.
Formerly the inhabitants were devoted, to a considerable degree, to the
manufacture of lumber ; but the steady stroke of the woodman's axe has so
gradually but surely thinned the forests that lumbering is now of minor im-
portance. The timber consists of pine, hemlock, beech, maple, walnut, but-
ternut, button-wood etc.
In 1880 Fairhaven had a population of 2,212; it was divided into five
school districts, and contains ten common schools, employing two male and
thirteen female teachers', at an aggregate salary of $2,799.50. There were
479 pupils attending school, and the entire cost of the schools for the year
ending Oct. 30th, was $3,035.04, with Mr. Seth Thompson, superintendent.
132 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN.
Fairhaven, a post-viilage and station on the D. & H. C. Go's Railroad, is
the only village of the townhip. It is beautifully situated in the southern part
of the town, on Castleton River, at which place there are falls, two affording
fine mill-privileges. The village contains two banks, several churches, num-
erous mercantile and manufacturing interests, and about 1800 inhabitants.
Taken all in all, it is one of the most thriving as well as beautiful villages
of its size to be found in the State. It was first laid out and established
Dec. 3ist, 1820, under a general law of the State, by Isaac Cutter, John P.
Colburn and Harvey Church, selectmen of the town at that time. From this
time until the fall of 1865 no action was taken by the citizens relative to a
village government, farther than a formal survey ; but in the fall of the above
mentioned year the Legislature of the State passed a charter, or Act of incor-
poration, erecting a tract of one square mile into a corporate village, and at
a meeting held in the hall over Adams store, on the 4th of Dec. following,
the inhabitants adopted the charter by a vote of 71 to 52, and the village, has f
since, annually, at the meeting on the first Monday in December, elected its
board of officers. By-laws were adopted on the 21st of February of the year
following.
In the centre of the village is a fine park, containing about six acres, sur-
rounded by a neat fence and filled with fine maple shade-trees. From this
park the principal streets of the village diverge, and around it are situated
some of the finest residences of the town ; the marble residence of Mr. Adams
facing it from the south, being perhaps the most conspicuous. The land in-
cluded within the park was given to the town in October of 1798, by Col.
Mathew Lyon, "for the friendship of the town of Fairhaven." In the spring
of 1855 a "Park Association" was formed, the members paying one dollar
annually for the purpose of planting trees in the park grounds. But few
meetings were held, officers being last chosen in April of i860. Under the
charter granted in 1865, the village corporation has full authority and power
over the park, side-walks, streets, etc.
One feature of the village, of which its inhabitants are justly proud, is its
fine water-supply. At an adjourned village meeting, held on the 12th of Jan.,
1880, the trustees were empowered to bond the village for $30,000.00, for the
purpose of raising money to construct the water- works. On May 7th an ad-
ditional appropriation of $5,000.00 was made, and on the 1 2th of July work was
commenced, thirty-five men being employed. Water is brought by means of large
iron pipes, from Inman Pond — located about three miles north of the village, a
natural reservoir of pure, cold, spring-water, affording ahead of 207 feet. The
works were completed and tested on the 14th of December, giving entire sat-
isfaction, and having cost the village $37,147.35- On the 20th of the same
month, tapping of the main water-pipes was commenced. On the i ith of De-
cember, a box containing seventy dynamite cartridges, stored in the engine-
house of the works, near the pond, was accidentally exploded, causing a loss
of several hundred dollars ; fortunately there was no loss of life. DweUing

houses, situated three miles distant from the scene of the explosion, were
quite severely shaken by the concussion.
About eleven o'clock on the night of November 8th, 1879, the village was
visited by a disastrous fire, which consumed the large hotel and block owned
by C. C. Knight. The fire originated in a boot and shoe store kept by B.
Merriam, and in spite of all efforts to the contrary, the building was entirely
destroyed, causing a loss of about $30,000, mostly covered by insurance.
Since that time the village has had no hotel. On the site of the old one Mr.
Knight has erected a fine block, three stories high, having a front of 100 feet.
The first floor is occupied by stores, the second by offices, and the third a
hall for dramatic entertainments.
The village has two fire companies, Fairhaven Hose Cos. No. i and No. 2.
They use no engine, attaching the hose to the fire-hydrants, which throw a
powerful stream, owing to the height of the reservoir, and affording one of the
principal features of their excellent water-supply.
The First National Bank of Fair/iaven was organized in 1864, with a
capital of $76,000. At a meeting of the directors held on the i8th of Feb-
ruary, Joseph Sheldon was chosen president, Merritt Clark, cashier, and
Charles Clark, teller. The bank was opened in May, in a small building
owned by Alonson Allen, on the south side of the park, where it was kept
until February, 1870, when the new bank building, on the east side of the
park being completed, the business of the bank was removed to its present
place. The present building is substantially built of brick, iron and marble,
two stories high, and has one of LiUie's best bank safes inside a heavy wrought
iron vault, and is pronounced as secure as any bank vault in the State.
The Allen National Bank of Fairhaven was organized April 2, 1879, ^ith
a capital of $50,000, the first meeting towards its organization having been
held on the i8th of March preceeding.
The first list of directors was as follows: — Ira C. Allen, Simeon Allen,
Norman Peck, C. C. Knight, M. L. Lee, Owen Owens and Ellis Roberts.
Ira C. Allen was chosen president, Simeon Allen, vice-president, and Charles
R. Allen, cashier, they all still retaining their positions.
The F'airhaven Machine Shops, owned by J. Adams & Son, and under the
superintendence of L. B. Clagston, is ranked among the most extensive
manufactories of the town. In 1871 Mr. Clagston came to Fairhaven from
Boston, to keep their marble saw-mill in repair, and to make repairs for other
saw-mills in the vicinity. In 1873 he invented the Clagston patent gang-saw.
The superior excellence of this saw was immediately recognized by the
various marble companies of Rutland County, and orders for the same began
to come in rapidly, which necessitated increased facilities for the manufacture
of the same. In 1878 he invented the Clagston Pet Stone-Turning Lathe,
the manufacture of which occasioned still further extension of the shops.
This invention was followed by patents on slate-saws in 1879 ^^'^ 'So.
Taken altogether, they form a business that keep the works in operation
almost night and day, and employs fifteen men.
134 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN.
Nathan R. Reed's saw-mill, located on Main street, was built about 75
years ago, Mr. Reed having come into possession in 1866, and manufactures
300,000 feet of lumber per annum.
The Fairhaven Marble and Marbleized Slate Company was organized in
1869, though the business had been conducted during a period of ten years
previous to this date by some members of the present firm. They now em-
ploy from 100 to 135 men, manufacturing as high as $140,000.00 worth of
marble and marbleized mantels, shelves, tile, etc., per annum.
R. C. Colburn commenced the manufacture of marbleized slate mantels in
1869, continuing until 1876, when the firm name was changed to The Stewart
Marbleized Slate Ma?itel Company, with T. B. Stewart, president ; R. C. Col-
burn, treasurer. They employ about twenty men.
Simeon Allen's slate-mill, located near the R. R. depot, was built by Mr.
Allen in 1868. In 1875 it was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in less than 90
days. Mr. Allen manufactures all kinds of slate goods.
The slate quarrying business was begun in this town byAlonson Allen and
Caleb B. Ranney, in the fall of 1839, the first opening being made about 2\
miles north of the village, on road i, at a point called Scotch Hill. The
present Scotch Hill Slate Quarry is owned and operated by Griffith, Owen &i
Co., who employ 30 men. Their mill, located at the quarries, saws and planes
200,000 feet of mantel stock, etc., per year.
The Vermont Union Slate Company was organized in 187 1, operating one
quarry in Castleton and one in Poultney, employing about 45 men.
The C. B. N. Slate Quarry, located in the north-west part of the town,
on the farm of Rufus R. Hamilton, was opened in 1881, by John J.Williams,
who commenced working the Scotch Hill quarry in 1851, which he continued
to work until 1857, under the firm name of "The Fairhaven Slate Company,"
when the firm became insolvent, and a new firm started, Davey, Nichols &
Co., who subsequently sold the property to a Boston firm, and they in turn
selhng to the present firm, Griffith, Owen & Co. Mr. WiUiams is the inven-
tor of the patent Slate Tile Roofing for flat roofs. He expects to manufac-
ture from the C. B. N. slate, mill and roofing stock, and more especially the
tile roofing.
The Carver's Falls Slate Quarry, located in the north-west part of the
town, was opened in 1880, by Benjamin Williams, who quarries roofing and
mill-stock.
Edwin R. BristoFs wood-turning shop, located on road 11, was built in
1842. There was an old-fashioned saw-mill on the premises, built 70 years
ago, and in 1878 Mr. Bristol put in a cireular-saw, and now manufactures there
about 150,000 feet of lumber per year, and does quite an extensive business
in wood-turning.
Fairmou?it Trotting Park, located a little south of the village, on Prospect
street, was built in 1874, and is now owned by Howard Leonard, Jufius Bos-
worth and C. C. Knight. It has a half-mile track, pronounced by good judges
to be one of the best in the State.
TOWN OF FAIRHAVE^f. 135
Settlement was commenced the same year the charter was granted, to some
extent, the following, with their famihes, having come into the town: John and
William Meacham, Oliver Cleveland, and Joseph Ballard.
Oliver Cleveland, the only one of the original settlers represented in the
charter, located in the southern part of the township, having a farm consisting
of 205 acres, lying between Poultney River and the east line of the township.
He died in September 1803, and the property reverted to his sons, Josiah,
Albert and James.
William Meacham owned a farm south of Clet^eland, but had his residence
on the opposite side of the river, in New York.
John Meacham settled north of Cleveland, coming from Williamstown,
Mass., with his wife and three children. His fourth child, Esther Meacham,
born April 23, 1780, was the first child born in the township. Mr. Meacham
was one of the members of the first board of selectmen, chosen in August,
1783. He subsequently resided in Benson, where he died in 1808 or '09,
aged 58 years.
Joseph Ballard settled on the farm next west of Mr. Meacham's, upon
which he died about 1795. There was scarcely anything done towards the
improvement of the town until 1783, when Col. Mathew Lyon, Silas Safford
and others moved into town, and the former commenced erecting mills.
The first meeting of the proprietors to organize under the charter was
held at the house of Nehemiah Hoit, at Castleton Corners, June 14, 1780,
at which meeting Col. Ebenezer Allen was chosen moderator, and Capt.
Isaac Clark, proprietors' clerk. Between this time and 1873 several meet-
ings were held, but the township was not organized until the 28th of August
of this year, at which meetings held at the house of Philip Priest, in Fair-
haven, Mr. Priest was chosen moderator, and Eleazer Dudley first town
clerk. The first selectmen were Philip Priest, John Meacham and Henry
Barlow.
Col. Matthew Lyon settled where the village now stands, in the year 1783,
and commenced to erect mills, having in operation -at this point, previous to
1796, one furnace, two forges, one slitting mill, and one grist mill, and he
did printing on paper manufactured by himself from basswood bark. Lyon
came from Ireland when a boy, and was sold as an indentured apprentice
until twenty-one years of age, to pay for his passage, the buyer paying for
him a pair of steers and giving " boot money."
He married a Miss Hosford, by whom he had four children, Anna, James,
Pameha and Laurin. She dying, he married, as a second wife, the widow
Beulah Galusha, a daughter of Col. Thomas Chittenden, afterwards the first
Governor of Vermont.
He first resided near the north end of the bridge which crossed the river
just above the grist mill, subsequently building and residing on the site of
the old tavern-stand on the hill, and at a later period, on the site now
occupied by the Knight block.
136 TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN.
In 1796 Lyon was elected to Congress, taking his seat in November,
1797, and was subsequently imprisoned in the jail at Vergennes, under the
"Alien and Sedition Laws," and was released by the friends of Thomas
Jefferson paying his fine of $1,000.00, for which restitution was made to
his heirs by Congress in 1833. In 1820 Lyon removed to Arkansas, where
he died on the ist of August, 1822, near Little Rock.
The paper mill in Fairhaven was built by Col. Lyon about 1790 or 1791.
His son, James, had charge of it at one time, and they manufactured the
paper generally used in this vicinity, both for writing and printing pur-
poses.
The first grist mill was built by Col. Lyon and Ager Hawley in 1783, and
was located on the soutli side of the river, below the old paper mill. The first
saw mill was built by Lyon about 1783, and stood on the north side of the
Lower Falls.
The question of dividing the township into two towns seems to have been
agitated by the early settlers a great deal, the point at issue being the sub-
ject of the dividing line ; but was finally settled by the Legislature on the
3oth of October, 1792, though a number of the citizens in both parts of the
town continued to protest against the division. The town of Westhaven
took about three-fifths of the area of the original township, leaving to Fair-
haven the remaining two-fifths. The two towns were jointly to elect one
iepresentative to the General Assembly, which they continued to do until
the annual election in 1823, when separate elections were held.
Previous to this time, the annual freemen's meetings were held, sometimes
at the school house near Mr. Minot's, in Westhaven, and at other times at the
school house near Mr. Stannard's, in Fairhaven, the people of both towns
meeting together and having at times a good deal of sectional feefing in re-
gard to their affairs.
Ethan Whipple came to Fairhaven from Rhode Island in 1786, settling
about f of a mile north of the village, upon the farm now owned by John Al-
lard, where he resided until the spring of 1831, when he sold the place and
removed to the village, where he died December 18, 1836, aged 79 years.
Tilly Gilbert, from Brookfield, Mass., came to Fairhaven in the spring of
1788, where he remained until 1791, and then removed to Benson, and sub-
quently to Orwell, returning to Fairhaven in 1799, where he became one of
the most influential citizens of the township. In 1832 or '^^ he removed to
Westhaven, where he died Sept. 5, 1850, aged 79 years.
Benjamin F. Gilbert, a son of Tilly, is now a resident of Fairhaven.
Joseph Sheldon came from Dorset to Fairhaven in 1798, locating in the
north part of the town, upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Leander
H. His son Harmon was born in 1804, and continued his residence here
until his death, Aug. 29, 1874. Harmon married Angeline Maynard, and had
two sons, Leander H. and Joseph K., both of whom are now living. Capt.
Joseph Sheldon, brother to Harmon, and for many years a noted breeder of

merino sheep, lived where Heman Stannard now resides, and died July i6,
1872.
Barnabas Ellis came to Fairhaven from Hampton, N. Y., in the spring of
1814. He was a leading and influential citizen, and died, much lamented,
May 9, i860.
Zenas C, son of Barnabas, was born July 25, 1820, and has always re-
sided in the town, and now owns and occupies the old homestead, about
one-half mile south of the village. He married Sarah B. Dyer, of Rutland,
in 1847, and has four sons, George W., Edward D., Horace B. and Zenas H.
George is an attorney in New York city, Edward is a physician, practicing
in Poultney, Horace B. is at Castleton, proprietor of the Bomoseen House,
and Zenas lives at home with his father.
Stephen Fish came to Fairhaven from Uxbridge, Mass., in 1810, and
located about two and one-half miles north of the village. He married Chloe
Narramore and had a family of seven children, two of whom are now Hving,
one, Mrs. Rebecca P. Whipple, a resident of this town. He died in
Westhaven on the 3d of December, 1849.
Charles Wood came to Fairhaven from Hartland, Vt., in 1815, residing
here until his death, February 4, 1832. His son, ChaunceyE., now occupies
the old homestead.
Samuel Wood came about the same year, from Hartland, and now resides
with his son, Nelson S., on road 16.
Hiram Hamilton, successor to Joel, one of the early settlers, came to
Fairhaven in 1823, where he now resides, on road 6.
Hiram Briggs was born in Castleton, Vt., in 1806, and came to Fairhaven
in 1838, locating on road 3, where he died in 1872, his widow, Susanna, still
occupying the premises.
Joseph Adams settled in Fairhaven, from Whitehall, N. Y., and was for a
long time one of the first merchants and manufacturers of the place. His
son, Andrew N. Adams, was born January 6, 1830, and graduated at
Cambridge Divinity School, in Harvard University, July 17, 1855, but only
preached for a short time, coming to Fairhaven in the summer of i860,
where he has since been extensively engaged in marble and slate manufacture.
Alonson Allen came to Fairhaven, from Hartford, N. Y., in March, 1836,
and was for many years prominent in mercantile and manufacturing circles,
taking an active interest in the development of the marble and slate business
of the town. His widow, Mrs. Mary Allen, now resides in South Park
place. Ira C. Allen, president of the Allen National Bank, was born in
Bristol Vt., in 18 16, and came to Fairhaven in May, 1836, married Mary E,
Richardson, a niece of Joseph Adams, and has four children. He is a
prominent man of the town.
The First Congregational C/iurc/i wSiS organized January 2, 1806, having
at its organization only fifteen members ; Rufus Cushman, the first pastor,
was installed on the 12th of February, 1807. The church building was

erected in 1810, and is at present, including grounds, valued at $5,000, and
will comfortably seat 250 persons. The present membership of the society
numbers io3, with Rufus C. Flagg, pastor.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Fairhaven village, was organ-
ized by Rev. Albert Chapin, in 1825. The first church edifice was erected in
1843, which was followed by the present building, erected in 1877, at a cost
of $15,000, which will comfortably seat 500 persons; the church property
is now valued at $16,000. The society at present numbers 200 members,
with Rev. Delmer R. Lowell, pastor.
St. Mary of the Seven Dolors, (Catholic,) located on Washington
street, was organized by Rev. Z. Druon, in 1855, having at its organization
100 members. The church edifice was erected in 1873, ^'^ ^ cost of $40,000,
and is capable of seating 1,000 persons ; the whole property being now valued
at $50,000. The society has 700 members, is in a flourishing condition, with
Rev. P. J. O'CarroU, pastor.
The Welsh Protestant Society of Fairhaven was organized in the summer
of 1 85 1, by Rev. Evan Griffiths, of Utica, and Rev. Thomas R. Jones, ot
Rome, N. Y. Rev. Griffith Jones was the first pastor. A good brick church,
on the east side of Main street, was erected by the society in 1857. costing
about $3,500. The society has at present no pastor.
The Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Society was formed by a portion of the
members from the Protestant Society, who organized in 1859, and built a
small edifice on the opposite side of the street. The society has no pastor at
present.
The First Baptist Church of Fairhavenvfa.% organized by 29 Baptist brethren
on December 14, 1867, their first pastor being Rev. P. Franklin Jones. The
building was commenced in 1870, and completed in 1873, costing about
$34,000, and will accommodate 475 persons with seating room. The society
at present has 145 members, with Rev. A. C. Ferguson, pastor.
iUBBARDTON lies in the north-western part of the county, in lat. 43°
43' and long. 3° 50' east from Washington, and is bounded north by
'fll* Sudbury, east by Pittsford, south by Castleton, and west by Benson. It
was chartered June 15, 1764, by Benning Wentworth, Governor of New
Hampshire, to Thomas Hubbard and others. From Mr. Hubbard the town-
ship takes its name. The towns in the southern part of the State being sur-
veyed first, and most of them surveyed larger than the charter bounds, several
towns in this vicinity were consequently contracted to less than their charter
limits. Thus, Hubbardton, although it was chartered as a full township, and
to contain 23,040 acres, with the usual reservations, by consequence of prior
charters and surveys, some of the north part was held by Sudbury, and a gore
on the east by Pittsford, so that it now contains but about : 8,000 acres.
This was also the case with several other towns in this vicinity, there having
TOWN OF HUBBARDTON. 139
been one whole township chartered by the name of Dunbar, entirely run out,
there being no place left to locate it. The surface is hilly and broken, and
towards the east, mountainous ; but in the valleys and lowlands there are
many excellent farms, and on the hills graze large flocks of cattle and sheep,
which form the principal wealth of the people. The country is well watered
by numerous streams, lakes and ponds, which lend a pleasing diversity to the
landscape. The streams, however, are all quite small, though the water is
clear and limpid. Lake Bomoseen extends from Castleton, north, to nearly
the centre of the township. Of the ponds there are about twelve distributed
over the surface of the town, Horton Pond, in the north-western part, lying
partly in Sudbury, being the largest. Bebee Pond, in the northern part of
the town, is about one mile in length. Of the minor ones there are, Half
Moon in the south-west part of the township, Keeler Pond in the northern,
and Marsh, Austin and Black, in the central part. The principal rocks are
quartz and slate. Of the latter, large quantities, suitable for roofing, and some
suitable for pencils, have been found. Black lead has been found in small
quantities inlaid in the rocks. Lead has also been found in small quantities,
which contained some silver. Whetstones of a very superior quahty have
also been considerably wrought.
The greatest curiosity in the geological department is a course of rocks
which cross the town in an east and westerly direction, different from any
other rock found in its vicinity. It is in detached blocks, resembling rock
ore in shape and appearance, only it is not as heavy or dark colored. The
earth in which it is embedded is reddish, and has the appearance of burnt
earth. In many places it crosses ledges of other rock, overlying them and
detached from them ; in others it seems to have cut its way in a straight
path, six or eight feet wide, and not uniting with any other rock. It appears
to have been broken up into different shapes and sizes, and some blocks are
full of holes, while others show white spots where they are broken. It is
easy to break, and breaks in very straight lines. The color on the inside is
bluish. The numerous ponds abounding with fish must have made Hub-
bardton one of the favorite haunts of the red man. A short distance from
the north-west corner of the town, there are found rehcs of an old Indian
camp — arrow heads, &c. Near Marsh Pond there is a large circular mound,
some six rods in diameter, composed of gravel, and apparently of artificial
formation. This possibly may have been constructed by tribes who had
wandered east from the " Mound Builders " of the west.
There is also found near here a swamp in which are embedded large sound
pine logs and stumps, directly under others of a larger growth, many feet deep
in the earth.
The soil, once covered with a rich vegetable mould, produced the finest
wheat ; but owing to the decrease of vegetable deposits annually, as the forests
become thinner, it has become more sterile, and is now better adapted to
pasturage than tillage, and, as before remarked, the inhabitants devote their
I40 TOWN OF HUBBARDTON.
principal attention to sheep husbandry, forming the principal source of their
wealth. The timber is beech, birch and maple, interspersed with pine, hem-
lock and cedar. The sturdy woodman, however, has gradually shorn the
forests of their grandeur, so there now remains but a comparative remnant
of the original wilderness.
Hubbardton steadily increased in population from the time of the first
settlements to the year 1820, when it numbered 810; since which time it
has steadily declined, while it has increased in wealth. In 1880, it had a
population of 533, was divided into nine school districts and had eight
common schools, employing four male and eight female teachers, at an
aggregate salary of $793.00. There were 142 scholars attending common
schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the year was $883.74. Zebulon
Jones was superintendent.
Hubbardton (p. o.) is a small hamlet, located near the center of the
town, at the head of Lake Bomosecn. It contains one saw mill, one black-
smith shop, one basket factory and about twelve dwellings.
East Hubbardton (p. o.) is a small hamlet, located in a beautiful ravine
in the south-eastern part of the township, near Mount Zion. It contains one
church and eight dwellings. The Hubbardton Battle Monument is also
located here, upon a rise of ground just above the place. It was erected by
the inhabitants in commemoration of the battle of Hubbardton.
HoRTONViLLE (p. o.) is another small hamlet, located in the north-west
corner of the town. It contains one store, one grist mill, one saw mill, one
butter-tub factory, cider mill, blacksmith shop, about fifteen dwellings and
seventy inhabitants. It has several very beautiful residences, one of which
is Cyrus Jennings', a very influential citizen of the town.
The Vermont Soapstone Fencil Company have opened a quarry on the farm
of M. M. Dickinson, where they expect to manufacture 30,000 slate pencils per
day. The slate is said to be of most excellent quality for this purpose.
Hubbard Saw Mill, located on road 15, upon the site of S. B. Walker's
grist mill and clothing factory, was built in the year 1827. It has the
capacity for sawing about 2,000 feet of lumber per day. It has also con-
nected with it a cider mill.
The first settlement of Hubbardton was commenced in the spring of 1774,
by Uriah Hickok and WiUiam Trowbridge, with their families from Norfolk,
Conn. In 1775, Samuel Churchill, William Spaulding, Abdial Webster,
Benjamin Hickok, Jesse Churchill, Benajah Boardman and John Seleck
moved their families here. The dwellings, as was common with all the early
settlers of the country, were built of logs ; some of the houses were hewed
inside and some were not ; the floors were mostly made of split logs, hewed
on one side. Their chimneys were made large ; high in the chimney was a
pole laid crosswise to hang the trammel on. Each chimney had one or
two long iron trammels to hang the porridge-pot and dish-kettle on.
The windows were of grained sheep-skin, or greased paper. After

awhile their log-houses began to decay. Saw mills coming into use,
they began to build frame houses, generally of one story, with a chimney in
the middle ten or twelve feet square, with three fire-places and an oven.
The kitchen fire-place was a large one, with a heavy iron crane, with hooks
to hang the pots and kettles upon; this crane was quite a convenience, for
it swung out into the room. The first frame building was built by Samuel
Churchill, in the year 1785. The lumber was drawn 12I miles on an ox-sled,
the nails being picked up at Ticonderoga Fort after it was burned.
The town was organized and the first town meeting held the first Tues-
day in March, 1785. The first Tuesday of the following month, the first
meeting to organize a militia company was held, at which I. Gregory was
chosen Capt., David Hickok, Lieut., and Silas Churchill, Ensign.
Elizabeth, daughter of Uriah and Hickok,* was born August i, 1774,
and died in September, 1776. This was the first birth and first death in the
■\ town.
: James Whelpley settled in Hubbardtonin 1787. He was a Revolutionary
soldier, having served all through the war. Mr. Whelpley represented the
town in the Legislature a number of years, was supervisor of the county a
long time, and served the town as justice of the peace until obHged to give up
the oftice on acccount of age and infirmity. In his day Mr. Whelpley was a
, great hunter, and killed many deer, wolves, bears, foxes and wild-cats. He
outlived all of his children, and died at the advanced age of ninety years.
David Barber, and his wife, Sarah Lawrence, started from West Linesburg,
Conn., to settle in Castleton, in the year 1783. On the journey, David was
taken very suddenly ill and died. INIrs. Barber and the children continued
the journey to Castleton, where she subsequently married Wm. Dyer, of that
place. Her son, David H. Barber, born in 1770, went to reside with his uncle,
Bigelow Lawrence, of Hubbardton, in 1784, and afterwards married Clarissa
Whelpley, by whom he had several children. Mr. Barber died at an advanced
age, loved and respected by all. A number of his descendants still reside in
the town.
Rufus Root, grandfather of Seneca Root now a resident of East Hub-
bardton, was a soldier in 1777, serving under Gen. Stark when only 14 years
of age. Three days after the battle of Hubbardton, he came through the
town as one of a scouting party to pick up the stragglers and wounded. On
the 24th of June, 1828, he visited the battle fields in company with his grand-
son, Seneca. Nine years after this visit, in 1837, Seneca moved to the town,
settling in East Hubbardton, on the farm now owned by Calvin Brothers, and
married the daughter of Thomas Ketchum, of Sudbury. Mr. Root is one of
the most enterprising men of the town. He was mainly instrumental in secur-
ing a post-office at East Hubbardton, and was the first post-master, which
office he held for fifteen years.
Christopher Bresee settled on the farm now owned by A. Walsh, at an early
date, where he resided 34 years, and then removed to the farm now owned
142 TOWN OF HUBBARDTON.
by his son, Albert Bresee. Albert was the originator of the famous "Early
Rose potato." He has a very fine residence, with beautiful grounds.
Joseph Churchill came to Hubbardton in 1783. He was the father of twelve
children, seven sons and five daughters, all of whom lived to be men and
women, and there was not a death in the family until most of them were set-
tled in the world. The youngest that died was twenty-four years old. His
fourth son was killed by the Indians on the last day of the year 1813, at
Black Rock. Mr. Churchill was much employed as an agent by the settlers
in their land troubles. He served as justice of the peace and selectman
many years. He died of a cancer, March 21, 1821, aged 71.
Timothy St. John came to Hubbardton in the year 1785, settUng on the
farm now owned by his son, Reuben. He built the first frame barn, which
now stands in a state of good preservation. His sons, Reuben and Ezekiel,
still occupy the old homestead.
Frederic Dikeman, a native of Reading, Conn., was born August 26, 1760,
served through the war of the Revolution, and removed to Hubbardton in
1796, locating upon the farm now owned and occupied by his grandson,
Myron M. Dikeman.
Samuel Parsons was born in Reading, Conn., December 15, 1765, and
moved to Hubbardton in the year 1787, and soon after married Esther Sellock
and settled on the farm now known as the Parsons Hamlet. He died May
27, 1846, aged 79. His wife, Esther, died February 21, 1848.
Rufus Wilmot Griswold, the well known compiler of American literature,
spent the greater part of his boyhood in Hubbardton. Mr. Griswold pos-
sessed an active mind, but somewhat erratic in its operations. About 1837
he published a paper in Vergennes for a short time ; but soon went to New
York, where he associated himself with Horace Greeley in editing the New
Yorker. He afterward became connected with several eminent journals ; and
in 1842 and '43 with Graham's Magazine. He shortly afterward established
his reputation as a man of letters, by publishing his " Poets and Poetry of
America," and afterwards his " Prose Writers of America." His writings
were widely diffused, through the periodicals of the day. At one time he was
connected with the poet Edgar A. Poe in the publication of a magazine.
After Mr. Poe's death he wrote a memoir of his life and criticism on his
works. In this he handled Mr. Poe so roughly that he was censured, and
perhaps justly, by many. The latter days of Mr. Griswold were not happy.
Worn with study and toil, unfortunate in his domestic relations, he passed
from youth to a premature old age. In the summer of 1857 he perceived
that his Ufe was drawing to an end, and sought the humble and perhaps al-
most forgotten home of his youth to die, but which he never reached ; having
proceeded as far as Cambridge, it was deemed advisable to return to New
York city, where he died soon after, in the 43d year of his age.
The Battle of Hubbardton has already been spoken of in connection with
the County chapter (see page 58), but it may be well to give it a passing

glance. Col. Warner, the brave commander of the Httle band of eight hun-
dred, was born in Roxbury, Conn., May 17, 1743, and died at the same place,
Dec. 26, 1784, at the age of 41. Ticonderoga was abandoned by the Ameri-
cans on the morning of July 6, 1777. Their baggage and stores were packed
on board 200 batteaux, and despatched to Skeenesborough (Whitehall), N.
Y., while the main body of the army proceeded by land on the route through
Hubbardton and Castleton. At Hubbardton they were attacked on the
morning of the 7th by the British light troops under Gen. Fraser, who were in
eager pursuit. We will not give another description of the battle here, as the
events and result of the brief yet fierce and bloody conflict have already been
described. After the battle, Warner, with his usual perseverance and intrep-
idity, collected his scattered troops, some of which had gone to Fort Edward,
to which place St. Clair had retired with the army.
At the Battle of Bennington, in August following, where the " Green Moun-
tain Boys " so nobly retrieved their lost fortunes. Col. Warner was one of the
chief officers of Gen. Stark, and was one of the General's principal advisers in
arranging the plans of that battle, which resulted so advantageously to the
cause of the Americans. At the time of the battle of Hubbardton there were
but nine famihes in the town, all of whom fled to escape the danger. Upon
their return to their homes after the battle, they found the bones of those who
fell, stiU lying upon the field of battle, bleaching in the sun ; gathering them up,
they were all buried in one grave, where for 82 years it remained unmarked
and nearly forgotten, until on Thursday, July 7, 1859, a monument of marble,
2 1 feet in height was reared by the
citizens, to mark the spot. On the
east side of the base of the monument
is the following inscription : —

was preached until December 1787, when the people turned out and built a
log meeting-house, at what is now East Hubbardton. It was large, well sup-
plied with benches, and seats on the sides for the singers. At one end was a
platform and a sort of desk for the preacher, while at the other end was a wide
stone back for a fire-place, with a large chimney above, built of spHt sticks
well plastered. This was the first church in the town. On the site of
this church there was erected, in the year 1 800, another building, known as
The Hubbardton Baptist C/inrc/i, with Elder Nathan Dana as pastor. Mr.
Dana was the first settled minister in the town, and received the ministerial
land. At its organization the Church had but twelve members, which has
since increased to twenty-six, and is under the present pastorate of Rev.
Zebulon Jones. The building is a comfortable structure, capable of seating
about 200 persons, and is valued at $1,200.
Hubbardton First Cojigregational Church, located near the centre of the
township, on the turnpike leading from Brandon to Castleton, was organized
by the Rev. Eleazer Harwood in November 1784. The first house of worship
was erected in 1818, followed by the present one in 1838, which is a comfort-
able structure, capable of seating 200 persons. At the organization of the
Church there were but eleven members, with Rev. Ithamer Hibbard as pastor.
The membership has since increased to forty-two. The late lamented pastor,
John C. Edgar, who died April 29th, 1881, was of Scotch descent, and en-
hsted in the Enghsh army as a drummer boy when he was but twelve years of
age, and was one of the famous Light Brigade who,-»-
" Came from the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six-hundred."
He was but sixteen years of age when he returned from this grand charge,
where the British light cavalry of 600, in the Crimea, at the battle of Balaklava,
all but about 150 were killed. He was a graduate of Andover Theological
Seminary, and possessed of superior ability. Although he was pastor of the
Church but two years, he leaves, in the hearts of all who knew him, feelings of
the fondest regret.

Ij^RA is a triangular tract of land, about three miles in width at its broadest
^ part, and eight in length, located in the central part of the county, in
# lat. 43" 33', and long. 3° 55' east from Washington, and is bounded east
by Pittsford, Rutland and Clarendon ; south by Tinmouth, south-west by
Middleton, and west by Poultney and Castleton. A part of the township of
Ira was taken to form the town of Middletown, Oct. 28, 1784, and again,
by an Act of the Legislature in the year 1854, a portion of the township of
Clarendon was annexed to Ira. Aside from these changes the town retains
its original boundaries.
Ira is supposed to have been chartered by Benning Wentworth about the
year 1761. The original charter was in the Capitol at MontpeUer at the
TOWN OF IRA, 145
time the Capitol burned, and was probably destroyed. The town was or-
ganized May 31, 1779, with Isaac Clark as first town clerk, who was at the
same meeting chosen to represent the town in the Legislature.
A large portion of the township lies upon the Taconic range of mountains,
whose lofty, sterile peaks frown down upon but little good farming land.
Many parts of the town, indeed, are incapable either of cultivation or settle-
ment. There are, however, in some of the mountain valleys, and along the
basin of Ira Brook, many excellent farms, and the hills are here covered with
flocks of sheep, from which the town probably derives its principal wealth.
Herrick Mountain, situated in the central part of the town, is the highest
peak, being 2,661 feet above tide water. Bird Mountain, located a little to
the north-west of Herrick Mountain, and about eight miles from Rutland
village, is one of the most northern peaks of the Taconic range. Its eleva-
tion is about 2,500 feet above tide water, and is rendered of peculiar interest
to geologists, as it is composed almost entirely of quartz conglomerate, a
mass of small qiiartz pebbles about the size of kernels of corn, cemented
together. At all points on the mountain — except the north-east — the sides
are so precipitous as to render its ascent nearly or quite impossible.
The territory is watered by several streams, but they contain few good
mill privileges ; hence it is that Ira is not engaged in the manufacture of
lumber to as great an extent as her forests would admit had nature been
more liberal in this respect. Ira Brook, the principal stream, rises in the
southern part of the town, flows a north-easterly course and joins Tinmouth
River in Clarendon. Castleton River crosses the northern part of the town,
flowing a westerly course. The township is also crossed here by the Rutland
& Washington Railroad. The timber is that peculiar to mountain districts,
— namely, beech, birch, maple and hemlock, with some pine and ash. In
some sections maple abounds to a great extent, from which is manufactured
large quantities of sugar.
In 1880 Ira had a population of 479, was divided into five school districts
and contained five common schools, employing two male and nine female
teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $756.50. There were
123 pupils attending common schools, and the total cost of the schools for
the year was $794.01. Simon L. Peck was superintendent.
Ira, (p. o.) a small hamlet, located in the eastern part of the town, is the-
only settlement of any extent, and contains a church, one blacksmith shop, a
town hall and several dwellings.
Limestone is found in some parts of the town, from which is made a very
good quality of lime. The lime-kiln of A. E. 6^ S. W. -Day, located on
road 9, manufactures about 2,000 barrels per annum.
Stnith Johnso7is saw mill, located in the north part of the town, manu-
factures 75,000 feet of lumber per year.
Lincoln 6^ Day's sazv mill, located at Ira, on Ira Brook, manufactures
1,000 feet of lumber per day.

146 TOWN OF IRA.
Among the first settlers of Ira are found the names of Sherman, CoHins,
Carpenter and Lee. Just at what date they settled in the town is, so far as
we can learn, not known, hut it was probably about the year 1770. The
Lees settled in that portion of the town called "Ira Hollow," which contains
some of the most fertile land in the town. Here the Lee family had 324
acres of land, and quite a jiortion of it under cultivation. Lee, hov/ever,
became a tory and sympathized with his mother country. For this he had
to suffer the penalty ; accordingly, on the 24th of February, 1779, his farm
was confiscated and he was obliged to leave ^he town under penalty of the
" beech seal." His farm was sold for one hundred pounds, to Thomas
Collins, of Lanesborough, Mass.
The first marriage recorded in the town was that of Isaac Clark and
Hannah, daughter of Gov. Chittenden, the ceremony being performed by
the Governor, on the 5th of September, 1779.
The first birth was Olive, daughter of George and Olive Sherman, Sept. 5,
1773. The first death recorded is that of Hannah Baker, daughter of John
Baker, on the 24th of February, 1785.
Preserved Fish came to Ira from Berkshire, Mass., in 1790, and was
married the following year to Abigail Carpenter, by whom he had twelve
children ; she outliving him about two years and six months. Mr. Fish, when
he first came to the town, worked at the mason trade. He held different
offices in the town for many years, was a magistrate for over forty years,
town clerk two years, represented the town thirteen years, and was foreman
of the grand jury so often that the boys of Rutland had for a by-word "a
true bill, P. Fish, foreman." Mr. Fish died October 10, 1849, i" '^is 79th
year. Bradley Fish, a grandson of Preserved Fish, is still a resident of Ira.
He has represented his district twelve years, i860 to 1873, and was associate
judge in 1870, '71 and '72. There are numerous other representatives of
the family in town.
Abijah Ellis, whose father was one of the early inhabitants of Pittsford,
came to Ira in 1850, and has since held several offices of trust in the town-
ship.
Justus CoUins came to Ira among the early settlers, locating about one
mile south of Ira hamlet, where he died at an advanced age. His son Harry
now owns and occupies the old homestead, where he is extensively engaged
in breeding blooded stock.
Caleb Williams came to this town at an early date, residing here until his
death, in 1872. His son, Cornelius, is still a resident of the town.
Cephas Carpenter settled upon the farm now owned by Capt. Enos Fish,
and was followed a few years after by his brother, Wilson, who settled in the
south part of the town, where he resided until his death in 1855, at the age of
88. He had a family of eleven children.
Captain Enos C. Fish was born herein 1809, and has never been absent
from the town four consecutive weeks during his life.

Peter Parker came to Ira about 1790. Mr. Parker was rather an eccentric
individual, of whom there is extant many humorous anecdotes. He was
a great story-teller and doted on his courage as a fighter. A short time after
he came to Ira, a few roguish boys, one night, learning that Peter would ])ass
through the woods to the north part of the town, a little east of Bird Moun-
tain, got some clothes and stuffed them with straw, so as to resemble a human
being, and attached it to a tree over the road, in such a manner as to move it
back and forth. Peter approached the object in war-like array, with fists
drawn, and addressed it as follows : — " Who are you, God, man, or the devil? "
and drew his fist and knocked it down, emptied out the straw, and carried off"
the clothes, which he needed. He left Ira about 1830, going to Hampton,
Washington County, N. Y., where he subsequently died at an advanced age.
Daniel Giddmgs, one of the earliest settlers, planted, the first year he was
in the town, a half acre of corn. In this corn-field he killed thirteen bears.
During the war of 18 12, six minute men volunteered from Ira. At the
time of the battle of Plattsburgh, the news came to Ira by a despatch to
Preserved Fish, to start at once to West Clarendon and notify the people
there. This Mr. Fish did, and upon the arrival of the despatch, the people
were at meeting, but the meeting was immediately broken up and cooking
commenced, so that early the next morning, Monday, a company started, pro-
visioned, for Plattsburgh. Preserved Fish at this time oftered five dollars ex-
tra per month, from his own pocket, to each man who would volunteer.
During the war of 1861 and '65 Ira furnished the following three years'
men : — Silas Giddings, Edward Haley, John Hunter, Joseph W. Parker,
Aaron Savory, Cornelius Curtis, Thomas Long, Henry Tower, Henry
Peters, Levi Plumly, Wm. H. Walker, James Fuller, Henry Davis, Charles
W. Peck, Harrison Peck, CoUamer Persons, Rollin Russell, Sylvanus Wet-
more, Manser Young, John Batchelder, Benjamin Mann, Wm. Hogle. One
year's men : — James Fox, H. H. Wheeler, Henry Flagg. Nine months'
men : — L. C. Parker, Charles Pateman, George Brown, Gilbert Hanly,
Aaron Hinckly, Arthur Morgan, Cyrus Russell, Emmet M. Tower, James C.
Wetmore, John Boar, Henry C. Tower. Three months' men : — Albert Fish
and George Lincoln.
The town clerks of Ira have been as follows: — Isaac Clark, May 31st,
17797 Joseph Wood, March 30th, 1780; George Sherman, March 15th,
1781 ; John Baker, March 24th, 1788 ; Cephas Carpenter, March 8th, 1792 ;
George Sherman, March, 1801 ; Cephas Carpenter, March, 1802 ; Preserved
Fish, March 2d, 1819 ; John Mason, March 7th, 1820; Preserved Fish,
March ist, 1821 ; John Mason, March nth, 1823; Bradley Fish, June 4th,
1 86 1. Mr. Fish has since that time filled the office. Cephas Carpenter held
the office 25 years, and John Mason 39 years.
The Baptist Church, located at Ira, was organized in 1783, by the Rev.
Thomas Skeels, who was their first pastor. What the membership was at its
organization is not known, but it at present has 106 members, although they

have no regular pastor. The church building was erected in 1853, at a cost
of about $2,000. The building committee was Leonard Morse, Bradley
Fish and John Morse. The building will comfortably accommodate about
three hundred persons, and is valued, including grounds, at about $2,000.
•EN DON is located near the centre of the eastern part of the county,
in lat. 43" 37' and Ion. 4° 10', east from Washington, and is bounded
north by Chittenden, east by Sherburne, south by Shrewsbury, and
west by Rutland. The township was chartered under the name of Medway,
by Gov. Thomas Chittenden, February 35th, 1781, to Hon. Joseph Bowker
and thirty-four associates, and then contained 8,890 acres. November 7th,
1804, a portion of land called "Parker's Gore" was annexed and the name
of Medway changed to Parkerstown.
Parker's Gore was a tract of land bought of the county by Jonathan
Parker, of Ri^tland, in 1 804. This tract was to have been sold to the highest
bidder by the high sheriff of the county, which office was then held by
Abraham Ives, of Wallingford. On the day advertised for the sale to take
place, Ives opened the sale at 12 o'clock at night, in the interest of certain
Rutland men. Parker therefore bought the land at a nominal value, making
the sale of advantage to said sheriff. For this crookedness Ives was obliged
to resign his office and leave the State to evade prosecution. The township
retained the name of Parkerstown until November 6th, 1827, when it was
changed to the present one of Mendon.
The town was organized March 11, 1806, and the first town meeting held
on this day at the residence of Johnson Richardson, the first justice of the
peace. At this meeting Darius Shipman was chosen moderator ; John Page,
town clerk, and Benjamin Farmer, Johnson Richardson and Daniel Bradish,
selectmen. The selectmen were also appointed a committee to receive a
deed of Jonathan Parker for a certain mill-privilege for the use of the town.
Mendon lies mostly on the Green Moun-
tains, and the surface is very broken and un-
even. Much of the land is high and cold,
being unfit for settlement or cultivation. There
is some good farming-land, however, especi-
ally along its western border, and much good
grazing land. Sheep-growing is carried on
quite extensively, but as large portions of the
town are covered by heavy forests, lumbering
forms the principal industry of the people.
The town is watered by numerous mountain-
-.N^juijj streams, abounding in trout and affording good
(Trouting.) mill-sites, of which East Creek, flowing a
westerly course through the northern part of the town, is the largest.
TOWN OF MENDON. 149
In 1880 Mendon had a population of 629, was divided into seven school
districts and had six common schools, employing ten female teachers, at an
aggregate salary of $603.88., The number of pupils attending common schools
was 150, and the total cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st,
was $689.18. Dr. Orel Cook was school superintendent.
Mendon, (p. o.) a hamlet located in the north-western part of the town, is
the only settlement. It contains one store, one blacksmith shop, one saw-
mill, one church (M. E.), and about one hundred inhabitants.
E. H. Ripley's saw-mi//, located at Mendon, was built in 1853, by William
Y. Ripley. It cuts about 2,000 feet of lumber per day.
Ore/ Cook's saw-mill, on East Creek, was rebuilt by him in 1871. It has
a capacity of about 5,000 feet of lumber per day.
Darius Coutt's saw-tnill, located on East Creek, was built about the year
1836. It has since been rebuilt and a circular-saw added, and now has a ca-
pacity of about 4,000 feet of lumber per day.
Of the first settlers of Mendon but Uttle is known, although many grand-
children of the early settlers still reside in the town. In 181 1 Mendon had
only eleven voters. The first birth recorded in the town was Trowbridge
Maynard Richardson, son of Johnson and Sibel Richardson, born November
17, 1800, and died May 6, 1803. The first marriage recorded was that of
Simon Parker and Lucy Perkins, by Johnson Richardson, justice of the peace,
January 2, 18 10. Johnson Richardson was also the first representative,
elected in 1812.
Jonathan Eggleston, from Pequomick, Conn., Johnson Richardson and
some of the first town officers, with their families, were the first settlers of the
town. Eggleston settled in the north-west part of the town about the year
1792, and many of his descendants still reside there. The first tavern was
kept by Johnson Richardson, in the northern part of the town, near East
Creek. The building has long since gone to decay, and in the middle of what
was once the cellar, there is growing a tree about two feet in diameter.
The Indian " Capt. John " was quite a character in the town, being the
only Indian, so far as known, ever living within its hmits. He belonged to
some tribe in the western part of New York, from whom he had to flee for
exposing some of their plans to the whites.
It seems they had planned the massacre of a white settlement near their
village, and John, being friendly, warned the whites of their danger. They
accordingly were prepared, and repelled the Indians when they made the at-
tack. For this act John was obliged to flee from his people to the whites ;
they, however, mistrusted him, and as a punishment sht both |^is ears. He
subsequently joined the American army, where he acted as a scout, and was
afterward pensioned by the Government for his services. After leaving the
army, not daring to be seen by his people, he fled to the wilds of Parkerstown,
and built a camp not far from Johnson Richardson's, dwelling here and in the
surrounding towns for many years. Indians from his tribe often came here
150 TOWN OF MENDON.
in search of him, but the whites would secrete him until they left. On one
occasion John was cornered by three Indians, when he promptly shot two of
them and wounded the third. After this he wa^ molested no more. John
lived to be very old, none knew his age, but was supposed to be about ninety
when he died.
In May, 187 1, a large fire occurred in the part of Mendon called the
" Notch." by which a saw-mill, two barns and seven dweUings were burned,
with the goods and household stuff they contained. Several families were left
destitute. The loss was estimated at about $20,000.00.
Zidon Edson from Grafton, Vt, was one of the early settlers of Parkers-
town. He built the fiist mill in town, in 18 10, which was destroyed by a
freshet in 181 1.
James K. Pearson came to Mendon from Rutland in 1835. He was a
prominent man and held several town ofiFices. He died in March, 1853.
Cyrus Edson from Bridgewater, Mass., moved to Parkerstown in 1825,
where he Hved until his death, at the advanced age of 85.
William Shedd was one of the early settlers of Rutland, and subsequently
removed to Mendon, in 1846, where he resided until his death, April 26, 1873.
His son, Henry, born June 5, 1841, came to Mendon with his father and has
resided in the town ever since; he represented the town in the General
Assembly in 1880, and has been selectman a number of years.
Daniel Gleason, with his son Abel, came to Rutland from Keene, N. H.,
about the year 1800. Henry, son of Abel, is now a resident of Mendon.
Dr. Orel Cook was born in Rutland in 1813, and located in Mendon in
1870. Dr. Cook was graduated at Dartmouth College. During the war he
was acting surgeon of the hospital at Eouisville, Ky. He has held various
offices in the town, and was a member of Assembly from Mendon in 1872
and '74, and is now State Senator.
The following is a list of the town clerks since the organization of the
town: John Page, 1806; Johnson Richardson, 1808; John Page, 1809;
Phihp Perkins, 1810; Zidon Edson, 1811; John Shaw, 1812; Wm. Sabin,
1813 ; Elisha Easterbrooks, 1817; Nathan Fisher, 1823; Draper Ruggles,
1833; Edward Mussey, 1834; Ira Seward, 1835; Edward Mussey, 1836;
Zidon Edson, 1840; James K. Pearson, 1841; Ebon C. French, 1850;
James K. Pearson, 1852 ; J. R. Royce Pearson, 1863 ; Alpheus S. Snow,
1855; James W. Kimball, 1857; James E. Seward, 1859; Newton Squires,
i860. Mr. Squires still holds the office, 1881.
While Johnson Richardson was keeping the pubHc house at Mendon, it
was necessary for Mrs. Richardson to keep a servant. On one occasion this
servant happened to be a bright, smart lass, by the name of Lydia Fales.
Mrs Richardson's son, Rufus, had an eye for beauty, and consequently paid
numerous little attentions to the pretty Lydia, and as a natural consequence,
they soon became very much in love with each other. Both were
"workers," and quite economical, and neither liked to spare time to go

to Rutland to get married, that being the nearest place they could get
any one to perform the ceremony. Thus affairs stood, until one day Esq.
Williams of Rutland, while on his way to Woodstock, stopped at Richardson's
to bait his horse. Lydia was washing that day, and had finished all but
mopping the floor. She was right in the midst of this healthful exercise, when
Rufus came rushing in and informed her a justice of the peace was in the
house, and they could be married immediately. This Lydia agreed to,_ pro-
viding she could have the ceremony performed just as she was, without hav-
ing to stop to change her dress. This was agreed to, and she dropped her
mop, the Squire came and performed the ceremony, after which she resumed
her work. She made him a good wife, was a good ■ neighbor, and a kind
mother to a large family of children. Rufus became one of the first busi-
ness men of the town, and was considered so as long as he lived.
During the late war of 1861 and '65, Mendon furnished, in number, for
soldiers, more than half the number of legal voters in the town, paid $13,000
bounty money, and $2,400 commutation money. She also furnished two
men over the quota required of her. Quite a number of men belonging to
Mendon, enlisted in and went for other towns.
The Methodist Episcopal Church of Mendon, located at Mendon village,
was organized by the Union Society, July 28, 1859, with Elder Spencer as
pastor. At its organization it had but twenty members, the membership
having since increased to forty, with John S. Mott for their present pastor.
The building was erected in i860, will comfortably seat about 300 persons,
and cost $1,000. The value of the church property is at present estimated
at about $1,200.
^»IDDLETOWN is situated in the south-west part of the county, in
*^^* lat. 43° 28', and long. 3° 57' east from Washington, bounded north
W by Poultney and Ira, east by Ira and Tinmouth, south by Tinmouth
and Wells, and west by Wells and Poultney, the territory which comprises
it being taken from these four towns. It is entirely surrounded by high
mountains, causing ingress and egress to be exceedingly inconvenient, if not
to say difficult ; and it is owing to this fact that the town is in existence.
This statement will be explained by the following extract from the records of
the February session of the General Assembly of the State of Vermont, held
at Bennington, in 1784: —
" A petition signed by Joseph Spaulding and fifty others, inhabitants of
the north-west corner of Tinmouth, north-east corner of Wells, south-east
corner of Poultney, and south-west corner of Ira, setting forth that the
mountains around them are so impracticable to pass that it is with great
trouble and difficulty that they can meet with the towns they belong to, in
town and other meetings, &c., and praying that they may be incorporated
into a town, with the privileges, &c., was read and referred to a committee of
five, to join a committee from the Council, to take the same into consider-
ation, state facts and make report. The members chosen were Mr. Whipple,
Moses Robinson, Mr. Jewett, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Cogsell."
152
TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN.
That the committee looked upon the matter in a favorable light is shown
by the following Act of the Legislature, in session at Rutland, on the 28th of
October, 1784 : —
" Whereas, the inhabitants of a part of the towns of Wells, Tinmouth,
Poultney and Ira, which are included in the bounds hereinafter described,
have, by their petition represented, that they labor under great inconvenience
with meeting with their several towns for public worship and town business,
by reason of being surrounded by high mountains.
" Be it therefore enacted, and it is hereby enacted by the representa-
tives of the freemen of the State of Vermont in General As-
sembly met, and by authority of the same, that the tract of land
or district of land hereinafter described, be and is hereby created and incor-
porated into a township, by the name of Middletown, and the inhabitants
thereof and their succes-sors with the like privileges and prerogatives which
the other towns in the state are invested with, viz : Beginning at a beech
tree marked, standing west 26° south 310 chains from the north-east corner
of Wells ; thence east 40° south 290 chains, to a white ash tree standing in
Tinmouth west Hne ; thence east 10'^ south 45 chains, to a beech marked;
thence north -2^-}^° east 264 chains, to a beech tree marked; thence north 10°
west Ti'h'S chains, to a stake and stones standing in Poultney, east line; thence
south 10" west 28 chains, to stake and stones; thence west ii'" north 60
chains, to a small beech marked ; thence south 45 chains, to a hard beech
tree; thence west 40° south 207 chains 5 links, to a stake and stones stand-
ing in Wells north line; thence west south 4 chains, to a stake; thence
south 10" west 185 chains, to the first mentioned bounds."
From the north-west corner of Tinmouth was taken 3,510 acres ; from the
north-east corner of Wells, 6,118 acres; from the south-east corner of
Poultney, 2,388 acres, and from the south-west comer of Ira, 1,825 acres,
giving the township an area of 13,841 acres. Joseph Spaulding, the first in-
stigator of the petition presented at Bennington, was a practical surveyor.
He took the lead in the movement, and made the survey of the town, in
which he was governed by his own judgment, the people submitting that mat-
ter to him, and he seems to have given general satisfaction in his decision.
After he had made his survey, and completed his arrangements for bringing
the matter before the Legislature, the people conceded to him the honor of
naming the town, which he did. Mr. Spaulding had removed to this section
from Middletown, Conn., hence that name was thereby suggested to
him as being very appropriate, as the new township would lie in the
middle of a section composed of four towns. On the 17th of the
following month (November, 1784) a meeting for the organization of the
town was held at the Congregational church, then a log structure, standing
near the south-east corner of the burial ground. At this meeting Edmund
Bigelow was chosen moderator ; Joseph Rockwell, town clerk, and Edmund
Bigelow, justice of the peace. A committee was also appointed, consisting
of Edmund Bigelow, Joseph Rockwell and Joseph Spaulding, to reckon with
several of the inhabitants of the town, respecting the costs made in getting
the town established, for which services the said committee, at an adjourned
meeting, were voted ^2. 12s. 6d. The first annual town meeting was held
TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. 153
March 7th, 1785, at which Hon. Thomas Porter, of Tinmouth, was chosen
moderator ; Joseph Rockwell, town clerk ; Jonathan Brewster, Jacob Wood
and Edmund Bigelow, selectmen ; Caleb Smith, town treasurer ; Ephraim
Wood, constable ; Asher Blunt, Jona Griswold, Reuben Searl, listers ; Silas
Mallary, collector; Jona Frisbie, leather sealer; Samuel Sunderlin, Reuben
Searl, grand jurymen ; Nathan Record, tithing-man ; Elisha Gilbert, hay ward :
Caleb Smith, brander of horses; Increase Rudd, sealer of measures ; Edmund
Bigelow, sealer of weights ; Abraham White, Solomon Hill, John Sunderhn,
Benjamin Haskins, Benjamin Coy, Phineas Clough and James McClure,
highway surveyors ; Luther Filmore, pound-keeper ; Thomas Morgan, Wm.
Frisbie and Increase Rudd, fence viewers.
The surface of Middletown is broken and uneven, but still retains some
intervales of arable productive land. The hills and mountain-sides afford
pasturage for large herds of sheep and cattle ; hence it is that the township
is noted rather as a stock and wool-growing section than a grain-growing
district. The rocks are those peculiar to most of the country lying on the
Taconic range of mountains, Talcoid schist preponderating. The soil is
mostly a gravelly loam, with some alluvial deposit from the mountains, both
affording good farming-land, and especially along the Poultney River, where
are found many excellent farms. The products are wheat, oats, rye, buck-
wheat, Indian corn, potatoes and hay.
The only considerable stream is Poultney River, which has, however,
numerous small tributaries. It rises in Tinmouth and flows a westerly course
through this township into Poultney. The timber is mostly beech, birch,
maple, hemlock, cedar, spruce and ash. From the maple large quantities of
sugar is manufactured.
In 1880 Middletown had a population of 824, with eight common schools,
employing three male, and ten female teachers, at an aggregate salary of
$823.50. There were 160 pupils attending common schools, and the entire
cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st., was $1,025.60. Mr.
L. H. Jennings was superintendent.
Middletown Springs, a post village located in the central part of the town,
on Poultney River, has three hotels, four stores, two cheese factories, three
churches, one foundry, two blacksmith shops, the horse power and threshing
machine works of A. W. Gray's Sons, and about fifty dwellings.
The village is also noted for the mineral springs found here, from which it
derives its name. The springs are situated on the north bank of the river,
and are said, in tradition, to have been used by the red man as far back as
were those at Saratoga. Be that as it may, a century ago they were found
by the first settlers, led to them by the Indians, and were used with great
benefit ; but being off the line of any great thoroughfare, and the country at
that time a wilderness, their use was local. But in the great freshet of the
year 181 1, the great storm flooded the Poultney River, and it overflowed its
banks, cut a new channel and left these springs buried deep under hundreds

of tons of dirt and debris. Their history was almost lost, and they existed
only in tradition. Young men and maidens grew to manhood and woman-
hood— to old age; saw their grandchildren rise up to take their places, and
after more than half a century, in 1868, another flood sent the Poultney
River over its banks, and by a freak of nature it undid what it had before
done, and so cutting through the deposit of dirt and gravel, these healing
fountains were again uncovered. Now the country is cleared. The woods
have been swept back to the hill tops, and a numerous and busy population
surrounds them, while hundreds come many miles each year to drink of the
healthful waters.
The Montvert Hotel, connected with the Springs property, an elegant and
commodious house, passed into the hands of A. W. Gray's Sons, and by them
was last spring sold to the Montvert Hotel Company, Limited, with Thos. B.
Wilson Esq., of New York, one of the company, as manager. The house
has been thoroughly refurnished, and fitted in first class style, and on July
4th, was formerly opened with a grand celebration and display of fire-works
in the evening.
A. W. Grafs Sons manufactory, situated on Poultney River, at this village,
is operated by both water and steam power. The firm have been in con-
tinual business here for the last forty years. At the opening of the shops,
the farm labor of the country was almost entirely done by hand, the plough
and the drag being almost the only implements in common use by the
farmers, in which the power of the horse was substituted for that of man.
The cultivator, drill, threshing-machine, wood-saw, mowing-machine, horse-
rake and reaper have been introduced since. This firm began with A. W.
Gray, the father, in a small way and with rude machinery ; the business has
increased and the machines been improved until they are now able to offer
the perfected machines of the present day. The present proprietors were
brought up as boys in the shop, and taught to make every part of either wood or
metal of each machine manufactured by them, having invented and perfected
many of the devices in use in the machines. Arriving at manhood, they
became interested as partners in the business. Many years since they assumed
the sole control, and five years since became the sole owners, and have since
then conducted the business under the name of A. W. Gray's Sons, by which
they are widely known through the whole country, as manufacturers of agri-
cultural implements, etc. They employ about 50 men and manufacture
about 1,200 different machines each year.
Smiths carriage manufactory, located at Middletown Springs, opposite
the works of A. W. Gray's Sons, was estabhshed in 1871. He manufactures
all kinds of wagons and carriages, and also does repairing.
Spriftg Valley Cheese Factory, located at Middletown Springs, was built by
a stock company in 1876. It has the capacity for manufacturing cheese from
the milk of 400 cows.
Middletown Cheese Factory was one of the first established in the State.
TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN. 1 55
It has facilities for manufacturing the milk from 700 cows, but only uses the
milk of a little over six hundred.
C/itie's grist and saiv mill is located on Poultney River, one half mile
east of Middletown Springs. The grist-mill has one run of stones and does
mostly custom work. The saw-mill has the capacity for cutting 3,000 feet of
lumber per day.
Atwater's cider-mill, located about three miles south of Middletown
Springs, on road 24, has the capacity for making 20 barrels of cider per day.
The exact date when the first settlers came here perhaps cannot be given.
It was, however, before the Revolutionary war, and probably but a short
time before. Settlement was commenced by Thomas Morgan, Richard and
Benjamin Haskins, Phineas Clough and Luther Filmore. Thomas Morgan
built the first frame house in town, nearly one mile south of the village, on
the farm now owned by his grandson, Daniel Morgan. Mr. Morgan lived
here until his death, which occurred in the year 1841. When he came to the
town it was an unbroken wilderness, and he could only find his way by marked
trees. After he came and commenced clearing the forest, he purchased 100
acres of land about one mile from where the village now stands, and put up
a log house a i^-^ feet from where the framed house now stands on the old
" Morgan Farm." By the summer of 1777 he had made considerable progress
in clearing up his land, as he had that summer four acres of wheat, but he
was called away to Bennington by the Revolution, and his wheat was never
harvested.
Richard Haskins commenced settlement a Httle east of the village. He,
too, in 1777, had two acres of wheat which he never harvested, but went to
Bennington.
Benj. Hoskins built a log house and commenced settlement a Httle east of
the village. Luther Filmore put up a log house on the south-west corner of
what is known as the " Green," in the village. Where Phineas Clough first
located is not positively known ; but he early settled on what has since
been known as the " Orcutt Farm."
These five men are all who are known to have been here before the Revo-
utionary war. They all left in the summer of 1777, joined the mihtia at
Manchester, and were all in Bennington battle.
The first mills v/ere built by Gideon Miner in 1782. They were located
about one-half mile east of where the village now is. Mr. Morgan assisted
Mr. Miner, as a workman, in building the mills. Morgan brought the mill-
irons from Bennington on a horse. After the Revolution, when the settlers
had again returned to their farms, immigration became rapid, for in the fall
of 1784, the people petitioned the Legislature for a new town. It can readi-
ly be seen that the settlers upon those parts of the then towns of Poultney,
Ira, Tinmouth and Wells, now included in the limits of Middletown, would
naturally become a community by themselves, and unite their interests and
feelings in spite of town lines. They had already done so — two churches had
156 TOWN OF MIDDLETOWN.
been organized, and a log meeting-house erected, and the members of the
church were from the four towns, but had a common centre, where it has been
since and now is. If those town lines had never been changed, there must
have been the same churches here, the same business, the same village. Na-
ture formed the territory for a town, and as the settlers increased in numbers,
they became aware of it and petitioned, as has been seen, the Legislature for
the same.
On the farm of E. B. Cook is an old house, built about 100 years ago by
Caleb Smith. Mr. Cook intends to tear it down this year and build anew on
its site.
Asa Gardner was one of the early settlers of the township, settling about
two miles north of the village. Aimer, his son, was born in this town, where
he resided until his death, in 1877, at the age of 82 years. Charles, brother
of Aimer, is still living, the oldest man in the township, aged 88. The Gard-
ner place is situated on road 2, and contains the oldest house in town, being
built in 1778.
Nathaniel Cleft was born in the town of Ira, April i, 1800. where he resid-
ed until 1838, when he removed to this town and settled on road 2, on the
farm now owned by his son, H. R. Cleft. He died Dec. 7, 1875.
Joseph Spaulding, who laid out and surveyed the township, was also the
first school teacher in the town, having taught in a log meeting house, where
the village now stands. He lived one mile north of the village, where he died
at the age of 96 years. His son Joseph came to the town a few years after
his father, and located near the village, but afterward lived in various parts of
the town. His son Harley is still living in town.
Gideon Buel, an early settler of Middletown, left two sons and one daugh-
ter, named Jared, Julia and Boswell, Sen. Boswell Buel, Sen., represented
the town in the State Legislature during the years i860 and '61. His son,
Boswell, Jr., represented the town in 1850, and was a member of the Consti-
tutional Convention in 1870, and a member of the Legislature in 1870, '72,
'74, '75 and '76. He was instrumental in getting an appropriation of six
hundred dollars for the Nathaniel Chipman monument of 1873, and in 1874
an appropriation of $150 for the purpose of erecting an iron fence around
said monument.
Samuel Hutchings settled in the town at an early date. His daughter,
Anna Clark, still resides here, at the advanced age of 85 years.
Moses E. Vail, an old resident of Middletown, is a son of Micah, and grand-
son of Edward Vail, early settlers of Danby, spoken of in the Danby history.
Moses engaged in mercantile pursuits in Middletown as early as 1841, retir-
ing from active business in 1875. His son, C. B. Vail, is now one of the
prominent merchants of Rutland village.
The freshet spoken of as having changed the course of Poultney River,
did a great deal of damage to the town. It occurred in July, 181 1. Many
houses at the village, and all the mills and machinery, except those now
TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. i^y
known as Gray's Mills, were swept away. The disastrous effects of this flood
were severely felt in Middletown for many years, and indeed the town, as a
place of business, never fully recovered from it. John Burnam, who had
been the leading business man of the town, was becoming an old man, and
felt disinclined to undergo the necessary labor and care which would be
required to start anew in so extensive a business as he had done. He, how-
ever, rebuilt his forge and saw mill, which were in operation some years after
that, but without the activity which his former mills had shown. A good
many men were thrown out of em[)loyment, and were obliged to seek else-
where. At the census of 1820 the population of the town was but 1,039, ^
falling off of 168 from 18 10, owing in a great measure, if not entirely, to the
sad effects of the freshet. Yet, notwithstanding the great destruction of
property, Middletown continued, and still is, a lively little place.
TAe Congregational Chnrch, located at Middletown Springs, was organized
in 1780, by the Rev. Mr. Hibbard, who was the first minister. The church
building is a comfortable structure, capable of seating 300 persons, erected in
1796, and, including grounds, is valued at $4,000. The society now has a
membership of 85, with Osborn Myrick as pastor.
Middletown Baptist Churc/i, located at Middletown Springs, was organized
by a delegation from Manchester and Danby, in the year 1784, with Rev.
Sylvanus Haynes as pastor. The building was erected in 1806, and is
valued at about $5,500, with a seating capacity of about 250. The society
has now about 70 members, with Rev. T. H. Archibald as pastor.
The M. E. Church of Middletotvn, located at Middletown Springs, was or-
ganized by the Rev. Samuel Young, on Nov. 24, 1835, with a membership of
nine. The society now has fourteen members, with no regular pastor. The
building was erected in the year 1836. It has a seating capacity of 200, and
together with the property at the time it was built, was valued at $1,200; but
has since decreased in value, so that it is now estimated at about $1,000.
The Second Advent Chnrch, located at Middletown Springs, was organized
by Elder C. Kingsley in 1879, and consisted of 17 members. They have
erected no building yet, and hold their services in the hall. The society now
consists of 20 members, with Rev. W. O. Bibbins, of Rutland, pastor.
lOUNT HOLLY, located in the eastern part of the county, in lat. 43°
^If'^ 29' and long. 4''' 14' east from Washington, was not one of the original
W townships. In surveying the towns on the east and west sides of the
Green Mountains, there was left between Ludlow, on the east, and Walling-
ford, on the west, a gore of land called ''Jackson's Gore" — taking its name
from Abraham Jackson, one of the original proprietors, and an early settler
on the Gore. It will be seen that the State widens as we proceed north from
the Massachusetts line, the west line being straight, and supposed to be a
continuation of the old "twenty mile line" spoken of on page 54, while the
east line was the west bank of the Connecticut River, which tends eastward.
158 TOWN OF MT. HOLLY.
Gov. Wentworth, in chartering the towns of Vermont, laid them out in town-
ships, each six miles square, beginning at the south end of the State. As he
surveyed farther north, those on the east followed the river, while the west-
ward towns were laid out in a straight line. For the first forty miles the State
is nearly uniform, being some thirty-five miles or more in width ; but farther
north it widens, and as the outside towns were first surveyed, the widening
gore in the center of the State was left unchartered. In the years 1780 and
'Si, Vermont, then strugghng into existence, was passing through a fearful
ordeal.
The Continental Congress had ordered Vermont to <:frti-^ /^ be, "To for-
bear and abstain from all acts of authority, civil or military." Governor
Chittenden had rephed, July 25, 1780, protesting against the action, and
notified the President of Congress that '"Vermont has no alternative. She
must either submit to the unwarrantable decree of Congress, or continue her
appeal to Heaven and to arms." Accordingly, the General Assembly, at its
October session in 1780, deliberately determined to raise money to put Ver-
mont on a war footing. To do this, they resorted to three expedients, ist,
the confiscation and sale of the lands and effects of all British adherents ;
which expedient alone, put into the treasury ^430,000 ; 2d, the sale of all
ungranted lands ; 3d, the issue of money. Under the 2d expedient, Jack-
son Gore was granted or chartered to Abraham Jackson, Jr., and twenty-nine
associated residents of Wallingford, among whom were Mathew Lyon, the
Clarks — four brothers — the Ives, etc. The charter. is dated Feb. 23, 1781,
and reads as follows : —
" Resolved, That a certain tract or gore of land, lying and being situate,
on the east side of WaUingford, containing by estimation nine thousand
seven hundred acres, be granted to Abraham Jackson, Esq., and his asso-
ciates to the number of thirty. To be annexed to, and incorporated with,
the town of Wallingford."
The granting fees were nine pounds per right, putting ^270 into the
treasury of Vermont.
In 1792 the present town of Mt. Holly was incorporated by the
Legislature, at the October session of that year, held at Rutland. The
town, as incorporated, was made up by adding to Jackson's Gore, on
the east, all that portion of the town of Ludlow lying west of the highest
ridge of what is called Ludlow Mountain, and on the west, one mile in width,
or two tiers of lots from the east side of the town of Wallingford. This con-
stitutes the present town of Mt. Holly, which, in point of territory or size,
ranks among the larger towns of the State. It is bounded north by Shrews-
bury and Plymouth, east by Ludlow, south by Weston, and west by WaUing-
ford and Mt. Tabor; it lies in a sort of shallow basin, or depression in the
Green Mountains. The old stage route from Burlington, via Rutland, to
Boston, passed through this town, and in the old days of stage coaches and
loaded teams, afforded, probably, the best place for crossing the mountains,
south of Montpelier.
TOWN OF MT. HOLLY.
159
The land was originally covered with a heavy growth of timber, consisting
of sugar-maple, beech, birch, spruce and hemlock, mainly, with a less amount
of fir, basswood, black and white ash, wild cherry and poplar. Since the
building of the railroad through the town, wood and lumber have been im-
portant items of traffic. The rock is mostly Green Mountain gneiss, though
in the extreme south part of the town limestone is found, from which very
good hme is made ; but it is not manufactured to any great extent, not even
as much so as formerly. There is also a deposit of asbestos, found about one
mile north-west from Mechanicsville, on the farm owned by Nathan and
Henry Smith. The soil is mostly a strong, somewhat heavy loam — in some
parts of the town, especially along the valley of Mill River — considerably
mixed with sand. Clay-beds are found in several localities suitable for
making brick.
The country is well watered by small streams and numerous springs ; Mill
River, being the largest, rises in the extreme south-west part of the town, and
running in a northerly direction, crosses a corner of Wallingford, through
Shrewsbury into Clarendon, where it empties into Otter Creek. All the
smaller streams on the western slope of the town empty into Mill River;
while those on the eastern slope find their way to Black River, and are
discharged into the Connecticut. There are several small lakes or ponds in
the town, of which Patch's Pond, situated in the north-eastern part, is the
largest, being about one mile in length by half-a-mile in width.
The soil being much better adapted to grass than grain, it is almost entirely
a grazing town. The farmers devote their attention to the raising of stock
and manufacture of butter and cheese, depending on the grain-growing
States of the west for their corn and flour. Large quantities of oats are
raised, which are used mostly in home consumption.
In 1880 the township had a population of 1,390, was divided into 12
school districts and had 12 common schools, employing three male and four-
teen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $1,234.00. There were 349
pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for the
year ending October 31, was $1,675.00, with Angil R. Crowley, superin-
tendent.
There is no large village in the town, but there are several small settle-
ments or hamlets, which are Signified by the title of " ville," as : Mechanics-
ville, Bowlsville, Tarbellsville, Hortonville, Healdville, Goodelville, etc.
Mechanicsville, a post village, situated two and one-half miles south of
Mt. Holly station, on the C. V. R. R., contains twenty-four dwellings, one
store, one chair-stock factory, one church (union), one blacksmith-shop and
Chase's toy factory. This toy manufactory is quite an extensive business,
employing thirty-five to forty men. It was commenced by Philip C. Chase
in 1863, and under his management has been a success from the first. He
employs both water and steam power, and manufactures 30 to 40 different
styles of children's wagons, carts and wheelbarrows.
l6o TOWN OF MT. HOLLY.
Healdville, (p. o.) a small hamlet and railroad station, is situated in the
eastern part of the town.
Mount Holly, (p. o.) situated near the central part of the town, is also a
small hamlet and R. R. station.
Tarbellville is situated about one mile west of Mechanicsville, and was
named after one of its residents, Marshall Tarbell. It contains one store, one
cheese factory, the manufactories of Marshall Tarbell, two blacksmith-shops,
and thirteen dwellings. Most of the hamlet is owned by Mr. Tarbell, who
carries on the manufacture of lumber, rakes and chair stock. The different
branches of business are at present conducted in one building, the factories
having twice been destroyed by fire; the first time on February 3d, 1858, and
again January 5, 1878. The first fire Mr. Tarbell had no insurance to cover
his loss. The second destroyed two shops, with sheds adjoining; also one
dwelhng and one horse-barn. The buildings were at the time filled with
goods, manufactured and in the process of manufacture, thus causing a loss
of about eight thousand dollars, covered by an insurance of only $1,900.
The present capacity of the saw mill is about 600,000 feet of lumber annu-
ally. The rake factory is probably the largest in New England, turning out
3,000 to 4,000 dozen per year, the most of which are exported to England.
The manufacture of chair stock consumes 250,000 to 300,000 feet of lumber
per year.
Tarbellville Cheese Factory is also under the supervision of Mr. Tarbell. It
uses the milk of 300 cows, and manufactures about' 65,000 lbs. of cheese
annually.
BowLESViLLE is situated about two miles west of Mt. Holly Station, on the
R. & B. R. R. It contains one church, (Advent,) a district school house,
and about ten dweUings. It takes its name from being the location of a fac-
tory for turning wooden bowls, and the manufacture of other wooden ware.
GoODELViLLE is a small settlement, situated in the western part of the town,
on Mill Creek, and contains one grist-mill and five dwellings.
HoRTONViLLE hamlet, situated one and three-quarter miles N. E. of Mt.
Holly station, contains one blacksmith shop, one wheelwright shop, one saw
and chair stock mill, one district school house, one cheese factory, and fifteen
dweUings.
Daniel C. Allard's mills are located in the west part of the town, about two
miles east of Mechanicsville, embracing a saw-mill and machinery for the
manufacture of chair-stock. The saw-mill has a capacity of about 6,000 feet
of lumber per day, employing about ten men.
Mt. Holly Cheese Factory, located one and one-half miles north-east of Mt.
Holly station, is owned and superintended by William Lord. It uses the
milk of four-hundred cows, and manufactures ninety thousand pounds of
cheese annually.
Warren Hortoti s saw mill, located about a quarter of a mile north-east
from this cheese factory, manufactures from three to four-hundred thousand
feet of spruce lumber per year.
TOWN OF MT. HOLLY. l6l
A. IV. Graves &^ Co.'s saw mill is situated about one and a half miles
south-west of Mechanicsville, and has the capacity for sawing 300,000 feet
of lumber per year, and manufactures 12,000 butter tubs annually. They
also manufacture chair stock to a considerable extent.
Farmente7- &^ Johnson's mill, located about one-half mile south-west of
Mechanicsville, manufactures chair-stock, and about 400,000 feet of lumber
per year.
Jedediah Hammond was probably about the first settler on the land com-
prised in the present town of Mt. Holly, having settled on the Jackson Gore,
in 1770, when he was but seventeen years of age; coming there from Old
Bedford, Mass. He was the second representative from the town, which
oflice he held for thirteen years, and was for several years justice of the peace
and deputy sheriff, and was a counselor at law for over forty years.
The first settlement in that part formerly called Ludlow, was made by the
famiUes of Joseph Green, Nathaniel Pingrey, Abraham Crawley, David Bent
and Silas Proctor, who emigrated thither about the year 1786. About 1789
and '90 settlement was made on the Gore, by the Clarks, Jacksons, Ives,
Lyon, &c., from Wallingford. The well kept records of Wallingford show
numerous actions that were had in town meeting that relate to the Gore,
and several early settlers held town office in Wallingford.
Abraham Jackson, Jr., was the son of Abraham Jackson, Esq., who is
erroneously credited with being the first settler of Walhngford. He came to
Wallingford from Connecticut with his father in 1773. They built a house
on a bend of Otter Creek, just east of the present residence of P. G. Clark,
Esq. After a residence in Wallingford of eight years, where he was first town
clerk, first inn-keeper and first representative, he settled near Mechanicsville,
on the Mead place. The pond is situated on what was his farm, and is
still called Jackson Pond. He was a prominent and influential man and
became the first representative of Mt. Holly.
Mathew Lyon sold his right to Jethro Jackson, a brother of Abraham and
a proprietor of the Gore. Jethro located at Bowlsville, building the first
grist mill.
The Clarks, who were residents of Wallingford and proprietors in the Gore
came to WalHngford in 1774 and settled both sides of Otter Creek, about
where the village now stands. Ichabod G., Stephen, John and Chauncey, joined
Warren's regiment from Walhngford, and the four brothers stood shoulder to
shoulder at Hubbardton and afterward at Bennington. Stephen settled in
Wallingford, where Robert Marsh now lives. He moved to Jackson Gore in
1781, and settled where Hilon Holden now resides. John settled on what is
called the Sprague place, and was afterwards first town clerk of Mt. Holly.
Chauncey joined him soon after. This family figures largely in the first eras
of the settlement of Mt. Holly.
The Ives family, Jonah, Ebenezer, Amos and Jotham, came to the Gore in
1 781, after a residence of six to eight years in Wallingford. Tradition says
—11
l62 TOWN OF MT. HOLLY.
that the Clarks, Ives, Jacksons and others sold their land upon Otter Creek
for one shilling per acre, and came to Mt. Holly for the purpose of "getting
rid of the cussed flies and mosquitoes," which they could not endure in Wal-
lingford. Jonah Ives settled on the farm now owned by Leverett Ives, where
he built a hut just opposite where the present house stands. Here he lived
several years, " keeping bachelor's hall," and the place was known for a long
time as Uncle Jonah's camp. It was in Uncle Jonah's hut that the first
death in the town occurred, caused by the accidental discharge of a gun.
The victim was a man by the name of Flanders, and at the time
of the accident he was " setting " the gun for a bear, in a neighboring corn-
field ; immediately after the accident, he was carried into Jonah's camp, where
he expired the following night, and was buried on the farm now owned by
Darius Perkins. The rude stone that marked his grave has long since been
torn away by the plow, and now nothing remains to mark the spot. When
Uncle Jonah first came to the town, bears, wolves and other wild animals
were plenteous, and a constant source of annoyance to the settlers.
The first hotel was kept by Joseph Green, near Healdville, where Wm. B.
and John P. Hoskins now reside. David Bent built the second, where Lewis
Barrett now resides, and the third was built by Stephen Clark, where David
Horton now resides. Lyman Clark and Martin Carviner built the first store,
at North Mt. Holly. Here the post-office was kept, with Stephen Clark as
first post-master, the mail being brought from Rutland on horseback.
Perry Green Dawley emigrated to Mt. Holly from Rhode Island with three
other famihes, about the year 1783, settHng on the farm now owned by Dor-
win G. Dawley. The same year his son Perry G. was born, being the first
male child born in the town. Perry G. Dawley died early in the year 1876,
at the advanced age of 93 years.
Jonas Holden, one of the early settlers, came to Mt. Holley in 1793, from
Ludlow. He was a revolutionary soldier, born at Gratton, Mass., August 8,
1752. At the battle of Bunker Hill, Jonas wore a red shirt, so he could
scarcely be distinguished from the English red-coats. After the Continental
army had retreated, Jonas still stood his ground and continued to fire as
though there was nothing wrong. He was soon detected by the British, how-
ever, and, while attempting to make his escape, was wounded in the hip ; he
fell, but was rescued by his comrades. For this act oif gallantry he was pro-
moted from the ranks to a first lieutenancy. Jonas built the second frame
house in the town, in about the year 1794 or '95. The whole town was then
covered with a dense forest, with the exception of here and there a small
clearing. The nearest grist-mill was at Cavendish, and he had to carry, or
drag his grain there, a distance of twelve miles, on a crotched stick, finding
his way through the forest by means of marked trees. This mode of convey-
ance was commonly used by the pioneers, and was called a " dray." Sarah
Holden, wife of Jonas, lived to the advanced age of 99 years, 9 months
and 18 days, retaining full possession of her mental faculties to the last. On
TOAVN OF MT. HOLLY. 1 63
one occasion she went to the " Green Stand " on horseback, where she was
detained until after dark ; on her way home she was attacked by a pack of
wolves, which followed her so closely that she was obhged to ride under a
tree and clamber up into its branches. The horse, eased of its burden, soon
reached home. The family, seeing that something was wrong, immediately
started in search of her, and found her some hours after, still perched in the
tree, guarded by wolves.
Silas, Jr., son of Silas Proctor, one of the earUest settlers, was killed by
the falling of a tree on Proctor hill, in the year 1832.
There are numerous anecdotes and traditions among the older inhabitants,
of accidents that happened stage coaches when the old stage line passed
through the town. About the year 1838 an accident occurred near the
town line, just below Healdville, by which one woman was killed and two
men seriously injured. It was caused by the stage tipping over an embank-
ment.
The first minister resident in the town was the Rev. Silas L. Bingham,
Congregationahst. The exact date of his settlement is not known, but was
about the year 1800. Meetings were held in barns and private houses, until
about 1802, when Mr. Bingham organized, and had buih a small Congrega-
tionahst church at Mt. Holly. This organization was kept up until 1856.
The Baptist Church of Mount Holly was organized September 6, 1804, by
a council called for that purpose, and contained 29 members, with Rev.
Daniel Packer as pastor. The present house of worship was erected in 185 1,
at a cost of about $2,000.00, and is now valued at about $2,500.00. The
present membership is about 122, of which 90 are resident. The Rev. O.
J. Taylor is at present pastor. The building will comfortably seat about 350
people.
The Union Church of Mechanicsville (Methodist Episcopal) was organized
in 1 81 5, by Elder Beaman, and consisted of about 20 members, with Elder
Beaman, pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1820, which was
succeeded by the present edifice in 1850, built by the Methodist and Baptist
societies, at a cost of about $i,75o-oo. the present value of the property
being about $3,700.00, with Rev. James E. Knapp, pastor. There are about
104 members.
The Advent Church at Bowlsville was organized by the Rev. D. Bosworth,
January 21, 1854, with a membership of nineteen. Mr. Bosworth is still
pastor, with a membersip of 45- The church will seat 300 people and is
valued at $800,00 to $1,000.00.
St. Mary's Church, (Roman Catholic,) located at North Mt. Holly, was
organized in 1874 by P. Kelly and J. Darcy. It then consisted of 34 mem-

a cost of $4,000.00, and is capable of seating 225 persons. Rev. J. C.
McLaughlin is the present pastor, with a membership of 80 families.
164 TOWN or MV. TAliOR.
^PEOUNT TABOR is located in the south-eastern corner of the county,
*^^ in lat. 43" 21' and long. 4" 8' east from Washington, bounded north
w by Wallingford and a small part of Mt. Holly, east by a small part
of Mt. Holly, and Weston in Windsor county, south by Peru in Benning-
ton County, and west by Danby. It was chartered under the name of Har-
wick, to Jonathan Willard and sixty others, by Benning Wentworth, of New
Hampshire, on the 28th day of August, 1761, and contained 23,040 acres.
The usual reservations of public lands were made in this charter, and with the
usual restrictions. The township of Harwick was organized March 17,
1788, with Gideon Tabor, moderator; John Jenkins, town clerk; John
Stafford, John Jenkins and Gideon Baker, selectmen. The township re-
tained the name of Harwick until the year 1803, when it was changed
to that of Mt. Tabor, so called in honor of Gideon Tabor, the first
moderator of the township. The change was made in consequence
of there being a town by the name of Hardwick in the State,
which sometimes caused miscarriage of mail matter. A part of the
town of Peru, 200 rods wide, east and west, and six miles long, was an-
nexed to Mt. Tabor in 1805, and remained with that township twenty
years, when it was annexed to Dorset. Other than this, there has been no
change made in the boundaries of the town.
The surface is very broken and mountainous, being situated almost entirely
upon the Green Mountain range ; it contains however some intervales of
good farming land, whereon is grown wheat, rye,- oats, barley, Indian corn,
etc. ; but by far the greater part of the farmer's wealth consists in his herds
and flocks. Many, however, have given up farming entirely, and turned
their attention to lumbering, considenng that far more lucrative, as a great
portion of the country is still covered by a dense primeval forest, the prin-
cipal timber of which is beech, birch, maple, cedar and spruce, interspersed
with hemlock, black and white ash. There are numerous small streams
distributed over the country, finding their way into Otter Creek, which flows
through a portion of the western part, affording numerous mill-sites. The
principal of the streams is called Roaring Branch, and rises in the south-
eastern part of the township, flows a north-easterly course, emptying into
Otter Creek. The Bennington and Rutland Railway also passes through a
portion of the western part, and Danby station is within the limits of this
town.
In 1880 Mt. Tabor had a population of 495, was divided into four
school districts and had three common schools, employing four female
teachers at an aggregate salary of $326.85. There were 93 pupils attending
common schools, and the total expense of the schools for the year ending
October 31st, was $359.96. Mr. M. Barrett was superintendent.
Brooklyn, (Mt. Tabor p. o.) the only settlement of any considerable size,
is a small village located in the western part of the township, on Roaring
Branch. It contains one store, three saw-mills, and about seventy-five inhab-
itants.
TOWN OF MT. TABOR. 1 65
N. E. Nicholas viilh, located on Roaring Branch, were built in 1862, and
purchased by him in 1867. They include a saw and planing-mill, and a
cheese-box and grain-measure factory. There are manufactured here 300,000
feet of lumber, 12,000 cheese-boxes and 5,000 grain-measures per annum.
C. H. Congdoris saw-will, located on Roaring Branch, was built in 1850,
and has the capacity for manufacturing about 5,000 feet of lumber per day.
John B. Stearnes saw-mill, located on Roaring Branch, was built in i860
by Marcellus Baker, and has the capacity for cutting 2,000 feet of lumber per
day.
S. S. Griffith' s saw-?nill, known as the "Greeley Mill," located on Roaring
Branch, was built in 1840. It has facilities for cutting 6,000 feet of lumber
per day. Mr. Griffith is also the proprietor of a steam-mill, located on road
5, which was erected in 1880, with the capacity for cutting 20,000 feet of lum-
ber per day. He is also quite extensively engaged in the manufacture of
charcoal.
Griffith 6- Mclntyre's steam-mill, located in the central part of the town-
ship, on Big Branch Creek, was built m 1872, with the capacity for cutting
30,000 feet of lumber per day.
About 300 acres of the best part of the town, including the Governor's lot,
in the valley of Otter Creek, was first settled, and titles obtained by pitches
and vendue sales for taxes. It was ascertained in 1857, by running the town
Une between Danby and Mt. Tabor, that parties claiming under Danby
had crowded into Mt. Tabor 10 rods at Danby borough, the centre of
said Une, which takes about 60 acres of land, 8 dwellings, the meeting-house
and the old banking-house, all treated as being in Danby, and will virtually
form Mt. Tabor, and remain so by acquiescence, unless an Act of the Leg-
islature or a judgment of Court sets it right. We find no record of any in-
habitants in Mt. Tabor at an earUer date than 1782; but there were prob-
ably settlers here nearly as early as in any town in this vicinity.
John Sweet came into the town in 1782, settUng on 60 acres of land lying
at the foot of the Green Mountains, on Otter Creek, in the south-west part of
the township. He was the first settler of whom we have any record. He re-
sided here for many years, dying in 1818, leaving a numerous family.
Gideon Baker soon after settled a little to the north of Mr. Sweet, and was
one of the first selectmen and represented the town in the Legislature. His
kitchen was used as a place for holding church service for a number of years,
he being a staunch Methodist. He died in 1824 and was buried in the
Tabor burying ground, the first marble in that ground being erected at his
irave.
Beloved Carpenter was also an early settler, having settled on the farm now
owned by Miss Sophia Tabor. Gideon, the father of Miss Sophia, was born
in 1762, and was in the war of the Revolution four years. He came to
Mt. Tabor in 1784, where he married HannaR, daughter of Beloved
Carpenter, on the 4th of November, 1787. Gideon was chosen moderator
l66 TOWN OF PAWLET.
at the organization of the town, served as town clerk 28 years, represented
the town in the Legislature most of the time for about 30 years, and was
justice of the peace over 30 years. He died in February, 1824, in the 62nd
year of his age.
Caleb Buffum moved into Mt. Tabor in 1815, settling on a farm on the
east road, about one mile from the creek road. He lived nearly forty years
in the town, and raised a large family ; and then sold his farm and removed
to Rutland, to reside with his son, Caleb Buffum, Jr. He and his wife both
died in Rutland, but were brought back and buried in the Mt. Tabor
burying ground. Esquire Buffum was an energetic useful man in town, and
represented Mt. Tabor in the Legislature several years, and held all the
town offices at different times.
Walter Tabor was a soldier of the Revolutionary army. He resided in the
town from 1792 until his death, in 1806. James Hathaway was also a sergeant
in the Revolutionary army, was long a resident of the town, and died in 1826.
Joseph Moulton was in the French and Revolutionary wars. He died in
18 1 5. Gideon Tabor was in the war of the Revolution four years. He
went into the service at the age of sixteen.
In the war of '61 Mt. Tabor paid bounties to five soldiers, $300 each,
and $7.00 per month while in the service ; one of these five was a Danby
man. The town had six in the army, over and above its quota, when these
bounties were paid. Thus Mt. Tabor, in proportion to its population
furnished more men than any other township in the county.
Mt. Tabor has no church except upon the land that Danby has ap-
propriated, as before stated, upon the Otter Creek border. The inhabitants
attend worship in the towns adjoining.
^p3|AWLET is located in the south-west corner of the county, in lat. 43°
*^^ 21'; and long. 3^ 54' east from Washington, bounded north by Wells,
W east by Danby, south by Rupert, in Bennington County, and west by
Hebron and Granville, in New York, and contains an area of 23,040 acres,
or a tract six miles square, granted by Benning Wentworth, Governor of
New Hampshire, to Jonathan Willard and sixty-seven others, the charter
bearing date August 26, 1761, and receiving its name from the principal
river, which was formerly spelled Paulette, or Paulet, probably of French
derivation. Of the sixty-eight grantees but few ever settled in the town,
Willard having made some improvement here in 1761 or 1762, but did not
remain. The usual reservations and restrictions incident to all the grants
issued by Wentworth were made, and, like the others, became nuUified by
the Revolutionary war, but did not deprive the grantees of their rights nor
take from them their homts, as was attempted by New York and our mother
country during the land title controversy.
TOWN OF PAWLET. 167
The surface is quite uneven and mountainous in most parts, yet between
the mountain ranges there remain considerable tracts of level fertile land.
Through the middle of the town, from north to south, extends a high range of
mountains, cutting the territory into a natural division of east and west town,
Haystack Mountain, in the north part, and extending into Wells, being the
principal elevation of the range, and much resorted to by pleasure parties.
Indian Hill, also, lying in the north-western part, is a considerable elevation.
The principal stream is Pawlet River, which enters the south-east corner
of the township from Bennington County, and flows in a serpentine course, a
north-westerly direction, to Wood Creek, in New York, and thence to Lake
Champlain ; it contains numerous tributaries, of which Flower Brook, enter-
ing from Danby, is the largest, and nearly all of sufficient size to afford good
mill-sites, many of which are occupied.
The rocks in the western part are of the Georgia slate deposit, while the
eastern portion is composed of talcoid schist, cut by a considerable bed of
limestone, and containing some available deposits of roofing-slate and mar-
ble.
The soil of the town is mostly susceptible of cultivation, even to the tops
of the mountains, all but two or three of which can be tilled to their summits,
while many fields that cannot be plowed make excellent pastures. On the
banks of the larger streams are alluvial deposits of rare fertility, and con-
stantly enriched by periodical overflows. A large proportion of the soil is
gravelly loam intermingled with slate, and well adapted to the growth of all
grain raised in this latitude.
The timber is that common to the surrounding towns ; the forests, however,
becoming rapidly thinned, the inevitable result of the populous growth of a
community. Lumbering is carried on to some extent, while the rich
saccharine of the maple is largely utiUzed in the manufacture of sugar, which
receives a ready market in localities less favored in this respect, finding, to-
gether with the other exports of the town, a convenient avenue for transport-
ation in the Rutland and Washington Railroad, which enters the town from
Rupert, extending thence to West Pawlet, and thence nearly on the Hne of
the State, to Granville, N. Y.
In 1880 Pawlet had a population of 1,698, was divided into eleven school
districts and contained eleven common schools, employing four male and
nineteen female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $1,742.02. There were
350 pupils attending common school, and the entire cost of the schools for
the year ending Oct 31st, was $1,967.02, with Mr. Edward I. Vail, superin-
tendent.
Pawlet, a post village located on Flower Brook, near the center of the
town, contains two churches, (Meth. and Cong.,) one grist-mill, saw-mill,
cheese-box manufactory, cheese factory, a fork handle and baby carriage stock
factory, six stores, one hotel, two blacksmith shops, wagon shop, harness
shop etc.

proprietors to them in 1768, as first and second settlers of the township.
The earliest record extant of any town-meeting, bears date July 29th, 1768,
at which meeting Reuben Harmon was moderator and Simeon Burton, clerk.
The first grist-mill was erected by Remember Baker, about the year 1768,
and was located on Wells Brook. This was soon after followed by one on
Flower Brook, built by Wm. Bradford, and not long after this, one was
erected on the present site of the Red Mill, built by Col. Samuel Willard, in
1783. The first hotel was kept by Capt. Jonathan Willard, on the site of the
present homestead of Henry Allen. In 181 4 a cotton-mill was erected on
Flower Brook, by the Pawlet Manufacturing Co., which was successfully
operated for thirty years, and the only cotton mill ever erected in the county.

lp|lTTSFIELD is a triangular tract of land, located in the north-eastern
"^^ corner of the county, in lat. 43" 48' and long. 4" 14' east from Washing-
w ton. It is bounded north by Rochester, east by Stockbridge, in Windsor
County, and west by Chittenden ; chartered July 39, 1781, by Thomas Chit-
tenden, Governor of Vermont, to Samuel Wilcox, Daniel Kinne, Josiah
Wright, and their associates to the number of 130, and contained 34,000
acres, being represented as containing land equal to a township and a half.
At the first proprietors' meeting, held at Danby, in December, 1781, a com-
mittee was appointed to lay out and allot the township, which was accordingly
done, allowing each proprietor 53 J acres, and a like number of acres to each
public reservation. In 1787 another allotment of 40 acres was made to each
proprietor, whereon it was discovered by a survey, that by reason of the towns
of Stockbridge and Chittenden overreaching their charter bounds, they had
left lying between them, instead of the original large town of Pittsfield, only
a gore of land not exceeding in size half a township. At a meeting held
Sept. 35th of this same year, Asa Whitcomb and Charles Goodrich were
appointed as their agents to obtain redress from the Legislature for the loss
of their lands. But all the satisfaction they obtained was, that "the land
was there, and they must look it up." This led to many lawsuits, and much
litigation ensued for years ; but the settlers were finally defeated and lost
their land, hence it is that Pittsfield now ranks, in point of size, as one of the
smallest townships in the county.
The town was not organized until March 26, 1793, the meeting being then
held at the house of Daniel Atkins, where George Martin was chosen mod-
erator ; Thomas Hodgkins, town clerk ; George Martin, Stephen Holt and
Joseph Adams, selectmen; Daniel Bow, treasurer; Anthony Whitcomb, first
constable ; Daniel Atkins, sealer of leather ; Stephen Holt and William Da-
vis, grand jurymen.
The surface is mountainous and broken, the most considerable elevation
being Wilcox Peak, so named by Samuel Wilcox, one of the original pro-
prietors, who once attempted to ascend its summit, but failed on account of
weariness, and christened it after himself. The soil is irrigated by numerous
springs and several streams, two of which, from the south and west, unite in
TOAVN OF PITTSFIELD.
173
the eastern part of the town, forming Tweed River, which flows an easterly
course, and is discharged into White River, in Stockbridge. These streams
afford several good mill privileges, and together witli White River, which
flows across the north-eastern corner of the town, are the largest in the town-
ship, though there are several of minor importance. Along these streams
and in the mountain valleys are found many excellent farms, the soil being
mostly a sandy loam, somewhat stony. On the hills the farms were at one
time quite productive, but are now rather sterile, owing, probably, to the fact
that many farmers have of late years neglected their farms and given their
attention to lumbering, which they consider more lucrative ; perhaps it may
also be attributed to the decrease of the annual deposit of vegetable matter
as the forests become thinner. The timber is principally beech, birch and
maple, interspersed with spruce, hemlock and ash. From the maple a large
quantity of sugar is manufactured each year, which is exported to localities
less fortunate in this respect, and forms quite an item in the commerce of the
town ; this, with horses, cattle, swine and lumber, form the principal exports.
Iron ore in abundance, and of a rare quahty, was discovered here by J. J.
Saltery, in 1877. Mr. Saltery was at the time prospecting near Gaysville,
and the presence of fine ore-sands in the soil, river-beds, and general alluvial
deposits, induced him to extend his explorations along the White River to the
intersection of the Tweed, thence up this branch to Pittsfield, where the pre-
dominating debris and masses of rocks indicated the near presence of an
actual deposit of ore. Following from Pittsfield the west branch of the
Tweed, a distance of about two miles, near the Chittenden line, the ore was
found in actual deposit, bearing a course north-west and south-east at an
angle of 56°. In 1878 a further examination showed that the principal for-
mation consisted of gneiss, serpentine, slate, lime, silica and mica, im|)regna-
ted with the crystalization of iron, which formed stratified belts, bodies and
veins, of various dimensions and percentages. The ore is of a sandy nature,
and is therefore easily crushed and separated, and yields from twenty to sixty
per cent, of magnetic ore.
In 1880 Pittsfield had a population of 555, was divided into four schooU
districts and had five common schools, employing two male and eight female
teachers, at an aggregate salary of $536.00. There were 133 pupils attending
common schools, and the entire cost for schools for the year was $576.05,
with S. C. Gibbs, superintendent.
Pittsfield, a post village located in the south-eastern part of the town, is
the only settlement of any considerable size. It contains forty dwellings, two
churches, (M. E. and Cong.) two stores, two hotels, a school-house and
several carriage, blacksmith and carpenter shops, etc., and has a population
of about 200.
Ray Diirkee's button factory^ located on road 8, is operated by steam
power and employs fifteen hands. There are manufactured here 100 gross
of ivory and horn buttons daily. Mr. Durkee has also machinery for iron
and wood-turning and general machine work.
174 TOWN OF PITTSFIELD.
A. JV. Hayes' saw-mi/I, located on road 19, is operated by water-power,
using one lumber-saw, one clap-board saw, two planers and several smaller
saws. He employs twelve men, and manufactures 900,000 feet of lumber
and 500,000 feet of clap-boards per annum.
G. If. Ramsey's saw-i/ii//, located on road 10, is 0{)erated by water-power,
employs twelve men, and manufactures 1,000,000 feet of lumber and 500,000
feet of clap-boards per year.
Brigham &• AtwooiV s sa7a-mi//, located at Pittsfield, is operated by water-
power, has one 'lumber and one band saw, one board and one clap-board
planer, employs eight men, and manufactures 800,000 feet of lumber and
600,000 feet of clapboards yearly.
C. A. Brown' s grist-?nill, located at Pittsfield, was built by Spaulding,
some fifty years ago. Mr. Brown does quite a business there, but mostly
custom work.
In 1867 Brigham, Houghton & Co. built a large steam mill near the
village, designing to cut, not only all kinds of lumber, but also chair-stock.
They had scarcely got the building well filled with suitable machinery, how-
ever, when it took fire and was entirely consumed, causing a loss to the
proprietors of some $2,000 over and above the insurance.
A company was formed March 4th, 1880, duly incorporated at Hartford,
Conn., for the purpose of manufacturing iron from the ore found in Pittsfield,
with a capital stock of $2,500,000, divided into 25,000 shares at $100 each.
Four directors were chosen, as follows: — J. J. Saltery, of Pittsfield, Vt,
president ; Harvey K. Flagler, of Boston, secretary and treasurer ; Edward
L. Chaffee and Charles W. Boutwell, directors. Operations for the develop-
ment of the ore deposits were commenced March 39th, 1880. Buildings for
crushing and concentrating the ores with necessary machinery were erected,
roads made from the mines through the valley to the coal kilns and other sec-
tions connected with the works. The property owned by the White River
Iron Co. was purchased, consisting of about 1400 acres, all bearing the ore
in its different stratifications, and covered with a fine growth of timber. The
ore is mostly quarried, and brought to the reduction works for crushing and
separating. It is then ready for use at the furnace, for which a foundation for
eight fires has been made, which, when completed, will produce about ten
tons of blooms or billets per day, allowing an average of two tons of con-
centrated ore to one ton of metalic iron, at a cost of about $35 per ton, in-
cluding freight to Bethel. The products of the above mentioned are char-
coal blooms and billets, especially adapted to the manufacture of a fine grade
of steel, by the open-hearth furnace, or by the use of the crucible, for fine
tool-steel, &c. There are but few instances in which iron ore is found im-
pregnated in gneiss formation, showing so large a per centage, and an oxide
of so pure a nature as in this case. There is no question of its eventually
taking rank with the best steel in this and other countries. This company,
when its works are all completed, will form quite a valuable acquisition to
the township.
TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. 1 75
The first settlement of Pittsfield was commenced in 1786, by Daniel and
Jacob Bow ; Daniel settling on the farm now occupied by Daniel Avery,
and Jacob, where Artemas Hunt now resides. The same year Thomas
Hodgkins settled on the farm now owned by Royal Tupper, and George
Martin on the farm owned by Granville Farewell. (The last two farms have
been set off to the town of Rochester.) About this time Stephen Holt,
familiarly known as Gov. Holt, settled on the farm now occupied by John
Sawyer. Among the other early settlers were Lucius Kibbe, Simon Cleave-
land, John Gaines, Dr. Tucker, David Lovette, David Daly, Uzziah Green,
Jonas Stowe, Ebbe Durkee, David, Alba and Timothy Durkee. The first
inhabitant of what is now the village, was Uzziah Green, who lived in a
poor log-house, between where the school-house and Congregational
church now stands. The first mills in town were built about 1780,
by Charles Goodrich, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, who received from,
the proprietors a right of land for building them. They also gave
him the privilege of naming the town, which he did. He built a
saw and grist mill about where Brigham & Atwood's and Brown's mills now
stand. The crank for the saw mill, weighing 200 pounds, was brought from
Pittsford, a distance of twelve miles, by two men carrying it on their shoul-
ders. Goodrich also built the first frame house in town, which was not only
used for a dv/elling, but also as a school-house and place for public meetings,
this being the first school kept in the town. Daniel Bow built and kept the
first tavern, a one-story log structure, located on the farm now owned by
David Avery. The nearest post office was at Rutland, fifteen miles distant,
the mail being brought on foot once a week, the neighbors taking
turns at the task. The first store was kept by Asa Gaines. The first tan-
nery was built and operated by David Daly. It was located on the site now
occupied by Henry Adams' blacksmith shop, and was afterwards removed to
the spot where Mr. Caryl's house now stands. The first physician located in
the town was Josiah H. Phelps, of Connecticut, who settled in the town in
1823. Bears, wolves and deer were plenteous in the heavy forests, and the
former were a constant source of annoyance to the early settlers, it being
almost impossible for them to keep any sheep.
David Daly moved from Windham, Conn., to Pittsfield, in 1789. He built
a house where Henry Adams' now stands, and a tannery where Mr. Adams'
shop now is. This was the first and only tannery ever built in the town.
Mr. Daly afterward owned the farm where AVm. Davis now resides, which he
cleared and on which he built a large frame house. In 1791 he married
Martha Call, by whom he had a large family of children. For a number of
years Mr. Daly was justice of the peace, and held several other offices in the
town. An incident in his life will illustrate the hardships the early settlers
were obliged to undergo : Being in want of a grind-stone, Daly, in company
with a man named Waller, started one morning, afoot, for Pittsford, taking
their dinner, done up in a handkerchief, with them. On reaching the top of
176 TOWN OF PITTSFIELD.
the mountain they hung their dinner on the branches of a tree, to be eaten
on their return. They hastened down to Pittsford, bought a grind-stone
weighing 100 lbs., with a crank attached, and started with it for home. For
a time they tried to carry the stone by the crank, one taking each end ; but
at last, becoming disgusted with this mode of procedure, they broke the crank
and threw it away, putting a stick through the centre of the stone in its place,
but as Waller was tall and Daly short, the stone kept slipping toward Daly ;
however, with good pluck they persevered till they reached the spot where
they had left their dinner, when, to their disappointment, they found it had
been devoured by some animal, all but a few dry crusts. These the hungry
men quickly disposed of and plodded on, reaching home in the night, having
traveled between twenty-five and thirty miles. Mr. Daly operated his tannery
until his death, at the age of seventy-six.
Benjamin Blossom immigrated to Pittsfield in 1796, settling where the vil-
lage now stands. He was employed by Mr. Goodrich as miller for the ten
years following. Wm. R. Blossom, who is at present a resident of Pittsfield,
was at the time his father came to the town, only seven years old, and the
youngest of a large family of children. At this time the site of the present
village was almost an unbroken forest, and the town was so sparsely settled
that Mr. B. can remember the name of nearly every family that then resided
in the town. William's only education was thus obtained at the district
school. At the age of thirteen he worked six months for Mr. Goodrich, for
the sum of $4.50 per month, the wages to go toward paying for thirty acres
of land, then covered with timber, lying about a mile west of the village. For
three years more young Blossom worked as he could to pay for his land, his
mother and himself being quite anxious to own a farm. When he was sev-
enteen he took his axe and his Httle pail of dinner and began the labor of
felling the trees to make himself a farm. The next year he succeeded in
getting up a house, to which he moved his father and mother, and where he
resided until he removed, a few years ago, to a house standing on the very
place where he lived when he first came to Pittsfield. When eighteen years
of age he was elected corporal of the militia company, and at twenty-one
was chosen lister, and the next year one of the selectmen. Since that time
Mr. B. has held every office in the town, both civil and military, excepting
that of treasurer. He now enjoys good health, in the 92d year of his age.
During the year 1786, Stephen Holt, of Hampton, Conn., immigrated to
Pittsfield, setthng on the farm now occupied by John Sawyer, having obtained
the land by allotment, or at a cost of four cents per acre. This was the first
farm settled within the present limits of the town. The land was covered
with a dense growth of heavy timber at the time Mr. Holt took possession,
but in a short time, however, he had cleared off a number of acres, and by
aid of his wife, Hannah Gear, of Hampton, built comfortable buildings, and
set out an orchard, which, for size and thrift, is probably not surpassed by
any in town to-day.
TOWN OF PITTSFIELD. I77
Mr. Holt was in the battle of Bennington, and when the war of 1812 broke
out he enlisted and was at the battle of Plattsburgh. He had a family of six
children, and with the aid of his boys, enlarged his farm from fifty to four-
hundred and fifty acres. In his old age a brother in Connecticut died, leav-
ing him $7,000. On receiving news of this bequest, Stephen set out for
Connecticut, with a horse and wagon, secured his money and brought it to
Pittsfield in a bag, lying in the bottom of his wagon. When staying over
night at hotels he threw his harness over the bag of gold, this being the only
precaution he took. Mr. Holt died at the age of ninety, leaving several sons,
three of whom were captains of militia.
Erastus Holt was born at Hampton, Conn., September 8th, 1777. He re-
moved to Pittsfield at twenty- three years of age, in the year 1800, and settled
on the farm now owned by William Swift. Here Mr. Holt built a log house
and out-buildings and cleared off" the farm. The year after he settled in town
he married Sallie Parmenter, of Pittsfield, by whom he had a family of nine
girls and three boys, all but one of whom married at maturity. He practised
law considerably, and was proverbial for a number of years as being the best
legal man in the town. He represented the town in the general assembly
seven consecutive years at one time, and eight years at another ; attended
three constitutional conventions and was justice of peace thirty-two years.
During the last eighteen years of his life he was confined to his bed by
inflammatory rheumatism. Died March 28th, 1875, 3,ged 98 years.
There are now no soldiers of the Revolution, nor of the war of 1812, liv-
ing, except William R. Blossom. During the late war of 1861-65, the town
furnished ;^2 men as their quota of soldiers. Lester Bard was killed at
Gettysburg; Freeman Brown, at Fredericksburg; Frank Swan and John
Shannon missing since Sheridan's fight in the Shenandoah valley ;
Blanchard died in hospital near Washington ; Francis A. Gibbs died in a rebel
prison, at Florence, S. C. The town has paid its expenses of the war and is
clear of debt.
Until the year 1800 there was but one school district in town, and the
people built a large school-house near where Joel Ramsey now resides,
which was used for schools, town-house and meeting-house for a number of
years.
T/ie Congregational Church, located at Pittsfield village, was organized
September 17, 1803, by the Rev. Martin Fuller, of Royalston, with a mem-
bership of sixteen and Justin Parsons as first pastor. The church building
was erected in 1820, is a modest affair, capable of accommodating 2co
persons, and cost $r,ooo. The church property is at present valued at
$2,000. It has now about fifty members, with no settled minister.
The M. E. Church of Pittsfield was organized by Joseph Crawford in
i8o3, then having a membership of eight ; Mr. Crawford was their first pastor.
In 1830 the first house of worship was erected, which was followed in 1859
by the present edifice, a neat structure, capable of seating 250 persons, and

cost $2,615; but the value of the church property has since decreased,
so that the whole property is now valued at only $3,200. The society
at present has a membership of ninety, with the Rev. J. W. Hitchcock,
pastor.
f|D|lTTSFORD, a northern central town, in lat. 43 "" 43' and long. 4^ 3' east
*^^ from Washington, is bounded north by Brandon, east by Chittenden,
W south by Rutland and west by Hubbardton and a small part of Ira, con-
taining an area of about thirty-six square miles, originally granted to Ephraim
Doohttle and sixty-three others, by Benning VVentworth, on the 12th of Octo-
ber, 1761, the charter containing the usual reservations common to all the
Wentworth grants. The name was derived from a ford on Otter Creek,
named in honor of William Pitt, then prime minister of England.
The surface, in the central part of the town, along the valley of Otter Creek,
is level and quite productive, containing many beautiful farms ; while the
eastern and western portions are hilly and less fertile, though containing much
good grazing land. The territory is watered by Otter Creek, which flows
through the central part of the town from south to north, having many tribu-
taries, of which Furnace Brook is the largest. Along these streams are mead-
ows of rich alluvial soil, while that in other parts of the town is generally
loam, with some tracts which are sandy, and some of clay. The rocks are
principally of the eoHan limestone deposit, containing some excellent quarries
of marble. Iron ore is abundant, and manganese is found in some locaH-
ties. The timber is oak, pine, maple, beech, birch, elm, walnut, poplar &c.,
and lumbering is carried on to some extent, while from the maple large
quantities of sugar are manufactured each year. The Central Vermont Rail-
road passes through the middle of the town from north to south.
In 1880 Pittsford had a population of 1,983, was divided into fourteen
school districts and contained fourteen common schools, employing two male
and twenty female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $3,132.80. There were
286 pupils attending, and the entire cost of the schools for the year ending
Oct. 31st, was $2,424.44, with Mr. Isaac H. Hall, superintendent.
Pittsford, a post village, beautifully located a little east of the center of
the town, is composed of three sections, locally known as Pittsford, Hitch-
cockville and Pittsford Mills, which once were separate settlements, but as
they increased in size, gradually approached until they united. It contains
four churches, several mercantile and manufacturing interests, a number of
fine residences and a good hotel ; nearly a mile west of the village is a sta-
tion of the C. V. Railroad.
J^. W. Smith &> Co's marble quarry is located in the western part of the
town, about three quarters of a mile from the C. V. R. R., with which it is
connected by a branch track. The deposit of marble at this place is of ex-
cellent quality, the belt being from 400 to 600 feet in width and a mile and a
TOWN OF PITTSFORD. 1 79
half in length. The quarry is loo by 400 feet, and in its first year, 1880,
produced and exported upwards of 26,000 cubic feet of sound marble. The
stock of this belt or deposit having been quite extensively used for the last
twenty years, is rapidly growing in popularity, the company now giving em-
ployment to seventy-five men, running five steam stone cutting machines, and
producing marble at the rate of about 100,000 cubic feet per year, which
amount they expect to exceed in the future.
The property of the old Central Vermont Marble Co., located on the farm
occupied by Geo. H. Osborn, has not been worked for the last five years, but
is now under prospect of reorganization.
J. B. Fraiiklyii s pulp and paper-mill, located at Pittsford Mills, is operated
by water-power, and employs from 1 2 to 20 men, manufacturing two tons of
pulp and paper daily.
J. H. Peabody' s sheepskui moccasin, mitten and glove manufactory, located
at Pittsford, was established in i860, and for a long time was the only manu-
factory of the kind in the county. He is now doing a large business.
IVm. B. Sargent's wago)i-shop, located on road 45, is operated by water-
])Ower, and employs four men. He has also a custom grist-mill in connection
with the shop.
The Titan Furnace, located on road 15, owned and operated by Naylor &
Co., of Boston, Mass., is run by both steam and water-power, and engaged
in the manufacture of pig-iron. It employs 21 men, consumes 1,200 bushels
of coal, producing ten tons of iron per day.
Edson's saw-mill, located at East Pittsford, was originally built in 1797, and
is now owned by W. E. Edson, who manufactures here about 100,000 feet of
lumber per annum.
About eight years after the granting of Pittsford, 1769, the first settlement
was commenced by Gideon and Benjamin Cooley, from Greenwich, Mass.,
who were soon after joined by Roger Stevens, FeHx Powell, Ebenezer Hop-
kins, Stephen Mead, Moses Olmsted, Edward Owen, Joshua Woodward and
others, from Massachusetts and Connecticut, so that at the time of the Rev-
olutionary war there were over thirty families settled in the town, and at the
time of the first call upon Pittsford for troops, there were within the limits of
the town 38 famiUes and about 195 inhabitants. But few of the men entered
the regular service of the United States, but formed themselves into an inde-
pendent company, numbering some forty members, which was frequently
called out on occasions of alarm. Pittsford being a frontier town was partic-
ularly exposed to attack by the British and Indians, the latter having in some
instances attacked families whom they either killed or carried into captivity,
so the inhabitants at an early date took measures to protect themselves as
much as possible. Accordingly, in 1777, a fort was constructed on the east
bank of Otter Creek, called Fort Mott, in honor of John Mott, who frequent-
ly acted as commander. This fort, however, proved insufficient security for
the people, so in 1779 they determined to build another of superior strength.
l8o TOWN OF PITTSFORD.
The site was selected about a mile north-east of Fort Mott, and the fort com-
pleted in June, 1780, and kept garrisoned until the close of the war. Soon
after its completion, it was christened " Fort Vengeance," in record of a vow
made by the inmates against the Indians for killing one of their number,
Caleb Houghton.
The fort at Centre Rutland was made the principal depot of supplies for
the troops in this section of the State, and from which the ammunition and
provisions were conveyed to the forts at East Rutland, Castleton and Pitts-
ford, as they were needed. But it was found inconvenient to get supplies at
Pittsford, on account of there being no bridge across Otter Creek at this
place. Accordingly the General Assembly passed an act in 1780, that one
should be built, which was done, being the first bridge erected over Otter
Creek in the township, and stood near the present Gorham bridge, being
built under the superintendence of Benjamin Cooley. In 1785 this was fol-
lowed by another bridge, just below the former, and was called the " Mead
bridge."
The first grist mill was erected in 1772, by Samuel Crippen ; previous to
this the settlers had been obliged to carry their grain to Bennington and
Charlestown to get it ground, a distance of about sixty miles. The most
popular mode of grinding, however, had been that of crushing the grain in a
mortar in the Indian style. The second grist mill was built at the mouth of
Stevens' Brook, in 1774, or early in 1775, t>y Roger Stevens, Jr. The third
was built in 1783, on Furnace Brook, by Elder EHsha Rich.
The first saw-mill was built about the year 1774, by Jonathan Fas-
sett, and was located on Mill Brook. In the year 1800, Amos
Weller and Anthony Butler built a saw mill on the brook near
Mr. Butler's house, and during the same year mills were erected by Stephen
Jenner, David Cross, and Benjamin and Caleb Cooley. The first fulling
mill and works for dressing cloth were erected by Noel Avery, in 1796,
located on Ripley Brook, some twentf-five rods above its entrance into Fur-
nace Brook. The first tannery was carried on by Nathaniel Kingsley, who
was located in school district No. 2, in 1785.
A furnace for smelting iron ore was erected in the town upon the present
site of the furnace in Furnace village, by Israel Keith, from Easton, Mass.,
in 1 791, the ore being mostly brought from Chittenden, a distance of two
miles, and yielded a fair per cent, of good iron, which found a ready sale.
The present furnace has passed through a number of hands, and a portion
of the time been closed, until now it is operated by Naylor & Co., of Boston.
In 1827, a foundry was started by Cyrus Gibbs and John Cooley, located
near the mouth of Ripley Brook, and was long known as the " Pocket Fur-
nace." This was followed by another in 1829, built by Simeon Granger &
Sons, near the blast furnace.
The first marble quarry in the town was opened by Jeremiah Sheldon, in
1795, and was subsequently sold to WiUiam Barnes in 1802. Most of the

marble used for monuments and building purposes at that early day was taken
from this quarry.
The town records were accidentally destroyed by fire at an early date, so
it is not known just at what time the town was organized, but probably about
the year J 770, one year after the first settlement. According to the present
records, Jonathan Fassett was the first Representative, serving during 1778,
'83 and '84.
The first white child born in Pittsford was a daughter of Felix Powell, the
exact date of her birth not being known, but probably about 1770. The
child lived but a few weeks. The first male child was Alfred, son of Isaac
and Elizabeth Buck, born March 28, 177 1, who grew to manhood, became a
useful citizen, and died May 23, 1842, leaving several children.
There was but one public house in the town before the Revolutionary war.
This was kept by Samuel Waters, on the west side of the creek, near the
military road. At what time it was opened for the accommodation of travel-
ers cannot now be determined, though it was known as a pubhc house in
1774. Mr. Waters kept this house till about the time of Burgoyne's invasion,
in 1777, when he fled with his family to Shaftsbury, where he afterwards died.
The first public house after the war was kept by Dea. Caleb Hendee, on the
site of Fort Vengeance. On his return from Clarendon, in 1782, he repaired
his house, and the following year opened it as a tavern, and continued it as
such until 1808, when it was closed to the public.
There are four burial grounds in the town. The first was laid out in 1785,
though the proprietors intended the ground for burial purposes long before it
was regularly laid out, as it was thus used almost from the first instances of
riiortahty in the township. The inclosure contains two acres, and is located
on the west side of the road, south-west of the Baptist meeting-house. It is
not known whose remains were first interred, but the oldest there is any record
of is that of Hannah, wife of Ebenezer Drury, who died December 12, 1777,
in the 35th year of her age. There was a burial ground, at a very early day,
on the west side of the creek, on land formerly owned by James Hopkins.
It is situated on the east side of the road, some six or eight rods north of
three fragments of a large boulder, which are conspicuously seen from the
road. It was used for this purpose previous to 1785. The present cemetery,
located a little east of the village, covers an area of about six acres, finely
laid out and improved, until now it is a beautiful spot for burying the dead.
It was dedicated on the 4th of July, 1857.
Gideon Cooley was born in the year 1737, and at the commencement of
the French war enlisted as a soldier in the cause of his country, and during
his service passed through this township several times, and each time became
more and more impressed with its beauty and fertility, and after his term of
enlistment was over, procured a right of Capt. Doolittle, free, providing he
would settle upon it and make improvements. So in company with his
brother, Benjamin, he came to Pittsford in May, 1767, made some improve-

ments and planted grain that year, and the year following brought his family,
forming the first settlement of the township, where they resided many years ;
several of their descendants are residents of the town now.
Roger Stevens came soon after Cooley, building a grist-mill at the mouth
of Stevens' Brook, in 1774. At the breaking out of the war he espoused the
cause of England, and his property was confiscated under the proscription
act. After the war he settled in Canada, near the Rideau River, in which,
some years later, he was drowned while shooting ducks. His wife did not
long survive him.
FeUx Powell settled here in 1770, and built a small house on land formerly
owned by Isaac C. Wheaton, where he resided many years, his daughter
being the first white child born in the township, as previously mentioned.
James Hopkins came to Pittsford in the summer of 1769, and was so well
pleased with the township that he purchased two rights of Felix Powell, a
part of which he pitched on the east side of Otter Creek and a part on the
west side ; early in the following spring he brought his family and began
improvements upon his farm.
Richard M. Powers, from Greenwich, Mass., settled in Pittsford about
1800, on road 46, then known as the "Market Road," from the fact of its
being the great highway to and from Troy, where he lived until he died. Mr.
Powers was a farmer. He married Polly Carpenter, of Wilbraham, Mass.,
and raised thirteen children, seven boys and six girls. Seven of his children
are now living. His youngest son, Artemus C, Hves on the old homestead,
near Sutherland Falls. A continuation of the Sutherland Falls marble de-
posit extends across his land, one hundred and forty rods. Nicholas M., an-
other son, lives in Clarendon, and is a bridge-builder of note. He and his
son laid out the wood work of the Philadelphia & Baltimore Railroad bridge
across the Susquehanna, at Havre-de-Grace, Md., and of many other important
bridges.
Caleb Houghton, who was killed by an Indian, July 15, 1780, was the only
man killed on Pittsford soil in the defence of his country. In 1873 a
monument was erected to his memory by the citizens of Pittsford, bearing
the following inscription : —
"Fort Vengeance, erected in 1780, stood here.

mains removed here in Aug., 1873."
Pittsford Congregational CJnirch, located at Pittsford, was organized by
its first pastor, Eleazer Harwood, and fourteen others, on April 14, 1784, and

was the first church organized in the town. Services were held in private
houses until about the year 1790, when they were usually held in a school-
house which stood a few rods south of the old Penfield house ; but when the
town-house was completed in 1795, they were held in that building. The
present building was commenced in 1835, and finished so that it was dedi-
cated in July :8, 1837. In 1879-80 a commodious lecture room was built
and a fine organ erected, at a total expense of $4,500.00, the structure now
being capable of comfortably accommodating 600 persons. The society
numbers 233 members, under the pastoral care of Rev. C. C. Mclntire.
The Pittsford Baptist Churchy located at Pittsford village, was originally
organized Dec. 2, 1784, by Elisha Rich and six others. Elder Rich being the
first pastor. The first house of worship was erected in 1785, and occupied
till 1795, when the town-house was used. In 1803 the present building was
erected, and was kept up a few years, when the society disbanded and the
edifice was fast going to ruins, till in 1841 the society was reorganized with
fourteen members, and the building remodeled and improved, so that it is
now a neat structure, with seating room for 160 persons. The society now
has 90 members, with Rev. M. M. Mills, pastor.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Pittsford village, was organ-
ized in 1799, by Elder McLain, with four members. In 1816 the church
building was erected, with a seating room for 300 persons, the property
being now valued at $8,500. The society at present has 149 members, with
Rev. Andrew Heath, pastor.
The EasJ: Pittsford M. E. Church, located just over the line, in Chitten-
den, was organized in 1851, by Aruna Lyon, the first pastor, with thirty mem-
bers. During the same year they erected a church edifice that will accom-
modate 150 persons, at a cost of $800, being about the present valuation of
the property. The society is now in a prosperous condition, with Rev. J. S.
Mott, pastor.
St. Alphonsds Church, (Catholic,) located at Pittsford Mills, was organ-
ized by their first pastor, Rev. Chas. Baylen, in 1870, and soon after a com-
fortable building was erected. The society now has 450 members, with Rev.
J. M. Gelot, of Rutland, pastor.
^^OULTNEY is located in the western part of the county, in lat. 44° 32'
f^ and long. 3° 54' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Castle-
f|r ton, east by Middletown and Ira, south by Wells, and West by Hamp-
ton, in New York, and a part of Fairhaven. It was chartered by Penning
Wentworth, the "Royal Governor of New Hampshire," September 21, 1761,
and contained an area of 23,040 acres, or six miles square, bounded in said
charter as follows : —
" Beginning at the north-west corner of Wells, a township lately granted in
this province, and from thence running due north six miles ; thence turning
off at right angles, and running due east, six miles ; thence turning at right
angles, and running due west, by Wells aforesaid, to the north-west corner
thereof, being the bounds begun at."
1 84 TOWN OF POULTNEY.
On the 28th of October, 1784, 2,388 acres were taken from Poultney to-
wards forming the town of Micldletown, and again on the 31st day of Octo-
ber, 1798, five thousand five hundred and forty-three acres were set to Poultney
from the north part of Wells. Excei)t from these changes the territory re-
mains as it was originally.
The surface is pleasantly diversified by hills and vales, the highest eleva-
tions being Si^ruce Knob in the eastern, and Mount St. Catherine in the
soutliern part, while the whole is rendered fertile and picturesque by numer-
ous small streams, containing some excellent' mill-sites. Poultney River, the
largest stream, and only considerable one in the town, enters from Middle-
town, Hows westerly to the western boundary line, whence it flows north on
the said line for a short distance, and tlien turns westerly again and forms the
line between Fairhaven and the State of New York. Lake St. Catherine, or
Lake Austin, extends from Wells, on the south, to nearly the centre of Poult-
ney, and is the only sheet of water in the township, with the exception of a
small pond in the north-western part, which is not deemed of sufficient im-
portance to receive other than a purely local name.
The soil is warm and productive, especially along Poultney River, where
are found alluvial flats of rare fertility, though in some places quite consider-
ably mixed with gravel. The geological formation is mainly slate of the
Georgia slate deposit, containing many excellent quarries that are worked to a
considerable extent, forming an important item in the wealth of the township.
The timber is principally deciduous, consisting of elm, oak, pine and hem-
lock, and, on the higher lands, beech and maple predominating. But a
remnant, however, is left of the grand old forest that densely covered the
territory at the time of its first settlement.
The Rutland & Washington Railroad enters the township from New
York near the center of the west line, traversing the township in a north-
easterly direction, entering Castleton at about the center of its south line,
thus forming a speedy and convenient mode of transportation for the
products of the township.
In 1880 Poultney had a population of 3,717, was divided into sixteen
school districts, and contained eighteen common schools, employing three
male and twenty-five female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2,658.30.
There were 541 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the
schools for the year ending October 30th, was $2,965.93, with Mr. Calvin
Granger, superintendent.
Poultney, a post village and station on the Rutland & Washington Rail-
way, is a very handsome Httle town, pleasantly located, near the western
border of the township, on Poultney River, and contains four churches, two
banks, two hotels, several manufactories, and is the seat of the Troy Con-
ference Academy and of St. John's Parish School.
Troy Conference was organized in the year 1833. At its first session It
was decided to build a Conference Academy. Poultney was selected as the
TOWN OF POULTNEY. 1 85
seat of the institution. The buildings were completed and opened for stu-
dents in September 1837. (See Illustration on opposite page.) The school,
however, was opened a year earlier, in a house that stood on the Academy
grounds, with Rev. Sabin S. Stocking as principal. From the first the num-
ber of students was large and the school took a high stand. The institution
has been very fortunate in its Principals. They have been, without exception,
men eminent in the Church. Stocking was succeeded by Rev. Daniel Curry,
D. D. The third principal was Rev. James Cowel. The fourth, Jesse T.
Peck, D. D., since Bishop, who served from 1840 to 1848. His successor
was Rev. J. Newman, D. D., who held the position till 185 1, when he was
called to a professorship in Union College. The next principals were Rev.
Oran Flavilla and Jason O. Walker. Some of the subordinate teachers dur-
ing this time were James Strong, S. T. D., Rev. E. Wentworth, D. D., Pro-
fessor W. P. Codington, now of Syracuse University ; Rev. R. H. Howard
and Rev. George G. Saxe. In 1855 the Academy passed out of the hands
of the Conference. A considerable portion of the cost of the buildings had
never been paid, and although the debt had been somewhat reduced, enough
remained to prove a great embarrassment to the trustees. To rid themselves
of this burden they gave a perpetual lease of the property to Rev. Joshua Poor.
From 1855 to 1873 the school was conducted as a private enterprise. In
1863 Mr. Poor sold his interest to Rev. J. Newman, D. D., who changed the
school to one for ladies only, under the name of Ripley Female College. Con-
vinced that the interests of education within its bounds demanded a school
that should be conducted on broader principles than the private institutions
they were compelled to patronize, the Conference in 1874 bought back the
property, and the institution was re-chartered under the old name, Troy Con-
ference Academy. Rev. M. E. Cady, A. M., was principal till 1877, when
he was succeeded by the present incumbent, Rev. C. H. Dunton, A. M. It
has been the design of the trustees to make it a first-class college preparatory
school, and the high rank taken in college by the young men prepared here,
testifies to the success that is being achieved. Four other graduate courses
are maintained. The management of the school was never more vigorous
and successful than at present, the graduating class numbering fifteen.
Sf. Johii s Parish School, located on Church street, was established by
Rev. E. H. Randall in 1870, who invited all classes of children. Since that
time it has been in successful operation, and is still conducted by Mr. Ran-
dall with an efficient corps of assistants, who have always maintained for the
school an excellent reputation, both for instruction and discipline.
The Bank of Poiiltney was chartered Oct. 29, 1820, with a capital of $100,-
000, and Merritt Clark, who still retains the position, was chosen cashier,
The bank was reestablished under an act of Nov. 13, 1856, with a capital of
$100,000.
The First National Bank of Ponltney was organized June 23, 1881, with
a capital of $50,000. J. B. Beaman, president; Leonidas Gray, vice-presi-
dent ; and M. D. Cole, cashier.

sashes and doors are consumed to a great extent in the county.
The Poultney Nurseries were started by their present owner, Mr. Elijah
Ross, in a small way in 1872. He has since added to his stock from time to

The Poultney Cemetery is very beautifully situated in the east part of the
village, on a gentle rise of ground, affording a fine view of the village. It

Cemetery Association was incorporated in 1863 ; Merritt Clark was chosen the
first president, Edward Clark, treasurer, and Rev. E. H. Randall, superinten-
dent.
The Poultney Industrial Society is the result of an earnest desire for a
town fair that should embrace the good and exclude the bad features which
usually attend fairs. It has been a decided success since its organization, in
TOWN OF POULTNEY. 1 87
the fall of 1877, and steadily grown in usefulness. In the autumn it holds a
fair, and in the winter, meetings, at which questions of interest are discussed
in such a manner as to engage the attention of all classes. The purpose to
maintain its high standing has been rigidly adhered to, and the result has
shown that a fair without a horse-trot is not only possible, but really most
successful.
East Poultney, a post village, located near the centre of the township, on
Poultney River, contains three churches, two stores, one hotel, two black-
smith shops, one cheese factory, a tannery, saw mill, grist mill, etc., and a
number of neat, substantial dweUings. The east village, though now the
smallest of the two, was formerly the business centre of the town, and con-
tinued so until the building of the railroad, completed in 1852, and the
springing up of the slate business in the west part of the town, when the
west village outstripped it and is now much the larger place. Among the
old houses of this village is that of Joseph Mears, built about the year 1780,
and for a time used as a church by the Thomp&onites, a division of the

Although the town of Poultney was chartered in 1761, there was no white
person dweUing within its limits until 177 1, a period of nearly ten years after
it was granted. On the 15th of April of this year, Ebenezer Allen and
Thomas Ashley came into the town, the former bringing his family with him
and both settling on" the banks of Poultney River, near where the old turn-
pike crosses it at Poultney village. Where Allen came from is not known,
but probably from Connecticut, as he was in company with Ashley, who came
from that State. Each erected a shanty, and Ashley cleared a small patch of
land and planted it with corn, which occupied his time for about a month :
then returned for his family, consisting of seven. During this year Allen had
a son born, the first white child born in the town. Allen remained here only
a few years, when he sold his improvements and removed to Grand Isle.

ilies in the town, among which are found the names of Hyde, Marshall,
Ward, etc., all of which became familiar in the subsequent history of the town.

$3,000.00. There are now about seventy members, under the pastorate of
Rev. Thomas Tellier.
St. John's Episcopal Clmrch was organized in 1809, with Rev. Mr. Pardee
as pastor. In 1833 a church building, with seating room for 200 persons, was
erected at East Poultney, and in 1868 an edifice that will seat 175 persons
was built in Poultney village, both being under the pastoral care of the same
rector. The society now numbers 115 members, its property is valued at
$10,000.00, and for the last twelve years has been presided over by Rev. E.
H. Randall.
St. Raphael Catholic Church, located at Poultney village, was organized

valued at $3,500.00.
The Welsh Presbyterian Church, (Calvinistic Methodist,) located in
school district No. 4, was organized in 187 1 by the Rev. Joseph Roberts, he
being the society's first pastor. The church building, which will seat 100
persons, was erected the following year, costing $1,500.00, but now is only
valued at, including grounds, $1,200,00. The present membership of the
society is forty, with Rev. Hugh Davids pastor.
llpRUTLANr), the shire town of Rutland County, was granted by charter,
*^^ Sept. 7, 1761, by Gov. Benning Wentworth, of the Province of New
w Hampshire, with the usual reservations and under the restrictions com-
mon to the charters issued by that Province, the said charter being procured
by Col. Josiah Willard of Winchester, N. H. The first named grantee of the
charter — which is still extant — is John Murray, who at that time was an in-
fluential citizen of Rutland, Mass., and it is quite probable that he gave the
name to the township, although he, nor any of the other grantees, ever resided
within its limits. During this year (1761) Rutland was also granted, under
the name of Fairfield, by Col. John Henry Lydius, of Albany, who claimed
the territory under a deed issued by the Mohawk chiefs of New York ; but
the final adjustment of the Land Title Controversy, as is well known, deter-
mined the legahty of the charters issued by New Hampshire. This town
Hes in lat. 43° 37' and long. 4" 4', east from Washington, and has an area of
about 26,000 acres, bounded north by Pittsford, east by Mendon, south by
Clarendon and Ira, and west by Ira; the length of the north line is 7.92 miles,
that of the east line, 6.39, the south Hne 7.05, and the west, 6.39 miles.
The eastern and southern portions are quite level, while the other parts
are very mountainous, except in the valley of Otter Creek, which is quite
broad, where are situated some fine level intervales of perhaps as good farming-
land as there is to be found in the State. The mountains clothed in verdure
and cut with hmpid, rippling streams, the broad valleys covered with swaying
grain, dotted completely over " with cot and hall," renders an enchanting
scene from almost any point of view, while the plethoric hills and mountains,
from their generous breasts, yield a treasure that renders the town of Rut-
land, in point of wealth, far in advance of the other towns of Rutland County.
The soil, presenting all the varieties from heavy loam to light sand, is irrigated
by numerous streams, the principal one being Otter Creek, which enters about
the middle of the south line, and leaves about the middle of the north
line, cutting the town into two nearly equal parts. Tributary to this
are West Creek or Tinmouth River, rising in Tinmouth, and East
Creek, one of whose branches rises in Chittenden, and the other in
Mendon, the latter entering Otter Creek one mile above Center Rutland, and
—IS

the former about forty rods below. Near the north-west corner of the town-
ship, on the north Hne, Castleton River enters, and, after pursuing a south-
erly course about three miles, turns to the right, and passes off into Ira.
There are numerous other streams, but of minor importance.
The timber is principally spruce, hemlock, beech, birch and maple, with
some pine, poplar, oak, and other deciduous woods.
The Central Vermont, The Del. & Hudson Canal Co's., and the Benning-
ton and Rutland railways, are the principal works of internal improvement.
The town had a population in i8So, of 12, 151 ; it was divided into nineteen
school districts, and contained forty-two common schools, employing seven
male and fifty-seven female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $13,151.69.
There were 2,391 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of
the schools for the year ending Oct. 31st, was $16,847.14, with Mr. J. J. R.
Randall, superintendent.
Rutland, the county seat, a post village and railroad center, is beautifully
located in the south east part of the township, at the point where East
Creek unites with Otter. It contains a population of about 7,000, and is
the most flourishing village in the State. It was incorporated by an Act of
the General Assembly, approved November 15, 1847, and is bounded in
said Act as follows : —
"Commencing at a point on the east bank of Otter Creek, where a con-
tinuation of Robt. Moulthrop's north line would strike said bank of said
creek, at the water's edge at low water mark ; thence easterly to the said
Moulthrop's north-east corner ; thence easterly in the same direction to a
point due south from the bridge crossing Moon's Brook, on Green street ;
thence north to a point due east of H. H. Baxter's north-east corner ; thence
west to said Baxter's north-east corner, thence westerly on said Baxter's
north line, and in the same direction to East Creek ; thence south-westerly
on the east bank of said East Creek to Otter Creek, and thence southerly on
the east bank of said Otter Creek, to the place of beginning."
The village is divided into seven wards, containing, as nearly as practicable,
an equal number of inhabitants, the trustees being authorized to change the
boundaries of the wards at the end of every fifth year, with reference to
equality in population. It is lighted by gas and has a fine water supply.
The water-works are owned by the village, and for general use were first con-
structed about twenty-five years ago. Water was taken from Mendon, about
two miles east of the reservoir, which is situated at Woodward ave., the old
aqueduct having been laid by M. L. Richardson, who for many years acted
as water-commissioner.
The rapid growth of the village soon made the supply of water inadequate
to the demand, and the great fire of April 3, 1868, taught the citizens that
something must be done immediately to increase the water supply, as several
insurance companies had withdrawn their policies on account of its scarcity ;
accordingly, work was soon commenced on the old reservoir, which was en-
tirely reconstructed and much enlarged, costing about $30,000. This, how-
ever, soon failed to supply the demand, and ten years after, in 1878, a new
TOWN OF RUTLAND,
195
twelve inch iron aqueduct was laid from the head to the reservoir, costing
about $35,000.00; and during the following year, distributing pipes were laid
through the village, and seventy-five hydrants have been placed in different
parts of the place, at an expense of about $30,000. So Rutland now has a
water supply fully adequate to all demands. Water is taken from East Creek,
about three miles north-east from the reservoir, in the town of Mendon, on
the farm of Walter E. Wood. For about fifty feet from the bank of the
creek, a cobble-stone filter is constructed, from which the water flows into
a canal or vat, about 100 feet long, 6 feet wide and 10 feet deep, where all
sediment that may exist is precipitated and clear water passes into the
aqueduct. The works have about 180 feet head, so that by attaching hose
to the fire-hydrants a powerful stream is thrown.
The village contains a town-hall, county clerk's office, U. S. court-house,
one savings, one state and three national banks, a fine graded school, seven
churches, three large hotels, and several smaller ones, about one hundred
stores, and numerous manufacturing establishments.
Manufactories.
Howe Scale Cds Works. — The benefit Rutland derives from this manufac-
tory cannot be told, and only those who have made a careful examination of
(The Howe Scale Comtany's Works.)
the works can have any approximate idea of the magnitude of the industry.
It may be well to look back a httle into the history of the "Howe Scales,"
whose name has become as famihar as a household-word, not only in this
country, but in Europe. The original inventors of these scales were F. M.
Strong and Thomas Ross, both young men of thorough mechanical genius
and full of energy. In 1855 these gentlemen conceived the plan of construct-
ing their scales, which was followed up with unwearied study, and after vari-
ous experiments the conception was matured, and a patent obtained on the
15th of January, 1856. In the fall of that year they put up the first scale, in
196 TOWN OF RUTLAND.
mills owned by Joel Hills, at Vernon village, N. Y. At about this time they
also put upon exhibition at the American Institute, New York city, their hay
scales and some smaller ones, which were objects of much attention. In the
spring of 1857, Mr. John Howe, Jr., of Brandon, having seen this scale and
been fully impressed with its merits, was led to purchase the patent of Messrs.
Strong and Ross, and commence their manufacture at Brandon. The busi-
ness has since been continually on the increase, various changes have taken
place in the company, and finally, in August, 1877, it was decided to remove
the works to Rutland village, on account of its being a more convenient point
for shipment, etc. The present site was chosen as being the most convenient
for both the company and their operatives. It is a triangular piece of land,
containing ten acres, at the junction of the Central Vermont and the Ben-
nington and Rutland Railroads, a few rods south-east of the depot. The
buildings are arranged in the general form of a triangle, with the foundry for
a base, and make as complete and conveniently arranged a manufactory as
can be found in the State. They were built in 1877-78, with J. J. R. Ran-
dall as architect, and were erected under the personal supervision of himself
and Hon. John B. Page. This company gives constant employment to from
three to five hundred persons. The officers of the company are as follows: —
George A. Merrill, president; Hon. John B. Page, treasurer; W.W. Reynolds,
superintendent ; W. F. Lewis, assistant superintendent, and W. H. Bryant,
secretary.
The Rigby Combination Car Wheel Company was organized on the 15th
of November, 1880, and is composed of the following gentlemen: — James
Rigby, W. H. H. Lawrence, H. L. Verder, E. A. Morse and J. M. Haven.
This company was incorporated for the purpose of carrying on the manufac-
ture and sale of the above mentioned car- wheel, an invention that bids fair
to supercede all other patents in this Hne. Mr. Rigby is an inventor of more
than ordinary abiUty, and well known among mechanics and manufacturers,
both in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe ; but this last in-
vention eclipses all his other efforts. He has discovered and produced a
wheel combining more mechanical principle, hence more safety and endur-
ance, and greater economy than is found in any other wheel now in use. It
may be termed a combination spoke and plate wheel, composed of cast iron,
wrought iron and cast steel. The hub, spokes, plates and rim are cast iron,
and used without chilling any part thereof, and are cast in one piece. The
rim of this is turned to a perfect circle. The tire, two inches thick, is of
cast steel, the inside of which is also turned to a perfect circle and shrunk
upon its bed, making an absolute fit and bearing upon all parts of the cast
iron. The outer plate has a shoulder or edge of one inch in thickness, which
being turned to a circle, serves as a rest or bed for the inner edge of the flange.
The flange is also of cast steel and turned to exactly fit the tire, forming a
perfect joint on its rest and on its tire. There is a cast iron plate for the
inner side of the wheel, which serves to hold the tire to its place and to keep
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 197
the dust out of the wheel. These four parts are held together by i6 strong
bolts of cold drawn iron. A great per cent, of the accidents that occur are
undoubtedly caused by the breaking of tvheels. The chilling of parts in a cast
iron wheel tends to weaken it as a whole, because the chilled part is rendered
brittle, and in consequence, its natural strength is greatly impaired, and its
capacity of withstanding strains upon it of sudden jars is very much lessened.
The Rigby wheel obviates all these difficulties and dangers, composed as it
is of both cast iron and steel, and the two so combined as to leave each in
condition and position to perform its part to the fullest extent of its natural
strength and capacity. This feature of durability and safety is also attended
by the fact of its great economy ; for should one part from use or accident
become unfit for use, that one part only has to be suppUed, whereas, in the old
styles of wheels, the whole wheel would have to be replaced. This wheel
also obviates a great per cent, of the noise attending a rapidly moving train,
as the joints necessary to the fitting together of the several parts stop the
vibration, and hence decrease the noise. The inventor asserts that the
wheel will last from eight- to twelve years, and that disaster from the
fracture of any part would be prevented by the support given by the others.
It is also claimed that the steel rim being mechanically sound, secures easier
riding. Mr. Rigby has given mechanics and railroad officials every oppor-
tunity to test the practicability of his invention, and it has been pronounced by
them with one accord " to be positively the best wheel ever invented."
A company has been incorporated at Fort Worth, Texas, and are soon to
commence its manufacture there. It is only a question of a very short time
when this wheel will be in general use upon the railroads of this country, and
Rutland is very fortunate in being chosen as the site for one of its manufac-
tories.
Steam Stone- Cutter Co. — This company was organized and incorporated
under the laws of New York, in 1865, for the purpose of manufacturing the
IVardwell Stone Channeling and Quarrying Alachine, for quarrying marble,
lime, sand, brown-stone, etc. At first the company had its office in New
York city, and the manufacturing done in different parts of the country ; but
soon perceiving the advantage of having their manufactory in the heart of a
quarrying district, they established themselves in Rutland. The invention is
covered by numerous patents in the United States, Canada, England and
France, and many of the machines are in use in each of these countries.
The works are under the immediate supervision of the inventor, Mr. George
J. Wardwell, and give employment to a large number of men.
Lincoln Iron Works. — This establishment was opened in the fall of 1868
for the manufacture of stone-planing, hoisting, and other stone-working ma-
chinery, engines, etc., to which has since been added the manufacture of the
Crescent Coffee Mill, a joint invention of Thomas and Crawford D. Ross.
Thomas, at the time of his death, was proprietor of the estabhshment. The
manufactory is now carried on by his brother, Crawford D., under the admin-

istrators of the estate. Thomas, as before stated, was one of the original
inventors of the Howe Scales. His useful life was brought to a sad and un-
fortunate end by the bursting of an emery wheel at his works, on the 5th of
January, 1881. The shops and foundry are situated on West St., near the
railroad-crossing, and furnish employment for from thirty-five to forty men.
Mansfield &= Stiinson Iron Foundry^ located on the north-west side of
Freight street, near its junction with Union, was first established by Bowman
& Mansfield about 30 years ago (1851), and continued until December,
1865, when upon Mr. Bowman's retiring, a new firm was founded by G. R.
Mansfield and C. L. Stimson. The shops were formerly located on the site
now occupied by the Rutland Foundry Go's works, but the buildings being
destroyed by fire, their temporary shops were built upon the present site, and
later the present structure was erected. This company is engaged in the
manufacture of all kinds of quarrying and marble and slate manufacturing
machinery, and in casting car-wheels and other railroad castings, and also
deal in pipe and pipe-fittings, iron and steel, giving employment to a large
number of men.
Boiler Manufactory. — The Boiler Works of John W. and Joseph H.
Holmes were estabhshed in 1872, their shops being then located on Strong's
Ave., but they have recently purchased and fitted up their present place of
business, corner of West and Forest streets, where they enjoy increased facili-
ties for manufacturing and shipping their goods, as the tracks of the G. V.,
and the D. & H. G. Go's. R. R. pass immediately before their door. Their
specialty is the manufacture of steam boilers of all sizes and descriptions;
but they also build stationary engines of from two to ten horse power. At
the present time this firm employs sixteen skilled workmen, and are increasing
their business constantly.
D. Shortsleeve' s machine shop, located on Strong's avenue, was established
in August, 1878, and then occupied only a space of 20 by 40 feet; in Aug.
1879 he was compelled to enlarge to 40 by 60 feet, and put in tools and
machinery to correspond with the size of the building. In Nov. 1880, a two-
story brick building, 30 by 50 feet, was added, also an engine of thirty-five
horse power, and a boiler of forty horse capacity. He is now completing a
foundry, 42 by 70 feet, with a cupola having the capacity for melting ten tons
of iron. Mr. Shortsleeve, being a thorough and active workman himself, acts
as superintendent and foreman of his works, doing all kinds of machine work,
and making a specialty of the manufacture of quarrying and stone-working
machinery.
The Button Factory of Gay, Kimball 6^ Gay has been in oj^eration since
1876, but was not located in Rutland until December, 1880, removing there
from Gaysville. The buttons are manufactured from vegetable ivory, of
which about 2,000 pounds per day are used, giving employment to about
seventy-five hands, male and female. Their wares are shipped principally to
New York and Boston, although orders from the Gentral and Western States
are frequently filled.

The brick-yard of John L. Mcl?ityre v^z-i, established in 1852, since which
time he has furnished brick for many of the best business, public, and private
buildings in Rutland and Bennington counties. He has an excellent clay-bed,
as good perhaps as any in Vermont, and employs in his yard from twenty to
thirty men.
The Ruilaiid Foundry and Machine Shop Co. was organized in 1862, for
the purpose of building castings for heavy machinery, and the manufacture
of car-wheels. The latter are in general use upon the Central Vermont,
Connecticut River, Bennington & Rutland and other railroads. They cast
annually about 1500 tons of iron and employ twenty men. The foundry is
under the supervision of Mr. J. B. Harris, and the machine works under the
management of the Charles P. Harris Manufacturing Co.
The Charles P. Harris Manufacturing Co. was commenced in 1874, under
the firm name of Charles P. Harris & Co. Previous to 1879 the business
was devoted chiefly to the manufacture of doors, sash, blinds, mouldings, etc. ;
but at that time the present firm name was adopted, and the manufacture of
chairs, church wood-work, etc., added, also the business of the Rutland Nail
Works, which the company purchased in 1877. They now employ about
thirty men in the shops, in addition to some 200 persons who at their homes
are engaged in bottoming cain-seat chairs. About 1,000,000 feet of lumber
are consumed in the business annually. In the machine department a specialty
is made of the manufacture of stone and iron-working machinery and general
jobbing.
D. M. White &> Co. — This company was organized in 1870 for the purpose
of carrying on the manufacture and sale of lumber. The first office was
located near the freight depot, and removed to its present location on West
street in 1875. The company has extensive steam-mills located in Mendon,
Shrewsbury and Sherburne, where they manufacture large quantities of
lumber, staves, lath, etc. They also do an extensive business in flour, feed,
and Akron sewer-pipe.
H. L. Verder &• Cds steam bakery, located on Centre street, was estab-
Hshed by Daniel Verder in 1853. The building occupied by the present
firm was erected by them in 1868, and contains all the appliances of a
model bakery. The business gives employment to eight men, who manu-
facture thirty- five barrels of crackers per day, in addition to a large quantity
of bread, cake, etc.
The White &= Haven Marble Manufactory. — The business of manufactur-
ing marble was commenced at this location in March, 1867, by George F.
and S. C. White. S. C. White soon retired from the business, after which
various parties were interested with George F., up to June, 1877, when Mr.
Frank Haven became associated with him in the business. About 25 men
are employed in the works at Rutland, and about 30 in the granite works
at Fitzwilliam, N. H. They also employ a number of men at their quarries
in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Red Beach, Me. Their sales on

manufactured goods shipped to the ^Vestern States amount to $100,000.00
per annum.
Thayer &= Co., shirt manufacturers, opened business at Rutland in August,
1880. The business had previously been carried on at Glens Falls, N. Y.,
by S. T. Thayer alone. Since the removal here business has increased so
that more room was needed. Consequently Mr. J. M. Haven, of this firm,
has just erected a building, 40x100 feet, and five stories in height, three floors
of which are to be used for the shirt business, while the two upper stories are
an addition to the Bates House. The firm expect to make from 50 to 75
dozen shirts per day.
Levi Premo began the carriage and blacksmithing business on Wales street
in the fall of 1876. He now employs eight men and manufactures about
50 wagons, of different styles, and 25 sleighs per annum.
Samuel Terrill, with his father Ziba, had begun the carriage business on
the hill in 1858. The business was established at its present location in
1859, and has since been conducted by Samuel. He employs 15 men and
manufactures a large quantity of heavy and light wagons, carriages and sleighs,
each year.
Banks.
The National Bank of Rutland \fz.% chartered in 1824 under the name of
"The Bank of Rutland," with a capital of $50,000.00 and with Robt. Temple
president, and William Page, cashier. It retained this name until 1866, when
it was reorganized as a National Bank, assuming its present name, with a capi-
tal of $300,000.00, and Hon. John B. Page, president, Francis Slason, vice-
president, and S. W. Rowell, cashier. Since this time the capital of the in-
stitution has increased to $500,000.00, with a surplus fund of $100,000.00.
Mr. Slason, the present vice-president, has been connected with the institu-
tion ever since it was first organized, and was one of the original directors.
Rutland Savings Bank. — This institution was incorporated in 1850, begin-
ning with a small deposit and gradually gaining the confidence of the com-
munity until it now has deposited in its care over $1,000,000.00. The first
president and treasurer was Mr. Luther Daniels, who retained the position
until 1879, having served with ability and honor a period of 29 years. Mr.
Daniels was succeeded by Wm. M. Field, who still retains the position. Mr.
Newton Kellogg is treasurer.
The Rutland County National Bank was chartered as a State Bank in 1861,
with a capital of $100,000.00. In 1865 it was reorganized as a National
Bank, with a capital of $200,000.00. This is about its present capital, with
a surplus fund of $75,000.00. William Y. Ripley, president, and James Mer-
rill, cashier, were the first officers of the institution. Mr. Ripley died Sep-
tember 27, 1875, and was succeeded by his son, WiUiam Y. W. On June
10, 1867, Henry F. Field was elected cashier, to fill the vacancy made by the
resignation of James Merrill, who resigned to accept the position of treasurer
of the National Trust Company of New York city, where he died in 1873,
while holding that office.

The Baxter National Bank was organized in August, 1870, with a capital
of $300,000, H. H. Baxter being president ; J. N. Baxter, vice-president ;
and G. R. Bottum, cashier. The institution has at present a capital of
$300,000, with a surphis fund of $54,000. The building is a handsome
three-story structure with a mansard roof, built of pressed brick and iron
trimmings, presenting a grand and imposing appearance, and cost about
$80,000.
The State Trust Co. of Rutland was organized June 3,
capital of $100,000, and does a general banking business,

Educational.

with Charles
Harrison, as-
Under an Act of the Legislature of Vermont in 1841, a union district
was formed in the village of Rutland by the consent of the four districts, and
(The Rutland High School.)
on the 6th of April, 1855, at a public meeting of the districts, the union was
consummated, and soon after a high school was established. This organiza-
tion was in successful operation during a period of twelve years. But to give
greater unity and efficiency to the school system, a vote was passed at a special
meeting of the legal voters of the village, held February 20, 1867, whereby
all the school districts in the village were consolidated into one district, to be
called the Rutland Graded School District, which vote was legaHzed by the
Legislature, March 28, 1867, and on the 9th day of April following, at an ad-
journed meeting of the legal voters of the village, the organization of the
Graded School District was completed by the election of officers.
202 TOWN OF RUTLAND.
The High School building was erected in 1852, but was rebuilt and en-
larged in 1879, so that the village now has a school building it may well be
proud of. It is beatifully located on a hill near the head of Center street,
commanding a fine view, at the same time receiving the benefit of the health-
ful air of the higher land. It is a handsome commodious structure, built of
pressed brick, with stone trimmings, and well ventilated. It also contains a
library of about 3,000 rare volumes, which are kept in a room nicely and
appropriately furnished for that purpose. The school has also valuable ap-
paratus for astronomical and philosophical illustration, the whole being under
charge of the principal, Oscar Atwood, M. A. Including the High School,
there are five school buildings in the Graded School District, employing
nineteen teachers. Taken all in all, the educational advantages enjoyed by
Rutland will compare favorably with those of any other place of its size in
the country.
Insurance,
The New England Fire Insurance Company was organized March 30th,
1881, under a charter granted by the Legislature, with a capital of $100,000,
and is the only stock fire insurance company in the State. J. M. Haven
was elected president; Bradley Fish, vice-president; B. W. Marshall, treas-
urer, and C. Parmenter, secretary.
Ripley Music Hall.
The Ripley Opera House, destroyed by fire in 1874, is now in process of
re-erection. The new building is to be known as " The Ripley Music Hall,"
after its projector, Gen. E. H. Ripley. It is to be three stories high, with a
much more ornate exterior than the old one. The first story of the front will
have a marble base, with iron columns and entablature. Above the first
story the front is to be of brick, set in red cement, without pencilings, with trim-
mings of blue marble. Running entirely across the building, at irregular in-
tervals in the second story, will be six courses of a combination of dark blue
and light blue marble, all flush with the brick except the fourth and six courses,
which will project flush with a series of heavy pilasters. The center or pro-
jecting section will terminate, near the top of the building, in a pediment with-
an elaborate marble cornice. The interior is to be handsomely decorated,
and capable of seating about 800 persons. Mr. J. J. R. Randall, the archi-
iect of the interior, has given especial study to the acoustic effect, and it is
not to be doubted, will meet with entire success. The Ripley Music Hall
win be a monument in the growth of the village that Rutland people will look
upon with pride.
House of Correction.
This is a State institution, built in pursuance of an Act passed by the
General Assembly, at its fourth biennial session in 1876. Rutland was
selected as its site, by the county's contributing $20,000 towards its erection,
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 203
and thereby gaining its use as a county jail. The building, located just west
of the village line, on the bank of East Creek, was erected in 1877-8, at a
cost of about $60,000. At the session of 1878 the Legislature changed the
purpose somewhat from its original intent as a workhouse to a " House of
Correction," and the criminal laws of the State were so amended as to allow
the Court at its discretion to sentence persons convicted of an offense pun-
ishable by imprisonment in the State Prison, to the House of Correction.
That the discipline of this institution is a great improvement over the State
Prison mode, can scarcely be doubted. Especial care is exercised relative to
cleanhness, clean, wholesome food furnished, and much pains taken towards
moral instruction. The institution is divided into a north and south wing, or
extension, with kitchen, guard-room and chapel between ; contains 75 cells,
four of which are lined with boiler iron and furnished with solid iron doors.
These are used for confining dangerous or refractory inmates, and is, indeed
about the only mode of punishment inflicted, the present management,
relying more upon kindness than harsh measures to preserve discipline. When
a prisoner enters the institution he is first obliged to make thoroughly clean
his person, and then is dresed in a clean suit of clothes, and from that time
until his release, habits of cleanliness and good manners are constantly en-
forced. All conversation with fellow prisoners is prohibited, and in health a
full day's work required. One day in each week they are gathered together
for religious instruction and advice, and at all times the superintendent and
keepers are ready by kind words and kindly admonitions to strengthen their
resolutions to lead a better hfewhen released. The female prisoners are kept
well employed in making, mending and washing the prison bedding and
clothing.
During the summer of 1879 Mr. M. R. Brown entered upon the contract
now in force for the labor of the prisoners. This contract, for finishing mar-
ble, is to continue for a term of five years from September i, 1879, ^^'^ '^^
terminable by either party upon six months notice. By its terms the con-
tractor is to pay twenty-five cents a day for the labor of each prisoner em-
ployed, up to August ist, 1880, and 30c thereafter. There are at present 72
prisoners confined here, of which seven are female. I. M. Tripp was first ap-
pointed superintendent, but resigned his office before the close of the first
month, and G. N. Eayres, the present superintendent, was appointed to fill the
vacancy. To the good character, judgment, prudent and careful manage-
ment of Mr. Eayres, much of the success of the institution is due. Although
without experience in the management of prisoners at first, he has mastered
the situation and is now well fitted for the position.
Hotels.
T/ie Bafes House, located just opposite the depot, on Merchants row, is as
fine in all its appointments as any in New England, comparing favorably
with the first-class hotels of our large cities. It contains 150 light, well ven-
204
TOWN OF RUTLAND
tilated and luxuriously furnished rooms, several jmrlors, and a spacious
dining-hall. The furniture throughout is of black walnut, marble-topped, of
elegant design, mostly Eastlake pattern. Every room is heated by steam and
connected with the office by Creighton's patent speaking tubes ; the floors
are covered with body Brussels carpets, and indeed furnished with every
improvement known or attainable for the comfort and convenience of guests.
The cuisine is all that the most fastidious could wish, while the gentlemanly
proprietor, Mr. J. M. Haven, and the manager, Mr. W. F. Paige, by their
courtesy and kindness to guests, render the hotel not only a success, but
immensely pojuilar with all. From the large and finely furnished observatory,
(The Bates House.)
tourists can obtain a fine view of Rutland and its environs, including Killing-
ton, Pico and Shrewsbury mountains, and the Otter Creek as it winds its way
through the valley, with the Green Mountains on one side and the Taconic
on the other, forming a scene that is scarcely rivalled by that of any other
country. With a ten mile drive over a road leading directly east from the
hotel, one will arrive at the famous Mt. Killington, rising in majestic
grandeur 4,380 feet above tide-water, the highest point in Vermont, except
Mt. Mansfield ; from its summit a view may be obtained far surpassing
in extent and majestic beauty that obtained from any other mountain in
Vermont, and is even regarded more attractive than that from Mt. Washing-
ton, being less a scene of desolation, and of greater pastoral beauty ; pre-
senting to the beholder a sea of mountains clothed to their summits with
verdure, their sides dotted with nestUng lakes and fertile farms. Although
these mountains seem to crowd each other, so great is their profusion, there
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 205
is yet room for many valleys of great beauty and fertility. This feature of
cultivation does not tame the view, but enhances the charm of its vastness.
A view that includes the greater part of New England, and even ex-
tending far beyond its limits, cannot well be tamed by cultivation. This
prospect takes in all the mountains of Vermont, the White Mountains, and
all the principal ones of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and the beautiful
Adirondacks ; also Lake Champlain, so plainly visible that steamers can be
seen upon its waters with the naked eye. The grand prospect, together with
the abundant springs of water, cold and pure as crystal, situated within a few
rods of the summit, and the purity of atmosphere which the great elevation
affords, all combine to make this mountain a delightful dwelling-place during
the summer months. It was first occupied by a party of the United States
Coast Survey in the summer of 1879, when a carriage-road was built for their
accommodation as far up as the spring. At this point, in August of the
same year, a small house was built by V. C. Meyerhoffer, of Rutland, as a
health resort and for the accommodation of tourists. During August and
September of that year about one thousand people visited the mountain.
The following year, 1880, a much larger house was erected in addition to the
old one, and the number of guests largely increased. Killington bids fair to
become one of the most attractive summer resorts of New England. A new
road is to be built this summer up the Sherburne side of the mountain, and
the present road is to be greatly improved.
The Bardwell House, located on Merchants row, opposite the railroad
depot, was built by Bardwell & Cook, and opened in the spring of 1852,
J. VV. Cramton became proprietor August 16, 1865, and has since conducted
the house as a first-class hotel in all respects.
The Berwick House, built in 1868, and owned by C. F. Richardson, is a
large, well regulated hotel, located on the corner of Center and Wales streets.
Fires.
Rutland has been visited during the last half century by three destructive
fires, the black scar left by the last having never been removed, and still de-
nominated as the "burnt district." The first great fire, occurring in the mid-
dle of a July night in 1845, swept away all of that side of Main street lying
between the old Butler House and "the three-storied store." In April of the
following year another fire occurred on Main street, making a new " burnt
district," extending from the old Grove House to the Strong House — in all a
dozen front buildings and more than a score of back buildings. But the last
and greatest occurred on the 3rd of April, 1868, involving a loss of over $50,-
000.00. This fire was occasioned by the bursting of a lamp in the bar-room
of the Franklin House, a large hotel owned by Gershom Cheney, located on
the east side of Main street. When first discovered, at about 1:30 a. m., it
was under considerable headway, and the whole main building was soon a
mass of flames, which no human power could quell. It then ran along by a
2o6 TOWN OF RUTLAND.
connecting link to a block owned by W. H. B. Owen, which was also in a
few minutes burning rapidly. The county court house, on the north of the
hotel, caught fire in the cupola almost at the same time as Mr. Owen's store.
From the court house it next enveloped a wooden building on the north.
At this point, there being an alley of some fifteen to twenty feet wide, the fire
began to succumb to the water poured upon it, the Dr. Ross block, next
south of Mr. Owen's, being the southern limit. The FrankHn House, at the
time of the fire, was filled with guests and boarders, but fortunately all escaped
safely, though most of them lost their wardrobes. Two eminent lawyers, at-
tending the County Court, came down from the second story on a board,
being men of more than average avoirdupois, and rivals in the poHtical arena;
their safe landing was hailed with delight, as grave doubts had been enter-
tained of the strength of their frail support. Other than these fires no great
calamities have visited the village.
Previous to the year 1846 there was no street leading west from Main
except West street. The other streets of the village were Greene street and
Woodstock avenue. From where Oscar Brown now resides — then at the out-
skirts of the village — there were only two houses before reaching the creek,
the Ruggles house and Chipman Thrall's. The village did not begin to build
up much until about the time the railroad was constructed, 1847 to '50. At
this time there were but three churches in the place, which now contains seven.
On the 26th of December, 1856, it was decided by the authorities "to open
two new streets, to be called Center street and Court street^ These streets
havesince become two of the most important of the village. In 1S53 and '54 the
depot was erected. In 1857 the U. S. court house and post oftice building
was erected, at a cost of about $80,000.00. Thus from year to year has the
village added to its beauty and importance, until at the present time, with its
1 7 miles of streets, it bids fair to be, in less than another quarter of a century,
one of the most prosperous and flourishing cities of the East.
Old Houses.
The oldest house in the village is the old gambrel-roofed building next
west of the Advent Chapel, on West street, built previous to 1775, and used
several years as a county court house. (See page 43.) The building located
on the north-west corner of Main and West streets was built about the year
1775, and for a long time used as a hotel. Where Cheney Bros, and Graves
now are, Luther Daniels & Bell were located a number of years as general
merchants. The building was erected, however, previous to 1795, by John
A. Graham; just north of this was the old Franklin House. Where Mr.
Field now resides was the old Fox place, where the Herald was first pub-
lished, and a book store kept. The old jail was located where Mr. Lawrence
now resides. Among the business men in Rutland in i794-'g5-'96 were
Trobridge Maynard, in the saddlery business ; James Daviss and William
Leadwell were clothiers ; Joseph Munn kept the tavern near the court house
TOWN OF RUTLAND.
207
and Elijah Taylor opened the tavern "lately occupied by Major Buell;" Fred
Hill was postmaster ; Nathaniel Chipman and Leonard Williams were together
in the law business; Pomeroy & Hooker were druggists ; Pepoon Fuller &
Co., Jonas & Anthony Butler; Isacher Reed, "a few rods east of the meet-
ing house ; " and Ralph Page " one mile west of the court house," were
general merchants; Uri Hill was a house and sign painter; David Stevens,
late of Walpole, N. H. was in the boot and shoe business, a few rods north
of the meeting house, East Parish; he was also a tanner and currier here;
Eben Mussey sold boots, shoes and leather at wholesale and retail, about
half a mile south of the court house ; John and Wm. Smith were blacksmiths ;
Wm. Storer was a goldsmith and silversmith ; Sampson Ladd was a carpen-
ter and builder ; Wm. Hale was a cabinet maker, " 100 rods west of the State
House, at Rutland."
The present churches of Rutland are convenient in size and general
arrangement, and are usually under the pastoral care of able ministers ; of
these additional mention will be made further on. The whole appearance of
the village denotes the presence of a thriving, prosperous, happy people.
West Rutland, a post village and station on the D. & H. C. Go's R. R.
is located about four miles west of Rutland village, in the West Parish of
Rutland. It contains one hotel, three churches, about a dozen stores and
about 2,000 inhabitants. At a distance of eighty rods north from the rail-
road depot in the village, is a range of hills rising 200 feet above the bottom
lands. On the western slope of these hills, and near the base, crops out the
world famous Rutland Marble.
Marble, from the Greek wood juarmoros, to sparkle, to flash, to .gleam, is
a term properly applied to the varieties of carbonate of lime, which have a
granular and crystaline texture. In the ordinary parlance of the mason, it
means almost any rock that may be polished ; such as steatite^ serpentine,
hrecca, etc. The use of marble for ornamental and artistic purposes dates
from the remotest antiquity. Italy, the famous marble producing country of
the world, whose far-famed quarries of Garrara have supplied statuaries with
this beautiful material from the time of Julius G^sar, was destined to find a
dangerous rival nestled in the quiet hills at West Rutland. The valley at the
foot of West Mountain, in 1838, was a dreary swamp, land that one would
scarcely believe worth a song. In 1838 William F. Barnes began a lime
kiln near the " old red store," calcining the marble into quick-lime. Soon
the idea occurred to him that this limestone might be used in the manufac-
ture of tomb-stones. Accordingly he struck a bargain for this barren,
swampy land, including a portion of the hill, giving in exchange an old
horse, worth not to exceed $75. This same barren land contained nearly all
of the famous quarries of West Rutland, now valued at millions, and which
before his death he sold for $130,000.
Starting from the R. R. depot and going north, a short walk places the
visitor at the three large quarries of Sheldons &■= Slason. These quarries
3o8 TOWN OF RUTLAND.
were opened about the year 1843, and the past 38 years, marble has been
taken from them to the depth of 250 feet. In the beguining the business
was limited, and not very profitable, as, in the absence of railroads, the
entire product had to be hauled by teams from the quarries to Whitehall, N.
Y., the nearest shipping point, a distance of twenty-five miles. But the
completion of the railroad in 1851 gave an impetus to the business. In the
spring of 1850 Messrs. Sheldons & Slason erected an "an eight gang" mill,
running nine months in the year, in the day time only, and then more nearly
met the demand than they now do with a forty-eight gang mill, running
night and day all the months of the year. The machinery is driven by a
300 horse-power engine, which also hoists the stone from the quarries.
In quarrying, sawing and shipping marble 350 men are employed. In ad-
diton to the vast amount of marble which they work up on their own
account, they annually ship many thousand tons to be worked up by other
mills.
The Gilson iSn Woodjin quarries, just north of Sheldons & Slason's, were
opened in 1845, William F. Barnes working the quarries by contract for
Allen & Adams until 1849, when they took a lease of the property. There
was but one opening (which has attained a greater depth than the opening
of any other quarry) until 1879, when the present firm made another opening
higher, on a deposit running parallel with the old one ; this as yet has not
been worked to any great extent. The business has undergone numerous
changes, until June, 1868, it was taken by the- present firm, who employ
about 100 men.
The Sherman (5^ Gleason quarries, north of the Gilson & Woodfin
opening, were opened in 1 846 by the present proprietors, who employ 60
men.
The West Rutland Marble Company. — In i867-'68 a firm under the name
of " The Green Mountain Marble Co." opened a quarry on the old Blanchard
estate, which they worked three or four years, and took therefrom about
$75,000.00 worth of marble ; but did not make it a success, on account of
lack of funds to carry on the business. Since it was abandoned by them it
has lain idle until May i, 1881, when it was bought by J. E. Manley, Esq., of
West Rutland, J. S. Brown, of Concord, N. H., A. J. Griftin and Thomas H.
Elliott, of Lowell, Mass., forming themselves into a company under the name
of "The West Rutland Marble Co." The whole is under the management
of Mr. J. E. Manley, and there is Httle doubt but that under him the enter-
prise will prove a success, as he is a gentl^nan possessed of rare business
quahties and has had considerable experience in the marble trade.
The old Rutland Marble Company, whose quarries and mills are situated
north of the Sherman & Gleason quarry, was organized October 39, 1863,
and worked 24 gangs of saws; but on September 30, 1880, it united with the
Sutherland Falls Co. to form the Vermont Marble Co., who now have their
headquarters at Centre Rutland.
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 209
Centre Rutland, a small post-village, located midway between Rutland
village and West Rutland, on the Central Vermont and D. & H. C. Co.'s R.
R., and by a beautiful fall on Otter Creek, contains one store, one
church, one grist-mill, about forty dweUings and the mills of the Vermont
Marble Co.
Evergreen Cemetery, located on Pine Hill, near Centre Rutland, is
beautifully situated, covering an area of 45 acres, and a considerable portion
of it improved and embellished. The whole is covered with a natural grove
of pine and oak, and contains seven fountains, a number of beautiful monu-
ments, and the grounds are kept in good condition. The association was
organized in i860, with the following hst of officers: Frederick Chaffee, Wil-
liam A. Burnett, Rockwood Barrett, John B. Proctor and J. G. Griggs. The
officers at the present time are, J. J. R. Randall, president ; Dr. Chas. Wood-
house, treasurer; B. W. Marshall, secretary, and J. G. Griggs, superintendent.
The Vermont Marble Co. was chartered under the laws of New York, on
the 30th day of September, 1880, with ex-Governor Redfield Proctor, prest. ;
A. Smedbury, of New York city, Sec'y and Treas. ; Ner P. Simons, Supt.
This company employs in all 700 men. At their mills in Sutherland Falls,
they operate sixty-four gangs of saws, twenty-four gangs at West Rutland,
twenty-eight at Centre Rutland, and eight gangs at their branch mills in
Salem, N. Y., making in all 124 gangs. At their quarries in West Rutland,
Sutherland Falls and Double Road Crossing, they have in all seven openings,
making the largest marble business operated by any one firm in the world.
Sutherland Falls, a small post village, located in the extreme northern
part of the township and lying partly in Pittsford, contains one store and
about a hundred dwellings, nearly the whole population being in the em-
ploy of the Vermont Marble Company's mills and quarries at this
place. The village of Sutherland Falls is beautifully located on Otter
Creek, and is also a station on the Central Vermont Railroad, taking its
name from the falls on Otter Creek at this point. These falls form one of
the best mill privileges in the State, with surroundings that are eminently
picturesque and beautiful. From a rear door of the new marble mill, located
but a few rods from the head of the falls, one may obtain a view that is well
worthy a visit by one who justly appreciates beautiful scenery. A wide-
spread and beautiful valley opens to the north and east, thickly studded
with comfortable and oftentimes elegant farm-houses, with well-fenced and
highly cultivated fields, beyond which, to the north, may be seen the cluster
of buildings that form Pittsford village. To the east may be seen the wild
towering peaks of Pico, KiUington and Shrewsbury ; while to the right the
old Otter falls roaring over an eminence 118 feet in height, then follows its
serpentine way northward, till at last it is lost in a thread of silver, far away
in the verdant valley.
The quarries are located about half a mile from the mills, which are operated
by water-power, having a head of 118 feet. The drills and channeling-

machines are operated by compressed air, the engines for its compression
being located at the mills, from whence it is conducted to the quarries by
means of large iron pipes. Three compressers are used, the same that were
employed in the excavations of Hoosac Tunnel. The quarries being located
a number of feet higher than the mills, the blocks of marble have only to be
loaded upon cars built for the purpose, when by gravitation they are con-
ducted down the gently inclined plane, directly into the mills. Thus the
marble is quarried, sawed and polished, with absolutely no expense for mo-
tive power, except the natural wear and tear on machinery. Marble was first
quarried here in 1836, by Humphrey, Ormsbee & Co., who failed in 1837.
In 1853 a new company was formed, called the North River Mining and
Quarrying Co., which continued in operation three years, when the property
fell into the hands of the Sutherland Falls Marble Co., under which name it
was operated until 1880, when it was united with the old Rutland Marble
Company, the two forming the Vermont Marble Company. When Gov.
Proctor first became interested in these quarries, in 1869, then operated
by the Sutherland Falls Marble Company, they used but sixteen gangs
of saws, and since that time their works have increased to sixty-four
gangs, and now employ 375 men. Mr. Proctor's residence is at Sutherland
Falls, a pleasant cottage, located just at the head of the falls, surrounded by
shade trees and evergreens. He has lately donated to the village a fine Hbrary,
containing 3,000 rare volumes.
Flint Bros, marble quarries^ located on road 43; at Double Road Crossing,
were first established in 1866. as the Eureka Marble Co., and afterwards
changed to Flint, Johnson & Co., and in 1878 to Flint Bros. The firm is
now Flint Bros. & Co. The quality of the marble is of a clouded variety,
which is well adapted for monumental purposes. The mills and quarries are
operated by steam power; the former contains twelve gangs of saws, four
turning and four finishing lathes. The firm employs fifty men and produces
$50,000 worth of marble annually. In removing the marble from the quar-
ries the workmen have come upon several remarkable specimens of /^?/-/;t'/^j-/
one of them nearly twenty feet deep and several feet in diameter. The sides
are quite smooth, and they still contain the rocks, which by the constant action
of water had been whirled round until they had worn these immense holes in
the solid marble, hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago.
H. N. Reynolds' quarry, located on road 3, produces a variegated quality,
resembling Italian Bardiglio. The vein has been tested and found to be
ninety feet wide and several hundred feet long. The quarry is not in opera-
tion at present.
The Colicfubian Marble Cds quarry was opened in 1836 by Humphrey,
Ormsbee (Jt Co., who worked it about two years, when work was suspended
and the property passed into the hands of Francis Slason, as receiver. The
company then worked it for him about four years, and then it was abandoned
until 1867, when it was again started by a firm under the name of the North
TOWN OF RUTLAND.
Rutland Marble Co., and again changed in 1870 to the present firm name.
They employ at the quarries twenty men and operate three machines. Their
mill at Rutland employs 150 men.
Ripley Sons' marble works^ located on road 41, were established in 1844,
employing on the start about twenty men. They now saw 300,000 feet of
marble per year, and employ fifty-five men.
On April, 1881, the Vermont Marble Co., Sheldons & Slason, Gilson &
Woodfin, Ripley Sons and Sherman & Gleason Companies formed a co-
partnership, with a central office at Rutland village, by which they agreed to
open yards in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, from which all
their marble in these places was to be sold, and each company to have a share
of the sales according to the assessed value of their stock, the annoying and
vexations delays in the filling of orders for marble being obviated by this
method of doing business, as under the new plan orders will go to those who
can most readily take care of them, and be filled in much less time than they
could be were the selection confined to any one company's yard, and at
the same time prices can be regulated more to the advantage of both con-
sumer and producer. The association is known as the " Producers Marble
Co."
The Toicin Farm is located on road 51, and contains 280 acres, under the
management of William F. Kelley. There are at present thirty-five of the
town poor supported here.
Early Settlement.
During the old Colonial wars Rutland had no whifce man dwelling within
its limits ; but yet was always, " in ye olden times," the focus of Indian travel.
From Fort Dummer, in Massachusetts, a brisk trade was kept up with Can-
ada, the line of travel being across what is now the State of Vermont, and
as Otter Creek, north and south, Castleton River to the west and Cold River
to the east, formed the most convenient route for the trading canoes, the
present township of Rutland may have been the scene of many a conflict
between the treacherous red man and the hardy trader. The first record we
have of any white man's visiting the territory is that of James Coss, who
passed along Otter Creek with twelve Caughnawaga Indians in May, 1730.
In 1759 the old military road from Charleston, N. H., to Ticonderoga and
Crown Point was put through, passing along Black River and Otter Creek,
crossing Otter Creek at Centre Rutland. Twenty years after this, Fort Ran-
ger, located on this road at Center Rutland, was the headquarters of the
State forces. The first white man that ever settled in Rutland township was
Captain James Mead, who came to Centre Rutland in the year 1769. Mead
was born in Massachusetts in 1730, and, while yet a young man, removed
to Nine Partners, N. Y., where he resided until 1764, and then emigrated
with others to Manchester, Vermont. On the 30th day of September,
1769, he bought of Nathan Stone, of Windsor, 7,000 acres of land, about
TOWN OF RUTLAND.
one-ciuarter of the whole township of Rutland, paying $333.33 for the same,
in horses. On the same day he sold 3,500 acres of his land to Charles
Button, of Clarendon. He built a log house about half a mile west
of Centre Rutland, near the bank of West Creek, (Tinmouth River,)
the first house built in the township. During the winter he returned for his
family, consisting of a wife and ten children, returning with them in March
of the following spring. They were three days coming from Manchester,
and when they arrived :.t their log house they found it was built too near the
creek, and the snow and ice had made it unavailable ; so for a time they
took refuge in a wigwam belonging to the Indians, quite an encampment of
whom he found at the falls. Of these Caughnawaga Indians numerous
traditions are still extant, and they seem to have been very friendly, peace-
able neighbors. It is said they furnished lead for bullets to the white men,
in exchange for tobacco, &c., but would never reveal the place where they
got it. Mead has said they would start from the falls and not be gone over
an hour, and return with large pieces. For this reason it was long believed
there were lead mines in the vicinity, but none have ever been found. In
this wigwam the Mead family resided until the next fall, during which time
they had completed a comfortable log house, in which they wintered.
During the spring of 1770, Simeon Powers, from Springfield, Vt., with his
wife Lydia and one child, settled west of Otter Creek, on the present Kelley
farm. Soon after, Asa Johnson and his wife, from WiUiamstown, Mass.,
settled near them. They were joined in the fall' by William Dwinell and
wife, relatives of the Powers', from Springfield, who took up their residence
with them. These four famiUes comprised the whole white population of
Rutland in the fall of 1770.
During this year Thomas Rowley was in Rutland surveying lots, and
on the 33d of September, the first white child was born ; a son of Simeon
Powers, named William. On the following day, William, son of James
Mead, was born. Nine days after, the 3d of October, Chloe, daughter of
Asa Johnson, was born, making three children born in the town during the
^rst year of its settlement. The first death recorded is that of an infant of
Aaron and Ruth Miller, May 26th, 1770.*
In 177 1, on the 3rd of April, Gov. Dunmore, of New York, issued the pat-
ent of Socialborough, in direct violation of the King's Order in Council of July,
1767, forbidding such grant. This prohibitory order, and the consequent
want of authority in the Governor to make the grant, was well known to the
parties for whose benefit it was made, and it was therefore illegal and void.
The patent covered forty-eight thousand acres of land, bounded on the south
by Clarendon, and was thirteen miles in length from north to south, by over
six in wid^th, and nearly identical with the present townships of Rutland and
Pittsford. The nominal grantees in the patent were forty-eight persons, each
entitled to one thousand acres, but most of them, a few days after the patent
*This death is noted in the town records. We have no information of the family being permanent settlers.
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 213
was issued, conveyed their shares to a few New York city speculators, for
whose benefit the grant had really been made, and who instigated and sus-
tained all subsequent efforts to eject the New Hampshire claimants. Soon a
Scotchman by the name of Cockburn was sent by the "land pirates" to
survey their stolen land, and it was he who surveyed the present Main street of
Rutland village. But the people of Socialborough did not purpose to tamely
submit to this outrage, so the surveyor did not find his lot a happy one, as an
extract from a letter written by him, addressed to Mr. Duane, the most prom-
inent of the New York speculators, will testify. (See page 56.) He was the
second time stopped by Mead and Johnson, and by other parties threatened
with death, and their threats appear to have prevented him from making
further attempts under the patent of Socialborough. The next summer,
however, he was found, with a number of his assistants, at Bolton, on the
Onion River, and was arrested by Remember Baker, Seth Warner and others,
who, after breaking his compass and chain, took him and his party to Castle-
ton, for trial before a court of the settlers ; but on learning that negotiations
for arranging their ditficulties were pending, allowed him to proceed on his
way without further molestation.
In 1774 Rutland had a population of thirty-five families, among whom were
Joseph Bowker and John Smith. Capt. John Smith emigrated from Sahs-
bury. Conn., to Rutland, in April of 1774, setthng on the farm now owned by
F. B. and J. Q. Smith. When the New York claimants under the patent of
Socialborough came to take possession of his farm, he resisted them, for
which offence he was sentenced to death, without trial, by the New York
Riot Act of 1774. But Hke Paddy's fish, "he had to be caught before he
could be cooked." Mr. Smith was the first town-clerk and the first Repre-
sentative of Rutland in the General Assembly. His farm consisted of 1400
acres, there being but one house between him and Centre Rutland at the
time he settled on it. He had five sons and one daughter, named respect-
ively John, Daniel, Joel, Silas, Elijah and Sarah, all of whom settled on the
tract of land owned by their father. Capt. Smith with two of his sons, John
and Daniel, were engaged in the Battle of Bennington, he being Capt. of the
guard placed over the prisoners lodged in the church after the engagement.
At one time Daniel and thirteen others were sent north on a scouting expe-
dition. In Shelburne they camped one night in a deserted log house.
Before morning they were surprised and surrounded by a party of Indians
and Tories numbering fifty-seven in all. An increased firing was kept up
till morning, when all that were left of the besieging party were surrounded,
taken prisoners and brought to Bennington with the loss of only one man.
While on their way to Bennington it was proposed that they all discharge
their guns for the purpose of cleaning them. When Daniel's was discharged,

night, and with such deadly effect ! " The old musket is still in possession of
his grandson, Daniel. Elijah W., son of Elijah, and his sister, Mrs. Sheldon,

he continued his studies until his graduation, January i6th, 1820, when he
returned to Rutland and commenced study and practice with Dr. Jonathan
Shaw, with whom he formed a partnership. This connection, however, only

222 TOWN OF RUTLAND.
then in its infancy. At one time this company owned the entire marble de-
posit from the present Sheldons & Slason, north. Dr. Sheldon, at a later
date, became senior member of the firm of Sheldons & Slason, continuing his
connection with this firm till 1865, when he sold out and ceased to have any
connection with the marble business ; but he continued to have large inter-
ests in real estate, which absorbed a considerable portion of his time through
the remainder of his life. He died at 12 o'clock on Sabbath morning, Sep-
tember 5, 1880, in his 80th year, and was buried amidst the universal expres-
sions of personal loss, by a people who had known and honored him from
childhood.
William F. Barnes, the pioneer of the marble interests of West Rutland, was
born in Pittsford, January 17, 1806. His parents emigrated to the West
during his boyhood, but Mr. B. chose to remain behind, and took up his
residence with Elijah Boardman, in West Rutland. The labors and specula-
tions of his younger days were confined entirely, then, to this section, and
exhibited that wonderful energy, tact and endurance which made him re-
markable through hfe. His life was a struggle, and he met with various
vicissitudes, until about the year 1836, when fickle fortune deigned to cast a
smile upon him, in the discovery and purchase by him of the quarry and
swamp lands adjoining. In connection with the marble interest which was
started by Mr. Barnes in company with Dr, Sheldon, he commenced
the labor of reclaiming the almost impenetrable swamp land hereabouts,
which now presents a scene of well cultivated fields. The building
of the Depot Block, the Barnes House, etc., upon sites elevated many feet
above the level, by carting soil from the swamp near by, were conceptions
and performances of this energetic worker. These buildings were erected
soon after the quarries were well developed, and the railroad was finished,
the depot being given to the railroad for their occupancy. Fortunes have
been accumulated and spent upon the field of his early toil, yet it cannot be
said that he acquired wealth; reverses, illegal adjustments, and unfair deal-
ings, all incident to hfe, were harsh experiences of his existence, and affected
his later life and fortune. A httle incident is related of him which illustrates
the generous impulse of his nature. A friend noticing the slow and uncer-
tain movements of some aged workmen, expressed his surprise that such
men were given employment, considering their infirmity and small amount
of labor they could perform. His answer was characteristic. " These men,"
said he, "have grown old in my employment ; I cannot deprive them now
of the means whereby to exist." On Wednesday, May 10, 187 1, while en-
gaged in superintending the work in one of the quarries, a block of marble,
weighing about 100 pounds, which had been lying in a pile at the top of the
quarry, became undermined by rain, and fell a distance of over sixty feet,
striking Mr. Barnes on the head and crushing the skull so terribly that the
brain was exposed. Incredible as it may appear, his death did not occur
until about nine o'clock of the Sunday following. Mr. Barnes represented
TOWN OF RUTLAND. 223
Rutland two years in the Legislature, and was held in general esteem by his
fellow citizens. He was for a time a local preacher of the Methodist Church,
but several years previous to his death, he withdrew from that society and
united with the F.piscopal Church.
William Y. Ripley, son of Nathaniel Ripley, an early resident of Middle-
bury, Vt., came to Rutland in 1837, locating at Centre Rutland, where he
engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1844 he established the marble business
now carried on by his sons. In 186 1 he was appointed ])resident of the Rut-
land County National Bank, which office he held until his death, which
occurred September 27, 1875. when he was succeeded by his son, William
Y. W., who still retains the position.
John Cain was born in Castletown, Isle of Man, January 28, 1809, where
he received the rudiments of the education at that time afforded to the
masses of the people of that island. Possessing an independent and am-
bitious spirit, desirous of making its own way in the world, he emigrated to
this country in 1833, at the age of 23 years. He came immediately to Rut-
land, and began life, in connection with a brother in his occupation, as an
architect and builder, which he pursued for two score years with great
industry, and was the builder of many buildings in this section. On the
24th of May, 1834, he was united in marriage with Mary, daughter of
Avery Billings. Five children were born to them, — William J., John, Avery
B., Jewett P. and Maty. William J. and Avery B. both died in 1879, which
brought sorrow to the hearts of their parents. They were young men of
more than ordinary promise, and served their country faithfully and well in
the civil war, and received recognition of their services by promotion to posi-
tions in the United States Army. The three others survive. Mr. Cain became
an ardent politician of the Democratic school of Jefferson and Jackson, and
vahantly and fearlessly fought the battles of that party. He was closely
identified with the interests of the town of Rutland for many years, and held
several positions of trust and responsibihty in its local government. He was
the founder and proprietor of the Rutland Courier, which was for a series of
years a vigorous journal and the organ of the Democratic party in Western
Vermont. He died, after a lingering illness, at Rutland, March 16, 1880.
Colonel Jesse Gove, son of Nathaniel and Esther (Tyler) Gove, was born
in Bennington, February 20, 1783. He read law with Cephas Smith, Jr.,
Esq., of Rutland; was admitted to the Rutland County Bar at the March
term of 1818, and thereafter resided in Rutland. He married, January 4,
1809, Sophia IngersoU. In 1809 "he was appointed clerk of the United States
District and Circuit Courts for the District of Vermont, and held that office
until his death. He was appointed postmaster at Rutland village April 9,
1 84 1. He also attained the rank of colonel in the mihtia.
Julia Caroline Ripley, daughter of Wm. Y. Ripley, was born in Charles-
town, S. C, February 13th, 1825, but most of her hfe has been spent in
Vermont. She was married February 2 2d, 1847, to Hon. Seneca M. Dorr,

then of New York, but now of Rutland. Mr. Dorr is well known to the
people of his adopted State as a legislator of prominence and ability. " The
Maples," their home, on the banks of Otter Creek, just outside the corporate
limits of Rutland village, is one of the notable residences of this beautiful
town. Mrs. Dorr is too well known as an authoress, to require special men-
tion here. She began to write at an early date, but had none of her pro-
ductions placed in print until the year 1848 ; since that time a number of her
poems have appeared in the best magazines of the day, and been widely
copied at home and abroad, while she has also given to the public several
novels and a choice edition of her poems, all of which have been very suc-
cessful, winning for her, and with justice, the soubriquet of " Vermont's
Poetess."
Ruth Field, widow of Nathaniel, now 97 years of age, resides with her
son, Wm. M. Field, corner Centre and Main streets, and displays an unusual
degree of vigor for one of that age.
WiUiam, father of Dr. George H. Fox, of Rutland village, was an old
Revolutionary soldier, and settled in Clarendon, from Woodstock, Conn., in
1779, dying there February 17th, 1822. Dr. Fox traces the genealogy of his
family back to John Fox of England, historian of the Martyrs, born in 15 17.
Silas Aiken, D. D., removed from Boston, where he had occupied the
pulpit of the Park St. Church for twelve years, and was settled over the
Congregational Church of Rutland in 1849, which position he retained until
he retired from the ministry in 1863. The high esteem in which he was
held is attested by the fact that upon his retirement the Congregational
Society presented him with a deed of the residence. No. 71 Main street, to
retain the benefit of his influence among them, and here two of his daughters
still reside.
About the commencement of the Revolutionary war a fort was erected at
East Rutland, about twenty feet north of the present Cheney store, on what
is known as the burnt district. It was oblong in form, about eight rods east*
and west, and ten rods north and south, made of pickets of maple, set five
feet in the ground and extending fourteen feet high, the sides of the pickets
touching each other and hewn smooth, the outside and inside unhewn. In-
side was a small building for ammunition and provisions, afterwards used as
a dwelling. As forts were soon after erected east and west of this, it became
of little use, and was gradually torn down and the pickets used for fuel.
Soon after the organization of the Government of Vermont, in March,
1778, it was decided to make Rutland the headquarters of the State troops,
and Gideon Brownson was appointed commander of the forces stationed
here. A fort was erected at Centre Rutland during the same year, located
on the hill east of Mead's (now Gookins) Falls, and named Fort Ranger. It
was elliptical in form, covering an area of two or more acres, and made of
unhewn hemlock logs or pickets, sunk in a trench five feet deep, rising fifteen
feet high, sharpened at the top and inclining outward, accommodating two

or three hundred troops. In the north-west part, a block-house, forty feet
square and two stories high, was built, the north and west sides forming a
part of the outside of the fort, and suppUed on all sides with port-holes. This
fort was used as the State headquarters, and from here the supplies were
furnished the other forts until 1781, when the headcpiarters were removed to
Castleton. At this time Centre Rutland contained, besides the fort, the first
meeting-house of the town, the tavern of John Hopson Johnson, built of
plank, on the site of the present store, and Mead's saw and grist mill, built
for Col. James Mead, by Benjamin Blanchard, who received 100 acres of
land for building the same, the land now being included in the farm of
Chalon Blanchard.
During the war of 1861 and 1865, the fair ground, located about a mile
south of the village, was used as a veteran reserve camp, and called Camp
Fairbanks, in honor of Governor Fairbanks, and the ist and 2d regiments,
mustered into service at Rutland, were camped here several weeks.
One of the first bridges of any importance erected in the town of Rutland
over Otter Creek was near Double Road Crossing, and built by a small
school district, the raising being completed on October i, 1795, ^^'^ ^^s
given the name of "Federal Bridge."
Rev. WiUiam Emerson, grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson, joined
the Revolutionary army as chaplain, from Concord, Mass., on the i6th of
August, 1776, and was at Ticonderoga under Gen. Gates, where he was at-
tacked with bihous fever and obliged to resign. On the i8th of September,
1776, he started on his journey home, and had proceeded as far as Rutland,
when his illness increased so much that he was obliged to stop, staying with
the Rev. Benjamin Roots, where he died on Sabbath morning, October 20th,
1776, in the 34th year of his age. He was buried the following day with
miUtary honors. In 1790 his son, William, disinterred the remains and
again buried them. A few years since, Ralph Waldo Emerson came to Rut-
land in search of the grave, but failed to identify it.
The first medical society ever organized in the State, held its first meeting
at the house of Joseph Munn, innholder, at Rutland, in August, 1795, at
which Dr. Ezekiel Porter was made chairman; Dr. Benjamin Walker, clerk;
Drs. Samuel Shaw, Daniel Reed and Benjamin Walker, censors. Messrs.
Enos Bell and Jonathan Shaw were examined by said censors and recom-
mended.
Churches.
T/ie First Congregational Church of West Rutland was re-organized under
its present name on the 13th day of March, 18 18. Soon after the division of
the town into parishes, the society had erected a church in West Rutland,
across the road from the present brick building, and south of the old burial
ground, which was given to the Church and congregation in a deed, dated
October 30th, 1787, by William Roberts, one of the founders of the society,

and in it, over his grave, is a marble slab bearing the following inscrip-
tion : —

Died November, 1788,
Aged about 70 Years.
A short time before his death Mr. Roberts
gave this ground to the Congre-
gational Society for a
burial place, and
his own body
was the first
here buried.
This Monument is erected by some
of the members of the Society
as a token of respect
to his memory.
The present house of worship was completed and dedicated on the 30th o
May, 1855, and is a large comfortable structure, capable of seating 600 per-
sons, and cost $18,000, about its present value including grounds. The
society now numbers 248 members, under the pastorate of Rev. John K.
Williams.
The Congregational Church of Rutland, the first religious society estab-
lished in the township, was organized on the 20th day of October, 1773, three
years after the settlement of the town, by a small company assembled at the
house of their first pastor, Rev. Benajah Roots, formerly pastor of the First
Church of Simsbury, Connecticut, and consisting of the following named
members :—Ebenezer Hopkins, Samuel Crippen, David Hawley, William
Roberts, Charles Brewster, Abraham Jackson, John Moses, Enos Ives, Joseph
Bowker, Jehiel Andrews, Sarah Bowker, Sarah Andrews, Anna Ives and Me-
hetabel Andrews. Mr. Roots remained with the society until his death, of
consumption, on the 15th day of March, 1787, in his 62d year. The first
house of worship was erected soon after the organization of the society, on
the west side of what was long known as "Meeting House Hill," at Center
Rutland, occupying the present site of Mr. George H. Seaman's residence.
This building was used by the society till the year 1787, when, on the 22d of
October, the town was divided into two parishes. East and West, the dividing
hne beginning at the center of the north Hne of the town, thence parallel
with the east and west lines till it strikes the Otter Creek, and thence up the
creek, as the stream runs, to the south line of the township, and in each parish
a Congregational Church organized, the Church in the East Parish being
established on the 5th of October, twelve days before the division of the town,
with thirty-seven members, and Rev. Samuel Williams, LL. D., as pastor ;
and subsequently the West Parish erected an edifice at West Rutland,
opposite the present brick structure, under the pastorate of Rev. Lemuel
Haynes.
TOWN OF RUTLAND.

The society of the East Parish, located at Rutland village, has erected
three churches — the first, a frame building, on the south-east corner of the
old burial-ground on Main street, near the residence of Moses Perkins, and
the second on the east side of the same street, upon the site now occupied by
the residence of Col. George Merrill. This edifice was built by Gershom
Cheney in 1819, costing in the neighborhood of $10,000, and was used by
the society until i860, when the present brick church on Court street was
erected, at a cost, including chapel, &c., of $54,017.54, and, together with the
grounds, is now valued at $75,000. Mr. WiUiams remained with the Church
as a "supply" until Rev. Heman Ball, D. D., was settled, in January of 1795.
The society is now in a flourishing condition, with 620 members, and a Sab-
bath school with 500 scholars, under the very able charge of Rev. James
Gibson Johnson, D. D.
The Baptist Church of Rutland, located on Center street, was organized
on the 25th of November, 1823, with fifteen members; Daniel Ford,
(The Baptist Church of Rutland. )
moderator, and Adonijah Ford, clerk. The first settled minister was the
Rev. Hadley Proctor, of China, Me., his pastorate commencing with the
opening of the year 1827, and continuing until 1834. In 1827 the first church
building was erected on Main street, which was used until 1871, when the
rapid growth of the village north and west of that parish, necessitated the
choice of a more central location. Accordingly, on the i8th of July, 1871,
the corner stone of the present structure on Center street was laid, with
becoming ceremonies, and on the evening of February i, 1872, the new

house was opened with appropriate services. It is a handsome brick struc-
ture, capable of accommodating 600 persons, and cost $43,000. The society
now has 380 members, with Rev. Judson K. Richardson as pastor, settled
May I, 1875.
Trinity Church, (Episcopal,) at Rutland, located on West street, was
organized on Wednesday, February 19, 1817, with Rev. George T. Chapman
as rector. The parish was without a house of worship until 1833, when a
building was erected on Main street, not far from the north side of West.
The corner-stone of the present beautiful stone structure was laid in 1878, by
the Right Rev. W. H. A. Bissell, D. D., Bishop of Vermont, and the church was
consecrated by the same, December 4th, 1879. The present rector, Rev.
Walter Mitchell, was elected on Easter, 1877.
The First Methodist E_f>iscopal Chjirc/i, located on West street, was origin-
ally organized at Centre Rutland, in 1831, with a membership of fifty-two.
In 1854 it was reorganized at Rutland village, by their first pastor. Rev.
John Parker, and consisted of only six members, — William A. Burnett and
wife, Mrs. Mary and Miss Jane Thrall, and Misses Jane and Lucy Dunklee.
Services were first held in the old depot, the preacher standing on the plat-
form and the people sitting in passenger coaches drawn up in front, and
subsequently in the third story of the old Perkins block, on Merchants' Row,
until the first church was erected in 1855-56, which was followed by the
present edifice in 1873, which cost $5,000 and will seat 800 persons. The
present site was donated by William J. Ripley, then a member at Centre
Rutland. After the first church at the east village was erected, the heirs of
Mr. Ripley bought the old Centre Rutland church, which they preserve as a
memento of respect to their parents. The society now has 305 members, a
sabbath-school numbering 325 scholars, and church property to the amount
of $18,000. Rev, John Wesley Quinlan is the present pastor.
,5"/. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, located at Rutland village, was organ-
ized by its first pastor, Rev. Father Druon, in 1855, with a membership of
500. During that year a church was erected, which was followed by the
building of the present elegant structure in 1873, of brick, with trimmings of
stone, erected at a cost of $57,000, with seating capacity for 1,300 persons.
Father Druon was succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. Chas. Boylan,
under whose efficient management the society has increased to 2,500 mem-
bers, with church property to the amount of $100,000. Under the direction
of the Church there are also six Catholic schools, with an average attendance
of 387, taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph.
The Second Advent Christian CJiurch, located on West street, was organ-
ized with forty-two members, by Miles Grant, in 1858, with Rev. Mathew
Batchelder as first pastor. During the following year the church building was
erected, a modest affair, costing $1,215.35. The society now has ninety
members, with no regular pastor.
Grace Protestant Episcopal Church of West Rutland was organized in
TOWN OF SHERBURNE. 229
1859, and Rev. D. Ellis Wills was the first pastor, the society now being
under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Edward P. Lee. The church building
was erected in 1878. Porter Howe, Esq., the senior warden of this parish,
is one of the oldest, if not the oldest Churchman in Vermont. He was
born in 1791, and was a member of the convention that elected Bishop
Hopkins in 1832.
The Church of The Sacred Heart of Mary, (French Catholic,) located on
Lincoln Ave., at Rutland village, was organized by its first pastor. Rev. Father

church at West Rutland, bearing the same name and organized the same
year, having 350 members, and a church building that will accommodate 300
persons and cost $3,000.00.
Convent.
The Convent of our Lady of Vermont, situated on West street, is an insti-
tution directed by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. They
came to Rutland in January, 1870, locating on Main street, where they re-
mained until June, 1874, when they removed to their present location, hav-
ing purchased the premises. Their course of study is the same as in the
Mother House, at Hochelaga, Montreal, and comprises the various branches
of a solid, useful and ornamental education.
|»HERBURNE is located in the eastern part of Rutland County, in lat.
^^ 43° 38', and long. 4° 15' east from Washington. In form it is nearly
W square, set diagonally, with its longest diagonal line pointing north and
south, and is thus bounded on the north-east by Stockbridge, and on the
south-east by Bridgewater in Windsor County, on the south-west by Mendon,
and on the north-west by Mendon and a small part of Chittenden. It was
chartered July 7, 1761, by Governor Benning Wentworth, of New Hamp-
shire, to Ezra Stiles and Benjamin Ellery, of Newport, R. I., under the name
of KiUington, and then contained 23,040 acres ; but that area has since been
increased by a portion of a tract of land called Parker's Gore, formerly lying
between Sherburne and Bridgewater, which was annexed November 4, 1822
so that the township now has an area of about 30,000 acres. In the year 1774
the township was surveyed by Simeon Stevens, and allotted in 70 shares, 65
shares to the proprietors and the usual reservation of five shares for public
purposes. Although settlement was begun as early as the year 1785, the
town was not organized until 1794, with Albro Anthony as first town clerk.
The surface is very mountainous and broken ; the highest peak, and next
to the highest in the State, is Mount KiUington, located in the western part,
on the line between this town and Mendon. The formation of Mount Kil-
TOWN OF SHERBURNE.
lington is mostly gneiss; the summit entirely barren and sterile, frowns down
upon the surrounding landscape from an altitude of 4,380 feet above the level
of the sea. It is distant about ten miles from Rutland village, from which is a
very pleasant drive, and in the sultry days of midsummer, its cool sides and sum-
mit attract many excursionists, the view of scenery it affords from above Mt.
Killington House being one of the grandest in the State. To the north of
Killington, and crowding close on its base, is another prominent mountain,
called Pico Peak. This elevation is thickly covered with a dense forest nearly
to its summit, which is 3,917 feet above tide-water.
The town is watered by several streams that have their sources among the
mountains ; the only one of any importance, however, is Quechee River,
which rises in the northern part of the town, traverses its whole length and
enters the town of Bridgewater on the south, having numerous small tribu-
taries, whereon are situated a number of good mill-sites. There are but few
good farms except those located in the valley of this river, where the soil is
an alluvial deposit and very rich, producing quite readily, wheat, barley, oats,
rye, buckwheat and Indian corn. Stock and dairt-farming, however, greatly
exceeds the grain-growing industry. Many fari-giers have neglected both, and
turned their attention to lumbering, which they consider more remunerative.
The town in most parts has heavy fo*»ests of beech, birch, maple, hemlock
and spruce, with some black and ^l^te ash. From the maple large quanti-
ties of sugar are manufactured, whioi forms quite an article of export.
The population of Sherburne in 1880 was 450; and it was divided into
seven school districts and had seven common schools, employing two male
and eight female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $539.52. There were
124 pupils attending common schools, and the entire cost of the schools for
the year ending October 31st, was $594.96, with MiUie A. Johnson as super-
intendent.
Sherburne, (p. o.) a small hamlet, located in the central part of the town-
ship, on Quechee River, contains one church, one hotel, one store, one black-
smith shop, one saw and grist mill, and about fifty inhabitants.
North Sherburne, (p. o.) a hamlet, located in the northern part of the
town, contains one blacksmith shop, one saw-mill, one steam saw and plan-
ing-mill, and several dweUings. These constitute the only settlements ap-
proaching anything like a village in the township.
Milo J. Moore's smv-miH, located on Quechee River, near road 17, was
built by J. P. and B. Wood in the year 1858. Mr. Moore employs six men
and manufactures $3,000 worth of chair-stock, 200,000 shingles and about
300,000 feet of lumber per annum.
Russell Madden' s chair-stock factory^ located on Quechee River, near road
17, was built by Mr. Madden in 1876. He employs four men and manufac-
tures twenty car loads of chair-stock per annum.

capacity for cutting 4,000 feet of lumber per day. ^
D. M. White 6^ Go's saw-mill was built in 1880, and now operated by
Reuben Ranger of Mendon, who employs twenty-five men and manufac-
tures 10,000 feet of lumber per day.
Lewis A. Willarcrs saw-mill, located on Thundering Brook, was built by
him in 1873. Mr. WillAl manufactures 25,000 feet of clapboards and
50,000 feet of lumber peS^eek.
Isaac A. Morse's saw and planing mill, located at North Sherburne, was
built in 1874, and enlarged and steam-power added in 1880, so the mill now
has the capacity for cutting io,dlpo feet of lumber per day.
A. D. EstabrooUs saw and shingle-mill, located at North Sherburne, was
erected in 1873, with facihties for eutting 6,000 feet of lumber and manufac-
turing 10,000 shingles per day.
The settlement of Sherburne is said to have been commenced by Isaiah
Washburn in 1785. At the organization of the town, in 1794, the meeting
was held at the house of Nathan Eddy, inn-holder, when the following offi-
cers were chosen : — Albro Anthony, town-clerk ; John Anthony, Nathan
Eddy, Sr., and Seth Fuller, selectmen ; Samuel Anthony, Amasa Fuller anc
Richard Estabrook, Usters, and Nathaniel Eddy, grand juror.
The first marriage recorded is that of Nathan Eddy, Jr., and Rebec(
Safford, October 28th, 1794. The first birth recorded is that of Luth(
son of Asa and Briggs, some time in the year 1790. Asa settle(
an early date in what is known as Sherburne Hollow, when bears were nui
ous. It is related of him, that while upon west mountain one day, in
fall of the year, he caught a cub or young bear in his hands. He was clo^ly
pursued by the mother, and defended himself with a club. He would drive
Bruin up a tree, and then run with the cub, until he would again have to
defend himself from the attack of his pursuer. Being a tall, powerful man
he succeeded in bringing home the cub. It was domesticated sufficiently to
be admitted to the kitchen. When he sought winter quarters, he crawled
into a large trough, hewed out of a log that stood partly in a temporary shed.
The storms of winter came, his bed was covered with snow and ice, and he
was completely frozen in. During the winter Mr. Briggs had visitors that
wished to see the occupant of the trough in the wood-shed. He succeeded in
removing him from his icy bed, and carried him into the house and warmed
him by the fire. His bearship walked about the house, but was very cross
at being disturbed in the midst of his winter's slumber, and returned to his
resting place to await the return of spring. Bears have always been peculi-
arly abundant in Sherburne, there being quite a number found there at the
present time. Elisha Colton, son of Silas Colton, who was one of the first
settlers, has resided in the town about sixty-five years, and during that time
has killed 100, three of them during the past year.

233 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY.
The first hotel in the township was built by Josiah Wood in 1825 ; the
house is located on road 16, and is at present occu[)ied by George A. Petty.
Park Wood, son of Josiah, was a graduate of Union College; he studied
law. and engaged in practice in Pekin, 111. In January, 1832, he com-
menced a journey from that place to Chicago on horseback. When about
forty miles west of Chicago, in crossing Fox River on the ice, his horse
broke through, and they both struggled for a time in the water, but succeeded
in reaching the shore, when the man crept to a tree and leaned against it.
This account was given some days after by an Indian to the Indian agent,
who immediately sent a person to the place, and it was found he had died
there, his name being learned by papers found upon his person. He was a
man of fine talent, and promised to be a useful member of society and a
blessing to the world. The first store was built in 1835 by Rufus Richard-
son, and kept by Charter Baxter and Asa Gaines. John Anthony was the
first Representative from the town. On the 4th day of December, 1798, an
election was held at the house of Asa Briggs to elect a representative, at
which six votes were cast for Samuel Williams, Esq.
During the late war of '61 and '65, Sherburne furnished seventy soldiers,
seventeen of whom did not live to see the war closed. She paid $13,500 in
bounties to her soldiers, raising the larger part of the money by taxation, at
the time it was used, leaving the town comparatively free from debt.
The Union Church, located at Sherburne village, was organized by Noah
Johnson in 1840. Mr. Johnson was the first settled minister in the town, and
organized the Church as a union institution, with about twenty-five members.
This number has since increased to fifty, with no regular pastor at present.
The building is a modest aftair, erected in 1840, at a cost of about $1,000,
raised by subscription. It will comfortably seat about 200 persons, and in-
cluding the whole church property, is now valued at $1,000.
^^HREWSBURY is located in the eastern part of the county in lat. 43°
^^ 31' and long. 4° 11' east from Washington, bordering on the west the
W town of Clarendon, while Mendon lies to the north, Plymouth, Windsor
County, on the east, and Mount Holly and Wallingford on the south. The
township contains an area of 25,392 acres, lying mostly on the Green
Mountain range, which is here quite elevated. Shrewsbury peak, lying in
the north-eastern part, near Mendon, being 4,000 feet above tide water, is one
of the highest peaks in the Green Mountain range. Round Hill, in the
north-western part, is also a high elevation.
The country is well watered by numerous streams that have their sources
among the mountains. Mill RiVer, the most considerable, flows a north-
westerly course through the south-west part of the town, and contains
numerous mill privileges, of which there are many that are not occupied.

north-westerly course, its waters being discharged into Otter Creek, in Claren-
don. Roaring Brook, one of the head tributaries of Black River, rises in the
north-eastern part of the town, flows an easterly course and empties into
Black River in Plymouth. Gould Brook heads on Shrewsbury Peak, Hows
westerly and empties into Cold River. Near the mouth of Gould Brook is a
mineral spring called " Sulphur Spring," the waters of which have been used
for medicinal purposes. There are two considerable ponds in the south part
of the town — Ashley's and Peal's, and another near the Willard Johnson
farm, which was once bought by a Rutland company for the purpose of dig-
ging peat for fuel. There never was much done at it however. Spring
Lake, formerly called Shrewsbury Pond, is situated in the south-west part of
the town, several hundred feet above Mill River, and is one mile in length
by a half mile in width, abounds in trout and has no visible inlet.
The principal rocks of the town are those peculiar to the Green Mountain
range. In the southern part is found a considerable de[)osit of copperas, at
a point called Copperas Hill. In 1828 it was purchased of Calvin Robinson,
of Cuttingsville, by a company chartered as the "Green Mountain Manufac-
turing Co." conducted by Jeremiah Dow. The company employed some thirty
men and made nine tons of copperas daily ; the works have long since been
abandoned, though great quantities of copperas still remain in the mine.
The soil is a very fertile, Hght loam, well adapted to grass, wheat, oats and
potatoes, affording facilities for a great dairy town, "Shrewsbury butter"
being noted for its excellent quaUty throughout the State. Lumber is quite
an article of export, the timber being mostly beech, birch, maple, hemlock
and spruce, with some balsam and black ash, large quantities of sugar being
manufactured from the maple. There is but little fruit grown.
Shrewsbury was chartered September 4, 1761, by Benning Wentworth,
Governor of New Hampshire, to Samuel Ashley and sixty-three others, only
one of the original proprietors ever settling in the town. It was not or-
ganized until March 20, 1781, and still retains its original limits, except one
square mile taken from the town of Plymouth, Windsor County, and annexed
to Shrewsbury, October 21, 1823. At the first town meeting, held March 20,
1 78 1, the following officers were chosen : Lemuel White, moderator; Aaron
Esty, town clerk ; Lemuel White, Samuel Benton and Nehemiah Smith,
selectmen; Benedict Webber, town treasurer; Zebediah Green, constable
and collector, and Samuel Benton, Joseph Randall and WiUiam Smith,
listers ; Samuel Benton, grand juror.
The Central Vermont Railroad passes through the south-western part of
the town, affording the township good facilities for transportation. The
population of Shrewsbury, in 1880 was 1,235, of which all but one family
were whites. During the year ending October 31, 1880, the town had four-
teen school districts, employing four male and seventeen female teachers,
whose united salaries amounted to $1,404.55. The number of pupils attend-
ing school during the year was 316, and the entire cost of the schools was
$1,642.82, with Geo. Rustedt superintendent of public schools.
234 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY.
Cui riNGSviLU.E, a post village and station on the Central Vermont Rail-
road, lies in the south-west part of the town, about nine miles distant from
Rutland. Mill River runs through the village, which contains about twenty
dwellings, one church, one hotel, two stores, one grist and saw-mill, two
blacksmith shops, one harness shop, one shoe shop, two milliners' and one
dressmaker's shops.
In a small unpretentious rural graveyard, located in this village, there has
been erected a Grecian tomb which is one of the marvels of its class on this
continent ; a gem, that will continue to delight the hearts of lovers of the
beautiful through countless ages, and imperishable as the rock-ribbed hills
that form its setting. " Laurel Glen Mausoleum " was begun in July of
1880, at the order of Mr. John P. Bowman, a wealthy resident of Creek
Centre, New York, a native of Clarendon, Vermont, in memory of his wife
and two daughters, of whom he has been bereaved by sudden and repeated
strokes, and for over a year, 125 men, sculptors, granite and marble cutters,
masons and laborers, were employed in erecting it in all its classic details,
until it stands complete to-day, the only monument of pure Grecian archi-
tecture in the country. Its dimensions externally at base are seventeen feet
six inches by twenty-four feet, and twenty feet high from grade line to apex
of roof. There have been 750 tons of granite. 50 tons of marble and 20,000
bricks used in its construction, which together with improvements upon its
surroundings has cost the owner $75,000.00. In general exterior it has the
appearance of a miniature Grecian temple, composed of massive blocks of
granite, the roof alone weighing forty tons ; while its interior is that of a
grand mausoleum vestibule, sheltering the vault that contains the cherished
dead. The inside door is a mighty granite monoUth of 6,500 pounds weight,
yet equilibrated with such nicety that it may be noiselessly turned upon its
hinges by a touch of the finger.
The whole exterior, except the floors which are of English Encaustic Tiles,
is of the choicest statuary and Brocadilla marble, the wainscotting, columns
&c., highly polished and deeply wrought with emblems and tracery of the most
elaborate character. At a point opposite the entrance, solid plate-glass mir-
rors have been set in such a manner as to produce the most dazzling optical
illusion, taking up and reflecting almost to infinity in all directions the statues
and carved work, until the observer standing within the space seems to be in
the center of a vast area thronged with the choicest effects of sculptured
architecture. The only external statue is one in life size of Mr. Bowman,
represented in the act of ascending the broad steps, key in hand, to open the
shelter of the "couch of dreamless sleep," where rests his cherished dead,
bearing in his hand a wreath of immortelles, his mantle thrown over his arm,
a graceful drapery falling in the negligee of sorrow, forming a whole that tells
its own silent tale of grief and sadness. Previous to the erection of this gem
of mortuary art, the little rural burial-ground where it is located had nothing
to distinguish it from others of its class ; but now, in point of beauty, it vies

with the more pretentious " cities of the dead " located in the midst of more
populous communities. The whole ground has been graded and laid out in
beautiful grass plats, decked with rare Howers and furnished with smooth
gravel walks, and the whole fronted by a granite wall of broken ashler ma-
sonry, the paneled posts terminated with beautifully cut vases of solid granite
for the reception of flowers, while several hundred yards back of the cemetery,
high up on the hill, has been built a reservoir, fed by a small brook, that
furnishes water for a beautiful fountain. Taken all in all, Mr. Bowman has
called into existence such a rare scene of loveUness, that long after he has
" gone down to the dust from whence he sprung," Laurel Glen Mausoleum
will preserve fresh and green the memory of his name.
Shrewsbury (p. o.,) a hamlet situated near the centre of the town, con-
tains one church, a post-office, one blacksmith shop, one cheese-factory and
nine dwellings.
North Shrewsbury (p. o.,) a hamlet, situated a little east of the central
part of the town, contains one church, one store, one blacksmith shop, the
steam-mill of N. J. Aldrich & Co., and about a dozen dwellings.
iV; ,/. Aldrich &= Co.'s mill is run by a 30 horse-power engine, and uses
one circular saw for cutting lumber, three gigger, or band-saws for cutting
chair stock and four other small saws, for cutting lath, &c. The Company
employs about fifteen men, who cut from 800^000 to 1,500,000 feet of lumber,
and stock for 123,000 chairs, annually.
R. P. Burdetfs steam-mill is situated in the northern part of the town, on
Cold River. It is run by a 75 horse-power engine, uses one circular-saw for
lumber, two gigger or band-saws, and two gauge lathes. It employs twelve
men, and cuts 3,000,000 feet of lumber per year, and manufactures a car-
load of chair-stock weekly.
D. M. White &> Co.'s steam mill, in the north part of the town, is en-
gaged in the manufacture of nail-keg staves, under the management of Pom-
eroy & Sipple, who employ eight men, and manufacture staves for 1,000 nail
kegs daily.
The Bates Cheese Factory, owned by James Huntoon, and operated by
W. E. Aldrich, receives the milk of 250 cows, manufacturing therefrom 40,000
lbs. of cheese per annum.
The Gilson Cheese Factory, located at Shrewsbury, receives the milk of
400 cows, and manufactures 112,000 lbs. of cheese per annum.
North Shrewsbury Cheese Factojy, owned and operated by W. E. Aldrich,
receives the milk of 300 cows, from which is manufactured 50,000 lbs. of
cheese per annum.
Lyman Russell's saiv mill, located in the southern part of the town, is
operated by water power, has one circular saw, and cuts 500,000 feet of
lumber yearly.
Capt. Lemuel White was the first settler in Shrewsbury, coming thither
from Rockingham, Vt., in the year 1777, settHng on the farm now owned by
236 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY.
Willard Smith, where he cleared the first land and built the first house in
the town. It was in this house that the charter meeting of the town was
held, March 20, 1781, at which Mr. White was chosen moderator, four years
after his settlement. On the 23d of July, 1778, Lemuel was married to
Zilpha Bowdish, the first marriage ceremony that occurred, and was per-
formed by Joseph Bowker, a justice of the peace. As a fruit of this marriage,
there was born to them a daughter, Anna, on the 15th of August, 1779, being
the first birth that occurred in the town. Lemuel was also captain of the
first militia and first representative of the town, a man possessed of much
shrewd, common sense, although he could neither read nor write. The
following anecdote, which is related of him, may perhaps give some insight
into his character : — "Farming tools were not so plenty in those days but
that people had to borrow from one another. A Mr. Aldrich sent to borrow
Capt. White's harrow. Capt. White returned word that if Mr. Aldrich would
bring his land there he might use his harrow." He died of the great epi-
demic of March. 1813, and many of his descendants still reside in Shrewsbury
and vicinity.
The first male child born in the town was Jonathan Smith, born May 4,
1780. The first grist mill was located on the farm now owned by Webb
Sinclair, and was swept away by a freshet in July of the year 181 1.
Nehemiah Smith and his sons, Nathan, William and Job, came to this
town from Rhode Island, in 1780, settling upon the farm now owned by
Willard Smith, where they used the shelter of a large projecting rock as a
sleeping chamber, until they had erected a log house. Until they had made
a clearing large enough whereon to raise some grain, they had no means of
subsistence except by manufacturing potash and burning charcoal, which was
carried to Troy on horseback, a distance of seventy-five miles, and there ex-
changed for grain, Troy being the nearest point that such goods were sal-
able.
Ziba Aldrich settled in Shrewsbury, also during this year, (1780,) locating
on Mill River, near the farm now owned by Amos Pratt. Mr. Aldrich was
born in Mendon, Mass., in 1753, and while quite young moved with his
parents to Richmond, N. H., where he was subsequently married, and with
his wife and two children emigrated to this place. His was the fourth
family that moved to the town, and consequently participated in all the
vicissitudes that occurred to its early inhabitants, and through it all, Mr.
Aldrich, by his manly christian life, gained the confidence of the entire
community, which he retained until his death, July 23d, 1840, at the advanced
age of 87 years.
Jeffrey A. Barney came to the town in 1780, from Richmond, N. H., set-
thngon Mill River, upon the farm now owned by David Waterman. On their
journey thither from New Hampshire, Mrs. Barney traveled on horseback,
while Jeffrey walked the whole distance, driving two cows. They had been
here but a few weeks, when, it is related the cows strayed off into the forest

and in the evening at the usual time for them to return, were not to be
found. So, early on the following morning, Jeffrey, taking his dinner with
him, started off in search of them. He tracked them through the forest a
distance of forty miles, and at last found them near the source of Black
River. During the tramp through the forest, Mr. Barney lost his dinner, so
had nothing to eat until he had returned on his journey as far as the " Port
Wine Tavern " in Cavendish, a distance of twenty miles. Thus Mr. Barney
had a walk of sixty miles with no refreshments.
Benedict Webber's was the fifth family that moved to the town, settling
here in 1780. Mr. Webber's mother, widow of WiUiam, died on the 9th of
April, 1782, the first death that occurred in the town. Mrs. Webber's death
was a sad one, she having accidently fallen into the broad fire-place, and
before she could be rescued, was burned so badly that she expired a few
hours afterwards.
John Kilburn, a surveyor, came from Walpole, N. H., settling in Shrews-
bury in 1785, where he was elected town clerk in 1789, which oftice he con-
tinued to hold for forty consecutive years. In 1836, he removed to Canton,
St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., where he died at an advanced age, mourned and
respected by all. At the annual town-meeting, held at Shrewsbury in March,
1878, it was voted that a set of marble head-stones be furnished Mr. Kilburn's
grave in Canton, at the expense of the town of Shrewsbury, as a token of
respect and in memory cf his long life among them. The stones were
manutactured and sent to Canton the same year.
Nathan Phinney was also one of the earliest settlers in the town, and for a
long time kept the first tavern, located on the farm now owned by Amos
Pratt. At one time a band of smugglers was chased by the officers from
Rutland to the Phinney tavern. The smugglers had a sleigh-load of fine
goods which they had smuggled from Canada, which, just before they reached
the Phinney stand, they threw over a high embankment. When the officers
caught them at Phinney's, they of course could find no trace of smuggled
goods, so were obliged, though reluctantly, to give up the search and return
to Rutland. After they had left, the smugglers gathered up the contraband
property and proceeded with it to Boston, where it brought a good round
price.
Nathan Russell settled on the farm now owned by William Russell, in
1786, coming from Barry, Mass. Mr. Russell lived alone in his log-cabin
three years before he was married, having to carry his grain to Woodstock
on horseback, a distance of twenty-two miles, this being the nearest grist-
mill. He died in 1856, at the advanced age of 93 years, leaving eighteen
children to mourn his loss.
Uriah Cook, a hero of the Revolution, came to Shrewsbury from Rich-
mond, Mass., in 1780, settling on the farm now owned by his son Hiram.
David Hold en came to this town from Barry, Mass., at an early date,
settling on the farm now owned by S. F. Smith.
238 TOWN OF SHREWSBURY,
Willard Colburn came from Dedham, Mass., in 1790, and located on the
farm now owned by his great grandson, David C. Colburn.
Phileman Adams came in 1792 from Medway, Mass., and purchased the
farm now owned by Perin Johnson, which is the second farm that was cleared
in the town.
Benjamin Needham was among the early settlers of the town, coming from
Billerica, Mass. Mr. Needham was in the army all through the war of the
Revolution, and his sons Benjamin and Joseph, and a grandson, Benjamin,
were in the war of 1812. His grandson, Horace, died while engaged in the
war with Mexico, and his three great grandsons, Benjamin, Joseph and
Horace, were all engaged in the late war of 1861, Horace being killed in
action at Richmond, Va.
Among the early settlers there are also found the names of Job Buckmas-
ter, Martin Dawson, Abram Gibson, Ephriam Pierce and Moses Colburn.
Jacob Guild, of VValpole, N. H., and Esquire Morse, of Medway, Mass.,
came on foot through the wilderness and commenced a clearing in the north-
east part of the town, on the land now owned by N. J. Aldrich & Co., in the
year 1795. After working together for a time Mr. Guild, in felling a tree,
nearly killed Mr. Morse in its fall. This aroused a suspicion in the mind of
Morse that Guild wished to get rid of him ; so they divided their land, each
hving on his own part, Mr. Guild died March i, 1839, aged 53 years. Mr.
Morse died May 14, 1846, aged 71 years.
PhiHp Billings, from Sunderlin, Mass., came to Shrewsbury in October of
1783, locating upon the farm now owned by Enoch Smith, of Clarendon.
Mr. Billings was an old Revolutionary soldier and resided in the town until
his death, in October, 1808. The house built by him, in 1794, is still stand-
ing in a state of good preservation. He had a family of three children,
Jonathan, David and Lovisa. Frankhn, son of David, born April 19, 1807,
is now a resident of Rutland, at the age of 74.
Among the natives of Shrewsbury, who have become men of note in other
localities, may be mentioned the names of Austin P. and Clark W. Story,
sons of J. B. Story, of Cuttingsville, who are now prominent men of Chilli-
cothe, Ohio. Austin P. is president of the Ross County Bank ; also an ex-
tensive farmer and tanner, and one of the leading men of the place. Clark
W. is one of the wide-awake business men of the place, now doing the
largest dry goods and carpet business in that county.
The first school-house in town was built in the woods, near Willard Smith's,
made of logs, the site still being used for the same purpose. Capt. John
Kilburn kept the first school. The first resident clergyman of the town was
Rev. Moses Winchester, who was born in Westmoreland, N. H., March i,
1798. He came to Shrewsbury when he was 18 years of age and com-
menced to preach the Christian theology. He did not have a theological
education, but was a very devoted christian and an earnest preacher. He
was the first installed minister over a church in town, and drew the minis-

terial land. He was very much loved by the people, although a little
pecuHar in some things. At one time he went to a neighbor's for a visit.
When they came to sit down to tea, the lady said that she "had nothing fit
to eat." He told her if she had nothing fit to eat that he would not eat any-
thing; so he got up from the table and went without his supper. He died
March 6, 1868, aged "three score years and ten."
The first church built in town was the Uiiivenalist Church at Shrewsbury
village, erected in 1804. The Universalist church society was organized by
John Kilburn, Jr., in 1807, with thirty-two members. The society now num-
bers only about twenty-five, with Rev. Geo. S. Gurnsey as pastor.
The First Christian Church, located at North Shrewsbury, was organized
Nov. 9, 1822, by a council composed of Pearl Parker, Jonah Aldrich and
forty-two others. Rev. Noah Johnson was the first pastor. The society now
numbers about twenty-five members, and has no regular pastor. The house
of worship was not erected until 1S41, and is valued, including grounds, at
about $1,000.00. The house will comfortably seat 300 persons.
The Union Church, located at Cuttingsville, was originally organized in
1842 by the Congregational and Baptist societies, few in numbers, yet brave
in action. They struggled to maintain the church until depleted by death
and removals, they could no longer sustain religious worship. At this crisis
in 1859, th^ trustees gave the Methodist Society permission to occupy the
church, and it was reorganized as a Methodist church, although the it^- who
were interested in rehgious work of all evangelical denominations joined hands
in the good work. The building was erected in 1842, with Rev. M. A.
Wicker ^s pastor. Rev. J. E. Knapp is the present pastor, with a member-
ship of about twenty. The building is valued at about $1,000.00, will
comfortably seat 250 persons, and is still owned by the Baptist and Congre-
gational Association of Vermont.
The Second Advent Church, located at North Shrewsbury, was organized by
its first pastor. Rev. W. I. Blanchard, with eight members, on the 8th of
April, 1878. The society now numbers thirteen members, who hold their
meetings in the Christian church, with Rev. W. O. Bibbins acting pastor.
SkUDBURY is located in the north-west corner of the County in lat.
^^ 43° 47' and long. 3° 54' east from Washington, and is bounded north
^^ by Whiting in Addison County, east by Benson, south by Hubbardton,
and west by Orwell in Addison County. (Orwell formerly belonged to
Rutland County, but was annexed to Addison by an Act of the Legislature
November 13, 1847.) It was chartered August 6, 1761, by Benning Went-
worth of New Hampshire, and contained 13,426 acres. Just at what date
the township was organized, we are unable to state. The first records of
any town-meeting dates back to January 15, 1789, at which John Hall was
chosen moderator ; but this was not the first meeting held, for some pages
in the fore part of the book of records are missing.
240 TOWN OF SUDBURY.
The surface is broken and uneven ; a high ridge of hills extending through
the township from north to south forms the watershed of the country, dis-
charging the streams of the eastern part into Otter Creek, while those in the
western section find their way into Lake Champlain. There is much good
farming land in the town, situated westerly in the valleys of the several
streams; while the hillsides afford pasturage for numerous herds of sheep
and cattle, forming the principal wealth of the people. The soil is mostly a
rich loam, producing wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat, Indian corn, potatoes and
hay. The land is irrigated by numerous streams, but none except Otter
Creek of any considerable size. This stream enters the township at the
north-east corner, and traverses about one-half the eastern part of the town^
where it enters Brandon. Several very handsome little ponds lie distributed
over the surface of the country, which, as they lie nestled among the hills,
lend a charm and beauty to the scenery of the town that has become pro-
verbial, and which attracts hundreds each summer from the crowded cities
to these healthful hills. Lake Hortonia in the south-west part of the town,
extending into Hubbardton, is the largest sheet, being about two miles in
length by a half in width. Of the others. High and Burr ponds in the south
part, and Huff Pond in the central, are the largest. The timber is prin-
cipally pine, beech and maple.
In 1880, Sudbury had a population of 562, and was divided into five
school districts and contained five common schools, employing three male
and seven female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $623.00. There were
155 pupils attending common school, and the total amount expended for
schools during the year ending October 31st, was $694.87. Mr. W. J.
Sawyer was school superintendent.
Sudbury, (p. o.) a small hamlet located in the western part of the town,
contains one hotel, one church, one store and about fifteen dweUings.
Burr's saw mill, located in the south part of the town, is the only saw mill
in the township. It is situated on the outlet of Burr Pond, and has the same
frame that was built seventy-two years ago, which is in good condition yet.
Roger Burr settled here in 1784, the farm now being occupied by his son,
Asahel Burr. He was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, where he
served three years ; he was a very enterprising man, and took an active part
in building the first church in town in 1807. The timber was mostly cut on
his land and sawed at his mill. When he came here there was no house in
the township south of the present hamlet of Sudbury, and the surface was
covered with a dense wilderness. He built a small camp, where he resided
until he could build a log house. Wild animals were numerous, and for a
long time he could scarcely keep any sheep on account of the wolves. Mr.
Burr died in December, 1837, at an advanced age. His son, Roger, still
retains the old homestead and mill, and although 87 years of age, he still
retains his mental faculties wonderfully well. He was present at the battle
of Plattsburgh, which occurred when he was 2 1 years of age.
TOWN OF SUDBURY. 24 1
The first hotel in town was kept by Mills, and was located on the
present site of the Hyde Hotel, about one mile south of Sudbury hamlet, and
was sold to Mr. Pitt W. Hyde by Mills, in 1801. Mr. Hyde immediately
made improvements, and it soon became, and still is, one of the most popu-
lar summer resorts in New England. It is located in a beautiful valley, and
is 80x150 feet and five stories high, containing about ninety sleeping apart-
ments, with a dining-room capable of seating at family tables, 200 guests,
is supplied with all modern improvements, and has connected with it two
cottages. A three- story building, 46x60 feet, the lower floor of which is to be
used as a concert hall or opera house, furnished with a very fine stage 35x1 5 feet
in dimensions, has been erected this season (1881.) The hotel is open from
May until November, during which time it is thronged with guests. The
Hyde family figured conspicuously in the early history of the town ; Pitt W.
Hyde, fifth son of Capt. Jedediah Hyde, was born in Norwich, Conn., and
settled in Sudbury in 1801. He was the father of James K. Hyde, who
succeeded him in the proprietorship of the hotel. James, for many years
one of the most popular hotel keepers in the State, was judge of the county
court, and held many other responsible positions. Pitt W. died at the age
of 45 years. Hon. James K. Hyde died of typhoid pneumonia, Sept. 21,
1870, aged 68 years. His son, A. W. Hyde, is the present proprietor of the
hotel. Thomas W. Hyde came to Sudbury in 1808, from Mapletown, N.Y.,
settHng on road 28, just north of the Hyde Hotel, on the farm now owned
by Rodney Barber. He was justice of the peace many years, also selectman,
and held other responsible positions in the township. His son, WiUiam P.
Hyde, aged 67, is still a resident of the town. Thomas W. died February
32, 1865, in the 91st year of his age.
A number of settlements had been made in the town previous to the war
of the Revolution, but at the breaking out of this war, the town was deserted,
and so remained until after peace was declared, when the settlers began to
return again.
Benoni Griffin came to Vermont from Simsbury, Conn., stopping a few
years in Castleton, from whence he removed to Sudbury in 1799, settling on
the farm now owned by his son Benoni, Jr. The old house which Mr, Grifiin
built about 80 years ago, is still standing. There was also a house on the
place when Mr. Griffin bought it, which was built some years previous, by
Andrew Gates who owned several hundred acres of land in this vicinity. Mr.
Griffin had no political aspirations, but was valued by his neighbors for his
sound judgment and good sense, being often called upon by them to apprize
property, as cattle and grain were here a legal tender at that time. Mr.
Griffin was twice married, and by his second wife had five children, none of
whom now reside in the township, except Benoni, Jr., who is the present
town Representative, and has been a popular man in town for many years.
The old Military Road enters Sudbury in the south-east part of the town,
traversing it in a north-westerly direction, and passes out again at the north-

west corner. It was over this road that the munitions of war were carried
from Bennington to Ticonderoga in the Revolutionary times, and it was after-
wards used by the settlers before other roads were laid out, the " old turn-
pike" not being built until many years after. Near this road, on the farm of
Mr. Griffin is a famous spring of clear cold water, called "Cold Spring." It
is related that on one occasion a party of Indians were passing through the
the town with two prisoners, one of them a very large, and the other a very
small man. The larger one was afflicted with a very sore foot, upon which
his red captors, out of pure malice, would jump and stamp. This so exas-
perated his small companion, that he warned them in no very choice language
that it would not be well for them to attempt the same experiment with him ;
at this, one of them stung by his taunts attempted it, and was immediately
knocked down by the plucky little fellow. This act was loudly applauded by
the discomfited Indian's companions, and the prisoner was molested no more.
They soon after arrived at Cold Spring, and while several of them were stooped
down to drink, the small man suddenly picked up a dog belonging to the
Indians, and from an eminence of several feet, hurled it down upon their
heads. For these acts of bravery he was much petted by the Indians, and
finally allowed his Hberty. A little south of the spring there was once an
Indian camp, where many Indian relics have since been found, arrow heads,
finished and unfinished, stone pestles for pounding corn, many of them decorated
with antique designs, stone images, etc. Cold Spring is also the site of an
encampment of the Continental army, many relics having been plowed up,
consisting of bayonets, ramrods, knives, and upon one occasion a large cop-
per camp-kettle. It is also related that many years ago, an old Revolutionary
soldier named Enos, journeyed hither from a distant part of the State, just
for the purpose of once more drinking from the old spring.
During the late war, Mr. Grifiin was a recruiting-officer for this town, the
enlisted men being assigned to different companies and regiments. One,
Alva Allen, from this town, suffered for a long time at Libby Prison, and
when at last released, his Hfe was despaired of by the physicians ; but he ulti-
mately recovered and is now a resident of the township.
Peter Reynolds was one of the early settlers, having come into the town
by the way of Otter Creek, traveling on the ice, and built a tent on the line
between Brandon and Sudbury, subsequently settling in Brandon ; but the
high water the next spring drove him out, and he crossed the creek on a raft
and settled in Sudbury, where he was justice of the peace many years, and
held several other town offices.
John C. Sawyer was born m Brandon, January 17, 1800. When he was
four years of age he was adopted by David Layton, of Sudbury, and has re-
sided in this town ever since. Mr. Layton, his foster father, settled on road
4, corner of 5, upon the farm originally settled by one David Smith. Mr.
Layton, dying without issue, the property reverted to Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Saw-
yer was twice married, having by his first wife, Lois Rhodes, of Stafford, Vt.,

one son, David Layton Sawyer. For his second wife he married the
widow of Charles Rhodes, of Sudbury, who was an uncle to Stephen A.
Douglass. David Layton operated a tannery, manufactured potash, and was
a hatter, located on road 4, a little north of the " Sawyer Stand," which was
at that time a place of some considerable note, it being the " half-way
house " from Brandon to Orwell, and a station on the old stage-road from
Vergennes to Whitehall, and from Rutland to Lake Champlain, all the goods
from the iron-works of Brandon and Pittsford being transported over it to the
Lake.
Thomas Ketcham, born February 8, 1748, died May 19, 1834, aged 86
years. He immigrated from Dutchess County, N. Y., to Sudbury at a very early
date in the history of the township, and was the father of twelve children.
Maj. Barnard Ketcham, son of Thomas, located on road i, corner road 2,
where he married a daughter of Aaron Jackson. The Major was one of the
most prominent men in the township, having held offices of various ranks,
both civil and miUtary, and at the time of his death was one of the most
wealthy men in the township. The descendants of Thomas Ketcham are
very numerous, and scattej-ed in various parts of the State and country.
Aaron Jackson was also one of the earhest settlers, havmg located on
road I. It is claimed he built the first frame house in town, the lumber
being rafted from Sutherland Falls to Miller's Bridge, in this town, from
whence it was conveyed through the wilderness, the way being traced by the
means of marked trees. He also had the first oven in town, wherein was
baked the first loaf of bread made from wheat grown in the township, and is
also accredited with manufacturing the first cheese. At the age of sixteen,
together with his father and a younger brother, he entered the Continental
army, being present at the battle of Bunker Hill, where he received a sun-
stroke, from which he never fully recovered. He died in Sudbury at the
early age of 44. John Jackson and Judge Joseph Warren were proprietors
of the first store kept in the town, which was located on the site of the pres-
ent store kept by N. F. Bucklin.
Capt. Pearse was an early settler, having located on the farm now owned
by M. H. Landon, his old log house having stood just back of where the
barn now stands. He also built the house now occupied by Smith Germond,
and is the one in which Pearse's death occurred.
Charles Young came from Athal, Mass., settfing in Sudbury about the
year 1805, upon the farm now owned by his son. Simeon Young located on
road ;^^, where he resided until his death, which occurred on December 30
1863, aged 75 years.
Timothy Miller came to Sudbury from Massachusetts in 1771, settling on
the land now owned by Andrew Steele ; but afterwards located at the west
end of what is now known as Miller's Bridge, where he built a log house in
which he resided three years, when the Indians became so troublesome he
was again obhged to move, and did not return until after the Revolution.
244 TOWN OF SUDBURY.
He was a very public spirited man, and was justice of the peace a number
of years, dying in 1825, aged 75 years.
Isaac HuiT, born in 1744, came to Sudbury from Nine Partners, N. Y., in
1790, and rented a place on road 22, where Steele's cider mill now stands,
at which place he remained one year. During that time he cleared enough
land on road 20, upon which to build a log house. In this house he dwelt
until 181 2, when he erected a frame house in the same vicinity, which is now
occupied by his grandsons, Benj. F. and John Huff. He died in 1821, aged
77 years, leaving six children as follows: — Israel, Lawrence, James and Elhs,
and two daughters, Susan and Rebecca, most of whom removed to the West.
James remained on the old homestead which is now occupied by his sons.
The old farm house has undergone no change of any account, and is now a
very comfortable structure. At the time Isaac came here there were no
roads in the township, he having to travel through the forest, finding his way
by means of marked trees. James Uved to the age of 73 years and 1 1
months, marrying for his first wife, Lucy Reynolds, unto whom was born one
daughter, (now Clark Morton's wife,) and three sons, Andrew J., Benj. F. and
John.
Gideon Morton was born in Orwell, Addison County, in 1789, and died in
Sudbury, April 2, 1870, aged 83. He purchased the farm now ov,?ned by
Solon Bresee, located on road 31, early in the present century, upon which
he resided until 1843, when he removed to road 20, where his son, Benjamin
L., now resides. Mr. M. was a physician by profession, and at his death left
three daughters and two sons.
Reuben Allen settled on road 25 at an early date, where he resided until
his death at an advanced age. At the time of the battle of Plattsburgh,
during the war of 181 2, although Reuben was much too old for mihtary duty,
he shouldered his gun and started for the scene of strife.
Dea. Eli Roys settled on road 19, where C. C. Selleck now resides, in
1790. He was a noted trapper and hunter, and once caught a wolf on the
spot where the Sudbury meeting-house now stands.
On the land owned by Marcellus Landon, there was a signal post estab-
lished in 1879, although no observations have yet been made. It is the
highest point of land in the township, and affords a magnificent view of the
surrounding country. From here can be seen Lake Champlain, Ticonderoga,
Crown Point, Fort Henry, Middlebury, Brandon, and the line of the Green
Mountains, as well as many other points of interest.
On road 25, near road 21, there is a cemetery beautifully located, where
are buried the remains of many of the early settlers, also containing a very
fine tomb, erected by Nathaniel Jackson. On the gravestones can be seen
the names of Benoni Grifiin, Elias Ketcham, Noah Merritt, Zebediah John-
son, Asahel, Joseph and Abijah Williams, and some of the Landons.
On the I St of April, 1881, about ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. James K.
Foster's house, located on road 5, corner of road 6, burned to the ground,

making the fifth time he had suffered in this manner during a period of seven
years.
In district No. 2, there was a brick building erected to be used both as a
church and school-house, being the first school building erected in the town-
ship. The upper part of the building was built at the expense of Barnard
Ketcham, David Layton and Enoch Smith, while the lower part was built by
the district.
The First Congregatiotial C/u/rc/i, located at Sudbury hamlet, was organ-
ized in 1803, and had for its first pastor Silas Persons. The church building
was erected in 1807, the land, consisting of about two acres, being donated
by ApoUos RoUo. The upper part is now used for church services, and the
lower part as a town hall. It is valued at about $1,500. The society has
no settled pastor at present.
m|INMOUTH lies in the southern part of the county, in lat. 43^ 27' and
"^^ long. 4'' 2' east from Washington, and is bounded north by Clarendon
w and Ira, east by Wallingford, south by Danby, and west by Wells and
Middletown. It was chartered by the Governor of New Hampshire, Sept.
15th, 1 76 1, to Joseph Hooker and others. The following is an extract copy
of the charter-deed, which we insert for the reason that it is about the form
used in chartering all the towns, and maybe an object of interest to many: —

The township was granted in seventy shares, with the following five shares
reserved : " One tract to contain 500 acres, marked on the map B. W., for
His Excellency, Benning Wentworth, Esq." One share for the incorporated
society for the "Propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts," one share for
a glebe for the Church of England, one share for the first settled min-
ister, and one share for the benefit of schools in said town. A part of the
township was taken oft" in forming Middletown in 1784, and a part given to
Wallingford in 1793, so that the township now contains only about 17,280
acres, or about three-fourths of its original area. Although the charter says
that the first town meeting shall be held in 1762, it was not obeyed, and the
town was not organized until March 8, 1774, at which meeting Charles
Brewster was chosen town clerk.
The surface of Tinmouth is rather broken and mountainous. Extending
across the whole length of the town from north to south, is a range of moun-
tains which forms a natural division into "East" and "West Town." In
the east part of the town this range is called West Mountain, while in the
western part it is called East Mountain. West of this range is a fertile val-
ley, affording fine farming and grazing land, while to the east of it Hes the
valley of the Tinmouth River, which is very fertile. This is the principal
stream of the town, rising in a little lakelet, called Tinmouth Pond, in the
south-eastern part of the township, and flows a northerly course through
Clarendon and unites with Otter Creek in Rutland. There are numerous
streams throughout the town that have their sources among the mountain-
springs, but none of them of much importance except to irrigate the soil.
In the east part of the town there are found considerable deposits of iron
ore and some good grades of marble, but they cannot be practically worked
on account of their distance from a railroad. There was a furnace located
here at one time for smelting the ore, but was abandoned in 1837.
The timber of the town is mostly beech, birch, maple and white ash, with
some spruce, cedar, etc. The soil is varied between slate, loam and cobble.
In the western part farming is the principal pursuit, while in the eastern
dairying exceeds the grain-growing interests. Nearly all the inhabitants are
in comfortable circumstances, and many wealthy; there being but very few
poor people in the town. Maple sugar and products of the dairy form the

principal exports. In 1880 Tinmouth had a population of 532, and was
divided into seven school districts and had six common schools, employing
four male and eleven female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $731.38.
There were 120 pupils attending common schools, and the total cost of the
schools for the year ending October 31st, was $806.29. Mr. Clark Norton
was superintendent.
Tinmouth (p. o.) is a hamlet, near the centre of the town, and contains one
store ; the mail leaving and returning by the way of Wallingford, three
times each week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
H. Clark's cheese factory, located in the south-west part of the town, on
road 33, was built in 1867. Mr. Clark employs two men, uses the milk from
200 cows, and manufactures 60.000 pounds of cheese per annum.
Union Cheese Factory, located in West Tinmouth, on road 13, is operated
by a stock company. They use the milk of 250 cows and manufacture
60,000 pounds of cheese per annum.
Packard's saiv and grist-mill is located near the centre of the town, on
road 19. The grist-mill has one run of stones, and the saw-mill one circular
saw, which cuts five to eight thousand feet of lumber per day. Mr. Packard
does mostly custom work in both mills.
Cold Spring Cheese Factory, located one-half mile east of the centre of
the town, on road 19, was organized in 1873 by a stock company, with
$2,450 capital. It uses the milk from 400 cows and manufactures 100,000
pounds of cheese per annum.
Hoadleys saw and grist-mill, located about one mile south of the centre
part of the town, on road 22, operates one run of stones and one saw, doing
only custom-work.
Maranville' s saw mill, located in the north-west part of the town, on road
II, is a custom-mill, and uses only one saw.
Eureka Cheese Factory, located in the north-east part of the town, on road
7, was built in 1875 by a stock company. It uses the milk of 230 cows and
manufactures 65,000 pounds of cheese per annum.
Valentine Cheese Factory, located in the eastern part of the town, owned
by Linus E. and Edmund Valentine, was built in 1875, ^^d uses the milk
from eighty cows.
Stinehour's saw and grist-mill, located near the centre of the town, owned
by Nelson Stinehour, has one run of stones and the capacity for cutting
2,000 to 3,000 feet of lumber per day.
JVest llnmoiith Cheese Factory, located in the south-western part of the
town, owned and operated by Elkanah Parris, uses the milk from 175 cows
per year.
Many of the first settlers of Tinmouth came from Salisbury, Conn. Just
at what date they came we are unable to state, but probably not long after
1 761, when the town was chartered. At the first settlement a number of fam-
ilies came simultaneously, so there is no particular family that can claim the
TOWN OF TINMOUTH, 249
honor of having the first inhabitant as an ancestor. Among these famiUes
were those of Charles Brewster, John Spofford, John McNeal, John Trim,
Samuel Chipman, James Adams and Benjamin Chandler. At the first town
meeting, John McNeal was chosen moderator ; Charles Brewster, clerk ; and
these two, with James Adams, selectmen. A short time after this, Ebenezer
Allen and Stephen Royce came into the town, and were subsequently ap-
pointed delegates from Tinmouth to the first convention that was assembled
to declare the New Hampshire Grants an independent State, and which was
held in Dorset, at the house of Cephas Kent, July 24, 1776. Ebenezer Allen
and Chas. Brewster were delegates to the convention that assembled at Windsor
in July, 1777, and adopted the Constitution of Vermont. About 1778, Ehhu
Clark, Jonathan Bell, Thomas Porter, Obadiah Noble, Samuel Mattocks
and Ebenezer Marvin moved into the town. Charles Brewster was the
first Representative sent to the Legislature. He was also appointed
a judge of the Special Court which was created for the Rutland
shire of Bennington County, before Rutland County was organized.
Col. John Spofford was a member of the convention that shaped the Consti
tution of the U. S. preparatory to admitting Vermont into the Union. Ben-
jamin Chandler was killed at the Battle of Bennington, the only one from
Tinmouth killed at that battle. On the 1 7th of February, 1777, the inhabitants
of Tinmouth held a meeting at which was "voted not to raise money towards
paying Seth Warner's regiment." This led to the following oath of allegiance
being imposed upon the town : —
"You each of you swear, by the Hving God, that you believe for your-
selves, that the King of Great Britain hath not any right to command, or
authority in or over the States of America, and that you do not hold your-
selves bound to yield any allegiance or obedience to him within the
same, and that you will, to the utmost of your power, maintain and defend
the freedom, independence and privileges of the United States of America,
against all open enemies, or traitors, or conspirators whatsoever; so help
you God."
In the same year John Irish was shot by the Revolutionary soldiers Elisha
Clark, John Train and Mr Cleff, he having been suspected by them of being
a Tory and spy. He was buried in the north-east part of the town.
At the surrender of Ticonderoga to the British, on the ist of July, 1777, a
greater part of the inhabitants of Tinmouth moved into ArHngton, Shafts-
bury and Bennington, and indeed to any place where they could find safety,
returning again, most of them, when Burgoyne left this section.
The first marriage that is recorded in the record of marriages is that of
Daniel Burr and Flora Warrenner, July 9, 1804. The first birth was that of
Hannah, daughter of Rachel and Solomon Bingham, born July 8, 1774. The
first death was that of an infant of Thomas and Peak, in 1770.
At the organization of Rutland County, in 1781, Tinmouth was selected
as the county seat, which dignity it retained until 1784 ; after this the courts
were held at Rutland. The first State treasury was also located here, at the
residence of the treasurer, Mr. Mattocks. The room used for this purpose

is twenty feet long and six feet wide, lighted by two windows. It is still in a
good state of preservation. The building is located in the north-east part of
the town, on road 7, and is now owned and occupied by Mr. J. H. Round.
Nathaniel Chipman was born in Salisbury, Conn., Nov. 15, 1752, and his
father removed to Tin mouth among the first settlers. Nathaniel was edu-
cated at New Haven, and admitted to the Bar in Connecticut some time
during March, 1779. He was married in March, 1781, and went immediately
into possession of his father's farm in Tin mouth, where he built a forge for
the manufacture of bar iron, but finally sold out to his brother, Darius, and
removed to Rutland, where he resided until 1803, when he rebought
the Tinmouth farm, where he resided until his death, Feb. 15, 1843. He
represented the town of Tinmouth in the Legislature eight years, was two
years judge of the District Court, six years judge of the Supreme Court of this
State, and six years a senator in Congress. Judge Chipman, as a jurist, was
not surpassed by any of his contemporaries. He lived to the age of 90, his
mind strong and vigorous to the last. On Oct. 3, 1873, a monument was
dedicated to his memory, furnished by the State of Vermont. The monu-
ment is 22 feet high from bottom of base to top of shaft, the base being of
white and the column of clouded marble. It stands on a commanding
eminence, about one-half mile east of the hamlet, and is surrounded by a
handsome iron fence. It bears the following inscription : —

At a town meeting held November 3d, 1779, it was "voted that the inhab-
itants of this town build a church, 30 feet wide, 50 feet long, and 9 feet high,
to be built of black spruce logs and covered with four-feet shingles, to be
completed by the first of June, 1780." This was accordingly done, and the
building subsequently followed by the present edifice, a comfortable structure,
capable of seating about 300 persons. In the early part of 1837 it was given
the name of Sf. Stephen's Church of Tinmouth, (Episcopal.) William Noble
was the first pastor, the church having very few members. It now has forty
members, with James L. Slason, pastor.
'ALLINGFORD is located in the south-eastern part of the county, in
"m^ lat. 43° 27', and long. 4° 8' east from Washington, and bounded north
w by Clarendon and Shrewsbury, east by Mt. Holly, south by Mt. Tabor
and Danby, and west by Tinmouth, containing an area of about 23,000 acres,
well watered by numerous streams, furnishing good mill-sites, and made pic-
turesque by several ponds or lakes distributed over its surface. The principal
stream is Otter Creek, which runs through the western part of the township,
from south to north. Mill River flows through the north-eastern part, and
Roaring Brook through nearly the whole width of the town from-east to west,
emptying into Otter Creek just west of the village of WaUingford. The
largest pond, or lake, lies in the south-eastern part of the town, on the moun-
tains, covering an area of about 350 acres, and called Lake Hiram, or Wal-
lingford Pond. About a mile and a half to the south-west of this is another,
covering about fifty acres, called Little Pond. Nearly opposite the village of
WaUingford, and west of the creek, is another beautiful little sheet of water,
covering about 100 acres, called Fox Pond. The whole town is peculiarly
rich and varied in scenery; in the eastern section the Green Mountains rise
in their grandeur, the highest ridge of which is here called " The White
Rocks." Another elevation, near the centre of the town, and which is sepa-
rate from the mountains, is called " Green Hill," and covers a large area,
composed of quartz rock, cropping out frequently in ledges. At the foot of
White Rock an ice-bed forms among the broken rocks, which remains during
the entire summer.
WaUingford was chartered by New Hampshire, November 27, 1761; the
proprietors also obtaining a charter from New York. The first proprietors'
meeting was held at WaUingford, Connecticut, September 12, 1772, with
Captain Ehakim Hall, moderator. The town was organized March 10, 1778,

with Abraham Ives, moderator; Abraham Jackson Jr., clerk; Joseph Jack-
son, Abraham Ives and Jonah Ives, committee. The boundaries of the
township have since been changed. October 31, 1792, 3,388 acres were taken
from it to form, with Jackson's Gore and a portion of I.udlow, the township
of Mt. Holly. Again, October 19, 1793, the Legislature passed an Act an-
nexing to Wallingford a portion of the town of Tinmouth. This Act annexed
that portion of the town called " West Hill," and was a full equivalent to
Wallingford for all that had been taken from its eastern side.
The soil on the lower lands is very rich and productive, especially along
Otter Creek, where are situated some as beautiful farms as are to be found
in the State. The higher lands were originally densely covered with heavy
timber, while the lower lands were covered with deep swamps and thick
jungles. Otter Creek was a black, sluggish stream, often dammed with drift-
wood, when it flooded the swamp for acres — the paradise of mosquitoes.
In the very midst of what was then the swamp mentioned, now Hes, sur-
rounded by broad pastures and beautiful farms, the pleasant little village of
Wallingford.
In 1880 the town had a population of 1,865, ^^^s divided into thirteen
school districts and had sixteen common schools, employing two male and
twenty female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $2^420.70. During the year
ending October 31st, there were 419 pupils attending common school, and
the entire cost of the schools was $2,706.36. Mr. S. H. Archibald was
superintendent.
Wallingford, a post village and station on the Rutland and Bennington
Railroad, which passes through the town from north to south, lies in the
north-western part of the town, on Otter Creek, principally on one street
running north and south, with the Catholic church at the northern extremity
and the Congregational at the southern — modest though comely structures.
It is about ten miles distant from Rutland, and contains nine stores, one
photograph gallery, three blacksmith shops, three churches, one town hall
one school-house, one fork factory, harness and shoe shop, grist-mill, cheese
factory, etc., and has about 625 inhabitants.
The fork manufactory of Batcheller & Sons, the most important manu-
factory of the town, situated in this village, on Otter Creek, employs about
sixty men. Their goods have a wide reputation, being shipped to nearly all
the countries in the world where American implements have been intro-
duced.
Wallingford Graded School, situated on School street, is a very flourish-
ing institution, estabhshed September i, 1871. The building is very pleas-
antly located and capable of accommodating about 150 scholars, employs
three teachers, with Prof. William H. Shaw as principal.
South Wallingford, a post village, situated five miles south of Walling-
ford village, on Otter Creek, and about five miles north of Dan by, is a station
on the B. & R. R'y, containing about twenty dwellings, one church (Union),
254

one grist and saw-mill, one cheese factory, one wood-pulp mill, one store and
an express office, railroad depot and post-office combined. There is also
found here a quarry of very marketable marble, and the South VVallingford
Stone Mill employs eight gangs of saws in cutting it.
The Pioneer Pulp Mill, located at this village, was established in May,
1880, by JuUus T. Remington and Edward P. Ely. The partnership was
dissolved on June nth of the same year, and the works are now owned by
Edward P. Ely. Pulp is used in the manufacture of paper, and consists of
wood, wet and ground into a pulpy substance. Mr. Ely manufactures about
3,000 pounds of dry pulp per day, and employs nine men. The mill is run
by water-power, and has the convenience of a side-track from the railroad at
the door.
East Wallingford, a post village, situated in the eastern part of the
town, on the Central Vermont Railroad, is about five miles distant from the
other two villages. It has a very neat Baptist meeting-house, several stores
and machine-shops, and is increasing in its business interests.
Centreville, a hamlet, situated a mile and a quarter south-west of East
Wallingford, contains ten dwellings, one saw-mill, one chair-stock mill, one
cheese-box and butter tub factory, one blacksmith-shop and one school house.
Gleason &^ Chilsofis cheese factory, at East Wallingford, uses the milk of
300 cows, and manufactures 60,000 pounds of cheese per year.
Andersotis cheese factory, established in 1879, uses the milk from 275
cows, manufacturing about 48,000 pounds of cheese per annum.
Pearl Cheese Factory, located one-fourth of a mile south of South Walling-
ford, was erected in the fall of 1873, ^t a cost of $3,000. It is owned by
Abraham R. Ames, who manufactures 100,000 pounds of cheese per year,
from the milk of 400 cows.
The Town Farm is located one and one- fourth miles south-west of East
WaUingford, and contains 140 acres, under the supervision of Hiland
Johnson. The farm usually has on an average twelve of the town-poor on
the premises.
Wallingford receives its name from Wallingford, Conn., where resided the
original proprietors. Abraham Jackson is usually conceded to have been the
first settler possessing a legal title to his lands. He settled here with his
family in the summer of 1773, and though he, with others that settled with
him, were the first regular settlers, they were not, as has been erroneously
stated, the first inhabitants. Remember Baker, with a corps of assistants,
surveyed the township in the year 1770. On the 2d day of June of that
year he was at work in company with one, Wood, from Pawlet, (as per
records). They commenced at the north-east corner of Danby, and after
running two miles and sixty chains north, they heard chopping in the forest,
to their right. They left their work, and following the sound, found, about
forty rods to the east, on Otter Creek, a dwelling and small clearing. This
was owned by Ephraim Seeley, undoubtedly the first inhabitant of Walling-
TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. 255
ford, he having settled there, supposing he was in the town of Tinmouth.
The site of his house was about thirty rods east of the George Earle place,
the R. R. now running right through its old foundation. Four years after
this, Mr. Seeley sold his improvements for ^50, and bought in Danby for
^7, where he resided until his death, leaving numerous descendants.
John Hopkins was one of the earHest settlers of the town, coming from
Salem, N. Y., in the spring of 1770. He settled on West Hill, which then
belonged in the town of Tinmouth, where he chopped and cleared two acres
of land, and sowed it with wheat. He had no house, and slept in a hollow
log with the ends closed to keep the wolves out. His bread was baked in
Danby, and his rifle supplied his table with meat. The autumn of that year
he went to Danby Corners, when he married Charity Bromly. Returning
early the following summer he built a log house, and his wife soon after
joined him. The wheat he had sown the fall before, he found, on his return,
had grown so tall that he could stand in the midst of it and tie the stalks
over his head. Mr. Hopkins resided here until his death, at an advanced
age, and many of his descendants still reside on West Hill. The site of the
old house was just back of the orchard, on the farm where George Hopkins
now resides.
In 1784 Lent Ives built the house recently occupied by Dr. John E. Hitt,
of WaUingford village. Ives was a returned Revolutionary soldier. Previous
to his building this house, he had hved in a log house, situated where Rebecca
Hull now resides. In buying land on which to build, the bounds were as
follows : — Commencing at a stake and stone on the south end of the lot
where the Congregational chapel now stands, running south on the highway,
to the north bank of Roaring Brook, thence up said bank to where Frank
H. Hoadley's blacksmith shop stands, thence parallel with the west Hne as
far north as the place of beginning, thence west to the place of beginning.
This lot included the best part of what is now WaUingford village. The
house was built near the site of the residence of the late Isaac Munson.
The barn was built where the residence of Lewis Cobb now stands. The
space between the house and barn, and north of it, was used for many years
as a public park and parade ground. The house was removed to the site
where it now stands, in the year 1855-56. It is built in the old gambrel-
roof style, the posts larger at the top than the bottom, the walls ceiled and
pannelled, the chimneys being built outside of the house at either end, and
composed of brick, stone, and home-made mortar of clay. The floor was
made of very wide, hard wood planks on the lower story, and pine of a
superior quaUty above, the same floor being now in use. This house was
soon after opened by Ives as a hotel, and was used as such a long time,
Ethan Allen having stopped there several times, the last time being the
winter previous to his death. This description will serve as a fair picture of
most any old-time mansion, showing how primitive was our forefather's style
of architecture.
256 TOWN OF WALLINGFORD.
Abraham Ives, an early settler in Wallingford, was the first high sheriff of
Rutland County, holding the office from 1781 to '85. In selling the tract of
land now known as Mendon, he opened the sale at midnight of the day
advertised, in the interest of certain Rutland men, the said land being pur-
chased by Jonathan Parker, — hence, Parkerstown. Ives, fearing prosecution
for his irregularity, resigned his office, sold his property to Samuel Hull and
left the State.
The first grave in WaUingford Cemetery was made necessary in the follow-
ing manner: — About the year 1777, a Tory from Manchester attempted to
go to Castleton and put himself under Royal protection. He had proceeded
as far as Green Hill, WaUingford, when the citizens learning that he was on
the hill, went out after him. He pointed his gun at them, when they im-
mediately shot him down, fatally wounded. He was carried to the residence
of Mr. Benj. Bradley, where he was kindly cared for until he expired. He
was buried on Mr. Bradley's farm, fiUing the first grave in WaUingford
Cemetery, where hundreds now peacefully sleep within its hallowed precints.
In the year 1779 there came into the town, setthng at Wallingford village,
two good men, who were afterwards quite prominent. One was Joseph Ran-
daU, the other, Nathaniel Ives. Mr. RandaU was the first deacon of the
Baptist Church of that village, and a man of earnestly correct principles.
He at different times held many important positions both in the Church and
in the town. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1793,
and served both in the war of the Revolution and in the war of 181 2. Mr.
Ives was the first deacon of the Congregational Church, and though not so
distinguished as Mr. Randall, yet was held in great esteem by his feUow citi-
zens. The house where he first resided was near the spot now occupied by
the residence of Mrs. Randall. It was a log cabin, as aU the houses of the
settlement at this time were, had a chimney but no hearth and no door,- the
entrance to the house being covered with a blanket.
There was no bridge across Roaring Brook, which was a much larger stream
than now, the only way to cross being upon logs, the upper sides of which
were hewn off flat to make the walking less precarious, MiU Brook was then
abundantly suppUed with fish, while on Otter Creek there were plenty of
mink, muskrats and beaver. The Settlers at this time made their own sugar
&c., and most of their clothing. Mrs. Abraham Ives and Mrs. Abraham
Jackson each had a caUco dress, costing them $15,00 a piece, which were
very much admired. The first grist mill was located at South Wallingford,
built by Abraham Jackson.
Joseph E. White, now a resident of WaUingford, has in his possession a
gun with a very long barrel and long stock, being one of the Queen Anne
arms, manufactured in England in 1740- PhiUp White carried it at the seige
of Louisburg in 1774, and Nehemiah White carried it during the Revolu-
tionary war ; since which time it has been handed down from one genera-
tion to another, until it is now in the possession of Joseph White, as stated.
TOWN OF WALLINGFORD. '256
Philip White and Nehemiah his son, and a daughter, Lois White, came to
WaUingford about the year 1790, setthng upon the EH M. Ward place. They
built a log house, which was succeeded in 1804 by the old house now used
by Mr. Ward in which to make butter and cheese. The log house had only
a blanket for a door. One morning there was a'piece of venison lying just inside
the door, and a large bear happening to stroll that way, scented it, and coolly
stepped in and helped himself. Bruin had not counted the cost however, for
before he could make his escape, Philip, taking down the old gun referred to,
shot him dead.
Hon. Harvey Button, an old and respected resident of WaUingford, was
born in Clarendon, January, 17, 1800. He moved to the town of WaUing-
ford June I, 1826. Mr. Button is by profession a lawyer, and is now hale
and hearty in body, possessing a vigorous mind.
Stanley Stafford came to WaUingford from Danby, about the year 1795,
and bought the John Reed grist and saw mill at South WaUingford. Mr.
Stafford at that time was one of the largest real estate owners in the town.
Asa Anderson settled on the farm now owned by his son Nathaniel, in 1790,
when he was about 25 years of age. Mr. Anderson served four years in the
Revolutionary war. Asa's house stood in the north-west corner of the lot
where Nathaniel's now stands, some plum trees and a large apple tree marking
the spot.
Luther Holden, born in Mt. Holly, settled in East WaUingford at an early
date, where he resided many years and then removed to South WaUingford,
where he has since resided, being now 97 years of age. He is at present
residing with his son, Jesse, and also has two sons residing in Hubbardton —
Antipas E. Holden and Zimri H. Howard. Luther has a brother, Stephen
Holden, of Mt. Holly, who is 96 years of age.
John Ballou, from Richmond, N. H., came to Rutland County in 1800,
locating in Shrewsbury, removing to WaUingford again after a few years
residence in that town. In 1823 he purchased the farm in the north part of
the town now owned by his daughter Olivia, who was born in 18 13.
Goodyear Clark, from Connecticut, came to this town previous to the
Revolution, locating on a farm about half-a-mile north of the present village
of WaUingford. He died about the year 1850. P. G. Clark, son of Chancey
and grandson of Goodyear, was born in 1805, and is now a resident of Wal-
lingford village.
G. H. Edgerton came to WaUingford in 1845, and engaged in the boot
and shoe business, and was long known among the business men of the
township, though he is now retired from business. His son, Charles M.
Pvdgerton, was a lieutenant during the late war, and died in the hospital at
Philadelphia, March 2,8, 1864.
Zephaniah Hull came to Clarendon from Cheshire, Conn., at an early date,
locating upon the place now owned by his grand-daughter. Rebecca F. Hull,

in August, 1877. His son, K. O. Eddy, is still a resident of the town, at the
age of 65 years.
William Kent, from Leicester, Mass., came to Wallingford in 1802, locating
in the east part of the town, and was followed the next year by his brother,

daughter ; the sons, Austin, Elias W. and Alonzo, are still residents of the
town.
Amasa, Ebenezer and Joel Hart, settled in the central part of the town
previous to the Revolution. Levi, son of Amasa, is still a resident, at the
age of 7 2 years.
Howard Harris came to Wallingford in 1824, from Brattleboro, Vt.,
engaging in mercantile pursuits at Wallingford, in which he continued until
December 25th, 1851, when his store and property, valued at $5,000, was
destroyed by fire and was a total loss. Mr. Harris represented the town in
1836, and has served as town clerk many years. A daughter of Mr. Harris
is the wife of Dr. George H. Fox, of Rutland.
Elias Crary, from New Haven, Conn., came to Wallingford at an early
date, locating in the north part of the town, upon the farm now owned by
Edwin Crary. Frank L., a grandson of Elias, is also a present resident of
the town.
Edwin Martindale came to this town in 1832, where he was engaged in

During the RebeUion the town of WalHngford sent 161 men to the war,
being three men over and above all demands made upon her. Every soldier
who was credited for the town, received a bounty varying from $25.00 to
$900.00 each; $2,213.46 of the funds to pay bounties was raised by volun-
tary contribution, the remainder, $9,136.54 being raised on the "grand list"
of the town, making in all $r 1,350.00, the whole expense of the town.
T/te First Baptist Church of IValliiioJord was organized at Wallingford
village, February roth, 1780, by Elisha Rich, with a membership of twenty-
one, and Rev. Henry Green as pastor. The first house of worship was a
union church, erected in 1800, succeeded by the in'ependent one in 1827.
The original cost of the present edifice was $870. Rev. S. Henry Archibald
is at present pastor. The house of worship was enlarged and repaired in
1846 and again in 1869, and will now comfortably seat 200, and the property
is valued at $6,000, There have been twenty-one pastorates and nineteen

different pastors. The first pastorate was twenty years in length. Ten per-
sons have served as deacons, nine as church clerks. The church took early
ground against slavery and intemperance. Deacon Randall, the first clerk,
served fifty-five years, and as deacon fifty-six years. The centennial anni-
versary of the Church was observed on February loth, 1880.
The Congregational Church of Wallingford was organized in 1792, with

in 1866, at a cost of $8,000, and will comfortably accommodate 350 people.
Rev. T. J. Gaffney is the present pastor.
Pells, situated in the south-west part, in lat. 43 '^ 27', and long. 2> 54'
P^^ east from Washington, ranks in point of size as one of the smallest
fir towns of the county. The township was originally laid out six miles
square, containing 23,040 acres, an allowance of 1,040 acres free being made
for "highways and unimprovable land by rocks, ponds, mountains ^nd rivers."
October 28, 1784, 6,118 acres were taken from the north-east corner of the
town toward the formation of Middletown, and October 31, 1798, nearly 4,000
acres more were taken from the north-west part and annexed to Poultney,
leaving only 13,000 acres, which now comprise the town. Wells forms the
southern boundary of Poultney and Middletown, while Tinmouth Hes to the
east, Pawlet to the south, and the State hne forms its western boundary. It
was chartered by Penning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, Septem-
ber 15, 1 76 1, to Capt. Ehakirn Hall and sixty-three others, — none of whom
ever settled in the town, — they were mostly residents of Connecticut. In the
original plan of the town there were seventy shares, or rights of land. A
tract in the south-west corner, containing 500 acres, laid out and marked on
the map " B. W." the record says, was for " His excellency Benning Went-
worth, Esq.," and was accounted as two shares ; one share for the society
for the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts; one share for the "glebe
for the church of England," one share for the first settled minister of the Gos-
pel, one share for the benefit of a school in said town, and the remaining
sixty-four shares to Cupt. Hall and his sixty-three associates.
256* TOWN OF WELLS.
The western portion of Wells is moderately even and rolling; the eastern,
rough and mountainous ; there are, however, good, rich farms lying in the
valleys between the mountains. There are three quite considerable moun-
ains extending across the entire eastern portion of the town from north to
south ; they are, Pine Hill, Moose Horn and North-east Mountains, and all
comparatively easy of ascent. St. Catherine Mountain, lying between Poult-
ney and Wells, and Pond Mountain, in the centre of the town, are also high
elevations. The territory is well watered by numerous streams, having sources
among the springs on the mountain sides, and the scenery is made varied and
picturesque by a number of ponds and lakes nestled between the mountains.
Lake St. Catherine, or Lake Austin, lying partly in Poultney, and extending
south to nearly the centre of Wells, is a beautiful little sheet of water,
surrounded by mountains. It is nearly five miles in length, and about one in
its greatest breadth, and covers an area of about 2,000 acres, lying in two parts,
a lower and upper, connected by a channel about three-fourths of a mile in
length and from three to eight rods in width ; the lower portion, usually
called Little Pond, is about three-fourths of a mile in length by one-half in
breadth. The water is clear but shallow, abounds in fish and is a favorite
resort for pleasure-seekers during the summer season. Lake St. Catherine
House, a popular hotel, very pleasantly located in the midst of a hemlock
grove at the south end of the lake, was originally built by Merritt Lewis in
i860, and rebuilt in 1867 by Charles W. Potter, who gave it its present name
and was its landlord until 1878, when it was leased by Oliver Reynolds, and
run by him until 1881, when, on April ist, it was taken by the present owner
and proprietor, Mr. Irving Wood.
The principal stream is the outlet of the lake, which flows a south-westerly
course, dhiptying into Pawlet River. Wells Brook rises in Tinmouth, flows
west through Wells and empties into the outlet of the lake. These are the
largest streams, although there are numerous other small brooks and rivulets
which serve to irrigate and enrich the soil.
Wells is not rich in minerals, but in the western portion of the town is an
excellent quarry of building stone, and also a range on which is found both
black and purple slate in great abundance. The soil is quite fertile and well
adapted to grass and grain, the products of the dairy forming the principal
wealth of the town. Lumber is quite an article of export, the timber being
mostly beech, birch, maple, hemlock and spruce, with some balsam and black
ash. Large quantities of maple-sugar are manufactured, much of which is
sent to other localities not so well favored in this respect.
The population of the town in i88o was 665, and during that year, ending
October 31st, had seven school districts and six common schools, employing
one male and nine female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $690.60. The
number of pupils attending common schools was 152, and the total expense
for school purposes was $769.18. The superintendent was Mr. Abisha X.
Lewis.
TOWN OF WELLS. ^256
Wells, a post village, located south-west of the center, the only settle-
ment of any extent, contains three churches, one store, one blacksmith
shop, one wagon shop and about 150 inhabitants. The store of Oliver R.
Hopson and George Lewis was destroyed by fire at 8:30 a. m. of the 25th
of February, 1881, the post oftice being at the time kept in the building.
The store was rebuilt by Mr. Hopson and opened for business in about three
months from the time of the fire.
The Lake Austin Knitfing Mills are situated about half a mile west of the
village, near the outlet. The site of the present mill was purchased by John
Blossom about the year 1814, and a clothing works built thereon, which
" dressed " cloth and carded wool for the farmers residing in the surrounding
country. The wool, after carding, was taken home and spun, woven by
hand, and then brought to this mill to be dressed into cloth and flannel for
their family use. In the year 18 19 Mr. Blossom sold the works to his
brother Seth, who continued the business until the year 1833, when he sold
the property to Henry Gray, who added machinery for making cloth, rude in
structure, using hand looms only, but such as the country afforded at that
time. Gray continued to manufacture cloth and do custom work until the
year 1834, when he sold the property to Samuel Culver and Benjamin Lewis,
the business being then carried on under the firm-name of Culver & Lewis,
until 1843, when James Lamb bought Culver's interest, and the firm was
changed to Lewis & Lamb, who added power-looms and other improved
machinery which they continued to operate until the year 1848, when Wm.
Goodrich purchased Lamb's interest, the new firm continuing about one year,
when Goodrich sold out to Lewis, he continuing the business alone until 1866
when his son, R. M. Lewis, became associated with him under the firm-name of
B. Lewis & Son. \\\ 1873 the firm changed their business and engaged in the
manufacture of knit underwear, shirts and drawers, since which time the mills
have been known by their present name. The mill was leased to J. S. Wilcox
during the years 1876, '77 and '78, but was under the management of R. M.
Lewis, the present owner. The mill has been twice destroyed by fire, the
first time about the year 1830, and again in 1853. The main building is
35x100 feet, two stories high, there also being connected with it a dye-house
23x30 feet, store-house 25x25, picker house 20x25, ^"d wood-shed 20x40
feet, all built of wood and painted red. (See illustration opposite page.)
The works employ about twelve persons, male and female, who manufacture
twenty dozens of shirts and drawers per day, which are mostly sold in New
York, the sales aggregating about $20,000 per annum.
Letvisville Cheese Factory^ located on road 21, was built by Benjamin
Lewis in 1875, 3.nd is now owned by Rodney M. Lewis, has twenty patrons
and manufactures 85,000 pounds of cheese per annum.
Goodspeed' s saw mill, located on Mill Brook, near road 23, was built by
W. Goodspeed in 1840, and now manufactures about 500,000 feet of lumber
annually.
256" TOWN OF WELLS.
77^1? Alfred Lewis Cheese Factory, located at East Wells, on road 25, was
erected in 187 1, has six patrons and manufactures 23,000 pounds of cheese
per annum.
Wilder Lewis' saw mill was originally built over fifty years ago, by whom,
it is, so far as we have learned, not known. It is situated at the outlet of
Lake St. Catherine, and rebuilt in 1851 by Mr. Lewis, who at present manu-
factures there about 200,000 feet of lumber per annum.
Goodrich's grist mill, located in the south-west part of the town, on the
outlet of the lake, was erected by Roswell Goodrich in the year 1808. It is
now owned by the estate of Haley Goodrich, has four runs of stones, and
does mostly custom work.
The settlement of Wells was commenced by Ogden Mallory in 1768, and
Daniel and Samuel Culver came into town in 177 1, bringing their families
the following year. The town was organized at a meeting held March 9,
1773, being the first town meeting; Ogden Mallory was elected moderator,
and John Ward, clerk. This meeting was adjourned till November istof
the same year, when Ogden Mallory, Daniel Culver, Joseph Lawrence,
Abner Howe and John Ward were chosen selectmen. The first listers were
elected March ii, 1777, and were Ogden Mallory, Timothy Morse and
Reuben Searles.
Most of the early settlers of this town came from Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, and it is not difficult to trace in their descendants their Puritan
origin, by their characteristics, to this day. They were a pious, industrious,
honest people, possessed of an indomitable will; quick to decide and lasting
in friendship, as is proven by an act of their town meeting held February 25,
1774, at which Abner Howe and Joseph Moss were appointed a committee
to represent the town in a general meeting, held at Manchester, in March,
1774. The committees from the several towns being there assembled to con-
sider " The despotic act of the New York Assembly, for the suppression and
apprehension of the Bennington mob," and voted thereto, " that as a country
we will stand by and defend our friends and neighbors who are indicted, at
the expense of our lives and fortunes." It is to the credit of the people of
the town of Wells, that they in every sense of the word kept their promise.
It is hardly possible for the present generation, who are living in comparative
luxury, to conceive of the vicissitudes through which their forefathers passed,
nor to realize the obstacles they had to contend with in procuring food and
clothing, and preparing homes for their families. Even some of the oldest
inhabitants at the present time can remember when they had to go bare-
footed a greater portion of the year, and wear home-made clothing at all
times.
The first marriage in the town was that of Ebenezer Welton to Catharine
Culver, on the i8th day of May, 1775. The first birth was that of Joseph
Moss, son of Joseph and Esther, born September 8th, 1775.

about 40 years of age. who for stealing, Vas sentenced by Justice Samuel
Lathrop to receive ten lashes. The punishment was inflicted by the con-
stable and took place in about the year 1807.
Ogden Mallory, the first settler m the town, died in t8ii, aged 91 years,
leaving four children. Daniel Culver, the next settler, coming here in 1771,
was the first Representative of the town. He was born in 1748 and died in
1831.
Timothy Moss emigrated here from Farmington, Ct., in 1772, served in
both the French and Revolutionary wars, dying in 1828, at the advanced age
of 90 years.
Joshua Howe, from Wallingford, settled in 1873 on the farm now owned
by his grandson, Joshua, and built the first grist-mill in town. He was re-
markable most for a temper never known to be quickened under any circum-
stances. When he raised his grist-mill, it is told, he stood holding a post,
which, as the tennon entered the mortise, the post came down upon his toes,
smashing them flat ; but, with unrufi1,ed countenance he turned to his son,
remarking in his ordinary, deliberate and mild tones, "Joseph, I wish you
would get the crow-bar and raise up this post. I would like to get my toes
out from under it." Mr. Howe died in the year 1800.
Mathias and Joseph Button, father and son, settled here in 1785. Mathias
afterwards married the widow of Joshua Howe. He was born in 1732 and
died in 181 1. Joseph died in 1826, aged 76 years.
Aaron Ives, from Walhngford, Ct., settled near Harvard Pond, in 1785,
and died in 1801, aged 53. His only son, Aaron, Jr., was killed in Middle-
town, in 1 83 1, by the faUing of a tree.
Joseph Lamb, from Norwich, Ct., and his wife Betty, settled on a hill in
Wells, hence called Lamb Hill, in 1778. Mr. Lamb died in 1809, aged 73;
his wife in 1852, aged 95.
Bethud Barden settled in Wells, on road 25, in the year 1816. Mr. Barden
had five children by his wife Sarah, two of whom are now living ; one in
Rupert, and one, John, still resides on the old homestead, aged 74 years.
He has represented his town in the Legislature six years, was door-keeper
nine years, and has held nearly every office in the town.
During the war of 186 1, Wells sent sixty men, and paid for bounties and
other expenses incurred, $15,057.00. The bounties ranged from $100 each
for the nine months men, up to $1,000 and $1,150 for the three years men.
It is not known at exactly what date the first school-house was built, but it
was very early in the history of the town, as soon as there were children
enough to form a school. The first school-houses were made of logs and
warmed by fireplaces, the benches generally made of slabs, turned flat-side
up, into which holes were bored and legs inserted. The first Sabbath-school
was organized at East Wells in 1823, with Levi Lamb superintendent. The
same year a Sabbath-school was organized at the village and Levi Lewis ap-
pointed superintendent. In May, 1789, ten acres of land were selected by a
256* TOWN OF WESTHAVEN.
committee chosen for that purpose, and the town voted to build a church
thereon, thirty-six feet in length, twenty feet in breadth, and a story and a
half in height. This tract is situated on a rise of ground about midway be-
tween the Pond bridge and Pond Mountain, and on the north side of the
road. The church was built in 1790, but was never entirely finished. This
was the first house erected in the town for public worship, and used in com-
mon by all, and after having been abandoned as a church it was for many
years used as a barn, and was finally blown down during a storm, on March
27, 1S47. On the same tract of land with the meeting-house, was laid out,
also, the first burial-ground, where lie buried many of the first settlers of the
town.
The Universalist Churchy located at Wells village, was erected in 1855, on
the site occupied by the old church, built in 1821. Rev. Aaron Kinsman
was the first settled minister, locating here in 1821. There is no resident
pastor at present.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Wells Corners, was organized
about the year 18 10, with Rev. Anthony Price as pastor. The first house of
worship was erected in 1802, which w^as succeeded by the present edifice in
1842, which was built at a cost of $1,500, and will comfortably seat 200 per-
sons. The present value of the church property is about $1,000. Rev. J.
Phillips is at present pastor.
St. PatiVs Church, (Episcopal), located at Wells village, was organized by
Rev. P. Dyer, April 27, 1844. The building was erected in 1840, at a cost
of $1,800, and will comfortably seat 150 persons. The property is at present
valued at $2,000. Rev. E. J. Randall is at present pastor, with a member-
ship of twenty-one.
^ESTHAVEN, the most westerly town of Rutland County, is located in
.Jkk ig^^_ ^^' ^6' and long. 3° 44' east from Washington, and is bounded
north by Benson, east by Eairhaven, south by Poultney River, which
separates it from Whitehall, N. Y., and west by Lake Champlain.
The surface of the township is quite uneven, several lidges of mountainous
hills passing through different parts of the town, mostly in a north and south
direction. The largest of these, called Ball Mountain, located in the south-
ern part of the town, contains about 4000 acres of land, entirely worthless for
purposes of cultivation. The country is watered by several small streams,
the principal of which are Hubbardton River and Cogmen Creek. Hub-
bardton River flows through the eastern part of the township and empties into
East Bay, about one mile below Carver's Falls. Cogmen Creek rises in Root's
Pond, in Benson, passing through the township about three miles west from
Hubbardton River, also emptying into East Bay.
The soil varies, and taken as a whole is not much different from that of the
adjoining towns, clay, perhaps, predominating. The timber is that common
to all mountain districts of Vermont.
TOWN OK WESTHAVEN. '256
In 1880 Westhaven had a population of 492; it was divided into seven
school districts and had seven common schools, employing two male and six
female teachers, at an aggregate salary of $807.50. There were ninety-four
pupils attending ccmmon school, and the whole cost of the schools for the
year ending October 31st, was $1,031.13. S. R. Hitchcock was superinten-
dent.
Westhaven, (p. o.) a hamlet located in the central part of the township,
contains a church, one store and post-office, one blacksmith shop and about
eight dwellings.
Hiiiifs Cheese Factory, located on road 23, was built in 1875. It now
uses the milk from 140 cows, from which is manufactured 40,000 lbs. of
cheese per annum.
J. ON // Adavis &= Co's />oat-yard, located on East Bay, was established
about thirty years ago. They manufacture from one to six canal boats
annually, employing from five to twenty-three men.
J. P. Hujif s saw-7nill, spoke and ax helve vianitfaefo9y, located on Hub-
bardton River, near road 12, manufactures about 75,000 feet of lumber, 500
sets of spokes and 200 dozen ax-helves annually.
Westhaven was originally included within the limits of the township of
Fairhaven, chartered by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont on
the 27th day of October, A. D , 1779. By an Act of the Legislature ap-
proved October 20, 1793, the township was divided and formed into two
townships, the eastern part retaining the name of Fairhaven, and the west
taking the name of Westhaven. The name, Westhaven, was adopted by the
inhabitants of Fairhaven at a town meeting held March 27, 1792, and for
the reason, without doubt, that it was the west part of the original town.
The question of the division of the township appears to have been
agitated a great deal by the early settlers, and they were not entirely har-
monious on the subject of the dividing line between the two towns. Twenty
of the citizens of the town, residing between Muddy Brook and Hubbardton
River, in the central part of the township, remonstrated against the division.
The town of Westhaven took about three-fifths of the area of the original
township, leaving to Fairhaven the remaining two-fifths. The two towns
were jointly to elect one Representative to the General Assembly. This
they continued to do until the annual election in 1823, when separate elec-
tions were held. Previous to this time, the annual Freemen's meetings were
held, sometimes at the school-house near Mr. Minot's, in Westhaven, and at
other times at the school-house near Mr. Stannard's, in Fairhaven, the people
of both towns meeting together and having at times a good deal of sectional
feeling in regard to their affairs.
The settlement of the present town of Westhaven was not begun to any
extent until the year 1783. Previous to this, and it is beheved before the
chartering of the township, Benoni Hulbert had made a claim and com-
menced some small improvements near the intersection of Hubbardton and

Poultney rivers ; but it is not known that he became a resident of the town-
ship until the year 1781. How long he remained in the town is not known.
It was but a few years at most.
In 1782 Beriah Mitchell, of Woodbury, Conn., began some improvements
in the township, where he continued to reside until 1786, when he returned
to Connecticut.
Early in the year 1783 Capt. Eleazer Dudley and family, and Abijah Peet,
also from Woodbury, settled in the township and began the work of clearing
a farm, a little west of where Nathaniel Fish lately resided. Wm. Dudley
was the first town clerk of Fairhaven and was interested in several proprietory
shares in the township. In 1788 he sold his interest to Dr. Simeon Smith
and removed from the town. John Howes, also from Woodbury, Elijah
Tryon, of Granville, Mass., John and Henry Cramer and others, came the
same year. In 1784 Hiram Barlow, an early settler of Tinmouth, and
Cornelius Bronson, of Woodbury, came. In 1786 Benjamin and Cooley
Weller, and Benjamin Chippann, settled on the west side of Ball Mountain,
on what has since been known as the "Benjamin farm." During this year,
James McCottin, from Pennsylvania, came into town and erected the first
grist-mill, near where Michael Blake now resides. The first saw-mill was
erected in 1785, on the lower fall on Hubbardton River, since known as
" The Hunt Mill."
Dr. Simeon Smith, from Sharon, Conn., came to Westhaven in 1787,
locating on the premises first settled by Capt. Dudley, Dr. Smith had been
a druggist and trader in Connecticut, was a physician by profession and had
been compelled by business misfortunes to leave Connecticut and seek his
fortune in another country. He became at once the leading and most prom-
inent business man in the vicinity, and at his death, February 27th, 1804, he
bequeathed the town $1,000, which was to be kept at compound interest at
six per cent, for a term of sixty years, at the expiration of which time the
accruing interest of the accumulated fund should be appropriated to the
schoohng of youth, to have one good grammar school kept in Westhaven,
the overplus to be used for the benefit of other schools and the support of
Gospel ministry, and if any over, for the support of the poor and needy in
said town. The subsequent accruing interest became available after July
13th, 1868, and at that time the fund amounted to $22,996.69. Had it not
been for an early loss of $100.00 of principal, and loss of interest while wait-
ing for investments, the sum, would have reached nearer its possible earnings,
$32,987.69.
About 1790 the first store was started, located on the knoll north-east of
where J. G. Briggs now resides. Smith & Woodward, proprietors ; the busi-
ness was afterwards carried on at the same place by Charles Rice and Bohan
Shepard, and later by Shipherd, Rice and Higgins. Another store was kept
near where Mrs. Adahne Hitchcock now resides, by Lemuel Hyde and John
Bronson. The firm was dissolved prior to 1800, and the business continued

at the same place by John Van Allen, and perhaps others, for a few years,
and then discontinued. A carding machine and clothing works were estab-
lished by Erastus Coleman, on the upper falls of Hubbardton River, about
the year 1802, and continued for about thirty years, when he erected a
woolen factory on the same ground and continued in the manufacture of
woolen cloth until 1844, since which time the building has been taken down
and all business discontinued at that place.
Oliver Church, from New Marlboro, Mass., purchased, June 30, 1780,
of Samuel Allen, of Tinmouth, the right of Nathan Clark in the town of
Fairhaven. He did not become an inhabitant of the town until about ten
years afterwards. In 1801 he removed to the farm first settled by Hiram
Barlow, and continued his residence there until his death, in 1826. In the
year 1800 he married Lucy Barker, who survived him a number of years,
dying in 1859, aged 76. Of their large family there are now living, Mrs.
Calista Adum, in Westhaven, Mrs. Lucy Tyler, in Portland, N. Y., and
Ohver Church, in Pike, N. Y. During all the period that he resided in the
town, Esquire Church, as he was called, was a prominent and influential
citizen. He represented the towns of Westhaven and Fairhaven in the
Legislature of the State, in the years 1803, 1806, 1807, 1810, 1811 and
18 19. He held the office of justice of the peace for many years, and pos-
sessed the confidence of the people of the town in a remarkable degree, doing
almost all the conveyancing and justice business for many years.
Samuel Adams, from Suffield, Conn., came to Westhaven in 1792, with his
wife, four sons and one daughter, locating on road 6, upon the farm now
owned by his grandson, Samuel. Horace resided with his father upon the
old homestead until his father's death, when the property reverted to him.
He was a popular and influential eitizen, and a representative in the General
Assembly three years. He died March 28, 1866, aged 82 years. At his
death the property came into the possession of his son, Samuel, who still
retains it. Samuel represented the town in 1864 and 1865, and has for a
number of years held the office of justice of the peace.
Oliver Hitchcock was born March 12, 1776, at Bristol, Conn. He came
to Vermont early in the present century, but did not permanently settle in
Westhaven until 1821. He was well known to "old stagers" of fifty years
ago as the jolly landlord of the " Gleason Stand." Willard, Miriam, Oliver
Franklin, Alman and RoUin, were all children of OHver, and were all residents
of Westhaven for a number of years. One only, Rollin, now resides in the
township, he having one son residing near him, on the Downs farm, and
another, Oliver Orville, residing with him on the old homestead. Willard,
eldest son of Ohver, was born in Bristol, Conn., July 22, 1799. He married
Adaline Welton in 1822, came to Vermont in 1832, and bought the place
now owned by William Preston, near the Apollos Smith place. Mr. Hitch-
cock here, associated with a Mr. Hill, also from Connecticut, established a
depot and salesroom for the " Terry Mantel Clock." They employed ped-

dlers, and, though almost the first in the enterprise, soon furnished Vermont
with plenty of these time-keepers, many of which — heir-looms — are running
yet. After a few years, on account of failing health, Mr. Hitchcock removed
to the old homestead, where he died in 1842, leaving a widow and four chil-
dren, of whom Mrs. Hitchcock, Willard L. and Anna, are still living in the
township, — Mrs. H. at the age of 77 years.

at a cost of $2,000, and will seat 200 persons. The property is now valued
at $8,000.

thirty feet.
BUSINESS MEN. — As a place for the business man to recruit, and for families to spend the Summer
months, no place equals it in the State : nothing here unpleasant — pure air, beautiful scenery, pleasant drives
and walks, and, above all, a Spring of Water which has no superior.
THE CHILDREN. — There is not a liner place in the United States for children; there is not a place
here where a child can get injured — no railroads, factories or shops of any kind — a perfect play ground.
AMUSEMENTS.— Billiards, Bowling Alley, Croquet Grounds, cS;c.
TELEGRAPH. — An office of the Western Union Telegraph Company in the house.
LIVERY. — A good Livery connected with the Hotel ; also accommodations for private carriages. Fam-

this low charge, an opportunity is given guests to visit all places of iuterest, and enjoy a healthful recreation at
the same time.

Carbonic Acid Gas, . - . . - 0.05 cubic inches.
Oxygen Gas, - - - - - 1.50 " "
Nitrogen Gas, ----- 98.45 "
Dr. Hayes says : — " It is a remarkable water, containing nitrogen dissolved.
CUTANEOUS DISEASES.— For all Cutaneous Diseases, Impurities of the Blood, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Urinary Difficulties, the Restoration of a Deticient Appetite, and for General Debility, these waters
are unequaled. As a choice Table Water, helping digestion,and sharpening the appetite, these waters will be
found invaluable.
WARM AND COLD BATHS.— The water is brought through pipes to the house for bathing purposes.
The water is put up in barrels, also in smaller quantities, if desired. It will keep for any length of time, retain-
ing all its virtues ; it has no sediment, is delicious to drink, health giving, and is a fine water for bathing.
SCENERY. — The scenery about the Springs is of peculiar beauty, even for Vermont, while the splendid
roads afford excellent opportunity for drives and views of this delightful region.
VISITORS. — p'rom fifteen to twenty-five hundred persons annually visit them in quest of health or pleas-
ure, and while the invalid is restored to health, through the agency of the medicinal properties contained in the
water, and the business man's mind rendered elastic by bavins removed from it an undue weight of care and
anxiety the pleasure seeker can find a full share of enjoyment in the beautiful scenery, the pleasant drives, the
numerous brooks for trout fishing, the interesting surroundings and excellent Hotels afforded at Clarendon Springs.

RUTI.AND COUNTY DIRF.CTORY.
DR. A.KILBURN,
Artificial Teeth inserted on all bases known to the profession, including
first, Continuous Gum Teeth — first in beauty, first in strength, first in clean-
liness, first in cost. Next, Gold or Silver as a base, are without doubt better
than anything else yet known, as they do not heat the mouth, and are not so
liable to make the mouth sore. I will also make Teeth on Rubber, Celluloid
or Corriline (which are the same thing) as cheap as any Dentist that is
capable of doing first-class work.
Particular attention paid to the preservation of the Natural Teeth.

i|HIS NORMAL SCHOOL was established in February, 1S67, in pursuance of an Act of the General
^!y Assembly of the State of Vermont. A brief history of its career, under its successive Principals, is given
on another page. It has been steadily gaining in the number of its pupils, in the character and standing
of its graduates, and in public confidence. It now takes a new departure. The Principal has, by the
purchase of the property of the "Corporation of Rutland County Grammar School," relieved the school
of financial embarrassment, while the general supervision remains with the Corporation and the State
Superintendent of Education.
TWO COURSES OF STUDY are adopted, as required by law. The First Course embraces two
years, or four terms of twenty weeks each, and comprises the following studies : —
FiR.ST Year. — Arithmetic, including- Forms, Decimals, Percentage and its Applications, Accounts {Book-
Keeping,) Powers and Roots ; Free- Hand Drawing, Orthographic ; (jeography. Mathematical, Descrip-
tive and Political; Natural Sciences, embraciitg the Elements of Mineralogy, Botany and Zoology ;
Political Economy, Elements of; Grammar, including Paraphrasing, Analysis and Composition ;
Reading, including Plionic Spelling, Word Analysis, Accent, Emphasis and Expression.
ffi^^An examination by the State Board of Examiners, completes the work of this year.
Second Year. — Algebra, //jrt>«o-A Factoting, Simple Eqtiations, Powers and Roots ; Arithmetic. Men-
suration ; Drawing, Perspective ; Physiology ; Physical Geography ; History, Vermont and Unifed
States ; Constitutions, / 'ermont and United States ; Language, embraci^ig Reading attd Grajnmatical
Atialysis ; Methods, Theory and Practice, History of Education, Economy of the School-Room.
(5^^ Examination by the State Board of Examiners, in the work of this year only.
Special Instruction will be given in Principles of Penmanship, Vocal Music, and Elocution. Rhetorical
Exercises weekly. Calisthenics, or Light School Gymnastics, twice each week, in connection with Reading.
THE SECOND COURSE OF STUDY embraces one year, or two terms of twenty weeks each. The
studies are : —
Plane and Solid Geometry, Quadratics in Algebra, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Outlines of General
History, Rhetoric, English Literature, Psychology, Moral Philos(.phy, True Order of Studies, and two of
the following optional studies : Botany, Astronomy, Geology, Natural History, Surveying and Logic.
To receive the State License, candidates must have attended at the State Normal School for at least one
school year, and be seventeen years of age. In special cases the course may be completed at an earlier age,
the license to teach being withheld until the graduate becomes seventeen.
Those who have taken an Academical Course at other schools, teacher.s of considerable experience, and other
persons of sufficient maturity in years and judgment, should be able to complete the First Course in one year.
Such persons as are able to pass the required ex'aniinations, will be permitted to graduate in both courses of
study in successive terms of the same year. It is especially desired that candidates for graduation shall have
had some experience in teaching, though this is not required.
Graduates from the First Course receive a State License to teach in any public school of the State for a term
oi five years. Those from the Second Course receive a License for ten years.
A PREr.\RATORY DEPARTMENT will be maintained for the instruction of those not prepared by age and
attainments to enter upon the First Course.
Measures will be taken, if found practicable, to open a Model School, in which the aim will be to illustrate
the best methods of Primary Instruction.
The instruction in each course will be largely bv topics. In each recitation the clearest methods of instruc-
tion and explanation will be sought. The aim of the School is : first, to secure a knowledge of the subject ;
then, to instrttct in the best methods of imparting that knowledge to others.
.State Scholarships are granted, on the recommendation of Town Superintendents, to persons complying with
the law governing them. This School is entitled to eighty-four. Appointments may be made from any town
in the State.
Tuition. — Six dollars per quarter of ten zveeks, payable on or before the fifth week.
Board. — Three dollars per week, including oil for lamp, fuel, and washing of ten pieces, excluding garments
required to be sent to the laundry. Boarders will furnish their own towels, napkins and bedding, save mat-
tresses. For three dollars and a half per week, all of the above will be furnished. Rooms for self-boarders
can be obtained at reasonable rates. The. School has ample accommodations for one hundred boarders, and
over two hundred pupils.
The Fall Term of twenty weeks begins on the last Tuesday in August. The Spring Term on the first
Tuesday in February.
d^"' For further information and for reduced fare on the railroads, address the Principal, or
Hon. JEROME B. BROMLEY, Secretary of the Corporation.

CLjlSSIFIED BUSII^^ESS DIRECTORY.
The Towns are alphabetically arranged at the end of the line, under the business
classifications. The post-office address of each individual or tirm follows after the
name. Where no post-office is given after the name, it signifies that the name of the
post-office and the township is the same. In the villages the name of the street is
generally given and precedes that of the post-office. The names of farmers are
omitted in this list, as they can readily be found in the general list, by noting the
figures at tiie end of tne line, which indicate the number of acres owned or leased by
each, lload numbers signify the same as in the general list.

RUTLAND COUNTY DIRECTORY. 627
Utome; at law anl Counselor in Falenl Causes,
SOLICITOR OF AMERICAN AND FORGISN PATENTS,
NORTH BENNINGTON, VT.
— • ■•U^ll —
-^C^ FTER an experience in patent matters extending over a period of
i0^ twenty years, offers his services to inventors in Rutland County and
vicinity, and confidently believes that his facilities for the transaction
of patent business in the United States Courts and in American and
Foreign Patent Offices are unsurpassed by any Patent Agency in New
England.
Acting as the Associate Attorney in the United States for the Patent
Agency of Robertson, Brooman & Co., London, the oldest establishment
of the kind in England, I am able to execute on this side of the water all
papers necessary to obtain British patents, so that inventors seeking Enghsh
patents may know, before their British applications are lodged, in what shape
their inventions have been presented. The general custom is to turn the
whole case over to the English Agents, who handle the matter as they please,
without consultation with the inventor, — a practice often prejudicial to the
inventor's interest.
Having a complete set of English and United States Patent Reports cover-
ing a period from 1617 to date, as well as a good selection of legal and scien-
tific patent authorities, I am able to furnish information of the highest value
to the inventor and the Utigant. No charge made for preUminary consultation.
The customary charge of $5.00 is made for preliminary searches on
inventions.
Fee for obtaining United States patents ranges from $35.00 upwards,
according to the complexity of the case.
Where applications are made after a preliminary search, the fee for search
will be applied on the regular attorney's fee.
Re-issues, extensions, copyrights, rejected cases and caveats, prosecuted
on reasonable terms.
Cost of Enghsh patents from $175.00 upwards. This covers English
Government fees and all other expenses.

GOOD LI¥ERY, BOSTING i FISHING.
-o-
LocATiON. — This New Summer Resort is located at the outlet of Lake
Bonioseen— one of the finest slieets of water in the State. It was opened
to the public May 1st, 1877, and has had five very successful Seasons. The
House is situatecl on the Main Street of the Village, but a few rods distant
from the Raihoad Station, and is surrounded by a pleasant and well-shaded
Lawn. Connected with the House are two Cottages— both well-shaded and
nicely furnished.
Boating and Fishing. — Our boatingand fishing facilities are unsurpass-
ed, and a fine Steam Yacht makes regular trips from here to all places of
interest on the Lake. We have a nice line of Boats for the use of the guests
of the House, which can be rented by the Season if desired.
Billiard Room and Bowling Alley. — A Billiard Room and Bowl-
ing Alley were added last season for the exclusive use of the guests of _
the House.
Read what the Press Say. — "Lake Bomoseen is rapidly becoming
the favorite resort of the tourist and pleasure seeker. This body of
water, located principally at Castleton, lies in a basin of rocks, and has 'j.^
alo'ng its banks and surroundings some of the most picturesque scenery
in Vermont. It is eight miles long and two and one-half wide at
its greatest breadth. Neshobee Island of about ten acres is sit-
uated near the center of the Lake, where a convenient
Hotel has recently been built, which affords a
charming resort for parties of pleasure, and
adds much to the beauty of the scenery. "-
