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.

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."

block,  opposite  the  Depot.  It  is  a  good  old  maxim,  that  "a  business  worth 
following  is  worth  insuring."  One  rests  more  contented  and  sleeps  sounder 
if  he  reahzes  that  the  destruction  of  his  property  by  fire  would  not  leave  him 
destitute,  or  without  means  to  continue  business  elsewhere.  Keep  insured, 
your  store,  workshop  or  dwelling.  Keep  insured,  and  Francisco  will  write 
pohcies  in  strong  companies  on  the  most  favorable  terms.  His  advertise- 
ment is  on  the  map.

tion which  has  helped  him  to  a  large  business  within  the  short  period  of 
three  years  since  he  began  for  himself.  Since  then  he  has  from  time  to  time 
had  to  build  additions  to  his  buildings,  and  each  time  the  additions  were  the 
largest.  His  specialties  are  rock  working  machinery,  and  of  these  he  has 
supphed  customers  in  many  of  the  States  of  the  Union,  sending  some  as  far 
west  as  Nevada  and  California.  Being  a  practical  mechanic,  and  himself 
manager  and  foreman,  he  does  not  hesitate  to  warrant  his  work;  hence  his 
success.     He  advertises  on  fly  leaf,  facing  the  first  cover.

The  Rutland  Herald, — Not  a  man  is  now  living  in  Rutland  county  who 
can  distinctly  recollect  when  the  first  number  of  the  Herald  made  its  appear- 
ance. While  many  other  papers  have  been  born,  struggled  through  a  brief 
existence,  and  have  died,  the  Herald  has  continuously  made  its  weekly  visits, 
and  has  done  more  service  in  moulding  the  minds  of  the  inhabitants  of  this 
great  commonwealth  than  any  other  paper  in  the  State.  Not  more  than  half 
a  dozen  papers  in  the  Union  are  older.  The  publishers  of  the  Herald  may 
well  feel  proud  of  their  paper.  Let  them  continue  to  improve  its  standard 
of  usefulness  as  they  have  done  in  the  past,  is  the  wish  of  its  many  admirers.

also  to  point  out  what  has  already  been  done,  if  anything,  by  others,  to  hin- 
der the  success  of  an  application.  Finally  his  long  experience  in  legal  points 
connected  with  this  peculiar  practice,  combined  with  his  other  qualifications,

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 

-3 


34  RUTLAND   COUNTY. 


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. 

Aliuviufn. — Under  this  head  geologists  include  all  the  loose  or  partially 
consolidated  materials  that  have  been  worn  from  the  older  rocks  at  whatever 


38  RUTLAND   COUNTY. 


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 
Albert  Fish,  of  Ira  ;  Hiram  and  Rufus  R.  Hamilton  and  J.  A.  Elhs,  of  Fair-

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 : — 

Ffesidents — WiUiam  L.  Farnham,  Poultney;  David  Hall,  Pittsford;  Henry 
W.  Lester,  Rutland ;  Joseph  Sheldon,  Fairhaven ;  Bradley  Fish,  Ira ;  Alpha 
H.  Post,  Rutland;  Henry  Hayward,  Rutland;  A.  D.  Smith,  Danby;  Pitt  W. 
Hyde,  Castleton  ;  L.  H.  Kellogg,  Benson ;  Lensey  Rounds,  Clarendon  ;  J.  S. 
Benedict,  Castleton  ;  Henry  F.  Lathrop,  Pittsford ;  Horace  H.  Dyer,  Rut- 
land ;  Henry  Clark,  Rutland. 

Secretaries — Orel  Cook,  Rutland,  ten  years  ;  W.  H.  Smith,  Rutland,  ten 
years ;  Henry  Clark,  Rutland,  fifteen  years ;  Miner  Hilliard,  Rutland ;  Len- 
sey Rounds,  Clarendon  ;  CorneUus  C.  Pierce,  East  Clarendon. 

Treasurers — Zimri  Howe,  Castleton,  fifteen  years;  Miner  Hilhard,  Rut- 
land ;  A.  D.  Smith,  Danby ;  Jesse  L.  BiUings,  Rutland ;  Walter  C.  Landon, 
Rutland. 

MANUFACTURES. 

Of  the  manufacturing  interests,  that  of  marble  and  slate,  in  their  various 
branches,  are  the  most  important.  Much  capital  is  also  employed  in  the  man- 
ufacture of  various  kinds  of  machinery,  scales,  buttons,  soap,  paint,  paper- 
stock,  etc.,  etc.  In  some  of  the  towns,  lumbering,  with  its  various  pro- 
ducts is  most  important.  According  to  the  U.  S.  census  of  1870,  the  county 
had  377  manufacturing  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. 

In  January,  1795,  the  first  number  of  The  Rural  Magazine  or  Ver/nont 
Repository  was  issued,  with  Rev.  Samuel  Williams,  editor.  The  last  number 
was  issued  in -December,  1796. 

In  1802,  the  Vermont  Mercury  was  started  by  Stephen  Hodgman.  This 
was  an  independent  weekly,  and  continued  but  a  short  time. 

On  July  25,  1808,  the  first  number  of  the  Fermotit  Courier  was  issued  by 
Thomas  M.  Pomeroy,  and  was  continued  until  May,  1810. 

On  August  29,  1848,  The  Rutland  Republican  was  commenced  by  Simeon 
Locke,  and  had  for  its  motto  the  following: — "Free  Soil,  Free  Speech,  Free 
Labor  and  Free  Men."     It  was  continued  but  a  short  time. 


48  RUTLAND   COUNTY. 


In  September,  1849,  21ie  Vermont  Union  Whig  was  issued,  a  home 
newspaper  devoted  to  politics  and  literature,  published  at  Rutland  and  Bran- 
don every  Wednesday;  William  C.  Conant,  editor  at  Rutland,  and  Samuel 
M.  Conant,  at  Brandon.  The  first  steam  printing  press  ever  used  in  Rutland 
County  was  used  for  the  first  time  in  printing  the  first  number  of  this  paper 
at  Rutland.  It  was  issued  but  a  few  months  and  died.  The  first  number  of 
it  issued  in  Brandon,  was  in  1847. 

In  January,  1855,  The  Guard  of  American  Liberty  was  started,  edited 
and  pubhshed  by  H.  F.  Potter.  It  was  devoted  to  "  Know-Nothingism." 
Only  a  few  numbers  were  ever  issued. 

On  August  12,  1857,  The  Rutland  Courier  was  commenced,  and  published 
every  Friday  morning  for  several  years,  by  Cain  &  McLean,  with  John  Cain, 
editor.  It  was  purchased  by  the  Globe  Paper  Co.,  in  April,  1872,  and  dis- 
continued as  an  individual  paper. 

In  July,  1858,  What's  the  News,  a  monthly  paper,  was  commenced  by 
WilUam  A.  Bacon.     Only  continued  a  short  time. 

July  21,  1866,  The  Rutland  County  Independent  ysz.'i  commenced  by  James 
K.  McLean  and  Thos.  C.  Robbins.  An  introductory  number  was  issued 
July  4,  1866,  but  the  first  regular  number  not  until  July  21st.  The  name 
was  soon  after  changed  to  the  Rutland  Independent.  Mr.  Robbins  with- 
drew from  the  firm,  and  in  April,  1872,  Mr.  McLean  sold  out  to  the  Globe 
Paper  Co.,  when  the  enterprise  was  discontinued  as  an  independent  paper. 

In  January  of  1870,  the  first  number  of  the  Rutland  Times  was  issued,  a 

boy's  paper,  issued  weekly,  edited  and  published  by  McLean  &  Aiken,  the 

former  a  son  of  James  K.     The  paper  was  suspended  in  November  of  1871. 

The  Marble  City  Mirror,  a  weekly,  was  published  during  a  few  months  of 

1870,  by  James  H.  Lansley. 

The  Vermont  Mason,  a  monthly,  was  commenced  by  Henry  Clark  in  May 
of  1 87 1,  and  continued  by  him  until  May  of  1873,  when  it  was  discontinued. 
The  Biblical  Messenger,  a  monthly,  was  started  by  A.  A.   Hoyt  in  1872, 
and  discontinued  after  a  few  issues. 

The  Rutland  Globe,  (daily  and  weekly,)  was  commenced  May  i,  1873,  by 
the  Globe  Paper  Co.,  who  had  previously  purchased  the  Rutland  Courier 
zxid  Rutland  Independent,  zn^  cox\\.m\\e(\  by  them  until  September  i,  1877, 
when  it  was  consolidated  with  the  Herald,  and  has  since  been  issued  as  the 
HERALD  AND  GLOBE,  by  the  Herald  and  Globe  Asssociation. 

The  Leader,  i^sntdi  weekly,  was  commenced  January  i,  1877,  by  Henry 
Clark,  who  continued  it  until  September  i,  1879,  when  he  sold  it  to  James 
L.  McArthur,  and  was  changed  by  him  to  the  Rutland  Times,  (which  see.) 

The  Inquirer  was  started  by  V.  C.  Meyerhoffer  in  January  of  1878.  In 
October  of  the  following  year  it  was  purchased  by  H.  W.  Love,  who  con- 
solidated it  with  the  Revie^v. 

The  Sunday  Revie7v  was  started  by  H.  W.  Love,  on  the  2nd  of  April, 
1878,  as  a  branch  of  the  Sunday  Review  of  Burlington.     Under  this  name 


RUTLAND   COUNTY.  49 


it  was  continued  about  one  year  and  then  changed  to  the  Saturday  Evening 
Revieiv^  and  soon  after  the  Inquirer  was  united  with  it,  and  the  name  again 
changed,  to  the  Review  Inquirer.  August  5,  1880,  the  office  was  taken  pos- 
session of  under  a  chattel  mortgage,  and  from  that  date  the  Review  and 
Inquirer  were  published  as  separate  papers  ;  the  former  by  Love,  as  the 
RUTLAND  REVIEW,  (and  is  now  published  by  the  Review  Association,) 
and  the  latter  by  L.  W.  Redington. 

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

On  September  i,  1879,  The  Rutland  Times,  a  daily  and  weekly,  was  com- 
menced by  James  L.  McArthur.  It  was  issued  about  three  weeks  and  then 
discontinued. 

THE  VERMONT  BAPTIST  was  started  in  March,  1879,  by  Rev.  Justin 
K.  Richardson,  and  is  still  continued  by  him.  It  is  issued  on  the  loth  of 
each  month,  devoted  to  the  interests  of  the  Vermont  Baptist  State  Conven- 
tion. 

PouLTNEY. —  The  Poultney  Gazette  was  started  in  November,  1822,  by 
Sanford  Smith  and  John  R.  Shute,  at  East  Poultney.  This  paper  was  con- 
tinued by  them  until  January,  1825,  when  it  was  changed  to  The  Northern 
Sj>ectator,  which  they  continued  to  publish  for  just  one  year,  when  it  became 
the  property  of  an  association,  with  "D.  Dewey  and  A.  Bliss,  agents  for  the 
proprietors."  They  continued  in  this  capacity  several  months,  when  they 
were  succeeded  by  E.  G.  Stone.  He  was  succeeded  by  several  others,  until 
June  II,  1830,  when  the  paper  was  discontinued.

Greeley  learned  the  printer's  trade. 

The  Fou/tney  O^vl  was  published  about  six  months,  in  1867,  by  James  H. 
Lansley.

by  J.  A.  Morris,  with  John  Newman,  editor,  and  Geo.  C.  Newman,  assistant 
editor.  It  was  pubhshed  by  Morris  one  year,  when  Geo.  C.  Newman  became 
publisher.  On  October  7,  1869,  Hon.  Barnes  Frisbie  became  editor,  and  re- 
mained until  June,  1870.  In  September,  1870,  H.  L.  Stillson  and  William 
Haswell  became  pubHshers,  Stillson  again  selling  his  share  of  the  concern  to 
Haswell,  on  August  8,   1871,  who  published  it  until   November,   1873.     Jn

graph,  went  as  a  missionary  to  India;  he  translated  the  New  Testament  into 
the  language  of  the  Rig-Veda,  Vajur-Veda,  Sama-Veda  and  Authora-Veda, 
and  afterward  founded  the  American  Baptist.

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. 


RUTLAND    COUNTY.  53 

In  1832,  The  Green  Mountain  Eagle  was  established  under  the  excite- 
ment of  "  Anti-Masonry."  Judge  Howe  was  the  prime  mover  and  principal 
proprietor  of  the  enterprise.  Its  existence  terminated  with  the  Anti-Masonic 
party. 

ABORIGINAL    OCCUPANCY. 

Though  no  direct  or  positive  knowledge  exists  that  the  county  was  ever  the 
permanent  home  of  any  particular  tribes  of  Indians,  yet  it  is  fair  to  presume 
that  some  time  in  the  remote  past  it  was.  It  was  long  a  disputed  territory 
among  the  various  tribes  of  New  England,  New  York  and  Canada,  and  used 
as  a  hunting  and  camping  ground  during  seasons  of  the  year  by  all.  It  is  cer- 
tain that  a  large  portion  of  the  territory  now  included  within  the  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 
road,  with  the  hearty  prayers  of  the  women,  as  we  passed,  never  to  re- 
turn.    ***** 

"  I  have  not  been  able  to  fix  Kier's  location  and  Danby  people  have  been 
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. 


RUTLAND    COUNTY.  57 


"  Marsh's  survey  is  likewise  undone,  as  I  did  not  care  to  venture  myself  that 
way.     I  shall  be  able  to  inform  you  more  particularly  at  our  meeting,  and  am 
"  Sir,  your  most  obedient  servant,  Will  Cockburn. 

"James  Duane,  New  York." 

Thus  the  people  struggled  on  until  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution 
against  the  mother  country,  when  the  minor  trouble  of  the  land  controversy 
was  swallowed  up  in  the  greater. 

When  this  became  cleared,  it  found  Vermont  an  independent  common- 
wealth ;  an  independent  State  that  had  struggled  into  existence  through  a 
double  revolution.  The  land  controversy  was  finally  given  up  by  the  young 
State's  haughty  neighbor,  upon  the  payment  of  $30,000,  and  they  have  since 
lived  together  on  the  most  amicable  terms. 

THE  REVOLUTIONARY  WAR. 

The  active  part  the  people  of  the  "grants"  took  in  this  war,  and  the  hearty 
zeal  with  which  they  entered  into  the  contest  for  American  liberty,  was  owing 
not  only  to  their  love  of  liberty,  but  more  to  their  general  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. 

The  following  complete  Roster  of  men  who  went  from  Rutland  County  as 
commissioned  officers,  and  of  those,  who  enlisting  in  the  ranks  were  subse- 
quently promoted  to  a  commission,  is  compiled  from  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector-General's report  of  1866,  and  from  other  sources.     P'or  convenience

Of  the  5,022  Men  Discharged,  317  commissioned  officers  resigned,  61 
commissioned  officers  and  3,865  enlisted  men  were  discharged  for  disability, 
44  commissioned  officers  and  596  enlisted  men,  for  wounds  received  in  action. 
Eleven  enlisted  men  were  paroled  prisoners.  Twenty-eight  commissioned 
officers  and  too  enlisted  men  were  dishonorably  discharged. 

Among  the  whole  number  of  troops,  it  is  to  be  expected  that  some  were 
not  true,  and  the  records  show  that  2,219  •''''^'^  (mostly  if  not  all  of  whom  were 
substitutes,)  deserted. 

The  nuinber  of  Engagements  in  which  the  several  Regiments,  Batteries  and 
Detached  Troops,  (officered  in  part  by  Rutland  County  men,)  bore  honorable 
part  during  the  War,  are  as  follows  : —

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 


TO\VN    OF   BENSON.  77 


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 : —

a  log  house  on  what  was, known  as  the  Ticonderoga  road,  leading  from  the 
fort  to  Hubbardton  and  passing  across  the  north  side  of  the  farm.  Plainly 
marked  in  this  old  house  is  the  date  of  Sally  Gleason's  birth,  July  39,  1788,

of  the  County  Court  in  1868  and  '69. 

Amos  King,  from  Cheshire,  Mass.,  came  to  Benson  in  1797,  accompanied 
by  his  wife  Eunice,  and  one  son  and  a  daughter,  Dexter  and  Ruth,  aged 
respectively  twelve  and  ten  years.  The  farm  upon  which  he  settled  is  still  in

Amos  lived  an  active,  busy  hfe,  dying  in  the  year  1822.  His  wife,  Eunice, 
lived  to  the  age  of  86  years.  Dexter  King,  upon  arriving  at  man's  estate,

now  living.  M.  F.,  who  retains  the  homestead,  is  a  very  busy,  active  man, 
possessing  the  regard  of  all  who  know  him.  He  was  the  town  representative 
during  the  years  1862-63. 

Philo  Wilcox,  father  of  Philo  E.  Wilcox,  was  born  at  Goshen,  Conn., 
January  33,  1873.  He  immigrated  to  Benson  in  1788,  where  he  resided 
until  his  death,  which  occurred  August  26,  1865,  aged  82  years  and  seven 
months. 

John  Quincey  Dickinson,  son  of  CorneHa  (Coleman)  Dickinson,  was  born 
in  Benson,  November  19,  1837,  and  was  a  paternal  grandson  of  Capt.  Joel 
Dickinson.  He  was  a  graduate  of  Middlebury  College.  In  1863  he  enlisted 
as  2d  Lieut,  of  Co.  C,  7th  Regiment,  serving  all  through  the  war,  resigning  as 
Capt.  of  Co.  F,  October  10,  1865.  He  afterwards  removed  to  Florida,  where 
he  became  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Senate  of  that.  State.  He  was  assassin- 
ated on  the  3d  of  April,  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.

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,

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 ;

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.

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 


TOWN   OF   BRANDON.  89 


Conant,  a  sister  of  John  Conant,  died  in  June,  1842,  aged  67.  Mr.  Mer- 
riam  was  a  hatter,  but  early  in  the  history  of  the  town  gave  up  the  trade 
entirely,  and  gave  his  whole  attention  to  farming.  He  died  March  26,  1826, 
aged  62.  He  was  an  active  and  useful  member  of  the  Baptist  Church,  of 
which  he  was  for  a  long  time,  and  until  his  death,  a  deacon.  He  was  a 
selectman  several  years,  and  held  various  other  town  offices.  Two  of  his 
sons,  Isaac  and  Jonathan,  became  Baptist  ministers. 

Edward  Cheney  came  to  Brandon  from  Dublin,  N.  H.,  in  1782,  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- 


TOWN   OF   BRANDON. 


91 


tionary  soldier,  serving  in  the  New  Hampshire  Militia,  and  was  at  the  Battle 
of  Bennington.  He  died  on  the  old  homestead  in  Brandon,  on  the  26th  of 
March,  1837,  aged  91.  Of  his  children,  four  now  reside  in  Brandon,  as 
follows :  Stearns  J.  Field,  Burgess  P.  Field,  Caroline  J.  Wing,  (widow  of  S. 
Davis,)  and  Mahala  M.  Baker,  (wife  of  John  L.)  who  now  resides  on  Carver 
street.  His  son,  Paul,  was  killed  by  an  ox,  October  21,  1834.  Stearns  J., 
son  of  Paul,  in  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 


92  TOWN   OF   BRANDON. 


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 


TOWN    OF    BRANDON.  g^ 


died  May  5,  1776,  in  the  426  year  of  his  age.     Also  of  Sarah,  the  wife  of 
John  Ambler,  who  died  July  14,  1785,  in  the  55th  year  of  her  age. 

"pray  Children  call  as  you  pass  by. 
And  learn  by  us  that  you  Must  die  ; 
We  once  in  life  Was  blithe  and  gay, 
but  Now  Are  Mouldering  into  Clay." 

In  Sugar  Hollow,  in  the  south-east  part  of  the  township,  there  is  another 
old  burial  place,  long  since  closed.  Another  was  located  on  the  farm  of 
Abraham  Gilber,  one  of  the  early  settlers,  and  now  in  the  possession  of  A.  S. 
Cook,  Esq.,  is  still  open  for  interments. 

The  burial  ground  in  Brandon  village  was  opened  about  the  year  1793,  and 
has  become  so  full  that  it  is  now  seldom  used  for  interments. 
In  Forestdale  there  is  another  burial  place  often  frequented. 
In  1856  the  Pine  Hill  Cemetery  was  opened  with  appropriate  religious 
ceremonies,  in  connection  with  the  burial  of  Isaac  F.  Merriam,  M.  D.,  the 
first  tenant  of  the  cemetery  proper.  The  ample  and  attractive  grounds  of 
this  cemetery  were  the  gift  of  John  A.  Conant,  Esq.  Recently,  a  Receiving 
Tomb  was  constructed  at  the  expense  of  Mrs.  E.  E.  Marsh,  who  presented  it 
to  the  town. 

In  1877  the  ladies  of  Brandon  village  formed  themselves  into  a  society 
known  as  the  "Ladies  Cemetery  Association,"  for  the  purpose  of  raising  funds 
to  improve  the  cemetery  grounds.  About  $1,300.00  have  been  raised  since 
that  time,  of  which  $900  have  already  been  expended  in  and  about  the  ceme- 
tery, in  building  a  wall,  fountain,  etc.  The  young  ladies  of  the  Association 
procured  three  hundred  dollars,  which  was  used  in  the  purchase  of  gates  for 
the  grounds. 

In  addition  to  those  already  mentioned,  the  Roman  Catholics  have  two 
localities,  more  exclusively  their  own,  pleasantly  situated  and  well  cared 
for. 

St  Thomas  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  located  at  Brandon  village,  was 
organized  June  15,  1839,  by  Royal  Blake,  Benj.  F.  Green,  Charles  Backus, 
Edward  Sherman,  Francis  Webb,  Charles  Webb  and  James  Briggs,  seven 
members  in  all,  Rev.  Josiah  Perry  being  the  first  pastor.  The  parish  had  no 
church  edifice  at  this  time,  but  soon  afterward  bought  the  upper  room  in  the 
old  Town  Hall,  (now  Engle's  Block,)  and  fitted  it  up  for  a  chapel,  with  chan- 
cel, altar,  lecterns  and  organ.  The  congregation  used  this  chapel  until  the 
present  church  edifice  was  erected  (1863).  It  is  built  of  stone,  Gothic  style, 
and  will  seat  comfortably  250  persons,  the  original  cost  being  about  $3,500, 
and  is  now,  together  with  the  grounds,  valued  at  $8,000.  The  parish  at 
present  numbers  about  100  communicants,  with  Rev.  Henry  Bedinger  as 
rector. 

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. 


96  TOWN    OF    BRANDON. 


Brown  for  their  present  pastor.  The  present  church  edifice  was  erected  in 
1874,  and  is  a  commodious  building,  capable  of  seating  350  persons,  and 
cost  $13,000.     The  whole  Church  property  is  now  valued  at  about  $20,000. 

The  Congregational  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. 

West  Castleton,  a  post  village,  located  in  the  north-west  part  of  the  town, 
contains  one  store,  one  church,  one  slate  manufactory  and  about  fifty  dwel- 
lings. 

Castleton  Corners  is  a  hamlet  located  on  the  old  turnpike  from  Lan- 
singburg,  N.  Y.,  to  the  State  hne  at  Poultney,  thence  north  through  Castleton 
to  Sudbury.  It  contains  one  hotel,  one  agricultural  implement  manufactory, 
one  blacksmith  shop  and  about  twenty  to  thirty  dwellings. 

Hydeville,  a  post  village  and  station  on  the  D.  &.  H.  C.  Co.'s  R.  R.,  is 
located  on  the  outlet  of  Lake  Bomoseen.  It  contains  two  churches,  three

CooKviLLE,  a  small  hamlet,  located  on  the  west  shore  of  Lake  Bomoseen, 
contains  one  slate  manufactory  and  about  a  dozen  dwellings. 

The  Lake  Shore  Slate  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-

in  1856.  They  employ  about  35  men  and  manufacture  slate  goods  to  the 
value  of  $25,000  per  annum. 

S.  G.  Bassetfs  saiv-mill,  located  on  North  Hubbardton  River,  was  built 
about  1868,  and  used  an  upright  saw  until  1880,  when  the  mill  was  enlarged 
and  a  circular  saw  added. 

Field  &=  Co! s  marble  and  slate  mill,  located  at  Hydeville,  is  now  (June,

saws.  Freeman  was  born  in  Rutland,  came  to  Castleton  in  1842,  where  for 
the  last  31  years  he  has  been  connected  with  the  firm  of  Sherman  &  Gleason. 

Downs  iS^  Delehanty s  Slate  Works,  located  at  Hydeville,  were  established

May,  1880.     They  employ  about  twenty  men  in  sawing  and  finishing  marble. 


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

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.  I07 


in  1 8 18  came  to  Castleton  in  attendance  upon  the  Rutland  County  Gram-

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 


I 


TOWN    OF    CHITTENDEN.  IO9 


1824,  a  comfortable  structure,  capable  of  seating  about  200  persons.  The 
original  cost  of  the  house  was  $3,000.00,  which,  together  with  the  grounds, 
is  now  valued  at  $5,000.00. 

St.  John's  the  Baptist  Catholic  Church,  located  at  Castleton  village,  was 
organized  in  1834,  by  their  first  pastor,  Rev.  John  Daly,  with  a  membership 
of  fifty,  which  has  since  increased  to  200.  The  present  building  is  a  neat, 
comfortable  structure,  capable  of  seating  about  260  persons,  erected  at  a  cost 
of  $13,000.00,  and  was  converted  into  a  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 


TOWN    OF    CHITTENDEN.  HI 

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. 

/.  6r  A.  Baird's  saw  mill,  located  on  road  20,  is  operated  by  water- 
power,  has  one  large  circular  saw  and  manufactures  5,000  feet  of  lumber  per 
day. 

T.  B.  &=  M.  L.  Cheedle's  saw  mill,  located  on  road  9,  is  operated  by 
water-power  and  manufactures  about  400,000  feet  of  lumber  per  annum. 

Naylor  6r  Co's  saw  mill,  located  on  road  5,  is  operated  by  water-power. 
It  has  one  lumber  saw  and  five  small  saws  for  slitting  boards,  etc.,  and 
employs  four  men,  manufacturing  50,000  feet  of  lumber  per  annum. 

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 


114  TOWN   OF   CLARENDON. 


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

Nathaniel  Ladd  was  the  first  town  clerk,  from  March  1789  to  1790.  Na- 
than Nelson,  2d,  from  1790  to  '93;  then  John  Coe,  from  1793  to  1813 — 20 
years;  David  Wadsworth,  from  18 14  to  '16;  Warren  Barnard,  1816  to '18; 
Wolcott  H.  Keeler,  1818  to  1822;  Jonas  Wheeler,  1822  to  '24;  Wolcott  H. 
Keeler,  1824  to '28;  Moses  Randall,  1828  to  the  14th  of  November,  1843, 
when  he  died;  Alvin  Pvandall  served  till  March,  1844;  Capen  Leonard,  Jr., 
till  March,  1847,  three  years;  Chauncey  Taylor,  from  1847  to  1854;  Alvin 
Randall,  1854  to  '56;  Reuben  Harris,  1856  to  '71,  fifteen  years;  H.  F. 
Baird,  to  the  present  time.  Two  senators,  both  of  whom  were  born  and 
educated  in  Chittenden,  have  represented  the  county  in  the  State  Legislature, 
with  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. 


IPILARENDON  comprises  within  its  limits  a  part  of  the  two  New  York 
^^  grants  of  Socialborough  and  Durham.  No  settler  located  in  the  town 
^If  whose  lands  were  long  held  under  cither  of  these  grants,  the  lands  be- 
ing all  held,  however,  under  the  charter  issued  by  Gov.  Wentworth,  of  New 
Hampshire,  dated  September  5th,  1761.  It  contains  23,600  acres,  located 
near  the  centre  of  the  county,  in  lat.  43""  31'  and  long.  4"  6',  and  was  divided 


TOWN   OF   CLARENDON.  I15 


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

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.

and  was  one  of  the  nine  who  went  from  Clarendon  with  Lieut.  Hall,  to  sur-

on  the  farm  now  owned  by  his  great-grandson,  N.  S.  Walker,  where  he 
resided  until  his  death,  in  1813.  Mr.  Walker  was  a  member  of  the  Baptist 
Church,  and  highly  esteemed  by  all  who  knew  him.  Lewis  Walker,  Jr.,  was 
born  in  Clarendon,  on  the  homestead  of  his  father,  Jan.  34,  1781.  He  was 
selectman  several  years,  town  treasurer  and  justice  of  the  peace  for  more 
than  twenty  years,  and  represented  the  town  in  the  Legislature  two  years.

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.

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 


TOWN    OF   DANBY.  ^25 


paid  in  land.  This  was  the  same  route  now  used  as  a  highway,  leading  from 
Danby  to  West  Dorset,  across  the  mountain,  and  was  for  a  long  time  the 
only  road  leading  to  the  township,  and  accounts  for  this  part  of  Danby 
being  settled  first.  At  the  annual  meeting  on  the  second  Tuesday  of  March, 
1764"^  held  in  Amenia  Precinct,  N.  Y.,  the  proprietors  agreed  to  donate 
land  from  the  undivided  portion  of  the  township,  to  the  person  or  persons 
who  would  make  the  first  settlement.  As  yet  no  clearing  had  been  made, 
and  no  attempts  were  made  at  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 


TOWN    OF    DANBY. 


127 


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.

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

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-

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.

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.

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.

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 


TOWN    OF    HUBBARDTON.  I4I 


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  : —

In  the  spring  of  1786  a  school-house  was  built,  and  here  the  Word  of  God 


144  TOWN    OF    IRA. 


was  preached  until  December  1787,  when  the  people  turned  out  and  built  a 
log  meeting-house,  at  what  is  now  East  Hubbardton.  It  was  large,  well  sup- 
plied with  benches,  and  seats  on  the  sides  for  the  singers.  At  one  end  was  a 
platform  and  a  sort  of  desk  for  the  preacher,  while  at  the  other  end  was  a  wide 
stone  back  for  a  fire-place,  with  a  large  chimney  above,  built  of  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.

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 


148 


TOWN    OF    MENDON. 


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;

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."

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 


154  TOWN   OF   MIDDLETOWN. 


of  tons  of  dirt  and  debris.  Their  history  was  almost  lost,  and  they  existed 
only  in  tradition.  Young  men  and  maidens  grew  to  manhood  and  woman- 
hood— to  old  age;  saw  their  grandchildren  rise  up  to  take  their  places,  and 
after  more  than  half  a  century,  in  1868,  another  flood  sent  the  Poultney 
River  over  its  banks,  and  by  a  freak  of  nature  it  undid  what  it  had  before 
done,  and  so  cutting  through  the  deposit  of  dirt  and  gravel,  these  healing 
fountains  were  again  uncovered.  Now  the  country  is  cleared.  The  woods 
have  been  swept  back  to  the  hill  tops,  and  a  numerous  and  busy  population 
surrounds  them,  while  hundreds  come  many  miles  each  year  to  drink  of  the 
healthful  waters. 

The  Montvert  Hotel,  connected  with  the  Springs  property,  an  elegant  and 
commodious  house,  passed  into  the  hands  of  A.  W.  Gray's  Sons,  and  by  them 
was  last  spring  sold  to  the  Montvert  Hotel  Company,  Limited,  with  Thos.  B. 
Wilson  Esq.,  of  New  York,  one  of  the  company,  as  manager.  The  house 
has  been  thoroughly  refurnished,  and  fitted  in  first  class  style,  and  on  July 
4th,  was  formerly  opened  with  a  grand  celebration  and  display  of  fire-works 
in  the  evening. 

A.  W.  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.

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.

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- 
bers, with  Rev.  Chas.  Boylon  as  pastor.  The  edifice  was  erected  m  1875  at 
a  cost  of  $4,000.00,  and  is  capable  of  seating  225  persons.  Rev.  J.  C. 
McLaughlin  is  the  present  pastor,  with  a  membership  of  80  families. 


164  TOWN   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. 


1 68  TOWN   OF   PAWLET. 


West  Pawlet,  a  post  village  and  R.  R.  station,  located  in  the  west  part  of 
the  town,  on  the  Rutland  and  Washington  R.  R.,  contains  four  stores,  two 
hotels,  one  grist-mill,  two  churches,  (Baptist  and  Christian,)  one  wagon  shop,  a 
harness  shop,  two  blacksmith  shops,  and  several  large  stone-quarries. 

North  Pawlet  is  a  small  hamlet  located  in  the  north-west  part  of  the 
town,  near  Indian  Hill,  containing  about  a  dozen  dwellings. 

Andreui's  sa7£i  mill  and  cheese  box  manufactory,  located  at  Pawlet,  is 
operated  by  steam  power  and  manufactures  125,000  or  more  cheese  boxes, 
and  saws  about  300,000  feet  of  lumber  per  annum. 

J.  Q.  Adams'  grisi-?nill,  located  on  Flower  Brook,  upon  the  site  of  the  first 
grist-mill  ever  erected  in  the  town,  was  built  by  Mr.  Adams  in  1881,  and  has 
two  runs  of  stones. 

JV.  Robinson's  carriage  manufactory,  located  on  road  22,  was  established 
by  the  present  proprietor  in  1850.  He  now  employs  five  men  in  the  manufac- 
ture of  wagons,  carriages  and  sleighs. 

M.  P.  Damon  &*  Co.'s  fork  handle  and  baby  carriage-stock  manufactory, 
located  at  Pawlet,  was  established  by  Mr.  Damon  in  Oct.  1873,  and  employs 
six  men,  manufacturing  about  60,000  hoe  handles,  and  stock  for  30,000  baby 
carriages  per  annum. 

H.  W.  Edgerton's  apiary,  located  near  the  central  part  of  the  town,  on  road 
12,  was  estabhshed  in  1875,  since  which  time  he  has  been  increasing  the

Edward  to  the  east,  to  dislodge  a  body  of  French  and  Indians  who  were  lurk- 
ing in  the  vicinity  of  Lake  St.  Catherine.  The  battle  or  skirmish  is  supposed

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.

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 

—I'i 


178  TOWN   OF   PITTSFORD. 


cost  $2,615;  but  the  value  of  the  church  property  has  since  decreased, 
so  that  the  whole  property  is  now  valued  at  only  $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 


TOWN   OF   PITTSFORD. 


marble  used  for  monuments  and  building  purposes  at  that  early  day  was  taken 
from  this  quarry. 

The  town  records  were  accidentally  destroyed  by  fire  at  an  early  date,  so 
it  is  not  known  just  at  what  time  the  town  was  organized,  but  probably  about 
the  year  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. 
Pittsford  Company,   1778 — Capt.,  Benjamin  Cooley;    Lieut., 
Moses  Olmsted;    Ensign,    James    Hopkins;  Sergeants,  Silas

Barnes;  Corporals,  J  as.  Stevens,  Asahel  Stevens,  Aaron  Parsons. 
Erected  by  the  town  of  Pittsford,  dedicated  Aug.   28,   1873. 
Caleb  Houghton,   born  at  Bolton,  Mass.,  1780,   member

half  mile  south,  July   15,   1780.      His  re- 
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 


TOWN    OF    POULTNEY.  I  §3 


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.

Ross,  in  a  small  way  in  1872.  He  has  since  added  to  his  stock  from  time  to 
time  until  he  now  has  one  of  the  finest  nurseries  in  this  part  of  the  State. 
They  cover  an  area  of  a  number  of  acres,  containing  from  forty  to  fifty 
thousand  grafted  and  budded  trees. 

Beatnan's  Hotel,  pleasantly  located  on  Main  street,  corner  of  Beaman,  was

present  proprietor,  Mr.  C.  C.  Beaman. 

The  Poultney  House,  very  pleasantly  located  at  this  village,  with  accommo- 
dations for  seventy-five  guests,  was  built  and  used  as  a  store  nearly  forty  years

used  as  an  hotel. 

The  Poultney  Cemetery  is  very  beautifully  situated  in  the  east  part  of  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

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 
Congregational  Church.  The  houses  occupied  by  Stephen  Scott  and  Mr.  C. 
Ross,  were  built  by  John  and  Josiah  Grant  about  the  year  1800.  The  old

The  Lake  I'ieta  House,  located  on  Lake  St.  Catherine,  about  three  miles

guests.  The  building  is  handsomely  located  in  a  pine  grove  on  the  shore  of 
the  lake,  affording  a  fine  view  of  this  popular  summer  resort.  In  connection 
with  the  hotel  are  three  pleasant  cottages.  The  property  is  owned  and  under 
the  management  of  Mr.  P.  J.  Grifiith.

The  town-farm  is  situated  in  the  north-east  part  of  the  town,  on  road  31, 
and  contains  275  acres,  with  a  building  30  by  40  feet,  with  an  addition.  Dur- 
ing the  winter  of  188 1  the  farm  had  from  fifteen  to  seventeen  inmates,  under 
the  management  of  James  T.  Ballard. 

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. 
Ashley  remained  on  his  farm  until  his  death,  in  18 10. 

Later  in  the  season  of  1771,  Allen  and  Ashley  were  followed  by  the  families 
of  Elijah  and  John  Owen,  Isaac  Ashley  and  Nehemiah  Howe.  From  this 
time  immigration  was  quite  rapid,  so  that  in  1777  there  were  over  thirty  fam- 
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.

The  infant  colony  became  scattered,  however,  on  the  invasion  of  Burgoyne 
in  the  summer  of  1777,  being  all  driven  off  by  his  army  and  the  Indians  ; 
most  of  the  men  joining  the  American  forces,  where  several  of  them  became 
noted. 

The  first  town  meeting  on  record  was  held  March  8,  1775,  with  Zebulon 
Richards,  moderator.  Heber  Allen  was  chosen  town  clerk,  and  Nehemiah 
Howe,  Zebulon  Richards  and  Cotton  Fletcher,  selectmen  ;  Isaac  Ashley,  con- 
stable, and  John  Ashley,  tithing  man.  This  was  the  first  regular  town  meet- 
ing, though  meetings  had  been  held  as  early  as  April,  1772,  one  year  after 
the  first  settlement,  at  which  Samuel  Howe  was  chosen  moderator.  Much 
that  would  throw  light  upon  the  obscurity  that  now  envelops  the  proceedings 
of  the  early  settlers,  was  burned  with  the  town  clerk's  office  in  East  Poultney, 
January  9,  1862. 

The  first  grist-mill  was  built  by  Nehemiah  Howe,  some  httle  time  before 
1777,  at  the  falls  where  the  east  village  now  stands.  Previous  to  this  the 
settlers  were  obliged  to  carry  their  grain  to  Manchester  to  get  it  ground,  a 
distance  of  thirty  miles,  until  a  mill  was  erected  in  Pawlet.  The  first  burial 
ground  was  started  in  1773,  by  the  interment  of  Joel  Grannis,  who  was 
frozen  to  death  while  lost  in  the  forest,  and  the  first  death  that  occurred  in 
the  town.  This  burial  ground  is  the  present  cemetery  located  on  Main  street, 
a  little  east  of  the  east  village.

Ward  was  the  first  Representative  of  the  town,  holding  the  office  eighteen 
consecutive  years,  and  in  all  served  more  terms  than  any  other  man  that  ever 
resided  in  the  town;  was  judge  of  probate  twenty-two  years,  and  justice  of 
the  peace  over  forty  years.  He  died  August  3d,  1819,  at  the  age  of  76 
years.     His  wife  died  January  6th,  1846,  aged  98  years.

with  his  family  to  Poultney,  locating  where  the  east  village  stands,  upon  the 
farm  now  occupied  in  part  by  his  grandson,  Harvey  Marshall,  and  which 
has  never  been  owned  out  of  the  Marshall  family.  Ichabod  died  in  Novem- 
ber, 1792.     His  widow  died  in  October,  1836.

always  been  kept  in  the  Lewis  family.  Josiah  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier ; 
was  in  the  battle  of  Hubbardton,  and  at  the  taking  of  Ticonderoga.  He  died

192  TOWN    OF    POULTNEY. 


In  1848  he  sent  to  Wales  for  25  practical  slate  workers;  he  operated  a  quarry 
for  many  years,  employing  from  30  to  50  men. 

Dan  Tond,  first  son  of  Philip,  born  March  4,  1726,  at  Bradford,  Conn.,  re- 
moved from  Stockbridge,  Mass.,  to  Poultney,  in  1782,  locating  with  a  portion 
of  his  family  on  "Pond  Hill."  He  had  fifteen  children — 13  sons  and  two 
daughters.  All  but  one  (PhiHp)  lived  to  have  families.  Dan  died  May  27, 
1783,  aged  56  years,  and  is  buried  in  the  East  Poultney  Cemetery.  Asahel, 
Jr.,  fifth  son  of  Major  Asahel,  and  grandson  to  Dan,  was  born  May  20,  1807, 
married  Calista  Hartwell  and  removed  to  Castleton,  where  he  still  resides  on 
the  shore  of  Lake  Bomoseen. 

The  Congregational  Church  at  East  Poultney  was  organized  by  their  first 
pastor.  Rev.  Thomas  Hibbard,  in  1780,  the  first  church  society  and  the  first 
settled  minister  in  the  town.  The  first  church  building  was  erected  in  1783, 
and  used  by  the  society  until  1803,  when  the  present  edifice  was  erected;  it 
is  a  pleasantly  located,  neat  structure,  with  a  seating  capacity  of  400,  and 
valued  at  $4,000.00.  The  society  now  numbers  about  66  members,  with  the 
Rev.  Calvin  Granger,  pastor. 

The  First  Baptist  Church,  located  at  Poultney  village,  was  organized  in 
1782,  by  the  society's  first  pastor.  Rev.  Clark  Kendrick,  with  twelve  mem- 
bers. The  first  building  was  erected  in  1802,  followed  by  the  present  edifice, 
which  will  seat  300  persons,  in  1868.  The  church  property  is  now  valued  at 
about  $5,000.00,  the  society  having  in  its  treasury  a  fund  of  $r, 000.00  and  a 
membership  of  148. 

The  Poultney  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  located  on  Main  street,  was 
organized  by  Rev.  Seymour  Landon,  who  was  also  the  first  pastor,  in  1822, 
A  house  of  worship  was  erected  the  same  year,  which  did  service  until  1841, 
when  the  present  building  was  erected,  costing  about  $12,000.00,  and  will 
comfortably  seat  600  persons.  The  society  now  numbers  150  members,  with 
Rev.  W.  H.  Rowsom,  M.  A.,  pastor. 

The  East  Poultney  Baptist  Church  was  organized  in  1805  by  the  society's 
first  pastor.  Rev.  Clark  Kendrick,  and  a  building  erected  the  same  year 
which  will  seat  500  persons,  and  is  now  valued,  including  grounds,  at 
$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 
by  the  society's  first  pastor.  Rev.  T.  Lynch,  in  1864,  and  then  numbered 
eighty  members.     During  that  year  the  present  edifice  was  erected  at  a  cost

of  $3,000.00,  and  will  comfortably  seat  200  persons.  The  society  now  num- 
bers 200,  under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  P.  J.  O'Carroll,  its  property  being 
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 


194  TOWN   OF   RUTLAND. 


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- 


1 98  TOWN   OF   RUTLAND. 


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 


TOWN   OF   RUTLAND. 


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, 
Clement,  president;  John  N.  Woodfin,  treasurer,  and  O.  F. 
sistant  treasurer. 

Educational. 


1 88 1,  with  a 
with  Charles 
Harrison,  as- 


Under   an  Act  of  the   Legislature  of  Vermont  in   1841,   a  union  district 
was  formed  in  the  village  of  Rutland  by  the  consent  of  the  four  districts,  and 


(The  Rutland  High  School.) 

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- 

—14:

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, 
one  of  the  Tories  exclaimed : — "  That  is  the  weapon  that  spoke  so  often  last 
night,  and  with  such  deadly  effect ! "  The  old  musket  is  still  in  possession  of 
his  grandson,  Daniel.     Elijah  W.,  son  of  Elijah,  and  his  sister,  Mrs.  Sheldon, 


214  TOWN   OF   RUTLAND 


are  still  living,  P21ijah  on  the  old  homestead,  and  Mrs.  Sheldon  near  the 
Congregational  church,  at  West  Rutland.  J.  Q.,  son  of  E.  W.,  has  many 
curious  papers  that  were  the  property  of  his  great  great-grandfather,  some  of 
them  bearing  date  as  far  back  as  1733.  Capt.  John  Smith  died  in  1807, 
honored  and  respected  by  all. 

Capt.  Joseph  Bowker  was  one  of  the  trusted  men  of  the  town  and  State 
in  their  early  days,  was  president  of  the  several  conventions  for  the  formation 
of  the  State,  held  in  1776,  of  those  that  declared  the  State  independent  and 
framed  the  State  Constitution  in  1777.  He  was  afterwards  a  member  of  the 
Governor's  Council,  and  held  other  honorable  and  responsible  positions.  He 
died  at  Rutland  in  1784. 

Ichabod  Walker,  from  Massachusetts,  emigrated  to  Rutland  in.1771, 
settUng  upon  a  farm  about  where  the  old  court  house  used  to  stand,  on 
Main  street,  in  Rutland  village.  He  was  driven  from  his  home  at  the  com- 
mencement of  the  Revolution,  and  when  he  returned  to  the  county,  resided 
in  Clarendon. 

Gideon  Walker,  from  Coventry,  Mass.,  settled  in  Clarendon  in  1768. 
About  four  years  later  he  removed  to  Rutland,  settling  near  Otter  Creek,  on 
the  present  Baxter  farm.  At  the  time  of  the  retreat  from  Ticonderoga,  his 
wife  and  four  children  fled  to  New  Providence,  now  Cheshire,  Mass.,  remain- 
ing there  with  Lewis  Walker,  a  cousin  of  her  husband,  who  afterwards  re- 
moved to  Clarendon. 

Daniel  Walker,  brother  to  Gideon,  came  to  the  county  about  the  time 
Gideon  did,  settling  in  Clarendon.  Daniel  married  an  Enghsh  lady,  Mary 
Young,  through  whose  influence  he  espoused  the  cause  of  the  British,  for 
which  his  property  was  confiscated,  and  he  removed  to  Canada.  Gideon 
died  at  an  advanced  age,  leaving  numerous  descendants,  many  of  whom  now 
reside  at  Whiting,  Addison  County. 

Benjamin  Capron  settled  in  the  township  at  an  early  date,  was  the  father 
often  children,  and  died  in  1815,  aged  63.  Benj.  Jr.,  was  born  in  Rutland 
in  1786,  and  died  August  4,  1859.  The  Caprons'have  numerous  descend- 
ants residing  in  the  county. 

Phineas  Kingsley,  from  Beckett,  Mass.,  moved  to  Rutland  in  1773,  settling 
upon  the  place  where  the  Osgood  family  now  reside,  on  road  18,  cor.  17. 
During  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  his  relatives  in  Sudbury  feeling  unsafe 
there,  brought  their  famihes  to  Rutland,  and  persuaded  Mr.  Kingsley  to  take 
the  women  and  children  to  Massachusetts.  While  in  Massachusetts  he  lost 
his  wife  and  child,  after  which  he  returned  to  Rutland,  where  he  died  at  an 
advanced  age,  honored  and  respected.  Gershom  C.  Ruggles,  now  residing 
in  Rutland  village,  at  the  age  of  71,  is  a  grandson  of  Mr.  Kingsley. 

Jonathan  Reynolds,  from  Nine  Partners,  removed  to  Rutland  at  an  early 
date,  purchasing  275  acres  of  land  from  James  Mead,  for  ^300  (Colonial 
pounds.)  The  same  farm,  or  a  portion  of  it,  is  now  in  the  possession  of  J. 
Grafton  Griggs.     During  the  Revolution  Mr.  Reynolds  served  as  a  lieutenant. 


TOWN   OF   RUTLAND.  2I5 


He  was  a  great  trapper  and  hunter.  While  hunting  one  day  in  company 
with  a  neighbor,  they  shot  an  otter.  In  dividing  the  game,  the  neighbor 
remarked: — "  I  will  give  you  that  fifteen  acres  lying  above  your  house  for 
your  share  of  that  otter."  Mr.  R.  accepted  the  offer.  That  fifteen  acres  is 
now  valued  at  $2,000.  Mr.  Reynolds  died  in  1840,  lacking  sixteen  days  of 
being  100  years  of  age. 

John  Johnson,  from  Connecticut,  came  to  Rutland  in  April,  1773,  locating 
on  what  is  now  known  as  the  Zina  Johnson  place,  where  he  resided  until  his 
death,  at  an  advanced  age.  In  1866  Cyrus  L.  Johnson  took  down  an  old 
barn  on  the  place,  built  in  1790,  using  the  beams  in  the  construction  of  a 
new  one.  They  were  white  oak,  thirty  feet  long,  and  split  so  that  one  cut 
made  two  beams  10x14  inches. 

Deacon  VVaite  Chatterton,  from  Connecticut,  immigrated  to  Rutland  in 
1 77 1,  settUng  upon  the  farm  now  owned  by  William  H.  Johnson.  By  his 
wife,  Susannah  Dickerman,  he  had  seven  children — Exi  L.,  Sally,  Susan,  Mary, 
Samuel  and  Benning — all  of  whom  resided  in  the  township.  The  fifth  gen- 
eration now  resides  on  the  old  homestead,  it  never  having  been  owned  out  of 
the  family.  Waite  died  in  May,  1837.  Waite,  son  of  Exi,  was  born  on  the 
old  place  in  1806,  living  here  until  his  death.  He  was  a  deacon  of  the  Con- 
gregational Church  at  West  Rutland  and  a  very  influential  citizen. 

Amos  Hines  came  to  Rutland,  from  Rhode  Island,  among  the  earliest  set- 
tlers, locating  upon  the  present  Russell  place,  on  road  26,  where  he  died  at  an 
advanced  age.  Laura  Hines,  now  Hving  in  Rutland,  at  the  age  of  81,  is  a 
granddaughter  of  Amos. 

Benjamin  Farmer,  Jr.,  came  to  Rutland  previous  to  the  Revolution,  and 
bought  a  tract  of  land  on  road  31,  near  the  Mendon  line.  He  afterwards 
built  in  Mendon  upon  the  same  farm,  and  was  later  the  first  Representative 
from  that  town.  Benjamin,  Sen.,  settled  near  his  son,  being  at  the  time  80 
years  of  age.  He  died  there  at  the  age  of  90.  Benjamin,  Jun.,  died  at  the 
age  of  98,  and  was  buried  in  the  family  burying-ground,  near  where  EH 
Farmer  now  resides,  on  road  26.  Eli,  a  grandson  of  Benjamin,  is  now  a  hale, 
hearty  old  gentleman  of  8;^. 

Daniel  Greeno  came  to  Rutland  from  Boston,  Mass.,  previous  to  the  war 
of  the  Revolution,  locating  in  the  north-eastern  part  of  the  township,  where 
he  resided  14  years  on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Eugene  Thomas.  But  the 
title  proving  poor,  he  located  where  Amasa  Greeno  now  resides,  on  road  26. 
Up  to  the  time  of  the  Revolution  matters  were  in  a  very  unsettled  condition, 
he  being  several  times  driven  from  his  farm,  when  he  would  take  refuge  in 
Bennington.  Both  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Greeno  were  in  Bennington  at  the  time  of 
the  battle,  he  shouldering  his  gun  and  fighting  bravely  in  the  cause  of  the 
Colonies.  Mrs.  Greeno  remained  in  Bennington  several  weeks  after  the  bat- 
tle, caring  for  the  wounded.  Mr.  Greeno  kept  a  tavern  many  years  where 
Amasa  now  resides,  the  house  he  now  occupies  having  been  built  in  1795, 
although  it  has  undergone  many  repairs.     He  was  the  father  of  ten  children, 


2l6  TOWN    OF   RUTLAND. 


eight  boys  and  two  girls,  all  of  whom  attained  the  age  of  maturity,  were  all 
married  and  had  families.  Of  his  grandchildren  four  still  reside  in  the  town- 
ship. Amasa  A. ;  Benjamin  R.,  on  road  26;  Betsey  L.  Greeno,  and  Medora 
V.  H.  Pond,  at  Rutland  village. 

Joseph  Kimball,  one  of  Rutland's  early  settlers,  located  on  road  24,  where 
Ira  Hawley  now  resides.  His  daughter,  Betsey,  married  Abijah  Hawley^ 
also  an  early  settler.  Abijah  was  father  to  Andrew,  who  died  in  1879,  i^^  his 
67th  year.  The  farm  has  never  been  owned  out  of  the  family  since  it  was 
first  located  upon  by  them. 

Timothy  Boardman  came  from  Middletown,  Conn.,  to  Rutland,  in  1783, 
locating  on  Boardman  Hill,  where  Samuel  Boardman  now  resides.  In  1790 
he  built  the  house  now  occupied  by  Patrick  Kinney.  It  is  still  in  a  good 
state  of  preservation,  the  clapboards  and  window-sash  being  the  same  that  were 
first  used  in  its  construction.  In  1783  Mr.  Boardman  returned  to  Conn.,  and 
was  married  to  Mary  Ward,  returning  to  Vermont  with  her  immediately  after 
the  ceremony.  During  the  Revolutionary  war  Mr.  B.  served  in  the  navy,  was 
captured  in  the  West  Indies,  and  held  a  prisoner  for  six  months  on  the 
island  of  Eau  Statia.  He  died  at  an  advanced  age,  honored  by  all.  His 
son,  Elijah,  was  born  in  1792,  residing  on  the  old  homestead  until  his  death, 
in  1783.  Elijah  was  deacon  of  the  Congregational  Church  at  West  Rutland 
for  a  period  of  over  fifty  years,  and  was  perhaps  more  famihar  with  the  his- 
tory of  its  growth  and  progress  than  any  other  person  in  the  town. 

Joseph  Humphrey  was  born  in  Winchester,  N.  "H.,  in  1768.  In  1783  im- 
migrated to  Rutland,  and  commenced  work  for  Isaac  Chatterton  and  others. 
The  first  work  he  did  in  the  town  was  on  the  old  county  jail  at  Rutland 
village,  now  the  residence  of  George  E.  Lawrence.  About  the  year  1790  he 
purchased  sixty  acres  of  land  of  John  Sutherland,  where  R.  S.  Humphrey 
now  resides,  for  which  he  paid  "^60  lawful  money."  Soon  after,  he  mar- 
ried Hannah  Parmalee,  of  Pittsford,  and  moved  into  an  old  log  house  on  his 
farm,  which  had  long  been  abandoned,  a  sumac,  four  inches  in  diameter,  hav- 
ing grown  in  the  old  fire-place,  extending  up  the  chimney.  In  1793  he  built 
a  barn,  which  is  now  standing  in  good  repair.  The  following  year  he  com- 
menced building  a  frame  house,  in  which  they  resided  until  1826,  when  the 
present  brick  house  was  built  by  his  son,  William,  into  which  he  soon  after 
moved  with  him,  and  where  he  resided  until  his  death,  in  1851,  at  the  age  of 
83.  On  this  farm  the  Columbian  Marble  Go's  quarry  was  opened  by  Mr. 
Humphrey  in  1836,  being  one  of  the  first  quarries  opened  in  the  township. 

Jabez  Ward,  from  New  Marlboro,  Mass.,  came  to  Rutland  in  1784,  locating 
upon  the  farm  now  owned  by  William  Gilmore,  on  road  i.  Mr.  Ward  was

business  of  a  blacksmith  at  Centre  Rutland,  and  Lorenzo  early  learned  to 
make  himself  useful  in  his  father's  shop.  Subsequently  the  family  moved 
upon  a  farm,  north  of  what  is  now  known  as  West  Rutland  village.  Lorenzo 
early  manifested  a  desire  to  study  medicine,  and  eventually  the  way  was 
opened  for  him  to  attend  the  Academy  of  Medicine  at  Castleton,  Vt.,  where 
he  continued  his  studies  until  his  graduation,  January  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 
continued  one  year,  when  Dr.  Shaw  removed  to  Clarendon  Springs,  leaving 
young  Dr.  Sheldon  to  practice  independently.  After  a  few  years,  induce- 
ments were  held  out  to  secure  his  removal  to  Waddington,  St.  Lawrence 
County,  N.  Y.,  to  which  place  he  removed  in  1826,  but  only  remained  two 
years,  when  he  returned  to  Rutland  in  1828.  In  the  year  following  he  was

partnership  with  Mr.  Wm.  F.  Barnes,  and  commenced  the  marble  business, 


222  TOWN   OF   RUTLAND. 


then  in  its  infancy.  At  one  time  this  company  owned  the  entire  marble  de- 
posit from  the  present  Sheldons  &  Slason,  north.  Dr.  Sheldon,  at  a  later 
date,  became  senior  member  of  the  firm  of  Sheldons  &  Slason,  continuing  his 
connection  with  this  firm  till  1865,  when  he  sold  out  and  ceased  to  have  any 
connection  with  the  marble  business ;  but  he  continued  to  have  large  inter- 
ests in  real  estate,  which  absorbed  a  considerable  portion  of  his  time  through 
the  remainder  of  his  life.  He  died  at  12  o'clock  on  Sabbath  morning,  Sep- 
tember 5,  1880,  in  his  80th  year,  and  was  buried  amidst  the  universal  expres- 
sions of  personal  loss,  by  a  people  who  had  known  and  honored  him  from 
childhood. 

William  F.  Barnes,  the  pioneer  of  the  marble  interests  of  West  Rutland,  was 
born  in  Pittsford,  January  17,  1806.  His  parents  emigrated  to  the  West 
during  his  boyhood,  but  Mr.  B.  chose  to  remain  behind,  and  took  up  his 
residence  with  Elijah  Boardman,  in  West  Rutland.  The  labors  and  specula- 
tions of  his  younger  days  were  confined  entirely,  then,  to  this  section,  and 
exhibited  that  wonderful  energy,  tact  and  endurance  which  made  him  re- 
markable through  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, 


224  TOWN   OF   RUTLAND. 


then  of  New  York,  but  now  of  Rutland.  Mr.  Dorr  is  well  known  to  the 
people  of  his  adopted  State  as  a  legislator  of  prominence  and  ability.  "  The 
Maples,"  their  home,  on  the  banks  of  Otter  Creek,  just  outside  the  corporate 
limits  of  Rutland  village,  is  one  of  the  notable  residences  of  this  beautiful 
town.  Mrs.  Dorr  is  too  well  known  as  an  authoress,  to  require  special  men- 
tion here.  She  began  to  write  at  an  early  date,  but  had  none  of  her  pro- 
ductions placed  in  print  until  the  year  1848  ;  since  that  time  a  number  of  her 
poems  have  appeared  in  the  best  magazines  of  the  day,  and  been  widely 
copied  at  home  and  abroad,  while  she  has  also  given  to  the  public  several 
novels  and  a  choice  edition  of  her  poems,  all  of  which  have  been  very  suc- 
cessful, winning  for  her,  and  with  justice,  the  soubriquet  of  "  Vermont's 
Poetess." 

Ruth  Field,  widow  of  Nathaniel,  now  97  years  of  age,  resides  with  her 
son,  Wm.  M.  Field,  corner  Centre  and  Main  streets,  and  displays  an  unusual 
degree  of  vigor  for  one  of  that  age. 

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 


TOWN    OF    RUTLAND.  22J^ 


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 : — 

William  Roberts, 

Died  November,  1788, 

Aged  about  70  Years. 

A  short  time  before  his  death  Mr.  Roberts 
gave  this  ground  to  the  Congre- 
gational Society  for  a 
burial  place,  and 
his  own   body 
was  the  first 
here  buried. 


This  Monument  is  erected   by  some 
of  the  members  of  the  Society 
as  a  token  of  respect 
to  his  memory. 

The  present  house  of  worship  was  completed  and  dedicated  on  the  30th  o 
May,  1855,  and  is  a  large  comfortable  structure,  capable  of  seating  600  per- 
sons, and  cost  $18,000,  about  its  present  value  including  grounds.  The 
society  now  numbers  248  members,  under  the  pastorate  of  Rev.  John  K. 
Williams. 

The  Congregational  Church  of  Rutland,  the  first  religious  society  estab- 
lished in  the  township,  was  organized  on  the  20th  day  of  October,  1773,  three 
years  after  the  settlement  of  the  town,  by  a  small  company  assembled  at  the 
house  of  their  first  pastor,  Rev.  Benajah  Roots,  formerly  pastor  of  the  First 
Church  of  Simsbury,  Connecticut,  and  consisting  of  the  following  named 
members  :—Ebenezer  Hopkins,  Samuel  Crippen,  David  Hawley,  William 
Roberts,  Charles  Brewster,  Abraham  Jackson,  John  Moses,  Enos  Ives,  Joseph 
Bowker,  Jehiel  Andrews,  Sarah  Bowker,  Sarah  Andrews,  Anna  Ives  and  Me- 
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.

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 


TOWN    OF    RUTLAND. 


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

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 
Gagne,  1870,  with  a  membership  of  800.  The  present  edifice  was  erected 
during  the  same  year,  at  a  cost  of  $6,000.00,  and  will  seat  500  persons,  now 
valued,  including  grounds,  at  $8,000.00.  The  society  also  has  a  branch 
church  at  West  Rutland,  bearing  the  same  name  and  organized  the  same 
year,  having  350  members,  and  a  church  building  that  will  accommodate  300 
persons  and  cost  $3,000.00. 

Convent. 

The  Convent  of  our  Lady  of  Vermont,  situated  on  West  street,  is  an  insti- 
tution directed  by  the  Sisters  of  the  Holy  Names  of  Jesus  and  Mary.  They 
came  to  Rutland  in  January,  1870,  locating  on  Main  street,  where  they  re- 
mained until  June,  1874,  when  they  removed  to  their  present  location,  hav- 
ing purchased  the  premises.  Their  course  of  study  is  the  same  as  in  the 
Mother  House,  at  Hochelaga,  Montreal,  and  comprises  the  various  branches 
of  a  solid,  useful  and  ornamental  education. 


|»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. 

Charles  C.  Willard's  saw  and  grist-mill,  located  in  the  western  part  of 
the  town,   on   one  of  the   tributaries  of  the    Quechee,  called   Thundering 


TOWN   OF   SHERBURNE.  23 1 


Brook,  has  one  run  of  stones  and  manufactures   2,000  feet  of  lumber  per 
day.  ',  Jir 

Owen  W.  Bates'  saw-milL  also  located  on  Thundering  Brookj-has  the 
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. 
Cold  River,  the  next  in   size,  rises  in  the  central  part  of  the  town,  flows  a

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.

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

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 


TOWN    OF    SHREWSBURY.  237 


and  in  the  evening  at  the  usual  time  for  them  to  return,  were  not  to  be 
found.  So,  early  on  the  following  morning,  Jeffrey,  taking  his  dinner  with 
him,  started  off  in  search  of  them.  He  tracked  them  through  the  forest  a 
distance  of  forty  miles,  and  at  last  found  them  near  the  source  of  Black 
River.  During  the  tramp  through  the  forest,  Mr.  Barney  lost  his  dinner,  so 
had  nothing  to  eat  until  he  had  returned  on  his  journey  as  far  as  the  "  Port 
Wine  Tavern  "  in  Cavendish,  a  distance  of  twenty  miles.  Thus  Mr.  Barney 
had  a  walk  of  sixty  miles  with  no  refreshments. 

Benedict  Webber's  was  the  fifth  family  that  moved  to  the  town,  settling 
here  in  1780.  Mr.  Webber's  mother,  widow  of  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., 


TOWN    OF    SUDBURY.  243 


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, 


TOWN    OF    TINMOUTH.  245 


making  the  fifth  time  he  had  suffered  in  this  manner  during  a  period  of  seven 
years. 

In  district  No.  2,  there  was  a  brick  building  erected  to  be  used  both  as  a 
church  and  school-house,  being  the  first  school  building  erected  in  the  town- 
ship. The  upper  part  of  the  building  was  built  at  the  expense  of  Barnard 
Ketcham,  David  Layton  and  Enoch  Smith,  while  the  lower  part  was  built  by 
the  district. 

The  First  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: —

"Witness,  BENNING  WENTWORTH,  Esc,).,  our  Governor  and  Com- 
mander-in-Chief of  our  said  Province,  the  fifteenth  day  of  September, 
in  the  year  of  our  Lord  CHRIST,  One  Thousand  Seven  Hundred  and 
Sixty-one,  and  in  the  first  year  of  our  Reign. 

B.  WENTWORTH. 
"  By  His  EXCELLENCY'S 
Command   with  Advice 
of  Council. 

Theodore  I.  Atkinson,  Secretary." 

The  township  was  granted  in  seventy  shares,  with  the  following  five  shares 
reserved  :  "  One  tract  to  contain  500  acres,  marked  on  the  map  B.  W.,  for 
His  Excellency,  Benning  Wentworth,  Esq."  One  share  for  the  incorporated 
society  for  the  "Propagation  of  the  Gospel  in  foreign  parts,"  one  share  for 
a  glebe  for  the  Church  of  England,  one  share  for  the  first  settled  min- 
ister, and  one  share  for  the  benefit  of  schools  in  said  town.  A  part  of  the 
township  was  taken  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 


248  TOWN   OF   TINMOUTH. 


principal  exports.  In  1880  Tinmouth  had  a  population  of  532,  and  was 
divided  into  seven  school  districts  and  had  six  common  schools,  employing 
four  male  and  eleven  female  teachers,  at  an  aggregate  salary  of  $731.38. 
There  were  120  pupils  attending  common  schools,  and  the  total  cost  of  the 
schools  for  the  year  ending  October  31st,  was  $806.29.  Mr.  Clark  Norton 
was  superintendent. 

Tinmouth  (p.  o.)  is  a  hamlet,  near  the  centre  of  the  town,  and  contains  one 
store ;  the  mail  leaving  and  returning  by  the  way  of  Wallingford,  three 
times  each  week,  Tuesdays,  Thursdays  and  Saturdays. 

H.  Clark's  cheese  factory,  located  in  the  south-west  part  of  the  town,  on 
road  33,  was  built  in  1867.  Mr.  Clark  employs  two  men,  uses  the  milk  from 
200  cows,  and  manufactures  60.000  pounds  of  cheese  per  annum. 

Union  Cheese  Factory,  located  in  West  Tinmouth,  on  road  13,  is  operated 
by  a  stock  company.  They  use  the  milk  of  250  cows  and  manufacture 
60,000  pounds  of  cheese  per  annum. 

Packard's  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 


250  TOWN   OF  TINMOUTH. 


is  twenty  feet  long  and  six  feet  wide,  lighted  by  two  windows.  It  is  still  in  a 
good  state  of  preservation.  The  building  is  located  in  the  north-east  part  of 
the  town,  on  road  7,  and  is  now  owned  and  occupied  by  Mr.  J.  H.  Round. 

Nathaniel  Chipman  was  born  in  Salisbury,  Conn.,  Nov.  15,  1752,  and  his 
father  removed  to  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  : —

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, 


TOWN    OF    WALLINGFORD.

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),

TOWN    OF   WALLINGFORD. 


one  grist  and  saw-mill,  one  cheese  factory,  one  wood-pulp  mill,  one  store  and 
an  express  office,  railroad  depot  and  post-office  combined.  There  is  also 
found  here  a  quarry  of  very  marketable  marble,  and  the  South  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.

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, 
at  WaUingford  viUage.     Rebecca's  father,  Alfred  Hull,  was  born  Sept.  10,

1794,  and    resided   upon    the   old    homestead    all  his  life,   dying   March  28 
J875- 

Hosea  Eddy  located  in  Wallingford  in  1805,  residing  here  until  his  death, 
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, 
Elias.  Wilham  died  in  1846,  Elias  in  1856,  leaving  three  sons  and  one 
daughter ;  the  sons,  Austin,  Elias  W.  and  Alonzo,  are  still  residents  of  the 
town. 

Amasa,  Ebenezer  and  Joel  Hart,  settled  in  the  central  part  of  the  town

engaging  in  mercantile  pursuits  at  Wallingford,  in  which  he  continued  until 
December  25th,  1851,  when  his  store  and  property,  valued  at  $5,000,  was 
destroyed  by  fire  and  was  a  total  loss.  Mr.  Harris  represented  the  town  in 
1836,  and  has  served  as  town  clerk  many  years.  A  daughter  of  Mr.  Harris 
is  the  wife  of  Dr.  George  H.  Fox,  of  Rutland. 

Elias  Crary,  from  New  Haven,  Conn.,  came  to  Wallingford  at  an  early 
date,  locating  in  the  north  part  of  the  town,  upon  the  farm  now  owned  by 
Edwin  Crary.  Frank  L.,  a  grandson  of  Elias,  is  also  a  present  resident  of 
the  town. 

Edwin  Martindale  came  to  this  town  in  1832,  where  he  was  engaged  in 
mercantile  pursuits  for  a  period  of  over  thirty  years.  He  was  town  repre- 
sentative in  1855  and  1856,  was  town  clerk  twelve  years,  and  town  treasurer 
twenty  years,  and  still  resides  in  the  village. 

James  H.  Congdon  came  to  Wallingford  from  North  Kingston,  R.  L,  in 
1804.  He  had  several  children,  of  which  James  and  C.  H.  are  still  residents 
of  the  town. 

During  the  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 
the  Rev.  Benjamin  Osborn  as  pastor.  The  first  house  of  worship  was 
erected  in  1800,  succeeded  by  the  present  one  in  1828.  The  original  cost  of 
the  present  church  edifice  was  $2,500,  and  is  now  valued  at  $7,000.  It  will 
comfortably  seat  about  300  people.     Charles  N.  Brainard  is  at  present  pastor. 

The  East  Wallingford  Baptist  Church  was  organized  March  3d,  i86r,  by 
Rev.  Joseph  Freeman,  with  a  membership  of  twenty-nine.  The  church  edifice 
was  erected  in  i860,  at  a  cost  of  about  $2,000,  will  comfortably  seat  200 
people,  and  is  at  present  valued  at  $2,500.  Rev.  T.  P.  Kellog  is  the  present 
pastor. 

,5"/.  ^Patrick's  Church,  (Roman  Catholic,)  located  at  Wallingford,  was 
organized  in  1865  by  Rev.  C.  Boylan.  At  its  organization  it  consisted  of  300 
members,  which  has  since  increased  to  600.  The  church  edifice  was  erected 
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. 

The  whipping-post  was  at  one  time  in  use  in  the  town  ;  the  last  victim  was

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. 

Gideon  Briggs,  from  Deerfield,  Mass.,  came  to  Castleton  early  in  the  present 
century,  and  subsequently  settled  in  Westhaven  in  1824,  locating  upon  the

months,  no  place  equals  it  in  the  State  :  nothing  here  unpleasant — pure  air,  beautiful  scenery,  pleasant  drives

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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. "- 
Poultney  JournaL 
I^~The  Russell  House  is  first-class  and 
terms  reasonable.      For  railroad  connec- 
tions, terms,  &c.,  address  the  proprietor. '
