LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 379

DR. JOSEPH HAVEN SMITH.

Elias Smith was born in Epping, but removed in early life to
Moiiltonborongh, where the poverty and sacrifices incident to the
settlement of a new country served to develop patience, perse-
verance, and energy of character. In a time of great scarcity of
provision he went on foot to Exeter, where he procured half a
bushel of Indian com and bore it home on his shoulder, a distance
of nearly seventy miles through a dense and almost pathless wil-
derness.

His son, John Smith, was born in Moultonborough and brought
up to a mechanical calling. He married Betsey Roberts of the
same place and removed to Rochester about 1796, where he reared
six sons and three daughters. He was through life an industrious,
hard-working mechanic, of strong mental powers, ready for every
emergency. Proverbially an honest man, he was endowed with
a keen, intuitive sagacity, and manifested great independence of
mind in the choice and maintenance of both religious and political
principles. He had the confidence of the whole community, and
those who knew him the most intimately, yielded him the largest
homage and respect. Of an inquiring spirit, and gifted with happy
conversational powers, his society was much sought, and he was
always listened to with interest and profit. His opinions, formed
only after due investigation, became incorporated into his very life.
His wife was remarkable for her domestic and stern republican
virtues. Caring always for her household with true maternal ten-
derness, she cherished to the last a most sacred regard for the
memory of the patriots of the Revolution. Remotely of blood kin
to the immortal Warren, she partook largely of those strong and
sterling qualities which characterized the women as well as the
men of the Revolutionary era.

Joseph Haven Smith, the youngest of the six sons of these pa-
rents, was born in Rochester Nov. 17, 1805. His early life was
characterized by a thirst for knowledge, which increased with his
advancing years. Many discouragements were in his path, and
greatly to his regret he was compelled to relinquish the hope of
a collegiate education. His parents did all in their power for his
help and encouragement. His eldest sister, Arabella Smith, who
early began teaching, and was for many years principal of the

380 ROCHESTEK.

" Ontario Female Seminary," at Canandaigua, N. Y., rendered Mm
much assistance. The village school at Eochester was at that time
far in advance of any public school in this part of the State, em-
ploying liberally educated teachers, and fitting those who wished
to enter college. Making the very best improvement of all the
means afibrded by the " poor boys' college,'' he began teaching a
district school at the age of eighteen. A j-ear later he commenced
the study of medicine under the tuition of James Farrington, M. D.,
of his own village, and graduated at the Medical College in Bruns-
wick, Me., in 1829. He also followed his vocation of schoolmaster
during the whole five years of his medical studies.

After his graduation he practiced for three years in his native
town, and in 1832 removed to Dover. A Democrat, who inherited
his political ideas from a Democratic father, he early took an
active interest in the politics of the town and State. He was a
speaker of convincing power, and his abilities were not slow to
receive recognition. In 1837 he was elected a member of the
Legislature, and in 1848 and 1855 his name appeared on the
list of State senators. In 1848 he was chosen a presidential elector,
and cast one vote for Lewis Cass. He was appointed by President
Pierce inspector of drugs in the custom house at Boston. He
was a member of the gubernatorial councils of 1851 and 1852.
In 1848 he delivered the annual address at the commencement
exercises at Dartmouth, and for many years was president of the
Dover bank. He was for several years a member of the school
board, and it was through his unceasing eflbrts that the district
system was broken up and the high school erected. He was a
member of the district and state medical societies, and during
his active political career never relinquished his enthusiastic love
of his profession. He was largely instrumental in the erection of
the Pierce Memorial Church, of which he was a member.

In 1867 Dr. Smith removed to Lowell, Mass., and for a time
devoted his whole attention to the practice of his profession. The
exigencies of the Grant and Greeley campaign, 1872, however,
aroused the old political fire, and he entered vigorously into the
contest. Eecognizing the fact that the local Democracy was
without an organ, he started the "Middlesex Democrat," of which
he was proprietor and editor. Eleven months later he merged
the organ into the " Morning Times," which he soon afterwads

sold out to the Hunt Brothers. In 1876, during the Hayes and
Tilden campaign, he resumed the responsibilities of editor and
manager of the " Times," his assistants being D. W. O'Brien
and Frank Wood. In 1880 he sold out to Messrs. Campbell &
Hauseom, the present proprietors. He was a member of the
school board at Lowell for one terra, and was connected with
Monomake Encampment, I. 0. O. F. He was a man of unim-
peachable character and inherent attractions, whose word was a
guaranty of good faith, and whose friendship was a privilege
worthy the highest appreciation. His disposition was of the kind-
liest nature. He was scrupulous in his adherence to truth, and
never countenanced or gave currency to any statement, however
favorable it might be to the party he advocated, unless he was first
satisfied of its truth.

Dr. Smith married, first, Meribah Hanson, and, second, Mrs.
Wiggin of Dover. He died, in a good old age, at Lowell, Mass.,
Feb. 25, 1886, leaving a widow and three children: — Dr. H. J.
Smith of Lowell, Mass., and Mrs. Edwin Hills and Miss Lizzie
Smith of Washington, D. C.

HOX. JOHN P. HALE.

BY HON. JACOB H. ELA.

John Parker Hale was born in Rochester, IST. H., March 31,
1806. His father, John P. Hale, was a lawyer of much ability
and influence, and of great personal popularity, who died in 1819,
at the age of forty-two years, leaving a large family in limited
circumstances, the subject of this sketch being then but thirteen
years old. As a boy he was popular among his fellows — active,
fond of sport, quick to learn, courageous, kind, and free from
vindictiveness — qualities which adhered to him through life,
making him very popular in the community in which he lived,
and in the counties where he practiced at the bar, and com-
manding the good will and respect of the men whom his convictions
led him to oppose. From the public schools of his native village
he went to Phillips Academy at Exeter, and graduated at Bowdoin
College in 1827.

Mr. Hale, on leaving college, entered upon the study of the law

382 ROCHESTER.

in the office of J. H. Woodman, Esq., in Rochester, and completed
his studies with Daniel M. Christie, Esq., of Dover, where he had
the advantage of the instruction of one of the ablest lawyers ever
at the bar in the State. He began to practice in Dover in 1830,
and for about forty years was the nearest neighbor of his old
instructor, who was always one of his warmest friends, although
the two were generally pitted against each other in all the leading
cases in court, and differed much of the time politically. They
finally came together, however, the one from the standpoint of an
anti-slavery Whig, and the other from that of a Democrat with
anti-slavery tendencies,

Mr. Hale at once took high rank at the bar, and was noted
for his tact and skill in handling witnesses, and his great power
with a jury. Of all the advocates who practiced at the bar of the
old county of Strafford, Ichabod Bartlett of Portsmouth is the
only one remembered who equaled him in skill with witnesses,
or possessed that wit and humor, burning indignation, and touch-
ing pathos which were often brought out in his appeals to the
jury. His practice rapidly extended outside his own county into
Belknap, Carroll, and Rockingham. In 1834 Mr. Hale was ap-
pointed United States District Attorney by General Jackson, and
was re-appointed by President Van Buren.

In all his ideas Mr. Hale was democratic, and jealous of every
encroachment upon popular rights. As a lawyer he contended
for the right of the jury to be judges of the law, as well as of
the facts, and protested against their being instructed by the judges
how they must construe and apply the law, leaving them only to
find a verdict on the facts. He won reputation as a lawyer outside
the bar of IS ew Hampshire, in the Supreme Court at Washington,
and in the celebrated Fugitive Slave rescue cases in Boston.
When Shadrach was rescued in 1851 from the court house in
Boston by Lewis Hayden and others, and sent to Canada, great
excitement arose over the country, and especially in Washington,
where the President issued a proclamation commanding " all officers,
civil and military, and all well-disposed citizens in the vicinity of
the outrage to assist in capturing the rescuers and quelling all
similar combinations." The Senate took up the matter on a res-
olution of Mr. Clay's calling on the President for information,
and a special message was received in answer, with the facts and

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 383

assurance that the law should be executed. The debate that fol-
lowed was fierce and exciting, many senators participating. Mr.
Hale said he thought "the President felt pretty sure he had made
the administration ridiculous by his proclamatio.n, and had sent a
labored essay to vindicate what could not be vindicated." Haj'den
and Scott, the leaders in the rescue, were indicted and tried, but
the jury failed to agree, notwithstanding the character of the testi-
mony and the strong charge of the judge. Mr. Hale, who was
leading counsel for the defense, made one of the most noted efforts
of the times, addressed to the jury and the country. When the
case of Anthony Burns came up in Boston, three years later,
there was a still greater excitement. Theodore Parker, accidentally
hearing of the arrest, with difficulty got access to the man, and
with the aid of counsel procured a continuance that Burns might
make defense. An immense meeting was held in Faneuil Hall
to consider what the crisis required. A party who were too impa-
tient to wait for the slower plans of the Anti-man-hunting League,
battered down with a stick of timber the outer doors where Burns
was confined. The garrison inside made a stand in the breach,
and one of the marshal's assistants, James Batchelder, was killed.
The noise drew the police to the scene, and a military company
marching into the court-area as they were returning from target
practice, being accidentall}' mistaken for a company of marines
coming to strengthen the garrison, the attacking part}* did not
feel strong enough to follow up their first success, and the rescue
failed. The President ordered the Adjutant-General of the army
to Boston, and the troops in ISTew York were kept under orders
to march upon call, in addition to other preparations to prevent
a rescue.

Indictments were found ao;ainst Theodore Parker, Wendell Phil-
lips, Martin Stowell, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, and others
— some for murder, and others for assault and riot — mainly for
the speeches they made at Faneuil Hall meeting. Mr. Hale was
again secured as leading counsel for the defense, assisted by Charles
M. Ellis, William L. Burt, John A. Andrew, and Henry F. Du-
rant. The indictments broke down, and the parties were never
brought to trial. Theodore Parker afterwards published the
*' Defense " he had prepared, and dedicated it to his lawyer, John
P. Hale.

384 ROCHESTER.

From the time of his graduation Mr. Hale took great interest
in political matters, and in 1832, two years after commencing the
practice of law in Dover, was elected to the Legislature, at the
age of twenty-six. Having identified himself with the Democratic
party, he became one of its most able and eloquent supporters,
and in 1843 was elected a representative to Congress on a general
ticket with Edmund Burke, Moses N"orris, Jr., James H. Johnson,
and John R. Reding, On the assembling of Congress in December,
an exciting debate arose on the report made by John Quincy
Adams, chairman of the committee on rules, which left out the
famous twenty-first rule, known as the Gag rule, that had been
adopted in 1838 by a resolution introduced by Mr. Atherton of
l^ew Hampshire, which required that " every petition, memorial,
resolution, proposition, or paper, touching, or relating in any way,
or to any extent whatever, to slavery or the abolition thereof,
shall, on presentation, without any further action thereon, be laid
on the table, without being debated, printed, or referred." During
the debate Mr. Hale, with Hamlin of Maine, and a few other
Democrats, avowed their opposition to the longer suppression of
the right of petition. The report was laid on the table, and the
rule continued by a small majority. It had originally been adopted
by a vote of about two to one. This was the beginning of Mr.
Hale's anti-slavery action in Congress, which was destined to bring
him so conspicuously before the country.

In the presidential campaign of 1844, Mr. Hale took an active
part. He distinguished himself as a political speaker, and contrib-
uted much to the success of his party. The question of the
annexation of Texas had exercised a controlling interest in the
South, from the necessity of obtaining more slave territory, if they
would maintain their power, in view of the growing anti-slavery
sentiment in the North, which was beginning to aflect the action
of Democrats. Mr. Clay had lost the State of New York, and
with it the election, in consequence of his hesitating position of
opposition to the measure, which sent enough Whig anti-slavery
votes to Birney to have elected him. Mr. Hale was known to
be opposed to annexation, as were many other New Hampshire
Democrats ; but no opposition was made to his re-nomination to
Congress, as fealty to that measure had not yet become a shiboleth
of the party, as it did soon after. On the assembling of Congress

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 385

in December, 1844, the advocates of annexation at once entered
upon the work for its consummation. President Tyler in his
messai^e called for immediate action, and during that month several
schemes for annexation were submitted. In part to show the
pro-slavery character of the movement, and to fix a western limit
beyond which slavery should not go, Mr. Hale, on the 10th of
January, moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to intro-
duce a proposition to divide Texas into two parts by a line be-
ginning at a point on the Gulf of Mexico, midway between the
northern and southern boundaries, and running in a northwesterly
direction. In the territory south and weSt of that line, it was
provided that there should be neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude; and that the provision was to remain forever an invi-
olable contract. The motion had a majority of eleven, but failed
to receive the requisite two thirds. The necessities of the South
now made it necessary to suppress all opposition to the scheme of
annexation. The election had put the control of the government
in the hands of its friends, and all its patronage was to be wielded
to secure that result. The Legislature of ISTew Hampshire was in
session, as was then the custom every winter of the presidential
year, to provide electors in case of failure to elect by the people,
and resolutions were at once introduced and pushed through,
favoring annexation, and instructing the delegation in Congress
from the State to sustain it. " Obey or resign " had long been a
Democratic doctrine in the State ; and while most of the members
might not have so understood it, the leaders were aiming at Mr.
Hale, who had favored that doctrine. He met these resolutions
with defiance. He stood by the record he had made against any
farther strengthening of the slave power, while mortified to see
so many of his associates going down before it, among them the
editor of the Democratic paper in his own town, who had expressed
the desire that an impassable gulf might forever exist to prevent
annexation, while another leading Democratic editor declared the
whole scheme " black as ink, and bitter as hell." It was a great
step to take, and a less daring spirit would not have ventured it.
Poor in property, with a family to support — the most popular man
in his party — with power to command and ability to adorn any
position his ambition might seek, on the one side — with alienation
of social and political friends, ostracism in business and politics

386 ROCHESTER.

by a party which for sixteen years had held unbroken sway and
remorselessl}" cut dt)wn every man who dared to oppose its declared
will, on the other — were the alternatives. Few men have shown
such greatness of soul and loyalty to convictions under such
temptations. While most men would have yielded, Mr. Hale did
not falter, but at once wrote his celebrated letter to the people of
l^ew Hampshire against the action of the Legislature in its reso-
lutions, in which, after setting forth the aims and purposes of
annexation, and the reasons given by the advocates and supporters
of the measure, he declared them to be " eminently calculated to
provoke the scorn of earth and the judgment of heaven." He
said he would never consent by any agency of his to place the
country in the attitude of annexing a foreign nation for the avowed
purpose of sustaining and perpetuating human slavery ; and if they
were favorable to such a measure, they must choose another
representative to carry out their wishes.

The Democratic State Committee immediately issued a call for
the re-assembling of the Democratic Convention at Concord on
the 12th of February, 1845, and every Democratic paper which
could be prevailed upon to do so, opened its battery of denunci-
ation, calling upon the convention to rebuke and silence Mr. Hale.
To show what etforts were made to crush him, it need onl}" be
said that such leaders of the party as Franklin Pierce, who had
been his warm friend ever since they were fellow students in col-
lege, went forth over the State to organize the opposition. At
Dover he called in the leaders of the party, and the editor of the
" Dover Gazette," who had taken such strong grounds against
annexation, and under their influence the " Gazette " changed
sides and went over to Mr. Hale's enemies. He then went to
Portsmouth and brought over the leaders there, with the exception
of John L. Hayes, then clerk of the United States Court. The
same result followed at Exeter, with the exception of Hon. Amos
Tuck. In this wa}^ the convention was prepared to throw over-
board Mr. Hale and put another name on the ticket in place of
his. Expecting no other fate when he wrote his letter, Mr. Hale
remained at his post in Congress and only assisted his friends
from that point, making arrangements at the same time to enter
upon the practice of law in ISTew York city upon the close of his
term. But resolute friends, who believed with him, rose up in all

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 387

parts of the State to defeat the election of John Woodbury, who
had been nominated in place of Mr. Hale. Prominent among
these, in addition to those named above, were Nathaniel D. Wet-
more of Rochester, John Dow of Epping, George G. Fogg, then
of Gilmanton, James M. Gates of Claremont, James Peverly of
Concord, John Brown of Ossipee, George W. Stevens of Meredith,
John A. Rollins of Moultonborough, James W. James of Deerfield,
N. P. Cram of Hampton Falls, and Samuel B. Parsons of Cole-
brook, with others of like stamp, who organized the first successful
revolt against the demands of the slave power, which, until then,
had been invincible. Through their efforts, Woodbury, the nom-
inee of the convention, failed to secure the majority over all others
needed to elect him, and another election was called to fill the
vacancy. Great excitement pervaded the State during the canvass,
into which Mr. Hale entered with spirit, giving full play to all
those characteristics which made him the foremost orator of the
State before the people, as he had been before juries.

The canvass opened in Concord in June, on the week for the
assembling of the Legislature, in the old ]!^orth Church. To break
the force and etiect of Mr. Hale's speech there, the Democratic
leaders determined that it should be answered upon the spot, and
selected Franklin Pierce for the work. On his way up to the
church, Mr. Hale saw no people in the streets, and he began to
fear there might be a failure in the expected numbers in attendance,
as there had been once before in the same place in 1840, when
he and other leaders of the party were to address a mass meeting,
but when he reached the old church he saw why the streets were
vacant ; the people had all gone earlj' to be sure of getting in,
and the house was full to overflowing. Aware that he was ad-
dressing not only the citizens of Concord and adjoining towns,
and members of the Legislature, but the religious, benevolent,
and other organizations which always met in Concord on election
week, he spoke with more than his usual calmness and dignity.
He created a profound impression, and made all feel, Avhether
agreeing with him or not, that he had acted from a high sense
of public duty and conviction.

Mr. Pierce, who had few equals as a speaker, saw the marked
efiect of Mr. Hale's address, and spoke under great excitement.
He was bitter and sarcastic in tone and matter, and domineering

388 ROCHESTER.

and arrogant in his manner, if not personally insulting. The
convention was wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement when
Mr. Hale rose to reply. He spoke briefly, but effectively, and closed
by saying : —

" I expected to be called ambitious, to have my name cast out
as evil, to be traduced and misrepresented. I have not been dis-
appointed. But if things have come to this condition, that con-
science and a sacred regard for truth and duty are to be publicly
held up to ridicule, and scouted without rebuke, as has just been
done here, it matters little whether we are annexed to Texas, or
Texas is annexed to us. I may be permitted to say that the
measure of my ambition will be full, if when my earthly career
shall be finished, and my bones be laid beneath the soil of New
Hampshire, when my wife and children shall repair to my grave
to drop the tear of affection to my memory, they may read on
my tombstone, ' He who lies beneath surrendered office, place, and
power, rather than bow down and worship slavery.' "

The scene which followed can be imagined, but not described,
as round after round of applause greeted this close. At the end
of the canvass in September, with three candidates in the field,
there was again no election. A second effort in l^ovember ended
with a like result. JN'o other attempt was made until the annual
March election of 1846, when full tickets were placed in the field
by the Democrats, Whigs, Free-Soilers, and Independent Demo-
crats, The issue of no more slave territory was distinctly made,
and a canvass such as the State had never known before, in which
Mr. Hale took the leading part, resulted in a triumphant vindi-
cation of his course, and the complete overthrow of the Demo-
cratic party, which was beaten at all points. Mr. Hale was elected
to the House from Dover, on the Independent ticket, and on the
opening of the session was made Speaker of the House of Rep-
resentatives, and during the session was elected United States
senator for the full term of six years. It was on this occasion
that John G. Whittier wrote that very gem of political squibs,
beginning, " 'T is over, Moses ! — all is lost I" During this session
of the Legislature an incident took place which exhibited the
independent spirit of the man. Dr. Low, a member from Dover,
introduced resolutions upon the tariff", slavery, and annexation,
taking the ultra-Whig view of the tariff' question, and intended to

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 389

bring Mr. Hale and his friends to their support as the condition
upon which he could have the vote of a considerable portion of
the Whig party. But instead of yielding his convictions for the
consideration of their support, he and his friends declared they
would submit to no shackles; they had fought successfully against
the tyranny of one political organization, and no allurements of a
senatorship should stifle their convictions and bind their judgment
to the dictations of another. Much excitement followed, but the
counsels of the liberal Whigs prevailed. The resolutions were not
called up until after the senatorial election, when Mr. Hale left
the speaker's chair, and offered amendments, which were adopted
after a strong speech by him in their favor. He was supported
by his old friend and instructor, Daniel M. Christie of Dover, also
a member of the House, who had done much to quiet the opposition
and induce it to vote for Mr. Hale.

The hearts of the friends of liberty all over the country were
filled with joy at the auspicious result of this first victory over
the slave power after repeated, prolonged, and excited struggles
both before the people and at the polls. Mr. Hale entered the
Senate in 1847, and for two years stood alone, with unfaltering
courage, battling the aggressive measures of the slave power with
surpassing eloquence, keen wit, unfailing good humor, and bound-
less resources for any and every emergency. He drew the attention
of the country, during this session, by the telling blows he struck
for the great cause of human freedom, to which he dedicated all
the noblest powers of his mature manhood. He stood fearless
against every threat and all combinations. It was of his debates
during his first senatorial term, after his return from Spain, broken
in health, that Charles Sumner said to the writer: — "Poor Hale!
It is sad to see his manly form crippled and shrunken. He stood
up bravely and alone before the rest of us got there to aid him,
and said things on the spur of the moment, that will last and be
remembered when the labored efibrts of the rest of us are for-
gotten." Chase of Ohio, a sturdy son of New Hampshire, came
to the Senate in 1849 to stand beside him, and two years later,
in 1851, Sumner of Massachusetts. They constituted a trio of
great ability, but were treated as interlopers and refused positions
on the committees of the Senate for the reason, as alleged by

390 ROCHESTER.

Bright of Indiana, that " they belonged to no healthy organization
known to the country."

One of the first debates in which Mr. Hale distinguished him-
self, after entering the Senate, was on the admission of Oregon,
when he proposed to add the ordinance of 1787, excluding slavery,
which drew on a fierce debate. When accused of provoking a
" useless and pestiferous discussion,'" he told them with his accus-
tomed good nature, that he was " willing to stand where the word
of God and his conscience placed him, and there bid defiance to
consequences."

Early in April, 1848, the year of popular upheavings and rev-
olutions in Europe, President Polk sent a message to Congress
announcing, in glowing terms, the uprising of the French people
— the peaceful overthrow of the monarchy, and the establishment
of a republic. Resolutions were introduced in the House of Rep-
resentatives, tendering their warmest sympathy with the struggling
patriots, and expressing the hope " that down-trodden humanity
may succeed in breaking down all forms of tyranny and oppres-
sion." Similar resolutions were introduced in the Senate. Speak-
ing on the question in a sad strain Mr. Hale said : —

" I have sometimes thought, in dwelling upon the history of this
republic, that I have seen indications, fearful and fatal, that we were
departing from the faith of our fathers ; that instead of living true to
the first principles of human liberty which we have proclaimed, we
were cutting loose from them ; that the illustration we were about
to give of the capability of man for self-government was to be
the same as that of all other nations that have gone before us;
and that after our failure the hope of freedom would indeed be
extinguished forever. But in the dawning of this revolution in
France I behold the sun of hope again arise, his beams of golden
light streaming along the eastern horizon. I am now inspired
by the hope that even if we fail here, if liberty should be driven
from this, her chosen asylum, the divine principle would still live
and would find a sanctuary among the people of another land;
and when our history shall have been written, and our tale told,
with its sad moral of our faithlessness to liberty, — boasting of
our love of freedom, while w^e listened unmoved to the clanking
of chains and the wail of the bondmen, — even then, in a con-

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION, 391

tinent of the old world, light would be seen breaking out of
darkness, life out of death, and hope out of despair."

There was a municipal celebration of this event in AVashington,
with torchlight procession and other out-door demonstrations, the
houses of the President and heads of the departments being illu-
minated. During these demonstrations the schooner Pearl came
to Washington loaded with wood, and Avhen she left took away
seventy-seven slaves. Such an exodus caused great commotion,
and an armed steamer was sent in hot pursuit, which overtook
the schooner at the mouth of the Potomac and brought her back
with her ill-fated company. The greatest excitement prevailed,
and out of it came a mob, which, after partially exhausting its
fury, started for the office of the " I^ational Era " to destroy it,
but were frustrated in their purpose. In Congress the excitement
was as fierce and intense as outside. In the House the debate
was especially bitter. In the Senate Mr. Hale offered a resolution,
copied from the laws of Maryland, providing that any property
destroyed by riotous assemblages should " be paid for by any town
or county in the district where it occurs." Mr. Calhoun was
" amazed that even the senator from New Hampshire should
have so little regard for the constitution of the country as to
introduce such a bill as this without including in it the severest
penalties against the atrocious act which had occasioned this
excitement," and said he " would just as soon argue with a maniac
from Bedlam, as with the senator from ISTew Hampshire on the
subject." Foote of Mississippi denounced the bill " as obviously
intended to cover and protect negro stealing." Turning to Mr.
Hale he said : — "I invite him to visit Mississippi, and will tell
him beforehand, in all honesty, that he could not go ten miles
into the interior before he would grace one of the tallest trees ot
the forest with a rope around his neck, with the approbation ot
every honest and patriotic citizen ; and that, if necessary, I should
myself assist in the operation." Jefferson Davis, and Butler ot
South Carolina, joined in the attack upon him in the same strain,
while he stood alone. Mr. Hale explained his purpose in intro-
ducing the resolution, and in replying to the assaults said : —
" The notes of congratulation sent across the Atlantic to the
people of France on their deliverance from thralldom have
hardly ceased when the supremacy of law and the freedom ot

392 ROCHESTER.

the press are threatened in the capital of the nation." Refer-
ring to Foote's threatened reception in Mississippi, he invited the
senator to visit " the dark corners of New Hampshire, where
the people in that benighted region wall be very happy to listen
to his arguments and engage in the intellectual conflict with him
in wdiich the truth would be elicited." Turning to Calhoun, he
said : — "It has long been held by you that your peculiar insti-
tution is incompatible with the right of speech ; but if it is also
incompatible with the safeguards of the constitution being thrown
around the property of the American citizen, let the country know
it. If that is to be the principle of your action, let it be pro-
claimed throughout the length and breadth of the land, that there
is an institution so omnipotent, so almighty, that even the sacred
rights of life and property must bow down before it. There could
not be a better occasion than this to appeal to the country. Let
the tocsin sound; let the w^ord go forth." He further told Calhoun
that it was " a novel mode of terminating a controversy by char-
itably throwing the mantle of a maniac irresponsibility upon one's
antagonist." Adjournment closed the discussion, and the Senate
refused to take it up afterwards.

In December, 1850, Mr. Foote of Mississippi introduced a reso-
lution declaring it to be the duty of Congress to provide terri-
torial government for California, Deseret, and ]^ew Mexico. Mr.
Hale offered an amendment, that the ordinance of 1787 should be
applied. It was during the debate which followed that Mr. "Web-
ster made his 7th of March speech. During the discussion Mr.
Hale occupied two days in an argument vindicating the measures
and acts of the anti-slavery men. Replying to Mr. Webster, he
said: — "Yet the senator declares he would not re-enact the laws
of God. Well, sir, I would. When he tells me that the law of
God is against slavery, it is a most potent argument why we
should incorporate it in a territorial bill."

In closing he said : — " And firmly believing in the providence
of God, we trust the day will dawn in this country when the
word ' slavery ' shall be a word "without a meaning, when any
section of the Union will join hands with another in spreading
abroad the principles of humanity, philosophy, and Christianity,
which shall elevate every son and daughter of the human race to
that libertv for which thev were created, and for which thev were

destined by God. These opinions, sir, we entertain, and these
hopes we cherish : and we do not fear to avow them, here, now,
always, and forever."

Mr. Hamhn and Mr. Hale presented petitions for the repeal of
the fugitive slave act, one of which was referred to the judiciary
committee. A debate sprang up on a motion for reconsideration,
which gave rise to a spirited controversy. Butler of South Caro-
lina declared he " was tired of casting impediments in the stream
of anti-slavery agitation ; they might as well attempt to put a
maniac asleep by lullabies." Mr. Hale, in reply, said " agitation
was the great element of life. It gave birth to the revolution
and the constitution, and none but those who hug fatal errors
have anything to fear from that life-giving element, which will
impart its healing as did the waters at the beautiful gate of the
temple, when the angel had gone down and stirred them. As for
myself, I glory in the name of agitator."

The period of greatest interest in Mr. Hale's senatorial career
centers around his first term, when he stood alone, or almost
alone, in the thick of the conflict, undaunted, and dealing blows
to the oppressor on every side. There were no weak places in
his armor, and neither threats, attacks, nor allurements could
shake his constancy. When this term expired, the Democratic
party had obtained control in ISTew Hampshire ; but two years
later, in 1855, they lost it, and Mr. Hale was again elected for
four years, to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of Charles
G. Atherton. He was again re-elected for a full term in 1858.
He was conspicuous in this term for his integrity and fearless
independence in exposing the mal-administration and extravagance
of the navy department, while acting as chairman of the naval
committee of the Senate.

Mr. Hale was nominated as the Free-Soil candidate for the
presidency in 1847, but declined after the nomination of Mr. Yan
Buren at the Buflalo convention in 1848. He was again nom-
inated for president by the Free-Soil convention in 1852, with
George W. Julian for vice-president, and received at the Novem-
ber election 155,850 votes.

At the close of his senatorial career in 1865 Mr. Hale was
appointed Minister to Spain by President Lincoln, and was absent
five years, much of the time in ill health. He came home with

394 ROCHESTER.

a broken constitution. His health, which had always been perfect
up to the time of the well-remembered jSTatioual Hotel sickness,
was never so good afterwards.

He lived to see the full triumph of his efforts to rid the land of
slavery, and the freedmen, with the ballot, placed as citizens under
the protection of the constitution, and died November 19, 1873,
bearing with him the blessings of millions who had been raised
from the sorrow and degradation of human servitude, and of mil-
lions more who had admired his unselfish fidelity to the cause he
had espoused, and his unwavering integrity.

DOMINICUS HANSON.

DoMiNicus Hanson, son of Joseph and Charity (Dame) Hanson,
was born Aug. 23, 1813, in the same house in Eochester where
he now (1888) resides.

His father was born in Dover Dec. 18, 1764, and died at Roch-
ester Dec. 19, 1832. He married Charity Dame March 4, 1798.
She was born in Rochester Sept. 1, 1775, and died Feb. 3, 1833.
They had ten children. 1. Humphrey, deceased, a druggist. 2.
Mary D., deceased, wife of Dr. James Farrington, deceased, of
Rochester, a distinguished physician and member of Congress from
New Hampshire (p. 345). 3. Hannah, died in infancy. 4. Joseph
S., died at twenty-five; was a druggist. 5. lleribah, deceased, wife
of Dr. Joseph H. Smith, late of Lowell, Mass. (p. 300). 6. Joanna^
deceased, wife of John McDutfee of Rochester (p. 380). 7. An
infant, not named. 8. Hester Ann, deceased, wife of Daniel M.
Mooney. 9. Dominicus, the subject of this sketch. 10. Asa P., a
corn and flour dealer in Newton City, Iowa.

Joseph Hanson came to Rochester from Dover when a young
man, and immediately engaged in the general grocery and mer-
cantile business, which he successfully followed till within a few
years of his death. He was a man of excellent judgment, good
common sense, shrewd, cautious, industrious, and economical.
He built the first brick store ever erected in Straflbrd county,
probably about 1810 or 1812. The roof, doors, and window-shutters
were of tin. At a very early day he made a brick vault for the
safe deposit of his papers, etc. He inaugurated many useful
schemes which have had a tendency for good, and his name is

^^'k£^^

%^^^?2y y

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 395

held in grateful remembrance by those who knew him. He was
justly considered one of the best business men of his day, and the
ample fortune left to his family fully attests this estimate of him.
He was a Whig in politics, but was averse to holding any office,
preferring to attend to his own private matters, hence his great
success for one of those days.

Mrs. Hanson was a member of the Methodist Church, and he
was an attendant and supporter of the various churches, though
not a member of any, rather leaning towards Universalism.

DoMiNicus Hanson received the advantages of a common-school
education until he was some tifteen years of age, and this was
supplemented by an academic education at Rochester Academy,
Parsonsfield Seminary, Me., and Hopkinton and Pembroke, N. H.
In 1830 he commenced the drug business as an apprentice to his
brother-in-law. Dr. Smith, and served him two years, when in
1832 he bought Dr. Smith's interest, and continued in the business
till the fire of December, 1880, except some two or three years
when away at school. Immediately after the fire he built on the
same spot a fine store now occupied by Burnham.

As an evidence of the confidence reposed in Mr. Hanson as an
honest and trustworthy gentleman, we may mention that at the
earnest solicitation of the business men of his native town, he
issued scrip of the respective denominations — 10 cts., 25 cts., and
50 cts., — to the amount of $8,000, which reads as follows : —

"State of New Hampshire, Rochester, Sept. 27, 1862.

" For value received, I promise to pay on demand, in current

Bank Bills, in sums of one dollar and upwards, at my place of business.

"DOMINICUS HANSON."

This scrip was issued when there was a scarcity of circulating
money during the great civil war, and before the general govern-
ment had issued any money. Circulating throughout Kew England,
it was never refused, and was promptly redeemed when the general
government made its issue. " Honest Dominicus," as he has been
known by his friends for long years ! Who ever saw the goodly
village of Norway Plains but recalls his prim, pressed-brick
two-story apothecary store, with its circular front, once the most
stylish store in the whole State of iSTew Hampshire? its long-
remembered and excellent brick sidewalk in front, dating back

396 ROCHESTEK.

to time immemorial, before this prospective city knew the luxury
of sidewalks ? its broad stone steps, always a delight to the innu-
merable patrons of this popular resort, who climbed them with the
assurance of safe foothold and excellent reception beyond ?

If JN'oah could by any means be compelled to refit and re-arrange
the ark, and take in all that he considered necessary to stock a
new world, he couldn't collect the six or eight million invaluable
articles which were here gathered together from the four corners
of the earth (or " coming the next day ") unless he had the nearly
miraculous experience of our subject, and to acquire such an expe-
rience would cost a frightful expenditure of both time and money.

Mr. Hanson is now (1888) seventy-five years of age, a little less
than six feet in height, stands erect, possesses rather a commanding
figure, moves quickly like an active young man of twenty-five.
His hair, always inclined to brown, is silvered with age. He is
of a markedly nervous organization, his thin-cut face bearing its
certain evidence. IS'othing about his face or general appearance
is strongly marked above many other men you may meet in the
course of a day's ride in any portion of Yankee land; by that
sign you can judge the man.

If ever wit and drollery overflowed in one person, here it is. I
know of no two faces in the country that so nearly resemble each
other as that of " Honest Dominicus " and the happy countenance
of America's humorist, " Mark Twain." The general impression
left by the two faces is the same, — the same mysterious gleam,
sure token of the mental flash, occurs in each, and the wit and
humor of each are fully recognized among his friends. The par-
allel holds good still further : in neither case can the purpose or
intent be solved. A matter of the lightest import may be treated
with ponderous gravity befitting a funeral oration, and while either
of the two is discoursing with lengthened face upon the topic, the
bystanders are convulsed with laughter. On the contrary, many
things which bewilder the brains of common people are heartily
laughed at by them. Like all puzzling human enigmas both these
worthies have become idealized in the aft'ectionate regard of many
friends. But Mr. Hanson is a study. In him lie the gentle graces,
geniality, cute Yankee sense, and the subtile and evanescent essence
of fun. In him dwells a constant gleam of drollery, always
welcome as sunshine in winter, or flowers in May. The mirth

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 397

which overflows in his happy moments is all the more welcome
because of the uncertainty of its aim. It may be gentle invective
of society's shams ; perhaps a tinge of sarcasm wittily said lightens
his etibrts.

In politics he has been a life-long Democrat of the old school.
He was an earnest supporter of General Jackson for the presidency
for the second term, though not old enough to vote. He cast his
first presidential vote for Martin Van Buren, and has voted at
every election since. Without his knowledge he was appointed
postmaster of his native village by President Jackson, ere his
majority, and he continued to hold the same position under Van
Bureu's and Harrison's administrations. He has been director of
the ITorway Plains Savings Bank for many years.

He married Betsey S., daughter of Simon Chase, a prominent
merchant in Rochester, Sept. 19, 1839. She was born in Milton,
August 4, 1814. Of this union two sons have been born, — Charles
A. C, born in Bocliester, August 18, 1844, and George W., born
July 6, 1854, and died January 6, 1856.

JAMES HERVEY EDGERLY.

BY HON. C. W. FOLSOM.

The character and prosperity of every community depend largely
upon a few leading minds that to a great extent form and mold
public opinion. Rochester has been specially fortunate in devel-
oping men illustrious for their energy, industry, and integrity.
Prominent among these stands James Hervey Edgerly, who for
half a century has been thoroughly identified with every step of
progress pertaining to the best interests of the town of his adoption.
His good sense and wise counsels have had much to do in shaping
the destinies of Rochester, in whose activities and advancement he
has always borne an honorable and conspicuous part.

James H. Edgerly was born in Farmington, Jan. 28, 1814, of
tbe seventh generation from Thomas Edgerhj, an Englishman, who
settled in Durham in 1665. On his maternal side his ancestry in
the Roberts line contained a mixture of Scotch-Irish blood. At
the age of ten years he removed with his parents to Great Falls,
where they remained nine years, and then returned to Farmington.

398 ROCHESTER.

Having acquired a good common school education he satisfied his
higher aspirations by attending the academies at Wolfeborough
and Rochester, and the Institute at ISTew Hampton, supplementing
a thoroughly practical education by teaching school winters. His
father intended him for the law, but his tastes were for mechanics,
and he was apprenticed to his uncle, the late Hon. Josiah B.
Edgerly, a carriage manufacturer at Farmington. In January, 1835,
he went to Great Falls, where he worked at his trade for one
year. The next year he was a journeyman in Boston at good
wages. Then came the financial crash of 1837, when business was
at a stand-still, and workmen all over the country were thrown
out of employment. The young man from the granite hills with
indomitable will and laudable ambition took up his march to the
westward, and found emploj-ment in St. Louis, Mo. After about
a year he again migrated to Burlington, Iowa. After a few months'
labor he was attacked with fever and ague, and, as the only chance
of recovery, was finally obliged to return home in the fall of 1838.
In September, 1839, he came to Rochester, where he opened a
carriage shop, and began also the business of an undertaker. Here
for nearly fifty years he has honored an honorable employment
by a life of industry and usefulness. In all his business relations,
as well as in the various positions of trust to which he has been
called, he has been guided by that noblest of virtues, fidelity.
Lacking neither the information nor the courage to maintain his
principles, his sphere of usefulness may have been greater than
as if he had been a lawyer.

Possessed of a military spirit even from boyhood, in 1834 he
was commissioned captain, in 1840 adjutant of the Thirty-ninth
Regiment, and three years later was appointed brigade inspector.
In 1849 he was unanimously chosen captain of the " Rochester
Phalanx," an independent company composed of many of the first
young men of the town, and continued in command till the military
system of the State was changed in 1856.

He held the office of deputy sherifi' from 1844 to 1847, and acted
as guard at the execution of Andrew Howard (p. 312). He had
been selected by Sheriff" Hoyt to assist in the execution, but another
deputy asked Mr. Edgerly to change places with him. " Certainly,"
said Mr. Edgerly; "while I would not shirk my duty, I have no
wish to be particularly prominent in swinging a poor wretch into
eternity."

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 399

In 1844 Mr. Edgerly was appointed justice of the peace, and
acted as such forty years, declining to again qualify in 1884. In
1853 he was made an associate justice of the Court of Common
Pleas, and remained a sound adviser until the system of courts
was changed.

Mr. Edgerly was made a Mason Nov. 16, 1850; was Master of
Humane Lodge from 1854 to 1858, and again in 1861 ; was treas-
urer from 1873 to 1884; and D. D. G. Master in 1858-59. He
was a charter member of Temple Chapter of R. A. M., and is a
Knight Templar.

In politics Mr. Edgerly was originally a Democrat, but dissented
from his party in regard to the Fugitive Slave Law, the Dred Scott
Decision, and the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. After its
repeal, believing that " squatter sovereignty " applied to Kansas,
be became a " Douglas Democrat." But when rebellion arose
he laid aside all party affiliations, and to the full extent of his
power and influence supported the administration in its suppression,
and advocated the second election of Abraham Lincoln. The pres-
ervation of the Union, with its flag floating over the whole country,
was to him the paramount principle, and no man in the town of
Rochester is held in higher esteem by the soldiers of the Grand
Army than he. They remember him as one who stood by them
and their families, and in word and deed proved himself the patriot-
citizen, the friend who fought for them at home while they were
lighting for freedom at the front.

In 1866 he was appointed judge of probate for Stratibrd county,
and held the office till removed for political reasons by the Dem-
ocratic State administration in 1874.

The life of Judge Edgerly has been long and eventful, full of
interesting incidents which illustrated the character of the man.
Just after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, a slave fleeing
to Canada came one night to the house of the late Hon. J. H.
Ela. The United States officers were in close pursuit, and as Mr.
Ela was a noted abolitionist, he feared they would find their victim
without fail if he kept him in hiding at his own house. So he
went to Mr. Edgerly, who being a well-known Democrat would
be unsuspected, and stated the case: how the poor fellow had
been hunted from the rice swamps of Carolina, .chased by blood-
hounds, and traveling by night ^vith the North star for his guide,

400 ROCHESTER.

resting in the woods by day, had now so nearly reached the land
of freedom, and what a death blow to his hopes it would be now
to be captured and sent back to slavery. Mr. Edgerly had been
walking the room with rapid strides, his great heart filled with
indignation against the law, and with no hesitation became " a
conductor on the underground railroad." By his aid, advice, and
money the slave escaped to Canada. This is only one of many
incidents showing that his heart was always in the right place,
and by which he won a firm hold on the love and respect of his
fellow townsmen.

The writer of this hasty sketch remembers him best when, as
a member of the school committee, he made frequent visits to
the schools, and became almost a father to hundreds of boys and
girls who are now men and women. Though the silver threads
are mixed with the dark ones of our heads, and many have left
the old home for other States, yet none of those who attended the
Main-street school in those days will ever forget honest-hearted,
free-spoken, blufi", good-natured Judge Edgerly, who made all their
interests his interests.

SAMUEL JAMESOK YARE"EY.

Samuel J. Varney, son of Capt. Phineas Varney, was born at
Gonic in 1814. His father sailed in command of the privateer
brig Mars from Portsmouth, and was never heard from. Mr.
Varney left home in 1831, and served an apprenticeship in the
" Dover Gazette " ofiice, with John T. Gibbs. In 1835 he purchased
" The Iris," at Methueu, Mass., and changed it to the " Methuen
Falls Gazette." After four years he sold out, and having spent
a short time in the West, he bought the " Vox Populi " at Lowell,
Mass., which he published from 1841 to 1850, when he bought
the " Lowell Courier and Journal." In 1855 he bought back the
" Vox Populi " and published it till his decease, l!^ov. 11, 1859.
In 1836 he married Mary Jane, daughter of Stephen Place of
Rochester. She died in 1850 leaving five children. In 1851 he
married Ruth Stewart, who survived him with two children. In
1850-51 he was a member of the common council, and of the
board of aldermen in 1852 and 1859. The printers of Lowell and
other citizens in large numbers attended his funeral. An obituary

^^ S{^(^L^^ ^2^^^,

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 401

notice says: — "All works of benevolence and philanthropy were
sure of his co-operation. In social life he was unusually happy
and considerate of the comfort of others. The needy never came
to him in vain, and the sick and suffering never lacked his ten-
derest care. His place is not easily filled. The good he did will
long survive him, and there are many of our citizens who will
till life's end consecrate a warm corner of their hearts to his
memory."

REV. EZEKIEL TRUE.

Henry True came from England and settled in Salem, Mass.,
where he married a daughter of Capt. Robert Pike and had two
sons, the elder of whom was Capt. Henry True. He married Jane
Bradbury and had four children, among whom was Dea. John True,
who married Martha Morrell and had five children. Their second
son, Ezekiel, married Mary Morrell and settled at Salisbury Plain,
Mass. Among their ten children was Jacob, who settled in Salis-
bury, iST. H., and married Lydia Dow. The fourth of their six
children was Ezeldel, born at Salisbury, Feb. 6, 1780. He married
Nancy Nutting, daughter of one of the first settlers of Corinth,
Vt., and had eight children. He owned a farm but was a house
carpenter by trade, and his four boys did most of the farm work,

EzEKiEL True, the youngest of the four, was born at Corinth,
Yt., June 5, 1814. In his boyhood he had a great liking for
books and study, and farming was to him a tiresome drudgery.
From twelve years of age he cherished an intense purpose to
obtain education enough to teach a common school. His school
privileges were limited to about two months each winter, and yet
by his persevering energy he passed the examination, obtaining a
teacher's certificate at the age of seventeen, and taught a two-
months' school with commendable success, receiving eight dollars
a month and board. For the next four years he worked on the
farm in the summer, attended the Academy at Bradford, Vt., in
the fall, and taught school in tlie winter.

From a very early age he was seriously inclined, and deeply
anxious in regard to personal religion. He was converted in 1828,
and joined the Free Will Baptist Church in Corinth, March 20,
1830. Impressed with the conviction that the ministry must be
his life work, he preached his first sermon July 5, 1835, from

402 ROCHESTER.

Matthew 16 : 26. He continued to preacli tlirough the Bummer,
and in the winter traveled, holding meetings in various places
through Ij^orthern Vermont, but with no marked success. Feeling
the need of a better education he went to J^orth Parsonsfield
Seminary in Maine, the only academy then belonging to his
denomination. His father gave him twenty dollars, and by the
aid of teaching winters, he acquired a common academic education.
After leaving school he held meetings in Cornish, Me., resulting
in sixty or seventy conversions.

He was ordained at Corinth, Yt., June 22, 1837, and in Jan-
uary, 1838, became pastor of the Free Will Baptist Church in
Portsmouth, where he remained three years, adding the labors of
a city missionary to the regular pastoral work. During this time
about one hundred were added to the church. For thirty-five
years he preached without the loss of a single Sabbath, and was
in labors abundant for nearly ten years more. Having been pastor
in Wells, South Berwick, and Saco, Me., and in Portsmouth,
Ashland, Pittsfield, Lake Village, Alton, Gilford, and Farmington,
N. H., he spent his last years in Rochester, where he founded the
Rochester Village Free Will Baptist Church, and where he died
Feb. 18, 1883 (p. 283-5).

In ISTovember, 1839, he married Sylvia M. Hobbs of Wells, Me.,
whose natural abilities, education, and rare spiritual gifts qualified
her to be a most eflicient helpmeet in all his work. She died April
30, 1881. In June, 1882, he married Mrs. Clara D. Smith, who
survives him.

Mr. True was a man of untiring energy, wholly devoted to his
work. He served on the school board in most of the towns where
he resided. He preached not less than four thousand and five
hundred sermons, attended about five hundred funerals, married
three hundred and fifty couples, and baptized about three hundred
persons. His genial, social disposition won him many friends who
still hold his name in aflectionate remembrance.

DR. JASPER H. YORK.

Jasper Hazen York was born in Lee, Feb. 27, 1816, and died
in Dover, April 7, 1874. When he was two years of age his
parents moved from Lee to Rochester, which place remained his

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 403

home till he made one for himself in South Boston. He was
the third son of John and Rebecca York. His father was a suc-
cessful farmer, retiring in his disposition, but widely known and
respected for his honesty, integrity, and good common sense. His
ipaother was a woman of great strength of character and wonder-
fully successful in impressing her own superior mental power upon
her children.

In early boyhood he was noted for his love of books and stu-
dious habits. As he grew older the passion for an education took
complete possession of him, and nothing short of a profession
would satisfy his ambition. His father used every inducement to
have him remain on the farm, but when he became convinced
that this was utterly repugnant to the boy's desires, he reluctantly
gave his consent that this son should choose his own life work.

After leaving the public schools he continued his studies at
Phillips Exeter Academy. Then for several years he taught school
in Kittery, Me., Dover, I*^. H., and other places. As a teacher he
was wonderfully successful, not only in the public schools but in
after years when he had a continuous succession of medical students
in his office. He always took great iuterest in educational affairs,
servino; with sio;nal success on the school committee in Boston for
many years, proving himself one of the most efficient men that
board ever had.

He graduated from Harvard Medical College with honor in the
year 1845. He soon settled in South Boston and immediately
acquired a good practice. He was early noted for his surgical skill
— in fact he had nearly all the surgery in South Boston — and
also for his skill in diagnosis, seeming to arrive at correct conclu-
sions almost intuitively. In every way he proved himself an able,
skillful physician, winning the confidence of his patients and the
respect of other medical men. Soon after he settled in South
Boston he entered heartily into the anti-slavery movement, using
freely his influence and his money to advance the interest of the
cause, and ardently supporting Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Charles
Sumner, and Theodore Parker in their warfare upon the great
evil of slavery.

His parents were Free Will Baptists and he had been brought
up in that faith, but about this time his religious thought under-

404 ROCHESTER.

went a change, so that he connected himself with the society over
which Theodore Parker was pastor.

"When the Know-]^othing party sprang into its ephemeral exist-
ence, and the Roman Catholics of Boston and elsewhere endeav-
ored to put it down, Dr. York took strong sides with that party,
because he believed in free thought, free speech, and absolutely
free government, and did not believe in uneducated, irresponsible
men from other countries dominating and ruling native-born
citizens. For the active part he took in this he came near being
mobbed by the Catholics. He was fearless to the highest degree,
a man of decided convictions, and always ready to defend them,
with his life if necessary.

A large number of medical students graduated from his office
with honor both to themselves and to him, among whom may be
mentioned his nephew. Dr. John Colby York, Dr. W. H. Page
of Rochester, Dr. William Sprague, Dr. J. F. Frisbie of Rochester,
Dr. S. C. Whittier, Dr. W. H. Westcott, and others.

When the civil war broke out he was intensely loyal, believing
the end of slavery would result. Having offered his services to
the United States government, he was stationed at Fairfax Semi-
nary Hospitiil, Va., and Armory Square Hospital in Washington,
D. C.

In 1865, following a too close application to his professional
work, he was prostrated with disease of the stomach from which
he never recovered. Several times he relinquished practice and
partly regained his health, but his active disposition would not
long allow him to rest, and a return to his work brought back
the disease, and after a lingering and painful illness he died in
Dover. He had removed to that city several years before, where he
purchased a small farm, hoping the out-door life might prove bene-
ficial. For a short time his difficulty to some extent abated, but
the disease proved too deeply seated to be easily eradicated. In
1860 he married Mary Elsie Watts, daughter of Charles S. Watts,
Esq., of South Boston, who, with one daughter, survives him.

FRANCIS ORR.

Francis Orr was born in Topsham, Me., in 1816. At the age
of fourteen he went to Boston to obtain a commercial education.

and found employment in a dry goods jobbing house. He showed
an aptitude for business and soon became an excellent accountant.
While book-keeper at the factories in Dudley, Mass., he married
the daughter of Col. John Eddy. After this he was clerk and
■paymaster of the mills at Barre, Mass., and came to Rochester in
December, 1847, to take the position of clerk and book-keeper for
the Norway Plains Company. Here he continued for just thirty
years, when he was stricken with paralysis which confined him
to the house. After an illness of more than six years he died
Nov. 16, 1883, leaving a wife and two children.

Notwithstanding the constant pressure of his counting-room
duties, he was an active man in the interests of the community.
For many years he was an engineer in the fire department, and
always took a deep interest in the welfare of the fire companies.
He was a director in the old Mechanics' Bank, and afterwards a
corporator and director in the Rochester Savings Bank. He was
a member of the Legislature in 1871 and 1873. The latter term
he was chairman of the committee on incorporations and one of
the most valuable members, speaking rarely but always to the point.
Mr. Orr was thoroughly identified with the business of Rochester
for many years, and was well known as a progressive and ener-
getic business man.

CHARLES MAIN.

Charles Main, son of David and Esther (Norwood) Main, and
great-great-grandson of Rev. Amos Main (p. 83), was born in 1817,
orphaned at an early age, and apprenticed to learn the saddlers'
trade at Dover, when fifteen years old. He showed at once an
ambition to master every detail of the business. With only an
ordinary English education, this thoroughness in whatever he
undertook was the foundation of his subsequent success. At the
age of twenty-one he went to Pittsburg, Penn., and soon after to
Nashua, where he worked for several years at his trade. In 1845
he formed a partnership with M. S. Mayo in the manufacture of
carriao;es and harnesses at Boston. While in the heio-ht of busi-
ness success, he was seized with the gold fever, and joined a com-
pany of one hundred young men, who purchased the ship Leonora,
laded her with merchandise, and started for California, Feb. 4, 1849.

406 ROCHESTER.

Sailing around Cape Horn they landed at San Francisco, July 5,
where they made a handsome profit on the cargo. After one
week he went to Benicia, where he built the steamer New Eng-
land, the parts of which tliej had brought in their ship. This
was the first side-wheel steamer on the Sacramento. After boating
provisions and supplies to settlements along the river for a short
time, Mr. Main sold the steamer and went to mining with fair
success. He, however, preferred a business life and formed a
partnership with E. H. Winchester of Fall River, Mass., which
has continued from 1850 to the present time. Both were active,
industrious, closely attentive, and courteous to all customers, and
were soon compelled to enlarge their business. Their trade em-
braces the wholesale and retail business of everything pertaining
to saddlery wares, and they carry the heaviest stock of any in
America. Thorough workmanship, excellence of material, prompt-
itude, and absolute truthfulness have achieved success and carried
their goods to every part of the known world.

Mr. Main married Feb. 8, 1847, Mary A. lS"orton of Providence,
R. I. In 1874 he traveled in Europe. He was several years
president, and always director of the Central Railroad Company
of San Francisco ; also president of the wire-rope Railroad Com-
pany; and a founder and one of the first directors of the Cali-
fornia Insurance Company. He is an attendant and supporter ot
the Unitarian Church, and was conspicuous for his liberality to
the Christian Commission in the time of war. He is widely known
as a public-spirited citizen, identified with the best interests of
California, and active in all enterprises for the public good. He
now stands among the very first of the manufacturers and im-
porting merchants of San Francisco.

DR. ISAAC W. LOUGEE.

JoJm Lougee, born in the island of Jersey in 1695, came to this
country in 1713. He settled in that part of Exeter which is now
JSTewmarket, where he married a Gilman. Their grandson, Joseph
Lougee^ with his wife and eight children lived to an average age
of eighty-three years and three months. The oldest of their eight
children, John F., was born at Exeter, and died in Rochester Jan.

16, 1880, aged ninety-three years. He settled on a farm at Gil-
manton, where he married a daughter of Dr. William Smith, who
had settled there as the first physician in 1767. Dr. Smith was a
man of sterling principle and did much for the educational, moral,
and religious interests of the town in its early history. He lived
to the age of ninety-three years and six months. He had ten sons
and seven daughters, who, with the exception of four who died
in childhood, lived to an average of eighty-four years, and were
all members of the Congregational Church. John F. Lougee had
four children : — Joseph, who died at twent3'-five ; Isaac W. ; Wil-
liam S., who died at twenty-nine; and Elizabeth 31. , wife of L. S.
l^nte of Alton.

Isaac W. Lougee, the second son, was born at Gilmanton Aug.
1, 1818. Having received a common school education, he attended
select schools taught by Rev. C. G. Safford and Hon. George G.
Fogg, and also the Gilmanton Academy. He began the study of
medicine with Dr. Otis French of Gilmanton, and attended lectures
at Hanover and at "Woodstock, Vt. He graduated from Dartmouth
Medical College in 1845, and the following November began the
practice of medicine at 'New Durham. In 1847 he located in Alton,
where he continued for twenty-one years, and then bought out
Dr. James Farrington of Rochester. Subsequently they formed a
partnership, and were in practice together for ten years under the
firm name of Farrington & Lougee.

Dr. Lougee is a member of the Strafford District Medical So-
ciety, of which he has been president, besides holding minor ofiSces.
He is also a member of the State Medical Society, in which he
has held responsible positions. In 1862 he was appointed exam-
ining surgeon for Belknap county. As a physician Dr. Lougee
excels both in diao-nosis and the selection of suitable remedies.
B}' close observation he has been able early to learn the type,
and successfully to treat epidemics of a severe character.

He is a Republican in politics. Very early in life he espoused
the cause of freedom, and was always bitterly opposed to the
extension of slavery. He was postmaster at Alton during the
administration of Presidents Taylor and Fillmore. In 1866 and
1867 he represented Alton in the State Legislature, during v,hich
time he had the satisfaction of voting for the fourteenth amend-
ment of the United States Constitution. In 1877 and 1878 he

represented Eochester in the Legislature, tlie last year serving as
chairman of the Committee on Asylums for the Insane. In 1885
he purchased the " Rochester Courier," which is still (1888) under
his management. He is also one of the directors of the Norway
Plains Savings Bank.

He has heen twice married, — first to Julia A., daughter of
Thomas Ross of Gilmanton. Of this union one child, Mary A.,
was born, who died at Rochester Jan. 8, 1883. Mrs. Lougee died
Aug. 8, 1865, and he married for his second wife, Ellen, daughter
of Hazen Wheeler of Barnstead. Their children are William W.
and Arthur J. The elder graduated from Dartmouth College in
the class of '88, and the younger graduated from the high school
in Rochester, June, 1888.

ELA.

BY MRS. MARY H. ELA.

The first mention of the name of Ela in America occurs in the
town records of Haverhill, Mass., under date of Oct. 19, 1658, as
follows : — "It is voted and granted by the town, that Daniel Ela
shall have four and one half acres of land north of Abraham
Tyler's land, next to the little pond, in the way of exchange for
Abra. Tyler's land, which he, Ela, hath bought by Samuel Geald
at the pond meadow."

The name of Daniel Ela occurs frequently in the town records
from this time, he having been elected many times to offices of
trust by his fellow citizens. Daniel Ela and Elizabeth Baxter were
married in Haverhill, Aug, 28, 1698.

That Daniel Ela was the father of Israel Ela, and the progenitor
of the Ela family in this country, seems almost certain, as he is
the only person of that name mentioned in the records until Israel
is made a freeman in 1677. The descendants of Israel were for
several generations in possession of lands originally granted to
Daniel. From these ancestors can be traced a numerous family,
reaching down to the present time, in one branch of which we
find Enoch Ela of Rochester, N. H., who in 1813 married Mary
Hart of Rochester. One son was born of this union whose life
is the subject of the following biographical sketch, for much of
which we are indebted to excellent and appreciative obituary

notices which appeared in many of the New Hampshire weekly
papers.

Jacob Hart El a was born in Rochester on the 18th of July,
1820. The house in which his parents lived during his infancy,
stood on what is now known as the John Roberts place, at the
south end of the town. Many of his townsmen can remember
the large-hearted, good-natured boy, who was a favorite with his
companions at the village school, where he made the most of the
few advantages afforded for an education. One says ''• he was not
a brilliant scholar; but all that he knew he knew thoroughly, and
he wanted to argue with his teacher about everything that was
debatable." His parents were poor, and he had to struggle for
the little education he obtained. When only fourteen years old
he was apprenticed to a woolen manufacturer, and worked in a
factory until he was seventeen, when he w^ent to Concord to
learn the printers' trade with his cousin George W. Ela, who then
owned and published the " Statesman." Though but a boy in
years, he was then a man in stature, with a mind that was broad-
ening day by day, and a heart always warm with generous im-
pulses. He inherited from his mother not only his large frame
and sound mind, but a love for the eternal principles of right,
and the strong will which could carry these convictions into effect.
He belonged to a juvenile anti-slavery society at this time, and by
its earnest debates was making ready for the more serious warfare
into which he entered later. The first address he ever wrote he
delivered before this society at its annual meeting in the Methodist
Church at Concord in the year 1839. That interest in politics
which was so strong throughout his life was shown at this early
age, when in 1840, with John H. George, Lewis Downing, Jr.,
Daniel J. Abbott, and other young men of Concord, he was active
in forming a " Young Men's Tippecanoe Club," which was of
some account in its day. On attaining his majority, he became
for a time one of the publishers of the " Statesman," but sold out
his interest when it changed hands in 1844. In a letter to IST. P.
Rogers, published in the " Herald of Freedom," Dec. 6, 1844, he
says : — "I have belonged to anti-slavery societies for the last nine
or ten years, and have been a member of one with you, I think,
for the last five years, and for six years have attended and taken
part in the meetings of the State society." This shows his interest

in anti-slavery to date back to the year 1835, a year memorable
for its pro-slavery mobs and attacks upon free speech, when the
young advocate for freedom, burning with sympathy for the en-
slaved, must have longed to be a man that he might take an active
part in the brave work of the Abolitionists. In 1844 he was chosen
recording secretary of the New Hampshire Anti-Slavery Society,
and was also one of the executive committee and secretary of the
board of managers. In December of that year he became the pub-
lishing agent of the " Herald of Freedom," and held that position
until the paper suspended publication July 3, 1846, and the society
ceased to exist. In later years, in speaking of his work with the
Abolitionists, Mr. Ela said: — "I owe everything to it. A man
never fights for great principles without gaining more good for
himself than he can give to the cause."

May 10, 1845, while living in Concord, he married Mrs, Abigail
M. Kelley, who had then three children, who were warmly wel-
comed to his heart and home. In 1847 he returned with his family
to Rochester, and here three sons were born : — Frederic Parker,
May 30, 1848 ; Wendell Phillips, August 20, 1849 ; and Charles Sum-
ner, May 2, 1853. Mrs. Ela was a woman of rare excellence, and
of strong character and intellect. She sympathized heartily with
her husband in every philanthropic work, being especially inter-
ested in the cause of anti-slavery.

In the last years of his life, while living in Washington, Mr.
Ela was the friend of the freedmen, as he had formerly been the
friend of the slaves. They came to him for aid in every enterprise,
and the assistance he freely gave was always accompanied with
kind words of sympathy and encouragement. Probably no other
department office could show upon its roll the names of so many
colored men and women as did his; and he would point with
pride and pleasure to some of them as among his best clerks.

Mr. Ela was not only interested in the moral phase of the anti-
slavery movement, but he also took an active interest in its political
influence. When John P. Hale was dropped by the Democratic
party as a candidate for Congress because of his opposition to the
annexation of Texas as a slave State, Mr. Ela was one of his most
ardent supporters ; and it was largely due to his eftbrts in printing
and circulating votes throughout the State that the Democratic
candidate nominated in place of Mr. Hale was thrice defeated at

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 411

the polls, and that political revolution took place in New Hampshire
Avhich resulted in sending Mr. Hale to the United States Senate
instead of to the House of Representatives. Mr. Ela visited several
parts of the State in the interest of the movement, and when he
■ reached his old home he was made glad by finding that some of his
townsmen had issued the celebrated " Hale Call " for a meeting,
and were already organized and aggressive. In his last visit to Roch-
ester he recounted these scenes, and said it had always aiForded
him the greatest pleasure to remember those men of Rochester
who stood up so squarely against the encroachments of the slave
power. Mr. Ela had printed a prospectus for a campaign paper
to be called " The Hale-Storm," in the editorials of which Moses
A. Cartland and others had promised assistance ; but before the
new enterprise was fairly begun the " Independent Democrat "
was removed from Manchester to Concord, and it was deemed
wiser to abandon the project, and join in strengthening that by
making it the campaign paper. Mr. Ela became a partner in its
publication, and organized the combination which united with it
" The Granite Freeman " and " The JSTew Hampshire Courier."
He was engaged in this work when it became necessary for him
to return to Rochester in 1847. After this, while engaged to some
extent in farming, he was employed as station agent on the rail-
road.

In 1855 Mr. Ela was appointed State Bank Commissioner, and
was one of the selectmen of Rochester in 1856. He represented
the town in the Legislature of 1857-58, and was chairman of the
Committee on Retrenchment and Reform, and also of the Com-
mittee on Elections. One who was in the Legislature with him
says: "Mr, Ela took a very advanced position on the ]N"orthern
side of the great national questions which were then prominent,
and was from the first a conspicuous leader in the advance guard
of the Republicans. I remember well his bold and forcible speeches,
which did much to form and sustain measures in opposition to
the dominant !N"ational party." In common with all other Abo-
litionists, Mr. Ela's indignation was greatly excited by the Dred
Scott Decision, which, if enforced, would oblige every State to coun-
tenance slavery by protecting the slave-holder, and the following
resolutions from the Journal of the New Hampshire Legislature in
1858, introduced b}' him while a member of the Dred Scott com-

mittee, are interesting, as they recall the moral warfare, now almost
forgotten, which was raging thirty years ago : —

" Whereas, Every person bom and living within this State and owing allegi-
ance to no other government, is a citizen of the State, and by the National
Constitution a citizen of the United States, therefore

" Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court con-
vened, — That the action of the State Department of the United States in refusing
to grant passports to persons of African descent contrary to previous practice;
and of the Treasury Department in refusing to grant them registers for their
own vessels, with the right to navigate them as masters; and of the Interior
Department in refusing them the right of entry upon the public domain to be-
come purchasers, is an unjust and illegal denial and an invasion of the rights
of citizens of New Hampshire.

" Resolved — That we are compelled to believe that these invasions of the rights
of our citizens, are the result of the Dred Scott decision, coujjled with a desire
on the part of the National Administration to favor and strengthen the slave-
holding interest, which will be continued so long as slavery remains a ruling
element in the government of the country.

" Resolved, That these and other aggressions of the slave power make the
prohibition of the future extension of slavery a necessity, and its abolition, where
we have the power, a duty.

" Resolved, That the State Government, so far as it has the power, should
secure by its own authority those rights which are denied them by the General
Government.

" Resolved — That our Senators be instructed and our Representatives requested
to use all proper efforts to procure such legislation by Congress as shall secure
to every citizen of the State the full enjoyment of his rights."

Mr. Ela made an able speech in support of these resolutions.
He also drew up the National resolutions which were adopted by
the Legislature of that year.

In 1861 Mr. Ela was appointed by President Lincoln United
States Marshal for ISTew" Hampshire, and held the office until he
was removed hy Andrew Johnson in 1866. The duty of trans-
porting prisoners of war from one fortress to another was a trying
one to his sympathetic nature ; he saw and heard much of the
suifering in both armies, and his heart was stirred with pity for
the brave Confederates, as well as for our own boys in blue.

The glorious Proclamation of Emancipation, by w^hich on the
1st of January, 1863, President Lincoln gave immediate liberty to
four million slaves, was the end for which Abolitionists in the
North had suffered, and hoped, and striven so long; but it came
in the midst of the horrors of civil war, when their joy was tem-
pered by sympathy with mourning hearts and the sight of homes
made desolate; and it was not until the smoke of battle had
cleared away, and they could look back with quiet hearts to the

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 413

triumph achieved, that any real satisfaction was felt. Mr. Ela
lived to hear the South rejoice in its freedom from the institution
which had put chains upon the souls of the masters as heavy as
those they had forged for the slave; to see good schools estab-
lished for the children of freedmen, and many of them coming
forward, with good education, to fill places of usefulness. He was
always patient with their faults, and charitable in his judgment
of even the vicious among them, remembering that the moral
nature which had been so strained and dwarfed by the vice and
degradation of generations of servitude must be developed slowly.

Mr. EL^ was nominated for Congress in the district which then
comprised the counties of Rockingham, Straiibrd, Belknap, and
Carroll, by the Republican convention at Dover, in 1867, having
a majority of but one vote. When he learned how close the vote
had been, he turned with a smile to a friend and said, " It has
always been so in my life; I have had just enough, and nothing
to spare." He received a majority of one thousand votes over-
Daniel Marcy, and was re-elected in 1869 over Ellery A. Hebbard
by a majority of seventeen hundred. After his first election his
friends from Portsmouth and adjoining towns gave him a com-
plimentary banquet at the hotel in Rochester. Addresses were
made by prominent men of Rockijagham county, and Mr. Ela
often referred to it in later years as one of the pleasantest events
of his life. "While in Congress he served on several committees,
and took part in some important debates. He was an economist,
and his blameless life, sound judgment, and good sense made him
respected b}^ all his associates there.

In January, 1872, Mr. Ela was appointed Fifth Auditor of the
Treasury at Washington, and held that position until the summer
of 1881 when, during the Star-Route trial, President Garfield re-
quested him to take the place of Sixth Auditor, or Auditor of
the Treasury for the Post-Ofiice Department. Although loth to
exchange light duties for heavy ones, and old friends for new, Mr.
Ela cheerfully accepted the burden of increased responsibility and
hard work imposed upon him by this change, and here he labored
faithfully during the remainder of his life, never sparing himself,
and finding little time for rest or recreation.

A great sorrow came to Mr. and Mrs. Ela in tiie spring of 1873.
Their eldest son, Frederic, a young man of great promise, — sunny-

414 ROCHESTER.

hearted, affectionate, and brave, — had gone to Japan on his first
voyage as Lieutenant in the Navy. While there a serious iUness
had attacked him, caused, it was believed, by the effect of the cli-
mate and the water of the country. Hoping to save his life, his
physicians ordered his return, and he had sailed from Hong Kong
for San Francisco ; but he was destined never to reach that harbor.
The voyage for him was to the port of Heaven.

In September, 1879, Mrs. Ela, who had been an invalid for many
years, entered into the rest for which she had waited long and pa-
tiently.

In his religion Mr. Ela was not sectarian. Early in life, when
he saw churches either upholding slavery, or keeping silence when
they should have denounced it, he turned from them and espoused
a better and a nobler faith than any he saw there — the religion of
Humanity. That high authority which said " pure religion and un-
defiled is to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, and
to keep himself unspotted from the world," would have found no
fault with his. His sympathies were generous and world-wide; he
was independent in all his views, and maintained them with the
courage of clear conviction. His only creed was the simple one
of " love to God and love to man," and this he lived up to in
every hour of his life. His modest charities were bestowed wil-
lingly and unceasingly. He was so simple and retiring that the
full beauty of his character was revealed only to those who knew
him most intimately. He was the children's friend; his winning
smile and the kindly glance of his blue eyes from beneath the
overhanging eyebrows gained their confidence at once ; and no
wonder, for at heart he was always a child himself. His nature
was too large to harbor any petty feelings of jealousy or revenge.
If an offence or slight was intended, he never seemed to see it.
And yet beneath his habitual serenity there burned a fire which
could on a sudden leap to the surface and blaze hotly for a mo-
ment; but these rare surprises only served to deepen one's admi-
ration for his usual self-control. His conscience was quick to
administer its own rebuke, and his self-judgments were searching
and just. He rarely sought to defend himself if the honesty of
his motives was questioned, or any slur was cast upon his char-
acter, as will sometimes happen to every man in public life.
" They hurt themselves more than they can hurt me," he said,

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 415

when urged to do so ; "a man who has done nothing wrong has
nothing to fear." Truly,

" His armor was his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill ! "

Mr. Ehi believed in total abstinence, and many will remember
how hard he strove to keep the town free from the scourge of
intemperance when he lived in Rochester. He was deeply attached
to his native town and, in all the years of his enforced absence,
would call no other place home. He had the best interests of the
town always at heart, and many improvements in and around the
village were made through his persistent efltbrts. One of his fellow
townsmen said of him : — " The people of Rochester knew Mr.
Ela well. He had been an active man all his days ; his neighbors
knew him and believed in him. and respected him for his whole-
heartedness. His friends were found in the common walks of life ;
they were men who had known him all his life, and they loved
to tell of his success." Mr. Ela had faith in the principles of the
Republican party. He took an active part in every political cam-
paign in New Hampshire for more than thirty years, and often
assisted in those of other States. He had not the gift of eloquence,
but he seemed always to know upon what points his hearers most
needed to be enlightened, and his ripe experience, sound sense,
and a simple directness of speech, to which his evident sincerity
gave dignit}^ and power, made him a popular and influential
speaker. The workingmen always saw in him a true friend who
had their best interests at heart, for he had fought their battles
and helped to secure the passage of the law which reduced the
day's work from twelve hours to ten. "When the Korth was
electrified by the first call for volunteers to march against the
Rebels, it was he who wrote the call for Rochester's first war
meeting and carried it to other citizens for signatures (p. 196).
He drew up the patriotic resolutions which were adopted, including
a call for a town meeting to encourage volunteers by providing
for their families in their absence.

Mr. Ela used to recall with pleasure the fact that he secured
the services of Anna Dickinson at the outset of her public career,
and made arrangements for the first ten political speeches ever
made by her. They were made in his own Congressional District

416 ROCHESTER.

in 1863. The eloquence which a little later gained the admiration
of the country, arousing the patriotism and thrilling the hearts of
all who heard her, was a revelation of the power of woman which
will never be forgotten.

In the last years of his life Mr. Ela made the right relations
between labor and capital a constant stud}'. He deplored tho
injustice of monopolies and the greed of capitalists, and longed to
see laws enacted which should help the workingman.

The instinctive love of liberty and of justice he showed in other
things made him a friend to the cause of woman's suffrage. He
believed that the natural and inalienable rights of man and woman
were the same, and that she could decide for herself whether her
happiness and welfare would be helped or hindered by the ballot.

In each office where Mr. Ela was auditor, he seemed more like
a father among his children than like a chief with his subordi-
nates. If any were in trouble, he listened patiently to their griefs
and gave them good advice. If a man was in debt, with a family
to support, he lent him money, and tried to see that he used it
wisely. With infinite patience he strove to reform the intemperate,
forgiving offences again and again for the sake of the wife and chil-
dren who would suffer if the man should lose his position. Often,
in such a case, he would oblige the delinquent to allow his vdfe to
come to the office and take his salary when it was due. &wch an
office is a community in itself, and there was hardly a man or wo-
man there who did not feel sure of a firm friend in the good au^--
ditor, and try to serve him well. One who was associated with him-
there expressed this feeling in a letter written soon after Mr. Ela's ;
death, as follows : — " From the first day of his coming here I have
been attached to him, and my regard has grown with the passing
months and years. I early learned to respect his exact justice to;
all, and to love him for his childlike simplicity, and his tenderness
to those in trouble and distress. He was the kindest and best of
men, and loved to go out of his way to do good whether appre-
ciated or not. Until forced to do so, he never believed evil of any
one. I wish all the world knew his real sterling worth, his purity,
honesty, simplicity, and love of right and justice, as I knew it.
How patient and long-suffering he was ! And yet with all his
loving-kindness, tenderness, and gentleness, he was possessed of
a rare discriminating business tact, decision, judgment, and power

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 417

of mind given to but very few men. He came to the duties of
this othee unacquainted with its details, precedents, and usages,
and yet his decisions of vexed questions stand confirmed and sus-
tained by high authority in almost every instance."
• Mr. Ela loved all animals. He was a judge of horses, and liked
to own a good one. In the last years of his life he kept one in
Washington, which he had raised himself, and a pleasant drive
was the recreation of every day. He enjoyed " a good brush "
on the road, and was not often beaten in a race. As he flew
along the road, he would seem to feel the excitement of it in every
nerve, and his fine face would glow with pleasure. He loved the
beautiful in everything. He knew every drive for miles around
the city, and no fine view or picturesque point escaped his notice.
He knew, too, where the wild flowers grew, each in its season,
and took pleasure in gathering them for his friends. iSTo enjoy-
ment of any kind was ever complete to him unless he could share it
with some one. In one of the last weeks of his life, when I think
he knew the shadow of another world had fallen upon him, he said :
" The greatest happiness I have had in life has come from doing
good to others." He seemed to walk by a clearer light than is given
to most of us, and he was at all times *' a tower of strength " to
those about him.

In October, 1880, Mr. Ela married Miss Mary Handerson of
Keene, N. H., youngest daughter of Hon. Phinehas Handerson,
who, many years ago, was a distinguished member of the Cheshire
bar. In the winter of 1882-83 Charles S. Ela went to Colorado
on some business for his father, and in the hope that the change
of climate might also benefit his health, which had for some time
been delicate. He gained in health so fast for a time that he
wished to live in Colorado for a few years. He became interested
in cattle raising, and induced his father to form a company for
that business, of which he was to be superintendent. In the sum-
mer of 1883 Mr. Ela went to Colorado to visit his son and see
for himself how matters looked there. He was a good deal worn
by his ofiicial work when he started, and the journey was taken
too hurriedly. It was many years since he had been much on
horseback, and the rough ride of thirty or forty miles from Grand
Junction to the cattle-range was too hard for him. . He was so ill
in the little cabin on the mountain that he feared he should not

live to see home again. He did return, but he was never well
again, for just as he was beginning to seem more like his old
self news came that his son was very ill in Denver, and was fol-
lowed soon by the terrible tidings of his death. From this time
Mr. Ela lost much of his courage and his interest in life. The
daily work of his office was more than he was equal to, and with
the faithfulness to every duty and the disregard of self which
characterized his life, he took no rest, — postponing the summer's
vacation until the overtaxed system could not resist the insidious
disease, flicial erysipelas, which at last attacked him. He was at
his desk for the last time on the 13th of August, 1884, and on
the morning of the 21st the brave soul, for which death had no
terrors, passed peacefully away into another life.

From a brief memorial which accompanied resolutions adopted
by his brother officers of the Treasury Department after Mr. Ela's
death, we copy the following: —

" Mr. Ela was appointed Fifth Auditor of the Treasury in Januaiy, 1872, and
held that office until Jinie 2, 1881, when he was appointed Auditor of the
Treasury for the Post-Olfice Department. He brought to these positions a ripe
experience in public affairs, both State and National ; and throughout his con-
tinuance in the Tieasury service, extended far beyond the average term allotted
to the Head of a Bureau, his conduct of these offices commends him as a con-
scientious and faithful official. In some respects he was a man of marked
characteristics. His modest demeanor, his honesty of purpose, and his official
integrity won for him the confidence of all; while his kindness of manner
secured their high regard. His relations with those immediately connected with
and subordinate to him were especially happy. Affable in his intercourse, just
in his methods, and quick in his sympathies and appreciation, he was esteemed
the friend of each, and none to-day mourn with us his loss more sincerely."

One of the resolutions adopted by the sorrowing friends in his
own office reads as follows : —

" That we esteem it a privilege, individually and collectively, to have known
and been associated with an official of such marked ability, sympathetic nature,
and purity of character ; and while we feel that his death is in a peculiar sense
our personal loss, we realize that the public service has been deprived of one
of its ablest and best servants, whose long service has been distinguished by
great simplicity and purity of life."

The good words which were w^ritten and spoken of Mr. Ela in
sincerest grief and appreciation by many warm personal friends
might fill a volume, but the limits of this sketch will not permit
us to print them.

The news of Mr. Ela's death was heard in Rochester with heart-

felt sorrow. Her citizens gathered in Haj-es Hall on the evening
of the 23d and adopted resolutions expressing their afl'ection and
respect, the first of which we give here : —

. " Resolved, That it is with deep sorrow we learn of the sudden death of our
beloved townsman ; and while in this dispensation we acknowledge the hand of
a wise and overruling Providence, we feel that we have lost a kind neighbor,
a true friend, and a fellow citizen ever faithful to his convictions of right, and
one who has spent the years of an active life with no selfish purpose, but with a
paramount desire to relieve the burdens of others, as at all times manifested
by his acts in behalf of struggling humanity."

On the 25th places of business were closed from 12 to 5 o'clock
p. M., and at the funeral services the old Congregational Church
was tilled with mournino; friends from Rochester and the neiffh-
boring towns. Rev. Mr. Mellen of Dover preached an impressive
sermon from the simple text " A good man,'" and a long proces-
sion, escorted by the Sampson Post, G. A. R., which had asked
the privilege of thus showing its respect, moved slowly and sadly
to the cemetery.

" Alike are life and death

When life in death survives,
And the uninterrupted breath
Inspires a thousand lives.

Were a star quenched on high,

For ages would its light,
Still traveling downward from the sky,

Shine on our mortal sight.

So, when a good man dies,

For years beyond our ken
The light he leaves behind him lies

Upon the paths of men."

GREENFIELD.

John Torr, the oldest son of Simon and Sarah (Ham) Torr (p.
428), born in 1781 on the old Torr farm in Rochester, had his
name changed to John Greenfield, because soon after he began
business in Rochester his brother, Jonathan Torr, opened a store
in the same place, and their goods would get badly mixed. He
was reared as a tanner, shoemaker, and farmer, and very early
showed signs of great foresight. About 1812 to 1813, he com-

menced trading in Rochester, and for nearly or quite fifty years
was one of the most successful business men in town. He was
full of energy, and possessing a sound judgment was always able
to make good investments. He was somewhat advanced in years
when he married Phebe Wentworth and had four children : —
Charles; Sarah E., wife of E. G. Wallace of Rochester; Ella G.,
Mrs. Daniel J. Parsons, who died November, 1886 ; and George,
who married Mary F., daughter of John Parshley of Strafford,
had five children, and died September, 1871. John Greenfield
died at seventy-five years of age, Jan. 13, 1863, leaving his family
an ample fortune, and what is much better, a good name. Some
of his children are among the most highly educated people of
Rochester, and all are good, worthy citizens.

Charles Greenfield was born in Rochester Feb, 18, 1826, and
received a common school and academic education till he was
fourteen, when he commenced farming, which has been his prin-
cipal employment since. Upon the death of his father in 1863
he received his proportion of his father's estate, and this has
accumulated till noAv (1888) he is considered one of the wealthy
men of the town. He possesses quick perception, clear judgment,
and sound reason. He has seldom, if ever, made a financial
mistake, and his word is as good as his bond. He owns several
hundred acres in Rochester, and though nominally a farmer, yet
he makes his money otherwise. In politics he is a Republican. He
is a director of the Rochester JN'ational Bank, trustee in the Nor-
way Plains Savings Bank, and stockholder in various railroad and
manufacturing interests. He married Aroline B., daughter of
Gershom and Sally P. Downs of Rochester, July 5, 1846. She was
born in Rochester May 17, 1826. Their children are : — 1. 31illie A.,
wife of Horace L. Worcester, a newsdealer in Rochester. 2. John,
who fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Exeter, and entered
Dartmouth in 1868. In 1876 he was elected a member of the board
of selectmen, and has since been four times re-elected. He has
also served the town as tax collector and as chief engineer of the
fire department. In 1879 he was elected high sheriff' of the county,
and was twice re-elected. 3. Ella S., wife of Justin M. Leavitt
of Buxton, Me., who is now register of deeds for York county,
Maine. 4. Sarah E., wife of George W. Young of Lowell, Mass.,
an ofificer in the Massachusetts Reformatory at Concord, Mass.

LOTHROP.

From the parish of Lowthorpe, Yorkshire, England, came 3Iark
Loihrop, the grandson of John Lowthorpe, and settled in Salem,
Mass., about 1643. His grandson of the same name married
Hannah Alden, great-granddaugher of John and Priscilla. Their
great-grandson, Daniel Lothrop, settled in Rochester, where he mar-
ried Sophia, daughter of Dea. Jeremiah Home. She was a beau-
tiful woman of lofty thoughts and noble aspirations. Her influence
had great power in molding and directing the character of her
sons. He was loved and respected for his man}- excellent traits
of character, and repeatedly represented the town in the Legis-
lature. His wise, practical sense did good service in defending
the rights of liberty for all men. The home on Haven's Hill was
in many respects an ideal one, a center of moral and religious
influence, and of general intelligence.

James Elbridge Lothrop, the oldest son of Daniel and Sophia,
was born in Rochester Xov. 30, 1826. The father, adding the
trade of a mason to his care of the farm, was frequently absent,
consequently James, as the eldest son, had much responsibility
and care at an early age. He attended school winters, and did
a man's work on the farm summers. At ten vears of ao-e he
would take a load of wood to Dover and sell it before seven
o'clock in the morning. Sturdy and self-reliant, at nine years of
age he walked to Dover and returned bringing a large Latin
lexicon for his own use. From the district school he went to
the academies at Rochester and Strafford. At sixteen years of age
'he taught the winter school in the upper district in Rochester,
following with a private school in the same place. He was then
fitted to enter college a year in advance. By the advice of his
uncle. Dr. Jeremiah Home of Fall River, Mass., he began the study
of medicine in his office, where he also learned the drug business.
After two years he returned home with fifteen dollars in his

pocket. Borrowino; three liiinclred dollars from his fi\ther he
opened a drug store at Dover in the fall of 1845. From that
simple beginning at nineteen years of age, has grown a business
of nearly a million dollars annually. The Lothrop clothing house
now occupies the spot where this drug store then stood. For
more than a year he conducted the business entirely alone, doing
all the regular work by day, and distributing his own advertise-
ments by night to the houses of the citizens. Such energetic
industry of course commanded success, and he soon repaid the
borrowed money. Desiring to complete the study of medicine,
he invited his younger brother Daniel to take charge of his drug
business, holding out the inducement of an equal share in the
profits, and that the firm should be known as " D. Lothrop & Co."
Having attended lectures at Bowdoin Medical College he went
also to Philadelphia, where he graduated with the degree of M. D.
from the Jefferson Medical College in 1848. Returning to Dover
his business increased so rapidly that he gave up all thought of
medical practice. It was decided that Daniel should open a drug
store at Xewmarket under the same firm name, and another
brother, John C. LothrojJ, was received into equal partnership.
The drug store at Dover still continues under the name " Lothrops
& Pinkham." For forty years these brothers have presented a
remarkable instance of family union. There has been an absolute
unity of interests, though established in difterent cities, each bavin 2;
direction of the business best suited to his own tastes and abilitv.
Other stores were subsequently opened at Meredith Bridge, now
Laconia, Amesbury Mills, Mass., and at Great Falls, where John
C. still remams, who is prominent in church and Sabbath school
work, and influential in all matters of public interest.

About 1855, their father desiring to enter trade, they opened a
clothing house in Dover as " D. Lothrop & Sons," and soon estab-
lished branches at Rochester and Great Falls. It is not necessary to
follow minutely all the changes in their widely extended business.
Another brother, Ji. Heni'}/ Lothrop, who has been president of the
common council of Dover, after a service of eight years as sales-
man took a half interest in the clothing store at Dover. In 1880 he
was transferred to the Boston department, and the Dover clothing
business is now conducted under the name of "Lothrops, Farn-
ham & Co."

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 423

In 1873 there was added to the Dover business a musical de-
partment, which is now the largest of its kind in the State, and
perhaps in ^e\v Enghand.

James E. Lothrop, being the senior partner, has always retained
a general financial leadership in all the departments of the firm.
His business capacity is remarkable, even in these days of mer-
chant millionaires. !Never disturbed, never hurried, never ruffled
in temper, fertile in plans, ready for all emergencies, he never
seems in the least burdened with his multiplied cares. He has
been constantly sought for to fill places of responsibility, where
integrity and business capacity were needed. He has been
director in the Coeheco National Bank from 1858, and its presi-
dent since 1876. In 1871 he became a director in the Coeheco
Aqueduct Association, and its president since 1875. He has also
been a director in the Portsmouth & Dover Railroad, in the Eliot
Bridge Company, and in the Dover Horse Railroad, and president
of the Dover Board of Trade.

In 1872 Dr. Lothroj) was chosen to the Legislature. In 1883
he was elected Mavor of Dover. His uniform business success,
due to organization, forethought, energy, and integrity, eminently
fitted him for the position. He managed the city affairs precisely
as he would his own business, and with such success as to win the
highest regard and confidence of the citizens, irrespective of party,
who re-elected him with an increased majority. His inflexible
determination that the city should not be imposed upon won the
victory in the noted valve case, which was tried at Dover prepar-
atory to an attack on Boston. The most important measure of
his administration as mayor was the establishment of a free public
library. He brought forward the subject in his inaugural address,
and with determined energ}' pressed the matter to final success.
His name will always be identified with this most valuable public
institution. " Foster's Democrat," an intensely partisan sheet,
nevertheless spoke of Mayor Lothrop in these words : — " He does
not agree with us in politics, but Dover never had a better mayor,
in our judgment. A good, practical, energetic, and successful
business man, a man of public spirit and enterprise, a man who
knows the principles of true economy and how to practice them
witliout being penurious, a man of honor and integrity, who can
safely be trusted with the control of all city improvements and

424 ROCHESTER.

enterprises without being continually suspected of having a 'job'
to feather his own nest, a man who can be trusted in private
fltfairs and is known to be good for his word of honor every time,
— a good, fair, and square representative of the intelligence and
business of our honorable business people. We know him in a
business way like a book, and a squarer and more honorable man
does not exist." Dr. Lothrop married Mary E., the daughter of
Joseph Morrill of Dover. In politics he is a Republican, in religion
a Methodist, and has been a teacher in the Sunday School for
more than forty years.

Daniel Lothrop, son of Daniel and Sophia, was born in Roch-
ester Aug. 11, 1831. As a boy he was studious and unusually
successful in acquiring knowledge. He had a quick and retentive
memory and a remarkable mathematical intuition. He had a natural
taste for trade, and when only five years of age played the man of
business, having the sign " D. Lothrop & Co." nailed on the door of
his playhouse, little dreaming of the renown that coming years
would bring to that very name. Fitted for college at the age of
fourteen, his somewhat slender physique led his friends to advise
him to remain out of college a year. His brother James at this
time invited him to take his drug store at Dover, offering the
firm name of his boyhood as an inducement. Here his knowledge
of Latin was a great help, and from this time began his distin-
guished business career. To the varied experience gained in the
several drug stores which he conducted, was now added that of
a new business. In 1850 a large stock of books was purchased,
and thus began the great book trade by which the firm is most
extensively known. Enterprise, energ}', sound judgment, and
unwavering integrity characterized all his dealings from the first.
In 1856 Daniel Lothrop visited the West. He decided to locate at
St. Peter, in Minnesota. Here he established a banking house
wdiich proved a great success, his uncle, Jeremiah Home, being
the cashier, and a book and drug store in which he gave one of
his former clerks an interest. The opening of his store at this
place was an illustration of his characteristic energy in the exe-
cution of his plans. The early freezing of the Mississippi pre-
vented the arrival of his goods at the time expected. Having
contracted with the St. Peter Company to erect a building and
open his store on the first of December, he went several hun-

~ Is-

dred miles down the river to the various landings searching for
his goods. N'ot finding them, he bought out the entire stock
of a drug store at St. Paul, and with several large teams started
for St. Peter. A fearful snow storm prolonged the trip of two
.days to five. Within a mile of their destination it was noc<}ssary
to cross the Minnesota river on the ice, which was thought to be
too thin to bear tlie heavy teams. Consequently the}' were all
unloaded and the goods transported on light sledges, and the drug
store icas opened on the very day agreed upon. The financial crisis of
1857-58, together with an Indian raid, and the change of the
capital from St. Peter to St. Paul, caused the failure of many firms
which had represented millions. Great loss came to Mr. Lothrop,
but he met every liability in full. On his annual business visit
to iN'ew England, allowing himself no rest, he was prostrated with
congestion of the lungs. A consultation of physicians gave no
hope of his recovery. The celebrated Dr. Bowditch having been
called, with no knowledge of his patient's history, said, on exam-
ination, " He has been doing twenty years' work in ten."
He, however, gave encouragement, and under his treatment
Mr. Lothrop so far recovered as to be able to take a trip to
Florida, where the needed rest restored his health.

From this time his energies were more and more concentrated
upon the book business, to which his mind had long been attracted.
This must be regarded as really his life work. Into this he has
put the matured forces of his manhood. For this w^ork he was
peculiarly fitted by natural abilities, by the foundation of a clas-
sical education giving him judgment and literary taste, by his
business tact and energy, and a practical experience of the markets
and the popular tastes. He entered upon this great work of a
publishing house not hastily, but first laying carefully the founda-
tions. His aim was not merely financial success, but with broader
purpose to help mankind. At the start he laid down as a prin-
ciple from which there should be no swerving, '■'■Never to publish
a work purely sensational, no matter what chances of money it has
in it, and to publish books that will make true, steadfast growth in right
living.'^ From this principle he has never departed. He has bent
the energies of his mind to this one object, to put good whole-
some literature into the hands of the people. Turning naturally
to the young as those through whom he could best influence

426 ROCHESTER.

society, his publications have been largely of Sunday school books.
The Sunday school library was a channel through which he could
reach the largest audiences of the young. The family and house-
hold library was another practical channel of paramount import-
ance. In the spring of 1868 Mr. Lothrop selected three men,
whose judgment he deemed w^orthy of trust, and laid before them
his plans and purposes, — Rev. George T. Day, D. D., Prof. Hemau
Lincoln, D. D., and Rev. J. E. Rankin, I). D. While they frankly
told him the undertaking was very difficult, his intentions met
their cordial approval, and every book since published has been first
read and approved by one or more of these men. Establishing
his business on Cornhill, the first book published was " Andy
Luttrell," which proved a great success. It was well said, " The
series of which this is the initiatory volume marks a new era
in Sunday school literature," To establish a new publishing
house in competition with old and long-known firms, besides new
ones ready to contest every inch of ground, required pluck and
energy beyond that of most men; but Mr. Lothrop had no
thought of failure. He began with a courage that could face the
utmost, and a determination that had already won the battle. He
had a remarkable instinct to discern real ability in a new writer,
and great enthusiasm, which proved a stimulus and encourage-
ment to timid beginners. He had a hopeful word for every
applicant, and knew how to bring out the best of every one's
talent. His before unprecedented ofier of !^1,000 and $500 prizes
for manuscripts seemed a wild experiment to mau}^; but it proved
eminently successful. It would be a surprise to many to read a
list of authors, now noted, who brought their first manuscripts to
Mr. Lothrop with fear and trembling.

The great fire of 1872 brought him severe loss. A large quan-
tity of paper intended for the first edition of the sixteen |1,000
prize books was replaced within two weeks, when it was again
lost by another fire; but a third lot was procured and the printing
went on with but little delay. It was well remarked in the
newspapers that " Mr. Lothrop seems ivarmed up to his work."

"We cannot here attempt to give any impression of the number
and variety of his publications in history, biography, and general
literature. The names of the most distinguished authors are iu
his catalogue. Visiting Europe he made the acquaintance of

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 427

Georse MacDonukl, who arrano-ed with him that he should
pubhsh the manuscripts of his latest novels before they were
issued in England. Thus Mr. Lothrop has published the entire
series of his novels. The number of books printed in a single
•year is upwards of a million and a half. About 1885 " The
Interstate Publishing Company " was incorporated in Illinois^
with headquarters at Chicago, and a branch in Boston. The
object is educational, especially to supply for schools iirst-class
literature supplementary to regular school work. Of this company
Mr. Lothrop is president, and to it he has transferred some of his
best educational books.

One of his most important enterprises was the establishment in
1874 of the popular magazine for young people, " Wide Awake."
After this came " Babyland," a marvel of attractive beauty for the
little ones. Then followed " Our Little Men and Women," " The
Pansy," for Sunday Schools, and " The Chautauqua Young Folks'
Journal." All these are full of pure and noble thought, yielding
great pleasure and amusement, with excellent instruction. They
mark a most valuable new departure in the periodical world.

Hard, unflinching devotion to work, and determination to excel
in all that is best, a steady perseverance through discouragement
and loss, have brous-ht him well-earned renown and success.

Daniel Lothrop's first wife was Ellen J., daughter of Joseph
Morrill of Dover. She died in 1880 and he afterwards married
Harriet Mulford, daughter of Sidney Mason Stone of IsTew Haven,
Conn. She is widely known and beloved under her pseudonym,
" Margaret Sidney." The author of " Five Little Peppers " will
always be a favorite. " The Pettibone I^ame," " A 'New De-
parture for Girls," and many other stories indicate the unusual
versatility and attractive power of her genius. She has also writ-
ten some fine poetry, and is justly ranked among the very best
writers of juvenile literature. She is well known also for her
interest and activity in all church and missionary work, and is
a prominent contributor to "Life and Light."

The summer home of Daniel Lothrop is the well-known " Way-
side," at Concord, Mass., forever fragrant with tender memories
of the gentle Hawthorne, whose " study in the tower " is certainly
a fitting workshop for " Margaret Sidney." It is worthy of men-
tion that the first child born in this house within a century is

TORR.

Vincent Torr came from England and settled in Dover, on the
farm still owned by one of his descendants. His son Simoyi settled
in Rochester in 1775 on the farm still owned by his grandson.
A part of the house then built is still standing, and the same old
clock which he brought is still in use there. He married Sarah
Ham and had four daughters and three sons. The oldest son,
John, became John Greenfield (p. 419). The youngest son, Jonathan
M., married Sally McDuffee, purchased the Jabez Dame store,
where he carried on the dry goods business with Simon Chase
and afterwards John McDuffee as partners. He subsequently traded
in Dover and in Portsmouth, and then returned to Rochester,
where he died Jan. 25, 1881, at the age of eighty-seven. He re-
membered being taken by his father and mother on horseback
to Dover, and thence by boat to Portsmouth, to see General Wash-
ington, who smiled and patted his head. The second son, Simon
Torr, Jr., followed farming and tanning, as did his father before
him. He married Betsey, daughter of Thomas Davis, and had
four children : — Charles and Simo7i A., both of whom died young;
John F. ; and Sarah JE., who married Lewis E. Hanson.

John F. Torr, whose portrait is here given, was born in Roch-
ester April 8, 1829, and still occupies the old homestead. With
very limited advantages for education, j-et inheriting many of the
qualities of his ancestors, he is highly respected for his energy,
financial ability, and business success. He is a Republican in
politics, and though never an office seeker has served the town
as selectman. March 17, 1868, he married Mary C. Downes of
Farmington. Their cliildren are Charles C, Simon A., and
George A,

CHASE.

Her. John Chase was a settled minister at Spruce Creek, Kittery,
Me., and had four sons: — Josiah, John, Thomas, and Bradstreet,
Josiah settled at York, Me., Thomas and Bradstreet remained on
the old homestead, John married Harriet Dennett of Kittery and
moved to Berwick, Me., which at that time was a wilderness.
He had six sons and two daughters: — Sally, Betsey, Thomas^
John, Josiah, Simon, Mark, and Abraham.

Thomas and John remained at home, Josiah settled at Liming-
ton, Me., Mark at Newfield, Me., and Shnon at the age of thirteen
was bound out to Reuben Tabor, a hatter, where he remained
four years. He then went to Portsmouth and worked with a Mr.
Kelley as a journej-man hatter. In the winter of 1805 he attended
Berwick Academy, and in the spring of 1806 went to Rochester,
being recommended to Joseph Hanson by Joshua Meader, and
entered Hanson's store as a clerk, receiving ninety-six dollars the
first year. He remained with Mr. Hanson four years, and in 1810
went into business for himself at Milton.

Simon Chase was born Sept. 30, 1786, and married Sarah Win-
gate, daughter of Enoch Wingate of Milton, Oct. 28, 1813. He
removed to Rochester in 1822, and went into business in company
with Jonathan Torr. In 182-5 he bought Torr's interest in the
business, and built a new brick store. The same year he bought
the house on Central Square which was his home until his death,
which occurred January 31, 1878. His wife died June 14, 1870.
Too-ether with Charles Dennett and James C. Cole he was instru-
mental in building the first Methodist Church in Rochester, of
which he was an active member (p. 263). He had ten children :
— Beteey E., Wingate, George W., John D., Mary Y., Harriet L.,
Charles K., Sarah F., Maria Josephine, and one who died in
infiincy.

Charles K. Chase was born in Rochester March 17, 1830. At
the age of seventeen he left Warren Academy at Woburn, Mass.,
and entered his father's store as clerk, and at the end of four
years bought the store and business. In April, 1855, he married
Ellen M. Burleigh, youngest daughter of John and Phebe Burleigh
of Sandwich. He had five children: — Charles S., Grace M. J.,
Nellie, Jessie, who died in infancy, and Harry W, Dec. 26, 1876,

he married Mrs. Abbie McD. Whitebouse, dangbter of John
McDuffee (p. 367), and bad two cbildren, Sarab McD., wbo died in
cbildbood, and Maud H.

During tbe first year of tbe war be was elected one of tbe com-
mittee to pay out tbe funds due tbe families of soldiers wbo bad
enlisted in tbe service of tbe United States. He took a decided
and unflincbing stand for temperance, rumsbops and rum drinking
having increased to an alarming extent as one of the results of
tbe war. He was appointed by tbe town one of a committee of five
to prosecute all violations of tbe prohibitory law (p. 315). They
were in a great measure successful in their work, having closed
all the liquor saloons in town. Tbe credit, bowever, was not due
to the committee alone, but to tbe temperance part of the com-
munity, backed by tbe 'strong arm of the law and the sympathy
of the court, especially Hon. Joshua G. Hall, county solicitor, and
Judge Doe. They were threatened many times with violence, and
Mr. Chase's store was damaged one Saturday night by being fired
into with a gun in the bands of some person employed to do it.
Tbe shot went the entire length of the store, which did not take
fire, as was probably the intention. A reward of two hundred dol-
lars was oflPered by tbe selectmen of tbe town for the conviction of
tbe person wbo did it, but without success. The friends of temper-
ance made up the loss to Mr. Chase. At the call of tbe first State
Temperance Convention Mr. Chase was present in sympathy with
the movement. Believing in the ballot box as well as the law^ to
suppress tbe evil, be voted with that party as long as be hved.

In August, 1878, tbe old brick store built by his father was fired
by an incendiary and destroyed with its contents. The loss to Mr.
Chase was very heavy, but he was not discouraged. As soon as
possible the ruins were cleared away, and October 1, 1878, tbe
foundation was laid for a fine new block. Tbe work was pushed
rapidly, and the new store was opened with a new stock of dry
goods April 29, 1879.

Mr. Chase soon after retired from business with failing health,
and died after a long illness, Feb. 13, 1887. As a trader be excelled
in his fine taste in selecting goods, and was widely known for his
honest dealing. Many of his customers could never be induced to
trade elsewhere.

In politics he was originally a stanch Whig, casting his first

vote for James Bell for governor, and while his father and brothers
voted with the Free-soilers he continued to vote the Whig ticket
till the advent of the Republican party, of which he became an
active member. He served the town as clerk, and was elected to
the Legislature.

He was a member of Humane Lodge of Masons, and also of
the' Royal Arch Chapter. He was for lifteen years an earnest and
efficient member of the Methodist Church, to whom his death was
a o'reat loss.

PLACE.

John Place came from Devonshire, England, and settled in N'ew-
ington, N. H., about 1688. About 1700 he removed to Rochester,
and built a log house not far from the old burying ground on
Haven's Hill, where he died at a great age. Richard Place, son
of John, is supposed to have come from England with his father.
He was a man of great strength and athletic proportions, weighing
about two hundred and fifty pounds, and over six feet two inches
in height. He was a terror to the Indians for miles around, and
was much respected by his townsmen. He lived to the age of
one hundred and five years. A daughter of Richard Place mar-
ried Xoah Thompson of Berwick, Me. John Place, son of Richard,
settled on the Barrington road, where an old cellar can still be
seen near the corner on the Roberts homestead where the old
road from Rochester abruptly turns to the west. He was born
about 1716, and died in his seventj'-first year, leaving five children :
— David, Samuel, John, Betty, and Susannah. Samuel went to
!N^ewburyport, Mass., and afterwards to Portsmouth, and served his
country in the battle of Bunker Hill. John settled in the west
part of Rochester, and the Rev. Enoch Place (p. 343), Noah, and
Moses Place were among his descendants. Betty married Ephraim
Ham, grandson of Eleazer, and lived on the old homestead near
Gonic. Susannah married the Rev. Jeremiah Wise of Sanford,
Me. David Place, known as captain, and afterwards colonel, served
as captain in the Revolution (p. 59). He was born February,
1741, and married about 1762 his cousin Susannah, dauo^hter of
Noah Thompson of Berwick, Me. He settled on a farm of three
hundred acres given him by his father, now know^i as the " Went-
worth farm," on the north side of the old road from Gonic to

432 ROCHESTER.

Norway Plains, and then including the " Chesley farm" on Hus-
sey Hill. He died May, 1821, and was buried in the old grave-
yard just below Rochester village. On this farm his seven children
were born and reared : — Mary, James, David, Stephen, Mehitable,.
Elizabeth, and Isaac. Mary married Barnabas Palmer and removed
to Athens, Me. James and David died at the ages of sixteen and
six respectively. Mehitable never married, but lived on the home-
stead with her brother Isaac. Elizabeth married a Mr. Evans
and lived at Gonic. They had five children, — three daughters,,
and two sons, Rufus and John. The latter was in trade in Roch-
ester for several years. Rufus settled in Macon, Georgia, and
married and raised a family there. His posterity still reside there.
Isaac, who was given the homestead by his father, Captain Place,,
married and raised a family of four sons and a daughter. His
eldest son's name was David, who settled in Dover, and left two
sons, — Delmore and Henry. The latter is now teller in the
Franklin Savings Bank in Boston, Mass.

Stephen Place was born March 26, 1770, and married in 1799 Eliz-
abeth Chesley, whose father, James Chesley, lived to over one hun-
dred years of age. His father gave him the " Chesley farm," where
his children were born. He afterwards built a house in Gonic,
where he died April 9, 1858. He and his wife lie buried in
the graveyard at Gonic. They had seven children: — Eliza F..
married William S. Ricker of Rochester ; Susan A. married N. V.
"Whitehouse (p. 355); Charles; James H. married Lydia A.
Chesley of Rochester ; Isaac married Abigail Willey of Durham ;
David married Caroline Crockett of Dover; and Mary Jane
married Samuel J. Varney (p. 400). Charles Place married Maria
G., daughter of James Willey of Durham, and had eight children,,
the third of whom,

James Franklin Place, was born at Gonic Jan. 16, 1837. At-
tending the village school at Gonic till fourteen years of age, he
then removed with his father to Lawrence, Mass., where he com-
pleted a course of study in the Oliver High School. He then
went to Boston and was employed four years in the grocery store
of I. S. Trafton on Harvard street, in whose family he lived. Mr.
Trafton was deacon in the Christian Church on Kneeland street, a
member of the City Government, and a very prominent and active
anti-slavery Republican. Young Place here received his strongest

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 433

political impressions, and as an editor years after made use with
telling effect of many points remembered from the earnest political
discussions in Trafton's store.

In 1860 Mr. Place returned to Lawrence and formed a co-part-
nership with C. A. Dockham in the publication of the "Daily
Journal " of that city. This business venture lasted till just before
he established the " Rochester Courier " in 1864 (p. 186). In the
meantime he spent a year in the army in Louisiana, being assigned
to clerical duty in the Brigade Quartermaster's Department of the
Third Division under General Banks (p. 227). This position gave him
special opportunities for his constant newspaper correspondence.
While before Port Hudson he was captured by a raid of Confed-
erate Cavalry, but was soon released. He was among the very
first to enter Port Hudson after its surrender, and sent early details
of the capture to his paper.

The " Rochester Courier," which he established on returning
from the army, he soon placed on a paying basis, and took an
independent and active part in local and State politics. In 1866
he was appointed postmaster at Rochester, but resigned in about a
year, having purchased a half interest in the " Journal " at Bid-
deford. Me.

In 1868 Mr. Place removed to San Francisco, Cal., where he
entered upon a career of great business prosperity, as U member
of the firm of " Berry & Place," and afterwards of the house of
"Treadwell & Co.," extensive dealers in machinery and agricultural
implements. After fifteen years, his partners having died, he dis-
posed of his business and returned to jSTew York City, where he
has since been engaged in superintending the manufacture and
sale of machinery of his own invention.

While publishing the " Rochester Courier " Mr. Place married
Miss Sara Potter, a graduate of the same school he attended,
and daughter of George W. Potter. They have two children, a
daughter Laura, born in Rochester Sept. 2, 1866, and a son
Clarence, born in Oakland, California, Nov. 2, 1872. Two other
children, Ethel, the second child, aged three and a half years,
and the youngest, an infant girl, lie buried in " Mountain View "
Cemetery at Oakland.

Mr. Place is a Republican of the old school, and intensely Amer-
ican in all his views, — a cardinal principle of his being never to

buy anything not made in his own country ; a believer in a strong
federal government, — a oration, and a State subordinate thereto;
a tariff for protection only, a one-term presidency, and an educated
ballot. He still frequently contributes to the press, but close ap-
plication to his private business prevents his taking that prominent
part in public affairs for which he is eminently qualified.

OSMAN B. WARREN.

OsMAN B. Warren is the present quartermaster of Sampson
Post, G. A. R. He was born in Rochester, Sept. 15, 1845. His
parents were James and Lydia Warren. His father was well
known as a Methodist minister, both in this section and in Maine.
As soon as Mr. Warren became old enough he attended the public
schools, where he remained until 1860. He then went to work
for George Johnson & Co., one of the first of Rochester's shoe
firms, who then manufactured in Dodge's building, at the lower
end of the village. He afterwards left this firm and went into
the employ of E. G. & E. Wallace, the well-known shoe manufac-
turers, where he remained until August 1, 1862, when he enlisted
as a private for three years in the Mnth New Hampshire Volun-
teer Infantrj", and was mustered in at Concord, August 11. He
left the State Aus-ust 25th and arrived in Washins^ton the 27th.
The regiment encamped on the estate of General Lee, which is
situated on Arlington Heights, on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac river. September 1st the Ninth Regiment was assigned to the
First Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Arm}^ Corps. September
14, 1862, Mr. Warren took part in the battle of South Mountain,
Md,, and on the 17th in the terrible slaughter at Antietam. Later
on he was in two skirmishes, once at Wheatland and once at
White Sulphur Springs, Virginia. He participated in the battle
of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862. In March, 1863, he went down
the Potomac to Fortress Monroe and camped at Newport News, on
the James river. From there the regiment was ordered to Coving-
ton, Ky. Then they went down on the Kentucky Central Railroad
to Lexington and Nicholasville, and drove the famous rebel general,
John Morgan, and his raiders from the State of Kentucky. In
Jane, 1863, the Ninth Corps was ordered to re-enforce General
Grant at Vicksburg. They landed at Haines's Bluff, twelve miles

LEADING MEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION. 435

in the rear of Vicksburg, facing that part of the Confederate army
comniantlecl by General Johnson. Mr. Warren was present at the
surrender of Vicksburg July 3, 1863. The Union army then
followed Johnson to Big Black river, where a battle took place
in which Mr. "Warren participated, and he was also present in the
battle of Jackson, Miss. In the middle of July they were again
ordered to Kentucky, and from thence to Eastern Tennessee for
the purpose of relieving General Burnside. At Knoxville Mr.
Warren was promoted to orderly sergeant. In the spring of 1864
they were ordered to join General Grant's command at Wash-
ington. On May 5th and 6th they took part in the terrible battle
of the Wilderness, one of the fiercest of the war, in which thirty
thousand men were sacrificed. In this battle they were on the
left of the line under command of General Burnside. On May
12, 1864, at the battle of Spottsylvania Court House, Mr. Warren
was taken prisoner in a charge upon the enemy's intrenchments.
He was marched from the battlefield to Gordonsville, Va., where
he took the cars to Lynchburg, and from thence he was taken
to Danville, Ya. At the last named place he, in company with
twelve hundred prisoners, was confined in an old tobacco ware-
house until May 24. He was taken to Andersonville, Ga., the
worst prison pen of ancient or modern times, a name to be re-
membered throughout all time with the utmost horror. The
sufferings he endured during these long months, and saw others
endure, are too horrible to relate. Here he remained until the
latter part of September, when he was taken to Charleston, S. C,
and, in company with other Union prisoners, was confined in the
city under fire of the guns from Morris Island. He was kept at
Charleston until the latter part of October, when he was removed
to the famous Florence prison. South Carolina, remaining here until
February, 1865, when he was sent into the Union lines at Wil-
mington, N. C, under parole. Mr. Warren was then sent to parole
camp, Annapolis, Md. Here he was furloughed and sent home
in the latter part of March, 1865. He was discharged from the
United States service at Concord, N. H., in June, 1865, and came
home with a war record which few men are able to excel.

Mr. Warren was a charter member of Sampson Post No. 22,
and was its first quartermaster. He has been commander three
terms. He was a delegate from the Department encampment to

Baptist Church at Effingham very creditably for six months. His
home was the abode of peace and plenty, where people of culture

Franklin McDuffee, third son of Capt. Johu and Abigail
(Torr) McDuffee, was born at Rochester Feb. 21, 1809. His early-
years gave tokens of superior talents, and hopes of an eminent
future. From the war stories of his great-nncle, Colonel McDuffee
(p. 117), he early imbibed a spirit of military patriotism, and after
studious preparation eagerly sought an appointment in the military
academy at West Point. The first year he was the twenty-sixth
in scholarship in a class of seventy, and forty-ninth in conduct in
a list of two hundred and nine. The last year he stood eleventh
in scholarship in a class of forty-nine, and thirty-second in conduct
in a list of two hundred and eleven. He graduated in June, 1832,
and was commissioned Lieutenant of Artillery. He was just about
returning home after an absence of two years, when he volun-
teered to join an expedition under General Scott to defend the
Western frontier against the Indians. He reached Fort Chicago,
where he died of cholera July 15, 1832. A friend wrote: — " I have
never marked the development of such estimable qualities in one
so young. His life, short as it was, was filled with noble actions,
and his personal courage was above all suspicion. He combined
in a high degree the excellences of the warrior with the amiable
qualities of the most ardent lover of peace. Had he been per-
mitted to live he would have been an ornament to his country,
and have encircled his head with the laurels of fame."

CHAPTER Xy.

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER.

" Freedom, hand in hand with Labor,
Walketh strong and brave."

Next to religion and education, the most important part of the
history of any people is their industry. Nor can there be any
true religion without diligence in business; nor can children be
l">roperly educated without labor. Religion, education, and in-
dustry form a trinity of light and power bringing character,
happiness, and prosperity wherever they abide. The three must
go together or they all perish. For without the other two, reli-
gion becomes superstition, education is reduced to a cipher, and
industry turns to drudgery. Together they bring to any people
unceasing progress in all that exalts or blesses humanit}'. Having
already presented the religious and educational history of Roch-
ester we come to speak more particularly of its industries.

As "the king himself is served by the field," agriculture lies
at the foundation of all industries. So, like other New Hamp-
shire towns, Rochester was at first almost entirely a farming
community. And though this industry has lost its relative im-
portance, it has by no means become obsolete. The number of
acres of improved land is not far from twenty thousand. Com-
bining the United States census with the tax list, and taking the
larger number in each case, the farm products for the year 1850
were as follows; — 328 horses, 2,098 neat cattle, 1,491 sheep, 586
hogs, 123 bushels of wheat, 303 of barley, 757 of rye, 3,086 of
oats, 13,789 of Indian corn, 661 of beans and pease, 31,652 of
potatoes, 4,335 tons of hay, 2,700 pounds of hops, 49,591 of butter,
21,860 of cheese, 4,359 of wool, and 385 of beeswax and honey.
The State report for 1876 gives 421 bushels of wheat, 330 of
barley, 55 of rye, 776 of oats, 7,959 of Indian corn, 533 of beans
and pease, 44,371 of potatoes, 3,192 tons of hay, 13,581 pounds

of butter, and 161,092 quarts of milk. In 1881 are reported 646
horses, 1,423 neat cattle, and 522 sheep. In 1888 there were
1,400 pounds of wool, and 171,550 quarts of milk. These figures
evidently suggest the gradual decay of the farming interest. The
bleak hill-sides and stony soil of New England cannot successfully
compete with the fertile prairies of the West. The increasing
number of horses and the diminishing quantity of butter, point
to village growth demanding more teams and a larger supply of
milk.

Other industries sprang up as the growing necessities of the
people required. At fi.rst they supplied their own wants with
many things now produced only by special trades. Thus farmers
often did their own carpenter work, and had sets of cooper's or
shoemaker's tools, and not unfrequently tan-yards of their own, be-
sides making nearly all their own clothing. (Chap, VIII.) Almost
every kind of industry has been here represented at some time
and it is now impossible to even approximate a complete record
of the persons by whom, and the places where, the various
business of Rochester has been carried on. Only a desultory
sketch can be presented. It would be difficult to trace the historj-
of any kind of business through all its changes from its beginning
to the present time. With brief allusions to the past, and an
outline sketch, or condensed summary of the present, the aim of
this chapter will be to give some impression, though necessarily
inadequate, of the gradual evolution of the business of Rochester.

A previous chapter has already presented a statement of the
business soon after the Revolution. Some idea of the business
twenty years later can be gathered from the tax-list of 1806. The
whole amount of "Stock in Trade" for that year was: — ISTathan-
iel Uphani, $1,500; Joseph Hanson, and Jonas C. March, |1,300
each; David Barker, and Jabez Dame, $500 each; Andrew Pierce,
and Haines & Ela, $300 each; Edward S. Moulton, $200; and
Joseph Sherburne, $50; making in all, $5,950. Six tanneries were
taxed, the three highest of which were Moses Hale's at $650,
Simon Torr's at $200, and Anthony Whitehousc's at $50. :Nrorway
Plains upper saw-mill was taxed for $2,400; and McDutfee &
Dame's fulling mill. Haven & Smith's grist mill, and Downing &
Tebbets's grist mill, $200 each. Capt. John Odiorne was taxed
as a saddler,, and William Pigeon as a tobacconist.

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 465

This amount of business seems very small and the figures insig-
nificant in presence of the immense sums now invested in trade
and manufactures. But they were not small in those days. iN'or
were these men less enterprising than the traders and manufac-
turers of to-day. They were the shrewd, energetic, successful men
of their time.

Coming down to 1820, we have a sketch of the west side of the
street, written by Jeremiah Hall Woodman (p. 334), a short time
before his death in 1888, from which we take the following items:
On the corner of Main street and the Parade, was a store con-
nected with the house, both two stories in height, belonging to
William Ilurd. Next on the north was the blacksmith's shop
and dwelling of Samuel Demeritt, then the two-story house of
Hatevil Knight. Not far from Mr. Knight's was the two-story
tailor shop and house of John Roberts. A large vacant lot, on
which the academy was afterwards built, was between this and
the one-story house of Simon Ross, in close proximity to which
was the residence of John Smith, the blacksmith. This was
the home of Professor Upham during his pastorate here (p. 240).
Next came the two-stor}^ brick cabinet-shop of Charles Dennett,
with a yard between it and his house, which was also two stories
in height and painted white, as were nearly all Rochester houses
at that period. On the next lot was a one-story, unpainted
house occupied by Paul Harford and his two daughters, Abigail
and Charlotte (p. 129). Next stood the village schoolhouse, a
long, low, one-story, unpainted building, with a small belfry, and
bell of corresponding size, on the middle (p. 165). A vacant
lot, soon after built upon by Joseph Warren, led to J. H. Wood-
man's, now the Mansion House (p. 838). A broad passage-way
was between this and the law office, which was a two-roomed,
one-stor}' building fronting the street. Next was a building of
which the lower story was Mr. Buzzell's store, and the upper his
dwelling. James C. Cole's brick store was next, in the lower
part of which he manufactured clocks, repaired watches, and sold
jewelry. Passing down the lane to the "old Reed Tavern," was
the house of Mr. Cole, and farther down the lane on the other
side the dwelling of John Richards, afterwards the home of Hon.
J. H. Ela. Returning to Main street and passing the stores of
Nathaniel Upham and Jonas C. March, at the corner of the tavern

yard stood the store of Messrs. Home & Cross. The next building
was a small storehouse of Moses Hale, from which one lane on
the south led to his tanyard, and another by his barn to his house,
between which and the street was his a-arden. Close to his house
was the road leading down to the grist-mill and woolen factory
of the Barkers, at the lower falls. At the middle falls was a small
foundry owned by Home & Cross; also a saw-mill. At the upper
falls Caleb Dame had a falling mill, and above the bridge was
another saw-mill. Opposite the lane leading to the Wakefield
road was a two-story, unpainted house owned, but not occupied,
by Caleb Dame; also the blacksmith shop of James Tebbetts.
The traders on the opposite side of the street were Hanson, Green-
field, Chase, and Chapman, all near Central Squai-e, and Tristram
Heard with his son, I^at, at the lower end of the street. Jonathan
H. Torr went into trade the same year (p. 428). On this side also
was the "Barker Tavern," and the residence of the Barker family.
The ancient one-story "Moses Hurd house," still standing at the
lower end of the street, was the residence of "Lawyer Clark."
Passing over thirty years, or one generation, we come to the
year 1850. The tax list gives $49,600 " Stock in Trade," and
126,070 for " Mills and Machinery." In general trade there still
remained Hanson, Chase, Torr, and Greenfield who sold the same
year to Benjamin Jones & Co. James C. Cole was still in the
jewelry business. There had been added the stores of Watson
Hayes, Nathaniel Davis, the company of Stephen M. & Eben J.
Mathes, and the Barkers who sold the same year to John Folsom.
In the shoe trade were Levi W. Allen, and Joseph Yarney &
Co. ; Alfred D. Kelley and Meader & Glidden were in the tin
business. Onion & Richards, also Edmund Frye and George W.
Hall had tanneries near where Wallace's now is. Thomas C. Davis
was taxed as a tailor, and Thomas Brown as a harness maker.
There were two blacksmiths and two shoemakers. Day & Stevens
had a small marble shop; James M. Fessenden manufactured
files; and Isaac Libbey made hair-covered trunks, studded with
brass nails, in a little shop towards Great Falls. Under the head
of " Mills and Machinery," the Barkers were taxed for S2,600,
Simon & Enoch W. Chase for $1,700, N. D. Wetraore for $3,000,
and the Norway Plains Co. for $12,000, with $15,000 " Stock in
Trade."

At Goiiic, "W. H. Y. Burnham had a store, James H. Place
was blacksmith, Bean, Canney & Co. had a small factory where
they did custom carding, weaving, and fulling. N. V, Whiteliouse
& Co. were taxed for $5,000 on " Mills and Machinery," and
$4,000 on "Stock in Trade."

The business at East Rochester was little besides the chair shop
of Stephen Shorey and the store from which he supplied his
workmen with dry 2:oods and ^oceries.

From about this time may be reckoned the exit of the old
" country store," where every conceivable commodity was ready
to supply family or individual needs. Very early on the ground,
it is now impossible to trace its rise and progress to the numerous
successors in every variety of trade which now imperfectly supply
its place. The first store is said to have been kept by Capt. Samuel
Storer (p. 131) from Portsmouth, who also made potash where
Hale's tan-yard was. Capt. Moses Roberts, son of the first settler
(p. 43) and grandfather of Dr. M. R. Warren (p. 441), had one of
the earliest stores, where the " Factory Store " now is. Stephen
"Wentworth had a store in a shed connected with the " Wolfe
Tavern " on Haven hill. Joseph Hanson traded in his house
which stood near where the Xorway Plains Savings Bank now is.
His first stock was tea, tobacco, a few small articles like pins and
needles, and a barrel of rum, of which he sold enough to his first
customer to buy another barrel. In 1810 he built the first brick
store in the county (p. 394). Upham and March built their rival
stores at the beginning of the century, and about this time Andrew
Pierce had the largest assortment of dry goods in town, in a store
on the site of John P. Trickey's present residence. The second
brick store was built by Simon Chase in 1825, and afterwards
occupied by his son, C. K. Chase (p. 429). The third brick store,
now occupied by the " Rochester Loan and Banking Company,"
was built in 1835 by Watson Hayes, who came from Barnstead
the year before and continued in business here for thirty-five
years.

The present generation knows almost nothing of the " country
store" in its pristine perfection. The institution has ceased to
exist. Even the general store of the small countr}^ town to-day
bears small resemblance to that of fifty and seventy -five years ago.
To elderly persons the words " country store " suggest a low, narrow

room, with cob-webbed windows, whose 6X8 panes are dark with
many layers of dust, — floors blackened with years of the indus-
trious painting of tobacco chewers lounging on boxes, barrels,
tubs, broken chairs, and wooden benches notched and carved by
the universal Yankee jack-knife, — imbibing inspiration and com-
fort out of yellow tumblers supplied from black bottles and brown
jugs, — the air sometimes thick with smoke, but generally thicker
with profanity, stories of no doubtful propriety, angry political
debates, spicy gossip, etc. These stores have really no legitimate
successors. To speak of them as containing even the germ of the
large and elegant establishments of the present, demands more
credulity than Darwin's " Descent of Man." Look, for instance,
at the dry goods store built by the Salingers in 1886, — a sales-
room 155X45 feet, steam-heated, gas-lighted, furnished with all
the modern contrivances for transmitting bundles and cash to all
parts of the room, — with ladies' parlor, and offices elegantly fitted
up with all desirable and luxurious conveniences, — a wholesale
department with traveling salesman, — a mail-order department
with special clerk, — and a cemented cellar under the whole, with
a special vault for storing furs through the summer. " The mis-
sing link " would certainly be hard to find.

Groceries in the old stores meant cod-fish, molasses, raisins,
sugar, and 'New England rum. As habits of living changed, and
the wants of the public increased, these supplies increased in
quantity and variety till separate grocery stores were established,
some now selling |50,000 or $60,000 worth of goods annually, —
an extent of business that would have greatly startled even the
wealthiest and most successful of the old-time merchants.

.One enterprise is worthy of notice as illustrating the intensity
of political feeling a generation since. In February, 1859, a stock
company was formed with Major John Walker as president, who
built the " Union Democratic Store," now occupied by Frank E.
Wallace. The preamble to their articles of agreement began with
these words: — "Whereas the Eepublican party has adopted a
narrow and restrictive policy," etc. William Rand was their agent,
and Charles W. Brown clerk for two years; then Brown was
agent, and Nathaniel Burnham clerk. After two years more,
Burnham and Brown bought the stock, and the company disbanded.

The " New England Protective Union " Store, No. 186, was estab-
lished about 1850, in the front end of " brick row," but moved
in a short time to a building nearly opposite the end of Union
street, where is now the junction of Market and Bridge streets.
.David Legro was agent, soon followed by Levi W. Allen. William
C. Fernald, — who with his ever-pleasant smile, kind words, oblig-
ing disposition, and strict integrity, won the title of "Neighbor
Fernald," — took charge in 1864, and retired upon the closing of
the store May 26, 1876.

The " Sovereigns of Industry " opened a store in the fall of 1875
on Charles street opposite Liberty street. They moved to Rail-
road Avenue, and thence to Odd Fellows' Block, and sold to J. G.
Morrill & Co. January 1, 1885.

The " Grange " built and opened the store where Nowell & Me-
serve now are in 1876. They employed George D. Nowell as
agent, and carried on a large business for ten years.

The lirst meat market in Rochester was opened in 1849, in the
basement of Dodge's old building, by Daniel McDufFee & Emu-
lus Gowen. They sold out to J. S. Gilman, who has been prom-
inent in the business ever since. The first restaurant was started
by Newell J. Bickford, in the spring of 1849, where Wolf's store
now is. In the following summer he also started the first bakery.
He sold out the next year, and is now confectioner at Great Falls.
The manufacture of candy was begun in 1877 by C. A. Davis
in Wentworth Block.

In 1807 Edward S. Moulton began clock-making in a small
wooden building, where is now the corner of Main and Arrow
streets (p. 133). Afterwards Thomas Bryant, brother-in-law of
Capt. Joseph Dame, followed the same business in a one-story
house, which having been remodeled became the residence of the
late Moses W. Willey, on Elm street. Still later, James Cross,
sou of Richard, carried on the same business in his father's house
below the common. In 1812 James C. Cole, having served his ap-
prenticeship with Mr. Moulton, established the same business, and
added that of watch-maker and jeweler. In place of the wooden
shop, he erected the brick building now occupied by Miss Warren, in
the upper story of which the Free Masons practised their mysteries.

He was an iieergetic workman, thorough and conscientious. The
silverware stamped with his name was in demand through all the
surrounding country, as certain to be what he sold it for. He
married Betsey, the daughter of John ISTutter, and had two sons
and three daughters. Skubael went into the same business at
Great Falls; Elizabeth married C. P. Weeks, and died in 1852;
Sarah Jane was an accomplished teacher, and died January 14,
1889 ; the other two died young. Mr. Cole was a very prominent
member of the Methodist Church (p. 264), one of the first trustees
of the Norway Plains Savings Bank, ten years secretary of the
Masonic lodge, thirteen years town clerk, and two years in the
Legislature.

The first drug-store was one side of the old Hanson store
(p. 394), where Humphrey Hanson kept an assortment of roots and
herbs with a few drugs. As the business increased he moved into
the adjoining store, which he occupied till his death in 1824.
Joseph Hanson, Jr., then took the business till he also died after
a few years. It was then sold to Dr. Joseph Smith, who employed
Dominicus Hanson as clerk, whose father bought him the business.
After two years, feeling the need of more education, Dominicus
sold the medicines to the doctors, and let the store to Weeks the
hatter. While he was away at school, the store burned down.
After graduating from Hopkinton Academy, he returned and re-
built in 1837. His new store had the finest front and the largest
panes of glass of any in the county, and was packed from cellar
to roof with almost everything nameable in the drug line (p. 396).
This was all burned in December, 1880. Mr. Hanson rebuilt
immediately, and in June, 1884, leased the store to R. Dewitt
Burnham, the present occupant.

The change from the old methods of tailoring began early in
the present century. John Eoberts, Jr., came to Rochester in
1812, and opened a tailor's shop at the lower end of the street,
near the present railroad crossing. His business was large, ex-
tending to all the neighboring towns. He soon added that of
merchant tailor, and after a few years removed to where J. J.
Meader now is. He took into partnership his former apprentice,
Thomas C. Davis, who carried on the business for many years

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 471

witli James Piric for assistant and afterwards partner. Perhaps
the change in this business, since the century came in, is not so
great as in some others, yet Roberts would certainly have been
surprised to step into the large clothing stores of to-day, the oldest
of which is that of the Feinemans, who began business here
nearly forty years ago. They deal in both custom and ready-made
goods, making a specialty of the former, and having the largest
custom business in this vicinity.

Blacksmithing must have been nearly coeval with farming, but
like other trades its beginning is obscure. One of the early black-
smiths of the last century was Jacob Hanson, who lived where
his grandson Samuel now resides. From about 1780 to 1800
Josiah Wentworth had a blacksmith's shop where is now Dodge's
building on Central Square, and lived in a small house opposite.
Silas Wentworth came from Rockport, Mass., in 1834, and built
a small shop where the townhouse now stands. The next year
he bought the old schoolhouse (p. 165), aad moved it to the same
spot for a blacksmith's shop. It was afterwards moved to Went-
worth street, where it is still occupied by his son.

Before 1812 Eliphalet Home had a nail shop in part of his
mill. He bought old Spanish hoops from hogsheads and casks,
cut the nails and headed them by hand. About 1850 James M.
Fessenden began the manufacture of files near where the " upper
mill " stands, and continued the business for about ten years. The
first tin-worker here was Alfred D. Kellev in 1849, follow^ed the
next year by Meader & Glidden.

In 1877 C. E. Clark started a machine shop. In 1888 he built
a foundry and established the "Rochester Foundry and Machine
Company." They have a large general business, while making a
specialty of Mr. Clark's inventions. A foundry for brass and iron
was started in 1879 by Harrison Soule. Nine years later he built
a much larger shop, where he makes several hundred Hussey
plows every year, and does repairing for factories in all the
region. J. W. Berry and W. X, jMorrison are connected with
this foundry as machinists. In 1883 J. H. Duntley opened a shop
for "jobbing and edge-tools."

T. H. Edgerly started a carriage shop in 1865, where he makes
the higher grades of light carriages, and has established a wide

472 ROCHESTER.

reputation for first-class work. In 1883 Edwin Welch began the
manufacture of heavy carriages.

Gold, silver, and nickel electro-plating is carried on by E. H.
Corson. He also makes a specialty of bicycles ; is the author of
the "Star Rider's Manual of Bicycling;" publishes the "Star
Advocate," a bicycle monthly with a circulation of one thousand,
and has made several inventions, especially the " Corson Star
saddle," which is coming into general use among " cyclists."

In 1889 a very important new industry was introduced into
Rochester by the Kiesel Fire-Brick Company. They own ledges
of mica silex on Blue Job, which will furnish an unlimited supply
of suitable material. The rock is first crushed and pulverized,
and after molding each brick is subjected to a pressure of two
hundred tons before burning. The product is claimed to be the
best brick in the world, able to resist the most powerful acids
and alkalies, as well as the most intense heat. They manufacture
all sizes and shapes of bricks, blocks and slabs, crucibles, cupels,
muffles, stove-linings, etc. The general manager is G. M. Brown,
with H. C. Ingraham as superintendent of the works. "When
running in full, some two hundred workmen will be employed.

The gradual development of lights for public and domestic use,
from the torch of " fat pine " and the tallow candle, through
whale oil, "lard oil," camphene, "burning fluid," gas, gasoline,
" rosin oil," and kerosene, to the electric light of the present, is
one of the best illustrations of progress in modern civilization.
After considerable agitation of the subject, an Exeter company
in 1885 put in six street lights, and about three times as many
store lights on the Ball electric system. By January, 1887, the
street lights had increased to thirty-one. This company sold to
the Thomson-Houston company, who put in a new plant for
incandescent lights in the fall of 1886, and extended the lines to
Gonic and East Rochester, now running seventy-five street lights,
besides lighting nearly all places of business.

As already suggested, tanneries, on a small scale, were very
numerous in the early days. Seven years were then deemed

necessary to produce good leather, and the farmers largely did
their own tanning. Kow the best leather is produced in a few
days, by the power of steam, and no farmer can furnish hides-
enough to pay for the equipment necessary to tan them. !N"a
accurate list can now be given of the shoemakers of this period
who went from house to house to ply their trade (p. 137), nor
of their immediate successors, who labored in more permanent
shops. No kind of business has had more changes than this^
passing through the time of " poor old Hannah binding shoes,"
when half-made shoes were distributed from family to family for
" stitching and binding," to the immense establishments of to-day
where every process from cutting to pegging is rushed through
by machinery with almost incredible rapidity. The beginning of
what may be called shoe manufacturing in Rochester was early
in the year 1843, when Richard Hayes of Natick, Mass., started
a small factory here, continuing the business about five years,
Abram A. Perley was in a store opposite the bank, about 1848-50,.
wdiere he cut shoes and had them made up by such as would
take them. He was followed by Joseph Varney & Co., and after-
wards by Levi W. Allen. James Bodge cut and manufactured
shoes in Dodge's building about 1853, and Was followed by J. D.
& D. J. Evans. Micajah Wentworth began the manufacture of
" brogans " in a small shop above the Bridge, in 1854. The next
year he went into company with David Hayes, in a shop at the
corner of Wakefield and Summer streets. In 1857 he was in
company with W. B. K. Hodgdon in what is now Worcester &
Greenfield's store. After one year they built a large double shop
near where the railroad station now is. In the fall of 1859 they
each built separate shops near by, and in 1860 let the large shop,
one half to N. T. & J. B. Kimball, and the other half to Hutchins
& Coburn. The same year S. J. & R. B. Wentworth had a shoe
factory at the end of Wentworth street. In 1858, before hiring
of Hodgdon & Wentworth, N. T. Kimball & Son from Farmingtou
had started a shoe factory in Hall's old tannery, which had been
unoccupied for seven years. Charles Johnson continued the business
there for some years after. In 1869 sundry citizens built a shop
on Elm street, which they let to J. L. Duntley, who carried on
an extensive shoe business for thirteen years. A company of
citizens built a shop back of Wakefield-street schoolhouse, which

they leased to F. W". Breed of Lynn, Mass., for five years from
January, 1885, with the privilege of then renewing the lease for
another five years.

One of the most important industries of Rochester is the exten-
sive leather and shoe business of the Wallaces. Ebenezer G. and
Edwin Wallace are twin sons of Rev. Linzey and Abigail (Gowell)
Wallace of Berwick, Me., where they were born January 5, 1823.
At the age of seventeen Ebenezer was apprenticed to Oliver Hill
of Berwick to learn the trade of a tanner and currier, while his
brother remained on the farm. His pay was forty dollars a year
and his board. But by working extra hours and holidays, he
managed to save over a hundred dollars during his apprenticeship.
The two bi"others then went to Exeter Academy, taking the full
course in preparation for college. While here, they met expenses
by tanning calf-skins during the hours that could be spared from
school duties. Nevertheless, by diligence in study, they found
themselves promoted to the first division, when it became neces-
sary to divide the class to which they belonged. After leaving
Exeter, Edwin returned home and worked on the farm summers,
teaching school in the winter. Ebenezer went to Rochester, and
worked at his trade in the tannery of Home & Hall, and also at
Furber's in Farmington. Seized with the gold fever, he sold his
stock to his brother, and joined the " Bay State Company," who
went to California in the spring of 1849. He returned after
three years of fair success in the mines. In May, 1853, he married
Sarah E. Greenfield (p. 420), and after a year in Concord, returned
to Rochester. They have two sons, both graduates of Dartmouth
(p. 459), and three daughters, graduates of Lasell Seminary, Au-
burndale, Mass. Ebenezer G. Wallace served two years as repre-
sentative to the Legislature, and was a member of the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1876.

During the absence of E. G. Wallace in California, his brother
Edwin had been encrao-ed in the leather business at Rochester,
with varying success. One incident indicates his characteristic
energy and integrity. Having become financially embarrassed on
account of the failure of parties wdio owed him considerable sums,
his principal creditors voluntarily ottered to settle with him for
fifty cents on a dollar. But he firmly refused, saying that every
man should be paid in full, and so managed that every demand

was met, without a single note going to protest. Mr. Wallace
was a member of the House of Representatives in 1870, and of
the state Senate the following year. He married, first, Susan R,
daughter of William Whitehouse of Rochester, who died leaving
one daughter, the late wife of H. D. Jacobs of Brooklyn, jST. Y.
About 1859 he married Mary E., daughter of Seneca Landers of
Woodstock, Me., where she was born January 13, 1836. She
died November 10, 1889, leaving one son and two daughters.
She was one of the " best known and most universally beloved "
of Rochester people. A member of the Congregational church,
her life, characterized by " Christian womanliness," was one which
was well " worth living." The funeral text, " She hath done what
she could," was specially appropriate to her life in all its public
and private relations.

In 1858 the firm of E. G. & E. Wallace was formed. One
took charge of the tannery, and the other of the curry-shop, em-
ploying six or eight hands. After a few years they bought out
the concern which had been owned by Onion & Richards, and
gradually enlarged the business. At the beginning of the war
they were largely tanning calf-skins, and the market suddenly
failed them. They concluded to work up the stock themselves,
and thus began boot making. Soon after they also began the
shoe business on a small scale, employing Lafayette Wiggin to
superintend the work. He was a man of skill and experience,
trusted by the firm and popular with the help, and was kept at
his post as a tried and successful manager for nearly thirty years.
In June, 1883, he retired from business on account of failing
health. From small beginnings the business of the Wallaces has
become the largest of the kind in the State. Their tannery works
occupy five acres of ground, and their boot and shoe business is
in two brick factories, one of three stories, 36X179 feet in dimen-
sions, with a wing 36X65 feet; the other of four stories, 50X120
feet in size. These are supplied with the best modern machinery
operated by a steam engine of one hundred and twenty horse
power. About four thousand pairs of shoes are turned out daily,
and their goods have a high reputation for quality, style, dura-
bility, and cheapness. Besides their Rochester business, they have
large interests in other corporations in various parts of the country.
Thoroughly identified with the best interests of the town, to their

476 ROCHESTER.

enterprise and energy Rochester owes much of its present growth
and prosperity.

The physical features of the town evidently marked it out as
" foreordained " to manufacturing. The extensive water-power of
the Cocheco and the Salmon Falls rivers would certainly be utilized.
Saw-mills and grist mills were, as everywhere, an early necessity.
As no one man in those times was able to build such mills, the
farmers of a neighborhood would join together and build one on
shares, each share entitling the owner to the use of the mill for
one day. Such a twenty-four share saw-mill was built very early
where the "Upper Mill" stands. David Barker bought this mill
which he afterwards sold to the " Mechanics Manufacturing Com-
pan3^" It remained standing till the brick mill was built about
1862. A grist mill was established lower down on the opposite
side of the river, which after many years became dilapidated by
neglect and was finally swept away by a freshet. Benjamin Barker
built a saw and grist-mill on the same side of the river below the
present property of the "l^orway Plains Company." Hanscam
& McDuifee bought and remodeled these mills, and carried on the
business, with a grain store in McDuifee Block a part of the time,
from 1876 till 1887, when Fremont Goodwin began the manufac-
ture of paper boxes, and a year later established the firm of
Goodwin, Trask & Company. The saw and grist mills are still
retained, but their principal business is the manufacture of both
paper and wooden boxes, house frames, and fittings. Using an-
nually one hundred tons of straw-board, and forty tons of paper,
and more than six hundred thousand feet of lumber, they supply
not only the manufacturers of this town, but largely those of
Dover and Great Falls, also of Springvale and Saccarappa, Me.
In May, 1887, George E. Varney built a steam grist mill on Me-
chanics' Square, and has built up an extensive grain trade. A sash
and blind factory with a large business was established in 1876,
near the Union Railway Station, by J. H. Meserve.

About 1788 Jabez Dame and Col. John McDuffee established
a fulling mill on the present site of the "iJ^orway Plains Upper
Mill." Afterwards Caleb Dame carried on business here for a
time and then sold to David Barker, Jr. The real beginning of
the modern type of woolen manufacture in Rochester was the
introduction of a carding machine by Eliphalet Home in 1811.

His shop, owned by David Barker, was near w^here the " Middle
Mill" now stands, and people came from far and near to see the
wonderful process of making rolls by machinery. This building
was burned the following year, and Mr. Barker erected a two-
story mill on the same spot, where in addition to carding, he
introduced the manufacture of cotton yarn. Barker & Chapman
carried on business here for many years, and about 1833 began
the manufacture of blankets.

In 1834 the "Mechanics Compan}"" was incorporated, consist-
ing of Algernon S. Howard, Eichard Kimball, Joseph Anthony,
and their associates, all of Great Falls. They built the "Lower
Mill," where they made blankets for six or seven years, when
they failed, having sunk their whole capital, and paid no debts.

In 1837 the "Rochester Company" was organized, but never
did any business.

In 1842 George Gledghill took the "Upper Mill" at Rochester
Village and advertised that he had twenty years' experience, and
would take \vool on shares or by the yard, to manufacture into
^'blanketing, flannels, fulled cloth, cassimere, satinet, gray-mixed,
indigo blue, or any other color, — country produce taken for work,
— agents at a distance to forward wool or cloth."

After the failure of the Mechanics Company, the " Gonic Com-
pany " was formed, but met with poor success, and in 1846 N. D.
Wetmore and J. D. Sturtevant bought a controlling interest in
the propert3^ The first year they cleared $20,000, and then sep-
arated, Wetmore selling out his share.

John D. Sturtevant, of German descent, was the fifth of the
eight children of Perez and Dorothy (Kimball) Sturtevant, and
was born at Center Harbor July 4, 1816. At the age of sixteen
he was apprenticed to a cloth dresser at Peacham, Vt. By at-
tending school winters he obtained a good common school edu-
cation by the time his apprenticeship was ended. For the next
ten years he was engaged in woolen manufacture in various places
from Vermont to Virginia. In 1840 he was appointed superin-
tendent of the Whitney Blanket Mills at Lowell, Mass. In 1842
he bought one of the mills and carried on the business for about
four years, w^hen he came to Rochester. By honesty, industry,
and prompt business habits he acquired a large fortune. He mar-
ried October 16, 1841, Adeline, daughter of Joshua and Dorcas

(Jones) Bradley, and died at Boston, Mass., July 5, 1889. They
had three children: — Edwin A., who died at the age of twenty;
Frances A., wife of Amasa Clarke of Boston, and Ellen B., wife
of Edward Steese of the same place.

The "Norway Plains Company," in which Mr. Sturtevant was
the leading spirit, was chartered in 1846. They had a paid-up
capital of $60,000, and eight sets of machinery in a group of
wooden buildings, running upon blankets. Exposed at that early
period to little competition, they were steadily successful. At the
World's Fair in New York in 1853, their blankets took the pre-
mium over all competitors. They gradually rebuilt and enlarged
their plant till, after the lapse of twenty years from the first start,
all the old wooden buildings, except the store-house, had been
replaced by brick ones ; a new mill had been erected upon the
upper dam ; the machinery had been increased from eight to thirty
sets, and the paid-up capital from $60,000 to $250,000. The stim-
ulus imparted to the blanket manufacture by the peremptory
wants of the Government during the civil war, gave rise to a very
severe competition. From 1883 to the present time the business
has afforded a very inadequate return upon invested capital.

BANKS.

The growing activity of trade and manufactures soon demanded
banking facilities of its own for the thriving village of Norway
Planis "(p. 369).

* Rochester Bank was incorporated by an act of Legislature
approved July 5, 1834, and the first meeting of the stockholders
was held the 16th of August following, when by-laws were adopted,
and James Farrington, Nehemiah Eastman, Charles Dennett,
Moses Hale, John Greenfield, Simon Chase, and John A. Burleigh
were elected directors. September 29th John McDuffee, Jr., was
chosen cashier and held the office till the closing of the bank,
twenty years later. It was voted that the bank business hours
be from 9 to 12 a. m., and from 2 to 5 p. m., but in no case to
be after sunset. March 2, 1835, James Farrington was chosen
president, and the bank began business May 1, with $100,000
capital, and ninety stockholders, of whom John McDuffee and

Dominicus Hanson are the only survivors. February 20, 1850, it
was voted to increase the capital stock to $120,000. On the expi-
ration of the charter at the end of twenty years, it was voted to
close the bank and sell its real estate to the new bank then being
■organized. The last board of directors consisted of Simon Chase,
James Farrington, John Greeniield, Charles Dennett, James C.
Cole, Dominicus Hanson, and Jeremy Wingate. The presidents
from the beginning were James Farrington four years, John
Greeniield three years, and Simon Chase the last thirteen years.

The new Rochester Bank was incorporated by an act approved
June 30, 1853, and began business April 1, 1854, with a capital of
$80,000. The directors were John McDuifee, Jr., Charles Dennett,
James C. Cole, Dominicus Hanson, Stephen M. Mathes, Enoch
Whitehouse, and Watson Hayes. John McDuftee, Jr., was chosen
president, and Franklin McDuifee, cashier; both of whom retained
their offices through the existence of the bank.

It is interesting to listen to incidents in the history of the bank,
and the early methods of business as now related by the vener-
able president whose life has been identified with the banking
interests of this town for about sixty years, — a case almost without
parallel in the whole countr}'. The deposits for the first twenty
years averaged less than $5,000, while the town now carries a
business deposit in the banks of this village of about $125,000.
At that time about one draft a week was drawn, it being all
written out with the greatest formality and painstaking.

The first visit of the bank commissioner, then newly appointed,
will illustrate the ditference between the past and the present
methods of business. It was in the spring when the traveling
was very bad, not more than two or three sleighs passing through
the day. Mr. McDufiee was somewhat ill, and concluded he would
close the bank at noon for the day. Just as he was leaving, a
man met him, saying he was the Bank Commissioner, had come
from Exeter to examine the bank, that it wouldn't take long,
that he didn't know anything about banks and didn't expect to ;
that he had taken the office only for the pay he could get, and
the better he was paid the sooner he would get through. So
they went back to the bank, and Mr. McDuifee showed him his last
statement. The man read it over, saying, " Real estate — where
is that?" "This building," was the answer. "Specie — where is

480 ROCHESTER.

that?" "In those bao;s," "Notes — where are they?" "In that
drawer." The statement was then copied and sworn to, and the
examination was over. He then asked about the bank at Wolfe-
borough, wdiich was known to be in a precarious condition, and
wanted to know if they had money so as to pay him, for the
travehng was bad, and he didn't want to go up there, unless he
was likely to be paid for it.

This being the only bank between Dover and Canada received
a large share of business from drovers passing through this sec-
tion of the State. Counterfeiters were plenty, as their trade w^as
made easy by each bank having a dilFerent plate for its bills.
They, as well as forgers w^ho were not so rare customers as bank
officers might wish, could easily escape, as the present facilities
for detection and capture did not then exist.

One day a man brought several notes for discount, representing
himself to be one Nutter w^ho was reputed to be a man of pro-
perty. Mr. McDuftee asked him to return in an hour, as he must
first consult the directors. While they were considering the mat-
ter, he happened to observe that the notes, though dated one or
two years apart, were all cut from the same piece of paper. Just
as he made the discovery, the man came in. Placing the notes
together showing that they had been written on the same half
sheet of paper, he asked him to explain. The man seemed only
amused, saying that he had used the same kind of paper for years,
and it must have happened by a wonderful coincidence. It oc-
curred to Mr. McDuilee that ISTutter would be known at Dodge's
hotel. Asking the man to stop wdth the directors, he went over
to Dodge's. Just as he was stepping into the hotel, he looked
back and saw that the man had sauntered out of the bank, and
w^as standing on the steps. Not finding Mr. Dodge he came out
at once, and then saw the man jump over the fence and run.
John Greenfield started in pursuit with his little dog, but taking
to the nearest woods the man escaped. Mr. McDutfee watched
for him with a sheriff, near Hayes's crossing, half the night, but
without success. It afterwards appeared that the man, whose
name was Canney, went over into Maine, where he was soon
after sent to the state prison for life for robbery and murder.

Another time a man from Brownfield, Me., claiming to be a
drover, came in wanting to borrow $2,500 at once. He said that

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 481

Mr. Towle, who was known to be wealthy, was an uncle of his
and would sign the note. He was informed that he could have
the money if he would get the name of Amasa Copp of Wake-
field, or Levi Jones of Milton. A little before bank hours next
morning, Mr. McDuftee saw him coming up the street on a
sweating horse, as though he had been riding all night. Sus-
pecting that all was not right he secured the presence of the
sheriff. The man, whose name was Meade, brought his note with
the name of Levi Jones, which was at once seen to be a forgery.
Denying at first, he finally confessed, and was arrested and lodged
in jail. He belonged to a notorious gang of forgers and counter-
feiters, who had money enough to almost ensure the escape of any
one of their number who should be detected. John P. Hale, his
counsel, set up insanitj' as defence, got him admitted to bail which
proved to be worthless, and the man escaped to Canada.

This with other efibrts to bring similar culprits to justice soon
taught the bank officers that the only gain was the satisfaction
of seeing them lie in jail for a time, while they themselves were
out of pocket for the expense of putting them there.

The bank records contain the following account of an attempt
at burglary : —

" On Saturday morniug the 18th of November, A. D. 1843, this Bank was
entered by Burglars. They broke a square of glass on the south side of the
Bank window nearest the road, being the second square from the road in the
second row from the sill. They then bored through the shutter with a 1^ inch
bit untill they could get in their arm. They then unbarred the window and
came in. They then attempted to blow off the lock from the outer door of
the vault, with Powder. Two explosions were made; the first one is supposed
to have started one of the straps that holds the lock to the door, so that the
door yielded about three inches ; the second discharge is supposed to have
effected nothing. They then attempted by the help of the Iron window bars,
to pry open the doors but did not succeed. Both explosions were distinctly
heard by numerous families in the vicinity. One arose soon after the second
report and lighted a lamp. It was then 3 o'clock a. m. Nothing was taken
except two of the window bars which were carried back in the field and thrown
down, but found and returned on Monday. On Sunday morning at 8 o'clock,
the Cashier came in to see that all was right as usual, and made the discovery.
The building was filled with smoke and at first sight seemed as if it proceeded
from fire. It is supposed that there were at least three of the villains."

Two other unsuccessful attempts have been made, only forcing
one door, and once setting the bank on fire.

The old bank lock was made by Charles Dennett, and though
long superseded by modern improvements, is still kept as a me-
mento of early times.

482 ROCHESTER.

The last board of directors of this bank consisted of John Mc-
Dufiee, William K Kimball, Charles Greenfield, Dominicus Han-
son, Thomas C. Davis, E. J. Mathes, and Enoch Whitehouse.

When the state banks went out of existence in 1866, this bank
closed up its affairs, but the same business was continued by John
McDuftee & Co., private bankers, until the national bank was
established.

Rochester I!^ational Bank was organized under a national charter
January 27, 1874, with a capital of ^50,000, and the following
directors: — John McDuffee, Charles Greenfield, Thomas C. Davis,
Enoch Whitehouse, Joseph H. Worcester, iSTathaniel Burnham,
and Franklin McDuiiee. John McDuffee was chosen president,
and Franklin McDuffee cashier. John McDufl:ee has continued
in ofiice till the present time (p. 370). From first to last his hand
has been felt in the careful, conservative management of these
banks, as also the Norway Plains Savings Bank, which has made
their history a continuous success. On the death of Franklin
McDuffee in November, 1880, Henry M. Plumer from Salmon Falls
was chosen cashier, and has held the office to the present time.

The present directors are John McDuffee, Charles Greenfield,
Nathaniel Burnham, James Farrington, and Joseph H. Worcester.
The bank has a surplus of $10,000, and $3,000 undivided profits.

Norway Plains Savings Bank was incorporated July 2, 1851,
and began business August 5, with the following officers: —
Charles Dennett, president; John McDuffee, Jr., secretary and
treasurer ; Charles Dennett, J. D. Sturtevant, John Folsom, James
C. Cole, N. V. Whitehouse, T. C. Davis, and E. J. Mathes, trus-
tees. September 5, 1866, Franklin McDuffee was chosen secretary
and treasurer, and March 11, 1867, John McDuffee was chosen
president. December 1, 1880, Henry M. Plumer was chosen sec-
retary and treasurer in place of the late Franklin McDuffee. By
order of the Supreme Court March 25, 1878, the deposits were
scaled down one sixth, but April 5, 1881, the entire amount was
returned to all who had accounts there at the time of the reduction,
whether they had withdrawn their money or not. This result
fully justified the confidence which, even during the temporary
embarrassment, pervaded the greater part of the community that
the bank would come out all right in the end. The deposits at

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 48S

this time are over $600,000. The trustees are : — John McDufFee,
Charles Greentiekl, Dominicus Hanson, James Farrington, Na-
thaniel Barnham, I. W. Lougee, and James H. Edgerly.

ROCHESTER SAVINGS BANK.

BY HON. CHARLES S. WHITEHOUSE.

The establishment of savings banks in a town is a fair indica-
tion of the thrift and frugality of its people. Like the church
and the schoolhouse which indicate the moral and intellectual
standing of a town, these savings institutions emphasize the indus-
try, economy, and prudence which make the former possible, or
at least add greatly to their development. The good they do in a
community is incalculable. Habits of economy and industry are
stimulated and encouraged, and many a young man can date the
beginning of his success in life from his first deposit in a savings
bank.

Rochester has been singularly fortunate in its savings banks.
They have been managed with prudence and sagacity, together
with a commendable spirit of liberality towards the business men
of the place, until from small beginnings they have become an
important factor in the prosperity and growth of the town.

Rochester Savings Bank was incorporated by the State July 3,
1872. From various causes the first meeting of the corporators
was not held till August 27, 1874, when they organized by the
choice of trustees. The twenty-four corporators were as follows: —
E. G. Wallace, C. K. Sanborn*, Enoch C. Dow*, Albert W. Hayes,
William Rand, Francis Orr*, and John Hall, trustees; other
members, ISTathaniel Burnham, J. D. Evans*, Robert Mcllroy,
Larkin Harrington*, S. D. Wentworth, William Wentworth, J. H.
Worcester, James Farrington, James Walker, S. H. Feinemanu*,
Edwin Wallace, John D. Sturtevant*, John Legro*, James Hurd*,
Isaac Merrill*, E. J. Mathes, Isaac W. Springfield, and Elbridge
W. Fox. Subsequently, Ebenezer G. Wallace was chosen presi-
dent; Cyrus K. Sanborn, vice president; and Stephen D. Went-
worth, treasurer. The bank, located in the Cole building, began
business and received its first deposit November 2, 1874, Capt. A.
W. Hayes being the first depositor. Since then the bank has

grown steadily in the confidence of the community, until at the
present time, December, 1889, its deposits and accumulations
amount to over $400,000. It has paid its depositors semi-annual
dividends regularly from the beginning, never less than four, and
a part of the time five per cent yearly. E. G. Wallace resigned
the office of president in 1878, and was succeeded by C. K. San-
born, who served till 1882, when Mr. Wallace took the office
again for one year. John Legro next held the position till 1884,
then E. J. Mathes filled the place till 1888, when William Rand
was chosen and still holds the office. Stephen D. Wentworth has
been treasurer from the beginning, — a period of fifteen years.
Having all the details attending the loaning, collecting, and safety
of nearly half a million dollars belonging to about a thousand
depositors, he is fully alive to the responsibilities belonging to the
position which he so successfully fills. He is an earnest and
faithful oflScial, — energetic, painstaking, and sagacious.

The present oflficers are: — William Rand, president; J. Thorne
Dodge, vice-president; 8. D. Wentworth, treasurer; William Rand,
J. T. Dodge, Frank E. Wallace, Ezra Standley, Augustine S.
Parshley, Richardson J. Wallace, and S. D. Wentworth, trustees.

Shortly after commencing business the bank was moved into
the Hayes Block, where it remained till January, 1889, when it
took possession of its present tasty and convenient quarters.

A word of tribute to the sterling worth and faithful devotion
to the interests of the depositors on the part of the deceased
members of the corporation is not inappropriate. They were all
men who in their various callings of life were an honor to the
town. They knew the struggles of early manhood, and appreci-
ated the benefits growing out of a conscientious devotion to public
and private duties. They were men of prudence, rugged integrity,
and unblemished reputation among their neighbors and fellow
citizens. Whether as the devoted family physician, the able law-
yer, the honest merchant and manufacturer, the sterling farmer, or
the public official, they gained and merited and held to the last
day of their lives, the unqualified respect and confidence of their
townsmen, and left a remembrance of their public and private
worth rich in good deeds.

Some account has already been given of the Farmers and Me-
chanics Bank, afterwards the Gonic iSTATiONAL Bank (p. 362).

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 485

Rochester Loan and Banking Company was organized in 1886,
as a private partnership. A charter was granted b}'' the Legis-
lature of 1887 under which they reorganized June 1, 1888, with
the following officers: — President, Edwin Wallace; vice-president^
Sumner Wallace; cashier, John L. Copp; directors, Charles F.
Caverly, Charles B. Gafney, Frank Jones of Portsmouth, Isidor
Salinger, Edwin and Sumner Wallace, and Gurdon W. Wattles.
They have a paid-up capital of $100,000, and transact all kinds
of general banking business.

HOTELS.

Places for the public entertainment of travelers, in some form^
have always held an important position among the conveniences
of even a semi-civilization. They have been prominent in Roch-
ester from the earliest times.

The Stephen Wentworth Tavern which stood on Haven's hill,
" a short distance from the traveled road in the south-east corner of
a three-acre lot, with a small cellar and an ancient well to mark its
location," is said to have been the first tavern in Rochester. It
was "a one-story double house with a wing at each end, unpainted,
and exactly facing the sun at 12 m." This tavern was known
also as the " Wolfe Tavern," from the sign which bore a bust por-
trait of General Wolfe in full military dress. Under the portrait
were the words "GENERAL: WOLFE — . 1770." This was
the date of the sign. The tavern had doubtless been open for years
before. In the upper corners of the sign were the letters S. W.,
for the name of the proprietor. This old sign is now owned by
Dr. Farrington. Stephen Wentworth was akin to the famous Ports-
mouth family, and here old Governor John Wentworth frequently
stopped with his accomplished wife, and hence it was often called
the " Governor Wentworth Tavern." Here men were recruited
for the Revolution, and the scenes of interest here enacted would
fill a long chapter of valuable history now passed into oblivion.

John Cloutman kept tavern as early as 1768 on the farm now
owned by his grandson, Charles AVilland.

Moses Hurd had a tavern which was burned not far from 1790.
It probably stood where is now the " Moses Hurd house," at the
lower end of Main street.

486 ROCHESTER.

About the time of the Revolution, a small one-story house in
which Colonel McDuiFee had lived, was moved to where Hayes
Block now stands, and became a tavern first kept by Stephen
Berry. In the early part of the century it was kept by Major
Perkins, and afterwards by Levi Dearborn, known as " Squire
Dearborn." After his death it remained unoccupied for some
years, when Simon Chase added a story and made it his own
residence. It now stands on the rear of the same lot.

The large two-story house at the lower end of the village known
as the Roberts house, was formerly " Furber's Tavern," the old
sign of which is still preserved by Mrs. John R. Roberts, being
a small oval bearing the words, "M. Furber's Tavern. 1806."

"Barker's Tavern," where the Methodist church now stands,
was well known in the early part of the century, and was burned
in 1823 (p. 131).

The " Old Tavern House " at the corner of Market street and
Factory court was built in 1800, by Meshach Robinson, who is
also said to have built the first wagon run in Rochester. In 1845
this tavern was kept by William J. Roberts, and was discontinued
not long after.

" Odiorne's Tavern " was an old-fashioned two-story white house
where Dodge's Hotel now is. Capt. John Odiorne was a saddler
by trade, "a smart man," and a popular military officer. He
died in 1811, at the age of forty-eight years. His widow, Mrs.
Sarah (Hanson) Odiorne, was a woman of unusual shrewdness
and executive ability, and when left with a family of children to
provide for, showed herself abundantly able to do so, by keeping
the tavern with good success for about thirty years.

DODGE'S HOTEL.

BY MRS. DANIEL HALL OF DOVER.

A historical sketch of Rochester would be very incomplete with-
out a notice more or less extended of " Dodge's Hotel," and the
active, hard-working family who have lived there for the last half
century, and have made it so widely and favorably known.

The place was first occupied for a private residence by Peter
Cushing, who sold it to Mrs. Captain Odiorne, his wife's sister,
who kept a public house here for many years. The courts for
old Strafiord county, embracing the present counties of Strafford,

(=5,- ■

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 487

Belknap, and Carroll, were then held at Rochester, and " Odiorne's
Tavern " was the favorite resort of judges, lawyers, and suitors.

Jonathan T. Dodge was born at Ossipee in 1803. His father
was a native of Wenham, Mass., and in company with Judge
. Quarles kept a store at Ossipee Corner. Jonathan T. Dodge was
one of eight children. At the age of eighteen, his health failing,
he started for Massachusetts in hope of being benefited by the sea
air. On his way he stopped to rest at Odiorne's Tavern, where
he was taken sick, and was unable to proceed. Mrs. Odiorne
becoming interested in him, persuaded him to remain with her
after his recovery, as she was in need of help in the hotel. This
was in the year 1821. He lived there in her employ ten years,
for eight of which his pay was two shillings per day. He related
in subsequent years, that going to bed at eleven o'clock, he was
some nights called up as many as nine times to take care of
horses, of which they sometimes had seventy in a night. After
filling their own stables, they filled the neighbors' barns also. In
1831 he returned to Ossipee where his mother resided. Not
feeling able to carry on the business without help, Mrs. Odiorne
sold to her son-in-law, John B. Buzzel. In 1834 Mr. Dodsfe
bought the stand, and in company with his brother-in-law, Daniel
R. Carter, removed the old house and erected a new and larger
one. They continued together in the hotel business till Mr. Car-
ter's death in 1842. Meantime Mr. Dodge was married in De-
cember, 1840, to Miss Sarah Hanson of Great Falls. Five chil-
dren were born to them, four of whom are now living, one having
died in infancy. The house was set on fire August 21, 1851, by
one Ezekiel Tibbetts, an imbecile town pauper. All the hotel
buildings, the house on the adjoining lot, with other buildings
were consumed. The family were saved, but nearly all the fur-
niture was lost. Only a small insurance was realized.

Six months later, the house having been rebuilt, the family
moved into it. The new house was of brick, and is still standing,
having been enlarged about twenty years ago.

During his connection with the hotel Mr. Dodge entered largely
into staging, and other enterprises which were more or less suc-
cessful (p. 135). He was the proprietor of several stage lines,
which were, in those days, the only means of transportation. He
owned at one time ninety horses which were employed in this

488 ROCHESTER.

business. He carried the mail for nineteen years from Conway
to Dover and return, frequently driving the great teams himself
over the long route. The well-known " whips," Moses Canney,
Kirke Pitman, Sinclair, and John L. Hanson drove for Mr. Dodge
for raan}^ years. He continued his connection with this business
to a greater or less extent, till the old stage lines from the sea-
board to the mountains were superseded by railroads.

Mr. Dodge died January 8, 1871, leaving an honored name
among all who knew him, as a man of enterprise, of uncommon
business abilit}^ and thorough integrity of character.

For nearly nineteen years after Mr. Dodge's death, his widow,
with the assistance of her son, J. Thorne Dodge, carried on the
hotel, and under their charge it enjoyed unabated popularity, and
served the puhlic with the same satisfaction that Mr. Dodge gave
in his lifetime. In fact, " Dodge's Hotel " is one of the " insti-
tutions " of Rochester, and has contributed not a little to the credit
and prosperity of the town.

During Mr. Dodge's lifetime, and ever since, this house has been
famous for its cleanliness, its excellent beds and furniture, its
orderly arrangements of every kind, and above all for a table and
cuisine whose reputation has extended far and wide. Many trav-
eling people go out of their way and take extraordinary pains to
" make in " to this hotel.

Mrs. Dodge retained her vigor and activity up to advanced
years, and conducted the business with the same assiduity, care,,
personal oversight, and attention to the comfort of her guests as
characterized her earlier years. She was in failing health for
about a year before her death, though still able to be about and
attend to the house and her other affairs with much of the energy
of her prime. After a sickness of about two weeks duration, she
died November 1, 1889, upwards of eighty years of age, greatly
lamented by the people of the town, by hosts of friends all over
the country who had enjoyed her hospitality, and especially by
many poor people to whom her hand was ever open.

Since her decease the hotel has been kept under the proprietor-
ship of J. Thorne Dodge, and it would be ditRcult to find any
house in the State where better accommodations are furnished, or
which is more popular with the traveling public than " Dodge's

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 489

Hotel." It3 appoiutments have been modernized, keeping pace
with the progress of the times, and to this day it enjoys and well
deserves a most liberal public patronage and favor.

Lowell Kenney came from Salem, Mass., and opened " Kenney's
Tavern " in 1824. Charles Y. Meserve bought it in 1838, and at
a supper which he gave to his friends on the occasion, the Hon.
J. H. Woodman proposed the name " Langdon House," by which
it was afterwards known. His brother Stephen Meserve followed
him, and in 1843 Capt. Ephraim Richardson bought it, and con-
ducted the business on strictly temperance principles for seven-
teen years. He leased the place for three years, and then in 1863
sold it to Mr. Dodge. The Wallaces soon after bought it, and
the place is occupied by their business. The "Langdon House"
did a large business before the time of railroads, frequently put-
ting up from seventy-five to one hundred yoke of cattle, besides
twenty to thirty horses in a single night. It was for some years
" the head-quarters during the sessions of court, of the judges,
lawyers, and leading men." The regimental muster was held for
many years on the parade back of this hotel.

In 1867, Silas H. Wentworth bought the Woodman house (p. 132)
and opened a hotel which was named " Mansion House " by J. F.
Place. Mr. Wentworth was a generous man, and never allowed
any one to go away because he had no money. Under his man-
agement the " Mansion House " was a place of popular resort,
especially for political gatherings. After Mr. Wentworth died in
1881, his widow continued the business for two years, when she
leased it to B. L. E. Gowan for two years, since which it has fre-
quently changed hands. It is now owned by Mrs. Jennie L.
Goodwin, a daughter of Mr. Wentworth, and is rented by Na-
thaniel Ham.

The widow of Levi F. Roberts of Rochester built a hotel near
the railroad station, and opened it December 5, 1881. She named
it "Hotel Wrisley," from her husband's sister, Mrs. Wrisley.
After three years she sold it to Buelduc & Thurston, the latter of
whom sold out to his partner in 1889. This house is extensively
patronized by commercial travelers.

490 ROCHESTEK.

RAILROADS.

BY CHARLES W. BROWN

The contrast between the past and the present is nowhere more
marked than in methods of travel and transportation (p. 136). With
the advent of raih'oads into Rochester began the permanent growth
of the town, which has been steady and healthful from that day
to this.

The first regular trains run into this town were over the Great
Falls & Conway Railroad, commencing March 6, 1849. There
was a bitter rivalry between this road and the Cocheco which had
been chartered about the same time to run from Dover through
Rochester to Alton Bay. Out of this rivalry sprang the famous
"railroad riot" of February 21, 1849, the following account of
which is condensed from a Great Falls paper : —

"When the Boston & Maine Raih-oad built a branch to Great Falls, there
was a written agreement that it should not be extended further north under
certain specified penalties. This served to stifle for a time all railroad exten-
sion in this vicinity. The people of Dover learning that Great Falls had thus
secured to itself a terminus on the country route, began to agitate the sub-
ject of extending a railroad from Dover to Rochester and thence northward.
The capitalists of Great Falls saw that if this were permitted, they would be
entirely cut off from the country routes. Though appearing to be geographi-
cally in the line, they would really be as much out of the line of trade and
travel as if in the midst of the Atlantic. Therefore a proposition to establish
the Great Falls & Conway Railroad met with much favor. A charter was se-
cured, and when it became certain that Dover was about to make an iron grasp
upon Rochester, the building of the road was begun at once. The Dover cap-
italists who had made every arrangement for building the Cocheco Railroad,
considering this a kind of trickery, worked earnestly against the Great Falls
& Conway road, and made an unsuccessful attempt to contest the validity of
its charter. The Great Falls & Conway road had been surveyed and laid out by
its own engineers, and had taken bonds of the land where it crossed the Cocheco
road. The Cocheco company employed the Railroad Commissioners to lay out
their road, who paid no attention to the claims of the Great Falls & Conway,
dii'ecting the Cocheco company to pay the owners of the land a specified sum
for damages. The owners, however, refused to accept it, though tendered to
them in gold and silver coin. It was therefore deposited with the State Treas-
urer subject to their order. Subsequently the Great Falls & Conway company
paid the laud owners a sum which satisfied them for all damages. But the
Cocheco road, resting on the authority of the Railroad Commissioners, persisted
in its claim, so that the crossing became a special point of battle between the
two roads. The track of the Great Falls & Conway having been completed to
Rochester Village, preparations were made to commence running trains on
Thursday, the 22d of February. Anticipating a fracas, and to prevent tearing
up of the track, the Great Falls & Conway had placed a heavily loaded car on
the crossing, and trigged it at both ends with ties, besides running rails through
the wheels between the spokes. The track had also been doubly spiked, and
the whole work done in the most thorough manner. On the morning of the
21st a crowd of Rochester people had gathered upon or near the car, determined

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 491

that it should not be i-emoved, except to admit the passage of the Great Falls
& Conway' train. Daring the forenoon a number of persons from Dover, among
whom were some of the most influential and wealthy men of Strafford county,
appeared on the disputed territory and gave orders for the removal of the car
that they might finish up some work on the Cocheco road. The Rochester
people informed them that the car could not be moved, whereupon they made
several attempts to attach ox-chains and drag it off. In the squabble that en-
sued, several persons were slightly injured, one had a broken arm, and one came
near losing his life. A constable was called and the riot act read, and William
Hale, Jr., with others from Dover was arrested and required to recognize for par-
ticipating in a riot. The result of the melee was that the rioters dragged off the
car and pulled up the track."

The scene of this riot was near where the brick station of the
Boston & Maine Raih'oacl was built at Raih'oad-avenue crossing.
It stirred up a great deal of bad blood among the citizens of
Rochester, but more especially between Great Falls and Dover,
so that for a long time it was not safe for a man living in either
city to visit the other. The matter was finally settled by arbitra-
tion, the Great Falls & Conwav beina; oblio-ed to move their
track, while the Cocheco road was given the right of way over
the land which the Great Falls & Conway had purchased.

February 28, 1849, the Boston & Maine company contracted to
operate the Great Falls & Conway road " for one year from Jan-
uary 1, 1849, and until one part}' shall give to the other six months'
notice of its intention to terminate the same." Such notice was
given by the Great Falls & Conway June 1 of the same year,
and the contract was terminated January 1, 1850.

During the summer this road had built at Rochester two depots
for merchandise, one of which was of brick and accommodated
all the freight of this line till within a few vears : one ensine
house 43X50 which accommodated three engines, and stood near
Portland-street crossing, in front of the dwelling-house of Arthur
D. Richardson; and one passenger station, a small wooden build-
ing intended for temporary use, but which served the passengers
of this road for more than fifteen years. This was then replaced
by a neat wooden structure near where the union depot now stands,
which was sold in 1884 to the Portland & Rochester Railroad,
and moved to Saccarappa, where it is still used as a passenger
station.

The first station agent was a Mr. Quimb}-, who served but a
short time when he was succeeded by George W. Barker. Mr.
Barker resigned in 1852, and entered the employ of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, where he rose to the position of division super-

intenclent, and was considered a model official. The next agent
was Deacon Thomas Brown, who faithfully served the company
for twenty-three years and a half, until old age and increasing
duties compelled him to resign. The position was afterwards filled
by W. H. Tucker, C. H. Hayes, and ^. T. Kimball who, after
the consolidation of the Boston & Maine with the Eastern, had
charge of all the railroad interests of the village.

The Cocheco Railroad was chartered in 1847, ground first broken
in July, 1848, and was opened to Farmington in September, 1849.
The first agent was Jacob H. Ela, who was followed by Henry
M. Kelley and J. F. Hoyt. George F. Richardson was appointed
in 1864, and was an efficient agent till the consolidation of the
Boston & Maine with the Eastern, a period of more than twenty
years, when he resigned. The first passenger station of the Co-
checo road was a small wooden building near Wentworth street.
The freight house was also of wood on the north side of the same
street. A commodious brick passenger station was erected in
1868 near Railroad Avenue, which after the consolidation was
removed and fitted up where it now stands as a union depot. A
brick freight house was built about the same time just south of
Railroad Avenue. When the two roads united, a large wooden
freight house newly built by the Eastern, which had possession
of the Great Falls & Conwaj^ road, was moved to the south side
of the brick freight house, and from these two buildings all the
freicrht business is now done. In 1860 the name Cocheco was

changed to Dover & Winnipiseogee, and the road was leased in
1862 to the Boston & Maine.

About the close of the war, the question of new railroads began
to be agitated. The old York & Cumberland road, which had
been chartered to Great Falls through Saccarappa, Gorham, and
Alfred, was completed as far as the Saco river. Prominent busi-
ness men in Portland, Rochester, and the intervening towns were
very active in having this road re-chartered to Rochester, under
the name of Portland & Rochester Railroad Company. At the
annual town meeting, March 10, 1868, Rochester voted to take
forty thousand dollars' worth of stock in this road, and September
7, 1871, the selectmen were authorized and required forthwith to
hire that amount and pa}' it over to the treasurer of the Portland
& Rochester road, taking certificates of that amount of stock. The
first regular train over this road to Rochester was July 31, 1871.

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 493

One principal object in securing this road was to open a through
line from Portland to New York and the "West. The Worcester
& Nashua Railroad was specially interested in this matter, and the
question of a connecting link from Nashua to Rochester was soon
agitated. At a special town meeting, November 29, 1870, it was
voted to take fifteen thousand dollars' worth of stock in the Nashua
& Rochester road, " if running into the village of Norway Plains
within three years." This time was afterwards extended three
years more. The road was completed and regular trains running
November 24, 1874.

The Portland & Rochester stock did not prove a profitable in-
vestment. No dividends were ever declared, and under an amended
charter about 1880, the town was compelled to take eight shares
of the new stock in place of the four hundred originally owned.
On the Nashua & Rochester stock the town received two dividends
of six per cent each, and then sold the stock at ninety dollars a
share.

The business of these two roads in this village was done by a
joint agent. A. IT. Nason first held the position, and was suc-
ceeded in 1876 by Charles W. Brown who continued in that
capacity till the railroad interests of this village were united under
one management.

The first Portland & Rochester Railroad station was a small
wooden afi'air, with a waiting-room at one end and a freight-house
at the other till 1876, when the latter was finished ofi" for a ladies'
room. This was used bj' both roads till the Boston & Maine
obtained control of the Worcester & Nashua road. The Nashua
& Rochester built a brick engine-house to accommodate six loco-
motives, and a car house for six passenger cars. Their freight-
house was the wooden building with slate roof now used by the
Boston & Maine for a store-house.

At the time the question of the Portland & Rochester road was
agitated, another line was chartered, connecting with the Boston,
Concord & Montreal road at Concord. Much interest was excited,
and the town voted to take fifteen thousand dollars' worth of
stock when it should be completed. But this project has thus far
failed.

At first business was not systematized as at present, consequently
it is very diificult to get at the amount done when the Great Falls

494 ROCHESTER.

& Conway and the Cocheco commenced operations. At tliat time
but one man was required to do all the business for each road, and
the total station expenses for both roads was only sixty-five dollars
a month. ISTow it requires fourteen men with a monthly expense of
five hundred and thirty-two dollars. The monthly ticket business
now averages about four thousand dollars, and the freight seven
thousand. Over two hundred freight cars are handled daily at
the station. On the opening of the Great Falls & Conway road,
two passenger trains and one freight train each way were amply
sufiicient. The Cocheco road run two trains each way, one being
a mixed train. 'Now forty regular trains a day are required. This
gives some idea of the increase of the railroad business, and is also
indicative of the material growth and prosperity of the town.

The postoflSce at Rochester was established March 26, 1812, when
President Madison appointed William Barker the first postmaster.
He kept the ofiice at the Barker tavern, where the Methodist
meeting-house now stands. John B. Buzzell, appointed August
5, 1815, lived up stairs in the " Carter building," and kept the
postoiSce in his variety store below. David Barker, Jr., was
appointed October 15, 1818, and kept the ofiice in the Barker
store under his law otfice, near the site of McDuftee Block. Hum-
phrey Hanson was appointed July 8, 1823, and kept the ofiice in
the old brick drug-store, where Hanson's new block now stands.
August 4, 1826, John McDufiee was appointed and kept the otfice
in his store, where is now the north-east corner of McDufiee Block.
William S. Ricker was appointed August 14, 1829. He was a
painter by trade, and kept the ofiice at his residence in the Went-
worth house opposite the town hall. April 11, 1831, John H.
Smith, a young lawyer, son of John Smith the blacksmith, re-
ceived the appointment and removed the otfice to the Hanson
store. Lowell Kenney was appointed May 10, 1832, and kept the
otfice in the store connected with his tavern at the lower end of
the street. Dominicus Hanson, appointed September 16, 1835, re-
turned the ofiice to his store. He made great improvements in
methods, and introduced the first boxes. The change was much
appreciated by the citizens, and he held the position fourteen
years. Gilbert Horney was appointed June 15, 1849, and served
under Presidents Taylor and Fillmore. He was a native of Ports-

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. ' 495

moutli and had traded for a time at Farmington before coming
to Rochester. He kept the office in his store, where is now the
lower end of McDuffee Block, William Jackson, appointed April 23,
1853, brought the office back again to Hanson's drug store. Mcho-
las R. Varney, appointed April 13, 1861, removed the office to
the Lewis Hanson store, now occupied by Worcester & Greenfield.
J. Frank Place, editor of the " Courier," was appointed May 18,
1865, and fitted up a room expressly for the postoffice in Dodge's
brick building now occupied by M. L. Burr. Joseph H. Worces-
ter, appointed April 5, 1867, retained the office in the same place.
John G. Davis, appointed January 28, 1868, was a watch-maker
and jeweler and removed the office to his shop in the Lewis
Hanson store. George B. Roberts, appointed April 19, 1869, re-
moved the office to its present commodious quarters on Hanson
street. Osman B. Warren held the office a little more than seven
years from his appointment, March 25, 1878. In July, 1885,
Charles W. Howe, formerly a druggist, was appointed and retains
the office to the present time.

The revenue of this office for its first three months in 1812 was
$5.07. During the little more than four years since Mr. Howe
became postmaster the office has done a business of $240,000.
For the year 1889 its business was as follows : —

Postage stamps, stamped envelopes, and postal cards sold . . S5,149 73

Amount received for box rent . 845 80

Amount received from sale of money orders .... 17,161 19

Amount received from sale of postal notes 1,704 00

The amount paid out for money orders and postal notes was
about the same as that received. Twelve hundred and two letters
were registered during the year, and one hundred and seventy-
eight " special delivery " letters received. This office shows a
steady increase of business each year, and will no doubt become a
" second-class office " in the near future.

Gonic, as it is now called, has always been an important part
of Rochester. The following description of this village as it was in
1800, and the diagram on the next page, are from the remem-
brance of Jonathan H. Henderson, who lived all his life in Gonic.

No. 1, at the upper end of the village at the fork of the road
leading to Barrington, is the school-house where Mr. Henderson*
went to school in 1800, being then in his fifth year (p. 163). The
building made over into a dwelling is still standino;. In comins:
. from their home just below Gonic, on the road leading to Roch-
ester jSTeck, the Hendersons passed only four houses: — Nos. 2, 3,
4, and 5. N"o. 2 was the Jonathan Hurd house a few rods this
side of Lewis F. Home's, on the opposite side of the road. Many
years afterwards it was moved into the village and occupied by
Alexander H. Geer who still owns it. ISTo. 3, just below the res-
idence of the late N. V. Whitehouse (now occupied b}'^ his son),
is where Elijah Varney built a house about 1776. Some years
before he had bought the farm comprised in part of what is now
the Factory Company's mill yard and field, and put up a small
house afterwards used for a shoe-shop. He was a shoemaker and
tanner, and had his bark mill and tan-vats where is now the Fac-
tory wood-yard. He did a good business for some years, but
went to keeping tavern, till his business was neglected and finally
abandoned. This building was torn down about 1878 and the cellar
filled up. No. 4 was a house built by Nicholas Varney on a lot
given him by his father-in-law, Reuben Heard. It then stood
nearly opposite the Demeritt house, now William H. Felker's, but
was afterwards moved a short distance below, next to the Rufus
Clark house. His father, Thomas Varney, built a blacksmith's
shop at No. 11, where a dwelling house now stands, opposite the
brick store occupied by Yeaton & Co. His sons, Silas and Nich-
olas, both worked there. " They mended old traps, repaired gun-
locks, and cut nails from Spanish hoops, — made tongs, gridirons,
toasters, and such light work." Nicholas sold out and moved to
Ossipee. Silas afterwards had a shop at No. 10, nearly opposite where
the Bank now is. Henry Tebbetts bought the house and carried on
blacksmithing there for some years. His widow married Daniel
Newell, who was a famous drummer in his day, and the house is
still known as the " Newell house." It is now occupied as a factory
tenement house. No. 5 was the old Demeritt house, now occupied

* Jonathan H. Henderson was a man of much note here from 1820 to 1840. He was a
schoolmaster, — (a person of much consequence in those days,) — understood surveying, was
a militia Captain, in politics an intense Whiff, and in religion a pronounced Universalist at
a time when Universalism was very unpopular. His later life was somewhat clouded by the
drink habit, but he was altogether a man of mark in his time. He died December 20, 1878,
eged 83 years.

by William H. Felker, who married Samuel Demeritt's daughter
Deborah. It was then a one-story house owned by Reuben Hurd
who farmed and tended grist-mill. He was nicknamed " old By-
the-Lord," from the frequency with which he used the expression.
He went to Ossipee, and " 'Squire Dearborn, tavern-keeper from
the Plains," took the place. After him came Israel Whitehouse
father of the late IST. V. Whitehouse, Silas Varney, Ezekiel Hussey,
and Samuel Demeritt, before the present owner. No. 6 is the
Charles Place house now occupied by his widow. It was built by
Micajah Hussey before the present centur^^, but has been greatly
improved in the last thirty years. In 1800 Ephraim Hammett lived
there. He was a cobbler and also sold rum, " thus mending
the soles' of some customers and poisoning the souls of others."
After him came Stephen Whitehouse, Dearborn Jewett who after-
wards built the house occupied for many years by Aaron Clarke
(now owned by Col. C. S. Whitehouse), and Silas Yarney who died
there. ISTathaniel Hayes had a house at No. 7. His father owned
the farm where Benjamin F. Hayes and his mother now live, to-
gether with a large part of the Demeritt farm. Nathaniel might
have owned it all, but he went to trading on a few groceries, neg-
lected his farm, and the groceries too, and soon failing was obliged
to leave " between two days," in October, 1802. At No. 8 a house
was raised and boarded over as early as 1803-4, by Silas Varney.
It stood empty for some years without windows or doors, when
James Pickering bought it and fitted up a part of it so that he
moved in. He traded in a store at No. 9, where the hay-scales
formerly stood, now a part of the village square. He had to leave
the State on account of some transaction in connection with a law-
suit in which he was engaged, but came back in 1811. He was a
Lieutenant under Captain Page, and " at night on muster days
would march the Gonic and Neck boys down to the old store,
where he treated them to what he called wine drawn from a hogs-
head, and drunk from a pint mug and a tin measure." Somewhere
about 1825-28 the old store was torn down by a party of citizens in
disguise, who had become disgusted and indignant at the perform-
ances carried on there. Capt. Phineas Varney bought the house at
No. 8, fitted it up, and lived there till about 1814, when he went
to sea in the war and never returned. His widow exchanged the
place with William Currier for a dwelling and store at North

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. . 499

Berwick. At Xo. 15 was a small house where Moses Varney,
brother of Elijah, lived. He cobbled shoes, and tended the lower
grist-mill. Anthony Pickering lived there in 1811-12. Afterwards
Paul Ricker lived there for several years. It is now a tenement
house of the Gonic company. At ISTo. 13, in rear of where the
Bank now is, was a one-story house with only two rooms, owned
b}' one Catlin or Cartland. Thomas Varney bought it, and moved
it to the knoll in the McDufFee field near the lower saw-mill.
He was lame, one leg being shorter than the other, and was a
carpenter, a tailor, and tended grist-mill. After he moved to Alton
about 1806, the widow of Samuel Knowles lived here, then Henry
Bickford, Jonathan Morrison, and lastly Daniel Hayes, whose wife
tended the grist-mill till he sold out and went to Vermont. About
1850-55 the house was burned. Some time before 1804, Edmund
Varney, son of Moses and brother of Joel, erected a small building
at Xo. 14, on the spot where the spruce trees now are, in the
"Whitehouse garden, next to the residence of S. C. Meader, " but
afterwards moved it across the path that went to the mill on to the
corner above the Evans lot, between the mill-path and the road
to the bridge." This last spot was just to the left of the foot-path
in the Whitehouse garden. He fitted it up for a store, and put in
a hogshead of rum and a few groceries. He had an Ensign's com-
mission under Captain Page. "He failed up and absconded, and
was not heard from for years." Benjamin Tuttle had a small
house at No. 12, a little in from the willows below the bridge.
" He used to go a fishing to the Shoals in warm weather. After
he grew old, he went to live with his son." About 1811 William
Smith bought the place, and lived there till 1814, when he went
privateering and never returned. Job S. Hodgdon married the
widow and lived there till they moved "down East." The old
house was torn down about 1860 when 'N. V. Whitehouse began
enlarging the factory. No. 16 is the old yellow house which stood
in the Whitehouse garden, directly in front of George W. Osborne's
store, facing towards the bridge, and was moved by N. V. White-
house about 1860 to the lot between Nos. 4 and 11. It is now a
factory tenement house. It was originally of one story but was
afterwards enlarged and another story added. Thomas Varney
built it on land given by the saw-mill proprietors that he might
build a blacksmith's shop and do their iron-work. His son

500 ROCHESTER.

Nicholas took the shop after his death, Benjamin Evans bought the
house, kept a small grocery, and did job work till he died, about
1811. John P. Evans took off the roof, moved the building to
the upper part of the lot, put on another story and an addition,
and painted it yellow. He afterwards went to Macon, Georgia,
and one of his descendants became a prominent oificer in the
Confederate Army of the Rebellion. The old store which stood
near ISTo. 9, before mentioned, was built by Howard Henderson in
1792-93. He traded there several years, and was succeeded by his
son Jonathan about 1803. After him was Samuel Knowles, who
lived in the chambers and died there. Then came James Pick-
ering in 1811, and then Timothy Hurd, who enlisted and went
to the Canadian frontier in 1813.

A general " country store " was built by one Spaulding, probably
as early as 1820-25, and is now occupied as a store and dwelling-
house. Downing Varney, who came to Gonic from Merrill's Cor-
ner, Farmington, in 1838, and is still living in the village, occupied
it for some years, and after him W. H. Y. Burnham had it till about
1853, when Enoch W. Gray took it. Since Gray's death, in 1874,
the store has been managed by his widow, Mrs. Maria Gray. The
building is now owned by Meshach T. Drew. In 1873 ISTahum
Yeaton, now Yeaton & Co., came from Rollinsford and went into
the brick business, and in a few years took the Whitehouse brick
store. Since then he has become a prosperous business man and an
influential citizen. He married Helen Sawyer, daughter of Hon.
Thomas E. Sawyer of Dover.

M. A. Hanson, a native of Madbury, after having been in busi-
ness for a time in Maine, came to Gonic in 1881, and started a
shoe manufactory on the Barrington road. He employed about
fifty hands with a pay-roll of about $1,000 per month, and an
annual production of twelve hundred cases, valued at $50,000.
In October, 1888, he sold to K B. Thayer & Co., and removed
to Charlottesville, Va., the following April. Thayer remained
only a short time and went to Milton.

Brick-making was one of the earliest as well as most important
industries of Rochester. There are signs of brickyards long since
disused scattered all over the town, indicating that the early set-
tlers opened a yard wherever a clay-bank cropped out, to supply

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 501

the wants of the immediate neighborhood. Naturally the clay-beds
at Squamanagonic (p. 14), were very early utilized for this purpose
— how early it is impossible to say. Two yards have certainly
been continuously operated for more than a hundred years: — the
one near Walker's bridge, and the other near the bridge in Gonic.
Seventy-five years ago the former was known as the " Hoyt yard,"
from the man who worked it ; and the other as the " Gonic brick-
yard.'' A man by the name of Hurd carried it on about that
time, and among the (ild-time brick-makers at this yard were also
Anthony Pickering, Aaron Clarke, and Israel Varney. Fifty years
ago iST. V. Whitehouse operated it for a number of years. Since
then it has been carried on by various parties, changing almost
every year. E. D. & H. H. Elliott, brothers, took the " Hoyt yard "
in 1880, and are still doinc; a laro-e business. Ritchie & Osborne
have two brickyards with an annual product of several millions.
In 1873 Xahum Yeaton started a new brickyard near the Boston
& Maine Railroad depot, and has been verj' successful. Anderson
& Cochrane have three yards producing annually some ten million
brick. The Richardson vard near the Nashua railroad also does
a large business. The annual brick product of Rochester is more
than thirty millions, which is claimed to be " more than in any
other town in New Hampshire, and with one exception, perhaps,
than in any other town in New England."

Mills were early established at Gonic, but there seems to be no
data from which to determine when the first mill was built. Mr.
Henderson, mentioned above, remembered hearing of a great
freshet which carried away the upper saw-mill in 1785. It was
soon rebuilt, to be again swept away in 1805. The grist-mill at
the upper fall was rebuilt early in the century by Ebenezer Teb-
betts and Samuel Downino;, and ao;ain in 1825 bv Tebbetts and
Richmond Henderson, who put in a carding machine. Elijah
Roberts was the master builder, and Levi Leighton of Farmington
built the saw-mill. He put in the first wheel to run the carriage
back that was ever known in this vicinity. " Before that they
used to tread back with the feet." Mr. Henderson also remem-
bered his father's sawing in " an old rickety mill," when he could
lie down and take a nap while the saw was cutting a run.

Some facts in regard to the woolen manufacture at Gonic have
already been given (p. 359).

502 ROCHESTER.

THE GONIC MANUFACTURING COMPANY.

BY HON. CHARLES S. WHITEHOUSE.

AmoDg the many industries that give character to the town of
Rochester and contribute to its material prosperity and influence,
woolen manufacture stands pre-eminent. From small beginnings
it has grown and expanded to proportions large and beneficent.
Woolen factories as they exist at the present time, especially like
the mills in Rochester, are seldom large concerns at the start.
They are oftener the product of some modest enterprise, and grow
from small beginnings, expanding and widening their power and
influences as their projectors gain in experience; and when man-
aged with skill, tact, and perseverance become a source of profit
to the owners and great benefit to the community.

The natural water powers of Norway Plains, East Rochester,
and Gonic have been greatly developed in the last thirty years.
To-day the three corporations in town give direct employment to
a thousand operatives, disburse more than a quarter of a million
dollars every year for labor alone, use nearly three and a half
million pounds of wool, and produce a variety of goods valued
not less than two million dollars annually. The indirect benefit
to this community derived from such an industry' is beyond esti-
mate. The employment of so many people and the monthly dis-
bursement of 80 much money naturally draws within the circle of
its influence many other industries of great good to the public.
It gives employment to hundreds in other vocations, makes a
home market for the products of the farm and shop, stimulates
other industries, increases the population, and in its train brings
improved schools, more churches, greater intelligence, higher civ-
ilization, and consequently enlarged facilities for enjoyment and
happiness. Their permanency, when once established, is another
important consideration in estimating their public value. Unlike
many other industries, when once put in operation they must be
kept going. They cannot start up and run when business is good,
and shut down when depressed to wait for improved times. Once
started they must be kept going, or bankruptcy to the immediate
owners is the result. The large and expensive buildings and
motive power required, the great variety of costl}^ machinery

used, the innumerable details which a iirst-class establishment
demands, and more than all else the skilled labor which is neces-
sary in the diiierent departments and which requires many years
to collect and educate, — all this and these contribute to a woolen
mill's stability and permanence. Hence large capital is necessary
to carry a concern along through dull times, shrewd business
capacity and coi'istant familiarity with the daily fluctuation in prices
in order to purchase raw materials to advantage, good judgment
in forecasting the wants of the market, and above and over all
a constant, unwearied vigilance and oversight in all the complicated
details of manufacturing is absolutely essential to success. What
a debt of obligation does the town owe to the pioneers in this
industry, as well as to their successors who have continued this
source of prosperity to its people ! Such men as Nicholas V.
"Whitehouse, John D. Sturtevant, ISTathaniel D. Wetmore, Isaac
"W". Springlield, John Hall, and the firm of Parker, Wilder & Co.
of Boston, and men like these, are more than successful business
men, they are public benefactors.

The Gonic Manufacturing Company (an illustration of the prin-
cipal buildings of which is shown) was the second in town to
develop into a woolen factory, the Norway Plains Company being
the first. As a producer of woolen goods for the general market
it dates back to 1838. Prior to that time, and in fact up to 1848,
the water power was used largely for a saw-mill, grist-mill, and
some other industries required by the wants of the immediate
neighborhood. From 1840 to 1848 two sets of machinery were
run, making satinets and bockings, but mainly woolen flannels.
In 1848 the whole concern was swept away by fire. In the
year following, however, a new mill was built and equipped
with four sets of machinery to make woolen flannels exclusively.
From this date to 1859 it was owned and managed by the late
N. V. Whitehouse, but that year an act of incorporation was ob-
tained, with a capital of $50,000, the Whitehouse family and the
firm of Parker, Wilder & Co. being its stockholders. N. V.
Whitehouse was its first president, and Samuel B. Rindge and
Marshall P. Wilder, with himself, were the directors. Mr. White-
house was its agent and so continued till 1877, when the whole
interest of the concern merged into the possession of Parker,
Wilder & Co., its present owners. From 1848 to 1859 there were

504 ROCHESTEK.

many improvements made, and many additions to the buildings and
machinery. A great variety of goods were produced, principally
flannels. The mill built in 1849, and still standing, was quite a pre-
tentious affair for those days. The bricks were made in the present
mill yard, and the lumber cut in Stratford and the immediate vicin-
ity. It is fifty-one feet wide, eighty-one long, and three stories high,
besides basement stor}^ and spacious attic. The wool-scouring and
finishing was done in the basement, the weaving in the first story,
spinning in the second, picking and carding in the third, while the
attic was used for storage of wool. Such were its uses when first
started up. Since then its uses have been radically changed by
reason of building the large mill, and a consequent re-arrangement
of the machinery. In the years 1863-65 very extensive improve-
ments were projected, such as excavating a canal race-way below
the falls, by which the fall of water was increased about three feet,
two granite wheel-pits constructed, and the foundation laid for
the large mill on the river bank. This foundation is very sub-
stantial, commencing nine feet below the surface of the ground,
six feet wide at the bottom, and three feet at the top, built of
solid granite blocks laid in cement. On the foundation is the
granite underpinning on which is the brick-work. The main
building is fifty-four feet wide, one hundred and twenty long, and
four stories high, each story eleven feet six inches high, the whole
connected with the old or 1849 mill by a wing thirty-four by
sixty-four feet. An octagon stair-tower fourteen feet in diameter
gives access to the several stories in the large mill. The brick
walls are built with pilasters between the windows, and are of
unusual thickness in order to give solidity and strength, the first
and second stories being twenty inches thick, the third sixteen,
and the fourth twelve. The roof is flat, covered with tar and
gravel. It is admirably lighted, having no less than forty-eight
windows in each story with twenty-four lights of 10X14 glass to
each window, and there being no contiguous buildings or trees,
it is " light as out doors." It is safe to say it is as fair a specimen
of a woolen mill of its size as exists anywhere, — solid, substantial,
light, and convenient. At the end of the wing where it connects
with the old mill is the substantial wheel-house, in which are two
powerful turbine wheels, thirty-six inches in diameter, under nine-
teen feet " head and fall," capable of furnishing about one hundred

and fifty horse power, sufficient for driving all the machinery. A
large steam engine, however, of 175 horse power is provided for
times of low water, or in case of any derangement of the water
wheels. Within the past ten years, under the present ownership,
many important alterations, improvements, and additions have been
made, resulting in increased production, better processes of man-
ufacture, and consequently a higher standard of excellence in the
goods. As at present arranged, the wool-sorting, the scouring and
drying of both wool and cloth, the burling, brushing, pressing,
and packing, besides the running of lorty-four broad looms, is done
in the old mill. The picking of the scoured w^ool is done in the
upper story of the wing, by a large Sargent burring machine, and
ordinary wool-picker. The card-room is in the third story of the
large mill and contains twelve sets of Davis & Furber machines,
three cards to a set, and averages from 1,500 to 1,600 pounds of
roving a day. The spinning is done in the second and fourth
stories in both large mill and wing, on nineteen self-operating
mule? and jacks with 4,880 spindles, turning off an average of
1,450 pounds of fine 3^arn a day. The spooling and dressing of
warps is done on the first and second floor of the wing. The
weaving, besides the forty-four looms in the old mill, is by forty-
eight looms on the first floor of the large mill, a large part being
of the Knowles pattern with drop-box at each end of the lay, and
from two to twenty-four harnesses to each. The brick boiler-house,
46X56 feet, was built in 1883, and has two six-foot boilers fur-
nishing steam for heating the building and for all the various
processes of scouring and finishing the goods, and having sufficient
capacity to run the engine when required. A dry-house 30X90
feet was built in 1886, and a wool and cloth scouring building
52X72 feet in 1889, both fully equipped with every facility for
doing first class work. A large storehouse, 45X105 feet, two
stories high, is used for the storage of stock and supplies. On the
opposite side of the river is the machine and repair shop and lum-
ber shed, while on the old Currier privilege, a short distance below,
is a mill for sawing lumber and making the cases for the goods.
A powerful steam pump, and another connected with the water
wheels, with stand-pipes, sprinklers, and an ample supply of hose,
afibrds the necessary protection against fire. Everything in and
about the mills is of the best, — every appliance to increase the

production or perfect the quality of the goods has been adopted,
and everything for the comfort, safety, and convenience of the
operatives is provided for.

The goods made are designed largely for women's wear and
comprise an endless variety of shades, colors, and mixes, and have
an excellent reputation in the markets of the country. The 3'early
production is over 900,000 yards, valued at nearly |400,000. The
consumption of raw wool is over 700,000 pounds a year, all of fine
grade. More than $20,000 worth of drugs and dyes are consumed
yearly. The number of names on the pay-roll will average about
one hundred and eighty, with $5,000 monthly wages. Payment
is made every two weeks. The six or eight different departments
are managed by as many diiferent overseers, Stephen C. Meader
being the resident agent. Besides the mills, the company have
thirty neat and attractive tenements for the use of the operatives
and a fine residence for its agent. The grounds about the mills
and the agent's house are nicely graded and all the surroundings
kept neat and clean. The owners give generously to all local
charities and public improvements and show a wise and liberal
interest in everything that conduces to the prosperity and welfare
of the village and its people.

The first officials of the company were JST. V. Whitehouse, Mar-
shall P. Wilder, and Samuel B. Rindge, directors; Ezra Farns-
worth being treasurer, and Charles S. Whitehouse, clerk. N. V.
Whitehouse was also agent, and continued a director till 1877.
Benjamin Phipps was made treasurer in November, 1868, and has
held the position ever since. Ezra Farnsworth succeeded N. V.
Whitehouse as a director, and in 1881 the venerable Marshall P.
Wilder retired and was succeeded by William H. Sherman. May 3,
1883, Samuel B. Rindge died, and Col. Francis J. Parker of Boston
succeeded him. The present ofiicials are therefore Ezra Farns-
worth, William H. Sherman, and Francis J. Parker, directors;
Benjamin Phipps, treasurer; and Stephen C. Meader, clerk and
agent.

For nearly fifty years the firm of Parker, Wilder & Co. has
been an important factor in the town's progress. Their capital
has helped make Gonic and East Rochester two thriving villages.
Their wise methods and discreet management have established a
great industry on a permanent basis. Their business integrity and

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 507

individual prominence have reflected credit on the town. Rochester
may well congratulate itself that such men are identified with its
business prosperity.

This sketch would be incomplete without special mention of
one whose whole life has been spent in the employ of the Gonic
company, and to whose conscientious faithfulness the present stand-
ing of the company is in no small degree indebted. Stephen
Chase Meader, the present agent, comes of a family who for four
generations have been prominent and worthy citizens of Rochester.

John 31eader, the ancestor of all American Headers, came from
England in 1650, and settled at Oyster river, between Portsmouth
and Dover, where he had a land grant, in 1656. One of his sons,
Nathaniel, who was killed by the Indians in 1704, had a son Daniel
among others, and seven at least of Daniel's sons settled in Roch-
ester about 1750-60. At first came Benjamin, Nathaniel, Elijah,
and Jonathan, and took up lands in that part of the town known
ever since as Meaderborough. A few years later they were fol-
lowed by Joseph, Lemuel, and Jedediah, who settled in the imme-
diate vicinity of the other brothers. Some of the other descend-
ants of jSTathaniel and his son Daniel about this time (1750-60)
went to iN'antucket and settled there. Benjamin, the son of Daniel
mentioned above, had a son Stephen, Avho was the grandfather of
the subject of this sketch. Stephen was born at Rochester in 1782,
and lived on the farm near Meaderborough Corner, which is still
in the possession of his son Benjamin. He married Sarah White-
house and had a large family of children : — Tobias, Hanson,
Jonathan, Levi, Asa, Mehitable, and Benjamin. He died March
20, 1858. He was a firm disciple of the Society of Friends or
Quakers, as nearly all the Mcaders have l^een, — a kind-hearted,
estimable man and neighbor, a worth}-, influential citizen, and a
true and stanch friend.

Levi, the fourth son of Stephen, was born in Rochester, February
4, 1813, and married Amanda Eastman of Peacham, Yt., in 1837.
Their children were Stephen C, Valentine E., Charles H., Sarah
F., George E., Julia E., John E., and Walter S. He was a genial-
hearted man, full of a slv humor which bubbled over in snite of
himself. He enjoyed a joke or witticism keenlj-, and was quick
with a rejoinder. Sturdily built, possessed of an iron constitution
and great physical strength, he liked nothing better than to lay

508 ROCHESTER.

aside for the time his Quaker coat and have a friendly wrestling
bout with whoever had the temerity to " tackle him," and seldom
came off second. He took great interest in town affairs, and was
an energetic and influential worker in politics. He was twice
elected to represent the town in the State Legislature. He died
September 25, 1885.

Stephen C, the subject of this sketch, was born in Eochester
December 14, 1840, and during boyhood lived on the farm with
his parents, attending the district school and laying the foundation
of a strong, healthy physique. When he was about fourteen years
old his father moved to Gonic village, in part to get better edu-
cational advantages for his large family. Here young Stephen, in
the intervals of the village schools, worked in the mill. In 1857
he entered the Friends' school in Providence, Rhode Island, where
he remained nearly four years. He was a diligent student, excell-
ing in mathematics and chemistry. He has always had a strong
love for the latter, and had he continued in this line would have
made a reputation as a practical chemist. In 1861 he completed
his school life at Providence, returned to Gonic and entered the
mill in the employ of the late IS". V. Whitehouse, working in
various parts of the mill, but principall}' in the finishing and dyeing
rooms. From this time forward his mastery of the details of
manufacturing was rapid. His methodical habits and quick insight
into the various processes, united to good judgment and faithful-
ness, hastened his promotion to dyer, finisher, superintendent, and
finally, to the position of agent, to which last place he was for-
mally appointed in June, 1881.

Like his father and his brother John, he has been twice elected
to represent the town in the State Legislature. The prominent
points of his character are quiet, unobtrusive ways, decision, firm-
ness, and a conscientious regard to duty; always seeking for the
best results and shaping the means at his command with excellent
judgment to obtain them; constantly alive to the requirements of
the position he holds, and of indefatigable industry and persever-
ance. While holding to the ancient faith of a long line of ances-
tors as a member of the Quaker fraternity, he is liberal to all
religious denominations, and a generous contributor to the support
of the village church. He is a judicious helper in all educational
and moral purposes for the good of the community in which he

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 509

lives. In the prime of a matured manhood, his future usefuhiess
to the town, his associates, and his family, can only be measured
by the years he may live. He married Effie Seave}^ of Rochester,
September 20, 1870, and has one child, Gertrude, born June 18,

1875.

The Union Hotel at Gonic was originally a small dwelling-
house with an addition used as a village store, built perhaps as
early as 1840. In 1854, and perhaps before, Enoch W. Gray
occupied it as a dwelling and store. He sold it to Downing Varney,
who some time prior to 1860 sold it to Moody Cavender. Cavender
used it as a boarding-house for factory operatives till 1861, when
he enlarged the buildings, and opened the " Union Hotel." After
three or four years he sold to his brother-in-law, John W. Varney,
who further enlarged and improved it, continuing it as a hotel
and boarding-house until his death, October 1, 1877. Varney was
a jovial, genial-hearted man, witty and bright, and made the house
very popular. After his death it had John E. Meader, Frank
Drew, and John W. Foss as landlords at different times. In
December, 1881, the Gonic Manufacturing Company bought the
property, and have since used it principally as a boarding-house,
still keeping it open as a hotel. Since they took the house. Phi-
lander Varney has been the landlord, and has a well-earned rep-
utation for hospitality.

A postoffice was established at Gonic, January 28, 1851, with
Charles S. Whitehouse as postmaster. His successors in office
have been as follows : — Downing Varney, appointed December
27, 1856 ; Henry W. Locke, August 2, 1861 ; E. F. Whitehouse,
March 13, 1862; Charles S. Whitehouse, October 2, 1865; Frank
H. Gray, July 29, 1885; and Charles M. Home, May 13, 1889.
The gross receipts of this office from March 5 to June 30, 1851,
were §36.75; from July 1 to September 30, 1889, S148.56. In
1889 there were received at this office the following pei'iodicals : —
21 dailies; 317 weeklies; 27 monthlies; and 100 transient.

EAST ROCHESTER.

A saw and grist mill was built here by the early settlers, and
owned in twenty-four shares of a day's work each. In 1825 Ste-
phen Shorey (p. 282) began running the mill. He had married a
Corson, and the Corsons and Shoreys together owned several
shares. The mill was a good deal run down, and many of the
owners valued it but little. Jeremiah H. Woodman bought up a
majority of the shares and compelled the rest to repair. He then
sold to the Great Falls Manufacturing Company, and they bought
out the other owners. About 1834 they let it to Abram Folsom,
who began the manufacture of chairs. Deacon Shorey, who had
built a new saw and grist mill in 1836, bought out Folsom's lease
in 1845, and continued the chair business for about twenty years,
making from three to four thousand chairs a year. In 1855 the
mill was burned, and by permission of the Great Falls Company,
Deacon Shorey rebuilt, owning the building himself. The new
mill was three stories high and one hundred and four feet long.
In 1862 it was changed into a cotton mill, of which Shorey owned
one half, but sold soon after. The business was carried on by
Oren W. Davis, Hatch Downs, and Charles W. Willey. When
cotton went up in war time, they sold what they had and began
on woolens, but not succeeding, sold out to the Cocheco Company
in 1868. Stephen Shorey built another saw-mill further down
the river in 1862, which he soon after sold to the same company.

John Hall and I. W. Springfield built a mill on the Maine side
of the river, about 1850, beginning with one set of machinery.
After a few years Mr. Hall left, and Mr. Springfield continued
the business, increasing the machinery to three sets, and was burnt
out in 1857.

When Stephen Shorey came here in 1825, the only house in
East Rochester was that of Elijah Tibbitts. At his death in 1879,
it had become a thriving village of six hundred inhabitants.

Stephen Shorey had a " country store " in his house as early
as 1843. In 1864 he built a store which he sold in 1867 to
Shackford Hart. He was followed in 1869 by Mr. Swett, who
sold after one year to James Walker, from Great Falls, who is
doing a large business. Stephen Shorey also opened a grocery
store in 1853, and was followed by Charles W. Brown who sold

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 511

to Herbert T. McCrillis in 1881. George L. Hayes opened a
grocery store as agent for F. Aj^er & Co. of Boston about 1877.
In 1887 Mr. Hayes built a store and has a flourishing business.
The old stand is occupied by Abbott & Webber. A drug store
was opened in 1877 by Stephen F. Shorey. In 1879 E. L. Faunce
began business in dry and fancy goods, which his widow contin-
ued till 1885, and then sold to A. L. Richards. Mrs. Annie S.
Smith from Farniington opened a millinery shop in 1888. H.
Kimball had a fruit and confectionery store which he sold to W.
W. Sinclair in 1887.

A. S. Towle set up the business of carriage and sleigh making
in 1880. In 1888 Jennings & Stevens from Epping came to East
Eochester and started a box-shop and general lumber business.
They use about a thousand feet a day for boxes.

In the fall of 1873 the citizens of East Rochester met at Eben
Varney's store, and decided to build a shoe-factory, with shares at
one hundred dollars each. Eben Varney, Stephen Shorey, and
Bryant Peavey took five shares each, and John W. Tibbetts three
shares. Other subscribers increased the number to fifty-six, fifty-
one of which were eventually paid in. The building was erected
the following spring, at a cost of $8,688.73. About a year later
Manny & All of Boston hired it with the understanding that they
should have it rent free for five years, provided they would stay
so long, and carry on a certain amount of business. But after
running about six months they failed, and the building lay idle
for nearly three years. In October, 1878, John D. Fogg of Spring-
vale, Me., and Henry J. Vinal of Boston, Mass., bought the concern
for $2,500, and began the manufacture of Alaska boots, employing
about fifty hands. The pay-roll was then about §2,000 a month,
and rose to $8,700 a month in 1888. The business of the first
year was $80,000 ; for 1888 it was $260,000. In 1883 the building
was enlarged one third, and $20,000 worth of new machinery put
in. In November, 1888, a business connection was made with
E. & A. Mudge of Boston. In the Fall of 1889 the factory was
closed, and the business removed to Springvale, Me.

John D. Fogg was born at Deerfield, March 1, 1842; married,
October 19, 1870, Phebe S. Veazie of Quincy, Mass. He was for
several years in the shoe business at Springvale, Me., before coming
to East Rochester. He has built eight houses in this village, which
owes much to his enterprise and energy.

THE COCHECO MILLS, EAST ROCHESTER, N. H.

BY EVERETT M. SINCLAIR, ESQ.

In 1862 John Hall caDie to this village, and after some talk
with Stephen Shorey it was settled that Shorey should build a
mill, and Hall would hire the building and put in woolen ma-
chinery. Mr. Shorey had long entertained a hope that a woolen
mill might be in successful operation here, and had tried to per-
suade I. W. Springfield to locate in this place instead of Wolfe-
borough. Shortly after the conversation with Mr. Hall he began
work on. the canal, and having erected the building now known
as No. 1 Mill, Mr. Hall hired the same for a term of ten years,
and i)laced therein four sets of woolen machinerv. In November,
1862, the machinery was put into the mill; the first wool was
carded in December; the first loom started January 1, 1863, and
in February the first finished goods were sent to market.

At this time Samuel B. Rindge, of the firm of Parker, Wilder
& Co., Boston, suggested to Mr. Hall the idea of forming a stock
company. After consultation with N. V. Whitehouse of Gonic,
it was decided to carry this suggestion into eflfect, and a com-
pany was formed, consisting of John Hall, N. V. Whitehouse,
S. B. Rindge, C. S. Whitehouse, E. F. Whitehouse, Larkin Har-
rington, and Jonathan Overand. On petition of the above-named
gentlemen, the Legislature granted an act of incorporation to carry
on the woolen business under the name of the Cocheco Woolen
Manufacturing Company. Their first meeting was held in the
little old counting room on July 30, 1863, to accept the act of
incorporation, which was passed June 24, and to adopt by-laws,
elect oflicers, etc. N. V. Whitehouse, John Hall, and S. B. Rindge
were chosen directors; Benjamin Phipps, of the firm of Parker,
Wilder & Co., treasurer; and Larkin Harrington, clerk. The
first annual meeting was held November 19, at which the officers
and stockholders were all present. The report showed that dur-
ing the year they had purchased of Stephen Shorey the mill and
all the stock and fixtures, together with much of the land whereon
the ])lant now rests. After the meeting adjourned they repaired
to the boarding-house kept by Mrs. Maria Parshley, and sat down
to their first annual dinner. Of those present that day, only three

BUSINESS OF ROCHESTER. 513

are now living, John Hall, C. S. Whitehouse, and Benjamin
Phipps, the latter of whom has been elected treasurer for twenty-
six consecutive years, and has been present at every annual meeting.
This can be said of no other officer or stockholder. Col. C. S.
Wliitehouse is the only one of the original seven who retains an
interest in the mills, Mr. Hall having sold out several years ago.

Jonathan Overand and E. F. Whitehouse were both removed
by death in the month of August, 1865. Mr. Overand was killed
by falling from an open door-way in the attic of the mill, a heavy
warp beam, which he was rolling to the door, falling with him.
He lived but two hours after being taken to his home, and his
was the first grave dug in the new cemetery at Rochester.

Mr, Whitehouse was drowned near the Isles of Shoals on the
28th day of the same month (p. 366). X. V. Whitehouse died
at his home in Gonic, ]S"ovember 21. 1878 (p. 364).

Samuel B. Rindge, the principal owner, died at his home in
Cambridge, Mass., May 3, 1883, of congestion of the brain. Mr.
Rindge was born in that city December 26, 1820, and when but
sixteen years of age entered the employ of Parker, Blanchard &
Wilder of Boston, and by close application to work, and faithful-
ness to the interests of his employers, he was admitted as partner
in the concern. At the time of his death he held many important
and responsible positions in the business world. He was a man
of sterling qualities and untiring industry. His judgment in busi-
ness aftairs was seldom at fault, and his advice was much sought
after by others. He was honest and faithful in the discharge of
every duty which lay before him, and true to every obligation
which he assumed. To all men he was ever kind and courteous,
and the humblest workman always found in him a friend. He
was truly a benefactor to the poor and unfortunate, and no more
sincere mourners at his death were found than among the oper-
atives in the Cocheco Mills. At the time of his death he had
accumulated a property estimated at one and one half millions.

Larkin Harrington died at his home in Lexinsrton, Mass., August
7, 1886. He was born at that place April 17, 1826. I^Tovember
22, 1864, he married Miss Elizabeth L. Cheslev of Rochester.
Mr. Harrinsfton came to East Rochester in the sinnnof of 1863,
and, as already stated, was elected clerk of the company. He took
a lively interest in educational, moral, and religious works. He
was the postmaster in this village during a part of 1870-71. In

514 ROCHESTER.

1865 he built the house where J. D. Fogg now resides. On ac-
count of poor health he resigned the position of clerk and pay-
master of the Cocheco Woolen Manufacturing Company in No-
vember, 1874, and at the annual meeting on the 19th of that
month, Sidney B. Hayes was elected to that position, which he
still holds. In 1864 the company built No. 2 Mill, of brick, and
put in four more sets of machinery, which were put in operation
in January, 1865. Prior to this time many of the tenement houses
had been built, but owing to an increase of their work it was
thoucrht best to build more, and offer inducements to overseers and
help to build houses of their own, as dwelling-houses in the village
were very scarce at that time. In 1868 they iitted up the saw-mill
and chair-factory which they bought of Stephen Shorey in 1863,
and added still another four sets of machinery. This is known
as No. 3 Mill, and the work carried on is carding, spinning, and
weaving, the finishing being done at No. 2 Mill. At the head
of the canal is also situated the box factory and planing-mill, where
are made the boxes, or cases, in which the goods are shipped.
Since No. 3 Mill was put into operation six more sets of ma-
chinery have been placed in Nos. 1 and 2 Mills, making eighteen
sets in all. One hundred and six broad looms are employed to
do the weaving. On the class of goods now manufactured about
nine thousand pounds of the finished product are turned oiF weekly.

John Hall held the position of agent from the organization of
the company until July, 1875, when he resigned, and C. S. White-
house was appointed in his place. During the time Mr. White-
house was agent many improvements were made about the grounds
and buildings. The row of fine maples on Front street was set
out under his direction, making the street one of the most beau-
tiful in the village. Mr. Hall went abroad, and was gone five
years. On his return May 5, 1880, he was again appointed agent,
Mr. Whitehouse having resigned some time previous. Mr. Hall
held the position this time but two years, resigning July 31, 1882,
and Charles E. Manson was appointed in his place, having served
two years as superintendent. Thomas H. Gotts was superinten-
dent under Mr. Manson until January 1, 1884, at which time
Everett M. Sinclair was elected to that position, which he still
holds.

In 1884 the company built the new brick counting room which
th ey now occupy, and in 1886 the large brick weaving shed was

erected. The roof is self-supported, so that the weave-room pre-
sents an uninterrupted view 168X72 feet.

There are six persons now employed by the company whose
names appeared on the first pay-roll, in January, 1863, and are
.as follows: — Francis Gotts, Richard Bocock, Charles A. Jones,
Lavina (Knipe) Smith, Clara Gotts, and Mary J. Rogers. Francis
Gotts and Charles A. Jones have never left the employ of the
company from that time to this, and the others have only been
out for a short time. The first pay-roll contained sixty-seven
names and amounted to $1,000 for a month. It now contains
two hundred and twenty-five names, and for the same length of
time amounts to $6,700.

The first overseers were as follow's : — Carding, Thomas Ingham ;
spinning, James G. Jones; weaving, Jonathan Overand; dyeing,
Charles F. Parker ; finishing, John Ash worth ; w^ool-sorting, Fran-
cis Gotts. At the present time they are as foUow^s : — Carding,
W. H. Adams and W. H. Loud ; spinning, J. R. Agnew and
Corydon Sleeper ; weaving, S. T. Sinclair and G. E. Manson ;
finishing, F. R. Bean ; dyeing, J. O'Donnell ; dressing, E. H.
Davis; sorting, Francis Gotts ; picking, Andrew McElroy; repairs,
Joy W. Barker.

On January 1, 1887, the Rindge Relief Fund was established.
This was the generous gift of Frederick H. Rindge, son of S. B.
Rindge, who, on the date above mentioned, placed in the hands
of trustees elected by the operatives, the sum of $5,000, wdth a
promise to add $1,000 annually, so long as the conditions mentioned
in a circular, w^ere adhered to. The conditions were that all opera-
tives in the employ of the company at that time, and who from
that time should live virtuous, temperate, and industrious lives,
and from any cause should be unable to earn the necessities of
life, should receive benefits from the fund. The trustees elected at
that time were F. W. Corson, S. T. Sinclair, and Thomas Ingham.

In the summer of 1887 the company fitted up the old counting
room for a readino; room and librarv, and ^ave the free use of
same, furnishing fuel for heating, so long as it should be used for
the purpose above mentioned. The counting room was built in
1866, shortly after ISo. 2 Mill was completed, and when the new
brick ofiice was built in 1884 the old one was hauled to Main street,
opposite the Glendon House, and contains as fine a reading room

516

ROCHESTER.

and library as is often found in larger places. It is supported by
the public.

The company have eight single and thirteen double tenements,
and two blocks containing eight and four tenements each.

The Glendon House was opened at East Eochester in July, 1878,
by John W. Tibbetts, the present proprietor. Ten years later he
enlarged, putting in steam and other modern improvements.

A postoiRce was established at East Rochester, June 2, 1863,
and Stephen F. Shorey appointed postmaster. His successors in
office have been as follows : — Moses S. Hurd, appointed April 13,
1865 ; S. S. Hart, July 8, 1867 ; Larkin Harrington, December 22,
1870 ; James Walker, May 16, 1871 ; A. H. Deland, September 1,
1885 ; Alphonso D. Gerrish, July 2, 1886 ; and Willis W. Sinclair,
March 19, 1888. The revenue of this office for the first year was
$84.99. In one quarter of 1889, there were sold $229 worth of
stamps ; 107 money orders were sent, amounting to $955 ; and 97
postal notes were issued.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

Besides the man}- large manufactories, five hotels, four railroads,
four banks, and three postoffices, accounts of which have already
been given, the following summary, though far from exact, will
serve to give a general impression of the business of Rochester
in 1890. Including the three villages, there are six dry goods

tailoring, clothing, and gentlemen's furnishings; five boot and
shoe stores; seventeen groceries; six meat markets; one fish
market ; three bakeries ; three restaurants ; three fruit and con-
fectionery stores; one candy manufactory ; two carpet stores; two
hardware stores; two tin shops; several variety stores; five drug
stores; three jewelers; three dealers in coal, wood, hay, etc.; two
ice dealers ; three laundries ; two photographers ; two harness
shops; one marble and monument shop; three express compa-
nies; and seven livery stables. These various establishments rep-
resent an annual business of not less than a million dollars.
Add to these the farming, banking, railroad, and various manu-
nfacturing interests, and the annual business of the whole town
cannot fall short of three or four millions.

CHAPTER XYI.

POLITICAL.

" The freeman casting with unpurchased hand
The vote that shakes the pillars of the land."

"The crowning fact,
The kingliest act
Of Freedom, is the freeman's vote."

We are told that our fathers came to found " a church without
a bishop, a state without a king," but evidently neither church
nor state can exist without some supreme authority from which
there is no appeal. Under God, whom they regarded as king of
kings both in church and in state, our fathers considered the
people themselves as supreme. They acknowledged no man or
body of men as their rulers. They permitted no authority to
come between themselves and God. The church was their model
for the state. As to thera the highest and only human authority
in the Church was the local congregation of believers, so the
highest and only authority in the State was the Town Meeting.
Not Presidents, Governors, Judges, Legislatures, nor Congress,
but the People in their local meetings possess the supreme power
in our land. The town meeting is the only pure Democracy.
It is the fountain head of all law and authority in the IsTation.
So while good citizens look with abhorrence on all attempts to
subvert justice in courts of law, or to change state or national
legislation by bribery or other corrupt methods, they are more
indignant to see the votes of the people in town meeting tam-
pered with by purchase, fraud, or intimidation. This is high treason
against the sovereignty of the people. As loyal subjects bare the
head in presence of their king, so all loyal citizens of our free
Republic should reverently recognize the majesty of the people
assembled to exercise their kingly rights in the town meeting.

The design of this chapter is to present the sovereign edicts of
the town of Rochester in the election of principal officers, and in

518 ROCHESTER.

votes upon subjects of special importance to Town, State, or Nation.
The political bias of tlie town from time to time is perhaps best
shown by a statement of the votes at each presidential election.
In 1788 New Hampshire was entitled to five electors. The people
were not yet divided into parties. There were no nominating cau-
cuses, and consequently little or no concert of action. The vote
of the State was so scattered that there was no choice, and the
electors were chosen by the Legislature. Rochester cast thirty
votes, all of which were for John Sullivan, General Bellows, Gen-
eral Stark, General Reed, and General Cilley. Sullivan and Bel-
lows were among those elected by the Legislature, and all the
electors voted for Washington and Adams. The small vote of
Rochester was not wholly owing to unanimity of feeling for Wash-
ington, but to the fact that there were no working political organ-
izations. In voting for governor this same year the town had
cast 378 votes. It was not until the sixth Presidential election
that the vote for electors nearly equalled the Governor vote in
this town. There was no political excitement before the elections,
and but little allusion to the subject in the newspapers. In 1792
New Hampshire had six electors. The Rochester vote was : —
Judge Thompson, 52 ; John McDuffee, 53 ; President Bartlett, 53 ;
General Bellows, 52; John T. Gilman, 45; Col. T. Badger, 28;
and General Cilley, 23. There was no choice and a second trial
took place November 12, when Rochester cast 22 votes each, for
President Bartlett, John T. Gilman, Benjamin Bellows, Jonathan
Freeman, John Pickering, and Ebenezer Thompson. Again there
was no choice, and the Legislature appointed the six just named,
all of whom voted for Washington and Adams. In 1796 the
"Republican" and "Federal" parties had become somewhat
organized although party lines were not strictly observed. The
Rochester vote stood as follows: — Ebenezer Thompson, Esq., 63;
General Bellows, 26; Governor Gilman, 26; Oliver Peabody, 14;
Timothy Farrar, Esq., 21; Joseph Badger, Jun., 16; Christopher
Tappan, Esq., 9; Bezaliel Woodward, Esq., 8 ; and John Godard,
Esq., 1. The last five of these were elected and voted for John
Adams and Oliver Ellsworth. For the Presidential election of
1800 no vote of this town is on record. In 1804 the electors
chosen for New Hampshire voted for Thomas Jefferson and George
Clinton, the Republican candidates, and the vote of Rochester was,

POLITICAL. 519

Republican, 104; Federal, 24. In 1808 the state vote was given
to the Federal candidate, Charles E. Pinckney, but Rochester
voted 189 Republican, and 61 Federal. In 1812 New Hampshire
chose eight electors who voted for De Witt Clinton, the Federal
■candidate. Rochester cast 218 Republican, and 77 Federal votes.
In 1816 the vote of the State was given to the Republican candi-
date, James Monroe. Rochester voted 205 Republican, and 56
Federal. The time of the ninth Presidential election, in 1820,
has been called the " era of good feeling," the whole electoral
vote being cast for James Monroe, except that of Governor Plumer
of New Hampshire, who voted for John Quincy Adams. He
explained his course by saying it was not from any dislike to
Monroe, but because he wished to prevent any other man than
"Washington ha\Hng the compliment of a unanimous vote. In
Rochester five candidates on the Republican ticket received 69
votes each ; William Plumer had 48 ; David Barker had 65 ; while
on the Federal ticket, Moses Hale had 20, William Hale 19, and
the rest one vote each. In 1824 John Quincy Adams received
the vote of New Hampshire, and the 73 votes of Rochester were
all cast for the Adams ticket. In 1828 the question was Adams
or Jackson, and there was more violent partisanship than ever
before. In Rochester the Adams party opened the " glorious
Fourth " with a salute of thirteen guns. Then a procession under
William G. Webster as marshal, escorted by the Artillery Com-
pany under Capt. William Ilurd, marched to the old meeting-
house on the common, which had been profusely decorated for
the occasion. Hon. Nathaniel Upham was president of the day.
The exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. Isaac Willey,
and were interspersed with select pieces of music. The "Decla-
ration" was read by John P. Hale. Hon. David Barker, Jr.,
delivered an oration, afterwards published, in which he reviewed
the issues of the day, and the past and present condition of polit-
ical parties. The celebration closed with a sumptuous dinner at
Lowell Kenney's hall, followed by toasts and speeches from almost
everybody in Rochester, Barrington, and Farmington. The Adams
party carried the State, and though Rochester had voted for the
Jackson party by twenty majority in March, the Presidential vote
was 227 for Adams and 225 for Jackson. In 1832 the parties
had become definitely organized as Whigs and Democrats. The

520 ROCHESTER.

State went for Jackson, and the Eochester vote was 239 Demo-
crat; 165 Whig. In 1836 there was very little interest, less than
half the voters taking part. Both State and town went Democratic,
the Rochester vote standing 175 for Van Buren, and 22 for Har-
rison. In 1840 came the exciting campaign of "log cabin and
hard cider " memories, resulting in the usual Democratic victory
in the State, but carrying the town 263 for Harrison against 229
for Van Buren. From this time the slavery question began to be
a prominent political issue. In 1844 the State went for Polk,
and the Rochester vote was Polk, 217; Clay, 215; and Birney, 39.
In 1848 the state vote was for Lewis Cass, Rochester voted
Democrat, 195; Whig, 147; Free Soil, 37; and Independent Dem-
ocrat, 9. In 1852 Franklin Pierce received the vote of the State,
and Rochester cast 269 votes for Pierce, 206 for Scott, and 64
for Hale. In 1856 the Democrats failed to carry the State for
the first time in twenty-five years, and from that time to the present
Kew Hampshire has voted for a Republican President. The
Rochester vote was 392 for Fremont, 309 for Buchanan, and 4
for Fillmore. Since then the Presidential votes in Rochester have
been as follows:— In 1860, Lincoln, 376; Douglas, 268; Breck-
inridge, 22; Bell, 2. In 1864, Lincoln, 404; McClellan, 343. In
1868, Grant, 479; Seymour, 318. In 1872, Grant, 456; Greeley,
340; Black, 20; O^Connor, 1. In 1876, Hayes, 669; Tilden, 556.
In 1880, Garfield, 806; Hancock, 583; Weaver, 34; Prohibition, 3.
In 1884, Blaine, 864 ; Cleveland, 615 ; St. John, 30 ; Butler, 18. In
1888, Harrison, 748 ; Cleveland, 783 ; Fisk, 29 ; Belva Lockwood, 2.
The following item from the "Rochester Courier" of October
5, 1888, is worthy of preservation in the political history of the
town : —

" Mr. George 15. Roberts, who furnishes the above list of names of 1840 vet-
erans, although himself active and interested in the campaign at that time,
lacked one month of being old enough to vote. Mr. Daniel Legro, also active
in that campaign, lacked sixteen days of being a voter, but both may well be
recorded with the veterans. Judge Edgerly and E. J. Mathes voted for Van
Buren in 1840, but both will vote for (Jeueral Harrison in 1888. There may
be others of the same kind. We doubt if any town in the State can furnish
more names of 1840 voters than the above."

The Consrressional elections occasioned little interest and no
excitement in the early history of the town. For ten years after
the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the highest vote for
Members of Cono-ress was 83, and the averag^e vote was much
less. As early as 1786, the Governor vote was 378 ; yet as late
as 1800, at an election to fill a vacancy, the highest candidate for
Member of Congress received only 13 votes. It was not till about
1812 that candidates for Congress began to receive the full vote of
their respective parties. Owing to the lack of organization there
was frequently no election of the full number of Representatives.
Eesignations were not unusual also, so that the people were often
called together for special elections to fill vacancies.

The general trend of political feeling in Rochester is seen in
the Presidential votes alread}^ given. It was only as the anti-slavery
conflict began to take form, gradually rousing the stolid and the
inditferent to earnestness and activity, that political interest largely
centered on the Congressional elections. In 1843 John P. Hale, a
son of Rochester, was one of the Representatives elected to Con-
gress by the Democrats. But when that party gave their support to
the annexation of Texas and the extension of slavery, he refused to
vote with them. Consequently at the next election in 1845, they
threw him overboard and nominated John Woodbury in his place.
Hale became the candidate of the Liberty party, but after three
trials the State was unable to elect any of the candidates, and the
seat remained vacant through the next Congress. In 1843, when
Mr. Hale was the regular Democratic candidate, he received 141
votes in Rochester, being eighteen less than the others on the same
ticket. At the regular election in March, 1845, the highest Whig
candidate received 175 votes, the highest Democratic candidate 211,
and Hale 177, mostly Democratic votes, which were divided be-

522 ROCHESTER.

tween Hale and Woodbur}'. Owing to the split in the Democratic
party there was no election for this district. Three special elec-
tions were held with the same result, the Rochester vote being as
follows: — Sept. 13, 1845, Ichabod Goodwin, Whig, had 98 votes,
John Woodbury, Democrat, 114, and John P. Hale, Independent
Democrat, 74; Nov. 29, ]845, Goodwin 147, Woodbury 114, Hale
86 ; :March 10, 1846, Goodwin 190, Woodbury 183, Hale 81.

Under the aggressions of the slave power the growing anti-slav-
ery sentiment was gradually crystallizing into the Republican party.
In 1848 a public indignation meeting was held in Rochester, at
which resolutions were passed denouncing the annexation of Texas
iind the Mexican war as unnecessary and unjust, and declaring that
Congress ought to grant no further supplies except for the safe with-
drawal of our troops. These resolutions were published and sent
to the iSTew Hampshire members of Congress.

Until 1847 all the members of Congress to which the State was
entitled were voted for on one general ticket. Since then each Rep-
resentative District elects its own member. In 1788 ISTew Hamp-
shire was entitled to three members of Congress; in 1792 the num-
ber was increased to four; in 1802, to five; in 1812, to six; in 1833
it was reduced to five; in 1843, to four: in 1853, to three; and in
1883, to two. Since the voting has been by Districts, the political

Until 1793 the chief magistrate of jN"ew Hampshire was styled
"President." The first state election occurred March 29, 1784,
and the record of the Rochester vote is in the following words : —

"It was unanimously voted that the Hon. Meshack Weave, Esq. is chosen
President of the State to the number of 209 votes."

Weare is said to have heen unanimously elected by the State. Xo
distinct separation into organized parties occurred till 1794, when
the votes were classed as Federal and Republican, the Republicans
being known as Democrats a few years later, and the Federals

POLITICAL. 527

One great cause of complaint against the royal government, and
which with other causes hastened the Revolution, was the unequal
representation throughout the Provinces. Some small and newly
incorporated townships were represented, while many of the older
and more populous places were refused representation. This im-
l)ortant privilege depended entirely upon the will of the royal
Governor, by whom writs were issued at his own pleasure. In
1758 the people of Rochester petitioned for representation, but
were refused. Four years later the privilege was granted, as shown
by the following record : —

" Pursuant to a presept from the high sheriff of the Province on March 9, 1762.
a town meeting was held at which Lieut, [afterwards Col.] John McDuffee was
chosen to represent the town in General Assembly to be convened at Portsmouth
on Wednesday the 10"' of March instant, and so from time to time during the
sessions of said house."

He was chosen not for a single year, but according to English
custom, to retain the office until the election of a new Assembly
might be ordered by the Governor, and was regular in his attend-
ance for several years.

The last Provincial Assembly convened at Portsmouth, February
23, 1775, but proving refractory, Governor Wentworth abandoned
the Province and retired to the Isles of Shoals. James Knowles
was the Representative from Rochester, To the first Provincial
Congress, which met at Exeter May 17, 1775, James Knowles and
Lieut. Jolm McDufFee were Delegates. James Knowles was also
Delegate to the second Provincial Congress which met December
21, 1775, and established the first indejyendait govenwient in the Colonies.
The Constitution adopted by them remained in force till 1784,
when the new State Constitution took its place.

In 1792 Rochester first chose two Representatives. In the same
year Portsmouth had three Representatives. Londonderry and
Rochester had two each, and no other town in the State had more
than one. After the incorporation of Milton in 1802 Rochester had
but one Representative for thirteen years. It then had two again
from 1816 to 1853. The number was then increased to three for
ten years. Then four Representatives were chosen from 1865
until 1872. In 1873 the number was increased to five. In 1874
town meeting was continued three days, there being no choice of
Representatives or Selectmen tlie first day. The second day one

Representative and one Selectman were elected, and it was then
voted to indefinitely postpone the election of the other four Rep-
resentatives. In March, 1878, live were elected to the Legislature
of that year, and in ]N"ovember of the same 3^ear, under the revised
Constitution, three w^ere chosen to serve two years. Since then
the number has been live, although six were elected in 1884, but
only live were allowed to take their seats.

The following is a complete list of the Rochester Representatives
to Assemblies and Legislatures from the settlement of the town
to the present time.

The first Provincial Convention met at Exeter July 21, 1774.
Its principal business was to clioose Delegates to the Continental
Congress at Philadelphia. The second Convention met at the
same place January 25, 1775, chose Delegates to Philadelphia and
issued an address to the people. Immediately after the battle of
Lexington another Convention was held at Exeter in April, 1775.
In June, 1778 a Convention was held at Concord to prepare a
State Constitution. This was rejected by the people, and another
Convention held its sessions in Concord from 1781 until October,
1783, when the new Constitution was adopted. In 1788 a Con-
vention was held at Exeter to consider the Constitution of the
United States. Conventions to revise the State Constitution have
been held at Concord in 1791, 1850, 1876, and 1889. The fol-
lowing have been the Rochester Delegates to the several Conven-
tions : —

Before the beginning of this century the annual town meetings
were almost invariably lield on the last Monday of March. In
1801 the town debated the question of petitioning the Legislature
to establish the first Monday as the day for the annual meetings,
and from 1801 to 1804 they were held on the second Monday.
Since 1804 they have always been held on the second Tuesday
of March in each year.

At the annual town meeting in March the Moderators have been
as follows : —

Prior to 1878 the selectmen bud charge of the check-list, with
full power to regulate the same according to their own judgment
under the law. Under the revised Constitution special supervisors

POLITICAL, 535

of the check-list are required to be appointed representing both par-
ties. These have been chosen as follows : —

Xoah A. Jenness, 187S. Henry F. Walker, 1884.

Overseers of the poor were first chosen in 1763, after which no
mention is made of such an office until 1788. The list is as fol-
lows : —

Isaac Libbey, 1763. Joseph Plumer, 1794, '95.

Between 1795 and 1833, and since 1841, the selectmen have
performed the duties of this office. As in other towns, the support
of the poor was formerly let out to the lowest bidder. A vote to
that effect is recorded in 1821, In 1826 the subject of a town
farm began to be agitated, and IsTathaniel Upham and Jonathan
Hussey were appointed to investigate the matter. Nothing how-
ever was accomplished until 1831, when it was voted, 103 to 29,
to buy a farm at a cost not exceeding $2,500, and $500 more for
stock, furniture, etc, and Thomas McDuffee, Moses Young, and
Moses Hale were appointed to make the purchase before May 17th
of the same year. In 1833 J. H. Woodman, D. Barker, Jr., and
J. H. Smith were appointed to draft by-laws for the regulation of
the inmates of the almshouse. Their report was adopted pre-
scribing for various specified misdemeanors, the penalties of solitary
confinement, or short allowance of food, according to the aggra-
vation of the offence. The overseer was authorized to build a
cell for confinement. In 1863 §1,000 was appropriated to enlarge
the almshouse. About this time the plan of supporting paupers
by counties instead of towns began to be agitated, and at the
March meeting in 1867 the several towns were asked to vote upon

536 ROCHESTER.

this question. The Rochester vote was 250 ao-ainst and only 14
in favor. JSTevertheless the plan prevailed, and in 1874 the select-
men were instructed to sell the town farm at puhlic auction within
thirty days, reserving the pest house and the burying ground.
Since that time residents needing temporary aid have been supphed
at their homes, but those needing permanent help have been taken
to the county farm.

The first constable chosen by the town was John Macfee in
1737, and it was " voted that he shall have five pounds for serving
when his year is out." The principal duty of this oflice was the
collection of taxes, and it was very difficult to get the oflice suit-
ably filled. A fine imposed lor refusal was frequently paid on the
spot by one who was so unfortunate as to be elected. All suitable
persons were expected to take their turn unless they could pro-
cure a substitute, or ofier some satisfactory excuse. In 1781 the
difiiculty appears to have reached a climax. Simon Torr was chosen
constable, but was excused from serving " this year." Samuel
Plumer was chosen, but was "voted out from serving." Elijah
Varney was chosen and paid his fine, but afterwards the town "for
a good reason" excused him, and refunded tiie fine. Sanmel Sea-
vey was chosen and then "voted out." Ithamar Seavey was chosen
but the vote was reconsidered, and finally, the selectmen were
authorized to hire a constable, which plan was usually adopted
thereafter. One great reason of the difficulty of filling the office
was undoubtedly the constantly changing value of the currency,
which rendered the adjustment of accounts exceedingh- difficult.
Constables were frequently behind in their payments, and the town
instructed their agents to prosecute them. In 1785 the town sued
Paul Harford, a delinquent collector, and attached twenty-three and
one half acres of land in the lower part of the village, also his
dwelling house, and his interest in the land on which it stood.
This was appraised at |75, and the land at !?8 an acre (p. 129).
About 1788 the collection of taxes was let out to the lowest bid-
der. This custom was continued for a few years, and again re-
vived in 1821, when it was struck off to Ezra M. Drown, at nine
mills on a dollar. For the next four years Paul Kimball bid it
ofl", receiving, in 1825, ^20. Sometimes the selectmen received
proposals for collecting taxes during the meeting, and laid them
before the town at its close. In 1834 Isaac Twombly was chosen

POLITICAL. 537

collector by ballot, to have §55 for collecting the whole tax, and
at the same rate for what he should collect. The practice of choos-
ing a collector in town meeting continued till 1845. They were
appointed b}' the selectmen from that time until 1884, when the
• town returned to the old method of choice at the annual meeting.
In 1885 the pay of the collector had increased to $300, and in
1887 it was $450.

In 1800 the warrant for towm meeting contained the following
article : —

" To see if the Town will propose or adopt some by-laws and appoint a Com-
mittee of Police to regulate some disorders that are likely to happen in said
town, particularly to prevent people from suffering their creatures from disturb-
ing and wasting the hay and property of travelers and teamsters at and near
Norway Plains."

Joseph Clark, Esq., Capt. Thomas Shannon, Jabez Dame, Capt.
Samuel Storer, and Col. John McDuffee were chosen to prepare
by-laws, and reported four articles. The first was to prevent horses,
cattle, swine, or sheep from going at large in the village, under
penalty of one dollar and fifty cents fine with costs. The second
was to compel every owner of a dwelling house to keep a good
and suflicient ladder on or adjacent to his house, under penalty
of not more than a dollar nor less than twenty-five cents and costs.
The third forbade two or more persons playing ball or quoits in
the village under penalty of fifty cents and costs; and the fourth
provided for obtaining the approval of these by-laws at the Court
of Common Pleas. A committee of police was appointed to execute
these by-laws, consisting of Capt. Samuel Storer, Joseph Clark,
Levi Dearborn, and Moses L. !N"eal.

As the population of the town increased the need of stricter
regulations began to be felt. At a special meeting. May 30, 1835,
the town instructed the selectmen to appoint police ofiicers with
power to make and enforce all regulations needed for the good
order of the village. The next day they appointed James Far-
rington, Charles Dennett, Ivory M. jSTute, John AIcDufiee, Jr.,
Jonathan H. Torr, Benjamin Barker, and Ebenezer C. Blackmar,
who immediately issued and posted through the town a sheet of
" police laws," forbidding almost every conceivable misdemeanor
under severe penalties of fine and imprisonment. Apparently the
town got more than they bargained for, as in the following March

538 ROCHESTER.

they voted " to dispense with all articles in the police laws." After
a few years, however, a permanent police force was found neces-
sary. March 13, 1849, $100 was appropriated "to fit up a room
or rooms at the Town Hall for a bridewell or lock-up," and Edward
Barnard was chosen keeper. March 12, 1851, it was

" Besolvcd, that the police officers be provided with suitable badges to be worn
on town-meeting days, and that they be paid by the town for their services in
keeping order."

December 19, 1868, it was voted to establish a police court, and
to pay the justice SlOO a year. S. D. Wentworth now holds the
office at a salary of |300. August 28, 1869, the selectmen were
instructed " to build a lock-up," and $1,000 was appropriated for
that purpose. This "lock-up" was built in the rear of the Town
Hall on Wentworth street, and is still in use. The first regularly
paid police were appointed in 1886. At the present time (1890)
the chief-of-police is N. L. Berry, with seven subordinates.

Rochester being a county town built a Court House in 1797
where Wallace's currying shop now is, near the railroad crossing.
The lower story was used bj^ the county courts till the division
of the county in 1840. The second story was the Town Hall.
The expense of building was met by selling the fourth division
school lot and a part of the meeting-house lot. This Town Hall
was first used March 26, 1798, prior to which the town meetings
had always been held in the meeting-house. In 1802 the town
voted to paint the Court House " near the color of Capt. Samuel
Storer's house," which had been recently built and painted cream
color, and was probably admired as the finest house in the village.
In 1825 the Court House was repaired by the town at an expense
of $200. In 1836 the town voted $100 for the same purpose, pro-
vided the citizens would raise a like amount by subscription.
After the county had ceased to use it, in 1844, it was voted to
repair it for a Town Hall. It w^as burned in the night, October
6, 1849, having been set on fire, it is supposed, out of revenge,
by some scamp who had been confined in the " lock-up " there.
For the next two years the annual town meetings were held in
the freight-house of the Great Falls & Conway Railroad. The
town voted $1,200 for a town house including a lot, and appointed
John McDufi:ee, Louis McDuftee, and Eben J. Mathes for building

POLITICAL. 539

committee. They found that a suitable buihling could not be put
up for less than that sura, besides the lot, and March 12, 1851, it
was voted to raise $250 to purchase the Silas Wentworth lot, pro-
vided the citizens would contribute the balance required. The
hall was built during that summer, and the first meeting was held
there in September, 1851. In 1852 an appropriation was asked
for seating it, but the article was dismissed, and tlie same question
was negatived every year till March, 1855, when $300 was appro-
priated for seating and lighting. The subject of a new Town
Hall was broached as early as 1872, and has been discussed, with
the appointment of various committees of inquiry, from time to
time ever since. At the March meeting in 1888 the selectmen
were authorized to hire a sum not exceeding $50,000 for buying
a lot and building a Town Hall, and a committee was appointed
to report in May. By the crafty management of the opponents
of the scheme, the location recommended by the committee was
rejected, and the whole enterprise was defeated, and the old hall
of 1851 is still in use.

An indication of the growing village interests is seen in pro-
visions for protection from fire. When the first fire engine was
bought cannot now be ascertained, but we find a vote March 9,
1813, not to pay any money for an engine. At the same time it
was voted to abate the taxes of James Waldron, James Witherell,
and David Barker, who had had buildings burnt. September, 1822,
it was voted to abate the taxes of David and William Barker " by
reason of their recent losses by fire." In June, 1836, "the Roch-
ester fire engine company was enlarged and incorporated." This
shows that it had been previously organized, probably for some
years. Firewards are first mentioned in 1838, when eleven were
appointed : — George Barker, Charles Dennett, John Greenfield,
A. S. Howard, iSToah Tebbets, James McDufiee, John McDuftee,
Jr., ]Sr. V. Whitehouse, J. H. Henderson, Paul Kimball, and Rich-
mond Henderson. At the annual meeting in March, 1845, $400
was appropriated, and a committee appointed to buy a fire engine,
provided the citizens would subscribe the same amount. A month
later the town adopted a recent act of the Legislature relating to
the appointment of fire engineers. S. M. Mathes was elected chief
engineer, and John McDufiee, N. D. Wetmore, Jabez Dame, Jr.,

540 KOCHESTER.

"Watson Hayes, and James Bodge assistants. March 12, 1850, 1400
was appropriated for a fire engine at Gonic, and §300 for making
reservoirs at the village. A month after the hurning of Dodge's
Hotel (p. 487), $500 was voted for a fire engine "to take the place
of the old one now in use of the Ancient and Honorable Engine
Company," also $500 for additional hose, and $150 for two reservoirs
at Gonic. In 1853 the town was asked to abate the poll-tax of fire-
men, but refused. In 1853, |50 was voted to build an engine house
at Gonic, and in 1855, $45 to boy a sled for each engine company,
and two years later $50 for a reservoir. March 9, 1858, the pay
of firemen was "increased" to $3 a year. Through the efforts of
Judge Kimball a subscription was raised to buy trumpets for the
several companies, except the Invincibles, a boys' company, which
had already received one. These were presented, at a parade of the
whole fire department, October 1, 1859, and the presentation speech
was made in the Academy yard, by Edward Sawyer. March 12,
1861, $400 was appropriated to buy an engine, on condition that
what more might be needed for the purpose should be raised by
subscription. Two years later, $500 was voted to buy hose to be
divided among the several companies, and in 1867 $1,000 was
appropriated " to lay iron pipe from force-pump of ISTorway Plains
Company to the Square." By several votes at various meetings
from 1861 to 1868, appropriations were made to build engine houses
for the several companies as follows: — $900 for Cocheco Company,
$900 for Torrent Company N"o. 2, $1,000 for Tiger Company, and
$1,500 for Torrent Company No. 5 at East Rochester. In 1870 it
was voted to pay firemen five dollars a year. In 1872, $3,000 was
voted for a hook and ladder and hose house. In 1877 it was voted
to reduce the fire companies to forty men each. In 1880, $300 was
voted for a fire-alarm bell. The next year $500 was voted to buy
an engine for the use of Tiger Company No. 5. There are now, in
1890, three engine companies of forty men each, one at each village ;
Pioneer Hose Company and Resolute Hook and Ladder Company,
with twenty men each ; Cocheco Hose Company and N^orw^ay Plains
Company, with ten men each. Fifty-three hydrants are maintained
at an annual cost of fifty dollars each. Firemen are now paid ten
dollars a year.

Village growth and the rapidly increasing population have made
the subject of water-supply a question of no small importance.

POLITICAL. 541

In 1877 the selectmen were instructed to survey for the introduc-
tion of water into the villao-e. The records show nothino- further
until 1880, when a committee was appointed " to consider the sub-
ject of supph'ing the village Avitli water," At the next March
meeting $100 was appropriated " to be used by the selectmen in
sinking an artesian well as an experiment for obtaining a supply
of water," but nothing came of it. The " Rochester Aqueduct and
T^^ater Company " was chartered in July, 1877, but did not begin
work until 1885, and the water was turned on December 1st of
the same year. The present officers of the company are Frank
Jones of Portsmouth, president; C. B. Gafney, vice-president; and
Albert Wallace, treasurer. In 1885 the town voted that the stock
of this compau}' be exempt from taxation for five years from March
1, 1886.

At the annual town meeting in 1890, it was voted : —

" That the Selectmen be instructed to liire on notes o£ the town from time
to time so much money as may be necessary for the purpose of supplying Roch-
ester village with an adequate supply of fresh water, agreeably to the provision
of Chap. 242 of the Laws of New Hampshire, enacted at the June session of
1881, not to exceed two hundred thousand dollars, and that Elias F. Smith,
Ezra Pray, James Farrington, John W. Tebbetts, and Albert W. Hayes be a
Committee to construct suitable water-works with full power to purchase the
present water-works if deemed advisable, take deeds and make contracts in the
name of tlie town, and for said purpose to do and perform all things neces-
sary, agreeably to the provision of said chapter; also that they shall extend
said water-works to or construct separate water-works for the villages of East
Rochester and Gonic as soon as they can obtain the necessary legislation."

The beginnings of things as shown by the first appointments to
various offices form a valuable record from which can be seen the
gradual growth of the town by its increasing wants, or a more
developed sense of those wants.

The first tithing-man was John Allen, chosen in 1737 (p. 141).

The first pound-keeper was Berjamin Fors, in 1737, the town
voting to build a pomid near his house. In 1786 a pound was
built near the meeting-house on Haven's Hill, and as late as 1841
. a new one was built not far from the meeting-house on the com-
mon (p. 141). The first field-drivers were Ebenezer Brewster,
William Jenness, and Joseph Tebbets, in 1789. The first "hog-
reeve" was Thomas Drew in 1747. From 1807 to 1826 one of
the most frequent subjects of debate at town meetings was the
question of " excusing swine from wearing a yoke," " such as

542 ROCHESTER.

go peaceably on tlie common." Special meetings were held to
consider this subject, which seems to have occasioned no little
excitement. Until 1823, however, the excuse was always
granted. In that year it was voted " not to excuse the inhabitants
from yoking their swine," thus reversing the former practice,
besides improving the phraseology. For a few years longer the
subject continued to be discussed, but the town could never again
be brought to consent that swine should run at large.

The first surveyors of highways were John Lay ton, Solomon
Clarke, and Eleazer Ham, chosen in 1737.

The first auditors, then called " commissioners," were John
Jenness, Samuel Twomblj^, and John Allen, in 1737.

The first committee to hire a school teacher was chosen in 1750^
and the first superintending committee in 1809 (pp. 157, 161).

In 1755 Samuel Twombly was chosen " culler of staves," and
Ebenezer Place " culler of shingles." ISTo such ofiicers were after-
wards chosen, except a " surveyor of staves " in 1790.

William " Mcfee " and Ichabod Corson were chosen " informers
of who kills deer," in 1759, and this oflace was continued for sev-
eral years.

The first parish wardens were Paul Libbey and Richard Place,
appointed by the toAvn in 1770.

In the same year the first " fence viewers " were chosen : —
Daniel "Wingate, Lieut. Stephen Berry, George Willan, Capt.
Jonathan Ham, and Samuel Laighton.

The first surveyors of lumber were Morris Ellis, Ens. John
Burgess, and Silas Dame, in 1785.

Capt. John Brewster, Jonathan Dame, and Aaron Wingate were
chosen " lot layers " in 1786.

In 1795 Joshua Lane was chosen first sealer of weights and
measures, and Caleb Jackson sealer of leather.

The first surveyors of brick were Joshua Knight, Ichabod Cor-
son, Jr., Joshua Hartford, and Howard Henderson, in 1798.

The first money raised by the town was £150, March 9, 1738.
The first vote to hire money was January 21, 1745, when a com-
mittee was appointed to hire £22 to settle an execution against
the town, and to pa}" for mending the meeting-house windows.
In March, 1890, the town debt was §52,602.73, and the amount
raised by taxation was §68,491.89.

POLITICAL. 543

The first public provision for ligliting the streets was at the
March meeting in 1878, when the selectmen were instructed to pro-
cure and run lifty street lamps to be placed in the three villages in
proportion to their valuation, at a cost not exceeding $2,000 (p. 472).

The first mention of using a check-list is March 13, 1827. The
following record of the number of names on the check-list at dift'er-
ent periods shows the gradual increase in the number of voters: —
1827,491; 1828,522^1831,495; 1834,488; 1838,525; 1843,569;
1864,917; 1867,1,056; 1868,1,030; 1872,1,198; 1876,1,240;
1880, 1,683; 1884, 2,032; 1890, about 2,400.

As a town Rochester has been conservative in action, and not
easily moved to adopt changes. The disposition of her voters seems
to have been to " let w^ell enough alone." This is evident from
some of the preceding as well as following votes. September 13,
1779, when the plan for a state government was first proposed,
Rochester gave only one vote in its favor. When tlie sense of the
people has been taken from time to time on the expediency of re-
vising the State Constitution, Rochester has most of the time voted
against it. The Constitutional Convention of 1850 proposed fifteen
amendments, all of w-hich were rejected in Rochester by a large
majority. Of the amendments proposed by the convention of 1876,
all but one were adopted. The seven amendments of 1889 were
all adopted in Rochester by strong majorities.

In 1836 the question of dividing Strafibrd county was presented
in March, and again in ISTovember, and had a large majority in the
neijative. In March, 1838, the vote on dividincn into three counties
was 22 in favor and 149 against ; but on dividing into t^^'o it stood
142 for and 41 against. In March, 1839, another vote was called
for, which resulted in 165 yeas and 45 nays.

Sundrv other noticeable votes have been as follows: — N'ovember
7, 1836, on the expediency of building an asylum for the insane, 92
yeas and 14 nays.

March 13, 1836, it was voted 120 to 1 that it is inexpedient to
authorize the recording of deeds by the town clerk.

Is^ovember 4, 1854, a vote on abolishing capital punishment stood
38 in favor to 184 ao:ainst.

^larch 14, 1848, on the expediency of a prohibitory law^ there
w^ere 150 yeas to 74 nays.

544 ROCHESTER.

March 11, 1851, on the expediency of the Homestead Exemption
law, yeas 110 and nays 54.

At this time there were over a thousand voters, and it is notice-
able in all these votes that a very small proportion of the people
took interest enough to vote at all.

The following votes were passed March, 1854 : —

"Voted to request our Representatives to Congress to oppose any bill for
organizing any Territories allowiiig Slavery therein, where it is now excluded
by compact. Voted to instruct our Representatives to the Legislature to vote
for no person as United States Senator, unless he is pledged to vote against the
extension of Slavery into territory now free."

Rochester has been liberal in offering inducements to manufac-
turers to locate here. At a town meeting Ma}^ 4, 1872,

"Voted to exempt from taxation any establishment proposed to be erected
and put in operation in said town within ten years, for the terra of five years,
for the manufacture of cotton, wool, w^ood, iron, shoes and boots, and any other
material, provided the capital invested shall exceed one thousand dollars."

Subsequently more specific votes have been passed from time to
time, exempting particular firms, under certain conditions, usually
for a period of ten years.

" On that shore with fowler's tact
Coolly bagging fact on fact.

When the farmer having cut and piled his yearly stock of
wood has gone to his plowing and planting, his thrifty wife
may Ije seen every sunny day gathering her basket of chips,
which she values almost more than the armfuls of solid sticks
with which he has filled her kitchen box. So in writing a town
history, some chips and knots will be scattered along the path,
which, though disjointed and incoherent, are yet too valuable not
to be gathered up.

The Queen Anne cannon procured by Mr. Main (p. 28) seems
worthy a brief notice. After thirty years' possession, in 1776
the gun was demanded back by Col. Evans acting in the name
of the Committee of Safety. The selectmen refused to give it up,
as seen by the following letter : —

" To the Honorable Meshach Weare Esq., President of the General Assembly
now sitting.

Sir : We received an order from the Committee of Safety for the Colony of New
Hampshire, in which we were desired to deliver to Col. Stephen Evans a four pound
cannon which is in this town to be returned to Piscataqua Harbor, &c. Col.
Evans applied for said cannon in April last, but without an order. We told
the colonel we looked upon the cannon to be the town's property, and that it might
be of service in alarming the country, &c., but still we told him we were wil-
ling it should be carried where your Honors should think it would answer the
best end, in case he would give a receipt and promise the value thereof equal
to what hath been given for other cannon bought for the use of the colony, on
which the Col. told us he was in no capacity to receive it on that condition,
and so left it.

On Saturday, 20th June last. Col. Evans sent again for said cannon, and
likewise sent the above order. But as the same difficulty subsisted that there
was at first (there being no person to give a receipt or rather security,) the
cannon was not delivered.

546 ROCHESTER.

The Selectmen acquainted the Committee of Safety for said Town with
their proceedings relative to the cannon. They justify our proceedings, yet
thought the cannon ought to be carried wliere it would answer the best end,
but yet thought our request for the value thereof not unreasonable.

We would herewith testify our readiness to obey all such orders as we shall
receive from the Honorable House from time to time, as also our willingness
with lives and fortunes to bear our proportional part in defending and securing
'to us the rights, liberties and privileges we are now contending for, &c.

We are, Sir, Yours, and the Honorable House's most Humble and Obedient

BARNABAS PALMER, } of

WILLIAM ALLEN, ) Rochester.

Rochester, July 3, 1776."

From this time the town retained undisputed possession of this
ancient relic of royalty. It is impossible to trace all its wander-
ings, in which it seems to have experienced more than the usual
vicissitudes of earthly afi'airs, — from the minister's to the tavern,
— from scaring away "the barbarous Indian enemy," to cele-
bratins: with boomins; voice manv anniversaries of national inde-
pendence ; — used lirst by one political party and then the other
to hurl notes of defiance to their foes; — ever faithful through
good report and evil report; — until, like many a brave soldier,
its existence was thrown away in a noble cause by the folly and
recklessness of its commander.

Originally intended as an alarm gun to summon the people in the
hour of danger during the Indian wars, it was kept at Parson
Main's. It was afterwards moved to the Wolfe Tavern (p. 485),
a place of no small renown, being not merely the only public
house, but the only store, where not only accommodations for
weary travelers but stich necessities of life as rum and crockery-
ware were dispensed to anxious customers. Here the old gun
for a long time found hospitable shelter, where its powers of loud
speaking were not over-tested by warlike youths.

Among the many episodes of its eventful history, we find the
following: On the day the Electors were to meet in 1840, the
"Whigs arranged to fire a salute with the old gun. Knowing their
political opponents would prevent it if possible, they stationed a
guard around the place where the gun was kept the night before.
But in spite of all precautions, some one was crafty enough to
crawl into the house and spike the gun. But the work was so
hastily done, that the spike was easily removed, and the last toast

by which the day was celebrated was: — "The rat-tail tile, — like
all other loco-foco experiments, — a complete failure."

The cannon was exploded July 4, 1845, by William J. Roberts,
William Ilodgdon, and others. Its fragments found an inglorious
burial among metal of less noble origin in the iron heaps of the
foundry. The town had lost a time-honored friend, and there
were many mourners.

At the next town meeting the selectmen were instructed to
prosecute the individuals who had sold the old iron. There was
a long and expensive lawsuit in which the town was finally de-
feated by not being able to establish its ownership. This result
seems to have been well deserved by the town for neglecting to
care for so valuable a relic.

The town appears to have had no bills for the support of the
poor until 1749. The first pauper was Richard Hammock, one
of the original proprietors. Unwilling to acknowledge him as a
public charge, after supporting him one year the town sued " the
parish of Somersworth " for reimbursement. One item excepted,
the bills in reference to Hammock's case were the whole town
expenses for that year. As the town soon after refused to " hier "
a schoolmaster, the orthography of the records at this time may
be of interest to the reader. It was voted to build " a brig at
Cosheco river at Norway Plains."' And the Hammock account
stands as follows : —

" To cash paid 2 lawyears 0— 4 — 19

to paid Squr. Gage for swairing everdances 0 — 7 — 6

to paid Squr. Millet for a jackets cloth 1 — 10 — 0

to paid Gonial Smith for acoppey of a warrant 0 — 4 — 0

to paid for making Richard Hammock a shurt 0 — 3 — 0

to paying y'^ jury 0 — 13— 0

to treeting y*^ jury 0 — 5 — 0

to paid for entering our axiou at cort 0 — 15 — 9

Cash paid for an appel 0 — 5 — 0 "

The case was evidently lost on the first trial, but on the " appel '"'
it appears that "treeting the jury" was attended with greater
success, for no more bills were paid for Richard, and the town
was credited with an execution against Somersworth. The amount,
however, scarcely exceeded the expenses of the lawsuit, — a result
not unknown in modern times. Many years passed before any
other pauper was established on the town, for the selectmen were

As in most New Hampshire towns these early records show
traces of the existence of slavery. In 1767 live slaves were re-
turned from Rochester, three male and two female. One of the
latter was Huldah Bickford (p. 82). The other is unknown. The
males were Mrs. Main's "negro man Pomp," "C?esar" the slave
of Capt. Jonathan Ham who lived at " the Neck,"' and one un-
known. Jonathan Ham was a sea captain, and a man of some
note in those times. With the aid of Ctesar, who had been trained
to the cultivation of tobacco, he was able to raise his own " weed."
It is said that he once sent home some coffee, but as he gave no
directions about its use, the family cooked it as they would beans.
After boiling it a long time with no prospect of softening, they
gave it up in disgust. Capt. Ham raised more potatoes than any
other man in town. One year his crop filled a half hogshead,
and people far and near speculated with much wonder what he
could do with so many. Soon after coming from the South,
Ca?sar awoke one morning to find the ground covered with snow,
which puzzled his wits exceedingly. Thinking it must be sugar
he seized a hoe and began eagerly scraping it into heaps, and
was much vexed, on tasting, to discover his mistake. At one
time Capt. Ham was dangerously sick, and Csesar was very anx-
ious. When Dr. Howe came, he inquired if " Massa Ham " would
get well. The Doctor told him that he thought his master would
die, and that nothing but prayer could save him. Ca?sar, who was
very religious, immediately hastened to the barn, whither the Doc-
tor noiselessly followed, and heard him utter earnestly the following
prayer : —

"O Lord! ^0 sabe Massa Ham! Massa Ham a berry good man! Massa
Ham good to make plow ! Massa Ham good to make harrow ! O Lord ! don't
take Massa Ham ! If you must take somebody, take old Bickford 1 he ain't
good for nothing."

The Doctor repeated this to Capt. Ham with such exhilarating

eftect that he began to mend at once. So Caesar's prayer saved
his master. He was afterwards known as " Ct^sar Wingate "
from living for a time at Judge Wingate's on the Chestnut Hills
road. Twent}^ years ago the author conversed with an old lady
who remembered C?esar well and had many anecdotes of his odd
and semi-savage habits. His ebony face, glistening eyes, and ivory
teeth made a deep impression on her youthful mind. Like most
of the slaves in New Hampshire he became free at the close of
the Revolution. It is worthy of remembrance that while our
town has to bear the stigma of having held men in slavery, one
of this abused race stands on the roll of honor, as one of the
quota of Rochester in the Revolution, and fought three years for
our independence (p. 71). In 1783, the same year that our inde-
pendence was acknowledged, the last slave in Rochester died, and
Mr. Haven considered the fact worthy of notice in his discourse
the following Sabbath. He remarked : —

" Every one who prizes liberty will piously wish that this may be the last
African ever held as a slave in this place. Liberty is alike precious to all; and
we ought to abhor the idea of slavery, when it is not a punishment for some
previous crime."

The records of every town will be found to contain some refer-
ence to the " surplus revenue" which is a puzzle to most of the
present generation. In Jackson's administration the United States'
revenue was larger than the expenses of government, and in 1836
Congress voted to " deposit the surplus " with the several state gov-
ernments. !N^ew Hampshire divided her share among the several
towns in proportion to the population. March 14, 1837, Rochester
voted to receive her part, and the agent appointed received from the
state treasurer $5,496.12. This was loaned at six per cent interest,
and the town voted to appropriate the income for the support of
schools. In December, 1841, it was decided by a vote of more than
three to one to divide the " sur2:)lus fund " equally among the legal
voters and w^idows having a settlement. The following March an
unsuccessful attempt was made to reconsider this vote. Owing to
some mismanagement or unwise investment, the amount divided
in 1845, which with accumulated interest should have been as much
as $6,500, was only about $3,700. Had the fund been wisely in-
vested and held, the town w^ould have had an annual income of some

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 551

$325 for schools. As it was, it practically amounted to nothing for
the town's benefit, each taxpayer receiving only a few dollars.

ROCHESTER MILITIA.

Public holidays have long played an important part in the lives of
the laboring people of New England. Besides the various state and
national holidays, Rochester, like other towns, has often observed
certain days of her own for recreation and enjoyment. At present
no holiday is so eagerly awaited by the inhabitants of this and the
neighboring towns as the Rochester Fair, held at that most delight-
ful of seasons, the last of September and the tirst of October. The
general muster of the militia at the same time of year was a holi-
day of no less interest and importance to the people of two preced-
ing generations. By a state law of 1792, able-bodied citizens be-
tween the ages of eighteen and forty-five were required to meet
twice a year for military drill. To these spring and fall trainings
for each company in its own town was afterwards added the annual
muster of the Thirty-ninth Regiment. This regiment consisted of
five companies of regular infantry, one from each of the villages of
Farmington, West Farmington, ^Milton Three Ponds, Gonic, and
Rochester, together with one Light Infantry Company collected
from all parts of the district, and the Rochester Artillery Com-
pany.* Sixty years ago this company ranked among the finest
military organizations in the State. The only other companies that
could be regarded as its rivals were the Strafiford Guards of Dover,
the Rockingham Guards of Portsmouth, and the Keene Light Li-
fantry, commanded by the veteran Gen. James Wilson. In its early
days this arm of the old militia was the pride of Rochester and em-
braced many of her best citizens. This company was organized as
early as 1825 by William Hurd,t who was its first captain. Under
his command the company became noted for efficiencj' and exact
discipline. It was his boast that when drilling as infantry, he could
" march them over a hay-mow without breaking ranks." His daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hubbard, relates, with commendable pride, that when
they were to engage in a sham fight and competitive drill at Dover,

* The following account of this company is mainly on authoritj' of Colonel Whitehouse.

t William Hurd moved into the village about 1816, and left many remembrances of his
public sjiirit, among whicli are trees of iiis planting which still beautify both sides of Main
street.

her father, anxious that every member should be on time, had the
whole company assemble at his house in the night, where he gave
them a hot breakfast and then marched them to Dover, whence
they marched back the same night, " bringing the prize wnth them,"
They were trained to perform the most difficult evolutions at the
motion of the sword, and rarely made a mistake. After the death
of Captain Hurd in 1830, Jonathan H. Henderson commanded the
company, and his successors in otfice were Joseph Dame, James M.
W. Downs, Charles Demerritt, Lewis Garland, George W. Varney,,
and Ezekiel Ricker who commanded the company for the last seven
years of its existence. Members w^ere carefully selected as to size
and all other qualifications, and every man who could not " fill the
bill" was rejected. Consequently, membership was sought as an
honor, and its ranks were filled with bright, energetic young men,
and its ofiicers were men of public spirit, standing, and character
in the community. Thus the company was a favorite with the peo-
ple, and its gatherings for drill were always looked forward to with
much interest. Their gun was an exceptionally fine brass six-
pounder, which was kept in a building near where the schoolhouse
stands, on the east side of the common, bearing the inscription,.
" Gun House, 39th Reg't." On the disbandment of the company
in 1849, this gun was returned to Portsmouth.

The same year the " Rochester Phalanx " was organized with J.
H. Edgerly as captain, but it was found impossible to arouse sufii-
cient military enthusiasm to maintain its activity for more than a
year.

The regimental muster of all these companies was usually held
at Rochester, but on difiPerent fields : one year at the old trotting
park, one year near where Samuel Varney lives, but generally in
later years either on the Kenney field (p. 489) back of where Wal-
lace's factory now is, or on the Hale field across the railroad from
where Breed's factory stands. The scenes and incidents of those
muster days defy description. Everybody and his wife and chil-
dren, rising long before day, came flocking to town in rattling
wagons, hay-carts, ox-carts, and lumbering vehicles of indescribable
variet}^, or hastening across the frosty fields on foot, clad in Sunday
garb, with glowing faces and staring eyes, eager to be astonished at
the long-expected display, and to enjoy the sports and excitements
of the occasion. The proud militia man himself would get up in.

gcason to do all liis chores about the fiirrn, and from miles distant
arrive on the scene at five or six o'clock in the morning. And if
snch was the excitement of private citizens and soldiers, who can
estimate the fiery zeal and swelling pride of the oificers as they
strutted about in the morning or issued orders to their companies
from the tavern steps, and later in the day came upon the field re-
splendent in the glory of blue coats, white pantaloons, and tall caps
shining with patent leather and decked with waving plumes of
snowy whiteness, — seeming to the gaping crowd greater than king
or president ! Usually nobody had a higher appreciation of their
greatness than the officers themselves, who resented the slightest
infringement upon their exalted dignity. And yet the officer's po-
sition was not of unmixed pleasure. It had its drawbacks. His
election brought the immediate necessity of treating the company,
and a frequent method of " honoring an officer " was to assemble
around his house in the early morning, wakening him with their
furious cheers, and then partake of a hearty breakfast not ungar-
nished with other " refreshments," at his expense. Such things
have a tendency to constant growth, so that in later times, at least,
many refused military office on account of the increasing attendant
expenses.

The muster field at its best presented a gay appearance. The
various companies drawn up in line, with muskets and accouter-
ments brischt and clean, the officers scattered between the lines with
fine uniforms and stately plumes, the Light Infantry much like the
officers but with shorter plumes, and the Artillery Company with
their formidable cannon, together with the motle}' crowd on every
side, must have been an attractive and interesting scene. Ginger-
bread carts, candy stands, and all sorts of variety shows, wdth an
occasional fight between heated partisans from different towns, af-
forded abundant merriment and diversion. Liquor and gambling
booths grew more and more frequent, so that one year CVaptain
Samuel Jones and his company from Farmington made a charge
upon them and pitched them and their belongings over the fence,
(p. 313.)

The brisk step, the martial dignity, and the clear, distinct orders
of the morning had, in those days, generally become somewhat
limp, languid, and indistinct toward the close of the day. Many
still living can remember the great contrast between the inspiriting,

554 ROCHESTER.

clear-cat, exactlj-timed strains of fife and drum as the companies
came marching to the field in the morning, and the slip-shod,
timeless whistle, and fumbling taps as they started on their home-
ward way.

Doubtless many anecdotes might be picked up to illustrate the
amusing peculiarities of those great days. It was customary to fire
a salute at the moment the Colonel appeared on the field. One
Colonel, deeply sensible of the dignity of the oifice to which he
had just been commissioned, complained to the Artillery Company
that their salute was not loud enough, — not at all such as the
Colonel of the Thirty-ninth Regiment ought to receive. The
company made no reply, but the next year loaded their cannon
to the very muzzle, and awaited his arrival. As he rode upon
the field, erect and swelling with a proud sense of his great dignity,
the salute came with a terrific explosion. Everybody was startled,
and the Colonel's horse becoming unmanageable cast his noble form
with all its splendid adornments sprawling in the dust. As they
intended, no further complaints were made of the weakness of their
salute.

This same Colonel in making the customary speech to the Reg-
iment in the afternoon, was very pompous and fond of using high-
sounding words without regard to their fitness. One of his expres-
sions has come down to the present time. He said he hoped nobody
would do anything to " disgrace, enhance, or ridicule " the militia.

The last general muster was in 1847, and the remembrance of
those festive scenes is fast fading away, so that it is now difficult
to realize the important position which ''Muster Day" held in
the lives of our predecessors. Descriptions of those days not only
aflbrd entertainment, but are a valuable part of history, furnishing
a characteristic picture of JTew England life during the first half
of tlie present century.

A little more than ten years after the dissolution of the militia
system, the people were suddenly summoned to arms to defend the
life of the Nation, and instead of gala-day festivities, came weary
marches, and fields deluged with blood. There was no longer the
time or the disposition to 2;foj/ at soldiering in presence of the fearful
reality. Nearly twenty years elapsed before the young men of
another generation began to feel the fascinations of military display.
The State made provision for volunteer service, and companies were

formed in all the cities and most of the large towns. The company
formed at Rochester appears on the state rolls as Co. E, 2d Regi-
ment Xew Hampshire liational Guard, but was organized as the
Sturtevant Guards July 11, 1884. This name was in honor of J. D.
Sturtevant (p. 477) who made them a donation of ^100. The first
officers were Isaac D. Piercy, captain ; Fred L. Chesley, first lieu-
tenant; and Horatio L. Cate, second lieutenant.

became its leader. The original members, besides himself, were

was sent from Great Falls to Concord, with a great crowd of
people, among whom were about two hundred from Rochester
accompanied by Mechanics' Band. This band attracted much
attention and was regarded one of the finest in the State. " On the
return of the band to Rochester the ladies of the village awaited it
with a beautiful flag, which was presented in a neat speech by Eliza
Kenney (afterwards Mrs. Z. Sargent), and a speech of acceptance
was made by G. B. Roberts. This flag was kept by John Hall for
forty years and presented to the American Band."

The " Rochester Brass Band " held its first meetings in the old
Court House, in September, 1850, and continued six years. Its
membership was as follows : — I. W. Springfield, president ; Charles
G. Ilorney, leader; George Allison, John Beecher, Andrew Giles,
Thomas Hall, Abial Home, Edward Horney, George H. Horney,
Benjamin Jellerson, Charles E. Manson, Levi L. Pierce, John H,
Richardson, T. Richardson, John W. Ricker, and James Robinson.

The " American Band," which is still flourishing, was formed
in September, 1871. For most of the time Lewis S. Clark has
been its director. From 1876 to 1881 this band hired the services
of Mr, Carty, and under his skillful training achieved a desirable
reputation in the surrounding country. Its financial success has

556 ROCHESTER.

been largely due to the wise management of its treasurer, Charles
F. Caverly.

In 1889 the " Cadet Band " was formed, composed of French
residents, and has already made creditable progress under the
directorship of Lewis S. Clark. Eindge's Band of Gonic was
organized the same year, so that Rochester has three bands at the
present time.

East Rochester has had two bands at different times, but too
short-lived to achieve much distinction.

ROCHESTER FAIR.

In 1874 the people of Rochester becoming dissatisHed with the
management of the old County Fair, determined to start one of
their own, and the " Rochester Agricultural and Mechanical Asso-
ciation " was formed " to improve and stimulate mechanical and
agricultural skill." Within three weeks after the subject was first
broached, the fair was in successful operation on the old Riverside
Trotting Park. A hastily collected exhibition of farm and mechan-
ical products was displayed in a canvas tent. For the next two
years no fair was held because satisfactory arrangements could not
be made with the Riverside Association. In 1877 and 1878, how-
ever, fairs were successfully held on the same ground. After trying
in vain to purchase the Riverside Park, the Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association bought a tract of thirty-eight acres, which
they named " Cold Spring Park," from the powerful spring in a
wooded ravine on its eastern side, from which a steam-pump
forces an abundant supply of pure cold water to all parts of the
grounds. The first fiiir held in this park was in 1879. The
exhibition building then used was destroyed by a violent storm
in the winter of 1882, and the present one was erected the fol-
lowing summer, being in the form of a Maltese cross 90 feet each
way. Besides this there is a mechanics' building 35 by 100 feet, a
grand stand capable of seating two thousand persons, and stables
1,250 feet in length. There is also an art building 25 by 60 feet
with a 2:raceful tower in the center, and a " Cafe " consistino- of
two wings, each 25 by 77 feet. ISTearly $25,000 has already been
expended, and during the coming year it is proposed to enlarge
the present buildings, to erect a shed 300 feet long for town teams,
and largely improve the ground in other respects.

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 557

The Association was formed hv seventy men who paid a dollar
each for membership, and this |70 is all that has been paid in,
except the income of the fairs. In 1886 the organization was
changed to a stock company with one hundred shares of $50 each.
One share was given to each of the seventy original members,
but the other thirty shares have never been issued. The first
ofiicers were I. AV. Springfield, president; A. S. Parshley, secre-
tary; and A. W. Hayes, treasurer; all of whom have retained
their offices to the present time.

This institution has been phenomenal in its growth and success.
From the small show in the canvas tent of the first fair, its large
and elegant buildings are now yearly crowded with rare and inter-
esting products of the soil or of the shop, and from the hundreds of
1874, it has come to attract thousands of people from the sur-
rounding country to gaze with admiring eyes on its annual displays
of agricultural and mechanical productions. The first year only
about $1,200 was taken, but in 1890 the receipts were over $10,000.
This great success has been due not only to the fact of meeting
a public want, but largely also to the enterprising skill of its
principal managers, and especially to the efiicient energy of its
treasurer, Captain Hayes.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

For indisputable antiquity, universal celebrity, and world-wide
brotherhood. Freemasonry is easily first of all secret orders. The
foundinsi; of a Lodge in Rochester was mainlv due to the eflbrts of
J. H. Woodman (p. 332), who presented a petition therefor at a
special communication of the Grand Lodge which was held at
the house of Andrew Lovejoy in Sanbornton, October 25, 1809,
Edward J. Long being Grand Master. A dispensation was issued
to J. H. Woodman, Timothy F. Preston, Benjamin Wiggin, and
others, to assemble as a Lodge of Masons in Rochester; and at
a quarterly communication of the Grand Lodge at Portsmouth,
October 24, 1810, Clement Storer being Grand Master, a charter
was granted them to assemble under the title of " Humane Lods-e
No. 21." This Lodge has from the beginning borne upon its
records the names of many of the best and most distinguished of
our citizens, and consequently has had a successful and honorable
career of useful and benevolent activity.

558 ROCHESTER.

Temple Chapter ISTo. 20, of Royal Arch Masons was organized
under a charter bearing date May 18, A. I. 2405, A. T>. 1875, with
the following charter members: — James Farrington, Charles B.
Gafney, George Corson, Joseph A. Dame, Charles K. Chase, James
H. Edgerly, Solomon H. Feineman, Frederick Feineman, Isaac
W. Springtield, Franklin McDuifee, Charles E. Manson, Arthur
D. Whitehouse, E. C. Blackmar, Everett M. Sinclair, William
Moore, and Silas G, Kello2:2:. The first High Priest was James
Farrington. The present membership, October, 1890, is 117, with
John L. Copp as High Priest.

Among benevolent organizations of modern origin. Odd-fellow-
ship is deservedly pre-eminent. March 16, 1846, Motolinia Lodge
'No. 18 was instituted by Grand Master S. H, Parker, with Charles
Dennett, Stephen M. Mathes, Jacob McDufFee, M. T. Curtis, and
Edwin Bradbury as charter members. Asa P. Hanson, George B.
Roberts, I. W. Springfield, and John Stott were initiated the same
day, and Asa P. Hanson was the first ISToble Grand. At the end
of the first year there were 48 members, 39 residing in Rochester
and 9 in Farmington. Woodbine Lodge of Farmington, and
Miltonia Lodge of Milton both sprang from this Lodge, besides
the other two Lodges in Rochester. The character of the mem-
bership and the management of this Lodge have secured to Odd-
fellowship a high standing in this vicinity.

Kennedy Lodge I. O. O. F. was instituted by Grand Master S. J.
Osgood, August 24, 1875. The charter members were Thomas
Brown, Ira Doe, John Crockett, Charles W. Brown, Osman B.
Warren, Wilbur F. Warren, John H. Pingree, George W. Rollins,
and James H. Warburton. Twenty-one were initiated the first
night, and the first jSToble Grand was Charles W. Brown.

Cocheco Lodge No. 39 I. 0. 0. F. was organized at East Roch-
ester, April 26, 1878, Grand Master Henry A. Farrington con-
ducting the ceremonies. Elbridge H. Corson was the first ISToble
Grand.

ISTorway Plains Encampment I. 0. 0. F. was instituted September
11, 1849, by Past Grand Master S. H. Parker, and the first Chief
Patriarch was Thomas Brown,

Of still more recent benevolent orders, the Knights of Pythias
Btands foremost. Rising Sun Lodge No. 7, K. of P., was instituted

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 559

Jainiarv 5, 1870, with twentv-two cliarter members. W. F. Horn
was first Chancellor Commander, Andrew Daijijett holdinfj the
same office at the present time, October, 1890. This organization
has flourished from the beginning, and bears on its rolls the names
of man}' of our leading citizens.

The order of " Patrons of Husbandry," better known to the
public as " Grangers," began in the city of Washington in 1867,
and has rapidly spread over the whole country. Eochester Grange
No. 86 was organized May 30, 1876, and is composed of some of
the best farmers in town with their families. The first Master was
I. W. Springfield, who held the office for ten years. His successors
have been Dudley B. Waldron and Frank P. Wentworth.

Punnawitt Tribe l^o. 9, Improved Order of Ped Men, was insti-
tuted on the 3d Sun, "Warm Moon, G. S. D. 396 (March 3, 1887),
with T. C. Hennem, Prophet, and J. S. Daniels, Sachem. The
Order has rajMdly increased, containing at present one hundred and
twenty-five members with C. W. Evans, Prophet, and L. G. Cooper,
Sachem.

Sampson Post, G. A. P., has already been noticed (p. 235).

Other secret orders are quite numerous in Rochester, as: — the
Knights of the Golden Eagle ; the Golden Cross ; the United Order
of American Workmen; the Ancient Order of Hibernians; the
Saint Jean Baptiste Societe; the Ancient Order of Foresters; the
Good Templars, and doubtless many more.

CEMETERIES.

The first recorded mention of a burial ground in Pochester is
found in the Proprietors' record of May 28, 1744, when six acres
of land was given to Mr. Main with the condition that he should
not encroach on the burying place. This was probably the same
burying ground which having been before " given by the Propri-
etors " was laid out June 28.1777, — " beginning about 20 ft due
East from the jS'orth East Corner of the meeting house." The six
acres deeded to Mr. Main included this lot, and he left it by will to
his " heirs and assigns forever." Tradition says that in digging the
first grave a stone was found so large that it had to be drawn out

560 ROCHESTER.

by a yoke of oxen, and that it was left as a natural monument at
the head of the grave, where it may still be seen near the upper
wall. The oldest legible inscription is that of John McDuU'ee,
who died 1752. Another worthy of notice is "In memory of Mrs.
Elizabeth Plumer Wife of the Hon. John Plumer Esq. who died
Jan^ 26. 1770."' Here also are buried several of the early min-
isters, as has been previously mentioned. (Chap. VI.) Another
stone bearing the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Cochran recalls a sad
accident. She was travelina; on horseback with her husband
from Londonderry to Conway, and her horse taking fright she
was thrown near the Wolfe Tavern where she soon died Oct. 21,
1778, in the thirty-first year of her age. This lot is now known
as the " Haven Hill Cemetery," and has long ceased to be used,
except occasionally by the descendants of a few old families.

After the new meeting-house was built in 1780, it was proposed
to have the common around it for a burying-grouDd according to
the old English custom, and a few interments were made there.
But the o;round was so wet that the graves would fill with water
as fast as they were dug, and the dead were removed to what is
now known as the " Old Cemetery." This was laid out in 1800,
according to the following record : —

" Return of Burying ground
" Agreeable to a vote of the Town of Rochester passed, we have laid out of
the Town's land for a burying place as follows, beginning near the clay pits
on a line extended from the lower side line of the lot sold Hatevil Knight

The clay pits mentioned refer to a very ancient brickyard near
the " Old Cemetery '" and recall tlie following anecdote. Messrs.
U. and W. were sworn enemies. Mr. U. was very sick with fever,
and one night said to John McDuflee who was watching with
him, " I am very sick and may die, and I don't want m}' bones
made into brick, to be put into W.'s hearth, for him to put his
feet on."

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 561

The oldest lesjible inscription here is " Mary B. Wife of Hatevil
Knight, Died 1801.'' This lot remained unfenced for many years,
and when the little son of Capt. William Hard died in December,
1826, he built a fence around the grave, with a tablet bearing
this verse : —

" Sacred should be Ihe place where sleep the dead,
Behold this rooted up, by cattle fed.
When our devoted friends are buried here
The unfjrateful man forgets, nor sheds a tear."

Through his intluence the cemetery was fenced soon after.

By the efforts of Charles A. C. Hanson a fund of nearly five
thousand dollars has been secured for the perpetual care of the
" Old Cemetery." (Appendix.) The care of this under the annexed
conditions was accepted by tlie town at the annual meeting March
11, 1890.

Foreseeing the necessity of a new cemetery, Franklin McDuftee
and Ebenezer G. Wallace bought the land adjoining the " Old Cem-
etery " in order to reserve it for that purpose alone. September 9,
1864, they sold it to the Rochester Cemetery Association for $750,
the same that they paid for it. This lot has since been known
as the " New Cemetery,'' and is described in the deed as follows : —

"Beginning on the northerly side of the road leading from Rochester Village
to East Rochester at the Southwesterly Corner of land owned by the Great Falls
and Conway Railroad Company, thence running north thirty eight degrees west by
said Companies' land twenty four rods five links thence south fifty one degrees
west seventy nine rods fourteen links to the stone post in the northeasterly corner
of burying ground recently opened by Walter F. Farrington : thence south thirty
two degrees east by said burying ground nine rods and twenty links ; thence
southerly by said burying ground fence as it now stands to land of Silas Went-
worth : thence south Seventy two degrees east by said Wentvvorlh's land twelve
rods twenty links to the road running to East Rochester ; thence by said road
north forty nine degrees east thirty six rods eight links; thence north fifty degrees
east by said road forty six rods to the bound begun at."

They sold the first lot June 1, 1865, to Thomas E. Sherman of
!N'ewport, R. I. Sixteen days later they bought of Walter F. Far-
rington a small " heater-shape " piece of land adjoining. May 9,
1877, they purchased of Enoch T. AVilley fifteen and seven six-
teenths acres just across the road from their first purchase. This
lot was bounded on one side bv the old road to East Rochester,
and on another by the Great Falls & Conway railroad. March
23, 1841, the Association bought still another lot adjoining the

last. The first burial here was that of Jonathan Overaud, August,
1865 (p. 513). Shice then the '^ New Cemetery " has filled rapidly,
and its neatly kept walks and grounds with many fine monuments
are worthy of special notice.

The cemetery back of the Gonic schoolhouse was originally part
of the Benjamin Hayes' farm now owned by Col. Charles S. White-
house. It is practically, however, a public burying ground, and
has been used as such for as many as seventy-five vears. It contains
some one hundred and seventy-five graves.

Cold Spring Cemetery, named from a spring of clear, cold water
in its northerly corner, is situated on the bank of the Salmon Falls
river, just east of East Rochester village, and contains about five
acres. The land was bought of George W. and Joseph Blaisdell,
March 29, 1883, by an association consisting of Charles Blaisdell,
Elbridge H. Corson, Frank AV. Corson, John L. Dillingham,
George L. Hayes, Sidney B. Hayes, George McCrillis, Joel S.
McCrillis, John C. Shorej^ and Stephen F. Shorey. Joseph Blais-
dell's son Benjamin F., who died ISTovember 16, 1864, of wounds
received in battle, had already been buried in this lot. After it
was laid out as a cemetery, the first burials were children of J. C.
Shorey and E. H. Corson, which were disinterred and brought
here. The next burial was that of William P. Folsom, who died
February 19, 1884. Between seventy and eighty lots have been sold,
and the grounds are being beautified and improved every year.

About half a mile west of Rochester village lies the French
Catholic Cemetery which was consecrated May 30, 1886.

The Irish Catholic Cemeterv a little below the village on the
new road to Dover was consecrated July 4, 1888.

Some other small private burying grounds require no special
notice.

A strange fanaticism which gained a footing in East Rochester
and other places, about thirty years ago, cannot well be omitted
in a history of the town.

Elder George J. Adams, who had been a Methodist minister for
eight years, afterwards a stage actor, and a Mormon preacher,
suddenly made his appearance one rainy Sunday in October, 1861,
at the house of John W. Tebbetts, where Isaac Rankins now lives
at Blaisdell's Corner. He had his wife and boy with him and asked

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 563

for food and slielter. Duriiit;; the preceding year he had gathered
a few followers at Springfield, Mass., and was now on his way
to Maine. At Addison, Me., and the vicinity he gained a large
number of disciples, among whom a Mr. McKenzie joined him in
.publishing a paper called "The Sword of Truth and Harbinger
of Peace," and furnished considerable money for his other schemes.
After a few months he came back to East Rochester and held fre-
quent meetings in the church and in the schoolhouse at Blaisdell's
Corner. He declared that he had been appointed of God to es-
tablish the true " Church of the Messiah " ; that two angels had
ordained him to the Priesthood of Melchizedek, and had given
him power to heal the sick by laying on of hands. Many crowded
to hear him, and a great impression was made, about forty joining
his church. They called themselves " Ephraimites," and said that
the other churches were Babylon. He persuaded them to turn all
their property into money and follow him to Palestine where the
Lord would soon come and make them rulers; some over ten
cities, and some over five, according to the Scripture promise. He
took their money to buy land in what he called the "Valley of
Jehoshaphat," near the city of Jaffa, each one paying from $45 to
^100 dollars in gold for a lot. By his persuasive speech he induced
one hundred and fifty-six persons, about twenty-five of whom were
from East Rochester, to intrust their money and themselves to his
care. They sailed from Jonesport, Me., on the 10th of August,
1866, and on arriving at Jaffa, built sixteen houses on a lot of
about four acres just outside the city. They soon found they
had been terribl}^ deceived. " The first building put up was a
rum-shop, and its best customer was the elder. One of his cronies
said that he spent over §500 in liquor in a few months, and was
subject to delirium tremens. He had control of the funds, nearly
all of which he appropriated to his own use." By the next June
starvation was at their doors with no prospect of relief, and many
of their number died from the hardships encountered. In the
very extremity of their distress, Moses S. Beech of ISTew York
gave the money necessary to bring them home, wdiere a remnant
of fifty-three arrived November 15, 1867.

564 ROCHESTER.

Occasional " mad dog " scares furnish excitement to almost every
country town. One such occurred in Rochester about 1812, when
hydrophobia seemed to have assumed an epizootic form. Col-
lector Hayes had a steer bitten in the tail by a mad fox which
he fortunately killed on the spot with a stake. The steer was
also killed and burned in a great fire built for the purpose.
Seeing what appeared to be a mad dog running by, Squire Plumer
hastily mounted his horse and hurried to warn the people. After
biting some other animals the dog was killed in Mr. Barker's
yard. A dog-killer's club was formed, and the members ransacked
the town, slaughtering every dog they could find. Some families
tried to conceal their pets, but they were all dragged out and
slain. One old lady had a hog bitten in the nose, and her hired
hands were about to kill it, but she insisted on building a pen
with a high fence to secure it from harming any other animal, and
it gave no further trouble, proving the best hog of the season.

About the first of IS^ovember, 1860, quite a sensation w^as pro-
duced by the discovery of human bones, by some boys jumping
down a sand bank near the old trotting park, where the notorious
" Foss Tavern " once stood. They were thought to be the remains
of a young Nova Scotian named Webster who came here from
l^ewburyport, Mass., and was supposed to have been murdered
about 1846 by a rival in love. It was known that about 1853 an
old woman living near by, had sent for an " elder," when on her
death bed, and had made some startling confession, so that she
was very carefully attended, being apparently' under surveillance
instead of neglect as before.

Every towai has its peculiar local names, the origin of which is
often a puzzle to succeeding generations. The only remembrancer
to Rochester people of the Rev. Avery Hall is found in the name
" Whitehall Swamp," sometimes written White Hall. In the dry
years of 1761-62 this tract was so deepl}^ burned over that the
soil itself was almost destroyed. After the fire, white birches
sprang up and covered it so thickly that it became literally wdiite.
A large part of it being " parsonage land " belonged to Mr. Hall
wdiile he was the legal minister. Hence the name; perhaps, at
first, Hall's White Swamp, which would be easily transposed to
the present form. The name first appears upon the town records
during Mr. Hall's ministry.

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 565

" Bine Job " in the edge of \Yhat is now Farmington received
its name in a similar way. ''Blue" describes the appearance of
the mountain, or, as some sav, alludes to the great number of
blueberries that grow there; and "Job" is from Job Allard who
formerly owned the mountain. Of most other Rochester local
names the origin is obvious or has already been given.

!N'ew Hampshire streams have always been subject to great
" freshets " or floods. Old records refer to such in 1770 and 1785,
sweeping away mills and bridges in all directions. That they are
less frequent or less destructive in recent times is doubtless owing
both to firmer built structures, and floods rendered smaller bv the
extensive removal of the ancient forests.

On the first page of the flj'-leaf of the old town book, which
begins with records of 1737, we flnd the following: —

" Rochester June y* oO''^ 1750 we had a severe hard frost which killd most of the
Pumkins Vines and Beans Squashes and cucumbers and cut the Tops of the corn
of through most of the town —

" Monday 15"* Jany 1770 and the Day before was as Great a Flood of Rain as
has been Known in the Age of a man which swelld the fresh Rivers so as to Sweep
away most of the Bridges over them hereabout and in this Town in Particular and
many Mills were Carried away or much Damaged."

A few now living still remember the famous " cold season " of
1816, and many of the present generation have been deeply im-
pressed b}^ the accounts of it which they have heard from parents
or grandparents. The following is a page from " John Plummer
Jun' Day book began the 12'^ day of October 1803." The dates
are a little mixed : —

" 1816 July 4*^ Dreadfull windy and cold & frost nites for four days in succession

Many people still remember the spring of 1841 when snowdrifts
were over the fences till the first of May, it being the coldest
April ever known. Many cattle almost starved being compelled
to subsist by browsing trees cut for them by the farmers in the
lack of hay.

To all who remember the "Anti-Slavery Conflict," in which
originated the " Woman's Rights" movement, so called, the name
of " Abby Folsom " must be familiar, though few may remember
that she was from Rochester. She was the daughter of Paul
Harford (p. 129), and was born in 1792. She married Peter
Folsom, who learned his trade of Capt. Odiorne, and kept a sad-
dler's shop in his house next below the Methodist Episcopal church.
He was a man of much wit and natural ability, but would have
occasional "sprees," though he reformed and was a consistent
member of the Congregational church in the latter part of his
life. After a few years trial, "Abby" left him, and returned
to live with her sister at their old home, from which they removed
to Boston. She became noted as an energetic advocate of all so-
called " reforms," and as one of the earliest woman lecturers.
She was benevolent and sympathetic towards all who were suf-
fering whether justly or unjustly, and would go into the courts
to plead for those on trial, and into the jails to seek their release ;
and if successful, would often take them to her home and aid them
to secure employment. She was a frequent visitor to the State
House during sessions of the Legislature, and whether there, or
at other public gatherings in halls or in churches, it was impos-
sible to keep her silent if anything was said that displeased her.
She was generally let alone to talk as she pleased, but when it
became necessary to good order to restrain and silence her, she
became violent and unmanageable. She felt she had a mission
and was determined to fulfill it in spite of all opposition. She

UNCLASSIFIED MISCELLANIES. 567

was Ibiul of little children, and often invited tlieni to her home
Avhen livino; in Rochester, and sometimes visited the schoolroom to
give them good advice or repeat to them some text of Scripture.
Returning in her last years to the old homestead she died there
.August 5, 1867, aged seventy-five years, and at her own request
was buried in the same grave with her sister in the old cemetery.

Only elderly people have now any adequate impression of the
intense bitterness of political rancor prevailing during the anti-
slavery conflict. At one time both Henry Wilson and a promi-
nent Democrat w^ere to speak the same day in Rochester or vicinity,
and the friends of each had engaged a dinner for their speaker
at the ^lansion House. Mrs. Wentworth prepared a special table
and dinner for them in her very best style. But when they were
ushered into the dining room, the Democrat refused to sit at the
same table with AVilson, — a specimen of merely political prejudice
which seems hardly possible here at the present time.

" Parson Haven " said that he once laughed in meeting. Paul
Libbey was a tall, straight man who wore a flannel cap to keep
his bald head warm. Levi Dearborn, who was also bald-headed,
wore a wig. They were both singers and sat near together. One
Sabbath as they were standing singing, Libbey's cap fell off. Im-
mediately Dearborn threw off his wig that he might not look
difterent from his old companion. The sight was so amusing
that even the minister could not refrain from laughing.

In his last sickness the family asked Mr. Haven if he had any
wishes about the arrangements for his funeral. His answer was: —
" You attend to it. I shall be there, but you will not see me."

Josiah Main, grandson of the first minister, was something of
" a character " in his day. He was noted for ready wit and skill
in aro-ument. Manv characteristic anecdotes still survive. One
day he was at work for his neighbor. Squire Baker, and sat next
him at the dinner table. After asking the blessing, which was
very long, the Squire sought to clear his throat as usual with a
mug of cider which always stood by his plate. Somewhat sur-
prised to find it empty, he turned sharply and said, " 'Siah, did
you drink that cider?" "I did. Squire," "was the answer, "we
are tauo-ht to watch as well as prav."

568 ROCHESTER.

He was familiar with tlie Scriptures and gifted in the use of
language. So one day when a company happened to be gathered
at Kurd's store near the common, among whom were Main and
Elder Runnals, a bet was made of two quarts of rum, which could
pray the best, the Elder or "Siah Main. They had already " im-
bibed" rather freely, or the Elder would not have assented to
such a sacrilegious test. It fell to the Elder to begin, and he
prayed so earnestly that the neighbors and others gathered in
considerable numbers before he had finished. Then Josiah began
and prayed with so much apparent fervor and effective eloquence
that he easily won the bet. " I don't understand how you did it,"
said the Elder. " Why, I began where you left off", and put in
what you left out, and that 's how I did it,"' replied Josiah. And
then they all took a drink.

He lived on Haven hill near the graveyard, and when seeking
his second wife, told her his home was in the thickest settled
part of the town. AYhen she arrived at the little cottage standing
alone, she inquired in much surprise, "Where are the people?"
" There they are," said her husband, pointing to the cemetery,
" but they are very quiet folks, and won't disturb you." Xot long
after he told her that their residence would be a good place for
a shoemaker. " Why so ?" asked his wife. " Because when the
people come forth at the resurrection, they will all be barefooted,"
was his sober reply.

Soon after Mr. Upham was settled as pastor, he called on his
father's old friend, and said, "I don't see you at church, as I
should like to."' " ISTo," said Siah, "the fact is I have no suitable
clothes to appear in there, but I make use of my Bible all the
same." " Yes," spoke up his wife, " he uses it to hone his razor
Sunday mornings." " Parson," said Josiah, " do you know why
a woman doesn't grow a beard?" " 'No," said Mr. Upham. " Be-
cause," was the reply, " she can't hold her tongue still long enough
to get shaved."

William jST. Hastings, mentioned on page 12, distinguished for
his success in microscopy, is about to publish a pamphlet, " Des-
mids of IsTew Hampshire," to contain a list of all desmids observed
by him, with full descriptions and ilkistrative plates of all new
ones. Only about one hundred varieties are known in the United
States, of which Mr. Hastings has discovered sixteen, a larger
number than any other person. He has kindly furnished the
following list, with the date when the diagnosis of each was pub-
lished in the "Anti-Monopolist and Record" : —

older record.

On page 22 the name of John Wentworth was omitted by
mistake. The date of Mrs. Hodgdon's death is evidently as given
on page 30, as May 1, 1748 was the Sabbath. Jonathan Hodg-
don married again, and had in all twenty-one children.

The first Sunday school in Rochester was started about 1819.
It is remembered that it was a year before the first one in Ports-
mouth. Hannah Upham first called a few children together at
the Court House. She was assisted by Ruth Haven, and after-
wards by Eliza March and Arabella Smith. The books used
were the Bible, Watts's Hymns, and the Catechism. At the close
of school they marched two and two to the meeting house where
they had seats in the galler3\ It was designed for poor children

the whole system slowly developed to include all who would meet

being kept through the winter of 1842-43 for the first time. The

The corner stone of the old Wesleyan Chapel was removed July
25, 1867, and the copper plates with the other articles mentioned
were found in a lead box about eight inches square and one and
one half deep, with a cover not soldered on. The documents were
in a moldering state, some of them dropping to pieces on the
slightest touch. The Bible was much worm-eaten, though the Book
of Discipline was in a better condition. The papers could none
of them be replaced.

The corner stone of the new house was laid August 1, 1867.
The ceremonies, after the regular church ritual, were as follows : —

BY REV. SAMUEL NORRIS.

In this glad day of Zion's light,

With nursing queens and praying kings,

While we rejoice in prospects bright,
We think of days of feeble things.

Our fathers served the mighty God,

When few and scattered through the land,

When persecution like a flood

Assailed their cause on every hand.

Some called them '' wolves in sheep's attire"

Invading other shepherds' folds ;
Others, fanatics wild with fire

To stir up strife in God's households.

"These zealous heretics contend

That all the world is harvest field;
Yet we our parish lines defend,

With stubborn hearts refuse to yield."

But onward still they preached the cross,

In hamlet, field, or shady grove;
Counting the world but dung and dross,

To deck with stars their crown above.

A Lewis Bates of robust form.

Dark as a cloud in yonder sky,
With voice above the raging storm.

Cried, "Sinners, O why will ye die?"

A Joseph Peck of mother wit,

Social, but wanting holy fire,
Hence many a scornful foe was hit

By ready shafts of keen satire.

A Bannister of prime good stock,

Eccentric, watchful every day,
Always retired at nine o'clock,

And rose at four to sing and pray.

574 ROCHESTER.

A Damon Young among the best
Of all God's workmen in the field;

'Twas hard to let him go to rest;
His master called ; we had to yield.

The scholar. Ruler, from his youth

Was consecrated to the cross ;
He founded schools, proclaimed God's truth^

And fell a martyr to the cause.

John Brodhead, prince of pioneers,

In those old days of chivalry
Led Zion's hosts for scores of years.

And fell with shouts of victory.

Charles Baker, too, God's nobleman,
Courteous and kind, a genial friend,

Long worked the old itinerant plan,
And gained the conquest in the end.

We must not pass a Horlons name,

Able, precise, and dignified;
He labored long, acquired some fame,

Was much lamented when he died.

Another man of mark has gone, —
His preaching like a rushing flood, —

Far-famed as ''Reformation John,''
And many souls were brought to God.

A son of thunder, Eben Blake,
For fifty toilsome years he stood.

Warning all sinners to forsake

At once their sins and turn to God.

Nor must we fail in this array

To give a Sanborn's honored name ;

This gentleman, with some display,
He lived to God, and died the same.

D. Kilburn, in his manhood's prime
Mighty to preach, much on his knees;

For full two hours he many a time
Assailed John Calvin's dire decrees.

0. Scott, " a burning, shining light,"
A prince in Zion's mighty host;

His services for black and white,
Ages to come will not be lost.

B. Eastman, too, long known and loved.
Was strong for Scripture holiness ;

Endowed with wisdom from above
He lived and died in perfect peace.

J. Perkins long traversed our hills ;

His zeal and pathos made him great,
Our best appointments ably filled,

Was honored much in church and state.

William D. Cass has closed his day ;

A man of God faithful and strong;
Ilis many friends will love to say

That " few have done so well so long."

N. Bigelow and /. B. White

Were trained to learning from their youth;
Soldiers of Christ, to wield their might

To spread the glorious gospel truth.

Tall brother Lord, P. Hunger strong,
Two foremost men in battle strife,

Long lived to lead our hosts along.
And fell in hopes of endless life.

H. Field, F. Dame, and Worthing, too,
Belonged to this select vanguard ;

L. Frost, A. Clark, and Jaques, who
We trust have gained their great reward.

L. Wallace of the old school race.
The preacher and the magistrate,

Long lived to fill an honored place
In doing good in church and state.

L. Bennett, and H. Morey, now

Close up the list of pioneers
Who held the mighty gospel plow

Among our hills in former years.

But valiant laymen in this band,
Quite as effective in their spheres ;

We can't forget the noble stand

Which they maintained so many years.

John Trickey and his godly wife
Did good to souls and bodies too,

Maintained their faith by works through life.
Excelled by none, equaled by few.

We note the Wentworth family,
Tliomas and Richard, pioneers,

They loved salvation full and free.
And went to rest in ripened years.

How /. C. Cole would pray and sing !

His wife and mother swell the strain I
For them to live was Christ their king.

For them to die was endless gain.

576 ROCHESTER,

And last, not least, Charlea Dennett, who,
Sagacious, firm, in manners plain,

A Christian patriot ever true ; —
'Tis hard to fill his place again.

All these have run their mortal race,
Their master called them home to rest ;

O may their sons well fill their place,
And wait their turn to join the blest 1

All other friends of righteousness

Whose honored names have not been given,

Who lived for God, and died in peace, —
We hope to meet them safe in heaven.

The memory of the past is sweet,

The fathers' deeds of love ; —
While we enjoy their fruit so great,

They wear their crowns above.

May we, their daughters and their sons,

Prove worthy of our sires.
And consummate what they begun,

And set the world on fire.

O may this blessed truth abound

Throughout this world forlorn !
And IVIethodism be handed down

To nations yet unborn !

Conclusion.

We leave the living grenadier,

Both clergymen and laymen,
To make report in pei'son here,

With an emphatic Ameji!

Humphrey Hanson, a younger brother of Dominicus, composed
some humorous verses describing the various tricks of the dealers,
and induced one of the well-known drinkers to recite them in
public places about the village. A few of these verses were as
follows : —

" I've a song for your noddles though not very good.
For something is meant though not well understood,
Concerning our merchants so artful are they,
Though they've no rum to sell they'll give it away.

There's C — n, and H — n, and M — h I mean,
Three as clever good fellows as ever were seen.

APPENDIX. 0//

Hut show them your money and tell them you'll pay,
Though they've no rum to sell, they'll give it axoay.

There's honest J — T— I liked to've forgot,

For he with the rest has a hand in the plot,

lUit for love of your health, for the sake of good pay,

Both water and rum he in fact r/u-c.s away.

Now may God bless and prosper these dear, honest men.
Who in buying and selling will make all they can ;
But this must be told them, 'tis well known that they
Are selling their rum while they give it away.

Now as to myself, I've not much to add ;

I was drunk all last week, and now feel quite sad;

And as for ray song, I'll ask for no pay.

But for just half a glass will give it avjay.""

The following sketch written by Charles S. Felker (p. 459)
being received too late for Chapter XR^, is inserted here : —

SAMUEL D E M E R I T T.

Samuel Demeritt, a well-known blacksmith of Rochester and
a highly respected citizen, was born in Madbnry in 1789, and at
the age of tw^enty-two married Miss Alice Locke of Barrington.
They had ten children : — Xancy F. and Lucy C. dying in infancy;
while Sophia L., Emeline L., Samuel, Jr., and Alice L. also
passed beyond in early life ; Elizabeth J. married Samnel S. Sher-
man of Salem, N. Y., where she lived until his death, when she
removed to Dover, N. H. ; Maria B. married Nathan AV. AVilson,
also a citizen of Salem. These two sisters died at Gonic within
eleven days of each other, while on a visit to the old homestead
in 1880. Mary J. lived in Dover, N. H., until her death in 1875.
She was twice married ; the first husband being Oliver P. Burley,
and the second John S. Glass. Deborah A., now Mrs. AVilliam
H. Felker, is the only survivor. She was for a number of years
a successful school teacher in Dover, but since marriage has resided
at the former home of her parents.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Demeritt came of good stock; the former
being a relative of Maj. John Demeritt who assisted General Sul-
livan in the capture of fort William and Mary at Portsmouth ;
and afterwards took the powder which was first concealed under

578 ROCHESTER.

the Durham meeting-house, but later removed by him to his farm
in Madbury for safer keeping, and hauled it in his ox-cart to the
colonial army at Boston, arriving on the day of the battle of Bun-
ker Hill ; while the latter was a lineal descendant of John Locke,
the renowned English philosopher.

Mr. Demeritt came to the town in 1815, and established his
business on Main street, just below the Knight house. He was
a master in his trade and besides running two forges, often worked
when the town was otherwise hushed in sleep. His great skill
in working steel extended to other towns, and brought him a large
amount of that kind of work. In public affairs he early mani-
fested a deep interest, and became associated with that class of
citizens who were known as the solid men of the town, because
of their quiet unassuming ways and strong determination to act
from conviction.

When he removed to Gonic in 1827, the place was in a very
crude condition. There was no church, no business of any con-
sequence except farming, and no more society than the country
districts of the present atford. Here he resumed his trade in the
brick shop which to-day forms part of a dwelling-house on Main
street, and found abundance of work awaiting him. Soon after
settling in his new home, he began to deal in real estate in con-
nection with his trade, and owned a large farm on the western
side of the village. On this farm is located the mineral spring
which was a favorite drinking place of the Indians, while the large
rock close by served as their lookout. Tradition says that a party
of braves were once surprised here while drinking, and the one
stationed on the lookout killed, his body being buried at the foot
of the rock. Many now follow the example of the red men and
resort to this spring in the hot days of summer, while some have
been benefited by its medicinal properties.

He freely gave his time and energy for the improvement of
the village, serving as a member of the committee that erected
the first church in 1840, which was dedicated in the Freewill
Baptist faith, and to this church he and his good wife assumed
allegiance. They were liberal in its support, and entertained a
large number of those who visited the parish. In fact so many
ministers stopped with them that their house soon became the
favorite resort of the clergymen.

APPENDIX. 579

Mrs. Demeritt possessed a strong and sympathetic nature, wliile
her kind and generous spirit often cheered the unfortunate on
their way. Such a woman coiikl not be other than a frequent
visitor to the sick chamber, where she was greatly valued. She
was one of those women who took great delight in ancient things,
and among the many family relics cherished by her descendants
is a silk dress which is of historical interest. This dress was
imported from China about two hundred years ago, and is a pure
yellow (the Chinese favorite color). It is compactly woven and
twice as thick as modern silks. The style is ancient, with sliort
waist, long sleeves, and wide collar, and any one wearing it would
probably have no trouble in attracting attention. Although made
nearly two centuries ago it is well preserved, especially the color,
which has never been changed from the original. This ancient
fabric is now in the possession of Mrs, William H. Felker, who
very appropriately wore it,^ in the centennial year, at the golden
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Downing Varney, where she impersonated
Ladv Washington.

" Uncle Demeritt," as he was called in the later years of his
life, served in the war of 1812, going to the defence of Ports-
mouth. In politics he was a Jacksonian Democrat, but a life-
long opponent of slavery, and it is related that a fugitive from
Kentucky bondage once rejoiced to find food and shelter at his
home. He was very conscientious in judgment, and was often
called upon to act as referee. The following incident will illus-
trate the great respect entertained for his integrity. A citizen
of Barrington once presented a bill against him to Hon. J. H.
Woodman for suit. 'Squire Woodman refused with the laconic
reply: — "He is an honest man." The suit was afterwards en-
tered, however, but during the whole session of court the man
failed to appear, and the judge" discharged the defendant in a
complimentary manner.

Samuel Demeritt died June 30, 1856, aged 66 years, and the
death of Mrs. Demeritt occurred April 19, 1866, at the age of 79.

580 ROCHESTER.

The following lines written by J. S. Ckitler (p. 288) were printed
in the " Rochester Leader " of June 20, 1888.

Where wild Coclieco dashes free,

Through countless windings on its way

To give its waters to the sea,

And birds make glad the summer day, —

Through shady woods, on plodding nag,
Rode Parson Main, — long years ago, —

The Bible in his saddle-bag.
And loaded gun for dusky foe.

A man of peace, he still believed

'Twas well to tight at duty's call ;
Allowing much could be achieved

By pushing praj'er with musket ball.

His was a rigid iron creed.

But well he knew the right from wrong;

And hard he toiled with word and deed
To help the cause of right along.

With earnest face and stirring blood,

In time of drouth he prayed for rain ;
And when the heavens threatened flood,

He prayed to make it dry again.

He stirred the brothers' lagging zeal,

Backsliders knew his constant care ;
Denunciation sharp as steel.

He gave the scoffer for his share.

And thus he toiled the seasons through,
'Mid summer's heat and winter's frost ;

Encouraging believers true,

And warning those he counted lost.

Wherever sorrow raised its cry.

His heart responded to the call;
A healing fountain never dry.

His kindness flowed alike to all.

And hard he strove in devious ways,

(_)ld Satan's crafty powers to foil ;
And this we know, — through all his days

The world was better for his toil.

Far from the truth these years have brought
He stood, — the subject of these rhymes ;

But in the days in which he wrought.
His was the spirit for the times.

Though rough and ru;;ged were his ways,
Such lives the firm foundation laid.

APPENDIX. 581

On which to-day the world may raise
The fairest structure Faith has made.

And if his creed was iron-bound,
And somewhat destitute of light,

In that great realm his soul has found.
Long since God's love has set him right.

And so he lived and toiled and died,
But where he resteth none can tell ; *

Good deeds he scattered far and wide.
But no man knoweth where he fell.

Somewhere amid New Hampshire's hills.
Where bright Cocheco's laughing wave

The vale with murmuring music fills,
The grass grows green upon his grave.

Somewhere amid the opening flowers
On lowly vale, or hill's green crest.

To-day through springtime's sunny hours,
The birds are singing o'er his rest.

So let him lie — it matters not —
The spot in which his ashes rest;

Such lives can never be forgot.

And — well — God knoweth what is best.

CHARLES GREEKS" WARREN.

BY CHARLES FRANK LIVINGSTON.

One afternoon in IsTovember, 1852, when I was foreman in the
Manchester " American " office, then owned bj Abbott, Jenks &••
Co., a small freckled-faced boy walked into the counting-room
and said to Mr. Jenks that he had come from Rochester to take
the place his sister had engaged for him to learn the printing
business. Mr. Jenks put his hand on his head, and with one of
the prettiest of his pretty smiles replied, " I am afraid that you
are yet too small, my little man, to do much in a printing-office."
That night when the "little man" w^ent to his dreams, he had
the satisfaction of knowing that he was big enough to have
earned twenty-five cents at over-work as roller-boy the first
evening. This incident illustrates the make-up of the subject of
this sketch. When any work was in hand he could be relied
on to help "pull through," whether it was for an hour or for
all night. He had come to " learn," and invariably shared the
early and late office hours of those days with his more experienced
associates. By quickly mastering all office details he pushed
rapidly to the front, making himself indispensable, and Mr. Jenks
soon learned that in this case at least size was no test of capa-
bility. In less than three years, September 10, 1855, he became
a partner in the business, Henry A. Gage retiring. ]^ot long
afterwards Mr. Jenks also retired, and the firm became Abbott
& Warren. In the early part of 1857 the establishment was sold
to Simeon D. Farnsw^orth.

Soon after retiring from the " American," Mr. Warren left
Manchester for Sioux City, Iowa, then in its infimcy. Its people,
largely from ITew Hampshire, had oftered a liberal bonus to
whoever would start a newspaper there, and Mr. Warren went
thither to secure it. He was joined at Dubuque by his former
partner, General Abbott, and with several others journeyed in
the month of April across the State of low^a in a " farmers'
wagon " which had been driven from Indiana by one Phil. Clark,
an intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln in his early life. This

APPENDIX. 623

trip occupied ten daj's, and Mr. Warren found himself too late
to secure the prize he had traveled so far to obtain. A printer
from the office of the Cincinnati " Gazette " had preceded him
by several weeks, and was nearly ready to add to journalism the
'"Sioux City Eagle." After getting the business well started, he
arranged with Mr. "Warren to run the establishment a few weeks,
that he might return and settle up his affairs in Cincinnati. The
paper prospered so well in his hands that the owner prolonged
his absence till the spring of 1858. Upon his return, Mr. War-
ren's friends proposed to buy the " Eagle '"' establishment and
make him a present of it. But the owner refused to sell, and
Mr. Warren returned to Manchester.

Xot long after, he received a flattering letter from the mayor
of Sioux City proposing that if he would join a party about to
establish the town of Yankton in Dakota, and start a paper there,
they would bear all expenses, and closing with the urgent words,
" Come ! Come ! Come ! " But the boy (for he was yet a minor)
had already fully satisfied his ambition in the direction of pioneer
life, and declined the ofier.

In October, 1858, he went to Andover, Mass., where for nearly
eight years he was connected with the widely-known Andover
house, one of the oldest book-printing establishments in the
country. For six years he managed the printing department and
edited the " Andover Advertiser." His health failing, in the
spring of 1866 he removed to Burlington, Iowa. The climate
proving salutar}', he entered upon mercantile life in company
w^ith Parsons and Berry, wholesale dealers in stoves and tinners'
stock. Coming East twice a year to purchase goods he became
favorably known among tin-plate importers, and in 1873 was
induced to become the agent of Richards & Co. of Boston, and
represented them in the larger western cities for several years.

Among the tin-plate importers and metal dealers of the country
only two command the highest rating on the agency books : —
Phelps, Dodge & Co. of Xew York, the largest house in the
world in this line of trade, and Fuller, Dana & Fitz of Boston.
After declining an unsolicited offer from the former, on account
of the field of labor contemplated, Mr. Warren accepted a posi-
tion with the latter house August, 1876, and continues to represent
them in the West, with headquarters at Chicago. In 1882 he

624 ROCHESTER.

visited Europe in the interest of his house, and again in 1885.
He commands the largest business ever done in the West by a
Boston metal house. Like many other sons of Rochester, in
various fields of labor, he is doing credit to himself and his
native town.

Charles Green Warren is the son of Joseph and Olive Bick-
ford (Murd) Warren of Rochester, where he was born September
24, 1837. June 11, 1860, he married Harriet Elizabeth, daughter
of Francis and Eliza Marden of Manchester. Their children
are Charles Lincoln, Harriet Alice, Abbie Gertrude, and Clara
Clarinda.
