FOREWORD 
 
 At the annual Town Meeting held on March 8, 1904, the 
 following resolutions were passed: 
 
 "Resolved, that the present Town History be reproduced and 
 printed in a new volume, and that a history of the town from 1852 
 to the present time be added in such a manner as the Historian may 
 think best." 
 
 "Resolved, that the town be surveyed for the purpose of producing 
 a new map of the town, to be used in connection with the Town 
 History, and for the State, if required, and that the sum of $500 
 be raised and appropriated for this purpose." 
 
 "Resolved, that the Selectmen be instructed to secure the services 
 of Rev. J. L. Seward, D.D., as Historian." 
 
 "Resolved, that the town choose a Committee of Five to assist the 
 Historian and to have charge of the compiling and publishing of 
 the Town History and Map, and at the next annual meeting to report 
 their progress, together with recommendations for a necessary sum 
 of money to be raised and appropriated for these purposes." 
 
 " Voted, that the Selectmen be a committee to appoint, or recom- 
 mend a Town History Committee, and report to the meeting after 
 the noon hour." 
 
 The Selectmen recommended the following persons to con- 
 stitute a Town History Committee, who were accepted by the 
 meeting: Milton D. Mason, Henry D. Learned, Warren L. 
 Fiske, Henry D. Allison, Charles F. Appleton. Mr. Fiske 
 died on September 2, 1918, aged ninety-two years, at that time 
 the oldest life-long resident of Dublin. Samuel Wadsworth of 
 Keene, whose reputation for accuracy in his work is seldom 
 excelled, was engaged to make the survey and drawings for the 
 Map, which was published in 1906. 
 
 At a later meeting it was voted "that whenever the new 
 Town Map, or Town History shall have been published, that 
 they be placed in the hands of the Town Clerk who shall receipt 
 for the same, and place them on sale." 
 
 Dr. Seward died during the summer of 1917, having finished 
 the eighteen chapters of the History, and to that date the 
 records are completed, the article on the last War excepted. 
 Dr. Seward had finished a considerable portion of the Gene-

 alogies the remainder of this work being carefully and 
 thoroughly accomplished by Mrs. Florence C. Howes, of the 
 New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston. 
 
 Dublin is probably the first town in the country to include 
 in its published town history, a record of its participation 
 in the World War. This addition may seem a compensation 
 to those who have waited so long for the completion of the 
 volume. 
 
 The Committee is grateful to two of Dublin's sons, Prof. 
 S, C. Derby, for his admirable sketch of Dr. Seward; and 
 Dr. Henry H. Piper, for the equally valuable Preface to the 
 new edition. The records and portraits of Civil War veterans 
 were obtained through the persistent efforts of Henry D. 
 Learned. The landscape photographs are by Henry D. 
 Allison, and the engravings by the Scientific Engraving Com- 
 pany, New York. The book is printed by the University 
 Press, Cambridge, Mass., the same firm, then John Wilson 
 and Son, which produced the first "History of Dublin," sixty- 
 four years ago.

PREFACE 
 
 1 T has become quite common at the present day, especially in 
 New England, to publish histories of towns. The practice is 
 a good one. The traditions of past events are always fading 
 from the memories of successive generations; and, unless they 
 are written and printed, many of them will be lost beyond re- 
 covery. It happens already that the existing inhabitants of 
 towns, the histories of which have not been published, are but 
 slightly acquainted with the events that moved the hearts, 
 and aroused the energies, of their progenitors. This has been 
 made very evident in our case by many unsuccessful attempts 
 to obtain information in reference to the early history of 
 Dublin. Passing events have so absorbed interest and atten- 
 tion, that the transactions of former times — transactions, 
 too, which have made or marred their own fortunes — have 
 received little or no consideration. The aged, it is true, are apt 
 to dwell upon the past; while the young look intently to the 
 future, speculating more upon what will be than upon what 
 has been. But the history of the past, even in a small town, 
 contains lessons from which those who now live, even the 
 young, may learn wisdom for the future. Many instructors of 
 youth have urged the importance of beginning the study of 
 geography with that of their own town. If they are right, then 
 the same may be urged, to some extent, with regard to history, 
 which, if thus begun, cannot fail to have in the minds of the 
 young a more living reality. 
 
 To some persons it may seem a work of little labor to pre- 
 pare a history of a small, retired country town, whose ex- 
 istence dates back only one hundred years. To others it may 
 seem to be a labor not worth the pains. The Committee of 
 Publication are experimentally certain that what they have 
 done with regard to the preparation of the "History of Dublin" 
 has cost them no small amount of labor. Of what value the 
 result of their labor may prove to be must be left to the judg- 
 ments of those who read the book. These judgments will be 
 various. Some persons will not find in it what they looked for, 
 and others will find what they did not look for. Both may feel 
 disappointment, and perchance find fault. To the native- 
 
viii PREFACE 
 
 born citizens of Dublin, whether resident or emigrant, we trust 
 the book will not be wholly without interest. 
 
 It was not the design of the Publishing Committee at first 
 to make so large a book. The printing of the Address, with 
 the Proceedings of the Centennial Celebration, and some docu- 
 ments alluded to in the Address, was all that was contem- 
 plated. But, on further consideration, they concluded to add 
 other matter, which could not properly be comprehended in 
 an address on a public occasion. Some repetition of facts 
 stated in the Address were introduced, in order to keep up a 
 connection in the matter added, and to avoid too frequent 
 reference. Although a large portion of the additions are rather 
 materials for a history than a history itself, yet, in connection 
 with the Address and the Proceedings of the Centennial Cele- 
 bration, we trust the book will be found to contain a tolerably 
 complete history of the town from its first settlement to the 
 present time. 
 
 The Registers of Families occupy more space than was at 
 first apprehended. In order to make them uniform, it was 
 found necessary to recopy the whole number furnished. Many 
 of them, however, were gathered from the recollections of in- 
 dividuals, and from the scanty and imperfect records of the 
 town-clerks who held the office previous to 1820. As these 
 Registers are principally made up of names and dates, no one 
 should be surprised if numerous errors are discovered. Fre- 
 quently, the Registers handed to the Committee differed as 
 to dates from the town-records. It was not in our power, in 
 most instances of this kind, to determine which were correct. 
 Sometimes one Register was found to be inconsistent with an- 
 other, which gave dates respecting the same person. In such 
 cases, we occasionally discovered, as we believed, the true 
 date; and this will account for the variations from the original 
 copies, which the persons who furnished them may perhaps 
 regard as errors. Of the soldiers of the Revolution, we have 
 inserted nearly in full all the notices that were received. The 
 living residents of Dublin are left to the future historian. The 
 names of those who have held offices in town will be found 
 under their appropriate heads in the course of the history. 
 If the Register of any family is omitted, it is because none was 
 received, or could be gathered from any accessible sources of 
 information. 
 
 To the persons who have aided us in collecting materials 
 for this book, we tender our thanks. We offer it to the town. 
 
PREFACE ix 
 
 which has taken the responsibihty of its pubhcation, as the 
 best we could prepare during the time we were employed upon 
 it. Taking all circumstances into consideration, we do not feel 
 that there has been any needless delay. A copy of the Address 
 was not received till nearly a year after its delivery. Sickness 
 in the family of the Chairman of the Committee, and his 
 residence, most of the time, during the last year and a half, in 
 another town, have also contributed to hinder the progress of 
 the work. The map which we prefix to the book is believed to 
 be as correct as could be made without an accurate and ex- 
 pensive survey by measurement of the whole town. Many 
 parts of it were drawn from actual measurement; and its 
 errors, if any shall be discovered, will be found to be less 
 numerous, we think, than in most other town-maps. 
 
 The portraits, with the exceptions hereafter mentioned, 
 were furnished by the persons whom they represent, or by 
 their friends. The plates for the portraits of Samuel Appleton 
 and Dr. Twitchell were kindly furnished, for the taking of im- 
 pressions from them; the first by Mrs. Appleton, and the 
 second by Dr. G. W. Twitchell. The plate for the portrait of 
 L. W. Leonard was the same that was procured by his friends 
 in 1850. The portrait of Mr. Sprague was lithographed from 
 the original painting by Belknap. 
 
 Mr. Lawson Belknap, a member of the Committee of Pub- 
 hcation, died October 3, 1853. He was active and earnest in his 
 efforts to collect information respecting the history of Dublin^ 
 his native town. Had he lived, he would have afforded us 
 much aid in preparing the Registers of Families, which were 
 not begun to be collected till after his death. 
 
 The Chairman of the Committee of Publication may here 
 be permitted to say, that he is not responsible for the insertion 
 of the laudatory remarks respecting himself, contained in 
 some of the addresses made at the Centennial Celebration. 
 Oyer this portion of the book he had no control. He could not, 
 with propriety, either erase or modify what the gentlemen 
 thought fit to offer for publication. 
 
 The names on the list of emigrants from Dublin, collected 
 and arranged by Mr. Fiske, a member of the Committee of 
 Publication, have been added in the belief that to many per- 
 sons it will be gratifying to have old friends and fellow-towns- 
 men thus brought to their recollection. Though some of them 
 removed from town before most of the persons now living 
 here were born, we cannot think that their names will be read 
 
X PREFACE 
 
 with entire indifference; for they once had their home here, 
 and many of them strove with their fellow-townsmen to pro- 
 mote the common welfare. A large portion of them are no 
 longer alive; but their children, in many instances, survive, 
 and have doubtless heard from the lips of their parents some 
 account of their temporary sojourn in Dublin. Though they 
 never saw our hills and valleys, nor the faces of those who now 
 dwell here, yet they cannot but feel some interest in the town 
 from which their fathers and mothers emigrated. The list is 
 a long one; and it shows that, though the town has not in- 
 creased in population of late years, yet Dublin has furnished 
 a large number of persons for the settlement of new states, 
 and for the cities and manufacturing villages of New England. 
 With regard to the spelling of names, there will not be found 
 a uniformity in all parts of the book. The records and papers 
 used as sources of information exhibited no little variety in 
 this respect. The same name was, in many cases, variously 
 spelled; and our copy was often conformed to the original 
 documents.

PREFACE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 REPRINTED AND AUGMENTED EDITION, 1919 
 
 It is a happy circumstance that the revised and augmented 
 history of the town should be pubHshed a few years after the 
 hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the town's settlement, 
 which event rather tardily it may be said to celebrate, and 
 from which without doubt the suggestion of a new history 
 arose; happy for the historian when not a few individuals are 
 still living who can recall all the important events which have 
 taken place in the town since the publication of the earlier 
 history in 1855. 
 
 It can scarcely be urged that the frequent writing of local 
 history is unnecessary for the reason that official records and 
 statistics are wider in their range than formerly and as a rule 
 more accurate, that they are not subject to decline and death 
 like the human beings to whom they usually have reference; 
 for even the best of these records lose much of their significance 
 with the passing years, the personal quality gradually fades 
 out of them and interesting and intelligent comment upon them 
 becomes more and more perplexing. Nor is it a valid objection 
 to the frequent writing of orderly history that it is more difiicult 
 to preserve a right proportion and maintain a balanced judg- 
 ment when facts are to be presented and events described 
 which are near at hand; this is indeed difficult, or well-nigh 
 impossible, and a true perspective may not be secured ; but the 
 disadvantage is more than outweighed in obtaining impressions 
 of eyewitnesses and by greater fullness and freshness in the 
 presentation of periods lying thirty, forty and fifty years in 
 the past, which if left for eighty or a hundred years would be- 
 come in no small degree dim and irrecoverable. And yet again 
 in a town like Dublin where fire protection is to an extent 
 inadequate there is the danger that valuable records and 
 documents will be destroyed, a mischance which would be 
 prevented if this material were published in book form and 
 distributed. 
 
xii PREFACE TO THE AUGMENTED EDITION, 1919 
 
 On turning the pages of this augmented history one is likely 
 to receive the impression that the later chapters are, in their 
 way, as interesting as the earlier, despite the fact that a certain 
 indefinable charm will associate itself with things remote. In 
 the earlier period are the settlement of the town, the Revolu- 
 tionary War, the increasing prosperity, the picturesque per- 
 sonality of Rev. Edward Sprague, the town's early benefactor, 
 the advance in education and the awakening of interest in 
 all matters intellectual under the inspiring leadership of Dr. 
 Leonard at a time when population and property values were 
 slowly declining, the celebration of the hundredth anniversary 
 of the settlement of the town and lastly the publication of a 
 hundred years of history. In the later and shorter period we 
 find the Civil War, the division of the town, the influx of 
 summer boarders, the building of summer residences, the 
 return of material prosperity, a more general diffusion of the 
 so-called comforts and luxuries of life, an abandonment of 
 the soil as a main source of livelihood, the war in Europe and 
 the publication of a revised history. It might be interest- 
 ing to enter into a comparison of these two periods, but the 
 brevity of a preface forbids. 
 
 Any one who reads the later record will scarcely fail to be 
 impressed by the fidelity with which the various lines of 
 interest, ecclesiastical, educational, political, military, social 
 and genealogical, have been brought down to the present time. 
 In one of the chapters there has been a material amplification 
 of older matter in the list of soldiers of the Revolution. Several 
 chapters or parts of chapters are of a character somewhat 
 unusual and seem to call for a brief special mention. One of 
 these is an account of war activities in Dublin during the past 
 two years. The story is mainly told in reports of concerted 
 action, meetings, celebrations and the like, and a clear impres- 
 sion is given of the feeling in the town during the great conflict. 
 An outline of the relation between camouflage and concealing 
 coloration is fittingly inserted. Another feature, and one 
 unique, is a list of the birds of the region. The topography of 
 Dublin with its low-lying meadows and its mountain ridges 
 presents possibilities for bird life and the opportunity for 
 studying it probably unmatched in an extensive region with 
 Monadnock as a center. The history is fortunate in the 
 possession of a list at once so accurate and so interesting. 
 
 The later history would be incomplete without an account 
 of Dublin as a summer resort, traced from the far beginnings 
 
PREFACE TO THE AUGMENTED EDITION, 1919 xiii 
 
 now two generations in the past; and this account it has, 
 prepared with a minuteness of detail which a few years hence 
 would be difficult or impossible. The value of this chapter 
 will become evident to every reader. The list of cemetery 
 inscriptions is, first of all, a laudable effort of the historian to 
 defy the gnawing tooth of time. Wind and rain, snow and 
 sleet, seem to have little effect on marble and slate when one 
 reckons by decades or even by generations, but in the slow 
 moving centuries the elements prevail. The hour will at 
 length be reached when name and date will have become a 
 blur, or the stone will fall and be forgotten, but the record 
 on the printed page will endure, of many a humble man or 
 woman the only existing record. If it should be urged that it 
 is not important that memorials should last so long, there 
 yet remains the satisfaction that the historian has won his 
 point. 
 
 The later developments in the life of a New England town 
 as set forth in chapters of so varied interest are not likely to 
 be judged lacking in significance. Nor can it be possible after 
 so many generations of changing conditions that the end has 
 now been reached and that little material will be hereafter 
 available to engage the attention of the historian. In these 
 smaller New England towns, these nurseries of democracy, 
 life in an organized form is found at the fountain head, and the 
 unfolding of this life will go on unceasingly. What the next 
 important change will be one can only surmise. There may be 
 a return of interest in the soil, so enthralling a motive with the 
 earlier generations; not perhaps in the cultivation mainly of 
 corn and wheat or in the raising of cattle, but, under more 
 favorable state laws, in the production of timber by scientific 
 methods for which nearly all the land within the limits of 
 the town, at present regarded with so listless an eye for pro- 
 ductive purposes, is admirably adapted. 
 
 But it is not with the future that we are now definitely 
 concerned but the past, in the ability of vanished lives to 
 weave their spell about us, in the power of events and happen- 
 ings long since outlived to teach, to admonish, to fascinate 
 and to inspire. Happy the man who in reading the records of 
 the past finds it once more a living thing; — men and women 
 moving toward their ideals with an undiminished high desire, 
 entering on the daily round of duties with the old-time joy 
 in work well done, touched with the beauty of earth and sky, 
 wearied and perplexed by the annoyances of life and sobered

 by the shadows which haunt all earthly things. To such a 
 reader the following pages are commended. 
 
 The reprinting of the first history will bring vividly to the 
 minds of the oldest readers the editor, and in the main the 
 author, Dr. Leonard. Seldom has a man been more completely 
 identified with the interests of his adopted town than was 
 Dr. Leonard with Dublin through nearly all his working years. 
 Seldom have the spirit, the purpose and the ideals of a man 
 so situated entered a larger number of lives and been more 
 widely diffused. A sketch of the later editor. Dr. Seward, has 
 fittingly been prepared for this volume and there is little need 
 that anything be added to it. If in any sort he could appre- 
 hend our thoughts and feelings he would be gratified that we 
 gratefully remember him and hold his name in association 
 with that of Dr. Leonard. To the Publication Committee and 
 their helpers, and all those who have contributed in any way 
 to bring this history to a successful conclusion, the gratitude 
 of readers will go forth.

Reverend J. L. Seward, D.D. 
 
 J osiAH Lafayette Seward, the principal editor of the re- 
 vised "History of DubHn," was born in Sullivan, N. H., April 
 17, 1845, and died in Keene, N. H., July 14, 1917. He never 
 married. 
 
 His parents were David and Arvilla (Mathews) Seward, of 
 English stock and worthy members of the sturdy yeomanry 
 of New England. The emigrant ancestor, Thomas Seward, 
 came to Pepperell, Mass., about twenty years before .the 
 American Revolution. In the paternal line. Dr. Seward was 
 a lineal descendant of Thomas Morse, the first permanent 
 English settler of Dublin, N. H. His boyhood was spent upon 
 the ancestral farm. He early won in the local district school a 
 reputation for scholarship which was well maintained for two 
 years in the Westmoreland Valley Seminary and later at 
 Phillips Academy, Exeter, which he attended 1861-64. For 
 this famous school he retained a lifelong affection and seldom 
 neglected to recommend it to ambitious young men of good 
 promise. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1868, 
 with the degree of A.B. In school and college he was known 
 as an earnest and capable student. At Harvard, in his sopho- 
 more year, he received a Detur (a prize for good scholarship) 
 and was assigned a Thesis, "Thomas-a-Becket," at commence- 
 ment. Between his graduation and 1871, when he took the 
 degree of A.M., and entered the Harvard Divinity School, 
 Dr. Seward taught a year in Frankford, West Virginia, a year 
 in Boston, and, 1870-71, was the first principal of the Conant 
 Free School in Jaffrey, N. H. 
 
 In education he always retained a warm interest and gave 
 private instruction to many pupils preparing for college. An 
 excellent linguist, a good botanist and mineralogist, he never 
 hesitated to uphold the value of classical and mathematical 
 studies in secondary and higher education. 
 
 At the end of the usual three years' course in the Harvard 
 Divinity School he received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity 
 and was settled over the Unitarian Church in Lowell, Massa- 
 chusetts, and ordained there, December 31, 1874. His pas- 
 torate at Lowell ceased, July 31, 1888. He was next the pastor 
 
xvi REVEREND J. L. SEWARD, D.D. 
 
 of the Unitarian Church at Waterville, Maine, from August 1, 
 1888, to November 25, 1893. From November 26, 1893, until 
 October 8, 1899, he was pastor of Unity Church, Allston, 
 Massachusetts. In 1898 Colby College gave him the honorary 
 degree of D.D. In the autumn of 1899 Dr. Seward removed 
 to Keene, N. H., and resided there until his death. 
 
 In May, 1902, Dr. Seward became the pastor (the eleventh) 
 of the First Congregational Church in Dublin, N. H. This 
 pleasant relationship lasted until his death, and was made 
 more intimate by ties of blood and previous acquaintance with 
 many citizens of that town. 
 
 A Mason of high rank, having received the thirty-third 
 degree. Dr. Seward held many offices in that body, master of 
 his lodge, master of his council, and for twenty-five years was 
 grand prior (chaplain) of the Supreme Council of the Thirty- 
 Third Degree for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the 
 United States. He was a frequent and copious writer upon 
 Masonry. 
 
 As a member of the Sons of the American Revolution he 
 felt a justifiable pride that he could count among his ancestors 
 five soldiers who served in that heroic struggle. He was an in- 
 terested and active member of the New Hampshire Historical 
 Society, and many other associations consecrated to worthy 
 ends, literary, charitable, and religious. 
 
 During the later years of his life. Dr. Seward devoted much 
 of his time and strength to the preparation of the "History 
 of Sullivan," his birthplace, and to the revision of the "His- 
 tory of Dublin." For both tasks he had certain obvious quali- 
 fications, a facile pen, a knowledge of the civic, ecclesiastical, 
 and business life of these communities, and a remarkable famil- 
 iarity with the family history of their early and later resi- 
 dents. Of Dr. Seward's numerous publications, these two 
 Histories are the most elaborate and will, without doubt, 
 be the most permanent. 
 
 Dr. Seward's acquaintance with members of various or- 
 ganizations, unusual knowledge of local history, especially 
 that of southwestern New Hampshire, and his sincere desire 
 to aid worthy causes, brought to him numerous invitations to 
 deliver addresses at public gatherings and included a large 
 variety of subjects. 
 
 On such occasions he was invariably instructive and inter- 
 esting. There can be little doubt that he well understood that 
 the labor of preparation and the fatigue involved in travel

 and in the delivery of these papers made serious inroads upon 
 his time and diminishing strength, but his real interest in the 
 movements and causes thus commended to the attention of 
 the public, made refusal difficult. 
 
 Amid these services which added not a little to the social 
 life of a considerable territory, but were to him largely a source 
 of recreation, in comparison with his constant pastoral duties 
 and the persistent labor of historical work. Dr. Seward spent 
 his later years. His efforts in these various fields were helpful 
 to many who were attracted by his kindly social temper, his 
 many-sided activity, ample store of information and real in- 
 terest in good things. 
 
 His friends, and they were many — were thankful that he 
 retained to the end his mental powers, his lifelong devotion to 
 the "things that endure," that he died in harness and went 
 unafraid into the great silence.

HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 CHAPTER I 
 
 Address of Charles Masox, Esq., of Fitchburg, Mass., 
 a native of Dublin, at the Centennial Celebration, 
 June 17, 1852 
 
 VV HETHER a particular settlement were made within jthe 
 limits of this town or of that, or when made, or by whom, are 
 questions which, in themselves, may be of little moment. But 
 from our habits of viewing things, and from the relation in 
 which we stand to them, matters of this kind sometimes assume 
 a grave significance, and become invested with a peculiar in- 
 terest. We are accustomed, for some purposes, to consider a 
 given portion of territory, or period of time, as detached from 
 the rest, and possessed in itself of the attributes of unity and 
 completeness. Thus, we are used to look upon our native town 
 as a separate domain, having a history of its own, constituting 
 a distinct chapter, — a chapter, too, of deep and absorbing 
 interest to us, however obscure and unimportant the place it 
 may hold in the annals of the world at large. In the same way, 
 we attach a like idea to a specified measure of duration, — to 
 a year or a century; which, when we have once fixed the be- 
 ginning and the end, wears a seeming of eternity, — becomes 
 something that we can contemplate as one, as though it were 
 a piece clipped from the web of time, and submitted, as an iso- 
 lated, tangible reality, to our deliberate inspection. 
 
 We are assembled to-day upon the Hundredth Anniversary 
 of the settlement of this town. We stand upon the confines of 
 two mighty conventional tracts of time, — upon that narrow 
 belt, the living present, which divides the dead, receding past 
 from the new-born, advancing century. We are the remnant, 
 shattered and scanty, of the generations which the first cen- 
 tenary of its inhabited existence has gathered within the 
 borders of our town, — the balance, which, in the final clos- 
 ing up of its own affairs, it now transfers to the account of its 
 successor. 
 
2 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 It is fitting in us to commemorate an event which naturally 
 carries back our thoughts to the time when the history of the 
 town, as the abode of civilized man, takes its date; when the 
 first hardy adventurer dared to brave the toils and hardships 
 and privations of a wilderness life, and the sounds of human 
 labor were, for the first time, heard in the depths of the primeval 
 forest, where before silence reigned, and nature slept, undis- 
 turbed, save by the voice of the thunder, the roar of winds, 
 and the wild beasts' howl. And it well becomes us to trace 
 and contemplate the course of events, as, from that primal 
 day, through the long progress of a hundred years, it has swept 
 adown the stream of time. 
 
 In performing the duty which, by the kindness of the com- 
 mittee, has been assigned to me, I shall endeavor to bring to 
 view such incidents in our local history as seem to be of most 
 interest and importance. There are no extraordinary events 
 to be recounted. Nothing of a very remarkable character has 
 ever taken place in the town. With the exception of a single 
 individual (Dr. Amos Twitchell), who attained to eminence in 
 his profession as a surgeon, it has produced no men particularly 
 distinguished for talents or learning or enterprise, or any other 
 of the qualities or possessions which go to make up vulgar 
 greatness. 
 
 Neither would we regard it as an especial calamity, that we 
 have in our history so little that is allied to fame. It is but the 
 common lot of humanity. As it is of familiar, everyday inci- 
 dents, mainly, that the texture of life is woven; so, of the grand 
 aggregate of human existence, by far the greater, and, in that 
 view, the more important part, is lived and suffered and en- 
 joyed by human mediocrity. 
 
 We claim, then, for ourselves but to be mere common human 
 people; and as such we are here today. We are assembled as 
 townsmen, kindred, friends, for our own proper satisfaction 
 and purposes. Dealing with common, homely materials, I shall 
 pretend to nothing beyond treating them in corresponding 
 style. I shall undertake neither to philosophize upon facts, nor 
 to expatiate upon fancies. 
 
 The tract of land, constituting the town of Dublin, was 
 originally granted, by the proprietors of land purchased of 
 John Tufton Mason, to Matthew Thornton and thirty-nine 
 others named in the grant. These forty grantees resided in 
 different towns, mostly in the middle and eastern parts of New 
 Hampshire. None of them, it is presumed, ever became settlers 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 3 
 
 in the township. The deed of grant, which bears date, No- 
 vember 3, 1749, was given by Col. Joseph Blanchard of Dun- 
 stable, pursuant, as the recital states, to the power vested 
 in him by the proprietors, by a vote passed at a meeting held 
 at Portsmouth, in June preceding. This grant, embracing a 
 territory of thirty-five square miles, — being seven miles in 
 length and five in breadth, — was made upon certain condi- 
 tions, of which the most important were the following: — 
 
 The whole tract of land was to be divided into seventy-one 
 equal shares, each share to contain three lots, equitably coupled 
 together, and to be drawn for, at Dunstable, on or before the 
 first day of July, 1750. 
 
 Three shares were to be appropriated, free of all charge, "one 
 for the first settled minister in the town, one for the support 
 of the ministry, and one for the school there, forever;" and one 
 lot of each of these three shares was to be first laid out, near the 
 middle of the town, in the most convenient place, and lots 
 coupled to them, so as not to be drawn for. 
 
 The lots were to be laid out at the expense of the grantees, 
 and, within four years from the date of the grant, forty of the 
 shares, or rights, as they were called, were to be entered upon, 
 and three acres of land, at the least, cleared, inclosed, and fitted 
 up for mowing or tillage; and, within six months then next, 
 there was to be, on each of these forty settling shares, a house 
 built, the room sixteen feet square, at the least, fitted and 
 furnished for comfortable dwelling, and some person resident in 
 it, and to continue inhabitancy there for three years, with the 
 additional improvement of two acres a year for each settler. 
 
 A good convenient meetinghouse was to be built, as near the 
 centre of the town as might be with convenience, within six 
 years from the date of the grant, and ten acres reserved there for 
 public use. 
 
 All w^hite-pine trees, fit for masting his majesty's royal navy, 
 were granted to him and his heirs and successors forever. 
 
 There was a proviso, that, in case of any Indian war happening 
 within any of the terms and limitations for doing the duty con- 
 ditioned in the grant, the same time should be allowed for the 
 respective matters after such impediment should be removed. 
 
 The township was accordingly divided into lots, making ten 
 ranges running through it from east to west, with twenty-two 
 lots in each range, or two hundred twenty lots in all.^ The lots 
 
 1 The northern three ranges, containing sixty-six lots, were taken for a part of the 
 new town of Harrisville, incorporated, July 2, 1870. — J. L. S. 
 
4 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 varied considerably, especially in length. They were drawn 
 for on the first Tuesday of June, 1750. The seventy-one shares, 
 of three lots each, would, of course, leave seven lots undrawn. 
 Some of these, though not all, were upon the JVIonadnock. 
 
 The terms of settlement and the like, imposed by the grant, 
 cannot have been complied with, to the extent specified, till 
 certainly more than ten years later than the times prescribed. 
 Whether the grantors dispensed with the conditions as to time, 
 on the score of Indian wars apprehended, or for any other cause 
 tacitly waived those conditions, or whether they granted an 
 extension of the times, does not appear. 
 
 Of the first settlement of the town, but little is known with 
 accuracy or certainty. The first settler was William Thornton, 
 who established himself where Mr. Isaac Appleton now lives, ^ 
 probably in the year 1752. His daughter, Molly Thornton, it 
 is said, was the first child born in the township. He remained 
 but a few years, — it is not known how long, — when he 
 abandoned his settlement, it is supposed through fear of the 
 Indians, and never returned. He was a brother of Matthew 
 Thornton, who was the first named, as he was by far the most 
 distinguished, of the proprietors of the township, and was 
 much the largest landowner in it; having, at one time, it would 
 appear, twenty-eight shares, or eighty-four lots. Matthew 
 Thornton was born in Ireland. He was a physician, and settled 
 first at Londonderry, but afterwards resided in Merrimack. 
 He was a colonel of militia, a delegate to the Continental Con- 
 gress, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was 
 also a judge of the Superior Court of New Hampshire, and was, 
 in short, one of the leading men of the state. 
 
 The settlers who next came into the township were Scotch- 
 Irish, as they were called, being the descendants of Scotch 
 people who had settled in the north of Ireland, whence they 
 came to this country, and established themselves at London- 
 derry and elsewhere, and, at a later date, settled in Peter- 
 borough and numerous other towns. As early as 1760, or there- 
 abouts, there were in the town, of this description of persons, 
 John Alexander; William McNee; Alexander Scott and William 
 Scott, his son; James Taggart and his son, William Taggart; 
 and perhaps others. They came mostly from Peterborough. 
 Henry Strongman came at a later day. With the exception of 
 
 ^ The site of Thornton's cabin was lot 1, range VI., No. 2, on the map, and is now 
 marked by a monument. It is south-east of the Appleton (in 1916, the Hannaford) 
 house a little way. — J. L. S. 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 5 
 
 him, none of this class of settlers became permanent inhabit- 
 ants of the township. They left probably at different times, 
 but all prior to the year 1771, as none of them are found upon 
 the tax list of that year. Most or all of them returned to Peter- 
 borough. This William Scott is the same Captain William 
 Scott of Peterborough, who, in his youth, served in the French 
 War, and who signalized himself by gallant achievements dur- 
 ing the War of the Revolution, and by no less heroic deeds in 
 scenes of danger afterwards. He is said to have settled, when 
 in Dublin, on the lot where Mr. John Gleason now lives. ^ 
 
 As early as 1762, several of the settlers from Sherborn, Mass., 
 were in the township, and worked upon the roads. Probably 
 none of them established themselves here that year. During 
 the next two years, several became permanent inhabitants. 
 Among the earliest settlers were Thomas Morse, Levi Par- 
 tridge, William Greenwood, Samuel Twitchell, Joseph 
 Twitchell, Jr., Ivory Perry, Benjamin Mason, Moses Adams, 
 Silas Stone, and Eli Morse. 
 
 Of the first settlers. Captain Thomas Morse appears to have 
 been the leading man. He was doubtless the oldest person in 
 the settlement, being sixty-three or sixty-four years of age 
 when he came to reside here. He was a man of stability and 
 force of character, and, it is said, of remarkable shrewdness. 
 Withal, he was ardently attached to the cause of liberty. He 
 was the first captain of the earliest military company in the 
 town. His commission bore date, June 2, 1774. 
 
 It would seem that a road was opened through the township 
 as early certainly as 1762, as in the record of a meeting of the 
 proprietors, held in November of that year, "the main road 
 through the town" is spoken of; and a committee was, at that 
 same meeting, appointed to lay out from it a road "from near 
 the centre to the south part of the town, and another from the 
 centre to the north-west part of the town, where the settlers 
 are beginning," with authority to "employ proper help to open 
 and clear the same, so that it be feasible travelling." The sum 
 of ten pounds, old tenor, was assessed upon each right (of 
 which there were fifty) in the township, liable to the payment 
 of taxes, to be expended upon the roads. As may well Ibe im- 
 agined, the roads in those times were of the most rude and 
 primitive description; being, in fact, little more than openings 
 cut through the dense, continuous woods, with some slight 
 demonstration towards a partial removal of the rocks, logs,

6 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 and stumps, and levelling of the grosser inequalities of the 
 surface. 
 
 At a meeting of the proprietors, held, Feb. 14, 1764, a com- 
 mittee was chosen "to agree with some person to build a bridge 
 over the Mill Brook (so called), the east side of the town, and 
 also a bridge over the Half-way Brook, by Thomas Morse's, 
 by letting out the same to be done by the great; and, if that 
 cannot be done, to employ suitable persons by the day, and 
 bring in their accounts." 
 
 The two meetings of the proprietors already mentioned were 
 held at Dunstable. In September, 1764, their first meeting in 
 the township was held at the house of William Greenwood.^ 
 Eli Morse was chosen proprietors' clerk; and he continued to 
 hold the office ever after, and left a record, which is still pre- 
 served, of the doings of their meetings. At this first meeting, 
 it was voted, that six hundred pounds, old tenor, be raised 
 upon the rights subject to taxation; four hundred pounds to be 
 laid out on the main road and bridges, and the remainder 
 "to be given for the encouragement of the person who shall 
 erect a saw-mill in the town." It is presumed that Eli Morse 
 built the first saw-mill in the town, and received this encourage- 
 ment money. 
 
 In May, 1766, one dollar on each right, making fifty dollars, 
 was voted "for encouragement to Eli Morse for building a 
 grist-mill on the stream near his house, provided he shall get 
 it completed in a year and a half from this time." It is likely 
 that he complied with the condition, and that his grist-mill 
 was the earliest erected in the township. Samuel Twitchell's 
 mill is mentioned in the record of the meeting of Dec. 22, 1768. 
 At this time, a road was granted from Moses Adams's to Wil- 
 liam Beal's, in the north-west part of the town,^ and from that 
 road to No. 6 (Packersfield) line; also a road from that near 
 Samuel Twitchell's ^ to Middletown (Jaffrey) line. These roads 
 doubtless opened the first communication with the towns ad- 
 joining on the north and south. 
 
 The first meetinghouse was built by the proprietors, by taxes 
 assessed upon their shares. At their first meeting, held in the 
 township, in September, 1764, they fixed the place where the

ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 7 
 
 meetinghouse should stand, "by marking a tree, and cutting 
 down several small trees, near the east line of the eleventh lot 
 in the sixth range, where the land is to be set off for the purpose, 
 as also for a burying-place and training field." The spot thus 
 selected, and on which the meetinghouse was eventually built, 
 is upon the high ground, across the old road, northerly, from 
 the burying-ground. Nothing appears to have been done about 
 the matter the next year, and nothing the year succeeding, be- 
 yond choosing a committee to measure off the ten acres, and 
 put up bounds. 
 
 A meeting of the proprietors in May, 1767, is stated to have 
 been "warned by Reuben Kidder, Esq., a justice of the peace, 
 according to law." He lived in New Ipswich, and attended and 
 presided at the meeting, at an expense to the proprietors of 
 eight shillings, as appears by his receipt. Probably the impor- 
 tance of the business to be transacted induced them to take this 
 precaution, in order to prevent all chance of calling in question 
 the validity of their doings. At this meeting, they voted to 
 build a meetinghouse "fifty feet long, thirty-eight feet wide, 
 and proportionable as to the height"; and chose Moses Adams, 
 Henry Strongman, and William Greenwood, a committee "to 
 take care to effect the work." They also voted to raise four 
 dollars by tax on each right, to build the meetinghouse. 
 
 They were not precipitate in entering upon the work, how- 
 ever, it would seem; since at their next meeting, which was in 
 December, 1768, more than a year and a half afterwards, they 
 tried a vote to see if the proprietors would reconsider their 
 former vote relating to the dimensions of the meetinghouse. 
 But they refused to reconsider, and voted to build the house 
 of the former dimensions ; and also raised three dollars more on 
 each share towards building it. 
 
 In February, 1771, they granted five dollars on each right, 
 to carry on the building of the meetinghouse. These three as- 
 sessments, amounting to twelve dollars on a share, or six hun- 
 dred dollars in the whole, are all the money ever raised by the 
 proprietors for the purpose. From a memorandum, headed 
 "An Account of what hath been done toward Building the 
 meetinghouse," and bearing date, Dec. 12, 1772, it appears, 
 that, of the amount then expended (about £1,250, old tenor), 
 above one half was paid to William Greenwood, who was a 
 carpenter, and had the charge of building the house. He was 
 paid in sums varying from ten shillings to fifteen pounds twelve 
 shillings, lawful money, at sundry dates between October, 
 
8 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 1769, and October, 1773, as his receipts show, which, to the 
 iiiiinber of twenty-four, are found among the papers of Eli 
 Morse. 
 
 When the meetinghouse was so far finished as to be occupied 
 does not appear. It seems probable, however, that it took at 
 least two years to bring it to that stage. The first town-meet- 
 ing held in it was Sept. 10, 1771. It was used for public worship 
 the ensuing winter. 
 
 From 1763, the population of the township increased with 
 considerable rapidity. New settlers came in from various 
 places, — Sherborn, Natick, Medfield, Holliston, Framingham, 
 Temple, Amherst, and elsewhere. Of the earlier settlers, by 
 far the greater number came from Sherborn. There is no means 
 of ascertaining what was the population of the town at any 
 date prior to 1775, when it was three hundred five. A census 
 of New Hampshire was taken in 1767, by the selectmen of 
 each town and place; but there is no return from this township. 
 There was probably no formal organization existing at that 
 time, and consequently no officers to take the census. 
 
 A political organization of the inhabitants was effected in 
 1768, as appears by a record among the old papers of the town, 
 which recites that, "at a meeting of the inhabitants of Mo- 
 nadnock No. 3, by order of the General Court," held, Nov. 16, 
 1768, John Goffe, Esq., moderator, the following oflScers were 
 chosen: Moses Adams, Eli Morse, John Muzzey, assessors; 
 Joseph Greenwood, clerk; Henry Strongman, collector; Moses 
 Adams, commissioner of assessment. Appended, of the same 
 date, is a certificate of the justice that the above officers were 
 legally chosen, according to an act of the General Court, and 
 were sworn to the faithful discharge of their respective offices. 
 This John Goffe is presumed to have been Colonel John Goffe 
 of Bedford. The organization thus established was preserved; 
 and like officers were chosen, annually, in March, till the town 
 was incorporated. 
 
 The incorporation of the town took place in March, 1771. 
 The petition for the purpose, to the Governor of the Province, 
 appears to have been signed by Josiah Willard, Jr., as "the 
 agent for and in behalf of the inhabitants and settlers." It sets 
 forth, as the main ground of the application, that Dublin is rated 
 among the towns and parishes in the Province for the Province- 
 tax, and that the place "is not legally qualified to raise and 
 collect said taxes, whereby they may be construed delinquents 
 if the same should be omitted." The petitioner also begs leave

 GRAXTKD BY KING GP:()IUiE THE THIRD, 1771 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 9 
 
 to suggest to his Excellency, "that the said Dublin is presumed 
 to be sufficiently inhabited and convenient for incorporation." 
 The petition was dated, March 25th, and a charter was forth- 
 with granted, bearing date the 29th of the same month. 
 
 For his services in this behalf, Mr. Willard received from the 
 town thirty-two dollars, as appears by his receipt, dated Keene, 
 Oct. 10, 1771. To meet this expenditure, the town, at the 
 second town-meeting, held. May 29, 1771, made a specific ap- 
 propriation; though it seems they had not got their ideas up 
 fully to the exigency of the case, as the sum they appropriated 
 was less by two dollars and a half than the amount of the bill. 
 Besides the money paid him by the town, he received, as is 
 shown by his receipt, seven shillings and sixpence, "in full 
 satisfaction for services done the proprietors of Dublin in ob- 
 taining a charter." 
 
 The charter thus granted was, doubtless, substantially the 
 same as was usually granted to towns, in those times. It issues 
 in the name of "George the Third, by the grace of God, of 
 Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the 
 Faith, and so forth." It contains a reservation of all white- 
 pine trees upon the land "fit for the use of our Royal Navy." 
 This reservation of pine ship-timber was in pursuance of Acts 
 of Parliament relating to the preservation of his majesty's 
 woods in America. We do not, however, learn that any requi- 
 sition for the article was ever made upon the township, either 
 prior or subsequent to the act of incorporation. 
 
 The town was incorporated by the name of Dublin. In the 
 petition for incorporation, it is described as the tract of land 
 "commonly called and known by the name of Dublin (or 
 Monadnock No. 3)." When or how long it had been com- 
 monly known by the name of Dubhn does not appear. Up to 
 that time, the name does not occur, so far as I have seen, in 
 any of the papers of the proprietors, or of the township. It is 
 commonly understood that the town was named from Dublin, 
 Ireland. Why it should have been is not obvious, as it is pretty 
 manifest that, before the incorporation of the town, all the 
 Scotch-Irish who had ever been resident in it had removed, 
 with the exception of one, — Henry Strongman. But he, it is 
 said, was born in Dublin; and that circumstance may have 
 settled the point. ^ At all events, it is just as hard to tell why 
 
 1 If, as is most probable, Henry Strongman, the Scotch-Irishman, were the first 
 permanent settler of the locality, it was most fitting that the proprietors should honor 
 him by naming their new township from his native city of Dublin, Ireland. Strong- 
 
10 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 it should not have been so named, smee it must necessarily 
 have some name, and it might as well be called Dublin as any- 
 thing else. 
 
 In the deed of grant from the proprietors, the township was 
 described as "North Monadnock, or Number Three," the names 
 being in the alternative. In the papers of the original pro- 
 prietors' clerk, Joseph Blanchard, Jr., and others emanating 
 from non-residents, it is styled, pretty uniformly, "The North 
 Monadnock Township." By the residents, it appears to have 
 been called, commonly, "Monadnock Number 3." Sometimes 
 the two designations were run together, making it "North 
 Monadnock Number 3." 
 
 To understand why either the "North" or the "Number" 
 should have been applied, it is to be borne in mind, that "Mo- 
 nadnock" was a name of pretty extensive use in these regions. 
 Thus, Rindge, otherwise called Rowley Canada, was Monad- 
 nock No. 1; Jaffrey, called Middle Monadnock, or sometimes 
 Middletown, was Monadnock No. 2; Dublin, or North Mo- 
 nadnock, was Monadnock No. 3; Fitzwilliam, Monadnock No. 
 4; Marlborough, called originally New Marlborough, was Mo- 
 nadnock No. 5; Nelson, formerly Packersfield, was Monadnock 
 No. 6; Stoddard, which was Limerick, was, it is presumed, 
 Monadnock No. 7; and Washington, formerly Camden, was 
 Monadnock No. 8. 
 
 The meeting for the organization of the town, under the 
 charter, was called, as provided in the instrument, by Thomas 
 Morse, and was held. May 6, 1771. Mr. Morse was moderator. 
 The first board of selectmen, then chosen, was Thomas Morse, 
 Henry Strongman, and Benjamin Mason. Joseph Greenwood 
 was chosen town-clerk. 
 
 Mr. Greenwood, for twenty years or more next after this 
 time, was by far the most prominent business-man in the town. 
 He was town-clerk in 1771, and from 1776 for seventeen years 
 successively, during which time he was also selectman ten years, 
 and town-treasurer some part of the time. He represented 
 Dublin in the Convention of Delegates which met at Exeter, 
 May 17, 1775. He was likewise a noted schoolmaster. Further- 
 more, he was the first justice of the peace in the town. For 
 some years, they had been obliged to send for a justice of the 
 peace from a distance, when one was required. In the treasurer's 
 account, settled in 1776, is found an item, "Paid Esq. Hale, for 
 
 man's dwelling was on the fifth lot of the sixth range, occupied by Ralph Wood in 1916, 
 and recently by his father, the late Dr. Curtis A. Wood. — J. L. S. 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 11 
 
 swearing town oflScers, two years, twelve shillings." Precisely 
 when Mr, Greenwood was appointed does not appear; but it was 
 before May, 1777. He and Samuel Twitchell and Reuben Morse 
 were, I conclude, the only justices of the peace in the town, 
 until several years after the commencement of this century. 
 He appears to have been a capable man, and to have done 
 his business usually in a very correct and scholarly manner. 
 
 The subject of raising money to hire preaching was several 
 times brought before the meetings of the proprietors; but it 
 does not appear that the proprietors, as such, ever raised and 
 applied any money for that purpose. Whatever preaching the 
 settlers had, and it must have been very little, before the town 
 was incorporated, was paid for, if at all, by individuals. It is 
 said the first sermon preached in the township was at the house 
 of Eli Morse,^ in the autumn of 1767, by the Rev. Samuel Locke 
 of Sherborn, afterwards President of Harvard College. 
 
 At the second town-meeting, held, May 29, 1771, the town 
 granted fifteen pounds for preaching. The money appears to 
 have been expended in the course of the summer; as, in Sep- 
 tember of the same year, they voted to have a month's preach- 
 ing that fall, and granted nine pounds for the purpose. 
 
 On the 17th of October, 1771, the town made choice of Mr. 
 Joseph Farrar for their gospel minister. He was a native of 
 Lincoln, Mass., and graduated at Harvard College in 1767. 
 They voted to give him, as a settlement, thirteen pounds six 
 shillings and eightpence, in addition to the right of land (three 
 lots) to which, as the first settled minister, he would be en- 
 titled under the original grant, and to clear twenty acres of 
 land in one of the lots. The salary was to be "forty pounds 
 ($133.33) the first year, and to rise two pounds thirteen shil- 
 lings and fourpence a year, till it gets to fifty-three pounds six 
 shilhngs and eightpence, so to continue." In January, 1772, 
 the town voted some prospective increase in the salary, which, 
 however, as the case resulted, never became of any practical 
 consequence. 
 
 Mr. Farrar seems to have experienced considerable diffi- 
 culty in deciding the momentous question. But on the 3d of 
 February, in a letter setting forth, at length, his endeavors, 
 through reflection, prayer, and taking the advice of the rever- 
 end fathers, to come to a right determination, he expressed his 
 acceptance of the office.

12 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 As the laws then were, the freeholders of each town, con- 
 vened in piibHc town-meeting, had the right to agree with a 
 minister for the town, and determine what annual ^lary 
 should be allowed to him, and such minister was to be ac- 
 counted the settled minister of the town; and the selectmen 
 were to make rates and assessments upon the inhabitants of 
 the town for the payment of his salary, in the same manner as 
 for defraying other town charges. Only such as were con- 
 scientiously of a different persuasion, and constantly attended 
 the public worship of God on the Lord's day according to their 
 own persuasion, were entitled to be excused from paying 
 towards the support of the ministry of the town. 
 
 In this case, the arrangement was made, substantially, 
 through the ordinary town-meetings. But before the ordina- 
 tion took place, a meeting of the freeholders was held, at which 
 it was voted to concur with what the voters had done with 
 regard to giving Mr. Farrar a call to settle as their gospel 
 minister. The ordination was on the 10th of June, 1772. A 
 church was formed at the same time. 
 
 The connection between Mr. Farrar and his charge was not 
 of long continuance. In September, 1775, we find a town- 
 meeting called, upon three days' notice only, by the town- 
 clerk, "by order of the selectmen," as the warrant states, "to 
 consider the unhappy difficulty subsisting betwixt Mr. Farrar 
 and his people, and to agree upon some proper means to settle 
 the same." A committee was sent by the meeting to desire 
 Mr. Farrar to come into the meetinghouse, to see if he would 
 join in calling a fast. It is not stated whether or not he came. 
 The meeting voted to send for five ministers named, to come 
 on the first Tuesday of October, and join with them in keeping 
 a day of fasting and prayer, and also to give them advice con- 
 cerning the difficulty in question. It does not appear whether 
 such a fast was held. But, on the 26th of October, the town 
 voted "to dismiss Mr. Farrar, upon his request for a dismissal, 
 provided he don't settle the difficulty between him and the 
 town, before the town meet again on adjournment." 
 
 These difficulties, growing out of a disordered state of his 
 mind, amounting to partial insanity, led to the calling, by the 
 concurrence of the church and the town, of a council, which 
 assembled, December 6, 1775; and its result was declared on 
 the next day, and accepted by the parties. In this result, the 
 council state it as their opinion, "that, in the instances com- 
 plained of, the Rev. Mr. Farrar has given the church real cause 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 13 
 
 of uneasiness, but that it has proceeded from bodily diseases, 
 which have greatly affected his mind, and not from any moral 
 cause." At the end of six months, during which time it is sup- 
 posed his pastoral duties were suspended, the difficulties still 
 existing, he was, upon his own request, in pursuance of the 
 result of the council, on the 7th of June, 1776, dismissed from 
 his pastoral relation, by both the church and the town. 
 
 At a town-meeting, held on the same day on which Mr. 
 Farrar was dismissed, the selectmen were instructed to hire 
 preaching six months, and to procure three preachers, if they 
 could find them. It appears from receipts existing, that they 
 had several preachers; but they made no choice of a minister 
 till August, 1777, when they voted to settle Mr. Edward 
 Sprague, at a salary of sixty pounds ($200) a year. They 
 voted also to give him, as a settlement, ten pounds a year, until 
 it should make one hundred pounds, — provided he should con- 
 tinue to be their gospel minister for the term of ten years, — 
 and to furnish him thirty cords of firewood annually. By a 
 subsequent arrangement, the hundred pounds settlement 
 money was commuted, by his taking a lot of land (No. 22 in 
 the 5th range), — he acknowledging payment of it in that way, 
 and giving up all claims to the ministry lands of the town. 
 
 Mr. Sprague accepted the call upon the terms stated; and, 
 on the 12th of November, 1777, his ordination took place. The 
 sermon was preached by the Rev. Samuel Langdon, D.D., 
 President of Harvard College, and was published. 
 
 Of the part which the inhabitants of this town took in the 
 Revolutionary War, there is no very accurate knowledge, — 
 though there seems to be no doubt that they cooperated heartily 
 and unanimously in the movement for independence. 
 
 In March, 1775, the town chose a committee of inspection, 
 who were to see that the Resolves of the Continental Congress 
 be enforced. The only notice I have found of their doings is 
 contained in a paper, which, as it is rather a curiosity in its way, 
 I transcribe. In form, it appears like a regular legal adjudica- 
 tion upon a matter which would seem to be of private right. 
 It runs as follows : — 
 
 "Dublin, July 25, 1775. 
 
 "Whereas the Committee of Inspection in this town have this day 
 met to consider of the complaint made by Ebenezer Hill against Wil- 
 lard Hunt, wherein said Hill complains that said Hunt hath in an un- 
 just manner seized his property in taking possession of some hay 
 which he had on a meadow belonging to Samuel Ames, Jr.; and it 
 
14 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 appears to us by evidence that the hay is Hill's property, and that 
 Hunt hath seized on it in an unjust and violent manner: 
 
 "Therefore, voted that said Hunt immediately desist and let said 
 Hill enjoy his property, or he shall be treated as a disorderly person 
 and an enemy to the peace and good order of society. 
 
 "Voted that the above pass as a resolve of this committee. 
 
 Benja. Mason, Chairman." 
 
 If the facts were proved, the judgment was certainly a 
 righteous one, and very moderate and forbearing towards the 
 delinquent. 
 
 In March, 1776, the Continental Congress passed a Resolve, 
 recommending to the several assemblies, conventions, and 
 councils, or committees of safety, of the United Colonies, im- 
 mediately to cause all persons to be disarmed within their 
 respective colonies, who were notoriously disaffected to the 
 cause of America, or who refused to associate to defend, by 
 arms, the Colonies against the hostile attempts of Great Britain. 
 A copy of this Resolution was transmitted to the selectmen of 
 the several towns, by the Committee of Safety for the Colony 
 of New Hampshire, with a circular from them, bearing date, 
 Apr. 12, 1776, of the following tenor: — 
 
 "In order to carry the underwritten Resolve of the honorable 
 Continental Congress into execution, you are requested to desire all 
 males above twenty-one years of age (lunatics, idiots, and Negroes 
 excepted) to sign the Declaration on this paper; and, when so done, to 
 make return thereof, together with the name or names of all who shall 
 refuse to sign the same, to the General Assembly, or Committee of 
 Safety of the Colony. — M. Weare, Chairman." 
 
 The declaration referred to was as follows : — 
 
 "In consequence of the above Resolution of the Continental 
 Congress, and to show our determination in joining our American 
 brethren in defending the lives, liberties, and properties of the inhabit- 
 ants of the United Colonies: 
 
 "We, the subscribers, do hereby solemnly engage and promise, 
 that we will, to the utmost of our power, at the risk of our lives and 
 fortunes, with arms, oppose the hostile proceedings of the British 
 fleets and armies against the united American Colonies." 
 
 The return from Dublin, which is not dated, but which was 
 made probably in May or June, 1776, has appended to the list 
 of names this certificate : — 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 15 
 
 "In compliance with your request, we have desired all the males 
 in our town, above twenty-one years of age, to sign to the declaration 
 on this paper, which they all did without any dispute. — Test : 
 Joseph Greenw^ood, Simeon Bullard, John Muzzey, Selectmen of 
 Dublin." 
 
 The list of signers contains fifty-seven names, — which may, 
 therefore, be taken to have been the entire male population of 
 the town, above the age of twenty-one years, at that time, ex- 
 cepting those, of whom there were doubtless some, that were 
 absent in the military service or otherwise. The unanimity 
 with which the declaration was subscribed may be taken as 
 some evidence of the spirit which animated the people of the 
 town. The circumstances, it must be confessed, w^ere not the 
 best adapted to insure an entirely free and independent expres- 
 sion of opinion; and it may perhaps be doubted whether, in 
 the actual state of the case, it required more moral courage to 
 sign the paper than to refuse so to do. There is no reason, how- 
 ever, to suppose that the people of Dublin were not unitedly, 
 and of their own free will, ardently attached to the cause of 
 liberty. 
 
 How many and who actually served in the war, and when, 
 where, and how long, it is impossible to ascertain with any 
 great precision.^ Dublin had four men, at least, at Bunker 
 Hill, namely: Jonathan Morse, Richard Gilchrist, Thomas 
 Green, and John Swan. The last named of these, it is said by 
 Mr. Dunbar, in his history of Peterborough, was on duty, but 
 not in the battle. Mr. Gilchrist probably saved the life of his 
 friend Green, who was severely wounded, bearing him off upon 
 his back, in a fainting and almost expiring state, from the field 
 of battle, to Medford. Mr. Dunbar puts down Gilchrist, 
 Green, and Swan as belonging to Peterborough. But they 
 were all three taxed for a poll-tax, in Dublin, in 1775, and must, 
 therefore, have resided here on the first of April of that year. 
 Mr. Gilchrist, it is presumed, never lived in Peterborough. 
 
 John Swan appears to have been a very patriotic individual. 
 I have come across a scrap of paper, without direction, date, 
 or signature, which reads as follows : — 
 
 "Whereas Mr. John Swan hath a desire to serve his country in the 
 Continental Army, we, the Committee of Safety in Dublin, can recom- 
 mend him to be a true friend to the cause of American liberty; and, if 
 
 1 See the chapter in this history which recounts the service of Dublin in the Revo- 
 lution. — J. L. S. 
 
16 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 your honors shall see cause to give him any command in said army, 
 we hope he will be of service to the public." 
 
 In after times he is dignified with the title of Lieutenant 
 Swan. In what service he obtained the distinction, I do not 
 know. It seems that he died soon after 1780. A parcel of bills 
 against his estate may be found among the old papers of the 
 town, which appear to have been presented before some tribu- 
 nal for allowance. They exhibit some curious particulars. One 
 document reads thus : — 
 
 Dublin, July the 10, 1783. 
 
 "This may certify that it is our judgment that Mr. Barnabas 
 Wood must have six pounds twelve shiUings, as a reward for his ox, 
 out of the estate of John Swan. Moses Adams. 
 
 Benjamin Learned." 
 
 A bill to Robert Blood is made up of sundry bowds of West 
 India toddy, mugs of flip, and other kindred spirits, with an 
 occasional intermixture of victuals, lodging, and horse keeping. 
 It would seem, however, that he did not spend his money upon 
 these vanities, as the bill had been standing so long that it was 
 charged with eight years' interest. 
 
 Jonathan Morse must have been out during the greater part 
 of the war. The author of the "Memorial of the Morses" rep- 
 resents him to have been in the battles of Bunker Hill, Benning- 
 ton, Ticonderoga, and Monmouth, and to have signalized him- 
 self by deeds of daring and acts of magnanimity, some of 
 which he recounts, and concludes with saying, "In short, 
 Jonathan was so humane and honest, so rough and ready, that, 
 had he lived to this time, he might have been President of the 
 United States." 
 
 Thomas Hardy was in the service for some time. There is a 
 note given to him by the selectmen, on behalf of the town, 
 dated, Apr. 17, 1778, for sixty pounds, payable within ten 
 months, — and one of like amount, date, and tenor to Jona- 
 than Morse. 
 
 In April, 1777, the town voted "to give one hundred dollars 
 to each man sent for to this towai to join the three battalions 
 now raising in this state." 
 
 In August of the same year, they made a contribution of 
 "material aid" to the cause, which, though not of great magni- 
 tude, was of a kind to make some noise in the camp. The 
 receipt shows what it was. 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 17 
 
 Dublin, August 3, 1777. 
 
 "Received of the Committee of this town, two tin kittles, for the 
 yuse of General Starks Briggade, Prised 14 shillings. Received by me, 
 
 Samson Powers." 
 
 At the March meeting, in 1779, a committee was chosen to 
 hire three soldiers for the Continental Battalions, during the 
 war. The soldiers were not forthcoming, it would seem. In 
 February, 1781, a committee was chosen to hire the town's 
 quota of men, to serve in the Continental Army for three years, 
 or during the war, and empowered to engage, on behalf of the 
 town, for payment of their hire. 
 
 The three soldiers appear to have been found, eventually. 
 One was Jonathan Morse. One was John Stone. The terms on 
 which the latter was hired appear, in part, from a receipt given 
 by him to the committee. It is dated, March 19, 1781, and sets 
 forth that whereas he had received from the committee three 
 notes (the amount of them is not stated), for which he was to 
 serve three years in the Continental Army, unless sooner dis- 
 charged, he promises that, if he does not serve above six months, 
 he will have the contents of but one note; if not above eight- 
 een months, the contents of but two notes; and if he is gone two 
 years, he will have but two notes. Mr. Stone probably died 
 in the war or soon after its close, as in December, 1788, the 
 town passed a vote, "that the selectmen make such considera- 
 tion to the widow Stone as they may think reasonable, on ac- 
 count of the advantage the town had of the depreciation of her 
 late husband's wages;" — a very proper and honorable vote, 
 certainly. 
 
 The other soldier I presume to have been Hart Balch, — as 
 I find that in November, 1787, the town voted him five dollars, 
 for the damage he had sustained by not having the land 
 cleared according to bargain, which the town was to clear for 
 him, for his service done in the army. There is also a receipt 
 of his, dated, April 26, 1784, acknowledging the receipt from 
 the town of keeping for a cow, firewood, and house room, for 
 one year. 
 
 It was a part of the arrangement, that the soldiers' work 
 upon their land, and the like, should be carried on, in their ab- 
 sence, by the town. In April, 1781, a committee w-as chosen 
 to appraise the labor to be done for the soldiers for the year, 
 and to divide the town into classes, "so that each man may 
 know what he is to do, and where to do it," — a very practical, 
 
18 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 common-sense reason. The same course was pursued in sub- 
 sequent years. In 1783, the town voted to receive rye, at five 
 shilhngs a bushel, for paying the soldiers' hire. Rye, by the 
 way, was common currency, in those days. Not only did 
 private individuals make their contracts payable in that article, 
 but the town-treasurer frequently gave and received, on behalf 
 of the town, notes and obligations payable in the same way. 
 
 To provide the means of supporting its soldiers in the army, 
 it became necessary for the state to levy taxes upon the towns. 
 Sometimes the taxation was in the nature of raising a stated 
 amount of specific articles, instead of money. Thus, they had 
 a "beef-tax"; and in August, 1781, an act was passed for sup- 
 plying the Continental Army with ten thousand gallons of 
 West India rum, — of which the share assessed upon Dublin 
 was forty-six and a half gallons. Any town neglecting season- 
 ably to furnish its proportion was to forfeit "one Spanish milled 
 dollar or other silver or gold equivalent for each gallon in ar- 
 rears." Instead of the West India, "good New England rum, 
 in the proportion of six quarts of the latter to one gallon of the 
 former," might be furnished as a substitute. It appears that 
 Dublin, for some cause, failed to furnish its proportion of the 
 article, — as the receipt of a deputy sheriff shows the payment, 
 at a subsequent time, by one of the selectmen, of the amount 
 of the town's "rum tax and cost," upon an extent, or execution. 
 We can hardly, in view of the prevailing sentiments and customs 
 of the time, pay our ancestors the compliment of supposing 
 that their omission to provide the article, in specie, arose from 
 any conscientious scruples, on their part, as to the propriety 
 of the use of it. 
 
 After the war was over, our townsmen cast about to see what 
 was the condition of their military stores. In June, 1783, they 
 chose a committee to examine the town-stock of powder, and 
 dispose of it, if necessary. It appears that it was disposed of 
 some time afterwards, as in November, 1786, they voted to 
 approve of what the selectmen had done in selling the town's 
 powder. But, not to seem wanting in respect to the art mili- 
 tary, they voted that the selectmen "take four dollars of the 
 powder-money and buy a drum and fife for the training com- 
 pany;" and that the rest of the money be applied to purchasing 
 ammunition for the town. 
 
 Before the Revolution, the usual form for the commencement 
 of town-meeting warrants was, "These are in his majesty's 
 name, to will and require you forthwith to notify and warn all 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 19 
 
 the freeholders and other inhabitants of Dubhn, quahfied to 
 vote in town affairs," &c. This form continued to be used until 
 March, 1775, inclusive. Then, for a time, it was, "You are re- 
 quired to notify," &c., without specifying the authority by 
 which the requisition was made. After July 3, 1776, as pro- 
 vided by the General Court, it was, "In the name of the govern- 
 ment and people of the Colony of New Hampshire." By an act 
 of the General Court, of Sept. 11, 1776, the colony assumed 
 the name of "the State of New Hampshire;" and thenceforth 
 the warrant opens, "In the name of the government and 
 people of the State of New Hampshire." 
 
 The Federal Constitution having been framed and presented 
 for ratification, and a Convention being about to assemble, in 
 New Hamsphire, to act upon it, a town-meeting was called, in 
 January, 1788, to take the matter into consideration. At the 
 meeting, a committee was chosen, to consider the subject; and 
 the meeting adjourned, for a week, to hear their report. No 
 report was made at the adjournment; but another committee 
 was chosen, and thereupon the meeting was adjourned for a 
 week more, when, the record states, "Met according to ad- 
 journment, and voted to dissolve the meeting." No reason is 
 intimated why no action was taken in the case. A failure so 
 marked and deliberate, to declare for the instrument, had it 
 occurred in these days of constitutional enlightenment, there 
 is reason to apprehend, would have subjected the delinquents 
 to the grave suspicion of lacking patriotism. 
 
 There was no one chosen from Dublin as a delegate to the 
 Convention which was to decide upon the ratification of the 
 Constitution. But Samuel Griffin, who was chosen from Pack- 
 ersfield, it is presumed, represented^ Dublin also, as it appears 
 from the treasurer's accounts that the latter town paid a por- 
 tion of his expenses for attendance at the Convention. 
 
 Dublin and Packersfield were, at first, classed together for 
 the choice of representative to the General Court, — the 
 member being taken from the one town and the other alter- 
 nately. Samuel Griffin of Packersfield was chosen in 1789, and 
 again in 1791; whilst, on the part of Dublin, Reuben Morse 
 was sent in 1790, and Samuel Twitchell in 1792. After the last 
 named year, Dublin was entitled, of itself, to send a representa- 
 tive. 
 
 The price paid officials in the town's service, such as select-

20 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 men, committees, and the like, was, for a long time, pretty 
 uniformly three shillings a day, — except for running town 
 lines, which was regularly four shillings. In 1795, the selectmen 
 charged four shillings a day; in 1800, ninety cents; and, soon 
 after that, it came to be a dollar a day, which is presumed ever 
 since to have been the standing price. 
 
 In early times, and up to the year 1791, when an act was 
 passed relieving them from that duty, the constables were, by 
 virtue of their office, collectors of taxes. Every man in town 
 was obliged, with certain limitations, to serve as constable, 
 when chosen, under a penalty of three pounds. The collection 
 of the taxes was, of course, rather an onerous service; and, 
 when the population became considerable, rendered it difficult 
 to get constables who would willingly perform the duty. As 
 early as 1785, the town allowed the constables something for 
 their services; and, soon after, the practice was introduced of 
 venduing the collection of the taxes. Fourpence-half penny was 
 about the common rate paid for collecting. 
 
 All bills and accounts against the town were required to be 
 brought before the inhabitants, in town-meeting assembled, 
 for allowance. This was uniformly done, until the year 1814, 
 when, by a vote of the town, the allowance of such claims was 
 submitted to the selectmen; and, unless in respect to the ac- 
 counts of the selectmen themselves, that has doubtless been 
 the practice ever since. In like manner, the abatement of 
 taxes was always by vote in town-meeting. In matters of this 
 kind, while the public convenience has been subserved by the 
 change, the practice, it will be perceived, has been growing less 
 democratic, — the people having entrusted to their agents the 
 doing of many things which formerly they attended to them- 
 selves in town-meetings. 
 
 The town has, at times, been subjected to considerable ex- 
 pense for supporting paupers and assisting needy people. In 
 the earlier days of its history, the practice was adopted of 
 warning new-comers out of towTi, with a view to prevent their 
 acquiring a legal settlement. This had to be done within a 
 year after the person came into the town. There is a list pre- 
 served of the persons included in the successive warnings, made 
 once a year or oftener, commencing in 1778, and extending 
 through a period of ten years; and undoubtedly the practice 
 was continued afterwards. They seem, certainly at first, to 
 have warned out all, indiscriminately, — without regard to 
 their condition or abihty to support themselves, — as the list 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 21 
 
 contains some of the most substantial inhabitants, being headed 
 by Nathan Bixby, who came from Framingham, in 1778, and 
 who, for many years, was commonly the largest tax-payer in 
 the town. 
 
 There were, however, some, at an early day, whom the town 
 had to assist. The family of Jabez Puffer — a most unfortu- 
 nate family — received such aid as early as 1779. For several 
 years, they were supplied by the town with articles of subsist- 
 ence and necessaries, — and very liberally supplied, it would 
 seem; as these items, for a long while, constitute one of the 
 main staples of the town expenditures. 
 
 At length, the wisdom of somebody devised the scheme of 
 venduing the toions poor, as it was expressed. The experiment 
 was first tried in 1795, and was so successful that the practice 
 was continued, certainly till 1822. It is one of the most excep- 
 tionable practices that ever obtained in the town. It was ag- 
 gravated tenfold by the custom of furnishing, at the expense 
 of the town, on those occasions, intoxicating drinks, for those 
 who were present, serving to make the most prompt bidders of 
 a class of men the least fitted to have charge of the bartered 
 victims. Whether this custom prevailed from the first, I am 
 not advised; but certainly it was in vogue in comparatively 
 recent times, — from 1814 to 1822. The treasurer's accounts, 
 for almost every year during that period, contain items for 
 "liquor furnished at the time the poor were put out," and on 
 other occasions when it was thought necessary to stimulate 
 men's ideas, and make them do things which they would not 
 do when in the full possession of their sober senses. Thus, in 
 1815, there is a bill of nine mugs of toddy, at the time the poor 
 of the town were let out; two mugs at the letting out of the 
 schoolhouse by Drury Morse's; ^ and fifteen mugs at the ven- 
 duing of the town land, — the price, twenty-five cents a mug. 
 The practice in question, as well as the aggravation thus su- 
 perinduced, may claim the benefit of the plea of common usage, 
 to go, in extenuation, for what it is worth. 
 
 Our townsmen were sometimes sorely tried by the depreda- 
 tions of wild beasts and mischievous birds. In the earlier days 
 of the settlement, bears haunted the vicinity of the cultivated 
 lands; and, though scarcely dangerous to human life, they were 
 a terror to the inhabitants, and were sadly destructive, — es- 
 pecially of the corn-fields. To a much later time, wolves, which 
 
 1 Who lived on or near the site of the house of Fred. A. Adams, at Bond's Corner. 
 — J. L. S. 
 
22 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 found a retreat in the rock-cleft chasms of the Monadnock's 
 ruf^ged sides, in their nocturnal incursions into the sheep-folds 
 and pastures, made deadly havoc of the flocks. A call for the 
 redress of a grievance of this kind was made, through the town 
 warrant, in August, 1792, in the shape of an article, "to see if 
 the town will give any encouragement for killing wolves." 
 The town responded to the appeal by voting to give a bounty 
 of eight dollars to any of the inhabitants of this town, who 
 should, before the twentieth day of the next March, kill any 
 wolf found within the limits of Dublin, Jaffrey, Rindge, Fitz- 
 william, or Marlborough; also to give any inhabitant of any of 
 the other towns named the same bounty for killing any wolf 
 found in either of these towns, which the respective towns shall 
 give for killing wolves; — 'provided, that such towns will give 
 the inhabitants of Dublin the same bounty which they give 
 their own inhabitants. 
 
 We have here an exemplification of the doctrine of comity, 
 and fair reciprocity, between the towns, as well as a practical 
 illustration of the theory of intervention on their part, to secure 
 non-intervention on the part of the wolves. How many of 
 these latter suifered under the operation of this sanguinary 
 edict, we know not; but certain it is, from receipts for the 
 bounty, paid upon certificates of the fact from the selectmen 
 of Jaffrey, that Capt. Benjamin Spaulding caught a grown wolf 
 in Jaffrey, which he killed on the 5th of September, 1792, and 
 another about the 1st of November following. He must have 
 been a terror to all surviving wolves, if any there were. 
 
 In June, 1799, it was voted, upon like principles of reciproc- 
 ity, to give, for one year, ten dollars for killing a wolf a year old, 
 and five dollars for a younger one, within either of the towns of 
 Dublin, Fitzwilliam, Jaffrey, Marlborough, and Packersfield. 
 
 In March, 1805, the town voted to give a bounty of twenty- 
 five cents on all old crows, and twelve and a half cents on all 
 young ones, killed within the town, in May and June next. 
 As the crow is fabled to live a hundred years, it might become a 
 nice question of casuistry at what age the creature could be 
 said to be old. But, as the maxim is, that the evil intent makes 
 up for deficiency of age, it may be presumed they deemed the 
 crow old as soon as it became capable of doing mischief. 
 
 These things, apparently so trivial, show, nevertheless, the 
 temper of the men. They aimed at a practical result, and looked 
 steadily to that. In offering a bounty upon these animals, they 
 were evidently not actuated by any special enmity to the 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 23 
 
 wolves or the crows: they did not, according to the modern 
 doctrine, demand indemnity for the past, also, but only sought 
 security for the future. Hence they graduated their rewards 
 to meet the estimated exigency, calculating the chances that 
 the juvenile wolf or crow would attain to the full maturity of 
 wolf or crowhood, and become a permanent settler in the 
 vicinage. They seem, however, to have come to the conclu- 
 sion that they had underrated the vitality and inhabitative- 
 ness of the crow; for, upon the next occasion of their legislating 
 upon the subject (in 1811), we find them offering twenty-five 
 cents on old crows, and seventeen cents on young ones. 
 
 The town has, from time to time, extended its countenance, 
 though to a limited extent, to the military. The memorable 
 grant, in 1786, of four dollars, to buy a drum and fife, has been 
 already noticed. In 1807, the town, through a committee -ap- 
 pointed for the purpose, petitioned the General Court for an 
 artillery company. That body responded to the application for 
 one thing by granting another, which was probably just as 
 good. They authorized the formation of a company of grena- 
 diers; and the town, the next year, voted to accept the sub- 
 stitute, and chose a committee to consult with the field officers 
 concerning the rank which the company should hold in the 
 regiment. Military and fire companies are always sensitive 
 upon this matter of rank. 
 
 At the March meeting in 1809, a vote was passed empower- 
 ing the selectmen to furnish the grenadier company with a 
 stand of colors, if they should think best. It seems that, for 
 some cause, they failed to do it; for in November, 1810, the 
 town voted, peremptorily, that the selectmen furnish the 
 company with a stand of colors; which was done, at an expense 
 of twenty-five dollars. The company continued to perform its 
 warlike achievements under that standard, until, having be- 
 come faded and tattered, it was superseded by another, which 
 was presented to the company by a former resident of the town. 
 
 I have stated that the proprietors of the township had ex- 
 pended about six hundred dollars upon the meetinghouse, by 
 the year 1773. In April of that year, they voted not to raise 
 any more money, at present, for that purpose. This was the 
 last meeting held by the proprietors, until, ten years later 
 (Sept. 11, 1783), a meeting was called, "to see if the proprietors 
 would finish building the meetinghouse, or give it to the town;" 
 and it was voted to give it to the town, as their property. 
 
 At a town-meeting, held, Oct. 13th of the same year, it was 
 
24 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 voted to accept of the meetinghouse, as a donation from the 
 proprietors. At the same time, they voted to finish the house, 
 and sell the pew-ground in it, except one pew on the right 
 hand of the pulpit. Precisely how much had been done to the 
 meetinghouse, up to that time, is not known. Doubtless it 
 was only rough-boarded upon the outside. The pew-ground 
 was planned out in 1773; but it is presumed that no pews were 
 built, and probably no pulpit, till after the house came into 
 possession of the town. It had then been used for a meeting- 
 house some twelve years, and Mr. Sprague had been settled 
 six years. 
 
 The pew-ground, as it was termed, which was the space upon 
 the floor on which the pews were to be built, was sold, in sepa- 
 rate lots, to the highest bidder, with the restrictions that no 
 man be allowed to purchase a pew-lot, but an inhabitant of the 
 town; that the purchasers built the pews uniform, with hand- 
 some panel-work and a handsome banister on the top; that 
 pews on the walls of the house the owners should ceil up as high 
 as the bottom of the windows; and that the floor of the pews 
 should not be raised above eight inches from the floor of the 
 house. The purchaser was required to build his pew when called 
 on by the committee appointed to finish the meetinghouse, or 
 he forfeited his lot. There was a further provision in these 
 words: "Every person that owns a pew shall occupy no other 
 seat in the meetinghouse, until his pew be as full seated as is 
 comfortable for those that seat it; and, if any person owns 
 more than one pew, he shall not shut it up, and keep people 
 from sitting in it." 
 
 The amount expended at this time appears, from a paper 
 entitled "The Account of what the Committee have laid out 
 toward finishing the Meetinghouse," to have been about six 
 hundred dollars, — about the same sum that was originally laid 
 out upon it. But this seems not to have fully satisfied everybody, 
 since, in 1788, we find, in the town-meeting warrant, an article, 
 "to see what method the town will take to finish the meeting- 
 house." The article was, however, passed over "to some future 
 meeting;" and it is a grave question, if, indeed, there be any 
 question about it, whether, in fact, the meetinghouse was ever 
 finished at all. 
 
 The salary of INIr. Sprague, — sixty pounds, or two hundred 
 dollars, — not extravagantly large at the best, was soon ren- 
 dered wholly inadequate by the depreciation of paper-money, 
 which began in 1777, and went on so rapidly that, by 1781, it 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 25 
 
 had become nearly worthless. At the March meeting in 1779, 
 the town voted to give Mr. Spragiie one hundred sixty 
 pounds salary that year. In September following, they voted 
 to make his salary as good to him that year as it was when he 
 was settled; and, for that purpose, to give him nine hundred 
 pounds salary, — including what was granted him in March. 
 But even this sum, nominally fifteen times the amount, he 
 undoubtedly found, before he got it, to be quite unequal, in 
 actual value, to the original salary. To give some idea of the 
 extent of the depreciation, even while the paper-money con- 
 tinued to be used as a standard of value, it may be stated, that 
 the town was assessed for state-tax, in 1780, ten thousand 
 thirty-seven pounds five shillings, — not old tenor, but lawful 
 monej^ — equal to $33,457.50. Rye sold for fifteen pounds, 
 or fifty dollars a bushel; and other things in proportion. ■ 
 
 But the people soon abandoned the task of making their 
 computations by the depreciating currency, and resorted to a 
 more substantial standard. In 1780, we find them voting Mr. 
 Sprague two hundred bushels of rye, or the value thereof in 
 beef, pork, Indian corn, butter, cheese, sheep's wool, flax, or 
 any other article that shall be acceptable to him, as a salary 
 for that year; allowing, for rye, six shillings a bushel; Indian 
 corn, five shillings and four pence ; butter, one shilling a pound ; 
 cheese, eightpence; sheep's wool, two shillings and threepence; 
 flax, one shilling; beef, threepence three farthings; and pork, 
 fivepence. 
 
 The next year they voted him the same salary, — two hun- 
 dred bushels of rye, or the value thereof in other articles, at 
 the same rates as last year, — to be delivered at his house by 
 those who were to pay it. It will readily occur to any one that 
 this method of receiving his salary could not have been particu- 
 larly convenient, nor was likely to be peculiarly advantageous 
 to him. There is an anecdote widely circulated of Mr. Sprague, 
 that his people once proposed to increase his salary, but that 
 he begged them not to do it, since it plagued him almost to 
 death to get what they agreed to give him at first. Considering 
 the way in which his salary was paid, one can readily appreciate 
 the feeling which must have prompted the deprecatory reply 
 that was thus given, or certainly might well have been, had the 
 proposal in question actually have been made. 
 
 The difficulties growing out of the depreciation of the cur- 
 rency, coupled with some others relative to Mr. Sprague's im- 
 provement of certain of the town's land, led to rather a sharp 
 
26 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 encounter between him and the town, in 1781, in which he sent 
 to them two or three letters, couched in language very plain, 
 and not slightly tart. The troubles, however, were amicably 
 adjusted. The next year the town voted Mr. Sprague, for his 
 salary, "two hundred hard dollars, or two hundred bushels of 
 rye. 
 
 In 1801, Mr. Sprague, having received from the estate of his 
 father, who died three or four years before that time, a con- 
 siderable amount of money, made a proposition to the town, 
 which was accepted, to relinquish his salary entirely, upon 
 certain conditions. A letter from him was laid before the town, 
 setting forth that, in consequence of bodily indisposition and 
 infirmities, he had been advised by the best physicians to a 
 change of air and situation, and not to retain a permanent resi- 
 dence in Dublin; and he proposed to relinquish, from the 12th 
 of May, 1801, his annual salary of sixty pounds, and thirty cords 
 of wood, but to retain his pastoral connection with the church, 
 and the right of supplying the pulpit with men of piety and 
 good abilities, when he might find it inexpedient to preach him- 
 self, — the town paying such preachers for their services. 
 Upon the acceptance of the proposition by the town, he sent in 
 a formal release of his salary. Notwithstanding this arrange- 
 ment, it is understood that Mr. Sprague, during the rest of 
 his lifetime, was absent very little from Dublin, and that he 
 continued himself to preach, for the most part, though he had 
 frequently other persons to preach for him; but, it is presumed, 
 this was never attended with any expense to the town. 
 
 After the matter of the relinquishment of his salary was ad- 
 justed, no further mention, except incidentally, is made of Mr. 
 Sprague, in the town records, until, at the March meeting in 
 1818, it was voted to erect a monument to perpetuate his 
 memory. He died on the sixteenth day of December, 1817. 
 His death was occasioned by an injury received in being thrown 
 from his carriage, a week previous. The Rev. Elijah Dunbar 
 of Peterborough preached the sermon, at his funeral, which 
 was subsequently printed, by a vote of the town. 
 
 Mr. Sprague was born in Boston, May 20, 1750, and gradu- 
 ated at Harvard College in 1770. He was a son of Dr. John 
 Sprague, a physician of very considerable eminence, who re- 
 sided in Boston, and afterwards in Dedham, and who accumu- 
 lated a large property. 
 
 Probably no other man who lived hereabouts, in those times, 
 had, or still has, so general a notoriety, throughout a region of 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 27 
 
 considerable extent, as Mr. Sprague. He is commonly spoken 
 of in connection with the thousand anecdotes related of him, 
 many of which, so far as he was concerned, probably had none, 
 and others but a slight, foundation in fact. These anecdotes 
 are of a kind to give the impression that he must have been 
 exceedingly ignorant and shallow. Such, however, is said not 
 to have been the case. Living, as he always had, in and about 
 the large town of Boston, he was undoubtedly not well versed 
 in the business and customs of agricultural life; and he had no 
 great aptitude or taste for acquainting himself with such mat- 
 ters. He is said to have been a good scholar, and to have kept 
 himself well informed, by reading and otherwise, of what was 
 going on in the world. He was not, however, given to close ap- 
 plication to professional studies, or to an elaborate preparation 
 for his public exercises. 
 
 He was preeminently of a social and jovial character, fond of 
 conversation, anecdote, repartee, and good cheer. He is re- 
 ported to have possessed, in a marked degree, the qualities of 
 shrewdness and sharpness of intellect; and in the encounter of 
 wits with his clerical brethren, which was not unusual in those 
 days, his opponent was quite as likely as himself to come off 
 second best. He was a man of the most kindly, generous dis- 
 position, and of ready sympathy with affliction and distress. 
 
 "As a minister of the gospel," it is said by Mr. Dunbar, in 
 his funeral sermon, "Mr. Sprague was considered as excelling 
 more particularly in his pathetic addresses, and sermons on 
 funeral occasions, and generally in his public prayers." Of his 
 sermons, generally, I doubt whether much can be said to their 
 advantage. It is presumed he had not the industry and appli- 
 cation necessary to prepare them thoroughly and carefully. 
 Those that he left are written in a character and hand so com- 
 pletely illegible that nobody, so far as I have heard, unless it 
 were Mr. Dunbar, has ever pretended to the ability to decipher 
 them; and I have been told it was not always without consid- 
 erable diflSculty that he could read his sermons himself. 
 
 In his will, made three days before his death, Mr. Sprague 
 gave to the town of Dublin five thousand dollars, to be left at 
 interest forever, for the support of the Christian religion, in the 
 Congregational [now Unitarian] Society, in the town. After 
 giving to Dr. Moses Kidder two thousand dollars, making some 
 other bequests of small amount, and leaving to his wife the 
 use of the rest of his estate during her lifetime, he gave to the 
 town of Dublin all the remainder of his estate, "to be kept for 
 
28 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 schooling in said Dublin." Mrs. Sprague dying soon after, this 
 fund, amounting to nearly ten thousand dollars, came into 
 possession; and the income of it has ever since been applied to 
 the support of the public common schools. 
 
 The subject of building a new meetinghouse began to be 
 agitated soon after the commencement of the present century. 
 At the March meeting in 1808, the town voted to build a new 
 meetinghouse. But nothing came of it. In November, 1810, 
 they voted to accept the report of a committee from out of 
 town, for fixing the spot, and chose a committee to let out the 
 building of the house. The spot selected was upon land of 
 Cyrus Chamberlain, probably not far from the place where 
 the brick church now stands.^ But there was dissatisfaction in 
 regard to the location. Some desired that it should be built 
 upon the schoolhouse hill. There was a succession of excit- 
 ing town-meetings in 1811, which, however, resulted in nothing. 
 
 Here the matter subsided, and rested till 1815, when it was 
 again voted to build a new meetinghouse, and to set it on the 
 schoolhouse hill. But, this proving unsatisfactory, in March, 
 1817, a committee was raised, consisting of four from the east 
 and four from the west part of the town, to agree upon a spot 
 for the house. This committee made a report, at the same 
 meeting, which was accepted, and which was, "to set the meet- 
 inghouse north of Joseph Appleton's blacksmith's shop, and 
 turn the road south of the potash, to the post-guide south of 
 Esquire Snow's, from thence south of the burial-ground, across 
 the point of the pond," — where the road now is. 
 
 The road thus proposed was laid out by the selectmen; but 
 the town, at a town-meeting held June 2, voted against accept- 
 ing it, and, by consequence, against building the house upon 
 the spot designated. At the same time, it was voted to build 
 a meetinghouse upon the schoolhouse hill, and to have it done 
 in a year from the next November. At an adjournment of this 
 meeting, on the 23d of June, a report of a committee, fixing 
 the spot ^ where the house was finally built, was accepted by 
 a vote of eighty to thirty-seven. This vote was decisive of the 
 matter, and the house was built accordingly. It was raised in 
 June, 1818. The raising occupied two or three days, and was 
 regarded as a momentous occasion. Former residents of the 
 town took that opportunity to revisit their kindred and friends, 
 
 ^ Not standing now. It was near the site of John A. Gleason's residence. — J. L. S. 
 * About on the site of Mrs. Farnham's summer residence. The present edifice was 
 built in 1852, and dedicated, March i, 1853. — J. L. S. 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 29 
 
 and the people of the neighboring towns flocked in to witness 
 the achievement. The house was built by Messrs. Cutting of 
 Templeton, Mass., and Kilburn of Fitzwilliam, and was fin- 
 ished in the course of the season. The dedication, which took 
 place on the 3d of December following, was very numerously 
 attended. The Rev. Thomas Beede of Wilton delivered the 
 sermon on that occasion. 
 
 After the death of Mr. Sprague, the pulpit was supplied by 
 several candidates. Mr. Levi W. Leonard commenced preach- 
 ing as a candidate on the first Sunday of April, 1820. In June 
 succeeding, he was invited to settle as the minister of the First 
 Congregational [Unitarian] Church and Society, and accepted 
 the invitation. His ordination took place, Sept. 6, 1820. The 
 sermon on the occasion was preached by the Rev. Henry Ware, 
 Sen., D.D., of Harvard University. 
 
 A Baptist church was organized in Dublin ^ in 1785. Elder 
 Elijah Willard was ordained, June 5, 1793. A meetinghouse 
 was built, soon after, upon the Bemis farm, where it stood 
 until recently, when it was removed further west, and fitted 
 up anew. Mr. Willard continued to preach till near the time 
 of his death, which took place in August, 1839, at the age 
 of eighty-eight vears. [See account of Baptist Church in 
 Chapter^IIL] 
 
 The Trinitarian Congregational Church was formed, No- 
 vember 21, 1827. Their meetinghouse^ was built in 1835. They 
 were supplied by different preachers, but had no settled minister 
 till October, 1840, when the Rev. Henry A. Kendall was or- 
 dained. He was dismissed, at his own request, in July, 1850; 
 and the Rev. Alonzo Hayes was installed in April following. 
 
 A Methodist meetinghouse was built ^ in the northwest part 
 of the town, about ten years ago.^ A part of the society are 
 inhabitants of Dublin, as are also some members of the re- 
 ligious society at Harrisville. 
 
 The first mention that is made of schools, in the town rec- 
 ords, is in July, 1773, when the town granted four pounds "to 
 keep a woman's school, to be kept in three parts of the town." 
 For the next three years, they granted six pounds a year, to be 
 laid out in like manner.

30 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 In 1778, it was voted to build two schoolhouses, one in the 
 northwest part of the town, the other in the east part. But it 
 seems they were never built, and it is presumed that, up to the 
 year 1784^ there was no schoolhouse in the town. In that year, 
 a vote was passed to build seven schoolhouses, at the cost 
 of the town. This vote was carried into effect, eventually, 
 though it was several years before the houses were all com- 
 pleted. The town voted one hundred fifty pounds for the 
 purpose, to be assessed and divided into seven equal parts, 
 and to "give each man liberty to work or find stuff for said 
 housen, to pay his rate." 
 
 A good deal of difficulty was experienced in fixing the location 
 of some of the schoolhouses, particularly that "for the street," 
 which was finally built by Moses Greenwood's,^ and that "for 
 the northwest part of the town." Instead of the one originally 
 provided for, it was determined, in 1791, to build two houses 
 in the northwest part, — one west of Eli Greenwood's,^ and 
 the other near Andrew Allison's.^ It was "voted that the select- 
 men shall prefix the places for said schoolhouses to be built by 
 the great; provided they don't give more than forty-five pound 
 for building both schoolhousen." Possibly the selectmen may 
 have felt constrained to leave the money to accumulate for a 
 time, — as it appears by the records that the house by Andrew 
 Allison's was not accepted by the town till 1799. In the mean 
 time the schoolhouse by Moses Greenwood's was given up, 
 and, in its stead, one was built in the middle of the town, and 
 another by Drury Morse's,^ in 1795. There were now nine 
 districts. The tenth was formed about the year 1805, by the 
 division of the northeast district. 
 
 The schoolhouses which were first built, it may safely be 
 presumed, were but rude structures, small in dimensions, 
 rough in workmanship, and inconvenient and uncomfortable 
 in their arrangements. They cost about thirty pounds, or a 
 hundred dollars, each, — several of them considerably less than 
 that sum. The two which it was first voted to build were to be 
 "25 by 20 feet." The town had but fairly got around with 
 building the schoolhouses, when it became necessary to repair 
 them; and, before many years, several of them required to be 
 renewed. At the March meeting in 1809, it was voted to build

ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 31 
 
 a new schoolhoiise in each district that was destitute of one. 
 Under this vote, it appears that houses were built in the south- 
 west district, the south, and the southeast, — at an average 
 cost of about one hundred seventy dollars. A house was built 
 by Drury Morse's^ in 1815, and in 1817 one ^ by EH Green- 
 wood's, and another^ by Eli Hamilton's. These houses cost 
 about two hundred twenty-five dollars apiece. 
 
 The grants of school money were at first very irregular. For 
 several years, there is no record of any money having been 
 raised. In 1787, the sum granted was fifty pounds, or $166.67. 
 It rose gradually in amount, but never exceeded three hundred 
 dollars, till 1805, when it was raised to four hundred fifty 
 dollars, which continued ever to be the sum till 1820. It should 
 be observed, however, that, prior to 1805, the board of the 
 teachers had always been paid by the town from its general 
 funds, and was not taken out of the school money. But, after 
 that time, each district was required to pay the board of its 
 teachers out of its proportion of the school money. 
 
 While the town paid for the board, the price was pretty uni- 
 formly four shillings a week for boarding a schoolmaster, and 
 two shillings and sixpence for a schoolmistress, until 1795, or 
 thereabouts, when it had come to be six shillings and four 
 shillings respectively. The wages paid to teachers can be 
 ascertained in but few instances. In 1788, Alexander Eames 
 was paid for two months five pounds four shillings, or eight 
 dollars and sixty-seven cents a month, which was probably 
 higher than the average price. In 1790, Samuel Appleton had 
 eight dollars a month, for nine weeks. It is said he was paid 
 in rye, which Mr. Ivory Perry carried to him at New Ipswich, 
 where he then lived. The same year, 1790, Sarah Twitchell 
 was paid for eight weeks, at the rate of forty-four cents a week, 
 — which was probably about the usual price for female teach- 
 ers at that time. It rose by degrees till about the year 1800, 
 from which time, for twenty-five or thirty years, the common 
 price was a dollar a week. 
 
 The school-fund of the town, derived mainly from the be- 
 quest of Mr. Sprague, and a small part from the proceeds of 
 sales of the school-lands, amounts now to upwards of $11,000. 
 The income of this fund became available in 1820, and has

 since been applied for the support of schools. From that time, 
 the town has never raised a school-tax, under that name; but 
 to the income of this fund, and the money received from the 
 state, known as the "Literary Fund," there has been added, 
 from the general funds of the town, suflBcient to make up the 
 sum divided, which has been sometimes one thousand dollars, 
 sometimes less, and, for the last three or four years, more than 
 that amount.^ 
 
 In 180G, Mr. Sprague and eleven others were chosen a com- 
 mittee to inspect the schools in the town. This is presumed to 
 have been the first school-committee. A like committee was 
 chosen in 1809, and again in 1818 and 1819. In 1821, as the 
 record shows, "The town chose the Rev. Levi W. Leonard, the 
 principal committee-man, to visit the schools in the several 
 districts, in this town, with the agent belonging to the district 
 which is to be visited, whose duty it is to inform Mr. Leonard 
 of the time he is desired to attend for that purpose." At the 
 March meeting in 1823, a report upon the schools was made to 
 the town. Every year since that time, a written report has 
 been prepared, which, with a single exception, has been read 
 in town-meeting, and for the last ten years has been printed 
 for the use of the inhabitants. Mr. Leonard has been upon 
 the school-committee every year since 1821. For many years 
 he was in the habit of visiting every school, summer and winter, 
 at its conmiencement and close, — a service which he never 
 failed to perform unless prevented by some necessity. The men 
 who, from year to year, have been associated with him upon 
 the committee, have generally been efficient and well qualified 
 for the duty; and altogether the schools of the town, for the 
 last thirty years, have had the benefit of a supervision, it may 
 safely be asserted, superior to that enjoyed by the schools of 
 any other town in the state. 
 
 The schools of Dublin have long been deservedly famed for 
 their excellence; and they may well be regarded by the inhabit- 
 ants of the town with emotions of mingled satisfaction and 
 pride. And it is but an act of simple justice in us, who have 
 enjoyed their advantages, here publicly to acknowledge our 
 
 ' These words were spoken in 1852. Since then the rate of interest has become much 
 lower. In U)ll, the income from the Sprague school-fund amounted to $679.44, Dub- 
 lin's share of the Literary Fund was $50.82, and Dublin's proportion of the state aid 
 was $156.25, making $886.51 derived from these three sources. To this must be added 
 the town appropriation of $2385, the sum of $200 raised by the "school district," 
 which now includes the entire township, and an unexpended dog-tax of $161.70, all of 
 which sources furnished $3633.21 for school purposes. — J. L. S. 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 33 
 
 especial obligations to their two principal benefactors, — to 
 the second minister of the town and to his successor, — of 
 whom, speaking generally, and without disparagement to 
 others, it may be truly said, the former furnished the capital, 
 the latter the labor, by the combined agency of which the 
 beautiful structure of our common schools was reared. 
 
 It has been the lot of the town, for the last half-century 
 nearly, instead of advancing, rather to retrograde, in point of 
 population and wealth. As an agricultural town, which almost 
 exclusively it has been, its soil, comparatively sterile and hard 
 of cultivation, yields a comfortable subsistence but to the most 
 patient, persevering industry, and downright hard work. 
 Richer soils and milder climate have lured many to engage in 
 agriculture elsewhere, while many more have been withdrawn 
 to follow other pursuits. From these causes, whether to their 
 own advantage always it were useless here to incjuire, it has 
 happened, that a large proportion, especially of those in the 
 prime and vigor of life, have, of late, left the homes of their 
 youth to seek their fortunes in other scenes. Scattered all 
 through the wide domain of our country may be found the 
 sons and daughters of Dublin, pursuing their various avoca- 
 tions. 
 
 But, wherever they may be, whatever may be their pursuits, 
 truth, I believe, will warrant the assertion, that seldom, indeed, 
 have they been known to bring dishonor upon the place of their 
 birth. The habits of industry, economy, and sobriety, of staid, 
 correct deportment, of honesty and integrity, of kindness and 
 humanity, to which they were here trained, they very gener- 
 ally still retain with a firm grasp, and exercise in their adopted 
 homes; so that, however this constant drain upon its population 
 may have diminished the industrial energies, and impaired the 
 prosperity, of the town, there is yet the reflection, that the 
 force thus withdrawn has not been lost, but has been brought 
 to bear perhaps with more effect, and where it was more needed. 
 
 The apparent natural disadvantages under which the town 
 has labored have not been wholly without resulting advantages. 
 Our rigorous climate is nevertheless, in the main, healthful and 
 invigorating, fitted to produce a hardy, robust, energetic 
 people. Our stubborn soil, while it has demanded of its in- 
 habitants unremitting labor to insure a livelihood, has, at least, 
 albeit in a measure by necessity, saved them from indolence, 
 extravagance, and many of the temptations to vice, and has 
 inured them to habits of industry, frugality, and virtue. This 
 
34 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 state of things, though not altogether the most agreeable, it 
 admits not of a doubt, is more conducive alike to the happiness 
 and the permanent welfare of a people than the possession of 
 the richest soil, if coupled with its usual, though not neces- 
 sary, concomitants, — idleness, dissipation, and low amuse- 
 ments. 
 
 To an indifferent observer, regarding merely its rugged, 
 rocky surface, its bleak hills, its piercing winds, and drifting 
 snows, our town might seem to possess few attractions. But 
 to us, in whose minds its memories are intertwined with so much 
 that is dearest in life, it may be permitted to regard it with 
 sentiments such as we cherish towards no other place. Here we 
 first awoke to conscious being. Here we first experienced alike 
 the joys and the sorrows of sentient, rational life. Here were 
 the homes of our early years. Here are the graves of our 
 fathers. 
 
 Neither, by any means, is the town devoid of scenes of nat- 
 ural beauty and objects of interest. Witness the grandeur of 
 its forests, studded with majestic trees, in the summer crowned 
 with verdant foliage, which, touched by the autumnal frosts, 
 assumes such richly variegated yet sombre hues; in the winter, 
 standing, snow-imbedded, with their naked arms battling the 
 fury of the blast; or on a bright morning, after one of those 
 storms of mingled snow and hail, sleet and rain, see every 
 branch and twig, cased in transparent ice, flashing in the sun- 
 light, with all the shifting colors of the rainbow. Mark the 
 rugged hills, the deep, secluded dells, the cultivated fields, the 
 ponds, embosomed in dense, wild woods, or opening upon 
 cleared grounds. Where, for instance, can be found a sheet of 
 water more beautiful than the old "meetinghouse pond," with 
 its cool, crystal waters and clear, sandy shore, so congenial to 
 its delicious inhabitant, the trout; with its glassy surface now 
 sleeping in the sparkling sunshine, now uplifted by the winds 
 in tiny, silver-crested waves .f^ 
 
 Here, too, we have the Monadnock, rising in cold, proud, 
 isolated grandeur, an emblem at once of the essential stability 
 and the superficial changes of nature. Its rugged sides, now 
 compact of bald, cragged rock, were formerly covered with 
 trees almost to its summit. But, years ago, the ravening fire, 
 kindled whether by accident or design, spread over a great part 
 of the superior portion of the mountain, killing every tree and 
 shrub wherever it went. The dead trees, decaying and falling, 
 furnished materials for another conflagration, which occurred 
 
ADDRESS OF CHARLES MASON 35 
 
 within the memory of many of us. Some thirty years ago, in 
 the latter part of a dry summer, the fire from a clearing on the 
 side of the mountain made its way up to the higher regions, 
 where, feeding upon the decayed wood, and nourished by the 
 wind and the drought, it extended itself over almost the entire 
 northern side. As the daylight paled, giving place to the dark- 
 ness of night, there might be seen from out the dense sea of 
 livid, flame-tinged smoke, in which the mountain was enveloped 
 by day, countless fires lighting up all along the extended range, 
 glowing with a more vivid brightness as the darkness thick- 
 ened, until the whole mountain-side blazed with its myriad 
 tongues of waving flame. It was a spectacle beautiful and 
 grand in itself, but rendered sublime and awful by the thought 
 of the dread power of the devouring element, and of the terrible 
 destruction that must ensue, if, the wind and the drought con- 
 tinuing, it should burst its mountain barrier, and invade the 
 domain of man. But fortunately, before such a catastrophe 
 was reached, a drenching rain extinguished the fire, and thus 
 put an end at once to the grandeur and the terror of the scene. 
 
 Here, formerly, in the mountain fastnesses, wild beasts had 
 their haunts, whence they issued forth, making havoc and 
 devastation of the cattle and flocks and crops. When wearied 
 out, at length, by their repeated depredations, or stimulated 
 by the love of adventure, the hardy yeomen of the contiguous 
 towns, with their muskets and other weapons of offence, by a 
 concerted movement, were wont to turn out, and surround the 
 mountain, carrying destruction into their places of fancied 
 security. In later days, the adventurous fox-hunter, mounted 
 upon his clumsy snow-shoes, following his hounds in pursuit of 
 the wary game, braving the intensest cold, has often been led to 
 a weary chase over the Monadnock's snow-buried sides. 
 
 The summit of the mountain, standing lofty and lonely, has 
 ever been watched with interest, as an index of the weather. 
 Enshrouded in dense clouds, or veiled in impenetrable mist, it 
 bespeaks the present genius of the impending storm. There, 
 too, dwells the hidden force, which, in the sultry heats of sum- 
 mer, attracts the cloud, "surcharged with wrathful vapor," 
 from whose dark bosom darts the crinkling lightning, and the 
 descending thunder-bolt bursts, shivering the rocks, cleaving 
 deep fissures, or tumbling huge fragments down the precipices. 
 
 Neither should we omit to mention the brightness and beauty 
 of the sunlight, which, in a clear evening, lingers around the 
 top of the mountain, as if loath to depart; nor the glittering 
 
36 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 display, when, on a winter's afternoon, the scattered slanting 
 rays of the descending sun are thrown from the surface of the 
 ice-encrusted snow; nor yet the cold, dazzling brilliancy which, 
 in a winter's sunrise, encircles its snowy head ; nor, finally, that 
 more enchanting sight, vouchsafed to imagination's credulous 
 vision, which, in the soft beauty of a moonlit summer's evening, 
 was charmed with the pure light of the flaming, storied car- 
 buncle . 
 
 Amidst these rude and primitive aspects of nature, not desti- 
 tute of beauty and grandeur, but in which, nevertheless, the 
 stern, the hard, and the real so strongly predominate, our town 
 has reared a race of plain, earnest, unpretending, matter-of- 
 fact men, of good common sense, of solidity of character, in- 
 dustrious and frugal, exempt in a good measure from the frivoli- 
 ties and vices, while wanting in the graces and adornments, of 
 a more refined, polished, and luxurious state of society; men 
 who, as a general thing, may with considerable confidence be 
 relied upon to he more than they 'profess, to do more than they 
 promise. 
 
 And now my part in the performances of this day at length 
 draws to its close. The occasion, which has brought us together, 
 as it is to us wholly novel, is one of the like of which not an in- 
 dividual here present shall witness the recurrence. It is an oc- 
 casion which, appealing to early and happy recollections, has 
 led many a wanderer back, to witness once more scenes long 
 unvisited, not forgotten; and to meet kindred and friends from 
 whom he has been separated by years of absence. Many of 
 us, who went out from this our birthplace, are here. Many 
 more, who went forth with us, have not returned, nor ever shall; 
 whilst of multitudes whom we left here, aye, of some who set 
 out in life long after ourselves, "time's effacing fingers" are 
 already obliterating the inscriptions upon their tombstones. 
 Let us accept with gratitude the occasion which has drawn to- 
 gether so many of the living, to interchange friendly greetings, 
 chastened though our joy must needs be, and tinged with a 
 shade of melancholy, by the remembrance of the absent dead, 
 and the consciousness of the ravages of time.

 movable seats for the aisles of the church. Voted to meet at 
 the town-house on the day of celebration, at nine o'clock, a.m. 
 
 June 15, tlie Committee of Arrangements met, and chose 
 Jonathan K. Smith, Luke Richardson, and Jacob Gleason to 
 assign the several religious exercises of the day to the different 
 clergymen present. Requested the selectmen to appoint a suit- 
 able number of constables to act, if necessary, on the day of 
 celebration. 
 
 Calvin j\Iason was appointed to act on the day of celebration 
 as a member of the Committee of Arrangements, in place of 
 Jonathan K. Smith, who was to act as President of the day.

 Pierce, Capt. Joseph Evleth, Capt. Dexter Mason, Capt. 
 Jason Phelps, Capt. Curtis Smith, Capt. Henry C. Piper, Capt. 
 Joseph W. Powers, and Mr. Lyman Russell. 
 
 June 17, 1852, the Committee met at 8 o'clock, a.m., and 
 voted, that, as the meetinghouse cannot convene the numerous 
 assemblage, the procession, when formed, march immediately 
 to the grove, and occupy the seats there for the exercises of the 
 day. 
 
 The national flag was kindly furnished for the occasion by 
 Mr. James G. Piper of Boston; and its ample folds were spread 
 to the breeze on "Meetinghouse Hill," at an early hour, amid 
 the firing of cannon and other marks of rejoicing. 
 
 A large inscription, extending across the front of the meeting- 
 house, was furnished by Messrs. Orlando and Charles Marshal, 
 in the following words : — 
 
 "we welcome the absent sons and daughters of DUBLIN 
 TO THEIR native HOME" 
 
 The interior of the church was neatly and very tastefully 
 ornamented with evergreens, etc., for the occasion. 
 
 At half-past nine o'clock, the procession was formed on the 
 common in front of the meetinghouse, in the following order,

 At ten o'clock, the procession marched to the grove, where, 
 under the direction of the Table Committee, seats were pro- 
 vided for over two thousand persons, arranged in semicircular 
 form, with the speakers' stand, and platform for band and 
 singers, in the centre, and the tables on each wing, extending 
 about ten rods from the centre, in front. The seats were all 
 filled, and many were obliged to stand during the exercises. 
 
 The vast assembly having been seated, and called to order 
 by the President of the day in a short address, the exercises 
 were conducted according to the following programme : — -

 A century has wrought! 
 With deeds, events, and doings strange, 
 
 Its passing years are fraught. 
 Stern old Monadnock, 'mid a flock 
 
 Of hillocks great and small. 
 Reared then, as now, his crown of rock. 
 
 The monarch of them all. 
 
 "But o'er the landscape round him spread 
 No human dwellings rise: 
 One mighty forest lifts its head 
 Exulting to the skies.

 But, as our fathers, here and there, 
 
 Among the groves are seen. 
 Ere long tlieir rude log-huts appear, 
 
 And fields arrayed in green. 
 
 "And lo! these lowly homes to grace, 
 
 Fond fetnale hearts incline; 
 To rear, in this then distant place. 
 
 Affection's magic shrine. 
 Thus gloomy forests disaj^pear. 
 
 And homes their joys impart. 
 Whence merry childhood's words of cheer 
 
 Come ringing to the heart. 
 
 "Time passes on; and years of toil 
 
 Their pressing wants supply. 
 Drawn from the treasures of the soil 
 
 By sturdy industry. 
 And yet their views were not confined 
 
 To things of earthly need: 
 They saw neglected soul and mind 
 
 Might make them poor indeed. 
 
 "And soon the church, in modest pride, 
 
 Adorns the forest glade; 
 And then the schoolhouse, by its side, 
 
 Sends forth its timely aid. 
 The church and schoolhouse still are ours. 
 
 By our wise fathers giv'en: 
 This can unfold our mental powers; 
 
 That, point the way to heaven."

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 43 
 
 AFTERNOON 
 
 Order being restored, the afternoon exercises were as follows, 
 viz. : — 
 
 1. Music by the band. 
 
 2. The President called for the first sentiment, which was as 
 follows : 
 
 "The First Centennial of Dublin. — An occasion of 'welcome 
 home ' to our friends from abroad, of solemn reflection for the past, of 
 hopeful anticipations for the future." 
 
 To this sentiment the President of the day, Jonathan K. 
 Smith, responded as follows: — 
 
 It becomes my pleasing duty, as the organ of my fellow- 
 townsmen, to extend to our former townsmen, who have come 
 up here to unite with us on this interesting occasion, a cordial 
 ''welcome home.'' And I am sure I do but express the unanimous 
 wish of the people of Dublin, when I give them more than a 
 mere formal reception here. Welcome, thrice welcome, my 
 friends, to our festival; welcome to our homes and our hearts! 
 [Three cheers.] We thank you, brethren, for leaving your 
 homes and your several occupations, to cheer us by your 
 presence, and animate us by your words of counsel, encour- 
 agement, or admonition. And I trust the occasion will be im- 
 proved to the utmost in social intercourse, and in communing 
 with each other; and that a friendly, fraternal feeling like the 
 electric current, will pass freely from heart to heart, till the 
 whole assembly is pervaded by its benign and heaven-born 
 influence. 
 
 The occasion naturally suggests a retrospective view of the 
 past. We have arrived at one of those eminences in the path- 
 way of life, whence we can look back through a long vista of 
 years. In the dim distance we see, first, a single family coming 
 over the line from the east, and commencing the settlement of 
 the town. One by one, the sturdy pioneers arrive; and we see 
 their settlements scattered here and there amidst the dense 
 wilderness that surrounds them. 
 
 Gradually, their encroachments upon the domain of the for- 
 est become visible; and, at length, broad fields and waving 
 harvests minister to their necessities, and supply their urgent 
 wants. The venerable forms of our fathers and mothers rise up 
 before us, in their honest simplicity of character; and we be- 
 
44 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 hold with admiration their strenuous and persevering efforts 
 to change the wilderness to blooming fields for the benefit of 
 their descendants. Their earnest, self-denying exertions, their 
 daily and severe privations, their toils and hardships for the 
 welfare of coming generations, bespeak our admiration for 
 them as men, and invite our gratitude towards them as public 
 benefactors. 
 
 When we contemplate the great disadvantages, both physical 
 and mental, which they had to encounter, and compare, or 
 rather contrast, these with the present state of things, we can 
 scarcely fail of being grateful to a kind Providence, that our lot 
 was cast in more favored times, and under more auspicious 
 circumstances. 
 
 Surrounded as we are with the necessaries, the luxuries, and 
 conveniences of life, it is difficult for us to conceive the hardships 
 and privations to which they were subjected. Without roads 
 or carriages, or even beasts of burden, their own brawny 
 shoulders bore the grain to the distant mill, with no other guide 
 than marks upon the trees. With the lofty forests frowning 
 upon them on every side, it was their mission to "go ahead" 
 with their own powers of locomotion, and "make the wilder- 
 ness blossom as the rose." 
 
 A century has elapsed since the incipient settlement of this 
 town. During this period, what changes have occurred! How 
 different the aspect of everything around us! Yonder moun- 
 tain, indeed, still presents its serene brow to invite our contem- 
 plation, and the smiling lakelet at its foot still mirrors the 
 benignant heaven above it; but all else how changed! Our 
 fathers and mothers, — where are they.^ Their bodies mingle 
 with the dust of yonder "village of graves"; their spirits are 
 with Him who gave them. And with them have passed away 
 the primitive habits and manners and customs which then pre- 
 vailed. These have given place to other customs and usages; 
 in some respects far better, in others not so good. 
 
 The century we are reviewing has been distinguished for 
 rapid advances in the arts and sciences. Art has been the 
 handmaid of science, and science has directed the labors of art, 
 until results almost miraculous have been realized. We har- 
 ness steam to our carriages, and fly, as on the w^ngs of the 
 wind, along our iron roads. The broad Atlantic has been shorn 
 of its dimensions, and Europe brought almost within hail of 
 our shores. And the very lightning has been disarmed of its 
 thunder-bolts, and is sent as an errand-boy to do our bidding. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 45 
 
 The means of mental improvement here have been almost in- 
 finitely multiplied. The log schoolhoiise has given place to the 
 elegant structure; the four-pound appropriation has gone up 
 to more than three hundred; and, instead of a school in three 
 places, "the schoolmaster has been abroad" through the length 
 and breadth of the town. Have the intelligence and virtue of 
 the present generation kept pace with their far greater privi- 
 leges .f^ Happy will it be for us if the shades of our fathers do not 
 rise up and condemn us for a misuse of the ten talents committed 
 to our keeping. 
 
 What changes have occurred in the nations and governments 
 of the earth during the period now under consideration! 
 Thrones and dynasties have tottered and fallen; nations have 
 been swept away by its unceasing current; and others, then 
 unknown, have come into being, and risen to power. . The 
 whole life of Bonaparte has been comprised within it, and the 
 public life of Washington is included in the first half of it ; — 
 the one sweeping, meteor-like, across the political firmament, 
 consumed by its own brightness; and the other, the pole-star 
 of liberty, towards which the eyes of the nations are still turned 
 in admiration and hope, — striking examples for warning or 
 imitation. 
 
 But the century, with all its scenes and events, is now among 
 the things that were. Its successive generations of men have 
 come upon the stage and passed off, in the fulfilment of na- 
 ture's law, and we are left in their places. We, too, must suc- 
 cessively yield our places in life to others. 
 
 The youngest among us cannot hope to witness the second 
 centennial of Dublin. Long ere that shall come, this whole con- 
 gregation will "sleep the sleep that knows no waking" on 
 earth. What is to transpire during the coming century cannot 
 be foretold, and it is useless to conjecture. From what has 
 taken place in the past, we may reasonably expect an accel- 
 erated progress in the several departments of art and science 
 and discovery. Let us hope it will also be fruitful of means for 
 improving the physical, intellectual, social, and moral con- 
 dition of man. If this town is "a good one to emigrate from," 
 let the specimens we send abroad testify to our faithfulness in 
 educating them; and may those remaining here ever sustain 
 the reputation of our common mother, so that the former may 
 not blush to own the place of their nativity. 
 
 Once more, my friends, I welcome you to your native 
 town.

 4. The following letter from Aaron Appleton, Esq., of 
 Keene, was read : — 
 
 Keene, June 7, 1852. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 
 15th ult., inviting me to attend the celebration of the hundredth an- 
 niversary of the settlement of the town of Dublin, on Thursday, the 
 17th inst. 
 
 Be pleased, gentlemen, to accept my sincere thanks for this mark 
 of your attention. The object proposed by the people of Dublin, 
 which will assemble together natives of the town and persons who 
 have resided there, as well as others, meets my cordial aj^probation. 
 It is now many years since I resided in Dublin; but I have oftentimes 
 visited it, and have always taken an interest in its welfare and prosper- 
 ity. It would afford me much pleasure to join in the festivities of the 
 occasion. I regret to say, however, that my ill health will not permit 
 me to accept your polite invitation. 
 
 With best wishes for the success of the celebration, and for your 
 own personal happiness, I remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, 
 
 Your friend and servant, 
 
 Aaron Appleton. 
 
 Messrs. Jonathan K. Smith, Asa H. Fisk, and Ransom N. Porter, 
 Committee of Invitation. 
 
 5. The second sentiment was read: — 
 
 "The Primitive Inhabitants of Dublin. — Simple in manner 
 wise in deliberation, energetic and persevering in action, — their 
 hardships and their virtues have consecrated their memories to the 
 admiration of posterity, and should lead us to prize the privileges we 
 enjoy."

 Letter from Thomas Hardy, Esq. : — 
 
 Dover, July 5, 1852. 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 I received your circular, inviting me to attend your centennial 
 celebration in Dublin on the 17th ult., the 2d inst. Of course, it was 
 rather too late to be present on that occasion. It bears the post-mark 
 of June 4. The postmaster informed me it arrived the preceding 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 47 
 
 evening; so that it must either have slept in some office several weeks, 
 or have been carried round "Robin Hood's barn" the same length of 
 time. I assure you, gentlemen, nothing would have given me greater 
 pleasure than to have taken a part in that social and festive meeting. 
 To have been there would have brought fresh to my recollection 
 scenes that are now numbered with things past and gone, and which 
 "the memory fondly delights to recall." Had I been present on that 
 occasion, I should probably have met some of my old contemporaries 
 and friends, with whom I was once well acquainted, though most of 
 them have immerged in the ocean of eternity. I rejoice that "Dub- 
 lin is what she is"; and that the cause of education is "still upward 
 and onward," receiving aid from patriotic fathers and matron moth- 
 ers. I have seen a laconic account of your celebration in the "prints"; 
 and, judging from that, conclude you had a splendid one. I would 
 like to see it more in detail, which I presume might be found in a 
 Keene paper. Accept, gentlemen, my cordial thanks for your polite 
 invitation, while I am thine, in every laudable undertaking, 
 
 Thos. Hardy.

 Committee of Invitation. 
 
 6. Third regular sentiment: — 
 
 "Our Revolutionary Soldiers. — Their names may not have 
 come down to us to be entwined with laurel; but the work of their 
 hands survives, — a crown of glory to the people, a star of hope to 
 the nations." 
 
 Quartette — "Hail, Ye Heroes," etc. 
 
 Mr. Lawson Belknap made some interesting extemporane- 
 ous remarks, interspersed with anecdotes, showing the spirit 
 and energy displayed by the people of this town during the 
 War of the Revolution, and the dangers and hardships en- 
 countered in defence of the country. 
 
 The following sentiment was sent by John Elliot, Esq., of 
 Keene, formerly of Dublin : — 
 
 "The Patriots of Bunker's Hill — Among whom, seventy- 
 seven years ago this day, my father, and the fathers or grandfathers 
 of many of you, struck the first blow for the freedom of their homes: 
 may the memory of their virtue and devotion be with us, as abiding 
 and ennobling as the hills that shadow their graves." 
 
 7. Fourth sentiment: — 
 
 "Our Forefathers. — The times in which they lived may be 
 sneered at as the ^old pod auger times.' The men themselves may be 
 
48 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 laughed at, for carrying a stone in one end of the sack to balance the 
 grain in the other; but well would it be for those who deride them to 
 imitate their many good qualities. Though humble, yet they were 
 virtuous and respectable." 
 
 Chorus — "Hail, Happy Day," etc. 
 
 Samuel Morse, Esq., of Croydon, formerly of Dublin, re- 
 sponded to this sentiment, and had spoken but a few minutes 
 when a clap of thunder admonished the assembly to seek some 
 better shelter than the dense foliage of the grove. They accord- 
 ingly adjourned to the meetinghouse and held the remaining 
 exercises there. Mr. Morse declined saying more; and, from 
 the peculiar circumstances, no notes w^ere taken of what he did 
 say. 
 
 By Daniel Elliot, M.D. : — 
 
 "The Memory of the Three Morses. — Deacon Eli, Squire 
 Reuben, and Major John: worthy specimens of the 'primary granite 
 formation of the town of Dublin; may 'chips of the old block' never 
 be wanting among you." 
 
 Letter of Rev. Abiel Abbot, D.D.: — 
 
 Peterborough, June 12, 1852. 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 I thank you for the invitation to attend the celebration of the 
 hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Dublin. If the infirmi- 
 ties of fourscore and six years permit, I shall gladly attend. [He did 
 attend.] 
 
 It gives me high satisfaction that the people of Dublin propose to 
 hold a centennial celebration commemorative of the settlement of 
 the town. The hardships, privations, and dangers which the first 
 settlers endured ought to be remembered; and the courage, fortitude, 
 self-denial, and patient toil which they exercised ought never to be 
 forgotten. The first third of the century was peculiarly trying. Severe 
 labor, hard fare, provisions scarce and distant, camp in the woods, 
 bad or no roads, few in number, exposed to cruel savages in the French 
 War of 1755, sufferings in the Revolutionary War, able-bodied men 
 called to the army, money scarce or depreciated, were some of the 
 difficulties to be encountered. Having been born in the woods, some 
 of these trials are fresh in my memory, others were repeated by those 
 who endured them. 
 
 The second third of the century was less trying. Labor was less 
 severe, farms and buildings were greatly improved, the number of 
 inhabitants increased, roads made and improved, and plenty and 
 prosperity enjoyed. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 49 
 
 The last third of the century has been attended with great improve- 
 ment and prosperity. Farms have been well cultivated, houses built 
 and repaired, convenience and comfort have been sought, the im- 
 provement of the roads has claimed much attention and labor, and 
 the value of property has been increased. 
 
 Much has been successfully done for the social, intellectual, moral, 
 and religious education of the young. The districts are supplied with 
 good and convenient schoolhouses, teachers are well qualified, parents 
 and others regard the schools with deeper interest, and are ready to 
 furnish facilities for their improvement. 
 
 The Sunday-school has been well attended, and been very bene- 
 ficial in forming the moral and religious character of the rising genera- 
 tions. Valuable libraries are provided for the young, and for those 
 who have ceased to resort to the schoolhouse for instruction. The 
 church has been ably and faithfully supplied, and been well attended; 
 and harmony and peace have been enjoyed in the town. 
 
 For the last quarter of the century past, I have, with much satis- 
 faction, witnessed the constant improvement in Dublin; especially in 
 what pertains to the social, moral, and religious culture of the young. 
 I cordially congratulate the people on the present prosperous condi- 
 tion and prospects of the town, and I rejoice to believe that they will 
 continue to advance in what is excellent and praiseworthy. 
 
 Wishing, gentlemen, that you may have a joyous and happy cele- 
 bration, I am respectfully your friend, 
 
 Abiel Abbot.

 8. Fifth sentiment: — 
 
 "Our Foremothers. — Their spinning-jenny spun but one thread; 
 their power-loom was propelled by their own muscles; their piano 
 'discoursed sweet music' from the linen-wheel; their pleasure-carriage, 
 the old horse with saddle and pillion ; their tea and coffee, an infusion 
 of pork and beans, — models for wives, patterns for mothers." 
 
 Song — "Our Glorious Yankee Nation" 
 
 Communication from Dr. Ebenezer Morse of Walpole: — 
 
 Mr. President, — At the invitation of your committee, I 
 have come once more to revisit my native hills, survey the 
 beautiful prospects, admire the crystal ponds, and listen to the 
 melody of the murmuring streams. These, I find, retain all 
 their pristine beauty with which they were clothed sixty-seven 
 years ago, when I first inhaled the pure atmosphere which 
 always plays around these beautiful heights between Merrimack 
 
50 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 and Connecticut Rivers. I have come also to mingle my con- 
 gratulations with other residents of this my native town on 
 this exhilarating festival. 
 
 After an absence of more than forty years, it is to be expected 
 that I should see many new faces; and I find it so. Not one in a 
 hundred is familiar to my eye. Our fathers and mothers meet 
 us here no more; our brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, 
 have mostly gone to distant lands, or are grown out of our rec- 
 ognition. Where are the Greenwoods, skilful workers of wood 
 and iron, whose faces we used to see every Sunday? Where 
 are the different families of Twitchells, that we were accus- 
 tomed to see holding the breaking-up plough or tending mills .^ 
 Where are the INIorses and Masons, whose mingled blood flows 
 in my veins, and whose presence we were always sure to greet 
 on every public day.^ 
 
 Alas! yonder gravestones can silently tell 
 
 The place where their bodies now peaceably dwell. 
 
 On visiting my native place, my memory is clustered with a 
 thousand recollections dear to my heart; and if I revert to 
 them on this occasion, before responding to the sentiment that 
 was last read, I trust I shall be pardoned for the digression. 
 
 There 's a witching enchantment in that little grove 
 Where we children and lambs in the shade loved to rove, 
 Till "old crazy Stanford" was seen there one day. 
 Which spoiled all our innocent frolic and play. 
 The rocks in the fields where we labored can show 
 The marks of the harrow, plough, shovel, and hoe. 
 I can see all the brooks where the trout used to play, 
 The meadows and ponds where we fished and made hay; 
 Can hear the shrill notes of the loon, which so fond 
 Is calling her mate from a neighboring pond. 
 
 That primitive church, alas ! where is it now. 
 Where our fathers and mothers in faith loved to bow? 
 By the side of Beech Mountain for years it had stood — 
 Recording the prayers of the pious and good. 
 I remember the pews with their pretty turned slats, 
 And the posts where the men used to hang up their hats. 
 These last were a happy resort for the head, 
 And lengthened the naps when long sermons were read. 
 But the music awoke every one to admire, 
 When they heard Ensign Twitchell lead off in the quire. 
 That christening-font very seldom was dry, 
 Where Christ, with his blessing on children, was nigh. 
 Here Sprague taught the truths which religion adorn, 
 And left all his treasures for children unborn. 
 
^o^.-..

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 51 
 
 That bright crystal spring near the church never dried, 
 Where we boys ate bread and cheese by its side. 
 Here we spent our long noonings, of which we were fond. 
 And picked the sweet berries that grew round the pond. 
 
 But these scenes to which I have alluded have mostly passed 
 away; still memory lingers aroimd those spots in which youth 
 has so many hallowed associations. But one object, and a very 
 prominent one, in the features of Dublin scenery, remains very 
 little altered during the last fifty years, or even the last six 
 thousand years; and that is old Monadnock. 
 
 There he stands, gazing far up in the sky, 
 Expecting a kiss from the clouds that pass by. 
 His head is quite bald, and has been growing gray 
 Since Adam and Eve saw the light of day. 
 His nightcap of fog always keeps on his head, 
 Till all the damp clouds to the ocean have fled. 
 His jacket and coat that he formerly wore. 
 Composed of short spruces, are seen there no more; 
 In a fire with high wind he once happened to lose 'em, 
 And the brilliant carbuncle he wore in his bosom. 
 
 In these tangled forests the wolves used to roam. 
 And howl through the woods when their whelps were half grown ; 
 And well I remember when my uncle Ben 
 Brought three home alive, which he took from their den. 
 And many a sheep, from their ravenous bite, 
 Have had their blood sucked from their throats in one night. 
 But a wolf hunt is called from the neighboring towns. 
 They take up their march with a whoop and a hollo! 
 And a ring of sharp-shooters the mountain surrounds. 
 The hounds take the lead, and the hunters all follow; 
 But the wolves were too cunning, so hide in their den. 
 And never were seen by the hounds or the men. 
 All the game of the hunt is a great lazy bear. 
 Whose flesh, when well roasted, the company share. 
 
 But our mothers must now claim our especial attention. 
 Mine was born one hundred two years ago, was married at 
 sixteen, and, at the commencement of the Revolutionary 
 War, had four children. Notwithstanding this care on her 
 hands, she was ready and willing to assist in getting the hay 
 while my father was in the army; and was also compelled to 
 listen to the roar of the cannon, as it came from the plains of 
 Bennington, where her husband was fighting the battles of his 
 country's freedom. And I have heard old Mr. Johnson say, 
 that, on the I7th of June, seventy-seven years ago to-day, he 
 was half -hilling his corn; and, every time he stopped to rest on 
 
52 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 his hoe-handle, he could hear the distant roar of the cannon, 
 which was then dealing death on the heights of Bunker Hill. 
 These were times that truly tried men's souls, and women's 
 souls too; for they knew not but the very same cannon were 
 making themselves widows, and their children fatherless. 
 
 But fortitude, courage, and freedom were there. 
 Which the men and the women must equally share. 
 
 In the sentiment that has been read, allusion has been made 
 to the old-fashioned pillion. These, in every sense of the word, 
 were pleasure carriages, and the only ones in use till 1813. In 
 parties of pleasure, as well as of business, they were considered 
 both safe and commodious. Dr. Caustic, who wrote more 
 than fifty years ago, describing a fancy ball, says : — 
 
 "My girl, the prettiest of a million. 
 Shall ride behind me on a pillion." 
 
 And it was no unusual sight to see a couple start for a ball in 
 that pleasant and cozy mode of conveyance. In one instance 
 which I witnessed, a skittish horse was so frightened with the 
 white dress, pink sash, and flowing ribbons of the ball dress, 
 that he could not be brought within six feet of the object of his 
 fears; but the young belle had the ability to leap from the top 
 bar of a four-rail fence, and land herself safely on the pillion; 
 and, when her arm was fairly round the waist of her beau, 
 there was no danger of being thrown; for the more the horse 
 reared, and the faster he cantered, the tighter she clung to the 
 object of her affections. 
 
 But by a good substantial horse-block, with which every 
 dooryard was furnished, the ascent and descent to and from 
 these pleasure carriages was rendered both easy and commodi- 
 ous. There was one, always in repair, at each end of the old 
 meetinghouse, for public use; and I have heard my father say 
 that, when he and mother started from church, the old mare 
 never broke her trot, up hill and down, till they got home. And, 
 after the introduction of four-wheeled carriages, you could not 
 persuade a prudent woman, who had for fifteen or twenty years 
 enjoyed the safe and easy seat of a pillion, to expose herself to 
 the danger and complicated movements of a wagon under the 
 price of a broken neck. 
 
 Our mothers also knew how to make bean-porridge, and 
 alwavs recommended it by example as well as by precept. It 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 53 
 
 was a standard dish for supper, and never produced the night- 
 mare, which is the effect of many dishes now in use. It was a 
 fancy dish too; so much so as to be put into rhyme, and every 
 child was taught to sing : — 
 
 "Bean-porridge hot, bean-porridge cold, 
 Bean-porridge in the pot nine days old," 
 
 accompanied with clapping of hands with as much zest as 
 "Old Dan Tucker" or "Uncle Ned" are at the present day. 
 But, when I came upon the stage, bread and cider and milk 
 porridge took the place of the fancy dish of our fathers and 
 mothers, and finally banished the porridge pot from the chim- 
 ney corner, where it usually stood with its contents unexhausted 
 for at least nine days. 
 
 The last view we shall take of our mothers must be ^t the 
 musical spinning-wheel. There they spun but one thread at a 
 time; but that was a long one and a strong one. It happily 
 resembled the thread of life, which they spun to a good old 
 age. This, too, was even, smooth, strong, and enduring; 
 never got tangled or snarled with the petty jars which too often 
 disturb the votaries of a fashionable life. 
 
 A daughter's outfit at her marriage, in those days, was con- 
 sidered incomplete without a spinning-wheel. xAnd why should 
 it not be, since, without that useful instrument of domestic 
 industry, their children must have gone without shirts .^^ There 
 were no "factory girls" then; but all the women were manu- 
 factory girls, and scarcely an article of clothing was used in the 
 family that was not spun and wove by the skill and industry of 
 females. There was no muslin to work but that made of flax 
 and wool, no embroidery but that wrought in the checkered 
 apron, no cushions to stuff but the pillion, no gymnastics but 
 the wheel and loom, no pound-cake to cook but that made of 
 rye and Indian, no lacing cords but the woolen apron strings. 
 And what were the physical results.'^ Why, rosy cheeks, spark- 
 ling eyes, vigorous minds, strong muscles, good appetite, hardy 
 constitutions, courageous hearts, and kind souls. Compare 
 the effeminacy of our present fashionable females with the 
 hardy, healthy, enduring, and useful mothers of fifty years 
 ago; and then think what will be the helpless condition of the 
 females of the next hundred years, if they suffer themselves to 
 continue under the deteriorating influence of custom, fashions, 
 and the false pretensions of refinement. The persevering in- 
 dustry, the frugal economy, the useful employment, and 
 
54 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 energy of character of our mothers ought to be written on the 
 hearts of the present generation as an everlasting memorial of 
 departed worth, and recorded in the town records for an ad- 
 monition to those who shall celebrate the next centennial 
 festival of Dublin. 
 
 But I have something more to say about the musical foot- 
 wheel, the mention of which reminds me of a short chapter in 
 my own history, which I beg the privilege to abbreviate. 
 
 Forty-eight years ago, I wrote a sonnet, describing the per- 
 sonal beauties, the mental accomplishments, but more particu- 
 larly the industrious habits and admirable skill, of a certain 
 young lady, with whose united charms I was more than half in 
 love. She is probably present now, lives in this town, has a 
 family of children, and no doubt makes a good wife. I must 
 further add, that I never had the courage to show her the son- 
 net: had I done so, the destiny of both of us might have been 
 materially altered through life. I do not recollect all that I 
 wrote of her domestic qualifications; but one couplet, relating 
 to the foot-wheel, is still fresh in my memory, which I will 
 
 repeat : — 
 
 " With merry heart I saw her twist off 
 The magic thread from her pine distaff." 
 
 I make this quotation from one of my juvenile productions, 
 not on account of its poetical beauties, or to refresh the mem- 
 ory of one I so much esteemed, but to show the high estimation 
 in which the industrious and useful employments of young 
 ladies were held in former times, so much so as to be celebrated 
 in songs and sonnets; and I venture the assertion, that an ex- 
 pert performer on the foot-wheel, forty or fifty years ago, was 
 as much toasted, complimented, and admired for her execu- 
 tion on that instrument, as the fashionable drummers on the 
 modern piano are at the present day. 
 
 Oh! the kitchen was a delectable hall for such musical con- 
 certs. 
 
 The boys dressed the flax, and the girls spun the tow, 
 
 And the music of mother's foot-wheel was not slow. 
 
 The flax on the bended pine distaff was spread. 
 
 With squash-shell of water to moisten her thread. 
 
 Such were the pianos our mothers would keep. 
 
 Which they played on while spinniJig their children to sleep. 
 
 My mother's, I'm sure, must have borne off the medal; 
 
 For she always was placing her foot on the pedal. 
 
 The warp and the filling were piled in the room. 
 
 Till the web was completed and fit for the loom. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 55 
 
 Then labor was pleasure, and industry smiled, 
 While the wheel and the loom every trouble beguiled; 
 And here, at the distaff, the good wives were made. 
 Where Solomon's precepts were fully obeyed. 
 
 Dear Sir: ^ 
 
 I intended to have been present at your centennial celebration, 
 and have prepared some remarks, by way of response to a sentiment 
 sent me, for the occasion; but numerous other avocations, I fear, will 
 prevent my being present, though my sympathies will be with you. 
 Should you deem them appropriate, you may cause them to be read, 
 as the sentiments of 
 
 E. Morse. 
 
 Walpole, June 14, 1852. 
 
 9. Sixth sentiment: — 
 
 "The Late Rev. Edward Sprague. — As noted for Hberality as 
 for eccentricity. Generations unborn shall rise up and bless his 
 memory." 
 
 Song — "Forget not the Dead," etc. 
 
 Mr. Moses Corey, being present, remarked that he lived for 
 a considerable time in the family of Mr. Sprague, in a situation 
 that gave him many opportunities of knowing his opinions, 
 views, and feelings; and he could testify, from his own knowl- 
 edge, to the truth of the idea embodied in the above sentiment. 
 He related several anecdotes illustrative of his liberality in 
 religious opinions, as well as his eccentricity in common affairs. 
 His religious views were different from those of most of the 
 clergymen of his own denomination in the vicinity. 
 
 10. Seventh sentiment: — 
 
 " Emigrants from Dublin, Present and Absent. — Scattered 
 from Maine to California. May the principles here inculcated in 
 youth prove a shield in the hour of trial, and make each one a foun- 
 tain sending forth similar influences to others!" 
 
 Music by the Band 
 
 To this sentiment Mr. James G. Piper of Boston responded 
 as follows : — 
 
 Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen, — In attempting to 
 
 1 Mr. Morse was unavoidably absent and his address was read to the audience. 
 This brief letter to the presiding officer expresses, in advance, his fear that he could 
 not be present. — J. L. S. 
 
56 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 speak here, I labor under great disadvantages, for this is a 
 centennial meeting, embracing in its subjects for our considera- 
 tion the events of a hundred years, nearly seventy of which 
 had rolled their seasons past ere I was born. I stand before 
 many who can discourse familiarly upon occurrences that passed 
 under their immediate observation years before I had opened 
 my eyes to the light of day, and were eye-witnesses to scenes 
 of which I know nothing except by hearsay. Therefore I feel 
 embarrassed, and more inclined to make my bow and sit down 
 than to proceed. But I know that you are kind and indulgent, 
 and will pardon me for being born so late in the century, and 
 make all just allowance for my youth and inexperience. In 
 making my speech, I suppose I ought to begin at the begin- 
 ning, in the year one of the town. But here I am baffled at the 
 outset; for I cannot look back thirty years before things ap- 
 pear so shady and indistinct that I can scarcely discern a single 
 object. One step farther, and I am completely befogged; and 
 any attempt at exploration is as fruitless as the search for Sir 
 John Franklin. 
 
 But the "emigrants from Dublin" have been kindly noticed 
 here; and it so happens that I am one of that class, resident 
 down in the Old Bay State, a state in some respects second to 
 none in the Union, and which we venerate next to our own 
 good Granite State; for it is the native state of many of our 
 ancestors. There is Plymouth Rock; there, too, are Lexington, 
 Concord, and Bunker Hill; and this day is not only the anni- 
 versary of the settlement of this town, but likewise of the 
 battle of Bunker Hill. Since then, how changed! Before the 
 settler's axe the primeval forests have bowed, and their ashes 
 now fertilize the soil you cultivate. The thunder-drums of war 
 have beat and ceased. The old heroes are gone. 
 
 "They sleep their last sleep; 
 They have fought their last battle; 
 No sound can awake them to glory again." 
 
 But the glory of their deeds shall last, and their names be sur- 
 rounded with a halo of glory; and such a fame shall be theirs 
 as before them no mortals had won. 
 
 Yes, I am a son of Dublin, and love to be asked where I hail 
 from. I always answer promptly. Once, when a resident in 
 Worcester, Mass., a man there, a native of the north part of 
 the state, said to me, by w^ay of a wipe, that he did not see how 
 it happened that such a hard, hilly place ever became settled. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 57 
 
 I answered that many of the first settlers came from Massa- 
 chusetts, having too much enterprise to stay there, especially 
 in the part where his father lived. I did not wish to be uncivil, 
 but we all know that either state has plenty of hills and rocks, 
 and produces abundance of spoonhunt and mulleins. But 
 people are not to be judged by soil and climate alone: their 
 churches and schoolhouses are to be noticed; and Dublin has 
 them both, and they have their influence upon the people. The 
 farms here are not so productive as in some other parts, nor do 
 the people boast of their interest-money and stocks; yet the 
 savings bank at Keene and Freeman's Bank at Boston have 
 their Dublin depositors and shareholders. But, if Dublin is 
 such a good place, why do so many leave it, and even go back 
 to Massachusetts, which the enterprise of their ancestors led 
 them to leave .f^ Since this town was settled, great changes have 
 taken place. Railroads have been built from city to city, and 
 into the heart of the country, and we have been induced to try 
 our luck abroad; but I confess, come to return, and see how 
 well off those are we left, how independent and easy they live, 
 I am almost sorry I ever left; for, after all, in the words of 
 Burns : — 
 
 "There's nae hame like the hame o' youth, 
 
 Nae ither land sae fair; 
 Nae ither faces look sae kind 
 
 As the smilin' faces there." 
 
 An old Scotch lady, who was born during the passage of her 
 parents to this country, used to say she was not born on the 
 Eastern nor the Western Continent, nor anywhere else on the 
 face of the earth. Now, I think it quite unfortunate not to be 
 born somewhere on the face of the earth, and I am thankful, 
 in the first place, that I had the good luck to be born some- 
 where, and, in the second place, that I was born in so good a 
 place as Dublin. 
 
 But whither have the emigrants from Dublin gone.^ The 
 East, the West, the North, the South, can answer. To trace 
 their paths, you must stretch away over yonder Green Moun- 
 tain ridge, that floats, as it were, against the sky of your west- 
 ern horizon; over the Alleghanies, to the prairies of the far- 
 distant West; out among the Middle States, and down among 
 the sunny Southern; ay, follow the banks of the River Platte 
 till you have crossed Nebraska, and reached the Rocky Moun- 
 tains; pass through the gorge, and traverse the wild Indian 
 deserts, where not a sound strikes the ear save the yell of the 
 
58 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 savage, or yelp of the coyote; and pass over the Sierra Nevada 
 Mountains, down among the golden gulches of California; and 
 even there shall you find Dublin represented. Her sons have 
 traversed the Eastern Ocean and the Western Ocean; doubled 
 Cape Horn, and doubled Good Hope; sailed all around the 
 globe; and long ago would have been to the moon, had any 
 conveyance thither been discovered. It is quite evident that 
 the character of the natives of Dublin is somewhat migratory; 
 but I am sure none will ever forget or cease to venerate his 
 native town; and may those good principles early inculcated 
 ever guide them, whether at home or abroad, on the ocean or 
 the land! 
 
 Finally, Mr. President, and fathers and mothers, sisters and 
 brothers, in closing, allow me to propose — The Progress of 
 Dublin. 
 
 If, at the centennial which we now celebrate, we can look 
 back to the past and perceive progress, may those who shall 
 celebrate the next, while, like the sleepers in yonder green 
 graveyard, we, too, shall be sleeping, look back to still greater; 
 and so may this progress go on, from century to century, 
 through all coming time, till time itself shall cease! 
 
 Letter from Mr. Charles Whittemore: — 
 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 Yours of the 31st ult., inviting my lady and self to attend your 
 celebration, was duly received. 
 
 In ordinary times, we should not have failed to comply with your 
 kind invitation. It would have afforded us great pleasure to meet our 
 old townsfolk, and commemorate the hundredth year of the settle- 
 ment of our native town. But circumstances, which I need not detail, 
 will not permit us to do so. 
 
 A thought, however, has struck me, that I can do something to 
 make the people who assemble glad on this occasion. I, therefore, 
 propose to send, on Friday or Saturday next, a barrel of syrup suitable 
 for lemonade, which will make from 250 to 300 gallons of pleasant 
 drink. I will send it by railroad to Keene, directed to Jonathan K. 
 Smith, Esq., Dublin, N. H. 
 
 Permit me to offer as a sentiment : — 
 
 "The Good People or my Native Mountain Home. — May 
 temperance in all things, and especially in strong drinks, prevail 
 among all, both old and young." 
 
 Your friend, 
 
 Charles Whittemore. 
 
 J. K. Smith, A. H. Fisk, R. N. Porter, 
 Committee of Invitation. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 59 
 
 The syrup mentioned in the foregoing letter was duly re- 
 ceived, and contributed not a little to the comfort and pleasure 
 of the occasion. The heat of the weather made it peculiarly 
 grateful to the taste of the people. There was more than suf- 
 ficient for the wants of the multitude of thirsty men, women, 
 and children, who were present. 
 
 J. K. Smith offered the following sentiment: — 
 
 "Our Pleasant Beverage from New York. — Like prosperity, 
 the sweet alone would cloy us; like adversity, the acid alone would 
 be unendurable; properly mingled, just adapted to our natures, — 
 pleasant, grateful, refreshing." 
 
 Letter from Mr. James J. Perry : — 
 
 South Danvers, Mass., June 8, 1852. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 Your circular, tendering your very polite and cordial invitation to 
 attend your centennial celebration, was duly received. It would 
 give me the highest satisfaction, could we be present and participate 
 in the festivities of the day. We might there meet, greet, and take 
 by the hand, many that were long our youthful companions in by- 
 gone days. But Danvers has a similar celebration (her two hundredth) 
 the day before; and it is impossible to be present at both. 
 I propose as a sentiment : — 
 
 "Dublin. — May she have many sons and daughters 'to rise up 
 and call her blessed.' " 
 
 Respectfully yours, 
 
 James J. Perry. 
 Messrs. Smith, Fisk, and Porter. 
 
 Letter from Rev. James Tisdale: — 
 
 Shutesbury, June 11, 1852. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 We are much obliged to you for an invitation to attend the centen- 
 nial celebration at Dublin, but my health, at present, is hardly ade- 
 quate to the duties that devolve upon me, and that must be our 
 excuse for non-attendance. 
 
 That it would be highly gratifying to us both to be present, we 
 need not say. Six years we resided in Dublin. During that time, we 
 formed many interesting acquaintances, and received many kind ex- 
 pressions of regard. Some who have departed this life are cherished 
 in our recollection, and others, that are living, have not been forgotten. 
 The industry of the inhabitants, the well-disciplined schools, and well- 
 conducted lyceum, are remembered by us. And, if the providence of 
 
60 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 God had permitted us to be present on the 17th of June, it could not 
 have failed to be an interesting day to us, as it must be to great num- 
 bers that will be present. 
 
 Allow me to present the foUow^ing sentiment : — 
 
 "To THE Youth of Dublin. — Would you be favored, blessed, 
 successful, and influential, be obedient to your parents, attentive to 
 the aged, respectful to your superiors, and kind to all." 
 
 We present our special respects to the members of the Committee, 
 and kind remembrance to friends and acquaintances. 
 
 In behalf of Mrs. Tisdale and myself, 
 
 James Tisdale. 
 
 Col. Jonathan K. Smith, Asa H. Fisk, Esq., 
 Dr. Ransom N. Porter. 
 
 Letter from Dr. Ambrose Lawrence [afterwards Mayor 
 
 of Lowell, Mass.] : — 
 
 Lowell, June 4, 1852. 
 Messrs. : 
 
 Your favor of the 31st ult., inviting me to be present at the "First 
 Centennial of Dublin," was duly received. 
 
 I can only return you, gentlemen, my sincere thanks for your kind- 
 ness in extending your invitation to me, once an unworthy resident 
 of your town. Previous engagements, requiring my presence else- 
 where on that day, will, I hope, be considered a sufficient excuse for 
 what would seem almost a duty. 
 
 Allow me to conclude by offering you as a sentiment : — 
 
 "Dublin. — She has passed one hundred years in prosperity: may 
 she never pass one year of adversity." 
 
 Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 
 
 Ambrose Lawrence. 
 
 To Jona. K, Smith, Asa H. Fisk, Ransom N. Porter, 
 Committee. 
 
 11. Eighth sentiment: — 
 
 "Natives of Dublin who have not Emigrated. — The grandeur 
 and beauty of our natural scenery, and the superior advantages for 
 moral, social, and intellectual culture, have outweighed in our minds 
 the splendor of the city and the fertility of the prairie, and induced us 
 to cluster around the old hearthstone and the graves of our fathers 
 and kindred." 
 
 A Glee — "Home" 
 
 12. Ninth sentiment: — 
 
 " Our Clergymen. — While we would duly honor all who have 
 held the sacred office among us, we gratefully recognize one, who, at 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 61 
 
 his decease, contributed liberally of his wealth for the intellectual, 
 moral, and religious improvement of future generations; and another, 
 who long has been, and still is, drawing freely from the treasures of 
 his head and heart to promote the same great object." 
 
 Rev. Levi W. Leonard spoke in substance as follows : — 
 
 Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen, — I am called upon 
 to respond to the sentiment just read. The first clergyman of 
 this town was the Rev. Joseph Farrar, He was ordained here 
 fourscore years ago this very month, twenty years after the 
 date of the first settlement, one year after the town was in- 
 corporated. Few persons now living here ever saw him. That 
 he was well qualified for his office, so far as learning and piety 
 were concerned, has been often certified to me by persons who 
 knew him in the days of his residence in this town. During 
 the first two years of his ministry, we have reason to believe 
 that he was a successful and acceptable preacher and pastor. 
 But ill health wrought a change in him, which was manifested 
 by a partial aberration of intellect. He entertained strange 
 and unfounded suspicions with regard to the conduct of some 
 of his flock. On the side of the hill back of the old church, he 
 built a small house, and there lived for a time, alone. Such 
 difficulties arose, in consequence of his singular conduct, that 
 his services were deemed no longer useful. A council was called, 
 and, upon his request, a dismission was granted, at the end of 
 the fourth year of his ministry. 
 
 The successor of Mr. Farrar was the Rev. Edward Sprague. 
 Although nearly thirty-five years have elapsed since his de- 
 cease, yet many of you who are now present have seen his face 
 and heard his voice. During the space of forty years, he was 
 the minister of the Congregational [now Unitarian] Society of 
 Dublin. In the first half of his ministry, it is evident, from what 
 was stated in the address at the grove, that he was straitened 
 in pecuniary means. But at length, by inheriting a portion of 
 his father's estate, he became rich. He then relinquished his 
 salary, and, during sixteen years, he supplied the pulpit, and 
 performed other duties of his oflBce, neither asking nor receiving 
 any pay. 
 
 That he felt deeply in his heart for the welfare of the people 
 of Dublin, cannot be doubted. With small exception, he be- 
 queathed them his whole property. To the society of which 
 he was pastor he gave a specified sum, and the rest for the bene- 
 fit of the common schools. 
 
62 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 In the changes of circumstances, interests, and feelings, 
 which are ever taking place, it is too common for the grateful 
 remembrance of departed benefactors to become fainter and 
 fainter, till, at length, little is retained besides their names. 
 
 The character of Mr. Sprague, drawn by the hand of a per- 
 sonal friend, is inscribed on the monument erected over the 
 spot where his mortal part was laid in the earth. As you repair 
 to that field where the dead repose, and there recall the memory 
 of the friends who have gone before you, you will not fail, on 
 some such occasions, to read the words chiselled in hard lines 
 upon that marble slab. Let such an act awaken in your hearts 
 a deep feeling of gratitude and a lively sense of obligation. 
 But grateful feelings and kind remembrances are not all that 
 we owe to such a benefactor. It is our duty, so far as we can 
 with truth, to defend his reputation, and especially to remove 
 those misapprehensions which, in his case, have widely pre- 
 vailed. 
 
 Persons whose characters are marked by striking peculiari- 
 ties are very liable to be judged erroneously. Their deviation 
 from the common forms of society exposes them to be consid- 
 ered as wrong in intention, when wrong is far from their 
 thoughts. During the whole course of Mr. Sprague's educa- 
 tion, he mingled very little with the world around him. From 
 unacquaintance with the ways and manners of life in the coun- 
 try, and having never been trained in the methods of New 
 England thrift-making, he was exposed to being easily over- 
 reached in such business transactions as were necessary in his 
 domestic arrangements; and there were not wanting persons 
 who would remind him that he had been cheated in a bargain 
 or purchase. This rendered him somewhat suspicious of those 
 with whom he had dealings; and his ways of protecting himself 
 were apt to partake of his peculiar characteristics. 
 
 During the period of Mr. Sprague's ministry, it was almost 
 universal with those who made public donations for educational 
 purposes, to establish academies, or to found professorships in 
 colleges, which should bear their names; and many persons, no 
 doubt, thought it strange that a wealthy clergyman should 
 so far mistake the interest of his fame with posterity as to 
 bequeath his property for the support of common schools. 
 But what has been the result of subsequent inquiry in reference 
 to this subject? Pubhc opinion has undergone a change. Al- 
 though academies and colleges are still duly valued, yet com- 
 mon schools, through the efficient labors of Horace Mann, are 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 63 
 
 deemed not less important; and, as in them the mass of the 
 people are to be instructed and trained, they are regarded by 
 many as of higher importance. It was the dehberate opinion 
 of Mr. Spragiie, formed long before his last sickness, that the 
 improvement of common schools was an object of such mo- 
 ment as to deserve the special aid and countenance of the 
 friends of education. He decided, therefore, in favor of com- 
 mon schools. 
 
 For this decision, the successive generations of Dublin will 
 warmly cherish his memory. They will not forget that he sac- 
 rificed the common ambition of having his name attached to 
 a single institution, and bequeathed the largest portion of his 
 estate for increasing the efficiency and usefulness of those un- 
 obtrusive seminaries in which the minds and hearts of the 
 children and youth who dwell here may be formed, we wilhhope 
 and pray, for righteousness on earth, and blessedness in heaven. 
 
 Of the Rev. Elijah Willard, the first pastor of the Baptist 
 Church, I can say that all my intercourse and communication 
 with him was friendly and pleasant, and such as to make me 
 regard him as a faithful Christian minister, seeking the salva- 
 tion of the people of his charge. His fervency and sympathy 
 with the afilicted on funeral occasions are well known to many, 
 both of his own people, and of other inhabitants of the town. 
 To speak more particularly of his character and success as a 
 pastor and preacher, belongs to others more than myself. It 
 is enough for me to say, that, after a ministry of nearly forty 
 years, he came to his grave at the advanced age of eighty- 
 eight; and that, as a clergyman and a citizen, we believe he 
 will be kindly remembered by all who become acquainted with 
 his character and services. 
 
 Of the other clergymen who have labored in this town as 
 ministers of the gospel of Christ during my residence here, all 
 are living, so far as I know, except the Rev. Samuel Harris. 
 He preached for the First Trinitarian Congregational Society 
 some two or three years. He had been settled at Windham, in 
 this state. Though his period of service here was short, yet he 
 is remembered as a man of an amiable, substantial character; 
 a preacher of fair ability, but too distrustful of himself to gain 
 marked attention, yet well esteemed by all who knew him. 
 
 Of the living clergymen, and of myself, I shall say nothing. 
 Some, indeed, are not present, whose faces we should be glad 
 to see on this occasion. But our days of service are not yet 
 ended. Ere long, however, we shall all pass from time to eter- 
 
64 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 nity. While our days are drawing to their close, we may be per- 
 mitted to indulge the hope that we shall not be wholly forgotten 
 by those for whom it has been our duty to labor as ministers of 
 Christ; and, were we to put up together a prayer to the Father 
 of all, we should, I doubt not, all unite in beseeching him to 
 endue you with wisdom from on high, and to enable you so to 
 improve your social, educational, and religious privileges, that, 
 when you go hence, you may be greeted with "a welcome to the 
 joy of your Lord." 
 
 Cincinnati, O., June 12, 1852. 
 Dear Sirs: 
 
 It would have given me true pleasure to have been present at your 
 first centennial celebration; and I thank you for your kind invitation. 
 But the occasion comes too early in the season for my acceptance of 
 it; and I must content myself with this very imperfect acknowledg- 
 ment of your remembrance. A host of pleasing memories surrounds 
 the name of Dublin; and, whenever I entered the town — as I have 
 done many, many times, in days departed, and hallowed in the heart 
 and memory — to exchange with that most excellent pastor who is one 
 of the high priests of New Hampshire in more senses than one, a 
 purer air, morally as well as physically, seemed to surround me and 
 exhilarate me. All praise and honor to the noble towns of education, 
 temperance, religion, freedom, righteousness, and peace, in New 
 England, of which yours is one of the purest, highest, and most cele- 
 brated, where the least has been done by nature, and the most has 
 been done by man! The glory of the workmen is their work. I give 
 you, then, as a sentiment : — 
 
 "Dublin. — 'A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid;' and this 
 one need not hide, ought not to be hid, and cannot be hid." 
 
 Most respectfully, your friend, 
 
 A. A. LiVERMORE. 
 To Messrs. Fisk, Smith, and Porter. 
 
 13. Tenth sentiment: — 
 
 " Our Sabbath Schools : — Moulding, the plastic minds of our 
 youth ; so that, by divine aid, they may become ' vessels of honor ' in 
 the Christian church." 
 
 Rev. Samuel F. Clark of Athol, Mass., a native [not of 
 Dublin, as stated in the former History of Dublin, but] of 
 Shipton, Que., although his youth was passed in Dublin, made 
 the following remarks : — 
 
 If I am not mistaken, Mr. President and friends, it was 
 in this town that the boy in the field, when tauntingly inter- 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 65 
 
 rogated by a passing stranger with the inquiry, " What do you 
 raise on these barren hills?" aptly responded, "Our soil is 
 rather hard and cold and broken, and we can raise little else; 
 so we build schoolhouses, and raise men.'" 
 
 Some towns excel in agriculture, some in mechanical, and 
 some in commercial pursuits. Ours has gained distinction in 
 neither of these. The branch of enterprise in which this town 
 has been most successful is that of "raising men." We do not 
 claim among her sons and daughters many who are noted for 
 what is deemed a high eminence. But we do claim that those 
 who have been nurtured on these hills have attained to a high 
 level of intelligence, enterprise, and virtue. Other towns may 
 boast of more great names; but very few, indeed, can offer so 
 high a standard of general excellence as must be indisputably 
 conceded to this. While it is true of those born here, that few 
 have been known to fame, it is also true that fewer have been 
 known to infamy. As few have occupied places of rank in busi- 
 ness, literature, or the professions, so there have been few who 
 have been drones in society, and burdens to the community. 
 No town can rejoice in greater freedom from such incumbrances 
 than this. Those who have remained here, or have gone out 
 from their native town, have generally been industrious, en- 
 terprising citizens; such as society always relies upon for sup- 
 port, and of whom it may well be said, at last, "The world has 
 been better for their having lived in it." It is in the nurture 
 and culture of such citizens that this town has gained a no un- 
 enviable distinction. 
 
 And now, Mr. President, permit me to advert to the cause 
 of this very desirable success; and, in doing so, it is presumed 
 that the generation which is passing away will excuse it in us, 
 as one of the pardonable foibles of youth, if we assume that 
 this distinction is of modern attainment; nor will you, Mr. 
 President, I presume, take exception, if I search no further 
 back for this cause than our minds may be borne by the senti- 
 ment to which I am called to respond. 
 
 No town, it is believed, has enjoyed a more happy sabbath- 
 school influence than has been exerted here for the last thirty 
 years; and we doubt not that to this influence may be attributed 
 no small degree of the excellence of character which we who are 
 emigrants are always proud to hear ascribed to the home of our 
 childhood. Of course, in making this remark, I do not forget 
 the high grade of our common schools, nor by whose influence 
 they have been thus elevated, but of their success it is not to- 
 
66 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 day my province to speak. I may say, however, that the most 
 favored means for intellectual culture can avail nothing de- 
 sirable, unless such culture be accompanied with proper moral 
 and religious instruction ; and I am happy to add, that here the 
 two have been most happily combined and directed by the 
 same guardian influence. 
 
 Of the Sunday-schools of Dublin, I am familiarly acquainted 
 with but one, and consequently am not able to speak of the 
 statistics or success of the others. This I regret, but I trust 
 there is some one present who is able to do them ample justice. 
 To the seasons which I have spent in the school connected with 
 the First Parish, I shall always revert as among the most 
 profitable and fondly cherished hours of my childhood and 
 youth; and these associations are all the more dear to me, be- 
 cause she who so amiably shares my truest affections ever turns 
 as fondly as myself to these scenes of her early and later re- 
 ligious impressions. 
 
 This school was established in the year 1823, and numbered, 
 at that time, one hundred twenty-two pupils, of whom but 
 seventeen are now residents of the town. It has continued to 
 flourish from that time to this under the care of the same de- 
 voted pastor, and many of the same faithful friends, who 
 cherished its incipient growth. It now embraces one hundred 
 sixty pupils, which is not far from its usual number. A 
 very gratifying feature in this school is the unusual number of 
 young ladies and gentlemen who are constant in their attend- 
 ance upon its instructions; and, indeed, in all its desirable 
 features, I may safely say, this excels any of the very many 
 similar schools with which my experience as a teacher, superin- 
 tendent, and pastor, has given me an acquaintance, both in 
 the country and the city. Consequently, its influence upon 
 the young has been marked, so much so as to be observable to 
 strangers; and I remember that an old gentleman of high respect- 
 ability in an adjoining town once remarked to me, that he 
 always knew when he had crossed the line between the towns 
 by the deportment of the boys; for, said he, the last boy, as a 
 traveller passes in, is sure to throw a stone after his carriage, 
 while the first boy he meets in Dublin is as sure to take off his 
 hat and make a bow. Experience in various places has con- 
 vinced me that this is but a fair illustration of the happy suc- 
 cess of our sabbath-schools. 
 
 And what now, may we ask, is the secret of the superior 
 influence of this school? For such results do not come by 
 chance. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 67 
 
 LTndoubtedly the secret is traceable to more than one cause. 
 Connected with this school have been devoted superintendents 
 and faithful teachers, without whose aid very little could have 
 been attained; but all these, we venture to affirm, will concede 
 to another the higher wisdom and devotion which have been 
 the directing influence over this and the common schools. No 
 pastor has ever devoted himself more assiduously to the culture 
 of the young, or done more for their improvement, than he who 
 has just left this stand, and who, in his remarks, has been too 
 modest to say anything of himself, but to whom, for his untir- 
 ing efforts in our behalf, we who have grown up under his care 
 owe a long debt of gratitude. 
 
 I will not now speak of the superior intellectual, moral, and 
 religious influence which his public teaching and social inter- 
 course have shed over the young in this town; for that is obvi- 
 ous to all, but there are other means which have been prodi- 
 gally used for our benefit, and yet so modestly that I fear few 
 of us have ever been sensible of their origin. 
 
 I am sure that I need not remind very many who hear me, 
 how, when we were children, we used to repair to the minister's 
 study, in the old tavern-house, which is soon to give place to 
 the new church, — a fitting spot, already consecrated in our 
 memories by the associations to which I allude, — for those 
 little books which his personal kindness always provided so 
 liberally to culture our early love for reading. Thus were those 
 books, furnished at his expense, carried into almost every fam- 
 ily in town, till, at length, they attracted the attention of a 
 practising physician. Dr. Carter, who, perceiving their happy 
 influence, took the matter in hand, and soon induced the 
 people to establish the present juvenile library. The three 
 hundred books then already in circulation were presented by the 
 minister; and from this gratuitous nucleus has grown this 
 library, which now numbers nearly two thousand volumes, and 
 which, under the direction of its librarian,^ has done more than 
 any other influence to mould the acknowledged intellectual 
 character of this town. 
 
 Neither is it necessary for me to remind those who have been 
 pupils in this Sunday-school of the annual present of books 
 which has been awarded to each scholar since the first organi- 
 zation of the school. But perhaps all may not be aware, that, 
 for these, they have been chiefly indebted to him who has just 
 
 ^ Dr. Leonard. 
 
68 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 declined saying anything of what he has done himself, as they 
 are also for all the manuals which have been used in the school 
 for thirty years. 
 
 I am aware, that, were I to wait for his permission before 
 divulging these facts to the public, I should be obliged to wait 
 till the next centennial; so I have deferred asking it; nor do I 
 think we are under any obligations to consult him at all in this 
 matter. 
 
 I have lately had occasion to refer to the records of the li- 
 brary and the Sunday-school; and, in looking them over, my 
 eye rested on some items of expenses which modesty ought not 
 longer to be allowed to conceal. I will not say that I obtained 
 the perusal of these records under false pretences, because that 
 would hardly be honorable to myself. But I can say that I did 
 not avow my whole purpose in requesting a sight at them; for 
 it was not necessary to do so; and besides, if I had, my princi- 
 pal design in seeking access to them, which was to be able to 
 show the pecuniary expense which the pastor of this school has 
 incurred for the library and the school, might have been de- 
 feated. The result of my investigations and inquiries may be 
 told in few words. The money paid by the minister for the 
 three hundred books first given to the library, together with 
 subsequent donations, would, if put at interest at the time of the 
 several donations, amount now to more than $510; nor does 
 this include the expense of paper for covering the library, 
 which, together with the whole care of the books for thirty 
 years, has been a gratuitous offering of the librarian. I find 
 also that the money which the pastor has paid annually for 
 manuals and presents for one hundred fifty or sixty schol- 
 ars of the sabbath-school, if put at interest at the time of the 
 several payments, would now amount to upwards of $1,114, 
 which, added to the sum expended on the library', swells the 
 amount of his free-will offering for the benefit of his pupils to 
 the large sum of $1,624. 
 
 In these facts, the reflecting mind will not fail to discover 
 the secret of the uncommon success of this school, and of the 
 high excellence which this town has attained in consequence. 
 
 Nor do these figures reveal our pastor's beneficence in but a 
 single department of his numerous spheres of usefulness. I say 
 our pastor; because, when he was settled here, and when he 
 commenced these plans of usefulness, he was the pastor of the 
 town. There are others who can testify to similar deeds from 
 the same hand. Nor have I yet announced all I might reveal; 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 69 
 
 but I forbear the rest, as well from other considerations as from 
 want of time. 
 
 Allow me now, Mr. President, to close these remarks with 
 the following sentiment; in offering which, I do not forget the 
 former minister of the society, who has been remembered with 
 gratitude here to-day, nor yet others, present and absent, who 
 have contributed of their means for the benefit of this town; 
 but, with many thanks to them all for their liberality, allow 
 me to offer : — 
 
 "The Town of Bridgewater, Mass., — Our pastor's native 
 place; Dublin's greatest benefactor." 
 
 14. Eleventh sentiment: — 
 
 "Our Common Schools. — Under the guidance of one whc has 
 ever pointed onward and 'led the ivay,' they have risen from 'the 
 District School as it was,' to a condition of which we have no cause to 
 be ashamed." 
 
 Jeremiah Bemis, Jr., Esq., then of Weathersfield, Vt., a 
 native son of [Weston, Mass., according to the genealogical 
 register of the family contained in the former History of Dub- 
 lin, and, though brought here in early childhood, yet not a son 
 of] Dublin, and a veteran teacher of thirty-seven terms, re- 
 sponded in the following remarks : — 
 
 Mr. President, — In connection with a few words referring 
 to the invaluable services of "one who has led the way" so 
 successfully and so honorably for more than thirty years, I 
 hope you will not deem it inappropriate for me to allude to 
 "the District School as it was" between the years 1795 and 
 1817. 
 
 During fifteen of the seventeen terms of my attendance as a 
 scholar in Dublin, and three terms of the eight in Marlborough, 
 my teachers were of the former town. I do not remember hear- 
 ing any one say, that either of them was unfaithful in teach- 
 ing, did not sustain good order, or, in reclaiming delinquents, 
 preferred not other expedients to corporal inflictions ; but, when 
 the former had been unavailable, it was then to be expected 
 that their belief in the utility of the latter would be practically 
 manifested. And may we not conclude that the other schools 
 in town were as well conducted.'^ 
 
 The terms were generally not so long as to prevent the em- 
 ployment of an instructor in two districts in the same winter; 
 
70 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 and some scholars attended other schools, when their own were 
 not in operation. 
 
 Some of the schoolhouses were old and inconveniently con- 
 structed; others, though recently erected, and far more con- 
 venient and comfortable than their predecessors, contained 
 seats and desks fashioned after a faulty model. In one of 
 them was a stove, in which dry fuel was consumed; and, in 
 each of the others which I had been in, a brick fireplace, mostly 
 supplied with green wood. But few of the books were well 
 adapted to the end designed; and stationery consisted not of 
 "first-rate articles." No apparatus was furnished to facilitate 
 improvement; nor a well-regulated clock, to indicate to idle 
 or tardy scholars precious and inestimable time lost by them 
 forever, and also to admonish the teacher if he came in too late. 
 
 Omitting other inconveniences, which caused, apparently, 
 but few if any discouragements, I wish to observe, that, were I 
 to form an opinion of the kindness of parents and others to 
 teachers, the punctual attendance, studiousness, good deport- 
 ment, and improvement of scholars, in all the districts in 
 Dublin, by my experience, as an instructor during eleven 
 terms, in five of them, I should say, their worthy efforts tended, 
 in no small degree, to encourage teachers in discharging their 
 duties. 
 
 And now, sir, allow me to say, that, while the "common 
 schools" have been "under the guidance" of the "one" to 
 whom the sentiment refers, the light of science has been copi- 
 ously diffused, the "way" brilliantly illuminated, school-terms 
 lengthened, commodious schoolhouses built, and suitable 
 books, including the Scriptures, used therein, — all obstacles, 
 perhaps, removed; and "they have risen" to their present 
 eminent "condition." 
 
 His thorough knowledge of "the way"; his excellent char- 
 acter, that won the confidence, esteem, and respect of those 
 under "his guidance"; his costly, gratuitous library; his oral 
 and printed "Lectures on the Present Condition and Wants of 
 Common Schools," and on other topics connected with them; 
 approved school-books of which he is the author; his exertions, 
 as a member of the Board of Superintending School Committee, 
 from year to year; and the aid of "the Giver of every good and 
 perfect gift"; — are some of his means applied in the accom- 
 plishment of his noble purpose. 
 
 Superintending and prudential committees; successful in- 
 structors of the "schools"; parents and guardians who subject 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 71 
 
 their children and wards to judicious family government, who 
 discountenance the reading of such books and prints as are 
 mentally and morally detrimental; the munificent bequest of 
 the late Rev. E. Sprague for the annual benefit of the common 
 schools of this town; they who exemplify their detestation of 
 all intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and their abhorrence of 
 the habitual use of other banes which enervate the mind, and 
 partially or totally unfit it for the reception of useful knowl- 
 edge; those whose influence is against the "sum of all villany," 
 and in favor of the "higher law"; and all who have "stayed up 
 his hands" whilst he has "pointed onward," or who have other- 
 wise effectually contributed to the progression; — these are 
 such as ("under his guidance") have aided, either directly or 
 indirectly, the '"one who has ever pointed onward, and 'led the 
 way' from 'the District School as it was' to a condition of 
 which we have no cause to be ashamed." 
 
 We are not, however, to infer that the schools ever incurred 
 "shame" whilst moving '' omvard,'' or that they will avoid it 
 when not doing so. 
 
 If some, ascending the "hill of science," should imagine 
 themselves near its summit, and desire unnecessary repose, the 
 "one who" still "leads the way" would kindly and immediately 
 dispel the illusion; or, should others be satisfied with their pres- 
 ent condition and, therefore, wish to attain no higher one, he 
 would remind them of the certainty of their retrogression, and 
 consequent '"shame,'' unless they keep constantly moving ''o7i- 
 ward." 
 
 But they will doubtless continue to follow their leader, Rev. 
 L. W. Leonard, D.D., till called to receive as his reward, "a 
 crown of glory that fadeth not away." 
 
 Remarks of Rev. George F. Clark of Norton, Mass. : — 
 
 Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen, — I feel impressed to 
 add a few words to what has already been said in relation to 
 your common schools. Too much cannot be said in their 
 praise; for no man can estimate — yea, no man can conceive — 
 the influence they have exerted upon the young of your town, 
 and are destined to exert upon future generations. 
 
 Grand and picturesque as are your hills ; surpassingly beauti- 
 ful and enchanting as is yonder lake; noble and majestic as is 
 Monadnock, that "old mountain-king," rearing aloft his bold 
 head to the clouds; — yet far surpassing all these, and interest- 
 ing above them all, to the patriot and the philanthropist, stand 
 
72 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 your common schools, — those beacon lights that bestud, like 
 glittering emeralds, your rockj^ hills, and cast their mild radi- 
 ance over your sequestered valleys, — the noblest, the grandest 
 feature of this rough, this rugged place. Yes, Mr. President, it 
 is not your hills and valleys, your mountains and lakes, but 
 your public schools, that have given you a name in the world, 
 — that have immortalized your towTi. But, sir, how happens 
 it, that this secluded mountain town, shut out, in a great 
 measure, from the world at large, and possessing few of the 
 educational advantages of more favored districts, should possess 
 schools so excellent as to become models for the surrounding 
 towns, if not for the whole state .^^ There is — there must be — 
 a cause for this. Do you suppose, sir, that you or I would ever 
 have heard of Ban de la Roche if Oberlin had not dwelt there .'^ 
 And how many, think you, would have heard of Dublin schools 
 if our Oberlin had not come among us.^ Yes, the "sentiment" 
 to which I respond tells the truth, — gives the secret of the 
 whole matter, — when it says, "Under the guidance of 'him,' 
 they have arisen" to the high position they now occupy. 
 Truly, as I can testify from my own experience, having been 
 both a pupil and a teacher in your schools, he "has ever pointed 
 onward and led the way." For thirty years, a faithful Palinurus, 
 he has stood at the helm. When he came here a stranger, he 
 saw in vision what is now a reality. Many were the obstacles 
 that stood in the way of his success. But, Columbus-like, he 
 has surmounted them all and anchored, at last, at the St. 
 Salvador of his hopes. Through his untiring perseverance, 
 "the District School as it was" has given place to those "of 
 which you have no cause to be ashamed," of which you may 
 justly be proud. 
 
 It may perhaps be said, that "the noble bequest of a former 
 minister is the cause of the present prosperity of your schools." 
 That, no doubt, has had its influence. But money alone could 
 never have produced the results now living before our eyes. 
 Others, no doubt, have been worthy coadjutors. But to the 
 efforts of him who for thirty years has been chairman of your 
 Superintending Committee, your schools mainly owe their 
 elevated character. Frequent visits to the schools, addresses 
 to the children, private conversation with the people, public 
 lectures in the community on the subject of education, are 
 among the means he used to accomplish the end designed. 
 Again, the school-books he has published, practically showing 
 his own interest in the cause, have done much to awaken an 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 73 
 
 interest in both parents and children.^ Silently, and without 
 ostentation, he has done his work. You owe to him a debt of 
 gratitude you can never repay. And, if you are deeply sensible 
 you owe it, from my knowledge of the man, I am sure he will 
 ask no other recompense. 
 
 My earliest recollections go back only to about the time 
 when our revered friend, to whom I have alluded, came 
 here, and gave a new impetus to the cause of general 
 intelligence. 
 
 On the extreme borders of the town, near where there is now 
 a flourishing village, in an old dilapidated dwelling-house, with 
 rough slabs taken from my grandfather's saw-mill for seats, 
 and these upheld by sticks driven into large auger-holes, with 
 nothing to support the feeble backs of the feeble-minded boys 
 and girls that sat thereon, I first made my "bow" to the 
 "school-marm," and placed my feet upon the lowest round of 
 the "ladder of learning." On one side of the room, thus 
 strangely metamorphosed into a "Temple of Science," were 
 ranged the long "dressers"; where the good dame of the house, 
 with exquisite taste, had been accustomed to display her 
 pewter platters and wooden plates, her brown earthen mugs 
 and iron spoons; while underneath were the noble cupboards, 
 where time and again she had stored the bean-porridge and 
 hasty pudding, — those choice viands of a former generation. 
 And well I remember that some luckless youngsters, for child- 
 ish pranks deemed hostile to the peace and dignity of the 
 place, would be elevated to those rather high seats for ''little 
 shavers," or shut up in the dark abodes beneath; no doubt to 
 typify the elevated positions they were destined to attain in the 
 world, or the low and dark condition that awaited them, ac- 
 cording to the thickness of the case that enclosed their "mental 
 apparatus." Split sticks were sometimes placed upon our 
 
 1 He first gave us "The Literary and Scientific Class-book," — a work that never 
 was duly appreciated by the public generally, but which did much to create, in the 
 young of this town, a thirst for useful and instructive books. I well remember with 
 what eagerness I devoured its pages, even before I was deemed old enough to enter the 
 "classes" for which it was "designed." Soon afterwards came "The Sequel to the 
 Easy Lessons," which is even now [1852] outliving, because intrinsically more valuable 
 than, most books of more modern date. A few years later, the young gladly received 
 "The North American Spelling Book." This, in its plan and adaptation to the end 
 designed, is far superior to any book, of like character, with which I am acquainted. 
 I know of no other book, whose reading and spelling lessons are so admirably graded 
 to the footsteps of the youthful mind. Still later, we have an "Analysis of the Ele- 
 mentary Sounds of the English Language," with an accompanying "Chart," — a 
 work long needed, and earnestly called for, in our schools, and, like everything else 
 emanating from the same source, " perfect and entire, wanting nothing." 
 
74 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 tongues and ears, probably (for I could never fully under- 
 stand their significance) to teach us, poor urchins, that we 
 must neither tell, nor listen to, idle tales in school. 
 
 The school-books of that day were "few and far between." 
 And apparatus, for illustrating any of the studies pursued, 
 would have been deemed as great an innovation as, a short 
 time before, was the introduction of choirs into our meeting- 
 houses. In fact, almost the only apparatus I remember to have 
 seen in the schools, during my connection with them as a pupil, 
 was the ferule and the birch, with the occasional addition of 
 "green-hide." With these, the pedagogues of both sexes were 
 accustomed to stimulate the latent energies of the scholars, 
 give not a very gentle jog to their memories, and quicken their 
 tardy steps up the difficult heights they essayed to climb. And 
 I think I have some indistinct recollection, that I was occasion- 
 ally honored with the privilege of letting others see how ad- 
 mirably this apparatus was adapted to the end designed! 
 Still, my native modesty — my rather deficient self-esteem — 
 does not for a moment allow me to suppose it was owing to my 
 superior endowments for such a purpose, that I was so fre- 
 quently selected as the person upon w^hom this interesting ex- 
 periment was to be tried. Perhaps, from some cause I was not 
 then able to understand, — which, even now, I do not fully 
 comprehend, — I might have been a particular favorite with 
 the teacher. I certainly think they were rather partial to me in 
 that respect. 
 
 But those scenes are now past and gone. They live only in 
 the memory of those who were the actors or beholders of them. 
 The rod and the ferule — those relics of a semi-barbarous age 
 — are fast losing their hold upon the affections of this advanc- 
 ing and enlightened era. Already are they looked upon with 
 disgust, with horror. True, now and then, we meet with them; 
 but they only serve to remind us of "the District School as it 
 was." Under a more benign, a more Christian influence are 
 your schools now governed; and in no one respect, probably, 
 have they made greater progress than in this. Yet in almost 
 all respects they may be taken as models. In the discipline, in 
 the manner of imparting instruction, in the qualification of 
 teachers, in the means of elucidating the studies, in the interest 
 awakened in the young, in their regular and punctual attend- 
 ance, in the efforts of their parents to second the endeavors of 
 the teacher, in the new and commodious schoolhouses, — in all 
 these, are unmistakable evidences that the condition of your 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 75 
 
 schools is such that the bhish of shame will not mantle your 
 cheeks when they are mentioned in your presence. 
 
 What is it that causes the young men of Dublin to be so re- 
 spected abroad, and the young maidens to be sought for from 
 afar? What is it that makes the genus "'loafer,'''' especially 
 among the young, such a curiosity here? What is it that gives 
 such thrift and enterprise to the inhabitants generally? The 
 superior advantages you have afforded the young for acquiring 
 a generous culture, afford a true answer to these queries. 
 
 But, my friends, there are others yet to be heard, and I must 
 hasten on. I have spoken of the past; the present you know; 
 and now a word, in closing, in regard to the future. Excellent 
 as your schools now are, do not harbor the thought that they 
 have attained the zenith of their usefulness, their efficiency. 
 Be not satisfied with the present. Bear in mind that the world 
 is advancing. What is excellent now, will be only mediocrity 
 in the future. To meet the demands of the generations now 
 struggling into life, your schools must go higher than they now 
 are. A hundred years hence, may we not expect that Dublin 
 schools will be as much in advance of what they now are, as 
 they now tower above the first apologies for schools the early 
 settlers, in their poverty, were able to set up? Who can calcu- 
 late how high rank a century will give your common schools? 
 Who can set bounds to the means they will afford for the de- 
 velopment of the human mind? All that now pertains to the 
 school and school-room will, a century hence, be considered as 
 mere baubles and child's play alongside of what will then be 
 enjoyed. These noble schoolhouses you have lately erected, 
 which have added no little to your fame, will then be among 
 the things that were. Far nobler and more splendid houses will 
 have been erected in their stead, which, without any figure of 
 speech, may, in truth, be called "Temples of Science." 
 
 Go on, therefore, ye of the present day. Do your part 
 towards the accomplishment of such a result. Cherish these 
 noble institutions as the "apple of your eye"; for they are the 
 main pillars and supports of our republican institutions. By 
 affording a good and generous culture to the young, they alone 
 will "save" and perpetuate the "Union." 
 
 Seek, then, to give your children the enduring riches of a 
 true and living education, — an education fit for the age that 
 is approaching, in which they are to act; fit for American free- 
 men to possess; and, above all, fit for those destined for an im- 
 mortal existence in a higher and holier sphere. 
 
76 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 In conclusion, Mr. President, permit me to give as a senti- 
 ment: — 
 
 " Dublin. — May her common schools ever be such as to encircle 
 her name with a halo of true glory." 
 
 Letter from Samuel x\ppleton, Esq. : — 
 
 Boston, June 15, 1852. 
 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 
 15th ult., requesting, in behalf of the Committee of Arrangements, 
 my personal attendance at the celebration of the hundredth anni- 
 versary of the settlement of the town of Dublin, on the 17th inst. 
 For this polite in\dtation, gentlemen, I return you my sincere thanks. 
 It would afford me much pleasure to join in the celebration proposed 
 by the people of Dublin; and I regret that my age and bodily infirmi- 
 ties will compel me to be absent on that occasion. 
 
 I have always taken an interest in the town of Dublin. In or about 
 the year 1786, I resided there for four months, and was engaged, 
 during that time, in teaching two different schools, say of two months 
 each, at eight dollars per month. One of the districts was in the 
 Street, as it was then called; the other was in the easterly part of the 
 town, near Peterborough. In this latter district, it w^as arranged for 
 the schoolmaster to live with the family that would board and lodge 
 him the cheapest. Having been informed where I was to board, I set 
 out for my new home on foot, carrying the greater part of my ward- 
 robe on my back, and the remainder tied up in a bandanna handker- 
 chief. On arriving at the place of my destination, I found my host 
 and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks, ready, and apparently glad to 
 see me. They were to receive, for my board, lodging, and washing, 
 sixty-seven cents per week. Their house was made of logs, with only 
 one room in it, which served for parlor, kitchen, and bedroom. I 
 slept on a trundle-bed, which, during the day, was wheeled under the 
 large bed, where the master and mistress of the house reposed during 
 the night. Every morning and evening, there were family prayers, and 
 readings from the Bible, in which I sometimes took an active part. 
 . . . After spending two weeks at Mr. Fairbanks's, I removed to Mr, 
 Perry's. He was a good farmer, his wife an excellent housekeeper, 
 and I finished my school-term very pleasantly to myself, and, I be- 
 lieve, very satisfactorily to my employers. 
 
 Since that time, great improvements have been made in the public 
 schools of Dublin. I am informed that it contains as good schools, 
 and turns out as competent teachers, as any town in New Hamp- 
 shire. In consideration of the "good and healthful condition" of its 
 public schools, and of the "spirit of improvement" which appears to 
 animate those who are engaged in them, I am induced to send to the

 town of Dublin my check for the sum of one thousand dollars, to be 
 appropriated to educational purposes in such manner as the Super- 
 intending School Committee shall deem expedient. 
 
 With best wishes for the welfare and progress of the public schools 
 of Dublin, for the happiness of its citizens, and the success of the ap- 
 proaching celebration, I remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, 
 Your friend and obedient servant, 
 
 Samuel Appleton.

 Sub-committee. 
 
 Toast from Samuel Appleton: — 
 
 "The Common Schools of Dublin. — Uncommon in excellence." 
 
 Letter from Hon. James Batcheller of Marlborough, one 
 of the Councillors of the State of New Hampshire : — 
 
 Concord, June 8, 1852. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 Your communication, inviting me to attend the centennial anni- 
 versary of the settlement of Dublin, has just been received. I regret 
 that my present situation will deprive me of the pleasure of being 
 present. The comparison of the condition of the town of Dublin for 
 the first fifty years with its present condition must be highly gratifying 
 to the present inhabitants. In some respects, no border-town can 
 boast of so great improvement. For the want of water privileges, 
 manufacturing establishments are confined to the extreme border of 
 the town, thus preventing a rapid increase of your central village. 
 But, in agriculture, Dublin has kept pace with the most favored town 
 in the vicinity. But the proud, I may almost say the enviable, con- 
 dition of Dublin consists in the improvement of your common schools, 
 and, as a sure consequence, the general diffusion of knowledge and 
 science among all the citizens. The generous bequest of the late Rev. 
 Mr. Sprague contributed essentially to this happy result. But living 
 individuals (whom it would be fulsome flattery to name) have done 
 everything in their power to bring about the present happy state of 
 things. Their names ought to be inscribed on marble, and handed 
 down to the latest posterity. I can say, without fear of contradic- 
 tion, that no town in New Hampshire can boast of a population of 
 gentlemen, farmers, and mechanics, equal in intelligence, academic 
 and common school education, with those of Dublin. Healthful in- 
 dustry, without slavish drudgery; frugal economy without penuri- 
 ousness; hearty generosity, without w^asteful extravagance; sym- 
 pathy for the poor, the downtrodden, and oppressed, with practical 
 efforts for their relief ; — these traits of character belong to most of 
 the people of Dublin. These results, I again repeat, are the fruits of 
 
78 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 your unceasing and successful efforts to elevate the standard of your 
 common schools. 
 
 Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 
 
 James Batcheller. 
 
 Col. J. K. Smith, A. H. Fisk, Esq., R. N. Porter, M.D., 
 Committee of Invitation. 
 
 Letter from Hon. William Pakker of Francestown: — 
 
 Fraxcestowx, June 10, 18.5'2. 
 My dear Sirs: 
 
 Your kind note, inviting myself and family to partake in the cele- 
 bration on the 17th of June, was duly received and highly appreciated. 
 
 There is more than the invitation which is pleasing to me. Your 
 object is to celebrate the one hundredth year from the first settlement 
 of the town of Dublin. What will be more interesting to them than to 
 carry your people back in idea, as well as you can, to the first tree that 
 was fallen, and by whom, or to the first cabin that was built of logs, 
 the first church that was erected, and the first minister who was in- 
 vited to settle with the few scattered inhabitants? No subject would 
 be more pleasing to me; and, gentlemen, it makes a history not only 
 valuable and interesting to the present, but to all coming generations. 
 
 The day you have chosen for your celebration — the anniversary 
 of the battle of Bunker Hill — is one of many others full of interest to 
 the people of this country. Mark the difference between that day and 
 the present. Then all was doubt and fearful anxiety: at the present 
 time, this is a great nation, with a government of the people, enjoying 
 more of the divine blessings than any other nation on earth. 
 
 The few, but pleasant, years which it was my good fortune, in my 
 youthful days, to spend in good old Dublin, sitting under the teach- 
 ings of good old Parson Sprague, at the base of old Monadnock, on 
 the shore of the pond, which poured forth its pure waters, and the 
 kind and Christian-like treatment which I received from all the in- 
 habitants, make it one of the most interesting places to me on earth. 
 I assure you, gentlemen, that it would give me great pleasure to be 
 present on the day of your celebration, but my engagements are of 
 such a character as will deprive me of partaking the festivities of the 
 day. 
 
 You will please to accept for yourselves and all your people my 
 best wishes and kind regards. 
 
 Yours most respectfully, 
 
 William Parker. 
 
 Messrs. Jona. K. Smith, Asa H. Fisk, Ransom N. Porter, 
 Sub-committee, Dublin, New Hampshire. 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 79 
 
 P. S. Permit me to offer you a sentiment: — 
 
 "Your District Schools and Schoolhouses. — In these, no 
 town in the state is before you. Great credit, therefor is due to Par- 
 son Sprague and his successor, Rev. Dr. Leonard." 
 
 Letter from John H. Foster, M.D., of Chicago, 111.: — 
 
 Chicago, June 10, 1852. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 The reception of your very civil invitation to visit Dublin, and aid 
 in celebrating the hundredth anniversary, afforded me much pleasure 
 and gratification, inasmuch as it is some evidence that I am not 
 altogether forgotten by my Dublin friends and acquaintance. 
 
 I should like much to attend this (that is to be) celebrated cele- 
 bration, and learn something of the early struggles and privations, 
 and ultimate success and prosperity, of the first inhabitants of Dublin, 
 and especially to see, and take by the hand, my old associates 'and 
 friends; but the cares of the world are likely to choke the good seed 
 that your invitation has implanted in my breast, and prevent its 
 bearing fruit at this time. 
 
 I know not, if, on such occasions, it is customary to be sentimental, 
 and drink cold-water toasts; but, in case it is, I ask leave to give the 
 following : — 
 
 "The uncommon Schools of Dublin — are features as promi- 
 nent in her moral, as are the hills and mountains in her physical, 
 geography." 
 
 Respectfully yours, 
 
 John H. Foster. 
 To JoNA. K. Smith, Asa H. Fisk, 
 and Ransom N. Porter. 
 
 Letter from Reo Adams, late of Dublin: — 
 
 Keene, Ohio, June 10, 1852. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 Your circular, inviting myself and lady to participate in the cele- 
 bration of the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Dublin, is 
 just received. 
 
 In reply, I would say, that I should be very happy to be present 
 on that interesting occasion, as I have no doubt it will be. But, owing 
 to the delay of the mail, the notice is too short; and my avocations 
 are such as to deprive me of the pleasure of an interview with my 
 DubHn friends at that time. Please accept my thanks for this com- 
 munication, and my good wishes for the success of your celebration. 
 I take an honest pride in the standing of my native town, particularly 
 in regard to education. I see by the reports of school committees, and 
 other ways, that she stands highest among the high in this respect. 
 
80 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 and this regard for her past history is highly honorable to the intelli- 
 gence of her citizens. I send the following sentiment for your con- 
 sideration : — 
 
 "The Common School System, as Exemplified in your Ex- 
 cellent Schools: — The watch-tower of our liberties. Let that be 
 flourishing, and the country is safe." 
 
 Go on, gentlemen, with your celebration; do it up handsomely, as 
 I have no doubt you will; and my best wishes are with you. 
 
 Reo Adams. 
 To J. K. Smith and others. 
 
 15. Twelfth sentiment: — 
 
 "The Late Amos Twitchell, M.D., of Keene, — Preeminent 
 in his profession, — a man whom this or any other town might be 
 proud to own as a son. His example admonishes all who would excel 
 to 'aim high.'" 
 
 Dr. Albert Smith of Peterborough responded : — 
 
 Mr. President, — Having been requested to respond to the 
 sentiment just read, you may be assured that I have under- 
 taken it with great reluctance, from the fear of my inability to 
 do anything like justice to such a theme. Since he left no son, 
 nor near kindred, who could respond this day to your kind 
 remembrance of him, that duty has fallen on me, who can 
 only claim a kindred profession w^ith him, and an admiration 
 and profound respect for the man. My acquaintance wdth him 
 had been long and pleasant; and sad is it to me, that any one 
 but himself should now stand here to respond on this occasion. 
 A year since, I had occasion, by appointment, to make a com- 
 memorative discourse of his life and character before the New 
 Hampshire State Medical Society, in w hich I could but barely 
 do justice to him, much less in the brief moments allotted to 
 the speakers of this day. 
 
 With what delight would he meet you this day, if his life had 
 been spared ! If it is permitted to departed spirits to know what 
 is passing in this w'orld, and to be near to living friends, may 
 we not hope that he, and many other departed ones, are now 
 hovering over these scenes, and intensely watching the proceed- 
 ings of this important day.^ 
 
 Would that he could stand here bodily, and, instead of my 
 poor eulogy, address you himself! How w^ould the broad and 
 manly features of his face kindle, as he surveyed this immense 
 multitude, to every one of whom, great and small, his name is 
 familiar as a household word ! His eyes, alw^ays so keen and ex- 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 81 
 
 pressive, how would they glow and twinkle, — his noble and 
 majestic form rise in dignity before you, as he would address 
 you in the thrilling emotion of an overflowing heart! Would 
 he not use language something like this? — 
 
 "My kind friends, this is a great occasion to me. Nothing 
 could afford me more pleasure than to be remembered and 
 recognized as a son of Dublin this day. I am not an exception 
 to the general law, that the earliest associations and impres- 
 sions are the last to be effaced. Towards this, my native town, 
 I have always entertained a strong affection, which no separa- 
 tion, no increasing wealth or wide-spread reputation, can es- 
 trange; and, in all my active life, never have professional calls, 
 from any quarter, however distant or honorable they may 
 have been to me, been responded to with more alacrity and 
 satisfaction than to the inhabitants of these, my native hills. 
 Night or day, in storm or sunshine, has it always been pleasant 
 to me to serve you. I have always felt a more than paternal 
 regard towards you; and your confidence and reliance on me, 
 as your medical adviser, has always been a source of sincere 
 pleasure. You all very well know that no storms that ever 
 howled round this mountain in sternest winter ever prevented 
 me from attending to any pressing or urgent call, when any of 
 you or yours were in distress or danger. Such as I am, always 
 have I been at your service. 
 
 "Could I forget Dublin.? Could I forget that here sleep the 
 remains of all my early friends; my father; my mother; yes, 
 my mother, — that noble woman, to whom I owe so much, 
 and to whom, under Heaven, I am indebted for all that I am.'' 
 Believe me, my friends, no stronger tie was needed to bind me 
 to my native town than that my mother sleeps here. Her 
 memory, as it was the first of my impressions, so will it be the 
 last. Such a mother! There may have been many as good; 
 sure, none better. 
 
 "Living but a short distance from Dublin, through a long life, 
 have I watched with much interest the progress of my native 
 town; and nothing has given me more pleasure than to see the 
 very great advancement made during the few past years. 
 Though you may have but few sons to present this day, who 
 have been very prominent in the many varied walks of life, 
 yet you can offer what is of vastly more value and of greater 
 honor, — jewels of the finest lustre from every hill and valley 
 of this diversified and mountainous town. 
 
 "Such instances of universal mental culture, such general 
 
82 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 intellectual and moral development, as are here met with on 
 every hand, are worth all the reputation of having a few names 
 which stand high in the world's estimation, while the commu- 
 nity might be correspondingly low. Go on with your good work ; 
 be earnest, be zealous; let no effort be spared to rear up men 
 and women who shall be specimens of intelligence and integrity, 
 always bearing in mind that there is nothing in the world 
 worth caring for but knowledge and virtue. You have my 
 heartiest wishes for your prosperity. In all human probability, 
 it will not be permitted to me to witness many future changes 
 in the affairs of this town; for old age and its infirmities must 
 soon be creeping on, and I cannot escape its inexorable decree; 
 but I may be pardoned in humbly imploring, that, when I 
 change my earthly state, I may be called with the 'harness on,' 
 and in the full vigor of my mind." 
 
 I have thus very imperfectly represented what I suppose Dr. 
 Twitchell might have said, could he stand here and address 
 you on this occasion. I need hardly say to you, that it is no 
 easy matter for any one to imagine what such a man would 
 say, and, much more, attempt to make a poor imitation of his 
 thoughts and speech. 
 
 Well did a kind Providence accord to the oft-expressed wish 
 of our excellent friend: he was called home in his full mental 
 vigor, before hebetude or mental decay had touched him, be- 
 fore he had lost one jot or tittle of his ability or skill. Blessed 
 memory of the great and good physician! ten times more 
 blessed in our affections than to our ambition to call him great ! 
 
 In the language of the sentiment, well may this town be 
 proud of such a son as Dr. Twitchell : such descendants always 
 bring honor to the domestic hearth, and no less to the place of 
 their birth. Never was there a better specimen of our race 
 physically, — his exterior large, stately, commanding; his 
 head massive, with a high intellectual forehead; piercing eyes, 
 that looked keenly enough on some occasions; a countenance 
 strongly exhibiting confidence and self-reliance, — enough 
 truly in physical conformation to make a man in the truest 
 sense of the word. And such he was and he was no less superior 
 and commanding intellectually than he was physically. He 
 possessed a strongly developed intellect of the first order, 
 together with a wondrous and peculiar vein of wit, humor, 
 sarcasm, and fun, that led his biographer to term some of his 
 mirthful effusions as Twitchellian. There was something in his 
 personal appearance alone, without a particle of haughtiness or 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 83 
 
 pride, which were entirely foreign to his nature, that forcibly 
 impressed strangers with the idea that he was no common 
 man. And how strongly would this opinion be confirmed, if he 
 opened his mouth! for truly such originality, such power and 
 force of thought, such funds of humor and anecdote, would ap- 
 pear, as no man could utter who was not among the gifted of 
 his race. What Dr. Johnson said of Burke applies to him with 
 equal force: "If," says he, "a man were to go by chance at the 
 same time with Burke under a shed to shun a shower, he 
 would say, 'This is no extraordinary man.' If Burke should 
 go into a stable to see his horse dressed, the ostler would say, 
 'We have an extraordinary man here.'" We can say, with 
 great truth, that Dr. Twitchell was an extraordinary man, a 
 superior man, a great man. He was great in all his purposes, 
 great in his life, determined in his will, and possessed of that 
 indomitable perseverance that is ever connected with the high- 
 est success of human life. He was never daunted; he met every 
 case with skill, self-possession, perseverance, and unwearied 
 effort, as long as there was any hope. He discarded from his 
 vocabulary altogether the word fail; and consequently he often 
 succeeded when the chance seemed hopeless. 
 
 Dr. Twitchell was an extraordinary man in his natural en- 
 dowments; and, wherever he might have been placed, and in 
 whatever sphere, he was destined to excel. But he did not owe 
 all his superiority to nature and genius alone, great as it was; 
 it was only attained by long and hard study, — by careful ob- 
 servation and experience, by constant training and application 
 to the last day of his life. He was not what might be called a 
 learned man, a man of books and book-knowledge; his active 
 and laborious life forbade it; yet few men had more reliable 
 knowledge at their command, knowledge that was always just 
 ready when it was wanted; and few men were better "posted 
 up" in all the improvements, new remedies, or important dis- 
 coveries in his profession. He always had knowledge for every 
 case; and he had, above other men, a kind of intuition, by 
 which he arrived at conclusions in the investigation of diseases 
 in a moment of time, while other minds were slowly going 
 through all the processes of a careful examination to arrive at 
 the same result. However rapidly he might have reached his 
 conclusion, it was not safe to hold the opposite opinion, if one 
 were solicitous to be in the right. 
 
 This wonderful faculty of his, called in medicine diagnosis, 
 often unsealed the dark recesses of disease; often rendered that 
 
84 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 which before seemed unintelHgible pkiin and clear and brought 
 in Hght where only darkness had prevailed before. So rapid 
 were his investigations, and so easily did he appear to reach his 
 conclusions, that many who saw him could think it only a 
 superior kind of guessing. Yet no man had better reasons for 
 his opinions; and he could make all these so clear and plain, 
 that even those unacquainted with the human form could 
 readily apprehend, from his forcible and peculiar representa- 
 tions, what part of the system was diseased, how much danger 
 it portended, and on what principle the cure should be at- 
 tempted. It was now made so plain, that the wonder was, that 
 all this was not seen before. Against the opathics and isms of 
 the day, he was accustomed to utter no measured invectives 
 and cutting sarcasms. "That men and women uneducated in 
 the healing art should have the presumption to descant upon 
 the principles of homoeopathy or hydropathy, or any other of 
 the new-fangled systems of empiricism, as though they could 
 understand their vast superiority over the long-established 
 system of medicine, and be ready to utter invectives and ana- 
 themas with all that confidence which ignorance usually inspires 
 was to him a monstrous absurdity. It may be well imagined 
 that he met all such cases with the most stinging sarcasm. He 
 would have considered it a prostitution of reason to have called 
 in its aid to weed out what had its only foundation in self- 
 interest or caprice." He abhorred quackery of all the hateful 
 things in the world, not less in medicine than in religion or any- 
 thing else. 
 
 He was by many supposed to be a skeptic, because he could 
 not endure cant and hypocrisy, — because he scorned preten- 
 sion where there was no heart. We have every reason to be- 
 lieve that he possessed an unqualified belief in God and im- 
 mortality. He always reverenced the true manifestations of 
 piety, wherever exhibited. When a female acquaintance (says 
 his biographer), while under high religious excitement, with 
 the kindest intentions and the utmost sincerity, called to con- 
 verse with him, saying that God had sent her to speak boldly 
 to him on the state of his soul, and urging him, through religion 
 and the church, to prepare for death that might happen to him 
 at any moment, — he heard her with gentleness, and thanked 
 her for her kind thoughts, and concluded by saying, "But, my 
 friend, you are mistaken. God never told you to call on me. 
 He knows my heart better than any one else, and I know he 
 never sent you. Our prayers," he said, "should arise in every 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 85 
 
 action of our lives; and we should be continually prepared for 
 death, by always living rightly." Noble thought, kindly ex- 
 pressed by a true heart! 
 
 The time and occasion will not permit me to speak of his 
 professional qualifications. I need only say, that such was his 
 reputation as a surgeon and physician, that he was universally 
 acknowledged to rank among the most eminent of New Eng- 
 land. Indeed, his bold and successful operations carried his 
 fame to every part of our country; nor was his name unknown 
 to the profession in the old world. 
 
 But, alas! as has been beautifully said, "His life died with 
 him," So few and meagre are the writings he has left, and these 
 so unworthy of his great fame, that it must be said that he now 
 only lives in tradition and in the transitory memories of the 
 living. 
 
 Fame thus transmitted, how uncertain and short-lived! 
 Such great beacon lights of their age should rear to them- 
 selves, in their lives, some permanent work, that may be a dur- 
 able monument to their fame. 
 
 In the death of such a man, how much do we regret that such 
 stores of experience, of knowledge, of tact and skill, should all 
 perish at once! But this is the unalterable decree of our nature: 
 our light, however bright, — however wide it may throw its 
 beams, and however much illumine the dark places and dark 
 scenes of earth, — must go out. This excellent man bowed to 
 the common lot of all; and, while we ought to rejoice that he 
 was spared in his usefulness and prime to the allotted period 
 of human life, threescore years and ten, nevertheless we can- 
 not but follow his departure with sincere sorrow, because — 
 
 "He was a man, take him for all in all. 
 We shall not look upon his like again." 
 
 How worthy of commemoration is such a man on an occasion 
 like this! How many pleasant memories cluster round his 
 name, as we here utter it on the first Centennial of Dublin! 
 May distant posterity learn his character and fame; and may 
 his life of good deeds, benevolent acts, and untiring devotion 
 to the good of his fellow-man, be so deeply impressed upon the 
 history of our times, that future aspirants for fame may learn 
 that it is only to be attained through excellence, goodness, and 
 usefulness. 
 
86 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 I close with the following sentiment, suggested by these 
 remarks : — 
 
 "Greatness and Goodness: — Though not now always asso- 
 ciated, may the time soon be hastened, when to be great is to be good." 
 
 16. Thirteenth sentiment: — 
 "Our Departed Friends. — 
 
 "Friend after friend departs. 
 Who has not lost a friend?" 
 Nay, "Not lost, but gone before." 
 
 Music — "Strike the Harp Gently," etc. 
 
 17. Fourteenth sentiment: — 
 
 "Our Female Friends: — Forming the mind and character of 
 youth, smoothing the asperity of manhood, and soothing the infirmity 
 of age. Their intellectual and moral culture is the best guarantee for 
 the welfare and happiness of those who come after us." 
 
 To this, Mrs. J. K. Smith responded as follows : — 
 
 If the sentiment just read was intended by the committee, 
 or is considered by others, as a compliment to the ladies, I reply 
 that it is but simple justice. If it was meant as flattery, I take 
 them at their word because it is true. By taking this position, 
 I claim for my sex nothing beyond or above what is clearly 
 indicated by the allotment of Providence. The traits of char- 
 acter here enumerated are those in which woman is peculiarly 
 qualified to excel, — those in which it was clearly designed by 
 our Maker that she should excel. The possession of these quali- 
 ties, therefore, implies no peculiar merit; but the absence of 
 them in a female indicates a great deficiency in the true female 
 character. The sexes have different oflSces to perform in the 
 economy of social life, and admirably are they fitted by nature 
 for the places assigned them. The one is qualified to make up 
 the deficiencies of the other, that united they may make as 
 perfect a ho7ne as is consistent with the imperfections of mortal- 
 ity. As has been said or sung: — 
 
 "Man is the rugged, lofty pine; 
 Woman, the soft and flexile vine, 
 Whose clasping tendrils round it twine, 
 And deck its rough bark sweetly o'er." 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 87 
 
 But although, as I said, the possession of these qualifications 
 implies no merit, it does imply a great, a fearful responsibility. 
 The character of the young, the comfort and welfare of all, is 
 in some measure put into our hands ; and woe be to us if we per- 
 vert or misapply our power. Who can take the infant, and un- 
 fold the budding beauties of his mind like the mother.'' — who, 
 like her, draw forth his affections, and develop the moral na- 
 ture implanted in his soul? Who, like her, can lead the child 
 along the rough pathway of life, and make it a "path of pleasant- 
 ness and peace," because the path of virtue.^* The latent powers 
 of his mind, the blushing flowrets of his soul, come forth at her 
 bidding, or they remain in their dark recesses forever. 
 
 And man, too, in his highest estate, how much of his com- 
 fort and happiness depends on the character of his wife ! It has 
 been said, that the greatest man must "ask leave" of his wife 
 to prosper, or to be happy. And there is very much of trutli in 
 the remark. 
 
 In sickness or sorrow, or old age, whose hands can bring al- 
 leviation, whose words cheer and bless, whose sympathy and 
 affection bring all our better feelings into action like the kind 
 ministrations of the wife or mother or daughter .^^ 
 
 Standing thus at the very fountain of social and domestic 
 life, on her it greatly depends whether the streams issuing 
 therefrom shall be sweet or bitter. Ministering at the altar 
 of connubial intercourse, the happiness or misery of her house- 
 hold is in her keeping. Happy would it be for many a family, 
 if the female head duly appreciated her position, and cheerfully 
 and conscientiously performed all the duties it imposes. 
 
 In the performance of these duties, the females of the present 
 day may well take lessons from the generations that have pre- 
 ceded them here. The trials and hardships of the mothers of 
 the town drew out many admirable traits in their character. 
 Patience under privation, fortitude in suffering, firmness in 
 danger, and skill in all domestic accomplishments, qualified 
 them for their position as the pioneers of civilization; and, at 
 the same time, the circumstance in which they were placed 
 served to develop these very qualities they so much needed. 
 If the present generation is largely indebted, for the character 
 they sustain, to the worthy females of the past century, ought 
 not we to see to it that the generations of the next century are 
 under equal obligations to us.^* If we duly appreciate the im- 
 portance of the position we occupy, and conscientiously dis- 
 charge the momentous trusts committed to us, then indeed 
 
88 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 will the "welfare and happiness of those who come after us" 
 be comparatively secure, and the blessings accruing to the 
 present generation greatly enhanced. 
 
 18. Fifteenth sentiment: — 
 
 "The Contribution of Dublin to the Population of our 
 Large Cities. — Among them are men whose untiring business- 
 habits have enabled them to amass much wealth; but their gold has 
 not encrusted their hearts. We trust their liberality and benevolence 
 will continue to increase in a ratio proportionate to their additional 
 means." 
 
 Solomon Piper, Esq., of Boston, spoke as follows: — 
 
 Mr. President, — I have been called upon to respond to a 
 very flattering sentiment. I only regret it is not better de- 
 served. I am unaccustomed to public speaking, and shall not 
 attempt to make a speech. In the few remarks I propose to 
 offer, I trust I shall be pardoned if I follow my own inclina- 
 tion, rather than the suggestions of the sentiment, and speak of 
 my native town and its interests. 
 
 Public speaking was not among the branches taught in the 
 schools of my day. The condition of the schools in Dublin at 
 that day would compare very unfavorably with those of the 
 present time. Our schools were then kept but a small portion 
 of the year. The schoolhouses were small, inconvenient, and 
 uncomfortable. Old hats were the common substitute for 
 broken panes of glass; and it was not unusual, on a cold morn- 
 ing, for a detachment of the larger boys to be sent into the 
 adjacent fields to collect decayed stumps to replenish the fire; 
 and a large portion of the time of the scholars was spent in vain 
 attempts to keep themselves comfortable. 
 
 Just forty-two years ago, at the age of nearly twenty-one, I 
 shouldered my bundle, containing all my worldly effects, and 
 started for Boston on foot, in pursuit of employment. I soon 
 engaged in a business which I have ever since prosecuted on 
 the same spot. During that comparatively long period of 
 man's life, there has been no very striking change in the phys- 
 ical appearance of my native town. The same mountains 
 and hills appear in the distance; the same streams trickle down 
 their sides; and generally the same houses and fields and or- 
 chards are still in view. But, Mr. President, the occupants of 
 those houses, the cultivators of those fields, where are they.? 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 89 
 
 Alas! where are they? A generation has passed away; and their 
 faces, once so famihar, with few exceptions, are seen no more. 
 At that time, I could call by name nearly every man and wo- 
 man in the town. Now I feel almost among strangers. 
 
 But the moral and intellectual change has been most gratify- 
 ing. For many years after I left the town, I was rather ashamed 
 to acknowledge the place of my nativity. If I said I came from 
 Dublin, the first remark was, "That is the town where Parson 
 Sprague lives, is it not.^*" and then would follow some half a 
 dozen of the stale jokes attributed to that old gentleman. 
 But latterly a great change has been wrought in the public 
 mind, and Dublin is no longer a by-word. Her praises are 
 abroad, and her sons are no longer ashamed of their parentage. 
 Now it is said that Dublin is the residence of Dr. Leonard, — 
 Father Leonard, as some familiarly call him. They go on to 
 say, that Dr. Leonard has done more to improve the moral 
 and intellectual condition of those under his influence than any 
 other clergyman within our knowledge. He has the best Sun- 
 day-school in the country. The common schools and school- 
 houses are a model for all others. The children of both sexes 
 are well behaved and respectful, to a degree that attracts the 
 notice and approbation of the passing stranger; and, of the 
 numerous young men who, from time to time, have gone out 
 into the world hardly one is known not to have done credit to 
 his native town. 
 
 These are some of the blessed fruits of the well-directed 
 efforts of a devoted minister, seconded, as they certainly have 
 been, by the cooperation of many excellent men and women. 
 It is true that a little excitement occasionally arises among the 
 inhabitants about the location of a schoolhouse, a road, or a 
 meetinghouse, or perhaps about the music in the church; 
 but these soon subside, and things move on harmoniously as 
 before. 
 
 Allusion has been made to the late Parson Sprague; and I 
 cannot forbear to add one word. Mr. Sprague was a very 
 peculiar man; and I cannot say he was instrumental in doing 
 much good in his lifetime. But the noble bequests he made in 
 the disposition of his property conferred a lasting blessing upon 
 the town, and should be held in grateful remembrance. 
 
 Mr. President, I love my native town. Everything con- 
 nected with it has a peculiar interest. The very mountains 
 and hills, the rocks and the streams, are endeared to me by my 
 earliest associations. Here were the scenes of my youthful 
 
90 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 sports. It was here that the foundation of my future Hfe and 
 character was laid. It was here that my dearest relatives and 
 friends have ever lived; and it is in yonder graveyard, between 
 the mountain and that beautiful lake, that the ashes of my 
 beloved parents and brothers and sisters repose. Nothing 
 that relates to Dublin escapes my notice, or is without an in- 
 terest; and I trust, that, as long as consciousness remains, the 
 same feeling will reside in my breast. 
 
 Mr. President, I rejoice to see this day, and be able to par- 
 ticipate in the festivities of the occasion. It is good for us to 
 assemble on this anniversary, and look back to the day of small 
 things, and survey the distance we have travelled; to erect a 
 landmark for future generations to refer to. It is good for us, 
 who have strayed from the land of our fathers, once more to 
 return, and greet each other and those we have left behind at 
 the old homestead; and I thank God we this day have the 
 opportunity. 
 
 Dublin has a hard, stubborn soil, but, like the other parts of 
 the Granite State, from which we are proud to hail, produces 
 strong men and women. Mr. President, in conclusion, I would 
 say to my brethren and friends. Go on and persevere in the 
 good works you have so well begun. Continue to cherish and 
 support your churches and schools; and let no root of bitter- 
 ness spring up to retard or mar your progress. 
 
 Mr. President, I will conclude by offering the following 
 sentiment : — 
 
 "The Inhabitants of my Native Town. — May knowledge 
 and virtue continue to increase and abound to the latest posterity." 
 
 19. Sixteenth sentiment: — 
 
 "The American Flag: — A century ago, not thought of; three- 
 fourths of a century ago, despised and derided as a 'piece of striped 
 hunting;' now waving gloriously over thirty-one states at home, and 
 invoked as a barrier against oppression and tyranny abroad. (Thanks 
 to our friend who has kindly furnished one for the present occasion.") 
 
 Tune — "Yankee Doodle" 
 
 Captain Henry C. Piper responded: — 
 
 Mr. President, — The Flag of our Union, first raised in a 
 humble village, has advanced in successive strides from the 
 Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico, and now in 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 91 
 
 triumph floats over the heads of more than twenty millions of 
 the freest and happiest people of the earth. Nor have these 
 mighty ocean barriers been sufficient to inclose it. The winds 
 have lent their aid, and upon their ready pinions borne it to 
 every accessible port between the polar oceans, whether in 
 Europe, Asia, Africa, or the green islands of the far Pacific. 
 
 In the days of the Colonial Confederation in America, it was 
 hailed as an emblem in the clouds of the union of thirteen 
 sister, sovereign nations, to establish and maintain civil and 
 religions liberty; in Europe as the sign of promise, as the dawn 
 of a day, which, though long obscured by the clouds of ignor- 
 ance and superstition and the gloom of despotism, will yet 
 break forth in full perfection, illumined by the light of universal 
 freedom. To the teeming millions of remoter regions, it has 
 borne the gifts of civilization and Christian truth. Ay ! it is a 
 beacon fast becoming visible to all mankind; leading savage, 
 barbarous, civilized, and enlightened humanity onward and 
 upward to that elevation the Almighty intended they should 
 occupy. 
 
 In the earlier days of the Union, its upholders and defenders 
 were few in number, yet fearless and determined in their pur- 
 pose, with a firm faith in the equity of their cause. Had their 
 efforts resulted in a failure, their lives would have been sacri- 
 ficed, their estates confiscated, and all their bright honors 
 buried beneath the deepest ignominy their haughty captors 
 could heap upon the names of vanquished rebels. 
 
 But not so. There stood Washington; great, good; the 
 Father of American Independence, with manly bearing; the 
 leader, military, afterwards both civil and military, of that 
 patriot-band; — Jefferson and Adams, the author and defender 
 of the Declaration of Independence; — Lafayette, who de- 
 clared resistance to oppression one of the most sacred of duties, 
 rendering indispensable service in the revolutionary contest, 
 second in wisdom and true valor to none but the immortal 
 Washington; — Hamilton, Arthur Lee, Richard Henry Lee, 
 Franklin, Hancock, Green, Knox, and a few others, in all not 
 too numerous to assemble in a town hall of ordinary dimen- 
 sions, yet invincible. 
 
 In later days of our republic, as in 1812 and 1815, we find in 
 the hour of danger a more numerous throng clustered around 
 our standard, and upon the pages of our history new names, — 
 a Clay, a Bayard, and another Adams; in the tented field a 
 Scott, a Jackson, a Taylor; and on the ocean a Hull, a Decatur, 
 
92 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 a Bainbridge, and a Perry; all bold and fearless, even unto 
 deaih, when that sacred banner was assailed, their country in- 
 vaded, and their firesides in danger. 
 
 And who now support our flagstaff, and uphold the union of 
 these states? Ah! yes, men still are found of spotless patriot- 
 ism, and, I had almost said, of godlike wisdom and mental 
 greatness, ever ready to risk "life," "fortune," and "honor," 
 that the great American example may not falter while they 
 live. May our nation ever be favored with such men to guide 
 us in the council chamber, and lead us in the battle-field ! 
 
 But, sir, the sun of this last day of a hundred years since 
 civilization marked these hills and vales is fast declining. 
 Never again shall another morn, numbered and marked as this 
 has been, unseal our eyelids, or cause our hearts to leap with 
 joy, and our lips to move in celebration for the national, state, 
 and town prosperity we have so long enjoyed. I will not 
 trespass on so precious time. 
 
 "The Flag of our Union: long may it wave 
 O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave, — " 
 
 as long as sustenance for man shall be produced from the earth, 
 or drawn up from the sea; till all the sons of America be as 
 plants grown up in their youth, and her daughters as corner- 
 stones polished after the similitude of a palace. 
 
 20. Seventeenth sentiment: — 
 
 " Old Monadnock. — 
 
 ' And while a world of human pride, 
 With all its grandeur melts away, 
 And spreads around the rocky side 
 The broken fragments of decay; 
 Oh ! let us learn from thee to rise. 
 All time and change and chance defying, 
 Still pointing upward to the skies, 
 And on the inward strength relying.'" 
 
 Daniel Elliot, M.D., of Marlborough, N. Y., sent the 
 
 following : — 
 
 Marlboro', N. Y., June 10, 1852. 
 
 Gentlemen: 
 
 I have received your invitation to be present at the centennial cele- 
 bration of the settlement of my native town on the 17th instant. I 
 need not assure you of the great pleasure it would afford me to be 
 
:^>AJci.i^ /^6^a.:r^^ 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 93 
 
 among you on that interesting occasion; to exchange congratula- 
 tions, recall reminiscences, and mingle sympathies, with such as 
 remain from among the friends of my boyhood. But circumstances 
 beyond my control will deprive me of that gratification. I pray you to 
 accept my thanks for your kind and flattering invitation, and to 
 offer to my brethren of the good old town of Dublin my hearty con- 
 gratulations on their prosperous condition, and my earnest wishes 
 for their onward and upward progress. 
 
 The committee will also accept my grateful acknowledgments for 
 the part assigned me in the exercises of the day, — to speak to "Old 
 Monadnock," my venerable and long-cherished friend! Nothing 
 could be more congenial to my feelings. His image, in all its aspects, 
 is ineffaceably impressed upon the tablets of my memory. His very 
 name strikes a chord within me that vibrates as to the sound of grand 
 and solemn music. His idea is part and parcel of my being; and to 
 his influence on my young imagination do I owe much of the enjoy- 
 ment I have derived from nature's varied works. I remember 'him 
 when clothed with verdant foliage to the very summit. I saw, year 
 after year, the devouring flames climbing his lofty sides, exhibiting 
 him to the surrounding country as a dread volcano or a giant beacon, 
 till half his leafy mantle disappeared. But I liked him best in naked 
 majesty, — bald, hoary, stern, asserting his own fixed character. 
 Many a toilsome pilgrimage have I made to his lofty summit, to 
 feast upon the wide-spread banquet for the eye that stretches in all 
 directions from his base. I have spread my blanket on the mossy 
 rocks of his bleak and hoary brow, watching the brilliant stars 
 through the solemn stillness of the night, to catch the first gleaming of 
 the dawn, and hail the earliest beams of the rising sun, while all 
 below was dim and misty; and richly did the glory of the scene repay 
 the toil. 
 
 I have visited mountains more known to fame, — have stood on 
 higher elevations; but from no point have I found the view so satis- 
 factory — uniting so much of grandeur, beauty, variety, and extent 
 — as from the brow of old Monadnock. I hail him King of Moun- 
 tains! "May his shadow never be less!" 
 
 Thus far had I indulged in pleasant reminiscences of my exalted 
 friend, seated in a dreamy mood, before his ample portraiture, that 
 hangs upon my wall, when suddenly there seemed a strange commo- 
 tion on the canvas. Clouds rolled up and covered his head, as with a 
 turban; a mild, electric light played through them; and there was a 
 heaving of his sides, as from strong internal throes. Across the view 
 floated a mist, which gradually, and with more and more distinct- 
 ness, assumed the "form and fashion of a man." I knew him for the 
 Genius of the mountain, and bowed in silent reverence. 
 
 "Presuming mortal!" said the shadowy form, "how dare thou 
 answer, when 't is mine to give response to the loyal greetings of my 
 subjects? What canst thou, the insect of a day, know of me or my 
 
94 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 history? Thou speakest of having seen me covered with green, as if 
 it were in the olden time, — my very youth. Such is the Uttleness of 
 man's conception! Couldst thou look back into the past with me, 
 thou mightst learn to scorn the measure of what men call antiquity. 
 A brief glance behind the veil is all I deign to give thee, in reward of 
 thy tried loyalty. I will not reveal the mystery of my birth, — in 
 what chaotic and far-distant period, — by what mighty force, — 
 amid what earth-rending convulsions, my massive body was uphoven 
 to the light of day. Barren ages passed, and my naked form was still 
 standing solitary amid a waste of waters. Where the forests now 
 girdle my sides, then gambolled the rude monsters of the deep. As 
 time rolled on, I gladly hailed the companionship of peak after peak 
 emerging to the view within my wide horizon. Other untold ages 
 passed, and behold me clothed in waving foliage, — the waters gath- 
 ered to their place, and the wide-spread earth below me rich in luxuri- 
 ant verdure. Then was my holyday. Beast and bird coursed freely 
 round my sides, drank at my clear fountains, and reposed beneath the 
 shadow of my rocks. The winds played gaily through the forest; and, 
 when the thunder-clouds approached, I lured them to me, and sported 
 with the forked lightning. In time appeared before me a new class 
 of beings in the form of man, rude and unsettled. They saw the 
 earliest sunbeams ever salute my brow, and the clouds gather about 
 me, as if obedient to my call, before the storm broke below. With 
 superstitious awe they worshipped, and Monadnock, the Thunder- 
 father, named me. 
 
 " Centuries moved on their course, fruitless of change, when a new 
 era dawned. In all directions, I perceived large inroads on the for- 
 ests. Towering smoke by day, and gleaming fires by night, attested 
 that a new race of men had invaded my domains. Not without indig- 
 nation did I note their sacrilegious warfare on the primeval forests 
 at my feet. At length a new prospect lay before me, — lakes, rescued 
 from obscurity, and gleaming in the sun; hills and valleys, clothed 
 with the rich and varying tints of culture; the countless habitations 
 of a stable race, wath clustering villages and heaven-pointing spires. 
 It was a goodly scene, and I forgave the rude disturbers of my soli- 
 tude, — nay, hailed them friends. 
 
 "And first in my regards stand these, my faithful and long-cherished 
 sons, who now, on their grand festival, forget not to invoke my name 
 with reverence. They have sat beneath my shadow for a century; 
 and more of my spirit has been shed upon them than on my other 
 subjects. Three generations have passed before me, rich in granitic 
 virtues. In yonder fields, near the pure waters of the quiet lake, lies 
 many a venerable head, whose strength of intellect, unsoiled integrity, 
 and unwavering sense of right, have done due honor to their pilgrim- 
 sires. Bid their descendants emulate their fathers in all their manly 
 virtues. Let them thank Heaven that light has been shed abroad 
 among them by an untiring hand, whose mission was to purify and 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 95 
 
 elevate the young. On the broad foundation thus secured, tell them 
 to build with ever-upward view. From the pure region of my lofty 
 seat, I breathe my blessing on them. May they stand firm in virtue, 
 relying on the 'Rock of Ages'!" 
 
 The Vision Passed: you have the message, — and my duty ends. 
 
 Danl. Elliot. 
 
 To Messrs. J. K. Smith, A. H. Fisk, and R. N. Porter, 
 
 Comviittee. 
 
 21. The following sentiment was offered by J. K. Smith: — 
 
 "The Liberty of the Press: — Having been guarded for fifty 
 years by a trusty 'Sentinel,' we consider it safe now, if he is relieved 
 from his post." 
 
 Hon. John Prentiss, of Keene, for fifty years ^ editor of the 
 "New Hampshire Sentinel," sent the following; he being obliged 
 to leave before the close of the celebration : — 
 
 Mr. President, — I should have availed myself of the great 
 occasion of this centennial celebration, had I not been honored 
 by an invitation from your committee. Besides the pleasure 
 anticipated from greeting many friends, other than the present 
 residents, and natives who have come up from abroad, once 
 more to visit the scenes of their youth, my forty-eight years 
 of intercourse with so many of the fathers and the sons of 
 Dublin, as contributors to the support of the press I established 
 in the last century, imposed obligations to be present on this 
 joyous occasion. 
 
 Before railroads, or even stages, were established, a large 
 number of your most respectable men in Dublin, as well as in 
 most of the other towns in the county, became voluntary post- 
 riders, by clubbing and engaging to see the bundle of Sentinels 
 deposited at the place assigned on the day of publication. In 
 some of the smaller towns, twenty-six would unite, and go to 
 Keene twice a year; in others larger, fifty-two, and so go only 
 once a year; and, again, in others, even seventy-five and more. 
 As it was my duty to notify, "Your turn next," — and many 
 present doubtless remember these -primitive times, — they could 
 generally make other business, and so, by saving a regular post- 
 rider's fee, did not think it a hardship. Each man also paid 
 down, satisfied that the consideration was a little more valuable 
 
 1 Mr. Prentiss founded the Sentinel in 1799, and lived until 1873, having had a lit- 
 erary connection with that paper for about seventy-four years, living to be the oldest, 
 as he was one of the most highly honored journalists in America. — J. L. S. 
 
96 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 than even the hard-earned money in their pockets; and this 
 kept the ribs of the press well oiled. 
 
 Most subscribers, insulated at that period, depended on my 
 press for their weekly history of occurring events, foreign and 
 domestic; and this consideration imposed a bounden duty to 
 present things truly, and live up to my motto, some twenty 
 years at the head of the paper, viz. : "I will speak of the things I 
 have seen, and touch upon those reported, that the people may 
 consider the Whole Matter." 
 
 The Press is a vast engine, in a free country, for good or 
 evil, according as it is conducted, with honesty and intelligence, 
 or by the unprincipled or ignorant. That I had the counte- 
 nance of good men, aside from sectarian prejudice, for a series 
 of years, I can only infer from constant support for so long a 
 period, and from the fathers in Dublin in particular. I have an 
 anecdote to relate in proof. One paper-morning, Mr. Hunting- 
 ton, the proprietor and driver of the stage to Peterborough, 
 started at the usual hour; and, after proceeding about a mile, 
 he recollected that he had forgotten the Dublin and other 
 bundles of papers. He wheeled about, and came driving up 
 to the office. "What's the matter.?" "Why, I left the papers, 
 and I should not dare to drive through Dublin without them: 
 they would kill me outright!" 
 
 I am glad that on this occasion justice has been done to the 
 character of Dublin's great benefactor, the late Rev. jVIr. 
 Sprague. I knew him pretty well. Half a century ago this 
 month, I dined at his hospitable mansion; and, afterwards, 
 had with him frequent intercourse. He was eccentric, and 
 often amused himself by questions and remarks, which gave 
 rise to a hundred strange anecdotes, in which his language 
 was often distorted, with additions to give it point. Thus I 
 have heard that, once preaching upon the importance of faith, 
 he said it could remove mountains, even Monadnock; but, 
 looking up, that hillock being visible from the pulpit, he is said 
 to have added, "'hardly.'' The latter portion was probably 
 added by some one else. About the time I first visited him, 
 the late Rev. Mr. Dunbar was settled at Peterborough. He 
 told me he was in Peterborough when Mr. Dunbar was preach- 
 ing as a candidate, and several of the old Presbyterians (Scotch- 
 Irish) came round him, and asked: "Mr. Sprague, what shall 
 wedowiththisMr. Dun-6ar.?" "What's the matter?" "Why, 
 he preaches nothing but works, works, works." "Oh!" re- 
 plied Mr. Sprague, "if that is all, you will never be hurt; it will 
 do you good; for never did a people more need such preaching 
 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 97 
 
 than those of Peterborough." The encounter of wits was the 
 keenest with his brother Ains worth, of Jaffrey, who often 
 visited him. Mr. Sprague's rehgious views were decidedly 
 anti-Calvinistic. One day, it is said, he took Mr. Ainsworth 
 into his four-horse coach for a ride. On going down hill, the 
 coachman whipped up the horses to a degree to alarm Mr. 
 Ainsworth, who called out, "Mr. Sprague, we should certainly 
 be smashed at this rate!" "What's the matter, brother Ains- 
 worth.'* never fear. You know that, if it is decreed we are to be 
 smashed, we can't help it; so we may as well be quiet!" In the 
 pulpit, Mr. Sprague was solemn in his exhortations to attend 
 to the great concern of the soul's welfare. 
 
 Though it doth not become us to say too much in praise of 
 living benefactors, I cannot forbear, as it belongs to the history 
 of Dublin, as well as that it is connected with the press, to say 
 that, within the last ten or fifteen years, scarcely less than one 
 hundred short essays — moral hints for the young, in aid of a 
 higher standard for our common schools, and to promote the 
 cause of temperance — have been the production of a citizen ^ 
 of Dublin, high in your confidence, and highly respected where- 
 ever known. 
 
 In one of these essays, the importance of Institutes, for the 
 better qualification of common-school teachers, was dwelt 
 upon with much earnestness. This was followed by the offer 
 of $10 by one individual towards the expenses; and the next 
 week brought the pledge of $10 more from Dublin. The sub- 
 scription was speedily filled. After two or three years, the 
 legislature authorized towns to raise money for the object, and 
 now provision is made by law. The example of Cheshire was 
 followed by several other counties; and, under the present 
 efficient Board of County Commissioners, these excellent sub- 
 stitutes for normal schools will, I trust, be continued. 
 
 I offer as a sentiment : — 
 
 " Dublin. — Elevated in its position by nature, it is not less so by 
 the high ground it occupies in its moral and religious standing; its 
 early action, in banishing from within its limits the sale of intoxicat- 
 ing drinks ; and as the pioneer, under the Oberlin ^ of our country, 
 in promoting education, as manifested by the vast improvement of 
 our common schools and schoolhouses."

 22. The following sentiment was proposed by J. K. Smith : — 
 
 " Beard's Telegraph : — Transmitting intelligence with less rapid- 
 ity than Morse's, but in a language that all can read and understand." 
 
 Mr. Beard ^ sent the following response: — 
 
 Mr. President, — When it was announced, sometime ago, 
 that you were going to have a centennial celebration here, I 
 formed the purpose, at once, to be present; but with no inten- 
 tion of making, or expectation of being called upon to make, 
 either a speech or a response to a sentiment which, by any 
 process, could be made to appear as designed to involve me in 
 any such duty; though a kind friend has suggested that I ought 
 to say a word for Old Nelson. 
 
 Sir, it was my good fortune to be born, and to spend the 
 years of early boyhood, in that most excellent town; but I have 
 been a wanderer long from the old familiar haunts of my child- 
 hood, and her good people will hardly recognize my right to 
 speak for them. I take it that Nelson is here to speak for her- 
 self, if there is any need, by a more fitting tongue than mine; 
 and yet I would most gladly say a word for her myself, if there 
 were need. Hers are my own native hills; and though my 
 family name even exists there only in the record of the past, 
 and I am almost literally a stranger there, — almost without 
 kith or kin of any name, — I feel the strongest attachment to 
 her rugged soil, and enjoy, more than any other of my wander- 
 ings, my occasional visits — unknowing and unknown — to 
 the now deserted homestead of my fathers, and the graves of 
 the loved ones who sleep in the old church-yard. God bless 
 her, and her hardy sons everywhere ! 
 
 Undoubtedly, Nelson has some right to be heard here to- 
 day. In the early history of your town, the twain were joined 
 together for more purposes than one. I believe the father of 
 the late Dr. Twitchell, of Keene, once represented the towns of 
 Dublin and Nelson (then Packersfield and, after the name was 
 changed, called, "for short" I suppose, Pecker-Nelson by the 
 "outside barbarians," sometimes) in the General Court; and 
 the connection, for the purpose of representation, was kept up, 
 I cannot tell how long. 
 
 But there was another way in which the two towns were as- 
 sociated, which took a much stronger hold upon my mind than 
 any mere civil union. I don't know, Mr. President, that you or

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 99 
 
 many of the present citizens of Dublin have a very vivid rec- 
 ollection of the Old Nelson and Dublin "Troop." But I shall 
 never forget it. To my boyish eyes, there was not in the whole 
 wide world, to the best of my knowledge and belief, anything 
 in the military line to compare with it. You had your own mili- 
 tary pet here, whose acquaintance I afterwards made; and 
 that may have helped somewhat to modify my extravagant 
 ideas of the "Troop." I refer to the old "Dublin Grenadiers," 
 long since gone the way of all the military portion of the earth 
 in New Hampshire. But those "Troopers," with their scarlet 
 coats and trousers, their big bear-skin caps and bobbing red 
 feathers, their broad black sword-belts and glistening brass 
 breastplates, their long bloody-looking swords and piratical- 
 looking pistols, and their elaborately, if not gorgeously, capari- 
 soned chargers, — was there ever anything more attractive? 
 But these same pistols, and these "Troopers," — "distance 
 lent enchantment to the view." I was mortally afraid of the 
 one, and hardly dared venture on a close intimacy with the 
 other. It will not do, Mr. President, for me to suggest here 
 that you yourself might have been, for aught that I know, one 
 of those same "Dublin Troopers" who used so terribly to 
 frighten me from my propriety." But, if you do not remember, 
 you must have heard of the military customs of that day. My 
 father had the honor — and it was an honor then — to com- 
 mand that company of "ostentatious dragoons"; and, when 
 the parade was in Nelson, they used to come round that way, 
 — these "Dublin Troopers." There are men here to-day who 
 have stopped, more than once, down by the watering-trough, 
 with the tops of their scarlet plumes in sight from the house, 
 while they loaded those formidable pistols to the very muzzle, 
 to give the Cap'n a waker. And when they rode up in single 
 file, and each "delivered his fire" at the unoffending door-sill, 
 I must confess that, for the instant, I lost a little of my ad- 
 miration for their gaudy trappings. Aside from that, the days 
 when the "Troop rode" in Nelson were days to be marked and 
 remembered. 
 
 But enough of this, and enough of anything from me, at this 
 time, when there is so much to be said, and so many to say it. 
 I thank you sincerely for the honor of an invitation to be with 
 you to-day. I am glad to meet the citizens of Dublin, and the 
 returned wanderers from the old paternal roofs, on an occasion 
 of so much interest to them. I thank you for the compliment, 
 personal to myself, to which I have attempted to respond. 
 
100 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 If the "random shots" which I have "let off," and the reminis- 
 cences which the occasion has called up to my own mind, shall 
 have recalled any pleasant memories of scenes lang syne, in 
 which those most dear to me took part, and who now "sleep 
 in the valley," away from their native hills, they will have 
 more than answered my hopes. 
 
 In conclusion, let me pay a compliment to your town for the 
 high stand she has taken in everything that exalts a town or a 
 nation. Her devotion to religion, to morality, and to education, 
 has given her a name to be honored; while religion, morality, 
 and education are anything but a name.

CHAPTER III 
 
 Natural History — Situation, Boundaries, Soil, 
 Climate, Flora, Fauna, Etc. 
 
 1 HE town of Dublin, in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, 
 is situated in latitude 42° 54' north, and longitude 72° 03' west, 
 from London. The spire of the First Congregational (Unita- 
 rian) meetinghouse is in latitude 42° 54' 20.8" north, and longi- 
 tude 72° 3' 38.6" west, from Greenwich.^ 
 
 Dublin was formerly bounded on the north by Hancock and 
 Nelson, on the south by Jaffrey and Marlborough, on the west 
 by Marlborough and Roxbury, and on the east by Peter- 
 borough and Hancock. The formation of the town of Harris- 
 ville, which was incorporated, July 2, 1870, took from the origi- 
 nal town of Dublin the northern three ranges of lots. Each 
 range contains twenty-two lots. Sixty-six lots were therefore 
 transferred from Dublin to the new town of Harrisville. Dub- 
 lin is now bounded north by Harrisville, east by Peterborough, 
 south by Jaffrey and Marlborough, and west by Marlborough. 
 It is forty-four miles from Concord, the capital of the state; 
 about thirteen miles, in a south-easterly direction, from Keene, 
 the shiretown of the county; and seventy miles from Boston. 
 
 Dublin has the same diversity of hill and valley that is found 
 in the other towns in this section of the state. It is distinguished, 
 however, by having, in its south-westerly border, a large part of 
 the Grand Monadnock ^ Mountain. The boundary line be- 
 
 1 Hitchcock's Geology of New Hampshire: Vol. I., p. 242. 
 
 2 Monadnock, according to S. G. Drake, signifies "Mountain of the Great Spirit." 
 According to William B. Cabot, who has devoted considerable attention to the Al- 
 gonquin dialects, the etymology of the word Monadnock would imply an isolated hill of 
 prominence, that is, a hill standing apart from other hills of equal prominence, giving 
 it, as the landscape is viewed from its summit, the appearance of an isloated mountain 
 of imposing size. 
 
 In the New York Sun of Nov. 9, 1904, is a review of an article by William Wallace 
 Tooker, in the Journal of American Folk-Lore, entitled "Algonquin Names of Some 
 Mountains and Hills." The following is what he says of Monadnock: "Man, or mon, 
 is a significant prefix to many word combinations in the Massachusetts of John Eliot, 
 meaning 'wonderful,' 'wonder,' 'vision,' 'revelation,' 'marvellous,' etc. It is from the 
 primary verbal root -an, 'surpassing,' 'going beyond,' 'is more than common,' with 
 the indefinite impersonal prefix m added, which, with its generic -adn, 'mountain,' and 
 the locative -ock, 'place,' gives us a synthesis of man-adn-ock, 'land (or country) of 
 the surpassing mountain,' i. e., one going beyond all others in that vicinity for size." 
 Again he says: "It will be observed that it included the mountain and the immediate

 tween Dublin and Jaffrey crosses the mountain, passing near 
 its summit.^ The highest point of jNIonadnock, according to Dr. 
 Dana, who ascertained the height by a barometer, in the year 
 1816, is 3,450 feet above the level of the ocean. The latest esti- 
 mates fix the elevation at 3,166 to 3,186 feet above the sea. Its 
 elevation above the surrounding country renders it, from a 
 great distance, a conspicuous object. Its summit is visible 
 from the top of the state-house in Boston; and it is said to be a 
 landmark for sailors on approaching certain parts of the sea- 
 coast. Its highest point above the level of a pond in the centre 
 of the town, formerly called Centre Pond, but now generally 
 known as Monadnock Lake,^ is 1,581 feet. From the summit 
 there is an unobstructed view in all directions and a magnificent 
 panorama is exhibited to the eye of the observer. More than 
 forty lakes and ponds of various sizes, scores of villages, and 
 innumerable mountains and hills are plainly visible, while 
 powerful glasses bring many more objects into the field of vision, 
 which extends to the seacoast near Boston. 
 
 The highest elevation of land next to that of IMonadnock is 
 Beech Mountain, situated north of the centre of the town. It 
 is 391 feet above the level of Monadnock Lake. These heights 
 (of Beech Mountain and Monadnock above the level of the 
 lake) were ascertained by measuring a line on the frozen lake 
 for a base, taking the angle at each end, and making the usual 
 calculations by trigonometry. From the top of Beech Mountain, 
 — so called from the large number of beech-trees with which it 
 was formerly covered, — a beautiful view may be obtained, 
 both of the Contoocook and Connecticut river-valleys, and 
 especially of the Green Mountains in Vermont, as they rise 
 in the form of successive terraces from the Connecticut River. 
 From the same place, the Kearsarge and Ascutney Mountains 
 may be seen; also the Saddleback and other mountains beyond 
 the Merrimack River; and, when the atmosyjliere is favorable, 
 the summit of one of the White jNIountains is visible, looking 
 like a thin, white, stationary cloud, a little above the horizon. 
 
 country round about it." This harmonizes well with Mr. Cabot's etymology of the 
 word, which was substantially the same thing in other words. The preceding defini- 
 tion might be condensed into the words, — place of the grand mountain. 
 
 1 The summit is in Jaffrey. 
 
 2 The first proposition to change the name of Centre Pond to Monadnock Lake 
 is said to have been made by Miss Laura Ann Fiske, afterwards Mrs. Mark True, 
 at a meeting of the former Dublin Literary Society, about 1840. This lady read 
 several papers on that subject before the society, which, by vote, approved the 
 suggestion. From that time the new name was used gradually and eventually sup- 
 planted the old one. 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 103 
 
 Hardy Hill, in the west part of the town, near the summit of 
 which several generations of Hardys lived, and more recently 
 the Spauldings, is another eminence from which an observer 
 has an unobstructed view, for a long range, in all directions. 
 Many prominent peaks of the Green Mountains, some of the 
 more prominent in Massachusetts, and others in south-western 
 New Hampshire, are distinctly seen, with some ponds and a few 
 villages. 
 
 The ponds in Dublin, besides Monadnock Lake, are Farnum 
 (or Dark) Pond and Wight Pond, to which we may add the 
 Howe, Knight, and Electric Company Reservoirs. The North, 
 Beaver, Dinsmore, and Stanford Ponds, with the southern 
 point of the Harrisville Pond, and the Chesham and Russell 
 Reservoirs, all of which were formerly in Dublin, are now 
 within the limits of the town of Harrisville. 
 
 Monadnock Lake is a beautiful sheet of water, which has 
 lured many families of wealth and refinement to establish 
 summer homes near it, or in sight of it. It is surrounded by 
 picturesque hills wooded to their summits and, from its surface, 
 may be seen the summit and north-west sides of Monadnock 
 Mountain, which, at the right hour of the right kind of a day, 
 is clearly reflected by the glassy water like a huge inverted 
 pyramid. By far the largest portion of the water in this lake 
 is supplied by springs, which have their outlets beneath its 
 surface. The bottom of the lake is mostly a pure whitish sand. 
 The contour of the lake bed resembles somewhat a human ear, 
 there being a small oval area, not far from one side of the lake, 
 where the water is much deeper than it is elsewhere. Mr. 
 Samuel Wadsworth of Keene, who made a careful survey of 
 the lake, found that the greatest depth was 117 feet. The deep 
 places are generally not more than sixty feet, but the depths 
 vary greatly. The water is beautifully clear and always cool. 
 In some seasons the ice has been found to be two feet in thick- 
 ness, and, when preserved for use in summer, it is found to be 
 of the very best quality. 
 
 Monadnock Lake, in addition to its scenic charms, has been 
 justly celebrated for a variety of trout which Agassiz declared 
 to be unique. As to flavor and other qualities, they have been 
 pronounced, by persons whose good taste in such matters was 
 unquestionable, inferior to none which can be found in any 
 waters. Formerly, they could be caught at any time, but, at 
 a later date, they became scarce. They are now protected by 
 law, except for a few weeks each year, and the supply may be- 
 come more abundant. 
 
104 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 In the Memoirs of the Boston Society of Natural History, 
 Vol. 8, No. 1, is a monograph on "The Fishes of New England. 
 The Salmon Family. Part 1. The Trout or Charrs." It was 
 written by William Converse Kendall, Scientific Assistant of 
 the United States Bureau of Fisheries. He quotes a letter from 
 Prof. Louis Agassiz, written in acknowledgment of some speci- 
 mens of these trout that had been sent to him, which we here 
 reproduce : 
 
 "Dear Sir: I duly received the two specimens of trout which you 
 have forwarded to nie. They reached Cambridge in a perfect state of 
 preservation, and I was not a little surprised on examining them to 
 find that they belonged to an undescribed species. I have carefully 
 compared them to-day with all the trout occurring in the United 
 States which I have thus far been able to secure, from Lake Superior 
 to Labrador and as far south as they reach, and I find them to differ 
 specifically from all. As the specimens are all three females, I should 
 be much obliged if you would secure some males for me. 
 
 " Should so-called lake herring, or whitefish, as they are also called, 
 be found in your waters, which I suppose to be the case, I would be 
 much obliged if you could secure some of them for me. 
 
 "Allow me to close by returning my best thanks for the specimens 
 you have sent me, which I have at once put up in my museum. 
 
 "L. Agassiz. 
 "Cambridge. Mass., Oct. 12" [Year not stated]. 
 
 Mr. Kendall, quoting from the Boston Journal of March 22, 
 1884, adds that "after some male specimens were sent, as Pro- 
 fessor Agassiz requested, he wrote that the examination of them 
 only confirmed his previous opinion that the trout were spe- 
 cifically distinct, adding that there must be others like them 
 found elsewhere, as nature did not make a distinct species for 
 one little locality. This last letter cannot now be found." 
 
 Mr. Kendall has himself carefully described these trout, 
 which Mr. Samuel Garman, of the Harvard Museum of Com- 
 parative Zoology, in 1885, concurring with Agassiz regarding 
 the fish, and describing it as new to science, named the Scdmo 
 agassizii. It has been popularly called the "silver trout." Mr. 
 Kendall, in his monograph, has called it the Salvelinus agassizii. 
 He has given an elaborate description of the fish, which, being 
 peculiar to this Dublin lake, partly in deference to a just local 
 pride, but more particularly in the interest of science, we give 
 below in full: 
 
 "During the last part of October, 1912, the present writer [Mr. W. 
 C. Kendall] made a visit to Monadnock Lake. Mr. James DeRocher, 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 105 
 
 of the Nashua Fisheries Station, was detailed to assist in the effort to 
 secure specimens of the trout, and Mr. Walter H. Rich accompanied 
 the party in order to make a colored drawing of the fish from life 
 should any be secured. Expectations were not very high, however, 
 owing to the lateness of the season, the stated spawning time being 
 about October 20. 
 
 " Mr. DeRocher was supplied with two gill-nets, each 100 feet long, 
 of different-sized mesh, the larger perhaps two inches and the smaller 
 of one inch, stretched. On the night of the 29th, these nets were set 
 on 'the reef,' said to be the spawning grounds of the fish, and in about 
 two to four feet of water. Previous to setting the net some small fish 
 were observed close to shore, which, from their shape, were thought 
 to be trout. In the small-meshed net ten small trout were caught, one 
 and two at a time, at intervals, and in the large-meshed net, which 
 permitted the small fish to pass through, one large trout was taken. 
 These were kept in an extemporized live car until the next morning, 
 when Mr. Rich made color sketches of the large specimens and two of 
 the smaller ones. During the fishing the party was favored by some 
 visitors, one of whom was Mrs. Grenville Clark, formerly Miss Dwight. 
 . . . The present writer is also indebted to Mrs. Clark for much in- 
 teresting and valuable information concerning the trout. Mr. Milton 
 D. Mason of Dublin, who from boyhood has had an intimate ac- 
 quaintance with the trout and its habits, and possesses a traditional 
 knowledge of the lake and its early conditions, furnished much 
 valuable information. 
 
 "The descriptions immediately following are from specimens se- 
 cured at the time of this visit to Monadnock Lake. 
 
 "Descriptions of Recent Specimens of Salvelinus agassizii. 
 [The detailed measurements in millimetres of the various parts of 
 the fishes are here omitted.] 
 
 ''Male. — Description from a specimen 16.5 inches long, taken on 
 the night of October 29, 1912. Dark grayish green on upper part of 
 back, becoming lighter and yellowish toward the lateral line; below 
 decidedly yellow, paling into pearl gray, and suffused with light Saturn 
 red, deepening toward the abdomen, where, from the ventral fins 
 forward, the color stops abruptly against the clear white of the abdo- 
 men and throat; light red appearing more or less along the lower edge 
 of the body behind the ventrals, excepting on a sharply defined clear 
 white patch in front of and at the base of the anal fin. Dull orange- 
 yellow spots scattered over middle of body and five ocelli of pale lilac 
 with crimson centres. Head, color of body on top, fading to the lighter 
 greens and numerous metallic colors of rose, pearl, yellow, purple, 
 and reddish; lower jaw whitish, mottled with dusky, the tip slightly 
 tinged with flesh color or dull orange. Iris, straw yellow; dorsal, dull 
 yellow, crossed by several irregular dusky bars, the dark color mainly 
 between the rays; a small dusky spot on body at the base of each 
 
106 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 ray; adipose dull purplish, somewhat lighter on upper edge, with a 
 narrow sub-marginal dusky line; pectoral, ventral, and anal fins pale 
 purplish pink, deepening basally, anterior edges white with black 
 line behind, the pectorals growing somewhat dusky basally; caudal, 
 dull purplish pink becoming somewhat orange centrally and dusky 
 basally, with purplish black band at tip and several incomplete and 
 somewhat indistinct dusky bars across it; the upper edge dull orange 
 yellow, the lower white, and both with irregular narrow line of dusky 
 behind the light color. 
 
 "Female. — Description from a specimen l-f^ inches long, taken on 
 the night of October 29, 1912. The colors are generally olive green 
 above shading into the silvery opalescent of the side and white of the 
 belly; the dorsal is somewhat barred, but the caudal shows scarcely 
 any bars, but merely dark marginal shades. The spots of the side are 
 fewer than in the large specimen, usually wholly absent or only one 
 or two present. 
 
 " In a letter to Dr. B. W. Evermann, of the Bureau of Fisheries, Mr. 
 W. O. Robinson wrote, that, for a period of about ten days in the 
 spring, generally commencing with the tenth of May, the trout leave 
 the deep water and come to the surface, rising freely in the morning 
 till nine o'clock and again from five o'clock till dark. In the fall of 
 1912, and in a letter to the present writer, Mr. Milton D. Mason of 
 Dublin, N. H., of many years' familiarity with the trout, said that 
 they evidently frequented deep water most of the time, except in the 
 month of May, when they rise to the surface for the little black fly. 
 At this time, early in the morning, and toward night, they are jump- 
 ing all the time. But, after warm weather comes on, and the black 
 flies depart, the fish retire to deep water. 
 
 "Bigelow stated that the breeding time, which lasted about two or 
 three weeks, began about the first of October, when the fish congre- 
 gated on shoals, formerly on the south, but, at the time of his visit, 
 on the south-west shore, where they spawned at night. Having reached 
 the beds, he said, they lose their natural shyness and seem wholly 
 absorbed in the object of their visit. If frightened, they did not go 
 far away and soon returned. The males followed the females very 
 closely, in about the proportion of one male to four females. 
 
 "Mr. Robinson's letter to Dr. Evermann stated that the stomachs 
 contained two kinds of food; one was a shrimp about one inch long, 
 and the other apparently a dark greenish-brown vegetable material. 
 He said, however, that in the spring they appeared to be feeding 
 upon larval mosquitoes or some other dipterous insect. Mr. Mason 
 stated that they were feeding upon "the small black flies." 
 
 " Mr. Mason said that some eighty years ago persons living near the 
 lake used to send their boys out to catch a pailful for their hogs, 
 which could be done in a very short time. ^Yithin thirty years, there 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 107 
 
 were large numbers caught through the ice, but this was prohibited 
 later on. It is said that up to perhaps thirty years ago cartloads were 
 seen on the spawning beds, where trout were taken in large numbers 
 and of good size; in recent years, however, they had decreased greatly 
 in numbers and former state commissioners had advanced the 
 opinion that the small perch which abounded there were destroying 
 the trout. 
 
 "Bigelow stated that they varied in size from one quarter of a pound 
 to five pounds, but those taken were seldom less than one quarter or 
 over three pounds. . . . Mr. Mason says that the size at present is 
 much smaller than it was years ago, and it is seldom that one is caught 
 weighing over one and one half pounds." 
 
 The Thorndike or Bullard Pond is mostly in Jaffrey, but the 
 northern end extends a few rods into Dublin. This is also an 
 attractive body of water, and, like its more famous neighbor 
 (Monadnock Lake), is yearly drawing near its shores those who 
 are building handsome summer residences. 
 
 The eastern end of Stone Pond, a handsome sheet of water, 
 is also in Dublin, although the greater portion of the pond is in 
 Marlborough. Its shores have been made beautiful by the 
 handsome buildings and grounds of Mr. Edward H. Kidder; 
 which he sold to another person, while these lines were being 
 written. 
 
 There are no streams in Dublin of considerable size. Stanley 
 Brook is the outlet of Thorndike Pond. It flows north-easterly 
 through the south-eastern part of the town, forming, in its 
 course, the KJnight and Electric Company Reservoirs. Near 
 the present residence (1913) of Arthur T. Appleton, it receives 
 the waters of the Wilder Brook, which is formed by the union 
 of Cobb Meadow Brook with smaller streams. At the Knight 
 Reservoir, it also receives the waters of Frost Brook, the out- 
 let of a small pond of that name whose northern edge is in 
 Dublin. Between Thorndike Pond and the Knight Reservoir, 
 it also receives the waters of Mills Brook, which is formed by 
 the junction of Woods Brook and Hinds Brook. The small 
 stream flowing easterly through Dublin village, known as 
 Greenwood Brook, likewise empties into the Stanley Brook. 
 The latter stream, in Peterborough, empties into the Nubanu- 
 sit (or Goose) Brook, which forms the outlet of the long pond 
 below Harrisville, which was known, before the division of the 
 township, as North Pond. This body of water was once known 
 as Skatutahkee Pond, a name borne by a near-by prominent 
 mountain in Hancock, also by a brook flowing from the slopes 
 
108 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 of the same moimtain into the Nubaniisit Brook. Monadnock 
 Brook, the outlet of the lake of the same name, receives, as it 
 flows north-westerly, the waters of Moimtain Brook, Hurricane 
 Brook, and Wight Pond Brook. It forms, along its course, the 
 Howe and Russell Reservoirs, and forms a junction, a little 
 north of P. W. Russell's mill, with the Breed Pond Brook, and, 
 flowing through Marlborough, empties into Otter River near 
 South Keene. 
 
 The streams in town that rise east of the elevated land which 
 divides the town into two parts run into the Contoocook River, 
 and thence into the Merrimack, above the city of Concord; 
 and those that rise on the west side run into the Ashuelot, and 
 thence into the Connecticut. The second meetinghouse in 
 Dublin, which stood upon the dividing ridge, on or near the site 
 of the summer residence of Mrs. Farnham, was so situated 
 that the water which flowed from the eastern slope of the roof 
 ran into the Contoocook River, and that which flowed from 
 the western slope of the roof ran into the Ashuelot River. 
 
 The most valuable fish in town are the unique trout of the 
 Monadnock Lake. Trout are found in the brooks of Dublin, 
 and they may be taken at any season suitable for fishing. They 
 are so small, however, that a few score of them are required 
 for a meal for a family of the average size. The long pond be- 
 low Harrisville yields good pickerel, but no trout. Pickerel and 
 trout, it is said, are not found in the same pond. The former, 
 with their capacious mouths and numerous sharp teeth, are 
 able to destroy the trout. Horned pouts are found in some of 
 the reservoirs. In the small ponds eels are found and, occasion- 
 ally, perch and minnows. In the spring, suckers are also some- 
 times caught by spearing. 
 
 Originally, the wild animals were the same as in the other 
 settlements of this vicinity, — bears, wolves, deer, moose, cata- 
 mounts, foxes, raccoons, woodchucks, hedgehogs, squirrels 
 (gray, flying, red, and striped), rabbits, beavers, otters, minks, 
 muskrats, and perhaps some others. Bears and wolves were 
 exterminated as an act of necessity. Beavers and otters, be- 
 cause of their valuable furs have been hunted to the point of 
 extermination in this part of the country. The delectable flesh 
 of the moose and deer, in addition to the insatiable desire to 
 hunt big game, put the lives of these beautiful animals in 
 jeopardy, until they disappeared altogether from this part of 
 the state. As a result of protective laws, however, and the 
 diminution of the rural population, as well as the abandon- 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 109 
 
 ment of a great number of old farms, deer again became quite 
 plentiful in the early part of the twentieth century; but the 
 passion for hunting those animals is so intense in boys and 
 sportsmen that, if the deer are not again protected by law from 
 their destructive work, they will soon disappear from this part 
 of the country. 
 
 Wild turkeys, in the early times of the settlement, were fre- 
 quently taken. Timothy Adams, 2d, who first settled lot 12, 
 range 9, found, on one occasion, a nest containing fourteen 
 eggs, on which a turkey was sitting. He took the eggs, and put 
 them under a hen; after a few days, each egg produced a young 
 turkey, and the whole brood were raised and sent to Boston for 
 a market. That valuable bird, in its wild state, has probably 
 disappeared altogether, at least from the eastern portions of the 
 United States. The domesticated turkey, derived from it, is a 
 difficult fowl to raise successfully. 
 
 In the summer of 1909, Mr. Gerald H. Thayer, an esteemed 
 resident of Dublin, a man remarkably well informed in bird 
 lore, prepared for "The Dublin News," a summer periodical, 
 published for two seasons by the brothers, Gerard and George 
 Henderson, a list of Dublin birds, with brief notes. It is a 
 unique work, and of such an inestimable value to scientists 
 that we asked his permission to reproduce it in this chapter, 
 that it might be thus preserved for all time. He very kindly gave 
 his consent, and the list follows, with the major part of his 
 observations upon the same, which were of nearly as much 
 value as the list itself: 
 
 [Unless otherwise noted, the birds mentioned nest here.] 
 
 1. Bluebird. Fairly common, but varies much from year to 
 year. In the year 1909, there was a dearth of bluebirds. End of Feb- 
 ruary to end of November. 
 
 2. American Robin. Abundant, as everybody knows. End of 
 February to December. One or two sometimes linger through De- 
 cember, in sheltered nooks. 
 
 3. Hermit Thrush. Very common. Early April to November. 
 The Hermit's second song season begins late in July, and lasts till 
 about the middle of August. 
 
 4. Olive-backed Thrush. Fairly common in summer in the 
 higher spruce woods of Monadnock. Rare and local at the Dublin 
 level, except in migration, when it is common everywhere. The Olive- 
 back's charming song, to be heard any afternoon along the Monad- 
 nock ridge, is somewhat like the Veery's song inverted, but tenderer. 
 Early May to mid-October. 
 
 5. Gray-cheeked Thrush. Uncommon migrant, in the latter 
 
110 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 half of May, late September, and early October. Does not nest here. 
 Bicknell's Thrush, a smaller sub-species of the Gray-cheek, which has 
 been found breeding on Mt. Greylock, undoubtedly occurs here, in 
 migration, but we have never surely identified one. 
 
 6. Wilson's Thrush, Veery. Common. Early May to Septem- 
 ber. A bird of leaf-trees and the lowlands rather than of the evergreen 
 forests. 
 
 7. Wood Thrush. Fairly common nowadays. This bird has 
 been extending its range northward, and up mountain slopes. Rare 
 here fifteen years ago, it has been gradually growing common. Partial 
 to deep groves of leaf-trees, especially maples. Early May to Sep- 
 tember. 
 
 8. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Common in migration, from the 
 middle of April to early May, and from early October to early No- 
 vember. Does not nest here. 
 
 9. Golden-crowned Kinglet. Common in migration, and fairly 
 common in summer, in the spruce woods of Monadnock and the neigh- 
 boring hills. Always here, except sometimes in mid-winter. 
 
 10. Hudson's Bay Chick.\dee. Very rare. We have seen it twice 
 in the late autumn, in spruce woods at Monadnock's northern base. 
 Does not nest here. 
 
 11. Chickadee. Very common all the year. 
 
 12. Red-bellied Nuthatch. Rare in winter, more or less com- 
 mon in summer, and often very abundant in the autumn migration. 
 September to December. 
 
 13. White-breasted Nuthatch. Not common. Here all the 
 year. This is a bird of leaf-trees, particularly large ones, about home- 
 steads and villages, whereas the little Red-belly is a bird of the ever- 
 green forests. 
 
 14. Brown Creeper. Rare in summer. Sometimes breeds on the 
 northern slope of Monadnock. Common in migration, particularly 
 in late September and October. Rare or absent in mid-winter. 
 
 15. Short-billed Marsh Wren. Very rare. I [Mr. Thayer] 
 found one nesting pair for two successive summers in the marshes 
 bordering the "Peterborough Stream" (or Dublin Lightworks 
 water). Somewhere in these marshes, the birds could probably be 
 found any summer. 
 
 16. Winter Wren. Fairly common in summer on Monadnock, 
 and wherever there is any heavy old growth among the neighboring 
 hills. Its magically brilliant and dainty song may often be heard 
 along the Monadnock ridge, from April to August. More common in 
 the autumn, rare or absent in mid-winter. 
 
 17. House Wren. Rather rare, irregular, and late to arrive in 
 the spring. Dublin is a little high and cold for house wrens. 
 
 18. Brown Thrasher (erroneously called Brown Thrush). The 
 bird is kindred to the wrens rather than the thrushes. Fairly com- 
 mon, from early May to October. 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 111 
 
 19. Catbird. Common, early May to late September. 
 
 20. American Pipit. Passes through in the spring and fall. Some- 
 times fairly common in October; usually rather rare. Have seen two 
 or three small flocks on the very top of Monadnock. Does not nest 
 here. 
 
 21. American Redstart. Very common, late April to mid- 
 September. 
 
 22. Canada Warbler. Common. Nests in damp woods with a 
 great deal of undergrowth. Middle or late May to September. 
 
 23. Wilson's Warbler. Fairly common in the spring migration, 
 during the second half of May. Apparently less common in the fall. 
 Does not nest here. 
 
 24. (Northern) Maryland Yellow-throat. Common every- 
 where, even high on Monadnock. Early May to mid-October. 
 
 25. Mourning Warbler. Rare. A few seen in the spring, and 
 only one in the fall. Late May to September. Does not nest here. 
 
 26. Connecticut Warbler. Middle of September to early Oc- 
 tober. Usually rare, sometimes fairly common. Probably no spring 
 record. Does not nest here. 
 
 27. Louisiana Water-Thrush. ("Thrush" is an old name and 
 erroneous. These birds are really Warblers, like the Ovenbird.) As 
 reported in "The Auk" for July, 1902, I [Mr. Thayer] saw one of 
 these birds here on August 19, 1901. To make this record pass 
 muster among bird-men, I should have shot the bird. This I tried, 
 but failed to do. A straggler from the South, breeding as far north as 
 southern Berkshire Co., Mass. Does not nest here. 
 
 28. Northern Water-Thrush. Rather rare, in summer, nesting 
 in several woodland bogs. Common in migration, almost throughout 
 May, and from mid-August to October. 
 
 29. Ovenbird. Abundant. Almost the dominant bird in sum- 
 mer, and the chief night-singer. Its vigorous flight-song, given in the 
 air above the tree-tops, is a common and familiar night sound through- 
 out the first half of the summer. Early May to mid-September. 
 
 30. Prairie Warbler. A southern bird. One of the few Dublin 
 (or even New Hampshire) records for this species is believed to be 
 that of a male which was shot in 1909, in early May. Fairly com- 
 mon no farther away than Cambridge, Mass. Does not probably 
 nest here. 
 
 31. Yellow Red-poll Warbler (or Yellow Palm Warbler) . Com- 
 mon migrant, most common in the fall. Latter half of April and early 
 May; late September to early October. The true Palm Warbler (a 
 subspecies, smaller, and duller in color) has not yet been surely 
 identified here. Does not nest here. 
 
 32. Pine Warbler. One or two singing males appear in Dublin 
 about mid-summer, almost every year. Occasional in migration also. 
 Nests in the white-pine groves of Keene, and perhaps even nearer 
 Dublin; not certainly in Dublin. 
 
112 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 33. Black-throated Green Warbler. Very common, high and 
 low, although partial to evergreens. Late April to mid-October. 
 
 34. Blackburnian Warbler. Very common. A bird of the 
 deep woods, partial to evergreens, and preferring big trees. Early 
 May to late September. 
 
 35. Blackpoll Warbler. Fairly common, sometimes abundant 
 in migration. Early mid-May to second week in June; early Septem- 
 ber to October. Most common in autumn, in immature plumage. 
 Does not nest here. 
 
 36. Bay-breasted Warbler. Migrant; sometimes common in 
 spring, about the middle of May. September. Does not nest here. 
 
 37. Chestnut-sided Warbler. Very common. A bird of the 
 roadsides, scrub-lots, and lighter mixed woods. Early May to Sep- 
 tember. 
 
 38. Black-and- Yellow (or Magnolia) Warbler. Common. 
 Preeminently a bird of the spruces. Spruce copses bordering pasture- 
 lands are its especial choice. Early mid-May to late September. 
 
 39. Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle Warbler). Common, 
 and in migration abundant. A characteristic summer bird of the high 
 Monadnock ridge, though it also nests at the Dublin level. Mid-April 
 to November. Most abundant in October. 
 
 40. Black-throated Blue Warbler. Common. A bird of the 
 undergrowth in heavy woods. Early May to October. 
 
 41. Yellow Warbler. Rather rare in Dublin, though common in 
 neighboring lowland towns. Not known to nest nearer than Marl- 
 borough. Early May to late September. 
 
 42. Cape May Warbler. Very rare migrant; in late May and 
 September. Does not nest here. 
 
 43. Northern Parula Warbler, or Usnea Warbler. Locally 
 common in summer; very common in migration. It is believed that 
 this bird is likely to be found where the usnea, or gray beard-moss of 
 the North, is found. Such a nest was found in the Frost swamp 
 a few years ago, which contained no other material, except for a 
 scanty lining of wild cherry stems. All, or nearly all, the nests that 
 have been found have been built in and almost wholly of this moss. 
 Late April to September. 
 
 44. Tennessee Warbler. Very rare migrant in late May. Does 
 not nest here. 
 
 45. Nashville Warbler. A common and characteristic sum- 
 mer bird. In June it is hard to get out of earshot of its sprightly song. 
 Partial to gray-birch copses and overgrown pastures. Early May to 
 late September. 
 
 46. Golden-winged Warbler. Years ago, one of these birds 
 was seen on the Jaffrey road. Locally common 80 miles from here 
 (Cambridge, Mass., etc.). Does not probably nest here. 
 
 46. (Numbered as in the list copied. The bird numbered 46 above 
 is so scarce here that Mr. Thayer evidently did not wish that it should 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 113 
 
 be reckoned as a Dublin bird, in any official list.) Black-and-White 
 Warbler; or Black-and-White Creeper. Common. Late April to 
 September. 
 
 47. Solitary Vireo or Blue-headed Vireo. Common from 
 April to October. Partial to heavy growth containing evergreens. 
 
 48. Warbling Vireo. Rare. A pair or two nest in the lower 
 village. Partial to elms and maples in towns. Common in Keene. 
 
 49. Philadelphia Vireo. Migrant, and not very rare in the fall, 
 from late September to early October. A spring record had been 
 secured from Fitzwilliam but none from Dublin. Does not nest here. 
 
 50. Red-eyed Vireo. Very common. The ceaseless voice of 
 summer, — persistent through the dog-days, when most birds are 
 still. 
 
 51. Migrant Shrike (the name now given to the north-eastern 
 race of the Loggerhead Shrike). A few years ago, in autumn, 
 one was seen near the Hitchcock house (west of the lake). Does 
 not nest here. 
 
 52. Northern Shrike. Uncommon, in late fall and early spring. 
 Apparently rare or absent in mid-winter. Does not nest here. 
 
 53. Cedar Bird or Cedar Waxwing. In summer always very 
 common, from May to October. At other seasons irregular, and often 
 absent. 
 
 54. Bank Swallow. Not common. There was once a colony near 
 what is now Mrs. Amory's farmhouse. At present, probably there 
 are none nearer than Marlborough, but the birds still appear in Dub- 
 lin, but do not probably nest here. 
 
 55. White-bellied Swallow or Tree Swallow. Fairly com- 
 mon, nesting both in bird-houses and tree-holes. Late March to Aug- 
 ust. Breeds early, and then makes for the sea-coast marshes. 
 
 56. Barn Swallow. Common, late April to September. 
 
 57. Cliff Swallow or Eave Swallow. Fairly common. Two 
 or three colonies have been noted on barns in Dublin. [We may add 
 that fifty years ago they were very abundant everywhere in this 
 part of the country. Under the eaves of many barns might be seen 
 two or more rows of their nests, extending the whole length of the barn, 
 joining each other in a compact mass. They returned, year after year, 
 to the same nests, and kept the premises in an untidy condition and 
 were quite troublesome. — J. L. S.] 
 
 58. Purple Martin. The nearest tenanted Martin-houses that 
 are known are in Hancock and Marlborough. The birds appear in 
 Dublin now and then, but cannot be induced to take a house here, 
 and do not probably nest here. 
 
 59. Scarlet Tanager. Common from early May to September. 
 
 60. Indigo Bird. Fairly common in the lower, alluvial parts of 
 the township. Late May to September. 
 
 61. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Common from early May to Sep- 
 tember. A gTeat destroyer of potato bugs. 
 
114 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 62. TowHEE or Chewink. Common, early May to October. 
 
 63. Fox Sparrow. Fairly common. Late or mid-March to late 
 April, and late October to mid-Xovember. Does not nest here. 
 
 64. Swamp Sparrow. Common in all our large, swampy meadows, 
 and in migration outside them also. April to November. 
 
 65. Lincoln's Sparrow. Fairly common, in late May and late 
 September. A pair were found evidently breeding at Nubanusit 
 Lake. 
 
 66. Song Sparrow. Abundant, from middle of March to No- 
 vember. 
 
 67. Snowbird or Junco. Very common, and, in migration, abun- 
 dant. Breeds on Monadnock, and scarcely less commonly at the 
 Dublin level. 
 
 67 a. Western Junco (Junco Hyemalis or Junco Oregonus or 
 some intermediate species). Mr. Thayer observes that the names and 
 relationships are still in dispute among bird-men. He adds: "Al- 
 though Mr. Wm. Brewster could see no proof that the mutilated 
 fragment of a specimen I sent him had not belonged to a common 
 Junco, I have lived among Juncos too long to be easily persuaded that 
 this bird, which I hunted all one autumn morning for its wholly new 
 and peculiar notes, and finally shot to pieces, was not a straggler from 
 the West. There are other such records in Massachusetts." 
 
 68. Field Sparrow. Common. April to late September. 
 
 69. Chipbird or Chippy [sometimes called the Hairbird. — J. L. S.]. 
 This Chipping Sparrow is abundant from late April to mid-October. 
 
 70. Tree Sparrow or Winter Chippy. Fairly common. October 
 to December, and early March to late September. Does not nest 
 here. 
 
 71. White-throated Sparrow, Peabody Bird. In summer local 
 and not common, in migration abundant. April to November; early 
 May and October. One or two occasionally linger through December. 
 
 72. White-crowned Sparrow. Late May and October. Some- 
 times common in spring. Does not nest here. 
 
 73. Henslow's Sparrow. Fairly common in the big Hancock 
 meadow. Within the Dublin township limits, it has been found 
 only once or twice. Late May to September.'' 
 
 74. Savanna Sparrow. In summer; uncommon; breeding in up- 
 land pastures and big alluvial meadows. April to October. More 
 abundant in migration. 
 
 75. Vesper Sparrow, or Bay- winged Bunting. Fairly common, 
 April to October. 
 
 76. Snow Bunting or Snowflake. Fairly common, but very 
 irregular. October to April. Likely to appear first on jNIonadnock. 
 Does not nest here. 
 
 77. Pine Siskin. Common, sometimes abundant; very irregular. 
 May breed here, as it has been seen in almost every month of the 
 year, most commonly in the late fall. 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 115 
 
 78. American Goldfinch. Common, usually absent in mid- 
 winter, 
 
 79. Redpoll (Linnet). Very irregular, sometimes common. Oc- 
 tober to x\pril. Does not breed here. 
 
 80. White- WINGED Crossbill. Often common; very irregular. 
 Almost certainly nests sometimes in the Monadnock spruce woods. 
 It has been seen at all times of the year. Most common in the late 
 fall. 
 
 81. x\merican Crossbill. Common, but irregular. Doubtless some- 
 times nests here. 
 
 82. English Sparrow. This powerful little vulgarian is well estab- 
 lished in Dublin village, but does not wander abroad much. 
 
 83. Purple Finch. Very common. March to May. Occasional 
 in winter. 
 
 84. Pine Grosbeak. Sometimes abundant, sometimes wholly 
 absent. October to April. Does not nest here. 
 
 85. Evening Grosbeak. Mr. Thayer observes: "In the early 
 winter of 1906, a flock of six stayed for two weeks or more about the 
 house of Mr. Fred. C. Gowing. One, a fine male, the only one of the 
 six that could then be found, I shot, on December 7, with the kind per- 
 mission and help of the Gowings. This bird is now in our collection. 
 As far as I can find out, this is the first sure record of the Evening 
 Grosbeak's appearance in New England since the great invasion of 
 1890." 
 
 86. Bronzed Grackle or Crow Blackbird. Rare and irregular 
 in Dublin. Does not breed here. Breeds (or did breed a few years 
 ago) in Keene. 
 
 87. Rusty Blackbird. Uncommon. In April and late September 
 and October. Does not nest here. 
 
 88. Baltimore Oriole. Rather rare at the Dublin altitude; 
 common in Keene. May to September. 
 
 89. Meadowlark. Mr. Thayer has only once or twice seen a 
 meadowlark in Dublin. Fairly common in the Keene valley, where 
 it nests. Does not nest here. 
 
 90. Red-winged Blackbird. Common, in the few suitable 
 marshes. March to August. 
 
 91. Cowbird. Mr. Thayer observes: "This rascal is very rare in 
 Dublin. We have seen it only once or twice, in early spring. Not 
 rare in Keene, where it breeds. Does not nest here." 
 
 92. Bobolink. Fairly common in the larger mowings. Some 
 years rare or absent. 
 
 93. American Crow. Common, late February to December. 
 Winters as near as Keene. 
 
 93 a. Northern Raven. Mr. Thayer observes: "On July 4, 
 1903, a Raven flew over my camp on the Monadnock ridge. Later 
 I learned to my dismay that one had escaped a few weeks before from 
 the aviary of John E. Thayer, at Lancaster, Mass., less than forty 
 
116 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 miles away. There is every reason to believe it was his bird that 
 visited Monadnoek. The nearest legitimate Raven country is the 
 middle, or middle-southern, Maine coast." 
 
 9-i. Blue Jay. Common all the year, but most in evidence in 
 winter. 
 
 95. Shore Lark. Irregular and apparently rare. Winter. Does 
 not nest here. 
 
 96. Least Flycatcher or Chebec. Very common. Early May 
 to late August. 
 
 97. Alder Flycatcher. (The eastern race of Traill's Flycatcher.) 
 Fairly common, but very local. There seem to be only two or three 
 places within this township where it can be found, in the nesting 
 season. 
 
 98. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Mr. Thayer observes: "Dub- 
 lin is, I think, the only place south of the White Mts. where this bird 
 has been found breeding. I discovered a pair here, several years ago, 
 in the boggy woods whence, nowadays, five times a day the great 
 scream issues. The birds were there for several successive summers; 
 })ut I am afraid it is all up with them now. More common in migra- 
 tion, — late INIay, early June, and early September. 
 
 99. Wood Pewee. Fairly common, from mid-May to September. 
 
 100. Olive-sided Flycatcher. This fine bird is by no means 
 common here nowadays; for some years it has been seldom seen. An 
 inliabitant of heavy timber, mixed or coniferous. Late May to Sep- 
 tember. 
 
 101. Phoebe. Fairly common, nesting under bridges and about 
 bath houses and other buildings. March to October. 
 
 10^>. Great Crested Flycatcher. Very rare. Arrives in late 
 ]\Iay or early June. 
 
 103. Kingbird. Common. Early May to late August. 
 
 104. Ruby-throated Hummingbird (females and young lack the 
 ruby throat). Common, last of May to September. 
 
 105. Chimney Swift (commonly, but mistakenly, called the 
 Chimney Swallow). Conunon; end of April to late September. 
 
 106. NiGHTHAWK ("hawk" is a nickname, the bird being a mild, 
 swallow-like cousin to the whippoorwall) . Not common nowadays in 
 summer. Nests on the bare Monadnoek ridge, on high roofs in the 
 heart of Keene, and on a few bleak hill-tops. Big or small migrating 
 flocks trail over Dublin in the early autumn, travelling by day. 
 
 107. Whippoorwill. Fairly common, but rather local; more 
 conmion from Dublin downward, in all directions. Early May to 
 late September. 
 
 108. Northern Flicker or Northern Golden-winged Wood- 
 pecker. Common, in migration abundant. Mid-April to November. 
 
 109. Red-headed Woodpecker. Very rare and irregular. In 
 twenty years, Mr. Thayer had seen about four. Late summer and 
 autumn. Does not nest here. 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 117 
 
 110. Northern Plicated ^YooDPECKER. Mr. Thayer observes: 
 "This magnificent bird, still fairly common here, and apparently not 
 decreasing, ought to be most rigorously protected. Local gunners and 
 taxidermists in adjoining towns still occasionally kill one, I am afraid. 
 The Plicated is the surgeon-general of our big timber, destroying 
 borers and other pests deep in the tree-trunks, where nothing else can 
 reach them. True, he makes great holes in the trees; but every tree 
 he opens would probably have died without him, and he not only 
 keeps the pest from spreading, but undoubtedly, by this heroic treat- 
 ment, keeps individual trees, otherwise doomed, alive for years. 
 Withal, he is a bird we should be proud of, for his size and beauty and 
 distinguished habits, and because, over the greater part of the United 
 States, he has become extinct, so that he may be looked on as a rarity." 
 Nests and winters here. 
 
 111. Yellow-bellied Woodpecker or Sapsucker. Nests here, 
 in big woods, but not very commonly. In migration (April, Septem- 
 ber, and October), very common. This is the bird that bores the 
 apple-trees. He drinks sap, but also eats insects that gather at the 
 sap-holes. Does not winter here. 
 
 112. Arctic Three-toed Woodpecker or Black-backed Three- 
 toed Woodpecker. Very rare and irregular. Spring, late autumn. 
 Winter.^ Does not nest here. 
 
 113. Downy Woodpecker. Fairly common all the year. 
 
 114. Hairy Woodpecker. Fairly common all the year; perhaps 
 most so in winter. 
 
 115. Belted Kingfisher. Fairly common, from early April to 
 November. 
 
 116. Black-billed Cuckoo. Mr. Thayer calls him the "most 
 mysterious bird in America, a day-bird, always so-called, an eater of 
 caterpillars, a gleaner in thickets, and a glider among apple-trees, 
 who spends his nights in flying about, high in the empty air, over hills 
 and forests! Almost any night, if you are out in some quiet place, you 
 can hear his little gurgling cry, first overhead, then farther off, re- 
 peated once or twice as the bird proceeds upon his journey. In Dub- 
 lin, there is no other over-head night-sound half so common. More 
 than this, the cuckoo seen and heard by day is nowhere near so com- 
 mon as this night voice is. Shall we say, then, that the cuckoo is a 
 night-bird? Why should he spend his time in going long journeys 
 through the air.^ This would all be very well in the season of migra- 
 tion; most day-birds migrate by night, flying high and far; but is the 
 cuckoo migrating all summer, — back and forth in all directions?" 
 On the contrary, Mr. Thayer observed a Cuckoo's nest, with young, on 
 September 14th, in Dublin, and the birds first appear in May. " They 
 often call from perches in the night-time, too; but then they more often 
 use the reiterated 'cow, cow, cow' note. Sometimes again they give 
 this call when they are passing over; but the little gurgle is their usual 
 sky-note. Certainly they are strange sprites, — as yet quite unex- 
 
118 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 plained." [We have somewhat abridged Mr. Thayer's note upon 
 this bird. — J. L. S.] 
 
 117. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Uncommon and irregular. It is 
 not known that it nests here. In most seasons none at all are seen; 
 one year, they were fairly common for a few days in September. 
 
 118. American Hawk Owl. One or two have been seen in the 
 late fall and early winter. One, late in November, 1905, flew from 
 a maple-tree near the Monadnock post-office and perched on the 
 lightning-rod crowning one of the big chimneys on the Catlin house. 
 Does not nest here. 
 
 119. Great Horned Owl. Fairly common all the year. Most 
 noisy in the fall and winter. 
 
 120. Screech Owl. Rare. Undoubtedly nests sometimes in the 
 lower part of the township. 
 
 121. Acadian, or Saw^-whet, Owl. Sometimes fairlj^ common in 
 the late fall and early winter. Probably nests here. (Mr. Thayer and 
 his father, a few years ago, saw, at night, what they believed to be a 
 Richardson's Owl, but did not make sure.) 
 
 122. Great Gray Ow^l. Mr. Thayer observes that a man in Ches- 
 ham has one, stuffed, which was shot more than twenty years ago on 
 Monadnock, near the Mountain Brook, in the late fall or winter. He 
 thinks another such visitor may, some day, be seen, coming from the 
 far north. 
 
 123. Barred Owl. Common, — the commonest Dublin Owl, 
 and the most noisy. Here all the year. 
 
 124. American Long-eared Owl. Apparently rare; but un- 
 doubtedly nests here, and winters also. 
 
 125. American Osprey or Fish Haw^k. Fairly common in mi- 
 gration. April and May, September and October. Osprey s are often 
 mistaken for eagles. Do not nest here. 
 
 126. American Sparrow Hawk. Rare here. It is not known to 
 nest nearer than Keene. 
 
 127. Pigeon Hawk. This little bird-catching falcon of the north 
 passes through Dublin in the spring and fall, but is never common. 
 Does not nest here. 
 
 128. Duck Hawk or American Peregrine Falcon. Mr. Thayer 
 observes: "The Peregrine, in some ways the finest bird that flies, is 
 rare here, and does not nest (?) nearer than Berkshire and Franklin 
 Counties, Mass., although a few years back we used pretty often to 
 see a pair circling over Monadnock, A falcon aerie would add won- 
 derfully to the charm of our little mountain, although it would mean 
 losses in doves and poultry to the farmers of the region. (At least 
 twice, in early winter, we have seen what was almost certainly a 
 Gyrfalcon flying over Dublin; but, unfortunately, we have no proved 
 record of that noble bird's occurrence here.) " 
 
 129. Bald Eagle. Uncommon, says Mr. Thayer, and "I do not 
 know of its nesting in this immediate region. We see about half a 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 119 
 
 dozen eagles a year. My father once saw seven together, near the top 
 of Monadnock, but they usually appear singly. Dublin Lake and 
 Beech Hill are favorite points of call for eagles that come this way." 
 
 130. Broad-winged Hawk. Common, April to October; some- 
 times abundant in migration. The commonest and tamest Dublin 
 Hawk. Feeds on snakes, frogs, and caterpillars. 
 
 131. Red-shouldered Hawk. Rather rare and irregular. Absent 
 in winter, but undoubtedly sometimes nests here. 
 
 132. Red-tailed Hawk. Fairly common. Next to the Osprey, 
 the biggest Hawk of this region. It is not the big Hawks, however, 
 that do most of the poultry-stealing, but some of the middle-sized and 
 small ones. The big ones are almost all beneficial to mankind, because 
 of the great number of mice and other harmful rodents they destroy. 
 The Red-tail is here the year round, but seems to be rare in mid- 
 winter. 
 
 133. American Goshawk. An autumn and winter visitant from 
 the north, sometimes fairly common in November and December. 
 This is the only big Hawk of our region that is much of a poultry- 
 catcher, and, at the season of its visits, hens are likely to be safely 
 housed. The Goshawk has been found nesting at Alstead, about 
 twenty miles north-west of Dublin. 
 
 134. Cooper's Hawk. Fairly common, April to October, most 
 common in migration. 
 
 135. Sharp-shinned Hawk. Common, April to October, most 
 common in migration. This is a chicken-stealer, and so, still more is 
 the Cooper's Hawk. 
 
 136. Marsh Hawk. Fairly common, April to November; more 
 common in migration. 
 
 137. Ruffed Grouse [and Canadian Ruffed Grouse (?)]. Says 
 Mr. Thayer: "Dublin birds seem intermediate between the two races, 
 with a tendency toward the gray Canadian type on Monadnock and 
 the higher hills, and toward the southern type in the valleys. — Very 
 common. Much of the cover here is rough and diflacult for shooting, 
 and the birds are lasting well; but it is only a small oasis in the desert 
 of over-shot countr5^ Grouse may sometimes be flushed from beds 
 of mountain cranberry on the very top of Monadnock, — in the late 
 fall and during winter thaws." [The Grouse are more frequently 
 called Partridges. — J. L. S.] 
 
 138. Bob-white or Quail, Rare. Quail have been brought here 
 and liberated (?), but, Mr. Thayer says: "We used to hear them once 
 in a while, in old times, before this happened." 
 
 139. Semipalmated Plover or Ring-neck. Rare migrant in the 
 fall. (Keene Reservoir.) Does not nest here. 
 
 140. American Golden Plover. Rare and irregular, autumn. 
 A flock has been seen near the top of Monadnock, during a heavy 
 easterly storm. Does not nest here. 
 
 141. Spotted Sandpiper. Common, early May to October. 
 
120 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 14'2. Bartramian Sandpiper. "Upland Plover." Rare in sum- 
 mer: — indeed, although they used to nest on Spalding Hill, the near- 
 est present breeding-place seems to be the big Hancock meadow. 
 More common in migration, August and September (though their 
 presence is only betrayed by their mellow call-note, as they pass 
 overhead at night). 
 
 143. Solitary Sandpiper. Fairly common migrant, late May, 
 August to October. Probably nests here sometimes, as we have found 
 it here throughout the summer. 
 
 144. Yellow-legs or Summer Yellow-legs. Rare migrant. 
 May, August to September. Does not nest here. 
 
 145. Greater Yelloav-legs or Winter Yellow-legs. Uncom- 
 mon migrant, May, September, and October. Does not nest here. 
 
 146. Semipalmated Sandpiper or Peep. Rare (?) migrant, au- 
 tumn. (Keene Reservoir.) Does not nest here. 
 
 147. Least Sandpiper or Peep. Rare (.''); autumn. (Keene Reser- 
 voir.) Other Sandpipers and Shore-birds undoubtedly visit Dublin, 
 Mr. Thayer has seen and heard several such, which he could not 
 surely identify, — passing, by day or by night, — particularly dur- 
 ing easterly storms in the fall. One of these is probably the Knot 
 (Tringa canutus). The Least Sandpiper does not nest here. 
 
 148. American Woodcock. The Woodcock is still fairly com- 
 mon here, and the remarkable flight-song of the male, given in the 
 late twilight and on moonlight nights, may be heard every spring 
 over meadows and copses in many parts of Dublin. 
 
 149. Red Phalarope. Mr. Thayer observes : "On October 2, 1907, 
 after a storm, Miss Fannie Dwight found a Red Phalarope, in silvery 
 autumn plumage, lying dead in the field east of her house. It was 
 quite fresh, and perfect, without a wound; but the body, beneath its 
 wonderful puff of soft oily feathers, proved to be sadly emaciated. 
 Evidently this little sea-bird had been swept inland by the storm, and 
 had starved to death, failing to find the proper food on ponds and 
 lakes. Several years before this, October 11, 1903, during a great 
 easterly storm, which brought many kinds of sea-birds, my father 
 and I saw a Phalarope, probably of the same kind, on Dublin Lake. 
 This bird was still strong of wing, and restless, and we did not get 
 near it." 
 
 150. SoRA Rail, Carolina Rail. Apparently rare. Mr. Thayer 
 has found it in the breeding season in the marshes of the Peterborough 
 stream (Dublin Light- Works water), near the bridge on the road to 
 Peterborough. He adds: "The Virginia Rail ought to be found here; 
 but, thus far, we have looked for it in vain. Both the Yellow Rail and 
 the Little Black Rail might possibly be found here also." 
 
 151. Black-crowned Night Heron. Quawk. Rather rare and 
 irregular. Appears most often in midsummer and early autumn. Does 
 not breed in this immediate neighborhood. Mr. Thayer asks: "Where 
 is the nearest night-heron rookery, I wonder?" 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 121 
 
 152. Green Heron or Little Green Heron. Fairly common, 
 about the suitable muddy ponds and streams. May to September. 
 
 153. Great Blue Heron (often miscalled Crane). Fairly com- 
 mon — for a bird so big and wild; but Mr. Thayer does not know of 
 its nesting in the township. April and May, September and October. 
 
 154. American Bittern. Common. There are two or three pairs 
 each in several of the big, marshy meadows within the township. 
 Bitterns may sometimes be seen "booming" from the Light-Works 
 bridge, on the Peterborough road. Late April to October. 
 
 155. Canada Goose. Irregular, but fairly common. March and 
 April, October and November. Flocks sometimes rest on Dublin 
 Lake. Does not nest here. 
 
 156. Surf Scoter or Skunk Head or Sea Coot. 
 
 157. White-winged Scoter or White-winged Coot. 
 
 158. American Scoter or Black Scoter or Black Coot or But- 
 ter-bill. 
 
 All three kinds of Scoter visit Dublin Lake almost every autumn. 
 The Black Scoter is the most regular, and comes in the biggest flocks, 
 
 — sometimes a hundred strong; the Surf Scoter is the least common, 
 
 — although by no means rare. Late September to December. The 
 Scoters do not nest here. 
 
 159. Old Squaw or Long-tailed Duck. Irregular and uncom- 
 mon; October and November. One or two big flocks have been seen 
 on Dublin Lake. Does not nest here. 
 
 160. American Golden-eye or Whistler. Rare and irregular. 
 Late Autumn. Does not nest here. 
 
 161. Greater Scaup Duck (or Lesser Scaup.? — Mr. Thayer 
 has had no specimens). Once or twice, in late autumn, he has seen 
 Scaup Ducks on Dublin Lake. He believes that he has seen Red- 
 heads, too, but they were not surely identified. They do not nest 
 here. 
 
 162. Wood Duck. This glorious bird, the most beautiful Duck 
 in the world, and treasured in aviaries the world over, still nests 
 within our township. The late summer shooting which threatened its 
 existence here is now illegal, but it is to be feared that it has not al- 
 together stopped. April to November. Mr. Thayer has heard of the 
 shooting of a Teal here, evidently the Green-winged Teal, but he had 
 not seen the bird, when he prepared this monograph. 
 
 163. Black Duck. 
 Red-legged Black Duck. 
 
 Mr. Thayer remarks: "We do not yet know to which race the 
 Dublin breeding birds belong, for we have had no chance to examine 
 a specimen (being unwilling to shoot them here) ; but it is likely that 
 both forms could be found here in the spring and fall. — Uncommon, 
 but nests regularly in at least one locality. April to November. 
 
 164. Red-breasted Merganser. Uncommon and irregular. 
 October and November. Does not nest here. 
 
122 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 165. American Merganser, Goosander. Rare and irregular. 
 Late fall. Mr. Thayer observes: "Once, in early December, after the 
 ice had begun to form, I saw on Dublin Lake a pair of birds which 
 were almost certainly Hooded Mergansers. They were very shy, or 
 restless, and I failed to identify them quite positively." The Mer- 
 gansers do not nest here. 
 
 166. Bonaparte's Gull. Rare and irregular; occasionally ap- 
 pears on Dublin Lake in the spring and fall (early June, October). 
 Does not nest here. • 
 
 167. Herring Gull. Irregular and uncommon. Occasionally 
 pays a passing visit to Dublin Lake, especially during big autumn 
 storms. This is the common big sea-gull of the coast. Does not nest 
 here. 
 
 168. Red-throated Loon. Rare and irregular. Sometimes visits 
 Dublin in October and November, during storms. Does not nest 
 here. 
 
 169. Loon. Fairly common. Loons are still faithful to Dublin 
 Lake as visitors, but not as nesters. Mr. Thayer remarks: "We sum- 
 mer folks are too much for them. They have now forsaken Breed 
 Pond in Chesham, also, I believe. . . . The Loons that still honor us 
 with frequent summer visits probably come from Long Pond (Nu- 
 banusit Lake), north of Harris ville. There, a pair or two still nest. 
 In the spring and fall, and especially during autumn storms, migrant 
 Loons from other regions often drop into our lake, sometimes in num- 
 bers (fifteen or twenty together)." 
 
 170. Horned Grebe, Water-witch, Hell-diver. A regular and 
 fairly common autumn visitor to Dublin Lake, rare in the spring. 
 October to December. Does not nest here. 
 
 171. Holboell's Grebe, American Red-necked Grebe. An 
 autumn visitant to Dublin Lake; very irregular, sometimes fairly 
 common. In October, 1903, a big easterly storm brought twelve or 
 fifteen of these Grebes — among many other sea-birds — and they 
 stayed for several days. They are sometimes rather noisy, and their 
 notes are most extraordinary. 
 
 Mr. Thayer, in a letter to the editor, informed him that he 
 found the following six species, for the first time, in the summer of 
 1912: 
 
 172. Virginia Rail. 
 
 173. KiLDEER Plover. 
 
 174. Baird's Sandpiper. 
 
 175. Pectoral Sandpiper. 
 
 176. Wilson's Snipe. 
 
 177. Pied-billed Grebe. 
 
 Mr. Thayer also wrote that two other species had been almost 
 certainly identified, in the fall of 1912: 
 
 178. American Widgeon or Baldpate Duck. 
 
 179. Mallard Duck. 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 123 
 
 One hundred years ago, Mr. Thayer would have added the 
 Wild Turkey, Meleagris Gallopavo, var. Americana. This bird 
 is now extirpated in New England. It is said to be still found 
 in Canada, and in the north-west part of North America. Varie- 
 ties are said to occur in Texas and Mexico. 
 
 As late as fifty years ago, perhaps later, would have been 
 added the beautiful Wild Pigeon, once so abundant. Its flesh 
 was a table delicacy. They have been exterminated, at least in 
 this part of the United States. Mr. Thayer's list did not, of 
 course, include the domesticated fowls, doves, guinea-fowls, 
 and imported birds. 
 
 The reptiles found in Dublin comprise two or three kinds of 
 turtles, two or three species of lizards, and a few harmless 
 snakes, including green and garter snakes; water, red-bellied, 
 and brown snakes; and occasionally house adders and bUck 
 snakes. Rattlesnakes have been found in town, but we are not 
 aware that one has been seen recently within our limits. The 
 batrachians are represented by a few kinds of frogs, tree-toads, 
 and the common toad. Within the limits of Dublin, more than 
 two thousand different species of insects have been collected. 
 Many more would be discovered by further investigations. 
 The mollusca are represented by land snails and fresh-water 
 clams. The lower orders of the animal kingdom are represented 
 by the earth-worm, blood-sucker, and numerous species which 
 have not been carefully studied and classified. 
 
 The native forest trees of Dublin are beech, rock or sugar 
 maple, white maple, red maple, spruce, hemlock, balsam-fir, 
 American larch or hackmatack, white pine, red oak, elm, wild 
 cherry (red and black), bass-wood, the several kinds of birch 
 (white, gray, and yellow), chestnut, butternut, ash, and other 
 trees and shrubs common in this latitude and at our elevation 
 above the sea. White oak, hickory, and pitch-pine are not 
 now found here; and, except the latter, it is doubtful whether 
 they ever existed within our limits as a native growth. The 
 beautiful mountain-ash is found in some places, and the 
 evergreen arbor vitae, near some of the ponds and in damp 
 locations. 
 
 The wild fruits are those of the upright blackberry, rasp- 
 berry, low and high blueberry, checkerberry (or wintergreen), 
 strawberry, and, in some spots, the black huckleberry. The 
 shad-berry is common. The white blossoms appear early in the 
 spring. It is seldom that many of the berries remain upon the 
 trees till they are ripe. Their taste is a pleasant, mild acid, and 
 
124 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 children are fond of them; but, if many are eaten with the stones 
 they are likely to produce a slight sickness, or nausea. The 
 shad-berry, or shad-bush, is so named because its flowers ap- 
 pear when the shad begin to ascend the streams. It is some- 
 times called the wild pear, or wild sugar-pear. Its seeds or 
 stones are hard, and sharply pointed at one end, which is the 
 probable cause of their producing nausea. The fruit is said to 
 be improved by cultivation.^ Low blueberries are most abun- 
 dant on the sides of Monadnock Mountain. They ripen there 
 later than in other situations. Large quantities are gathered 
 in some seasons. The high blackberries often yield a plentiful 
 supply, constitute a healthful fruit, and are much used. Wild 
 strawberries are less abundant than in former days, when the 
 land was first cultivated; but the delicious cultivated straw- 
 berries are so much to be preferred to the wild berries, in the 
 opinion of most persons, that the field berries are not so much 
 sought as formerly. Raspberries are often found by the sides 
 of the travelled roads, and their fragrance is grateful. Their 
 flavor is so delicious that the cultivated raspberries have not 
 supplanted the market for the wild fruit. 
 
 The objects of natural history in New Hampshire, for many 
 years, were not thoroughly investigated and described. Dr. 
 Jackson's "Geological Survey of New Hampshire" was a valu- 
 able work in its day, but less complete than the importance of the 
 subject demanded. Hitchcock's " Geology of New Hampshire," 
 in several massive volumes, with an accompanying geological at- 
 las, is a work of great value of a more recent date. The subject is 
 exhaustively treated with great fulness of detail, and supplies a 
 vast amount of useful information which had previously been 
 lacking. The surveys made by legislative authority in Massa- 
 chusetts and New York include all the branches of natural 
 history. Parts of the works published by these states are ap- 
 plicable to New Hampshire, and much may be learned from 
 them respecting our own natural history. Dr. Harris's "Trea- 
 tise on some of the Insects of New England which are Injurious 
 to Vegetation" can still be consulted with profit by every farmer, 
 although modern treatises have been issued which bring the 
 subject to date and deal with certain insect pests that have 
 made their appearance in later years, such as the brown-tail 
 and gypsy moths. Insects, though small in size, often become 
 formidable by their numbers. Their destructive power is far 
 greater than that of crows and foxes, for the heads of which the

 state has sometimes offered a bounty. During recent winters, 
 experts have been employed to pick, or clip, from the branches 
 of Dublin trees the nests of the brown-tail and gypsy moths. 
 They trained the men and boys of the town to perform this 
 work. Many thousands of their nests were destroyed. In some 
 towns these destructive insects practically destroyed whole 
 forests, and ruined many shade and ornamental trees. It will 
 require constant vigilance to exterminate them in this town, all 
 the more so because adjoining towns do not take similar pre- 
 cautions to destroy such pests, and they spread from neighbor- 
 ing forests into Dublin. 
 
 The climate of Dublin is what might be expected from its 
 elevation above the ocean. The winds are often strong, but 
 the air is pure and bracing. The evenings and mornings of the 
 hot season are generally cool and refreshing. The snow^ in 
 winter is often deep, and remains longer on the ground in the 
 spring than in the towns which border on the Connecticut and 
 Merrimack Rivers; but the thermometer on the hills does not 
 sink so low, on the cold, frosty mornings of winter, as in the 
 latter situations. Stage-drivers, that started early from the 
 valleys, in former days, were always glad to reach the higher 
 land. It is the strong wind and the drifting snow that make 
 travelling over the hills in the winter uncomfortable and dif- 
 ficult. For the past few years, however, there has been so little 
 snow that it has been difficult to decide whether to start with 
 a wheeled vehicle or a sleigh, the bare ground offering obstacles 
 nearly as serious as those of the drifts in former winters. For 
 many years due regard was not paid to the preservation of the 
 forests, with reference to the protection of buildings and culti- 
 vated fields from the violence of the winds. The crops on the 
 hills were less exposed than those in the valleys to early and 
 late frosts. The decline of the farming industry in these later 
 years, the purchase of large tracts of land by city summer 
 residents, and the growth of brush and small timber in the old 
 pastures and mowing-fields, have collectively modified con- 
 siderably the conditions affecting early and late crops. 
 
 From four daily observations, during the year 1852, the 
 mean of the thermometer for each month was as follows : — 
 January, 14.3; February, 19.9; March, 26.2; April, 33.5; May, 
 49.7; June, 62.7; July, 68.2; August, 62.1; September, 57.7; 
 October, 45.8; November, 28.3; December, 27.9. The mini- 
 mum, January 20, 1852, was 16 below zero; and the maximum, 
 July 9, 1852, was 91 above zero. The changes from a higher 
 
126 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 to a lower temperature are sometimes sudden. The thermome- 
 ter on one occasion sank from 81 to 43 in less than nine hours. 
 This, however, was an extreme case. Hitchcock (Geology of New 
 Hampshire, Vol, I., p. 144) gives the following as the average 
 temperature of Dublin for the different months and seasons of 
 the year: — January, 18.52; February, 21.58; March, 27.70; 
 April, 3C.99; May,'49.14; June, 63.18; July, 67.15; August, 
 64.18; September, 57.37; October, 45.44; November, 33.67; 
 December, 21.14; spring, 37.94; summer, 64.84; autumn, 45.49; 
 winter, 20.41. 
 
 The geological formation of Dublin is primitive. Hitchcock 
 refers it to the porphyritic gneiss of the Laurentian series. 
 He thus describes it, in his "Geology of New Hampshire" 
 (Vol. II., p. 471): — "In Dublin, south of Monadnock Lake, 
 there is an isolated hill near Mr. Phillips's,^ where the crystals 
 of feldspar are much smaller than those foimd elsewhere in the 
 porphyritic gneiss. Here they are not much more than a quarter 
 of an inch in thickness, and three quarters of an inch in length. 
 The same rock outcrops near Peter Morse's,^ and it is associated 
 with a pyritiferous schist, but interstratified with it there is a 
 dark fine-grained gneiss. The dip of the porphyritic rock is 
 N. 8°; W. 35°, and the pyritiferous schist is unconformable 
 with it. The rock in the south-east part of the town has many 
 of the lithological characteristics of the porphyritic gneiss, 
 though the large crystals of feldspar are wanting, and it resem- 
 bles the gneiss of Bradford. In the north-east part of Dublin, 
 and extending into Harrisville, the gneiss is porphyritic. At 
 J. Gilchrest's are many ledges, and there are outcrops along 
 the branch of Contoocook River to the outlet of North Pond 
 [the long pond below Harrisville]. Its western boundary ex- 
 tends from near the fork of the roads above schoolhouse No. 9, 
 a little west of north, to D. French's, south of Long Pond; 
 thence it extends through Nelson." 
 
 The same author, in speaking of the pyritiferous rocks, ob- 
 serves (Vol. IL, p. 490): — "If this is the same rock as the 
 fibrolite schist or gneiss, then we have a line of outcrops from 
 Mt. Prospect to the southern border of the state, including 
 Ragged, Kearsarge, and Monadnock Mountains." Again, 
 commenting on siliceous pyritiferous schist (II. , p. 490), he 
 observes: — "It is in Cheshire County where these schists are 
 most extensively developed. They occupy a large part of Sul- 
 
 1 Near Mrs. Hill's cottage. 
 
 ^ In 1915, the lower cottage of Dwight estate. 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 127 
 
 livan, Nelson, Roxbiiry, Harrisville, Dublin, and Rindge; also 
 parts of Marlborough, Jaffrey, Fitzwilliam, and Richmond." 
 
 Hitchcock (II., pp. 50'2-3) thus describes the geology of 
 Monadnock Mountain and vicinity: — "The Monadnock range 
 has its northern limit at the northern extremity of Beech Hill, 
 where it has a dip almost directly north; but, on the same 
 hill, south, the dip is north-west. The rock seems more allied 
 to hydro-mica schist than to the common mica schist, and it 
 contains a compact fibrolite. It is the rock directly east of 
 Monadnock Lake, and it occupies an area of country here at 
 least two and a half miles in width. It is the rock of the country 
 directly south of Dublin village, nearly to Thorndike Pond, and 
 south-west it is connected with the ridge of Monadnock. 
 There is an outcrop just south-east of the eastern extremity of 
 Monadnock, and, on the road still further south, the rock is 
 more decidedly a hydro-mica schist than that found elsewhere 
 in this range. Following the ridge of Monadnock, the rock is 
 c|uite uniform until we get near the highest point of the moun- 
 tain, when it becomes more compact, has fewer cleavage planes, 
 and contains some chlorite. The fibrolite, though generally 
 present, is not so abundant as on Beech Hill, and it is the vari- 
 ety that was formerly called bucholzite. On the north side of 
 Monadnock, probably 120 rods a little east of north from the 
 hotel, considerable quantities of graphite were formerly ob- 
 tained, but the mine is now nearly or quite exhausted. The fact 
 that graphite occurs here, would ally the rocks of Monadnock 
 with the older rather than the newer rocks. On the north-west 
 side of the mountain, and not far from a mile south-east of L. 
 Darling's [the G. W. Eaves place], the rock resembles the mi- 
 caceous gneiss of the White Mountains, and it contains an abun- 
 dance of the fibrous variety of fibrolite. The rock on the ridge 
 extending southward from the summit of Monadnock is very 
 similar to that on the ridge northward, and it crosses the road 
 just west of the toll-gate [no longer serving its original purpose], 
 where it is a very narrow band, and nearly vertical." 
 
 Wheelock, in the "American Naturalist" (Vol. VIII. , for 
 1873), alluding to the primeval condition of Monadnock, declares 
 that "Monadnock was an island in a sea of icebergs, which struck 
 equally strong upon both the north-west and south-east sides. 
 There is certainly a dearth of striated ledges upon the south- 
 east side, while even the earth has been largely removed from 
 the north-west flank, so mighty has been the planishment of 
 the rock." In that ice age, this island summit was scarified, on 
 
128 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 both sides, by icebergs. The summit of Monadnock was the 
 first land that appeared above water in New Hampshire out- 
 side the White Mountain district. 
 
 The land in Dublin is rocky, and the soil hard to cultivate. 
 A few farms in the easterly part of the town have portions of 
 sandy or gravelly land. Although the soil is hard, yet, under 
 good cultivation, it produces fair crops of maize, oats, barley, 
 and potatoes. On many farms wheat was formerly raised. For 
 that crop the land must be well prepared and well manured. 
 When treated with leached ashes, the yield is greater. It was 
 sown here in the spring. Rye may be sown on the sandy lands ; 
 and it was common, on the first clearing of a piece of land, to 
 rake in rye in the autumn, after the ground had been burned 
 over. Much of the pasture-land is covered with what is called 
 white grass. It goes to seed early in the season, and, for the 
 rest of the year, gives a white appearance to the fields in which 
 it predominates. Whether these pastures can be recruited with- 
 out cultivation and manuring is a problem which has not yet 
 been practically solved. On some of these pastures, a young 
 growth of spruce, and occasionally of pine, is in evidence. At 
 first, this was considered a decided improvement on the sterile 
 aspect presented by a ripe growth of ivhite grass, but, as time 
 has advanced, so many cultivated fields have been obliterated 
 by such a growth, and so many farms abandoned, that certain 
 portions of the town present a picture of desolation. 
 
 One of the early settlers of the town said that it was repre- 
 sented to him before he came, and as an inducement to pur- 
 chase a farm, that the land in Dublin was so fertile that "it 
 would never need any manure." Settlers were soon undeceived 
 with regard to such representations, but the land well repays a 
 generous culture; and, as labor has become less easily attain- 
 able and more costly, the practice has become more common of 
 cultivating a less number of acres. Necessity is compelling the 
 tillers of the soil to pay more attention to the science of agricul- 
 ture, and to adopt such methods for improvement as have been 
 practically tested. 
 
 Dr. Jackson, a former state geologist, in his final report, 1844, 
 says: — "Bogs of peat were observed near the road through Dub- 
 lin, and the peat may be economically employed in making 
 compost for agricultural use. Drift scratches are common on 
 the rocks and run north and south." 
 
 Specimens of soil from the farm of Thomas Fisk, Esq., the 
 farm now known as Monadnock No. 3, were sent to Dr. Jack-

 As an illustration of the productiveness of Dublin farms in 
 what may perhaps be called the palmy days of agriculture in 
 the town, we give the statistics of farm products for the year 
 1838: — 
 
 Number of acres of wheat sown 119^ 
 
 " bushels raised 1,771 
 
 " acres of rye sown on ploughed land . . 34 
 
 " bushels raised 340 
 
 " acres sown with barley 112 
 
 " bushels raised 2,734 
 
 " acres sown with oats 101

 " acres sown with ruta-baga '7}/2 
 
 " bushels raised 3,976 
 
 " bushels of mangel-wurzel and sugar beets 204 
 " pounds of maple sugar 21,300 
 
 It was remarked, however, with regard to the crops of 1838, 
 that the season was unfavorable for some of them, particularly 
 the root crops. Wheat was not so good as in the previous year. 
 The wheat crop ranged from seven to thirty-six bushels per 
 acre; and it is worthy of notice that the two extremes were in 
 the same neighborhood, and on similar soil. 
 
 GOLD MINE 
 
 More than forty years ago, gold was discovered on the east- 
 ern side of lot 3, range 3. The discovery created some excite- 
 ment, and a company was formed, in 1875, known as "The 
 
NATURAL HISTORY 131 
 
 Diamond Ledge Gold Mine Company," to open and operate 
 the mine. Shafts were sunk to considerable depths, and a 
 complete plant was erected for working the ore. The plant 
 was operated only a portion of that season, when it was aban- 
 doned and later moved away. The general opinion was that 
 little, if any, gold was obtained. No further attempt was 
 ever made to mine gold there. 
 
 CHEMICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY 
 
 The Dublin Chemical and Bacteriological Laboratory was 
 incorporated in 1909 "to aid physicians and boards of health 
 and individuals, by sanitary and medical examinations, to 
 investigate and test water supplies and sewerage disposal 
 systems, foods and beverages of all kinds, and to pursue any 
 other scientific studies or investigations which tend to im- 
 prove the health and sanitary conditions or comfort of the 
 public or of individuals." The extermination of mosquitoes, 
 under the advice of a government expert, has been systemati- 
 cally and effectively begun by the laboratory. It is located 
 on the south side of Monadnock Lake, near the summer 
 cottage of Dr. Stowell, in lot 12, range 5.

 Masonian Proprietors 
 
 IViR. Mason, in the "Centennial Address," alludes to the 
 grant of the township now called Dublin by the Proprietors of 
 Lands Purchased of John Tufton Mason (usually known as the 
 Masonian Proprietors) to Matthew Thornton and thirty-nine 
 others. The following is a copy of the deed of grant to which 
 Mr. Mason referred. The spelling and punctuation of the orig- 
 inal have been preserved. It must, therefore, be read with the 
 greatest care, to avoid confusion, especially in the names of 
 persons, that words which should be grouped together, as those 
 forming the name of an individual, be not misplaced in the

 The foregoing draught of shares, though attested as a true 
 copy, has several errors. Peter Powers and Theodore Atkinson 
 are both credited with having drawn lot 19 in the third range, 
 and Clement March and Richard Wibird as having drawn 
 lot 3 in the tenth range. Lot 21 in the first range is twice given 
 to John Rindge. From an old tax list, it is ascertained that Mr. 
 Rindge drew lots 20 and 21 in the first range. 
 
 The editor of this revised history has made a personal ex- 
 amination of the Masonian records in the office of the Secretary 
 of State at Concord and finds that this copy is virtually a 
 true copy of the original manuscript. The same errors appear 
 in the record-book of the Masonian Proprietors. The mistake 
 with respect to the lots of Peter Powers and Theodore Atkinson 
 was very soon discovered and rectified. Lot 19 in the third 
 range was properly assigned to Mr. Atkinson, while the lot 
 actually drawn by Mr. Powers was lot 12 in the third range, 
 which was assigned to him in the corrected records. The double 
 assignment of the third lot in the tenth range was apparently 
 an error of a similar nature, but we failed to find the correc- 
 tion. The assignment, twice, of the same lot to Mr. Rindge is 
 the same upon the original minutes. All of these blunders 
 were obviously clerical errors in transcribing notes placed in 
 the hands of the copyist. 
 
138 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 It is recorded in the records of the Masonian Proprietors that 
 the grantees of North Monadnock (Dubhn), at a meeting held, 
 August 4, 1752, unanimously accepted the grant. In the 
 record book of the Proprietors, the names of the grantees of 
 North Monadnock are spelled differently, in many cases, from 
 the orthography here given, but as there appears to have been 
 no invariable method of spelling proper names at that time, 
 it would not be worth the while to point out these grotesque 
 differences. 
 
 Joseph Blanchard of Dunstable was agent of the original 
 purchasers of Mason's claim (who were known as the Ma- 
 sonian Proprietors). As he was a surveyor, he was employed, it 
 is supposed, in running the lines for Monadnock No. 3, and for 
 dividing the same into ranges and lots. It will be observed that 
 eighteen shares were reserved in the charter for the grantors 
 to be "acquitted of all duty and charge until improved by the 
 owners." 
 
 It will be proper to insert here a few observations respecting 
 these grantors and how they happened to be empowered to 
 make the grant. Shortly after the first settlement of what is 
 now known as New Hampshire, Capt. John Mason of England, 
 in 1629, received a patent of this territory under the name of 
 New Hampshire. It was an entailed estate and nominally re- 
 mained in the possession of Mason and his direct descendants 
 for several generations. An attempt was made to sell it to 
 Samuel Allen of London, but, although the entail was docked, 
 certain irregularities pertaining to the sale were discovered 
 which invalidated the title, and the estate reverted to the heirs 
 of John Mason, in the direct line, according to the rules of 
 primogeniture. 
 
 John Tufton Mason, of the sixth generation from Capt. 
 John Mason, was confirmed in the title to this large tract of 
 land. Its boundaries were long a matter of dispute. The bounds 
 given in the patent were so indefinite that no literal interpre- 
 tation was possible. Massachusetts claimed much of the land 
 that is now included in New Hampshire. We shall not take 
 the space to discuss the long controversy concerning this 
 patent. When the lines were finally established, in the middle 
 of the eighteenth century, the Masonian Patent, as it was 
 called, was of a somewhat triangular shape. The south side 
 was on the newly-established boundary line between Massa- 
 chusetts and New Hampshire, the eastern side was on the line 
 between Maine and New Hampshire, and the other side was a 
 
SETTLEMENT OF DUBLIN 139 
 
 line connecting the western point of the southern boundary 
 with the northern point of the eastern boundary. It was often 
 called the "curved line," but it was more properly a broken 
 line, beginning at the western point of the southern line of 
 the patent, consisting of sections of five or six miles each, 
 each section bearing a few degrees more to the east than 
 the one preceding, the last section terminating on the Maine 
 line, at the northern point of the eastern line of the pat- 
 ent. This broken line, which was very accurately surveyed 
 by the same Joseph Blanchard of Dunstable (now Nashua) 
 who surveyed the lots and ranges of Dublin, is known in his- 
 tory as the "Masonian Patent Line," or simply the "Patent 
 Line." 
 
 The Mason heirs, claiming positive ownership of this patent, 
 had demanded rents from time to time of the occupants of the 
 soil. They were never successful to any marked degree in ob- 
 taining such rents, because the settlers violently resisted the at- 
 tempts to collect them, even with force, at times. However, their 
 threats were a constant menace. To be rid of the annoyance, 
 efforts were made to induce the provincial legislature to take 
 steps to purchase Mason's interest in the patent. The legis- 
 lators were very dilatory in the matter. John Tufton Mason, 
 in the mean time, who had, with no little difficulty, secured a 
 confirmation of his title to the patent, had also mastered the 
 technicalities in the matter of entail and other legal difficul- 
 ties that barred his way, and had become enabled to sell this 
 vast estate. The legislature, at last, got around to appoint a 
 committee to consider the matter of purchasing Mason's claim, 
 but they were too late. On that very day. Mason had sold his 
 title to a syndicate of twelve men, who have ever since been 
 known as the Masonian Proprietors. The purchase was on 
 July 30, 1746, O. S., which corresponds to August 10, 1746, 
 N. S. We have carefully examined both the legislative and the 
 Masonian records, and find the date to be as we have given it. 
 In the margin of Belknap's History of New Hampshire, the 
 date is erroneously given as January 30, and this error has been 
 repeated in the histories of Marlborough and Troy, and in 
 other works. 
 
 The original purchasers of Mason's claim were: Theodore 
 Atkinson, Mark Hunking Wentworth, Richard Wibird, John 
 Wentworth, George Jaffrey, Samuel Moore, Nathaniel Me- 
 serve, Thomas Packer, Thomas Wallingford, Jotham Odiorne, 
 Joshua Pierce, and John Moffat. All were of Portsmouth, ex- 
 
140 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 cepting Mr. Wallingford, who lived in Somersworth, and Mr. 
 Packer, who lived in Greenland. The property was divided 
 into fifteen shares. Mr. Atkinson took three-fifteenths, M. H. 
 Wentworth took two-fifteenths, and each of the other pur- 
 chasers one-fifteenth. 
 
 Before the date of the granting of the charter to North Mo- 
 nadnock (Dublin), the number of the Masonian Proprietors had 
 been increased to twenty-one, by the addition of nine more to 
 the syndicate. These were: John Rindge, Joseph Blanchard, 
 Daniel Pierce, John Tufton Mason, John Thomlinson, Mat- 
 thew Livermore, William Parker, Samuel Solley, and Clement 
 March. Their names all appear in the "List of the Proprietors 
 of North Monadnock" which we have reproduced. It is prob- 
 able that the half share of Mrs. Mary Moore (draught 12) was 
 the one credited to Samuel Moore. Such being the case, the sum 
 of the shares and half shares assigned to the twenty-one pro- 
 prietors amount to eighteen, which was the number that the 
 charter required to be reserved for the grantors. Each of the 
 forty grantees was to receive one share. Peter Powers was to 
 have three extra shares, and Matthew Thornton was to have 
 two extra shares. Forty-five shares were, therefore, assigned 
 to the forty grantees. One share was devoted to the first settled 
 minister, one to the support of the ministry, and one for the 
 support of school- work, and eighteen shares were to be assigned 
 to the Proprietors. All of these shares are sixty-six in number. 
 The township was to be divided into seventy-one shares. We 
 find by inspecting the list that the remaining five shares were 
 assigned to Josiah Brown, Benjamin Bellows, Eleazar Blanch- 
 ard, and Peter Powers, the last named receiving two of them. 
 The four men last named doubtless acquired by purchase the 
 five surplus shares. Benjamin Bellows and Eleazar Blanchard 
 were two of the grantees, and each had drawn a share, ac- 
 cording to the terms of the charter. Peter Powers was also a 
 grantee and empowered by the charter to draw four shares. 
 With these two additional shares that he purchased, he drew 
 in all six shares. The remaining surplus share was purchased 
 by Josiah Brown, whose name is the only one found upon the 
 list not included among the grantees and the Masonian 
 Proprietors. Of the S'iO town lots, seven on Monadnock were 
 not included in any shares. 
 
 In what manner the shares and lots were drawn is not known. 
 Owing to the different values of the lots, there were some blanks 
 in the lottery; and to some of the persons interested the specu- 
 lation must have proved worthless. 
 
SETTLEMENT OF DUBLIN 141 
 
 Dublin was then an unbroken forest. It is not probable that 
 the Indians ever made it a place of residence any longer than 
 they were occupied in hunting and fishing. A few broken In- 
 dian implements have been found in some parts of the town. 
 They were dropped, no doubt, as was common, during their 
 hunting excursions. 
 
 After the drawing of the lots, the owners must have been de- 
 sirous of ascertaining the value of their property. Living, as 
 most of them did, in the eastern part of the state, few of them 
 probably ever came, and made a personal examination of the 
 situation and equality of their lots. It may be presumed, how- 
 ever, that Matthew Thornton failed not to go himself to the 
 place where he encouraged his brother to settle. We may be- 
 lieve, too, that, previous to the year 1752, he had begun to 
 purchase shares and lots of the other share-holders. He must 
 have been well acquainted with many of the inhabitants of 
 Peterborough. The lot (number 1, range 6) on which his brother, 
 William Thornton, settled was chosen probably for its prox- 
 imity to Peterborough. As Judge Thornton owned, at one 
 time, more than a third part of all the land in Dublin, he would 
 of course take a deep interest in the settlement of the town and 
 the prosperity of its inhabitants. This he ever did. Some of 
 the early settlers were personally acquainted with him. Captain 
 Andrew Allison said that Judge Thornton used occasionally to 
 call at his father's house in Londonderry and spend an even- 
 ing. He was himself but a boy; but he well remembered the 
 delight with which he was wont to listen to Mr. Thornton's 
 conversation, for he was always telling stories and giving anec- 
 dotes such as a boy loved to hear. This corresponds with what 
 has been said of him in a brief sketch of his life: 
 
 "In private life he was one of the most companionable of men. 
 The young and the old were alike sharers in the agreeable versatility 
 of his powers, — in the inexhaustible stock of information which a 
 long and industrious life had accumulated. His memory was well 
 stored with a large fund of entertaining and instructive anecdotes, 
 which he could apply upon any incident, or subject of conversa- 
 tion." — N. H. Historical Collections, vol. I. 
 
 The location of William Thornton was on lot 1, range 6. 
 His house was a little to the south-east of, but quite near, the 
 former Isaac Appleton homestead, where the Hannafords were 
 living in 1916. A monument has been placed at the site of the

 in North Monadnock (Dublin).^ Of how many persons Mr. 
 Thornton's family consisted, or how h^n^' he remained on his 
 farm, is not known. That he abandoned his farm through fear 
 of the Canadian Indians has ever been a tradition. This is con- 
 firmed by the fact that his residence here was during the war 
 between the French and EngHsh, which resulted in the conquest 
 of Canada. It was the course ever pursued by the Indians, upon 
 the renewal of a war between the English and French, to com- 
 mence their attacks upon the frontiers of New Hampshire. In 
 August, 1754, they broke into the house of James Johnson at 
 No. 4 (Charlestown), in the morning, before any of the family 
 were awake, and took him, with his wife and three children, her 
 sister, and two men. The news of such an event, and other 
 events of a similar character, could not have been otherwise 
 than alarming to a family situated as Mr. Thornton's was. 
 When he left, he took all his movable property with him, ex- 
 cept a grindstone and a breaking-up hoe. Some years after 
 Mr. Appleton occupied the farm, he found the said grindstone, 
 while ploughing the field in which it had been buried. 
 
 By whom, and in what year, the next settlement was made, 
 there is no authentic account. It is known that some families 
 from Peterborough were residents here before the close of the 
 French war. Alexander Scott resided on the lot where Thad- 
 deus Morse lived, occupied in 1916 by the heirs of Mr. Dwight. 
 He is said to have kept a tavern, or to have furnished enter- 
 tainment for those persons, especially soldiers, who passed from 
 Peterborough to Keene. An old soldier stated that, in 1759, a 
 detachment of colonial troops passed through the town to join 
 the British army on the lakes. William Scott, son of Alexander, 
 lived on the farm (lot 13, range 6) long owned by John Gleason, 
 which George B. Leighton purchased and called Monandnock 
 No. 1. The Hon. John Scott, son of William, was born there (in

 a house that stood on or near the site of Mr. Leighton's summer 
 residence). He was heard to say, that he well remembered, 
 when quite young, playing with his brothers on the shore of 
 the lake, and that occasionally their play was pushing one an- 
 other from the fallen trees or slippery logs into the water. Rev. 
 Elijah Dunbar, in his description of Peterborough, says that 
 William Scott was a soldier in the war in Canada in 1758 and 
 1759. He was wounded and taken prisoner at the battle of 
 Bunker Hill, in 1775. He was carried to Halifax, whence he 
 escaped, and rejoined his regiment at New York. He received 
 a captain's commission in 1777, was a volunteer at the taking 
 of Burgoyne, and remained in the service of his country till the 
 close of the war. — N. H. Historical Collections, vol. I, 
 
 The other settlers from Peterborough were William McNee 
 (now changed to Nay), John Alexander, and James Taggart. 
 These were of Scotch-Irish descent, as was Henry Strongman 
 (family name changed to Strong), who settled on the farm 
 (lot 5, range 6) afterwards the home farm of Augustine Wood 
 and his son. Dr. Curtis A. Wood. William McNee lived on or 
 near the spot once owned by Cyrus Piper, about on the site 
 of the house occupied by John A. Upton in 1916. Mr. McNee 
 was, after moving back to Peterborough, a deacon or ruling 
 elder in the Presbyterian Church. His son Robert was the first 
 male child born in Dublin.^ James Taggart had a son named 
 William, and the residence of the family was the site of the 
 Corydon Jones place (lot 8, range 5), occupied in 1916 by Mrs. 
 Abby M. (Jones) Fisk (a daughter of Corydon Jones). Mr. 
 Taggart was a brother-in-law of William McNee, and was a 
 young man when he took this lot. He soon returned to Peter- 
 borough. He came back to Dublin in 1788, and settled upon lot 
 1, range 3, where Alexander Betz lived in 1916. An account of 
 the Scotts, McNees, and Taggarts will be found in the genealogi- 
 cal portion of Smith's History of Peterborough. John Alexander 
 settled on lot 7, range 5, on or near the site of the brick house 
 where J. W. Powers lived and died, owned and occupied in 1916 
 by Herman H. Priest. John Alexander was also said to have 
 Hved, at one time, on lot 7, range 7, afterwards owned by Luke 
 Richardson, and recently by Louis Cabot. Mr. Alexander was 
 somewhat noted for his extravagant and incredible stories, 
 which he narrated with assumed gravity, amusing himself with 
 the staring wonder of credulous listeners. He removed to the

 find the month and day. 
 
144 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 state of Vermont, where he died. We have no record of his 
 family. 
 
 The first permanent EngHsh settler in Dublin is believed to 
 have been Thomas Morse. He came from Sherborn, Mass., in 
 the autumn of 1762, and lived on the farm (lot 16, range 5) long 
 owned by his grandson Jesse Morse, now used for golf grounds 
 by summer residents, on which a small clubhouse stands, 
 in 1916, opposite the northern terminus of the road to Troy. 
 It cannot be doubted that Mr. Morse had been in the town, 
 cleared land, and prepared a house for his family, before the 
 year above named. It has been told that, on one of his jour- 
 neys to Dublin, previous to the removal of his family, his dog 
 was with him. This dog was afraid of thunder, and, when at 
 home, was in the habit, during a thunder-shower, of running 
 into the house and retreating beneath a bed. In the afternoon, 
 one day, while Mr. Morse and his dog, accompanied by John 
 Alexander, were in the woods, Mr. Alexander, for the purpose 
 of lighting his pipe, flashed some powder from the pan of his 
 gun. The dog, probably mistaking the flash for lightning, mani- 
 fested his usual signs of fear, and ran away from his master. 
 When the family at Sherborn arose the next morning, the 
 dog was at the door. A bed has often been recommended as a 
 safe place for reclining during a thunder-storm. Whether the 
 dog had an instinctive sagacity which led him to conclude 
 that under the bed was equally safe, may be questioned. We 
 have heard of other dogs, however, who pursued the same 
 course. 
 
 William Greenwood was the first settler on the farm (lot 8, 
 range 6) known as the Rufus Piper place, owned and occupied 
 by Dr. A. H. Childs in 1916. He was a carpenter. He was killed 
 by the falling of timbers at the raising of a barn, which was 
 recently standing on the Calvin Learned place, belonging to 
 the grounds of Hon. Franklin MacVeagh. 
 
 Samuel Twitchell (father of the celebrated Amos Twitchell, 
 M.D., of Keene) was heard to say, a few weeks before he died, 
 in 1820, that he was the third person who became a settler, and 
 remained permanently in Dublin. He settled on lot 7, range 1, 
 on what was afterwards the Jacob Gleason farm, belonging in 
 1916 to the estate of Louis Cabot. The first night of his being 
 in town, he slept by the side of a large rock. The rock is still in 
 its old place, and is noted for the circumstances above named. 
 Mr. Twitchell was then a young man without a family. His 
 father, Joseph Twitchell, of Sherborn, Mass., was an agent of 
 
SETTLEMENT OF DUBLIN 145 
 
 the Proprietors, or a part of them, for procuring settlers and for 
 the sale of lands. 
 
 After the close of the French war, there was a numerous 
 emigration from Massachusetts into New Hampshire. The 
 proprietors of the unsold lands in the southern townships offered 
 strong inducements to young men to purchase farms and re- 
 move thither. As an agent, Capt. Joseph Twitchell of Sherborn 
 was faithful and efficient; and, through his instrumentality, 
 many settlers bought land in Dublin, and became perma- 
 nent residents. Most of his children — five sons and three 
 daughters — became at length inhabitants of Dublin. He took 
 frequent journeys to Portsmouth; and, when he visited his 
 children, he came sometimes with an ox-cart, loaded with pro- 
 visions, furniture, and such articles as new settlers could not 
 procure at home. 
 
 With regard to the precise times at which many of the first 
 settlers came to Dublin, there is no definite information. Some 
 of them came up from Sherborn, began to clear land, worked 
 on the roads, and built log-cabins, before they settled perma- 
 nently. Among the papers left by Eli Morse, there are lists of 
 persons who worked on the roads in North Monadnock No. 3, 
 The following is a copy of one that contains a list for three 
 successive years : — 
 
 1760. John Alexander, thirteen days' work. 
 
 1761. John Alexander, eight days' work. 
 William McNee, six days' work. 
 James Taggart, one day and a half. 
 
 1762. John Alexander, five days' work. 
 William McNee, two days and one half. 
 James Taggart, two days and one half. 
 William Taggart, one day at the highway. 
 Henry Strongman, four days' work. 
 Samuel Twitchell, three days and one half. 
 Levi Partridge, two days' work. 
 William Greenwood, six days' work. 
 
 Joseph Twitchell, Jun., two days and a half work. 
 
 A list of the persons who worked on the roads in 1763 has not 
 been found, but for the years 1764 and 1765 is as follows: — 
 
 Nathaniel Bartlett Henry Strongman 
 
 Benjamin Mason Thomas Morse 
 
 Moses Adams Moses Johnson 
 
 Samuel Twitchell Micah Morse 
 
 Joseph Twitchell, Jr. Joshua Leland

 How many of the above-named persons were actually settled 
 in town at the time they worked on the roads, is not known. 
 Thomas Morrison and Joshua Leland did not become perma- 
 nent settlers. In the list of 1766 are the following additional 
 names: Caleb Greenwood, Joseph Adams, Samuel Ames 
 (Eames.^), Jr., and Silas Stone. In the list of 1767 are William 
 Beal, John Wight, John Muzzey, Reuben Morse, David Morse, 
 and Thaddeus Mason. In the list of 1768 are Joel Wight, Elea- 
 zer Twitchell, and Ezra Twitchell. In 1769, only three new 
 names were added, — Bat (Bartholomew) Goyer, Isaac Mason, 
 and Moses Mason. The whole number of persons taxed for 
 roads, this year, was forty-five. As in former years, a few were 
 non-residents. In the year 1770, we find the names of William 
 Rider, Elias Knowlton, and Jonathan Knowlton; and, in 1771, 
 the number of tax-payers for a county rate was fifty-five. The 
 names added, this year, were Asa Norcross, Caleb Hill, Simeon 
 Johnson, John Ranstead, David Johnson, Daniel Wood, Rufus 
 Huntley, Nathaniel Bates, Benoni Death, Joseph Drury, John 
 Swan, and Joseph Turner. 
 
 In the year 1764, Eli Morse was chosen clerk of the proprie- 
 tors; ^ and the brief records which he kept from that date till 
 1773 have been preserved. From 1773 to 1783, no meetings 
 appear to have been held. In 1783, the proprietors met, and in 
 1784. The last meeting was in 1785. Joseph Blanchard of Dun- 
 stable (now Nashua) was clerk till Mr. Morse was chosen; 
 but of his records, little, known to us, remains. Some of the 
 transactions of the proprietors are worthy of notice, as show ing 
 what they deemed most important to be done in those early 
 years of the settlement. We shall give such extracts from the 
 records of Deacon Morse as seem to us most interesting : — 
 
 "At a meeting of the proprietors of North Monadnock Township, 
 held at the house of William Greenwood in said township, on Tues- 
 day, Sept. 11, 1764, chose Robert Boyes, Esq., moderator. Then 
 chose Eli Morse proprietor's clerk; then chose Moses Adams to join

SETTLEMENT OF DUBLIN 147 
 
 with the former committee chosen to build the bridges over the Mill 
 Brook, and the brook by Mr. Thomas Morse's, in the room of Mr. 
 Samuel Allison. Then voted that Wm. McNee be added to the com- 
 mittee chosen to repair the main road through the town, in the room 
 of Mr. Joseph Twitchell; which road is to be repaired as soon as pos- 
 sible. Then voted that six hundred pounds, old tenor, be raised on 
 the rights of this propriety, subject to the payment of taxes, and 
 collected by Thomas Morse, who is hereby impowered to receive the 
 same, and, in case of any delinquency of payment by any of the owners 
 in said township, as aforesaid, for Matthew Thornton and Joseph 
 Blanchard, Esq., and Mr. Thomas Morse, or the major part of them, 
 to sell so much of such delinquents' interest in said town as will be 
 sufficient to pay the tax and incidental charges; and that four hun- 
 dred pounds of said money be laid out on the main road and the 
 bridges aforesaid; and the remainder be given for the encouragement 
 of the person who shall build a saw-mill in said town. Then chose 
 Justice Boyes, Joseph Blanchard, and William Wallace, to fix on 
 the place where the meetinghouse shall stand; who accordingly pro- 
 ceeded on said business immediately, with a number of the proprie- 
 tors, and viewed the place for the meetinghouse to stand, and fixed 
 the same, by marking a tree and cutting down several small trees, 
 near the east line of the eleventh lot in the sixth range, where the 
 land is to be set off for that purpose, as also for a burying-place and a 
 training-field. Then voted that the work that is to be done on the 
 road and bridges aforesaid be done by the tenth day of November 
 next. Then voted that the committee for roads lay out a road from 
 the main road a little to the east of John Alexander's lot, where he 
 lives, southardly, so as to accommodate Caleb Greenwood and 
 Nathaniel Bartlett, and open the same so as people can pass." 
 
 The meeting of the proprietors for the year 1765 was held at 
 the house of Thomas Morse, June 4th; Joseph Twitchell, mod- 
 erator. At this meeting, accounts were presented and accepted, 
 and "ten pounds, old tenor, assessed on each right, to be laid 
 out on the roads in said township, including the two hundred 
 pounds that hath been laid out more than hath been granted." 
 
 "May 14, 1766. — ^ At a meeting of the proprietors of Monadnock 
 No. 3, held at the house of Mr. Thomas Morse, in said township, — 
 chose Thomas Morse moderator. Then voted four dollars to be raised 
 on each right for repairing roads in said township. . . . Then voted 
 one dollar on each right to hire preaching in said township. Then 
 voted one dollar on each right for encouragement of Eli Morse, for 
 building a grist-mill on the stream near his house [the outlet brook 
 of the lake, near the site of the present mill near the residence of the 
 late Mr. D wight], provided he shall get said mill completed in a 
 year and a half from this time. . . . Granted a road from Ivory

 Perry's place northwardly to the main road [probably the same 
 substantially as the one now travelled from Mr. Garfield's directly 
 north to the main road] ; also granted a road from Jonas Fisk's house, 
 leading to the middle of the town, where the committee shall think 
 best. Chose Wni. Greenwood, Eli Morse, and Wm. Scott for a com- 
 mittee to measure off the ten acres for the meetinghouse &c., and to 
 make bounds for the same. Also chose Wm. Greenwood to provide 
 a preacher for two or three sabbaths, as soon as may be. 
 
 Thomas Morse, Moderator.'' 
 
 "At a meeting of the proprietors of Monadnock No. 3, in the prov- 
 ince of New Hampshire, warned by Reuben Kidder, Esq., Justice 
 of Peace, in said province, according to law, and assembled on the 
 27th day of May, 1767, Reuben Kidder, Esq., was chosen moderator 
 to regulate said meeting. 
 
 "Attest: Eli Morse, Proprietors' Clerk." 
 
 "Then voted to build a meetinghouse, fifty feet long and thirty- 
 eight feet wide, and proportionable as to the height. Then voted to 
 choose a committee to take care and effect the work; and chose 
 Moses Adams, Henry Strongman, and William Greenwood for said 
 committee. Then voted to raise money to build said meetinghouse. 
 Then voted to raise four dollars by tax on each right. Then voted to 
 confirm all former votes, excepting the vote to raise money to pay 
 for preaching. Then voted that the dollar granted and taxed to hire 
 preaching be for to pay for clearing the meetinghouse land, and other 
 necessary charges that have or may arise. Then voted that the pro- 
 prietors' meetings be notified and warned by their clerk, when there 
 is need, and application made to him by a sufficient number of said 
 proprietors, by posting up a notification at some public place at 
 Londonderry, Dunstable, and Dublin. Then chose Eli Morse to col- 
 lect the above taxes; also chose the former committee to sell the 
 delinquents' land; also voted that the committee for building the 
 meetinghouse be a committee to see to laying out the money granted 
 to clear the meetinghouse land. Voted to choose a committee to con- 
 sult with Middletown committee and lay out a road to Middletown 
 [Jaffrey, which was first called Middle Monadnock or Middletown]; 
 and chose Samuel Twitchell, Joseph Twitchell, and ^Yilliam McNee 
 for said committee. Then voted that the committee chosen to lay 
 out roads lay out a road or roads to accommodate Moses Johnson 
 and William Taggart to come to the great road. Then voted Doctor 
 Thornton and Reuben Kidder be employed to apply to the lord 
 proprietors [the IVIasonian Proprietors] to have our charter ^ length- 
 ened to June, 1768. All passed in the affirmative. 
 
 Reuben Kidder, Moderator."

 "At a meeting of the proprietors of North Monadnock No. 3, 
 held at Joseph Greenwood's, in said township, on Thursday, the 
 22d day of December, 1768, — chose Thomas Morse moderator. . . . 
 Granted a road from John Wight's to John INIuzzey's; also a road from 
 Moses Adams's to William Beals's; also from that road to No. 6 line 
 [No. 6 was Packersfield, now Nelson]; also granted a road from Caleb 
 Greenwood's to Samuel Twitchell's mill; also granted a road from 
 the road near Samuel Twitchell's to Middle Town line [Middle Town 
 became Jaffrey]. Then tried a vote to see if the proprietors would 
 reconsider the vote, passed at the last meeting, relating to the dimen- 
 sions of the meetinghouse; passed in the negative. Also voted to build 
 said meetinghouse at the former dimensions. Then voted to raise three 
 dollars on each right to be laid out towards building the meetinghouse. 
 Chose Eli Morse to collect the same. Then adjourned to the 16th 
 day of January next." 
 
 If the reader should desire to ascertain the location of the 
 ancient roads to which reference is made in the old records, the 
 names of persons here mentioned should be sought in the table 
 of "The Occupants of Lots," to be found later in this work, 
 from which may be determined, in most cases, the sites of 
 homes of the early inhabitants. Help is also frequently fur- 
 nished by the genealogical tables in the second part of this 
 history. 
 
 The old records continue as follows : — 
 
 "Jan. 16, 1769, met by adjournment. Then voted a road to be laid 
 out from Isaac Bond's house to the road laid out to Ivory Perry's lot; 
 also accepted Thomas Morse's account of two pound eight shillings 
 for two journeys to Merrimack and one journey to Esq. Kidder's, 
 and cash paid for notifying meetings, &c. ; also voted Eli Morse fifteen 
 shillings, cash paid to Esq. Kidder, and going to Londonderry to 
 notify a meeting. Adjourned to the 13th of March next. Then met, 
 and granted a road from Benjamin Learned's lot to the road lead- 
 ing from Samuel Twitchell's to the middle of the town; also accepted 
 the surveyor's accounts then brought in.

 The next meeting of the proprietors was held at the house of 
 Thomas Morse, October 18, 1769; Moses Adams, moderator. 
 After accepting surveyors' accounts, "which were then and 
 before brought in," Eli Morse, Moses Adams, and Joseph 
 Tw^itchell, were chosen a committee to make bounds to the main 
 road to the width of three rods, and "to lay out or alter any 
 road as shall be for the best of said township."

 "At a meeting of the proprietors of Monadnock No. 3, held at the 
 house of WiUiam Greenwood, January 23, 1770, chose Thomas Morse 
 moderator. Then voted to raise six dollars by tax on each right to 
 repair the roads in said township. Then voted to lay out one half of 
 the money on the main road, and forty-five dollars to be laid out 
 south of the main road, and the other hundred and five to pay the 
 arrearages already worked out, and to repair the roads north of the 
 main road. Then chose Levi Partridge, Eli iVIorse, and Asa Norcross, 
 for the north side; and chose Joseph Twitchell for the south side." 
 
 "Feb. 14, 1771. — The proprietors of Monadnock No. 3, met at 
 the house of Eli Morse, chose William Greenwood moderator. Then 
 granted five dollars on each right to carry on the building of the meet- 
 inghouse in said town. Then chose Joseph Greenwood to collect the 
 above grant. Then chose Eli Morse, Joseph Twitchell, and Levi 
 Partridge assessors for said proprietry; ^ also chose Eli Morse for 
 treasurer. Then chose Moses Adams, William Greenwood, and Eli 
 Morse for a committee to sell the delinquent proprietors' land to pay 
 their taxes." 
 
 "At a meeting of the proprietors of Monadnock No. 3, assembled 
 at the meetinghouse in said town on Thursday, the 8th day of April, 
 1773, chose Mr. Thomas Morse moderator to regulate said meeting. 
 Then chose John Muzzey, Eli Morse, and Benjamin Mason a com- 
 mittee to receive and examine the accounts brought against the pro- 
 prietry. Then voted to not raise any more money at present for the 
 meetinghouse. Then chose William Greenwood, Henry Strongman, 
 and Moses Adams to plan out the pew-ground in the meetinghouse. 
 Then voted that this meeting be adjourned to the 10th day of June 
 next. Then to receive the report of the committee that is chosen to 
 receive and examine the accounts that are outstanding against the 
 proprietry, and to receive from the committee the plan of the pews 
 that are to be builded in the meetinghouse." 
 
 "June y^ 10th, 1773, met by adjournment. Then voted to accept 
 the plan of the pews made by the committee chosen for that purpose. 
 Then adjourned to the first Monday in July next; but never met." 
 
 There is no record of any meeting of the proprietors till that 
 inserted below. The town was incorporated, and the interest 
 of the proprietors did not require meetings as in former days. 
 Many of the lots, however, at this date, had not been purchased 
 by actual settlers. The meetinghouse was still owned by the 
 proprietors; and the occasion of calling the following meeting 
 was, no doubt, for the purpose of offering the meetinghouse to 
 the town. No other business appears to have been transacted 
 at that time, nor at any meeting afterwards.

 "Then voted to give the meetinghouse to the town as their prop-

 Several other meetings were held; but no votes were passed 
 except a vote to adjourn. The last meeting was held at the

 Wednesday in May, "to meet at the meetinghouse at two 
 o'clock, afternoon." There is no further record of the doings 
 of the proprietors of Monadnock No. 3 (Dublin). 
 
 We have found in the records of the Masonian Proprietors, 
 a paper which Thomas Morse appears to have prepared at 
 their request, being: "an Exact account of those Delinquents 
 that had not Done their Duty in Mason's Pattern and in Dub- 
 lin in Peculiar." For which work, Mr. Morse received £4: 10'.

152 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 An examination of the preceding list reveals the fact that 
 these persons were really not delinquents, with a possible excep- 
 tion. It was, in fact, a list of the settlers, with the number of 
 acres improved by each, from which the Masonian Proprietors 
 could judge for themselves, to what extent the grantees had 
 complied with the conditions of the grant. The conditions 
 were that on each of the shares specified three acres of land, 
 at least, should be cleared and improved within four years, a 
 cabin erected within six months after that, and two additional 
 acres a year cleared, for the next three years. This would call 
 for the clearing of nine acres in seven years. It will be seen, by 
 an examination of the list, that several settlers had improved 
 just the required nine acres. Others had cleared considerably 
 more than that. Only one settler appears on the list who had 
 improved less than nine acres. This was Ezra Twitchell, who 
 had cleared one acre. He may have recently come into the set- 
 tlement, or there may have been some other sufficient reason 
 for his not having done more upon his lot. We find no record 
 that any settler was ejected for failure to do his "duty," as it 
 was called. 
 
 Thomas Morse prepared that list in 1774. We find, in the 
 records of the Masonian Proprietors, that, at a meeting held 
 on January 15, 1783, a communication was presented from Mr. 
 Morse, saying that he had complied with their request several 
 years previously, but had not received his pay. It was voted 
 to pay him the four pounds and ten shillings which he had 
 charged for his services. 
 
 It is a singular circumstance that, in 1914, at a time 165 years 
 removed from the grant of Monadnock No. 3 by the Masonian 
 Proprietors, at the instigation of the "Society for Protection 
 of New Hampshire Forests," a few of the lineal descendants of 
 the Masonian Proprietors claimed that certain lands on and 
 about Monadnock Mountain had reverted to them, in conse- 
 quence of a provision of the grant, because these lands on the 
 rocks, near the summit of the mountain, had never been al- 
 lotted to anybody, and they deeded the same to the society 
 aforenamed. Claimants of a portion of the territory thus deeded 
 did appear, however, and asserted their title to the lands 
 "through adverse possession by their predecessors." The 
 " Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests " caused 
 an injunction to be issued restraining the claimants from cut- 
 ting the valuable timber which was growing on the less elevated 
 portion of the land in question. The case was carried to the 
 
SETTLEMENT OF DUBLIN 153 
 
 October term of the Superior Court in Keene, in 1914. The 
 society to which we have referred was the plaintiff; the claim- 
 ants (Dow J. and Forrest L. Hart of Marlborough) were the 
 defendants. The finding of the court is expressed as follows: 
 "It is also found as a fact that the defendants entered into pos- 
 session of lot 18, range 1, except that part adjoining the Shaker 
 pasture . . . which they do not claim to own; and that they 
 have good title to the same, acquired through adverse posses- 
 sion by their predecessors, and it is, therefore, ordered that the 
 injunction heretofore issued in this case be dissolved, and that 
 the plaintiff's bill be dismissed." 
 
 That suit had reference to only a part of the property deeded 
 by the Masonian descendants. According to the deeds by 
 which the "Society for Protection of New Hampshire For- 
 ests" secured these tracts, they are "to maintain forever its 
 wild and primeval condition, where the forests and rocks shall 
 remain undisturbed in their wild state, and where birds and 
 game shall find natural refuge." The forests must remain un- 
 molested. No cottages, hotels, or public-recreation buildings 
 shall be erected without consent of the society; neither shall 
 any roads or highways be built without permission of the so- 
 ciety and under certain restrictions. It must be forever kept 
 open to the public, under such rules and regulations as may be 
 prescribed, and bivouacking and camping will be allowed, 
 under certain conditions. The whole tract thus purchased was 
 to be called the Masonian Monadnock Reservation. It was 
 obtained by five deeds, whose dates range from October 28, 
 1913, to January 28, 1914. 
 
 The report upon this purchase, made by Philip W. Ayers, 
 the State Forester of New Hampshire, in 1916, is here given, 
 in part. He begins by declaring that the deed is given by "the 
 descendants of the original proprietors of New Hampshire, 
 known as the Masonian Proprietors." This is inaccurate. 
 The original proprietors of New Hampshire were John Mason 
 and his lawful heirs. The "Masonian Proprietors" were a 
 syndicate of twelve men who, in 1746, purchased the claim, 
 whatever may have been its validity, of these Masonian heirs, 
 the whole of the claim being then held by John Tufton 
 Mason. It was certain descendants of the men composing 
 this syndicate, known as the "Masonian Proprietors," who 
 sold this tract, on and about Monadnock, to the "Society 
 for Protection of New Hampshire Forests." The report 
 of Mr. Ayers thus continues: 
 
154 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 *'A tract of 1,300 acres of land covering the highest parts 
 of Mount Monadnock was conveyed to the society in 1914. 
 This conveyance included twelve lots of one hundred acres 
 each, more or less, that were never granted to settlers, and 
 one lot that was granted but never occupied, and reverted, 
 therefore, to the Proprietors. 
 
 "The society is unable to substantiate a claim to more than 
 half of this land, for the reason that various areas have been 
 taken from time to time by different abutting owners, who, 
 using it for pasture purposes, appear to have held it twenty 
 years in undisturbed possession and to have established valid 
 title. In one test case of one hundred acres, the most of which 
 had not been cleared, except as the fierce fires in 1804 and 
 1820 had cleared it, the society brought suit in the state 
 Superior Court to recover and hold the land. Ten acres only 
 had been cleared and used for pasture, and the society under- 
 took to hold the remaining ninety acres. It particularly de- 
 sired to save the fine old spruce trees on this lot, dating from 
 1820, that were scattered along the Farmer [or old Darling] 
 Trail, which is the principal trail up Monadnock. 
 
 "Unfortunately the suit was lost. . . . The court decision 
 did, however, substantiate the validity of the Masonian claim, 
 and thus confirmed to the society its hold upon all the land 
 that had not been occupied and used for twenty years for 
 agricultural purposes, a little more than 650 acres, but the 
 exact boundaries have not been run. The expenses of this 
 suit were partly contributed by summer residents of Dublin, 
 through the Dublin Welfare Society, and summer residents of 
 Jaffrey. 
 
 "Six hundred fifty acres are thus held by the society. Of 
 this, five hundred acres are located in the town of Jaffrey, al- 
 though on the Dublin side of the mountain. One hundred 
 fifty acres are located in the town of Dublin, and cover the 
 long north-east shoulder of the mountain, including the whole 
 of the Pumpelly Trail. To those who do not know this trail 
 it may be described as one of the most beautiful in New Hamp- 
 shire. For a mile and a half, on the sky line, it winds among 
 the rocks and scrubby spruces, commanding noble prospects 
 on both sides all the way. By an exchange of quitclaim deeds 
 between the society and one of the abutting owners, an exact 
 boundary line is established, which further establishes the 
 society in the possession of this wild, unoccupied land on the 
 shoulder of the mountain. ... By the terms of deed . . . 
 
SETTLEMENT OF DUBLIN 155 
 
 the society agrees to cut no timber, at any time, upon the 
 Masonian Reservation, and to make no new trails, except 
 direct trails to the summit, when these are deemed necessary by 
 the officers of the society. It has full power to protect the 
 timber from fire, insects, and fungus disease, but any struc- 
 tures for these purposes are not to be placed on the sky line 
 where they will break the nature contour of the mountain. 
 
 "The 'Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests' 
 owns in Dublin lot 14, range 1; part of lot 15, range 1; and 
 a part of lot 14, range 2. Many of the other lots on the moun- 
 tain are owned by summer residents who are not likely to 
 destroy their natural beauty,

 1771. — Warnings out of Toavn. — Prices of 
 Sundry Commodities 
 
 1 REVious to the incorporation of Dublin, as stated in Mr. 
 Mason's address, there was a partial organization. This took 
 place, November 16, 1768; but, as it was not sufficient for all 
 the purposes of a town-body-politic, a formal charter was re- 
 quired, of which the following is a copy. The original charter, 
 with the autograph of Governor Wentworth, is still in existence, 
 though in a worn and somewhat mutilated condition.^

 they may be erected and incorporated into a Township, and en-

 within our said Province by Law have and enjoy. And it appearing 
 unto us to be conducive to the General good of our said Province, as 
 well as of the Inhabitants in particular, by maintaining good order 
 and encouraging the culture of the land, that the Same should be done;

 folds, yellowed with age, and otherwise injured, a part of the bottom of the paper 
 havinf,' been eaten by rats; but the penmanship, which was beautifully executed in 
 the old round hand, a splendid copy for the young people of today to follow, is 
 perfectly le,<^ible. At a recent town-meeting, the town very properly voted to have 
 it preserved by a known modern process. About the first of May, 191(), the history 
 committee received it back from the Emery Record Preserving Company of Taunton, 
 Mass., with a photograph of it for the new town history. It is arranged in a book 
 form of binding, in a cover about 9 by 15 inches, provided with a slip case, and 
 lettered in gilt on the outside. This most interesting and valuable document is now 
 permanently preserved, and may be seen at the town-clerk's office. 
 

INCORPORATION OF DUBLIN 157 
 
 Wentworth, Esquire, our Governor and Commander-in-Chief, and of 
 our Council of the same, have erected and ordained, and by these pres- 
 ents, for us, our Heirs and successors, do will and ordain that the

158 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Respecting the name of the town, the late Thaddeus Morse, 
 Senior, Esq., said that he heard, when a boy, a discussion with 
 regard to the subject; and that he distinctly remembered the 
 name Dublin was chosen, because the earliest settlers were 
 Scotch-Irish, and the capital of their native country was Dublin. 
 
 The whole number of voters in Dublin, in 1770, was only 
 twenty-three. A list of these voters, certified by Joseph Twitch- 
 ell and John Muzzey, two of the assessors of that year, contains 
 the following names : Levi Partridge, Thomas Morse, Eli Morse, 
 William Greenwood, Joseph Greenwood, Joseph Adams, Asa 
 Norcross, Henry Strongman, Silas Stone, Ivory Perry, Samuel 
 Twitchell, Moses Mason, Joel Wight, Joseph Twitchell, Eben- 
 ezer Twitchell, Reuben Morse, Daniel Morse, Benjamin Mason, 
 Moses Adams, John Muzzey, Eleazer Twitchell, Joshua Lea- 
 land, Edward West Perry. 
 
 The qualification for a voter at that period was "twenty 
 pounds estate, to one single rate, beside the poll." The tax 
 upon a poll was established by law at eighteen shillings. But, 
 by a temporary law, which was to be "in force for the space of 
 three years and no longer, from the 12th of April, 1770," — 
 "every person ratable for thirty shillings ratable estate, includ- 
 ing his poll, shall be deemed a legal voter, in all the affairs of 
 the town or parish where he dwells, except choosing representa- 
 tives." By this temporary law, the selectmen were required 
 "to make a perfect invoice of each person's polls and ratable 
 estate in eight columns, viz., one column for the amount of 
 each person's poll, one for the amount of each person's improved 
 lands, one for the amount of slaves, one for the amount of live 
 stock, one for real estate, one for stock at interest or in trade, 
 one for faculty, and one column for the sum total of what each 
 person is to be rated for as aforesaid." 
 
 The invoice for the year 1771, taken by Eli Morse, commis- 
 sioner of assessment, has been found. Under the heading of 
 slaves, and also of faculty, no person is assessed, — in the first 
 case, because no person owned a slave, and, in the second, be- 
 cause it was left to the discretion of the selectmen to tax the 
 faculty of a person or not. The wording of the law was, "Any 
 person's faculty may be estimated by the selectmen of each 
 town or parish at their discretion, not exceeding twenty pounds 
 ratable estate." Under the heading, stock at interest or in 
 trade, only one man, Henry Strongman, is assessed; and the 
 sum is four shillings. Omitting all the headings except the 
 eighth, or the sum total of each man's tax, we insert the names 
 
INCORPORATION OF DUBLIN 
 
 159 
 
 of the tax-payers of 1771. In the arrangement of names, in- 
 stead of adopting the order of the alphabet, the assessor appears 
 to have begun with the most westerly man on the great road, 
 then to have proceeded easterly, then westerly through the 
 south part of the town, and lastly from east to west on the north 
 side of the town.

 In the invoice from which the foregoing list of taxes is taken, 
 forty-six polls are reckoned, — Thomas Morse, William Green- 
 wood, Joseph Adams, and Moses Adams, each paying for two 
 polls. All males, eighteen years of age and upwards, were re- 
 quired at this time to pay a poll-tax. Those persons whose tax 
 is less than eighteen shillings were, most of them, probably non- 
 
160 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 residents, Caleb Hill, Isaac Bond, Joseph Morse, and Eleazer 
 Twitcliell, were taxed for lands and live stock; and the rest for 
 lands only. 
 
 We have copied this tax list exactly as it is found in the former 
 town history (on page 142). It is obvious that there are errors 
 in it. The "sum total" as given was most likely copied accu- 
 rately from the original manuscript. The actual sum of the 
 individual taxes as here given lacks twenty-one pence of the 
 stated "sum total." Probably the three pence in the tax of 
 Daniel Wood should have been six pence, as that is the number 
 given in every other tax where the pence are mentioned. It is 
 also probable that in copying the old manuscript of Mr. Morse, 
 three sixes in the pence column were mistaken for zeros. In 
 many manuscripts a six is easily mistaken for a zero. The 
 discrepancy is doubtless explained in this manner. Three more 
 pence in the Daniel W ood tax, with three more sixes in the pence 
 column, would give us the additional twenty-one pence needed 
 to make the actual sum square with the sum as given. 
 
 The new names in the invoice for 1772 are Thomas Green- 
 wood, Moses Pratt, Uriah Coller (Collier.^), John Bullard, 
 Timothy Adams, William Strongman, Gardner Town, Bar- 
 tholomew Goyer, and Samuel Johnson. 
 
 In the invoice of 1773, the new names are Thomas Alden, 
 Jabez Puffer, Caleb Stanford, Eli Greenwood, James Chamber- 
 lain, James Rollins, James Adams, Moses Greenwood, Silas 
 Stone, Jun., Ebenezer Hill, and Ithamar Johnson. 
 
 In 1774, the names added are Ezra Morse, Abel Twitchell, 
 Willard Hunt, Stephen Twitchell, Gershom Twitchell, Jun., 
 Abijah Twitchell, William Bedlow, Isaac Adams, and Capt. 
 Joseph Twitchell. 
 
 In 1775, the additional names are Richard Strongman, 
 Thomas Green, Richard Gilchrest, Josiah Stanford, Phinehas 
 Stanford, William Yeardley, and Nathaniel Belknap. 
 
 The invoice for 1776 has not been found; but in 1777 are the 
 following new names: John Morse, Joshua Greenwood, Edward 
 Cheney, Samuel Williams, Jabez Partridge, Oliver Wright, 
 William Blanchard, Jonathan Sawyer, Simeon Stickney, 
 Thomas Lewis, Dr. Burnap, and Daniel Hinds. 
 
 In 1778, we find the names added are Amos Emery, John 
 French, Edmund Taylor, Aaron Marshall, Ebenezer Cobb, 
 Samuel Stone, Israel Turner, Samuel Jones, John Farnum, 
 Joshua Farnum, John Stroud, Josiah Reed, Asa Pratt, Joshua 
 Stanford, Ward Eddy, James Cochran, Thomas Wakefield,

 Nathan Bixby, John Learned, John Foster, Silas Taylor, 
 Simeon Holt, and Rebecca Greenwood. 
 
 For the years succeeding 1778, no invoice has been found till 
 1793, when, for the first time, it was copied into the town clerk's 
 book of records. What we have taken, however, from the old 
 invoices in existence will serve to show the dates at which many 
 individuals first settled in Dublin, or became of sufficient age 
 to be taxed. 
 
 Another means of ascertaining the progress of the settle- 
 ments in Dublin are the dates of the warnings out of town. 
 We insert all that have been found, arranged according to the 
 order of years. Against many of the names is the date at which 
 the person or family came to town, or, more likely, the date on 
 which the warning was served. Sometimes the day of the 
 month, and sometimes the month only, is noted. Occasionally, 
 the name of the town from which they came is mentioned.

164 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The following names appear for the first time in the town- 
 records at the years annexed : — 
 
 Andrew AlUson 1781 Thomas Hardy 1785 
 
 Benjamin Smith 1785 Asa Pierce 1788 
 
 Asa Fairbanks 1786 Samuel Fisher 1787 
 
 James Mills 1781 John Stone 1787 
 
 From the date of incorporation to the commencement of the 
 Revolutionary war, the business of this town appears to have 
 been chiefly concerned with making and repairing roads, set- 
 tling a minister, and providing a house for pviblic worship. The 
 difficulties, which began soon after Mr. Farrar's settlement, 
 must have proved a severe trial to a people so recently estab- 
 lished on new lands; and the additional expense for councils 
 and various incidentals was a matter of no small consideration. 
 Much labor had been bestowed upon the ministerial land, and 
 its value was thereby increased. One right, or three lots, be- 
 longed to the first minister ; and it was purchased of him by the 
 town, and afterwards became a source of income. The second 
 minister was settled in the midst of the Revolution ; and to raise 
 money for paying soldiers, besides paying the minister's salary, 
 and all ordinary expenses, was no easy task for the managers 
 of their municipal affairs. In consequence of the various prices 
 of labor, and of the articles for subsistence and clothing, a 
 committee was chosen to establish and limit prices. As a matter 
 that may be interesting to some persons, we insert the report 
 of the said committee : — 
 
 "Dublin, July 10, 1777. — We, the subscribers, being appointed 
 by the town of Dublin to state the prices of sundry commodities,

CHAPTER VI 
 
 DUBLIX IN THE REVOLUTION AND THE LaTER WaRS 
 
 1 HE main points of interest, with regard to the part taken 
 by the people of Dubhn in the War of the Revolution, are 
 noticed by Mr. Mason in the address which constitutes the 
 first chapter of this work. Since the former History of Dublin 
 was published, a vast amount of material pertaining to the 
 Revolution has been dug from the national and state archives 
 and published for the information of the public. By the aid of 
 these records, we are enabled to determine more fully the part 
 taken by Dublin in that momentous struggle, and to furnish 
 a list of Revolutionary soldiers from Dublin containing more 
 than twice as many names as appear in the list printed in the 
 former history. 
 
 The first indication which the clerk's records give that the 
 town anticipated war, and meant to be prepared for it, is a 
 vote passed, Nov. 28, 1774: "Granted twelve pounds to pro- 
 vide a town-stock of ammunition." It was not until the fol- 
 lowing spring that we find a record of further public action by 
 the town. To understand that action, the following historical 
 facts should be stated. 
 
 The "First Continental Congress," which convened at Phila- 
 delphia, September 5, 1774, composed of delegates from 
 twelve of the "thirteen original colonies," proposed and adopted 
 what they called an'' Association,'' whose nature may be learned 
 from the following extracts (the document being too long to 
 be copied in full) : 
 
 Continental Congress. 
 
 Thursday, October 20, 1774. 
 
 The x\ssociation being copied, was read and signed at the table, 
 and is as follows: 
 
 We, his Majesty's most loyal subjects, the Delegates of the several 
 Colonies of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, Con- 
 necticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, the three Lower 
 Counties of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, on Delaware, Maryland, 
 Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, deputed to represent 
 them in a Continental Congress, held in the City of Philadelphia, on 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 167 
 
 the fifth day of September, 1774, avowing our allegiance to his Maj- 
 esty; our affection and regard for our fellow-subjects in Great Britain 
 and elsewhere; affected with the deepest anxiety and most alarming 
 apprehension at those grievances and distresses with which his 
 Majesty's American subjects are oppressed; and having taken under 
 our most serious deliberation the state of the whole continent, find 
 that the present unhappy situation of our affairs is occasioned by a 
 ruinous system of Colony Administration adopted by the British 
 Ministry about the year 1763, evidently calculated for enslaving 
 these Colonies, and with them, the British Empire. In prosecution of 
 which system, various acts of Parliament have been passed for rais- 
 ing a Revenue in America, for depriving the American subjects, in 
 many instances, of the Constitutional Trial by Jury, exposing their 
 lives to danger by directing a new and illegal trial beyond the seas 
 for crimes alleged to have been committed in America; and in prose- 
 cution of the same system, several late, civil, and oppressive Acts 
 have been passed respecting the Town of Boston and the Massachu- 
 setts Bay, and also an act for extending the Province of Quebec, so 
 as to border on the Western Frontiers of these Colonies, establishing 
 an arbitrary Government therein, and discouraging the settlement 
 of British subjects in that wide extended country; thus by the influ- 
 ence of civil principles and ancient prejudices to dispose the inhab- 
 itants to act with hostility against the free Protestant Colonies, 
 whenever a wicked ministry shall choose so to direct them. 
 
 To obtain redress of these Grievances, which threaten destruction 
 to the Lives, Liberty, and Property of his Majesty's subjects in North 
 America, we are of opinion that a Non-Importation, Non-Consump- 
 tion, and Non-Exportation Agreement, faithfully adhered to, will 
 prove the most speedy, effectual and peaceable measure; and, there- 
 fore, we do, for ourselves, and the inhabitants of the several Colonies 
 whom we represent, firmly agree and associate, under the sacred ties 
 of Virtue, Honour, and love of our Country as follows : 
 
 1. That from and after the first day of December next, we will not 
 import into British America from Great Britain or Ireland, any goods, 
 wares, or merchandise, whatsoever, &c. 
 
 2. That we will neither import nor purchase any Slave imported 
 after the first day of December next; after which time we will wholly 
 discontinue the Slave Trade, and will neither be concerned in it our- 
 selves, nor will we hire our vessels, nor sell our Commodities or Manu- 
 factures to those who are concerned in it. 
 
 3. As a Non-Consumption Agreement, strictly adhered to, will be 
 an effective security for the observation of the Non-Importation, 
 we, as above, solemnly agree and associate, that from this day we 
 wall not purchase or use any Tea imported on account of the East 
 India Company, or any on which a duty hath been or shall be paid; 
 and from and after the first day of March next, we will not purchase 
 or use any East India Tea whatsoever; nor mil we, nor shall any 
 
1G8 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 person for or under us, purchase or use any of those goods, Wares, 
 or Merchandises, Ave have agreed not to import, &c. 
 
 4. The earnest desire we have not to injure our fellow-subjects in 
 Great Britain, Ireland, or the West Indies, induces us to suspend a 
 Non-Exportation until the tenth day of September, 1775, at which 
 time, if the said Acts and parts of Acts of the British Parliament 
 herein after mentioned, are not repealed, we \^-\\\ not, directly or in- 
 dividually, export any ISIerchandise or Commodity whatsoever to 
 Great Britain, Ireland, or the West Indies, except Rice to Europe. 
 
 5. Such as are Merchants and use the British and Irish trade, will 
 give orders as soon as possible to their Factors, Agents, and Corre- 
 spondents, in Great Britain and Ireland, not to ship any goods to 
 them, on any pretence whatsoever, as they cannot be received in 
 America, &c. 
 
 6. That such as are Owners of vessels will give positive orders to 
 their Captains, or Masters, not to receive on board their vessels any 
 goods prohibited by the said Non-Importation Agreement, on pain 
 of immediate dismission from their service. 
 
 7. We will use our utmost endeavors to improve the breed of sheep, 
 and increase their number to the greatest extent, &c. 
 
 8. That we will, in our several stations, encourage Frugality, Econ- 
 omy, and Industry, and promote Agriculture, Arts, and the Manufac- 
 tures of this Country, especially that of wool, and will discountenance 
 and discourage every species of extravagance, and dissipation, espe- 
 cially all horse-racing, and all kinds of gaming, cock-fighting, exhibi- 
 tions of plays, shows, and other expensive diversions and entertain- 
 ments; and on the death of any relation, or friend, none of us, or any 
 of our families, vAW go into any further mourning dress than a black 
 crape or ribbon on the arm, or hat for gentlemen, and a black ribbon 
 and necklace for ladies, and we will discontinue the giving of gloves 
 and scarfs at funerals. 
 
 9. That such as are venders of Goods or Merchandise, will not take 
 advantage of the scarcity of Goods that may be occasioned by this 
 Association, but will sell the same at the rates we have been respec- 
 tively accustomed to do for twelve months last past, &c. 
 
 10. In case any Merchant, Trader, or other person, shall import 
 any goods or Merchandise, after the first day of December, and be- 
 fore the first day of February next, the same ought forthwnth, at the 
 election of the owner, to be reshipped or delivered up to the Commit- 
 tee of the County or Town wherein they shall be imported, &c. 
 
 11. That a Committee be chosen in every County, City, and Town 
 by those who are qualified to vote for Representatives in the Legis- 
 lature, whose business it shall be attentively to observe the conduct 
 of all persons touching this Association; and when it shall be made 
 to appear to the satisfaction of a majority of any such Committee, that 
 any person wnthin the limits of their appointment has violated this 
 Association, that such majority do forthwith cause the truth of the 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 169 
 
 case to be published in the Gazette, to the end that all such foes to 
 the rights of British America may be publickly known, and univer- 
 sally contemned as the enemies of American Liberty; and thence- 
 forth we respectively will break off all dealings with him or her. 
 
 12. That the Committee of Correspondence, in the respective Col- 
 onies, do frequently inspect the Entries of their Custom House, &c. 
 
 13. That all Manufactures of this country be sold at reasonable 
 prices, so as no undue advantage be taken of a future scarcity of 
 Goods. 
 
 14. xA.nd we do further agree and resolve that we will have no Trade, 
 Commerce, Dealings, or Intercourse whatsoever with any Colony or 
 Province in North America which shall not accede to, or which shall 
 hereafter violate this Association, but will hold them as unworthy of 
 the rights of Freemen, and as inimical to the liberties of this country. 
 
 And we do solemnly bind ourselves and our constituents, under 
 the ties aforesaid, to adhere to this dissociation until such parts of the 
 several Acts of Parliament passed since the close of the last war [the 
 old French War], as impose or continue Duties on Tea, Wine, Mo- 
 lasses, Syrup, Fancies,^ Coffee, Sugar, Pimento, Indigo, Foreign 
 Paper, Glass, and Painters' Colours, imported into America, and 
 extend the powers of the Admiralty Courts beyond their ancient lim- 
 its, deprive the American subjects of Trial by Jury, authorize the 
 Judges' certificate to idemnify the prosecutor for damages that he 
 might otherwise be liable to from a trial by his peers, require oppres- 
 sive security from a claimant of Ships of Goods seized, before he shall 
 be allowed to defend his property, are repealed — and until that 
 part of the Act of the 12th George III., ch. 24, entitled "An Act for 
 the better securing his Majesty's Dockyards, Magazines, Ships, Am- 
 munition, and Stores " by which any person charged with committing 
 any of the offences therein described, in America, may be tried in any 
 Shire or County within the Realm, is repealed — and until the four 
 Acts, passed in the last session of Parliament, viz. : that for stopping 
 the Port and blocking up the Harbour of Boston, that for altering the 
 Charter and Government of the Massachusetts Bay — and that 
 which is entitled An Act for the better Administration of Justice, &c., 
 and that for extending the limits of Quebec, &c., are repealed. And 
 we recommend it to the Provincial Conventions, and to the Commit- 
 tees in the respective Colonies, to establish such farther Regulations 
 as they may think proper for carrying into execution this Association. 
 
 The foregoing Association being determined upon by the Congress, 
 was ordered to be subscribed by the several Members thereof; and 
 thereupon, we have hereunto set our respective names accordingly.

170 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The Second Provincial Congress of New Hampshire, held at 
 Exeter, January 25, 1775, issued an address, which was sent 
 to every town, recommending the kind of conduct which it was 
 desirable that all citizens should observe, and advising a com- 
 pliance with the wishes of the Continental Congress, as ex- 
 pressed in the preceding "Association." 
 
 In obedience to the request of the Continental Congress, ex- 
 pressed in clauses 10 and 11 of the "sacred ties" of the Asso- 
 ciation, and as recommended in the address issued to the 
 citizens by the Second Provincial Congress of New Hamp- 
 shire, before mentioned, the town of Dublin, on March 5, 1775, 
 chose a "Committee of Inspection," "to see that the resolves 
 of the Continental Congress be observed." The committee 
 chosen consisted of William Greenwood, Samuel Twitchell, 
 Joseph Greenwood, John Swan, and Benjamin Mason. 
 At an adjourned meeting, on May 31, Thaddeus Mason 
 and James Chamberlain were added to the above-named 
 committee. 
 
 We are not informed that this committee ever had any occa- 
 sion to exercise its functions, except, perhaps, a watchful over- 
 sight of the conduct of the citizens with respect to their attitude 
 towards the British government. From the fact that every man 
 in town is represented to have signed, at a later date, w^hat 
 was called the Association Test, it may be presumed that 
 all the inhabitants of Dublin were loyal to the cause of the 
 colonies. 
 
 The editor of the former History of Dublin confused the 
 duties of the committee named above with those of the select- 
 men, who, in the following year, obtained the signatures to 
 the Association Test. 
 
 The Second Continental Congress, in session at Philadelphia, 
 on March 14, 1776, passed the following resolution: 
 
 "Resolved, That it be recommended to the Several Assemblies, 
 Conventions, and Councils, or Committees of Safety of the United 
 Colonies, immediateUj to cause all persons to be disarmed, within 
 their Respective Colonies, who are notoriously disaffected to the cause 
 of America, or who have not associated, and refuse to associate, to 
 defend by x\rms, the United Colonies, against the Hostile attempts 
 of the British Fleets and Armies." 
 
 In obedience to this resolution of Congress, the Colony of 
 New Hampshire issued to the selectmen of the various towns 
 the following circular: 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 171 
 
 " Colony of New Hampshire 
 
 "IN COMMITTEE OF SAFETY, 
 
 April 12, 1786. 
 
 "In order to carry the underwritten Resolve [the preceding reso- 
 lution] of the Hon'ble Continental Congress into Execution, you are 
 requested to desire all Males above Twenty one years of age (Luna- 
 ticks, Idiots, and Negroes excepted) to sign to the Declaration on 
 this Paper; and when so done, to make Return thereof, together with 
 the Name or Names of all who shall refuse to sign the same, to the 
 General Assembly or Committee of Safety of this Colony. 
 
 M. Weare, Chairman." 
 
 The "Declaration on this paper" was the following: 
 
 "In Consequence of the above Resolution of the Hon. Continental 
 Congress, and to show our Determination in joining our American 
 Brethren, in defending the Lives, Liberties, and Properties of the In- 
 habitants of the United Colonies: 
 
 "We, the subscribers, do hereby solemnly engage, and 
 promise, that we will, to the utmost of our power, at the 
 risque of our lives and fortunes, with arms, oppose the hos- 
 tile proceedings of the british fleets and armies against the 
 United American Colonies." 
 
 This important and extraordinary paper, which the men of 
 New Hampshire of twenty-one years of age or upwards were 
 asked to sign, was known as the Association Test, because 
 it was a sequel of the Association formed at Philadelphia by 
 the First Continental Congress, and because it was a Test of 
 the loyalty of the citizens to the cause of the United American 
 Colonies. It was signed by 8,199 persons in New Hampshire. 
 The lists returned to the General Assembly reveal the names 
 of 773 persons who refused to sign it. 
 
 This pledge has been called "the Declaration of Independ- 
 ence of New Hampshire." It was a "similar act to that of the 
 Patriots who signed the National Declaration on the 4th of 
 July, 1776. It preceded that event, and seems to have been a 
 sanction or an encouragement to those who contemplated it. 
 It was a bold and hazardous step in subjects thus to resist the 
 authority of one of the most powerful sovereigns in the world. 
 Had the cause in which these men pledged their lives and for- 
 tunes failed, 'it would have subjected every individual who 
 
172 
 
 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 signed it to the pains and penalties of treason; to a cruel and 
 ignominious death!'" 
 
 The copy of the Declaration sent to Dublin was returned 
 with the following endorsement: — 
 
 "In Compliance with your Request we have Desired all the males 
 in our town above twenty one years of age to sign to the Declara- 
 tion oil this Paper; which they all Did without any Dispute.

 Some of the misspellings are obvious. Twitchel should be 
 Twitchell. Joseph Adms should be Joseph Adams. In the 
 place of Isaac Adams, the former History of Dublin (page 149) 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 173 
 
 has Isaac Morse. The only Isaac Morse whom we can discover 
 to have been Hving in DubHn at that time was Isaac, the son 
 of EH Morse, who, according to the records would have been 
 only sixteen years of age. He may have manifested his zeal by 
 signing the paper, although about five years under the age of 
 those whose signatures were required. Among the names 
 added to the tax-list in 1774 was that of Isaac Adams, and he 
 is probably the person who signed the declaration, instead of 
 Isaac Morse, as stated in the former history. James Chamblen 
 should, obviously, be James Chamberlain. Yardly was later 
 spelled Yardley. John Wright is a misreading for John Wight, 
 who was a citizen of Dublin at that time. There was a John 
 Wright who moved to Dublin twelve years later. Lube Puffer 
 is a misreading for Jabez Puffer, and Oliver Right is a mis- 
 spelling of Oliver Wright. 
 
 At the annual town meeting in 1777, the town appropriated 
 eighteen pounds for the purchase of ammunition. This appears 
 to be the only public action of the town, having relation to the 
 war, which has not been noticed by Mr. Mason in the Centen- 
 nial Address, which forms the first Chapter of this work. To 
 save repetition, we refer readers to that address for the action 
 taken by the town, from time to time, upon specific matters 
 pertaining to the soldiers and to the war. 
 
 It has been found very difficult to obtain a correct list of the 
 soldiers of the Revolution furnished by Dublin. An honored 
 native of Dublin, Prof. Samuel Carroll Derby of the Ohio State 
 University at Columbus, has prepared a valuable monograph 
 entitled "A List of the Revolutionary Soldiers of Dublin, 
 N. H.," to which he has added two supplements. With his 
 consent, we have used this work, from which we have derived 
 valuable assistance in our effort to obtain the names of Dublin 
 men in the service. After a careful research in the printed mate- 
 rial which the state has provided in relation to the Revolu- 
 tion, we can find but a single name which might possibly be 
 added to those which he has considered. Without any attempt 
 to make a complete list of soldiers of the Revolution who moved 
 to Dublin after the war, the following is a list as nearly correct 
 as it has been possible to make it, of those who went into the 
 service from Dublin. 
 
 1. Elisha Adams, in Capt. Jason Wait's company, Col. 
 Enoch Hale's regiment, in 1778, was then 20 years of age, and 
 accredited to Charlestown. In 1781, he was one of the six 
 months' men raised by New Hampshire, to reinforce the con- 
 
174 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 tinental army at West Point. He was then accredited to Dub- 
 lin. He removed to Maine, and died at Farmington, in that 
 state, in 1837. According to Mr. Derby, Ehsha had a brother, 
 Joseph Adams, wlio served in the army from Holhston, Mass. 
 A fragment of the diary which the hitter kept during the siege 
 of Boston was recently found in Dublin, and is in the family of 
 the late A. L. Ball. 
 
 2. Thomas Alden appears in the invoice for 1773 for the 
 first time. He had lived in town but two or three years before 
 he was mustered, in 1776, into Capt. Joseph Parker's company, 
 Col. Enoch Hale's regiment, and joined the army at Ticon- 
 deroga. He had six children born in Dublin, the last in 1787. 
 He died, Feb. 22, 1813, at Leicester, Vt., about 70 years of age. 
 
 3. Hart Balcii gives the compiler of the "Revolutionary 
 Rolls" considerable business. He saw service in several differ- 
 ent organizations, and for several years. For a little more than 
 three months, in 1775, he was in Capt. Wm. Walker's company 
 in Col. James Reed's regiment. In 1777, in the return by Col. 
 Enoch Hale, he is called a nine months' man, and from Jaffrey, 
 26 years of age. In the same year, he went to Ticonderoga, in 
 Capt. Roger Gilmore's company, under Lieut. Col. Thomas 
 Heald, and served 14 days. In May, 1778, he enhsted for a 
 year in Capt. Caleb Robinson's company, Col. Nathan Hale's 
 regiment. April 24, 1781, he enlisted for three years, accred- 
 ited to Dublin, in the 9th company of Col. Joseph Cilley's regi- 
 ment. On July 17, 1782, we learn from Mr. Derby's work, the 
 selectmen of Dublin made Hart Balch the bearer of a letter 
 to the New Hampshire Committee on Claims, then in session 
 at Exeter. His first appearance in the town is indicated by his 
 being "warned out" in 1779. The births of three of his chil- 
 dren are recorded in the Dublin records, the last in 1786. He 
 seems to have moved from town shortly after this. He was 
 born at Newbury, Mass., Nov. 9, 1751, and died at Andover, 
 Vt., Feb. 15, 1846. 
 
 4. Nathaniel Bates, whose last name appears in ancient 
 records as Bate, was on the tax list of 1771. He was returned 
 by Dublin, April 1777, as in the company of Capt. Jason Wait, 
 in the regiment of Col. Joseph Cilley. He was 39 years of age. 
 From a memorial addressed by his widow to the House of Rep- 
 resentatives at Exeter, dated, Oct. 28, 1778, we learn that he 
 was killed in the first battle of Stillwater, Sept. 19, 1777, and 
 left a widow and two small children. We learn from Mr. Derby 
 that he lived "on the north side of Derby Hill," and that "John 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 175 
 
 Stroud appears to have been the next occupant of Nathaniel 
 Bates's Httle farm, and to have come to Dubhn about 1778." 
 Mrs. Bates married her neighbor, John Stroud, and afterwards 
 Hved in Stoddard. 
 
 5. Nathaniel Belknap came to Dubhn in 1771'. He was a 
 corporal in the company of Capt. Daniel Emerson, in the regi- 
 ment of Col. Hercules Mooney, raised in July, 1778, for service 
 in Rhode Island. He served a little more than six months. 
 He died in Dublin, July 18, 1826. We read on his headstone: 
 "He had been an inhabitant of Dublin 52 years." His second 
 wife, who was Rebecca Clark, b. in Townsend, Mass., July 29, 
 1764; died in Dublin, Sept. 21, 1866, at the great age of 102 
 years, one month, and 23 days. She was the oldest person who 
 has died in Dublin so far as we know. Joshua Stanford, who 
 died in 1855, was a few days younger. 
 
 6. Asa Bullard was in the company of Capt. Othniel 
 Thomas, in the regiment of Col. Daniel Reynolds. On May 5, 
 1786, he gave a receipt to the Dublin authorities for rations and 
 travelling money to Springfield, Mass., in 1781. Mr. Derby 
 informs us that he became a physician and settled in Boston. 
 He died at Mt. Vernon, N. H., May 1, 1826. He came to Dub- 
 lin about 1785, and taught school. He graduated at Dart- 
 mouth, 1793, and received from Harvard the degrees of A.M. 
 (1809), M.D. (1813). 
 
 7. Simeon Bullard was on the tax list in 1771, in Dublin. 
 He was a sergeant in Capt. Joseph Parker's company and Col. 
 Isaac Wyman's regiment which went to reinforce the northern 
 army at Ticonderoga in the summer of 1776. He lived near 
 the northern end of Bullard (now called Thorndike) Pond, 
 which was named for him. A magnificent elm, which has been 
 admired by hundreds, stands near the site of his abode. He 
 died in Dublin, Jan. 21, 1828. His burial was two days later, 
 on the 23d, according to Rev. L. W. Leonard's church record. 
 
 8. James Chamberlain, whose name was sometimes spelled 
 "James Chamblen" on the old records, was one of many who 
 came from Sherborn, Mass., to Dublin. According to the 
 former History of Dublin, he came in 1772. He settled nearly 
 on the site of Mrs. George Gowing's house in the village. His 
 son lived on the site of the Unitarian church, and kept a tavern, 
 in the house (now moved further east) occupied by Wilfred 
 M. Fiske. James Chamberlain is supposed to be the same as 
 "James Chandler" who was in Capt. Salmon Stone's company, 
 which went in 1777 to the westward, and took part in the 
 
176 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 battles of Bennington and Stillwater. He enlisted, April 24, 
 1781, for three years, and was a corporal in the 9th company 
 of Col. Cilley's (the 1st) regiment. He was for seven years the 
 captain of the Dublin militia company. He died in Dublin, 
 Jan. 24, 1826. 
 
 9. Joseph Frost, in the N. H. Revolutionary Rolls, is as- 
 signed to the company of Capt. Othniel Thomas, in the regi- 
 ment of Col. Daniel Reynolds, and accredited to Dublin. In 
 1781, this company joined the army at West Point. We can 
 find nothing further with respect to him. 
 
 10. Richard Gilchrest, a native of Lunenburg, Mass., was 
 the son of a Scotchman, who went to Ireland, and thence, 
 eventually, to America. According to the former History of 
 Dublin, page 340, Richard Gilchrest lived in Littleton, Mass., 
 for a time, as a teamster; then went to Swanzey, N. H., and 
 lived with an uncle. On the 20th of April, 1775, he was at 
 work, with several others, preparing timber for a barn. Early 
 in the day, the party heard that the British troops had left 
 Boston, and had killed a large number of the Provincials. 
 The question was asked, "Will you go?" and every one an- 
 swered, "Yes." Thirteen persons were soon collected and went 
 to Cambridge. Gilchrest was in the battle of Bunker Hill. He 
 was afterwards in an excursion on Noddle Island and Hog 
 Island, under Gen. Putnam, in which a number of the British 
 were killed, a schooner burned, and a sloop of war sunk. In 
 1775, his name appears on the tax list in Dublin. He had prob- 
 ably come to town in 1774. The name of his friend Thomas 
 Green appears at the same time. The preceding statement that 
 he was working in Swanzey in 1775 is doubtless correct, but 
 he had previously become a resident of Dublin, in 1774, and 
 was probably only working temporarily in Swanzey. The 
 History of Swanzey is silent about Richard Gilchrest, but fur- 
 nishes ample evidence that Thomas Green marched to Cam- 
 bridge from Swanzey and was wounded at Bunker Hill. They 
 probably went together. In the former History of Dublin, page 
 151, we find that Richard Gilchrest, like most old soldiers, was 
 fond of "fighting his battles o'er again"; and some of his nar- 
 ratives, if they coidd be obtained, would be worthy of preser- 
 vation. He was a tall, robust, athletic man, of great resolution 
 and undoubted courage. His attachment to his friends was 
 strong, and, for their relief, he was ever ready to sacrifice per- 
 sonal considerations. His strength and power of endurance were 
 thoroughly tested in his exploit of removing from the battle- 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 177 
 
 ground of Bunker Hill his wounded friend Thomas Green. 
 It was a hot day; and, with such a burden, he became, before 
 he reached Medford, exceedingly thirsty. He saw persons stand- 
 ing round a barrel, the head of which was taken out, and 
 drinking from a pint tin cup what he supposed to be water. 
 He eagerly laid hold of the cup, filled it from the barrel, and 
 did not discover, he said, that it was rum till after the contents 
 of the cup were exhausted. "But," he always added, "I was 
 not intoxicated by it, no ! no more than if it had really been so 
 much water. The New Hampshire Revolutionary Rolls do not 
 mention any service of his, but they are somewhat defective, 
 and their indexes are not complete. He is supposed to have 
 seen service in Massachusetts organizations. At all events, 
 the traditions recorded in the former History of Dublin cannot 
 be doubted, and he must be included as a soldier of the Revo- 
 lution. He died in Dublin, June 19, 1833. 
 
 11. Bartholomew Goyer (or in French Barthelemi Goyer), 
 according to Mr. Derby's monograph, bought land in Dublin, 
 in 1766. The N. H. Revolutionary Rolls mention him several 
 times. In 1777, he was a private in the company of Capt. John 
 Mellen, which went to reinforce Ticonderoga. In 1779, he 
 enlisted again and received £6 billeting money to Springfield, 
 Mass. In 1781, he enlisted in the company of Capt. Dustin, in 
 the regiment of Col. George Reid. He served with his company 
 until June, 1782, when he was captured by the Indians in the 
 Mohawk valley, and carried to Canada, where he remained 
 until September, 1783. He was supposed to have been killed 
 by the Indians, and was returned as "dead." His name did not 
 appear subsequently upon the rolls, and he drew no pay. In 
 1792, he petitioned the General Court for compensation, stat- 
 ing the fact of his capture and his supposed death. Col. Reid 
 certified to the facts. His request was granted, and he received 
 £30, and interest from Sept. 30, 1783. He lived on the Derby 
 Hill, in the south part of Dublin. He sold his farm to Samuel 
 Derby, in 1796, and removed to North Adams, Mass. Mr. 
 Derby informs us that "certain bills in the records of Dublin 
 show that the town built a house for Goyer during his service 
 in the army." 
 
 12. Thomas Green appeared in Dublin at the same time as 
 Richard Gilchrest. According to tradition, they were firm 
 friends. They are on the tax list of 1775, probably coming to 
 town in 1774. They both appear in Swanzey early in 1775. 
 We learn from Swanzey records that Green, and, from tradition. 
 
178 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 that Gilchrest, went from Swanzev, after the Lexington 
 "alarm," and that both were in the battle of Bunker Hill. In 
 the notice of Gilchrest, we have already mentioned the cir- 
 cumstance of his bearing Green from the battle-field, after the 
 latter was wounded. The History of Swanzey and the N. H. 
 Revolutionary Rolls fully relate the facts. He was accredited 
 to Swanzey. He drew half pay, as an invalid, for three years, 
 from Jan. 1, 1776, and New Hampshire granted him a pension 
 of eighteen shillings a month after 1785. He was married, in 
 Swanzey, March 2, 1780, to Lydia Foster and the births of two 
 of their children, both sons, are recorded in that town, the last 
 in 1784; after which, we learn no more of the family. 
 
 13. Eli Greenwood was known to the oldest inhabitants as 
 a soldier of the Revolution. His name is not found in the N. H. 
 Revolutionary Rolls, so far as we can discover from the indexes. 
 He may have served in some Massachusetts company. It is 
 very likely, however, that the rolls containing his service are 
 not preserved. He died in Dublin, Oct. 8, 1827. He lived at 
 Pottersville, on the site of the first house east of the road lead- 
 ing to Chesham station. 
 
 14. Joshua Greenwood, a brother of Eli, came to Dublin, 
 in his youth, with his father, William Green w^ood, who settled 
 on or near the site of the house now owned by Dr. Childs. He 
 was, at three different times, in the regiment of Col. Enoch 
 Hale; in the company of Capt. Josiah Brown, May 6, 1777; in 
 the company of Capt. John Mellen, June 28, 1777; and in 
 Capt. Samuel Twitchell's company, in 1778, which took part 
 in the Rhode Island campaign. He settled on the paternal 
 homestead, mentioned above, and died in Dublin, Dec. 1, 1827, 
 ae. 72. 
 
 15. Moses Greenwood came from Newton, Mass., to Dub- 
 lin, in 1771, and settled on or near the site of Miss Thayer's 
 summer residence, on lot 6 of the fifth range. He was in the 
 company of Capt. John Mellen, which went to Ticonderoga in 
 1777. He died in Dublin, July 2, 1827, in the 79th year of 
 his age. 
 
 16. William Greenwood was a brother of Eli and Joshua 
 Greenwood. He was in the company of Capt. Joseph Parker, 
 which marched to the relief of Ticonderoga in 1776. He was in 
 the company of Capt. Salmon Stone, which participated in the 
 battles of Bennington and Stillwater, in 1777. He lived on lot 
 22 of the eighth range, just north of the present line between 
 Dublin and Harrisville, where his son, Arba Greenwood, after- 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 179 
 
 wards lived, on the old road to Marlborough, a short distance 
 west of the site of Russell's mill. He died there, Aug. 30, 1830. 
 
 17. Thomas Hardy, a native of Hollis, purchased land in 
 Dublin in 1777. He was in the army of the Revolution three 
 years, and was in the battles of Bunker Hill, Bennington, and 
 Trenton. He was at West Point at the time of Arnold's treach- 
 ery. In 1777, he is described, in the returns, as follows, "age 
 22, well set, and five feet eight inches high." He was a sergeant 
 in the company of Capt. Benjamin Spaulding at West Point, 
 in 1781. He was the first settler of the farm on Hardy Hill, on 
 the spot where the Spauldings last lived. Thomas Hardy died 
 there, July 25, 1816. 
 
 18. Ebenezer Hill, a native of Sherborn, Mass., settled in 
 Dublin in 1773. In a roll of men engaged in the continental 
 service, for three years, or during the war, under Capt. William 
 Scott of Peterborough, according to a return made by Abiel 
 Abbot, Muster-Master, Dec. 17, 1777, we find the name of 
 Ebenezer Hill, his place of residence not given. The company 
 was composed of men from Peterborough, Temple, Lynde- 
 borough. New Boston, Amherst, and other towns not designated. 
 Ebenezer Hill lived near the present station called Eastview, 
 on the place where Daniel Townsend and Charles P. Hayward 
 have more recently lived. Mr. Derby has not included Eben- 
 ezer Hill in his list of soldiers from Dublin, but we feel that there 
 can be no reasonable doubt that the man of that name in 
 Capt. Scott's company was the same who lived upon the place 
 mentioned. He died there, Oct. 1, 1834, at the age of 91. 
 
 19. James Houghton came to Dublin in 1781, and settled 
 on a spot very near the power station of the Dublin Electric 
 Company. He appears to have brought one son and five daugh- 
 ters, some (perhaps the most) of whom had reached maturity. 
 Another son, James, Jr., moved to Dublin five years after his 
 father. James Houghton, Sr., enlisted, June 4, 1782, for the 
 war. Mr. Derby suggests that he may have been the James 
 Houghton who was a sergeant in Col. Timothy Bedel's regi- 
 ment, 1777-8. The family did not remain long in Dublin, and 
 we have not been able to trace their movements after leaving 
 Dublin. 
 
 20. Caleb Hunt enlisted from Dublin, at sixteen years of 
 age, in the company of Capt. Samuel Blodgett, in the regiment 
 of Col. Nathan Hale, May 9, 1777. In the returns of this 
 company, he is described as being five feet eight inches in 
 height, of dark complexion and black eyes. He was reported 
 
180 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 to have been severely wounded in the retreat from Ticonderoga, 
 and to have been left at Iliibbardston, Vt., where his wounds 
 were dressed by Dr. Abraham Downer of Charlestown, who 
 was allowed forty-two shillings for his attentions to Hunt. 
 In 1779, he was returned as in Col. George Reid's regiment, 
 and is here described as five feet ten inches in height, of light 
 hair and a light complexion. He was but a youth, and two 
 additional years in his age may account for the increase in 
 height. The discrepancies respecting his complexion were due 
 to carelessness. In 1781, he enlisted in the town of Amherst, 
 but gave his residence as Dublin. In one of the returns, he is 
 said to have been born in Dublin, but that is an error. He was 
 born about 1761, probably in Holliston, Mass., where his father 
 had resided, and from which towTi the family came to Dublin 
 in 1773. Caleb was the son of Willard Hunt, another soldier 
 of whom we shall speak later. In 1794, in common with other 
 soldiers who enlisted for Amherst, he petitioned for a grant of 
 state land, because of the depreciation of the currency in which 
 the soldiers were paid. For the residence of his father's family 
 in Dublin, see the following notice of Willard Hunt. Caleb 
 Hunt lived in various places. In the early part of the nine- 
 teenth century, he was a prominent citizen of Stoddard. In 
 1807, he purchased a place in Sullivan, and obtained a license 
 as an inn-keeper. He was unable to pay for his place and soon 
 left it. He went to Marlborough, where he died, a year later. 
 May 26, 1811, at the comparatively early age of fifty years. 
 On his gravestone, he is called Capt. Caleb Hunt. 
 
 21. Henry Hunt was a private soldier, in the company of 
 Capt. Benjamin Spaulding, in the regiment of Col. Moses 
 Nichols, which marched to West Point in 1780. In 1781, he 
 enlisted for Amherst for six months, but claiming Dublin as a 
 residence. In the Revolution, as in the Civil War, boys often 
 enlisted from the towns in w^hich they were temporarily work- 
 ing. Sometimes also they enlisted for towns in which they did 
 not live because of the tempting bounties offered. Henry Hunt 
 was the next younger brother of Caleb Hunt, the subject of the 
 preceding notice, and a son of Willard Hunt, the subject of the 
 following notice. Henry Hunt was born August 12, 1762, prob- 
 ably in Holliston, Mass., whence his father's family came to 
 Dublin about 1773, the name of Willard Hunt being first seen 
 on the tax-list in 1774. His father's residence in Dublin will be 
 mentioned in the next paragraph. After the war, in 1783, 
 Henry Hunt went from Dublin to Marlborough, and settled 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 181 
 
 upon a farm, always called the Hunt place, in the east part of 
 that town, a quarter of a mile or more south of Stone Pond. In 
 1783, he married Sarah, daughter of Dea. James Flood. They 
 had no child, and an adopted son died at the close of his 
 twenty-first year. Henry Hunt died on this farm, Nov. 17, 
 1828, and his nephew, Moses Hunt, succeeded him on the 
 place. 
 
 22. WiLLARD Hunt, the father of Caleb and Henry Hunt, of 
 whom we have already spoken, first appears on the tax-list in 
 Dublin in 1774, and probably came to town the previous year. 
 He was from Holliston, Mass. His wife was Martha Wadkins 
 (or Watkins). They had seven children, of whom the first six 
 were born before they came to Dublin. In 1779, Mr. Hunt 
 bought of Thomas Morse the second lot of the eighth range, 
 and settled on or near the spot where Parker Fiske and -Levi 
 W. Fiske lived. According to the former History of Dublin, 
 Mr. Hunt also lived on the fourteenth lot of the eighth range, 
 south of the road leading past the Solon Willard place. Both 
 of these lots are in the present town of Harrisville. According 
 to the Revolutionary Rolls, Mr. Hunt served in the company of 
 Capt. Abijah Smith, which was used to reinforce Washington's 
 army near New York in September, 1776. He also enlisted for 
 a year in April, 1778. About 1800, Mr. Hunt moved from Dub- 
 lin to Hancock, and settled near the shore of the pond which, 
 from him, was called Hunt Pond. He lived on the farm where 
 his grandson, David Hunt, hved many years. He died in Han- 
 cock, but we have not ascertained the date of his death. 
 
 23. Ithamar Johnson (first name often spelled Ithamer) 
 was in Capt. Jacob Miller's company, in Col. Ephraim Doolit- 
 tle's regiment, at Winter Hill, Oct. 6, 1775, according to the 
 Revolutionary Rolls, where he is accredited to Dublin. He 
 first appears on the Dublin tax-list in 1773, which was perhaps 
 on his coming of age. He was, yery likely, a son of Moses John- 
 son, of whom we shall speak in the next paragraph. He was 
 not a land-owner in Dublin, so far as any record shows, and 
 we do not know what became of him. 
 
 24. Moses Johnson is found in Dublin as early as 1764, in 
 the list of those who worked upon the roads in 1764-65. In 
 1766, he purchased the seventh lot in the eighth range, and 
 settled on or near the spot known as the Charles Corey place, 
 where the Tarboxes recently lived. He was a private in the 
 company of Capt. Abbott, in Col. Stark's regiment, at Medford, 
 Oct. 4, 1775. The Rolls also mention his being in Capt. John 
 
182 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Mellen's company, and in that of Capt. Samuel Twitchell, in 
 the Rhode Island expedition, in August, 1778. June 29, 1776, 
 he sold his farm, lot seven in the eighth range, to Sibylla 
 (called "Sibbelah") Johnson, a spinster, probably his sister, 
 who sold it, a year later, to Simeon Johnson, probably a 
 brother of both. Moses Johnson continued trading in land in 
 Dublin as late as 1782, his residence being given as Dublin. 
 After that year, we cannot positively identify him with any 
 Moses Johnson of whom we find a record. He was probably 
 the father of Ithamar Johnson, and the brother of Simeon 
 Johnson, who is mentioned in the next paragraph. We have 
 not learned what became of him. 
 
 25. Simeon Johnson, a brother of the preceding soldier, on 
 Oct. 9, 1777, bought of Miss Sibylla Johnson the larger part 
 of the seventh lot of the eighth range, which, shortly before, 
 she had purchased of Moses Johnson. As we observed in the 
 preceding paragraph, it is the lot upon which Charles Corey 
 and the Tarboxes lived in later years. According to the former 
 History of Dublin, Simeon Johnson moved, with his family, in 
 1819, to Keene, Ohio. Some or all of the other Johnsons may 
 have gone with this family, but their name disappears from the 
 Dublin records. Simeon Johnson's name first appears upon the 
 Dublin tax-list in 1771. 
 
 26. Elias Know^lton enlisted from Dublin, according to 
 Mr. Derby, May 5, 1775, as a private in Capt. Jacob Miller's 
 company. Col. Ephraim Doolittle's regt. He was at Winter 
 Hill, Oct. 6, 1775. 
 
 27. John Knowlton was a Holliston man. According to the 
 former History of Dublin, he came to this town in June, 1770. 
 He was soon followed by the family of Willard Hunt, whose 
 son, Isaac Hunt, married his daughter, Martha Knowlton. 
 Mr. Knowlton settled on the fifteenth lot of the sLxth range, 
 where his son, Luke Knowlton, afterwards lived. According to 
 the Revolutionary Rolls, he was a private in Capt. Abijah 
 Smith's company, in the regiment of Col. Nahum Baldwin, 
 which was raised to reinforce the army of Washington at New 
 York. It served through the autumn of 1776, and was at White 
 Plains, Oct. 28, 1776. He was also a corporal in Capt. Salmon 
 Stone's company, which went from Rindge, in July, 1777, to 
 join the army at Stillwater, and served about three months. 
 He was also a sergeant in Capt. Samuel Twitchell's company, 
 in the Rhode Island campaign. He died in Dublin, Oct. 6? 
 (funeral, Oct. 8), 1827, at the age of 82. His widow died in 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 183 
 
 April, 1835, at the age of 89. He was a deacon of the Baptist 
 church (in Pottersville) . 
 
 28. Benjamin Mason, Jr., was brought to DubHn as an 
 infant, when his father, Benjamin, Sr., moved from Sherborn, 
 Mass., about 1765. The latter settled on the Solon Willard 
 place, in what is now Harris ville. Benjamin, Jr., was a fifer 
 in the company of Capt. Salmon Stone, in the regiment of 
 Col. Moses Nichols, from July 21 to Sept. 25, 1777. This 
 regiment participated in the battles of Bennington and Still- 
 water. Benjamin Mason, Jr. lived upon the farm where Cyrus 
 Mason and John H. Mason have since lived, now the Catlin 
 estate. He died in Dubhn, May 16, 1840, ae. 79. 
 
 29. Francis Mason, according to the Revolutionary Rolls, 
 was returned as in the company of Capt. Samuel Blodgett, in 
 the regiment of Col. Nathan Hale, and credited to Jaffrey. 
 This was in 1777. He is then said to be 34 years of age. Near 
 the beginning of 1778, he is credited to Dublin, in the returns. 
 He is reported as absent, having deserted his regiment at 
 Clevericke (probably Claverack was the place). He is de- 
 scribed as 35 years of age, five feet six inches in height, of 
 light complexion and light hair and light eyes. In another 
 paper, he is mentioned, in 1777, as being in the 7th company of 
 the 2d (Col. Geo. Reid's) regiment. He is not discovered to have 
 any near relationship with any of the Masons who have re- 
 sided in Dublin, among whom no deserter would be likely ever 
 to have been found. He was probably a rover, who enlisted 
 for one town or another, wherever he might chance to be work- 
 ing, or stopping, for the time. He was born in 1742 or 1743, 
 but we know not where, or what became of him. 
 
 30. Joseph Mason was a brother of Benjamin Mason, Jr., 
 the second preceding soldier. He was in the company of Capt. 
 Salmon Stone, in the regiment of Col. Moses Nichols, which 
 went to Bennington and Stillwater, in 1777. He lived on the 
 twentieth lot of the tenth range, where several generations of 
 his descendants lived, on the place more recently owned by 
 Doctors Bell and Dillingham, near the north line of the origi- 
 nal Dublin, now in Harrisville. He was killed by the falling of 
 a tree, March 11, 1806, and his body was buried in the ceme- 
 tery in the north-east part of Marlborough. 
 
 31. Moses Mason, Jr., was in Capt. Joseph Parker's com- 
 pany, in the regiment of Col. Nathan Hale, in 1776, and 
 marched to Ticonderoga. In the following year, he was in the 
 company of Capt. John Mellen, which also went to the relief 
 
184 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 of Ticonderoga. In 1777, in Capt. Salmon Stone's company, 
 he was in the battles of Bennington and Stillwater. He also 
 marched to West Point, in 1781, under Col. Daniel Reynolds. 
 According to the Rolls, on May 5, 1786, he gave a receipt for 
 rations and travel money to Springfield, He was the son of 
 Moses and Lydia (Knapp) Mason, and was born, April 26, 
 1757, soon before, or soon after, his father moved from Newton 
 to Sherborn, INIass., which was in 1757. In 1767, the family 
 moved to Dublin, and settled on the tenth lot of the first range, 
 in the north part of the lot, where no house now stands. Moses 
 Mason, Jr., lived on the same farm, and nine of his eleven chil- 
 dren were born there. He moved to Bethel, Me., where he 
 died, Oct. 31, 1837, 80 years of age. 
 
 32. James Mills was in the company of Capt. Wm. Still- 
 son, in Col. Isaac Wyman's regiment, from July to December, 
 1776. The Revolutionary Rolls do not give his residence as 
 Dublin, but the editor of the former History of Dublin includes 
 him in the list of Dublin Revolutionary soldiers, and the "tra- 
 dition of the elders," some of whom were living in his time, was 
 doubtless reliable. He lived a short time on the seventh lot 
 of the fourth range, on the site occupied later by Asa Fisk and 
 Asa H. Fisk. In 1782, he married Hannah, daughter of Moses 
 Mason, Sr,, and a sister of Moses Mason, Jr., the soldier noticed 
 in the preceding paragraph. In 1785, he moved to Bethel, Me., 
 where he was killed by the fall of a tree, in 1790. 
 
 33. Daniel Morse is a name that occurs many times in the 
 Revolutionary Rolls, but one or two references point unmis- 
 takably to Daniel Morse, Sr., of Dublin. He is returned as 
 being in the company of Capt. Josiah Brown, in the regiment 
 of Col. Enoch Hale, which marched to the relief of Ticonderoga, 
 in May, 1777. In August, 1778, he was in the company of 
 Capt. Samuel Twitchell of Dublin, in the Rhode Island cam- 
 paign, with so many Dublin boys as to leave no chance to 
 doubt that he was the Daniel Morse of that town. We find 
 other Daniel Morses in Exeter and Newton. He removed to 
 Underbill or Queensbury, Vt., about 1800. We do not know the 
 place and the date of his death. He was a son of Dea. Daniel 
 Morse of Newton and Sturbridge, Mass., and not a brother of 
 Micah, 1st, as stated in the former History of Dublin. For his 
 residence in Dublin, see No. 38. 
 
 34. Ezra Morse was in Col. Paul Dudley Sargent's regi- 
 ment, in the company of Capt. Jeremiah Stiles of Keene, 
 Oct. 16, 1775, and is supposed to have been at Bunker Hill. He 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 185 
 
 is found to have enlisted, July 14, 1775. He was also in Capt. 
 Samuel Twitcliell's company, in the Rhode Island campaign, 
 in August, 1778. He was the third son and ninth child of Capt. 
 Thomas Morse, and was a native of Sherborn, Mass, He 
 lived at the east end of Pottersville, on the hill, on the north 
 side of the road, in a house, not now standing, just west of the 
 junction of the present road to Harrisville with the old (dis- 
 continued) road. A pottery was the only building that stood 
 between the site of Mr. Morse's house and this junction, Mr. 
 Morse died in that house, June 3, 1830, in his 78th year. 
 
 35. John Morse was the next younger brother of Ezra 
 Morse, noticed in the preceding paragraph. He was a corporal 
 in the company of Capt, Joseph Parker, which was sent to 
 Ticonderoga in 1776. He went there again, in 1777, in the com- 
 pany of Capt. John Mellen. He was also at West Point, in 1780, 
 in the company of Capt, Henry Dearborn, John Morse and 
 Jonathan Morse (who is noticed in the next paragraph) were 
 the sons of Capt, Thomas Morse. In the "Memorial of the 
 Morses," we find the following account of them: "Major John 
 Morse served two campaigns in the war of the Revolution 
 without compensation, and contributed to hire three other 
 soldiers; and, after the war, settled with his father on the farm. 
 At the age of twenty-three, he was chosen to represent Dublin 
 and Marlborough in the legislature of New Hampshire, but 
 declined. Subsequently, and at sundry times, he accepted the 
 office from the citizens of Dublin, the duties of which he dis- 
 charged with honor to himself and his constituents; and he has 
 left a reputation for sound sense, cool deliberation, strict in- 
 tegrity, and promptitude in fulfilling his engagements. . . . 
 Jonathan Morse inherited the mirthful and combative pro- 
 pensities characteristic of at least six generations of Joseph 
 Morse's descendants. At the age of nineteen, with attainments 
 equivalent to a modern backwoods education, he entered the 
 army, and bravely fought in the battles of Bunker Hill, Ben- 
 nington, Ticonderoga, and Monmouth. At Bennington, he 
 captured three Hessians, and took their arms. At Ticonderoga, 
 he took aim, and brought down a British officer, and, on ap- 
 proaching the expiring man, who was begging for drink, he ad- 
 ministered to him from his own canteen." John Morse settled 
 upon the homestead of his father, who was the first English 
 settler of Dublin. The house was a large two-story mansion of 
 the prevailing pattern, which stood on the site of the present 
 club house, where the Troy road connects with the Stone Pond 
 
186 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 road to Marlborough. He had the title of "Major" in the 
 militia. He died in Dublin, Feb. 19, 1813, in his 59th year. 
 
 86. Jonathan Morse, another of the sons of Capt. Thomas 
 Morse, was in Col. Ephraim Doolittle's regiment at Winter 
 Hill, Oct. 6, 1775, and was most likely in the battle of Bunker 
 Hill. He was also with his brother John in Capt. Joseph Par- 
 ker's company at Ticonderoga, in 1776, and, according to the 
 Revolutionary Rolls, he was a corporal in the company of 
 Capt. Josiah Brown, May 6, 1777, and served six months in 
 1780, in the company of Capt. Henry Dearborn. In 1777, he 
 was at Bennington and Stillwater, in the company of Capt. 
 Salmon Stone, in the regiment of Col. Moses Nichols. In 1781 
 he was in the 1st N. H. Continental regiment (Col, Joseph Cil- 
 ley's). He was born in Sherborn, Mass., May 23, 1756, and 
 was 24 in 1780. For a notice of him taken from the Memorial of 
 the Morses, see the preceding paragraph. He lived a few years 
 in Dublin (now Harrisville), on the tenth lot of the ninth range, 
 where the McKims live in 1916. Not far from 1790, he moved to 
 Leicester, Vt., where he died, December 1812. 
 
 37. MiCAH Morse, 1st, was in the company of Capt. Salmon 
 Stone, in 1777, and was at Bennington and Stillwater, and died 
 in the service. According to the former History of Dublin, he 
 came to this town about 1768, and settled on the sixth lot of 
 the fifth range, probably on or near the site of the house where 
 Horatio Greenwood lived. The tradition that he died in the 
 service, which was accepted by the editor of the former his- 
 tory, was probably correct. He was twice married. Three 
 children by the former wife were born before he came to Dublin. 
 One died in infancy, the other two survived him. A daughter by 
 the second wife married Benjamin Marshall of Dublin. Ac- 
 cording to the registry of deeds, he came to Monadnock No. 
 3, earlier than stated in the former History of Dublin. As early 
 as Sept. 13, 1766, he sold land to Bartholomew Goyer in the 
 eighth lot of the first range, which was later the Derby farm. 
 His residence was then given as Monadnock No. 3 (Dublin). 
 After living a few years on the sixth lot of the fifth range, he 
 sold it, in 1769, to Caleb Hill of Sherborn, Mass., and then 
 lived two or three years in Conway, Mass., where the daughter 
 of his second wife was born. We do not know whether he re- 
 turned to Dublin. According to the Memorial of the Morses, 
 he was born in 1729, and perished in the war of the Revolution. 
 
 38. MiCAH Morse, 2d, was a son of Daniel Morse (No. 33), 
 and not a near relative of Micah Morse, 1st, as was stated in 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 187 
 
 the former History of Dublin. He was at West Point, in 1780, 
 in Capt. Henry Dearborn's company. His residence was given 
 as Dublin, and his age as 20, in the returns, which make it 
 certain that he was Micah, the son of Daniel, Morse. Nov. 22, 
 
 1779, according to a recorded deed, he and his father purchased 
 a part of the ninth lot of the tenth range (now in Harris ville). 
 Twelve years later, Dec. 3, 1791, they sold it, "with the build- 
 ings thereon," to Alexander Eames. They lived near the out- 
 let brook of the North Pond, but there is now no vestige of 
 their house left. Micah operated a tannery, which was situ- 
 ated in the village, nearly opposite the present residence of 
 Dr. Childs, and almost on the site of the house of Fremont E. 
 Mason. He moved to Dansville, N. Y. We have found no 
 record of his death. Daniel Morse lived at first on lot eleven, 
 range eight, on the site of the so-called Milliken place. 
 
 39. Reuben Morse was the eldest son and third child of 
 Capt. Thomas Morse. He was a private in the company of 
 Capt. Salmon Stone, in the regiment of Col. Moses Nichols, in 
 
 1780, and was in the battles of Bennington and Stillwater. He 
 lived on the twelfth lot of the eighth range, very near the pres- 
 ent summer residence of Mrs. Edward C. Jones. He died there, 
 August 27, 1810, ae. 68 years. He was a native of Sherborn, 
 Mass. 
 
 40. Thomas Morse, Jr., was the second son and seventh 
 child of Capt. Thomas Morse, the first English settler of Dub- 
 lin, of whose six sons the eldest five were soldiers in the war of 
 the Revolution, the youngest being but fourteen years of age 
 when the war began. Thomas Morse, Jr., was enrolled in the 
 Keene "Foot Company," August 7, 1773. The same year, he 
 was married to Martha Rowe of Sullivan (then Gilsum), by 
 whom he had four children who are known to us. He enlisted, 
 May 15, 1775, in time to join the company of Jeremiah Stiles 
 of Keene, in the regiment of which Isaac Wyman of Keene was 
 Lieut. Col., and John Stark of Derryfield (now Manchester) 
 was Colonel. He was at the battle of Bunker Hill. He went 
 from Keene, in 1776, in the company of Capt. Abijah Smith, 
 to New York, for a brief service. In the same year, he also 
 served from Keene, at Ticonderoga, in the company of Capt. 
 Isaac Davis, in the regiment of Col. Samuel Ashley. In 1777, 
 he went from Gilsum, in the company of Capt. Elisha Mack, 
 to the aid of Ticonderoga. On reaching Otter Creek, in Ver- 
 mont, they met the army in retreat and learned that Ticon- 
 deroga had been abandoned, and they returned home. In 1778-9, 
 
188 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 he served, from Keene, in the company of Capt. Daniel Rey- 
 nolds, in the Rhode Island campaign. Thomas Morse, at this 
 time, was a young-married man, with no fixed place of abode. 
 He worked for others, and his family was in Dublin a part of 
 the time, also in Keene a portion of the time. Although he 
 gave the credit of his enlistments to Keene or Gilsum, because 
 he was employed in those places, his legal residence was as 
 much in Dublin as anywhere. In 1777, however, he purchased 
 a farm, then in Gilsum, which is near the centre of the present 
 town of Sullivan. He remained in Sullivan imtil 1789, when 
 he moved to Canada, and we have not learned when or where 
 he died. He owned no property in Dublin, and, when his family 
 were living there, they lived in the family of his father, Capt. 
 Thomas Morse, according to the writer's ancestress, who was 
 his niece. 
 
 41. Robert Muzzey, according to the former History of 
 Dublin, at the commencement of the Revolutionary war, sold 
 his farm, and returned to Holliston, Mass., where he obtained 
 
 a lieutenant's commission, and with Captain enlisted a 
 
 company and joined the army. The stories which he told, in 
 after years, of his adventures were not always credited by those 
 who heard them; but the following, though wanting confirma- 
 tion, is given as related by Jonas Wight, who, no doubt, heard 
 the substance of it from the lips of Mr. Muzzey. "He was in 
 several battles," he said, "in one of which his captain was 
 killed, and the command of the company devolved on him. 
 While under the command of General Wayne, he went with a 
 detachment of volunteers to reduce Stony Point Fort. The 
 design was to approach the fort under cover of the night, take 
 it by surprise, and carry it at the point of the bayonet. Orders, 
 therefore, were given that no man should charge his musket. 
 While on the march, one of his company stepped from the 
 ranks, and commenced loading his gun. Muzzey went to him, 
 and commanded him to desist, but, the man still persisting in 
 disobeying the order, he killed him on the spot, by running him 
 through with his sword. On arriving at the fort, he was the 
 first man that entered it. He was confronted by a British 
 officer, whom he ordered to surrender; but the officer, instead 
 of complying, presented a pistol, and attempted to discharge 
 it at Muzzey's head; but it only flashed in the pan, upon which 
 Muzzey ran him through the body, and he fell dead at his feet. 
 The fort was taken and destroyed." On leaving the army, 
 near the close of the war, Muzzey returned to Dublin, and set- 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 189 
 
 tied on lot 16, range 7, where Thomas Fisk lived before he 
 built the new house which is now upon the farm known as 
 Monadnock No. 3. Muzzey brought with him the uniform of 
 the officer whom, as he said, he had slain in the fort. In the coat 
 was the rent which he made when he killed the owner, and upon 
 it still remained stains of blood. Mr. Muzzey is represented as 
 having been eccentric in conduct, and distinguished for his high 
 spirit and rashness. Before he went into the army, Robert 
 Muzzey had lived on or very near the site of the summer resi- 
 dence of George B. Leighton. He finally left Dublin, and went 
 to Sandy Creek, N. Y., where he died, Sept. 9, 1831, ae. 93. 
 He had a son, Robert Muzzey, Jr., who continued to live on 
 lot 16, range 7, for many years. In their signatures, we find 
 that members of this family sometimes wrote Muzzy, at other 
 times Muzzey. 
 
 42. Thomas Muzzey, who enlisted. May 5, 1775, was in the 
 company of Capt. Jacob Miller, in the regiment of Col. Eph- 
 raim Doolittle, at Winter Hill, Oct. 6, 1775. He was probably 
 in the battle of Bunker Hill. He was a brother of Robert Muz- 
 zey (No. 41) and of John Muzzey, who also lived in Dublin. 
 They had a maiden sister, Miss Abigail Muzzey, who was prob- 
 ably the housekeeper of Thomas Muzzey, who was the first 
 settler of the Thomas Fisk farm on lot 16, range 7. Thomas, 
 Robert, and Abigail Muzzey came to Dublin about 1770, bring- 
 ing their widowed mother, Mrs. Abigail Muzzey, with them. 
 Thomas Muzzey purchased this place of Matthew Thornton 
 shortly after. His brother John Muzzey, settled upon the lot 
 north of this, which was, later, the Yardley place. Thomas 
 Muzzey appears to have been unmarried. His will mentions 
 the two brothers named and the sister Abigail, but makes no 
 mention of wife or child. It was formerly supposed that he 
 left Dublin. This is found not to be so. His will was made in 
 Dublin, Jan. 24, 1781. He was said to be "very sick." He 
 died a few days later, and his will was probated, Feb. 20, 1781. 
 He gave half of his estate to Miss Abigail, the other half to 
 the two brothers. 
 
 43. Levi Partridge was in the company of Capt. John 
 Mellen, which went to Ticonderoga in the summer of 1776, 
 and was gone about two months. He and Lydia, his wife, came 
 to Dublin, from Sherborn, Mass., as early as 1762, and lived 
 on lot 16, range 4, a few rods east of the house where the Frosts 
 lived. The house disappeared many years ago. Here six chil- 
 dren were born to them. They moved to Keene between 1778 
 
190 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 and 1780, where four more children were born to them. The 
 body of Mrs. Partridge is buried in the old cemetery in Keene 
 on the Hurricane Road. She died in 1798. We have not found 
 the place and date of Mr. Partridge's death. He is described 
 in a deed as a "Little wheel Rite." 
 
 44. Asa Pratt probably came to Dublin about 1777. His 
 name first appears upon the tax-list in 1778. He was in the 
 company of Capt. Salmon Stone, in the summer of 1777, and 
 was in the battles of Bennington and Stillwater. He was twice 
 married in Dublin and the births of three children are recorded 
 in that town. His death is not recorded. He was taxed in 
 Dublin as late as 1793. 
 
 45. Jabez Puffer was reckoned as one of the Revolutionary 
 soldiers of Dublin. His name is not discovered in the Revo- 
 lutionary Rolls. This may be due to a loss of some of the old 
 records, or to a defect in the index. The indexes to the Rolls 
 are far from complete. Jabez Pufifer came to Dublin from Fram- 
 ingham, Mass., and married a daughter of Capt. Thomas 
 Morse. He had a large family of children, several of whom 
 were feeble-minded and eventually supported by the town. 
 We have found no record of his death. He lived at first on the 
 tenth lot of the eighth range, and later on the eleventh lot of 
 that range, on the Milliken place. 
 
 46. James Rollins, Jr., came to Dublin with his father, 
 from Amherst, N. H., in 1775. He was married, four years 
 later, and settled, at first, on the fourth lot of the first range, 
 where Orison H. Moore lives. In the summer of 1777, he was 
 in the company of Capt. John Mellen, which went to the relief 
 of Ticonderoga. He also enlisted for a year in 1779, and re- 
 ceived £60 for a bounty and £6 billeting money to Springfield, 
 Mass. He moved early to Parkerstown, Vt. We do not know 
 the date of his death. 
 
 47. Joseph Rollins was a brother of James Rollins, Jr., 
 No. 46. He was in the service at West Point, Sept. 18 to Oct. 
 29, 1781, in the company of Capt. Othniel Thomas, in the regi- 
 ment of Col. Daniel Reynolds. He lived on the sixth lot of the 
 fifth range, on the site of the Horatio Greenwood place, also 
 on the fourth lot of the fourth range, on or near the site of the 
 Clukay place. He died in Dublin, Dec. 20, 1836, at the age 
 of 73. 
 
 48. John Stone was one of the Dublin boys who were in 
 Capt. Samuel Twitchell's company, in the Rhode Island cam- 
 paign, in 1778. In 1780, he went to West Point in Captain 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 191 
 
 Benjamin Spaiilding's company. In 1781, he enlisted for the 
 war. The Revohitionary Rolls record the fact that he received 
 thirteen shillings and four pence travelling money from Jaffrey 
 to Cambridge. This John Stone is not the one who came from 
 Jaffrey to Dublin, in 1792, and settled upon the place known 
 later as the Darracott place, and now the summer residence of 
 Miss A. M. Houghton. That John Stone died in Dublin, De- 
 cember 6, 1814, according to his gravestone, which corrects the 
 date of his death given in the former History of Dublin. This 
 soldier is the one mentioned by Mr. Mason in the Centennial 
 Address on page 22 of the former history. Mr. Mason spoke 
 of three soldiers hired by the town and adds: "One was John 
 Stone. The terms on which the latter was hired appear, in part, 
 from a receipt given by him to the committee. It is dated, 
 March 19, 1781, and sets forth that whereas he had received 
 from the committee three notes (the amount of them is not 
 stated), for which he was to serve three years in the Continental 
 Army, unless sooner discharged, he promises that, if he does 
 not serve above six months, he will have the contents of but 
 one note; if not above eighteen months, the contents of but two 
 notes; and, if he is gone two years, he will have but two notes. 
 Mr. Stone probably died in the war, or soon after its close, as, 
 in December, 1788, the town passed a vote, 'that the selectmen 
 make such consideration to the widow Stone as they may think 
 reasonable, on account of the advantage the town had of the 
 depreciation of her late husband's wages ' — a very proper and 
 honorable vote certainly." Mr. Derby thinks, however, that 
 the "widow Stone" to whom Mr. Mason alludes, in the latter 
 part of the remarks quoted, was not the widow of John Stone, 
 but the widow of the latter's father, Silas Stone, Sr., who was 
 also in the war. John died in the army later than 1781. Mr. 
 Derby finds that he was a son of Silas Stone, Sr., which con- 
 firms the suspicions of the editor of the former history of the 
 town; and, also, that he was born in Natick, Mass., June 30, 
 1761. This family lived near the present house of Fred. C. 
 Go wing, on or near the site of the house occupied in 1916 by 
 the Prestons. 
 
 49. Silas Stone, Sr., was the father of the soldier mentioned 
 in the preceding paragraph, where his residence, while he lived 
 in Dublin, is indicated. He was named in the Dublin return 
 for 1777, at which time, he was 48 years of age. He was in the 
 company of Capt. Samuel Blodgett, in the regiment of Col. 
 Nathan Hale, formerly the regiment of Col. Enoch Poor. At 
 
192 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 an earlier date, Oct. 6, 1775, he was in the company of Capt. 
 Benjamin BuUard, in the regiment of Col. John Brewer at 
 Prospect Hill. Mr. Derby finds that he died in the service 
 at Lansingburg, N. Y., later than Oct. 17, 1777. His widow 
 was the "widow Stone" mentioned by Mr. Mason in the Cen- 
 tennial Address, to which we alluded in the preceding para- 
 graph. According to Mr. Derby, she died at an advanced age, 
 in Orwell, Vt., about 1820. 
 
 50. Silas Stone, Jr., was also in the service. We are in- 
 debted to Mr. Derby's notes, for the following notice: "As 
 soon as the news of the battle of Lexington was received at 
 Dublin, he went to his former home in Massachusetts, and 
 enlisted for eight months in the company of Capt. Benjamin 
 Bullard of Sherborn, Col. Jonathan Brewer's regiment, and 
 was at Bunker Hill, where the regiment suffered severely. In 
 1776, he served in Col. Brook's regiment, and was badly 
 wounded at White Plains. He did further service in 1779 and 
 1780. Jan. 9, 1790, he married Jennette Twitchell, and settled 
 on the 'Dea. Twitchell' homestead in Sherborn, where he died, 
 July 12, 1820." Mr. Derby adds that he enlisted, April 29, 
 1775, and was at Prospect Hill, Oct. 6, 1775. 
 
 51. Henry Strongman was born about the year 1716, and 
 is said to have come to this country from Dublin, Ireland, about 
 the year 1736. His family is said to have been the fifth in 
 Dublin, and the first to make a permanent residence. He lived 
 on lot 5, range 6, where Dr. Wood lived. He is mentioned in the 
 former History of Dublin as being one of the Revolutionary 
 soldiers from that town. Although he would be sixty years of 
 age at the outbreak of that war, it is probable that the tradi- 
 tion is correct. Men even older than he was are known to have 
 enlisted in their country's service at that period. He died in 
 Dublin, according to his gravestone, March 17, 1786, ae. 69 
 years and six months. 
 
 52. Richard Strongman, a son of the above-named Henry 
 Strongman, lived upon the homesteatl in Dublin, afterwards the 
 Augustine Wood place. In the summer of 1777, he was a pri- 
 vate in the company of Capt. John Mellen. He died upon the 
 homestead, August 12, 1791, in his thirty-ninth year. 
 
 53. William Strongman was a brother of Richard Strong- 
 man mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In 1776, he went 
 in the company of Capt. Joseph Parker to reinforce the north- 
 ern army at Ticonderoga. In Dublin, he settled on the sixth 
 lot of the sixth range, on the site of the Wyman house. 
 
DUBLIN IN THE REVOLUTION 193 
 
 He removed to North Hero, Vt., where he died, March 30, 
 1836. 
 
 54. John Stroud, in 1775, was in Col. James Reed's regi- 
 ment, in the company of Capt. Benjamin Mann. In the sum- 
 mer of 1777, he was in the Burgoyne campaign, and enhsted 
 for Peterborough in 1781. His Dubhn home was on the north 
 part of the eighth lot of the first range. The Derby homestead 
 was on the south end of this lot. Mr. Stroud moved to Bran- 
 don, Vt. 
 
 55. John Swan, according to the former History of Dublin, 
 as well as Mr. Mason's Centennial Address, enlisted from Dub- 
 lin. Mr. Mason states that he was known as Lieutenant Swan, 
 and that he died soon after 1780. He lived on the fifth lot of the 
 fourth range, where Asa Fisk and John E. F. Baldwin have 
 lived more recently. He probably settled there about 1770, as 
 his name first appears on the tax-list in 1771. The date of his 
 death is unknown. There were several John Swans. There was 
 a younger man of the same name in the war from Peterborough. 
 We think that the man whom Mr. Derby mentions as being in 
 the regiment of Col. George Reid in 1779, at 38 years of age, 
 was a son of Alexander Swan of Peterborough, and a nephew of 
 Lieut. John Swan of Dublin. Both of them had the title of 
 Lieutenant. The younger Swan was married in 1764. If he 
 were 38 in 1779, he was born about 1741, and would be 23 years 
 of age in 1764. He died in the State of New York, about 1836. 
 According to Mr. Mason's Centennial Address, the Dublin 
 Committee of Safety recommended John Swan as a suitable 
 person to receive a command in the army. It was doubtless 
 their own citizen whom they recommended, who died soon after 
 1780, from evidence adduced by Mr. Mason. The History of 
 Peterborough gives the genealogy of both men. The Dublin 
 John would be considerably advanced in years, but other men 
 from that town entered the service who were of about the same 
 age. 
 
 5Q. Gardner Towne (or Town) was in Capt. Joseph Par- 
 ker's company in the summer of 1776, and was also in Capt. 
 Samuel Twitchell's company in the Rhode Island campaign in 
 1778. He owned for five years, 1772 to 1777, the eighth lot of 
 the fourth range, afterwards the Hamilton place. He then 
 owned for seventeen or eighteen years lot 6 of range 9, and 
 lived on the site of the place where Mr. Lampman now lives. 
 Four years later, in 1799, Mr. Towne, still living in Dublin, 
 sold land in the north-east corner of the town, near Dinsmoor 
 
194 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Pond. He removed to Stoddard, where he became a trader. 
 According to the census of 1790, he owned a slave, and was the 
 only Dublin person who owned a slave. The slave's name was 
 Caesar Freeman (the last name of a slave usually being that of 
 some former owner, or of the owner for the time being). On his 
 twenty-first birthday anniversary, July 8, 1790, Mr. Towne 
 gave Caesar his freedom. Mr. Towne was born at Souhegan 
 West (now Amherst, N. H.), June 6, 1741. He married Abigail 
 Hopkins, a native of Charlestown School Farm (now a part of 
 Amherst, N. H.). We have not learned the place and date of 
 his death. 
 
 57. Abel Twitchell, a brother of Capt. Samuel Twitchell, 
 probably came to Dublin in 1773, and first appears upon the 
 tax-list of 1774. He lived on the Capt. Joseph Hay ward place, 
 on the spot where the old curry shop stood. He took his family 
 to Sherborn for a short time, that he might enlist in the war, 
 from that place, with some old neighbors. Shortly after the 
 evacuation of Boston he returned to Dublin and lived in what 
 is now Harrisville on the thirteenth lot of the tenth range, 
 where Allen Bancroft subsequently lived. In 1776, he enlisted 
 from Dublin. He died in Dublin, March 8, 1837. 
 
 58. Capt. Samuel Twitchell was distinguished for holding 
 the highest rank of any man who served for Dublin in the Revo- 
 lution. He was a lieutenant in Capt. John Mellen's company, 
 which reinforced the army at Ticonderoga in the summer of 
 1777. He was the captain of a company in the Rhode Island 
 campaign, in the summer of 1778. He was born in Sherborn, 
 Mass., Aug. 24, 1740, the son of Joseph Twitchell, Esq., a 
 prominent citizen of that town, who bought much land in Dub- 
 lin. Samuel Twitchell removed to Dublin in 1762, and settled 
 on the seventh lot of the first range, on a spot near the resi- 
 dence of the late Jacob Gleason, and operated a saw and grist- 
 mill on the site of the later mill near this place. In 1769, he 
 bought the water privilege at the outlet of Thorndike Pond. 
 He was prominent in the affairs of Dublin, having served sev- 
 eral times as moderator, selectman, and representative. He 
 was also a coroner and a justice of the peace. He also appears 
 to have been a member of the Dublin church from its organiza- 
 tion in 1772. His father, who was an agent of the early proprie- 
 tors, was instrumental in bringing about twenty-seven of the 
 early settlers from Sherborn to Dublin. Samuel Twitchell was 
 a lieutenant in the army, from June 28, 1772, to July 2 of the 
 same year, in Capt. John Mellen's company, in Col. Enoch 
 
DUBLIN IN THE LATER WARS 195 
 
 Hale's regiment. He was succeeded by Oliver Wright of Marl- 
 borough. In August, 1778, Samuel Twitchell was the captain 
 of a company, from Dublin and other towns, in Col. Enoch 
 Hale's regiment, which participated in the Rhode Island cam- 
 paign. It is believed that Capt. Twitchell had been an officer 
 in the Dublin military company previous to 1777. It is stated 
 that he was the third commander of that company, and that 
 his successor was commissioned, Feb. 16, 1786. Capt. Twitchell 
 died in Dublin, April 16, 1820. He was the father of the distin- 
 guished physician and surgeon of Keene, Amos Twitchell, M.D. 
 
 59. Stephen Twitchell was the son of Gershom Twitchell, 
 Sr., who came to Dublin from Sherborn, Mass., and was prob- 
 ably a relative of the two preceding soldiers. Stephen was a 
 private in Capt. Abijah Smith's company. He was serving in 
 New York in September of 1776, and was in Capt. John Mel- 
 len's company in the summer of 1777. He was married in 1779, 
 and lived a few years in a house that stood at the south end of 
 the twelfth lot of the ninth range (now in the town of Harris- 
 ville), where Jonathan Townsend was living in 1853. His first 
 three children were born at that place. He moved from town 
 and we have not learned the place and the date of his death. 
 
 60. Abraham Van North served in Capt. Samuel Blodgett's 
 company, in the campaign of 1777. On January 10, of that year, 
 he was reported to have been absent from that company, which 
 was in Col. Nathan Hale's regiment. He was in the seventh 
 company of Col. George Reid's regiment in 1780. We have 
 been unable to trace his later history. There is no deed on 
 record which shows that he ever owned any land in Dublin. 
 
 61. John Wight, whose name appears on the Revolutionary 
 Rolls as John Wright, served at Bennington and Stillwater, 
 in the company of Capt. Salmon, in the summer of 1777. He 
 enhsted again, July 15, 1779, for a year, and received £60 as a 
 bounty. He came from Medfield, Mass., and settled (according 
 to the History of Dublin) upon the seventeenth lot of the eighth 
 range, probably a little west of the Adams house, where traces 
 of a cellar are visible. He is said to have removed from Dublin, 
 and we have found no record of his death. 
 
 62. Samuel Williams was a private soldier in the company 
 of Capt. Mellen, in the summer of 1777. He was an early set- 
 tler in Dublin, upon the twentieth lot of the fifth range, at the 
 corner of two roads, where B. P. Hardy afterwards lived. His 
 four children whose births are recorded in Dublin were all mar- 
 ried to children of Thomas White, another early Dublin settler. 
 
196 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The Whites moved to Cornish, N. H., where the Williams 
 family possibly went. This soldier is probably the Samuel 
 Williams, who died, March 23, 1799, in his 47th year, accord- 
 ing to the headstone in Dublin cemetery. 
 
 63. Eben Woods received coat money in the company of 
 Capt. Samuel Richards, and regiment of Col. John Stark, in 
 1775, and was in the company of Capt. John Mellen, with 
 other Dublin men, in the summer of 1777. We have no record 
 of his later life, or of his death. There is no recorded deed that 
 shows that he ever purchased any land in Dublin. 
 
 64. Oliver Wright signed the Association Test in 1776, in 
 Dublin, and was on the tax-list for 1777. He was in the com- 
 pany of Capt. John Mellen in 1777. This nameoccurs frequently 
 upon the Revolutionary Rolls, in connection with Alstead, Hol- 
 lis, and Marlborough. The references are not always to the 
 same person probably, and it is difficult to discriminate. This 
 Oliver Wright did not purchase land in Dublin, so far as records 
 show. He is undoubtedly the same person who purchased land 
 in Marlborough in 1778, who was known as Lieut. Oliver 
 Wright, who passed the remainder of his days in that town, 
 and died there, May 20, 1820. He had a large family of chil- 
 dren. The Oliver Wright of Keene, an early settler, came there 
 from Amherst, N. H. 
 
 Rev. Joseph Farrar, the first pastor of the First Congre- 
 gational (Unitarian) Church of Dublin, was a chaplain in the 
 Revolution. He had then left Dublin, but it is understood that 
 he had enlisted in the army before he could conveniently move 
 his effects. 
 
 Other persons, that afterwards resided in Dublin, were sol- 
 diers of the Revolution. The names of such, preserved by tra- 
 dition, are: Benjamin Smith, Alexander Fames (last name 
 then more frequently spelled Emes), David Townsend, Solo- 
 mon Piper, Francis Appleton, Abijah Richardson, Richard 
 Phillips, Asa Fairbanks, John Russell, Silas Pierce, Jo- 
 siAH Allen, and Joshua Farnum. John Wight, 1st, as stated 
 by his son Jonas Wight, was at Bennington at the time of the 
 battle, but was not in the action, being employed at the time 
 in nursing the sick. At a subsequent period, he again went into 
 the army, and remained one year, but was in no battle. 
 
 John Caldwell, a brother-in-law of Wm. Strongman, en- 
 listed, April or May, 1775, and was accredited to Dublin. 
 He was probably stopping at Mr. Strongman's. He died at 
 Northfield, Mass., Nov. 15, 1840. 
 
DUBLIN IN THE LATER WARS

 WAR OF 1812 WITH GREAT BRITAIN 
 
 A large majority of the voters in Dublin were opposed to 
 this war. Only one person, George Washington Phillips, 
 is known to have voluntarily enlisted as a soldier. He died in 
 the service before the close of the war. He lived on the twelfth 
 lot of the fifth range, at what was later known as the Richard 
 Phillips place, south of the lake. 
 
 A draft of soldiers being ordered for the defence of Ports- 
 mouth, the town voted "to make the soldiers' wages up to $15 
 per month, including what they receive from the government." 
 The following persons received the sums annexed to their names 
 for this service : — 
 
 Asa Fiske, for his son going to Portsmouth as a soldier ....

 The list here published, taken from the former History of 
 Dublin, is corrected according to the directions on page 424 
 of that work. 
 
 The British naval force did not attack Portsmouth, as was 
 apprehended; and the soldiers, after a few weeks, returned to 
 their homes. 
 
 WAR WITH MEXICO IN THE POLK ADMINISTRATION 
 
 We do not learn from the records that Dublin had any part 
 in the war with Mexico, which was fought during the adminis- 
 tration of President Polk. That war was very unpopular in 
 New England. It was the prevailing impression that the object 
 of the war, from the administration standpoint, was the an- 
 nexation of territory for the purpose of creating more slave 
 states. Opposition to the institution of slavery was rapidly 
 
198 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 increasing in the North, hence this war was bitterly opposed 
 in this section of the country. The result of the war was the 
 annexation to the United States of a large amount of territory 
 formerly belonging to Mexico, but, with the exception of Texas, 
 owing to the determined opposition of Northern men in con- 
 gress, no portion of the domain thus annexed ever became 
 slave territory, and the Civil War brought an end to the insti- 
 tution of human slavery in this country. 
 
 CIVIL WAR 
 
 The service which Dublin rendered our country in the Civil 
 War was in the highest degree creditable to the town. We find 
 that 115 men were credited to the quota of Dublin, of whom 
 sixty-one volunteered from the town, and fifty-four were pro- 
 cured from outside, partly by the selectmen, partly as substi- 
 tutes for drafted men, and partly as substitutes for men who 
 volunteered to provide them. The men who went from 
 Dublin were uniformly brave and patriotic, and steadfastly 
 performed their duties. Of those who had only a nominal 
 residence in Dublin when they enlisted, and of those who were 
 procured as substitutes, there were some, as naturally might 
 be expected, who were scheming to obtain money for their 
 enlistments, and who were cowardly and deserted their com- 
 panies. They were hirelings and did not represent that sterling 
 quality of character to be found in the old families of Dublin. 
 
 We cannot undertake to give the general history of the Civil 
 War, which now may be found in so many valuable publica- 
 tions. We can give only the part taken by Dublin in that great 
 struggle, and even that honorable record must, for lack of space, 
 be condensed much more than we could wish. 
 
 We will give first the roll of those who enlisted from Dublin. 
 The notices are necessarily brief. It would have been an agree- 
 able task to have added personal details of the experiences of 
 these soldiers, but it would have taken hundreds of pages to 
 do so, if justice were done to each soldier. Our thanks are ten- 
 dered to Hon. Henry Dwight Learned for valuable papers 
 which have lightened our task in preparing the following rolls 
 of soldiers.

DUBLIN IN THE LATER WARS 203 
 
 are taken from the History of the Third Regiment, and are 
 doubtless authentic. His name does not appear in Ayhng's 
 Register of the N. H. Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the

 Of the sixty-one soldiers here enumerated those who were 
 from actual Dublin families were brave, loyal to their country, 
 and faithful in their service, in many cases to the point of death. 
 The list includes some who were employed in town for the time 
 
206 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 being, as farm hands or as mill operatives in Harrisville. On 
 the list are the names of two who deserted, according to the 
 official records. They were not properly to be reckoned as 
 Dublin men. We know little or nothing concerning them, be- 
 yond the records of their enlistments and desertions. They were 
 strangers and adventurers, whose misdemeanors cannot di- 
 minish the honor and glory which will ever be attached to the 
 honorable record of the real Dublin soldiers, and cannot stain 
 the honor of an excellent town of which they formed no part. 
 
 Thirty-two men were procured for the service, by the town, 
 through the selectmen. Among them were as good men as 
 could be found, but the average was much below that of the 
 men who represented the old Dublin families. Of the thirty- 
 two nine were deserters, two mysteriously disappeared, or, at 
 least, there is no information concerning them, and another was 
 under arrest for desertion, and absent, when his company was 
 mustered out, and the official registers supply no further in- 
 formation concerning him. These twelve men constitute a little 
 more than thirty-seven jper cent of the whole thirty-two. 
 Others in the list had honorable records.

 The preceding thirty-two men were not Dublin residents, 
 properly speaking, and, with a few honorable exceptions, they 
 did not measure up to the standard of Dublin men. More than 
 a third of them deserted their regiments, others were inefficient, 
 and less than a half-dozen proved to be first-class soldiers. This 
 is no discredit to the town, which made the patriotic effort to 
 procure them for the service. 
 
 In the draft of September 2, 1863, twenty-three men were 
 drawn, and, in the draft of May 1864, four more men were 
 drawn. The following thirteen men, all drawn in the former 
 draft, were exempted: Charles H. Heald, Melville Bowers, 
 Aaron Smith, Harvey J. Ware, Charles J. Smith, Luke F. 
 Richardson, Josiah M. Darling, William H. Jones, John 
 A. Upton, Collins C. Robbins (who had formerly been a 
 member of Co. G, 13th N. H. Vols.; see No. 53 in the soldier 
 list), Henry J. Farwell, Alanson Holt (usually called Lan- 
 son Holt), Thomas Murray. One man, Lyman P. Beal, paid 
 a commutation of $300.00. Another man, W^illiam C. Ken- 
 yon, deserted, or did not report for examination at the oflSce of 
 the provost marshall. The following eight men of the former 
 draft furnished substitutes: David W. Kinsman, Charles H. 
 Smith, William Parker, Joel .Franklin Mason, Francis 
 A. Morse, Calvin Clark Gowing, Hiram Barker, and 
 Charles W. Fiske. The following four men of the second draft

 substitute for Joel Franklin Mason; mus. in, Sept. 30, 1863, as 
 a private, in Co. A, 5th N. H. Vols.; transferred to the U. S. 
 Navy, April 20, 1864; as an ordinary seaman; deserted, July 
 29, 1864, from the U. S. Ship Anacostia. 
 
 95. Richard W. Blodgett, born in Massachusetts, ae. 26, 
 substitute for Abbott Burpee; mus. in. May 31, 1864, as a 
 private, in Co. A, 6th N. H. Vols.; wounded, April 2, 1865, at 
 Petersburg, Va. ; discharged for disability, at Philadelphia, Pa., 
 June 17, 1865. 
 
 96. Foley Carroll, born in Ireland, ae. 27, substitute for 
 William Parker; mus. in, Sept. 23, 1863, as a private, in the 
 1st N. H. Vol. Light Battery; deserted, Aug. 25, 1864, near 
 Petersburg, Va.; apprehended about Nov. 28, 1864; dishonor- 
 ably discharged, Jan. 25, 1865, at Alexandria, Va. He after- 
 wards lived at Port Costa, Cal. 
 
 97. James Cunningham, born in Canada, ae. 23, substitute 
 for Benjamin F. Sherwin; mus. in, May 31, 1864, as a private, 
 in the 6th N. H. Vols., but deserted, June 9, 1864, at New 
 London, Conn., before he reached his regiment, and had not, 
 of course, been assigned to any company. 
 
 98. George Daniels, substitute for Calvin Clarke Gowing, 
 was probably the George Daniels, formerly of Keene, who en- 
 listed as a private in the Cheshire Light Guards, April 25, 1861, 
 at Keene, but was discharged by order of the Governor, June 
 20, 1861. According to the manuscript list of the Dublin sol- 
 diers, prepared by the town committee, in 1870, a George Dan- 
 iels, probably the same man, was mus. in, Sept. 25, 1863, as a 
 private, in Co. F, 14th N. H. Vols. Neither Ayling's Register 
 nor the history of the regiment makes any mention of such a 
 man in the 14th regiment. Ayling alludes to the enlistment in 
 1861, which we have mentioned. The manuscript of the com- 
 mittee notes that there was no account of this man. It is very 
 likely that he disappeared before he had joined the company for 
 which he was intended. 
 
 99. Patrick Hickey, born in Ireland, ae. 26, substitute for 
 Hiram Barker; mus. in, Sept. 26, 1863, as a private, in Co. F, 
 14th N. H. Vols.; deserted, March 18, 1864, at New York City. 
 
212 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 100. Francois LaPointe (in English Francis LaPoint), born 
 in Canada, ae. 21, substitute for David W, Kinsman; mus. in, 
 Sept. 26, 1863, as a private, in Co. H, 14th N. H. Vols.; mus. 
 out, July 8, 1865. 
 
 101. William H. Marble, native of Canada, ae. 26, sub- 
 stitute for Cornelius K. Towne; mus. in, June 14, 1864, as a 
 private, in Co. A, 9th N. H. Vols.; deserted, July 14, 1864, near 
 Petersburg, Va.; gained from desertion. May 24, 1865; trans- 
 ferred to Co. A, 6th N. H. Vols., June 1, 1865; mus. out, July 
 17, 1865. 
 
 102. Patrick McDermott, born in Ireland, ae, 26, substi- 
 tute for Francis A. Morse; mus. in, Sept. 25, 1863, as a private, 
 in Co. B, 5th N. H. Vols;, wounded, June 16, 1864, near Peters- 
 burg, Va.; wounded again, March 25, 1865, at Fort Stedman, 
 Va.; discharged, June 27, 1865, at Philadelphia, Pa. After the 
 war, he lived in Worcester, Mass. 
 
 103. William Stoddard, born in Connecticut, ae. 21, sub- 
 stitute for Evander French; mus. in. May 31, 1864, as a private, 
 in Co. C, 6th N. H. Vols.; discharged for disabihty, July 10, 
 1865. 
 
 104. George Sumner, born in New Jersey, ae. 21, substitute 
 for Charles H. Smith; mus. in, Sept. 25, 1863, as a private, in 
 Co. G, 14th N. H. Vols.; deserted, Nov. 4, 1863, at Washington, 
 D. C. 
 
 105. George Tripp was a substitute for Charles W. Fiske. 
 Ayling's Register has no notice of any soldier who can be iden- 
 tified with this George Tripp. He notes other George Tripps, 
 who cannot possibly be the same as this man. The manuscript 
 list of soldiers prepared by the Dublin town committee, in 1870, 
 mentions the fact that such a person was the substitute for Mr. 
 Fiske, but gives no further information. It cannot be that he 
 joined any New Hampshire organization connected with the 
 war, as there would have been some record of such a fact. 
 
 Of the preceding twelve substitutes six deserted, two are not 
 noticed on the records, and four did faithful service. 
 
 Ten Dublin men patriotically volunteered to procure sub- 
 stitutes for the army. They were: Samuel Carroll Derby 
 (then a student, now a professor of Latin, in the Ohio State 
 University, at Columbus, O.), Alfred T. Colony, George 
 W^ Bemis, Charles W. Gowing, Henry A. Adams, David 
 TowNSEND, S. Dana Bemis, Sylvester T. Symonds, George 
 W. Mason, and James Appleton Mason.

 4. Recruits Voluntarily Procured by Dublin Men 
 
 106. William Bogan, born in Ireland, ae. 22, procured by 
 George W. Bemis; enlisted, miis. in, and received at the draft 
 rendezvous, on Aug. 10, 1864. He was sent, as a private, to the 
 5th N. H. Vols., but nothing was heard from him afterwards. 
 He had not been assigned to any company. 
 
 107. Peter Coolum (as the name is spelled on Ayling's Reg- 
 ister), born in Canada, ae. 40, procured by Charles W. Gow- 
 ing; enlisted and was mus. in, Aug. 11, 1864, as a private, in 
 Co. H, 5th N. H. Vols.; wounded, April 7, 1865, at Farmville, 
 Va.; died of wounds, April 30, 1865, at Annapohs, Md. 
 
 108. Michael Corey, born in Ireland, ae. 26, procured by 
 George W. Mason; enlisted and mus. in, Dec. 13, 1864, as a 
 private, in Co. I, 3d N. H. Vols.; deserted, Feb. 27, 1865.- 
 
 109. Nathaniel Hancock, a colored man, born in North 
 Carolina, calling his age 26, procured by Sylvester T. Sy- 
 MONDs; enlisted and mus. in, Dec. 10, 1864, as a private for the 
 21st Inf. of U. S. Colored Troops; reported on the roll dated, 
 Dec. 20, 1864, as sent to his regiment, but nothing more was 
 heard of him. 
 
 110. James Hassett, born in Ireland, ae. 18, procured by 
 David Townsend; enlisted and mus. in, Aug. 9, 1864, as a 
 private, in Co. C, 5th N. H. Vols.; deserted, March 18, 1865, 
 at Beverly, N. J. This account, taken from Ayling's Register, is 
 doubtless authentic. It differs slightly from the account upon 
 the town committee's manuscript. 
 
 111. August Hervean (as spelled in Ayling's Register, but 
 August Hirtz on the town committee's manuscript), born in 
 France, ae. 25, procured by Henry A. Adams; enlisted and 
 mus. in, Aug. 9, 1864, as a private, in Co. C, 5th N. H. Vols.; 
 captured, Feb. 7, 1865, while on picket duty. No further in- 
 formation concerning him. 
 
 112. John Kelley, 2d, born in Ireland, ae. 24, procured 
 by James Appleton Mason; enlisted and mus. in, Dec. 13, 
 1864, as a private, in Co. I, 3d N. H. Vols.; deserted, Feb. 28, 
 1865. 
 
 113. William Miller, born in Canada, ae. 22, procured by 
 Alfred T. Colony; enlisted and mus. in, Sept. 3, 1864; de- 
 serted, Oct. 10, 1864, near Petersburg, Va.; a private in Co. F, 
 5th N. H. Vols. 
 
 114. John Peter (in French Jean LaPierre), born in 
 France, ae. 21, procured by S. Dana Bemis; enlisted and mus. 
 
214 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 in, Dec. 1, 1863, as a private, in Co. H, 2d N. H. Vols.; mus. 
 out, Dec. 19, 1865. 
 
 115. John Thomas, procured by Samuel Carroll Derby. 
 We can find no information concerning this man. Ayling's Reg- 
 ister has notices of several men of that name, but none which 
 answers the purpose here. The town committee's manuscript is 
 silent respecting this man's service. The natural inference is 
 that he took the money paid for his enlistment and disappeared 
 without reporting at the oflBce of the recruiting station to be 
 mus. in. 
 
 To have ascertained the names of all natives and former 
 residents of Dublin who served in the Civil War would have 
 been the work of years, with no positive certainty of obtaining a 
 complete list. We could not venture upon such a task. The 
 manuscript prepared by the town committee, in 1870, contains 
 the following records: 
 
 5. Soldiers Mentioned by a Town Committee in 1870 
 
 116. Elbridge J. GowiNG, native of Dublin, ae. 23; enlisted 
 Sept. 2, 1861, in Co. K, 8th Pennsylvania Cav. Corps; after 
 participating in several battles and skirmishes, was taken 
 prisoner, at Sulphur Springs, Va., Oct. 12, 1863; remained near 
 Richmond, Va., until March 4, 1864, when he was sent to the 
 notorious prison at Andersonville, Ga., from which he was 
 released, April 28, 1865. When captured, he was an orderly 
 sergeant in command of his company. 
 
 117. George W. Warren, of an old Dublin family, born in 
 Peterborough, ae. 18; mus. in, Nov. 28, 1861, as a private, in 
 Co. E, 6th N. H. Vols.; melted by the heat at Bull Run, Va., 
 Aug. 29, 1862; died of diphtheria, at Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2, 
 1863. 
 
 We have found that it was practically impossible to obtain the 
 names of all the soldiers of the Civil War who have lived in 
 Dublin since they left the army or navy. While Harrisville was 
 a part of Dublin, many such men worked in the mills whose 
 names could not well be ascertained at this time. Others have 
 lived for longer or shorter lengths of time in different parts of 
 the town. To do no injustice to anybody, it has been deemed 
 best not to attempt to record the names of soldiers who have 
 come to Dublin since the war. To this rule we make an excep- 
 tion which will meet with universal approval, in the case of 
 Dr. Henry H. Smith, who lived many years in Dublin, was an 
 
DUBLIN IN THE LATER WARS 215 
 
 honored physician, and always active and deeply interested in 
 "Memorial Day" exercises, as well as in all matters pertaining 
 to the welfare of the old soldiers. 
 
 118. Henry Hilliard Smith, M.D., born in Liverpool, Ohio, 
 June 16, 1837; became a resident of Claremont, N. H., in 
 early boyhood; at the age of 26, he was appointed Acting Assist- 
 ant Surgeon in the U. S. Navy, Nov. 20, 1863; served on the 
 U. S. Ship Thomas Freeborn; resigned, April 21, 1865; made 
 Dublin his residence, where, after a long and faithful practice, 
 he died, Oct. 3, 1911. 
 
 There were 115 men in the war accredited to Dublin. Sixty- 
 one of these volunteered from the town. Of these, eleven were 
 killed in battle, two died of wounds received in battle, seven 
 died in the service of disease, one was drowned, and two died 
 at home of disease contracted in the service, making in all 
 twenty-three deaths. Six were wounded, but not mortally; 
 three were discharged on account of wounds; six were dis- 
 charged for disability; three were taken prisoners; and two 
 (neither of them properly belonging to Dublin) deserted. The 
 selectmen procured the services of thirty- two men from abroad. 
 Of these, two were killed in battle, and one died of disease, 
 making three deaths. One was wounded slightly; two were dis- 
 charged for disability; three were captured; seven deserted; 
 and three, for various causes, were not accounted for officially. 
 Twenty-seven Dublin men were drafted. Of these, thirteen 
 were exempted, twelve furnished substitutes, one paid a com- 
 mutation of three hundred dollars, and one ran away. Of the 
 twelve substitutes, two were wounded, seven deserted, one was 
 discharged for disability, and two were mustered out. Of the 
 ten men voluntarily procured by citizens, one died of wounds, 
 four deserted, one was captured, one absent sick at the mus- 
 tering out, and two not accounted for, all of the last three being 
 probably deserters. The number of men credited to Dublin 
 who resided elsewhere was fifty-four. Of these, two were 
 killed in battle, one died of wounds, one died of disease, eight- 
 een are known to have deserted, four were taken prisoners, 
 three were wounded but not mortally, three were reported as 
 discharged for disability, one was reported on the muster-out 
 roll as absent sick, five were not officially accounted for (the 
 last six were probably deserters), and sixteen were mustered 
 out. 
 
 Of the 115 men credited to the quota of Dublin, thirteen were 
 killed in battle, three died of wounds received in battle, one was 
 
216 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 drowned, eight died in the service of disease, two died at home 
 of disease contracted in the service, nine were wounded but not 
 mortally, twelve were discharged for wounds or disability, 
 seven were taken prisoners, twenty were known to have de- 
 serted, six others absent or unaccounted for were probably 
 deserters, and about fifty-one or fifty-two (including some re- 
 ported as wounded) were honorably discharged at the close of 
 the war. 
 
 The town of Dublin, aided by individuals and associations, 
 has erected a plain, but beautiful and appropriate, monument 
 to the memory of her valiant soldiers who gave their lives in the 
 defence of our country. It is placed at the junction of the vil- 
 lage street with the road (now known as "Monument Road") 
 leading to the foot of the long pond below Harrisville. 
 
 The monument was dedicated, October 27, 1870. The fol- 
 lowing account of the exercises at the dedication is taken prin- 
 cipally from a report in the New Hampshire Sentinel of the 
 following week: 
 
 "On Thursday, October 27, 1870, the citizens of Dublin dedicated 
 a monument, erected the past season, to the memory of the soldiers of 
 that town who fell in the War of the Rebellion. Although the morning 
 was cold and windy, a large concourse of people gathered to witness 
 the interesting ceremonies and testify their respect for the memory 
 of those whose names are inscribed upon the tablets of the monument 
 as having 'died that their country might live.' 
 
 "A procession was formed at the Unitarian church, under the mar- 
 shalship of Joseph Willard Powers, Esq., and, escorted by the 
 Peterborough Cornet Band, marched to the monument, where 
 Walter J. Greenwood, Esq., president of the day, in a few appro- 
 priate remarks, introduced Hon. Thomas Fisk, chairman of the build- 
 ing committee, who made a short speech and gave, in a few words, a 
 history of the troops furnished by the town to the armies of the Re- 
 public. The whole number furnished was 115. Of this number, sixty- 
 one were volunteers, natives [or former residents] of Dublin, of whom 
 twenty -five [including one who enlisted from another town in the state, 
 and one who died three years after the war] died in battle, or of wounds, 
 or of disease, and whose names are inscribed upon the monument. 
 Of the volunteers he said, ' there was no record that one from Dublin 
 [who properly belonged to the town] ever deserted, or committed any 
 crime in the army,' a record of which Dublin may well be proud. 
 
 "The monument is a beautiful shaft of Vermont marble, with 
 appropriate tablets at its base for the inscriptions. The base is of 
 Fitzwilliam granite, and it is surrounded by a walk of cement, and 
 the grounds are graded for a grassy slope. 
 
DUBLIN IN THE LATER WARS 217 
 
 "Upon returning to the church, the national hymn was sung by the 
 choir, a selection from the Scriptures read and a dedicatory prayer 
 offered by Rev. George Matthias Rice, pastor of the Unitarian 
 church, followed by an original hymn written for the occasion, and an 
 oration by Brevet Major General Simon Goodell Griffin of Keene. 
 The oration was chaste and elegant in language, and filled with ap- 
 propriate reminiscences of the march, the camp, and the field, which 
 flushed the cheeks of the audience with pride, or dimmed their eyes 
 with tears, as the remembrances of their lost friends and comrades 
 rose before them, and won for the orator the applause of many who 
 said they knew that 'he could fight well, but did not know that he 
 could speak well.' [Gen. Griffin was a native of the neighboring town 
 of Nelson and, in the organizations which he commanded in the war, 
 were many Dublin boys.] After the oration, speeches were made by 
 the invited guests, among whom were Col. Tileston A. Barker of 
 Westmoreland, Col. Solon A. Carter, of Keene, George B. Twitch- 
 ell, M.D., of Keene [nephew of the late distinguished Amos Twitch- 
 ell, M.D., of Keene, and a native of Dublin], Hon. John Henry 
 Elliot of Keene, and Albert Smith, M.D., of Peterborough. 
 
 "At the close of the exercises in the church, the company retired to 
 the vestry, where a collation had been prepared by the ladies, which 
 did them great credit, and to which ample justice was done by all. 
 The whole occasion was one of enjoyment, saddened to many by 
 memories of the past, which were alleviated by the consciousness of 
 duties performed, and the brightening hopes of the future." 
 
 The following is a copy of the inscriptions upon the monu- 
 ment.

 can War of 1898-99. One man, Albert Andrew Preston, 
 now living (1916) upon the fifth lot of the fifth range, in the 
 more easterly of the two houses upon that lot, a native of 
 Greenville, N. H., enlisted for that war, in his twenty -first 
 year, in Co. B, 6th Mass. Regt. He saw service in Cuba and 
 Porto Rico. He was in no battle, but participated in some 
 skirmishing in Porto Rico.

 Ethan Allen, Vt. He was in three battles: Calbayog, March 
 26, 1900; Samar, on the same day; and a second fight at Samar, 
 on March 27, 1900. He was discharged, May 20, 1901, and 
 resides at 218 Purchase St., Milford, Mass. 
 
CHAPTER VII 
 
 Ecclesiastical History 
 First Congregational (Unitarian) Church 
 
 1 HE ecclesiastical records of Dublin are deficient. The Rev. 
 Joseph Farrar left no book in which the proceedings of the 
 church during his ministry were recorded. We are obliged, 
 therefore, to depend upon the records of the town, and upon 
 papers which were preserved by Deacon Eli Morse. The in- 
 vitation to Mr. Farrar was given before a church was organized. 
 The committee chosen "to treat with Mr. Farrar" were Eli 
 Morse, Moses Adams, William Greenwood, Joseph Twitchell, 
 and Levi Partridge. The whole population of Dublin at that 
 time, Oct. 17, 1771, must have been less than 300, — probably 
 not more than 250; for, in the year 1775, it was only 305; 
 and some new families, in the meantime, had settled in the 
 town. The answer of Mr. Farrar is dated at New Ipswich, 
 Feb. 3, 1772. The following is a copy of the same: — 
 
 "To the Inhabitants of the Town of Dublin. 
 
 "Gentlemen, — Whereas, on the 17th day of October, 1771, you 
 were pleased to give me an invitation to settle with you in the gospel- 
 ministry, and that being an affair of the greatest importance, I have 
 therefore taken the same into serious and deliberate consideration, 
 seeking to God for that wisdom which is profitable to direct. And 
 because, in the multitude of counsellors, there is safety, I have there- 
 fore taken the advice of my reverend fathers in the ministry, and have 
 come to a determination with regard to my settlement with you, and 
 accordingly do accept of your friendly invitation. And now, sirs, 
 sensible of my own insufficiency for such an arduous, important, and 
 glorious work, I desire my dependence may be upon Him whose wis- 
 dom, grace, and strength are sufficient for me; and, being fully per- 
 suaded of your benevolence and good-will towards me, I beg that 
 you would strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, that 
 I may have all that prudence, discretion, wisdom, grace, and strength, 
 which are necessary to have my deportment decent and regular, my 
 conversation as becomes the gospel, and my public ministrations and 
 labors profitable and instructive. Cease not to pray for me that I 
 may be qualified and adorned with every Christian grace and virtue, 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 221 
 
 and every ministerial gift; and that, by hearty fidelity in my labors, 
 I may have your cordial affections attached to me, be instrumental of 
 converting many souls, and at last receive the reward of a faithful 
 laborer, and rejoice with you forever in the kingdom of glory. I shall 
 conclude, wishing you all outward prosperity, especially that your 
 souls may be in health and prosper, that you may always enjoy the 
 divine presence and conduct, in all your proceedings maintaining the 
 unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, — that you may all come in 
 the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a 
 perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. 
 In token whereof, I subscribe. 
 
 Your sincere friend, 
 
 Joseph Farrar." 
 
 " P. S. — I desire this may be read in public. And I desire, likewise, 
 to know whether the people of Dublin are willing that I should be 
 allowed two or three sabbaths in a year, to visit my friends at a' dis- 
 tance with greater conveniency, if I should settle with you." 
 
 The above document, in the handwriting of Mr. Farrar, may

 At a town-meeting, March 3, 1772, "Voted to have the ordi- 
 nation the tenth day of June next. Voted to send to the follow- 
 ing churches to attend the ordination, viz.: the church in Lin- 
 coln, the church in Weston, the church in Groton, the church 
 in New Ipswich, the church in Sherborn, the church in Monad- 
 nock No. 4 (Fitz William)." 
 
 According to the above vote, Mr. Farrar was ordained on 
 the tenth day of June, 1772. What pastors and delegates were 
 present, who preached the sermon and performed the other 
 services of the occasion, is not known. 
 
 A church was organized on the same day of the ordination. 
 There is no record of the names of the members. The following 
 is a copy of their covenant : — 
 
 "A Covenant, which sundry church-members, inhabitants of the 
 town of Dublin, entered into at their embodying into a distinct 
 church : — 
 
 " We do, under a believing sense of our unworthiness of such a favor, 
 and unfitness for such a business, yet apprehending ourselves to be 
 called of God to put ourselves in a way of church-communion together, 
 and to seek the settlement of all the gospel institutions among us, do 
 therefore, in order thereunto, and for the better promoting thereof, 
 believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for help, covenant as follows : — 
 
222 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 " 1. We profess to believe the Sacred Scriptures of the Old and New 
 Testament to be the word of God, and the rule of our faith and man- 
 ners. 
 
 " 2. We do also combine to walk together as a particular church of 
 Christ according to all these holy rules of the gospel, prescribed to 
 such a society, so far as we do or shall understand the mind of God, 
 revealed to us in this respect. 
 
 " 3. We do recognize the covenant of grace, in which we professedly 
 acknowledge ourselves devoted to the service of the only true God, 
 our Supreme Lord, and to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prophet, Priest, 
 and King of his church, unto the conduct of whose Spirit we submit 
 ourselves, and on whom alone we rely for pardon, grace, and glory; 
 to whom we bind ourselves in an everlasting covenant never to be 
 forgotten. 
 
 "4. We likewise give ourselves one unto another in the Lord, to 
 cleave to each other as fellow-members of one body in brotherly love 
 and holy watchfulness over one another for mutual edification, and 
 to submit ourselves to all the holy administrations appointed by Him 
 who is the Head of the church, dispensed according to the rules of the 
 gospel, and to give our steady attendance on all the public ordinances 
 of Christ's institutions, walking orderly as becometh saints. 
 
 "5. We do also acknowledge our posterity to be included with us in 
 the gospel covenant; and, blessing God for such a favor, do promise to 
 bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord with the 
 greatest care. 
 
 " 6. Further, we promise to be careful to procure the settlement and 
 continuance among us of such officer or officers as are appointed by 
 Christ, the Chief Shepherd, for the edification of his church, and ac- 
 cordingly to do our duty faithfully for their maintenance and encour- 
 agement, and to carry towards them as it becomes us. 
 
 "7. Finally, we do acknowledge and promise to preserve com- 
 munion with the orderly, regular, and faithful churches of Christ in 
 all such ways as we shall judge agreeable to the gospel. Now, the 
 good Lord be merciful unto us; and, as he hath put it into our hearts 
 thus to devote ourselves to him, may he pity and pardon our frailties, 
 humble us out of all carnal confidence, and keep it forever upon our 
 hearts to be faithful to him and to one another for his praise and our 
 everlasting good, for Christ Jesus his sake, to whom be glory for ever. 
 Amen." 
 
 The people of Dublin had preaching occasionally before the 
 town was incorporated. The earliest intimation that this was 
 the case is found in the following letter : — 
 
 "Keene, May 28, 1764.. 
 "To Mr. Thomas Morse. 
 
 " Sir, — I received yours this day, in which you desired me to inform 
 you when I can attend your lecture. I have considered it, and will 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 223 
 
 do my endeavor to wait on you next week, on Wednesday, at two 
 o'clock in the afternoon. 
 
 "I am. Sir, Yours, 
 
 Clement Sumner." 
 
 Mr. Sumner was the pastor of the church in Keene. It is 
 probable that other ministers in the vicinity preached, at dif- 
 ferent times, for the new settlers in Dublin. Having come from 
 towns in which the institutions of Christianity were main- 
 tained, they severely felt the deprivations to which they were 
 subjected, and they would not fail to secure a preacher as often 
 as possible; if not on the sabbath, yet on week-days. The 
 widow of Ivory Perry, when at the age of ninety-two, had a 
 distinct recollection of many events in the early history of the 
 town; and she said that the Rev. Mr. Locke of Sherborn rode 
 to Dublin on horseback in the autumn of 1767, and preached 
 on the sabbath at the house of Eli Morse; and that, on the 
 same day, he baptized a daughter of Mr. Morse, to whom the 
 name Sally, or Sarah, was given. Thaddeus Morse, Esq., a 
 son of Eli Morse, was, at that time, four or five years old; and 
 he was heard to say that he distinctly remembered the oc- 
 casion, and especially a question which he put to his mother, 
 after hearing some conversation about Mr. Locke's coming 
 there to preach. "I asked her," he said, "what do folks do 
 when they preach?" Mrs. Perry thought that a Mr. Williams 
 preached once or twice at the house of William Greenwood. 
 Mr. Farrar preached twelve sabbaths before he received an 
 invitation to settle. This is shown by a receipt in full, which 
 he gave to Thomas Morse and Henry Strongman. The amount 
 received was fourteen pounds eight shillings, or four dollars 
 per sabbath. 
 
 The salary voted to Mr. Farrar (£40, or $133.33) seems very 
 small when compared with the salaries of the present day. 
 But we know that money was more valuable at that period. By 
 an account book of Deacon Eli Morse, it appears that the Rev. 
 Joseph Farrar boarded for some time in his family, and the 
 charge per week was only four shillings. If other things were 
 proportionally as cheap as board, then Mr. Farrar's salary of 
 forty pounds, with the right to land, and the addition granted 
 as the town increased, would more than equal in real value 
 such salaries as are paid, at the present day, in towns whose 
 inhabitants are chiefly devoted to agriculture. 
 
 From the account given by those who lived at the period of 
 
224 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Mr. Farrar's ministry, he was considered as a man of more than 
 ordinary talents, and faithful in discharging the duties of his 
 office. But, after two or three years, his health became poor, 
 and he began to entertain strange fancies. He imagined that 
 he had persons in his flock, especially certain women, who were 
 plotting against him, or striving, by improper means, to mo- 
 nopolize his favorable regards. He erected a small house on his 
 lot of land, on or near the old Wait house now owned by the 
 Frothingham heirs, and for a time lived in it entirely alone. 
 He was not married during his ministry in Dublin. His mind, 
 however, became so impressed with the reality of his imagi- 
 nations that he introduced the subject into his public prayers 
 on the sabbath. This could not be borne without remonstrance 
 from some of his people, and a general dissatisfaction soon 
 prevailed. 
 
 After several town-meetings had been held, and votes passed, 
 as stated in the address, the church took up the subject; and, 
 at a meeting, Nov. 20, 1775, chose Deacon Eli Morse moderator. 
 
 "Then voted to call a council of churches to hear the difficulties 
 subsisting in the church, and to give advice. 
 
 "Voted to send to five churches, viz.: the church at New Ipswich, 
 the church at Swanzey, the church at Fitzwilliam, the church at 
 Sherborn, and the church at Temple. 
 
 "Then chose Deacon Eli Morse, Deacon Benjamin Learned, Joseph 
 Greenwood, William Greenwood, and Joseph Twitchell for a commit- 
 tee to send the letters missive to the churches above named, to pro- 
 vide entertainment for said council, and to lay the difficulties before 
 the council." 
 
 The council were to meet on the 6th of December, 1775; and, 
 on that day, three of the pastors, with seven delegates, met, 
 and the following is the result; the original of which, in the 
 handwriting of Rev. Mr. Goddard of Swanzey, has been pre- 
 served : — 
 
 "The churches of Christ in New Ipswich, Swanzey, Fitzwilliam, by 
 their elders and delegates, and the church of Temple by their delegates, 
 having met at Dublin, at the house of Mr. Joseph Greenwood, in con- 
 sequence of letters missive from the brethren of the church in Dub- 
 lin, — previous to their forming into an ecclesiastical council, desired 
 the Rev. Mr. Farrar of Dublin, and the church under his pastoral 
 care, to try if they could come into measures for a mutual council; 
 and, upon the brethren exhibiting their articles of grievance against 
 the Rev. Mr. Farrar, and signifying that they were all the matters of 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 225 
 
 complaint they had against him, he readily agreed to join with them 
 in requesting the churches' now met to form into an ecclesiastical 
 council, and take them under their consideration, and give their ad- 
 vice; and that the council should be to all intents as though Mr. 
 Farrar had joined with the church in sending out the letters missive. 
 Whereupon — 
 
 "The churches aforesaid, at the mutual desire of the pastor and 
 church in Dublin, formed into an ecclesiastical council, on December 
 6th, 1775, and chose the Rev. Mr. Farrar of New Ipswich moderator, 
 and the Rev. Mr. Goddard of Swanzey scribe; and, after solemn and 
 fervent prayer to the Father of lights and Head of all gracious influ- 
 ences, for light and direction, took into their serious consideration the 
 unhappy uneasiness subsisting between the reverend pastor and the 
 church, and, after a full hearing and careful examination, came into 
 the following resolves : — 
 
 "L It is the opinion of the council, that, in the instances com- 
 plained of, the Rev. Mr. Farrar has given the church real cause for 
 uneasiness; but that it has proceeded from bodily disorders, which have 
 greatly affected his mind, and not from any moral cause. 
 
 "2. Although the brethren of the church may not, in this time of 
 difficulty and temptation, in the particular instance of calling this 
 council, have acted with so much prudence and caution as we could 
 have wished; yet, it is our opinion, that, making proper allowances 
 for infirmities and temptations, and duly exercising Christian charity, 
 there is nothing but what may be mutually overlooked and forgiven 
 both by the pastor and the people. 
 
 " 3. Although under present circumstances we cannot think it would 
 be either for the glory of God, or for the comfort and edification either 
 of the Rev. Mr. Farrar, or the people of God in this place, for him to 
 proceed in his administrations unto them at present; yet, considering 
 the sacredness and importance of the relation between a minister of 
 Christ and his people, we cannot think that that relation ought ever 
 to he rashly and hastily dissolved; and, considering the cause from 
 which we apprehend the uneasiness has arisen, we cannot but hope, 
 that, by the blessing of God in the use of proper medicines, Mr. 
 Farrar may be restored to health and usefulness again, and he and 
 his people be mutually happy in their present relation. 
 
 "Therefore, we would seriously advise, that the Rev. Mr. Farrar 
 be suspended from the exercise of his ministerial office in this place 
 for the space of six months; and, in the meantime, we would earnestly 
 recommend to him that he would apply himself to some able and ex- 
 perienced physician. At the same time, we would seriously advise and 
 earnestly recommend it to the beloved flock, that they also, for the 
 above said term, continue in the exercise of that Christian patience, 
 charity, and moderation, under their present troubles, which they 
 have heretofore exercised, in general, to a very remarkable and com- 
 mendable degree; hoping that their reverend pastor may be restored 
 
226 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 to health and a sound mind, and that their present uneasiness may 
 be fully removed; but, if the present uneasiness should remain at the 
 end of that term, and matters of difficulty not be accommodated, we 
 then advise that the Rev. Mr. Farrar ask, and the church vote, a 
 dissolution of the relation, under the moderation of the two senior 
 pastors of this council, who are thereupon to declare the relation 
 dissolved. 
 
 "Upon the whole, we can't but sincerely lament the unhappy diffi- 
 culties which have sprung up to the disturbance of that peace which 
 has been happily enjoyed in this place heretofore; and would recom- 
 mend it to all who are immediately concerned herein, to be much in 
 the exercise of prayer and watchfulness; that they mutually study the 
 things that make for peace, and wherewith one may edify another; 
 praying that the God of peace would enrich them with all spiritual 
 blessings, and promote the interests of his kingdom among them.

 "This result being published to the pastor and church in Dublin, 
 the pastor, being asked whether he could accept it, signified his ac- 
 ceptance, with this reserve, that it should not be construed in any 
 way, to cut himself off from seeking further light and satisfaction. 
 
 "The church also unanimously signified their compliance with the 
 result; with the proviso, that Mr. Farrar's salary cease during his sus- 
 pension, to which Mr. Farrar also agreed, in presence of the council. 
 
 "Attest: Edw. Goddard, Scribe." 
 
 During Mr. Farrar's suspension from the exercise of the 
 ministerial office, the town employed Mr. Benjamin Chadw'ick 
 to preach. This is known from charges for board and horse- 
 keeping made in the town records, and from a receipt, signed 
 by him, dated, April 3, 1776. 
 
 Before the term of suspension expired, the tw^o senior pastors 
 of the council were requested to meet at Dublin and dismiss 
 Mr. Farrar. The following is the record of the proceedings on 
 the occasion : — 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 227 
 
 "Agreeable to the result of an ecclesiastical council, met at Dublin, 
 Dec. 6, 1775, the Rev. Mr. Farrar and the church being together, Mr. 
 Farrar presented the following paper to the church : — 
 
 "To the Church of Christ in DubHn. 
 
 " Brethren, — An uneasiness remaining on my part, as to the 
 matter referred to in the result of the council convened at Dublin, Dec. 
 6, 1775; and as, by your and my acceptance of their result, I am obliged 
 to ask, and you to grant, a dissolution of my pastoral relation to you 
 on June 7, 1776, — agreeably thereto, I ask you to vote a dissolution 
 of my pastoral relations to you. 
 
 Joseph Farrar." 
 
 "Dublin, June 7, 1776." 
 
 "The above being communicated, it was then proposed to the 
 church that they would dismiss the Rev. Mr. Joseph Farrar from his 
 relation to them as pastor. 
 
 "Passed unanimously in the affirmative. 
 
 "Attest: Stephen Farrar, 
 Benjamin Brigham." 
 
 Mr. Stephen Farrar was the pastor of the church in New 
 Ipswich, and Mr. Brigham was the pastor of the church in 
 Fitzwilliam. At a meeting of the inhabitants on the same day, 
 June 7, 1776, "Voted the dismission of Mr. Joseph Farrar from 
 his pastoral relations to this town. Voted that the selectmen 
 hire preaching six months; to provide three preachers, if they 
 can find them; preaching to begin as soon as may be." 
 
 Whether the selectmen found three preachers, and employed 
 them, that year, is not known; but, from receipts that have 
 been preserved, it appears that two preachers were obtained; 
 for, July 30, 1776, Cornelius Waters received four pounds sixteen 
 shillings for preaching four sabbaths; and, Dec. 16, 1776, Aaron 
 Hutchinson, Jr., received a like sum for the same number of 
 sabbaths. Mr. Waters was afterwards settled in Ashby, Mass. 
 
 There was some difficulty in coming to a final settlement with 
 Mr. Farrar; and a town-meeting, May 19, 1777, "voted to buy 
 Mr. Joseph Farrar's land in this town; and that Capt. Thomas 
 Morse and Capt. Moses Adams be a committee to go to Mr. 
 Farrar, and purchase said land for the town." 
 
 The above committee effected the purchase of the land and 
 the house; but it appears that Mr. Farrar did not clear the 
 house of incumbrance; and in January, 1778, the committee 
 gave Eli Morse a power of attorney, in the following form : — 
 
228 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 "Know all men by these presents, that we, Thomas Morse and 
 Moses Adams, both of Dublin, in the county of Cheshire and State of 
 New Hampshire (gentlemen), for divers considerations and good 
 causes hereunto moving us, have made, ordained, constituted, and 
 appointed, and by these presents do make, ordain, constitute, and 
 appoint, our trusty friend, Eli Morse, of Dublin aforesaid (yeoman), 
 our lawful attorney to notify and warn Mr. Joseph Farrar, of Lincoln, 
 in the county of JNIiddlesex, and State of Massachusetts Bay (clerk), 
 forthwith to clear the house of all incumbrance, which we, the said 
 Thomas Morse and Moses Adams, bought of said Farrar. 
 
 " In witness, whereof, we have set our hands and seals, this eighth 
 day of January, 1778. 
 
 Thomas Morse. [Seal.] 
 Moses Adams. [Seal.] 
 
 "Signed, sealed, and delivered in presence of us. 
 
 "Attest: John Muzzy. 
 Simeon Bullard." 
 
 It is probable that the Rev. Mr. Farrar had enlisted in the 
 army before he could conveniently move his eflPects; and though 
 the town of Lincoln was his home, yet he w^as absent, and could 
 not attend to the matter. It is known that he served as a chap- 
 lain, for a time, in the Revolutionary War; but when and 
 where he enlisted, or how long he served, is not known. Great 
 pains were taken after his death to ascertain the facts in the case, 
 that his widow might obtain the pension, wdiich was due her, 
 but, as we suppose, without success. The incumbrance, for the 
 removal of which the above power of attorney was given, re- 
 mained; and the removal was effected at last by a civil process. 
 
 The difficulties by which Mr. Farrar's ministry was termi- 
 nated produced among his people an alienation of feeling which 
 caused them to have little interest in him in subsequent years. 
 Although he was afterward settled in the town of Dummerston, 
 Vt., not many miles distant, yet few persons in Dublin knew 
 whither he went, or what fortunes befell him. 
 
 From a memoir of the "Farrar Family" in the New England 
 Historical and Genealogical Register of October, 1852, we take 
 the following account of Joseph Farrar, the first minister of 
 Dublin: — 
 
 "Joseph Farrar, third and youngest son of George Farrar, of 
 Lincoln, Mass., was born, June 30, 1744; graduated at Harvard in 
 1767; settled as a minister in [Dublin,] New Hampshire, June 10, 1772; 
 dismissed, June 10, 1776 [really on June 7, 1776, as seen by previous 
 paragraphs]; married Mary Brooks of Grafton, Mass., July 28, 1779; 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 229 
 
 installed at Dummerston, Vt., August 24, 1779; dismissed, 1783; again 
 settled at Eden, Vt., December 15, 1812, till December 14, 1815; re- 
 moved to Petersham, Mass., where he died, April 5, 1816, ae. 72. 
 His wife, born, February 4, 1755, was living (October, 1852) at Peter- 
 sham.i Children: 1. Joseph, born, April 4, 1780; married November 
 9, 1806; farmer in Petersham; had two sons, Gardner F., in Fitchburg, 
 Mass., and Joseph, in Lowell, Mass. 2. Mary, born, October 18, 1781 ; 
 died, April 13, 1786. 3. Joel Brooks, born, July 28, 1784; died, April 
 13, 1786 [the same day as the preceding child, probably of some in- 
 fectious distemper]. 4. Reuel, born, November 5, 1786, lived in Peter- 
 sham. 5. Anna, born, February 10, 1789; married, January 30, 1815, 
 a Mr. Stevens, for her first husband; married 2d, September 7, 1828, 
 Josiah S. Prentice of Oxford, Mass. 6. Sally, born, January 20, 1794; 
 married, June, 1843. 7. Humphrey, born, August 13, 1798; married, 
 June, 1827; lived in Petersham. Rev. Joseph Farrar was a man of 
 great eccentricity, amounting occasionally to absolute derangement 
 of mind." 
 
 A letter from Rev. S. F. Clark, dated, January 14, 1854, 
 conveyed the information to the editor of the former History 
 of Dublin that Mrs. Farrar was still living in Petersham; and, 
 as she would be one hundred years old, February 4, 1855, her 
 friends proposed to take her to church on that day. This was 
 done, as the following letter from the Rev. John J. Putnam 
 will show: — 
 
 "Petersham, Feb. 6, 1855. 
 
 "Rev. Dr. Leonard. 
 
 "Dear Sir, — I hasten to answer your inquiries relative to Mrs. 
 Farrar of this town. She has lived to complete a century; and, on 
 Sunday last, celebrated her one hundredth birthday by attending public 
 worship at the Unitarian Church. The day was one of the coldest of 
 this inclement season. She walked with a firm step to her slip, stood 
 unsupported during the singing, and remained after the congregation 
 was dismissed, to participate in the communion service. Her presence 
 gave great solemnity and impressiveness to the occasion. In the same 
 slip was a brother of hers, now in his ninety-seventh year, and in good 
 health. The hymns were sung in old tunes, such as Old Hundred, 
 Mear, and St. Martin's, to revive the recollection of the past. Prayer 
 was offered by Rev. Mr. Wilson, former pastor of the church, of which 
 the centenarian is a member, and a discourse preached by myself, on 
 'Virtuous Old Age,' from the words, 'The hoary head is a crown of 
 glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness,' Prov., XVI. 3.^ 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 John J. Putnam." 
 
 * She died at Petersham, Mass., Aug. 24, 1855. 
 
 '^ At her death, Mrs. Farrar had lived 100 years, 6 months, and 20 days. 
 
230 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Judge Timothy Farrar of New Ipswich was a cousin and 
 classmate of Rev. Joseph Farrar. 
 
 At a town-meeting, August G, 1777, "the town made choice 
 of Mr. Edward Sprague to settle with them as their gospel 
 minister." How many sabbaths he had preached as a candi- 
 date is not known; but an affirmative answer was given to the 
 invitation of the town, of which the following is a copy : — 
 
 "Dublin, Oct. 25, 1777. 
 "To the Inhabitants of Dublin. 
 
 "My dear Friends, — The Great and glorious God, who has the 
 hearts of all men in his hands, has put it into your hearts to make 
 choice of me to settle with you in the gospel ministry, August 6, 1777. 
 My mind, O my friends! is impressed with the solemnity of the busi- 
 ness. As great and important as it is, with a dependence upon the all- 
 sufficient Savior for grace and wisdom to fulfil my ministry, I accept 
 your invitation, and ask your prayers for me that I may be an instru- 
 ment of great good to your souls, of bringing home to my Savior the 
 hardened and impenitent, of awakening the careless and secure to save 
 them from death, — eternal death. Pray for me that I may so care- 
 fully discharge my duty to your souls as that at last I may be accepted, 
 and have you for my crown of rejoicing in the day of the Lord. 
 
 "I subscribe myself your affectionate friend, 
 
 Edward Sprague." 
 
 "N. B. — The liberty granted to Mr. Farrar, of two or three sab- 
 baths to visit my friends, who live at a distance, I ask of you." 
 
 The following is an extract from the church records, as 
 
 begun by Mr. Sprague : — 
 
 "Dublin, Nov. 12, 1777. 
 
 "The first church of Christ in Cambridge by their delegates, the 
 church of Christ in New Ipswich, Townsend, and Fitzwilliam, by their 
 elders and delegates, having convened at Dublin, on November 12, 
 1777, in consequence of letters missive from the church of Christ in 
 Dublin, and, after having read the letter missive: 1. Voted that they 
 would form into an ecclesiastical council. 2. Voted and made choice 
 of the Rev. Dr. Langdon to be moderator of the council. And after 
 prayer to God, the Father of lights, for direction and assistance in the 
 important transaction, voted that Rev. Mr. Brigham of Fitzwilliam 
 should be the scribe of the council. The council then proceeded to the 
 business for which they were convened; and, having made inquiry, 
 and found that the church had, in a proper way and manner, called 
 Mr. Sprague to the work of the gospel ministry among them, and be- 
 ing satisfied with regard to Mr. Sprague's principles and qualifications 
 for the gospel ministry, voted that they would proceed to the ordina- 
 
'f oL^^^t^y yyi^acu^Cy 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 231 
 
 tion of Mr. Edward Sprague to the work of the gospel ministry in 
 DubUn, and to the pastoral care of that church. Voted that the Rev. 
 Mr. Farrar of New Ipswich give the charge; that the Rev. Mr. Dix of 
 Townsend should make the prayer before the charge, and give the 
 right hand of fellowship; that the Rev. Mr. Brigham, of Fitzwilliam 
 should make the introductory prayer; and the Rev. Dr. Langdon, the 
 concluding prayer, 
 
 "A copy from the minutes. 
 
 Benjamin Brigham, Scribe to said Council." 
 
 The sermon at Mr. Sprague's ordination was preached by the 
 Rev. Dr. Samuel Langdon, who was then the President of 
 Harvard University. Dr. Langdon was the same who offered 
 prayer before the minute-men, assembled on Cambridge com- 
 mon, as they were about to march to Charlestown, on the eve 
 of the battle of Bunker Hill. The sermon at Mr. Sprague's 
 ordination was printed at Boston, by Thomas and John Fleet, 
 and some copies are still in existence. The text was in 1 Thess. 
 XL 13. 
 
 It was customary in former times for ministers to receive a 
 "settlement." This word, in the sense then used, is not under- 
 stood by many at the present day. The "settlement" consti- 
 tuted no part of the minister's salary. It was a gift to young 
 ministers, made on the well-grounded supposition that they 
 needed some aid after completing their education to enable 
 them to begin their ministry without incurring debts, and, 
 sometimes, to pay debts which they had already incurred. It 
 is seldom that we hear of ministers receiving a "settlement" 
 in these days. Mr. Sprague, by an instrument executed, Nov. 
 20, 1777, relinquished his "settlement" for a lease of the min- 
 istry-lot, number twenty-two, in the fifth range. 
 
 "Received of the town of Dublin, whereof I am now the gospel 
 minister, the sum of one hundred pounds lawful money, granted me 
 by the said town as a free gift in consideration of my settlement 
 among them; the aforesaid sum being paid me by their lease of the 
 ministry -lot, number twenty -two in the fifth range, in said town; 
 and I do hereby, on the aforesaid consideration, wholly and absolutely 
 renounce and give up to the town all claims and demands whatever 
 which I have, or ought to have, to any other part or parcel of the 
 ministry -lands in said town. As witness my hand the day and date 
 above written. Edward Sprague." 
 
 The signing of the above in the town records is an autograph, 
 not a copy by the clerk. 
 
HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The handwriting of Mr. Sprague, as he advanced in Hfe, 
 became so illegible that the most expert at deciphering bad 
 penmanship have failed of success. The Rev. Mr. Farrar wrote 
 a very fair and legible hand; and he was employed by some of 
 his parishioners to draft various papers and legal instruments, 
 a few of which are still preserved. 
 
 At the commencement of Mr. Sprague's ministry, Eli Morse 
 and Benjamin Learned were deacons of the church; and the 
 number of church members, compared with the population of 
 the town, and with the number in other places, was respectable. 
 A large portion of them were members of churches before they 
 removed to Dublin. Some, no doubt, had become members dur- 
 ing Mr. Farrar's ministry. From the imperfect records of Mr. 
 Sprague, it appears that the following persons were members 
 of the church at the time of his ordination : —

 At a meeting of the church, Dec. 7, 1777, "Voted that those 
 persons who have owned the covenant, upon declaring the same, 
 and promising to bring a certificate to evidence their connection 
 with a regular standing church, shall have the privilege of bap- 
 tism for their children." But, on May 11, 1778, the church 
 "voted that no person should have the privilege of baptism 
 for their children, unless one or the other of their parents 
 are in full communion." This means, unless one or the other 
 of the parents of the children offered for baptism be in full 
 communion. 
 
 The church members, admitted by letters of recommendation 
 from other churches, are, so nearly as can be ascertained, the

 The principal events in Mr. Sprague's ministry, and the chief 
 points in his character, are noticed in the address. From what 
 is there said, it is evident that one of his greatest trials, in the 
 first years of his ministry, was the depreciation of the nominal 
 value of his salary, and the method adopted of paying it in 
 agricultural produce. His father is said to have been ready to 
 help him, when a request for that purpose was made. It is a 
 tradition that, on one occasion, Mr. Sprague asked his father 
 for fifty pounds, and that it was counted out in lawful money, 
 amounting to $166.66. But the son exclaimed, on ascertaining 
 the real amount, "Oh, sir! I did not want it in lawful money, 
 but fifty pounds, old tenor." This sum, in the latter currency, 
 would have been a little more than twenty -two dollars, which 
 was said to be what he actually took, his father not insisting 
 upon his taking the whole. 
 
 Mr. Sprague was educated without depending upon himself. 
 His father paid his bills; and, as to worldly matters in general, 
 the son did not concern himself about them till too late in life 
 to become well prepared for managing them with good success. 
 He was unacquainted with the operations of husbandry, and 
 especially as carried on in a town so recently settled as Dublin. 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 235 
 
 His ignorance with regard to such matters caused him to be 
 regarded by some persons with less respect than he deserved. 
 Many of the anecdotes that have been circulated in connection 
 with his name had not their origin with him; and such as are 
 correctly applied may be attributed, in great measure, to the 
 circumstances of his early life. Some persons, perceiving his 
 want of a knowledge of things quite familiar to those who had 
 always lived in the country, were tempted to engage with him 
 in practical jokes for their own and others' amusement. A 
 clergyman of an adjoining town is reported to have been neither 
 backward nor unsuccessful in efforts of this kind. They required 
 no greater amount of cunning trickery than is sometimes ex- 
 hibited on the first day of April, or is occasionally practised 
 upon children. 
 
 Mr. Sprague, in some respects, had the simplicity of a child; 
 but he often surprised those who knew him only from report, 
 by his shrewdness of remark and readiness of repartee. Many 
 a one, who felt strong in his own power against an opponent in 
 a contest of wit, found himself defeated in an encounter with 
 Mr, Sprague. When he had obtained the advantage in these 
 contests, he was apt to show little mercy to his opponent. He 
 would give no quarter, but press on, and take his own time for 
 ceasing to use his advantage. 
 
 When a Baptist society was formed in the north-west part 
 of the town some of the members of Mr. Sprague's church em- 
 braced the views of the Baptists. This was, of course, a matter 
 of some perplexity and trouble. But, if we may judge from the 
 following anecdote, he was not impatient nor unforbearing 
 towards the absenting persons. It is said that one of these mem- 
 bers, who had left his meeting, called upon him, and inquired 
 why he (Mr. Sprague) had not visited him and reproved him 
 for non-attendance on public worship, or why he had not dealt 
 with him according to Scripture. Mr. Sprague's reply was, 
 "/ have." "In what way?'' asked the man. "According to the 
 directions of the Apostle,'" said Mr. Sprague: "Mark them that 
 cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine v^hich ye have 
 learned, and avoid them.'" 
 
 On the death of his father, Mr. Sprague shared in the in- 
 heritance of a large estate. As to what he should receive, he 
 compromised the matter, and agreed to take for his share of 
 real estate thirty thousand dollars, excepting land and buildings 
 in Cambridge, of which he kept possession till his death. It 
 has been supposed by many, that what he received was con- 
 
236 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 siderably less than he might have obtained by a division of the 
 property according to the law of inheritance. But he said that 
 it was enough for him, — more than he should ever want. 
 
 This great change in Mr. Sprague's pecuniary circumstances 
 rendered him independent of the want of a salary; and, in the 
 year 1801, he formally relinquished the same. His reasons for 
 taking this step, and the conditions on which it was made, 
 may be found in the following instrument : — 
 
 "^Yhereas the town of Dublin has this day complied with the 
 proposals I made them through a letter addressed to the selectmen 
 of said Dublin, and by them to be communicated to the town, at a 
 meeting legally warned for that purpose; said letter bearing date, 
 April 10, A.D. 1801; and implying and importing in substance as fol- 
 lows, viz., that, in consequence of bodily indisposition and infirmities, 
 I had advised with the best physicians, who had all unanimously rec- 
 ommended to me, for the benefit and recovery of my health, a change 
 of air and situation, and not to retain a permanent residence in Dub- 
 lin; and that, influenced by these considerations, I did by said letter 
 relinquish, from and after the 12th day of May next (which will com- 
 plete twenty-three years and six months from my ordination), my 
 annual salary of sixty pounds and thirty cords of wood; retaining, 
 however, my pastoral relation and connection with the church of Dub- 
 lin, and the right of supplying the pulpit with men of piety and good 
 abilities, when I found it inexpedient to preach myself; the town pay- 
 ing said candidates for their service. 
 
 "This is, therefore, to relinquish, and I do hereby relinquish, my 
 said annual salary of sixty pounds and thirty cords of wood, from and 
 after the said twelfth day of May, a.d. 1801, on the condition above 
 expressed. 
 
 "In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name, this 
 fourth day of May, a.d., one thousand eight hundred and one. 
 
 Edward Sprague." 
 
 "Signed in presence of us, 
 
 Elijah Dunbar. 
 Ward Eddy." 
 
 In consequence of the foregoing agreement, the minister-tax 
 for 1801 was the last which the town raised to be paid to Mr. 
 Sprague. The whole amount of the assessment for this year 
 was only half of the usual sum, or the salary for six months. In 
 the year previous to 1801, the taxes for the minister's salary 
 varied in amount to individual tax-payers $3.92 to 35 cents, 
 the last being a tax on a poll. Only four persons paid over three 
 dollars, thirty paid from two to three dollars, seventy paid from 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 237 
 
 one to two dollars, and seventy-one paid less than one dollar. 
 Thirty-three persons paid no minister-tax for that year. Most 
 of these last belonged, probably, to the Baptist denomination. 
 The amount of minister- tax for the year 1800 was $225.25. 
 From the year 1801 to 1818, the town raised no money for 
 preaching. 
 
 Mr. Sprague, according to his design of removing from 
 Dublin, purchased a house in Keene, and established himself 
 there with his wife, continuing to supply the pulpit at Dublin. 
 He retained his house in Dublin and kept it furnished, but, 
 after a short period, spent the greater part of the year at his 
 old home, his wife remaining at Keene. Occasionally, he hired 
 persons to preach in his pulpit; but it is not known that he ever 
 charged the town for their services. During the winter months, 
 he did not preach in the meetinghouse, but in a hall, which he 
 owned, situated a mile east of the first meetinghouse. 
 
 Mr. Sprague's dwelling in Keene was a good house for its 
 time, which stood on West St. (then called Pleasant St.), on 
 the north side of the street, just east of the counting room of the 
 mill corporation, where the Josiah Colony family lived many 
 years, and where the mansion stands which is now occupied 
 by Laurence D. Colony (in 1916). 
 
 Under the impression that money invested in real estate was 
 the most secure, Mr. Sprague purchased several farms, which 
 he rented, or let out at the halves. Under such supervision as 
 he was able to give, this mode of investing his capital did not 
 yield a high percentage of income. The farms depreciated in 
 value, and Mr. Sprague was wont to say with respect to those 
 that were taken at the halves, "My half did n't grow." But, 
 so far as pecuniary matters were concerned, he was at ease. 
 He rode at times in a coach drawn by four horses. His coach was 
 furnished with lamps, and he was fond of riding in the evening 
 with the lamps burning. He was distinguished for his hospital- 
 ity. His house was always open to the reception of company. 
 His table was plentifully supplied with the best that could be 
 obtained in Dublin, and not infrequently he sent to Boston for 
 such articles as could not be procured at home. The walls of 
 his rooms were hung with a variety of paintings and engrav- 
 ings, which, as he said, were designed to attract and entertain 
 company; but which, in general, were indifferent as to their 
 execution. He took great apparent satisfaction in exhibiting 
 them to persons, strangers, or friends, who called upon him. 
 
 Mr. Sprague was the friend and patron of sacred music in his 
 
238 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 society. During the last years of his life, he contributed liberally 
 for its encouragement. He is said to have been particularly fond 
 of hearing the "Ode on Science" performed; and it was fre- 
 quently sung at his request, either in the church or at some oc- 
 casional meeting of the choir. This Ode on Science was set 
 to music by Sumner. The words were: — 
 
 "The morning sun shines from the East, 
 And spreads his glories to the \Yest; 
 All nations with his beams are blest. 
 
 Where'er his radiant light appears; 
 So science spreads her lucid ray 
 O'er lands that long in darkness lay; 
 She visits fair Columbia, 
 
 And sets her sons among the stars. 
 
 "Fair freedom, her attendant, waits 
 To bless the portals of her gates, 
 To crown the young and rising States 
 
 With laurels of immortal day: 
 The British yoke, the Gallic chain. 
 Were urged upon our sons in vain; 
 All haughty tyrants we disdain. 
 
 And shout. Long live America." 
 
 The original music for these words may be found in several old 
 collections of tunes, and in some of more recent date. It is 
 indeed a praiseworthy composition, delightful to lovers of good 
 music, and it speaks well for the musical taste of Mr. Sprague, 
 that it pleased him. 
 
 He took a deep interest in the Revolutionary struggle; and 
 the patriotic song which we have quoted rekindled, no doubt, 
 the feelings of joy and gratitude which arose in his breast at 
 the successful issue of American resistance to British oppression. 
 He regarded a well-organized militia as necessary for national 
 defence. If he had lived today (1916), he would have favored 
 "preparedness." On one occasion, he delivered an address to 
 a company of soldiers assembled in his church in military cos- 
 tume. He read the newspapers of the day with more than ordi- 
 nary interest; and he took much pleasure in telling the news to 
 his friends and neighbors, which he did with such comments or 
 incidental remarks as he supposed would render the news more 
 interesting and profitable. 
 
 The bodily infirmities of Mr. Sprague during the latter part 
 of his life were so great that he frequently deemed it necessary 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 239 
 
 to have the advice of a physician. He reposed much confidence 
 in the skill of Dr. Moses Kidder, who settled in Dublin a few 
 years before his death. He was fond of him as a companion as 
 well as a physician, and his desire to retain him in town was 
 manifested in his will. He bequeathed him two thousand dol- 
 lars, on condition that he remained in town during his (Mr. 
 Sprague's) natural life. Mr. Sprague first proposed to Dr. 
 Kidder to bequeath him the above sum on condition that he 
 remained in town as a physician during his (Dr. Kidder's) 
 natural life; but such a bequest was absolutely declined. 
 
 The death of Mr. Sprague was occasioned by the overturn- 
 ing of a carriage. He had a limb broken, and he was otherwise 
 injured. This happened on the evening of the 9th of December, 
 1817, as he was returning from a wedding which he had at- 
 tended, at the house of Deacon Benjamin Learned, at which 
 Deacon Learned's daughter Abigail was married to Jonas 
 Davis. On the 13th of the same month, as the broken limb, 
 instead of uniting and healing, was evidently tending to morti- 
 fication, he was reminded of his danger. Feeling much less pain 
 than he had done, he thought that his friends were needlessly 
 alarmed. On being assured by his physician that his life was in 
 danger, he requested the attendance of Thaddeus Morse, Esq., 
 who, according to Mr. Sprague's directions, wrote his last will 
 and testament, and had the same duly witnessed. He lived till 
 the morning of the 16th of December. His funeral was on the 
 18th of December; and a sermon on the occasion was preached 
 by the Rev. Elijah Dunbar of Peterborough. By a vote, and 
 at the expense, of the town, two hundred fifty copies of the said 
 sermon were printed. 
 
 Mrs. Hannah Sprague, the wife of the Rev. E. Sprague, died 
 at her residence in Keene, July 9, 1818. She had entered her 
 eighty-first year. Her maiden name was Fitch. She sustained, 
 it is said, "a Christian character of peculiar excellence." She 
 resided at Keene nearly all the time after her removal thither. 
 She visited her husband at Dublin occasionally; but he more 
 frequently visited her. The inscriptions on the monuments 
 erected to the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Sprague were composed 
 by the Rev. E. Dunbar. 
 
 In addressing Mrs. Sprague at the funeral of her husband, 
 Mr. Dunbar's words are: "A filial sensibility carries back my 
 recollection through a period of almost twenty years since my 
 acquaintance began with yourself and your late worthy and 
 reverend consort, whose remains are now to be consigned to the 
 
240 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 grave. The numerous proofs of sincere and personal friendship; 
 the time I have spent under your hospitable roof, and the sub- 
 sequent harmonious intercourse of so long a period as has elapsed 
 since my settlement in this vicinity, cannot fail of impressing 
 my mind in a peculiar manner. This friendship and partiality, 
 continued to the very close of life, has now placed me in this 
 desk; and I need not observe to you, madam, how much more 
 congenial it would have been to my feelings, had I now been at 
 liberty silently to mingle my sympathies with your sorrows. 
 ... I cannot, however, remain heedless of the last request of 
 a venerable and constant friend in Christ, and father in the 
 sacred ministry of the gospel, whose earthly labors are now 
 closed forever, and whose soul has returned to God who gave it. 
 Of Mr. Sprague Mr. Dunbar says, "As a minister of the gos- 
 pel, he was considered as excelling more particularly in his 
 pathetic addresses, and sermons, on funeral occasions, and gen- 
 erally in his public prayers." It was the custom of Mr. Sprague 
 at funerals to speak of the characters of the persons deceased 
 with more particularity than is common at the present day, 
 and some of his parishioners were inclined to think that he was 
 too much influenced in his remarks by his personal feelings of 
 favor or dislike. He had a strong sympathy with the distressed, 
 and much facility in the expression of his feelings on all occa- 
 sions in which distress and affliction were outwardly manifested. 
 
 " The Last Will and Testament of the Rev. Edward Sprague 
 
 "In the name of God, Amen, — I, Edward Sprague, of Dublin, in 
 the county of Cheshire, in the State of New Hampshire, clerk, do 
 make this my last will and testament. Conscious that I was born to die, 
 that my body must return to dust, and my soul to God who gave it, to 
 him I cheerfully resign the same, in full confidence that he will do with 
 me what is right, and that (though worms destroy my body) in my flesh 
 I shall see God, and humbly hoping that I shall have acted well my part, 
 relying on the merits of Jesus Christ, and be happy with him forever. 
 
 "And as to the worldly estate which God has been pleased to bestow 
 upon me, my debts and funeral charges being first paid by my execu- 
 tor, hereafter named, I give and devise the residue thereof in manner 
 following, viz.: — 
 
 " 1st, I give to the town of Dublin the sum of five thousand dollars, 
 to be kept at interest by the said town forever, for the sole purpose 
 of supporting the Christian religion in the Congregational Society 
 (so-called) in said town, the interest thereof to be paid quarter-yearly 
 to the minister of the Congregational persuasion who shall be regu- 
 arly ordained and statedly preach in said society.

 " 2d, I give to my nephews and nieces one dollar each. 
 
 " 3d, I give to my beloved wife, Hannah Sprague, all my household 
 furniture, and the interest of all sums of money which shall be on 
 hand, or due at the time of my decease, after the payment of the 
 above-mentioned sums, and the use of all my other estate, both real 
 and personal, during her natural life. 
 
 "4th, I give to Dr. Moses Kidder two thousand dollars, provided 
 he tarry in the town of Dublin physician during my natural life. 
 
 "5th, I give to John Twitchell and Alline Newhall three hundred 
 dollars each, provided they stay in my service during my natural life 
 to my satisfaction. 
 
 "6th, I give the town of Dublin all the remainder of said estate, 
 including all my property not before given or devised by this will, to 
 be kept for the use of schooling in said Dublin. And I hereby appoint

 In Memory 
 
 OF THE 
 
 REV. EDWARD SPRAGUE, A.M. 
 
 "The second Pastor of the Church in Dublin, who, for more than 
 forty years, preached the word of God and broke the bread of life to 
 this Christian Society. He entered on the stage of public action at the 
 commencement of the late glorious Revolution, of which he was a 
 zealous advocate, fully imbibing its spirit, and remaining through life 
 the friend of liberty, civil and religious. He feared God above many 
 from his youth, sincerely devoted himself to his service in the gospel 
 of his Son, and united orthodoxy with charity. Possessing a large es- 
 tate, his regard for the town in which he lived prompted him, after 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 243 
 
 making a few legacies to particular friends, to bequeath them the re- 
 mainder of his property for the pious and laudable purposes of support- 
 ing the gospel and schools. Having been in private life cheerful and 
 courteous, ' a lover of good men and given to hospitality ; ' having in the 
 discharge of ministerial duty, been assiduous, solemn, faithful; at 
 length, laden with accumulated infirmities and hastened by a fatal 
 occurrence, he languished a few days, and then calmly fell asleep in a 
 firm belief of that gospel he preached to others. 
 
 " ' Let fainting nature sink to rest 
 Within its clay-cold bed, 
 Till, with refulgent glory drest, 
 It wakens from the dead; 
 What though the body in the dust be laid. 
 Breathless and mouldering in the awful shade! 
 Faith views a bright reversion in the skies, 
 When all the saints, reanimated, rise.'

 as the perusal of the preceding pages will show.]

 OF 
 
 MRS. HANNAH SPRAGUE, 
 
 CONSORT OF THE REV. EDWARD SPRAGUE, 
 
 Who died, July 10,^ 1818, aged eighty years 
 
 "In the several spheres of a wife, a neighbor, a Christian, and 
 partner in the ministerial relations, she moved with dignity, useful- 
 ness, and secured esteem. The religion of Jesus was the choice and 
 ornament of her youth, the guide and support of her riper years, and 
 the refuge and solace of her declining age. While her hopes of salvation 
 rested entirely on the unmerited grace of God in Christ, she had no 
 confidence in any faith but that which works by love. Her benevo- 
 lence, ever active, met the needy at the door; and the poor she never

 sent empty away. She was the faithful almoner of the goods en- 
 trusted her by Providence; and it could be truly said of her, that she 
 'fed the hungry, clothed the naked, visited the sick, and entertained 
 the stranger.' The cause of Zion lay near her heart in life, and was not 
 forgotten at her death. That her property might aid this cause, when 
 she sleeps in dust, she bequeathed the principal part of her estate to 
 the New Hampshire Missionary Society. Reader, if thou hast wealth, 
 influence, piety, learn the art of employing thy talents in doing good; 
 and thou shalt never want a surviving friend to write over thy grave, 
 'The memory of the just is blessed;' nor a smiling Savior, in the great 
 day, to hail thee with, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant; 
 enter into the joy of thy Lord.'" 
 
 As the church was without a pastor, and as no covenant 
 could be found among the papers left by Mr. Sprague, Rev, 
 Mr. Dunbar was requested to meet the members. He acceded 
 to the request, and the following is the record of the meeting 
 in the handwriting of Andrew Allison, who had been chosen 
 clerk : — 
 
 "At a meeting of the church in Dublin, 2d November, in the year of 
 our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, the Rev. Elijah 
 Dunbar, moderator: — 
 
 "Voted to adopt the copy of the old original covenant that the 
 Rev. Edward Sprague formed his church by, when he first settled in 
 this town. 
 
 "Voted to subscribe our names to it for the future government of 
 the church in Dubhn." 
 
 The following is the covenant referred to in the above votes, 
 with the names annexed of the persons who subscribed it. The 
 original copy is still preserved, as transcribed by Mr. Dunbar 
 from a copy which he found many years before in the posses- 
 sion of Mr. Sprague, and which he believed to be the same 
 that was used by the Rev. Dr. Appleton of Cambridge, Mass. : — 
 
 "We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, apprehending ourselves 
 called of God into a sacred fellowship with one another in the pro- 
 fession and practice of the holy Christian religion, as a particular 
 church of the Lord Jesus, do solemnly covenant with God and with 
 one another, as follows : — 
 
 "In the first place, we avouch the Lord this day to be our God, 
 yielding ourselves to him to be his servants, and choosing him to be 
 our portion for ever; we give up ourselves unto the God whose name 
 alone is Jehovah, to be his people, to walk in his ways, and to keep 
 his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, and to hearken 
 unto his voice, declaring our firm assent unto the truths, and hearty 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 245 
 
 consent unto the terms, of the gospel. We accept of Jesus Christ in all 
 his glorious offices, prophetical, priestly, and kingly; and depend on 
 him, in the way which he hath prescribed, for instruction, pardon, 
 and eternal life. We profess our serious resolution to deny, as the grace 
 of God teaches us, all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, 
 righteously, and godly in this present world; to endeavor that our con- 
 versation may be such as becomes and adorns the gospel. We promise, 
 by the help of God's grace, to walk together in all ways of holy com- 
 munion as brethren in the family of Christ and children of our Father 
 who is in heaven; to keep the faith and observe the order of the gospel; 
 carefully to support and conscientiously to attend the public worship 
 of God, in all the instituted duties thereof, and to submit to the disci- 
 pline of his kingdom; to watch over one another with Christian cir- 
 cumspection, and endeavor our mutual edification in holiness and 
 comfort. 
 
 "Furthermore, we dedicate our offspring with ourselves unto the 
 Lord, engaging to bring them up in his nurture and admonition," and, 
 as far as in us lies, to transmit the ordinances of God pure and entire 
 unto them. 
 
 "All this we do in the presence and fear of God, with a deep sense 
 of our unworthiness to be admitted into covenant with him and to 
 enjoy the privileges of the church evangelical, and our own insufficiency 
 to perform the duties without his gracious assistance; and we do there- 
 fore rely on and pray to the God of grace and peace, who brought 
 again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of 
 the sheep, that, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, he 
 would make us perfect in every good work, to do his will, working in 
 us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to 
 whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 After the death of Mr. Sprague, the pulpit was supplied for 
 a time by the clergymen of the vicinity, who, according to cus- 
 tomary usage, gave each one day's preaching. But, as the 
 benefit of such labors would not fall upon the widow, her hus- 
 band having no salary, the question arose whether these clergy- 
 men should be paid for their services. Accordingly, an article 
 was inserted in the warrant for a town-meeting, Feb. 20, 1818, 
 "to see if the town will make any compensation to those clergy- 
 men who have preached here since Mr. Sprague's decease." 
 The said article was dismissed. At the same meeting, "Voted 
 
246 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 that the selectmen be directed to return the thanks of the town 
 to the Rev. Mr. Dunbar for his discourse deHvered at the 
 funeral of the Rev. Edward Sprague, and request a copy of him 
 for the press." Two hundred fifty copies were ordered to be 
 procured. "Voted to raise two hundred dollars to procure 
 preaching this year ensuing. Chose Deacon Francis Appleton, 
 Abel Twitchell, and Cyrus Chamberlain, to provide preaching." 
 
 The preacher procured was Mr. Edmund Quincy Sewall, son 
 of Judge Samuel Sewall of Massachusetts, a graduate of Har- 
 vard College, 1815, and who had studied theology in Cambridge. 
 
 At a town-meeting, July 6, 1818, "Voted to give Mr. Edmund 
 Q. Sewall a call to settle in this town as a gospel minister, sev- 
 enty-six in favor, and forty-four against it." A committee was 
 then chosen to propose a salary, and said committee "proposed 
 that the town give Mr. Sewall five hundred dollars, a yearly 
 salary, so long as he shall supply the desk, or be their gospel 
 minister; which report was accepted." 
 
 Mr. Sewall returned a negative answer to the call he had 
 received; but, as many persons were much interested in him, 
 an article was inserted in the warrant for a town-meeting, Nov. 
 11, 1818, "to see if the town will recall Mr. Edmund Q. Sewall 
 as a minister of the gospel in this place, or act anything respect- 
 ing the same." On this article, "Voted that the yeas and nays 
 betaken; . . . and there were ninety-six in favor, and seventy 
 in the negative." It was then "voted to choose a committee of 
 three to nominate a committee of three to propose a sum to 
 offer Mr. Sewall as a salary." But, instead of proceeding to 
 choose said committee, it was "voted to act no further on the 
 article at the present time." This vote was, in effect, laying the 
 whole subject on the table. It was called up at a meeting held, 
 Dec. 1, 1818. One article in the warrant was "to see what com- 
 pensation the town will give Mr. Edmond Q. Sewall to settle as 
 a minister of the gospel in this place, or act anything respecting 
 the same." This article was dismissed, and a committee was 
 chosen, consisting of the selectmen, to hire preaching; one hun- 
 dred fifty dollars having been voted for that purpose. Mr. 
 Sewall was settled, in 1819, in Barnstable, Mass.; then in Am- 
 herst, N. H.; and again in Scituate, Mass. He was born in 
 Marblehead, Mass., Oct. 1, 1796; and ordained at Barnstable, 
 Dec. 22, 1819, where he remained three years. His Amherst 
 pastorate was for about two years, from Jan. 26, 1825. His 
 long Scituate pastorate extended for about seventeen years, 
 from Dec. 21, 1831. He died in Cohasset, Mass., Sept. 15, 1866. 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 247 
 
 The candidates employed under the foregoing and subse- 
 quent votes of the town, so far as we have ascertained, 
 were Thomas Tracy, born in Haverhill, Mass., March 26, 
 1781; died at Newburyport, Mass., Aug. 11, 1872; had settle- 
 ments in Biddeford, Me., and Saco, Me.; — Rev. Stephen 
 Farley, who had been settled in Claremont, N. H, ; — David 
 Reed, born in Easton, Mass., Feb. 6, 1790; died in Roxbury, 
 Mass., June 7, 1870; for forty-four years publisher and pro- 
 prietor of the "Christian Register" at Boston; — Elisha Fuller, 
 born in Princeton, Mass., Oct. 28, 1794; died in Worcester, 
 Mass., March 18, 1855; a noted lawyer in Concord, Mass., 
 Lowell, and Worcester, never ordained; son of Rev. Timothy 
 Fuller of Merrimack, N. H.; — Stevens Everett, born in Dor- 
 chester, Mass., Dec. 14, 1797; died there, Feb. 20, 1833; settled 
 in Hallowell, Me., about eight years, from Sept. 15, 1824; — 
 and Silas Allen, who afterwards changed his name to William 
 Winthrop Allen, born in Medfield, Mass., Jan. 25, 1795; died 
 there, Oct. 31, 1888; who was never ordained. All of these men, 
 except Mr. Farley, had studied in the Harvard Divinity School. 
 The statement in the former History of Dublin that Mr. 
 Everett was settled at Augusta, Me., was probably an error. 
 The general catalogue of the Harvard Divinity School, which 
 gives quite complete information with respect to every student 
 of the school, credits him with no settlement except at Hallo- 
 well, Me. 
 
 The law of the State, called the "Toleration Law," was passed 
 at the June session of the legislature, in the year 1819; and the 
 First Congregational Society was organized, in accordance with 
 the requisitions of that act, in the winter of 1819-20. A part 
 of the preamble to the constitution and by-laws of said society 
 is as follows : — 
 
 "In conformity to an act of the Legislature of this State, passed, 
 June, A.D., 1819, by which it is rendered illegal for towns, as corporate 
 bodies, to raise money for the support of the gospel, — which act 
 authorizes any number of persons to associate themselves together into 
 a society for moral and religious purposes, — therefore, we, the under- 
 signed, inhabitants of the town of Dublin, deeming religion, piety, and 
 morality important to the present and future interests of mankind, 
 have associated ourselves into a society for the above purposes, to be 
 known and designated by the name of the First Congregational So- 
 ciety in Dublin." 
 
 Mr. Levi Washburn Leonard began to preach as a candi- 
 date for the above society, the first Sunday in April, 1820; 
 
248 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 and, after supplying the desk six Sundays, and on the annual 
 fast, he received an invitation from the church and society to 
 settle as their minister, with the ofl'er of an annual salary of 
 six hundred dollars. 
 
 Levi Washburn Leonard was born in South Bridgewater, 
 Mass., June 1, 1790, took the degree of A.B. at Harvard Uni- 
 versity, 1815; A.M., 1818; and was honored with the degree of 
 Doctor of Divinity by the same institution, in 1849. He was 
 ordained at Dublin, Sept. 6, 1820; made the senior pastor of 
 the church, after the settlement of Mr. Bridge, June 13, 1855; 
 and remained the emeritus pastor of the church until his death, 
 at Exeter, N. H., Dec. 12, 1864. 
 
 The following are copies of the records of the church and 
 society in reference to the call and settlement of Mr. Leonard : — 
 
 "Dublin, May 20, 1820. Voted to give Levi W. Leonard a call to 
 settle with us, as our gospel minister. 
 
 Andrew Allison, Clerk for the Church" 
 
 "The First Congregational Society met at the Old Centre Meeting- 
 house in Dublin, agreeably to notice; chose Capt. Moses Marshall 
 moderator. 
 
 "Voted to give the Rev. Levi W. Leonard a call to settle in the 
 ministry over the society in Dublin. 
 
 "Voted that the society give the Rev. Levi W. Leonard a salary of 
 six hundred dollars annually, including the legacy, so long as he con- 
 tinues minister over the society. 
 
 "Voted that the standing committee of the society inform Rev. 
 Mr. Leonard of the result of this meeting, and request him to return 
 to Dublin as soon as convenient. 
 
 "To which the Rev. L. W. Leonard returned the following reply: — 
 
 "To the Congregational Church and Society in Dublin. 
 
 " Christl^n Brethren and Friends, — Having received an in- 
 vitation by your committee to take upon me the sacred and important 
 office of a Christian minister and religious instructor among you, and 
 having solemnly and prayerfully deliberated on the subject, I have 
 determined to accept the invitation. 
 
 "The arduous nature of the work which I am about to undertake, 
 the high responsibility of the ministerial office, and the fearful con- 
 sequences of unskilfulness or unfaithfulness in the performance of its 
 duties, are considerations which fill my mind with much solicitude. 
 But the motives and views which have led me to devote myself to the 
 work of the ministry, the degree of unanimity with which you have 
 invited me, the sense of duty which has disposed me to accept your 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 249 
 
 invitation, and a firm reliance on divine aid to support me in time of 
 trouble and difBculty, encourage the pleasing hope that my labors will 
 be attended with the blessing of Heaven. In this interesting and sol- 
 emn undertaking I shall need your kind assistance; and I humbly 
 ask your united prayers, that, if it should please the holy Author of 
 our religion to consecrate me to his service among you as a minister 
 of Jesus Christ, he would, in the rich abundance of his goodness, 
 endow his servant with all those gifts and graces requisite to adorn 
 the profession; that this people may be of the same mind one towards 
 another, united in the bonds of charity, supported by the blessed 
 consolations of the gospel, and built up in faith and holiness unto 
 eternal life. 
 
 "The attentions which you have shown me, and the favorable 
 opinion which you have expressed by calling me to discharge the du- 
 ties of so important a station, deserve and obtain my warmest grat- 
 itude. That your just demands and expectations may be fulfilled is 
 my most earnest prayer. With sentiments of high respect. 
 
 Your friend and servant, 
 
 Levi W. Leonard." 
 "Witness: Joseph Appl,bton, Clerk of the Society." 
 
 At a meeting of the church, Aug. 4, 1820, the call, given in May, 
 was renewed, and it was "voted to choose a committee of three 
 from the church to assist in choosing a council with Mr. Leon- 
 ard in respect to his settlement with us as our gospel minister. 
 Voted that the committee be John Snow, Abel Twitchell, and 
 Andrew Allison. — Francis Appleton, Moderator." 
 
 The above-named committee with three others, chosen by 
 the society, met, Aug. 4, 1820, and prepared the following letter 
 missive, which was sent to the churches in Harvard University; 
 Concord, Mass.; Wilton, N. H.; Peterborough, N. H.; Dover, 
 Mass.; Keene, N. H.; Swanzey, N. H.; Dedham, Mass.; Lex- 
 ington, Mass. ; and Littleton, Mass. : —

 "Christian Brethren, — The Congregational Church and So- 
 ciety in Dublin, N. H., having with great unanimity invited Mr. Levi 
 W. Leonard to settle with them as their Christian minister, and he 
 having accepted the invitation, requests you, by your pastor and 
 delegates, to assist at his ordination, on Wednesday, the sixth day of 
 September next [ 1 820] . 
 
 "Yours, with sentiments of respect and Christian charity." 
 
 The following is the result of the council that convened on the 
 occasion of Mr. Leonard's ordination : —

 To the preceding list should be added the names of the 
 pastors, who w^ere officially connected with the church, through 
 the nature of their office. These were: 1. Rev. Joseph Farrar, 
 ordained, June 10, 1772; 2. Rev. Edward Sprague, ordained, 
 Nov. 12, 1777; 3. Rev. Levi W. Learned, D.D., ordained, Sept. 
 6, 1820; 4. Rev. William F. Bridge, installed, June 13, 1855; 
 5. Rev. George M. Rice, installed, May 16, 1866; 6. Rev. Has- 
 ket D. Catlin, installed, June 28, 1882; 7. Rev. Granville Pierce, 
 who began his work without installation, Oct. 1, 1886; 8. Rev. 
 George W^ Patten, who began labor, without formal installation, 
 Feb. 12, 1890; 9. Rev. George Willis Cooke, who began his 
 ministrj^ without formal installation, Jan. 1, 1898; 10. Rev. 
 Frankhn K. Gilford, installed, June 6, 1900; 11. Rev. Josiah L. 
 Seward, D.D., who began duty, without formal installation, 
 May 11, 1902. The names of Messrs. Bridge and Rice have 
 already appeared in the roll of the church. Mr. Farrar was not 
 married while living in Dublin. Mrs. Hannah Fitch, wife of 
 Rev. Edward Sprague, was imdoubtedly a communicant, and 
 her name was doubtless upon the original roll of the church 
 members, which has not come to us in a perfect form. The two 
 wives of Dr. Leonard, and the wives of Rev. Messrs. Bridge and 
 Rice, are enrolled. Wives of ministers, since Mr. Rice closed 
 his labors, did not transfer their church membership to this 
 church, but were, of course, communicants and interested in 
 the cause. 
 
 The first meetinghouse stood on the north side of the 
 old road, opposite the narrow entrance to the most ancient 
 part of the grave-yard, which is near the monuments of the 
 Spragues. At a meeting of the proprietors, on May 27, 1767, it 
 was voted to build a meetinghouse fifty feet long and thirty- 
 eight feet wide, and to raise a tax of four dollars on each right 
 to build the same. Moses Adams, Henry Strongman, and Wil- 
 liam Greenwood were appointed a committee to effect the work. 
 At a meeting of the proprietors, Dec. 22, 1768, it was voted to 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 255 
 
 raise three more dollars on each right, to be used in building 
 the meetinghouse. It was several years before this meeting- 
 house was completed, but it was so far on the way to comple- 
 tion that it was first used, for a town-meeting, Sept. 10, 1771. 
 It was used thereafter for public worship, but we find no record 
 of any formal dedication. It continued to be used for religious 
 worship until the dedication of the second meetinghouse on the 
 third day of December, 1818. It was not heated in the winter, 
 and Mr. Sprague, in the latter part of his pastorate, used a 
 hall, which he owned, for religious services, during the winter 
 months. 
 
 The second meetinghouse stood very nearly upon the site 
 of the summer residence of Mrs. Horace P. Farnham, near the 
 southern end of the tenth lot of the sixth range. After a vote of 
 March, 1808, "to build a new meetinghouse," a committee of 
 nine were chosen "to pitch upon a place to set the meeting- 
 house." This committee consisted of Samuel Twitchell, Esq.; 
 Asa Fisk, Jr.; Eli Greenwood; Phinehas Gleason; David Town- 
 send; Isaac Appleton; Thaddeus Morse, Esq.; John Morse; and 
 Aaron Appleton. They were required to make their report in 
 August. No report was made in August; but in March, 1809, 
 an article was inserted in the warrant "to see what method the 
 town will take to agree where the new meetinghouse shall be 
 built, or act anything relating thereto." The article was dis- 
 missed. In March, 1810, the article was "to see if the town will 
 build a new meetinghouse, or repair the old one." This article 
 met the same fate as that of 1809; but, in August, 1810, the 
 town chose "Esq. Griffin of Packersfield, Esq. Farrar of Marl- 
 borough, Esq. Gates of Hancock, Lieut. Buss of Jaffrey, and 
 Mr. Oliver Carter of Peterborough, to pitch upon a spot for the 
 meetinghouse to stand upon in this town." This committee 
 reported, November 26, the same year, and their report was ac- 
 cepted; but the record does not say what spot they pitched 
 upon for said meetinghouse; but it is supposed to have been 
 north of Joseph Appleton's blacksmith shop. At an adjourned 
 meeting, November 28, the town voted "to do something rela- 
 tive to building a new meetinghouse." What was meant by 
 "something" in the foregoing vote is manifest from the succeed- 
 ing votes: "Voted to choose a committee to let out the putting 
 up of a frame for a meetinghouse. Richard Gilchrest, Thaddeus 
 Morse, and Aaron Appleton were chosen for said committee. 
 Voted that the frame should be raised one year from next June. 
 Voted that the said committee provide suitable underpinning 
 
256 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 stones, and door steps; likewise materials suitable to cover the 
 outside of the frame, and to have it done the same season that 
 the frame is put up. Voted that the committee have liberty to 
 get timber on the town's lands. Voted that the selectmen pro- 
 cure a deed of the meetinghouse spot." 
 
 The report of a committee, who drew a plan for the new meet- 
 inghouse, had been accepted, and, in view of the whole matter, 
 it would have been reasonable to suppose that in less than two 
 years the house would be completed. But, at the annual meet- 
 ing, in March, 1811, although an attempt to postpone the build- 
 ing of the house failed, and two of the committee, R. Gilchrest 
 and T. Morse, declined serving, yet others were appointed in 
 their places; and said committee were empowered "to sell public 
 lands," and the vote was still against the spot on schoolhouse 
 hill. But another meeting was called, April 30, and the town 
 voted "to dismiss the committee that were appointed to make 
 preparations for building a new meetinghouse, and to pay them 
 honorably for what services they have done respecting the 
 same." The vote to sell public lands was reconsidered. The 
 subject, however, was not to rest here, for. May 27, another 
 meeting was held, and the town "voted to set the meetinghouse 
 on schoolhouse hill"; also "voted to reinstate the former com- 
 mittee to their office, and that they go on with the business that 
 they were appointed for." "Then voted to set the meetinghouse 
 in Esq. Snow's field. Voted against repairing the old meeting- 
 house; and chose Mr. Evleth, Capt. Gleason, and Major 
 Morse to fix the spot to set the meetinghouse upon." The select- 
 men were authorized to purchase land for the house on school- 
 house hill; and eighty dollars were voted to prepare the land. 
 Here there seemed to be progress; but not so; for, September 24, 
 same year, the town "voted that they are not prepared to 
 build a meetinghouse on the schoolhouse hill"; also, "voted to 
 repair the old meetinghouse." This was a triumph for the op- 
 posers of building a new meetinghouse. But the advocates of a 
 new house called a meeting on the eleventh day of November, 
 and the articles which have reference to the old subject were 
 "to see if the town will excuse those people denominated Bap- 
 tist and Methodist from paying anything towards building a 
 new meetinghouse, provided the town should ever build one, 
 or act anything relating thereto." This article was passed over. 
 Then the next article was taken up for consideration. It was 
 as follows: "To see if the town will bind themselves by their 
 vote to build a meetinghouse on the spot of ground that shall 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 257 
 
 be thought the most suitable by a disinterested committee 
 chosen from the five adjoining towns." This article was dis- 
 missed, and the new meetinghouse project was again defeated. 
 
 The subject of building a new meetinghouse was not brought 
 forward again till the third day of July, 1815. It was laid on the 
 shelf during the whole time of the war with Great Britain; but, 
 then, the Dublin meetinghouse war was revived, and the article 
 in the warrant was "to see if the town will build a new meeting- 
 house or repair the old one, or act anything respecting a meet- 
 inghouse." Notwithstanding the vote of 1811 to repair the old 
 house, it seems that nothing had been done, and now the town 
 voted against repairing it. Then, "voted to set a new meeting- 
 house on schoolhouse hill." "Voted to choose a committee of 
 three to stake out a spot for the meetinghouse, and to see how 
 it can be purchased of the owner or owners for the use of 
 the town, and report at some future meeting. Chose for the 
 committee Whitcomb French, Thaddeus Morse, and Samuel 
 Fisk." 
 
 Here was another beginning; but, at a meeting on the fourth 
 of September, same year, the town voted to postpone acting on 
 the subject. Postponing, however, was not dismissing the 
 subject. Accordingly, in March, 1816, the town "voted to ac- 
 cept the report of the committee which were appointed to stake 
 out a spot for a new meetinghouse on the schoolhouse hill, 
 which report is to purchase about one acre of land of Aaron Ap- 
 pleton, and one acre of John Snow, Esq., which land can be had 
 for one hundred dollars per acre." Nothing more was voted or 
 done with respect to a new meetinghouse till March, 1817, when 
 the question respecting the spot again came up, and the town 
 "voted to choose two men to nominate a committee of eight, — 
 four to belong to the west part, and four to the east part of the 
 town, — to agree upon a spot for the new meetinghouse to stand 
 upon. Chose Isaac Appleton and Phinehas Gleason as the com- 
 mittee of nomination; and they nominated Thaddeus Mason, 
 Samuel Fisk, Amos Emery, David Townsend, Ruggles Smith, 
 Joseph Gowing, Joseph Hay ward, Jr., and Stephen J. Woods, 
 which nomination was accepted, and the town voted that they 
 make their report at this meeting." The committee reported 
 that "the meetinghouse be set north of Joseph Appleton's 
 blacksmith shop, and that the road be turned south of the 
 Potash to the post-guide south of Esq. Snow's, and thence 
 south of the burial ground across the point of the pond to inter- 
 sect the road that leads from the old meetinghouse to Capt. 
 
258 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Hayward's." "Chose a committee of five to agree for the spot 
 for the meetinghouse to stand upon, — to procure materials to 
 build said house with." 
 
 On the eighth of June, 1817, the "long agony" about the new 
 meetinghouse was over, but not without changing the spot. 
 In the first place, the town voted against turning the road ac- 
 cording to the committee's report, which had been accepted. 
 Next, they voted against building the meetinghouse north of 
 Joseph Appleton's blacksmith shop. Then "voted to build a 
 meetinghouse on the schoolhouse hill, and have it completed in 
 one year from November next." After this, strange as it may 
 appear, the town "voted to build the meetinghouse on the spot 
 where the old meetinghouse now stands, in preference to build- 
 ing it on the schoolhouse hill." In favor of the old spot, forty- 
 four; against it, thirty-three. This last vote was reconsidered 
 immediately; and then the town "voted to choose a committee 
 of five to procure a spot to build the meetinghouse upon, and 
 procure materials for building said house with. Chose for the 
 committee Capt. Ebenezer Richardson, Thaddeus Morse, Esq., 
 Lieut. Thaddeus Mason, Jr., Rufus Piper, and Samuel Fisk." 
 At an adjourned meeting, June 23, the committee reported in 
 favor of the spot on the schoolhouse hill, and their report was 
 accepted by a vote of eighty against thirty-seven. John Crom- 
 bie was appointed on the building committee in the place of 
 Samuel Fisk, who asked to be excused. Joshua Greenwood and 
 Moses Marshall were chosen in addition to the meetinghouse 
 committee. The building committee were to make the house 
 "after the plan of Ashby, or Fitzwilliam, or any other they may 
 think proper." They were directed to purchase the materials, 
 and to let out the building of the same. The selectmen were in- 
 structed to level the meetinghouse spot. In October, two hun- 
 dred dollars were raised for this purpose. 
 
 The change of the town's vote, with regard to the spot, on 
 the eighth of June, was owing, in part, to the high price asked 
 for the land, and, in part, to the expense of making the road 
 which was recommended by the committee. The making of 
 this road would have given the west part of the town easier 
 access to the meetinghouse, if situated as proposed; that is, 
 on a spot a little north-east of the site of the former brick 
 church. Mr. Sprague, it is said, was strongly opposed to the 
 spot on the hill, on account of its bleak position. He is reported 
 to have said that he never would preach in a house placed 
 there.

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 259 
 
 This meetinghouse was finally completed, after all the discus- 
 sion and contention which its erection had occasioned. It was 
 dedicated to the worship of Almighty God on Dec. 3, 1818. 
 The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Thomas Beede of Wilton. 
 The edifice had been raised the previous June, and the raising, 
 which lasted two or three days, was a joyous occasion, for which 
 many former residents assembled, to join their former fellow 
 townsmen, and renew the acquaintances of former days. Both 
 the exterior and the interior of this edifice were of a very beau- 
 tiful architectural design. The spire was one of the most ele- 
 gant and attractive works of its kind to be found in this part of 
 the country. It was admired by travellers, and its demolition, 
 at a later time, removed one of the most beautiful landmarks 
 of the neighborhood. The galleries were supported by graceful, 
 slender, fluted columns, with handsome capitals. The high pul- 
 pit, shaped like the half of a tall vase, was rich in mouldings and 
 decorative designs. Over it was one of those elaborate, bell- 
 shaped sounding-boards, the base being relieved with panels. 
 Behind the pulpit was a mass of wine-red draperies, hanging in 
 graceful festoons, caught up by stout cords, on the ends of which 
 were large tassels. In front of the pulpit was a mahogany com- 
 munion-table, in the form of the segment of a circle. The pews 
 were of the rectangular, high-backed variety, each provided 
 with a panelled door, and the seats all facing the pulpit. These 
 pews were owned by individuals as real estate, whose rights had 
 to be purchased before removing the edifice. 
 
 The third meetinghouse of the First Congregational (Uni- 
 tarian) Society, and the one now used by them, was not ob- 
 tained without a considerable amount of deliberation and 
 controversy. As usual, under such circumstances, there were 
 many opinions about the locality of the new structure, as well 
 as about the style of the architecture and the expense of the 
 building. 
 
 After the meetinghouse on the hill came into possession of the 
 First Congregational Society, so far as the right or ownership 
 of the town was concerned, the question of repairing the house, 
 or of taking it down and using its materials in the erection of 
 another house on some other spot, was frequently discussed. 
 The old house, standing in a bleak position, had suffered from 
 its exposure to the winds and rains, and considerable expense 
 would have to be incurred in order to have it thoroughly re- 
 paired. An article in the warrant for the annual meeting of the 
 society, March 21, 1848, "to see what measures, if any, the 
 
260 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 society will take to move, alter, or repair their meetinghouse 
 the coming season," was dismissed. In 1849, the society "voted 
 that a committee of five be raised to ascertain the cost of a site 
 for a meetinghouse, the probable expense of taking down the 
 old house and rebuilding it in a suitable form, and how funds 
 can be raised to pay for the same; together with such other in- 
 formation as they may be able to obtain, in order that the so- 
 ciety may have a full understanding of the subject; and report 
 at a future meeting. Calvin Mason, Rufus Piper, Jacob Gleason, 
 Jesse R. Appleton, and Ephraim Foster were chosen said com- 
 mittee." 
 
 At the annual meeting, Jan. 8, 1850, the above-named com- 
 mittee made a report favorable to the removal of the meeting- 
 house, and Calvin Mason, Jacob Gleason, and Jesse R. Appleton 
 were chosen a committee to take measures "to have the pews 
 in the centre meetinghouse appraised by a disinterested com- 
 mittee, and report at the next meeting." An article to hear 
 the report of this committee, Jan. 14, 1851, was dismissed, and 
 the society "voted to instruct the executive committee to ex- 
 amine the meetinghouse, and cause to be made such repairs as 
 they may deem expedient." The committee did not think it 
 expedient to make repairs; and, at the annual meeting, Jan. 
 13, 1852, the society "voted, yeas thirty-three, nays nine, that 
 the church be taken down, and a new one built on a plan ap- 
 proved by the society, on land of Josephus Snow, southwardly 
 of Rev. Mr. Leonard's house, provided funds can be raised 
 by voluntary subscription; and provided further, that the 
 pew-owners can be settled with on reasonable terms. Voted 
 that a committee of three be chosen by ballot to report to 
 the society the proper method of settling with the pew- 
 owners, the probable cost and plan of a meetinghouse. Chose 
 J. K. Smith, Calvin Mason, and Charles W. Pierce for said 
 committee." 
 
 At an adjourned meeting, February 3, a report was read by 
 the committee, in which they said that progress had been made 
 in reference to settling with the pew-owners; and that they 
 estimated the expense of taking down the old church and erect- 
 ing a new one at two thousand dollars. The society then voted 
 that said committee continue their inquiries on the subjects 
 referred to them. The meeting was adjourned to February 23. 
 In the meantime many persons joined the society who were 
 opposed to the location of the church in the place where it had 
 been voted to erect it; and, after the committee, who were in- 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 261 
 
 structed to continue inquiries, had presented a report, a mo- 
 tion was made "to reconsider the vote to build a new meeting- 
 house on the spot that is now contemplated." The yeas and 
 nays were called for, and the result was, yeas, thirty-two, nays 
 thirty-two. The moderator voting made the number of yeas 
 and nays equal ; consequently it was not declared a vote to re- 
 consider. The meeting was adjourned to the first Monday in 
 April. 
 
 At the adjourned meeting, the following resolution, with the 
 preamble, was adopted: yeas, fifty-three, nays none: — 
 
 "Whereas there is a division of opinion among the members of 
 the First Congregational Society in Dublin as to the proper site of a 
 new church, therefore - — 
 
 "Resolved, That the question of the location of a new church be 
 referred to a disinterested committee." 
 
 The rest of the resolution prescribes the mode of appointing 
 this committee, and includes a reconsideration of the former 
 vote respecting the location of the church on the land of Jose- 
 phus Snow. 
 
 At the same meeting, the following resolution, with the pre- 
 amble, was adopted : yeas, thirty-four, nays none : — 
 
 "Whereas the decision of a disinterested committee should be 
 final, therefore — 
 
 "Resolved, That we, as individuals, will not in any way directly or 
 indirectly oppose the decision of the committee, or countenance it 
 in others; neither will we oppose the erection of a new church upon 
 the spot which they may designate." 
 
 The committee to whom the location of the church was re- 
 ferred were Messrs. Leonard Stone of Templeton, Mass.; 
 Thomas Stevens of Pepperell, Mass.; and Howard Gates of 
 Ashby, Mass. The essential part of the report of the above 
 committee was: "We are unanimously of opinion that the meet- 
 inghouse should be erected on or near where the house of Daniel 
 Fiske now stands." 
 
 The whole matter of building the new meetinghouse was re- 
 ferred to the stockholders. A share was twenty dollars; and 
 the following is the list of the stockholders, with the number 
 of shares taken by each annexed. The building committee were 
 Jonathan K. Smith, Charles A. Hamilton, and Charles W. 
 Pierce.

 The new meetinghouse was dedicated, March 2, 1853. The 
 sermon was delivered by the pastor, the Rev. Levi W. Leonard, 
 D.D., and was printed at the request of the society. 
 
 The right of the town in the meetinghouse was a matter 
 that had to be adjusted before the society could dispose of the 
 second church edifice and build a new one. As the meetinghouse 
 of the First Congregational (now Unitarian) Society was built 
 by the town before the passage of the "Toleration Law," the 
 town held a right of property in it. On several occasions, prop- 
 ositions were made to sell the town's right, but they all failed 
 of adoption till 1847. The following article was inserted in the 
 warrant for town-meeting of that year: "To see what order 
 the town will take in regard to the meetinghouse built by the 
 town, or act any way in relation to said house." The result 
 was: "Voted that the town sell at auction all the right they own 
 in the meetinghouse built by the town." "Voted that the select- 
 men give notice of the time of sale." At a meeting, July 8th of 
 the same year, Calvin Mason was chosen an agent, with au- 
 thority "to convey to the purchaser all the right, interest, and 
 

 CHURCH IX DUBLIN, X. H. 
 
 ERECTED. IS.5'2: DEDICATED, MAK( H, 1S.5;! 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 263 
 
 property that the town own in said house." In accordance 
 with the foregoing votes, the house was sold by auction, and 
 purchased by Thaddeus Morse. At a meeting of the First Con- 
 gregational Society, Oct. 8, 1847, "Voted that the society pur- 
 chase the right to the centre meetinghouse bought by Thaddeus 
 Morse." The said right was purchased of Mr. Morse by the so- 
 ciety for what it cost him. 
 
 Warming the church was a subject which occasioned no 
 little debate. At a meeting of the town, June 5, 1820, "Voted 
 that the First Congregational Society in Dublin have the use 
 of the new meetinghouse for the purpose of attending public 
 worship and other ecclesiastical purposes, reserving to the 
 owners of pews their right." The seats for the singers were not 
 included in the above vote. The above vote was not considered 
 as authority for warming the house with a stove. Accordingly, 
 the following article was inserted in the warrant for a town- 
 meeting, March 12, 1822: "To see if the town will consent that 
 the Congregational Society put a stove into the new meeting- 
 house." The town "voted against having a stove put into the 
 new meetinghouse." In consequence of the above refusal, the 
 society, Dec. 31, 1823, "voted to have only one service on sab- 
 bath days, until the annual meeting in March next; the service 
 to commence precisely at 12 o'clock at noon." This arrange- 
 ment did not prove satisfactory; and, in subsequent winters, 
 when the severity of the cold was very great, the schoolhouse on 
 the hill, as it could easily be warmed, was taken as a place of 
 worship. In 1827, the town gave leave to have a stove placed 
 in the church; but some men of influence were still opposed to the 
 measure, and a stove was not procured. But, in the year 1830, 
 many persons were determined that the place of worship should 
 be made comfortable; a subscription was raised for procuring 
 two stoves for the meetinghouse; and they obtained a policy of 
 insurance for the house, in case of its being burned in conse- 
 quence of putting up the stoves. A short experience in a warm 
 church changed public opinion. No more objections were ever 
 expressed, and those who had been most opposed to stoves 
 seemed equally with the rest to rejoice in the comfort of their 
 warmth. 
 
 Previous to this arrangement, the only heat in the church was 
 derived from the little foot-stoves brought into the pews, more 
 generally for the use of women and children. These little re- 
 ceptacles were supplied with live coals from the spacious fire- 
 places in neighboring houses, whose occupants generously 
 
264 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 built good fires on Sunday mornings, that there might be an 
 abundance of coals for such a purpose. The first meetinghouse 
 was never provided with any other kind of heat. The third and 
 present church edifice has been heated by furnaces since the 
 autumn of 1892. The furnaces were introduced in accordance 
 with a vote of the society passed Sept. 24, 1892. 
 
 Lighting the church was not a matter of serious consider- 
 ation in the early days, because there were no evening services. 
 The worshippers lived in various parts of the township; some of 
 them several miles from the place of worship, and evening serv- 
 ices were altogether impracticable. It is not probable that the 
 old first meetinghouse, near the cemetery, was ever lighted, un- 
 less there was some unusual reason for doing so. If there were, 
 tallow candles would have been used for the purpose. The 
 second meetinghouse, which stood upon the hill, was seldom 
 lighted, as there were no evening services, while that edifice 
 was used for worship, except upon some extraordinary occasion, 
 when candles or whale-oil lamps were used. The present edifice 
 was lighted, at first, when necessary, with whale-oil lamps, 
 which were replaced by kerosene-oil lamps, after the introduc- 
 tion of that illuminant. This method of lighting continued 
 until the spring of 1900, when electric lighting was introduced, 
 the arrangements being finally completed on the first of May. 
 The audience room is seldom lighted, because, as of old, the 
 worshippers are so scattered over the town that evening services 
 are not convenient. The vestry is frequently used for assem- 
 blies, lectures, entertainments by the Sewing Circle, and other 
 appropriate exercises, and the electric lighting has proved a 
 great convenience. 
 
 Aqueduct water from an excellent spring was introduced 
 into the basement of the meetinghouse by the society in 1912, 
 and has proved a great convenience to the ladies, who have a 
 well-equipped kitchen, which serves their purpose well on oc- 
 casions when collations are served. 
 
 Sacred music, singing-masters, and singing-schools are 
 to be considered in connection with the history of this society. 
 Owing to the want of psalm or hymn-books, it was the practice, 
 in the early days of the Dublin church, as in other churches, 
 for the minister to read the whole hymn; and, after that, one 
 of the deacons read one line, which the choir sang, and then 
 he read another, which was also sung; and so on, reading and 
 singing, alternating till the hymn was finished. This was called 
 ''deaconing" the lines. Even after the choir were supplied with 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 26.5 
 
 books, the practice was not wholly discontinued. The deacon, 
 however, in such a case, would read two lines or a stanza, which 
 the choir sang after him, using their books at the same time. 
 When the practice was changed in Dublin is not known ; but it 
 has been said, that one of the deacons was disturbed by the 
 change, and expressed much dissatisfaction. 
 
 Joseph Greenwood, Esq., is said to have been the first leader 
 of the singers in the Dublin church. Among those who were 
 leaders after him, we find the following names, but the list may 
 not be complete: Ebenezer Twitchell, Benjamin Mason, Kim- 
 ball Ames, John Perry, Joseph Twitchell, Jr., Joshua Flint, 
 Samuel Fisher, Nahum Warren, Moses Adams, Jr., Abraham 
 Mead, Reuben W. Twitchell, Benjamin F. Morse, Corydon 
 Jones, and Joseph Morse; and, still more recently, John H. 
 Mason. For many years, the singing has been furnished by an 
 excellent quartette, among whom there has been a somewhat 
 mutual leadership, the care of the singing being under the 
 general oversight of Mrs. C. W. Leffingwell, who, for many 
 years, has generously favored the society with her services. It 
 would be an impossibility to recall the names of all the singers. 
 For that reason, no list of them can be attempted. It is proper, 
 however, to acknowledge the long and faithful services of the 
 present bass and soprano singers (Mr. and Mrs. Wm. W. 
 Andrew), which have been rendered gratuitously for a long pe- 
 riod. The organists cannot all be remembered. Those who 
 have officiated since the writer's connection with the church 
 have been: Mrs. Laura W. (Rice) Piper, Mrs. Clifford Gowing 
 (now deceased), and Mrs. George H. Preston. Others have 
 played for short intervals, during the illness or temporary 
 absence of the regular organists. 
 
 The first teacher of sacred music in Dublin is supposed to 
 have been Joseph Abbot, whose school was provided with a 
 room in the house of the Rev. Mr. Sprague. The names of 
 other instructors in this branch are imperfectly remembered. 
 We give the following, the individual names of many of them 
 being unknown: Mr. Pratt; Mr. Hamilton; Jacob P. Willard 
 of Ashby, Mass.; Mr. Cutter; N. D. Gould; James Robbins of 
 Templeton, Mass.; John Clark of New Ipswich; Mr. Barrett; 
 Samuel Slade of Alstead; Nahum Warren; Col. Newhall of 
 Boston; Charles S. Symonds; Mr. Mason of Shrewsbury, Mass.; 
 Moses Adams, Jr., of Dublin; Mr. Sanborn; Mr. Hutchins; Peter 
 Clark of New Ipswich; C. S. Grossman; and Osgood Collister. 
 
 For the support of singing-schools, the town made occasional 
 
266 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 appropriations of money. In 1819, fifty dollars were voted for 
 that purpose, to be laid out at the discretion of the selectmen. 
 Mr. Robbins was employed as the teacher. A portion of the 
 singers in town were dissatisfied. Another teacher was engaged 
 by the opposing party, and two singing-schools were kept. 
 The controversy was ostensibly about the style of singing; Mr. 
 Robbins, it was alleged, teaching his pupils to sing with undue 
 loudness, and without suitable expression. The result was that 
 two choirs of singers were formed, each claiming the seats in 
 the church, and each having its leader. On the first Sunday in 
 April, 1820, a candidate for the ministry began to preach, and 
 both choirs assembled in the church; one occupying the seats 
 designed for the singers, and the other the free seats in the side 
 gallery. The service began with the reading of a hymn. The 
 leaders named different tunes; the pitch for each tune was given, 
 and the hymn was sung by each choir, making, at times, no 
 small discord. The preacher supposing, or hoping, that singing 
 once in this way would prove satisfactory to both parties, and 
 that they would not attempt to sing different tunes together a 
 second time, read another hymn; but different tunes were again 
 named and sung; the opposing party, however, having selected 
 a tune with a slow movement, had the advantage, or privilege, 
 of singing the last stanza alone. Before the minister proceeded 
 in the service, Mr. Alexander Eames arose from a pew in the 
 north-west corner of the gallery, and addressed both choirs, 
 reproving them for suffering any circumstances to lead to such 
 an exhibition in the house of God, reminding them of the en- 
 couragement which the town had given for their instruction in 
 sacred music, and of the obligation that rested upon them of 
 engaging in the performance of that part of divine worship in 
 a decent and orderly manner. No more hymns were read on 
 that day, nor on the day of public fast, which occurred in that 
 week; because it was perceived that both choirs were present, 
 and would probably sing as before, in case a hymn should be 
 read. As the town had reserved the control of the singers' seats, 
 a meeting was called for the purpose of deciding who should 
 have the right to occupy them as leaders of the choir. In the 
 meantime, however, both choirs agreed to sing together, pro- 
 vided Mr. Henry Whitcomb, then a resident, would take the 
 lead. He did so, and continued to lead till the decision of the 
 town was obtained. The article in reference to this subject, in- 
 serted in the warrant for the town-meeting, was, "To see what 
 method the town will take to ensure and establish regularity 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 267 
 
 and harmony in our public religious services, particularly in 
 the department of sacred music, or act anything in relation to 
 measures to restore and perpetuate order in the musical de- 
 partment." The action taken by the town in reference to the 
 above article was as follows: "Voted to choose leaders, to take 
 the lead of the singing in this town for one year, and that they 
 be chosen by ballot. Chose Joshua Flint, Abijah Richardson, 
 Jr., and Jeremiah Greenwood, leaders on the tenor; chose 
 Zadock Chapman, Luke Richardson, and Cyrus Mason, on the 
 bass. Voted to give up the front seats in the gallery of the 
 new meetinghouse for one year, for the use of the singers, or 
 leaders above-named, and all those who may sing peaceably 
 under them." In the succeeding winter. Deacon John Clark of 
 New Ipswich was employed to teach a singing-school. It was 
 a union school, and, at its close, a society was formed, with a 
 constitution, which secured the regular conduct of the singing 
 in the church; and, in some of its main features, was still ob- 
 served in Dr. Leonard's time. 
 
 Instrumental music in the church has always been a 
 matter of much interest. No instruments, except a pitch-pipe, 
 were used in the church, till some years after 1790, when a bass- 
 viol was introduced and played by Amos Babcock. He was the 
 maker of the said instrument. He was apprehensive that tak- 
 ing it to the church would create dissatisfaction. Moses Marshall 
 urged him to take such a step, and offered to carry the violin to 
 the singers' seats, if he would use it. Mr. Babcock consented. 
 The viol was placed in the front seat; and, though some were 
 opposed, yet, as Mr. Sprague was decidedly in favor of the 
 instrument's being used in the choir, it occasioned no serious 
 disturbance. After Mr. Babcock, Moses Marshall played the 
 bass-viol in the church through a period of fifteen years. In 
 subsequent years, many instruments of different kinds were 
 used, — violins, flutes, clarionets, and bassoons. Richard Phil- 
 lips, 2d, was distinguished for his power of execution on the 
 double-bass-viol, and on the wind instrument called the trom- 
 bone, which he occasionally took into the church. 
 
 The meetinghouse on the hill was taken down in 1852; but, 
 before the present church edifice was completed, the following 
 letter was received by the executive committee of the society : — 
 
 "To the First Congregational Society in Dublin. 
 
 " Wishing to promote the harmony and good fellowship of the re- 
 Hgious society of my own denomination in my native town, I hereby 
 
268 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 present an organ to be placed in your new meetinghouse, for the pur- 
 pose of aiding in public worship; at all times to be under the immedi- 
 ate care and control of the executive committee of said society and 
 their successors in office. 
 
 " With the highest regards for your temporal and spiritual welfare, 
 I remain your faithful friend and humble servant, 
 
 Solo. Piper." 
 
 "Boston, Feb. 25, 1853." 
 
 To the above letter the following reply was made: — 
 
 "First Congregational Society of Dublin 
 to Solomon Piper, Esq. 
 
 "' Dear Sir, — We hereby acknowledge the receipt of your favor 
 of the 25th instant, addressed to our society, in which you are pleased, 
 for reasons assigned, to present an organ to be placed in our new 
 meetinghouse, for the purpose of aiding in public worship. A fine- 
 toned and beautiful instrument has also come to hand, and is duly 
 installed in its place. 
 
 "We could not repress the expression of our feelings towards you 
 until we have a regular, legal meeting. The society, therefore, held 
 an informal meeting, which was numerously attended; and the under- 
 signed were appointed a committee to express to you the gratitude of 
 the society for your munificent, timely, and appropriate gift. It is 
 munificent, on account of its cost and its intrinsic value, compared 
 with any advantages you have personally received from your native 
 town; timely, as it comes to us just in season to be the crowning 
 glory of our new church; and appropriate, because, being a combina- 
 tion of harmonies itself, it is typical of that 'harmony and good 
 fellowship' which should ever characterize members of the same re- 
 ligious society; and, in our case, we think it will aid materially in 
 bringing about what it typifies. We trust that it will indeed prove an 
 aid to our public worship; that its sweet sounds will rightly attune 
 our hearts to the praise of God, and lift our thoughts reverently from 
 our frail temple to that house not made with hands, 'which is eternal 
 in the heavens.' 
 
 " Be pleased, dear sir, to accept the unfeigned thanks of the society, 
 whose welfare you have so much at heart, and our personal wishes 
 that every blessing may be yours, both in time and eternity. 
 
 "Very gratefully and respectfully, your friends and servants, 
 
 JoNA. K. Smith, 1 
 Asa H. Fisk, [ Committee" 
 Asa Heald, J 
 
 "Dublin, Feb. 28, 1853." 
 
 That organ is still in use (1916). Efforts have been made to 
 secure a larger instrument, with greater facilities for playing 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 269 
 
 elegant and artistic compositions, with all the possibilities of 
 expression which can be produced by expert performers; but 
 the sweet tones of the present organ, the great respect in which 
 the memory of the donor is held, not to speak of the expense 
 of making a change, have caused all such efforts to end in fail- 
 ure. At the annual meeting of the society, January 8, 1907, a 
 committee was appointed to ascertain if the necessary funds 
 could be raised to procure a more modern organ, but the efforts 
 of the committee did not effect such a result. 
 
 The Bible now in use in the pulpit was a gift. At the open- 
 ing of the new meetinghouse for public worship, Mr. Solomon 
 Piper of Boston, the same who presented the organ, presented 
 a Bible and two hymn-books, bound in a substantial and costly 
 manner, for the pulpit. The same Bible is still in use (in 1916), 
 having been rebound, but is getting somewhat dilapidated- 
 
 The Hymns used in the choir and congregation, till the au- 
 tumn of 1822, were those of Dr. Watts. At that time, Dabney's 
 Collection was introduced, and continued to be used till June, 
 1845. A committee of the Cheshire Pastoral Association, con- 
 sisting of L. W. Leonard, A. A. Livermore, W. A. Whitwell, and 
 C. Cutler, had prepared a collection of hymns, entitled, "Chris- 
 tian Hymns, for Public and Private Worship." This book was 
 introduced, and continued to be used by the First Congrega- 
 tional Society in Dublin until a hymn-book was issued by the 
 American Unitarian Association. The hymn-book issued by the 
 Cheshire Pastoral Association, and which was used so many 
 years in Dublin, was an admirable collection, and its merits 
 were very widely recognized. Originally intended more par- 
 ticularly for the use of the local churches, it was eventually 
 used by about seventy societies of the Unitarian denomination. 
 
 In 1877, the American Unitarian Association issued a revised 
 edition of the Hymn and Tune Book which they had published 
 a few years previously. The society adopted this revised edi- 
 tion of the work, and it has been used in the church contin- 
 uously since. It has again been revised, but the edition of 1877 
 still holds its place in the church. 
 
 The clock in the tower of the Unitarian church had for- 
 merly been located in the tower of the Unitarian church in 
 Keene. That edifice was demolished, in 1894, preparatory to 
 the erection of a new stone church on Washington Street. The 
 clock was not placed in the tower of the new edifice, no pro- 
 vision for such a purpose having been made. It was a gift to 
 the Unitarian society in Keene by John Elliot, a native of 
 
270 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Dublin, and a prominent trader and glass-manufacturer in 
 Keene. The clock was purchased through a subscription pro- 
 moted by Mrs. Horace Hamilton, and brought to Dublin and 
 set up in the tower of the Unitarian meetinghouse by Jean P. 
 Howes of Keene. In its former location, it was a good time- 
 keeper. In its present position it has not worked well; it does 
 not keep perfect time, and the striking weight does not work 
 properly. It can probably be repaired so that it would work 
 more satisfactorily. 
 
 Gifts to the society, not previously mentioned in this 
 chapter, include : — 
 
 1. A gift of $1000 from Solomon Piper, a constant bene- 
 factor of the society, accompanying a communication dated, 
 January 2, 1860, which the society voted to accept, with an 
 appropriate expression of thanks, at a meeting held, January 
 10, 1860. 
 
 2. A bequest of Capt. Jacob Gleason, whose will was dated, 
 February 27, 1873. The amount of the bequest was $250 
 which the society voted to accept, November 11, 1873. 
 
 3. A gift of $400 from Miss Betsy Twitch ell, on March 
 12, 1874, which the society voted to accept, with an expression 
 of thanks, on April 18, 1874. 
 
 4. A bequest by Jonathan K. Smith, amounting, in 1915, 
 to $1626.33, which the society voted to accept, October 20, 
 1880. 
 
 5. The clock which hangs in the vestry, first publicly seen 
 in its present position, April 4, 1884; presented by Joseph 
 WiLLARD Powers. 
 
 6. A book-rest, placed upon the pulpit-cushion, to elevate 
 the Bible, for the convenience of clergymen who are above 
 the average height; presented by Mrs. Horace P. Farnham, 
 June 1, 1902. 
 
 7. Two large green-pottery vases, of graceful design, for use 
 on or about the pulpit; presented, July 1, 1912, by Mrs. Mary 
 L. Jones. 
 
 8. The gift of $1000 for the benefit of the society, presented 
 through Mr. Frederick C. Go wing, by a person whose name 
 was not permitted to be made public, was accepted by the 
 society, January 8, 1907, to be called the "Emergency Fund." 
 At the annual meeting, January 11, 1916, the donor having 
 become known, it was voted to call it the "Elizabeth Snow 
 Fund." 
 
 A cabinet was placed in the vestry, in the summer of 1912, 
 
JACOB GLEASON 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 271 
 
 to hold articles illustrating Biblical texts, for the use of the 
 Sunday School, procured by Mrs. M. D. Mason. 
 
 A cabinet to hold the communion service was put into the 
 church in 1915. 
 
 The deacons of the First Congregational (Unitarian) 
 Church have been a succession of worthy men and honored 
 citizens. There is no record of the time when the first deacons 
 were chosen. Eli Morse and Benjamin Learned were in office 
 when Mr. Sprague was ordained, and, beyond any reasonable 
 doubt, they were elected at the time of the organization of the 
 church, June 10, 1772, the day on which Mr. Farrar was or- 
 dained. Deacon Morse resigned his office, it is supposed, in 
 1795, and Francis Appleton was chosen in his place in September 
 of that year. Undoubtedly the resignation of Deacon Morse 
 was accepted, and the election of Deacon Appleton effected, on 
 the communion day in September of that year, which would 
 have been on September 6, 1795. Deacon Morse died, July 18, 
 1814, aged ninety-two. Deacon Learned died, September 5, 
 1818, aged seventy-seven. Stephen Jewett Woods was chosen 
 deacon, June 4, 1818. He came with his family from Sterling, 
 Mass. He was dismissed, with others, from the First Congre- 
 gational Church, September 30, 1827, for the purpose of becom- 
 ing members of the Trinitarian Congregational Church to be 
 formed in Dublin. He was chosen a deacon in that church, and 
 continued to hold the office until his removal to Dunstable, 
 Mass. 
 
 Deacon Appleton resigned his office, November 6, 1831, and 
 the following is an extract from the church records of that 
 date : — 
 
 "At a meeting of the church after divine service. Deacon Francis 
 Appleton tendered his resignation, upon which the following resolu- 
 tions, offered by J. K. Smith, passed unanimously: 'Resolved, That, 
 in consideration of the long and faithful services rendered this church 
 by Francis Appleton in the office of deacon, his request to tender his 
 resignation be accepted; and that, while we express to him our regret 
 for his determination, we also express our gratitude and thankful- 
 ness for the fidelity with which he has discharged the duties pertaining 
 to his ofiice.'" 
 
 Cyrus Chamberlain and Ebenezer Perry were chosen deacons, 
 April 27, 1832. Mr. Chamberlain, with his family, removed to 
 Pembroke, N. Y., in 1835. He does not appear, upon the rec- 
 ords, to have presented a formal resignation of his office, but, 
 
272 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 on July 1, 1836, Jonathan K. Smith was chosen in his place, 
 who accepted the office two months later. 
 
 Deacon Perry, in 1846, removed to Peterborough, but con- 
 tinued to hold his office until 1850, when the following letter, 
 tendering his resignation, was received : — 
 
 "Peterborough, Nov. 25, 1850. 
 
 "To the First Congregational Church in Dublin, 
 under the pastoral care of Dr. Leonard. 
 
 "Brethren and Sisters, — It is now more than four years since 
 I removed from the town. Though located on the borders, circum- 
 stances rather than my wishes have made it inconvenient for me 
 'faithfully to attend and conscientiously to support' with you the 
 institutions of religion. I have long indulged the hope that some way 
 of Providence would carry me back, — that the ' cloud by day or 
 pillar of fire by night' would indicate a resting place where I might 
 spend my days in the place of my nativity, surrounded by time- 
 hallowed associations of early years and Christian fellowship, and lay 
 my bones at last with those of my fathers and kindred. But the future 
 prospect is, as yet, undefined. Under these circumstances, it seems 
 improper that I should longer retain an office, the duties of which 
 have been so imperfectly performed. Justice to our pastor, to my 
 colleague in office, to you, as well as to myself, clearly indicate the 
 propriety of my resignation. 
 
 "With many thanks for your forbearance and Christian courtesy, 
 I therefore request you to appoint some worthy brother to fill the 
 place which, for some time past, I have merely occupied. 
 
 "In resigning ofiice in the church, I would, with your permission, 
 retain a membership till duty shall point to a different connection. 
 
 "With ardent prayers for your prosperity and edification, I re- 
 main, brethren and sisters, yours in bonds of Christian fellowship) 
 and love. 
 
 Ebenezer Perry." 
 
 Jesse Ripley Appleton was chosen deacon, April 30, 1852. 
 On Nov. 6, 1869, Jonathan K. Smith resigned the office of 
 deacon, in the following letter to the church : — 
 
 "To the Members of the First Congregational Church in Dublin, 
 under the pastoral care of the Rev. George M. Rice. 
 
 " Brethren and Sisters, — For a third of a century I have ex- 
 perienced your kindness, forbearance, and Christian courtesy, in my 
 official relations to this church. 
 
 "Grateful for the many tokens of your regard, and conscious of 
 many errors and imperfections, — of coming far short of the Christian 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 273 
 
 ideal, I would still bespeak on your part the exercise of that charity 
 which 'thinketh no evil.' 
 
 "Assuming the office in the meridian of life, the lapse of so many 
 years has brought me to the lengthened shadows of its decline; and 
 I am admonished to seek, in the quietude and serenity of age, a 
 fitting close to an active and busy life. 
 
 "I, therefore, respectfully tender my resignation of the office I 
 have so long held, and request you, at your earliest convenience, to 
 designate some one of your number as my successor. 
 
 "With fervent prayers for the prosperity of our church and the 
 edification of its members, I remain, brethren and sisters, yours in the 
 bonds of Christian fellowship and fraternal love, 
 
 JoNA. K. Smith." 
 
 "Dublin, Nov. 6, 1869." 
 
 On the same date (Nov. 6, 1869), the church voted that the 
 pastor reply to the communication of Deacon Smith. It is 
 fitting that this reply should be given here, in connection with 
 this notice of the latter 's resignation. The following is the 
 pastor's reply : — 
 
 "Dublin, Nov. 13, 1869. 
 
 " My dear Sir, — By a vote of the church, last Sunday afternoon, 
 passed on motion of Dea. Appleton, I was requested to reply to your 
 letter read to the church at that time, resigning the office of deacon, 
 which you have so long held, and to express to you, on behalf of the 
 members of the church, their high appreciation of your faithful serv- 
 ices in this capacity, and their best wishes for your future health, and 
 prosperity, and happiness. 
 
 "In communicating to you this vote, I cannot refrain from adding 
 the assurance of my own grateful sense of your services to the church 
 since it has been my happiness to be its pastor, of my regret that I am 
 no more to see you, on communion days, discharging your accustomed 
 duty, and of my sincere personal respect and attachment. 
 
 "I trust, my dear Sir, that we shall have your presence with us, and 
 the benefit of your counsel for years to come. Our Father spare you 
 to us, so long as the continuance of your life here is a comfort to 
 yourself and a blessing to others, to instruct us by your wisdom, and 
 stimulate us by your Christian example! and, when the last of earth 
 comes to you, may it find you ready for an exchange of worlds, pre- 
 pared to enter into the joy of the Lord. 
 
 Yours in Christian love, 
 
 George M. Rice." 
 
 James Allison was unanimously elected deacon of the church 
 on May 1, 1870, by a rising vote. " Brother Allison," according 
 
274 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 to the records," was welcomed by Deacon Smith, and conducted 
 to his proper seat. The pastor expressed his satisfaction, 
 mingled with regrets at the retirement of Deacon Smith." 
 
 Deacon Jesse R. Appleton, beginning to feel the infirmities 
 of age, resigned the office of deacon on the thirteenth of March, 
 1890, in the following letter to the church: — 
 
 "To the Church of the First Congregational Society, Dublin, N. H. 
 
 "Having, by reason of age and infirmities, become disqualified for 
 the office of deacon, I wish, at this time, to tender my resignation. 
 
 Jesse R. Appleton." 
 
 " DuBUN, March 13, 1890." 
 
 The records continue : — 
 
 "On motion, it was voted to accept Deacon Appleton's resignation. 
 In a few remarks, the pastor thanked Brother Appleton for his long 
 and faithful services, and hoped he would long live to enjoy the honors 
 he had earned. Though no longer in the active duties of the office, 
 he included the sentiment of all when he prayed that he might long 
 remain Deacon Emeritus." 
 
 Wilfred M. Fiske was elected deacon. May 5, 1900, and, on 
 that day, was inducted into office, in the usual manner. 
 
 Deacon James AlKson died, after a brief illness, March 31, 
 1914, at the age of eighty-four years and eighteen days. He 
 was a typical gentleman of the olden school, well educated and 
 well informed, interested in education, in the schools, and all 
 moral reforms, as well as in the welfare of the church so dear 
 to his heart. He commanded the universal respect of all the 
 inhabitants of the town, and especially of the members of the 
 church, of which he had been a deacon for forty-four years. 
 He had served the church longer in that capacity than any 
 other person, except Deacon Benjamin Learned, who, at his 
 death, had held the office forty-six years. Mr. Allison was a 
 direct descendant of both Deacon Eli Morse and Deacon Ben- 
 jamin Learned, the earliest two deacons of the church, and, as 
 he passed the plates and cups of the ancient communion service, 
 presented in 1774, and which had been so many times carried 
 in the hands of his two ancestors, he seemed like a veritable 
 link in the chain which united the church of today with that 
 of the founders. 
 
 As we go to press, with this history, no one has been chosen to 
 fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Deacon Allison.

 The communion service was observed by the First Church, 
 from the beginning, or at least from an early period, only four 
 times in a year, on the first Sundays in May, July, September, 
 and November. Without a stove to warm the meetinghouse, 
 sitting in the church, after the morning exercises, was too un- 
 comfortable for profitable attention to such a service. After 
 the year 1842, however, the house being warmed, the rite of the 
 Lord's Supper was observed six times in a year, on the first Sun- 
 day of every second month, beginning with January. In accord- 
 ance with ancient custom, a preparatory lecture was given in 
 the afternoon of the Friday before the communion was ad- 
 ministered. This custom was discontinued after the December 
 lecture in 1855. On Feb. 2, 1867, the church voted to hold the 
 communion service in the place of the afternoon service. For- 
 merly it had been observed in the intermission between the 
 morning and the afternoon exercises. On Nov. 6, 1870, the 
 church voted to have the communion service, in future, imme- 
 diately after the morning service. On Oct. 15, 1886, the church 
 voted to celebrate the rite of the Lord's Supper in connection 
 with the usual morning service, the congregation being re- 
 quested to remain to witness the service, those accustomed to 
 participate, or who expressly desired, in that manner, to testify 
 to their loyalty to the great truths of Christianity, being in- 
 vited to partake of the emblems as they were passed. This cus- 
 tom has continued to the present time. During the pastorate 
 of Dr. Seward, the service has been observed at Christmas, 
 Easter, and on the first Sunday in September. During the pas- 
 torate of Mr. Catlin, at the desire of the minister, what is known 
 as the symbolic communion service was tried for a time. The 
 
276 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 bread and wine were present, but were not passed to the com- 
 municants. This method of observing the rite did not give 
 general satisfaction. Mr. Cathn desired a vote upon the sub- 
 ject, both of the church and of the congregation. Each gave a 
 vote in favor of the new method, but there can be no doubt 
 that a majority of the affirmative votes, in both cases, were cast 
 in deference to the supposed wishes of the pastor. This seems 
 to be indicated by the fact that, in the next pastorate, on Oct. 
 15, 1886, the church voted to return to the old method, which 
 has ever since been followed. 
 
 In the second year after the organization of the church, the 
 church in Sherborn, Mass., together with a lady who was an 
 honored member of that church, as a token of their regard for 
 the Dublin brethren, nearly all of whom had emigrated from 
 Sherborn, presented the church in Dublin with a beautiful 
 communion service of exquisite English pewter, which is still in 
 an excellent state of preservation, and is generally used once 
 in each year, as an affectionate reminder of the worthy founders 
 of the church, and as a token of respect to the donors of the 
 service. There is an inscription upon each flagon. The two in- 
 scriptions are here given : —

 The inscriptions have no punctuation, and "Sherburn" is 
 spelled in the ancient form, instead of the more modern Sher- 
 born. Sherborn records show that 29 families or married couples 
 emigrated from that town to become early settlers in Dublin, 
 N. H. That accounted for the deep interest of the donors of the 
 communion service in the Dublin church. 
 
 A new and beautiful silver communion service was presented 
 to the church by Solomon Piper, Esq., of Boston, which 
 was first used, Sept. 4, 1859. On that day, at a meeting 
 of the church, on motion of Deacon Jonathan K. Smith, it 
 was: — 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 277 
 
 "Resolved: That, as a token of his continued regard for the welfare 
 of this church and society, we highly appreciate, and gratefully receive 
 from Solomon Piper, Esq., of Boston, the beautiful set of communion 
 plate, now first consecrated to its appropriate service." 
 
 Ministerial exchanges, at the time of the separation of the 
 two branches of the Congregational body, were matters of 
 serious consideration. The feeling of that portion of the orig- 
 inal denomination who were Trinitarian Congregationalists 
 towards whose who affiliated with the other wing, known as 
 Unitarian Congregationalists, was quite bitter in the early part 
 of the last century. At the time Mr. Leonard was ordained, 
 and especially in subsequent years, the subject of ministerial 
 exchanges excited much interest. Mr. Leonard had always ex- 
 pressed his readiness to exchange pulpit services with ministers 
 of all denominations, claiming the right of deciding for himself 
 upon the propriety or expediency of an exchange. The First 
 Congregational Society, at their annual meeting, March 20, 
 1827, after voting to the Second Congregational Society their 
 proportion of Sundays, "to the full extent, according to num- 
 bers," "Voted that the members of the First Congregational 
 Society are willing that the Rev. Mr. Leonard should exchange 
 services with all regularly ordained clergymen in good stand- 
 ing, without reference to particular tenets, sects, or denomina- 
 tions, as his judgment and discretion may dictate." This vote 
 was renewed twice in after years, first in 1830, and again in 
 1839. 
 
 An amusing circumstance connected with one of the early 
 ministerial exchanges of Rev. Mr. Leonard has been com- 
 municated to the writer by an eye-witness. Mr. Leonard (he 
 had not then received the title of D.D.) exchanged with the 
 minister of an Orthodox Congregational church in the county. 
 One of the parishioners, a man of intelligence, who inclined 
 to Unitarian views, was greatly pleased with the sermon. 
 Knowing that the members of the congregation were not aware 
 that Mr. Leonard had cast his lot with the Unitarian wing of 
 the Congregationalists, he thought that he saw a good oppor- 
 tunity to ascertain how much imagination and prejudice had 
 to do in forming a judgment with respect to the value of 
 preaching. As he was passing down the aisle, at the conclusion 
 of the morning service, he asked one and another about the 
 sermon. One man said: "I never heard so good a sermon in my 
 life." Another said: "If we could have such preaching every 
 
278 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Sunday, I should never be absent from church." Still another 
 asked: "Would it be possible to secure so good a preacher after 
 our minister, who is soon to leave us, takes his departure?" 
 All opinions were highly favorable. There seemed to be a unan- 
 imity of opinion that it was the best preaching ever heard in 
 town; which was quite likely true. Then this man, wishing to 
 witness the effect that it might produce, informed the people 
 that Mr. Leonard was a Unitarian. The result was much as 
 was anticipated. One after another said: "If that be so, it will 
 never do to hear him again." They went hurriedly to the 
 sheds, backed out the old boat-wagons, took them to the door, 
 seated their women, and went rattling over the hills, towards 
 home. The afternoon audience was very small. There is a say- 
 ing that "all's in a name." It was certain that these good- 
 meaning persons had not heard anything that shocked their 
 sense of propriety or good morals or good religion, but their 
 imperfect comprehension of the Unitarian movement, and the 
 terror that the name inspired, drove them home. 
 
 It soon came to pass that there were practically no exchanges 
 between Trinitarian and Unitarian clergymen. It took many 
 years to remove the prejudice. At the present time, such ex- 
 changes are quite frequent, and would be much more frequently 
 made, if it were not for the manifold duties which bind a clergy- 
 man to the denomination to which he nominally belongs. It is 
 now quite rare that pulpit courtesies are declined for a purely 
 doctrinal reason. This is more or less true of all denominations, 
 excepting certain ritualistic churches which forbid such ex- 
 changes, but especially true of the so-called Trinitarian and 
 Unitarian branches of the great Congregational body. 
 
 The Sunday-school must be considered here, in connection 
 with other events which either originated or were developed and 
 matured under the ministry of Dr. Leonard. The suggestion 
 to establish a Sunday-school for children and youth in the 
 First Congregational Society was first made to the pastor by 
 Moses Adams, Jr. (really the third of that name in a lineal suc- 
 cession in Dublin), in the spring of 1823. He had retained a con- 
 nection with the said school, as one of the superintendents or 
 teachers, every year after its establishment until Dr. Leonard 
 wrote the former History of Dublin, and for many years there- 
 after. After he was stricken with the illness which terminated 
 fatally, at the annual meeting of the Sunday-school, on Nov. 
 2, 1873, on motion of Deacon Jonathan K. Smith, it was 
 unanimously : — 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 279 
 
 "Resolved: That gratefully recognizing the former long-continued 
 and faithful services of Capt. Moses Adams, as teacher and superin- 
 tendent of this school, the present superintendents, teachers, and 
 pupils desire to express to him their sense of the value of his efforts to 
 promote the usefulness of the school, and to sympathize with him in 
 his present suffering condition, trusting that the promises of the 
 gospel may light up the dark places in his earthly journey, and give 
 him a glimpse of the joys of the Heavenly state. 
 
 "Voted that the pastor (Rev. Mr. Rice) be requested to present 
 a copy of the above to Capt. Adams." 
 
 At the first organization of the school, the school committee 
 of the town were constituted superintendents. This arrange- 
 ment was continued, in part, till 1839, when the society, at 
 their annual meeting, "voted that the standing committee 
 nominate the superintendents of the Sabbath-school. Nom- 
 inated and chose Rev. Levi W. Leonard, Thomas Fisk, Thad- 
 deus Morse, Jr., Moses Adams, Jr." Besides the persons above 
 named, there were associated with Dr. Leonard, as superintend- 
 ents of the school, Jonathan K. Smith, Ebenezer Perry, and 
 Ransom N. Porter. In 1839, the school was reorganized, and a 
 new classification adopted. The number of pupils increased, 
 and a deeper interest was felt by parents and guardians. In 
 the early period of the school, the number of female pupils ex- 
 ceeded the number of male pupils; but, as the older pupils 
 began to remain in the school after the age in which it had been 
 customary for them to leave, the number of male pupils became 
 at length larger than that of the female pupils. In 1852, the 
 female pupils were most numerous. The case, at the present 
 time, 1916, is reversed, and the male pupils are twice as many 
 as the female pupils. The loss of the old families of the town, 
 by death and removal, has been so serious and so long con- 
 tinued that the number of pupils in the school is much smaller 
 than was formerly the case. Of the children, however, of the 
 usual Sunday-school age, to be found in the families who still 
 remain in the parish, all, or very nearly all, are very regular 
 attendants upon the exercises of the school. 
 
 For many years, to the time of the writing of the former 
 history, and much later, books of a suitable character were 
 given to all pupils at the close of each official Sunday-school 
 year. To aid in this project, Solomon Piper, Esq., of Boston, 
 for a long time liberally contributed. For the sixteen years 
 preceding his death, he gave to the school annually ten dollars 
 "for the purchase of books for faithful scholars." On June 1, 
 
280 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 1873, during the pastorate of Mr. Rice, at a session of the Sun- 
 day-school, it was "Voted to procure a photograph of the late 
 Solomon Piper, Esq., of Boston, to be hung in the vestry, in 
 grateful remembrance of his former interest in the school and 
 benefactions to it." Col. J. K. Smith, Rev. Mr. Rice, and Mr. 
 Joseph Morse were ap7)ointed a committee for the purpose. 
 
 Moses Adams, Jr., J. K. Smith, and L. W. Leonard, D.D., 
 were constituted life members of the Boston Sunday School 
 Society, later called the National Sunday School Society, and 
 now known as the Unitarian Sunday School Society; the first 
 by a friend of the Sunday-school, the last two by the pupils 
 of this school. 
 
 The custom of giving books, papers, and pictures to the pu- 
 pils of the school still continues. For several years, the pastor 
 has expressed his Christmas greetings to each pupil in the form 
 of some book or booklet, whose contents come within the 
 scope of the appreciation of the one receiving it. Papers of a 
 religious and spiritual character are given to the pupils each 
 Sunday, and to the younger pupils are given beautiful pictures, 
 copies of rare masterpieces, which illustrate the Bible lessons 
 which they study. Elegant pins are also given, which are ex- 
 changed from time to time for still better ones, expressive of 
 fidelity in the work and regularity and punctuality, as well as 
 length, of attendance. 
 
 The fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the Sunday- 
 school was celebrated, Oct. 27, 1872. An address was delivered 
 by Deacon Jonathan K. Smith, followed by briefer addresses 
 by Capt. Moses Adams, Mr. Dexter Derby, Mr. Daniel 
 FiSKE, Mr. James G. Piper, and Deacon James Allison. An 
 original hymn was sung, composed for the occasion by Miss 
 Emogene L. Evleth, now Mrs. Taylor of Peterborough. The 
 society voted to print Deacon Smith's address. 
 
 The close of Dr. Leonard's ministry was pathetic. We 
 have deferred an account of it until the events reviewed in the 
 preceding pages had been narrated; because they pertained 
 pincipally to his own ministry, and because the narrative is 
 largely from his own pen, as found in the former History of 
 Dublin. In the fifties, his health began to decline visibly. His 
 second wife was an Exeter lady, and devotedly attached to that 
 place. Not long after his second marriage. Dr. Leonard took 
 up his residence in Exeter, continuing to supply the pulpit, 
 sometimes in person, sometimes through supplies whom he 
 sent. Eventually, he asked for a colleague pastor, and he be- 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 281 
 
 came the pastor emeritus, as we shall see in the account of the 
 next pastor. 
 
 The close of the active pastorate of Dr. Leonard was marked 
 by a notable gathering in the church, May 25, 1854. He was 
 presented with an elegant service of plate, and appropriate ad- 
 dresses were delivered. An account of those exercises, and an 
 abstract of the addresses afford such an excellent summary of 
 the great work of this remarkable man, so revered in Dublin, 
 that we shall reproduce certain portions of a clipping from some 
 newspaper of that period, which we find in the church records : — 
 
 "The friends of Rev. Levi W. Leonard, D.D., of Dubhn, N. H., 
 having taken measures to procure a service of plate, as a token of grat- 
 itude for his efforts to promote the welfare of the young, presented it 
 to him on Thursday, May 25, 1854. A numerous collection of people 
 of all ages, from the child to the old man of almost fourscore and ten, 
 witnessed the presentation, and evinced the interest and gratification 
 which they felt in this act of love and gratitude towards their venerated 
 pastor. The presentation was followed by a collation and social gath- 
 ering in the vestry of the church. The plate consisted of an elegant 
 and massive silver salver, pitcher and two goblets, with the following 
 inscription on the salver and pitcher : — 
 
 "To Rev. Levi W . Leonard, D. D., 
 
 Dublin, N. H. 
 
 A memento of affectionate regard 
 
 for his devotion to the welfare of the young. 
 
 From present and former 
 
 Members of his Parish. 
 
 May, A. D., 1854. 
 
 "The goblets were simply inscribed: — 
 
 "From the Lambs of his Flock. 
 
 "After music by the choir, and prayer by Rev. S. F. Clark of 
 Athol, Mass., whose youth was passed in Dublin, Thomas Fisk, Esq., 
 chairman of the committee, addressed him as follows: — 
 
 "'Rev. Dr. Leonard, your parishioners and other friends here as- 
 sembled are happy to meet you on the present occasion. It affords an 
 opportunity they gladly embrace to acknowledge some of the many 
 favors you have conferred on them, and to tender to you that heart- 
 felt gratitude which your faithful and efficient labors here, for more 
 than one-third of a century, are so eminently calculated to produce. 
 During this long period, your clerical duties have been discharged, 
 not only with fidelity and to the edification of the people of your 
 charge, but the precepts inculcated have been rendered more effi- 
 cacious by corresponding example. To the beneficial influence of such 
 
282 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 precepts and such examples, as we have been constantly receiving at 
 your hands, we cannot doubt that eternity will attest. 
 
 '"The young have ever been the special objects of your care and 
 solicitude. Their moral and religious instruction early enlisted your 
 attention. Under your auspices, the Sabbath-school connected with 
 this society, which has been in successful operation for thirty-one 
 years, was organized. And it is to your constant and unremitting 
 efforts to promote its prosperity and usefulness, more than to those 
 of any other individual, — and might we not add than to all others, 
 — that the success of the school and the high rank it holds among 
 similar institutions are to be attributed. And, while we speak of the 
 obligation imposed on us by your zeal and fidelity, in this good work, 
 we would not forget your liberality in a pecuniary point of view. Nearly 
 all the text-books used in the school, as well as those presented to the 
 pupils at the close of each term, have been furnished at your expense. 
 But your efforts have not been confined to the moral and religious 
 improvement of the young. Their intellectual improvement also has 
 received a liberal share of your time and attention. Compare our 
 present public schools with those here thirty-four years ago. From 
 the lowest grade, they have gradually risen until they occupy a posi- 
 tion which is universally admitted to compare favorably with that 
 of any other schools in the county, not to say state. 
 
 Whence this improvement.'' I scarcely need say that it is attrib- 
 uted, by universal consent, and justly, more to your wise, judicious, 
 and persevering efforts than to any other one cause, or than to all 
 others combined. Nor has your influence in promoting common 
 school education been confined to this town, but it has been felt and 
 acknowledged throughout the state. Our " Juvenile Library," too, that 
 fountain to which our children and youth have eagerly resorted for 
 pleasure and information, owes its very existence to your munificence. 
 
 " ' It was commenced by a contribution from you of several hundred 
 volumes, and, since its commencement, you have selected and pur- 
 chased all the books, kept them in repair, and acted as librarian, which 
 must have occupied no small portion of your time and attention. 
 
 " ' I have briefly alluded to but a few of your many acts of munifi- 
 cence and kindness, for which we feel a deep and abiding sense of our 
 obligation to you. 
 
 "'We would not, however, rely upon words alone to express our 
 feelings and sentiments, but would present you some tangible me- 
 morial as evidence that your many favors are appreciated. Please, 
 therefore, to accept from the present and former members of the Sab- 
 bath-school, and other friends, this Plate, as a token of gratitude for 
 your long-continued and eflBcient efforts to promote the intellectual, 
 moral, and religious improvement of the children and youth of your 
 charge.' 
 
 "Rev. Dr. Leonard seemed almost overcome with emotion. In 
 reply, he said that his parishioners needed no assurance from him 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 283 
 
 that this beautiful present, accompanied with such feeHngs as had 
 actuated the donors, was most gratifying to him. The chairman had 
 spoken of his services to the young in flattering terms. It was true 
 that he had devoted his attention to the youth under his charge to 
 rather an unusual degree, but the circumstances by which he was sur- 
 rounded seemed to call for it. The town had just come into possession 
 of a large fund, for the benefit of common schools, bequeathed by his 
 immediate predecessor. Previous to this he had not thought of turning 
 his labors into this channel, but he perceived at once that the fund 
 would do the schools no good unless it was properly managed and the 
 avails wisely appropriated. He, therefore, took hold of the matter 
 in earnest. But he had then no definite or matured plan of operations 
 for the improvement of the schools; indeed, he never had any very 
 comprehensive plan; the circumstances, at the time, indicated the 
 proper measures, and thus his plans were developed gradually. 
 
 "But he was far from attributing the success that had attended his 
 efforts to his plans or labors alone. He was not disposed to disparage 
 himself or his efforts, but he had been associated with others who had 
 almost uniformly seconded his recommendations, and labored effi- 
 ciently to carry out his plans. And they had made suggestions and 
 proposed plans and measures that had materially aided him in ele- 
 vating the schools. To all his colleagues, some of the credit, and to 
 some of them much of it, justly belongs. And the people of the town 
 had justly been ready to adopt any improvement that was proposed. 
 Without their ready cooperation he would have fallen far short of 
 what had now been accomplished. There had always been a good un- 
 derstanding between him and his parishioners, and, indeed, the whole 
 town, in regard to his educational labors. He had labored, it was true, 
 and sometimes he had labored hard, but with the good will of the people 
 and their prompt and active cooperation, he had labored pleasantly 
 and happily, and, through God's blessing, not without effect. 
 
 "And in regard to the Sabbath-school, the original suggestion of it 
 came from an individual whom he could name, A meeting was called 
 to consider the subject, which so few attended as to make it almost 
 a failure; but it was decided to give notice that the school would com- 
 mence on a certain day. This was considered rather hazardous at the 
 time, and much discussion ensued as to the propriety of the measure, 
 but, at the time appointed, over a hundred pupils presented them- 
 selves for admission to the school. Thus commenced, it had been 
 continued every year since and, under the several superintendents, 
 had prospered and, he trusted, done much good. 
 
 "The 'Juvenile Library' was commenced on a small scale, with 
 the hope of exciting a love of reading among the children and youth 
 of the town. He was sure it had had a good effect, in various ways, 
 upon those who had availed themselves of its privileges. 
 
 "Since the writing of compositions had become common in our 
 schools, he had frequently found ideas expressed, of the source of which 
 
284 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the writers were perhaps unconscious, but he knew, he said, that they 
 must have come from these books, for he had read nearly all of them. 
 
 "As he intimated before, his connection with the people here had 
 been a happy one, and it had been attended with a good degree of suc- 
 cess. Over a hundred admissions to the church had been made during 
 his ministry, and the church had never been involved in diflBculties 
 between its members. Of all the members of the church, when he came 
 to Dublin, but three or four then survived, and not one of these then 
 attended the church services. Thus one generation passes, and another 
 succeeds. 
 
 "Again he expressed his gratitude to those who had honored him 
 with this beautiful and valuable present, and invoked the blessing of 
 heaven upon the beloved people of his charge. 
 
 "An original hymn was then sung. 
 
 "Deacon Jonathan K. Smith was next called to the floor, and 
 responded as follows : — 
 
 The testimonial, which is the occasion of this meeting, is intended 
 as a token of regard for service rendered to the young. The "Lambs 
 of the Flock" have been specially cared for, and this is merely to show 
 that such services are not unappreciated by the recipients. It is no 
 'payment for those services, and would not be were it of gold. It is 
 merely the offering of grateful hearts for unnumbered benefits be- 
 stowed. It comes gushing from the warm fount of youthful impulse, 
 and it comes, also, from the cool, calculating, man of business. The 
 rich man's abundance, the child's spending money, and the widow's 
 mite, are all here represented, all flowing in one channel, and blessing 
 those who give as well as him who receives. And why, let me ask, is 
 this spontaneous, united, and generous movement, in behalf of our 
 beloved pastor? It is because the services which called it forth have 
 been arduous and long continued; have been unusual and unremitted. 
 They have been most faithfully and conscientiously performed, and 
 their effect upon those who have experienced them no human arith- 
 metic can calculate. For a third of a century has this work of elevating 
 the young been going on, quietly, but most efficiently. 
 
 There has been no standing at the corners of the streets to attract 
 the notice of others, no sounding of trumpets to herald the approach, 
 no running after fame, nor catering for popularity, but humbly and 
 gradually has this great work been performed. Step by step has this 
 long way been traversed, thread by thread has the web of duty been 
 woven, until we who are old enough to review the whole period wonder 
 at the progress made, and our worthy pastor will no doubt "blush to 
 find it fame." 
 
 " ' This movement had its origin in the Sabbath-school. Its successive 
 sets of pupils have here united to honor the man to whom they owe 
 so much. And where can an instance be found of a Sabbath-school 
 which, for so long a period, has been uniformly so prosperous? Where, 
 in a town of this size, has so numerous and orderly a school assembled 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 285 
 
 from year to year to gladden the hearts of their parents, to strengthen 
 the hands of the pastor, and furnish candidates for the church? From 
 what school has a better array of pupils gone forth armed more com- 
 pletely against the trials and temptations of after life? And where 
 can you find a school of the size of this that can exhibit fewer instances 
 of pupils yielding to the power of temptation and falling into sinful 
 courses? And where shall we look for the cause of this uniform suc- 
 cess, but to him whom we have met to honor. His unwearied efforts 
 to make the school attractive and interesting, as well as profitable 
 and improving, have had the effect to retain the pupils in the school 
 to a much greater age than is usual elsewhere. At the time of life 
 when youth is most exposed to evil influences, in most schools the 
 pupils are leaving the Sabbath-school, thus cutting loose from the 
 restraints which bind them to a life of virtue and piety. But here 
 they have usually been retained in the school till their principles and 
 habits have become fixed, and hence there has been far less danger of 
 their yielding to the allurements of vice. The wise counsels and gentle 
 reproofs and earnest exhortations, which have been freely given, from 
 Sabbath to Sabbath, have no doubt sunk deep into many hearts and 
 taken root there and brought forth, in after life, a plenteous harvest of 
 the fruits of righteousness. 
 
 "'Our common schools, too, are here represented; and have not 
 they cause for rejoicing that our Oberlin cast his lot among us? Since 
 my remembrance they ranked, and I believe justly, below the schools 
 of other towns in the vicinity. They were not so forward nor so orderly 
 as others. I have nothing to say of their present standing. Here they 
 are, look at them, visit them, judge them. They are not what they 
 might be, nor what they should be, but, "with all their faults I love 
 them still." The teacher's vocation has gone up fifty per cent since my 
 remembrance, and the schools have risen with them at least in an equal 
 ratio. Does anyone say that their prosperity is to be attributed to 
 our pastor's venerated predecessor? I think it can easily be shown 
 that this is not the case, except so far as furnishing the means is con- 
 cerned. He, it is true, had a strong interest in the welfare of common 
 schools. This is evinced both by his conduct in his lifetime and by his 
 generosity towards them at his decease. But it is no disparagement 
 to him to say that he had not the faculty of originating any compre- 
 hensive plan for their improvement, nor the practical talent for carry- 
 ing it out. And had we received nothing but his money, with no one 
 to take the lead in appropriating it to the best advantage, with no one 
 to excite an interest in the schools beyond what existed in town thirty 
 years ago, it is safe to say that they would have probably remained 
 nearly stationary till the present time, or, at most, have gone no farther 
 in the way of improvement than they would have been carried by the 
 current of public opinion abroad. These then are some of the causes 
 of the present movement to show honor to whom honor is due. 
 
 " ' As one of the superintendents both of the Sabbath-school and of 
 
28C HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the common schools, I could not with propriety say less, and, as others 
 present can speak to so much better purpose, I ivill not say more.' 
 
 "Rev. S. F. Clark of Athol, Mass., being asked by the chair, then 
 addressed the meeting. He said that he was happy to be present on 
 this interesting occasion. He always loved to come to Dublin. His 
 earliest recollections were here. Here were the scenes of his childhood. 
 He loved the mountains and streams and beautiful lake, whose shores 
 were hallowed by sacred associations. He loved the people, the schools, 
 and the church, in which, under the guidance and teaching of our de- 
 voted pastor, whom we have met to honor, he received his early in- 
 tellectual and religious impressions. He was grateful for those influ- 
 ences. The whole town must be grateful for the happy influences of 
 the master mind, w^hich has presided over and directed its educational 
 interests, both intellectual and religious. He then went on to speak of 
 the wise, untiring, but unostentatious efforts of Dr. Leonard for the 
 w^elfare of this town, and the community at large in this vicinity. He 
 had quietly exerted that judicious influence w^hich controlled the edu- 
 cational funds left to the town by his predecessor. It is sometimes 
 said that funds are no benefit to a society or town, and it often is so; 
 but Dr. Leonard so managed the funds of this town that no one would 
 question their beneficial effects. Without his mind to superintend 
 their appropriation, they might have been worse than useless; but 
 his counsel, his efforts, his example, have placed the educational in- 
 stitutions of Dublin in a rank second to the educational institutions 
 of no other town in the state. 
 
 "Mr. Clark had had something to do with the superintendence of 
 common schools and Sunday-schools in other places, out of this state, 
 and in none had he become acquainted with a more practical and effi- 
 cient system of instruction than that which emanated from Dr. 
 Leonard, and which w'as so successful in its results in Dublin. 
 
 "Nor was his influence confined to this town or this county. Dr. 
 Leonard was unpretending, and would never assume any prominence 
 for himself, but the friends of education hereabouts know very well that 
 to no man in New Hampshire is the cause of common school education 
 so much indebted as to him. Nor is his influence confined to this 
 state. The interest he has awakened could be stopped by the bound- 
 aries of no state. His school-books have had a deservedly wide cir- 
 culation. His North American Spelling Book has no superior, as a 
 speller and a primary reading-book, in New England. Dr. Leonard 
 understood young children's minds, and adapted his spelling-book to 
 meet their wants as no other book does. In selecting books for the 
 'Juvenile Library,' he displayed the same superiority of judgment. 
 Mr. Clark said that he had examined many libraries for children and 
 he had never known one so well selected. The books were such as 
 children could understand. They loved to read them. This was the 
 secret of the universal love for reading in Dublin. 
 
 "The Christian Hymns, too, a book then so deservedly popular, 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 287 
 
 owed its superior merits chiefly to Dr. Leonard. He was its originator 
 and chief compiler. Its merits are known in nearly all the churches of 
 the denomination to which Dr. Leonard belonged. 
 
 "Mr. Clark also referred to the private munificence of Dr. Leonard. 
 Many and many an indigent child had been supplied with school- 
 books by his silent benevolence. Students, plodding their weary way 
 under difficulties, had been helped on by his wise counsel and material 
 encouragement. But his work was done so modestly and quietly that 
 we are hardly aware how much we are indebted to him for advantages, 
 which, but for him, never would have been enjoyed. The rains and 
 dews and sunshine of heaven fall upon the earth, which teems with 
 fruits, and we reap bounties, all unmindful of the Great Giver. So it 
 was with the fruits of Dr. Leonard's labors. Benefactors enjoyed 
 them, hardly mindful of the source whence they came. Mr. Clark was 
 glad of such an occasion to express gratitude to one whom to honor 
 is an honor. He was glad to be present and feel the pulse of affection 
 and gratitude beat so freely among the people. No one who duly 
 appreciated his services would willingly be deprived of the privilege 
 of participating in the gift, as a slight memorial of lasting affection 
 and gratitude. 
 
 "Mr. Clark then described his first introduction to Dr. Leonard, 
 in his study, when a child just learning to read. He received kind 
 words, kind attentions, a gift of a little book, and another to read and 
 return — the same also for his brother and sister. He alluded to this 
 incident because his own experience was probably the experience of 
 almost every child of the town. He then paid a heartfelt and merited 
 tribute of regard to the former wife of Dr. Leonard, whose remains 
 rest in our old burial ground on the shore of Monadnock Lake, whose 
 crystal waters are a fit emblem of the Christian purity of her whose 
 memory is sacred to the hearts of this people; and he closed by ex- 
 pressing the desire that this humble gift might be handed down to the 
 last generation of her posterity." 
 
 Dr. Leonard did not often come to Dublin after this festival 
 in his honor. He supplied the pulpit occasionally in person, at 
 other times sending substitute preachers, until the installation 
 of the colleague pastor, on the thirteenth of June, 1855. After 
 this, he very rarely appeared in the pulpit, although he re- 
 mained the pastor emeritus until his death. Not long before 
 his spirit winged its flight, he occupied the desk, to speak the 
 last words to his people. Rev. John C. Learned of Exeter, a 
 native of Dublin, was wdth him, to assist in the service. Al- 
 though very feeble, Dr. Leonard succeeded in finishing the dis- 
 course which he had prepared. It was one of the most solemn 
 and pathetic church services ever held in town. Realizing that 
 their beloved pastor would never occupy the pulpit again, re- 
 
288 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 calling his long life of loving devotion to duty in their commu- 
 nity, the congregation, most of whom had known no other 
 pastor, except his colleague, were stirred with the deepest 
 emotions, as they hung breathless upon every word which fell 
 from the lips of him from whom they were listening publicly 
 for the last time. 
 
 Dr. Leonard died at Exeter, Dec. 12, 1864. There was a 
 funeral service in that town for the benefit of kindred and 
 neighbors. The body of Dr. Leonard was brought to Dublin, 
 where a very impressive funeral service was held in the church, 
 on Jan. 4, 1865. The introductory prayer and the reading of the 
 Scriptures were by Rev. William Orne White of Keene; hymn 
 number 503 of the Cheshire Collection, principally compiled by 
 Dr. Leonard, was sung; the sermon was by Rev. John C. Learned 
 of Exeter, a native of Dublin, and a friend of Dr. Leonard 
 from boyhood; an address was delivered by Rev. George Faber 
 Clark of Stow, Mass., whose youth was passed in Dublin; 
 hymn 509 of the collection mentioned was sung; prayer was 
 offered by the junior pastor, Rev. William F. Bridge; and hymn 
 547, from the book already named, was read by Rev. C. B. Ferry 
 of Peterborough, and sung by the congregation. 
 
 The grave of Dr. Leonard in the Dublin cemetery is marked 
 by a granite obelisk, fourteen feet in height, which, with the 
 accessories and curbing, cost between six and seven hundred 
 dollars, which sum was contributed by former parishioners of 
 Dr. Leonard, many of whom were then not living in Dublin. 
 The monument was consecrated, Nov. 10, 1867, the public 
 services being in the church. Rev. George M. Rice, the pastor, 
 offered prayer. Brief tributes to the memory of Dr. Leonard 
 were offered by Deacon Jonathan K. Smith, and by the pastor, 
 who recalled his acquaintance with Dr. Leonard, and spoke of 
 the high estimate of his character which was held by all of his 
 brethren in the ministry. The monument is of hammered 
 Fitzwilliam granite. Agreeably to his well-known wishes, the 
 inscription was made quite simple, and reads : — 
 
 LEONARD.

 Born, June 1, 1790; 
 
 Harvard College, 1815;

 Dec. 12, 1864.

 On the same monument we also read : — 
 
 ELIZABETH M. SMITH, 
 
 wife of 
 REV. DR. LEONARD, 
 
 Died, 
 
 Sept. 13, 1848, 
 
 Ae. 42 yrs. 
 
 From the time of Dr. Leonard's leaving Dubhn, until the be- 
 ginning of October, 1854, he occupied the desk occasionally, 
 but more frequently sent other preachers. During the winter of 
 1853-54, the desk was occupied by Mr. Samuel Abbot Smith 
 of Peterborough, who was born in that town, April 18, 1829, 
 and graduated at the Harvard Divinity School, in 1853. He 
 was a graduate of Harvard College in 1849, and received the 
 degree of A.M. in 1853. After leaving Dubhn, he was called to 
 West Cambridge (now Arlington), Mass., where he was ordained, 
 June 22, 1854. He continued the pastor of that church nearly 
 eleven years, until his death. May 20, 1865. He was a rare 
 young man, of sound scholarship and marked piety. 
 
 Rev. William Frederick Bridge, the fourth pastor of the 
 church, was born in Lancaster, Mass., Feb. 15, 1821. He grad- 
 uated at Harvard, with the degree of A.B., in 1846; A.M. in 
 1850. He was ordained in the Follen church at East Lexington, 
 Mass., Nov. 7, 1849, where he remained until the close of No- 
 vember, 1853, although supplying at intervals until the first 
 of January in 1855. On Oct. 8, 1854, Mr. Bridge began sup- 
 plying the Dublin pulpit. Near the beginning of 1855, the parish 
 held a meeting to consider the matter of extending a call to 
 him, but he informed the society that he desired to preach three 
 months before considering a call. On April 11, 1855, he received 
 a unanimous call to become the colleague pastor, which he ac- 
 cepted on April 23, following. 
 
 The installation of Mr. Bridge as the colleague pastor oc- 
 curred, June 13, 1855. The churches represented in the council 
 were those of Portsmouth, Rev. A. P. Peabody, D.D.; Wilton, 
 Rev. John N. Bellows; Peterborough, Rev. Charles Robinson; 
 Keene, Rev. William Orne White; Hampton Falls, Rev. Asarelah 
 Morse Bridge; Charlestown, Rev. Jaazaniah Crosby, D.D.; 
 Concord, Rev. Artemas Bowers Muzzey. Rev. Dr. Leonard was 
 present and acted as the moderator of the council, and Rev. Mr. 
 White was the scribe. The sermon was by Dr. Peabody, and the 
 charge to the people by Dr. Leonard. 
 
290 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Early in the pastorate of Mr. Bridge occurred one of the 
 most important events in the history of the church, or even in 
 the history of DubHn. It was the suit brought by the Trinitarian 
 Congregational Society of Dublin to obtain possession of the 
 income of the Sprague fund, which was left for the benefit of 
 the First Congregational Society. In his will, Rev. Edward 
 Sprague made this bequest, upon the condition that the income 
 of the fund should be used towards defraying the salary of the 
 minister of that society, provided he was a regularly ordained 
 minister. 
 
 We read in the church records that, on Jan. 1, 1856, "A 
 copy of a bill of complaint, entered by the Trinitarian Congre- 
 gational Society of Dublin and its pastor, was served upon the 
 pastor of the First Congregational Church and Society, re- 
 quiring him to show himself to be the pastor of a Congrega- 
 tional church, regularly ordained, in order to prove his right 
 to enjoy the income of the Sprague fund." 
 
 The court proceedings to which this suit led have all been 
 printed in full. It would be too tedious to the most of our 
 readers to present here even an abstract of it. It is, however, 
 intensely interesting to the oldest inhabitants of Dublin, as 
 well as to students of ecclesiastical polity. The contest was a 
 long one, and pursued with much bitterness of feehng. It will 
 probably answer the purposes of this history to say that, in the 
 end, it was the decision of the court that a legacy left to a 
 specific society, for a particular purpose, was to be forever en- 
 joyed by the specified society, notwithstanding any changes 
 of covenants, creeds, or individual opinions, which might have 
 been made. The suit was brought on the ground that the doc- 
 trines then held by the First Congregational Church and So- 
 ciety, as organizations, as well as by their pastor, were not like 
 those of Mr. Sprague. It was clearly shown in the court pro- 
 ceedings, and was indeed a well-known fact, that Mr. Sprague 
 represented the philosophy of the Arminian thinkers, and was 
 not at all in sympathy with the ultra Calvinistic doctrines of the 
 Trinitarian Congregationalists. However, that really made no 
 difference, for the court decided that the old First Congrega- 
 tional Society was entitled to the enjoyment of the income of 
 the fund, irrespective of any changes of opinion which had taken 
 place in the society or the church or among the individual 
 members. 
 
 This case, known far and wide in ecclesiastical circles as the 
 "Dublin case," was a test case for the decision of similar con- 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 291 
 
 troversies. A large number of the old Congregational churches 
 espoused the Unitarian cause, and the greater portion of the 
 earlier churches of that denomination had been units of the 
 old New England Congregational body. Contests over the 
 possession of funds, as well as of communion plate, were not 
 infrequent. 
 
 Mr. Bridge asked for dismission in 1865, which was granted, 
 in the usual courteous manner. He delivered his farewell 
 sermon, Oct. 29, 1865, and administered the communion. In 
 the records, the last words from his pen are: "God's benediction 
 rest on church and society alike." 
 
 After leaving Dublin, Mr. Bridge was settled in Peterboro, 
 N. Y., as a teacher and pastor, Dec. 3, 1865, to June, 1871. He 
 was a teacher at Little Falls, N. Y., from August, 1871, to De- 
 cember, 1875. He then went to Antioch College, Ohio, as prin- 
 cipal of the preparatory department, 1875-1877; and as pro- 
 fessor of moral philosophy, 1877-1878. He died at Foster, 
 Ohio, Feb. 20, 1892. 
 
 Rev. George Matthias Rice, fifth pastor of the church, was 
 born in Danvers, Mass., June 28, 1814; graduated at Hobart 
 College, N. Y., as A.B., in 1832; and was a graduate of the 
 Divinity School of Harvard University in 1835. He was or- 
 dained at Watertown, Mass., Nov. 11, 1840, as the pastor of 
 the church in Lexington, Mass., of which he was the pastor 
 from that date until April 30, 1841. Subsequent pastorates 
 were in Chelsea, Mass., Sept. 18, 1844, to 1845; Mendon, Mass., 
 April 20, 1845, to July, 1846; Eastport, Me., May 7, 1848, to 
 June 29, 1851; Lancaster, N. H., Jan. 15, 1854, to Nov. 1, 
 1857; and Westford, Mass., June 1, 1858, to April 1, 1866. 
 
 Of the beginning of his ministry in Dublin he writes in the 
 records: "After Mr. Bridge left, the pulpit was supplied by sev- 
 eral candidates, to one of whom a call was extended; the vote to 
 do which being afterwards reconsidered and annulled. I com- 
 menced preaching here [in Dubhn], Feb. 11, 1866, being the 
 pastor of the First Congregational Society in Westford, Mass. 
 On March 15, 1866, I received a call to settle over the society 
 [in Dublin], as its pastor, on a salary of $800, after supplying as 
 a candidate three Sundays. I accepted the same on March 26, 
 to begin my labors on the first Sunday in May." 
 
 Mr. Rice was installed. May 16, 1866. The churches repre- 
 sented in the council were: West Church in Boston, Rev. Cyrus 
 A. Bartol, D.D.; Westford, Mass., without a pastor, but repre- 
 sented by the venerable Rev. Ephraim Abbot; Groton, Mass., 
 
292 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Rev. Crawford Nightingale; Pepperell, Mass., Rev. Charles 
 Babbidge (who afterwards had the title of D.D.); Keene, Rev. 
 William Orne White; Walpole, Rev. Nathaniel Seaver; Peterbor- 
 ough, Rev. Charles B. Ferry; and Wilton, Rev. W. B. Buxton. 
 Rev. Mr. Babbidge was chosen moderator, and Rev. Mr. Seaver, 
 scribe. Dr. Bartol delivered the sermon; Rev. Ephraim Abbot, 
 in his eighty-seventh year, offered the installing prayer; Rev. 
 Mr. Babbidge gave the charge to the pastor; Rev. Mr. Nightin- 
 gale gave the right hand of fellowship; and Rev. Mr. White 
 addressed the people. Mr. Seaver offered the introductory 
 prayer, Mr. Ferry read the Scriptures, and Mr. Buxton offered 
 the concluding prayer. 
 
 The first recorded union service of the First Congregational 
 (Unitarian) and Trinitarian Congregational Societies of Dublin 
 was held on the occasion of the annual fast, April 4, 1867. 
 Rev. Andrew J. Fosdick of the Trinitarian Congregational 
 Church preached the sermon. Since that date, such union serv- 
 ices have not been infrequent, and, of late years, are practically 
 an annual custom upon the Sunday preceding the Thanksgiving 
 Thursday. 
 
 Aug. 4, 1867, is the date of the first musical service, specifi- 
 cally called a vesper service, of which we find any notice upon 
 the records. Such services have not been frequent, because the 
 parishioners live at such distances from the meetinghouse that 
 it is not convenient to make the journey twice upon the same 
 Sunday. 
 
 April 20, 1868, an abbreviated form of the church covenant 
 in use was laid before the church at a special meeting, and was 
 "acquiesced in by the members present." 
 
 About this time, many persons, each season, were coming to 
 Dublin for the summer. Among them were many clergymen of 
 the Unitarian denomination. The records of Mr. Rice contain 
 many instances of labors of love performed by these visiting 
 brethren. The custom has been continued until the present 
 time, and, during the summer, the society is often favored with 
 the preaching of clergymen who are highly esteemed as preach- 
 ers. It would be too tedious to enumerate them all. The one 
 most frequently heard in later years was Rev. Robert Collyer, 
 D.D. 
 
 Aug. 9, 1869, the parishioners attending church witnessed 
 a much more delightful audience room than they had before 
 seen. Mr. Rice, in the records, notes: "Our church has been 
 beautifully frescoed and painted, and the outside painted. The 
 
^^^^ 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 293 
 
 vestry has been painted, papered, and whitewashed. For the 
 interior decoration the ladies of the society raised most of the 
 funds by fairs. Our friends from out of town (summer visitors) 
 under the lead of Miss Lydia Dodge of Boston and Miss Kit- 
 tredge of West Newton, gave us the proceeds of two dramatic 
 exhibitions, and fifty dollars were received by letter, in answer 
 to circulars sent by Deacon Smith." 
 
 Aug. 9, 1874, the first service of the Protestant Episcopal 
 Church in Dublin was conducted in the Unitarian Church by 
 Rev. Henry Mayer of Philadelphia, at 4 p.m. Mr. Rice, in re- 
 cording the fact, adds: "By his request, I sat in the pulpit with 
 him and read the selections from the Scriptures." On August 
 16, there was a similar service, Mr. DeBlois reading the Scrip- 
 tures. 
 
 Under date of July 7, 1875, Mr, Rice records the fact that 
 he had been seriously ill for the past three Sundays, and that 
 the services in his church had been taken by the Rev. A. W. 
 Jackson of Peterborough. The service was at 5 p.m. The 
 records contain the following explanatory note: "The pastor 
 had a slight shock of paralysis on the 15th ult. [June, 1875], 
 but hopes to be able to resume his duties in the fall. 'All as 
 God wills.'" He was indeed able to resume labor on the 
 second day of November in that year, to the delight, though 
 to the surprise, of his people. In the meantime many clergy- 
 men gave him labors of love, and the desk was supplied every 
 Sunday. 
 
 Aug. 19, 1877, the pastor (Rev. Mr. Rice) read from the pul- 
 pit a note which was signed "A summer visitor" (really written 
 by Mrs. Baring-Gould of New York), expressing gratitude for 
 the hospitality of our church, and for access to its library, pro- 
 posing to place a "strangers' box" in the porch of the church 
 to receive contributions (from strangers only) for the library, 
 or, when no designation of the use be made, to be placed in the 
 hands of the parish committee to be appropriated as they think 
 best. 
 
 On Oct. 7, 1877, after the Sunday-school service, a vote of 
 thanks was tendered Miss Lydia Dodge of Boston for a generous 
 donation of books for the library, purchased with the proceeds 
 of a dramatic entertainment, given under her auspices, by 
 persons mostly from abroad. 
 
 Protestant Episcopalian services were held in the church, dur- 
 ing the months of July and August, 1879, conducted by the Rev. 
 Dr. Goodwin of the Episcopalian Theological School of Phila- 
 
294 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 delphia. The same clergyman conducted similar services in the 
 months of July and August, in 1880. 
 
 The continued ill health of Mr. Rice induced him to resign, 
 April 29, 1881, the resignation taking effect, July 31, 1881. He 
 accepted an invitation to supply the desk through August and 
 September, and preached his last sermon, Sept. 25, 1881. Be- 
 ing, however, the Sunday immediately following the death of 
 President Garfield, circumstances caused the sermon to deal 
 principally with that melancholy event, with brief allusions to 
 the closing of his pastorate. 
 
 Mr. Rice continued to make his home in Dublin until his 
 decease, which occurred, Sept. 22, 1882, lacking but three days 
 of a year from the time of his preaching his last sermon. His 
 body rests in the same cemetery with those of Mr. Sprague and 
 Dr. Leonard. His headstone bears the simple inscription: — 
 
 REV. GEO. M. RICE, 
 
 Born, 
 June 28, 1814, 
 
 Died, 
 Sept. 22, 1882. 
 He giveth his beloved sleep. 
 
 Mr. Rice was very efficiently aided in his pastoral duties by 
 the invaluable services of his estimable wife, whom a kind Prov- 
 idence has spared to the present time (1916), and who still 
 keeps the home endeared to Dublin people by the associations 
 connected with its occupancy by both Dr. Leonard and Mr. 
 Rice. Of late, she has passed the winters with her children and 
 friends in Massachusetts. Mrs. Rice was, in every way, a 
 model pastor's wife. Her refined manners, cultured tastes, her 
 genial and sunny presence among the parishioners, her help- 
 fulness to the sick and the afflicted, and her amiable and virtu- 
 ous character, endeared her to all who knew her. 
 
 The sons and daughters of Mr. Rice were gifted with rare 
 musical tastes, as were the ladies whom the sons married. 
 They have sung in the choirs of large and influential churches, 
 and, when in Dublin, have been very generous in singing for the 
 edification of the community, both in church and at social 
 functions. 
 
 Rev. Mr. Rice was a man of dignified bearing, a gentleman 
 of the olden school, faithful in his parochial duties, edifying in 
 his pulpit ministrations, sympathetic and encouraging to the 
 afflicted, and helpful to the poor. When he entered upon his 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 295 
 
 ministry many of the parishioners were Hving who could recall 
 Rev. Mr. Sprague, and whose lives were a connecting link be- 
 tween the founders of the church and the present. They have 
 all passed on, and there are few living in town today who can 
 recall Dr. Leonard. At the beginning of the writer's pastorate 
 in Dublin, there was a single person in the congregation who 
 could barely recall Mr. Sprague, as he remembered him in his 
 earliest childhood, and who could distinctly remember the 
 appearance of the first meetinghouse, near the cemetery. 
 
 Rev. Hasket Derby Catlin, the sixth pastor of the church, 
 was born in New Brighton, N. Y., June 26, 1839, the son of 
 Charles Taylor and Lucy Ann (Derby) Catlin. He graduated 
 at Yale College, now Y^ale University, with the degree of B.A., 
 in 1859, and received the degree of M.A. from the same insti- 
 tution in 1862. Before beginning his ministry in Dublin, he 
 had labored in three parishes: Neponset, Mass., May 1867-Oc- 
 tober 1870; Northumberland, Pa., May 1873-October 1877; 
 and Harlem, N. Y., 1878-1880. In beginning his labors in 
 Dublin, he makes the following entries upon the church rec- 
 ords : — 
 
 " The new pastor, having, in November, 1881, received and accepted 
 an informal invitation from the executive committee, based upon an 
 inquiry into the mind of the parish generally, to undertake the charge 
 of the parish, began his work, the last Sunday of November [Nov, 27, 
 1881], the service being held on this and the following two Sundays in 
 the vestry, on account of repairs going on above. 
 
 "Dec. 1, 1881. At a parish meeting held this evening, a formal call 
 was extended to Mr. Catlin, which he, in a few days, formally accepted. 
 A committee to confer with the pastor about a service of installation 
 was appointed, but it was agreed to defer the service until summer. 
 
 The installation of Mr. Catlin, whose work began oflBcially 
 on Nov. 27, 1881, occurred on June 28, 1882. The introductory 
 prayer was offered by Rev. William H. Walbridge of Peter- 
 borough; the Scriptures were read by Rev. Charles G. Ames, 
 then of Philadelphia, Pa., in the place of Rev. Albert Walkley of 
 Keene, who was unable to be present; the hymn by Samuel 
 Longfellow, "Before the power that asks not word," was then 
 sung; the sermon was by Rev. Charles G. Ames; the installing 
 prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Polk of the Universalist 
 church in Marlborough, in place of Rev. Stephen H. Camp of 
 Brooklyn, N. Y., who was expected, but was unavoidably pre- 
 vented from attending; the charge to the pastor was by the Rev. 
 
296 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 John H. Morison, D.D., of Boston and Peterborough; the right 
 hand of fellowship, which was to have been extended by Rev. 
 Samuel C. Beane of Concord, N. H., was extended by Rev. 
 William H. Walbridge, who read from the manuscript that Mr. 
 Beane had prepared; the address to the people was by the retir- 
 ing pastor. Rev. George M. Rice of Dublin; an address on be- 
 half of the people was given by James G. Piper, Esq., of Dublin; 
 and the pastor pronounced the benediction. There was no 
 formal council held. 
 
 The first important event, after the installation of Mr. Catlin, 
 was the funeral of his venerable predecessor, the worthy Mr. 
 Rice, which was held in the church, on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 
 24, 1882. There was a very large attendance of parishioners, 
 citizens, kindred, and friends, from this and adjoining towns, 
 all of whom retained precious memories of the dignified life and 
 honorable pastorate of the good man who had "entered into 
 the joy of his Lord." 
 
 On Wednesday evening, Jan. 24, 1883, Mr. CatHn gave the 
 first of a series of lectures, to be given on alternate Wednesdays, 
 in the Town Hall, interspersed with vesper services. This course 
 of lectures was continued through the season. 
 
 The leading event in the pastorate of Mr. Catlin was the com- 
 pletion of the new parsonage, which stood upon the site of the 
 present parsonage, and which was first occupied by the family 
 of Mr. Catlin on July 4, 1883. 
 
 On Sunday, Nov. 4, 1883, Mr. Catlin requested a vote to be 
 taken by both the church and the congregation (other than 
 church members) as to the propriety of adopting what is known 
 as the symbolic method of celebrating the Lord's Supper. In 
 both ballots, there was a majority in favor of this method. This 
 form of the celebration was observed during Mr. Cathn's min- 
 istry, but the church, at a later date, decided to return to the 
 ancient custom, which was hallowed by usage and the tenderest 
 associations. 
 
 In the latter part of 1883 and the beginning of 1884, the ves- 
 try was renovated and certain much-needed alterations were 
 made. 
 
 Mr. Catlin did not enjoy firm health. In the early part of 
 1884, the church was closed for five Sundays in consequence of 
 his illness. For two more Sundays, services were held in the af- 
 ternoon, conducted, as a labor of love, by the Rev. Mr. Polk of 
 the Universalist church of Marlborough. 
 
 On May 17, 1885, the pastor read his letter of resignation. 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 297 
 
 In the church records, we find a lengthy statement, written l)y 
 himself, of his reasons for taking this step. He had desired to 
 make a change in the phraseology of the church covenant. This 
 led to a sharp difference of opinions, upon this subject, between 
 himself and some of the most influential members of the church. 
 The change was not effected. In the same note of explanation, 
 Mr. Catlin states that his attitude upon certain political ques- 
 tions, especially during the exciting presidential campaign of 
 1884, had created a certain amount of dissatisfaction among his 
 people. 
 
 Mr. Catlin was an earnest, sincere man, and labored as assid- 
 uously as his delicate health would permit, to promote what he 
 conceived to be the best interests of the society. He entertained 
 certain views, with respect to doctrines and polity, that were 
 considered quite radical at the time, especially by the members 
 of an ancient, conservative church. As the decades pass, such 
 questions are viewed from new view-points, and positions once 
 thought to be untenable are regarded more favorably. 
 
 Mr. Catlin closed his labors in Dublin, and preached his last 
 sermon in that place, Sunday, Aug. 16, 1885. He has had three 
 settlements since leaving Dublin: Eastport, Me., 1886-1896; 
 Gouverneur, N. Y., 1896-1900; and Northumberland, Pa. (his 
 second pastorate in that parish), from 1910 to the present time. 
 Mr. Catlin's son, Joseph Priestley Catlin, who was a little lad 
 when in Dublin, is now married and in business. A little daugh- 
 ter, Lucy Helen Catlin, born in Eastport, Me., in 1889, died 
 there at the close of the following year. Mrs. Catlin was Miss 
 Hannah Taggart Priestley, a descendant of the celebrated Rev. 
 Joseph Priestley, famed as a scientist, scholar, and preacher 
 of an independent, liberal faith, who was the friend of Benjamin 
 Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. In this country, Mr. Priestley 
 lived and labored at Northumberland, Pa., where Mr. Catlin 
 now resides, amid the places and scenes hallowed by the mem- 
 ories of his wife's distinguished ancestor. 
 
 Rev. Granville Pierce, the seventh pastor of the church, 
 was born in Townsend, Mass., Dec. 17, 1847. He did not re- 
 ceive a classical education. He studied two years at the Mead- 
 ville. Pa., Theological School. Before coming to Dublin, he had 
 filled engagements in the following parishes: First Unitarian 
 Society of Berlin, Mass., July 1, 1873 (ordained, Nov. 19, 1873) 
 -Oct. 1, 1876; First Congregational (Unitarian) Society, West- 
 borough, Mass., Sept. 1, 1876-Oct. 7, 1877; First Congrega- 
 tional (Unitarian) Parish, Medfield, Mass., October 1877 (in- 
 
298 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 stalled, Nov. 8, 1877)-June 30, 1881; First Congregational 
 (Unitarian) Society, Revere, Mass., June 30, 1881-May 1883; 
 and the Liberal Christian Congregational Society of Holyoke, 
 Mass., May 13, 1883-Sept. 26, 1886. 
 
 With respect to his coming to Dublin, he notes upon the 
 records: "The new pastor, after preaching here [in Dublin] 
 the first Sunday in May, 1886, received an invitation from the 
 society, bearing date of May 30, 1886, to become its pastor, 
 which was virtually accepted. This invitation came not in the 
 form of a call, but a 'formal call' was extended, bearing date, 
 Aug. 7, 1886, and, early in September, was formally accepted. 
 Having closed his pastorate at Holyoke, Mass., with September, 
 he removed his family and goods to Dublin, late in that month, 
 and began his ministerial labors in that town, Oct. 1, 1886." 
 His first sermon, after formally beginning his pastorate, was on 
 Sunday, Oct. 3, 1886. It was deemed best to dispense with 
 formal services of installation. 
 
 Mr. Pierce was an earnest and faithful worker. The church 
 prospered under his ministration, and several were received into 
 full communion. He was genial and amiable in manner, of a 
 sympathetic nature, entering heartily into the joys and pleas- 
 ures of his people, and very comforting in his ministrations to 
 those in affliction. He had a happy ministry of three and one- 
 fourth years. He read his letter of resignation, Nov. 24, 1889, 
 and closed his labors with the church, on Sunday, Dec. 29, 1889. 
 The General Catalogue of the Meadville Theological School has 
 the closing year of his Dublin pastorate 1890, by mistake. He 
 gave, as his reason for offering his resignation, the fact that he 
 had "received a call to a larger field of labor, which he felt that 
 he ought to accept." The parish to which he was called was 
 Lebanon, N. H. It was a new society, which started with 
 much encouragement, both pecuniary and social. Notwith- 
 standing some interesting and exciting events in its history, the 
 Lebanon parish still continues to be a strong and prosperous 
 organization. It is called the First Congregational Unitarian 
 Society of Lebanon. Mr. Pierce was its minister, from Jan. 5, 
 1890, to Dec. 27, 1891. 
 
 After leaving Lebanon, Mr. Pierce ministered to the follow- 
 ing parishes: First Congregational (Unitarian) Society of 
 Chelmsford, Mass., March 6, 1892 (installed. May 2, 1892)- 
 March 31, 1901; First Congregational (Unitarian) Parish, Pep- 
 perell, Mass., June 2, 1901-Sept. 30, 1906; First Parish and 
 Religious Society (Unitarian), Warwick, Mass., April 1, 1908- 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 299 
 
 March 31, 1909; First Parish (Unitarian), Ashby, Mass., where 
 Rev. Mr. Shaw labored many years, April 1, 1909 (installed, 
 June 17, 1909)-1912; and the First Religious (Unitarian) So- 
 ciety of Carlisle, Mass. He has now retired from the active 
 work of the ministry, and is Hving at Kingston, Mass., in 1916. 
 Rev. George Wilber Patten, the eighth pastor of the 
 church, was born in Stockholm, N. Y., July 6, 1843. He did 
 not receive a collegiate education. He graduated at the Har- 
 vard Divinity School in 1871, after pursuing a two years' course 
 of study at that institution. He was ordained at Topeka, Kans., 
 July 15, 1871, where he remained until July, 1874. He after- 
 wards labored in the following parishes: Haverhill, Mass., 
 Jan. 1, 1875-April 1876; Newport, N. H., May 1878-April 1880; 
 Cooperstown, N. Y. (Universalist parish), April 1882-April 
 1886; and Walpole, N. H., in the Unitarian church, April 1887- 
 January 1890. 
 
 He began his labors as the pastor of this church, Feb. 12, 
 1890, without any formal ceremony of installation. In a month 
 after his labors began, March 13, 1890, Deacon Jesse Ripley 
 Appleton, in consequence of advancing years, resigned the 
 office of deacon. Until the election of a successor. Deacon Alli- 
 son was assisted on communion days, in the duties pertaining 
 to that office, by Mr. Charles W. Gowing. Deacon Appleton had 
 officiated many years in that office, and his retirement was 
 greatly regretted, and, in reluctantly accepting his resignation, 
 the hope was indulged that he might long be spared to enjoy 
 the honors he had honorably earned. This wish was gratified 
 and fourteen more years were added to the life of that worthy 
 man. On Easter Sunday, 1891, there were eight admissions to 
 the church and four baptisms. Pursuant to a vote of the society, 
 passed on Sept. 24, 1892, furnaces were put into the meeting- 
 house in the autumn of that year. 
 
 Mr. Patten tried to labor for the best interests of his parish. 
 His ministry here of six years and eight months was longer 
 than many pastorates in small churches at the present time. 
 He closed his labors with the society on Oct. 1, 1896. 
 
 It was more than five years before Mr. Patten was again 
 settled. He served the Unitarian church at Bernardston, Mass., 
 from Jan. 15, 1902, until July 1, 1904. The last days of Mr. 
 Patten were very pathetic. During his Bernardston pastorate, 
 while in his cellar, one day, to throw a shovel-full of coal upon 
 the furnace, something seemed to dart through one of his eyes. 
 It was afterwards diagnosed to be a scale that had peeled from 
 
300 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 an artery or nerve supplying the eye. He hoped that the diffi- 
 culty would soon pass away, but it never did do so. The malady 
 grew worse. Eventually, the other eye was involved. He prac- 
 tically lost his sight. The writer recalls his entering the chapel 
 of Divinity Hall in Cambridge, on the occasion of an annual 
 meeting of the alunmi association, when it was impossible for 
 him to thread his way to a seat without assistance. 
 
 After leaving Bernardston, Mr. Patten and his family resided 
 in Cambridge, Mass. Friends, classmates, and neighbors were 
 prompt in extending the kindest courtesies and sympathy, and, 
 in the society of cultured companions, the time did not drag 
 so drearily as one might have expected, under the circumstances. 
 Mr. Patten died in a Boston hospital, April 15, 1910. He was a 
 man who was ambitious to educate his children, and was grati- 
 fied to know that they were all succeeding well in this respect, 
 before he breathed his last breath. 
 
 Rev. George Willis Cooke, the ninth pastor of the church, 
 was born in Comstock, Mich., April 23, 1848. He did not re- 
 ceive a collegiate education, but he was, nevertheless, a well- 
 educated man, who had given close attention to philosophical 
 and historical investigations. He is an extensive reader of the 
 best literature and has a good, well-selected library. 
 
 Before coming to Dublin, Mr. Cooke had ministered to the 
 following parishes : Unity Society, Sheboygan, Wis. (having been 
 ordained in the Independent Congregational Church at Mead- 
 ville, Pa., June 20, 1872), October 1872-May 1873; Liberal 
 Christian Society, Sharon, Mass., July 1, 1873-Feb. 1, 1876; 
 First Unitarian Society, Grand Haven, Mich., Feb. 1, 1876- 
 Oct. 1, 1878; First Unitarian Society (now called All Souls' 
 Unitarian Church), Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 1, 1878-July 1, 
 1880; Third Parish (Unitarian) (now called First Parish of 
 Westwood), West Dedham (now Westwood), Mass., December 
 1880-July 1, 1887; First Congregational (Unitarian) Parish in 
 Sharon, Mass., Oct. 16, 1887-Nov. 1, 1891; and the Follen 
 Church (Unitarian), East Lexington, Mass., Nov. 1, 1891-July 
 1, 1897. He was tw^o years at the Meadville Theological School. 
 
 He writes, in the records of the Dublin church: "I began 
 preaching to the First Congregational (Unitarian) Society in 
 Dublin, N. H., with the first of January, 1898. I removed my 
 family to the parsonage, on the first of May." After a few more 
 entries of events of no public importance, he continues: "On the 
 first of July [1899], I gave notice of my desire to sever my con- 
 nection with the parish on the first of October, 1899." The 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 301 
 
 resignation was accepted, and his pastorate terminated on the 
 date named. 
 
 Mr. Cooke is a man of marked intellectual ability, and a 
 very vigorous thinker. He is evidently most at home in literary 
 pursuits. He is the author of several valuable books, among 
 them being an elaborate life of Ralph Waldo Emerson, in 
 which he shows a rare appreciation of the philosophical opin- 
 ions and trend of thought of that remarkable man. Mr. Cooke 
 has also published a work entitled "Unitarianism in America," 
 in which he traces its origin, growth, and influence in this coun- 
 try. He is a gifted editorial writer, and many of the leading 
 editorials in the "Christian Register," and other prominent 
 periodicals, are from his pen. He is a frequent contributor to 
 magazines. He is a brilliant and lucid lecturer, and frequently 
 appears upon the platform. He has taken up a residence in 
 Wakefield, Mass., which has been his home for many years. 
 
 Rev. Franklin Kent Gifford, the tenth pastor of the 
 church, was born at Garrison, N. Y., March 6, 1861; the son of 
 Rev. Elisha and Louise Jane (Knapp) Gifford. His father is a 
 preacher in the Unitarian denomination, who has had pastor- 
 ates at West Dedham (now Westwood), Mass., and Presque 
 Isle, Me. Franklin Kent Gifford did not receive a collegiate 
 education. He pursued a course of study at Phillips Exeter 
 Academy, and at the Cambridge High School. Before he began 
 his pastorate in Dublin, he had labored in liberal parishes at 
 Jamaica Plain, Mass., 1893-1895; Melrose Highlands, Mass., 
 1895-1897; Asheville, N. C, 1897-1898; and Winona, Minn., 
 1898-1900. 
 
 Mr. Gifford began his ministry in DubHn about the first of 
 April, 1900, after having preached a few Sundays as a candi- 
 date. He was installed, June 6, 1900, in connection with the 
 annual meeting of the New Hampshire Unitarian Association. 
 Rev. William Henry Branigan of Peterborough offered the invo- 
 cation and led the responsive readings. Rev. Clarence Fillmore 
 Maclntire of the Universalist Church in Marlborough read the 
 first hymn. Rev. William Frank Whitcomb of the Trinitarian 
 Congregational Church in Dublin read the Scriptures. The 
 installing prayer was by Rev. Charles Jason Staples of Man- 
 chester. The sermon was by Rev. Hiram Wooster Smith (Uni- 
 versalist) of Worcester, Mass. The second hymn was read by 
 Rev. Henry Clay MacDougall of Franklin. The right hand of 
 fellowship was extended by Rev. Granville Pierce, then of 
 Chelmsford, Mass. The charge to the people was given by Rev, 
 
302 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 (now Rev. Dr.) Charles Brown Elder of Keene. The third hymn 
 was read by Rev. Myron Lewis Cutler (Universalist) of East 
 Jaffrey; and the benediction was by the newly installed pastor. 
 
 The electric lights in the church and vestry were installed at 
 the beginning of Mr. Gifford's ministry, and were ready for use 
 about the first of May, 1900. 
 
 Mr. Wilfred M. Fiske was inducted into the office of deacon 
 on the fifth of May, 1900, in the place of Deacon J. R. Appleton, 
 who had resigned some years previously. 
 
 Mr. Gifford closed his ministry, on the fourth of May, 1902, 
 after a service of a little more than two years. He was present 
 at the first service, as pastor, of his successor, on May 11, 1902. 
 
 After leaving Dublin, Mr. Gifford did ministerial duty at 
 Fort Collins, Col., 1902-1906; Laconia, N. H., 1906-1908; and 
 Sandwich, Mass., where he has resided since 1910. 
 
 About the first of May, 1902, the executive committee of the 
 First Congregational (Unitarian) Society "voted to ask Rev. 
 JosiAH Lafayette Seward, D.D., of Keene, to supply the 
 desk." He is the eleventh and present pastor of the church. 
 He was born in the near-by town of Sullivan, April 17, 1845, 
 the son of David and Arvilla (Matthews) Seward. He is of Dub- 
 lin stock, being a lineal descendant of Thomas and Mary (Tread- 
 way) Morse, who settled on lot 16, range 5, in Dublin, where the 
 present Troy road leads from the road to Marlborough via 
 Stone Pond. Mr. Morse is considered to have been the first 
 permanent English settler of Dublin. His daughter Abigail 
 married Daniel Wilson of Keene and Sullivan. The latter's 
 daughter, Polly Wilson, married Josiah Seward, Jr., of Sullivan. 
 The latter's son, David, was the father of the present pastor. 
 
 Mr. Seward studied two years at the Westmoreland Valley 
 Seminary, under the tuition of Rev. (now Rev. Dr.) S. H. 
 McCollester. He graduated at Phillips Exeter Academy in 1864 ; 
 at Harvard University, with the degree of A.B., in 1868; A.M. 
 in 1871; and at the Harvard Divinity School, with the degree 
 of B.D., in 1874. He taught a year in West Virginia, another 
 year in Boston, and was the first principal of the Conant Free 
 School in Jaffrey, now the Conant High School of Jaffrey. He 
 was ordained at Lowell, Mass., Dec. 31, 1874, and held the 
 pastorate of that church until July 31, 1888. He was then the 
 pastor of the Unitarian Church at Waterville, Me., from Aug. 
 1, 1888, to Nov. 25, 1893. He then became the pastor of Unity 
 Church in Allston (a section of Brighton, now a part of Boston), 
 Mass., from Nov. 26, 1893, to Oct. 8, 1899. He then moved to 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 303 
 
 Keene, N. H., where he has been engaged in Hterary work. He 
 began his ministerial work in DubHn, May 11, 1902, without 
 formal installation, and has since continued to labor with the 
 society. In 1898, Colby University (now Colby College) gave 
 him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. He has the 
 History of Sullivan, N. H., ready for the press, and has revised 
 and brought to date the former History of Dublin. 
 
 On the evening of Nov. 22, 1908, the parsonage of the First 
 Congregational (Unitarian) Society, which was completed in 
 1883, and first occupied by Mr. Catlin's family on the fourth day 
 of July in that year, was totally destroyed by fire. It was near 
 the buildings connected with the Leffingwell Inn, which con- 
 sisted of a three-story hotel and a house a few feet east of it. A 
 fire in the hotel originated from some cause which has never 
 been definitely explained. Both the hotel and the house east 
 of it were soon enveloped in flames. An adverse wind blew 
 blazing cinders upon the parsonage, only a few feet to the east. 
 In consequence of the lack of adequate apparatus in the village 
 to extinguish fires, it was impossible to save the building. The 
 society built another, much better, parsonage upon the same 
 site, in 1910-1911, which was rented by A. H. Childs, M.D., 
 who first occupied it, Dec. 20, 1911, and continued to live there 
 until April 1, 1915. Mrs. George H. Preston moved into it, 
 May 8, 1915, and is living there as these pages go to the press. 
 
 On Sunday morning, Aug. 28, 1910, His Excellency William 
 Howard Taft, President of the United States, who was spend- 
 ing a week-end with Hon. Franklin MacVeagh, a member of 
 his cabinet, who has a summer residence in Dublin, attended 
 divine service in the Unitarian Church. The President was ac- 
 companied by his wife and daughter and other personal friends. 
 He was attended by his personal body-guard. Major Butt, who 
 afterwards lost his life on the ill-fated Titanic. Several private 
 detectives were present, and Sheriff Lord of Keene, with all the 
 deputy sheriffs of the county, assisted in the measures taken to 
 protect from possible harm the person of the chief magistrate. 
 While such precautions might, at first thought, seem unneces- 
 sary, the attempts upon the lives of several preceding Presi- 
 dents have demonstrated the liability of a chief executive to 
 such attacks, even in the most unexpected places. The fact that 
 the President would appear in church that morning became 
 quite extensively known in this town and in neighboring towns, 
 and the church was well filled. The pastor's sermon, from Gen. 
 II. 3, contained no specific reference to the President; it was 
 
304 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 written before it was known that he was to be one of the 
 worshippers. The morning collection, an unusally large one, 
 was used for the benefit of hospitals. 
 
 During the summers of 1912 and 1913, the British Ambassa- 
 dor to the United States, Hon. (now Viscount) James Bryce, 
 author of "The American Commonwealth," established him- 
 self in Dublin. He was frequently seen at the morning services 
 of this church. 
 
 During the first six years of the present pastorate, Rev. Rob- 
 ert Collyer, D.D., then of New York, N. Y., preached two 
 Sundays, each summer, at the usual morning hour. Rev. John 
 AYilliam Day of St. Louis, Mo.; Rev. William B. Geoghegan of 
 New Bedford, Mass.; Rev. Francis S. Thacher of Cambridge, 
 Mass.; and other visiting clergymen have favored the pastor 
 with labors of love. Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells of Boston, Mass., 
 on two occasions, addressed the audience at morning service. 
 
 On Aug. 11, 1912, the distinguished Persian sage. Abbas 
 Effendi, who is designated Abdul-Baha (servant of Baha), oc- 
 cupied the desk of the Unitarian Church, addressing a large au- 
 dience. He is the son of Baha'O'Llah, the founder of the phil- 
 osophical and religious movement known as the Baha sj^stem, 
 from the former part of his name. Before the latter's death, he 
 appointed his son, Abbas Effendi, to be Abdul-Baha, "To be 
 the 'Center of the Covenant' of light, love, and peace, which 
 he had founded in the Name of God." It is a pure, rational sys- 
 tem of philosophy, inculcating the practice of moral and re- 
 ligious precepts of the highest order. The patriarchal appear- 
 ance and oriental costume of the speaker imparted a peculiar 
 solemnity to his utterances. Not being able to speak English, 
 an interpreter repeated the discourse, sentence by sentence, in 
 that language. At the conclusion of his discourse, the sage 
 offered a prayer, interpreted like his address, phrased in the 
 most devout and spiritual language, which deeply moved the 
 hearts of all who listened. 
 
 Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who regularly attended 
 the church, every summer, while his health permitted, occa- 
 sionally addressed the people on secular subjects in the vestry. 
 He was formerly a Unitarian clergyman, but, on leaving that 
 profession, he said that he felt more at home upon the lecture 
 platform than in the pulpit. He was always helpful to the pastor 
 in many ways. 
 
 The vestry of the Unitarian meetinghouse was first used on 
 the completion of the building, which was dedicated, March 2, 
 
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY 305 
 
 1853. It served the purposes of a town hall from this date 
 until the dedication of the new Town Hall, Dec. 28, 1882. 
 
 The Sunday-school has met here after the morning service. 
 The Sewing Circle has gathered here once a month. As the 
 vestry supplied the place of a town hall, it was used for secular 
 purposes more commonly than would have been done other- 
 wise. Dances were often held in the room. Richard Phillips, 
 familiarly known as "Uncle Dick Phillips," who became famous 
 as a violoncello player throughout this vicinity, furnished the 
 dance music in former years. Occasionally, in the winter sea- 
 son, there were singing-schools in the vestry. The following 
 are recalled as teachers of singing: Hosea Holt, Miss Thurston, 
 Chauncy M. Wyman, George W. Foster (each of the latter two, 
 both of Keene, taught more than one term), S. F. Merrill of 
 Keene, Orson L. Mason, and Miss Bertha F. Smith, in the order 
 in which the names are here given. Writing-schools were also 
 taught by Asa H. Fisk, Thomas Fisk, Allison Z. Mason, 
 Charles K. Mason, Albert Whitney, Fred. Wellman, and Henry 
 D. Allison. The fall term of the high school was held in this 
 room, excepting the last, which was held on the lower floor of 
 the Town Hall. The Good Templars have occupied this vestry 
 and, later on, the Grange. Here flowers were brought and 
 arranged for the decoration of graves on Memorial Day. After 
 a time, in one corner, by erecting a partition, a room was formed 
 for the "Juvenile and Social Library," in the place where the 
 pulpit of the old church on the hill had been kept for a number 
 of years. 
 
 Most important of all gatherings, perhaps, was the annual 
 town-meeting. Here also the "Dublin Literary Society" held 
 its meetings through the fall and winter. This society was 
 started in the late sixties by James E. Vose of Antrim, then a 
 teacher of the village school, and afterwards principal of 
 Gushing Academy, Ashburnham, Mass. It was heartily sup- 
 ported by all the literary, musical, and dramatic talent in town, 
 of which there was then considerable. The meetings were held 
 fortnightly, and the programme included declamations, read- 
 ings, music, and debate, usually also a paper and a play. The 
 play, more than anything else, served to differentiate this organ- 
 ization from anything which had been known in the town before 
 bearing a literary name. The meetings, especially when a play 
 was given, were numerously attended by young people from 
 the surrounding towns, and no other attraction would draw so 
 many to the vestry. This "Literary Society," excepting a few 
 
306 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 years when no meetings were held, continued into the late 
 eighties. 
 
 Musical and dramatic entertainments and lectures by men of 
 world-wide celebrity have been given here, especially in connec- 
 tion with the monthly evening entertainments of the Sewing 
 Circle. The family of the late Prof. Lewis B. Monroe gave 
 concerts of unusual artistic merit, as did Prof. George L. Osgood 
 of the Conservatory of Music, Boston, Mass., assisted by his 
 brothers, Josiah and Dr. Hamilton Osgood. Readings were 
 given by Prof. Monroe of the Monroe School of Oratory, Boston, 
 Mass., and by two of his pupils. Misses Georgia Cayvan and 
 Madia Craigin, afterwards well-known actresses. Steele Mac- 
 Kaye and members of his family, also Miss Lydia Dodge, gave 
 readings and took parts in dramatic entertainments. Lectures 
 have been given in this room by Col. Thomas Wentworth Hig- 
 ginson, Mark Twain, Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard 
 University, and others. Through each winter, entertainments 
 of a high order are provided monthly here by the ladies of the 
 Sewing Circle. 
 
CHAPTER VIII 
 
 Later Churches 
 Trinitarian Congregational Church 
 
 F ROM the commencement of Mr. Leonard's ministry, a few 
 members of his church had not been satisfied with some of his 
 doctrinal opinions. In the year 1827, measures began to be 
 taken by them for the formation of another church and so- 
 ciety. In June of that year. Deacon Woods resigned his office 
 by sending to the pastor the following letter : — 
 
 "Dublin, June 23, 1827. 
 
 "Rev. Levi. W. Leonard, — Deeming it my duty, under present cir- 
 cumstances and particular reasons, to resign my office in the church, 
 I therefore give up the same. 
 
 "Yours with respect, 
 
 Stephen J. Woods." 
 
 The resignation was accepted, and, in September of the same 
 year, the following request was made : — 
 
 "To the Congregational Church in Dublin. 
 
 "Reverend and Beloved, — We, the undersigned, members of 
 your body, respectfully request of you a dismission, and a recom- 
 mendation of our moral and Christian character. As the reason why 
 we present this request, we beg leave to state that we differ so widely 
 from you in our views of certain doctrines of the gospel which we 
 consider fundamental, that we are unable to walk with you in Chris- 
 tian fellowship, and believe that our better edification and the cause 
 of truth would be promoted by our being disconnected from you, and 
 formed into a separate church. 
 
 Stephen J. Woods. Martha Woods. 
 
 Abijah Richardson. Elizabeth Richardson. 
 
 Lucy Hardy. Rebeckah Hay." 
 
 At a meeting of the First Congregational Church, Septem- 
 ber 30, 1827, "Voted that the request signed by the above- 
 mentioned members of this church be granted." 
 
308 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The result of this movement was the organization of a new 
 society, which at first was designated as the Second Congrega- 
 tional Society of Dublin, but the name was changed, September 
 7, 1828, to that of the First Trinitarian Congregational Society 
 of Dublin, and changed again, April 25, 1837, to the Trinita- 
 rian Congregational Society of Dublin, by which name it is 
 still known. 
 
 The following is an extract from the records of this church: — 
 
 "Agreeably to letters missive from several Christian brethren, 
 lately members of the church under the pastoral care of the Rev. 
 L. W. Leonard, an ecclesiastical council was convened at the house of 
 Joseph Appleton, Esq., in Dublin, at ten o'clock, a.m., November 21, 
 1827, for the purpose of forming them into a Trinitarian Congrega- 
 tional Church. There were present the following pastors and dele- 
 gates, viz. : — 
 
 "Rev. Moses Bradford, without a pastoral charge; Rev. Gad 
 Newell and Brother Josiah Richardson, from the church in Nelson; 
 Rev. Peter Holt and Deacon John Field, from Presbyterian Church, 
 Peterborough; Rev. Z. S. Barstow and Deacon C. H. Jaquith, from 
 church in Keene. 
 
 "The council was organized by choosing Rev. M. Bradford mod- 
 erator, and Rev. Z. S. Barstow scribe; and it was opened with prayer 
 by the moderator. 
 
 "The council proceeded to inquire of the brethren that 
 convened them what communication they had to make concerning 
 the business which they wish to have accomplished. Accordingly, 
 the brethren presented a document from the church connected 
 with the First Congregational Society in Dublin, certifying their 
 regular standing in the church, and dismissing them from that 
 church whenever they shall have formed themselves into another 
 body. 
 
 "The council inquired what was intended in the letter-missive by 
 their differing essentially from the church from which they separate; 
 and, in answer to the question, it was made evident that these breth- 
 ren hold to the great doctrines of the gospel in accordance with the 
 principles of the fathers of New England. 
 
 "Whereas, Voted that Stephen J. Woods, Abijah Richardson, 
 Thomas Hay, Luke Richardson, Martha Woods, Lucy Hardy, Re- 
 beckah Hay, and Elizabeth Richardson, be constituted a Trinitarian 
 Congregational Church. 
 
 "Voted that the public exercises be performed in the following 
 manner: that the Rev. Gad Newell make the first prayer. Rev. Mr. 
 Barstow preach the sermon. Rev. Mr. Bradford attend to the busi- 
 ness of constituting the church, and the Rev. Mr. Holt make the con- 
 cluding prayer.

 " Proceeded to the meetinghouse, performed the parts assigned, and 
 constituted a Trinitarian Congregational Church. 
 "Accepted the above as the minutes of the council. 
 
 "Attest: Moses Bradford, Moderator. 
 Z. S. Barstow, Scribe." 
 
 "November 21, 1827. The church being formed, the members 
 proceeded to choose the Rev. Gad Newell moderator; chose Luke 
 Richardson clerk; chose Stephen J. Woods deacon." 
 
 The confession of faith and covenant adopted on the occasion 
 was the same as that usually received by the churches of the 
 Monadnock Association, which has been printed, and copies of 
 which may be readily obtained. 
 
 At a meeting of the First Congregational (Unitarian) Soci- 
 ety, March 20, 1827, the following vote was passed: — 
 
 "Voted that, in case the Second Congregational Society make 
 arrangements to have preaching the ensuing year, the standing com- 
 mittee of the First Congregational Society be requested to invite 
 said Second Congregational Society to occupy the new meetinghouse 
 at such time or times as it may be the pleasure of said society to pro- 
 vide preaching, to the full extent according to their numbers, and so 
 much farther as the officers of the First Congregational Society, with 
 the advice and consent of Rev. Mr. Leonard and the selectmen, may 
 deem expedient, for the term of one year." 
 
 A similar vote was passed, March 18, 1828, with this differ- 
 ence, however, that "the standing committee of the First 
 Society meet the committee of the Second Congregational So- 
 ciety for the purpose of dividing the sabbaths to which said 
 societies are entitled." In March, 1829, the vote of the society 
 was "that the First Trinitarian Congregational Society in 
 Dublin have leave to occupy the meetinghouse every thirteenth 
 sabbath, the ensuing year." That would have given the new 
 society about four Sundays a year. 
 
 The first record of preaching services, upon the books of this 
 society, is an entry certifying to the fact that fifteen dollars had 
 been paid to Rev. John Sherer, on Monday, August 4, 1828. 
 Judging from future payments for similar services, it would seem 
 that this sum was for preaching twice, probably on Sundays, 
 July 27, 1828, and August 3, 1828. If there were any preaching 
 service for this society previously, there is no record of it. 
 Probably these were the first exercises of the kind. On Monday, 
 September 15, 1828, Rev. Ebenezer Everett received five dol- 
 lars for preaching, and, on October 10, 1828, he received an- 
 
310 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 other payment, the amount this time being twenty-five dollars. 
 He had probably preached on the Sundays from September 14, 
 1828, to October 5, 1828, both inclusive. On December 24, 1828, 
 Benjamin H. Pitman received six dollars, probably for preach- 
 ing on the preceding Sunday. There is also a mention in the 
 records of services by a Rev. Mr. Colman, undoubtedly refer- 
 ring to the Rev. Ebenezer Colman of Swanzey. Rev. John 
 Sherer (last name often spelled Shearer), who, so far as shown 
 by the records, preached, on July 27, 1828, the first sermon to 
 this society, was born in Bridgewater, Pa., in 1791; graduated 
 at Hamilton College, in New York, in 1821, and from Andover 
 Theological Seminary, in 1825; was ordained in September, 
 1825; was settled at Litchfield, N. H., and afterwards in other 
 places; and died, place unknown to us, February 14, 1863, at 
 the age of 72. Rev. Ebenezer Everett was born in Frances- 
 town, N. H., August 31, 1789, and became a Presbyterian cler- 
 gyman in the state of New York. He died at Graham, N. Y^., 
 April 28, 1877, at the age of 87. Rev. Benjamin Henry 
 Pitman was born in Newport, R. I., November 28, 1789; or- 
 dained, October 18, 1820; settled at Goffstown, N. H., and 
 afterwards in other places out of the state; and died, place un- 
 known to us, March 8, 1868, at the age of 78. Rev. Ebenezer 
 Colman was born in Ashby, Mass., February 15, 1790; gradu- 
 ated at Brown University, in 1815; ordained, October 14, 1818; 
 had New Hampshire settlements in Swanzey and Lempster; and 
 died, place unknown to us, June 15, 1859, at the age of 69. 
 These first services were held in the hall of Asa Heald, accord- 
 ing to the records. 
 
 While the Second Congregational Society occupied the meet- 
 inghouse their proportion of the year, the town refused to grant 
 them the use of the Town Hall; but, in 1829, the town "voted 
 that the Second Congregational Society have leave to occupy 
 the Town Hall twelve sabbaths, and that the First Congrega- 
 tional Society have the same privilege." 
 
 In March, 1830, the vote of the town was, "that the Trini- 
 tarian Congregational Society in Dublin have leave to occupy 
 the Town Hall for purposes of religious worship the ensuing 
 year, on condition that they relinquish their privilege of occu- 
 pying the new meetinghouse on sabbath-days, and insure the 
 Town House from injury by reason of their occupying the 
 same." The society took the hall with the above condition and 
 occupied it till their brick church was completed in 1836. In 
 the meantime, different preachers were employed. 
 
LATER CHURCHES 311 
 
 The Rev. Samuel Harris, the first pastor, preached to the 
 society two years, from September 1, 1829. He was born in 
 Ashburnham, Mass., August 18, 1774; ordained, October 9, 
 1805; had settlements in Windham and Dubhn in New Hamp- 
 shire, and afterwards in other states; and died, place unknown, 
 September 6, 1846, aged 72. 
 
 This society erected a brick church, which stood near the 
 present residence of John A. Gleason, which was dedicated, 
 June 22, 1836, the sermon being delivered by Rev. Nathaniel 
 Bouton, D.D., of Concord, N. H. 
 
 The second pastor of the church was Rev. James Tisdale. 
 Between the pastorates of Mr. Harris and Mr. Tisdale, a call 
 had been extended to each of two persons. On July 6, 1833, a 
 call was extended to Rev. Stephen Mores, who was born in 
 Bradford, Mass., February 24, 1794; graduated from Dartmouth 
 College, in 1821, and from the Andover Theological Seminary, 
 in 1825. In New Hampshire, he had settlements in Merrimack 
 and Troy. He refused the call to Dublin. He died, place un- 
 known to us. May 22, 1855, aged 61. Another call was extended, 
 December 14, 1835, to Rev. Preserved Smith, which was also 
 declined. Mr. Smith was born in Winchester, September 11, 
 1801. He graduated at Amherst College, in 1828, and Andover 
 Theological Seminary, in 1831. He had settlements in Carlisle, 
 Mass., and Pittsfield, N. H., and died at Philadelphia, Pa., 
 December 29, 1853, at the age of 52. Mr. Tisdale was born in 
 Taunton, Mass., November 7, 1799; graduated at Brown Uni- 
 versity, in 1821; was ordained, September 29, 1830; and began 
 his ministry in Guildhall, Vt. He began preaching in Dublin, 
 May 1, 1836, and was officially engaged three successive years, 
 from June 1, 1836. His next pastorate was in Gilsum; whence 
 he went to the Central West, and died at Tonica, 111., February 
 28, 1863, at 63 years of age. He was a man of various learning, 
 earnest and active in the cause of popular education, and a 
 ready debater in the Lyceum. As he was about to remove his 
 family to Gilsum, in 1841, the following resolution was unani- 
 mously adopted at a meeting of the Dublin Lyceum: — 
 
 " Resolved, That the thanks of the members of the Dublin Lyceum 
 be presented to the Rev. James Tisdale for the interest which he has 
 taken in our exercises during his residence in town, and for the effi- 
 cient aid which he has rendered by delivering lectures, writing for 
 and conducting the paper, making reports on subjects assigned, and 
 engaging in the debates ; and that we wish him and his family success 
 and prosperity in the new field of labor he is about to occupy." 
 
312 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Rev. Henry Adams Kendall, the third pastor of the church, 
 was born in Leominster, Mass., August 6, 1810, and graduated 
 at the Gilmanton, N. H., Theological Seminary, in 1840. He 
 received a call from this church and society to settle as their 
 minister, in compliance with a vote of the society of August 24, 
 1840, in concurrence with the corresponding vote of the church. 
 Mr. Kendall's reply to the church was as follows: — 
 
 "To the Committee of the Trinitarian Congregational Church in 
 Dublin. 
 
 " Christlvn Brethren, — Having been called in the providence 
 of God, to labor with you for a season in the cause of Christ, and hav- 
 ing now received a call from you to become your pastor, I have sought 
 divine direction in regard to my continuing with you; and, feeling that 
 God has opened the way for me still to labor with and for you, in pro- 
 moting his kingdom in this Place, I do, therefore, accept your call, 
 praying that the God of all grace would enable us to do his will in the 
 faithful discharge of the duties of our relations one to another, and to 
 our common Lord. — And subscribe myself yours in Christian love 
 and fellowship, 
 
 Henry A. Kendall."

 "They were organized as an ecclesiastical council by the choice of 
 Rev. Mr. Burgess as moderator, and Rev. Mr. Lee scribe. Prayer 
 was offered by the moderator. 
 
 "The doings of the church and society in the call of Mr. Kendall, 
 and his reply to the same, also his certificate of church membership, 
 and his license to preach the gospel, were presented, and voted 
 satisfactory. Voted to proceed to the ordination of Mr. Kendall as 
 
LATER CHURCHES 313 
 
 pastor of the Trinitarian Church, tomorrow, October 21, 1840, at two 
 o'clock. 
 
 " The public services were assigned as follows : — 
 
 Invocation and reading of the Scriptures by Rev. James Tisdale. 
 
 Introductory prayer Rev. Mr. Crosby. 
 
 Sermon by Prof. Warner; in his absence . Rev. Mr. Burgess. 
 
 Ordaining prayer Rev. Mr. Barstow. 
 
 Fellowship of the churches Rev. Mr. French. 
 
 Address to the people Rev. Mr. Lee. 
 
 Concluding prayer Rev. Mr. Grosvenor. 
 
 "Church-meeting, May 14, 1842, at the meetinghouse; opened by 
 reading Matt. XVIII. 21-35, and prayer. 
 
 "The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously 
 adopted, viz. : 
 
 "Believing that holding slaves is contrary to the spirit of the 
 gospel, and consequently inconsistent with Christian character, we, 
 therefore, as a church of Christ, — 
 
 "Resolve, 1. That we deplore the existence of the sin of slavery in 
 the church. 2. That we cannot and do not recognize the slave-holder 
 continuing such, as a worthy follower of Jesus Christ. 3. That we 
 cannot fellowship those who thus walk, as we think, contrary to the 
 gospel rule, and, therefore, must not invite them to our communion." 
 
 We do not know whether any special circumstance occa- 
 sioned the passing of these resolutions. The contingency of a 
 slave-holder presenting himself at the communion service in 
 this church was so remote that the resolutions seem superflu- 
 ous, although the principles contained therein were just and 
 might properly have been annunciated by all churches. 
 
 June 4, 1850, Rev. H. A. Kendall requested a dismission. 
 An ecclesiastical council was called, and met, July 18, 1850. 
 The result of the council was, that the pastoral relations be- 
 tween Rev. Mr. Kendall and his people be dissolved. The fol- 
 lowing is an extract from said result: — 
 
 "In coming to this decision, the council are happy that nothing has 
 come to their knowledge which injuriously affects the Christian and 
 ministerial character of the pastor; but, on the contrary, they are 
 highly gratified in witnessing the meekness which he has manifested, 
 and particularly his earnest desire and willingness to make sacrifices 
 for the future peace and prosperity of the church of Christ in this 
 place; and it gives us pleasure to recommend him as a devoted and 
 faithful minister of the gospel." 
 
 The next pastorate of Mr. Kendall was at East Concord, 
 N. H. While in Dublin, he married Miss Harriet G., daughter 
 
314 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 of Isaac Appleton, by whom he had three children, the young- 
 est of whom died young at East Concord. 
 
 February 4, 1851, the Trinitarian Congregational Church 
 voted unanimously to present a call to the Rev. Alonzo Hayes 
 to become the fourth pastor of the church. Mr. Hayes was born 
 in Barrington, N. H., August 22, 1810, the son of John Wingate 
 and Mary (Hale) Hayes. He graduated at Dartmouth College, 
 in 1839. He was a teacher at Washington, D. C, 1839-1840. 
 He studied for the ministry there, with Rev. Mr. McLane, and 
 at the Union Theological Seminary, 1840-1841. He graduated 
 at the Andover Theological Seminary, in 1842. He was ordained 
 at West Barnstable, Mass., May 24, 1843, and was dismissed, 
 July 9, 1850. The answer of Mr. Hayes to the Dublin church 
 was as follows : — 
 
 " Respected Brethren, — The many marks of kindness you 
 have shown me, and the interest you have manifested in my labors 
 among you, encourage me to believe that a minister will find among 
 you those motives to diligence and those sources of happiness in the 
 prosecution of his work in the ministry, which are denied to many in 
 this changing age, when so many seem indifferent both to the gospel 
 and those who preach it. 
 
 "When I regard your circumstances as a church and people, I feel 
 deeply interested in your welfare, and earnestly desire that God 
 would pour out his spirit and quicken his people, and bring many 
 souls into the fold of Christ. 
 
 "Difficulties must be met and sacrifices made by me. But these 
 are things the minister of Christ must expect, and which I have long 
 since resolved should never deter me from laboring in the field where 
 the providence of God seemed to call. Encouraged to believe that I 
 am acting under the direction of the Great Head of the church, on 
 whom I rely for his blessing and guidance, I accept the invitation of 
 this church and society to become their pastor, believing that the 
 friends of Christ will ever cooperate with me in every good work, and 
 never cease to pray that my labor among you may be blessed. 
 
 "I accept your invitation, provided you give me three sabbaths in 
 a year, and pay the salary semi-annually. 
 
 "Yours truly, 
 
 Alonzo Hayes." 
 
 "Dea. Abijah Richardson, 1 Committee 
 Dea. Jesse Morse, [ of the 
 
 Benj. p. Hardy, j Church and Society." 
 
 "Dublin, February 13, 1851." 
 
 We find the following entry upon the records of the church, 
 respecting the installation of Mr. Hayes : — 
 
LATER CHURCHES 315 
 
 "Pursuant to letters-missive from the Trinitarian Congregational 
 Church in Dublin, an ecclesiastical council convened, April 30, 1851, 
 at 10 o'clock, A.M., in the meetinghouse in Dublin, for the purpose of 
 taking into consideration the expediency of installing the Rev. Alonzo 
 Hayes as pastor of the church and society in that place. The churches 
 represented in Council were the following : — 
 
 Keene, Z. S. Barstow, D.D., pastor; Bro. Chas. Keyes, delegate. 
 
 Marlborough, Rev. Giles Lyman, pastor; Dea. Simeon Whit- 
 comb, delegate. 
 
 Townsend, Mass., Rev. L. H. Sheldon, pastor; Bro. Noah Ball, 
 delegate. 
 
 Jaffrey, Rev. L. Tenney, pastor; Bro. Jno. Frost, delegate. 
 
 Harrisville, Rev. William G. Tuttle, pastor; Bro. Abner S. 
 Hutchinson, delegate. 
 
 East Jaffrey, Rev. J. E. B. Jewett, pastor; Dea. Liberty Moore, 
 delegate. 
 
 Nelson, Bro. Charles H. Whitney, delegate. 
 
 "The Rev. Dr. Barstow was chosen moderator, and Rev. J. E. B. 
 Jewett scribe. Prayer was offered by the moderator. Papers were 
 then presented by the pastor-elect certifying his standing in the church 
 of Christ, and as a minister of the gospel; also papers signifying that 
 a call had been extended and accepted by him, all which papers were 
 found to be satisfactory. The candidate then presented a brief of his 
 theological views and opinions. 
 
 "An examination then followed, which was thorough, and was 
 unanimously voted to be satisfactory. The parts for the public exer- 
 cises of the afternoon were then assigned, as follows : — 
 
 Introductory prayer and reading of the Scriptures, Rev, Giles 
 Lyman. 
 
 Sermon by Rev. L. H. Sheldon. 
 
 Installing prayer by Z. S. Barstow, D.D. 
 
 Charge to the pastor by Rev. L. Tenney. 
 
 Fellowship of the churches by Rev. William G. Tuttle. 
 
 Address to the people by Rev. J. E. B. Jewett. 
 
 Concluding prayer by Rev. D. McClenning (supplying Peter- 
 borough) . 
 
 Benediction by the pastor. 
 
 "The council then adjourned for dinner. The above parts were all 
 performed agreeably to assignment. The council then adjourned 
 sine die. 
 
 "Attest: Z. S. Barstow, Moderator. 
 J. E. B. Jewett, Scribe." 
 
 The pastorate of Mr. Hayes was brief. On the first of March, 
 1853, he ceased from the active duties of the office, but was not 
 formally dismissed until December 12, 1855. He moved to the 
 
316 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 District of Columbia, and took up his residence at Hall's Cross 
 Roads, Alexandria, Va., where he died, July lo, 1858, lacking 
 but a few weeks of being 48 years of age. 
 
 At the time that Mr. Hayes left, the number of members of 
 the church was forty-six. The deacons were Jesse Morse and 
 Abijah Richardson, but the records fail to show the dates of 
 election. 
 
 From this time, the records of the church are quite defective, 
 and those of the Society are very meagre. We have obtained a 
 little additional information from Hazen's "Congregational and 
 Presbyterian Ministry and Churches of New Hampshire." 
 Considerable matter is likewise supplied by Lawrence's "New 
 Hampshire Churches," also by Carter's "Native Ministry of 
 New Hampshire." 
 
 After Mr. Hayes left, there was only occasional preaching, for 
 a time. Rev. George Solon Kemp supplied a year from the first 
 of June, 1854. He was born in Sullivan, N. H., August 8, 1816; 
 studied at the Kimball Union Academy, at Meriden; and grad- 
 uated at the Bangor Theological Seminary, in 1851. Before 
 coming to Dublin, he had preached in Whitney ville, Me.; 
 Jonesboro, Me.; Whiting, Me., and Holmes Hole, Mass., 1851- 
 1852. He was ordained at Windham, Vt., February 28, 1856; 
 dismissed, April 17, 1860. He supphed, for short periods. New 
 Salem, Mass.; Roxbury, N. H.; West Newfield and Parsons- 
 field, Me.; West Brooksville, Me.; and East Douglas, Mass. 
 He died at Lebanon, Conn., May 3, 1900. He was the fifth 
 pastor of the Dublin church. 
 
 Rev. Edward Farrington Abbott was the sixth pastor of 
 the church. He was born in Andover, Mass., December 24, 
 1816. He did not receive a classical education. He graduated 
 from the Gilmanton Theological Seminary, in 1846. He was 
 ordained at Milton, N. H., August 10, 1846, at the First Church, 
 and was dismissed, May 10, 1848. He was at Loudon, N. H., 
 from 1849 to 1854. He was installed in Dublin, December 12, 
 1855. He had received a call from the church, November 26, 
 1855, and from the society on the same day. Mr. Abbott ac- 
 cepted the call, December 6, 1855. The following are the min- 
 utes of the installing council : — 
 
 " In accordance with letters missive from the Trinitarian Congre- 
 gational Church and Society in Dublin, to take into consideration the 
 dismission of Rev. A. Hayes, and the installation of Rev. E. F. Abbott 
 over said church and society, the following pastors and delegates 
 convened at the house of Dea. Luke Richardson, on Thursday, 
 
LATER CHURCHES 317 
 
 December 12, 1855, at 10 o'clock, a.m., for the above-named 
 purposes; viz.: —

 Bro. Asa Duren, delegate. 
 
 From Harrisville, Rev. W. G. Tuttle, pastor; Bro. Milan Harris,

 Without pastoral charge. Rev. J. E. B. Jewett and Rev. D, Mc- 
 Clenning. 
 
 " Council was organized by choosing Rev. Dr. Barstow moderator, 
 and Rev. G. W. Adams scribe. Prayer was offered by the moderator. 
 Certain papers were then presented to the council by a committee of 
 the church in Dublin, setting forth their doings in relation to the 
 business for which they were called by them. The following preamble 
 and resolution were then unanimously adopted : — 
 
 "Whereas Rev. A. Hayes having in the providence of God left his 
 pastoral charge over the Trinitarian Congregational Church in Dub- 
 lin, and having signified his desire to be dismissed from said charge, 
 whenever it should be deemed necessary by the church to settle an- 
 other pastor, and 
 
 "Whereas, such a time has come, and the church and society, by 
 vote, having concurred with him in the request, therefore : — 
 
 "Resolved, That, in the opinion of this ecclesiastical council, the 
 relation of Rev. A. Hayes with the Trinitarian Church and Society of 
 Dublin should be dissolved, and it is hereby dissolved. 
 
 "Resolved, That in the opinion of this ecclesiastical council Bro. 
 Alonzo Hayes is a man of unexceptionable character, a sincere and 
 humble Christian, and we cordially recommend him to the churches 
 of Christ as a faithful and successful minister of the gospel. 
 
 "Council, then, by examination, having satisfied themselves as to 
 the qualifications of Rev. E. F. Abbott for the gospel ministry, voted 
 unanimously to proceed to his installation at one o'clock, p.m. 
 
 "The parts of the installation services were thus assigned, viz.: — 
 
 Reading of the Scriptures and introductory prayer by Rev. Mr. 
 McClenning. 
 
 Sermon and installing prayer by Dr. Barstow. 
 
 Charge to the pastor-elect by Rev. Mr. Adams. 
 
 Right hand of fellowship by Rev. Mr. Tuttle. 
 
 Address to the people by Rev. Mr. Jewett. 
 
 Concluding prayer by Rev. Mr. Adams. 
 
 Benediction by the Pastor. 
 
 "Voted to adjourn to the meetinghouse at one o'clock, p.m., to 
 attend to the public services of the occasion. 
 
 "Agreeably to the above vote, the council convened in the Trini- 
 
318 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 tarian Church at one o'clock, p.m., and the several parts were per- 
 formed as designated above. 
 
 "Voted to accept the above as the minutes of the council. Voted 
 to adjourn sine die. 
 
 "Attest: Z. S. Barstow, Moderator. 
 
 George W. Adams, Scribe." 
 "Dublin, N. H., December 12, 1855." 
 
 Mr. Abbott left at the end of the fourth year of his pastorate, 
 without any formal dismission. He was formally dismissed, 
 much later, by a vote of the society, June 11, 1866. After leav- 
 ing Dublin, Mr. Abbott preached in Surry, 1860-1861, and the 
 next two years in Deering. We have not found the record of 
 his death. 
 
 The cause of Mr. Abbott's leaving Dublin was the inability 
 of the society to pay his salary. Under date of July 13, 1857, 
 we find in the records of the society the following entry : — 
 
 "Rev. E. F. Abbott has had three sabbaths a year to himself, ac- 
 cording to contract. He has been paid out of the treasury of the so- 
 ciety fifty -six dollars and twenty -five cents for each quarter of a year 
 that he has preached since his settlement here. To make up his salary 
 of four hundred dollars a year, there yet remains due to him forty-three 
 dollars and seventy-five cents on each quarter he has preached since 
 his settlement, which sum we were depending upon the New Hamp- 
 shire Missionary Society until we have obtained for his support the 
 interest on the five thousand dollars which Rev. Edward Sprague 
 bequeathed to the Town of Dublin for the support of a minister of 
 the Congregational persuasion, after which, it was the design of the 
 society that the interest on that fund should go to make up his salary 
 instead of any appropriation from the New Hampshire Missionary 
 
 "Augustine Wood, 
 David Appleton, 
 Abijah Richardson, Trustees." 
 
 This abstract from the records is self-explanatory. The so- 
 ciety had not received the help of the New Hampshire Mission- 
 ary Society, and were waiting in the expectation of obtaining 
 the income of the Sprague fund. Not obtaining either, they 
 found themselves considerably in debt to Mr. Abbott. 
 
 The contest to obtain the Sprague fund began officially at a 
 meeting of the Trinitarian Congregational Society in Dublin, 
 held, November 26, 1855, when it was voted "to choose an 
 agent to take legal measures to cause the interest on the five 
 thousand dollars that Rev. Edward Sprague bequeathed to 
 
LATER CHURCHES 319 
 
 the Town of Dublin, for the support of a minister of the Congre- 
 gational persuasion, to be applied agreeably to the tenure of said 
 bequest." Augustine Wood was chosen as the agent to effect 
 this object. 
 
 We find, from the records of the First Congregational (Uni- 
 tarian) Church, that, on January 1, 1856, "A copy of a bill of 
 complaint, entered by the Trinitarian Congregational Society 
 of Dublin and its pastor, was served upon the pastor of the First 
 Congregational Church and Society, requiring him to show 
 himself to be the pastor of a Congregational church, regularly 
 ordained, in order to prove his right to enjoy the income of the 
 Sprague fund." 
 
 The Trinitarian Congregational Society was defeated in this 
 undertaking, and it was a bitter disappointment to them. The 
 matter was carried to the courts, and to the Supreme Judicial 
 Court of the state. The evidence has been printed in full, but 
 it would be too tedious an undertaking to give even an ab- 
 stract of it. 
 
 The final decision of the court, in substance, was, that the 
 testator. Rev. Mr. Sprague, left the fund with the understanding 
 that the income should be paid to the minister of the First Con- 
 gregational (now Unitarian) Society, with no other condition 
 than the requirement that the recipient should be an ordained 
 minister. Congregationalism is a matter of church polity, and 
 not of doctrine; and the court decided that the income of the 
 fund should be paid to the minister of the First Congregational 
 Society, irrespective of any special doctrinal views that he 
 might hold, because no such conditions were imposed by the 
 testator. 
 
 The mistake is too frequently made of connecting Congrega- 
 tionalism with Trinitarians only. There are many Trinitarian 
 Congregationalists, but all Unitarian societies in America are 
 Congregational bodies. Doctrines are another affair altogether. 
 
 On June 11, 1860, the society voted to paint the meetinghouse 
 before hay-time, if a suitable painter could be obtained. Abijah 
 Richardson was chosen as the agent to superintend the paint- 
 ing, and Malachi Richardson was chosen an agent to raise the 
 money with which to do it. 
 
 On October 4, 1860, the society heard the report of the agent 
 appointed to act for the society about the Sprague fund, and 
 it was voted to authorize the agent to borrow a sufficient sum 
 of money, with what had been already raised for the purpose, 
 to settle the costs which had arisen in prosecuting the case. 
 
320 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 With respect to the next two pastors of the church, the 
 church and society records are alike silent. Their names are not 
 even mentioned. We have gathered our data from other sources. 
 
 Rev. Nathan Webb Sheldon was the seventh pastor of this 
 church. He was born in Woolwich, Me., October 19, 1792. He 
 was a graduate of the Bangor Theological Seminary, in 1822. 
 He was ordained, June 2, 1824, and had been a preacher in sev- 
 eral places before coming to Dublin. He was in Stoddard in 
 1858-1859. His engagement in Dublin lasted a year, from July 
 1, 1860. He died, November 26, 1873, at the age of 81. We have 
 not learned the place. The writer remembers him as a man who 
 was slow of speech, but a model Puritan in the probity of his 
 character and the severity of his doctrines. During his engage- 
 ment in Stoddard, his wife died and he oflBciated at her funeral, 
 a very unusual circumstance. 
 
 Rev. Oscar Bissell was the eighth pastor of the church, his 
 term of service extending from the first of August in 1861 to 
 the first of March, 1865. Like his predecessor, he was an acting 
 pastor and there was no formal service of installation. Mr. Bis- 
 sell was born in Litchfield, Conn., December 20, 1822, and was a 
 graduate of Yale in 1849, and of the Hartford Theological In- 
 stitute, in 1853. After brief engagements in other states, he 
 came to New Hampshire in the fifties, and was ordained at 
 the South Village in Westmoreland, May 14, 1856, and was 
 dismissed from that church. May 7, 1861. His next settlement 
 was in Dublin, where he remained, as we have seen, nearly four 
 years. After leaving Dublin, he preached two years in Roxbury. 
 We have not learned the particulars of his death. The writer 
 knew him well in Westmoreland, being a student there while 
 Mr. Bissell was settled over the Second Congregational Church, 
 located at the South Village. Mr. Bissell was a good classical 
 scholar, a clear writer, using good diction, a sunny, genial man, 
 whose presence was always welcome among his parishioners. 
 He was liberal in proportion to his means. He was unmarried 
 when the writer knew him. A serious deafness interfered con- 
 siderably with his parish work, especially in calling upon the 
 sick. 
 
 Rev. Andrew Jackson Fosdick was the ninth pastor of the 
 church. He was born in Nashua, June 3, 1836. He studied at 
 the Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, N. H., 1856-1857; 
 also graduated at the Bangor Theological Seminary, 1860. 
 He was licensed to preach by the Penobscot Association, at 
 Bangor, Me., July 12, 1859. He was ordained at East Al- 
 
LATER CHURCHES 321 
 
 stead, N. H., June 22, 1864; dismissed, March 21, 1866. His 
 Dublin engagement was for four years from the first of May, 
 1866. After leaving Dublin, he went into the farming business, 
 in Milford, N. H., and, finally, became an insurance agent in 
 Boston, Mass., with a residence at East Stoughton, Mass. He 
 was married, August 30, 1860, to Miss Cornelia W. White 
 of Bangor, Me. 
 
 During the ministry of Mr. Fosdick, a fund was raised by 
 subscription, the income of which was to be applied to the pay- 
 ment of the minister's salary. The first mention of this fund 
 upon the records of the society is under the date, June 11, 1866, 
 and is as follows : — 
 
 "Chose Augustine Wood agent, to see that the fund recently con- 
 tributed for the purpose of supporting preaching in the Trinitarian 
 Congregational Society in Dublin be fixed so that it shall never be 
 applied or used contrary to the design of the contributors of said 
 fund." 
 
 On July 7, 1866, the society passed a vote, declaring in the 
 most unequivocal manner the conditions under which the bene- 
 fit of the fund which had been subscribed could be enjoyed. 
 The vote, at this meeting, is as follows : — 
 
 "Voted that the following declaration of trust be adopted, and that 
 a copy thereof, signed by the trustees, be furnished to each contrib- 
 utor to the ministerial fund : — 
 
 "Whereas $2000 has been subscribed by David Appleton, $1000 
 by Malachi Richardson, $500 by Augustine Wood, $200 by Abijah 
 Richardson, $1200 by Abigail Morse, $800 by Sylvia Twitchell, $100 
 by Emily Wood, and paid, or to be paid to the Trustees of said society, 
 to establish a fund for the sole purpose of supporting the Christian 
 religion, in the said Trinitarian Congregational Society, and the in- 
 terest thereof to be paid to the minister of the Trinitarian Congrega- 
 tional persuasion who shall statedly preach in said society, and shall 
 hold to and teach for doctrines the native total depravity of the entire 
 human race, vicarious atonement by Jesus Christ, the supreme divin- 
 ity and deity of Jesus Christ, supernatural regeneration by the Holy 
 Ghost, future eternal rewards and punishments, infant baptism, and 
 the full inspiration and binding authority of the Holy Scriptures as 
 the word of God : — 
 
 "Now, be it known, that said fund and the interest thereof shall be 
 forever held for the trust aforesaid, and if, from any cause, said so- 
 ciety shall hereafter be dissolved, or shall, for three years, cease to 
 maintain public religious services of the character contemplated by 
 the said fund, then the said fund shall revert to the said contributors 
 
322 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 or their legal representatives, and all contributions now or hereafter 
 made to said fund shall also be held upon the same trust and con- 
 ditions." 
 
 This was a declaration which was to be placed in the hands of 
 each contributor. At a meeting of the society, June 10, 1867, 
 it was "Voted that they adopt the vote of the board of trustees 
 in relation to the ministerial fund, and that said fund shall be 
 held upon the trust and conditions stated in said vote." 
 
 That vote was, in effect, the official adoption by the society, 
 for themselves, of the declaration which had been placed in the 
 hands of the contributors. That declaration was appended to 
 this vote, exactly as we have given it, except that one more con- 
 tribution was added to the list, expressed as follows: "The par- 
 sonage and land connected with it, by the proprietors of said 
 parsonage and land, viz., Jesse Morse, Isaac Appleton, Abi- 
 JAH Richardson, and Malachi Richardson." 
 
 It will be seen, by the reader, that the conditions upon which 
 alone this trust can be rightfully enjoyed by any minister of the 
 society are very strict and precise. He cannot rightfully receive 
 the income of the fund or the use of the parsonage, according 
 to the terms of this declaration, copied verbatim from the 
 records, without he shall hold and teach the doctrines therein 
 set forth. The use of the income of the Sprague fund was un- 
 conditioned, except the simple requirement that the minister 
 should be ordained. The use of this trust fund is conditioned 
 upon a belief in, and the teaching of, the particular doctrines 
 set forth. As the years pass, it may become increasingly diflB- 
 cult to find one who can comply with all these conditions. 
 
 Rev. Amos Holbrook was the tenth pastor of the church, 
 to which he ministered in connection with the church in Harris- 
 ville. He was born in Wales, Mass., September 9, 1824. The 
 place was then known as South Brimfield. He was at first a 
 land surveyor. He invented, patented, and applied a time bank 
 lock. He taught school and kept books in Milford, Mass. He 
 was a lay preacher at Mendon, Mass.; South Milford, Mass.; 
 and Braggville, Mass., from December, 1859, to September, 
 1865. He was licensed to preach by the Mendon Association, 
 September 7, 1865. He was the pastor of the church at Box- 
 borough, Mass., from October 14, 1865 (ordained, May 9, 1866), 
 until November 17, 1868. He was at Douglas, Mass., 1868-1871. 
 He supplied Harrisville and Dublin for three years, from the 
 first of November, 1871. He remained two more years in Harris- 
 
LATER CHURCHES 323 
 
 ville, also supplying the pulpit at East Sullivan. He then went 
 into the state of Vermont, supplying the parishes of Saxton's 
 River, 1876-1881; Cambridgeport, a part of the same time, 
 1877-1881; Windham, 1881-1887; and Colchester, 1887-1896. 
 His health failing, he moved to Sturbridge, Mass., and died 
 there, April 10, 1899. 
 
 Rev. John Francis Bassett, the eleventh pastor of the 
 church, was born in Salem, Mass., March 8, 1836. He did not 
 receive a classical education. He studied theology at the New- 
 ton Theological School, a Baptist institution, leaving in 1862, 
 without waiting to complete the course. We are not aware that 
 he was settled elsewhere in New Hampshire, although he occa- 
 sionally preached in other churches. He had been ordained 
 before coming into the state, in April, 1870. He began duty in 
 Dublin, the first of July, 1875, being admitted to the church, 
 July fourth of that year. He preached a year to the society, but 
 he was not formally dismissed from the church until January 
 6, 1881, when he received a letter to a Congregational church 
 in Salem, Mass. 
 
 Rev. Richard Montgomery Burr was the twelfth pastor. 
 He was born in Middletown, Conn., August 13, 1852. He did 
 not receive a classical education. He graduated at the Andover 
 Theological School, then located at Andover, Mass., in 1877. 
 That institution is now located in Cambridge, Mass. Mr. Burr 
 began his duties in Dublin, as the acting pastor of this church, 
 on the first of September, 1877. He was received into the 
 church on September 9, of that year. He also supplied Nelson, 
 at least a portion of the time, in 1880. He was ordained, June 
 16, 1880, in Nelson, and was dismissed from this church, March 
 1, 1880. We hear of his preaching afterwards in Northb ridge, 
 Mass.; Rochdale, Mass.; and Lyme, Conn. 
 
 Rev. George B. Cutler was the thirteenth pastor. He 
 began duty about the middle of the year 1884 and remained a 
 year. We have been unable to ascertain any facts about his 
 pastorate. There are no records of either the church or the 
 society for about a dozen years. There is no record of any 
 meeting of either, for the election of officers, or for any purpose 
 whatsoever, from about 1884 until about 1895. 
 
 Rev. George Washington Ruland was the fourteenth 
 pastor. He was born at Brookhaven, N. Y., April 29, 1840. He 
 studied at a theological school, then located in Concord, N. H., 
 which was known as the Alpha Chapter of the Boston Univer- 
 sity School of Theology. He left this institution in 1867. He 
 
324 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 began preaching in this church, June 7, 1894. He made an 
 arrangement, October 1, 1894, to remain a year. He was re- 
 ceived into the church by letter, January 3, 1895. He contin- 
 ued to preach until June 7, 1895. He took a letter from this 
 church, December 27, 1896, to the First Congregational Church 
 in Keene. 
 
 A Rev. Mr. Rice supplied this church in the month of May, 
 
 1896. Rev. Lysander Dickerman supplied the pulpit from 
 August 3, 1896, for two months, until October 1, 1896. 
 
 Rev. Edwin Bailey Burrows, the fifteenth pastor of the 
 church, was born at Mayville, N. Y., June 30, 1841. He gradu- 
 ated, B.D., at the Y^ale Divinity School, 1872. He was ordained 
 at Lebanon, Ohio, October 11, 1872, and was dismissed, No- 
 vember 15, 1874. He was acting pastor of a church in Mt. Ver- 
 non, Ohio, for about four years, 1875-1879. He was settled at 
 Springfield, Mo., from November 15, 1880, until December 
 31, 1882. He was the acting pastor of a church at Webster 
 Groves, Mo., for about five years, 1883-1888. He was the pastor 
 of this church from October 25, 1896, until June 14, 1897. He 
 died in 1902; we did not learn in what place. 
 
 Rev. William Francis Whitcomb, the sixteenth pastor of 
 the church, was born in Claremont, N. H., October 16, 1873. 
 He graduated at Dartmouth College, A.B., 1896. He came to 
 Dublin in May, 1897, and began a stated engagement, June 1, 
 
 1897. He was ordained in Dublin, September 13, 1899, and his 
 pastorate terminated, October 1, 1900. He was married in 
 about a month after his ordination, on October 12, 1899, to 
 Miss Minnette Eliza Washburn, a native of Springfield, Vt. 
 He was afterwards settled in Surry for more than five years, 
 from October, 1900, to January, 1906; then in Westminster, 
 Vt., from January, 1906, to October, 1910. Since the latter 
 date, he has resided at Claremont, in the meantime supplying 
 a pulpit in Croydon. 
 
 Rev. George Henry Hefflon, the seventeenth pastor of 
 the church, was born at Deep River, Conn., July 10, 1865. He 
 graduated at Yale University, A.B., 1891; A.M. 1897. He pur- 
 sued a course of study at Drew Seminary, 1891-1892. He was 
 settled at Southwest Harbor, Me., in 1895, and ordained there. 
 May 28, 1896, and remained until 1900. He supplied a pulpit 
 at Ellsworth Falls, Me., from 1900 until he came to Dublin in 
 1901. He began his Dublin pastorate about the first of June, 
 1901, and his term of service closed, November 26, 1905, He 
 was a man of scholarlv and refined tastes, but he was afflicted 
 
LATER CHURCHES 325 
 
 with deafness, which seriously interfered with his pastoral du- 
 ties, especially in visiting the sick. Eventually he could not 
 hear his own voice. The effectiveness of his pulpit ministrations 
 was greatly impaired as a result of this affliction. He was of a 
 kindly and genial temperament and won the respect of all who 
 knew him. On leaving Dublin, he studied at the Berkeley 
 Divinity School, and was ordained as a deacon of the Protes- 
 tant Episcopal Church, September 25, 1907, and became the as- 
 sistant minister in All Souls' Church for Deaf Mutes in Phila- 
 delphia. 
 
 Rev. John M. Lamont, the eighteenth pastor, was born and 
 educated in England. He had been considerably in Dublin, 
 and had been a private tutor, engaged in preparing young men 
 for college, and was well known by many of those who compose 
 the "summer colony." He began preaching for the society, 
 March 18, 1906, and was ordained, July 30, 1906. He remained 
 about a year with this society. 
 
 Rev. Henry Albert Coolidge, the nineteenth pastor of the 
 church, was born in Leominster, Mass., May 7, 1867. He pur- 
 sued a course of study at the Maine Wesley an Seminary. Be- 
 fore coming to Dublin, he had preached in Wilmot, N. H.; 
 Francestown, N. H.; West Granville, Mass.; Quincy, Mass.; 
 and elsewhere. He preached in Dublin, July 12, 1908, which was 
 the first Sunday after his acceptance of a call to become the 
 pastor. His last sermon as pastor was on February 11, 1912. 
 He left Dublin on the following day. He preached for a time in 
 Baldwinville, Mass., and is now located on a farm in Antrim. 
 
 Rev. Harry Allen Grant Abbe, the twentieth and present 
 pastor of the church, was born in Hartford, Conn., August 8, 
 1870. He graduated at Yale University, A.B., 1892; also at the 
 Hartford Theological Seminary, B.D., 1900. He has resided in 
 Hartford, Conn.; Fort Payne, Ala.; Centre Nyack, N. Y.; 
 Stowe, Vt.; Somers, Conn.; and Brockton, Mass. He has been 
 the pastor of this church since October 6, 1912. He has 
 labored very earnestly for the best interests of his parish, and 
 he has been greatly aided by his estimable wife, whose musical 
 tastes and varied accomplishments have been much appre- 
 ciated by the people in the village. 
 
 The first services of this society were held in the hall of Asa 
 Heald at the lower end of the viflage. Subsequently, the 
 meetinghouse of the First Congregational (Unitarian) Church 
 was used, the town, for several years, retaining an interest in 
 it. StiU later the old Town Hall was used. On October 14, 1834, 
 
326 
 
 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the society voted to build a meetinghouse. In accordance with 
 that vote, a brick edifice was constructed which stood on or 
 very near the site of the residence of John A. Gleason. It was 
 dedicated, June 22, 1836, the sermon being by Nathaniel Bou- 
 ton, D.D., of Concord, N. H. This edifice stood until 1877. On 
 June 29, 1876, the society voted to "tear down" the brick 
 church and build a new one. At another meeting, it was voted 
 to build where the brick church was. At a subsequent meeting, 
 it was voted to build at the lower end of the village. In accord- 
 ance with the last vote, the present wooden church was built in 
 1877. There is no record of its dedication that we have dis- 
 covered. 
 
 The deacons of this church have been Stephen J. Woods, 
 Jesse Morse, Abijah Richardson, Luke Richardson, Augustine 
 Wood, Charles Burton Shay, and William C. Strong. 
 
 The following is a list of the communicants in this church. 
 All are supposed to have been received upon a profession of 
 faith, except those who were received by letter from other 
 churches, which are indicated, in the list by an "1," followed 
 by the place whence they came, if known. In cases where the 
 dismission is recorded, the name is followed by a "d" and the 
 church to which one was dismissed : —

 Emmanuel (Protestant Episcopal) Church 
 
 On Sunday, August 9, 1874, Rev. Henry Mayer of Phila- 
 delphia conducted a service in the Unitarian meetinghouse at 
 Dublin, according to the ritual of the Protestant Episcopal 
 Church, reading the "Order for Evening Prayer," at four 
 o'clock. The pastor of the Unitarian church, Rev. George M. 
 Rice, was by courtesy invited to read the Scripture selections. 
 On the following Sunday, August 16, 1874, the same clergy- 
 man read the "Order for Evening Prayer," in the Unitarian 
 vestry, at 3.30, p.m., Mr. Deblois reading the lessons from the 
 Scriptures. These services were the beginning of the Protestant 
 Episcopal movement in Dublin. 
 
 During the months of July and August, in each of the years 
 1879 and 1880, Rev. Dr. Goodwin of the Episcopal Theological 
 School in Philadelphia conducted services, according to the 
 ritual of his church, every Sunday afternoon, in the Unitarian 
 meetinghouse. 
 
 Rev. Reuben Kidner, in the following letter to the editor, 
 has given a summary of the history of this church : — 
 
330 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 "Dublin, August 16, 1915. 
 
 "Dear Dr. Seward, — Mrs. Rice tells me that the Rev. Dr. 
 Goodwin of Philadelphia stayed with them during the summer of 
 1879 and that her husband invited him to use his church for afternoon 
 Prayer Book services. [The same was true of the summer of 1880.] 
 
 "In the summer of 1881, two theological students held services in 
 the Town Hall for a little while, but I cannot get particulars. 
 
 "In 1883, Mrs. Copley Greene invited me to come here, and we 
 held services every Sunday of July and August, in the afternoon, at 
 the Town Hall. 
 
 "Miss Caroline L. Rideoute, a summer resident, urged the build- 
 ing of a church, and one day Miss Mary Greene surprised me by 
 sending a letter in which she said that she and her sister. Miss 
 Margaret, would give two thousand dollars towards the building of a 
 church in memory of her sister, Mrs. Caspar Crowninshield, who had 
 died in Dublin, December 28, 1885. Although some of us thought that 
 a church was not needed, the Town Hall serving our purpose pretty 
 well, there was nothing to do but to build. Mr. Crowninshield gave 
 five hundred dollars, Mrs. Copley Greene and her children two hun- 
 dred, and we soon had four thousand in hand. 
 
 "Dr. Hamilton Osgood and Prof. Raphael Pumpelly consented to 
 serve as Trustees and building committee. Mr. Robert D. Andrews 
 of the firm of Andrews and Jacques, Boston, was asked to prepare 
 plans, which he gave as his donation to the enterprise. The design 
 has been much admired, and a copy of it is to be found in one of the 
 French cyclopedias of architecture. The contractor was Mr. A. L. 
 Ball of Dublin. 
 
 "The chancel windows were designed by Mr. Frederic Crownin- 
 shield, and they are memorials of Mrs. Crowninshield. 
 
 "The building, under the name of Emmanuel Church, was conse- 
 crated by Bishop William Woodruff Niles of New Hampshire, 
 August 3, 1888. Services have been maintained in the summer ever 
 since, beginning in June and lasting until the first of October. 
 
 "The rectory was built in 1889. 
 
 " Sincerely yours, 
 
 Reuben Kidner." 
 
 Rev. Reuben Kidner was a graduate of Harvard University, 
 A.B., 1875. He graduated at the Episcopal Theological School, 
 Cambridge, Mass., S.T.B., 1878. He is one of the clergymen 
 connected with Trinity Church, Boston, Mass. He first con- 
 ducted a religious service in Dublin, after the Episcopal form, 
 in the Town Hall, on Sunday afternoon, July 1, 1883, and, 
 under his guiding influence, the society was established. He 
 has ministered to that church since it was organized and has 
 been the only rector. The services were held in the Town Hall 
 
o 
 
 I [ - ILlcL.^ . 
 
LATER CHURCHES 331 
 
 until the consecration of Emmanuel Church on August 3, 1888. 
 In his long and happy pastorate of thirty-three years (to the 
 present time, 1916) Mr. Kidner has endeared himself to the 
 people of Dublin, who will remember him gratefully for the 
 deep interest which he has taken in the welfare of the town, as 
 respects both physical and moral conditions. His excellent 
 wife, a faithful colaborer with him in every good work in which 
 his church was interested, and much beloved by all who knew 
 her, has been stricken with a malady from which she cannot 
 recover, and the sympathy of the entire community goes forth 
 to her and to her husband, who has left nothing undone that 
 could bring her comfort. 
 
 The congregation at this church is composed mainly of the 
 "summer colony." We know of no one representing the old 
 stock of the town who is an Episcopalian. One or two families, 
 employed upon the estates of the summer residents, of "Eng- 
 lish origin, have been of that persuasion. Many of the families 
 who come to Dublin for the summer are Episcopalians. Their 
 particular friends are, from time to time, increasing the size 
 of the group of summer residents, as well as of this congregation. 
 
 Church of Our Lady of the Snows (Roman Catholic) 
 
 Roman Catholic services in Dublin were conducted as early 
 as 1891, in July and August, in the Town Hall; mass being said 
 each Sunday in those months, at 7 a.m. The earliest services 
 were conducted by Rev. Father E. J. Furlong of East Jaffrey. 
 Such services were held in the summer, in the Town Hall for 
 fifteen seasons. 
 
 The Church of our Lady of the Snows was consecrated, 
 August 5, 1905, by Right Reverend E. W. O'Callaghan, V.G., 
 assisted by the following priests: Rev. J. J. Hogan, Newport; 
 Rev. J. H. Brennan, Manchester; Rev. P. J. Scott, Wilton; 
 Rev. F. X. Lyons, Goff's Falls; Rev. F. J. Finning, Keene; 
 Rev. James McGill, Harrisville; Rev. J. P. O'Neil, Peter- 
 borough; Rev. D. A. O'Neil, Troy; and Rev. Dennis A. Ryan 
 of Keene. 
 
 Father E. J. Furlong of East Jaffrey was the first rector of 
 the church. He came over to Dublin on Saturday evenings, re- 
 mained over night, conducted an early mass, at 7, or 7.30, a.m., 
 on Sunday mornings, and returned to East Jaffrey in season for 
 his masses there. He continued to be the pastor until the close 
 of the season of 1905. 
 
332 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Rev. James McGill of Harrisville succeeded Father Fur- 
 long as the second rector, residing in Harrisville, and officiating 
 in Dublin early on Sunday mornings, in the summer. He said 
 his first mass in Dublin on the first Sunday in June, 1906, and 
 his last on the first Sunday in October, 1911, He was very much 
 liked by his people and was a popular man among the citizens 
 in general. He was well educated, genial, and anxious to be 
 helpful in every good work. 
 
 Rev. Daniel J. Cotter of Harrisville succeeded Father Mc- 
 Gill as the third rector of the church. He said his first mass here 
 on the first Sunday in June, 1912, and is still serving the parish 
 as its pastor. 
 
 There has been no resident priest of the Roman Catholic de- 
 nomination in Dublin as yet. Father Furlong resided at East 
 Jaffrey, and the other two at Harrisville. Father Furlong died 
 at East Jafi'rey, May, 1906. 
 
 The congregation at this church is mainly composed of those 
 who are employed by the wealthy summer visitors. There 
 are, however, several families of Roman Catholics who live 
 permanently in Dublin. Some of these are connected with the 
 Roman Catholic Churches in Peterborough, East Jaffrey, and 
 Harrisville. The little church is very attractive in the interior, 
 and makes a cheerful house of worship. Early, every Sunday, 
 one hears the rattling of carriages and the whizzing of the 
 automobiles as the numerous servants from the various man- 
 sions are being conveyed to the seven o'clock mass. These 
 services are held in June, July, August, September, and on one 
 or two Sundays in October, of each year. 
 
 Baptist Church 
 
 The first mention of the Baptist Society in the town records 
 is found in a warrant for a town-meeting to be held, April 29, 
 1784. The following is the article: "To hear the plea of those 
 who call themselves the Baptist Society for being excused from 
 paying Mr. Sprague's salary, and to act anything relating 
 thereto as the town shall see proper." This article was inserted 
 on the petition of Moses Pratt and fifteen others. They say 
 that "the selectmen had rated them (the Baptist Society) to 
 Mr. Sprague for the year 1783, and they beg leave to tell them 
 that they look upon it as unjust and a real grievance." They 
 request the selectmen to call a town-meeting, that they may 
 lay their reasons for redress before the people. The town voted 
 
LATER CHURCHES 333 
 
 to excuse all those from paying Mr. Sprague's salary for the last 
 year who have made a profession of the Baptist persuasion in 
 this town, provided they bring a certificate from the clerk of 
 their society that they were in communion with them before 
 Mr. Sprague's salary was assessed, and they are excused for 
 the present year. 
 
 From the best information, it appears that there were several 
 families of the Baptist persuasion in the north-west part of 
 Dublin (now a part of the town of Harrisville) and the adja- 
 cent towns at an early period. They were considered a part or 
 branch of the Baptist Church of Richmond, under the pastoral 
 care of Rev. Maturin Ballou, father of the late Rev. Hosea 
 Ballon, a distinguished preacher of the Universahst denomi- 
 nation in Boston, Mass. The great distance made it very incon- 
 venient for the Baptists in this vicinity to attend upon the 
 ordinances of the gospel in Richmond. Rev. Mr. Ballou' occa- 
 sionally preached here to remedy in part this inconvenience. 
 This arrangement continued until October 8, 1785, when a 
 meeting was called at the house of John Wight to take the initi- 
 atory steps towards organizing a separate church in Dublin. 
 A request for that purpose was sent to the church at Richmond 
 and a favorable answer was received. By appointment, a meet- 
 ing was held at the house of John Muzzey,i December 7, 1785, 
 at which Rev. Maturin Ballou and his son, Maturin Ballou, Jr., 
 from the church at Richmond, appeared as pastor and dele- 
 gate. They were joined by Rev. Mr. Bayley and Caleb Aldrich 
 from the Baptist Church in Westmoreland. At that house, on 
 the day named, the Baptist Church of Dublin was organized, 
 consisting of fourteen male members and sixteen females, viz. : —

 ' Occupied, in later years, by the Yeardleys and Rowes. It was removed by Charles

 From this time until 1829, the church and society remained in 
 the same form outwardly, but fluctuating very much in num- 
 bers at different times. During the year 1797, the number of 
 admissions to the church was 29 and, in 1806, 48 persons were 
 added to it; while, for ten years following August, 1818, there 
 were only 5 admissions. The whole number of admissions, from 
 the formation of the church to 1829, was 197; 76 males, 121 
 females. These, added to the original 30, make 227; males, 90, 
 females 137. Of these 174 were admitted by baptism, 23 by 
 letter. Sixty-six of these members were dismissed to other 
 churches, 29 were excluded, and 58 had died previous to 1829. 
 Of the remaining 64 no special record is given, excepting the 
 fact that a portion of them renewed the covenant in 1829, at 
 the reorganization of the church. 
 
 The first Baptist minister hired was Rev. Isaiah Stone. 
 The first Baptist sermon in town was preached by Rev. Maturin 
 Ballou of Richmond, at the house of John Muzzey. Mr. Muz- 
 zey is said to have been the first man in town who became a 
 Baptist. We do not discover the exact date of the beginning or 
 close of Mr. Stone's ministry. He was not installed. 
 
 Rev. Moses Kinney came to dispense the divine word to this 
 branch of the church, August 23, 1787. He remained until the 
 first of May, 1794. He was held in high esteem by the people. 
 Thinking that duty called him to another part of the Lord's 
 vineyard, he asked for dismission. 
 
 On the same day that Mr. Kinney was dismissed. May 11, 
 1794, Rev. Elijah Willard was ordained as the third minister 
 of the church. The long active pastorate of Rev. Mr. Willard 
 terminated at the close of the thirty-fifth year of his ministry, 
 in 1829. He survived until August 19, 1839, but preached only 
 occasionally after 1829, retaining an emeritus connection with 
 the church. During a long and devoted ministry, he was very 
 successful in his labors, manifesting a zeal in the cause of his 
 Master seldom exceeded; finally, at an advanced age, in his 
 eighty-ninth year, he was taken from his earthly labors to the 
 enjoyment of that "exceeding great reward," reserved for those 
 who have been "faithful unto death." 
 
 When the church was reorganized, or renewed their covenant, 
 in 1829, only two of the original members remained, one male 
 
LATER CHURCHES 335 
 
 and one female; and they died soon after. Forty-two others, 
 13 males and 29 females, united with them at this time. De- 
 cember 25, 1849, a vote was passed for another renewal of 
 their covenant. During the intervening period of twenty years, 
 there were added to the church by baptism 107, by letter 34, 
 and 5 former members were restored, making a total of 146, 
 which, with the 42 that renewed the covenant in 1829, makes 
 the whole number of members in that period 188; 93 males 
 and 95 females. Twenty-six died during the same period, 27 
 were dismissed to other churches, and 16 were dropped or ex- 
 cluded, leaving 63 nominal members. Some had removed to 
 other places without taking a formal letter of dismissal. 
 
 A certain Rev. Mr. McGregory began duty as a colleague 
 of Rev. Mr. Willard in 1829, and was the fourth minister. We 
 have not found the date of the termination of his ministry. 
 His name does not appear among the church members. 
 
 Rev. Clark Sibley began preaching here before 1831, but 
 the records are silent as to the time when he began. In April, 
 1831, the church voted to send for a council to ordain him, and 
 he was ordained, June 2, 1831, as a colleague of Mr. Willard, 
 and the fifth minister of the church. 
 
 Rev. Harrison W. Strong was the sixth minister of the 
 church, and the third colleague of Mr. Willard. There is no 
 further record respecting him. We do not know when his serv- 
 ice began nor when it terminated. He was settled in New 
 Ipswich in 1843. 
 
 Rev. James P. Appleton was received into the church and 
 ordained, February 23, 1839, as the seventh minister of the 
 church, and fourth colleague of the venerable Mr. Willard. 
 Mr. Willard died shortly after, August 19, 1839. Mr. Apple- 
 ton closed his pastorate. May 1, 1840. 
 
 The desk was supplied for a few months by Rev. D. P. 
 French, the eighth minister. 
 
 Rev. Henry Tonkin began duty, February 27, 1842, as the 
 ninth pastor, and was dismissed, March 29, 1843. 
 
 Mr. E. D. Farr, a New Hampton student, tenth minister, 
 supplied the desk a year from the middle of 1843. 
 
 Mr. Milton W. Ball, another student, supplied the 
 desk, as eleventh minister, for a year from the middle of 
 1844. 
 
 Rev. Warren Cooper came from Winchendon, Mass., in 
 August, 1845, and remained until 1848. He was the twelfth 
 minister. 
 
336 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Rev. Charles Cummings succeeded Mr. Cooper in 1848. 
 He labored with much efficiency to build up the church. The 
 church voted, December 15, 1849, to reorganize, with a view 
 to the enjoyment of a closer walk with each other, and with 
 their Lord and Master, but the initiatory steps for this measure 
 were scarcely taken before their beloved pastor was suddenly 
 taken from the service of the church below to join in the more 
 exalted service of that above. He died, December 27, 1849. 
 The sudden bereavement seemed to the smitten flock like a 
 personal affliction and probably quickened their movements 
 in reorganizing the church on a plan he suggested as more 
 efficient in promoting their spiritual enjoyment and growth in 
 grace. Sixty members of the church, twenty-five males and 
 thirty-five females, renewed their covenant engagements at 
 the commencement of the year 1850. When the former history 
 of Dublin was written, in 1852, there had been, to June of that 
 year, five additions by letter and one by baptism, making a 
 total of sixty-six members. Twelve of these had been dismissed 
 to other churches, six had died, and several had removed to 
 other places without taking formal letters of dismission. Mr. 
 Cummings was the thirteenth pastor. He was a very efficient 
 and energetic church worker and much was expected of his 
 labors. Some, whose thoughts were swayed by superstition, 
 suspected that their fond hopes were dashed because he was the 
 fatal "thirteenth" minister of the church. 
 
 Rev. Henry Archibald came to the church about the first 
 of August, 1850, and was given a letter to the Baptist Church 
 in Guilford, Vt., on June 27, 1852. He was the fourteenth 
 minister. 
 
 The fifteenth pastor was Rev. Lyman Culver, who began 
 his labors about the first of July, 1852. He remained three 
 years, but there is no official record of the termination of his 
 ministry. He came here from Gilmanton. 
 
 Rev. T. P. Briggs, the sixteenth minister, began duty in the 
 autumn of 1855 and remained six months. 
 
 Rev. William Wallace Lovejoy, who was born in Camp- 
 ton, August 27, 1810; a graduate of Dartmouth College, A.B., 
 1820 ; was the seventeenth pastor. He had been settled at Brook- 
 field, Vt.; was ordained, 1840, at Littleton, N. H. In this state, 
 he had preached in Littleton, Campton, Antrim, Bennington, 
 Marlow, Sullivan, and Gilsum. He began duty in Dublin the 
 first of May, 1856, and continued with the church until his 
 death, which occurred, April 4, 1862. He was an able preacher. 
 
LATER CHURCHES 337 
 
 an ideal pastor, and an exemplary citizen, and was greatly 
 respected. 
 
 Rev. John Hunt, the eighteenth pastor, began duty with 
 this church about the first of November, 1862. He re- 
 mained until the close of the year 1866, and preached occa- 
 sionally in the earlier part of 1867. 
 
 Rev. G. S. Smith, the nineteenth minister, began his labors 
 with this church about the first of March, 1869, and closed his 
 pastorate, February 23, 1873. 
 
 The twentieth pastor, Rev. Charles Newhall, commenced 
 his labors the first of May, 1873, and remained until the first 
 of January, 1878. 
 
 The twenty-first pastor. Rev. J. W. Merrill, came about 
 the first of September, 1878, and remained with the society 
 until the first of February, 1880. 
 
 The twenty-second pastor. Rev. J. P. Chapin, began his 
 service about the first of January, 1881, and closed the same on 
 the first of May, 1884. 
 
 The twenty-third pastor, Rev. Charles Newhall, who 
 came for a second period of service, commenced his labors about 
 the first of May, 1885, and remained until the first of January, 
 1888. 
 
 The twenty-fourth pastor, Rev. James S. Cranston, served 
 from the first of January, 1889, until June 26, 1892. 
 
 The twenty-fifth pastor. Rev. L. F. Shepardson, served 
 from the first of August, 1892, until March 29, 1896. 
 
 The twenty-sixth pastor. Rev. John F. Blacklock, began 
 duty, the first of July, 1896, and remained three years. 
 
 The twenty-seventh pastor. Rev. D. L. Wentworth, served 
 from the first of August, 1899, until the first of October, 1900. 
 
 The twenty-eighth pastor, Rev. James J. Walworth, was a 
 highly educated and accomplished man. He engaged in this 
 service in the country principally for the benefit of his health. 
 He served the parish for two full years, from the first of May, 
 1902. 
 
 The twenty-ninth pastor. Rev. W. W. Gushee, remained a 
 little more than a year and a half, from about the first of No- 
 vember, 1904, until the first of August, 1906. 
 
 The thirtieth pastor. Rev. J. K. Miller, was in every re- 
 spect an ideal pastor. He was a genial man, who entered most 
 sympathetically into the life-work of his people. He kept posted 
 with respect to all matters that a pastor should know. He was 
 beloved by the younger element, whose spiritual interests 
 
338 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 were ever of vital concern to him. He belonged to social organi- 
 zations and was widely acquainted throughout the county. He 
 served the parish a little more than five years, from the first of 
 May, 1907, to the first of June, 1912. 
 
 The thirty-first pastor, and the last as we go to press, was 
 Rev. George E. Grouse, who began duty on the first of July, 
 1912, and preached his last sermon on the third Sunday in 
 February, 1916. He also supplied the pulpit of the Gongrega- 
 tional society in Harrisville. 
 
 The first meetinghouse for the use of this society was built 
 in the year 1797. It was built in the usual style of church 
 architecture at that time. The main building was thirty feet 
 by forty on the ground, with a porch at each end. It was built 
 near the east end of lot 20, range 9, on the old hill road 
 through Pottersville. It was then quite customary to locate 
 meetinghouses on hills. In 1830, the porches were removed 
 and the house was repaired. In 1840, the building was removed 
 to its second location, which was on lot 21, range 9, in the 
 north-east corner formed by the junction of the old road 
 through the village of Pottersville with the later road leading 
 to the present Ghesham station. In 1867, the building was 
 again moved to its third and present location, a few rods west 
 of the second location, on the north side of the main street, a 
 schoolhouse being situated between the meetinghouse and the 
 junction of the roads just mentioned. About two years were 
 spent in remodelling the edifice, and it was again dedicated, 
 January 14, 1869. It was again repaired and remodelled in 
 1910, at an expense of over two thousand dollars. It is now a 
 very attractive place of worship. 
 
 The present membership of the church is forty-one. We are 
 indebted to Mr. Alfred W. Seaver for most of the facts respect- 
 ing the later pastors of the church. The records are defective. 
 The meetinghouse of this society has been in Harrisville since 
 the division of Dublin in 1870. 
 
 Methodist Episcopal Ghurch 
 
 There had been a few Methodists in the north-west part of 
 the town from an early date. They classed themselves with 
 members of the same persuasion in Marlborough, and formed 
 part of a circuit, holding their meetings for many years in pri- 
 vate dwellings. In 1842, they erected a meetinghouse in Dub- 
 lin, west of the site of P. W. Russell's mill in Pottersville, in 
 
LATER CHURCHES 339 
 
 the south-west corner formed by the junction of the old road 
 over the hill and the new road to Marlborough. 
 
 Several of the persons who preached occasionally in this 
 circuit in its early days became, in after years, distinguished 
 and eminent men. We find among the number the eccentric 
 Lorenzo Dow, whom Abel Stevens, LL.D., in his History of 
 the Methodist Episcopal Church, calls a "right-hearted but 
 wrong-headed man," who "labored like a Hercules, did some 
 good, and had an energy of character which, with sounder 
 faculties, would have rendered him as eminent as he was noted." 
 We also find among the early preachers one then unknown to 
 fame, who was afterwards Bishop Hedding. Martin Renter 
 also preached in this circuit in the olden time. He became a 
 bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church South. 
 
 The clergymen who were assigned to this circuit during the 
 time that this Methodist meetinghouse stood in Dublin were 
 the following : — 
 
 1. John Smith, 1842 8. Ira Carter, 1850-51 
 
 2. Samuel S. Dudley, 1843-4 9. John G. Johnson, 1852-3 
 
 3. Lorenzo Draper, 1845 10. G. W. Bryant, 1854-5 
 
 4. Ezra Wardwell, 1846 11. John Clough, 1856-7 
 
 5. O. Watkins, 1847 12. Thomas L. Fowler, 1858- 
 
 6. RuFus Tilton & J. C. Allen, 9-60 
 
 1848 13. Hiram A. Matterson, 
 
 7. J. C. Allen, 1849 1861-2 
 
 The years following the names indicate the dates of their 
 appointments. They were appointed yearly at the spring con- 
 ference, the term of service at each station beginning on the 
 Sunday following the conference. 
 
 The services of this society, between 1842 and 1859, were 
 wholly in this meetinghouse at the west end of Dublin (now 
 Harrisville) . In 1859, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Fowler, 
 an able and energetic preacher, the meetinghouse of the Baptist 
 society in Marlborough village was procured for one half of the 
 services. The Baptist society in that village was waning and 
 was dissolved in 1862, on the twentieth of August. Shortly be- 
 fore this, Mr. Fowler had secured a deed of this Baptist edifice 
 for the Methodists and, from that time, the worship was wholly 
 in that building. The meetinghouse in Dublin, which had been 
 in use twenty years, was soon sold. The continuation of the 
 society is to be found in the Methodist organization at Marl- 
 borough and does not properly pertain to this history. 
 
340 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Second Adventism 
 
 During the years 1842 and 1843, some persons were aroused 
 by that fanatical excitement which was called Millerism, from 
 the name of the famous itinerant preacher who went about the 
 country proclaiming the doctrine of the second coming of 
 Jesus to the earth from the heavens. His statements were based 
 on a literal interpretation of certain passages of the New Tes- 
 tament which represented the thought of persons living in the 
 first and second centuries. Although scientific reasoning puts 
 a ban upon any assumptions of that character, there have not 
 been wanting persons, through all the centuries, who bade de- 
 fiance to science and insisted upon the literal fulfilment of the 
 predictions concerning the second advent of Jesus. Certain 
 times have been set for this reappearance. It is needless to say 
 that such expectations have always been doomed to disap- 
 pointment. The year 1843 had been fixed for such a reappear- 
 ance of Jesus and the end of the world as it now is. In the pre- 
 ceding year, as well as in that year, the Millerites held many 
 meetings, exhorting men to repent and be ready for the impend- 
 ing crisis. Many persons became insane as a result of the ex- 
 citement. In an intelligent community like Dublin, it was not 
 so easy to secure converts to such a doctrine. The inhabitants 
 of this town, as a rule, were not persons who would readily 
 become victims of such a delusion. A few meetings were held 
 in the Baptist meetinghouse, but the excitement soon subsided 
 and it is not known that there were any permanent adherents 
 to the Second Advent doctrines in any part of the town. 
 
 MORMONISM 
 
 About the year 1844, there was a considerable demonstra- 
 tion in the interest of Mormonism in Peterborough. The 
 famous Elder Brigham Young and the less famous Elder Orson 
 Pratt were there earnestly exhorting their hearers to espouse 
 their views and go to join the colony of the "Latter Day 
 Saints." During this excitement in Peterborough, several 
 young men from that town and other places in this part of the 
 state received ordination "under the hands of Elders Brigham 
 Young and Orson Pratt" as preachers and exponents of the 
 Mormon doctrines. As a rule, they were not educated men, 
 and their teaching could have had but little influence among 
 thinking persons. During this excitement, there were several 
 other "elders" in Peterborough besides the two whom we have 
 
LATER CHURCHES 341 
 
 named. One of these, "Elder" McGinn, held two meetings in 
 Dublin, the former in the Town Hall, the second in the First 
 Congregational meetinghouse. His success in making converts 
 to the Mormon cause was said to have been very small. 
 
 Harrisville Congregational Church 
 
 A Congregational church was organized at Harrisville, Sep- 
 tember 22, 1840. The society built a brick meetinghouse which 
 was located a few feet north of the line that then divided Dub- 
 lin from Nelson. The great majority of the parishioners were 
 Dublin persons, and the church should receive a brief notice 
 in this work. The succession of pastors has been the following: — 
 
 1. Otis C. Whiton, August 11, 1842, to October 17, 1845, date 
 
 of his death 
 
 2. Jeremiah Pomeroy, 1846 to 1850 
 
 3. Daniel H. Babcock, 1850 to 1851 
 
 4. William G. Tuttle, April 16, 1851, to August 22, 1860 
 
 5. Lyman Marshall, April, 1864, to April, 1866 
 
 6. Charles M. Palmer, December 8, 1868, to March 30, 
 
 1871 
 
 7. Amos Holbrook, November, 1871, to November, 1875 
 
 8. H. W. L. Thurston, 1877 to 1878 
 
 9. George A. Beckwith, 1879 to 1880 
 
 10. George H. Dunlap, 1881 to 1885 
 
 11. Benjamin A. Dixon, 1886 to 1887 
 
 12. Charles F. Goldsmith, 1888 to 1890 
 
 13. Millard F. Hardy, 1891 to 1892 
 
 14. William Schofield, 1893 to 1896 
 
 15. Amasa C. Fay, 1897 to 1899 
 
 16. William L. B. Collins, 1901 
 
 17. Leonard B. Tenney, March 30, 1902, to October 16, 1904 
 
 18. Edward P. Tenney, June 11, 1905, to October 1, 1906 
 
 19. William O. Conrad, October 6, 1907, to October 1, 1908 
 
 20. Henry A. Coolidge, October 1, 1908, to June 6, 1909 
 
 21. E. O. Ham, June 13, 1909, to September 26, 1909 
 
 22. Henry A. Coolidge, October 3, 1909, to July 1, 1910 
 
 23. Philip King, July 1, 1910, to October 1, 1910 
 
 24. Henry A. Coolidge, October 1, 1910, to July 1, 1911 
 
 25. George E. Corey of Boston, July 1, 1911, to September 17, 
 
 1911 
 
 26. Flora S. Slocum (supply), October 22, to November 24, 
 
 1912 
 
 27. George E. Crouse (Bap., of Chesham), December 1, 1913, 
 
 to February 20, 1916 
 
342 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Several of these preachers, especially the later ones, supplied 
 other churches while doing duty in Harrisville. The most of 
 the later supplies resided elsewhere. Mr, Coohdge resided in 
 Dublin, Mr. Conrad in Nelson, and Mr. Grouse in Chesham. 
 Messrs. Ham, King, and Corey were students who supplied in 
 the summer months. Harrisville became a separate town in 
 1870. We continued the list of pastors to the present time for 
 completeness. 
 
 McKiNLEY Memorial Meeting 
 
 It is fitting to close this history of the Dublin churches with 
 the account of a service in which all the pastors then settled in 
 Dublin participated, including the priest who was ministering 
 to the Roman Catholics of the town. The only church not rep- 
 resented was the Trinitarian Congregational, which was with- 
 out a settled pastor. The service was held to observe the day 
 set apart for the funeral of President William McKinley. 
 The meeting was called by the selectmen of the town and the 
 exercises were held in the Town Hall, on Thursday, September 
 19, 1901, at two o'clock, p.m. 
 
 The chairman of the board of selectmen, Mr. Clifford 
 GowiNG, presided, and with him were the other members of the 
 board, Mr. John H. Mason and Mr. Fred. A. Pierce. 
 
 The following was the order of the proceedings : — 
 
 Hymn. "Nearer, my God, to Thee." 
 
 Scripture Reading. The Rev. Franklin K. Gifford, Unita- 
 rian Church, Dublin. 
 
 HT/mn. " Lead, Kindly Light." 
 
 Prayer. The Rev. E. J. Furlong, St. Peter's Church, East 
 Jaffrey, who was then saying mass on Sunday mornings 
 for the Roman Catholics of Dublin. 
 
 Hymn. "Abide with me." 
 
 Address. The Rev. Reuben Kidner, Emmanuel Church, 
 Dublin. 
 
 Hymn. "America." 
 
 Benediction. The Rev. Franklin K. Gifford. 
 
 The choir was composed of the following persons : — 
 
 Mrs. William W. Andrew, Soprano 
 
 Mrs. Charles W. Leffingwell, Alio 
 
 Mr. W. W. Shay, Tenor 
 
 Mr. W. B. Kirk, Bass 
 
 Mrs. Clifford Gowing, Pianist 
 
LATER CHURCHES 343 
 
 This was probably a unique service, in that it was, so far as 
 known, the only function of the kind in which all clergymen 
 supplying local pulpits, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, 
 participated. The address delivered by Mr. Kidner was pub- 
 lished. 
 
CHAPTER IX 
 
 Cemeteries 
 The Old Cemetery at Dublin 
 
 1 HE ancient cemetery near the village of Dublin has been used 
 for the burial of the dead from the first settlement of the town. 
 In the former History of Dublin, we are informed that the 
 Burial-field or Graveyard was not enclosed for many years after 
 the settlement of the town. By a vote of the town, a substantial 
 stone wall was built around it. After the new road was made 
 south of the graveyard, the entrance to it was changed from the 
 north side to the south-west corner. A tomb was prepared, by 
 a vote and at the expense of the town, near the new entrance. 
 It was designed and is used for a place of deposit for the dead in 
 the winter. The bodies are taken out and interred in the 
 spring. The burying-ground has been enlarged by extending 
 it to the new road on the west end, and by a piece of land on the 
 south side of the same. In May, 1840, a number of persons as- 
 sembled, as previously agreed upon, bringing various kinds of 
 trees, in setting out which they spent the afternoon. The whole 
 of the ground was not ornamented with trees for want of time. 
 The native growth of trees is left standing at the west end, and 
 spots for new graves are mostly selected in that part of the 
 field. 
 
 The ancient entrance, opposite the old first meetinghouse site, 
 which is quite narrow, still remains, and another was provided, 
 on the north side, in the western extension. 
 
 The tomb is now seldom used. The entrance is so small that 
 some of the modern casket-boxes could not be passed through 
 it. There is likewise a growing disposition to avoid a second 
 scene of sadness at the interment. As a rule, at the present time, 
 graves are dug in mid-winter, although there are many incon- 
 veniences attending a burial at such a time, especially if the 
 snow be deep or the temperature very low. 
 
 We here present a copy of the inscriptions in this ancient 
 cemetery, which were taken from the headstones and monu- 
 ments by Mrs. Rufus P. Pierce and Mrs. Charles R. Fiske, with 
 some later inscriptions taken by Milton D. Mason, Esq. 
 
CEMETERIES

 The inscriptions are here arranged in the alphabetical order 
 of families, and those of the same family name, in the alpha- 
 betical order of the heads of families. 
 
 A dagger, f, is placed before the notices of a few recent deaths 
 of persons at whose graves headstones had not been placed 
 when these pages went to the press. 
 
 Short space lines separate individual inscriptions. Long 
 space lines divide family groups.

 The once loved form, now cold and dead. 
 
 Each mournful thought employs; 
 
 And nature weeps, her comfort fled. 
 
 And withered all her joys. 
 
 But cease, fond nature, cease thy tears; 
 
 Religion points on high; 
 
 There everlasting spring appears. 
 
 And joys that cannot die. 
 
 Must friends and kindred droop and die; 
 
 Must helpers be withdrawn. 
 
 While sorrow, with a weeping eye. 
 
 Records our comfort gone. 
 
 Be thou our comfort, mighty God, 
 
 Our helper and our friend. 
 
 Nor leave us in this toilsome world 
 
 Till all our trials end.

 Memento Mori. 
 
 In the memory of the 
 
 REV. EDWARD SPRAGUE, A.M. 
 
 the second Pastor of the Church in Dublin, who for more 
 than 40 years preached the word of God and broke the 
 bread of life to this christian Society. He entered on the 
 stage of Publick action, at the commencement of the late glo- 
 rious Revolution, of which he was a zealous advocate, 
 fully imbibing its Spirit, and remaining through life 
 the friend of liberty civil and religious, he feared 
 God above many from his youth, sincerely devoted 
 himself to his service, in the Gospel of his Son, and uni- 
 ted orthodoxy with charity. Possessing a large estate, 
 
 his regard 
 for the town in which he lived, prompted him, 
 after making a few legacies to particular friends, 
 to bequeath them the remainder of his property for the 
 pious and laudable purpose of supporting the Gospel 
 & schools. Having been in private life cheerful and 
 courteous, a lover of good men, and given to hospital- 
 ity, having in the discharge of ministerial duty 
 been assiduous, solemn, faithfull; at length laden 
 with accumulated infirmities, and hastened by a 
 fatal occurrence, he languished a few days, and then 
 calmly fell asleep in a firm belief of that Gcspel he 
 preached to others. 
 
 Let fainting nature sink to rest. 
 
 Within its clay-cold bed. 
 
 Till tcith refulgent glory drest. 
 
 It wakens from the dead: 
 What though the body in the dust be laid. 
 Breathless and mouldering in auful shade! 
 Faith views a bright reversion in the skies. 
 When all the saints, reanimated, rise.

 [In the 'former History of Dublin, in the chapter on ecclesiastical history, 
 which we have followed in a previous chapter, the spelling and punctuation of these 
 inscriptions were modified to suit modern usage.] 
 
 [The translation of the Latin portion of the preceding inscription is as follows: 
 "Born in Boston, May 20, 1750, received the degree of Bachelor of Arts at Cam- 
 bridge (Harvard), 1770; that of Master, 1773. Ordained to the pastoral office, Oct. 
 12, f777. Died, Dec. 16, 1817, in the 68th year of his age." The date of the ordina- 
 tion, Oct. 12, 1777, is erroneous. It should have been inscribed Nov. 12, 1777. This 
 inscription and the following were written by Rev. Elijah Dunbar of Peterborough.] 
 
 Beneath this stone, lies the mortal part of 
 
 MRS. HANNAH SPRAGUE, 
 
 consort of the 
 
 REV. EDWARD SPRAGUE 
 
 who died July 10, 1818, aged 80 yrs. 
 
 In the several spheres of a wife, a neighbor, 
 a Christian, and partner in the ministerial 
 relation, she moved ^v^th dignity and use- 
 fulness, & sacred esteem. The religion of 
 Jesus was the choice, & ornament of 
 her youth, the guide and support of 
 her riper years; & the refuge, & solace of her decli- 
 ning age. While her hopes of Salvation res- 
 ted entirely on the unmerited grace of God 
 in Christ; she had no confidence in any 
 faith but that, which works by love. Her benev- 
 olence, ever active, met the needy at the door, 
 and the poor she never sent empty away. 
 She was the faithful Almoner of the goods 
 entrusted her by providence 
 and it could 
 be truly said of her, that she fed the 
 hungry, clothed the naked, visited the sick, 
 and entertained the stranger. The cause of Zion 
 lay near her heart in life, 
 and was not forgotten in her death. 
 That her property might aid this cause, when she 
 sleeps in dust, she bequeathed the princi-

 pal part of her estate to the N. H. Mis- 
 sionary Society. Reader, If thou hast 
 
 wealth, 
 influence, piety, learn the art of employing 
 thy talents, in doing good, and thou shalt 
 never want a surving friend to write, over thy grave: 
 
 "The memory of the just is blessed"; 
 
 nor a smiling Savior, in the Great day, to 
 hail thee with: 
 
 Well done, thou good and faithful 
 servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.

 The inscriptions here recorded, including the names upon 
 the iron markers, provided by the town, mark 1116 graves. To 
 these monumental inscriptions we have appended the names 
 (with a dagger f prefixed to each) of persons who have recently 
 died, at whose graves headstones had not been set as these pages 
 went to press. There are twenty of these which have come to 
 our notice, making, in all, 1136 graves identified. There are 
 probably two or three hundred graves in the cemetery which 
 have never been marked. Some of these can probably be iden- 
 tified, as they would be in the same burial lots as those of other 
 members of the same families. There are a few families whose 
 
440 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 burial lots cannot be discovered, as no markers indicate where 
 any of their bodies were buried. The erection of such memorials 
 is a sacred duty which ought not to be neglected. The graves of 
 young infants have been too frequently unmarked. In olden 
 times, the reprehensible custom prevailed to some extent of 
 burying young children on the farms of their parents, as if 
 they were of too little account to be buried with any ceremony. 
 Burials on farms are always inadvisable, because, in our coun- 
 try, especially, farms change owners so frequently that such 
 private burial lots would become neglected. 
 
 This cemetery is the only one which was ever located within 
 the limits of Dublin, excepting the Derby and Symonds family 
 burial lots, of which we take note in the following notice of the 
 Chesham cemetery. Since the new town of Harrisville was 
 formed, a cemetery has been established near Chesham station. 
 The cemetery at the village of Harrisville, before the incor- 
 poration of that town, was just north of the town line, in 
 Nelson. There is a cemetery in the north-east corner of 
 Marlborough, in which were buried the bodies of certain 
 persons who had lived in the north-west part of what was 
 then Dublin. 
 
 As readers who look through these inscriptions, searching for 
 those of former Dublin acquaintances, might have in mind the 
 names of certain old residents whose bodies were buried in one 
 or another of these cemeteries, we have deemed it best to sup- 
 plement these inscriptions from the old Dublin cemetery with 
 a few abridged inscriptions from the headstones at the graves 
 of a few old residents which we have found in other cemeteries. 
 We cannot claim that the list is complete. It comprises those 
 which we have chanced to observe in our visits to these cem- 
 eteries.

 Chesham Cemetery 
 
 In the cemetery near the station at Chesham are buried the 
 bodies of certain persons who lived in Dublin before the northern 
 part of that town was included in Harrisville, and of others 
 directly connected with families who were then living in Dub- 
 lin. The families of Sherman Derby and Sylvester T. Symonds 
 had private cemeteries on their estates. Each contained the 
 bodies of several persons who died before Harrisville was in- 
 corporated. Those bodies have all been transferred to the Ches- 
 ham cemetery, which was established after Harrisville became 
 a town. The following inscriptions, probably not a complete 
 list, will be of interest to those readers who were acquainted 
 with the old families in this part of the original town of Dublin. 
 In two or three cases, headstones had not been set, but were 
 expected to be in place soon. The following are the inscriptions 
 which we copied on a visit to this cemetery:

 Harrisville Cemetery 
 
 The cemetery in the village of Harrisville was set apart for 
 that purpose before the incorporation of that town. There had 
 been a few burials there of the bodies of persons who had been 
 Dublin residents before the latter town was divided. The per- 
 sons whose graves are here noted either lived in Dublin or were 
 connected with families which had prominent business interests 
 in that town. The list is doubtless incomplete. The writer was 
 aided in his search by Mr. Herman D. Thayer of Harrisville.

 A few families who lived in the north-east part of what was 
 formerly Dublin had burial lots in Hancock. Among them were 
 the lots of Moses Eaton, Jr., Luther P. Eaton, and the John 
 and Gilman Gilchrest famihes, and possibly others. 
 
CHAPTER X 
 
 Population. Statistics 
 
 i\ CENSUS of the inhabitants of New Hampshire was taken 
 in 1775. The population of DubHn at that time was 305. 
 Among papers left by Deacon Eli Morse, there is one contain- 
 ing the particulars of the census in question. Unfortunately a 
 part of it is torn off; but enough is preserved to show that 
 there were then forty-eight families in Dublin, in which were 
 forty-six married females, and sixty-nine unmarried. The 
 number of males, therefore, must have been 190.^ So far as 
 appears, only one man, Thomas Morse, was over sixty years 
 of age. Against the name of Gardner Towne is the follow- 
 ing record: "slave, one." The slave's name was Caesar Free- 
 man. Some of his descendants have been town paupers. 
 Mr. Towne gave Caesar his freedom on the day that he was 
 twenty-one years of age, July 8, 1790. 
 
 The population of Dublin at different periods, as taken by the 
 United States, was, in 1790, 901; in 1800, 1188; in 1810, 1184; 
 in 1820, 1260; in 1830, 1218; in 1840, 1075; in 1850, 1088; 
 in 1860, 1096; in 1870, 930; in 1880, 455 (the large diminu- 
 tion being due to the loss of the northern three ranges of lots, 
 which were included in the newly incorporated town of Har- 
 risville); in 1890, 582; in 1900, 620; in 1910, 571. The popu- 
 lation of 1820 was put down in the "New Hampshire Annual 
 Register" as 1620, instead of 1260, transposing the middle two 
 figures inadvertently; and the statement so continued for 
 many years. 
 
 The census of the United States has been taken in the 
 month of June. In January of the years 1840, 1845, and 1850, 
 the minister of the First Society (Dr. Leonard), aided by a 
 person in each school district, took a census; and the classi- 
 fication was according to ages, — children under one year old 
 making the first class; those from one year to five years old, 
 the second; and then a class for every five years. We here give 
 a summary of the population as thus enumerated : — 
 
 1 The former history of the town puts the number of males at 189, but there were 
 46 plus 69 females, or 115 in all; and 115 from 305 leaves 190. There would be 189 
 exclusive of Mr. Towne's slave.

 UNITED STATES CENSUS OF DUBLIN FOR 1850 
 
 Taken from an authenticated copy, deposited in the office of the 
 clerk of the courts in Cheshire County, and arranged alpha- 
 betically. 
 
 [This record is of great value to genealogists, besides being of the greatest interest to 
 those who love to recall the Dublin of 1850, or who would be pleased to know who lived 
 in town at that time. It is reproduced from the former history. A name known to 
 have been accidentally omitted in the former history is marked with a dagger, t- 
 The families are arranged alphabetically, but persons temporarily living in any fam- 
 ily are here, as in the former history, inserted below the family names, and a little to 
 the right, thus showing who were living under the same roof.]

 We have not been able to procure an authenticated copy of 
 the last census, taken in 1910. On the incorporation of Har- 
 risville, which deprived Dublin of the northern three ranges of 
 lots, the population was materially diminished. In the census 
 of 1910, it was 571. The former industries and manufactures 
 of Dublin were principally in Harrisville and Pottersville. 
 There were a few shoemakers in the part of the town that still 
 remains in Dublin, who did considerable business, but that in- 
 dustry long since became a thing of the past. At present, the 
 only permanent industries are a lumber-mill and an electric- 
 light plant. There are seven carpenters, one blacksmith in 
 active business, three painters, two jobbers and teamsters, 
 and three livery stables. There are two post-offices in town 
 (Dublin and Monadnock), three public telephones, two justices 
 of the peace, two insurance agents, two real-estate agents (who 
 also attend to summer rentals), two notaries public, two gen- 
 eral stores, one hotel (open in the summer only), and a good 
 public library, which is open on certain days of the week. The

 barges, which convey passengers, baggage, express, and 
 freight, between Harrisville railroad station and any point 
 in Dublin. Except in the winter months, they take Dublin 
 passengers to or from every train arriving at Harrisville. In 
 the winter, the trips are less frequent, but, for special rates, 
 the company will accommodate passengers for any train. 
 
 There are four churches in Dublin, the First Congrega- 
 tional (Unitarian) Church, J. L. Seward, D.D., pastor; the 
 Trinitarian Congregational Church, Rev. Harry A. G. Abbe, 
 pastor; Emmanuel (Protestant Episcopal) Church, Rev. 
 Reuben Kidner, pastor, open only in the summer; and the 
 Church of Our Lady of the Snows, Roman Catholic, Rev. 
 Daniel J. Cotter of Harrisville, pastor, open only in the sum- 
 mer months. 
 
 There is one physician in Dublin (1916), A. H. Chilos, M.D. 
 Aside from the societies connected with the churches, there 
 is one secular society, in a flourishing condition at present, 
 Monadnock Grange, Patrons of Husbandry. Ladies of the 
 town, without regard to their connections with other organi- 
 zations, did much in 1914 and 1915, and during the great 
 European war, in the way of making garments and articles 
 for the benefit and relief of the sufferers, particularly in Bel- 
 gium. In proportion to the population, Dublin was reported 
 to be the banner town in the whole country in the amount done 
 for this cause. 
 
 As a basis of comparison of the conditions existing in 1850 
 with those of the present time, showing the decline in agricul- 
 ture in the town, since the incoming of summer residents on a 
 large scale, the changes in the values of real estate, and the 
 changes in the forms and character and values of personal 
 belongings, we introduce a summary of the inventory of 1910: — 
 
 142 polls.

CHAPTER XI 
 Political and Municipal History 
 
 1 HE town records, for many years after Dublin was incor- 
 porated, were very brief. Even during the period of the Revo- 
 lution, the records of political actions are few. After the 
 Declaration of Independence, a provisional state government 
 was formed; and, by the record of a vote passed, January 22, 
 1778, it appears that the articles of confederation and perpetual 
 union of the United States were brought before a meeting of 
 the inhabitants for their consideration. The said record is as 
 follows : — 
 
 "After reading the articles of confederation, adjourned to the 
 house of Mr. Sprague : — then 
 
 "Voted to accept of the articles of confederation and perpetual 
 union, except the 8th article; and that the alteration in that article 
 be, that all personal estate be taxed by the United States as well as 
 real estate. 
 
 "Voted that the representative of this town should use his in- 
 fluence that there be a full and free representation convened to lay 
 a lasting plan of government for this State." 
 
 It is highly probable that the foregoing vote was passed at 
 the suggestion of the Rev. Mr. Sprague, who, most likely, w as 
 responsible for its phraseology. 
 
 The convention to which allusion was made in the above 
 vote assembled at Concord, June 10, 1778. The author of the 
 former History of Dublin observed that the records did not 
 show who was the representative from Dublin. The records 
 of that constitutional convention reveal the fact that Dublin 
 was classed with Marlborough, Stoddard, and Packersfield, 
 and that no one was chosen to represent them. From the fol- 
 lowing record of a town-meeting, held July 19, 1779, it appe ars 
 that the convention prepared and sent abroad a system of 
 government. 
 
 "The Declaration of Rights and Plan of Government being read, 
 voted to adjourn to the first Tuesday in September next, at nine 
 o'clock in the morning." 
 
466 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 "Tuesday, Sept. 7, 9 o'clock. — Met on adjournment. The 
 Moderator took his seat. The Declaration of Rights and Plan of 
 Government being read and debated, the question being put for 
 receiving the same, it passed in the negative; fifteen against it, seven 
 for it." 
 
 It was rejected by a majority of votes in the State. Another 
 convention was appointed, and met in June, 1781. Before 
 proposing a plan of government that was wholly accepted, it 
 held nine sessions, and did not close till October, 1783. At a 
 town-meeting, "March 26, 1782, Amos Emery and Reuben 
 Morse were chosen to go to the convention for forming a plan 
 of government." A plan was passed, printed, and sent to 
 every town, previous to March, 1782. The people were de- 
 sired to state their objections, and return them. There is no 
 record in the town's book of any vote upon the plan sent out. 
 A manuscript, however, has been found among those preserved 
 by the several town-clerks, by which it would seem that 
 Dublin did not neglect to consider the said plan; for one ar- 
 ticle in the warrant for the above-named meeting was, "To 
 see if the town will make a return of their approbation or dis- 
 approbation of the plan of government." It is not probable 
 that they sent two members to the convention without fur- 
 nishing them with some instructions. The only difficulty con- 
 cerning the manuscript is the date, it being March 25th, in- 
 stead of March 26th. This may have been an error in copying; 
 for it is not in the handwriting of Joseph Greenwood, the 
 town-clerk at that time. As it was a lengthy document, the 
 delegates would be likely to be furnished with the original, and 
 a copy taken for preservation at home. We give the docu- 
 ment as interesting, if not authentic : — 
 
 "At the annual Town Meeting, March 25th, 1782, — An Article 
 being inserted in the Warrant to Act upon the proposed Constitu- 
 tion of Government, Voted that the following Alterations should be 
 made : — 
 
 "1st. The 17th Article of the Bill of Rights provides, 'That, in 
 criminal prosecutions, the trial of Facts in the Vicinity where they 
 happen is so essential to the Security of the Life, Liberty, and Estate 
 of the Citizen, that no Crime or offence ought to be tried in any 
 other County than where it is committed.' This Town thinks it 
 would be proper to add, unless in cases of necessity, where the gen- 
 eral Court shall judge it proper to make a particular Act to the con- 
 trary. And for this Reason, that such may be the particular circum- 
 stances of some particular County, by Reason of Disaffection, that 
 
POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 467 
 
 it may be impossible to convict offenders and bring them to Condign 
 Punishment. 
 
 ''2dly. The 23d Article of the Bill of Rights provides Against all 
 retrospective Laws. But this Town humbly Conceive, That, under 
 some particular Circumstances, they are highly necessary, in par- 
 ticular in publick Convulsions; for it cannot be supposed that, in 
 this imperfect state of things, that Punishments can be affixed to all 
 the Violations of the Law of Nature. 
 
 "With respect to the 6th Article of the Bill of Rights, This Town 
 are Unanimously of the Opinion that it ought to be added, after the 
 second Paragraph, That every Denomination of Christians shall pay 
 their proportion to the Support of Publick Teachers. And every 
 Individual shall pay to the support of that Public Teacher upon 
 whose Instructions he shall choose to stand. 
 
 '^Sdly. In the 30th page of the Constitution, it is provided, 'That 
 no Bill or resolve of Senate or House of Representatives shall become 
 a Law, or have force as such, until it be laid before the Governor for 
 his revisal. And if he, upon revision. Approve thereof, he shall signify 
 his Approbation by signing the same. But, if he has any objection 
 to the passing such Bill or Resolve, he shall return the same, together 
 with his objections thereto, in writing, to the Senate or House of 
 Representatives, in whichsoever the same Originated; who shall 
 enter the Objections, sent down by the Governor, at Large on their 
 Records, and proceed to reconsider sd. Bill or Resolve. But if, upon 
 reconsideration, three Quarters of sd. Senate, or House of Represen- 
 tatives, shall, notwithstanding sd. Objections, Agree to pass the 
 same, it shall, together with the Objection, be sent to the other 
 Branch of the Legislature, where it shall also be reconsidered; and, 
 if Approved by three Quarters of the Members present, it shall have 
 the Force of a Law.' With regard to this Paragraph, this Town are 
 unanimously of the Opinion, that, after a reconsideration of the 
 Bill or resolve as above, if a Major Part of the Members present 
 approve of the same, it ought to have the Force of a Law; and for 
 this reason, that no Bill ought to require more to support it Against 
 Objections than was necessary to form it. It may be presumed that 
 every Reasonable Objection will be offered previously to the passing 
 the Bill. 
 
 "Uhly. In the 33d and 34th page of the Constitution, It is pro- 
 vided that every Male Inhabitant of each Town or Parish with 
 town Privileges, in the several Counties in this State, of twenty-one 
 years of Age and Upwards, having a freehold Estate in his own 
 Right, of the Value of one Hundred Pounds, situate in this state, or 
 other Estate to that Amount, shall have a Right to vote for Senators. 
 This Town is of the Opinion that forty pounds Estate is sufficient to 
 entitle a man to a Vote for the first Branch of the Legislature; Be- 
 cause the greater Part of this State is in its Minority, and Therefore 
 the freeholds are low in Value. And We think that it is as Reason- 
 
468 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 able that forty pounds should entitle a Man to this Vote as fifty 
 pounds in the Bay State. 
 
 ''Uhly [so numbered in the original]. With respect to the Repre- 
 sentation, this Town Agrees with the proposed Number of fifty at 
 first. And the County of Rockingham for ever to remain at the 
 Number of 20. And the other Counties to begin at their several pro- 
 posed Numbers; and then to increase in their Number of Represen- 
 tatives as their Rateable Poles increase, until their Number advances 
 to 20, and there stop. And the several Representatives to be chosen 
 in the following Manner: — The present general Court to divide the 
 several Counties into Districts, as near as may be, without splitting 
 Towns or Parishes; and the several Districts to choose their Repre- 
 sentatives in one of these ways: 1. Let the several Towtis be noti- 
 fy ed to Meet at the Meeting House in the West To\^ti, the 1st year, 
 and let the Election be preceded with a Sermon or an Oration upon 
 free Government, where a Preacher or an Orator can be provided; 
 and the 2d Year, at the Meeting House in the second West Town; 
 and so on, in Turns. Or, if this is thot. too troublesome, Let every 
 Town, at their Annual Meeting, or at the meeting called to choose a 
 Governor, put in their Votes for A Representative. And the Select 
 Men and Town Clerk of the several Towns in the District, Meet to- 
 gether in some most convenient Place, and sort the Votes of the sev- 
 eral Towns. And if any one is chosen, it is well; if not. Let the four 
 highest that are voted for, if there are so many voted for, if not, as 
 many as there are, and put their Names into a Box, and let one be 
 drawn out. Which Shall be the Person to Represent the District. 
 
 ''5ly. It is provided in the 48th page of the Constitution, 'That 
 all judicial officers, the Attorney-General, Solicitor-General, and all 
 Sheriffs, Coroners, Register of Probate, and other Civil officers, ex- 
 cept such as are otherwise elected and Appointed by this Constitu- 
 tion, or the Laws of the State, and all officers of the Militia and 
 navy, shall be nominated and Appointed by the Governor, by and 
 with the Advice or Consent of the Council.' With respect to these 
 Appointments, this Town are clearly of the Opinion it will greatly 
 Conduce to the Publick Welfare, that many of these officers be 
 Appointed by the general Court such as the Justices of the superior 
 and inferior Court, Sheriffs, Coroners, Registers of Probates, and 
 other Civil Officers; and Major-Generals and Brigadier-Generals in 
 the Militia. Because the General Court is Composed of a Collection 
 of Men from the several Parts of the State, and Therefore must be 
 best Acquainted with the Men qualified for such important Posts 
 and offices. 
 
 "And with respect to Justices of the Peace, this Town judge the 
 Present mode salutary and good, that the Justices be recommended 
 by the Towns where they are Wanted, and Appointed by the Court; 
 for the several Towns must needs know best who among them is 
 qualified to keep the Peace, and Discharge the Duties of a Justice 
 
M.JA^Ji 
 
POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 469 
 
 of the Peace. And with respect to the Officers of the Continental 
 Army this Town is of the Opinion that the Appointment of them 
 should be made by the General Court, for the Reasons just above 
 recited. And with respect to the officers of the Militia, this Town 
 judge it proper, that the soldiers of the companies, with the Men in 
 the alarm List, choose the Captains, Subalterns, and the non-com- 
 mission officers. Because the immediate Design of Military Disci- 
 pline is to teach the soldiers the Art of War; and as Men commonly 
 receive Instruction more readily from Instructors of their own Choos- 
 ing, than from others, so the choosing their own officers, especially 
 those that have the immediate Command and Discipline of the Sol- 
 diers, will not only, in our opinion, tend to promote Peace and Union 
 in the Companies, but also the knowledge of the Art of War. 
 
 "This Town also proposes that the Commissioned officers of the 
 several Companies choose their Field-officers. And when any officer, 
 whether Field, Capt., or Subaltern, is chosen and accepted, he^hall 
 do his duty, and keep up good, strict Discipline; and not be suffered 
 to resign, without Leave from his superior officers. 
 
 "And whereas it is provided in the 50th page of the Constitution, 
 'that no Person shall be eligible as Governor of this State more than 
 three Years in seven.' With respect to this, this Town is Unanimously 
 of the Opinion that this is a great Abridgement of Liberty. That 
 the People of this State have a full and just Right to choose any 
 Man, qualified as prescribed, as many Years successively as they 
 shall judge proper. 
 
 "This Town likewise proposes, that the several Counties in this 
 State be divided into two or More Districts, and that Judges of 
 Probate and Registers of Probate be Appointed for each District. 
 Because this will greatly ease the subject, with respect to the charge 
 of travelling. 
 
 "And, for the same Reason, this Town proposes, that every Town 
 Clerk shall be Register of Deeds in his own Town; and record all 
 Deeds given of Land in his Town. And that the several Towns in 
 this State be directed and required to provide such Clerks as can 
 write a good Legible Hand. And Furthermore, It is provided in the 
 63d page, that no Justice's Commission shall continue for more than 
 five years. This Provision appears to this Town entirely needless; 
 for, if a Justice of the Peace discharges the duties of his office with 
 Ability and Fidelity, there is no Reason why he should not be Con- 
 tinued; and if he does not, let him be impeached and set aside." 
 
 The second plan of government, sent out by the convention, 
 was approved by the people. At a town-meeting in Dublin, 
 March 4, 1783, the decision was, "Voted to accept of the plan 
 of government; twenty-five for the plan, the other six offered 
 no objection." The new plan was not finished till October 31, 
 of that year. It was printed a third time, and declared to be 
 
470 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the Constitution of New Hampshire, June 2, 1784. This 
 Constitution may be found in the copies of the laws of New 
 Hampshire, pubhshed between the years 1784 and 1792. 
 
 With regard to the Federal Constitution, the action, or 
 rather non-action, of the town is described in the Address 
 (see Chapter I). The State Constitution of 1784 was amended, 
 and, as amended, went into operation in June, 1792. A war- 
 rant for a town-meeting, to be held the 7th day of May, has 
 been found, in which is the following article: "To take into 
 consideration the amendments of the Constitution, and to 
 act thereon as they shall see cause, agreeably to the requisi- 
 tions of the convention." The doings of this meeting are not 
 to be found in the town-records, nor is there any notice of the 
 choice of a delegate to attend the convention. 
 
 No convention was called to revise or alter the Constitu- 
 tion of 1792, till 1850. By order of the legislature, the people 
 voted in March upon the question, which was decided in the 
 affirmative. On all previous occasions of taking a vote on 
 this subject, the vote of Dublin had been in the negative; but 
 now it was sixty-nine in favor of, and only seventeen against, 
 calling a convention. The delegate chosen, October 8, was 
 Levi W. Leonard. 
 
 The convention met in November; and, at the annual town- 
 meeting, the March following, fifteen questions, involving 
 alterations and amendments of the Constitution, were sub- 
 mitted to the people. They were all rejected, not one having 
 two-thirds of the votes in its favor. 
 
 The votes upon the several questions in Dublin were as 
 follows. They were decided by polling the house: — 
 
 Quest. 1. Do you approve of the Bill of Rights, as amended by 
 the Convention? Yeas, 91; nays, 8. 
 
 Quest. 2. Do you approve of a House of Representatives to be 
 constituted and chosen, as provided in the amended 
 Constitution.'' Yeas, 90; nays, 21. 
 
 Quest. 3. Do you approve of a Senate to be constituted and 
 chosen, as provided in the amended Constitution? 
 Yeas, 54; nays, 40. 
 
 Quest. 4. Do you approve of the provision adopted by the Con- 
 vention, on the subject of Governor and Lieutenant 
 Governor? Yeas, 72; nays, 20. 
 
 Quest. 5. Do you approve of the biennial elections of Governor, 
 Lieutenant Governor, and Legislature, and biennial 
 sessions of the Legislature, as adopted by the Con- 
 vention? Yeas, 5; nays, 114. 
 
POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 471 
 
 Quest. 6. Do you approve of the amendments proposed by the 
 Convention, in relation to the election and appoint- 
 ment of County Judges, Judges of Probate, and other 
 public officers, and their terms of office? Yeas, 50; 
 nays, 40. 
 
 Quest. 7. Do you approve of the amendments proposed relat- 
 ing to Trial Justices and Courts, and their Jurisdic- 
 tion? Yeas, 96; nays, 12. 
 
 Quest. 8. Do you approve of the abolition of the religious test 
 and property qualifications, as proposed in the 
 amended Constitution? Yeas, 91; nays, 14. 
 
 Quest. 9. Do you approve of the mode of making future amend- 
 ments to the Constitution, as proposed in the amended 
 Constitution? Yeas, 83; nays, 12. 
 
 Quest. 10. Do you approve of the amendment providing that the 
 Judges of the Supreme Court and the Attorney -Oen- 
 eral shall be elected by the people, and the tenure of 
 their office? Yeas, 19; nays, 21. 
 
 Quest. 11. Do you approve of the amendment requiring the elec- 
 tion of a Superintendent of Public Instruction, as 
 provided in the amended Constitution? Yeas, 75; 
 nays, 20. 
 
 Quest. 12. Do you approve of the amendment requiring the elec- 
 tion of a Commissioner of Agriculture, as provided in 
 the amended Constitution? Yeas, 66; nays, 27. 
 
 Quest. 13. Do you approve of the amendment, provided in the 
 amended Constitution, for deciding all elections by a 
 plurality vote? Yeas, 11; nays, 103. 
 
 Quest. 14. Do you approve of the amendment abolishing the 
 Council? Yeas, 89; nays, 11. 
 
 Quest. 15. Do you approve of the other alterations and amend- 
 ments, as made in the amended Constitution? Yeas, 
 69; nays, 8. 
 
 As none of the above articles had two-thirds of the votes 
 east in favor, in the State, the convention proposed the fol- 
 lowing amendments, to be accepted or rejected at the annual 
 town-meeting, March, 1852: 1st, to abolish the property 
 qualification; 2d, to abolish the religious test; 3d, to empower 
 the legislature to originate amendments, and send them out 
 to the people for acceptance or rejection. The first proposition 
 was accepted by a two-thirds vote of the people, and the other 
 two were rejected. The votes of Dublin were: for the first, 
 yeas, 81, nays, 4; for the second, yeas, 70, nays, 14; and for 
 the third, yeas, 75, nays, 4. 
 
 It will be perceived that of the fifteen propositions which 
 
472

 the convention sent forth, there was a two-thirds vote in 
 Dublin for ten. 
 
 Some later amendments to the state Constitution will be 
 noted as we proceed with the following tables of town oflBcers. 
 It would be too tedious to describe them in detail. They be- 
 long more properly to state history.

 Votes for Chief Magistrate 
 
 The chief magistrates of New Hampshire were styled 
 "President" from 1776 to 1793, when, on a revision of the 
 Constitution, the title "Governor" was adopted. Meshech 
 Weare was President from 1776 to 1784, inclusive. During 
 those years, he was chosen by the Council. Elections of the 
 President (afterwards Governor) of New Hampshire by the 
 people began in 1784. The following table shows the vote of

 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 From the small number of votes cast for chief magistrate 
 during many years after a state constitution was adopted, it 
 would appear as if little interest were felt in the election of 
 that oflBcer. In 1793, the whole number of voters must have 
 exceeded two hundred; but the votes for governor were only 
 thirty-two. The number of voters in New Hampshire is larger 
 than the number of ratable polls; for men who are seventy 
 years of age and upwards are legal voters, but are not required 
 to pay a poll-tax. The number of ratable polls in Dublin, as 
 shown by the record of invoice and taxes, was, at different 
 intervals (less frequently in later years), for the years prefixed, 
 as follows : —

 The number of ratable polls in 1869 was the same as the 
 number in 1835. Harrisville was incorporated in 1870, and 
 took away a large proportion of the voters. The number of 
 ratable polls was diminished by considerably more than a 
 hundred. Since the separation of Harrisville, however, the 
 number of ratable polls in that portion of Dublin which was 
 left in the old town has steadily increased, until it had risen, 
 in 1914, to one hundred seventy-two. These voters, however, 
 are not the descendants of the old Dublin stock of inhabitants 
 very largely. The majority of them have come to the town in 
 recent years, many of them as care-takers upon the estates 
 of wealthy summer residents. 
 
 The annual town-meeting in New Hampshire comes at an 
 unfavorable season for the attendance of aged people and 
 persons in feeble health. The largest vote ever cast in Dublin

POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 489 
 
 for governor was in 1838, James Wilson, Jr., and Isaac Hill 
 being candidates. The day was warm and pleasant, and few 
 persons able to leave home were absent. Gen. James Wilson, 
 Jr., was a resident of Keene, and a native of Peterborough, 
 and was one of the most popular men in this section. Isaac 
 Hill won the election. General Wilson told the editor of this 
 revised history of Dublin that his defeat was caused by a 
 trick. He was legally James Wilson, Jr., at that time (his 
 father dying in the following winter). Opponents printed 
 thousands of tickets upon which his name appeared as James 
 Wilson, without the "Jr." These tickets, applying legally to 
 his father and not to the General, gave Mr. Hill the victory. 
 
 Valuation and Taxes 
 
 The valuation of the personal and real estate, taken annually 
 by the selectmen for the purpose of taxation, has varied from 
 time to time; but, for want of necessary documents, the yearly 
 summaries cannot be given. A plan of the east half of the 
 town has been found, containing the selectmen's appraisal of 
 the several lots that were considered as of any value. This 
 plan must have been made as early as 1778. We have found 
 another plan, dated 1798, which contains the appraisal of the 
 whole town. 
 
 We give the valuation of the lots on the fifth and sixth 
 ranges, for both years, beginning at the twelfth lot: —

 A fine state highway, known as the "South-side 
 Boulevard," is being constructed from the Con- 
 necticut River to Portsmouth. Between the 
 Connecticut and Keene, the route is very circui- 
 tous. From Keene, the route is through Marl- 
 borough, Dublin, and Peterborough; thence along 
 the old stage road, over the ridge of Pack Monad- 
 nock, and to Wilton, Milford. and Nashua; thence 
 to Portsmouth. The road will be finely con- 
 structed, and a great help to the towns through 
 which it leads, although they have been heavily 
 taxed for its construction, in addition to the sum 
 appropriated and expended by the state. This 
 road is being constructed as these pages go to the 
 press, and will not be wholly completed for two 
 or three years, or perhaps more. 
 
 The taxes, in 1915, for all purposes, other than 
 schools and highways, amounted approximately 
 to $10,594 
 
 In the amounts raised in 1778, and in the following three 
 years, we perceive the effect of the depreciation of the cur- 
 rency in which the appropriations were at that time reckoned. 
 In after years, the sums are put down in lawful money, till 
 dollars and cents became the usual reckoning. The old tenor 
 currency was used in the early days of the town, of which 
 one hundred pounds were equal to £13 6s. 8d., or forty-five 
 shillings equal to one dollar. 
 
POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 497 
 
 The making of new roads has been a chief source of expense 
 to the town of Dublin. The first roads were made, in most 
 instances, on the lines of lots; and, of course, many expensive 
 alterations have been required in subsequent years. Seldom 
 has there been a town-meeting since the date of incorporation, 
 when roads were not a topic of discussion, and frequently 
 sharp contests have arisen between the advocates and op- 
 ponents of new roads. A full, or even a partial, history of 
 roads in Dublin would require more time and labor than we 
 are able to bestow; and many persons would say, probably, 
 that the value was far below the cost. 
 
 Surplus Revenue 
 
 At a town-meeting, November 1, 1836, it was "voted that 
 the legally qualified voters of Dublin highly approve of- the 
 act of Congress of the last session for distributing the surplus 
 revenue among the several states, and that our representative. 
 Captain Richard Strong, be instructed to use his influence in 
 the state legislature to procure the acceptance by the legisla- 
 ture of the amount which will rightfully belong to this state." 
 At the next session of the legislature, an act was passed pro- 
 viding for the disposition of said revenue; and Richard Strong 
 was chosen in 1847 the agent of Dublin to receive the same, 
 and "loan it to persons in town in sums not exceeding eight 
 hundred dollars, nor less than one hundred dollars, to any 
 one person." 
 
 This surplus revenue was principally derived from the sale 
 of public lands, although the tariff, at the time the distribu- 
 tion bill passed Congress, was more than suflBcient for govern- 
 ment expenses. The unprecedented sale of public lands in the 
 West was due, in part, to a steadily increasing stream of emi- 
 gration from the Eastern States to the West, and, in part, to a 
 feverish speculation that usually follows the placing of desir- 
 able property upon the market. 
 
 This surplus revenue was distributed among the states, ac- 
 cording to the proportion of their representation in Congress. 
 In many states, as in New Hampshire, the amount received 
 was divided among the towns, according to a principle adopted, 
 based upon population. The towns, on receiving their shares, 
 used the money in different forms. Some used it in building 
 highways, some in maintaining schools, some in erecting pub- 
 lic buildings, and some, as Dublin, in loaning it to individuals, 
 at least in part. 
 
498 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Pauperism 
 
 The care of the town's poor, whether supported by the 
 lowest bidder, or placed by the selectmen in such families as 
 were willing to take them for a reasonable compensation, was 
 ever a source of perplexity, and sometimes of dissatisfaction. 
 The selectmen, in New Hampshire, are overseers of the poor 
 ex officio, when no person is specially chosen for the purpose. 
 It is their duty to see that paupers are duly provided for; 
 and, if they deem it expedient, they can remove the poor from 
 one place to another. This was the case when paupers were 
 disposed of by "vending them," as is described in the Address 
 (Chapter I.). But it was difficult to find a suitable place for a 
 whole family; and occasionally a family, when furnished with 
 a habitation, could do much toward their own support. The 
 town, therefore, in 1786, erected a house on lot 10, range 4, 
 and granted to Jabez Puffer and his family the privilege of 
 occupying it. It was called, not the almshouse, but the town- 
 house. It was occupied during many years by John Paine and 
 family. He removed to the state of Maine in 1822, and the 
 land was sold in that year. 
 
 At the annual meeting, 1837, the town "voted to take 
 measures to purchase a farm on which to support the town- 
 paupers." For purchasing said farm, Moses Corey, Richard 
 Strong, and Samuel Derby were chosen a committee; and 
 they bought the farm of Joshua Flint, situated on lot 4, range 
 10. In 1838, "Jonathan K. Smith was chosen overseer of the 
 poor, with power to stock the farm and procure help to carry 
 it on." In 1839, the town "voted that the agent appointed to 
 receive and take charge of the surplus revenue, deposited 
 with this town, be instructed to take so much of said money 
 as will pay for the 'Poor Farm,' and appropriate it for that 
 purpose." The buildings on the farm were repaired, some 
 additions were made, and, by a vote of the town, the alms- 
 house was, in accordance with a law of the state, established 
 as a house of correction; and a portion of it was prepared and 
 appropriated for such a purpose. The town erected a new 
 house upon the farm, about 1858. 
 
 Eventually, this method of caring for the poor was super- 
 seded by the county system. During the sixties, the state 
 passed a law authorizing the counties to purchase farms and 
 erect buildings, to be used for the care of the poor; the inten- 
 tion being that all the paupers in each county should be 
 
POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 499 
 
 maintained upon a common farm. Cheshire County purchased 
 a fine farm in Westmoreland, known as the Sabin farm, situ- 
 ated on the Connecticut River. In 1868, the paupers were all 
 finally removed to this farm. A house of correction was estab- 
 lished in connection with the institution; also provision was 
 made for the care of the insane poor. A building has also 
 been provided for the care of such persons as have the means 
 of paying for their living, but whom no one will consent to 
 board. There are certain persons who can pay for their com- 
 forts, but, for particular reasons, there is no family that will 
 be permanently bothered with them. It was for such persons 
 that the last-named provision was made. There were many 
 who opposed this county system of caring for the poor. It 
 seemed unkind to take aged or dependent persons away from 
 their birthplaces, or the localities in which were all of their 
 friends and associations. Another objection lay in the fact 
 that many persons of good old New England stock, who had 
 unfortunately become dependent, were, under this new ar- 
 rangement, thrown into the company of persons, largely of 
 foreign birth, who were less refined and more or less undesir- 
 able as associates. The dominant reason for resorting to the 
 county system was the economic one. It was presumed to be 
 the cheapest way of caring for the poor. It is a little heartless 
 to use such reasoning in such a case. It is undoubtedly true 
 that the method adopted was more economical, but there are 
 circumstances under which the most economical method 
 might not be consistent with justice and the moral sense. 
 Legality and economy are not always coincident with exact 
 justice and a decent consideration of the feelings of those who 
 are most interested. 
 
 Post-Offices and Mail Stages 
 
 A post-office was established in Dublin in 1813 or 1814, and 
 Cyrus Chamberlain was appointed postmaster. He held the 
 office till 1835, when he removed from town. The route was 
 from Brattleborough, Vt., to Portsmouth, N. H., through 
 Keene, Peterborough, Amherst, and Exeter, a distance of 
 ninety-five miles. The mail was carried each way, once a 
 week, in a one-horse wagon. It was carried many years by 
 Mr. Gibbs and his son Asa Gibbs. The former was killed, by 
 falling with his wagon from a bridge in the village of Peter- 
 borough. Asa Heald succeeded Mr. Chamberlain as post- 
 master, and remained in office till 1849, when Ebenezer Green- 
 
500 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 wood was appointed in his place. Asa Heald was reappointed 
 in 1853. 
 
 A stage with four horses began to run from Brattleborough 
 to Nashua in 1828. The proprietors were George W. Center 
 and I. Newton Cunningham of Peterborough. This stage 
 passed, at first, each way every other day, and carried the 
 mail. It was established afterwards each way every day. 
 This arrangement, however, was not foimd profitable for the 
 department, and was discontinued after two or three years. 
 A stage, afterwards, ran, for many years, between Keene and 
 Peterborough, via Dublin, carrying the mail each way every 
 other day, Peterborough, six miles east from Dublin, had a 
 mail from Boston every day. For many years, a stage passed, 
 with a mail, from Peterborough through Harrisville to Mun- 
 sonville in Nelson, every other day, returning the next day. 
 Charles C. P. Harris was the first postmaster at Harrisville. 
 A post-office in Pottersville was established in 1850. The 
 route, at first, was from Marlborough to Harrisville. Later, 
 the route was from Keene, through Marlborough, to Potters- 
 ville and Harrisville. There has been, for many years, since 
 the discontinuance of the stage line between Keene and Peter- 
 borough, a stage, carrying passengers, mail, and express, run- 
 ning between Dublin and Peterborough. 
 
 Since the completion of the Manchester & Keene R.R., in 
 1879, which is now a part of the Boston & Maine R.R. system, 
 mails for Dublin have been brought on the cars to Harrisville, 
 thence conveyed to Dublin by a stage company which has 
 come to be known as the Dublin Stage Company. It was 
 operated for many j^ears by Francis Stratton and his sons of 
 Harrisville. After the death of the elder Stratton, in 1905, the 
 business passed into the hands of an incorporated company, 
 known as the Dublin Stage Company. The first superinten- 
 dent was George F. Knowlton of Harrisville. In 1914, Almon 
 A. Baldwin, then of Harrisville, became the superintendent. 
 The company handles a large business, carrying passengers, 
 mails, express packages, and freight of all kinds, between any 
 part of Dublin and the railroad station at Harrisville. 
 
 The Dublin postmasters have been Cyrus Chamberlain, 
 appointed in 1813 or 1814; Dr. Asa Heald, appointed in 1835; 
 Ebenezer Greenwood, 1849 to 1853; Dr. Asa Heald, reap- 
 pointed in 1853; George W. Gleason, appointed in 1863, who 
 held the oflBce a quarter of a century, and was succeeded by 
 Milton D. Mason, about 1888, who was succeeded four years 
 
POLITICAL AND MUNICIPAL HISTORY 501 
 
 later by John G. Townsend, who was succeeded, about 1903, 
 by John A. Gleason, who was succeeded, in 1914, by Henry 
 D. AlHson, the present incumbent of the office. 
 
 Charles C. P. Harris, appointed postmaster at Harris ville, 
 about 1853 or 1854, held that office the rest of his life, till 
 1888. He was succeeded by Miss Isabel Hutchinson, who 
 held the position till 1914, when she was succeeded by W. B. 
 McClellan. 
 
 The postmasters at Pottersville have been Aaron Smith, 
 from 1850; Osgood N. Russell, from about 1852; Rev. Lyman 
 Culver, from 1853; Prentiss W. Greenwood, from 1855; J. 
 Fitch, from 1856; Charles J. Smith, from 1864; Mrs. M. A. 
 Atwood, from 1870; H. W. Smith, from 1874; Aaron Smith, 
 from 1878; Mrs. S. M. Smith, from 1882 (the office designa- 
 tion now changed to West Harrisville) ; George F. Bemis, 
 from 1886, during whose term the designation of the office 
 was changed to Chesham; Oren A. Sherwin, from 1897; and 
 Caspar C. Bemis, who has held the office since 1901. Mr. C. 
 C. Bemis has built a fine new dwelling near the Chesham 
 station, in which the office is located. 
 
 In 1881, a post-office was established at East Harrisville, 
 locally called Handy ville, which was formerly in Dublin. 
 H. J. Farwell was appointed postmaster and held the position 
 until about 1897 or 1898, when Louis S. Farwell received the 
 appointment, and he and his wife retained the office until 
 about 1911, when the office was discontinued. A post-office 
 was recently established called Monadnock, G. B. Leighton, 
 postmaster. 
 
 Town-Hall 
 
 At the annual March meeting, in 1881, the town voted to 
 build a new town-house. In accordance with this vote, the 
 edifice was erected in 1881 and 1882. It cost $5263.76. The 
 town appropriated $3600. Gifts were received from the fol- 
 lowing individuals : —

 The building was dedicated, December 28, 1882. The ad- 
 dress was delivered by Rev. S. H. McCollester, D.D., of Marl- 
 borough. The building committee consisted of Henry D wight 
 Learned, George W. Gleason, and Henry C. Piper. 
 
 The architectural design did not prove to be entirely satis- 
 factory. At the annual town-meeting, March 14, 1916, it was 
 voted to accept and adopt the following resolution : — 
 
 "Resolved, That the town permit the proposed change to be 
 made on the front of the Town House, as proposed by Mr. J. L. 
 Mauran, expense of the same to be borne by Mr. Mauran and others, 
 the work to be done under the direction of, and subject to the ap- 
 proval of, the board of Selectmen." 
 
 The proposed change concerns the spire of the building, the 
 curved porch over the front door, and the addition of columns 
 in front to correspond with those on the Unitarian church 
 across the street. As these pages go to the press, it is expected 
 that the work will soon be under way.

 The foregoing statement was laid before the town at a legal 
 meeting held the fifth day of June, 1820, at which time it was 
 accepted by the town. At the same meeting, the town "voted 
 that the interest of the above sums should be appropriated 
 agreeably to the charter of said town." 
 
 According to a statement made in 1852 by Cyrus Piper, at 
 that time one of the agents of the town for managing its funds, 
 the fund for the support of schools was eleven thousand three 
 
508 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 hundred twenty-eight dollars and ninety-six cents, the greater 
 part of which was given to the town by Rev. E. Sprague. 
 
 Respecting the five thousand dollars bequeathed to the 
 town by Mr. Sprague, the town voted, June 5, 1820, "That 
 the First Congregational Society in the town of Dublin take 
 the charge of, with power to control, the five thousand dollars 
 bequeathed to said town by the late Rev. Edward Sprague, 
 for the support of the ministry in said town, and to make use 
 of and apply the interest of the same agreeably to the tenor of 
 said Sprague's last will and testament." 
 
 At the same meeting, the following vote was passed: — 
 "Voted that the interest of the money raised from the sales 
 of ministerial and school lands shall be appropriated agree- 
 ably to the charter of said town." 
 
 The interest of the ministerial land-fund was given at this 
 time, and till the year 1842, to the First Congregational So- 
 ciety, when it was divided among the three religious societies 
 in town by a committee chosen for the purpose. The com- 
 mittee were Thaddeus Morse, Augustine Wood, and Levi 
 Willard, who were directed to divide said interest "among 
 the several religious societies in town, according to their valua- 
 tion in the assessment of public taxes." 
 
 With regard to the management of the property bequeathed 
 to the town by Mr. Sprague, three agents, Dr. Moses Kidder, 
 Thaddeus Morse, Esq., and Mr. David Townsend, were 
 chosen, February 2, 1819, to take possession of the estate; 
 and the town "voted to ratify, allow, and make firm in law, 
 all the doings of said agents, done in their capacity in behalf 
 of said town." Dr. Kidder removed to Ashby, Mass., in 1819, 
 and the town refused to choose an agent in his place. In 
 1823, Richard Strong was chosen agent, instead of David 
 Townsend. Thaddeus Morse was retained in the office of 
 agent till 1842, a period of twenty-three years, when he re- 
 signed. Richard Strong resigned in 1847, having served twen- 
 ty-four years. Thomas Fisk was chosen in the place of Thad- 
 deus Morse, and Cyrus Piper in place of Richard Strong. 
 Thomas Fisk and Rufus Piper were the agents in 1852. 
 
 Dexter Mason, James Allison, Dexter Derby, Corydon 
 Jones, Henry D. Learned, Milton D. Mason, Fred C. Gow- 
 ing, and Henry N. Gowing have served as such agents. 
 
 By an Act of the legislature of 1915, all funds belonging to 
 the town in trust were placed in the hands of three trustees, 
 to be elected by the town, one for one year, one for two years.

 one for three years and, thereafter, one each year for three 
 years. Those chosen at the last annual town-meeting were 
 Clifford Gowing, Milton D. Mason, and Henry N. Gowing. 
 
 Since the funding of Mr. Sprague's bequests, and of the 
 school and ministerial land sales, these agents have had the 
 management of all the funds which belong to the town. In 
 1843, the First Congregational Society appointed Thomas 
 Fisk as agent, in connection with Richard Strong, to manage 
 its funds. The funded property of Dublin was not originally 
 invested in stocks, but loaned to individuals on what was 
 deemed good security. It has been judiciously managed. 
 Only small losses have been incurred. 
 
 Schools and Schoolhouses 
 
 Respecting the education of the Scotch-Irish who first set- 
 tled in Dublin, we have no definite information. As they were 
 Protestants, and came from the north of Ireland, it may be 
 presumed that they had the advantage of such schools or in- 
 struction as that part of the country afforded. John Alexan- 
 der, it has been said, was unable to read. Henry Strongman, 
 who was the only one that remained till the town was incor- 
 porated, was a prominent man in managing the municipal 
 affairs; and his literary qualifications appear to have been suf- 
 ficient for the purpose. 
 
 Those settlers that came from Sherborn and its vicinity 
 received their education in such common schools as were then 
 maintained in their respective towns. Some of them are re- 
 ported to have said that their privilege of attending school 
 was confined to a few short terms, but that these were well 
 improved, and, not only so, but the hours of leisure at home 
 were well improved also. Although no appropriation of money 
 for schools was made by the town till the year 1773, yet it 
 cannot be supposed that some means were not used for the 
 instruction of children and youth, either at home by parents, 
 or in neighborhoods by private teachers. The sum first 
 granted, four pounds, "to keep a woman's school in three 
 parts of the town," seems to us of the present day altogether 
 inadequate for such an object. Four pounds, equal to thir- 
 teen dollars and thirty-three cents, would give to each school 
 only four dollars and forty-four cents. But, if the board of the 
 teacher were paid by the town, or by the parents of the chil- 
 dren, and a room provided and furnished without charge. 
 
510 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 then the four dollars and forty-four cents would give ten 
 weeks' schooling, provided the teachers received for wages 
 only forty-four cents per week; and it is known that, even after 
 this date, female teachers received no more. In what parts of 
 the town, or by whom, the said three schools were kept is not 
 known. For the three years succeeding 1773, six pounds, or 
 twenty dollars, were granted for schools; but, in 1777, no 
 money was raised for that object, and, if schools were kept, 
 they were supported by private subscription. Owing to the 
 pressure of the times, a project was entertained to sell the 
 school lands; and a vote to that effect was passed, but the 
 lands were not sold. No attempt was made to erect school- 
 houses till 1778, when it was voted to build two schoolhouses, 
 one in the east, and one in the west, part of the town. Com- 
 mittees were chosen to build said schoolhouses; for the north- 
 west part of the town, Moses Adams, Reuben Morse, and Eli 
 Greenwood; and, for the east part, William Greenwood, 
 Simeon Johnson, and Oliver Wright. There is no record show- 
 ing that these houses were ever built. 
 
 In 1779, the vote of the town was "to raise one hundred 
 pounds for a school the present year." This sum must have 
 been reckoned in continental money, of which, at that time, 
 it took five pounds and six shillings to make one dollar. The 
 salary voted to Mr. Sprague in this year was £1060; which 
 sum, at the above rate, would amount to $200, his stipulated 
 salary. The sum raised for schools, therefore, was $19.80. In 
 1780, granting money for a school was left to the selectmen, 
 "to assess what they think proper." In 1781, no money for a 
 school was granted; but, in 1782, the town voted to raise 
 eight pounds, or $26.67, and the selectmen were directed "to 
 divide the town into five parts for schooling, and give each 
 part their proportion of the school-money, and each part shall 
 lay out their money within the year in such schooling as they 
 think best." 
 
 In 1783, no money was granted for schooling; but it was 
 "voted to have the money, which the town have at interest, 
 lay for the support of a school." In 1784, no money was 
 raised; but it was "voted, Dec. 17, to build seven school- 
 housen at the cost of the town." A committee "to divide the 
 town into districts" was chosen, consisting of Stephen Ames, 
 Moses Adams, Benjamin Learned, Reuben Morse, Ivory 
 Perry, John Morse, and Ebenezer Twitchell; and it was "voted 
 that the said committee pitch upon the places for each school-

 house, provided the district can't agree, and also say how big 
 each school-house shall be, and make report to the town at 
 their next meeting on adjournment." At the adjourned meet- 
 ing, January 10, the town "voted to have another district, 
 and chose Ezra Twitchell to join the committee for dividing 
 the town into districts." At an adjourned meeting, January 
 31, "Voted to reconsider the vote for the eighth district. 
 Voted to divide the middle district at the meeting-house, the 
 east part, as far as James Houghton's, to make a district. 
 Voted to accept of the rest of the districts as the committee 
 has laid them out. Then chose committees to build the school- 
 housen: Chose Joseph Greenwood, James Rollins, Joshua 
 Greenwood, for the street; John Muzzy, Capt. Moses Adams, 
 Eli Greenwood, for the north-west school-house; Reuben 
 Morse, Thaddeus Mason, Joshua Twitchell, for the north; 
 Ivory Perry, Richard Gilchrist, Joshua Stanley, for the south- 
 east; Joseph Twitchell, Simeon Bullard, Nathan Bixby, for 
 the south; David Townsend Jr., Amos Emery, Ebenezer 
 Twitchell, for the north-east; John Morse, Thomas Wakefield, 
 and Samuel Williams, for the south-west school-house." 
 
 In October, 1785, the town "voted to grant one hundred 
 and fifty pounds, to be assessed and divided into seven equal 
 parts, and a list thereof committed to each committee that 
 was chosen to build the school-housen and they shall give 
 each man liberty to work or find stuff for said housen to pay 
 his rate; and, if any person neglect or refuse to do his propor- 
 tion, the committee shall return his list to the selectmen, and 
 the selectmen shall give the list of such delinquent to the con- 
 stable to collect, and the money shall be paid into the respec- 
 tive districts where it belongs." 
 
 It was not easy to satisfy the people of some of the districts 
 with the location of their schoolhouses. At a town-meeting, 
 March, 1786, it was voted "to build a school-house by the 
 meeting-house; to set the school-house (proposed to be set by 
 Josiah Greenwood's) between Richard Strongman's and John 
 Stone's; to set the north-east school-house near Gardner 
 Town's, at the place staked out by the committee; to set a 
 school-house by Gershom Twitchell's, Jun.; to accept of the 
 place for a school-house near Ebenezer Emes's; to set a school- 
 house by Mr, Rowel's; to set a school-house on the road be- 
 tween Capt. Adams's and Ezra Morse's, at the crotch of the 
 roads turning to Packersfield, on said Adams's land." "Chose 
 Deacon Eli Morse to take care and see to the building of the 
 school-house by the meeting-house." 
 
512 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The people who lived on the east side of the hill succeeded 
 in preventing the building of a sehoolhouse by the meeting- 
 house. Their children, in order to reach it, would have been 
 obliged to pass over the hill; and a house was erected near 
 Moses Greenwood's. There was opposition also to the loca- 
 tion of a sehoolhouse west of Captain Adams's; and, although 
 money had been collected for building the same, yet the west 
 part of the district had sufficient influence to cause the erec- 
 tion to be postponed; and, in 1791, the town voted that said 
 house should be built "on the road between Ezra Morse's and 
 Mr. Hale's, near the line between their lots." This vote was 
 reconsidered at an adjourned meeting; and the contest was 
 not ended till September, 1792, when the town "voted forty- 
 five pounds to build two school-housen in the north-west part 
 of the town, including what John Muzzy has in his hands for 
 building a school-house." The said houses were to be located, 
 one west of Eli Greenwood's, and the other between Joshua 
 Farnum's and Andrew Allison's. 
 
 The house near INIoses Greenwood's, voted to be built in 
 1778, was not finished and accepted till March 13, 1792, when 
 Joseph Greenwood's account for building said house was 
 allowed (£32.3.11., or $107.27). 
 
 At the town-meeting of March, 1794, the contest for a 
 sehoolhouse in the middle of the town was renewed, and the 
 following votes were passed: "Voted to build a school-house 
 near the middle of the town. Voted to move the school-house 
 that stands at Moses Greenwood's. Voted that the school- 
 house by Moses Greenwood's be moved down to the road 
 below Drury Morse's, that comes from Francis Appleton's. 
 Voted that the selectmen move the school-house that is by 
 Moses Greenwood's in the way ihey think best. Voted that 
 the school-house that is to be built in the middle of the town 
 be vendued to the lowest bidder by the selectmen. Voted to 
 have the school-house that is to be built in the middle of the 
 town finished in one year and nine months from the time it 
 is vendued off." 
 
 At an adjourned meeting, April 1, 1794, "Voted to divide 
 the school-money into eight parts according to the number of 
 school-houses. Voted to choose a committee to divide the 
 school-money, and take the number of scholars. Voted that 
 no scholar under four years old, or upwards of twenty-one, 
 shall be numbered. Voted that the town give no more than 
 four shillings per week for boarding schoolmasters, unless thej^ 
 pay it out of their school-money." 
 
SCHOOLS 513 
 
 The schoolhouse in the middle of the town was struck oflF to 
 Capt. Jonathan Hoar; and, at the March meeting, 1795, the 
 selectmen were appointed a committee to consult with him in 
 building the same. The location was on the hill, near the spot 
 on which the second meetinghouse stood; hence it was after- 
 wards called Schoolhouse Hill. It would seem that Mr. Hoar 
 exceeded his obligation in the finishing of the house; for, in 
 1796, the town voted to pay him "ten dollars for the work 
 done to the schoolhouse more than his bond obliged him to do." 
 
 The building of the schoolhouse by Drury Morse's was 
 struck off to Philip Mills for twenty-seven pounds and six 
 shillings, October 5, 1795; and, at the same time, the follow- 
 ing vote was passed, which shows that the town considered 
 Philip Mills's word as good as his bond: "Voted to accept 
 Lieut. Philip Mills's word in room of a bondsman;' and he 
 promises to build and finish off the schoolhouse by Drury 
 Morse's, by the first of December, 1795, and the selectmen 
 are to pay him in five months after it is finished off." 
 
 The schoolhouse by Moses Greenwood's, standing on the 
 north-east corner of lot 7, in the 5th range, was sold to Gard- 
 ner Towne, February, 1796, for forty-three dollars and thirty- 
 three cents. Thus ended, for the time being, a long contro- 
 versy respecting the location of a schoolhouse in the middle 
 of the town. But it was renewed a quarter of a century after- 
 wards; a vote of the town having been obtained, March 22, 
 1825, to build a schoolhouse on or near the same spot. A com- 
 mittee was chosen to build the same, who proceeded to locate 
 the house, and the foundation was laid; but, at a meeting of 
 the town, on the 23d day of April, the following vote was 
 passed: "Voted to disannul and make void the vote passed 
 at the adjournment of the last annual meeting, which was to 
 build a schoolhouse near Jackson Greenwood's. Voted to dis- 
 miss the committee chosen to build said house from any fur- 
 ther services, as it respects building a schoolhouse near Jack- 
 son Greenwood's, and to pay them honorably for the services 
 they have done relating thereto." 
 
 Subsequently to 1796, and previously to the above date, vari- 
 ous attempts were made to alter some of the school-districts, or 
 to change the location of the houses. The house between Joshua 
 Farnum's and Andrew Allison's was not finished and accepted 
 by the town till 1799. The district in the north-east part of 
 the town was divided in 1805; and thus there were ten school- 
 districts, which, with little alteration, remained till 1840. In 
 
514 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the meantime, however, much dissatisfaction existed with re- 
 gard to the situation of the schoolhouses in districts Nos. 1, 3, 
 and 9. The selectmen were directed, in 1816, to number the 
 districts; and the same numbers are attached to them now 
 which were appHed at that time, although alterations have 
 been made in some of the districts. At present, the whole 
 town forms a single school-district, in the legal sense, but the 
 old boundaries of the school-districts are still used for con- 
 venience and for historical purposes. 
 
 An unsuccessful attempt was made in 1820 to unite dis- 
 tricts Nos. 9 and 10. Originally, these two districts formed 
 the "north-east district." In 1820, part of the money in dis- 
 trict No. 1 was appropriated for a school at the east end of 
 the district; and the same was done for summer schools in the 
 two or three succeeding years. In district No. 3, attempts 
 were made at different times to remove the schoolhouse or to 
 divide the district. Dublin was not divided into school-dis- 
 tricts by metes and bounds till the year 1840. Before this 
 date, the schoolhouses were built at the expense of the town, 
 and the districts were nominal in a legal sense; for the law 
 said, that "any town not divided as aforesaid (by metes and 
 bounds) shall be considered as one district." Earnest efforts 
 were frequently made, as the town records show, to have the 
 town districted for schools "according to law," as it was com- 
 monly expressed. In 1839, an act was passed by the legisla- 
 ture, requiring the selectmen, on application in writing of ten 
 legal voters, "forthwith to divide the town into districts, and 
 define their boundaries." As the districting of the town could 
 be no longer delayed, at the annual meeting in 1840, the town 
 chose Hon. Levi Fisk of Jaffrey, Dr. Albert Smith of Peter- 
 borough, and Charles Holman, Jr., of Marlborough, to divide 
 the town into school-districts. This was done in the month of 
 May following; and, with some slight alterations, the school- 
 districts remain the same at this day, although, as we have 
 remarked above, the whole town is today legally a single dis- 
 trict, and schoolhouses have disappeared in some of the.' old 
 districts, as in Nos. 6 and 9, the latter being now within the 
 limits of the present town of Harrisville. By the arrangement 
 of 1840, the west end of district No. 1 was added to district 
 No. 6. In this last-named district, the first schoolhouse was 
 erected that contained single seats, graduated to accommo- 
 date the sizes of pupils of different ages. The school-room 
 under the town-house, built in 1823, was given up, and a new 
 
SCHOOLS 515 
 
 one erected on lot 8, range 6. A view of this schoolhouse, and 
 a plan of the school-room, were inserted in the State Commis- 
 sioner's Report for 1849. We insert the same here, with a brief 
 description of the engravings. 
 
 Description. The building is forty-two feet by thirty on 
 the ground, and eleven feet high in the school-room between 
 the finishing. The school-room is twenty-nine by thirty-five 
 feet inside. There are sixty-four seats, and as many desks, 
 each furnished with a shelf for books. The seats are in the 
 form of a wooden chair-bottom, and are of various sizes, from 
 sixteen inches down to ten in height. The height of the desks 
 is from thirty to twenty inches. The teacher's desk is on a 
 platform raised fifteen inches, in the centre of the front of the 
 room, with a small room behind it for the use of the -teacher, 
 or for a recitation room for the younger pupils to recite to 
 monitors. The entries may be used for the same purpose. 
 The room is furnished with two ventilators, which open into 
 the attic story; the two windows of which can be raised, so 
 that any excess of heat or impurity of the air of the school- 
 room can be removed.

 That schoolhouse still serves the pupils of district No. 1. 
 Efforts have recently been put forth to secure a new and 
 larger and better building, nearer the top of the hill, but until 
 1916 these efforts were unavailing. Meetings of the union 
 district had been held, propositions made, committees ap- 
 pointed, and plans drawn, but the project hung in the balance 
 until the annual meeting of the union school-district in 1916, 
 when it was voted to build a new house, as we shall see later 
 in this chapter. 
 
 In the year 1840, a new schoolhouse was built in district 
 No. 7 (the Pottersville schoolhouse), and another in district 
 No. 4. The first school in district No. 7 was kept in the house 
 of John Stroud (which was quite near the brick "South wick" 
 house in Pottersville), by a Mr. Jonathan White, about the 
 year 1787. The room was furnished with shingle-blocks for 
 
516 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 seats. The first schoolhoiise in this district was built in 1794, 
 and a brick one, on the same spot, in 1817 or 1818, which was 
 used till the town was districted in 1840. The first female 
 teacher in this district was Mrs. Joseph Bailey, who lived on 
 lot 20, range 9. The schoolhouse built in the Pottersville dis- 
 trict in 1840 was constructed with single seats. The one which 
 was built in No. 4 contained seats designed to accommodate 
 two pupils. In 1845, a well-constructed and substantial 
 schoolhouse was built in district No. 2. In this house, still in 
 use, each pupil has a seat, similar in form to the seats in the 
 school-room of district No. 1. After 1840, the schoolhouse in 
 district No. 4 was enlarged, and the rooms in some of the 
 others were improved. 
 
 The defacing of the school-rooms by cutting the desks, or 
 by other means, has not been practised since the houses be- 
 came the property of the several districts. In 1820, only one 
 school-room was warmed with a stove. This stove was in the 
 old schoolhouse of district No. 1. In the new school-room of 
 1823 was a fireplace, and it was used the first winter, taking a 
 cord of wood per week; and even that, on cold and windy 
 days, did not keep all the pupils duly comfortable. The next 
 winter, a stove was used, and it was found that one-fourth of 
 a cord per week was sufficient, if the wood were dry and the 
 fire properly managed. 
 
 Mr. Lawson Belknap wrote a history of district No. 3 and 
 read it at a meeting of the inhabitants of the same in the 
 winter of 1852-53. It contains many interesting facts in 
 reference to the schools and the several teachers. From this 
 history, which contains fifty pages, closely written, the editor of 
 the former "History of Dublin" took the following notices: — 
 
 "Asa Bullard of New Ipswich was the first person employed as a 
 teacher in district No. 3, in the year 1785. The term of school was 
 six weeks, three in the house of Ivory Perry, and three in the log- 
 house of Richard Gilchrest. Mr. Bullard was a kind and successful 
 teacher. He went to Boston, was principal of the Franklin School, 
 Chief Justice Shaw being his assistant. He graduated at Dartmouth 
 College, studied medicine, and was a successful practitioner. He 
 was distinguished for his social powers and for his active benevolence. 
 It was said of him that, at one time, he almost entirely supported 
 four poor families. He was never rich. He died about 1826, much 
 lamented by the poor. 
 
 "In the winter of 1786, the school was taught by Mr. Samuel 
 Appleton of New Ipswich. He was a teacher of superior merit, and 
 gave perfect satisfaction both to parents and pupils. He conversed 
 
SCHOOLS 517 
 
 freely with his pupils; and his kindness was especially shown towards 
 the little girls, whom he never suffered to wade through the snow 
 drifts, but carried them over in his arms." 
 
 Some statistics in reference to this district, as given by Mr. 
 Belknap, are worthy of consideration : — 
 
 "In 1840, the whole population of the district was 121; males, 56, 
 females, 65. The number of families was 21, and of legal voters 24. 
 
 "In 1845, the population was 110; males, 54; females, 56; and the 
 number of voters, 21. 
 
 "In 1850, the number had decreased to 96, and, on the 17th of 
 June, 1852, the whole number was only 84; males, 39; females, 45; 
 with only 16 legal voters. At this time (February, 1853), the whole 
 number of inhabitants is only 73; showing a decrease, since 1840, of 48. 
 
 "The whole number of families in 1840 was 21, and now- it is only 
 14. The present number of legal voters is 15; showing a decrease of 
 nine since 1840." 
 
 In 1884, a new schoolhouse, the one now in use, was built 
 in district No. 4. In district No. 5, the first schoolhouse was 
 located on the western side of lot 19, range 4. After the road 
 was altered, and the present road leading to Stone Pond was 
 constructed, a second schoolhouse for this district was located 
 on lot 20, range 4, in the north-east corner of the Stone Pond 
 road and the old road leading northerly to the Hardy neigh- 
 borhood. Recently, a new schoolhouse for this district was 
 built much farther to the east, in the north-west corner of the 
 Stone Pond road and the so-called "Charcoal Road." The 
 good schoolhouse in district No. 6 was burned in recent years, 
 and the few children in that district attend the school in No. 
 5. Districts Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 10 (the last two having been pre- 
 viously united) were included in the town of Harrisville, when 
 the former Dublin was divided. The northern end of district 
 No. 6 was also taken into Harrisville, but not the portion 
 which included the schoolhouse. Portions of the southern 
 edges of districts Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 10, below the line dividing 
 the seventh and eighth ranges, were left in Dublin and incor- 
 porated with the districts immediately below them. Since 
 1840, a new schoolhouse was built in district No. 3, the style 
 of which conforms to that of the schoolhouses in No. 1 and 
 No. 2. 
 
 Inspection of Schools 
 
 Before the passage of the school law of 1827, the selectmen 
 were, ex officio, a committee for inspecting schools, unless 
 
518 
 
 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 others were chosen for that purpose. No other persons were 
 chosen, except in the following years, till 1821; in 1806, Ed- 
 ward Sprague, Aaron Appleton, Adam Johnson, Asa Fisk, Jr., 
 Alexander Ernes, John Perry, Moses Marshall, Artemas Childs, 
 John Snow, Robert Muzzy, Thaddeus Morse, and Reuben 
 Muzzy; in 1809, Rev. Edward Sprague, Aaron Appleton, and 
 Adam Johnson; in 18l0, Adam Johnson, Aaron Appleton, 
 Ruggles Smith, Isaac Appleton, Asa Fisk, John Perry, Samuel 
 Twitchell, Jr., Andrew Allison, Thaddeus Morse, and Ebene- 
 zer Richardson; in 1818, Adam Johnson, Moses Kidder, and 
 Joseph Appleton. It is not known that the above-named in- 
 spectors made any report of the condition of the several 
 schools. Many of them had been successful instructors, and 
 their influence in improving the schools which they inspected 
 must have been effective. 
 
 At the annual meeting, March, 18*21, the town "chose the 
 Rev. Levi W. Leonard the principal committee-man to visit 
 the schools in the several districts with the agent belonging to 
 the district which is to be visited, whose duty it is to inform 
 the Rev. Mr. Leonard of the time he is desired to attend for 
 that purpose." The following persons were chosen school- 
 agents for that year: district No. 1, Moses Marshall; No. 2, 
 John Taggart, Jr.; No. 3, Jonas B. Piper; No. 4, Moses Corey; 
 No. 5, Ebenezer Richardson; No. 6, Moses Adams, Jr. (grand- 
 son of the settler, Moses Adams); No. 7, Ruggles Smith; No. 
 8, Eli Hamilton; No. 9, John Crombie; No. 10, Benjamin 
 Marshall. In the course of the year, Mr. Leonard issued a 
 printed circular, in which a list of books was named, and their 
 uniform use in the several schools recommended. In the year 
 1822, five persons were chosen for the school-committee; and 
 the same number were annually chosen till 1852, when the 
 law was altered, and the superintending school-committee 
 limited to three. The following is a list of the school-com- 
 mittee of Dublin (known as the school-board in 188G, and 
 since) from 1822 to 1916 inclusive: —

 Note. Where a brace is used, in the preceding list, the first person named in it 
 resigned, and the other was appointed in his place. The title "Rev." is used before 
 the name of a clergyman the first time that his name appears, not afterwards with 
 respect to the same person. The same is true of the title "Dr."' before the name of a 
 physician. Rev. Edward Sprague, Rev. Levi W. Leonard, D.D., Rev. Wm. F. Bridge, 
 Rev. George M. Rice, Rev. Hasket D. Catlin, and Rev. George W. Patten were 
 pastors of the First Congregational (now Unitarian) Church. Rev. James Tisdale, 
 Rev. Henry A. Kendall, Rev. Alonzo Hayes, Rev. Andrew J. Fosdick, and Rev. 
 Henry A. Coolidge were pastors of the Trinitarian Congregational Church. Rev. 
 Warren Cooper, Rev. William W. Lovejoy, Rev. John Hunt, and Rev. Gideon S. 
 Smith were pastors of the Baptist Church at Pottersville, which was in Harrisville 
 after 1870. Rev. Daniel H. Babcock, Rev. William G. Tuttle. Rev. Lyman Marshall, 
 and Rev. Charles M. Palmer were pastors of the Congregational Church at Harris- 
 ville, which became a town in 1870. 
 
 In 1822, at the suggestion of one of the committee, Moses 
 Adams, Jr., a printed form for returning the names, ages, 
 books, and studies of pupils in the schools was delivered to 
 each teacher. The requisite returns were made; and, with the 
 aid of these returns, a full report of the condition of the schools, 
 with suggestions for their improvement, was prepared and 
 read at the annual town-meeting in March, 1823. Similar 
 forms were furnished in subsequent years, and reports pre- 
 pared and, with one exception, read at the annual meetings in 
 March. The first report printed was that for the year 1842-43. 
 It was printed at the expense of such individuals as chose to 
 purchase it; but, the next year, the town voted that a sufficient 
 number of copies of the report of the superintending school- 
 committee be printed at the expense of the town to supply 
 each family with one. The printing of the school report was 
 
SCHOOLS 523 
 
 continued at the expense of the town to the time when town 
 reports began to be printed; each voter, or tax-payer, receiv- 
 ing a copy of the same, and the committee one hundred copies. 
 For about forty years, these reports have been inchided in the 
 annual vohime of town reports, printed by requirement of 
 state law. 
 
 It will be perceived that most of the members of the school- 
 committee in Dublin have been laymen; and the chairman of 
 the committee for thirty-three years considered it due to them 
 to say (in the former "History of Dublin") that, serving on said 
 committee for many years, as several of them did, with punc- 
 tuality and fidelity, gratuitously devoting much time to the 
 examining of teachers and the inspection of schools, they were 
 justly entitled to the grateful regards of those for whom they 
 had thus labored. What Dr. Leonard wrote, at that time, 
 would be equally true of those who have served in that capac- 
 ity in the half century since those words were written in the 
 former history. Dublin has always been fortunate in having, 
 each year, a superintending school-committee that has ren- 
 dered efficient service. 
 
 With the decrease of the population, there has been a de- 
 crease of the number of pupils in the schools. In 1821, and till 
 1830, the whole number of pupils attending the several schools 
 was about four hundred fifty each year. During the years 
 following the above-named period, the number of pupils has 
 varied; but, on the average, down to 1852, there had been not 
 far from three hundred fifty in attendance each year, or about 
 one-third of the population. The following is an extract from 
 the conclusion of the school-report for 1850-51: — 
 
 "The reading of this report closes the thirtieth year in which the 
 chairman of your committee [Rev. Dr. Leonard] has been engaged 
 in superintending the schools in this town. He has made to them 
 more than a thousand visits. He has spent much time in examining 
 teachers and preparing reports, and, in other ways, endeavored to 
 sustain and improve the schools. He says this in no spirit of boast- 
 ing. It has been a labor which he loved, and it will ever remain a 
 source of gratifying recollection. He has not labored alone and un- 
 aided. His associates on the committee have been faithful and self- 
 sacrificing; and, with no exceptions worth naming, the people of the 
 town have extended a generous confidence to the measures and 
 efforts of their superintending school-committee. Let the same har- 
 monious action, and the same spirit of improvement, continue for 
 another period of thirty years, and your schools will be so perfected 
 that the period just closed will seem like a day of small things."

 Another period of thirty years has passed, and the half of 
 another thirty, since those memorable words of Dr. Leonard 
 were written; but the work of that noble man and the per- 
 manent effects of the methods of education which he intro- 
 duced have suffered nothing by a comparison with any school 
 work that has since been done in the town. The present 
 schools are in excellent condition, the pupils are ably and 
 thoroughly instructed, and the teachers, especially those who 
 have been the longest in the service of the town, are the 
 equals, in the same grades, of any teachers in the state. 
 
 The population of the town has continued to decrease. In 
 1890, the number of pupils of school age, as enumerated by 
 the selectmen, was one hundred five. In 1900, the number 
 was sixty-seven, which was a gain of ten over the previous 
 year. In 1910, the largest school attendance was fifty-eight; 
 in 1914, it had risen to eighty-five. This is a small number in 
 comparison with the four hundred fifty of 1830, or even with 
 the three hundred fifty, which was about the average attend- 
 ance for many years previous to 1850. The causes of this de- 
 cline in the number of children are various. Removals of 
 families from the town, the practical extinction by death of 
 others, the pitiably small number of children in modern fami- 
 lies as compared with families of the olden time, and the fact 
 that many of the old farms have been altogether abandoned, 
 or sold to persons who occupy them only for a few months in 
 the warm weather, are the chief reasons for the diminution in 
 the number of pupils. 
 
 Of late years, there has been considerable agitation about 
 the matter of consolidating all the schools in one. While some 
 favor this plan, and employ plausible arguments to support 
 their theories, there are others who determinedly oppose the 
 idea. Those who live in the village, or many of them, would 
 be pleased to see a large school in that section. Those who 
 live on the farms in the outlying districts are quite likely to 
 feel that a school in their own neighborhood is their greatest 
 blessing, and that the loss of it would be the greatest calam- 
 ity. Those who favor consolidation point out the pleasures of 
 a large school, the concentration of the money, and the ability 
 to hire high-priced teachers. Those who favor the retention 
 of the rural schools point out the disadvantages attending the 
 transportation of the children, the lack of that individual at- 
 tention which a pupil can get in a small school, and the break- 
 ing up of those neighborhood ties which have bound together

 scholars of the same school-district in the years that are past. 
 The problem is still unsolved. Many modern superintendents, 
 always alert for something new, favor consolidation. More 
 conservative persons, who do not feel so sure that all new 
 things are the best things, are in no hurry for the change. 
 
 Schools for instruction in what are termed the higher 
 branches of education have been kept at various times since 
 1823, the year in which the first school of the kind was opened. 
 In the town report issued, March 1, 1893, Mr. Henry C. Piper 
 furnished an admirable "History of Education in Dublin." 
 The valuable monograph is too lengthy for reproduction, in 
 its entirety, in this history, but the editor has taken the liberty 
 of drawing freely from its facts. He wishes to acknowledge 
 the great work for the town which Mr. Piper rendered in the 
 preparation of that paper. It contains an alphabetical list of 
 all the teachers of Dublin whose names could be recovered, 
 with the number of terms, so far as ascertainable, which each 
 taught in Dublin, with the residence of each teacher. From 
 this paper we shall copy the following list of schools of a 
 higher grade which have been established in Dublin in various 
 years, aided, in later years, by the Appleton fund, of which we 
 shall soon speak. These schools have sometimes been called 
 "select schools" and sometimes "high schools." In the prep- 
 aration of the list, we wish also to acknowledge the loan of a 
 valuable collection of papers by Warren L. Fiske, Esq., a 
 veteran schoolteacher, who has been much interested in the 
 town schools. Until very recently these select schools were in 
 the autumn of the vears named.

 All of these schools, except the one last recorded in the list, 
 were of one term each, beginning in the autumn, or early 
 winter, of the year named. The school, in 1902-03, taught by 
 Miss Ellis, was in successful operation three terms, beginning 
 in the early autumn of 1902 and continuing until late in the 
 spring of 1903. The town, at the annual March meeting, in 
 1902, had made an appropriation for a high school, and the 
 school-district, the same day, voted to establish a high school, 
 with thre^ terms each year. After an experiment of one year, 
 however, it was found that there were so few pupils available 
 for the purpose that the scheme was impractical. The plan 
 was, therefore, abandoned after that year. Since then, pupils 
 desiring to study in a high school are accommodated at such 
 institutions in neighboring towns, and, in accordance with a 
 law of the state, the school-district, which is coextensive with 
 the whole town, pays the tuition of such pupils. 
 
 In accordance with a recent law of the state, towns can 
 unite for the purpose of procuring supervisors of their schools. 
 
SCHOOLS 527 
 
 Tlie salary which such a combination of towns can afford to 
 pay is sufficient to secure the services of a competent scholar 
 and educator to look after the interests of the schools. In 
 former times, the superintending school-committee (later 
 called a school-board), appointed each year, superintended the 
 character and methods of instruction in the schools, besides 
 examining the teachers with respect to their intellectual quali- 
 fications to fill the positions for which they were engaged. 
 This system worked admirably in Dublin when Dr. Leonard 
 was at the head of the committee, and so long as able clergy- 
 men and laymen who were themselves experienced teachers 
 continued to serve in that capacity. The time came eventually 
 when modern and more technical methods of imparting in- 
 struction were used. It then seemed advisable to unite with 
 other towns and procure the services of expert supervisors. 
 The experiment, begun in 1901, has continued to the present 
 time. The following is a list of those who have served as 
 
 Supervisors of the Dublin Schools 
 
 1. Rev. Sullivan H. McCollester, D.D., of Marlborough, 
 who served the towns of Dublin, Marlborough, Troy, and 
 Fitzwilliam, in 1901-02. He was re-elected in 1902, but, in 
 consequence of advancing years, he declined the honor. He 
 was a graduate of Norwich University, pursued a course of 
 study at the Harvard Divinity School, was an able preacher 
 in the Universalist denomination, and a successful school- 
 teacher for many years, and was, for a time, the president of 
 Blichtel College in Ohio. He has resided, for many years, in 
 his native town of Marlborough. 
 
 2. Henry B. Stearns, a graduate of Brown University, was 
 chosen in 1902 to serve the same towns, as supervisor of their 
 schools. He resided in Marlborough, later in Fitzwilliam. He 
 resigned the office, November 26, 1906. 
 
 3. Austin H. Fitz was elected, January 5, 1907, to succeed 
 Mr. Stearns, whose failing health had compelled his resigna- 
 tion. The district whose schools were supervised by Mr. Fitz 
 included Dublin, Troy, Fitzwilliam, and Rindge. Mr. Fitz re- 
 sided in Troy. 
 
 4. H. H. Pratt served as the supervisor from 1908 until 
 1912, and presented four annual reports. The supervisory dis- 
 trict was changed somewhat, and Mr. Pratt resided at Hins- 
 dale. 
 
528 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 5. Andrew P. Averill, who came from Edgartown, Mass., 
 began duty as supervisor, September 1, 1912, and continues in 
 that capacity as these pages go to the press. 
 
 In 1907, the custom was introduced of providing a special 
 teacher for music and drawing. Those fine arts have been 
 taught since, sometimes by the same teacher, sometimes by 
 different teachers. Courses in agriculture have been intro- 
 duced, also some attention has been given to manual training. 
 
 Teachers' Institutes 
 
 Institutes for the training and instruction of teachers were 
 the forerunners of normal schools. It is not as well known as 
 it should be that Dr. Leonard's influence was a powerful factor 
 in the origination of these institutes. He took a prominent 
 part in them. The text-books which he published, especially 
 the "Sequel to the Easy Lessons," and the "North American 
 Spelling-Book," were used in the early institutes. They were 
 gradually introduced into all the schools in this part of New 
 England. The spelling-book was used extensively until a 
 comparatively recent date, and was far better than anything 
 of the kind now in use. 
 
 A session of the Cheshire County Teachers' Institute was 
 held in Dublin in October, 1846, and continued four weeks. 
 The principal instructor was the Rev. John Goldsbury of War- 
 wick, Mass., the compiler of Goldsbury's "American School 
 Reader," one of the best readers ever used in any school. 
 
 The Appleton Fund 
 
 As the letter of Samuel Appleton, contained on pages 88 
 and 89, was not so explicit as to the mode of appropriating his 
 gift of a thousand dollars as was thought to be desirable, the 
 chairman of the Committee of Invitation to the Centennial 
 Celebration wrote to Mr. Appleton on the subject, and ob- 
 tained the following reply : — 
 
 Boston, July 13, 1852. 
 
 "Gentlemen, — I have received j^our favor of the 18th ult., 
 acknowledging the receipt of my letter of the 15th, with my check 
 for one thousand dollars. For this attention, and the friendly ex- 
 pressions contained in your letter, I return my sincere thanks. It 
 affords me gratification to learn that the celebration 'passed off very 
 pleasantly'; and I am happy if I have, in any way, contributed to 
 the enjoyment of that interesting occasion. 
 
 "Towards the close of the communication, you call my attention 
 
SCHOOLS 529 
 
 to the subject of the appropriation of the one thousand dollars pre- 
 sented by me for educational purposes to the town of Dublin. In 
 answer to your inquiries upon that subject, I would say, that, having 
 implicit confidence in the present superintending school-committee, 
 it was my intention to place the thousand dollars entirely under 
 their control, to be laid out, without any restrictions or qualifications 
 on my part, in the manner deemed by them most expedient. I trust 
 this reply is sufficiently explicit. The delay in sending this letter has 
 been occasioned bj^ indisposition and my advanced age, which is 
 now upwards of eighty-six years. 
 
 "With the best wishes for the continued prosperity of Dublin, 
 and its great ornament, the common schools, I remain your friend 
 and obedient servant, 
 
 Saml. Appleton." 
 
 To JoNA. K. Smith, Asa H. Fisk, and Ransom N. Porter, 
 Committee of Invitation. 
 
 In consequence of the foregoing letter, the superintending 
 school-committee, chosen by the town of Dublin, at the an- 
 nual meeting, March, 1852, namely, Levi W. Leonard, Alonzo 
 Hayes, and Ransom N. Porter, by the authority vested in 
 them, adopted the following rules and regulations for manag- 
 ing and appropriating the thousand dollars and its proceeds, 
 and, in honor of the benevolent donor, funded the gift, and 
 named it the Appleton Fund. 
 
 "Sajmuel Appleton, Esq., of Boston, Mass., having presented to 
 the town of Dublin, in the State of New Hampshire, one thousand 
 dollars for educational purposes, to be applied as the superintending 
 school-committee of the town shall deem expedient, the undersigned 
 do hereby adopt the following rules and regulations for the manage- 
 ment and appropriation thereof : — 
 
 "1. The said thousand dollars shall be kept at interest forever, 
 and be denominated the Appleton Fund. 
 
 "2. All proceeds from the fund shall be subject to the draught of 
 the trustees, and shall be applied to the purchase of apparatus for 
 the public schools of Dublm, for courses of free lectures, for the sup- 
 port, or in aid, of high schools, and for such other purposes of educa- 
 tion as the trustees of said fund may deem expedient. 
 
 "3. The trustees shall appoint an agent, who shall act as treasurer; 
 whose duty it shall be to keep the money safely and profitably in- 
 vested, and pay out the proceeds of the same on the order of the 
 trustees. Said agent, having had his appointment approved by the 
 selectmen, and having subscribed his name to the rules and regula- 
 tions of the trustees, shall be qualified to enter upon the duties of 
 his office. The state of the treasury and security of the investment 
 
530 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 shall be examined annually by a committee chosen by the towTi, and 
 reported to the same. The trustees may remove said agent from 
 office, when, in their opinion, the safety of the fund and its proceeds 
 requires it. Said agent shall deliver to his successor in office, or to 
 the trustees, all moneys and papers pertaining to said fvmd in his 
 possession. 
 
 "4. The term of office of the trustees shall be fifteen years, except 
 that of the present board, the term of office of R. N. Porter shall 
 expire in five years, and that of Alonzo Hayes in ten years, from 
 this date. 
 
 "5. The trustees shall be chosen by the joint ballot of the two 
 remaining trustees and the selectmen, and the person having a 
 majority of their votes shall be declared elected; and the person thus 
 elected, having subscribed his name to the rules and regulations of 
 the trustees, shall be qualified to enter upon the duties of his office. 
 Vacancies occurring by death, resignation, or removal from town, 
 shall be filled in the same manner for the unexpired term. 
 
 "6. The trustees shall keep a faithful and impartial record of all 
 their appropriations and proceedings of regular meetings, and make 
 a detailed report of the same to the towTi, at the annual meeting of 
 each year. 
 
 "7. Meetings for the choice of trustees shall be called by the re- 
 maining trustees, or, in their neglect to perform this duty, by the 
 selectmen; a written notice stating the time and place of the meeting 
 having been served upon the selectmen or trustees, as the case may 
 be, one week, at least, previous to the time of holding the meeting. 
 Four members shall constitute a quorum.

 One of the earliest uses of the fund was to apply a portion 
 of the interest for the purchase of five sets of Dr. Cutter's 
 physiological charts, a tellurian globe, and ten maps of New 
 Hampshire, for the use of the schools. 
 
 Several sets of Holbrook's apparatus for the use of schools 
 were gratuitously furnished, in former years, by Jonathan K. 
 Smith.

SCHOOLS 531 
 
 "During the summer of 1890, a United States Flag was raised 
 upon a staff standing in the front yard of schoolhouse No. 6. We 
 are informed that the scholars, then in attendance at school, per- 
 formed all the labor and paid all the expenses of this manifestation 
 of loyalty and patriotism. 
 
 "On June 1, 1892, Mrs. B. W. Taggard of Boston presented to 
 No. 1 schoolhouse, at an expense of $6.41, a national flag, six feet by 
 twelve, which, on the following day, was given to the breeze from a 
 staff forty-eight feet high, presented for the purpose by Hon. Liv- 
 ingston Stone. Whole cost, $15.00. 
 
 "About Oct. 20, 1892, beautiful flags of artistic dimensions were 
 raised at schoolhouses Nos. 2, 3, and 4. Mrs. Louis Cabot of Boston 
 contributed $5.00 towards the one at No. 3. If correctly informed, 
 the flags and expenses, except in Nos. 1 and 3, were raised by resi- 
 dents of the said districts, with money enough in No. 2, in excess of 
 flag expenses, to purchase a Worcester's Quarto Dictionary for the 
 use of the school." 
 
 There is also a flag at schoolhouse No. 5. The school chil- 
 dren have all been taught to salute the flag in the proper form, 
 and these school-flags, and the due respect shown to them, 
 have done much to cultivate the true spirit of loyalty and 
 patriotism among the young people of the town. 
 
 Four-Hundredth Anniversary of the Discovery 
 OF America 
 
 The four-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Amer- 
 ica by Columbus was delightfully observed in Dublin, by 
 citizens, school children, and former residents, at 1.30 p.m., at 
 the Town Hall, on October 21, 1892. The correct day was used 
 for the celebration. By a stupid blunder, some of the states 
 have adopted October 12 for a holiday, probably because they 
 have read in histories that Columbus discovered the New 
 World on that day. But they forget, or do not know, that 
 Columbus used what we call Old Style in his reckoning. The 
 adoption of the Gregorian calendar, or New Style, puts for- 
 ward the dates of the fifteenth century nine days. Our twenty- 
 first day of October is the same as the ninth of October in the 
 Old Style (or Russian) calendar, for that century. 
 
 On the date named, the meeting was called to order by 
 Henry C. Piper, the presiding officer. The order of exercises 
 was as follows : —

 New Schoolhouse 
 
 At the annual meeting of the union school district, March 
 18, 1916, after much discussion, it was decided to build a new 
 schoolhouse in the village. The matter had been agitated for 
 
534 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 several years. As always happens, in such a case, it was diffi- 
 cult to reach an agreement upon the necessity for such a 
 schoolhouse, or upon the plans for such a building and the 
 location of it. Finally, at this meeting, the following resolu- 
 tion was adopted : — 
 
 "Resolved, that Dublin School District accept and adopt Article 
 7 of the school warrant ; — 
 
 "That the School Board constitute a committee to confer with 
 J. L. Mauran for suitable plans for the building and play grounds, 
 acceptable to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and 
 State Board of Health, and cause the same to be erected, graded, 
 fully furnished, and equipped, by September 1 of the present year; — 
 
 "That the School District instruct the School Board to borrow a 
 sum of money, not exceeding $10,000, for full payment of the same." 
 
 Article 7, to which reference was made in the first clause of 
 the resolution, was, in substance, to see if the School District 
 would vote to build a new schoolhouse and appropriate money 
 therefor. 
 
 As this work goes to the press, it is expected that work upon 
 this building will begin very soon. 
 
CHAPTER XIII 
 
 Libraries and Societies 
 
 Libraries 
 
 1 HE Dublin Social Library was established in 1793. The 
 first meeting was held October 29, and Isaac Appleton was 
 chosen clerk. A committee was chosen for purchasing books, 
 consisting of Reuben Morse, James Adams, Samuel Twitchell, 
 and Isaac Appleton. Moses Greenwood was the first librarian. 
 The cost of the first purchase of books was $56.60. The price 
 of a share in the library was two dollars. In 1795, Eli Adams 
 was chosen librarian, and his successor, in 1800, was Dr. 
 Samuel Hamilton. Other librarians were Aaron Appleton, 
 Moses Marshall, Cyrus Chamberlain, and Joseph Appleton. 
 For several years, the librarian received for his services four 
 dollars per year. In 1805, the vote was "to allow Aaron Apple- 
 ton two dollars for keeping the library." In 1798, the whole 
 number of books was ninety-three, and Moses Greenwood 
 paid Matthew Aikin of Peterborough $11.25 for covering 
 them with sheepskin. The same covers are on some of the 
 books at the present day. A privilege of reading the books 
 was granted to Rev. Edward Sprague and Rev. Elijah Wil- 
 lard. This library was incorporated in 1797, by an act of the 
 legislature; and the members were authorized "to enjoin 
 penalties of disfranchisement, or fine not exceeding three dol- 
 lars, and make, purchase, and receive subscriptions, grants, 
 and donations of personal estate, not exceeding the sum of 
 one thousand dollars, exclusive of the books contained in said 
 library." During the ten years previous to 1824, the society 
 seldom raised any money for the purchase of books; and, of 
 course, the interest of the members was much abated. 
 
 In 1824, a society was formed, and called the Dublin Lit- 
 erary Society. Its object was, not only to establish a new 
 library in town, but to hold meetings for literary purposes. 
 For several years, such meetings were held during the winter 
 season; and they were found useful for those who were em- 
 ployed as instructors in the public schools. The fee for ad- 
 
536 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 mission was two dollars, and an annual assessment of twenty- 
 five cents was required. In 1825, seventy-one volumes of 
 books were purchased, a book-case procured, and a Gardner's 
 terrestrial globe. The society was incorporated in 1824, and 
 it was allowed "to hold personal property not exceeding two 
 thousand dollars." In 1834, the price of a share was reduced 
 to one dollar and fifty cents. In 1835, the old Social Library 
 and the library of the Dublin Literary Society were united, 
 under the name of the Dublin Union Library. Rev. Levi 
 W. Leonard, D.D., was the treasurer and librarian of the 
 Dublin Literary Society and of the Dublin Union Library, 
 from their first establishment, so long as he resided perma- 
 nently in Dublin. Any person in Dublin had the privilege of 
 reading the books in the Union Library for one year, by pay- 
 ing thirty-seven and one half cents. In 1851, the whole num- 
 ber of volumes was four hundred thirty-eight. 
 
 Another library, known as the Ladies' Library, was founded 
 in 1799, and contained, in 1851, one hundred sixty-one vol- 
 umes. Mrs. Lucy Marshall, well known to all the older resi- 
 dents of Dublin, was, for many years, the librarian. 
 
 Still another library, known as the Dublin Juvenile Li- 
 brary, was instituted in 1822. The use of its books was Free 
 TO All Persons in the Town. In 1852, it had on its cata- 
 logue the titles of nineteen hundred ninety volumes. In time, 
 however, some were lost and others were worn out. After 
 1825, this library was sustained by the voluntary subscrip- 
 tion of persons in the several school-districts. 
 
 Rees's Cyclopaedia of Arts, Sciences, and Literature, con- 
 sisting of forty quarto volumes, was purchased by a company 
 organized for the purpose, in the winter of 1824. 
 
 At the annual March meeting, in 1884, the town voted to 
 establish a Town Public Library. At the annual town- 
 meeting, in March, 1890, the Dublin Union Library and the 
 Dublin Juvenile Library were united with the Town Public 
 Library, as a part of it. From remarks made at the dedica- 
 tion of the library building, it would appear that the Ladies' 
 Library was also included. 
 
 Peterborough, as well as Dublin, has claimed the honor of 
 having the first free public library. The word first may be 
 viewed from several angles. The Dublin Juvenile Library, 
 established in 1822, and which had, eventually, over nineteen 
 hundred volumes, was free to all the citizens of Dublin. It was, 
 therefore, not only a free library, but a public library. It was,. 
 
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES 537 
 
 so far as known, the first library free to the pubHc, that is, to 
 all the citizens of a town. About 1833, Peterborough estab- 
 lished a free library to be supported by public taxation. This 
 appears to have been the first town-supported free public 
 library. If, by a free public library, one mean a library sup- 
 ported by a municipality, the Peterborough library would be 
 the first from that viewpoint. If, by a free public library, one 
 mean a library that is open to the use of all the citizens of a 
 town, then Dublin can claim the honor of having the first 
 such library. 
 
 Dublin had a library which, in 1900, contained about 
 twenty-five hundred volumes, but there was no secure, or per- 
 manent, place in which to keep them. A worthy lady came 
 forward to supply this need. In 1900, Mrs. Eliza -Carey 
 Farnham graciously decided to build an edifice, of a substan- 
 tial character, for housing the books, as a memorial of her late 
 honored husband, Horace Putnam Farnham, M.D., of New 
 York City. Dr. Farnham, after his health declined, built a 
 fine summer residence in Dublin, on or near the site of the 
 second meetinghouse of the town, an engraving of which has 
 been preserved in the town history. The situation of this resi- 
 dence commanded a fine view of Monadnock and the pic- 
 turesque landscape around it. Dr. Farnham did not live to 
 enjoy it for a great length of time. 
 
 Mrs. Farnham selected for her architect Mr. John Lawrence 
 Mauran of St. Louis, also a summer resident of Dublin, and, 
 for the contractor and builder, Mr. A. L. Ball of Dublin, who 
 has since died. The building is of a beautiful design, unique 
 in many respects. It is constructed of stones carefully selected 
 from the adjacent fields, and finished inside with hard pine. 
 The apartments are well furnished, conveniently arranged, 
 and afford ample accommodations for the purposes of such 
 an institution. 
 
 The corner-stone of this building was laid, with appropriate 
 ceremonies, July 10, 1900, in the presence of a large audience, 
 including the larger portion of the summer residents of the 
 town, among whom were distinguished persons from various 
 parts of the United States. As is customary, the north-east 
 corner was selected for the stone, which was a large block of 
 native granite. In a cavity of the stone was deposited a sealed 
 metallic box, containing a copy of the Town Reports for 1900; 
 a copy of the Invoice and Taxes of the Town of Dublin for 
 1900; an obituary notice of Dr. Horace P. Farnham, in whose 
 
538 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 memory the structure was to be built; a written programme 
 of the exercises on this occasion; a roll of autographs of all the 
 school children in town; a copy of the "New Hampshire Sen- 
 tinel" for July 4, 1900; and a written statement of Mrs. Farn- 
 ham, explaining the object of the building and her intentions 
 regarding it. 
 
 The President of the day was Mr. Henry D wight Learned, 
 who called the assembly to order at 3.30 p.m. The order of 
 exercises was as follows : — 
 
 1. Scripture Reading and Prayer by Rev. Robert Collyer 
 
 of New York, N. Y. 
 
 2. Remarks by the presiding officer. 
 
 3. Statement of Mrs. Farnham regarding the purposes of 
 
 the building, read by the presiding officer. 
 
 4. Letter from Wm. S. Leonard, M.D., of Hinsdale, read 
 
 by Mr. Learned. 
 
 5. Vocal music, by a quartet, consisting of Mrs. Laura W. 
 
 Piper, Mrs. Minnie E. Leffingwell, Mr. W. B. 
 Kirk, and Mr. R. A. Dobson. 
 
 6. Depositing the box and laying the corner-stone by Mrs. 
 
 E. C. Farnham, using a new trowel and hammer.

 The following is the poem of Miss Derby: — 
 
 " In the elder days of Art, 
 
 Builders wrought with greatest care 
 Each minute and unseen part. 
 For the gods see everywhere." 
 
 — Longfellow. 
 
 Build faithfully, O workmen. 
 For the structure that ye raise 
 
 Shall be view^ed of men unborn, 
 And shall bring ye blame or praise. 
 
 Not the eyes of fabled gods. 
 
 But the eyes of men well skilled. 
 
 Shall in future years take note, 
 Asking how and why ye build. 
 
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES 539 
 
 Build reverently, O workmen. 
 
 For within this house of stone 
 There abideth deathless spirits; 
 
 Think not there are books alone. 
 
 Thoughts of saints and thoughts of sages 
 
 Speak from out the prmted page, 
 Guidmg, cheering, helping, leading. 
 
 Ever on from age to age. 
 
 But the thoughtful reader seetli 
 
 Something more than prmted word; 
 Visions that elude the artist 
 
 In his heart a chord have stirred; 
 
 Reverend forms and earnest faces 
 
 Of the little band of yore. 
 Generous pioneers of learning 
 
 Givmg from their scanty store. 
 
 That the needs of a rude people, 
 
 Strugglmg for their daily bread. 
 Might by them be satisfied 
 
 And the mental hungry fed. 
 
 Gone from out our narrow earth-life. 
 
 Entered on another sphere. 
 Still their influence remaineth, 
 
 And we think of them as here. 
 
 Here abiding still in spirit. 
 
 With the work that they begun; ^ 
 Work committed to our keeping; 
 
 Be our part as nobly done! 
 
 Build joyfully, O workmen, 
 
 'Tis no common house ye build. 
 Not a house of idle pleasure. 
 
 But a mine with treasure filled. 
 
 Treasure rich beyond our reck'ning. 
 
 Wealth untold of human brain, 
 Make the casket worth the jewel; 
 
 Sure your labor is not vain. 
 
 Build worthily, O workmen. 
 
 As the sculptor lends his skill. 
 Cunning hand and trained eye 
 
 Doing well the master's will; 
 
 ^ Rev. Dr. Leonard founded the Juvenile Library, and, in its early years, largely 
 supported it.

 The building, known as the Farnham Memorial Library, 
 was completed in the following spring. It contains a tablet of 
 bronze, in the rear of the hall, opposite the entrance, on which 
 is inscribed : — 
 
 HORACE PUTNAM FARNHAM. 
 
 BORN IN SALEM, MASS., 1824. 
 
 DIED IN NEW YORK CITY, 1886. 
 
 ERECTED BY HIS WIFE. 
 
 The structure was dedicated, June 20, 1901, in the presence of 
 a large audience of permanent residents and summer visitors. 
 Mr. Henry Dwight Learned was the master of ceremonies 
 and called the assembly to order at three o'clock in the after- 
 noon. The order of exercises on this occasion was as follows : — 
 
 1. Scripture Selections and Prayer by Rev. Robert Coll- 
 YER, D.D., of New York, N. Y.

 2. Remarks by the chairman, referring to the dedications 
 
 of former public buildings in Dublin. 
 
 3. Presentation by Mrs. Farnham of the papers conveying 
 
 the building. 
 
 4. Acceptance of the papers by Mr. Learned, to be handed 
 
 by him to the proper authorities. 
 
 5. Brief address by Rev. Robert Collyer, D.D. 
 
 6. Oration by Wm. S. Leonard, M.D., of Hinsdale, a son 
 
 of Rev. L. W. Leonard, D.D., the founder and pre- 
 server of the Juvenile Library, now merged in the col- 
 lection to be stored in this building. 
 
 7. Presentation, through Dr. Collyer, of eleven volumes of 
 
 books from Mr. William B. Weston of Milton, Mass. 
 
 8. Original Poem by Miss Emily E. Derby of Dublin. 
 
 9. Benediction by Dr. Collyer. 
 
 Mrs. Minnie E. Leffingwell has served as the librarian of 
 the Town Public Library since its establishment in 1884. She 
 has served, and is still serving, the public very efficiently in 
 that capacity. The building presented by Mrs. Farnham 
 serves the needs of the town admirably, and has proved a 
 great blessing to the community. 
 
 Dublin Lyceum 
 
 The Dublin Literary Society having united its library with 
 that of the Dublin Social Library, and entirely upon a new 
 organization, it was voted, at a meeting on the 7th of October, 
 1836, that the society resolve itself into a lyceum, and retain 
 its present form of organization and its present ofl&cers for the 
 ensuing year, viz.: Levi W. Leonard, President; Thomas Fisk, 
 Vice-President; Jonathan K. Smith, Secretary. 
 
 The lyceum thus instituted held meetings from November 
 to March in each year. Its last meeting was March 18, 1844. 
 A town Common School Association having been organized, 
 its exercises superseded those of the lyceum. The exercises of 
 the lyceum consisted of lectures, debates, and reports on vari- 
 ous subjects previously assigned. A paper called the Rural 
 Repository was read at each meeting, containing voluntary 
 communications from different persons of both sexes. The 
 persons who officiated as presidents of this lyceum were Rufus 
 Piper, Hervey Learned, Thomas Fisk, and Jonathan K. Smith. 
 
 In 1839, the young people of Dublin formed a "Society for 
 Mutual Improvement," which was usually called the "Young 
 
542 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Lyceum." The^y held meetings every other Wednesday eve- 
 ning, alternating with the Dublin Lyceum, which in the pre- 
 vious years had met every week. The exercises in the young 
 people's society were — a lecture occasionally, declamations, 
 the reading of a paper called the "Ladies' Miscellany," an- 
 other called "Wednesday Evening Post," which was fol- 
 lowed by a debate on some subject previously announced. 
 
 The following are the names of some of the persons who 
 gratuitously delivered lectures before one or the other of the 
 above-mentioned lyceums: Rev. A. A. Livermore of Keene; 
 Charles Mason, Esq., of Fitchburg, Mass.; Roswell D. Hitch- 
 cock, preceptor of Jaffrey Academy (Melville Academj^); 
 Amos A. Parker, Esq., of Fitzwilliam; Rev. Stillman Clark 
 and John Conant, Esq., of Jaffrey; Harry Brickett of Melville 
 Academy, Jaffrey; Rev. C. Cutler, Dr. Albert Smith, Hon. 
 John H. Steele, Mr. Addison White, David J. Clarke, Esq., 
 Frederick S. Ainsworth, and George Walker of Peterborough. 
 
 The meetings of the Common School Association were held 
 during the winter months in the several school-districts, two 
 or more in each week. The meetings of this association were 
 often well attended; and they have been regarded as exerting 
 a favorable influence upon the schools. Lectures were deliv- 
 ered on educational subjects; and a great variety of topics, 
 relating to the instruction, discipline, and improvement of 
 common schools, were discussed in a free and social manner. 
 The meetings of this association were continued in the winter 
 of 1853-54 and, for a short time, afterwards. 
 
 The annals of Dublin, for a series of five years, beginning 
 with 1839, were prepared by the pastor of the First Congre- 
 gational (Unitarian) Church, Mr. Leonard, and read, at the 
 close of each year, before the Dublin Lyceum. Although the 
 events of a town "remote from cities" may prove of little or 
 no importance in the history of a state, yet many things valua- 
 ble and interesting for the descendants of the people may thus 
 be preserved. Had the annals of Dublin been written and 
 preserved from the time of its first settlement, they would 
 have saved the committee of publication a great amount of 
 time and labor, and have prevented most of the errors which 
 may be discovered with regard to dates. The records kept by 
 a town-clerk contain only a small part of what is necessary to 
 a full historj^ of a place.

 Altemont Lodge, A. F. & A. M. 
 
 The charter of Altemont Lodge, No. 26, which was estab- 
 Hshed in Dublin, was granted, June 14, Anno Lucis 5815 
 (June 14, 1815), by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of New 
 Hampshire, to Amos Heald, Stephen Harrington, Richard 
 Strong, Adam Johnson, Levi Fisk, Joseph Hayward,.Jr., Asa 
 Fisk, Benjamin Hills, and Alexander Millikin. A dispensation 
 from the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire "empowered the 
 said Amos Heald and others to assemble at Dublin as a Lodge 
 of Masons, to perfect themselves in the several duties of Ma- 
 sonry; to make choice of officers; to make regulations and by- 
 laws, and to admit candidates in the first degree of Masonry, 
 all according to ancient customs of Masonry, and to be called 
 Altemont Lodge." This warrant of dispensation was to con- 
 tinue in full force and authority till the second Wednesday of 
 June, Anno Lucis 5816 (June 12, 1816), unless the Lodge was 
 sooner installed. The first meeting, by virtue of the dispensa- 
 tion, was held at Freemasons' (Cyrus Chamberlain's) Hall in 
 Dublin, July 3, Anno Lucis 5815 (July 3, 1815). That hall 
 was in the house now owned and occupied by Wilfred M. 
 Fiske, but which stood, at that time, on the site now occupied 
 by the Unitarian meetinghouse. When this edifice was built, 
 in 1852, that dwelling was moved a few rods to the east, to its 
 present location. 
 
 The first officers of the lodge were: Amos Heald, Worship- 
 ful Master; Stephen Harrington, Senior Warden; Richard 
 Strong, Junior Warden; Asa Fisk, Treasurer; Peter Tuttle, 
 Secretary; Levi Fisk, Senior Deacon; William Warren, Junior 
 Deacon; Aaron Lawrence, Joseph Gowing, Stewards; David 
 Ames, Jr., Tyler. 
 
 At this meeting, Asa Fisk, Richard Strong, and Levi Fisk 
 were chosen a committee to report by-laws for the government 
 of the lodge; and, at the next meeting, the by-laws were en- 
 acted as reported by the committee. The by-laws contained 
 thirty-two articles, and were signed by the ofiicers and mem- 
 bers of the lodge. 
 
 On the 18th day of September, Anno Lucis 5816 (September 
 18, 1816), the lodge was consecrated in form by Right Worship- 
 ful Broughton White, Deputy Grand Master, and the officers 
 duly installed. A sermon was delivered on the occasion by Rev. 
 Thomas Beede of Wilton, who, at that time, held the ofiice of 
 Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire. 
 
544 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 At a meeting of the lodge, May 7, Anno Lncis 5816 (May 7, 
 1816), the followmg vote was passed: "Voted to exclude the 
 use of ardent spirit in this lodge, and substitute therefor 
 crackers, cheese, and cider." 
 
 The subject of removing the lodge from Dublin to Peter- 
 borough began to be agitated at a communication of the lodge, 
 held at their hall in Dublin, May 15, Anno Lucis 5825 (May 
 15, 1825); when Worshipfuls Amos Heald, Peter Tuttle, and 
 Levi Fisk, and Brothers Henry Whitcomb and Oliver Heald 
 were chosen a committee to report whether, in their opinion, 
 the interest of Masonry would be promoted by a removal of 
 this lodge from Dublin to Peterborough. This committee re- 
 ported, "that, if the lodge can be removed from Dublin to 
 Peterborough without disturbing the harmony of the lodge, it 
 will be for the good of Masonry to have it removed." The 
 report was accepted and measures were taken, which resulted 
 in the removal of the lodge to Bernard Whittemore's Hall in 
 Peterborough. Few, if any, of the Masons in Dublin continued 
 to be regular attendants of the communications of the lodge 
 after the removal. One after another, as appears by the rec- 
 ords, withdrew his active membership. It is said that some 
 never met with the lodge again. The old Dublin members 
 were Richard Strong, Adam Johnson, Joseph Appleton, Henry 
 Whitcomb, Eli Greenwood, Jr., Jonas Clark, Robert Muzzy, 
 Asa Fisk, Joseph Hayward, Jr., Samuel Davison, Asa Heald, 
 Charles Mason, Moses Marshall, Joseph Gowing, Cyrus 
 Chamberlain, Elijah B. Kimball, Benjamin Perry, Simeon 
 Stanley, and Gilbert Tuel. 
 
 June 24, 1822, St. John's day, was celebrated by Altemont 
 Lodge, on which occasion a discourse was delivered by Rev. 
 Seth E. Winslow, then a minister of Troy, N. H. 
 
 The membership of this lodge included men from the ad- 
 joining towns. Stephen Harrington was from Nelson and 
 afterwards moved to Keene. His wife was a daughter of 
 Joseph Hayward of Dublin. His son, Asaph Harrington, was 
 for many years the well-known proprietor of the old Eagle 
 Hotel at Keene. He had a daughter who married Benaiah 
 Cooke, the editor for a long time of the " Cheshire Republican" 
 at Keene, who built the house, later occupied by Rev. W. O. 
 White and the Dinsmoors, recently purchased for the uses of 
 the Keene High School. Peter Tuttle was a physician of Han- 
 cock. He died, in that town, March 13, 1828, and his funeral 
 service was conducted by Altemont Lodge of Freemasons, of 
 
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES 545 
 
 which he was then the Master. WilHam Warren lived in Sul- 
 livan. He lost his life in a storm, on the Great Lakes, in 1827. 
 David Ames, Jr., lived in Hancock. He was a deputy-sheriff. 
 He moved, in the twenties, to the western part of the state of 
 New York, where he died in 1848. Aaron Lawrence was a 
 farmer in Hancock. He moved to Weston, Vt., where he died, 
 August 17, 1838. Hon, Levi Fisk was a prominent citizen of 
 Jaffrey. He was in the state senate in 1835-36. Amos Heald 
 was the head of the firm who built and, for some time, owned 
 the brick cotton mill at Munsonville, later operated by Mr. 
 Munson, and, still later, converted into a chair factory. 
 Oliver Heald lived in Nelson, near Munsonville. Henry Whit- 
 comb, when a young man, seems to have been in Dublin for a 
 time. After his marriage, he lived in Hancock, and was the 
 partner of his brother, John Whitcomb, in a general store. He 
 represented his town in the General Court. His death resulted 
 from the kick of a horse. There were other lodge members 
 from the towns named, and, eventually, a great part of the 
 members lived in Peterborough, which finally resulted in the 
 removal of the lodge to that town, where it still flourishes. 
 
 Right Worshipful Broughton White, the District Deputy 
 Grand Master, who constituted the lodge September 18, 1816, 
 was a resident of Westmoreland and a prominent citizen of 
 that town. 
 
 Later members of this Lodge from Dublin have been Charles 
 A. Upton, Isaac N. Leathers, and Samuel Adams, Jr., each of 
 whom is deceased, and the following living in 1916: Milton D. 
 Mason, Henry D. Allison (a Past Master of the Lodge), Wil- 
 fred M. Fiske, Walter B. Bailey, George B. Leighton, Leon A. 
 Fairbanks, Lewis D. Eaves, Arthur T. Appleton, Herman H. 
 Priest, Edgar H. Tuttle, Maurice S. Tuttle, George L. Tuttle, 
 Theodore G. Safford, and Nehemiah A. Towne. 
 
 The Temperance Reformation 
 
 It was not easy for the first settlers of Dublin to obtain in- 
 toxicating drink; even cider must have been scarce, for then 
 orchards were not grown. But, as in those days the moderate 
 use of rum was not considered injurious, the article was oc- 
 casionally introduced. It appears from the book in which Eli 
 Morse kept his accounts, that he sold not only corn and rye 
 from his grist-mill and boards from his saw-mill, but some 
 other articles, such as paper, leather, scythes; and, in 1770, 
 
546 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 there is the following heading, extending across two pages: 
 "An account of what rum each man hath drawd." The draw- 
 ing of this rum was continued from the last of April to the 
 first of September, and the whole quantity drawn was twenty- 
 eight gallons and one quart. It would seem, therefore, that a 
 barrel of rum had held out four months. The quantity of rum 
 used in town increased with the facilities for obtaining it. 
 The selling of it was deemed a creditable occupation. From 
 receipts left by Thomas Morse, it appears that he paid excise 
 on spirituous liquor which he sold in 1773-75. One of these 
 receipts, for the sum of fifteen shillings and fourpence, is 
 signed by Richard Jenness. Another, dated Keene, January 
 11, 1774, is signed by Robert Gillmore. 
 
 No licenses to keep tavern and sell spirituous liquor are 
 recorded till 1793, when James Adams, widow Betty Strong- 
 man, and John Morse were licensed to keep tavern, and Philip 
 Mills and Joseph Hayward to retail spirituous liquor. In 
 1794, Eli Greenwood was licensed to keep a tavern. In the 
 same year, Eli Adams was licensed as a retailer of liquors and 
 an innholder. These licenses were renewed from year to year. 
 Among those who engaged in this business are found Aaron 
 Appleton, Nathan Whittemore, Samuel Hamilton, Moses 
 Marshall, Joseph Rollins, John Strong, Whitcomb French, 
 Robert White, Jonathan Flood Southwick, Cyrus Chamber- 
 lain, Moses Wark, Joseph Appleton, Cyrus Piper, Asa Heald, 
 Joseph Morse, Gordon Gould, and some others. 
 
 The customs of Dublin with regard to the use of intoxicat- 
 ing drinks were the same as in other places of the vicinity. 
 On funeral occasions, liquor was handed round to the mourn- 
 ers; and, though many did not approve of it, yet none had the 
 independence to discontinue the practice, till some of the 
 principal inhabitants agreed to do so in case of a funeral in 
 their families. In this way, the practice was generally abol- 
 ished, before a society was formed for the promotion of tem- 
 perance. In April, 1833, Jonathan Kittredge, Esq., of Canaan, 
 N. H., agent of a temperance society, gave a lecture in the 
 First Church; after which, fifty persons agreed to organize as 
 a society, and take the pledge of abstinence from all distilled 
 liquors.^ On May 5, 1833, the society was organized by the 
 choice of the following officers: Samuel Adams, President; 
 Jesse Morse, Vice-President; Jonathan K. Smith, Secretary; 
 and Thomas Fisk, Luke Richardson, Ebenezer Perry, and 
 Daniel Fiske, Executive Committee. In succeeding years, the 
 
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES 547 
 
 efforts of this society were attended with various success. On 
 the fourth of July, 1839, there was, in the forenoon, a celebra- 
 tion of the Declaration of Independence in the usual form. 
 The Dublin Grenadier Company paraded; a procession was 
 formed, and marched to Centre meetinghouse; where a prayer 
 was offered by Rev. James Tisdale, the Declaration of Inde- 
 pendence read by Dr. Albert Smith of Peterborough, and an 
 address delivered by Rev. L. W. Leonard; after which, the 
 procession was again formed, and proceeded to the American 
 Hotel (now called the Lower Inn), in front of which, under 
 an arbor, a dinner was provided by Mr. Joseph Morse. In 
 the afternoon of the same day, there was a temperance cele- 
 bration, with an address by John Preston, Esq., of New Ips- 
 wich. According to a resolution of the Dublin Temperance 
 Society, lectures were delivered in the several school-districts; 
 and, in the course of the season, sixty new members were 
 added; making, in the whole, three hundred thirty. 
 
 In 1841, the temperance reformation received a new im- 
 pulse from those who had themselves been intemperate. The 
 societies formed under this impulse were generally called 
 Washingtonian Societies. Their pledge was total abstinence 
 from all intoxicating drinks. Many old societies were reorgan- 
 ized with this pledge in their constitutions. In March, 1842, 
 the Young People's Total Abstinence Society was formed in 
 Dublin; and, before the close of the year, the number of names 
 subscribed to its pledge was three hundred thirty-one. About 
 one hundred of these were on the pledge of the former society. 
 The whole number of persons, therefore, that had subscribed 
 to temperance pledges, up to January, 1843, was five hundred 
 thirty. The officers of the Total Abstinence Society in 1842 
 were: President, Thaddeus P. Mason; Vice-Presidents, Augus- 
 tine Wood, Corydon Jones, Charles B. Marshall; Recording 
 Secretary, James Hay ward; Corresponding Secretary, Charles 
 B. Marshall; Treasurer, Henry Hathorne. September 7, 1842, 
 a lecture was delivered in the Centre meetinghouse by J. H. 
 W. Hawkins. 
 
 There was a second temperance celebration in Dublin on 
 the 4th of July, 1843. Rev. Zebulon Jones of Peterborough 
 delivered an address, and a collation was provided by the 
 ladies, in the grove on the side of Beech Hill, back of the 
 Brick Church (which stood near the site of the residence of 
 John A. Gleason). In 1844, July 4th, the pupils of all the 
 summer schools, with their teachers, assembled first in the 
 
548 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Centre meetinghouse, where Mr. Nelson Scott of Hancock 
 delivered an appropriate address; after which, the pupils, 
 parents, and others repaired to the grove above mentioned, 
 where, after partaking of refreshments, sentiments were an- 
 nounced and speeches made. This celebration was conducted 
 on the principles of temperance, and had the good effect of 
 increasing an interest in the welfare of common schools. 
 
 The legislature passed a law in 1843, by which it was left 
 optional with the selectmen of a town to license or not the sale 
 of intoxicating drinks as a beverage. At the annual meeting, 
 in March, 1844, the license-question was the main point in 
 the choice of selectmen. The party opposed to granting 
 licenses prevailed, casting one hundred thirty votes against 
 fifty-eight. Since that time, no license for the sale of intoxi- 
 cating drinks as a beverage has been granted in Dublin. An 
 address, delivered by Charles Mason, Esq., of Fitchburg, 
 Mass., November 18, 1844, on taking legal measures to re- 
 strict the sale of intoxicating drinks, was published at the 
 request of the hearers. 
 
 Bible Society 
 
 A Ladies' Bible Association was formed in 1828, auxiliary 
 to the New Hampshire Bible Society; and a contribution was 
 forwarded to the parent society, each year, for many years, 
 until some time in the fifties. That association constituted 
 the following persons life-members of the New Hampshire 
 Bible Society: Mrs. L. W. Leonard, Rev. James Tisdale, Rev. 
 Henry A. Kendall, Rev. Alonzo Hayes. Deacon Francis Ap- 
 pleton, by his own subscription, was constituted a life-member 
 of the same society. In the year 1824, Rev. Levi W. Leonard 
 was made a life-member of the American Bible Society by the 
 subscription of seventy ladies of his congregation, collected 
 by Mrs. Mary Warren. 
 
 Peterborough Cavalry 
 
 We are indebted to the politeness of Mr. Clifford Gowing 
 for the following facts respecting the Peterborough Cavalry, 
 of which many Dublin men have been members: — 
 
 "After the close of the great Civil War, in which Dublin suffered 
 so severely, the military spirit of the town lay somewhat dormant 
 for several years; but, in 1876, the martial spirit again began to 
 make itself evident and found expression by the joining of a military 
 
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES 549 
 
 company in Peterborough by about fifteen of our leading citizens. 
 This company was known as the Peterborough Cavahy, which had 
 been organized in that town, in 1872, by Daniel M. White, Captain. 
 The Peterborough Cavalry, at that time, was an independent volun- 
 teer company, armed only with the sabre, and without pay ; the arm, 
 uniform, and horse equipments being furnished by the state, but 
 each man had to furnish his own horse. From time to time, others 
 joined, and, at the reorganization of the New Hampshire militia, 
 every member from Dublin reenlisted and the men became members 
 of Troop A, 1st N.H. Cavalry, N.H.N.G. Several of the offices of 
 the Troop have been held by Dublin men, among whom were two 
 buglers, several corporals, several sergeants, one first sergeant, and 
 two lieutenants. The personnel of the Peterborough Cavalry was 
 composed of men from the best citizens of Peterborough, Dublin, 
 Jaffrey, Temple, Greenfield, Bennington, Hancock, and Harrisville, 
 and the Troop, which is prosperous today, owes much of its life to 
 the personnel of its former members." 
 
 Since those words were written, this Troop has obeyed the 
 summons of President Wilson and gone to the border in 
 Texas, to be ready for any duty that may in future devolve 
 upon them. We are still hoping to be spared from any serious 
 diflSculty with the neighboring nation to the south-west of us, 
 but, if any emergency should arise, we are certain that the 
 Peterborough Cavalry will do its full duty like brave men.

 tion, with the dates of the enlistments:

 Dublin Town Improvement Society 
 
 This society was organized about eighteen years ago, and 
 adopted its constitution, August 29, 1898. Its object was to 
 enlist the cooperation of all residents of the town in preserving 
 the natural beauties and advantages of the region, in promot- 
 ing the general welfare, and in carrying forward such improve- 
 ments as may from time to time seem fitting and necessary. 
 Any resident or taxpayer of Dublin, of either sex, or any per- 
 son spending the summer in Dublin, could become a member 
 of the society. The trifling assessment of fifty cents was an- 
 nually levied upon each member. The society was not to incur 
 a debt exceeding a hundred dollars beyond the funds on hand 
 in the treasury, without express authority from the society. 
 Money contributed for a specific purpose could be used for no 
 other purpose. The first President of the society was Col. 
 Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the first Vice-President, Henry 
 D wight Learned; the first Secretary, Henry D. Allison; the 
 first Treasurer, John G. Townsend; the Finance Committee 
 consisted of George B. Leigh ton, Francis M. Jencks, and Mrs. 
 Sarah G. Pierce; and the Executive Committee consisted of 
 Franklin MacVeagh, Henry H. Piper, Willard H. Pierce, 
 James H. Frothingham, and Clesson E. Gowing.

 Society for Betterment of Child Labor Conditions 
 
 In August, 1909, the Dublin Society for the Betterment of 
 Child Labor Conditions was organized, with Joseph Lindon 
 Smith for President; Dr. Alfred H. Childs, Vice-President; 
 Gerard C. Henderson, Secretary; and Henry D. Allison, 
 Treasurer. An Executive Committee was appointed, consisting 
 of Miss Georgiana Hopkins, Miss Mary Lionberger, George 
 DeForest Brush, Arthur T. Appleton, and Daniel K. Catlin. 
 The objects of the society were well indicated by its name and 
 were in harmony with the general objects of similar societies 
 throughout the country, which are endeavoring to induce 
 legislatures and Congress to pass laws looking to the ameliora- 
 tion of the condition of children whose ignorant, sometimes 
 brutal, parents, instigated by capitalists, compel them to work 
 to earn money to support their families, with no regard for their 
 education or training in other respects. 
 
 The Dublin Welfare Association 
 
 This society was formed in 1912. Its objects were to look 
 after the roads, sanitation, forestry, and town planning. Sev- 
 enty-four names were originally signed to the constitution. 
 The first President was George D. Markham; Vice-Presidents, 
 Milton D. Mason and Arthur Jeffrey Parsons; and Secretary, 
 John A. Gleason. Committees were appointed to look after 
 sanitation, forestry, roads, town planning, agriculture, and 
 social conditions. The first report by the Governing Commit- 
 tees of the association was submitted, September 1, 1913. 
 They stated that "one year's test had proved that this Asso- 
 ciation has brought that cordial cooperation between the per- 
 manent residents of Dublin and the summer residents which 
 is so necessary to the interests of both and has been so long 
 hoped for." The society has given special attention to roads. 
 In the village, they have secured the grounding of the tele- 
 phone wires, the establishment of the little plat known as 
 "The Green," between the two stores, and encouraged so far 
 as possible the building of a new schoolhouse and the altera- 
 tions to the front of the Town Hall. The sanitation committee, 
 in conjunction with the Dublin Laboratory, already mentioned, 
 and the board of health, has been of the highest service in pro- 
 tecting the water supply, and has made progress in dealing 
 with the mosquito and fly pests. The forestry committee was 
 
552 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 not successful in procuring a satisfactory law to prevent 
 "slashing" in timber cutting in this section, but it has aided 
 in precautions against forest fires. This society was of influ- 
 ence in securing the laying out of the South Boulevard across 
 the State, through Dublin, from the Connecticut River to the 
 Atlantic Ocean. It is a circuitous route, secured in part, un- 
 doubtedly, through the influence of public men who were 
 selfishly working for their own interests and those of their 
 own towns, but it places Dublin in the list of Boulevard towns. 
 This society is still in a flourishing condition, and the village 
 and town in general are indebted to it and its promoters for 
 many valuable improvements. 
 
 MoNADNOcK Grange, Patrons of Husbandry 
 
 Early in October, 1884, W. H. Stinson, Grand Master of the 
 order in this state, came to Dublin and addressed a gathering 
 in the Town Hall upon the work, aims, and value of the Grange 
 organization. A paper was then circulated and sixteen men 
 and women were found ready and willing to join such a local 
 organization. They were: Samuel Adams, Henry Dwight 
 Learned, Warren L. Fiske, Corydon Jones, John E. Baldwin, 
 Frank H. Stockwell, George E. Matthews, Jabez B. Town- 
 send, Charles F. Appleton, Mrs. Jane M. Adams, Mrs. Eva 
 A. Learned, Mrs. Emily M. Fiske, Mrs. Lilian G. Appleton, 
 Miss Sarah F. Townsend, Miss Kate A. Adams (afterwards 
 Mrs. Townsend), and Mrs. Fannie M. Matthews. 
 
 The persons named above were initiated into the Order of 
 the Patrons of Husbandry, October 14, 1884, and organized 
 the society known as Monadnock Grange, No. 103, of Dublin, 
 N. H. They were the charter members. As a large portion 
 of Monadnock Mountain is in Dublin, no explanation of the 
 name is necessary. 
 
 The first officers of this Grange were: Samuel Adams, 
 Master; Henry Dwight Learned, Overseer; Warren L. Fiske, 
 Lecturer; Charles F. Appleton, Steward; John E. Baldwin, 
 Assistant Steward; Mrs. Eva A. Learned, Chaplain; Corydon 
 Jones, Treasurer; Miss Sarah F. Townsend, Secretary; 
 George E. Matthews, Gate Keeper; Miss Kate A. Adams 
 (afterwards Mrs. Townsend), Pomona; Mrs. Fannie M. 
 Matthews, Flora; Mrs. Jane M. Adams, Ceres; Mrs. Lilian 
 G. Appleton, Lady Assistant Steward. 
 
 The following persons have served as Masters of this Grange 
 
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES 553 
 
 to 1916: Samuel Adams, Henry Dwight Learned, Warren L. 
 Fiske, Fred. C. Gowing, Fred. A. Pierce, Arthur Wright, Wil- 
 fred M. Fiske, Frank P. Fiske, Elmer H. Eaves, Mrs. Sarah G. 
 Royce, Henry N. Gowing, Maurice S. Tuttle, Edwin G, 
 Kemp, and Everett M. Hannaford. 
 
 The Lecturers have been: Warren L. Fiske, Mrs. Jennie N. 
 Gowing, Rev. George W^. Patten (of the Unitarian church), 
 Mrs. Kate A. Townsend, Frank P. Fiske, Mrs. Jane E. Powers, 
 Mrs. Mabel J. Fiske, Mrs. Sarah G. Royce, Miss Ina Eaves, 
 Mrs. Kate A. Townsend (second term). Miss Mabel E. May, 
 Mrs. Eva A. Learned, Mrs. Lilian G. Appleton, Mrs. Harriet E. 
 Preston, and Mrs. Ethel M. Craig. The following have been 
 Assistant Lecturers: Mrs. Sarah G. Pierce, Mrs. Louisa B. 
 Willard, and Mrs. Idella M. Carey. 
 
 The duties of those who fill the office of Secretary are always 
 more or less difficult. The following persons have acceptably 
 filled this office: Miss Sarah F. Townsend, Mrs. Kate A. 
 Townsend, Mrs. Hannah M. Fiske, Miss Alice M. Gowing, 
 Wilfred M. Fiske, and Mrs. Grace B. Scribner. 
 
 The musical exercises interspersed with the Grange services 
 have added greatly to their interest. The following have 
 served as choristers: Charles M. Townsend, Mrs. Idella M. 
 Carey, Mrs. Ada L. Preston, Miss Ella Porter, Edwin G. 
 Kemp, and Mrs. Bessie M. Kemp. 
 
 A Grange paper was edited and presented to the society by 
 Miss Idella M. Fiske (afterwards Mrs. Carey), January 19, 
 1886, called "The Evening Star." Its publication has been 
 continued since, at irregular intervals. Its articles have been 
 interesting and entertaining and added much to the enjoy- 
 ment of the meetings. 
 
 Dublin has never failed to sustain social and literary asso- 
 ciations for the education and improvement of the inhabitants, 
 and the Grange came at an opportune time to assist in such 
 work, and has been not only of much benefit to its members, 
 but to the community as well. 
 
 Note. The facts respecting the Grange were communicated by Warren L. Fiske, 
 Esq., the oldest person (1916) in Dublin. 
 
CHAPTER XIV 
 
 Miscellaneous Matters of Interest 
 Hardships of Early Settlers 
 
 kJf the hardships endured by those who first came to Dublin, 
 it is not easy for the present generation to form an adequate 
 conception. It is true their situation was somewhat amelio- 
 rated by their proximity to Peterborough, where a grist-mill 
 was in operation; but, during the deep snows of winter, the 
 roads were impassable for oxen or horses. It is related that 
 Mrs. William Greenwood, one morning in winter, put on 
 snow-shoes, took half a bushel of corn on her shoulder, went 
 by marked trees to Peterborough, had it ground into meal, 
 and returned to Dublin the same day. 
 
 The first log cabins, as they had been described to us by 
 Benjamin Marshall, were rude structures. Neither bricks, 
 nails, nor boards were accessible; and, for dwelling places, the 
 pioneers in the settlement built with logs what would now be 
 called a pen, in dimensions about fifteen feet by twelve, having 
 two doors, one on the south side, and the other on the east. 
 For a roof, they took spruce bark, and tied it to poles by means 
 of withes or twisted twigs. For a cellar, they dug the loose 
 earth from the top of the ground, piled up logs on three sides, 
 then, with bark and dirt, the whole was so covered as to ex- 
 clude the frost. For a floor, they split white ash into planks, 
 and smoothed them with a narrow axe. One man, it is said, 
 was at great expense to procure boards for a roof; but, having 
 made shingles, he fastened them to the boards by wooden pegs. 
 For a chimney, they laid stone up to the mantel-tree, and then 
 split laths, built them up cob-house fashion, and plastered 
 inside and outside with clay mortar. If a few bricks could be 
 obtained, they would lay up a pile of flat stones two or three 
 rods from the house, and construct an oven on the top of the 
 pile, using clay for mortar. New-comers were in the practice 
 of taking their dough to their neighbor's oven, when one was 
 near enough, or they baked their bread on the stone hearth by 
 their own fire.

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS OP INTEREST 555 
 
 Though bears were occasionally troublesome, yet their 
 flesh was sometimes used as food, when they could be caught. 
 Eli Greenwood, son of William Greenwood, used to relate, 
 that, before he was of age, he, with his father and brother, 
 came up at times to the west part of the town to work upon 
 the lots which had been given them, and that, on one occasion, 
 they had for several days no other meat than a quarter of an 
 old bear baked. He added that his father, as twelve o'clock 
 approached, was wont to say, "We had better not eat dinner 
 till late; for, if we eat early, we shall not be hungry enough 
 to get down much of the old bear." 
 
 In the year 1781, Aaron Marshall was troubled with bears 
 in his cornfield. He set two guns at the place where the bear 
 entered the field. The neighbors, being together at a husking, 
 heard the report of the guns, and all went to see how it fared 
 with the bear. They found him dead, carried him to the house, 
 laid him down on the floor, pulled Benjamin Marshall, then a 
 small boy, out of bed, and placed him on the back of the bear. 
 
 Wolves were troublesome as late as the year 1790. One 
 night in December of that year, they entered the barn-yard 
 of Aaron Marshall, killed five or six sheep, and ate them 
 nearly all up. On opening the door in the morning, a sheep 
 stood on the step with an icicle of blood hanging to her throat. 
 About the same time, a lynx or catamount attacked Mr. 
 Marshall's geese, of which the old gander gave warning by 
 running to the house-door, and screaming at the top of his 
 voice. The animal was caught the next night in a trap set for 
 the purpose. 
 
 One evening in the year 1772, the wife of Ebenezer Cobb, 
 who lived on lot eight, range nine, heard her pig squeal, as if 
 in great distress. She caught her broom, ran to the pen, and 
 found a bear holding her pig by the top of his neck. Not 
 willing to lose her pig, she began to pound the bear with her 
 broom, calling at the same time for help; and she drove him 
 off, and saved her pig, before any help came. 
 
 Mrs. Ivory Perry, after she was ninety years of age, was 
 heard to say that, in the winter, she used, in the early days of 
 the town, to ride to meeting on an ox-sled, but that she some- 
 times went on foot. Returning alone from meeting, one Sun- 
 day afternoon, she saw a wolf near where John Brooks once 
 lived. The wolf was walking along by the side of the road. 
 She thought it was a dog; but, on seeing afterwards a stuffed 
 wolf-skin, she recognized it as belonging to the same kind of 
 
556 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 animal that she saw on the road. Mrs. Perry said that they 
 were sometimes obliged to cut up their corn to prevent bears 
 from destroying it. On one occasion, she went to the corn- 
 field at the beginning of twilight to gather ears of corn. She 
 had filled her apron; and her son John, then a small boy, had 
 filled a basket. John suddenly screamed out, "Mother, there 
 is a bear!" The bear sat up on his haunches, eating green 
 corn. She called the dog, but he did not come; and the bear, 
 apparently undisturbed, continued eating, while she and her 
 son walked away. The bear was seen again the next evening. 
 
 The habitations of the early settlers were not always sub- 
 stantial log cabins; but sometimes they were temporary huts 
 rather loosely put together, and, in one instance certainly, 
 affording small protection against the inclemency of the 
 weather. We have good authority for the following statement : 
 Thomas Atwood, who settled on lot twenty-one, range six, 
 came to Dublin in the autumn, and lived the first winter in a 
 kind of shanty which had no chimney; the fire was made 
 against the perpendicular side of a large rock. In the course 
 of the winter, they had a child born during a storm of rain. 
 The only way they could contrive to prevent the rain from 
 falling on Mrs. Atwood was to extend over her a side of leather 
 which had been recently purchased. 
 
 During the period of the Revolutionary War, there were 
 many instances of severe hardship. Those women especially 
 whose husbands were in the army experienced heavy trials. 
 We give an instance of one which exhibits both patriotic forti- 
 tude and enduring domestic toil and perseverance. It is taken 
 from a "Sketch of the Life of Nathaniel Belknap," by his son, 
 Lawson Belknap : — 
 
 "In the summer of 1779, the situation of the American 
 army became somewhat critical, and a call was made for more 
 troops. Richard Gilchrest was selected to go; but the situation 
 of his family was such as to make it necessary for him to be 
 at home. He requested Mr. Belknap to go in his stead. Mr. 
 Belknap said he would go, if his wife were willing. After the 
 situation of the army and the necessity of more men were 
 explained to her, Mr. Belknap put the question, 'Are you 
 willing I should go?' It was a trying moment, even for a 
 woman of the Revolution. She had two small children, the 
 oldest but two and a half years old, three cows, and some 
 other young stock, and her husband would not return before 
 mid- winter. She turned to Mr. Gilchrest, and said, 'If we are 
 
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS OF INTEREST 557 
 
 sick or need help, will you assist us?' His answer was, 'Yes.' 
 Then, turning to her husband, she said, 'You may go and 
 fight, Mr. Gilchrest will take care of us.' During Mr. Belknap's 
 absence, Mrs. Belknap took care of her children and cattle. 
 Mr. Gilchrest assisted in bad weather, harvested her corn and 
 potatoes; and she worked at her loom so much that money 
 enough was earned to purchase another cow, which she bought 
 and paid for before her husband's return. Mr. Belknap served 
 six months, was promoted to the post of orderly sergeant, 
 and was discharged in Rhode Island at the time of the great 
 snow-storm, 1780. He was engaged in no general battle, but 
 took part in several skirmishes, in one of which his right-hand 
 man fell, and he saw his cousin's head split open by a British 
 sabre. He received pay for his services in paper money; the 
 worth of which may be judged from the fact, that, while on 
 his way home, he paid fifty dollars for a pair of snow-shoes, 
 twenty-five dollars for a meal of victuals, and five dollars for 
 a glass of brandy." 
 
 From Mr. Belknap's "Sketch," we make a few more excerpts; 
 as the facts stated indicate, in some respects, the general hard- 
 ships of the early settlers : — 
 
 "When Mr. Belknap moved his wife to Dublin, her marriage 
 portion from her father was one cow. As the grass on the 
 newly cleared land was abundant, there was a large supply 
 of milk, a part of which was lost for want of suitable vessels. 
 These could not be obtained at a nearer distance than New 
 Ipswich. Mr. Belknap started one morning on foot for New 
 Ipswich, with a bag under his arm to bring home whatever 
 utensils he might purchase. He procured two earthen pots; 
 one of which he put in each end of his bag, and placed them 
 on his shoulder. On returning homeward, he met one of his 
 townsmen in Peterborough, who kindly offered to carry his 
 pots to Dublin. From the rough condition of the roads, or, 
 as Belknap rather thought, in consequence of having taken 
 too much flip, his friend let the pots swing together, and one 
 of them was broken and spoiled; and thus, after a journey 
 through the woods of more than thirty miles, he returned with 
 only one pot." 
 
 "Mr. Belknap suffered his part of loss from the destruction 
 of sheep by wolves. He had increased his flock to the number 
 of eight, and was not a little elated with the hope of having a 
 plenty of the warm woollens — which his wife well knew how 
 to manufacture — wherewith to clothe himself and family. 
 
558 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 But, going one morning to the rear of his buildings, he found 
 the mangled remains of his sheep, all of which had been torn 
 in pieces by the wolves; and, with them, his faithful dog, that, 
 in attempting to protect the property of his master, had shared 
 the same fate. On another occasion, he had eleven out of 
 thirteen sheep killed in a single night." 
 
 "Mr. Belknap had erected a barn large enough to hold all 
 his crops; but, on the 20th of October, 1788, a severe thunder- 
 storm passed over the town, and his barn was struck by light- 
 ning, and his hay, grain, and potatoes, with all his farming 
 tools, were destroyed. Nothing was saved except a single 
 pumpkin, which his son, seven years old, rescued from the 
 burning building, and rolled down the hill almost to the next 
 neighbor's. The people of the town immediately turned out, 
 and erected another frame on the same foundation, and, in 
 a short space of time, the new barn was completed." 
 
 For many years after the first settlement of Dublin, there 
 were but few sleighs. The travelling was all on foot or on horse- 
 back. The practice, from the south part of the town to the 
 great road, was, when the snow became deep, to begin at 
 Twitchell's Mills, and proceed to Moses Greenwood's in the 
 following manner: the oxen and young cattle were turned 
 unyoked into the road, and one person went before them to 
 commence a track, and he was followed by the cattle. When 
 the man on the lead became tired, another took his place. 
 At each settlement, the fresh cattle were put forward; and, by 
 being thus driven in Indian file, a good horse-path was made. 
 
 The food of the first settlers was of the plainest kind. While 
 clearing his farm, Mr. Belknap boarded at Samuel Twitchell's 
 during the season for work out of doors. His food for a certain 
 day, as he described it, would seem not at all suitable for a 
 laboring man in modern times. His breakfast, he said, was 
 bean-porridge; his dinner, a piece of baked pumpkin, with a 
 thin slice of pork baked upon it; and his supper, bean-porridge. 
 For breakfast and supper, bean-porridge was a common dish. 
 Dinners were more varied; but Mr. Belknap was often heard 
 to say, he believed he had eaten a well-full of bean-porridge. 
 No recipe is given, that we know of, in modern books of cook- 
 ery, for the making of this article of food; but, if it were water 
 in which meat had been boiled with beans added, it must 
 have commended itself in hard times by its nutritive qualities, 
 and, to the hard-working and hungry man, might not have been 
 unsavory to the taste. The recipe has not been lost. Within 
 
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS OF INTEREST 559 
 
 recent years, bean-porridge has been prepared, under the 
 direction of aged persons, to be served at gatherings calculated 
 to reproduce the styles and manners of the past. Like other 
 articles of food, the quality of this soup will depend upon the 
 skill and liberality of the cook, but, when properly prepared, 
 it is delicious to the taste. The almost constant use of it in 
 the olden time, and the frugal manner in which it was too 
 frequently made, were responsible for the fact that it was not 
 always relished, and came to be considered a "common" 
 article, suitable for humble families. Properly made, it is an 
 appetizing and very nutritious article of food. 
 
 Anecdotes 
 
 Among the early settlers in school-district number three, 
 were John and Simeon Russell. They were brothers, but their 
 dispositions were not of that character which contributes to 
 the peace and harmony of society. They were often engaged 
 in petty wrangling with each other, especially when they had 
 been partaking of the intoxicating cup. It happened that one 
 of them found a swarm of wild bees in a hollow tree standing 
 on the land of the other, and he claimed them as his property. 
 The other claimed them on the ground that they were on his 
 land. Many an altercation took place in relation to the bees. 
 The time arrived at length for taking the honey, and the 
 finder started for that purpose. He felled the tree, but his 
 brother, warned probably by hearing the strokes of the axe, 
 came to the spot, and a sharp quarrel was begun. Both claimed 
 the bees, and both were determined to have them. The con- 
 tention was continued for a long time, but neither would yield. 
 At length one of them kindled a fire, as is generally done in 
 such cases, to destroy the bees. This enraged the other still 
 more, and the contest was renewed with additional vigor. 
 While they were thus struggling for the mastery, the fire took 
 strong hold of the tree, which proved to be dry, and consumed 
 the entire contents of the tree, leaving the contending brothers 
 with bloody noses, but not one drop of honey. Such is the 
 result, if not literally, yet figuratively, of many a quarrel. 
 
 Two members of the Baptist Church, a Mr. Rollins and a 
 Mr. Riggs, had a misunderstanding with regard to some deal- 
 ings between them, and Mr. Riggs took occasion to call his 
 brother Rollins an old skin-flint. Mr. Rollins considered it 
 
560 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 scandalous, and reported his brother Riggs to the church for 
 discipline. A meeting was called, and presided over by Elder 
 Willard. Mr. Rollins stated his grievance, and the brethren 
 discussed the matter, and gave their opinions. The elder 
 cautioned them against being hasty, and suggested the pro- 
 priety of ascertaining the definition of the opprobrious epithet 
 by consulting a dictionary. A messenger was sent for a diction- 
 ary, and one was procured; but they were doomed to be dis- 
 appointed, for the word could not be found. In this dilemma, 
 they felt somewhat perplexed; but the elder proposed that 
 Brother Riggs should state to the church what he meant when 
 he called Brother Rollins an old skin-flint. Mr. Riggs, who 
 had been sitting in silence during the whole proceedings, rose 
 up and said in a sonorous and lisping manner, that was natural 
 to him: "I meant that Brother Rollins was a right-down, honest, 
 clever man^ 
 
 This must, of course, in the absence of other testimony, have 
 been deemed satisfactory. 
 
 William Spaulding, who went from Dublin to reside in 
 Cavendish, Vt., lived eight years with Rev. Mr. Sprague, 
 beginning in 1801. He often drove Mr. Sprague in his coach 
 to Keene, on a visit to Mrs. Sprague. On one occasion, he 
 said, Dr. Daniel Adams, with Dr. Nathan Smith, called on 
 Mr. Sprague. Rev. Mr. Ainsworth, who was present, was 
 previously acquainted with Dr. Smith, and, after shaking 
 hands with him, he said, "Shall I introduce to you Daddy 
 Sprague.^" Mr. Sprague, taking no notice apparently of the 
 rude mode of introduction, said, "I am happy to see you, sir; 
 I have often heard of you as an eminent surgeon;" and, putting 
 his hand on Mr. Ainsworth's shoulder, continued, "I have a 
 foolish fellow here, and I want you to trepan him; take out 
 two ounces of his brains, and put in a little common sense and 
 decency." 
 
 A number of clergymen were present one evening at the 
 house of Mr. Sprague; and, while he was out of the room, they 
 began to discuss the question of disinterested benevolence, 
 which, in that day, was a topic of no small interest. Experienc- 
 ing considerable difficulty in finding a satisfactory example, 
 they agreed to refer the matter to Mr. Sprague for a decision. 
 Accordingly, when he came in, Mr. Ainsworth stated the 
 point of discussion, and the difficulty which they encountered. 
 
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS OF INTEREST 561 
 
 and requested him to solve the question by furnishing a satis- 
 factory example. Mr. Sprague quickly replied, "Surely, 
 brethren, I find no difficulty in deciding. I have a case in my 
 mind, a clear and evident one; one, in short, that must forever 
 settle the question." But, as he hesitated, and seemed unwil- 
 ling to state the case or example, the brethren urged him to 
 proceed. "Well," said he, "it is the people of Jaffrey, who 
 pay Brother Ainsworth three hundred dollars a year for preach- 
 ing, when they do not get, nor expect to get, the least particle 
 of benefit from it. That is what I call pure, disinterested 
 benevolence." 
 
 Moses Adams (the first of the name in Dublin) and John 
 Muzzy were highly esteemed for their sound judgment and 
 strict integrity. They were often called upon as referees to 
 settle difficulties among their neighbors. It is related that 
 Mr. Adams, being requested by John Farnum to act as referee 
 in a case between him and Dr. Nathaniel Breed of Nelson, for 
 taking too much toll for grinding his grain, inquired how much 
 Farnum supposed he had lost in that way. Mr. Adams, on 
 being told, went to his own grain, measured out the amount, 
 delivered it to Farnum, and thus settled the matter. 
 
 Fatal Casualties 
 
 The first death in Dublin was occasioned by the falling of a 
 tree. John Robinson had settled on lot ten, range one, before 
 Samuel Twitchell was married. Mr. Robinson had built an 
 oven, and Mr. Twitchell, having commenced housekeeping 
 without one, took the dough for a batch of bread, on an after- 
 noon in 1767, and, accompanied by his wife, went to Mr. 
 Robinson's for the purpose of using the oven. Mr. Twitchell 
 inquired for Mr. Robinson, and Mrs. Robinson said he was in 
 the woods not far off chopping down trees; but she added that 
 she had not heard the sound of his axe for some time. Mr. 
 Twitchell repaired to the chopping, and found his friend 
 fatally injured by the falling of a tree, a branch of which struck 
 him as it fell. It is said that every person in town was present 
 at the funeral of Mr. Robinson. By what clergyman the 
 funeral service was performed is not known to us. His body 
 was buried, it is said, without the limits of the present grave- 
 yard, in the road, south-east of the old meetinghouse spot, 
 near the place where the hearse-house formerly stood.

 was drowned, July 17, 1883, in the pond near Mr. Howe's, 
 sometimes called Farnum Pond. He and Oscar Howe were 
 bathing. In diving, Kendall stuck in the mud. Howe endeav- 
 ored to save him, but could not bring him to the surface. 
 Rev. Reuben Kidner of the Episcopal Church, then a young 
 man, and skilled in diving, made the attempt on the following 
 morning and brought young Kendall's body to the surface of 
 the water. Kendall was named for an elder brother, John A. 
 Kendall, who, as already noted in this chapter, was drowned at 
 Concord, N. H., August 23, 1861, shortly after enlisting in the 
 army. The one drowned at Concord had also been rescued 
 from drowning in Monadnock Lake, several years before.

 unable to swim, or seized with cramps, were drowned. France 
 was a butler of George B. Leighton. He was a native of Old- 
 ham, England, and was twenty-five years of age. Ellis was

 a Keene boy, sixteen years of age, the son of Henry and 
 Louisa E. (Campbell) Ellis. He was emploj^ed by Benjamin 
 Willard. 
 
 Frank E. Pierce, a native of Dublin, then living in Peter- 
 borough, going from the latter town to Dublin, November 
 17, 1903, upon the mail wagon, was seized with a heart affec- 
 tion, and died very suddenly, as the vehicle was near the house 
 where his brother Fred. A. Pierce then lived (where the Walkers 
 are living, as we go to press). 
 
 Luke F. Richardson, who died, August 16, 1910, not long 
 previously, at different times, had suffered the amputation of 
 both legs. It was hoped that, by the former operation, the 
 progress of the malady would be checked. It was afterwards 
 thought that the only possible chance of saving his life was in 
 the amputation of the other limb. The operation, however, 
 did not prevent the disease from terminating fatally. 
 
 Charles E. Greenwood was drowned, October 8, 1910, in 
 Connecticut River. 
 
 Walter L. E. Robbe was killed, August 12, 1912, by falling 
 from a telephone pole, and dashing his head against the plat- 
 form of the hay-scales a few rods west of Allison's store. He 
 was a lineman. He had reached the summit of the pole, and 
 it was thought that he was suddenly seized with dizziness or 
 heart difficulty. 
 
 Herbert L. Fiske, a native of Dublin, and a son of Warren 
 L. Fiske, Esq., was killed almost instantly, June 21, 1913, 
 near the village of Eastondale, in West Bridge water, Mass. 
 He was riding on a land-roller, and fell or was thrown from it, 
 falling, in some way, between the roller and a fence, and was 
 crushed to death. The burial was in the Dublin cemetery. 
 
 Matti Oja, a little son of Herman Oja, living in a shanty on 
 the Keene road, a few rods west of Howe Reservoir, was killed 
 by a passing automobile, September 1, 1915. The car was not 
 rapidly driven, but the child, who was but two and a half 
 years of age, dashed suddenly in front of it, from the side of 
 the road, before the chauffeur could stop it. In trying to avoid 
 the child, the car was ditched and the occupants, consisting 
 of two young ladies, besides the chauffeur, were slightly 
 injured. 
 
 The first death by drowning in Monadnock Lake occurred 
 several years ago, in the seventies. It was that of a young man 
 named George Clark from Peterborough, who came up to the 
 lake one Sunday morning with friends and, in some way, got

 into the water. His body came to the surface a few days later 
 and was recovered. We are unable to ascertain exact facts. 
 
 Justices of the Peace 
 
 The following persons have been commissioned as justices 
 of the peace for Dublin. Asa H. Fisk, Thomas Fisk, Jonathan 
 K. Smith, Henry C. Piper, Walter J. Greenwood, and Henry 
 Dwight Learned became eventually justices of the peace 
 throughout the state. So also did Aaron Smith. All of the 
 preceding, and also Asa Heald, were justices of the peace and 
 quorum, as was also John Snow. Asa Fisk, Richard Strong, 
 and Nahum Warren were appointed justices, but never took 
 the oath of office. The names are placed in the order of ap- 
 pointment, but the precise dates of appointments are not known

 As the first settler of Dublin, Wm. Thornton, was a brother 
 of Hon. Matthew Thornton, a signer of the Declaration of 
 Independence, any incident which connects that worthy indi- 
 vidual with Dublin is worthy of preservation. The following 
 is an original letter from MATTHEW THORNTON to 
 Thomas Morse. It shows the scarcity of writing paper in that 
 day; for it is all written on one side of a piece of paper about 
 six inches long and three inches wide, yet folded and directed

 is the following : — 
 
 "Caesar Freeman, servant to Gardner Town, was twenty- 
 one years of age, July 8, 1790, at which time his said master 
 gave him his freedom." 
 
 Other colored persons lived in Dublin who had been slaves. 
 Whether they were ever held as slaves here is not known. The 
 names of Caesar Lewis and Cato Boston are found in the tax- 
 list of 1793. Their names are not inserted in succeeding tax- 
 lists. 
 
 A colored man, whose name was Dupee, lived at one time on 
 lot three, range five. 
 
 Fortune Little, who lived on lot three, range ten, had been 
 a slave. He was brought from Africa at an early age, and sold 
 to a Mr, Little of Shirley, Mass., but was liberated, and re- 
 moved to New Hampshire, when slavery ceased in the Bay 
 State.

 Rye, per bushel, sixty cents; corn, per bushel, forty-five 
 cents; potatoes, per bushel, thirteen cents; oats, per bushel, 
 thirty cents; butter, per pound, nine cents. Beef, two and a half 
 cents per pound; boards, three dollars thirty-three cents per

 In December, 1781, Ebenezer Twitchell was charged fifty-

 Military Affairs 
 
 The first person who received a military commission in 
 Dublin was Thomas Morse. He was commissioned as captain 
 of the eighth company of the sixteenth regiment. His com- 
 mission was dated at Portsmouth, the second day of June, in 
 the fourteenth year of the reign of George III., Annoque 
 Domini 1774, and signed by J. Wentworth. The next captains 
 were Moses Adams, Samuel Twitchell, and James Chamberlain. 
 Capt. Chamberlain's commission was dated at Portsmouth, 
 February 16, 1786. He served till 1793; when the men, liable 
 for military duty, were, by mutual agreement, divided into 
 two companies. The west half formed the first company of 
 light infantry, and were commanded by John Morse, taking 
 post at the right of the first battalion of the twelfth regiment. 
 The east half formed the fifth company as before, and was 
 commanded by James Adams, who was then a merchant on 
 the Appleton stand. He was succeeded by Abel Wilder, who 
 rose to the post of Colonel. He was followed by Moses Marshall, 
 who served until 1806. The captains of the light infantry, after 
 John Morse, who rose to the post of Major, were Phinehas 
 Gleason, Andrew Allison, and Robert Muzzy. Captain Muzzy 
 signed an agreement in 1806, to divide the regiment east and 
 west, instead of north and south. This brought the company 
 of light infantry to the post of the left of the regiment instead 
 of the right; and so great was the dissatisfaction caused by 
 
570 
 
 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the measure that little was done till 1808, when the legislature 
 incorporated a company of grenadiers, which took post on the 
 right of the regiment, and was commanded by Dr. Samuel 
 Hamilton. The company of grenadiers were dressed in uni- 
 forms of straight scarlet coats, white pantaloons, black gaiters, 
 and white belts. The uniform w^as afterwards changed to blue. 
 Twenty different persons have commanded this company, 
 of whom Rufus Piper rose to the rank of colonel. It was dis- 
 banded when under the command of Henry C. Piper; and their 
 arms, which had been furnished by the state, were returned to 
 the arsenal at Portsmouth, and their records to the Adjutant- 
 General. The following is a list of the commanders of the

 A company, or troop, of cavalry was formed, the members of 
 which belonged in part to Dublin and in part to Nelson. We 
 have no information respecting the time when this company 
 was organized or disbanded. The commanders who resided in 
 Dublin were John Warren, Nahum Warren, and Simeon 
 Stanley. 
 
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS OF INTEREST 571 
 
 At the period when these companies were disbanded, the 
 old militia system of New Hampshire fell to pieces. When the 
 Civil War began, the young men throughout the North were 
 altogether untrained in military tactics and manoeuvres. In 
 most cases, their only knowledge of the use of arms was as 
 hunters and sportsmen. The war would have been of briefer 
 duration if the old militia drill had been maintained, and the 
 men had been accustomed to such exercises. When the emer- 
 gency arose, the young men of the North were intensely loyal, as 
 a rule, and astounded the world by the rapidity with which 
 they acquired a military knowledge, but many costly blunders 
 would have been saved if the old militia drill had not fallen 
 into disuse. Since the Civil War, a few companies of "National 
 Guards,'' composed of volunteers, compose the militia of the 
 state, which only consists of a single regiment of infantry, com- 
 posed of a band, twelve companies, and a machine gun com- 
 pany; one battery of field artillery; one troop of cavalry; a 
 coast artillery corps, consisting of four companies; a signal 
 corps, and a hospital corps. 
 
 In the first half of the last century, there were as many as 
 thirty or forty regiments in the state. All men between certain 
 ages were required to drill. Without wishing any war, it seems 
 desirable that all able-bodied men, within the appropriate age 
 limit, should be thoroughly drilled in military tactics, and 
 supplied with the requisite amount of munitions, that they 
 might be able, in any emergency, which might suddenly come 
 upon the country, to ward ofT the danger, by the use of force, 
 if need be. At this present time, while the fearful struggle is 
 raging in Europe, many statesmen are considering plans for 
 some reorganization of a compulsory military (or militia) 
 service throughout the entire country. It is highly probable 
 that something of the kind will be done as a protective measure. 
 
 An account of the Peterborough Cavalry, of which 
 organization many Dublin men have been members, was 
 given in the preceding chapter.

 IT. ARRisviLLE. What is called Harris ville, previous to 1870, 
 was partly in Nelson, and partly on the thirteenth lot of the 
 tenth range in Dublin. This lot was first settled about 1774 
 by Abel Twitchell, who built a grist-mill and a saw-mill, im- 
 mediately after settling, both under the same roof. The build- 
 ing was burned down; but how long after its erection, we do 
 not know. It was soon rebuilt. At an early date, Jason Harris 
 built a blacksmith and a trip-hammer shop on the site of the 
 later Wilson stand. On the same stream of water, Jonas Clark, 
 in 1799, built and put in operation a clothing-mill, or a mill 
 for fulling and dressing cloth. In this mill, Mrs. Clark spun 
 linen thread by water power, a single thread at a time. Mr. 
 Clark sold his mill to James Horsley in 1804, and removed with 
 his family to Shipton, Lower Canada, afterwards called 
 Canada East, and now the Province of Quebec, where he re- 
 sided till 1819, when he returned to Dublin. He was the father 
 of Rev. George Faber Clark and of Rev. Samuel Fulton Clark, 
 Unitarian clergymen, both of whom were born in Shipton. 
 
 A machine for carding wool was set up in the grist-mill by 
 Bethuel Harris and Abel Twitchell (father of Mrs. Harris), 
 before Mr. Clark sold out. This machine has been supposed 
 to be the second one that was run in the United States. Messrs. 
 Harris and Twitchell purchased the clothing stand of Mr. 
 Horsley, and united the business of carding wool and dressing 
 cloth, in one building, situated on the spot where the mill of 
 Messrs. C. C. P. Harris and A. S. Hutchinson, now a part of 
 the Cheshire Mills plant, stands. It is usually known as the 
 "middle mill." 
 
 That mill, once owned by Harris and Hutchinson, was built 
 in 1822, by Bethuel Harris and his son Cyrus Harris, and was 
 first operated in 1823, As soon as it was finished, Milan Harris, 
 another son of Bethuel, put in machinery for manufacturing 
 woollen cloths, which were dressed by B. and C. Harris. Sub- 
 
INDUSTRIES 573 
 
 sequently a company was formed consisting of Bethuel Harris 
 and his sons Cyrus and Milan. This company was dissolved 
 in 1832, Milan Harris leaving the same. 
 
 The first power looms that were started in Harrisville were 
 put in operation by Milan Harris in 1823 or 1824. In 1832 and 
 1833, Milan Harris and Abner S. Hutchinson built the "upper 
 mill," as it is called, on the site of the old grist-mill and saw- 
 mill. This partnership continued between two and three 
 years. In 1835, Almon Harris, a brother of Milan Harris, re- 
 turned to Harrisville, after living in various places, and the 
 brothers formed a partnership under the firm name of M. & 
 A. Harris, which continued operations in the "upper mill" 
 until 1847, when Almon Harris established himself in business 
 in Pennacook (then Fisherville), N. H. Milan W. Harris, who 
 was connected with this mill, after the removal of Almon 
 Harris, went into business with his father, and was connected 
 with the business at the "upper mill" until his death in 1873. 
 Subsequently, the "upper mill" was sold to the Cheshire Mills 
 Co., and is now altogether disused. For many years, this mill 
 was covered with ivy vines, which gave it an attractive ap- 
 pearance. The solemn stillness, however, which now pervades 
 the building produces a rather gloomy effect. In the days of 
 Milan Harris, this mill had two sets of machinery, doing more 
 than the usual work on account of its capacity. In that mill, 
 from twenty-five to thirty hands were regularly employed in 
 the fifties, and, afterwards, more. The cloth manufactured for 
 many years was called doeskin. In the middle of the last cen- 
 tury, about fifty thousand pounds of wool per year were used 
 in the mill, which made from forty to forty-five thousand yards 
 of very superior black doeskin cloth; outselling in price per 
 yard nearly every other mill in the United States, and even 
 the majority of the German doeskins. In 1852, it was selling 
 at one dollar per yard. 
 
 The "middle mill," as it was called, at Harrisville, was 
 built in 1822, by Bethuel Harris and his son Cyrus Harris, on 
 the site of the old mill in which Jonas Clark and, later, James 
 Horsley had fulled and dressed cloth. Bethuel and Cyrus 
 Harris dressed cloth in this building, and they were succeeded 
 by the firm of Bethuel, Cyrus, and Milan Harris, which was 
 dissolved in 1832. About 1835, Charles C. P. Harris and Abner 
 S. Hutchinson formed a partnership, under the firm name of 
 Harris and Hutchinson, and purchased this "middle mill." 
 They manufactured woollen goods, principally doeskins and 
 
574 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 cassimeres. They continued the business until the company 
 failed in the great "panic" of 1857. In its palmy days, this 
 mill did about half the business done by the Milan Harris Co. 
 at the "upper mill." After the failure, Mr. Hutchinson con- 
 tinued to work for others at the same business until shortly 
 before his death, which occurred at Harrisville in 1894. Mr. 
 C. C. P. Harris was the first postmaster at Harrisville, and held 
 the office as long as he lived. He died at Harrisville in 1888. 
 
 In the years 184'6 and 1847, Cyrus Harris formed a company, 
 and, under his superintendence, a large building was erected, 
 which has been called the "lower mill" (although another, 
 but connected with it, was afterwards built below it). The 
 structure built by Cyrus Harris was of granite, brought from 
 the quarry in Marlborough. It is four stories high, one hun- 
 dred eleven feet long, and forty feet wide. The roof was cov- 
 ered with slate. The health of Mr. Harris failed, and he died 
 in 1848. The building was subsequently sold to Messrs. J. 
 Colony and Sons, who, in 1851, put in four sets of machinery 
 and twenty-four looms. A large boarding-house and other 
 buildings were erected by the Messrs. Colony; and the whole 
 plant was then called the Cheshire Mills; which has since been 
 extended by purchases, so as to include all the mills above the 
 stone mill. In the fifties, they were making flannels, at the 
 rate of a thousand yards a day. It was sold by the bale at 
 thirty-two cents per yard. The amount of sales per year was 
 ninety-six thousand dollars. This company is still doing busi- 
 ness and is the most important industry in Harrisville. They 
 make various kinds of woollen cloths, but we have not the 
 exact statistics of their amount and value at the present time. 
 
 PoTTERSviLLE. This village was in the north-west part of 
 the original township of Dublin, but was included in the town 
 of Harrisville, which was incorporated in 1870. It was then, 
 for a while, called West Harrisville, but has, for many years, 
 been called Chesham, a name which has been given to its 
 post-office and railway station. The name Pottersville was 
 derived from the manufacture of pottery, which, formerly, 
 in that village, consisted of brown earthen-ware. Clay of an 
 excellent quality is found in inexhaustible quantities a few 
 rods south of the schoolhouse. The business was commenced 
 by David Thurston about the year 1795. Jonathan Flood 
 Southwick, from Danvers, Mass., purchased Mr. Thurston's 
 shop, and continued the business till his death, when it passed 
 into the hands of a kinsman, Jedediali Kilburn Southwick, who 
 
INDUSTRIES 575 
 
 came from that part of Dan vers which is now Peabody, Mass., 
 in the early part of the last century. Previous to 1820, he 
 built the brick house on the main street of Pottersville. The 
 non-intercourse and embargo acts and the war with England 
 gave such an impulse to the manufacture of this kind of ware 
 that some eight or ten shops were built in the vicinity. Be- 
 tween the close of the war with England and the middle of the 
 nineteenth century, that business steadily declined. In 1852, 
 there was but one pottery in operation in what was then 
 Dublin. This declension was caused partly by the low duties 
 and large importations of cheap English white-ware, and partly 
 by the low price of tin-ware. In former times, milk was kept 
 in earthen pans, which were very heavy and clumsy, as well 
 as easily broken. The neat, light, and unbreakable tin pans, 
 when they came upon the market, quickly displaced the earthen 
 goods. After this change came about, pottery was mostly 
 confined to the making of large ware and flower-pots, and, in 
 later times, to handsome vases and ornamental goods. The 
 white-ware entirely drove the fancy and brown-ware from the 
 market. There had been a time when brown earthen- ware 
 came near being a kind of currency. Farmers in the vicinity 
 of potteries were glad to exchange their surplus produce for 
 it. They carried the ware to Vermont and to western Massa- 
 chusetts, and exchanged it for cash or grain, or such articles 
 as were needed in their families. 
 
 The last persons who carried on the pottery business in 
 Pottersville were Ebenezer Russell & Son. The son was Os- 
 good N. Russell. This pottery (which has disappeared) was 
 the first building in Pottersville, on the north side of the road, 
 as one approached from Harrisville by' the southerly road. 
 It was at the top of the hill, near the junction of the ancient 
 road with the present highway. The house of Osgood N. Rus- 
 sell stood directly opposite the pottery, on the south side of 
 the highway. The next house to the west, on the same side 
 of the road, was that of Ebenezer Russell. This pottery came 
 to an end during the fifties. 
 
 The name of the first potter in Pottersville was Felton, who 
 came from Danvers, Mass., in the employ of J. F. Southwick. 
 There was a pottery in the east part of lot sixteen, range nine, 
 carried on by Nathaniel Furber; and some have said that he 
 began the business in Dublin. 
 
576 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Wooden-ware and Lumber 
 
 The manufacture of articles of wooden-ware was begun at 
 the mills in the north-east part of the original township of 
 Dublin, at the small hamlet called at first Handyville, from 
 the proprietor of the mill. After the opening of the railroad, 
 it was called East Harrisville. Nearly all of the small village 
 has been burned. The railroad station is now called East- 
 view. The mill was built by George Handy and Nathaniel 
 Greely, in 1838. After a few years, Mr. Greely sold out to 
 Mr. Handy, who continued the business. In the fifties, the 
 annual amount of sales of washboards, clothes-pins, and mop- 
 sticks was stated to be $8,800, besides five hundred dollars' 
 worth of lumber. Mr. Handy continued the business until 
 1853, when he sold the premises to Asa Fairbanks. The mill 
 continued to be operated by Mr. Fairbanks for many years, 
 and afterwards by the Wares and the Farwells, but is not 
 now in operation. 
 
 The first saw-mill in the north-west part of the town was 
 built by Moses Adams, Sr., on lot eighteen, range ten, near 
 the present house of Alfred W. Seaver. 
 
 The second saw-mill in that part of the town was built by 
 Eli Greenwood and stood where the recent mill of Percy W. 
 Russell was located, at Pottersville. It was rebuilt several 
 times. In 1826, it was carried off by a freshet, on the same 
 night of the slide at the White Mountains, which destroyed 
 the Willey family. The first grist-mill in this part of the town 
 was built by Moses Whitaker, in 1796, on lot nineteen, range 
 eight, on the brook between the Howe Reservoir and the Rus- 
 sell Reservoir, in a spot not now reached by any highway. It 
 was in operation but a few years. The running portion was 
 bought by Abner Smith and added to the old Greenwood 
 mill. 
 
 In 1834, a saw-mill was built by Robert Worsley and Lyman 
 Russell, on land owned by Mr. Worsley, on the brook in lot 
 twenty-one, range eight. It afterwards passed into the hands 
 of Messrs. Needham and Heath, who added a clothes-pin shop. 
 The mill ceased to be used before the middle of the last cen- 
 tury. It has wholly disappeared. 
 
 In 1849, Messrs. Bemis, Symonds, & Co. erected a wooden- 
 ware shop on the stream just below the "Great Meadow" 
 (now the bed of the large reservoir east of Chesham station). 
 The next year, they built a saw-mill on the opposite side of 
 
INDUSTRIES 577 
 
 the stream. This was the mill at what was known as Bemis- 
 ville, near the Chesham station. They manufactured two 
 hundred fifty gross of mop-sticks at five dollars per gross, 
 fifteen hundred dozen of washboards at one dollar per dozen, 
 and they sold one hundred fifty thousand feet of boards at 
 seven dollars per thousand, as a year's business. That mill 
 is now in the township of Harrisville. It is still in operation, 
 with changes of proprietors, and continues to saw a large 
 amount of lumber. 
 
 In 1850, George Handy built a large saw-mill and wooden- 
 ware manufactory on the site of that erected by Moses Adams, 
 Sr., in lot eighteen, range ten, near the house of A. W. Seaver. 
 It soon changed owners. It was last operated by the Sea vers 
 and has now disappeared. 
 
 The old Greenwood mill was rebuilt, in 1842, by Cyrus W. 
 Woodward. As rebuilt, it consisted of a saw-mill, grist-mill, 
 and wheelwright shop, and carpenter's shop. This mill was 
 afterwards purchased by Percy W. Russell, much enlarged, 
 and used for the manufacture of various kinds of wooden- 
 wares. The business became extensive and was very pros- 
 perous, but the destruction of the mill by fire, about three 
 years ago, brought it to an end. The mill has not been rebuilt. 
 Mr. Russell is an enterprising man and was engaged in several 
 kinds of business, besides operating the mill. He still resides 
 at Chesham. 
 
 Luther Carlton, who once owned the old Greenwood mill, 
 previous to its ownership by Mr. Woodward, used a part of his 
 water power for manufacturing starch, and worked up from 
 ten to fifteen thousand bushels of potatoes in a season, pota- 
 toes selling, at that time, from ten to fifteen cents per bushel. 
 Mr. Carlton came to Potters ville from Lunenburg, Mass., and 
 died in 1838. 
 
 Samuel Twitchell built a saw-mill and grist-mill on the brook 
 which is the outlet of Thorndike Pond. He was one of the 
 earliest settlers. His distinguished son. Dr. Amos Twitchell, 
 when a boy, worked some in this mill. He was a studious 
 youth and, when engaged upon a problem in his arithmetic, 
 was likely to forget what he was about. On one occasion, his 
 father entered the mill and found his son's thoughts buried 
 in study. In the meantime, the grist had been ground and the 
 wheels continued to turn until they became smooth and 
 spoiled. This mill was in lot seven, range one. 
 
 Col. Charles W. Pierce had a grist-mill and saw-mill, which 
 
578 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 was built upon the site of the Twitchell mill. At one time, he 
 manufactured seventy-two hundred gross of clothes-pins per 
 year, at eight cents per gross. 
 
 Joseph H. Spofford operated the Pierce mill for a few years, 
 turning out clothes-pins and other wooden- wares. 
 
 Amos E. Perry had a saw-mill in Harrisville, which was 
 built and first owned by Thaddeus Perry Mason. The amount 
 of their manufactures of boxes for shoes, boots, and cloth, 
 and of their manufactures of various kinds of lumber, was 
 twenty-five hundred dollars per year. 
 
 As Harrisville is now not a part of Dublin, we cannot speak 
 at length of the thriving business of the Winn Brothers' chair 
 factory, nor of the crafts carried on in Chesham. 
 
 A saw-mill was built by Samuel Allison on lot seventeen, 
 range six, about 1830. It was on the Keene road, near Howe 
 Reservoir. It was owned successively by Jeremiah K. Need- 
 ham, Charles W. Cleaveland, and Henry Holt. It passed into 
 the possession of Micah Howe, who lived in the two-story 
 house recently owned by the heirs of Dow J. Hart. It was after- 
 wards owned and operated by Mr. Howe's son, Lambert L. 
 Howe, who lived in the cottage house near the reservoir, which 
 was named for that family. We have no statistics at hand of 
 the amount and value of the products of that mill. It disap- 
 peared many years ago. There is authority for the statement 
 that Samuel Allison's first saw-mill was nearly opposite the 
 house of Mr. Fairbanks, on the Keene road. 
 
 Moore Brothers & Knight were in the lumber business for 
 several years. 
 
 The mill of C. F. Knight & Son, on the road from Bond's 
 Corner to East Jaffrey, has done a thriving business, but we 
 cannot state the exact amount. Henry H. Wiswall operated 
 a saw-mill in town for several years. 
 
 We shall attempt no enumeration of the portable saw-mills 
 which have been set up, from time to time, by out-of-town 
 lumbermen, to saw the logs which have been cut upon the 
 tracts of timber which they have purchased. 
 
 Grist-Mills 
 
 We have spoken of the grist-mill built by Moses Whitaker, 
 in 1796, on lot nineteen, range eight. It was operated but a 
 few years. There was also a grist-mill in the old Greenwood 
 mill, that stood on the site of the mill of Percy W. Russell, 
 
INDUSTRIES 579 
 
 which was recently destroyed by fire. We have also spoken 
 of the grist-mill built by Samuel Twitchell in the south part 
 of the town; also of the grist-mill operated by Col. Charles 
 W. Pierce, on the same site. These grist-mills, in most cases, 
 were connected with saw-mills of which we have already 
 spoken. There was also a grist-mill in the Handy district, or 
 East Harrisville, as it came to be called. Thaddeus Morse, 
 for many years, operated a grist-mill at the outlet of Monad- 
 nock Lake. The mill still remains upon the site, and has been 
 used for sawing wood. Benjamin Frost built a grist-mill on 
 lot five, range one; but, for want of suitable head and fall of 
 water, it was not practicable to operate it. He sold the mill 
 and a small piece of land to Nathan Hunt of Jaffrey, who 
 built a house, barn, and clothier's shop, and, after a few years, 
 sold the whole to Elijah B. Kimball, who set up a carding 
 machine, and, for a number of years, carded wool and dressed 
 cloth. 
 
 Wool-Carding 
 
 Elijah B. Kimball, of whom we have just spoken, after 
 carding wool and dressing cloth for several years, sold his 
 plant to Col. Jonathan Locke and moved to Peterborough. 
 Colonel Locke continued, for several years, to dress cloth and 
 to card wool into rolls. These rolls were spun by women upon 
 spinning-wheels into yarn. The women and girls did a large 
 amount of knitting, both of stockings and of mittens, many of 
 which were for sale. The country merchants "put out" knit- 
 ting, to use an expression of the time, and many girls and 
 women earned no small amount of money in this way, before 
 the invention of knitting machines and the construction of 
 hosiery-mills. 
 
 Miscellaneous Industries 
 
 Braiding. The braiding of palmleaf hats was once an ex- 
 tensive industry throughout the country. Thousands of girls 
 and women throughout New England were employed in this 
 manner. The country merchants sent agents around to dis- 
 tribute the palmleaf, cut into long narrow strands, and col- 
 lected into bunches; and, afterwards, came around again and 
 collected the hats and paid for the braiding. Many girls 
 earned their "wedding outfit" in this way. As in the case of 
 knitting, factory-made goods, and of a finer quality, drove 
 this industry to the wall. 
 
580 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Pearlash. We learn from a valuable paper prepared by 
 Warren L. Fiske, Esq., that this substance, of the same 
 chemical nature as soda or saleratus, was manufactured in 
 Dublin, in the former part of the last century. The business 
 was conducted by Joseph Appleton. The building in which 
 the work was done stood at the foot of what was known as 
 Meetinghouse Hill (or Potash Hill), just off the wharfing, on 
 the south side of the road, west of Mrs. Rice's house. The 
 floor of the upper story was level with the highway. Teams 
 could be driven upon this floor, and the loads of ashes dumped, 
 which fell into leeches upon the basement floor. The lye ob- 
 tained by the percolation of water through these leeches was 
 evaporated, in cauldrons, very much as maple sap is con- 
 verted into sugar. The substance which formed the residuum 
 was known as pearlash, the crude form of soda. Josephus 
 Snow attended to the business of making the pearlash. 
 
 Shoes and Shoe-Pegs. Besides the general manufacture 
 of shoes for home consumption, such as were made by all 
 cobblers, John Piper, Joseph F. Hayes, and Jackson Green- 
 wood manufactured, in each of their shops, for many years, 
 two thousand pairs of sale-shoes per year, worth fifty cents 
 per pair. Joseph Morse manufactured, for many years, 
 twenty-five hundred pairs of shoes per year, which were 
 valued at fifteen hundred dollars. Many females were em- 
 ployed in binding shoes for the above-named manufacturers. 
 Much of their work, says Mr. Fiske, "was sent to them from 
 Lynn and other shoe towns, to be finished up, that is, to peg 
 on the bottoms, etc., and for this work they received fifty 
 cents a pair. As soon as they finished a case, they would send 
 it back, and receive another case in return." 
 
 The manufacture of shoe-pegs was begun by Ezra Rider, 
 on lot three, range five, where he owned a grist-mill and saw- 
 mill. Mr. Rider sold out to Joseph P. Frost and George Bullard. 
 The mills, which were on or very near the site of the Dublin 
 Electric Company's plant, were afterwards purchased by 
 Samuel W. Hale, who manufactured five thousand bushels of 
 shoe-pegs a year, from white birch timber, and sold them at 
 from fifty to seventy-five cents per bushel. Large quantities 
 of these shoe-pegs were sent to Europe and sold in Liverpool 
 and Hamburg. Mr. Hale afterwards moved to Keene, and, 
 after some years, bought the Dinsmore house, which is now 
 the administration building of the State Normal School at 
 Keene. In Keene, he engaged in various kinds of wooden-ware 
 
INDUSTRIES 581 
 
 manufactures, at different plants. He was the Governor of 
 New Hampshire, 1883-85. 
 
 Brick-Making. There were at least two places in town 
 where brick was manufactured. One of these brick-yards was 
 on the John Gleason farm, on land now owned by Mr. Catlin. 
 Here was made the brick used in constructing the house known 
 as Monadnock No. 1, where the Monadnock post-ofBce is 
 located. The house was built by Samuel Adams, was long 
 owned by John Gleason and his heirs, of whom it was pur- 
 chased by Colonel Leighton. 
 
 The other brick-yard was on the old Thomas Morse farm, 
 then owned by Deacon Jesse Morse. Mr. Fiske observes: 
 "It would take seven or eight days to burn a kiln of brick, 
 so that they would come out in good shape. Dea. Morse, a 
 most exemplary man, was very strict in his observance of 
 Sunday, and would not think of such a thing as putting any 
 wood upon the fire in the kiln, after twelve o'clock Saturday 
 night, and trusted in the Lord to keep the fire agoing. The 
 result was that he lost many brick that were not fit for the 
 market. John Bullard, a young man who worked for Dea. 
 Morse, and another young man in the neighborhood, put their 
 heads together and decided to save one kiln at least for the 
 good deacon. So they went to the kiln very early one Sunday 
 morning and wooded up, and the result was that the brick 
 came out in good condition. The deacon, in speaking of the 
 brick, said: 'Providence was on my side, this time.' He did 
 not know that Providence had worked through the agency of 
 those two young men." In this yard was made the brick used 
 in the construction of the Trinitarian Congregational meeting- 
 house that once stood near the residence of John A. Gleason. 
 
 There was excellent clay in Potters ville, and, at a time be- 
 fore 1820, brick enough was made there to construct the South- 
 wick residence, which still stands in that village. 
 
 Drovers. In former times, men, known as drovers, did a 
 thriving business in purchasing of the farmers animals suitable 
 for the market and driving them there. These animals (cattle, 
 sheep, and calves) were collected at a certain place, at a defi- 
 nite time, and driven on foot to the Brighton market. Two 
 Dublin men, Samuel Davison and Jesse Warren, made a spe- 
 cialty of that business. In those days, the hill and mountain 
 pastures were filled with cattle and sheep being fattened for 
 the market. In later years, after dressed beef began to be 
 rushed from the West, and especially since refrigerator cars 
 
582 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 have made the transportation of dressed meats easy and safe, 
 the cattle-raising and the sheep-raising industries have de- 
 clined, and the pastures are now covered with brush, and the 
 flocks and herds have disappeared. 
 
 Teaming. In former times, before the railroads were con- 
 structed, there were three four-horse teams which plied regu- 
 larly between Keene and Nashua, passing through Dublin. 
 They carried merchandise for the stores along the route, as 
 well as goods for manufacturers and business men. Sometimes, 
 in the winter, when the snow was deep, they would be stalled 
 for two or three days at a time, and the bar-rooms of the hotels 
 along the route were made merry by them. The breaking of 
 the roads to accommodate the winter travel was a difficult 
 and severe undertaking in former years. In recent years, we 
 have not had so much snow as formerly, and the rollers keep 
 the roads in very good condition. In the middle of the last 
 century, however, and much later, it would take all of the men 
 and boys in town, as well as all of the oxen and steers, at- 
 tached to sleds, with ploughs at their sides, to keep the roads 
 passable. The old teamsters were generally a jolly and good- 
 natured crowd, but sometimes they became profane if the trav- 
 elling were not good. 
 
 The great four-horse teams have disappeared, but much 
 teaming and trucking are still done in Dublin, especially for 
 the accommodation of the large number of summer residents. 
 In more recent years, the following have been engaged in the 
 teaming and jobbing business: Wilfred M. Fiske, W. B. Whit- 
 comb, C. M. Atwood, Priest & Atwood, Atwood & Gay, and 
 the Dublin Stage Company. The latter company uses a large 
 auto- truck. 
 
 Ice Business. In the earliest times, it was a rather un- 
 usual thing to make use of ice for domestic purposes. At first, 
 individuals harvested their own ice, using primitive methods, 
 quite crude as compared with the improved apparatus of 
 modern icemen. At a later time, men furnished ice for houses 
 as a side-business, in connection with other forms of business. 
 In the nineties, John H. Mason began the business of harvest- 
 ing ice for summer residents and others on quite an extensive 
 scale. He built icehouses near the site of the old first meeting- 
 house and cut ice from Monadnock Lake, which is of the finest 
 quality, usually from fifteen to eighteen inches thick, occa- 
 sionally thicker. When his health failed, he sold the business 
 to Wilfred M. Fiske, who still continues to carry it on.

 Tanneries. Micali Morse had a tannery on lot nine' 
 range five, about 1790, or later. He moved from town, and it 
 is not known that tanning was continued at that site. Joseph 
 Hay ward, Jr., had a tannery near the present summer resi- 
 dence of Mrs. Monroe. The Haywards built that house. Mr. 
 Hayward's son, Minot Hayward, who died when only twenty- 
 seven years of age, was in the same business with his father. 
 Mr. Joseph Hayward died in 1846, and his son, James Hay- 
 ward, continued the business four years more, and died in 
 1850, at the early age of thirty years. Another tannery, 
 operated by Curtis Smith, was located near the present resi- 
 dence of Fremont E. Mason. A dam was constructed here, 
 that the water in the small stream might be used for running 
 a bark-mill, to grind the hemlock bark which was used in tan- 
 ning. The hides, in those days, were readily purchased of the 
 farmers in this and the adjoining towns. They all kept a large 
 stock at that period, partly for the market, and partly for 
 domestic purposes. The small tanning industries have all 
 disappeared from this vicinity. Large tanning syndicates do 
 all of the business. They import the most of their hides, which 
 are no longer produced in this region in sufficient quantities. 
 Chemicals also very largely take the place of hemlock bark in 
 tanning, as hemlock trees have become quite scarce. 
 
 The editor of the former history of the town stated that, in 
 1852, the total amount of sales of the products of the various 
 manufacturies of the town, which then included Harrisville, 
 Pottersville, and Handyville, amounted to $172,576. He had 
 not learned the exact amount of the invested capital and the 
 annual cost of materials or stock. The business has varied 
 from year to year. In 1870, the new town of Harrisville was 
 created, which took away by far the most important part of 
 the manufacturing industries. At the present time, the Knight 
 saw-mill is the only important industry within the limits of 
 the town. 
 
 Charcoal. In the latter part of the preceding century, 
 Asa Knowlton constructed of brick a kiln for producing char- 
 coal, near the highway, called accordingly the "Charcoal 
 Road." The kiln was a short distance south of his house. 
 The business was continued for several years, and the kiln is 
 still there, but not now used. Mr, Knowlton is advanced in 
 years and can no longer attend to active business. 
 
 Livery-Stables. The advent of summer residents made 
 necessary and profitable the livery business upon a large scale. 
 
584 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 George A. Gowing established a stable in the rear of his resi- 
 dence. His sons, Clifford Gowing and Clesson E. Gowing, were 
 connected with their father in this business and have con- 
 tinued it since their father's death. George W. Gleason has a 
 livery-stable on the land in the rear of his store. Hiram A. 
 Carey also has a stable on land in the rear of the residences 
 of Warren L. Fiske, Esq., and Wilfred M. Fiske. Business 
 has been done for many years at all of these stables. At first, 
 the business was wholly confined to the renting of horse-teams 
 and boarding the horses of summer residents. Since the ad- 
 vent of automobiles, the renting of horses is not quite so usual 
 as in former times, although much business in this line is still 
 done. The proprietors of these stables, however, are beginning 
 to provide themselves with good automobiles and chauffeurs, 
 which can be hired by parties desiring them. There is hardly 
 any business in which changes are not necessary to meet the 
 demands of the age. All of these stables are well equipped and 
 do a good business every summer. 
 
 Business Depending on Electricity 
 
 Telegraph. A telegraph wire was extended to Dublin in 
 1864. The office was established in the store then operated by 
 George W. Gleason, and was moved to his store on the south 
 side of the street, when he began business in that building. 
 The office has remained in that building to the present time. 
 The use of long-distance telephones has considerably diminished 
 the necessity of resorting to the telegraph. 
 
 Telephones. In the nineties, telephone wires were strung 
 to Dublin; and a public telephone office was established in 
 Gleason's store about 1897. A central station for Dublin 
 patrons is now located in a part of the Gleason building. 
 There are public telephones at Gleason's store, Allison's store, 
 and French's Inn. 
 
 The Dublin Electric Company was formed, February 
 11, 1899, for the purpose of producing electric lighting facilities. 
 The manager and principal owner was Charles F. Appleton. 
 The plant was first located near where S. W. Hale made shoe- 
 pegs. This plant furnished the electric light used for lighting 
 the public buildings and private residences in Dublin, as well 
 as certain streets and roads. Electric lighting was introduced 
 into the Town Hall in 1899. In 1900, twenty-four street 
 lights were installed and electric lights were introduced into 
 
^-^-^.oy^-^Z^^ yr/^c^j^^ 
 
 ^r-^^^L^ 
 
INDUSTRIES 585 
 
 the churches. In the summer of 1907, a new up-to-date plant 
 was installed, which is in use at the present time, located near 
 the residence of Mr. Appleton. The water is taken from 
 the dam near the former peg-mill, through fourteen hun- 
 dred sixty-five feet of forty-two-inch steel penstock, with 
 eighty -five feet of fall. This plant was put in operation, 
 December 15, 1907, the old plant having been abandoned. 
 The new plant was for a time under the superintendence of 
 Arthur T. Appleton, who had graduated in 1907 from the 
 University of Vermont, having pursued a special course in 
 electrical engineering. In September, 1911, the business of the 
 Dublin Electric Company was sold to the Keene Gas and Elec- 
 tric Company, with the understanding that they would build 
 a high-tension line to connect Keene and Dublin and furnish a 
 twenty-four hour service in Dublin. In the summer of 1915, a 
 steel tower line was constructed between the Keene sub- 
 station and the Dublin plant, which is now used as a sub- 
 station. As a result of this added power, the street lighting 
 has been much extended, and now includes all of the roads 
 around the lake and the road to Jaffrey for quite a distance, 
 and also the road to Peterborough for three quarters of a mile. 
 There was some opposition to lighting the public highways, 
 especially around the lake, but the density of the darkness, in 
 consequence of the growth of brush and timber much of the 
 way, caused night travel to be so dangerous that street lights 
 became a necessity. A law requiring all persons to use lights 
 upon vehicles in the night would not carry with it the certainty 
 that all would comply with the requirement, or that all lights 
 would be of such a nature as to answer the purpose. Many 
 houses belonging to the older residents of the town, and all 
 of those owned or occupied by the summer residents, are now 
 lighted with this brilliant illuminant. 
 
 Electric door-bells and call-bells are now universally used 
 in all the large houses of the summer residents, and are begin- 
 ning to be used considerably by the native population. In- 
 ventions crowd upon each other so rapidly that the appoint- 
 ments of a modern house have little in common with those of 
 seventy -five years ago. 
 
 Water and Heating 
 
 There has, as yet, been introduced no public water supply, 
 although something of the kind is greatly needed. Many 
 
586 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 houses, including all those of the summer residents, have been 
 provided with a system of water supply, at private expense, 
 which insures running water, both hot and cold, and bathing 
 and toilet facilities. 
 
 There is a great need of a public water supply for the vil- 
 lage, to insure protection against fires, as well as to supply 
 water in times of drought. There have been several seasons 
 in recent years when the wells and springs became exhausted 
 in many localities. At certain times, it became a serious 
 problem to know how or where to find water, without going 
 to the lake for it, which has been done in certain cases. The 
 lake, so near at hand, would furnish a never-failing supply for 
 an aqueduct system. 
 
 The ancient method of heating houses with fireplaces was 
 really delightful and healthful, barring the labor involved in 
 preparing the fuel. Stoves were more convenient and gave 
 more heat, but were more unsightly and much less healthful. 
 Many of the houses, at the present time, have steam heat, 
 which is cleaner and healthier, if more expensive, than stove 
 heating. 
 
 Hotels 
 
 In the earliest times, many of the farmers obtained licenses 
 to keep inns, as they were called, and to sell spirituous liquors, 
 the use of which, then, was not regarded as a vice, any more 
 than the present use of lemonade or grape-juice. It is also 
 said that the liquors then in use were much purer and less in- 
 jurious than those of to-day. The little log-cabins and humble 
 homes of the earliest settlers were inhabited by kind-hearted 
 persons, who were very hospitable. They knew what hard- 
 ship meant, and they never rudely turned a stranger from their 
 doors. Whatever they possessed they shared with the stranger 
 who came to them. It was rarely that their kindness was abused 
 or bestowed unworthily. Those who made a business of lodg- 
 ing and feeding strangers, and who generally obtained a license 
 so to do, charged only a small pittance for their attentions. 
 
 The first pretentious hotel in town was Chamberlain's 
 Hotel. The house is said to have been built as early as 1772 or 
 1773. It was on the southern end of lot nine, range six, on the 
 site occupied by the Unitarian Church, which was owned for 
 nearly twenty-five years by James Rollins. It passed into the 
 possession of Rev. Edward Sprague in 1797. James Chamber- 
 lain, the father of Cyrus Chamberlain, lived here from 1797 
 
INDUSTRIES 587 
 
 to 1801. In the latter year, Cyrus Chamberlain purchased 
 the property of Mr. Sprague. The Chamberlains, father and 
 son, kept a good hotel here. The elder Chamberlain died in 
 1826. Cyrus Chamberlain continued the business as long as 
 he remained in Dublin. He was the first postmaster of the 
 town and held that office until he moved to the state of New 
 York in 1835. The house was purchased by Daniel Fiske, the 
 father of Warren L. Fiske, Esq., and was moved in 1852 to its 
 present location, to make room for the new Unitarian Church. 
 It is now the residence of Wilfred M. Fiske. The post-office 
 was in the bar-room. A few parallel strips of tape, tacked to 
 the wall, crossing each other in such a manner as to produce 
 diamonds, served as receptacles for the few letters which were 
 received. 
 
 Later, Dr. Asa Heald opened a fine hotel on the "Flat," as 
 the lower end of the village came to be called. The building is 
 now French's Dublin Inn. Dr. Heald was also the postmaster 
 for many years, and all the mail for Harris ville was then taken 
 from the Dublin office. It was carried by a Mr. Corey, on 
 foot, summer and winter, for several years. Mr. Fiske de- 
 scribes him as a tall man, which was to his advantage in wad- 
 ing through the deep snow. He had but little mail to carry, 
 and could easily take it in a small satchel swung over his 
 shoulder. The appearance of the Heald house has been some- 
 what changed. We remember when long green blinds ex- 
 tended from the window sills of the lower story to the tops of 
 the windows on the third floor, upon the west and east ends of 
 the building. This gave a stately appearance to the house, 
 as if it were some public building. Dr. Heald died in 1874, and 
 his widow lived until 1890. 
 
 The old Appleton store, at the upper end of the town, with 
 the dwelling connected with it, was purchased in the early 
 seventies by Charles H. Leffingwell of Providence, R. I., 
 who converted it into an excellent boarding-house, accom- 
 modating the best class of guests. The table was particularly 
 good. His prices, although not high for the accommodations 
 furnished, seemed high, at that time, in a modest village like 
 Dublin. Transient guests were also received, although the 
 proprietor did not seek for them. After the death of Mrs. 
 Leffingwell, the business was continued by their son, Henry 
 R. Leffingwell, until the building was burned in November, 
 1908. Many persons from all parts of the country have spent 
 happy days in that old building. The situation is particularly 
 
588 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 delightful, commanding a fine view of the whole Pack Monad- 
 nock range of mountains to the east. 
 
 The former Heald Hotel was utilized as a tavern in the nineties. 
 A man named George W. Preston was proprietor in 1896-97. 
 It was then taken by Henry R. Leffingwell, who managed it 
 for many years, calling it the "Leffingwell Inn," or simply 
 "The Leffingwell." Shortly after the upper hotel was de- 
 stroyed by fire, Mr. LeflBngwell moved to Vermont. The lower 
 hotel has been managed for several years by Walter French, 
 and is known as French's Inn. It is a good house and the 
 genial proprietor is anxious to serve his guests acceptably. 
 In 1910, F. S. Willcox, who had done a thriving business in a 
 South Carohna winter hotel, bought the house built by Horace 
 Hamilton, opposite the site of the Leffingwell Hotel, and 
 fitted it up for the accommodation of guests. The table and 
 the service in general were of the finest pattern, and the prices 
 correspondingly high. It was in operation for about four 
 seasons. Mr. Willcox owns the building as these pages go to 
 the press, but it was not used as an inn after the season of 
 1914. It was called the Willcox Inn. It met the needs of a cer- 
 tain class of patronage admirably; but there was not enough 
 of that patronage, in this place, to make it profitable to operate 
 a hotel upon that plan. 
 
 At the present time, there is no winter hotel in Dublin. 
 French's Inn is open in the summer. 
 
 BOARDING-HOUSES 
 
 After summer visitors began coming to Dublin, several ex- 
 cellent boarding-houses were opened which gave great satis- 
 faction to the patrons. Principal among these were the houses 
 of Thaddeus Morse, F. F. Myrick, John Gleason (succeeded 
 by his son-in-law, Rufus P. Pierce), John H. Mason, J. S. 
 May, Mrs. C. May, George A. Gowing, Joseph Morse, Jack- 
 son Greenwood, Walter J. Greenwood, Samuel Adams, Jr., 
 J. L. Adams, Geo. W. Conant, Mrs. B. Estey, Mrs. P. F. Nice, 
 Washington Proctor, Miss Anna Betts, A. R. Burton, Samuel 
 F. Townsend, Mrs. Persis Rice, and others. At present, Mrs. 
 Ada Preston, at the Unitarian parsonage, during the summer 
 season, is the only one in the upper part of the village who 
 takes that class of boarders. 
 
 At the lower end of the village, Mrs. Albert J. Moore took 
 boarders, for several years, in the house now occupied by 
 
INDUSTRIES 589 
 
 Samuel L. Straw. Mr. Frank B. Farley, who lives in the house 
 formerly occupied by Samuel Adams, Jr., is also engaged in the 
 same business. There are many families which have taken 
 boarders and roomers temporarily, often as an accommoda- 
 tion rather than a business. 
 
 Stores 
 
 There was a store for a long time in a part of the building 
 which was used by the Leffingwells f or a summer boarding-house 
 and hotel. Those who conducted that line of business in this 
 place appear to have been Joseph Abbot, Nathan Adams, James 
 Adams, Eli Adams, Aaron Appleton, and Joseph Appleton. 
 
 Joseph Hayward kept a store at his house, which is the same 
 building that is now Mrs. Monroe's residence, on the old road 
 to Harrisville. 
 
 There was a store on the "Flat," near the residence of the 
 late George T. Beal, in which the following men did business: 
 Samuel Hamilton, William F. Pulsifer, Henry Whitcomb, and 
 Cyrus Piper. Samuel Hamilton was a physician. Henry Whit- 
 comb remained in town only a short time. He went to Han- 
 cock and was, for many years, in business with his brother 
 John Whitcomb. Their store was widely known throughout 
 the country. Henry Whitcomb's death resulted from the kick 
 of a horse. Cyrus Piper has a grandson who is a prominent 
 resident of Keene. In those days, before the Washingtonian 
 temperance reformation, a common article for sale in all 
 stores similar to this was New England rum, made in Medford, 
 Mass., and sometimes called Medford rum to distinguish it 
 from the imported Santa Cruz rum, which came from the 
 West Indies and was more expensive. In early times, the use 
 of such a beverage was not deemed immoral, and its sale by 
 merchants was regarded as a matter of course. Warren L. 
 Fiske, Esq., in a valuable paper, which he has permitted us to 
 use, states that rum was sold by the jug or by the glass. The 
 price per glass was three cents with sugar and two cents with- 
 out the sugar. 
 
 At a later period, Samuel Davison built a store, which is the 
 building between the houses now occupied by Samuel L. Straw 
 and Frank B. Farley. The successive firms and individuals 
 who did business here were: Davison & Moore, James Coch- 
 ran, Samuel L, Taggard, John M. & Samuel W. Hale, Oliver 
 Whitcomb, Cyrus Piper, and Cyrus Piper, Jr. 
 
590 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Gershom Twitchell had a store at his house, which once 
 stood at the south end of lot thirteen, range nine, in the north- 
 east corner of the four corners produced (formerly) by the old 
 road from the lake to Harrisville and the east and west road 
 which passes the house of the late Solon Willard. 
 
 The early merchants at Pottersville were Jonathan F. 
 South wick, who introduced the pottery industry there; Levi 
 Willard, who also repaired clocks and watches, and was a 
 brother of the venerable pastor of the Baptist Church; May & 
 Davis; James Lewis; Robert Worsley; and Moses Wark. We 
 cannot continue the line since Harrisville became a separate 
 town. That line of business in that place is now conducted 
 by Bemis Brothers, in a store near the Chesham railroad 
 station. 
 
 Harrisville became an important part of the town after the 
 introduction of the woollen industry on quite an extensive 
 scale. The early stores in that place were kept by C. P. Per- 
 kins, Upham & Clement, and D. Clement. We shall not trace 
 the succession of merchants since Harrisville became a sepa- 
 rate township. The latest (to 1916) have been W^illiam J. Hal- 
 pin and W. B. McClellan, the latter of whom is still engaged 
 in that kind of business. 
 
 About the middle of the last century, Ebenezer Greenwood 
 established or undertook the management of what was known 
 as Union Store, No. 292, near the Unitarian meetinghouse, 
 practically on the site of Allison's store. Mr. Greenwood was 
 the postmaster from 1849 to 1853 and the town-clerk from 
 1846 until the former part of the year 1858, when he resigned 
 and James A. Mason was appointed in his place. Mr. Green- 
 wood moved from town in the latter year. Daniel Fiske con- 
 ducted the store for a time, with Charles W. Fiske as clerk. 
 James A. Mason purchased this store in 1853 and conducted 
 the business a few years. The latter's father, Dexter Mason, 
 bought the building of his son, September 10, 1859. He rented 
 it a few years to George W. Gleason. In 1869, Dexter Mason 
 built the two-story store building now standing upon the site. 
 It was opened for business on the 23d day of October in that 
 year. He associated with him in business his son, Milton D. 
 Mason, under the firm name of D. Mason & Son. This firm 
 continued until April 1, 1871, when the business was pur- 
 chased by the son, Milton D. Mason, who bought the build- 
 ing, April 5, 1880. He conducted the store for thirty years 
 and sold the business and good-will to his son-in-law, Henry 
 
i^-Z^S^^^-r^ od c ]^^^ 
 
INDUSTRIES 591 
 
 D. Allison, who still (1916) conducts the same. The character 
 of the retail store business in country towns has greatly changed 
 in the past fifty years. Formerly all trucking was done by 
 teams from Wilton or Keene. After completion of the Man- 
 chester & Keene R.R., now a branch of the Boston & Maine 
 R.R., goods were brought to Harrisville upon the cars, and 
 forwarded to Dublin by teams, and more recently by motor 
 trucks, which are also used in forwarding goods from Keene 
 and elsewhere. Since the large department stores were es- 
 tablished in the cities and larger towns, mercantile business 
 has changed materially. In former times, the country stores 
 were expected to keep everything wanted by country people, 
 who depended on the home stores for their supplies. At the 
 present time, many goods are purchased at these large depart- 
 ment stores, which send an immense amount of advertising 
 matter throughout the whole region. Milton D. Mason has 
 been a justice of the peace since 1884, was postmaster during 
 the four years from 1888 to 1892, was town-clerk for the twelve 
 years from 1902 to 1913, both inclusive, and was again chosen 
 to the same office in 1916, and has held various other town 
 offices and been very prominent in town affairs. Mr. Allison, 
 who took over the business in 1901, became postmaster in 
 1914. He has been a representative to the General Court, and 
 was the candidate for Governor upon the Progressive ticket 
 in 1914. 
 
 George W. Gleason first began business as a dealer in general 
 merchandise in 1860, in a small hired building, on the north 
 side of the street, which, as has been stated already, was the 
 the old Union Store, formerly conducted by Ebenezer Green- 
 wood. Mr. Gleason informs us that he began with a capital of 
 five hundred dollars. No kerosene or coal oil had been dis- 
 covered, and he sold whale oil and tallow candles for illuminat- 
 ing purposes. Potatoes sold for twenty-five cents a bushel, 
 eggs at ten cents a dozen, and beans at five cents a quart. It 
 was before the days of canned or package goods. In 1868, he 
 built the two-story store building upon the south side of the 
 street, in which he has since been interested, to the present 
 time (1916). He was appointed postmaster in 1861, and held 
 the position nearly a third of a century. He was appointed 
 telegraph operator for the Dublin oflBce in 1864, and has held 
 the business to the present time, which makes him the oldest 
 continuous operator in New Hampshire, if not in the United 
 States. Various forms of business have been conducted in this 
 
592 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 building. Under the same roof were the store, the post-office 
 (for many years), the telegraph office, an express office, a 
 public telephone station, and a news agency. Mr. Gleason 
 also did a large business in real estate and insurance. He has 
 not sought public office and has devoted himself very closely 
 to his several branches of business. He has been in continuous 
 business for considerably more than a half-century, having 
 occupied his present store for about forty-eight years. For a 
 short time, he placed the business in the hands of his son and 
 another young man, under the firm name of Gleason and 
 Ordway. Since then, he has been associated with his son, 
 John A. Gleason, under the firm name of G. W. Gleason & 
 Son. 
 
 Both of the merchants in town have done much real estate 
 business for the summer residents, buying and selling for them, 
 and renting and caring for their property. The large influx of 
 summer visitors has given to both of the stores a large and 
 prosperous business. On almost any day throughout the sum- 
 mer, as well as in the late spring and early autumn, these places 
 are lively centres of activity. As they are dealing with the 
 finest class of people in the country, they intend to carry a 
 stock of goods of the very best quality in all lines which now 
 are salable in stores so situated. 
 
 Mechanics 
 
 In the following paragraphs, as in many that have preceded, 
 we wish to acknowledge the assistance that has been afforded 
 by a carefully prepared paper by Warren L. Fiske, Esq., 
 which he kindly loaned to us. 
 
 Carpenters. The former "History of Dublin" enumerated 
 the following list of men who had made carpentry a business 
 in Dublin: William Greenwood, Sr. ; Moses Mason; Benjamin 
 Mason; Joshua Greenwood; Samuel Jones, Sr. ; Amos Bab- 
 cock; John Crombie; Daniel Boutell; Ebenezer Richardson; 
 Abel Wilder; Nehemiah Upton; Rufus Piper; Reuben Twitchell; 
 John Wilder; Cyrus Frost; Ebenezer Burpee; Charles Perry; 
 Augustine P. Snow; George Worsley; Reuben W. Twitchell; 
 Drury Marshall; Leonard Snow; Henry Morse; Benjamin F. 
 Morse; James G. Piper; Clark C. Cochran; Henry C. Piper. 
 To this list, in later years, are to be added the names of Thomas 
 Perry; Granville Bruce Gilchrest; Franklin Bond; Ivory Perry; 
 Willard D. Learned; Alamander L. Ball; Willard H. Pierce;

 H. A. Patterson; F. W. Stevens; T. W. Sanders; Walter B- 
 Bailey; J. L. Brockway; Fremont E. Mason; and the latter 's 
 son, Clarence F. Mason; also Ned. M. Pierce, son of Willard 
 H. Pierce; and Harry F. Mason, the latter's son-in-law. 
 
 Blacksmiths. The former "History of Dublin" gives the fol- 
 lowing list of early blacksmiths : Moses Johnson; Nathan Bixby; 
 John French, Jr.; William Maxwell; Jason Harris, whose 
 shop was at Harrisville; Joshua Greenwood, 2d; Elisha Knowl- 
 ton, who worked in a shop owned by Joseph Appleton, on a 
 site opposite the present Willcox Inn; Ebenezer B. Wal ling- 
 ford; Deering Farrar; Benjamin Wallingford; Benjamin Mar- 
 shall, whose shop was at Bond's Corner; Richard Phillips, who 
 lived south of the lake; David Richardson, whose shop was in 
 district No. 5, a little east of Miss Houghton's summer resi- 
 dence; Samuel Gilson; William Stanley; Simeon Stanley; 
 Moses Perry; John Fife; Samuel Moore, whose shop was in 
 the south part of the town, near the house of Frank C. Moore; 
 Benjamin Darling; Abraham Shattuck; John Sanders, who 
 moved to East Jaffrey and continued the business there many 
 years, until his death; Joseph Thurston, whose shop was near 
 where Clifford Gowing's house stands; Daniel H. Mason, whose 
 shop was later used by Mr. Proctor, and who later carried on 
 the business in Sullivan, many years, until his death; Luther 
 Hemingway, whose shop was on the opposite side of the road 
 from Mrs. Rice's house; T. Osgood Wilson; Abijah Wilson, at 
 Harrisville; Maynard Wilson, at Harrisville; Elias Joslin, who 
 married a daughter of Alexander Emes and became a pros- 
 perous and influential man in Keene; Aaron Richardson; 
 and Washington Proctor, who was in business nearly fifty 
 years, on the "Flat," in a shop formerly occupied by Daniel 
 H. Mason. Mr. Fiske states that many of these smiths, in 
 addition to their ordmary work, made axes, hoes, chains, and 
 the shoes for shoeing the oxen and horses, and even the nails 
 for nailing them on. Many of these smiths also had a farm on 
 which they raised produce for their families. 
 
 Mr. Fiske also speaks of a Mr. Thayer, who had a small 
 shop where Fremont E. Mason's barn stands, where he made 
 nails for blacksmiths to use in shoeing. He had a large dog 
 which he had trained to run in an endless-chain-rig and blow 
 the bellows for heating the nail rods. In this way, nails could 
 be made quite fast. 
 
 Mr. Proctor did practically all the blacksmithing for many 
 years. Since his death, that kind of business has been done in 
 
594 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 a shop to the rear of the residence of Wilfred M. Fiske. In 
 this shop have wrought Wilfred M. Fiske, Albert P. Fiske, and 
 J. A. Porter, the last-named having been, for several years, the 
 only blacksmith in the village. 
 
 Shoemakers. We have already spoken of the larger busi- 
 ness of manufacturing shoes which was once carried on in 
 Dublin. It remains to give the list of shoemakers or cobblers, 
 who made and repaired boots and shoes for their neighbors 
 and townsmen. In the former "History of Dublin," we find the 
 following list: Marstin Holt; Gershom Twitchell; Samuel 
 Taggard; Solomon Davis; Samuel Ames; Oliver Stone, who 
 afterwards lived in Nelson and died there; Solomon Morse; 
 Cyrus Piper; Joseph F. Hayes, whose shop was on the lot 
 where Samuel Adams has recently lived; John Piper, whose 
 shop still stands, on the so-called John Piper lot, where Harry 
 F. Mason lived (1915); Jackson Greenwood, whose shop still 
 stands in the yard of Mrs. Harriet Greenwood; Thomas 
 Perry, 2d; Ebenezer Greenwood, whose shop was near the 
 spot where M. D. Mason's hay-scales are located; Horatio 
 Greenwood; James Bullard; James Grimes; Josiah Bemis; 
 Levi Conant; Samuel Stone; Joseph Morse, whose shop still 
 stands, nearly opposite the No. 1 schoolhouse; and Cyrus E. 
 Hardy. We cannot add to this list. This kind of business has 
 disappeared practically in all small places. Boots and shoes 
 are now purchased ready-made. Very little repairing is done, 
 and that mostly by cobblers connected with the large shoe- 
 stores. In large places, a very few persons make a specialty 
 of cobbling, but they are seldom seen in small towns. Some of 
 the persons mentioned in the preceding list lived until a com- 
 paratively recent period, and continued to do some work in 
 that line nearlj^ as long as they lived; but nobody has suc- 
 ceeded to their business in Dublin. 
 
 We have spoken of the tanners and curriers in a previous 
 paragraph. 
 
 Wheelwrights. The former history of the town men- 
 tions the following wheelwrights: Richard Rowel; William 
 Greenwood; Jeremiah Greenwood; Alline Newell; and Luke 
 Belknap. There was a wheelwright-shop connected with the 
 old Greenwood mill at Pottersville, after it was purchased by 
 Cyrus W. Woodward. 
 
 Millwrights. In former times, we find two millwrights 
 in Dublin: Moses Marshall and Gilbert Tuel. Gilbert Tuel 
 married Mrs. James Adams, who was the mother of the wife 
 
INDUSTRIES 595 
 
 of Jonathan K. Smith. Moses Marshall lived in the house 
 later known as the Craigin house, which was burned a few 
 years ago. 
 
 Painters. In the former history, we find a list of painters. 
 They were Paul Nelson, Orlando Twitchell, and Jason Phelps. 
 In later years, since the summer residents have caused many 
 buildings to be constructed, there has been considerable paint- 
 ing done in town. Among the number of painters, we find: 
 James O. Josselyn; James G. Piper; Henry C. Piper; George 
 W. Davis; Charles W. Leffingwell; L. A. & C. E. Fairbanks; 
 Greenwood & Pellerin; Alfred F. Greenwood (Boisvert in 
 French); and the latter's adopted son, William Greenwood. 
 Several of these have employed many apprentices and work- 
 men, whose names we cannot collect. 
 
 Plumbing. The plumbing in town, much of which is of 
 the best workmanship, has generally been done by Keene 
 plumbers, or those who have come from other large places. 
 Ernest A. Gay is the only plumber we find who has resided in 
 Dublin. 
 
 Masons. There were never many masons in Dublin. The 
 former history mentions Jeremiah Barrett, Edward Wilson, 
 Asa Fisk, and Jonathan Dodge. An honorable mention should 
 be made of Asa Greenwood, a native of Dublin, who was one 
 of the best stone masons in this part of the country. He built 
 stone buildings in Marlborough, stone bridges in Keene and 
 Peterborough, and the fine stone mill in Harrisville. For many 
 years, we do not find a mention of masons in Dublin. In recent 
 years, there have worked at this trade in town Francis A. 
 Spaulding, John H. Mason, T. J. Eaves, and E. S. Wait. Other 
 persons, not legal residents of the town, have stopped here for 
 a short time while engaged on contracts. Much of the work in 
 that line is done by workmen who come from larger places for 
 some particular job. 
 
 Machinists were mostly to be found in Harrisville, which 
 became a separate town in 1870. Formerly, Freeman F. My- 
 rick, Frank Greenwood, and John Wait worked at that 
 trade. 
 
 Coopers. Charles Preston and William Farmer were 
 coopers. We have also found that Samuel Smith, John Snow, 
 and Benjamin Page Hardy did considerable business in that 
 line. 
 
 Stone-Cutters. There formerly worked at this trade 
 Bela Morse, Joshua Stanley, Thomas Perry, and Silas P.

 Frost. There are none now within the limits of the town who 
 make a specialty of this business. 
 
 Gravestone-Makers. Formerly, Francis Phelps, Joseph 
 Phelps, and Levi Knowlton made such goods. At present, all 
 such work is done in the neighboring towns of Peterborough 
 and Keene, so far as required for the Dublin cemetery.

CHAPTER XVI 
 
 Physicians, Sickness, and Mortality 
 
 1 HE first physician who resided in Dublin was Nathan Bur- 
 nap. He was in town as early as 1776, and lived on the twelfth 
 lot of the sixth range. His house was on the site of the Dexter 
 Mason house, where the Coolidge (or Norris) house now stands. 
 Respecting the professional qualifications of Dr. Burnap or the 
 extent of his practice, tradition is silent. 
 
 Dr. Young of Peterborough was much employed by the peo- 
 ple in the east part of Dublin before, as well as after, the above 
 date. 
 
 The name of Dr. Ward Eddy occurs in the clerk's records in 
 1781, that of Dr. Abel Maynard in 1787, and that of Dr. 
 Benjamin Hills in 1794. Dr. Eddy only remained a year or a 
 little more. He moved to Stoddard, in 1782 or 1783, and 
 resided there the remainder of his life, although he practised 
 a short time in Vermont. He died in Stoddard at an advanced 
 age. Dr. Maynard lived in the little house that stood between 
 the houses of Mrs. Rice and John A. Gleason, which was burned 
 within a few years. Dr. Maynard died on Christmas Day in 
 1834. Dr. Hills lived in the most northerly part of the town, on 
 lot fifteen, range ten, where Silas P. Frost lived for a time. The 
 house has disappeared, and the road is abandoned which led 
 past it. Dr. Hills removed from town in 1821. 
 
 Dr. Samuel Hamilton was clerk of the Dublin Social Library 
 in 1794, and he appears to have been the principal physician in 
 the town till his removal in 1815. He lived on the site of the 
 Dr. Heald house, now French's Inn. He was a representative 
 to the General Court, a selectman, a merchant, and, for many 
 years, had much influence in managing the business of the 
 town. He moved to Canandaigua, N. Y., and afterwards to 
 Rochester, N. Y. 
 
 Dr. Moses Kidder succeeded to the home and the practice of 
 Dr. Hamilton in 1815. He was born in Billerica, Mass., in 
 1789. After completing his medical studies, he went into the 
 army as a surgeon. After leaving the army, he settled in Town- 
 send, Mass., where he remained until 1815, when he came to 
 
598 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Dublin and took the place of Dr. Hamilton who left Dublin 
 in that year. He was considered a good physician and was 
 highly esteemed by the Rev. Mr. Sprague. Dr. Kidder lived 
 at Mr. Sprague's house a large part of the winter of 1815-16. 
 According to the genealogical tables in the former history of 
 the town, Dr. Kidder moved his family to Ashby, Mass., in 
 the spring of 1816. He appears to have practised in the town 
 a little longer, perhaps at certain seasons of the year. His final 
 departure was in 1819. 
 
 Dr. Stephen H. Spaulding came to Dublin in 1819, from Lit- 
 tleton, Mass., and purchased the house and land of Dr. Kidder. 
 He remained in town until 1823, then moved to Natick, Mass. 
 
 Dr. David Carter, who had been a physician in Marlborough 
 and Peterborough, settled in Dublin in 1824. He married a 
 sister of Dr. Amos Twitchell. Dr. Carter lived for a time in the 
 house that stood on the site of the Proctor house, where Mr. 
 Upton lives, and, at another time, in the Corydon Jones house, 
 where Mrs. C. R. Fisk lives. Dr. Carter died in Dublin in 1828, 
 having been in practice here only four years. He had one child. 
 Miss Eliza Carter, who survived him many years and died in 
 Keene. She was a refined and cultivated lady, of estimable 
 social qualities. 
 
 Dr. John H. Foster succeeded Dr. Carter. He came from 
 Ashby, Mass., and moved in 1833 to Chicago, 111., which he 
 made his future residence. 
 
 Dr. Simeon S. Stickney, from Townsend, Mass., began prac- 
 tice in Dublin in 1836, and removed to Milford, N. H., in 1837. 
 
 Dr. Albin Jones Eaton came to Dublin from Fitzwilliam, 
 about 1837, to take the place of Dr. Stickney. He remained 
 until the latter part of 1839. He was born in Ashburnham, 
 Mass., June 19, 1809, but his father's family, after living a few 
 years in Royalston, Mass., moved to FitzwiUiam, about 1825 
 or 1826, when Albin was a young man. After receiving his medi- 
 cal education, he settled in Fitzwilliam, but soon moved to 
 Dublin. He finally settled in Worcester, Mass. He married 
 Miss Delight Stone. He had but one child that lived to ma- 
 turity. Miss Maria Stone Eaton, who became a highly edu- 
 cated lady and was a professor of chemistry and mineralogy 
 in Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass. 
 
 Dr. Ransom N. Porter came to Dublin in 1848, from New 
 Salem, Mass., and practised medicine in town until 1852. He 
 went from here to Deerfield, Mass., where he spent the rest of 
 his life. He died there many years ago. He was a justice of the

PHYSICIANS, SICKNESS, AND MORTALITY 599 
 
 peace for a long time and was the moderator of the town- 
 meetings in Deerfield for about ten years. He was a brother of 
 Royal H. Porter of Keene, who, for over a half-century, was 
 connected with the Cheshire Bank, in the various positions of 
 clerk, cashier, and treasurer of that institution. Dr. Porter was 
 on the school-board in Dublin. He was a man of versatile tal- 
 ents and a genial person. 
 
 Dr. John Gideon Parker took the place of Dr. Porter. He 
 was born in Peterborough, July 2, 1818; graduated at Norwich 
 University, with the degree of A.B., in 1847; and took the de- 
 gree of A.M. from the same institution. He graduated in the 
 department of medicine from Dartmouth College in 1852. He 
 practised medicine in Dublin from 1852 to 1865. He was here 
 through the trying period of the Civil War. He went from 
 Dublin to Warner, in this state, where he died, September 12, 
 1869. 
 
 Dr. Asa Heald came to Dublin in the twenties, and bought 
 the house and land which Dr. Spaulding had owned. He built 
 that large house on the "Flat" which has been used for a hotel 
 by himself, and later by the Leffingwells, and last of all by Mr. 
 French. The house was built in 1827. Dr. Heald was born in 
 the neighboring town of Nelson, May 6, 1798, and took his 
 degree in medicine at Bowdoin College, on the twenty-fifth 
 anniversary of his birth. May 6, 1823, coming at once to Dub- 
 lin to begin practice. He died in Dublin, January 28, 1874, in 
 the fifty-first year of his residence in town. He was the post- 
 master for many years, the post-office being in the bar-room of 
 his hotel. 
 
 Several persons, besides those above named, have, for short 
 periods, practised medicine in Dublin. Among them were Dr. 
 White, Dr. Peabody, Dr. Beede, Dr. Pettes, Dr. Hitchcock, and 
 Dr. Edward Barton. The last named practised a short time in 
 Sullivan. He married Miss Harriet Wilson of that town and 
 settled in Orange, Mass., where he lived until his death. Dr. 
 Stephen Jewett of Rindge settled, in 1804, on lot eleven, range 
 one, and remained in town for a short time. 
 
 Physicians in the neighboring towns have had, at times, much 
 practice in Dublin, especially in those parts of the town adja- 
 cent to their own. Dr. Kidder, during his residence here, is said 
 to have been the physician for nearly all the families in town. 
 The whole business of the town would afford one physician a 
 fair support, but, if it were to be divided and subdivided, as it 
 has been in some former periods, it would not be so easy for a 
 
600 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 physician to acquire a good living. It has, therefore, happened, 
 in former years, that some of the physicians have resorted to 
 means of obtaining a livehhood independent of their profession, 
 as, for example, Dr. Heald, who kept a public house and was 
 also the postmaster; also Dr. Hamilton, who was a merchant. 
 
 Dr. Henry Hilliard Smith was born in Liverpool, Ohio, June 
 16, 1837. He graduated at the medical department of Dart- 
 mouth College, in 1859. He was an acting-assistant-surgeon 
 in the United States Navy, 1861-65, during practically all of 
 the Civil War. Soon after this he came to DubHn and virtually 
 succeeded to the practice of Dr. John G. Parker. He lived in 
 the house, opposite the John Piper place, where Thomas Fisk, 
 Esq., had previously lived. He died in Dublin, October, 3, 1911, 
 having been for more than fifty years a physician, but not in 
 active practice the last few years of his life, in consequence of 
 failing health. His practice was formerly extensive, involving 
 long rides into the country, at all seasons and under all condi- 
 tions of weather. He was kind, sympathetic, and benevolent, 
 and rendered many services with no other compensation than 
 the consciousness that he had done all that he could for some 
 unfortunate person. Dr. Smith was interested in all patriotic 
 movements and always took an active part in the exercises of 
 Memorial Day. He married the daughter of Thomas Fisk, Esq. 
 
 There were two or three physicians whose connection with 
 the town was so brief and ephemeral, that we cannot obtain any 
 information with respect to them. There was a Dr. L. K. 
 Hatch, who came to town in 1851 or 1852, and remained about 
 a year. There was also a Dr. George F. Harvey, who came 
 about 1863 or 1864, and remained a very short time. Dr. I. W. 
 Russell, a dentist, was in town for a short time, in 1855-56. 
 
 Dr. Hamilton Osgood practised medicine in Dublin nearly 
 six years, from about 1891 until 1897, and sometimes in later 
 years. He was one of the summer colony and not a legal resi- 
 dent of the town. 
 
 Dr. Edmund Channing Stowell, a graduate of Harvard Uni- 
 versity in 1888, and of the Harvard Medical School in 1892, 
 has spent many seasons in Dublin, in a house upon the road on 
 the south side of the lake. While living here, his professional 
 services have been available, and his wife, Mrs. Sarah R. 
 Stowell, also practises medicine. They have purchased what is 
 known as the Shaker farm, near the eastern edge of Marl- 
 borough and near the Dublin line, in the north-west corner of 
 Jaffrey. A part of the land on this farm is in Dublin.

PHYSICIANS, SICKNESS, AND MORTALITY 601 
 
 Dr. Joel Ernest Goldthwait, a graduate of the Harvard 
 Medical School in 1890, who had taken a degree at Boston 
 University in 1885, lived many summers in a summer residence 
 on what was once the Calvin Mason place in Dublin, but is 
 now located in the southern part of the present township of 
 Harrisville. He came here for rest, and his practice, while here, 
 may be said to have been merely incidental. 
 
 Dr. Curtis Augustine Wood, born in Dublin, April 7, 1846, 
 graduated at the Dartmouth Medical School in 1869. He prac- 
 tised medicine a long time in Greenville, N. H. He returned to 
 his native town about 1897 and lived in the house where his 
 ancestors had lived before him, on the Peterborough road. 
 He had a quite extensive practice and was esteemed by his 
 fellow-townsmen. Dr. Smith's health had failed, and much of 
 his practice now devolved upon Dr. Wood. Dr. Wood, while 
 attending a patient, contracted an infectious disease, of which 
 he died, December 1, 1902. Mrs. Wood did not long survive 
 her husband. Their only son and child, Ralph C, lives upon 
 the homestead. 
 
 Dr. Alfred Henry Childs succeeded to the practice of Dr. 
 Smith and Dr. Wood. He was a graduate of Harvard Univer- 
 sity, magna cum laude, in 1897, and of the Harvard Medical 
 School in 1901. He came to Dublin in 1903. He Hved a few 
 years in the Unitarian parsonage, but is now living in the so- 
 called Rufus Piper house, where Rufus P. Pierce lived at the 
 time of his decease. Dr. Childs has been very successful and 
 has a very large practice. He is now (1916) the only physician 
 in town. 
 
 In the early period of the settlement of Dublin, it has been 
 said that fever and ague prevailed extensively; but for many 
 years past no cases have been known unless contracted in some 
 other region. 
 
 No full record of births, deaths, ages, and diseases has been 
 kept in this town. In the partial records in the office of the 
 town-clerk, we find the births pretty fully recorded, but only a 
 small portion of the deaths. 
 
 In the year 1777, the dysentery prevailed, and twenty deaths 
 are recorded as having occurred in the months of July, August, 
 and September. All, except one, Abigail Mitchell, were children 
 or youths. There were only three other deaths recorded for 
 the whole year. 
 
 From January, 1820, until the close of his active pastorate, in 
 1854, a full record of deaths in the town was kept by Rev. Dr. 
 
602 
 
 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Leonard, the pastor of the First Church. The ages of the per- 
 sons who died, and their diseases, when known, are noted in 
 this record. Rev. Messrs. Bridge and Rice continued the 
 same, with not quite the same degree of fulness and precision. 
 The later pastors have recorded the deaths of persons whose 
 funerals they personally attended, occasionally noting other 
 deaths. 
 
 The following table shows the number of deaths at different 
 ages, in periods of five years, between 1820 and 1852: — 
 
 Under one year of age 
 From one to five years 
 From five to ten . .

 This statement is from the former history. The numbers there 
 given, and here repeated, make a total of five hundred eight- 
 een. Dr. Leonard's total — five hundred twenty — was doubt- 
 less right. In printing, a 5 in the last column of figures, in the 
 manuscript, might easily have been mistaken for a 3. 
 
 The average population for the thirty-two years previous to 
 1852 was eleven hundred sixty-seven; and, of course, the num- 
 ber of deaths per annum must have been one out of seventy- 
 one and four-fifths, or one and thirty-nine hundredths per cent. 
 The United States census makes the annual deaths per cent in 
 the New England States one and fifty-five hundredths, or one 
 death out of sixty-four persons. In the Middle States, with Ohio, 
 the annual percentage of deaths is the same as that of Dublin, 
 for the same period, namely, one and thirty-nine hundredths. 
 This was nearly one death to every seventy-two persons of the 
 population. 
 
 From 1820 to 1852, eighty-seven persons died of consumption 
 in Dublin. No other disease has proved so fatal. It has been 
 supposed by some that it is more prevalent here than in other 
 places; but, by examining other bills of mortality, we find that 
 an equally large proportion of deaths are ascribed to this disease 
 in many towns of New England. 
 
 The number of deaths in Dublin, during the above period. 
 
/r/t 
 
PHYSICIANS, SICKNESS, AND MORTALITY 603 
 
 from scarlet fever was twenty-four; from dysentery, eighteen; 
 from typhoid fever, thirty; and from croup, fifteen. 
 
 The number of deaths in each month of twenty-five years, 
 beginning with 1820, was as follows: in the month of January, 
 thirty-eight; February, thirty-eight; March, thirty-eight; 
 April, thirty-three; May, thirty-seven; June, thirty-three; July, 
 twenty-eight; August, thirty-six; September, thirty; October, 
 forty-three; November, thirty-eight; December, forty- three. 
 It will be noted that the number of deaths in October was un- 
 usually large. Having seen that tuberculosis was by far the 
 most fatal of all maladies during that period, the supposition 
 probably proved to be correct that consumptive patients are 
 very likely to die when the leaves fall. 
 
 It will be perceived that a large number of persons in Dublin 
 have survived the age of seventy years, the whole number, 
 within the period considered, having been one hundred nine- 
 teen; that is, one death of every four and one- third. According 
 to tables kept in Prussia, the persons dying over seventy years 
 of age were one to eight and one-half. In Concord, N. H., 
 a record of deaths, from 1805 to 1820, showed that one out of 
 six attained the age of seventy and upwards. Dr. Leonard's 
 object in presenting these facts was to show that the bill of mor- 
 tality in Dublin was a most favorable showing as compared 
 with statistics in other places. We feel that the same is true of 
 the Dublin of to-day, although the facts are not at hand to 
 enable us to reach a definite conclusion upon the subject. 
 Tuberculosis seems to be much less prevalent than formerly, 
 in proportion to the size of the population. In recent years, very 
 few deaths have resulted from scarlet fever or dysentery. 
 
 In 1853, Dr. Leonard stated in the former history of the town 
 that the following persons survived the age of ninety years: 
 Daniel Albert, ninety-six; Ebenezer Hill, ninety-one; Widow 
 Carlton, ninety-two; Widow Rollins, ninety-eight; Kezia, 
 widow of Ivory Perry, ninety -four; Lydia, widow of Samuel 
 Fisher, ninety-six; Olive, widow of Richard PhiHips, ninety-five; 
 Deacon Francis Appleton, ninety. Dr. Leonard also stated that 
 Joshua Stanford, who was born in Sudbury, Mass., March 27, 
 1753, was still living, in August, 1854, in the one hundred 
 second year of his age. He was then able to do some work. 
 He could read without glasses, but his hearing was very imper- 
 fect. He did not long survive the writing of those words. He 
 died, March 20 (or 19), 1855, having completed, within a week, 
 one hundred two years. 
 
604 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 The church records give the death of another Joshua Stan- 
 ford, who died, December, 1855, at the age of ninety-nine. It 
 is probable that the Rev. Mr. Bridge, who made the record, 
 used the word Joshua where he should have had Josiah Stan- 
 ford, a brother of Joshua, three or four years younger. 
 
 Since the former history was published the following names 
 must be added to complete the list to the present year (1916) : 
 Elizabeth, widow of Abijah Richardson, ninety; Isaac Apple- 
 ton, ninety-one; Jeremiah Bemis, ninety-one; Mrs. Anne 
 Augur, ninety-seven; John Perry, ninety-five; Rebecca, widow 
 of Nathaniel Belknap, one hundred two years and one month, 
 the oldest person who ever lived in the town; Benjamin Mar- 
 shall, ninety-four; Betsy, widow of Rev. Elijah Willard, at Pot- 
 tersville, ninety -five; Dorothy, widow of David Townsend, Jr., 
 ninety-seven; Lucy, widow of Stephen Cogswell, ninety-two; 
 Sally Smith, ninety-nine; Anna, widow of Col. Rufus Piper, 
 ninety-two; Hervey Learned, ninety-two; Moses Eaton, Jr., 
 ninety; Rebecca Pratt, widow of Moses Eaton, Jr., ninety- 
 three; Tamesin, widow of Malachi Richardson, ninety-one; 
 Deacon Jesse Ripley Appleton, ninety-five; Julia Piper, widow 
 of Dexter Derby, ninety-two; Diantha L. Fiske, ninety. 
 
 Warren L. Fiske, Esq., was ninety years of age, March 12, 
 1916. Asa Knowlton was eighty-two, March 2, 1916. John A. 
 Upton was eighty-two in June, 1916. 
 
 Besides those who were over ninety years of age at death, 
 we have noticed, in compiling the genealogies, that the follow- 
 ing had reached the ninetieth year, dying before they had quite 
 attained that age: Jonas Brooks Piper, a former resident; 
 Charles W. Gowing; Mrs. Olive G. Marble; Thomas Perry; 
 Ebenezer Burpee; Mrs. Julia Piper; Levi Johnson; and John 
 Wilson Learned.

CHAPTER XVII 
 
 Dublin as a Summer Resort 
 
 /V.NY native of Dublin who returned to the place of his birth 
 to enjoy the festivities of the centennial celebration, in 1852, 
 found the town looking very much as it had looked for a quarter 
 of a century. The farmhouses were all occupied, herds and 
 flocks were grazing in the hill pastures, teams of heavy oxen 
 were drawing large loads of new hay into the barns,. schools 
 were in session in the then ten districts of the town, each house 
 being comfortably filled, and among all the families of the town, 
 as a rule, there was a mutual acquaintance and a general spirit 
 of friendship, love, and good-will. If any survivor of that 
 festival were now to revisit his native town, and drive over the 
 highways, and survey the different sections of the township, 
 he would hardly realize that he was in the municipality in 
 which he was born, so many and so far-reaching have been 
 the changes. 
 
 The causes of these changes have been various. Deaths, 
 removals from town, the loss of young men in the Civil War, 
 the decreasing number of children in families (almost to the 
 vanishing point in some cases), and the business attractions 
 of larger places for young men who have received a better 
 education than it was possible for boys to obtain when families 
 were larger, have all tended to depopulate the town. The chief 
 cause, however, for the greatest physical changes which have 
 been wrought in the place is the coming of the summer visitors. 
 
 The unsurpassed natural beauty of Dublin could not always 
 be kept from the knowledge of those who seek to find an escape 
 from the confusion and heat of a crowded city during the sum- 
 mer months. Natives of Dublin were prominent residents and 
 business men of Boston and other cities. RecaUing the loveli- 
 ness of their old home, their thoughts naturally turned to 
 Dublin, to its green hills and glassy lakes, its ancient church, 
 and its intelligent and hospitable inhabitants, as furnishing the 
 ideal conditions for a restful and delightful summer. 
 
 Thus we find, as early as 1840, the daughters of Solomon 
 Piper, a prosperous merchant of Boston and a native of Dublin, 
 
606 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 spending the summer with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. 
 John Piper. This may properly be called the beginning of 
 summer boarding, by city people, in the town, which was des- 
 tined to become a large business. Friends of these ladies soon 
 followed them. In 1846, Miss Hannah Piper, a sister of Solo- 
 mon and a member of his household, married Jackson Green- 
 wood of Dublin, who lived where Mrs. Harriet Greenwood 
 now lives. She arranged to fill her house with summer guests, 
 who were charmed with the town and its people. Among Mrs. 
 Greenwood's guests was Theodore Parker, one of the most 
 vigorous thinkers of his day, whose life-work gave a great im- 
 petus to the study of theology in the true, scientific spirit. 
 Mr. Parker spent two seasons here. 
 
 About 1851, Mr. Solomon Piper purchased the house which, 
 in a remodelled form, has later been occupied by Washington 
 Proctor and John A. Upton. Mr. Piper used this for a summer 
 residence. Perhaps this was the beginning of the ownership of 
 summer residences in Dublin by city people. 
 
 Among those who early opened their homes to receive sum- 
 mer guests, the names of Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Morse will 
 long be remembered. Heretofore, the summer visitors had been 
 accommodated in the lower part of the village, but when Mr. 
 and Mrs. Thaddeus Morse received guests in the summer of 
 1857, it introduced this class of visitors to the very heart of 
 Dublin's scenic charms, with Monadnock Lake in front of the 
 house, and one of the finest views of Monadnock Mountain in 
 the rear. Many persons of distinction were entertained in this 
 ancient mansion. The Lombards were here in 1859. In 1863 
 came the Page and Jameson families. Mr. James A. Page 
 was the principal of a Boston school, and is now the oldest 
 survivor of those who have received honorary degrees from 
 Harvard University. Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Deblois came here in 
 1866 and for several years afterwards. Mr. and Mrs. Wyman 
 came on their wedding trip in 1867. Miss Mary Ann Wales 
 came first in 1868, also the Bacons. Mr. and Mrs. James Em- 
 erton were there in 1879. From 1857 until 1881, in which latter 
 year the death of Mr. Morse occurred, this house was filled 
 every summer with the best of people. Many of these boarders 
 eventually acquired summer homes of their own in Dublin 
 and are among the more prominent of the summer colony. 
 After the death of Mrs. Morse, in 1884, the place passed into 
 the possession of Mr. Daniel A. Dwight of Boston, who con- 
 tinued to occupy it every season, until his death a few years 
 
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT 607 
 
 ago, since which it has been in possession of his daughter, 
 Mrs. F. D. Clark. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Myrick came to Dublin from Chelsea, 
 Mass., in 1864, and purchased the Hayward farm, overlooking 
 the lake. They paid the modest price of a Dublin farm at that 
 time. In those days, scenic attractions would not have been 
 considered in a purchase price. To-day, many times the 
 amount given would be refused as a price for the estate. Mr. 
 and Mrs. Myrick, rather reluctantly, consented to board for a 
 time three young men from Jamaica Plain, Mass. This was 
 the beginning of what proved to be a most important under- 
 taking. In 1868, there came to Mr. Myrick's the family of 
 John Osgood of Boston, which led to the coming of the family 
 of Prof. Lewis B. Monroe, who married a daughter of JVIr. Os- 
 good. With them came also the family of Dr. Hamilton Os- 
 good. There came to town, about the same time, Mrs. J. S. C. 
 Greene and Gen. Caspar Crowninshield. Professor Monroe 
 purchased the Myrick place in 1872, and made it his summer 
 home until his death in 1879. A daughter of the Monroes 
 married the painter, Eric Pape, and another daughter married 
 the sculptor, George Gray Barnard. This place is still in the 
 possession of Mrs. Monroe. The Greenes afterwards established 
 themselves on the south side of the lake. General Crownin- 
 shield built the attractive cottage now owned by Miss Amy 
 Lowell, and one on what was formerly the Capt. Dexter Mason 
 farm. It was largely due to General Crowninshield that Dublin 
 became so famous as a summer resort. He was a man of wealth 
 and social influence in Boston, connected with the most re- 
 spectable families, and popular in the leading clubs. Through 
 his exertions, persons prominent in social, literary, and cultured 
 circles were led to select Dublin for a summer home. After his 
 death, his beautiful Dublin homes passed into the possession of 
 his daughters. One is now owned by his granddaughter, Mrs. 
 Constance (Coolidge) Atherton. 
 
 These experiments in summer boarding soon led to the open- 
 ing of other houses for that purpose. This line of business may 
 be said to have reached its height about 1879 or 1880, when 
 no less than ten or a dozen houses in the town were crowded to 
 overflowing. Besides those already mentioned, several other 
 persons engaged in the business. Among those who came each 
 season were many Boston school-teachers, and all who came, as 
 a rule, were refined and agreeable persons, representing the 
 best elements of the communities in which they lived. They 
 
608 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 found accommodations in the homes already mentioned and in 
 the houses of John Gleason (who was succeeded by Rufus P. 
 Pierce), John H. Mason, J. S. May, Mrs. C. May, George A. 
 Cowing, Joseph Morse, Walter J. Greenwood, Samuel Adams, 
 Jr., J. L. Adams, George W. Conant, Mrs. B. Estey, Mrs. P. 
 F. Nice, Miss Anna Betts, A. R. Burton, Mrs. Persis Rice, 
 Washington Proctor, Samuel F. Townsend, and perhaps others. 
 
 The business of summer boarding in private houses gradually 
 declined, and visitors who did not own cottages were, for sev- 
 eral years, entertained at the Leffingwell or the Boulderstone. 
 The Leflfingwell, long the only hotel in the town, was formerly 
 the residence of a village merchant, whose store adjoined the 
 house. It was a good old mansion and in some of the rooms 
 the panels, cornices, and wainscoting were tasteful in design 
 and attractive to guests. It was built by Joseph Appleton and 
 was purchased by Dr. C. H. Leffingwell of Providence, R. I., 
 in 1871. After being used as a private boarding house for a 
 few years, it was opened as a hotel, in 1877, and called the 
 Appleton House, from the name of its builder and long-time 
 owner. It was managed by Dr. LeflBngwell's son, Henry R. 
 Leffingwell. The table was excellent, the rooms were kept in 
 perfect order, the scenic views (including the whole Pack Mo- 
 nadnock range) were of the finest, the air was salubrious, and 
 hundreds of guests from all parts of the country enjoyed the 
 comforts, the charms, and the quiet restfulness of this hospi- 
 table inn. Large additions were made to the building from 
 time to time, creating, at last, a rather fantastic structure in 
 which it would have been difficult for an old resident to recog- 
 nize the former home of Joseph Appleton. After prospering 
 for more than thirty years, the business of this house, largely 
 as the result of the building of cottages for their personal use 
 by so many of the summer colony, began to decline. Finally, 
 on the evening of November 22, 1908, this ancient structure 
 was completely destroyed by a fire, whose origin still remains 
 a mystery. 
 
 The Boulderstone, owned by Mrs. Richard Burton, con- 
 sisted of two cottages on the easterly slope of Snow Hill, which 
 were opened as a boarding-house in 1888. The appointments 
 were calculated to suit the tastes of the best class of guests. 
 After serving this purpose for a few years, the buildings were 
 used as cottages for private families. 
 
 About 1895, the old Heald Hotel, which had been a stage 
 tavern for more than three-quarters of a century, passed into 
 
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT 609 
 
 new hands and was fitted for an inn. In 1899, Henry R. Leffing- 
 well, proprietor of the Appleton House, which name was 
 changed to "The LefBngwell," took into his hands this old 
 tavern in the lower village and called it the LeflBngwell Inn. 
 The prices were somewhat more moderate than those charged 
 at "The Leffingwell," but the accommodations were of the 
 best. After the destruction of the upper hotel by fire, Mr. 
 LefBngwell continued to do business at the Inn for a time, but 
 eventualy moved from town. This building is a well-preserved 
 specimen of an old-time three-story mansion. It is still used 
 for a public house in the summer and, from its proprietor, 
 Walter E. French, known as Frenchs Inn, and is patronized 
 by a good class of guests. 
 
 To the summer boarding-houses and inns succeeded the 
 cottagers, who now constitute the rank and file of the numerous 
 summer colony. Dublin is divided ino two somewhat unequall 
 sections by a high ridge of land extending from the northern 
 edge of Beech Mountain, in a outhwesterly direction, to 
 Monadnock Mountain in the south-west part of the town. 
 This high ridge or watershed is the dividing line between the 
 Connecticut and Merrimack River basins, or, speaking more 
 properly, between the valley of the Ashuelot River, which 
 flows into the Connecticut, and the valley of the Contoocook 
 River, which flows into the Merrimack. The section of the town 
 west of this watershed contains Monadnock Lake, the north- 
 ern and western slopes of Monadnock Mountain, and many 
 hills on whose summits and slopes are choice viewpoints which 
 have been eagerly selected as locations for cottages by wealthy 
 citizens of Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and other 
 cities. From most of the locations selected for cottages are fine 
 views of the lake, Mount Monadnock, and the long range of the 
 Green Mountains of Vermont, together with many hills and 
 mountains situated between them and Dublin. 
 
 The first summer cottage, properly so called, in the town, 
 was built by Mrs. J. S. C. Greene. It was begun in 1872 and 
 occupied in 1873. The next two cottages were built by Dr. 
 Hamilton Osgood and Gen. Caspar Crowninshield. These 
 were on the north side of the lake. Mrs. Greene and Dr. Os- 
 good afterwards built cottages upon the south side of the lake. 
 These first cottages upon the south side were the beginning of 
 a settlement sometimes called the "Latin Quarter." In 1879, 
 there were eight summer cottages in town, five of which were 
 new that year. Between 1879 and 1893, the number had in- 
 
610 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 creased to fifty-six. At the present time (1916), there are not 
 less than ninety cottages in Dublin, many of them very elegant 
 and costly. 
 
 Among those who have made permanent homes in Dublin, 
 coming here from large places, are the well-known portrait 
 painters, Abbott H. Thayer and George deForest Brush. 
 Along with these should also be mentioned William Preston 
 Phelps, a landscape painter with a well-earned reputation, a 
 native of Dublin, professionally educated in Germany, who 
 lives and has a studio in Chesham village, formerly a part of 
 Dublin. Col. George E. Leighton of St. Louis, who purchased 
 the Gleason farm, built an elegant summer cottage upon a com- 
 manding position overlooking the lake. His son. Col. George 
 B. Leighton, who succeeded him upon the estate, is a legal 
 resident of Dublin, and his landed interests include five of the 
 important old farms of the town, two of them being within the 
 present limits of Harrisville. Much money has been spent in 
 developing these farms. A large force of men is constantly 
 employed upon them, and the dairy products, poultry, vege- 
 tables, and maple sugar produced upon them have found a 
 ready market. Miss Edith Page, who died in the summer of 
 1916, purchased the Derby farm, in the southern part of the 
 town, several years ago. She was much interested in agricul- 
 tural matters and enjoyed the development of her farm and 
 dairy stock, upon which she spent considerable sums of money. 
 Another gentleman who has become a legal resident of the town 
 is William B. Cabot, who has built a handsome cottage near 
 the village. He has been much interested in the exploration of 
 Labrador and the north-eastern portion of the habitable part 
 of Canada, and has given much attention to the languages and 
 habits of the Indians of those regions, and of the Algonquin 
 dialects. 
 
 About 1885, Dr. Horace P. Farnham, a skilful and successful 
 New York physician, purchased a part of the old town com- 
 mon and erected an attractive mansion almost exactly upon 
 the spot formerly occupied by the second meetinghouse of the 
 First Congregational (now Unitarian) Society. His widow, 
 whose benefactions will be gratefully remembered, still oc- 
 cupies this house each summer. She built the fine stone library 
 in the village, in memory of her husband, of which a descrip- 
 tion has been given in another chapter. James Harding Froth- 
 ingham of Boston built an elegant cottage nearly upon the 
 site of the former Town House upon another part of the com- 
 
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT 611 
 
 mon. He also purchased and remodelled the old Sprague 
 mansion, later known as the Waite house. Mr. Frothingham 
 was very fond of Dublin, and his mortal remains rest in the 
 village cemetery. 
 
 The elaborate residence, built several years ago, by E. H. 
 Hamilton, a native of the town, being thought to be favorably 
 situated for a summer hotel, was recently purchased by Fred- 
 erick S. Willcox of Aiken, S. C, and fitted for such a purpose. 
 The appointments were of the best and the prices made to cor- 
 respond. Persons prepared to pay such prices now rarely come 
 to Dublin, except as cottagers. Mr. Willcox did not use the 
 house for an inn more than two or three seasons. He has oc- 
 cupied it two summers as a private residence for his own family. 
 Many eminent men and statesmen have been attracted to 
 Dublin because of its elegant scenery and the high character 
 of both the resident inhabitants and the summer visitors. 
 Among those who have passed their summers here may be 
 named the Right Hon. (now Viscount) James Bryce, a former 
 British Ambassador to the United States, who was here several 
 seasons; Count Speck von Sternberg, a former German Ambas- 
 sador to this country; the Hon. Henry White, a former Ambas- 
 sador of the United States to Italy, and also to France; the 
 Hon. Franklin MacVeagh, a former Secretary of the Treasury; 
 the Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, a former Secretary of the 
 Interior; Senator A. J. Beveridge of Indiana; Rear Admiral J. 
 G. Walker; Lieut. Commander Simms; and Lieut. Commander 
 J. M. Reeves. Brief visits have been made by many persons of 
 distinction, including, among others, President William H. 
 Taft, who was here twice during his term of office. 
 
 Among authors, men of letters, and college professors who 
 have spent summers in Dublin, nearly all of them owning their 
 own cottages, have been the following: Col. Thomas Went- 
 worth Higginson, who was fondly attached to the place and 
 was helpful in civic improvements and the interests of the old 
 church, wdiose cottage was recently purchased by Prof. Kenneth 
 Brown; Prof. Raphael Pumpelly, whose geological researches 
 in this country and Asia have made him widely known, whose 
 cottage, on the north-eastern spur of the Monadnock foothills, 
 overlooking the lake, is one of the highest in town; Prof. Al- 
 bert Bushnell Hart, editor of that series of volumes known as 
 "The American Nation: a History," and of many other valu- 
 able historical works; Prof. Richard Burton, well known 
 through his poems and essays; Prof. John Osborne Sumner; 
 
612 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Basil King; Moorefield Storey, author of a life of Charles Sum- 
 ner; Prof. Charles E. Dana; Winston Churchill; Mrs. Kate 
 Gannett Wells; Samuel L. Clemens, more familiarly known 
 by his pseudonym, Mark Twain, who rented a cottage here for 
 two seasons; and Prof. Henrj' AV. Rolfe of Leland Stanford 
 University. 
 
 Besides the artists already mentioned, Dublin has attracted 
 Joseph Lindon Smith, whose cottage on the lake shore is beau- 
 tiful for situation, and whose Italian garden and theatre are 
 not only attractive in appearance, but have furnished much 
 enjoyment to many who have been entertained therein; also 
 Edmund C. Tarbell, Frank W. Benson, Birge Harrison, Miss 
 Rose Lamb, Stanley Mortimer, John H. Prentice, and others 
 who have remained for brief intervals of time only. Among 
 clergymen who have built or rented cottages have been Rev. 
 Reuben Kidner, Rev. George F. Weld, and Rev. L. H. Thayer. 
 The latter was from Portsmouth, and his cottage was within 
 the limits of Harrisville. Rev. Robert Collyer of Chicago 
 (later of New York) was in town for portions of several sea- 
 sons, and his voice was frequently heard in the Unitarian 
 church. We have already mentioned Rev. Theodore Parker. 
 Rev. Samuel Hobart Winkley, an honored preacher of the 
 Unitarian faith for more than half a century in Boston, passed 
 many summers in Dublin, and died here in 1911. Rev. William 
 R. Alger, another noted Unitarian divine, who succeeded Theo- 
 dore Parker as a preacher in the Boston Music Hall, was an 
 occasional summer visitor here, as was also Rev. William C. 
 Winslow. Rev. John C. Learned of St. Louis, a native of Dub- 
 lin, never forgot the town of his birth and honored it with 
 frecj[uent visits. The same was true, in former years, of the 
 brothers Rev. George F. and Rev. Samuel F. Clark. Rev. 
 Henry Meyer, an Episcopalian clergyman of Philadelphia, 
 was here in the seventies and, as we have seen, conducted the 
 first services in Dublin according to the ritual of that church. 
 The Rev. Dr. Goodwin of the Episcopal Theological School in 
 Philadelphia was here in the summers of 1879 and 1880, and 
 preached on Sundays in the Unitarian meeting house. Other 
 preachers of that faith have made shorter visits, and the 
 Bishop of New Hampshire makes a yearly visit to the town, 
 which is always an occasion of much interest. 
 
 Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, a Boston physician, had a cottage 
 upon the height of land between Dublin and Harrisville, with 
 a broad view of the surrounding country, north, west, and south. 
 
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT 613 
 
 Dr. E. Lindon Melius of Baltimore owns a cottage on the 
 south-eastern slope of Beech Mountain. Dr. Edmund Chan- 
 ning Stowell lived many summers on the south side of the lake 
 and is now living on the old Shaker farm, in the north-west 
 corner of Jaffrey. The latter's wife, Mrs. Sarah R. Stowell, is 
 likewise a physician. Dr. Hamilton Osgood, whom we have 
 already mentioned, was, for many seasons, a welcome and 
 helpful summer resident, as was also Dr. H. K. Faulkner of 
 Keene. Another valued summer resident, whose professional 
 services have been of great benefit to the town, is Mr. John 
 Lawrence Mauran, an architect from St. Louis, who furnished 
 plans for the public library, for the new schoolhouse in process 
 of erection in the village, and for the alterations to be made 
 upon the front of the Town Hall, that its architecture .may be 
 in harmony with that of the ancient church across the street. 
 
 Other esteemed cottagers in the town have been Henry 
 Copley Greene, Ernest F. Henderson, William Amory (whose 
 widow has made valuable improvements upon the estate), 
 Mrs. Fannie D. Clark (whose summer home, long the residence 
 of the late Thaddeus Morse, had been occupied many seasons 
 by her father, the late Daniel A. Dwiglit), Misses Ida and 
 Ellen Mason, Miss L. S. Brewer, Mrs. George B. Upton, Miss 
 Amy Lowell (a sister of President Lowell of Harvard Univer- 
 sity), Mrs. Edward Frothingham, Miss Susan Upham, and 
 others who have come from Boston; also A. J. Parsons, recently 
 deceased, of Washington, D. C; Francis M. Jencks of Balti- 
 more; Daniel Catlin, Daniel K. Catlin, Mrs. J. G. Chapman, 
 Mrs. Mary MacKittrick, George D. Markham, Thomas H. 
 MacKittrick, Miss Mary Lionberger, and others, from St. 
 Louis; Charles MacVeagh, Miss Rebecca A. Caldwell, Mrs. 
 H. P. Farnham, Mrs. L. B. Monroe, and others, from New 
 York; Mrs. Marshall Field of Chicago; and John J. Allbright 
 of Buffalo. Among those who have been here in more recent 
 years are Arthur Lyman, Robert Treat Paine, Mrs. Josiah 
 Bradlee, and Sumner B. Pearmain, of Boston; also Miss Al- 
 berta M. Houghton, whose estate includes the former Darra- 
 cott farm, Mrs. Otto F. Mertsch, Miss Georgiana Musgrave, 
 Miss Martha Silsbee, Miss Alice H. Upton, Mrs. Charles F. 
 Aldrich, and Mrs. Caroline Williams. 
 
 That section of Dublin on the east of the dividing ridge, 
 which slopes to the east, still belongs quite largely to what may 
 be called the native stock of the town. The western slope has 
 drawn the greater number of city purchasers. The eastern 
 
614 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 slope, however, is not without its attractions. From the 
 higher elevations in this section may be obtained a magnificent 
 view of the whole range of the Pack IMonadnock Mountains, 
 from the Hurd and Holt Hills in Nelson, along the peaks and 
 ridges of the Thumb, Skatutahkee, Hale, Pack Monadnock, 
 Temple, Barrett, and Kidder Mountains, to Watatick in the 
 south. These mountains never look finer than in the winter, 
 when there is more or less snow upon them. The bare rocks 
 and ledges present a bluish appearance, which, contrasted 
 with the white snow, upon a clear day, produces a charming 
 effect. Many visitors now come to town in the winter to enjoy 
 these beautiful views, to coast down the hills, and to take 
 tramps upon snow-shoes and slide on skees. 
 
 The scenic beauties of this section have not escaped the 
 eyes of those who were searching for attractive building sites. 
 Several of the cottages already mentioned are upon this side 
 of the town, including those of Mr. Jencks (near the summit 
 of Beech Mountain), Dr. Melius, Miss Brewer, Professor Bur- 
 ton, Hon. Franklin MacVeagh, Prof. A. B. Hart, William B. 
 Cabot, Rev. Reuben Kidner, and others which are situated 
 along the summit of the dividing ridge, from which a view may 
 be had in either direction. Other summer residents on the 
 eastern slope are Mrs. A. J. Parsons, Miss Adele G. Thayer, 
 Louis Cabot (whose estate includes several of the old farms in 
 Dublin), Miss Minnie Preble (upon the Edith Page estate), 
 and Prof. Jeffrey R. Brackett of Simmons College, whose land 
 is largely in Peterborough, and from whose cottage one has a 
 view that could not be finer. 
 
 Although the coming of the city people has brought a new 
 life, with many new forms of pleasure and amusement, and 
 has wrought many transformations in the general appearance 
 of the town, the delightful simplicity, the patient industry, 
 the kindly feeling, the generous hospitality, the high character, 
 and quiet dignity of those of the old stock who still remain are 
 as noticeable as ever in the past. Formerly the city visitors 
 and the town people mingled, in social functions, much more 
 freely than is the case to-day. At present, the functions of the 
 summer colony are principally confined to those who con- 
 stitute that class. The same is true of the native citizens. 
 Their different interests render it impractical that it should 
 be otherwise. At the same time, there is the most perfect har- 
 mony and good feeling between all classes in the community. 
 Their mutual relations are characterized by the utmost cour- 
 
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT 615 
 
 tesy, frankness, and confidence. The advent of the city people 
 has led to many improvements that would never have come 
 without them. Improved highways, good public buildings, cer- 
 tain adornments of the village, and a general activity and ap- 
 pearance of animation throughout the town are traceable to 
 this source. The churches, the stores, and the philanthropic 
 interests of the town are greatly helped by them. The old farms 
 have very generally disappeared. In the place of the ancient 
 farmhouse has arisen the fine mansion of the cottager. In the 
 place of the open field, the trees and shrubs have sprung up. 
 The change from the old Dublin to the new is most noticeable 
 in the winter, when few of the visitors are here, when many of 
 the highways are disused, and a feeling of loneliness comes over 
 the town. 
 
 Little or nothing has been done in a public way to advertise 
 the beauties of Dublin, because a general rush of any who might 
 come has not been desired. The greatest care has been used to 
 prevent the desirable locations from falling into the hands of 
 speculators, or of persons whose presence would mar the high 
 character of the standard which has been set by those who have 
 already established summer homes in this municipality. In 
 this respect, Dublin ranks with Lenox, Newport, Petersham, 
 Walpole, Cornish, and other towns in which the greatest pains 
 have been taken to ward off all evil and undesirable influences, 
 and to welcome only that which tends to promote the refine- 
 ment, morality, and best interests of the town. 
 
 The Dublin Lake Club, organized a few years ago, is a centre 
 for the social activities of the summer residents. Besides pro- 
 viding open air amusements and recreations, it has a good pa- 
 vilion on the club grounds, at the east end of the lake, in which 
 there are frequent entertainments of a literary and cultural 
 character. Authors, statesmen, philanthropists, and workers 
 in the various fields of human betterment have addressed the 
 members of the club and their guests, who assemble in that 
 building upon every Saturday afternoon during the season. 
 Besides addresses upon historical and literary subjects, and 
 musical entertainments, many speakers have ably discussed 
 present-day topics in which all persons are interested. These 
 Saturday afternoon entertainments have been marked features 
 in the life of those who compose the club membership, to such 
 an extent that other engagements are rarely made for that 
 afternoon. The club has not only made life in Dublin attrac- 
 
616 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 tive throughout the season, but its functions have been instruc- 
 tive and edifying as well as enjoyable. 
 
 The Golf Club, whose club house stands at the head of the 
 Troy road, on the site of the house built by tlie first permanent 
 English settler of the township, is another centre of attraction 
 for the city people who sojourn here for a time. The grounds 
 are well provided with ample facilities for the enjoyment of 
 the recreation for which they were designed. 
 
 It is already more than a half -century since the city people 
 began to pass the summer months in Dublin in considerable 
 numbers. There have been many who came for a long term of 
 years. Of these a large number have already entered the life 
 beyond. Upon nearly every estate which borders upon the 
 lake the head of the household has been removed by death 
 w thin the last few years. The same is true with respect to 
 several who were accustomed to pass the summer in other 
 parts of the town. Many of those who were most prominent 
 and most highly esteemed among that class of people have 
 joined the great majority. These sad occurrences are producing 
 constant changes in the personnel of the cottagers; but the high 
 standard is still maintained, and we may well believe that, for 
 many years to come, perhaps for all time, Dublin will be re- 
 garded as one of the most desirable and most delightful sum- 
 mer resorts in America. 
 
CHAPTER XVIII 
 
 Occupants of Lots 
 
 1 HE first person named in the following list of occupants and 
 owners of lots, or parts of lots, in Dublin is supposed to have 
 been the first settler of the lot (or particular part of the lot) 
 under consideration. The other names (in each group) are 
 arranged, as nearly as could be ascertained, in the order of 
 their succession. In this respect there are doubtless many 
 errors, especially with regard to residents upon a particular 
 house-lot, who were tenants and not owners. The names of 
 present occupants, or owners, are in italics. Many of the lots 
 have been divided and subdivided, and, of course, many 
 farms contain land extending into different lots. On many 
 
 lots there have been several settlements. When a dash ( ) 
 
 is placed before a name, it is meant to indicate the first settler 
 on another part of the lot; but accuracy in this respect was 
 not attainable; and, where there have been many houses 
 erected on the same lot, we found the difficulty greatly in- 
 creased. Our arrangement, therefore, cannot, in all cases, be 
 expected to be infallible. The records are very confusing and 
 there are contradictory statements among older residents on 
 the subject, which it has not been possible to reconcile. Bes. 
 is annexed to the names of those who were residents (tenants), 
 not owners. Oumer annexed to a name indicates that the 
 person never resided on the lot, but was the owner of it, 
 either formerly or at present. The numbering of house sites 
 in each lot is the same as on Wadsworth's map of Dublin. 
 His numerical order is not always followed exactly in these 
 lists.

 Since the new town was sep- 
 arated from Dublin, the 
 character of the population

 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 has greatly changed. The 
 different houses, with new 
 ones that have been added, 
 have been tenanted largely by 
 mill operatives of various 
 nationalities, many of whom 
 have remained but a short 
 time. The changes have been 
 so frequent and the number 
 of tenements so many that it 
 would have been a practical 
 impossibility to have traced 
 them. We were, therefore, 
 compelled to abandon the 
 attempt.

CHAPTER XIX 
 Dublin in the World War 
 
 By Hexry D. Allison 
 
 W ELL may the citizens of Dublin look back with pride and 
 satisfaction to the record of their town's participation in the 
 last great war with Germany and the Central Powers. 
 
 Having a population of five hundred and seventy-one peo- 
 ple, twenty-six of her boys were enlisted in the service at the 
 time of the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918. 
 A decided majority of these enlisted men were of native 
 Dublin or New England stock, whose forefathers had strug- 
 gled for freedom in 1776, or, later, had fought in the Civil 
 War; and that the same spirit which summoned their ances- 
 tors to the cause of liberty in the early days still coursed in 
 the blood of these men of the present generation is evidenced 
 from the fact that every native-born Dublin boy was a volun- 
 teer in the service of his country. 
 
 On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Ger- 
 many and officially entered hostilities against her. In order 
 to provide an army capable of turning the scales in favor of 
 the Allies, and at the same time deeming it just that all male 
 citizens throughout the country should be made to feel an 
 equal responsibility. Congress, early in its military program, 
 passed the Selective Service Bill requiring the registration of 
 all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one years. 
 June 5 was set for the registration day, and on this date forty 
 men were recorded in Dublin. 
 
 In the subsequent year, 1918, Congress put through legis- 
 lation calling for two more registrations. On July 5, 1918, all 
 males who had attained their majority during the previous 
 year were required to register. It is a notable fact that, owing 
 to voluntary enlistments, there was no one to record at this 
 date. 
 
 In the summer of 1918, the ages of liability to military serv- 
 ice were extended to a minimum of eighteen, and to a 
 maximum of forty-five years. Under this provision sixty- 
 eight new names were recorded on September 12, 1918. Very 
 few of the men in either the first or third registration were 
 
670 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 actually drafted into the Army, for decidedly the major part 
 of Dublin's soldiers were volunteers. 
 
 Seventeen of our men served in the Army, eight in the 
 Navy, and one in the Marine Corps. Thirteen of them went 
 overseas, and eight fought at the front. During the terrific 
 battles of the war in which our soldiers were engaged and did 
 their full share, including those of St. Mihiel, Belleau Wood, 
 Chateau-Thierry, Toul Sector, Second Battle of the Marne, 
 Chemin des Dames, and others, it is an extraordinary fact 
 that none of them were killed, and but three were seriously 
 wounded or gassed. At the time of this writing nineteen 
 have been honorably discharged from the service, four are 
 still in Europe; but with the war ended there is good reason 
 to expect all of them to return in comfortable health. The 
 three who have been gassed have since greatly improved. 
 Three have been made Ensign, three. Corporal, three. Ser- 
 geant. One has won his commission as 2nd Lieutenant, two 
 have been commissioned 1st Lieutenant, and two, Lieuten- 
 ant in the Navy. Both the 2nd and 26th Divisions, to which 
 some of our boys belonged, have been commended for bravery 
 in action by General Pershing. 
 
 In the summer of 1917, an almost unanimous response 
 came from the townspeople and summer residents for an in- 
 crease of crops and greater harvests. Many vegetables were 
 raised by people who had never, at least in recent years, culti- 
 vated a garden. The school children competed for prizes and 
 made excellent progress in the raising of vegetables from their 
 "War Gardens." The growing of wheat and other cereals, a 
 much neglected but successful crop in the earlier days of the 
 town's history, was again resumed with good success. Excel- 
 lent crop^ rewarded the efforts of those who had worked early 
 and late to assist in increasing the food supply. Henry D. 
 Learned was appointed local Chairman of the Agricultural 
 Committee, and Henry N. Gowing was made Food Adminis- 
 trator. 
 
 Canning demonstrations were given in the vestry of the 
 Unitarian Church, and twice weekly during the summer 
 season, when vegetables were being harvested, the Misses 
 Elizabeth Jencks, Janet Elliott, and other young ladies in 
 charge met to assist, or to can the vegetables brought there. 
 
 During the summer a lecture on the war was given by Pro- 
 fessor Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard University, and Mr, 
 and Mrs. Joseph Lindon Smith spoke on their trip to France 
 
DUBLIN IN THE WORLD WAR 671 
 
 and to the War Zone. Madame Dupriez, who, with her hus- 
 band Professor Dupriez, Exchange Professor at Harvard, and 
 their children, was living in Belgium at the time of that coun- 
 try's invasion by the German army and suffered the hardships 
 imposed, also gave an account of her experience. 
 
 Dublin subscribed more than two hundred and thirty thou- 
 sand dollars toward the first four liberty loans. No fixed 
 amount was apportioned the town in the first two loans, the 
 state being divided into districts, and Dublin was included in 
 the territory with Peterborough as its head. John A. Gleason 
 was made the local Chairman of the third and fourth drives, 
 and Mrs. Ella G. Mason, Ladies' Chairman. As the quota to 
 be raised was based on the town's valuation, Dublin's allot- 
 ment in each instance was higher than that of the majority 
 of places of a similar size, owing to the large amount of sum- 
 mer residential property. Twenty-seven thousand dollars was 
 asked for in the Third Loan and approximately $82,000 raised. 
 Fifty-four thousand and seven hundred dollars was requested in 
 the Fourth Loan and $84,520 subscribed. The Fifth Loan 
 now in progress, is under the direction of Henry D. Allison. 
 Forty-one thousand dollars is Dublin's apportionment and 
 considerably over that sum has been subscribed at the time 
 of this writing. 
 
 Contributions were generously made to the Y. M. C. A. 
 and the Red Cross. Clesson E. Gowing was appointed local 
 chairman for these drives. Upwards of twelve thousand dol- 
 lars was subscribed to the latter organization. On June 29, 
 Howard Elliott, Jr., with four of his mates from St. Mark's 
 School, gave a musical entertainment in the town hall for the 
 aid of the Red Cross. 
 
 Rallies for the sales of W^ar Savings and Thrift Stamps 
 were held in the town hall on June 5 and September 13, with 
 addresses at the first meeting by the Rev. Robert Falconer, 
 who had just returned from over-seas work with the Y. M. 
 C, A., Joseph Madden, Esq., of Keene, and the Rev. Albert 
 Lazenby; the latter meeting was presided over by George D. 
 Markham, Esq., of St. Louis, and the speakers were Hon. 
 Allen Hollis, State W^ar Savings Director, and Bishop Edward 
 Parker of Concord. 
 
 In his final report to December 31, 1918, the State Director 
 announced that the town's sales of War Savings and Thrift 
 Stamps for the year amounted to $10,086.80, equivalent to 
 $17.67 for each person. Thus Dublin was one of five towns in 
 
672 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 Cheshire County to raise more than its allotted quota. 
 Milton D. Mason was the local Chairman of these sales. The 
 thirteen pupils in the village grammar school purchased dur- 
 ing the year $1,475 worth of War Savings Stamps and Liberty 
 Bonds. 
 
 A Salvage Society, the proceeds from the sales of waste 
 material going to the stricken people of Belgium, was organ- 
 ized by Mrs. Abbott Thayer, with the aid of Miss Janet 
 Elliott, and netted a considerable sum. 
 
 Money was also raised for the Italian War Relief Fund, and 
 a campaign was conducted for the Armenian and Near East 
 Relief Fund, with Mrs. Ella G. Mason, Chairman. A sum 
 amounting to about two hundred dollars was yielded from 
 this drive, considerably in excess of the quota asked for. 
 
 After the selective draft became effective, regulations for 
 the rationing of food, particularly with reference to the use 
 of wheat flour, the use of sugar cards by the local store- 
 keepers, the daylight saving plan with clocks set ahead one 
 hour through the summer months, the gasless Sundays, a 
 new and real war condition was felt throughout the com- 
 munity. But so wilhngly and unitedly did people in all walks 
 of life comply with these requests that but little difficulty re- 
 sulted in their enforcement. It was a striking illustration of 
 the unity and efficiency of our democratic form of government 
 that, when a request came from official sources asking auto- 
 mobilists to forego their Sunday pleasure ride in order to help 
 win the war by saving gasoline, nearly everyone complied 
 willingly, and public sentiment alone made it prohibitory for 
 the remainder. 
 
 Mrs. William Brooks Cabot presented the town with a 
 beautiful Service Flag, bearing fourteen stars to represent the 
 number of Dublin boys in the service at the time. The flag 
 was hung from the front window of the town hall. Later in 
 the season Mr. J. L. Mauran, a summer resident and a well- 
 known architect of St. Louis, a former President of the Asso- 
 ciation of American Architects, who designed the Public 
 Library building and the new schoolhouse here, gave a fine 
 large American flag to the town. It floated from the new steel 
 flagstaff in the village oval. 
 
 The oval is the result of a plan worked out by Mr. Mauran, 
 and made financially possible through the aid of summer resi- 
 dents, for beautifying the village street, and includes the re- 
 moval of all electric-light and telephone poles, and the placing 
 
DUBLIN IN THE WORLD WAR 673 
 
 of the wires underground. The display of the Stars and Stripes 
 from this sixty-foot staff in the village center, is particularly 
 beautiful and impressive. 
 
 Rev. Albert Lazenby of Cambridge, Mass., acting pastor of 
 the local Unitarian Church, was responsible for the arrange- 
 ment of several very interesting and helpful patriotic meet- 
 ings during the summer. Mr. Lazenby's daughter was serv- 
 ing as a Red Cross nurse with the Harvard Medical Unit; and 
 one of his sons was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian serv- 
 ice of the British Army. 
 
 Through his efforts a public meeting in commemoration of 
 the outbreak of the war was held in the town hall, on Sunday 
 evening, August 4, at which George D. Markham, Esq., pre- 
 sided. Addresses were made by Charles MacVeagh, Esq., the 
 Reverends R. Kidner and Robert Falconer, Oliver Prescott, 
 Esq., and Hon. William Roscoe Thayer. A collection was 
 taken amounting to two hundred dollars, and contributed to 
 the War Relief Funds of the French, Italian, and Belgians. 
 A message was sent by the Chairman of the meeting to the 
 boys in the service, who had enlisted from the town, and to 
 those who had been accustomed to make Dublin their summer 
 home, as follows: 
 
 "W>, the townspeople and cottagers of Dublin, N. H., in 
 public meeting assembled, send affectionate greetings to our 
 ' Boys ' in the service, and we beg to assure them of our earnest 
 support in the warfare they have undertaken in behalf of 
 justice and freedom, of civilization and humanity. We pray 
 that God will protect them and prosper their arms and give 
 them a speedy victory." 
 
 On August 25, Major George Haven Putnam gave an ad- 
 dress at the town hall on "England in War Times." Major 
 Putnam witnessed the reception given the American troops in 
 Westminster Abbey, and, as a representative of our govern- 
 ment, took part in the Fourth of July celebration in London. 
 Rev. Robert Falconer also spoke at this meeting and Rev. 
 R. Kidner presided. A collection was taken and sent for the 
 benefit of the British War Relief Funds. 
 
 An impressive discourse was given in the Trinitarian Church 
 on Sunday evening, September 1, by Sir Raymond Blath- 
 wayte who was visiting friends here; he reviewed the terrible 
 losses of the British in the war. The collection taken was sent 
 to the children of the blinded soldiers. 
 
 A meeting of Thanksgiving for the armistice was held in 
 
674 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 the vestry of the First (Unitarian) Church on Sunday evening, 
 November 24, 1918, at which Honorable FrankHn MacVeagh, 
 Secretary of the Treasury under President Taft, was the pre- 
 siding officer, he having prolonged his summer's stay here for 
 that purpose. A musical program was rendered and ad- 
 dresses given by Rev. H. Sumner Mitchell, of Keene, and 
 Rev. Albert Lazenby. 
 
 The Dublin branch of the American Red Cross Society was 
 formed May 1, 1917, almost immediately after this country 
 had entered into the war, with Mrs. Annie E. Childs, President, 
 and Mrs. Ella G. Mason, Secretary and Treasurer. On June 
 12 the organization voted to affiliate with the New Hamp- 
 shire Chapter and this arrangement became effective June 15 
 of that year. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Annie 
 E. Childs, President; Mrs. Idella M. Carey, Vice-President; 
 Mrs. Ella G. Mason, Treasurer; Mrs. Grace B. Scribner, 
 Secretary. 
 
 Meetings for work were held weekly thereafter, and finan- 
 cial aid was contributed from the proceeds of entertainments 
 by the Ladies' Social Circle and the summer residents. The 
 society has met at various times in the vestry of the First 
 (Unitarian) Church, at the residence of Mrs. John A. Gleason, 
 at the "Casino" building, formerly connected with Leffing- 
 well's Hotel, and more recently in the schoolroom of the town 
 house. Thousands of articles for the soldiers have been made 
 and sent to France including dressings, bandages, knitted 
 garments, etc. 
 
 A revival of the knitting industry has resulted from this 
 period of war activity, especially among the younger genera- 
 tion who had hitherto known practically nothing of this useful 
 art, but who now, in many instances, can rival the work of their 
 grandmothers. The society has more than one thousand dol- 
 lars in its treasury and one hundred and sixty-eight members; 
 the officers remain the same as those of last year. 
 
 During the summer of 1917, the work of making Surgical 
 Dressings was continued by the Dublin Branch of the Wom- 
 en's Department, National Civic Federation, of which Mrs. 
 William Brooks Cabot was Chairman, Mrs. Charles MacVeagh, 
 Vice-Chairman, and Miss Elizabeth Jencks, Secretary and 
 Treasurer. Mrs. Charles Frost Aldrich was Chairman of Sur- 
 gical Dressings. The work was carried on in the barn work- 
 room of the Learned cottage. In June of 1917 the Dublin 
 Branch of the Red Cross voted to affiliate with the Civic 
 
DUBLIN IN THE WORLD WAR 675 
 
 Federation and thereafter the societies cooperated in the work 
 of war relief. In 1918, the Surgical Dressings Committee 
 having been absorbed by the Red Cross, Mrs. Charles F. 
 Aldrich was appointed to the charge of the Dublin work and 
 it was carried on at the Dublin Lake Club. Over one hundred 
 and twenty thousand dressings were sent to France through 
 the Surgical Dressings Committee of the Federation during 
 these two years. 
 
 The great demand for doctors and nurses for the army 
 during the last year of the war made it extremely difficult to 
 properly care for all the sick at home, especially during the 
 epidemic of the so-called "Spanish Influenza" which raged 
 throughout this country and the world, during the winter of 
 1918-19. Our own physician. Dr. Childs, temporarily moved 
 to East Jaffrey in the late fall, and in addition to his regular 
 work here, assumed the practice of the two doctors from that 
 town who had gone to the army. 
 
 A government act requiring the registration of all German 
 enemy aliens became effective in 1918. The record of each 
 was officially filed, and finger prints and photographs taken. 
 But two such registrations were locally required; both, women. 
 Seven alien men, who had previously been recorded in Boston, 
 coming to town by permission, were compelled to file with 
 the postmaster; a permit to leave in the fall was again re- 
 quired. Milton D. Mason was local Chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Public Safety. 
 
 Signal lights at night from Monadnock Mountain, Pack 
 Monadnock, and from the higher hilltops in surrounding 
 towns during the summers of 1917-18, arrested the atten- 
 tion of citizens and were reported to authorities. Secret- 
 service men worked on the case a considerable part of the 
 time during the second summer in an effort to connect the 
 lights with the work of submarines in sinking ships off the 
 Atlantic coast, and also with the movement of troops from 
 Camp Devens, the theory being that information was being 
 relayed through these flashes from hill to hill. The fact that 
 von Bernstoff, German Ambassador, had visited Dublin late 
 in the season of 1916, and that plans to use Monadnock 
 Mountain as a wireless base in case of an invasion of this 
 country by Germany, were reported discovered among the 
 seized papers found on Captain Franz von Papen, the German 
 agent, seemed sufficient reasons for alarm. An effort to con- 
 nect the Dean murder in Jaffrey with these lights was at- 
 
676 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 tempted, but up to this time nothing definite has been 
 disclosed. 
 
 The great difficulty experienced in securing accurate rec- 
 ords of soldiers who had fought in previous wars in this coun- 
 try, early led to the appointment of a State Historian in 1917, 
 Professor Richard W. Husband, of Dartmouth College, under 
 authority of an act passed by the State Legislature in March, 
 1917, who in turn appointed an historian from every town in 
 New Hampshire, to obtain exact data of local men in the service 
 immediately upon enlistment, and complete their records to 
 the end; they were then filed in Concord. Henry D. Allison 
 was appointed Historian of Dublin. 
 
 On Sunday afternoon, September 15, 1918, at four o'clock, 
 the Honor Roll of the Dublin "Boys," placed in front of the 
 town hall, was dedicated. Printed invitations, by letter, and 
 public notices were sent. A most beautiful autumnal day 
 with the hazy warmth of early fall made possible the proceed- 
 ings in the open air on the lawn of the First (Unitarian) 
 Church. Nearly the entire population of the town assembled. 
 An American flag over the speaker's table and flags of the 
 Allied Nations in the rear, gave a fit setting to the occasion. 
 
 Charles MacVeagh, Esq., acted as Chairman, in the place 
 of Mr. J. L. IMauran, who had been unexpectedly called away. 
 The bugle call to "assembly" opened the exercises, and 
 prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Lazenby. After the opening 
 remarks by the Chairman, Mr. Basil King delivered an elo- 
 quent and profound address. The bugle then called the au- 
 dience to the opposite side of the street. Henry D. Allison 
 stated that the Honor Roll had been made possible through 
 the kindly suggestion and generous contribution of Mr. 
 Edward A. Grozier, publisher of the Boston Post, who was 
 passing his first season here. The balance of the necessary 
 sum to secure it would be contributed by members of the 
 families and friends of the "Boys." 
 
 The names were then read in the same order as they appear 
 on the Roll, arranged according to the dates of their enlist- 
 ment into the service. The audience then sang a verse of 
 "The Star-Spangled Banner" and as the Chairman unveiled 
 the beautiful Roll, Mrs. Robertson, to the tune of "America," 
 most expressively sang: 
 
 " God save our noble men, 
 Bring them safe home again, 
 God save our men. 
 
DUBLIN IN THE WORLD WAR 677 
 
 Make them victorious. 
 Patient and chivalrous 
 
 They are so dear to us, 
 God save our men." 
 
 The bugle sounded "lights out"; Mr. Lazenby gave the 
 benediction. 
 
 The work was designed by Mr. Gerome Brush, and executed

 Of the above twenty-five men who entered the service, 
 thirteen were students or graduates of colleges, or of the 
 higher educational institutions; eight more attended high or 
 preparatory schools, and four had common-school educations. 
 
 At the last school meeting held March 11, 1919, it was 
 voted "that the School District transfer all its claims in the 
 old Number 1 School-house to the Town of Dublin, for His- 
 torical Purposes." 
 
 There may the Honor Roll be suitably preserved ! 
 
 Many of our enlisted men in the camps regretted that the 
 opportunity to go overseas did not come to them. Had the 
 
DUBLIN IN THE WORLD WAR 681 
 
 war continued a few weeks longer, a considerable number 
 more would have been gratified; but on November 11, 1919, 
 Germany accepted the terms of the armistice; fighting ceased, 
 the most terrible of all wars was over, and Dublin rejoiced with 
 the world. 
 
 At the annual Town Meeting, held on March 11, 1919, it 
 was voted to raise and appropriate three hundred dollars, to 
 arrange a reception for the returning soldiers. A committee 
 of five was chosen to carry out the plan, consisting of Clesson 
 E. Gowing, Robert C. W^oodward, Henry D. Allison, John A. 
 Gleason and Harry F. Mason. It is hoped that the reception 
 can be held early in the summer. 
 
 There are many names of soldiers whose records we would 
 like to include in this History, but it is necessary to confine 
 the list to those whose legal residence at the time of enlist- 
 ment was Dublin, and who have been officially credited to the 
 town by the State Department at Concord. Some of these 
 boys lived just over the line in an adjoining town but at- 
 tended school here, or mingled in the social life of the com- 
 munity. Others lived in Dublin in childhood, or in later life, 
 and moved away. But it seems proper to mention their names; 
 also the Summer Resident boys who have passed many sea- 
 sons in town:

 On June 25, 1918, she was transferred to the Military Serv- 
 ice, American Expeditionary Forces, and later to the French- 
 Service de Sante, which brought her duties close up to the 
 front. After the signing of the armistice she went with the 
 Balkan Unit to northern Albania, where she is now engaged. 
 
684 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 In the absence of railroad accommodations the method of 
 travelling is on horseback with Italian cavalry horses supplied 
 by that government. 
 
 Professor Harvey C. Hayes, of the Physics Department, 
 Swarthmore College, conducted experimental work at the 
 submarine base in New London, Conn., and perfected a listen- 
 ing device for detecting U-boats. 
 
 Captain J. M. Reeves, whose family summered here several 
 seasons, commanded the battleship Maine. 
 
 Captain Henry Copley Greene first went to France in 1916, 
 when he worked for six months for an English committee of 
 the French Wounded Emergency Fund, motoring through 
 Southern and Central France and delivering hospital supplies 
 and making visits to the many local hospitals. After six 
 months in this country he returned in April, 1917, for the 
 same work, but since September, 1917, has been a delegate of 
 the American Red Cross Reconstruction Service in and about 
 Noyon, Compiegne, and Laon. He has been twice decorated, 
 once with the Medaille de la Reconnaissance, a decoration given 
 for service to the French civilians during the war, and with 
 the Croix de Guerre, awarded him especially for his aid in the 
 evacuation of sick and old people under shell fire during the 
 last offensive. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Niles Roberts were active workers in 
 behalf of the Italian War Relief Fund and were instrumental 
 in raising substantial sums of money for that purpose. Pro- 
 ceeds from the sale of his book "Nedda," were contributed to 
 this cause and yielded several thousands of dollars. 
 
 Admiral William S. Sims, Commander of the U. S. Naval 
 Forces in Europe, was a frequent visitor here in past years 
 when Mrs. Sims, daughter of former Secretary of the Interior, 
 Ethan Allen Hitchcock, lived in her father's home "West- 
 mere," on the west shore of the lake. 
 
 Dr. Frank E. Spaulding, born and brought up in the west 
 part of the town on "Spaulding hill," Superintendent of 
 Schools in Cleveland, Ohio, headed the American Commission 
 to France to organize Education for the American Army dur- 
 ing the war, and especially during the period of demobilization. 
 
 Throughout the world the word "camouflage" has become 
 familiar during the war. Although this word is of French 
 origin, the thing itself is primarily an American creation, the 
 work neither of warriors nor army experts, but of a distin- 
 guished artist, a well-known Dublin resident, Abbott H. 
 
DUBLIN IN THE WORLD WAR 685 
 
 Thayer, who has permanently lived here for more than 
 twenty-five years. 
 
 In 1896, an essay by Mr. Thayer on "The Law Which 
 Underlies Protective Coloration," was published in The Auk, 
 and shortly afterwards reprinted in the Year Book of the 
 Smithsonian Institution. In 1909, the Macmillans published 
 " Concealing-coloration in the Animal Kingdom," written by 
 Abbott H. Thayer's son, Gerald H. Thayer, and illustrated by 
 father and son. 
 
 Protective coloration, as set forth in this book, was one of 
 the main starting points of camouflage, and to a considerable 
 extent has guided its development. Assurance of these facts 
 were given Mr. Thayer in England and Scotland in the winter 
 of 1915-16, when he went abroad to tender the Allies more 
 direct help in this matter. 
 
 Professor Herdman, of the University of Liverpool, sug- 
 gested that the naturalists of Great Britain ought to sign a 
 joint statement to the effect that they believed Mr. Thayer's 
 unique knowledge of protective coloration could be made of 
 the greatest use to the War Department. It proved, however, 
 that, owing to the efforts of several other British scientists, 
 notably Professor J. Graham Kerr of Cambridge and the Uni- 
 versity of Glasgow, who had even urged that the government 
 create a special bureau for the adoption of Thayer's discov- 
 eries, "concealing coloration" was already doing war service 
 of various kinds, both on land and sea. 
 
 Camouflage has carried the principles of visual deception to 
 hitherto undreamed-of lengths of application, and to mani- 
 fold and divergent new developments. 
 
 But the latest military camouflage was mainly a matter of 
 masking batteries and guns for airplane detection. Stand- 
 ardized materials, wire netting, colored shreds of burlap, etc., 
 manufactured in vast quantities behind the lines were the 
 main dependence for this roofing-over and screening of guns. 
 The latest marine camouflage, again, sought not concealment 
 of ships, but effects of distortion of outline and perspective 
 which would puzzle the U-boat observers looking through the 
 periscope, as to the vessel's speed, distance, exact form, and 
 especially her course, or direction of movement. 
 
 Professor E. B. Poulton, F. R. S., etc., President of the 
 Linnean Society of London, the distinguished English evolu- 
 tionist, writes as follows: 
 
 "During the sixty years which have elapsed since that his- 
 
686 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 toric day [of the reading before the Linnean Society of Dar- 
 win's and Wallace's joint essay on Natural Selection], Enghsh- 
 speaking workers — among the foremost the American Artist- 
 Naturalist, Abbott H. Thayer, and his son Gerald H. Thayer 
 — have studied this principle [protective coloration], con- 
 tinually extending it by the discovery of fresh applications, 
 and analysing it into a whole group of cooperating principles; 
 but in spite of all these naturalists have done, it required the 
 Great War and a misused French word in order to arrest the 
 attention of their fellow-countrymen. . . . 
 
 "We may, however, forgive the inaccurate use of a new 
 word which the war has brought into our language because of 
 the attention which has now been focussed upon a most in- 
 teresting subject — attention which rightly demands a new 
 and widely accessible edition of this work [Thayers' 'Con- 
 cealing Coloration']. Here are clearly explained and illus- 
 trated the principles underlying the art of 'Camouflage,' 
 practised by Nature from time immemorial but in some of its 
 main lines only made known to Man by the discoveries of 
 Abbott H. Thayer." 
 
GENEALOGIES 
 
 Introduction 
 
 (_JwiNG to the large number of families whose registers 
 have been collected, we have been obliged to make use of 
 many abbreviations, and to abridge some portion of the matter 
 that we should have been glad to insert in full. Many facts 
 and dates have been added to the registers contained in the 
 former history. Many of these have been supplied by the 
 history committee, many by citizens who have kindly aided 
 in the work, others by our own personal researches in the 
 records of various towns, in the library of the New England 
 Historic Genealogical Society of Boston (a collection remark- 
 ably complete), in the State Library at Concord, and in the 
 Vital Records Department in the State House at Concord. 
 In addition, blanks were sent by the committee to numerous 
 families, which were filled and returned by them. These 
 sources of information are not infallible and the editor is not 
 responsible for the errors which they contain. The most that 
 he can promise is to reproduce faithfully the information 
 which he has derived from sources supposed to be accurate. 
 After a long experience in such work, he has learned to be 
 cautious about the information imparted even by family records 
 and personal correspondence. He has sometimes detected de- 
 ception and misrepresentations. It is his intention to print 
 nothing that will injure any person and he believes that the 
 following family registers are as nearly accurate as can ever 
 be the case in works of this kind. 
 
 The editor has discovered that, in the former history of the 
 town, dates of deaths, apparently taken from the church 
 records, are really the dates of funerals. He has endeavored 
 to correct such dates wherever it could be done. The collec- 
 tion of the cemetery inscriptions has aided greatly in doing 
 this. 
 
 It has been found impossible to trace the genealogies in de- 
 tail much beyond the limits of Dublin. Descendants of Dublin 
 persons who were born and have lived in other places cannot 
 
688 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 generally be included in this work unless they lived so near 
 Dublin, or kept up such a close intimacy with the town, that 
 it was thought to be advisable to include them. As a rule, a 
 person who has left Dublin and established family connections 
 in another place is not further considered in these registers.

 JosiAH Allen came to Dublin from Weston, Mass., and 
 settled upon lot 2, range 3, in 1786 or 1787. He m. Sarah Pike, 
 b. in Boston, Mass., about 1756; d. in D., Feb. 3, 1791, ae. 
 nearly thirty-five years. He m., 2d, a dau. of Wm. Robbe of Pe- 
 terborough. He left his farm in 1812, and went to Peterborough, 
 where he d. in the thirties. There were eight ch. by the 2d w., 
 six of whom survived their mother, but their names have not 
 been made known to us. He had two ch. by the former w., 
 who survived their mother, Amos and Charles. He sold his 
 farm to a man from whom it passed to Nehemiah Upton. 
 The following is an extract from a letter to the chairman of the 
 publishing committee of the former history of the town, by his 
 son, Amos Allen, Esq., of Newton, Mass.: 
 
 "My father, the late Lieut. Josiah Allen, was born in 1755, in 
 Weston, Mass. His ancestors were originally from Wales, Eng.; 
 came to this country at a very early period of our national history, 
 and settled upon the farm where my father was born, and which re- 
 mained in possession of the Allen family nearly or quite two hun- 
 dred years. 
 
 "My father served as a soldier in our Revolutionary war four 
 years. His first enlistment was in what was called the year service; 
 the second, in the three years' service. Soon after leaving the army, 
 he, with a Mr. Asa Pierce, also of Weston, purchased the second lot 
 in the third range in Dublin, which they divided equally between 
 them. The northerly half was taken by my father, the southerly 
 
GENEALOGIES 699 
 
 haK by Mr. Pierce. My father and Mr. Pierce had married sisters, 
 and, after clearing off a few acres, and preparing small but comfort- 
 able dwellings, they, with their families, in 1786 or 7, moved to Dublin. 
 Mr. Pierce died a few years after, leaving two children. His widow 
 married Thomas Davison, and removed to Jaffrey. 
 
 "My mother's maiden name was Sarah Pike. She was born in 
 Cross St., Boston. When the British troops occupied the town, her 
 father and his family moved to Charlestown; and, when that town 
 was burnt, they went to Weston, where her father and mother died 
 at an advanced age. My mother died, Feb. 3, 1791, at the age of 35; 
 leaving as survivors myself and my brother Charles, now of North- 
 port, Me. My father married a second wiie, of the family of Lieut. 
 Wm. Robbe of Peterborough. She died a few years before my father. 
 They had eight children, six of whom survived her, and, are now 
 alive, but have all deserted their native town. 
 
 "My father remained in possession of his farm till about 1812. 
 He then sold it to Mr. N. Upton,^ and moved to Peterborough; 
 where he died, about twenty years since [in the thirties], very poor, 
 and solely dependent upon the pension granted by the government 
 for his four years' service in the Revolution. In the early years of 
 his residence in Dublin, matters went well with him, and he was re- 
 spected. He was chosen Lieutenant in the company commanded by 
 Capt. James Adams, the trader. But, in the latter years of my father's 
 residence in Dublin, affairs went badly with him. He was obliged 
 to sell his farm; and he left the town nearly destitute; but he re- 
 tained his principles of integrity, and his kind feelings as a neighbor 
 and a friend." 
 
 ALLISON 
 
 1. Andrew Allison, from Londonderry, N. H., was b. 
 abt. 1754; d. in D., May 26, 1841 (gravestone). The date of 
 his death in the former history, May 28, was the date of his 
 funeral, as given in the church records. The use of church 
 records by town historians has led to hundreds of errors, where 
 funeral dates have been mistaken for death dates. He settled 
 in Dublin, 1783, on land (lots 16 and 17, range 6) purchased 
 by his father Samuel Allison. His house was on lot 16. He

 man fourteen years. For several years he served on the 
 school board and was always much interested in school work 
 and school methods. The prosperity of the Dublin schools,

 He lived on the homestead, lot 11, range 1, and cared for his 
 aged parents until their deaths. Seven of his ch. are known to

 APPLETON 
 
 I. Family of Isaac Appleton 
 
 Samuel Appleton came to this country from England about 
 1636. Samuel Appleton, Jr., 2d son of the preceding, came 
 to this country, with his father, at eleven yrs. of age. Isaac 
 Appleton, 5tli ch. of the preceding, was b. at Ipswich, Mass., 
 about 1664. Isaac Appleton, Jr., 3d ch. of the preceding, 
 was b. at Ipswich, Mass., about 1704. He m. Elizabeth 
 Sawyer. Their ch. were Deacon Isaac and Francis, both of 
 whom res. at New Ipswich, N. H. Dea. Isaac Appleton, 
 3d, b.. May 31, 1731; m., April 24, 1760, Mary Adams, dau. 
 of Joseph Adams of Concord, Mass. Their ch. were: 1. Isaac, 
 q. v.; 2. Joseph; 3. Samuel; 4. Aaron, q. v. Samuel Appleton, 
 the third ch., was b., June 22, 1766; d. in 1853. As stated in 
 Mr. Mason's address, he taught school in Dublin, and was the 
 donor of the Dublin Appleton Fuiid. A few weeks previous 
 to his death, he was heard to say that, before he began the 
 business of a merchant, he worked chopping down trees on 
 one of the lots of land which his father had purchased in Dublin, 
 and that he then thought of settling upon it; but, as it was in 
 the month of June, and the weather very hot, he was not satis- 
 fied with that kind of labor, and concluded to procure a living 
 in some other way. Accordingly, he left the woods, and en- 
 gaged in trade. The result is well known. The town of Dublin 
 will have reason to remember him with gratitude. Besides 
 the thousand dollars which he gave for educational purposes, 
 he added two hundred dollars more to aid in the publication 
 of the Centennial Address, and the accompanying history of 
 the town. For a brief .sketch of his life, see the New England 
 Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. viii. No. 1.

 enterprising and successful merchant in Dublin, at the old

 While in trade here, he became the owner of three farms, 
 namely, that on lot 11, range 1; that on lot 11, range 4; and 
 that on lot 11, range 8. There is no house now on either farm. 
 Of these farms he retained possession till nearly the close of 
 his life; renting those in ranges 1 and 8; using the other as a 
 pasture for cattle. He finally moved to Keene, and purchased 
 the window-glass manufactory in that place, and put it into 
 successful operation. In company with John Eliot, a native 
 of Dublin, he was engaged also in the usual business of a 
 merchant, having an extensive trade. He m., 1st, Eunice

 of the priests. Mr. Appleton had no ch. by either wife.

 1. David Eliot, b. in Bradford, Mass., 1751; son of John

 Jan. 4, 1793. He m. 1st, 1778, Hannah Adams of New Ips-

 and Priscilla Adams. He m. 2d, Nov. 19, 1789, Mrs. Lucy 
 (Emery) Campbell, b. in Townsend, Mass., April 28, 1756; 
 d. in D,, Jan. 23, 1846. David Eliot the head of this family 
 has been described to us as a man of marked character and 
 worthy of some words of notice in the annals of the town of 
 his adoption. In the spring of 1775, soon after the commence- 
 ment of hostilities at Lexington and Concord, Captain Towne 
 was engaged in raising a company of volunteers in New Ipswich 
 to join the confused army of avengers then rolling in from every 
 quarter towards Boston. Among the few who came from 
 neighboring towns to join this patriotic band were the brothers, 
 David and John Eliot, from Mason. The company was soon 
 formed {Q5 in number), marched to Cambridge, was attached to 
 Colonel Reid's regiment, and there assigned the post of honor, 
 the right wing. At the battle of Bunker Hill, they were early 
 on the ground and in the hottest of the fight, though each man 
 
GENEALOGIES 745 
 
 had but a gill of powder and fifteen balls dealt out to him in 
 the morning. David Eliot, like most of his company, had 
 only his fowling-piece for arms, which, after a few rapid dis- 
 charges, became hot and dangerous. Just then he discovered 
 a good musket on the ground, the owner having been killed or 
 carried away. He seized the prize, expended the remainder of 
 his ammunition with it, brought it off the field, and kept it to 
 the day of his death. Captain Towne's Company remained in 
 service till the evacuation of Boston by the British, in the 
 following spring, and was then discharged. Among the strong- 
 headed men of D. in the olden time Mr. Eliot held a very 
 respectable rank and exercised an increasing influence. He 
 was much consulted in private matters, employed ' in the 
 public affairs of the town, and held a commission in the militia. 
 He was a member of the Baptist Church. Ch. :

 with Capt. Benjamin Cooke. In 1809 he m. Deborah Bixby, 
 dau. of Nathan Bixby, and re. to Keene. For many years, a 
 part of the time in connection with Aaron Appelton, and again 
 with his sons, he carried on an extensive and prosperous busi- 
 ness in general merchandise; interested also in the manufacture 
 of window-glass. He continued m business to a great age. In 
 addition to these more active duties he was President of the 
 Cheshire Bank and director in several corporate companies.

 he commenced classical studies; entering the Sophomore Class 
 at Dartmouth College from which he was graduated, 1813. 
 
746 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 He studied medicine one year with Professor Perkins of 
 Dartmouth College, and one year with Dr. Amos Twitchell of 
 Keene. In the fall of 1815, he went to the city of New York 
 and, in the following year, engaged in a glass-manufacturing 
 and trading enterprise, in conducting which, through a very 
 extensive sliding-scale of profit and loss, he spent ten years 
 in Ulster County. In 1827, he removed to the city of New 
 York and formed a connection with his brother-in-law, 
 Augustus Greele, in the commission business, chiefly devoted 
 to paper and collateral objects. After the retirement of Mr. 
 Greele, the firm, for several years, was Eliot, Burnat, & 
 Babcock. In 1843, he purchased a farm on the Hudson River, 
 near Newburgh; built a house and, in the following year, took 
 possession and retired from active business. Ch., b. at Wood-

 EMES 
 I. Ebenezer Emes 
 
 Ebenezer Emes and Elizabeth his w. came to D., July 18, 
 1779, and settled on lot 9, range 2. Samuel Emes, who lived 
 on this lot before Ebenezer came, may have been the father 
 both of Ebenezer and Alexander Emes. There is a tradition 
 that Samuel Emes used to come to D. on foot and spend a 
 part of the season on his farm, returning in the autumn with 
 a heavy load on his back. It is said that, when he became 
 tired from the weight of his burden, he was wont to take up 
 quite a large stone in both hands and that, carrying this stone 
 awhile, he felt himself rested when he dropped it. The name 
 of Ebenezer Emes appears in the tax-list, for the last time in 
 1798. This name is often spelled Eames. Ch.: 1. Eunice,

752 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 SherborD one summer season. At the age of sixteen, he en- 
 listed again, and joined the army in Rhode Island. He was 
 there employed a portion of the time as a ferryman from Tiver- 
 ton to Greenwich, transporting soldiers, horses, provisions, 
 ammunition, etc. On one occasion, when returning with an 
 empty boat, a sturgeon of large size, being at play, jumped 
 out of the water into the boat, broke down the middle seat, 
 and proved a troublesome passenger. He sold it, on reaching 
 the shore, for a gallon of rum. At another time, he was ordered 
 to take a load of soldiers across the river by night, in company 
 with six other boats. During the passage, a severe tempest 
 arose. It was stormy and dark. They lost their pilot and lights 
 and, in this condition, they were tossed about by the waves, 
 not knowing where they were, or whither they were going. 
 In the course of the night they were drifted on an island and 
 found another boatload in the same condition. Only one 
 boat of the seven found its way, that night, across the river. 
 When morning came, they found they were near the enemy. 
 As boats crossed and recrossed the river, they made signals of 
 distress, but they were not relieved till they had passed two 
 days and two nights without food or the means of making a 
 fire to dry themselves. They were supposed by their officers to 
 be lost. At another time, when sleeping on the ground, a cry 
 was heard, "A cannon-ball is rolling towards us!" He in- 
 stantly sprang up on his hands and knees; the ball struck 
 his cartridge-box, on which his head, a few seconds before, was 
 resting, and dashed it to pieces; it then struck a stone wall, 
 opened a gap and, rolling a few rods farther, stopped. In the 
 year 1780, he enlisted again for six months and served a por- 
 tion of the time at West Point. He was there when Arnold 
 attempted to give it into the hands of the British. Ch.:

 "Dr." William Robbe of Peterborough. Rev. Elijah Dunbar, 
 in his "Description of Peterborough," published in the N. H. 
 Historical Collections, August, 1822, says: "Lieut. William 
 Robbe, seventh son of William and Agnes (Patterson) Robbe, 
 was fully believed by his mother to be endued with the power 
 of curing the king's evil (scrofula). In her youth, she had 
 supposed herself cured of this disease by a man, reputed to be 
 the seventh son, who traversed Ireland, it was said, at his 
 majesty's expense, and performed, it was believed, the most 
 marvellous cures, by gently rubbing the diseased person in 
 the throat with his naked hand and, instead of taking a reward, 
 bestowing a piece of silver. Mrs. Robbe charged her son to 
 attend gratuitously to all who should apply for relief, and to 
 give each a piece of silver; and he never refused his assistance 
 to any who applied. Applications were numerous and fre- 
 quent, and after he was unable to lift his hands, they were guided 
 by others to impart the healing influence. It would require a 
 volume," according to Mr. Dunbar, "to record the extraordi- 
 nary cures which have been ascribed to his instrumentality." 
 Mrs. Farnsworth was born, March 1, 1772, d., Oct. 27, 1812.

 1. Richard Gilchrest, b. in Lunenburg, Mass., Feb. 22, 
 1753; d. in D., June 19, 1833. His father, William Gilchrest, 
 was b. in Glasgow, Scotland, 1711; went to Ireland, lived in 
 the family of Robert Smith, and emigrated with him to the 
 United States in 1736. William's wife was Elizabeth White, 
 b. in the County of Londonderry, Ireland, who came to this 
 country when she was four years old. William and Elizabeth 
 had seven sons and four daughters. Richard was the third son 
 and, from 14 till 18 years of age, lived with William Smith. 
 He then lived two years with a Mr. Bellows, whose house, 
 during that time, was broken open and robbed of some prop- 
 erty. The robber, whose name was Linsey or Lindsey, con- 
 cealed himself in the chamber of a house in Fitchburg and, 
 being armed with a loaded musket, threatened death to any- 
 one who should approach him. Gilchrest ascended a ladder, 
 entered the chamber, disarmed and secured the robber, who 
 was hung. Gilchrest worked a short time in Littleton, Mass., 
 driving a team, for which he was celebrated. He then went 
 to Swanzey, N. H., and lived with an uncle. He responded to 
 the call to arms, Apr. 20, 1775, described on page 176. In the 
 
770 HISTORY OF DUBLIN 
 
 winter of 1775-76, he returned to D., and was m. to Mary 
 Swan of Peterborough, dau. of John Swan. She was b., Aug. 
 14, 1758, and d., Jan. 16, 1816. He purchased lot 5, range 3, 
 erected buildings on the same, and there spent the remainder 
 of his life. He served as constable and collector of taxes for 
 many years; was distinguished as a successful catcher of rogues 
 and for making them confess their crimes. When his neigh- 
 bors were in trouble he was ever on hand to afford aid. He was 
 never weary of watching at the bedside of the sick. Though 
 he was rough in manner and speech, yet he was kind of heart. 
 His second wife was Margaret Moore of Peterborough. His 
 third wife was Eleanor Gray, also of Peterborough, who died, 
 Jan. 10, 1833. Ch.:

 the summer colonists in D., he is also a legal resident of the 
 town and his family record finds its place in these pages. He 
 has added to the land purchased by his father until he now 
 owns five of the old historic farms of D., two of which are now 
 in Harrisville. Happily the old farm mansions are still stand-

 son farm, the Farnum or Howe farm, the Thomas Fisk farm, 
 the Thaddeus Mason, Jr. (and Thaddeus P. Mason) farm, 
 and the Jonathan K. Smith farm. The large two-story house 
 on the last-named farm, in which Mr. Smith lived, was taken 
 down by a later occupant of the farm, and replaced by a small 
 house, which was burned within a few years. Mr. Leighton 
 conducts an extensive farming industry, including dairy 
 farming, poultry farming, and other forms of agriculture, in- 
 cluding the manufacture of maple sugar in the spring. He

 "He purchased, 1790, the farm of Asa Pierce (no relation), 
 with the exception of the widow's third, and a part of the 
 Hogg or Shepherd farm. He was an officer in the army of the 
 Revolution during the war. The late Gov. Benjamin Pierce 
 is said to have been his cousin, and to have been, for a time, 
 his waiter in the army. Capt. P. was wounded in the left arm, 
 in consideration of which, a pension was granted to him. His 
 arm was rendered stiff by the wound. He was a stout, thick-set 
 man, with a Roman nose, and commanding personal presence. 
 After the war he moved to Peterborough, went into trade at 
 Hunt's Corner, soon failed by some bad management of a 
 partner, and was left laden with debts. He and his wife now 
 laid aside all show of gentility, to which they had before made 
 some claim; moved into a log-house on the hill east of the 
 house of the Hayes family; went to work, — he as a layer of 
 stone-wall for fence, she as a weaver. They soon moved into 
 better quarters, but still humble, near the house which he 
 afterwards built, in which Moses Fairbanks now lives. They

 comfort. But he did not live long to enjoy his improved con-

 the needs of his children when they asked for bread. But the 
 neighborly kindness of pioneer days soon relieved their distress.

 1. Samuel Twitchell, Esq., eldest son of Joseph, Esq.,* and 
 Deborah (Fairbanks) Twitchell of Sherborn, Mass., was b. 
 
 * Joseph Twitchell, the forefather of the family, was admitted to the freeman's oath 
 May 14, 1634. He resided at Dorchester, Mass., in 1653, and probably was the father 
 of Joseph, who settled at Sherborn, Mass., immediately after King PhiHp's War, where 
 he died, Oct. 24, 1710. Joseph, Jr., was a man of irreproachable character, and tradi- 
 tion represents him as a Cyclops in stature, and a Hercules in strength. He had four 
 daughters, and a son, Joseph, who married Elizabeth Holbrook. A son of this union, 
 Joseph, Esq., was born Feb. 13, 1718/19, and died Mar. 12, 1792. He married 1st, 
 June 28, 1739, Deborah Fairbanks, dau. of Joseph Fairbanks of Sherborn, and with 
 her was received into the church July 27, 1740. He m. 2d, Jan. 5, 1786, Widow Deborah 
 (Sanger) Fasset. He settled on the east side of Dirty Meadow, on the south side of a 
 steep rocky hill, and became the leading citizen of Sherborn for a series of years. He 
 served as Captain of the militia, representative to the General Court, justice of the 
 peace, and town clerk and treasurer for fourteen years. For convenient reference

 Dr. Twitchell is said to have been fond of books when he was 
 only six years of age. As he grew older his love of reading in- 
 creased; and he read, with deep interest, history, voyages, and 
 travels. Books were scarce in his youthful days, but he read 
 thoroughly such as he could obtain. In consequence of his 
 love of reading and his studious habits, he was sent to New 
 Ipswich Academy, of wdiich Rev. Samuel Worcester was pre- 
 ceptor at that time, and where he remained seven or eight 
 months. He was afterwards instructed by Rev. Mr. Palmer of 
 Townsend. He entered Dartmouth College in 1798 at the age

 of seventeen, and graduated in 1802, when he delivered an 
 oration in Greek. During the winters of his collegiate course 
 he taught district schools. He studied medicine under Dr. 
 Nathan Smith, professor at the Medical School in Hanover, 
 N. H., and began practicing, 1807, at Marlborough, N. H. In 
 1810 he removed to Keene. He was offered, 1819, a professor- 
 ship at Dartmouth; in 1824, at the Vermont Academy of Medi- 
 cine; in 1826, at Castleton; and in 1826, at Bowdoin College, 
 each of which offers he declined. He was an earnest temperance 
 advocate, and was strongly opposed to the use of tobacco in 
 any form. From its incorporation, in 1833, to the close of his 
 life, Dr. Twitchell was president of the Cheshire Provident 
 Institution for Savings. 
 
 Of Mrs. Twitchell it has been written that she was a model 
 physician's wife in the care and many kindnesses with which 
 she ministered to those who called to consult her husband.

 (Fairbanks) Twitchell, was b. at Sherborn, Mass., Jan. 22,

 Mr. Twitchell settled in D. first, on the "Yeardly Place," 
 then on the "Scripture Place," in Nelson; and from there re. 
 to Bethel, Me., about 1780. After his removal to Bethel he 
 was taken captive by the Indians. He chanced, one afternoon, 
 to be at the home of one of his neighbors — a Captain Clark. A 
 number of Indians came suddenly to the house, entered it, 
 and took Clark and Twitchell captive. Binding their hands 
 behind them they set one of their number as a guard while the 
 rest went into the cellar to enjoy the barrel of rum. After 
 drinking freely they called to the guard to take his turn. Mr. 
 Twitchell, anticipating what might happen, had prepared 
 himself for escape, and the moment the guard left him, he 
 sprang out of the house, ran a short distance, jumped over a 
 brush-fence, and curled down. A moment later he heard them 
 give the alarm of his escape. Mistaking the noise of cattle 
 in the brush for their captive, they searched the woods for him, 
 thus giving him an opportunity to run into an adjacent corn- 
 field and there secrete himself for the night. In the morning 
 he found Mrs. Clark but a few rods from him. She had fled 
 there for safety on the first approach of the Indians, and neither 
 of them was aware of the other's presence during their hours 
 of suspense. Captain Clark was carried ofi^ to Canada. Jonas 
 Clark of Dublin, while in Canada, became acquainted with 
 the Indian who took the captain, and received from him an 
 account of the adventure, Ch, :

EMIGRANTS 
 
 1 HE following is a list of the male emigrants, of twenty-one 
 years of age and upwards, who left Dublin prior to Jan. 1, 
 1853. Their names are arranged under the different letters of 
 the alphabet, in the order in which they are supposed to have 
 emigrated, except in the case of families. Members of the 
 same family are generally grouped together according to their 
 ages; the father or eldest brother being placed first, though 
 younger members may have emigrated years before he did. 
 When a star (*) is placed after a name, it is intended to show 
 that the emigrant had a family, who went with him. The 
 Arabic figures placed before names are intended to designate 
 to what generation of the family who have resided in Dublin 
 the several members that have emigrated belong. When the 
 generation of an individual is not thus designated, it is be- 
 lieved that his ancestors never resided here. In preparing this 
 list, the same difficulties have had to be encountered that 
 have been experienced in the preparation of some other por- 
 tions of this work, — contradictory statements, which can- 
 not be reconciled, and the want of reliable sources of informa- 
 tion. Perfect accuracy has not been attainable. Many errors, 
 doubtless, exist, especially in the order of the arrangement.
