The history of the town of Peterborough begins with the granting of the township to Samuel Heywood and fifty- nine others, by act of the General Court of Massachusetts, Dec. 8, 1737, and which became a law when Gov. Belcher affixed his signature, Jan. 16, 1738, As early as 1721 a few of these petitioners had received the grant of a township, and several other attempts had been made by them but the first attempt was thwarted bj"" the Indian wars, and later attempts lacked legislation. By the Act of 1737 a grant of a township six miles square was made in the northern part of Massachusetts (as was supposed) in any locality, providing only that it should not encroach upon any former grant. The location seems to have been selected by Joseph Wilder, surveyor, and Jo- seph Richardson and Zacheus Lovell, chain men, who were sent by the grantees to choose a suitable location, and lay out the township. To what is due the selection of the Con- toocook valley and its surrounding hills as the proper place to launch this new enterprise we are unable to say, but it is 6 mSTOEICAL. probable that the natural advantages of the streams at the junction of the Contoocook and Nubunusit rivers for power and the hills for settling, together with the large tracts of fertile, level valley lands, which they could here include, without admitting any of the surrounding mountains and waste lands, appealed to them as a most suitable and prom- ising locality. At any rate the survey which they made and whose bounds were laid out exactly with the points of the compass, was so chosen as to contain most of the valuable land in this immediate section. Its north and south bounds were six miles and 68 rods long, those on the east and west were six miles and 60 rods; all in excess of six miles square being allowed "for sway of chain, and fifty acres for a pond," being Cunningham Pond. This survey was accepted and the land confirmed to the 60 petitioners and grantees by the Massachusetts General Court. Jonathan Prescott, as empowered by the General Court, issued his mandate for a meeting of the proprietors on the 25th of July, 1738, at the tavern of Luke Verdy, in Boston. Many rights had presumably been sold— as we find many new names among the officers chosen — at this meeting. John Hill was chosen moderator, and Peter Prescott, pro- prietor's clerk, both of which names were not included in the list of grantees. John Hill was chosen treasurer at an adjourned meeting when also a committee of five was ap- pointed to "view" the township, and to lay out lots as re- quired by the grant. It is evident from the whole proceedings of the propri- HISTOEICAL. 7 etary that the four associates, John Hill, John Fovvle, Jr., Jeremiah Gridley, and Peter Prescott, had the management entirely in their own hands. It is not known how many of the proprietors still retained their rights; but on the 29th of November, when the drawing of the lots took place, these four men had become proprietors of all but two lots in the township, and after that date the two original proprietors, Hubbard and Jonathan Prescott, disappear from the rec- ord, and the other four act as sole proprietors of the town- ship. We can only briefly allude to the proceedings of the pro- prietors up to 1756. The proprietors usually met at a tavern, in Boston, but sometimes at Mr. Foster's, in Wo- burn, and only once at Peterborough, Sept. 26-7, 1753; where, tor the first time on their records, the name of the town, Peterborough, is recorded as the place of meeting. They ordered the town to be surveyed by Joseph Wilder, who laid out the sixty-three home lots (each home lot con- taining 50 acres, being united with a proprietor's lot of 50 acres). He laid out the rest of the town in lots not exceed- ing 200 acres, nor less than 100 acres each. They cut and cleared a road five rods wide from New Ipswich to the meet- ing house (the present State road is part of the same); pre- sented a lot of 50 acres to the school; two lots of 50 acres each to the first and the second minister, reserving ten acres for the meeting house, burying ground, and training field; they presented 50 acres to John Ritchie, the first child born in the town; sent a gun to Rev. Mr. Harvey; in 1750, sent ten pounds of powder and twenty pounds of lead; and in 8 HISTOEICAL. 1754, at the beginning of the French and Indian War, sent half a barrel of powder, 100 pounds of lead, and 200 flints to the settlers. The first survey of lots by Wilder must have been made in the summer and autunn of 1738, as the plat was ready, and the division made among the proprietors, on the 29th of November. It is well known that the first attempt at settlement was made in 1739. The plat in the records, though undoubtedly made to be presented to the Masonian proprietors, is especially useful as showing the position of farms occupied by all the original settlers. In addition to the lands divided according to the Wilder survey, each pro- prietor received a farm containing 500 acres of land not surveyed in the previous surveys. Farm A, the most valua- ble of them all, situated just above and taking in the upper portion of the village, and 80 acres south and east of the River Nubunusit, was assigned to Gridley; Farm B to Hill; C to Prescott; D to Fowle; these last named farms lying on the Contoocook Eiver, extending from the Hancock line nearly to the North Factory. In the mean time, before any settlements were perma- nently made, the proprietors had discovered that the to\^n- ship was not under the jurit^diction of Massachusetts, but that the assigns of John T. Mason claimed the territory under the Masonian grant of a large portion of southern New Hampshire. No records of diplomacy concerning the adjustment of the various claims have come down to us, we only know that, under date of Jan. 26, 1748, the Mason- ian proprietors gave a quit claim deed to Hill, Gridley, HISTORICAL. 9 Fowle, and the heirs of John Vassal (the latter having pre- sumably purchased the interest of Mr. Prescott) , reserving to themselves only 3400 acres of land, which was not to be taxed until improved, reserving also all the trees "fit for masting his Majesty's navy." This is the only legal docu- ment by which the proprietors ever held the town. All transactions with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts be- came annulled, until confirmed by the Masonian Proprie- tors. Under the New Grant the failure of an 3^ proprietor to meet his share of the expenses wrought a total forfeiture of his rights to the other proprietors. Under this provision the heirs of John Vassall forfeited their interest in the grant. The conditions of the grant required that the "grantees shall settle forty families on said tract of land within four years, and each family shall have fifteen acres of land cleared and ready for tillage, — have a meetinghouse built there, and preaching in the same constantly sup- ported." The time of the Indian War was not to count as a part of the four years. Up to 1748 there was no permanent settlement in town, and little to remind one of the home life that sprung up here so quickly lollowing 1749. We have no further demon- stration of any acts of the Masonian proprietors, who owned all the lands adjoining this town, except that, under their direction and instruction, for the purpose of improv- ing the townships of Jaffrey and Dublin, Colonel Blanchard run the west line of the town one entire range and half of another, further east than the original line, and added the same amount (three-fourths of a mile wide) on the east 10 HISTORICAL. line, including most of the East Mountains which the first survey had so adroitly avoided. We know not whether it was in a spirit of injury that the 3400 acres reserved for the Masonian proprietors were assigned to them in this very section where the land was practically worthless. This controversy probably bred a good deal of ill-feeling, for it continued to linger along for twenty years, till May 22, 1767, when John Hill, the clerk, sent them a plat of the town with the Mason lots laid out and the alterations made in its position by the Blanchard survey, marked upon it. Thus the subject was finally disposed of, and this act seems to have been the final duty of the proprietary, as this is the last transaction recorded in the proprietors' books. EARLY SETTLEMENT Although this town seems to be somewhat unfortunate in the character and disposition of its early proprietors, who seemed to be striving to advance their own interests as land speculators with little thought to the interests of their new landlords, it was unusually fortunate in the character and endurance of its early settlers, the progenitors of the present inhabitants who have not failed to inherit those straightfor- ward, decisive, though gentle traits, so characteristic of the Scotch-Irish peasantry. The time of the first settlement was HISTORICAL. 11 supposed to be determined by an expression in a petition for an Act of Incorporation Oct. 31, 1759, signed by Thomas Morrison, Jonathan Morrison, and Thomas Cunningham. It begins as follows: "That about the year of our Lord 1739 a number of Per- sons, in consequence of a Grant of a tract of land, had and obtained from the Great and General Court or Assembly of the Provinceof the Massachusetts Bay, by Samuel Haywood and others his associates, granting to them the said tract of land on certain conditions of settlement. And in pursu- ance whereof a number of People immediately went on to said tract of land and began a settlement (tho then very far from any other inhabitants) which we have continued increasing ever since the year 1739 except sometimes when we left said Towship for fear of being destroyed by the enemy, who several times drove us from our Settlement soon after we began." Who were the first men to attempt to plant their homes in this locality we are unable to say definitely, but the date was doubtless 1738, or 1739. Good authority gives the names of Wm. Robie, Alexander Scott, Hugh Gregg, Wm. Gregg, Samuel Stinson, Wra. Scott, Wm. Wallace and Wm Mitchell as being of the men who came at this time, but of their doings here we know little. It is probable that they were soon driven off by the threatened hostilities of the Indians. In 1742 a party of five came from Lunenburg, Mass., and cleared a small patch of land near the old meet- ing house. Another attempt was made some time before 1744, by Wm. McNee, John Taggart, and William Ritchie, 12 HISTORICAL. which was confined to Ritchie Hill. They probably remained only one season. It is also stated that Capt. Thomas Mor- rison and one Mr. Russell came here about this time, build- in"^ a camp in a sheltered spot near the great boulder in the valley of the "Great River" (Contoocook river) and proceed- ed to clear land for home lots. They had no sooner begun, however, than their hospitality to a family of Indians in the valley was returned by robbing the men of all their provis- ions and they were obliged to retrace their steps to Towns- end, Mass., twenty miles, to obtain their dinner. From 1744 to 1748, it is thought there was no settler left in this vicinity. This was largely on account of the French war, then raging, and particularly on account of the unsettled ownership of this portion of the State. Concerning the Indian difficulties it must bo said they were mostly fears for it is not known that any attempt was ever made by the hostile bands to pillage or destroy this set- tlement which, at this time, was one of the frontier settle- ments. It is impossible to say what might have occurred, however, had not the settlement been deserted during these years of fearful hostilities. Near the time of the close of the war, the long contested question of ownership was practically settled, throwing this town into the lands of the Masonian Proprietors, and enabling pioneers to obtain clear titles to the lands in the township. The same proprietors remained in possession in Peterborough, and we find that in 1749, when the minds of the sturdy men of New England were turned toward the uncultivated lands, this tract offered unusual HISTORICAL. 13 inducements. Those already possessing lands, many of whom had made improvements upon the same, were doubtless among the first to arrive in 1749, Others soon followed, coming with their families, trusting in numbers, under Providence, to effect their safety. Though another French war occurred in 1754 it did not seem to check the emigration, and we find that at the end of ten years, when incorporation as a town was sought, the settlement numbered forty -five to fifty fam- ilies, some 300 souls, A sketch of each of the pioneers is given in Dr. Smith's History of Peterborough, 1876, (to which we are indebted for most of the facts concerning the early town). We will pass over them here lightly, William Ritchie located where it is supposed he made his earlier clearing on Ritchie Hill. Here was born his son, John, Feb. 11, 1750, the first white child born in town. Deacon Wm, McNee (name afterwards changed to Nay) moved his family here May 1, 1752. John Taggart came to town with his family about the same time; Gustavus Swan, William Stuart and Wm. Smith all came about 1750; Alexander Scott, who was one of the first five to attempt a settlement here in 1739, came in 1750 and set- tled on the west side of the street road; John Morison, the progenitor of the Peterborough Morisons, came to town in 1749 or 1750. Jonathan Morison, hie son, built the first grist mill in town, on the site of the "Peterborough First Factory," in 1751. Capt. Thomas Morison came from Lun- enburg, in 1749, and brought his family the following year. He occupied the "Mill farm" at the South village. 14 HISTOEICAL. Others, many of whom were as early on the scene, and the part taken by them none less important, we must pass over with only the mention of their names; these were Joseph Caldwell, Samuel Miller, Thos. Cunningham, James Robbe, John White, John Smith, Dea. Thos. Davison, Thos. Turner, Dea. Samuel Mitchell, Wm. Scott, Wm. Mitchell, Rev. Mr. Harvey, Samuel Stinson, Wm. Robbe, Samuel Todd, Dea. Samuel Moore, John Ferguson, David Bogle, James McKean, Jotham Blanchard, Maj. Samuel Gregg, Lieut. John Gregg, Hugh Wilson, Wm. McCoy, Geo. McClourge, Thos. McCloud, Capt. David Steele, Samuel Miller, Joseph Hammill, Maj. Robert Wilson, Dr. John Young, Samuel Brackett, Thos. Little, Abraham Holmes, Abel Parker, Elijah Puffer, and others. INCORPORATION Ten years after the time of the beginning of the perma- nent settlement of Peterborough a petition was sent to the Governor and Council of New Hampshire for incorporation of the township. The petition was granted, incorporating the town for two years Jan. 17, 1760, and re-chartered in 1762. By the terms of the charter Mr. Hugh Wilson was "ap- pointed" to issue the first warrant for a town meeting; this he did in characteristic style, calling the inhabitants to HISTORICAL. 15 assemble m the meeting-house Monday, the 17th of March, 1760. The first action was reading the charter, after which John Ferguson was chosen town clerk, and Hugh Wilson, Thomas Morison, Jonathan Morisou, Gentn. Joseph Cald- well, and John Swan, Jr., were chosen to comprise the first board of selectmen. The name, Peterborough, which is first used on the pro- prietor's records in 1753, was perhaps given to the township somewhat earlier. The tow^nship, in one connection, is men- tioned as "East Monadnick," but was generally designated on the records as " The Township." Concerning the deriva- tion of the name it seems to have been accepted as a fact that it was chosen in honor of the somewhat disreputable Earl of Peterborough, who achieved many brilliant and heroic deeds during the war of the Spanish succession, although the town history states (page 51) that nothing is known how it received its name except that the author had heard his father state that it was named after the Earl ; the suggestion however made on page 261 appears to be the more probable, that the town took its name from Peter Prescott, one of the original proprietors, who was assigned 500 acres in Farm C. Before the town received an}^ name it was known by some as Peter Prescott's Burrow and the names given in some of the old state papers are Peter's Bur- row and Petersburrow. The name appears at an earlier date than 1753 in the State papers, where on page 8 of vol. 9, it is mentioned in the petition for protection against the Indians under date of May 13, 1747, where it is spelled Petersborough. 16 HISTOEICAL.

Steele, has filled that oflSce since the year 1871, without intermission. SELECTMEN, SINCE 1875, 1875 — John Cragin, J. L. Adams, Augustus Fuller. 1876— A Fuller, Chas. H. Brooks, Wm.

CHURCH AFFAIRS The early church we can take up but briefly. The first house for pul)lic worship was erected in 1752, under the pro- prietary management. In 1774, the town voted to erect a new house, but this was not raised until three years later, and remained in an unfinished condition for many years. In 1795, the question of removing the meeting house from its position on the east hill near the old grave 3'ard became a vital one and was agitated for many years, but it was never done. The old house continued to be used for some years 18 HISTORICAL. only during the summer months, the services being held in sehoolhouses during the winter until 1825, when the church became divided and the old- building finally abandoned. A new Presbyterian church was built that year, at Gordon's Corner, and the present Unitarian church was erected near the bridge. Rev. Mr. Johnson, a Presbyterian, who came here with the settlers, Rev. Mr. Harvey, and Rev. Mr, Powers, were among the earliest preachers in Peterborough, but Rev. John Morrison was the first settled minister, being ordained Nov. 26, 1766. This was an unfortunate event for the town as the character of Mr. Morrison seems not to have been such as to do honor to the exalted position he aspired to fill. He was removed from the charge of the church as a result of a petition sent to the Provincial Legislature, in 1771, by the leading men of the town. Rev. David Annan was the next settled minister, coming to the church in 1778. He remained fourteen years, but he, too, was unsatisfying to this earnest people who desired to hear knowledge and truth from the lips of the man whom they hired to study the Bible and the best literature, and to give them the instruction which the circumstances of life did not afford them time and means to get for themselves. Rev. Elijah Dunbar was the third settled minister in Peterborough. He came June 5, 1799, when he settled as a Congregationalist. His long, and generally successful min- istry extended over a period of 27 years. Beginning in 1804, one day in each year w^as set apart for the Presbyterian members who desired to administer the Lord's Supper HISTOEICAL. 19 according to their form; this was continued in this church until 1822, when a church of this faith wasformed. In 1826, the "Congreojational Society in Peterborough" was formed for the purpose of supporting public worship, and the year following. Rev, Mr. Dunbar was succeeded by Rev, Abiel Abbott, D. D. Rev. Mr. Dunbar was the last minister of the town. Rev. Mr, Abbott continued to supply the pulpit until 1839, when his health failed, and Rev. Curtis Cutler was set- tled as a colleague, Jan. 29, 1840. In 1848, Rev, Liberty Billings succeeded these men, but resigned after a ministry of two years. Rev, Chas, Robinson was installed pastor, in 1851, remaining as such until 1859, The next year, Rev, Chas, B, Ferry became pastor, remaining until 1869. Isaac F. Potter became pastor in 1870, remaining but two years. Abraham W. Jackson came in 1873 and served about 10 years; W, H, Walbridge succeeded for 13 years; Geo. E. Lit- tlefield, 2 years; W. P, Elkins, 2 years; and W. H, Brani- gan, who has filled this pulpit since 1900, The old edifice was extensively remodeled in 1895, but enough of the origi- nal features remain to remind us of the Faith of the fathers who set aside ever^' worldly care and ambition that they might, on the Sabbath day, worship God in a true and devoted manner, UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH In 1822, a portion of the people, who had never been pleased with the Congregational form of worship, formed a Presbyterian society, and in 1825, built the house of wor- 20 mSTOEICAL. ship of brick, at Gordon's Corner; which house was occupied until 1839, when it was taken down, and its material used toward a new house, erected on Concord street, the same house now used by the Union Congregational society. The Presbyterian society was presided over by Kevs. Peter Holt, Nathaniel Pine, James R. French, and Henry J. Lamb, as settled pastors. In 1853, several members of the Presbyterian society were dismissed on account of dissatisfaction, and together with others, were organized into a Congregational church. April 21, 1858, these tw^o churches each dissolved their respective organizations and united in forming the Union Evangelical Church, which name was changed to its present name in 1894. The first settled pastor of this society was Rev. George Dustan, who was installed Oct. 19, 1859. After a very suc- cessful ministry of more than a quarter of a century, during which time 277 persons were received into church member- ship, he resigned, and was dismissed Dec. 3, 1885. Rev. Austin H. Burr was the succeeding pastor, remaining four years. Rev. J. H. Hoffman was acting pastor a little more than four years, beginning June, 1889. He was succeeded by Rev. W. H. Gane until 1900. Rev. Chas. S. Haynes became the next to fill this pulpit, preaching from 1901 until August, 1904, when Rev. Rolla G. Bugby, the present pas- tor, began his services. The membership of this church is now one hundred and sixty-three, one hundred and twenty- eight of whom are resident. In the summer of 1866 the house of worship was enlarged HISTORICAL. 21 and repaired, at a cost of nearly |3,000, and in the year 1873, a chapel coetin^ some |>1,600 was joined to the rear of the church, and in 1884 a new and beautiful pipe org:an was placed in the house at a cost of about |1,750. In 1893, the sum of $5,000 was again expended in repairing and improving this now modern and comfortable edifice. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The first Baptist preaching in Peterborough, dates back to 1822, and the present society was organized Dec. 19, of that year, with two male, and fourteen female members. The first meeting house, located on High street, was erected very soon after. In the summer of 1842, the new brick church on Main street was completed and dedicated. Rev. Zebulon Jones, pas- tor. After his departure in April 1843, the church was pas- torless about one-half the time until 1848, when Rev. J. M. Chick came, remaining over four .years. Severe trials are noted from 1853 to 1866. During the pastorate of Rev. J. B. Breed, 1876-'77, the church was much quickened and the meeting house thoroughly and substantially repaired. The 50th anniversary was observed in Dec. 1872. Rev. W. O. Ayer, 1871-'74, from whose record of this church in Smith's history a few facts have been gleaned, has long been an esteemed pastor in Brockton, Mass. Rev. James A. Francis, D. D., 1888-'91, is lovingly remembered, and his excellent qualities as preacher and pastor, have made him widely known in New York and Boston. Since leaving the Claren- don St. Church in the latter city, he finds a most congenial p3 22 HISTORICAL. sphere for his unbounded activity as State Evangelist of New York. During the long and happy pastorate of the present pastor, Rev. DeForest Safford, who has been in charge since Jan. 1, 1892, and to whom we are indebted for these facts, the church edifice has been thoroughly repaired withoutand within, a furnace added, a larger organ installed, and electric lights have been made to replace the lamps, all being accomplished by the church, which has now obtained control of a majority of shares in the building, and by their friends in a willing spirit worthy of record. METHODIST SOCIETY The first Methodist sermon preached in Peterborough was in the year 1819, when Rev. Zenas Adams began his ministry throughout this section of Hillsborough County. In 3 824, Rev. Mr. Adams, in connection with Rev. G. Camp- bell, visited this town, and formed a class of 6 members. Up to the year 1834, this place was included in a circuit, being visited at first probably not oftener than once a month. Joseph Allen was the first pastor to be appointed here after this became a station. He remained two years, then Rev. John Allen was stationed here from 1837 to 1839. Up to this time the society had worshipped in school- houses and in private dwellings and for a few years occupied the town house. The year 1839 being centennial year, they obtained many centenary gifts for the purpose of erecting a meetinghouse and were able to complete and dedicate the present neat church Sept. IG, 1840. A pleasant parsonage on the same lot, on Coucort streed, forms a part of the prop- HISTORICAL. 23 erty of this society. Through the earnest efforts of Rev. Dana Cotton, then pastor, a convenient chapel was erected at the rear of the church about 1890. By will of Benj. F. Winn,afund of |800 was bequeathed to this society for the support of preaching;. This sum was afterwards increased |200 from Mr. Geo. Brackett and his niece, Miss Cora Brackett; and by a further sum of |200 through the will of Miss Martha Sawyer. A long list of faithful men have labored with this people. The present pastor, Rev. H, B. Copp, settled here in 1899, has remained for a longer period than any of his predecess- ors. The present membership of this church is about fifty. ST. Peter's catholic church There were but three Catholics in town in 1842, but the number increased so rapidly that in 1847 Rev. John Daly, a missioner from Clarem on t, celebrated here the first mass in this section. Afterwards the pastors at Claremont and Keene administered to the spiritual needs of the Catholics here until it became a mission of Milford, under Rev. Patrick Holahan. In 1874, Fr. Holahan came to reside here; the town was as yet, however, only a mission. After the dedica- tion of the new church here in 1876, Fr. Holahan was pro- moted to Keene, while Rev. Edmund E. Buckle of Lowell, was given the care of the missions including Peterborough, Milford and Greenville, with his residence at Wilton. In June, 1885, he was succeeded by Rev. Patrick L. McEvoy, of Dover, who came to this mission as the second resident priest. The following August he removed to East Jaffrey, 24 HISTORICAL. where the Catholics had purchased a parsonag;e. lu March, 1891, Fr. McEvoy was as8io;ned to Wilton, and was suc- ceeded at East Jaffrey by R-ev. Edw. J. Furlong, During Fr. Furlong's pastorate he became afflicted with what was feared would result in a fatal case of lead-poisoning, from which, however, he slowly recovered; during this period, two assist- ant priests were at different times assigned to the parish; Rev. Patrick J. Scott, in Nov. 1895, and Rev. Francis X. O'Neil in Jan., 1898, the latter remained in that capacity until the formation of the Peterborough parish on July 8, 1900. The present pastor. Rev. John P. O'Neil of Nashua, became the first resident pastor of the new parish, and the third resident priest; the church was then given the name, St. Peters. Ground was broken for the building of the church, Oct. 12, 1869; the first mass was celebrated in the partially fin- ished edifice, Jan. 5, 1870; and it was practically completed in Oct. of that year, the pews, however, were not added until 1876 (eight more in 1886), and the church was formally dedicated May 14, 1876, at which time there were about 30 Catholic families in town. The recently taken census of this parish, comprising almost exclusively the town of Peter- borough, is about four hundred souls. Fr. O'Neil has made many improvements in and about the church, consisting in part of an addition to the sacristy, he has also painted and frescoed the building and cleared and improved the cemetery. He lives in his own house on Union street, and is much beloved by the people. HISTORICAL. 25 MILITARY MATTERS. The part taken by this town in the great contests-at- armsfor the establishment and maintainance of American Independence has been quite fully taken up by Dr. Smith in hishistory, preceding page 172, so we will devote no space to the repetition of these facts and dates. Suffice it to say here that the records made by the men who have gone out from this town to the various wars are such that the hearts of the present generation swell with pride at the recount of their deeds and valor, and have done much to perpetuate their memory. In 1869 the beautiful monument, erected to the memory of those who gave their lives during the war of the Rebellion, was placed in Putnam Grove, on Grove Street, and was ded- icated the 17th of the following June (1870) after the park had been beautified, terraced and fenced. Here it remained until April 15, 1902, when it was removed under a vote of the town to its present location in front of the old Acad- emy, which was presented to the town, in 1899, for the use of the Grand Army and its allied organizations. Aaron S. Stevens Post, No. 6, Dept. of N. H., G. A. R., was organized Feb. 25, 1868. From that time to the pres- ent the names of 197 comrades have been placed on her rolls, The present number of members is 47, many of whom are citizens of adjacent towns. H. T. Buckland is the present commander. 26 HISTORICAL. Aaron S, Stevene,W. R. C, Number 51, was organized in Oct. 1888, with Mrs. D. A. D'Orsey, president. This organi- zation now has a membership of 46. Mrs. Mary Higgins is president. A camp of Sons of Veterans was instituted May 8, 1900 with twenty members. J. A. Duncklee is the present camp commander. Cavalry Troop;— Troop A, Peterborough Cavalry, New Hampshire State Militia, was organized at Peterborough October 5, 1872, by Gen. D. M. White, This is composed of sixty-eight men of this and adjoining towns, and is the only organization of the kind in the state. The names of 265 men have been enrolled on the records of the organization, many of whom have remained in the service for a long period of years. Enlistments are made for three-year periods in the militia, and in case the Troop is called into action, six monthsservice may be demanded in the regular U. S. service. So far the troop has never been called to service. The commanders of the troop, since organization, have been: Genl. D. M. White, the organizer; Col. Charles Scott, Capt. James E. Sanders, Capt. L. P. Wilson, Capt. C. A. Jaquith, Capt. E. H. Smith, the present commander of the State Soldiers' Home at Tilton, and the present commander, Capt. C. B. Davis C. H. Dutton is now First Lieutenant, and Clifford Gowing, Second Lieutenant. HISTOKICAL. 27 EDUCATIONAL ITEMS. We have no record of any action in this township in re- gard to school affairs prior to the incorporation ol the town in 1760, it is supposed, however, that schools either of a private nature or supported by general subscrii)tion were carried on at different intervals. We find on page 14 of the life of Judge Jeremiah Smith, by Rev. John H. Morison (1845), in relation to Judge Smith's early education, that "He began to study Latin when about twelve years old, with Rudolphus Greene, an Irishman employed by the town." This was in 1771, and it is supposed that Greene was the first regular school teacher in the town. At the first meeting of the town, under the act of incorporation, £40 was voted for schooling. The next year, however, we find no appropriation, but a vote that whatever of this sum remained unexpended should be paid to Samuel Stinson for work done on the meeting house. There is not another ap- propriation of money for schools recorded until 1772. We do not conclude that no attention was given to teaching the boys and girls of this period, but as to the method fol- lowed we are unable to say. In the year last mentioned the town took upon itself again the support of public schools, and appropriated £12 for their maintainance. In 1781 the sum of £18, "or paper money equal thereto," was appro- priated tor this purpose, and the selectmen were directed to divide the town into eight parts, "the school to be kept 28 HISTORICAL. equally in each part." In 1787 and 1788 mention was made of a "grammar school," of what grade of attainment we are not informed. In 1789 the "parts" became known as "dioceses," five of which were laid out the following year, and vending the building of school houses in each diocese was put into the hands of the selectmen as a committee. For several years those living at what is now the cen- tral village were not provided with a school of their own, but were obliged to avail themselves of those nearest. Many attempts were made to secure the erection of a school-house here until, finally, in 1799, a vote was made "to give Sam- uel Smith and Asa Evans |150 to build said school-house, — |75 this year and $75 next." The house was to be located "east of the great bridge, nigh the guide post." This was the sixth district in town. At last the village, or centre district, was granted a school-house, with the pittance of $150 and private contri- butions to build the same, but they were not to be satisfied with a common house, merely, but foreseeing their coming needs, they erected a two-story building standing to-day immediately north of the Town Library, the upper room of which they fitted up for the first academy in town, the extra cost being met by the members of the district. How many years the academy was in session we are unable to say, but among the names of those who there gave instruction were Edmund Parker, Reuben D. Musser and Wm. F. Morison, all Dartmouth graduates, who became men of note. In 1824 seven new brick school houses were erected, one in each district, each being erected by the members of the HISTORICAL. 29 district. This method was followed for maoy years, the schools increasing in size and in numbers, the attendance at a school sometimes reaching the one hundred mark, and the number of districts in town reaching at one time eleven. Gradually new methods have been adopted and old ones dis- carded. The rural schools have decreased and in some cases disappeared while the village and hamlet schools have been developed into modern institutions of learning. In 1886 the district system was abolished in town, the town purchas- ing of each district the school property in their possession. The fine school-building in the village, located on the height of land which overlooks a large portion of theContoo- cook valley, was erected in 1889 at a cost of .f 18,000. This building accommodates all village schools, and the town high-school. PETERBOROUGH ACADEMY:— An act incorporating an academy in Peterborough was passed by the New Hamp- shire legislature Dec. 28, 1836. A sufficient subscription having been obtained lor the purpose, a neat brick building- was erected in the village during the summer of 1837, on land presented by Gen. James Wilson for the purpose. The whole amount expended was f 1,453.63. The opening services were held Aug. 21, 1837. Nathan Ballard, a Dartmouth graduate was secured as instructor and the school opened with a large attendance. Mr. Ballard remained but one year, but was succeeded by other able and successful teachers. According to an exhaustive article, written in 1903 lor the Peterborough Historical Society, by James F. Brannan, there were twenty-five principals em- 30 HISTORICAL. ployed in the Academy during the thirty-three years of its activity; nearly all of these men came here from college, remaining but a short time before going to broader fields of usefulness. Regular sessions were held until 1870 when, for lack of attendance, the session closed and the building ceased to be used for an Academy. On Feb. 25, 1871, Miss E. M. Wood commenced a select school here, but met with little success. At the March meet- ing, following, however, the town voted to establish a high school, and a month later the Academy corporation voted to lease this building to the town for that purpose. Highbchool: — Thomas P. Maryatt became the first prin- cipal of the high school, remaining from the opening of the fall term, 187] , to the close of the summer term, 1875. The high school continued to occupy this building until the close of the fall term of 1889, when the Academy building was vacated and ceased to be used for school purposes. In 1890 the spring term of the high school commenced in the new school building, already mentioned, and has continued in its new home. Two rooms have been recently equipped for physical and chemical laboratories in this building, the expense being borne by five of the town's summer visitors. Two hundred and thirty five young men and women have been graduated from this institution of learning, a majority of whom have been sons and daughters of Peter- borough. The graduating class of 1904 numbered twelve. The following is a list of principals of the high school with their dates of service: Thomas P. Maryatt, 1871-75; Leslie C. Cornish, 1875-77; J. O. Tilton, 1877-80; H. M. HISTORICAL. 31 Rich, 1880-81; Edwin H. Taylor, 1881-1882; Charles L. Rich, 1882-83 ;C. L. Rich, resigned in the summer of 1883. Charles N. Beutly taught the Fall term of that year and commenced the Winter term, but during the Thanksgiving recess, the committee report that Mr. Bently "folded his tent like the Arabs, and silently stole away;" Albert D. Smith, 1883-85; Ai S. Anois, 1885-1887; L. G. Smith, 1887- 88; Helen M. Greenwood, 1888-1891; Ella C. Abbot, 1891- 95; Aubrey B. Call, 1895-98: James H. Johnson, 1898-1900; Newton D. Clarke, 1900-01; Frank E. Mason, 1901-04; Verne M. Whitman came in 1904 and is the present princi- pal. A list of the principals, assistants and graduates of the high school from its establishment to 1879 can be found in the printed town report of that year. MANUFACTURING INTERESTS. The earliest manufactories in Peterborough were of a very difierent nature from those which have sprung up in town during the nineteenth century. Instead of here and there the busy hum of a great industrj^ preparing the cloth- ing for thousands, there was, in almost every home, the steady thud of the busy housewife's shuttle as she prepared the cloth for the use of the household. For many years this was the dependence of nearly every family in the township 32 HISTOKICAL. as only a few could afford the expensive goods which were imported from England. The raising of flax, and its prepar- ation and manufacture into cloth was an industrj^ in which nearly every family in town was employed. Great skill was shown in the manufacture of linen goods, which was contin- ued until the manufacture of cotton goods was established about 1810, soon after which the raising of flax ceased. The flrst Peterborough cotton factory, known as the ''Old' or "5e77" Factory was erected in 1809-'10. It stands on the spot where the first saw or grist mill was built in town in 1751, on the north side of the Nubanusit river at the head of a large fall of the same in the Center Village. The machinery was put into operation in 1810 and continued in successful operation for many years. In 1817, an addition of a brick building was made to the factory, and looms added to the establishment under the superintendence of John H. Steele, afterwards Governor of the State, and the first cotton cloth woven by water-power in New Hampshire was manufactured here in May, 1818. Mr. Steele remained in charge of this mill until 1824, when he resigned to take the superintendence of the building of the Union Mill, at the West village. Frederick Livingston bought a part interest in the mill, and in 1855, sold to Ammidown Lane & Co., of New York City, who enlarged and repaired the mill. It was operated by them and others, for many years. This is now thehomeof the Peterborough Shank Co., ithavingbeen occu- pied by several different concerns since becoming unused for a cotton factory. Here the P. C. Cheney Co. manufactured pulp, two different concerns operated for the manufacture of HISTORICAL. 83 indurated fibre ware, and the manufacture of ivory goods has been carried on. The Peterborough Shank Co. came here in 1897, from Greenwich, N. Y. They manufacture leather- board and shoe shanks, forty hands being employed. W. N. Sprague is the president and manager. The Phoenix Factory is situated on the Nubanusit, some thirty rods above its junction with the Contoocook river. In 1812, the northern part of an old building 200 feet long and two-stories high was converted into a cotton factory by Samuel Smith, its owner, and was put in operation in 1813 or 1814, under the direction of his son, Frederick A. Smith. In 1822, the business was changed to weaving, and the fol- lowing year sold to Samuel May, and others. The new com- pany organized, and became incorporated as the "Phcenix Cotton and Paper Factory," but in 1832 this name was changed to the "Phoenix Factory." In 1823 paper making had been given up, and the south part of the old building replaced by a new brick structure. This was destroyed by fire, Dec. 18, 1828, at a loss estimated at |32,000. It was rebuilt in 1829 and filled with machinery and the north half, which had not suffered by the fire, was also replaced by a new brick building and the entire factory put in excellent condition. Jonas Livingston enlarged the mill again during his superintendency. It has been under almost continual operation since it was established, but at the present time is not doing a full volume of business. It is operated with a capitol stock of |100,000, has 40 broad and 104 narrow looms, 5000 spindles, and 22 cards. Fifty hands have been employed during the past winter. The entire product at the 34 HISTORICAL. present time is yarn, which is used in other mills in the man- ufacture of white goods. Benj, Phillips is the present treas- urer, William Knowles is agent. The Eagle Factory building was erected in 1795, by Dan- iel Abbot and was occupied by him for many years as a cab- inet shop, chair factory, and dwelling house. It was con- verted into a cotton factory by him and others, under the name of "Eagle Factory" in 1813, the machinery being built by Harris & Dodge, of this town. It was many jears under the charge of Thomas Baker, and was finally sold to Joseph and Abisha Tubbs. In 1833, it was purchased by Moore & Colby, who, in the summer of that year, removed the old buildings and built a machine shop, where they carried on the manufacturing of machinery. This was carried on later by William Moore, followed by Morrison & Felt, later, Gran- ville P. Felt, and was destroyed by fire Nov. 16, 1875; the place is now occupied by H. B. Needham's Basket shop. The South Factory was erected in 1809, on the west bank of the Contoocook river, in the South Village, and was put in operation the following year. In 1814 or 1815 it was purchased by Nathaniel Morison and was carried on by him for a few years at a great loss. It was then sold to Barry, Senter & Brown, and subsequently by them to Stephen Felt. It was destroyed by fire in 1849, and was never rebuilt. Union Factory.— The first mill was erected in 1824, together with a machine shop, under the care of John H. Steele. In 1856, a new factory building, mill No. 2, was erected and filled with modern machinery for the manufac- ture of sheetings and shirtings. This factory is located at HISTORICAL. 35 West Peterborough on the Nubanusit. John H. Steele remained in charge of this factory until he sold out his inter- est in 1845. In 1900 the Clarendon Mills Co. of West Boylston, whose mills and property was taken by the great Metropolitan Water Works Reservoir, removed their thriving business to the West Peterborough factories. They added a weave-room 75x160 feet, and a fine new bleachery, which was dedicated Feb. 2, 1900. There are now 60 broad and 160 narrow looms. 125 hands are employed regularly. The product consists of crocheted quilts and towels. Benj. Phillips is treasurer, W. T. Butler is the present agent. The North Factory was built in 1813, one and a half miles from the center village, on the Contoocook river. It began operations in 1814, and looms were introduced in 1823, under the direction of Stephen Felt. It continued in operation until 1860 when it was sold to Charles Wilder, and converted into a shop for the manufacture of thermometers and barometers. This business was carried on successfully by Mr. Wilder for many years until his death, July 26, 1900, since which time it has been operated by his executors. This business was removed to Troy, N. Y., May 1, 1905. The thermometers made by Mr. Wilder gained a world-wide repu- tation for accuracy, none of the cheaper grades being manu- factured. The mill to be vacated offers an excellent oppor- tunity for an enterprising business requiring 100 to 160 h-p, which is furnished here by the Contoocook river. Woolen Manufacture. — Wool-carding was introduced in Peterborough during the latter part of the eighteenth cen- 36 HISTORICAL. tury, by Samuel Smith and others. Calvin Chamberlain and James Perkins erected a build- ingfor carding wool and cloth dressing and the manufacture of wool goods in 1813, at the South Village. In 1817, this mill was purchased by Henry F. Coggswell, who made many improvements, but lost the mill by fire in 1823. The follow- ing year he rebuilt larger, and carried on a successful busi- ness lor many years, until he sold to Joseph Noone in 1845. Joseph Noone continued the business until his death, May 20, 1870, afterwards it was carried on by his sons, R. H. and A. W. Noone, under the name of Joseph Noone's Sons and at present by A. W. Noone as Joseph Noone's Sons Co. The mill was destroyed by fire Feb. 16, 1872; soon after this, a substantial brick structure was built on the site. It has continued under successful operation, using up-to-date machinery and trade principles. Basket Manufacture. — This industry was begun in Peter- borough by Amzi Childs, in 1854, in a building situated near the granite mill. Mr. Childs carried on the business for many years and was succeeded by his son, Henry Childs, for a time; the building was subsequently burned and never rebuilt. H. B. Needbam's Basket Shop, now in operation, where Felt's machine shop formerly stood, is one of the liveliest places of business in town. Mr. Needham began in 1881, in a small shop across the canal from the present building. The latter he erected about twelve years ago. He has recently purchased the business of the Standard Basket Co., of Milford, from Gov. McLane, and will double the capacity of his building to accommodate this increase of business. At HISTORICAL. 37 present he averages to employ 25 hands. Splint baskets, of capacities varyinj^ from 2 quarts to 30 bushels are made, much of the work bein^ done by machinery. Mr. Need ham owns the entire business. A peo^ mill was built by Mark Wilder, in 1834, on the Nubanusit river, east of Morison's mill. He commenced bus- iness in 1835, which year he made 1000 bushels of pe^s. After several years the building was converted into a saw mill, then the site was bought by Joshua Briggs to erect a mill for the manufacture of Briggs' Portable Piano-Stools, which he had begun as early as 1862. In 1873, he erected the build- ings that now stand on this site; these he occupied many years and carried on an increasing and profitable business. The building was afterwards occupied by Geo. W. Vinal, but is now vacated. The large, 5-story building near the railroad station was erected by a corporation oi local investors, in 1884, for the manufacture of shoes in town. C. A. Coffin & Co. occupied a portion of it for ten years, manufacturing men's shoes, and G. S. Stockwell & Co. occupied the remainder for the manu- facture of ladies' and children's shoes. At the end of ten years the building was vacated by these concerns. The same year the New York Piano Forte Key Co., Hagan & Ruefer, proprietors, came here from New" York City. They manufac- tured piano keys and piano cases, as well as some complete instruments, employing 35 men. This company removed to Middletown, N. Y., May 1, 1905, leaving again vacant the 45,000 sq. ft. of floor space, which it is hoped will soon be occupied by some successful industry. p4 38 HISTORICAL. The Granite Grist Mill was built in 1840, by Gen. James Wilson and Asa Davis, the granite being quarried on the hill east of the village. The upper story of the building is occu- pied by the Peterboro Transcript. The present owners of the building, Walbridge & Taylor, purchased the property of R. H. Noone, in 1888, at which time the Granite Mill was occupied as a grist mill. The next year they erected the new mill and grain elevator. This was severely damaged in 1903, when fire destroyed the mill machinery and the news- paper presses up stairs. The second story was at one time occupied for the manufacture of shoes. The Peterborough Marble and Granite Wo/As, was estab- lished in the rear of the Granite Grist Mill, in 1849, by Hubert Brennan; it was subsequently moved to the base- ment of the ''Yellow^ Shop" and later to what was formerly the Smith foundry building, both of which were owned by Mr. Brennan. In Dec. 1872, it was moved to its present location in Brennan Block, which was built that year on the site of the buildings burned April 30, 1868, on Main street. In November, 1878, J. F. Brennan, son of the former owner, succeeded to the business and is the present proprietor. The fine output of this establishment is found in all the cemeter- ies within a radius of twenty-five miles. Hubert Brennan, who is now 83 years of age, is still actively engaged, with his son, in the business and is the only person in town who has been in active business for over half a century. The Truss Business. — This business was established by Chas. Thompson in Peterborough, as early as 1840, and is said to have been the first of the kind in America. Wm. F. HISTOEICAL. 39 Pratt bought and enlarged the business, and was associated with others, including Elbridge Howe. Mr. Howe established a new plant about 1880, and in 1884, erected his present building, off Concord street. He has employed as many as ten and twelve hands, and has sold his goods throughout New England and the Central States. S. G. White began manufacturing the "Wright steam- engine governor," in June 1897, but established his machine shops on River street about eight years earlier. He is now assisted by his sons. Besides machine work, all the electri- cal wiring in town is done by this concern. The Peterboro' Creamery Co. was organized in 1883, and a dwelling house situated on Winter street was purchased and fitted up for a creamery. There are now about fifty patrons. John Q. Adams, who is now president of the com- pany, was the first treasurer; E. W. Jones is the present treasurer; F. P. Woodbury is the butter-maker. S. Anderson cC- Son, lumber manufacturers and contract- ors, operate the largest planing mill in town. This is located on the site of the old Smith foundry and was purchased by them of Mr. C. E. Jacjuith, in 1892. From five to twenty men are employed, varying with the season. A. J. Dodge manufactures thermometers on a small scale, at his home on Summer street. The Elm Poultry Fountain Co. manufacture galvanized sheet steel poultry fountains from a variety of models. There were sereral other early industries here, which were of considerable importance, but have now been discon- tinued. Lack of space forbids including them here, but any 40 HISTOEICAL. one interested can find them in Smith's history, (page 200 to 207). PETERBOROUGH TOWN LIBRARY The history of the early libraries in Peterborough is interesting, but to give that is beyond the scope of this brief account. We find the "Peterborough Social Library" was established in 1811; Rev. Abial Abbot got together a circu- lating library soon after; both the Union and the Phcpnix cotton factories had small, well-selected libraries for the use of their employees; and the Peterborough Ministerial Library, connected with the old Parish Church, have all played important parts in developing a love for good litera- ture in the town. The Free Town Library, which was estab- lished April 9, 1833, was doubtless the earliest free public library supported by municipal tax established anywhere among the English speaking people; for this distinction the library received in 1902, the sum of |5,0()0 from Andrew Carnegie, as a fund. The library steadily grew and prospered, the town annually paving, at first |45,now about |l,000forits support. Many personal gifts w^ere received. The library was located in several different places in the vil- lage before it was provided with the present substantial library building, situated at the junction of Main and Con- cord streets. This building is the gift of Mrs. Nancy S. Fos- HISTORICAL. 41 ter, of Chicapjo, and William H. Smith, of Alton, 111., both natives of Peterborough, together with others, who gave toward the lot, that the library might have this superior location. The building was constructed under the direction of the late George S. Morison, also a native of this town, and a civil engineer of national reputation. He built for strength, durability and service. The material is mostly brick and iron, the floors and racks in the stack-room being of the latter material as well as the sills and rafters. The floor of the reading room is of white marble mosaic. The total cost was about |20,000. Since moving into these new quarters in 1893, the number of volumes has increased from 5,000 to 12,000. Art exhibits by the Library Art Club are also given here. The library is open every day in the year and is well served by Mrs. Eva E. Coffin, who has filled the position of librarian since 1890. VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS The Electric Lighting Plant, situated about four miles from the center village, on the Harrisville road, was put in by the Peterboro Electric Light, Power & Heat Co., in 1894; John E. Gale, of Lynn, Mass., being the organizer and prin- cipal owner. The plant was purchased by the town, and possession taken July 1, 1902. The power is obtained from the Nubanuset river and has a capacity of 1200 10 candle- 42 HISTORICAL. power lights. There are probably 1500 lights connected. The purchase of this plant by the town has proven a financial investment of great profit. It is managed by a board of commissioners chosen by the town and a superintendent selected by the commissioners; those for 1905 are: Ezra M. Smith, James F. Brennan and Samuel G. White, Commis- sioners; E. J. Thompson, was superintendent until May 1, 1905. Pearl A. White succeeded Mr. Thompson on that date. A most satisfactory Water System was installed by the town, in 1896, with an investment of |53,000. The supply is obtained from Town Line brook, near the Sharon town line and in quality is as pure as any water supply in the State and of ample quantity for present needs. An immer- gency reservoir, with a capacity of 1,000,000 gals, has been constructed on the hill east of the village, and seventy hydrants throughout the center village. The gravity sys- tem is employed, giving a pressure of from 60 to 125 pounds throughout the village. This system is under the care of the following board of commissioners for 1905: T. B. Tucker, A. J. Walbridge and E. W. Jones. In order to provide for any possible future demands and to insure an ample supply of water during the dryest times, the town voted at the annual meeting, in 1905, to reinforce the supply by laying a pipe from Cunningham pond to connect with the present water system. When this is complete this town will have an ample supply of the purest w^ater. HISTORICAL. 43 FACTS OF INTEREST The first town house was built on Concord street, in 1820. The present brick town hall was erected in 1860. The first (Monad nock) railroad was built to Peterbor- ough, in 1870, connecting this town with Winchendon,Mass. This was opened for traffic, June 6, 1871. The Peterboro' & Hillsboro' Railroad was constructed in 1877-'8, and opened for trafiic in July, 1878. The Peterborough State Bank was incorporated in July, 1854, and began operations Jan. 1, 1855, with a capital of $50,000. A. C. Cochrane, pres.; C. G. Cheney, cashier. Closed operations May 27, 1865. The First National Bank of Peterborough, was estab- lished on the latter date, with $100,000 capital. Removed from Granite Block to present quarters in the Savings Bank Building in June, 1875. Present officers: W. G. Livingston, pres.; F. G. Livingston, casshier. Surplus fund, March 15, 1905, 120,000; deposits subject to check, |170,000; undi- vided profits, 115,422.16.

The Contoocook Valley Savings Bank, chartered in 1883. 44 HISTORICAL. after several years business went out of existence. The first newspaper published in town was the HILLS- BORO REPUBLICAN AND NEW HAMPSHIRE CLARION, published in 1829. The second was THE PHOENIX GAZETTE, published in 1832. The third, not the second as the town history states, was THE MESSENGER, published is 1847, for ten months. The first number of the CONTOO- COOK TRANSCRIPT, published by Miller & Scott, was issued June 2, 1849, with 400 subscribers. Farnum & Scott, who became owners in 1866, changed the name to THE PETER- BORO' TRANSCRIPT. This paper has continued without interruption to the present time and is now conducted by the administrator of the estate of the late Ella G. Cummin^s, through Geo. D. Cumraings (sou of the late proprietor.) Geo. W. Cummings, is manager. This is a four-page weekly and is published in the Granite Mill building. Arthur M. Emmes has recently been succeeded by Geo. W. Ames, as editor. The Peterborough Historical Society was organized Feb. 8, 1902, Charles Scott, president. It publishes from time to time in its ''Collections" valuable historical articles.

It is not entirely owing to the excellence of our Shoe Department, the fine showing of the most wanted Dry Goods, Dainty Waists, Skirts, Ties, Ginghams, Lawns, Ribbons and Cresco Corsets, or the beautiful Crockery, China, Glass, Carpets, Rugs and Art Squares on our second floor, or The very Low Prices of Our Goods But these combined with the pleasant store and the good service that all appreciate so much, that make you feel at home, and makes our store your store.

Gensus-1905 The population ol the town of Peterborough has been arranged in families where that arrangement has been possible. In these families, in addition to the resident living members, the names of the non-resident members are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of all former residents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After the name of each non-resident will be found the present address, when such address has been given to us. Non-resi- dents are indicated by the (*). When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). Following the names of the population is the occu pation, postofRce address, or rural free delivery route. To designate the occupations we have used the more common abbreviations and contractions, as follows: Farmer — iar; carpenter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached the age of five years)— pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon— phy & sur; clergyman— clerg; mer- chant— mer; teacher — tr; blacksmith — blk; clerk— cl; book- keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic— mech; machinist— mach; engineer— eng; maker — mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; shoe shop work— shoe op; cotton or woolen mill operatives — mill op; weaver — weav; spinner — spin; electrician — elec; painter — ptr; carriage work — car wk; dress maker — dr mkr; insurance — ins; traveling salesman, or commercial traveler — sales, or coml trav; music teacher — mus tr; teamster — team; piano maker— pn mkr; shank maker— shk op; basket maker — bkt mkr; thermometer maker— ther mkr. This Census w^as taken expressly for this work during Feb. and March of 1905, by Roscoe A. Weston, Mt. Vernon, Me. CENSUS. 47 PETERBOROUGH POSTOFFICE Where no address is g;iveii Peterborough P. 0. is under- stood. West Peterborough is expressed "West." Those having mail delivered by rural free delivery have the number of the route given after the name.
