(VII) George Barber Raymond, son of Levi Raymond (6), was born in Winchendon, April 21, 1822. He was educated in the common schools of that town, and his early years were spent on the farm with all the meagre advantages and depriva- tions that accompanied agricultural pursuits in those days. When nearly twenty-one years old, he bought the remainder of his time of his father and removed to Grafton, where he learned the carpenter's trade. For some time part of his employment was the making of shoe boxes. He returned to Winchendon and worked two years for Major Sidney Fairbank, whom he then bought out, forming a partnership with Charles E. Forristal as carpenters and builders. He bought the interests of his partner and con- tinues alone, although Mr. Forristal remained in his employ until 1865, in charge of the business, Mr. Raymond being obliged to give all his own time to his pail factory at Harrisville. This property was destroyed by fire a few years ago. In 1867 Ray- mond & Forristal built the steam mill in what was then almost a wilderness. In 1868 a partnership
was formed by Raymond, Forristal and C. J. Rice for the manufacture of blinds, chair frames, hay rakes and manufacturing lumber. Additions were made to this business in various directions until it assumed large proportions. On the death of Mr. Forristal, the two remaining partners continued the business. After the death of Mr. Rice Mr. Raymond took his son, Henry M. Raymond, into the firm and himself retired as silent partner. Thirty years ago he became interested in the grocery business in the Tucker-Rice block, of which he owned a third in- terest. This grocery business was conducted by his son, Hervey T. Raymond.
Mr. Raymond joined the Congregational church when a boy, but in 1859 became a member of the Baptist church and has ever since been a consistent and influential worker of that denomination. Many of the poor of the town had reason to revere his memory for kindness done them. He was a man of great energy, decided opinions and high character. In politics he was first Whig, then Republican, and he filled many important offices in the town. He was selectman from 1861 to 1866, inclusive, during the trying period of the civil war, assessor 1863-64, and was on many town committees. He was active during the civil war in raising troops.

He then entered the employ of his father and learned the trade of car- penter, which he followed for some time. Ile be- came superintendent of his father's steam saw mill. After the death of Mr. Rice, the junior partner of his father's firm, the firm became G. B. & H. M. Raymond, and the management of the business was left largely in the hands of the son and junior part- ner. When his father died he became the sole pro-
prietor of the lumber business. Later Mrs. Ray- mond sold out to the firm of Ballou & McColley. Mr. Raymond died October 14, 1905. He passed away in the prime of life, mourned by his family and many friends, for he was generous, sympathetic and hospitable. He had the qualities that attract friends in all relations of life. lle was successful in business and stood in the foremost rank of Wiu- chendon manufacturers. In politics he was a Re- publican and served the town as selectman for a number of years. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church, was for many years chairman of the standing committee, and was especially active in the purchase and installing of the new church bell. He was a member of Monomonack Lodge, No. 121, Odd Fellows, and had passed through the chairs of that organization. He was a member of Watatic Tribe, No. 85, Red Men, and of the Avon Club of Winchendon.

Harrington and his sons, Edwin Chester Harrington and John Walter Harrington, of Wor- cester, Massachusetts. The name was variously spelled on the carly records Harrington, Herring- ton, Herington, Arrington and Errington. His name appears last on the list of proprietors of . the town of Watertown, Massachusetts, made out in 1642-1644. Hle then owned a homestall, as it was called, given him by Thomas Hastings. This gift renders it probable that he was a kinsman of Dea- con Hastings. He was admitted freeman May 27, 1663, and he married, October 1, 1649, Susanna George. She was born 1632, died July 6, 1694.

His inventory mentions sixteen lots of land amounting to six hundred and forty-two and one-half acres and appraised at seven hundred and seventeen pounds. His homestead bought De- cemher 24, 1684. of Jeremiah Dummer, a goldsmith of Boston, for ninety pounds comprised the westerly half. some two hundred and fifty acres, of the Oldham farm, and it is interesting to note that his farm on the Charles river is or was recently owned hy descendants, having been kept in the family con- tinuously.
