DANVERS.

BANKS.

Some pages in regard to the banks of the town were overlooked when the manuscript was delivered to the publishers; and the newspapers of the town were not spoken of in any separate paragraph. A few words follow concerning these topics.

The earliest bank established in Danvers, prior to the division of the town, was the Danvers Bank, in- corporated February 26, 1825. The Warren Bank was incorporated March 5, 1832. Both are Peabody in-

stitutions.

The Village Bank was chartered by the Legislature March 31, 1836, in compliance with a petition dated "Danvers, January 18, 1836," and signed by John Page, Moses Black, Elias Putnam, Jeremiah Stone, Allen Putnam, Daniel P. King and Jacob F. Perry. The petition read as follows :

" The undersigned, Citizens of Danvers and the neighboring towns in the County of Essex, respect- fully represent : That the inhabitants of the Northerly and Easterly part of said town constitute a village of between fifteen and twenty hundred persons, a large portion of whom are actively engaged in business re- quiring the facilities of a Bank ; and also the towns of Beverly, Wenham and Topsfield are connected with them in business ; that they are now compelled to travel several miles for the purpose of transacting bank business, and are subject to much inconvenience. Wherefore we pray that we and our associates may

be incorporated as a Bank by the name of the Village Bank, with a Capital of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, to be located at Porter's Plains ( so called ) in said Danvers."

The charter, granted in answer to this petition, was to extend to October 1, 1851.

The first meeting of the stockholders of the Village Bank was held "at Eben G. Berry's Tavern," on Friday April 22, 1836. Elias Putnam was chosen moderator and Moses Black, Jr., clerk. It was voted to accept the charter granted by the Legislature, and Elias Putnam, Jeremiah Stone and Eben Putnam were chosen to consider favorable locations for a banking-house. At adjournment, May 9th, the first board of directors were chosen, namely : John Page, Eben Putnam, Samuel Preston, John Pertey, Elias Putnam, Daniel F. Putnam, Joseph Stearns, Amos Sheldon, Moses Black, Jr., Samuel Putnam, Nathaniel Boardman, Frederick Perley. It was reported " that Sleeper's house and land on the corner could be pur- chased for $3000, and that it would be a favorable place for a Bank," and later this estate was purchased for $2800.

It was a large brick building standing on the north- western corner of the main square of the Plains village. June 6, 1836, it was voted " an Engraving be taken, re- presenting the location and situation of the Bank and vicinity for a picture on the bills." Lithographic reproductions of the old cut, recently printed on the checks of the bank, give a very good idea of the square as it appeared fifty years ago. In the great fire ot 1845 the Sleeper Building was ruined and a smaller brick edifice was erected near the spot, Maple Street being then widened at that point. This structure, to which an extension on the south side has lately been added, was used by the bank until, in 1854, the large and fine building which it now occupies was erected on the opposite side of the street.

A special meeting was held October 5, 1840, to con- sider the expediency of surrendering the charter. On the question "Shall the Bank be continued ?" there were two hundred and twenty-three yeas to ninety-three nays. In March, 1843, on the same ques- tion, the records show that by a slight majority of the whole number of stock votes, it was decided to sur- render the charter. Most of those in favor of retain - ing the charter refrained from voting, but brought the matter before the Governor and Council, who, after the evidence, decided " that there was not a legal ex- pression of a majority of the stockholders in favor of surrendering the charter." The following December the question came up once more, when those who thought it expedient to close up the bank again failed of a majority.

By an act May 2, 1849, the charter was extended to January 1, 1875. An increase of forty thousand dollars capital was authorized April 28, 1853, and still another increase of forty thousand dollars was author- ized March 28, 1854. The capital thus having been

raised to two hundred thousand dollars, a reduction was afterward authorized to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, February 13, 1862. The occasion of this reduction was the large loss sustained through non-payment of Southern paper at the breaking out of the Rebellion.

The par value of stock was then reduced from one hundred to seventy-five dollars.

In the fall of 1864 measures were taken to organize the bank as an association for carrying on the busi- ! ness of banking under the laws of the United States, and its name was subsequently changed to the First National Bank of Danvers.

At the first meeting of the directors, May 10, 1836, Elias Putnam was chosen president of the bank, and he held the office until his death, July, 1847. He had been foremost to see and meet the need of the estab- lishment of such an institution, and it was largely owing to his firm and manly support in critical times that its charter was not surrendered. For further particulars of the origin of the bank and Mr. Putnam's connec- tion therewith, see the sketch of his life in preceding pages. Moses Putnam, the second president, held the office until his decease, when, October 13, 1856, Daniel Richards was chosen his successor, and his term of office, covering more than thirty years, like- wise ended with his life. Gilbert Augustus Tapley, the fourth and present president, was elected Novem- ber 22, 1886.

The first cashier of the bank was Samuel B. But- trick, who continued in office until May, 1841, when he returned to Salem, his former place of residence, where he recently died at an advanced age and high- ly respected by his fellow-citizens. He was succeeded by William L. Weston, who occupied the position for about forty-three years, resigning his place in March, 1884. The present incumbent is Mr. Benjamin E. Newhall.

The present board of directors, 1888, consists of Edwin Mudge, Samuel P. Fowler, Gilbert A. Tapley, John R. Langley, Charles H. Gould, William M. Currier and Austin S. Richards. A complete list of directors, with their terms of service, here follows :

DANVERS SAVINGS BANK .- Under the name of the Danvers Savings Bank, Moses Putnam, Samuel Putnam, Elbridge Trask, their associates and she- cessors, were incorporated March 20, 1850. Its first president, Gilbert Tapley, served from April 26, 1850, to March 30, 1859 ; his successors, Rufus Putnam, April, 1859, to November, 1875; Israel II. Putnam, January, 1876, to April 29, 1884; Augustus Mudge, from last date to the present. William 1. Weston, the first treasurer, was elected to that office and also secretary, May 7, 1850, and after a service of nearly thirty-four years, resigned March 3, 1884. Israel II Putnam then accepted the position of treasurer, which he continues to hold. A. F. Welch, as- sistant treasurer since April 11, 1884, was formerly teller in the National Bank. The first deposit was made May 13, 1850 ; there were three hundred and sixty-four deposits during the first year, amounting to $31,646; and twenty-four payments, amounting to $2823.72; the first dividend amounted to $72.75. For the year ending May 1, 1887, there were 2015 de- posits, amounting to $138,587.84. Liabilities, May 1, 1887, -- Deposits, $1,065,621.57 ; profits, $32,061.90; guaranty fund, $33,300 ; total, $1,130,983.47.

NEWSPAPERS.

The earliest newspapers published in Danvers were printed in the South Parish (now the town of Peabody,) and will be found referred to under the history of that town. The Danvers Mirror was first issued by H. C. Cheever, in October, 1870. It led a more or less precarious existence until November, 1875, when it was purchased by C. H. Shepard & Co., the firm consisting of Charles H. Shepard and his sister, Mary E. Shepard. Printing and editorial rooms were at once fitted up by the new proprietors in the Ropes Block, where the paper has since had its home. Mr. Cheever removed from town after selling The Mirror, but some years later returned, and for a short time published a paper devoted to the interests of the " Greenback" party. For a time an edition of the Peabody Press with the heading "Danvers Monitor" had a limited circulation, and several ama- teur publications have had a short existence. With these exceptions, The Mirror has held a monopoly of the local journalistic field since its establishment. Since January 10, 1885, Mr. Shepard has been sole proprietor, and he has always edited the paper. He is a native of Stetson, Maine, and lived in Texas from 1857 to 1866, where he was in the drug business, which business he at first engaged in here, opening, in

July 1873, the new store, in which he was succeeded by E. C. Powers. The Mirror has won a deservedly high reputation among newspapers of its class. It is ably conducted and is kept scrupulously clean. Its editorials are always pronounced in their view and in polities are stalwartly Republican. Its files are very rich in material for local history, and have been freely drawn upon in the preparation of the present sketch of Danvers. Early in 1876 a "Centennial Number" was issued in reponse to the invitation of the Exposition managers, in the preparation of which much care was taken, to make a valuable com- pendium of the history and condition of the town. Chief among the articles of historic value which have been from time to time contributed is a long aud exceedingly interesting series of letters, contributed by Rev. A. P. Putnam, D.D., entitled " Danvers at Home and Abroad." Many facts and reminiscences have been thus preserved by Deacon S. P. Fowler, the late Deacon Samme! Preston, Rev. M. K. Cross, the late Hon. J. D. Philbriek, the late William R. Putuam, Miss Hattie P. Fowler and others; while among the more frequent general contributors are the names of Hon. Augustus Mudge, Rev. C. B. Rice, Hon. Arthur A. Putnam, George F. Priest, Charles 11. Peabody, Edwin Mudge, from a trip round the world ; Miss (. L. Turner, from the Sandwich Islands ; Miss II. E. Jenners, from Europe, " Quad" and " A. S. K." contributors of locals from the Centre and Port respectively, are G. F. Priest and A. S. Kelly. W. E. Osborn and H. M. Kenniston have been associated with the printing department from the first.

EDWIN MUDGE.

Edwin Mudge, a shoe manufacturer, born August 4, 1818, was educated at the public and private schools of Danvers and at Andover Academy ; re- sides in Boston one-half of the year,-his firm, E. & A. Mudge & Co., having had a store in Boston for thirty years, to which he has devoted his time. Ile was one of the selectmen in 1852 and 1853, and a member of the Legislature in 1868 and 1869, con- tributing all his salary (sixteen hundred and eighty- eight dollars) towards erecting the soldiers' monument in both of the towns of his district, Danvers and Wenham. He has been a director of the Village Bank (now the First National), since 1854, and one of the vice-presidents of the Danvers Savings Bank for several years.

He has spent one year and a half in foreign travel, making three tours- the first to Great Britain, Ger- many, Switzerland and France; the second extended seven hundred miles up the Nile, through Palestine, Constantinople, Athens and Italy ; the third, around the world rie California through Japan, China, India, Egypt, Spain, France and England, his wife accom- panying him upon the two former and his daughter upon all of them. He has always been a thorough

temperance man in principle and practice, and in polities a strong Republican.

TOWN OF ESSEX. A LONG WEDDED LIFE.

John Burnham, now eighty-nine years old (a de. scendant of the first John, who came in 1635), with his wife, now nearly eighty-one, commemorated the sixty-third anniversary of their marriage December 2, 1887, at their residence, near the North Church.

PEABODY.

WILLIAM KING.

William King, the ancestor of the King family in the vicinity of Peabody, at the age of forty, with his wife, Dorothy, and five children,-Mary, Katheryn, William, Hannab and Samuel-sailed from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, Eng., in March, 1635-36, for New Eng- land. Hle settled at Salem, and was admitted a free- man May 25, 1636. He received several grants of land, one of forty acres at Jeffrey's Creek (now Man- chester-by-the-Sea), one of thirty acres at Royal Side, and one of forty acres in the northerly part of the territory now Peabody. lis homestead was at Royal Side. Iu 1637 his name appears on the list of grand jurors He was a member of the First Church, and in 1637 he identified himself with the Antinomian movement, and coming into opposition to the ecclesi- astical authorities, he was admonished to sever his connection with that >ect, under penalty. of being disarmed. It is interesting to note in this early an- cestor the same characteristie of independence in thought and action which distinguished Daniel Put- nam King.

Mr. King succeeded the lon. Leverett Saltonstall as Representative to Congress. Mr. Saltonstall was at the time of his death the president of the Essex Ag- ticultural Society, and Mr. King delivered an address before the trustees of that society, June 25, 1843, on the death of Mr. Saltonstall. Mr. King held, at dif- ferent times, the offices of secretary, vice-president and trustee of the society.

While in Congress he was prominent as a member of the Committee on Revolutionary Claims, and among other efforts in behalf of the veterans of the War of 1812, he labored earnestly for the granting of pensions to wounded privateersmen, as pledged by the act of June 26, 1812.

On the Ith of May, 1846, on a bill declaring that a state of war existed between this country and Mex- ico, one hundred and seventy-four voted in the atfirm- ative and fourteen in the negative, including in the latter John Quincy Adams, Ashmun, Grinnell, Hud- son and Daniel l'. King. This minority was named, in a spirit of ridicule, "the immortal fourteen ;" but Mr. King more than once afterward, on the floor of the House, upheld his position at that time, and in

2115

APPENDIX.

his speech of February 4, 1847, on the general ap- propriation bill and the Mexican War, he said in explanation of his course : " This is a war of con- quest, a war for the acquisition of territory ; and the fixed determination of the Administration is, that that territory shall be slave territory." In the same speech he said : " But the course of the true patriot. to me, appears plain ; the proud waves of slavery must be stayed,-so far, no farther,-it must not invade another inch of free soil. . . .

" For once let the South know that some Northern men have Northern principles ; that though they love their favor and approbation much, they love more the favor and approbation of their own neighbors and constituents, and still more the approbation of their own consciences. On this great question of the extension of slavery, with all its fearful consequences, let it never be said of any one representative of the Free States that he sold his vote, and, 'like the base Judean,' for a few pieces of flirty silver, threw away a pearl worth more than all prospects of political

advancement-worth more than all prospects of earthly enjoyment."

Such language, and other equally outspoken sen- timents in opposition to slavery in the same speech, at that period it required the highest courage to utter in Congress. In his speech of May 21, 1850, upon the California question and the ordinance of 1757, Mr. King reiterated his determination that by no act of his should one foot of slave territory be added to this country, and met the threats of disunion and civil strife with the most unflinching avowal of his principles, paying the highest tribute to the wisdom and statesmanship of Nathan Dane, the author of the famous ordinance of 1787.

In paying a tribute of respect to Mr. King in Con- gress, the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop said of him, "I can truly say that I have rarely met with a juster or worthier man, or with one more scrupuously faith- ful to every obligation to his neighbors, his country, and his God."

ERRATA.

Despite earnest efforts to make the sketch of Danvers in the preceding pages free from errors, a few have been noticed, as follows :

On page 426, ninth line of the second column, for " daughter of Governor Winthrop," read "grand- daughter of Governor Winthrop," or "daughter of Governor Winthrop, the younger."

On page 440, near the end of the first column, at the commencement of the paragraph concerning the Mudge family, "1724" is a typographical error for " 1624."

On page 448, last line but one of the second col- umn, for "flight" read "fight," and on page 191, fourteenth line of the second column, "diary " should be " dairy."

On page 534, second column, the date of the sailing of the Eighth Regiment, November 7th, is given on the authority of Adjutant-General Schouler. A Dan- vers soldier says, however, the date was November 25th.

On page 522, in the sketch of Dr. Osgood, instead of " lle was a son-in-law of Dr. Holten," read " Ile married a grand-daughter of Dr. Holten."

In the list of physicians of the town, the name of one of the most prominent resident practitioners, Dr. E. A. Kemp, does not appear. The writer cannot sufficiently blame himself for so strange and unpar- donable an omission.

l'age 547, second column, thirteenth line from bot- tom, read " is " for " was."

Page 552, first column, first line, read " men " for " man."

Page 563, first column, second line from bottom. read " solicitudes " for " solicitations."

Page 351, first column, eighth line from bottom, read, " In 18-14, meeting."

Page 1795, first column, "of that city " should read " Lawrence."

Page 1882, first column, seventeenth line from top should read " In 1833 he."
