At Ringville, also, on Watt's stream, a tributary flowing in at that point, was the site of a saw-mill ; building still there, but dilapidated and unused. Farther up on Watt's stream was an old saw-mill, on the present Winslow property ; went down perhaps thirty-five years ago. On the other branch of Little River, known on the maps as Ward's Creek, below Mr. Eager's meadow, was the earliest saw-mill in town, according to Bisbee's historical address,-a water-privilege that must have been improved one hundred and twelve or one hundred and fourteen years ago, but of which scarcely a trace remains at the present time.

On the middle branch of the Westfield, in the south west part of the town, is the saw-mill and turning-shop of George Miller. These are upon the site of a still older saw-mill, dating back many years. The Miller buildings were damaged by the freshet of December, 1878. Mr. Miller, though in Worthington, is so shut in by the hills to the east that his route of business is the other way, mostly into Middlefield and Chester. On the tributary of the middle branch flowing in from the northeast, at the corner of Middlefield, there are

not known to have been any mill privileges improved. On Fuller's Brook from the northwest, flowing in near the school- house, is the site of an abandoned saw-mill-not used for thirty or forty years-owned by one Smith. On the middle branch, above the school-house, is the steam saw-mill of F. M. Knapp, built within two or three years.

At West Worthington Falls was formerly an ancient saw- mill on the east side. This was bought some years ago by O. B. Parish, and afterward abandoned. He then built on the west side, about fifteen years ago, and opened a manufactory of pieker-sticks and loom-fixtures generally. These works are still run by Mr. Parish.

At West Worthington Falls was an ancient grist-mill,-gone before 1820,-owned by the grandfather of O. B. Parish ; old mill-stones still there. At that point was the Watson tannery in 1820, doing a large business ; lasted for many years, but was finally abandoned. It was on the east side of the stream. A short distance above is the bedstead-factory established by Bartlett & Jones, perhaps thirty-two years ago, now owned and run by David Jones & Son. Above, north of the village, is the saw-mill, and also the grist-mill, owned by J. N. & H. Benton. These were owned by Spencer Parish, 1820 and earlier. He sold to Capt. Gaylord; Gaylord to Adams ; Adams to the Bentons. Spencer Parish built them. On the same site was a saw-mill once owned by John Parish.

East of Bentons' mills, on the old stage-road, was the extensive tannery of Clark & Bardwell, located in the " Hol- low," so called. This was 1820 to 1830. This was not a financial success, and Clark afterward established another on or near the site of the mills of Jones & Son. The Andrew B. Medberry tannery was also noted at an early day. It was opposite the present works of O. B. Parish. Near Worthing- ton Corners, in the valley, was an old tannery. Extensive potash-works were carried on at that point by Col. Ward. Earlier than that Mills & Wetmore were in business at that point; no buildings there now. A brick-yard was formerly run (1800 to 1820) in the south part of the town, near where Mr. Simeon Merritt now lives.

More blacksmith-shops were maintained at an early day than now. In 1820 five were doing a good business,-Jonah Brewster, William Rice, Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Drake, and Deacon Todd. In 1878 there were barely two.

Distilleries were common in early times. In 1820 there were three in town,-those of Jonah Brewster, John Stone, Jr., aud Elijah Drury.

For these facts concerning the mills and general business we are indebted to Horace Cole, Col. Oren .Stone, and D. P. llewitt. The latter, coming to Worthington in 1820, has been closely identified with the business of the town, and thor- oughly conversant with public affairs. For many years he was deputy-sheriff, and it is said a criminal seldom or never escaped when Hewitt once had a warrant for him.

The ten leading articles of farm production for the year ending May 1, 1875, were as follows, with their several values stated : Butter, $17,974; hay, $36,928; manure, $7820; fire- wood, $6609; maple-sugar, $7669 ; milk, $41,976; beef, $8546; potatoes, $8213 ; pork, $4607 ; apples, $2874.

MILITARY.

Worthington was not settled early enough to be included in the era of Indian warfare. The scenes of savage slaughter, and the ever-brooding fear of sudden attack that hung like a cloud over the earlier towns had all passed away before the first hardy adventurers settled upon the hills of Worthington. They, however, were immediately called to face the questions involved in the opening troubles of the Revolution, as shown in the following extracts from the records :

June 28, 1774 .- At a town-meeting called for the purpose of "considering the alarming circumstances of the times," Capt. Ebenezer Leonard was chosen moderator. Deacon Nathan Leonard, Dr. Moses Morse, Nahum Eager, Capt.

Nathaniel Daniels, and Mr. Thomas Kinne were appointed a committee of corre- spondence. Then voted to adjourn three weeks, but no meeting at that time is recorded.

Sept. 20, 1774 .- Voted to raise fifteen pounds for a town stock of ammunition, " such as powder, flints, and balls."

Sept. 27, 1774 .- Voted to have the 7th and 8th articles of the Hampshire County Congress to be the rule of our conduct.

Nov. 15, 1774 .- Voted to dissolve the former covenant relating to the non-ini- portation agreement, to have it null and void. Voted a committee of inspection to put in force the resolutions of the Provincial Congress of October 21. Com- mittee, Moses Morse, Thomas Kinne, Nathaniel Daniels, Voted to pay tbe Province money into the hands of Henry Gardner, of Stowe, and the collector was promised indemnity in case of any trouble arising therefrom.

Nov. 15, 1774 .- Chose Nahum Eager delegate to the Provincial Congress to nicet Nov. 22, 1774.

In the warrant for a meeting dated Jan. 23, 1775, are these clauses : "To see if the town will accept of and enforce the execution of the By-Laws of the Pro- vincial Congress ;" " To see if the town will send one or more delegates tu the Provincial Congress to meet at Cambridge, Feb. 1, 1775 ;" " To see if the town will do anything to encourage the learning of military discipline for the number of men recommended by the Provincial Congress ;" "To see how much money the town will vote for each day and each half day for those who instruct them- selves in the military art ;" "To see if the town will choose a committee to re- ceive donations for the poor of Boston, as is recommended by the Provincial Con- gress." All these seem to have been passed by or voted down.

The town fathers evidently moved cantiously, but still were ready for every necessary patriotic work, as the event tully proved.

The last town-meeting called " in his Majesty's name" seems to have been Jan. 23, 1775. They are then called sim- ply by the selectmen. " The State of Massachusetts Bay" is recognized first in the town records Feb. 25, 1777, when the committee of inspection fixed the price of labor and grain, and provisions generally.

April 2, 1778,-Voted unanimously by III votes to disapprove the constitution agreed upon by the General Court.

May 11, 1778,-Voted to raise £120 to purchase clothing for the army.

July 8, 1779 .- Doctor Moses Morse was chosen a delegate to attend the con- vention called nt Concord for July 14th. Dr. Moses Morse, Capt. Nathaniel Daniel, Stephen Fitch, John Skiff, Seth Sylvester, were chosen as committee of correspondence and safety.

Aug. 17, 1779 .- Voted two delegates to Cambridge,-Dr. Moses Morse and Seth Sylvester.

Ang. 31, 1779 .- Voted but one delegate,-Seth Sylvester. Was this a round- abont process by which they set aside Dr. Morse and substituted Mr. Sylvester ? Nov. 3, 1779 .- Voted to raise 600 pounds as a tax, to pay for 12 blankets, and pay mileage and bounties for ye soldiers last raised, and other necessary charges. June 22, 1780 .- Voted to raise 200 pounds Continental money as a bounty to each soldier, and make them up three pounds a month, including their Conti- nental pay, estimating wheat at 5 shillings per bushel, rye at 3 shillings, and Indian corn at two shillings 6 pence.

July 17, 17>0 .- Voted that the two last soldiers for six months for this town have the same bounty that the first nine had, and that 600 pounds be raised for that purpose. Voted that each of the soldiers raised for three months have one hundred and fifty pounds as bounty, to be paid to them in two months from the date hereof. Voted that the Selectmen be empowered to purchase the Horses sent for by the Court to this town, by giving their security in behalf of the town, if they may not be hnd on the terms ordered by the Court, June 23, 1780.

Jan. 2, 1781 .- Voted to pay the sokliers raised in July last, for the time they serve, three pounds a month, including their Continental pay.

Jan. 31, 1781 .- Voted to raise 8 men to serve in the Continental army three years,-Nahum Eager, Capt Ebenezer Webber, John Skiff, Lieut. Constant Web- ster, Seth Sylvester, Lient. Timothy Meech, Ensign John Kinne, and Robert Day.

The committee could themselves have just filled the order.

Depreciated currency troubled the town fathers at that time, as appears :

July 30, 1781 .- Voted that the Town treasurer should pay the Constables the whole or part of the old Continental money now in the Treasury, and take a re- ceipt for the same obliging the repayment in the new emission at the rate of forty for one,-provided it shall answer at the State Treusurer's office, and if other- wise, to return it.

It is thus shown that earnest co-operation was given to the efforts of the committee of safety in Boston. The men capable of bearing arms-as shown from other sources than the records -were directed to meet for the choice of military officers, and were encouraged to study the military art. Immediately after the battle of Lexington, 71 men from Worthington and Ashfield marched to Cambridge. Ebenezer Webber, of Worthington, was captain of the company, while the lieuten- ants, Samuel Allen and Samuel Bartlett, were from Ashfield.

HISTORY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY.

From this time, through all the war, no town in this sec- tion of country was more thoroughly drained of men, money, and material than Worthington. In 1780, as seen in the records given, when there came a requisition for horses, which actually could not be supplied, because they did not have them, the people then voted to give the security of the town for the price of the horses, if they could be found elsewhere. In some of the later years of the war (1779-82), such was the number of men absent in the army that there were not more than 10 or 12 men to attend church on the Sabbath from some 70 families.

It is not probable that a perfect list can now be made of those who served in the war of the Revolution from this town. The following names are preserved : Samuel Dewey, Bar- nabas Clapp, Lemuel Clapp, Isaac Clapp, Stephen Clapp, Gershom Randall, Samuel Buffington, Nathaniel Daniels, Jr., John Daniels, Samuel Daniels, Dan Daniels, Jeremiah Kinne, Samuel Cole, Daniel Goodman, Gershom Brown, John Howard, David Woods, Samuel Follett, Jonas Leonard, Asa Cottrell, Nicholas Cottrell, Samuel Pettengill, Elisha Brewster, Richard Briggs, Israel Burr, Roger Benjamin, Thomas Buck, Asa Jackson, Sylvanus Parsons, Moses Buck, Samuel Kingman, Alexander Kingman, Ephraim Parish, Timothy Meech, Asa Benjamin, John Stone, Nahum Eager, Lott Drake, Jonathan Ring, Rufus Marsh, Joseph Marsh, Jr., Joshua Morse. James C. Rice, in his history of Worth- ington, says of this period, when the men were so largely in the army :

"The females of many families worked on the farms of their husbands and brothers during the greater part of their absence in the war. Many plowed their own lands, sowed their grain, and planted and hoed their corn during the spring ; in the summer and fall, gathered the bay and the harvests ; in the winter months, fed and took care of the cattle in the barns, drove them to the brooks for water, and oftentimes yoked their oxen and went to the woods to cut the fuel necessary for their use."

The study of these noble sacrifices by the people of his native town no doubt inspired this heroie man, a few years later, to lay his own life-a rich and costly gift-upon the altar of union and freedom.

The people of Worthington shared to some extent in the disaffection existing at the time of the Shays rebellion, though there seems to be no evidence as to the number that actually joined "Shays' army." The insurgents, in making arrange- ments for raising troops, appointed at one time a large com- mittee, of which Mr. Samuel Morse, of Worthington, was one. The town also sent to the celebrated Hatfield conven- tion, under date of August 17, 1786, Lieut. Seth Sylvester and Lieut. Stephen Fitch. A committee to " instruct" them was also appointed,-Samuel Clapp, Constant Webster, Na- than Leonard, Ebenezer Webber, Samuel Buck, and Thomas Burch.

In 1812, Worthington was represented in the anti-war con- vention held at Northampton, July 14th, by Ezra Stark- weather and Jonathan Brewster. The former was a member of the committee appointed to report in regard to the proper action of the convention.

A meeting was held at Northampton, Nov. 16, 1814, to con- sider the disastrous effect of the war, and to express an opinion upon the subject of a draft which it was supposed Congress was about to order. It resolved " that we view with indigna- tion and unqualified disgust the projeet boldly avowed of in- troducing a military conscription,-a measure unauthorized by the Constitution, hostile to the existence of our liberties, and one to which we dare not submit, and will never yield obedience." And, as in the old Revolutionary times, a com- mittee of safety was appointed, of which Hon. Ezra Stark- weather of this town was a member, as he was also chairman of the convention. In the resolutions above mentioned the draft principle was declared " to be utterly subversive of the rights of the people and the distinct sovereignty of the States."

Were State rights ever more clearly avowed in South Caro-

lina ? With a public sentiment thus strong and uncompro- mising against the war poliey of the administration enlistments did not occur in Worthington, and it is not known that any one from this town was in the regular army. Upon the call of Gov. Strong, however, for the defense of Boston, the following citizens of the town shared in that forty days' campaign : commissioned officers, William Ward, Wm. Rice; non-com- missioned officers and privates, Thomas Hall, Joseph Stark- weather, Nehemiah Tinker, Alfred Brown, John Cushing, Henry Warner, Timothy Parsons (still living, 1878), David Parsons, Luther Bartlett, Ezekiel Tower, Daniel Parish, James Hatch, Barnabas Anable, Perkins Fiteh, Milton Brew- ster, William Brewster, Rufus Taylor, Obadiah Tower, Elijah Burr, Richard Briggs, Joseph Daily, Harvey Metcalf.

OFFICIAL ACTION DURING THE CIVIL WAR, 1861-65.

The first formal action by the town was taken May 20, 1861, when it was voted "to authorize the selectmen to borrow such sums of money as may be necessary to assist volunteers and their families when it is wanted to any amount not exceeding $2000."

Ang. 4, 1862 .- Voted " to raise twelve hundred and fifty dollars to be paid to the teo volunteers called for from this town, being one hundred and twenty-five dollars each."

Aug. 28, 1862 .- Voted " to raise hy tax a sum sufficient to pay the nine months' volunteers one hundred dollars each."

Sept. 1, 1862 .- Voted " that the treasurer be authorized to borrow a sufficient sum to pay each of the nine months' volunteers one hundred dollars until such time as the tax money be collected."

Sept. 29, 1862 .- Voted " to authorize the treasurer to borrow one thousand dol- lars to pay one hundred and twenty dollars to each of the three years' voluo- teers."

Sept. 28, 1863 .- Voted "to pay the town's proportion of the tax apportioned and assessed to reimburse sums paid as bounties to volunteers, agreeable to the 9th Section of the 218th Chapter of the Acts of the Legislature."

Sept. 12, 1864 .- Voted " to raise one hundred and twenty-five dollars as homunty for each volunteer lo he obtained on the quota of the town under the last call of the President."

May 22, 1865 .- Voted " that the Treasurer be authorized and directed to ber- row on the credit of the town the sum of 86563 for the purpose of refnuding the several sums contributed by individuals, or sums that were obtained in any other way, which have been paid and applied for the purpose of filling the several quotas of the town of Worthington, agreeable to an act of the Legislature ap- proved April 25, 1865."

This official record gives the facts, but only partially indi- eates the enthusiasm and the patriotie spirit in the hearts of the people. Brave sons of Revolutionary sires went forth to battle and to die for the flag of their fathers. Brave mothers and sisters and wives parted from their loved ones, bidding them God-speed in their heroie work. Worthington, aecord- ing to the report made by the selectmen in 1866, furnished 86 men for the war, but Schouler's history states that the town filled all of the several quotas required, and had a surplus of nine over and above all demands, and must therefore have sent in all about 102 men. The list herewith added is given as corrected in Brewster's edition of Rice's history, and still further carefully examined at the present time, omitting sub- stitutes hired abroad.

The amount of aid, paid solely by the town, was $4462. The assessed valuation in 1860 was $430,943, and the popula- tion of the town 1041. Aid to families afterward refunded by the State, 1861, $135.36; 1862, 8932.37; 1868, $2053.01; 1864, $589.79; 1865, 8687.89 ; total, $4398.42.

Liberal private contributions were made by the ladies and by citizens generally, which during all the years of the war were sent forward by various channels of benevolence to the aid of sick and wounded soldiers.

The army-list of the town may well be prefaced with the name of GEN. JAMES C. Rick, a native of Worthington, the son of William Rice, and the author of a history of the town. A graduate of Yale College in 1854, he studied law and settled in New York City. When the war broke out he immediately entered the army. He was commissioned second lieutenant, and appointed adjutant of the 39th New York Regiment,

known as the " Garibaldi Guards." He was early promoted captain for meritorious service ; was in the battle of Bull Run in 1861 ; appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 44th New York Regiment, the " Ellsworth Regiment;" he was promoted colonel, and was actively engaged through all the seven days' battles before Richmond. In command of a brigade at Gettys- burg, he soon after received a commission as brigadier-general, for gallant and skillful conduct of the forces under him. He is said to have been in twenty battles, and was killed at Spot- sylvania, at the close of a day of desperate fighting. Well might his friend and townsman, C. K. Brewster, Esq., the

author of a revised edition of Rice's history, say of him : " New York proudly claims him among her honored dead. We, too, claim him with a just pride ; here lie buried his an- cestors ; here he was born and reared ; here is the work of his hand, telling the history of our fathers ; but his greatest work was his country's ; his death, a nation's loss ; his march was the march of a hero ; he has halted to rest and bivouacked for eternity.

"'Soldier, reet ! thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking; Dream of battle-fielda no more, Days of danger, nights of waking.'"
