Mr. Root, being of age, made an arrangement with Martin Starr, of Middlefield, and together they went to Danbury, Conn., and in six months they had earned $700. They then engaged with a Mr. Tweedy, of Danbury, to chop four hundred cords of oak and chestnut wood from the stump, and they averaged eight eords each working- day, and walked a mile and a half from their stopping-place, taking their cold Inneh for dinner along with them. This ended his work in Connecticut, as shortly afterward he returned to Middlefield. John Ferris, of Danbury, for whom Mr. Root had worked, bought his oxen, and paid him $50 bonus not to returo to Danbury te do walling. Mr. Root then worked diligently at different places, saving his hard earn- ings; and, when he was twenty-eight years old, married, Jan. 24, 1822, Sally, daughter of Daniel Pease, of Middlefield. She was then nineteen years of age.

Ilis father-in-law put Mr. Root in charge of his several farms, com- prising about eight hundred aeres, in Middlefield, and for this labor he was to receive one-half the profits. He continued here three years, raising cattle, keeping a dairy, and making a large amount of cheese and butter.

In 1825, Mr. Root purchased a portion of this land, and, with forty acres of woodland given him by Mr. Pease, he commeneed farming for himself. He bought his present home about 1846, and has resided there since. Jle paid special attention to the raising of fine stoek, receiving a premium from the Middlefield Agricultural Society for his cattle, and for a number of years, with the exception of two years, he took the premium for the superior excellence of his swine.

Mr. Root, by his industry and economy, has accumulated a com- petenec, and, although in the eighty-fourth year of his age, is still active, mentally and physically.

He has never sued any man for a debt, nor has he been sued,-some- thing few men ean say. Hle is warm-hearted, hospitable, and his motto has always been "to live and let live." In his early years he was a member of a militia company, commanded by his brother Solo- mnon. His political sentiments were first those of the Whig party, and since of the Republican.

Mrs. Root died Nov. 26, 1871. By this univa there were eleven children : Franklin 11., born Nov. 5, 1822; Solomon, born Nov. 6, 1824; Sarah A. and Mary A., born April 5, 1827 ; Lester, born Sept. 15, 1829 : Corinth, born Feb. 13, 1832; Amanda, born Sept. 15, 1834; George, born Feb. 26, 1837 ; Harriet N., born May 27, 1839 ; Judson, born April 8, 1842; Laura, born Jan. 15, 1844. Lester and Laura, wife of George Chipman, reside in Middlefield.

Mr. Root married (second), May 28, 1873, Sarah A., daughter of Alpheus Hazelton, nf Madison Co., N. Y. She was the widow of Ebenezer Smith, deecased, of Middlefield, but had been married twice, her first husband having been Jacob Hawes, and by him she had six children, all living, and by Mr. Smith four sons, three of whom are living. Mr. and Mrs. Root are both members of the Baptist Church of Middlefiold.

GOSHEN.

GEOGRAPHICAL.

GOSHEN is on the northern border of the county, northwest . from the county-seat, and distant nine miles. It is bounded north by Franklin County; east by Franklin County and Williamsburg ; south by Williamsburg and Chesterfield ; west by Chesterfield and Cummington. It comprises an area of 6951 acres, as stated in the sum-total of the farm acreage by the commissioner of the census of 1875. The title to the soil is dedueible from the direet grant of the colony of Massa- chusetts Bay. As explained in the sketch of Chesterfield, these lands were granted in the place of a barren township that had been given to soldiers who had served in the war against the Narragansett Indians. Such townships were classed as Narragansett Towns, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The portion of Goshen taken from Chesterfield direct was a part of that granted in lieu of No. 4. The rest of Goshen, or "Chester- field Gore," was a second additional grant for the same reasons.

NATURAL FEATURES.

This irregularly-shaped town is, like its neighboring towns, of very nneven surface, broken into hills, rising to mountains at some points. Moore's Hill, in the northeast, is the princi- pal elevation, 1713 feet high. The western and central por- tions of the town are drained by the tributaries of the West- field River, and these supply water-power of considerable value. In the northeast part of the town, and near the centre, there are found tributaries of the Mill River, of Williams- burg. Large reservoirs have been built for the benefit of manufacturing establishments below. The rivulets that con- tribute to Mill River, and those that flow to the Westfield, are in the northern part of the town, almost interloeked with each other, the dividing ridge separating the two river-basins being narrow and low. This feature was shown in construct- ing the upper reservoir. A dyke of considerable height had to be built to prevent the pond from escaping westward and flowing to the Connecticut through the Westfield, rather than through Mill River.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

The pioneers within the present limits of the town of Goshen were David Stearns and Abijah Tueker. They were from Dudley, as were many other of the early settlers upon the territory now constituting Goshen and Chester- field. They came here in 1761, leaving their families in Northampton. They worked together, clearing a piece of land and erecting a log house. This locality is identified by the remains of the old cellar, thirty or forty rods north of the house, belonging in later years to Eleazer Hawks, and near the old boundary-line between Chesterfield and the Gore. In the fall they brought their families and passed the winter. Stearns finally settled upon what is known as the David Beals

farm. These men, the first winter, were often absent seeking work in Northampton, and their families met the hardships of pioneer settlement alone for several days at a time. It is told of them that they had a cow and a horse that were pas- tured in the summer at the "Great Meadow ;" that in the deep snow of the following winter the cow wandered off to the same ground one day, and night came on before the absence was notieed. Then neither of the women could safely go after the cow alone, nor stay with the children alone, so one woman mounted the horse and took the five children on with her. The other woman led the horse, and so they went after the cow, two miles away and back, through the snow.

In 1762 these two families were joined by others. That spring Col. Ezra May, with ten men as hired laborers, came on and began the work of clearing what has ever since been known as the Col. May farm. He brought with him " Old Mr. Corbin" and wife to do the house-work and the cooking. This party must have eneamped not far from the present village of Gosben. The same year William White, from Charlton, bought 100 acres of land of Col. May, and two half lots of Gad Lyman, of Northampton, that being the homestead that was in possession of his son Benjamin White at the time of the latter's death, one hundred and eleven years afterward, 1873. Robert Webster, from Dudley, and Lemuel Lyon, also came in 1762.

During the next five or six years probably there came in the following additional settlers : Asa Grant, from Wren- tham; John James, Jesse Wileutt, and Zebulon Wilcutt, from Cohasset ; Reuben Dresser and Ebenezer Putney, from Charlton ; Thomas Brown and Daniel Brown, from Brook- field ; Joshua Abell, from Rehoboth ; Joseph Blake, of Brain- tree; Capt. John Bigelow, Isaac Kingman, and Joshua Packard, from Bridgewater ; Dr. Benjamin Burgess, from Tisbury; John Smith, Timothy Lyman, Ebenezer Parsons, Justin Parsons, from Northampton. Two prominent men in public affairs eame in only just before the incorporation of the town : Thomas Weeks, from Greenwich, in 1778, and Am- brose Stone, 1780. A very valuable list, comprising no doubt all the families living in Goshen in 1781, will be found under the subject of schools,-seventy-five in all.

The first person born within the limits of this town was Sally, daughter of Ezra May, in January, 1763. Samuel, son of David Stearns, the first male child, was born in Mareh following. It is said the first apple-tree was set out by the wife of Capt. Webster ; that the captain brought the sprout as a riding-stick from Northampton, and that with consider- able effort his wife succeeded in making it grow.

The tornado of Aug. 19, 1788, was exceedingly violent and destructive ; no lives seem to have been lost, but there was a universal destruction of fences ; crops were destroyed, build- ings in process of erection blown down, and others damaged.

HISTORY OF THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

Forty-six years afterward occurred another, very nearly in the track of the former; several barns were unroofed, and also the meeting-house of the Congregational Church, and much other damage was done. Mr. Cyrus Stearns and his little grandson were on the way home from Cummington when they were overtaken by the tempest. They were on the high bank of the Swift River, and with a portion of the wagon were blown over the precipice, seventy feet high. Mr. Stearns went down only part of the way, and was saved. The little boy went down into the stream, was taken out alive, but died the next day.

EARLY TAVERNS.

The tavern of Lemuel Lyon is said to have been the present house of Mr. Hunt. There was an older building perhaps ou the west side of the road, above Elijah Billings, at present marked by an old cellar, where Mr. Lyon may have lived and kept a public-house. His widow certainly lived in the house of Mr. Hunt. John Williams kept a tavern, at which the first town-meeting was held. It stood on the hill above the burying-ground, and was moved down to the present Wil- liams place sixty or seventy years ago, and is a part of the present residence. The Williams tavern closed perhaps thirty years ago. Jonah Williams, too, kept tavern where Daniel Williams now lives, two miles north on the Ashfield road. Col. Nehemiah May kept tavern in what is now the Marlon Damon House. This was an old and noted place. The "great council" that met to consider the case of Rev. Mr. Whitman was entertained there. The bill for liquors fur- nished the ministers was $27, as stated by Emmons Putney, who dealt out the article for them. He is also responsi- ble for the following story. A horse for one of the ministers was brought up and hitched by passing the doubled end of the bridle-reins through the hole and then bringing it over the post above. When the minister came out, with a step unsteady and a flushed face, his eye caught the form of that doubled hitch. Hle stopped in amazement, gazed long and earnestly at the post, at the hole through it, the bridle-reins, and the horse. Stepping around to the other side, he looked at the post, at the hole through it, at the bridle-reins, at the horse.

" Is it possible ! My horse has gone through that hole in the post ! I can't get him back. There is only one way ; " and he took out his knife and cut the bridle-rein, slung himself into the saddle, and went off.

May was succeeded by Jared Hawks, and the tavern closed a few years later. Elias White kept a tavern on the west side of the road, beyond Mr. Billings. The same building was in later years purchased by Maj. Hawks and is now a part of his barn. These are the older taverns at Goshen Cen- tre. There was also an old tavern kept by Solomon Parsons, near the present place of Deacon Barrus. On the site of Maj. Ilawks' Highland House Capt. Reuben Dresser built a tavern about 1823, and kept it for a time. He sold to D. W. Graves, who leased it to others. It was kept in subsequent years by Joseph White, Washburn & Nobles, Alfred Jones, Win. Guil- ford, Israel Thompson, Edwards Bridgman, and Lysander Gurney. The property was bought by Maj. Hawks in 1855. The buildings were burned Oet. 31, 1867, and soon after re- built as at present in use.

The first postmaster of Goshen was JJohn Williams, not far from the close of the last century. He was succeeded, in 1828, by his son Hinckley Williams. In 1854, or about that time, he was succeeded by John Godfrey for a year or two. In 1856, Maj. Hawks became postmaster, and retains the office to the present time.

EARLY STORES.

The first store in town was kept by John James and John Williams, on the well-known Capt. James place. The build- ing stood until about 1875. The next store was perhaps a

continuation of this, by John Williams, at the present place of Ilinekley Williams. Col. Nehemiah May also had a store that stood just north of the present residence of Marlon Da- mon. Hle died in 1813. He was succeeded by D .. W. Graves. A pretty early store was kept by George Salmon, 1810-15, on the hill above Elijah Billings ; same building now the place of Elias White. In later times there was a store that stood in Maj. Hawks' present garden, or just south of the hotel. This was kept by Deacon Ebenezer Town, 1830-40; later by D. W. Graves.

Then there was no store kept for some years. Maj. Hawks put in a stock of goods for a short time. Albert Crafts, of Ashfield, bought the Widow Timothy Lyman place, and opened a store in the building now occupied by John H. God- frey. Crafts sold to Knowlton, and the latter to the present proprietor. It is now the sole store in the place.

PHYSICIANS.

The earliest physician of Goshen was Dr. Isaac Robinson, of Brookfield. His home was on the Orcutt farm. Ile was here eleven years. A son, Dr. Joseph Robinson, was here for a time in 1794-95. Dr. Job Ranger was here also a short time, 1789-90. But Dr. Benjamin Burgess was the physician for a long series of years. He came from Rochester, Mass., about 1781, and his father had left him a large tract of land in Chesterfield and Goshen. He died in 1807, aged seventy. Dr. Ellis Coney came from Worcester County, and resided here only a few years, dying in 1807. Dr. Childs and Dr. B. C. Robinson were here in 1812-13. Dr. George Rogers followed for several years. Dr. Erastus Hawks practiced from 1817-24. Dr. Wm. C. Dwight, of Northampton, spent a year or two here. Dr. Fuller was here in 1820. A. W. Rockwell in 1822. Dr. George Wright for five years, 1826- 31. J. W. Rockwell, 1833-34. Dr. Daniel Pierce, from Worthington, practiced from 1836 until near his death, which occurred in 1857. No physician has settled here regularly since. Goshen is too healthy a town to support a physician steadily.
