BANKING.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICOPEE

began its existence as the "Cabot Bank," which was char- tered Jan. 24, 1845, with a capital of $150,000. The first meeting of stockholders was held March Ist, at which the di- rectors chosen were John Chase, Timothy W. Carter, Jerome Wells, Robert E. Bemis, Nathan P. Ames, John Wells, and Ilomer Foot. The first meeting of the directors was held on the same day, when John Chase was chosen as president. March 8th, Gilbert Walker was appointed cashier. The bank went into operation May 21st, the same year. Mr. Chase continued as president until Oct. 6, 1849, when he resigned, and John Wells was elected to the vacancy. Jerome Wells succeeded to the position Oct. 9, 1854, and has continued to the present time, a period of more than twenty-four years. James L. Warriner succeeded to the cashiership Oct. 10, 1849, and resigned March 9, 1853. Then followed H. 1I. Harris, until May 9, 1869; E. M. Doten, until Oct. 1, 1871, when F. B. Doten, the present cashier, took charge. Present directors, Timothy W. Carter, Edwin O. Carter, Erastus Stebbins, Lewis M. Ferry, Arthur F. Gaylord, Emerson Gaylord, Jerome Wells. This bank has now (1878) a surplus of $75,000, the capital remaining unchanged.

THE CHICOPEE SAVINGS-BANK

was organized in 1854. Jerome Wells was the first presi- dent, and continued until 1874, when George D. Robinson assumed the position, and remained until 1878. He was suc- ceeded by Emerson Gaylord, the present president. Ilenry Il. Harris, the present treasurer, has held that office from the. date of organization.

Deposits at date of last report $410,195.43

Guarantee fund and net profits .. 11,628.64

Total assets. $430,824.07

Four-fifths of the loans are on real estate. The number of depositors is nearly or quite 1200.

THE CHICOPEE FALLS SAVINGS-BANK

was chartered March 20, 1875, with 41 incorporators. The first officers were Josiah W. Osgood, President; George S. Taylor, Thomas C. Page, William J. Sawin, Vice-Presidents ; James E. Taylor, Amos W. Page, Norris R. Wood, Edwin O. Carter, Michael Dunn, Jonathan R. Whittemore, Andrew P. Chapin, George M. Morton, William P. MeFarland, John R. Wilbur, George W. Bray, Eucher Trembly, Samuel Blais- dell, Jr., George Rumrill, Michael Houlihan, Trustees; Ed- gar T. Paige, Secretary ; Andrew P. Chapin, Treasurer. De- posits, $31,016.60; surplus, $127.47; number of depositors, 201. Investments, one-half real estate, balance bank stock and personal loans. Present officers: Josiah W. Osgood, President ; George S. Taylor, Thomas C. Page, William P. McFarland, Vice-Presidents ; Edgar T. Paige, Clerk and Treasurer.

GAS-WORKS.

In 1849 the subject of lighting the mills was introduced, and resulted in the organization of a gas company at Chico- pee Centre, in which the four large manufacturing companies -Ames, Cabot, Perkins, and Dwight-united. Gas-works were erected in 1850, with a capacity sufficient to supply the mills and meet the ordinary wants of the village, and in- eluded a retort-house for fifteen retorts, a purifying-house, and a gas-holder 60 feet in diameter and 20 feet in height. " Main" to the amount of 4000 feet was laid, and gas intro- duced in the mills early in May the same year. Since then the pipes have been extended through the principal streets and the village supplied with gas.

The capital is $30,000, at present owned by the Dwight Manufacturing Company. There are 52 public lamps. The officers are J. W. Cumnock, Agent; Nelson Whittier, Treas- urer ; David Boynton, Superintendent.

WATER-WORKS.

In 1845, Charles W. McClallan and R. E. Bemis constructed the first works for supplying water through pipes to the vil- lage of Chicopee,-then Cabotville. For this purpose water was taken from springs and wells at the higher elevation just south of the village. These works answered a temporary purpose, and in 1874, after the death of Mr. Bemis, became by purchase wholly the property of Mr. MeClallan. In 1876 arrangements were made for a more satisfactory supply from certain spring-fed brooks, beyond the east line of Chicopee, in Springfield, and there a dam was accordingly erected. The following year a company was incorporated with a capital limited to $75,000. The interests of Mr. McClallan were pur- chased by this company, he remaining a stockholder. The incorporators were Charles McClallan, Emerson Gaylord, George A. Denison, C. II. Hyde, Erastus Stebbins, and Wil- liam C. McClallan. The company was organized as the "Chicopee Water Company," April 18, 1877, with $50,000 capital. The mains have been extended, and are chiefly of iron, cement-lined, though some are of iron only. The sup- ply of water is large, and is furnished to the corporations and private dwellings, and also to the fire district.

The works have about eighty feet head. Officers : Charles MeClallan, President ; William C. McClallan, Treasurer.

RAILROADS.

. The Connecticut River Railroad has a station at Chicopee Junction, from which point a branch road leads up the south side of the Chicopee River to Chicopee Falls. The main line was opened for travel Dec. 13, 1845,-the branch in August, 1846. The former passes just west of the village of Chicopee (centre), crossing the river of that name near its mouth, and the Connecticut at the village of Willimansett.

BRIDGES.

The first bridge across the Chicopee River, at Chicopee, was built in or about the year 1778, and crossed near where the present bridge stands. Its piers were of plank and filled with stone. This bridge was in part paid for by a lottery sanctioned by law.

The bridge crossing the Connecticut at Chicopee Junction was erected as a toll-bridge by the Chicopee and West Spring- field Bridge Company, in 1848-49. It was some time since made free to the public, and is now maintained by the town. A portion of the purchase-price was assessed upon other towns, in proportion as they were benefited.

Length, between abntments, 1237 feet. The piers, 6 in number, are of sandstone.

EARLY AND PROMINENT RESIDENTS.

Bildad B. Belcher, son of Benjamin, has lived nearly all his days at Chicopee Falls, where his father so early settled. The region was almost an unbroken wilderness, with only an occasional dwelling, and those not within neighborly distance of one another, when his father made the purchase from Ste- phen Wright and Levi Hitchcock, who then owned nearly all the land at that place. So undisturbed had been the order of nature in the solemn aisles of the wildwood that the shy wild turkey, in considerable numbers, frequented their deeper recesses, and the gamy salmon abounded in the river.

In early deeds the place was called Skenungonuck, and in modern days has often been confounded with Skipmuck, which is one and a half miles farther east.

Mr. Belcher says that bis father moved into the house that Wright had occupied, and there lived from 1802 until 1815.

HISTORY OF HAMPDEN COUNTY.

The house had no partitions, no plastered walls, but possessed a loose and airy floor. In this primitive residence he ( Bildad) was born in 1812. In 1815 his father built a new house on that ground, and lived therein until his death, in December, 1833. Amos W. Page now owns this property.

Mr. Hitchcock's dwelling occupied nearly the same ground now covered by the residence of Jonathan R. Whittemorc. The latter was built by Bildad B. Belcher, and stands near the corner of Springfield and Belcher Streets, and opposite the Methodist Church.

Mr. Belcher has not only been identified with the growth of the manufacturing interests of the town, but has been and still is active in matters civil and educational. He is the oldest of the early residents now living, and a patriarch among the teachers of the present century who have served within the limits of Chicopee.

John Chase was born in Litchfield, N. H., Aug. 19, 1788 ; died May 11, 1866. He was the seventh remove in descent from Aquilla Chase, who emigrated from Cornwall, Eng- land, before the year 1640. Ile remained in Litchfield until ten years of age, when his parents removed to Dunbarton, N. H., where he resided until 1812. He then removed to Pem- broke, and labored as a mechanic at $1 per day. In 1813 he went to Meredith Bridge, and remained seven years, mean- time, March 20, 1815, marrying Nancy Stark, daughter of Gen. John Stark, of Revolutionary fame. Sept. 20, 1820, he removed to Dover Upper Factories, and in December, 1821, began work at Dover Landing, and there remained, superin- tending the machine-shops, until June, 1829. On his forty- second birthday he began his labors at what is now called Chicopee Falls, and remained there until Dec. 4, 1832, when he moved to " Cabotville," now Chicopee. From this date his career as a mechanic and builder is traced in the history of the manufactures of Chicopee. When he assumed the agency of the Springfield Canal Company the ground now occupied by the village, with its immense factories and numer- ous dwellings, was covered with bushes, and much of it on the lower level was of a swampy character. There were then but three or four dwellings in the neighborhood. Besides the mills, he was the builder of many other buildings, private and public, that grace the village and mark its thrift.

Mr. Chase possessed unusual bodily vigor, even in old age, and in the last fourteen years of his life traveled nearly 70,000 miles. In business he was exact and methodical, and in social life genial and generous. He amassed a large prop- erty, and gave freely to worthy objects. A fitting monument in " Maple Grove Cemetery," erected by his widow, marks his place of burial.

Among other prominent residents are many whose complete biographies would reveal intimate association with enterprises tending to the advancement of the town in all its material, social, and educational interests. Of these are John Wells, the first (and for a long time) president of the Cabot Bank, who was thrice elected to the General Court of the State, and held the positions of judge of Probate and judge of the Supreme Court. He was a devoted friend of the town, and intimately connected with its institutions. Ile removed to Boston, near which city he died. His portrait, in oil, appropriately graces the walls of the town library.

Jerome Wells, who was representative in 1869, and is now president of the First National Bank, formerly the Cabot Bank.

Silas Mosman, who came in the spring of 1834, was repre- sentative from Springfield when Chicopee town was erected, and labored effectively in that behalf; is a superior worker in bronze, the Crawford bronze door in the cast portico of the Senate extension of the Capitol, and other prominent works throughout the country, testifying to his skill. He has held many positions of responsibility in the town, and is now se- lectman. Sylvanus Adams, for more than twenty-five years

agent of the Dwight mills, and selectman in 1848-49, was es- pecially active in local affairs, and, as a man and citizen, is held in honorable remembrance. None of his family remain in Chicopee.

Nathan P. Ames, who came to Chicopee Falls in 1829, and established tool-works, the history of which is elsewhere given, and which in their extension and improvement have vastly benefitted the town, and become famous for their excellent products. His sons, Nathan I'., Jr., and James T., have ever been closely connected with the business he thus founded, which under their management has made its greatest develop- ment. Nathan P., Jr., died in April, 1847. Timothy W. Carter, of Chicopee Falls, a man of culture and rare social and business qualities, has made enduring impress of his per- sonality in all his varied connections with local affairs. He was instrumental in securing for Chicopee Falls the erection of the high-school building, on Church Street, elsewhere noticed. He is now treasurer of the Massachusetts Arms Company, and for twelve years, until 1836, was agent of the Chicopee Manufacturing Company.

Eli B. Clark, so long the pastor of the ancient church in Chicopee Street, has served twelve years upon the school committee with industry and efficiency, and, though now re- tired from the pastorate of his church, is zealous in all that pertains to the moral and material growth of the town.

Rufus Whittier, who died suddenly, April 7, 1852, for ten years previous had been the agent of the Perkins mills, was a man of prominence. He was at one time an officer of the Hampden County Agricultural Society, and at his death was treasurer of the " Cabot Institute."

Of the numerous Chapin family, three have represented the town in the General Court,-Giles S., Moses W., and Edward M. ; and seven have been chosen as selectmen,-Orange, Giles S., Austin, Titus, Caleb S., Sidney, and Lucas B. Moses W. was town clerk one year, 1856-57.

Robert E. Bemis, first agent of the original " Cabot" mill, in 1834, was an enterprising and useful citizen. Ifis son, Robert W., resides in Chicopee. William L. Bemis was town clerk and treasurer from the erection of the town until April, 1854. His memoranda of the town's carly history, as entered in the first book of records, 1848, evince much labor, and have furnished many valuable facts for this history.

Lester Dickinson, since 1857 and now town clerk and treasurer, came to Chicopee Falls in 1830-31, and has wit- nessed the growth of the villages from their former rusticity and crudeness to their present civic dignity and fair propor- tions. Little is the business of the town during the last twenty-one years that has not passed under his official eye. For one to be, to marry, to die within the town, through all these years, was to be thrice the subject of his ready pen.

Isaac Bullens came to the town as early as 1833, bringing his family and worldly possessions in a wagon over the rude highways of that period. His first work was to start the ma- chinery in the shop of the Springfield Canal Company. He afterward, 1838, started a grocery-store, and was therefore one of the earliest merchants in Chicopee. The business grew to prominence and was the foundation of a large estate. Mr. Bullens died Sept. 1, 1874. Madison Kendall began his labors at Chicopee Falls, in the works of Nathan P. Ames, in 1829. Since that time-except an interval of fourteen years, in which he was proprietor of the Cabot House-he has been en- gaged with Mr. Ames and the Ames Manufacturing Company as a cutler, and is even now, at an advanced age, one of the most expert temperers in the country. He recalls his first trip to " Cabotville," which was made by a path along the river Chicopee. There were then but four or five dwellings in the place, and little clearing had been done in the surrounding woods. James M. Smith, surveyor ; Wallace Johnson, drug- gist, and several years postmaster ; Benning Leavitt, Emer- son Gaylord.

HISTORY OF THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

MILITARY.

A VETERAN OF THE REVOLUTION.

Renben Burt, of Chicopee, a soldier of the Revolution, died on the 8th day of August, 1860, at the age of ninety-eight years and ten months. He was buried with military honors, at Chicopee Falls, a detachment of the Springfield City Guards, under the command of Lieut. G. A. Fuller, acting as escort and guard of honor on the occasion. Torrent Engine Com- pany of that village, with colors craped, joined the large pro- cession of citizens called ont by the rare event. An appro- priate address was delivered by Rev. R. K. Bellamy. Gen. Nettleton had charge of the procession.

Mr. Burt was born in Brookfield, Mass., and first joined the patriot hosts in 1777, when he was assigned to garrison duty at Fort Ticonderoga, then containing 3000 troops, and was present at the time of Burgoyne's attack, July 5th of that year. After the retreat to Whitehall and Southern Ver- mont, his term of enlistment having expired, he returned home. The following year he was drafted for six months' ser- vice, and was present at the attack on Newport, then occu- pied by the British. This effort failed, with considerable loss to the Americans, from D'Estaing's inability to co-operate, his fleet having been scattered. Again the veteran's term expired and he went home, but soon enlisted for three years as a " Reg-

ular," and for the most of that period was stationed on the lines at and below West Point, on the Hudson. He was in many small and some serious engagements, and bore to his grave many honorable scars from " sword, bayonet, and ball," and a portion of British lead. The most notable event of his ser- vice was when a party of nineteen, of which he was one, were set upon hy a superior force, and all but three slain before re- lief was afforded. The sixteen dead braves were buried " on the spot, in one grave."

The writer of this history of Chicopee is indebted to many residents of the town for valuable assistance. Among these are Mr. Lester Dickinson, town clerk, who has accorded every facility for the examination of records, and cheerfully borne much catechising; Mr. George V. Wheelock, librarian, for ready access to books and documents in the town library, and for other favors ; to Mr. Bildad B. Belcher, Mr. Sumner Van- horn, Ilon. George S. Taylor, Ilon. Silas Mosman, Hon. Ed- win O. Carter, Mr. Timothy W. Carter, Mr. Wallace W. Johnson, and others, for important papers, facts, and sugges- tions.
