Upon the tombstone of Lydia Harwood is the following :

" Lydia Harwood: her first husband, Asahel Stebbins, was killed and she taken prisoner by Indians, Aug. 27, 1757, at No. 4, aml carried to Canada. Saved from torture at the stake by her heroism and faith, she returned from captivity, and in 1759 married Capt. Samnel Merriman. She died his widow, 1808, aged seventy-six. To keep her memory green this stone is erected by her great- grandchildren, Clesson Merriman and Ella Merriman Barber, A.D. 1874."

Upon the tombstone of Timothy Swan is inscribed :

" Sacred to the memory of Timothy Swan, who died July 23, 1542, agod eighty- four. lle was the author of China, Poland, and other pieces of sacred music. 'I was dumb, because thou di Ist it.""

Upon that of Rev. John Hubbard, second minister of the town, who died 1794, appears this :

" A man he was to all his people dear ; And passing rich with eighty pounds a year. Remote from towns he ran his godly race, Nor ever changed, or wished to change, his place. In duty faithful, prompt at every call, He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all ; Hle try'd each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to lighter worlds, aud led the way."

The stone over the grave of Rev. Benjamin Doolittle, first minister of Northfield, who died 1748, bears the following epitaph :

" Blessed with good intellectual parts, Well skilled in two important arts, Nubly he filled the double station, Both of a muencher and physician. To cure men's sicknesses and sins He took unwearied care and pains, And strove to make his patients whole As well in body as in soul. Ile loved his God, loved to do good, To all bis friends vast kindness showed ; Nor could his enemies exclaim And say he was not kind to them.

His labors met a sudden close; Now he enjoys a sweet ropuse; And when the just to life shall rise, Among the first he'll mount the skies."

SOCIETIES, ORDERS, ETC.

HARMONY LODGE, F. AND A. M.,

at Northfield village, is one of the oldest lodges in Western Massachusetts. It was organized in 1796, and has retained its active organization uninterruptedly ever since. Its member- ship in March, 1879, was 60, and its officers as follows :

H. J. Evans, W. M. ; George N. Richards, S. W. ; Sumner Titus, J. W. ; George F. Alexander, Sce. ; Cleston Merriman, Treas. ; E. L. Holton, S. D .; II. G. Stockwell, J. D .; E. W. Colton, Chaplain ; William Merriam, Marshal; Walter Field, Tiler ; E. J. Bacon, I. S .; Clinton Ware and F. Holton, Stewards.

A YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

was organized at Northfield village in 1875, in connection with the Second Congregational Church. The society num- bers now (1879) 30 members.

The village has also a musical organization known as the Stratton Brass Band, so named in honor of Albert S. Stratton, from whom it received early support.

PUBLIC BEQUESTS.

In addition to funds bequeathed by Mr. Pomeroy and others to the Unitarian Church, other public bequests were made as follows :

In 1877, Elisha Alexander gave to the town $1000 as a per- manent fund, whose income should be devoted to the support of needy widows and other worthy poor.

Elisha Stratton donated to the district school at Northfield Farms a fund of $400, and Otis Everett gave $100 to the Uni- tarian society in 1840, to found a parish library. From that small beginning the library has risen to a wide field of use- fulness, and contains now 1500 volumes.

INDUSTRIES.

Northfield is a rich agricultural town, and the energies of its people are devoted almost entirely to the cultivation of the soil. According to the State reports of 1875, the value of ag- ricultural and domestic products in the town for that year was $267,021, that of manufactures but $59,855, and the number of farms 269.

Ten years ago tobacco-growing upon the river bottom- lands, which extend north and south through the town, was pursued to a great extent, and previous to that time it was a highly profitable industry, but it has latterly much declined, and during 1878 but about 100 acres of tobacco were grown, or less than one-fourth of the amount planted in 1868.

Corn and broom-eorn are extensively cultivated, while the yield of agricultural products generally is considerable, and the condition of the people accordingly a comfortable and pros- perous one. There is at Northfield village the manufactory of A. W. Ross, who makes horse-hoes and cultivators, and this is, except a few saw-mills, the only manufacturing interest in the town. Walker & Sanderson, at Northfield village, make extensive purchases of the tobacco-leaf in this and adjoining towns, and have prepared it for other markets.

The total valuation of the town in 1878 was $667,085, of which $586,513 was on real estate. The total tax, State, town, and county, $8124.44, or at the rate of $1.22 per $100. The total indebtedness of the town in February, 1878, was $141.53.

NEW SALEM.

GEOGRAPHICAL.

NEW SALEM occupies a mountainous region, covering an area of 15,000 acres, and forming the extreme southeast corner of Franklin County. It has Orange on the north, Hampshire County on the south, Worcester County on the east, and the towns of Shutesbury and Wendell on the west. Part of its eastern boundary-linc describes a sharp angle, and across this angle passes the Athol and Springfield Railroad. The original tract of the town was increased some years ago by the addition of a portion of Shutesbury, but in 1820 was decreased by the elimination of a tract at the south end (which became a part of Prescott), and in 1837 suffered a further contraction by the setting off to Orange and Athol of a tract from the north end. The present territory equals about twenty-three square miles.

NATURAL FEATURES.

The surface of the town may be aptly characterized as wildly rugged, while the scenic displays which Nature has lavishly scattered here are beautifully impressive. The highest eleva- tion in the town is Packard's Mountain in the southwest, said to be 1273 feet above the sea-level. Other prominent eminences are Fisk and Harris Hills in the north, and Rattlesnake and Pitman Hills in the centre. The streams are,-a branch of

Miller's River in the west; the middle branch of Swift River, flowing through the centre; Hop Brook, Moose-horn Brook, and other small streams.

There are numerous ponds,-as the Reservoir in the north- east, covering 320 acres ; Spectacle Pond, of 90 acres, in the east ; Hacker's Pond, south of Spectacle Pond ; Thomson's Pond of 265 acres in the southeast; and Hop-brook Pond. A soapstone-bed exists on Rattlesnake Hill, but it has never been worked. The climate of the town is remarkably salubrious and healthy .

EARLY SETTLEMENT.

Dec. 31, 1734, the General Court issued to 60 persons, resi- dent in the town of Salem (now the city of Salem, Essex Co., Mass.), a grant for a township equal to six miles square, and further issued an additional grant of 4000 acres. In Angust, 1735, the proprietors effected an organization and located the township upon the territory now occupied by the town of New Salem. The tract was laid out in an oblong form, and ex- tended north and south about ten miles. The additional grant above noted was annexed to the northern end of the new town, which thus became abont thirteen miles in length. The town was subsequently widened by the addition to the west side of a portion of Shutesbury; in 1820 shortened at the

south end by the setting off therefrom of a tract to Prescott ; and further shortened in 1837 at the north end, when a tract was taken off and apportioned to Athol and Orange. Each of the tracts thus set off was three miles in length, and the length of the town was reduced to about seven miles, and made of a size and shape more convenient than before, since the dis- tances from the original extremities to the centre entailed no little trouble to the remote residents when called to transact town business.

Of the incidents attendant upon the early settlement of New Salem there is seareely any chronicle except as may be gathered from uncertain traditions, which, flowing through a lapse of nearly one hundred and fifty years, become obscure.

New Salem was founded in 1735, and received its first settler in 1737. Its history at that time and for some years after was somewhat meagre of eventful interest, save in such details as attached themselves to early settlements in general.

Were the records of the first proprietors of New Salem ob- tainable, a clear and comprehensive history of the town's early settlement could be gleaned from their pages.

But the records of the New Salem proprietors, as well as the town records, dating as late as 1855, were destroyed in a fire at New Salem Centre in 1856, and thus the only docu- mentary evidence of how the settlement rose from obscurity, and of the names of those who were closely identified with its earliest history, has been utterly lost.

Although the proprietors obtained their grant in 1734, and located it in 1735, they secured no settlement until the year 1737. It was no easy matter to induce settlers to locate in a vast wilderness, where no man save the Indian had ever placed his foot, and where, too, the savages still held sway, and were likely to dispute in a fierce manner the entrance of the white man. The proprietors made many unsuccessful attempts to persuade settlers to locate upon the grant, but, as before noted, they waited two years before receiving any encouragement in that direction. They even offered a premium to the one who would make the first settlement, believing that if some stout heart could be led to make the advance, others would not be slow to follow. After a patient waiting until they began to despair, they eventually obtained the pledge of Jeremiah Meacham to make the first settlement, conditioned upon a present of £10 for so doing. Meacham led the way in 1737, and settled upon the farm now occupied by Ezra Hatstat, about one mile north of the centre. . Ile lost no time in en- tering upon the arduous task of clearing his land, having first hastily erected a rude log cabin, which, in view of the more pressing necessities of preparing the land for cultivation, long awaited more than such bare appointments as sufficed for actual shelter.

This hardy pioneer was not without serious fears touching probable assaults from Indians, who, although at no time numerous in that region, were nevertheless to be dreaded, and especially so since the prospect of a settlement of the tract was likely to afford them the occasion for making that locality a more favored place for visitation than it had before been.

Still, Meacham kept steadily to his purpose, always on the alert for approaching danger, and hopeful that other settlers would speedily follow in his train, and render mutual protec- tion against the foe that made the life of the pioneer one of constant watching and peril, as well as careful anxiety.

In accordance with expectation, Meacham's settlement was quickly followed by others. Amos Foster settled upon the western part of the grant, and Benjamin Stacy, who came in about the same time, upon a place about two and a half miles south of the centre, where D. V. Putnam now lives. Samuel King took up a farm about three miles from the centre, near the present village of Cooleyville, and with him came Samuel Pierce, who settled in the north. Daniel Shaw located two miles south of the centre, and two miles southeast of the latter place a Mr. Cary made a settlement about the same time.

Amos Putnam, James Cook, and Jeremiah Ballard were like- wise settlers contemporaneous with Meacham ; Ballard select- ing a home about a quarter of a mile north of the present village of New Salem Centre.

Thereafter settlers multiplied rapidly, and the proprietors were rejoiced to see how prosperity appeared to attend a ven- ture which, long after its inception, seemed to promise any- thing but fortune. Here and there the wilderness began to show garden spots, where the toiling forefathers had, by the strength of right arms and the earnestness of heroic purpose, felled the giants of the forests, and caused the green earth to smile with glowing promises of bountiful harvests.

Still, the fear of Indians and stories of their depredations near at hand caused much painful uneasiness and apprehen- sion that there was trouble in store. To provide against such emergencies, and to afford places of general protection, two forts were built, and, in addition thereto, the meeting-house was so fortified that it could be used as an ark of temporal safety, while the cabins of many, if not all, of the settlers were provided in some way for repelling sudden savage at- tacks in case there was not time to reach the forts.

Eternal vigilance was the watchword in the infant settle- ment ; and while the farmer tilled the soil or pursued kindred occupations, he watched continually for unseen danger, and was prepared to meet it manfully. Thus, when the people attended divine worship they went armed, for no man could tell when the foe would appear ; and so, amid watching and working, the community grew apace and thrived.

Fortunately, the precautions taken by the inhabitants against the savages, in resorting to the forts at nightfall, or whenever reports of trouble filled the air, enabled them to pass through the trying ordeal of early experiences in back- woods life without being seriously endangered or coming to harm. Many of the settlers went from time to time into the government service against the Indians in other parts of the State and did valiant work, in which not a few were called upon to make severe sacrifices, but New Salem itself' escaped the horrors of Indian warfare.

The nearest approach to an Indian depredation occurred one night when nearly all the male inhabitants of the settle- ment were out on a scouting expedition. Before departing they saw that the women, children, and aged men were securely housed in one of the forts, and that the fort was care- fully guarded against attack. It seems, however, that a band of savages were hovering near, in hiding, and upon observing the departure of the men they emerged from their retreat shortly after, and approached the fort, thinking that, as it was guarded only by women, it would fall with them an easy capture. The women were, however, not made of ordi- nary material, for they were pioneers' wives, who had learned important lessons in the school of self-preservation, and, knowing how desperate emergencies required desperate reme- dies, knew also full well how to apply the remedies.

One brave Amazon, who undertook the leadership, so dis- guised her voice, and issued orders in a loud tone to an imagin- ary band of men, that the savages, upon their approach to the fort, were mystified, and began to think that they must have been in error in believing the fort defenseless, since the orders they heard and the preparations evidently going forward for de- fense seemed to betoken the presence in the fort of many stal- wart defenders. They were ready, in their cowardly, savage nature, to make war upon weak women, but armed men were foes whom they liked not; and while they were gravely dis- cussing the unforeseen turn in affairs, a few rapid gunshots from the fort in their direction decided them, without further argument, upon precipitate flight. The coolness and bravery exhibited by the women under such trying circumstances won them a bloodless victory, and the recital now serves a useful and interesting purpose in showing, not only what the women of those days had to contend with, but how they rose to the

Charles Chandler

CHARLES CHANDLER, son of Aaron and Mary Chandler, was born in Shutesbury, Franklin Co., Mass., on the 17th of December, 1828. His father was born in Petersham, Mass., on the 28th of Janu- ary, 1797. He was a farmer by occupation, and took an active interest in the religious and educational interests of the community in which he lived. In the autumn of 1850 lie removed to Wendell, and during his residence in that town held various public offices ; among others those of selectman and assessor. He died in New Salem, on the 15th of October, 1867. His wife was a daughter of Luther Clark, of Leverett, Mass., born in that town on the 18th of March, 1795.

She was married to Mr. Chandler on the 11th of February, 1823. To them were born five chil- dren, of whom only two are now living, viz .: Mary, the wife of Samnel H. Stowell, and Charles, the subject of this sketch. The latter remained in the paternal home, working during a part of each year for his father on the farm, until the latter re- moved to Wendell.

Charles then united with him in farming, and

also engaged in the lumbering business upon his own account, which he carried on successfully for several years. On the 27th of January, 1859, he married Abbie S., daughter of Luther Wyman, of Woburn, Mass. In 1862, Mr: Chandler removed to New Salem and located on West Street, on what was known as the "old Porter farm." He remained there seven years, when, purchasing his present property, he removed to New Salem Hill, where he has since resided. He has taken a prominent part in local public, religious, and educational interests ; has held the offices of town-clerk and treasurer three years, and contributed largely to the building of the new church edifice and parsonage in Lock's village. As a citizen he is public-spirited and enterprising, and as a man he is respected by all for his many sterling qualities. His mother, Mrs. Mary Chand- ler, resides with him, at the advanced age of eighty- four years.

Mr. and Mrs. Chandler have two children, both born in New Salem. They are Mary S., born Aug. 24, 1865, and Abbie Belle, born on the 18tli of February, 1867.

The Hunt family is of English origin, and has been repre- sented in this country for many years. William Hunt, anees- tor of Horace HIunt, was one of three brothers who early eame to this country and settled, one at Coneord, Mass., one at Northampton, Mass., and one at Brattleboro', Vt.

William settled at Concord, and at one time was the owner of one-half of the territory now occupied by that town, which he purchased directly of the Indians.

Samuel Hunt, his grandfather, lived at various places, and for twenty years of his life kept a publie-house at Fitchburg, Mass., and served as a captain in the French-and-Indian war.

David Hunt, the father of Horaee, was born in Worcester, Mass , in 1766 or 1767. In his youth be went to New Salem, Mass., of which he was one of the first settlers. He passed a long and active life in that town, and died in 1850, at the ad- vaneed age of eighty-three. He married Abigail, daughter of Shadrach Haskins, one of the earliest settlers of New Salem, and had a number of children, of whom but four reached maturity. Samuel H., the eldest of these, is now living at Athol, Mass., and is ninety years of age. Luther passed his life on the old farm in New Salem, and died in 1849, at the age of fifty-six. Lorana married Levi Davis, of New Salem, and now resides at Holly, New York, aged eighty-four.

Horace Hunt was born in New Salem, Jan. 15, 1801. He passed his early life in hard work on the paternal farm, enjoy- ing limited educational advantages. At the age of seventeen he commenced school-teaching in New Salem, having prepared himself for that calling by elose application, rigid self-disei- pline, and arduous labor. This oceupation he followed in win- ter seasons at New Salem and Enfield, Mass., and Casenovia, N. Y., filling up the balance of the time at work on the farm ..

In 1825, Mr. Hunt commenced keeping a general country store at Millington, a small village in the town of New Salem. Hecontinued there about fourteen years, and then removed to North Preseott, Mass .; established a store about a mile west of

the village of North Prescott, which he kept for upward of thirty years. During that time Mr. Hunt had the North Prescott post-office established, and was the first postmaster there,-a statement that is equally true of the post-office at Millington. Mr. Hunt was postmaster at both places for a period, in all, of twenty years.

In 1869, Mr. Hunt transferred his mereantile business to Enfield, Mass., where he engaged in store-keeping until May 15, 1878, when he disposed of it, and is now living in retire- ment at Enfield, having attained the ripe age of seventy-eight.

In the course of his life Mr. Hunt has filled varions offices of trust and responsibility. In 1827 he was appointed a jus- tice of the peace,-an office that he has held continuously sinee. He has also filled most of the town offices of New Salem and Preseott, and was a commissioner of Franklin County from 1863 to 1869, inclusive.

In his ehureh affiliations he is a Baptist, a member of the church of that denomination at Athol, Mass., and was for many years a member of the New Salem and Preseott Baptist Church. He bas been married four times. His first wife, Su- sannah M. Fish, of New Salem, he married April 4, 1822, and she died Nov. 25, 1825. His second was Roxana Chamberlin, of New Salem, whom he married Ang. 27, 1829, and who died June 13, 1837. His third was Naomi Haskins, of Prescott, whom he married May 22, 1839, and who died Jan. 17, 1845. His present wife was Mrs. Sarah E. Freeman, widow of Dr. Na- thaniel Freeman, of New Salem, and daughter of James Hem- enway, of the same place.
