It will be seen, from what has been written, that the first branch of business established here, aside from farming, was the manufacture of iron from the ore. For many years it furnished employment to a large number of men and boys; the making of nails being a very prominent feature of the business. At first, these were all hammered separately by hand ; but this was a slow and expensive process, and therefore led to the invention of the " slitting " and " cutting mills," as they were called. The slitting-mills were used to slit the iron, that had been rolled down to a proper thick- ness, into strips, of the width needed for the length of the nails; and the cutting-mills cut these strips into nails, which, for a long time, were headed by hand. Some forty or fifty years ago, the business of cutting and heading nails was carried on here quite extensively : but,

AND STATISTICS OF INDUSTRY.
since nails have been headed by machinery, the busi- ness has passed away from Norton ; and two or three solitary blacksmiths' shops, for shoeing horses, oxen, &c., are all that remain of the numerous nail-shops, cutting-mills, &c., of former generations.
In the early history of our country, the mothers and daughters carded and spun by hand; and also wove into cloth the wool, flax, and hemp raised in those days. When woven, the woollen cloth was carried to the fulling-mill to be dressed and colored, and thus prepared for use. Many families, however, did their own coloring, especially of the yarn and the linen cloth. It was not till within the present century that machines for carding wool were introduced into town. They produced a great revolution in the labor of females.
The braiding of straw, and the manufacture of bon- nets and hats therefrom, have, in some measure, fur- nished a substitute for the hand-cards. Betsey Make- peace, sister of David Makepeace, was the first who braided straw in Norton. She had learned to do so while on a visit to Wrentham. This was more than fifty years ago. At first, the straw was braided whole ; but, shortly, a gauge, made of needles, was devised, by which the straw was split by hand. For some time, individuals raised their own straw, and cut it up at the proper season, and prepared it for use. At length, a division of labor took place : a part braided, and others sewed the braid into bonnets and hats. From the commencement of the straw-business here about 1802, to the present day, it has furnished quite a lucrative employment to a large number of females. Ansel Keith and Jonathan Smith were among the first to com- mence the business somewhat after the fashion of the present day. They bought the straw, and put it out to be braided and sewed. This was about 1808. George Gilbert commenced the manufacture of bonnets, &c., about the same time. Soon after, Thomas Danforth, 2d, entered into the business, and carried it on quite extensively. Hiram H. Wetherell, either alone, or

with his brother Horace B., carried on the business from 1833 to 1844. Sept. 3, 1850, the Norton Straw Manufacturing Company, consisting of the Whea- ton Manufacturing Company, L. M. Wheaton, Zeno Kelly, L. D. Anthony, and A. Barrows, was organized, with a capital of seven thousand dollars, and made bonnets, hats, &c. Jan. 14, 1854, the company was dissolved, and the Norton Straw Company was formed, consisting of L. M. Wheaton, Zeno Kelly, and T. T. Rockwood, with a capital of fourteen thousand dollars. Nov. 12, 1855, another change took place. T. T. Rockwood, A. Dunham, and D. S. Hardon, assumed the business, under the name of the " Norton Manufacturing Company." Oct. 6, 1856, Dunham and Hardon retired from the firm, and C. M. Dean became a member; and, in the spring of 1857, the company stopped business, and no one has taken their place. Many of the females in town, however, sew for firms in neighboring towns.
By the erection of cotton-mills for making cloth, &c., in 1810 and 1811, a new impetus was given to the enterprise and industry of the town. When these mills went into operation, the cotton-bales were sent round to different families in town, and the cotton was whipped by men and women. This was done to pre- pare it for use, instead of picking it by a machine, as is now done. No weaving was done in the mill near Eddy Lincoln's for some years after its erection. The yarn made was put out, in this and other towns, to be woven by hand-looms.
The first tannery in town is supposed to have been between the schoolhouse in District No. 3 and Burt's Brook ; and was perhaps built soon after the incorpo- ration of the town, by John Andrews, who settled thereabouts. But the first tannery of which we have any authentic account was built about 1740, by Deacon Benjamin Copeland, between the house of Thomas Copeland and Mulberry-Meadow Brook. It continued in the Copeland family till it went to decay, about 1845. About 1758, David Arnold, who learned his trade of Deacon Copeland, set up a tannery on Burt's

Brook, near where his son, Lemuel Arnold, now lives, and did a large amount of business for many years. Before the Revolution, a tannery was built near Rum- ford River, at the place where Mason Freeman lives, by a Mr. Basset. It was afterwards owned by George Walker, and fell into disuse some thirty years since.
The shoe-business has never been carried on to any great extent in town. Of late years, quite a number of persons have taken boots and shoes to bottom for companies that reside elsewhere. In 1857, a fund of five thousand dollars was subscribed for the purpose of organizing a company to manufacture boots and shoes ; but the financial pressure of that year crushed it in embryo.
The manufacture of baskets has been carried on for some years past by Hiram H. Wetherell, George W. Story, Deacon Jason F. Alden, Deacon Stillman Smith, Josephus Skinner, and others.
Ploughs were made by Daniel Briggs, and also Wash- burn Braman, for several years ; but the introduction of cast-iron ploughs put an end to the wooden ones.
A building for the making of molasses from Indian- corn stalks was built, during the Revolutionary war, by Nathaniel Wood and Noah Wiswall, on the south- erly side of the road, about half way from where the Wiswall House stood to where Warren Adams now lives. It was in a great measure a failure ; though, for a few years, a small amount of molasses was made. Simeon Presbery, during the war of 1812, erected a building for the manufacture of molasses from corn-stalks. It stood a short distance easterly of Nathaniel Newcomb's house, in the lot, near a large oak-tree.
Mr. Samuel R. Lincoln has, for some years, manu- factured gravestones at the extreme easterly part of the town.
Theodore Carver, for some years, carried on the manufacture of soap in the northerly part of the town.
Within the present year (1858), Austin Messinger has commenced the manufacture of a very superior kind of friction-matches.

CHAPTER XXIII.
POPULATION AND CENSUS OF 1855.
" Go now through all the tribes, and number ye the people." - OLD BIBLE.
IN this chapter, we shall give the population of Norton at various times ; and the State Census of the inhabi- tants on the 1st of June, 1855, taken by the assessors, which has been copied for us by a friend. We have taken the liberty to correct a few very obvious mistakes. Probably some of the surnames will be found incor- rectly spelled, especially among the foreign population ; and, doubtless, the same will be true of a few of the

Christian names. It is almost impossible to take the census of any town, without more or less errors being made.
