death. He worked many years in the saw and gristmills owned by his father, and was a born mechanic. His attention, how- ever, was given chiefly to farming at which he was very success- ful, adding two farms to his estate. In all his undertakings he was ably seconded by his wife. He was blest with a cheerful and sunny disposition which endeared him to all, and his genial good humor and love of fun were unfailing. He received his education in the town schools and in the academies of New Salem and Shelburne Falls. A member of the Franklin county and the three county agricultural societies. He was well known as a man of indefatigable industry, strict morality and unwaver- ing integrity. It is with pleasure that we here present his portrait. Five ch :

He evidently possesses many of the traits of his mother, while the training of his father has aided him largely in taking care of his large farm and to successfully run the business of farming. True he has advantages that his father did not have, for his chances for an education have been superior, and he has grown to be a broad-minded man, a deep thinker, takes a broader view of things, is well adapted to mingle in any society, and we love to think the gentle influences of the amiable and well-balanced mind of his mother are stamped upon him. AsI am a believer in heredity so I account for his suavity of manners and address. As his portrait, which we take great pleasure in presenting, shows him, a pleasant, gentlemanly man. As a tobacco grower he is well posted, as a packer as good as the average, and his success in business needs no commendation from me. One ch :

SARTWELL, NATHANIEL, was here in 1770, son of En- sign Obadiah and Rachael (Parker) Sartwell of Charlestown, N. H., b 12 Feb., 1725. He was in the expedition to Crown Point in 1748, he was in Capt. Hobb's company in the fight west of Fort Dummer in which our men proved too much for a much larger number of French and Indians. He remained in town quite a number of years and joined in a petition to allow those then living at Canterbury to be exempted from the school and minister's taxes, as it was fully five miles to Hat and they attended church and sent their scholars to Sund, only half a mile away, and this was granted. We have no record of his family.

2 SCOTT, William, came to Hat perhaps from Hartford, Ct., if so was prob the son of Thomas of Hartford, who was a resident of Hartford in 1640. I do not know that William was his son but the probabilities point that way as he came to Hat and the bulk of its first settlers were from Hartford and its immedi- ate vicinity. However we will treat him as the son of Thomas 1. He m 28 Jan., 1670, Hannah, dau of Lieut. William Allis of Hat, b abt 1658 at Braintree. Ten ch, b at Hat :

Bradstreet grant and as early as 1718 built a house and farm buildings in the Straits, on the place now owned by the heirs of Charles F. Pease. He owned one hundred acres of land divided into four lots of twenty-five acres in each halt mile. The north lot in the grant was his and he bought half of the adjoining lot, so that it contained thirty-seven and one-half acres and then built another set of farm buildings, where his son, Josiah, Jr., settled. His father deeded this place to him 6 Nov., 1745. The first farm buildings descended to his second son, Benjamin. Seven ch, prob b at Hat before he rem to the Straits :

Later Mr. Scott moved to the Straits, where he d 4 June, 1776, on the place now owned by Fred A. Hawley. He m Margaret, dau of Joseph Belden of Wh, b II May, 1732. While living at the first named place, Mr. Scott saw a fine, large deer feeding where he had foddered his cows on the snow. It was a Sunday morning. His wife urged him to shoot the deer, insisting that he should as their supply of meat was very small, but he declined and said he would not violate the Sabbath and if the Lord intended that he should have that deer He would certainly send it some other day when he could conscientiously shoot him. A few days after, lo and behold, the deer again put in an appearance and Mr. Scott shot him. I fear that few to-day would have run the chance of losing the first opportunity.
