for and 33 against the proposition. The history of the tannery after this is a disagreeable record, as we shall see when we come to a consideration of the town industries. The different pro- prietors "exploited " it, borrowing money of the citizens, which was never paid, and finally left the concern in hopeless bank- ruptcy.

By an act of the state legislature, approved, July 7, 1874, a few acres of land in the north-west corner of Sullivan were annexed to Gilsum. The following is the act :

An Act to sever a tract of land from the town of Sullivan and annex the same to the town of Gilsum.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened :

Section I. That so much of the territory of the town of Sullivan as is described and bounded as follows, to wit: beginning at the northwest corner of the town of Sullivan, thence south, 87 degrees east, seventy rods to a stake and stones on the east bank of the Ashuelot River, thence by the east and south bank of said river, eighty-seven rods, to a hemlock tree marked, on the west line of Sullivan, thence north, 3 degrees east, fifteen rods, to the place of beginning,- is hereby severed from said town of Sullivan and annexed to said town of Gilsum.

Sec. 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.

Gilsum, in the Sullivan Town Hall, John Locke, M., Elbridge H. Taft of Sullivan was chosen representative to the General Court for the two towns. On Dec. 10, the select-men, at the house of Mason A. Nims, by authority vested in them, severed the home farm of said Nims from District No. I and annexed it to District No. 2. On Dec. 28, Alanson A. Nims, M., votes were cast for a Congressman to fill the place of Hon. E. W. Farr of Littleton, deceased.

Mar. 8, 1881-Alanson A. Nims, M. ; Henry C. Rawson, Daniel Willard Rugg, Frederick A. Wilson, S. M .- This year the vote with respect to deceased persons was still further modified by specifying that the bell should be tolled whenever it was requested.

On Nov. 6, at a meeting of Sullivan, Surry, and Roxbury, at the Sullivan Town Hall, Alanson A. Nims, M., Harrison N.

make a survey of the grounds, number the lots, and straighten up the gravestones". On Nov. 4, Daniel Willard Rugg, M., votes were cast for state and county officers, a Congressman, and Presidential electors. On the question of calling a consti- tutional convention, the Sullivan votes were 4 yes, 37 no. At a meeting in Surry of the three classed towns, on Nov. 25, Geo. K. Harvey of Surry, M., Daniel Willard Rugg was chosen as the representative of Sullivan, Surry, and Roxbury in the General Court.

Mar. 10, 1885-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Marshall J. Barrett, Austin A. Ellis, George S. Kingsbury, S. M .- It was voted to leave with the select-men the matter of appointing an agent or agents to expend the money raised to repair highways and bridges. Chose George S. Kingsbury, William H.

Rawson, and George L. Mason a committee to do it and use any money in the treasury for so doing not otherwise appropriated. The presentation of such a tomb, a little later, by Mr. C. F. Wilson of Keene, formerly of Sullivan, was a reason why this committee took no action in regard to the matter.

Mar. 9, 1886-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Austin A. Ellis, George S. Kingsbury, Henry C. Rawson, S. M .- Voted not to buy a road scraper and not to pay the road tax in money. Chose Geo. S.

On. Aug. 7, D. W. Rugg, M., voted 12 to I to build the road from No. 5 school-house to a point near the old Martin Spaulding place. There were not enough votes thrown to make the ballot valid. On Nov. 2, same moderator, votes were cast for state and county officers and a Congressman. On the previous day, David B. Nims of Roxbury was chosen as a representative to the General Court for the group of towns which included Sullivan, at a meeting of the towns of Sullivan, Surry, and Roxbury, at Roxbury, George K. Harvey of Surry, M.

Mar. 8, 1887-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; George S. Kingsbury, Henry C. Rawson, Lyman Davis, S. M .- Voted 34

to 19 not to pay the highway tax in money. At this meeting it was voted to pass over articles with reference to a town history and a centennial celebration. It was deemed wiser that the celebration should be arranged by the voluntary efforts of the citizens. This would effectually dispose of any adverse criti- cisms arising from the use of public money for such a purpose. On the sixteenth of August, a general meeting of the citizens was called and D. W. Rugg chosen president of the assembly. Arrangements were made for celebrating the hundredth anni- versary of the town's incorporation upon the 27th of September following. The arrangements were upon the most liberal scale. The day was pleasant and a vast concourse of people from this town and other parts of the county and state, as well as from many parts of the United States, assembled on the old common to do honor to the occasion, which was the most memorable day in the history of Sullivan. As the proceedings were printed in full in the first 76 pages of this volume, a more extended notice will not be given here. On the second of April, D. W. Rugg, M., it was voted, 39 to 17, to discontinue the road laid out by the select-men from the No. 5 school-house to the West Road.

Mar. 13, 1888-The great storm, one of the most noted snow-storms in the history of the town, prevented any town meeting. Another meeting was called, in accordance with legal forms, for March thirty-first .- Mar. 31, 1888-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Henry C. Rawson, Lyman Davis, Charles W. Hubbard, S. M .- Again voted not to buy a road scraper. The road from No. 5 school-house to the West Road was finally accepted at this meeting and the select-men were authorized to build it, to draw $500.00 from the treasury for the purpose, and to borrow what more might be needed for construction and damages. At this meeting, it was voted "to raise $300.00 to assist Josiah L. Seward in the expense of publishing the history of the town of Sullivan". The writer of the volume here acknowledges this vote, with thanks, and regrets that the great labor of preparing, single-handed, a work involving so much research, has prevented a speedier use of the appropriation. The town "chose by major vote Frederick A. Wilson a com- mittee to draw the money appropriated for the town history, render such assistance to Mr. Seward in gathering historical

statistics and in the sale of the history as may seem necessary". This excellent man did not live to see the work published. He was a valued friend of the author, who here publicly acknowl- edges, with deep gratitude, the large amount of assistance which he gave to him in the earlier stages of the preparation of this work. It was voted to appropriate $35.00 for Decoration Day, and George S. Kingsbury, George W. Marston, and Wm. H. Bates were appointed a committee to superintend its expendi- ture. On Nov. 6, D. W. Rugg, M., votes were cast for state and county officers, a Congressman, and Presidential electors. On this day, Daniel Willard Rugg was elected state senator from this district, the first and only senator of the state who, during his term of office, resided in Sullivan. On Nov. 10, at a meeting of Sullivan, Surry, and Roxbury, at the Town Hall in Sullivan, Almon A. Davis of Roxbury, moderator, Mason A. Carpenter of Surry was chosen a representative to the General Court, for the three towns. Geo. K. Harvey of Surry was chosen as a delegate, for the same three towns, to the constitutional con- vention of 1889.

Mar. 12, 1889-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Lyman Davis, Charles W. Hubbard, Henry W. Hubbard, S. M .- A hundred dollars were raised to repair the Town Hall, and George Kings- bury was chosen the agent to see it done. At this meeting, Sullivan voted in favor of six out of seven of the proposed con- stitutional amendments, voting against the one which would remove the word "Protestant " from the bill of rights.

Mar. II, 1890-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Charles W. Hubbard, Henry W. Hubbard, Arthur H. Rugg, S. M .- On Nov. 4, D. W. Rugg, M., votes were thrown for state and county officers and a Congressman. George S. Kingsbury was chosen to represent the town in the General Court, but that body held that he was not entitled, according to law, to hold his seat.

Mar. 10, 1891-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Henry W. Hubbard, Arthur H. Rugg, Asahel N. Holt, S. M .- Horace R. Fifield was elected, at first, for the 3d select-man, but declined. It was voted to raise the road tax in money and authorize the select-men to expend it as they should deem most expedient. The provision for tolling the bell for deceased persons was omitted altogether, this year. The custom has practically dis-

appeared from all places, except in particular cases. It is some- what to be regretted that it has; for it was a tribute of respect to the memory of the departed, and called out a feeling of solemnity which it is peculiarly fitting that such an event should produce. This is not because any law of nature is wrong or deplorable, as such, but because the deepest interests of the soul's life should, at times, engage our attention. The tolling bell, for a few moments, bids us look up from earth to the possi- bilities of the spiritual life.

Mar. 8, 1892-Daniel Willard Rugg, M .; Arthur H. Rugg, Asahel N. Holt, Frank L. Rawson, S. M .- On Aug. 23, same moderator, it was voted to procure an iron bridge to be placed across Otter River at East Sullivan, near the mill of T. A. Hastings, 18 feet in width. At this meeting were received two gifts from Charles Franklin Wilson of Keene, formerly of Sullivan. One was a gift of two hundred dollars in money, to be used in the construction of a town tomb, near the meeting- house cemetery. The other was a gift of one hundred dollars, to be kept as a fund of which the income should be used in keeping in order the donor's burial lot in the same cemetery. At a later date, on Mar. 13, 1894, the town adopted the follow- ing resolutions :

WHEREAS: Our former and highly respected citizen, Charles Franklin Wilson, has through the goodness of his heart, donated the sum of two hun- dred dollars for a tomb for the town of Sullivan :

Resolved: That the people of the town of Sullivan, in town meeting assembled, extend sincere thanks to said donor for this generous gift.

Resolved : That these resolutions be spread upon our town records and that our town clerk be instructed to transmit a copy of the same to our respected friend.

At the same meeting, on Aug. 23, 1892, it was voted to accept the legacy, left to the town, as a trust fund, by the will of Mrs. Emily L. (White) Fassett. Section 10 of her will reads :

" I give and bequeath to the town of Sullivan, N. H., the sum of one hun- dred dollars, to be kept as a permanent fund, the income to be annually expended to keep in repair and beautify the old cemetery, where my near relatives are buried ".

On Nov. 8, 1892, votes were cast for Presidential electors, and state and county officers, and a Congressman. Daniel

Gave select- men discretion to repair the town hearse. Instructed Joseph N. Nims to dispose of the bricks remaining of those bought to build the tomb. On Nov. 6, votes were thrown for state and county officers and a Congressman. It was voted that the select-men build a driveway, as they think best, in the meeting- house cemetery, and have power to buy more land should they deem it necessary. Daniel Willard Rugg was again elected moderator of the town for the next two years. On the question of calling a convention to revise the state constitution, the Sullivan votes were 4 yea, 17 nay.

Mar. 12, 1895-Daniel Willard Rugg, M. [elected Nov. 8, 1892]; Horace R. Fifield, Will. H. Harris, Eugene Marston, S. M .- Voted that the select-men should use their discretion about the repairing of the fence around the town farm.

Mar. 10, 1896-Daniel Willard Rugg, M. [elected Nov. 6, 1894]; Will. H. Harris, Eugene Marston, Marshall J. Bar- rett, S. M .- Voted that there should be no discount on taxes.

158

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.

The third select-man was elected on the tenth ballot. The trouble does not seem to have arisen from objections to those who received votes, but to an unwillingness to serve. Four different men who were elected declined to serve. It was voted to pay road agents $2.00 per day. Voted to repair the "line" bridge, or to build a new one in place of it, if need be. On Nov. 8, Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 3, 1896], votes were cast for state and county officers and a Congressman.

Mar. 14, 1899-Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 8, 1898] ; Henry Davis, Frank L. Rawson, John H. Woodbury, S. M .- It was voted, after some discussion, and a few fruitless votes, to adopt the so-called Pillsbury highway law, and to divide the town into six highway districts, and to leave the remaining pro- visions of the law to the discretion of the select-men. . It was voted, at this meeting, to buy a "road machine". The subject had been considered and discussed at each of the five previous meetings, but the article in each warrant would either be passed over, or be pushed aside with a negative vote. Voted to raise $250.00 to pay for the machine, and to leave the purchase with the select-men. The same board were also authorized to use their judgment about selling any wood from the town farm.

Mar. 13, 1900-Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 8, 1898]; Frank L. Rawson, John H. Woodbury, Samuel Edmund Jen- kins, S. M .- At a meeting on Nov. 6, with the same moderator, votes were cast for Presidential electors, state and county officers, and a Congressman. At this meeting another vote was taken upon the oft-recurring question of calling a convention to revise the constitution of the state. The votes at this time were 13 yes, 16 no.

Mar. 12, 1901-Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 6, 1900]; John H. Woodbury, Samuel Edmund Jenkins, Minot Wesley Hubbard, S. M .- Voted that the select-men cause the weights and measures used by the sealer to be put in order. This year, for the first time since the inauguration of the custom, in 1830, no appropriation was made for the coffins of deceased persons. For 71 years, from 1830 to 1900, both years inclusive, such a vote had been passed at the annual meeting. From 1830 to 1874, both years inclusive, the vote was to buy the coffins. Until that time, plain coffins were generally used which did not

cost over five dollars. The town made regular arrangements with Keene dealers, to furnish a certain style of coffins at regu- lation prices. About 1875, the custom of using caskets much more expensive than the old coffins came into use. From 1875 to 1900, both dates inclusive, 26 years in all, the town appro- priated $5.00 towards each coffin (or casket), and the family of the deceased paid all extra charges. After 1900, no appro- priation was made for burial caskets of any kind. The former arrangement was a very wise one in its day, but the time has come when it is best to leave such matters with the friends of the deceased.

Mar. II, 1902-Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 6, 1900]; Samuel Edmund Jenkins, Minot Wesley Hubbard, Henry W. Hubbard, S. M .- It was voted to leave the housing of the "road machines " with the select-men. No special building has, as yet (1904), been constructed for them. It was voted to continue the existing system of road repairing. An article to provide for a "home week" celebration was passed over. On Nov. 4, with the same moderator, votes were cast for state and county officers and a Congressman.

Mar. 10, 1903-Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 4, 1902] ; Minot Wesley Hubbard, Henry W. Hubbard, Winfred J. White, S. M .- Three men first successively chosen for the office of third select-man declined to serve. Voted to retain the existing highway system, passed over an article to provide for a home week festival, and appropriated $10.00 for Memorial Day, and chose John S. Currier the agent to draw it. Votes were cast as follows upon 10 proposed amendments to the state constitu- tion :- I. To provide an educational test for voters, 47 yes, 2 no .- 2. Examination of militia officers, 29 yes, 5 no .- 3. Re- lating to the appointment of a Commissary General, 9 yes, 18 no .- 4. Taxation of franchises, 14 yes, 26 no .- 5. Extension of the jurisdiction of the courts, 28 yes, 7 no .- 6. With refer- ence to religious clauses in the bill of rights, 12 yes, 21 no .- 7. Female suffrage, 23 yes, 20 no .- 8. Control of trusts, 31 yes, 10 no .- 9. To change the apportionment of representa- tives to the General Court, 31 yes, 6 no .- IO. Provision for voting precincts, 18 yes, 18 no. On the twelfth of May, a special meeting was held, Lyman Davis, the town moderator,

presiding, when it was voted 32 to 5 not to grant licenses in town for the sale of spirituous liquors. It was also voted to exempt the parsonage from taxation, this year.

Mar. 8, 1904-Lyman Davis, M. [elected Nov. 4, 1902]; Minot Wesley Hubbard, Winfred J. White, Leston F. Davis, S. M .- Two men elected as select-men declined to serve before the number was completed. Articles were passed over having reference to continuing the existing road system, with respect to a home week celebration, and about buying a road plow. On Nov. 8, Lyman Davis, town moderator, presiding, votes were cast for Presidential electors, state and county officers, and a Congressman.

IV. JOHN SULLIVAN.

It would be in place here to say a few words about John Sullivan for whom the town of Sullivan was named. For lack of space, however, we shall not repeat what was said by the author in his oration at the Sullivan Centennial .* Since that oration was delivered, it has been discoveredt that the birth- place of John Sullivan was Somersworth, N. H., where his father was teaching and where his family were passing the winter. All the gazetteers and biographical dictionaries had given the place of birth as Berwick, Me. (near Great Falls), very naturally, because his father had his residence there for 50 years or more. This father was named Owen Sullivan (origi- nally O'Sullivan), the etymology of which word we have already explained.# Owen was descended from a very illustrious family of pure Irish blood. His ancestors lived at Ardea in Ireland, in the county of Kerry. He reckoned among his ancestors several old Irish lords and persons of great distinction, who traced their pedigree through 30 or more generations. Owen was highly educated and spoke several languages. Through the influence of Rev. Mr. Moody of Portsmouth and other gentlemen of dis- tinction in New Hampshire, he was introduced to the best families and taught publicly and privately for many years. He died at his Berwick home, on Saturday, June 20, 1795, at the age of 105 years and three days, having been born in Ireland,
