6. EDWIN BRANT FROST, another son of Dea. Benjamin and Mary Cath- erine (Brant) Frost, was born in Sullivan (at 72), Dec. 30, 1832. He graduated at Dartmouth College in 1858. He taught at Pittsfield a short time, also at Royalston, Mass. He read law for a few months, then commenced the study of medicine with his brother, Dr. C. P. Frost, the subject of the preceding notice, at St. Johnsbury, Vt. He pursued his medical studies until May 1862, when he recruited a company of soldiers and became the captain of the company, in the Ioth Vermont Vols., in the Civil War. He was killed in the battle of Cold Harbor, Va., June 3, 1864, while gallantly fighting the enemies of the union.
7. EDWIN AUGUSTINE KEMP, son of Benjamin and Lydia (Woods) Kemp, was born in Sullivan, Nov. 17, 1833, and was a brother of Dr. E. A. Kemp (No. 3 in this list of physicians). He prepared for college at the Kimball Union Academy at Meriden, 1854-56. He was associate principal of the Westmore- land Valley Seminary, at Westmoreland, N. H., in 1859-60, the principal being Rev. (now Rev. Dr.) S. H. McCollester. He was a graduate of the medical department of the University of Vermont, with the degree of M. D., in 1862. He was Acting Assistant Surgeon of the United States Army, in hospital ser- vice, at Washington, D. C., 1862-65. He practised medicine at Enfield, Mass., 1867-76; Great Barrington, Mass., 1877-79; Lonsdale, R. I., for a time; then at Danvers, Mass., for several years ; finally at Lonsdale, R. I., again, where he still resides. He was born in the house that stood at 165, known as the old Jonas Stevens place. In his early childhood, his father moved to the Woods mansion at 80. Here Dr. Kemp spent his youth. He has attained distinction in his profession, and enjoys a well-earned reputation for skill and ability. In the general catalogue of the University of Vermont for 1900, his name was improperly entered in the medical class of 1862, as Henry Augustine Kemp, the true name being Edwin Augustine Kemp.
8. GEORGE WALLACE KEITH, son of Bezaleel and Mary (Farwell) Keith, was born in Walden, Vt., July 1, 1835, and came to Sullivan with his father's family when a lad. His youth was passed at the house (138) where Mr. E. A. Blood lives. He did not receive an academic education, but he has been a good

student and is a well-informed man. He was quick and bright intellectually, strongly sympathetic in his nature, apt to learn and to seize upon new ideas, and apparently endowed with that physical gift of imparting health and vigor to others, through the efforts of manipulation, or personal magnetism, which have often been of much service in the art of healing. He obtained a medical diploma from an institution in Philadelphia and practised medicine many years in various places. As the result of a fall on an elevator, in Leominster, Mass., when he was a young man, he sustained injuries which, at the time, were nearly fatal, and have produced serious complications since. He has been a victim of ill health for many years. Partly from this circumstance, and partly from a natural love of travel and change of scene, he has lived in many different places in the United States, including Boston (at several different times), New York, Stoughton, Mass., Colorado Springs, Tacoma, Wash., Oakland and San Fran- cisco, and several other cities. When in health, he had a successful practice. Of late years, his home has been in Leominster, Mass. Had he been favored in youth with such educational advantages as have fallen to the lot of many others, he might easily have become one of the leading scholars of the time.
9. EDWARD BEECHER NIMS, son of Seth and Maria (Frost) Nims, was born in Sullivan, at 72, Apr. 20, 1838.

4. DENTISTS.
Three natives of Sullivan have chosen dentistry for a profession. One of them is not living, one has recently graduated, and the other is well established in Keene. They are the following :
I. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN KEMP (who usually, in later years, wrote his name, F. B. Kemp), son of Benjamin and Lydia (Woods) Kemp, was born in Sullivan, Feb. 20, 1828, at 165. He was a brother of Rev. G. S. Kemp, and of Doctors Enoch Alba and Edwin A. Kemp. He studied dentistry in Keene, with Dr. F. S. Stratton, who was one of the ablest dentists who ever practised in this part of New England. It was before the days of dental schools and dental diplomas. His practice was chiefly at Townshend, Vt., but he removed to Brattleborough, Vt., where he died, Feb. 16, 1871, in the prime of life.
2. ALSTON FOSTER BARRETT, son of Wm. Wallace and Caroline Ophelia (Powell) (Jenkins) Barrett, was born in Sullivan, at 26, Nov. 7, 1866. He graduated, with the degree of D. D. S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery), at the Bos- ton Dental College, in 1897. He had previously learned the trade of a barber, by which he earned the means of aiding himself, at least in part, in procuring his education. On his graduation, he established his office in the Sentinel build- ing at Keene, and, in 1906, removed to the office in the building of the Ashuelot Bank in Keene, the same office which had been used many years by Dr. B. T. Olcott, and, before Dr. Olcott, by Dr. F. S. Stratton, whose long practice of about forty years in Keene was mostly in this room, where, at first, he was also associated with his famous uncle, Dr. C. Stratton. Dr. Barrett has already won the esteem and confidence of the community and has an extensive and success- ful practice in all forms of dentistry and dental surgery.
3. FRANCIS BROUGHTON DAVIS, son of Elliot J. and Sarah Toombs (Broughton) (Kenerson) Davis, was born in Sullivan, at 119, March 10, 1874. In his early youth, unhappy circumstances caused the family ties to be sundered in the home, and the family was dispersed. Some of the children of this family were placed in the New Hampshire Orphans' Home, at Franklin. Francis B. remained with his mother, and was placed for a time in the family of James H. Stevens of Stoddard. Later he worked in different places and learned the trade of a machinist. He finally found his way to 'South Africa, and worked as a machinist, on bicycle work, at Johannesburg. The Boer War brought this work to an end and he returned to America. By struggles, such as many boys make, to get an education, he finally completed a course of dental study, and graduated, June 1, 1906, from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, in Philadelphia, with the degree of D. D. S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery). Since then, he has located at Jersey Shore, Lycoming Co., Pa., a place of seven or eight thousand inhabitants, where he is now (1907) practising his profession.

6. OTHER COLLEGE MEN.
I. ELIJAH CARTER, JR., son of Dea. Elijah and Sarah (Bridge) Carter, was born in Sullivan, at 228, shortly after his parents had moved there from what was, later, the Keith place. He was born, Dec. 4, 1797, according to the Sulli- van records (Dec. 3, in the published Carter genealogy, is probably incorrect). He entered Yale College (now Yale University), but before he had completed his course at that institution, he died, Aug. 9, 1822, at Weathersfield, Conn. His father was, at that time, living in Keene. The young man was in his sophomore year. He started for home, on account of illness, in May 1822. On reaching Weathersfield, he became so much worse that he could proceed no farther, and remained there until his death.
2. SAMUEL NEWELL FIFIELD. son of Israel B. and Judith (Taylor) Fifield, was born in Franklin, N. H., Oct. 10, 1826, and came to Sullivan, to reside with his mother, at 102 (in a large house that stood near the site of the present house), after her marriage to Samuel Locke, Esq. Mr. Fifield was an excep- tionally bright and brilliant youth, venturesome and often careless. On the morning of a certain Fourth of July, he said that " he was going to fire the big- gest gun that Sullivan ever heard". He probably did, but, in doing so, acci-

dentally shot off his left hand at the wrist. He was an easy scholar, especially in mathematics. He fitted for college at Mt. Cæsar Seminary in Swanzey, and at a select school at the Paper Mill Village, now known as Alstead (the old vil- lage of Alstead being now Alstead Centre). He entered Norwich University in Vermont, since removed to Northfield, Vt., and was there in 1849-50, but did not graduate. He was in the scientific department. In the fall of 1852, he married Miss Celestine Keith and, shortly after, went to the West, first to Mil- waukee, later to Elkhorn, Nebraska. Mrs. Fifield was a rare woman. She was bright, well-educated, brave, and fearless, reading human nature easily, and as fond as her husband of romantic adventures. They received a quarter-section of land as a bounty to Mrs. Fifield, on account of her being the first white woman, who had settled in the territory west of Omaha. He received another gratuity as a recognition of valuable mathematical aid which he had given to the government surveyors. They also purchased lands when the price was low, and eventually, by the rise in the value of land, their property became valuable. Mr. Fifield lost still another piece of his left arm, by an accident, after they removed to the West. He was a victim of tuberculosis, and died of a hem- orrhage, at Elkhorn, Nebraska, Oct. 5, 1859. Mrs. Fifield, after this, visited her friends in New England, several times, and died at Fremont, Nebraska, Oct. 15, 1891. They had several thrilling adventures with Indians.

Thomas S. and Julia Ann (Cooley) Norton, was born, July 7, 1846, in Sullivan, in the old Muzzy parson- age that stood at 87, a little farther back from the road than the map represents. He was, for a time, a student at some Worcester institution of a scientific nature, but did not complete the course. He died early in life, at Dover, Mass., June 2, 1883. He had inherited much mechanical taste and ability.
4. ORLANDO LESLIE SEWARD, son of Orlando and Lydia F. (Bailey) Seward, was born in Sullivan, at 149, Nov. 14, 1885. He was educated in the Keene Schools and graduated in 1875, at the New Hampshire College of Agri- culture and the Mechanic Arts, then located at Hanover (now at Durham), with the degree of B. S. He has developed a natural taste for painting, although he has executed some fine designs in architectural and mechanical drawing. He is largely employed in applying his skill as a decorative artist in good houses. He resides at 287 Church St., Keene. For a further account of him, see page 588 of this book.
5. JOSEPH HENRY MASON, son of Charles and Ellen P. (Joslin) Mason, was born in Sullivan, at 6, June 26, 1866. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College, in the class of 1889. He was, for a time, in business, at 146 Franklin St., Boston, Mass. When the Spanish-American War began, many of young Mason's friends entered the government service, and he had a strong desire to do so. His health had never been firm and his father very much wished that he might give up the idea, but he finally concluded to enter the service and joined Co. H, 5th Mass. Regiment. This regiment was encamped in the South, for drill and discipline, and to be in readiness, but did not leave the country. The damp ground and Southern malaria proved too much for young Mason's frail body and he contracted the seeds of a malady from which he never recovered. On returning to the North, he remained for a time at the Rutland, Mass., Sani-

He left in 1906, and is now connected with the building and lumber business of Thayer & Collins, in the offices at Springfield, Mass.
IO. ALFRED ELWIN BLOOD, son of E. A. and Elvira M. (Wilson) Blood, was born in Sullivan, at 138, Nov. 2, 1887. He is now pursuing the two years' course of study at the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts at Durham, in the class which obtains its certificates in 1907.
