Page 506, line 3. For "These," read Those.
Page 506, under BENJAMIN ELLIS, line 5. For "had been," read had also been, meaning that he lived in Keene during his earlier service, and in Sullivan during his later service.
CALEB WINCH, SR., who lived a short time in Sullivan and married the widow of James Rowe, also served in the Revolution. See page 509, where his name should be inserted between Daniel Wilson and Pompey Woodward.
Page 511, line 8. For "a brother," read, and a brother. James was the brother, not Daniel.
Page 511, line II. For "killed," read mortally wounded. He died on the following morning, Sept. 12, not "Sept. It," as stated in the same line.
Three more soldiers of the MEXICAN WAR have been discovered since the military chapter was written, one of whom was born in town and the others were recent residents.
Ist LIEUT. CYRUS CUMMINGS, a son of Rev. Charles Cummings, when 19 years of age, went to Galveston, Texas. He entered the Texan navy and re- mained seven years in Texas. He served in the Mexican War and was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant.
GEORGE HUBBARD, who lived several years on the old Wilson farm at 64, also saw service in the Mexican War.
HENRY WALLACE, who lives with his daughter, on the David Seward farm, was in the Mexican War. See the addition of Civil War Soldiers, of which he was one.
The following native residents of Sullivan should be added to the roll of Sullivan soldiers in the Civil War :
EDWIN AGUSTINE KEMP, M. D., a son of Benjamin Kemp, Jr., was Acting Assistant Surgeon of the United States Army, in hospital service, in Washing- ton, D. C., from 1862 until 1865. His record should be inserted on page 523, between the paragraphs relating to HUSSEY and MACDONALD. For a more complete notice of Dr. Kemp, see page 601.
803
ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.
EDWARD BEECHER NIMS, M. D., was the Assistant Surgeon of the Ist Ver- mont Cavalry, in 1864-1865. He was the son of Seth Nims. His record should have been inserted on page 524, in the paragraph preceding the one relating to EDWIN T. NIMS. See page 602 for a more complete notice of Dr. Nims.
Of natives of Sullivan who were engaged in the Civil War were the follow- ing, whose names were not inserted in their proper places, on pages 526-9, because information concerning their record was at that time lacking.
ALBERT WILLARD ELLIS, son of Ira Ellis, is said to have died in the serv- ice during the Civil War. He was probably in a Wisconsin regiment.
REV. HENRY MARTYN FROST, son of Benjamin, was a Chaplain of the 7th Vermont Reg., in 1862. For a fuller account of his life, see page 592.
WINDSOR GLEASON, JR., who lived a short time upon the Gibbs farm (at 206), was two years in the famous 6th Mass. Vols., and was wounded in the foot.
ALBERT WILBUR HEATON, son of Nathaniel, born at 24, was in Co. A, 2d N. H. Vols., as a private ; enlisted, Apr. 25, 1861 ; reenlisted, May 22, 1861 ; was wounded, at Williamsburg, Va., May 5, 1862; died of his wounds, May 25, 1862, at Mill Creek Hospital, Pa. This record was inadvertently misplaced when page 527 was printed.
GEORGE SPARHAWK HEATON, a brother of the preceding, also born at 24, was likewise a private in Co. A, 2d N. H. Vols. He enlisted, Apr. 25 (reenlisted May 22), 1861. He was captured, July 21, 1861, at Bull Run, Va. and paroled, Jan. 17, 1862 ; discharged at Concord, Aug. 15, 1862, for disability. He belonged to the Veteran Reserve Corps, and died at the Soldiers' Home, Togus, Me., June 4, 1906. This record, like that of his brother, was inadvertently misplaced when page 527 went to the press.
The two preceding soldiers had a cousin, GEORGE SEWARD HEATON in the N. H. 2d Reg. of Vols., who died at Portsmouth, Feb. 21, 1906. His parents were both natives of Sullivan, but his name was not inserted in the list of Sul- livan soldiers because he was born in Keene and never had a residence in Sul- livan.
Of the old soldiers of the Civil War who have lived in Sullivan since the close of the war, the following names should appear, in addition to those given upon pages 529-30. Their records were either unconsciously overlooked or unknown when those pages went to press.
SERGT. DANIEL OSCAR BEVERSTOCK, a native of Marlow, lived after the war at 51, and now resides in Keene. He enlisted as a private, Sept. 13, 1862, in Co. G of the 16th N. H. Vols. He was mustered out, Aug. 20, 1863. This regiment had a short life, but was in three sharp battles. Mr. Beverstock re- enlisted in the 18th N. H. Vols., Sept. 27, 1864, and was credited to Nelson. He was mustered out, June 10, 1865, having been in the service a year. His record should have been inserted between those of Bates and Brason, on page 529. He had the rank of sergeant in the 18th Reg.
JOSEPH MATTHEW RICHARDSON, a native of Nelson, lived a short time, after the war, in the north part of the house of George Kingsbury, at 44. He enlisted, Sept. 14, 1862, as a private, in the 16th N. H. Vols. He was mustered out, Aug. 20, 1863. He now lives in Keene (1908).
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON THORNING, a native of Claremont, lived in

Sullivan, after the war, at 147, 112, and 63. He enlisted as a private, May 22, 1861, from Winchester, in Co. A, 2d N. H. Vols., for three years. He was dis- charged, May 30 (to date from May 22), 1864, in New York City. He lived later in Sullivan and Keene, and died at the Soldiers' Home in Tilton, Jan. 10, 1903.
HENRY WALLACE, who lives with Frank L. Fifield, at the David Seward place, at 139, was a soldier of the Mexican War, in the 9th New England Reg., commanded by Col. Ransom, and was in the company of Capt. Kimball. This regiment was in the brigade commanded by Gen. Franklin Pierce, afterwards a president of the United States. In the Civil War, Mr. Wallace was in the navy, on the U. S. Sloop of War INO. He went from Lynn, Mass.
ISRAEL PARKER WELLMAN lived, after the war, for a very short time, in the Abijah Seward house, at 155. He enlisted, Aug. 13, 1862 in Co. G, of the 14th N. II. Vols., and was mustered out, July 8, 1865. He served as a private. He died at Concord, Oct. 13, 1908.
Since the record of MILAN D. SPAULDING, upon page 525, was written, he died, March 23, 1908, at the Soldiers' Home, Togus, Me.
Since page 529 was printed, JOEL WILLISTON WRIGHT has changed his residence to Lake Placid, N. Y.
As a result of these additions to our list of Sullivan soldiers in the Civil War, the paragraph at the bottom of page 530 must be changed to read as fol- lows : There were in the Civil War, 25 men who belonged to the town, 38 who were natives or former residents, and 24 more who came to town to live after- wards, making a grand total of 87 connected with Sullivan, who participated in that memorable conflict. It is possible that we may discover other names at present overlooked by us, but we think that we now have the number complete to the present time. Other old soldiers may yet move into the town. Eighty- seven Civil War soldiers make a large total for so small a town and indicate the high degree of patriotism of the inhabitants, for all but 24 of these were natives or ante bellum residents of the town.
For soldiers who are members of the grand Army of the Republic see the following additional notes under INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY.
Since the chapter on MILITARY HISTORY was printed, Milan D. Spaulding (No. 19, page 525) died 'at the Soldiers' Home, Togus, Me., March 23, 1908. Charles F. Nims (No. 19, page 527) is also dead. He died in Marlow.
INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY.
Page 538, second line of the second paragraph under TAXATION. It is stated in the text that there are two iron bridges in town. Since that paragraph was written, another has been added to the number, making three at the present time. The last is the " line bridge," at the Nelson line, on the Concord Road, which replaces the former wooden one.
Page 541, second line under SOLICITORS. Instead of the words, "brought by or against the town in the courts," it would have been more proper to have used the words, brought by the town in courts or to defend the town when sued.
Page 546, line 8. The "January " mentioned was in 1906.
Page 547, line 6 from bottom. 6-16-95 should be 6-16-05.

Keene presented Mr. Seward with a costly jewel appropriate to the past master of a Masonic lodge. Asteria Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, also presented him with the jewel of a past worthy patron.
Page 552. At the end of the section on SOCIETIES, there ought to have been a mention of the Sullivan soldiers who have belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic. The roster of John Sedgwick Post, No. 4, of Keene shows that Lt. Henry E. Hubbard, who went to war from Sullivan was a member of the post. Samuel Nims, a native of the town was a member of the same organ- ization, and Lyman E. Esty, another native is still a member. The roster also includes the names of several soldiers who have lived in Sullivan since the war. Three such veterans, George S. Kingsbury, Wm. H. H. Thorning, and Israel P. Wellman, are now deceased. Charles A. Tarbox and Joseph M. Richardson, also members of that post, lived for a time in Sullivan after the war, but now live in Keene. Wm. H. H. Woodbury, another member of the post, has moved from Sullivan into Keene. Franklin B. Hardy, who lives in Sullivan, is another member. Geo. S. Currier formerly belonged to the same post, but has with- drawn. John W. Hammond belongs to the E. N. Taft Post of Winchester, William H. Chapin to Henry Stevens Post of Marlow, and Henry Wallace to Gen. Lander Post of Lynn, Mass. If there are other soldiers living in Sullivan who belong to posts, or who have belonged to any, we have not ascertained the facts. We think we have the names of all who have belonged to the post at Keene. Probably many of the soldiers included in the long roll of 87 names which we have discovered have been members of the Grand Army of the Re- public in other places, but we think we have named all members who have resided in Sullivan since the Grand Army of the Republic came into existence. Excepting the Keene Post, we have not attempted to get the names of former Sullivan men belonging to the Grand Army. Charles A. Howard, who lived several years in town, formerly belonged to some post, but does not retain his membership.
Page 554, lines 10 and 13 of the second paragraph. The names of both the stage drivers are printed incorrectly. In line 10, "Nooh " should be Noah. In line 13, " Hotch " should be Hatch.
Page 556, line 5. The house built by Joseph Felt is a 2-story house, but it is built against a knoll which gives it the appearance of being set in a side hill.
INDUSTRIES.
Page 558, last paragraph, lines 3 to 8. The Locke and Wilson houses are again occupied. The Martin Rugg house has a tenant, for the present (1908).
Page 560, second paragraph, line 9. The Leland house was put in repair in 1908, also a new barn was built npon the place, that is to say, the old barn upon the so-called Bridge place in Keene, where the Sullivan West Road leaves the Beaver Brook Road, was drawn to this place and rebuilt.
Page 562, after the third paragraph, there should have been a paragraph upon fruit culture. This omission is supplied under the head, CIDER MILLS, on page 569.

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN.
Ancient deeds show that Mr. Wetherbee had bought the land of Wilson, but he did not pay for it and surrendered the deed.
Page 563, last line. For " built a saw-mill," read bought the saw-mill. It had been built many years previously by Joseph Kingsbury. Mr. Spaulding also built a new mill on the site of the old Wright mill (or a few feet east of it), which has also disappeared.
Page 568, end of first paragraph. To the list of blacksmiths should be added the names of William Baker, who worked several years in the old shop at the Four Corners; also Luther Hemenway, who had a blacksmith shop at 217 on the north line of the town, mostly for his private use ; also Oliver Osgood, who lived at 160.
Page 569, end of first pargraph. We find that Samuel Mason who lived at 4, near East Sullivan, was a cordwainer, as shoemakers were then called. Probably he did not consider himself as exactly a professional cobbler, for he had a large farm. There were others who cobbled to a certain extent.
Page 571, lines 8 to to. It has been ascertained, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the house at 232, which preceded the present house upon the same site, was built long before Benjamin Ellis ceased to live on the corner near 237. The B. Ellis house may have been moved to the Nathan Ellis farm, for some kind of a building, or possibly it was burned. The house in which Capt. Abel Allen lived, on the site of 232, had doubtless been occupied by several doctors. See page 760.
Page 571, second paragraph, lines 5 and 6. It is believed to be almost cer- tain that the " inn " of Josiah Coolidge was the house at the Four Corners, at 97, where Tirzah Boynton lived. During those years it was not, apparently, occupied by anybody else, and an old newspaper advertisement speaks of it as having been used for a " public house."
Page 572, line 6. For "did," read ever sold any.
Page 572, line 5. Under MERCHANTS. The supposition is correct, that the store of Mr. Dorr was in house 97.
Page 573, line 3 of second paragraph. It is found that Wardwell built his store, first placed at 233, in 1830. It stood in that place about half a dozen years and then was moved to the site of 231.
Page 574, 4th line from bottom of the second paragraph. There should be a comma after the word " initiative."
Page 575, line 14. For " built a saw-mill," read owned the saw-mill. His father-in-law, Joseph Kingsbury, had built it. Dauphin, however, built a new saw-mill at 16312.
Page 575, end of first paragraph. It should be added that the sons of Dexter, Curtis, and Dauphin Spaulding were all first-class mechanics.
LITERATURE AND ART.
Page 577, line 9, year 1906. The third trustee for this year was Winfred J. White, instead of H. R. Fifield.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.
we were of the impression that the library at East Sullivan was merged with the town library. Such is not the case. The town library is the one described in the text. There is a library at East Sullivan which originated among the people of that part of the town and has no connection with the town library. This East Sullivan library is the one which has been in the house of T. A. Hastings and in Union Hall and of which Mrs. Hastings was the librarian.
The East Sullivan library is called the UNION LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. The books are now kept at the house of Lyman Davis. The librarians, from the first, have been Mrs. T. A. Hastings, Mrs. Will. H. Harris, and Mrs. Lyman Davis. The latter lady has held the position about eleven years already. This library has proved a great pleasure and convenience to that immediate neigh- borhood.
Page 578, LITERATURE, 2d line. For "of," read over.
Page 580, end of first stanza. Capt. Nims left a long ballad on the "Battle of Bunker Hill." It could not be found while we were preparing this chapter, and we were unable to quote from it.
Page 585, last paragraph. Mrs. Edwards is now a widow and resides in Leominster, Mass.
Page 589, end of first parapraph. RANSEL N. WHITNEY should be especi- ally mentioned in connection with the muscians of Sullivan. He became one of the best violinists in the country. He was for a long time one of the violin soloists upon the Fall River line of steamships between that city and New York. He resides in Brooklyn, N. Y.

FAMILY HISTORIES.
Page 629, paragraph 2, last sentence but one. BRENARD D. JENKINS is now (1909) living in the house at 38, which he has purchased.
Page 630, close of paragraph 3. PIERRE THEBERGE (known as Peter Brown), formerly living at the centre of the town, was living here at the beginning of 1909.
Page 636, paragraph 20. Near this house, but probably nearer to the cor- ner of the road leading to the house of Mr. Nash, stood, on the same side of the street, an old log house which was first used by Thomas Rider, before he built the house on the site of 21. Jeremiah Leland lived in this log house a short time. Rider built at 21 in 1798 and used this house only temporarily, while building a framed house at 21. Mr. Leland lived in it from about 1798 for a year or more. It was just a little west of the present house of Lyman Davis.
Page 636, paragraph 21, line 5. For "owner," read owners. Hon. D. W. Rugg and his son, Arthur H. Rugg, own the place jointly.
Page 636, paragraph 21. The statement in the first line of this paragraph is not accurate. The meaning is that the first house at this place was on the site of 21. The first house upon the farm was a log house, on (or a little west of) the site of 20. Thomas Beals lived in this log house and probably not in the framed house built on the site of 21. Thomas Rider lived in the framed house which stood at 21 and probably built it. He is supposed to have lived a few months in the log house at 20, while building the framed house at 21. Jeremiah Leland lived in the log house near the site of 20, as we saw in the second pre- ceding paragraph, nntil he built the house now standing at 26.

reader. The first house on the farm was the log house which was near the site of 20. This was the house in which Thomas Beals lived and in which Thomas Rider lived a few months. The second house on the farm was built by Thomas Rider on the site of 21. Roswell Nims, who later lived on Beech Hill in Keene, also lived at 21. The houses 27 and 28 were both built by John Mason, Sr. See those paragraphs in the text. The present farm includes the land on which both of those houses stood. The house at 22, although the third upon what was the original farm, would therefore really be the fifth house upon the land which now belongs to the present owners of this farm.
Page 637, paragraph 22, line 14. ARTHUR H. RUGG, it should be noted, was a joint purchaser of this place with his father.
Page 638, end of paragraph 24. Allen sold the Buckminster farm, on Sept. 26, 1907, to Almon P. Tyler.

Page 673, end of paragraph 93. This Gilsum town hall was burned in 1908.
Page 674, line 2. The date of the deed given to Hills ought doubtless to have been recorded as Jan. 26, 1796. He purchased other pieces of land on July 15, 1795. See paragraphs 232 and 235. Allusion is made to those purchases in this deed, which must have been subsequent to those purchases. This deed was recorded in 1796. Doubtless the "6" at the end of the year date, in the origi- nal deed, was mistaken by the recorder for a "o."

Page 682, end of paragraph 102. Mr. Eames sold this place, Nov. 30, 1907, to Martha R., wife of CHARLES HENRY WYMAN of Westmoreland. The Wymans have moved to the farm and are a desirable addition to the population of the town.
Page 687, line I. For "the latter gentleman," read Mr. Kidder.
Page 688, paragraph 112. In speaking of this house, we should have noted that Mr. and Mrs. Asa Ellis celebrated their golden wedding hete, Sept. 27, 1870.
