Dr. Pillsbury united with the church May 2, 1849. He writes, June 13, 1902, from " The Tallac," Lake Tahoe, Cal. : " My first membership was with the Congregational church at Hampstead. Soon after our marriage we both united with the Kirk street church at Lowell, Mass. Three years later we joined Dr. Marvin's church at Medford, Mass, and were members of this church for sixteen years or more. Removing to Brooklyn, N. Y., we, with our oldest daughter, became members of the Lee Avenue Congregational Church, under the pastorate of Dr. Edward Eggleston. Ten years later, 1883, on account of the ill health of our daughter Carrie, we located at Auburn, Cal. Our membership con- tinued with this church eighteen years. Our two sons became members at Auburn, and as they were educated at Stamford University, we were located in that vicinity for several years, and became members of the Third Congrega- tional Church at San Francisco, and for one year members of the Congregational Church at Oakland, Cal. At present we are members of the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. This is a large church, with a membership of over one thousand, and has two pastors, Dr. Day and son, but whether in a larger or smaller church, we have felt it our duty and privilege to do the little we can for the Master."

Dr. Francis Jewett Stevens. He writes : " Boxford, Mass .. July 29, 1902. I was born in Gilford, June 20, 1824, the oldest son of John Sherburn and Lucy (Jewett) Ste- vens. My father was born in Kingston, and was a grandson of Col. Ebenezer Stevens, who was for many years a promi- nent man in that place. My home during my minority was on the farm, and my life was the same as other boys on a ยท farm. My parents had both been school teachers, and until

emies, in which I passed some three school years. I worked on the farm, vacations, and taught school the winter before I was twenty-one years of age. In May, 1845, I went to Schenectady, N. Y., where I was a clerk in a book and music store for several months, when the store changed hands, and I soon began the study of dentistry, and for about three years continued the study and practice, and com- menced the study of medicine. I then went back to New Hampshire, and continued the study of medicine with the late Dr. G. W. Garland, of Meredith Bridge (now Laconia), and received the degree of M. D. at the Albany Medical College, in 1851.
In July ( I think ) of 1851, I commenced practice in Hamp- stead, where I remained four years. Jan. 1, 1852, I was married to Susan Elizabeth Morrill, daughter of the late Zebedee and Lucy (Potter) Morrill. She was born June 20, 1826, and died in Haverhill, Mass., February, 1873. Soon after our marriage we took letters from the church at Mere- dith Bridge and united with the church at Hampstead (Dec. 26, 1852). Some time after moving to Haverhill (April, 1858), we transferred our church relations to the Center church in Haverhill, and when the North Church was formed we were among the charter members, from which I have not withdrawn.
I was married, the second time, to Miss Lydia Helen Gould, of Boxford, youngest daughter of the late Daniel and Lydia (Batchelder ) Gould, April 16, 1874.
I remained in Haverhill until the spring of 1878, when I removed to Laconia, N. H., to care for my father, who was so old and infirm that I felt it to be my duty to go and attend to him. My health was also in such a condition that a change to the open air was desirable. After his death, in March, 1880, we moved to this town, November, 1880, at the earnest solicitations of my wife's parents, who were very old, and we still remain here. For some three or four years

after coming here I had an office in Haverhill, but finding it was affecting my health unfavorably, I gave it up, and have done but little professional work in dentistry or medicine, since we have as much land as I care for or am able to cul- tivate. I occasionally do a bit of dentistry for friends and prescribe for their ailments, and once in a while survey a piece of land, and write some and read quite a good deal, so that I am not idle ; I do not care to rust out.
I have never sought office, but I have held office a good deal of the time. I was a member of the school committee about three years in Hampstead, and for three years in Haverhill, and declined a re-election, and have nearly com- pleted my twenty-first consecutive year on the school commit- tee in this town ; a large part of the time I have been super- intendent in this town. I was twice elected representative to the Massachusetts Legislature from Haverhill, and was for several years a coroner while in Haverhill, and I believe I can truly say that I never spent a day in 'lectioneering for myself.
In closing I will add that I have long felt that I would like to visit old Hampstead, where I have not been for more than twenty-five years. I received invitations to the town and church celebrations, and in both instances had to forego the anticipated pleasure, for in that town I spent four years as happily as in any place I have ever lived, and I remember many kind friends, many of them gone.
While I do not remember the " little school girl " whom I relieved of odontalgia, I do distinctly remember your father."
