TENRY E. BRAWN, who for nearly forty years has been engaged in the hardware business at Lakeport, Bel- knap County, N. H., was born in Moulton- boro, Carroll County, this State, November 20, 1828, son of William and Elizabeth (Kame) Brawn. His great-grandfather and grandmother Brawn removed from Berwick, Me., to Moultonboro, when their son John was six years of age. John Brawn was an in- dustrious farmer. He left a large family of enterprising children.
His son William, the father of Henry E., was also a native of Moultonboro, where he bought land, which he improved into a farm. He was much interested in educational mat- ters, and served on the School Committee. His wife was a daughter of Samuel Kame, of Moultonboro. They reared ten children, of whom Henry E. is the youngest. Mr. Will- iam Brawn died at the age of sixty-nine years.
Henry E. Brawn attended school in Moul- tonboro, Sandwich, Centre Harbor, and Gil- ford, N.H. He found early in life that there is no royal road to learning; but, ambitious and brave, he was willing to climb steep and rugged pathways. After a short term of school in his own district, he travelled three miles to and from school, through snowstorms and drifts, to attend school in an adjoining district; and while a student at the academy he paid for his board at a farmhouse, about a mile away, by working on the farm nights and mornings. Later he worked on his father's
246
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
farm for about three years, teaching school winters, subsequently going to Massachusetts, where he drove a pedler's wagon for three years. After driving a team two years more on his own account, he, with a partner, estab- lished a hardware store in Lynn, Mass., under the style of Brawn & Morrill, which they suc- cessfully managed for three years. In 1858 he came to Lakeport, where he continued the same enterprise with excellent financial re- sults. In 1884 Mr. Brawn built a fine block, which is his present place of business. For a time he engaged in furnishing pedlers' sup- plies. He now manufactures general hard- ware. In the spring of 1894, in anticipation of his retirement from the arena of business activity, he purchased a farm. By his first wife, whose maiden name was Morrill, and who was a native of Gilford, Mr. Brawn had three children - a daughter, who is not liv- ing, and two sons, William H. and Edwin M., who will succeed their father in business. For his second wife Mr. Brawn married Miss Hyde, of Lynn, Mass. Fraternally, he is identified with Granite State Lodge, No. 1, I. O. G. T., of Lakeport, which he joined a number of years ago; and with Chocorua Lodge, No. 51, I. O. O. F. In religion he affiliates with the Unitarians, and in politics with the Prohibition party.
REEMAN G. SMITH, a prosperous farmer of Gilford, Belknap County, N. H., was born in Sandwich, Carroll County, June 3, 1858, and is a son of George W. and Mary (Clifford) Smith. His great- grandfather, Daniel Smith, came to New Hampshire from Massachusetts, and located in the west part of the town of Sandwich, where he took up two hundred and forty acres of wholly wild land, and with untiring patience
cleared it, and made of it a profitable farm. He married, and had a family of eleven chil- dren, some of whom died young. He lived to a good old age.
One of his sons, Samuel by name, remained on the homestead, and kept up the original farm, adding to it somewhat. He married Mercy Burleigh; and they both lived to be quite aged, he being eighty-two and she ninety at the time of decease. Their children were four in number -- Hannah B., George W., Benjamin J., and Daniel B. Benjamin is a blacksmith and wheelwright in Sandwich. He is married and has one child. Daniel B. is a prominent farmer of Centre Harbor, is married, and has two children. He has been Selectman of his town, and has held various other minor offices.
George W. Smith, after living for a while on the old Sandwich homestead, removed to Laconia, of which Gilford was originally a part, and now has a small farm of his own. He has been a prominent man of affairs, and was for years a leading member of the Meth- odist church, being Trustee of the same. He married Mary A., daughter of William Clif- ford, of Weirs, N.H., and she became the mother of four children: Frederick N., who died at the age of fourteen; Freeman G., the subject of the present article; Samuel B .; and Carrie G. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Smith are both living. Their son Samuel B. is an active, enterprising farmer of North Sandwich. He is married, and has two children.
Freeman G. Smith was born on the home- stead in Sandwich, and after an ordinary schooling went to Brentwood, and worked on a farm. When he was twenty-three years of age he came to Gilford, and, buying the place known as the Cotton farm, lived there for thirteen years. In 1894 he purchased the A. C. James property on Cotton Hill, where
247
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
he is at present. He carries on a first-class farm, and for the past five years he has also taken summer boarders.
Mr. Smith has always been actively inter- ested in town matters, and is an enthusiastic and prominent Republican. He was a dele- gate to the last three Republican State Con- ventions, and was a member of the Manchester Convention, which sent delegates in 1896 to the National Republican Convention at St. Louis. He is identified with several fraternal organizations. He joined the Red Mountain Lodge of Masons in Sandwich, and was trans- ferred to Mount Lebanon Lodge of Laconia. Ile is a member of Granite Lodge, No. 3, Ancient Order of United Workmen; also of Winnesquam Colony, No. 14, U. O. P. F., of Laconia; and of Mount Belknap Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, of Gilford. Both he and his wife belong to the l'eople's Christian Church Society, and the latter is a member of the People's Christian Church. It should be noted as greatly to Mr. Smith's credit that he is a strong advocate of temperance and an ardent worker for no license.
Mr. Smith was married December 21, 1881, to Emma L. Lewis, daughter of Charles Henry Lewis, of Townsend, Mass., and grand- daughter of John Lewis, of that town. Charles H. Lewis married Mary Gleason. They had six children - Martha, Fausie, Harriet, Emma, Jennie, and . Maud. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have no children.
OHN P. HUSSEY, a lumber manufact- urer of Gilmanton, who is also an in- ventor and a veteran of the Civil War, was born in this town, March 13, 1831, son of Reuben and Alice (Perkins) ' Hussey. His grandfather, Thomas Hussey, who was one of the carly settlers in Barrington, N.H., and a
prosperous farmer, owned a tract of land con- taining upward of two hundred acres. Thomas was the father of six children, one of whom died in infancy. The others were: Thomas (second), Joseph, Reuben, Martha, and another who became Mrs. Lake. Thomas (second) attended the Gilmanton Academy, and became a schoolmaster. He taught school in the winter season for several years, and, having settled upon a farm in Barrington, he tilled the soil in the summer. Finally, he abandoned teaching, and devoted his whole attention to agriculture. At the age of eighty years he was capable of doing an ordi -. nary man's work, and when ninety years old he reaped a bushel of rye in a day. His last days were spent in this town. He was the father of two sons and two daughters, and his second son, also named Thomas, is a profes- sional educator. Martha, the fourth child of the first Thomas, became Mrs. Waterhouse. Her husband was prominent in the old Whig party, by which he was elected a member of the legislature; and he also served in various town offices in Barrington. Joseph Hussey, who was a lifelong and respected resident of Barrington, and belonged to the Congrega- tional church, left one child.
Reuben Hussey, the father of John P., set- tled in Gilmanton. He married Alice Per- kins, daughter of Paul Perkins, an extensive farmer of Strafford, N.H. Paul Perkins was one of the leading residents of Strafford, which he served as Selectman and legislative Representative. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Hus- sey were the parents of four children ; namely, Sarah, Lydia, Richard, and John P. Sarah is now the widow of Walter B. Drake; Lydia, who has not married, resides in Northwood, N. H .; and Richard was accidentally shot while young.
John P. Hussey acquired a good practical
243
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
education. When a young man he began to learn the painter's trade. As the occupation proved to be injurious to his health, he took up shoemaking and farming. A natural apti- tude for mechanical pursuits, as remarkably manifested at the age of nine years, when he made a pair of ox wheels, soon diverted his attention to another occupation. In 1855 he began to manufacture ploughs upon a small scale, with tools belonging to his father. At first he was associated with a partner, who was accidentally drowned in 1856. A year later he was obliged to hire two assistants. Invent- ing and manufacturing ploughs have since been his occupation. In 1862 he enlisted as a private in the Fifteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, for nine months' ser- vice in the Civil War. Having completed his term, he returned home, and next day began work upon the series of ten different patterns of ploughs of which he is the inventor. In 1878 these inventions culminated in what is known as the Star Swivel Plough, which for several years has been in general use, and held the lead throughout the New England States. This plough, which has a reversible blade that saves much labor in handling, has taken sixty-three field premiums at different agricultural fairs. In the notable contest, held at the last New Hampshire State Fair in Dover, Mr. Hussey won the first prize by ploughing one - eighth of an acre of ground without placing his hand on the implement. He manufactures about three hundred Star Swivel ploughs per annum, and in the past eleven years his sales to one dealer in Port- land, Me., have amounted to eighteen thou- sand dollars. Mr. Hussey is also the in- ventor of the King of Valley Water Wheel. . This wheel, which presents the appearance of one solid piece, makes two hundred revolu- tions per minute, and maintains a uniform
pressure at every point. He is also likewise interested in mill business, and is associated with Elmer J. Lord in the manufacture of lumber.
Mr. Hussey married Olive A. Foss, daughter of John Foss, who is a prosperous farmer of Gilmanton, and a ship-carpenter by trade. Her maternal grandfather, Isaac Clough, was one of the pioneer settlers of Gilmanton. John Foss was the father of five children, of whom Alvah and Mrs. Hussey are the only survivors. Mr. and Mrs. Hussey were born in the same year, were classmates in the same school, and attended the same church and Sunday-school. An attachment formed in childhood ripened into a stronger tie, and the result was a happy marriage. They have since known affliction, as the two children born to them have been taken away. Alice Mabel died at the age of two years, and their son Herbert at the age of twenty-six ..
ENRY S. DAVIS, of Farmington, a shoe cutter by trade, was born May 22, 1849, in the neighboring town of Durham, son of Thomas N. and Elizabeth C. (Seaward) Davis. He is of English de- scent, and a grandson of Noah Davis, who was a soldier of the War of 1812, and a lifelong resident of Lee, N. H.
Thomas N. Davis, born in 1813, in . the town of Lec, passed the larger portion of his life in Strafford County, having been engaged in farming in Lee, Durham, and New Durham. In his later years he resided at New Durham, where he died in 1890, at the age of seventy- seven. On August 20, 1862, he enlisted in Company A, Twelfth Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, for three years' service in the Civil War; receiving his dis- charge June 22, 1865. He participated in the
249
BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. In the latter engagement he received a gunshot wound in the head, fracturing his skull, and another of a less serious character in the shoulder. He married Elizabeth C. Seaward, who bore him five children, four of whom are living. These are: Melissa, the widow of George H. Hovey, of Woburn, Mass. ; George F., of Ellensburg, Wash .; Henry S. ; and Alonzo I., of Farmington. George F. served as Corporal in the war in the same company as his father, and participated in nearly all the battles in which the regiment was engaged, taking active part as sharpshooter during the siege of Petersburg, Va. He was mustered out with the regiment in June, 1865.
Henry S. Davis received his education in the public schools of New Durham and Farm- ington, which he attended until the age of seventeen. He then learned the shoe cutter's trade, and worked at it for several years, locat- ing in Farmington in 1873. A man of sterl- ing character, energetic and determined, he has met with signal success. He is a stanch Republican in politics, and for four years he has been Town Clerk.
On July 2, 1877, Mr. Davis married Miss Nellie M. Lucas, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Lucas, of New Durham. He is a mem- ber of Woodbine Lodge, No. 41, I. O. O. F., of which he has been Secretary for the past twelve years; of Mad River Encampment, I. O. O. F .; of Minnehaha Rebecca Lodge, No. 11 ; and of Harmony Lodge, No. 1I, K. of P. In each of these lodges Mr. Davis is an active worker and a past officer, much of their prosperity being due to his efforts while serv- ing them in an official capacity. He is also a member of the Grand Lodge, K. of P .; of the Grand Encampment and Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., of New Hampshire; and for the past seven years he has served on the Grand
Lodge, I. O. O. F., Committee on By-laws of Subordinates.
ENRY H. TANNER, a wide-awake business man of Farmington, and one of its most enterprising and thrifty farmers, was born July 8, 1840, in Sandwich, Carroll County, son of Joshua W. Tanner. He is a lineal descendant of John Tanner, who, having come from England some time prior to the Revolution, served in that glori- ous struggle as master's mate on three differ- ent war vessels, and was at one time captured by the British and imprisoned at Halifax, N. S. After the independence of the colonies had been established, John located in Roches- ter, this county, where his son, John, Jr., the grandfather of Henry H., was born and reared. Joshua W. Tanner, who was born here July 10, 1809, grew to manhood in this town. After his marriage in June, 1838, he removed to Sandwich, where he carried on general farming, lumbering, and dairying for many years, and died in December, 1875. His wife, in maidenhood Miss Sally Ham, was born in Farmington, February 17, 1814, daughter of Thomas Ham. They had a family of six children, of whom Sarah E., who resides in Farmington, is the only other survivor.
