TOWN OF HOLDERNESS.

with a number of islands, appear like mirrors set in a frame-work of rugged ann verdant mountains. Asquam lake has its outlet through Little Asquam lake and Asquam river, into the Pemigewasset river. The most notable feature in the landscape is Prospect mountain, in the northern part of the town. Just east of this rises the long, narrow, separated ridge known as Asquam hills. Between these elevations lies the valley of Owl brook, which stream flows south, through Ashland, into Asquam river. On the west the town is bordered by the Pemigewasset, towards which, from the base of Pros- pect mountain, the slope of the country is gradual, and but little broken. Thousands of tourists visit the town each season, and more money is brought into the township by them than is realized from the farms, though there are many fine specimens of the latter. Indeed, this could not be otherwise, where then grand tout ensemble is a scene of hill and vale, and rippling waters, that delights the eye at every turn, it could not fail to draw to its inspection the admirers of Nature's handiwork in its most beautiful and attractive formn.

In 1880 Holderness had a population of 703 souls. In 1885 the town had ten school districts, and ten common schools. Its ten school-houses were valued, including furniture, etc., at $5,050.00. There were 134 children at- tending school, four of whom were pursuing the higher grades, taught dur- ing the year by twelve female teachers, at an average monthly salary of $18.50. The entire amount raised for school purposes during the year was $873.14, while the expenditures were $736.25, with F. L. Wallace, superintendent.

HOLDERNESS (p. o.) is a hamlet located on the narrow neck of land between Squam and Little Squam lakes.

The Holderness School for Boys is a popular boarding school, located in the extreme western part of the town, near the Plymouth line. It was estab- lished in 1877, and incorporated by an act of the legislature in 1878. The building in which the school was organized, once the well-known homestead of Chief Justice Samuel Livermore, was burned in the spring of 1882. This was replaced during the following summer, by two substantial buildings having much superior accommodations, and carefully planned to promote the health and comfort of the pupils. The main building is of brick, with slate and metal roofs, built with hollow walls, and the greater part of the floors and other inside finishing of hard woods. This building has accommodations for seventy pupils, the rector and his family, the masters, and all other persons composing the school household. The school-house, in which study and reci- tations are conducted, is a one-story framed building, with ceilings fourteen and sixteen feet high, well lighted, and fitted with thoroughly efficient appli- ances for ventilation. All these buildings are heated throughout with direct draught wood furnaces, and lighted with gas. Water is brought in wooden pipes from a mountain spring. Bath rooms are provided, with hot and cold water. Especial care has been taken to secure proper ventilation of the dor- mitories, and safety in the matter of drainage. The instructors are Rev. Frederick M. Gray, A. M., rector ; and Joseph A. DeBoer, A. B., Edward S.

Smellie & Mc Keen's saw-mill, in the southwestern part of the town, was built by him in 1884. It is operated by steam-power.

The first settlement in the original town was made by William Piper, in 1763, who came from Durham, or its vicinity. His settlement was made, however, in that portion of the town since set off to form the town of Ash- land. The next to follow him was Charles Cox, who located within the limits of the present town, on road I, upon the farm now occupied by Willis H. Calley. Emigration was slow, however, for between that time and 1774, only seven other settlements were made, viz .: By John Shepard, Bryant Sweeney, Samuel Eaton, Joseph Sinclair, Andrew Smith, John Herron and Samuel Livermore. Among those who came soon after 1774 may be mentioned John Porter, who became the first settled lawyer of Plymouth, Joseph Shep- ard, Jacob Shepard, Jacob Ellison, John Cox and Isaac Stanton. In 1775 the town had a population of 172 souls, and in 1786 the population had in- creased to 267 souls.

The first child born in the town was Nathaniel Piper, upon what is now known as the Drake place, on road 19. The second birth was that of Caleb Smythe, at the same place. The first town clerk was Samuel Shepard, who held the office forty-one years. The first lawyer was Joseph Burrows, and the first hotel was kept by Noah Cate. Robert Fowle was the first minister settled over the Episcopal church. That the town did not escape the anxie- ties common to all the early settlements during the Revolution, is attested by the following copy of a petition sent the general court for ammunition, etc., in 1776 :-

" We the Subscribers Inhabitants of the Town of New Holderness, having gain'd Intelligence, that a considerable Part of our Army in Canada have lately been forc'd by our unnatural Enemies (the British Troops in s'd Cana- da) to retreat, and relinquish their Ground ; and apprehending ourselves in the greatest Danger from the s'd Troops, and scouting Parties of Indians that may be sent down to annoy and destroy us ; and being in no Capacity for Defence do in Behalf of the s'd Town pray your Honours to send us by the Bearer hereof Mr Samuel Curry the necessary Powder, Musquet-Balls and Flints for thirty-three able and effective men, (belonging to the s'd Town) who are ready with their Lives and Fortunes to assert and maintain the american Cause ; and we your humble Petitioners as soon as may be will pay to your Honours, or the Committee of Safety for the Time being, an Equiv- alent for the same ; and as in Duty bound will ever pray &c

L ANDAFF, an irregularly outlined township, lies just west of the north- ern-central part of the county, in lat. 44° 9' and long. 71º 51', bounded north by Lisbon, east by Easton, south by Benton and west by Bath. The township was originally granted to James Avery and others, January 31, 1764 ; but they, it was adjudged by the governor and council, forfeited their grant by failure to comply with the requirements of the charter, and the ter- ritory was re-granted, to Dartmouth college, with the usual conditions and reservations, January 19, 1770. Settlements were made under this latter grant to some extent, roads opened, and a mill built at the expense of the

college, and on the 11th of November, 1774, the town was incorporated by the governor and council. After the Revolution the first grantees claimed that their alleged forfeiture was illegal, and maintained their claim; the col- lege had to abandon its title and lose what it had expended in making settle- ments. A compensation was made to the college, however, by the grant, February 5, 1789, of a tract of land containing 40,960 acres on Connecticut river. Landaff, originally a large town, has been changed by legislative enact- ment and shorn of a large portion of her territory, as follows : By an act passed July 2, 1845, it gained a small tract, which was severed from Lincoln and annexed to its territory ; but June 23, 1859, an act was passed by which all that part of Landaff lying northwest of Ammonoosuc river was annexed to Lisbon. This did not materially change the area, however ; but on July 20, 1876, the town was divided, its eastern half being erected into a separate township, by the name of Easton.

The surface of the town is rough and uneven, though it has a large amount of territory with a fine arrable soil and many highly cultivated farms, while the scenery it presents is romantic and charming. The principal elevations are Green mountain, Moody ledge, and Pond, Cole and Cobble hills. The principal stream in the northern part of the town is Mill brook, which flows across the town from east to west, emptying into the Ammonoosuc, which forms the boundary of the town for a short distance in the northwest- ern part. Mink brook also flows across the northern part of the town, emp- tying into the Ammonoosuc. The wild Ammonoosuc flows from east to west across the southern part of the town.

In 1880 Landaff had a population of 506 souls. In 1885 the town had seven school districts and seven common schools. Its seven school-houses were valued, including furniture, etc., at $4,535.00. There were 123 children attending school, twenty of whom were pursuing the higher grades, taught during the year by one male and eight female teachers, at an average monthly salary of $28.00 for the former and $ 16.66 for the latter. The entire amount raised for school purposes during the year was $574.72, while the expendi- tures were $555.00, with Hiram Clark, superintendent.

Hon. Amos C. Noyes, oldest child of Rufus and Hannah (Clark) Noyes, was born in Landaff, N. H., September 17, 1818. The name Noyes is of Welsh origin, but the ancestors of this branch of the family emigrated to. this country, probably from the north of Ireland, and prior to the Revolution settled in Rockingham county, N. H. Nathaniel Noyes, who married Mary Harriman, was a native of that county, but moved to Landaff shortly after the war, and was a farmer. He had a family of six sons and two daughters, all of whom attained maturity. Rufus, the seventh child, was born in Lan- daff, married Hannah Clarke, and, like his father, " tilled the soil." Their six children were Amos C., James C., Hannah M., Rufus H., Charles R. and Jane C. (Mrs. W. B. Blandin). Amos acquired a useful and practical educa- tion, and when sixteen years old commenced teaching school, and for several years was engaged in teaching in the winter, and in farm-work the remainder of the time. In 1844 he formed a co-partnership with Samuel Webster, of Barnstead, and Samuel P. Peavey, of Landaff, merchants and manufacturers. of potato starch, and was connected with them until the spring of 1847, when he disposed of his interest to his partners, and went to Shippen, Penn- sylvania, and was associated with Gen. D. K. Jackman, of Bath, and Fred- erick Crocker in the lumber business until the fall of 1849, when, lumbering being depressed,he went to Westport, on the west branch of the Susquehanna. Here he started a small store of general merchandise. To successfully deal with men and keep their " custom" and good-will requires not only a high degree of business ability, but honesty of purpose and integrity, and also a facility in reading character, combined with a practical common sense

that would insure success in a different sphere of activity, and when we say that the business soon grew to be the largest in that section, we must credit Col. Noyes with all these qualities. A year after his location at Westport he became interested in the production of "square timber," in which he continued during his life, and for many years he was its most extensive producer in that great lumbering district. He became the head of the firm of Noyes, Bridgens & Co., which bought and sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of square timber. From this fact and his established character for honorable dealing Col. Noyes was known along the Susquehanna at first, and afterwards over the whole State of Penn- sylvania, as " Square Timber Noyes." He was interested to quite an extent in contracts on the Philadelphia & Erie R. R., and the Low Grade division of the Alleghany R. R. In 1854 Col. Noyes married Rebecca J. Stewart, of Hill Hall, Pennsylvania. While a resident of New Hampshire he became lieutenant-colonel of the old 32d Regt. N. H. militia, and in Pennsylvania was commissioned colonel in the " State Guards." In politics Col. Noyes was Democratic, of that honest and stable Jacksonian type which holds the object of the nation to be the paramount good of the people, and, although he had no political aspirations, he was often brought forward and placed in positions of trust by his personal and political friends. In 1862 he was placed in nomination for the House of Representatives in his legislative dis- trict, comprising Clinton and Lycoming counties. Hon. James Chatham, Republican, had been elected the previous year by four hundred majority. Col. Noyes was elected by twelve hundred majority, making a change of six- teen hundred votes. In 1863 he was again nominated and elected by a large majority ; in 1868 he was a presidential elector; in 1870, by a new apportion- ment, his legislative district embraced the counties of Clinton, Cameron and McKean, and his party again nominated him for the legislature ; he was tri- umphantly elected, running far ahead of his party strength by his personal popularity ; in 1871 his district was changed and now comprised Clinton, Lycoming and Sullivan counties, and entitled to two members, and he was again chosen and re-elected in 1872. While in the legislature Col. Noyes was a working member, serving on the most important committees. Althoughi devoted to the interests of his party, and an energetic and influential leader, he never advocated any measures which he did not consider was for the good of the people. In 1875 he was one of the most prominent candidates for governor in the Democratic State convention, but, after a warm contest be- tween his friends and those of the opposing candidate, a compromise candi- date was selected. In 1877 Col. Noyes was nominated by the Democrats for State treasurer, and elected to that office by the largest vote on the ticket. This position he filled for two years with credit to himself and his constituents and with profit to the State. He was a man of the people, plain, unassuming, unostentatious. Ever true to his convictions of duty he was a true man and valued citizen, who faithfully discharged all obligations
