Mr. Streeter made his mark as a lawyer in what is known as "the great railroad fight of 1887," when he was one of the counsel for the Old Coneord railroad. The ability which he showed in that con- test led to his being made one of the general counsel of the Concord & Montreal railroad, and on the lease of that road to the Boston & Maine railroad, he was made chief counsel for New Hampshire for that corporation. His practice mainly for corporations is very large. In 1893 Mr. Streeter was elected as an alumni trustee of Dartmouth College. At the beginning of Dr. Tueker's administration in Mareh, 1893, he appointed Mr. Streeter chairman of the committee on buildings and improvements, and the great work of building the various structures whiel has physically reereated the college in the last twelve years have been carried on by the eom- mittee of which Mr. Streeter has been the head. The value of his services to President Tueker and and the board of trustees in that decade from 1893, which witnessed such a great advance in the affairs of the college, was recognized by his election in 1900 as life trustee of the college. An equally great publie honor was accorded to Mr. Streeter, in 1902, when he was made president of the New Hampshire Constitutional Convention, a body that meets only three or four times in the course of a century.
In politics Mr. Streeter is a Republican, and is regarded as exercising a very potent influence in the affairs of that party in New Hampshire. In 1892 he presided over the Republican State Con- vention which nominated Governor John B. Smith, and in 1896 he was sent as a delegate at large to the National Convention at St. Louis, where he served on the committee on resolutions and was a strong factor in securing the platform declaration in favor of the gold standard. In 1904 he was ehosen a member of the Republican National Com- mittee from New Hampshire. Mr. Streeter is a member of Eureka Lodge of Masons, also of Mount Horeb Commandery of Knights Templar, of Con- eord. He is also a Thirty-second degree Mason. He is a member of the Wonolaneet Club of Con- cord, of which he is president, and one of the most active spirits in the somewhat famous Snow Shoe Club, whose entertainment of distinguished men is widely known. He is also a member of the Derryfield Club of Manchester, and of the Univer- sity, Algonquin and Union clubs of Boston.
Mr. Streeter married, November 14, 1877, Lilian Carpenter, daughter of the late Hon. Alonzo P. Carpenter, chief justice of the supreme court of New Hampshire. They have two children: Julia, born September 8, 1878, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, in the elass of 1900, and Thomas Winthrop,

born July 20, 1883, a graduate of St. Paul's School, Concord, New Hampshire, in 1900, of Dartmouth College in 1904, and who is at present in the Harvard Law School.
This is a modification of one of
STANIELS the old New Hampshire names, continuously associated the history of the state almost from the first settlement within its borders. By some it is now spelled Stan- ion. The immigrant ancestor was probably a Dutch- man who became attached to the Puritan colony in Leyden and accompanied one of their expeditions to the new world. Ile was the ancestor of a numerous progeny, and the sturdy characteristics of his time are still conspicuous in his descendants.
(I) Anthony Stanyan, "glover," is found of record at Boston in 1641. He was born about 16II. and came to Massachusetts in the ship "Plant- er," in 1635. He was town clerk at Exeter in 1647, · and settled at Hampton the next year. He was one of the leading men of the latter town, and was dig- nified with the title of ")Ir.," a designation given only to the most respectable. He was chosen one of the selectmen March 25, 1649, and was again elected in 1662, 1668 and 1676. In 1650 seats were assigned to him and his wife in the church, and in the same year he drew share No. 63 in the ox common. He was a man of some substance, as indicated by his tax in 1653 of one pound, two shill- ings and four pence. He was at that time a com- missioner of the rates and was chosen to examine into the merits of the case of Maurice Hobbs against the town, and the next year was made one of the agents to manage the case on the part of the town. Two years later he was one of a com- mittee to "seek out help for the ministry." In 1665 he acted as agent of the town in exchanging its land for other with Nathaniel Weare. In July of that year he was constable, and in October was chosen to lay out the farm of Mr. Cotton at Hog- pen plain. He was chosen July 12. 1667, to keep the ordinary. March 3, 1670, he had a grant of one hundred and sixty acres of land. He was one of the signers of the Weare petition, and was repre- sentative in 1654 and 1680. He deeded liis estate to his son shortly before his death, which oc- curred in 1688. His home was south of Taylor's river, and the inventory of his personal estate amounted to forty-five pounds, eighteen shillings and two pence. His first wife, Mary, whose fam- ily name is unknown, died between 1650 and 1655. He was married (second) November 1, 1655, in Salisbury, Massachusetts, to Ann, widow of Wil- liam Partridge, of that town. She died July Io, 1689. The records show that he had two children, John and Mary. The latter married John Picker- ing, of Portsmouth.
(II) John, son of Anthony Stanyan, was born July 16, 1642, in Hampton, and died there Septem- ber 27, 1718, the home being in what is now Hamp- ton Falls. In his will he takes especial pains to ensure the retention of his property in the Stanyan family. He was selectman in 1692, 1699, 1701 and 1709. and representative in 1705. He was regarded by his contemporaries as a very good man, and is believed to have been a Quaker. He proposed that some of the common lands be set off to the Quak- ers for a parsonage, and this was done February 19, 17II. He was married December 25, 1663, to Mary Bradbury, of Salisbury, and they were the parents of eight children, namely: Mary, James. Jacob (died young), Joseplı, Melietabel, Ann, Jacob and Betsey.
(III) Jacob, fourth son of John and Mary
(Bradbury) Stanyan, was born March 31, 1683, in Hampton, and succeeded his father on the home- stead. He was selectman of Hampton Falls in 1723 and 1746. His first wife, Dorothy, died No- vember 16, 1723, aged about thirty-nine years. They were married October 29, 1704. The christian name of his second wife was Lydia and she was the mother of his youngest child, Sarah. Those of the first wife were: Elizabeth. Mehictabel. John, Mary, Joseph, Jacob, Dorothy, and Rachel and Ann, twins.
No record appears anywhere in New Hampshire concerning the lives of John, Joseph and Jacob, sons of Jacob Stanyan, of Hampton. One of these was possibly the father of the next mentioned. They probably settled in some of the towns of Rockingham county, where records are faulty or have been destroyed, possibly in Brentwood. The name disappears entirely from the records of Hamp- ton, soon after the middle of the eighteenth cen- tury.
(IV) Jonathan Stanyan was probably born soon after 1700, and may have been a son of Jacob and Lydia Stanyan. He is first found of record in Chichester, New Hampshire. where he died No- vember II, 1777. He was active in the Revolution- ary struggle. The first record of his service ap- pears in the list of commissioned officers of Colonel Thomas Stickney's regiment, March 5, 1775, where his rank is given as lieutenant. He was in Cap- tain Sanborn's company, a body of men raised in Colonel John McCleary's regiment of militia "to Joyn General Stark at Bennington, or the Com- manding officer there or thereabout." He was mus- tered and paid by Thomas Bartlett, muster and pay master for said men September 9, 1779, his advance wages being six pounds. He is credited to Chiches- ter as an ensign on the pay roll of Nathan San- born's company, in Colonel Stephen Evans' regi- ment, which regiment marched from the state of New Hampshire in September. 1777, to re-enforce the Continental army at Saratoga. This pay roll extended from the 8th day of September of that year to the 16th day of December following, at which latter date Ensign Stanyan had perished in the service of his country. He was a selectman of Chichester in 1775, and in the following year was a member of the committee of safety for that town. Tradition says that he lost a leg in the army be- fore his death. No record appears of his wife or children, except that the family record makes John Stanyan his son. The records of the pioneer period in Chichester are very meagre. He may have lived in that town several years before the time of the Revolution.
(V) John, son of Jonathan Stanyan, was born September 24, 1763, possibly in Chichester, and died in that town August 1, 1847. He was a successful farmer, and reared a large family. Several of his sons changed the orthography of the name to Stan- iels, and other retained the original spelling. He was married September 22, 1785. in Epsom, to Abi- gail Langmaid, who was born in 1767, probably in Chichester, and died February 23, 1846, in her eightieth year. His children were: Polly Lang- maid, Jonathan, Jolin, Carpenter, Samuel, James, Edward Langmaid. Hazen. Sally, Charles, Hiram and Jeremiah. Those who changed the orthog- raphy of the name to Staniels were Carpenter, James, Edward Langmaid. Hazen and Charles. Mary became the wife of William Martin. of Canaan. Their daughter Abigail married Horace Chace, of that town. (See Chase, X.)
(VI) Edward Langmaid, son of John and Abi- gail (Langmaid) Stanyan, was born February 3,

1800, in Chichester, and died December 6, 1864. in Roxbury, Massachusetts. He was reared upon the home farm in Chichester, and received the or- dinary education supplied by the common schools of his native town. Going to Boston he there engaged for some years in the grocery business, and subse- quently removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, where he was for many years a druggist, until failing health compelled him to abandon active business life. He was a man of quiet, domestic tastes, and did not assume to mingle in public affairs. He was a member of the Masonic order, and was a highly respected citizen. He was married (first) January 1, 1825. to Harriet Richardson, of Med- ford, Massachusetts, who died in 1837, and they had three children: Harriet, Augustus and Caro- line, all of whom are now deceased. The first died unmarried. Augustus was for many years a drug- gist in Lowell, and was the originator of "Hoyts German Cologne" which had a great popularity and very wide sale. The younger daughter became the wife of Captain James M. Upton, of Boston, where she died. Edward Langmaid Staniels was married (second), November 11, 1840, to Ruth Bradley, daughter of Isaac and Abigail (Tay) Eastman, of East Concord (see Eastman, VI). She was born March 22, 1812, and is still living at East Concord, where she took up her residence in 1869, in the house where she was born. She has one child who is the subject of the next paragraph.
(VII) Charles Eastman, only child of Edward Langmaid and Ruth Bradley ( Eastman) Staniels, was born December 27, 1844, in Lowell, Massa- chusetts, and received his preliminary education there and in Pembroke Academy. He graduated from the Washington grammar school of Rox- bury, Massachusetts, and was later a student for two years at the Roxbury Latin School. While in school he enlisted in March, 1862. in the Fifty- sixth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers, for service in the Civil war. Being a minor at this time, and his father being in feeble health and feeling the need of his son's assistance, he pro- cured the rejection of the latter from the service. The son then engaged in the wholesale gent's fur- nishing goods in Boston, and in 1865 went on the road as a commercial salesman. He soon became general agent for an establishment in South Boston which was engaged in the manufacture of paper collars, and continued this connection until 1874. He subsequently became associated as junior part- ner in the firm of G. D. Dows & Company, manu- facturer of soda water apparatus in Boston. After two years he sold out his interest in this concern, and returned to the employment of the paper col- lar manufacturers. On account of failing health he was obliged to practically abandon business for a period of about two years, and most of this time was spent in Concord. In 1886 he became general agent for New Hampshire and Vermont of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, and this association has been continuous to the present time. To this occupation he brought a ripeness of experience; an energy and business ability which built up the business in his charge to a large de- gree.
On his rejection for service in the Civil war, he became a member of the Old Tiger Regiment of Militia in Boston, and received a commission. Dur- ing the draft riots in 1864 he was in command of the detachment guarding the armory at Boyleston Hall for a period of ten days. He continued his connection with this organization until his removal from Boston. His interest in military affairs, how-
ever, has been continuous, and for many years he has been a member of the Amoskeag Veterans, the leading military organization of New Hamp- shire. He entered as a private in 1892, and rose through the gradations until he was major com- manding from 1903 to 1906, and refused a further election to that office. He is still an active mem- ber, and is in almost continuous service on various committees, as well as in the regular work of the organization. He is a past president of the State Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and also a past president of the White Mountain Commercial Travelers' Association, a very large body in New England. He was a member of the executive committee of the National Life Under- writers' Association for twelve years, and for many years has served as secretary and treasurer of the Republican city committee of Concord. He is a member of the board of trustees of the Public Li- brary of his home city, and is a member of the East Congregational Church of Concord.
Major Staniels was married October 22. 1874. to Eva Florence Tuttle, of Boston, who was born March II, 1852. in Lowell. Massachusetts, daughter of Gilman and Charlotte (Hackett) Tuttle, both of old New Hampshire families. The following chil- dren have been born to Major and Mrs. Staniel: I.

The Nuttings are a New England NUTTING pioneer family which was founded in Massachusetts at an early date in the history of that colony and it was transplanted in New Hampshire considerably more than a hun- dred years ago. Its representatives fought in the early Indian wars, were enrolled in the Con- tinental army during the American R'evolution, and supported the cause of the Union in the san- guinary civil strife of 1861-65.
(1) John Nutting, who came from the county of Kent, England, was residing in Woburn, Mas- sachusetts, as early as 1650, and was one of the petitioners for the town of Chelmsford, whither he went in the spring of 1655. In 1661 he removed to Groton, Massachusetts, as one of its original proprietors, and his dwelling constituted one of the five garrison houses. He was killed in an attack upon the town March 13, 1676, by a band of In- dians under the notorious John Monoco. August 28, 1650, he was married in Woburn to Sarah Eggle- ton, who returned there after her husband's death. She was the mother of seven children: Jolin. James and Mary, who were baptized in Chelmis- ford: Deborah, Sarah, Ebenezer and Jonathan, who were born in Groton.
(II) John. son of Jolin and Saralı (Eggleton) Nutting, was born in Woburn, August 25, 1651. The christian name of his first wife whom he married December II, 1674, was Mary, and on January 3, 1707-08, he married for his second wife Mary Park- er. He was a lifelong resident of Groton, and the father of: John, Daniel, Jonathan and Eleazer.
(III) Eleazer, son of John and Mary Nutting, was born in Groton, but the date of his birth is not

at hand. June 23, 1789, he married Abigail Davis, who was born in Groton, July 24, 1699, daughter of John and Mehitabel Davis. He had Abigail, Pa- tience, Eleazer, Sarah and perhaps others.
(IV) Eleazer, third child and eldest son of Eleazer and Abigail (Davis) Nutting, was born in Groton, January 21, 1725-26. He resided in Gro- ton his entire life. which terminated November 10, 1791. March 22, 1749-50, he married Sarah Farns- worth, who was born in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, November 27, 1727, daughter of Isaac and Sarah ( Page) Farnsworth. She bore him one son and several daughters.
(V) Eleazer, only son of Eleazer and Sarah (Farnsworth) Nutting, was born in Groton, Sep- tember, 11, 1760. He was a soldier in the Revo- lution, and the description roll states that he was five feet and five inches in stature. and of dark complexion. He married Sarah Kemp, who was born in Groton, February 5, 1764, and resided a few years in Pepperill, Massachusetts. In. 1786 he went to Society Land, now Bennington, New Hampshire, from whence he removed six years later to Frances- town, this state, and occupied a farm located on the county road in the vicinity of the White mill. He subsequently removed to Danville, Vermont, where his wife died August 26, IS24. and he married a sec- ond time, October 11, 1826, to Susannah Pettengill, who died March 2, 1839. His death occurred in Norwich, Vermont, January 7, 1851.
(VI) Allen, son of Eleazer and Sarah (Kemp) Nutting was born in Francestown, September 6, ISIO. He resided in Danville for a time. but re- turned to Francestown and remained there until his death, which occurred February 15, 1888. He was a farmer, a Congregationalist in religious faith and a Democrat who supported Abraham Lincoln and his war policies. His marriage took place April 28, 1835, to Mary Hopkins, who was born in Francestown, May 25, 1815, daughter of Ebe- nezer and Lucy (Deane) Hopkins, and a descendant on the paternal side of sturdy Scotch-Irish ances- tors. She bore him three sons and five daughters, namely: Rosamond Lucy, Abbey, Ebenezer Hop- kins. Maria Dole, George Dean, Charles Eleazer, Ella Floretta and Clara Belle. The mother died October 8, 1893.
(VII) Ebenezer Hopkins, son of Allen and Mary (Hopkins) Nutting, was born in Danville, June 16, 1840. His education was acquired in the pub- lic schools, select schools and Francestown Academy. In 1852 he went to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he found employment at the Amoskeag mills. In 1861 he enlisted as a private in Company C. Fourth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, was subsequently promoted to the rank of sergeant and served three years with credit in the war of the Rebellion. Shortly after his return from the front he resumed his connection with the textile industries as an employe at the Amoskeag mills, and was for a time employed in the Manchester post- office. After one and a half years as second hand in the weaving department of the New Market Mills, in July. 1867, he went to Hooksett as over- secr of weaving in the Hooksett, now Dundee, mills. In April, 1874, he was appointed agent of the Hooksett Manufacturing Company. Here op- portunity presented itself for the exercise of his business ability, which proved exceedingly bene- ficial to the corporation, and he continued in that capacity until October, 1897, when Ife retired per- manently from active manufacturing. For a num- her of years Mr. Nutting has acted as agent of the Blood estate, which comprises numerous and varied
1-12
interests in Manchester, and the intrusting of these properties to his exclusive management fully at- tests the implicit confidence in which he is held. He is prominent in Grand Army circles, having heen elected post commander of Louis Bell Post. Manchester, though business demands prevented his acceptance of the office. He is an active mem- ber of St. James Methodist Episcopal Church. hav- ing joined the church in Hooksett in 1874.

After graduating from the Francestown Academy he pursued a com- mercial course at a Business College in Boston, at the conclusion of which he accepted a clerk- ship in the Second National Bank, Manchester, and was subsequently advanced to the position of teller.
In 1899 he severed his connection with the Second National Bank to enter the employ of Messrs. Hay- den, Stone & Company, bankers and brokers, Bos- ton, and is at the present time occupying a re- sponsible position in the executive department of that establishment. He was at one time actively concerned in the interests of public education in Manchester, having served with ability upon the school board, and although his business prevents a continuation of his former activities, he nevertheless retains an earnest interest in that direction, as well as in all other matters relative to the welfare of the city. He is a member of the Franklin Street Church.

She is a prominent club woman, trustee and auditor of the Elliott Hospital and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The children of this tinion are: Georgia Merrill, Merrill Carpenter, Elmer W., Jr., and another child who is no longer living.
The following sketch of Joseph Wood WOOD and his son, Captain Joseph Wood, the centenarian, is taken from the New Hampshire Weekly News of Lebanon, New Hamp- shire :
Joseph Wood, the father of the centenarian, was born in Mansfield, Connecticut, in 1725, and married Anna Palmer, born in 1728. He was one of the proprietors of this town, and brought the first oaken tree that was transplanted from Mansfield, Con- necticut, to the new town of Lebanon. He emi- grated with his wife and children then born, and arrived at his adopted home about 1765, or 1766. His good judgment and clear foresight secured a large proportion of those beautiful interval lands lying on the cast side of Connecticut and south of the Mascoma rivers, extending casterly on the hill- side, including a fair portion of the upland. He built his first house on the south side of the King's highway, so called, which was laid out by the pro- prietors of the town, and ran casterly from the in- terval land through Lebanon, passing by the Porter place, the Aspinwall hill, the Abel Storrs and the Colonel Constant Storrs farms, to the Enfield line.

The location of the house was about seventy rods easterly from the present residence of Oliver L. Stearns. It was here where he began to clear the land and prepare a new house for his family, and where the younger portion of his children were born. When he first commenced his labors in the forest he was often frightened from his work by strange noises, which he supposed were from wild animals, and was seriously inclined to seek some other place for a settlement. After a few days of anxiety he ascertained that his neighbor, Zalmon Aspinwall. was the wild animal of the woods, who from mere sport had been practicing some of his wonderful imitations of the wolf and wild cat, thus amusing himself at Mr. Wood's expense. Being convinced that no danger was apprehended of a serious nature, Mr. Wood concluded to go on with his work, and did so, without any further distur- bance.
Mr. Wood possessed a strong constitution, was industrious, persevering and labored with a will and the power of a strong arm to fell the forest trees and open a farm, and with the assistance of some of his boys who were old enough to help him, he succeeded after a few years in accomplish- ing his purpose. Improvements and additions to his farm were made year after year, which with the extra help and increase of his family made it nec- essary to enlarge his present house or build anew. He finally concluded to erect a new one on the west side of the river road, near the intersection of the King's highway. He built it with a view to make it answer a double purpose, for a tavern and a farm house. Its completion was followed by the removal of his family from the old to the new house, which was soon opened as a tavern. and which was prob- ably the first one established around that part of the town. Like other taverns in that early day, it was no doubt rude in conveniences and uncere- monions in its management ; but nevertheless it was truly the travelers' home, where the landlord was glad to welcome a customer and the weary traveler was happy to find a resting-place. It seems that the bar-room was occasionaly a jolly place. One day a traveler called at the tavern, and while par- taking of some refreshments at the dinner table the sound of a fiddle was heard in the bar-room, and some footsteps began keeping time to the music, and as the fiddle increased to quick time, so the footsteps moved with greater violence. Mrs. Wood, who was present, threw up her hands and said, "it was a disgrace to the house, but she was glad to know that no one of her boys would be guilty of such a sinful amusement." At that moment the door flew open and one of her younger boys rushed into the room saying. "Mother! mother! brother John's dancing in the bar-room as hard as he can," which caused her to exclaim. "then he must be crazv."
