Politically Mr. Scammon departed from the traditions of his forefathers and became a Republi- can, and he has already achieved leadership in that party. He was a member of the New Hampshire legislature in 1903 and 1905, serving on the ju- diciary and other important committees. In 1907 he was chosen to the New Hampshire senate, and elected president of that body, an office which is likely to pave the way to future political honors.

From the last named city he went to New London, New Hampshire, where he purchased a farın of one hundred and twenty-five acres, and in addition to agriculture he conducted an extensive produce business. In politics he acted with the Republican party, and served with ability as a se- lectman in New London for six years. His re- ligious affiliations were with the Baptists. He mar- ried Sarah E.

Returning

to New London in 1890 he became associated with C. F. Shephard in the stage and livery business under the firm name of Shephard and Gould, and conducted the largest stable in New Hampshire. Selling his interest in the business to his partner in 1905, he turned his attention to the real estate business and at the present time has several houses in process of construction. His business ability and progressive tendencies are proving exceedingly beneficial to the town, and his success in his new field of operation is already assured. He partici- pates quite actively in civic affairs, having served as deputy-sheriff for the past three years, and at the present time he is chairman of the board of se- lectmen. In politics he is a Republican. While residing in Minneapolis he was chosen noble grand of the lodge of Odd Fellows, with which he was affiliated, and he is now a member of Heidelburg Lodge in New London.

He was prosperous and enterprising farmer. In his younger days he trained in a company of the state militia and for several years served as captain. It is said that he with his neighbors used to send annually to Medford, Massachusetts, for a barrel of rum to do their haying on, the division of the spirits being an event of note, and all getting more or less "happy."

He is a Democrat in political sentiment, and a member of the Patrons of Husbandry. Being a member of an ancient and honorable family, and possessing the instincts and breeding of a gentleman, his position in business circles and social life is a secure and pleasant one, but he cares little for place or political honors, and derives his greatest pleasure from the society of his own household and the cultivation of his acres.

Silva, Carlos, Moses Milton. Betsey, Zarilla, Nathan and Nancy. The original settlement of Nathan Gould was in the northwestern portion of the town of Newport, some four miles or more distant from the village of that name on the road from North- ville to Cornish Flat. It is now called "Fruit Farm" and is occupied by Albert J., one of his descend- ants.

(XII) Gideon (2), eldest son and second child of Nathan and Elizabeth ( Betsy) (Goodwin) Gould, was born March 3, 1796, on the Gould homestead, in Newport, and died there August 6, 1877. He spent his entire life on the homestead farm. He was a Democrat in political views, and a member of the Baptist Church. He was a progressive citizen of the town but never an aspirant for office. He was married to Sally Ward, of Croydon.

(XIII) Alfred J., the only living child of Gideon (2) and Sally (Ward) Gould, was born January 18, 1840, on the Gould homestead where he has always resided. He was educated in the district schools and Newport Academy. With a natural inclination for the occupation of his ancestors, he continued to reside upon the home farm and succeeded to the ownership of it upon his father's decease. He has devoted himself to agriculture, and by thorough cultivation has maintained the increased productive- ness of the family home. This originally embraced one hundred and fifty acres, but has been added to until it includes some four hundred acres, both father and son adding to the estate each in his time. Nearly seventy-five acres are kept in meadow and tillage, and the annual hay crop averages about seventy-five tons. The farm has always been de- voted to mixed vegetation and has had a reputation for the excellence of its dairy products during the last half century. It has been known particularly of late for the fine quality and large variety of its fruits. The breeding of dairy cows has been a feature in the original management of the farm, and it sustains from thirty to forty head of cattle, four horses and fifty sheep most of the time. The maple groves on this farm are well known, and the maple sugar which is sent to Boston and the superior syrup of which over four hundred gallons is pro- duced are above the average standard. Nearly a ton of pork is produced annually for the market. Mr. Gould has a taste for fruit culture, and the soil of his estate being particularly adapted to the growth of the apple tree he has taken pains to grait upon his stock the best variety and has also set many so that he now has on his farm over one thousand grafted apple trees, and his market product runs up to eight hundred barrels. He is considered an authority and is frequently consulted by the sur- rounding farmers in matters pertaining to fruit culture. Mr. Gould endeavors to keep abreast of the times and is a member of the Sullivan County Grange, No. 8, of Newport. He is also a member of Sugar River Lodge, No. 55, Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the same place. He is liberal in religious views, and is a substantial Republican in political principle. He has served four years as selectman of the town, and was representative in the legislature in 1889. He is president and one of the trustees of the Newport Savings Bank and a director of the First National Bank of Newport, and has long been regarded as one of the inost prosperous and successful farmers of the town.
