The making of brick was an industry that has been carried on quite successfully at different times. The first brickyard was near the present residence of Elijah H. Adams, and was owned and conducted by Rev. Ezekiel Rich for a short time, when it was abandoned. The brick used in building the Congregational church were made in this yard. Mr. Rich also owned another yard, which is that part east of the railroad, now owned by the Troy Briek Co. This became the property of Elisha H. Tolman, who manufactured brick for a few years. After this it passed into the hands of E. P. Kimball, who sold it to W. P. Chamberlain of Keene, and the clay was used in the manufacture of pottery at Keene. It then became the property of George W. Ball of Keene, who made brick for some years, when the business was abandoned, and it remained idle. About 1888 or 1889, the property was sold at auction for one hundred dollars, and was pur- chased by a company, of whom C. C. Abbey of Chicopee, Mass., and M. J. Sherman of Keene were the principal owners, and known as the Troy Brick Co. Considerable money was expended in erecting new buildings and sheds and putting in modern machinery and implements, and for several years a large number of bricks were made.
About 1836, Capt. Thomas Wright opened a yard near where George A. Starkey's trout ponds are situated, and carried on a successful business for twenty-five or thirty years. He did considerable business as a contractor, and made the briek for and built all the brick structures in the village with the single exception of the Congregational church.
In 1870, Moses E. Wright, Henry J. Brown and E. P.

Kimball formed a partnership under the name of Wright, Brown & Co., for the manufacture of picture frames and moulding. The frames were made in the brick shop now owned by C. A. Farrar, and the finishing done in part of Mr. Kimball's store. In 1873, a building was erected on the opposite side of the stream from the tannery, eighty by forty feet, two stories high with basement, and the business moved into it. The enterprise proved profitable for several years, but finally the firm was dissolved, and later H. J. Brown & Co. carried on the manufacture of brooms for some three or four years. This firm was com- posed of Henry J. Brown, Charles C. Smith and E. P. Kimball. For several years after this the building remained empty, until the spring of 1887, when it was leased by O. C. Whitcomb & Co. for the manufacture of boxes, and was being fitted up for that purpose when it was destroyed by fire, April 13, 1887.
About fifty years ago, James R., Alvah and Abner Stan- ley purchased the Hodgkins mill on East Hill, and making some additions and improvements, carried on business for many years, first in getting out chair posts, which were carried to Gardner by team, and later in the manufacture of clothespins and office chairs. They also operated a grist- mill during the time, and did the grinding for the sur- rounding country in Jaffrey, Marlborough, Fitzwilliam and Troy. This mill was afterwards purchased by George S. Colburn, and operated by him at different times, until it was burned a few years since.

During the years 1735 to 1760, the almost constant wars with the Indians made it a matter of importance that some direct way of communication should be estab- lished between Massachusetts and the frontier towns towards Canada. During this time Massachusetts claimed nearly all of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont as part of her territory, and sustained garrisons along the Con- necticut river, in townships that had been granted by that Province, to protect their frontier. These forts were at Number Four, or Charlestown; Great Meadow, or West- moreland; Great Falls, or Walpole; Fort Dummer, or Hinsdale; Upper Ashuelot, or Keene; and Lower Ashuelot, or Swanzey. In order to transport the munitions of war with the troops through the wilderness to these frontier forts, it would seem that roads for wheeled vehicles would be necessary and constructed. That such a road was made through this section of territory is undoubtedly true, although there is no record of it, only what has been handed down by tradition, therefore it is impossible to state the time it was built or the exact location, although its general direction can be given. It is quite probable that this road, or that portion of it in Massachusetts,
302
HISTORY OF TROY.
was built about 1735, starting from the vicinity of Fitch- burg, Mass., passing through Ashburnham, into Winchen- don. As the first settlement in this region was made about 1760, this part of the road must have been made at a later date, or else the first settler must have taken the trail from what had been the road some fifteen or twenty years previously.
The uncertainty of the location is due to the reason that, in succeeding years, wherever the road did not meet the wants of the people as a public highway, it soon went out of use, and wherever it did it was maintained like all other town roads, and soon its history became lost.
From Winchendon, it is believed that a branch extended in a westerly direction, passing through the southwestern corner of Fitzwilliam into Richmond, and continuing on to Fort Dummer. The other branch, and most important one, taking a northwesterly direction, passing through the entire length of Fitzwilliam, proceeded onward to Number Four, or Charlestown.
The Fitzwilliam historian says that in 1871 he easily traced the road for a considerable distance through the northwest section of the town, and that it was located a short distance west of the former residence of Gilbert C. Bemis, burned a few years since, and proceeding northerly, passed east of Rockwood pond and west of the present traveled highway. The track was grown up with trees, and some of them of very large size, but the sluices made across the water courses were standing as they were built, one hundred and fifty years ago. From the point above named it proceeded in a northerly course to Troy village, and taking a northeasterly direction, passed near the present residence of John Tatro, and on over the hill near the old Clark place into Swanzey.
It is highly probable that this road was continued on

through Vermont, and was used for the transportation of troops and supplies from Massachusetts and New Hamp- shire during the Revolutionary War for the military oper- ations that took place in the Lake Champlain region.
One of the older inhabitants of the town once remarked to the writer that undoubtedly some of the powder used in fighting the battle of Bennington was transported over this road.
POST OFFICE.
The records of the Post Office Department show that a post office was not established in Troy until about nine years after the incorporation of the town, the majority of the inhabitants receiving their mail through the post office at Fitzwilliam, which was established in 1805. The Marlborough post office was not established until 1823, or a little more than a year previous to Troy, the people of that town getting their mail through the office at Keene.
A post office was established in Troy, March 10, 1824, and Daniel W. Farrar was appointed postmaster.
The following is a list of the persons who have held the office of postmaster, up to the present time, with the date of their commissions :

HISTORY OF TROY.
FORMATION OF AN ENGINE COMPANY.
A fire engine company was incorporated in 1839, according to the following notice:
Be It Known, That Charles Coolidge, N. B. Rollins, Benj. F. Grosve- nor and fifteen others, inhabitants of Troy, have associated themselves into a Company to be known by the name of Fire Engine Company, No. 1, in said Troy, agreeable to the Laws of the State of New Hamp- shire.
Troy, N. H., Feb'y 20, 1839. WM. S. HUTCHINS, Clerk.
The names of the other members of the company can- not be given, because of the deficieney in the records.
In 1843, the company was composed of Edward Far- rar, D. D. Foster, Edwin Buttriek, J. F. Craig, Stephen Starkey, William Marshall, Charles Coolidge, John Wheeler, Samuel G. Whitney, Charles Carpenter, Milton Frost, J. How, Isaac Aldrich, George Fairbanks, N. F. Newell, A. R. Ballou and Charles Patch.
The annual meeting was held at the engine hall, Jan. 2, 1843. After the roll had been called the company voted to adjourn to the tavern of Capt. Stephen Wheeler for thirty minutes, probably for refreshments, after which the following list of officers were chosen: William Marshall, Clerk; Charles Coolidge, Captain; D. D. Foster, First Steward; John Wheeler, Second Steward; S. G. Whitney, Charles Carpenter and Milton Frost, Standing Committee. George Fairbanks, A. R. Ballou, Stephen Starkey, Charles Patch and J. F. Craig were new members appointed at this meeting.
The by-laws required the members to meet once a month, and for failure to be present at the meeting, each absentee was subject to a fine of twenty-five cents, or twelve and one-half cents each roll call, and fifty cents when absent from a fire.

MISCELLANEOUS.
At the next annual meeting, Eri J. Spaulding, E. P. Kimball, N. Whitcomb and E. Wheeler became members.
The records do not show at what time the first engine was purchased, but it was probably soon after the forma- tion of the company. This machine is one of the oldest fire engines in the United States. The date of its manu- facture is unknown, but at the time it was purchased was considered a great improvement over anything used for such purposes. The machine can still be used for throwing water. It was made by the National Hydraulic Company of Proetorsville, Vt., a company which was organized in

1829. The body of the machine is about six and one-half feet in length and two and one-fourth feet wide. The tank which holds the water is at the back end of the apparatus and is about four and one-half feet in length, two feet wide, and fourteen inches deep. The pump is of the rotary pattern and is operated by two cranks a little over four feet in length, there being room for four or five men on each crank. There is no suction hose attached, and the water was drawn from wells, cisterns or other sources, and carried to the machine in buckets or pails; a double

row of men, women and children passing these from hand to hand to the engine; the empty buckets being returned to the water supply in the same manner. There is a reel on the front of the machine for carrying the hose to be attached to the pipe, and in the front part is a compart- ment for carrying such articles as desired. For years this engine was kept in a place prepared for it in the north end of the shed attached to the store of C. W. Whitney.
The old engine having been in use for twenty years or more, had become nearly obsolete, and a more modern machine was necessary for the suitable protection of prop- erty against fire, and the company took measures to pro- cure one. They held a levee, or fair, Feb. 19, 1862, for the purpose of raising money to go toward purchasing a new engine, the proceeds of which amounted to one hun- dred and fifty-two dollars and twenty-four cents, individual members of the company subscribing in addition the sum of twenty-two dollars, making the total amount one hun- dred and seventy-four dollars and twenty-four cents. At the town meeting the following month, the town voted to raise a sum not exceeding three hundred dollars, to be put with the sum already raised for the purchase of a fire engine and hose, and Henry A. Porter was chosen the agent of the town for this purpose, to act in conjunction with C. B. Wright, agent of the fire company.
An engine was purchased of the city of Chelsea, Mass., as per the following report made by Agent Wright:
Paid City of Chelsea, for Hamilton, No. 4, $150 00
Fare to Boston and back, 5 00
Hotel bill and incidental expenses, 9 30

$174 30 Troy, May 10th, 1862.
The number of members originally required for a full company was about twenty, but in 1863 the number was

increased to forty. Soon after the purchase of the new engine, the company adopted the name of Hamilton Fire Engine Company No. 1. With increased membership and a larger machine, new quarters became imperative, and in 1864 the company petitioned the selectmen to call a meet- ing, to see if the town would vote to build a new engine house. The town voted to take the north part of the lower portion of the town house for an engine room, appropriating three hundred dollars to defray the expense

of putting the same in proper condition, under the direc- tion of a committee composed of E. P. Kimball, Stephen B. Farrar and David Wheeler.
During the past fifteen years, the town suffered consid- erably from frequent fires, the largest and most severe of which occurred April 13, 1887, when the tannery of R. M. Silsby, the picture frame shop and a house and barn belonging to the Troy Blanket Mills, were destroyed, and other adjacent property saved only after a desperate fight by the fire department.
The engine company did excellent work with the old Hamilton machine, and the escape of the village from
308
HISTORY OF TROY.
serious destruction, led to a discussion of better protection against fires, and in 1891 the town appropriated eighteen hundred dollars for the purchase of a steam fire engine. The matter was put in the hands of a committee, consist- ing of the three first members of the board of firewards, John H. Bigelow, Asa C. Dort and Franklin Ripley. A modern steam fire engine was purchased and the succeed- ing year a suitable hose wagon was procured. The pur- chase of the steamer necessitated the formation of a new
MONADNOCK STEAMER AND HOSE WAGON.
company and Monadnock Steamer Company was organ- ized. With the advent of the modern appliances for extin- guishing fires the necessity for Hamilton Engine Company ceased to exist and the company was disbanded after a continuous existence of more than fifty years. In the fall of 1893, a hydrant was put in near the town hall, and a line of pipe laid connecting with the pipe system of the Troy Blanket Mills. The water supply is obtained from the stream which passes through the center of the village and from numerous large reservoirs in different parts of the village.
With the modern apparatus and an efficient company

of firemen for the proper handling of the same, and an abundant supply of water which can be carried to all parts of the village, but few towns of the size of Troy have as good protection against conflagration.
FREEMASONS.
Freemasonry was established for the purpose of fraternal deeds of charity and benevolence, and has been cherished and perpetuated by a united brotherhood through centi- ries, until it has spread over the whole world.
When the pioneers of our country emigrated to America and established their colonies on our shores, there were laid the foundations of a great nation which was to insure social, religious and political freedom. Through all the vicissitudes and adverse circumstances of social and political revolutions the fraternity survived.
Churches and schools were in turn followed by Masonic lodges and halls set apart for their accommodation duly consecrated. Some of these lodges were chartered by the Grand Lodge of England, and others by the Mother Kil- winning Grand Lodge of Scotland. When independence was declared, a large number of citizens were Freemasons, and the order flourished in a land where there was liberty of thought and freedom of conscience; where the happiness of the human race was to be perpetuated through the tenets of "brotherly love, relief and truth."
After independence was secured, grand lodges were formed in all the original states and the order grew and prospered. In the sparsely settled regions, the membership in a lodge of Freemasons was a tie that was highly appreciated, and the history of the public men of those early times show that the mutual claims of "brother Masons" had a prominent part in politics. The assertion that one William Morgan had been abducted and drowned
310
HISTORY OF TROY.
because he had revealed the secrets of the order, raised a storm of anti-masonry in 1826 that swept over the country.
For political purposes, outrageous falsehoods and the most absurd statements regarding Freemasonry were cir- culated, and members of the order of the highest respecta- bility declared in vain that they had taken no obligation conflicting with their duties to God, their country, to society or themselves; but were obliged to succumb before the storm of political persecution and hundreds of lodges were temporarily closed. But after a few years had elapsed, Freemasonry, true to itself and its principles, arose purified and regenerated, and resumed the discharge of its duties. Anti-masonry as a separate political force came to an end after the presidential election of 1832.
The Grand Lodge of New Hampshire chartered July 23, 1806, Charity Lodge No. 18, F. & A. M., which was located at Fitzwilliam, and at the institution of the lodge the following officers were installed :
Joshua Harrington, Worshipful Master. Joseph Winch, Senior Warden. David (Daniel, probably) Farrar, Junior Warden. Benjamin Bemis, Jr., Treasurer. Joseph Carter, Secretary.
Benoni Shurtleff, Senior Deacon. Edward Perkins, Junior Deacon. Alexander Foster, Steward. Josiah Goldsmith, Tyler. Benjamin Bemis, Representative to Grand Lodge. Joseph Carter, Proxy.
Of these persons, Joshua Harrington and Daniel Farrar were residents of Troy. Joshua Harrington was Master of the lodge in 1808 and 1812-13.
The lodge was located in Swanzey in 1817-18, then moved to Troy, where it remained until 1826, when it was returned to Fitzwilliam. It remained in Fitzwilliam
311
MISCELLANEOUS.
until 1847, when it was removed to Jaffrey. It is now located at East Jaffrey. William Barnard, a resident of Troy, was one of the first Masons made in Charity Lodge. Members were admitted from these and adjoining towns and the lodge had about sixty members.
Quite a large number of the residents of Troy were made Masons in Charity Lodge after it was located in Jaffrey, and finding it inconvenient to go so far to attend the meetings, a petition was presented to the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire for the formation of a lodge in Troy, and a charter was granted to Monadnock Lodge No. 80, F. & A. M., June 13, 1866. The petitioners, who became the charter members, were John Clement, E. P. Kimball, A. G. Hurlbutt, Elliott Whitcomb, Amos J. Blake, D. M. Farrar, Silas Cummings, Abner Gage, J. J. Allen, Robert McDonald, Amos Gurnsey, A. B. Gates, A. J. Aldrich, Daniel B. Woodward, A. F. Boyce, Wmn. G. Silsby and Lemuel W. Brown.
The lodge was constituted, consecrated, and its officers installed, Aug. 23, 1866, by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, under the direction and super- vision of District Deputy Grand Master Edward Gustine of Keene, Bro. R. H. Porter of Keene performing the duties of Grand Master. The following are the names of those installed as officers :
John Clement, Worshipful Master. Silas Cummings, Senior Warden. Amos J. Blake, Junior Warden. Elliott Whitcomb, Treasurer.
Albert G. Hurlbutt, Secretary. William Butler, Senior Deacon. Enoch S. Aldrich, Junior Deacon. A. B. Gates, Senior Steward. Abner Gage, Junior Steward. Lemuel W. Brown, Tyler. J. T. Collins, Marshal.
