cert and ball was given in the building, under the direction of a committee of arrangements as follows : Samuel C. Clark, Benjamin F. Drake, James E. Stone, Albert D. Plummer, Edwin D. Ward, Thomas Ham, James T. Minchin and John S. Crane. Col. Natt Shackford was floor director, and music was furnished by Eastman's Orchestra of Concord, with Bela S. Kenniston as prompter. Quite a sum was realized, which it was proposed should go toward the pur- chase of a bell to hang in the tower of the mill. This project fell through, and on the organization of the public library of Lakeport, in 1890, the committee applied the money to the purchase of books for that institution.

CHAPTER XVIII.
SECRET SOCIETIES-GOOD TEMPLARS.
The first secret society ever organized in the village was the Good Templars. Early in the year 1862, Reuben C. Sanborn, at that time a member of the order in Massachusetts, secured the names of ten persons to an application for a charter for a lodge in Lake Vil- lage. The petitioners for the charter were : Reuben C. Sanborn, Martha A. Sanborn, Joseph L. Odell, Abby S. Odell, John Aldrich, Mary E. Aldrich, Susie M. Cole, W. Scott Weeks, Frank I. Patch, Ellen M. Cole.
On Thursday evening, February 28, 1862, Hosea Jewell, of Cam- bridge, Mass., assisted by Theodore 1. Sanderson, of Fitchburg, Mass., instituted Granite State Lodge, No. 1, I. O. of G. T., in the hall over the store now occupied by Charles F. Locke. All the above-named charter members were present, except Ellen A. Cole, who was initiated two weeks later. On the evening of March 6 nine persons were initiated, only one of whom retains membership at the present time.
For three years this was the only Good Templars lodge in the state, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the World, with Rev. George F. Clark, of Stoneham, Mass., as the Deputy. October 11, 1865, the representatives from thirteen lodges in the state assembled in the hall of Granite State Lodge, when Deputy Clark, assisted by William Alcott, of Nashua, and Alonzo O. Dillingham, of Manchester, who were former members of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, instituted the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, which was incorporated July 11, 1879.
ODD FELLOWS.
The next in order of organization was Chocorua Lodge, No. 51, 1. O. of O. F., with five charter members-Charles J. Pike, Eben F. Woodman, Edward L. Hunkins, William O. White and Charles I .. Tupper. The lodge was instituted May 27: 1869, by Charles H. Brown, of Hillsborough Lodge, Manchester, in the hall over Charles

F. Locke's store, on Elm street. They occupied this hall until the completion of a new hall in the Piper block, on Fore street, which was occupied by them about two years in conjunction with the Good Templars ..
On the completion of the Weeks block, on Railroad Square, cor- ner of Clinton street and Union Avenue, they secured a suite of rooms in the new block better adapted to their wants. In the de- struction of Weeks Block by fire, March 9, 1881, they lost all their furniture and paraphernalia, save only the charter, which was saved through the strenuous efforts of William H. Watson, who, although not a member of the order, plunged through water, fire and smoke, and brought out the precious document.
After this fire temporary quarters were obtained in the Morgan block, on Union Avenue, until the building of Moore's Opera House block, on the site of their old hall. In this building a hall was fin- ished with necessary ante-rooms especially designed for their con- venience, into which they moved. In October, 1893 a syndicate of Odd Fellows purchased the block, thereby making the lodge secure in a permanent home of its own. The lodge now has an active membership of over two hundred.
THE REBEKAHS.
In connection with Chocorua Lodge is a lodge of Rebekahs, which was organized January 15, 1891, by John Bourlette, of Concord, as Hannah Frances Lodge, No. 41, in honor of a deceased sister of Dr. Joseph C. Moore. In acknowledgment of his gratification, Dr. Moore presented the lodge with a complete outfit of working para- phernalia. They have a degree team for initiatory work which has a reputation second to none in the state, and which is in great de- mand with other lodges for exhibiting the degree work.
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
Darius A. Drake Post, No. 36, G. A. R., was named for one of the noble sons of Lakeport. Darius A. Drake was a member of Company D, Fourth New Hampshire regiment. He was mustered into the United States service September 18, 1861, and died of wounds at Morris Island, South Carolina, August 22, 1863.
The Post was instituted October 17, 1877, by Department Com-
78
LAKEPORT, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
mander Charles J. Richards, assisted by S. A. Oliver, J W. Laskey, Josiah Gove and George H. Hough of Pittsfield, and Timothy W. C'hallis of Manchester. The charter bore the names of twenty-five men who had honorably served their country in the civil war, viz : Nathaniel Shackford, Francis H. Davis, Charles W. Pickering, James D. Sanborn, Levi Ward, Ebenezer M. Buzzell, Henry M. Whiteman, Charles S. Tyler, Comford Merrill, Charles H. Davis, John H. Dow, Albert A. Corliss, George W. Hicks, Joseph J. Whitten, Charles E. Buzzell, Martin A. Haynes, John M. Sanborn, John B. Hendley, El- bridge E. Webster, Wallace E. Woodworth, John P. Lane, Winthrop I. Smith, Henry E. Emery, Hanson Gray, Albert H. Davis.
For a time the Post meetings were held in the hall comprising the upper story of the Morgan building. Upon the completion of the Brawn Block the Post leased the hall therein, which they occupied until that Sunday night-November 25, 1889-when the block was gutted by fire and they lost about everything but their charter, and case of war relics of very great value and interest. The Post occu- pied for a time a hall in the Opera House block, jointly with the Good Templars, until they moved into their present [ 1915] palatial quarters. This building was the old engine house of Niagara 1, formerly standing at the east end of the Gold street bridge, which was given to the Post by the city, was removed to the west side across the bridge, and was remodeled, fitted and furnished at an expense of nearly three thousand dollars.
The Post has two prosperous auxiliary organizations. Darius A. Drake Corps, No. 14, W. R. C., was organized August 16, 1895, with Mrs. Hannah M. Abbott as its first President. Martin A. Haynes Camp, No. 34, Sons of Veterans, was organized in 1908.
Through the generosity of Dr. Joseph C. Moore, this Post is the possessor of a large burial lot at Bayside Cemetery. Upon it is the modest monument erected by the town of Gilford to the memory of its soldiers in the civil war. The town appropriated five hundred dollars for this purpose, and the Post expended two hundred dollars for grading and curbing the lot. The monument was formally ded- icated Monday, July 5, 188o, in the presence of an immense con- course of people. It was unveiled by Post 37, of Laconia, and the dedicatory services were conducted by the Department officers. Col. George Bowers, of Nashua, was Department Commander. The

parade from the village to the cemetery was far-and-away the most imposing ever seen in these parts, the following organizations, be- sides bands and drum corps, being in the line : Belknap Rifles, of Laconia; Nesmith Rifles, of Franklin ; Winnipesaukee Stars, of Center Harbor ; Fire Engine Companies of Laconia and Lakeport ; Grand Army Posts of Lakeport, Laconia, Dover, Pittsfield, Ashland, Franklin Falls, Bristol, Plymouth and Alton.
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Endicott Rock Lodge, No. 23, Knights of Pythias, was organized March 13, 1883, with eighteen charter members-George M. M. Smith, John H. Elkins, William I. Burnham, Charles F. Locke, Charles E. Buzzell 2d, Fred O. Smith, O. Frank Griffin, Albert C. Moore, Lucian M. Folsom, F. Bert Bartlett, Milan O. Shute, O. Merton Merrill, Samuel Holt, Fred C. Sanborn, 'Thomas White, O. R. Hatch, Edwin H. Bean, Robert Roberts. Alonzo T. Pinkham, of Dover, was the installing officer, assisted by Frank J. Pillsbury, of Concord, and members of Belknap Lodge, No. 20, of Laconia. The order is now in a flourishing condition, having a membership of upwards of 125. Charles F. Locke was the first Chancellor Com- mander, has represented this lodge in the Grand Lodge, and was honored by being elected Grand Chancellor in 1890.
Connected with this lodge is Endicott Rock Assembly Pythian Sisterhood, which was instituted May 12, 1895, with Mrs. Hannah M. Litley as Chancellor Commander.
OTHER SECRET SOCIETIES.
Besides the above, there have been some ten or a dozen other organizations here, of which, owing to the reticence of the members, we can give no extended account. We can only give the names of each, with date of organization and name of first presiding officer.

CHAPTER XIX.
CAPTAIN JOSEPH L. FOLSOM, U. S. ARMY.
[ Hon. George Gilman Fogg was a notable figure in New Hampshire political life in the mid- period of the Nineteenth Century. In the strenuous years of the slavery agitation leading up to the Civil War, he edited and published the Independent Democrat, at Concord, the leading anti-slavery paper of the state; and later he was our Minister to Switzerland by appointment of President Lincoln. Mr. Fogg was a native of Meredith, and what is of particular interest in this connection, he knew and was associated with the early Folsoms, and was the boyhood com- rade and friend of one, at least, of the sons of Abraham Folsom, the pioneer. He has left ou record a touching tribute to this triend of his youth-one of Lakeport's most gifted sons. Yet how many are there among those now peopling this place of his birth and home of his youth who know even that such a man as Captain Joseph L. Folsom ever lived? We copy the fol- lowing from the issue of the Lake Village Times dated May 20, 1871 .- EDITOR. ]
Hon. George G. Fogg, now on a visit to the Pacific coast, is giv- ing the results of his travels and observations in a series of letters to the Independent Democrat. In his account of a visit to the Lone Mountain Cemetery, near San Francisco, where sleep Broderick, and Baker, and many others whose names are illustrious in our history, he pays the following tribute to one who was doubtless well known to many of our readers :
" In the same cemetery lie the remains of still another, whose too early death drew tears 'from eyes unused to weep.' We well re- member that it drew tears from our eyes, as it did from many others in New Hampshire. We allude to Captain Joseph L. Folsom, a na- tive of Meredith, and the son of Abraham Folsom, proprietor of what was known, forty years ago, as Folsom's Mills, at what is now Lake Village. Captain Folsom was the youngest, or the youngest but one, of his father's sons. After nearly fitting for college at New Hampton Institution, he was appointed a cadet at West Point, where he graduated, at the head of his class, in (we think ) the year 1840. He was soon after appointed a teacher in that institution-a posi- tion he filled so acceptably that the government would not allow him to leave, even to take part, as he desired to do, in the Mexican war. At the close of the war, however, in about 1847, he was, on his ear- nest request, ordered to California, where he remained until his death, and where, by his energy, his sagacity, and his force of char- acter, he became the leading man in the new territory and state.

LAKEPORT, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
His was the mind to suggest, and his the honor to push forward every public and private enterprise demanded by the crowding future of a country whose greatness he foresaw with, perhaps, more clear- ness than any other man. But he was cut down in the early noon of his life. He died the first citizen, and was believed at the time, the wealthiest man in California. His death (from heart disease) oc- curred at the Mission of San Jose, near this city, on the 19th day of July, 1855, leaving an estate valued at between one and two mil- lions of dollars, all of which was given by will to his mother, sister, and nephew in New Hampshire -- not a dollar of which, if we are rightly informed, did they ever receive.
" It is doubtful if there is a darker page in the early history of San Francisco and California than is to be read in the story of 'the ways that are dark' by which Captain Folsom's great property was diverted from all the purposes of his will, and from those he most loved. General Halleck, with two others, were named in the will as execu- tors of the estate. They proved executors, indeed ! With the aid and connivance of corrupt officials, the estate melted away and was stolen, or eaten up, by fraudulent bills of costs and fraudulent judg- ments, until it was rendered bankrupt. Much of it ultimately passed into the possession of General Halleck and his associates, where it is, to-day, worth ten times its estimated value at the time of Capt. Folsom's death. We do not believe any of its present honorable possessors ever give a thought to that mother and sister in New Hampshire (we know not if they are now living ) to whom that prop- erty rightfully belongs.
"No marbie monument tells the stranger where sleeps Folsom. But one of the most flourishing towns in California bears his name, as does one of the principal streets of San Francisco, where many of the early pioneers remember him as a friend and brother. As such we remember him, when we were boys and school-fellows to- gether. The manly man began life, as all such must, by being a manly boy. Who of our New Hampshire readers will not pardon us for tarrying to pay this tribute, and drop a tear upon the grave of the friend and comrade of our boyhood days?"

CHAPTER XX.
LAKEPORT IN THE REBELLION.
Lakeport's part in the Civil War was a creditable one. Mr. Whit- tier left as his record a bare list of names of the Lake Villagers who participated in the struggle.
