He was the most efficient in procuring the settlement of Mr. Cooke at a time when ministerial settlements by the town were becoming unpopular.

The two oldest sons came to Acworth in 1780, their outfit being a pair of oxen and sled, with which they brought their provisions, cooking utensils, and other appliances, for frontier life-the snow being then so deep and hard, that they were able to drive their team across lots and over fences on their journey to their new home. The father, mother, and remainder of the family came to Acworth the following month. SAMUEL was, for many years, an active and efficient officer in the Congregational Church. His grave and serious manner of conducting the weekly prayer-meeting in his district will be remembered as long as any sur- vive who were accustomed to attend them. Upon occasion, he would give medical as well as spiritual advice to his friends and neighbors in need. His opinion in legal matters was also much relied upon, and he was often selected as executor of wills. In short, his judgment, on all matters with which he was cognizant, was much trusted. He m.
