1864 to 1869 he was employed as clerk in stores at Centre Harbor, Ply- mouth, and Great Falls. In 1869 he succeeded his father, James French, in mercantile business in Moultonborough, which he continued until December, 1884, when he retired.

Augustus P. Jaelard, born in New York city May 23, 1834, married Harriette S. Lee, daughter of Nathan M. Lee (an old resident and mill-owner of this town), March 6, 1859.

His father, Sebastian Jaelard, was born in Metz, France, 1800. Augustus commenced business in New York with his brother Daniel as importers of fancy goods, perfumery, and hair goods. Daniel having died in 1860, he continued the business alone until 1862, when he sold out to settle his brother's estate. He moved to Moultonborough in the summer of 1863 and took up farming until he bought the store and business of Warren & Thurs- ton in 1866, where he is still in trade; he bought the hotel of Alvin Peavey at the corner in 1868 and has made a business of keeping summer boarders, in connection with his store, ever since. He has held several offices in town ; was appointed postmaster under Cleveland's administration, August 1, 1885. He joined Red Mountain Lodge No. 68, F. & A.

Captain Lemuel B. Mason was born in Durham, February, 1759. Being in infancy bereaved of his parents and having no brother or sister, he was left mostly to the care of strangers ; in consequence his early education was entirely neglected. He was only sixteen years of age when the war of the Revolution commenced, yet he resolved to have some part in achieving independence. This resolution was strengthened by the roar of the cannon at the battle of Bunker Hill, the sound of which reached the place where he then resided. He joined the army immediately after this battle and

remained in the service until the close of the war, a period of about eight years. He was in the army of Washington when he retreated from Long Island, and, barefooted and ragged, continued with him in his retreat through the highlands in New Jersey, the army then being reduced to three thousand men. Washington's army at this time suffered its darkest hours and was reduced to its lowest numbers. The soldiers were mostly barefooted, and in their retreat left their trail in blood. In that dark hour, when patriot hearts quailed, Captain Mason was one of the faithful few who stood by and guarded the Father of our Country. With him he fought in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, being the first battles that gave encouragement to our arms and hope to the hearts of Americans. He was also at the battles of Monmouth, Stillwater, and the surrender of Burgoyne, and also with Sullivan in his expedition to the " Indian country."

When Captain Mason enlisted he could neither read nor write, having had but three days' schooling in his life. Soon after he enlisted he was appointed sergeant, and after serving in that capacity for some time was made clerk, which he accepted only on condition that his captain would become his teacher in reading and writing. This officer readily consented, and in three weeks Sergeant Mason was able to make out his return in his own hand. Soon after he received a commission as lieutenant, in which capacity he served until the close of the war. After receiving his commission he was much of his time in command of scouting parties engaging in skirmishes with the Indians, in which he many times made but hairbreadth escapes. At one time his scout of thirty men was fired upon from an Indian ambush and the whole party slain but himself and two others, he saving himself by crawling under the turned-up roots of a tree and remaining partially in the water until dark. Once a ball passed through his hat; at another time one through the skirt of his coat, yet he was never wounded. While making a running retreat from a large body of Indians at one time, his faithful dog was shot at his feet, when he immediately turned, seized and shouldered him, bearing him off while the enemy were close upon him ; and when inquired of why he exposed himself to such danger for a dead dog, he replied that the Indians should not have his scalp.

After Washington had made his farewell address Lieutenant Mason returned to Newington, where he found he had been despoiled of the patri- mony inherited from his father; not receiving any compensation for his services in the army and deprived of his inheritance, he was poor indeed. Soon after his return he married Sarah Nutter, who died three years after, leaving no children. Shortly after he moved to New Durham, where he selected a wild lot of land and commenced a clearing. He there married Mary, daughter of Ephraim Chamberlain, with whom he lived sixty-five years, having a family of thirteen children, all of whom lived to adult age and to

be settled with families. Two only, Benjamin M. and Dr W. H. H. Mason, now survive.

Captain Mason removed from New Durham to Alton, where he served several years as selectman, and from there to Gilford. In the War of 1812 he was commissioned captain of a company of volunteers under Colonel Davis, and served one year. He again returned to Gilford, where he remained until the pension aet of 1818 placed him beyond the indigence in which he had lived for many years. This act of Congress gave him twenty dollars per month and subsequently (many years previous to his death) his pay was increased to twenty-six and two-thirds dollars per month. As early as 1836 he became a warm advocate in the temperance reform and a strict observer of its pledge. In 1838 he received a justice's commission. In 1839 he became connected with the Freewill Baptist church in Sandwich, and was a worthy member up to his death, which occurred March 30, 1851, at the age of ninety-two years and two months. His wife died the February previous, aged eighty-two years.

Benjamin M. Mason was born in the town of Gilford, October 25, 1811, and is now in his seventy-seventh year, being the twelfth in the family of Lemuel B. Mason, all of the older members having died in previous years. The only surviving members of this family are B. M. and W. H. H. Mason, both having resided in Moultonborough from early years. Benjamin M. Mason, with his father, moved from Gilford to this town when in his eighth year, where he has lived and labored on a farm the principal part of the time since. His winters have been devoted to the instruction of the distriet schools in this town and Sandwich until within a few years; also, in connection with these, singing- schools have been taught by him in Centre Harbor, Sandwich, and Moulton- borough. He instructed the public schools at Moultonborough Corner twenty- seven terms, was superintendent of the town schools about thirty years, and was school commissioner for Carroll county in 1855. He has served as one of the trustees of the Normal School at Plymouth, and was road commissioner for Carroll county two years. He represented his town in the legislature of the state in 1855 and 1856. He was county treasurer in 1863 and 1864, and was moderator, seleetman, and treasurer for several years. In July, 1838, he mar- ried Ann E., daughter of John G. and Joanna Brown. She died April 5, 1885, leaving two surviving children, William II. and M. Ella. A second child, George L., died August, 1851, aged ten years.
