Ezekiel Wentworth, familiarly known as "Squire " Wentworth, lived about two miles and one-half east of the Corner, on the place where Charles Hodg- don lived in 1886. He was a farmer ; a man of fine appearance, tall, and with an open, cheerful countenance, and was very popular. He represented Ossipee in the legislature fourteen years, and held numerous town offiees. He was a prominent Freemason, and ever ready to aid and assist any one in need. He disappears from public life in 1830.
Daniel Wentworth was born at the " back of the Pocket ; " he lived on the old David Goldsmith place near the county farm. He was a medium sized man, of light complexion, a farmer, and a trader in the John Brown store at the Corner. He did a considerable business in making clothing, and was often entrusted with town affairs. He was a quiet, industrious man in whom every one placed confidence, and a prominent member of the Freewill Baptist church.
Ichabod Colby came here early in the century from Madbury or Lee, and located near the Corner, where James W. Canney now resides. He was a farmer and lived on the place until his death about 1835. He had a large family, of whom Moses and Benjamin became physicians. Benjamin settled in Saco, Maine. Another son, John T. G., was a prominent elergyman of the " Christian Baptist " faith ; he preached a long time in Wolfeborough, after- wards in Dover. His daughter Mary married Isaac Stillings. Mr Colby lived to quite an advanced age. He was quite ingenious, and Rev. Alonzo Stillings, his grandson, has in his possession a "rattle-box " which his grandfather made for him when he was a child ; this toy is quite a curiosity and shows mechan- ical skill.

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
Dr Moses Colby was the physician of the town for many years, and was known throughout a wide section. He was town clerk for a long time, and all along the records are scattered emblematie figures, mostly masonic, artistically done ; he was a leading citizen, plain in his manners, quite eecentric, abounding in humor, careful and conservative. He had an extensive practice. He was postmaster about 1810, and kept the office in his house. He became a member of the Strafford District Medical Society in 1810, and was its secretary from 1824 to 1827. He had a large family, whom he educated well. In later life he removed to Dover.

He was a member of the Strafford District Association in 1839, and president of that body in 1858 and 1859. He was ever interested in all that could promote the public good ; his wife was his coadjutor in all good works. They had twelve children, six sons and six daughters.
Dr G. W. Tibbetts was in practice for years at Ossipee until his death, and was very successful.
Dr W. M. Moore was here for a short time, but moved to Provincetown, Mass., in 1888.
Dr Russell R. Rieker, father of Levi J. Ricker, proprietor of the North Conway House at North Conway, was in practice at Centre Ossipee about forty years ago for a year or so.
Dr Melvin A. Harmon, son of Bion E. and Caroline (Huckins) Harmon, was born October 22, 1857, at Danvers, Mass., where his parents were tempo- rarily residing. He was educated at the common and high schools in Freedom, Parsonsfield (Maine) Academy, and Waterville, Maine ; pursued his profes- sional studies at Portland Medical School ; attended lectures at Hanover and Brunswick (Maine Medical School), and was graduated from Brunswick in June, 1879. He located at Ossipee in July, 1879, and has since been in active practice. In the winter of 1888-89 he attended lectures at the Polyclinic School in New York city. He married Nellie, daughter of Ransellear and Caroline (Gilman) Towle, of Freedom. They have one child, C. Retta.

at Brunswick, where he was graduated in 1884. He began practice at Madison, October, 1884. November, 1888, he removed to Ossipee and formed a partnership with Dr Harmon. Dr Atwood attended a post-graduate course at the Polyclinic, New York city, in the winter of 1887-88. In 1888-89, attended the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital. He is a member of the Carroll County Medical Society, and is a rising man in his profession.
Joseph Q. Roles was born in Ossipee, March 14, 1828. When he was nineteen years old, his father died, leaving five younger children and no property. These were mostly dependent on Joseph and an older brother for support. He began business life as a traveling merchant, was a long time engaged in hotel keeping, also in staging, dealing in cattle and real estate, lumber, etc. He conducted for a time a wholesale and retail grocery at Union Village. He was much in public life; as selectman, justice of the peace, county commissioner, recruiting officer during the Civil War, county treasurer, and as a member of the legislature for many terms he filled many years of an active life. He was one of the state committee sent by Governor Gilmore to Gettysburg in 1863 to look after the wounded soldiers from this State, and was a delegate from this State to the historic Peace Convention held at Philadelphia in 1865. Mr Roles died by his own hand in mental despondency December 4, 1885.
Leander D. Sinclair was born in Essex, Vermont, October 19, 1804. In 1825 he removed to Bartlett, and in June came to Ossipee, and became connected with staging from Conway to Dover, and for forty-six years he followed the arduous duties of that avocation, commencing with a two-horse team. In 1870, on the opening of the railroad, he sold out his route, with sixteen horses and four coaches. In 1868 he was appointed postmaster of Ossipee, and held the office seventeen years; he was also station agent and has continued in that position until the present (1889). Mr Sinclair removed the postoffice from the store of M. V. Ricker, his predecessor, to the station where it was kept until 1885, when George L. Young, his successor, removed it to his store. William C. Sinclair, son of Leander, has been connected with him in the duties of his offices, and has been express agent from the opening of the railroad.

Sinclair has been one of the most active members of the masonie society in Ossipee ; has been master of the lodge, and with fidelity has served in higher official stations, and at the present is district deputy grand master. He is active in social and religious matters, and one of Ossipee's best citizens.
Loammi Hardy was much respected in private and in official life. He was register of deeds from the third year of this county to the thirty-third. Thirty years' service is rare, and it attests the faithfulness of the incumbent

and the confidence of the people. To this work in 1843 he brought a patience, painstaking, and fidelity which never forsook him. He died November 21, 1873, in Ossipee. He was descended from Rev. Samuel Dudley, the famous minister of Exeter, and son of Governor Thomas Dudley, whose daughter Mary married Samuel Hardie, "sometime schoolmaster of Beverly," also, later, Dr Samuel Hardy. Dudley. Hardy, a descendant of Dr Hardy, upon reaching the estate of manhood migrated from Wakefield to North Wolfeborough and settled on the Hardy hill about one hundred years ago, and was later known as Major Hardy. His wife was Hannah Johnson. Here Loammi, the sixth of eight children, was born August 16, 1805. The youngest, Ezra, still lives on the old homestead. Loammi learned the trade of a tailor, which, as well as the toil of a farmer's life, proved too much for his delicate constitution and he became lame from inflammatory rheumatism, which distorted his formerly erect six feet of manhood, making him a victim all his days.
Faithful and devoted to the principles of the Democratic party, which placed him in office, he was yet uniformly urbane to those of every name, and won the confidence of all and the votes of some not in political harmony. " His unflinching devotion and unflagging industry," says his biographer, " are revealed in the sixty 600-page volumes in his own handwriting in the county records, silent though swift and conclusive witnesses of his labors. The perplexing labor of examination and copying of deeds he attended to in person. He had an unqualified good nature and pleasant disposition. He was invariably courteous to old and young. Not a man of positive character, yet he never sacrificed principle for party purpose or private ends." He entered into fellowship with the Congregational church in North Wolfe- borough, 1842. He did faithful work, and threw the weight of his influence on the side of education, temperance, and morality.
He married, January 1, 1846, Mary Bean Haines, daughter of Captain Jolm Haines. Of their six children the only one now living in the state is Arvilla, first the wife of Angevine Pitman, son of Judge Pitman of Bart- lett, who died in 1880, and now Mrs Albert H. Thompson, of Raymond.
Aldo M. Rumery, present clerk of the supreme court for Carroll county, is a son of John M. and Sarah Rumery, and was born in Effingham, October 10, 1842. He was educated at the public schools and the New England Masonic Institute in Effingham. January 3, 1870, he married Sarah M. (Quarles) Wiggin, widow of Thomas B. Wiggin, of Ossipee, and daughter of Samuel J. and Sarah S. Quarles, of Ossipee. Their two children are Howard C., born March 17, 1873, and Laura M., born August 11, 1874. Mr Rumery held the office of town clerk in Effingham in 1869-70, and was selectman in 1875-77. He moved to Ossipee in 1877, and has held the office of school committee here for 1881-83 and was a member of the school board for 1887-89; town treasurer for 1884-89; the two last-named offices he

holds at this time. He was appointed register of deeds for the county by the supreme court, July 16, 1881, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sanborn B. Carter, Esq., and was elected to this office in November, 1882, and reelected in 1884 and 1886; he resigned his position January 13, 1887, to accept the appointment of clerk of the supreme court, on the resignation of William A. Heard. Mr Rumery is an admirable county officer, faithful to his duties and courteous in his intercourse with his fellowmen.
James O. Gerry is the present register of deeds. (See Madison.)

(Rogers) Weeks, was born in Wakefield, May 13, 1859; he taught school at sixteen years of age ; in 1878 he entered Colby University, Waterville, Maine, remained two years, then studied law with his brother, Frank S.
