near the South Branch, at Southville. Sum- mer and winter he was an attentive scholar at the old red school-house then standing on Pot- ash Hill, until he came to be fifteen or sixteen years of age, when he found employment in the store of James Breck, whose business occupied the premises on the southwest corner of Main and Elm Streets. A year or more in dry-goods and groceries failed to satisfy his ideal of a life- work, and consulting an inclination some time cherished, he determined to educate himself for the medical profession.
After completing a course at the Newport Academy, he commenced the study of medicine in the office of Dr. John B. McGregor, at that time one of the most eminent practitioners in this part of the State, and was afterwards with Dr. Caleb Plastridge, of East Lebanon, whose daughter he married.
At less than twenty-three years of age-1833 -Dr. Parmelee pushed out into the world, a graduate from the Medical Department of Dart- mouth, his diploma signed by the distinguished physiologist, Reuben D. Mussey. He located at first in the town of Warner, but afterward, through the influence of friends, and in view of a wider professional field, he removed, in 1839, to Morley, where, for more than forty- five years, he had been in the successful practice of his profession.

Samuel J. Allen, M.D., born January 4,
1819, was graduated at the Castleton (Vt.) Medi- cal College in 1842, and received an honorary degree from Dartmouth in 1870. He has spent the most of his professional life at Hartford, Vt. He was a surgeon in the Union army during the Civil War.

HISTORY OF SULLIVAN COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Elbridge G. Kelley, son of Deacon John Kelley, of Kelleyville, was born September 29, 1812; graduated at the Jefferson Medical Col- lege of Philadelphia, but made dentistry a specialty, and established himself at Newbury- port, Mass., where he attained a prominent position in his profession and as a citizen. He was a member of the Legislature, and twice mayor of the city. To him the precinct of Kelleyville, in the western part of the town, is indebted for its name.
James H. Parmelce, son of John and grand- son of Ezra, was born March 2, 1820, at the precinct in Newport known as Southville, where his boyhood and school-days were passed, after which he went to New York City, and was for a time connected with the office of the Con- necticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, in Wall Street. He afterward turned his attention to dentistry as a profession, and opened an office in Brooklyn. In 1847 he married Abbie, a daughter of Colonel Levi Jones, of Amherst, and some years afterward came to Milford, N. H., and later to Manchester, where he con- tinned the business of his profession until the time of his decease, September 29, 1879. His daughter, and only child, is the wife of Edward B. Waite, of Manchester. Dr. Parmelee was genial in his disposition and temperament, and drew around him warm friends wherever he went. He was an accomplished vocalist.
William Wallace Hurd, a grandson of Sam- uel, one of the first settlers of the town, and son of Samuel, Jr., and Mary Ann (Corbin) Hurd, was born in Newport about the year 1820. He educated himself to the profession of dental surgery, in which he has been engaged for many years in the city of New York.
Henry Tubbs has been in the practice of dental surgery in Newport since 1860. He is a native of Peterborough, born February 24, 1831. His professional success, and his char- acter as a citizen during the quarter century of his residence here, entitle him to confidence and regard. He married, December 25, 1865,
Mary Ann, a daughter of Charles Rogers, of Sunapee, and they have children,-Annie L., born Aug. 3, 1868 ; Gertie M. born Oct. 27, 1874.
LEGAL PROFESSION .- The fact that no rep- resentative of the legal profession found encour- agement to settle in Newport during its first quarter of a century affords much of argument in favor of the peace and good neighborhood that existed among its people. The bickerings and misunderstandings, if any, among the people of that time were not beyond the reach of settlement by the good-will and consent of parties or their friends. An ordinary justice of the peace, or a magistrate of wisdom and ability, such as was found in Benjamin Giles, was equal to any requirement of the community.
Caleb Ellis is said to have opened the first law-office in Newport. He was a native of Walpole, Mass., and graduated from Harvard College in 1793. After his admission to the bar he came to Newport, and it was here that in the year 1800 he received his first political advancement. From this town he removed to Cornish and to Claremont not long afterward. He was a representative from this district in Congress from 1805 to 1809, was a member of the Council, and in 1811 was elected to the State Senate. In 1813 he was appointed judge of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, and continued in that position until his death, which occurred May 9, 1816, in the forty-ninth year of his age.
Hubbard Newton, son of Christopher and Mary (Giles), was the first native of the town that entered the legal profession. He was grad- uated from Dartmouth College in 1804; ad- mitted to the bar in 1806. Weare Tappan, Esq., was for a time associated with him pro- fessionally, and afterward removed to Bradford. Aside from the business of his profession, Mr. Newton took much interest in educational and literary affairs, and was some time editor of a weekly paper. He represented the town in 1814 and 1815. He died in February, 1847, in the sixty-seventh year of his age.

Amasa Edes was a native of Antrim ; born March 21, 1792; was graduated from Dart- mouth College in 1817. He educated himself to the legal profession ; was admitted to the bar in 1822 and settled in Newport the same year. He was one of the early preceptors of the Newport Academy, 1825, and afterward a trustee. He was also one of the pioneers in the temperance movement in this town. He had a long and successful career in the practice of his profession, and was president of the Sul- livan County bar at the time of his deeeasc, which occurred September 10, 1883, in the ninety-second year of his age.

Josiah Forsaith was a native of Deering; born December 14, 1780; graduated at Dart- mouth in 1807 ; read law with Caleb Ellis, of Claremont, and commenced the practice of his profession at Goffstown, and afterward for a time in Boston. He came to Newport in 1822; was superintending school committee and some time represented the town in the Legisla- ture. He was one of the builders and pro- prietors of the Eagle Hotel, a famous hostelry of that time, and, after a successful career, died March 30, 1846.
Ralph Metealf was born at Charlestown, No- vember 21, 1798 ; was graduated from Dart- mouth in 1823; fitted for the legal profession in the offices of Henry Hubbard, of Charles- town, and George B. Upham, of Claremont, and admitted to the bar in 1826; was the sue- cessor of David Hale in Newport. He was seven years Seeretary of State, returning to Newport in 1843-44; was register of Probate for the county of Sullivan. In 1852-53 he represented the town in the Legislature, and was one of a committee to codify the laws of the State; was trustee of the Insane Asylum
in 1855 and Governor of the State in 1855-56. Benjamin B. French was here as lawyer, clerk of the county courts and editor of the New Hampshire Argus and Spectator until his removal to Washington, D. C., in 1834.
Edmund Burke was a native of Westminster, Vt .; born January 23, 1809, and came to Newport in 1834 as an editor. Disposing of his newspaper interest, he turned his attention to his profession and to politics. He was three times eleeted as Representative to Congress from this distriet-1839 to 1845; was ap- pointed commissioner of patents by President Polk in 1845. He was afterward connected with editorial work on the Washington Union up to 1850, after which he returned to the practice of his profession in Newport. He died January 25, 1882.
Austin Corbin is a native of Newport ; born July 11, 1827. He was educated as a lawyer and received his degree from the Harvard Law Sehool in 1849. After admission to the bar he commenced practice in this town in company with Ralph Metcalf, Esq. In 1851 he re- moved to Davenport, Iowa, and was at first engaged in the practice of his profession, but after a time turned his attention to banking and financial business generally. In 1865 he disposed of his interest in Iowa and removed to New York City, where he organized the Cor- bin Banking Company. He afterwards ac- quired a valuable interest in lands, railroad and hotel property on Coney Island, and later has pushed his enterprises until he has a controlling interest in the Long Island Railroad and has become its president.

Barton, Samuel M. Wheeler, Brooks K. Webber, Arthur C. Bradley, N. E. Reed, W. H. H. Allen (now judge,) William P. Wheeler and M. W. Tappan (Attorney-Gen- eral).
