S ALTS and Pearlashes .- " Making salts" was the chief means of get- ting money in the early times. They were made by leaching ashes and boiling the lye down until it crystallized in a black mass called "salts." This was sold to parties who " pearled " it in large ovens made of brick; the kettles used in boiling were huge affairs, weighing over 700 pounds, nearly seven inches thick at the bottom, (I well remember my ex- perience in overturning one in the sugar place, which, like the " bottle-imp," persisted in retaining its equilibrium.) The Yankee propensity for adulter- ation finally ruined the business, and it was abandoned over forty years ago.

Flanders & Wiswell had a "pearlash " in 1839, on the farm where Ed- win W. Drew now lives, which they run several years; Capt. Tibbetts had one on a brook near "North Hill" school-house in 1820. Harriman &

Tirrell had one near Benjamin Fellows's in 1830. The first one on "South Hill " was built by John Flanders, near E. W. Drew's residence; he also later put up one on M. & F. Blodgett's north lot, which was operated by Thomas Wilson.

Flax .-- One of the earliest manufactures was that of flax. This was car- ried on at every farm house for years. The flax, after being "rotted," was first put through the "break." which was formed of four stationary wooden knives, with three more above, which fitted between those in the bed, to break up the woody fiber of the flax: the flax being held in the left hand, while the knives (fitted into blocks with a hinge behind) were operated by the right. When the handful was broken half the length, it was turned, and the other half broken. Then, by the use of the swing- ling-knife and board. the woody parts were cut or beat out, the flax hang- ing over the top of the board. The flax, still containing tow and particles of woody fiber, was then drawn through the " comb, " or " hatchel " (made of small steel pins six or seven inches long), thus separating all the remain- ing tow, etc. It was then ready for the housewife, who again combed and finished it ready for the wheel, wound it on the distaff, and, by the aid of the curiously-shaped little flax wheels, drew it out into threads of various sizes for the manufacture of coarse or fine cloth. The tow was carded on small hand cards, spun on the wool wheel, and used for " filling," or woof to the coarser fabric. Many of the implements can be found to- day in the attics of our old farm houses. "Aunt " Hannah Fletcher has a full set, which she has used many years, doing all the weaving, etc., for a large family, and also for her neighbors.

Brick. - Micajah Fletcher and Isaiah Fellows ·made two kilns of brick near where Isaiah Fletcher now lives. There was also one kiln near where John Knight resides. These were made years ago, none having been burned since 1840.

Leather .- James Kennedy or Cyrus Eames built a tannery in 1839, at West Stewartstown, and was succeeded later by Nichols & Brooks. This was abandoned long ago.

Shoe and Harness Shops .-- This business was started by Names & Neal in 1836. Nelson Nichols and Chapin Brooks had a shoe shop about the same time, as did Franklin Chamberlin and Antoine Chamberlin (who united shoe- making with the duties of toll collector for the bridge company). George F. Morgan worked at shoemaking on "South Hill" for several years. Many others did work a short time in the town until the large manufac- turers drove then out of the business. Daniel G. Ripley opened a harness shop before the Rebellion, and, after its close, returned, and re-opened it at West Stewartstown. Charles F. Corkum, C. W. Dellibar, and Andrew Harian have also worked at harness making there.

Blacksmiths .- Andros Tirrill opened a shop about 1820 on "North Hill."

671

He was followed by Caleb S. Dalton, who opened a shop on "South Hill " in 1826, and was succeeded by Sylvanus M. Jordan in 1848, who carried on the business there and at the Hollow, until he gave up the shop, in 1876, to his son, Andrew Jackson Jordan. Fletcher Russell opened a shop at West Stewartstown in 1833, and was succeeded by John McKnight in 1849. Henry D. McKnight also had a shop there about 1826. R. G. Jame- son worked there in 1862, Felix Ricord in 1869, Benjamin Blodget in 1979, Alamanzo Parker in 1881, and Albert Quimby now occupies the shop. John Derby had a shop in the north part of the town in 1850.

Saw-mills .- The first saw-mill was built on the Connecticut near the bridge at West Stewartstown by Capt. Jeremiah Eames. in 1803. This was burned several years later and another built, owned by Daniel Norris & Co., and, later (1833), by Norris & Laughton, and, later yet, by Graham & Co. William F. Allen owned it when it burned a few years ago. He then built the one he now operates. A "union " mill was built early on "Bishop's brook," near where Henry Hurd now lives, and another just below, in 1833, by Robert and Daniel Cheney, which was operated several years by Daniel, and later by Martin Harriman. Both of the mills are gone now; only the foundation of dams remaining to show where they were. Jonathan Chandler built a saw-mill in 1824, on Cedar brook, which was afterward operated by Ezekiel Watson and J. Hoit Durgin This mill is also gone, and the ruins of a starch mill stand in its place. In 1551 Ben- jamin Keazer built the mill now operated by Alanson Owen, on " Bishop's brook," dying before it was finished. The mill was then purchased by Col. Hazen Bedel, of Colebrook, who sold it to Oliver L. Field. He fin- ished it as a saw-mill, and, about 1863, added a grist mill. Hezekiah Stod- dard purchased it in 1870, and, in 1876, sold it to Alonzo Knapp, who sold to Mr. Owen, the present owner, in 1880. Adams M. Tewksbury built a saw-mill below the road on Cedar brook, in 1851, which was operated by him and Daniel A., his son, until about 1875, when Scott Harriman bought it, and after repairing it, operated it until it was destroyed in the hail storm of July 29, 1883. The machinery is now in Millsfield. In 1856 Seth Tir- rill built a saw-mill on "Back Pond" brook, which was conducted by him and Charles C. Tirrill until about 1860. A Mr. Bouldry built a saw-mill on the Mohawk about 1865. This was afterward owned by Lawrence Heath. About 1877 it was rebuilt by George & Perley Knapp, the present owners. All mills in operation now use circular saws.

Grist mills .- Capt. Jeremiah Eames owned a grist-mill in 1804, in con- nection with the first saw-mill, at West Stewartstown. After the fire, Bean & Norris built a flouring mill below their saw-mill. This was con- ducted by them, Laughton and others, until 1870, when Seth Tirrill came into possession. Fordyce A. Hannaford bought it in 1877, and sold it to Gad Beecher & Son. In 1878 this mill was burned in the large fire, and

672

HISTORY OF COOS COUNTY.

rebuilt by " Beecher & Sons," who sold it to George Hammond, the pres- ent owner. This is the only " wheat mill " in town. In 1863 Oliver L. Field built a buckwheat bolting and provender mill under the saw-mill on Bishop's brook, which has been in operation ever since, and is now owned by Alanson Owen. Jonathan Chandler also had a provender mill and bolt for buckwheat at his saw-mill on Cedar brook several years.

Starch-mills .- John Flanders and Adams M. Tewksbury built the first "starch factory" in 1852, where C. E. Tewksbury's shop now stands, which they carried on for several years. Sherburn R. Merrill and Benjamin Gathercole built the starch-mill now standing on Cedar brook in 1867, and afterward sold to Eustis Lovering & Co., the present owners. This mill has not been run for several years, and is fast going to decay. Josiah Abbott & Co., in 1866, built a starch-mill on Back Pond brook, which was destroyed by fire a few years later. A. S. Eustis and Alfred Lovering, in 1875. built the starch-mill on Bishop's brook, near Jeremiah Keazer's. After Mr. Lovering's death, Warren E. Drew, of Colebrook, bought his interest, and, in company with Mr. Eustis, now operates it. This is the only starch factory now conducted here.

Shingles and clapboards were made at the old saw-mill at West Stew- artstown, and are now manufactured there by William F. Allen; also at Perley Knapp's mill on Mohawk stream. Alanson Owen has a shingle machine.

Planing and Wood Turning .- William F. Allen, E. S. Parker, and John R. Little, at West Stewartstown, Perley Knapp and C. E. Tewksbury, on the east side, all run planers for custom work, in connection with other busi- ness. Little, Parker, Allen and Tewksbury also have lathes for turning wood.

Machine-shops .- William M. Smith and Davis Graham run the first machine shop at West Stewartstown. Calvin T. Stoddard & Co. carried on the manufacture of machinery at West Stewartstown, in E. S. Parker's building, for some time, removing to Groveton in 1886.

Wheelwrights .- Adams M. Tewksbury was the first to make wheels in town, and built the shop now occupied by his nephew, Charles E. Tewks- bury, who also carries on a carriage and repairing business. C. S. Russell has a shop at West Stewartstown for making and repairing carriages. Charles D. Young does repairing and painting at his house near Knapp's mill.

Furniture and House Finishing .- Ephraim S. Parker manufactures doors, sash, moldings, etc., at his shop in West Stewartstown. John R. Little & Co., manufacture furniture, coffins, etc., and both carry a stock for sale. Thomas Johnson, in 1840, and Trask & Johnson, in 1847, and Fling & Johnson. kept furniture for sale, and manufactured in a small way.

Woolen Mills, Carding, Etc .- William M. Smith and Samuel Pitkin

673

TOWN OF STEWARTSTOWN.

built the first mill for manufacturing woolen goods, and custom carding at West Stewartstown. in 1836, and carried it on for many years. Isaiah Pickard bought it in 1860, and L. & N. Cole succeeded him in 1870. John M. Hilliard bought it in 1872, and the mill was burned, with others, in 1879. Ephraim S. Parker had a carding machine in his building burned in 1887.

Iron Foundry and Tinsmith .- In 1840 Davis Graham and Joseph War- ren started an iron foundry at West Stewartstown, for the manufacture of stoves, plows, etc., and carried it on for many years, until Mr. Graham removed it to Colebrook. Charles M. Quimby has carried on the tin busi- ness in West Stewartstown since 1880.

Merchants and Traders .- In 1835 Joseph P. Wiswall and John Flanders opened a store on South hill, for the sale of general merchandise. In 1856 Mr. Flanders moved his stock to the "Hollow," and was succeeded, in or near 1865, by his son, Benjamin C. Flanders. He was followed in 1867 by Charles Fletcher & Co., and in 1868 by George Flanders & Co., in 1872 by Francis L. Brown, in 1874 by Gathercole & Shurtleff. This firm left the store vacant until 1880, when Fernando C. Jacobs came. In 1882 Lucius Parkhurst bought the store, and, with Jacobs, formed the firm of Park- hurst & Jacobs.

West Stewartstown .- Graham & Brooks were early traders here. Henry Fling opened a store at West Stewartstown in 1841, and continued in busi- ness several years, when Edwin Loomis succeeded him for a short time. Josiah Abbott & Co. began business in 1866, and failed a few years later. Lyman W. Alger began trade in 1869, and still continues in business. Carlisle N. Green commenced in 1870, and was followed in 1877 by Oscar Lang, who died, and was succeeded by Van Dyke & Heath, and later by Daniel Heath & Co. who still trade there. Lorenzo Farnham began, in the store he now occupies, in 1873. Gad Beecher & Son opened a grocery in 1884, and are now doing business.

Dry Goods and Millinery .- Isaac F. Jacobs, clothing, dry goods, etc., began trade at West Stewartstown in 1878, and now has the postoffice in his store, succeeding L. W. Alger as postmaster, in 1886. Mrs. Ellen M. Fling engaged in millinery in 1874, and continues in business.

Drug Store .- Lyman H. Annable began the druggist business in 1869, sold to Loverin & Holbrook in 1873, they to Caleb S. Dalton, in 1881, he to Lyman O. Shurtleff, who is still in trade.

T HE First Congregational Church of Christ, of West Stewartstown, Canaan, and vicinity, was organized July 1, 1846, under these cir- cumstances. Members of the church at Colebrook residing in the above named places found the distance so far from Colebrook-the only place where stated means of grace could be enjoyed-that it was extremely diffi- cult, and almost impossible for them to attend regularly, and they for a long time were deeply anxious to devise some measure to furnish themselves and neighbors with better advantages of enjoyment of gospel ordinances. After many prayerful communions on the subject, and an occasional ser- mon from the Colebrook minister, they established a " Bible-class " on the principle of mutual instruction. As many as could went to Colebrook on communion Sabbaths. About this time a zealous brother while at Lunen- burg. Vt., met Dr. Josiah Morse who had recently been dismissed from the pastorate of the First Congregational church of St. Johnsbury. This meet- ing resulted in the removal of Dr. Morse and family to West Stewartstown in April, 1846. William Smith kindly gave the use of his store-house for one year to hold services in, and a respectable congregation attended relig- ious worship. Movements were now made for a church organization. Application was made to the Colebrook church for a dismissal from that body. This was given in this letter :--

" By request of the members of this church residing at West Stewartstown, Canaan, and vicinity, a regu- lar meeting of the church was notified and holden on the 27th day of May, 1846; at which meeting the request of said members to be dismissed for the purpose of being organized into a separate church, together with the reasons assigned why such action was desirable and a dutv. These were taken into serious and careful con- sideration, and the members present unanimously voted that the request be granted: And furthermore

being informed that the following named brethren and sisters wish for a letter of dismissal for the purpose above named, it was voted, that, in accordance with this desire, Deaeon Nathaniel Beach, Mrs. N. Beach, Mary Beach, Elizabeth Fletcher. Wm. Fleteher, Betsey Abbott, Thomas Johnson, Sarah Johnson, Wm. Ellis, Mrs. Wm. Ellis, Daniel Norris, Emily E. Norris, Jeremiah Pickard, Mrs. J. Pickard, Jeremiah Eames, Dulcina Eames. Abigail Pickard, Mary Pickard. Mrs. Charles Sargeant, Abigail Sargeant, Sarah Harvey, Mary Barrus, Hezekiah Stoddard, Mrs. Nathan Frizzle, Polly Blodgett be dismissed according to their request, and that when they should be organized into a separate church, their particular connection with us will cease. With an expression of our best Christian affections. In behalf of the church of Colebrook and vicinity. C. W. Richardson, acting pastor and moderator."

The members thus dismissed immediately voted to call a council, which met July 1, 1846, and organized this church.

Pastors .- Rev. Josiah Morse, July 1, 1846; Rev. Albert A. Rankin, June. 1850; Rev. J. Wooster preached half the time for some years; Rev. J. B. Hill, 1856; Rev. E. Burt, February 7, 1864; Rev. J. W. Starr, July 5, 1874, (died June, 1875); Rev W. S. Bugbee, July 19, 1575; Rev. Abra- ham Burnham, November, 1878, (died December S, 1878); Rev. H. P. Lamprey, June 1, 1879; Rev. H. H. Coleburn, May 2, 1sso; Rev. W. A. C. Converse, April 11, 1886; Rev. C. W. Wallace, D. D., July 4, 1886 Deacon William Ellis is the present church clerk.

The church building was commenced in 1848, and completed November 15, 1852, at a cost of about $1,000. Improvements have since been made, bringing the present value to $1,500. There are now 121 names on the church books.

The Sabbath-school has an average attendance of about sixty, and the interest manifested by teachers and scholars has been productive of much good. William F. Allen, superintendent: T. E. Davies, secretary.

Christian Church .- " Record of the Church of God in the connection called Christians, at Stewarts- town, N. H.

" Gathered July 16th, A. D., 1823, in Jesus name.

"Joseph Banfield, Pastor."

" We whose names are herein recorded, viz., fifteen brethren and sisters, agree to consider ourselves a church, to acknowledge Christ our Head Master, Lord and Lawgiver, whom we are to hear to in all things, the New Testament, our Rule by which to instruet and admonish each other, without the addition of any disei- pline invented by men, and to be known by the name of Christians according to Acts xi .- 26. We like- wise agree to strive to love all christians of any denomination, and to continue in the doctrine of Christ, according to Heb. 6 -- 12."

Action of Church, from Records .- " Agreed that there should be two conferences held monthly, one on South Hill, and the other on North hill, or . College Grant;' that on South hill to be held on the last Thursday, and the other on the second Thursday in every month. Agreed that brother Gideon Tirrill should be the clerk of the church. Agreed to acknowledge and approbate brethren Charles Wiggin and Gideon Tir- rill in the capacity of deacons. At a conference held at brother Charles Wiggin's. Oct. 16, 1830. Agreed to Dismiss Eld. Joseph Banfield at his request from the Pastoral charge of the church, and to receive Eld. John T. Colby as their pastor."

This conference was remarkably interesting on account of the divine spirit that was made manifest.

White, of Palmyra, Me., came and labored until fall. January, 1850, Elder William S. Morrill moved into Stewartstown to labor in gospel work in this and adjoining towns; in February, Jeremiah M. Smith paid us a short visit.

The church ordinances having been neglected and the church scattered, the remaining eleven members re-organized, in accordance with the first organization, July 5, 1851, as a " Christian " or "Union " church.

Christian or Union Church .- Under this organization the following members were received at the dates mentioned :-

Charles S. Wiggin, Richard Tibbetts. Jr., John Thurstin, Gideon Tirrill, Henry E. Wiggin, William S. Morrill, Nancy Wiggin, Sally H. Young. Sabra T. Tirrill, Jane S. Wiggin, Minerva T.

Extracts from Records. - August 2. 1851. chose Elder William S. Mor- rill pastor, Charles S. Wiggin and Gideon Tirrill deacons, and Henry E. Wiggin, clerk. September 2 and 3, 1856, the Free Will Baptists held a quarterly meeting, and Elder N. K. George labored three weeks and, as a result, on September 27. 1856, Elder George baptized eighteen, seventeen joined the Free Will Baptist church at Clarksville, and seventy-five par- took of the communion. November 7, 1855, Deacon Charles S. Wiggin died; a brother much beloved, who had faithfully discharged the duties of his office. 1859, Henry E. Wiggin chosen deacon. 1867, Gilman C. Noyes chosen clerk.

The Christian church had no regular pastor from June, 1862, to June,

677

TOWN OF STEWARTSTOWN.

1867, when Elder Stephen M. Andrews came and labored for six months. He was followed by Elder R. B. Eldridge who was here, irregularly, for about two years. Then there was no pastor until April, 1871, when Elder W. S. Morrill returned and preached for one half the time. During these intervals monthly meetings were kept up.

June 3, 1871, chose Stephen Harriman deacon in place of G. C. Noyes, moved away. June 14. 1873, chose Samuel T. Noyes, clerk. Elder W. S. Morrill closed his labor April. 1874, and the church was without a pastor until December, 1874, when Clark Simonds engaged for a year. Septem- ber 30, 1876, Elder C. D. Burdick was chosen pastor. October 30, 1876, received Martin Harriman into church, and voted to grant him a licentiate preacher's license. June 2, 1877, chose Martin Harriman clerk.

The church became again disorganized, and so remained until Rev. W. H. H. Collins, assisted by Rev. Martin Harriman, and Rev. W. A. C. Converse, framed a "Union Constitution," and the church under the pastorate of Elder Collins struggled a few years longer. He was succeeded by Rev. Otis S. Danforth, who resigned in 1884. No regular services have been held since, except a few weeks in summer, and occasional services by travelling preachers. This is much to be regretted, as there is a good church building here. and the people are able, and should unite and sus- tain a pastor. Rev. Messrs. Converse and Danforth did some good work, but were discouraged, and left for brighter fields before the seeds sown here had borne much good fruit. Those who continue faithful now attend churches at Colebrook and West Stewartstown, and hold occasional class meetings here.
