Soldiers' Monument.1-The soldiers' monument erected in Putnam Grove, Peterborough, consists of a bronze statue of a soldier, six feet seven inches high, standing in full dress, at rest upon his arms, upon a granite pedestal seven feet in height. The statue was designed by Martin Milmore, Esq., of Boston, and cast by the Ames Manufacturing Company, at Chico- pee, Mass. The pedestal is of the Concord granite, and was designed at Chicopee, and wrought by D. C. Hutchinson, of Manchester. The statue and pedestal are so well proportioned that the artistic effect of the whole is very pleasant and admirable. Upon the face of the granite pedestal, in front, is inserted a bronze memorial tablet, bearing the following in- scription :

CHAPTER III.

PETERBOROUGH-(Continued).

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.

The I'nitarian Church-Union Evangelical Church-Methodist Episco- pal Church-Baptist Church-St. Peter's Church.

Unitarian Church .- It is not known when the first church in this town was incorporated, but the first house of worship was ereeted in 1752. In 1761 sixty- eight pounds were voted to repair the house and to purchase the land on which it was located. The town " Voted, To protect meeting-house from falling trees and fire, each surveyor, with all his gang, should work one day to clear about the meeting-house, and clear the graveyard and fence it." "Voted, To enlarge old meeting-house by an addition eighteen feet long on south side, and as wide as the old house is long, and join roof of addition to that of old house." In 1763, " Voted to lay a floor and build plank seats, and glaze windows in meeting-house." " Voted, To de- mand of Alexander Scott the 'neals' given by the proprietors." The old house is not again mentioned, except in the following vote of 1774, viz. : " Voted, To build a new meeting-house upon the ten acres of common land, where the old one stands and some dis- tance west from said house." Chose William Smith, William Robbe and Henry Ferguson a committee to carry the same into effect. " Voted also one hundred pounds toward the same, and that it should be framed, boarded, clapboarded, shingled and glazed by the committee one year from the date, which will be in 1776." The house was not raised till 1777, and re- mained in an unfinished state a number of years.

In 1779 (says Mr. Smith) we learn that the town released Mr. Comings with regard to the obligation to build the meeting-honse, and allowed him certain sums for his labor, and at the same time voted to finish the new meeting-house and lay the under floor and have windows for the lower story. The house remained un- finished till 1784, when a committee was chosen to let out the building of the pews and the finishing of the meeting-house, and in 1785 there was action of the town in relation to the galleries, and after this there was no more legislation, only votes to move the meet- ing-house to a more convenient place, in 1795; and if the town cannot agree, the subject to be submitted to a committee from out of town; in 1797, also to move meeting-house, if they can agree upon a place to set it; in 1798 it was " Voted to set the meeting- honse a little to the east of the house that Thomas H, Blood (Dr. Blood) now lives in (Carter's Corner), when built or moved." In 1812 it was voted to make a thorough repair of the meeting-house, and one hun- dred dollars was voted for the same in 1813. In same year, April 6th, " Voted, That the town be at one-half of the expense of purchasing a stove, on condition that the other half of expense is done by subscription,

said stove to be the property of the town and to be kept in the meeting-house." In 1816 it was voted not to repair meeting-house, so no repairs were made on the house, nor, indeed, did a stove ever get within its walls.

An effort was made to fix upon a location for a new meeting-house in 1816, and a committee from ont of town was selected: viz., Nahum Parker, of Fitz- william, Samuel Bachelder, of New Ipswich, and Benjamin Pierce, of Hillsborough. It was not till 1819 that this committee was called on to act. The town chose David Steele, Jonathan Faxon, Thomas Steele, Nathaniel Holmes, Jonathan Smith, James Cuning- ham, Robert Swan, Hugh Miller, David Carter and Adam Penniman to wait on committee of location and see that all necessary admeasurements be made, and all necessary information be furnished, and no- tify them to come as soon as convenient.

This committee was assembled in June. As pre- paratory to their decision, the distances were accu- rately measured from every dwelling in town to a central point, with the number of each household: those in the southeast to Hunt's Corner, those in the southwest to Carter's Corner, those in the west and northwest to Smith's Bridge, those in the northeast to John Little's Corner, the same being laid down on a plan, now in good preservation, by Caleb Searle, June 19, 1819.

This committee, after a careful examination, fixed the place of location for the new meeting-house north of the house of James Wilson, on the west side of the street road, about midway between the house aforesaid and the old cemetery. The decision did not prove satisfactory to anybody. At a town- meeting, September 13, 1819, Samuel Smith, modera- tor, "Voted, not to accept the report of the locating committee." "Voted, not to repair the meeting- house." The old house continued to be used for some years only during the summer season, the meet- ings being held in school-houses in winter till 1825, when it was finally abandoned. In 1829 we find the following vote, "Voted, to sell the old meeting-house forthwith." Sold to William Scott for seventy-five dollars and twenty-five cents.

Rev. John Morrison, of a race entirely distinct from the Morisons of the town, was the first settled minister. Mr. Morrison was offered sixty pounds sterling and one hundred acres of land, or one hun- dred dollars in money, if he accepted the call. The land was given by the proprietors. His yearly salary was forty-five pounds in our currency, and an increase when the number shall increase to one hundred fami- lies. Then to be fifty pounds a year. It was voted that his settlement be assessed forthwith. Mr. Mor- rison complied with the offer, and was ordained November 26, 1766, no account of the ordination having come down to us. It was an unfortunate ministry for the town, and great uneasiness and dis- satisfaction were soon manifested by some of the best

men of the church. It appears that a petition was made to the Provincial Legislature, dated November 27, 1771, praying to be released from the support of Mr. Morrison, and was signed by the following per- sons, viz. :

William McNee, Samuel Miller, James Cuningham, William Cochran, John Wiley, Matthew Miller, James McKean, William Miller, James Miller, Neal llammil, Samuel Wilson, Ilugh Wilson, Sanmel Mitchell, James Taggart, William McNee, Jr., Alexander Robbe, David Steele, John Smith, Robert Morison, Joseph Hammil, Samuel Cuningham, Thomas Little, James Wilson, John Gregg, Jr., John Wilson, Daniel Mack, Jasaniah Crosby, William Moore, John Mitchell, Elijah Puffer, John Puffer, Hugh Gregg, Abraham Holmes.

" Journal C. & Assm. from May 22 to Dec. 31, 1771.

"The petition of Sundry of the Inhabitants of the town of Peterbor- ough, setting forth that about 5 years ago the Rev'd John Morrison was ordained to the work of the Ministry there, since which he has been repeatedly gilty of ye gravest immoralities, such as Profane Swearing, Drunkenness, Lewdness, &c., and therefore Praying the Interposilion of the Legislature to release them from their obligation to support him," &c. Read and sent down to the assembly. Hearing ordered by the house. -Provincial Papers, rol. vii. pp. 291, 292.

The vote for a hearing in the Council was recon- sidered, and December 18, 1771, it was ordered that the petition be dismissed. And in the House of Rep- resentatives, December 20, 1771, the above vote in the Council being considered, it was proposed that the petition should be dismissed ; accordingly, the ques- tion being put, it passed in the affirmative. (Provin- cial Records.)

Mr. Morrison relinquished his connection with the society in March, 1772. During his ministry his con- dnet became so scandalous that at a Presbyterial meet- ing held at this time he was for a time suspended from his office. He is represented as possessing more than ordinary talent. He was but twenty-three years of age when he commenced his ministry.

The town was without a minister till 1778, the pul- pit being supplied by the town authorities with such men as could then be procured, preaching, neverthe- less, being pretty constantly maintained. The early settlers had great faith in a regular maintenence of the preached gospel.

Rev. David Annan was called in 1778, having been ordained at Walkill, N. J., October, 1778, with Peter- borough for his destination. He was brother of Rev. Robert Annan, a man of superior talents, who was for some time a pastor of the Federal Street Church, in Boston. Mr. Annan came to America when young. He received his education at Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N. J., where the degree of A.M. was con- ferred on him in 1782. The pastoral connection of Mr. Annan with the society in Peterborough continued fourteen years, until it was dissolved, at his request, in 1792, by the Presbytery of Londonderry. In a complaint against Mr. Annan by Elder Samuel Moore to the Pres- bytery of Londonderry, to be holden at Peterborough August 30, 1788, drawn up in the handwriting of Judge Jeremiah Smith, whether ever acted on we have no means of knowing, it charges first, -- " That the Rev. Mr. Annan, as appears from his private eon- versation, as well as his public performances, has

662

neglected the study of useful knowledge, the reading of good books, and especially of the Holy Scriptures, and hath not given himself to study, but has fre- quently, as he himself confesses, gone into the pulpit without any preparation, and thus hath served the Lord with that which cost him nothing, and hath not by his discourses edified or improved the flock com- mitted to his care." That Mr. Annan's " conversation and behavior and manners have been of a kind differ- ent from those recommended by the apostle and essential to the character of a gospel minister, who is an example to the flock,-his conversation not sea- soned with salt, but generally upon trifling subjects ; his behavior not being sober, but light and vain ; and his conduct and manners irreverent, sometimes inde- cent and unbecoming the character of a gospel min- ister." "That he has attempted to extort from the town two fifty-acre lots of land, which he knew were never designed for him, and were no part of the con- tract the town made with him ; and to accomplish his purposes respecting this land, he has not serupled, in several instances, to deviate from the truth." The complaint then charges him with being intoxicated on several specified occasions, viz. : at an entertain- ment at the house of William Smith, Esq., about the 1st day of September, 1784, he became intoxicated with spirituous liquors ; also the Ist day of February, 1785, at the marriage of Elizabeth Smith, he was in- toxicated with liquor, and behaved very unbecomingly. Several other instances are mentioned of his being intoxicated, and reference is made to the names of the witnesses to substantiate the charges. The complaint ends thus,-

" Your complainant might have swelled the catalogue with Mr. An- nan's faults as a minister, as a man and a Christian to a greater bulk ; but if he should be able to justify the Presbytery that those which have been enumerated are true, he is persuaded that they will think it need- less to adduce any more proofs to show that this people, as well as your complainant, have just cause to complain ; and that Mr. Annan's labors in Peterborough are without profit to the people, and that his conduct has been irregular, and unbecoming his station as a minister of the gos- pel and a member of your reverend Presbytery, and that you will pro- ceed to infliet such eensure on him as the nature of the offences merit, and as your wisdom shall direct."

There was a prejudice against written sermons in the early settlement, as indicated by a vote in town-meet- ing April 3, 1764,-" Voted, that the Rev. Mr. Mor- row, lately come from Ireland, and is shortly to return, should be our commissioner, and be invested with full power and authority to send to us a faithful min- ister of the gospel, a Calvinist of the Presbyterian Constitution, a preacher of the word, and not a reader !"

" Watts' Hymns " were introduced by a vote of the town at a meeting April 10, 1792. The following vote was passed . " Voted, That Dr. Watts' version of Psalms be used in the congregation of Peterborough for the future ; " also, " Voted, To choose a committee to procure seats in the breast and front of the gallery, decent and comfortable, to accommodate a sufficient number of singers to carry on the singing in as good

order as the circumstances of the congregation will admit of; " also, " Voted, That Robert Smith, John Moore and Thomas Steele be said committee to buy or hire said seats or pews as they shall think best ; " also, "Voted, That Jonathan Smith, John Gray, Oliver Felt and Samuel Smith are to set the tune, and to in- vite such persons to assist them as they think proper."

The town continued without a pastor until 1799, obtaining such supplies of preaching as offered, and giving a regular call to two different individuals. The first was to Rev. Abram Moore, a graduate of Dart- mouth College, 1789. September 25, 1795, a call was extended to him, and was signed by fifty-eight of the leading men in town, his salary voted, and Samuel Smith authorized to prepare a call, and present it to him or to the Presbytery to which he properly be- longs. Nothing more is heard of this matter, whether he accepted or declined, or what broke off the ex- pected engagement ; and, with the exception of Mr. Elihu Thayer, no one in town ever heard that such a man existed. The following are the names of those who signed the call to Rev. Abram Moore, September 21, 1795, viz. :

Moses Cuningham, Samuel Mitchell, David Steele, Samuel Gregg, John Morison, Joseph Hammil, William Alld, William Mulliken, Benja- min Mitchell, John Todd, Peter Thayer, John Gray, Robert Smith, James Miller, Nathaniel Holmes, Robert Swan, Jonathan Smith, Samuel Alld, Samuel Moore, James Richey, Abner Hlaggett, John White, Rich- ard Finch, John Waugh, Samnel McNay, David Hovey, David Steele, Jr., Samuel Wiley, Samuel Miller, David White, Robert Morison, Ezekiel Morison, William Howden, John Gregg, Randall MeAlister, Christopher Thayer, William Moore, Matthew Templeton, Henry Crane, Robert Richey, Samuel Gordon, John Barry, William Nay, Abraham Holmes, llenry Ferguson, Heman Evans, Samuel Smith, Nathaniel Moore, Wil- liam Smith, John Steele, Bartholomew Thayer, Hugh Miller, Samuel Miller, Jr., William White, Richard Hovey, Elihu Penniman, Kelso Gray, Thomas Steele.

Rev. Elijah Dunbar was settled as pastor October 23, 1799, and remained until June 27, 1827. The church edifice was repaired and rededicated Feb- ruary 22, 1826. July 4, 1826, the "Congregational Society in Peterborough " was formed, and the first meeting held January 27, 1827, with General John Steele moderator.

The following is a list of pastors from this time to the present :

Revs. Abiel Abbot, D.D., June 27, 1827, to September 9, 1848; Charles Robinson, December 4, 1851, to July 1, 1839 ; C. B. Ferry, June 13, 1860, to December 1, 1869 ; Isaac F. Porter, June 8, 1870, to August 1, 1872 ; Abraham W. Jackson, January 2, 1873, to 1881. Rev. William W. Wal- bridge became pastor September 1, 1881, and is the present incumbent.

The Union Evangelical Church .- The Presbyte- rian Church was organized in 1822, being a secession of members of the Congregational Church who were not pleased with the Congregational form, and others who could not adopt the liberal views of Dr. Dunbar's society.

The first house of worship was erected in 1825, at Gordon's Corner, and was dedicated October 4th of the same year. This building was occupied until 1839. In 1840 the present church edifice was erected in the village.

PETERBOROUGH.

The first pastor was Rev. Peter Holt, of Epping, from March, 1826, to March, 1835. The society was without a pastor from 1837 to 1840. Rev. N. Pine was pastor from June 8, 1836, to January, 1837, and Rev. J. Barrett supplied till February, 1839; J. R. French was installed March 18, 1840, and remained until 1847 ; Henry J. Lamb was pastor from July 14, 1847, to December, 1852.

During the year 1851, much dissatisfaction existing with the preaching of Mr. Lamb, a number of the mem- bers of the Presbyterian Church, by the decision of the Presbytery of Londonderry, were recommended to different churches in the vicinity. In 1853 the same persons, with others, were, by advice of council, or- ganized into a Congregational Church, whose officers were Nathaniel H. Moore, Joel Fay and Andrew A. Farnsworth. April 21, 1858, the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches, by mutual consent, and advice of a reference committee for both parties, were organized into a church to be known by the name of the Union Evangelical Church.

Rev. George Dustan was ordained pastor of this church in October, 1859, and remained its efficient pastor more than a quarter of a century. He was succeeded February 26, 1885, by the present pastor, Rev. Austin H. Ball.

In 1860 the church edifice was repaired and en- larged at a cost of about three thousand dollars, and in 1873 a neat and commodious chapel was erected costing nearly two thousand dollars.

Methodist Church .- Methodist services were first held in this town by Rev. Z. Adams, in 1819. The church was organized in October, 1824. The first class consisted of Adam and Phebe Penniman, John Shearer, Jean White, Elizabeth and Fanny Gregg.

The society worshiped in school-houses, private dwellings and the town-house until 1840. September 16th of that year their first house of worship was dedicated.

The following is a list of the pastors to the present time :

1834-35, Joseph Allen ; 1835-37, Amos Kidder ; 1837-39, John Jones ; 1839-40, J. C. Cromack ; 1840-41, B. D. Brewster ; 1841-42, C. H. Chase ; 1842-44, James Adams; 1844-45, Moses A. Howe ; 1845-46, Elijah Mason ; 1846-47, Franklin Furber ; 1847-49, Rufus Tilton ; 1849-51, John llayes ; 1851-53, George S. Dearborn ; 1853-54, C. M.

Baptist Church .- The Baptist Church was organ- ized December 19, 1822. Jonathan Faxon was the first deacon and Moses Dodge the first clerk. Elder John Cummings, who organized the church, supplied them with preaching for several years. The first regular pastor was Rev. Asa Niles, who remained during 1825-26. The following have been his suc- cessors :

Revs. John Peacock (supply), Z. Jones, 1840-43 ; J. M. Chick, 1848- 52; J. B. Breed, 1866-67; W. O. Ayer, 1871-74; C. F. Myers, 1875 ; Rev. David Gage, from November, 1880, to May 1, 1881 ; Rev. E.
