All the above is a complete record, as far as can be ascertained, of the membership of the Congrega- tional Church since its formation. Of the clergymen who have ministered to the church a full account cannot be given. Sometimes, at periods intervening between the resignations and ordinations of differ- ent pastors, the pulpit was supplied for a year or less by clergymen of whom there is no record. The first clergyman was the Rev. J. A. E. Long. He was born in Amesbury, Mass., and was a son of Nathan Long. He graduated at Harvard College in 1818, and afterwards at the Cambridge Divinity School; was ordained as an evangelist in Kensing- ton, N. H., in April, 1822. After preaching a year he removed and labored as an evangelist in different places, and quite successfully in Hooksett a few years prior to the formation of the Congregational Church, when he was accepted as a settled preacher. He was in Lyman, Me., in 1836, and afterwards la- bored a short time in Kensington. He afterwards settled in Hooksett, and for a number of years was a conspicuous person, known as "Priest Long." Many people living can relate pleasing anecdotes of his suave temperament, polished manner and somewhat eccentric habits. He died suddenly in 1859, leaving a wife, son and daughter. His widow is now living at the age of eighty-seven, in Chelsea, Mass. Mr. Long wax succeeded by Rev. Charles Boyter. Mr. Boyter was a missionary and was first installed at Springfield, N. H., in June, 1828. After preaching there two years, he preached at different parts until his location in Hooksett, in 1833, where he labored until 1835. Hle afterwards preached in Acworth, N. II. April 30, 1835, Rev. Humphrey

HISTORY OF MERRIMACK COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Moore was ordained as pastor, and acted until 1836. He afterwards preached in Merrimack, Amherst, Greenfield. He was succeeded by Rev. W. C. Green- lief, in 1837, and he, in 1838, by Rev. S. E. Jewett, who preached an indefinite period with some other cler- gymen of whom no record is made. On the last Sabbath of February, 1846, Rev. James W. Perkins commenced his labors. August 30, 1846, the present house of worship was dedicated. It was erected this year by contributions, the largest contributors being Samnel Head and wife. The Rev. Mr. Perkins labored until 1848. He preached in Francestown in 1844; in Alstead, 1846; Hillsborough in 1852, where his health gave out June 16, 1852.

Rev. John Lawrence became pastor in 1848. He ministered to the people until 1850. Mr. Lawrence is still living at an old age in Cambridge, Mass. On December 5, 1850, Rev. J. W. Tarlton was ordained. Mr. Tarlton was a son of William and Comfort (Wallace) Tarlton; was born in Epsom, N. H., February 19, 1817 ; prepared for college at Homer, N. Y. ; gradu- ated at Dartmouth College, 1842; teacher in Boston 1842-44; student at Yale Theological Seminary two years and Andover Theological School one year. He was without charge at Boston, Mass., 1855-68, and Watertown, Mass., from 1868 till death. Sometimes en- gaged in evangelistic labors, and acting pastor at North Chelsea (Revere), two years. Married, February 3, 1854, Betsey Dutton, daughter of Deacon Roger and Rachel (Sawyer) Dutton, of Hooksett, N. H. Died in Watertown, of congestion of the liver and lungs, February 27, 1883, aged sixty-six years. Rev. William Forbes was ordained November 8, 1855, and was supported until May 2, 1857, when he sent in his resignation, but continued to serve until December 23, 1858, when he was dismissed. He afterwards preached in Deerfield. Mr. Forbes was succeeded by the Rev. E. H. Caswell, who occupied the pulpit one year, until May 31, 1860, when he ceased his labors. On July 8, 1860, Rev. Marvin Leffingwell commenced to supply the pulpit ; after preaching two years Sab- baths, was engaged for one year. Mr. Leffingwell preached until the year 1865. During this time he strongly advocated the cause of the Union in the pulpit and out. He was succeeded by Rev. A. Burn- ham, who performed the duties of pastor from July 16, 1865, until March 31, 1872. Mr. Burnham was a devoted Christian, a thorough scholar, and his memory is indelibly imprinted on the minds of many who live in Hooksett. He died a few years ago in West Stewartstown, N. H. The church was supplied by different preachers until the year 1873, when the Methodist and Congregational Churches were united. This departure was followed by an era of great suc- cess, when church matters and attendance were greatly enhanced. The Congregationalist members earnestly acquiesced in supporting Methodist preachers. The Rev. J. E. Robbins was the first pastor under the new order of things, he serving until 1876 with great

success. Mr. Robbins has preached in Plymouth, Lebanon and Portsmouth since, and is now presiding elder in the Claremont District. The next was Rev. B. W. Chase (Methodist), who served one year, after- wards preaching in Sunapee and the West. Mr. Chase was succeeded by Rev. S. G. Kellogg (Metho- dist), three years. Rev. Mr. Kellogg is a distinguished minister, has been presiding elder, and since has preached in Marlow three years, and is now at Suna- pee, N. H. The next call was made to Rev. Charles H. Taintor (Congregationalist). Mr. Taintor preached in Weare, N. H., one year, before locating in Hook- sett, and prior to that period was an evangelist. Mr. Taintor's administration, from 1880 to 1882, was a fruitful one. He labored with much zeal and earnest- ness. The records show more accessions of new members by profession than under any administration of his predecessors. His estimable wife was an earnest colaborer in the cause. Mr. Taintor, after deliberate consideration was very pronounced and earnest, and he did much towards shaping and perfecting the affairs and records of the Congregational Church. Mr. Taintor was called to Milford, N. H., where he labored with his usual success for two years. He is now secretary of the Congregational Church Building Society in the West, with headquarters at Chicago. Mr. Taintor was succeeded by Rev. J. C. Rollins, who commenced to supply the pulpit in November, 1882. He was previously located in Webster two years, supplying the Methodist Episcopal Church. In June, 1883, he received a call from the Union Church to set- tle with them as their pastor, being ordained and in- stalled June 27, 1883. Rev. C. W. Wallace, D.D., preached the sermon. In the words of one of the council, "the examination was more than satis- factory." During Mr. Rollins' term the church was remodeled inside and out at an expense of about fifteen hundred dollars, and before the close of his work every cent of debt of church, society and Sunday- school was paid in full. Mr. Rollins was called to the pastorate of the Milford Church December, 1884, and was installed February 27, 1885. Mr. Rollins' service in Hooksett was successful, displaying rare talent as a preacher of power and worth. His ministrations in Milford are successful, and large congregations assemble to hear his brilliant pleadings. Since the building of the church numerous improvements have been made. A bell was given the church in the year 1852 by a number of contributors. In the year 1879, Deacon Hiram Austin, Martin L. Otterson and Frank C. Towle were appointed trustees to receive a legacy of five hundred dollars bequeathed to the church by Mary Young. In the year 1882, Jabez Green presented a deed to the society of the parsonage lot and building, valued at about fifteen hundred dollars; also, Mrs. Jabez Green, the same year, donated a silver communion service, costing seventy- five dollars. These monuments of philanthropy speak praises to the noble benefactors, who are still living

at this time. The following deacons have served the church : Roger Dutton, Hugh Taggart, Luther Shedd, Hiram Austin, Martin L. Otterson.

Methodist Church .- The earliest recollection of Methodist preaching was between the years 1820- 30. An Orthodox sentiment had been established before any organization took place in the Methodist creed. Methodism, with its customs and forms of worship, in the olden times, was somewhat generally ridiculed by believers in Orthodoxy and Presby- terianism. A healthy sentiment had generally become aroused in the Methodist faith, and a large society was organized. The first preaching that was regularly sustained was held in the brick building now owned by George A. Colby. It was then owned by Hall & Rowe. Afterwards meetings were held in the hall of the old tavern-stand, now the residence of Widow Walter B. Jones. After the town-house was built, in 1828, the inside was fitted with pews, and a great many came into possession of members of the Metho- dist Society. As there was no accessible record, a complete history of the society cannot be given. In the year 1831, Rev. Orlando Hinds was the pastor. In the year 1832, Rev. Nahum Howe supplied the church. Again, in the year 1835, Rev. Mr. Hinds supplied the pulpit. The church was for a number of years supplied from the Methodist Episcopal College at Concord. In the year 1856 there was a great re- ligious revival, conducted by a man by the name of Fox. Many accessions to the church membership took place during this period. In the early history of the church Rev. James Pike supplied the pulpit for two years. While he acted as pastor a camp-meeting was held in the woods formerly standing on the farm of the late Thomas N. Head. It was an important event at that time. In the records, of which there are only some fragments to be found, the names of the following persons as " members of the board " appear : Alvah Colby, George Davis, Nathaniel Mitchel, C. H. Wheeler, J. R. Hall, Simeon Batchelder, Sum- ner Ordway, Josiah Prescott. In 1857, Joseph Scott and Gilbert H. Winans supplied the church with forty-three members. In 1858, preacher in charge, Rev. Truman Caster ; membership, sixty-three. In 1860, Rev. Charles H. Vinton, pastor ; member- ship, sixty-seven. In 1862, Rev. C. R. Haman, pastor ; membership, fifty-four. In 1863, Rev. Jos. T. Hand, pastor; in 1864, S. Donaldson, pastor ; in 1870-71, Rev. H. H. Hartwell, pastor ; in 1872-73, Rev. C. W. Taylor, pastor. In the year 1873 the Methodists joined with the Congregationalists and formed a Union Society. On May 18, 1885, Rev. N. M. Learned, late of Los Angeles, Cal. (Methodist), was engaged to supply the Union Church in Hooksett for one year. He is now the acting pastor, and has met with a kind reception.

Universalist Society .- There was no regular or- ganized society of the Universalists until the year 1858. There were meetings held previously, and such noted clergymen as Rev. Silvanus Cobb and Rev.

Philip Brooks have preached here in Hooksett in earlier days. The first regular settled pastor was the Rev. Samuel Thompson. He was a native of Nova Scotia, and was a preacher of ability. He resided in town until 1863. The meetings were held in the company's hall. The composition of the society embraced many of the best people in town. Mr. Thompson had two sons, who enlisted in the War of the Rebellion, and were credited to this town. There are many residents who are firm believers in the Universalist creed, but wor- ship with other sectarian denominations.

Adventism .- The Advent doctrine has been preach- ed in town about thirty years. In the year 1858 there were a few people in town who prepared for the second coming of Christ. There is no organized so- ciety, but preaching has been held publicly in halls, school-houses and groves in different sections of the town. Many remember the local expounders of this doctrine in the persons of Enoch Holt and wife, Or- lando Marshall and wife, and, at the present time, Daniel C. Elliott and others. The Bible is their study, and passage after passage can be repeated by the fol- lowers of this religious belief.

Catholic .- There is no Catholic Church in town, but there is an estimated population of over six hun- dred whoare followers of this faith. About two miles from Hooksett village is a Catholic Church. It is in the limits of Allenstown, more properly called (South Side) Suncook. In the erection of this church, the expense was approximately borne by the Catholic people in this town. Since the establishment of this church the moral standard has improved, and the whole community is more law-abiding.

Physicians .- The first regular doctor who resided within our boundaries before the formation of the town was Dr. John Dustin, who lived at Martin's Ferry in 1775. His widow lived there in 1818. He was a physician of some note, and traveled considerably to find pa- tients. The next of whom there is any record was Dr. Samuel Huston. He located some time before the town was incorporated, about the year 1817. He had an office in the house of Hon. Richard H. Ayer, and lived in his family. He continued to practice, with great success, until 1824. After the town was incor- porated, in 1822, there arose two political factions in the dominant party, called the Ayer and IIall factions. Dr. Huston was an active supporter of Ayer, but through some family trouble he left the house of Ayer and went to William Hall's to live. In the mean time he supported Hall. This bitterness of feeling was carried into politics with much earnest- ness, which created family feuds. Scandalous reports were soon circulated about an irregular intimacy be- tween Huston and Hall's wife. One morning the fire of the Hall family became extinguished, and as it was the custom in those days to borrow fire, a member went to the house of Henry Moulton to procure the same. A feeling of hatred existed previously between the families. A nephew, whose name was Moulton, who

HISTORY OF MERRIMACK COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

was a blacksmith, accosted the borrower of the fire with the insinuation that Dr. Huston was paying too many attentions to Mr. Hall's wife. This was immediate- ly reported to the Hall family. Soon afterwards William Hall, Dr. Huston and Samuel Roach and other mem- bers of the family repaired to the Moulton blacksmith- shop, armed with hoop-poles, to castigate him for cir- culating such stories. A bloody fight ensued, when more than a dozen men became involved. No lives were lost, but some serious flesh-wounds were made. The result of this fight ended with a complicated law- suit between the Moultons and Halls. The Halls were embarrassed financially by this litigation, and quietly, in the year 1824, the Halls, Dr. Huston and Saniuel Roach disappeared, and were not heard from afterwards. It is supposed that they emigrated to Ohio. This ended the most noted family fight that has ever occurred in Hooksett. Dr. Samuel Huston was called a skillful physician, with a fine physique, affa- ble in manner, and in the prime of manhood when living in town at that time. The next regular physi- cian was Dr. Asa Sawyer. He was born in Sandown, N. H., and educated at the Atkinson Academy, and studied medicine with Dr. Amos Gale, of Kingston. He commenced to practice in Dillsburg, Pa. He practiced there fifteen years, selling out his practice, and came to Hooksett with a competence, and bought the McConnell farm in Bow, on the River road, after- wards purchasing the Hall land in Hooksett. He afterwards purchased the Merrill place, in Pembroke, where he moved to educate his children. He went into business in Pittsfield a short time. He then moved to Keysville, N. Y., where he was engaged in the brewery business, when he died about the year 1859. Dr. Enoch B. Barnes practiced in Hooksett until the year 1834. He was a successful practi- tioner. Dr. Barnes, like Dr. Sawyer, was a public- spirited man. He held many offices in the gift of the town. He married a daughter of Hon. Richard H. Ayer. A complete sketch could not be made, as in- formation regarding him could not easily be collected. Dr. A. B. Story practiced after Dr. Gale, in the years 1845-46, and was succeeded by Dr. Horace Gage.

Dr. Amos G. Gale was the next established doctor. He was a son of Dr. Amos Gale, of Kingston, and was born in that town February 17, 1807. He was a grandson of Dr. Josiah Bartlett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and one of the ear- liest Governors of New Hampshire after the adoption of the State Constitution. His grandfather on his paternal side was also a physician. For over one hundred years his ancestors were connected with the medical profession, and each of his four brothers were practitioners. The subject of this notice studied medicine with his brother, Dr. Ezra Gale, of Kings- ton, and Dr. Levi B. Gale, of Boston, and took the degree of M.D. at the medical school connected with Dartmouth College. He commenced practice in Hooksett in 1833 and remained here until 1845.

During his residence in town he married Mary Greene Ayer, a daughter of Hon. Richard H. Ayer. He removed to Manchester about the year 1846, where he was in active practice until his death. Dr. Gale while in Hooksett was beloved by all, was in- terested in town affairs, was postmaster from 1833 to 1845, and was actively engaged in business with Mr. Ayer. The following appeared in the Daily American on January 25, 1861 :

"As a physician, Dr. Gale was among the highest in rank, and was a very successful practitioner. As a man and a citizen, he was upright in all his dealinge, and io all his intercourse with others he was remarkably simple in his manners aod courteons to all, whatever might be their rank in life. He was always ready to respond to all reasonable demande upon his generosity, and took a lively interest in the prosperity and rep- utation of the city. In politics he was a Democrat ; thongh liberal in his views and feelings in regard to the abstract ideas of human rights, he was conservative in his opinions relating to questions of public policy. During the last few years of his life his mind was much ocenpied with matters pertaining to religion, and though he was enrrounded with everything which could minister to his personal enjoyment, nothing de- lighted him so much as to confer with his friends in regard to the nature of the soul and to trace the operations of the Divine law. Though his opinions upon these subjects were not the most popular, they, in no considerations whatever, could deter him from making a candid avowal of his convictions. He never wished to be esteemed beyond his merits, nor songht for the public applause. Now that he is gone, it is hut justice to say that our city has lost one of its most worthy citizens, and the poor and unfortunate a benefactor aod friend."

Horace Gage, M.D., succeeded Dr. Gale about the year 1845. He was born in Hopkinton, N. H., Feb- ruary 14, 1811. He was left an orphan at the early age of four years. He was bound out to farming a few years and then learned the wheelwright trade. He worked at this business a while in Lowell, Mass., then went on a voyage to the South ; was on a whale- ship. He had then a good common-school education, but on his return from sea spent two years at the Hopkinton Academy and in teaching school. In 1835 he commenced the study of medicine; attended a course of lectures at the Berkshire Medical College; also, in 1837, attended a course at the Cincinnati Medical College, and was in the hospitals in that city one year. He afterwards returned to Berkshire College and took another course of lectures and graduated in 1838. He then commenced to practice in Wilmot, N. H .; afterwards settled in East Weare. He settled in Hooksett in the year 1845, where he remained until his death, in the year 1875. He married Miss Louise Putney, of Dunbarton, by whom he had one son, Horace P. Gage, now living. Dr. Gage was all his life a close student, and at the time of his death there were few better read medical men in the State. He was a sympathetic man, industrious, in politics a strong Democrat, and acquired a large practice, leaving a snug little fortune. During Dr. Gage's residence in town a number of physicians located for the purpose of business, but their stay was transient.

On April 7, 1872, Dr. Alvah M. Dam opened an office in town. He was born at Springvale, Me., on February 19, 1851. Graduated, at the University of New York (Medical Department) February 21, 1872.

He continued here until the fall of 1873. He was a native of Maine, and a young man of ability. He moved from here to Suncook, where he gained a wide reputation as a temperance orator and agitator. He is now in business in Boston as manager of a medicine company. Ira H. Adams, M.D., bought out the practice of Dr. Dam, and commenced to practice in Hooksett November 17, 1874. He was born in Pom- fret, Windsor County, Vt., August 10, 1846 ; attended the common schools ; took a course of study at the State Normal School, Randolph, Vt. ; was licensed to teach in that State, and followed the business five years. He again entered school, as a pupil, at Kim- ball Union Academy, where he graduated in the class of 1872. He studied medicine with Hubert Sleeper, M.D., of Meriden, N. H .; also at the Dartmouth Medical College, from which he graduated in Novem- ber, 1874. Heimmediately commenced to practice in Hooksett, where he remained until March 15, 1882, when he moved to Derry Depot, N. H., where he is still in active practice. August 31, 1875, he was married to Louise S. Perley, of Lempster, N. H. They have two children born to them. Dr. Adams was public-spirited, took an interest in public schools and was a valuable man in the community. He has a large practice in Derry. Dr. Adams was succeeded by Francis D. Randall, M.D. Dr. Randall was a native of Deerfield, and was educated at the Pembroke and New Hampton Academies. He read medicine with Dr. E. S. Berry, of Candia, and grad- uated from the Burlington Medical College in 1880, He practiced in Deerfield one year, and located in Hooksett in March, 1882. He is considered a skillful physician, and promises to rank high in the medical fraternity. He married Fannie Prescott, of Deer- field.
