DOVER.

Banks in Dover .- The first bank in Dover was in- corporated by the Legislature, by an act approved June 11, 1803, under the name of "The President, Directors, and Company of the New Hampshire Strafford Bank," "and shall so continue from the fourth day of July next until the expiration of twenty years next following."

"The capital stock of said corporation shall con- sist of a sum not less than $50,000, nor more than $150,000."

The corporators were William K. Atkinson, William Hale, Amos Cogswell, Ezra Green, John Wheeler, Henry Mellen, Daniel M. Durell, and Oliver Crosby. The first president was William King Atkinson. The following persons have also held the office of president : William IIale, John Wheeler, Oliver Crosby, Daniel Osborne, Moses llodgdon. The first cashier was Walter Cooper. He left the bank in 1817 ; he died in about 1824; he was succeeded by William Woodman, who continued in office until the expiration of its State charter, about 1843. William Woodman was born in Newburyport, Mass., Dec. 18, 1782 ; and died Jan. 30, 1868.

A new act extending its charter was accepted at the annual meeting July 1, 1822.

The bank was kept in a two-story wooden building which was on the east side of Central Street, and nearly opposite Angle Street. About the year 1825 it was sold to Amos White' and removed into Angle Street, where it still remains, and is owned and occu- pied as a dwelling-house by Patrick Kivel.

Amos White built a three-story brick building on the bank lot, the south part of which he occupied. The north part was built over and around the old stone vault, and was owned and occupied by the Strafford Bank during its existence as a State bank. That north part was afterwards sold to Wells Wal- dron, who now owns and occupies it as a dwelling.

We come now to its successor, the STRAFFORD BANK. July 9, 1846, an act was passed incorporating Daniel Osborne, William Hale, John H. Wheeler, D. M. Christie, Nathaniel Young, George Andrews. William Hale, Jr., Moses Paul, John Currier, Joseph Morrill, Jeremy Perkins, and William Woodman by the name and style of the Strafford Bank, to continue to June 1,1867.

directors William Burr, who died Nov. 5, 1866, aged sixty ; Noah Martin (Governor), died May 28, 1863, aged sixty-two.

William Woodman was chosen president, which office he held during the bank's existence as a State institution, to June 30, 1865.

Asa A. Tufts was chosen cashier, which office he held to June 30, 1865.

This bank in 1847 built the brick and stone build- ing on Washington Street, opposite the City Hall, which is now occupied by the Strafford National Bank, and moved into it in November, 1847.

July 1, 1865, the Strafford Bank surrendered its State charter, and accepted a charter from the United States, under the name of the Strafford National Bank, to continue twenty years. The old officers- directors, president, and cashier-were re-chosen to the same offices in the new bank, and occupy and own the same building. Its capital is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ;

After the death of William Woodman, Jan. 30, 1868, E. D. Chamberlin and D. M. Christie were re- spectively chosen president, but declined serving, and William T. Stevens was chosen president.

Its first cashier was John Wendell Mellen; its first president, Andrew Peirce; last president was Daniel M. Christie. He (Mellen) must have resigned as early as 1828, for in the year 1828 Jonathan Dame was chosen cashier, and probably held the office until the expiration of the charter in 1844.

CHAPTER CXXV.

DOVER .- (Continued.)

The War of 1861-65 .- In the evening of the President's first call the citizens of Dover met in the City Hall. The mayor, Alphonso Bickford, presided. The first two speakers were John P. Hale and Joseph H. Smith, both recognized as leaders in the opposing political parties. The resolutions, introduced by HIon. Charles W. Woodman, and unanimously adopted, were these :

" Whereas the authority of the Federal Govern- ment of the United States has been denied, the Flag of the country fired upon, and the forts, arsenals, and other public property seized, and a series of ontrages and wrongs perpetrated for months upon the Govern- ment, whose forbearance had been received as proof of pusillanimity, till open and flagrant war has been wantonly and causelessly waged upon the government and people of the United States, and the President has been forced to appeal to the People to maintain by force the honor, dignity, and continued existence of the Government they have established ; therefore

" Resolved, In answer to said appeal of the Presi- dent, that we, the citizens of Dover, feeling that our country is above party, hereby pledge ourselves to sustain the administration of the General Government in the manly and patriotic position assumed by the President in his recent proclamation, and that we cheerfully and readily tender to the Governor of this State, and through him to the President of the United States, our full proportion of such volunteer force as may be required of this State.

" Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed at this meeting to obtain the names of at least one hundred men, who will hold themselves ready at the shortest notice to march wherever the demands of the country and the order of the government shall require."

On Wednesday, the 17th, by authority of the Gov- ernor of this State, George W. Colbath opened a re- cruiting-office in our City Hall. On Thursday he in- formed the Governor that the first company was full. He was directed to proceed with enlistments. On the next Monday one hundred and fifty men were on the muster-roll.

On the 18th of April the City Councils voted to raise the flag upon the City Hall, to give the hall for a drill-room, and unanimously determined to assist the families of the soldiers in the following terms,-the beginning of aid cheerfully given for years :

"Whereas civil war has been inaugurated, our glorious Union assailed, and our institutions endan- gered ; and

" Whereas our fellow-citizens promptly and cheer- fully answered to the call of the government for aid in this its hour of peril ; therefore

" Resolved, By the City Council of the city of Dover that the sum of $10,000, or so much thereof as may be needed, be and hereby is appropriated for the bene- fits and wants of the families of those who have re- sponded or shall respond to the call of the country for the support of the Constitution and Laws."

On the 23d the members of the Strafford Medical Association resident in Dover issued an offer to give their professional services gratuitously to those fam- ilies ; the first signature on the list appropriately being that of a distinguished fellow-citizen, Noah Martin, a former Governor of this State.

On the 26th one counted the flags that were float- ing in the air. There were forty of them from the houses in our streets :

" Forty flags with their silver stars, Forty flags with their crimson bars."

On Monday, the 29th, the first two companies were to leave home, to become Companies A and B of the First New Hampshire. On the day before they had listened to a stirring sermon in the old First Church from a successor of that minister who had preached to the soldiers here on the same spot as they were to take up their march for Cambridge in 1775. At ten o'clock, Monday morning, they were in line in Cen- tral Square, 145 men in the ranks. Four thousand people witnessed the scene,-in the streets, from win- dows, from balconies, from the house-tops. The women had been working day by day to supply needed clothing, some of them whose tears dropped as they sewed. Prayer was offered by one who soon after himself went to serve in the war-vessels,-Rev. . T. G. Salter.

A third company was meanwhile formed from the excess of enlistments. Orders now came, however, to receive only those who would enlist for three years. On the 11th of May the choice was given to each,- three years or be discharged.

Seventy-one on that day chose the three years, and five days afterwards the number was one hundred and four. On the 25th, that company left the city to be- come Company D in that gallant Second New Hamp- shire.

Of how many men this city furnished during the four years that followed the record is not perfect. Even in the imperfect rolls there were Dover men in each of the first fifteen regiments and in the Eigh- teenth, in the cavalry, the navy, and the marine corps. From the call of July 2, 1862, five hundred and eighty- two names are on record. Prior to that were all the first men of the first eight regiments, and of the sailors entering the navy before that date which should be added. Some examination of the rolls shows that
