HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. H.
portion of it. The block was greatly damaged by fire in 1870, but put to a severer test in 1886 and put beyond repair, but there was compensation in the present elegant and substantial brick structure as the outcome of apparent misfortune.
Factory street must not be passed without mention for upon it was done a large amount of business, indeed, there were more stores and trade than on Main street. Merrill & Kimball, Reed & Slader, Mark A. Adams, William S. Anderson all had dry goods. Jonathan Hosmer, dry goods, clocks, and variety store. John Osborne, confectioner, and the only one of the list still living, is "doing business at the old stand."
Passing to the opposite corner still stands the Hunt building. Joseph Wyman made clocks and repaired watches on the first floor after the postoffice was removed to Atwood's building. Later White & Hill occupied it for a drug store. Mr. White took a lease of the building and raised it a story, and made two stores in front as appears to-day. The office of the Nashua Gazette had its editorial rooms on the second floor and composing and press rooms on the third floor until removed to Tuttle's building.
This brings us to another distinguished hotel, the "Washington house," kept for some years by Thomas Chase, who sold out to John Gray. Like the Indian Head Coffee house it was built of wood, with piazza in front, with massive columns two stories in height, supporting the piazza roof. The main building was forty by thirty, with two stories, and high chambers in the roof. The L was two stories. The building was on the north end of the lot fronting on Main street, with a large open space on the south extending to the Universalist church building, being the lot now occupied by Noyes block. In the rear of the open yard stood the necessary stables to complete "accommodations for man and beast." In connection with it was the livery stable of Capt. S. F. Wright, and later of Charles H. Parker. The captain could always turn out a first-class team. "Tecumseh " and mate were an elegant pair of greys. Good sleighing brought out the competition in teams. Col. I. J. Fox on the north side turned out the "Blue Bird " and "four," but when the captain appeared with the "Gen. Taylor" and "six," with Charlie Parker on the box (or dasher) he "took the cake." Captain Wright shipped this beautiful sleigh to his brother in Chicago and its equal has not been owned in Nashua since. The sleighing parties of to-day cut no figure in comparison to those days. The "Lady," a magnificent sleigh, accommodating thirty to forty, owned by John Hadley of Lowell, usually came here two or three times a week. Hadley was an admirer of a docked tail, well set up, for livery teams and it was the new dress for every horse that became an inmate of his noted livery. "Bob Short " was the trusted jehu for the "Lady " turnout and no "charioteer " felt clothed with greater honor or responsibility than he on such occasions.
Pearl street was the southern limit of trade. The only store upon it, east or west, was that of John Blunt on the corner of Chestnut. Mr. Blunt was a former resident of Amherst, but was moved by the same impulse that brought other business men from that once lively and prosperous town to Nashua in 1836. In due course of business his son, John G., became a partner and the firm of John Blunt & Son continued as one of the leading grocers and other lines of goods, giving special attention to the article of tea, of which the senior had come to be a recognized connoisseur. On retiring from business Mr. Blunt, Sr., returned to Amherst and died there.
The firm name continued, Edward O. Blunt, oldest son of John G., having taken an interest in the business with his father, and thus the style of the house remains the same, although Mr. John G. Blunt died in 1883, honored and respected as an honest, upright man and valued citizen.
On Main street south of Pearl were the residents of some of the early and most substantial citizens-John M. and Israel Hunt, Peter Clark, Thomas Chase, Bernard Whittemore, Paul Morrill, and at the Harbor, Hon. Jesse Bowers, whose house stood near Salmon brook, where the factory of the American Shearer company now stands, but it may still be seen east of the factory on the margin of the pond. Mr. Bowers did quite a little at farming in those days and his cattle barn stood on the corner of Main and Lake streets, where the beautiful residence of Mrs. Benj. Saunders now stands, the yard having its sunny outlook to the south of it.
On the east side of the street was the pottery of Martin Crafts where the watch factory stood, and the watch factory had the Washington house for its street front, having been removed to the lot when Noyes block was built.

HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. H.
Further north was the substantial homestead of Nehemiah Hunt, occupied later by the late Judge Thomas Pearson, and now by his son G. Byron Pearson.
Dr. Micah Eldredge lived in the house that stood where the house of Charles Holman now stands, and John Atwood and N. W. Goddard in the houses south.
Noah Wyeth had a bakery between the Eldredge house and where the Episcopal church building now stands. John D. Kimball lived where Mr. Runnells' house now stands. Mr. Kimball was a manufacturer of sash, doors and blinds, and had an extensive business in dressed lumber. He built a steam mill at the head of Franklin street, known as "Kimball's steam mill. " It shared the usual fate of such structures and was wiped out by flame and never rebuilt.
Franklin street was regarded as the most select, and in some respects the most desirable in the town for residences. Dr. J. G. Graves, Rev. D. D. Pratt, Rev. Austin Richards, Rev. Jonathan McGee, afterwards Rev. M. Hale Smith, Col. William Boardman, Francis Winch, Joel Carter, E. S. Russell, Charles T. Gill, John N. Barr, Walter Mckean and other prominent business men lived there.

APPENDIX I.
GENEALOGY OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF OLD DUNSTABLE.
T HERE is a natural desire in every man to know something of his ancestry, and to the descendants of the early settlers of Dunstable it must be interesting to trace back their families to their origin.
