THE SPRING STREET CEMETERY.

This cemetery formerly occupied the lot of land where the High schoolhouse is now located on Spring street.

Previous to the erection of the High school building this land had been, for many years used as a cemetery under the control of the town and city authorities, although the title to the same was in the Nashua Manufacturing company.

When the erection of a schoolhouse upon the land was first broached, there was much and decided opposition, many of the citizens being strongly prejudiced against the location. But after considerable wrangling and discussion the city councils voted in favor of the cemetery site.

On July 9, 1872, the company conveyed the lot to the city by a quit claim deed, in which it was stipulated that it was to be used for the location of a public school building or buildings, and that, in case said land or any part thereof should be used for other purposes, it should revert to the grantor.

The removal of the remains of the dead, therein buried, to the Hollis Street cemetery commenced soon after this transfer and continued until completed. The old tombstones thus removed are still standing in the Hollis Street, now Woodlawn, cemetery.

THE IRISH CATHOLIC CEMETERY.

This cemetery is situated in Hudson, on the Londonderry road, about two and one-half miles from the City Hall building. The original lot, which contained ten acres, was conveyed by James L., John P. and Edgar B. Pierce, all of this city, to Rt. Rev. David W. Bacon, bishop of Portland, Sept. 6, 1856, in consideration of one hundred and forty dollars.

The cemetery is rectangular in shape, well laid out, and contains some beautiful and costly monuments. It was purchased for and consecrated to the use, more especially, of the Irish Catholic citizens of Nashua, and within its sacred precincts lie most of their dead for the past forty years. Several hundred of the deceased of the French Catholics are also interred within its limits. At the present time it contains about four thousand graves. The following is a list of the soldiers of the Civil War whose remains are here awaiting the final call of the Grand Commander :-

EBENEZER DEARBORN, M. D.

Ebenezer Dearborn. M. D., was born at Chester, July 30, 1793, died at Nashua, Jan. 9, 1883. His father, Jonathan Dearborn, was a great grandson of Thomas Dearborn, second son of Godfrey Dearborn, patriarch of the Dear- born family that came to America from the county of Devon in England early in the seventeenth century and settled in Exeter, now Stratham, Mass., about 1639. The name is one of the best known in United States history, many of the de- scendants having held high commis- sions in all its wars and filled high stations in the civil govern- ment and the pro- fessions. His mother, Delja (Robie ) Dearborn, was a descendant of John Robie, who settled in Hampton. Doc- tor Dearborn was educated at Chester and Ando- ver, Mass. He studied medicine with his brother, Edward Dearborn, M. D., at Sea- brook, and with Thomas Kitt- redge, M. D., of Andover, Mass. ; he attended lec- tures at Boston, Mass., and also at Hanover, receiv- ing his degree of M. D. from Dart- mouth Medical college in 1821. Doctor Dearborn settled in Dunsta- ble, now Nashua, in 1816, and fol- lowed his profes- sion steadily for fifty years. He was a man of sterling character, skilled in his profession, and active and useful in public and pri- vate affairs. He was one of a small group of earnest and energetic men who laid the foundations of the prosperous city of Nashua of 1896.

Doctor Dearborn held many places of trust among his fellow citizens, and in more than anything else that affected the people was a promoter of education. He served many years on the board of trustees of the Nashua Literary institution and did efficient work as a member of the town school committee. He was a member of the board of selectmen and held several other offices, besides

interesting himself in whatever tended to aid in the growth of the town. After Nashua and Nashville united and became a city he was honored by his constituents and was a member of the board of aldermen in 1860 and in 1861. Doctor Dearborn was a director in the Nashua State bank twenty years, a projector and director in the Worcester & Nashua railroad, a member and president of the New Hampshire Medical society, also a member of the Massachusetts Medical society.

Doctor Dearborn was united in marriage in 1816, with Hannah (Davis) Dyson, daughter of John and Han- nah Dyson of Beverly, Mass. Mr. Dyson, her father, was born in England. He came to this coun- try early in life and settled at Beverly, where he was a prosperous shipping mer- chant and promi- nent citizen. Of their children four reached mature years and three are still living : Hannah Maria, born in Beverly, Mass .; Charles Ebenezer, born in Nashua, graduat- ed at Dartmouth college in 1842, dentist in Boston, married Caroline Marie Lawrence of Pepperell, Mass .; Henrietta Louise, born in Nashua, married Darius R. Emer- son of Boston, merchant ; Dyson, born in Nashua, married Lorinda Sherman, died in Nashua in 1894, re- spected by all as a worthy citizen and a genial man.

ELIJAH COLBURN, M. D.

Elijah Colburn, M. D., was born in Hudson, Sept. S. 1795; died in Nashua, Jan. 13, 1881. He was a son of Zacheus Colburn, born Feb. 16, 1765; died Oct. 10, 1851, and Rachael (Hills) Colburn, born April 10, 1785; died Sept. 23, 1840, and who were united in marriage at Hud- son, April 29, 1785. Both were descendants of the pioneers of Nottingham West, as Hudson was then called. They were a hardy, industrious and God-fearing race of

208

HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. HI.

men and women who tilled ancestral acres, took good care of their own and sought to do their whole duty by their neighbors. In a word the Colburns and Hills of Hudson have been among the most progressive and hon- ored people of the town for nearly, if not quite, two centuries.

Doctor Colburn was an apt scholar and ambitious from his youth. He obtained such knowledge as was imparted at the public schools and was graduated at the Harvard Medical college with the degree of M. D. in 1823. After obtaining his di- ploma he prac- ticed a short time in his native town. A little later, in 1823 or 1824, he settled perma- nently in Nashua and was the first, or one of the first. physicians to lo- cate in this then sparsely settled locality. Certain- ly he was the first to travel with a horse, and first to practice to any ex- tent in the sur- rounding towns. It was at the time the foundation was being laid for the mills of the Nashua Manufac- turing company, of which Doctor Colburn purchas- ed the land upon which he built the residence in which he lived and died. His office for many years was on Tem- ple street on the site of the Odd Fellows' building and during the latter part of his life in an annex on the north side of his residence on Main street. Doc- tor Colburn had a long and useful career. As a physician and surgeon he was among the very best in his generation, a man in whom the community put implicit confidence. Doctor Colburn's early struggles to obtain an education made a lasting impression upon his life. If any one cause more than another had his hearty co-operation it was this. He helped along those who sought to better their condition, and was for many years a member of the board of trustees of the Nashua Literary institution, and a member of the school committee before Nashua became a city. He was also one of the grantees of the Nashua Gas Light company

and one of its early presidents. Doctor Colburn was also active in other bodies, being a member of the Unitarian church, and of Rising Sun lodge, A. F. and A. M., of which body he was the worshipful master in 1843 and 1811. In a word he lived an honorable life and fulfilled his duties to the community, his family and his God with earnest fidelity.

Doctor Colburn was united in marriage June 22, 1826, with Sarah Belknap of Framingham, Mass.

Mrs. Colburn was born Oct. 16, 1806, and is still living. She is a daughter of Luther Bel- knap, who was one of the most promi- nent men of his time in the section of Massachusetts in which Framing- ham is located. He was born Nov. 7, 1789; died Feb. 16, 1855; was rep- resentative to the general court of Massachusetts, justice of the peace, twenty-two years selectman, and seventeen years town clerk. His wife, Hepsi- bath Brown of Sudbury, Mass .- born July 28, 1769, died Aug. 5, 1852 ;

ELIJAH COLBURN. M. D.

was left an orphan when a small child and was adopted by her uncle, Adam Howe, who was landlord of the hostelry at Sudbury, made famous by Long- fellow's beautiful poem, "Tales of a Wayside Inn." She lived with her uncle till her marriage, and throughout her life was a cour- ageous and model woman, enjoying the respect and esteem of her friends, and, at her decease, leaving to her children a legacy of loving words. The children of Doctor and Sarah (Belknap) Colburn were: Luther B., born at Nashua, Sept. 15, 1827, died June 25, 1832; Edwin A., born at Nashua, Dec. 13, 1829, married Anna S. Dodge of Antrim, June 26, 1861, died March 5, 1892, Sarah M., born at Nashua, Aug. 23, 1831, married Daniel T. Tower of Boston, Sept. 9, 1856, died March 25, 1858; Belknap S., born July 25, 1833, died Sept. 10, 1834; Susan E., born at Nashua, Jan. 18, 1836, married Charles F. Stetson of Duxbury, Mass., June 19, 1855, died Nov. 15, 1873.

HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. H.

JOSIAH G. GRAVES, M. D.

Josiah G. Graves, M. D., was born at Walpole, July 13, 18II, died July 6, 1888. His father was a well-to-do farmer and desired him to follow that vocation. His desire,

JOSIAH G. GRAVES, M. D.

however, was to fit himself for the medical profession, and so, contrary to the wishes of his father, he left his home at the age of eighteen years, and, as he often remarked in his later life, "with one dollar in his pocket, his mother's blessing on his head and a district school education," he started out to carve his own career. He entered the offices of Doctors Adams and Twitchell at Keene in 1829, and defrayed his expenses by teaching school and giving instructions in penmanship. Doctor Graves attended lec- tures at Pittsfield, Mass., and was graduated at Williams- town Medical college in 1834, after which he spent six months in the office of doctors Huntington and Graves at Lowell, Mass.

Doctor Graves commenced the practice of his profes- sion in Nashua, Sept. 15, 1834, and for more than forty years followed it with untiring assiduity. His biographer, B. B. Whittemore, says of him: "His success as a physician and surgeon has but few parallels. He loved his profession and gave it his best powers. He was gifted in a remarkable degree, with a keen insight into the nature of disease, and of course his success was in propor- tion to his fitness for his calling. He did not need to be told symptoms : he knew by intuition where the break in the constitution was, and how to rebuild and give new life. He was made for his profession, and not his profession for him, which is too often the case. After several years' practice Doctor Graves took the degree of his profession at Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia. During the War of the Rebellion he was, by appointment of the governor

and council, a member of the board of medical examiners.

After retiring from the active duties of his profession, Doctor Graves became interested in railroad enterprises in which he made heavy investments. He was a director in the Nashua & Lowell railroad company and one of the promoters of the Texas Trunk line, of which he was presi- dent. He was a director in the Faneuil Hall Insurance company of Boston, and also in the Metropolitan steam- ship company, and interested, pecuniarily and otherwise, in many enterprises at home and in different sections of the country. A few years before his death he purchased 'Mound Farm" at Scituate, Mass., where he erected a few dwelling houses, and spent his summers.

Doctor Graves is entitled to high rank among the self- made men of New Hampshire. What he was, and what he had came through his own unaided effort, and was the fruit of capacity, energy and industry. He filled a large place in Nashua, and was widely known as a man of in- flexible will, strong in his attachment to friends and uncompromising in all matters in which he believed he was right. He could say "yes" or "no" and then end the matter. He was a member of the Unitarian church and a liberal contributor to its support.

Doctor Graves married Mary Boardman, daughter of Colonel William Boardman, a distinguished citizen of Nashua. There were no children by their marriage.

EVAN B. HAMMOND, M. D.

Evan B. Hammond, M. D., was born at Bridgewater, Oct. 16, 1815, died at Nashua, June 7, 1887. He was a son of Nathan Hammond, born Sept. 16, 1781, and Mary (Noyes) Hammond, born July 29, 1785. His grandfather, Thomas Hammond, was born June II, 1747, and his grand- mother, Esther (Dole) Hammond, May 15, 1756. They were foremost among the pioneers of Grafton county, a hardy, frugal, industrious and honest race of people who "made the wilderness blossom as a rose," and who dying left behind them records for piety, probity and useful- ness that are a source of pride and a matter of emulation for their descendants. It is to such men and women as the ancestors of the Hammond family of Nashua, that New Hampshire owes her proud place in the union of states as the birthplace of those who have guided the world to civil and religious freedom, led armies, fought great battles, inspired equitable laws, developed science and adorned the professions.

Doctor Hammond was a self-made man, whose useful career emphasizes the possible attainment of those who possess courage and perseverance. He obtained all the knowledge possible in the district schools of his native place, and beyond that fought his way single-handed to graduation in the profession he had chosen for his life work. In his youth he had his every day task for a higher education, and finally studied medicine and sur- gery at New York, Boston, Dartmouth Medical college and Harvard Medical college, graduating at the latter in 1840 with the degree of M. D. He settled in Nashua im- mediately and steadily practiced his profession for more than forty years. Doctor Hammond, in his thorough knowledge of medicine and surgery, had practical and common-sense method as well as a skillful and collegiate basis. He could read human nature "like a book " and was therefore enabled to prescribe effectively in all forms of disease and to all classes of patients. That he had the

210

HISTORY OF NASHUA, N. II.

confidence of the people was recognized in a marked degree by the attorneys of the county, who sought him among the first as an expert witness in difficult cases, knowing that what Doctor Hammond said would be believed in preference to the testimony of college pro- fessors who had abundant theory and but limited practice. This was due, also, in a great measure, to the use of easy terms and a lucid explanation that was peculiarly his own method. He sought to make clear rather than to make a mystery. He had an extensive and successful practice from which he re- tired some years before his death, mainly because of advancing age and a fracture of the bones of his leg which made it difficult for him to travel any great distance. Yet such was his reputa- tion, that, for sev- eral years after his retirement, his services were in frequent demand ; especially among those families within whose cir- cles he had, for many years been the trusted physi- cian and faithful friend. He was an active member of the New Hamp- shire medical so- ciety. But Doctor Hammond was not alone a Nashua physician. He was an active man in the affairs of the town and later of the city. Good government, good schools, church privileges, pro- gress in every de- partment of hu- man endeavor, banking and a hundred and one things that were of concern to a citizen claimed his attention and found him a wise supporter. He held town offices from time to time and represented it in the legislature in 1847 and 1848. When Nashua became a city in 1853 he sat in her first common council, and in 1866 and 1867 served on the board of aldermen. He was city physician in 1862, 1866 and 1867, and for many years was a member of the board of education. During Gov -. ernor Berry's administration, in the exciting days of the Civil War, he was commissioned examining surgeon for exemption from draft for Hillsborough county, and

was later appointed United States examining surgeon in cases of applications for pensions, a position which he held fifteen years to the entire satisfaction of the government and the veterans. Besides these public duties he was one of the inceptors and promoters of the Second National bank, serving on the board of directors for many years. He was also treasurer of the Mechanics' Savings bank, and, so great was the confidence of the people in him, he invested, safely, large sums of money for friends and acquaintances. At the time of his death he was president of the York Beach & Harbor railroad and of the Crosby Invalid Bed com- pany. Doctor Hammond was united in marriage Dec. 23, 1841, with Sarah Ann Adams. Mrs. Hammond was born at Wal- tham, Mass., Dec. 12, 1816. She is a daughter of Phinehas Adams, born Sept. 4, 1789, and Sarah W. ( Barber) Adams, born May 28, 1790, a daughter of Hamblet Barber, born at Warring- ton, England. On the paternal side she is a descend- ant in the seventh generation from Henry Adams, who came to this country from Devonshire, Eng- land, in 1630. From Henry Ad- ams, fifteen gen- erations to Ap Ad- am of Wales, who "came out of the marshes of Wales, a frontier space " on which English troops were accus- tomed to march, to repress incur- sions and cut off stragglers in 1220. Mrs. Hammond's lin- eage is one complete record to Ap Adam. The children born to them are Mary L., born March, 1843; S. Anna, born Jan. 17, 1845, married Calvin W. Greenwood, Oct. 20, 1869; Catherine E., born March 12, 1847, married Charles E. Whitmarsh, Oct. 20, 1869 ; Elizabeth M., born Jan. 2, 1850, married James F. Whitmarsh, Sept. 29, 1885; Charles B., born March 20, 1853, married Mary L. Tracy, Oct. 16, 1883; Alice P., born Oct. 31, 1854, married Edward E. Parker, Dec. 20, 1877 ; Phinehas A., born June 2, 1856, married Lil- lian M. Bowman, May 1, 1884 ; George F., born June 8, 1858.
