the first white female b. in Concord. She m. Ed. Hall, and his dau., Lydia, m. Nathaniel Cavis. Solomon Cavis came to Bris- tol in 1820, and served as clerk in the store of Ichabod C. Bart- lett three years. His compensation the first year was $30 and board ; the second year, $140. This was thought at that time to be great pay. In May, 1823, Mr. Cavis associated himself with Philip Webster, and they opened a general store, under the firm name of Webster & Cavis, where is now White's block, with a capital of $500. For board they paid $1.25 each per week. Mr. Cavis used to drive his own team to Boston for goods. Once, on his return, his horse ran away and scattered his goods along Boscawen street. He regained his horse and then gathered up his goods. Mr. Cavis spent his long life in the mercantile busi- ness and secured a competence. (See Mercantile Industries.) He was closely identified with the material prosperity of the town ; he was the first in town to discontinue the sale of spiritu- ous liquors, and he became an active worker in the temperance cause. He was above reproach in all the relations of life and honored in the community. He was through life a liberal sup- porter of the Congregational church, but did not become a mem- ber till 71 years of age. In politics he was a Democrat. He served three years as town clerk and seven years as town treas- urer; and was postmaster 1830 to 1841. He erected the resi- dence on Pleasant street now occupied by his daughter, Mrs. Abbott. He m., Oct. 16, 1828, Almira, dau. of Hon. James Minot, b. Nov. 23, 1804. (See.) He d. Feb. 2, 1884, ae. 83-2-10.

In 1875, he was elected treasurer of the Bristol Savings bank and, in 1884, he disposed of most of his mercantile interests to Horace T. Alexander, that he might devote his time to the duties of the bank. He served the bank as vice-president three years, and as treasurer from the date of his first election till his death - 16 years. He was considered a superior financier, and enjoyed the confidence of the community. He was a Mason and a Democrat, and served three years as town clerk. He
