diligence, fidelity, and unswerving integrity, Mr. Collins has won the confidence of those with whom he has had intercourse and dealings. The esteem of his fellow-citi- zens has been manifested in their selection of him to fill the various offices of honor and trust in the town, as clerk, selectman, member and chairman of the school- commitee. He also represented the town in the Legislat- ure two years. He has held the office of Justice of the Peace since 1856. His services in writing wills and other legal documents, and settling estates, are fre- quently called into requisition, and he has probably done more Probate business than any other man in town. Possessed of excellent judgment, he has never engaged in hazardous speculations, but confined himself to the legitimate operations of his vocation. By personal appli- cation to business, perseverance, and economy, he has acquired for the evening of life a competent estate.

He settled on the farm now owned by Rev. S. H. McCollester.

NELSON CONVERSE, son of John, m., Sept. 10, 1829, Sally M., dau. of William and Sally (Merriam) Jones. She d. Nov. 9, 1872, and he m. (2d), Jan. 16, 1873, Mrs. Fannie M. Everett. His mother dying when he was but four years of age, he was placed in the family of his sister, Mrs. Charles Holman, where he remained until grown to manhood. Soon after his mar- riage, which occurred at the early age of nineteen, he moved to the town of Newport in the northern part of Vermont, and located on a farm. After residing there two years, he returned to Marl., and engaged in the mill- business in company with his brother Gilman. Losing their mill by fire, soon after commencing business, the Colonel then turned his attention to boot-making for a short time; but, finding that the business returned but a moderate income for the labor performed, he soon gave it up, and became interested in the manufacture and sale of trusses and supporters, which business he continued until the completion of the Cheshire Railroad, when he was appointed station agent at the Marl. station. Sub- sequently he was transferred to the station at Bellows Falls. After an experience there sufficient to satisfy him that it was not a desirable position for him to occupy, he resigned it, and returned to Marl., and purchased the residence in the village, which he now occupies. He then engaged in the stone-quarrying business, which he con- tinued on his own account, and as agent for others, for many years; in the mean time purchasing and improving considerable real estate.
Being a person of an active and sanguine tempera- ment in his early life, he naturally took the lead in all enterprises of a public character. His military career commenced at the age of sixteen. In 1838, through his instrumentality probably more than that of any other individual, the Marl. Cadet Company was organized, uniformed, and equipped. He soon became its com- mander, and from thence rose to the command of the 12th Regiment of the N.H. Militia. Re-entering the ranks again, he attained the position of Major-General of the 3d Division of the N.H. State Militia.
Soon after the breaking out of the Rebellion in the spring of 1861, he commenced a weekly military drill of all citizens of the town who chose to assemble for that purpose, thus preparing them for the duties of actual

service, in case they were called for. In the autumn of that year, he was appointed Colonel of the 6th Regiment of N.H. Volunteers. The regiment was organized at Keene, and left there in December for Washington, and from there was sent to Cape Hatteras. In consequence of severe and chronic indisposition, he was obliged to relinquish the active duties of the field; and, instead of asking for a furlough and continuing under pay from the government, he adopted the less selfish course, and resigned his commission at once.
In civil public office, the Colonel has officiated as moderator in town meetings for many years, has held the office of selectman for three years, declining to serve again when afterwards elected, represented the town in the Legislature two years, was County Commissioner for three years, and one of the building committee for erect- ing the present court house at Keene. He has also held the office of Deputy Sheriff for six years, and was twice 'unanimously nominated by the county delegation for the office of Sheriff of the County, but declined accept- ing it, and has held a Justice of the Peace commis- sion for over twenty years. In all these positions his record has been an honorable one to himself, and credit- able to the town.
As a citizen and neighbor, his sympathies are always active for those in trouble, and, consequently, his counsel and advice are oftener solicited, perhaps, than those of any other individual in town.

1 REV. JOSEPH CUMMINGS was b. in Topsfield, Mass., Jan. 7, 1746. But little is known of his history, except that he graduated at Harvard University in 1768, after which he taught school for a short time, and studied divinity in his native town. He came to Marl. in 1778, preached for a short time as a candidate, and finally ac- cepted a call to become the first settled pastor of the Congregational Church (see Ecclesiastical History). At the close of his labors here, he returned to Topsfield, and soon after went to Ohio as land agent for a com- pany in Mass. While on his way home, he was taken suddenly ill, returned to Marl. to the house of his brother Amos, where he d. Sept. 24, 1788. He was bur- ied in the cemetery near the old meeting-house, a few feet from the wall, at the right of the gate. A white marble stone was erected to mark the spot; but this mysteriously disappeared a few years since. His wife was Anna Gove.
