From an early age, Mr. Tenney manifested an unusual fondness for books, and zealously applied himself to every means of obtaining knowledge. His evenings were de- voted to study, and the facilities for education offered by his native town improved to the utmost, and his college preparatory course completed at Westminster, Vt., under Prof. L. F. Ward. His close application to study per- manently injured his eyesight; and, with the cherished object of his ambition almost within his grasp, he was forced to forego his plans of college and a professional career.
For the next few years, he followed the vocation of teacher in various New England towns, holding succes- sively the post of principal in Mettowce Academy, Paw- let, Vt., Peterborough Academy, and the High School in Marl.
The people of Marl. showed their appreciation of his

abilities by conferring upon him various offices of trust and honor. These he filled with justice and prudence to the satisfaction of all.
Leaving his native town, he lived for some time a wan- derer's life, visiting the land of gold, the Pacific coast, and finally settled in East Jaffrey in 1862, as clerk of the cotton manufactory of A. Bascomb & Co. For nearly six years, much of the business devolved upon him; and he was held in the highest esteem by his employers.
Leaving Jaffrey in the spring of 1868, he opened a gen- eral store in Orange, Mass., under the firm name of H. C. Tenney & Co. In the rapid growth and development of the town, this was gradually changed to a jobbing and retailing hardware and paint and oil house.
He was one of the founders of the Orange Savings and Orange National Banks, and has always been and still is an officer of each.
Mr. Tenney is an able and thoughtful speaker. His voice is often heard in the business and literary circles of the town of his adoption. He possesses in a marked degree the faculty of concentration, or thinking upon his feet, ever ready to answer with crushing effect any and every attack upon him.
As a scholar, he is searching and thorough; as a teacher, practical and full of apt illustrations; as a merchant, prompt and energetic; as a man in all the various stations of life, he is ever the firm lover and champion of right.
DANIEL W. TENNEY, son of Calvin, m., Aug. 1, 1861, Jane A., dau. of William and Anliza (Whitcomb) Ten- ney, who d. Oct. 5, 1879.
Mr. Tenney commenced his business life as clerk in the store of G. D. Richardson & Co., serving an appren- ticeship of one year, after which he opened a store in Lowellville, in the firm of Tenney & Nason.
We next find him on the road, a wholesale peddler. Being moderately successful in trade, he next developed as a manufacturer of wooden ware in the firm of D. W. & W. M. Tenney.
In 1867, as the head of the Marlboro Manufacturing Company, he introduced in town the manufacture of woollen goods, opening up a new industry, and giving a fresh impetus to business. Gradually, the tub and pail business was swallowed up in this new enterprise, the spindle and loom supplanting the saw and lathe. The business was a success until the crash of 1877, when he was forced to retire. He successively held with fidel- ity the many offices of trust within the gift of the town, whose present thrift and prosperity are mainly due to his

until 1855, when he became a permanent resident of Marl. He was quite extensively engaged in the wood and lum- ber business, having bought several farms, and removed the wood and timber from them previous to his perma- nent settlement in Marl. In 1859, he purchased the Marl. "Hotel property" and the brick-mill now belonging to the Marl. Manufacturing Company, and, in connection with keeping the hotel, for six years carried on the pail manufacturing business. In 1867, he built the house on West Street which he now occupies, and rented the hotel buildings, and about this time sold the brick-mill. Since occupying his present residence, he has kept him- self busy in looking after his real estate interest. He found time, however, to invent and get patented, in 1877, a road-scraper, which is considered by the best judges in road-making and repairing to be an article of great prac- tical value, and the best thing out for that purpose.
Mr. Thatcher is one of the solid men of the town finan- cially, and spares no labor or expense in improving every- thing coming into his possession. The hotel buildings, while owned by him, were remodelled, and wonderfully improved and beautified, particularly by the removal of the barn to its present position, and the additions made to it. On his Newton farm, he has erected one of the finest barns in the county. Having no aspirations for office-holding, he has always declined the solicitations of his friends in that direction ; but for real, sound judg- ment in business matters, and particularly in the value of real estate, no person in town excels him. .
