HISTORY OF THE
CONCLUSION.
In drawing this work to a close we are fully aware that the subject matter which might profitably be in- cluded in a work of this kind is far from being ex- hausted. Much has been omitted which may have been of interest to somebody somewhere, and some items may have been included which may be of no particular interest to anybody ; but the prime object in the beginning we believe has been substantially carried out as fully and as accurately as the means at command would admit. The historical part has been arranged in topics relating to the more important events that have transpired, and reference has been made to the recorded action of the town solely almost for the elucidation and confirmation of the subject under consideration. The introduction of some leg- ends and stories of the olden time, together with a few illustrations of a humorous character, may perhaps be considered a new departure from the ordinary course in such works, but the object in this has been to re- lieve the reader from the tiresomeness incident to the perusal of dry statistics, and also to revive in the mind of the reader the fact that the doings and sayings here in the olden time were not altogether of a sombre hue. In the genealogical part it has been our purpose to locate and make brief mention of all the first settlers, so far as we could with the means at hand. For the sake of brevity it has been the intention not to follow families after their removal from town in any full or complete record, as might be desired, but when both parents were of the town, we have ofttimes, by special
57I

request, continued the notice beyond the limits in- tended. The few poetical squibs interspersed here and there are such, it is believed, as will give no of- fence to the living, and do no injustice to the dead.
The biographical sketches were intended to be con- fined to such persons as seemingly would bear an enlargement of the narrative embraced in their several family connections and not to include residents of the town at the present time, whose obituary notices may be more properly written hereafter.
It is believed that the Table of Longevity will be found convenient, showing at a glance some of those that attained three-score years and ten. The list, un- doubtedly, might be much extended by additional research, which time and space now will not permit.
The Table of the First Settlers and some of their Successors, located by lot and range, is a feature of the work which it is hoped will be found useful, not only to those who now own and occupy the land, but to all others who may come after them.
Now to the Richmondite, wherever he may be, with this volume we send greeting, believing that, in a measure, he inherits the traditional hopefulness and courage of the fathers, and is disposed to take, on the whole, a cheerful view of life, and believes, in fact, this to be a very good world, and ever blesses his stars that he was born in old Richmond.

A few supplementary items, unintentionally omitted in the arti- cles pertaining to School-houses and School-Districts, to Mills, and to Biographical Sketches, which may add some interest to the work, are herein inserted.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
District No. 9.
The first school-house in this district was located near the forks of the Benson and Bowen road, with the " Mill Road " (so called). This was moved to a lot on the north side of the road leading to the Crane place, and there served the purposes of the district until 1877, when the present house of commodious dimensions and modern improvements was erected on a lot a little south of the dwelling of Amos E. Cummings. The house cost $800, and was paid for by the following tax-payers, some of whom were formerly owners or residents in District No. 12, which was annexed to this, about this time, viz. :-
Abbot & Martin, Ozial Ballou, Willie J. Ballou, Abner S. Barden, Benjamin Bowen, Geo. M. Bowen, Nathan Bowen, Zimri Bowen, Edwin Bolles, Jesse Bolles, Esther Chase, Charles T. Fisher, Ken- dall Fisher, Nathaniel B. Fisher, Andrew J. Frazier, Burton W. Goodnough, Daniel W. Hubbard, Horace Merrifield, Martin T. Nash, Noah Perry, Joseph Swan, Jacob Boyce, Abigail W. Gage, James Harkness, Geo. F. Lane & Son, Thomas A. Randall, Wm. W. Strickland, Willard White.
574
APPENDIX.
District No. 11.
The district formerly known as No. 11 embraced the territory from Silas Jillson's to Daniel Cass', and never had, so far as is now known, any school-house within its limits. Schools herein were kept formerly at the Verney Gaskill house, at Col. Jillson's, and sometimes at other places. This district was annexed to District No. 13 a short time before the new school-house was built in that district.
District No. 12.
The district in which Reuben Randall and Nath. Boorn formerly lived was known as No. 12. Schools here were kept in dwelling- houses until about 1830, when a small house was built on the east side of the road north of Boorn's. This was used until about the time when the new house was built in No. 9, when it was annexed to the same.
District No. 13.
This district formerly extended from the Woodward place, on the north, to the Wilderness Martin place, on the south, taking in the George Handy farm ; about 1850 it was enlarged by the annexation of Districts Nos. II and 15 to the same. The old school-house stood near the corner north of the Stephen Boorn house, and was used until the present house was built, in 1853. The new house, situated on the north side of the main road, a few rods west of the old one, was considered a model of construction at the time it was built; it cost $706.32, as appears by the records. The tax-payers of the new house were as follows, viz. :-

APPENDIX.
District No. 15.
That part of the town known formerly as the " Boyce Neighbor- hood " constituted District No. 15. About 1845, Robert Boyce and others built a small school-house south of his house, which was used a short time, but was soon given up, and the district was annexed to No. 13.
District No. 16.
This is the middle-of-the-town district, and was disannexed from District No. 6 in 1846. The territory embraced in the same is quite limited, extending only from the Bill Buffum place to the Nath. Taft farm. The school-house was built near the Universalist Church, about 1847.
MILLS.
The saw-mill formerly known as Thayer's Mills, near the Win- chester line, and now owned by Amos W. Lawrence, was built by Uriah Thayer, about 1830.
The Scott Mills, formerly in this town, but now within the terri- torial limits of Winchester, were operated some years ago by Alvan Scott, who probably was not the original builder of the same.
BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL.
Hosea B. Aldrich lived, while in town, on his father's place. He removed to Fitchburg about 1868, and after remaining there a few years removed to East Jaffrey, where he still resides. He served on the Board of Selectmen several times, and was twice chosen a representative to the General Court. He is by trade a carpenter.
Denzel S. Rice m. Belle Dawson, of Wright Co., Iowa, and by her had Henry, Myrte, and Amie. He was a carpenter, and also a photographer. He resided a few years in Iowa, but returned and settled in East Jaffrey, where he died, June 8, 1882. The family returned to Iowa.
D. Richardson Randall, son of Joseph, was born in town, but re- moved to McDonough, N. Y., with his father's family, when about five years of age; became a distinguished lawyer in Wilkesbarre, Pa., where he practised for some years, and was finally elected Judge of one of the District Courts of Pennsylvania. He died a few years ago, in the prime of his manhood and usefulness, much lamented,
576
APPENDIX.
Buffum Allen, son of Moses, jr., was a lover of learning. He early became a teacher, and removed to Lynn, Mass., where he died comparatively young.
William Bassett (not the author of this work, but the son of Artemas Bassett) was, probably, one of the best natural scholars the town has produced. Possessed of a remarkably retentive mem- ory, he was able to commit whole chapters of the Bible by once reading. He became celebrated as a teacher, and was also a recom- mended ininister among " Friends," to which society he belonged. He died at Glens Falls, N. Y., when about thirty years of age.
Jonathan Garnsey, son of William Garnsey, sr., born 1790, was a successful teacher in town about 1810. He studied medicine, and became a practising physician in St. Louis, where he died about 1836. His brother Sylvanus was also a physician, and settled in the State of New York.
Samuel Atherton -Jonathan - Jonathan - removed to Winches- ter with his father's family. He m. a Miss Greenwood, by whom he had a dr., who d. in early womanhood. He was interested in mili- tary matters and was captain of the Richmond Grenadiers, and after . his removal was colonel of the Sixth N. H. Reg. He practised auctioneering for some years, for which profession he had a natural adaptation. He died quite suddenly a few years ago.
Henry B. Swan, who removed to Winchester about forty years ago, has been one of the more enterprising business men of the town of his adoption ; has been largely engaged in the manufacture of palm leaf, and in making palm-leaf hats; he has undoubtedly acquired a competency in the business.
Charles A. Crooker, early in life, had a predilection for the sea, and soon after his majority engaged in the whaling business, from New Bedford. He arose through the various grades of the service until he was promoted to the position of captain of a ship. In the latter capacity he was unfortunate, in that the ship was lost- wrecked, it is reported, on his first voyage as commander. After this, when the civil war commenced, he was in the government service as sailing master in the navy. Has been m., and was, at last accounts, residing in New Bedford.
Silas B. Boyce, son of Thomas, was engaged in land surveying here for a while after his marriage. The superior mathematical qualifications he possessed, which may have been largely inherited
577
APPENDIX.
from his maternal grandfather, Silas Ballou, must have made the profession of civil engineering congenial, of easy acquirement, and of efficiency in practice. He was for several years engaged in some business in Oswego, N. Y., where he has now two daughters living. He removed a few years since to Grand Rapids, Mich., where he now resides ; his wife d. some years ago.
William Buffum, more generally known as Bill Buffum, was quite well known to the citizens of sixty years ago. In natural abilities he was undoubtedly not inferior to either of his brothers, and, but for an unfortunate casualty, would undoubtedly have been one of the more useful and prominent citizens of the town. The mishap which caused his insanity, as related by his daughter Sarah, is, that one evening, after closing the store of which he had charge, in the middle of the town, he repaired with some others to the tavern, kept by Lemuel Peters, and spent an hour or two in conviviality with certain boon companions ; and that, in leaving the house in company with an irate and pugnacious individual, he re- ceived a blow which prostrated him on the stone door-steps. So violent was the collision that his skull was fractured by the fall on a corner of one of the stones, and that partial insanity was induced thereby. This condition attended him during the remainder of his life. His insanity at times assumed various manifestations ; now he was a military hero, rigged out with cap and feathers, and other trappings, which would have eclipsed the costume of King Bomba, or cast into the shade the paraphernalia of Holofernes; and then again he would assume the role of hotel or saloon keeper, and as such he erected, near the corner of the Sprague road with the Turnpike, two shanties -one a dug-out; these were quite well supplied with beverages such as were in demand by the travelling public. Lastly, he appeared to be a hermit, and as such retired to a cave on the north side of the Buffum hill; here he became more reticent, rarely making any conversation, whereas, when he was a military man, or a saloon keeper, he was exceedingly loqua- cious, and his remarks were so well spiced with witticisms and jokes that his presence always afforded material for merriment with the young, and melancholy pleasure for the aged.
James Lovett, probably from Shutesbury, Mass., resided in a house which was on or near the present residence of Danford W. Martin, in Guinea (so called). Was a maker of the old-fashioned dining chairs. Had five children, viz .: John, Milton, Maria, Emeline, m. - Hunt; and Emily, m. Nathan Bliss of Royalston. He d. about 1835.
578
APPENDIX.
Nelson Rawson, an illegitimate son of Anne Whipple, lived with Enoch Whipple, who m. his mother. He died, without en- tailing any particular loss on the community, about 1838.
John M. Sawyer, probably from Boylston, Mass., or vicinity, bought the mills in N. Richmond about 1832. He lived in the house now owned by Silas O. Martin, until about 1846, when he removed to Winchester. Had several children. He died a few years ago.
