BETHUEL,1 of Scottish origin, resided in Nelson, and became cel- ebrated as a manufacturer of woollen goods.
ALMON2 (Bethuel1), b. 29 Aug., 1800 ; lived with his father until 1821; went to Watertown, Mass., and worked at the business carried on by his father five years, returning to Nelson, and m. Phebe, dau. of Ezra Sheldon, 26 June, 1826; moved to Marlow, and erected mills for sawing lumber, grinding grain, carding wool, and dressing cloth. In 1832 he moved on to a farm in Winchester. Evidently he was not satisfied with an agricultural life, for in three years he returned to Nel- son and carried on the manufacture of woollen goods until 1847. The good facilities for transportation, and the excellent water-power on the Contoocook, with other natural advantages, induced him to remove there, and establish his business on a larger and more permanent basis. He purchased of Messrs. Gage the water-power and mill-site which had long been occu- pied by their ancestors, and erected thereon the Dus- ton Island Woollen Mills, which he and his sons suc- cessfully operated until his death, 15 Sept., 1876. He was regarded by his townsmen as a substantial busi- ness man, and was frequently called to fill the office of selectman. He was chosen to represent the town in the legislatures of 1864 and 1865, was a member of the Congregational church forty-four years, deacon and superintendent of the Sabbath-school, in the towns where he resided, many years.
