HISTORY OF DUBLIN

wood was appointed in his place. Asa Heald was reappointed in 1853.

A stage with four horses began to run from Brattleborough to Nashua in 1828. The proprietors were George W. Center and I. Newton Cunningham of Peterborough. This stage passed, at first, each way every other day, and carried the mail. It was established afterwards each way every day. This arrangement, however, was not found profitable for the department, and was discontinued after two or three years. A stage, afterwards, ran, for many years, between Keene and Peterborough, via Dublin, carrying the mail each way every other day. Peterborough, six miles east from Dublin, had a mail from Boston every day. For many years, a stage passed, with a mail, from Peterborough through Harrisville to Mun- sonville in Nelson, every other day, returning the next day. Charles C. P. Harris was the first postmaster at Harrisville. A post-office in Pottersville was established in 1850. The route, at first, was from Marlborough to Harrisville. Later, the route was from Keene, through Marlborough, to Potters- ville and Harrisville. There has been, for many years, since the discontinuance of the stage line between Keene and Peter- borough, a stage, carrying passengers, mail, and express, run- ning between Dublin and Peterborough.

Since the completion of the Manchester & Keene R.R., in 1879, which is now a part of the Boston & Maine R.R. system, mails for Dublin have been brought on the cars to Harrisville, thence conveyed to Dublin by a stage company which has come to be known as the Dublin Stage Company. It was operated for many years by Francis Stratton and his sons of Harrisville. After the death of the elder Stratton, in 1905, the business passed into the hands of an incorporated company, known as the Dublin Stage Company. The first superinten- dent was George F. Knowlton of Harrisville. In 1914, Almon A. Baldwin, then of Harrisville, became the superintendent. The company handles a large business, carrying passengers, mails, express packages, and freight of all kinds, between any part of Dublin and the railroad station at Harrisville.

The Dublin postmasters have been Cyrus Chamberlain, appointed in 1813 or 1814; Dr. Asa Heald, appointed in 1835; Ebenezer Greenwood, 1849 to 1853; Dr. Asa Heald, reap- pointed in 1853; George W. Gleason, appointed in 1863, who held the office a quarter of a century, and was succeeded by Milton D. Mason, about 1888, who was succeeded four years

later by John G. Townsend, who was succeeded, about 1903, by John A. Gleason, who was succeeded, in 1914, by Henry D. Allison, the present incumbent of the office.

Charles C. P. Harris, appointed postmaster at Harrisville, about 1853 or 1854, held that office the rest of his life, till 1888. He was succeeded by Miss Isabel Hutchinson, who held the position till 1914, when she was succeeded by W. B. McClellan.

The postmasters at Pottersville have been Aaron Smith, from 1850; Osgood N. Russell, from about 1852; Rev. Lyman Culver, from 1853; Prentiss W. Greenwood, from 1855; J. Fitch, from 1856; Charles J. Smith, from 1864; Mrs. M. A. Atwood, from 1870; H. W. Smith, from 1874; Aaron Smith, from 1878; Mrs. S. M. Smith, from 1882 (the office designa- tion now changed to West Harrisville); George F. Bemis, from 1886, during whose term the designation of the office was changed to Chesham; Oren A. Sherwin, from 1897; and Caspar C. Bemis, who has held the office since 1901. Mr. C. C. Bemis has built a fine new dwelling near the Chesham station, in which the office is located.

In 1881, a post-office was established at East Harrisville, locally called Handyville, which was formerly in Dublin. H. J. Farwell was appointed postmaster and held the position until about 1897 or 1898, when Louis S. Farwell received the appointment, and he and his wife retained the office until about 1911, when the office was discontinued. A post-office was recently established called Monadnock, G. B. Leighton, postmaster.

TOWN-HALL

At the annual March meeting, in 1881, the town voted to build a new town-house. In accordance with this vote, the edifice was erected in 1881 and 1882. It cost $5263.76. The town appropriated $3600. Gifts were received from the fol- lowing individuals: -

The building was dedicated, December 28, 1882. The ad- dress was delivered by Rev. S. H. McCollester, D.D., of Marl- borough. The building committee consisted of Henry Dwight Learned, George W. Gleason, and Henry C. Piper.

The architectural design did not prove to be entirely satis- factory. At the annual town-meeting, March 14, 1916, it was voted to accept and adopt the following resolution: -

"Resolved, That the town permit the proposed change to be made on the front of the Town House, as proposed by Mr. J. L. Mauran, expense of the same to be borne by Mr. Mauran and others, the work to be done under the direction of, and subject to the ap- proval of, the board of Selectmen."

The proposed change concerns the spire of the building, the curved porch over the front door, and the addition of columns in front to correspond with those on the Unitarian church across the street. As these pages go to the press, it is expected that the work will soon be under way.

JOHN CROMBIE

THADDEUS MORSE Committee." June 5, 1820.

The foregoing statement was laid before the town at a legal meeting held the fifth day of June, 1820, at which time it was accepted by the town. At the same meeting, the town "voted that the interest of the above sums should be appropriated agreeably to the charter of said town."

According to a statement made in 1852 by Cyrus Piper, at that time one of the agents of the town for managing its funds, the fund for the support of schools was eleven thousand three

508

HISTORY OF DUBLIN

hundred twenty-eight dollars and ninety-six cents, the greater part of which was given to the town by Rev. E. Sprague.

Respecting the five thousand dollars bequeathed to the town by Mr. Sprague, the town voted, June 5, 1820, "That the First Congregational Society in the town of Dublin take the charge of, with power to control, the five thousand dollars bequeathed to said town by the late Rev. Edward Sprague, for the support of the ministry in said town, and to make use of and apply the interest of the same agreeably to the tenor of said Sprague's last will and testament."

At the same meeting, the following vote was passed: - "Voted that the interest of the money raised from the sales of ministerial and school lands shall be appropriated agree- ably to the charter of said town."

The interest of the ministerial land-fund was given at this time, and till the year 1842, to the First Congregational So- ciety, when it was divided among the three religious societies in town by a committee chosen for the purpose. The com- mittee were Thaddeus Morse, Augustine Wood, and Levi Willard, who were directed to divide said interest "among the several religious societies in town, according to their valua- tion in the assessment of public taxes."

With regard to the management of the property bequeathed to the town by Mr. Sprague, three agents, Dr. Moses Kidder, Thaddeus Morse, Esq., and Mr. David Townsend, were chosen, February 2, 1819, to take possession of the estate; and the town "voted to ratify, allow, and make firm in law, all the doings of said agents, done in their capacity in behalf of said town." Dr. Kidder removed to Ashby, Mass., in 1819, and the town refused to choose an agent in his place. In 1823, Richard Strong was chosen agent, instead of David Townsend. Thaddeus Morse was retained in the office of agent till 1842, a period of twenty-three years, when he re- signed. Richard Strong resigned in 1847, having served twen- ty-four years. Thomas Fisk was chosen in the place of Thad- deus Morse, and Cyrus Piper in place of Richard Strong. Thomas Fisk and Rufus Piper were the agents in 1852.

Dexter Mason, James Allison, Dexter Derby, Corydon Jones, Henry D. Learned, Milton D. Mason, Fred C. Gow- ing, and Henry N. Gowing have served as such agents.

By an Act of the legislature of 1915, all funds belonging to the town in trust were placed in the hands of three trustees, to be elected by the town, one for one year, one for two years,

John Ripley Marse.

SCHOOLS

one for three years and, thereafter, one each year for three years. Those chosen at the last annual town-meeting were Clifford Gowing, Milton D. Mason, and Henry N. Gowing.

Since the funding of Mr. Sprague's bequests, and of the school and ministerial land sales, these agents have had the management of all the funds which belong to the town. In 1843, the First Congregational Society appointed Thomas Fisk as agent, in connection with Richard Strong, to manage its funds. The funded property of Dublin was not originally invested in stocks, but loaned to individuals on what was deemed good security. It has been judiciously managed. Only small losses have been incurred.

SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLHOUSES

Respecting the education of the Scotch-Irish who first set- tled in Dublin, we have no definite information. As they were Protestants, and came from the north of Ireland, it may be presumed that they had the advantage of such schools or in- struction as that part of the country afforded. John Alexan- der, it has been said, was unable to read. Henry Strongman, who was the only one that remained till the town was incor- porated, was a prominent man in managing the municipal affairs; and his literary qualifications appear to have been suf- ficient for the purpose.

Those settlers that came from Sherborn and its vicinity received their education in such common schools as were then maintained in their respective towns. Some of them are re- ported to have said that their privilege of attending school was confined to a few short terms, but that these were well improved, and, not only so, but the hours of leisure at home were well improved also. Although no appropriation of money for schools was made by the town till the year 1773, yet it cannot be supposed that some means were not used for the instruction of children and youth, either at home by parents, or in neighborhoods by private teachers. The sum first granted, four pounds, "to keep a woman's school in three parts of the town," seems to us of the present day altogether inadequate for such an object. Four pounds, equal to thir- teen dollars and thirty-three cents, would give to each school only four dollars and forty-four cents. But, if the board of the teacher were paid by the town, or by the parents of the chil- dren, and a room provided and furnished without charge,

510

HISTORY OF DUBLIN

then the four dollars and forty-four cents would give ten weeks' schooling, provided the teachers received for wages only forty-four cents per week; and it is known that, even after this date, female teachers received no more. In what parts of the town, or by whom, the said three schools were kept is not known. For the three years succeeding 1773, six pounds, or twenty dollars, were granted for schools; but, in 1777, no money was raised for that object, and, if schools were kept, they were supported by private subscription. Owing to the pressure of the times, a project was entertained to sell the school lands; and a vote to that effect was passed, but the lands were not sold. No attempt was made to erect school- houses till 1778, when it was voted to build two schoolhouses, one in the east, and one in the west, part of the town. Com- mittees were chosen to build said schoolhouses; for the north- west part of the town, Moses Adams, Reuben Morse, and Eli Greenwood; and, for the east part, William Greenwood, Simeon Johnson, and Oliver Wright. There is no record show- ing that these houses were ever built.

In 1779, the vote of the town was "to raise one hundred pounds for a school the present year." This sum must have been reckoned in continental money, of which, at that time, it took five pounds and six shillings to make one dollar. The salary voted to Mr. Sprague in this year was £1060; which sum, at the above rate, would amount to $200, his stipulated salary. The sum raised for schools, therefore, was $19.80. In 1780, granting money for a school was left to the selectmen, "to assess what they think proper." In 1781, no money for a school was granted; but, in 1782, the town voted to raise eight pounds, or $26.67, and the selectmen were directed "to divide the town into five parts for schooling, and give each part their proportion of the school-money, and each part shall lay out their money within the year in such schooling as they think best."
