About 1885, Dr. Horace P. Farnham, a skilful and successful New York physician, purchased a part of the old town com- mon and erected an attractive mansion almost exactly upon the spot formerly occupied by the second meetinghouse of the First Congregational (now Unitarian) Society. His widow, whose benefactions will be gratefully remembered, still oc- cupies this house each summer. She built the fine stone library in the village, in memory of her husband, of which a descrip- tion has been given in another chapter. James Harding Froth- ingham of Boston built an elegant cottage nearly upon the site of the former Town House upon another part of the com-
611
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT
mon. He also purchased and remodelled the old Sprague mansion, later known as the Waite house. Mr. Frothingham was very fond of Dublin, and his mortal remains rest in the village cemetery.
The elaborate residence, built several years ago, by E. H. Hamilton, a native of the town, being thought to be favorably situated for a summer hotel, was recently purchased by Fred- erick S. Willcox of Aiken, S. C., and fitted for such a purpose. The appointments were of the best and the prices made to cor- respond. Persons prepared to pay such prices now rarely come to Dublin, except as cottagers. Mr. Willcox did not use the house for an inn more than two or three seasons. He has oc- cupied it two summers as a private residence for his own family.
Many eminent men and statesmen have been attracted to Dublin because of its elegant scenery and the high character of both the resident inhabitants and the summer visitors. Among those who have passed their summers here may be named the Right Hon. (now Viscount) James Bryce, a former British Ambassador to the United States, who was here several seasons; Count Speck von Sternberg, a former German Ambas- sador to this country; the Hon. Henry White, a former Ambas- sador of the United States to Italy, and also to France; the Hon. Franklin MacVeagh, a former Secretary of the Treasury; the Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, a former Secretary of the Interior; Senator A. J. Beveridge of Indiana; Rear Admiral J. G. Walker; Lieut. Commander Simms; and Lieut. Commander J. M. Reeves. Brief visits have been made by many persons of distinction, including, among others, President William H. Taft, who was here twice during his term of office.
Among authors, men of letters, and college professors who have spent summers in Dublin, nearly all of them owning their own cottages, have been the following: Col. Thomas Went- worth Higginson, who was fondly attached to the place and was helpful in civic improvements and the interests of the old church, whose cottage was recently purchased by Prof. Kenneth Brown; Prof. Raphael Pumpelly, whose geological researches in this country and Asia have made him widely known, whose cottage, on the north-eastern spur of the Monadnock foothills, overlooking the lake, is one of the highest in town; Prof. Al- bert Bushnell Hart, editor of that series of volumes known as "The American Nation: a History," and of many other valu- able historical works; Prof. Richard Burton, well known through his poems and essays; Prof. John Osborne Sumner;
612
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
Basil King; Moorefield Storey, author of a life of Charles Sum- ner; Prof. Charles E. Dana; Winston Churchill; Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells; Samuel L. Clemens, more familiarly known by his pseudonym, Mark Twain, who rented a cottage here for two seasons; and Prof. Henry W. Rolfe of Leland Stanford University.
Besides the artists already mentioned, Dublin has attracted Joseph Lindon Smith, whose cottage on the lake shore is beau- tiful for situation, and whose Italian garden and theatre are not only attractive in appearance, but have furnished much enjoyment to many who have been entertained therein; also Edmund C. Tarbell, Frank W. Benson, Birge Harrison, Miss Rose Lamb, Stanley Mortimer, John H. Prentice, and others who have remained for brief intervals of time only. Among clergymen who have built or rented cottages have been Rev. Reuben Kidner, Rev. George F. Weld, and Rev. L. H. Thayer. The latter was from Portsmouth, and his cottage was within the limits of Harrisville. Rev. Robert Collyer of Chicago (later of New York) was in town for portions of several sea- sons, and his voice was frequently heard in the Unitarian church. We have already mentioned Rev. Theodore Parker. Rev. Samuel Hobart Winkley, an honored preacher of the Unitarian faith for more than half a century in Boston, passed many summers in Dublin, and died here in 1911. Rev. William R. Alger, another noted Unitarian divine, who succeeded Theo- dore Parker as a preacher in the Boston Music Hall, was an occasional summer visitor here, as was also Rev. William C. Winslow. Rev. John C. Learned of St. Louis, a native of Dub- lin, never forgot the town of his birth and honored it with frequent visits. The same was true, in former years, of the brothers Rev. George F. and Rev. Samuel F. Clark. Rev. Henry Meyer, an Episcopalian clergyman of Philadelphia, was here in the seventies and, as we have seen, conducted the first services in Dublin according to the ritual of that church. The Rev. Dr. Goodwin of the Episcopal Theological School in Philadelphia was here in the summers of 1879 and 1880, and preached on Sundays in the Unitarian meeting house. Other preachers of that faith have made shorter visits, and the Bishop of New Hampshire makes a yearly visit to the town, which is always an occasion of much interest.
Dr. Joel E. Goldthwait, a Boston physician, had a cottage upon the height of land between Dublin and Harrisville, with a broad view of the surrounding country, north, west, and south.
613
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT
Dr. E. Lindon Mellus of Baltimore owns a cottage on the south-eastern slope of Beech Mountain. Dr. Edmund Chan- ning Stowell lived many summers on the south side of the lake and is now living on the old Shaker farm, in the north-west corner of Jaffrey. The latter's wife, Mrs. Sarah R. Stowell, is likewise a physician. Dr. Hamilton Osgood, whom we have already mentioned, was, for many seasons, a welcome and helpful summer resident, as was also Dr. H. K. Faulkner of Keene. Another valued summer resident, whose professional services have been of great benefit to the town, is Mr. John Lawrence Mauran, an architect from St. Louis, who furnished plans for the public library, for the new schoolhouse in process of erection in the village, and for the alterations to be made upon the front of the Town Hall, that its architecture may be in harmony with that of the ancient church across the street.
Other esteemed cottagers in the town have been Henry Copley Greene, Ernest F. Henderson, William Amory (whose widow has made valuable improvements upon the estate), Mrs. Fannie D. Clark (whose summer home, long the residence of the late Thaddeus Morse, had been occupied many seasons by her father, the late Daniel A. Dwight), Misses Ida and Ellen Mason, Miss L. S. Brewer, Mrs. George B. Upton, Miss Amy Lowell (a sister of President Lowell of Harvard Univer- sity), Mrs. Edward Frothingham, Miss Susan Upham, and others who have come from Boston; also A. J. Parsons, recently deceased, of Washington, D. C .; Francis M. Jencks of Balti- more; Daniel Catlin, Daniel K. Catlin, Mrs. J. G. Chapman, Mrs. Mary MacKittrick, George D. Markham, Thomas H. MacKittrick, Miss Mary Lionberger, and others, from St. - Louis; Charles MacVeagh, Miss Rebecca A. Caldwell, Mrs. H. P. Farnham, Mrs. L. B. Monroe, and others, from New York; Mrs. Marshall Field of Chicago; and John J. Allbright of Buffalo. Among those who have been here in more recent years are Arthur Lyman, Robert Treat Paine, Mrs. Josiah Bradlee, and Sumner B. Pearmain, of Boston; also Miss Al- berta M. Houghton, whose estate includes the former Darra- cott farm, Mrs. Otto F. Mertsch, Miss Georgiana Musgrave, Miss Martha Silsbee, Miss Alice H. Upton, Mrs. Charles F. Aldrich, and Mrs. Caroline Williams.
That section of Dublin on the east of the dividing ridge, which slopes to the east, still belongs quite largely to what may be called the native stock of the town. The western slope has drawn the greater number of city purchasers. The eastern
614
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
slope, however, is not without its attractions. From the higher elevations in this section may be obtained a magnificent view of the whole range of the Pack Monadnock Mountains, from the Hurd and Holt Hills in Nelson, along the peaks and ridges of the Thumb, Skatutahkee, Hale, Pack Monadnock, Temple, Barrett, and Kidder Mountains, to Watatick in the south. These mountains never look finer than in the winter, when there is more or less snow upon them. The bare rocks and ledges present a bluish appearance, which, contrasted with the white snow, upon a clear day, produces a charming effect. Many visitors now come to town in the winter to enjoy these beautiful views, to coast down the hills, and to take tramps upon snow-shoes and slide on skees.
The scenic beauties of this section have not escaped the eyes of those who were searching for attractive building sites. Several of the cottages already mentioned are upon this side of the town, including those of Mr. Jencks (near the summit of Beech Mountain), Dr. Mellus, Miss Brewer, Professor Bur- ton, Hon. Franklin MacVeagh, Prof. A. B. Hart, William B. Cabot, Rev. Reuben Kidner, and others which are situated along the summit of the dividing ridge, from which a view may be had in either direction. Other summer residents on the eastern slope are Mrs. A. J. Parsons, Miss Adele G. Thayer, Louis Cabot (whose estate includes several of the old farms in Dublin), Miss Minnie Preble (upon the Edith Page estate), and Prof. Jeffrey R. Brackett of Simmons College, whose land is largely in Peterborough, and from whose cottage one has a view that could not be finer.
Although the coming of the city people has brought a new life, with many new forms of pleasure and amusement, and has wrought many transformations in the general appearance of the town, the delightful simplicity, the patient industry, the kindly feeling, the generous hospitality, the high character, and quiet dignity of those of the old stock who still remain are as noticeable as ever in the past. Formerly the city visitors and the town people mingled, in social functions, much more freely than is the case to-day. At present, the functions of the summer colony are principally confined to those who con- stitute that class. The same is true of the native citizens. Their different interests render it impractical that it should be otherwise. At tlc same time, there is the most perfect har- mony and good feeling between all classes in the community. Their mutual relations are characterized by the utmost cour-
615
DUBLIN AS A SUMMER RESORT
tesy, frankness, and confidence. The advent of the city people has led to many improvements that would never have come without them. Improved highways, good public buildings, cer- tain adornments of the village, and a general activity and ap- pearance of animation throughout the town are traceable to this source. The churches, the stores, and the philanthropic interests of the town are greatly helped by them. The old farms have very generally disappeared. In the place of the ancient farmhouse has arisen the fine mansion of the cottager. In the place of the open field, the trees and shrubs have sprung up. The change from the old Dublin to the new is most noticeable in the winter, when few of the visitors are here, when many of the highways are disused, and a feeling of loneliness comes over the town.
Little or nothing has been done in a public way to advertise the beauties of Dublin, because a general rush of any who might come has not been desired. The greatest care has been used to prevent the desirable locations from falling into the hands of speculators, or of persons whose presence would mar the high character of the standard which has been set by those who have already established summer homes in this municipality. In this respect, Dublin ranks with Lenox, Newport, Petersham, Walpole, Cornish, and other towns in which the greatest pains have been taken to ward off all evil and undesirable influences, and to welcome only that which tends to promote the refine- ment, morality, and best interests of the town.
The Dublin Lake Club, organized a few years ago, is a centre for the social activities of the summer residents. Besides pro- - viding open air amusements and recreations, it has a good pa- vilion on the club grounds, at the east end of the lake, in which there are frequent entertainments of a literary and cultural character. Authors, statesmen, philanthropists, and workers in the various fields of human betterment have addressed the members of the club and their guests, who assemble in that building upon every Saturday afternoon during the season. Besides addresses upon historical and literary subjects, and musical entertainments, many speakers have ably discussed present-day topics in which all persons are interested. These Saturday afternoon entertainments have been marked features in the life of those who compose the club membership, to such an extent that other engagements are rarely made for that afternoon. The club has not only made life in Dublin attrac-
616
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
tive throughout the season, but its functions have been instruc- tive and edifying as well as enjoyable.
The Golf Club, whose club house stands at the head of the Troy road, on the site of the house built by the first permanent English settler of the township, is another centre of attraction for the city people who sojourn here for a time. The grounds are well provided with ample facilities for the enjoyment of the recreation for which they were designed.
It is already more than a half-century since the city people began to pass the summer months in Dublin in considerable numbers. There have been many who came for a long term of years. Of these a large number have already entered the life beyond. Upon nearly every estate which borders upon the lake the head of the household has been removed by death w.thin the last few years. The same is true with respect to several who were accustomed to pass the summer in other parts of the town. Many of those who were most prominent and most highly esteemed among that class of people have joined the great majority. These sad occurrences are producing constant changes in the personnel of the cottagers; but the high standard is still maintained, and we may well believe that, for many years to come, perhaps for all time, Dublin will be re- garded as one of the most desirable and most delightful sum- mer resorts in America.
CHAPTER XVIII
OCCUPANTS OF LOTS
THE first person named in the following list of occupants and owners of lots, or parts of lots, in Dublin is supposed to have been the first settler of the lot (or particular part of the lot) under consideration. The other names (in each group) are arranged, as nearly as could be ascertained, in the order of their succession. In this respect there are doubtless many errors, especially with regard to residents upon a particular house-lot, who were tenants and not owners. The names of present occupants, or owners, are in italics. Many of the lots have been divided and subdivided, and, of course, many farms contain land extending into different lots. On many lots there have been several settlements. When a dash (-) is placed before a name, it is meant to indicate the first settler on another part of the lot; but accuracy in this respect was not attainable; and, where there have been many houses erected on the same lot, we found the difficulty greatly in- creased. Our arrangement, therefore, cannot, in all cases, be expected to be infallible. The records are very confusing and there are contradictory statements among older residents on the subject, which it has not been possible to reconcile. Res. is annexed to the names of those who were residents (tenants), not owners. Owner annexed to a name indicates that the person never resided on the lot, but was the owner of it, either formerly or at present. The numbering of house sites in each lot is the same as on Wadsworth's map of Dublin. His numerical order is not always followed exactly in these lists.
