completed the means of access to the Notch by the construction of the Narrow Gauge Profile House railroad from Bethlehem."
His success in life was largely due to the fact that he was a man of the most unswerving probity of character. He commanded the respect and confidence of all men.
His wife was in every way especially fitted for the work and posi- tion of a landlady, and her husband admitted that she had done more than her share to establish his reputation as a hotel keeper. She was always ready and able to meet any emergency of his calling. Their guests found her ever mindful of their personal wants and comforts. She gave her attention to details, as well as to the more important matters, and to this thoroughness is due, in a great degree, the success which they both attained. She continues to retain the ownership of the business in which her husband was so long identi- fied, but is unable to take so active a part in the management of it as formerly. She never neglected the ties of domestic life, and has filled completely her duties as wife and mother. She bears cheer- fully her own burdens, and was always ready to share those of her husband, who was during all their married life in delicate health. She is endeared to family and friends, and universally admired for her remarkable energy, vivacity, and kindness. Her warm and gen- erous heart responds always to every good work, and her charities are unostentatious, but ever constant, unrestrained. In early life she became a member of the Olive-street Congregational church, Nashua .*

Woodstock, Vt., Boston, Mass., and Pittsfield, Mass., where, at that time, there was a popular medical school, and where he was gradu- ated as a physician. Returning to H. he spent a short time with Doctor Wood, and in 1843 rem. to Springfield, Vt., where he was engaged in business until 1846, when he " began an independent practice, to which he devoted himself with a degree of diligence, assiduity, enthusiasm, and success surpassed by very few." He was not alone a successful and greatly beloved and trusted physician ; he was deeply interested in every thing that appertained to the welfare 'of the community in which he lived. He gave money, influence, and professional lectures to establish an academy in Springfield. He was also active in his efforts to beautify the church where he was accustomed to worship, in the erection of new buildings, and "down to the minutest improvements he took a generous interest, as if all were one family. He was a great admirer of beauty, both in nature and art; not less, certainly, was music a joy to his soul. He was the tenderest and most devoted of hus- bands, the very fondest of fathers, and the light and joy of his home." .In early life he became deeply interested in religion, and ever after continued to be very active in the church. He united with the Bowdoin-street Congregational church in Boston, and re- moved his relations to the church in H., and from thence to the Congregational church in Springfield, May 10, 1849. He was super- intendent of the Sunday school in H., and as I look back over the years and remember his earnestness and enthusiasm, I think I can understand why it was that he was able to win the hearts of the people of Springfield. He was superintendent of the Sunday school in Springfield several years, and also leader of the church choir.

He received his early education at the public schools in Nashua, but by the removal of his parents to H. he was obliged to leave the High school at the close of his first year ; but having an ardent desire for a liberal education, although thrown upon his own resources, he continued his studies and was gradu- ated at the academy in Francestown in May, 1883, and having suc- cessfully passed the entrance examination to Amherst college, he accepted the position he occupied at the time of his death. He had previously spent several summers in a similar position at the Profile house, Franconia Notch, and had also taught school seven terms in New Boston, Antrim, and Francestown. In the various positions he had occupied he had endeared himself to many friends, and his sudden death was deeply mourned by them. "Four days later the sea gave up its dead. The remains were brought to H. for inter- ment Aug. Ist. The church in H. was filled with sympathizing friends, who came to pay the last, sad tribute to the departed. Numerous floral offerings were the silent yet fading expressions of an unfading affection. Tender and appropriate words were spoken by Rev. Frederick Alford, of Nashua; Rev. William R. Cochrane, of Antrim; Rev. H. Gulick, of H., and Prof. H. S. Cowell, of Francestown. Then tenderly and reverently the trusted friends of his youth, the associates and classmates of his school life, laid him away to his final rest, and thus closed a life of which it is no exaggeration to say that it was one of rare excellence, and one which gave unusual promise of great usefulness."

30. Dea. Henry5, b. Jan. 11, 1826; was educated at the com- mon schools in HI. and at the H. academy. He partially perfected his plans for the study and practice of medicine, when he was called upon to abandon the object of his ambition and take upon himself the care of his aged parents. He taught school several terms, but devoted most of his energies to farming. He held the office of deacon of the Congregational church, and also various town offices, being selectman, moderator, overseer of the poor, a member of the school committee, and representing the town in the legislature. His influence over the young men of the town was always in the right direction. In 1868 he rem. to Weathersfield, Vt., and one year later to Franconia, where he took charge of the fruit and vegetable farm connected with the Profile house. After remaining there eight years he rem. to Peterboro', where he continues to res. At the Hancock Centennial he responded to the sentiment, "The men and women of 1788 who laid the foundation of the first church of Han- cock"; and at the church centennial, in 1888, he was the president of the day.
He m. Ellen B., dau. of Dea. Nathaniel Warren, of Weathersfield, Vt., who d. in Peterboro', Jan. 20, 1879. She "was a cheerful, will- ing helpmate, a conscientious, devoted, loving wife and mother. . She made her home a center of social life and a power for good in the community."
