whatever he earned by teaching or in other ways, until he became of age, he gave into the hands of his father. After he had attained his majority, he made up his mind to secure a liberal education, and he accomplished his purpose after a long, hard struggle, graduating at Dartmouth college in the class of 1845 .* After graduating he became professor of the Latin and Greek languages at New Hamp- ton seminary, and some two years later, at the earnest solicitation of the executive committee, he became principal of the Literary and Scientific institution in H., which position he held three and one- half years ; res. at the place marked " Mrs. A. C. Blood." There are many into whose hands this history will fall, who can testify to his fidelity to his trust while here.t The writer and the town history agent were among his pupils.# I shall ever remember with gratitude the privileges I enjoyed while under his instruction. His influence was helpful in various ways. I shall never forget an illustration he gave us one day, drawn from his own experience in the days of his early struggles, when he was an assistant in laying stone wall ; it gave me new ideas in regard to the dignity of labor. (See p. 229.) After leaving H. he taught high schools in Brewster and Winchester, Mass., and for some years was associate teacher in the institution at New London. In 1860 he settled in Antrim, where he became interested in every good work. He continued to take an interest in the cause of education ; was a member of the superintending school committee; was frequently moderator of the town-meetings, and in 1864 and '67 representative to the legislature. He was a man of strong religious convictions. He became deeply interested in religion at the age of 22 years, and soon afterwards united with the Baptist church in H. and Society Land, being immersed in Norway pond. When the Baptist church was organized at Hancock Center, he was one of the thirty who took letters from the parent church to form this church, and he continued his relations with this church until his dismission in 1853. Subsequently he united with the Baptist church in An- trim, and became one of its deacons. He was decided in the prin- ciples which he embraced. He knew what he believed, and at the same time he did not measure other men by his standard. He knew how to be charitable, and judged no man harshly for not accepting
