FLANDERS-FLINT.
FLANDERS.
CHARLES SMITH, son of Luther G. and Mary Elizabeth (Smith) Flanders, was b. in New Hampton, May 23, 1857. He was educated in New Hampton Academy, John Hopkins Univer- sity and Bates College. He was a fine teacher and newspaper publisher, being connected with the Hillsborough Messenger for just seventeen years, when, in 1916, he sold his interest to Mr. Chadwick. Mr. Flanders was teaching at Dean Academy, Frank- lin, Mass., which position he held until 1903, when he came to Hillsborough to make it his permanent home. The following year he was elected Selectman, which position, most of the time as Chairman of the Board, he held until his death, May 2, 1918. He was Representative to the General Court 1906-1907 ; Delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1916-'17-'18. Mr. Flanders was a quiet, unassuming man, who usually acquired the object he was after. In his death the town lost one of its most substantial cit- izens ; the home one of its most faithful comrades.
Mr. Flanders m. Dec. 26, 1907, Emily Z., dau. of Solomon L. and Eunice A. (Pease) Kendall, of Hillsborough.

FLINT.
This name appears early in the second settlement of Hills- borough, as it was in truth an early family in New England. The early records of Salem, Mass., mentions one Thomas Flint as early as 1640, and his mother seems to have been there with him, though it is not certain he was married at that time. Tradition says he came from Wales, Eng., and history records the fact that he was among the settlers of Salem Village, now South Danvers. He acquired his land by purchase, and there is a deed on record Sept. 18, 1654, describing to him "one hundred and fifty acres of meadow and pasture land, and lying within the bounds of Salem," which he had bought of John Pickering. The second deed on record, but describing land bought prior to the other lot of Robert

HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH.
Goodell, Jan. I, 1652, declares it to be "fifty acres situated in Salem near upon a square." This farm of the old patriarch has always remained in the possession of his descendants, and may be truly called "the old homestead," it having been in the family more than two hundred and fifty years. His wife's Christian name was Ann, but we have to stop there. He d. April 15, 1663. They had six children: Thomas, Elizabeth, George, John, Anna and Joseph. These children settled in Salem and Reading, from whence their numerous progeny scattered, until representatives of the family are found in every state of the Union, and are en- gaged in many occupations and professions.
Running down the line, Thomas, George, Ebenezer, Eben- ezer, Jr., Ebenezer, 3rd, Ebenezer, 4th, b. in North Reading, Mass., May 13, 1765, m. Mar. 14, 1793, Dorcas Lufkin, and came to H. about that time to settle on the farm now occupied by Samuel C. Gammell. Ebenezer Flint, tradition says, bought his farm of Col. John Hill for $1.25 an acre. It may have been that his father, Ebenezer, did this, as he was only II years of age at the time of Col. Hill's death. He d. Mar. 14, 1833; his wife d in Mar., 1848.

I have lived on board ship sixteen years ; have sailed nearly every sea ; visited nearly every political division on the globe; and have come in con- tact with the people of nearly every nation, to come to the belief that my native land is the most favored country on earth, and her people the best that live."

JACOB FLINT.
This name appears early in the second settlement of Hills- borough, as it was in truth an early family in New England. Jacob Flint was certainly here in 1776, and probably had been here some years before that date. Tradition says he located on the place where Samuel O. Gibson later lived. There is good reason also to believe he lived in other parts of the town, but his name disappears from the tax list in 1803, whether by death or removal is not certain. He was a brick mason. He m. in Oct., 1777, Elizabeth, dau. of Capt. Samuel and Mary (Taylor) Brad- ford. The History of Hancock credits him with being the father of ten children, but we have found record of but 7, and these records incomplete. (See Hancock.)

FOSTER.
AMOS BANCROFT, s. of Aaron and Mehitable (Nichols) Foster, b. July 15, 1804, grad. from the Military Aca- demy at West Point in 1872, and was ordered to Fort Dearborn, at Chicago, Ill., in the spring of 1831 ; was rem. to Fort Howard, Green Bay, where he was murdered in the following tragic man- ner, Feb. 7, 1832 : Lieut. Foster had reprimanded a private of his company by the name of Doyle for disorderly conduct, ordering a corporal to take him to the guard house. "Oh, yes, Lieutenant, I'll go to the guard house," said Doyle, starting alone in that direction, running across the parade ground, and upon reaching the building seized a musket. Eluding the vigilance of the cor- poral he ran upstairs to the lieutenant, who had retired to his chamber on the second story. Before his victim could offer resistance he shot him through the heart, the ball passing through the right arm above the elbow, through the body, and shattering the left arm. As the murderer beat a retreat the wounded officer started towards his bed room to fall across the threshold, expiring instantly. Doyle was captured and punished for his crime, but this did not restore the life of the brave and beloved Lieutenant Foster, whose future had looked so promising.
SUEL, s. of Aaron and Mehitable (Nichols) Foster, b. Aug. 26, 1811, in H .; ed. at Chester Academy ; m. Oct. 8, 1843, at Muscatine, Iowa, Sarah J., dau. of Robert C. and -Hast- ings, of Fowler, N. Y. Mr. Foster emigrated to Muscatine, Ia., in 1836, where he engaged extensively in agriculture, pomology and horticulture. It has been truthfully said that "he was the Father of Iowa's State Agricultural College; was a member of its first Board of Trustees and President of the board for five years ; was also prominent in the State Agricultural and Horticul- tural societies; was a conspicuous figure in the organization and support of our County Agricultural Society, County Grange and Farmer's Alliance, laboring unfailingly to promote the interest of these organizations. As a horticulturalist no citizen has contri- buted more untiring study and labor to cultivate and popu- larize the best fruit and shade trees for Iowa, and the "Wealthy" apple, and the beautiful Catalpa, which he domiciled in Iowa, will
