AGRICULTURE OF THE TOWN.
Mr. Webster is reported to have said, in regard to it :
" When I stand between the handles of my big plow, drawn by six or eight stout oxen, and see it cut through the earth, turning in and covering grass, stones and stumps, I feel a greater enthusiasm than I ever experienced in the most ear- nest efforts at the bar, in the senate, or on the platform."
RECENT FARMING ORGANIZATIONS.
The town has two active organizations, barely mentioned in previous pages, Bartlett Grange and the Farmers Club. These are doing good service, and keep alive a love for the home and the farm of the fathers. The Farmers Club has initiated a series of fairs, which promise lasting benefits to the town.

CHAPTER XXX.
VILLAGES AND OTHER LOCATIONS.
" Loveliest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the laboring swain, Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
And parting summer's lingering bloom delayed."
There were three or four general business centres in the old town, to which we may add as many other hamlets or special locations, all bearing names suggested by their positions or surroundings. The severance of her territory transferred two of them to the new town of Franklin.
The South Road Village was named from its situation on the south road, or south rangeway, which runs through it from east to west. The turnpike road, intersecting the former near the easterly limit of the village, occupies common ground to the westerly section of the village, and then takes a north- westerly direction toward the Centre Village. Here are located the academy, once a popular institution, the Congregational church, a post office, two stores, and several mechanical work- shops. Formerly this village was a great centre for trade, and its hotels were resorts for travellers, teamsters and the farmers from the north, who brought their products to market. With the opening of railroads the business rapidly decreased, and the South Road Village, like that at the Centre, gave in- dications of decline.
We present an outline, drawn by Thomas D. Little, Esq., of the principal streets and their connections, with the designa- tions of dwellings and places of business, at present and in former years :

Mr. Eastman, in his description in 1823, says : "This is also on the northern mail route from Boston to Burlington. In this village there are about thirty dwelling houses, one Con- gregational meeting house, erected in the year 1790, two stores, one bookbindery, one tavern, one saddlery, one hatter's shop, two shoemaker's shops, three wheelwright shops, two blacksmith's shops. Also, a post office, called the West Post Office, two law offices and an academy."
Of the Centre Road Village, he says: "The Centre Road Village is pleasantly situated one mile and a half north west of the South Road Village, on the same great mail route. Here also are about thirty dwelling houses, a Baptist church, erected in 1791, three stores, one tannery, two shoemaker's shops, two cabinet maker's shops, one blacksmith's shop and a law office. Both villages are situated on elevated ground and the sur- rounding scenery is grand, beautiful and picturesque. The distant azure mountains, the fertilizing streams, the cultivated fields, the glens and valleys, and extensive pasture grounds,

interspersed with beautiful copses of woodland, conspire to ren- der it delightful to the eye, and it affords fine subjects for the pen."
The church and the dwellings remain, but age has left its marks upon them. A few of the residences have been im- proved. Now and then one that was prominent years ago, has been taken down or removed. Some trade is still carried on there and limited mechanical work executed. Recently a hotel has been opened. Here, near the church, on the common, stands the Town Hall, where the public meetings of the town and other organizations are held. A school house has long stood in the west section of the village, on the road to the mills.
The record made more than a half century ago, which we have copied, covered the villages on the Merrimack and Pemi- gewasset, which now belongs to Franklin. It says :
"Pemigewasset, or East Village, is situated in the north east corner of the town, at the great falls on the Pemigewasset river. This is a pleasant, thriving place already, and of con- siderable and increasing business. By the enterprise and liberality of a few individuals, an elegant meeting house has lately been erected in this village and ornamented with a bell. Here also are two stores, one tavern, one tannery, three or four cooper's shops, one blacksmith's shop with trip hammers, and one manufacturing establishment. The stream affords several excellent sites for a variety of other mill machinery.
A toll bridge across the Pemigewasset leads from the vil- lage to Sanbornton and Northfield. There is a post office in the village, called the East Post Office.
About three miles below this village, on the alluvium of the Merrimack, mentioned before, the earliest settlements were effected. This is a pleasant farming village, consisting of about ten or twelve dwelling houses, two taverns, one store, a tannery, one blacksmith's shop, one joiner's shop and a law office."
The organization of the town of Franklin gave a new im- petus to business in the village known as Pemigewasset or
395
VILLAGES AND OTHER LOCATIONS.
Republican Village, or East Salisbury, but the earlier desig- nations were lost in the general name of the new town. The church is still on its primary location, and is accompanied by hotels, places of trade and manufacturing, and educational buildings, adequate to the demands of the busy place. The town hall and the railway station are located on territory for- merly embraced in the town of Salisbury.
The Lower Village has not maintained its once thriving con- dition. Its hotels and stores, its lawyers and mechanics have gone, but the farmers are fixed on the soil they till and are among the most prosperous of its population. Here have re- sided not a few of the most eminent men of the town. First and foremost among them stand the names of Thompson, Had- dock and Webster. Of the living men, whose early work was mostly done here, we may name only George W. Nesmith, now far past his four score years. His chief interest is in the Orphans Home, whose most liberal patron he has ever been.
This little hamlet is now called South Franklin, "Elms Farm," "Webster Place," or "Orphans Home." All these designations are accepted by the rural residents.
At the railway crossing, just south of the village, was the most elegant house of early times in the town. It was built as early as 1800, by Samuel George, for Capt. Thompson, a brother of Hon. Thomas W. Thompson. It was sold to Brackett Weeks, the father of the late Hon. William P. Weeks, of Canaan, who, in his youthful days, resided there with his parents and attended the academy at the South Road. It was purchased and occupied by Mr. Henry Burleigh, and at the present time is owned and occupied by Mr. Wallace Burleigh.
In addition to the business locations named are other prom- inent points, well known to residents of the town and those accustomed to visit it, which, being named, serve to mark dif- ferent sections, and are convenient when reference is made to parties residing in their vicinity.
"The Mills" is the name given to the locality in School District No. 6, where most of the manufacturing and mechan- ical industries are conducted. Here is also a post office.
396
HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
" Smith's Corner," is in the westerly section. It was early settled, having at one time a large hotel, kept by Phineas Bean, and it is quite evident that "English and West India Goods " were once kept there for sale on the southwest corner, by Mr. Bean, or perhaps by one Adams. The Union meeting house, built in 1834, is located here. On the northeast corner lived Reuben Greeley, and Joseph Colby on the northwest corner, where he had a harness shop.
"Scribner's Corner " is a mile and a quarter north of "Smith's Corner," and is so called for the Scribners, who early settled there.
"Parsons's Corner" is at the junction of Cash street and the turnpike road, and was so called out of respect for one of Salisbury's good citizens, Dea. William Parsons.
"Quimby's" or "Shaw's Corner," is situated in the east part of the town. It was named for Edward Quimby, an early resident, who had a blacksmith shop there. Stephen Perrin manufactured hats there. It has recently been called "Shaw's Corner," probably from the fact that a family of that name re- side near by on a road leading directly to that locality.
" The Birth Place," as it is now called, is in Franklin, not far from the Salisbury line. In determining the limits of the new town, an irregular line was established, ostensibly not to disturb the boundaries of a school district, but more probably for the honor of claiming the farm on which the greatest American statesman was born.

CHAPTER XXXI.
PHYSICIANS AND LAWYERS.
" Divinity, Physic, and Law Of the good things of life have possession,
And who wishes to put in his claw, Must follow a learned profession ; For if each vulgar elf, through his lucre of pelf, Is permitted to plunder and pilfer his brother,
The friends of the church will be left in the lurch, And Physic and Law may go hang one another."
PHYSICIANS.
The first physician in the town was Dr. Colby, who remained but a short time. It is said that a neighbor being annoyed by some transaction of the doctor's, complained of him to the church for racing horses on the Sabbath. This so vexed the doctor that he left the town for a more congenial location.
JOSEPII BARTLETT,
son of Joseph and Jane (Colby ) Bartlett, was born in Ames- bury, Mass., January 14, 1751, and studied medicine with his uncle, Joseph Bartlett, of Kingston, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. At the age of twenty he came to Salisbury and settled opposite the present residence of Merrill Perry. Dr. Bartlett, being the first permanent phy- sician, his practice soon became very extensive, reaching into most of the surrounding towns. He soon won the respect of his fellow townsmen as a citizen, and the confidence, as a learned and skillful physician, of all who knew him. In town affairs he took a lively interest, and was often selected as an agent of the town and upon important committees. He be-

came the first Justice of the Peace after the incorporation of the town, having been designated by a vote of his fellow townsmen. He was much employed outside of his profession, officially and otherwise. Early in life he joined the Masonic Order, in which he took a very active part through his life. He died September 20, 1800, having been in practice nearly thirty years.
As an illustration of the prices charged by physicians for their professional services at that time, the following bill of fees is appended :

JOSEPH BARTLETT, JR.,
son of the first physician, was born in Salisbury, April 8, 1775. He studied medicine with his father, whom he suc- ceeded in practice, making and sustaining the reputation of a good man and a skillful physician. He died March 18, 1814.

PHYSICIANS AND LAWYERS.
PETER BARTLETT
was brother to Joseph, Jr., with whom he studied. He at- tended lectures at Dartmouth and received the degree of M. D. in 1809. He practiced a short time at Sanbornton, and re- turned to Salisbury as early as 1817, succeeding his brother Joseph on the homestead. In 1836 he removed to Peoria, Ill., where he died September 6, 1838. Dr. Bartlett was an active and enterprising member of society, a man of fine personal ap- pearance and engaging manners. He was probably never sur- passed in the state as a prompt, energetic and attentive physi- cian. When called upon for his services, he went like the wind, keeping three very fleet horses and one in the harness constantly to obey all calls promptly. His removal to the far west produced universal regret. He was Secretary of the New Hampshire Medical Society from 1823 to 1825 inclusive, Presi- dent in 1831 and 1832, and a delegate to the medical school at Hanover in 1827.
JONATHAN KITTREDGE
was a descendant of John Kittredge, who came from England, and settled in Billerica, Mass., and there died in 1776. Dr. Jonathan removed to Salisbury from Canterbury about the year 1810, where he had been for more than twenty years in the medical profession. In Salisbury, he resided in the house opposite Benjamin Pettengill's. He died at the age of 56 years, February 27, 1819. He belonged to the Kittredge fam- ily of Tewksbury, Mass., of whom it used to be said "they were natural-born physicians." While in Salisbury, he was licensed to preach by the Baptist Association, and for years was accustomed to conduct religious exercises in the west part of the town. March 17, 1791, he married Apphia Woodman, of Sanbornton, born May 2, 1773, died` August 21, 1842. The oldest son of Jonathan and Apphia ( Woodman ) Kittredge was Judge Jonathan (D. C. 1813) who read law in New York, and located at Lyme, and, in 1840, removed to Canaan. He was a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and held other important
400

offices. In 1859, he moved to Concord, where he died, 1864, at the age of 70 years. He was for a long time a leading power in the temperance cause. J. Perry Kittredge, of Concord, is his son.
The other children of Dr. Kittredge were Joseph Wood- man, Moses and Aaron, (twins,) and Alfred, Martha and Mary Esther.
JOB WILSON
was born in Gilmanton, January 25, 1776, studied medicine with Dr. Jonathan Kittredge, and received the degree of M. B. at Dartmouth Medical College, in 1804, and M. D., in 1823. Dr. Wilson first settled on Water street, in Boscawen, and re- moved to Salisbury previous to 1814, locating at the Centre Road, and soon had an extensive practice. In 1830-4, he built himself a large house in Franklin known as the "bird house," to which he eventually removed, and there continued his prac- tice. He died in September, 1851. Dr. Wilson became a noted physician and attained to the highest eminence as a sur- geon. He had a large consulting practice for many years. He was a member of the State Medical Society, and its President in 1825-6. He was also a member of the Central Medical So- ciety and was clected a delegate by that society to Dartmouth Medical College, in 1822. He was a diligent student and a frequent contributor to the Boston Medical and Surgical Jour- nal. He was the author of a work on Spotted Fever. He was very methodical in all his business transactions. He early united with the Congregational church in Salisbury and con- tinued an active and exemplary member to the end of life.
THOMAS W. WILSON
was born in Salisbury, February 15, 1806, studied medicine with his father and Dr. Joseph M. Harper, of Canterbury, and graduated at Dartmouth Medical College and began practicing in Salisbury with his father. He had a large practice. He first united with the Calvinistic Baptist church in Salisbury and afterwards with the Congregational church. "Dr. Tom,"

PHYSICIANS AND LAWYERS.
as he was familiarly called, possessed the Wilson character- istics as a physician, and in general practice was by many sup- posed to be superior to his father, but did not reach his father's reputation as a surgeon. He died April 13, 1861.
LEVI G. HILL
was born at Strafford in 1812, and was educated at Strafford, Newmarket, and Gilmanton academies. Studied medicine with Dr. Webster, of Strafford, Dr. Wright, of Gilmanton, and Prof. Muzzey, of Hanover, and graduated from Dartmouth Medical College, in November, 1837. Subsequently, he spent consider- able time in hospitals and medical colleges, at Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. He came to Salisbury in 1838, and resided in the house now occupied by John C. Smith. He re- mained in Salisbury about three years, when he removed to Virginia, and remained at Norfolk about one year, the climate not agreeing with him. He then returned and settled in Dover, where he has since resided and practiced. Dr. Hill is a member and ex-President of the City, District, and State Med- ical Societies, Honorary Member of the Maine Medical Associ- ation and Vice President of the American Medical Association. He married Miss Abigail Burnham, daughter of Samuel Shack- ford, of Barrington, and has four children. He has been for several years a member of the school board, and also of the city government of Dover.
JOHN PROCTOR
resided and practiced in Salisbury previous to 1820. He re- sided in the house recently owned by Eliphalet Little, which he sold to him when removing to Epsom. He came here from Amesbury, Mass. This is all that is known of him.
JESSE MERRILL
was born at Peacham, Vt., August 1, 1794. His paternal an- cestor, Nathaniel, settled at Ipswich, Mass., as early as 1638. Dr. Merrill studied medicine with Drs. McIlvain, of York, Me., and Shed, of Peacham, Vt., graduated at Dartmouth Medical Col-

HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
lege in 1819, and settled in that part of Salisbury now Franklin, where for a quarter of a century he was the leading physician of that village and practiced extensively in the surrounding towns. His charges at the time of his commencing practice and for many years were twenty-five cents for the west side of the river and thirty-four cents for the other side, in the village pre- cincts. June 20, 1820, he married Sarah Johnson, of Peacham, Vt. After changing his residence several times, he built the second house north of the present residence of Judge Nesmith. He also moved the old Noyes school house and fitted it up for a dwelling, into which he moved and in which he resided till his removal to Hopkinton, Mass., where he died Nov. 18, 1860. He was a generous spirited man and gave himself unreservedly to his profession, and if a call was made upon him day or night, he was ready to answer it promptly, both in the darkness and the storm, and it made no difference whether it came from the rich or the poor. Dr. Merrill was a strong anti-slavery man and remembered those in bonds as bound with them, and had for a co-laborer Dudley Ladd. The fugitive slave, as he fled from bondage in our then boasted land of freedom, had the sympathy, the encouragement and material aid of these gen- tlemen.
In June, 1822, his family, with a few others, formed the nucleus of a Congregational church in that village. With his other manly virtues, he was a noted temperance man. His wife died March 27, 1847. In November, 1848, he married Miss Ann H. Morrill, of Boscawen, who died in October, 1880.
MOSES HILL,
son of Moses and Mary ( Hoit) Hill, was born in Warner, May 5, 1805 ; he pursued his academic studies at Kingston and Salis- bury academies; studied medicine with Dr. Peter Bartlett, and graduated at Dartmouth Medical College in 1831. He attended several courses of lectures at Philadelphia, and began practice in Northwood, where he married Miss Eliza Clark. On the removal of Dr. Peter Bartlett to Peoria, Ill., Dr. Hill succeeded him and remained one year, when he removed to

Manchester and there pursued the practice of medicine very successfully for twenty-three years. He then removed to Bur- lington, Iowa, and died while on a visit to Port Huron, Mich., January 27, 1875.
BENJAMIN E. WOODMAN
was born at Salem, November 13, 1802; studied medicine with Dr. Peter Bartlett three years, graduating at Dartmouth Medi- cal College in 1829. He began practice in Andover, and suc- ceeded Dr. Moses Hill, in Salisbury, when he removed to Man- chester and remained one year. He resided at Hampstead, married, October 20, 1830, Miss Ann, daughter of Moses Clement, and died February 24, 1877.
