Col. Jesse A. Gove, a native of Weare, commanded the Twenty- second Massachusetts regiment. He was killed at Gaines Mill, June 27, 1862, and was much lamented.§
Col. Stark Fellows, another Weare man, was commissioned first lieutenant of Company D, in the Fourteenth regiment. He was an officer of great merit and presented himself to General Casey's board, in the summer of 1863, for examination to be commissioned colonel of a colored regiment.

§ COL. JESSE A. GOVE, son of Squire and Dolly (Atwood) Gove, was born in Weale, Dec. 5, 1824. In his youth he showed his taste for the life of a soldier and was sent to the military academy at Norwich, Vt., then under the charge of Colonel Ran- som. In March, 1847, he was appointed second lieutenant of the Ninth infantry and was made first lieutenant the following December, while serving with his company in Mexico. At the close of the war he studied law with Pierce & Minot at Concord, was admitted to practice in 1851, was deputy secretary of state from 1850 10 1855, when he joined the regular army, being made captain of Co. I, Tenth infantry. He at onee went to Utah and there remained in active duty until the breaking out of the Rebel- lion, when he was ordered with the rest of the troops to Washington. On his arrival he was made colonel of the Twenty-second Massachusetts regiment and, under Gen- eral Mcclellan, went to the Peninsula to engage in the advance on Richmond. At Yorktown his regiment scaled the ramparts, and Colonel Gove was the first Union man on the Confederate fortifications after the war opened.
But his career was brief. On June 27, 1862, he occupied with his regiment the cen- ter of the battle line at Gaines Mill, and for most of the day was in the hottest of the fight. At night he was ordered to retreat, and as his men were giving the enemy a parting shot he was pierced through the heart by a minie ball and fell dead.
Colonel Gove was a brave soldier, and he made a noble end to a noble life. He was buried on the battle-field. Sergt. Marshall S. Pike thus wrote of him : -
" He sleeps where he fell 'mid the battle's roar, With his comrades true and brave; And his noble form we shall see no inore, - It rests in a hero's grave; Where the rebel foe in his inight came forth, With all his power and pride, And our gallant men from the rugged North, Like patriots fought and died."
His regiment, July 14, 1862, passed resolutions of respeet to his memory, which were sent to his family, and the Mount Horeb cominandery of Masons at Coneord, to which order he belonged, did the same.
Colonel Gove married Maria L. Sherburn, daughter of Robert Sherburn, of Concord, and to them were born two children.

He died in April, 1864, of yellow fever, at Key West, where he was in charge of Fort Taylor, leaving an enviable reputation. The Grand Army post in Weare was named for him.
The South was exhausted, and the Rebellion collapsed early in April, 1865. Our immense army was soon after disbanded, and the men came home.
The town debt in 1865 was $64,880.77. The whole expense of the war to the town was about $70,000. The town voted in 1866 to issue town bonds in payment of the same, pay the interest, six per cent semi-annually, in gold, or its equivalent, and that words to that effect be put in the bonds. These bonds have now, 1887, all been paid, and the town is out of debt.
The Rebellion cost the whole country more than $6,000,000,000 and one million lives. The result was, - slavery destroyed and the Union preserved. The country slowly recovered from the ter- rible injury it received, and is now in a highly prosperous condition.
CHAPTER LXII.
THE CONGREGATIONALISTS.
THE Antipedobaptist church at South Weare, formed in 1768, ceased to exist in 1843. The First Freewill Baptist church, estab- lished in 1806, now, in 1874, had very little vitality. The few members simply employed Elder David Moody, or Elder Nathaniel B. Smith, "to preach out" their share of the interest from the ministerial fund, and did nothing more. The Universalists were in the same low condition, and the old meeting-house was sadly out of repair.
Early in 1874 "Rev. Edward H. Greeley, secretary of the New Hampshire Home Missionary society, in his travels over the hills and through the pleasant valleys of the state, examined this field, discovered its spiritual destitution, and learned facts indicating that . the people were ready to encourage a union under the Congrega- tional form and name." Mr. Greeley at once procured Albert B. Palmer, then a layman, to hold a few meetings at South Weare, and so well was he liked that he was engaged for six months, and his

family was moved there about Dec. 1, 1874. Mr. Palmer worked with energy, and Dec. 24th eighteen substantial citizens associated themselves into a society to "support the public worship of God and promote Christian knowledge and charity according to the general usages of the Congregational churches and parishes of New Hampshire."*
Feb. 1, 1875, Abraham Thorp, Enoch Bartlett, John L. Hadley, Josiah G. Dearborn, Henry H. Spalding, George W. Colby, Wil- liam B. Morse and their associates became a body corporate, agree- ably to the general statutes of the state, and published a notice to that effect in one of the daily papers of Manchester.
The corporation held its first meeting March 23d and adopted a constitution. It provided that the name should be "The Union Congregational society"; who should be members; what officers should be chosen and their duties ; how meetings should be called and elections held; how many should constitute a quorum, and for amendments. It stated " that its object should be to co-operate with the Congregational church of Weare, when such church should be organized to maintain the public worship of Almighty God." Twenty-five men signed it.
George W. Colby was chosen chairman, Perley E Bartlett clerk, John L. Hadleyt treasurer, and Hamon Hazen, Henry H. Spald-
* The Union Congregational society of Weare was organized under the following articles of association : -
"The undersigned, all of Weare, in the county of Hillsborough and state of New Hampshire, do hereby associate ourselves together under the name of the 'Union Congregational Society of Weare,' as a parish or religious society of Weare; and the purposes for which this corporation is established are the support of the public worship of God and the promotion of Christian knowledge and charity according to the general usages of the Congregational churches and parishes of New Hampshire. " Weare, N. H., Dec. 28, 1874."

t HON. JOHN LANGDON HADLEY, son of Captain George and Mehitable (Tay) Had- ley, was born in Weare, Feb. 19, 1810. He received a common-school education and attended high school three terms at South Weare and one in Goffstown. His father died when he was fourteen years old, leaving him alone with his mother to carry on the farm and provide for the family. He taught a district school at the age of fifteen, for $8 a month, and followed teaching and farming for the next thirteen years.
In 1833, when but twenty-three years old, he was elected one of the representatives from Weare to the legislature, and was re-elected in 1834, 1835, 1836, 1837 and 1838, being the youngest member in the house. Such was the confidence reposed in him by his townsmen that during that time they also frequently elected him selectman and town clerk. The Democratic county convention, in 1839, without his knowledge or solici- tation, nominated him as a candidate for register of deeds; he was elected, and re-

ing and George W. Colby trustees ; the first to serve one year, the second two, and the third three.
The old meeting-house was so much out of repair that it could not well be used for church purposes, and in the winter of 1874-5 the society held its meetings in Dearborn's hall and in the following summer in Buxton's hall.
This was not satisfactory, and all felt that to prosper they must have a new church edifice. A committee of the society examined the condition of the old house, reported against repairing it, and in favor of taking it down and building a new one on the same site; that the old proprietors had sold it in ten shares, now the property of a few individuals ; that they could buy nine of them, but the tenth was held in the interest of the Universalists and could not be had. This led to an agreement to build a union house, the Congregation- alists to furnish three-fourths of the funds, and the Universalists one-
elected in 1840, 1841, 1842. He married, Oct. 1, 1839, Elizabeth L. Cilley, and moved to Amherst, living there four years, when he returned to his farm in Weare. In 1846, 1847 and 1848 he was again returned to the legislature, and in each of those years was chairman of the Democratie legislative committee, presided over the legislature in 1847 for the choice of speaker and was a member of important committees. He took an active part in many of the measures before the house and made several speechies, of which one in relation to the tariff, another concerning abolition and a third upon tlie question of reserving the right to any future legislature to alter, amend, modify or repeal the charter of any corporation as the public good may require, were pub- lished and show marked ability.
Mr. Hadley was twice elected, in 1849 and 1850, to the executive council, Samuel Dinsmore being governor at that time. In 1850, while a member of the council, he was elected by the legislature to the important office of secretary of state, and was re-elected each year till 1855. The Know-Nothings came into power that year and, of course, Mr. Hadley, as a Democrat, had to go out. He was commissioned a justice of the peace in 1834 and has held the office ever since, fifty-two years. His present con- mission will expire in 1890.
He returned to his farm in South Weare in 1857, where he has since remained a use- ful and substantial citizen. He lias settled several estates, and been referee in in- portant cases, and although his party in town has been most of the time in the mi- nority, he has held important town offices, been interested and active in public affairs, has ever been ready to uphold the right and condemn wrong, has taken a leading part in improving the village, beautifying and enlarging the cemetery, and in building a new church edifice. He was one of the largest subscribers for the last, helped pro- cure the sweet-toned bell in its steeple and for about seven years was the faithful and trusted treasurer of the Congregationalist society.
To Mr. Hadley and his wife were born five children,1 three of whom now survive. His father, Capt. George Hadley, was a soldier in the old French and Indian war and in the war of the Revolution, and Mr. Hadley is the only man in Weare at the present time, 1886, and probably in the state, who is the living son of a man who fought in both those wars.
He was a popular public officer. He had kindness, candor and consideration for all whom he met. To these qualities he added temperance and frugality, an honest zeal, strict integrity and an untiring industry. All acknowledged his fitness for and capability to perform the duties of the offices he held, and if his party had continued in power, without doubt, he would have achieved higher positions.
1 GEORGE L. HADLEY, son of Hon. Jolin L. and Elizabeth L. (Cilley) Hadley, was born in Weare, Oct. 6, 1840. He labored on his father's farm, was educated at the common schools of the town and at the high school in Concord where he graduated the first in his class, taught schools in Weare, and about 1858 went to Alabama. There he studied medicine with an uncle and also taught school. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion he came North, engaged in farming and school-teaching, and about 1873 secured the situation of book-keeper in the Amoskeag savings bank. Mr. Hadley died May 11, 1875, of scarlet fever after a very brief illness, leaving a wife. He was a thorough scholar, was noted for his faithfulness and ability and was held in high esteem by a large circle of acquaintances.

fourth, and each society to own and control the house in that pro- portion. Then the old house was at once bought, John L. Hadley and Henry H. Spalding for the Congregationalists, and Luther E. Gould for the Universalists, chosen building committee, and sub- scription lists* were circulated to raise the funds. One society sub- scribed $2025, and the other $675.
When it became evident that the old house that had stood for eighty-five years must come down, they arranged for farewell exer- cises in it, to be held Sunday, July 4, 1875. Rev. Albert B. Palmer preached an interesting historical discourse, and Elder David Moody, who had been pastor in it for the Freewill Baptists a quarter of a century before, made an excellent address. People came from all parts of the town, the house was filled to overflowing, and the glori- ous Fourth was thus piously celebrated.
The first blow was struck to demolish the old meeting-house Aug. 30th. The contractors, George W. Colbyt and Jonathan Stoning, began work on the new one Oct. 4th, and it was com- pleted in January, 1876. It was furnished with circular, tasteful ash pews trimmed with black walnut. Osgood Fifield, of Bos- ton, a native of Weare, made a gift of the beautiful pulpit, the Ladies' Sewing Circle assisted by the Universalists presented the carpet, Lucius B. Morrill gave as a present the pulpit Bible, a fine copy, Almon Lufkin and Otis A. Sleeper bestowed the church- clock, and four ex-governors of New Hampshire and a few other persons gave the fine-toned bell that hangs in the steeple. The names of the donors are cast in the bell.

t GEORGE W. COLBY, son of Jonathan G. and Asenath (Morrill) Colby, was born in Lowell, Mass., Feb. 6, 1830. He came to Weare with his parents, who were both natives of our town, when four years old; attended the common schools at Weare and the high school in Concord, and learned his trade, that of a carpenter, in the latter place and Manchester. Mr. Colby is an active, energetic man, and has often been honored by his townsmen with public office. He was moderator at the annual town-meeting for ten years, one of the selectmen for five years, a member of the legislature in 1872 and 1873 and agent for the town funds for five years. He is a director of the Weare Insurance company and a member of the Bible lodge of Masons at Goffstown. He married Melissa Cilley March 3, 1857; children : Elvira Jane, born Nov. 27, 1859, mar- ried Almus W. Morse, trader at South Weare, June 2, 1881; and Lucy Ann, born May 24, 1864, married John G. Dodge, of Goffstown, Sept. 17, 1886. Mr. Colby now resides in Goffstown.

ORGANIZED AND RECOGNIZED.
1876.]
The cost of the house was $3224. The pews sold for $3146.36, leaving an indebtedness on the house of only $77.64.
A committee from each society met and agreed upon the use and occupancy of the house. The Universalists were to have it the third Sabbath of every month, and in addition the fourth Sabbath in August, the Congregationalists to have it the rest of the year, and the house to be used only for religious purposes. They also provided for the building of horse-sheds, the care of the house and ringing the bell, and for the settlement of disputes if any should arise.
All things being now ready, a council was called, consisting of Rev. Edward G. Selden, Jasper P. George, of Manchester; Rev. Charles M. Palmer, of Meriden ; Rev. S. Leroy Blake, T. W. Per- kins, of Concord; Rev. Samuel L. Gerould, John F. Marden, of Goffstown ; Rev. John Bragdon, Benjamin Hall, of New Boston ; Rev. Henry F. Campbell, Stephen Holt, of Francestown; Rev. Edward H. Greeley, of Concord, to recognize the church, to or- dain the pastor and to dedicate the meeting-house.
Feb. 1, 1876, the people assembled for the first time in their new edifice. The council was present, and twenty-one persons presented themselves before it as the members of the new church. Their articles of faith were carefully examined, and then they were for- mally recognized as " The Union Congregational church of South Weare."*
In the evening Rev. Albert B. Palmer, having passed a satis- factory examination, was ordained as a minister of the gospel and set in charge of the new church as its acting pastor.
The next day, Feb. 2d, the church edifice was dedicated with appropriate and impressive services, in which the Universalists par- ticipated. The church was filled to repletion, and everything transpired happily.
The pastor thus writes: "Though this little church of twenty- one members came from several different communions, still the members were able to unite very happily under the new name, and

though not less Baptists or Methodists than before, were sufficiently in sympathy with Congregationalists to enable them for the sake of union to work conscientiously and earnestly for the upbuilding of the common cause of truth and righteousness."
After laboring for the church and society three years and six months, Rev. Mr. Palmer, May 1, 1878, on account of failing health, resigned the pastorate. The resignation was received with sorrow. The church had prospered under his ministrations. It had in- creased from twenty-one to thirty-eight members. His salary was small, only about $250 a year, yet he worked as cheerfully as though it were thousands. Resolutions of regret, presented by Hon. John L. Hadley, were unanimously passed by the society.
" The Lord opened the way for Mr. Charles H. Taintor to take up the work " that Mr. Palmer laid down. June 3, 1878, Mr. Taintor was invited to supply for one year. So much were they pleased with him that March 25, 1879, they gave him a call to become their settled pastor. He accepted and was installed by a council. He labored faithfully, got up a lively interest and much increased the attendance upon church services. But such a man soon gets another call, $250 was a small salary, and in less than two years, April 22, 1880, he closed his labors in South Weare, to accept the pastorate of the church at Hooksett.
Rev. John A. Rowell was the next pastor. He was invited July 16, 1880, at once accepted and was installed by council. His pas- torate was a success, and like his predecessor he soon got a strong summons to go hence. Nov. 26, 1882, he closed his labors and went to preach for the church in Francestown.
In March, 1883, the church and society extended a call to Rev. Orrin G. Baker, guaranteeing him a salary of $500 a year, $300 from the society and $200 from home missions. But Mr. Baker did not accept the call, and for two years they were without a pas- tor or stated preaching. Andover students supplied, and Rev. John Bragdon preached three months in the summer of 1884. Rev. Albert B. Palmer, their first pastor, came back and labored occasionally in the latter part of 1884 and the beginning of 1885.
· The church suffered from this neglect, it lost members and sup- porters by deaths and removals, and was not so strong either in numbers or wealth as at the outset.
The church felt its situation, and in the summer of 1885 secured the services of Rev. John Thorpe, of Lawrence, Mass. He was

well liked, and Dec. 30th was ordained at the meeting-house. Rev. John A. Rowell, of Francestown, began the services by reading the Scriptures, Rev. Albert Watson, of Hampstead, preached, Rev. Edward H. Greeley, of Concord, gave the charge and made the or- daining prayer, Rev. Roderick J. Mooney, of Hillsboro' Bridge, gave the right hand of fellowship, Rev. Samuel L. Gerould, of Goffstown, the charge to the people, and the new pastor the bene- diction.
Rev. Mr. Thorpe has since preached to the acceptance of his congregation Sabbath forenoons, and to the people of North Weare Sabbath afternoons. He has a salary of about $300 from his own people, and the Second Freewill Baptist church's interest of the ministerial fund, and what else they choose to give him at North Weare .*
A Sabbath school was organized at the outset, which has been very successful ; and the ladies early established a sewing circle, which has done much in aid of the society. It carpeted the meet- ing-house, paid for most of the tinting the house, for one-half of the parsonage, and has furnished the rooms connected with the parsonage for social entertainments.
CHAPTER LXIII.
THE UNIVERSALISTS AT SOUTH WEARE.
THE efforts of Rev. Albert B. Palmer and others woke up the Universalists of South Weare. The Congregationalists tried to buy their share in the old meeting-house. They would not sell, and the result was the agreement to build a new house, they to own one- fourth of it, and the Congregationalists three-fourths.
