Railroad Commissioners
)P. Gilchrist for A. S. Twitchell
New Hampshire E. P. Hodsdon
Selectmen Rufus Chamberlain of George Rose
Lyndeborough Adoniram Russell
The railroad commissioners adjudged the bridging of the highway near Buttrick's mill unnecessary. The railroad, though a piece of private property, was yet a thing of public interest to both the town and those who visited it. From Wil- ton to Greenfield was called the Peterborough railroad. The contract for building it was awarded to George Washington Cram of Norwalk, Conn. His father, Daniel Cram, a native of Lyndeborough, was engaged to build the stone work. The grade of the road from Wilton to South Lyndeborough averages a rise of 80 feet to the mile.
Two objects of considerable mechanical curiosity were pro- duced in its construction. One was the trestle, and another the gulf bridge. Twenty-five years ago, a person going from Wilton to South Lyndeborough by rail would feel the train slowing up as he passed around a curve just before reaching the old glass factory. On learning the cause, he would find himself gliding over rails supported by piles forming a trestle- work from twenty to thirty feet above the ground level. It was several hundred feet long and was traversed with varying de- grees of both curiosity and trepidation. But soon after leaving its stilts, the train plunged into a cut which assured the timid. that they had again reached terra firma. The trestle was viewed as a triumph of engineering and lasted many years without causing special injury or accident.
Early in 1887, a gravel train commenced operations on the track, and filled all the spaces between and around the piles, and an excellent road-bed of stones, earth and gravel was built up. There is no visible trace of the old trestle. When sojourn- ers of many years' absence return they miss the trestle, and find that it has shared the fate of many an old acquaintance, - has been buried.

MISCELLANEOUS
The gulf bridge still retains its visibility. It stands nearly a mile west of the South Lyndeborough station, and spans the ravine of the Rocky River. It is about two hundred feet in length, and trains crossing it are about 70 feet above the river's channel. The trusses of this bridge are inverted, or seem to be suspended beneath the girders. They would at first view of one unskilled in mechanical engineering seem to hang as a mere weight upon the structure. But the structure, slender, strong and graceful in its proportions, has endured for more than thirty years, and as yet presents no visible tokens of decay. The more closely it is inspected, the deeper the impression it leaves of its mechanical beauty, power and durability.

CHAPTER XXXVI. MORTUARY RECORD.
The dates of the decease of earlier citizens must be sought in the genealogical records. The printed reports of the town previous to 1861 seem to contain no specific mortuary lists. In that year, however, a full list of the deaths seems to be given. In transcribing the list, some who died in infancy and child- hood, are for obvious reasons omitted. A few, however, who died quite young, are, for special reasons, occasionally retained. Our list then, consisting of names, dates of decease, and ages, commences with 1861, and will awaken sorrowful interest in the hearts of many who glance it over.

THE HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH.
Genealogies. PART II.
Jacob a. Woodward
Preface.
We wish to acknowledge the valuable aid in the compiling of these "family registers," as well as other contributions to this history, which we have received from the papers of John H. Goodrich, Esq. No other family in town is so rich in old records and papers pertaining to the early history of Lyndeborough as the Goodrich family. To these papers we have had free access.
In our desire and search for dates of births, deaths and mar- riages, we have been received with unvarying patience, kind- ness and courtesy by the people of the town. Doubtless we have been something of a " bore " at times, but almost every one seemed willing to help the cause along.
The Cram family registers were obtained through the enter- prise of Mr. Luther Cram. They were revised by Rev. Mr. Donovan. All we had to do with them was to copy the papers and change their form to correspond with that adopted for this history.
Many of the families of the early settlers have been extinct in town for fifty or more years, and in many instances it was only after much correspondence with town clerks and postmasters that we were able to get any trace of their descendants. Some- times we were able to secure a good record, in other cases a very imperfect one.
