HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
due in March, 1788. The Salem merchant was paid, but the town received no corresponding advantage. Therefore, Jan. II, 1790, Lieut. Amos Whittemore, and Ensign John Savage were chosen a committee to settle the matter, with full power to " commence an action against the said Epes and others at the next Inferior Court," and make return to the town of their pro- ceedings as soon as may be. This committee reported March 8, 1791, and their report was accepted and expenses were paid. But the matter was far from settled; for it was stated on July 5, 1791, that " the Selectmen had been obliged to pay an execu- tion brought against the Town by Francis Epes, Esq., on the salt affair." On the 8th of August, 1791, a committee consist- ing of Ephraim Putnam, Capt. William Barron, and Levi Spaulding was chosen to look into the matter, and ascertain if possible how and to whom said property was disposed of, and who are indebted to the town for the same, and apply to any fit person for counsel on the affair, and report their information to the town at an adjourned meeting. Accordingly, on the 31st. of October, 1791, this committee reported, "We have made diligent search into the matter, and have applied to counsel for advice ; which advice is, that the matter stands fair to commence an action against Messrs. Epes, Woodbury, and Pearson, on a special promise they made to the Town to clear them from the cost of the salt and molasses, as we find that the said Epes, Woodbury and Pearson conducted the mat- ter as private property, as they sold a great part of the salt and molasses after their year was out as selectmen, and their orders and receipts are signed in a private capacity.
All of which is humbly submitted by your committee.
Ephraim Putnam Levi Spaulding Com." William Barron
The case seems to have been afterwards submitted to referees, whose decision was very adverse to the town. For a commit- tee was chosen to "obtain a more equitable settlement with Francis Epes and others that took place with the referees," and this committee was directed to proceed according to former in- structions in carrying on the suit against Mr. Epes and others. This subject continued to engage the attention of the town from time to time until the year 1800, twenty-five years after the original purchase, and from that time we lose trace of it from the town records.

SMALL POX IN 1792. BY J. A. WOODWARD.
At the present time one can have little idea of the horror and dread which the people had of the small pox in the early days of the settlement of the town. Vaccination was then unknown, and the physicians had not then learned to treat this disease. In some communities thirty per cent. of those attacked died, and sometimes the percentage was greater. It was discovered that persons purposely inoculated with it, especially children, and carefully nursed, had it lightly and recovered; and in some towns hospitals were established, where what were called " classes " were taken to be inoculated, and when these had recovered, another " class" would be accommodated. In the neighboring town of Weare several town meetings were held in the years 1792 and 1793 to decide what should be done about these small pox schools or hospitals, and there was much fear and excitement, all of which is recorded in the History of Weare. In. 1792 a man whose first name was Joe, but whose surname is not recorded, was taken sick with the dread dis- ease. He lived in a house in Lyndeborough near the New Bos- ton line, in the northeast part of the town. Charles J. Smith was a recent occupant of the place. This Joe's neighbors, nearly all of whom lived on the New Boston side of the line, were frenzied with fear and excitement, and a meeting was held forth- with to determine what should be done in the matter. It was advocated by the majority that, as the doctor had said that the man could not live two days, it would be the best thing for all concerned to burn patient and building, and thus avoid the danger of the spread of the contagion in burying him, and also the danger of the disease being carried by the wind; that the man was unconscious and a few hours would make no differ- ence. In excuse it may be said again that they were beside themselves with horror and fear. While they were planning to put the scheme into execution one or two cooler men mounted swift horses and started hot foot for the selectmen of Lynde- borough to see if something could not be done to prevent such a blot on the fair fame of the town. These selectmen were Jeremiah Carleton, Dea. Ephraim Putnam and Samuel Houston. They lost no time in getting to the scene of trouble, and by threats and pleadings soon succeded in calming the excitement and preventing the threatened outrage.
A poem was written at the time describing the occurrence.
.

HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
The author is unknown. Extracts from this poem are inserted, as it was a matter of interest, and is something of a literary curiosity :
The Pox prevails, the people rave, Each man's a fool, each man's a knave. Poor Joe has caught it, takes his flight And seeks a cave in midst of night, Dejected, spurned and much cast down ; From each old hag receives a frown. Spite, the food of Hell's production, Swells their breasts in sad convulsion. This raves, that swears, and some desire To burn his house and all with fire. To cliurch they go to hold convention Each deeply fraught with ill intention ; When, Ajax-like, Longshanks arose * * * *
And thus addressed the grumbling crew
* * * *
" New Boston's sons, How long shall we Be [ pestered ] thus ? Zounds ! Don't you see We've got into a Devilish box As every soul will have the pox ? Beside yon stream a lonely dome Contains a patient all alone He's sick and easy overcome
(Landlord ! Some more New England rum !)
By George! My friends I'll not take rest Till I have spoilt that cursed nest ! If sloth and indolence prevail We'll fall as does the rattling hail. Let's rouse for safety to our town And burn or tear his building down.
This is my mind, if yours the same Tomorrow's sun shall see it flame." Thus he belched forth his rancor And brought his burden to an anchor. * * * * * The heads of the adjoining town,
Sent for [in haste] at length came down,
In hopes that they by candid means Could pacify those crazy brains. And, fond of peace, they now address The frantic, raving populace. First, Carleton, a judicious man And friend to order, thus began : " Reason, my friends, the helm of life, Is shattered by such gales of strife. Law, the guide to friends of State,
631
MISCELLANEOUS
Is trod upon by such debate. Now if both law and reason die, Humanity will also fly. Where then, my brothers, shall we be When we are stript of all the three ? From such destructions pray refrain And reassume your sense again." Putnam, mild, then forward goes, And soothing language sweetly flows :
"Why, my friends, such frantic fear? There's neither pox nor danger near.
Yon little cot by Towns's mill Contains it all and ever will, Till reason offers her direction To purge and cleanse of the infection. You're not exposed in any instance If you have wit to keep your distance." Then Houston, much to mobs opposed, Step'd forth, and thus the scene he closed.
"And do you think the God above Will such a discord here approve ? If such the strife, the rage of all, Religion [will] a victim fall. More lawful means you ought to try, And use some more humanity.
Mortals abhor and justly mourn
The soul by such destruction borne.
Let each an equal friendship bear And sympathize in his despair." These words their anger soon suppressed And slew the viper in their breast. Now rage is fled, and in its place
There's guilty shame in every face. Each hangs his head and sneaks away, Like Towser from his stolen prey.
Thus the scene is closed with shame.
Let every such turn out the same. INCOGNITO.
THE SMALLPOX SCARE OF 1853. BY REV. D. DONOVAN.
In 1853, the smallpox visited Lyndeborough and great con- sternation was felt lest the disease should spread. Dr. Samuel G. Dearborn, then of Milford, was called to attend the patients. Being so far away, he requested Dr. Lorenzo D. Bartlett, his brother-in-law, recently settled in New Boston, to take charge, which he accordingly did. The cases are said to have been limited to two families, those of Mr. Oliver Bixby and Mr. Nathaniel Jones. Mrs. Jones was one of the patients
632
HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
which Dr. Bartlett treated. All the patients recovered but the doctor himself contracted the disease. He was taken to the home of Mr. Jones, and there tenderly treated and carefully nursed. Mr. Robert Brown, the father of our fellow-citizen, Leonard Brown, who was immune, having had the disease, re- mained with him constantly to care for him. He, however, succumbed to the malady, dying in early manhood, and giving. his life as many believe in devotion to both his patients and his chosen profession.
The presence of the scourge created great alarm among the town's people, and they feared to have the body buried in the public cemetery. As seemed best in concession to this fear, Dr. Dearborn bought a little plot for its burial, and it was laid away to its solitary rest, a few rods from the road which leads over the mountain towards Francestown.
Lorenzo D. Bartlett, M. D., was a native of Northfield, N. H. His parents were poor. His father died during the boyhood of the son, and the care of the children devolved on the mother. The boy was a bright, intelligent lad, a good scholar, and he was befriended by an influential citizen in getting his education. He chose the practice of medicine as his calling, and prepared himself as best he could for it. He graduated with honor at Castleton Medical College, an institution of very high standing in Vermont ; afterwards studied and practiced with Dr. S. G. Dearborn of Mont Vernon, who gave him didactic lessons in surgery. He continued with Dr. Dearborn about two years, after which he settled in New Boston, having married the sister of his instructor who esteemed him as "a noble man." His career ended at the early age of 28, after he had given promise of great usefulness in his chosen profession ; and he was highly esteemed and deeply lamented. Dr. Henry E. Spalding of Boston, a native of Lyndeborough, recently said that "Dr. Bartlett's devotion to his patients and his profession merited a martyr's plaudit and reward."*
* When these cases of smallpox made their appearance in Lyndeborough, vaccine matter seemed scarce in these parts and when there was no railroad in operation through here, it required about three days to get it from Boston. People hastened to be vaccinated when there was no virus at haud. Inoculation was resorted to in some instances in Lyndeborough, and Dr. Dearborn is authority for the statement that with very slight exceptions, the results were good. The patients all recovered thoroughly, and suffered no permanent evil consequences.
The above facts were stated by Dr. Dearborn to the writer at Nashua, December 20, 1902.

SPOTTED FEVER.
The spotted fever, which had proved fatal in many of the New England towns, prevailed in Lyndeborough in 1812, with its accustomed virulence. It is stated that thirteen persons died as victims of it in as many days. A copy of the New Hamp- shire Patriot, of Concord, February 25, 1812, contains the fol- lowing notice :
"DIED. In Lyndeborough, of the Spotted Fever, a daughter of Mr. Edward Bullard, aged 10-two children of Mr. Asa Manning - a son of Mr. - Haggett - Mr. David Butterfield - Mr. Jacob Manning - two daughters of Capt. Clark - a son of Mr. Jacob Wellman."
Our town records state that "Mrs. Hannah Killam and Deborah Clark, both daughters of Capt. William and Sarah Clark, died February 19, 1812 ; " thus harmonizing with the above notice.
Out of fifty-eight deaths, in the town of Acworth, in less than three months in 1812, fifty-three were caused by this plague.
THE EXTENSION OF THE WILTON R. R. TO GREENFIELD. .
At a legal meeting of the town of Lyndeborough on Decem- ber 23, 1871, the following resolution was offered by Joel H. Tarbell :
RESOLUTION.
"To aid in the construction of the Extension of the Wilton Railroad to Greenfield, N. H.
Whereas, the construction of the said Railroad would be of great pub- lic benefit to this section of country, and would especially promote the interest and increase the wealth of this town,
And, whereas the town is authorized by law to aid in its construction as provided in sections 16 and 17 of Chapter 34 of the General Statutes ;
Therefore, Resolved by the citizens of the town of Lyndeborough in town meeting assembled, that the sum of Three Thousand Dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated in aid of the construction of the extension of the Wilton Railroad to Greenfield, N. H., which snm in money or in the bonds of the town securing the same, shall be delivered to the Treasurer of said Railroad Corporation whenever the said Rail- road is located and put under contract for the grading thereof, and the work of grading the same is commenced within the limits of this town, and notice thereof in writing, from the President of said Corporation shall have been received by the Selectmen of the town, provided said road is put in running order within two years from this date."
The Resolution passed by a vote of 100 in its favor, to 37 against it.
At a legal town meeting, October 9, 1873, it was voted, " To require the Peterborough Railroad Co. to bridge the road near
634
HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
Buttrick's mill." On December 6, 1873, the Railroad Commis- sioners reported the damages assessed against the Peterborough Railroad in the town of Lyndeborough. The awards were :
To Alvaro Buttrick $300 To Jotham Hildreth $40
To William N. Ryerson $100
To James Burton $35
To Lyndeborough Glass Co. $225
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.
635
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.
