Felchville school district was organized by Abel Gilson, Jr. and Rufus Forbush, Jr. selectmen, April 5, 1827, at the dwelling house of William Felch. William Felch was the first clerk and treasu- er, Joseph Fairbanks, moderator and collector, James C. Esty, William Wilkins and Roland Fletcher, prudential committee. The district by vote, adopted the name of Willshire and it bore that designation until 1844, when it became No. 10. On its or- ganization, it comprised the lands of Joseph Fairbanks, William Felch, James C. Esty, William Kile, Blackman Cook, Charles Dudley, Silas Bowen, David Young, Oliver Tarble, Daniel Isham, Ezekiel Davis and Roland Fletcher.
The first winter school was taught in 1827-28 by Miss Philetta Wentworth, in a room fitted up for that purpose in the hotel, then n process of erection. She had eight pupils, and $1.50 per week, und boarded round.
In the summer of 1828, a school house 24x20 was built, where 1. G. Coolidge's house now stands and Miss Wentworth taught the irst school in that house the next winter, having the same wages nd twenty pupils.

The school house now standing was built in 1847. William Felch, E. W. Watkins and Martin Pratt being the committee to superintend the construction.
Felchville has slowly increased in size and business importance, and it now bears the impress of thrift and care. Few villages ex- cel it in neatness. The manufacture of satinets was for a time carried on, and subsequently that of "shoddy " cassimeres and doeskins-" all wool"-in the modern commercial sense of that term-that is in fact all wool except what was cotton. The first attempts at manufacturing proved not to be very profitable and William Felch became so much mixed up in the business with Mr. - Tracy, that nearly twenty years were occupied by the Court of Chancery to bring order out of confusion and judicially determine that Mr. Tracy owed Esq. Felch nearly $3000.
The first factory building was a low straggling structure that dissolved in smoke in 185 -. This proved a stunning blow to the business interests of the village, as the inhabitants judged, and accordingly funds to the amount of nearly $2500 were raised by subscription and donated to a certain individual to induce him to re-build. Poor people contributed, and perhaps the " widow's mite " was cast in to swell the rich man's coffers, under the full belief that indirectly the donor would be benefitted. In 1859 a second building was erected and the hum and clatter of machinery again heard.
This edifice " went up " one Sunday evening in April, 1860,-a case of " spontaneous combustion." The property was well insured in sound and reliable insurance companies and the " loss " prompt- ly settled.
Again the citizens of the village, young, old, married and wid- owed, contributed to the fund of nearly $1500, to induce the re- building of the factory. The insurance money and the donations reared a " two-set " structure and there was a hum and stir again in Felchville. The proprietor obtained a contract in 1861 to sup- ply the cloth for the uniforms for the 2d and 3d Regts. of Vt. Vols.,-those regiments, as it will be remembered, being first uni- formed in gray. This gray cloth, being in part cotton, when wet had an unfortunate habit of shrinking, and did shrink until the protruding hands and feet of the Vermont soldiers in Virginia, the next fall and winter, and the coats short in the waist, narrow in the back and scantily meeting in front, rendered the Green Mountain Boys veritable " Brother Jonathans " in their personal appearance, and their insufficient protection from the inclemency of a Virginia winter sent many a gallant boy to the hospital and to a premature grave.
The manufactory of this cloth at Felchville was even run on Sunday to make this cloth, under the contract with the Governor. Its use was soon abandoned and the army blue substituted.
This third factory building also dissolved in smoke in 1868,-an- other case of "spontaneous combustion," being well insured. Its

destruction did not ruin its owners. These two amounts contribut- ed by the citizens for the building up of the manufacturing inter- ests of the place, have not been, since 186- used in any way as the donors contemplated, but have been carried out of town and diverted to other purposes.
The manufacture of bedsteads has been carried on in the village by P. W. Stearns, Charles D. Brink, D. S. White, H. and M. A. Stowell, F. G. Rice, Clark Wardner and others.
The Felchvillh Chair Company occupy the site of the woolen factories.
The other business interests of the village are duly attended to, and comprise the usual variety of stores, shops, hotels, medical, clerical and legal practitioners.
The village at one time attained an unenviable notoriety as the rendezvous of the Larneds, in their day noted criminals and bank robbers. The older residents of the village will readily recall to mind these men, their associates and exploits. The Larneds rob- bed the bank at Charlestown, N. H., the Battenkill bank at Man- chester, Vt. and the Cooperstown bank at Cooperstown, New York. Abijah Larnerd was convicted of the robbery of the Cooperstown bank, sentenced to a term of imprisonment in Sing Sing prison, and died while serving out the term of his sentence. He was pre- viously arrested for being concerned in the robbery of the Batten- kill bank and after a preliminary hearing was committed to jail and duly indicted for that crime, but the proof of his complicity in the Cooperstown bank robbery being more complete, he was tried for the latter offense and convicted.
The horse and wagon that Larned had with him at the Man- chester robbery were traced to Felchville. The wagon was burned up the gulf west of the factory and the horse turned out into a pasture on the west side of Mt. Moses.
As showing how strangely facts come to the knowledge of de- tectives, a letter is subjoined that gave the clue to the Manchester Bank robbers and their confederates. Two letters were written at Felchville-one was an order for some property addressed to the manufacturer near Oxford, Mass., the other was the subjoined let- ter; by mistake the letters were put into the wrong envelope- the order for property sent to Abijah Larned, and the other sent to the Oxford manufacturer. The Oxford man was honest and gave the letter received by him to the public; the other letter was found in Abijah Larned's custody after his arrest.
Having both letters in his possession, Major Hawley, then Pres- ident of Battenkill Bank, and Elias G. Burton, the Attorney of ;he Bank came to Felchville on the 17th day of June, 1851, found he horse, and, also, found where Abijah Larned had let a man have $2000, in money soon after the robbery, taking a note run- ng to his cousin as was said, and found the man then residing at delchville who acknowledged that he wrote the subjoined letter and that it was intended for Abijah Larned,-the name of the 11

party addressed and the signature both being fictitious, and both intended as a blind.
The letter had no date, but has internal evidence that it was written subsequent to the robbery of the Bank at M. (Manchester) which robbery was perpetrated in the autumn of 1850 and the Cooperstown Bank robbery on the night of Dec. 30, 1850.
The following is a copy of said letter :
MR. DRESSER : When I returned I learned something that leads me to think I had better not leave here and go west at present, the western men have been here and also from M. and want very much to see the men that were through this vicinity last fall buy ing sheep. I think if I should go I should be looked after tod smart in my absence. Some gents called on my boy and wanted a fast horse; they saw two and wanted to know if I had not an other. I say I think all hands had better lay still at present. can tell you more as soon as I can see the man who swam the riv er. He is out west now, but for what purpose I know not. Hi wife says to take a farm. He leaves where he is now in the spring. You may think that I do not want to go west, but it i not so. If I can sell I had as soon go there as stay here. But when I can see you and tell you all, I know you will say I do as ought, but if you think otherwise when you get this I will go, le the consequences be what they may. I think I know all I cal learn there. When I go to your place again, I shall take thi night train to Clappville. When you write do not mail your let ter at your office. When I see you I will tell you more. I think you will understand by this you must be quiet at present.
Yours, S. M. WEEKS.
P. S. Send me some large paper. I shall not try to do the firs with this here. I shall go and see you as soon as I dare to, no until the last of next week, or the first of week after.
These are affairs of the past. Felchville has " lived down " th unpleasant notoriety and earned since a good and enviable reputa tion for the sobriety and morality of its inhabitants, and for thei general thrift, industry and intelligence. The Reading Librar Association have gathered a well selected miscellaneous library o over 400 volumes, and the influence of this Association has been of a highly beneficial character.
Geo. M. Clark and E. P. Hardy have contributed the larges sums of any two individuals towards making additions to the num ber of volumes ; and " Hank " White and O. S. Holden are en titled to commendation for their efforts in the same canse.

CHAPTER VIII.
MILITARY AFFAIRS AND REBELLION RECORD.
There were but few settlers in Reading prior to the close of the Revolutionary war. Yet the throes of that conflict were felt with- in its limits and at a town meeting holden on the fourth day of April 1782, the town " voted to hire a man to serve in the war eight months," and elected "Thomas Hapgood and Nedebiah Cady com- mittee to assist the selectmen in hiring the above man." It is not known what man went into the service under this call.
However, many of the soldiers discharged from the patriotic army became respected and valuable citizens of the town, and the following is thought to be a complete list of these venerable men :
Jeduthem Wyman, James Hall, William Rist, Cornelius Sawyer, Elijah Williams, Daniel Wetherbee, Timothy Fullam, Josiah Harris, Eben'r. Robinson, Nathan Hatch, James Robinson, Gideon Kirtland, Moses Chaplin, - Nutting, Searg't Abiah Rice, Geo. Clark, Capt. William A. Hawkins, Thomas Nichols, Abel Ans- den, Benj. Hathorn, Jeremiah Johnson, Amos Wetherbee, Oliver Davis, - - Darling, Lt. - White, Benj. Sawyer, Solomon Keyes.
1794. The payment of town bounties to soldiers seems not to be a modern invention for kindling patriotic zeal. Though the Revo- lution had resulted triumphantly for the American arms, and the independence of the United States acknowledged, the relations he- tween the two governments was far from amiable, and in 1794, a war between the United States and England was a probable event. Jay's treaty, however, solved the problem of difficulties. The people of Reading zealously espoused the national cause, and in a town meeting holden Aug. 4, 1794, voted that in case the state should not the town would make up the stated monthly pay of the soldiers called for from Reading to forty shillings per month, and to give " £1 10s. to each man as a bounty," and further " voted that the Serg't that is called for receive £2 8s. and music and Corp'l 22 4 -. "
1798. The troubles with France assumed a warlike aspect, an extra session of Congress was called and defensive measures adopted.
Hostilities at sea were commenced, and the good people of Reading in town meeting assembled April 16, 1798, " voted to " make up the soldier's wages eight dollars per month from the " time they march until they are dismissed. Voted to give to each " soldier four dollars of the above addition at the time they are " called upon to march."
A treaty of peace made with Napoleon Bonaparte who had overthrown the Directory and become First Consul of France. caused a cessation of hostilities, and the Reading soldiers remained at home.
1809. The exercise by the British of the " right of search " by an attack upon the American frigate, Chespeake, off the cape of

Virginia, by the British frigate, Leopard, and the forcible search of the vessel and seizure of four of her crew and their transfer to the Leopard, aroused the people of the United States, and the Presi- dent in preparation for war, called for one hundred thousand troops. The citizens of Reading responded with their usual ardor, and in town meeting, January 14, 1809, " Voted to augment the " wages of those twelve men who are called for, if called into ac- " tual service, to eight dollars per month with the sum drawn from " Government and to receive five dollars each of said wages as ad- " vance, if called for."
WAR OF 1812.
1812. The town refused to vote a bounty to volunteers or draft- ed men for the war of 1812.
At this time there were two militia companies in Reading-the west company commanded by Capt. Aaron Townsend and the east company commanded by Capt. Noah Cady. Fourteen sol- diers were required from Reading, to serve six months, and accord- ing to orders Capt. Townsend drafted from his company seven. The draft was made in 1812, at Buck's tavern, (where S. Coburn now resides ), and Elijah Chandler, Samuel Dudley, Robert Dun- lap, Josiah Gilson, Willard Holden, Joshua Sawyer and Silas Wetherbee were drafted. The draft from the east company was made at Brigham's tavern at the Centre, and the men drafted were Asa Belden, Rufus Forbush, John Grandey, Benjamin Grandey, Amos Lane, Kendall Boutwell, Abel Gilson. These men all served in Capt. Asa Briggs' company, in the 31st Regiment, commanded by Col. Daniel W. Dana, their term of service commencing in 1812, Sept. 9. They served at Plattsburg and on the Canadian frontier, at $5 per month. Other citizens of Reading served in the same war, among whom were David Burnham, Henry Giddings, Abial Persons, Elisha Sawyer, Samuel Johnson, John York Saw- yer, JJoseph Wood, Benjamin R. Nutting, John Haggett.
John York Sawyer was a recruiting officer and subsequently 1st lieutenant in Col. Dana's regiment.
Josiah Gilson was orderly sergeant in Capt. Briggs' company. Wm. Robinson served in' 1812, three months, in Captain Daniel Phelp's company, Col. Williams' regiment of militia, and was hon- orably discharged. He enlisted March 2, 1813, for five years, in Capt. Melvin's 1st Regimeut Light Artillery, Col. Towsan and served until his honorable discharge at Ft. Willicut, Newport, R. I., March 2, 1818. Silas A. Robinson, a blacksmith, and Calvin Robinson, the postmaster at Sonth Reading, are his sons.
WAR OF 1861.
The several quotas assigned to the town under the successive calls for soldiers to aid in the suppression of the Southern Rebel- lion, were all promptly filled by volunteers, except the order for the draft of 1863, under which there was no opportunity for volun-

teering. The town paid liberal bounties and in that respect was governed by generous and just principles, so that no soldier was ever obliged to institute a suit to collect his bomity from Reading. The town was victimized to some extent by erroneous accounts ren- dered for disbursements. to volunteers for bounties, the amount re- ported as paid having been much larger than the amount actually paid the soldiers. It will be remembered that at one time, after an exposure, a certain amount was disgorged and refunded to the town. The town, also, suffered by the enlistment of " bounty jumpers " at extravagant bounties, who on paper applied upon the quota but were of no advantage to the government ; the summary of their enlistment being, that enlistment papers were signed, re- ceipts for the bounty signed, (the broker and the recruit dividing on terms known to them) and the recruit deserted at the first op- portunity, and most generally before he reached the seat of war. or faced any danger greater than that of the explosion of the camp-kettle. For this class of men the town claims no merit. But in the military record of those citizens of the town, and of those not citizens, who honestly enlisted and served upon her quotas, the town feels an honest pride. There is given below a complete military history of each man who served during the war upon the quota of Reading. This record can not fail to prove of permanent interest to the soldiers and their friends.
The selectmen were recruiting officers, and through them, the soldiers were generally enlisted. Under the act of March 3, 1860, chapter 75, " for enrolling and calling out the national forces," Gil- bert A. Davis was the enrolling officer in Reading, and made the enrollment upon which the draft of 1863 was made. A list of the drafted men is subjoined, showing who entered service, furnished substitutes or paid commutation. The business of enlisting men was subsequently placed by the laws of the United States under the direction of a provost marshal for each congressional district, and the selectmen acted under the state laws in aid of the pro- vost marshal and to carry forward the patriotic purpose of filling the quotas of the town. The pressing calls for soldiers developed a class of men, termed "substitute brokers," with all the iniquities well known to have been connected with their operations.
About sixty enlisted men, volunteers for nine months' service, assembled at Felchville, under orders from Adjutant General Washburn, and were formed into Co. H of the 16th Vt. Vols. on the 18th day of September, 1862. The organization was effected in the basement of the Baptist Church, Brigadier General Jack- man presiding, and J. C. Sawyer elected captain, Eher D. Keyes, Ist Lieutenant, and John O. Sanborn, 2d Lieutenant. George (). Hawkins and W. W. Keyes were sergeants of this company, and Elmer D. Keyes became the captain on Dec. 31, 1862.
