TOWN OF LUNENBURGH.
Henry Howe, youngest son of Hon. Stephen and Harriet (Patterson) Howe, was born in Lunenburgh, March 17, 1835. After completing his school education he was clerk in his father's store, but being of a delicate physical organization he was unable to engage in business pursuits beyond their superintendence and oversight. He turned his attention to agriculture and was somewhat extensively engaged in it for some years. He assisted his father in his clerical duties, and succeeded him in the offices of town clerk and treasurer, retaining these positions until the time of his death, which occurred April 11, 1879.
Mr. Howe married, in 1866, Ellen A., daughter of Samuel and Gracia (Ladd) Howe. (Samuel Howe was a brother of Hon. Stephen, and was born May 19, 1803.) Mrs. Howe and her daughter Lida Jane reside in Lunenburgh. The engraving which accompanies this sketch is Mrs. Howe's tribute to the memory of her worthy husband's honored father, feeling that she is doing what the son would do, if he were living, to respect and preserve his father's name and face from oblivion.
Henry Howe inherited many of his father's qualities ; with his delicacy of physical organization was also a refined and sensitive temperament. He was keenly alive to the misfortunes of those in need, and with money and counsel assisted them often to his own loss. For instance, he would take the money of a poor man, give him his note bearing interest, and run the risk of investing it so as to make good the amount to him, and lost in this manner several hundred dollars. He could never refuse to aid the poor and suffering, and often exceeded just bounds of charity. Ever generous and kind-hearted, his memory lives in the hearts of those who knew the worth of his noble, unostentatious nature. His life was full of good deeds. Proud of his native town, he was always public spirited. The village park is indebted to him for the fence surrounding it. A genial and worthy friend, a kind neighbor, husband, and father, he made the world better for having lived in it. There could be no better epitaph.
Charles W. Stuart, son of Nathan and Mary (Goodell) Stuart, was born in this town in 1838, married, first, Mariette Hartshorn, in 1863, who bore him one daughter, Cora M., and died in 1864, and for his second wife he married Zeruah, daughter of James and Ida (Manning) Thomas, in 1866, and has had born to him two sons and three daughters, viz .: Jessie Saba, Ida May, Irving W., Bertha Amy and Homer Royce. Mr. Stuart occupies the home- stead on road 9.
John W. Silsby came to Lunenburgh, from Charlestown, No. 4, in 1799, had born to him four sons and four daughters, of whom three sons are living, viz .: Harvey, who lives at West Burke, Benjamin and Joshua, The last mentioned was born in 1823, married Josephine, daughter of Joseph Brittling, of Mobile, Ala., in 1850, who has borne him five sons and three daughters, viz .: Mary (Mrs. Howard Coburn), Clara, George C., Walter S., John H., James H., Herbert T. and Charlotte C. Mr. Silsby is extensively engaged in the manu-

facture of lumber, has a steam-mill on Neal's brook, at the outlet of Neal's pond, is also a dealer in general merchandise, and resides at the hamlet called Jock's Mills. Benjamin was born in 1813, married Harriet, daughter of Asahel and Sarah (Bragg) Perry, in 1835, and resides on Baptist hill.
Dr. Hiram A. Cutting, whose portrait appears in this volume, is a native of Concord, Vt., where he was born in 1832. His father, Stephen C. Cutting, son of Oliver Cutting, one of the first settlers of the town, married Eliza R. Darling, daughter of John M. Darling, also one of the early settlers of this town, and the subject of this sketch was their oldest child. On the side of his mother he is great-great-grandson of General James Reed, of Bunker Hill, and Bennington fame, and on his father's side a descendant of Colonel Jonas Cutting, of Massachusetts. Dr. Cutting was educated in the district schools, Essex county grammar school and St. Johnsbury academy. At sixteen he became a teacher himself, beginning with a school of forty-five scholars, more than half of whom were older than their instructor. His school was called by the superintendent the bestin the county. After this, until he was of age, he taught from three to five months each year, also attending a select school, and serving as assistant at the academy at St. Johnsbury. In his earnest efforts to fit for college during this time, his health was almost destroyed, so he began life by leaving his father's farm, and in company with his uncle- entered the mercantile business at Lunenburgh, where he still resides. Dur- ing his minority, when he was not in school as scholar or teacher, he worked as land surveyor; as a carpenter, framing many buildings and bridges ; or as an experimentalist, making for himself both a telescope and a microscope, and conducted a number of experiments upon the growth of plants and the flow of sap, which were afterwards published. He was one of the first to demonstrate by experiment that but little nitrogen is required for the profit -- able growth of most farm crops. This was done long in advance of the Atwater experiments.
The mercantile partnership referred to continued for twenty-five years, when Dr. Cutting purchased the whole business, which he still continues. In July, 1866, his store and buildings were destroyed by fire. The loss most mourned and least repairable was that of a scientific library of about 1,000 volumes, and a cabinet of more than 25,000 specimens. New buildings were immediately erected. Upon the top of the new store an observatory was placed and fitted up with a complete set of Smithsonian meteorological in- struments. Dr. Cutting has kept records of this character since he was six- teen. He has been a member of the Smithsonian corps of observers from the first, now under the direction of the war department.
While fitting for college Dr. Cutting had also read medicine. His taste for all scientific studies continuing after the college course was abandoned, he still kept up his interest in medical science, taking a special course in anatomy, under Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth. Microscopy particularly fascinated him, and he became highly proficient in this branch of anatomical investigation,

devising many new methods of mounting, injecting and preparing tissues, several of which are now in general use. He was invited to lecture on micro- scopy before the college classes, in 1870, and received the degree of doctor of medicine, also the honorary degrees of A. M. and Ph. D. He is professor of natural science in Norwich university, and lecturer on science at the Methodist seminary at Montpelier. Among his publications are works on " Forestry," "Milk," "Foretelling Storms," "Catalogue of Birds of Vermont," " Farm Experiments," etc.
His service as microscopist is in frequent request for medical and other purposes from all parts of the country. His microscopical investigations and measurements of wool-fiber are widely known. He has long been an ex- amining surgeon for the war department, as well as postmaster of Lunen- burgh since 1863, until December, 1886. In 1870 he was appointed curator of the state cabinet of natural history and geology, and has made vast im- provements and additions thereto at very slight cost to the state. The col- lection now largely exceeds the space allotted for its display. In the same year he was also appointed state geologist, and still holds that position, having given material aid to the marble interests, and made a series of important investigations upon the strength and climatic endurance of the building stones of the state, which justly placed them in the first rank.
One would suppose that Dr. Cutting had quite enough on his hands, with all that has been mentioned above, but at the earnest solicitation of many of the leading farmers of the state, in December, 1880, he was appointed a member, and chosen secretary of the state board of agriculture, in which position he has been a most active and useful officer.
His agricultural reports are of a high character, and are in demand far . beyond the limits of the authorized issue. This shows that there is no sup- port to the common sneer against "public documents," when issued from a competent source.
Besides his regular official duties, he is constantly experimenting upon his own land, in the use and application of fertilizers for various crops, and test- ing various operations in farm industry, entirely at his own expense, as the state makes no appropriation for such purposes. He resigned his position on the board of agriculture, November, 1886, in favor of Prof. Cook, of Bur- lington. He also owns and runs a provender mill, shingle-machine, tub factory, cider-mill, and several small machines and planers, that are of great advantage to the townspeople.
As fish commission he has, with his colleague, Hon. H. Brainerd, enforced the fish laws as never before, and planted hundreds of thousands of trout and other valuable fish in Vermont waters. His merit as a scientific man does not go without recognition, as he has been elected to eighty-three scien- tific and medical societies in different sections of the globe, and many of those elections have been honorary in recognition of scientific observation and investigation. At his home is a library of more than 15,000 volumes,

and in connection, as the cut shows, a cabinet, in which a very fine collection of minerals, and also of Vermont birds, all of which number some 25,000 specimens. He has also a first-class microscope and a telescope, made by Alvin Clark, of Cambridge, Mass., mounted in the observatory, shown in cut.

His cares and duties are numerous, but he meets all with business exact- ness, and seldom seems to be hurried. He married Maranda E. Haskell, of Lennoxville, C. E., February 3, 1856.

TOWN OF MAIDSTONE.
M AIDSTONE lies in the eastern part of the county, in lat. 44° 30' and long. 5° 19', and is bounded northeast by Brunswick, east by the Connecticut river, southwest by Guildhall and Granby, and west by Ferdinand. It was chartered by Governor Wentworth, of New Hamp- shire, October 12, 1761.
The interval lands along the Connecticut river are among the best, and probably no town in the state has more valuable bottom lands than Maid- stone. The uplands are mountainous and rocky, and not well adapted to purposes of cultivation. The town is well watered. West pond, in the north- west corner, and Maidstone lake, a beautiful sheet of water in the western part, three miles in length and one in' width, afford an ample supply for mill- ing purposes. Being well stocked with fish, these bodies of water are des- tined to become a favorite resort for pleasure seekers.
In 1880 Maidstone had a population of 286. In 1886 the town had four school districts and four common schools, employing one male and eight female teachers, who received an average weekly salary, including board, of $3.13 and $6.23, respectively. There were sixty scholars attending school. The entire income for school purposes was $522.56, while the whole amount expended was $534 76, with Jennie K. Stanley, superintendent.
Maidstone has no village, no postoffice, no store, tavern, lawyer, minister nor doctor. It depends upon its neighboring towns for all these facilities. It is simply a quiet, peaceable and healthful agricultural community.
Thomas G. Beattie's lumber-mill, on the outlet of Maidstone lake, does an extensive business.
