Amos Wood Tewksbury was born in Weare, N. H., July 30, 1798. His ancestry emigrated to Amesbury, Mass., from England, previous to the Revo- lutionary war. While it can hardly be said that he was born in extreme pov- erty, the early life of Mr. Tewksbury was one of struggle and privation. His parents removed from Weare to the adjoining town of New Boston when he was but two years of age. His schooling was very limited-even for those days. Three months in each of a few of the years of his boyhood he received instruction in reading, spelling, writing and arithmetic in a barn provided with rough benches, which was the only school-house in his immediate section. This mode of instruction, together with a firm purpose and an underlying principle of right, was the foundation of his life. May 13, 1823, he married Abigail Balch, who died October 26, 1826, her two children dying very young. He married, for his second wife, Annis Campbell, daughter of Robert Cochran, of New Boston. Mr. Tewksbury remained in New Boston until 1855, and during that time carried on mercantile business, together with the manufacture of fish, molasses and other kinds of barrels, many thousands of which he shipped to Boston every season.
The confidence in which Mr. Tewksbury was held by his townsmen is best
377
TOWN OF RANDOLPH.
shown by the fact that for twelve successive years he was elected town clerk, ten years town treasurer, sixteen years treasurer and collector of the Presby- terian society, finally positively refusing to serve longer, though strongly urged to continue. For fourteen years he was treasurer and collector of the New Boston Mutual Fire Insurance Company. During his residence in New Boston, besides carrying on his mercantile and cooperage business, he culti- vated considerable land in the town, and built several houses in the village. In the fall of 1854 he disposed of his business interests and a few months later purchased the store in West Randolph, standing upon the ground now occupied by the present store of A. W. Tewksbury & Sons, which was built some years ago. His two oldest sons immediately engaged in business in this place, with him, and have since continued under the firm of A. W. Tewks .. bury & Sons. /
In August, 1855, Mr. Tewksbury removed to West Randolph with his family, remaining the rest of his life. He never forgot the town of his youth and man- hood, and it was his constant delight to relate to friends incidents of his early life and struggles. His life in Vermont covered a period of twenty-eight years, almost to a day, and during all of that time, except when disabled by bodily infirmi- ties, he kept his hand at his work. As the business of the firm increased, and he saw that age was creeping upon him, he gradually let go the more bur- densome cares of life, but was never for a moment idle. He was a man of few words and of no display, loved everything that was good and hated everything that was wrong. He wanted right measure of his fellows, and insisted that they should receive the same from him, and was " a gentleman of the old school "-courteous and respectful to all. His heart was large, his gifts generous ; but he never proclaimed his good deeds. A large part of his gifts were voluntary, like that of the bell which bears the inscription of his name in the tower of the Congregational church.
As a business man Mr. Tewksbury was prompt, careful, straight-forward and reliable. As a citizen no man was held in higher esteem wherever he was known. He was most emphatically a self-made man. His private life was without a stain ; his character above reproach. He was very public spirited and always labored for the best interest of the town in which he lived. In social life he was of remarkably even temper, always obliging to every one and kind to the poor. The Town History of New Boston says of him: " He is noted for his liberality ; his strict integrity. The church, the Sunday-school, and everything good has in him a friend and supporter."
Mr. Tewksbury died at his home in West Randolph, August 16, 1883, leaving a widow and four children. In 1878 the aged couple celebrated their golden wedding. Mrs. Tewksbury passed away October 13, 1887. She was of the good old Scotch-Irish descent, was a woman of good capa- bilities, and her life was spent in the interests of those about her. The chil- dren of these parents were three sons and one daughter, all of whom are still living (1888), and all live in West Randolph. The daughter, Nettie E.,
378

occupies the family residence. Of the sons, A. B. and M. A. have both represented the town in the legislature. Henry W. graduated from Dart- mouth college in 1870, practiced law a few years in Manchester, N. H., and in 1883 appeared upon the lecture platform, meeting with great success in all portions of the country. February 5, 1887, he met with very serious and permanent injuries in the terrible railway disaster at " Hartford Bridge," on- the Central Vermont railroad.
Since the death of the elder Tewksbury the business has been carried on by the children in the old firm name of A. W. Tewksbury & Sons, and has. been largely increased. Besides being engaged in mercantile business, the firm carries on a large wood manufacturing business, having two mills at West. Randolph and one at Roxbury, and employing upwards of 100 men.
