Joseph Town, son of Elisha and Nancy (Lawson) Town, was born in Mont- pelier, October 26, 1816. He resided with his father until he was twenty- one years old, then learned the trade of wheelwright, of his brother Daniel, and followed it as a business fifteen years. He then followed farming in East Montpelier and Montpelier until about 1868, when he moved from Mont- pelier to the farm in Worcester where he now resides. At the age of thirty- two years he married Mary Ann Cummings, of East Montpelier. Their union has been blessed with four children, viz .: Martha A., born March 9, 1851 ; Clara E., born July 10, 1853 ; Elisha L., born October 7, 1855, who died April 22, 1885 ; and Laura A., born February 24, 1863. Martha A. is the wife of J. P. Flint, of Middlesex. Clara E. is the wife of George E. Fenn. They reside on the farm with her father and Laura, who is unmarried. Mr. Town has been an industrious hard worker, and has earned for himself a high reputation for honesty, integrity, and fair dealing.
None of the settlers of Worcester, as far as can be ascertained, participated in the Revolutionary war, and none went from the town to the War of 1812 ; but several who served in it afterward settled in Worcester. Samuel Kelley, Samuel Andrews, Matthias Folsom, Joel H. Templeton, and Jasper Stoddard are known to have been of the number, and there may have been others.
In the war for the Union Worcester furnished eighty-six men, who went to the front and did service in the suppression of the Rebellion. Five were

killed in battle or died of wounds received in action, six died of diseases, two who were drafted paid commutation, and two deserted.
The First Congregational church of Worcester is located in Worcester vil- lage. It was organized February 29, 1824, by Rev. James Hobart, of Berlin, and consisted of twelve members at its organization. From this time Rev. Mr. Hobart and Rev. Chester Wright preached occasionally, as also did Rev. George Freeman, Rev. Mr. Stewart, Rev. Mr. Thompson, and Rev. Mr. Wheelock, until November 13, 1839, when their first pastor, Rev. John Fos- ter, was installed. They erected their first house of worship, of wood, in 1846, which they now occupy. It has a seating capacity for 200 persons, and is valued, with the grounds and all other church property, at $1,500. The church now has forty-eight members, and Rev. Philo H. Carpenter is their pastor. The Sunday-school has sixty members, and an average attendance . of thirty-two.
The Methodist Episcopal church .- The first Methodist Episcopal church society was organized in 1848, with the corporate name of " Methodist Epis- copal society," with a constitution and by-laws. Their first house of worship was erected, of wood, about one mile north of Worcester Corner. The or- ganizers of this society were A. M. Kelley, Orismon Hancock, Amos Rice, Leonard Hamblet, Daniel A. Frost, John Clark, David Hancock, Alexan- der Dingwall, Ist, Alexander Dingwall, 2d, Abel Whitney, Aaron Kemp, John Brigham, Milton Brown, David L. Frost, William Cooper, Ferris Leon- ard, and Dennis Child. The first preacher's name found on record is Rev. Harvey Gurnsey, who preached in 1846 and '47, before the formal organiza- tion of the society. . The first preacher after the organization was Rev. Sum- ner Tarbell. The present house of worship was erected of wood in the sum- mer of 1887, at Worcester Corner. The church has comfortable seats for 250 persons. The value of all church property, including buildings and grounds, is $3,500. The present membership is ninety six, and Rev. David C. Fletcher is their pastor. He is a native of Rochester, Vt., a graduate of Vermont Methodist Seminary, and in the third year on this charge. The Sunday-school was organized January 8, 1888, and has an average attend- ance of forty.
