all his enterprises, the result has been due to his unaided effort, and he stands as a conspicuous example of a truly self-made man, and one who has ever preserved an irreproachable character for integrity and ability of a high order.
In his political affilations Mr. Cole is a Re- publican, and has creditably served in almost all of the local offices. He holds a very prominent position in the Masonic order, having been mas- ter of Webster Lodge for twelve years, high priest of the Burlington Chapter, R. A. M., for two years, grand master of the Council of Royal and Select Masons for two years, and eminent commander of Burlington Commandery No. 2, for three years. Socially he is connected with the Algonquin Club of Burlington, Vermont, and is a member of the Sons of the American Revo- lution, deriving his membership from his dis- tinguished Revolutionary ancestors.
October 25, 1855, Mr. Cole was united in marriage to Miss Laura Adeline Slater, born in Essex, Vermont, May 5, 1833, a daughter of Chester and Rhoda (Woodsworth) Slater. To them was born a daughter, Helen Adeline, June 9, 1859, now the wife of Dr. James D. Tanner, who are the parents of one child, Mary Cole Tanner, born May 8, 1889.
ALEXANDER THAYER ARKLEY. M. D.
Dr. Alexander Thayer Arkley, physician and surgeon of Essex Junction, Vermont, was born in the province of Quebec, Canada, August 30, 1850, a son of John Arkley, who was a native of Scotland, whence he emigrated about 1830, and took up his residence in Canada.
Dr. Alexander Thayer Arkley attended the public schools in his native town, and then, de- ciding to become a medical practitioner, he en- tered the medical department of the University of Michigan, from which he was graduated in 1871. Immediately after his graduation he com- menced the practice of his profession in Enos- burg, Vermont, and after remaining there for some time, engaged in a general practice, he re- moved first to Westfold, and then to Milton. and finally in 1889 he settled in Essex Junction, where he is now in the full enjoyment of an ex- tensive and lucrative patronage. The medical fraternity of Essex Junction has many repre-

sentatives, sol notte are more devoted to their profession of are more earnest in the discharge of their duties than Dr. Arkley, who has gained a creditable position and won gratifying results. In addition to his private practice, Dr. Arkley acts in the capacity of local surgeon for the Cen- tral Vermont Railroad Company, is consulting physician for the Mary Fletcher Hospital of Burlington, Vermont, and he also occupies the same position for the Fanny Allen Hospital. Dr. Arkley is actively associated with the Vermont Medical Society.
In his political relations Dr. Arkley is a firm adherent of the principles of the Republican party, and was chosen to represent the town of Westfold in the state legislature for the year 1882. He takes a keen interest in all matters that pertain to the political and social life of Essex Junction, Vermont. He is also prominent- ly identified with the Masonic order and the Knights of Pythias.
In 1875 Dr. Arkley was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Grow, daughter of R. B. Grow, of WVestfold, Vermont ; one child was born of this union, Hazel Arkley. Mrs. Arkley died in 1884, and in February, 1887, Dr. Arkley married Miss Jennie Dixon, daughter of Dr. L. J. Dixon, of Milton, Vermont; they had one son, Donald D. Arkley. After the death of Mrs. Arkley, which occurred in February, 1894, Dr. Arkley was joined in marriage to Miss Marion Ward Mosher, who was born in Milton, Vermont, reared in Providence, Rhode Island, a daughter of George Mosher. One son has been born of this mar- riage, Robert Gordon Arkley.
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS PUTNAM, JR.
Few men in New England can claim a more ancient or honorable lineage than Christopher Columbus Putnam, Jr., the foremost man of af- fairs in Putnamville, Vermont, and a represent- ative in the present generation of a family promi- nent during both the colonial and Revolutionary periods. Guarded by the range of the Chiltern Hills, which border the eastern part of the coun- ties of Bedford and Hartford, in old England, lies the Vale of Aylesbury, in which is situated the parish of Puttenham and the village of Aston Abbotts, the ancestral home of the Putnams.
The manor house stands within its park on one side of the green, and at the further end, on the left, is the ancient church. Near by is Mentmore, the seat of Lord Roseberry, and the extensive estates of the Rothschilds. Northeast, about ten miles, lies the ancient town of 'Tring. This is the district familiar to John Putnam in his youth, for in the neighborhood have lived his ancestors for sixteen generations before him, and at Win- grove lived his parents and grandparents, and here he was baptized and married. His later home was at Burstone, a town further north, and from there he migrated to New England to seek a new home in the then unbroken wilderness of Massachusetts.
John Putnam, (I) of Aston Abbotts, county of Bucks, England, and of Salem, Massachusetts, was born about 1580, and died suddenly in Salem village, Massachusetts, December 30, 1662, aged about eighty years. He married, in Eng- land, Priscilla Gould, who was admitted to the church in Salem in 1641. His father, John Put- nam Sr., was a resident in Aston Abbotts, Eng- land as late as 1627, but just when he came to New England is not known, but family tradition is responsible for the date 1634, and we know that the tradition has been in the family for over one hundred and fifty years. If John Putnam came in 1634 he must have witnessed the excitement over Mrs. Ann Hutchinson (1634-8), the banish- ment of Roger Williams from Salem and the colony (1635), and very likely taken part in the attempt to put the colony in a state of defense against Charles II and Wentworth, who were ruling England without the aid of a parliament (1635). In 1636-7 occurred the terrible Pequot war, and although we find no mention of his name in connection with this war, yet it is probable that he took part in it with all the other men in the colony, who were capable of bearing arms.
John Putnam was a farmer and exceedingly well-off for those days. He wrote a fair hand, as deeds of record show. In these deeds he styles himself "Yoeman" once, in 1655 "husbandman." It is probable that he suffered a shock of paralysis, for his grandson Edward wrote (1733) that, "He ate his supper, went to prayers witn his family, and died before he went to sleep." He was ad- mitted to the church in 1647, six years later than his wife, and was also freeman the same year.

THE STATE OF VERMONT.
Lieutenant Thomas Putnam, (2) eldest son of John and Priscilla (Gould) Putnam, was born at Aston Abbotts, county Bucks, England, March 7, 1614-5, and died at Salem village, Massachus- etts, May 5, 1686. He married, first, at Lynn, Massachusetts, August 17, 1643, Ann, daughter of Edward and Prudence (Stockton) Holyoke. The Holyoke family was one of the most promi- nent and aristocratic families in the colony. Mrs. Putnam died September 1, 1665. Lieutenant Thomas Putnam married, second, at Salem, Sep- tember 14, 1666, Mary Veren, widow of Nathaniel Veren, a rich merchant formerly of Salem. Mrs. Putnam (second) died March 16, 1694. In 1684 Mrs. Putnam, in the appointment of seats in the meeting house at the village, was seated in the first or principal pew reserved for women. Thomas Putnam, Sr., was an inhabitant of Lynn in 1640, freeman in 1642 ; one of the seven select- men of Lynn in 1643, and was admitted to the church in Salem, April 3, 1643. In 1645 the general court passed the following order: "Mr. Thomas Putnam is appointed by the courts to end smale causes for ye towne of Lynne for ye yeare ensuing June 18, 1645." He was "Chosen for .Gran Juryman" in Salem in 1648, and was chosen constable for Salem in place of Mr. William Browne, October 10, 1655. The office of consta- ble at that time carried great authority, and covered the entire local administration of affairs. He was also the first parish clerk at Salem vil- lage, and was prominent in local as well as town -affairs. October 8, 1662, he was appointed by the general court as lieutenant in the troop of horse. He was also the largest tax payer in Salem in 1682. Two of Massachusetts' most honored citi- zens are direct descendants of Mrs. (Veren) Putnam, viz: Robert C. Winthrop and Hon. William C. Endicott. The homestead of Lieu- tenant Thomas Putnam is still standing, a little cast of Hawthorne's Hill, in the northern part of Danvers.
Sergeant Thomas Putnam, (3) son of Thomas and Ann (Holyoke) Putnam, was born in Salem, January 12, 1652, and died in Salem, May 24, . 1699. He married Ann, youngest daughter of George and Elizabeth Carr, of Salisbury, born there June 15, 1661, died in Salem village, June 8, 1699. Sergeant Thomas Putnam received a liberal education, but, like many others whom we
should call more enlightened, took a prominent part in the witchcraft delusion of 1692, being only second to Parris in the fury with which he seemed to ferret out the victims of his young daughter's insane desire for notoriety. His wife also took an active part in these proceedings. She was the sis- ter of Mary Carr, wife of Mr. James Bayley, whose ministry at the village was the cause of so much dissension, and which indirectly added to the bitterness of the witchcraft persecutions. Ser- geant Putnam was of a decisive and obstinate nature. He had great influence in the village, and did not hesitate to use it. He had been in the Narragansett fight, belonged to the company of troopers, and was parish clerk. Many of the records of the withcraft proceedings are in his hand. He wrote a fine, clear and beautiful hand. It was in the house of Sergeant Thomas Putnam and the Rev. Mr. Parris that the "bewitched" children first met. to accomplish their pranks. In the "circle" were the daughter of Sergeant Thomas Putnam, Ann, born October 18, 1679, and a maid servant of Mrs. Putnam, Mary Lewis. Sergeant Thomas Putnam and probably his wife were firm believers in the whole matter, but, like many others, showed a lamentable lack of common sense. The strain was too much for him, and he died soon after the trial; his wife lived only a few weeks longer.
Seth Putnam, (4) son of Sergeant Thomas and Ann (Carr) Putnam, was born in Salem vil- lage in May, 1695, and died in Charlestown, New Hampshire, November 30, 1775. He married, September 16, 1718, Ruth, daughter of John Whipple, and born in 1692, and died in Charles- town, New Hampshire, February 1, 1785. Seth Putnam was one of the earliest of the Danvers Putnams to go forth into the wilderness and make a home for himself and family. In 1719 he bought of Samuel Walker for two hundred pounds, a house lot and sixty acres of land in Billerica, Massachusetts. Here he lived until 1750, when he removed to Number Four, now Charlestown, New Hampshire. This frontier post had been fearfully exposed to Indian attacks, and but three of the original grantees had settled there. In 1746 Number Four had been aban- doned by the settlers, who tok up their abode in Groton, Lunenburg and Loeminster, Massashus- etts. In 1747 the place was again garrisoned,

and on June 21. 1751. a company of the settlers was organized with Phineas Stevens as caplain. On the rolls of this company are found the names of the of Sethe's son . Ebenezer and Seth, Ir. Ebenezer and Seth, Jr., were at Number Four m 1-17, when Debeline with his parts of three hun dred French and Indians attacked the post, and bought bravely in defense of the place. Seth. Ir . was killed by a small parts of the enemy. May 20. of the same year, while assisting to guard a party of women who had gone out to milk their cow's. In 1755. upon a petition of the inhabitants of Charlestown, fourteen in number, among whom were Seth and his son Ebenezer, Massachusetts again garrisoned the town. There had been ten Indian attacks between 1753 and 1755. and Now Hampshire had failed to afford the town any protection. Seth Putnam helped to form the first church at Charlestown and was one of the first ten members.
Ebenezer Putnam, (5) son of Seth and Ruth (Whipple) Putnam, was born in Billerica, New Hampshire, August 8, 1719, and died in Charles- town, New Hampshire, February 2, 1782. He married Mary Parker, born March 2, 1721, died January 12, 1807. Ebenezer Putnam was early at Number Four, or what is now Charlestown, being one of the grantees. He was there in 1745. and in 1746 was on Colonel Josiah Willard's roll of the company stationed at Fort Dummer, also in 1748 and several of the following years. He also served under Captain Phineas Stevens, dur- ing the years when the early settlers were in constant warfare with the wandering bands of French and Indians.
Fort Dummer was the first settlement in what is now Vermont, and was a post established by Massachusetts to protect her frontier, and when in 1745, New Hampshire, having previously ob- tained a grant of this country from the king, re- fused to garrison posts on the Connecticut river, Massachusetts sent troops to Fort Dummer under Captain Willard, and later a troop of rangers un- der Captain Stevens to Number Four. Shortly after Captain Stevens' arrival, that place repulsed a fierce Indian attack, and so bravely protected the fort that when the intelligence of the brave de- fense was received at Boston, Commodore Sir Charles Knowles was so highly gratified at the conduct of the defenders that he presented Cap-
tain Stevens with an elegant sword. Number Four was incorporated into a town in 1753, and was named by the incorporators as Charlestown, in honor of the Commodore. Nearly all the troopers engaged in defending these two forts were former settlers from Massachusetts. and prominent among them were the Putnams.
Ebenezer Putnam was first chosen deacon of the church at Charlestown and selectman in 1755 and 1756, also in 1761 and 1765.
Jacob Putnam, (6) son of Ebenezer and Mary (Parker) Putnam, was born in Charlestown, New Hampshire, March 16, 1771. In 1784, at the age of thirteen years, he came to Middlesex, Wash- ington county, Vermont, with his brother Seth. Seth was the third settler in the county, the first justice of the peace in the town, the first town clerk, the second selectman, the second represent- ative from the town of Middlesex, a senator, and a member of the constitutional convention in 1793. He served in the Revolutionary war, and was a lieutenant under Seth Warner.
Jacob Putnam settled, in 1802, on the North Branch, on the farm known as the Elijah Whit- ney place. He was the first settler in the western part of the town, and here, for more than forty years, he led the life of a farmer, at the same time following the carpenter's trade. Although it is probable that his educational opportunities had been limited, he possessed, naturally, a clear head, a strong mind and sound judgment. His neighbors testified to their appreciation of these qualities by frequently electing him to town of- fices, and he assisted in surveying the town. He married Polly Worth, born in 1763, daughter of Timothy Wroth, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She died in Middlesex, Vermont, May 29, 1844.
Christopher Columbus Putnam, Sr., (7) son of Jacob and Polly (Worth) Putnam, was born in Middlesex, Vermont, February 9, 1810. A common school education failed to satisfy the needs of his vigorous and active mind, and his his naturally fine abilities, aided by close appli- cation, made him a man of wide and varied infor- mation. The record of his life shows that he combined with this remarkable intellectual devel- opment business abilities of a high order In 1815 a saw mill had been built by Bradstreet Baldwin, of Londonderry, Vermont, at what is now the vil- lage of Putnamville, taking advantage of the fall

of thirty-three feet. The mill had a capacity for one hundred thousand feet of lumber per annum. This property was purchased by Mr. Putnam in 1845, and nine years later he caused the old mill to be torn down and a large double-gang mill erected on the opposite side of the river, together with a grist mill and machinery for dressing lum- ber. In 1862 this mill was destroyed by fire, but the calamity served only to bring out in stronger relief the energy of Mr. Putnam's character. That very year he built a new mill on the same site with a capacity for two million feet of dressed lumber per annum. In early life Mr. Putnam was a Whig, and in his later years a Republican, vot- ing, in 1840, to place General Harrison in the pres- idential chair, and in 1888 casting a ballot to raise his grandson to the same position. Mr. Putnam was in sympathy with the best thought and the most progressive measures of the day, being an admirer of the lofty genius and well-nigh incom- parable oratory of Webster, and of Sumner, scarcely the inferior of the former in intellectual gifts and certainly his equal in greatness of soul. Mr. Putnam warmly appreciated the fascinating eloquence and attractive qualities of Henry Clay, and regarded with love and veneration the char- acter of the martyred Lincoln. Although never an office-seeker, Mr. Putnam's neighbors paid him the high tribute of electing him to nearly every office in the town, and in 1864 he represent- ed his town in the state legislature. Mr. Put- nam's character was such as to command the re- spect and win the love of all who came within his influence, and his sterling worth and great abili- ties made him a leader in all the affairs of his community.
Mr. Putnam married January 14, 1836, Miss Eliza Stone, born in Washington, Vermont, Jan- uary 20, 1806, daughter of Eli and Eliza (Wil- liams) Stone. Their children were: Mary, born November 6, 1836, married, October 16, 1855, George M. Whitney, of Middlesex, Vermont : Christopher Columbus, Jr., born August 26, 1839 ; Harriet, born January 28, 1848: Sarah Adeline, born December 8. 1850, married, December 13, 1881, Harlan W. Kemp. Mrs. Putnam died in Middlesex (Putnamville, ) August 14, 1893, and Mr. Putnam passed away at the same place, Jan- uary 25, 1899.
Christopher C. Putnam, Jr., (8) son of
Christopher Columbus and Eliza (Stone) Put- nam, was born in Middlesex, Vermont, August 26, 1839. He received a liberal education, first attending the district schools of his native town, and afterward studying at the Washing- ton county grammar school at Montpelier, Vermont, and the Newbury Seminary. In August, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company I, Thirteenth Vermont Volunteers, took part in the battle of Gettysburg, and was promoted to the rank of sergeant of his com- pany. He was discharged in 1863, in consequence of the regiment being nine months' men. During the Fenian raid from Canada he enlisted in Com- pany B, in the Fourth Vermont Regiment, was made captain of his company, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel After Mr. Putnam's re- tirement from the army he entered upon a busi- ness career and was taken into partnership with his father, the name of the firm being changed to C. C. Putnam & Son. In 1871 the firm purchased the Templeton & Vailmill in Worcester, Vermont, in 1885 built a lage steam dressing mill at Put- namville, and in 1890 a steam mill in Elmore, in- creasing their output of lumber per annum to over six million feet. On the death of his father he succeeded to the business and to-day the output is the largest in central Vermont. In politics Mr. Putnam is a Republican and cast his first vote for Lincoln. His townsmen have given him re- peated proofs of their confidence, placing him in the office of selectman, calling upon him to rep- resent them in the state legislature in 1886, and making him state senator in 1898. He is a mem- ber of Aurora Lodge No. 22, F. and A. M., at Montpelier, Vermont.
Mr. Putnam was married in October. 1868. to Mary . E. Whitney, who died in October, 1871. September 22, 1874, he married Jennie E. Wright. born in Montpelier, Vermont, March 25. 1852. daughter of Medad and Mary Jane ( Melntyre) Wright. Their children are: Ralph Wright. born March 24, 1876, and Lula Wright, born on March 18, 1879, and graduated from Montpelier high school June 10, 1898. and from Quincy Man- sion school, Wollaston, Massachusetts, June 12. 1902. Mr. Putnam is the leading business man in the town of Middlesex, and is recognized throughout Washington county as an influential citizen.

THE STATE OF VERMONT.
Ralph: Wright Putnam, muth in direct de- scent from the emigrant ancestor, John Putnam, of Salem, Massachusetts, and son of Christopher Columbus, Jr. and Jennie E. ( Wright, ) Putnam, was born in Montpelier, Vermont, March 24, 1876, and moved to Middlesex ( Putnamville) when eight years of age. He was educated at the common schools and at the Montpelier High school, where he graduated in the class of 1895. He is interested with his father, Christopher C. Putman, in the manufacture of lumber, the pres- ent firm of C. C. Putman & Son being the oldest and largest lumber concern in central Vermont. Mr. Putman has been a member of the Middle- sex Republican town committee since 1898, and is at present postmaster at Putnamville, having been appointed by President Mckinley August 26, 1898. It will be seen that Mr. Putnam's record, even at so early an age, testifies to the fact that he is faithful to the traditions of his family in the active interest which he manifests in public affairs and in the welfare of the com- munity. It is equally evident that his townsmen appreciate his valuable qualities from the fact that he has already been elected a member of the Washington county Republican committee and a justice of the peace. Mr. Putnam is prominent in fraternal orders, being a member of the Ver- mont Society of Colonial Wars, the Vermont Fish and Game League, and the Apollo Club of Mont- pelier, Vermont.
CALVIN P. GILSON.
Calvin P. Gilson, a leading man of affairs of Windham county, Vermont, belongs to a family which has been well known and highly respected in New England for several generations. Samuel Gilson, great-grandfather of Calvin P. Gilson, was born in 1752, and settled in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, in 1791. He is said to have been the first blacksmith at Factory Village, where he made scythes and axes and used the first trip hammer of this section of New England. He was the maker of a sleigh which was owned by Cal- vin P. Gilson, his great-grandson, and was re- cently sold to the keeper of a livery stable at Northfield, Massachusetts, who used it in his trade with the Moody Seminary at that place. Whether this masterpiece, which must, ere this,
have attained the age of the famous "one horse shay," will testify to the perfection of its manu- facture by closing its existence in the same way, or whether it has already returned to its con- stituent elements, the record does not say. Cer- tain it is that the descendants of Samuel Gilson, as all who have ever known them can testify, have displayed the characteristics to be expected of the posterity of a man whose workmanship was of so enduring a quality, and who seemed to be able to impart something of his own personality to his handiwork. Samuel Gilson's wife's first name was Sarah, and he was the father of three children : Calvin; Mary, who married Azariah Walton in 1812; and Sarah, who married Thad- deus Davis. Mrs. Gilson died in 1817, her hus- band surviving until 1826, when he expired at the age of seventy-four.
CALVIN P. GILSON.
Calvin Gilson, son of Samuel and Sarah Gil- son, followed his father's trade of blacksmith, and was also captain of a company of horse troop of militia. He married, in 1810, Mehitable Partridge, daughter of Joseph Partridge. Their children were: Prescott W .; Louisa Ann. who

married in 1836, Nelson H. Chandler ; Luke H., born September 4, 1819; Sarah, who married John W. Burpee, now of Brattleboro, Vermont ; Joseph P., now judge of a New York city court, owner of a plantation in Georgia, and a summer residence in Saratoga, and who married Cina Meeks, of Bennington, Vermont. Calvin Gilson died in 1825, in the thirty-ninth year of his age, and his wife survived him many years, dying in IS57. Mr. Gilson was to the last of his life a resident of Chesterfield, New Hampshire.
Prescott W. Gilson, son of Calvin and Mehita- ble (Partridge) Gilson, was born December 31, 1812, in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, in which place, and also in Walpole, New Hampshire, he followed the ancestral trade of a blacksmith. He was prominent in the state militia, and in politics was a Jacksonian Democrat. He married Ada- line Whitney, who died in 1836, in the twentieth year of her age. He afterward married Urania M., daughter of Benoni Streeter, his second mar- riage taking place February 2, 1837. Their chil- dren were: Calvin P .; Adaline L., born January 16, 1841, married, October 3, 1858, John M. Farnum, and her second husband was George V. Shackleton ; she was the mother of two children ; Arthur, deceased ; and Annie F., residing in Bos- ton, Massachusetts. Prescott W. Gilson died in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, November 7, 1877.
