North Chester .- The first post- office established in the town of Ches- ter was on North street, and Lucius Hubbard was the first postmaster. He was succeeded by Thomas Robinson, who was followed by Phineas O. Sargent. As early as 1825 the post-office was removed to the South village. In 1824 the village, which is situated near the center of the town, on the north side of the north branch of the Williams River, con- sisted of twenty dwelling houses, a Congregational church, two stores, two taverns, two cabinet shops, one tannery, and one oil and grist-mill.

HISTORY OF WINDSOR COUNTY.
The Green Mountain turnpike passed through the village in a westerly direction. At the present day there is one store, a cheese factory, a church, and about the same number of dwelling houses as in 1824. The present post-office was established in 1848, and Simeon Sherwin became postmaster ; he filled the position until 1856, when he was suc- ceeded by D. A. Sherwin ; then followed Henderson Blanchard, John L French, and George D. Barton. In 1879 the present incumbent, O. W. Fletcher, was appointed.
Early in the present century the first store was kept in this village and was located near the present common. A man named Callendar, who afterwards removed to Boston, was one of its first proprietors. The store was afterwards run by Harry Simmons, James Robinson, Phineas O. Sargent, Nathan Fullerton, besides others. Among the last occupants of this store were D. A. Sherwin and Mason C. Richardson, under the firm name of Sherwin & Richardson, who began business in 1838. The junior partner disposed of his interest in 1853, and Hen- derson Blanchard became a partner under the style of Sherwin & Blanchard. By the death of the senior partner in' 1868 the firm was dissolved and the business carried on by the junior partner, but was finally sold to John L. French and W. E. Harvey. The latter sold his interest to the former, who disposed of it in 1875 to G. D. Barton. Mr. Barton removed to the present store, which he built in 1877, and two years afterwards sold out to O. W. Fletcher, who is now in business.
In the old store-room still standing, among the first to engage in busi- ness were David Johnson and Joshua C. Dana, and Charles and D. K. Barrett. About 1856 J. L. Johnson and George H. Hadley formed a co-partnership. Between this time and 1878 the former had a number of partners, among whom were Charles Bruce, C. T. Whitmore, George L. Baldwin, and Edward Gay.
The cheese factory was built in 1871 by R. P. Pollard, and in the same year the Chester Dairymen's Association was formed. The property was sold in 1881 to O. P. Dunn, who in 1883 sold it to M. H. Bemis. The Dairymen's Association continued to occupy this building till 1888, and the Chester Cheese Company was incorporated under State laws. The following are the officers of the company : Merrill Stevens, president ; F. W. Marsh, treasurer ; N. Fuller Bates, George C. Allen,

Merrill Stevens, Richard Chandler, and Charles O. Sargent, directors. The capacity is from 300 to 400 cows, and in 1889 97,000 pounds of cheese were made.
South Village .- From reliable authorities this village consisted in 1824 of about thirty-six dwellings. The houses were generally neat and some of them elegant, and were mostly built on the same street, which was about a half mile in length. There were two stores, two taverns, one church, one cotton factory, two woolen factories, two wheelwright shops, one chair-maker, two tanneries and one saddlery. The line of stages from Boston to Montreal were intersected at this village by a line from Hanover to Albany and Saratoga Springs. The new road from Chester to Manchester, Vt., was considered the best passage of the Green Mountains in the State south of the Onion River. This village, therefore, was on the great thoroughfare for travel from Maine and New Hampshire to Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa. At the present time there are about fifty dwellings, three churches and the usual number of business houses. There is no manufacturing carried on at this point. Near the center of the village is a park studded with maples, which also line both sides of the roadway. The village is situated in a pleasant valley on the north side of the middle branch of the Williams River. It is three-quarters of a mile south of the North village and a little south- east of the center of the town.
The post-office was removed from North to South street previous to 1824. Phineas O. Sargeant was the first postmaster at South street The following have filled the position since : Joel Gould, Addison Fitch, Isaac Rogers, Thomas T. Barrett, Abram Whitcomb, George L. Fletcher C. S. Taylor, George L. Fletcher (second time), Charles H. Rowe, Charles M. Maxfield, Lucinda Hadley, George L. Fletcher (third time). The present incumbent, Walter J. Hadley, was appointed in May, 1889.
Where the present tin and stove store is Isaac Allen and William Miller began business in 1851, the firm being Allen & Miller. The junior partner purchased the business in 1855, and two years afterwards George W. Hadley purchased an interest in the firm, the style being Miller & Hadley. This firm continued for a number of years, and the business was finally purchased by George W. Hadley.
About 1876 William Miller and his son, William, jr., opened another

store opposite the Congregational church, but finally bought the old stand. The two Millers sold out to John Miller, who disposed of an interest to George F. Hadley, and the firm again became Miller & Had- ley. At this time lamps and glassware were added. The business was purchased entire by George F. Hadley in 1886, and has since been con- ducted by him.
The store now occupied by Adams & Parks was built by N. O. John- son, originally 40 x 40 feet in size. In 1870 Alpheus A. Adams became a member of the firm under the style of Adams & Johnson. The latter's interest was bought in 1873 by B. A. Parks, the firm name taking the present style. The senior member died in 1882, and was succeeded by his son, F. W. Adams. In the year 1887 the store was extended one hundred feet, and a large line of general merchandise has since been kept.
The store at the west end of the street was opened in 1849, by B. A. Cook, as a boot and shoe store, but was afterwards changed to general merchandise. In 1856 Alpheus Adams became a partner, the firm name being Cook & Adams. Mr. Cook's interest was purchased by N. O. Johnson, the style being changed to Adams & Johnson. B. A. Cook again resumed business in 1861, and sold to French & Harvey. In 1865 Alpheus Adams and George S. Robbins occupied the store, and in 1870 Mr. Robbins purchased Mr. Adams's interest and has since conducted the business.
G. L. Fletcher kept a book and stationery store between 1854 and 1864 in the village. Among the early merchants were D. H. Hilton and Isaac Rogers. The firm later became Isaac Rogers & Co., and was purchased in 1848 by D. B. Gray, who sold out in 1853 to C. H. Hilton & Co., who sold in 1861 to N. O. Johnson, and two years later the firm became Hilton & Johnson, but was subsequently dissolved.
Since 1867 Edward E Barney has been engaged in the marble busi ness here. Besides those thus mentioned A. D. Fletcher has been en gaged in the custom tailoring business since 1864. The clothing trade is carried on by James E. Pollard, the firm formerly having been John - son & Pollard. The trade was started by N. O. Johnson in 1868.
J. N. Moore and C. F. Hadley were eagaged in the sale of drugs for a number of years. The only store of this character now is that of

F. W. Pierce. Since 1863 Edmund B. Lee has kept a general store, and the following have been engaged in the jewelry trade: R. C. Cann, Charles H. Rowe, Charles H. Maxwell. The business in this line is now conducted by W. J. Hadley. H. B Booth has a harness shop, and Spen- cer Taylor is engaged in the boot and shoe trade. Since 1832 the man- ufacture and sale of furniture has been carried on by Charles Walker ; a large and convenient store has recently been built, and the business is now carried on by his son. The village has two millinery stores, and in the store-room towards the depot H. M. Guild is engaged in the grocery trade.
Sawyersville, or Factoryville, is a name given to a partially detached portion of the village. This in former days was quite a manufacturing point. A woolen mill was operated by T. R. & J. F. Sawyer, and lum- ber and chair-stock wore manufactured by Parmenter & Powers. The latter is still in operation by J. F. Powers.
Chester Depot .- In 1852 there was only one dwelling and the depot building where the present hamlet is located. It has now a hotel, four stores, blacksmith and harness shops, and about twenty-five dwellings. A post-office was opened here in 1873, and S. H. Leonard was postmas- ter. He was succeeded in 1877 by Charles Robbins, the present official. In 1852 David Gray and Coleman Sanders, under the firm name of Gray & Sanders, built the store south of the railroad track, and opened it with general merchandise. Mr. Sanders continued in business until 1872, and had associated with him as partners at various times Charles Heald, Horace Parmenter, and his son, Coleman H. Sanders. The latter pur- chased his father's interest in 1872 and has continued the business since.
In October, 1859, P. H. Robbins opened a hardware and grocery store on the site now occupied by him. For a short time George D. Barton was associated with him. In 1863 a partnership was formed by P. H. Robbins and F. W. Marsh, under the style of Robbins & Marsh, which continued until April, 1888, when Mr. Marsh retired. The busi- ness is now confined to hardware, the firm carrying one of the largest stocks in the State.
In 1866 Atherton & Hall opened a furniture store, which in the course of a year was purchased by George A. Hall, who continued to run it until 1888, when he sold out to George W. Sanders.
A general store was started just south of the depot in 1868 by Hilton

The Chester Steam-Power Company, whose plant is located at this point, was organized under the State laws April 11, 1881, with a capital of $7,000, of which amount $2,000 was subscribed by the town of Ches- ter. The present officers are: F. W. Marsh, president; Coleman H. Sanders, clerk; J. R. Richardson, Coleman H. Sanders, Ira H. Allen, F. W. Marsh, and M. F. Deming, directors. The plant was sub-let to Loring Atwood, who manufactured lumber and chair-stock. This busi- ness was carried on for about three years, when it was discontinued and the plant remained idle one year. In December, 1885, it was rented by Harrison J. Kendall and Stephen Houghton, and six months later the latter retired from the firm. Employment is given to fifteen hands, and chair-stock and lumber are produced.
Located on this plant is also the American Soapstone Finish Com- pany, incorporated under the laws of the State of Rhode Island in 1881 They began operations in Chester in February, 1887, and manufacture a patent finish for walls, material for blackboards, and mortar. From four to eight hands are employed, and the product for 1889 was 10,000 barrels of plain finish, 1,000 barrels of color finish, 1,000 barrels of mor- tar, and twenty- five tons of blackboard material. The officers of the company are residents of Providence, R. I., as follows : M. J Perry, president ; Virgil Fisher, treasurer; James Shaw, general manager. The Union Soapstone Company, which has operated a soapstone quarry situated about two miles and a half southeast of the village, has its work shops on the plant of the Chester Steam-Power Company. This company is incorporated under the laws of New Hampshire, and began operations in Chester in 1886, though the quarries they operate have been opened nearly twenty years. They manufacture laundry tubs, sinks, slabs, register frames, foot-warmers, griddles, stoves, water-tanks, etc. Employment is given to forty hands. The officers of the company are Charles H. Burns, president ; G. W. Cummings, treasurer.
