Across the street resided Judge and Mrs. Button. He was the leading lawyer in town. His office and law library was in a small building near the house. Beside attending court in Rutland, occa- sionally he took part in a trial before a justice of the peace, usually held in the public room of the tavern next door or in the town hall. "Judge" Ainsworth, a man who did some law business, although never having been admitted to the bar, usually was his opponent. There was no stenographer at these trials. The at-

torneys wrote out the testimony in long hand, which made the trials progress rather slowly. Spectators were always present.
Directly opposite our house and adjoining the home of Judge Button was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Harris. Mr. Har- ris came from Brattleboro to Wallingford in 1824 and engaged in mercantile business until his store, which stood on the home lot, was burned Dec. 25, 1851. His house, still standing and occu- pied at present by Mr. R. C. Taft, was built after the store burned. Mrs. Harris was a daughter of James Rustin who, in earlier days, had a hatter's shop near where the Gilbert Hart Library now stands. George Harris, a son, was for a time a druggist in Fair Haven, Vermont, and afterwards lived in Denver, Colorado. A grandson, Paul Harris, lived with his grandparents in Walling- ford from about four years of age until he went away to college. He became a lawyer and lived in Chicago. Later he founded Rotary and has done much to establish it all over the world, gaining fame thereby.
Paul Harris writes of his life in his grandfather's home in the following words: "However, to Paul, at least, there was one com- pensation, he fell heir to the love and devotion of self-sacrificing grandparents in a well regulated home, where the high ideals characteristic of New England's early days prevailed. There was never any foolishness talked in that home. Morning, noon, and night the conversation was of the better things. Religious and political liberty was the order of the day. Echoes of the words of Brooks, Phillips and Garrison were still heard. The philosophies of Emerson and Holmes, the nature studies of Thoreau, and the word pictures of Longfellow, Whittier and Bryant had served to soften the rigors of Puritan thought. Prosecutions for witchcraft had assumed their rightful position as the most stupid blunders in American history and the last scar of the Scarlet Letter had long since vanished.
"Grandfather was a man of few words. He had enjoyed lim-

ited educational advantages only, but valued education beyond all else. On hot summer afternoons, he frequently took his grand- son with him to the barn and seriously pronounced words from the ancient spelling book. Even though he revolted against it at times, Paul's subsconscious mind was deeply impressed and later in life he chose the vocation which to his grandfather had been an ideal, the practice of law. If there has been anything of merit in any achievement of his, it is all attributable to the training re- ceived in that New England home. Words are not sufficient to express his appreciation of the benefits he derived from the de- voted ministrations of those two good New England people."
Again Paul writes: "Grandfather and grandmother were very punctual in their habits. Their motto was 'Early to bed and early to rise.' "
The next neighbors on the east side of the street, in the large brick house, were Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Martindale. They had no children. Mr. Martindale, a quiet spoken man, was a merchant, whose general store stood on the southeast corner of Main and School Streets. For twenty years he was Town Treasurer, and Town Clerk for a long term, playing an important role in town affairs. Their house contained the finest furnishings of any in town, but, like most New England homes, the parlor with its choice furniture, draperies and pictures was tightly closed ex- cept on rare occasions. Mrs. Martindale was a daughter of Dr. John Fox and a sister of Dr. William C. and Dr. George H. Fox, the latter a physician in Rutland. In 1873 Mr. Martindale went with my father to California, a trip made chiefly for pleasure. That was not long after the Union Pacific Railway was completed. Mr. Martindale took great interest in the building of our house, making slight acquaintance with the carpenters. Occasionally, as he passed on his way to the store, he would leave an apple where one of the men would find it. This was typical, for his numerous kind acts were done unostentatiously.

The building of our house was followed the next year by ex- tensive changes at the south end of the village. The old Lyman Batcheller house, then owned by his son-in-law, John Scribner, was enlarged by an addition at the rear and adorned by piazzas on the front and north side. The house opposite, the home of the John Batchellers, was extensively altered by adding a tower and an elaborate roof structure with numerous dormer windows. The home of the Lyman Batchellers adjoining the John Batchellers on the north, was enlarged by adding a mansard roof. All of these changes were of particular concern to the wives who oc- cupied the houses. John Scribner accused my father of starting and therefore being responsible for these extensive alterations.
In 1879 the store that stood on the northwest corner of Main and Depot Streets burned. It had been made out of a dwelling house moved to the location and was occupied by my father and his brother-in-law John Scribner from 1856 to 1868 for a mer- cantile business; later by Arnold Hill and Son and, at the time of the fire, by Batcheller & Cobb. My father owned the building. After the fire he proceeded to erect a new building, designed for two stores on the ground floor and two living apartments on the second floor. The building stands today substantially unchanged. The first occupant of the stores was a firm consisting of B. E. Crapo, Calvin Townsend and George L. Batcheller. The building is shown facing page 313.
The removal of the Webster buildings, the construction of our house, alterations of houses at the south end of the village, building of the store block at Main and Depot Streets, and the destruction by fire in 1884 of the old tavern building, called the "Bee Hive," at the corner of Main and Church Street, greatly altered the appearance of the village. Perhaps no greater change, within so short a period, occurred at any other time. It was a mark of progress for the changes were all for the better.
An atlas of Rutland County was published in 1869. From this
[314 ]
WALLINGFORD IN THE 1870's
atlas I have had reproduced and included herein Plate V, a map of the village of Wallingford which shows all the houses and other buildings then existing, together with the names of the owners. The reader will find this map a convenient supplement to the text, particularly this chapter.
Mr. A. G. Stone came to Wallingford and assisted in the sur- vey from which the atlas was made. He afterwards married Miss Lucretia Kent and resided here for the remainder of his life. From 1877 to 1880 Mr. Stone edited and published a weekly newspaper entitled The Wallingford Standard which was de- voted largely to local affairs. It was printed in Bennington and Brandon. A monument to his memory in the form of a boulder bearing a bronze tablet has been erected in the park of thirty acres which was given by his wife to the town.
A man, long familiar on the streets of Wallingford and in public gatherings, passed away July 13, 1879. Deacon Post was born in Tinmouth, April 6, 1816. In early life he learned the tanning and currier trade of Col. Dyer Townsend. This business he conducted here for more than thirty years. He married Emily, daughter of David and Hannah Meachum, who died in 1870. He was survived by three children: Franklin, who built the factory at the north end of the village, Henry of Willington, Kansas, and Emma, wife of H. W. Piersons of Lacygue, Kansas.
It was about the end of the decade, the exact date I do not remember, when one evening my grandfather Clark invited me to drive with him to Rutland to see the new electric light. I was de- lighted to go. The exhibit was made in the Bates House which then occupied the corner of Merchants Row and Center Streets. A single arc light illuminated the lobby of the hotel brilliantly, al- though at times with some flickering and sputtering. The lamp was removed to the hotel balcony and people in the street meas- ured the illumination by trying to read newsprint. I noticed two covered wires that led from the lamp through a window down
[315 ]

into the court. I followed these wires and discovered that they ter- minated in the basement of the Tuttle building where they were attached to a machine that was being driven at a high rate of speed by a belt, and from one side of the machine brilliant sparks were emitted. It was all very mysterious to me for I had never seen a dynamo before and did not understand it, but I assumed that it created electricity that caused the light to burn. About five years later I constructed a small dynamo with which I lighted one room in our house, and made an arc lamp from which a beam of light was projected on the houses of the village. This period marked the beginning of a great scientific development. Both the telephone and the dynamo had their birth in the 1870's.
When I was, perhaps, twelve or fourteen years of age I had a hand-operated printing press, a few fonts of type and other small printing equipment with which I did some job work, such as printing letter-heads, time tickets, calling cards, etc., and thereby earned a little money. My printing outfit was established in one corner of the attic of our house.
I carefully read the advertisements of printing presses which appeared in the Youth's Companion and other magazines, and I usually made a written request for a catalogue, price-list, etc. Somewhere I saw an advertisement of Hoe Presses and, as was my habit, I wrote for a catalogue with lowest prices, not realiz- ing the character of the presses made by that firm. A few days later I happened to be at the tavern. The landlord said to me, "There was a man here from the Hoe Printing Press Company asking where Batcheller's printing office is. I said, I guess it is in his house." The man departed without an interview. I felt a little abashed that I had unintentionally caused the makers of the larg- est rotary newspaper presses to send a representative from New York to Wallingford.
The people of Wallingford village owe a debt of gratitude which the present generation does not realize, to Rev. H. H. San-

derson, who was minister of the Congregational Church from 1853 to 1862. He was instrumental in having many maple trees planted along the main street and in the school yard, that in later years have contributed more than anything else to the beauty of the village. Thus after his voice was no longer heard his in- fluence upon the lives of several generations has been real, though unconsciously felt. He helped to create an environment, the influence of which cannot be measured but is here recorded to his credit.
The beauty of the village has been enhanced by a few great elms, some of which have been planted but the greater number were probably self sown. Two large trees stood almost in the center of Main Street, one in front of Alexander Miller's house and the Congregational Church; the other a short distance farther north. These are shown in photographs reproduced herein. When roads were widened and straightened for motor traffic these landmarks had to be sacrificed. Another great elm still stands in front of the house now occupied by Mrs. C. N. Batcheller.
