His bonds were carefully cut. He was directed by a motion of the hand to rise and follow, which he cautiously did, to the river. The Indian whom he had formerly aided when starving turned to him and handed him his gun, powder-horn, ball-pouch, knife, and a bag of parched corn. and reminding him of his former kindness to him, said, 'I now pay you-go, go.' Whitcomb slipped into a canoe and cast it off, and pushed out into the river. The Indian gave him the farewell sa- lute by motion and turned back to camp. Whitcomb quickly pushed back to the shore and cut a hole in the bottom of each remaining canoe, pushed them off into the stream, resumed his own canoe, and crossed immediately to the shore, then cut a hole in his canoe and pushed it off and ran for life. About 4 o'clock he heard the Indians' distant whoop of alarm, and soon after the whoop of disappoint- ment and anger when they found all their canoes gone.
Whitcomb pushed on with all his energy, day and night, until safe, not stopping until he had reached Massachusetts, the home of his early childhood, where he remained during the war. In due time he received his major's commission and pay for the brave service he had rendered the cause of the colonies, and in his old age he received a major's pension. His good friend, the Indian, he never saw or heard of after their night parting on the island."
Mr. and Mrs. Darling had four children, Elmer A., Scott E., Louise A., and Lucius A.
Elmer A. was born in 1848, fitted at St. Johnsbury academy, under Professor Colby, and took a special
course in architecture at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology in 1870-'72; and after teaching a few terms entered the employ of his unele, Alfred B. Darling, then one of the proprietors of the famous Fifth Avenue hotel of New York city. In 1890 he was admitted to partnership in the house.
His heart always beats warmly for his native town and some twenty years ago he purchased the farm of the late Hon. Harley M. Hall, and thus began what is now " Mountain View Farm." In addition to the farm, Mr. Darling has many impor- tant interests in East Burke, the home of his boyhood. Chief among them are the electric light plant, giving to the village splendid street and home lighting, and modern grist, saw, and dressing mills. Ile was largely instrumental in the vil- lage having its fine concrete side- walks and sewerage system. For the past year he has devoted much time and attention to Woodmont cemetery (incorporated), and the improvements he instituted trans- formed it from the little old country burying ground to a beautiful ceme- tery, with excellent water system and an enlarged acreage.
One of his notable achievements in regard to Mountain View was the laying of pipes to the Passump- sie river, and giving his estate an inexhaustible supply of pure water. In fact, upon every hand may be seen the achievements of an able, generous, and yet modest, son of Burke.
Scott E. was born in 1851, fitted at Kimball Union academy, Meri- den, New Hampshire, and graduated from Dartmouth in 1876. He taught school two years, but owing

Louise A. was educated at Lasell seminary, Auburndale, Massachu- setts, and has always remained at home.
Lucius A. was born in 1857. He always resided in Burke, where for twenty years he has been superin-
daughter (deceased), and a son, Henry G., 2d.
HARRIS, CHARLES EDWIN, son of Charles A. and Euphamea (Blake) Harris, was born at Derby, August 28, 1852.

tendent of Mountain View Farm. He is a man highly esteemed by the citizens of Burke, both for his worth as a man and for the deep interest which he has ever manifested in anything that would beautify or benefit the town of his birth. In 1900 he represented Burke in the state legislature. In 1892 he mar- ried Miss Maggie McDonald, of Burke, and two beautiful children have blessed their union, Pearl E., a
er's store as a clerk and remained until 1893. when his father gave to him and his sister, Mary E., his stock, since which time the business has been conducted under the firm name of C. E. Harris & Co.
Mr. Harris married Emma D. Morse of St. Johnsbury. She died soon after, and he married, in 1878, Hattie Brockway of Burke. They have had two children, Perley S. and Charles W.

In 1902 the firm of C. E. Harris & Co. decided to keep abreast of the times, and so the old store was moved back and a magnificent new three-story building was erected, where the old building stood. It is one of the finest built and equipped business kon-es in northom Ver- mont.
Mr. Harris has long been re- garded a most popular, genial, and accommodating citizen, and enjoys a marked degree of popularity. He has long been considered a "jiner," and is affiliated with the Red Men. Odd Fellows, Masons, and Junior Order United American Mechanies. For the past eight years he has been state council treasurer of the latter body.
Mary E. Harris was born at Derby, September 22, 1859, and re- ceived her education in the schools of her native place, at East Burke, and graduated at the Lyndon insti- tute. She has always been identi- fied with the store, and in 1893 be- came an equal partner in the firm of C. E. Harris & Co.
WEBSTER, HERMAN D., son of Judson C. and Orvilla R. (Field) Webster, was born at Innenburg, November 24, 1869. Attended the public and high schools of St. 11- hans and Brigham academy at Ba- kersfield.
After completing his education he accepted a position as a clerk in a Bakersfield general store for a year, after which he went to West Enosburg and entered the employ of C. H. Bessey. At the end of a year's employment he entered the firm, re- maining one year, and then sold his interest to Mr. Bessey, and together with J. A. Gibson bought out the drug business of .1. 1. Rublee at
Enosburg Falls, the business being conducted under the firm name of Gibson & Webster. Two years later he sold out to C. L. Mason & Co., and together with A. J. Croft bought out the general store of G. V. Frasier at East Burke. A year later he purchased Mr. Croft's in- terest in the business and became sole proprietor. In 1897 he built the splendid building now occupied as store and residence.

and Celia (Eggleston) Frasier. He attended the public schools and worked on the home farm until twenty years of age, when he en- tered the employ of his uncle, Gil- man Frasier, who was then conduct- ing the general store where the post- office is now located at East Burke. Gilman Frasier soon sold his busi- ness to Croft & Webster, and the subject of our sketch remained a year, and then went to Chicago to work during the Columbian exposi- tion. Returning to Burke he again entered the employ of Mr. Webster, and remained for another year. In the fall of 1895 he bought an inter- est in Mr. Webster's general store and for three and a half years the business was conducted under the
firm name of Webster & Frasier. In December, 1898, a dissolution of partnership was agreed upon, and April, 1899, he opened his present store with a general stock. In 1898 he was appointed postmaster of East Burke, which position he still holds.
Mr. Frasier is a type of the hust- ling young business man, who is bound to succeed because he knows how to please.
FARMER, ALONZO C., son of Bradley and Lydia (Cushman) Far- mer, was born March 1, 1831. His paternal great-grandfather, Benja- min Farmer, was born in 1749, and was a sergeant-major in the War of the Revolution. He came to Burke in 1799, and settled at the "Hol-

Alonzo C. Farmer, when a mere boy of eighteen, went to Ohio, which at that time was the "Far West." Three years later, in 1852, he took the overland route to California in search of gold. IIe was 139 days on the plains. He later went to Saera- mento, and was present at the burn- ing of that city. On his return home he took the sea route and was cast away for forty-eight days, finally reaching Nicaragua, which he crossed to the Atlantic coast.
He soon settled at Island Pond, and married Martha, daughter of Rev. Lewis Jenkins (see Jenkins family, Kirby), who lived fifteen years. He afterwards married her sister, Susan, by whom he has had four children: Frank E., a physi- cian at Middlebury, who married May 20, 1903, Lulu Baldwin of Lyn- don; Martha A. (see Robert Simonds, St. Johnsbury); Fred A., who lives at home, and married June 4, 1903, Aimeé L. Hazen, and Ida A., who graduated from Johnson Normal school in 1898, and as a trained nurse from Mary Fletcher hospital in 1903.
During the Civil war he served as a sergeant in Company E, Fifteenth Vermont volunteers.
Alonzo C. Farmer resided at Island Pond for seventeen years, and then moved to Burke and bought his father-in-law's farm, now known as Belmont Stock farm, which contains
325 acres, and has 2,250 sugar trees. Ile is a progressive, energetic type of the thoroughly up-to-date Vermont farmer.
THE HUMPHREY FAMILY. Timothy Humphrey and his wife, Sabrina Cushing, had seven chil- dren. They lived many years at St. Johnsbury Center, where Mr. Hum- phrey had a small place and was a veterinary surgeon. He afterwards removed to Canada, where he died.
Joseph Humphrey, son of Tim- othy, was born in 1833, and lived at St. Johnsbury Center until ten years after his marriage. He was engaged in various occupations, being a briekmaker, and also carrying on his father's small place. In 1853 he married Marilla Burt of Lyndon. In 1863 they came to Burke and settled on the old Allen place east of the green. He carried on his farm and also had charge of the Lyndon Mill company's mill-vard at East Burke. He died in 1885, aged only fifty-two years. Mr. and Mrs. Hum- phrey had five children, Alvah, Bion, Emma, Herbert, and Albert.
Bion, second son of Joseph Hum- phrey, went to the white school- house and to select schools at Burke Hollow and East Burke. Both he and his sister were bright scholars, and made the most of their ad- vantages in the common school. In 1879 Mr. Humphrey married Celia, daughter of Jonathan and Emeline (Hosmer) Houghton. Before her marriage she was a well-known school teacher and always a bright, lovable woman. Her first children, twins, died at birth. Three daugh- ters are now living, Bertha (Mrs. George L. Eggleston), Mand, and C'arrie. Mrs. Humphrey died in De- cember, 1893.

Mr. Humphrey early learned the carpenter's trade, but in 1893 he gave up his trade and purchased the grist-mill at East Burke. He con- tinued in the flour and feed business until 1899, when he disposed of it to Elmer A. Darling, the present pro-

Jethro Sanborn, 2d, maternal grandfather of Asenath R. S. George, served as a soldier of the Revolution. February 22, 1776, he was paid for twenty-three days' ser-
vice. This service was in one of the companies of "minute men" that went to Winter Hill in December, 1775. He again saw service during 1776 as a private in Captain John Calfe's company. Colonel Bartlett's regiment. This enlistment must have been of short duration for Sep- tember 8, 1776, we find him in Cap- tain Ezra Currier's company, Colo- nel Abraham Drake's regiment, "to reinforce the Continental army near Stillwater."

CALEDONIA COUNTY.
In 1818 AAsenath R. S. George went to live with a sister at Sand- wich, New Hampshire, and while there met, and on March 20, 1827. married Asa Crosby Ethridge. For some years they continned to live at Sandwich. Six children blessed their nnion, two of whom were born at Sandwich, Mary J., who married Giles E. Humphrey, and Hiram L. They moved from Sandwich in 1833 to Sutton, Vermont. Here two more children were born: Susan E., who married Benjamin F. Sanborn of Brighton, Massachusetts, and Ellen A. (see Milo Jenkins, Kirby). In 1840 Captain Ethridge located in Burke. Ilere the last two children were born: Sarah L., who married Ezra Powers of Burke, and Luella R., who married Frank Pinney of Brighton, Vermont.
While a resident of Sandwich, Asa C. Ethridge was a leading and public-spirited citizen, and took a deep interest in all public matters. In 1831 he was commissioned a lieu- tenant of infantry, and August 14, 1832, Governor Samuel Dinsmore commissioned him "captain of the Seventh company of infantry in the Nineteenth regiment."
When Captain Ethridge located in Sutton he settled on a farm on "South Ridge," so-called. He served his town in various offices and was a man of sound judgment, firmness. and absolute integrity.
In 1840 he purchased a farm at Burke Hollow, and later acquired the old grist-mill (now used as the Burke creamery). In 1822 Mrs. Ethridge died, and Captain Ethridge sold his property and went to reside with his daughter, Luella R., at Brighton, where he departed this life December 16, 1876. For thirty-
five years he was a devoted member of the Methodist church.
CARR, ARNOLD E., is a native of Waterford, where his people were early settlers. David Carr, the well-known Methodist who preached in Waterford eighty years ago, was great-uncle of Arnold Carr. Mr. Carr's youth was spent in Waterford and East Concord. When the war broke out he enlisted in the First N. H. Volunteer cavalry, Third bat- talion, N. E. cavalry, at Manchester, N. H. His father, three brothers and a brother-in-law were also in the army. The First N. H. went first to Washington, then to Virginia, and served in the Army of the Poto- mae three years. Mr. Carr was in eight important engagements, in- eluding Fredericksburg, Gettysburg. and Front Royal. He was wounded at Front Royal. Upon his dis- charge he returned to St. Johnsbury and went into the scale shops. He married Mary J. Barker, danghter of Captain Barker of St. Johnsbury, by whom he had six children. The five now living are Frank B. and Ilenry F. Carr of Fitchburg, Mass .; Edwin W. and Robert Carr of Burke, and Mrs. Sarah Darling of Lowell, Mass. Mr. Carr af- terwards removed to Newark where his wife died in 1880. In 1882 he married Mrs. Annette (Burrington) IIall and has since resided in Burke Ilollow.
Annette E., only child of Fer- nando Cortez Burrington, was born in the old Burrington home at the IIollow, February 24, 1839. The family descent runs thus: Eben- ezer Burrington came to Burke about 1802. He had eight chil- dren, Sally, Esther, Elihn, Polly, Ammi, Chauncey, Joseph, and Asa-

ARNOLD E. CARR.
Asahel were also in company farm- ing. Joseph lived with his parents in one of the first frame houses in town, and when Asahel married, a large new house was built for him adjoining the old one. The old house was torn down several years ago, and Asahel Burrington's house is now the home of Tyler Gaskill. Joseph had only one child, Fernando Cortez Burrington. When a boy, Cortez carried the mail on horse- back from the Hollow to Sut- ton and to East Burke. 1Ie was a favorite with the girls who, when they heard his horn sounding over the hills, would run out and trim the colt, which accompanied his horse, with hollyhocks. The old colt was kept in the family for years
and Mrs. Carr remembers it well. In 1857 Joseph Burrington sold his interest in the farm to Asahel and with his son bought the Denison place on the hill just above the schoolhouse. Here he spent his last days.
Sarah E. Colburn came with her parents from Chesterfield, N. H., to

the farm near Newark, where Alza Hall now lives. She was a tailoress, having learned her trade in Ches- terfield. She went from house to house, as the custom then was, ply- ing her trade, and thus met Cortez Burrington, whom she married in 1837. Their only child, Annette E., has always lived at home. Annette E. Burrington married Harry H. Hall of Lyman, N. H., in 1860. He died ten years later and in 1880 Cor- tez Burrington also passed away. In 1882 Mrs. Hall married Arnold

Thus Mrs. Carr is one of the few lineal descendants of the first set- tlers left in Burke. She has seen her family, once numerous and in- fluential, dwindle away until at present none bearing the name are left in Burke.
DAVIS, DR. CHARLES B., son of Curtis and Minerva (March) Davis, was born in Townshend, Vermont, May 19, 1834.
Dr. Davis studied and practised allopathy in the south part of the

state, but later became convinced that homeopathy was the true sys- tem of medicine and took up its study under Dr. Hiram Hunter of Lowell, Massachusetts. He located in Barnet in 1859. Here he married Urana T. Harvey. The following year they removed to Sutton, where their five children were born. In
1814 he moved to West Burke as a more convenient location for his ever-increasing practice. He was a very successful physician and deeply loved by his large cirele of patrons and acquaintances. In later years he suffered much from ill health, but was patient and uncomplaining. He died August 13, 1897.
Dr. Davis believed in medical practice founded on experience, rather than on teaching of any rigid school or code. He pointed out the fact that Pasteur, the greatest con- tributor to medical science, worked out his experiments for himself, be- ing the graduate of no school, and also that both Holmes and Holland took their d'plomas from the walls of their studies.

MARSHALL, BENONI H., son of Jesse and C'alista A. (Martin) Mar- shall, was born at Burke, December 22, 1851, and educated in the com- mon schools of the town. His grandparents came from Ludlow, Vermont. to Guildhall, and from there to Burke. Jesse bought the farm where Benoni now lives about 1853 and remained on the same until his death in 1892. Benoni married Myrtie Jenkins, daughter of Willis and Sarah (Thomas) Jenkins, and a paternal great-granddaughter of Lemuel Jenkins, a soldier of the Revolution, December 25, 1876. Six children were born to them: Jesse A., born April 19. 1828, died May ?, 1900; Alice M., born July 17, 1881; C'arrie I., born February 26. 1883; Kathleen E., born May 1, 1891, died June 6, 1-91: Morris W., born May 2. 1893. died July 14. 1897, and Frank C., born August 31, 1895.
