Mr. Dodds is a member of Isle of Patmos Lodge, No. 17, F. & A. M. of South Hero.
CLARK, HON. WARREN, son of Ransom L. and Sarah A. (Hyde) Clark, was born in North Hero, Oc- tober 22, 1847.
Ransom L. Clark was an exten- sive farmer, a well-known and act- ive citizen, several years sheriff of the county, and died in 1902 at the age of 82. He was a man of giant frame and strong mind, a self-made man, and the impress of his virile personality was strongly marked upon his children. He reared a family of eight children who lived to maturity : Clinton, who was a member of the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, and died in the army; Mary Ann, who now lives on the old home- stead; Warren, Alice (deceased) ; Martha, Mrs. Charles Wiley of St. Albans; Charles, an exten- sive ranch owner and cattle dealer in North Dakota; Elroy N., general attorney of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad system, of Den- ver, Colorado, and Clayton, a com- mercial traveler of Boston.
Sarah Hyde Clark is living at North Hero, at the age of 87, still in full possession of her mental fac- ulties-a connecting link with the past generation.
Stephen Clark, grandfather of Warren, married a daughter of Jedediah Ladd, one of the earliest pioneers of North Hero and a nota- ble man of his time. Warren Clark attended the excellent com- mon and select schools of his native town and St. Albans Academy. At the age of 21 he went to Alton, Illi- nois, and there spent several years, and soon after his return married Josephine E., daughter of Joseph Evarts, a well-known and prosper- ous citizen of Georgia and a grand- son of Levi Allen, brother of Ethan Allen.
Warren Clark then bought the farm where he now resides, a splen- did grass and grain farm of 122 acres, lying on the east shore. The house was built more than a cen-

After farming there 14 years, he moved to Swanton and was there engaged in the boot and shoe busi-

ness some 10 years. While there his wife and two children died. His surviving son, Homer Jennison Clark, is now a sophomore in the University of Vermont.
In 1894, Mr. Clark married Ida M. Hogle, a teacher and a lady of rare mental and social endowments. During the past 10 years they have resided on the home farm.
His specialty is the breeding of fine thoroughbred Shropshire sheep and of colts of the most famous trotting lines. As a farmer he seeks and produces the best, at whatever cost.
Mr. Clark represented North Hero as a Republican, in 1882, and
has filled most of the town offices. He was elected associate judge of Grand Isle County in 1902.
Judge Clark is a thorough, hon- orable and energetic citizen, a mem- ber of the Methodist Church and of Isle of Patmos Lodge, F. & A. M. His grand old rooftree has been a harbor of hospitality for many a thankful guest.
DURHAM, JOHN W., son of William and Jane (Pallister) Dur- ham, was born in Lacolle, Quebec, October 24, 1856. He is of Eng- lish descent, from both the paternal and maternal lines. His boyhood and youth were spent in Canada and Alburg, and he came to North

He worked four years on the farm of James McBride, and in

GRAND ISLE COUNTY.
March, 1882, married his daughter, Mary. The young couple then lo- cated on the Amasa Hazen farm, a splendid homestead of 75 acres, on the east shore, two miles and one half north of the "carrying place."
James McBride was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, and came to this island as a young man with James Dodds. He was a thrifty, energetic farmer and amassed a handsome property, including three good farms. His family consisted of 10 children, two sons and eight daughters, of whom only three daughters are now living.
Mr. Durham proved an indus- trious, thrifty and successful farmer, and soon made great im- provements on the homestead. Some fourteen years ago he began setting out fruit trees and he now has 720 fine standard winter apple trees, a splendid growing orchard, all in bearing. In the spring of 1896 he erected his large barn and during the season of 1904 his ele- gant residence, one of the best farmhouses in the county. It is provided with modern improve- ments, a furnace, bath room, hot and cold water on both floors. It is fronted by majestic trees, by the beautiful lake and the distant out- lines of the Green Mountain peaks.
Mr. and Mrs. Durham have an interesting family of five children living. Herbert A. is a sophomore in the University of Vermont; Ella M. died at nine years of age; Edith E., Ernest J., Marion P., Arnold McBride are at home.
Mr. Durham conducts an excel- lent flock of 80 grade Shropshire sheep and raises colts. He is a use- ful and successful citizen, takes an active interest in the cause of edu- cation, and has served six years as a school director.
ALBURGH.
Population, Census of 1900, 1,476.
In the early days the French called the point of land upon which is located the town of Al- burgh, "Point Algonquin"; later it was called "Missisco Leg." It was next known as "Missisco Tongue," from its peculiar shape ; and still later it was known as "Caldwell's Upper Manor," but finally Alburgh, after Gen. Ira Al- len, it being abbreviated from Al- lensburgh.
The earliest civilized settlement of which we have any authentic ac- count was made by the French in 1731 at Windmill Point, in the west part of the town. This was under a charter from the French crown, issued to "Senator Fran- cois Foucault, councillor to the Supreme Council of Quebec." This was confirmed by another charter, bearing the date of April 3, 1733, ratified by His Majesty the King of France, April 6, 1734. The earlier settlement was of short duration. Another was com- menced in 1741, only ten years later, and was soon abandoned. Senator Foucault transferred his grant to General Frederick Handi- mand, who was governor of Can- ada from 1778 to 1784. Handi- mand subsequently conveyed the same to Henry Caldwell, Esq. This title subsequently descended to John Caldwell, his son, who sold it to Heman Allen of Highgate. About the year 1782, some emi- grants from St. Johns made a settlement within the present lim- its of the town. It was then known as "Caldwell's Upper Manor." The first male child born in town was William Sowles, in 1788. His grandson, William
A-31
466
SUCCESSFUL VERMONTERS.
A. Soule, is the present represent- ative of the town in the General Assembly.
February 23, 1781, the General Assembly of Vermont, sitting at Windsor, gave to Ira Allen and sixty-four others a charter of the town by the name Alburgh.
Previous to 1792, the settlers were destitute of all civil govern- ment. At this time, acting under orders from Governor Chittenden, the inhabitants organized and chose town officers.
About 1800, Ephraim Mott built a windmill for flouring on the west shore. It was a circular, stone building, and while only coarse grains were floured, it proved a great aid to the settlers.
In 1830 William L. Sowles, or Soules, and Hon. William H. Ly- man erected a sawmill in the west part of the town near the province line. Four years later this mill caught fire and was burned. Hon. William H. Lyman was a man of great worth and won distinction in the public service of both his town and county. (See William L. Mott, page 468.)
The quiet of the town was seri- ously disturbed by the proximity to the border in the Canadian Re- bellion of 1837-'38, an extended and highly interesting account of which may be found in Hemen- way's "Vermont Historical Gazet- teer," Vol. II, page 499.
In 1850 the town received rail- road advantages, being connected with the mainland by two bridges, each nearly a mile in length-one across Missisquoi Bay to the east, the other from Windmill Point to Rouse's Point.
Alburgh was first represented in the General Assembly, under the name of "Missisco Leg," in 1786,
by Thomas P. Lord. This was while Vermont was maintaining her independence, before being ad- mitted into the Union.
The first town officers were : Clerk, Thomas Reynolds; con- stable, William Sowles; selectmen, Samuel Mott, Jacob Coit, Richard Mott and Joshua Manning.
The first lawyer was S. Holton. in 1805. After him came True- man A. Barber, in about 1812, of whom old Lewis Brunson said, epitaphically :
"Here lies T. A. Barber beneath this stone;
He shaved the people to the bone; And when his body filled this grave, His soul went down to H-1 to shave. All Beelzebub's infernal crew, --- He shaved them all but one or two; Agast, these few were heard to say, 'For God's sake, Barber, keep away.'"
In 1869, William Brayton, the town clerk, made a list of the sons of Alburgh who took part in the great Civil War. This list is not entirely complete, yet it contains a hundred names of the patriotic sons of the town. It is to be re- gretted that no absolutely accurate list can be found.
SOULE, WILLIAM A., a son of William T. Soule, was born in Al- burgh, September 7, 1852. He re- ceived his education in Isle La Motte, South Hero High School and at Montpelier Seminary.
The Soule family is one of the oldest in America. George Soule, ancestor of the subject of this sketch, came in the Mayflower on her now famous trip to Plymouth in 1620.
Mr. Soule's grandfather, Will- iam, was the first white male child born in Alburgh.
After Mr. Soule completed his education, he gave his attention for a time to the study of the law,

but later determined to live close to nature and consequently en- gaged in agriculture. He has al- ways taken a lively interest in pub- lic affairs that would aid his town or county, and while not an office- seeker he has frequently been called to public places. He has served Alburgh as school director,
WILLIAM A. SOULE.
superintendent of schools, lister, justice and in 1906 was chosen to represent his town in the General Assembly. Here he was assigned to the committee on elections, which had much important legis- lation and many perplexing ques- tions to pass upon. Here Mr. Soule won high place as a working, conscientious legislator. Toward the close of the session, he won high rank by his masterly defence of the Soule seining bill. So clear, concise and forceable did Mr. Soule lay the merits of this meas- ure before the House of Repre-
sentatives that it passed easily over an adverse report by the committee on game and fisheries.
Mr. Soule was united in mar- riage to Ella A. Hall and three children have come to bless their union.
LADD, JED P., was born in Al- burgh, November 9, 1868. He re- ceived his early education in the public schools and later in the High School of St. Albans, Rock Point Institute and at Cornell Uni- versity Law School.
Mr. Ladd has served his town in the usual town offices, and has had the unusual distinction of repre- senting Alburgh in the General As- sembly two terms, 1902, and again in 1904. In 1902 he served with

ability and distinction as chairman of the committee on elections and a member of the judiciary commit- tee. In 1904 he served on the judi- ciary committee and on the special caucus committee. In all his leg- islative work he was regarded as a strong personality.

BASTIEN, REVEREND J. M. H. It was in January, 1871, that Bishop Rappe, animated with apos- tolic zeal, came to Alburgh and built a little church for the scat- tered Catholics of the town. He ministered with great success until the year 1877. He was succeeded by the Reverend Francis Yvenec, who cared for the parish until the close of the year 1881. The two follow- ing years the position was filled by Reverend Charles Prevost. Rever-
REV. J. M. H. BASTIEN.
end G. Geaudeau, resident priest of Clarenceville, Quebec, adminis- tered to the parish from 1884 to 1886. Reverend J. M. Karlidou was appointed regular pastor of Alburgh in 1886 and held the posi- tion until he died in 1898.
Reverend J. M. H. Bastien was then appointed by Bishop Michaud to succeed him, and entered this field May 19, 1899. Under his ef- ficient administration the parish has largely grown in numbers and interest. The church was exten-
sively repaired and an elegant rec- tory was erected, which commands a fine view of the lake.
Father Bastien was born 33 years ago in Montreal, Quebec. He received his early education in the parochial schools, made his classics at St. Theresa College, his philoso- phy at Montreal Seminary, and theology at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Maryland. He was or- dained October 2, 1896, in the cathedral of Burlington, by the Right Reverend J. S. Michaud, D. D. His first appointment was at Norton Mills, where he remained three years. He then came to Al- burgh and for the last seven years has been devoting his energies to the spiritual interests of Alburgh and Isle La Motte, the church at the latter place being also under his care. Father Bastien possesses that enthusiasm, geniality and per- sistence which achieves success and wins the esteem of the people.
MOTT, WILLIAM LYMAN, son of Sumner F. and Maria J. (Lyman) Mott, was born in Alburgh, March 23, 1855. He is the oldest local representative of one of the oldest and most prominent families in town. Three brothers, Samuel, Benjamin and Jacob, came here as early pioneers. Samuel Mott was a justice of the peace when the con- flict of authority with Canada was pending, and Joseph Mott was con- stable. Joseph M. Mott, John M. Mott and Thomas Mott represented the town of Alburgh from 1822 to 1828 and Sumner F. Mott was later a representative.
Hon. William H. Lyman, the maternal grandfather and name- sake of William L. Mott, built the first steam sawmill in 1830 and rep- resented both his town and county in the General Assembly, Richard
469
GRAND ISLE COUNTY.
Lyman, the first American ances- tor, came to this country in the Mayflower, or soon after, and died in Massachusetts in 1640.
William L. Mott's educational advantages were limited to the common schools of his native town. He was brought up on his father's farm, the only son, but being nat- urally ingenious learned the wheel- wright's trade. At the age of 22 he went to Kansas, where he re- mained two years, making a tour of inspection. He then returned to his native state, remained for a period of three years, and found a suitable helpmeet in Miss Helen Cronkrite of Clinton County, New York.
Mr. Mott spent two years in Bat- tle Creek, Michigan, where he was engaged as a carpenter and joiner. At the earnest solicitations of his mother and only sister, he returned
in 1889 to the old home and cared for them.
He erected a wheelwright and carriage-repair shop and installed a six horse-power engine for grind- ing grain, which soon proved inade- quate to his increasing patronage. In 1899 he installed a 30 horse- power gasoline engine, and a large business of custom grinding within a radius of 10 miles centers here. About forty thousand bushels have been ground in a single year, and Mott's mill and repair shop is an important industrial factor for the farmers.
Mr. Mott is a citizen of independ- ent and original opinions, a Repub- lican in politics, and for several years has officiated as trial justice of peace.
The only child of William L. and Helen Mott is Laura, who resides with her parents.
AUTHOR'S REMARKS.
N 1903, when I conceived the idea-and began to carry it into operation-of publishing a series of volumes to cover Ver- mont historically and biographically under the title of Suc- 95 CESSFUL VERMONTERS, to trace down through the long line of pioneers, patriots and soldiers, the lives, works and accomplishments of the sons of Vermont, many, better acquainted with the difficulties to be encountered than I, expressed grave doubts of the practicability of a work as exhaustive as my hopes and plans contemplated. Works of a somewhat similar nature had been undertaken and met with indifferent success or financial failure. My determination to include that great body of Vermonters-by birth or adoption-who are men of quality, honor, honesty, integrity and moral worth; men who have contributed materially to the development and progress of the state ; men who love our institutions, our traditions and our people, without regard to the amount of their material acquirements or the number of high political offices held, for I am convinced that the acquirement of vast wealth or high politicial office is not of necessity standards of true worth or great success; to include so many who had contrib- uted to the building of the several communities and whose lives and characters had always been an inspiration to those who happily came in contact with them, was an ambition that I have long cher- ished, believing that each had justly won a place in the hearts of our people.
Vermonters are a peculiar people. They have builded not upon sand but on the eternal hills a grand commonwealth. She has en- deared herself to her sons in a peculiar and lasting way. In this day we often hear a cry for "a newer, a greater Vermont." Vermont is ever new, ever great, for she has met and solved problems that few of her sister states have grappled with. The voice of "Freedom and Unity" may be heard here as nowhere else. From the day (July, 1777) when she led all the rest of the states and counties of this con- tinent in the abolishment of slavery, to the present time, there has been broadcast a distinctively Vermont spirit. There is a voice that calls, a voice that calls so that when once you have heard it, it will grip you with its melody until at last you answer, "Here I am!" A song of her eternal hills that comes down through whispering maples, lilting with the secrets of her mighty forests, her sun-kissed mountains and her dreamy valleys washed by the clamorous streams ; it is a song of life that sets the alert heart beating in a new time to its melodies. There is a vivid inspiration that makes our people breath a

AUTHOR'S REMARKS.
deeper breath of living joy, that makes them live, all unknowing, the lives some poets sing of, and sends them at last, when their own day has come, to sleep contented under its high blue skies, willing enough to turn down the last page because the book of life has been such good reading. We grow prosperous as the years go by, but the mere dol- lar mark has never been rung on its coin of life, the scrapping hunt for money as the end of things has never sent it on the squalid trail of profit-hunting gain, the haggard straining face of the market place, white and drawn, has never marked the visages of our people. The proof of it is in the history of the state. It may be found, by those who care to search, in the lives of our people, who have made the state what she is today.
Vermont has prospered because the genius for prosperity was in the blood and brain of her sturdy sons and noble daughters. Here the crops grow abundant, the trees grow rich with blossoms and red with fruit, and we know each from each as well as some gleaming miser knows each dollar from another in his horde. There is something in the air, some instinctive knowledge of the mysteries of the unnum- bered ages that sleep, hidden behind the granite faces of these insol- uble hills; some breath that lifts you in spite of yourself beyond the range of sordid things and sends your nostrils tilting to sniff a breath from the horizon of creation.
We do not build skyscrapers here or boast of them, for have we not Mount Mansfield, Jay Peak, Piscah and the Camel's Hump? We al- ready live too high in the clouds to measure success with a foot rule. The quiet and cultured air of our people is not the least of our minor charms, for we are the least boastful of any in America. Vermont stands high, the glorified mistress of them all, flanked by its green hills, the silvery waters of Memphremagog and Champlain, with the song of a deep light, swinging triumphantly through our beautiful meadows, deep forests and the clear blue sky above for a sunlit canopy. Truly, we need no new Vermont.
It is to perpetuate the memory of those who have builded so well that I have labored. The first volume of the proposed series covering Caledonia, Essex and Orleans counties seems to have met with favor. I know of no more fitting words to bring these brief remarks to a close than repeating the closing paragraphs of my remarks in Volume I. I said :
If I shall have added to the material for the future historian; if I shall have preserved the biography and history of any of the families of those gracious, temperate, and valiant old state builders, whose works shall live throughout all time; if I shall win the approval of the people of our beloved state, then, and only then, shall I not have labored in vain.
The assembling of the large amount of material here used, the con- sulting of an almost innumerable number of authorities and records, is a task that one might well wish to avoid. The anxious care and watchfulness one must exercise to eliminate so far as possible errors, is great indeed, and yet I have found this a labor of love. Errors
473
AUTHOR'S REMARKS.
there are, for perfection is stamped upon the works of God alone, progression upon the works of man. In this I have labored towards progression, well knowing that perfection was unattainable.
So with these few remarks I consign my labor to an ever kind and · charitable public, trusting that it will in a measure prove both use- ful and helpful to those who love to learn more of men that they may better know God.
