BERLIN.

came here about 1800, was a farmer ; died in 1825, aged 84.

Abel Sawyer came here from Hartland in 1788. Entered the service of his coun- try at the age of 16, as a blacksmith ; died in 1836, aged 76.

THE DEWEYS.

Simeon, William, Israel and Henry, brothers (all of them having the prefix of uncle, by the early settlers and their de- scendants generally, the two first however, being sometimes called Capt. Sim and Capt. Bill, and the third Leftenant Dewey in consequence of honors in the Vermont militia) were among the early settlers. They were descendants from Thomas Dewey who was an early settler from Mas- sachusetts Colony and " came to Windsor, Ct., from Mass. in 1639 with Mr. Huit."

SIMEON DEWEY was born in Colchester, Ct., Aug. 20, 1770, married Prudence Yemans, Feb. 27, 1794, (born in Tolland, Ct., Mar. 29, 1772, died in Berlin, Apr. I, 1844,) and settled the same year on Dog river. He removed to Montpelier in 1825. where he was deputy jailer 8 years, return- ing to his farm in Berlin in 1833, where he remained until the death of his wife. He died in Montpelier, January 11, 1863, aged 92.

WILLIAM DEWEY, born in Hanover, N. H., Jan. 26, 1772. He settled in Berlin in 1795, on the farm below his brother Simeon's ; married Abigail Flagg, 22 Apr. 1804, (born July 19, 1783, died July 28, 1826). He died Sept. 7, 1840 ; he was a successful farmer and useful citizen.

ISRAEL DEWEY, born in Hanover, N. H., Jan. 26, 1777, settled in 1801, on the up- per farm on Dog river, and removed from thence to the east part of the town about 1805, and from thence to Lunenburgh, Vt., in 1851, where he died July 21, 1862, aged 85 years. He was a member of the Legis- lature of Vt. 1820, '21 and '26; postmas- ter in Berlin from 1825 to 1850, and em- ployed perhaps more than any other man, with one exception (Hon. Abel Knapp) in town offices, as a magistrate, and in the settlement of estates. He was always ready to give his time and pecuniary aid,

beyond his real abilities, for the improve- ment of our common schools ; the welfare of the Congregational church with which he united in 1819, and other measures for the good of the community. After his removal to the east part of the town, he kept a tavern several years, and from that business and the custom of the times, ac- quired the practice of the daily use of ardent spirits, which was growing to be an excessive one, when in 1830, he relin- quished it entirely and was ever after a consistent and ardent supporter of the temperance reform. He was married first to Betsey Baldwin, Mar. 1801, born Dec. 2, 1776, died Oct. 27, 1807; second to Nancy Hovey, I Mar. 1809; born in Han- over, N. H., Dec. 24, 1786 ; died in Lunen- burgh, Aug. 7, 1859.

DEA. FENNO COMINGS,

(son of Col. Benjamin and Mary Cooper Comings,) was born in Cornish, N. H., Mar. 21, 1787 ; married Rebecca Smart, Nov. 22, 1810, (daughter of Caleb and Catharine Black Smart ; born in Croydon, N. H., July 26, 1788). He settled here in 1815, as a tanner and currier, which business he carried on until his death. He was a man doing what he found to do with his might; a member and officer of the Congregational church-a lover of order and peace. He died, Jan. 24, 1830, his death leaving a void not often felt, and being regarded as an irreparable loss to the church and community. His widow mar- ried Rev. Jonathan Kinney, in Jan. 1833, who died, May 7, 1838. She died in Ber- lin, Oct. 10, 1865.

RUSSELL STRONG,

born in Bolton, Ct., Aug. 29, 1785 ; mar- ried Miss Susanna Webster, a native of , the same place, (born Oct. 10, 1787, died Apr. 5, 1872, aged 85 years) ; came here Feb., 1814, and purchased 40 acres on the upper part of Dog river for $200 dollars, and a few years afterwards 20 acres more on which he resided until his death, 25, Feb. 1864, in his 79th year.

NATHANIEL BOSWORTH,

born in Rhode Island in 1753, when about 21, enlisted and served in the Revolution-

ary war 4 or 5 years. At one time he was a prisoner in the hands of the British, and confined in a prison ship on the Delaware river, and escaped as follows : One night he contrived to get down into the water by the side of the ship unobserved, and at- taching one end of a string to his knap- sack, took the other in his mouth and swam off; the knapsack floating behind served to keep back the waves which would other- wise have broken over his head, and as he became exhausted might have overcome him. By swimming, near as he could judge, about 3 miles, he landed and es- caped. In 1780, when Royalton was burned, Mr. Bosworth was stationed at Corinth, Vt. After a short residence in Lebanon, N. H., and Chelsea, Vt., he came to Berlin in 1806, and settled at Berlin Corner. He was a blacksmith, which bus- iness he followed here. He died in 1844, age, 91 years.

DEA. JONATHAN BOSWORTH, son of Na- thaniel Bosworth, born in Lebanon, N. H., in 1787, followed the business of his father, and came with him to Berlin. After work- ing a few years at custom work, he com- menced the manufacture of edged-tools, particularly scythes and axes, having a good water-power, with trip hammers and other machinery. But this branch of the business not proving successful, in about 1830 he added such other machinery as was deemed necessary, and commenced the manufacture of cast steel and steel-plated hoes. Each of his four sons worked in the shop, and in turn became partners in the business, and carried it on to success. Since 1870, the business has been discon- tinued. Mr. Bosworth was many years a member of the Congregational church and one of its deacons until within a few years of his death and its attending feebleness, active duties were left to younger hands. Died April, 1878, aged 91 years.

ASA ANDREWS,

third son of Elijah Andrews, and who oc- cupied the same farm as his father, died Sept. 14, 1876, aged 91. For about 20 years he kept 40 cows or more, and mark- eted his butter and cheese in Newbury-

port, Mass., where he went with his own team five or six times a year, until a few of the last years of his labor, he sent his produce by rail. He represented the town in the Legislature in 1847, '48.

JOSEPH ARBUCKLE

was born near Glasgow, Scotland, and came to America with Gen. Burgoyne's army as a soldier, and was with the army when it surrendered to Gen. Gates in 1777 ; after which he came to Berlin, and settled on a farm on the banks of the Winooski river, below the mouth of Dog river. He died about 1841, aged 84 years.

PORTER PERRIN,

second son of Zachariah Perrin, was the first male child born in town, Feb. 1, 1790. He married Miss Lucy Kinney, daughter of Rev. Jonathan Kinney, of Plainfield, Vt., (born in Plainfield, Oct. 7, 1796). Mr. Perrin probably accumulated more property in farming than any other man before his time, in that business exclusively, in town, a greater part of which he gave to charitable and religious purposes, and to his large family of children during his life- time, and the balance, which was ample for the purpose intended, to his ,widow during her lifetime. All his dealings with his fellow-men were characterized by a strict regard for justice. He was a worthy member of the Congregational church for many years before his death, May, 1871, aged 81 years.

REV. WM. PERRIN,

third son of Zachariah Perrin, born in Berlin, in 1793 ; graduated at Middlebury College in 1813 ; married Fanny, daughter of Capt. Daniel Thompson, in 1815; preached in New York State 1 year, and near Charleston, S. C., 2 or three years ; health failing, came North ; died in 1824, at the age of 31, a victim to the immod- erate use of ardent spirits. His attend- ing physician prescribed brandy for a med- icine, the use of which created an ap- petite which was soon beyond his control. Mr. Perrin was an eloquent speaker and poet. [The following is the best specimen of his verse we have been able to find from his pen-Ed.] :

BERLIN.

FAREWELL.

Say, dearest friend, relate me why The tear-drop startles from thine eye? Does the farewell which bids us part Thus fill with sobs thilne aching heart? 's that a signal to thy woe ? Does that constrain thy tears to flow ? Then cease, my friend, forbear to weep; Hush every waking woe to sleep ;- Hush every sigh, and quick I'll tell The better meaning of " farewell." Tis not a wish that you should be Consigned to want and misery ; Or that forlornly you should moan Like coving dove in desert lone ; "l'is wish that plenty may afford Iler dainties for your daily board ; That calm content and peace refined May be companions of your mind; In fine, that well may be your fare Till I again your pleasures share.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN BERLIN. FROM NOTES BY JAMES HOBART, JR.

The Ist Congregational church was or- ganized here Oct. 13, 1798, consisting of Aaron Goff, Simpson Stewart and Wm. Flagg, men about 50 years of age. Prob- ably this was the 2d organization of any denomination in the County; the Cong. church in Waitsfield was organized 2 years before. At this time there were in town 85 families, and for 8 years previous, sev- eral missionaries had preached on the Sab- bath and lectured, and some money had been raised by subscription and paid for preaching. Before the organization of the church a few professors of religion met at

the house of Mr. Flagg, Oct. II, and agreed to ask Rev. E. Lyman, of Brook- field, to embody the three named as mem- bers. Oct. 13, having met at Mr Stew- art's, Mr. Lyman preached on the occa- sion, and Mr. Goff, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Flagg presented themselves, to whom Mr. Lyman read for their public assent the confession of faith and church covenant drawn up by Mr. Hobart, which they pub- licly acknowledged, and were pronounced by Mr. Lyman a church of Christ regularly embodied in the Congregational order, and the church then proceeded to appoint Mr. Lyman their moderator for this meet- ing, and voted to unite with the people of this town in giving Mr. James Hobart a call to settle over them in the work of the gospel ministry, and that his ordination be on the 7th of Nov. next ; and voted sev- eral particulars for the ordination ; and the 3 members of the church to be a committee to wait on the council. In the course of 12 years 44 members were added to the church. About the year 1800, the town selected a pleasant and sightly spot near the center of the town for a meeting-house, and in 1803 had the building, which was 58 by 48 feet, completed. Elegant and noble in appearance, it stood open for worship, with galleries on three sides, and having a finely made steeple above its belfry, and roof painted. The edifice was dedicated Dec. 29, 1803; the sermon by Mr. Hobart : Ps. lxxxiv, I.

In 1810 and 'II there was a very inter- esting revival of religion, 37 being added to the church, and in 1811 the church pur- chased a communion set, (they having be- fore this at a communion service used a pitcher and mugs.) The meeting-house was the property of the town, and was used for town-meetings, theatrical per- formances, and a militia drill, when con- venient, which must seem contrary to the sacredness of a house of divine worship. In 1817, 19 were added to the church, and in 1819, 44, in 1827, 13, in 1832, 30, in 1835, 49. In 1868, the membership was 25 males, 54 females ; 24 of the 79 being absent members. In 1838, the meeting- house was burned, before which a new

BERLIN.

Congregational meeting-house at Berlin " Corner " had been commenced, which was completed and dedicated the next year. In 1829, Rev. Mr. Lamb, from Westfield, Vt., preached here a few months. In 1830, Rev. Mr. Whiting, from Mass., preached one year. In 1832, Rev. B. Baxter supplied one year. In 1833, Rev. A. Stuart, of Pittsfield, preached one year. 1834, Rev. S. Hurlburt was employed about one year. In 1836. Rev. Jonathan Kinney, of Plainfield, supplied one year. In 1837, Rev. Austin Hazen was installed, and continued pastor until his death, in 1855. From 1855 to 1861, Rufus Child was acting pastor. Aug. 1863, Rev. W. R. Joyslin commenced preaching here, and Feb. 2, 1864, was ordained pastor ; dismissed in 1866. In 1867, Rev. E. I Carpenter, formerly of Barre, began, and supplied until Jan. 1870. In July, 1870, Rev. E. Seabury, from Falmouth, com- menced as a supply.

REV. JAMES HOBART.

BY JAMES HOBART, JR., OF WORCESTER.

JAMES HOBART was born in Plymouth, N. H., Aug. 2, 1766, and came with his father to Berlin when about 21 ; was con- verted about 2 years after, and commenced preparing for college. He graduated at Dartmouth as A. B. in 1794; studied with Rev. Asa Burton, of Thetford; in the spring of 1795, was approbated to preach, and commenced in Chelsea, Vt., as a can- didate. The next year he was in Ply- mouth, N. H., and in 1797 and '98 at Nottingham, N. H., where he had a call to settle. During this time he preached at Berlin about 2 months, and in June, 1798, came again to Berlin, and preached as a candidate for settlement, the people of the town having invited him, and in August the town gave him a call to settle as their minister. He drew up a confes- sion of faith, church covenant, and arti- cles of discipline, and had several confer- ences with a few professors of religion, who proposed to be embodied into a church which was organized this year. [See his- tory of Congregational church]. The Rev. Mr. Burton, of Thetford, preached his or-

dination sermon Nov. 7, Rev. Messrs. Edw. Bourroughs, Martin Fuller, Stephen Fuller, E. Lyman and D. H. Williston, with their delegates, taking part in the exercises. He continued pastor of the church till May, 1829, when he was dis- missed by a mutual council. The next 12 years he labored as a preacher in New Hampshire, in Plymouth, Wentworth, En- field, Alexandria, Bridgewater and near Portsmouth. The last 20 years of his life he was never home, preaching most of the time somewhere, in Worcester, Berlin and West Berlin, and sometimes assisting in the Sabbath exercises, and in the very last year of his life, his 96th, he was able to preach a pretty well connected discourse, and could walk 6 or 8 miles in a day.

He was self-denying, laborious and per- severing, having quite a missionary spirit. While at Berlin his usual practice was to preach a third discourse on the Sabbath in a distant part of the town, or in the border of a neighboring town. He was below the ordinary height, standing erect, had a great memory, clearness of mind, good eyesight and a strong, distinct voice, speak- ing easy.

He was strongly attached to the people of Berlin, and after his dismissal, as he was occasionally at home, preached quite a number of funeral sermons. In the ser- vices on the Sabbath he used written dis- courses ; by the request of his people, the third discourse was extempore, and so was his preaching after his dismissal. It was his choice to preach without notes. In 1804, he was married to Betsey, daughter of Zechariah Perrin, Esq. They had a family of 7 sons and 5 daughters, 7 of whom are still living (1881). Two of the daughters were wives of Congregational ministers. Pamelia P. married Rev. Rufus Child, minister at Gilmantown, N. H., and afterwards a few years at Berlin. Julia married Rev. P. F. Barnard, minister a few years in Richmond, Me., and after- wards settled minister in Williamstown, Vt. Hannah, youngest daughter, married Rev. Geo. Craven, a Methodist minister of Danville, Vt. Emeline married Doct. Evans, of Piermont, N. H., and Mary,

Hon. Amary Kinney, of Terre Haute, Ia., son of Rev. J. Kinney, of Plainfield. One of the two youngest sons, Timothy Dwight, graduated at Dartmouth College, and was about going to Andover, Mass., prepar- atory for preaching, when he died. The youngest of the family, Isaac Watts, at 13 years of age joined the church in Berlin, and at 20 had nearly fitted for college, when he died.

REV. AUSTIN HAZEN.

BY REV. WILLIAM S. HAZEN, OF NORTHIFIELD.

AUSTIN HAZEN, son of Asa Hazen, was born in Hartford, June, 1786, about 2 miles from Hanover, N. H. His moth- er's name before marriage was Susanna Tracy. The Hazen family, which was large, was noted for its piety and general intelligence, and as being among the first settlers of the town. Mr. Hazen was grad- uated at Dartmouth College in 1807, and spent the next year in Binghampton, Pa., teaching ; in 1808, went to Washington, Ct. commenced the study of theology with Dr. E. Peters-date of his license to preach not known; was preaching in the neigh- borhood of Washington in Dec. 1809; preached in St. Albans several months. He was first settled over the church in the center of his native town, being ordained and installed in May, 1812; dismissed in 1828; Jan. 1829, installed pastor in the north part of the town ; dismissed in 1837, and soon after removed to Berlin. He was installed here Oct. 1837, and pastor till his death, Dec. 25, 1854. He was a diligent student of the Bible, his preach- ing eminently biblical. He presented the great central truths, the deep things of God, with great simplicity and godly sin- cerity. Though his speech and preach- ing was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, he always knew his people as it is not common for a pastor to know them, and tried to lead them in the " green pas- tures and beside the still waters " of godly living and doing, while they were hardly conscious how much they were indebted to him. During the 7 years of his labors in N. Hartford the admissions to the church were 95, and when he left, the parish was

believed to be without a parallel in the State for the large number of professing. Christians it contained in proportion to its population.

The more public religious enterprises also received from him a most hearty sup- port. He was a delegate to the general convention of Vermont in 1813, and it is said that not more than one minister in the State attended so many meetings of that body during the next 41 years. No one was more thoroughly acquainted with the religious history of the State during that period.

For many years previous to his death he was one of the directors of the Domestic Missionary, Bible and Colonization Soci- eties, and in all places to which duty called him, he was always promptly in his place, and ready at all times to perform his own part with intelligence and propriety. But the beauty of his Christian character shone most in his own family and within the circle of his more intimate friends. He rarely spoke to his children on the subject of religion, yet his life taught them un- mistakably their duty, and the excellency of the religion which he was anxious they should experience in their own hearts. His exercises at family worship command- ed attention, and produced impressions, breathing forth the earnest desire of the heart that his might be a household of faith. Mr. Hazen was twice married. His first wife, Frances Mary, daughter of Hon. Israel P. Dana, of Danville, left two chil- dren. Sophia Dana, who was educated at Ipswich and the Mt. Holyoke Female Sem- inary, where she was many years a teacher, in 1851, became connected with the Nes- torian Mission of the A. B. C. F. M. as the wife of the lamented Missionary Stod- dard; is now the wife of Dea. Wm. H. Stoddard, of Northampton, Mass.

ALLEN, who was graduated at Dart- mouth College in 1842, at Andover The- ological Seminary in 1845, and has been connected with the Marathi Mission of the A. B. C. F. M. in Western India since 1846.

His second marriage was with Lucia, daughter of Rev. Azel Washburn, of Roy-

METHODIST CHURCH.

BY MRS. C. F. DEWEY.

Methodism was first introduced into Berlin about the year 1830. At this time Berlin was included in the Brookfield cir- cuit, then in the N. H. Conference. Elisha Scott being in 1831, preacher in charge of Brookfield, Northfield and Berlin. The early history of the church previous to 1843, is not as full as may be desired, ow- ing to the first records being lost or de- stroyed. The first account we find is in 1843; J. C. Dow being then Presiding Elder of Montpelier District and John Perrin preacher, and so far as is shown by records, the first minister stationed at Ber- lin : we find also that James Currier, Al- mon Poor, Eleazer Loomis and Jacob Flanders were stewards, and Elisha Covell, Moses Strong, and D. A. P. Nye were class-leaders. The preacher gave an ac- count of the united feeling among the members then numbering 85, and the Sun- day school was well attended and prosper- ous. It was at this time connected with Barre charge and so continued till 1856, having considerable spiritual prosperity.
