LYMAN DAGGETT, son of David, (an of- ficer of the Revolutionary war, dying in that service at Oxford, Mass., 1777) came as a member of his uncle, Peter Wheelock's family, with them to Calais, Sept. 1789, at the age of 14. He was a farmer ; lived before married on the farm now of his grandson, Willard C. Bugbee, son of Chester Bug- bee, with whom he lived in the decline of life ; where he died, Apr. 1871. He m. Sarah W., youngest daughter of Silas Hathaway ; b. Feb. 1785; d. Aug. 1872 ; children, 3; 2 attained maturity : · Cath- erine H. who m. Loam Hathaway (noticed), Clarissa Amanda, widow of the late Chester Bugbee, of Calais, residing with her son upon the old homestead, cleared of the primitive forest by her father. Only two bearing the family name are now (1881) counted among our citizens : ELNATHAN,

son of Asa, and MAHLON S., son of Earl Hathaway, the former standing upon the edge of the dark valley, wearing the snows of three score years and ten; the latter, but just passed the threshold of active business life. Beside these, there remain in town the descendants of Lorton Hath- away and Chester Bugbee, who can claim direct lineage from Silas Hathaway.

CHARLES DUGAR, born in France, came to Nova Scotia with his father's family, and when about 12 years of age, to Charl- ton, Mass.

GLOAD, son of Charles, born in Charl- ton, 1775, married Sarah Dunton, of Stur- bridge, Mass., and removed to Calais in June, 1809. He settled first near where Allen Morse now lives, then where John Sabin now is, and afterwards on land now owned by his son Abner, the only one of his II children now living in this vicinity.

ABNER, son of Gload, was born 1805, in Charlton ; when about 5 years old, an ac- cident rendered him totally blind, and his career has been remarkable for one placed in the circumstances he was. His father was poor, and he was early thrown upon his own resources, but natural intelligence and energy have in great measure com- pensated for his loss of sight. He attend- ed school, and made considerable progress by hearing the recitations of other schol- ars, and engaged in nearly all the sports and labors of boyhood, taking long tramps in the woods in fishing and trapping.

He began business for himself by ped- dling small articles from house to house, and when about 21, having accumulated a little capital, bought a farm, and married Hannah Jacobs, of Montpelier. Since that time he has made farming his bus- iness, and with more than average success. He has reared a family of 6 children, and given them as good advantages as are en- joyed by the average of farmers' families, and now owns a good farm, part in this town and part in Worcester. He per- forms nearly all kinds of farm labor, and upon a recent visit, was found going about his barns caring for the stock. He is à good judge of cattle, even distinguishing

their different colors by some unaccounted for sense.

Near his house when a boy was a saw- mill ; this he clambered over until he be- came so familiar with it, that he has during the leisure hours of his busy life made two models of it, complete in all their details.

While clearing his farm, he made a con- siderable business of burning charcoal, and one winter drew 900 bushels to Mont- pelier, some 10 miles, with a pair of two- years-old steers.

He once engaged of a neighbor one of a lot of young pigs. One among them was of slightly better form than the others, and this the neighbor intended to keep himself. But when Dugar came, he could not quite refuse a blind man his choice ; so Dugar entered the pen, and after careful examination, came out with the identical pig the other had selected.

BARNABAS DOTY.

BARNABAS DOTY, Jr., b. in Rochester, Apr. 30, 1771, 2d son of Capt. Barnabas, went to Montpelier in the spring of 1789, with his brother Edmund, where they built, under the direction of Col. Larned Lamb, the first framed-house in that town, for Col. Jacob Davis.

FIRST MEETING-HOUSE SOCIETY.

In August, 1823, a call was issued, signed by Caleb Curtis, Medad Wright and Nathan Bancroft, asking all interested in building a meeting-house in Calais, to meet at the house of Medad Wright on the 18th of that month.

At this meeting, the above society was organized, by-laws adopted, and the fol- lowing officers elected : Caleb Curtis, moderator; William Dana, clerk, and Joshua Bliss, treasurer. Caleb Curtis, Isaac Davis, Alpheus Bliss, Medad Wright and Joel Robinson, committee to select a plan and agree with Caleb Bliss for land on which to set the house.

On the 30th of the same month, a meet- ing was held and the committee reported they had agreed upon a building lot and drawn a plan "40 by 42 feet, 40 pews on the lower floor, 5 feet by 6, and 18 above of the same bigness." The report was accepted. It was decided to put up the frame the ensuing fall, but to be 3 years completing the house ; also " that payment for pews be made in three equal instalments,

payable one-half in neat cattle, the other moiety in grain, the first payment of stock in one year from the first day of October next, and the grain part in one year from January next, and so annually." Chose Col. Caleb Curtis, Dea. Joshua Bliss, and Mr. Joel Robinson a committee to super- intend the building of the house, and " Capt. Remember Kent, Capt. Isaac Da- vis and Mr. Joseph Brown, a committee, to examine the work whether it be well done."

Following the record of the above meet- ing are the names of members of the society, as follows: Caleb Curtis, Isaac Davis, Alpheus Bliss, Joshua Bliss, 2d., Medad Wright, William Dana, Vial Allen, Pliny Curtis, Joel Robinson, Jabez Mower, Linnus Richards, Isaac Robinson, William Robinson, Welcome Wheelock, Oliver Sheple, Benjamin Page, Gaius Allen, Curtis Mower, Ira Brown, Joseph Brown, Daniel Harris, Caleb Bliss, Remember Kent, Shubael Shortt, Thomas Hathaway, Ephraim Pray, John Robinson, Joshua Bliss, 3d., Joshua Bliss, 4th, Gload Dugar, Dwight Marsh, Charles Clark, Amasa Mc- Knight, Hosea Brown, Weston Wheeler, Mason Wheeler, Nathan Bancroft, Loam Hathaway, James Morse, Ira Kent, Brad- ley Webber, Abdiel Kent, Ezekiel Kent, Hiram Robinson, J. V. R. Kent, Joshua M. Dana, Abdiel Bliss, Kendall T. Davis, Jesse White, Joseph W. E. Bliss, Samuel O. Robinson, Moses Clark. .

Some of the last names on the list have become owners since the building of the house.

The frame of the house was prepared and raised about the middle of October, 1823, under the direction of Lovell Kelton, Esq. As first framed there was a projec- tion in front, supporting the steeple, but subsequently the corners were filled out leaving the building in its present shape. During the two next summers, 1824 and '5 the house was completed, under the direc- tion of Mr. Griffin of Hardwick, Vt. In Nov., 1825, a meeting was held and the house accepted, at a cost of $2005, and the society was found to be indebted to the building committee some $460. Prob-

ably about the last of Nov., 1825, the house was dedicated, the dedicatory ser- mon by Rev. Mr. Bartlett of Hartland. Six religious societies were represented in the ownership of the house and its use was apportioned among them according to the interest owned by each. The first appor- tionment on record is that for 1828 : Bap- tists, 10 Sabbaths; Universalists, 20 ; Congregationalists, 9; Christians, 6; Free Will Baptists, 4; Methodists 3, and there is no change on record, of this division of the time, until 1848, when it was Univer- salists, 32 ; Congregationalists, 7; Meth- odists, 5; Baptists, 4; Christians, 4. There is no further record. There was no stove in the house until 1831, though used almost every Sabbath summer and winter.

William Dana was clerk of the society from its organization until 1834. Welcome Wheelock from 1834 to '65, and J. V. R. Kent since. The house has been little used for some years past, but the pride of the present generation has induced them to keep in repair the work of their fathers, though their religious zeal has not been sufficient to use it for the purpose for which it was designed.

THE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION. BY SILAS WHEELOCK, 1870.

The first Christian church was organized in Calais, Dec. 2, 1810, by Elder Reuben Dodge and Benjamin Putnam. There is but little account of the church on record till 1824. Elder Dodge and Elder Putnam supplied them with preaching part of the time.

In October, 1824, Elder Edward B. Rollins and Elder Seth Allen re-organized the church, and introduced the Rollins' discipline, (so called).

Ezekiel Burnham was chosen Ruling Elder or Bishop of the church. Edward B. Rollins and Seth Allen were invited to take the oversight of the church. The number of members at this time was about thirty.

Previous to this organization, the church had no written creed or articles of faith ; taking the Scriptures as their rule of faith and practice. In 1835 or 1836, the Ver-

145

CALAIS.

mont Conference laid aside the Rollins discipline, and returned to their former rule. During this time the church was supplied by a number of ministers, who occasionally met with them to preach the word. Among them were Jasper Hazen, Elhanan Winchester, R. Allen. Among those who have been instrumental in build- ing up the church are the following, viz. : Elders Benjamin Page, John Capron, Abra- ham Hartshorn, Isaac Petingal, Leonard Wheeler, Wm. Sweet and - Goolet, etc. The church now numbers 85 members. They have built a house for worship near the center of the town, and are supplied with preaching every Sabbath.

There is a flourishing Sabbath-school, and a good interest manifested among both scholars and people.

This church is now associated with the Vermont Western Christian Conference. During the 60 years since its organization, there have been a number of revivals of interest, and quite a number of young men have been ordained as ministers of the Gospel.

Previous to 1824, Jera Haskell and Royal T. Haskell were set apart for the work of he ministry, and were eminently success- ul in building up the denomination ; also, ared L. Green and Bennet Palmer, but t exactly what time they were ordained oes not appear to be known.

After a few years Elder Palmer moved › New Hampshire and spent several years and then returned to this town, where he ied May 12, 1851.

Elder Green labored with the church for any years, and contributed much to its osperity ; then moved to Bradford, where : resided several years, preaching a part the time in adjoining towns, and then oved to New Hampshire, where he now ides, but still remains a member of the rmont Eastern Conference.

Elders Jera and Royal Haskell went to sconsin, where Jera soon died, and yal still resides.

Orrin Davis, son of Isaac Davis, one of early members of the church, and one o did much for the prosperity of the rch, was ordained in 1850. He is the

present pastor of the church, and has been since 1860.

BY REV. ORRIN DAVIS.

The church in 1810 was organized with about 50 members ; there was a monthly conference established, which has been maintained until the present time. The ordinances have been observed all, or nearly all, of the time during the 70 years of its existence, and it has sustained preach- ing the most of the time by the following ministers, viz. : Elders B. Putnam, R. Dodge, B. Page, E. B. Rollins, J. Cap- ron, I. Petingal, S. Allen, William Has- kell, J. Haskell, J. L. Green, B. Palmer, L. Wheeler, A. Hartshorn, S. Wheelock, J. D. Bailey and O. Davis. It has sus- tained constant preaching the last 20 years ; the present membership about 80, accord- ing to the records, but there are only from 50 to 60 resident members. The church will seat about 300. The Sabbath-school has for some years past numbered from 100 to 130.

UNIVERSALIST PARISH IN CALAIS.

BY REV. LESTER WARREN, 1881.

The venerable William Farwell first pro- mulgated our sentiments in Washington County ; Hon. D. P. Thompson, says in his History of Montpelier, Mr. Farwell advocated our faith in a debate with Rev. Chester Wright,-the grandfather of J. Edward. This public discussion was held in the street of Montpelier, under the first shade trees of the village ; a multitude of people were present in the streets to hear this debate, and we doubt not some of the fathers whose names here follow listened with intense interest to that discussion, and returned to organize a "parish " in Calais, just 60 years ago ; dated at Calais, Dec. 14, 1820, we have this document :

We, the subscribers, inhabitants of Calais in Washington County, do hereby voluntarily associate and agree to form a society by the name of The Universalist Society in Calais for the purpose of having meetings, or supporting a minister to preach with us according to the " first sec- tion of an act entitled an act for the sup- port of the gospels," passed Oct. 26th, A. D. 1798. Subscribed to by Gideon Whee- lock, Sabin Ainsworth, Abijah Wheelock,

VERMONT HISTORICAL MAGAZINE.

Caleb Curtis, Backus Pearce, Levi Wright, Medad Wright, William Robinson, Aaron Lamb, Salem Goodenough, and others called a meeting, to meet at the dwelling- house of Gideon Wheelock.

The record states this first meeting was held at Gideon Wheelock's dwelling-house, in Calais, Feb. 21, 1821 ; Levi Wright, moderator, of said meeting ; Gideon Wheelock, clerk. A constitution and by- laws were adopted at this meeting to gov- ern the society and the following officers chosen : Aaron Lamb, Caleb Curtis, Levi Wright and Medad Wright, prudential com. The 4th article of this constitution reads :

That any member wishing to withdraw from said society, it shall be his duty to make his wishes known to the clerk, in writing, and no member may withdraw without he pay his tax, or subscription.

January 6, 1849, the new constitution and some articles of religious belief were adopted, which were recorded in the com- mencement of the "second book of rec- ords." Not all who have acted with the society have have had their names on the book of records, but I find the names of 25 members who have been moderators at annual meetings since the organization, viz : Levi Wright, Jedediah Fay, Jonas Hall, Nathan Kelton, Abijah Wheelock, Medad Wright, Welcome Wheelock, Pliny Curtis, William Robinson, Abdiel Kent, J. V. R. Kent, John Robinson, Jesse White, Samuel O. Robinson, Richard W. Toby, Alonzo Pearce, Nathaniel Eaton, Jacob Eaton, Moses Sheldon, Sylvester Eaton, Lester Warren, E. A. Hathaway, Ira S. Dwinell, Z. G. Pierce, B. P. White.

These have also been on committees and acted as officers of said society ; some of them many times. The clerks, or sec- retaries of this society have been only ten, serving the society as clerks an average of 6 years each, viz : Gideon Wheelock, Wil- liam Robinson, John Robinson, Elon Rob- inson, W. Wheelock, A. Goodenough, J. V. R. Kent, James K. Toby, Alonzo Pearce and Simeon Webb.

Welcome Wheelock was society clerk longer than any other, being elected in

1840, and serving until the time of his death in 1865-25 years.

In the year 1825, or when Calais Meet- ing-house was dedicated, the Universalist families in this town were able to own and control the same only 20 Sabbaths in the year; a little more than one-third; in 1845, their share was 32 Sabbaths. Now, in 1880, we count about 100 families, but they are so scattered all over town, it is difficult to get one-half to meet at any one place, and meetings are held in different places. The past year, 1879, and '80, the Universalists of Calais have had meetings of their order, one service each Sabbath in East Calais, and each alternate Sabbath in the west part of the town ; also evening service in S. H. Foster's grove in North Calais. To lead the singing in their meet- ings they have had such talent as afforded by Pliny Curtis, Mr. Wheelock, E. W. Ormsby, Ira A. Morse, J. M. Dana, Sam- uel O. Robinson and wife, Abdiel Kent, I. R. Kent, L. A. Kent, Murray A. Kent ; also in East Calais, Alonzo Pearce, A. D. Pearce ; by Amasa Tucker was played the bass viol, the first instrument of music in our meeting. Mrs. Dr. Ide and Mrs. Bur- nap have also been very efficient leaders in the choirs ; Mrs. Ide in the west, and Mrs. Burnap in the east part of the town. Those who have played the organ are Mrs. J. C. Brown, Mrs. Edwin Burn ham, Miss Josie M. Kent, Alice Pearce and Ellen Whitcher.

About 50 Universalist ministers have preached in Calais occasionally. Thos who have been employed by the societ for any length of time are William Fai well, Paul Dean, John E. Palmer, Thoma Browning, Mr. Amiers, Lemuel H. Tabo: Lester Warren, Sylvester C. Eaton, Joh Gregory, George F. Flanders, D. D., Ger Severance, J. H. Little, J. Edward Wrigh E. A. Goodenough, S. C. Hayford, and the present time George E. Forbes, (01 service each Sabbath in the east part the town.) I should not forget to mentic that the ladies of the society have do! their part nobly. They solicited the su scription, and hired S. A. Parker to prea a part of the time for one year, about

years ago. They have also been active in getting the reading meetings and Sunday school started, which have been the main cause of the present effort in the west. part of Calais.

Sunday schools which were first started by Mr. Raikes of England, 100 years ago, were not much thought of here when Uni- versalist meetings commenced, but we had a small school in 1844, mostly Bible class. In 1852, a school was commenced with Sidney H. Foster, superintendent, and N. A. Chase, librarian. From that it has continued, in the west part of the town until the present time. Now, the superin- tendent is J. K. Toby, with Mrs. Carrie Robinson assistant superintendent ; and Mrs. William H. Kelton is teacher of the juvenile class ; and, with prospects bright for future usefulness, the Universalist par- ish in Calais now commences to have preaching service both in the west, and east, every Sabbath the ensuing year (1881) I hope.
