deserted and joined our army. The next morning, and two or three succeeding mornings, our army was paraded and the British officers walked along and inspected it, and when they saw a British soldier, he was tapped on the shoulder, and com- manded to step out. Where they had suspicions, and yet were not certain as to their being British subjects, they would question them. A number of times Mr. Bemis, though he never saw Ireland, was asked, " In what town in Ireland were you born"? Each time his answer was, “ I was born in Paxham, in Massachusetts." One poor fellow, the first time they came round, succeeded in squinting his eyes so as fairly to deceive them, and after that succeeded in slipping down ar. embank- ment just in the right time to save his Ilfe. About 40 of these poor deserters were taken out and shot. The army, surren- dered by Hull, was then taken to Quebec, and confined in a prison-ship on the St. Lawrence, where they were allowed but one half pint of water per day, though their prison was floating on the river, and if any one attempted to let down a cup for water he was shot down. Three-fourths of the prisoners eventually died from the crueltie: there received. The rest were eventually exchanged.

JESSE WEBSTER died in Marshfield Oct. 20, 1878, aged 83 years. He was on of the Plattsburgh volunteers, and had a application for pension pending at the tim of his death.

It is not known' that any one enliste from this town, in the war with Mexico.

But when the great rebellion broke ou that intensity of feeling which thrilled fro the prairies of the West to the shores the Atlantic, found an answering to among our hills, and by our firesides. A as call after call for reinforcements cam the father left his family, the son his } rents, in many cases, alas ! to return more.

They came in serried ranks, the boys in blue, Who at their country's call no danger knew ; Room ! room ! for Marshfield boys, our soldiers true.

In 1863 a draft was ordered; 34 men were drafted, but only one, Cottrill Clif- ford, went into the service ; 22 paid their commutation money. Clifford served his time, was discharged, and accidentally killed on his way home. I do not find his name in our list of soldiers ; probably he was put in to fill up some regiment sep- arately from our other men.

There went out 98 from us, 28 of whom never returned. A few were brought back to be buried, but most of our dead sleep on Southern soil. In the vigor of young manhood they went, one and another, who were household treasures.

"The loved of all, yet none O'er their low bed may weep."

Perhaps the last news of them was, " seen on the battle-field," or " taken prisoner,"

and then long months elapsed ere one word could be heard to stay the anguish of suspense. At last came the fearful, " Died at Andersonville."

MONTPELIER & WELLS RIVER RAILROAD.

When the history of Marshfield was written eleven years ago, we had no rail- road. About this time a charter was granted for the Montpelier & Wells River road, which passes through our town about a mile from the village. The town bonded itself in the sum of $17,500, and private subscriptions made up the sum of $30,000. All is paid but about half the bonds.

The first train of cars went through here Nov. 29, 1873. Of course the rejoicing was great.

A year or two later we were connected with the rest of the world by telegraph. The advantage to the public is not easily estimated. The railroad is doing good business. L. D. Nute is station agent and telegraph operator. A private telegraph is owned and run by George A. Putnam and L. D. Nute, from the depot to Put- nam's store, where the post-office is lo- cated. Mr. and Mrs. Putnam are telegraph operators.

THE THANKS OF THE WRITER

are due to James Pitkin, Andrew English and E. S. Pitkin, Esqs., and others, for the assistance rendered her in this work ; also to Miss Anna Pitkin, of Montpelier, for the loan of her father's journal.

[We have known our excellent historian- ess of Marshfield more than 20 years. Mrs. Pitkin was a favorite contributor in our "Poets and Poetry of Vermont," (1858,) in which see from her pen, " The Young Emigrant," " The Fugitive Slave," pages 333, 334. So well has Mrs. Pitkin written for us, and for the Montpelier papers in the past, Zion's Herald and other papers, we cannot forbear, not solicited by her, but of our own good will, to place a little group selected from her poems at the foot of her history here-Ed.]

A THOUGHT.

BY MRS. HANNAH C. PITKIN.

For thee, busy man, in a forest lone A shoot hath started, a tree hath grown. The axe-man, perchance, may have laid it low For thy narrow house-it is ready now, All ready-but mortal, art thou, art thou ?

Maiden, thy dream of affection so warm, Trust not. The shroud to envelop thy form Is woven, is coming, by wind or wave; 'Tis thine, by a stamp which no mortal gave, Thou canst not turn from the path to the grave.

Art thou toiling for wealth, the weary day, Or thirsting for fame-there's a pillow of clay On a lowly bed, 'tis waiting thee there, The mould and the worm thy pillow will share; Spirit, Oh, where is thy refuge-Oh, where?

TO THE ITINERANT'S WIFE.

BY MRS. H. C. PITKIN.

Out on the ocean, dark and wild A little bark was driven.

One kindly star looked out and smiled A precious boon from heaven; It warned of threatening near, Just, just in time the rocks to clear.

I stood upon a point of land Where ocean billows came,

A beauteous wave just kissed the strand, Then seaweed swept again.

"T'was gone, to come again no more, But left a gem upon the shore.

A wanderer lone mid desert's waste, Beneath a burning sky, Sank down at last despairingly, Hle felt that he must die, My Island Home, so dear to me, I never, never more may see!

Oh God! he cried. A tiny flower Just caught his closing eye, And in its winsome loveliness, It seemed to whisper " try." God lives, take heart, so o'er the main He found his Island Home again.

So sister, like the star be thine To bless the tempest driven, And point to poor despairing ones The narrow way to Heaven. And in the wanderer's darkest hour, Sweetly to win him like the flower.

In blessing be thou ever blest, Cheer age, and counsel youth, And ever where thy pathway lies, Scatter the gems of trutlı. And hear, when Death is lost in Life Blessings on the Itinerant's Wife.

FROM AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF MARSHFIELD.

CONTRIBUTED BY REV. GEO. E. FORBES IN 1879.

[After the Legislature of Vermont hac approbated and passed the General Res olutions of 1878, to assist in finishing thi: work, the MS. history of Mrs. Pitkin, fur nished to us for the work in 1869, having

219

MARSHFIELD.

been sent to the Claremont Manufacuring Company of New Hampshire, and by them withheld four years, with the other Wash- ington County papers sent, under their proposition to immediately print. We wrote to Mrs. Pitkin for a duplicate of her history. Unable, from the infirmities of her age and feebleness, from fully under- taking to so do, she engaged the assist- ance of Rev. Mr. Forbes, who gave us a very reliable and pleasant paper of about half the length of Mrs. Pitkin's paper, with which we were pleased and should have published, had we not fortunately mean- time recovered Mrs. Pitkin's papers, which as they are the fullest record, as she was first invited to write, and is so eminently a Washington County woman, daughter of old Gen. Parley Davis, of Montpelier, and a long-time honored and beloved res- ident of Marshfield, we are assured no other writer could be so acceptable to Marshfield, and none other to the County, and so have given the papers of Mrs. Pit- kin in full, nearly ; and will here but ap- pend a few extracts from the paper by Mr. Forbes, containing information or points in it not in Mrs. Pitkin's paper; while we feel to express under the circumstances more thanks to Mr. Forbes than if able to give his paper more fully-Ed.]

Marshfield is situated in the eastern part of the County, and lies on both sides of the Winooski river, which flows through it from north to south. The soil is a mix- ture of clay and loam ; the surface broken and hilly, is divided into productive farms. The river valley, and that part of the town lying west of it, contains the best tillage land, which has very largely been brought under cultivation. The eastern part, more rocky, is used principally for pasturage ; although in the eastern part in some sec- tions there are some good farms.

The original forests were heavy timbered with maple, beech, birch, spruce and hem- lock, and some elm, fir, cedar and pine. In the eastern part there yet remains a considerable growth of spruce and hem- ock, but it is rapidly being cut off for lum- per. Sugar-maples are to be found in all parts of the town, producing quite as bundantly of sugar as in any other part of New England.

Besides the Winooski river privileges here are two or three streams which fur- ish good water-power the larger part of

the year. It has not been utilized to any large extent, however, hence the town is not noted for its manufacturing interests. Molly's Falls, on Molly's brook, about a mile from the village, in a distance of 30 rods the water falls between 200 and 300 feet in a series of beautiful cascades. During high water the roar of these falls can be heard for several miles. A good view of these falls can be obtained from the road leading to Cabot. There is also a very pretty cascade on Nigger-head brook, about a third of a mile south of the village, where it is crossed by the road leading to the depot. The town has only one village, which is situated on the Winooski river, about a mile from the Cabot line. The Montpelier & Wells River R. R. crosses the town, running nearly parallel with the river from Plain- field until within a mile of the village, when it makes almost a right angle to the east, passing Nigger-head pond,and thread- ing its way through a notch in the moun- tains to the Connecticut river. The Marsh- field station on this road is one mile from the village, and 15 miles from Montpelier.

It is not known what white men first visited the town's location. This town- ship was purchased of the Stockbridge Indians, (see Mrs. Pitkin's paper,) but it is not certain whether these Indians ever occupied this territory. At the time of the purchase by Mr. Marsh, they were resi- dents of New Stockbridge, Montgomery Co., N. Y.

When the first settlers picked their dwelling-places, Mr. Pitkin settled upon the river near the place where Bowman P. Martin now resides ; Messrs. Dodge and Spencer settled further south and west on the higher land. Here was the birth-place of the first child born in town, a son to Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Dodge, Sept. 17, 1794, the place of his birth about a mile north of Plainfield village; the place is still owned by descendants of the Dodge family.

The first " burying-ground " was pur- chased by, and for the use of the town .. The first interment therein that has a stone to mark the spot was the infant twin sons

of Joshua and Ruth Pitkin, died January 9, 1800. Stephen Pitkin, Jr., donated the land for the village cemetery, and the first interment in it was his adopted ' daughter, Eunice Sweeny.

There have been five church organiza- tions in town. At present there are but three, as the Christian, and Calvinistic Baptist have become extinct. There have been II school districts in town. The pres- ent number is 10, each of which has a school of from 20 to 30 weeks per year. The school in village district has two de- partments, but employs two teachers only during the winter term, as a rule. The town has no academy, but competent teachers hold select schools at frequent intervals, affording educational facilities for those wishing to remain in town. And the seminaries at Montpelier and Barre, as well as academies in the vicinity, have drawn a considerable number of students from this town. There are but two per- sons, however, from this town who have received a full collegiate education. Rev. Marcus M. Carleton, missionary in India, and Prof. Curtis C. Gove, Principal of High School at Westport, N. Y.

The principal business of the town has been, and still is, farming. At present there is but little manufacturing being done. There is I boot-shop for making men's thick boots and overshoes, 2 harness-shops, I tin-shop, I photograph saloon, 2 cooper- shops, where are manufactured butter and sugar-tubs, and sap-buckets. Six saw- mills, one clap-board and three shingle mills. Two of the saw-mills are run by steam ; the rest by water-power; one cheese-factory, and I starch factory. There is I blacksmith shop, 2 wheelwright shops, and 3 carpenter-shops, There is a hotel, and a patent medicine laboratory. There are 3 stores, and 3 churches. The town cannot boast of a lawyer. It has 3 doctors, Asa Phelps and George M. Town, allo- pathic ; J. Q. A. Packer, homœopathic.

The town representatives from 1870 to 1879 have been : Moody Bemis, George A. Putnam, L. W. Pitkin, D. M. Perkins.

The population in 1840, was 1, 156; in 1850, 1,102; in 1860, 1,160; in 1870,

1,072. The decrease which the census of 1870 shows, is doubtless owing to the abandonment of some of the smaller and most unproductive farms, and the Western emigration of many of the younger men.

LEWIS BEMIS.

There are a few pensioners of the war of 1812 yet living. One of the soldiers of this war, Lewis Bemis, enlisted at Barnet in 1808. His son, Daniel H. Bemis, of Lancaster, Mass., writes of him: “He enlisted at Barnet in 1808, and served 5 years in the 4th Reg't. of Regular U. S. Infantry. He was with Harrison in his march through the wilds of Ohio in pur- suit of the Indians, and was in the battle of Tippecanoe, when over half of the men in his company were killed or wounded. The man on either side was killed, and he tvas slightly wounded in the face by a rifle ball. He was in II battles and 13 skir- mishes with the Indians. He used to re- late to his children the story of the sol- diers' sufferings while on their march to join Hull, and through Ohio; how their thirst was so intense, that when they reached Lake Erie, in spite of their offi- cers, large numbers threw themselves on the beach, and drank until they died from the effects of it. He was under Hull when he surrendered at Malden, near Detroit, and was a prisoner 26 weeks, during which time he suffered greatly, both for want of water and decent food. Their bread, he used to say, bore the markon the package in which it was enclosed, 1804. He was paroled, and went from Halifax to Boston, where he arrived a few days before the term of his enlistment expired. He soon after enlisted again in a Company of Light Artillery, with which he went up and joined Gen. Macomb's army the day before the battle of Plattsburg. A part of the bat- tery was stationed at the bridge-head a' Plattsburg, and the remainder sent to Bur lington, to prevent the British from land ing and destroying that place. He was with that portion of the battery sent to Burlington, and so did not have any active part in the battle ; but assisted in burying the dead. He was one of the party whe

22I

MARSHFIELD.

buried the British dead after the engage- ment. He was discharged after peace was ratified, having served in all about 6 years and 6 months ; 5 years under the first enlistment in the 4th Infantry, and 18 months in the Light Battery. He died in 1855, at Clinton, Mass., where he is buried, aged 73."

IRA SMITH. BY REV. GEORGE E. FORBES.

He was the son of Joshua and Keturah Smith ; was born in Woodstock, Conn., Jan. 22, 1800. , At II years, he came with his parents to Marshfield. They moved on to the farm now owned and occupied by J. E. Eddy. During his minority, Ira worked on the farm summers and attended school winters until he was 18. The school- house then stood near the present resi- dence of Webster Haskins. Soon after there was a school-house erected where the village now stands, in which he taught the first school. He was paid in grain, to the value of $12 per month, boarding him- self. In 1821, he purchased 300 acres of wild land lying around the present site of the Marshfield depot, which he cleared, and cultivated 15 acres, spending a part of his time there, and the balance in working out, until he was 29, when, Jan. 4, 1829, he was married to Hannah Jacobs, and they settled at first on his cleared land, but a short time after, as he purchased, and they removed to, the home of his parents, where they lived II years. For about 4 years after selling the home farm, he rented different places, but in 1844, pur- chased a farm on which the remainder of his life was spent. He died Sept. 18, 1880, leaving a widow, one son, Orrin, who lives on the homestead, and two daughters, now Mrs. Levi Benton, of Marshfield, and Mrs. C. H. Newton, of Montpelier. One son died in the army, and a daughter married E. B. Dwinell, but died a few years after, and 4 children died quite young. Mr. Smith held many of the town offices, being regarded by the citizens as a man of worth and integrity. He represented the town in the Legislature during 1844-5. In pol- itics he was a Democrat, and never failed by his vote to express his faith in the doc-

trines of his party. His last public act was to rise from the sick bed to which he had been confined for several days, and go to the polls to deposit his ballot for the several State officers. He believed in the vital principles of religion, but in accord- ance with the general character of the man, his faith found expression in deeds rather than in word. In religious sym- pathy he was a Universalist, and gave his influence and means to promote the inter- ests of that society in town. His morals were always above reproach. He was temperate in deed and in word ; drank no intoxicating liquors, no tea or coffee, and never used tobacco in any form ; was fru- gal and industrious, and consequently was enabled to acquire a good property, while generously responding to many calls for the promotion of educational and benev- olent enterprises.

He possessed an indomitable will and wonderful endurance from the time that he hired out as a laborer, at 9 years of age, until he abandoned active toil, a short time before his death. He met all duties with a manly spirit, and evinced his willing- ness to obey the primal law of life-labor. He had a remarkably strong constitution, and when his " golden wedding " was cel- ebrated in 1879, he seemed nearly as hale and hearty as a man of 60 years, though even then there were premonitory symp- toms of the disease which caused his death. For nearly 2 years he suffered from a cancer on the lower lip, and during the latter half of this time, especially, did he endure extreme pain and inconvenience in taking food. But under all these trials he exhibited great fortitude, and died re- signed to his Maker's will. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of cit- izens besides the numerous relatives, thus testifying of the esteem in which he was held by the entire community. The fun- eral services were brief ; no formal eulogy was pronounced ; his life had preached its sermon, and with a few words of comfort to the bereaved ones, the last sad rites were ended, and the body of this worthy man was borne to its final resting-place. His age was 81 years. "Though dead, he

yet speaketh," in his good, solid, practical life.

UNIVERSALIST CHURCH. CONTINUED.

The Rev. Geo. E. Forbes continued as pastor until May, 1880. For 1 year suc- ceeding this date the church had only oc- casional preaching services, and during this time its numbers were diminished by the death of two members. In May, 1881, the Rev. Eli Ballou, D. D., was engaged as pastor for one-half the time. This en- gagement continues at present, (Aug. 18, 1881.)

MARSHFIELD VOTED FOR THE GAZETTEER at the town-meeting held March 4, 1879, to send a subscription to Miss Hemenway. for the whole work, attested by E. L. Smith, town clerk.
