BARRE CEMETERY justly deserves, and has the reputation of being one of the best in the State. It is partly surrounded by a very beautiful cedar hedge, and has two fountains, furnished by water from the neighboring hills, which add very much to its beauty. Many fine monuments of goodly variety have been put up, the grounds tastefully laid out, and, taking it all in all, we are happy to compare it with any in the State.

The streets of Barre are well lined with shade trees, which add very much to its attractions. There are 18 stores in town, and our post-office has been made a sala- ried office, and does a very fair business.

The town has a well regulated library, of several hundred volumes, which are con- siderably read, but the newspapers prob- ably take nine-tenths of all the time devoted to reading. Geo. P. Boyce is our librarian.

" BARRE AGRICULTURAL LIBRARY .- First officers, J. S. Spaulding, pres. ; S. E. Bigelow, vice-pres .; C. Carpenter, sec. ; Stillman Wood, treasurer and librarian." Among the things that were : sold out.

Barre has a Job Printing Establishment run by Prentiss C. Dodge, and a news- paper.

The first newspaper printed in town was " THE BARRE TIMES." It was a monthly sheet, issued during the year 1871, spicy, of a literary character, and published by Stillman Wood, Esq.

" THE BARRE HERALD," established in 1879, by E. N. Hyzer, was published about 9 months.

" THE BARRE ENTERPRIZE,"

was commenced in 1880. The first num- ber was issued December 1Ith of the past year. It was conducted till April, 1881, by Mr. Lewis P. Thayer, of Randolph,

MANUFACTURES.

Plows and casting for mill-irons are man- ufactured at the old Twing stand, by Smith, Whitcomb & Cook. Their plows are becoming a great favorite among the farmers. We have also Stafford & Hol- den's Fork Factory, Holden's Factory- Dr. McCroft, proprietor : Makers of Tin Ware: J. M. Jackman, Geo. J Reynolds. W. C. Durkee, Coffins & Caskets : Shep- lee & Jones ; Harnesses, C. La Paige, M. B. McCrillis. Boots & Shoes, J. Porter, O. D. Shurtleff. Sash, Blinds & Doors, South, J. S. Robinson, Abel Wood ; Woolen Goods, William Moorcroft-are our minor manufactures : See Walton's Register, 1881 ; our chief business being the Granite Works, a notice of which will appear by the parties themselves, or some representative from their numbers.

We have a very efficient

FIRE COMPANY

of sixty stalwart young men, with a first- class hand engine, that took the first prize at a trial made in Burlington a few years since.

Barre has a Lodge of Good Templars in successful operation, which promises to be of great benefit to the people.

BARRE CORNET BAND),

well organized, is under the present lead- ership of Dr. Clarence B. Putnam. This Band was organized several years before the late war, and was at that time one of the best in the State. Early in the war they volunteered to go as a Band, were ac- cepted, and served during the war.

They did not all return. Some were left to occupy a grave in the Southern States. G. B. Putnam, who resigned the office of Postmaster to go and serve his country, now rests in an unknown grave. He was the father of the present leader of the Band.

Those who beionged to, and went as members, were H. Warner French, leader ;

A. B. Fisher, P. Parker Page, Geo. Beck- ley, Albert Wood, James Averill, John W. Averill, Geo. Blanchard, Wm. Clark, G. B. Putnam, Wm. Olds. With some few exceptions, the Band has been in prac- tice ever since the war, and some of the. veterans still occupy prominent places in the same.

BARRE BOYS IN THE WEST.

Barre has furnished its full share of young men who have gone West to earn a living, and build up the land of their adop- tion. Among the more successful we might mention Henry Wood, son of Still- man Wood, Esq., a merchant. He has traveled in Europe a year ; is the owner of real estate in Chicago which yields a good- ly income, and of a handsome cottage on Scituate Beach, in Massachusetts, a sum- mer residence. The firm of Keith Broth- ers, sons of Martin Keith, in Chicago, are also Barre boys, carry on a wholesale trade in the millinery line, are among wealthy and leading firms in Chicago. Clark Up- ton, late Mayor of Waukegan, Ill., was a Barre boy, and a lawyer of more than com- mon ability. Five sons of Micah French are in the West, working to lay up a for- tune. It is said to be much easier to get up a large party of intelligent Barre boys in Chicago than in Barre itself at the pres- ent time.

GRANITE LODGE F. & A. M.

was chartered January II, 1855, to John Twing, Otis Peck, James Hale, Maynard French, Adolphus Thurston, S. W. Davis, Martin Keith and their associates. The first three principal officers installed were Alva Eastman, W. M., Martin Keith, S. W., Webber Tilden, J. W .; and Clark Holden was the first Secretary elected by the Lodge. The organization has been in good working order from the first, and its membership steadily increased with the growth of the place, being now 125. They have a pleasant and commodious lodge- room in the old Tilden Block. The lodge have ever given ready attention to the calls of charity, caring for a sick and needy brother, and distributing to the wants of a brother's widow and orphans. Measures have recently been taken to provide a bu- rial fund in the benefits of which the fam- ily of every member might share. Thir- teen masters have been elected by the lodge since its organization ; of these Geo. W. Tilden held the office 7 years, and to

his labors the Craft owes much of its pros- perity. Past Masters : Alva Eastman, Martin Keith, Webber Tilden, Dr. N. W. Perry, A. A. Owen, Justin H. Blaisdell, Geo. W. Tilden, Henry D. Bean, Hial O. Hatch, Eli Holden, Henry H. Wetmore, Dr. J. Henry Jackson.

BARRE LODGE,

No. 929, KNIGHTS OF HONOR, was in- stituted in Barre, March 4, 1878, com- posed of 13 Charter members: George W. Tilden, J. H. Jackman, M. D., E. D. Blackwell, J. M. Perry, O. H. Reed, W. A. Perry, B. W. Braley, M. D., C. A. Gale, M. D., E. D. Sabin, Henry Priest, F. P. Thurber, J. G. Morrison, L. J. Mack, and the officers of the lodge were, Henry Priest, Dictator ; E. D. Blackwell, V. D .; J. G. Morrison, A. D .; B. W. Braley, G .; W. A. Perry, R .; J. M. Perry, F. R .; O. H. Reed, T .; L. J. Mack, G .; F. P. Thurber, S .; J. H. Jackson, C .; George W. Tilden, P. D.

The lodge met in Masonic Hall until Feb. 1, 1879, after which they rented and furnished a hall in Jackman's block, where they still remain. Meeting the 2d and 4th Monday evenings of each month. .

The lodge has been always in a flour- ishing condition since first organized, there being an average addition of 20 members each year. The lodge is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State, but makes reports direct to the Su- preme Lodge, and also sends all money for widows' and orphans' benefit fund direct to the Supreme treasurer, the Supreme lodge only having power to pay out money on death benefits. There has been twelve assessments for the year ending June 30, 1881, making only six dollars paid for each thousand dollars insurance. When the Order was smaller and also in the time of the yellow fever south, there were assess- ments amounting to eight dollars per thou- sand. Three deaths have occurred in the Order in Barre Lodge since its organiza- tion : Frank P. Thurber Dec. 3, 1879, Thomas McGovern Nov. 4, 1880, and C. H. Chamberlin, M. D., Feb. 22, 1881. A death benefit of ($2,000) two thousand

VERMONT HISTORICAL MAGAZINE.

dollars each was paid to their families very soon after the death of these members, and was of great benefit to the families. The lodge now consists of 68 members and is constantly increasing. The present officers are W. C. Nye, D .; L. W. Scott, V. D .; Lewis Keith, A. D .; George M. Goss, R .; George P. Boyce, F. R .; B. W. Braley, T .; A. C. Reed, C .; C. A. Wheaton, Guide; William Clark, Guar- dian; W. L. Huntington, S .; O. H. Reed, P. D.

Our lodge is free from debt; the hall nicely and tastefully furnished. A new Prescott organ purchased this spring stands in the hall, and we have a surplus of $200 in the treasury; our best citizens are its members, and we predict for the Knights of Honor in this place a green and flourishing old age.

PAPER OF E. L. SMITH, DEALER IN BARRE GRANITE.

In regard to the statement of the "quar- ries " of Barre, I cannot give a very definite one in regard to any but of the one in which I am interested. This one, known as the Smith & Kimball Quarry, is located upon the farm formerly owned by the late Edward J. Parker, consists of nearly 3 acres, and has not been fully developed as yet. It was opened in the summer of 1879, by E. J. Parker, but not worked to any extent until the spring of 1880, since which there has been taken away from the quarry not far from 20,000 feet of working

stock. We claim that this granite is equal to any for monumental and polished work, and so far has been quite easy to quarry, laying in large sheets of more than ordinary thickness, being covered with soil to the depth of 4 feet in many places, and the top sheets are found to be nearly as good and clean as those underneath, which is not often the case. .

We have made no public monuments, nor furnished stock for any public build- ings. We ship stock in the rough to quite an extent to Burlington, Vt., Albany, N. Y., Danville, Pa., and numerous other points ; am now furnishing granite for a bank building, to be erected in Danville, Pa., to the amount of 1 500 cubic feet ; have a contract to furnish the stock for a large monument to be erected in Boston, Mass., which will take nearly 1000 cubic feet. One piece alone is to Be 93 ft. square and 2 ft. thick; will weigh nearly 20 tons. If we had facilities for handling and draw- ing, we could quarry a block of any de- sired size. We employ now upon an average about 15 quarrymen, and the number of cutters in the employ of Mr. S. Kimball, (works are located at Montpelier, Vt.), and Smith & Wells, Barre, Vt., must num- ber at least 30. We make any kind of work to be made in granite, from rough underpinning to a nice polished monument ; value of stock taken from quarry at least $10,000 ; amount of finished work made during year ending June Ist, 1881, by E. L. Smith & Smith & Wells (Mr. Wells be- came a partner in March, 1881), about $12,000.

I consider this (granite) business es- tablished upon a sound basis, which I think will increase in time to be one of the largest industries of our State. Barre granite is second to none, and when once introduced will recommend itself.

There are at present 8 quarries opened, which are worked to quite an extent. in town, namely : "Cobble Hill," owned by E. L. Smith & P. C. Wheaton, now work- ed by P. C. Wheaton. This is of a rather light gray, and is probably the best place in Vermont to quarry stone for under- pinning, being quite rifty, so that it can

BARRE.

readily be split in pieces 8 in. thick, 2 ft. wide and 20 ft. long. It is strong, and is of the very best material for building work, curbing, etc., which can be found.

" Harrington Quarry," owned and work- ed by Ira P. Harrington, who has long been in the granite business, upon which he is now doing quite an amount of work in filling orders for rough stock. From these two quarries came the stock for the State House. They have been opened, I should judge, some 50 or 60 years. Mr. E. Hewett formerly worked the Cobble Hill Quarry, and upon the State House being rebuilt, he quarried quite an amount of blocks, to replace those injured by fire. It was near here that Charles Keith lost his life, while assisting in drawing one of those large blocks of granite up hill where they had to use ropes and blocks, a block giving away, and crushing him so that he died soon after. This is, so far as I know, the only fatal accident which has taken place in the town in connection with granite working, but numerous have been the narrow escapes from a fatal one by pre- mature explosion of blasts, falling of der- ricks, etc. These two are the only old quarries of note in town, and while they have been worked long, yet consisting as they do of large extent, there is no ex- haustion of material, but on the contrary, plenty of it and easy of access.

The Carnes Quarry, at East Barre, is worked by William Carnes, who has a shop, and finishes up his stock neatly.

" The Eastman Quarry " has been opened some 4 or 5 years, and while it has not been worked to a large extent, it is good stock, and may prove to be one of the best in town.

Levi Keith has a quarry opened which is called fair stock, not developed to any great extent,

Bigelow Quarry, upon the farm of John Bigelow, was opened about 6 years ago, and is now worked by John Collins. There is a chance for quite an extensive quarry, and it may prove to be one of the princi- pal quarries in town, though the grain is not quite so fine and dark as some.

Geo. Mann, has been opened some 3 years, is of the best grain and color, but as yet the stock has been rather hard to quarry to advantage, the sheets not laying so free and even as in some of the other quarries.

The quarry of Messrs, Wetmore & Morse is one of the best, if not the best in town and has been worked nearly 20 years ; was formerly worked by J. E. Parker, and has been owned and worked by Wetmore & Morse about 4 years. This is good stock, and lays in large sheets, and of late has been more extensively worked than any quarry in town. I estimate that they must have taken from this quarry during the 4 years at least 45,000 ft. of working stock and to appearance ·there is none the less remaining. E. L. SMITH. Barre, June 27, 1881.

STATEMENT OF W. G. PARKER'S QUARRY AND WORKS,

opened Oct. 29, 1880, began carrying on granite business Nov. 1, 1873 ; workmen em- ployed from three to six ; · has shipped gran- ite monuments to Wisconsin, Michigan, . Ohio, New York and Massachusetts ; also in Vermont ; amount of exports varying from $1,000 to $2,000.

PAPERS FROM CHAS. A. SMITH.

THE FIRST GRANITE SHOP IN BARRE.

J. S. Collins came to Barre in 1872, and opened a shop for the working of granite at the south end of the village, where he has since continued the business. This was the first shop of the kind opened in the village, and Mr. C. was the pioneer of the business of working granite for mon- umental purposes here. He at present employs five cutters at his shop and three men on the quarry, which he opened in 1876, and which is known as the Bigelow Quarry. Though the business done by Mr. Collins is less than that of some of his competitors in town, yet the excellence of the work which he was the first to send out drew attention to the value of Barre granite for monumental uses, and led to the development of the business, and as a skillful master workman, he has taught the trade to a large number, who as propri- etors, or as workmen, ply the trade in

" Mann Quarry," owned and worked by | other shops.

Wetmore & Morse are the largest deal- ers in granite in town ; their shops, situa- ted on the west of the R. R. near the depot, are arranged in a semi-circle on either side of the branch track of the R. R. with a derrick so located as to raise and move stones to and from the cars and to any part of their yards. They commenced business in 1877, in a small shed near their present location, and for a time em- ployed but one workman beside Mr. Morse. In 1880, they employed for a time 85 workmen. They have turned out handsome specimens of monumental work. The largest job upon which they have been employed was the cutting for the Bowman Mausoleum at Cuttingsville-the receipts for this job being between fifteen and sixteen thousand dollars. They own and work the quarry known as the J. E, Parker Quarry, and on this employ from ten to twenty men.

CARLETON FAMILY.

REV. HIRAM CARLETON, born in Barre, July 18, 1811 ; graduated at Middlebury College in 1833 ; was a teacher in Shore- ham, 1833-34 ; studied at Andover Theo. Sem. 1834-37 ; pastor of the Cong'l Church in Stowe in 1818. He has published an Analysis of the 24th chapter of Matthew. -Pierson's Catalogue of Middlebury Coll.

Hiram Carleton was the seventh son of Jeremiah and Deborah Carleton, early set- tlers in this town; his father, Jeremiah Carleton, died Sept. 3. 1844, and his mother Mar. 18, 1843. He has living in town at this time (1881), two brothers,- Jeremiah Carleton, 2d, born Aug. 16, 1799 ; David Carleton, born Sept. 2, 1809. The former, Jeremiah 2d, is father of Rev. Marcus M. Carleton, a missionary of the Presbyterian Board, in Umballah, India ; the latter, David, is father of Hiram Carle- ton, Esq., now of Montpelier.

There were 10 children, I think, in the old family. The Carletons are a family of more than average ability ; with some marked peculiarities, but men of charac- ter. Rev. Hiram Carleton, D. D., is now Rector of an Episcopal church in Wood's Hole, Mass. Rev. Marcus Carleton of Um-

ballah married Calista Bradford, daughter of Rodney Bradford of this place. Some ten or twelve years since she came un- attended from India via. San Francisco,- arriving here in the spring of 1869, with 5 children, the eldest hardly in his teens, the youngest a mere babe. Her two eld- est boys fitted for college in the Academy here ; entered Amherst College, (their father's alma mater,) and graduated there ; the eldest has since graduated in medicine from the College of Physicians & Surgeons in N. Y. ; is with his mother ; his sisters, now grown to accomplished young ladies, are soon to return to India; the 2d son has a position in the Public Library in New York.

WILLIAM CLARK,

son of Dea. Francis Clark, Senior, gradu- ated at Dartmouth about 1840; and at Andover Theol. Sem. ; was engaged for several years as a teacher in Georgia ; for a time settled over the Cong. church at Orford, N. H. ; subsequently went under the auspices of the American Board of Foreign Missions to Turkey ; was after- wards located at Milan, Italy, both as U. S. Consul and as the head of an educa- tional institution ; some time about 1872, returned to America and purchased a home in Newbury, Vt., which he fitted up in a handsome manner, then, for several years, a private boarding school for young ladies, known as " Montebello," was kept up by his wife, (who was a daughter of Nathan- iel Farrington, of Walden, Vt.,) and their daughter (an only child) who was a young lady of fine accomplishments. Mr. Clark returned to Europe about 1875 or '76, as the representative of a New York business house, and has since been for the most of the time in Germany. He returned a year or two since for his family, who returned with him, the property at Newbury being disposed of. Mr. Clark is a man of fine presence, a fine scholar, and the master of several languages.

BARRE COMPANY FOR PLATTSBURGH. BY STILLMAN WOOD.

The Military Company of Volunteers that left Barre for Burlington for the battle of Plattsburgh consisted of 117 men. This number took almost the entire set of young men whose ages were suitable for -

military duty, with a few old revolutionary soldiers who felt they would like to have a hand in one more battle with the red coats. The farmer left his farm, the mechanic his shop, and the merchant his store to join in the common defence, and beat back an invading foe. When the news came that the British were about to cross the river and enter Plattsburgh, the excitement was intense ; to arms, was the universal re- sponse. Men gathered immediately from all parts of the town, and formed a com- pany :
