resides on the one which her father clear- ed. The deceased was a good, reliable citizen, and leaves one son and a daugh- ter-Austin Templeton, of East Montpe- lier, and Mrs. James M. Howland, of Montpelier. Although Mr. Templeton had always lived on the same place, yet he has resided in four counties and two towns, and paid taxes in three counties.


DR. NATHANIEL CLARK KING, [BY DR. SUMNER PUTNAM.]


came to Montpelier, now East Montpelier, about 1812. He was born in Rochester, Mass., July 19, 1789, being one of five brothers, and the third son of Jonathan King and Mary Clark King.


In his boyhood he attended district school until fifteen years old, when his father gave him his time, and he was to provide for himself. He immediately en- tered a private school to fit himself for teaching, and the study of medicine. He studied the languages, Greek and Latin, and made such progress that he taught school the winter after he was sixteen, and began to read medicine in 1808; and con- tinued to teach, and read, until the fall of 18II. Having studied, mixed medicines, and visited patients more or less with Dr. Foster of Rochester for 3 years, he attend- ed medical lectures at Hanover, N. H., Dr. Nathan Smith being at the head of the medical department of Dartmouth College at that time.


He began practice at North Montpelier about 1812, having a sister residing in that vicinity, and in 1814, at the call for volun- teers he went, as surgeon, with others, to Plattsburgh when the British invaded that place. In 1817, he married Miss Fanny, second daughter of Maj. Nath. Davis, one of the foremost settlers in town, engaged in mercantile pursuits. About this time his father-in-law Davis offered him a good chance to go into trade, which he accept- ed, and gradually ceased to visit the sick generally, prescribing for and visiting only those who were especially anxious for his counsel. After years of trade and careful investment of savings, he became perhaps the wealthiest resident in East Montpelier. In 1849 and 1850, he represented the town

in the legislature, and for many years did a large justice business ; many sought his advice in matters important to them, and being a well-informed, social man, of large acquaintance, many couples formerly ap- plied to him to join them in marriage.


Between 1818 and 1835, six children were born to him, only three of whom reached maturity, and are living at the present time-two of them at Montpelier, with one of whom he now resides at the age of 92, and until within a few months retaining his faculties in a remarkable de- gree. Naturally a man of strong mind,


capable, honest and conscientious, yet full of pleasantry and anecdote, he has endur- ed with fortitude and even cheerfulness whatever misfortunes came upon him, and in the course of a long life has made nu- merous friends, many of the younger class of whom yet often call to see him, while few or none of his earlier associates now remain.


Although his father was an orthodox deacon, and his oldest brother a clergy- man of the same denomination, views broader and more hopeful have ever found a place in his heart.

hanging, at the present residence of Aro P. Slayton.

June 25, 1860, Abner Chapman, aged 13 years, and Herbert L. Nye, aged 7 years, son of George G. Nye, were drown- ed while bathing in the Branch below N. Montpelier.


July 5, 1862. Nathan Parker, aged 72, died from being gored by a bull.

Nov. 22, 1875, Bessie K. Lord, aged 5, daughter of Rev. W. H. Lord, of Montpe- lier, was thrown from a carriage and killed in the west part of the town.


Arbuckle murder .- Hiram W. Arbuckle, aged 27, living with his mother at East Village, April 13, 1877, shot George Shortt, a young man of 16, who was sitting on a bench by the stove in the grist-mill. The ball striking the breast bone, glanced down to the left side. Shortt starting to leave by a back door was hit in the arm above the elbow by a second ball, after its passing through the stove-pipe, he at the same time stumbling over some wood on the floor. The appearance was that the last shot was fatal. Arbuckle immediately left the mill and went to the black-smith shop


of his brother-in-law, George W. Bancroft, and shot him twice and then returned back near the mill. About that time, Bancroft came out of the shop and started for his house. Arbuckle seeing him, ran after him and chased him round some lumber near the road. Bancroft then changed his course and ran for the mill, followed by Arbuckle, who fired again just as he was entering the mill door, he falling dead on the floor. Arbuckle then went to his home and remained there until the arrival of the constable, George Howland, who had been sent for about a mile distant, when he stepped out at a back door and shot himself, falling dead instantly. The situation of the mill, shop and house are is about like the points of a triangle, 12 rods apart, and Bancroft's house next to the other house. The young man, Shortt, strange to say, was not fatally hit, the ball of the first shot was taken out on the out- side of the left ribs, some 8 or 10 inches from where it struck him. At the time of the shooting, the miller, Mr. Clifford, and two other neighbors were in the mill, and no one except Bancroft was in the shop. No cause can be assigned for the shooting, except an unpleasantness with Shortt, growing out of a collision of teams some time previous at a ride, and the dissipation of Bancroft and treatment to his wife, who was the sister of Arbuckle.


July 18, 1878, Henry R. Campbell fell from a load of hay and was killed.


Dec. 20, 1878, Bert R. Macomber, aged 17, committed suicide by shooting.


Nov. 30, 1879, Doct. John H. Peck died from over dose of chloroform.


April 24, 1880, Byron Eastman, aged 20, was drowned by the upsetting of a boat at North Montpelier.


SYLVANUS SHEPHERD


is remembered by the citizens of Montpe- lier as an odd character about town in its early days. His brother, Willard Shep- herd, was one of the early settlers of East Montpelier, and became an opulent farm- er. The old two-story brick house he built near the line of East Montpelier and Plainfield is occupied by his descendants. He was the author of "The Phoenix Chron-

icle." The word Phoenix signifies arising out of its own ashes. The Bonfire in which 450 books were burnt: A view of Montpelier and all the country places in the State, &c. &c. By Sylvanus Shep- herd. Printed for the author. 1825, 8vo. pp. 18 .- Gilman's Bibliography.


THE STEP-MOTHER.


Lines written by CLARK STEVENS in his 89th year, to a lady who was a second wife.


A step-mother's lot is one that 's hard- She need be constant on her guard; There are so many minds to please, She should be often on her knees, To pray for grace her path to tread, And by her Saviour's will be led ; For what suits one will not another, So I do pity the step-mother.


See biography of Clark Stevens, page 581. In his old age he often amused him- self with rhyming tributes for his friends, acrostics largely. This, just given, is taken from a quarto blank book, 84 pages, all written after he was 85 years of age.
