Soon after Samuel French came to Jericho, he, on the 17th day of March, 1795, bid off at public vendue 100 acres of land, lot 25 in Jericho, for the sum of six shillings. The land was sold by Collector Thomas D. Rood to pay taxes that had been assessed against the town of Jericho.
Russell French and his ancestors resided in school district No. 2. Business has changed in that locality. A short distance south of where the French family lived there was a small col- lection of houses, two blacksmith shops and a factory, and it has been named and known as Muttonville. About the year 1820 there was a mill built on Mill Brook near that place, where people brought the cloth manufactured on their handlooms to be fulled and pressed. This mill was operated by a Mr. Reed. The mill was later made into a starch factory that purchased potatoes at 12 cents per bushel and manufactured them into starch. The building was afterwards owned by Dea. John T. Clapp and son, Rollin M. Later Henry Woodford put in a turning lathe for woodwork, and Rollin M. Clapp manufactured hand rakes, being succeeded by Augustus S. Wood, who manu- factured rakes, mop handles, clothes bars and many other kinds of useful wood articles. The factory and shops have been destroyed by fire or taken down, and no business is done there at the present time.

HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
DARWIN GALLATIN FRENCH.
The French family trace their family tree to Edward French, born in England, who settled first in Ipswich, Mass., and after- wards became one of the original settlers of Salisbury, Mass. He was a prominent member of the community, one of the prudential men of 1646 and paid the third heaviest tax in Salisbury for many years.
Darwin Gallatin French is the son of Levi and Lois Morse (Hoit) French. He was born in Underhill, Vermont, on May 14, 1845. His parents came from Enfield and Canaan, New Hamp- shire, and settled at an early date in Underhill, where they became successful and respected farmers.
He had all the advantages of education in district schools and academies usual to farmers' boys at that time, and after a course at Bryant & Stratton's Commercial College in Burlington, at the age of 19 years, he was ambitious to become a merchant.
After two years' experience in New York, he returned to Underhill and bought the "White Store" at the Flats, and com- menced a commercial career.
November 2nd, 1869, he married Miss Emma L. Mead and built a home near the store, in Jericho, where they resided eleven years, afterwards removing to his ancestral farm in Under- hill, combining merchandizing and farming until 1885, when on the death of his partner, Mr. Wait Hurlburt, the business was discontinued.
Both Jericho and Underhill honored Mr. French with various offices, he being postmaster at the Flats, 14 years; also repre- sented Underhill in the Legislature of 1882.
In 1886 he removed to New York City and secured employ- ment with Lord & Taylor in their wholesale department in a minor capacity, later becoming superintendent of the wholesale business, and given power of attorney for the firm.
In 1897 Mr. French was elected a director of the Arnold Print Works of North Adams, Mass., one of the largest and most successful cloth printing corporations in the country, giving con- stant employment to more than 1,000 people.
He was elected vice-president of the company in 1913 and president in 1915, is a member of the Merchants Club and Repub-

lican Club of the City of New York, and for many years presi- dent of the board of trustees of the West-Park Presbyterian Church, which supports two other associate churches at an an- nual expense of about $35,000.00.
By his own efforts Mr. French has advanced himself to a position wherein he is justly entitled to be numbered among the more notable citizens of the Empire City.
His daughters Ethel Lillian, married Albert L. Stearns, president of The Roy Watch Case Co., New York, and Inez Enid, married Daniel Oliver Towl, superintendent of Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. They have two children, Janet French Towl and John French Towl.
