The band was organized in 1838 and belonged to the 8th Vt. Regiment, being under government pay. June trainings and state musters were of considerable importance in those days, and the band was always on hand to furnish music. It took part in the William Henry Harrison presidential campaign, and it led the famous "log-cabin parade" into Burlington at the time of the last big whig convention in Vermont June 28, 1840. Pres.

Harrison lived in a log cabin in the west, and to show their re- spect for him, the people of Jericho placed a log cabin on wheels and took it twelve miles to the convention.
The procession, which accompanied the cabin, was two miles long. Dr. Thomson says that there were more people in Burlington that day than there ever were before or since.
Of the five Thomsons mentioned in the record, all brothers, four are now dead; the fifth is Dr. Thomson of Wales street, who is 94 years old. Dr. Thomson has a daguerreotype of him- self blowing a key bugle, an instrument now displaced by the cornet. The picture was taken in 1846.

THE WARNER FAMILY.
By Jane Warner Hart.
The progenitor of the Warner family in America was An- drew Warner, who came from Hatfield, England, to America about 1630, and settled in Cambridge, Mass., but in 1635 trav- eled with the first settlers through the wilderness to Hartford, Conn. The genealogical record owned by his descendants, says of him, "He was one of the first deacons of the Center Church in Hartford, was a man of influence and property and was called to many civil appointments." He moved to Hadley, Mass., in 1659, where he d. in 1684.
Jabez Ichabod Warner was the 4th generation in direct descent from this man, and the first of the family who bore the name of Warner to settle in Jericho. He removed with his fam- ily from the town of Washington, Litchfield County, Conn., to Jericho, in 1811. He was twice m. The name of his first wife was Ann Wakely, and the name of the second was Mary Young.
His children, of whom there were eight, were all b. in Conn., and the two older sons never removed to Vermont.
Of the other six, Jabez, son of his first wife, m. his cousin, Mary Young and emigrated to Michigan, where he d. The oth- ers were Ann, Betsey, Margaret, Andrew, and Nancy Janet. The mother of these five, Mary Young, was of Scotch descent.
Ann became a school teacher of considerable local reputa- tion, and for some years after worked at the tailor's trade at the Center and d. in 1838. Betsey d. young. Margaret was also a school teacher in her day. Nancy Janet removed to Michigan. Margaret d. in 1857. Nancy Janet m. Joseph W. Geer in 1862. Date of death unknown.
Andrew, who was five years old when the family moved into town, was the only one who spent the greater part of his life and d. in Jericho. On Jan. 7, 1840 he m. Emily Graves, a native of Greenfield, Mass., and daughter of Deacon Eli Graves and his wife Judith White, who removed from Greenfield to Waterbury, Vermont, about the year 1831 and to Jericho in 1833. Mr. Warner d. Feb. 10, 1890.
644
HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
Shortly after his death, the following tribute to his memory appeared in the columns of the Burlington Free Press, written by Hon. E. H. Lane :
The Hon. Andrew Warner, who d. in Jericho, February 10, occupied through his long, active business life, so large a place in the respect and esteem of his townspeople, and of the people of the county through which he was widely known, that he deserves more extended mention than the mere notice of his death. Judge Warner was b. March 25, 1806, in the town of Wash- ington, Litchfield county, Conn., and came with his parents to Jericho when he was five years old, and there he has since always lived. He m. in 1840, a Miss Graves, an estimable lady who d. in 1881. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Hiram Hart and Miss Anna E. Warner, both of whom cared for him in his declining years. Mr. Warner was in many respects a remark- able man. Retiring and unostentatious in his tastes and manners, he, yet, almost without exception won the confidence, esteem and love of all with whom he associated. He was a man of excel- lent judgment, one to whom his neighbors and townspeople often applied for advice and counsel, and an active and interested friend of every good and worthy cause. He always took an ac- tive interest in politics, was thoroughly informed upon the news of the day, and was often elected to places of honor and trust, holding various town offices, representing his town in the Legis- lature, and was twice elected county judge. He was a true friend, always ready to excuse instead of censuring the faults of others. To one who, although somewhat younger, enjoyed for long years, his friendship and counsel and who, although not a relative, claims a place with his family as a sincere mourner it is a privilege to pay this slight tribute to his memory.
The children of Andrew and Emily Warner are Jane Graves, b. Jan. 21, 1841, and Anna Eliza, b. May 25, 1845. A third child d. in infancy. Jane, m. Hiram S. Hart of Burlington, Vt., Sept. 28, 1871. Their only child, Charlotte Warner, b. Dec. 23, 1872, d. Nov. 25, 1875. Mr. Hart d. Dec. 29, 1884. Mrs. Hart and Miss Warner both live in Jericho at the present writing.
L. F. Wilbur, a lawyer, residing at Jericho, who was well acquainted with Judge Andrew Warner from 1858 till his death in 1890, says of him, "He was one of nature's noblemen, thor-

oughly candid and honest, and possessed and exercised superior judgment in all his business relations, and was a man on whom the people of the town relied in all of their official affairs, and as a Judge and Legislator. He represented the town in the Legis- lature of Vermont for the years of 1839 and 1840, and was elected Assistant County Court Judge and held that office dur- ing the years of 1862 and 1863."
THE WHITCOMB FAMILY.
By Mary B. Whitcomb Day.
Edward Sheldon Whitcomb, son of Robert 5, Robert 4, James 4, James 3, Robert 2, John 1. The Whitcomb family trace their ancestry to Lancaster, England, from whence John Whitcomb's family came to Scituate, Mass., about 1637, and was the first to settle at Beechwood, where several generations of Whitcombs have resided. Robert Whitcomb, father of Edward, was b. in Mass. and was a stone and brick mason by trade. He m. in Long Island, Sept. 15, 1803, Mary Ann Mckay, who was b. Jan. 23, 1784, in Montmorency, Canada. Robert d. in Jericho, Mar. 20, 1844 and Mary Ann, his wife, in the same place, Jan. 18, 1867, and are buried there.
Edward Sheldon was the second son of a family of eight children, and upon his shoulders came much care and hardship when he was very young. The father having to absent himself from home working at his trade, and the eldest son when very young remaining away earning a small salary, much came upon the boy Edward who was more than willing to do his part. Their home was a log cabin, located in as beautiful and romantic a spot as can be found in the Green Mountains-Bolton Notch, to which the flour and provisions for the household had to be brought from Richmond, about five miles distant and almost all the way up very steep hills. The delivering of merchandise was not in vogue at that time, and sacks of flour, meal, and all kinds of provisions had to be carted to the home, not by horse and cart but upon Edward's back, until he was able to go out into the world and learn a trade and earn wages. Such wages were care- fully saved and sent to the home, or hoarded for the execution of his boyhood dream, of building a more commodious home for 42

his dearly beloved mother, and those left in the home nest. At the age of 28 this he was able to do. Meantime he had learned and worked at the wheelwright trade, which enabled him to do most of the carpentering himself, and it was the proudest day of his life when he saw the family located in the new home. Later he m. Harriet Newell Bass of Brookfield, Vt., Jan. 4, 1840. She was b. June 8, 1821. Their first home was on a farm in Fairfax, Vt., where four of their eldest children were b. Later they removed to Jericho where they bought the farm upon which the family lived for over sixty years. While living in Fairfax a strange experience came to Mr. Whitcomb. It was in harvest time and a hard day's work had been done. The high beams in the barn were loaded with grain. The work had been carried on late into the evening for fear of rain, and the horses were left for the night standing on the barn floor. In the night Mr. Whit- comb awoke making smothered cries, and told his wife that he had just dreamed that the big beams at the barn had broken down because of the weight and that he and the horses were being smothered. Again he slept, but soon was making the same smothering sounds as before. When he had awakened the third time he arose saying: "It is no use trying to sleep. I will have to move those horses if I get any rest." Foolish as it may seem, the horses were removed to their regular stalls and then a good night's sleep followed. But to his astonishment, when he opened the big barn doors in the morning he saw the barn floor filled up to where the big beams had been with all the harvested grain. A kind providence had warned him he always believed.
For twenty years Mr. Whitcomb conducted a general mer- chandise and grocery store, including all kinds of farm imple- ments and sewing machines. He was very successful. He had regular customers who came from all the surrounding towns to. trade. At the end of twenty years he sold out to his son Edward, and son-in-law, B. H. Day, who carried on the business for twenty years more. Mr. Whitcomb, Sr., went to Europe a number of times as agent of the Walter A. Wood Reaping and Harvesting Machine Co. He was also their agent on Liberty St., New York City, a number of years as well as in San Francisco, Cal., until his health began to fail, when he went to the Hawaiian

Islands for a rest. He soon had to give way to rheumatism, of which he was a victim for fifteen years until his sudden death by heart failure, Jan. 12, 1892.
Mr. Whitcomb was a very public spirited man, and for years before his health broke down he used to go to Mansfield Moun- tain with all he could get to join him to work the road up the mountain, which he was instrumental in having laid out, and in his time for years a good bridle path was maintained to the Summit House. The rows of maple trees which adorn the drives of Jericho mostly came from his farm. He stated in town meeting that anyone in town who wished might go to his woods and get all they wanted to beautify the drives. He was a very humane man. In slavery days a strong abolitionist. No one in trouble ever appealed to him in vain and more than once the helping hand was met with ingratitude.
During the Civil War when sick soldiers were dying and begging to come home, Mr. Whitcomb was the one to go to Washington, see Pres. Lincoln and secure their release; and once, to bring home the dead body of Lieut. Lucius H. Bostwick.
He was always a cheerful giver in every good enterprise, especially in supporting and keeping a successful school in the Academy, from which many students entered the University of Vermont and Middlebury College. In church work nothing was too hard for him to undertake. He always felt that the Congre- gational church building stood too low, and when he retired from active life offered to raise it at his own expense, and to give bonds that it should be safely done, but the church committee objected, and therefore it remains as it was.
Seven children were b. to Edward and Harriet Whitcomb : Edward Saville, b. Apr. 2, 1842 at Fairfax, Vt., m. Ella J. Walker of Union Village, Thetford, Vt., no children; Edward Saville, d. Aug. 8, 1907; Ellen Harriet, b. May 16, 1844 at Fairfax, Vt., m. Warren J. Mann of Randolph, Vt., two daus .; Mrs. Nellie Mann Chase and Miss Harriet Mann; Mary Bass, b.

Florence, m. a Kentuckian and resides in Ky. George Carlos, b. Sept. 28, 1821, Bolton, Vt. In 1856 he removed his family to Minnesota. In 1862 he raised a com- pany of 103 men to go to the front, but finding that the Sioux men were on the war path he remained and did notable service as an Indian fighter, and in defending the settlers in the Indian uprising of 1862. "At the time of the outbreak there was no available source to resist the savages, protect settlers, and check the stampede except Capt. Whitcomb and his gallant company. But for his prompt action there would probably not have been a living white settler in most of the country west of the Sioux Cities." (Gen. U. S. Grant). He returned home to find his home in ashes, his crops and fences destroyed, and his cattle driven away. Early in 1865, Capt. Whitcomb raised another company which was mustered into the U. S. service and became
