ft., of fair proportion, finished plain but well ; Daniel Ralph built the house, Rev. E. Scott, M. E., from Montpelier, preach- ed the dedication sermon, and the M. E. Conference sent ministers here for several years. The house is a union building, and the different denominations have had stated times to preach ; the Episcopal Methodist, the Ist Sabbath in every month and every other 2d Sabbath ; the Univer- salist the 3d Sabbath in every month ; the Protestant Methodist, the 4th Sabbath in the first 9 months in the year ; the other denominations to occupy the remainder of the time. The other denominations in this vicinity are Baptist, Congregational- ist, Adventist, Seventh day Adventist, and Spiritualists. Much of the time no regular preaching has been sustained in the union meeting house.
Rev. J. Waldron came here in 1871, to preach for a year, and staid 2 years. He was from St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., and was liked very much. Rev. Mr. Burgin, the next pastor, came from Lincoln, and staid 2 years.
The church at East Warren was built in 1834. It is also a union building, but the people are mostly Methodists in that vicin- ity ; and there is a M. E. Church, a branch of the church at Waitsfield, here. Rev. J. Boyce, from Waitsfield, preached here half of the time, for there has never been a settled minister there. I have tried to find the church records, but cannot.
REV. JOSHUA TUCKER,
was born in Salem, Mass., June 14, 1800. In 1826, he married Anna S. Cook, of Chelsea, Mass. He received his theologi- cal education in New Hampshire, and commenced to preach at the age of 28. In 1830, he was ordained at Washington, and was pastor of Washington and of Ver- shire until 1833, when he removed to Chel- sea, but remained pastor of Washington, Vershire and Williamstown until 1839. He then removed to Warren, where he preached 2 years. Since then he has lived at different times in the towns of Lincoln, Washington, Huntington, Starksboro, Middlesex, Northfield and Hydepark ; from Hydepark he removed for the third time to Starksboro,
where he now resides. He gave up preach- ing about a year ago from ill health. He preached the gospel 50 years, had 11 chil- dren, 7 now living ; died in Lincoln, aged 78. His wife is now (1881) living in Starksboro.
REV. JAIRIUS EATON,
came to this town from Enosburgh, in 1854, and preached here ever after part of the time, until his death, Dec. 25, 1861. He was a Wesleylan Methodist.
JOSEPH W. ELDRIDGE, ESQ.,
born in Stonington, Ct., May 17, 1777, married at Brooklyn, Ct., Jan. 30, 1804, to Betsy Tyler, daughter of William Tyler, and grand-daughter of Gen. Putnam. Mr. Eldridge moved into town early ; was town clerk 14 years, and the first post master, which office he held 30 years. He was the first representative from this town to the legislature, and married the first couple in town. He came into town himself before he was married, and went back to Connec- ticut after his wife. Mrs. Eldridge made her bridal-journey to her new home in the wilderness of Warren, on horse back. She was a member of the Congrega- tional church, and an exemplary Christian. Their door and purse were always open for the benefit of the gospel. The minis- ters always found a home with them. He had nearly lived man's allotted time when he was suddenly called. He stepped out to speak to a neighbor passing his house, tripped on a small stick, fell upon his hands and knees, broke a blood vessel in falling, and lived only 36 hours after ; aged 65 years, 1842. Mr. Eldridge's first wife died in 1831 ; in 1833, he married Mrs. Deborah Durkee, who died in 1869.
DEACON JAMES ALLEN,
born in Walpole, N. H., May 28, 1787, married Achsah, daughter of David and Effie Young, in 1807, and moved into this town, on the farm now owned by John Cardell, in 1810. He soon bought the farm now owned by Sylvester Wheeler. It was a wilderness farm then, and there was only a path by marked trees by which he went to his land to chop. He was a very in- dustrious man, and when it was not

weather to work out doors, he made spinning-wheels for the wives and daugh- ters of the settlers. Mrs. Allen had a great fear of the Indians, although she had never seen one. One day, when Mr. Allen was out at work, near night a ragged, rough-looking man came into the house, set down his gun, and told her he wanted some supper and to stay all night. She said he could have some supper, but she could not keep him over night. She says she flew around pretty lively, thinking this was an Indian, any way, and that her time had come. Mr. Allen came in soon, and told the man he would show him where to go to find lodging. As they started out, Mrs. Allen took her babe in her arms and followed at a distance, fearing the sup- posed Indian would kill her husband ; but the man proved to be a Mr. Atwood, from Hancock, who had been out hunting and lost his way.
Mrs. Allen united with the Baptist church when only 16, and has lived a praiseworthy life. Soon after Mr. Allen came into town he was chosen deacon of the Baptist church at Waitsfield, which had a branch in Warren, and held the office till his death in 1876, aged 89.
JOSEPH A. CURTIS,
born in Hanover, N. H., Nov. 1787, was married in 1807 to Amelia Bissell, and moved to this town. Soon after he was appointed judge in the county court, and has been State senator. He was reputed here a very good scholar. Hedied in 1867.
WILLIAM CARDELL,
born in Southwick, Mass., May 3, 1788, removed to Munroe, N. Y. ; was married Sept. 23, 1810, to Elizabeth, daughter of John and Elizabeth Peers. He came into the east part of the town and settled in 1817, but soon sold out his land for store goods, in which he was unfortunate, and lost nearly all his property. He then bought a tract of land in that part of the town called South Hollow, comprising sev- eral farms now. He was a great worker, cleared many acres of land, and made the mountain road to Lincoln for 50 cts. per rod. While making the road, he had a
cabin built on runners, in which to cook and sleep, that he moved along as fast as the road was completed.
He also kept a tavern and toll-gate sev- eral years, and was a merchant some time. When he came into town he had about $1,000, but owing to his misfortune, had only about $200 when he bought in South Hollow, and by his unremitting toil and economy, amassed a large. property, and was the wealthiest man in town at his death. He has three sons living in town, and one in Boston, Mass., all being wealthy. He sold his farm in South Hollow at length, and moved into the vil- lage, where he died Nov. 2, 1870, aged 82 years. He was many years a member of the M. E. church.
COL. STEPHEN L. SARGENT,
born in Windsor, Jan. 19, 1789, came to this town with his father, Moses Sargent, when 13 years of age. There were only 12 families in town when he came. He lived on the same farm that his father settled on, and married Bridget Shaw, of Hartland. They have 3 sons and 2 daugh- ters. Col. Sargent went with some 20 volunteers to Plattsburgh, N. Y., but did not arrive until the battle was over. In 1820, he was commissioned lieut. colonel ; in 1822, colonel of the 4th reg. Ist brigade, 4th division of Vt. militia. He was a prompt, faithful officer. He gave me these facts when past 85 years of age, and his mind at this time was remarkably clear. I am indebted to him for more information about the early settlers than any one else in town. He was the oldest Free Mason in town ; was a member over 50 years, and was buried under the Masonic order.
DENSLOW UPHAM,
born in Weathersfield in 1800, moved into town in 1818. He married, Aug. 1823, Ada H. Richardson, daughter of James Richardson. Mr. Upham is a man of good education and sound judgment. He surveyed and lotted the 2d division of land in town, and was appointed a judge of the county court in 1853-'54; elected State senator in 1864-'65. Mr. Upham has a very pleasant family, and whoever calls there is always treated very hospitably.

RICHARD STERLING
moved from South Woodstock, Feb. 22, 1823. He lived on the place now owned by G. W. Cardell, 14 years ; kept tavern 4 years of the time, then moved to Grand Hollow. He was born in Lyme, Ct., Dec. 21, 1777. At the age of 5 years his father removed to South Woodstock, Vt. When Richard Sterling came to Warren, there were but three houses in the village. He kept the first tavern, was never absent from a town meeting, and voted for every President after he was 21. He died July 23, 1872, aged 94 years, 7 mos. 2 days.
HIRAM BRADLEY,
came from Pomfret here in 1824. He was an educated man, and a teacher in his early life, but was very much broken down in his old age. Mrs. Bradley, his wife, is one of those old ladies, we seldom meet, so pleasant and so social, with a well cul- tivated mind; though over 70 when we last saw her, she conversed upon any sub- ject introduced, with ease.
AMOS RISING,
born in Southwick, Massachusetts, 1769, moved to Warren in 1799 ; had 3 children ; his oldest daughter now living in Warren, aged 86; his son is a lawyer in the West. She now lives on her father's old place, where he first settled, her name is Mrs. Lorenzo Nichols. He died 1845, aged 65.
His brother, Tehan Rising, came to Warren in 1800. He had 6 children, only one lived to grow up. Aaron Rising came to Warren in 1802. They were all influential men, and helped build up the" town.

and hoe-handles till the fall of 1868, when R. N. and D. D. Hemenway, of Ludlow, bought the shop, and commenced there, Nov. 20, that season, the turning of wooden bowls, with whom, Apr. 1, 1869, C. W. Hemenway, another brother, bought in an equal share, and helped to manufacture bowls and chair-stock until Apr. 1, 1874, when he sold to R. N. and D. D., and re- turned to farming in Ludlow, and the broth- ers, R. N. and D. D., continued the busi- ness until the fall of 1878, when the shop was burned, after which they sold the privilege to John Bradley, who has since built a shop on the old foundation.
Henry Austin manufactured clapboards on Mad river, about 3 miles above the village, for several years, and then sold out and went West. Alex. Stetson and a Mr. Hanks manufactured clothes-pins a short time ; then Mr. Hanks started a shop of his own, but did not run it long. Geo. S. Hanks built a shop also at the north end of the village, on Ford brook at the falls, for the manufacture of rolling-pins, clothes-pins and clapboards for a time, and Walter Bagley manufactured clap- boards in South Hollow several years.
Samuel Austin run a distillery many years since in town. His customers would carry their molasses (maple) and get their rum. One day a goverment officer visited him, and finding that he had no license, it cost his brother, Daniel Austin, $150.00 to settle. The old still in now in Christopher Moore's possession.
VILLAGE.
Warren has quite a village. There are some 50 dwelling-houses, 1 church, 1 school-house, a very good one ; 3 stores, 2 boot and shoe shops, 1 tannery, 5 black- smith shops, 2 clap-board mills, 2 saw- mills, I grist-mill, 3 carriage shops, 1 har- ness-shop, 1 tin-shop, 2 cooper-shops, 2 clothes-pins shops, 1 gunsmith, 1 millin- ary shop, a tavern and post-office.
