st. Clair, Mich, in 1874. Stephen Moore and
his wife, Elizabeth Huse, were of good old
Puritan New Hampshire stock, and her
grandfather fought under Stark at Benning-
ton and at Saratoga. After Geo. Moore had
completed his education at Appleton Acade-
my, Mt. Vernon, n. H., he engaged in the
lumber business in connection with his
father, and had charge of the scaling and
getting out of bill timber. Stephen Moore

MCALLISTER.

The perpetuity of American institutions

WILLIAM r. SHEDD.

William r. Shedd of Wells River was born
in 1916 and is a connecting link between the
past and present. He has a vivid recollec-
ton of the earlier events and condition of
this vicinity, and We are indebted To him for
many interesting "reminiscences ofthe earlier
times. Timothy Shedd came to Wells River
from Rindge, n. H., in 1908, married and the
next year started a tannery on the ground
now occupied in part by Deming's store.
He was successful and soon engaged in the
lumber business and invested his surplus in
land adjoining, selling as the growing needs
of the village required. He also engaged in
trade with his son-in-law as Shedd & Tracey,
and in due time W. r. was taken in as his
fathers partner in the tannery and store.
Timothy Shedd was man of powerful
physique and great ambition but his strong
constitution gave way at last under the strain
of his great labors Mr.. Shedd gives an in
teresting statement of the contrast of the
method of putting up goods in bulk and in
the rough fifty or more years ago, and the
neat and attractive packages Of to-day. The
trade at that time was almost wholly a bar
ter, or a credit trade and the country mer-
chant then was even a more important fac

John Smith, the enterprising farm
er and business man of West Newbury
| is the third generation of his family
who ,lavc lived here and borne CON
| spicttous part in business and public
affairs.
His grandfather. Col. John Smith
was born in Hampstead, N. H., in 1883.
At the early age of II he enlisted in
the army of the Revolution and re-
turned to his home after two re-enlist-
ments aud three years service with the
rank of orderly sergeant.
He married Sarah Kincaid and set
tied in West Newbury about 1880 and
where his grandson, John Smith, now
lives.
In 1912 this veteran again served his
country in the field and as a recruiting
officer, attaining the rank of Col. We
are constantly surprised at the remark
able longevity of brave pioneers who
sustained such tremendous 1abors and
severe privations.
Col. Smith died at the age of "a and
his wife at the age of %, having rear
ed vigorous family of twelve children,
Captain Charles j. Smith was born on
the homestead in 1900 and married
Jane H. Wallace, whe lived here with
her son John until her death In 1890 at
the age of 81.
John Smith, the only one of their
five children that lived to maturity,
was educated at the Seminary and has
always been closely identified with
local business interests.
In 1864 he commenced the sale of
Buckeye mowers, a business which
soon included the sale of horse rakes,
tedders, plows, harrows and cultiva-
tors and which he has extensively and
successfully conducted for thirty years.
He began handling bark and timber
soon after the close of the war and
purchased all through northern VT,
and it was a profitable trade until the
great financial revulsion of 1877 when
he lost heavily on stock in hand as did
all of the other dealers,
He also was a large purchaser of
wool in this vicinity and three years
ago loaded and shipped twenty thous-
and lbs. from Chelsea in two days.
He keeps constantly on hand and for
sale flour and all kinds of millfeeds,
buying by the car load at lowest rates
and paying spot cash.
He has also been large dealer in
fertilizers. Besides conducting this
immense private business he has
found time to serve the town as lister,
select man and agent and has received
the vote of the Democratic party as a
for representative.
Mr.. Smith is widely recognized as a
man of unusual business sagacity and
practical judgement and is an interest
ing conversational.

found which the yachtsmen can sail races
