Whitefeld, n. H., in 1896, but spent his youth
in Lunenburg until he was fourteen years
old. His father was one of the old fashioned
teamsters and for twenty years drove a six
or eight horse team from Lunenburg to Bos-
ton or down through the "Notch" TO Port
land. Not until the beginning of the present
century were double wagons used to any eX-
tent, their place being supplied even in sum-
mer by sledgeS. Grain was carried To mil on
horseback, or upon the shoulder, the doctor,

rounds in the saddle; on sunday those VINO
could not walk went to- church on horseback

Harvey Silsby represented the second stage
of advancement, when teamtng with horses
became regular business. He found MS
occupation gone when the railroad struck
st. JOhnsbury and soon afterwards moved
on to a farm in WeStmore. Vt.
VIM. II. bought farm in this town, and
having married SophrOna J. French OF New
ark, he commenced building house.
Meanwhile the war had broken out, and
"Bull Run" convinced the North that the
optimistic prediction of Seward, that the
war would be ended in sixty days, was not to
be realized. Jan. l, 1862. Mr.. Silsby enlisted
in the Sth Vermont, Col. stephen Thomas,
and with that splendid old regiment faced
the malaria of bayous, the blaze of death
from the ramparts of Port Hudson, and the
fierce onset of Early's hosts at Winchester.
He was wounded in the thigh at Port Hud-
son, was taken prisoner at Bayou Des Allie
mands, and held eleven weeks, and again
wounded at Winchester: The regiment en-

his return and engaged during the winters
