CHALMERS.

George Chalmers was moulder by
trade, and came from Scotland to New
bury early in life and ever after resided
there. William Wallace Chalmers, his
son, was born and reared in Newbury
and served in the civil war as a recruit
from that town Some twenty years
since he moved from East Corinth
where he had resided a few years, to
Topsham, located on Tabor branch
and engaged in manufacturing wagons
and sleds. and in general repairing.
H. Wallace Chalmers was born at
East Corinth in 1871, and soon after
came with his fathers family to Tops
ham. His boyhood days were spent
in the district school and in learning
the various lines of his fathers trade,
and his mechanical training was COM
pleted by six months experience in the
carriage shop of John T. Beach of Mani
chester, N. H. When he was al years
old, Mr.. Chalmers rented for one year
and then purchased the carriage man
ufactary and blacksmith shop of his
brother, w. H. Chalmers, located on
Tabor branch at East Topsham. His
business at first was small, but rapidly
increased and within thirty days he
had more than he could do. He inn
mediately employed skilled and prac-
teal help, and put in modern and i'm
proved machinery, adapted to the vari-
Gus operations. He has power shear
ing machine, trip hammer, power drill,
boxing machine, power thread cutter,
circular saw, planer and band saw,
lathe and power borer, in fact his plant
contains everything necessary to do
first class work in his line. He usually
employs four men and is prepared to
do all kinds Of ironsmith, wheelwright
and repair work promptly and thor
oughly, and at prices to suit the times.
During the present season he has made
a large number of sleds and is building
36 heavy wagons and several carts, be

PERSONAL SKETCHES.
BEEDE & LOCKE.

The firm of Beede & Locke is an
important factor in the business inter-
ests of Topsham. Angelo R. Beede
was born in Washington, VT, in IS42,
and his father Jonathan Beede was one
of the pioneers of that town, and clear
ed the home farm from an unbroken
wilderness. Angelo, the oldest of
family of five, was orphaned by the
death of his mother when he was eigh.
teen, and again four years later by his
fathers death.
From that time the care of the farm
devolved upon him for five years, DUR
ing which time he married. In 1860
he sold the farm and went to Illinois
and Iowa, on tour of inspection for
nearly year, when he returned and
bought a farm near Waits River in Top
sham. He farmed until 1873 when he
bought the mill privilege and property
there in company with o. A. Dodge.
At the end of three years this partner
ship was dissolved, Mr.. Beede buying
out Mr.. Dodge's half, and soon after
he formed partnership with Mr.. S.
F. Locke, who paid rent on one-half of
the mill, which the two partners stock
ed in common. This mill was built by
Edison c. Swift some time in the early
ffties and combines saw and grist-
mill, and a bobbin and wood repair
shop, under one roof. 1t is 84x36
and is in part three stories high. There
is an elevator run by water power that
conveys the bobbins to the drying loft.
Two good run of stones and four wa
tiers wheels are used with this plant. A
lively business is done in custom grind
ing and there is large sale of feed and
flour. Mr.. Beede reports that the
creamery has been great aid in Sc
curing prompt and reliable payments,
and larger sale of feed.
The firm usually handles from Ioo,-
900 to 100000 feet of spruce per
annum, and manufacture from to S
carloads per year of bobbins. They
have large run ofcustom saving, have
a band saw and planning mill and do all
kinds of custom job work. They en-
ploy from two to six men and job their
logging Both of the members of this
firm are active, hard headed and hard
handed men, doing their own business
and some of their own work.
Mr. Beede has been thrice married,
first to Louise Bradbury; second TO
Laura M. Little, and his present wife is
Josephine, daughter of H. w. Minard
of Corinth. He has no children living.
Mr.. Beede has held various and i'm
portant town offices in both Washing
ton and Topsham. and is a straight
forward, honorable man.
MIR. S. F. Locke was born and bred
in the town of Corinth, where he was
IN trade for time at Pike Hill with
Mr.. Standlick, and is we'll and favor
ably known in this vicinity.
