EARLY SETTLERS OF GLovER.-Samuel
Hoyt and his wife, Sally Thomas, came
from Windsor, VT, in early days and set
tied on the farm now owned by Edward
Tichurst. He built a log house and a
framed barn, where they lived till 1896,
when he built a framed house, which to-
gether with the barn, are still occupied.
They had no children. He was one of the |
rescue corps at the battle of attsburg, |
and drew his bounty land, and afterwards |
a pension of eight dollars a month. He |
was a small man in stature but active and |
Industrious. He was a great sheep shearer,
and used to shear all the sheep for miles |
around, and once on wager he sheared 62 |
native sheep in one day. He was of a
cheerful turn of mind, full of his jokes
and stories. He was man of undaunted
said he was never really scared
but once. On certain time he was i'm the
woods after his COWS about two miles from
home, walking leisurely along, when he
met huge bear coming towards him; as
soon the bear saw him he dropped on
his launches and began to growl and
'narl at him. Hoyt picked up hemlock
Knot and threw it at the bear, which
seemed to enrage it; he kept his eye on
,he bear and backed back in the path until
turn in the path hid him from the bear,
when he turned and ran, covering that
,wo miles, as he said, "In short metre"
Mr.. Hoyt died June 2, 1875, aged "a years;
