One of the attractions of visitors at
the Old Home Week observances in Ben
nngton will be "the Rockingham monu-
ment," made at the old United States
pottery in that village about 1850 by c..
w. Fenton. For 10 years this monument
has stood on the porch of brick house
on Pleasant street. now occupied by Capt.
Albert Walker and Henry ID. Fillmore.
At the time the monument was built, Mr..
Fenton occupied the part of the house in
which MIR. Walker now lives. The mon
ument is 10 feet high, and made In four
sections. The lower section or base is
made of several varities of clay mixed
together, with the appearance of unpol-
shed variegated marble. This repre-.
sented the "lava ware" made at that
time. The second section is made of
pottery covered with colored glaze, and
representing the "flnt enamelled ware
Above this is life size Parian bust of
Mr.. Fenton, surrounded by light Rock
ingham columns of different colored
clays. These columns support pedestal
surmounted by a Paran figure of a
woman. The entire work was designed
by Mr.. Fenton, and modelled by Daniel
Greatback, who belonged to family of
prominent English artists. a few years
ago attempts were made to secure the
monument for the Philadelphia school OF
industrial arts, but the present owners
would not part with it. Mr.. Fenton was
born in Dorset, in Bennington county
and died in Joliet, H., IN 1865. The pot
