OLDEST RECORD
or Hampshire County Found In the
Oldest House.

Prom the Hampshire Review
The first Record Book, contain
ing the records of the first County
Court organized in this county,
was found last Saturday in the attic
of the "Old Allen property" This
house we learn from authentic
information was the oldest in the
town and perhaps the oldest in this
county. ]. w. Polling informs us
his grandmother moved into this
house in 1898. or one hundred and
four years ago. The old house had
an addition built to II during the
war. IL was lately purchased by
w. b. Cornwell who was having the
old house torn down, when the
carpenters discovered the book re-
fcrred 10, covered with rubbish and
dust in the attic. 1t is in a good
state of preservation, and was
written by Gabrie Jones, who was
Hampshire county's first Clerk.
The story goes that the old man
was great gambler. According to
the custom of the times he wore gold
buttons on his coat. Once when in
''hard luck", after losing all his
money, he proceeded to cut the
buttons off his coat and gamble them
off, but his luck did not change.
Finally he said, "here goes the
last button On Gabe's coat" The
old man passed away, but the "last
button" saying remained.
The question is, how came the
book in this old house2 1t is one
hundred and fifty years old.
Was it placed there during the civil
WARP Not likely by itself. Or was
this old Gabe's residence, and did
he hide the sacred record during the
Revolutionary WARP The book was
twenty-five years old at that time.
