ders for cemetery work on commits
sion, and followed that business for
them eight years. Mr. Fullerton says
that the hardest trip that he had was
to travel five weeks with a pair OF
horses, working almost night and day
without selling one cents worth but
the second week after his commission
, on that weeks sales was 5000.
At the end of eight years he bought
out J. II. Ty rel and the firm became
Tyrel g. Fullerton, Tyrel taking
charge of the home business and Full
lsrton of the business on the road. In
1865 he bought out w. A. Tyrel and
then it became Fullertou's Marble and
Granite Works.
In the spring of 1867 he moved his
business to Manchester Depot, where
he erected suitable buildings for the
manufacture of marble and granite,
and where he has lived to see it grow
from two houses to a nice thriving viii
lage Of more business than all the
other villages in town.
Mr. Fullerton made his first visit to
Hardwick and Woodbury. in May,
lSSs, and after looking over some Of
their granite hills decided to invest
some money there. On July >, lSSS,
he took a deed OF one undivided half
Of the Mcknight lot, now known as
the Lake property. That same fall
Mr. Fullerton bought a half interest in
the 80 acre lot known as the Laird
Quarry, which had two open quarries
and chances to open several more,
with the railroad running only a few
rods below the quarries.
In January, 1890, Mr. Fullerton and
others formed the present Woodbury.

Fullerton owing SAT, 800 OF the capital
stock. On Feb. II, 1891 Fullerton

PEELED TO retire at the end Of his fresh

sight about 1872, he commenced a
course of medical reading and after
ward entered the New York Homeo-

uated in the spring of 1875 he then
came to Manchester where he has ac-
quired an enviable practice.
In 1899 he took a Post graduate
course in New York Polytechnic, since
then he has taken a course in Osteo-
patty in Boston College.
He is an earnest student in medicine
and hardly year passes that he does
not spend portion of the time In
hospital study and practice, and there
is probably not better posted Doctor

He also has on hand finished marble

There is probably no other man at Man
chester Depot that has the interest OF that
village more at heart than John c. Black
mer 1t is he that opened nearly all the
streets of the village at his own expense
and it is he that is first to promote any
new project that will benefit the town in
which he lives.
John Collins Blackmer was born Aug,
az, ISAo at what is now Manchester Cen
ter. His parents were Hiram J. and Fan
ME (Collins) Blackmer and Hiram,s
father was DIR Jonathan Blackmel, who
married Ruth Hartman, daughter of Reu-
ben Hartman, who coined copper money
at Rupert, under the authority of the
state of Vermont, sometime about the
year 1886.
Fannie Collins BlackIner, mother of
the subject of this sketch was
daughter of Eliian Collins,
son of Nathaniel Collins, one Of the earli-
est settlers and who at times served in the
Revolutionary war.
Iohn c. Blackmer received his educa'

and his New York Store" is one of the
busiest mercantile establishments in the
northern part of Bennington county. lie
has adopted the cash system and it has
become pretty well understood that a dol
lar has no greater purchasing value any
where in this section of the country than
at Blackmers.
In May, 1874, Mr. Blackmer was united
in marriage to Janett Pratt, daughter Of
E. NJ. and Fanny NJ. Pratt of Cambridge,
n. Y, who Is none the less popular among
their wide circle of acquaintance than Mr.
Blackmer himself, who is one of the most
generous, open hearted and charitable
gentlemen that it is ones good fortune to
meet and know. They reside in a COM

see, Alabama and Mississippi and served
under General Grant at Vicksburg, Miss,
during the winter of IS62-63. He was
wounded in one engagement and once
taken prisoner. The wound he received
proved to be a very troublesome one in af-
ter life and finally resulted in necessitated
amputation OF one of his legs, after the
most intense suffering for many years
After being wounded ball was removed
from the leg, audit was then thought he
would receive no further trouble from it.
Afterwards it was found, however that
there were originally two bullets in the
wound instead of the one that was removed
but the second one had been there so long
that nothing but amputation could save his
life. Today, with the aid of wooden
limb in place of the amputated one, he gets
about quite comfortably and is enjoying
comparatively good health.
In 1865 Mr. Blackmer returned to his
native town and soon after entered the
employ of 6. w. Bradley Of Sunderland,
where he remained till 1869, coming to
Manchester Depot in November Of that
year and commencing business in the
mercantile line. He has been in business
there during the whole intervening time,

position in the dry goods store Of Porter
