Historic Bennington Resi-.
dence Built in 1860.
FIGURED IN REVOLUTION
Retains Many Features Of Cont
mental Times and Is in
Good Preservation.

one OF the Oldest anO most lnteres-
ting places in the town is the Hubbeli
homestead located in the west part of
the town and which was among the
first houses erected in it.
1t was built by John Wood deacon
OF the Old First Meeting House. The
raising took place in May 1869. Ira
dition says that many friends were
present who brought their luncheon
with them, consisting of baked pork
and beans, brown bread, cold meats,
doughnuts, dried apple pies and
doubtless plenty of good cider.
After the raising had successfully
taken place Rev Jededisah Dewey, first
pastor of the cold First Meeting
House" proposed that Joseph Rudd
and Sarah Story, both being present.
should be married as they had been
keeping company long time. A plat
form was improvised and Mr. Dewey
performed the ceremony.
The marriage proved to be happy
one. They had a large family of
children and some of their descen-
dents are yet living in the town.
Joseph Rudd was lieutenant in Cap
tain Dewey's company at the Bepnipg-
ton battle. He was buried in the old
historic cemetery at Bennington Cen
ter.
A few days before the battle Hessian
scouts who were reconoitering through
the country stopped at the house and
demandedof Deacon Wood some food.
The requestwas promptly refused, and
Mr. Wood closed the door. AS he did
so one Of the scouts fired his gun, the
bullet going through the door and
lodging in the wall of the kitchen.
The door is now in perfect preservation
the bullet hole plainly discernible,
and people are daily passing through
its entrance.
The property later came into the
possession of Captain Elijah Dewey,
who ir 1882 presented it to Aaron
Hubbell and wife Sarah and they oc-
cupied it as soon as they were mar
ried. Mrs Habbell was daughter of
the captain. Aaron Hubbell was
member of Capt Samuel Robinsons
company at the battle and after lieu
tenant.
The house retains many of the fea,
lures of continental times, it having
been changed but little. 1t abounds
with old and valuable relics. In the
house was born Sarah, the first child
of Aaron and Sarah Hubbell in June
1888, and in the attic is the cradle that
was made for her and in which she
was rocked to sleep.
In the sitting room b ang oil paint
ings of Lieut. Aaron Hubbell AMI wife
the former having been painted so
years ago, the latter few years later
by Alpheus Chaplin, a noted artist in
those days. and father of Rev Ed
ward Hubbell Chaplin, a noted clergy
man. .
The place is yet owned by descen-
dents of Lieut. Aaron Hubbell.

cessorto 1.-The Parish Priest" in which
Mr. Sully scored one of the greatest
triumphs Of his career, but in dra-
matte strength and comedy interest it
is far ahead of anything Mr. Sully has
ever produced heretofore.
The leading role is that of a priest
in little cattle town in Idaho, where
the church finds scanty support, the
congregation is poor and the pastor
meets with many obstacles and disap-
pointments: the part was written for
Sully and fits him to nicely.

The recent snowstorm which COW
cred all of northern New Mexico came
as a great relief to a good many sheep
men. About four inches Of the beau
tiful snow covered the ground here
and about two inches as far west as
Largo, in San Juan county. As q con.
sequence, the sheep herds have scat
tered into the mesas and hills and
those that hung onto the mountains
skeedaddled the very night Of the
Storm, lest they would be snow-bouni.
Sheep have suffered very little here,
but west and south sheep owners are
rather respondent.
