Fifty years ago Tuesday, or January 81,
1856, A. b. Tewksbury came from New
Boston, n. H., with his father. the late A.
w. Tewks ury, and opened a general mer-
chandise store in this village, whose sub
sequent growth and prosperity was due IN
a large measure to the influence and eX-
tensiye business interests of this firm.
They were Joined in March by Nj. A.
Tewksbury, who also became a member OF
the company with his father and brother.
The old store building. now occupied as
dwelling by F. II. Ketchum on South
Main street, was soon outgrown and re-
moved TO make room for the brick block,
An which the Tewksbury stores are still To-
Gated. The 1855 contemporaries OF the
brothers still living here are Willard Gay,
OF the firm OF Spaulding 4 Gay, hardware
merchants, in a store that was burned on
the site OF the present Dubois q Gay
block: Elijah Edison, OF the tirm OF
Badger, Edison q Smith, having gener-
al store in the old part of the village on
Central street and occupying the brick
building that is now known as the Bee
hiven teenment house; and J.lW. Hale,
wi no clerked then for Spaulding q Gay.
All these, though residents OF the village,
have been out OF active affairs for several
years, while the Tewksburys still continue
In the business with whose establishment
they were identified half century ago.
