 Some one has said that it was not as interesting to know who our ancestors were as to know of their thoughts and habits, in fact to know of how they lived. wish we knew more about them. It seems as if many showed more character, more self denial for minciple or in doing their duty than is often seen now. The times required it and perhaps their training qualified them for it. 4"@
 The matter of keeping the Sabbath was very different from what is re- quired now. It seems there was not as much danger of breaking Sunday for the women as for the men and children. The mother in one house. hold which was visited frequently by boy now one of our oldest men and is probably typical case, was known to help do the milking, get the break fast, run up the curd for the next day. s

 It passed on to John Brnsmade New ton who married Eliza Odell and their son, Walter, succeeded them. This family must have been of the right sort for Captain John Newton was near neighbor of Deacon Preston $. Hollis ter and was an Episeopalian and a democrat. MT Hollister was Con- gregationalist and a republican and they lived in an age when creed stood for so much and were men of strong opinions still no one remembers a word of disc0rd between the men or their families. The East Street schoolhouse once sl0od west of the Newton place on the north side of the road but that building was burned down. The next one was built near where the present one stands but the north road" went back of it so there was a road on all sides. When that house was old Edward Pond bought it and made a horse shed of it. Then the present one was built. School used to be kept six days in the week and on Saturday afternoons the children studied the Shorter Cate chism." James Logan's family lived at the Edward Pond place, now occu- pied by E. c.

There was row of nails driv- en into the side of the schoolroom over the door on which was laid large whip the teacher applied when he thought best.

THE HAZEN HOUSE

where Theodore Bradley lives was built for Elijah Hazen, who married Esther Hollister, sister of the twin deacons of whom we shall speak later. As they were married in 1781 it is thought they must have lived at first in an old CT house which stood a little back of the present one. MT Hagen was on his way from Milford to Vermont with his nine brothers to make a settlement and went as far as Litchfeld and turned back and settled here. What caused him to change his mind would be interesting to know but whether the cause was great or small it made a difference to the family from which ne took his bride and indeed to the whole town. It gave to Washington good strong family few of whose descend ants are with us now, Mrs Alpheus Baker and Mrs Orestes Hickox and Mrs Merrill Fenn are great-granddaugh- ters. MT Hagen must have been pro- gressive for he used to drive through to Vermont once in two yeas to visit his brothers. He som times brought back good horses, which showed his fondness for them as well as good judg- ment in selecting them. He was tn first man to take newspaper in this part of the town. It was small sheet but neighbors used to go there to get the news. It is remembered that at one time there had been a dreadful ship-wreck. How the mail was brought into town at that period is not known. MT Hagen kept on hand but ternut wood seasoned and dried, of which to make collins in case of death i in the family, there being no cabinet shop or undertaken at hand. It was the custom for some one to sit up at night to make a coffin when any one died and it must have been prevalent enough to have the wood ready. The women assisted in making the shroud. Then some one must be found who was willing 10 drive the hearse. The old hearse house stood near a blacksmith S shop not far from the entrance to Van Ingen's grounds.
 Elijah Hazen's son, Norman, next lived in this houoe. Norman married Annis Wheeler and their children were Elijah, who married Sarah Logan and lived for time in house built for them just east of the old place, and Ur- sula, who married Titus Bryan, and their descendants still live among us. The homestead passed on to Howard Hazen son of second marriage and as he married and went elsewhere to live, the place was sold to Augustus Smith, who lived there with his sister, Fannie. till he obtained a position ln Washington

D. C., position he still occupies aI- though over ninety years old. He was discharged or lost his position when he was eighty years of age but it was found that it required three men to do what he had done, and then could not do it and he was recalled. He had in- vented method of computation which was of great use, indeed was invaluable in the position he occupied. He was an active man in affairs and q well ac- cepted singing school teacher in Wash ington; also in the adjoining towns. After Miss Fannie Smiths death, the place was rented for a few years be- fore Theodore Bradley bought it and modernized it. It is told of an old rel ative of the Hazens whose wife was very disagreeable and who at last died. One friend told another that Aunt Han nah was dead and they wanted him to come to the funeral. He replied that he had wanted to go for a good while.
 1 am indebted to Miss Mary Smith for the following:
 It. John Smith came to Washington and settled on the farm and in the house at present occupied by Albert Smith, his great grandson. John Smith is said to have come here with his wife and five sons and all his pos sessions in an OK cart. Here he lived till his death in 1919 and added to the family of five whom he brought here eight more children, making in all thir- teen, ten sons and three daughters. One of the daughters died in infancy, the other two grew up, Sarah married Hezekiah Baldwin and was the mother of Deacon Stephen Baldwin. Her great granddaughter is Mrs Charles Ford. Susannah, the other daughter, mar ried Deacon Punderson. Of this large family all grew up and married but three who died in infancy, and seven of them settled here Tn Washington. The oldest son, Samuel, inherited the farm and the property passed on to his oldest son, Mansfield, who was the father of the present owner, Albert Smith. Sam uel Smiths second son, William, built the house now occupied by Burke Smith. Amos Smith. one of John Smiths sons, lived for many years and died in the house owned by Henry Bradley.
 It is told of the John Smith who came from Milford that he was always known as

cheese, wait upon the men to their Sunday fxings. besides doing the ordi- nary housework and getting herself ready for church and stopping all to reverently attend the family devotions, when the good man was ready for it, then riding horseback to church and sitting through two long services and returning home to prepare the four o'clock dinner and at night attending to the dairy again, thus spending the day of rest and l suppose obeying the command in it "Thou shalt not do any work" However such women found time to read the Bible and could tell us how many times they had read it through. The children were rigidly taught to keep the Sabbath, there must be no playing or laughing and talking or making a noise till sundown but they must "sit still for it is Sun day."
 Boys had to walk to church, some times going barefoot till they were
 almost there and then putting on their shoes, but they were admonished not to talk or laugh by the way, which seems more than human nature could bear and no wonder that one old gen tleman says that his grandfather died. when he was a boy. and they had his coffin draped in black and all was made horrible to his young mind; he won dered if his grandfather wouldn't have rather had it Sunday all the time than to have died, so great was his hatred of our blessed Sabbath day. It seems not only absurd but almost cruel to subject active children full of life and spirits to so much repression with so little reading of any kind at hand ex- cept the Bible and no pictures. If God made the Sabbath, He also gave the young people their lively natures. The training of children was also differ ent when they were taught to be seen and not heard and if one showed evi- dence of being possessed of a decided character that one must have its will broken. If there was anything un- usually distasteful that thing they must be made to do. Trained to work when young the boys did not attend school in summer after they were ten or twelve. One boy plowed barefooted when he was not too old to sit down and cry when the stones hurt his feet. He had no way of knowing the time of day but by watching the sun which he did all day, thinking "when will the sun be down when l can stop."
 The parents were conscientious no doubt for doesn't the Bible say some- thing about sparing the rod and spoil ing the child? But the parents prac- ced self-denial for themselves. One father of family had not worked all day for it was such a cold day in the spring till he remembered that "The sluggard will not work by reason of the cold therefore shall he beg in har- Vest, etc." So he got up his oxen and went to blowing at five o'clock in the afternoon. But to look at some of the places in which these people lived and toiled, trained their children and kept the Sabbath we will begin as you come from Nettleton Hollow the north way" The first house now occupied in summer by Walter Bronson, was built for Mansfield Smith but soon sold to William Bronson, who married Lucy A. Whittlesey and they spent all their married life there. Walter, their son, has recently remodeled and beautifed the house and the family make It their summer home.
