TAFT's ANCESTRAL HOME.
Picturesque Green Mountain Village of
ToWnshend.

Writing of the possible visit of Presi
dent Taft to the birthplace of his father
this fall, contributor to the Hartford
Courant Says
There are few towns in Vermont more
beautifully situated than is ancient Towns
bend on the West River, 20 miles from
Brattleboro. Lying between Newfane and
Jamaica, the little village of West Towns.
| bend commands view to the south of the
| Holyoke range sixty miles away, while to
| the westward the Green mountains rise
peak against peak, range above range, cul.
minating against the shadowy Adiron-
dacks.
The town was settled in June 1851, by
John Bard, Thomas Baird and Colonel
John Hazeltine. 1t is said that the settle
ment of the town happened on this wise:
AT meeting in Massachusetts, of the
grantees, old Colonel Hazeltine made ali
arrangement whereby the proprietor who
reached the settlement first should be en-.
TITLED to the first choice of the lots that
mad been surveyed. The Bairds, mistrust-
ing that Colonel Hazeltine would be in
ioWnshend as soon as possible to take IN
the best lots, made such haste that when
Colonel Hazeltine arrived on the scene he
found the Bairds already engaged in clear.
ing a spot for their cabin.
Athough the Tafts of later years seem
70 have been endowed with plentiful sup.
ply OF this worlds goods, the earlier gen.
eratlons OF the family were far from
wealthy. Not to dwell on the early his.
tory OF the family, the arrival in this
country from England in 1878 and settle
ment in Worcester county in the towns of
Mendon and Uxbridge it is interesting to
read the circumstances attending the re-
moval OF the Aaron Taft branch of the
family from Uxbridge in Massachusetts
into Iownshend in the Green Mountain
state. It was in the winter of 1889 that
aaron Taft, the great-grandfather of Pres
ldent Taft, with his family, consisting ot

:, After a careful survey of the town and
us available farms, Aaron Taft, with wise
forethought, purchased Peter Hazeltine's
farm on what is known as Taft Hill in
the western part of the town, now known
as west Townshend. An old deed still ex
tant shows that the farm embraced 100
acres and that the price that Aaron paid
was 500. 1t was in the dead of winter
when that sturdy pioneer, Aaron Taft
