discontinued and finally went down. This is all need or can stay about the furnaces.
 On the cross road leading from the upper furnace office to the upper road are two houses, one built by Chauncey Yorker the other built by William Fuller, whose wife was Florence Yorker. Mir Fuller still occupies one but do not know who occupies the other. On the south side of the rlver nearly opposite the upper furnace were three houses, which I will mention: One occupied by Asahel Dunham whose wife was Cur tiss. Their children were Grove. AsaheI, Frank. William and Celia Durham. Another house was owned by Dennis Buckley. His children were Ann, Ellen. Mary, Catherine, Margaret, Daniel and Dennis Buckley. The other house was occupied by John Lorraine whose chil dren were Edward, Paul, Isabelle. Vir- ginia and Irene Lorraine. Edward mar ried Sarah Crocker. Isabelle Is the wife of Edward McCarty. Paul married Alydia Doyle. These houses ar- now owned by the B. R. Go. The house built for Milton Joslyn in the lot ne.r the spring was occupied by him for a short time. His wife was Lucy Adam After MT. Joslyn's death the house was occu- pied by Mrs. Major Peck, who kept first class boarders. Those 1 remember were Nathaniel Ward, Rev. Henry Grant and Myron Beckley. MT. Beck lev died there.
 will not mention the many houses owned by the B. R. Go. and I do not know the number but I will mention the names of some of their employees whom furnished meat to from 1864 to 1879, most of whom have removed or passed on, some of whose children are still liv- ing.

 l I will now speak of the grist mill which stands near the lower furnace where the farmers took grist of rye to | be ground into four for making rye l bread which our mothers knew so we'll how to make. I remember my mother used to make rye short cake, sometimes i in large cakes and sometimes in the form of biscuit. which she baked in the baker before the fire. They were most excellent to eat with honey or maple syrup which we were always we'll SUD- piled with. I also remember when one of my older brothers was working in company with Jay Underwood at car pentering, he invited Jay to his house one evening to eat warm biscuit and honey which he enjoyed very much. He after ward remarked to n.y. brother that if he was invited again he should not tell his mother how to make biscuit. At this mill they also ground wheat, buckwheat and other grains. Across the road from the mill was the old mill house which was occupied by the miller. The first miller I remember was named Fuller, who was not only good miller but a great fox hunter and often came to the college with his dog and gun to hunt foxes. Later the mill was conducted by Jerry Bailey, by George Lawrence and Phineas Leavenworth and for many years by the B. R. Go. It is not operated at present. The old mill house was taken down many years ago to make room for the company'S, increasing busi- ness.
 Leaving the mill we pass the stone crusher, the coal and ore sheds, the lower office. the boarding house and come to a house built by Edward McCarty, whose wife, as I have already said, was Isabelle Lorraine. They have one son, Edward McCarty. This house was bought by G. A, Adam who occupied it for some years, and think is still owned by him.
