gent, well informed and a Christian man although do not think he belonged to any church but was friendly toward all, and very strong temperance man. He sometimes preached and was an excepta- ble preacher and I remember on one oc- casiOn he conducted a funeral service aud all in all was a man to be respected. Going farther on little off this road to- ward "Squabbie Hole" was the house of Harry Doolittle who had four wives. His children were Elisha, Henry, Will liam, Sally, Lucy. Albertus and Angus house of Anson Lawrence, whose wife was Harriett Wolfe. They had one son Anson A. Lawrence who married Nettie Geer. They now live in this village. 1 remember MT. Lawrence had in his fam fly maiden lady named Charlott Hew itt who think lived there until her death. Next was the house of Erastus Allyn, whose wife was Alta Rockwell. Their children were Ruluf, Louise and Homer Allyn. Ruluf died when young. Louise married Henry Dean. Homer had three wives. His children were Ruluf, Clara. Payson, Fred, Am nda, Joseph and Lewis Allyn. Next the house Cf William Doolittle, whose wife was Aurelia Richardson.
 A short distance from this hpHSe on the opposite side of the road are two houses built by Alexander Maxwell. who opened up the Allyndale quarry also a quarry on the Cornish Rood property. MT. Maxwell built a mill where he saw ed stone on an extensive scale and fur nished the stone for the building of the state capitol at Hartford and for other purposes. Shortly after the capitol was ! finished the mill was burned down and was never rebuilt Some years later the -Allyndale quarry was operated un- der lease by William B. Cass, who be- came involved in law suit with MT. Allyn and after some years of litigation the case was decided in MT. Allyn's favor and MT. Cass was obliged to aban- don the quarry. Later Canfield Lime Go. quarried stone for short tune, but are now getting their supply of stone from the Rood quarry. There is also a quarry on the land of Anson A. Law renee, where the New England Lime Go. get their supply of stone for their East Canaan kilns. And here I will say that aside from the iron industry, the lime business is the largest industry in town and do not know but it exceeds even that. There are four companies, namely, the New England Lime Co., the Canfield Lime Co.,, the Connecticut Lime Go. and the Connecticut Western Lime Co.,, which furnish a large amount of lime for many markets.
 Returning to the Daboll house and gc- ing across the>little park we come to 8 house also formerly occupied by Ezekiel Daboll who had shop short distance south on the Blackberry River, where he manufactured the many things which 1 he invented. After MT. Daboll vacated this house it was occupied by Garry Manvel, whose wife was Philinda Gib- son. They had two lovely daughters, Emily and Mary Manvel. MT. Manvel was a Cooper and carried on his trade in the Daboll shop. I remember he made pork barrels and oyster kegs. This place was afterward owned by William Adam Eth, whose wife, as I have already said, was Frances Smith. Their children were Lucy, Jennie, Lizzie, Hattie, Will liam and Theodore Adam. MT. Adam had store which he conducted until his death. This house is HOW owned by MT. Whitney and the store is occupied by Stratton Brothers.
