Cornish Home of Wealth.

Cornish Is one Of the wealthiest
towns of New Hampshire. This is due,
not entirely to the fertility of its farms,
nor to the timber in its forests, but
principally TO the ''city folks" who have
settled there.
The influx of ''city folks" first began
In 1885. with G. G. Beaman, a New
York lawyer, who married "A resident
of Windsor. VT. He built a home in
Cornish, to which he gradually added,
and with his farm the estate now em-
braces about 1000 acres. The artist
colony first started with Augustus
Saint Gaudens. George de Forest Brush,
Thomas w. Dewing and Homer Saint
Gaudens, all sculptors and painters Of
note. followed In short order. Nearly
all OF these men bought old ~farmhouses.
converting them into beautiful homes.
The artist colony seems, however, to
have later turned into n literary one.

Churchill made his home in Cornish,
and there he wrote nearly all of his
novels. Norman Hapgood has a mag

there are many others. There Is a

md the lefty folks" each for the other.
The township of Cornish erected a sol

few miles away, perpetuating the
memory of the Cornish men who
fought and died in the civil war. Hard
ly one New Hampshire township but
can boast of this mark of respect to
the loyalty of her men.
In August, 1902, while president, The
odore Roosevelt made a speech to the

if this is arranged, and the games
will be informal affairs, played when
ever most convenient to all.
