Guilford by Silence Rice, the first white
woman to set foot within the limits of
the town, the great-great- great grand
mother of the two little BOYS now liv-
ing upon the farm. There are also the
powder horn and bullet pouch carried
by Ephraim Gale, ST., when he marched
to Saltwater in September 1777, with
the Guilford company under Captain
David Stowel, which started in imme
dlate response to the argent appeal
sent to Col. Benjamin Carpenter at
Guilford by special messenger from
| General John Stark at Bennington urg-
ing the GuiIford commander to
. exert yourself Night and Day in for
warding all the Militia from your
Quarter; Spare none that is able to
fire Gun or Ride horse. The han
die and u portion of the blade Of the
cavalry sabre carried in the company
of Captain Luke Parsons by Ephraim
| Gale, ir., in the war of 1912 is also
preserved. This was the cavalry de-
tachment OF the Phird Regiment Of
Vermont militia, commanded BY Col
onel Jonathan Williams.
Lieutenant Ephraim Gale (sr.) was
of the sixth generation from Richard
! Gale, the founder of the Gale family
in America, who settled in Waterfowl,
Mass, and died there in 1878. He
came to Guilford from Petersham,
Mass, about 1776, being then about Ii
years old. He married Molly, a daugh
ter of Micah and Silence Rice, this
being the first family to settle in Gull
ford, coming in September, 1764 Soon
after his marriage he settled the Gale
homestead, which has ever since been
in the possession OF himself and his
descendants of the Gale name.
The first residence built upon the
farm was tavern, which stood near
the road, about five rods south of the
present house, and it was there that
Epmain, sr., and Molly reared their
family of eight children. This was one
of the old stage coach taverns, so
much patronized in the hustling cary
days, before the building of the rail
roads which so changed the mode and
lines of travel that the time came when
there was no further use for the tavern
as public house. 1t was used for a
! time as a tenement for the families of
the farm hands and was taken down
about 1850. Its sign post and front

Brighter CHILDREN

Children are probably brighterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy mer and women.
If your Children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not a patent medicine,
simply highly concentrated oil-food,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. It
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.

the journey broke down his naturally

The unusual distinction of 100 years
of continuous occupancy by a single
family will be attained by the Gale
farm house in Guilford tomorrow, Feb.
II. On this day in 1916 Ephraim Gale.
jr., married Lydia, daughter of Capt
Lowell Bullock of Guilford, and began
housekeeping in dwelling of two
large rooms, which now composes the
main part of the present residence and
which has been occupied by five gener-
atoms Of the Gale family, each of
which has added to the original struc-
ture of the house until its two original
rooms have been increased to 70, not
to mention sundry pantries, cupboardS,
closets and other additions.
The original chimney with its double
tiue, stands square and plumb, as sound
as upon the day when it was laid, and
is still in daily use, although accom-
panied by four smaller ones of more
recent construction. One fireplace re-
mains, but the last bricks of the an
cient oven were removed In 1904, to
make room for the town clerk s safe.
Three massive stones of slate forma-
ton, quarried upon the farm, cleft
straight and square as hewn planks,
set end to end on edge, compose the
36-foot foundation under the sills of
the west side of the house, next the
highway, while above, IN the lower
edge of the roof, may be seen slate 80
inches square, also quarried upon the
farm.
In the spring of 1916, the year of
his marriage, Ephraim Gale. IT., plant
ed sapiing elm in his door yard by
the roadside, which still stands, without
any indication of decay. With its mas
sive cylindrical trunk and symmetrical
form it is an almost perfect specimen
of its type, and in its present magni-
tude and strength it is difficult to real
ize that there was once time when
its equilibrium was wellnigh overcome
by a tame bear in charge of some
strolling Canadians, who sent the bear
mp the tree, much to the amusement of
the children of the homestead.
Within the house may vet be found
some of the furnishings and equipment
Of the old home in its early days,
which watchfulness and care have re-
tanned in an almost perfect state of
preservation. Among these is side
board of cherry, with its front of ven
Ger, inlaid with many woods, for which
many cOvetous antique collector has
offered a small fortune; chairs. tables,
