 story in rear owned by Capt. Phineas Clark, and situated where Mrs. l Brownas grapery formerly stood (now where postoff1ce is partially 1o- i cated).
 where the Moss house stands was a house occupied by Isaac Champlin. Nearly opposite the Baptist church ! stood d one-story building. with a | narrow front, but extending quite a depth in the rear which MT. Champlin occupied as a country store. Where ] the Baptist church now stands stood at one time a small building used as
 d harness and saddler's shop when he l first completed his trade and before his
 marriage. The Red schoolhouse stood where the Episcopal church now
 stands.
