H on the Cooley farm on Beckley hill
has called forth the information from
a descendant of one of the early set
II tiers of Barre that there was a Jobn
II Gould resident in Barre turing the
\ early days of the town and that the
headstone undoubtedly was erected in
his memory. The John Gould 10 whom
II the stone was erected was the son Of
H Capt. John Gould, and there were two
u girls in the family, Harriet and Lucin-
H da. The family lived for many years
near the old Twingville schoolhouse
y (now called North Barrel. The school
house later was used as a depot for
: the Montpelier 4 Wells River railroad.
/. Capt. John Gould came here To build
! the first sawmill for Joshua living
on the property now owned by the
Smith. Whitcomb & Cook. Co. THIS
! was the beginning of the living bust
ness, writes the descendant of an early
Z settler in Barre. Later Capt. Gould
. built a grist mill and the old living
] house. the house being a perfect colo
I NAL structure Captain Gould died in
a small house north of the mill which
] was later torn down and replaced 10y
new structure built for JOHN Bs-
/: con. who took his place in the mill.
] Our informant continues; This was
not the first house built in Barre. The
: old Goldsbury house is much older and
! is now standing and is known as the
Joel Goldsbury place and now owned
( by Carrie Wheelock Of Barre City. This
was the first house TO have glass win
dows. The bride Of Joel Goldsoury
