The Daniel Heald papers say, Amokg the first settlers of\\nTemple were Peter, Ephraim and Oliver Heald. Peter and Ephraim commenced in\\nthe year 1758. They also say, During the French and Indian war, a road was\\ncut through the N. E. part of the town for accommodation of soldiers with pack\\nhorses, extending from Portsmouth through Londonderry, Wilton, Sliptown, Peter-\\nboro: thence to No. 4, now Charlestown. Another road was made from Groton through\\nTownsend, New Ipswich and Sliptown to Peterboro. Settlements were coimnenced\\non and near the two roads about the year 1758.

All\\nparties must be satisfied if they will read the Daniel Heald papers as they are?\\nwithout applying to any other source, than which, none can be more reliable. On\\nwhat theory of interpretation the words Among the first settlers, can be made to\\nmean all but die among, I am at a loss to know. Being confident that the worthy\\ndescendants of Ephraim and Peter Heald will bear me out in this only possible inter-\\npretation of the MS. of that excellent man, Daniel Heald, I subscribe it as my\\nown opinion, that the parties in question were each of them settled here in 1858,\\nthough upon different roads, and so distantly, indeed, as not to know, perhaps, of each\\nother s whereabouts.", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0030.jp2"}, "27": {"fulltext": "CENTENNIAL ADDRESS.\\n5\\nand our town s respected pioneer, penetrated the wilderness\\nas far as one of our western mountains.

People opposed,\\nand some were for having none at all. Finally, the contend-\\ning parties came to an agreement upon two, 2 when some one,\\nsinistrously and askance, proposed two more, viz., Stephen\\nBrown and Ephraim Blood, who, it was no doubt thought by\\nthe nominator, and indeed rightly, would make themselves\\nabout as useless in performing all the duties of the office as\\npossible.

At the first settle-\\nment of our hill-towns, people took pains to build their houses\\nupon elevations, where water was good and air was sweet. 1\\nThis fact is well exemplified to one who visits the site of the\\nOld Glass House. Here, on the eastern slope of the Kidder\\nMountain, no easy ascent, are the cellar-holes of a dozen houses,\\nlong since abandoned, carried off, or burned. The Todd road\\nwhich runs thereby, is exceedingly steep, in some places almost\\nterrific. When the woods were cut off, and the swamps cleared\\nup, and the Lady Health walked as well the valleys as the\\nhills, people built their houses farther down. Todd road was\\ndisused, and another was asked for on the line of the new\\nhouses which were lately built below. So it was all over\\ntown. Valley folks wanted a road, hill-folks dissented here\\nthe pull and the struggle originated, which has been kept up\\nuntil to-day.\\nFrom 1710 1785, not less than \u00c2\u00a350, nor more \u00c2\u00a380\\nL.

Since 1800 there\\nhave been extraordinary appropriations for building or re-\\npairing particular roads, c, over and above the common\\nstatement, to the amount of $4,890.00. The greatest of\\nthese were one in 1840, of $1000.00 for building the Sharon\\nLine road, and another in 1849 of $600 for keeping open\\nroads in winter. Guide-posts are spoken of in 1795, 1799,\\n1800. For the last fifty years the remunerative price of\\nlabor on the roads has been 10 cents an hour. As late as\\n1827, however, an allowance is made by the town to a sur-\\nveyor of $3.18 for Rum, Sugar and Powder expended on new\\nroad, which shows that a man not only had 10 cents an\\nhour, but 10 cents an hour and found, in the matter of\\nbeverage.\\nIn 1828, considerable damage was done to the roads, par-\\nticularly about Mr. Barnes s Mills, by a flood.

He was eldest son of the Reverend\\nMr. Webster of Salisbury. Providence permitted him to labor but a few\\nyears in his vineyard. He called for him in the prime of life and in the\\nmidst of his usefulness. It might truly be said of him that he was a\\nburning and shining light, the Author of all Good having furnished him\\nwith uncommon abilities, both of nature and improvement, sanctified, as\\nwe trust by Divine grace, which he cheerfully devoted to the service of\\nthe Sanctuary, to the great satisfaction of those who had the happiness to\\nshare in his gifts.\\nIn private life he exhibited eminently the character of the sober,\\ngrave Christian his conversation became the Gospel he professed and\\npreached. The Truths he taught to others appeared to have their genial\\ninfluence upon himself his mind being impressed with that sober regard\\nto God and duty as led him on in a steady even path of Christian con-\\nduct. His company was very entertaining and improving. His mind\\nwas formed for deep inquiries, close and accurate reasonings and solid\\njudgment. In his public character his piety and learning shone with\\nconspicuous lustre, his discourses were truly evangelical, calculated to\\nengage the attention, inform the judgment and mend the heart. And as\\nhe was distinguished in most respects, so, particularly, in a steady active\\nzeal for the liberties of his country. And although he left us in a dark\\nperiod of our public affairs, yet he expressed a firm persuasion that in the\\nbest time providence would appear for us. And the only thing that\\nseemed to attach him to life was, that he might see the happy day of our\\ndeliverance. But alas, this shining light was soon quenched.

His last illness was an inward\\nbleeding succeeded by a nervous fever, which soon put an end to his val-\\nuable life. His patience and submission were very exemplary under the\\nsinkings of nature and visible approach of death. He appeared to have\\nan even, calm and humble hope in the divine mercy. The truth with\\nwhich he had comforted others was the comfort of his own heart, living\\nand dying. T is worthy of remark that his last discourse was from those\\nwords of the apostle, we have here no continuing city, but we seek one\\nto come. As he was soon called to relish the former, so it might be\\nsaid he lived up to the latter. He had almost completed the 34 th year\\nof his age and the 6 th of his ministry.

In 1805 the votes for\\nGovernor were 21 more than on the previous year. So it is noticeable that the year\\nsucceeding each Presidential election the vote for Governor is increased, and one would\\nprobably find that the operation of suffrage is almost as regular as the nodes in music.\\nThis applies to majorities; on the other hand, minorities, more intent, are commonly\\ne^ual to themselves.", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0255.jp2"}, "234": {"fulltext": "192\\nHTSTOPY OF TEMPLE.\\n1806.\\nE oenezer Edwards, Moderator.\\nEbenezer Edwards, Representative.\\nDavid Stiles, Constable.\\nDaniel Searle,\\nBenjamin Cragin, j\\nDaniel Searle, 1\\nWilliam Howard, y Selectmen.\\nFrancis Biood, Jr.,\\nTimothy Farrar, 79 Yotes for\\nJohn Langdon, 31 J Chief Mag te.\\n1807.\\nEbenezer Edwards.

His percep-\\ntion of right and wrong was quick and delicate, and when\\ndisputes arose in his neighborhood, he was often called upon\\nto exercise it. Two men, for example, bargained concerning\\na load of hay. Smith was to cure it and put it in Brown s\\nbarn Smith drove it in, and told Brown to unload it, as he\\nhad fulfilled his part of the contract. The latter refused, and\\na quarrel ensued and who knows what might have happened,\\nhad not the Doctor ridden up, in the fortunate nick of time.\\nBoth were for leaving it out to the Doctor. Well, gentle-\\nmen, said he, you say you have both sworn not to move the\\nhay? (Smith and Brown simultaneously and very sharply\\nin the affirmative.) Then the case is a very plain one, very\\nplain indeed. You, Mr. Smith, must of course leave your cart\\nthere, and Brown must tie his horse to it till he eats the hay\\noff! Who could help laughing, however indignant, and who\\ncould get over the logic at the same time\\nDr. Crombie was twice elected Representative, but politics\\nwere not to his taste, and he commonly avoided entering the\\npartisan s arena. When he did, however, as happened in the\\nLegislature, his few words were very pungent. But most he\\nloved his home and fireside, and the genial, though toilsome\\npractice of his profession. He was uniformly courteous to\\nthe numerous guests at his establishment, was gentle in his\\nmanners, and had a pleasing address. He was a good farmer,\\nkept a fine horse, and rode him well. His pet accomplishment\\nwas ornamental penmanship, and he made some fair essays in\\npainting.\\nScrupulous in his attention to religious observances, he also\\nhad much of that humanitarian spirit, which indicates a true\\nperception of the relations of men to their Creator and each\\nother.", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0279.jp2"}, "258": {"fulltext": "216\\nFAMILY RECORDS.\\n1.

After the expiration of his apprenticeship,\\nin the year 1819, he came out to Savannah, Ga. In July,\\n1821, he left Savannah and went to Milledgeville. In the\\nvicinity of Milledgeville and Macon, he carried on his trade\\nuntil 1831, when he removed to Clinton, Ga., where he was\\nengaged with Mr. Samuel Griswold, in the manufacture of\\ncotton gins, until 1833. In that year he proceeded to Au-\\ntauga Co., Ala. The country had then begun to be populated\\nby planters from the older States. The principal production\\nbeing cotton, there was a great demand for cotton gins, and\\nMr. Pratt commenced to manufacture them on an extensive\\nscale, having had the benefit of the experience of Mr. Gris-\\nwold, the oldest and most extensive gin-maker in the world.\\nBy employing only good workmen, he was enabled to manu-\\nfacture a gin which was superior to most of those which were", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0336.jp2"}, "301": {"fulltext": "", "height": "4260", "width": "2674", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0339.jp2"}, "302": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0340.jp2"}, "303": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0341.jp2"}, "304": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3960", "width": "2381", "jp2-path": "historyoftemplen00bloo_0_0342.jp2"}, "305": {"fulltext": "HON.

At that\\ntime he was living one mile from the Alabama river, and three\\nfrom the present site of Prattville. He commenced by build-\\ning a saw-mill in 1839, then a planing-mill, a flour and grist\\nmill, and gin factory.\\nAt this time his business had become so extensive in the\\nsouth-western States, that he found it necessary to establish a\\nhouse in New Orleans, where he has erected one of the most\\nconvenient buildings for business in the city. Possessing\\nmore capital than was necessary to carry on these establish-\\nments, he determined to employ it in such a manner as would\\ncontribute the greatest amount of good to the community, and\\naccordingly he continued to improve his place by turning his\\nattention to such business as would benefit the greatest num-\\nber. The poorer classes he had particularly in view, and to\\nsuch he has been the greatest benefactor. It was this spirit\\nthat prompted the erection of his cotton factory in 1846, now\\nin complete and successful operation, and consuming from 12\\nto 1500 bales of cotton annually. About the same time he\\nbuilt an iron-foundry. He has since built a new brick flour-\\ning-mill, and recently, a sash, door and blind factory, 30 by\\n60 feet, and four stories high.\\nPrattville is situated fourteen miles from Montgomery, and\\nthe same distance from the Alabama river.

We trust in wholesome food to\\nnourish us we expect shelter from the rain in a sufficient\\nhouse a good crop from a fertile soil, and warmth, usually,\\nfrom clothes.\\nSo in things animate, we expect, usually, labour from the\\nox swiftness from the horse.\\nSo in rational beings we trust in the wise for direction\\nthe faithful that they will speak the truth the holy and\\nrighteous that they will set us a good example. And in a\\ndegree, we always trust in the good, the faithful, the rich, the\\nwise, for help, support, comfort, or needful counsel.\\nTrust is thus allied to expectation but ever distinguished\\nfrom it, in that we expect evil as well as good, but we never\\ntrust in any object for apprehended evil.

But I believe the foundation of an education\\nwhereon was to be built practical usefulness, was as thor-\\noughly laid in those days, as at present, so that those among\\nscholars, who were disposed to improve by their own exer-\\ntion, made thorough men. I entered the school, and found\\nseveral of both sexes, older than myself. I, however, put on\\nas much dignity as I could command, and determined that I\\nwould keep order or run, and succeeded in this respect better\\nthan fear expected, so that when the committee visited the\\nschool at the close, they talked satisfaction, which was suffi-\\ncient for my purpose.\\nI was not satisfied with my own competency to teach as I\\nought, particularly English Grammar; not that any one ques-\\ntioned my directions and explanations, but was not always\\nsatisfied myself in fact, found afterward, that I was not cor-\\nrect.
