  History	1907  [7]
  He was interviewed for the Newton Genealogy, and wrote""I wanted a blacksmith's trade ; my father would not suffer it. I told him that was the only trade I wanted; but he would not let me go while I was a minor, and said I had no ingenuity whatever, and kept me on the farm. When I was 21 I felt discouraged. I told them, then, that if I ever had any boys and they wanted a trade they should have it. I stopped around home a few years; got married; my wife had friends in Massachusetts and we moved to Greenwich, Mass., where I worked at farming five or six years—the last year doing some carpenter work. Hearing of a shop in North Dana, Mass., where they made piano legs, employing about fifty hands, I went there and worked on the job three years. The dust affected me so that I began to cough and the doctor said' I must leave the shop. I left it for a year—went back for ten months, then left it and staid out. I then bought a stage line from North Dana to Barre, a distance of twelve miles. I ran this line between nine and ten years, carried the U. S. Mail, and did well in the business; bought a small farm and left the stage business. About a mile from me a creamery was started at Millington. I took the route of gathering cream three days in the week, which business I followed for ten years; retired from that and have lived on my place ever since, sometimes alone, sometimes I have a family with me. I hope I have enough to carry me through the remaining years of my life"
