George was born in Nelson, on September 18, 1933, the son of Don L. and Grace (Towne) Warner. After attending Nelson schools he went to work helping his family in their firewood business. At the age of sixteen, he began working part time for the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation on the Road Recovery and Improvements crew. On February 23, 1958 George married Joan A. Murdough in a service in Nelson. That same year George was hired as a full time employee of the NH DOT. He retired in 1991 after serving for more than 42 years as a member of the road crew in the Nelson District. After his retirement from the NH DOT, George served as Town Sexton and custodian for the Nelson Congregational Church. He also kept busy doing odd jobs for folks in town. He was always working to support his family. The members of the Nelson Select Board wish to acknowledge with appreciation the many years of dedicated service that George gave to the Town of Nelson. Those of us who knew George will all agree that he was a good neighbor and a good man. -

CHAPTER XVII. RAILROAD AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. 1841-1860. On the 4th of March, 1841, the Whigs of Keene fired a salute of one hundred and fifty guns in honor of the inauguration of William Henry Harrison as president of the United States. The Sentinel of April 7, shaded with heavy black lines, announced his death. A meeting of the citizens of Keene nominated Charles L. Putnam, a young lawyer who had recently come to town, for postmaster under the new administration. He was appointed, and the office was removed to the first door south of the Cheshire House. For a long term of years, down to about 1850, Elec tion Day-the first Wednesday in June, the day of the meeting of the legislature-was a very enjoyable holiday. This year it was celebrated by a gathering of 1,000 to 1,200 persons, pupils of the district schools and others, on the banks of the Ashuelot river, where they indulged in a feast of "'lection cake," listened to speeches and music, and spent the day in social enjoyment. On the same afternoon, Gen. James Wilson, who had been appointed surveyor general of Wisconsin .and Iowa territories, was given a complimentary dinner at the Chesh ire House, previous to his departure for the West. Hon. Thomas M. Edwards presided, Gen. Wilson made an ele gant speech, toasts were drunk, and other short speeches were made. The valley road up the Ashuelot river from Gilsum to Marlow was opened this year, 1841, connecting with the Beaver brook road, built in 1837, from Keene to Gilsum, and giving an easy and pleasant route to Newport, thirty three miles. -

Biographical Sketches OF PROMINENT PERSONS WHO WERE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN OF KEENE, OR, LIVING ELSEWHERE, WERE IN SOME WAY IDENTIFIED WITH THE TOWN. DANIEL ADAMS. Dr. Daniel Adams was born in Lincoln, Mass, in 1766; studied medicine with Dr. Gowen, of Weston, Mass.; re ceived the degree of M. D. in 1788; in the same year married Mrs. Sarah, widow of Gen. John Apdaile, of the British army. from Newcastle-on-Tyne, daughter of Benj. Goldthwaite 1 of Boston, and soon afterwards came to Keene. Their journey was made on horseback, and the sidesaddle and whip used by Mrs. Adams are still pre served by the family. At first they lived in the Dunbar, or "plastered" house, on Main street. He afterwards owned and occupied-doubtless built-the colonial house now No. 324 Main street, and died there in 1830. Mrs. Adams died in 1848. They had but one child, Charles Goldthwaite Adams. Dr.. Adams was a druggist and apothecary as well as physician, and prepared his own medicines. He took high rank in his profession, in which he was exceedingly apt and skilful, and for about forty years was a leading man in the town and county. Most of his earlier visits were made on horseback, and he was one of the first to use a wheeled vehicle. He was the third United States postmaster in Keene, receiving his appointment in 1799. In 1805, and for several years afterwards, he published the Medical and Agricultural Register. lAnother daughter of Mr. Goldthwaite married Major George Ingersoll (see Ingersoll sketch), and still another, as his second wife, married Dea. -
Part Vii: 1826-1840 68
PART VII: 1826-1840 An event of historical significance took place in 1826 with the publication of the town's first history. Salma Hale's Annals of Keene traced the community's development from its settlement to 1790, after which date the author wrote, "but few, if any, events have occurred, which would be interesting or instructive." Hale compiled the 69-page historical record at the request of several citizens of Keene and the newly-founded New Hampshire Historical Society in whose Collections the work first appeared. Jacob B. Moore of Concord printed it, and the annual town meeting voted to procure 400 copies for the local demand, "provided that the expense does not exceed 50 dollars." The original edition of the Annals contained many typographical errors, was very brief and omitted mention of several notable events. Nevertheless, it was an important historical sketch and proved popular. Interest in the work prompted requests for a further account, and in 1848 Hale was prevailed upon to bring out a new edition, printed in Keene in 1851, which corrected previous errors, continued the history to 1815, and included valuable maps of the village in 1750, 1800, and 1850. Hale had acquired some reputation as a writer with an English grammar he wrote at the age of 17. Active in state and local organiza- tions, he was also a trustee of Dartmouth College and the University of Vermont, and a congressman from 1817 to 1819. About the time the Annals first appeared his History of the United States was published. This won a prize and a gold medal from the American Academy of Languages and Belles Lettres and saw many editions published in Keene, New York, and London. -

I was even more curious when I saw the date, March 1853. A check of key sources pertaining to nineteenth century Mount Katahdin ascents revealed no reference to this ascent. The writer’s focus was not about the climb and he did not sign his work, but he did provide clues to his route and who he was. In this document I used those clues in making a circumstantial case for a particular route and the climber’s identity. -
A History of the Town of Keene [New Hampshire] from 1732, When The
CHAPTER XVI. TOWN AFFAIRS. 1826-1840. The controversy between the Unitarians and the Or thodox Congregationalists in Keene entered into all the affairs of life to an extent that would seem incredible at the present day, and created much bitterness-in some cases even between those who had been the warmest friends. 1 At the annual meeting in 1826, Hon. Salma Hale. from the committee appointed in 1825 to devise some sat isfactory method of disposing of the meetinghouse, reported that several meetings of the committee had been held, but nothing had been accomplished. The town then voted to allow the Keene Congregational Society to use the edifice thirteen Sundays during the year ensuing, the particular Sundays to be designated by the selectmen; and that after that term, the selectmen then in office should fix the num ber of Sundays to be used by that society for four years following. In compliance with that vote the selectmen designated eighty-three Sundays in the four years beginning in June, 1827, on which the edifice might be used by that society. During this year the first edition of the .. Annals of the Towb of Keene, from its first settlement in 1734 to the year 1790," by Hon. Salma Hale, was published by Moore. of Concord, N. H. They" were compiled at the request of the New Hampshire Historical Society," of which Mr. Hale was an active member, "and of several citizens of Keene."2 At the annual meeting the town voted to instruct the selectmen to procure 400 copies of that work and distrib ute among the inhabitants, .
