lives. Mrs. B. d. there May 8, 1868. A dau. of Mr. B. gives a graphic
description of the privations and hardships of many early settlers. "It was
almost impossible to get work of any kind. Father worked one month for a Mr.
Ellsworth for thirteen dollars and board. Money was scarce and hard to get.
One year his taxes were seventy- five cents and he worked three days
splitting rails for the money to pay them. At that time he had wheat and
corn to sell and paid three bushels of wheat for jumping his ax to split
rails with.
Salt was six cents per pound, and not always to be had at that; other things
in proportion. Every one wanted to buy but few had anything to sell, but in
a few years every one had plenty of produce to sell but few wanted to buy. A
bushel of corn was worth just two pounds of salt, and five bushels of wheat
a pound of tea. Pork was plenty for it could be fattened in the woods, and
maple sugar was made in abundance. Sugar parties in their season were a
great institution. They would go miles through the woods with ox teams to
such gatherings and eat their sugar with wooden spoons made for the
occasion." Mr. B. was a cabinetmaker. In politics he is a republican.
