INDEX

[14477] "The Chester Advertiser [Chester, Vermont], 30 September 1899," p. 1: "Henry K. Whitcomb died at his home, No. 10 Orchard St., Sept. 19, 1899, at 9 o'clock a. m., passing away in his chair without struggle. The funeral was Thursday, the 23d, at his home at 10 o'clock a. m. He was born in Boston in 1810, and was two years old when his father, Shubael Whitcomb, moved here on the old Whitcomb farm, now owned by W. D. Whitcomb. He was a carpenter and builder, and learned his trade in Boston and worked there some years. He had been three times to California, and worked at building in San Francisco during the golden days of the 50s. Mr. Whitcomb was one of the oldest persons in town, being in his ninetieth year. His funeral was largely attended and the internment was in the old cemetery. Mr. Whitcomb was a frequent contributor to the columns of the REPORTER and only the day before he died was in the office with the following reminiscences: My Early Life: We landed here June, 1812 on the common, which was at that time the business part of the town. The town business was all done at the old meeting house. At that time we had a school house with an attendance numbering about a hundred scholars. There were four families living on the Common at that time, the late Baxter Bragg of the Confederate army was the son of Will Bragg and was born on the farm. The cemetery at that time numbered about one hundred bodies and now numbers about three thousand. We made a neighborhood of six families, two Revolutionary soldiers, two ministers, two sea faring men, one carpenter. Four were Massachusetts families. Mr. Bates married a widow and all the rest married maiden girls. Never any of them were married but once, except the widow Bates. The women all outlived their husbands. Mother outlived father sixteen years. Mrs. Jacob Whitcomb outlived her husband six years; Mrs. Lyndes outlived her husband twenty-four years; Mrs. Marble outlived her husband thirty-four years; Mrs. Smiley outlived her husband two years; Mrs. Bates outlived her husband twenty-eight years. The only farm left is the Whitcomb farm, all the others having passed into other hands. The Whitcomb farm has grown from sixty-five acres to two hundred acres. It is now run by the third and fourth generation. I am the only one alive out of the first and second generation. In 1816 there were born in this village two little girls who grew up to womanhood, attended the same school and sang in the same church. One is yet living, the wife of Rev. G. W. Bailey, the other was Mrs. Henry Whitcomb who died five years ago."
