Sutliff. CHAPTER FIRST. In 'Ifnreh, 1818, the first settlers ar rived. They were Ephraim Wilcox, Charles Sweet, John Clifford, Joseph Wilson and William T. Welling, of Ilorkshire county, Massachusetts. They left that place in February with packs and tools loaded upor. a cutter drawn by one horse. One man drove while the others walked. In March they reached Grafton, the moBt advanced outpost in the direction of "their lands. They at once commenced cutting a trail to Township No. 3, of Range 18, and entered the township at the north east corner and thence made their way to the center lots. They reached their place of destination in the latter part of March at nightfall, and camped for the night. The next day they com menced nd nearly completed a- tem porary enhin, which was to be their home for weary months. Tt was erect ed near the corner of lots 21, 22, 27 and 2', upon the ground where ihe house of J. T. Nickles dow stands, better known as the Tianning property, a little south of J. W. Houghton's drug store. They made benches for chairs, mat tresses of dried leaves for beds, and placed them upon bedsteads made by driving four crotched rticks Into the ground, with stringers stretching from stake to stake, and white ook snaftes crossing from stringer (9 stringer. On these the rude mattresses were laid; but these rude beds soon gave place to more luxurious couches, made by the pioneer with ax and augur, consisting of four posts, four straight poles for the sides, and foot rails extending from post to post of requisite length, Insert ed in augur holes, and interwoven with h.isswood bark, which mntil "the bark (rot too dry and brittle made a bed a king might envy if prepared for Its en joyment by the toils of pioneer life. Their temporary cabin completed, they at once commenced work upon their lands, finding them by the sur veyor's plat and the marks upon the corner stakes of the lots Ephraim Wilcox on lot 2S; John Clifford on lot Hi; Joseph Wilson on lot 14 and Charles !weet for Frederick Hamlin on lot 27. Tty the first of April 'the ringing of tlie woodman's ax and the crush of fall ing iimber gave token of the advent of 'ivili.ntion, of the dawn of that strug gle which was to plant the institutions of New England In the forest, which It ook a generation to complete. On the fourth day of July of that year they were joined by the family of KphraTin Wilcox, consisting of wife and I'hSWh Also by Theodore Wilcox and sister, His Caroline. Also by Dr. Dan iel J. Hohns, Frederick Hamlin and Austin Kingsbury. The log house waa ready for their re ception, into which they were received on this glad fourth of July, after a sep aration of five months, passed by the husband and father in the depths of the forest, far from the sound of wo man's voice or Children's prattle. These were the first white women in Wellington. y t .T ff T V ffTTfffT. We want Money! We have just secured a big consignment of Buggies, Wagons, .
