VOL.33 NO.4 FARMINGTON, NH APRIL 2012

FROM OUR ARCHIVES '<)08

OUR CONCRETE ROADWAY

Harry F. Howard of Rochester, who has been -m town the past few weeks putting on

sidewalks and concrete roadways, has his work well under way and will probably finish it in

another week. Mr. Howard first laid concrete walks in town thirteen years ago, and has been

here every year save one in the period named. At the present time Farmington probably has

more miles of concrete si.lewalk than any town of this size in this vicinity. On nearly all the

principle thoroughfares f'lcre is a good concrete walk on at least one side of the street and ifwork is continued four 0" five years longer, all the main streets in the village will be equipped

with permanent sidewalk'.

Crosswalks on Main ,Y;,'eet, put in twelve years ago, which were recently removed in the

laying of the new aspha: roadway, were found to be in excellent condition and would have

stood wear many year::: tmger. Two new sections of sidewalk were added, one on Pleasant

Street and the other G~ ~':'.!oolStreet.

Continued on pg 2



r = -1wo years ago, the question of permanent roadway was taken up and the first 470feet were

laid from the bandstand on Central Street to the bridge. Since then it has been extended from

the bridge up Central and Tappan Streets to the bridge over the Mad River. This is an

important step as all passenger traffic in and out of Farmington over the Boston and Maine

line has to pass over this pieceof road.

State Engineer Dean decided itwould be better to continue the concrete road than to attemptthe macadamized roads as the latter are more expensive to keep up.. He believes it is best to

continue the asphalt macadam road from the square to the Opera House. Mr. Howard has

endeavored to establish a grade that will give proper elevation to sidewalks and corners of

streets, thus giving the street a wider appearance and improving the looks of property on both

sides.

If you stand on the square and look up Main Street, you will see it has a more artistic

appearance than ever before, and this will be further improved as the gutters are cleaned up

and cobblestones laid, which will be done in the near future

Mr. Howard is satisfied that with the materials used, the roadway should last 25 years.

greener when you give it the bene-

fit of a drip irrigation system.

Drip irrigurlon is the process of

applying the appropriate amount

of water slowly. evenly and effi-

ciently to the rout area of plants.This promotes proper soil moisture

levels and healthy plant growth.

With drip irrigation, you have

the flexibility to create a drip

design to meet the watering needs

of your landscape areas. A drip

line is easy to use by simply plac-

ing it in your planting area. When

equipped with professional-grade

emitter tubing, the system waters

plants uniformly.

ADrip Line System

• Prevents weeds by watering

each plant's root zone-not the

surrounding soil ..

• Encourages faster growth by

applying moisture directly to the

root area

• Promotes longer-lastingblooms by properly water-ing

plants for optimum health

• Creates healthier plants by

keeping water off foliage so fungi

cannot form

• Saves water by irrigating in

precise areas where necessary-

eliminating overspray on sidewalks

and fences with less evaporation.

It helps to group plants by sim-

ilar watering needs. When select-

ing plants, take into consideration

the amount of sunlight certain

planting areas receive.

Watering Tips

• Trees should be watered

enough to penetrate the soil to a

depth of at least 18 inches. New

trees require more water at the

base than established ones.

Watering right can help you save

money,the environment and your

plantings.

• It is important to remember

that too much water can kill a

plant as easily as too little water.

Overwatering prevents roots from

getting the oxygen they need tostay healthy .

• Proper pressure regulation

and system filtration are musts

for a successful drip installation

and effective system operation.

The Landscape Dripline System

from Rain Bird makes it easy with

both a pressure regulator and fil-tel' in the water connection and

drip kits. This versatile system is

simple to cut, connect and place

without digging. It conforms to

your landscaping and can bestaked and covered with mulch.

It's also important to flush the

system periodically.

dening and irrigating tips online

MORE WINNING ESSAYSCELEBRATING HENRY WiLSON'S 200TH

2nd Place- grades 4-5 Allison Bisson

I do not think that Henry Wilson got the fame he deserved, When we were assigned this essayI noticed that most of my class (including me) didn't really know a lot about him. If you think

about it, President Lincoln would not have passed the Emancipation Proclamation if Henry

Wilson didn't push him to do it.

Henry Wilson made it very far in life without a very good education. He was 10 years old

when he was pulled out of school to work on a farm. When he became older he traveled to

Washington DC to see the federal government. When he sawall the slaves working, hededicated himself to the antislavery movement. He worked really hard to end slavery but

didn't get a lot of recognition.

I think Henry should be better known in American history. His contributions to all

Americans were very important but understated. People should really know more about him

and what he did for the American people. That is why I think Henry Wilson should be more

famous.

2nd Place- grade 6 Alyson Brannan

As you might know, Henry Wilson was born Jeremiah .Jones Colbath. Henry was born on

Feb. 16, 1812 in Farmington, NH. Henry was named this in hopes the man he was named after

would leave him some money when he died. Henry disliked this name and its purpose so whenhe was 21 years old, he changed it to Henry Wilson. Later on Henry Wilson became vice-

president of the United States.

When Henry was little his father sent him to work for a farmer that IiYCdnext door, Henry

worked for this farmer until he was 21 years old. When he was allowed to leave, he went to

Massachusetts and changed his name. After that he went to work in a shoe factory,

Later on in life Wilson wanted to become a part of Congress but he was unsuccessful. He wasalso unsuccessful for governor of Massachusetts.

One day Wilson saw slaves working in the fields and being sold at auctions. This almost

instantly triggered a flashback to Wilson's childhood where he had felt just like a slave himself

while working for the farmer next door. This was when Wilson started urging PresidentLincoln to officially end all slavery. Unfortunately this did not go over well. The southern

states did not like the idea of losing their slaves and having to do the work themselves, so ther

fought but eventually lost and they lost their slaves. After Abraham Lincoln died, Wilson

worked for Ulysses Grant.

If Henry Wilson were still alive, he would be 200 years old on Feb. 16,2012 but of course no

one can live that long. Wilson died in office on November 22, 1875 after having his second

stroke. Even though Henry Wilson died many years ago, we still remember and honor him to

this day and I for one am very proud of our old vice-president for what he believed in and howhe was determined to succeed.

More essays next month. Thanks to John Nolan and the Farmington Historical Society for

raising awareness of Farmington's famous son.
