CARPENTERS. DAVID MORSE was a carpenter and house joiner, but did several kinds of work beside. He was from Sherburne, Mass., and was among the early settlers in Livermore. He moved to Lexington, Somerset County, many years ago, where he was a justice of the peace. He was a man of great ingenuity. His terms were six shillings a day for joiner work, seven shillings for mason work, and eight shillings for mill work." Jonathan Morse, the blacksmith, was his brother. His residence was in the south part of the town, on the old main road, near his brother. Col. Elias Morse, also a carpenter, was his son. The place is now owned by Ira A Thompson and Lysander Fernald. There were carpenters and joiners in town page 45 before Mr. Morse, as there were several during his time, and have been many since. Before him were THOMAS WING, who was, also, a mill-wright, and ISAIAH KEITH. EBENEZER HINDS, JR., came after him and did a good deal of work here in the early part of the century. He was from Freetown, Mass., where he was born Oct. 14,1775, and arrived in Livermore in July, 1801. He had twelve children, viz.: Ebenezer, Salome, Gilbert, Amy, Maria, Hannah, -Leonard, Clarissa, Albert, Elbridge P., and Elbridge C., all of whom except Elbridge P., who died in infancy, are now (1873) living. He gave the first Republican vote cast in the town. NATHANIEL SOPER, ABNER HOLMAN, and SAMUEL P. HOLMAN were much employed as carpenters and joiners, as was OBRDEDOM BROWN, who possessed Something of the humor of Artemus Ward, to whom he was uncle. In face, and particularly in expression, Ile bore a strong resemblance to Charles Dickens, the novelist.
