  Seth Eastman was a student at Newbury Seminary, but in 1861 at the age of 17, responded to his country's call and enlisted in Co. B, 6th Regt. Vt. Vol., Col. Nathan Lord.
  Seth Was a great strapping, farm-bred boy, could march all day on antediluvian hard tack, and awake refreshed after a good night's sleep in a mud puddle. He was badly wounded in the leg at Savage Station, June 29, 1862, laid all night beside the road, and the next day witnessed the advance of Lee' s army along the turnpike, and a portion of the battle of Malvern Hills. He laid three days on the battle field, before be was picked up by the Johnnies and sent to Richmond on a freight car. The wound was never dressed by a surgeon, and he still carries rebel lead in his leg. He was sent first to Libbey prison, and then to Belle Isle, where after three months he was paroled.
  The provisions were barely sufficient to sustain life and consisted for the most part of corn bread and river water, and occasionally a liquid compound flavored with worms, called bean soup. In three months be was reduced from 150 pounds to a walking skeleton of 90 pounds of skin and bones. When paroled he was bare headed and bare foot and wore nothing but a tattered shirt and trowsers. Fortunately at Alexandria he met a squad of Topsham men, going to the front and they supplied him with clothing and perhaps saved his life. He rejoined his regiment at Hagerstown, Md., in September, 1862, and was exchanged six months later.
  He was with the old Sixth during the last grand advance on Richmond, including the red deluge of Spottsylvania bloody angle, and the Wilderness. At Spottsylvania his company came out of the battle with 13 muskets, Co. F with 4, and the regiment with 94.
  In 1866 be commenced reading medicine with Dr. Geo. K. Bayley and continued two years, after which be spent a year in the office of  Dr. G. H. Plumley of Montpelier, graduating in January, 1869. According to another source, ". . . . he graduated from the Pennsylvania Medical School, Jan 9, 1869, and practiced medicine according to that school for fourteen years, and being dissatisfied with that system, he took the degree from Dartmouth, from which he graduated in the class of 1884". He located in Groton soon after [1869,] and remained  [there] in practice. During his experience of 26 years he notes a more careful observance of sanitary laws, and consequently fewer cases of typhoid and diphtheria, and that diseases peculiar to children are less frequent and fatal than formerly. Dr. Eastman is a member of the White Mountain Medical society, and the U. S. examining board for pensions. both students at Vermont M. E. Seminary, Montpelier.
  Dr. Eastman was a member of Sherman Lodge, No. 72, F. & A. M., of Topsham and atfter that was a member of Col. Preston Post, No, 6. G. A. R. He was selectman, was nine years superintendent of schools and as a democrat represented Groton in the Vermont legislature in 1890.
  Dr. Eastman and his family were described as zealous Methodists.

  Buelahs' parents separated while she was growing up. At the time she was graduating from Bethlehem high school she was living with her father in Bethlehem NH. At this time her older sister, Alice, was either living with their mother or out on her own. Buelah's valedictory speech for the class of 1899 was on "Burden Bearing". Her graduating class was only about 5 people. She apparently kept house for her father. There is the story about the blueberry pie that she made once. She used dried blueberries or something like that and after it was baked the pie rattled. She took the pie to a neighbor for help. The neighbor showed her how to cut it open, moisten the berries, and reseal the pie. Her father, Charles, died while she was living with him. Beulah reportedtly found him slumped over the wood pile in the kitchen one morning.
