Eliphalet Dort, second son of Eli and Joanna Newton Dort, was born Mar. 19, 1790 and died Jan. 18, 1869. He married Lois Bemis of Dublin, N. H. She was born Jan. 30, 1792 and died Jan. 15, 1864. They were married Nov. 11, 1811 and lived in Surry on the old homestead. He succeeded to his father's place in the church and community. He was one of the first in the community to purchase the musical instrument known as the melodian, the predecessor of the parlor organ. This instrument was carefully loaded into the wagon every Sunday morning and taken to the church. Its first appearance caused quite a sensation and for years it was looked upon by the community as an item of interest and importance.
