HISTORY OF DUBLIN;           

Mr. Piper removed with his father to Dublin and followed farming until the age of twenty-one. All his opportunities for obtaining an education beyond those enjoyed at his home were afforded by the short common schools of that day, and six weeks at New-Ipswich Academy; at the close of which term he received a certificate from the preceptor, stating that he was "well qualified for teaching an English-grammar school," which he put into practice the following winter. In June, 1810, he went to Boston. On his arrival he immediately engaged himself as clerk to Mr. Benjamin Fessenden, a dealer in wood and other fuel on Sea Street. At the close of the war 1812, he entered into partnership with his employer. Subsequently he purchased the stand, and at the decease of Mr. Fessenden, succeeded to the whole business. He was a member of the Common Council of the city of Boston, representative to the Massachusetts General Court, and for many years was president of the Freeman's Bank.

HISTORY FROM NATHANIEL PIPER AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.

      Solomon Piper moved from Temple to Dublin, N.H. with his parents and worked on the farm until he was of age. His meager amount of country schooling was concluded by six weeks at the Academy at New Ipswich, N.H.
      In June 1810 he went to Boston on foot in pursuit of employment, bearing with him a bundle which contained wardrobe and all his possessions amounting in value to about one hundred dollars.
      On his arrival in Boston, he immediately engaged himself as a clerk to Benjamin Fessenden, a dealer in wood and other fuel on Sea Street. Later, he entered into partnership with his employer and at Mr. Fessenden's death, succeeded to the whole business.
      He was a member of the Boston City Council, representative in the General Court, and for many years was president of the Freeman's Bank of Boston.

HISTORY OF TEMPLE N.H.

      Solomon was engaged in agricultural pursuits with his father, until the age of 21. He had, however, meantime, attended the academy at New Ipswich six weeks, and taught a winter school. At the age of 21, he set off for, and traveled on foot all the way to Boston, with his little effects in a bundle under his arm. This was June, 1810. He commenced business as a clerk, for Mr. Benjamin Fessenden, wood wharfinger on Sea St. In 1815, he became Mr. Fessenden's copartner, and finally succeeding to the whole business, has conducted it with addition, upon the same spot, up to the present time (1859). Whatever success in business has attended Mr. Piper, has been the result, under Providence of constant industry and careful attention, guided by practical good sense, with no attempt to acquire sudden wealth by speculation. He has sustained various offices in the City Government, and for several years was a Representative in the State Legislature. The town of Dublin, where he spent the large portion of his youthful day, has received, in many instances, proofs of his regard. His readiness to afford substantial aid in forwarding the religious and secular progress of the people residing there will long be gratefully remembered.
