MILLSFIELD

The surface of this town is uneven; the soil is trong and when
cultivated is quite productive.  The climate is cold and settlements
have not been made here to any considerable extent, although there are
a few good farms.  

This town was granted to Sir Thomas Mills, George Boyd and others,
March 1, 1774.

In 1858 there was but one house in town.  In 1870, there were
twenty-eight inhabitants; in 1880, sixty-two with a valuation of
nearly sixty thousand dollars; in 1887 thirteen families were resident.

There is only one person in town who takes interest in town matters
to keep any record thereof, and that person is a lady.  She records
all deaths, births and marriages, and sends copies of the record to
secretary of state at Concord (as town clerks are required to do),
and all without any compensation.  Millsfield contains
twenty-three thousand acres, but the northern part is mountainous.
Clear streams water its northern extremity, and Phillips river
with several smaller streams the other parts of the town.
It is bounded north by Dixville, east by Errol, south by Dummer,
west by Odell and Dixville.
