• Notes

  Mr. Phineas Carleton was a man of retiring habits and methodical ways, who disliked and avoided the bustle and display attendant upon public position. It appears, however, that he joined the well-knownFire Society, January 1814. He was a merchant on Water Street for manyyears, retiring from active business about 1840. He attained considerable celebrity as a manufacturing jeweler, his silverware being famous, far and near, for its solidity and workmanship. An obituary notice of Mr. Carleton, published in the Haverhill Gazette, concludes: " He bore a reputation for unbending integrity and untarnished honor, which gained for him the respect and confidence of the community."
