230 MISCELLANEOUS. ' EARLIEST RECORD. On page 30 of this volume, reference is made to the purchase of an engine at the Lower Falls in 1808. After this portion of the volume had • been printed, the following document relating thereto was found: — " We the subscribers hereby agree to become proprietors of Engine No. 1, which is ever to be located at some convenient place at the Lower Falls, so called, and to be promptly and readily used by enginemen in protecting and preservingall property situated within a distance where it can possibly be useful. i ' We further agree that there shall be one hundred shares in said engine, at the sum of five dollars for each share, and that each share be entitled to one vote in regulating said engine, and further promise that we will take and pay for, at that sum, as many shares as are set against our names, the said sums to be paid to Peter Lyon, upon his giving us a certificate in the following words : — "This is to certify that A B is one of the proprietors of the engine at the Lower Falls, and that he has taken and paid for Samuel Brown shares. 20 shares. Simon Elliot ' Jo shares.
MISCELLANEOUS. 231 Peter Lyon Solomon Curtis Moses Grant, Jr., & Co 20 shares. 5 shares. 5 shares. Proprietors <strong>Newton</strong> Wire Factory, 5 shares. Samuel Stimson Henry Bartlett Isaac Hagar Edward Fisher John Ware Ehenezer Starr 2 shares. 1 shares. 2 shares. 2 shares. 1 shares. 2 shares." This is the earliest record, and probably was the first action taken relative to the fire department of <strong>Newton</strong>. All the stockholders were not residents of the Lower Falls. General Simon Elliot was a resident of the Upper Falls, where he owned snuff and other mills on the site of the present silkmills, on Elliot Street, which was named in his honor. He also owned a snuff-mill and an interest in a paper-mill at the Lower Falls. He formerly resided in Boston, where he was a fireward in 1800 and a few years following. He was a wealthy tobacconist, with warehouses on Long Wharf, which were burned September 30, 1780. Moses Grant, Jr., & Co. was a Boston paper concern, which then owned what is now Crehore's mills. John Ware built the first paper-mill in this village, in 1790.
