Lane Genealogies, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Lane Genealogies, Vol. 3
January 1, 1862, he married Mary C., daughter of C. M. And Dolly (pillsbury) F rench, who survives him. Before study at Ban gor he taught in schools and academy in Maine and Massachusetts, served two terms of three months each on the Christian Commis sion in the civil war, and was on school boards wherever he was pastor. As one of the School Board, Mr. Fitts wrote the annual reports, and the esteem felt for him was manifested by the attend ance on his funeral at his church in Newfields, of the schools as a body, and their provision for his picture to be placed in the school building. In 1895 Mr. Fitts represented the town in the state legislature, and was influential in changing its name from South Newmarket to N ewfields, the early designation of the southerly portion of the town of Newmarket a century or more before its division. This change was influenced by a legacy of from Hon. John M. Brodhead, son of Rev. John Brodhead, to the town for a library on condition of such change. Mr. Fitts was a trustee of this fund. He was a member of the New England Historic Genealogical and the New Hampshire Historical Societies, and of several missionary societies, and for thirteen years was scribe of the Piscataqua Association of Congregational and Presbyterian ministers. A writer of various historical and commemorative discourses, and an indefatigable investigator and successful collector of the facts of local history, perhaps no one man ever knew so much of the local history of south-eastern New Hampshire and contiguous parts of Massachusetts and Maine as did Mr. Fitts. It is hoped that the mass of manuscript information he left may be given to the public or preserved for future use. In the course of his researches he took genealogical notes of the Hilton, Wiggin and other historical families of south-eastern New Hampshire, which are esteemed of great value by some of their descendants and kindred.
