Sawmill

 

The Scotch and Irish were the first white settlers in the area moving from the Londonderry settlement in 1719 because they were dissatisfied with the land they occupied there. The first white settler in the Manchester area was John Goffe in 1722 who acquired land on the north bank of the Cohas Brook at its junction with the Merrimack River.

 

Several years later John Goffe built a dam across Cohas Brook and constructed and operated a sawmill. A new dam is now located in the area of the old mill off of Brown Avenue. Pine Island Pond is located behind the dam.

 

 

 

 

 

"Health, wealth and happiness" are the three blessings most desired by the human race. Without the first the others cannot be realized, and thus the preservation of health becomes the most important factor in man's existence. To keep well, by a strict observance of nature's laws, is the modern interpretation of the health problem. More attention is being paid to what we eat and drink, the air that we breathe and the exercise we take, with a view to keeping the body in perfect tune, than to medical methods of restoring health when it has been lost.

 

It is universally admitted that pure water and pure air are the two most important factors tending to keep one in perfect bodily condition.
