MOSES E. DOW.

"Emery" Dow was born in that part of Pittsfield known as Dowboro. About 1849
his father moved to the village, where at first he kept a store, and later
owned a livery stable. Emery developed a love for horses, which determined
his occupation. When the war broke out he wanted to go into the cavalry, so
when the New England cavalry was organized he joined the New Hampshire
battalion of that regiment, and was mustered in as a private, December 24,
1861, in Troop M. A few months later he was promoted to be corporal, and was
discharged for disability January 2, 1863. His father was Moses Dow, his
mother before marriage was Betsey Jones. His home is in Center Harbor, N. H.
