      WILLIAM P. BARTLETT, one of the representative business men of
Exeter, for the past thirteen years has been engaged here in the grocery and
provison trade and through enterprising methods and reliable goods has built
up a large and very satisfactory trade. He is well known over Rockingham
County, in which section of New Hampshire he has resided for the last thirty
years. He was born at Salisbury, Mass., March 2, 1863, and is a son of
James P. and Priscilla (Jewell) Bartlett.
      James P. Bartlett was born and reared in Massachusetts. For a number
of years he followed the trade of a shoemaker in his native state, but later in
life removed to Rockingham County, N. H. He married Priscilla Jewell,
who was born in Maine, and they had the following children: Francis L.;
Bessie H., who is the widow of David M. Quimby; Annie L. and William P.
They were members of the Congregational church. They were highly re-
spected residents of Kensington, where their death and burial took place.
      William P. Bartlett attended the public schools until old enough to become
self-supporting, when he became a clerk in a grocery and provision store and
during eighteen years in this connection he learned every necessary detail of
the business and embarked in the same for himself understandingly, and
through buying prudently and selling honestly he has secured public confidence
and a large degree of prosperity for himself.  
      In November, 1888, Mr. Bartlett was united in marriage with Miss Sarah
A. Shaw, who is a native of Kensington, N. H., and a daughter of Thomas C.
and Charlotte Shaw. She has two sisters: Ella, who is the wife of Philip
Quimby, and Lottie. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett attend the Baptist church. As
was his father, Mr. Bartlett is a republican in his political views. For a
number of years he has been a member of the Odd Fellows and the Knights
of Pythias.
