or the old John Tabor farm, was born in New Market, on New Market
Neck, this county, June 27th, 1846, a son of Lewis W. and Elmyra S.
(Smith) Channell, his parents both being natives of Rockingham
County. Lewis W. Channell spent his boyhood days in Canada, but
when a young man came here and learned the carpenter's trade, sub-

He and his wife are both deceased and are buried in the old cemetery
at Greenland, K. H. They belonged to the Methodist Church, and in
politics he was first a Whig and later a Republican. Their children
were: Belinda, widow of Nathaniel Wiggin, of Greenland, now deceased ;

years in a men's furnishing store. Having purchased a farm in Green-
land he finally quit the store and went to truck gardening, and has
since then been engaged in farming. For several years he was manager
of his present farm for his brother-in-law. When he first purchased
it, it contained fifty acres, but he has since laid out ten acres of it in
lots. in a subdivision known as Farm Heights, the platting being done
by Leavitt & Woodworth of Boston. On the remaining part of his
farm he does some truck gardening and raises apples, in addition to
general farming. He is a Republican in politics and served as justice
of the peace for several years.
