   FRED A. DAY, who is engaged in general farming and dairying
on a farm of 140 acres, situated in the town of Portsmouth, Rocking-
ham County, N. H., was born In Kennebunk, Me., August 18, 1867. His
father, Hobbs Perkins Day, and his mother, Mrs. Georgia (Fiske) Day,
were both natives of Kennebunk, the father being a ship carpenter by
occupation. Both are now deceased. They were progressive, indus-
trious people, well liked by their neighbors, and were members of the
Unitarian Church. The subject of this sketch was their only child.
Fred A. Day attended school in Kennebunk until fifteen years of
age. He then began industrial life as a worker in shoe factories, and
remained thus employed for twenty-five years. He was twenty years
old when he came to Rockingham County and for twenty-two years
he worked in a shoe shop in Portsmouth. He then rented a farm ad-
joining his present one and operated it for five years, after which he
bought his present farm from Hanson Seavey. He keeps about twenty-
five head of cattle and employs two hands all of the time. His milk
and other products find a ready market and he is doing a prosperous
business. He is a Republican in politics and takes a good citizen's in-
terest in the growth and development of his adopted town.
   Mr. Day was married November 7, 1887, to Miss Mary Cousens, a
native of Kennebunk, and daughter of William and Ruth (Clough)
Cousens, her parents being Maine people, and her father a ship car-
penter by trade. They attended the Baptist Church. Their family
consisted of two children-Charles and Mary. Mr. and Mrs. Day are
the parents of seven children, Georgie, Marion, Ralph, Florence, Helen,
Ruth and Edith. The family attend the Baptist Church and Mr. Day
belongs to the Odd Fellows' Lodge at Portsmouth.
