   OLIVER A. FLEMING, owner and proprietor of a furniture and
undertaking business in Exeter, N. H., and one of the prosperous
merchants of this town, was born at Hampton Falls, in 1843, a son
of David and Eunice (Williams) Fleming. His father, who was a miller,
was a native of England; his mother was born in Hampton Falls. Of
their children Oliver A. is the only one now living. He was educated
in the public schools at Exeter and then learned the harness maker's
trade, which he followed for some years. About twenty-five years ago
he started in his present line of business, in which he has been success-
ful, employing from two to three men all the time. A Free Mason, he
belongs to the Blue Lodge, Chapter and Council at Exeter and to the
Commandery at Portsmouth. He also belongs to the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows.
   Mr. Fleming married Miss Annie W. Robinson, a native of Exeter
and daughter of Charles and Annie (Colcord) Robinson. He and his
wife have many friends in Exeter and the vicinity and take an active
part in the pleasant social life of the town. Enterprising and industrious,
and with good business ability, he is one of Exeter's substantial citizens.
