   WARREN M. THYNG, one of the representative men of the town
of Brentwood, the owner of a good farm, who has also taken a prominent
part in local affairs, was born in this town, March 5, 1863, a son of
Samuel and Julia M. (Robinson) Thyng. His immigrant ancestors came
to this country from England at an early day, settling first in Exeter,
N. H., from which place they came to Brentwood. The father of our
subject, Samuel Thyng, was born November 1, 1821, and died Novem-
ber 30, 1887, at the age of sixty-six years. The mother was also born
in Brentwood, January 14, 1823 and died April 28, 1896, at the age of
seventy-three. They had six children, of whom Warren M. was the
fifth in order of birth.
   Warren M. Thyng at the age of seven years began attending the
district school, walking there and back, a distance of a mile and a half
each way. He continued his attendance until he was seventeen, at which

time he was placed under the care of a private tutor, a Mr. Taylor.
He remained at home and worked on his father's farm until he was
nineteen years old, when he secured a position in a steam mill at $1.50
per day, and was thus occupied for two years. He then became turnkey
at the county jail at Exeter and was there four years. Being then
needed at home, on account of his father's death, he returned and took
charge of the farm, on which he has since resided. The house in which
he lives, and in which his father and grandfather lived before him, was
built over 200 years ago, and is still in a good state of preservation.
The old well, 30 feet deep, has been known locally for the last 200
years as "The Old Oaken Bucket." From the house, which stands
on a considerable elevation, a fine view of the surrounding country and
the distant mountains can be seen.
   A Republican in politics, Mr. Thyng has served as road agent for
ten years; he has also been selectman three years, chairman one; a mem-
her of the school board, 3 years, chairman one, and delegate to county
conventions. In 1913 he was nominated on the Republican ticket as
representative, but was defeated by the Democrats and Progressives
uniting.
   On May 30, 1887, Mr. Thyng was married to Euleta M. Page,
daughter of Simon and Elizabeth Page, of Raymond, N. H., her father
being a prominent farmer of that place, of which he and his wife were
natives. Both are now deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Thyng have three
children: Ralph S., now twenty-two years old, who is single and resides
in Brentwood; Chester W., twenty years old, and Paul H., sixteen. The
family attend the Baptist church, Mrs. Thyng being a member of the
Ladies' Baptist Union and secretary and treasurer for six years.
