WALTER ENGLAND, * proprietor of "The Maples," a fine agricultural tract 
situated on the corner of Oak and Cocheco streets, Dover, N.H., is one of the
well known men of this section, practically all of his life having been 
passed in Strafford county.  He was born near Gonic, N.H., February 13, 1859, 
and is a son of Michael and Phebe J. (Roberts) England.
	Michael England was born in England and was 18 years old when he came
to the United States, shortly afterward securing employment in a cotton mill
at Salmon falls, N.H., where he continued to work for several years.  He 
then moved to Gonic and in that vicinity was engaged in farming until his 
death, which occurred early in the seventies.  He married Phebe J. Roberts, 
who was born in Strafford county, N.H., and of their children the following 
survive:  Sarah A., who is the widow of Walter Wiggin, a former resident of 
Newmarket, N.H., she now living at Dover; William H., who is a resident of 
Lowell, Mass.; George W., whose home is at Amesburg, Mass.; Walter, who lives
at Dover; and Freeman, who is a resident of Gonic.
	Walter England attended the public schools until he was about 15 
years of age, at which time his father died.  He worked as a farmer for 
others until he was 17 years old.  He then went to Rollinsford and in the 
following year began to farm on his own responsibility.  He continued a 
farmer there for over a quarter of a century and then located on his present 
place.  As a good citizen, Mr. England has been interested in the substantial 
development of Strafford county at all times but has never consented to 
accept any public office.  In his political views he is a Democrat.
