"Settlers and Homesteads of Brainardsville: A Tale of Industry and Enterprise"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
by James Morrison, based on "Early Brainardsville History", by Oscar F. Chase In Vermont they settled, my kin of old Then westward they migrated, their story told Bangor in New York, where they did reside In eighteen thirty, with family by their side
In eighteen thirty-seven, I was born In Bangor, where I drew my first breath at dawn In eighteen forty-three, we moved away To East Bellmont, where we planned to stay
Tumblr media
Stopping at my sister's, the farm now owned By James Wright, where her log house was honed Then we moved north to Chateaugay's dense woods Where our neighbors were scarce, our hopes understood
Amid the woods and the wilds we built anew With every hand helping, our spirits grew The days spent there, were as happy as can be In my memory, they remain dear to me
Tumblr media
Through the experience of my father and peers A school district formed, to lessen our fears The first schoolhouse built on Jacob Kennison's land Abram his son, our first teacher, in command
Miss Eliza Merrill taught our first class Followed by Miss Olive Miles, with great pizzazz Miss Lestina Merrill, another on the list And S. F. Storrs, who we never missed
When a sawmill was built, people began to drift The joint school district discontinued, spirits lift A new school house built, at Brainardsville it stood In eighteen fifty-four, it was made good
Calvin Pike was the first to teach Later, S. F. Storrs, with fame to reach Over sixty terms, he taught with skill Many outsiders came, his lessons to fill
Tumblr media
The pioneers who settled here were brave and strong, From far and wide they came, their hearts in song. The Lamsons and Kennisons, great choppers all, Cleared many a farm, but soon heeded the call.
Wild beasts roamed free, bears and lynx and deer, Wolf howls and panther screams oft filled the air. But woodsmen with their axes made it clear, That the big game would no longer be found there.
Thomas Harran, a great trapper, caught the bear, His son George built a sawmill, progress in the air. The first known built by Ira Emerson, block house grand, Intended for a tavern, but served as a dwelling land.
The first sawmill on the river, Chamberlain's name, Meigs & Weed built the dam, progress to claim. A. H. Miller, of Malone, then took the lead, Lumbering and milling, a prosperous deed.
Fish & Van Allen of Albany bought it in '54, Remodeled the mill, "Yankee gong" to explore. James Coates ran the mill, they did large business, Brainard of St. Albans took the reins, success a witness.
He built a grist mill, durable and lasting, G. L. Havens his local agent, the future forecasting. Havens bought the property, a stirring and influential man, A large mercantile business, farming, and lumbering his plan.
About 1877, the mill sold to a new firm, Popeville to name, Havens moved to Colorado, the past never the same. The first post office, Chateaugay Lake, Smith Payne the master, Later moved to Brainard's store, the name to Brainardsville alter.
The history of Chateaugay Lake, rich and grand, Pioneers and progress, the land to command. Wild beasts and woodsmen, progress and change, The future to hold, the past to arrange.
Tumblr media
Amid the permanent settlers, a name doth shine, Cyrus Merrill, son of Paul, the prime, Purchased a vast tract of hardwood land, Maple sugar made, chief sugar maker, grand. From 1,500 to 2,000 trees, he did tap, Farming it, teaching school, there's no gap, For forty winters he taught with care, In wisdom and knowledge, many did share.
Benjamin Pratt, an early settler of the land, A son he had, Harvey Pratt, quite grand, A large tract of land he did acquire, Building sturdy frames, with heart on fire. His father and mother both here did rest, And Harvey followed, putting them to best. Four farms emerged from the land in sale, Now Thomas Baker occupies, without fail.
Benniah Huntey, too, came here to rest, Early in our history, he was blessed, With a farm adjoining the Pratt homestead, An industrious man, his toil and sweat. In the sixties, his wife died in sorrow, To Beekmantown, he left for tomorrow. His farm he sold to V. S. Huntey's hand, An onward journey, an unplanned.
Tumblr media
Very early in our history, Alonson Roberts' fame, Owned real estate, Chateaugay, his claim to name, Ashery he built, 1850 was the year, On the brook, Antoine Cromp was sent to hear. Canadian Cromp made salt for Roberts' boon, Lived in a log house, cornered, a boon. After the ashery's closure, Cromp did stay, Horse trader, he became well known in the way.
Outsiders began to call this place Crompville, From ashery to horse trade, it's the thrill. The post office known as Brainardsville, The other seldom referred to, it's not a thrill. Burning timber into ashes, the way to make, Salt for French Mills, trade to partake. If these words deserve a place in county history, My heart shall sing with joy, it's no mystery.

My husband took some extremely flattering photos of my frost-covered face the other day when we were out hiking. Behold my icy eyebrows.
There were also ice crystals in my eyelashes.
This was up at Brainard Lake, and it was like 20° out, with wind-chill taking it down to 5-ish.

I was all alone on the trail early this morning, enjoying the deafening silence of the wilderness. Chanting, walking, every step a hello to the cool earth beneath —a respite from the oppressive heat at lower elevations. I picked up two plastic bags and one trail bar wrapper, doing my little part in protecting the environment. A hefty parking fee is keeping the visitors to a manageable level. #brainardlake #bluelaketrail #frontrange #rockymountains #elevationrelief #coloradomountains #hikingadventures👣 (at Blue Lake, Brainard Lake Recreation Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgP8S-dvy0r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last summer was the first time I ever saw an alpine lake in person and they’ve slowly been carving out a space in my heart. How could they not? ❤️
