In the death of Thomas C. UPHAM, another link in the chain binding the past to the present has been severed. The deceased was a direct descendant of one of the earliest settlers. His father, James UPHAM was one of the first settlers of this town and his mother, a daughter of Capt. Jacob SMITH, is said to have been the first white girl born on the St. John River above the Meductic falls. Mr. Upham in early life prosecuted farming, but later he became quite an extensive lumber operator. He once held a captain's commission in the militia; and was for some years Town Marshal of Woodstock and Deputy Sheriff of the County. He removed to Boston in 1868 where he resided till his death. In 1836, Mr. Upham was married to Elizabeth HAY, sister of the late R.A. HAY. Mrs. Upham is still living in the enjoyment of good health. The remains reached here Saturday and were followed from the station by a number of friends to the residence of Wm UPHAM, Esq., brother of the deceased, from whence they were taken on Sunday to the parish burial yard for interment.
