Special meeting called 22 May 1876 -
       One of its most efficient instrumentalities was in the singing conducted by Artemas P. Hemenway, who had a fine clear voice, and was an enthusiastic Temperance worker.  Some of his most popular songs were written by Dr. Hammond.  One of our former townsmen writes as follows: ---
       Those touching little songs so sweetly rendered by Artemas P. Hemenway, so plainly enunciated that every person in any part of the assemblage could perfectly understand every word, were a power in themselves.  What Sankey's songs are to Moody's Sermons, Hemenway's songs were to the able and faithful speakers of that philanthropic movement.  Dr. Hammond poetical talent and Hemenway's fine singing and the sound reasoning of Hammond & Woodward and others did perhaps as much or more than the lecturers from abroad to accomplish the great good.

Lived several years in Gilsum, at 220, just north of the Sullivan line, in a house which has been considerably used for a shop, both before and since his occupancy of it.  He went later to Massachusetts.  About 1862 (correcting a date in the seventh line from the bottom of page 574), he went to Springfield, Mass., and was employed in the United States Arsenal.  About 1875, he was poisoned by inhaling the fumes of red hot lead, from the effects of which he died in Douglass, Mass., Nov. 1 1879.
