Hiel Hollister
1867
J. Munsell, Albany
BARDEN, LEMUEL, from Dighton, Mass., 1814, succeeded Ephraim Fitch, in the brick hotel at the
village, which he kept until about 1830. Though of a rather rough exterior, he was a
kind hearted,
benevolent man, and would not serve his customers with liquor after he thought they had enough.
He
died in 1839, aged 81; his wife in 1839, aged 79. His son, John T. Barden, kept the tavern a few
years and removed, about 1840, to Chautauque Co., N.Y., where he died some years ago.
He married
Clara, da. of Nathaniel Harmon, who died in 1830. Next he married Amorette, da. of
John Penfield.
