History of Royalton, Vermont: With Family Genealogies, 1769-1911, Volume 2
By Mary Evelyn Wood Lovejoy
Mr. Cowdery removed from Tunbridge to S. Royalton in 1856, and bought the place where he lived and died, and where his daughter Anne and her husband, James Bingham, later lived and recently died. The old house was burned in March, 1863.
The fire caught in the well, which was between the house and barn, and all the buildings were consumed. While rebuilding Mr. Cowdery occupied the house now owned by Mrs. Jane Jones, and there Anne was married.
Mr. Cowdery was a man of no ordinary type. Though small in stature, he possessed great force of character, and power of planning and carrying into execution business enterprises. He was a director and president of the South Royalton Bank, and was president of the Union Agricultural Society of Tunbridge, and did much to make their annual fairs a success. He was an extensive dealer in live stock, and furnished fine horses to patrons in distant parts of the country. His purse was always open to calls for public improvements. He was systematic and methodical in his habits. For years he kept a diary in Walton's Registers,
which, with other important documents relating to the S. Royalton Bank were kindly offered for use to the Historical Association, by his daughter, Mrs. Mary C. Johnson. He served the town in an official way during most of the years of his residence in it, acting as highway surveyor, lister, grand juror, auditor. His wife was a sister of Daniel Tarbell, Jr., and possessed much of the ability
characteristic of the family. She was essentially domestic, and idolized by her children.
