ARTEMAS LEE. He was born in Barre and at the age of fourteen went to Templeton where he resided for the remainder of his life. He was a merchant, doing business in no less than four towns in the vicinity of his home, and a man of great business capacity. "Possessed of a mind of remarkable scope and vigor, a physicial organization of great strength and endurance with a dignified and imposing presence, combined with executive ability, native force, clear insight, independence, indomitable will, and all the qualities which go to make a leader of men, and in what ever cause he became engaged he gave to it all the zeal and energy of his nature. He was liberal and public spirited, early entered into the political contests of the State, town and county. During his life he was repeatedly elected to offices of honor and trust, and received appointments from the executive of the common wealth. As a member of the Governor's Council, as state Senator, and a member of the House of Rep. he won the confidence and respect of his associates and the public, by the fidelity and ability with which he discharged all his duites."
In his political associations he acted with the old Whig party until its decline and the formation of the present Republican party and since that time was a firm and earnest supporter of the latter.
In his religious views he was a Unitarian. He was a regular and constant attendant on the public services in the Unitarian church of Templeton, to which he gave a ready and liberal support. It is believed that he died in the faith in which he lived. (Obituary Notices)
