HISTORY RELATIVE TO ~ R.B. DOXTATER and S. NEWELL BOND ~ DRY GOODS BUSINESS of DOXTATER & BOND
Among the leading and prominent citizens of Adams, since 1840, may be mentioned R. B. Doxtater. He was the only son of William Doxtater, one of the pioneer settlers of the town. He succeeded his father in the dry goods business, and later, at the completion of the Rome and Watertown Railroad, became its first superintendent. He subsequently removed to Rome, Oneida county, and became interested in a Western Railroad, when he was stricken with apoplexy, and died at Chicago. He left a wife and one son, who have since died. Mrs. Doxtater was the only daughter of the late Judge Daniel Wardwell, formerly of Mannsville.
Maxey and J. Preston Mann came to Adams about 1844. Maxey, the elder brother, became a partner in the dry goods business of R. B. Doxtater. He married the eldest daughter of Henry Whitcomb, and several years later removed to Detroit, where he died in 1883. J. Preston Mann was a successful physician in Adams, but eventually removed to New York city, where he won fame and wealth in his profession. Both brothers were highly esteemed and beloved. Dr. J. Preston Mann died in 1893, while on a visit to the World\'s Fair at Chicago.
Solon D. Hungerford came from Watertown to Adams in 1844, where he established a bank, known for many years as Hungerford\'s Bank. Mr. Hungerford was a man of great public spirit, and did much during his life to advance the interests of Adams. He was a son of the late Dexter Hungerford, of Watertown. He died in 1884, leaving one son. Robert, who now resides in New York.
William C. Thompson was for many years a successful lawyer in Adams. In 1853 he was elected judge of Jefferson county on the Democratic ticket, the late Joseph Mullin being the opposing candidate. Soon after his election he removed to Watertown, where he died in 1875. He married Miss Antoinette N., daughter of the late Judge T. C. Chittenden. Mr. Thompson was a most genial man, and greatly beloved by all who knew him.
S. Newell Bond was born in Adams in 1820, and spent his entire life there. In his early manhood he commenced the dry goods business, which he followed through life. He was for many years a member of the firm of Doxtater & Bond. He was a man possessed of many good qualities, and was a prominent and active member of the Presbyterian Church of that place. In 1847 he married Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Peter Doxtater, who still survives him. He died in 1891, deeply regretted by his many friends.

HISTORY OF STONEWARE JUGS
Stoneware jugs were essential in a 19th century household. Stoneware was exceptionallystrong and non-porous material. It was an ideal way to store liquids, were easy to makeor purchase, and came in many sizes from one pint to as large as 25 gallons.
Stoneware was made in many different styles and colors, from the elaborate designs that are full of color and made for decorative purposes, to the plain and simple for practical purposes. Today, stoneware jugs are still being made for decorative purposes and also still remain as antiques.
There was little stoneware available for sale until the early 1800s because the clays used in its production were not readily available in many areas and transportation was prohibitively expensive. The opening of the Erie Canal and improve roads brought about a dramatic increase in the accessibility of stoneware clay, and many new potteries began to open in New York and New England. After the Civil War there was a need and a national demand for stoneware jugs, crocks, canning jars, churns, spittoons, and a wide variety of other pottery USE THE \"CONTACT SELLER\" FUNCTION TO CONTACT US AND RESOLVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE offerDING
