Samuel Conklin of Middletown, N. Y. He bred her 

 to Harry Clay in 1861 and got the filly afterwards 

 known as Green Mountain Maid. She was small, as 

 wild as a hawk, and was never broken to harness. 

 Even age did not tame her. 



In 1887 when Green Mountain Maid had her last 

 foal at foot, Mr. Backman opened her stall door one 

 morning to let me get a glimpse of the dam of Elec- 

 tioneer. Even at that time of life she resented a 

 stranger coming into the stall. Aside from that this 

 little mare was a genuine asset as Charles Backman 

 received over $90,000 for her foals. 



Green Mountain Maid died on June 6, 1888. She 

 was buried at Stony Ford Farm. Her grave was 

 marked with a monument with the following in- 

 scription : —
