a teamster named Crane, who teamed from Keene or Bellows Falls to Boston, 

 (Crane paid $125 for her, she got lame and when Drury brought her had a 

 spavin), breeding unknown. Sold to Lewis Ballou, Richmond, N. H., who, 

 spring of 1858, sent him to Covington, Ky., in charge of Ames Elmore, 

 Hinsdale, N. H., where he was kept one season, then two seasons at Mason, 

 O., in care of John Crane ; then returned, and, in 1861 or '62, was sold to 

 Martin Cook, Richmond, N. H. Afterwards owned several years by a Mr. 

 Pickering,Winchester, N. H. Died about 1874. E. R. Spaulding, Kearney, Neb., 

 writes : " I have seen many fine horses, but never saw a more active, trappy 

 and exceedingly highly finished, stylish horse than Granite Morgan. He was 

 very clean cut and a square-gaited horse ; never trained, but could trot a mile 

 with two men in a wagon in 3 :oo any time on a decent road. He left some 

 colts that were wonderful roadsters and could kill on a long pull the large 

 majority of horses ". 



Stephen Batcheller of Fitzwilliam, N. H., writes : " This Granite colt 

 was full of life, style and speed, but so spirited that it was difficult to make 

 him hold his best gait. He resembled his sire, but was not as large, I think, 

 or as handsome ".
