Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Published: 2/15/2021 10:50:05 AM In October 1792, the Temple town fathers met to address a frightening development in the town, Monadnock Center for History and Culture executive director Michelle Stahl said. “Smallpox had broken out in a community that had grown up around the site of the old glassworks that had been abandoned in 1783. At their meeting, they voted ‘…that a man be procured to inspect ye Houses of the Small Pox, both at Mr. Todd’s and Jube Savage’s,’” she said, and that the necessary supplies and doctors be secured. It was the first mention of Jube Savage that Stahl encountered. His story, as a former enslaved man and American Revolution veteran, is one of those the Citizen Archivists campaign is illuminating as it pieces together archival records to discover more about the Monadnock region’s Black residents through history.
