he heard it again and found the monsignor standing in the center of his room with blood coming from his leg. At this point, the pastor was in shock and almost unconscious. Father Cote then helped the pastor back into his bed, tore a sheet and applied it tightly to Lauziere’s leg. This stopped the flow of blood and the pastor was then rushed to the St. Louis Hospital where he was given a transfusion. Danais diagnosed Lauziere’s problem as a massive hemorrhage from a ruptured artery in his leg. Father Lauziere passed away on January 5, 1986, almost twenty years after this incident. Finally, as 1966 was nearing its end, the “Founding Family” of the Granite State Rubber Company had a get together. They were the men and women who were part of the 50 person group, which opened the operations of this famous Berlin company in 1946 and were still actively employed twenty years later. There were names like Bernard Beaulac, Helen Johnson, Reginald Batchelder, Mrs. Alma Morin, Mrs. Emma Dion, Rosaire Therrian and more whose twenty years of association with the industry had been ones of rapid growth. By December of 1966, the company employed 1,100 people and was the second largest employer in Northern New Hampshire. It began as a stitching company in an abandoned building and by the year mentioned, offered employment not only to stitchers, but to many male and female technicians, engineers and skilled artisans. Today, its building has been empty for many years. Questions or comments email poof@ ne.rr.com. Also, become a fan of “Once Upon A Berlin Time” on Facebook and guess at the weekly mystery picture.

struck a concrete abutment. Watson, who was 27 years old and from West Milan, died instantly. That same week, 18 year old Rebecca E. Gray of 10 Pine Street in Gorham, lost her life when the car in which she was a passenger, rolled over in Temple, New Hampshire. State police said that the driver of the sports car in which Gray was riding, failed to hold the road on a curve, skidded off the highway and rolled over into some trees. One more young local person lost their life this month, when Michael Silts, 17, of 73 Gordon Avenue was killed in an automobile accident at Coaticook, Quebec. This accident happened on November 23, 1966. Silts and two other Berlin youths were in a car which rolled over, slid about sixty feet and struck a railroad storage shed. At this point, the vehicle caught fire, but police arrived at the scene before the flames could spread. Two other boys survived the accident, but were seriously injured. The young boys had never been to Canada and decided to make the trip during their school Thanksgiving vacation. It turned out to be a tragic trip for all involved. On the brighter side of Berlin’s history back in December of 1966, the life of one of Berlin’s most famous priests was saved by a curate. It took quick and accurate action by Reverend Joseph Cote to save Pastor Monsignor Alpheri Lauziere of St. Joseph Parish. Doctor Danais explained that Cote’s action stopped a massive hemorrhage in Lauziere’s leg, thus saving his life. Father Cote was in his room on Tuesday night December 6, when he faintly heard his name called. At first, he went downstairs, as the call seemed to come from that area. Then
