1) Number 44 for 150 shares to William Barnum of Salisbury in 1863. Signed by president Forbes L Adams and Secretary Ensign Church. Two five cent frown revenue stamps. The charcoal furnace was built in 1832, rebuilt in 1853. 2) Number 54 for 11 shares to James Barnum. One large 25c revenue stamp. The Barnums were principals in the Beckley Furnace at East Canaan.
