Your bookkeeper in Merrimack

Merrimack takes its name from the river, and the Pennacook people named that river after the sturgeon. When the town was incorporated it spelled itself Merrymac. The Souhegan River roughly cuts the place in half, and four villages make up the map. The automobile turned a largely farming community into a bedroom community, and where there are houses there are people paid to look after them: landscapers, cleaners, contractors and small crews with one truck and a trailer. Those owners spend the day out on Daniel Webster Highway and the evening wondering where the receipts went. I keep the books for businesses like that, so the paperwork stops riding around on the dashboard.

The four villages are Merrimack Village, once called Souhegan Village, plus Thorntons Ferry, Reeds Ferry and South Merrimack. Thorntons Ferry remembers Matthew Thornton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who lived here, and the Signer's House is still in town. Baboosic Lake sits in the northwest, Naticook Lake near Thorntons Ferry and Harris Pond in the southeast. Bedford lies to the north, Nashua to the south, Litchfield to the east and Amherst to the west. Atkinson is about 18 miles east of all this, over in Rockingham County, so I am a New Hampshire bookkeeper you reach online, not one you pass on Continental Boulevard.
