He obtained a good education in Stoning- ton schools and in the Mystic Valley Institute, and after completing his own studies at the age of sev- enteen, he began teaching, continuing for five years in Stonington, North Stonington and Preston schools. After representing a New York house dealing in fertilizers, the Mapes Fertilizer Company, for a year or so, Mr. Wheeler bought of Noyes S. Palmer the fine estate and Center Farm, upon which he has now resided thirty-one years, from March, 1890 to March, 1921. This estate with the additions made by purchase has been previously mentioned in this review, but another property not connected, however, and owned by Mr. Wheeler, is the Hinck- ley Hill Farm of 110 acres, situated on the Westerly road, a highly improved farm, which produces abundantly under the capable care of its owner. This farm has a pretentious modern residence as one of its attractions, and all other improvements are in harmony. Mr. Wheeler has given much at- tention to fruit growing, and to dairying, blooded Swiss cattle being his choice for a dairy herd, he being one of the few dealers in that grade of cattle in Connecticut. Mr. Wheeler is an independent Democrat in his political opinions; a member of the Old Mystic Baptist Church; Stonington Grange, Patrons of Husbandry; and New London Farm Bu- rean.

ALFRED SMITH HOWARD-Among those families of New England which trace their lineage far back into the misty years of the distant past, none can trace a more direct line than that of the Howard family. Back to Thomas Howard, of the ducal house of Norfolk, England, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, the line of descent is clearly established. When Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel and Sur- rey, died in 1646, his estate was divided between his eldest son, Sir Henry, and his second son, who was Sir William, viscount of Stafford, the younger son receiving but a small amount of property. This was Thomas Howard (2), and in 1660 he, with other sons of ducal families, came to America, arriving at Saybrook, Connecticut, from Norwich, England, but soon afterward going with Rev. Jonas Fitch, Thomas Bingham, Robert Allyn, John Mason, and others to a nine-mile tract, now the city of Nor- wich, Connecticut. He married Mary Hollman, and from their children, Mary, Sarah, Martha, Thomas and Benjamin, have descended the numerous branches of the Howard family in America, who have contributed so largely to the building of many communities.
Charles Smith Howard, father of Alfred Smith Howard, was born January 7, 1816, at East Lyme, Connecticut. Reared and educated in East Lyme, he was during most of his life closely identified with the fishing fleets which sailed from Niantic, Con- necticut, being a large owner of fishing fleets as well as one of the foremost of the men actively en- gaged in that industry. Late in life he left the sea and built the beautiful homestead in the present Sound View section, where he devoted himself to the management of the large farm until his death, April 24, 1890. Hc married Elizabeth Manwaring Hough, born June 14, 1823, and now, at the age of ninety-nine, residing with her daughter, Mrs. Eu- gene Caulkins, of Old Lyme. She is wonderfully alert and active for a woman of her age. Charles Smith and Elizabeth M. (Hough) Howard were the parents of eleven children: Charles Robert, born August 12, 1842, at Niantic, Connecticut; Mary Eliz-

Franklin, born March 4, 1862; Lucy Howard, born May 17, 1865, wife of Eugene Caulkins, of Old Lyme; and Alfred Smith, of whom further.
Alfred Smith Howard, son of Charles Smith and Elizabeth Manwaring (Hough) Howard, was born May 16, 1867, at Old Lyme, Connecticut. He attend- ed the schools of Old Lyme and then went to Clinton Academy, at Clinton, Connecticut, from which he graduated. After teaching school for three winters in various parts of the county, he went into the grocery business at South Lyme, Con- necticut, where he remained for two years, acting as postmaster of South Lyme during that same pe- riod. Upon the death of his father in 1890, he sold his business at South Lyme and returned to the old homestead, where he is living at the present time. The farm, a large and beautiful one in the Sound View section, is most efficiently managed, and is one of the show places of the county. Politically, Mr. Howard is a Republican, and has been active in the interests of his community. Always ready to help forward any movement for the betterment of the community, he has not refused to serve in the regular offices which offer large opportunity for faithful performance of civic duty. He has served as third selectman, as second selectman, and as justice of the peace, all in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Fraternally, Mr. Howard is affiliated with Pythag- oras Lodge, No. 45, Free and Accepted Masons; and with Crystal Lodge, No. 88, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, in which last he has been through all the chairs. In church membership he is a Baptist.
Alfred Smith Howard married (first) Elizabeth Mary Riddell, daughter of Conrad Riddell, of Old Lyme. Mrs. Howard died October 8, 1909. To this marriage was born one son, Clifford Riddell Howard, May 3, 1897.

To this marriage two children have been born: Evelyn Alma, born March 23, 1912; and Charles Smith, born November 30, 1915. Both of these chil- dren were born in Old Lyme.
HOWARD E. BECKWITH-Allied with the building trades, and doing a prosperous business in the city of New London, Connecticut, Howard E. Beckwith, of this city, is a prominent man in other lines of public activity. Mr. Beckwith is a descend- ant of prominent old families of this and neighboring States.
His grandfather was James Beckwith, of Green-
port and Sag Harbor, New York, and his grand- mother's family name was Brown.
Samuel R. Beckwith, father of Howard E. Beck- with, was a lifelong resident of Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York. He was educated in the public schools of his native town, and learned the trade of mason there, following this trade all his active life. He died in 1892. He married Anna C. Polley, daughter of Samuel M. and Charlotte M. (Edwards) Polley, the Polley line coming from Cotton Mather, of Boston Colonial days, the Edwards line being co- descendants with the celebrated Colonial divine, Rev. Jonathan Edwards. Samuel R. and Anna C. (Polley) Beckwith were the parents of three chil- dren: Howard E., whose name heads this review; Russell E., who married Anna R. Gray, and is a resident of New London; and Anna Rose, who is now the wife of Arthur E. Dunmire, residing also in New London.
Howard E. Beckwith was born in Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, January 26, 1883, and re- ceived his education in the public schools of that place. After leaving school he was employed in Southold and Greenport, Long Island, coming to New London, Connecticut, in December, 1903, and in the spring of 1904 entered the employ of Hobron & Root, contracting painters and decorators, as journeyman painter. Mr. Beckwith remained with them until Mr. Root's death in 1917; at that time the business was offered for sale by the Root estate, and Mr. Beckwith, in company with Mr. Curtis F. Gates, who had been employed as book- keeper, purchased it, using the firm name of Gates & Beckwith. In October, 1918, Mr. Gates died of influenza, and Mr. Beckwith purchased his interest in the business from the heirs, thereafter conducting the business independently, retaining, however, the firm name of Gates & Beckwith as a trade name. He is still thus engaged, and is carrying the business constantly forward, developing it and increasing its scope, and now has an important, wide-reaching interest in this branch of industrial and mercantile endeavor. He does contract painting, paper hang- ing and decorating, and conducts a well appointed store, selling paints, wall papers, and all kinds of painter's supplies. The store, which is located at the corner of Church and Meridan streets, is large and up-to-date in every way, and Mr. Beckwith is handling an extensive business.
Outside his immediate business interests, Mr. Beckwith is well known about town. He is a mem- ber of the New London Chamber of Commerce, the Young Men's Christian Association, Knonomoc Hose Company, No. 4, of the New London Fire Department. Fraternally, he is a member of Brain- ard Lodge, No. 102, Free and Accepted Masons. Politically, he supports the Republican party.
On January 20, 1910, at New London, Mr. Beck- with married Ethel E. Harris, daughter of Nelson E. and Ella M. (Carpenter) Harris, of this city, her father a native of New London, her mother born in

Mystic, Connecticut. Mr. and Mrs. Beckwith are the parents of three children: Harold Edwards, born January 31, 1913, died February 28, 1913; Lois Alma, born November 22, 1916; Russell Howard, born January 8, 1920. The family are members of St. James' Episcopal Church.
LYMAN BUCKINGHAM SMITH-A conspicu- ous figure in the life of this community, and one who has taken a keen and active interest in its affairs, is Lyman Buckingham Smith. Until his farming operations grew so extensive that he was unable to give his attention to other things than his own business affairs, he was always a prominent figure in the life of Montville and an active pro- moter of its interests.
The Smith families are numerous in this country, and the name is perhaps the most frequent one in New England. It has furnished the country with inany statesmen and members of the various pro- fessions, and during the year 1825 there were two hundred and fourteen graduates from the various colleges of New England and New Jersey bearing the name of Smith, one-fourth of whom became clergymen. James Smith, of Groton, Connecticut, was the ancestor of Lyman B. Smith, the line being traced through five generations from James Smith to Henry A. Smith, father of Lyman B. Smith.
Henry Austin Smith, son of Lyman and Emeline (Fanning) Smith, was born at Massapeag, Connec- ticut, June 27, 1837. He attended the Montville local school, and then entered Poquetanuck Aca- demy, where he studied for three terms, and then went to Colchester, where he studied for two years at Bacon Academy. At the age of twenty-one years he began teaching, and for some twenty or thirty terms taught in various schools, working on the farm in the summer time. In August, 1862, he en- listed in Company A, 26th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, was made first lieutenant at Camp Russel, Norwich, and when the captain of his company was wounded, took command, being thus in command at Port Hudson. Prior to this he had been in com- mand of Fort Banks on the Mississippi river, where the explosion of a shell had destroyed the hearing of his right ear. On May 27, 1863, Captain Smith was wounded in the right shoulder and in the right leg, and because of these injuries was honorably discharged, August 17, 1863, at Norwich. Upon his return home he engaged in farming, with short intervals of teaching, until finally, in 1880, he pur- chased the homestead and devoted his entire atten- tion to general farming. His farm was an exceed- ingly well kept one and very prosperous. He mar- ried Harriet Eliza Mitchell, daughter of David and Eliza (Grant) Mitchell, of Salem, Connecticut. She died in 1909, and he was killed by a train, Septem- ber 15, 1913. They were the parents of one child, Lyman Buckingham.
