CHARLES G. STONE, Home Office Agent of the Travelers Insurance Co. of Hartford, and in other connections a prominent resident of that city,

is a native of Connecticut, born May 5, 1860, in Naugatuck.

Alban M. Stone, grandfather of our subject, was a descendant of Hugh Stone, who emigrated to this country from England in about 1655, and set- tled in Warwick, R. I. Mr. Stone's grandfather, Job Mattison, was a Revolutionary soldier, and his widow received a pension for his services. Mr. Stone was a prominent man in Hartford county in his day, for many years holding the position of agent for the North Manchester Mills. Later he removed to Providence, R. I., where he engaged in the wholesale paper trade, building up a large business. He married Mary Adams Morse, daugh- ter of Charles Morse, of Coventry, R. l., whose ancestor, William Morse, emigrated to this coun- try in 1635, and settled in Newbury, Mass. Mary Adams Stone was a descendant of Henry Adams, who emigrated to New England in 1634, and set- tled in Braintree, Mass. Henry Adams was the fa- ther of Lieut. Henry Adams, of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston, who was killed by the Indians at the burning of Medfield in 1676. Other descendants from Henry Adams were John Adams and John Quincy Adams, Presidents of the United States ; Samuel Adams, the patriot signer of the Declaration of Independence: Charles Francis Adams; and many other men of note. Mr. and Mrs. Stone had a large family, of whom but two survive : James B., the father of our subject ; and Sarah A., Mrs. Disbrow, of Providence, R. I. Mr. Stone passed away at the age of seventy-nine, his wife at the age of seventy-six. They were identified with the Congregational Church.

James B. Stone was reared in North Manches- ter, but his active life was passed in Hartford, where he became a well-known business man, en- gaging in the wholesale and retail paper trade up to 1892 ; at the time of his retirement he was the old- est paper merchant in the city. He is a Republican in politics, and prominent in social life, having affil- iated with the Masons for many years ; he is a vet- eran of the City Guard, of which he was long an act- ive member. Mr. Stone is equally well known in musical circles, having played the organ many years in the Asylum Hill Congregational Church, and later in the Asylum Avenue Baptist Church. He and his wife attend the Congregational Church. James B. Stone married Miss Julia A. Greene, and two children were born to them: Charles G. and Lillian A. The daughter married Dr. H. E. Rice, of Springfield, Mass .. a prominent physician and surgeon of that city. Mrs. Stone is a native of Warwick, R. 1., and one of the eight children of Christopher Greene, a prominent citizen of War- wick. Mrs. Julia A. (Greene) Stone is a descend- ant of John Greene, surgeon, who came from Wilt- shire, England, and settled in about 1636 in War- wick, R. I., where he died in 1658. Other descend- ants from John Green are Gen. Nathaniel Green, the celebrated Revolutionary general ; John Green, dep- uty governor of Rhode Island, who died in 1708;

Ray Green, member United States Senate 1794 to 1797; Will- iam Green, lieutenant-governor of Rhode Island in 1871 ; Brig .- Gen. George Sears Green, who attained great prominence during the Civil war, and his son, Gen. Francis Vinton Green, celebrated for the services rendered his country during the late Span- ish war, and for his prominence in the Republican party in New York.

Charles G. Stone spent his early years in Hart- ford, attending the district schools and the Hart- ford Public High School, from which latter he was graduated at the age of seventeen years. Until twen- ty years old he was employed in a wholesale harness house, and then entered the employ of the Travelers Insurance Co., as mail clerk. From this humble position he worked his way upward until, in 1885, he was sent to St. Paul, Minn., to learn the agency work, remaining there one year. Soon after his return he was appointed Home Office Agent at Hartford, which position he has ever since retained. Mr. Stone is prominent in the social and public in- terests of Hartford, having been elected to the common council board from the Fourth ward for three years-1898 to 1901-being now first coun- cilman ; from 1897 he has served efficiently as chair- man of the Northwest school district. His political support is given to the Republican party. He is State secretary of the Connecticut Society, Sons of the American Revolution : member of the Connecti- cut Historical Society: the Connecticut Horticult- ural Society ; the Hartford Yacht Club ; the Weeka- paugh Golf Club: and, in religious connection, of the Asylum Hill Congregational Church, being also a teacher in the Sunday-school and a member of the Teachers Club.

In 1893 Mr. Stone married Miss Bessie C. Rath- bun, and they have had one child, Kathleen. Mrs. Stone's father, Julius G. Rathbun, is agent of the National Life Insurance Co., of Vermont, a well known and prominent citizen of Hartford. His family consisted of four children, three of whom are living : Helen, Fred D., and Bessie C. (Mrs. Stone ).

HORACE MANN ANDREW'S, senior member of the mercantile and manufacturing firm of An- drews & Peck, and for many years prominently connected with the city government of Hartford, was born in Essex. Mass., Jan. 10, 1849. His grandfather married Martha Lufkin, of Essex.

Joseph Andrews, father of our subject, was born in Essex, in 1804, in that part of the town which was once a part of old Chebacco. The only educational advantages open to him were a few months each year in district schools, and very meager home training. His learning from books was chiefly self-acquired ; yet such was his inborn love of study, that even under these discouraging

conditions he became an excellent mathematician and a man of broad general knowledge. When a young man he worked as a surveyor, in which pur- suit he was successful because of his thorough fa- miliarity with his task, and his rigid integrity, which latter trait, indeed, was one of Mr. Andrews' most pronounced characteristics through life. He was thoroughly intolerant of anything that was un- just or mean. In later years he became a farmer and shipbuilder. His farm was situated on But- ler's Point, in the town of Essex, and he was super- intendent in several of the shipyards, was regarded as an expert "liner," and supervised the modeling and construction of some of the largest craft floated from the yards of Essex, always an important cen- ter for this industry. The outbreak of the Rebel- lion stirred his patriotic pulse to the depths. He tendered his services to the government in the ca- pacity in which he felt he could be most useful, and was assigned to duty in the navy yard at Charles- town, where he was placed in charge of a large force of men. Here his technical skill, no less than his natural executive ability, trained by previous experience, insured success, and won for him the genuine, profound respect of the officers who were his superiors. It is difficult to speak too highly of the character of Joseph Andrews, whose keen intel- lect and rugged honesty stamped him as a true son of New England. His perceptions were quick and clear, his memory strong and retentive; his charity quiet, yet all embracing ; his resolution firm. And to these traits he joined an originality and individ- uality of character with a high moral purpose which commanded and enforced respect. He passed from earth in 1888, his wife three years before. Her maiden name was Hannah Knowlton, and she was the daughter of Moses Knowlton, who married Ab- igail Pulcifer, of West Gloucester, . Mass. Mr. Knowlton's uncle, Gen. Knowlton, was a gallant officer in the Colonial army in 1776, and served with distinction at Bunker Hill. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews were eight in number: Joseph W., Francis Marion, Susan Eliza, Horatio Nelson, Maryline, Elias Calvin, Hannah Maria, and Horace Mann.

Horace M. Andrews obtained his early educa- tion chiefly in the district schools of Essex, although his training was rounded out by one year in a com- mercial school at Boston. His scholastic training, fairly good for the times, he has since improved by well-directed reading. During the early years of his life, while not in school, he was enabled to gather some knowledge of business, working in the principal store of his native town, it being his chief desire to make himself useful even at gratuitous service, rather than pass his time in idleness. Though by no means averse to boyish sports, many of the half-liolidays of Wednesdays and Saturdays found him assisting in the ship yards of his native town, familiarizing himself with the tools, which a few years later he became adept in handling.

Mr. Parsons was born June 2, 1821. in Wi sor, Conn., of good New England stock, and

life was spent entirely in this section. His father, Erastus l'arsons, was born in the same town June 30, 1782, and was married in 1808, to Clarissa Bronson, who was born Sept. 14, 1785, and died Feb. 20, 1835. They had seven children, none of whom are now living. The father died Aug. 6, 1827. For many years he and his wife were identi- fied with the Congregational Church of Windsor.

John G. Parsons was but a child when his fa- ther died, and when fifteen years old he left Wind- sor to learn the book-binder's trade in Hartford with Brown & Drake, a leading firm on Main street. After becoming proficient in the art he was ad- mitted to partnership, the firm being known later as Drake & Parsons. They carried on a general book-binding business, and the firm was also con- nected with the publishing house of Bliss & Co. for about thirty years, becoming one of the most successful business enterprises of the city. Mr. Parsons was interested in political questions and in the purity of the ballot, but refused to take office when urged to do so by his co-workers in the Re- publican party. At the time of his death he had been connected for fifty years with the volunteer fire department, where he was extremely popular, and rose through the various ranks to be assistant engineer, and later chief engineer of the depart- ment. In August, 1849, while serving as assistant engineer, he was presented with a silver speaking trumpet, a beautiful token of respect. For several years he was chairman of the school board, and his time and means were freely given to the further re- ligious work. He was a stanch advocate of tem- perance principles. For many years he was all active member of the Order of Rechabites.

On May 5, 1844, Mr. Parsons married Miss Betsey M. Knox, who survives him, and resides in her pleasant home at No. 146 Windsor avenue, Hartford. They had two children : Alice, who died Aug. 25, 1849, aged four years; and John Knox, who died April 4, 1892, aged thirty years. The son was educated in the Hartford schools, and on leaving high school he learned the gold beater's trade of James H. Ashmead & Son. After about five years in that business he entered the hardware business, but sold out a few years afterward on ac- count of ill health. He finally became interested in the hotel business, and after engaging in that busi- ness three years at Lake Dunmore, Vt., commenced the erection of a large hotel, with six cottages there, costing $100,000, and accommodating 300 guests ; it was completed by his mother after his early death, which cut short a most promising career, as he had gained a high reputation. For some years before his death he spent his winters in San Antonio. He married Miss Nellie Frisbee. and had one child, Bessie, but both wife and child are dead.

Mrs. Parsons is a descendant of an old Colonial family, and her paternal great-grandfather, Archi- bald Knox, was born in Scotland in 1713, and died in Ashford, Conn., in 1762. His son, Samuel Knox,

had twelve children, four of whom died in infancy, the others being: Joel, Phebe, Samuel, David, Elisha, Elijah, Amariah and Susannah. Samuel Knox, Jr., father of Mrs. Parsons, was born Aug. 10, 1780, and was a prominent agriculturist of Man- chester, whither he came when a young man, and learned his trade. He died Oct. 13, 1836. In 1800 he married Lydia Benton, born June 17, 1780, a re- markably gifted woman, who attained the ad- vanced age of ninety-one years, dying March 12, 1871. She was a granddaughter of John Benton, of East Hartford. The Benton family is well known in Manchester, and Joseph Benton, Mrs. Parson's maternal grandfather, was a man of marked char- acter and ability, and wielded much influence in his community. He married ( first) Anna Symonds, and they had five children: Joseph, who married Jerusha Loomis, and had five children ; Anna, who died aged sixteen years; Mary, who married Noah Keeney, of Manchester, and had three children, Horace, Betsey, and Mary (Mrs. Keeney, who is the only one of the family now living, is eighty- five years old, and has a home with her daughter in Boston) ; Lydia, Mrs. Knox; and Persis, who died aged twenty-three years. Joseph Benton's second wife was Elizabeth Bryant. Samuel and Lydia Knox had ten children, of whom Mrs. Par- sons is the only survivor, five of the children dying when young, and five living to mature age. Maria died March 5, 1831. David P. died March 8, 1861. Mary, wife of John Fuller, died March 4, 1870. Chester J. died June 21, 1877. Chauncey B. died March 3, 1887. Mrs. Parsons' three bir thers were prominent residents of Manchester, Chester being an agriculturist and fur dealer. Chauncey Knox was a liveryman and hotelkeeper, and was deputy sheriff for many years; he was an earnest worker in the temperance cause. David P. Knox was a member of the Hartford Union Mining & Trading Co., and went out on the "Henry Lee" in 1849 to seek gold in the California fields, sailing around Cape Horn. There he broke down in health and returned to Hartford. After a short time he went to South Carolina, and there engaged in business, which he later had to abandon on account of ill health, and returning to Hartford he died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Parsons, March 8, 1861.

Mrs. Parsons traveled extensively with her son. She was reared among the best surroundings, be- came interested in religious work at an early age, and since her removal to Hartford has been a mem- ber of the Fourth Congregational Church, in which her husband was a leading worker. For many years she has been assistant superintendent in the Sun- clay-school. Her sympathetic aid has also been given to the temperance cause, in which she has done much active work, having been president of the local W. C. T. U. for eight years. She has for many years entertained in her hospitable home various temperance speakers ; it has been a home for John B. Gough, Miss Frances Willard, Col. Bain, of Ken-
