COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

Dec. 4, 1836, who died April 3, 1885, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Blandford ; her remains were interred at Suffield. To this mar- riage were born four children : Willis Edwin, Sarah Elizabeth, Eveline Sperry and Mary Emily.

(1) Willis Edwin Russell was born July 6, 1855, was educated in the district schools of Blandford, Mass., and the Connecticut Literary Institute, of Suffield, Conn., and since leaving school has been associated with his father in farming, being the junior member of the firm of A. C. & W. E. Rus- sell. He married, June 22, 1881, at Blandford, Miss Emma Eugenia Culver, a native of the town, born Dec. 24, 1856, and a daughter of Dexter and Roxanna ( Sanderson) Culver. Two children have blessed this union, Howard Frank, born March 4, 1883, who is now attending the Suffield Institute ; and Grace Eliza, born Jan. 10, 1888. W. E. Rus- sell is a Republican in politics, but has never sought office; in religion he is a Congregationalist, has been a deacon in the Church for three years, has served as Sunday school teacher and superintend- ent, and is a member of the Society committee. He is a young man of more than ordinary intelli- gence, and is recognized as one of Suffield's most energetic and enterprising young citizens.

(2) Sarah Elizabeth Russell was born March 29, 1857, and died in Blandford, Oct. 19, 1859.

(3) Eveline Sperry Russell was born in Bland- ford Dec. 2, 1860, and was married in Suffield, Jan. 12, 1887, to Emerson Wells Oatley. He was born Aug. 31, 1856, a son of Emerson and Charlotte (Herrick) Oatley, and is now living in Springfield, Mass., where Mr. Oatley is a trucker. One child, Hazel Belle, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Oatley, April 7, 1890, and died Oct. 4, 1899.

(4) Mary Emily Russell was born in Blandford, June 6, 1863, and was married Oct. 17, 1883, to David Lester Brockett, who was born March 13, 1857, and is a son of Frank J. and Maria (Gibbs) Brockett. To David L. and Mary Emily Brockett one child, Mabel Eliza, was born March 25, 1890.

The second marriage of Almon Clark Russell, to Aurelia Loomis, widow of Chester H. Curtis, took place May 11, 1887. She was born July 7, 1829, in Southampton, Mass., died April 24, 1895, in Suffield, and was interred in Russell, Mass., be- side her husband.

A. C. Russell has long been a Republican in politics, has done his full duty in behalf of the party at the polls, but has never sought political preferment. He is somewhat liberal in his views on religion, but is a sincere Christian, is very active in educational matters, and was a member of the school committee in Blandford. He is recognized · as a gentleman of sound judgment and splendid business ability, and is classed among Suffield's fore- most citizens.

No family in Suffield has attained a higher de- gree of usefulness and self-earned respect than that of Almon C. Russell, and their long line of an- cestry has found in both father and son descendants

well worthy the name, and fully capable of main- taining the untarnished reputation of their worthy sires.

The Sperry family, from which Mrs. Ann Eliza Russell descended is one of old Colonial respecta- bility. Elihu Sperry, one of its members, was born in North Haven, Conn., March 21, 1747, was a farmer. He removed to Blandford, Mass., in 1783, and there died, a member of the Congregational Church, in which he served as deacon. He had married, March 10, 1774, Abigail Barnes, a native of Connecticut, and to this union were born, in North Haven, Lola (who died unmarried), Caleb, Elihu and Beady ; in Blandford were born David, May 6, 1787, and Abigail, Sept. 6, 1791. A short time before his death Deacon Elihu Sperry wrote upon the blank pages of his Bible as follows :

I, Elihu Sperry, was born in North Haven, in the State of Connecticut, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and forty-seven, on the twenty-first day of March. As near as I recollect I became a member of the Church in the place of my nativity, about forty-two years ago, and removed to this town when I was thirty-six years of age. Being now in a feeble state of health, and, as I apprehend, near the close of life, I wish to leave the following advice as a testimony of my desire for the spiritual welfare of my family, the Church and the world:

1. I advise my wife and children to attend especially to those things which are spiritual and divine; to maintain a constant intercourse with God by public and private prayer; faithfully to observe the ordinances of His House; to regard with kindness and affection their brethren and sisters in the Church; and to trust not in their own righteousness but in the righteousness of Christ.

2. I desire to be thankful to the God of all mercy and grace for the honor which the Church in this place has con- ferred upon me in appointing me one of its officers; for the respect and kindness with which its members have ever treated me and for the numerous gifts and attentions which they have bestowed upon me. For all these favors I return the Church my sincere thanks. My earnest prayer to God is that its members may walk together in brotherly love, that they may enjoy the presence of the Savior, that they may have their graces strengthened and their numbers increased; that they may abound in every good word and work, and that the blessing of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, may rest upon them.

3. I also return my thanks to all my neighbors for the many kindnesses which they have shown me. May the blessing of heaven rest upon them and their families. I hope they and all the people in this place will feel the importance of a better portion than this world can give. May pure religion be revived in the midst of them, and may they be prepared for the coming and kingdom of our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also wish to express my ardent desire for the prosperity of religion throughout the earth and that the Lord would arise and build up Zion and fill the whole earth with his glory. I also wish to express my firm belief that the doctrines of the Bible which are generally denominated the doctrines of grace are true and faithful.

WILLIAM SIERING (deceased) was an ener- getic and successful business man of New Britain, and part owner of the Siering & Holmes block, the finest and most substantially constructed business building in the city, and one of the best in the State. For some years he was prominently identified with the liquor interests, and he was active in the promo- tion of various enterprises in his city, including the New Britain Telephone Co., in which he was a stockholder.

Mr. Siering was born March 4, 1851, in Eliza- beth, N. J., and was of German ancestry in both paternal and maternal lines. George Siering, his father, was born in 1823, in Bavaria, Germany, where he attended school from his seventh to his fourteenth year. According to the custom of his country, he learned a trade, choosing that of baker, which he followed for a short time. He served in the German army during the Revolution of 1848, and in the fall of 1849 came to America with his wife, Catherine Host, also a native of Bavaria, born July 6, 1825. After his arrival he worked at his trade for a time, and later he removed to New Britain, where he learned the miller's trade with the Russell & Erwin Co. This business he followed

until 1857, when he bought a saloon and boarding- house at the corner of Lafayette and Grove streets, in the rear of the screw shop. In the fall of 1859 he sold out, and for some time was employed in the O. B. North foundry. When that establishment was burned, in 1863, he returned to the Russell & Erwin Co., with whom he remained until the strike, ten years later. For about three years he was in the employ of Taylor's Malleable Iron Works, but in 1870 he went to Meriden, where he worked as a brass molder for a year, and spent the following year in Naugatuck, in the same business. He was an expert molder, and continued his work quite stead- ily until a few years previous to his death, which oc- curred in November, 1886. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and as an intelligent citizen took much interest in public questions, affiliating with the Democratic party in politics. His estimable wife survives him with eight children : ( 1) Hannah mar- ried Valentine Bollever. (2) William is mentioned more fully below. (3) Katherine married (first ) John Yost, and (second ) a Mr. Speigel, of New Haven. (4) George, a barber in New Britain, mar- ried Miss Hashfield, of Meriden. (5) Annie mar- ried Paul Berner, of New Haven. (6) Lena married William Gilbert, of New Britain. (7) Louisa mar- ried Louis Miller. (8) Maggie married Frank Bentz.

Our subject's education was begun in the Burritt school, New Britain, but when he was eight years old his parents removed to Curtis Hill, and he attended the schools of the fourth district for some time. After reaching the age of eleven years he only at- tended night school, but through private study he gained a thorough knowledge of German and Eng- lish, and became especially well informed upon the German wars and our own Civil war. As a boy he was employed in the Wheeler factory, in making curry-combs, and as core-maker in the Russell & Erwin shops. For some time he worked for O. B. North, and when his factory burned he went to the Malleable Iron Works. His ability secured him responsible positions, and the first pin machine set up in the Stanley Works was under his charge for a time. He spent one year with the New Britain Hosiery Co., a year and a half in the finishing de- partment of the Russell & Erwin factory, and for a time was employed by the Landers. Frary & Clark Co., and in the turning department of the North & Judd shops. In 1867 he spent six months at the barber's trade, and later after a short time in the Union Grocery and Feed Store, he went to Hartford, where he tended bar for three months. On his return to New Britain he again worked for the Russell & Erwin Co., and the Stanley Co., but in the fall of 1868 he became interested in the bar- ber's trade with Christian Hess. In April, 1871, he started in business for himself in the Vienna Bakery, and in 1872, he opened a barber shop under the post office, where he continued for several years, having fourteen apprentices during that time. In May, 1881, he sold out and purchased Harry Watkins' saloon at No. 68 West Main street, and engaged in the

liquor business. In April, 1886, he rented a build- ing on Commercial street, which he purchased two years later, and in 1889 he bought the Watkins property. In 1890 he began the erection of the Siering & Holmes block, in partnership with J. W. Holmes, completing it in 1893. As a stanch Demo- crat Mr. Siering took an active interest at times in political affairs, and in 1872 he served as constable. For fifteen years he was park commissioner, and during the building of St. John's Lutheran Church, of which he was a trustee, he was a leading worker in the enterprise. He belonged to the New Britain Rifle Club, being a noted marksman ; was also con- nected with St. Elmo Lodge, K. of P. : Gerstaecker Lodge, 1. O. O. F., a German lodge : the Order of Foresters ; the Turnverein, and Concordia Benevo- lent Society. He believed in enjoying life, having many friends, and in 1883 went to Europe, intending to visit Germany and other countries, but after a brief stay in London and Paris one of the party died, and he returned home.

In 1888 Mr. Siering married Miss Emma Ko- nold, a native of Collinsville, this county. Her father, Matthew Konold, a highly-respected citizen, was foreman in the ax factory in that place, for forty years, and manufactured hammers for the use of California gold miners.

ALFRED W. HANMER. Prominent among the enterprising and progressive business men of Wethersfield is the subject of this sketch-the junior member of the firm of Bulkley & Hanmer, general merchants.

Politically he was first an Old-line Whig and later a Republican, and he was called upon to fill several local offices, be- ing a man well liked and highly respected in the community where he resided. He died at the old home in Wethersfield, where his daughter, Miss Elizabeth, now resides, and was laid to rest in the Wethersfield cemetery.

He died in Wethersfield while still in the prime of life, and was laid to rest in the cemetery there. He was a member of the first company of Governor's Horse Guards, was a Republican in politics and a consistent member of the Episcopal Church. He was noted for his upright, honorable dealings, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He married Miss Clara E. Way, a native of Gilead, Conn., and a daughter of John M. Way. She is a most estimable lady, a faithful Christian and good mother, and is still living in Wethersfield. The children of the family were Alfred W., our subject ; Charles, who lives on the home farm; John, who died in St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 19, 1895: Edward ; and William E., of Wethersfield.
