HOSMER SHAILER, the father of Leroy H., was born in Haddam, Conn., September I, 1809, son of Lyman and Olive (Ely) Shailer. He was thrown on his own resources at the age of ten years, and came to Deep River ta work as cook in Southworth's Quarry, a position which he held for several seasons. His next engagement was with Carter & Snow, in Deep River, for whom he worked as a wood turner. From there he went into the old pump shop as superintendent, under Ezra Williams, the owner. He afterward worked for Russell Jennings, in the manufacture of augers and bits. Between 1840 and 1850 he was dock- master at the steamboat wharf, and at the same time conducted a hotel in the stone house near the river, which is now owned and occupied by the Duggan family.

In 1851, being attracted by the wealth of opportunity presented on the Pacific coast, Mr. Shailer went to California, making the jour- ney by steamer to Panama, by team and on foot across the Isthmus, and front there to the Golden Gate by vessel. He joined his brother William in salmon fishing, but they did not

long continue in that line, turning to prospect- ing, soon locating and working a rich claim. Mr. Shailer presently sold out at a good figure, and returning East invested in a half interest in the Gloucester (N. J.) Ferry Company, with which he was engaged at the breaking out of the Civil war. In 1862 he secured a sutler's license, and was engaged in that busi- ness for several months, meeting with very fair success. He was with Gen. Hooker's com- mand, was at the battle of Chancellorsville, and was obliged to flee when the Union army retreated, leaving most of his stores on the field. He then returned to Deep River and became the foreman of Stevens & Starkey, in their mill and lumber business. Mr. Shailer was later engaged in farming in Cromwell, Conn., in 1875 and the following year. In 1877 he went to Sea Breeze, N. J., to manage a -hotel for the Delaware River Steamboat Company, in which he was very successful, re- maining there five years. Returning to Deep River, he took charge of Fountain Hill ceme- tery, and was its superintendent for a number of years, doing excellent work. After his re- tirement from this position he took care of his place, and was a busy man up to the year of his death, 1899, when he was aged nearly ninety years.

Hosmer Shailer was married, February 15, 1835, to Sarah W. Stevens, of Middletown, Conn., who was born August 28, 1814, in Had- dam, and died April 3, 1887. Their family consisted of the following children: Arnold, of Gloucester, N. J .; William L., who died in Bay City, Mich .; Leroy H., of Deep River; Hosmer, who lives in Buffalo, N. Y. Mrs. Hosmer Shailer was a consistent member of the Baptist Church in Deep River. She was much respected by all those who had the pleas- ure of her acquaintance, and was greatly missed, not only by her immediate family, but by all those who had resided in Deep River any considerable time.

Leroy H. Shailer, the immediate subject of our sketch, was born in Gloucester, N. J .. April 27, 1855, and grew to manhood in Deep River, receiving his education in the home schools and at Hartford Business College. At the age of fifteen he began life for himself in the Deep River shops, and afterward worked for Russell Jennings in the manufacture of augers and bits. He then went into the turn ing shop of N. B. Pratt, where he remained

two years, after which he entered the employ of Richardson & Griswold. After four years of faithful service with them he continued two years in the same capacity with their suc- cessors, the Spencer Brothers, of Deep River. For a number of years Mr. Shailer has been in business for himself, and successfully con- ducted an establishment devoted to the sale of flour, feed, groceries and provisions. In 1901 he disposed of the groceries and provisions part of his business, and now ( 1902) is solely engaged in the sale of flour and feed. Mr. Shailer is a Republican in political faith and has filled the office of justice of the peace for two years. With his wife he is a member of the Baptist Church. Mr. Shailer has long been enrolled in the I. O. O. F. affiliating with Webb Lodge, No. 81, of Deep River.

Mr. Shailer was married July 7. 1880, to Alice C. Moore, a daughter of Charles and Rebecca A. Moore, of Lakeville, N. Y. Mrs. Shailer belongs to one of the old families of Connecticut. James Moore, her grandfather, lived near New London, and was probably a fisherman. He was married there to Hannah Darrow, and their family consisted of the fol- lowing: (1) John, who had a son, who is en- gaged as a florist near Middletown; (2) James, who lived in Pennsylvania; (3) Charles, the father of Mrs. Shailer; (4) Ste- phen, who lived in Michigan; (5) Daniel: (6) Edwin ; and (7) William.

Mrs. Charles Moore died in 1860, at the age of thirty-six years. After ' his marriage Charles Moore lived in Livingston county, N. Y., where he was a farmer, and carried on a profitable business in produce. To him and his wife came: (1) Wallace, born September 4. 1844, died at the age of twenty- three years.

JOSEPH L. B. COVELL, a well-known citizen of Portland, Middlesex county, and a prominent farmer of the town, is the only male representative of an old and illustrious family whose history is closely intertwined with that of Middlesex county, the Covells, and is also connected with the Blagues. For generations back these families have been prominent in society, and have always been among the wealthier people of the locality. The Blagues preceded the Covells in the settlement 1 of the town. Col. Joseph Blague was born March 2, 1738, and died March 5, 1809, at the place where Mr. Covell now lives; he is buried in the Portland Episcopal cemetery. His wife, Prudence Hale, of Glastonbury, was born August 21, 1737, and died January I, 1826, and is buried by the side of her husband in the Portland cemetery. Col. Blague was a son of Joseph Blague, of Saybrook, Conn., and Mary (Hamlin) Blague, the latter born in Middletown, Conn., in 1696, daughter of Hon. John Hamlin. She died July 21, 1762. Col. Blague was a leading man in his day, and was very wealthy. His only son, Joseph, died March 26, 1812, in his forty-seventh year, and was buried in the Portland Episcopal cemetery. His two daughters were Mary, who was the grandmother of Mr. Covell, and Catherine, who married Vine Starr. The Blague family is now extinct in name.

Elisha Covell, the father of Joseph L. B., was born in East Glastonbury, Conn., January 18, 1788, son of Elijah and Lydia (Hodge) Covell. Elijah Covell was born May 12, 1755, and his wife August 2, 1756. Their children were: Elijah, born May 16, 1786; Elisha; Silas, May 14, 1789; Edmund, August 29, 1790; Alfred, July 30, 1792 (died in 1795) ; Alvin, April 2, 1794; Alfred (2), February 12, 1796; Imlay, February 13, 1798; and Lydia, August 11, 1800. The parents of Lydia Hodge, mentioned above as the mother of the foregoing children, were Benjamin and Lydia Hodge. The father, born March 21, 1729, lived in Glastonbury, and died April 23, 1799. The mother, born May 24, 1728, died July 20, 1810. Elijah Covell was a farmer, and lived and died in Glastonbury. His death occurred April 21, 1821.

ELISHA COVELL, born January 18, 1788, spent his early life in his native town of Glas- tonbury, attended the district schools, was a bright pupil, and became a man of far more than the ordinary intelligence. He was the second child in a large family, and as there was not work enough at home for all he came to Portland and hired out as a farm hand to Col. Blague, then an extensive farmer and land owner. The Colonel was precise and particular about his work, and he found in young Covell a boy after his own heart. Elisha worked there and attended school, and gained a good education, largely through private study dur- ing several winters. Ile was a great favorite with the Blague family, and was one in the closest attendance upon the Colonel at the time of his death. He afterward married Mary Blague, daughter of the Colonel. She died leaving no children, and in 185t he mar- ried Miss Harriet J. Wilbur, in New York City. She was born in Hartford, Washing- ton Co., N. Y., October 7, 1820, daughter of Thomas and Rachel ( Pease) Wilbur, and is the mother of the following children : Mary L. is living at home, and is unmarried. Marion A. died when a child. Elisha died at the age of thirty years. Joseph 1. B. is the subject of this article. Harriet W. B. is at home, un- married. The father died in June. 1861, and is buried in the Portland Episcopal cemetery. He was a member of that church, and was a Republican politically. He was known as Col. Covell. Though he carried on his farm throughout his active years, he had extensive

investments and interests that placed him among the wealthier capitalists of his day. He owned an extensive property in Vermont; had a large tract of land near East Windsor; had considerable holdings in local companies, and ivas one of the principal owners of quarry stock. He was frequently called to the city of New York on important business errands, and enjoyed an acquaintance among financiers in a number of localities. Very active almost up to the time of his death, he was one of the best known men of his day. In 1854, he built the large house now standing, which is the family home. His widow is still living, and is a remarkably well preserved lady.

Joseph Llewellyn Blague Covell was born at the old homestead in Portland, where he was reared, and has ever since resided. He began his schooling in Portland, and finished in Newburyport, Mass. He was given an op- portunity, while still quite young, to secure a knowledge of practical life, of which he made good use. For a number of years he has had the management of the large farm belonging to the family patrimony, which is universally pronounced the best farir. in the county. Mr. Mr. Covell has carried on a dairy business in Portland, which is counted among the first : has built up an extensive trade in agricultural implements : and is a man of varied business interests. Fraternally he is a Mason of high standing, belonging to Warren Lodge, A. F. & A. M .. Freestone Chapter, R. A. M., and Cyrene Commandery, K. T. Mr. Covell has never married, and lives with his widowed mother and maiden sisters. He is a man of unblemished reputation.

SAMUEL 11. PECKITAM. The sixty- two years of Mr. Peckham's life, while not abounding in incident, have left upon hin the indelible impress of hard toil, earnest purpose and a moral character above reproach. By trade he is a blacksmith, his strong sinews and knotted muscles showing a physical strength which is not superior to the fearless courage and robust integrity of his inner life.

Timothy Peckham, his father, was born at Kingston, R. L., and was a stone mason. While a young man he removed to East Haddan. Conn., where he followed his trade for several years, and later he made his home at Deep River, in Middlesex county, in which town he died. He married Harriet Rand, of Hadlyme.

and was the father of six sons and three daugh- ters. Gardner, the first son, was of a roving disposition ; he enlisted in a Connecticut regi- ment during the Civil war and his present whereabouts are unknown. Sarah, the second child and eldest daughter, married Joseph Booth, and lives at Southold, L. I. Elizabeth and Timothy died in childhood. Samuel H. was the fourth child. The next, Nathaniel, married Ella Howell, and removed from Con- necticut to Michigan, and later returned to Middletown, where he died in 1874. The next son was christened Albert T. ; he married Hat- tie Allen, and resides in Langston, Mich. The next and youngest son, Gilbert F., married De- lina C. Miller, and lives in Middletown, Conn., where he represents his ward in the city coun- cil as alderman. Jennette, the youngest daughter is Mrs. John Tillinghast, of South- old, Long Island.

Samuel H. Peckham lost his father when he was very young. He attended the coun- try schools until he reached the age of fifteen, when he commenced learning his trade in the shop of Noah Shipman, at Deep River. He was given board and clothes, and the privi- lege of attending the district school during the winter term of three months. At the end of five years, having thoroughly mastered his trade, Mr. Peckham went to Portland, Conn., where he found work in the shop of William Ranney, which was located directly east of Gildersleeve's shipyard. He continued in this employment for two years, when he entered the service of Thomas Flood, who at that time owned the ferry between Portland and Middle- town, at the same time carrying on the busi- ness of a smith. In 1861 Mr. Peckham came to Middlefield, where he rented the shop which he now owns. He remained there, however, only six months, going thence to Greenport, L. I. This location proving unsatisfactory, he soon returned to Middlefield, where he first rented and afterward bought the shop of Allen Bow. For several years he con- ducted a successful business there, and later removed it to Middletown, where for seven years he was proprietor of a shop in East Court street. During this period, however, he did not change his residence, going from Middlefield to Middle- town each morning and returning at night. This mode. of life did not, however, prove sat- isfactory to him and he again opened his shop
