Col. Wooster was naturally a man of affairs- eminently a man of action rather than of theory. He was a born leader of men as well in civil mat- ters as on the field of battle. Besides his legal work he was president of the Derby Gas Co. and of the Birmingham Water Co., and had been con- nected with several other successful enterprises, enjoying the highest esteem of his fellow citizens.

On Oct. 11, 1870, Col. Wooster was married to Miss J. A. Wallace, daughter of Thomas Wal- lace, of Ansonia, who survives him. He was a member of Kellogg Post, G. A. R., and of the Army and Navy Club of Connecticut. The Wooster resi- dence, situated on Clifton aventie, is a model of elegance throughout.

GEN. WILLIAM I HUNTINGTON RUS- SELL, M. A. (Yale, 1833), was a descendant of Lion Gardiner, formerly an officer in the English army, who arrived in New England in 1635, and constructed a fort at Saybrook, Com., which he commanded during the early Indian wars [Apple- ton's Cyclopedia of American Biography, Vol. II, PP. 595-596; Winsor's History of America, Vol. III, PP. 331, 349; Doyle's English Colonies in America, Vol. I, p. 157; Sanford's History of Connecticut, pp. 17-18-20-22-23-28]; of Rev.

William Russell, the American ancestor, came from England in 1638. He left only one son, one year old, and (his wife having previously died) directed in his will that his "son be devoted to God in the way of learning, being likely to prove a use- ful instrument in the good work of the ministry," and designated the person to be his guardian.

This son, Rev. Noahdiah Russell, graduated at TIarvard in [68t, was tutor in Harvard College [ History of English Colonies in America, by Lodge, p. 436], and was one of the ten founders of Yale College and one of the original trustees of Yale

from 1701 to 1713. lle was che of the framers of the famous Saybrook Platform, and was pastor of the First Church in Middletown twenty-five years, until his death, and it was written of him that he "was accounted a man of weight and wisdom throughout the Colony." Such was his faithful- ness and ability that the church immediately after his death sunumoned his son William to succeed him as their pastor. Noahdiah married Mary, daughter of Hon. Giles Hamlin, who came from England and was one of the first settlers and prin- cipal proprietors of Middletown. The prominent and honorable record of Giles Hamlin and family for more than one hundred years is found in Hol- lister's History of Connecticut, Vol. I, p. 510; also in the historical address by Rev. David Field, D. D., at the second centennial of Middletown, Nov. 13, 1850.

William Russell, son of Noahdiah, also a clergy- man, was graduated from Yale in 1709, was some- time tutor at Yale and a trustee of Yale College from 1745 to 1761. He was offered the position of rector or president of Yale College, "and was the first of the alumni to receive that honor from his alma mater," but could not accept because "nego- tiations with the people of Middletown for the re- moval of their pastor were ineffectual" [Kingsley's History of Yale College]. Until his death, in 1761, for a period of forty-six years, he was pastor of the First Church in Middletown, to which he was called immediately upon the death of his father. The pastorates of father and son over that one prominent church covered a continuous period of nearly three-quarters of a century, ending in 1761. Rev. William Russell married Mary, daughter of Rev. James Pierpont (Harvard, 1681), also one of the ten founders of Yale College and one of the original trustees of Yale from 1701 to 1714, and during thirty years ( 1648-1714) pastor of the First Church in New Haven. Another daughter, Sarah Pierpont, married Rev. Jonathan Edwards, D. D. (Yale, 1720), the distinguished theologian and president of Princeton College, and ancestor of three presidents of Yale (Timothy Dwight, presi- dent 1795-1817, Theodore D. Woolsey, president 1846-1871, Timothy Dwight, president 1886-1899), and whose granddaughter married Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton-gin. These Pierponts were descended from Sir Hugh de Pierrepont, of Picar- dy, in France, A. D. 980, whose grandson, Sir Rob- ert de Pierrepont, went from France to England as commander in the army of William the Conqueror in 1066, and was ennobled for his distinguished conduct at the battle of Hastings ( 1066), and from him descended the earls and dukes of Kingston ..

Rev. Noahdiah Russen. M. A. ( Yale, 1750), son of William and Mary ( Pierpont ) Russell, was pastor of one church thirty-seven years. He 4

married Esther Talcott, daughter of Joseph Talcott, treasurer of the Colony of Connecticut thirteen years, 1756-1769, and granddaughter of Joseph Talcott, governor of Connecticut seventeen years ( 1724-1741), who was the first governor of Con- necticut born within its limits, and held the office longer than any predecessor except Gov. Winthrop. She was a great-granddaughter of Major ( Lieut. Col.) John Talcott, a magistrate in the Colony, and who was treasurer of the Colony twenty-six years, from 1652 to 1678. He commanded the "stand- ing army" of Connecticut and their Indian allies in King Philip's Indian war, and was one of the pat- entees named in the charter which King Charles II granted to Connecticut, and one of the three to whom it was intrusted for safe keeping.

Palfrey's History of New England, Vol. III. p. 197.] His father. John Talcott, came from England with Rev. Thomas Hooker in 1632, and was one of the chief magis- trates of the Colony until his death, and one of the wealthiest of the original settlers and proprietors of Hartford, and his name is inscribed upon the monument erected to perpetuate the memory of the founders of the Colony of Connecticut.

Matthew Talcott Russell, son of Noahdiah and Esther, graduated from Yale in 1779, and was tutor in Yale College four years. He entered the legal profession and was State's attorney, and during thirty years was deacon in the First Congregational Church in Middletown. He married Mary, daugh- ter of Rev. Enoch Huntington (Yale, 1759), and a niece of Samuel Huntington, M. A., LL. D. (Yale), signer of the Declaration of Independence. presi- dent of the Continental Congress, 1779, 1780 and 1781, Chief Justice of the Superior Court, and during ten years governor of Connecticut. 1786-' 1796. Mary's father and two brothers all won the Berkeley premiums for scholarship at Yale Col- lege. Rev. Enoch Huntington was a fellow of the Yale Corporation from 1780 to 1808, and secre- tary of the Yale Corporation from 1788 to 1793. He was pastor of the First Church in Middletown forty-seven years, commencing 1762, and three of his brothers were prominent clergymen. He was described as a man of remarkable scholarship. and it was recorded that "on the death of President Stiles of Yale College, in 1795, Mr. Huntington was prominent as a candidate to succeed him, but his failing voice obliged him to decline that honor."

cestor ) came from England, and was one of the original proprietors, first settlers and deacons of Norwich, Conn. [See "Old Houses of the Ancient Town of Norwich," College Library. ]

The only son of Matthew 1'. Russell who mar- ried was Gen. William Huntington Russell. M. A. (Yale, 1833), who was valedictorian of the class of 1833, sometinie tutor, and founder of the Skull and Bones Society at Yale, and that Society per- petuated his name by being incorporated as the "Russell Trust Association." He married Mary Elizabeth Hubbard, daughter of Thomas Hubbard, professor at Yale from 1829 until his death, in 1838, whose other daughter, Frances Harriet Hubbard, married Rev. Simeon North, D. D., LL. D. ( Yale), 1825), professor of Greek and Latin, 1829-1839, and president of Hamilton College, 1839-1857.

Gen. Russell was born Ang. 12, 1809, in Mid- dletown, Conn., where three of his ancestors had been pastors of the First Congregational Church a continuous period of one hundred and eighteen years, and his father deacon for thirty years. From infancy he was surrounded by the most re- fined and thoroughly religious influences. Before entering Yale he was for several years a cadet in the famous military academy founded and conduct- ed by Capt. Alden Partridge (U. S. A.), a grad- uate of West Point, and for twelve years previous- ly professor and military superintendent at tlie Na- tional Academy at West Point. This academy was similar to West Point, having as an object the prep- aration of young men "to command in time of need the hastily raised troops of a great and grow- ing nation," and Gen. Sherman has stated that it at one time almost rivalled the National Academy at West Point. It was this strict military discipline for several years that gave Gen. Russell such a knowledge of military affairs and influenced his life work, which was directly and indirectly so im- portant in the service of his country. From an early age he undertook all the duties and respon- . sibilities of life very seriously and thoroughly.

The death of his father (age sixty-eight, from acute erysipelas ) and changes in the fortune of the family threw the care of his mother ( who had vigor- ous health to the age of eighty-seven ) and her fan- ily largely upon him, and he subsequently entered Yale under circumstances of much financial ad- versity, and hindered by trouble with his eyes. He was self-supporting in college, and in all his fre- quent journeys between New Haven and his home in Middletown (twenty-six miles) was obliged to go on foot, owing to financial necessity. Such was his ability and industry that, in spite of these im- pediments, lie graduated as valedictorian in 1833. at the head of a class which in the Sophomore year had one hundred and twenty-two students, among whom were many who attained much distinction later in life. An old graduate of Yale, referring to William H. Russell, wrote. "I thought him to be the best speaker and scholar I had seen."

Ile was a devout Christian from boyhood through- out life, and letters written by him before and after graduation from college emphasize his purpose not to seek wealth nor honor, but to devote his life to doing good to others, and he hoped to enter the ministry. Urgent financial necessity, and the need of assuming responsibilities left by the death of his father, forced hini to give up his earnest desire to study theology, and he then began teaching, to ob- tain immediate income.

In September, 1836, he opened a new private school for boys, preparatory for college. With no assistance from anyone, and owing only to his per- sonality and scholarship, his school rapidly became large and famous, and when it closed at his deatlı, May 19, 1885, there had been four thousand young men from all parts of this and some foreign coun- tries under his care as pupils. During about halt a century there were at Yale young men who pre- pared for college under his care. He was ever ready to assist young men who without means sought an education. About 1840 he introduced very thorough military drill and discipline into his school, to fit every pupil to serve his country in war as well as to furnish him a sound education for times of peace. At the outbreak of the Rebellion boys from his school were employed to drill the vol- unteer troops for army service, and more than three hundred men who had been his pupils became officers in the army. At the commencement of the war Gov. Buckingham of Connecticut relied upon William H. Russell as the man best qualified by his knowledge of military affairs to organize the militia of the State of Connecticut, and first by ap- pointment of the governor. and later of the Legis- lature, he held the office of major general of the militia of the State until 1870. The present system is largely the result of his long and earnest efforts. His work was of the greatest importance, for the military preparation of the volunteer troops was included in it.

It was written of Gen. Russell that "he was a striking example of the New England life and character ;" that "his personality was a remarkable one, and fitted him to train youth for an upright, independent and conscientious manhood ;" that "he ranked with Dr. Thomas Arnold, master of Rugby School;" that "by his transparent integrity and na- tive vigor of intellect he impressed himself on all his pupils and on every order of mind with which he came in contact :" that "Hon. William H. Rus- sell was a Whig representative in 1846-t847. upon the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in 1854 he became active as one of the leaders of the move.nent which resulted in the organization of the Republi- can party." He took the strongest and most active and conscientious interest in all the religious, polit- ical and social questions of the day, and considered the duties of a citizen most sacred and binding. and he fearlessly exerted his utmost influence in behalf of whatever was right, rather than that which was

expedient. lle was as liberal as possible in sup- . porting many worthy objects. He was a strong Abolitionist and a personal friend of John Brown, the anti-slavery martyr, and in a will which Brown made William H. Russell was named one of the trustees.

Gen. Russell's greatest service was the impres- sion which he made by his character and scholarship and influence upon the four thousand young men who, during nearly half a century, came from all · parts of the country to be his pupils. Gen. Russell was the Connecticut representative on the National Kansas (anti-slavery ) committee before the war, and John Brown was many times a guest at his house.

Throughout life ever ready to assist and protect the weak and unfortunate. the last act of his life '(and cause of death) was characteristic of him. In May, 1885, he saw from his window many street boys throwing stones at the birds in the park in front of his house. He ran out to protect the birds from being injured by the boys, but the boys were numerous and active, the park was large, and he was too old for such prolonged active effort. Re- 'turning to his room, he immediately fell to the floor unconscious from a fatal rupture of a blood vessel (apoplexy), and died, May 19, 1885, aged seventy- six years. He had never had a day of illness pre- vious to his death. Careful investigation of old rec- ords proves that his ancestry was especially con- ducive to vigorous physical and mental health and longevity and freedom from any tendency to dis- ease. His wife died Dec. 11, 1890, aged seventy- four years, having had good health until her last illness.

Immediately after the General's death the vet- eran soldiers of Admiral Foote Post, G. A. R., passed the following resolution :

"Resolved, That on Saturday next, May 30th, and on all future Decoration Days in which we may participate, we will decorate the grave of Major General William Huntington Russell in the same spirit of affectionate respect with which we lay our garlands upon the graves of our comrades."

All of his male ancestors had been college grad- uates since a date previous to the founding of Yale College, and all of his five sons graduated at Yale except one who died of acute dysentery in the Sophomore year.

. THOMAS HUBBARD RUSSELL, PH. B., M. D. ( Yale, 1872), son of Gen. William H. Russell. pursued his studies first under his father and sub- sequently at Clinton, N. Y., under the direction of his unele, Rev. Simeon North ( Yale, 1825), ex- president of Hamilton College: was graduated from the Scientific Department of Yale with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, in 1872; and from Yale Medical Department, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, three years later. In 1872 he accompanied Prof. O. C. Marsh upon the latter's palæontological expedition to the Rocky mountains, and was assistant to Prof. Francis Bacon some

years; resident physician and surgeon to the New Haven Hospital, 1875-1876; and physician to the New Haven Dispensary some years ; and has been attending surgeon to the New Haven Hospital con- tinuously from January, 1878, until the present time. Joining the force of instructors at the Yale Medical Department in 1877, he was three years later appointed Clinical Lecturer on Surgery, and subsequently on other branches of surgery; was Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics from 1883 to 1891, and in 1891 was appointed Pro- fessor of Clinical Surgery, and has occupied that position ever since .. In 1886 hie visited Europe.

On Dec. 21, 1882, Dr. Russell married Mary K., daughter of Lyman E. Munson ( Yale), United States Judge of Montana by appointment from President Lincoln. They have five children, Mary Taleott, Thomas Hubbard, Jr., William Hunting- ton, Eleanor and Edward Stanton Russell. His brothers are Talcott Huntington, B. A., Yale, 1869, LL. B., Columbia, 1871 ; Philip Gray, B. A., Yale, 1876, LL. B., Yale, 1878, late of Washington, D. C., died without issue July 21, 1900, age forty-six, from acute inflammation of the kidney, following appendicitis : and Edward Hubbard, Ph. B., Yale, 1878, inventor of the Russell Processes for Silver Ores, who lives abroad.

LEWIS FITCH (deceased), once known to all New Haven as the leading clothing merchant of the city, entered into rest in 1891, at the age of eighty- nine years. His name in the business world was a tower of strength, his honor was uncorrupted and his fame untarnished. Of kindly disposition and genial manners, he was courteous to all, and won friends wherever he went.

Mr. Fitch was born in Norwalk, Conn., a son of Hanford Fitch. He was educated in the schools of his native town, and upon reaching man's estate he came to New Haven, where he soon engaged in the clothing business. After a time he removed to Macon, Ga., but upon his return to New Haven, re- sumed the clothing business, and so continued until advancing years compelled him to retire. He was very successful in his affairs, and accumulated a large amount of real estate. He builded the block at the corner of Orange and Grove streets, and at Nos. 335. 337 and 339 Orange street. He also erected the block on the corner of Grove and Trow- bridge street, which contains two stores with three floors. above fitted for dwelling purposes. He owed his success entirely to his own unaided efforts, his energy and his business judgment being the potent factors in his accumulation of this world's goods. In his political views he was a Republican, but cared nothing for the honors of public office. He was a communicant of the Church of the Redeemer, and took an active part in its work. For thirty years he served it as an officer.

Mr. Fitch was united in marriage with Louisa Hill, who bore him nine children, of whom but two are yet living: Rev. William F., of Brooklyn ; and

Miss Georgia A. Fitch makes her home in New Haven, surrounded by friends, and she has greatly endeared herself to all who know her by her gener- ous disposition' that sees only the good, and that aims to help the weak and to cheer the disheartened.
