His literary training was finished at the Lanesboro Academy, and he became a successful teacher, in later life, however. taking up farming. He was a generous man and public-spirited citizen and active in the religious life of his community, being a deacon in the Presby- terian church. Among the early opponents of slav- ery he became a Republican on the organization of that party, and was ever active in any work calcu- lated to further the general welfare.

PETER B. MACKEY, a well-known resident of Ansonia, who has long been prominent in this section as a manufacturer of and dealer in car- riages, was born July 13, 1834, at Esopus, Ulster county, N. Y., a son of George and Sarah ( Burger ) Mackey, and is a representative of a most excellent family.

Alexander Mackey, his grandfather, was a na- tive of Edinburgh, Scotland, and came to this coun- try about 1800. For some years he was a resident of New York City. During the war of 1812 he was a member of a New Jersey regiment, and was stationed at Sandy Hook. His wife, whose maiden name was Catherine Roberts, was a descendant of one of the early Danish settlers of West Jersey. She died in New York City at the age of ninety- four years, and her remains are interred in Green- wood cemetery.

George Mackey, son of Alexander, was born about 1810 in New York City, and was there en- gaged during most of his life in shipbuilding, as a member of the firm of Westervelt & Mackey, at Fourth and Seventh streets, East River. This was a well-known firm. They built the ocean steamers "Washington" and "Herman." of the Bremen Mail Line, which up to that time ( 1851-52) were the handsomest vessels on the ocean; they were pio- neers in the steamship building line, and were among the first to construct ocean-going steamers. They also built the United States steam frigate "Brooklyn," which did notable service in Farra- gut's fleet during the Civil war. Mr. Mackey was a man of great ability and understood his work thoroughly, being especially skilled as a draughts- man. The strict integrity which marked his busi- ness career was but a natural result of his high moral character, and in all lines his advice was sought by young and old. In 1841 he purchased a farm at Keyport, N. J., whither he moved his fam- ily, although he retained his interest in the ship- building business. He died in 1857, aged forty- seven years. His wife, Sarah Burger, was born in Rondont, N. Y., and died at Keyport. N. J .. in 1874, aged sixty-nine years. She was for many years a faithful member of the Reformed Church at Keyport. Mrs. Mocker's ancestors came from Holland in 1640, and located in the vicinity of Kingston, N. Y. (they were connected with the Ostranders and Houghtalings), where the family has since been prominent. Mrs. Mackey's father. William Burger, was a leading citizen of the local- ity in his day, and was extensively engaged in farming and dealing in cattle, holding a govern- ment contract at one time to supply cattle for var- ious nurroses. He also conducted a hotel where the United States mail coaches secured relays. The circumstances of his death are unknown, as

he went to New York City with a drove of cattle and did not return. Of the six children born to George and Sarah Mackey three are living: Peter 13., our subject ; George, a resident of Atlantic Highlands, N. J .; and Melissa. of Keyport, N. J., widow of Joseph Collins. Of the others. Frederick enlisted in Company H, 48th N. Y. V. 1., and served four years in the Civil war; he was wounded at Fort Wagner, died some months later, and was buried in Florida.

Peter B. Mackey passed his boyhood chiefly in New Jersey, his parents removing there when he was six years old. He learned the trade of car- riagemaker with an uncle, Peter S. Burger, in Hudson, N. Y., serving an apprenticeship of five years. While serving his time with his uncle the latter obtained an order for a coach from ex-Presi- dent Van Buren. Wishing to consult him in re- gard to some matter in connection with this order, Mr. Burger took his nephew with him to Kinder- hook, and while there they dined with Mr. Van Buren. After leaving his uncle Mr. Mackey work- ed as a journeyman in New Haven, for Hooker & Osborn, and later in Williamstown. Mass. ( where he married his first wife), and for James Gould in Albany, N. Y. About the time of the Civil war he took a position as foreman for Tuttle, Paine & Co., of Naugatuck, and in 1869 he settled in An- sonia, where he was associated in business for the first three years with C. H. Styles. Later he as- sociated himself with Nechols French and W. E. Curtis in the shop known as the J. B. Downs fac- tory, for manufacturing and repairing carriages and wagons, the partnership continuing some years. After one year alone Mr. Mackey sold out and in- vested in the kindling-wood business, which he con- ducted some time, and his next enterprise was at Bridgeport, where he conducted a large carriage factory for fifteen years. In 1895 he returned to Ansonia, and in a small way engaged in painting and repairing at No. 226 Wakelee avenue. He is Jess active in business than formerly. He owns his residence, which is an attractive home, built by himself. As one of the oldest business men in the city he has watched its growth with interest from a town of 4,000 to its present population of 13.000, and during his stay there all of the finest buildings on Main street have been erected. In politics he is a Republican, and is at present serving as member of the city board of relief, to which he was appointed in the fall of 1000 by Mayor Lock- wood Hotchkiss, for two years. That gentleman's successor recently nominated him for member of the board of assessors, and the appointment was confirmed by the board of aldermen, but as it con- flicted with a law prohibiting the holding of both offices the mayor was obliged to withdraw Mr. Mackey's name. In religious matters he takes a liberal view, and is a member of the First Unitarian Society of Derby : he is a firm believer in the theory of evolution. Fraternally he belongs to George

Washington Lodge, F. & A. M .; is active in Mount Vernon Chapter, No. 35, R. A. M., at present hold- ing the office of scribe ; is also a member of Nauga- tuck Lodge, I. O. O. F. : and of the Order of Amer- ican Mechanics of Bridgeport, in which he has held all the offices.

In 1856 Mr. Mackey married Miss Sarah Stack- pole, of Williamstown, Mass., who died in Bridge- port, in 1892, at the age of fifty-five: her remains were interred in Mountain Grove. Bridgeport. In 1895 Mr. Mackey wedded Miss Rissa A. Downs. who was born in Newtown, a daughter of Amaziah and Catherine ( Powel) Downs, the former of whom was a lumberman and farmer by occupation. Mr. Downs enlisted during the Civil war in Com- pany K. 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery, and died a prisoner at Salisbury. N. C., at the age of forty- two. Mrs. Catherine ( Powel) Downs died aged fifty-six. and of her seven children only three are now living: Mrs. Mackey; Josiah ; and Almond. While both of her parents were devout members of the Episcopal Church, Mrs. Mackey is a Unitar- ian in faith. Mr. Mackey has one son by his first marriage. George W. Mackey, who married Miss Nellie Johnson, and is employed as foreman in the machine department of the Deoxidized Bronze & Metal Co., of Bridgeport.

EDWARD MILLER, manufacturer of Meriden, founder and long president of the well-known house of Edward Miller & Co., is a representative of fam- ilies who for generations have lived and occupied honorable positions in society and business in the towns of Wallingford and Meriden. Mr. Miller was born Aug. 10, 1827. in Wallingford. son of Joel and Clarissa ( Plum) Miller, and grandson of Rev. Samuel Miller and Seth D.

Edward Miller was reared on his father's farm, and had such school privileges as were afforded the sons of the general farmer of that day. Besides at- tending the public schools of his neighborhood he spent a few terms in the Post Academy, in Meriden. When fifteen years of age he worked for a time in the small factory of Horatio N. Howard, in Meri- den, and learned how to make lamp screws, hoops and candlestick-springs. Following this experience he was employed for two years with Stedman & Clark, manufacturers of similar goods. This brought him to the period when, though yet in his 'teens, he began a business career on his own ac- count. . Purchasing a set of tools, he associated him- self with his father, under the name of Joel Miller & Son, and began in a small way the manufacture of a similar line of goods in which he had been en- gaged for others. This partnership lasted less than two years when the son, then only twenty, pur- chased his father's interest in the business and his own legal time up to his majority, paying for both $800, giving his notes in payment. Suffice it to say that the young man's operations were so suc- cessful that before the end of the following year his. notes were paid out of the profits of the business. Through great industry, honorable dealing and hon- est effort Mr. Miller soon developed a great and growing business, and found larger quarters nec- essary. He erected a wooden structure on the site of the present works, which, together with practi- cally its contents, was destroyed by fire in the early part of 1856. Though the blow was a severe one, which swept away the accumulations of years, Mr. Miller met the situation with the fortitude and per- severance characteristics of the man, and before the close of the year the factory was rebuilt and was again in running order. This misfortune and its follower, the panic of 1857, were keenly felt, and for a time somewhat dampened his ardor, yet he pulled through and was soon again on the way to success. In January, 1858, he went to New York in search of some novelty for manufacture and there saw the kerosene burner, which had just been brought from Vienna, Austria. Returning to Meriden, he deter- mined to make the burner, though in an improved form. Mr. Miller deserves the distinction of being the first in America to make and put upon the mar- ket the kerosene burner, for burning kerosene oil made from distilled coal. This led also to the manti- facture of lamps, bronzes, sheet brass, and various forms of utensils made from that metal. The fac- tory was soon taxed beyond its capacity, necessitat- ing successive enlargements. In 1866 it was deemed wise by Mr. Miller to associate with himself other capitalists in the business, so in July of that year a joint-stock company was formed, and the business was continued under the name of Edward Miller & Co., the capital stock of the concern being $200 .- 000. Under the wise direction of its president. Mr. ! Miller, the business of the company was so enlarged that the factory now covers several acres of ground

and gives work to nearly eight hundred employes. In speaking of this establishment some years ago the Meriden Journal said :

The company's prosperity is such that it knows no dull periods or its workmen no want of employment. The departments are fully equipped with all the most modern machinery that can aid in the rapid and perfect produc- tion of goods. It is the rule in the manufacture of their goods that excellence is the grand thing to be attained, and the high esteem in which their products are held by dealers and consumers warrants the assertion that they realize the end sought. Their products are largely export- ed to foreign lands, and, immense as this business is, it is daily increasing. It would be an impossibility to enuiner- ate the great assortment of articles made by this com- pany. Prominent among them are lamp trimmings of every variety, tinners' hardware, together with brass and bronze goods. Their designs are thoroughly their own. and are selected by those appreciative of the superiority of American goods and American styles over those of for- eign lands. Yet the company keeps a sharp eye on the cen- ters of artistic productions, with a view that none shall excel them. The result is that not only are the designs of art centers equalled, but in most cases excelled by the ad- dition of the American artist.

In 1884 the company began to manufacture the "Roch- ester" lamps. No adequate conception of their value as illuminators could be gained, however, except to see them when lighted. They give a clear, steady, beautiful. yet strong, light, that is proof at first sight of their superiority. Over one thousand different designs of the "Rochester" are made, varying from the "Rochester, Jr. " to the "Mam- moth," capable of flooding the largest hall with a light almost equal to that of an electric arc light.

When the Rochester lamp reached its present standard Mr. Miller, as imitations began to be placed on the market, determined to reach out fur- ther than ever into the realms of light production. Every principle of the new lamp must have a sci- entifie basis, and no detail be omitted which would affect its working in the slightest degree. The re- sult of his experiments finds expression in the "Miller" lamp. It is simplicity itself. It has no dirt pocket, and cannot get out of order; the central draft, through a solid, seamless brass tube, cannot leak; it has the screw adjustment and plunge move- ment, to be used at pleasure, both perfect ; oil can- not drip down the tube, and, to crown all, it has the best and simplest device for re-wieking ever invented. Naturally Mr. Miller takes great pride in this latest achievement. Every point of import- ance is different from all other lamps, and each new principle is fully covered by patents.

President Miller, in his political views, is a Re- publican, though he never sought public office. His religions connections are with the Broad Street Baptist Church, of which he is a liberal supporter. In 1869 he gave the church an elegant organ. For years he was treasurer of the Connecticut Baptist Educational Society. He gives liberally of his means to all worthy benevolences, contributed large- ly toward the erection of the German Baptist Church edifice, has remembered substantially the Connecticut Literary Institute, at Suffield, and the Y. M. C. A. at Meriden.

On Aug. 30. 1848. Mr. Miller was married to Caroline M. Neal, who was born April 14. 1830,

daughter of Joseph and Matilda ( Barnes) Ncal, of Southington, Conn., and to her wise counsel and advice Alr. Miller generously aseribes much of mis prosperity and success. The following three of their five children survive: Edward Miner, Jr., a graduate of Brown University, is the secretary and treasurer of the Edward Miller Co .; Arthur E. Miller is superintendent of the same company ; and Layette A. is the wife of Charles A. Kendrick, of Meriden.

HON. GEORGE AUSTIN FAY, who for many years has been one of the leading lawyers of the New Haven County Bar, and located in the city of Meriden, has been a resident of his adopted city and State for forty and more years, and been en- gaged in the practice of law there, largely in litiga- tions for corporations, for nearly that length of time. Born Aug. 29, 1838, in the town of Marl- boro, Mass., Mr. Fay is a son of the late George W. and Amanda Almina ( Ward) Fay, of Marlboro, and a descendant in the seventh generation from John Fay, his first American ancestor on the pa- ternal side, who was born about 1648, in England.

(I) John Fay was born about 1648. in England. and sailed from Gravesend in the ship "Speedwell," in 1656, arriving in Boston in June of that year. Among the passengers were some who were bound for Sudbury, where they had either parents or rela- tives, young Fay among the number. As early as 1669 he is found at Marlboro, where are recorded the births of his children. Mr. Fay soon left Marl- boro for Watertown, where he buried his wife and one of his sons. He married ( first) Mary Brig- ham, and (second) in 1678 Mrs. Susanna Morse, born in 1643, widow of Joseph Morse, and daugh- ter of William Shattuck, of Watertown. Mr. Fay seems to have left Marlboro and gone to Water- town as a means of safety, as on the return of peace, after the close of King Philip's war, he returned to Marlboro, and there died in 1690.

(II) John Fay (2), son of John the emigrant. was born in Marlboro, Mass., Nov. 30, 1669. On Dec. 1, 1690, he married Elizabeth Wellington, who was born Dec. 29. 1673, a daughter of Ben- jamin and Elizabeth (Sweetman) Wellington, and died in March, 1729. He married (second) Dec. 16, 1729. Levinah Brigham, who survived him un- til March 8, 1749. Mr. Fay settled in that part of Marlboro which later became Westboro. and after the incorporation of the latter he became one of its most prominent citizens, and filled the principal town offices. Ile died in 1747. Of his ten chil- dren the births of the four eldest are recorded in Marlboro.

(III) John Fay (3), son of John (2). was born Dec. 5. 1700, and died Nov. 10. 1732. On April 17, 1721, he married Hannah Child. He became a large land owner, and lived in Marlboro and North- boro. His widow wedded Samuel Lysconb, of Southboro.

COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

(IV) Josiah Fay, son of John (3), was born Feb. 4, 1731, and died Aug. 8, 1776. He was mar- ried March 22, 1757, to Mary Bent, who was born April 18, 1737, a daughter of Peter Bent. of Marl- boro, and died in 1831, the mother of nine children. Josiah Fay settled in Southboro, Mass., about 1750, and was sergeant in the expedition to Crown Point in 1756, was warden in 1769, and selectman 1770- 71-75. He commanded a company of minute men who marched in the early morn of April 19, 1775, to Concord. The battle was fought before he ar- rived, but he followed on to Cambridge. He was ordered to Dorchester Heights, and there stayed during the occupation by the British of the town of Boston. He enlisted in the army during the war, was promoted to the rank of major, was wounded in the battle of White Plains. and was ordered to New York City, where he died in the service of his country, Aug. S, 1776. His sword was in the possession of his grandson, Peter Fay, of Southboro, in 1883.

(\') Josiah Fay, son of Major Josiah, was born June 10, 1758, and was a twin of Mary. He settled first on the old homestead in Southboro. and there remained until 1799, when he removed to Marlboro. By occupation he was a farmer, and he also manufactured nails by hand, being a very skillful mechanic. He was selectman in 1775, field drummer in 1787, and constable in 1791. He had the title of captain, and was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. His death occurred at Marl- boro Feb. IS, 1845.
