Later the firm became Smith Bros. & Co., and still later Andrew H. sold out to his brother Ira and his son, early in the year 1881. From Hamden he removed to New Haven, where under the name of A. H. Smith & Co. he has ever since continued successfully the manufacture of machine needles. He is a member of the New Ha- ven Chamber of Commerce, and one of the promi- nent and influential business men of the city.

FREDERICK W. IVES. The Ives family is one of the old and honored ones of New England. The first of the name in the vicinity of Meriden, Conn., was Jolin Ives, of Wallingford, a son of William Ives, who came hither from England.
John Ives (2), son of John, was born in 1660, and in 1693 married Mary Gillette, in Meriden, and died in 1738.
John Ives (3), son of John Ives (2), was born in 1694, and in 1719 married Hannah Royce, and died in 1795; her death occurred in Meriden, in 1770.
John Ives (4), son of John Ives (3), was born in 1729, and married first Mary Hall, who died in 1788, and his second wife, Sarah, died in 1804; he died in 1816.
Othniel Ives, son of John (4) and Mary Ives, was born Aug. 17, 1779, and married first Oct. 28, 1800, Sarah, a daughter of Nathaniel Yale, and second, Oct. 26, 1815, Rosetta Yale. Othniel Ives resided in the eastern part of Meriden, Conn., where he was a farmer and large landowner, and where he died Nov. 22, 1829, his burial taking place in Broad street cemetery. He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church. The children of his first mar- riage were: Eliza, born Jan. 17, 1804, married Edwin R. Yale, who was born Aug. 8, 1804; Elias Yale, born Jan. 7, 1806, married Cornelia Pomeroy ; Eli, born Jan. 7, 1809, married Gelina Ann Pom- eroy; Othniel, born Nov. 26, 1812, married first, Julia Cook and second, Mary Howard. The chil- dren of his second marriage were: Isaac, born Jan. 27, 1817, married Eloise White; Sarah Rosetta, born Nov. 23, 1818, married Rev. Harvey Miller, a prominent Baptist clergyman of Meriden ; Juliette, born May 13, 1822, married Eli Butler ; John, born Dec. 25, 1825, of the firm of Ives, Upham & Rand. of Meriden, Conn., first married Alina Birdsey, and second, Wealthy S. Merwin; Frederick Wightman. born Jan. 27, 1828; and Russell Jennings (a posthu- mous child, born July 30, 1830, eight months after the death of his father), who first married Flora Ann White, and second, Eliza Ann Yale.
Frederick W. Ives, now one of Meriden's most respected citizens, has for more than fifty-four years been connected with The Edward Miller Man- ufacturing Company. He was born Jan. 27, 1828, a son of Othniel and Rosetta (Yale) Ives, and he was but one and one-half years of age when deatii claimed his estimable father. His mother died March 3, 1833, and he was reared by his uncle, Levi Yale. His educational opportunities were very limited, being confined to irregular attendance at the district school, supplemented with the reading of all books which came within his reach. At the age of sixteen years, Mr. Ives started out to make his own way in the world. His first work was with Ashbel Griswold, at $6 per month, during the suni- mer seasons, and here he remained two years, work- ing in the spoon shop during one winter. Then he went to the farm of Joel Miller, working in the

fields in summer and in the brass shop in winter. This was the start of the great company which has profited by his faithful service ever since.
In 1847 the business now known as the Edward Miller Manufacturing Co., was conducted by its founder, Edward Miller, and during its rise, Mr. Ives has continued with it, in various departments, for fifty years being connected with the brass de- partment, performing for thirty-five years the du- ties of foreman. No more skilled, faithful or es- teemed employe is connected with this establish- ment. Although the vigor of youth is no longer his, he is still active and quite capable of discharg- ing his duties.
Not only in the field of his physical activity is Mr. Ives known and highly regarded, but his acts of charity and deeds of benevolence have given him a warm place in the hearts of those in the community who have known him these many years. He is a man of great intelligence, well read, and not only has strong convictions, but has the courage to live up to them. Although not connected with any special religious body, his life testifies to his Chris- tian principles. His modest home on Broad street is made one of tender affection, by his two devoted daughters.
On June 17, 1862, Mr. Ives was married in Branford, Conn., to Frances M. Jones, who was born in Wallingford, a daughter of Erastus and Lucy (Elliott) Jones. The three daughters born to this union were: Rosa Juliet, who died young ; Nettie Aline, who was educated in the Meriden high school, is a lady of culture and refinement ; and Frances Rose, who is also a graduate of the Meri- den High school, and a most successful teacher in the Parker avenue school. Both are most estimable ladies, prominent in educational and church circles. The mother died Sept. 14, 1886. She and her daughters were connected with the Baptist Church, from youth. In politics, Mr. Ives was formerly a Democrat, but was one of the first Republican voters, in 1856, to cast a ballot for John C. Fremont.
ELI IVES, deceased. In the death of Eli Ives, on May 13, 1886, the city of Meriden, Conn., lost one of her sterling citizens and active business men, who was through life deeply interested in whatever seemed to promise good to Meriden or her citizens.
Eli Ives was born Jan. 7, 1809, in Meriden, a son of Othniel and Sarah (Yale) Ives. His early rearing was on a farm where he remained until his twenty-fourth year, when, in association with the late Noah Pomeroy, he began the manufacture of tinware. In 1837 young Ives went to Wetumpka, Ala., and began a business in which he retained an interest several years, although residing the greater
part of the time in Meriden. In 1843, he bought the Tyler mills in Yalesville, and here he carried on the milling business and also engaged in the manu- facture of Britannia spoons. In 1849, in company with Bennett Jeralds, he commenced the manufac- ture of these spoons and other articles, in Prospect,
Conn., this business prospering until 1854. In 1852 Mr. Ives became interested in the business of Good- rich & Rutty, and upon being admitted to partner- ship, the firm became Goodrich, Ives & Rutty. Mr. Goodrich retired from the business in 1864, and Ed- win R. Crocker and Nelson Payne were admitted, the firm becoming Ives, Rutty & Co.
Mr. Ives was considered a man of excellent busi- ness judgment and financial reliability, and he was frequently called upon to settle estates and assume responsibilities of a like nature. In his political views he was a stanch Democrat. At the time of his death, he was a member of the board of Com- pensation of the city, and had served both as council- man and alderman, and he presided at the last Democratic town convention held before his death.
Mr. Ives was a man of strict integrity and ever held the confidence of his fellow citizens, and was highly esteemed in every walk of life. It was a source of pleasure to him that the exigencies of business had never made him enter a suit in the courts against any one, nor to suffer in such a way from others. Although he passed man's allotted years, he was active to the last, his vitality being wonderful. Up to within ten days of his death, he had been driving about town, attending to business matters. Several times within twenty years prior to his death, he had been almost at its portals, but his iron constitution and unusual recuperative power had brought him safely through each ordeal.
On Sept. 30, 1830, Mr. Ives was married to Gelina Ann Pomeroy, and these children were born to their union : Noah P .; Sarah E., wife of Anthony R. Parshley ; Isaac O .; Charles P .; Isadore, Mrs. Alfred Ives; and Eloise W., Mrs. Charles R. Fowler.
SAMUEL MILROY was for almost forty years one of the respected citizens of Meriden, where as head of the shipping department of the Meri- den Britannia Co. he was well known to the busi- ness world.
Mr. Milroy was a native of Dumfriesshire, Scot- land, born in 1818 in Kirkcudbright, son of James Milroy, who was born in the same place. The fa- ther was manager of a farm for a country gentle- man. Both he and the mother died when their son Samuel was quite young, and he was thus early thrown upon his own resources. The parents were devout members of the Presbyterian Church. Our subject was reared at his birthplace and trained to farming, remaining with the gentleman who had employed his father until he reached his majority. His education was such as the common schools of the day afforded. On leaving Kirkcudbright he went to Liverpool, England, where he joined the police force and served seven years as an officer. Having heard of the great opportuni- ties offered in the western' world and desir- ing to better his condition, he decided to come to America. and took passage for New York

on a sailing vessel in 1849. His stay in New York City was brief, and he came thence to Middletown, Conn., where he also remained but a short time. His next move was to Meriden, where he accepted a position with the Consolidated Railroad Co. as freight agent and baggagemaster, continuing thus four years. On the formation of the Meriden Britannia Co., by Horace Wilcox, I. C. Lewis and others, Mr. Milroy accepted a position in the ship- ping department, of which he was the head for the long period of twenty-seven years. It is scarcely necessary to comment upon the quality of his work or his worth to the establishment, such a record of continuous service being the best evidence of efficiency and reliability. Suffice it to say that he was faithful to every trust, and retired from his duties with the respect of those who had worked under him and the fullest confidence of his em- ployers. During the last five years of his life he devoted himself to looking after his property. He died suddenly, of heart failure, June 28, 1886, at the home now occupied by his widow and daugh- ter, at No. 52 South First street, Meriden, and was buried in the West cemetery. Mr. Milroy at- tended the Congregational Church. He was a man of quiet habits and domestic tastes, devoted to his wife, home and family, and stood high in the regard of all who knew him, in any of the rela- tions of life. His political support was given to the Republican party, but he was no active partisan or office seeker, having no desire for public prefer- ment. However, he was chosen to represent the Third ward in the city council, and discharged his duties faithfully and well, his services being char- acterized by the same carefulness and rigid hon- esty which marked all his work.
In 1850 Mr. Milroy was married, in Brooklyn, N. Y., to Margaret Scott, also a native of Kirk- cudbright, Scotland, daughter of Thomas and Jes- sie (Thompson) Scott, who were born in that place and died there. Two children blessed this union, John C. and Agnes Jessie, the latter resid- ing with her mother. Mrs. Margaret Milroy is a woman of fine character, possessed of a social, lov- ing disposition, and has been a devoted wife and mother, careful in the rearing of her children, and thrifty in the management of her household af- fairs. She and her daughter are members of and workers in the First Congregational Church.
ALBERT Z. DOWNS was born in Woodbury, Conn., Dec. 31, 1838, a son of Albert Z. Downs, Sr., who was born in Bethany, Conn., in 1806, and died June 19, 1884, in Westville.
Zeri Downs, father of Albert Z., Sr., was born in Bethany, in 1769, one of a large family of chil- dren born to Samuel Downs, of Woodbridge, and died May 3, 1840, in Bethlehem, where he was engaged in business as a tailor and farmer. He married Rachel Sanford, who was born in 1769. a daughter of Elezhu and Sybil ( Dickerman) San- ford, of Woodbridge; she died May 22, 1861. To
this union was born the following family: Wealthy, who married a Mr. Cowles, and lived in Bethlehem ; Anna, who married, first, a Mr. Kimberly, and on his death, Shelton Brown, and lived in Bethle- hem; Willis, who was born in Woodbridge in 1788, married Milicent Gurnsey, and engaged in the grist and sawmill business in Woodbury until his death, June 2, 1860; Lucretia, who married Fred- erick Ludington, and lived in Bethlehem, where she died in 1843; Betsy, who was born in 1804, died unmarried Jan. 11, 1849; Louis, a mechanic, who married Louisa Buell, and lived in Derby; Albert Z .; Frederick, who married Phoebe Hawley, and engaged in farming in Bethlehem; Brintha, who married William Cash, a sea captain, and had her home in Groton, Conn .; Henry, who was born in 1817, married Fannie Gabriel, in New Haven, and died in 1872.
Albert Z. Downs was married, Oct. 12, 1830, to Sarah Pritchard, who was born May 22, 1811, a daughter of James and Sarah (Cook) Pritchard, of Waterbury, and died Dec. 21, 1895. For some time after their marriage they lived in Waterbury, where he was a cabinetmaker, and then moved to Woodbury, and there Mr. Downs engaged in mill- ing. From that point they moved to Bethlehem, and he engaged in a store in New Haven. Their home was brightened by eleven children: Francis H., born May 12, 1832, is now living in Oklahoma ; James I., born Dec. 16, 1833. became an engineer, and died Sept. 3, 1889; Frederick A., born Nov. 22, 1835, married Amanda Bales, engaged in farm- ing in Kansas, and died July 18, 1901 ; Albert Z .; Edward S., born Feb. 15, 1841, married Hattie Umberfield, engaged in paper making, and died Sept. 10, 1880; Sarah L., born April 21, 1843, mar- ried Smith Abbott, and lives in Derby; William P., born Sept. 16, 1845, married Emma Boardman, and lives in Westville; Maria E., born Oct. 31, 1847, married Thomas B. Robertson, and lives in Westville; Ella C., born Oct. 18, 1850, is unmar- ried ; Helen A., born April 21, 1853, married S. Hart Culver, and lives in Seymour ; and Clara J., born May 12, 1855, died Feb. 5, 1860. Five of these served their country faithfully and well dur- ing the Civil war: Francis H. served in an Indi- ana battery; Frederick A. in the Ioth Iowa V. I .; Edward S. in the 6th Conn. V. I. with his brother Albert Z .; and William P. in the 27th Conn. V. I., and later spent two years in the navy. It is a re- markable fact that on the expiration of their first enlistment each one of these brothers re-enlisted.
Albert Z. Downs lived in Woodbury until he was eleven years old, and attended the Miner Town district school. When he removed to Bethlehem he attended winter school for five years, being en- gaged on the farm in the summer season. In 1855 he came to Westville, and has been here to the present time. He learned the blacksmith trade. spending four years in his apprenticeship.
Mr. Downs enlisted in Company F, 6th Conn. V. I., and was mustered into the United States

service Sept. 7, 1861. In 1863 he was detailed to service as armorer, and on Dec. 4, 1863. he re- enlisted. He was mustered out Aug. 21, 1865, after having seen much active service. Returning to Westville, he began work for A. Beecher & Sons, match manufacturers, being employed by them as a machinist and blacksmith, and is still with that firm.

In his religious belief he is a Congregationalist, and is the clerk and a deacon of .the Westville Congregational Church, having been clerk for sixteen years.
GEORGE ALBERT LEWIS. On the paternal side Mr. Lewis' family is of French extraction. The patronymic was originally Louis, and the first pro- genitor on American soil was Jean Louis, a French Huguenot, who was knighted on the field of battle by Henry of Navarre. He emigrated from his na- tive land to Sandwich, England, and thence in 1635 to America, making the voyage in the ship "Her- cules." He adopted the English orthography of both Christian and surnames, and was known as John Lewis. He and his wife, Sarah, were the parents of Joseph Lewis, of Simsbury, who is the next ancestor in the line of George A. Lewis.
(II) Joseph Lewis, of Simsbury, on April 30, 1674, married Elizabeth Case, and was the father of Joseph (2).
(III) Joseph Lewis (2) became a deacon in the church. He married Sarah Andrus, a daughter of Abraham Andrus, their marriage taking place April 7, 1703.
(IV) Samuel Lewis, son of Joseph (2), and the great-grandfather of George A. Lewis, was united in marriage May 19, 1743, to Hannah Pew, who died July 2, 1754.
.
(V) Milo Lewis, son of Samuel, married Susan, daughter of Daniel Beecher, and became the father of four sons and three daughters: Thomas, Sam- uel J., George, William, Mary, Jane and Caroline. Thomas was a woolen manufacturer of Nauga- tuck, in which town he passed his life. George was a practicing physician in New York until failing health necessitated his retirement; he died in St. Paul, Minn. William was a farmer, and in addi- tion to agricultural pursuits conducted both a wheelwright's shop and a cotton mill, at Cotton Hollow, in the township of Naugatuck. Mary mar- ried Abram Beecher, who lived in the South, and
is long since dead. Jane married James Aldridge, who died many years ago; she now lives in Den- ver. Caroline became the wife of Deacon John Merriman, who was for many years connected with one of the banks of New Haven, in which city he was born and where he died.
(VI) Samuel .J. Lewis, son of Milo, and fa- ther of George A., was born in Naugatuck in June, 1817. He married Mary E. Lewis, who was born in New Haven June 3, 1818, daughter of Edwin E. Lewis. A brief genealogical history of her family may be found in the succeeding paragraph. About 1843, shortly after their marriage, Samuel J. Lewis and his wife came to live in Naugatuck. and in 1845 Mr. Lewis organized the Goodyear's Metallic Rubber Shoe Co., of which he was made president, retaining that post until his death, which occurred in 1858, He was a Whig in politics, and a Con- gregationalist in religious faith, and was instru- mental in building the church of that creed in Naugatuck ; he was a liberal supporter of its vari- ous enterprises, and always took a prominent part in directing its affairs. Mrs. Mary E. (Lewis) Lewis died June 12, 1850.
Rev. John Lewis, maternal great-grandfather of George A. Lewis, died April 9, 1792. He was a minister of the Presbyterian Church. He was twice married, and had issue by both unions, Edwin E., the maternal grandfather of our subject. being the only son by the second wife, Eunice ( Williams). Edwin E. Lewis was born Nov. 9, 1790, in Rocky Hill township, Hartford Co., Conn. During the greater part of his life he was engaged as a mer- chant in North Carolina, and in his later years he made his home in Oxford, Conn., where he died May 27, 1880. He married Maria Tomlinson, who was born Aug. 1, 1789, in what is now Oxford, Conn., and died Jan. 10, 1868. She was the third child and eldest daughter of David Tomlinson, an extensive farmer and merchant of Oxford, Conn., who died March 24, 1822, at the age of sixty-one ; he married Lorena Bacon, daughter of Jabez Bacon, a merchant of Woodbury, and their family num- bered fourteen children, viz .: Charles, David (I), Maria, David (2), Lorena, Lydia A., Jane C., Ben- net B., George and Jeanette (twins), Mary Ann, Henrietta, Eliza and William. To Mr. and Mrs. Edwin E. Lewis were born five children: Maria A., Mary E., Elizabeth S., Jane C. and Edwin A. Miss Maria A. is the only survivor. Mary E. mar- ried Samuel J. Lewis, the father of George A. Lewis.
George A. Lewis was born at Sharon. Conn., Feb. 1I, 1843, and at the early age of seven years sustained the well-nigh irreparable loss of a moth- er's tender care. He grew up in Naugatuck. re- ceiving his early education in the schools of New Haven and Middletown, and after leaving school spent three or four years in the employ of Messrs. M. & C. J. Camp & Co., of Winsted. The hours were long, from five in the morning to eleven at night ; the pittance paid him was small; and much

of the work was distasteful, his first tasks being those of a boy in the barn. He was not, however, of the sort that falters or grows weary. To phys- ical stamina he joins mental and moral powers of a high order, firm resolve and an almost unlimited ca- pacity for hard work. During the Civil war he obtained employment for a few months as a clerk in the commissary department of the army, and in 1864 he returned to Naugatuck to become book- keper for the Goodyear's Metallic Rubber Shoe Co. There he displayed such natural aptitude for the management of important affairs, such untiring en- ergy and such absolute fidelity to every trust, that he rose to be secretary, and finally treasurer and general manager. He continued to discharge the arduous and responsible duties of this position with characteristic faithfulness and zeal from 1877 to 1898. In the year last mentioned he accepted the presidency of the Beacon Falls Rubber Shoe Co., a concern whose growth and development he has materially aided in stimulating. Meanwhile, in 1883, he had been made president of the Naugatuck National Bank, which incumbency he still retains, and he is also conspicuously identified with other local corporations, of a semi-public nature. Mr. Lewis is recognized as one of Naugatuck's sub- stantial, public-spirited and influential citizens. He is a Knight Templar Mason, although not partic- ularly active in the councils of the fraternity. He has for many years been a consistent member of the Congregational Church, to the support of which he contributes generously. His handsome resi- dence stands on an eminence overlooking the bor- ough, and his home is one of the most beautiful in that center of charming homes.
