Deacon Byard Barnes remained at home until his marriage to Dede E. Gill, Nov. 6, 1816. Soon after this he went to Ithaca. N. Y., where he was engaged in farming some two years, then returned to North Haven. A stone cutter by trade, he also worked at cabinetmaking and blacksmithing very successfully, becoming quite well-to-do. He filled the office of justice of the peace for many years. By his first marriage he had three children: Au- gusta, born Aug. 1, 1817; Dede G., born Oct. I, 1819; and Ellen A., born Feb. 15, 1822: Deacon Barnes was married (second) March 31. 1824, to Cleora Lindsey, by whom he had the following children : Andrew, born Feb. 3, 1825; Byard. Dec. II, 1826; Celestia C., Aug. 10, 1828; Marcus L., Dec. 10, 1830; Eli H., July 20, 1832 : Herbert, Feb. 4, 1834; Stewart, July 16, 1836; and Eli Henry (2), Jan. 17, 1838.
Herbert Barnes, whose birth is noted in the above family, is one of the most important factors in the business life of Fair Haven, where his good
sense, sterling honesty and manifest ability have won him success and the confidence of the public. Mr. Barnes has had but little assistance from friends or fortune in climbing the heights to which he has attained. His enterprise, well-directed effort and grim determination to win out, along with deal- ings of the utmost honor, have contributed es- pecially toward his prosperity, and he has arrived at a period where he can look back over the years and congratulate himself that so much has been accomplished by his industry and character.
Mr. Barnes was reared in North Haven, where he attended the local schools, and remained at home with his parents until his marriage, Jan. 28, 1858, to Miss Elizabeth S. Dickerman. To them have been born two children: Edward H. and Arthur D. Edward H. was born Nov. 1, 1860, and on June 20, 1883, married Lula R. Hemmingway. They have two children-Herbert, born Jan. 8, 1884, and Harold H., born Aug. 28, 1886. Edward H. Barnes now takes his father's place in Strong, Barnes, Hart & Co., and has proved himself a busi- ness man. He has many fine traits of character, and is greatly respected among all his associates. (2) Arthur D., born Nov. 14, 1862, was married Oct. 11, 1899, to Anna May Stoner, and they have one child, Elizabeth Sylvia, born July 17, 1900. He is a manufacturer in Philadelphia, being a member of the Murray, Barnes & Murray Co., manufac- turers of chamois leather. He is very prosperous and a capable business man.
Soon after his marriage Mr. Barnes located where he is found at the present time, and where he was successfully engaged in the wholesale 'butcher and stock business until 1872. That year he consolidated his business with that of Strong & Hart, of New Haven, under the firm name of Strong, Barnes, Hart & Co. They carry on a whole- sale meat and cold storage. business, and do the most extensive business of any firm in New Ha- ven. In 1887 Mr. Barnes became a heavy stock- holder in the Swift Packing Co., of Chicago, and holds a position in that organization as one of its di- rectors. He has practically retired from active par- ticipation in business affairs, though his interest has in no way abated.
Mr. Barnes is a member of the Congregational Church, of Fair Haven. Socially he is a Royal Arch Mason, having been associated with the fra- ternity for about forty years. He is a Republican in politics. His pleasant manner wins him many friends, and he is one of the popular and honored citizens of his community.
CHARLES AUGUST SCHMELZER, one of the well-known and enterprising German-Ameri- cans of Meriden, was born at Werdau, Saxony, Ger- many, May 26, 1841, and is a descendant of a long line of notable ancestors.
Gottlieb Schmelzer, his grandfather, was a na- tive of the same town, which was the home of his

family, and devoted his life to the manufacture of woolen goods. A very successful man, he left his family in good circumstances.
Charles August Schmelzer, Sr., son of Gottlieb and father of Charles August, was also born in Werdau and followed his father's business. He was very successful and died at the age of forty- five years. Johanna Wetzel, his wife, was born in Werdau, the daughter of August Wetzel. She became the mother of ten children, eight of whom died while young. Of this family Charles August is the eldest, and the only survivor ; Bruno died in 1897, in his native town. Mrs. Schmelzer died in 1896 in her native town.
Charles August Schmelzer had a good educa- tion in his native town, and upon leaving school was sent by his parents to an adjoining town to learn the woolen manufacturing business, receiving only his board for his four years' services. Returning home on the death of his father, in company with an uncle, he took charge of the manufacturing business, and remained with him . until he reached the age of twenty-two years. At that age he began business for himself, which he continued seven years, when he had to give it up, as the times had set in fatally against his trade. Resolved to retrieve his mis- fortunes, he brought his family to this country in 1871, landing in New York. He found employment in the woolen mills, in Meriden, and remained there for six months. At the end of that time he worked in the screw factory of the Charles Parker Co., six months, and after an absence of several months in New York and Albany, came back to Meriden in 1872, where he was again employed in the screw factory of the Parker Company, and then . in the woolen mill. In 1879 the failure of the mill compelled him to take a position as shipping clerk, with the Malleable Iron Co., where he was busy for a period of nine years.
In 1889 Mr. Schmelzer bought the coal and wood business which was owned by George C. Beadle, and this has been his vocation for the past twelve years. In that time he has built up a very successful business. In 1893 he bought the present place, owned at that time by Walter Hubbard. where he has superior accommodations. Here he has built a coal pocket of ten departments, holding 2,000 tons of coal, and made other improvements, which have cost him over $20,000. In 1873 Mr. Schmelzer started a news depot and stationery business, which has proved very successful. In 1886 he began an express business, which has greatly grown on his hands. In 1897 he began the manufacture of cigars. which he carries on both as a wholesale and retail enterprise ; this has proved highly remunerative, and gives employment to a number of men. Mr. Schmelzer has extensive real estate interests, and is a hustling and energetic business man.
Mr. Schmelzer was married in Germany to Flora Schoen, a daughter of Gottlieb Schoen. and a native of Werdau. To this union were born ten
children, five of whom lived to maturity: Edmund, who is in business with his father; Oscar, who married a Miss Maloy, and died in 1899; Victor, in the drug business on East Main street ; Charles, who lives in Germany with an uncle; and Emma, who graduated from the high school, and also from the Young Ladies' Institute at Hoboken, New Jersey.
In 1875 Mr. Schmelzer secured the agency of the North German Lloyd & Hamburg S. S. Line, which he still holds. In local affairs he is some- what prominent, and for six years represented the Fifth Ward in the city council. In politics he is a. Democrat, but takes a very independent stand. In matters of education he takes a deep interest, and is one of the organizers of the German-American School. Mr. Schmelzer was one of the organizers of the Board of Trade, and his connection with it has been very prominent and highly useful. He has taken a broad view of the commercial interests of Meriden, and a letter of his dated Jan. 18, 1897, and addressed to the directors of the board, was replete with useful information and valuable sug- gestions. It was attended with much discussion, and produced valuable results. Socially he belongs to Teutonic Lodge, No. 95, I. O. O. F., the D. O. H., and the Cosmopolitan Club. He also belongs to the Saengerbund, and was four years treasurer of the Turnverein. The family attends Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church.
