Of these, Mary is yet living in Ireland ; and Patrick came to America, lived in Waterbury for a time, and then went to Wisconsin, where he died. All the rest, except our subject, are also deceased.
(VII) Ichabod Lee Scranton, whose name opens this memoir, received his education in part at the district schools of Madison, in part at Lee's Acad- emy, and at an early age commenced "a life on the ocean wave," first on his father's vessel. At the : age of eighteen he was part owner and master of Michael Donohue, whose name introduces these lines, attended school in his native land, also helped on his father's farm, and at the age of nineteen, came to the United States, landing at New York after a vovage of over seven weeks in a sailing ves- sel, there being no steamships in those days. From New York he came direct to Waterbury, in 1836, and has been here ever since, except for a short the sloop "Falcon" in the produce trade to New York and other ports on the Atlantic coast. For over thirty years he was engaged in the coasting trade, freighting, etc., after which he took up agri- cultural pursuits on the Leete farm at East River, where he is now living retired. Mr. Scranton is a nian of education, well read. well known and highly respected, a member of the Congregational Church, ; time spent in Wisconsin, where he bought 100 acres

of land. He is now the oldest living Irishman in the city, all those that were here when he came be- ing dead. For a time he worked in Benedict & Burnham's factory, before the days of steam power, when bells were rung to call the people to work, and he well remembers the hard times of 1837, when everything was at a standstill, and during that long-to-be remembered financial crisis not a bell was heard from the six factories in Waterbury.
About the year 1840 Mr. Donohue embarked in the grocery business at the corner of Bridge and Baldwin streets, and successfully conducted same for several years, or until 1842, when he retired, having amassed a comfortable competence.
In 1840 Mr. Donohue married Bridget Coyle, a native of County Longford, Ireland, and seven chil- dren were born to this union, a brief record of them being as follows: Thomas (deceased) was a lawyer in Waterbury; Michael (deceased) was a painter ; James died in infancy ; Helen is the widow of Maurice Grelle; Mary A. is a school teacher in Waterbury; Kate is the deceased wife of Albert Beach, of Waterbury; and the youngest died in infancy. The mother of these passed from earth Jan. 16, 1892. In religious faith Mr. Donohue is a member of Immaculate Conception parish, Roman Catholic Church. When he came to Waterbury there was no Catholic priest nearer than New Ha- ven. A Democrat in politics, his first presidential vote was cast for Martin Van Buren ; in municipal matters he has served his adopted city as council- man and as a member of the board of education. He owns considerable property in Waterbury, which he rents, and he is one of the most popular men in the city and vicinity, all his fellow countrymen looking up to him as to a patriarch.
SUMNER WESLEY BRAY, a highly es- teemed resident of Milford, in which town he ranks among the most thrifty farmers, was born in Dover, Maine, March 21, 1838. son of Sumner and Sarah (Shipley) Bray. The family is of English origin, and his great-grandfather was born in England.
Daniel Bray, the grandfather of our subject, was born probably in Maine, where he spent his manhood, engaged in farming. He married, and had the following children : Daniel is a farmer near Houlton, Aroostook Co., Maine; Asa was a farmer in that State; Lebbeus is a Methodist minister ; Comings was also an M. E. preacher : Cyrus is a farmer in Maine: Sumner is mentioned more fully below; Betsey (deccased) was a school teacher ; Jane married Moses Washburn; Phoebe, a school teacher, died unmarried.
Sumner Bray, our subject's father, was born in 1811, in Minot, Maine, and followed farming for many years, dying in 1885. His wife, Sarah ( Ship- ley), was born in Maine, and her father was a native of the same State. They had four children : Mary died unmarried, aged twenty-one; Sumner W., our subject, was next in the order of birth;
Sarah married Elijah Marrell (now deceased), a native of Maine, and a farmer and carpenter by occupation ; Willard is a farmer in Milford, Con- necticut.
Our subject assisted his father on the homestead until he reached the age of twenty-three, and, though his advantages were inferior to those en- joyed by the youth of the present day, he secured a practical education in the neighboring district school, attending until eighteen years old. While under the parental roof he gave his earnings to his father, and his own start in life was accordingly humble, his only capital being a full stock of en- ergy and ambition. Hard work and persevering in- dustry, however, supplied the financial lack, and before many years had elapsed lie was on the high road to prosperity. Shortly after his marriage he located in West Upton, Mass., where he was em- ployed for seven years in a straw factory. Here his native ability for getting the best results in whatever he undertakes soon asserted itself. He began very modestly, but his faithful services and steady habits were noted by his employer, W. Knowlton, who rewarded them with advancement. so that at the end of the period mentioned he had charge of the large farm of that gentleman, who owned 3,000 acres of land, and kept much stock. Mr. Bray also filled numerous positions of respon- sibility in and about the factory, being general su- perintendent of the outside work and having charge of the shipping. In 1870 he left, of his own ac- cord, and came to Milford, New Haven Co., Conn .. taking a similar position in the factory there, and so continued for about fifteen years. At the end of that time he purchased his present farm, but instead of taking possession at once he went to Scarsdale, N. Y., to manage a farm for William Adams, of No. 33 Wall street, New York City. The position came unsolicited, Mr. Bray having the reputation of being a first-class farmer.
Returning to Milford four years later our sub- ject engaged in farming at his homestead, an at- tractive place of fifty-six acres, where he now makes a specialty of raising garden stuff and dairying. Mr. Bray has erected all the buildings on this place, which under his systematic management has been brought to a high state of cultivation. He has succeeded, by constant thrift, in acquiring a very comfortable competence, and has succeeded equally well in maintaining the high standards of integrity and honor which were early set before him. Reared under Christian influences, and impressed with the value of a good name, he has never swerved from the paths laid out for him in his youth, all his transactions bearing the stamp of honesty and straightforwardness. To-day he stands high in the esteem of his fellow men, a credit to his parentage and to the community which has so long claimed him. Mr. Bray is very unassuming in his manners and habits. He takes an intelligent interest in pub- lic affairs, is a stanch Republican in politics, and is

conscientious in the discharge of what he believes to be his duty as a citizen.
In July, 1861, Mr. Bray was united in marriage with Miss Hattie Field, of Garland. Maine, who was born July 16, 1838. a daughter of Capt. Will- iam Field. a well-known sea captain. All Mr. Bray's children were by this union, viz .: Edgar, born May 27. 1863, died in infancy. Ervin J., born Aug. 1, 1864, is married and has three children, Bessie M .. James S. and Helen : he is employed in a straw factory in Brooklyn. Seyston V .. born March 3. 1869, is a conductor in the North Haven freight yard ; he is married and has one child. El- liott. Lillian, born July 11. 1870. died in infancy. Howard E .. born March 9. 1874. died in infancy. William S., born Sept. 25. 1880, died May I. 1901 : he was a most promising young man, superior in every way, and of great help to his father, having always lived at home. The mother of these passed away Nov. 28, 1881. On June 17. 1883. in Mil- ford, Mr. Bray married. for his second wife. Mrs. Martha Ellen ( Dickey) Clements, who was born in 1838 in Cornwallis. Nova Scotia, daughter of George and Sarah Jane ( Bennett ) Dickey, who had a family of nine children. Mr. Dickey was a farmer by occupation. Mrs. Dickey now makes her home with her daughter. Mrs. Bray. in Milford. and. though almost ninety-one years old. is well pre- served and enjoys good health. Mrs. Bray is a thorough business woman, and has proved an effi- cient helpmate to her energetic husband, who at- tributes much of his success to her careful manage- ment and industry. She is a Baptist in religious connection, and our subject is identified with the Congregational Church.
