of George Ireland, of New York, and for many years practiced his profession with skill and success in that city. As early as 1828 he obtained a patent on rubber compounds.

Dr. Howe was in the lead as the first practical and successful pin manufacturer by means of auto- matic machinery, one of the most useful inventions of the country. His death occurred in 1876, when aged eighty-four years.

DANIEL HUMISTON. Only those lives are worthy of record that have been potential factors in the public progress, in promoting the general wel- fare, or advancing the educational or moral in- terests of the community. Daniel Humiston, of Cheshire, was ever faithful to his duties of citi- zenship, and by the successful conduct of his busi- ness interests not only promoted his individual suc- cess, but also advanced the general prosperity. In his life span of seventy-seven years he accomplished much, and left behind him an honorable record, well worthy of perpetuation. He was born in the town of Cheshire, Sept. 23, 1788, and died Oct. 22, 1865.

The Humiston family is one of the oldest and most respected in New Haven county, where it was founded about 1650 by Henry Humiston, who spent the remainder of his life in Wallingford, dying Jan. 16, 1663. He was married Aug. 28, 1651, to Joanna Walker, and they had four children, namely : Sam- uel, born Ang. 7, 1652; Nathaniel, Jan. 13, 1654; Thomas, Oct. 19, 1656; and Abigail, May 17, 1661.

James Humiston, grandson of the progenitor of the family in this country, was born in New Haven, and from there removed to Wallingford, where he died Aug. 17, 1747. On Jan. 7, 1719, he married Sarah Atwater, and in their family were six chil- dren: Daniel, born Nov. 16, 1721; Stephen. born Nov. 9, 1723; Noah, born March 1, 1729, died Sept. 3, 1729: James, born Oct. 28, 1734 (married Abiah Ives) ; Hannah ; and Noah, born June 13, 1745.

Daniel Humiston, a son of James, and the grand- father of our subject, was born in Wallingford, and when a young man came to Cheshire, where he owned land and engaged in farming throughout his active business life. There he died July 27, 1767, and was buried in Cheshire cemetery. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Abigail Doolittle, died Jan. 1, 1800, at the age of eighty-three years. In their family were eight children, whose names and dates of birth were as follows: Sarah, Dec. 14, 1744; Ifannah, March 2, 1747; Stephen, July 17, 1751 : Lydia, March 17, 1754; Patience, Nov. 28, 1756: Daniel, April 10, 1759; John, June 30, 1761 ; and Jesse, March 12, 1764.

reared. on his father's farm in Cheshire, and after I his marriage located on a farm in West Cheshire, where he spent the remainder of his life, devoting his time and attention to agricultural pursuits. He was well known and highly respected. He died March 12, 1832, and was laid to rest in the family cemetery, in Cheshire. He married Lois Doolittle, a daughter of Amos Doolittle, and she departed this life Feb. 8, 1847, at the age of eighty-four years. Politically he was a Whig, and religiously a mem- - ber of the Episcopal Church. His children were Daniel, our subject ; Lois, who died at the age of twenty; Jesse A., who married Eliza Preston, daughter of Reuben Preston; Alma, who married Samuel Hull, of Cheshire; and John, who married Rhoda Nichols, of Wolcott, Connecticut.

At the age of three years Daniel Humiston re- ceived a physical injury which it was thought would unfit him for the active work of farm life, hence it was determined to prepare him for a pro- fession. He pursued a thorough course in the Episcopal Academy of his native town, from which he graduated at the age of seventeen, his scholar- ship being highly commended by his teachers and classmates. His ailment having, meantime, been much alleviated, he resolved to engage in farming, to which occupation he was always partial. He in- dustriously pursued that vocation as his life work, and was rewarded with a fair measure of success, owning and successfully operating a tract of 165 acres of land in the western part of Cheshire, upon which he made extensive improvements. He died upon his farm and was laid to rest in the Cheshire cemetery. He was an active and prominent mem- ber of St. Peter's Episcopal parish, served as vestry- man of the church for some years and for many years previous and up to his death was parish clerk.

Politically Daniel Humiston was first a Whig and later a Republican. He was a modest, unobtrusive man, with no inclination for public life, but his townsmen, appreciating his good qualities, called him to serve in various offices, and in 1840 elected him as one of their representatives in the State Legislature. He also filled the office of selectman in Cheshire. Those who were most intimately as- sociated with him speak in unqualified terms of his sterling integrity, his honor in business and his fidelity to all the duties of public and private life. He was faithful to his church, to his country and to his friends, and in his home was a most ex- emplary husband and father. His death occasioned deep regret throughout the community, and Che- shire thereby lost one of its most valued citizens.

On June 16, 1816, Daniel Humiston wedded Juli- ana Ives, a native of Cheshire, and a daughter of Jared and Achsah (Doolittle) Ives. She was a lady of culture and refinement, an excellent wife and mother, and a consistent member of the Epis- copal Church. She died Dec. 23, 1833, and was laid to rest in St. Peter's Church cemetery. In the

sided on the home farm until his death, Nov. II, 1884; John D., who was engaged in business in New York, and there died Jan. 19, 1867; and Julia A., the only survivor. Miss Julia resides in West Cheshire, and is beloved and respected by all who know her. With a charity that knows no limit, she scems to find her greatest happiness in doing good to those around her. Even the dumb animals have received her attention, and for them she placed a watering tank in West Cheshire ; she gave to the vil- lage the town clock; a receiving vault in Cheshire cemetery ; and many other things. She takes a deep interest in educational affairs, is highly intellectual and cultured, and is quite popular with the public.

EDWIN YALE BULL, one of the highly re- spected and well-known citizens of Yalesville, has been a resident of this community for more than half a century, and he is known as one of the most widely read and thoroughly posted men of Walling- ford. Mr. Bull was born in the town of Meriden. Feb. 19, 1823. a son of William Bull, also a native of Meriden. William Bull was a well-known citizen of Meriden, where he worked at his trade and cul- tivated his farm. In politics he was a Democrat. and in religion a Universalist. Ruth Hall. his wife. was born Ang. 25. 1789. a daughter of Benajah and Ruth ( Francis) Hall. and she died in Meriden.

Edwin Yale Bull was educated in the common schools of Meriden, and in the Connecticut Literary

Institute of Suffield. He started life for himself at an early age, his first work being the burnishing of spoons at the munificent salary of forty-five cents per gross. When not employed in the shop he worked at home on the farm. After a time he was taken into the German-silver shop at Meriden as a buffer, and then was made a forger of fine wares. For some years he was employed in a Britannia spoon factory, and for three and a half years worked for Steadman & Clark, with whom he thoroughly learned the tin and sheet iron trade. For ten years he was a journeyman worker at this trade, and in 1853 came to Yalesville to take a place as a die sinker, a trade he mastered for him- self, and one in which he takes a high standing. The following year he secured a similar position with Garry I. Mix, at $2.00 per day, which was gradually increased to $2,000 per year. In 1860 Mr. Bull entered the employ of R. Wallace & Co., where he remained for two years, and he was two years with Hall, Elton & Co., when he resumed his work with G. I. Mix. For twenty-five years he was steadily at work as die sinker, but for the last twelve years he has lived a retired life, spending his leisure hours in the making of violins, in which he seems to have the touch of a genius. Violins that come from his hands give forth the sweetest tones, and his name is familiar to all who love this king of musical instruments.

Mr. Bull is a ripe scholar, and is a man of wide reading. Latin, French and other languages have been mastered by him, and he is familiar with clas- sical lore. In politics he is a Republican, and was a member of the "Wide Awakes" in the first Lincoln campaign. Mr. Bull has been assessor of the town, and holds the unstinted confidence of his fellow citizens. He began life as a poor boy, and by in- dustry, economy and forethought has become well-to-do. Mr. Bull has never married, and has lived a life of kindly deeds, finding delight and companionship, not only in the world of books, but in the great open world of nature around him.
