The early education of William E. Curtiss was secured in the common schools of Newtown. In 1864, at the age of fourteen, he enlisted as a private in the Third Battery, and served until the close of the war, much of the time having been spent on the breast works at Petersburg. Upon his return to the North in 1865, he learned the blacksmith's trade in Oxford. New Haven county, serving an apprenticeship of three years and eleven months with Nicholas French. He then worked as a jour- neyman for a short time for Wesley Cowan, in the town of Trumbull, but later returned to Oxford and worked two years for Mr. French, when the "freshet" broke up the business. In 1875 he lo- cated at Ansonia, and after working one year for French & Mackey he engaged in business with Peter B. Mackey, continuing two years.

CORNELIUS W. MUNSON. Among the en- ergetic, enterprising and successful citizens of Bea- con Falls, none stands higher in public esteem than the subject of this sketch, who follows both car- pentering and farming. \ native of New Haven county, he was born in Waterbury Sept. 14, 1846. and is the only child of Cornelius and Polly ( Wel- ton) Munson, the former born in the town of Oxford, the latter in Waterbury.

The mother died Feb. 12, 1885, at the age of seventy years.
When Cornelius W. Munson was five years old his mother married again and removed from Water- bury to a farm in Wolcott, where he grew to man- hood, his education being acquired in the schools 'of the neighborhood. Returning to Waterbury, he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed at that place for five years, and then came to what is now the town of Beacon Falls, but which at that time was known as Oxford, where he worked at his trade for the same length of time. The following year he operated his step-father's farm in Wolcott. and then returned to Beacon Falls, where he has since worked at his trade in connection with farm- ing, owning and cultivating a valuable place of 135 acres, a mile and a half from the village of Beacon Falls.
On Dec. 26, 1869, Mr. Munson was married to Miss Jennie L. Osborn, a native of Bethany, this county, and a daughter of George and Cynthia (Brooks) Osborn, well known farming people. Fra- ternally our subject is a member of Court High Rock, Foresters of America, of Beacon Falls, and religiously is a member of the Episcopal Church. He affiliates with the Democratic party, and for the past ten years has been a selectman, with the ex- ception of a year or two, now serving as first se- lectman.

MRS. CLARA BEISIEGEL, nee Schwartz- weller, is well known and highly respected through- ont the town of Woodbridge, New Haven county, where she has made her home for almost half a century. She was born July 17. 1830, in Bavaria, Germany, and possesses many of the admirable characteristics of the Teutonic race which make them so thrifty and contented a people.
Matthias Schwartzweller, the father of Mrs. Beisiegel, was born in the Province of Bavaria in 1798, son of Jolin and Margaret Schwartzweller, who spent their entire lives there. The grandfather of our subject was an extensive farmer and proper- ty owner, and her father also followed agricultural pursuits in his native province until called to his final rest. in 1886.

Mrs. Beisiegel was reared and educated in her native land, and in 1853 emigrated to the United States, locating in Maine, where she secured em- ployment. Being unable to give up thoughts of the Fatherland, she soon returned to Germany, but after visiting her old home she again crossed the ocean, landing in New York. Not long afterward, at the age of twenty-six, she was united in marriage with Jacob Beisiegel, also a native of Germany, who was born Dec. 25, 1827, in Hessen-Darmstadt, son of Philip and Katherine ( Miller) Beisiegel, who had thirteen children. Philip Beisiegel, father of Jacob, was a farmer and property owner, and was engaged in agriculture until his death, which occurred before his son emigrated to this country. Mrs. Katherine Beisiegel, mother of Jacob, came to this country late in life with several of her chil- dren, making her home in Buffalo, N. Y .. until she died, at the age of seventy-nine years. Coming to America in 1854, Mr. Beisiegel found employ- ment in Red Bank. N. J .. for about six months, and then came to Woodbridge, where he was employed

In 1860 he bought the farm situated in the northwestern part of the town, near Milford meadow. In 1870 he also bought the Giles Perkins farm, where he and his wife spent the greater part of their lives, and where his youngest son now lives. Mr. Beisiegel died Jan. 28, 1894. He was a Republican in politics. and always manifested a lively interest relative to the welfare of the town.
To Mr. and Mrs. Beisiegel were born children as follows: . Mary A. is the wife of Albert Liefeld, of New Haven, and they have two children ; Kate. is a trained nurse, having taken a course in the Connecticut Training School for Nurses; Jacob, a prominent farmer of Woodbridge, is represented elsewhere in this volume; Clara is the wife of Ed- win Buhles, of Meriden, now residing in Pasadena, Cal., and has one child ; Julia is the wife of Charles Barker, a farmer of Woodbridge, and they have two children; Amelia resides with her mother; John, born July 19, 1867, died Feb. 24, 1876; Frank B. married Grace Baldwin, of Woodbridge, and they have three sons.

Her family is one of prominence in Woodbridge, and nearly all hold membership in either the Calvary Baptist Church of New Haven or the Congregational Church of Woodbridge.
WILLIAM B. BLACKMAN, for many years a successful business man of Ansonia, was born May 4, 1844, in Easton, Conn., son of Harvey and Phoebe (Treadwell) Blackman. The Blackman family has long been known as one of the oldest in this section, and our subject traces his descent through nine generations to Rev. Adam Blackman, of whom Cotton Mather says: "He was a useful preacher of the gospel, first in Leicestershire and then in Derbyshire, England," and was the first preacher at Stratford, settling there in 1639. Eb- enezer Blackman, grandson of Rev. Adam Black- man, was the ancestor of the Blackman families of Newtown and Monroe. Jehiel Blackman, our subject's grandfather, was a farmer in Monroe, Conn .. and died there.
Harvey Blackman, who was born and reared in Monroe, learned the blacksmith's trade, afterward following business pursuits in Connecticut, and later farming in Michigan. He died in Battle Creek, Mich, in 1888. at the age of sixty-eight. In religious faith he and his estimable wife were Meth- odists, and both were much respected among their
associates. He married Pluebe Treadwell. who was born in Weston, Conn., before the division of the town. Her father, Daniel H. Treadwell, who died at Easton in October, 1867, at the age of eighty-seven, was well known in Fairfield county, where he was engaged in business for many years as a builder and wheelwright. Her mother, Han- nah (Lyon ) Treadwell, was a native of Redding, and died at Easton in July, 1861, aged seventy- seven. Mrs. Phoebe Blackman died at Long Hill, Trumbull, in November, 1844, at the age of twenty- four, when our subject was but six months old. She was the youngest in a family of four children. The last survivor, Sarah, widow of Henry Platt, died in Bethel, Conn., June 4, 1901, aged eighty- three.
William B. Blackman spent his early years in Easton, and attended the common schools until he reached the age of fifteen. Going to Ansonia. he learned the plumber's and tinner's trade with Mar- tin L. Blackman, with whom he remained a little more than six years. He then spent four years in Derby and New Haven, and eighteen months at various points in Michigan and Indiana. In the fall of 1871 he returned to Connecticut, and for several years worked as a journeyman and foreman in Derby and Ansonia. In 1879 he started in busi- ness independently, opening a shop in Main street. Ansonia, where he remained seventeen years, until 1896, when he built a shop at No. 4 Crescent street. For fourteen years of the seventeen his cousin, Charles M. Platt, son of Henry and Saralı Platt, before mentioned, was associated with him in busi- ness, under the firm name of W. B. Blackman & Co. He bought out Mr. Platt's interest in 1897. In connection with plumbing he carried on con- tracting and jobbing, and while on Main street the firm had a large store and dealt in stoves, crockery, glassware, tinware and house furnishing goods. With one exception Mr. Blackman was in business longer in this line than any one else in the city. In 1892 he built a house on the lot adjoining his shop, and his residence was built upon the same lot in 1893. Recently, however, Mr. Blackman sold his house and shop in Ansonia, and removed his home and business to Torrington, Conn., where he is associated with the E. A. Perkins Electric Co., a joint-stock concern doing electrical work, plumb- ing, heating, lighting, etc., and dealing in supplies. Mr. Blackman is superintendent of the plumbing department.
Politically Mr. Blackman has affiliated with the Democratic party. but he believes in the principles of prohibition. His advice has always been valued in local affairs, and he was a member of the board of relief to serve until 1900. Socially he is a mem- ber of the Order of the Golden Cross, and a char- ter member of the Knights of Honor and the A. O. U. W., in both of which he has passed nearly all the chairs. For years he and his wife have been leading members of the Methodist Church, in which
1038

he is now trustee, and has served in nearly all of the offices in the society at various times, including those of secretary, librarian, superintendent and treasurer of the Sunday-school. In 1866 Mr. Black- man married Miss Ella J. Platt, a native of Wash- ington, Conn. Her father, John T. Platt, a promi- nent member of the Congregational Church at Washington, is now eighty years of age. He is well known in his section, where he has been en- gaged in farming for many years and also con- ducted a stage route for a time. Mrs. Blackman's mother, Saralı ( Hopkins ) Platt, a native of Mans- field, died in Washington in November, 1894, aged seventy-nine years, and of three children two are living, Mrs. Blackman and a sister.
