John Hall Francis, farmer and stock raiser, was born on the old homestead. and attended the dis- trict school. He continued his studies at the Meri- den high school, and finished at the Yale Business
College. He was graduated in 1876, and after his return from school he worked on the farm. His father died the following year, and Mr. Francis took charge of the farm, and since that time has been engaged in farming. To-day he is one of the best known agriculturists of New Haven county, and is a type of the honorable and upright farmer, successful in his business enterprises, and thorough- ly independent in his relation to the world. In poli- tics he is an independent Democrat, but has never given thought or time to office seeking. He is a member of Meriden Grange, and in this organiza- tion he has been an esteemed and useful member, filling all the chairs, and being past master at the present time. He is a member of the Episcopal Church, where he has been vestryman for the past eighteen years.
On Oct. 10, 1883, Mr. Francis married Carrie P. Wooding, a daughter of Myron Wooding, and she died Dec. 18, 1887. She was a member of the Episcopal Church. Mr. Francis was married Feb. 21, 1889, to Mabel A. Wooding, who was born in Yalesville, and a daughter of Henry C. and Ellen ( Jeralds ) Wooding. To this union were born four children : Isabel Alice, born Oct. 4, 1890 ; Caroline Mabel, born Nov. 25, 1891; William Henry, born Feb. 17, 1895; and Edward Raymond, born Sept. 5, 1896. Mrs. Francis is a lady of re- finement and culture.
The Cook family, of whom Mrs. William Fran- cis, the mother of John Francis, was a descendant, is fully treated in the history of Marcus E. Cooke, which will be found elsewhere. Col. Thaddeus Cook, father of Mrs. Francis, was born in Walling- ford, and was a son of Samuel Cook, and a grand- son of Col. Thaddeus Cook. That early pioneer of this part of the State married Lois Beach, and later Sarah Hall. His second wife became the mother of nine children. Samuel, the son of Col. Thaddeus Cook, was born in 1758, was a farmer and land owner, and died in 1824. Col. Thaddeus Cook, his son, was born on Cook Hill, followed farming all his life, and was a highly respected man, very influential in home affairs. Julia Cook, his first wife, was a daughter of Stephen Cook, of Cheshire, and they had one child, Julia, Mrs. Cook. Col. Cook married for his second wife Sylvia Hall, and they had one child, Catherine, Mrs. David M. Hall. His third marriage was to Thankful Hall, and his fourth to Martha Hall ( sister of David M.), by whom he had the following children: Caroline married Rev. Benjamin Paddock, of Detroit, Mich .; Sarah married Judge O. Ives Martin, of Walling- ford; Emma married Edwin F. Cook; and Fran- celia, born Oct. 12, 1825, died Feb. 25, '1836.

mack Co., N. H., where he followed the trade of cooper, and where he married and reared a family. About 1822 he removed to Maine, and continued to work at his trade several years, but spent his closing days at Loudon, where he was buried.
Joseph Clark Bachelder, son of Thomas, was born in Loudon, in 1794. He grew up there and acquired the cooper's trade under his father's in- structions, and removed with the latter to Maine. He settled on a farm in the town of Windsor, and tilled the land in season, putting in the time in win- ter at work at his trade. Here he spent the balance of his days, and died in 1873, having reached the age of seventy-nine years ; his remains were buried in Windsor Cemetery. He was a member of the M. E. Church. In politics he was first an old line Whig, and in his latter years, a Republican. He was married in Loudon, N. H., to Mary Clark, a native of Salem, Mass. She died in Windsor, Me., in 1861, and was buried there. She was a faithful member of the M. E. Church, a loving wife and kind mother. Two sons and two daughters comprised their family: Isaac Chandler, born in Loudon, N. H., was a millwright, and died in Windsor, Me .; Hannah and Abra reside in Winsted, Conn., the former being the widow of G. R. L. Penney, and the latter the wife of John H. Dearborn; and Joseph H. C. is our subject.
Joseph H. C. Bachelder, youngest son of Joseph C. and Mary Bachelder, was reared on a farm in Windsor, Me., attending the district school of his neighborhood. At the age of eighteen years he started out to fight life's battles for himself. For a period of four years he worked as a mill hand in the lumber country of Quebec, Canada. In 1859 he became a resident of Connecticut, locating at : Winsted, and spent eighteen months in the factory of Cook Axle Co. He then entered the employ of the Winsted Manufacturing Co., where he was when the Civil war began.
On Sept. 15, 1862, he enlisted for nine months' service, in Co. F, 28th Conn. V. I., under Col. Samuel P. Ferris and Capt. Lewis B. Wheelock. With this command, Mr. Bachelder served in the Nineteenth Army Corps, Department of the Gulf, taking part in the siege of Port Hudson, and he was discharged at New Haven, Aug. 28, 1863. Re- turning to Winsted, he resumed his employment with the Winsted Manufacturing Co., where he continued until 1868. The next nine years passed in the service of the Beardsley Scythe Co., of the same place, where he was foreman of the machine department after the first year. Removing to Mil- ford, he was employed to operate a steam engine in the fertilizer factory of George W. Miles & Co. In 1882 he came to Meriden and accepted the posi- tion of engineer with the Bradley & Hubbard Manufacturing Co., the duties of which position he has fulfilled for the past twenty years This long period of continuous service is sufficient testimony to his ability and integrity. Mr. Bachelder is not
only a practical engineer, but something of an in- ventor as well. In 1868 he perfected and patented a rolling mill for rolling scythes, and in 1869, at Winsted, he designed and patented a horse hay fork. Another useful invention of Mr. Bachelder is a steam engine indicator, which he perfected in 1887, at Meriden. All these practical inventions proved highly useful and are now widely used by manu- facturers and farmers throughout the country.
Mr. Bachelder is a member of the National As- sociation of Stationary Engineers, of which he was president two years, and has served as secretary. He is identified with St. Andrew's Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Winsted, and Merriam Post, No. 8, G. A. R., of Meriden. Entertaining broad views on religious and political matters, he is not a member | of any church organization, but endeavors to shape his lite by the highest Christian standards, and sus- tains with voice and vote the principles of the Republican party.
In 1861, at Ansonia, Conn., Mr. Bachelder was married to Margaret Baker, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and who died in Meriden in Jan- uary, 1889; her remains were interred in Walnut Grove Cemetery. She was a member of the Con- gregational Church. In December, 1890, he married ( second ) Mary Pamelia Duquette, who was born in Chateauguay, Quebec, daughter of Francis and Sophia ( Nonaville) Duquette, of French extrac- tion, the former of whom died in Canada, and the latter in Worcester, Mass., at the advanced age of eighty-six years. Mrs. Bachelder's first husband was Moses Boulanger, who was killed by the bursting of a grindstone in a scythe factory at Winsted. Neither Mr. Bachelder nor his wife have had chil- dren, but both have reared adopted children. Mrs. Bachelder is a woman of the most kind and gen- erous disposition, and is much devoted to her home and husband. She is a member of the Woman's Relief Corps, and of the French Catholic Church (St. Laurent's).
PATRICK DOYLE (deceased). Ireland has contributed some of our most public-spirited citi- zens, and the subject of this sketch was, in his lifetime, a no unimportant factor in public affairs in New Haven. He was born in County Galway, Ire- land, Feb. 17, 1844, and in 1800 came to the United States, locating in New Haven. Here he entered the employ of Mr. Dibble, learning the brick laying trade, and at the end of five years began business for himself in partnership with William M. Townsend, under the firm name of Doyle & Townsend. In 1878, this firm was dissolved, and Mr. Doyle re- ceived the appointment of Superintendent of Streets, an office to which he was most justly appointed by the board of Public Works. He was a member of the board of Public Works, himself, in 1875 and 1876, having been appointed thereto by Mayor Lewis.
On Jan. 16, 1877, Mr. Doyle married Mary

E. Connor, daugliter of Richard Connor, and by this union became the father of five children : Ellen Connor, who married George A. Hubbard, of New Haven, and has one son, George; Richard L., book- keeper for the National Casket Company; Walter S .; Francis E. and Alfred, in school. By a former marriage Mr. Doyle had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married John J. Sullivan, a postal clerk in New Haven. Mr. Doyle was a Democrat in his political belief, and always took an active interest in the party. In his religious faith he was a communicant of the Roman Catholic Church, and was prominent- ly identified with several Catholic societies, being president of the Knights of St. Patrick. He also belonged to the Loyal Council, Knights of Colum- bus, and to Roger Sherman Lodge, Knights of Honor. His death on March 18, 1895, robbed the community of a faithful public servant, and his fam- ily of a devoted husband and father.
Richard Connor, father of Mrs. Doyle, was born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, and came early to America, locating first in Massachusetts, and in 1851 coming to New Haven. He engaged in the quarry business in East Haven, Conn., and so continued until his death on Sept. 20, 1888. In 1846, in Springfield, Mass., he married Ellen Maloney, a native of County Tipperary, Ireland, who now re- sides in New Haven, at the advanced age of four score years. The children born of this union were as follows: Patrick, who resides in St. Joseph, Mo .; one that died unnamed; Mary, who died in infancy ; Mary E .; Margaret, who died in Hartford, in April, 1877; John H., who died in 1875; Ellen, who died in September, 1876, at the age of sixteen ; and Walter J.
Walter J. Connor, brother of Mrs. Doyle, and the efficient inspector of the water sheds of the New Haven Water Company, was born in Hamden, Conn., Feb. 23. 1863, and was graduated from Yale in 1890. In his Junior year he was elected coun- cilman, and served two years, and later served four years as alderman, being president of both branches. He was also a member of the board of Education, serving two terms, and has been prominently iden- tified with the city government for fourteen years. While chairman of the committee on Buildings, of the board of Education, some of the finest school buildings in the city were built. During his college course he was President of the First Catholic Club ever formed at Yale College.
RICHARD BENJAMIN WOOD, engineer at The Parker Bros. Gun Works. and one of Meriden's representative English-American citizens, was born in the parish of Throughley, County of Kent, Eng- land, Feb. 5. 1842.
to them were born six children, namely: John, who came to America and died in Bloomfield, Hartford Co., Conn .; George, the father of Mr. Wood of Meriden; Catherine and Mary, both of whom died in England; Richard, who died in Somers, Conn .; and James, who is a prosperous tobacco farmer of West Suffield, Connecticut.
George Wood, son of Richard, was born in County of Kent, England, and, as his parents were in limited circumstances, he early was taught the labor on the farm. He married in his native home, Sarah Ann Moore, who was a native of East Kent, and a daughter of Thomas and Sarah ( Foster) Moore. To this union were born these children : Richard B .; Mary Ann, who married Roderick King, of West Suffield: George, who is a resi- dent of Ashley Falls, Mass .; and Nellie A., who married Stephen Nash and lives in Southwick, Mass. The father of these children regarded their future with concern, and seeing little prospect for their advancement in their native land, in 1851 he brought them to America. Landing at New York City, he went at once to Suffield, Conn., where he located on a farm, and engaged in agricultural pur- suits for several years. Later he removed to South- wick, Mass., where he spent his declining years, residing at this place for a period of twenty years, his death occurring in December. 1896; his remains repose in the Southwick cemetery. In his early citizenship he became identified with the Democratic party, but later embraced Republican principles, al- though he never sought or accepted office of a po- litical nature. His early rearing was in the Church of England, but during his residence in Suffield and Southwick, he attended the Baptist Church. His wife also died in Southwick, where she was in- terred.
Richard B. Wood was but nine years old when he left his native home with his parents and came to America. His education was obtained in the schools in Suffield, and he grew up on a farm. After com- pleting the common school course of study, Mr. Wood engaged in school teaching, continuing through three winters, the summers being occupied with agricultural duties. At the age of twenty years he took up carpenter and joiner work, with George Crane, and continued to work at that trade in Suffield and Southwick, until 1867, at which time he came to Meriden. Four years later he went to New Haven, where he remained four years. In 1878 he entered the Parker gun shop as a carpenter. This continued until 1884, when he was appointed engineer, a position which he has held with great efficiency for the past eighteen years.
On Feb. 8, 1869, Mr. Wood was married in Meriden, to Frances Jane Miller, who was born in Tolland, Dec. 3, 1843, daughter of Joseph Coe Miller, and widow of Lewis Osborn, to whom she was married Jan. 2, 1865 (he was born July 12. 1842, and died Feb. 12, 1868; he was a soldier in

Of these,
:
Jennie Dearborn Wood was educated in Meriden, where she graduated from the high school, in 1888, from the State Normal School, in 1889, and for the past thirteen years has been one of the most highly valued and deeply appreciated teachers in Meriden. For the past eleven years she has been connected as an educator with the West Main Street school, in Meriden, and is a lady with attainments which befit her for the responsible position which she has so long held, with dignity and efficiency. She is a member of Susan Carrington Clarke Chapter, D. A. R., and is recording secretary of the Meriden Scientific Association. Miss Wood is a consistent member of the Baptist Church, and has taught in its Sunday-school.
Charles S. Wood is a young man of excellent character, who graduated from the Meriden high school in 1888, and later became a machinist. He is a prominent member of the O. U. A. M. and I. O. R. M., and has held positions of trust in the Baptist Church, having for years been pianist in the Sunday-school and held different offices in the Christian Endeavor Society. He is identified with the Y. M. C. A., and fills the position of secretary in that notable organization.
Burton S. Wood graduated from the Meriden high school in 1895, and occupies a position with the Charles Parker Co., as clerk and timekeeper. He belongs to the O. U. A. M., also is a member of the Y. M. C. A. and Christian Endeavor, holding office in all three. He is a young man of exemplary character.
Frances Louisa Wood attended the Meriden high school and graduated from the New Britain Normal school in 1898. She taught school in the family country home, at Warehouse Point, and also at Boonton, N. J., and is now one of the capable and popular teachers of Meriden. She was registrar of the children's branch of the D. A. R., and now belongs to Suson Carrington Clarke Chapter, D. A. R.
Lewis Edward Wood, the youngest, is a tool- maker. He is an enthusiastic member of the I. O. O. F.
It will be seen that Mr. Wood has been par- ticularly happy in his family, all of his children displaying unusual talents and being welcome addi- tions to Meriden's highest social circles. Mr. Wood is a whole-souled man, one on whom his friends and fellow-citizens can always rely, and as such he holds their highest esteem. In politics he is a Republican, and religiously is a leading member of the Baptist Church.
descendant, was one of those which early settled in Connecticut. An extended history of his honored family will be found in another portion of this vol- ume. Joseph Coe Miller, son of Samuel and Mary ( Gilbert ) Miller, was born July 26, 1822, and in 1841 married Mary Dousick, who was born June 17, 1820, and died Oct. 23, 1898, in New Haven, a daughter of Gasper and Lucy (Judd) Dousick. Mr. Miller died Dec. 10, 1893, also in New Haven. Their children were: Helena A., born June 18, 1842, married Seymour S. Thompson; Frances Jane, born Dec. 3, 1843, married Richard B. Wood; Richard H., born Jan. 4, 1847, died Feb. 2, 1848; Charles H., born Feb. 9, 1850; Josephine A., born Feb. 7, 1853; Lizzie Maria, born March 13, 1862; and Mary Louise, born Dec. 5, 1864.
NORTON ROYCE HOTCHKISS, M. D., who has been engaged in the practice of his profession for the past ten years in New Haven, is descended from several of the oldest families of this section of New England, and, both by reason of his hon- orable ancestry and a career which has proved hini a worthy sire of such sturdy stock, is entitled to a position among the best residents of that city.
(I) Samuel Hotchkiss, the first of the line in America, is supposed to have come from Essex, England, and was in New Haven in 1641. In 1642 he married Elizabeth Cloverly, who died in 1681. He died Dec. 28, 1653.
(II) Capt. John Hotchkiss, son of Samuel, born in 1643, married Dec. 4, 1672. Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Peck. He remained in New Haven, and died in 1689.
(III) Josialı Hotchkiss, son of Capt. John, was born July 24, 1680. He settled in Cheshire, and was the Josiah Hotchkiss mentioned in the old Wallingford records, who, with his wife, Abigail Parker, died in Cheshire, in 1732, of smallpox. In the "History of Cheshire" we find the following : "Near the residence of Mrs. A. M. Beecher a tavern was kept in 1732 by Josiah Hotchkiss. It was evi- dently at this place that the smallpox broke out in the spring of the year, at which time Mr. Hotchkiss and his wife died of that dread disease. At this place much public business was done in the interests of the new settlement." It is certain that he was the ancestor of Dr. Norton Royce Hotchkiss.
