secured a position with the Hartford "Courant," which he held four years. This work threw him into contact with gov .. ernment circles to a great extent, and in 1895 he was appointed city collector. He held this position for three years, until 1898, when he became city assessor.
In taking the step from business into politics, Mr. Oakey may be said to have found the proper department for his talents. Successful as he was in his former field, it was here that he really was at home. From early youth he had always had a keen interest in the conduct of public affairs, and was a staunch sup- porter of the principles and policies of the Republican party. His activity and ability soon made him a leader in the local coun- cils of his party, and in 1914 he became the candidate for Congress from the First District of Connecticut. In the campaign which followed he was a most effective exponent of the issues that his party stood for and was successfully elected. On the fourth of March he resigned from the assessorship of Hartford, an office he had held for seventeen years, to take his seat in the august body to which he had been elected. Mr. Oakey's record in Congress is a most creditable one, and he is even now performing an invaluable service to his constituency, to his party, and to the community-at-large. His first speech in the House was well received by members of his own party, who called for an x- tension of his time when the limit fixed for that occasion (four minutes) had ^x- pired. The speech was on the Shackle- ford federal highway bill. which was op- posed by Mr. Oakey on the general ground that those who have already sup- plied themselves with good roads at their own cost should not be compelled to build roads for others who have neglected, or been unable, to do the same. Perhaps he did not make sufficient distinction e-

tween neglect and inability, but he made plain the progress that had been accom- plished in his own State in road building. The following are extracts therefrom: "I am not particularly concerned that this bill is reputed to be a plank in the Balti- more platform, for that somewhat re- markable document has already been rele- gated to the realm of political action by executive order." He declared himself little interested in the constitutionality of the proposition, because, in his own words: "In the first place I do not know whether it is constitutional or not, and in the second place, that ancient document has become irrelevant among friends." "I do not believe that her (Connecticut's) taxpayers who now feel in some sense the burden of home, State or local road im- provements will feel kindly in being taxed for the rural highways of those which have not taken, or do not seem inclined to take, the initiative in this great improvement."
Besides his more special activities Mr. Oakey has been a conspicuous participant in the general life of the community, espe- cially in social and club circles. He is a member of Lafayette Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Norwich, Con- necticut ; Consistory, Knights Templar; and the Sphinx Temple, An- cient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is also a member of the Be- nevolent and Protective Order of Elks and an ex-ruler of Hartford Lodge there- of, also a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Ancient Order of For- esters. Besides these orders, Mr. Oakey is a member of many prominent clubs, among which should be mentioned the Hartford Club, the Republican Club of Hartford, the Thames Club and the Union League Club of New Haven, and the Na- tional Press Club of Washington, D. C. He is a Presbyterian in religion, and a prominent member of the First Presby- terian Church of Hartford.
Mr. Oakey married Mrs. Ada H. Garde, the widow of William H. Garde.
A career as brilliant as that of Mr. Oakey, which has resulted in his reach- ing a place so high in the trust of the people at an age when his powers are at their zenith, certainly holds forth a most tempting prospect to him for the future, and to the community the promise of faithful and effective service in ever higher and more responsible capacities.
BILL, William Coe,
Manufacturer and Importer.
The Bill family of England has an an- cient and honorable record, extending back almost to the beginning of the use of surnames in that country. The name means a kind of weapon, and the progeni- tor doubtless took his surname from his occupation in war, a bill-man. A bill was a kind of battle-ax. The family came originally from Denmark, according to the best authority and located in Shrop- shire, England, where for some five cen- turies it has been numerous and promi- nent, and also in Wiltshire and Stafford- shire. Dr. Thomas Bill, born 1490, a prominent physician, was an attendant of Princess Elizabeth. John Bill, born 1576, was a well-known publisher of London, "publisher to King James I., Most Ex- cellent Majestie" in 1613. and one of the first books that he published was written by the king. After he received his royal license his place of business became known as Printing House Square, by which it is still known. John Bill mar- ried Anne Mountford, authoress of a book entitled "Mirror of Modestie," published in 1621. She died May 3, 1621, aged thir- ty-three years. He married (second) Joan Franklin, of Throwley. County Kent. He made his will in 1630: was buried at St. Anne's, Blackfriars, London. He left a legacy to the parish of Much Wenlock,
