capacity until 1911, when he was ad- vanced to the post of prosecuting attor- ney and holds that office to-day. The service he is rendering to the community in this capacity is a notable one and has won for him a well deserved popularity and trust. In the year 1913 he was elected on the Republican ticket to the Connecticut State Senate to represent the Fifteenth Senatorial District, and in his career as a member of this body in- creased the indebtedness of the com- munity to him. His whole public serv- ice has shown a disinterestedness and probity most rare and commendable and one that his fellow citizens appreciate. There are very few aspects of the com- munity's life in which Mr. McGrath does not take a prominent part, none in which he is not interested. He is a well-known figure in social circles and a prominent member of the Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Elks. In his religious faith he is a Roman Catholic.
Mr. McGrath married (first) October I, 1902, Annie L. Merritt, of Jackson, Tennessee, who died in 1908. Mr. Mc- Grath married (second) June 30, 1910, Frances A. Fallon, a native of Lee, Mas- sachusetts, born in October, 1878, a daughter of Timothy and Mary (Murray) Fallon, of that place. Mr. Fallon died in 1913 and Mrs. Fallon now resides with Mr. and Mrs. McGrath in Waterbury. To these have been born three children as follows: Mary, who died in infancy ; John F., Jr., born July 28, 1913; and Eleanor, born November 14, 1915.
BELCHER, Clarence,
Business Man.
As treasurer of W. C. Mason & Com- pany, Mr. Belcher occupies a position of trust in the corporation which he served as stenographer and secretary for many
years prior to its incorporation in 1906. His connection with the predecessors of W. C. Mason & Company began in 1893 and the intimate capacity in which he served peculiarly fitted him for the honor- able post he ably fills. Belcher is an ancient name in Tolland county, Con- necticut, and there Richmond S. Belcher was born during the first decade of the nineteenth century. He was succeeded by his son, Francis Jerome Belcher, born in Stafford, Tolland county, Connecti- cut, February 15, 1845, died in Glaston- bury, Connecticut, May 21, 1902. During the earlier years of his business life he was employed in the textile industry, but later was proprietor of a meat market in Hartford, going thence to Glastonbury where he continued in the same business until his death. During his connection with the textile industry he also resided in Willington and South Manchester for short periods. He married Josephine Maria Smith, born in Brookfield, Ver- mont, December 3, 1840, daughter of John A. and Almira (Allen) Smith, of ancient Vermont family. They were the parents of eight children, four of whom grew to adult years: Herbert, of Glas- tonbury; Clarence, of whom further ; Clinton, of South Glastonbury ; Mrs. Grace Josephine Behnke, a resident of Glastonbury.
Clarence Belcher was born in Stafford, Tolland county, Connecticut, October 26, 1872. During his boyhood he resided in Willington, South Manchester, Hart- ford, the family moving to Glastonbury in 1881. He attended the public schools of these towns, finishing his studies with a course at Hunsinger's Business Col- lege in Hartford. There he acquired facility as a stenographer and after graduation was employed in that capacity with the New York & New England Railroad Company, located in the office

of the master mechanic. Six months were passed in that office, months which added materially to his business equip- ment and gave him entrance to the busi- ness world. He was just of legal age when in 1893 he entered the employ of J. J. Poole & Company as stenographer and private secretary, that company be- ing later succeeded by W. C. Mason & Company. With the incorporation of the latter company in 1906 Mr. Belcher was elected treasurer, an office he yet most satisfactorily fills. He is also a director of the Hatch & North Coal Company and of the Hartford Wood Company.
Mr. Belcher married Maribel Agnes Yale, daughter of Charles F. Yale, of East Hartford. They are the parents of two sons : Yale Osmond and Philip Francis Belcher.
MULVILLE, James Henry, Undertaker.
That sudden snap in the thread of life which removes a man from the world at the height of a career of usefulness and promise, is one of the most inexplicable things in the whole gamut of human experience. The completion of a life which has reached the full three score and ten brings with it an inevitable com- plement of sadness, but this is alleviated by the knowledge that that life has been lived to the full. But there is something infinitely more sad in the death of a man in the prime of life, before whom stretches the long vista of years in which full usefulness is to be worked out. This was the case in the death of James Henry Mulville, on January 4, 1909, in the city of Waterbury, Connecticut, where he had been a life-long resident. Mr. Mulville was forty years of age, in the prime of life. successful in business and well known and liked in Waterbury.
James Henry Mulville was born in Waterbury, on August 25, 1869, the son of John and Bridget (Rice) Mulville, long residents of that city. His parents were natives of Ireland, but came to America early in life, settling in Water- bury, where their children were born, five of whom are now living: Mrs. Henry Newell, of Hoboken, New Jersey ; Mrs. Robert Sutton ; Nellie, unmarried ; John ; and George. Mrs. Mulville, Sr., survives her husband and makes her home on Oak street. James H. Mulville received his early education in the schools of Waterbury, and after being graduated from the elementary schools became associated with his cousin, Wil- liam E. Dillon, in the undertaking busi- ness. When he entered the business, fresh from school, he was merely a youth, and in consequence of his being unable to start out for himself at so early an age, remained with his cousin for a number of years. When he reached the age of twenty-five years, however, he achieved his ambition of starting inde- pendently in business for himself. From the time when he first engaged in the undertaking business, Mr. Mulville was uniformly successful in it. As his busi- ness grew, he was from time to time com- pelled to move to larger quarters, which were variously located in different sec- tions of the city. His first office was located in Judge Cowell's building, oppo- site Poli's Theatre. He remained here for a short time only, going next to the Troot Building. On March 20, 1895, he removed to the place where his business is still conducted by his wife, namely, the St. Patrick's Hall building, opposite the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Mr. Mulville was closely identified with almost every phase of life in Waterbury, and actively interested in all civic affairs before the community. He was espe-
IIO
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
cially well known and liked in the frater- nal organizations of the city, and in its social circles. He was prominent in the trade organizations of the undertaking business, being a director in the State branch of the Undertakers' and Funeral Directors' associations. He was a mem- ber of the following fraternal organiza- tions : Waterbury Lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the Fifth Division of the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians; the Hendricksen Council, Knights of Columbus; Court Meany, Foresters of America; Silas Bronson Conclave, Im- proved Order of Heptasophs; Court Waterbury, Ancient Order of Foresters; and the Waterbury Aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles. He also belonged to the Patrick Sarsfield Club and the Brooklyn Athletic Club.
For a few years prior to the time of his death Mr. Mulville's health was not in good condition, and in seeking to better it he travelled extensively. There is no experience so broadening to a man intel- lectually, in fact in almost every con- ceivable way, as that of coming in con- tact with the conditions of life, society and thought. throughout the world. There is nothing which makes so much for tolerance and broadmindedness of character. Mr. Mulville was a keen student of the times and a keen observer, and very receptive of the impressions of travel, which left their imprint upon him, making him a cultured man. His last two trips in the interest of his health were made to Denver, Colorado, but failed to accomplish their purpose, and to the despair of all who knew him, and who saw the promise of his career, he died. He possessed a rare genius in mak- ing and keeping friends, and was popular to a degree which was enviable. His death was in every sense of the word a loss to the community.
On October 31, 1894, Mr. Mulville mar- ried Julia C. Kenney, daughter of John and Julia (McGrath) Kenney, both natives of Ireland. Mrs. Mulville's parents came to America shortly after their marriage and settled in Walling- ford, where on July 3, 1869, she was born. They moved to Waterbury while she was still a student in school and her educa- tion was completed in the schools there. She was one of seven children, all girls, namely : Mary, Catherine, Margaret, Julia, Annie, and Nellie, all of whom are married, with the exception of Mary and Annie, and all living in Waterbury. The children of Mr. and Mrs. James Henry Mulville are: James, died at the age of three years; Irene, unmarried, aged twenty years; John, eighteen years; Jo- seph, thirteen years; Cecelia, ten years. The family are members of the Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Con- ception of Waterbury.
Upon the death of Mr. Mulville, his business was continued in his name under the management of John Joseph Mc- Avoy, a resident of the city of Water- bury from early childhood and promi- nent in that city. Mr. McAvoy is a com- municant of the Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, and is un- married. He is a member of several of the most important fraternal and social organizations of the city, among which are the following : Knights of Columbus, the Order of Eagles, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks, St. Mary's Alumni, the Brooklyn Athletic Club, and the Patrick Sarsfield Club.
CROTHERS, Thomas Davison, M. D., Specialist in Alcoholic Diseases.
Considering inebriety a disease, often one of heredity, Dr. Crothers has de-
III
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
voted the greater part of his professional life to its study, treatment and cure. His first public appearance as a specialist in alcoholic diseases was in 1875 as assist- ant physician at the New York Inebriate Asylum at Binghamton, and from that time until the present he constantly labored in that field as superintendent of public institutions, in his own private hos- pital, Walnut Lodge at Hartford, on the platform and through his able pen. He is as well known abroad as in his own country and his work, "Diseases of In- ebriety," is a standard authority. He de- scends from a line of eminent Scotch surgeons who for a century have been professors and teachers in Edinburgh University. Maternally he descends from the Holmes family of Stonington, Con- necticut, and the Smith family of West- chester, New York, both of Colonial and Revolutionary prominence.
Dr. Thomas D. Crothers was born at West CharIton, Saratoga county, New York, September 22, 1842, son of Robert and Electra (Smith) Crothers. His youth was spent on the farm and in ob- taining a preparatory education. With his own savings, earned by teaching school in New York and New Jersey, he paid his way through Fort Edward Mili- tary Institute. He spent the years 1862- 63 in the hospital of the Union army and in 1863 entered Albany Medical College whence he was graduated Doctor of Medicine in 1865, having had an unusual experience in army hospitals as well as the theoretical knowledge of a medical student. In 1865 he also pursued post- graduate courses at Long Island Hos- pital and at Bellevue Hospital Medical College. He then located at Galway, New York, there practicing his profession, 1866-70. In 1870 he located in Albany and three years later was appointed clin- ical assistant and lecturer at Albany Med-
ical College, continuing as such during the years 1872-73-74-75, holding official connection with the "Medical and Surg- ical Reporter" of Philadelphia as a mem- ber of the editorial staff. In 1875 he was appointed assistant superintendent and physician of the New York Inebriate Asylum at Binghamton, there continuing until 1878, then resigned to become super- intendent of Walnut Hill Asylum at Hartford, Connecticut. In 1880 he founded Walnut Lodge Hospital for the treatment of alcohol and opium inebriates and since that date has been president of the corporation and superintendent of the hospital.
In addition to the personal treatment and care of inebriates at the institution over which he has presided and still presides. Dr. Crothers has maintained constant rela- tion with professional journals, societies and public movements along the line in which he specializes. In 1890 he was elected secretary of the American Temperance Association and editor of the society's organ, the "Bulletin." Previous to that appointment he had in 1887 visited Eng- land as one of the American delegates to the International Congress called for the study of inebriety. The British Society honored him with a public dinner in Lon- don and on that occasion he received many evidences of appreciation from emi- nent men who were familiar with his work. In 1889 and 1890 he delivered a course of lectures on inebriety before the students of his alma mater, Albany Med- ical College, and in 1893 published his "Diseases of Inebriety" (Treat & Com- pany, New York). In November, 1900, he was elected professor of diseases of the brain and nervous system in the New York School of Clinical Medicine. Since 1876 he has been editor of the "Journal of Inebriety." a journal of national and international reputation among scientific
112
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
periodicals. In April, 1899, he was chosen vice-president of the international congress held in Paris for the prevention of alcoholic abuses, and on June 16, 1900, delivered the historical address on the medical study of the alcoholic question before the World's Temperance Congress in session at London, England. In 1901 he published "Drug Habits and Their Treatment," and in 1902 "Morphinism and Other Drug Diseases." In 1904 he published the first medical text-book on Morphomania, a second edition follow- ing, his work yet a leading authority. In 1911 he published "Clinical Study of In- ebriety." He was one of the three repre- sentatives from the United States in 1906 to the Anti-Alcoholic Congress held at Stockholm, Sweden, and is professor of nervous and mental diseases and dean of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Boston, Massachusetts. He is ex-presi- dent of the American Editors Associ- ation, the national organization of the medical editors of the United States.
In a life of such unparalleled activity, continuing for forty years as a specialist, the prolific writings of Dr. Crothers and his constant appearance on the lecture platform have given his views, theories and opinions wide publicity. He has cre- ated a deep interest in his subject and controversy has at times raged about him. But his success has proved the strength of the opinions he holds and on two continents he has achieved high reputation in this branch of medical science. He is a member of the British Medical Society, the French Society for Psychological Research, the English Psy- chical Society, the Belgian Society of Mental Science, the American Associ- ation of Mental Science, The Hartford City, County and State societies, the American Medical Association, and many other medical and scientific societies. In
1912 he was made president of the New York Medico-Legal Society and has been reëlected since to the present time. He is a member of the Congregational church, is a Republican in politics, and holds all degrees of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry up to and in- cluding the thirty-second. Dr. Crothers married, in 1872, Mrs. S. B. Risedorph, of Albany, New York.
WHITE, James Henry,
Musician, Manufacturer of Musical Instru- ments.
Through the perfection of the Angelus and the self-playing organ Mr. White and his family have achieved great distinc- tion and also commercial reward. The family is of distinguished American an- cestry, having been founded in America by Elder John Strong. The adoption of Mr. White's father by Judge James White, a prominent citizen of Marlboro, Connecticut, led to the change of the patronymic.
Elder John Strong, ancestor of all the known families of this surname in New England and virtually all in this country, was born in Taunton, England, 1605, a son of Richard Strong. The arms of the Strong family are as follows: Gules, an eagle displayed within a border engrailed. Crest : Out of a mural coronet, or, a demi eagle, wings displayed gold. The family was originally located in County Shropshire, England, but one of the fam- ily married an heiress of Griffith, County Caernarvon, Wales, and went thither to reside in 1545. Of this Welsh branch was Richard Strong, who was born in County Caernarvon in 1561, and in 1590 removed to Taunton, Somersetshire, Eng- land, where he died in 1613, leaving be- side his son John a daughter Eleanor.

mouth, and finally, having strong Puritan sympathies and convictions, he and his sister came to New England, sailing March 20, 1630, in the ship "Mary and John," landing at Nantasket (Hull), and settled in Dorchester. The sister married Walter Deane, a tanner of Taunton, Massachusetts, previously of Taunton, England. In 1635 John Strong removed to Hingham, was admitted a freeman, March 9, 1636, and removed to Taunton before December 4, 1638, when he was on the list of inhabitants and proprietors there, and remained there until 1645 or later. He was deputy from that town to the General Court in Plymouth in 1641- 43-44, and removed to Windsor, Connec- ticut, where he was appointed with four others "to superintend and bring forward the settlement of the place." He settled finally, however, in Northampton, Mas- sachusetts, with which his name has been associated since. He was one of the first and most active founders, for a full forty years a prominent and influential citizen, and prospered in his business as a tanner and husbandman. His tannery was on what is now the southwest corner of Market street, near the railroad station, and he owned some two hundred acres of land in and near Northampton. He was elected ruling elder of the church and ordained May 13, 1663. His first wife died on the passage or soon after landing in Massachusetts, and about two months later her baby died also. He married (second) in December, 1630, Abigail Ford, daughter of Thomas Ford, of Dor- chester. She died, the mother of sixteen children, July 6, 1688, aged about eighty years. He died April 14, 1699, aged ninety-four years. At the time of his death he had one hundred and sixty de- scendants, among whom were eighteen children and at least thirty-three grand- children. He made over his lands during his lifetime to his children.
John (2) Strong, son of John (1) Strong, was born 1626, in England, and died at Windsor, Connecticut, February 20, 1698. He was a tanner by trade and an important citizen of Windsor. He married (second) in 1664, Elizabeth War- riner, who died June 7, 1684.
John (3) Strong, son of John (2) Strong, was born December 25, 1665, at Windsor, and died there, May 29, 1749. He married there, November 26, 1686, Hannah Trumbull, of Suffield, Connecti- cut, daughter of Deacon John Trumbull.
Deacon David Strong, second son of John (3) Strong, was born December 15, 1704, at Windsor, and died January 25, 1801. He was a farmer at Bolton, Con- necticut, for sixty-five years was deacon of the Congregational church, and in 1730 moved from Windsor to Bolton, where he lived three miles from the center of the town on the road to Buckingham, then Eastbury. He married, May 3, 1732, Thankful, born March 5, 1709, died May 21, 1771, daughter of Moses Loomis, of Windsor, and Joanna (Gibbs) Loomis, who were married April 27, 1694. Moses Loomis, of Windsor, father of Mrs. Thankful Strong, born May 15, 1671, was son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Moore) Loomis. Joanna (Gibbs) Loomis, wife of Moses Loomis, was born March 26, 1671, daughter of Samuel and Hepzibah (Dibble) Gibbs, of Windsor.
Ebenezer Strong. youngest child of Deacon David and Thankful (Loomis) Strong. was born 1754, lived in Bolton, and died in 1824. He was a soldier in the Revolution, a private in the company of Captain Thomas Pitkin from Bolton on the Lexington alarm ; also in 1776 under Captain J. Wells. He married, August 24. 1779, Lucy (Kilbourne) Lawrence, daughter of Benjamin and Lucy (Good- rich) Kilbourne, and widow of Daniel Lawrence, who was killed in the Wyom- ing massacre. She died April 28, 1793.

Captain Ethan Eli Strong, fourth son of Ebenezer Strong, was born October 8, 1789, at Bolton, and died there Sep- tember 19, 1867. He was a farmer in his native town, and a member of the Hart- ford Phalanx. He married, December 10, 1812, Betsey Cowles, of Belchertown, born July 24, 1794, daughter of John Cowles.
John Remember Cowles Strong, son of Captain Ethan Eli and Elizabeth Betsey (Cowles) Strong, was born February 7, 1822, at Bolton, and died at Meriden, Connecticut, January 13, 1907. When an infant he was adopted by Judge James White, of Marlboro, Connecticut, and given the name of Henry Kirke White. His boyhood days were spent on the farm of his foster father, and his mental train- ing was provided by the district schools and private study. Very early in life he developed a remarkable musical talent, and before he was twenty years old was widely known as a music teacher, having charge of various singing schools and choral societies. His quick ear and fine musical instinct made him readily expert in tuning various musical instruments, so that this gift provided him for many years with a livelihood. In 1841 he visited the West, and remained four years, occupied in piano and organ tuning. In 1845 he located in Colchester, Connecticut, where he became an assistant to Denison Smith, a manufacturer of musical instru- ments. Two years later Mr. White em- barked in business for himself at New London, Connecticut, engaging in the manufacture of melodeons. Six years later the business was removed to Wash- ington, New Jersey, where it was con- ducted four years, when the financial panic of 1857 crippled its activities, and the subsequent outbreak of the Civil War made the business still more difficult. For some years Mr. White resided in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in piano tuning. At the close of the Civil War he went to Brattle- boro, Vermont, and took charge of the tuning and action department of the Es- tey Organ Works. His sons accompanied him in this removal, taking positions in the factory, where their inherited musical talent gained them rapid promotion. Dur- ing the years 1876-77, Mr. White and his sons were associated with the late Horace C. Wilcox, of Meriden, Connecticut, in organizing the Wilcox & White Organ Company, which was established at Meriden. Mr. Wilcox was a man of wealth, head of a great silver manufac- turing industry of Meriden, an able finan- cier, and the combination of his capital with the great talent of the White family, resulted in the very rapid development of this industry, which prospered from the beginning. Its product soon found a world-wide market. Mr. Wilcox did not live many years after the establishment of the Wilcox & White Organ Company, but the genius and experience of Mr. Henry K. White was able to manage the industry with success, and to his energy, industry and good judgment the contin- ued prosperity and growth of the con- cern were due. At the time of his death, in 1897, he was probably the oldest living maker of reed instruments, and he had just cause to rejoice and feel a pride in the development of the industry he founded. In 1877 the Wilcox & White Organ Company was incorporated, with an authorized capital of one hundred thousand dollars. In 1888 the Symphony or pneumatic self-playing organ was placed on the market by this company, and nine years later the first piano player, called the Angelus, the invention of Mr. White's son, Edward H. White, was brought out. The marvelous success of this instrument placed the company in the

The inven- tive genius of the Whites has made many improvements from time to time, bring- ing the Angelus and the Angelus pianos James Henry White, the eldest child of Henry Kirke White (Strong) and Lucy (Cornwell) White, was born September 26, 1847, at Westfield, Connecticut. In the public schools of Somerville, Wash- ington and Phillipsburg, New Jersey, he received a good mental training, and while the family was living in Philadel- phia, during the Civil War, he was em- ployed in the department store of John Wanamaker, where he received a thor- ough business training. With his father he removed to Brattleboro, Vermont, wa: employed in the Estey Organ factory, be- ginning in the tuning department. and rose rapidly to a responsible position in that establishment. When the Wilcox & White Organ Company was established in Meriden, James H. White was thirty years of age, and he has been identified with the progress and development of that establishment to the present time, having been, since 1890, its president and treasurer. The affairs of the company have been wisely handled, and under his management it has prospered. One of the principal products of the establish- ment is the Angelus, regarding which a well known writer in "Harper's Maga- zine" says: "Beneficent Nature has placed within the soul of every human being the love of music. In every thous- and she has picked a few for the richer dower of the ability to produce it. Among primitive people those mortals thus favored have been set apart for special honor. and even worshipped because of their god-like power of producing melody that would stir even the soul of a savage. If the power to produce music in a per- son be a great mark of genius, what may to such a state of perfection as to main- tain the lead first established by these instruments. At the time the piano player was invented the capital of the company was seventy-five thousand dol- lars. In the following year the capital was doubled, and in 1910 it was increased to four hundred and fifty thousand dol- lars. In 1897 James H. White became president, and since that time successive enlargements have doubled the capacity of the plant. At the present time some four hundred people are employed in the establishment. Henry Kirke White held various public offices of trust and honor. He was alderman from the Fifth Ward, and for a time was acting mayor of the city. For many years he was a member of the school committee, was the first chairman of his district, and always took a lively interest in public education. In politics he was a Republican, in religion a Baptist. He was a member of Colum- bia Lodge, No. 36, Free and Accepted Masons, of Brattleboro, Vermont ; Royal Arch Masons; Knights Templar. Mr. White married (first) September 2, 1846, Lucy Cornwell, of Middletown, Connec- ticut, born January 2, 1825, died Febru- ary 18. 1867, daughter of William and Julia (Roberts) Cornwell, of that town. Julia Roberts was a daughter of Asa Roberts, who was born March 1, 1777. Mr. White married (second) Mrs. Betsey Herrick, born July 12, 1840, daughter of Benjamin Stickney, of Dummerston, Ver- mont.
