At the age of seven- teen years he became an apprentice with the Ideal Machine Company of Hartford, following his natural bent for mechani- cal work and study. For two years he pursued a course in mechanical engineer- ing under the instruction of C. N. Walsh. When the Ideal plant was purchased and moved to Portland by his father, he con- tinued as an employe, and rapidly per- fected himself in mechanics. In 1908 he became a foreman, later superintendent and, in 1915, vice-president and assistant treasurer. In August, 1917, he received a commission as second lieutenant in the Ordnance Department of the United States army, was assigned to the Equip- ment Division, and the next year was promoted first lieutenant, in charge of hardware equipment in Western Massa- chusetts and Connecticut. He was dis- charged February 15, 1919, and at once assumed charge of the Charles L. Jarvis Company of Portland, as president and treasurer. This advancement had been earned by his achievements in the inter- est of the concern. In 1913 he perfected a tapping device in the manufacture of tools, and now holds six patents, covering improvements and auxiliary tools in its
manufacture. Mr. Jarvis is a member of Trinity Church, Warren Masonic Lodge, of Portland; Washington Chapter, No. 6, Royal Arch Masons, of Middletown; and is a charter member of Ormont Post, American Legion of Portland, of which he was the first adjutant.

MCCARTHY, Daniel Joseph, Public Official.
A descendant of vigorous Irish stock, possessed of the large-heartedness, dash and magnetism which mark the success- ful sons of that race, Daniel J. McCarthy was born December 15, 1874, in Yardley, Pennsylvania, son of Daniel J. and Han- nah (Halloran) McCarthy.
Daniel J. McCarthy, Sr., father of Dan- iel J. McCarthy, was born about 1829, in County Cork, city of Cork, Ireland, and died at the age of seventy-nine years, in Middletown, Connecticut. He married Hannah Halloran, born about 1840, in County Waterford, Ireland, died in 1916, in Middletown, at the age of seventy-six years.
The early education of Mr. McCarthy was received in the public schools of Yardley, and he prepared for entrance to Yale College in the Yardley High School.
He graduated from the former institution in the class of 1888, and this was followed by a three years' business course at the Stewart Business College, of Trenton, New Jersey. Subsequently Mr. McCar- thy was employed in the office of the Phil- adelphia & Reading Railroad Company, at Yardley. From the very outset of his business career it has been marked with success. Mr. McCarthy owes his rise from the position of clerk through the various grades to his present position of station agent and telegraph operator, at Middletown, Connecticut, to his own energy and indomitable will, and not to any fortuitous circumstances or favors of fortune. For seven years Mr. McCarthy was in the employ of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company in the posi- tion of telegraph operator and ticket clerk. In the winter of 1898 he came to Middle- town as telegraph operator in the freight department of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company. Applying himself to the mastering of the details of this work with the same diligence and thoroughness that has been characteristic of the man throughout his career, he rap- idly advanced through the different offices of the freight department, and became in due course, auditor, chief billing clerk, and cashier, until September 7, 1907, on which date Mr. McCarthy was made tele- graph operator and station agent, a suf- ficient warrant of his ability and the high regard in which he is held by the railroad officials. He has held this position to the present time, performing the duties in- cumbent upon it in a manner that is highly satisfactory.
In political principle, Mr. McCarthy is a Democrat, and has been several times honored with positions of trust and re- sponsibility. He is senior alderman of Middletown, having been elected to that office in 1916 for a term of three years.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
On August 29, 1918, Mr. McCarthy was appointed postmaster at Middletown, by President Woodrow Wilson, having suc- cessfully passed a civil service examina- tion with a rating of one hundred per cent., a truly remarkable and justly proud record. His career proves the fact that concentration of purpose, backed by force of character, accomplishes more in this world and forms a more certain path to success and honor than any other com- bination of aims and characteristics. Thus it is that Mr. McCarthy has become a man of distinction, has proved himself a man whom his townspeople delight in honoring. His career has been one to cause him satisfaction in the retrospect and to waken pride in the hearts of his descendants.
Mr. McCarthy married, September 5, 1898, at Yardley, Pennsylvania, Norah Cecelia Bourne, born August 20, 1876, in Woodbourne, Pennsylvania, and they are the parents of the following children: I Daniel J. (3), born July 5, 1899. 2. Cath- erine Alice, born August 15, 1901. 3. Charles Dudley, born July 25, 1906. 4. Robert Emmett, born December 22, 1908. 5. John Kenneth, born April 8, 1912. 6. John Gerald, born July 10, 1914. 7. Mir- iam Cecelia, born April 12, 1916.
HOOPS, Thomas, General Manager.
For twenty years actively identified with the manufacturing interests of Mid- dletown, Mr. Hoops has attained stand- ing as a public-spirited, energetic and useful citizen. His grandfather, Joseph Hoops, resided near the city of Dublin, Ireland, and was engaged in business as a tobacconist in that city. His wife, Lady Mary Ann Kelly, was disowned by her family because she married a Protestant, and he was largely ostracized by his
friends because he married a Catholic. About 1837 they came to the United States and Mr. Hoops was employed for some time as a teacher in New York State and later at Jackson, Michigan, where both he and his wife died. Their son, Thomas Hoops, Sr., was born January 10, 1837, in Waterford, Ireland, and was brought to this country while an infant by his parents. He received his educa- tion in Jackson, Michigan, partly in schools conducted by his father, and served twenty-five years as general freight agent of the Michigan Central railroad. He began his railroad career in a subor- dinate capacity, and during the Civil War was station agent at Ypsilanti, Michigan. After resigning from the railroad ser- vice he became traffic manager for Nelson Morris, the great meat packer of Chicago, and is now living retired on a pension in that city. He married, May 24, 1857, in Jackson, Hannah Androus, born in May, 1839, in Lyons, New York, daughter of Warren B. and Lorinda Lois (Barnes) Androus, both of Lyons. Warren B. Androus was born December 6, 1795, in Augusta, Maine, son of George and Elizabeth (Brackett) Androus, the latter a daughter of Abraham and Abigail (Springer) Brackett, and descended through the Springer family from various crowned heads of Europe in the middle centuries. The parents of George Androus came from Wales and England. The Androus family was related to Neal Dow and Thomas Brackett Reed, highly distin- guished citizens of Maine. Carl Springer, father of Abigail, was a son of Carl Springer, ambassador from Sweden to the Court of St. James. One branch of the Androus family spells the name "An- drews," and is thus sometimes confused with the ancient Andrews family of America. Lorinda L. Barnes, was born February 21, 1805, in Camden, Oswego

county, New York. She was married to Warren B. Androus, August 22, 1822, and in 1853 they removed to Michigan. Shel- don Sherman Barnes, father of Lorinda L., was born March 22, 1777, in Connec- ticut, and died August 27, 1843. He mar- ried, February 28, 1799, Roxanna Win- chell, born March 10, 1781, in Goshen, Connecticut, youngest child of Munson Winchell, of Great Barrington, Massachu- setts, and Goshen. The wife of the latter was Sarah Beach, whom he married in Great Barrington. His ancestry has not been discovered. Both were probably descended from early Southern Connecti- cut families. Thomas and Hannah (Androus) Hoops were the parents of four sons, only two of whom are now living: Thomas, of whom further; and David, who is now general freight agent of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, with headquarters in Chicago.
Thomas Hoops was born December 6, 1863, in Ypsilanti, and was reared in Chi- cago, where as a boy he attended the Havens Grammar School. While prepar- ing for a course at Heidelberg University in Germany, he was forced to abandon his studies by family reverses, and at the age of fourteen years took a position as office and errand boy in the settling room of the Chicago Board of Trade. Later he became an operator on the board, and for five or six years was general manager of the Coal Handling Machinery Company of Chicago, with works on West Superior street, in that city. Here he gained a valuable experience in mechanical work, and on July 3, 1899, he came to Middle- town, Connecticut, to become assistant superintendent of Wilcox, Crittenden & Company, one of the large manufacturing concerns of the city, later became superin- tendent. For several years he was vice- president and general manager of the company and resigned in December, 1921.
He is a member, director and second vice- president of the Middletown Chamber of Commerce ; corporate member of the Mid- dletown Homes, Inc., an organization to aid people of small means in securing homes ; and is president of the City Water Board. He is a vestryman of Holy Trin- ity Church and president of the Men's Club of that body. He is a member of the City Club, and vice-president of the Young Men's Christian Association. Dur- the World War, he served as captain of the Transport Company, Connecticut State Guards; is vice-president of the Scientific Association of Middletown; was chairman of the Transportation War Bureau ; and is chairman of the Manufac- turers' Club of Middletown. He is a mem- ber of the Highland, City and Middle- town Yacht clubs, and the University club. Mr. Hoops has long been accus- tomed to work with his hands and his head, and is recognized as one of the pro- gressive and practical citizens of Middle- town. Politically, a Republican, he has never engaged actively in political work.
He married, September 17, 1891, Martha Sherman French, born in Toledo, Ohio, daughter of William and Mary (Wells) French. Their first son, Lyman Blair Hoops, born July 18, 1892, graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1915, and after serving as lieutenant on a United States destroyer, died at Gibralta, June 7, 1918. He was buried in Indian Hill Cemetery, at Mid- dletown, July 1, 1919. Their second son, Lloyd French Hoops, born May 17, 1897, in Chicago, was educated in Middletown, at St. John's School, Manlius, New York, and the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. He enlisted, January 18, 1918, in the aviation service of the United States army at Cambridge, Massachusetts, was stationed at Camp Dix, Fort Sill in the School of Aerial Observation, and at Carl-

strom Field, Arcadia, Florida. He gradu- ated from the aviation school, May 8, 1919, and is now in the reserve force awaiting orders at Middletown.
The Barnes family, from which Mr. Hoops is descended, traces to Edward Barnes, who lived at Eastwick, Lyme, Regis, in Dorcetshire, England. His son William, born in 1580, died 1657, was the father of William Barnes, a pioneer settler of Long Island. He was a planter at Southampton in 1644, and sold his home- stead at the north end of that town in 1652. He married Thomasine, daughter of Owen Shepard, and they were the par- ents of five sons and three daughters. The eldest son, William Barnes, born at East- hampton, Long Island, about 1644, died December 1, 1698. His second son, Dea- con Benjamin Barnes, born in 1671, was an early settler at Branford, Connecticut, where he died July 23, 1740. His wife's baptismal name was Abigail, and she was deceased in 1732, when he deeded land formerly belonging to him to his children. Their fourth son, Ebenezer Barnes, bap- tized in February, 1714, at Branford, made his home there until 1747, when he removed to Middletown, Connecticut. His eldest child, Ebenezer Barnes, born September 30, 1743, in Branford, lived in North Haven and East Haven until 1790, when he removed to Oswego county, New York, and died January 4, 1820. He mar- ried, September 19, 1768, Luranda Shat- tuck, born February 3, 1752, died April 10, 1777, daughter of Timothy and Desire (Hall) Shattuck.

Barnes, wife of Warren Barnes Androus. was born in 1805. She became the mother of Hannah Androus, who married Thomas Hoops, Sr.
SEIBERT, John E.,
Dairyman.
The founder of the Seibert family in America was Philip Seibert, a native of Germany. The Seibert family is an old one in that country and the surname is derived from the two German words, Sige, meaning victory, and berht, mean- ing bright or glorious. Philip Seibert was a son of Christian Seibert. For thirty years the latter was a game warden in Germany, and his last years were spent at the home of his son in Berlin, Connec- ticut. The son learned the trade of mill- wright in the old country and was a young man when he came to New York City, where he remained a year or so. Thence, in 1852, he removed to New Britain, where he worked in various fac- tories along mechanical lines. Finally he embarked in the furniture business on his own account, but was obliged to dis- continue his work owing to ill health.
In 1872 Mr. Seibert bought a farm at Berlin, Connecticut, and there he followed farming until his death, which occurred in 1916, at the age of eighty-six years and five months. Mr. Seibert married Mar- garet Heidenreich, daughter of Frank Heidenreich, a native of Germany. Of their ten children, eight grew up. They were: Margaret, who died unmarried ; John E., of further mention; Christina, married Frederick D. Scofield, of New Britain ; Philip A., married Ida Rich of Rockyhill, Connecticut, and has a daugh- ter, Beatrice May; Barbara, married Henry Leppert, of New Britain ; William, of Simsbury, Connecticut; Catherine, widow of Lewin Hills, of Branford, Con- necticut ; and Frank, of New Britain, who has a son, Alfred. The Seibert family attended the Congregational church of New Britain.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
garet (Heidenreich) Seibert, was born in New Britain, Connecticut, January 21, 1856, and attended the public schools. As a boy he worked at different employ- ments, among them being at the New Britain Bank, the lock shop, and the Rus- sell & Irwin Company. When his father purchased his farm he went with him and worked with him, succeeding to the own- ership upon the latter's death. He made a speciality of dairying, in which ven- ture he has been very successful. The farm comprises about three hundred acres, and fifty head of cattle are kept. Several men are employed all the time, the number varying with the seasons Mr. Seibert started his first milk route in 1902 and now has eight routes, all in New Britain. These routes are covered with six wagons and two automobile trucks. Since 1906 Mr. Seibert has made his home in New Britain.
Mr. Seibert married Emma North, daughter of Israel B. North, of Berlin, and they were the parents of a son Arthur, who has always been associated with his father in the dairy business. The son married Edith Geer, of New Britain, and has a daughter, Evelyn Seibert.
DANIELS, James Elmer, Farmer.
Among the substantial agriculturists of West Long Hill, Middletown, is James E. Daniels, who is a native of the town, and whose ancestry is traced back several generations there. The first known of his ancestors was John Daniels, who was at New London as early as 1663, and died there in 1709-10. He married, January 19, 1664, in New London, Mary Chappell, born about 1646-48, baptized June 18, 1671, daughter of George Chappell, for- merly of Westbrook, later of New Lon- don, and his wife, Marjorie Chappell.
They were the parents of John Daniels, born January 19, 1666, in New London, baptized June 18, 1671, died January 14, 1756. He married, December 3, 1685, Agnes Beebe, daughter of Samuel and Agnes (Keeney) Beebe, of New London. Jonathan Daniels, son of John and Agnes Daniels, born March 22, 1693, in New London, married, January 1, 1718, Mary Potts. They were the parents of William Daniels, born February 19, 1719, in New London, lived for some time in Lyme, Connecticut, whence he removed to Mid- dletown. He is first of record in the last named town, November 28, 1765, when he was married to Ruth Miller, born Au- gust 23, 1736, in Middletown, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah (Robinson) Mil- ler. The records show that he purchased numerous parcels of land in Middletown, the first deed dated September 23, 1767, conveying ten acres on Bear Hill, for which he paid twenty pounds. The grantor was William Preston, of Farm- ington, later a resident of Middletown. April 13, 1768, he received a deed of one acre and nineteen rods south of the city of Middletown, a part of the Mix farm, for which he paid seven pounds, the grantor being Jared Miller. On June 20, 1783, he received from Daniel Whitmore a deed of two acres at Maromas, for which he paid fourteen pounds. July 10, 1788, he purchased of the estate of Joseph John- son a parcel of land for twelve pounds, and on the 12th of the following month, from Edward Miller, one-half acre on Prospect Hill in South Farms, in exchange for other property. On April 13, 1768, he sold a parcel of land for twenty pounds. At a lecture at the house of Elijah John- son, Jr., William and Ruth Daniels owned the covenant, and had four adult children who owned the covenant at the same time, the children, William, John, Enoch, Hulda, Ruth and Catherine, all of adult

He married (first), August 16, 1787, Prudence Prior, and (second) Mary Roberts, daughter of Samuel S. Roberts, who was born Sep- tember 27, 1767, son of Noah and Eliza- beth (Parsons) Roberts. On April 16, 1823, Samuel S. Roberts conveyed to Wil- liam Daniels and wife, in consideration of seventy dollars, one acre of land. called the Dudley Lot, and another parcel of eleven acres, called the Assop (Alsop) Lot, also a one-third share in the house and barn, which all then occupied to- gether. December 15, 1821, he deeded to Polly Daniels seven acres of land at West- field, the consideration being ten dollars. Jointly with her father she received a deed of lands in Westfield, May II, 1725, the consideration being sixty dollars, and on the same date her father deeded to her other lands. Some time subsequent to this, following the death of his wife Polly, William Daniels moved into what was known as the Black River region of New York and all trace of him was lost. He was a carpenter and joiner. By his mar- riage to Mary Roberts he had two chil- dren, William and Samuel B. William located in Kensington, Connecticut, where he died. He was also a builder, and con- structed many of the public structures of his time. Samuel B. Daniels was born July 27, 1826, in Westfield, and was a small child when his mother died. His early life was passed with a relative, Rue- ben Tryon, in the Bow Lane district, where he attended the district school, and early in life began to earn money by working for farmers. During the Civil War, he purchased a farm in Rocky Hill, on which he continued two years and then returned to Middletown, where he pur-
chased from Wellington Johnson what was known as the Markham Farm. This consisted of about eighty acres, and lay at the extreme southern end of Johnson Lane, in what was known as the Foothills. There he spent the remainder of his life, died March 28, 1889, and was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery. From the organ- ization of the party, he was a supporter of Republican principles, and was some- what active in local politics. In religion he was a Methodist. He married, April 6, 1862, Lucy U. Bailey, who was born June 30, 1836, daughter of Daniel and Nancy (Paddock) Bailey. She now re- sides with her elder son, James E., of further mention below. She is descended from one of the earliest Haddam families, established by John Bailey, who was probably of English birth, and was in Hartford as early as 1648, when he was viewer of chimneys and ladders. In 1657 he appears in the list of freemen, and in that year was constable in Hartford. In 1662 he removed to Haddam, Connecti- cut, being one of the original proprietors of that town, and lived in the section now known as Higganum. His estate at death was valued at £186 Ios. 6d. His wife, Lydia, was probably a daughter of Thomas Smith, of Haddam. Their eld- est child, John Bailey, born about 1660, in Haddam, lived in that town, where he died January 15, 1719. He married Eliza- beth, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Beckwith) Bate, who survived him. John Bailey, their eldest child, born in October 1688, lived in Haddam, and mar- ried, January 14, 1711, Esther, whose family name is not preserved in the records.
