"In August, 1777, after the evacuation of Ticon- deroga, Mr. Otis was among the many who flocked to the standard of the newly appointed commander of the Northern Armies, Gen. Gates. Under Capt. Amos Jones the company to which he belonged marched to the patriot army at Saratoga.

"It is but two months since I conversed with the 'old man eloquent.' His head was silvered o'er with venerable locks, and when describing those scenes his memory was very vivid, and he seemed to be doing battle again. In his peculiarly nervous, energetic and forcible manner, he related the sub- stance of what follows.

" 'The Americans thought no more of Iseat- ing, but became animated and came ou Land engaged the British with firmness and rescion. Gen. Gates never knew the extent of his f e- constantly coming and going, and volunteer re- turning home when the provisions were exh ited. "'We were preparing to surround Burgane's army, but hadn't enough men on the wes ide. The company to which I belonged were cfred to proceed there. The two armies were on e ited ground, with a hollow between. Through to we passed, the balls continually whistling ov four heads, and some went through our hats. 2 stant blaze of fire was kept up, and both mies alternately drove and were driven by each

" 'The taking of Burgoyne did as much Łany other action to turn the scale, and achie four independence. The enemy wanted to estal fh a line from Canada to New York, and theywere then sure of victory. On the 12th of Oct fer a capitulation was made, and Burgoyne's arı de- posited their arms and marched by us, or bareen files of our men, and were nevermore to take u Arms against America. We held ourselves in re: ness for Gen. Clinton's army, which was coming the river, but they went back on the news of Bur I'ne.'

"I asked him about Washington. He s! 'he had often seen him pass and repass; that the | was no foppery about him; he was calm, sol and serene. He was the brightest jewel that ever lione under the sun. One occasion I well recolle A company of officers were seated around the fible, discussing some schemes of policy, and we of different opinions. Gen.

"I said to him, some have lately accuse Gen. Putnam of cowardice, and say that he was alased of it at the time; and that he avoided the nost dangerous conflicts.

"'It's a deliberate, wilful falsehood,' said . ‘I can't help being passionate when some u arts who are now enjoying the peace and libert heir fathers achieved should try to destroy Ol Put- nam's fair name and fame.

Cowan. The mother of this family passed away in 1853, aged fifty years, and the father survived until 1862. He was originally a Whig, later a Republican, but never took any active part in politics, and never held any public office.

NAPOLEON B. LEWIS, M. D., a prominent physician at Norwich, enjoys a large practice, and comes of an old and numerous family in the State of Rhode Island.

Moses B. Lewis, his grandfather, was a resident of Hopkinton, R. I., where he followed the occu- pation of farming. He died there at the age of eighty-one years. His first wife was a Miss Cran- dall, who was the mother of all his children, eight in number, only two of whom are now living. One is Mrs. Julia Whipple, of Rhode Island, and the other is Mrs. William Kenyon, of Hope Valley, same State.

Benjamin T. Lewis, father of Napoleon B. Lewis, was born in 1839, in Hopkinton, R. I., and his early life was spent there. He received a sound education in the district schools of his native town and the famous East Greenwich Academy. The young man was brought up to farm work, but after he finished his school course he taught school, as did so many of the farmers' sons, being located in his native town. Several years after his marriage he removed to Griswold, Conn., settling on a large farm near the village of Pachaug, and continued teaching for several years in addition to working upon the farm. Later he devoted his entire atten- tion to farming, and resided in that locality until his death, which occurred April II, 1883. He was buried in the cemetery at Pachaug. In political faith he was a Democrat, and after taking up his residence in Griswold he held a number of town offices, serving for many years as a member of the town board of education. He was a member of the Baptist Church at Jewett City.

Mr. Lewis was married to Mary J. Phillips, of Voluntown, Conn., born in 1846, in that town, a daughter of Thurston B. Phillips, a farmer of Vol- untown. Mrs. Lewis survives her husband, and makes her home with Dr. Lewis, their only child.

Dr. Lewis was born March 16, 1869, at Gris- wold, Conn., and received his early education in the public schools of the town. Later he entered Norwich Free Academy, and took the four years' course in three years, being graduated therefrom in the class

of 1889. He then taught school for two years in Griswold, and in the meanwhile managed the farm. Later he entered the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati, Ohio, and was graduated therefrom in June, 1894, at the same time taking two special courses in the city hospital of that city. On Aug. I, 1894, he opened an office at No. 34 Washington street, Norwich, and was located there until April, 1900, when he purchased his present property at No. 341 Main street. Dr. Lewis is a very prominent Democrat, and in June, 1902, he was elected a member of the present board of aldermen. Prior to that he was elected for a term of three years, 1900 to 1903, as a member of the board of education of the Central school district. He has been medical examiner of the town of Ledyard for six years, and for four years served as health officer for that town. On Oct. 1, 1903, he was appointed health officer of the city of Norwich, succeeding Dr. W. K. Tingley. Fraternally he is a member of Reliance Lodge, No. 29, I. O. O. F., at Jewett City ; Gardner Lodge, No. 46, K. of P., Russell Company No. 19, Uniform Rank (being assistant surgeon of the lat- ter lodge), and Hira Temple, No. 90, Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan, at New Britain, known as the side rank of the Knights of Pythias ; and Sassacus Tribe, No. 18, Improved Order of Red Men.

On June 6, 1898, Dr. Lewis was married, at Preston, to Hannah S. Sholes, a native of Preston, daughter of Jeremiah F. and Nancy (Crary) Sholes, a full account of which family appears elsewhere in this volume. The following children have come to Dr. and Mrs. Lewis: Helen Crary, born March 10, 1899 ; and Earl Sholes, born Aug. 18, 1903. Per- sonally Dr. Lewis is very popular, and he is also an enthusiastic and skilled physician, whose experience has been a wide one, and whose success in dealing with various dread diseases is most remarkable. Both he and his wife are important factors in the social life of the city, and they are very highly es- teemed by a wide circle of friends.

Albert N. Carpenter was born Feb. 13, 1854, at Taunton, Mass., and there received his schooling, which ended at the age of eighteen, in the public schools. At the age of fourteen he began working at the mason's trade with his father, and by the time he left school he was able to command wages of $5 per day, working for different parties for two years. At the end of that time he became associated with his father in the contracting business at Taun- ton, and there remained until the big fire at St. John, New Brunswick, in 1878, when the partner- ship was dissolved, and Albert N. went to that city. There he became associated with a Mr. Jones, and they did a large business in their line until the burned portion was rebuilt, for a period of about two years. Mr. Carpenter then returned to the United States, and was located at many places in New England, where work in his line could be had. For a time he was at White River Junction, Vt., where he erected the large depot and several public buildings. Later he had large contracts in Man- chester, N. H., and Lowell, Mass., where he was located for a year, and from there he went to Haver- hill, Mass., soon after the large fire there in 1882. He rebuilt a number of the large buildings, being associated a portion of the time with a Mr. Merrill. Later, for eleven years, he was a member of the firm of H. P. Cummings & Co., large contractors at Ware, Mass., Mr. Carpenter being the silent member of the firm. They did an extensive business, among their many contracts being the erection of the high school buildings at Whitinsville, and Lexington, Mass. In 1891 he had charge of the construction of the Inebriate Asylum at Foxboro, Mass., and in 1892 the firm began the erection of the buildings comprising the Backus Hospital at Norwich, Mr. Carpenter having entire charge of the work. The firm later secured other large contracts in that sec- tion, including the erection of the buildings of the Aspinook Bleachery, at Jewett City ; the factory of the Uncas Paper Company, at Norwich ; the factory for the Ulmer Leather Company, and many con- tracts in other places. After the dissolution of the firm of Cummings & Co., in 1898, Mr. Carpenter formed a partnership with Charles M. Williams, of Norwich, which was dissolved in May, 1904. As the surviving member of the firm Mr. Carpenter completed the New State Insane Hospital at Nor- wich. His business is one of the most extensive of its kind in eastern Connecticut, and is widely known. He is the only one in this section that will take the contract to do all the work on a large building. In 1904 he completed the new power station at Mystic for the Groton-Westerly Trolley Line.

On Nov. 5, 1881, Mr. Carpenter was married, in Lowell, Mass., to Martha A. Finley, of Vance- boro, Maine. They have had three children, Edith May, Florence Reid and Mabel Robinson (de-

ceased). They also are bringing up a nephew of Mr. Carpenter, Guy Francis Carpenter, upon whom they bestow the same care and affection they give their own children.

In former years Mr. Carpenter was a Democrat, but of late he has supoprted the Republican ticket. He was made a Master Mason in Ware, Mass., and is a member of Franklin Chapter, No. 4, and Frank- lin Council, No. 3, at Norwich. He is also a mem- ber of the Royal Arcanum, and the Arcanum Club. Mrs. Carpenter is a member of Trinity Methodist Church, in which she is an active worker, and of which Mr. Carpenter is a liberal supporter. Their fine home on Uncas street, Norwich, was erected by Mr. Carpenter in 1895. He is kind and indulgeni to his family, and finds his chief enjoyment in his home. He is enterprising, progressive, public-spir- ited and very liberal, qualities that make him justly popular. He and his family have won a high stand- ing in the social life of the community.

LLOYD P. AYER, one of the most extensive and thrifty as well as progressive farmers of the town of Franklin, belongs to the oldest family of the town. He resides on land that has been in the possession of the family continuously since about 1663.

It is a noteworthy fact that this property has never been owned by, or occupied by, any person other than an Ayer, and that no incumbrance of any kind has been put on the same. Tradition says the family is of Scotch origin.

(I) John Ayer, the first to come to America, was born in England in 1590. He crossed the Atlantic in 1637, on the ship "Mary Ann" commanded by Captain Goos, and he was described on the shipping list as John Eyre, grocer of Norwich. He was soon joined by his family of eight children, and after re- siding in Salisbury and Ipswich, he removed to Haverhill March 5, 1645, and there his death oc- curred in 1657. His wife Hannah passed away in 1675. Their children were as follows: John; Na- thaniel; Hannah married Stephen Webster; Re- becca married John Astell; Mary; Robert married Elizabeth Palmer; Thomas married Elizabeth Hutchins ; Obediah married Hannah Pike ; and Peter married Hannah Olin.

(II) John Ayer, of above family, was the first of the name to come to what is now Franklin, and the first white settler in the town. Tradition says that he had difficulties in Haverhill, and that he fled to the wilderness of Connecticut. He took up a large tract of land in what is now the northeast part of Franklin, and his house was near the ledges at Ayer's Gap. It is supposed that he resided there for a time, and then sent for his family, but a num- ber of years later he returned to Haverhill and there died, July 25, 1662. On May 5, 1646, he was married at Haverhill, Mass., to Sarah Williams, daughter of John Williams, of Haverhill. Their children were: John, born March 18, 1647, died

in 1683 ; Zebediah, born Oct. 24, 1650, marrid Eliz- abeth Chase; Nathaniel, born March 13, 165 gnar- ried Ann Swans ; Joseph, born May 16, 1658 ; Frah, born Jan. 17, 1661.

(VI) Bailey Ayer was a farmer and res d on the above mentioned property, there dying M. 20, 1844. He was a very active member of the Ieth- odist Church when it was in existence at Popaug, and he gave the church a bell, with the prov that the same bell was to be the property of the urch as long as a church existed in Franklin. WIn the church was moved to Baltic, the bell reverte o his heirs, who presented it to the Congregational Murch at Franklin, and it is in use in the present urch edifice.
