John Edwin Atwood, son of William and father of Eugene, was born in Mansfield, Conn., Sept. 13. 1822, the second in a family of eight children. Hle (lied at Stonington Sept. 20, 1903. From his boy- hood he was familiar with the workings of his fa- ther's plant. Although he never learned the ma- chinist's trade, he possessed a natural instinct for it, as well as a faculty for invention which he used to great advantage, making wonderful improve- ments in the machinery for silk manufacture. In his particular line he was easily the leading in- ventor of the times. It was in 1850 he started ont in a small way to manufacture silk machinery, in Atwoodville, town of Mansfieldl. His son, Eugene. as soon as old enough became associated with him. Their shop, 24 x 40 feet, proved inadequate as the years passed on and the superior quality of their product became known among the silk manufac- turers, and in 1870 they moved to Conantville, near Willimantic, there opening a larger sho . At this time the firm was known as the AAtwood Machine Company, and so continued until 1808. h 18-6 the Company suffered the loss of their buildings by fire, and they moved to Stonington In January, 1896, the Company became incorporated under the same name, with Eugene Atwood as president and treasurer, and E. E. Bradley, as secretary and vice-

president. In 1898 the Atwood Machine Company became consolidated with the Morrison Company. with Eugene Atwood, president and treasurer : E. E. Bradley, vice-president ; and J. H. Waldron. as- sistant treasurer. The name of the new cor oration is the Atwood Morrison Machine Company, and their present plant covers nearly 60,000 square feet of floor space, and has a reputation for workman- ship second to none in the world. Back of all this wonderful enterprise stood John Edwin Atwood. whose inventive genius and business and executive ability, ably seconded by the progressive spirit of his son, Eugene, made much of it possible. John E. Atwood was united in marriage with Lydia Aman la Conant, sister of John A. Conant. of Willimantic. To bless this union came one son, Eugene, birn in Mansfield. Sept. 20, 1846.

Eugene Atwood, a worthy son of a giftel fa- ther, has spent nearly his entire life as the business associate of his parent. From him he inheritel a love of the work, with which through early associ- ation he became familiar, and which his construct- ive genius has so assisted in expanding to it- present mammoth proportions. His has been the guiding hand to commercial pre-eminence. Ilis home was in Mansfield until he was twenty-seven years of age, and there he was married (first ) to Mice Har- vey. of Ashford, Conn. To this union came three children, of whom Eugenie and Mice died in chil I- hood, and Agnes Genevieve survives. The wife and mother died in Mansfickl. Mr. AAtwood was married ( second) in Brooklyn. N. Y .. to Miss _An- nie Y. Cutler, daughter of Capt. B. F. Cutler. Three children have been born to this marriage: John E ... Annie and Constance. Mr. Atwood has long been a member of the Masonic fraternity.

The Atwoods of the eastern part of Connecticut are believed to be descended from one Harman Atwood, of Sanderste 1. Surrey, England. whowas a son of John and a grandson of Nicholas and Olive Atwood.

Returning to his native State, he established himself in Norwich, where he started a newspaper called the Republican, which was supported by many of the leading men of the town. Later he published the Newes, which was discontinued in 1849, on the- breaking out of the California gold fever. While a resident of Norwich he was collector of the port under Tyler's administration.

boat between Norwich and New York. In 1849, with a small company, made up of several Norwich men and other acquaintances, Mr. Faulkner sailed for California, via the Horn, on the whaler "Tres- cott." of Mystic, Conn. He took with him a print- ing outfit, with the intention of setting up in the newspaper business in San Francisco. The voyage was a long and tedious one, lasting seven months. At Talcahuano, Chili, there came aboard the ship Warren Leland, who later became one of the best hotel men in the world. Mr. Faulkner formed a partnership with Mr. Leland by disposing of an interest in the printing outfit. This arrangement came at an opportune time, enabling Mr. Faulkner to comply with the unfair and exorbitant terms of the captain of the vessel. The printing establish- ment was started, and after a short time was dis- posed of for $60,000 to Gen. Jonas Winchester and others. Gen. Winchester was a noted newspaper man, and before going to California was associated with Horace Greeley in publishing the New Yorker. in New York City. Mr. Faulkner soon afterward returned to New England, via the Panama route, and located in Guilford, Conn., where with several others he engaged in the iron manufacturing busi- ness, furnishing the main part of the capital. He resided there some few years, and was interested in several projects. The iron manufacturing was not a success, and later Mr. Faulkner removed to New Haven, where for a time he was connected with the Nezes, and also was interested, with his son George, in the flour and feed business. After two years he sold out his interest in the latter business and ac- cepted the position of agent for James Connor & Son, type-founders, of New York City, in San Francisco. He held this agency and resided in East Oakland, Cal., unt'1 his death, March 26, 1878, at the age of sixty-nine years, three months; he is buried in the Oakland cemetery. He was one of the founders of Grace Episcopal Church in San Francisco, and one of the pioneer churchmen of California, having always been an carnest member of that communion. In politics he was a Democrat, and he served as a member of the famous Vigilance Committee in San Francisco. He did much for the advancement of newspaper work, was an enterpris- ing and progressive citizen, and a well known and highly respected man. The memory of his energy. perseverance, enterprise and courage is one of the clearest possessions of his children.

William Faulkner married (first ), Oct. 14. 1820). in Norwich, Frances, daughter of Capt. Elias and Irene (Carey) Lord. Capt. Elias Lord was born Sept. 10, 1762, and died May 25, 1830 ; Irene Cares, his wife, was born Aug. 17. 1777, and died Oct. 10. 1814.

Stowe, who

was born Oct. 12, 1818, and died in 19or in San Francisco, and is there buried beside her husband. She was the mother of one son, Charles l'tman, born May 4, 1853. at Guilford, Conn., who is identi- fied with the drug business in San Francisco. In 1872 he married Nellie McMorris, in that city.

Francis William Faulkner was born Aug. 4. 1830, at his father's old home on Church street, in Norwich, and attended the public schools of Nor- wich unt'l about the age of thirteen. He had for some time manifested a desire to go to sea, and levi- ing home he shipped as a cabin boy on the packet "Quebec." Capt. Hibbard, who was a native of Nor- wich. After a couple of voyages in the "Ouchee" he made two voyages to Liverpool in the "Queen of the West." Returning home to Norwich he entered his father's employ as a printer, at which trade he worked until he went to California, in 1849. He was a member of the same party with which his father went, sailing on the whaler "Tres- cott." After reaching San Francisco he was for a time engaged as a printer, and for a while at pros- pecting. The desire for a seafaring life again seized him, and he made several voyages um and down the coast from San Francisco, and later all the Pacific Mail steamers made voyages to long Kong and other Asiatic ports. In 1851 he returned East, via the Isthmus route, and went to Giuliord. Conn. He soon went to sea again, going on the bark "Cazone." built at Gifford. Capt.

C., March 8, 1865, and with 800 others of Connecticut and Massa- chusetts troops taken prisoners at that place was confined in Libby prison, but was paroled March 26, 1865. He was mustered out of the service at Newberne, N. C., June 7, 1865. Returning to the North he located in New Haven, where he was em- ployed on the Journal and later on the Register, which position he retained until 1867, when he went to California, sailing for San Francisco. During his stay in that city he was engaged on some of the leading papers, such as the Call, the Bulletin, and the Examiner, and in the principal job offices of the city. During his residence in San Francisco at this time, he was for some time engaged on steamers between that city and China and Japan ports. He joined an expedition in which his father was inter- ested, which left San Francisco for the Ochotsk Sea. This expedition was formed to search for minerals on the islands and coast of Kamchatka Pen- insula, and was gone about seven months, its mem- bers experiencing no little privation. They were carried by the schooner "Nautillus," which at that time was the smallest craft that had crossed the Pacific ; it was a flat-bottomed vessel that had been in use between San Francisco and San Quentin. In 1879 he returned East and settled in Norwich, where he has ever since made his home. For a time he engaged in newspaper work, but is at present living in retirement.

A. R., of Norwich, of which he has been com- mander. Mr. Faulkner is one of the Connecticut "Minute Men," having been a member of Company D, 3d Conn. V. I., and received from the Connecti- cut Legislature a bronze medal, in accordance with an act passed by that body in January, 1903.
