HENRY BARKER NORTON was reared in his na- tive town and given a common-school education. In 1824 he cast his lot with the people of Norwich, and at the time his cash capital consisted of only one dollar. He began his career there as a clerk with the firm of Willis, Gray & Co., and three years later became associated as a partner in the wholesale gro- cery business of Backus & Norton, continuing in business in that connection and the successive changes in the firm of Norton, Converse & Co., and Norton Bros., until his retirement from active busi- ness, in 1877, a period of fifty years. At this time ( 1877) the wholesale grocery house of Norton Bros. was one of the largest in Connecticut, and its reputa- tion second to none.

Through his long and active career as merchant, manufacturer and citizen in his adopted town and city, Mr. Norton was deeply interested in all that pertained to its interests. All measures for the de- velopment of material, religious and educational af- fairs found in him an earnest supporter and gener- ous contributor. His many acts of benevolence were appreciated by all. He was one of the original in- corporators of the Norwich Free Academy in 1854, and for years was president of the board of trustees of that institution of which for years he was presi- dent. He was the first president of the Norwich & New York Transportation Company. For some years he was a large stockholder and the president

of the Attawaugan Manufacturing Company of Norwich. He was a director of the Norwich Bleach- ing, Dyeing & Printing Company and the Richmond Stove Company. He was interested in a number of western railroads and outside corporations. He was a director in the Bulletin Company, and in the Peo- ple's Line of Steamers between New York and Al- bany, being for some years president of the line. Mr. Norton's religious connections were with the Broadway Congregational Church, in which he was a deacon. His political affiliations were with the Republican party. During the Civil war his services were of great value to Gov. Buckingham.

"Henry B. Norton was another of our citizens whose services, ever generous and unceasing, en- deared him to all Norwich soldiers. His name is one which they speak to this day with the warmest feelings. Quick to perceive what should be done, and eager to help wheresoever he could, he rendered the most timely assistance to the Governor. Super- intending the transportation of troops, the charter- ing of vessels, the purchasing of the army supplies in the early period of the war, and thereafter at- tending personally to the wants and comforts of our men in the field, his labors were invaluable. Sol- diers came to feel that if he was on the lookout for them they would not suffer for the lack of anything his thoughtful care and means could provide. Mem- bers of the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regiments write him down as their friend, one whose presence and aid tided them over many a day of pressing need. His services, from first to last, were the free- will offering his patriotism alone inspired him to render in the way of compensation."

Mr. Norton was chosen a Presidential elector on the Republican ticket in 1880. He never sought political preferment. He acquired and retained dur- ing his long life the esteem and respect of the com- munity, and as a beautiful result he seemed to be without enemies. "Seldom has the death of a citi- zen of Norwich excited so deep and such profound regret. It was a loss that was felt in the circles of business and public improvements, and in the de- partments of education and philanthropy."

Mr. Norton was personally popular, was genial, kind, affable and hospitable. In his death, which occurred at his home in Norwich Oct. 25, 1891, there passed away one of New England's sterling char- acters, a man who, by his upright life, industry, en- ergy and thrift, impressed himself upon the com- munity in which he had lived the greater part of a century. He was a man, too, of the self-made mold, one who was calculated to inspire confidence and bear incentive for those beginning a life wherein self- reliance and self-depending is their only hope.

On June 19, 1831, Mr. Norton married, in Bran- ford, Emeline Frisbie, daughter of Calvin and Polly (Harrison) Frisbie. She was born in Branford, May 29, 1808, and died in Norwich May 14, 1887, and is buried in the Yantic cemetery, where Mr. Norton is also interred. Seven children, two sons

and five daughters, were born to this union, fc living to maturity : Isabella Farnsworth, who ma ried Timothy B. Blackstone, and resides in Chicag Ill., and Emeline Frisbie, Mary Fowler, and Ella M all of whom reside in Washington street, Norwid

M Norton was a man popular with all classes, and du ing the Civil war he aided the cause in many way; being a friend and supporter of the war governc Buckingham. He equipped three substitutes for tl war. Mr. Norton was a Republican, but not a pol tician. He was a member of Broadway Congreg: tional Church, a good Christian man, and a devote father and husband.

On Nov. 9, 1852, in Branford, Mr. Norton wa married, by Rev. John P. Gillett, to Mary Elizabet Plant, who was born in Branford, Conn., Oct. I 1826. She died Sept. 19, 1879, and is buried in Yan tic cemetery. Mrs. Norton was a daughter of Joh and Angelina (Beach) Plant. She was a lady culture and refinement, and was much devoted to he family. The untimely death of her husband was great burden of sorrow to her, and she died from its effect while still in middle life, and was burie beside her husband.

HON. SUPPLY TWYNG HOLBROOK. In the death of Judge Holbrook, which occurred at his home on River avenue, Laurel Hill, Norwich, on April 19, 1895, the community lost one of its best known and most prominent citizens.

Born Sept. 7, 1822, in Roxbury, Mass., Judge Holbrook was a son of Sabin and Mary (Whitte- more) Holbrook, and came on both sides from early New England ancestry. On his father's side he was a descendant in the eighth generation from Thomas Holbrook, of Weymouth, Mass., from whom his lineage is through Thomas (2), Peter, Joseph, Joseph (2), Seth and Sabin Holbrook.

The name of Holbrook is one both ancient and distinguished. As early as the reign of Richard II one of the name was advanced to the order of knighthood and a coat of arms given him. In books of heraldry there are many coats of arms under the name. The details of the generations referred to above and in the order there named follow :

(I) Thomas Holbrook, of Weymouth, Mass., as early as 1640, is thought by Morse to have prob- ably come with the colony of settlers from Wey- mouth in Dorsetshire, England, in 1624. For a number of years betweeen 1641 and 1654 inclusive he was a selectman of the town. He died in 1674-76. His widow, Joanna, died before April 24, 1677.

Mr. Holbrook was an important man for his day, and laid the foundation of great good to his race, many of whom are still enjoying it within the circle of his former influence and possessions. The lands which he left to his sons were mostly subse- quently included in Bellingham. He died May 3, 1712. His children were: John, born Sept. 24, 1679; Peter, Oct. 16, 1681 ; Joseph, May 8, 1683; Silvanus, Aug. 15, 1685 ; Jonah, March 7, 1686-87 ; Richard, May 30, 1690; Eliphalet, Jan. 27, 1691-92; William, March 28, 1693-94; Samuel, Feb. 27, 1695-96; and Mary, Oct. 14, 1702.

(V) Joseph Holbrook (2), born Nov. 24, 1714, died July 14, 1784. His wife, Grace, died May 13, 1791. Their children were: Esther, born April I, 1739 ; Bethia, April 13, 1741 ; Phebe, Nov. 28, 1743; Jonathan, May 31, 1746; Joseph, Oct. 15, 1748; Seth, Nov. 24, 1751; and Melatiah, Feb. 28, 1755.

(VI) Seth Holbrook, born Nov. 24, 1751, mar-' ried, in 1775, Dinah Holbrook, and resided in Bel- lingham. He was a soldier of the Revolution, being a member of a company of militia which marched from Bellingham, Mass., April 19, 1775, under com- mand of Capt. Jesse Holbrook. He was also a ser- geant of Capt. Cowell's company in the Suffolk and York Regiment, commanded by Col. Robin- son, in March, 1776. Mr. Holbrook became a Uni- ted States pensioner. He died Nov. 13, 1839.

Supply T. Holbroook was given a good educa- tion by his parents, and being musically inclined proper attention was given to his talents in this line until he became well versed and proficient in music. In early manhood he became a resident of Hartford, and while there was a member of a brass band. From Hartford he went to New London, and after a year there, in about 1844, located at Norwich, which ever afterward for fifty and more years was his place of residence. Here he soon was identified

with the musical interests of the town. He accepted the position of organist of the Second Congrega- tional Church, at that time under the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Bond, and for many years most efficiently and to the satisfaction of the congregation sustained such relations to the choir and church. In his earlier years Mr. Holbrook also taught vocal music in the basement of the Universalist Church. He bore the reputation of being a good teacher and was popular with his scholars, among whom was the late Judge Charles W. Carter, of Norwich.

Acting on the advice of the late Henry Bill Mr. Holbrook decided to prepare himself for the legal profession, and began the study of law in the office and under the direction of the late Hon. Jeremiah Halsey, of Norwich. He was admitted to the Bar in New London county in 1856, and in that same year was elected judge of probate, a position he held by re-election with intelligence, ability and to the satisfaction of the people of the district for twelve consecutive years. After an intermission of a de- cade he was again, in 1879, chosen judge of pro- bate, and held the office by continuous re-election until 1892, when he became legally disqualified from further tenure of office on account of having reached the age limit-seventy years. While serving as pro- bate judge he was several times elected president of the Connecticut Probate Assembly .. "Judge Hol- brook was a man of broad culture, and was looked upon as an authority in matters connected with prac- tice in the probate court. His studies extended into various fields of learning." During his long period of service as judge of probate-twenty-five years- he fulfilled the obligations with dignity and grace, and although he was by virtue of his office entitled to fees, they were rarely taken by him from people who could ill afford to pay. Between the periods of Judge Holbrook's service as judge of probate he was chosen to preside over the county court, whose jurisdiction was similar to that of the present court of common pleas, and held the position until the court was abolished.

Judge Holbrook was twice elected a member of the State Legislature, first in 1873, when he had for a colleague the late Hon. John Turner Wait; and second in 1876, at which time his brother member from Norwich was Hon. George B. Hyde. During both terms Judge Holbrook took an active and prominent part in the business of the House. When not in office Judge Holbrook was engaged in the practice of law and did not lack clients. He was often chosen to settle estates. The loss of his law library and a portion of his other collection of books, by fire, about a year before his death, was a serious one, as his annotations in his law books could not be replaced. He was a member of the Second Congregational Church at Norwich. He was a man of sunny and cheerful disposition, the kind of man it was a pleasure to meet in the daily walks of life. His home was perfect. As a citizen he was always above reproach. He was a kind friend and neigh-

bor, and went to his reward with the high estee and regard of the community in which he had move so long.

Judge Holbrook was married first to Sara Shepard, of Norwich, and (second) to Miss Carr Stark. His widow and children still survive. TI two sons are Charles S., of Norwich, and Frank W of New Haven. The daughters are Mrs. E. ( Tewksbury, of China; Mrs. Robert A. France, ( New Haven ; and Mrs. B. P. Sands, of Boston.

CHARLES S. HOLBROOK, son of the late Judg Supply T. Holbrook, and the present town clerk ( Norwich, was born in the city of Norwich Oct. 21 1856. He attended the public schools of his nativ city and the Norwich Free Academy, and at a early age entered the store of Lee & Osgood, wher he learned the drug business and where he sper twenty-five years as a druggist. In 1900 he wa elected town clerk, to succeed the late Samuel F Freeman, and he fills that office with dignity and sa isfaction to the general public. He is noted for h genial manner and gentlemanly demeanor, and popular with all classes. Politically he is a Republ can. Mr. Holbrook attends the Congregationa Church, and socially is a member of the Arcanui Club of Norwich. He was married in Norwich June 15, 1892, to Ella P. Plummer, daughter ch Frank J. and Josephine (Wyman) Plummer, c Norwich, and they have one child, Josephine A.

COIT (New London Branch). For upwards cf 250 years the Coits have been prominently identifie with the interests of the ancient town of New Lon don, in the social life and in public affairs, in which members of a number of generations during thi long period have figured more or less conspicuously Until June 19, 1904, active in the town's life wa Hon. Robert Coit, president of the New London { Northern Railroad and of the Union Bank, and a honored and respected citizen. Still left is Judg William B. Coit, the only son of Hon. Robert Coit who is judge of the city and police court of Nev London.

The progenitor of the New London and Nor wich Coits was John Coit, the first of the name in New England, who came probably from Glamorgan shire, Wales, between 1630 and 1638. He was il Salem, Mass., where he had a grant of land in 1638 In 1644, he removed to Gloucester, and in 1648 wa selectman there ; he was a freeman in 1647. He had considerable land on Wheeler's Point and Planter'. Neck, and received a grant of land in New London Conn., in 1650, to which he came the next year. Iı England he wedded Mary Ganners, or Jenners, and in that country all of his children were born pre vious to emigration. He died Aug. 29, 1659, and his widow died Jan. 2, 1676. Their children were John, Joseph, Mary and Martha.

From this John Coit the lineage of Robert Coit late of New London, is through Deacon Joseph John (2), Joseph, Hon. Joshua and Robert Coit.
