1 O. Buzzell, father of Orrin A., was
De 20, 1839, in Dayton, Maine. After the
lis literary training was passed he be-
iod o ticed to the carpenter's trade. Soon after le app uiring thorough knowledge of his chosen call- he eparked in the general contracting busi- on own account, following that business It suc ssfully in various portions of Maine, cipal until 1892, when he retired from an ve bu ntee less career. He was the inventor and a loom picker, which is to-day used as inally Unite ade by Mr. Buzzell, and is sold all over States. In partnership with Frank Al- he ch co and nded the Biddeford Picker Company, rn from a small beginning grew stead- ; finally sold in 1878, now being known he Gi of tl ind Manufacturing Company, which is largest picker manufacturing concerns his c itry. Mr. Buzzell is a representative En id character, a type of the far-sighted
jessfu usiness man, who favors progress in y dire ion, and yet keeps a hold upon the tra- ns of s ancestry and a reverence for the cus- of h early days, with the Puritans' conscience puts fre guiding check on selfish ambition and in to good impulses and native charity. s a p

On Feb. 1I, 1860, Mr. Buzzell was united in marriage, with Susan Roberts Gordon, daughter of James R. and Susan ( Roberts) Gordon, of Dayton, Maine, and to them have been born three children, as follows: (I) Emma Jane, born Feb. 23, 1862, married George W. Boyd, and died Feb. 27, 1903, in Bangor, Maine, leaving two children, Laura M. and Frank. (2) Orrin A. is mentioned below. (3) Grace May, born Sept. 26, 1879, married Joseph Brown, of Bangor, Maine. They have had no chil- dren.
Mr. and Mrs. Buzzell are consistent and devout members of the Free Will Baptist Church, of Ban- gor, Maine, in which city they reside. Of this con- gregation Mr. Buzzell has served as deacon for a number of years, and his consistent Christian life, his deep sympathy, his liberality-giving to the ob- jects of benevolence according to his ability-have peculiarly fitted him, in the estimation of those in- side and outside of the church, to serve in the office to which his brethren have called him.
Orrin A. Buzzell, whose name introduces this sketch, was born Nov. 16, 1866, in Saco, Maine. His educational training was begun in the common schools of Biddeford, Maine, and finished in Ban- gor, Maine, whither his parents removed when he was seven years of age. After attending the com- mon schools of Bangor, he entered the high school of that city, from which he graduated in the class of 1884. Shortly after leaving school he established himself in business in Sangerville, Maine, in part- nership with Elmer E. Ricker, under the firm name of Buzzell & Ricker. This firm was successfully engaged in business for about a year and a half, handling a full line of clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, etc. Mr. Buzzell then sold out his interest in the concern, and returned to Bangor, where he purchased his father's half-interest in the Bangor Steam Laundry, his father having bought this interest as an investment. Mr. Buzzell con- tinted in the laundry business for about six and one-half years, during which time he was instru- mental in consolidating all the three steam laundries there under the name of the Bangor Laundry Com- pany, and upon the organization of this company Mr. Buzzell was made president of the same, con- tinuing to act in that capacity until he finally sold his interests to the other stockholders, and with- drew from the concern. As president of this com- pany Mr. Buzzell succeeded in largely increasing the volume of its business, which, during his admin- istration of affairs, was very prosperous. Upon sev- ering his connection with the Bangor Laundry Com- pany, he returned to Sangerville, to accept the posi- tion of bookkeeper of the Campbell Manufacturing Company, one of the largest woolen dress goods manufacturing establishments in the New England States. In this capacity he remained for about three and one-half years, during which period he had acquired such a comprehensive knowledge of the manufacture of woolen goods that upon the resig-

nation of Angus Park, Sept. 9, 1899, as secretary of the Niantic Manufacturing Company, at East Lyme, Conn., in which Mr. David R. Campbell, his father- in-law and former employer, is a large stockholder, Mr. Buzzell accepted the position made vacant. Upon his succeeding to the position of secretary of this enterprise Mr. Buzzell and his family removed to East Lyme, where they have since resided. Of this company Mr. Buzzell has since been elected a director, and still continues as such.
Socially Mr. Buzzell is a member of Bay View Lodge, No. 120, F. & A. M., of Niantic. He was also, while a resident of Maine, a member of the Bangor Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and of the B. P. O. E. Lodge, No. 144, at Bangor. Religiously Mr. and Mrs. Buzzell are inclined toward the Epis- copal faith, but, owing to the fact that there is no church of that denomination in their vicinity they attend the Baptist Church of East Lyme, to which they give their liberal support. In political faith Mr. Buzzell is a stanch adherent to the principles of the Republican party, but has never cared for nor sought political office, preferring to devote his time to his business interests. Since residing in East Lyme, however, he has been prevailed upon by his many friends to accept the office of member of the school board, to which he was elected in 1904.
Mr. Buzzell was united in marriage April 30, 1890, to Miss Grace Eldora Campbell, daughter of David R. and Eleanor (Lovejoy) Campbell of San- gerville, Maine. Mr. Campbell is one of the best- known and most extensive woolen goods manufac- turers in the New England States, and is classed among the most substantial and wealthy citizens of Maine. He is also president of the Niantic Manu- facturing Company, of East Lyme, of which Mr. Buzzell is secretary. To Mr. and Mrs. Buzzell has come one son, Leon Campbell Buzzell, born Feb. 14, 1891, in Bangor, Maine.
Although giving his business interests the closest attention, Mr. Buzzell is an enthusiastic sportsman, enjoying an occasional hour's recreation with the rod and gun, and he has in his possession many tro- phies of his success in such pastime and health- ful recreation. His knowledge of current events is broad and appreciative, and he is an admirer and patron of standard literature, his library being an extensive one. Personally Mr. Buzzell is popular, his genial disposition, unostentatious character and gentlemanly manner making and keeping for him many friends. His refined tastes are evidenced in the pleasing appearance of his home, to which he is much devoted.

Charles Brewster Lee was born Dec. 21, 1855, in Norwich, attended the public schools and the Free Academy there, and a private school in New York State. After returning from school he clerked in a store for a time, and then became bookkeeper for Hall Bros., which position he filled for a number of years. Following this he engaged in the real-estate business, and rapidly forged his way to the front in that line in Norwich. The marked ability shown in this business brought to him important and exten -. sive work in fiduciary capacities, which included the settlement of several of the largest estates in eastern Connecticut in recent years. The Courts have ap- pointed him trustee and receiver of several large manufacturing corporations. In connection with such work he was called in 1896 to adjust the affairs of the Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Company, and from that company, whose affairs were wound up, was organized the Hopkins & Allen Arms Company. This company was formed in 1898. Mr. Lee was one of the larger stockholders, was elected general manager, secretary and treasurer, and has filled his important positions with ability and fidelity. The Hopkins & Allen Arms Company is one of the best known concerns of its kind in the United States, and one whose product no doubt has a wider range of consumption than that of any other New London county manufacturing business. It employs more than six hundred hands. Mr. Lee's prominent iden- tification with it entitles him to rank among the representative business men of the city of Norwich. Among other business connections he is president of The Broadway Theatre Corporation.
In 1887, in Norwich, Mr. Lee was married to Jennie May Whipple, daughter of Samuel and Ann Maria (Chapman) Whipple, late of Norwich. Mr. and Mrs. Lee are members of the Episcopal Church. Socially Mr. Lee was one of the founders of the Ar- canum Club, serving as its first president in 1875, as well as a number of times since, his last term being in 1896. He also belongs to the. Norwich Club. Fraternally he is a member of St. James Lodge, F. & A. M .; Franklin Chapter; Franklin Council; and Columbian Commandery, Knights Templar, having attained the thirty-second degree, in Scottish Rite Masonry. He is one of the original incorporators of the Masonic Temple Corporation, serving as a member of the building committee when that edifice was erected, and he has been a director to the present time. Politically Mr. Lee is a Repub- lican, but is not active in public affairs.
