The family has long been identified with the First church, of which Mr. Goss has been a most active and helpful member. He has served again and again on its more important committees and has contributed in many ways to the upbuilding of the cause and the extension of its influence. He has stood at all times for those elements which are most progressive forces in the community. The cause of education has found in him a stalwart champion and in former years he was president of the board of directors of the Hillside Avenue school. He also became one of the incorporators of the English and Classical School and a member of its first executive board.
EDWARD OTIS GOSS.
Edward Otis Goss, assistant treasurer and general manager of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, is active in the control of one of the oldest as well as one of the most important industrial enterprises of Waterbury. A native son of the city, he is a grandson of Ephraim and Margaret (Porter) Goss and a son of Chauncey Porter and Caroline Amelia (Ketchum) Goss. His grandfather was a prominent lawyer and an influential citizen of the district in which he lived. Chauncey Porter Goss was but two years of age when the family home was established at Pittsford, New York, where he pursued a district school cducation and then entered upon an apprenticeship in a general store. He was yet in his teens when he became a buyer of all kinds of produce and won success in the undertaking. His identification with Waterbury's business interests dated from 1862, in which year he became assistant book- keeper with the Scovill Manufacturing Company. In January, 1864, he was elected secretary of the company, five years later was chosen its treasurer and in 1876 became one of its directors. He was also elected treasurer of the Matthews & Willard Manufacturing Company and won a place among the most prominent, substantial and reliable business men of the city. He was also a very prominent member and helpful worker in the First church.
His son, Edward O. Goss, was the eldest of a family of seven children. He became a pupil in the Waterbury English and classical school and afterward attended the Institute of Technology, where he pursued a special course and was graduated with the class of 1887. His preliminary training well qualified him for the important duties which devolve upon him in his present position with the Scovill Manufacturing Company. This company was organized as a joint stock company on the 28th of January, 1850, but had its inception in 1802, when Abel Porter, Daniel Clark, Silas Grilley and Levi Porter began manufacturing metal buttons under the firm style of Abel Porter & Company. This constituted the initial move in the establishment of the extensive brass and copper industries of Waterbury. They obtained copper by purchasing worn out stills, sugar boilers, old kettles and copper sheathing. In 1806 Levi Porter sold his interest in the business and afterward David Hayden became a partner. In August, 1809, Silas Grilley sold out and on the 19th of September, 1811, the whole business passed into the hands of Dr. Frederick Leavenworth, David Hayden and J. M. L. Scovill. Their product was improved in 1820 by the employment of James Croft, an Englishman, who had been thoroughly trained in the business and was therefore able to instruct other workmen, and in 1824, when the Marquis de Lafayette visited America, the company presented him with a full set of solid gold buttons. The die, which was cut at the United States mint, is still preserved.

WATERBURY AND THE NAUGATUCK VALLEY
On the 4th of April, 1827, the firm became J. M. L. & W. H. Scovill. The business grew steadily and in 1842 the firm began the manufacture of plated metal for daguerreotype plates, which proved a very profitable branch of their business. In 1850 all branches of the business were consolidated into one joint stock organization under the name of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, with a capital stock of two hundred thousand dollars, which was later increased to four hundred thousand dollars. At that date there were one hundred and ninety employes and an engine of eighty horse power operated the plant. Ten years later there were one hundred and ninety-three employes but the horse power had increased to two hundred. In 1870 there were three hundred and thirty-eight er ployes. In 1880 there were three hundred and ninety-nine, while in 1892 the company employed twelve hundred hands. The policy of the house toward its employes may be indicated by the fact that there are those in the service of the company who have been with them from thirty to fifty years. The line of manufacture has been largely extended. About 1866 they furnished the United States mint with planchets for the three-cent nickel coins and in April, 1890, began furnishing the mint with cleaned and milled planchets for the one-cent bronze coins and for the five- cent nickel coins. In December, 1880, the company made a contract with the United States of Colombia to furnish them nickel coins and put in an outfit of coining machinery, supply- ing to that government the coins for the succeeding six years. In 1895 they furnished the Peruvian government with bronze coins, indicating something of the extent of their bnsi- ness." In 1893 they were called upon to produce the award medals for the exhibitors of the Columbian Exposition, which was without doubt the most difficult and exacting work of this character ever done in Waterbury. The medals which are three inches in diameter, were executed in pure copper and finished in a rich bronze, burned on and planished. The present officers of the company are: C. P. Goss, president and treasurer; M. L. Sperry, vice president and secretary; C. M. DeMott, assistant secretary; E. O. Goss, assistant `treasurer and general manager; and John H. Goss, general superintendent.
While Mr. Goss has concentrated the greater part of his time and attention for many years upon the further development and control of the interests of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, he has at the same time been an active factor in upholding civic standards and developing those interests which make for higher civilization and the adoption of loftier ideals. He is a member of the Congregational church and is interested in all those forces which make for moral progress. He was a member of the building committee for the erection of the Young Men's Christian Association and has been much interested in that organization. He has also been actively identified with the temperance movement and following a great series of temperance meetings held in 1893, by Thomas Edward Murphy, was active in the work to make permanent the results of that meeting. The Waterbury council for temperance work was organized and following this a stock company was formed for the establishment of the Wayside Inn, a temperance restaurant and lodging house on Grand street. Of this company Mr. Goss became one of the directors. In a word, he has ever stood for those things which are most worth while in community life.
JOHN HENRY GOSS.
John Henry Goss was born in Waterbury, June 5, 1872, a son of Chauncey Porter and Caroline Amelia (Ketchum) Goss, of whom mention is made elsewhere in this work. He was educated in private schools of Waterbury and pursued his academic course in Yale, where he won his Bachelor of Arts degree as a member of the class of 1894. He then started out in the business world, beginning as an apprentice in the tool room of the Scovill Manufacturing Company on the 12th of September, 1894. He there spent about two years, thoroughly acquainting himself with the practical phases of the business. He then entered the office of the superintendent of what was known as the burner department, working under John Lyons, and there remained until the failing health of Mr. Lyons, at which time he became acting superintendent, and following the death of Mr. Lyons about 1904, Mr. Goss succeeded him to the superintendency of the department, with which he remained for about two years thereafter. In the meantime he was proving his worth and adaptability and to him was given the task of consolidating the button department with the burner department into the manufacturing department, of which he was made the superintendent. The business was gradually growing and developing, reaching out its ramifying trade connections over a broad territory and into various fields. In 1909 Mr. Goss was promoted to the newly created position of general superintendent and continues in that capacity to the present day, but the duties which devolved upon him originally in that position bore little resemblance to the
633
WATERBURY AND THE NAUGATUCK VALLEY
great responsibilities which are now his as the general superintendent of this great institution. The marvelous growth of the plant of the Scovill Manufacturing Company has been under the direction of John Henry Goss and the history of the business is given at length in this volume under a separate caption. The plant is today a giant productive concern, to which additions are continually being made. The wonderful organization of the company is based upon the traditions affecting the men, their loyalty and honor, which have always been kept in sight. At the beginning of the company's existence fairness was maintained with all employes and from this poliey it has never deviated in the slightest. The relations of employer and employe are largely indicated in the fact that many men have been with them for decades, some as long as seventy-five years, while a considerable number have represented the firm for fifty or sixty years. Some one has said that John Henry Goss as general superintendent of the Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury is a genius of production. In his capacity as general superintendent of this gigantic concern he is making a most valuable contribution to the prosecution of the great war and as a man he sets an important example to the thirteen thousand employes and their families. His attitude concerning questions of publie policy and questions of business activity and loyalty is reflected in those in his service and his example in matters of conduct is their standard. His remarkable business development is shown in the equally rapid and healthful growth of the business of the Scovill Manufacturing Company. Beginning work as an apprentice after a thorough college education, he learned the work of the mills and through successive stages of development has reached his present position in the most important manufacturing institution in the Naugatuck valley and one of the most important in the entire country. He is a close student of human nature and he has surrounded himself with an organization that has been able to assimilate and direct the constantly increasing business and yet preserve and perpetuate the spirit and traditions which have ever been connected with the house. There is perhaps in all the United States no great corporation that has in greater degree the loyalty of its men. It is a matter of pride with them that they are loyal to the company and it is also a recognized fact that the company has ever shown marked appreciation of capability and worth on the part of those who are its representatives. In these days of rapidly expanding manufacturing concerns that have been awarded great war contracts the Scovill Manufacturing Company has been able to keep its original and characteristic traits unimpaired in spite of the fact that since 1914 the number of its employes has been more than quadrupled. Mr. Goss, in addition to his engrossing duties in the Scovill Manufacturing Company still finds time, however, to devote to great projects and gives of his aid, influence and money toward their success. Serious, a thinker, with a mind well trained for the solution of complex and intricate problems, based upon broad knowledge of general conditions, he today occupies a central place on the stage of activity in Connecticut and New England. He is in love with his work and his native town and he does all that he can to further the interests and welfare of Waterbury. With high ideals he combines most practical methods and through the years of his connection with the great Scovill Manu- facturing Company he has watched its development to the concern that it is today.
Mr. Goss has ever recognized his duties and obligations in relation to his city and to his state and he is now a member of the board of education of Waterbury, serving for a second term of six years. He is the vice president of the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut and is giving valuable aid in this connection for the development of the material interests of the state. He was appointed by Governor Holcomb a member of the commission that has charge of the State Farm for Women. He is also a member of the factory wastes commission, sitting with the state health commission. He has taken a deep interest in all campaigns and activities affecting the progress of the war and was one of the state organizers of the American Red Cross. He was also made a member for New Haven county of the State Council of Defense and belongs to one of the sub-committees of the State Council of Defense, known as the committee of state protection. As a member of the safety committee of Waterbury he became one of the organizers of the City Guard. He has seen military service, having for three years been a member of Company H of the Second Connecticut National Guard. His political allegiance has always been given to the republican party, but he is of that class of American manhood that recognizes the fact that national interests should transcend all partisanship and his efforts have been directed with that end in view.
On the 17th of June, 1902, Mr. Goss was married to Miss Ella Shepardson Young, a daughter of Alden Marsh Young, of Waterbury. They became the parents of three children, Elizabeth Alden, John Brockway and Milton Warner. Mr. and Mrs. Goss are members of the First Congregational church.
Mr. Goss is a member of the Waterbury Club and the Country Club, also the Graduates Vol. III-22
634
WATERBURY AND THE NAUGATUCK VALLEY
Club of New Haven, the Yale Club of New York and the Railroad Club of New York. During his college days he was a member of the Yale track team and was famed as a sprinter. He is without a trace of ostentation, nor is there about him the least shadow of mock modesty. He believes that the individual should study his own capacities and powers and thus recognize the opportunity for their development. He has himself been a close student of human nature and especially of his employes, in whose welfare he is most interested. His analytical mind has enabled him to dissolve any situation into its essential elements and in all of his business career he has shown a belief in evolutionary rather than in revolutionary methods. Team work has been one of his plans and his organization has succeeded in combining labor most effectively in the production of a harmonious whole. His history is such a one as the American citizen points to with greatest pride as typical of the opportunities of the new world. Charles Sumner once said: "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." Today the words are almost synonymous. No longer does the activity of the battlefield alone decide the issue, it is also the activity of the business men who stand back of the needs of the soldiers and of the guns, and in such connections Mr. Goss has reached a position of generalship.
CHAUNCEY PORTER GOSS, JR.
The name of Goss has been so long and prominently associated with the manufacturing interests of Waterbury that one who bears it needs no introduction to the readers of this volume. Chauncey P. Goss, Jr., following in the footsteps of his father, Chauncey P. Goss, Sr., became connected with the Scovill Manufacturing Company on starting out in the business world and through the intervening years has worked his way steadily upward until he is now superintendent of the Scovill Brass Company. He was born in Waterbury and sup- plemented his public school training by a course of study in Hobart's Military Academy at Sing Sing, New York, and in the Hotchkiss school of Lakeville, Connecticut. He entered the employ of the Scovill Manufacturing Company in 1899 and, developing his mechanical powers, he has gradually worked his way upward through all the departments of the casting shop and the rolling mills, his duties and responsibilities increasing with each promotion until he is now superintendent of the rolling and wire mills and the casting shops-a most important position and one in which his powers are proving thoroughly adequate to the tasks devolving upon him.
On the 23d of June, 1903, Mr. Goss was married to Miss Edith D. Wayne, of Armonk, New York, and they now have two sons, Chauncey P. (III) and Richard. Mr. Goss is identified with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and also has membership with the Waterbury and Waterbury Country Clubs. He is as well known socially as he is in a business way and his attractive qualities have made for popularity, so that his circle of friends is almost coextensive with the circle of his acquaintance.
GEORGE A. GOSS.
The history of the Goss family is a notable example of the value of individual effort and ambition. The sons of Chauncey P. Goss-sons of a wealthy father-have worked their way upward in connection with the business of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, winning their promotions through capability and personal merit. George A. Goss, the youngest son of the family, with thorough preliminary training has advanced step by step through the twelve years of his connection with this corporation until he is now superintendent of the manufacturing department, a position which he has held since 1911. He was born in Waterbury in 1881 and attended public and private schools of this city, after which he entered Yale, completing the academic course by graduation with the class of 1903. His identification with the Scovill Manufacturing Company dates from the spring of 1905, at which time he took his place in the machine shops. There is a marked strain of mechanical ingenuity and skill in this family, manifest at times in invention as well as in the capable performance of set tasks. He applied himself diligently to the mastery of the work in all that this involved. He not only performed the designated duty but he studied its connections and the possibilities for improvement, and his growing powers led to his continued advance- ment until at the age of thirty years he was called to the responsible position of superintendent of manufacturing, in which connection he has since continued, directing the mammoth
635
WATERBURY AND THE NAUGATUCK VALLEY
interests of this institution, which has grown by leaps and bounds. He has notable power in the mastery of details, while at the same time losing sight of no essential principle or force, and he has displayed splendid ability in coordinating the work into a unified and harmonious whole.
His study of political questions has led him to give his support to the party to which his family has long adhered and he does not lightly regard the duties of citizenship. He belongs to the Yale Club, has membership in the Waterbury and the Waterbury Country Clubs and is a loyal member and supporter of the First Congregational churchi.
