He was one of the three " New Britain boys" who went to Stockbridge, Mass., and learned the brass business of Joseph Barton ; they were North, Booth and Shipman, North being one year older than Shipman and six months older than Booth, but Shipman being the largest of the three, and passing for the same age. Facts show that the enterprise and the plan was orig- inated by the father of James, viz., James North, Esq., for he personally applied to the father of Booth and the father of Shipman, and urged them to let the boys go together. James, the subject of this notice, and Shipman, having finished their term of service with Barton, returned, and for a while occupied together, in company, the north room of the Sugden house, which was then owned by Esq. North, and stood just a little north of the present residence of Henry Stanley, and faced west as his house does ; the lightning rod of Stanley's house enters the well of the old Sugden house; where they made the first sleigh bells ever manufactured in New Britain. This old house was, however, soon pulled down to give place to a new one for Seth, the brother of James, when each set up for himself as best he could, under the aid of their friends. Booth left for New York and New Jersey, having bought his time ; so that the town is indebted to James North, Esq., for the plan, and to James North, jun., and Joseph Shipman, as the effective agents in making this a manufacturing place. After starting brass business here, he removed to Cherry Valley, where he carried on the business extensively, and built largely, but he lost all, and returned in 1818 to his old home, poor. He was converted in 1821, set up business again here, and was an active Christian. He died Sept. 9th, 1825, aged 48. His widow, Rhoda, died July 20th, 1827, aged 45. He was unselfish, liberal and generous (if pos- sible) to a fault. Honest, credulous, and unsuspecting himself, his trade, his skill, and his property became the prey of the scheming and avaricious. It is hoped that the consolations of the Gospel, which he found so rich and sweet in his last days, compensated for the loss of all things else. He had no enemies, consequently left none behind him.
