thoroughly done. Her large Indian pudding was on the table precisely at noon and her Conel shell blown in proper season. Her large brass kettle was over the fire for brewing beer every Tuesday morning. Her family, always large, required her constant exertions, and her energy and foresight were always equal to the emergency. Ever kind and attentive to her children, their heads must be combed when she could best attend to it, and it they were cross and restive. she would box their ears-and if that failed, she would promise them bread and butter-and at any rate, when undertaken, it must be done and thoroughly done. She was a great lover of pence, and took no part in neighborhood gnarrels, or tex-table slanders. She was ever attentive to the duties of religion, and in the latter half of her life gave evidence of sincere and fervent piety. She survived her husband twenty years.
Doctor SAMUEL ROCKWELL. the ohlest son, lived at home and worked on the farm until the age of seventeen, when in the year 1776 he was six or eight months in the army at New London. In the following year, his health becoming impaired, he commenced the preparatory studies for college-studying in summer and keeping school in winter. In 1779 he entered Yale College, and at the end of one term took a dismission, and pursued for the usual time the study of med - ieine with Dr. Lemnel Hopkins. then of Litchfield, after which he traveled for some time to find a place, and finally settled in 1784 as a practitioner in Sharon, in this State. Ile soon obtained a handsome run of practice, and in 1788 married Miss Eunice Canfield, daughter of John Can- field of that place, who died of a consumption in 1795. Soon after this bereavement, he removed to Salisbury, and after two or three years, married Mrs. Hannah Reed and returned to Sharon, where the remainder of his days were spent. Ile was signally happy in both bis marriages. His second wife died in 1833. Ile was an honest and skillful physician, a firm and efficient friend and supporter of religions institutions, an intelligent and consistent Christian professor-a nse- ful and influential member of the community.
He sustained the office of justice of the pence for several years. and occasionally represented the town in the Legislature. He died on the 24th of June, 1836. A long and consistent profession, and a faithful. conscientious, and persevering adherence to Christian principles, and discharge of Christian duties, were rewarded with the comforts of faith and hope in his last sickness, and at the near approach of death. He was born February 18, 1759, and died June 24, 1836, aged 77 years, 4 months and 6 days.
TIMOTHY ROCKWELL. the second son, huving in early life manifested an nousnal capacity for business, was, by common consent of the father and younger brothers. considered the principal manager of their extensive business concerns, a post which his foresight, enterprise and business tact, well qualified him to fill. He had a strong propensity for reading, and improved all the means to which he had access, in the acquisition of knowledge. He wrote some scraps of poetry, which afforded decisive indications of genius. Ile was ever kind and affectionate to his parents, and a faithful teacher of his younger brothers, in those rudiments of education, which the cir- camstances of a new settlement rendered difficult of attainment. As head of the firm of Samuel Rockwell & Sons, he so conducted the business, as to retain the confidence and affection of his brothers, and to exclude those jealousies and nneasy feelings which so frequently take place when a partnership is composed of several members of the same family, all of whom are of an age to transaet hnsiness.
In the autumn of 1793, he married Mary, daughter of Col. Charles Burrall of Canaan, and made preparation for building a honse the next season. In the summer of 1794, his healthi became impaired,-an unusual languor affected him. His reason became in a measure prostrated ahont two weeks before his death. and his disorder advanced rapidly to a fatal termination. He died on the 7th day of Angnst, 1794, in the 33d year of bis age. Ilis disorder was dropsy in the brain.
After the death of TIMOTHY ROCKWELL and his father, tho business of the family was carried forward under the name of Solomon Rock well & Brothers .- the partners being SOLOMON, REUBEN, ALPHA and MARTIN,-until 1810, when REUBEN withdrew with his share of the property, hy mutual agreement. The remaining brothers continned the business, principally at Winsted-to which place SOLOMON and ALPHA had removed-until the death of ALPHA in 1818, after which, under the firm of S. & M. Rockwell. the business was continued until 1827, when MARTIN with- drew from the concern, leaving the business in the hands of SOLOMON.
SOLOMON ROCKWELL, removed from Colebrook to Winsted in 1798 or 1799, where he resided during the rest of his life. He was married to Sarah, danghter of Dea. Robert MeEwen of Winches- ter, in 1800. As a business man he possessed an uncommon share of energy and perseverance, and a good degree of prodenee and sound discretion. He successfully accomplished most of his business projects ; and although in his early career, some of his business enterprises were attended with disasters which would have discouraged and crushed any ordinary man-his motto was. never to be disheartened, but if one project failed, to try another. Experience taught him prudence, without in any degree diminishing his energetic and sanguine temperament. He was a man of integrity, constitutionally, and from principle; and it is believed that few, if any, can be found, among those having hnsiness transactions with him, during his long career, who were ever dissatisfied or felt themselves wronged. He was liberal and generous without a narrow or contracted streak in his character. He practiced hospitality without stint and without grudging. His unvaried cheerfulness, his genial humor, and exhaustless fond of anecdote, made him the favorite of old and young, wise and simple. Hle was a true gentleman of the old school.
He was forward in devising and liberally aiding, objects of publie improvement and henevo-

lence. Ilis donations for the support of the poor of the church of which he was a member-for the endowment of the Western Reserve College and other literary institutions, aud to the Amer- ican Board, amounted to no inconsiderable sums.
In May, 1835, while present at a fire which was consuming one of his factories, he was visited with au attack of paralysis which rendered him for some time, helpless and speechless. De slowly and partially recovered the use of his faculties, so as to ride his horse and attend to his farming business, until in May. 1838, he was prostrated by another paralytic shock, followed, in five or six weeks, by a third, which so impaired his bodily aud mental faculties, that death was n messenger of mercy, rather than of judgment. He ilied on the first day of August. 1838, aged 74 years, 6 months and 10 days. His wife finished her course March 15, 1837, aged 62, with tho blessings of the poor upon her.
Deacon REUBEN ROCKWELL Was born at East Windsor, October 1, 1765, and was carried, in his mother's arnis, on horseback, to Colebrook in February, 1767. He was the son who remained in the old homestead ; and his whole life and character was in beautiful keeping with the firm foundations, unvarnished plainness, and substantial comforts of the good old dwelling.
With scarcely any opportunities of education, and constantly engaged in the hard labor inci- dent to the first settlement of a rough New England town, his strong, far-reaching mind was not satisfied withont improvement; and by judicious reading and hard thinking, he acquired an amount and variety of knowledge, which enabled him, honorably and usefully. to discharge, not only the ordinary duties of life, but all public trusts and responsibilities which were com- mitted to him.
With a large amount of information, constantly increasing, combined with a ready wit, and cheerfulness that seldom failed, and a kindness shown in aclions, rather than words, he was eminently useful and dearly beloved in his own family. Ilis sincere piety aud plainness of speech, might sometimes seem unmindful of the feelings of others, yet he meant it not so, and was as ready to commend the right, as to reprove the wrong. Ile shunned no responsibility, aud where principle was at stake. was fearless in the expression of his opinions. His habit of commenting on what he read or heard, gave him the pen of a ready writer.
In 1799, under the ministry of Doctor Edwards, a marked chango came over his religious views and feelings. His piety became, like himself, earnest, sincere and practical.
After enjoying uninterrupted health for more than seventy-four years. he was prostrated by liscase, and made familiar with pain. In full possession of his mental faculties, with calmness and resignation, he set his house in order, and was " gathered as a shock of corn, fully ripe in its season." It was a pleasant Sabbath morning in June, 1840. that his spirit left its earthly dwelling, and went up, as we fully believe, to keep an eternal sabbath of rest in Heaven.
Ilis companion, Rebecca, daughter of Col. Bezaleel Beebe of Litchfield, was permitted to smooth his dying pillow, and still lingers on this side of time.
Deacon ALPHA ROCKWELL, the first child born in Colebrook, received a baptismal name which commemorates this circumstance. He was born Sept. 21. 1776, and was a feeble child. A severe attack of whooping cough, at the age of about eleven years, seriously affected his lungs during the remainder of his life. Though generally able to do business, and at times, to endure con- siderable toil, the affection of his luugs at length terminated in consumption, which carried him off on the 31st of May, 1818, at the age of fifty-one. His companion, Khoda, daughter of John Kusign of Salisbury, a pious, efficient and faithful wife and mother, died a few days after the birth of their youngest daughter, in February, 1817.
He was well qualified for business-A good accountant-of a mild and obliging temper; remarkably kind and attentive to his family and connections. But the chief excellence of his character was, his eminent piety.
