Mr. Wilbur taught school for a time in the east and was afterward engaged as a traveling salesman and a Wall street broker. Since 1887 he has been a life insurance broker, manager and actuary in Chicago. In addition to his insurance business, now centered in the Federal Life Insurance Company, Mr. Wilbur has a variety of interests, being secretary and director of the Union Securities Company, ex-president of the United Gold and Copper Company, and a stockholder and di- rector in the Omega Mining Company of California.
On August 29, 1900, Mr. Wilbur was united in marriage with Miss Mae Allen Rainburg, the ceremony occurring at her home in Holland, Michigan. In politics, Mr. Wilbur is a life long Republican, and is identified with the Hamilton Club and the Ilinois Athletic Club, and has been a member of the Art Institute for a number of years. While in the city he resides at No. 604 Forty-sixth street, and has a summer home at Saugatuck, Michigan.
Life insurance in America may be said to have originated in New England, and while in later years it has been by no means confined to that section, it is an interesting fact that many of
EDWARD H. ELWELL. the brightest and most competent underwriters in the entire field come from the northeastern states, where they began their experience as solicitors. One of the conspicu- ous examples in Chicago is Edward Harmon Elwell, manager of the Northwestern Branch of the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany. Though he has been a member of Chicago insurance circles for the past twenty-three years and has been in the west for thirty- five, he got his first experience in his native state of Maine. His entrance into the business was the result of one of those odd turns of fortune that have proved of epochal importance in the lives of so many men. How he took advantage of the particular tide in affairs which has brought him success happened in this way: Being espe- cially ambitious for a college education, he taught school for a couple of years as a means of defraying expenses. He later attended Brown's Commercial College at Portland, Maine, but before the con- clusion of the term, however, the school was burned, and instead of finishing his commercial education he accepted a place then offered him to become an insurance solicitor in the state of Maine. The accident has always been regarded by Mr. Elwell as a fortunate one from his own standpoint. for soon after entering the life insurance
I 308
CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY
field in 1867 he proved his admirable adaptability to the work, and for forty years has been one of the most successful men in the busi- ness. He was promoted to the position of general agent and, moving to Detroit, Michigan, in 1872, became prominently identified with the western business.
While conducting his business here, he also devoted much time during three years to the reading of law, which training he has since found to be of inestimable benefit to himself and the company which he represents. In 1882 Mr. Elwell accepted a position with the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Company of Detroit, and his broad experience, superior training, and strong natural qualifications made him invaluable both as a business developer and a confidential adviser of the management. In 1884 he was appointed manager of the company's northwestern department, with headquarters in Chicago, and has succeeded in building up the business to splendid propor- tions. He has also become a stockholder and a director in the com- pany, so that he wields both an active and a wide influence in general insurance circles. Experience, progressiveness, tact and straightfor- wardness have formed the basis of his personal advancement and success, and these are the qualities most needed for the general progress of life insurance.
Mr. Elwell is of staunch Puritan ancestry, the identification of his family with American history being clearly traced to the year 1635. For generations several branches of the family have been fixtures in the good old Pine Tree state, the homestead at Buxton, Maine, com- ing into possession of the grandfather of Edward H. about a century ago. Here was born his father, and it was the birthplace of Mr. Elwell himself on the 9th of November, 1845. He enjoyed a public school education and a healthful farm discipline, and, as mentioned above, showed an ambition to improve his capabilities to the utmost. His earnest desire to fit himself for college at a neighboring acad- emy, in addition to the practical calls upon his time and strength looking toward self-support, finally preyed upon his health to such an extent that he was obliged to relinquish his studies altogether. When partially recovered he began teaching school, and soon after occurred the experience which has already been related, as a result of which he entered the insurance business. In his social relations Mr. Elwell evinces the same attractive traits which mark his inter-
I309
CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY
course with his business associates. He is a member of the Union League, the South Shore Country Club and the Hamilton Club. His ancestral history has made him eligible to the Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of the Revolution, of which societies he has long been a member. A Mason for nearly forty years, since he joined Moderation Lodge No. 115, A. F. & A. M., at Buxton, in 1869, he has since passed to the York Chapter No. 148, R. A. M., of Chi- cago, in 1889, within the same year became a Sir Knight in Montjoie Commandery No. 53, gaining an entry to Medinah Temple of the Mystic Shrine in 1886, and has attained almost the maximum honors of the craft in the thirty-second degree of Scottish Rite, becoming thereby a Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret in Oriental Consistory of the Valley of Chicago. In politics he is a Republican and in relig- ion a member of the Presbyterian church.
Mr. Elwell married, February 1, 1882, at Portland, Maine, Miss Nettie L. Tuttle, of Durham, Maine. Mrs. Elwell is likewise of Puritan stock, her genealogy dating back to 1636. Of their two children, Russell T., who is now a student at the University of Chi- cago. graduated from Culver Military Academy in June, 1906, as lieutenant, and at the summer school ranked as senior captain. Miss Grace E., the daughter, expects to enter Wellesley College in October, 1908.
Charles Hart Barry, western manager of the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Company, is an Illinois man, born in Alton, on the 15th
CHARLES H. of November. 1857, being the son of Amasa S. and
BARRY. Catherine R. Barry. In 1877 he graduated from the University of Illinois, and immediately entered the insurance field at his home town. Coming to Chicago in 1879. he became identified with the Niagara Fire Insurance Company, and in 1881-84 acted as special agent for the Phoenix Insurance Com- pany of London, representing Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. He next joined the Insurance Company of North America and the Pennsylvania Fire, being their state agent and adjuster for southern Illinois and Michigan. From 1890 to 1894 he acted as associate man- ager of these two companies, and was also a member of the firm of J. F. Downing & Co., but since the latter year, when the Pennsyl- vania Fire Insurance Company established a separate western of-
1310
CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY
fice, he has devoted his entire attention to his managerial duties in connection therewith.
In general insurance circles Mr. Barry is widely known and high- ly esteemed. He has long been an active member of the Chicago Board of Underwriters; is likewise identified with the National Fire Protective Association, and has been a leader in the co-operative work of the Northwestern Underwriters' Association for the past twenty years. He is president of the Railway Underwriters' Asso- ciation and director in the Underwriters' Laboratory.
In 1884 Mr. Barry was married to Miss Ida M. Bateman, at Alton, Illinois, and they have one child, Lucile. Mr. Barry is a member of the Union League, Evanston, Evanston Country and Glen View clubs, his family residence being at No. 1225 Forest avenue, Evanston.
Walter Webb Dudley, long prominent in the insurance circles of the northwest, is a native of Guilford, Connecticut, son of William
WALTER WV. L. and Phoebe A. (Ives) Dudley. His parents re-
moved to Wisconsin in his childhood, and he re-
DUDLEY. ceived his education in the public schools of that state.
Mr. Dudley began his career in the insurance business as a local agent at La Crosse, Wisconsin, in 1867, and later became special agent for the St. Paul Fire Insurance Company and for the German-Ameri- can Insurance Company, with headquarters at the state capital. After being thus employed for two years he removed to North Dakota, lo- cating at Jamestown, where he engaged in the banking and real es- tate business. In association with E. P. Wells he organized the James River National Bank, which is still in operation.
Upon coming to Chicago Mr. Dudley was appointed assistant manager of the western department of the North British and Mer- cantile Insurance Company, and upon the death of the superintend- ent he assumed the management of affairs. He retained the superin- tendency until 1890, when he was appointed United States manager of the Manchester Insurance Company, of Manchester, England, and was thus engaged for a period of seven years. In March, 1897. he became secretary of the governing committee of the Western Union Insurance Company of Chicago, which position he still retains.
In 1880 Mr. Dudley married Miss Mary E. Beecher, daughter of

Samuel Beecher, a prominent retired business man of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. One child was born to their union, Grace Margaret Dudley. The family home is at No. 4427 Lake avenue. Mr. Dud- ley represents an old and prominent family of the eastern states, and enjoys membership in the local New England Society and the Sons of the American Revolution. He is also popular in social organiza- tions, being identified with both the Union League and Kenwood clubs. Mrs. Dudley has long been an active member of the Ken- wood Evangelical church, and is generally esteemed for her useful life and high character.
