(Frost) Sawyer. His pa- ternal grandfather was Uriah Sawyer, a native of Bolton, Mass., whose wife, in maidenhood Lydia Pollard, came from Harvard, Mass. Mr. Sawyer remembers that his grandmother used to tell about hearing the guns fired at Concord in the Revolutionary War. Uriah and Lydia Sawyer had three children, all sons; namely, Uriah, Jr., Seth, and Henry. The first of these, Uriah, Jr., settled in Piqua, Ohio, where he became a prominent business man.
In 1793 Seth Sawyer was born in Portland, Me. When a young man he became proprietor -
of a restaurant in Charlestown Square, which he conducted for over forty years, doing a large business. His success, due primarily to his own business ability, was in some measure as- sured by the fortunate location he had chosen, as in those days the farmers from all parts of the State, and also from Vermont and New Hampshire, who used to drive to Boston with their products, made Charlestown Square their general rendezvous; and the manner in which Mr. Sawyer conducted his establishment and catered to their wants both met with their ap- probation and secured their patronage. Mr. Seth Sawyer died in Charlestown some eight years after his retirement from business. His wife, Susan, who was born in Charlestown, was a daughter of William and Prudence (Blood) Frost. Her father was an English- man, who settled in Charlestown and engaged in the morocco leather trade. He was drowned in Boston Harbor, off Governor's Island, while trying to rescue others. Mr. and Mrs. Seth Sawyer were the parents of ten children, of whom six are now living - Charles W., Jeffer- son, George, Albert, Alice, and William F. Alice is the wife of Thomas C. Brown, and re- sides in Ohio. Mr. Sawyer's elder brother (deceased) was United States Consul at Suri- nam, South America, and did valiant service in the Civil War, being complimented by Presi- dent Lincoln in highest terms. George and Albert were both soldiers in the Civil War.
Charles W. Sawyer's early education was obtained in the Training Field School in Charlestown, and his elementary studies were supplemented by attendance at a private school and a course in a commercial college. In 1853 he was appointed a clerk in the Charlestown post-office, in which capacity he served for six- teen years, during most of that time acting as Assistant Postmaster. In 1869 he resigned that position, and engaged in the auction and real estate business in City Square, Charles- town, with an office also in Boston; and he has continued thus engaged up to the present time with marked success. Mr. Sawyer took up his residence in Somerville in 1873. Two years later he became a member of the Common Council, and in 1876 served on the Board of Aldermen. For two years also he was chair-

man of the Board of Health. He has continued to take an interest in the municipal affairs of Somerville, and in many ways has proved him- self to be a useful and public-spirited citizen. He is at the present time one of the trustees of the public library. Mr. Sawyer is a member of Soley Lodge, F. & A. M. ; a charter member of Signet Chapter, R. A. M. ; and was a char- ter member of Cœur de Lion Commandery, K. T., of Charlestown, of which he was also for two years Eminent Commander. He be- longs also to Soley Lodge, of Somerville; to Somerville Chapter, R. A. M. ; Orient Coun- cil, R. S. M. ; and to the Boston Real Estate Exchange. In politics he is Republican.
Mr. Sawyer was married October 31, 1856, to Julia Ann Heal, a daughter of William S. Heal, of Belmont, Me. Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer became the parents of one child, Edward Keyes. He was graduated at Harvard Medical School in the class of 1898, and is now a phy- sician and a well-known specialist in diseases of the ear. Mrs. Sawyer died September 27, 1894, at the age of sixty-one.
