Amy Huntington, born May 21, 1882; married Theodore DeLong Coffin.
(VI) George Abbott Poor, youngest son and child of Nathan and Margaret (Silver ) Poor, born in Peabody, September 5, 1822, died there January 4, 1853, aged less than thirty-one years. He married Lavina Welch, born in Shapleigh, Maine, August 12, 1820, and who, after his death, married, second, December 20, 1855, Handley C. Flint. George Abbott Poor and Lavina Welch had chil- dren, all born in Peabody: 1. Nathan H., born April 14, 1842. 2. Horace A., born January 10. 1845; soldier of war of 1861-5. serving in companies F and K, IIth Massachusetts Vol- unteer Infantry, and mustered out as sergeant ; married first, Mrs. Mary Lizzie Bennett, and second, Allace Coon, in Kansas. 3. George, born September 21, 1849, died January 30, 1852. 4. Lavina S., born August 5, 1851 ; married Herbert E. Grey, of Dedham, Massa- chusetts.
(VII) Nathan Holt Poor, eldest son and child of George Abbott and Lavina ( Welch) Poor, was born in Peabody April 14, 1842. He received his education at the old Wallis school in South Danvers ; but it was only dur- ing the winter terms that he attended school, his help being needed at the work of the farm during other seasons of the year, a duty which in his boyhood days was the lot of the eldest son in the family. Even as a boy he never was afraid of work, and went ahead with whatever was necessary to be done, and that without being told. Such boys nearly always become successful men, and Mr. Poor's rec- ord in business life shows that he is not an exception to the rule.
He began work off the farm when he was fourteen years old, pegging shoes for his step- father, Mr. Flint. Two years later, about 1858, he began an apprenticeship to the trade of morocco dressing in the leather factory of Roberts & Moore, served out his full term of three years, and then was given full charge of his employer's works, being then nineteen years old. From this it is clear that Roberts & Moore saw something in the young foreman, the work he himself was capable of doing as a practical
morocco dresser, and his industrious and steady habits, that commended him to a posi- tion in which he had supervision of the work of other men, many of whom were older than himself. About 1863 Mr. Poor accepted charge of the finishing in the factory owned by Frank Pemberton & Son, of Peabody, remained with that firm until 1870, and then took full charge of the Peabody factory of Charles H. Tigh, then considered the most modern and best appointed morocco leather factory in the county, and it may be said here that the con- cern did not lose any of its former prestige during the five years of his superintendence, but at the end of that time he had accumu- lated sufficient money, the savings of former years, with which to start in business on his own account. In 1875 Mr. Poor became junior partner of the firm of Hutchinson & Poor, and engaged in the business of manufac- turing sheepskins, continued until 1883, and then became senior member of the firm of Poor & Littlefield, his partner being Stephen S. Littlefield, of Peabody. This concern car- ried on a more extensive business in manufac- turing sheepskins than its predecessor, and it was continued with excellent results and with- out change in personnel until 1899, when Mr. Littlefield withdrew and the partnership was succeeded by the N. H. Poor Leather Com- pany, incorporated November 29, 1899, with a capital of $30,000. This company manufac- tures morocco leathers, Goodyear insoling leather, with turn and moulded grainless counters-a special product. Since its incor- poration Mr. Poor has been president and treasurer and active managing officer of the company and its large business. In 1903 a new factory building was erected and equip- ped with fans and steam for drying purposes. This equipment in the light leather manufac- ture, was an innovation, a new departure from former methods of the drying process, but it proved a progressive step and has since been followed by all similar factories in the coun- try.
From what is written in preceding para- graphs it will be seen that Mr. Poor is some- thing more than a successful business man, and it will not be considered in any sense a violation of propriety to say of him that he is "a man who does things," and he has honestly earned all that is the result of a full half century of well-directed effort since he started out as a boy and began driving shoe- pegs in his stepfather's shop. It was noticed then that he was an industrious boy and the

same quality was observed several years later when at the end of his apprenticeship he was placed in charge of his employer's factory. Then was laid the foundation of his business success, the principal elements of which are industry, capability and good business man- agement. Outside of business life he has for many years been looked upon as one of the substantial men of Peabody, although he never was ambitious of any other position than that of a good citizen and self-respecting man. For twenty-five years he was an active member of the Peabody fire department and during the last of his service in the department served on the board of engineers. In 1906 he repre- sented the towns of Peabody and Danvers in the general court, and in the house was a member of the committee on towns-this being the last year that Peabody and Danvers voted together for representative. He holds membership in the Ancient Order of United Workmen. May 13, 1863, in Peabody, Mr. Poor married Mary S. Lufkin, born in Essex, Massachusetts, daughter of Josiah and Mehit- able Lufkin. Children: 1. George Horace, born March 23. 1864, died young. 2. George Horace, born January 24, 1866. 3. Charles Flint, born May 19, 1868. 4. Mabel Coleman, born January 9, 1876. 5. Arthur K., born in Danvers, May 20, 1884.
(VII) Albert FF. Poor, son of Joseph and Eliza ( Munroe) Poor, was born in Peabody, September 6, 1846, and since early manhood has been actively identified with the industrial history of that town. He was educated in the Peabody schools, and learned the trade of tanning under his brother Warren, who then was associated in business with his father. In 1870 he purchased his father's interest in the tannery and its business, and for several years was partner with his brother Warren. He also became partner with his younger brother Joseph in a leather tannery in Salem, and con- tinued in business under the firm style of Poor Brothers for about ten years, when the partnership became an incorporated company. Seven years later this company merged in the American Hide & Leather Company, with which Mr. Poor was connected in the capacity of superintendent for some four years pre- vious to his retirement from active pursuits.
Aside from the business interests which en- gaged Mr. Poor's attention for so many years, he always has taken an active part in all meas- ures proposed for the welfare of his native town and its institutions. He is a director of the Warren National Bank of Peabody ; mem-
ber of the Exchange News Room; for more than thirty years a member of Peabody Lodge, I. O. O. F .; and member, and for six years trustee of Peabody Institute. He married, in Peabody, May 11, 1871, Sarah F. Weed, born in Sandwich, New Hampshire, January 22, 1851, died in Peabody, July 29, 1905, daugh- ter of Henry and Clarissa (Smith) Weed. Albert F. and Sarah F. (Weed ) Poor had children : 1. Clara Eliza, born December 29, 1871 ; lives with her parents. 2. Katie Weed, born April 5, 1874, died January 29, 1877. 3.

(\'11) Elmer Merton Poor, second child of Nathan Holt and Hannah Ellen ( Gove) Poor, was born in Peabody, January 11, 1866, and since the death of his father in 1898 has filled the offices of clerk and treasurer of the town of Peabody. He married, in Peabody. October 22, 1891, Margaret Searle Lord, born in Salem, daughter of Daniel B. Lord (see Lord family ). Mr. and Mrs. Poor have one son, Francis Lord Poor, born in Peabody, May 16. 1893.
LORD' The genealogical descent here traced begins with Robert Lord, of Ipswich, Massachusetts, 1635. and runs through successive generations to that of Daniel B. Lord, of Salem, Massachu- chusetts, whose daughter, Margaret Searl Lord, married Elmer Merton Poor, of Pea- body, Massachusetts.

Ile was born in England about 1602 or 1603. and married there, about 1630, Mary Waite. His life was given largely to public service and by reason of this long connection with official duties he always has been regarded as one of the prominent early public characters in colonial history. Ile was made freeman 1635-6; deputy to general court. 1637-8: member of committee to fix county, town and farm lines, 1637-8: clerk of court at Ipswich, 1648; recorder, 1649; sealer of weights and measures, Ipswich, 1649; clerk of court in Salem, 1658; impowered to issue executions, 1652; searcher of coin, 1654: marshal or sheriff of Ipswich court,
