(II) Hannah, daughter of George and Mary (Hclmes) Norton, married, about 1765, John Ireland (see Ireland, V), "and brought into the Ireland family a physical activity, a mental vigor, and a nervous excitability probably not therctoforc belonging to it. With the caution and prudence of the Irelands, commingled with her own characteristics, her sons, William, George and Joseph, left orphans at an carly age, and apparently without heritage of a dollar, by their own industry, enterprise and perseverance, all became successful business men, and attaincd independence if not wealth, and her daughters and their descendants have displaycd intellectual ability far above the average."

Benjamin Munn, immigrant an- MUNN cestor, was a resident of Hart- ford, Connecticut, in 1639, and was a soldier in the Pequot war in 1637. He removed to Springfield, Massachusetts, where he was living in 1649, and was a "proprietor" in 1651. In 1663 he was fined ten shillings "for taking tobacco on his hay cock." In 1665, "being very aged and weak," he was exempted from military service. He was probably killed by the Indians in November, 1675.

On an Indian attack, Richards's young- est daughter was captured and the rest of the family escaped, and his house was burned. Munn's house was so covered with snow that it cscaped notice, and he, with his wife and baby, remained undisturbed. He was a soldier in the French war, and served as selectman. Late in life he removed to Northfield, where he died February 5, 1774, aged ninety-one. He married, January 15, 1702-3, Thankful Nims, who died July II, 1746, daughter of Godfrey Nims. Children: I.

He learned the trade of machinist, and during most of his active life has been mechanical superintendent. At the time of the civil war he was superintendent of a government gun factory at Stonington, Connecticut, and his services there were deemed so important by the government that he was not allowed to resign, as he wished, to enter the army.

She was descended from John Upham, who settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in 1635, and his son, Lieutenant Phineas Upham, who died of wounds received in King Philip's war. Her grandfather, Captain George Lindsey, kept a hotel at Newburyport, Massachusetts, and is said to have entertained fifty sea cap- tains at his table.

ing in the fall of 1884, class of '88. He re- mained for one year and returned to East- hampton, re-entering the employment of the Nashawannuck Manufacturing Company. In 1889, in company with John Leitch, Jr., he bought the plant of the Easthampton News Company and became its editor. Mr. Leitch withdrew later. Mr. Munn made a paper of force and usefulness, and he himself became a useful and influential citizen of the town. He sold the paper in 1900, remaining as its editor until 1906, since which time he has been engaged in the general advertising agency business in Springfield, and is now president of the Munn-Nichols Company, a Massachu- setts corporation. He resides in Easthampton.

As a descendant of a soldier in the battle at Turners Falls, he was chosen as poet at the unveiling of the monument to Captain Turner at Nash's Mills in Greenfield. He is a mem- ber of Tonic Lodge of Free Masons. In poli- tics he is a Republican, in religion a member of the Payson Congregational church.

He married, in 1887, Susie B. Bosworth, daughter of Edwin Ruthven and Hannah ( Barron) Bosworth. Her mother was a native of Lyndonville, Vermont, her father of South Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Children, born at Easthampton: Edwin Bosworth, 1888; Leslie Searle, 1891.

COOPER Peter Cooper, immigrant ances- tor, came to New England in 1635, in the ship "Susan and Ellen." He was then twenty-eight years old.

(VI) Pliny, son of Henry Cooper, was born in Ashburnham, in 1806. He removed to Norton, Massachusetts, and later to Wrent- ham. Attleborough and Canton. In his early days he was a night watchman in Taunton. He learned the trade of dyeing carpet yarns, and a large part of his later life was spent in manufacturing warp yarns for cotton goods and running carding rooms in cotton mills. He was a Democrat in politics. He married Nancy Barton, born 1808, in Wrentham. Chil- dren: 1. Henry Francis, born March 24, 1832; married Adelaide, daughter of Jesse and Almira Davenport. 2.

(VII) George Artemas, son of Pliny Cooper, was born in Wrentham, February 23, 1838, and was educated in the public schools of Attleborough and Canton, Massachusetts. He went to the latter place in 1847, and was em- ployed in a factory manufacturing whip cord and harness twine. He removed to Medway in July, 1859, and commenced making bonnet wire, and to Stoughton in 1865. Since then he has been engaged in manufacturing the cover- ed wire used in manufacturing women's hats and bonnets, and has built up a large and flour- ishing business. He went into partnership in July, 1865, with Consider Southworth, of Stoughton, as the firm of Cooper & South- worth, and January 1, 1875, bought out his partner's interests, and has since conducted the business alone. He is one of the most enter- prising and successful manufacturers of the town. He is a typical self-made man, starting with no advantages of wealth and with limited schooling, using his savings as a journeyman to start in business on his own account, win- ning his way step by step in the face of dis- couragements and difficulties, maintaining a high credit and commanding the confidence of the business world. He has the respect and esteem not only of his business associates but of his employees. His straightforward

methods, old-fashioned principles of honor and sterling character have counted much for success in his long and honorable business career. He is a Republican in politics, and recognized as a man of much public spirit and influence, but has no taste for public office and is essentially domestic in his habits of life He is largely self-educated, is fond of read- ing, and has been a life-long student. He is a member of Benefit Lodge, No. 198, New England Order of Protection, being a charter member, was elected its first treasurer, and has held that office since the date of its institution, July 1, 1892. He is a prominent member of the Universalist church of Stoughton. He married, May 19, 1861, Eliza Fisher Stevens, born 1841, died in 1900, in Stoughton, daugh- ter of Peletiah and Myra W. (Wales) Stevens. Her father was a boot maker and inventor. Her mother was twin sister of Martin Wales, a prominent shoe manufacturer of Stoughton. They had children: Almira, Adonira, Martin W., Eliza F. (mentioned above), Bradford, Ann, Jane, Abbie, Mary A., Frank A. and Ellen R. Stevens. Children of George A. Cooper: 1.

Bradley D. Rising, son of Zenas RISING and Roxy (Doane) Rising, was born at Hague, near Ticon- deroga, New York, September 13, 1841, of native American stock. Losing father and mother at an early age, he lived with an older sister in a home where there was little money, but much kindliness, affection, and desire for the better things of life. Here he worked the farm summers and went to school winters, until old enough to teach, an employment in which he spent some two years, gaining some knowledge of books and more experience with human nature. At the age of twenty-one he started out alone with scarce a weeks ex- penses in his pocket to make his fortune.

On reaching the little Springfield of that day, scarcely more than a large village, Mr. Rising secured employment in the book-bind- ing department of Samuel Bowles & Com- pany, publishers of the Springfield Republican. He lived with his work. Such was his energy

790

MASSACHUSETTS.

and adaptability that it was not long before he had charge of the room he had entered as workman. His success led to an opening in the line of manufacturing, so that in 1868 he entered his career of paper-making as book- keeper and salesman of the Southworth Com- pany, Mittineague, Massachusetts. So well did he fill his position, selling such quantities of paper and so pleasing the trade, that three years later, when he was about thirty, John H. Southworth took him to the Hampshire Paper Company, South Hadley Falls, Massa- chusetts, where he was first salesman and later treasurer and manager. After some seven years here he went as treasurer and manager to the Agawam Paper Company, Mittineague, Massachusetts, January Ist, 1878, a position in which he developed the company from half a ton to twelve tons daily capacity, re-created the physical plant and enriched the stock- holders by the large dividends earned. For more than twenty years he continued at the head of this company, until merged into the American Writing Paper Company, in 1899. Then in the ripeness of his experience, spar- ing no expense, he equipped what is perhaps the most perfect fine writing plant in the country, the B. D. Rising Paper Company, of Housatonic, Massachusetts. For a number of years, Mr. Rising was a director in the Chico- pee National Bank, of Springfield, Massachu- setts. Along with A. W. Eaton and Ralph D. Gillett he had a large part in the promotion and building of the Berkshire street railway, in which he was vice-president. Together with his nephew. H. A. Moses, in 1891, Mr. Rising founded the Mittineague Paper Com- pany, of Mittineague, Massachusetts, of which he was president.

In politics Mr. Rising was a Republican. Save when it fell short of his standards, he always supported the party loyally, although he never sought nor held office. He was a member of the Nayassett Club and the Masonic fraternity. For seven years prior to his death he was a trustee of Wilbraham Academy, where he was of large assistance in the management and finances, as chairman of the finance committee. For thirty years Mr. Rising was identified with Trinity Church, of Springfield. A good portion of the time he was steward and member of the official board. For ten years he was superintendent of the Sunday school. Following this period he and Mrs. Rising "graduated," as he used to say, to be superintendents of the primary depart- ment, where he found great delight in the

children. The Mittineague Methodist Church, Wesley Methodist Church, Springfield, and a host of Young Men's Christian associations, libraries and other churches bear witness to his benefactions. To the church at 'Pine Orchard, his summer home, he gave largely. Assisted only by his nephew, H. A. Moses, he built a church for his native town, Ticon- deroga, New York. When the Swedish Meth- odist church on Bay street was built, Mr. Ris- ing, as treasurer of the building committee, saw the church dedicated free from debt. On the morning of August 1, 1901, it looked as if a large amount pledged conditionally to build St. James Church, on North Main street, Springfield, would be forfeited because of failure to raise the full sum specified on the day in question. Mr. Rising was heartily interested in the church and determined that these plans should not fail. He devoted his influence and powers of persuasion to such good purpose that before nightfall the amount was made up and the project assured.

In 1870 Mr. Rising was married to Henri- etta L. Reynolds, born in Alburgh Springs, Vermont, February 7, 1842, daughter of Elisha and Lydia Boyington (Norton) Reynolds, of Alburgh Springs. Of five children, one, Flor- ence, died young. Four survive: I. Rachael Emily, born August 21, 1882 ; graduated from Smith College in the class of 1904; married Harold H. Woods, of Springfield, October 31, 1906. 2. Edith Olive, born January 21, 1883; is a graduate of MacDuffie's School, Spring- field. 3. Richard B., born March 27, 1885; graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts at Williams College, class of 1908; has taken post-graduate work at Williams College and Yale Sheffield Scientific School, and is now connected with the B. D. Rising Paper Company. 4. Robert M., born March 27, 1887 ; is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Acad- emy, an'l a student in Scientific Department of Cornell College.

Mr. Rising died suddenly at his summer home. Pine Orchard, Connecticut, as the re- sult of a shock, August 17, 1903. His funeral was from his residence, 298 Union street, Springfield, and burial in Oak Grove Cemetery, August 20, 1903.

In physical appearance-six feet tall, erect, soldierly, with gray hair, and mustache-Mr. Rising possessed a commanding presence. He had a firm chin, clear-cut nose, and eyes that could be piercing one moment and full of laughter or solicitude the next. In personal character Mr. Rising was an optimist. He

791

believed in himself and the world. A favorite remark of his was that "A man can make a success of any business." Mr. Rising had a strong sense of humor, liked a good story, and could tell one. His conversation and interests were versatile. While a keen judge of men, he was a delightful companion and made warm friends. Remembering the road by which he had climbed, Mr. Rising took pleasure in putting young men in the path of opportunity. Half a score of business men now prominent, thank him for their start. Speaking of his liberality and freehandedness, a close friend of many years said, "I don't know that I ever saw a solicitor for a good cause go away without help." It was a fact that he continued in business years after he might have retired because he wished to give his salary to charitable purposes.

Mr. Rising was fond of books and read widely. While not trained technically in the literature of the schools, he grasped the prin- ciples broadly as he grasped everything with which he came in contact. He read with a keen insight into human life, character and destiny. In matters of art he had a fine appre- ciation, as was demonstrated by the selection of modern paintings in his own home. With Mrs. Rising, who is of artistic tastes and train- ing, he spent several months in 1895 examin- ing the galleries and works of art of England, France, Germany and Italy.

Mr. Rising was a man of great self-reliance and perseverance, never having had any one to whom he could look for any practical assist- ance, in helping him on. Could he have had such assistance it would no doubt have been agreeable to him in earlier years. He came, however, not to need it. He was masterful, in the best sense of the word, to insist on his own plans, not overbearing others but rather, having carefully thought out the best plan, he was able to win others to its reasonableness. He was a man of great resource, not dependent on any single course of action. If a plan proved inadequate, other plans he could and did originate which brought success. This re- sourcefulness perhaps more than any other one quality helped him to achieve his conceded place as a captain of industry in his own state.

COWLES John Cole, or Cowles, was an early settler of New England, and among the first to settle at Hartford, Connecticut. Not long after 1640 he located at Farmington, Connecticut, and in 1652 was one of the number to organize the

church there. He bought land on the corner at the north end of Farmington village, known afterwards as the Dr. Thompson and Bodwell places; selling this property, he bought three lots just south of the present meeting house, and built a house. He changed his name from Cole to Cowles, in order to distinguish, him from another man of the same name living in the same place. From that time the descend- ants of the eldest son, Samuel, have spelled the name Cowles, and those of the youngest son, John, have until the beginning of the nineteenth century spelled the name Cowls. He was a farmer. He was a deputy to the general court from Farmington in 1653-4. In 1662 he removed to that part of Hadley, Mass- achusetts, now Hatfield, and died there in 1675. He married Hannah. , who after his death lived with her son-in-law, Caleb Stanley, of Hartford, where she died March 6, 1683, aged about seventy. Children : I. Samuel, born 1639; mentioned below. 2. John, 1641. 3. Hannah, 1644; married Caleb Stan- ley, of Hartford; died February 4, 1689. 4. Sarah, 1646; married, 1664, Nathaniel Good- win ; died May 8, 1676. 5.
