himself approaching with a bit of fruit or a glass of milk to beguile the fatigue while dinner waited to be announced. There was no need of this, for Mrs. Atwater was atten- tion itself. But he loved to lead you to your chamber to see that all was ready for the nights repose. And he never failed to tell you from which window in the morning the loveliest outlook was commanded. Rare in- deed was this gentleman's gift of household entertainment. There have been great days of refined and delicate courtesty at Rockrim- mon. Alas! that he, the prince of hosts, will utter there his word of welcome no more for-

ever. No doubt the fire will burn again on the dining-room hearth and the shadows will flame and flicker and wave on the walls. But he will not be there to show you how he saw Andrew Jackson light his pipe with a cinder from the coals of the White House, or to be- guile you with happy reminiscences of lordly spirits who had sat dreaming above the hot ashes until the small hours of a new day sounded the matin calls on the mantel. Here the preacher enumerated a list of prominent clergymen who had been entertained at Rock- rimmon. Among them were Rev. Dr. Rich- ard Salter Stoors, Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. William Adams, Rev. Dr. Andrew L. Stone, of Boston, and San Francisco, and his Boston friends, Edwin B. Webb, and Henry M. Dexter, President Magoun of Iowa Col- lege, Zachary Eddy and Gordon Hall, of Northampton, Dr. William M. Taylor, Pres- ident Julius H. Seelye of Amherst College, Professor Roswell D. Hitchcock, Lyman H. Atwater, and Rev. Dr. Brodhead, father of Mrs. Atwater, and many another illustrious divine.

In speaking of Mr. Atwater's personal characteristics, the speaker said: Mr. At- water saw clearly all around a subject, and saw it so suddenly, that speech could not keep pace with his vision. It is not strange that men misunderstood him. Sometimes they finished his incomplete sentences for him and mistook their own words for his utterances. It often happens that men who do not them- selves use figures of speech fail to understand those who use them as normal modes of ex- pression. No man could surpass Mr. At- water in that straight, direct, unhesitating and unequivocal form of speech which was his when aroused to the exigencies of thought. The sunlight was not clearer then. He rare- ly quoted. He originated. This gave his sen- tences piquancy, individuality and force. Men

thought him visionary. I, too, have thought so. And they have wondered how he could have made any successes. But he was not al- ways visionary. He had great keenness, too, and practical sagacity that stood him in good stead. If he was slow in giving his judgment, it was because he was slow in forming his judgment. How could he give his verdict un- til all the facts were in? He was a better pro- jector than he was a permanent constructor. He launched things. Others brought them to port with a cargo. No man who knew him well could say that he did not know what he wanted or that he failed in plans for secur- ing it. So far from being irresolute, his was a strong and persistent will. He saw a way- he believed in it-he was fond of having it. If he was defeated, the loss was unpleasant. Ordinarily the shortest day was a circuitous one, but there were occasions when he 'crost lots.' He was not fond of straight lines, ex- cept in morals. He told the truth or kept silent. He was visionary and he was prac- tical. His horse fair was scouted as imprac- ticable and ungodly. But for many a year and with increasing regard this institution held its way with the public. His horse rail- road was deemed a whim. But he anticipated what the public wanted. His successors have developed it into a beneficent and richly re- munerative enterprise. Mr. Atwater had long sight. His commercial abilities were of a high, searching and accomplishing order.

George M. Atwater married, October 2, 1850, Harriet Romeyn, daughter of Jacob Brodhead, D. D., and Eliza Bleeker, his wife, of Brooklyn, New York. She was born August 8, 1826. Children: I.

Mabel Bleeker, born November 28, 1856; married, December 19, 1893, Albert Weaver, of New York, and has one child, Howard Brodhead Atwater, born November 1, 1894.

He attended the public schools of his native town and prepared for college in Providence Conference Seminary and at Pierce Acad- emy, Middleborough, from 1853 to 1856. He entered Amherst College in the fall of 1856 and had a promising career as a student, but before the end of the year was obliged by ill health to relinquish his college course. He soon afterward undertook the study of law in North Easton and Boston and was ad- mitted to the Suffolk bar in October, 1864. He began to practice in the city of Boston and has continued with marked success to the present time, taking rank among the foremost lawyers of his day. He retained his home in Sharon until 1895, since then has been a resi- dent of Brookline. He and his brothers in- herited the Morse homestead near Lake Mas- sapoag, purchased by their great-grandfather, Gilead Morse, on his return from the French and Indian war in 1764, who in 1776 enlisted in the American revolution, rendered service and contributed money for the cause. It is a picturesque and historic place, alive with tender associations and memories of past gen- erations.

In politics Mr. Morse is a loyal Democrat of the old school and he has performed con- spicuous service for his party and the people. In municipal affairs he has been independent, however, and has held many offices of trust

and honor. He has been chairman of the Sharon school committee; representative of the gen- eral court in 1870-83-84, serving on important committees, being chairman of the committee on probate and chancery in 1884. For many years he was chairman of the Norfolk county Democratic committee and a member of the Democratic state central committee, of Mas- sachusetts ; a presidential elector on the Demo- cratic ticket in 1884-88; delegate to the Demo- cratic national convention at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1880; candidate of his party for congress- man in the second district against Governor John D. Long in 1886, and carried his own county by two hundred and thirty-three ma- jority, losing by only one thousand eight hun- dred and twenty-two votes. In 1890 he was again a candidate for congress when he re- ceived the highest vote ever cast for a Demo- cratic candidate for congress in this district. He has been a justice of the peace since 1864 when he was first commissioned by Governor John A. Andrew. He is keenly interested in public questions and especially in public edu- cation. When a young man he taught school for several terms and his interest in the public schools has never abated. He has been dis- tinguished for his advocacy of reform legis- lation in the interests of laboring men and of tariff, and many of his pub- lic speeches have been effectively used by his party in campaigns. He was in great demand as a campaign speaker in his younger days. In religion he is Unitarian. He is a member of Boston Art Club.

The surname Beebe is of very BEEBE ancient origin. Ancient family papers said to be in the archives of Aston Hall, Warwickshire, England, show that this family descended from two Norman Knights, Richard and William de Boebe, who were of the royal guard of William the Con- queror, and went to England at the time of the Conquest. They were granted lands in Warwickshire, where the family afterwards lived. The name has many variations of spell- ing, Beebe, Beby, Beeby, Beebee, etc. The coat-of-arms borne by the Dilley Court family of England is : Azure a chevron or, three bees of the second. Crest : A beehive or. Motto: Se Defendendo.

During the parliamentary wars, John Beebe, of county Warwick, with two sons, having ar- dently stood by the popular cause against the Stuarts, fighting under Essex and Hampden, and all through Cromwell's campaign, were

They were summoned to take the oath of allegiance before the king's governor at Warwick, but refused to recognize the right of that court. They, with others, at once emigrated to the province of York, and settled on estates with- in the royal demesne. Soon afterwards an- other branch of the family settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and held correspondence with Lord Stanley and Henry Fairfax of Durham. These letters were preserved by William Watt, Esq., lord of the manor of Aston, War- wickshire. The immigrant mentioned below is undoubtedly connected with this family.

In 1863 he erected a large mill, four stories high, with eight sets of machinery, the main building being one hundred and. ninety feet long and two hundred and three feet deep, affording space for two hundred and fifty employes. In connection with his son- in-law, Mr. Holbrook, Mr. Beebe erected the factory of the Holbrook Paper Company.
