His first indus- trial employment was that of grocery clerk, which led later to his establishing himself in business as a grocer in St. John, where he remained until 1864. In that year he came to the United States, and resided for a short time in Boston. Enlisting in the army, he was assigned to the Quartermaster's department, and served under General Thomas in Tennes- see. In July, 1865, he settled in Stoneham, Mass., and for nine years subsequently worked in the finishing departments of various shoe factories in that town. In 1874 he formed a partnership with Herbert Copeland and Robert Bowser (his brother), under the firm name of Copeland, Bowser & Co., with stores at Stone- ham, Reading, and Woburn. This copartner- ship continued until 1890, when Robert Bow- ser died.

HARLES WILLIAM SABIN, of Brookline, Mass., is well known in the business circles of Boston. He was born in Woodstock, Vt., Sep- tember 29, 1835, a son of Elisha L. Sabin and a descendant in the eighth generation from William Sabin, the first of the name to settle in New England.

Nothing authentic is known of William' Sabin, the immigrant ancestor, prior to 1643, when he is mentioned as an inhabitant of Re- hoboth. Previous to that date he may have lived a few years in Plymouth. Tradition says that he was a Huguenot refugee, fleeing from France to Wales, thence to America. He was prominent in Rehoboth, taking an active part in church and school affairs. His first wife, whose name is unknown, d. soon after 1660, and on December 22, 1663, he m. Martha Allen, of Medfield. He d. February 9, 1687. His will, which was probated during the administration of Governor Andros, is still on file, in it being mentioned the names of six- teen of the twenty children borne him by his two wives. Benjamin2 Sabin, b. May 3, 1646, lived in Rehoboth until 1675, when he re- moved to Roxbury. He subsequently became

G EORGE FRANCIS DRAPER PAINE, president since 1894 of the Paine Furniture Company, of Boston, began business life in that city, a young man nineteen years of age, as a clerk in the employ of Shearer & Paine, furniture deal- ers. He was born in Uxbridge, Mass., August 30, 1837, being the youngest of the eight chil- dren of David Draper and Jemima (French) Paine.

The first progenitor of the Paine family in America was Stephen Paine, Sr., who in 1638, accompanied by his wife and three children and four servants, came to New England on the ship "Diligent," which vessel also carried a large company of emigrants from the neighbor- hood of Hingham, England. He, however, was from Great Ellingham, Norfolk County, where he had followed the occupation of miller.

He settled first in Hingham, Mass., but about 1643 removed to Rehoboth, of which town he was one of the founders and first proprietors. He possessed large estates in that and adjoin- ing towns, and was prominent in the affairs of the church and colony. He was Representa- tive to the General Court for many successive years until his death, which took place in August, 1679. His wife, "Nellie," d. at Rehoboth, January 20, 1660; and he subse- quently m. Alice, widow of William Parker, of Taunton. She d. December 5, 1682. His will and the inventory of his estate are on file in the State House at Boston.

Stephen Paine, Jr., eldest son of the Ste- phen above mentioned, was b. in England about 1629, and accompanied his parents to this country. He was admitted as freeman in 1657. He served against the Indians in King Philip's War, to the cost of which he also contributed liberally of his private means. He owned much land in Rehoboth, Swanzey, Attleboro, and other towns. His death oc- curred in Rehoboth in 1679, a few months before that of his father. He m. Ann Chick- ering, daughter of Francis Chickering, of Dedham, and they had five sons and four daughters.

Samuel Paine, b. at Rehoboth, May 12, 1662, removed about 1703 to Woodstock, Conn., of which town he was one of the origi- nal settlers. He served with credit in various offices, and d. May II, 1735. He was twice m. --- first, on December 16, 1685, to Ann Peck, of Rehoboth. His second wife was Abigail Frissell, of Woodstock, Conn. Of the first union there were eight children, and of the second two, of whom the younger was Eben- ezer, next in line of descent.
