On February 22, 1871, General Davidson married Helen Frye, who was born in Lowell, Mass., August 27, 1852, a daughter of Fred- erick and Caroline Amelia Frye. Her mother was a native of Meredith, N. H. The Gen- eral's only child, Frederick Albert Davidson, born June 22, 1872, died February 23, 1874. Mrs. Davidson is a descendant of Theophilus Frye, b. in Andover, October, 12, 1753.

ON. WILLIAM SHEPHERD, now (1902) serving his fourth term as Mayor of Lynn, Mass., is a native of Strabane, county Tyrone, Ire- land, and descendant of a long line of landed proprietors of the province of Ulster. He was born September 17, 1838, son of Thomas and Mary (Boyle) Shepherd, and the fifth in a family of six children. He had a sister Mar- garet and four brothers - Thomas, Jr., John, Robert, and Allen Glass, the last named being the only one of the family beside him- self now living.

The father having died a few years after the birth of the youngest child, the widowed mother in 1847 - the year of the famine in Ireland - came with her children to this coun- try. She d. in Boston in 1849, when Will- iam was but eleven years of age. Allen G. Shepherd was an officer of the Thirty-third Massachusetts Volunteers, which did gallant service in many hard-fought battles of the Civil War. Mustered as Sergeant of Com- pany K, August 8, 1862, he was made Second Lieutenant May 12, 1863; First Lieutenant, October 10, 1863 ; Brevet Captain, Major, and Lieutenant-Colonel of United States Volun teers, March 13, 1865; mustered out January II, 1865. At the battle of Wauhatchie, Tenn., October 28, 1863, "in the final charge, while the regiment was staggering under the terrible fire after it reached the crest, a young Second Lieutenant, A. G. Shepherd, of Lynn, ad- vanced before his company, waved his sword, and cried, 'Forward, men!' and the men, stim- ulated by his example, rushed triumphantly into the rifle pits." (Headley's "Massachu-

setts in the Rebellion.") Since the war Colonel Shepherd has spent much time in Virginia. He now resides in Lynn. Ap- pointed City Marshal in 1867, he held that position five years. He was for two years Aide- de-camp on the staff of Governor Ames. For five years - from 1873 to 1878 - he was Sup- erintendent of the State Reform School at Westboro, Mass. He m. Maria J. Marching- ton, of Philadelphia, daughter of Philip March- ington. Her ancestors on the paternal side were Philadelphia loyalists who emigrated to Nova Scotia at the close of the Revolutionary War. She was b. in Halifax, N. S., and after her father's death she came to Boston with her mother.

William Shepherd was educated in the Bos- ton public schools. Removing to Lynn in 1857, he turned his attention to shoe manu- facturing, and in 1866 he was in business as one of the firm of Murphy & Shepherd, on Broad Street. Enterprising and progressive, Mr. Shepherd was one of the pioneers in introducing machinery into the shoe factories of Lynn, thus revolutionizing the industry. He continued in the shoe business till 1893, when he retired. Mr. Shepherd was a mem- ber of Lynn City Council from Ward Three. In 1895 and 1896 Mr. Shepherd was one of the Representatives from Lynn to the General Court. He served on the Committee on Pub- lic Charitable Institutions, and took an active part in legislative work. In December, 1898, he was elected on the Republican ticket Mayor of Lynn, and in 1899 and again in 1900 and in 1901 he was re-elected to the office. His second official term, 1900, was rendered no- table by the occurrence and celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Lynn as a city, involv- ing a large amount of work on the part of the city officials, and especially of the chief magis- trate. In the movement in the same year which resulted in obtaining from the Legis- lature a new charter for Lynn and in securing its adoption by the citizens, Mayor Shepherd was one of the chief workers. By virtue of his office, he is a trustee of the Lynn Public Library.

Mr. Shepherd was married at Lynn, Febru- ary 21, 1873, to Miss Georgiana Harris

HOMAS JOHN CASEY, chief engi- neer of the Cambridge Fire Department and a veteran of the Civil War, was born in Charlestown, now Somerville, Mass., October 2, 1833, son of James and Mary (Pep- per) Casey. His father, a blacksmith by trade, b. in Ireland in 1799, the year after the Rebellion, came to America, seeking in the New World opportunities for advancement that were denied him in his native land. Land- ing in Boston, October 1, 1825, he settled in Charlestown, and afterwards in East Cambridge, where he carried on the business of an under- taker. He was also sexton of the St. John's

Catholic Church. James Casey and Mary Pepper were m. February 4, 1829. She d. in East Cambridge, October 30, 1853. He d. there January 16, 1858. They were the par- ents of six children, but two of whom are now living : Thomas J., the subject of this sketch; and John, b. in 1850, who is employed by the Boston Woven Hose and Rubber Company.

Thomas J. Casey received his early educa- tion in Somerville, and at the age of eleven accompanied his parents and the rest of the family to East Cambridge. After a little more schooling, he worked two years for John L. Boynton, taking fares on his line of coaches over Craigie Bridge to Boston. He then learned the trade of furniture carver, with the firm of Doe & Hazeltine, finishing his appren- ticeship in 1855, but continuing as an em- ployee of the firm till 1862. He subse- quently worked with other firms in the same line of business until April 16, 1879, when he received the appointment to his present respon- sible position as Chief of the Cambridge Fire Department. His official connection with the department had begun just twenty-five years previously, on April 16, 1854. His first fire service for the city was, however, of an earlier date, as when but a lad of thirteen he was

torch-boy with Hand Engine No. 3. He held various offices in that company until 1862, when he enlisted in Company B, Forty-seventh Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, a nine months' regiment, with which he served a year, three months over his term of enlistment. On his return from the war he was appointed foreman of Steam Fire Engine Company No.

3, and held that office until June, 1865. In 1865 Mr. Casey was appointed third assistant engineer under Chief George B. Eaton, and on January 29, 1868, was appointed first assist- ant engineer. That position he held until April, 1879, when he succeeded the late P. H. Raymond as chief engineer.

In November, 1872, during the big Boston fire, Mr. Casey, who was first assistant engi- neer under Chief Engineer Raymond at that time, rendered valuable service to the city of Boston, doing meritorious work at the corner of Summer and Washington Streets and Lib- erty Square. In 1874 he was presented with a gold and silver horn by the citizens of East Cambridge, and in 1882 he was presented with a gold badge by the citizens of Cambridge as a mark of appreciation of his long service and ability as a fire-fighter. His judgment on fire matters is regarded as the very best, and he has the confidence of citizens and insurance companies, and also of the men who work under him. Modest and unassuming, frank and genial in manner, Chief Engineer Casey is most highly appreciated by those who know him best.

Mr. Casey is a member of Post No. 57, G. A. R., of Cambridge. He was married in February, 1861, to Miss Ellen Elizabeth Moore, a native of Dingle, county of Kerry, Ireland, whose family name recalls to mind Erin's favorite bard, the author of "Lalla Rookh." Born November 24, 1831, she came to this country in 1852. Mrs. Ellen E. Casey died February 12, 1891, leaving two children : Thomas Henry, born November 19, 1861 ; and James Moore, born April 8, 1865. Thomas H.

Y., October 20, 1886, and has four children : Flor-

ence Louisa, born November 18, 1889; Her- bert James, born October 8, 1892; Thomas Charles, born October 3, 1897; and Marion Hildreth, born March 20, 1901. James Moore Casey, who is a Lieutenant in the Cambridge Fire Department, married Rosa Galligher, October 18, 1893, and has one child - Flor- ence, born March 19, 1900.

In his youthful days he went on a whaling voyage to Hudson's Bay, and on his return enlisted in the Colonial army, taking an active part in the later campaigns of the French and Indian Wars. Removing to Walpole, N.H., in 1771, he there purchased a farm in 1775, paying therefor the sum of one hundred and sixty pounds. He subsequently served as an officer in the Revo- lution, being enrolled as Second Lieutenant in a company belonging to the regiment of Gen- eral Bellows, and afterwards being promoted to the rank of Captain. He was a man of reso- lute will, much respected, and rendered excel- lent service in many of the town offices.
