SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.
WITHIN two years three persons have died, whose fathers were natives of Groton and soldiers during the American Revolution, namely : Andrew Johnson Parker (youngest child of Joshua Parker), who died at Charlestown, on December 31, 1894 ; the Reverend Thomas Treadwell Stone, D.D., ( youngest son of Deacon Solomon Stone) who died at Bolton, on November 13, 1895, and at the time of his death the oldest alumnus of Bowdoin College; and Luther Lewis Tarbell ( youngest son of William Tarbell), who died at Marlboro, on July 10, 1896.
In the third volume ( pages 355 and 477) of this Series are allusions to these three Sons.
MOSES HERRICK.
MOSES HERRICK, Fourth Lieutenant of Company E, Eighth Regiment, died at his late residence, 8 Dodge Street, Beverly, yesterday at the age of 62 years. He leaves a widow, two daughters and one son. Mr. Herrick was one of the first " three months'" men that responded to the call of President Lincoln in '61.
He was accidentally wounded in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington by the discharge of a musket which fell on the floor. The ball hit him in the foot necessitating the amputation of that member. That was the first amputation of the Civil War. The deceased was an honored member of Post 89, G. A. R.
"Boston Journal," Tuesday, April 24, 1894.
This amputation was performed by Dr. Norman Smith, of Groton, who, in the first campaign of the War of the Rebellion, went out as surgeon of the Old Sixth regiment. See the Reverend Dr. Charles Babbidge's Recollections of Dr. Smith, published in the second volume (pages 358-360) of this Series, wherein there is an account of the operation.

CHARLES AUGUSTUS AIKEN, Ph. D., D.D.
Son of llon. John Aiken (for many years a trustee of the Seminary) and Harriet Russell Adams ; born in Manchester, Vt., October 30, 1827; prepared for college at the high school in Lowell, where his father then resided ; graduated at Dartmouth College, 1846; assisted Rev. James Means (Class of 1838) at Lawrence Academy, Groton, 1846-47 ; taught Latin and Greek under Dr. Samuel H. Taylor at Phillips Academy, Andover, 1847- 49 ; entered the Seminary in 1849 and graduated in 1853, having in the mean time studied two years in Berlin, Halle, and Leipsic, Germany. He was licensed by the Andover Association, meeting in John Street Church, Lowell, June 14, 1853, and retained his connection with the Seminary as resident licentiate, 1853-54. He was ordained pastor of the church at Yarmouth, Me., October 19, 1854, remaining such until 1859. From 1859 to 1866 he was professor of the Latin Language and Literature in Dartmouth College, and occupied the same chair in the College of New Jersey from 1866 to 1869, when he was elected president of Union College. Hle resigned that position in 1871, and returned to Princeton to become professor of Christian Ethics and Apologetics in the Theological Seminary. Later, the title of his chair was changed to that of the Relations of Philosophy and Science to the Christian Religion, and of Oriental and Old Testament Literature, and this he held until his death. From 1871 to 1877 he was also librarian of the Seminary.
In addition to this long and eminent service as a teacher of language, theology, and philosophy, he performed a large amount

of literary work, contributing in earlier years to the Bibliotheca Sacra, and later to the Princeton Review, to the Presbyterian Review (which, as the associate of Professor Briggs, he started in 1880), to the present Presbyterian and Reformed Reviewe, and to the Catholic Presbyterian (London). He translated and edited Zockler's Commentary on the Proverbs for the American edition of Lange's Commentaries, and was a member of the Old Testament Company of the Bible Revision Committee. He was a trustee of the Lawrenceville (N. J.) School, and connected with the American Oriental Society, the American Philological Association, and the Social Science Association. In 1888 he was a delegate at large from the United States to the World's Conference on Protestant Missions, in London. The College of New Jersey conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1866, and that of Doctor of Divinity in 1870. Prof. B. B. Warfield, D.D., wrote in the Presbyterian and Reformed Review: "His greatest distinction was philosophy, but to each department of study which it fell to him to cultivate he brought an unwearied industry, an insatiable avidity for learning, and habits of exact scholarship which made themselves felt." Prof. Charles A. Young, LL.D., said in his memorial address : " And he was a good man through and through ; he was strictly honest, upright, and punctual in all business matters ; he was kind and generous, and with a wide range of sympathy he was ready to spend and be spent in the service of his fellow-men."
Dr. Aiken was married, October 17, 1854, to Sarah Elizabeth Noyes, of Andover, daughter of Dea. Daniel Noyes (formerly treasurer of the Seminary) and Eleanor Clark, who survives him.
He died of pneumonia, at Princeton, N. J., January 14, 1892, aged sixty-four years.

WILLIAM PARMENTER BENNETT. (Resident Licentiate.)
Son of Josiah Kendall Bennett and Lucinda Hall Nutting ; born in Groton, Mass., November 6, 1836 ; fitted for college at Lawrence Academy, Groton, and Phillips Exeter Academy ; graduated at Williams College, 1862, having entered the sophomore class ; was principal successively of high schools in Abington and Millbury, Mass., 1862-64 ; went to Bradford, Io., in 1865, and founded the Bradford Academy there, remaining its principal for five years. He was ordained, December 8, 1870, in Mason City, lo., and was pastor there until 1874; then came East and studied in this Seminary as resident licentiate, 1874-75; pastor of church in Lyndon, Vt., 1875-80; of church in Ames City, Io., 1880-1884; of church in Crete, Neb., from 1884 until his death.
At his funeral, which was largely attended by the people of the vicinity, by students, and by pastors and educators from a distance, President David B. Perry, of Doane College, with whose interests Mr. Bennett had been thoroughly identified, said of him : " He was born in an academy town, fitted for college in academies, taught in academies, and to the last was a great lover of that favorite New England institution. His presentation of truth was that of a care- fully trained teacher. He proceeded logically in the development of his pulpit theme, was painstaking in his preparation, and the elaboration of his subject was admirable. Ile was a lover of students, and sought to help them in every way. He knew what it was to contend with great difficulties in getting an education, and made others feel that they could struggle through to the end and so accomplish great things for themselves and the world. He believed most thoroughly in careful training, and had unbounded enthusiasm for Christian education, whether in academy or college. The emphasis that he put upon the Christian element in education cannot be too highly praised. Fidelity characterized him with reference to all public appointments. As college trustee he gave time and thought without stint. He was carefully prepared for pulpit ministrations. No one was more regular in attending Sabbath school conventions, local and general associations, and church councils, though such attendance involved large expendi- ture of thought and time and means." Rev. Lewis Gregory, of Lincoln, Neb. (Class of 1868), writes in a similar vein : " Bennett

was a royal good fellow. All who know his work emphasize his educational instincts. He was the friend and confidant of students, and was able to get many started towards a liberal education and to help them through."
Mr. Bennett was married, August 4, 1864, to Harriet Irene Blodgett. of Randolph, Vt., daughter of Eli Blodgett and Irene Blodgett. One daughter died in infancy and one at the age of eighteen. Three sons and two daughters survive, three of whom are graduates of Doane College; one son is intending to enter the ministry.
Mr. Bennett died of Pneumonia, in Crete, Neb., March 9, 1896, aged fifty-nine years, four months, and three days.

DANIEL BUTLER.
Son of Capt. Henry Butler and Chloe Hinsdale; born in Hartford, Conn., June 23, 1808 ; fitted for college under tuition of Rev. Emerson Davis at Westfield, Mass., which was then the home of the family ; graduated at Yale College, 1835 ; spent three years in the Seminary ; was licensed to preach, April 10, 1838, by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. Dr. Justin Edwards in Andover. The Sabbath after his graduation in September he preached as a candidate for settlement at the Village Church in Dorchester, Mass., and was ordained its pastor, October 31, 1838. He was dismissed from that charge in 1845, in order to enter upon an agency for the American Bible Society in Massachusetts. In 1852 he became secretary of the Massachusetts Bible Society, and in its service spent the remainder of his long life.
The year after leaving Dorchester he resided at Waltham, from 1847 to 1853 at Westboro, from 1853 to 1863 at Groton, afterwards at Waverly in the new town of Belmont. He was a useful member of the school committee there, and in 1883 represented that district in the Legislature. But his great work, which for nearly forty years he performed with rare judgment and fidelity, was in behalf of the Holy Scriptures and the society which published and circulated them, and there was not a " conference " nor scarcely a town in the whole State where " Bible Butler," as he was familiarly and affectionately called, was not known and welcomed. Prof. Samuel Harris, D.D., his Seminary classmate, writes of him : " He had preeminent qualifications for this work and threw himself into

it with all his heart. Few are remembered with so lively interest by so many people. He was a brilliant conversationist, always overflowing with wit and bumor ; a man of genial and loving spirit, and of pure and earnest piety. His widespread influence lives after him, and many are they who lament his death as a personal bereavement." Rev. Aaron M. Colton, of Easthampton, Mass., a classmate both in college and seminary, adds : "Brother Butler was our class spokesman, everywhere and always ; no classmate was venturesome enough to take his place if he was present. No one was so to be depended on to be present at both the Yale and Andover meetings. . .. Though surcharged with wit and humor, he never used it to wound a sensitive spirit - his heart was tender as a woman's. Nor was a 'merry quip' ever heard in one of his sermons. Brother Butler did not mistake his mission. Not one man in a million could so well go forth to sow, or could so well touch men's lives with a kindly light."
Mr. Butler was married, November 8, 1838, to Jane Douglas, of Trenton, N. Y., daughter of James Douglas and Catherine Billings, who died January 16, 1892. Two daughters died in infancy, and a son in 1892. One son and one daughter survive.
He died of catarrh of the bowels, at Waverly, Mass., February 4, 1893, in the eighty-fifth year of his age.

OBITUARY NOTICES.
He was identified with the interests of education nearly all his life, having been a member of the school committee fifteen years when in Danvers, superintendent of schools for five years during his later residence in Acton, and chairman of the school board at the time of his death. He was a trustee of Acton Memorial Library, and in 1890 published a monograph, entitled Acton in History. In a published political address upon the public schools, delivered in Danvers in 1891, an early pupil, himself an Irish Roman Catholic, paid this tribute to Mr. Fletcher as a Protestant minister : " With all that is beautiful and touching in the memories of my youth his name is linked. No man ever instilled or sought to instill into my mind worthier purposes of life, higher ambitions, or purer motives than Rev. James Fletcher." Rev. Daniel L. Furber, D.D., a classmate both at Dartmouth and Andover, writes : " Mr. Fletcher's modesty, native refinement, and scholarship made him a favorite with his teachers, and with the best men in his class both in college and in the Seminary. In the Seminary he was president of the Society of Inquiry, and as such he delivered a special oration when he graduated. He was an enthusiastic friend of education. Whether as minister, teacher, or school committee, his presence in the schoolroom was an inspiration to both teacher and pupil. His cheerful and courageous spirit was always ready for any task to which he was called. His character was one of rare sweetness and beauty."
He was married, October 10, 1849, to Lydia Middleton Wood- ward, of Andover, daughter of Rev. Henry Woodward and Lydia Middleton (who both died in the missionary service in Ceylon) and adopted daughter of Samuel Fletcher, Esq., of Andover, then treasurer of the Seminary. She died August 26, 1877; two sons died in early childhood, and one daughter resides in Acton.
Mr. Fletcher died at Acton, Mass., March 28, 1893, of heart disease, in the seventieth year of his age.

MOSES HEMMENWAY WELLS.
Son of Rev. Nathaniel Wells and Eunice Hemmenway, and grandson of Rev. Dr. Moses Hemmenway, of Wells, Me. ; born in Deerfield, N. H., August 27, 1814 ; prepared for college at Pembroke (N. H.) Academy ; graduated at Dartmouth College, 1839 ; entered this Seminary in 1839, and graduated in 1845, having been in- structor in Phillips Academy, Andover, 1839-40 ; in Groton (Mass.) Academy (now Lawrence Academy), 1840 ; in Canandaigua (N. Y.) Academy, 1840-42 ; and principal at Groton, 1844-45. He was licensed to preach by the Middlesex Union Association, at Har- vard, Mass., and ordained at Pittsfield, N. H., November 19, 1845, remaining there eight years. He was principal of Berwick Acad- emy, South Berwick, Me., 1853-55; then, resuming the ministry was pastor in Hinsdale, N. H., 1855-65 ; Lyndon, Vt., 1866-71 ; Lower Waterford, Vt., 1871-78; Ascutneyville, Vt., 1880-83 (with residence at Claremont, N. H., from 1878 to 1884); Dummerston, Vt., 1884-86. From 1886 he resided at Northfield, Mass., with- out charge.
While residing in Claremont Mr. Wells was the superintendent of schools for three years. Wherever he was he was an earnest supporter of all good causes. An unostentatious man in thought and life, he always commanded the confidence and love of the people to whom he ministered and the brethren with whom he was associated. He was a deep student in spiritual things, and held fast to the truth as it is in Jesus, yet kept abreast in his reading and sympathies with the trend of modern religious thought. Rev. Charles W. Thompson, of Westminster, Vt. (Class of 1860), says of him : "Mr. Wells combined a clear, logical mind of more than average strength with deep and broad sympathies. He had a fine and tender grain of sensibility, so that he could come very closely home to those who were his friends, and to them his memory will

be very precious. If his toleration of those who held opposing views increased with increasing years, it was from his larger appre- ciation of the deep spiritual unity of those who love our common Lord." Rev. Theodore J. Clark, of Northfield (Class of 1841), writes : "He loved the work of the ministry, and in his last years often wrote sermons which he never expected to preach. He would fre- quently say, ' If I were to live my life over I would choose the same calling.'" On a statistical blank returned recently he wrote against the item of " present employment " this : "I mean to make it ' my meat to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish his work.'"
Mr. Wells was married, February 22, 1844, to Ann Rebecca Votee, of New York City, daughter of Capt. Charles Votee and Aura Ives. She died April 5, 1855. He married, second, May 1, 1857, Emily Merrill Taylor, of Hinsdale, N. H., daughter of Lewis Taylor and Lois Webster. Of three sons and three daughters, two sons and one daughter have died. One daughter was for several years a teacher in one of the " Mount Holyoke " schools of South Africa.
Mr. Wells died at Northfield, Mass., of grip and heart disease, December 31, 1893, aged seventy-nine years.
