PERLEY PIERCE COMEY, M. D. David Comey (1) was the emigrant ancestor of Dr. Perley Pierce Comey, of Worcester. He was in Woburn as early as 1663 and was doubtless the first of the name in this country. Family tradition says that he was born in Scotland. His son John married the daughter of a Scotchman, and the district in which he lived in Concord later was known as Scotland. The name is spelled Comee by part of the descend- ants. In the earlier days it was spelled in various ways, Comy. Come, Comi, Comay and Coomy.

About 1664 David Comey removed from Woburn, where he first settled, and made his home in Con- cord, Massachusetts, and there he lived the re- mainder of his days. He was killed while a soldier in King Philip's war in the Sudbury fight, described elsewhere in this work, April 21, 1676. There is a pathetic petition on file in the archives of the general court wherein the widow recites her woes after the loss of her husband. He was a young man, born

about 1640, and when he was killed the widow had six small children including a baby six weeks old and four children of the first marriage to care for. The estate amounted to only eighty-seven pounds. fifty of which was represented by the house and land and the rest by clothing and furniture. She had to give away the children. In the petition she prayed that Captain Timothy Wheeler be named guardian for the purpose. The records fail to tell us how the orphans of the soldier fared later.

(VI) Oliver Willis Rugg, son of Prentice Mason Rugg (5), was born at Sterling, March 24. 1850. His early days were spent on the farm in that town. He attended the district schools of Sterling, and later spent two terms at the Lancaster Academy under W. A. Kilburn, principal. He taught the Chocksett district school during the winter term of 1868-69, and later substituted in Sterling for his sister Carrie H., so that she might accept a better position which had been offered her after she had been engaged at Sterling. . He entered the Wor- cester Polytechnic Institute in September, 1869. graduating in 1872, in the second class graduated from that Institute. Among his classmates were Parkman T. Denny, of Leicester, A. W. Woods, of Worcester: George H. Scott of the Morgan Spring Company of Worcester: Solon Davis and Jonathan Moore, of Holden; Herbert S. Rice, of Barre; S. C. Heald, Jr., of Jamica Plains ; and M. B. Smith, of Lowell. During the vacation of 1871 he worked with William A. Smith, engineer in charge of the water supply for the city of Fitchburg. In Septem- ber. 1872, he went to work for George Raymond, who was engineer in charge of the preliminary sur- veys for the introduction of water into the town of Leominster, also into the city of Springfield: en- gineer for the Vermont & Massachusetts Railroad Company, and engineer for the Fitchburg Railroad Company. While in his employ Mr. Rugg made estimates for the Leominster water supply, surveys and estimates for the Springfield water supply. and

did much of the engineering for the Vermont & Massachusetts Railroad Company, and some for the Fitchburg Railroad Company. Mr. Raymond was elected city engineer of Fitchburg the first year it was incorporated as a city, and he gave into the hands of Mr. Rugg the engineering for the street department of that city. After leaving Mr. Ray- mond, Mr. Rugg worked for a time on his own account at Clinton and other places. It was at this time that he substituted in the school at Sterling for his sister. He was elected a member of the school committee about this time and served for many terms. In 1878 he formed a partnership with his classmate. A. W. Woods, as civil engineers and

street, Worcester. Three years later they moved to the Rogers Block, at the corner of Pleasant and Main streets, and still later to the J. H. Walker building at the corner of Barton Court and Main street. This firm had all the work of the Wash- burn & Moen Manufacturing Company until they established an office of their own. They also had the work of George Crompton for many years. The firm made a preliminary survey to Marlboro for H. H. Bigelow, who planned to extend the line he had built to the Lake. They also made an ac- curate survey and very artistic plan of Lake Quin- sigamond for Mr. Bigelow. They did the prelimi- nary surveying for the Grafton, Upton & Milford Railroad, and carried out the construction of a part of that road. Mr. Rugg, for the firm, made the plans and superintended the construction of the first electric railroad in Worcester, the Worcester, Leicester & Spencer Electric Street Railway. The firm were the engineers for the Worcester & Mill- bury Electric Street Railway Company. In 1893 they made preliminary surveys for electric railways from Worcester to Southbridge, Webster, North- bridge, via the Blackstone Valley, and to Marlboro. This was done by order of the late Samuel Winslow. who was then president and one of the promoters of the Worcester, Leicester and Spencer Electric Railway. None of these roads, however, were built under these franchises. Mr. Rugg and his partner dissolved in 1894. and Mr. Rngg 'opened his office in the Day building, on Main street. After that building was destroyed by fire in March. 1897, he moved to his present office, Room 824, State Mutual Building. He has been occupied much of the time with street railway work, although his office has had a large variety of work for individuals and corporations in Worcester county. He engineered the relocation of the Worcester, Leicester & Spencer Electric Street Railway to conform to the state highway, made preliminary surveys for an electric railway from Pen Yan to Branchport, in the state of New York, on which he was afterward the con- structing engineer. was constructing engineer for the Worcester & Clinton Street Railway Company, relocated and constructed a part of the Worcester & Webster Street Railway, was constructing en- gineer for the Worcester & Southbridge Street Rail- way Company, made preliminary surveys for an electric railway from Washington Junction to Cas- tine, in the state of Maine, a distance of about forty miles : this road, however. has never been built. He has also made preliminary surveys, plans and esti- mates for a railroad to connect at Millbury with the Worcester Consolidated Street Railway, and run to Singletary Lake, a railroad from Fiskdale to Palmer, an extension of the Southbridge & Stur- bridge Street Railway, and one from Whitinsville to Providence, an extension of the Blackstone Valley Street Railway, but these likewise were never built He has in the past few years done practically all of

the engineering for the Worcester Consolidated Street Railway Company. Plans and estimates have been prepared for the abolition of grade crossings in the towns of Webster and Winchendon under his supervision. Mr. Rugg is a member of Athels- tan Lodge, A. F. and A. M .; of Hiram Council, of Worcester Chapter, of the Worcester County Com- mandery, Knights Templar, and he has taken all the degrees to and including the thirty-second in the Scottish Rite.

ARTHUR PRENTICE RUGG. (6), son of Prentice M. Rugg (5), was born at Sterling, Massa- chusetts, August 20, 1862. ( For ancestery see sketch of his brother, O. Willis Rugg.)

Arthur P. Rugg passed his youthful days at home in his native town, where he attended the district schools, and later prepared for college at Lancaster high school, from which institution he was graduated in 1879. He entered Amherst Col- lege. was graduated cum laude in 1883, and im- mediately began the study of law, entering the Boston University Law School. In 1886 he received his degree of Bachelor of Laws magna cum laude, was admitted to the bar the same year, and was selected to serve as class orator at the commence- ment exercises. Worcester having been chosen as the central field for his work, he entered into a law partnership with John R. Thayer, recently repre- sentative in congress from the third Massachusetts district. The firm of Thayer & Rugg in 1886 had their offices in the Walker building, but the present spacious offices of the firm are to be found on the eighth floor of the State Mutual building, where they located shortly after the completion of the building.

Mr. Rugg's professional career has been very act- ive and successful. He has won many notable victories for his firm, having few equals as a trial lawyer and no superior in the preparation of cases. He has confined himself to no special line of practice, and though not generally known as a criminal lawyer has had an extended experience in the crim- inal courts, having in 1893 and 1894 served as as- sistant district attorney pro tempore, and in April. 1895, was appointed assistant district attorney by Herbert Parker. He was chosen city solicitor, July 5. 1897, to succeed William S. B. Hopkins, and has been annually re-elected since that year, a fact 'which testifies to his sterling integrity and quali- fications for office. This is one of the most im- portant positions of the kind in the state, and his excellent service rendered in behalf of the public during his term of office has won for him the com- plete confidence of the citizens and taxpayers of the city. He was admitted to practice in the supreme court of the United States, November 28. 1904, for the purpose of arguing writs of error in the famous cases of the City of Worcester os. the Worcester Consolidated Street Railway in relation to condi- tions in location for tracks. He has devoted him- self exclusively to the work of his profession, avoid- ing political office and other interests that he felt would conflict with the requirements of his chosen vocation. His services as counsel for various towns in the county when involved in litigation have been often sought. He is counsel for many corporate interests. and has a large clientage among all classes.
