HON. WINFIELD SCOTT SCHUSTER, was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, December 29, 1855, and received his education in the public schools of that city. When he was seventeen years old the fam- ily removed to Adams, Massachusetts, and he en- tered the employ of a woolen manufacturer, where he learned the manufacturing business in a practical way, going through the different departments. In 1881 he accepted a position in the woolen inill of W. E. Hayward, East Douglas, Massachusetts. Within three years, February 1, 1884, he was pro- moted by Mr. Hayward from the position of over- seer to superintendent of the mill. Since 1892 Mr. Schuster has been a large stockholder in the mill company, having acquired the interests formerly owned by Moses Taft. But Mr. Schuster is best known in the textile world for his organization and development of the Schuster Woolen Campany. The plant of this company is situated about a mile from the center of East Douglas. No money or pains were spared in making the mill thoroughly ef- ficient and modern. The company produces a su- perior grade of dress goods and the very best and latest machinery was installed. The plant is really handsome and attractive in appearance in addition to its other good points. The people of Douglas

are naturally proud of having this model plant in their village. It is a constant reminder of the energy and success of a valued citizen. Mr. Schus- ter is also vice-president and director of the Forest- dale Cotton Company, director of the Charles River Woolen Company, a director of the Uxbridge Na- tional Bank and a trustee of the Uxbridge Savings Bank. Although his business interests are diversi- fied and pressing, Mr. Schuster has given time to serve the town in several important positions. In 1902 he was representative to the general court from his district, in 1906 elected to the senate from the fourth Worcester district, and has been a mem- ber of the board of selectmen nine years. He is a trustee for life of the Douglas public library. In politics he is a Republican, and is chairman of the Republican town committee. The only secret so- ciety to which Mr. Schuster belongs is the Doug- las Lodge of Free Masons. Mr. Schuster is in- terested in athletics and sports. No man is more popular among the young men of the town and none more respected by the older men. He is blunt and straightforward in his methods, modest and retir- ing in his disposition, yet naturally a leader of men and director of affairs.
Mr. Schuster married, September 20, 1888, Ida M. Johnson, daughter of Smith and Eliza (Morse) Johnson. She died June 26, 1901, leaving one child, Marie, born June 28, 1893.

SUMNER RICHARDSON JOSLIN. The Joslin family is very old. Its history reaches back even beyond the time of Emperor Charlemagne, whose daughter married Count Jocelyne. One of their descendants was Sir Gilbert Jocelyne. who accompanied William, Duke of Normandy. in his expedition for the conquest of England in 1066, and became the founder of the Joslin family in that country. He received from William I extensive territorial grants in the county of Lincoln, among
which were the Lordships of Sempringham and Tyrington. His son Gilbert devoted himself to a religious life and founded the order called Gil- bertines, and was canonized a saint by Pope Inno- cent III in 1202. The younger son, Thomas Joselyne, married Maude, daughter of John Hyde, of Hyde Hall, and his heiress. She was also the granddaughter of Baron Sudeley. By this mar- riage the estate, which has since remained in the English Joslin family, came into their possession. One of this stock married Anne, the heiress of the Percys, and became Duke of Northumberland. An- other was a signer of the Magna Charta. Another is the present Earl of Roden. The family has had many distinguished men both in England and America.
(I) Israel Joslin was the emigrant ancestor of Sumner Richardson Joslin, of Rochdale, Massachu- setts. According to the journal left by his grand- son, Joseph Joslin, Israel Joslin was born in Devon- shire, England, date of birth unknown. After he came of age he made several fishing voyages to Newfoundland for about ten years. After settling in Salem, Massachusetts, Israel Joshin, with his wife's family (Bayleys), went to the eastward to a place called Arundel, near Cape Porpoise, and remained five years until the place was destroyed by Indians, August, 1723. ` Then they came back to Salem. He bought land in Killingly, Connecti- cut, before Thompson parish was set off, between 1720 and 1728. In 1742 he bought of Peter Aspin- wall a farm near the Rhode Island line, having sold his first land purchase in the "little pond" dis- trict consisting of one hundred and four acres, to his son, Israel, Jr., the place later occupied by his son Joseph. In 1728, at the first reported town meeting in Killingly, he was elected highway sur- veyor. He was one of the twenty-eight charter members of the Second church of Killingly, in the parish of Thompson, his name being fifth on the roll as signed to the covenant, indicating age and standing. He evidently was a man of importance in the town.
