(II) Samuel Grow, second child of John Grow (I), was born at Ipswich, Massachusetts, December 3. 1671, and he settled there, removing probably, about 1700, to Worcester county. He married Ruth and they had three children, born in Ips- wich. viz .: I. Mary, born May 17, 1695. 2. Samuel, see forward. 3. Ruth, born February 14, 1699.
(III) Samuel Grow, Jr., son of Samuel Grow (2), was born at Ipswich. Massachusetts, August 31, 1696. He was an early settler at Sutton, per- haps with his father. He sold land at Sutton, May 15, 1728-29, and removed to Westborough, where he was living in 1746 and where he died in 1764. His will made September 1, 1764, names wife Deborah and seems to show that his only surviving child at that date was his daughter, Mrs. Whitney. There were probably other children born at Sutton be- sides John, of whom later.
(IV) John Grow, probably son of Samuel Grow (2). was born about 1720. He was a proprietor of Oxford and received a portion of the common lands divided in 1749. He bought land, November 21. 1745, in the northeastern part of Oxford, then Sutton. where his father Samuel lived, He was a soldier in the French and Indian wars. He mar- ried Mary Their children were: I. Jona- than, born June 25, 1749, settled in Dudley; mar- ried Mary Brown, of Killingly. 2. Rebecca, born November 19, 1751, married, 1769, Isaac Shumway, of Douglass. 3. Mary, born September 7, 1753. 4. Sarah, born March 1, 1756. 5. Samuel, born Feb-

ruary 21, 1758. 6. Phebe, born September 20, 1759. 7. David, born September 30, 1761. 8. Peter, born April 30, 1763. 9. Jacob (twin), born April 17, 1765. 10. Hannah (twin), born April 17. 1765.
The entire Grow family, including the children of Edward Grow, brother of John Grow (4),' as well as John Grow's children and presumably he himself, removed to Tunbridge, Vermont, among the first settlers there. The names of Edward, born August 18, 1775, and Isaac, born July 27, 1777, at Dudley, the two sons of Edward Grow (4), ap- pear on the real estate index of Tunbridge as owners of land there. Also the names of Peter, Jonathan and David Grow, sons of John Grow (4), as given above. One of these three must have been the father of Asa and grandfather of Lysander Grow, of whom later. The Grow family of Fitz- william, New Hampshire, is descended from a Joseph Grow, born about 1750, perhaps connected with the family given above. Joseph and wife Tirzah Grow came from Pomfret, Connecticut, 1772.
(VI) Asa Grow. grandson of John Grow (4). of Oxford, Massachusetts, and Tunbridge, Vermont, was born about 1790, at Tunbridge, Vermont. He settled in that town and owned a farm there. He married May Ina Kirby. Among their children was Lysander, of whom later.
(VII) Lysander Grow, son of Asa Grow (6), was born in Tunbridge, Vermont, September 24, 1820. died at Milford, Massachusetts, August 5, 1903. He received a common school education in his native town and assisted his father on the home- stead during his youth. He learned the trade of blacksmith and followed it as his occupation for many years. He removed to Milford, Massachu- setts, about 1860, and started in business in part- nership with Edward Woods, in a shop on Central street. The firm continued in business and pros- pered for a number of years. After the death of his partner, Mr. Grow continued the business alone. Later he admitted his son, William C. Grow, to equal partnership under the firm name of L. Grow , & Son. This firm became one of the largest con- cerns in Milford in the general blacksmith and carriage building business. The business has been conducted by William C. Grow, the junior partner, since his father's death.
Lysander Grow was one of the best known and most prominent citizens of Milford, and at the time of his death the Milford papers stated that he was the oldest blacksmith and wheelwright in Worcester county. He was called a pioneer among the business men of the town. He had seen the town grow from a village to large proportions, and always contributed in every way in his power to further the growth and prosperity of the town. He was a Republican in politics. In many ways Mr. Grow was a model citizen. He was especially devoted to his business and his family and home.

WALTER R. DAME. John Dame (1), the immigrant ancestor of Walter R. Dame, of Clinton, Massachusetts, was born in England. about 1610. He came to America in one of the parties of Cap- tain Thomas Wiggins and settled in Dover, New Hampshire. about 1633. He was probably of the ancient Dam or Damme family of Cheshire, Eng-
land, where they were freeholders from the time of King Edward IV. During the Puritan troubles in England some of the family emigrated to Holland, others to America. The name was variously spelled in this country in different records, but most of the later generations agree on the spelling given above and used by Mr. Dame, of Clinton.
John Dame was deacon of the first parish church at Dover in 1675. His will was dated May 19, 1687, and proved March 23, 1693.

and they had only one child, John Thompson, see forward.
(VII) John Thompson Dame, son of Dr. John Dame (6), was horn October 21, 1816, in Orford, New Hampshire. Both his father and mother died when he was small and he went to live with his cousin in Orford. This relative looked after him and his interests with all of a parent's care. He was educated first in the district schools, at the academy at Meriden, a village of Plainfield, New Hampshire, where he first met Charles G. Stevens, who entered the academy from Claremont. This acquaintance was destined to become a friendship of more than half a century, during which time they were associated closely in their life work. Mr. Dame entered Dartmouth College, where he was graduated in 1840. His excellence in scholarship was attested by membership in the Phi Beta Kappa. He then began to study law under Judge Leonard Wilcox, of Orford, New Hampshire. The second year he passed at Harvard Law School. He com- pleted his preparatory legal studies with Hon. Sid- ney Bartlett, of Boston, and was admitted to the
bar in the spring of 1843. Soon afterward he opened an office in Marlborough, Massachusetts. During a year's residence there, in addition to such practice as fell to the lot of the new-fledged lawyer, he taught at times in the academy. In 1844 he removed to Lancaster. During the next five years in Lancaster he practiced law and was also acting postmaster, and during the last two years he was the police magistrate. When Clinton was incor- porated .he foresaw its growth and wisely decided to cast his fortunes with the new community. He moved there April 1, 1850. He built his house on Chestnut street. The place is now or was lately occupied by Charles L. Swan. After living in Clinton some years, he bought the estate on Water street which is still owned by his heirs. The culti- vation of the ample grounds of this estate was one of the chief pleasures of his life. He delighted in out-door work, in watching the development of plants and the maturing of fruits. He found joy too in sharing with his neighbors the products of orchard and garden. Mr. Dame had two sons and four daughters, and his home was always the centre of culture and happiness.
·
He was a member of the Congregational Society and one of its most reliable supporters. He was appointed police magistrate in Clinton in 1850, and held the office until he was commissoned trial just- ice under the law of 1858. He held the latter office until the close of 1863. In speaking of his admin- istration of these offices Mr. Stevens said: that Mr. Dame's decisions were so just that he could not recall any instance of a successful appeal from his judgment as a magistrate. As a lawyer he was especially esteemed for "his ability as an ad- viser, for his familiarity with the statutes per- taining to real estate and conveyancing, for his spotless integrity and unselfish devotion to duty." The resolutions of the bar association at the time of his death stated: "As a magistrate and practi- tioner he brought to the discharge of all his duties an intelligent and comprehensive knowledge of the law, a well trained, vigorous mind, habits of un- tiring industry and a strong love of justice, which always distinguishes the impartial judge and the successful upright lawyer. He had a keen sense of the obligations of his profession to the com- munity and used his influence and opportunities as a counsellor to discourage strife and promote the peaceful settlement of controversies between con- tending parties. While always true to his clients and faithful and paintaking in his. clients' cause,
he was equally loyal to the court . and in all his transactions as a lawyer kept both the letter and spirit of his attorney's oath."
Mr. Dame never had any partner until his son, Walter R. Dame, was associated with him in 1886. Among the students who studied in his office were: L. D. Warner, of Harvard, Massachusetts, who went to Richmond, Virvinia, before the war and has since filled important positions there. A large fire insurance business was carried on by Mr. Dame and much money invested in real estate mortgages through him. Thus his office was always a busy place. At first it was located in G. P. Smith's Block, and after 1857 in Greene's Block, first in the old building, then in the new.
In politics Mr. Dame was a Democrat of the old school. The fundamental element of his politi- cal belief was that the most perfect freedom for the individual comes from the localization of gov- ernment, and he feared the result from the cen- tralizing tendencies of his time. He often re- ceived the vote of members of both parties for local office, for everyone knew that he would strive to fill any position to which he might be elected for the best interests of the town and without regard to party association. It is worthy of note that although he was a Democrat, it was he who made the motion under which Clinton appropriated money for the relief of families of those enlisted in the defense of the country in the civil war. He was appointed postmaster of Clinton under the admin- istration of Pierce and Buchanan, and served from September 7, 1853. to April 6, 1861. He moved the postoffice from Kendall's Building to the Library Building, Union street. Among his assistants and clerks, now well known men, were: Dexter Fisher, James Powers, George W. Moore, L. D. Warner and Ezra Sawyer. Mr. Dame always took an in- terest in town affairs and no voice was heard oftener in town meeting than his. He was con- servative in his tendencies and so sternly opposed to the waste of public money that he was some- times called the "watch-dog of the treasury." In some directions, such for instance as the cause of education, he believed in the most liberal appro- priation. He was a member of the school com- mittee for seventeen years and chairman fourteen. In his later years, from 1884 to 1892, he was a director of the Bigelow Free Public Library, and in 1888 and 1892 he was chairman of the board. He wrote the history of Clinton in 1879 for the county history published by C. F. Jewett & Co. After a prolonged illness he died July 3, 1894, closing as a friend has written: "a life fraught with blessings to the town, both in deed and example, a life of service both through private and public channels, a life of high ideals in education. of unswerving integrity and of Puritan simplicity."
He married. June II, 1845, Eliza Elmira Reeves, of Wayland, Massachusetts. Her ancestors lived in Sudbury, where some of them settled in 1675. Her father, Jacob Reeves, was prominent in town affairs at Wayland, and was town clerk and trial justice many years. Mrs. Dame was a member of the Congregational Church. The children: 1. John, died in infancy. 2. Abby E., teacher in the Clin- ton school. 3. Myra. deceased. 4. Agness R., de- ceased. 5. Frances E., resides with her brother. 6. Walter R .. see forward.
(VIII) Walter R. Dame, son of John Thomp- son Dame (7), was born in Clinton, Massachusetts, June 22, 1861. He attended the public schools of Clinton, including the high school, and completed his preparation for college at Phillip's Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire. He was graduated from
212
WORCESTER COUNTY
Harvard University in 1883 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. After reading law in his father's office for a year, he entered the Boston University Law School, graduating in 1886, magna cum laude, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He was admitted to the Suffolk bar soon afterward and be- came associated with his father in his practice at Clinton, remaining in partnership until his father died. Since then he continued, at first alone, but since 1901 with Amos T. Saunders as partner under the name of Dame & Saunders. He has paid special attention to corporation law, having been counsel and director in the organization and construction of many of the street railways in Worcester and Middlesex counties. Aside from his business as a lawyer Mr. Dame has won distinction as a successful financier. He was instrumental in organizing the Co-operative Bank, of which he is attorney, secretary and director. This institu- tion has shown remarkable growth. It has assets valued at about $300,000. He has been an officer of the Clinton & Hudson Street Railway Company, all now controlled by the Worcester Consoli- dated Railway. He has also been conected amongst others with the Gardner & Westminster, Marl- boro & Westboro and Concord, Maynard & Hudson street railways.
Mr. Dame is a Democrat in politics and has been a member of the town committee since 1884. From 1886 until 1897 he served with ability as member of the board of assessors. After serving three years on the board of selectmen he declined another nomination. He served on the school com- mittee. His legal ability. unquestionable integrity and knowledge of financial matters have placed him in the front rank among Clinton business men. His high standing in court is shown by his selection by Judge Corcoran to take charge of the Lan- caster Bank.
Mr. Dame is a Free Mason of advanced stand- ing, a member of Trinity Lodge of Clinton, of Clin- ton Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, of the Order of the Mystic Shrine. He has been secretary of the Chapter. He also belongs to Clinton Lodge of Odd Fellows. He is a member of the Prescott Club. He attends the Unitarian Church of Clinton.
He married, 1894, Augusta Vickery, daughter of Charles A. Vickery, formerly a dry goods mer- chant of Portland, Maine, who was afterwards in business in Clinton. Mrs. Dame died in 1895. He married (second), 1899. Jennie E. Stone, daughter of Judge Christopher C. Stone. (See sketch of the Stone family).
