company, Colonel Job Cushing's regiment, and marched with it from Leominster to Bennington the last of July, 1777, to join the forces under Colonel Seth Warner.

(VIII) Henry A. Goodrich, son of John Good- rich 3d. (7), was born in Fitchburg, November 22, 1830. His early education was obtained in the dis- trict schools of his native town and later he attended the Fitchburg Academy and the Fitchburg high school. He was one of eight boys who attended the high school during the first term after it was opened. He was the only one of the eight to locate permanently in Fitchburg. He began his business career in 1849 as overseer in a woolen mill, and dur- ing the four years after that saved enough to start in business for himself in a small way, In January, 1855. he began his long and successful career as a merchant by buying a hat and men's furnishing goods store located under the Fitchburg Hotel. He remained in this store until 1869, when he removed to his branch store established some years previously in Belding & Dickinson's block on Main street. He had also started a branch store in Brattleboro, Ver- mont. In 1885 he moved into his present handsome and commodious quarters in E. M. Dickenson's block, then newly built. He gradually added to his stock until he has one of the largest and best cloth- ing stores in the county.

In addition to his mercantile interests Mr. Good- rich has invested largely in Fitchburg real estate. Ile was at one time half owner of the L. J. Brown block. He sold his half to Mr. Brown. In 1868 he bought the American House property. Later he erected two large blocks on Day street, one of which is known as the Goodrich block.

tees of the Worcester North Savings Institution, di- rector of the Safety Fund National Bank. He was a director of the Fitchburg Park Association. IIe was president of the American Pruning Company. During the civil war he was treasurer of the Fitch- burg Bounty Fund and collected and disbursed over $20,000 to the families of soldiers. The town after- ward refunded the greater part of this money. After the battles of the Wilderness in 1864, he was sent by the town with Dr. Alfred Hitchcock and E. B. Hay- ward to care for the sick and wounded Fitchburg soldiers in the hospitals at Fredericksburg and Washington. He performed his share of this trying task thoroughly and faithfully.

Mr. Goodrich takes an interest in public affairs and questions. He has been in the past a frequent contributor to the press. The Boston Herald in criticising some of his articles in the Fitchburg Sen- tinel, said: "The Sentinel opposes the sentiments of these communications editorially, but it is beginning to be evident that the unknown writer is more than a match for the newspaper men, at least in vigorous style, mastery of the arts of logic and power of special pleading.'

In politics Mr. Goodrich has never been an ex- treme partisan. In early life he was a strong anti- slavery man. He served on the first Free Soil town committee with Moses Wood, Charles Mason and Henry A. Willis, and he cast his first vote for John P. Hale for president. He has been a Republican since the party was organized, but has not always been in full agreement with his party. As a rule he has voted the Republican ticket. In 1870-71 lie rep- resented Fitchburg in the general court. He served two years on the Hoosac tunnel committee during the most important period in the history of its con- struction. At the organization of the government under a city charter he served on the board of as- sessors. Hle has been for several years one of the trustees of the Wallace Public Library. In 1885 he was the candidate of the Citizens' party for mayor, but his ticket was defeated on account of a radical prohibition sentiment prevailing at the time. In 1892 he was Republican presidential elector from his district. Mr. Goodrich is one of the leading merchants of the town. He is a man of public spirit, to whom the citizens of Fitchburg owe much for his part in developing the city and encouraging its enterprises. He stands high socially as well as in a business way.

He married, December 17, 1856, Harriet Stebbins, daughter of John and Harriet H. Stebbins, of Ver- non, Vermont. Their children were : Emma L., mar- ried W. L. Humes; John S., died in infancy; Will- iam Henry, died March 24, 1894; a young man of marked ability and great promise, a senior in Tuft's College. Harriet (Stebbins) Goodrich was the eighth in descent from Rowland Stebbins, who came from England in 1634; settled in Springfield and Northampton, Massachusetts. He was a friend of John Pynchon.

WALTER A. FAIRBANKS. Jonathan Fair- banks (1), from whom all the Fairbanks families of America are descended, was the pioneer ancestor, of course, of Walter A. Fairbanks, of Fitchburg. Jonathan Fairbanks or Fayerbank (his name is spell- ed variously) was born in England previous to the year 1600 at Sowerby in Halifax, parish of West Riding, county of York., He came to New England with his wife and six children in 1633 and became

one of the original settlers of Dedham, Massachu- setts. IIis wife, whose maiden name was Grace Lee, died about 1673. Ile died December 5, 1668. His brother, Richard Fairbanks, who came about the same time, and was at one time postmaster in Bos- ton, is not known to have had any descendants. The Fairbanks' mansion near the centre of Dedham, built by Jonathan in 1636, still remains in good state of preservation and has never gone out of the fam- ily. Recently it has been bought by the Fairbanks Association, a family organization, and it will be preserved as long as possible, one of the most inter- esting and oldest of the homes of the pioneers. His will was proved January 26, 1669, and maintions his six children and some of his grandchildren.
