Mr. Davis went into business with his father and until 1877 was engaged in the manufacture of chairs. When his father retired the business was wound up. In July, 1880, he entered the employ of the Fitch- burg Railroad Company. He was elected city clerk of Fitchburg, January 3. 1887, and has been re-elect- ed annually since. His score of years in this posi- tion have demonstarted not only pre-eminent fitness for the duties of the office, but his talents and ability have been at the disposal of the various administrations in a multitude of ways not strictly connected with his official duties. He has been absolutely non-partisan and im- partial in the conduct of his office and has held the confidence of every city official and served the public satisfactorily. It may be said that he has made his office an important factor in the successful administration of the city government. In politics Mr. Davis is a Republican. He is prominent in the Masonic fraternity. He is past master of Aurora Lodge, past commander of Jerusalem Commandery, Knights Templar, and president of the Masonic Re- lief Association. He is ex-governor of the Society of Pilgrim Fathers, a Son of the American Revolu- tion, trustee of the Knights of Honor, auditor of the Fidelity Co-operative Bank, and a member of the Fitchburg Historical Society, Mt. Roulstone Lodge of Odd Fellows and King David Encampment. He is a member and has been treasurer of the First Un- iversalist Church for five years.
He married, April 28, 1874, Fannie A. Bogart, a teacher in the public schools, daughter of Cornelius and Sarah G. (Lovell) Bogart, of Fitchburg. Her father was for many years foreman for the paper
manufacturers, Crocker, Burbank & Company; he was for three years a member of the common coun- cil. The children of Walter A. and Fannie A. B. Davis were: Edith L., born March 1, 1875, grad- uate of the Fitchburg high school and of the Fitch- burg State Normal school, now a public school teacher in Athol; Bessie J., born August 17, 1878, graduate of the Fitchburg high school in 1898, for several years has been an assistant and stenographer in her father's office.
SAWYER FAMILY OF FITCHBURG. Thomas Sawyer (I), one of the pioneers of Lan- caster, Massachusetts, was the emigrant ancestor of Henry Oliver Sawyer and his son Henry Lewis Sawyer, formerly of West Boylston, now of Fitch- burg, Massachusetts. The Sawyers of Berlin and other towns about and within the former limits of old Lancaster are descended from this pioneer set- tler. He was born in England in 1616, and came first to Rowley, Massachusetts, and settled in Lan- caster in 1647; he was a blacksmith by trade. He married Mary Prescott, daughter of John Prescott, the leading settler of Lancaster, and became one of the prominent men of this section of the country. His homestead was where the grounds of the Sev- enth Day Adventists are now, between South Lan- caster and Clinton. He died September 12, 1706, aged about ninety years, leaving ten children. (See sketch Stephen Sawyer.)
(Il) Thomas Sawyer, son of Thomas Sawyer (I), also settled in Lancaster, was a carpenter by trade and owned a saw mill. He is famous as the hero of an adventure with the Indians. He was working in his mill with his son Elias and John Bigelow of Marlboro, October 16, 1705, when he was surprised by Indians and all were taken pris- oners, except a young son who escaped through the window and told the story to the family and neigh- bors. The Indians took the prisoners to Canada and were determined to burn Sawyer at the stake, Sawyer knew it and managed to gain the interest and friendship of the French commander by offer- ing to build the settlers a saw mill, if they would release him. The French wanted the saw mill very badly, and they tried to save him from the savages. Even after the Indians had him tied to a stake ready for the fire, a French friar appeared and brandished in front of the Indians what he said was the key to Purgatory, threatening to open the door of hell to punish the Indians if they took Sawyer's life. Superstitious fears prevailed, and Sawyer was released. He built the saw mill, and doubtless in his gratitude did his best. He was well treated by the French. After his return home he became a prominent citizen. Bigelow came back with him, but Elias Sawyer remained in Canada a year to run the saw mill and teach the workmen how to operate it. Thomas Sawyer died in 1735-6, and was buried in Lancaster. In his will he men- tioned four sons, William. Joseph, Bazaliel and Elias; and two daughters: Mary Rice, wife of Joshua Rice of Marlboro, and Hannah Moore, wife of Jonathan Moore, of Bolton. He bequeathed twelve pounds to buy a communion vessel for the Lancaster Church. A tradition in Bolton makes him the father of the wife of Rev. Nathaniel Whit- man, of Deerfield, Massachusetts. If true, she must have been the daughter Sarah, born 1671, the only child of his first wife.

(VIII) Henry Oliver Sawyer, son of Oliver Barrett Sawyer (7), was born in Berlin, Massachu- setts, June 10, 1844. He attended the district school at West Boylston and Lancaster Academy. When he was twenty-one he bought the store which his father had established, but which for a short time after his death was owned by T. V. Phelps & Co. In August of the same year Mr. Sawver took as partner in the store Melvin E. Walker. In 1872 he sold his interest in the business there to Melvin E. Walker and moved to Clinton. The firm of Sawyer Walker became M. E. Walker & Co. Henry O. Sawyer entered the furniture and undertaking business on a large scale in Clinton, an adjoining town. He was in business there six years, when he disposed of interests and came back to West Boylston and to his old business there, adding undertaking and funeral directing to same. He bought the interest of Mr. Walker, and the firm name became Sawyer Brothers. The business con- tinued under this name until January 1, 1889, when Walter B. Sawyer retired, and Henry L. Sawyer (son of H. O. Sawyer), and J. F. Higgins were ad- mitted as partners, when the name of H. O. Sawyer & Co. was adopted. Mr. Sawyer gave up business in West Boylston when the greater part of the town was destroyed to make the Metropolitan water reservoir.

past master of Trinity Lodge, of Clinton; a member of Clinton Chapter, Hiram Council of Worcester, and Jerusalem Commandery, Knights Templar, of Fitchburg. He is well known among the Odd Fel- lows of the vicinity, where this order is especially strong, and belongs to Apollo Lodge, of Fitchburg. He was a trustee of the Security Savings Bank of West Boylston until it was liquidated, when the Metropolitan Basin was built. He is a past regent of Beaman Council, Royal Arcanum, of West Boyls- ton; a member of the Merchants' Association of Fitchburg; and belongs to Rollstone Congregational Church of Fitchburg.
Mr, Sawyer is known best of all from his long and honorable career in public office. He is an earnest Republican, and a man of public spirited nature. In West Boylston he was called upon to fill practic- ally all the town offices at various times. He was town clerk, town treasurer, assessor, overseer of the poor, on the school committee, and selectman at various times; represented the district in the general court in 1881; and when in Clinton was elected treasurer and collector of taxes. Mr. Sawyer has won even greater honors since he removed to Fitchburg. He was elected an alderman for the years 1902 and 1903, and mayor in 1904 and 1905. His administration as mayor of the city of Fitch- burg has been marked by an unusually prosperous season, and he has won the approval and support of the people without regard to party. He has been called one of the best mayors the city ever had. During his term of office the high service water mains have been put into operation, much to the satisfaction of the consumers of water in the city. Mr. Sawyer was elected to the legislature in 1906. He was a delegate to the Republican national convention in 1888. Mr. Sawyer himself, and his late fellow-citizens of West Boylston, look upon his service to the town on the special committee in relation to the Metropolitan Water Basin as his best public service, and his friends properly consider the work of that committee extremely creditable to him, and of course to his colleagues. With Lewis Cutting, now of Worcester, and Harrison E. Morton, also now of Worcester, Mr. Sawyer served on this committee to look after the interests of the' town of West Boylston. The net result of their work was to secure the payment to the town of an annuity of $12,000 as compensation for the loss of taxable property due to the building of the water basin where the mills and factories and many of the business places and residences were located. In addition to this annual payment the water board built roads and bridges where needed and paid for those destroyed.
Mr. Sawyer married, January 1, 1866, Flora A. Wetherby, daughter of Solon W. Wetherby. She was born in Vermont, but removed when very young to Clinton, where she was brought up. She died September 20, 1888. He married (second), 1890, Martha E. Warner, daughter of Waters W. Warner, of West Boylston. The children of Henry Oliver and Flora A. ( Wetherby) Sawyer were: I. Henry Lewis, see forward. 2. Angie F., born July 12, - 1871. 3. Cora A., born in West Boylston, December 5. 1882. 4. Carl W., born in West Boylston, Sep- tember 13, 1888.
(IX) Henry Lewis Sawyer, son of Henry Oliver Sawyer (8), was born in West Boylston, Massa- chusetts, October 15, 1868. He attended the public schools of his native town and the West Boylston
high school and Worcester Academy, where he was graduated in 1888. He entered upon his business career in his father's store in West Boylston. In 1889, on New Year's Day, he and J. F. Higgins be- came partners with his father under the firm name of H. O. Sawyer & Co., and his uncle Walter B. Sawyer withdrew from the firm. The construction of the Metropolitan Water Basin wiped the old village of West Boylston off the map, and the busi- ness men sought new fields for their activities. Mr. Sawyer went to Fitchburg, where he bought the undertaking business of the M. W. Cummings es- tate. This had been the leading business of the kind. established by Mr. Cummings in 1868. He took hold of the new business October 14, 1898, and later his father came to Fitchburg and entered into partnership with him under the firm name of H. O. & H. L. Sawyer. It is a well known fact that the leadership in business has been maintained. The tact, courtesy and discretion essential for suc- cess in this line of business are qualities that dis- tinguish both father and son.
Mr. Sawyer is a prominent Free Mason, past master of Boylston Lodge, a member of Clinton Royal Arch Chapter and of Jerusalem Commandery, Knights Templar. He is a member of Centennial Lodge of Odd Fellows, of West Boylston, and of Nashua Tribe of Red Men. He was a member of Clark S. Simonds Camp Sons of Veterans, of Fitch- burg. He belongs to the Merchants' Association, the Park Club of Fitchburg, and various other social organizations. He is a Republican, but has never been a candidate for office. He was at one time acting town clerk of West Boylston during the ill- ness of the clerk, and town auditor of West Boyls- ton for several years.
He married, June 20, 1894, Nellie E. Baker, daughter of John E. Baker. of Worcester. She was born in Rutland, Massachusetts, July 1, 1870. Their children are: 1. Ralph Henry, born in West Boyls- ton, July 28, 1895. 2. Dorothy Ellen, born in Fitch- burg, March 17, 1900.
ARTIIUR HENRY KENDRICK, proprietor of. the Hotel Pelham (formerly Parker's Hotel), on Walnut street. Worcester, Massachusetts, is a repre- sentative in the eighth generation in direct line of descent from the founder of the family of Kendrick in America, he having emigrated to this country in 1634, or even a little earlier.
(I) George Kendrick, the pioneer ancestor of Arthur Henry Kendrick, came from England to America in the ship with Rev. Richard Mather. sailing from Bristol, England. His first settlement was made at Scituate, Massachusetts, where he was admitted a freeman, January 5, 1635, he was called a yeoman. The records show that he took an ap- prentice named John Gardiner, February 22, 1635-6. He was a volunteer soldier in the Pequod war in 1637. He and his wife were admitted to the church April 9. 1637, although Dean gives his name among those who were dismissed from the Plymouth Church in 1634-5 (?), in case they join the church in a body at Scituate. Possibly he came to Plym- outh in 1634, or there may have been two George Kendricks in the Plymouth Colony. He was pos- sessed of large holdings of land. His home lot in Scituate was located on Kent street, between the home lots of Elder Tilden and Isaac Stedman, he had another lot on the third cliff between the lots of John Hanmaer and William Dauckinges ; he also

owned marsh land near the stony cove. At the time he was living in Boston, in 1645. he sold one hun- dred and sixty acres of land on North river to William Randall, near Till's or Dwelley's creek. He also resided in Barnstable for a short time. There was some relation between George Kendrick and John Kendrick, who settled in Boston and Newton. Massachusetts, about 1639. George Kendrick lived in Boston in 1645, but, according to Dean, removed to Rehoboth in that year, but one daughter was born in 1646, and another baptized in 1650. It is certain that he married his second wife in Rehoboth, and that she died and was buried there in 1688. George Kendrick was a town officer in 1640, and a representative in the general court at Plymouth in 1642-3-4. An indication of the connection of the Boston and Rehoboth families is furnished by the marriage of a granddaughter of John Kendrick, October 8. 1696, to David Newman, of Rehoboth. All the other Rehoboth Kendricks are descendants of George Kendrick. He married. first. Jane and their children were: I. Deborah. baptized at Scituate, November 25. 1638; died February 21, 1639. 2.
