He was graduated at Harvard College in 1869. He taught school for a time dur- ing his college course. After graduating he came to Fitchburg to study law in the office of Amasa Norcross. At the same time his friend, S. L. Graves, of Amherst, 1869, came to Fitchburg and entered the law office of Torrey & Wood as a student. After three years of study they were admitted to the bar on the same day. He remained with Mr. Norcross and in 1874 was admitted to partnership under the firm name of Norcross & Hartwell. In 1886 Charles F. Baker was admitted to the firm and he is at present occupying the offices of the old firm.
Mr. Hartwell carly established a reputation as an honorable, industrious and successful lawyer, and in his profession he had but few equals in Worces- ter county. As a jury lawyer he was especially strong; his cases were carefully prepared and he
won the respect of the opposing counsel and the confidence of the court and jury by the fairness with which they were presented. He was a great favorite with the younger members of the bar, and his advice and encouragement will long be cherished by many of them. He was a pleasant companion. He had at his command an endless stock of apt anecdotes and stories that made his conversation as well as addresses in court extremely agreeable.
He was an carnest Republican and for many ycars was a leader in his district. Had he lived he would undoubtedly have been the next representa- tive in the congress of the United States. He was a member of the school board in 1874-75-76-77-78. He was city solicitor from 1877 to 1887, and in this position his legal ability was greatly appreciated by the whole city. He was a representative in the general court in 1883-84-85, and took high rank there in debate and committee work. He was in the state senate in 1887-88-89 and in the latter year was the president of the senate, a position he filled with marked ability. To each of these positions of public trust he brought the full measure of earnest, honest effort, and his services were of signal valne to the city and the commonwealth. He served dur- ing his first year in the legislature on the committee on banks and banking; in the second on the com- mittee on judiciary and was house chairman on woman suffrage. In his third year he was chair- man of the committee on the judiciary. To Mr. Hartwell must be given the credit for the estab- lishment of the registry of deeds at Fitchburg. In the senate he served on the committees on the judiciary, rules, constitutional amendments, the special Beverly investigation and was chairman of each. He was also on the committee on manufac- tures. In 1889 he was unanimously elected presi- dent of the senate and he was the first citizen of Fitchburg ever honored with this position.
He was trustee and vice-president of the Worces- ter North Savings Institution; was on the board of managers and vice-president of the Massachusetts Mutual Aid Society ; director of the Fitchburg Shoe Tip Company; director and clerk of the Fitchburg Street Railway Company and director of the Leom- inster Street Railway Company. He managed and settled many large estates.
The Sentinel at the time of his death, said: "Not since the death of Goldsmith F. Bailey in 1867 has the death of a citizen at the meridian of life oc-

casioned such a public expression of the feeling of loss to liis adopted city. It is an irreparable loss to the social life of our city." His flashies of wit brightened many festive occasions and his voice was also heard on more serious occasions when matters of great importance to the community were under consideration. In politics tolerant. some of his most steadfast friends were of the opposite polit- ical faith. Professor Rufus B. Richardson, of Dart- mouth College, and Dr. Joseph E. Putnam, for many years city physician of Chelsea, were horn in the same neighborhood and were always close friends. Mr. Hartwell married. October 23, 1877, Effie M. F. Needham, daughter of Colonel Daniel Need- ham, of Groton, and their home life was very happy. Their children were: Norcross N., born at Fitch- burg. December 15, 1880, educated at private school in Concord, Massachusetts, two years; Phillips Leeter, 1900, and at Peekskill, New York. Military Academy. He is at present with Besse, Bryant & Co., dealers in men's clothing and furnishings, Worcester. Harold H., born May 6, 1890, a student in the Fitchburg high school.

With him came his wife Ann and sons John and Thomas, under four years of age, and servant Richard Sanger, aged eighteen years. Edmund Goodnow was a proprietor of Sud- bury in 1639; freeman May 13, 1640; was a town officer, deputy to the general court; and lieutenant (April 1, 1651). He died April 5, 1688.

homestead in Marlboro was bounded north and west by the highway, south by the house lot of Joseph Rice, east by Indian Hill, or the line of the Indian planting field.
