HON. WILLIAM UPHAM, whose death, June 14, 1882, removed from the town of Spencer, Wor- cester county. Massachusetts, one of its active and influential residents, was a man whose public service

had been eminently wise and useful, and who had in all things maintained the standards of an in- corruptible public servant and ideal citizen. He was born in Brimfield, Massachusetts, February 27, 1825, a son of William and Nancy (Smith) Upham, the former named having died when William, Jr., was but two and one-half years old.

When William Upham was four years of age, he was taken by a kind friend of the family, Deacon Jacob Bishop, with whom he lived, receiving the care and love of a son, working on the farm and receiving the benefit of the district school until six- teen years of age. He then engaged in farming, and later attended Warren Academy, and until he attained the age of twenty years spent the fall and winter months at school or in teaching. He then came to Spencer and entered the employ of his brother-in-law, Henry J. Lyman, as a common mill- hand, and the following year, 1846, he formed a co- partnership with Mr. Lyman in the manufacture of satinet goods, beginning on a small scale. In 1853 he purchased Mr. Lyman's interest in the business, and continued alone, enlarging the capacity of the mill from time to time until 1865, in which year he disposed of the property and business to E. D. Thayer, of Worcester, in order to engage in an enterprise in the city of Boston. In 1868 he re- turned to Spencer, and leased the mill but recently sold, for a term of three years, at the expiration of which he re-purchased it; this was known as the Valley Mill, and in 1874 George P. Ladd became one-half owner in this property. For several years he was associated with William Stanley in the Draper Mill, and later with Hugh Kelley in the same mill, which was subsequently known as the Spencer Woolen Company. In 1870 Mr. Upham and Mr. Stanley purchased the Westville property, replacing the cotton with woolen machinery, and commenced the manufacture of woolen goods. In 1876 Mr. Upham entered into partnership with Noah Sagen- dorph, and they erected the mill known as the Upham and Sagendorph Mill, and their business relations continued until 1880. when Mr. Sagendorph with- drew from the firm, and was succeeded by Mr. Ladd. At the time of his death Mr. Upham was the head and general manager of these several mills. He was largely instrumental in founding the Spencer Savings Bank, and was first president of that in- stitution.

He was elected to town office in 1858, and from that date until his death, a period of twenty-four years, served the town in most of its important of- fices. Two years he represented this district in the general court, and one year was a member of the senate. He was elected to a seat in the executive council, serving the first year with Governor Alex- ander H. Rice, and the second with Governor Thomas Talbot. He was a member of the Congre- gational church, toward the support of which he contributed generously, and in the welfare of which he took a deep interest. He was a consistent and energetic worker in the cause of temperance.

Mr. Upham married, June 28, 1853, Lucretia Howe Pope, a daughter of William Pope, of Spen- cer, who was a son of the Rev. Joseph Pope, the second Congregationalist minister in Spencer, hav- ing succeeded Joshua Eaton, first minister, who held the charge for twenty-seven years while Rev. Pope. his successor, was its pastor for fifty-three years. Mr. and Mrs. Upham resided in a very old house, erected in 1744-5. but in a fine state of preservation, which was the homestead of the Pope family for

four generations, and which has entertained between its walls a number of noted people, among them being Senator Hoar. Mr. Upham was a member of the Raymond California excursionists who left the east in May, 1882, for San Francisco and surround- ings, and at a re-union of the party at the Palace Hotel, on the eve of their departure for home, June 13. 1882, he was stricken with apoplexy and died on the following morning, at the age of fifty- seven years, three months and seventeen days. Mr. Upham was appropriately numbered among the valtted and valuable citizens of Spencer, and re- sponded generously with time, money and ability toward every charitable or philanthropic call and the establishment of beneficent institutions.

JOIIN J. GRIFFIN. Among the important in- dustries of Worcester is the mattress manufactur- ing business established by the late John J. Griffin in 1892. Mr. Griffin's career, though comparatively brief, is a notable illustration of large success gained through personal energy, inflexible integrity and business ability of a very high order.

John J. Griffin was the son of Jolin and Margaret Griffin, who were old and highly respected farmers of Sterling, Massachusetts. He was born in Boyls- ton, Massachusetts, November 4, 1853. He spent his early life in Sterling and was educated in its public schools. When twenty-one years of age he came to Worcester, his first employment being as bookkeeper and salesman in the paper warehouse of H. B. Stone, He afterwards obtained a more lu- crative position as bookkeeper for a large meat and provision house on Main street, and subsequently acted as bookkeeper for William Hyland, where he was impressed with the possibilities of the mat- tress making business, in which Mr. Hyland had been successfully engaged for many years.

In 1891 he started the business in a small way at Sterling Junction and made some progress, In 1892 he moved the business to Worcester, occupy- ing as a factory the old St. Anne's church edi- ffice on Shrewsbury street. Here he began work with six employes and very meagre facilities, but hre gained at the outset the confidence and respect of all with whom he was brought into business re- lations and his success soon became assured. He added to his mattress making business, the manu- facture of spring beds and down pillows. He also became a large dealer in comforters, feathers, husk, tow, moss, hair, iron beds, couches and all kind of bedding. His business increased to such an extent that he was obliged to raise the factory and build an extensive storehouse for materials. He equipped his plant with all available machinery and soon took a prominent place among the makers and dealers in bedding of New England. Besides developing his business to a point where nearly a hundred skilled employes were constantly engaged in turn- ing out the product, he invested largely in real estate. He erected a modern brick apartment house on Preston street and purchased the Loring farm of one hundred and eight acres adjoining the old family homestead in Sterling. He was fond of farm life and devoted much time and attention to his Sterling farm, which was well stocked and a very handsome piece of property.

Notwithstanding the multiplicity and extent of his business affairs he took an active part in all that pertained to the welfare of Worcester. He was interested in national and local politics and al- ways stood steadfastly for what he believed to be right. He was one of the incorporators of the Bay State Savings Bank of Worcester and was a di- rector of the Home Co-operative Bank. He was a member of several social organizations, in which he

took a leading part. He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Knights of Colum- bus and the Washington Club. He was a member of the Worcester Board of Trade. ]le had a taste for music and was a member of St. Paul's Church choir and the Worcester Choral Union. He was als , for many years organist of St. Anthony's Church at Oakdale, Massachusetts.

He died after a brief illness of pneumonia, June 12, 1903, universally regretted and respected by all who knew him. His widow, Mrs. Jennie M. Grif- fin, and a daughter, Florence M. Griffin, under the. title of the John J. Griffin Estate carry on the busi- ness which he established, and which continues, un- der the management of Albert L. Decatur, to be what its founder made it, a flourishing and import- ant factor in the industrial life of Worcester.

Mr. Griffin married, February 21, 1884. in Wor- cester, Massachusetts, Jennie M. Parsons, daughter

of Thomas and Elizabeth (Ferguson) Parsons, of Boston. She was born in Boston, September 21, 1853. The children of John J. and Jennie M. (Par- sons ) Griffin were: John, born in Worcester, De- cember 7, 1884, died in infancy; Florence Mary, born in Worcester, March 20, 1888. She is a grad- uate of the Worcester Classical high school, class of 1905, being one of the six honor pupils, and is taking a graduate course to prepare for college.

BARTON FAMILY. Samuel Barton (I), the immigrant ancestor of Charles Albion Barton, of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, was also the progenitor of all the old families of Worcester county of this name, many of whom have been prominent. Very little is known of his life before he came to Fram- ingham. He settled in Salem and was a witness in one of the famous witchcraft cases. It is not even known that he was an immigrant. Marmaduke Barton was in Salem in 1638 and Samuel, who was probably not born before 1650, may have been a na- tive of Salem. He was in Watertown for a short time and received the usual "warning" that new- comers got when moving into a Puritan colony, under date of June 16, 1693. He was in Framingham in 1699 and perhaps earlier. His children are all recorded in Framingham, although the two eldest were born elsewhere. He bought what was known as the Elliott grist mill at Oxford. He bought a fourth part of the "corn mill," one home lot of forty acres and ten acres adjoining, also fifty acres in the second division on Long Hill and various other lots of land in Oxford together with the right of common October 19, 1716, for eighty-five pounds, of Jonathan Provender. He was then of Framing- ham, but his daughter was called of Oxford when she married, December 17, 1716, so he must have moved in the fall of 1716. He was formally dis- missed by the Framingham church to the Oxford church January 15, 1721, and he was one of the original members of the church at Oxford. Be- fore he died he gave one-half his homestead to his son Joshua. He died September 12, 1732. His will is dated June 13, 1732, and was proved September 23, 1732. He bequeathed to all his children, leaving the lands not previously disposed of to Caleb, his third son.

He married Hannah Bridges, daughter of Ed- mund Bridges, of Salem, probably, and Edmund Bridges, Jr., also settled in Framingham. The chil- dren of Samuel and Hannah Barton were: I. Sam- uel, Jr., born October 8, 1691, married, May 23, 1715, Elizabeth Bellows, of Marlboro, one of the thirty original settlers of the town of Sutton; blacksmith by trade; was selectman and town treasurer ; re- moved 1748 to Dudley; his son Bezaleel was killed in the battle of Bunker Hill; he was the ancestor of the Barton family at Coryden, New Hampshire. 2.

Edmund, born August 5, 1714, mentioned below.

(II) Edmund Barton, son of Samuel Barton (1), was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, Au- gust 5, 1714. He removed to Oxford with the fam-

ily when he was only two years old. He made his liome in the second parish of Sutton, now the first parish of Millbury, and was prominent in town and church affairs. He was often named on important committees of the church and he had one notable difference with the minister over a religious service he held at his own house without asking permission of the minister. He was appointed on many of the important church committees and was evidently a leading man in his day. He was a soldier in the French and Indian wars.

Mr. B. B. Vassell, late of Worcester, author and compiler of the family genealogy, states that Edmund was "bound out" at the age of thirteen, shortly be- fore his father's death. He married, April 9, 1739, Ann Flynt, of Salem. She was born June 9, 1718, and died at Sutton, now Millbury, March 20, 1795.
