"There are those who have known Mr. San- born long and intimately, and been allowed a glimpse into his sacred inner motives, who could tell something of what he was to his in- timate friends and kindred. The best things that can be said of any worthy man are too personal and sacred ever to be said. Our first and holiest duties we owe to our own flesh and blood. And in this kind of piety, which binds us to be kind and true and loving, to those whom God has knit to us by the closest bonds, which was the beginning of religion for this man. And though we must here pass by with veiled faces, yet in our time and day, when men are so ambitious to find their sphere and their interest in more public spheres and neglect the home, or lightly break its ties, it is good for us to pause and, at least, by our silence to pay our respect to this side of the nature of this strong successful man of the world.
"I venture as the pastor of this church, the minister and friend of Mr. Sanborn for so many years, to hear testimony that I believe

he was essentially a religious man. He was a man of reverence, a man of faith-faith in goodness, faith in good men, faith in God. * * We stand in silent reverence over powers used to such good purpose, over a life spent so helpfully, over a battle fought so bravely. May God give us strength to follow on !"
Mr. Frank L. Dingley wrote of Mr. San- born: "The finest talent is the most rare and it commands the highest reward. The late James S. Sanborn, of the firm of Chase & Sanborn, of Boston, rose from the ranks. He forged ahead in virtue of what was in him, subject to self-development, not in virtue of anything done for him by influence, or by pull. He was his own architect, his own builder of fortune. His executive gift was his genius. Integrity of character was the inspiration of his gift for organizing and for executing. He never betrayed a friend. He was wholesome, genial, strong in body and mind. A great originating merchant, he leaves behind him a legacy of unique values in memories and in friendships, as well as in fame and service, as an industrial founder.
"Wherever New England enterprise is known-and the world is its open book-there the name of James S. Sanborn is a household word, there his generosity, his kindliness, his many-sided and unostentatious service are recognized. Starting at the foot of the ladder and climbing, rung by rung, Mr. Sanborn's heart went out to all who showed the real stuff or moral courage and intellectual power. Many's the struggling lad, worker, and stu- dent whom he has helped so unobtrusively that the secrets between his right hand and his left hand were scripturally maintained. The merchants of Boston have achieved nobly for the city, the state, and the nation, and none more worthy has joined the great majority than James S. Sanborn. What he has done for his native state in its varied interests of stock raising and of agriculture is well appre- ciated. The places where his first struggles began will miss him; the place where his struggles were crowned with victory will miss . him. Success is indeed successful when built on the foundations of intelligence, grit, zeal, loyalty, integrity and comradeship. That is the tribute which those who knew him best will unanimously pay this great merchant, this noble citizen, this self-made man-James S. Sanborn."
Mr. Sanborn married, November 6, 1856, Harriet N. Small, who died February 9, 1901, daughter of Captain John and Sarah (Moody)

(IX) Helen Josephine Sanborn, daughter of James Solomon Sanborn (8), was born Oc- tober 6, 1857. She attended the public schools of Lewiston, Maine, and Somerville, gradu- ating from the high school in 1875. She en- tered the State Normal school at Salem and was valedictorian of the class of 1879. She taught school for four terms at Concord, Mas- sachusetts, and won the commendation of the school committee of the town for the excell- ence of her work. The annual report of the Concord school committee for 1879-80, refer- ring to Miss Sanborn, said: "At Nine Acre Corner, the school has had a better attendance. 'An excellent teacher has here been doing a good work. She would, of course, be able to do much better work in a graded school." Miss Sanborn was offered a position as teach- er in the Emerson School at Concord but she chose to go to college instead. She entered Wellesley in 1880, and was graduated in 1884 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. During the winter of 1885 she traveled in Central America and Mexico with her father, and gathered her material for the book, "A winter in Central America," which was published in 1886 by Lee and Shepard of Boston. In 1888 she made the European tour with a Wellesley College party, visiting England, Holland, Bel- gium, Switzerland, France, Germany, and other points of interest abroad.

105

terranean countries, in company with her father. She went abroad in 1904 and again in 1905, when she visited Iceland, Norway and Northern Europe. She wrote a series of articles on "Travel" from her point of view and experience. She has written another series of articles on "Child Study," a subject in which as a trained teacher she takes special interest. In 1890 she was elected a member of the school board of the city of Somerville, a position she filled faithfully and efficiently for three years, declining re-election from both the Republican and Democratic parties. For seven years, from 1893 to 1900, she was president of the Hillside Club, the only woman thus honored. She is a charter member of the Heptorean Club. She joined the Winter Hill Congregational church in 1884, and has been active in the work of that society. She organ- ized the Daughters of the Covenant, a mis- sionary society, of which she has been presi- dent since June, 1895. She was appointed treasurer in 1903 of the College League in the interests of the International Institute for Girls in Spain. This is the first and only col- lege for women in that country. She is also a director of the corporation in charge of the college. She is also a member of the Boston Authors' Club. In June, 1906, she was elected to the board of trustees of her alma mater, Wellesley College.

John Magoun's home in Scituate was on
land he bought of George Russell in 1693. This house he gave during his lifetime to his son James who occupied it at the time of the father's death.

It is still standing. It is located in Pembroke on. the road a little above the Magoun cemetery and on the opposite side of the street. It is. two stories in height in front and originally ran down to one story at the rear with a room on each side of the front hall and having a large central chimney.

Albert Eaton Hughes was born at North Truro, Massachusetts, December 22, 1831, died November 18, 1897, at his home in Somerville, Massachusetts. He came to Bos- ton at the age of seventeen ; engaged eventu- ally in the manufacture of show cases in Bos- ton in partnership with his brother, John Avery Hughes, and was very successful in. business. At the time of his death a personal friend who knew Mr. Hughes well wrote the following obituary notice: "In the death of Mr. Albert E. Hughes Boston loses an upright business man, Somerville a loyal citizen and a large number of friends lose from their circle a valued member. The men are few who in all the relations of life leave a record more spot -. less and beautiful than the one just closed. Sagacious, untiring and successful in business, yet Mr. Hughes by no means allowed business to absorb all his thought. His ear was ever open and his hand ever extended to help the needy and the struggling. Scores, no doubt hundreds, have been helped by his substantial aid and his cheering word of sympathy. To unnumbered hearts the sad news of his death will bring a sense of personal bereavement. He was no respecter of persons. The rough laborer doing honest work, the young man trying to find a situation; the school girl striv- ing for an education, the widow in her grief and loss, the business man in trouble ; in short, any human being in any sense of need could always be sure of kindly words and generous assistance from Mr. Hughes. Having no children of their own Mr. Hughes and his wife have taken into their family at different times eight young people whom he assisted to
108

an education. Some of these have since be- ·come well known in educational and profes- sional life. Many clergymen of different de- nominations were his personal friends. He was a generous contributor to religious work, and for thirty-nine years was a faithful at- tendant and financial supporter of the Franklin Street Congregational Church. He also had a deep interest in the little church of his native town of North Truro, and his heart was knit with its welfare to the very last. His bereaved wife has the warm sympathy of uncounted friends." A. A. F.
Anna Vinal, the immigrant an- cestor of the Vinal family of VINAL Somerville, Massachusetts, was in Scituate as early as 1636, and was designated as Widow Anna Vinal. Whether her husband died on the voyage over or soon after reach- ing America is not known. Judging from a journal of her son Stephen, however, she came to New England in 1636 with three young children, after the death of husband in Eng- land. His name is not known. She probably had friend's, perhaps relatives, in Scituate, Massachusetts, where she located soon after landing, and in 1637 built a house in that town on the brook north of the Stockbridge mill pond. She was one of the partners in the
Conihasset company. She died October 6, 1664, and the administration of her estate was granted to her two sons, Stephen and John Vinal. Children : I.
