City. In 1855 he located in Lowell, Massa- chusetts, and began the practice of his profes- sion. He established an excellent business, and made a name for himself as a skillful and successful physician. He was on the staff of St. John's Hospital, Lowell, where he served faithfully many years, taking great interest in that institution. He was also a valued friend and supporter of St. Peter's Orphan Asylum of Lowell, giving his services always freely and cheerfully to the teachers and children there. During the civil war he was assistant surgeon of the Twenty-third Regiment, Mas- sachusets Volunteers, but resigned to resume his practice in Lowell. He was a member of the various medical societies of his district. In Masonic circles he was very prominent, a member of Pentucket Lodge of Free Masons of Lowell. In politics he was a Republican, and served some years on the school board of Lowell. He was an attendant of the Worthen Street Baptist Church of Lowell, and always ready to con- tribute and assist in the charitable work of that society. He was a man of very attrac- tive personality, greatly beloved, not only by his friends and patients but by a large circle of acquaintances.
Dr. Gage's death was caused by blood poisoning of twelve years standing. During a post mortem examination he infected a scratch on his right hand; within twenty-four hours he was prostrated, and the wound did not heal for three months. His arm and his whole system became gradually affected, and finally the disease settled in his head and be- came more aggravated in form during the last eight years of his life, baffling the skill of the most learned and experienced physicians. He was not able to transact any business dur- ing the last two years of his life, and was able to be outdoors but two or three times during that period. One remarkable fact in connection with his long illness and terrible suffering was that his mind was clear until a week before death when the disease attacked his brain. He died January 31, 1877. He was a quiet, unostentatious citizen, but deeply interested in everything pertaining to the welfare of the city which he loved. At the time of his death the Middlesex North Dis- trict Medical Society, of which he was a mem- ber. passed resolutions of sympathy, viz .:
"That in looking back on the life of our deceased associate it is pleasant for us to con- template the marked ability and conscienti- ousness with which he discharged both offi- cial and professional duties. That we bear
witness not only to his Christian character, but particularly to the resignation and pa- tience with which he submitted to the suffer- ings brought on by exposure to the perils of medical practice."
At a stated meeting of the society, the president, Dr. L. S. Fox, said: "It is fitting for us to pause amid the busy cares of life and take a retrospective glance over the past; re- membering with renewed gratitude the noble pure and unselfish lives of those who have counseled and befriended us in the past and reverently cherishing their memories. We are too apt in this hurried age to sacrifice everything to the love of gain-pleasure, friends and even life and health itself, forgetting the great duty of this brief life-to live for others and not unto ourselves. Of the long lingering sick- ness of our deceased brother, we of the profession are very well familiar, commenc- ing as it did twelve years ago from accidental poisoning, the disease steadily increasing and resisting the best known remedies till death finally released him from his great suffering. He left in the assurance of a well-grounded hope in a blessed future, trusting in Him who alone can help us in the dark hours of life and still darker hours of death. His faithful and untiring devotion to business, his kind and genial disposition, won him many friends and patrons, made his life a success, and placed him in the front rank of his profession. It was my pleasure to be well acquainted with him for over twelve years, during which time I never heard an unkind expression from his lips or heard of one unkind act."
He married, in 1857, Elizabeth Norcutt Hammond, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was born in Boston, April 20, 1832, and was educated in the public and high schools of Cambridge, graduating in the first class of girls that graduated from Cambridge high school, that of 1851. They had no children. Mrs. Gage resides at her home. 476 Bridge street, Lowell.
After graduation Mrs. Gage taught for several terms in the district schools at North Billerica. Mrs. Gage is a descendant of John Glover, who with others emigrated to New England under Governor Winthrop, settling in Boston and Dorchester, Massachusetts, in I630. Her great-grandfather, Alexander Glover, of Dorchester, served all through the Revolutionary War, was honorably dis- charged, and drew a pension. She is a mem- ber of Lydia Darrah Chapter, Daughters American Revolution.

Nathan Cobb Lombard, pro-
LOMBARD fessional draughtsman and
mechanical engineer. was born in Guilford, Maine, October 29, 1827. He was a son of Joseph and Eliza (Wharf) Lombard, of Guilford, Maine.
He was a pupil in the public schools of his native town and at Foxcroft Academy. On leaving school he engaged as a district school teacher for one year, and then removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, to take up his chosen vocation of mechanical engineer and draughts- man, in connection with expensive cotton mills, these being erected in that city. While a resident of Lowell, he was married, June I, 1851, to Lucy Sophia Piper, daughter of Aaron and Abigail (Dolbear) Piper, of Han- cock, Vermont, and granddaughter of Amasa and Mary (Piper) Piper. Amasa Piper was one of the minute-men in the battle at the bridge in Concord, April 19, 1775, and a resi- dent of that ancient town. Her maternal grandfather was Nathan Dolbear, a native of Royalston, Massachusetts, who took part as a soldier in the war of 1812, and married Abi- gail Butts. After residing for five years in Lowell, Nathan C. Lombard removed to Boston, where he opened offices at 40 State street, as a professional draughtsman, me- chanical engineer and solicitor of patents, being drawn into the additional profession by customers who employed him in making drawings to be placed in the patent office at Washington, D. C., in connection with models of machines, on which patents were desired. On removing his business to Boston, he also removed his residence to 259 Prospect street, Cambridge. In the affairs of that city he took an active interest, and was identified with its government first as a member of the common council, in which body he served 1882-83, and was advanced to the aldermanic chamber in 1884, and served as a member of the board of city aldermen 1884-85-86. In that body he was selected to prepare an ordinance regula- ting the building of stores, churches, school- houses, theatres, manufactories and dwellings in the city of Cambridge, so as to avoid dan- gers from fires and panic, and he was chiefly responsible for the passage of the building or- dinances framed and advocated by him, and successfully passed by the board. The laws thus enacted were at once popular and well observed laws. He was a charter member of the Cambridge Club, a member of Dunster Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and clerk of the board of trustees of the First Baptist Church of Cambridge. He was ac-
tively engaged in business as a mechanical engineer, and solicitor for patents in Boston for forty years, first alone and then in con- nection with his son. In 1901 the venerable father and mother joined with their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends in celebrating the golden anniversary of their wedding day, fifty years having elapsed since that event. They at the same time had passed forty-two years of that happy married life in their home, 259 Prospect street, and the golden wedding was celebrated at Odd Fellow's Hall, Cambridge. He died at his home, February 14, 1905.
The children of Nathan Cobb and Lucy Sophia (Piper) Lombard are: I. Alfretta M., married Cyprian Frank Southack, no children ; he died in 1888. 2. Herbert E., born in Low- ell, Massachusetts, November 15, 1853, edu- cated in the public schools of Cambridge, Cambridge English high school and Foxcroft Academy.

After her husband's death in 1900 she re- moved with her children to Cambridge, Mas- sachusetts. 4.

He was a mem- ber of the Masonic fraternity. He married, 1881, Nellie Jones, of Cambridge. Their chil- dren are: Lucy Viola, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1882, and Nathan Cobb, born in Somerville, January 4, 1882, and follows the profession of his father and grandfather.

HEWES cestor, was probably born in
