His wife, who died November 14, 1870, was a daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Lasell)
Wilder, and a descendant in the sixth genera- tion through Samuel (4), Thomas (3) and Isaac (2) of Edward Wilder, the emigrant ancestor of all of that name who have resided, in Hingham. The latter was granted land in Hingham in 1637, and admitted a freeman in 1644. Mrs. Hannah Howard was the mother of seven children: Hannah, Thomas, Samuel W., Lewis, George H., Mary W. and Lucy M.

George Henry Howard, second son of Thomas and Hannah E. (Wright) Howard, was born in Cambridge, November 13, 1838. He attended school in Pepperell and Cam- bridge, and at the conclusion of his studies he found employment at the New England Glass Works in East Cambridge. In April, 1861, he enlisted for service in the civil war in a company raised in Cambridge which was as- signed to the Sixteenth Regiment Massachu- setts Volunteer Infantry as Company A, and proceeding to the front joined the forces un- der the command of General McClellan. In the fall of 1861 he was promoted to first lieu- tenant of Company C, of Groton, which was ordered to Baltimore for the purpose of pro- tecting troops passing through the city, and his regiment subsequently joined the com- mand of General Wood at Fortress Monroe, where he witnessed the famous action be- tween the "Merrimac" and the "Monitor."

also serving his country in the army, he was obliged to resign his commission in order to care for the family, and he reluctantly with- drew from the service for that purpose. Ac- cepting a position at the Portland (Maine) Glass Works, he had charge of the mould de- partment there for a period of four years, at the expiration of which time he resigned in order to accept a more lucrative offer tend- ered him by the management of the newly established glass works in Montreal, Prov- ince of Quebec, and he remained in that city some eighteen months. Returning to Cam- bridge he pursued a special course of in- struction at Bryant and Stratton's Business College, at the conclusion of which he ac- cepted an appointment as a constable on the police force under Mayor Jones, and retained it until 1871. In the latter year he entered as a bookkeeper the employ of W. L. Lockhart, manufacturer of and wholesale dealer in un- dertakers' supplies, and was admitted to part- nership in 1893 and is still engaged in that business.
In politics Mr. Howard is a Republican, and during the past thirty-five years has fre- quently been elected to public office. For the years 1873, '74, '81, '82, '83 and '84 he served in the Cambridge common council, being president of that body for three years; was a member of the board of aldermen in 1875 and '76; was appointed one of the sink- ing fund commissioners in 1887 and a mem- ber of the water board in 1888, both of these important trusts he still retains. He is a trustee of the Wildey Savings Bank, and was formerly a director of the East Cambridge Savings Bank. He was made a Master Ma- son in Portland Lodge No. I, from which he was demitted to Putnam Lodge, Cambridge; entered the Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in 1882, and is a charter-member of Cambridge Commandery, Knights Templar. He is also affiliated with New England Lodge, Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows; and the Knights of Honor, and the Knights and La- dies of Honor; is one of the original members of the New England Order of Protection, in which he has occupied all of the important chairs; is a comrade of Post No. 57, Grand Army of the Republic, which he served as commander for twelve terms, or until declin- ing further election; and is a member of the Cambridge and Colonial Clubs. For twenty five consecutive years prior to 1896 he was superintendent of the Sunday school con- nected with the Second Baptist Church, and

Of this union there are two daughters: Lottie Evangeline, born March 14, 1862; and Lillie Belle, born March 10, 1865. Lillie Belle is now the wife of Herbert W. Pierce of Newton, and their children are: Earl How- ard, born February 3, 1888; and Ruth Evan- geline, born January 2, 1898.

Charles Clark, born April II, 1853, at Charlestown; died at Winchester, August 4, 1883; married Sarah Hovey Rawson, of Arlington. 2. Herbert L., born November I, 1866, mentioned below.
(VI) Herbert Lincoln Cox, son of Arthur Clark Cox (5), was born at Winchester, Mas- sachusetts, November 1, 1866. He received his education in the public schools of his na- tive town, graduating from the Winchester high school in 1883. He studied engineering and designing for a year in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and entered the em- ploy of the Forbes Lithographing Company of Boston in the designing department. He then entered the employ of the Boston and New York Rubber Company, 49 Franklin street, Boston, as bookkeeper. He was with this company one year, and held a similar position two years with the American Rubber Com- pany. In 1887 he decided to return to the homestead, and associated 'himself with his father in conducting the market gardening business on Ridge Hill. In 1889 he became foreman for W. W. Rawson on his farm at Arlington, Massachusetts, and continued until the death of his father in 1892, a period of three years. He succeeded to his father's busi- ness and farm, and has carried on the Ridge Hill place ever since then, having one of the most profitable and valuable farms in that sec- tion. In December, 1906, he became the own- er. The farm is known as the old Jonathan Locke place, and is situated in the western part of Winchester, and consists of twenty- seven acres of the original one hundred and seventy-six acres on Ridge street. He makes a specialty of fancy cucumbers, lettuce and radishes. Much of his produce is sold through Rhodes Brothers, commission merchants, Boston. The produce is carted to Boston, his produce wagons making trips to Boston daily. September 15, 1906, the old farm house which had been built by his grandfather, Jonathan Locke, was destroyed by fire. Herbert L. Cox erected the present modern house on the site of the old house, having finished the new building with modern improvements and also a fine large cellar for the storage of vegetables and other produce, on November 26, 1907. June 1, 1907, Mr. Cox bought the Oliver J. Locke farm from the Locke estate. Mr. Cox is an enterprising garden farmer and takes much interest in his homestead, which has
since 1887 been known as Windemere farm. Mr. Cox has been a member of the Arlington Baptist Church for twenty years, and was in- strumental in raising the funds for the new edifice. He is secretary of the Sunday school and of the Christian Endeavor Society. In politics he is a Republican.
He married, June 2, 1903, Dorris Farnham Parmelee, who was born August 9, 1880, at Portland, Maine, daughter of Edward F. and Annie (Prince) Parmelee, of Portland. Her father is with the National Casket Company at Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Cox have no chil- dren.
MARTIN Louis Martin was born at Ba- den-Baden, Germany, March 16, 1835. He came to Ameri-
ca and married there, February 28, 1870, Ag- nes Gans, who was born in Germany, April 7, 1852, the daughter of Valentine and Mar- garet Gans. Mrs. Martin is a woman of un- usual business ability. She has achieved a remarkable success as a manufacturer of co- coanut cakes and macaroons. She bought this business April 1, 1891, of Maxim Kaiser, of Dorchester. She brought her business to Somerville in August, 1899, and located at 9 Stone avenue court. She employs a dozen hands and has developed a good market for her product in Boston, New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Cleveland, Providence, St. Louis, San Francisco and other centres of distribution. The success of the business de- pends chiefly, of course, on her skill in pre- paring the ingredients and the excellence of the product, but her business ability has cre- ated the trade and extended it to its present proportions.

Robert Stiles, the first of the
STILES name in Massachusetts Bay Col- ony and probably in New Eng- land, is credited as a native of Yorkshire, England. He was an early settler on "Mr. Ezechi Roger's plantation" adjacent to New- bury, Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was established as the town of Rowley, Essex county, September 4, 1639, in that part of the town set off to form the town of Boxford, September 14, 1694. He owned a farm of two hundred and fifty acres, and his farm res- idence was near what became known in later years as East Parish Village and East Box- ford. He paid taxes to the town of Rowley, 1660-64, and he acquired more lands about 1666-67. He was married October 4, 1660, to Elizabeth, daughter of John and Anna Frye of Andover. Elizabeth Frye was born in Eng- land in 1637. Robert Stiles was constable of Rowley, 1686, and died July 30, 1690: His wife Elizabeth was admitted to the church at Boxford February 21, 1703, and their ten children were: I. John, born in Rowley, Jan- uary, 1661. 2. Elizabeth, born March 15, 1662; married John Buswell, of Boxford. 3. Sarah, died in infancy. 4. Abigail, born Feb- ruary 15, 1666. 5. Ebenezer, born February ah, born October 20, 1672. 7. Robert, born November 15, 1673; married Ruth Bridges. 20, 166 -; married Dorothy Dalton. 6. Sar . 8. Eunice; married Robert Willis. 9. Tim- othy, born October 1, 1679; married Han- nah Foster. 10. Samuel, born May 21, 1682; married Elizabeth Cory. From this family of children of the immigrant ancestor Robert Stiles, the Stiles family in the different lines may be traced.
Alba Glazier Stiles was born in Water- ford, Caledonia county, Vermont, October 28, 1828, and at an early age removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, where he engaged in the flour and grain business, and he con- tinued to carry on this enterprise in Lowell up to 1904, when he retired with an ample fortune. He was an earnest believer in the faith of the Baptist denomination, and an at- tendant of the Worthen Street Baptist Church of Lowell. He was a Republican in political faith, but not an active worker in the political field or an office seeker. He was married first, on May 15, 1853, to Caroline, daughter of Daniel and Jane (Heagan) Crockett, of
Prospect (Maine). She died May 20, 1868, and he was married (second) November 25, 1868, to Amelia Ann, daughter of Ebenezer (1793-1883) and Adeline (Chandler) (1803- 1883) Jennison, and granddaughter of Ebe- nezer (1769-1842) and Sally Webb (1769- 1862) Jennison. The Jennison family in New England trace their genealogy back to the father of William and Robert Jennison. These two sons came from Colchester, England, in 1630, and William was among the early set- tlers of Charles Towne, organized as a town August 23, 1630, and located across. the Charles river from Tri-Mountain, organized as the town of Boston, September 7, 1630. He built a house in Charles Towne the same year, and the next year (1631) sold it and re- moved to Water Towne, where his brother Robert had settled August 16, 1631. Wil- liam Jennison was ensign of the militia or- ganized to protect the settlers from the In- dians, 1631, and was admitted as a freeman of the town May 18, 1631; was one of the first selectmen and deputy to the general court of Massachusetts Bay Colony. He made a trip to Bermuda in the ship "Thun- der," in the capacity of pilot, leaving the port of Boston on October 17, 1633, and on his return reporting as to the condition of the English immigrants living in that colony. In 1636 he was made captain of the militia, and led his company, made up of all the able bod- ied men of the town, against the Pequot In- dians, and he showed so much military skill that he was made captain of the train band in 1638. He was selectman of Watertown 1635- 1642 and 1644, and deputy to the general court 1637, 1642 and 1645, and in 1646 he returned to England. He does not appear to have had any descendants in New England but his brother Robert.
(I) Robert Jennison, accompanied by his wife Elizabeth, settled in Water Towne, "the town upon Charles river," August 16, 1631, and was at once made ensign to Captain Patrick, who commanded the military com- pany. He was one of the original proprietors of the town, and was admitted as a freeman in May, 1645. As such he was attorney for the brother William, who had returned to Colchester, England, and sold his land in 1657. His wife died October 30, 1638, leav- ing one daughter, Elizabeth, born in Water- town, April 12, 1637, who married Deacon George Reed (1629 --- ) of Woburn, son of William and Mabel Reed.

The permanent settlement of the town dates from 1713, and the town was regularly incorporated in 1722. William Jennison was one of the founders of the permanent town and one of the judges of the court. He died in Worcester, September 19, 174I.
