ried out his plans to a successful issue had he lived. The bishop knew where the funds were coming from, and much of his work in this direction will doubtless be of future value to his diocese and parish. He readjusted the debts of the diocese so that he effected a net annual saving of sixty-five hundred dollars. He had plans for the reduction of the cost of insurance that would have lifted another bur- den from the shoulders of his people. Great as were his projects for the material welfare of his people, for the care of the poor and suf- fering, the sick, the children, he did not neg- lect the great and responsible tasks of his office in the church. He went from one end of the state to another visiting convents and schools and giving confirmations. He preach- ed in both French and English, and at con- firmation made a point of pledging every child to abstain from intoxicating liquors until he reached the age of twenty-one. He also officiated at special church dedications and delivered addresses outside as well as inside his diocese. He never evaded an opportunity to speak. At school entertainments and com- mencements, at meetings of sodalities or other organizations, he spoke very often. Twice in 1905, once at Lowell and once at the cathe- dral in Boston, he addressed immense gather- ings of Knights of Columbus. He maintained a mission for non-Catholics and worked zeal- ously to bring Catholics who were indifferent to religion back to the church. He had intend- ed to spend his summer vacation in mission work. With a French assistant he was to go about among his French parishioners, preach- ing, baptizing, administering the sacraments.
Bishop Delany was taken ill, June 2, 1906, and an operation for appendicitis was found necessary. At first his condition seemed fav- orable, but peritonitis set in and he died June II. His death was a shock to all the com- munity. At his funeral the love of clergy and laymen was eloquently expressed. Newspa- pers of every class and denomination spoke the great sorrow and regret at the untimely close of so promising and useful a career.
The Manchester Union said of him: "Bish- op Delany will be mourned throughout his diocese by all sorts and conditions of men. He was already widely known and universally esteemed. Although the youngest bishop in the United States at the time of his consecra- tion, less than two years ago, he entered upon the duties of his high position fully equipped for its responsibilities. The enthusiasm of youth was in him, combined with a clear judg-

ment and a sound understanding. He felt deeply that there was a great work before him, but he felt also that there was time in which to do it well-that he might build broadly and without haste, albeit at the same time with- out rest. Those who knew him intimately know how calmly he planned great and endur- ing work in many lines, not for his own glory or advantage, but for the cause to which he had consecrated his life and all his powers, for the welfare of his people, for help to the needy and distressed, for the strengthening of faith among men. He was not lifted up by vain pride by his advancement, but calmly conscious of his physical and mental strength, he gratefully welcomed the opportunity for usefulness which came to him, as a strong man rejoices to run a race." The Mirror said among other appreciative things: "To what eminence he would have attained, what work he would have accomplished, what measure of wisdom, sagacity and success he would have demonstrated, how fully he would have illus- trated the example and teachings of the la- mented Bradley, if he had been spared, can- not be said. * He broadened as he prog- ressed. Contact with those of other denomin- ations, experience with affairs, familiarity with business, made him more and more prac- tical and were steadily winning him public confidence. In general estimation he was a larger, more resourceful, more practical man when he died than he was two years before, and he goes hence to the great beyond sin- cerely mourned by people of all denomina- tions."
The Concord Daily Patriot said: "New Hampshire loses one of the forces that made for her best and highest interests. He was a man universally loved, not because of the clothes he wore or the office he held, but be- cause of the sterling manhood within him, be- cause of his keen appreciation of human needs, and quick sympathy for all who suffer- ed. To all who had opportunity to realize and did realize his splendid ability and loyalty as a son of the Roman Catholic church, his taking away at this time so suddenly, appeals as a calamity-stopped on the very threshold of his activity, called home when his labors were but begun."
The Republic, Boston: "Bishop Delany was the youngest member of the hierarchy in America; and withal one of the sanest and ablest. He did more to place the church on a permanent and satisfactory basis in New Hampshire during the time he was bishop,
than any other man has ever done in a like period. There was a bigness in his mind, and one cannot help recalling the scheme and the rosy future which he had mapped out for the diocese, without regretting doubly this sad taking off. Peculiarly he has sought to gain favor for his people in New Hampshire and he brought the people of that section, hostile though they were, to a realization of the dom- inant factor for good the church and the priests were."
Bishop Delany left no property except that from his life insurance, of which he bequeath- ed the sum of ten thousand dollars to the St. Joseph's Boys' Orphanage of Manchester. He was the fourth Lowell man to attain the dig- . nity of bishop-coadjutor: Archbishop O'Con- nell, of Boston; Bishop Allen, of Mobile ; Bishop Garrity, of Sioux Falls and Bishop . Delany.
Of his personal characteristics, the Guidon said: "Refined and gentle as a woman, ten- derly mindful of all of God's creatures, par- ticularly those despised or neglected by others, yet so manfully bold that the idea of weakness could never be associated with him; true to the highest ideals of Catholic faith, true to his country, true to his friends ; so 'serene and high above Life's cheap dishonesties' that no suspicion of unworthy motive in others ever destroyed the peace of his soul-he was, as his eulogist fitly characterized him, 'a manly priest and priestly man.' His most conspic- uous trait was kindness of heart. A manner ' somewhat brisk, but entirely in keeping with his robust frame and a quick incisiveness of speech often caused people on first meeting him, to set him down as severe. Exacting he certainly was, as a man of high purpose must be, but unkind never. * *
* Nowhere was his kindness of heart more noticeable than in his family relations. He was the best of brothers, the most devoted of sons. His one great care in his last illness was to hide from his mother the extent of his sufferings. His efforts to cheer her were pathetic. At the very end as she bent over him and said: 'We are sorry, son, to have you suffer so,' he smiled bravely ' and gasped, 'I'm picking up, mother.'"
He despised gossip, uncharitable speech, tale-bearing and vulgarity. He was the soul of generosity. He gave to the extent of his means wisely and generously to the poor direct as well as to the hospitals and organizations of charity and benevolence. He did not con- fine his gifts to his own creed. He loved chil- dren and did his utmost for the little ones of

his parish, where ever he was located. He loved art and nature in all her moods. He liked walking and many an evening after his day's work was done he found rest and rec- reation in a long tramp "around the bridges." He took fishing trips in the wilds of Maine and New Hampshire. He once said: "These beautiful mountains of ours are like steps to Heaven, especially just now when their tops are covered with snow. I wish you could see them in the sunlight of an autumn evening when the country round about is brilliant with foliage! As daylight dies, a magnificent pur- ple hue filles the atmosphere and this darkens and deepens slowly into the shades of night. But the tops still glow long after nightfall with a radiance as from Heaven."
September 8, 1904.
Our hearts, our hopes are with thee.' Art not thou A king? Thy hands the staff of power hold;
Thy finger rests within Faith's jeweled gold; The helmet of salvation on thy brow,
Like storied knighthood's tossing plume must now Be ever seen by us. . Yea, manifold
Thy gifts of grace, God's glory to uphold,
Thy flock to lead. Yet while in trust we vow Our faith we pray-May justice guide they hand; May gentle love direct they sandaled feet To hearts irresolute and weak; May pride Be banished far. May Christlike tones command But oft'ner still may Christlike love entreat. May one for all and all for one, abide.
June II, 1906.
Our hearts are rent; our hopes have fled. The ring The cross, the staff, those signs of power. Now toys of Death to help recall the hour Of that great day-its pomp, its pride; to bring Us sorrowing to thy tomb-bid us to sing Thy dirge, to place on thee this faded flower Which gloriously bloomed the day when our Mitred King was throned. 'Tis o'er. Our King Is dead. Long live the King! Through many a year Be his, let him recall those seeds of love Of justice, and of truth he sowed. They grew To garlands which adorned a brief career, Whose scent was wafted to the eternal throne, "God needs me more." To God his spirit flew. -Sacerdos.

(X) Josiah Bright, son of Captain Joseph Bright (9), was born April 3, 1794, at Water- town, now Belmont, and died April II, 1873. He remained on the farm with his father, re- ceiving at his father's death his share of the estate, each brother having as his share thir- teen acres. Josiah bought out Joseph's share and carried on the farm. He became a suc- cessful market gardener, selling early produce in the Boston market. He built his house on the land where his son Frederick now resides. During his farming his sons were associated with him in the business. He at one time was in the Eastern Land Company of Maine. Later he entered the ice business and was the first man to conceive the idea of cutting ice for the Boston Market. This was about the year 1823 and very few ice tools had been in- vented at that time. His plan was to use saws and axes. After having made an opening on the shore, he backed in it a sled drawn by ox- en, and when the sled was loaded it was driven nearly a quarter of a mile and the ice stored in two cellars. The cellars were roofed over and had a door for putting in and taking out the ice. One of the first customers was the Massachusetts General Hospital, which took less than a hundred pounds of ice per day, and which was supplied by the Bright family for forty-three years, constantly increasing their supply. He soon had covered wagons built by Dexter Pratt, of Cambridge, who is described by Longfellow as the "Village Blacksmith." Josiah Bright continued in the ice business for ten years, when he turned over the business to his two nephews, Wins- low and Henry Bright, who in ten years sold out to Horace O. Bright, son of Josiah Bright. Horace O. Bright carried on the business eleven years, and then took his brother as a partner, under the firm name of H. O. and J. J. Bright, who continued for twelve years, when with three other concerns, it was merged into the Boston Ice Company. Horace O. Bright was the first president of this company, and served without salary for twenty-five
years, when he resigned. About 1900 this company was absorbed by the American Ice Company, of New York City. After Josiah Bright retired from the ice business, he re- sided upon his farm, conducting it until his death. He was a Unitarian in religion; in politics a Whig, later a Republican. He was selectman of Watertown, also assessor and overseer of the poor.

(XI) Frederick William Bright, son of Josiah Bright (10), was born at Watertown (now Belmont), December 4, 1819. He was educated in the common schools, with the addition of a term in the private school of Theodore Parker, at Newton. He stayed on the farm with his father until he was about twenty years old, when he went to Boston as clerk in the fancy goods store of Isaac Spring on Kilby street, remaining eight or ten years. He later entered the employ of a grocery firm in East Boston for two years, and in Cam- bridgeport two years in a similar position, with Charles Haynes, corner Main and Columbia streets. He finally returned home and did market gardening, remaining with his father until 1873, when his father died. He bought a part of the farm and erected a fine home, where he has since resided. He has been one of Belmont's most successful market garden-
