After retiring from active life as an actor, Mr. Marshall was engaged in giving lessons in elocution and fitting pupils for the stage, and for several years he gave dramatic read- ings and recitations before the lyceums of New England. At the centennial celebra- tion of the battle of Lexington, on the site of the historic fight, he was one of the guests of honor upon the platform. In politics he was
an old line Whig until that party ceased to exist, when he became a Democrat. On two occasions he received the honor of nomina- tion for alderman, but failed of an election, at one time lacking but four votes in order to secure his seat at the board. In the early part of 1853 he became connected with the Masonic fraternity, taking membership in St. John's Lodge, St. Paul's Royal Arch Chapter, and Boston Commandery, Knights Templar. In the fraternity he has held many offices of trust and responsibility. He has been master of his lodge, high priest of St. Paul's Royal Arch Chapter, eminent com- mander of Boston Commandery, grand war- den of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, deputy high priest of the Grand Chapter of Massachusetts, grand generalissimo of the Grand Encampment of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and temporarily filled other important positions. He attained the thirty- third degree in the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. He attended the Unitarian church. He resided in Somerville, Massa- chusetts, and at Boston, and his last years were spent in caring for his estate.
Mr. Marshall married, May 16, 1838, at Boston, Elmina Lawrence, born in Boston, August 23, 1816, died November 16, 1900, at the advanced age of eighty-four years, her death being caused by a fall and breaking of her hip.

He was educated in the old Phillips school in his na- tive city, and at the Humphrey private school at Franklin Square, Boston, and at the Boston Latin school. He began his business career as clerk in the store of J. M. Green- wood & Company, dealers at wholesale in small wares. In 1861 he became associated with his father, who was then manager of the Old Howard Atheneum and the Boston The- atre, beginning as usher, ticket-seller and in general theatre work. In 1867 he entered the employ of the Metropolitan Railroad Company. He left this position to work for the Middlesex railroad, with which he re- mained for a period of thirteen years. From 1891 to 1896 he was a clerk for the Fitchburg Railroad Company. In 1898 he engaged in business on his own account as a real estate broker, with offices in the Globe Building, Boston. At first he had a partner associated with him, but he bought out his interests and

continued alone until 1901, when he retired from business to devote all his time to his farm in Shirley, Middlesex county, Massa- chusetts. He owns some. eighty acres of land there, and has a beautiful residence and artistically kept grounds. He has made his home in Shirley for many years, though his business has been in Boston, and while his aged parents were living there he had to di- vide his time between his home and theirs in Boston. He has from time to time bought small farms and added them to his original estate, built new houses and barns, until he has the finest and most attractive country estate in the town. He also owns property in the vil- lage of Shirley and Boston, and his time is fully occupied in managing his farm and property. He is a Republican in politics, but has held no office. He is treasurer of the Shirley Co-operative Bank. He is greatly interested in the town of Shirley, and is a man of conspicuous public spirit and wide influence.

HOWES The family of Howes, Howys, Howse, House or De Huse, has an ancient English history dat- ing back to the Domesday Book and the Nor- man Conquest of 1066. In that year William the Norman granted John De Huse a manor in Berkshire, England. In 1457 a branch of the family settled in Norfolk county, England, from which time Besthorpe was the seat of the family for seven generations. Thorpe is old English for town or hamlet, and Bes meant best, indicating that the early owners appreciated the fertility of the soil.
(I) John Howys, first came to Norfolk in 1457.
(II) Robert Howys, son of John Howys (1), died in 1508.
(III) Thomas, son of Robert Howys, with brother Richard, had a coat-of-arms granted in 1519, in the reign of Henry VIII. He died in 1555. He had sons James and Robert.
(IV) Robert Howes, son of Thomas Howys (3), died in 1618: married Ann , of Caralton Rode, whither he removed and was
succeeded at Besthorpe by his eldest son James. Had also had sons John, of Besthorpe, who died in 1663, and Thomas.
(V) James Howes, son of Robert Howes (4), married Tabitha .Roope, of Morning- thorpe or Thorpe Hall manor, which has since been the seat of the Howes family. This place was settled in 1186 by Henry, son of Joselyn, who had it of the Vauxes by the Abbott of Bury; in 1198 it was settled on widow, who took the surname Thorpe ; was sold to Gurness of Boyland Hall about 1412, in whose posses- sion it remained until it came into the Roope family.
(VI) Thomas Howes, third son of Robert (5), was the father of the American immi- grant, according to the authority of the family history and Rev. Reuben Wing Howes, D. D., of New York, who visited the English branch of this family to secure proof of the lineage presented.
(VII) Thomas Howes, son of Thomas Howes (6), was born in England in 1590, and came to America with his wife Mary Burr, from the county of Norfolk. In 1637 they lived in Salem, Massachusetts. About 1639 they settled in that part of Yarmouth now Dennis, Massachusetts, and called Nobscussett. "It is well established that he was a man phys- ically strong and robust, of good moral char- acter, possessed a fair education, and was largely endowed with good common sense. That his character and standing was excellent in the community where he lived is proved by the prominent part he took in the formation of the township where he' located, and the many official duties he was elected to perform in the work of perfecting and developing its interests." He took the oath of allegiance in January, 1639, and was one of the first com- mittee to divide the planting lands; constable in 1644; on the council of war in 1658; was often deputy to the general court, 1652-3-8-9 and after ; on important committees. He died in 1665. On the eastern declivity of a hill to the northeast of the family seat of Thomas Howes is the burial place of himself and many of his descendants. In the enclosure is a granite shaft reared by the reverence of the posterity, bearing the following inscription: "Thomas Howes married Mary Burr; emigrated in 1637 from England and brought three sons, viz: Thomas, Joseph and Jeremiah, who was born on the passage. This monument erected in 1836. Descendants living in Dennis 345 ; in Chatham, 133; in other places 396." His will is dated September 26, 1665, naming his three sons and wife Mary, and in March fol-

store of Snow & Ryder, Boston. In 1864 the firm became E. H. Ryder & Company, and he was admitted to partnership. The business was continued until the fall of 1867, when the firm dissolved. In the following spring he entered the employ of H. & G. W. Lord, Com- mercial street, Boston. With them he re- mained until his death, in September, 1906.
On coming to Reading he joined the Uni- versalist Society, and with his wife and four children became deeply interested in the Sun- day school and benevolent work of the church. He was superintendent of the Sunday school for several years. In all public and literary entertainments of the society he always took a leading part, and was especially active in the movement resulting in the erection of the pres- ent church edifice, Main street. During the civil war he joined the Spear Guards, who drilled under Lieutenant William Proctor, but were never called into active service. He was a Republican in politics, except for temporary disagreements with Republican policies or dis- · approval of certain candidates. But his popu- larity is shown by the fact of all parties uniting in nominating and electing him to the legisla- ture while he was absent on a trip in the prov- inces. He served during the session of 1875. In public schools and literary gatherings he took much interest, meeting every fortnight with the Social Readers, an organization for mutual benefit. The demands of business compelled him to remove to Boston. He en- tered into the Chautauqua movement for the education of those kept at home of all ages, and was head of a class graduating in 1891, and a member of Hurlburt Circle, C. L. S. C., of East Boston.
He married, July 29, 1849, Mary S. Vose, born in Boston, April 23, 1830, daughter of Thomas S. and Mary Vose. Her mother married second, Samuel Holbrook, and lived many years in Reading. Mary S. Vose at- tended the famous Hancock School until she was fourteen years old. Four of her children were born in Essex and two in Reading, whither they removed in September, 1857, and resided for the next twenty years. She lived in Boston until September, 1892, when she removed to 51 Laurel street, Somerville, Massachusetts. From her childhood and in Essex and Reading she was constant in her attendance in Sunday school, first a teacher of a class of forty in the primary department of Father Streeter's church in Boston, later of a class of advanced pupils, a faithful mem- ber of the church choir until her removal to Boston, and always foremost in all the Sun-
day school entertainments, the festivities and fairs, a member of the Liberal Ladies' Benev- olent Association of Reading, fully alive to the importance of a good education for all, always encouraging the public school teach- ers by frequent visits and with invitations to her home. While in Reading she was a mem- ber of the Social Readers; later she took the Chautauqua course of four years, graduating with honor. In the civil war she was an able and earnest worker in aid of the Sanitary Commission, and all through her life she has been noted for activity in behalf of the re- forms of the day. She has been for several years a consistent advocate of woman's suf- frage, a persistent and earnest laborer in the ranks of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, her particular field of labor being work among foreigners, holding the office of state superintendent. She was chosen one of the delegates to represent Massachusetts at the World's Women's Christian Temperance Union, held in London, England, in June, 1895. On the evening of Sunday, June 16th, she was one of the two hundred delegates who addressed as many different audiences in the churches to which they were invited, on the Women's Christian Temperance Union work, at the Presbyterian Church at Wood Green, a suburb of London, where she was heard with great interest by a large audience, and her sentiments heartily endorsed for a more earnest and systematic movement to abolish the saloons. She returned from her foreign trip much inspired and encouraged by the meetings she attended and acquaintances she made, together with the constant com- panionship of others through her journeys in Switzerland and France; and renewed her work at home with zeal. Children: I. Mary Holbrook, born June 1, 1850; married Henry Robinson, member of the Municipal Light Board of Reading and a prominent citizen. 2. Andrew Newell, born in Essex, September 12, 1851; mentioned below. 3. Lyman Fran -. cis, born April 23, 1853. 4. Addie Blanch- ard, born June 12, 1856, died 1881; married Cyrus E. Pierce; she was a singer of note. 5. Carrie Weeks, born May 9, 1861. 6. George Edwin, mentioned below.
(XV) Andrew Newell Howes, son of An- drew Howes (14), was born in Essex, Massa- chusetts, September 12, 1851. He removed with his parents to Reading, Massachusetts, in 1857, and was educated there in the pub- lic schools. From the latter part of 1869 to 1874 he was superintendent and bookkeeper for a piano forte key manufacturing company

in Boston and later in Cambridge, and relin- quished this employment to fit himself for a more independent career. After taking a course in a commercial college, in July, 1875, he located in Boston, and became bookkeep- er for William Quirin & Co., leather manu- facturers and dealers, and was so engaged un- til 1882. He was for five years afterward en- gaged in the rubber business, and was subse- quently for three years with George Emer- son, in the leather business. In 1890 William Quirin & Co. incorporated as the Corey Leather Company, and Mr. Howes became a stockholder, and was elected to the director- ate, and also to the positions of secretary and treasurer, all of which he holds to the present time. His ample practical knowledge, broad business abilities and executive qualifications stamp him as abundantly equipped for his manifold duties, and his success has come solely from his own industrious and intelli- gent effort. He is deeply interested in all af- fecting the interests of the community, and in town meetings and other public councils he exerts a salutary influence. He was a member of the board of municipal light com- missioners of Reading for eight years, and has been treasurer of the Reading Co-opera- tive Bank for five years, and auditor of the same for fifteen years. Making his home in Reading, he is an active member of the Uni- tarian Church, which he served as a trustee for several years, and as a member of the choir for more than a score of years. He is affiliated with Zetland Lodge, Free and Ac- cepted Masons, Reading Royal Arch Chap- ter, and Security Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In politics he is a Republi- can. Mr. Howes married, June 10, 1879, Lil- lian Frances Gray, of Reading, born Septem- ber 24, 1858, daughter of Ira C. and Nellie (Atwood) Gray. Of this marriage have been born two children: Clarence Gray, April 6, 1880; and Marion Addie, November 9, 1882, the last named residing at home. The son, Clarence Gray Howes, was educated at Dart- mouth College, and took a post-graduate course at Harvard College. He is a skilled musician and fine vocalist, and a member of the choir of the Congregational church at Lynn. He married, July 19, 1905, Emily Freeman, and they have one child, Elizabeth Boit, born July 20, 1906.
(XV) George Edwin Howes, son of An- drew (14), was born in Reading, August 27, 1865. His early education was received in his native town. At the age of thirteen, after spending one year in the Reading high
school, he entered the sixth class of the Bos- ton Latin School, from which he was gradu- ated four years later in 1882, and entered Harvard. He made a specialty of the class- ics, and at commencement was the Latin salu- tatorian. He graduated in 1886, and took hon- ors in classics. In the year 1886-7 he was a teacher of classics in a private school in Stamford, Connecticut. The following year he was appointed junior master in the Boston Latin School, a position which he held four years. While teaching in Boston he took an advanced course in Harvard, receiving the degree of A. M. in 1890. During this period he assisted a professor in preparing an "Easy Latin Method." In 1891 he resigned his po- sition in the Latin School to accept a position as instructor of Latin in Haverford College Grammar School, Haverford College, Penn- sylvania. After staying there two years he resigned to carry out a project for fitting himself for a college teacher. In June, 1895, he received the degree of Ph. D. in classical philology, and at once accepted an appoint- ment as professor of Greek in the University of Vermont, where he remained for ten years, and in 1905 accepted a chair in Williams Col- lege. He married, in December, 1887, Sarah K. Dillaway, daughter of James H. and Han- nah Dillaway, · of Cambridge. Children: Ralph and Margorie.
William Robinson, the im- ROBINSON migrant ancestor of this branch of the Robinson fam- ily, was born about 1640. The first record ob- tainable shows that he was living in Water- town, Massachusetts, as early as 1670. He then had a farm of two hundred acres on the narrow neck of land claimed by both Concord and Watertown, but really in Watertown. He was a signer of the original petition for the separation of Newtowne and Cambridge in 1678. He married in Cambridge, as early as 1667, Elizabeth Cutter, born in Cambridge, July 15, 1645, daughter of Richard and Eliza- beth (Williams) Cutter.
