ardson displayed in this position caused the general court in 1859 to appoint him chair- man of a committee to edit the general stat- utes and in 1867 the work was ordered per- formed annually. At a subsequent session he and Judge Sanger were charged with the duty of editing a new edition of the general statutes and supplement, in consequence of the destruction of the original plates in the great fire of November, 1872, and to this edition five or six thousand notes not in the former edition were added. In April, 1856, he entered upon the duties of judge of pro- bate for Middlesex county, succeeding the Hon. Samuel Phillips Prescott Fay, who died that year after serving thirty-five years. On the consolidation of the office of judge of insolvency with that of the judge of probate in May, 1868, he was appointed to the new position of judge of probate; April, 1872, he resigned. During his term of office he had the records of his office put in order and the old probate blanks revised, simplifying the practice in his court. In 1862 he was ap- pointed a trustee of Lawrence Academy and in 1863 by the general court an overseer of Harvard College and again in 1869 he was elected overseer by the alumni. In 1860 he removed his office from Lowell to Boston and changed his residence from Lowell to Cambridge. In April, 1869, he was appoint- ed justice of the superior court of Massachu- setts, but declined the honor to accept the appointment of assistant secretary of the United States treasury from President Grant. He accepted the position reluctantly and re- peatedly sought to resign, but he was kept at his post, and did his, work faithfully and capa- bly. He was specially commissioned as acting secretary of the treasury during any absence of secretary Boutwell and thus was for months virtually secretary of the treasury. In 1871 he was sent to Europe by Secretary Boutwell to negotiate the new government loan, and in one month had obtained a favor- able proposition from leading bankers in London. It was accepted by cable and he re- mained abroad until he had delivered to the purchasers seventy-six million dollars of new five per cent bonds, investing the proceeds in old government six per cent five-twenty bonds which he brought back home and had destroyed at the treasury department. He had thirty-five clerks to transport the bonds and attend to the clerical work. At one time he had to his credit personally sixteen million dollars in the Bank of England, of which he was then probably the largest depositor. In

March, 1872, he returned home and his ac- counts were audited in a very short time. He was appointed secretary of the treasury March 17, 1873. In June, 1874, he resigned this position to accept a seat on the bench of the United States court of claims. He re- ceived the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1873 from Columbian College, Washington. Dur- ing the summer of 1875 he with his wife and daughter visited Japan and China, and made a journey around the world. He had but one child, Isabel Anna, born at Lowell, Decem- ber 21, 1850.
(VII) George Francis Richardson, son of Hon. Daniel Richardson (6) was born in Tyngsborough, December 6, 1829. He at- tended the public schools, fitting for college at Phillips Academy, Exeter, New Hamp- shire, and entering Harvard College at the age of sixteen. He graduated in the class of 1850 with honors. He studied in the Har- vard Law School, and at graduation in 1853 took the first prize of fifty dollars for the best essay. In the same year he was admitted to the bar and began the practice of his profes- sion. In 1858 he became associated with his brother, Daniel S. Richardson, succeeding his other brother, William A. Richardson, who withdrew from the firm to accept the appoint- ment of judge of probate and insolvency for Middlesex county. He practiced actively until 1903 when he retired and is living quietly at his home in Lowell. He became one of the most successful and influential lawyers of the county. He practiced before all the higher courts, including the supreme court of the United States. He preferred the active prac- tice of law to the alluring fields of political honor or the dignity of the bench. He had a brilliant political career up to the time he de- cided to give himself up exclusively to his profession. In politics he is a zealous and leading Republican. By a very remarkable coincidence all three of the Richardson broth- ers were elected president of the common council of the city of Lowell in succession. George was president in 1862 and 1863. He was in the board of aldermen in 1864 and in 1867 was mayor. He was re-elected for 1868 almost without an opposing vote and could have had an unopposed re-election, but de- clined. He was a state senator in 1871 and 1872 and made a brilliant record on the floor, serving creditably also on various commit- tees. He continued to give some of his time to the public, being member of the school board four years and chairman two. He was a delegate from his congressional district in
1868 to the Republican National Convention that nominated General Grant for president. He was trustee of the city library and for many years city solicitor. He was especially popular as mayor, being gifted with the traits that are necessary for success in an executive position. The statue of Victory presented to the city by Dr. J. C. Ayer, July 4, 1867, was unveiled during his administration. It is similar to the statue in front of the royal pal- ace at Munich. Mayor Richardson received the gift with an appropriate speech. During his administration General Grant paid a visit to the city. His intellectual culture and graceful address brought honor to the city on many occasions of this kind. He was admir- ably equipped for the position by his profes- sional training as well as his natural traits and disposition.
In the days of the Civil war he was a leader in the Union sentiment. He raised the first company of three year men formed in Massa- chusetts, April 19, 1861, the very day that the Sixth Massachusetts was attacked in the streets of Baltimore, and in his honor the company was called the Richardson Light Infantry, and its officers commissioned the following day. They were mustered into the United States service at Boston, May 21, 1861, and sailed for Fortress Monroe the next day. On the twenty-ninth they were as -. signed to the regular garrison of the fort. Phineas A. Davis was captain. The com- pany afterwards became the Seventh Massa- chusetts Battery of Light Artillery. No man has been more active in the duties of good citizenship or more alive to the honor, wel- fare and development of the city. He was president of the Prescott National Bank, a di- rector of the Traders' & Mechanics' Insur- ance Company; was president of the Lowell Bleachery Company, and of the Stony Brook Railroad Company, the Vermont & Massa- chusetts Railroad Mechanics' Association and of the Lowell Manufacturing Company. He is a Unitarian in religion and has been presi- dent of the Unitarian Club and of the Minis- try-at-large. He was a trustee of the Boston Water Power, and had the important duty of effecting the sale of real estate valued at three million dollars. Above all he is a man of culture, a love for travel, art and literature. During his many trips abroad he has collect- ed many interesting specimens of art and books. He has one of the best collections of Shakespeariana in this country, perhaps the best private collection. His library is rich in English classics. When it became fashiona-

ble to attack the authorship of Shakespeare's plays, ascribing them to Bacon and others, Mr. Richardson took up the cudgels for the old Master and in his defence of William Shakespeare as the author of the plays ascribed to him heretofore, he showed him- self a master of literature as well as of foren- sic composition. He is a member of Yorick and Country clubs. No man commands the respect and love of his townsmen more than Mr. Richardson. He is generous and chari- table in private life, attractive in personality and manner.
He married, June 8, 1854, Caroline Augus- ta Read, of Lowell. Children: I. Marietta, born March 22, 1857, married Dr. Herbert P. Jefferson, October 8, 1885, had four children : i. Richardson Perry, born Octo- ber 3, 1887; ii. George H., April 14, 1889; iii. Meta, December 7, 1891; iv. Belward, February 18, 1896, died March 6, 1896. 2. George R., born November 24, 1858, gradu- ate of Harvard Law, member of Massachu- setts Bar Association, has succeeded largely to his father's practice in Lowell. 3. Caro- line, born July 25, 1862, died December 14, 1876.

ilege, and a farm of two hundred and fifteen acres'on the Nashua river, at what has since been known as Mitchellville. The paper mill formerly standing there had been burned a few years previous, and Mr. Page rebuilt it and put in a four engine plant and a Four- drinier machine. He leased the paper mill for a term of twenty years at an annual ren- tal of four hundred dollars, but continued to operate the grist mill himself, until he sold out to his two sons. He married June 19, 1810, Clarissa Harkness, of Lunenburg, born May 21, 1785, who died October 6, 1858.

(VII) Alfred Page, son of Eli Page (6), was born at Lunenburg, Massachusetts, Decem- ber 28, 1817. He was educated in the public schools, and as early as 1843 engaged in busi- ness in partnership with his brother Thomas Page as contractors and builders, and the firm continued a large and flourishing busi- ness until its existence was terminated by the death of his brother in 1873. The firm had the contract for most of the important build- ings in that section in their day. In Ayer alone they built twenty-five residences for various persons, and several large manufac- turing plants. They had contracts in Ayer, Groton, and other towns of the vicinity. They bought the mill of their father, and in- deed there was scarcely an industry or any kind of business in the town of Ayer in which Mr. Page and his brother were not interested financially. The brothers amassed large for- tunes for that day and preserved unques- (I) Christopher Baron was born in Lanca- shire, England, January 17, 1789. He was apprenticed to the trade of dyer in one of the mills of that county, which has been famous from the beginning of the textile industry for its cotton and woolen mills. In the early days of the industry at Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1826, he came there and followed his trade of indigo dyer. He was a well known and use- ful citizen of Lowell. He attended the Pro- testant Episcopal Church, took an active inter- est in politics, and was strongly anti-slavery in tioned credit and exerted a large and helpful influence in building up the industries of that section. Mr. Alfred Page had the home- stead and resided there until 1871, when he removed to Shirley. In 1874 he went to Ayer, Massachusetts, to live. He took an active part in public affairs, and was honored by his townsmen with many positions of trust and honor. From 1858 to 1870 he was almost continuously in public office in the town of Shirley. He served on the board of selectmen during the civil war. He was a , sentiment, joining late in life the newly organ- iv-20
member of the first board of assessors in Ayer, and served many years on the board of selectmen. He was always interested in the welfare and development of the town in which he lived, and co-operated in every movement to advance its interests either in a material or moral way. He was active in the anti-slavery movement, a staunch supporter of thetemper- ance movement, and always a friend of social progress and reform, a strong, wholesome in- fluence in the community. The buildings on the town farm were erected by Mr. Page and presented to the town for a home for the poor and needy. In religion he was Unitarian, and in politics a Democrat. The lives of men like Mr. Page are useful not only for the good they accomplish in their own lives by their own acts, but in the effect of example and en- couragement upon others.
Alfred Page married, December 29, 1862, Sally Maria Felt, born in Stow, Massachusetts, daughter of John and Huldah Hobart (Con- ant) Felt, of Jaffrey, New Hampshire. His wife died March 25, 1896.

(See Richardson).
The surname Baron is one of the BARON . most ancient Scotch and Eng- lish family names. The word means in Norman-French simply husband; in old English the kindred word barn or bairn, means a child. The use of the word as a sur- name dates from the very beginning of the custom of using surnames in Normandy and England, and has no connection with the title Baron. The coat-of-arms of the Devonshire branch of this family is: Argent, a chevron between three body hearts sable. The family is found in various English counties, and has produced many distinguished men.

(II) Christopher Baron, son of Christopher Baron (I), was born in Manchester, Lanca- shire, England, December 16, 1821. He came to this country with his parents when he was but five years old, and was educated in the public schools of Lowell, where his parents settled. He was apprenticed to the machinist's trade, and also learned block printing in the cotton mills, became one of the most skillful and ex- pert mechanics of his day, and was called upon for the most difficult work on the mill machin- ery in Lowell. He has always made his home in Lowell, and is known by all the older resi- dents and is highly esteemed. He has a beau- tiful place in Florida, where he has spent the winter months since retiring from active la- bor some years ago. He is a loyal citizen of Lowell, in the development and growth of which he has had a part almost from the foun- dation of the town, and has never lost his in- terest in the community. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal church of Lowell. In politics he is a Republican, but never sought public office. He and his wife are both greatly interested in benevolent and charitable work, especially that of the church with which they are connected.

He came to Lowell with his parents when he was nine months old, and was educated there in the pub- lic schools until ten years old. He was appren- ticed to the trade of pattern-making, and fol- lowed that trade successfully until he retired in 1870. He invested his savings in real es- tate, which through the growth of the city in- creased greatly in value, and devoted his later years to the care and improvement of his prop- erty.
