Mr. Lawrence married, on the 28th of June, 1819, Katharine, the eldest daughter of the Hon. Timothy Bigelow, the distinguished lawyer. He died in Bos- ton on the 18th of August, 1855, and was buried with civil and military honors.
Recognizing Mr. Lawrence's hearty and generous interest in the cause of education, as well as his valu- able public services, Williams College in 1852 and Harvard College in 1854 conferred on him the hon- orary degree of Doctor of Laws.
HON. MOSES P. PALMER.1
Moses Poor Palmer is a son of Moses Harriman and Mary Harriman (Hale) Palmer, and was born at Derry, N. H., on May 1, 1830. His parents were cousins, and in the year 1832 the family removed to East Bradford

GROTON.
(now Groveland), where the son received his early education, attending school at Merrimack Academy, in that village. During the summer months he worked upon his father's farm, and in the winter on the shoemaker's bench, as was the custom of young men at that time in his neighborhood. He learned the trade of shoe-cutting at Marlborough ; and in the year 1854 he came to Groton in order to superintend a shoe factory that had just been started. It was or- ganized by Messrs. Bigelow and Randall, in a build- ing that had then only recently been given up as a tavern, and situated near the Congregational meeting- house. On December 19, 1855, the establishment was burned, and then the business was transferred to the building previously used as a bakery and situated at the corner of Main and West Streets. Here young Palmer remained until 1858, when, in partnership with his brother, he began the manufacture of shoes at Marlborough, where he continued until the break- ing out of the Rebellion in the spring of 1861. He then recruited a company of riflemen at Marlborough, and, on May 6th of that year, was commissioned as captain. In the mean time the quota of men asked for by President Lincoln was filled, and for that reason the company was not at once accepted, but was assigned afterward to the Fourth Battalion of Rifles, which became the nucleus of the Thirteenth Massachusetts Volunteers. On June 25th this or- ganization was ordered to garrison Fort Indepen- deuce, Boston Harbor, where it was soon recruited to ten companies ; and on July 16th Palmer was com- missioned as first lieutenant. On July 30th the regi-
245
GROTON.
ment left for the seat of war, and, on August 16, 1862, Lieutenant Palmer was promoted to a captaincy, although he had been in command of the company during most of the time since the regiment left Boston. In the campaign of 1862 he was in command through all the principal battles of the Army of the Potomac, notably the second battle of Bull Run, where he was wounded three times,-one of which wounds was a very severe one, a bullet passing through his neck and lower jaw, -- and also slightly wounded at Fred- ericksburg. He took part in Bolivar Heights, Front Royal, Thoroughfare Gap, Chancellorsville, and various other battles and skirmishes.
During the fight at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863, while in the First Corps (Reynolds'), he was severely shot in the right knee and crippled for life, and on March 9, 1864, was honorably discharged from the military service. Owing to this wound he has lost the entire use of his knee, and is compelled to walk on crutches. On May 10, 1866, for gallant and meri- torious services in the field, he was breveted major of volunteers.
After his discharge from the army Captain Palmer returned to Groton, the home of his wife, and bought a farm, situated on the Great Road to Boston, about a mile from the village, where he now lives, much re- spected in the community. For twelve years (1877- 89) he served the town as selectman, assessor and overseer of the poor, and for four years was the chairman of the board. He has been commander of E. S. Clark Post, No. 115, Grand Army of the Re- public; master of Grange No. 7, Patrons of Hus-

bandry; an officer of the Groton Farmers' and Mechanics' Club, and a member of the Middlesex North Agricultural Society at Lowell, having been for many years one of its vice-presidents and trustees. He has been a justice of the peace since March 30, 1881, and is now treasurer of the New England Milk Producers' Union. His success as a farmer shows what can be accomplished by skill and application, and furnishes a good example for young men to follow.
Major Palmer was a member of the House during the session of 1884, and a member of the Senate dur- ing the sessions of 1888-90, a period of three years, a longer term of service than has ever been accorded to any other Senator from his district.
On July 7, 1861, he was married to Martha Green, daughter of Joshua and Matilda (Prescott) Eaton, of Groton ; and they have one son and two daughters.
CHARLES HARRISON WATERS. 1
For a period of twenty-eight years, from 1855 to 1883, Charles Harrison Waters was one of Groton's most capable, efficient and respected citizens. He pos- sessed in a marked degree the qualities which make a strong character ; and his usefulness was equal to his energy.
He was the oldest son of Horace Waters and Ruth Hovey, of Millbury, Mass., where he was born July 31, 1828. His school days were not protracted, end- ing with a term or two at an academy. At the age of
1 By Rev. Joshua Young, D. D.
247
GROTON.
fifteen he was a factory boy ; at eighteen, an overseer in a mill, already with an aim in life, and to the end of his busy career he pursued, in the main, the way of his father before him, that of a successful manu- facturer.
Dec. 21, 1854 he married Mary J. Farnsworth, daughter of James Farnsworth, of Groton, where, in the following year, he took up his residence, at first, on the Farnsworth estate in the west part of the vil- lage, and, subsequently, purchasing and remodeling for his occupancy the house owned by Mr. John Pea- body on Main Street (North). There were born to him three children, two of whom remain.
Mr. Waters was a man of action ; his was an alert mind, his a ready hand. He could not be of the number of those " who merely exist in a state of benumbed tor- por, not finding it needful to be more than half awake." He must be up and doing. And so he worked and over-worked until he broke down. Warning came to him some five years before, and he gave it heed just long enough to make a flying trip to Europe, but only to gird on the harness again as soon as he got back.
Mr. Waters had the genius of an inventor. Prob- lems of natural philosophy, physics, books of science had to him far more attraction than other subjects.
He was still a young man only twenty-three when he went to Jewett City, Connecticut, and engaged in the manufacture of rope and twine, introducing origi- nal methods. Much of the machinery now in use in the extensive works of the Clinton Wire-cloth Com- pany (of which he was first the agent, then the general manager, then vice-president, and finally president,
248
GROTON.
which office he held at the time of his decease) was of his invention.
In prosecuting the new enterprise known as the Avery Lactate Company, and while personally super- intending the construction of the building at Little- ton, from the walls of which he was descending when attacked by paralysis, he either made himself, or caused to be made, some important and original in- vestigations in chemistry. Had his life been spared it is not impossible that this business venture would have been successful.
Undoubtedly the quality of efficiency would be mentioned as his chief mental characteristic. By vir- tue of his natural executive ability it was his right to lead-not simply to have his own way, but to have things done and well done. He used his power for good. And underneath that large, forceful brain there was also an equally large and benevolent heart. The charity that emanated from his house was widely recognized, his own kindness of heart being seconded by that of his estimable wife. As a citizen, he was public-spirited in an eminent degree. He was in favor of improvements, whether it was to have better schools or better roads. In the beautiful village of his residence, whatever gives attractiveness to the place, or character and dignity to the people, is due as much to his personal effort as to that of any other man of his generation. His relig- ious affiliation was with the Unitarians. His atten- dance on the ministrations of the house of God was as regular and constant as the return of the Sabbath. His mind recognized a Supreme Intelligence, and bowed with reverence and adoration to an authority
" Enthroned above the reach of sight."
GROTON. 249
For several years he was the president of the North Middlesex Conference of Unitarian and other Chris- tian churches. He died March 13, 1883, aged fifty- four years.
A unique monument of his own design marks his resting-place in the village cemetery.
LUTHER BLOOD.
Luther Blood was born at Groton, October 21, 1810, and is a son of Luther and Sally (Cook) Blood. His grandfather, Caleb, married Hannah Holden, November 1, 1753, and Elizabeth Farns- worth, March 3, 1774. He had twenty-seven chil- dren, of whom Luther was the twenty-fifth. Eliza- beth, the grandmother, was a member of the old Farnsworth family, whose name was among the first settlers of the town. Caleb was born November 23, 1734, and was the son of John and Joanna (Nutting) Blood, who were married July 13, 1712. The first ancestor in Groton of Luther Blood was probably James, who was one of four by the name of Blood who early went to the township and became original proprietors, and are mentioned as petitioners for a plantation at that place. The family name is a fa- miliar one; and while some who bear it have become widely scattered in the land, there have yet been those who have continued it in Groton and the adjacent places, which were formerly a part of the ancient town. The old homestead, where the subject of this sketch was born, is situated in West Groton, near Fitch's Bridge. It is on the west side of the Nashua
250
GROTON.
River, and is now owned and occupied by Augustus Blood, a brother of Luther. This estate has for many years been in the possession of the Blood family. The grandfather of Luther came into possession of it when it was wilderness land, and by his industry and thrift it became a smiling homestead, where succes- sive generations of the family have been reared. On this farm the subject of this sketch spent his early years, where his life was in accord with the customs and ways of the rural and sparsely-peopled places of our old New England towns. There was plenty of hard, rough work on the farm, and that substantial and wholesome fare, which may have been a condi- tion of the robust health which he, at his advanced age, now enjoys. The education he received was at the humble school-house in what is still known as District No. 4, and consisted in what could be ob- tained in a course of six or eight weeks each year.
At the age of eighteen he left home and learned the carpenter's trade. Two school buildings still stand which were erected under his supervision, and which, by their contrast, suggest the rapid improve- ment in our educational means. One of these is a small, unoccupied, brick school-house, in District No. 4, built in 1835; the other the beautiful Law- rence Academy, erected in 1870.
May 2, 1844, Mr. Blood married Sarah Park Stone, of South Groton, now the town of Ayer. Miss Stone's birthplace was about a mile from Ayer Junction ; but her later home was the "Stone Place," on the old road from Ayer to Groton. Mr. and Mrs. Blood have no children. Their residence is pleasantly situated
251
GROTON.
on High Street, near the Lawrence Academy and the Unitarian Church. Mr. Blood was an old-time Whig, till the breaking up of that party, since which time he has been a Republican. His habits have been simple and regular. He has been temperate and in- dustrious, and bears the marks of well-developed old age.
SAMUEL A. GREEN.1
Samuel Abbott Green was born in Groton, Mass., March 16, 1830. He graduated at Harvard in 1851. After receiving his medical degree, in 1854, he spent several years in Europe. On his return he began the' practice of his profession in Boston. May 19, 1858, he was appointed by Governor Banks surgeon of the Second Massachusetts Militia Regiment, and at the breaking out of the Rebellion he entered the service as assistant surgeon of the First Massachusetts Regi- ment, and was the first medical officer in the Com- monwealth mustered in for three years' service. Sep- tember 2, 1861, Dr. Green was promoted to surgeon of the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, a posi- tion which he occupied until November 2, 1864. During this time he was on the staffs of various cavalry officers. On the Burnside expedition to Roanoke he had charge of the hospital-ship " Recruit," and later, of the hospital-ship "Cosmopolitan," on the South Carolina coast. He was also chief medical officer at Morris Island during the siege of Fort Wagner. He was appointed post-surgeon at Jacksonville and

St. Augustine, Fla., in October, 1863, and from this point went to Virginia, and was with the army when Bermuda Hundred was taken. After the surrender of Richmond Dr. Green was appointed acting staff-sur- geon in that city, where he remained three months.
In 1862 he was successful in organizing Roanoke Cemetery, one of the first regular burial-places for Union soldiers, which was dedicated, with appropri- ate ceremonies on February 23, 1862. Dr. Green was faithful to his trust, and those characteristics which have marked his later life shone resplendent in the service, and in 1864, for gallant and distinguished services in the field, he was breveted lieutenant-col- onel of volunteers.
At the close of the war he returned to Boston, where he has filled various positions of trust and responsi- bility. From 1865 to 1872 he was superintendent of the Boston Dispensary. He was a member of the Boston School Board in 1860, '62, '66 and '72; trustee of the Boston Public Library from 1868 to '78, and acting librarian from October, 1877, to October, 1878. In 1870 he was appointed by Governor Claflin on the commission to care for disabled soldiers. He was city physician from 1871 to 1880, and also, in 1878, he was chosen a member of the board of experts, authorized by Congress to investigate the yellow fever. He is now serving his fourth term as an Overseer of Harvard College, and is also one of the trustees of the Peabody Education Fund, which was established by the late George Peabody for educational purposes at the South.
In 1882 Dr. Green was elected . mayor of Boston.

GROTON.
While Dr. Green has been active and prominent in the affairs of Boston generally, the distinguishing feature of his career, perhaps, is the time and research he has given to historical studies, and the various works which he has prepared and printed-many of them privately-form an invaluable addition to the historic literature of the Commonwealth.
Among his works may be mentioned the following : "My Campaigns in America," a journal kept by Comte William de Deux Ponts, 1780-81 ; translated from the French manuscript, with an introduction and notes (Boston, 1868) ; "An Account of Percival and Ellen Green and Some of their Descendants," (printed privately, Groton, Mass., 1876); "Epitaphs from the Old Burying-Ground in Groton, Mass." (1879); "The Early Records of Groton, Mass, 1662- 1677" (1880); " History of Medicine in Massachu- setts," a centennial address delivered before the Mas- sachusetts Medical Society, June 7, 1881 (Boston, 1881); "Groton during the Indian Wars " (Groton, 1883); " Groton during the Witchcraft Times " (1883); "The Boundary Lines of Old Groton " (1885) ; " The Geography of Groton," preserved for the use of the Appalachian (Mountain) Club (1886); "Groton His- torical Series," thirty-seven numbers, 1883-1890, and the " History of Groton," in this work.
