His death, in middle life, left Mrs. Avery with strength for a great work which was soon laid upon her. A kind Providence has many striking compensations for the labors and trials of God's servants. This noble wife had nursed her husband through all manner of cares, and with utmost tenderness, but without the joy of any little ones. Now children were intrusted to her training who would love her as though their own mother. I barely remember when her brother, Rev. William Howland,

married a teacher, Susan Reed, in the seminary at South Hadley and went as foreign missionary to Ceylon. A large family of children brought that sharp trial to missionaries of sending them away from the foul atmosphere of heathenism for education amid our greater privileges. What the delightful missionary homes at Auburndale and Oberlin are doing for companies of such children, Mrs. Avery was permitted to do for these of her brother. Four were taken into her own home, and three others placed in three of the best families not far away. Their aunt was the mother and center to which all might resort. All our church and school privileges were open to them and several were aided to secure a thorough course of study in higher institutions. William went to India and repeated his father's work, doing excellent service in the Madura mission. Samuel became the head of a theological training school in the Ceylon mission, John has long been preaching under the American Board in a large town in Mexico. In Ceylon is a flourishing seminary for young ladies. The veteran Miss Agnew was its principal for forty years. On retiring from her work it was stated that about seven hundred had been under her training and not one left the seminary with- out apparently Christian principle. Miss Susan Howland re- turned to this place of her birth, and for twenty-five years has been carrying on Miss Agnew's great work. She now has about one hundred and fifty pupils under her care. As we go from this house, on the hillside, west of Pumpkin Hollow, what precious memories of the Wares, the Averys, the Howlands, cluster around it!
We walk on to the top of the hill, and look out to the village eastward and to the beautiful prospect south and west and feel that the name "Hillview" has been aptly given to this home once occupied by Horace Childs. A daughter of his, Mrs. M. Elizabeth Perry, was in the little primary class with Marshall Field, down at the foot of the hill in the district school. He took the course toward business, she toward teaching. Her first schools were in town. . Then she was honored with a place among the teachers at Mount Holyoke Seminary for eleven years and since 1870 has had, at this her birthplace, a school, to prepare young ladies for the same institution. Who can estimate the worth of impressions made by one such teacher upon so

many young minds! How many have gone out from her earnest drill to further years of profitable study and then to all kinds of Christian work, in this and other lands!
We next pass over to the Arms place, on the north side of Burkeville. Its pleasant view, and smooth fertile mowings, make it one of our finest residences. Consider Arms came here, in the humble beginnings of Conway, and built opposite where
BURKEVILLE.
Charles Ives now lives, with the venerable Elijah Arms. The house now there looks southward and is about one hundred years old. Here John Arms reared a very large family, possess- ing much of his quite remarkable energy. His daughter Judith married the manufacturer, who gave to Burkeville its name. She still lives at Waukegan, a little north of Chicago, having reached the great age of ninety-two.
Julia Ann married Rev. Dwight Ives, who preached for a time in the West, then in Springfield, Mass., and for thirty years in Suffield, Conn. He there helped to build up not only his
233

large church, but also Suffield Institute and was honored with the title of D.D. He closed his useful life with service in Conway, during his last two years.
John Arms' daughter, Wealthy, married Deacon Robert Coffin, who was a teacher all his days, at one time in Ashfield Academy, also in Northampton and Ipswich, Mass., and Warren, R. I. About fifteen of his last years were passed in Conway. He compiled our Centennial pamphlet, and not only taught, but also was visitor of schools here, walking, as some say, fifteen hundred miles in his old age, to do it. There came to Mr. Coffin's home, a boy named Horace Jenkins, from Ashfield. He paid for his room ten cents a week, and managed to get his board for the merest trifle. At a prayer meeting, in a neighboring house, he first confessed his loyalty to Christ. He united with this Baptist church and was helped forward in study, so as to obtain a liberal education. Since then he has labored forty years on the eastern coast of China, part of the time at the head of a valuable school. He is now on furlough, and making ex- cellent addresses, but hopes yet to put in ten more years of work in China. A daughter of Deacon Coffin, Ada, married Rev. Adoniram Judson Chaplin, who preached in Conway for a time. Her pen did good service, as in writing Sabbath School books.
A near neighbor of Mr. Coffin was Deacon Christopher Arms of the Congregational church. His three daughters, Fanny, Pauline, and Harriet, were good Christian workers and their father very active in our social religious meetings. Harriet was a missionary teacher, for some years, among the Choctaw Indians, and then married Rev. Charles Sylvester. His ministry closed only a few years since, at Feeding Hills, Mass.
Coming down from Baptist Hill to River Street, there was years ago, as now, a blacksmith shop and the name of the smith was Ames. Out of this stock came Fisher and John, who went to Montreal, Canada, and there built up a fine business. Fisher was a favorite while here, and represented us in the Legislature in 1854. He did noble Christian service in Montreal, and his son is still working for housing the poor there in better tenements. While on River Street we must not forget the Tuckers and Cooks, who have done so much for the Methodist church and given
234

employment in their factories to so many families. Near by are the Holcombs, earnest helpers in the Baptist church. Another of its families was that of Leonard Stearns. This has sent West a son, who is superintendent of Home Missions in one of the newer states. Joseph Pulsifer close beside the Baptist church, though blind, can quote accurately a great many passages from the Bible. It is to him the Book of books, bringing a light within, though the outer world be dark. The families of Hamiltons have long served the town and none of them better than Dr. Darwin Hamilton. He was a man of excellent judgment, long president of the National Bank, and often called to preside at town meetings.
William G. Avery, grandson of Deacon Joseph, has made himself useful to many in the service of both the National and Savings Banks. By Marshall Field's special request he is president of the trustees to the new library.
Just east of the village, where Charles Parsons now lives, and one of our most delightful sites for a home, once lived Col. Charles Billings. He took delight in all public questions, and loved now and then to cross over to John Arms and discuss them. His family ranks among our best. A son, named Salter Storrs, for the illustrious Brooklyn preacher, through relationship on the mother's side, became a minister, preaching with success at Shelburne and Dalton, Mass., and also in Connecticut. Jerusha Billings married Prof. Bela B. Edwards, one of the distinguished teachers in Andover Theological Seminary. Mary Billings married Rev. Ogden Dwight, and went with him as missionary to India. After his death, she became the wife of Rev. Myron Winslow, a missionary there of note. Elizabeth married Rev. Hiram Mead, pastor at South Hadley and then a professor at Oberlin. Mrs. Mead was president of Mount Holyoke Seminary and College, for ten years.
There are still others, born in Conway, who have been emi- nent for their usefulness. One was Rev. H. G. O. Dwight, D.D., long time missionary at Constantinople. He worked especially for the Armenians, who have recently been called to great sufferings, for their love of Christ. Dr. Dwight must have been an indefatigable worker to have written so much for publica- tion amid his many missionary cares. One of his books was
-

about the revival of Christianity in the East. That prince of biographers, Professor Park, would not have written his life, had it not been one of very great usefulness. He was born here in 1803; studied at Hamilton College; went as missionary in 1830 and died, through a railroad accident, when on a visit to this country, in 1862.
I have reason to be grateful for another of Conway's noble men, Rev. Dexter Clary. He was superintendent of Home Missions in Wisconsin, when I began my ministry on its western side. We soon formed a little church of twenty-three members at Sparta, and he made the long journey round, I think, by the north part of Illinois to aid in organizing it, and preach my installation sermon. When, a little later, we had erected quite a nice church, he came again and preached the dedication sermon. I remember him as an able preacher and very genial, benevolent man, doing a noble work for that growing state. At his first visit there were only three Congregational ministers, besides myself, in the west part of the state. Two of these had come nearly forty miles, and the other about thirty, to help form our church. We five ministers were just finishing breakfast and Mr. Clary was then to start back for his home at Beloit, when he said: "Oh, I have a present for you in my satchel. I put my hand in a missionary box, before starting, and drew it out for you." He rose and brought quite a small package. Undoing it, we saw four jackknives. He gave one to each, and said: "Now, boys, cut your way through the world."
We have by no means exhausted the list of ministers and wives of ministers furnished by Conway. And in other depart- ments of useful labor she has been exceedingly serviceable. Hon. Harvey Rice, LL.D., a grandson of the first settler, Cyrus Rice, became an editor and distinguished man of letters in Cleveland, Ohio. He published several books of travel and of poetry, and was the poet of our Centennial celebration. Mr. Rice was graduated at Williams College in 1824 and in 1867 gave to his Alma Mater the now famous Haystack Monument in Mission Park to commemorate the birthplace of American foreign missions. In 1898 the citizens of Cleveland erected a bronze statue to his memory as the "Father of the Ohio School System."
236
HISTORY OF CONWAY.
Another distinguished son of Conway, now almost forgotten, is Chester Harding, the portrait painter. He was born Septem- ber 1, 1792, in the South Part of Conway on the old road leading to Whately Glen. He painted portraits for many of the royal families in Europe and the most distinguished citizens in this country. A Harding portrait of the Earl of Aberdeen hangs in the Memorial dining room at Harvard College. His last work was a portrait of General Sherman, painted in 1866. He died the same year in Boston.
How came so many noble lives to originate here? Let me just name three of our principal causes, used of God, to accom- plish the great work.
First, and foremost, was an able and faithful ministry. I knew best some of its Congregational ministers. And yet when a boy, I felt the force of special revival meetings at the Baptist church. Even Mr. Emerson's pastorate left in my mind a distinct impression, through what my mother used to tell of her girlhood. Not only were the young drilled upon the cate- chism, but they wrote papers, to be read publicly. They were deeply interested in the church and its pastor, if I may judge by what my mother said, and by her own character. Conway has been blessed, from the first, with an able and faithful ministry. The fruits of their unremitting toil can now be pointed out, and distinctly seen all over the town. All through the early and middle portions of our history the Sabbath was regarded generally as a sacred day set apart for spiritual improvement. Most of our Sabbath audiences scattered to quiet homes, among the hills, where they could reflect upon what they had seen and heard on this best day of all the week. The plants of righteousness springing up from the good seed had a chance to take root. Here, then, is one chief instru- mentality in producing, as God intended, character of fine quality in almost all our homes.
I name, as another cause, the very ruggedness of our hills and rockiness of our farms, mingling with the lovely views seen from their hillsides. Ride from the two or three churches, at the center, in almost any direction, and you will find many a hill hard to ascend or descend, ere you reach the town limits. For a century and a third, our children have had experience
237

of clambering up and down these stony, steep hills in coming to church or going out of the village. Their muscles have grown strong, and ability to do good honest work perseveringly has been cultivated by the abundant rocks all over our farms. But, with Conway's ruggedness, comes her charming beauty of scenery. Those who know all about the attractiveness of Williamstown, Lenox, Stockbridge, Lanesboro, and other towns in Berkshire County feel that many of our views are as fine. Take a ride to Broomshire, a little beyond Brainard Graves', look east from Samuel Clary's, climb the Arms Hill and ride on for half a mile. Look north and east from the top of Field's Hill, or go down to where Lincoln Clark once lived near Francis Howland's, ride along by Charles Allis's, then climb the ascent back of Levi Lee's. If you have any poetry in your soul, any admiration for God's handiwork in nature, you will be abun- dantly rewarded for rides about Conway, with this one object in view. Our fathers appreciated this beauty. Many early sites of houses were evidently selected to command these best views and often before the house there was set a fine row of shade trees, now grown venerable. This bold outline of hill and valley impressed itself silently upon lives which I have been trying to call back from the already shadowy past.
Now add to a faithful ministry, and to the physical features of the town, a third influence, tending to form strong and noble character. I refer to the value put upon good education in Conway's past history. Schools have been a care from the first. Within three months of incorporation the town appointed a committee to select a teacher, and provide a place for a school. Such first schools were held in private houses. After six years a fairly good sized schoolhouse was erected, near the first church. The older boys and girls and even young men and women came, we are told, from all parts of the town to this school, in which those early settlers thought about having Latin and Greek taught. Even this desire proves the high estimate they put upon a thorough education. The select school of Deacon John Clary, continued for twelve years from 1851, had a strong influence in making the people intelligent and ambitious to be useful. Conway Academy was started in 1853 and, when the building was destroyed by fire ten years later, hardly a year
238
HISTORY OF CONWAY.
was suffered to pass before another building was erected in its place. We have seen evidence that here and there a son was sent away to college near the beginning of the century. John Avery went to Yale, Harvey Rice to Williams, H. G. O. Dwight to Hamilton, and Henry Bannister to Wesleyan previous to 1840. When Amherst College was founded in 1821, Conway citizens contributed about twenty-five hundred dollars, and when Mount Holyoke Seminary was founded in 1837, Conway sent fourteen hundred dollars. Imperfect records show that over forty of Conway's young people have graduated from colleges besides an almost innumerable number who have taken various courses of study beyond the high school grade.
We have taken a brief and imperfect survey of a little more than the first one hundred years in the history of our town. Have not causes which I have named worked out truly stupen- dous results? Many other towns in Western Massachusetts may perhaps equal them. I have not tried to promote town pride, but to encourage a fidelity to our duties, like that shown by the generations which have gone before us. Such splendid results in the past ought to make present workers for God hopeful and energetic. As bright children will be born in the future as in the century now closing. We have good ministers, good schools, and shall soon have a large and well-equipped library. Our homes are far more pleasing and commodious than they were a hundred years ago. Heaven's rich blessing will surely attend now, as in the past, all hearty efforts to build worthy character and keep bright our fair names as a nobly useful town.

Family Genealogies.
REVISED AND ARRANGED BY MISS ADA PATRICK.
The genealogy of the families that came here in the first hundred years has been gathered from the town records, family Bibles, published and unpublished genealogical records, from descendants of the original settlers, and from various obscure places. In this work the ancestors of the first settlers in the town have been traced back to the original immigrant, which has required a vast amount of investigation and considerable correspondence. The genealogies here given are as correct as we have been able to procure. No work of this kind was ever printed without mistakes, and we hope to be pardoned for ours.
To assist in tracing the various lines of descent, the sons who became heads of families residing in Conway are marked with an asterisk (*).
