Major William Keith in those days kept the American House. He was a landlord by nature and entertained Rufus Choate, R. H. Dana, General Butler, General Devens, and many other distinguished men. He had great business tal- ents, and had great influence in Greenfield. He was largely concerned in securing the erection of Washington hall, and the introduction of the water supply from Leyden glen, as important a thing as was ever done to forward the prosperity of Greenfield. He was also concerned in the construction of
1201
SAMUEL O. LAMB'S LECTURES
the highway to Turners Falls. I served on the committees with Major Keith for both these undertakings. He went to the legislature, and was a man whose advice was greatly sought in all matters. He was president of the Franklin County Bank eleven years, and at the time of his death- in 1881.
George W. Potter was a man of great natural ability, whose counsel was much sought after in all town affairs. He built the dam at Turners Falls in 1866. He was not an engineer by trade, but had a marked talent for such work. While the dam was being built, a part of it was washed away, and the engineers who looked at it said it could not be replaced. He said it could ; it was, and the excellence of his judgment is shown in the fact that the dam has stood all these years, and has held water. His case is one of those where men without education become deeply devoted to music, particularly to that of the violin. In his younger days he used often to walk miles to play for a dance. He would take a bushel of rye for his pay, and would walk home with the rye on his back.
Mr. Lamb then spoke of Thomas, Lucius and Albert H. Nims, farmers of remarkable learning. He then spoke further of Henry W. Clapp, whom he characterized as one of the noble men of Greenfield. Mr. Clapp said there were two things he had never done, he had never taken more than 6 per cent interest and never raised rent on a tenant. Mr. Clapp was considered a rich man when he came to Greenfield, and he kept a horse and carriage. Afterward he noticed that others were keeping carriages whom he did not believe could afford the expense. Rather than feel that any were being led into extravagance in order to imitate his example, he sold his carriage and used often to appear driving around in a common express wagon.
Barnard A. Newell was a man of enterprise who promoted the expansion of Greenfield and who made money in stage

coaching in the South. He built a house on the road to Bernardston, and set out many pine trees after a fashion of that time. He was a candidate for representative against Whiting Griswold, Democrat, and James Avery, Labor, in a contest that required balloting at several different days, and then being no choice. Mr. Lamb spoke of Samuel and Frank Boylston, who made the best baby carriages then manufactured in the United States, and of F. A. Birge & Co., who made chairs built to use, not to sell, and one solid old chair of whose make is in Mr. Lamb's office now. He spoke of John Russell, who started the cutlery shop at Cheapside, of Franklin Ripley, cashier of the Greenfield bank, a man of great business capacity. Mr. Ripley was judge of the Pro- bate and was particularly considerate of the widows who asked his judgment. Few men have had more qualities of the good judge than he.
Mr. Lamb gave a very interesting reminiscence of the times of the draft excitement during the war. There were rumors that fires would be started in the "tough end," as it was called, and that while the public interest was diverted in that direction the drafting office would be raided, papers destroyed, and perhaps even more than that done. Mr. Lamb was out of town when this rumor started, but as he was driving home he met a man who told him the story. He came home to find the town in a state of great excitement. There had been a fire, but men had been stationed armed with pistols at all the churches, and the attempt to ring the bells had to be given up. George W. Potter was the guiding spirit of the meeting of citizens that was called to consider the situation. A hundred men were drafted as special constables, and armed with a big club, Mr. Lamb was one of many who patrolled the village. Mr. Potter showed on that occasion all the traits necessary for a good general. The night passed off with but little alarm.
Mr. Lamb referred to Lucius Dickinson, who lived on the
1203
JOHN E. RUSSELL
site of the Baptist Church. No male party was considered complete without songs from Mr. Dickinson. He spoke briefly of others, and closed by saying that the men of earlier days were intelligent, public-spirited, did their work well, and that it is very fitting in this anniversary time that their work be recalled.
JOHN E. RUSSELL
John E. Russell, the son of John and Juliana (Witmer) Russell, was born in Greenfield, January 20, 1834. He pre- pared for entrance to Yale under the tuition of a relative, Rev. Henry Jones, whose school at Leicester Mr. Russell attended. He found there attractions which caused him to make it his place of residence after retiring from business life, and at his home there he died, October 27, 1903. Although Greenfield had not been his residence since his arrival at man's estate he always had relatives, and for many years business interests, which drew him frequently to the place of his birth.
Mr. Russell was deeply interested in matters relating to the progress of his native town, and often after a sojourn in foreign lands would give in the parish house of St. James Church a delightful informal talk to the towns-people. He was interested in the Panama railroad and the Pacific mail-line and spent several years of early manhood upon the isthmus. He was also in confidential relations with Ben Holiday in the early overland mail contracts, and a frequent contributor to the New York papers. Devoted to scientific agricultural pursuits he served with great acceptance as secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture. One term in Congress was sufficient for him, as he heartily disliked the services members of that body are expected to perform for their con- stituents.
He became the democratic candidate for governor in 1893, and 1894 and received very flattering votes. A man of strong prejudices, with high ideals of personal honor, he was
1204
JOHN E. RUSSELL
a knight errant in the field of politics. Keen to discover a flaw in the armor of his opponent, he plied his sharp wit and raillery to unhorse his victim. A most interesting debater, his canvass of the state during his gubernatorial candidacy gave him a broad acquaintance, and his flashes of wit and wisdom enter- tained and influenced large audiences.
Mr. Cleveland, during his second administration, offered Mr. Russell a cabinet position. This was not accepted and the collectorship of the port of Boston and appointments as minister to Spain and to Italy were also declined ; but Mr. Russell did accept a position as member of the Deep Water Ways Commission, and acting as clerk of the commission wrote a most interesting and exhaustive report upon inland navigation.
On account of ill health he took a lengthy European vaca- tion, but obtained little relief ; the organic weakness of his heart still continuing obliged him to retire from the active duties of life in which he had borne so conspicuous a part.
A few years since he delivered an address before the Po- cumtuck Valley Memorial Association upon the life and times of the late John Russell, which was of great value and interest. He delivered many addresses upon local history- the Centennial Celebration at Leicester in 1876, an address before the Orasko Historical Society in Spencer in 1897, wrote a paper upon the Irrigation of the Nile Valley, and made many other contributions to literature. Perhaps the most interesting to the people of his native town are his letters read at our first " Old Home Week " and at the Sesquicentennial of Greenfield. By his death the state loses a brilliant mind but this community loses an old and true friend.
