HISTORY OF NORFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

JOSIAH WARE.

Josiah Ware is descended in a direct line from Robert Ware, husbandman, who, we are informed by a record prepared by W. B. Trask, of Dorchester, settled in that part of Dedham, Mass., afterwards . called Wrentham. He was one of the original pro- prietors of lands granted June 12, 1642; was made freeman May 26, 1647 ; was a member of the artillery company in 1644, and died April 19, 1699. He is ' referred to on the town records as " Robert Ware the aged," and his name stands second, in point of wealth, on the tax list of that period. He was one of six who were " impressed, by virture of a warrant from ye major" in Dedham, to serve in the King Philip war. His estate was appraised by his administrators at £250 2s. 10d. This Robert Ware (1) married Mar- garet Hunting ; their children were John, Nathaniel, Robert, Esther, Samuel, Ephraim, Ebenezer. Of these, Nathaniel (2), whose wife was named Mary, was born Oct. 7, 1649; died July 1, 1724. Their children were five sons and three daughters. One of the sons, Josiah (3), was born in Wrentham, March 21, 1707. Soon after arriving at the age of man- hood he went to Needham, purchased a tract of un- cultivated land, which he improved and cultivated, and on which he resided till his death, 1798. He married Lydia Macintire, Jan. 7, 1741. Their chil- dren were Josiah, Elijah, Lydia, Elijah (2). His second wife was Dorothy Dewen, by whom he had Asa, Dorothy, Joseph, and Daniel. His third wife was Mehitable Whitney, by whom he had Mehitable and William. His fourth wife was Sibel Robinson. By this marriage there was no issue. Of these ten children some of them attained positions of promi- nence and were men of note in their day. Asa fought ; under Gen. Lee, and lost a hand at the battle of Mon- mouth. He was deacon of the Congregational Church at Wrentham nearly forty years. Joseph was a farmer, and at the commencement of the war of the Revolu- tion he entered the army and served through the war, was at the battles of Concord and Ticonderoga, and acted as orderly-sergeant and recruiting officer. He was one of the soldiers who engaged in 1775, under Col. Benedict Arnold, in the disastrous expedition against Quebec. During this expedition he suffered almost incredible hardships, as is shown by a journal which he kept, and which has since been published. Daniel, another son, passed two short terms of service | in the army as orderly sergeant, and afterwards filled various public offices in Needham.

Josiah (4), the eldest son, and ancestor of the Josiah whose portrait accompanies this sketch, was born in Needham, Sept. 15, 1742. He removed when young to Wrentham, married Lois, daughter of Elisha and Phebe Ware, June 8, 1770. He was a very worthy man, and an industrious, enterprising farmer, and was one of the building committee for erecting the first church in North Wrentham. His children were Rhoda (died young), Eunice, (married Daniel Cook), Josiah, Elisha, Lucy (married Benjamin Rock- wood), Darius, and Lois (married Josiah Codding). He died Oct. 23, 1836.

Josiah (5) was brought up on the farm, but also learned shoemaking. He married Mehitable Richard- son, daughter of Eli Richardson, of Franklin (now Norfolk), and removed to Oxford, Mass. There their only child, Josiah (6), was born, Dec. 12, 1812; and when he was but six years of age, Mrs. Ware died. Mr. Ware then went west to New York State,, where he married again, and a few years later died. Young Josiah was adopted into the family of his uncle, Daniel Cook, of Wrentham, where he received a common- school education, and was brought up to work on the farm. The abundance of out-door exercise in his youth assisted in laying the foundation for a very vigorous constitution, and to-day, at upwards of seventy years, he looks as though he had cheated old Father Time out of at least twenty years. He is one of the best-preserved men of his years in Norfolk County, or perhaps in the State. Upon attaining his majority he left Mr. Cook and hired out to work on a neigh- boring farm one year, at the expiration of which time he returned to Mr. Cook. In his twenty-fourth year he married Patty M., daughter of Enoch and Betsey Blake, of Wrentham.

He then purchased a small farm in Wrentham and engaged in agriculture, in addition to which he also did a great deal of lumbering and teaming of various kinds, and gradually but surely built up his little fortune. In December, 1860, Mrs. Ware died, leav- ing no issue. Mr. Ware married as his second wife, January, 1862, Ann Blake, sister of his first consort.

When the Norfolk County Railroad (now New York and New England Railroad) was built, Mr. Ware was appointed its first agent at Norfolk Station, a position which he has held to the present time through all changes of administration and manage- ment. In order to be convenient to his business he purchased land adjacent to the depot, and erected a dwelling-house and out-buildings. At this place he has continued to reside to the present time.

In addition to his duties as railroad agent he has carried on farming, teaming, and lumbering somewhat

extensively, and at one time did a very considerable livery business. He is at present doing a large lumber business in copartnership with C. J. Murphy, a young man whom Mr. Ware brought up from the age of thirteen.

In political matters Mr. Ware has always taken a liberal and broad stand, voting for the man rather than the party. He has devoted himself to his busi- ness, and avoided all office-seeking, although he has consented to fill a number of minor positions.

He has been a remarkably energetic and industrious man, public-spirited and enterprising in all matters pertaining to the public weal and welfare of his town. And when any matter of public improvement has been undertaken, he has always stood ready to do his part, and more.

An instance will serve to illustrate the character of the man. When it was proposed to erect a town house, an old church was tendered by the parish as a

building suitable for the purpose when properly re- paired. It was the old house where from his boy- hood Mr. Ware had attended church, and his rever- ence for the ancient and venerable structure was such, and his desire for its preservation, that he took a very active part, and gave of his means substantial aid toward having it repaired and remodeled. He was chairman of the building committee, and when com- pleted he placed therein, at his own expense, an ele- gant and valuable tower clock, which will tell the hour to the passer-by for many a year, and stand as a striking example of Mr. Ware's generous nature. This is but one of many liberal deeds, but it is illus- trative.

Mr. Ware enjoys to an eminent degree the confi- dence of his fellow-townsmen, and is one of the few representatives of the ancient and honorable pioneer families of this section who converted the wilderness into the blooming garden and fruitful field.

APPENDIX.

THE NORFOLK CLUB.

BY A. E. SPROUL.

THE Norfolk Club was organized on March 15, 1884, at Young's Hotel, in Boston, by gentlemen representing the Republican party of Norfolk County. It was the result of a movement which had been begun only a few weeks before, but which, from the very start, had met with almost unexampled favor among the class of gentlemen whom it was designed to interest in its welfare. At one or two previous gatherings of the projectors of the club a preliminary organization had been effected, and a committee was appointed to issue a "call" for a dinner and report a plan for permanent organization. Upwards of one hundred and twenty-five gentlemen having assem- bled in one of the hotel parlors, therefore, previous to the dinner, the president pro tempore, Maj. J. H. Gould, of Medfield, called them to order, and intro- duced Mr. George Fred Williams, of Dedham, chair- man of the committee before mentioned. Mr. Wil- liams briefly summarized the previous doings of the gentlemen who originated the organization, and then, on behalf of the committee, presented a series of by- laws and a list of permanent officers for the action of the gentlemen present. The by-laws, which were adopted after a brief discussion, were as follows :

" ARTICLE I. This Club shall be called the Norfolk Club, its object being for political and social purposes only.

"ARTICLE II. The officers shall consist of a president, ten vice-presi- dents, a secretary, a treasurer, and an executive committee of five mem- bers, who shall be elected at the first meeting held in each year.

" ARTICLE III. All recommendations or applications for membership shall be made to the executive committee in writing, and, if approved by them, shall be reported to the next regular meeting. Five votes in the negative shall exclude a candidate from admission.

" ARTICLE IV. An admission-fee of two dollars shall be paid by each new member, and the annual dues shall be one dollar each; and no person shall be entitled to membership until after payment of the same.

"ARTICLE V. Meetings of the Club shall be held at such times and places as the executive committee shall deem advisable, and notice to all members shall be sent by the secretary.

" ARTICLE VI. The executive committee shall have the general man- agement of the affairs of the Club, including invitations to guests; but this shall not exclude members from inviting friends."

The list of officers presented was also unanimously ratified, as follows: President, Asa French, of Brain- tree ; Vice-Presidents, Moses Williams, of Brookline, J. H. Gould, of Medfield, David W. Tucker, of Milton, John W. Candler, of Brookline, J. White Belcher, of Randolph, Frank M. Ames, of Canton, Warren E.

! Locke, of Norwood, Joseph G. Ray, of Franklin, Dr. W. E. C. Swan, of Stoughton, Albert Jennings, of | Wellesley; Secretary, George Fred Williams, of Dedham; Treasurer, Enos H. Tucker, of Needham ; Executive Committee, J. Walter Bradlee, of Milton, Charles H. Smith, of Dover, Warren W. Adams, of Quincy, H. A. Thomas, of Weymouth, Fred H. Wil- liams, of Foxborough.

At the conclusion of the business meeting the gen- tlemen adjourned to the dining-room. When cigars had been reached, in due course, Maj. Gould briefly introduced Mr. George Fred Williams, of Dedham, as the presiding officer of the occasion. The latter gentleman announced that members of the Middlesex and Massachusetts Clubs, who had been dining in the same hotel, had been invited to come in and join the Norfolk. A few moments later the gentlemen of the two clubs marched in, the Norfolk members rising and applauding loudly. The post-prandial exercises were participated in by well-known gentlemen of each of the three clubs, and were of a most interesting and jovial nature.

Hon. Asa French, the president of the new club, is a resident of South Braintree, where his home has been for many years. Never active in politics, he has given his best energies to the practice of his pro- fession,-the law. For a number of years he was district attorney for the southeastern district (com- prising Norfolk and Plymouth Counties), where he achieved a high professional distinction. Declining a seat upon the bench of the Superior Court, tendered him by Governor Long, he resigned his attorneyship in the fall of 1882 to accept an appointment as one of the judges of the Court of Alabama Claims in Wash- ington. Some years ago Mr. French represented the town of Braintree in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. His fitness for the presidency of the new club was immediately recognized.

The following gentlemen had signed the by-laws, and constituted themselves members of the club, up to the close of the club's second dinner, on April 12, 1884, on which occasion several State officials and other distinguished men were present as guests :

QUINCY.

The Quincy Patriot, which is the oldest paper in Norfolk County, was established in Quincy, Mass., Jan. 1, 1837, by Messrs. Green & Osborne. It was conducted only three months under this firm when Mr. Osborne retired, and Mr. John A. Green, the senior member, assumed the control, and it continued under his management the succeeding fourteen years.

In July, 1851, Mr. Green sold the Patriot to Messrs. Gideon F. Thayer and George White. These gentle- men being unacquainted with the printing business, found, notwithstanding the talent and ability they brought into their new field of labor, that the editing of a country paper was not a remunerative business, and after nine months of editorial honors Mr. Thayer sold his interest to Mr. White, who for the year fol- lowing labored hard, only to find, like his retiring partner, that his editorial labors were not a financial success.

Mr. Green again became its possessor, and-contin- ued its publication until his death, in 1861. At this time his widow assumed charge, and continued its publication until 1869, when Mr. George W. Pres- cott, who had been her business manager, entered into a partnership, and the Patriot has been con- ducted very successfully under their editorial labors, and has now a circulation unsurpassed by any other paper in the county.

When the Patriot was first published in 1837 it was a very diminutive sheet, being only twenty by thirty inches in size. When Messrs. Thayer & White became owners they increased the size to twenty-two by thirty- two inches. It remained this size until 1866, when it was enlarged to twenty-four by thirty-six inches.
