THE ANDERSON FAMILY
Among the Andersons who were identified with the early history of Holland are found the names of Timothy and Wil- liam, who were grandsons of the first John Anderson. They were born in Holland but there are no records extant to show whose sons they were, only they were not the sons of David, neither is there anything to show what became of them except a family tradition that some of the descendants of the first John Anderson migrated to the great west and settled in what was then a wilderness. It is quite probable that Timothy and William were among the number, and as means of communica- tion were, in the early days, both meager and difficult, it is not strange that in course of time all traee of them should be lost. There are many Andersons now living in the west who were early pioneers to that section and who traee their aneestry back to Massachusetts where, in most cases, it becomes indefinite. Wherever found in the west the Andersons have shown that spirit of energy and enterprise in the progress and welfare of the country which is typical of early life in New England.
There are many ineidents of early life in Holland that have come down from generation to generation; among others it is related that Mary, wife of the first John Anderson, went to the pasture one day for the cows when she discovered a large bear quietly sleeping in a fence corner not far from her. It is unnecessary to say that Mary retreated rapidly without disturbing the peaceful slumbers of Sir Bruin, but what became of him after that the incident does not seem to relate. None of his descendants appear to be living in Holland at the present day.
Church going was considered a Christian duty and a reli- gious obligation. John and Mary Anderson attended church serviee in Monson, going on horse baek, and were very regular in attendance. With all the plain living and hard struggles of those ancient days, the early settlers of Holland found time to build ehurehes, sehools, highways, and even the old stone walls that are now giving way to the ugly looking wire fenees. They were a sturdy, law-abiding people prosperous and happy on their farms, devoted to their church and loyal to their country. Railroads, steamboats and automobiles had not come to disturb their quiet lives or to lure them from the old homestead. Al-

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
though those times seem long, long ago when we look back front our present journey of life, yet we have an abiding love stretch- ing all the way back to the scenes which have been portrayed to us in story as we gathered around the hearthstone of the old home and have never been forgotten. We still treasure those memories as a sacred tie connecting the present with the past. The sons and daughters who have gone out from the dear old town eling fondly to this home love that neither time nor distance can efface and which grows stronger and dearer with the passing years. We look upon the same old hills and vales where our ancestors lived and died, and we bow with reverence over the grassy mounds underneath which they peacefully sleep in the old cemetery, hallowed ground, from which our thoughts turn sadly back, across the "bridge of yesterday," to the old homestead and to the life that once was there.
"Blest be the tie that binds."

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
THE BACK' FAMILY By Harry E. Back
The first records of the Back family in this country are found in the vicinity of Preston, Connecticut. George, Daniel, Elijah and Judah Back, perhaps all brothers, served in the French and Indian wars from this locality. George and Judah Back were of the same company, Judah serving from May 17 to November 20, 1758, under Colonel Samuel Coit, of Preston, in the Second Regiment; George from April 2 to October 15 of the same year (see Vol. II. French and Indian War Rolls, Conn. Hist. Society.) Daniel Baek served in 1755 in Stonington, Preston and vicinity. Elisha and Simeon Back were soldiers in the Revolution. Evidently Judah was the only one to remain in Connecticut, and for a time all of the family lived in Con- necticut except the family of his son Judah.
(1). Lieutenant Judah Back, the first of this family, was a soldier in the French and Indian war in 1758, and was born in 1737. He settled at Hampton, Connecticut, and died there. He married Priscilla Gates, December 30, 1761, at Hampton, and she also died in that town. She was born in 1740.
(II.) Judah (2), son of Lieutenant Judah (1) Back, was born August 26, 1768, in that portion of Hampton, Connecticut, that is now the town of Chaplin. He was a farmer. He settled at length in Holland, Massachusetts, and became the owner of considerable land there. In stature he was small, but very energetic and successful. He married, November 22, 1801, at Hampton, Elizabeth Abbee or Abbey, of an old Windham County family. She died at Holland when over 90 years old.
(III.) Lucius, son of Judah (2) Back, was born at Hamp- ton, Connecticut, May 26, 1803, died at Holland, Massachusetts, September 18, 1879. He came to Holland with his parents when only four years old. He was a very extensive farmer for his time, was industrious and energetic, blessed with good health, and attained success. In politics he was a Democrat, but never an office-seeker. He was grand juror for his town several times.

446
THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
trict, in Union. He remained at school until he was twenty-one years of age, and after that assisted his father in his agricul- tural and lumbering interests. For a time he worked at Colt's Armory at Hartford. March 27, 1862, he went to Mashapaug, a village and school distriet in the town of Union, and purchased an interest in the mattress faetory and grist mill in association with Albert E. Weld. The firm name was Weld & Baek, Mr. Weld having previously been the proprietor of the business. This business was the manufacturing of excelsior mattresses and run- ning of a grist mill. It continued in a flourishing condition until destroyed by fire, October, 1864, which brought great loss to the owners and to the industrial interests in the community.
After his retirement from the mill, Mr. Baek, until 1908, was actively engaged in farming and the management of this lumber business. He was one of the leaders in this line in the town, which is a pine lumber section. He owned hundreds of acres of timber beth in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and occupied himself with his lumbering during the winter and his farming and dairying interests in the summer. He had about seventy-five aeres under cultivation and in pasture. In 1865 he built his Union residenee and lived there until 1908, when he built a house in Southbridge and removed to the latter town. Since 1908 he has disposed of his large holdings of real estate in Union, Holland and Sturbridge. In politics Mr. Baek has for many years been a prominent Republican. In the term of 1891- 92 he represented his town in the legislature and served through the noted dead-loek session. He was a member of the agrieul- tural committee, was constant in his attendance, and stood faith- fully by his party during the continual eontests of that exciting two years' session. In 1907 he again represented the town and served on the roads and bridges committee. He has also been assessor, constable, tax eolleetor and upon the board of relief. From 1890 to 1906 he served as clerk and treasurer of the Union Congregational Church, of which he is a consistent member. He was a member of Mashapaug Grange, No. 101. He has always shown a publie-spirited interest in all matters pertaining to the progress and advancement of his section.
He married, August 31, 1863, in the village of Thorndike, town of Palmer, Massachusetts, Harriet Cutler, daughter of

For nearly a year he lived in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, and when his health was restored, opened an office at Athol Massachusetts, 1898, and carried on a large practice there until 1903. He was considered one of the reputable, reliable and leading lawyers of · northwestern Worcester county. November, 1903, he went to the Pacific coast and has spent most of time since at Vancouver, Washington, where he has made for himself a position of emin- ence as an advocate, attorney and counsellor. In 1908 he was elected city attorney. In 1912, he was elected judge of the Superior Court for Clarke County, Washington, for a term of four years. While a student at the Boston University Law School he was for two years one of the school's librarians. He was a charter member of and one of the first presidents of The Park Street Club, connected with the Park Street Church, in Boston. As a young man he had served as school visitor in Union, and in Boston had been one of the active forces in Repub- lican politics in Ward 10. In Boston and Athol he directed his political efforts to placing others in office, rather than seeking
