Ebenezer D. Draper, and Anna, his wf., hecame religiously interested in my ministry while I was pastor of the First Chi. in Mendon. They then res. in Ux., but were constant attendants and communicants. Afterwards they moved to Saugus. When I projected the Community at Hopedale, they heartily en- tered into the undertaking, became original members, joined myself and family there, about the first of April, 1842, in the "Old House," and were main pil- lars in the institution until its decadence; he being some yrs. its president, next in succession to myself. After he and his bro. George decided on the disso- lution of its unitary financial and industrial organization, in 1856, they com- bined their accumulated capital, and prosecuted their business, with augment- ing success, through a series of years; but at length E. D. embarked in the American Steam Fire-proof Safe Co. in Boston. Meantime Mrs. Anna became the suffering victim of an incurable cancerous affection on the breast, from which she d. Jan. 30, 1870, universally heloved and lamented. Her hus. almost immediately afterward moved to Boston, soon disposing of his property here, and investing it largely in the new enterprise. This proved unsuccessful, and swallowed up much of his capital; but he bore his adversities with commend- able resignation, and fell back on religious consolation. Subsequently he formed a second marriage connection, uniting with Mrs. Mary (Parker) Boynton; cer. Oct. 18, 1872, by Rev. Lewis L. Briggs. The union seems to be a happy one, and they are living in comfortable circumstances at Boston Highlands. Mr. Draper will long be remembered for the numerous and liberal donations he dis- pensed in the days of his prosperity.

George Draper began the world with an empty purse, but was richly endowed with mechanical genius, ambitious enterprise, shrewd intelligence, sound business judgment, and indomitable persistency of purpose. With these, and the faithful co-operation of a wf. rich in all the qualities necessary to match and complement his own, he has successfully risen to wealth and dis- tinction. He is still vigorously pushing his fortune, finding abundant oppor- tunities to dispense liberally to public and private charities from the treasury of his large accumulations; and he has the high satisfaction of seeing his chil- dren well launched on the same sea of prosperous social and business enter-

It will be seen in the chapter on the War-Record, that, at the opening of the Rebellion, he enlisted as a private in Co. B, Regt. 25, Mass. Vols. Such was his ability and gallantry that he rose through the various official grades to Lieut. Col. Commandant, and, at the close of the war, was breveted Brig. Gen. He was m. to his accomplished wf. in the 2d yr. of the great conflict, and she visited him at three several times while he was out in the service, - the third time to min- ister to him when bitterly suffering from his dangerous wound in Washington Hospital. That wound was received in the battle of the Wilderness, and was caused by a minie-ball, which had to be extracted from his left shoulder, under the blade, near the spine. The missile is preserved. Its damaging effects will doubtless remain through life. Immediately after the war he went into suc- cessful business with his father in the manufacture of cotton and woollen machinery. In 1873 he and his wf. made the tour of Europe. They are now on the flood-tide of prosperity, raising up a promising family of chn., and uni- versally respected for the urbanity of their manners, as well as their solid worth and their successful career in life.

DUTCHER. This is a comparatively new and rare name in Mil., but one clustered with interesting biographical associations. Warren Whitney Dutcher, with his wf. and two chn., removed from No. Bennington, Vt., to Hopedale in the spring of 1856. How this came about, and the results, may be briefly told. He was endowed with a strong mechanical genius. He had a bro. with a simi- lar endowment, whose name was Elihu C. Dutcher. This bro. was an ordained Baptist minister, who, nevertheless, worked much at the wagon-making busi- ness, as a means of greater independence and pecuniary competence. He preached several yrs. in Pownal, Vt., and afterwards in Williamstown, Mass., besides some incidental itinerary ministrations. In 1847 he closed his ministry, removed to No. Bennington, and attended chiefly to mechanical pursuits. In 1850 the two bros. together invented and patented the somewhat famous "Dutcher Temple." They jointly engaged in the manufacture of their valu- able temples, and prosecuted the same with promising success till 1854. Then E. D. and G. Draper of Hopedale purchased Rev. Elihu's interest in the business. They subsequently arranged with Warren to remove hither with his family and manufacturing machinery. Elihu at once bought himself a valuable

farm in Waukesha, Wis., and removed thither, but, sad to say, d. of Asiatic cholera the second day after his arrival there.
Here Warren took up his res., May 20, 1856, and prosecuted the manu- facture of temples in connection with the Drapers, -he as managing agent at home, and they as selling agents abroad. The business proved eminently suc- cessful, and has continued to augment in importance down to the present time, taking on, stage after stage, most valuable improvements. In 1867 the present Dutcher Temple Company became a regular legal corporation. In 1868 George . Draper and son succeeded E. D. and G. Draper in the selling department, the manufacturing agency remaining as before. The result of this is, that W. W. Dutcher arose to wealth and distinction among ns; and it is not too much to say that he and his family richly deserve the high respect accorded them where- ever known. In every good cause and work he and his excellent wf. have been generous contributors to the relief and elevation of humanity. Their genealogy is as follows : -
Three immigrant Dutchers, bros., are understood to have come from Hol- land, and set. near New-York City. One of these had a son named Gabriel. He was gt. gd. fr. to our Warren W.

After the foregoing had been written, and submitted to Mr. Dutcher's critical revision, his health seriously failed, and he sank into a long decline of more than a yr. The disease proved fatal. In spite of all that medical skill, faithful nursing, and affectionate domestic ministration could possibly do, he wasted away, till exhausted nature sank to rest at 6.30 o'clock, A.M., Jan. 26, 1880. He bore his sickness with great fortitude, patience, and even cheerful- ness. An autopsy showed it to have been a peculiar kind of internal cancerous development, affecting his stomach, liver, and kidneys, for which there was no cure. His funeral was solemnized on Friday of the same week, Jan. 30, and was marked by every demonstration which could express the universal love, respect, and honor in which he was held by all classes of his acquaintances. Rich and poor vied with each other in manifestations of profound esteem and sorrow. His remains repose in Pine-grove Cemetery, and his memory is blessed. See his likeness in its place.

EAMES, PHINEHAS 5 (Timothy,4 Henry,8 John,2 Thomas1). I am not quite certain that this lineage is correct, but believe it is. I have deduced it from Barry's genealogy of the Eames families in his " History of Framing- ham." The only ground of mistake, if any, lies in the possibility that our Phinehas is not the one he names as a son of Timothy. He makes that Phinehas to have been b. May 14, 1766, and says he m. Jane How of Sud- bury, 1788. Our Phinehas, according to his death-date and age on grave- stone, should have been b. 1763. Barry states, without reference to pedigree, that Phinehas Eames and Izanna Jones, both of Fram., were m. July, 1790. This was certainly our Phinehas; and, though the record is quoted by itself, disconnected from lineage, I infer that the two Phinehases he mentions are really one and the same. If so, the discrepancy of 3 yrs. in birth-date may be owing to errors of record or memory, and not uncom- mon. But again, if so, our Phinehas may have been m. to Jane How in 1788, and lost her by death, before he was in. to Izanna Jones in July, 1790. I mention these particulars, so that the descendants of our Phinehas may understand how I fixed his lineage, and may rectify my mistake, if I have made any. I assume, however, that I am correct. I have also assumed that Thomas Eames of Dedham, who set. there before 1641, was the ancestral English immigrant of this lineage, and therefore proceed.

Precisely when Mr. Eames came into town I have not ascertained. He was certainly taxed here in 1795, and prob. moved hither at an earlier date. He was a cabinet-maker by trade, and located himself on what is now called Cortland St., the ancient Joseph Sumner place, where James Batchelder, the stone-cutter, recently dwelt. The old house and cabinet-shop were burnt down during the night of March 31, 1799, and 3 persons perished in the flames; viz., Jotham Hayward, Charles Turner, and Elijah Eames, eldest son of Phinehas. His fellow-townsmen were so sympathetic with him under his distressing loss, that they voluntarily assessed themselves $300 as a donation to him, to aid him in rebuilding. Soon after this afflictive event Mrs. Izanna joined the Cong. Ch., and had all her then living chn. bap. by Rev. Mr. Long. The family had a good social and moral standing. Mrs. Izanna d. May 15, 1833, a. 62 yrs. Mr. Phinehas d. Dec. 13, 1845, a. 82 yrs.
