JOEL, s. of Joel (5), b. 1808 ; printer ; sett. in Albany ; widely cele- brated as a publisher of historical and genealogical books, and is himself the author of a considerable number of similar works. "He is remembered by his school mates as a " smart, lively boy ;" that he was prompt and ener- getic, is shown by this current anecdote. In 1825, Jona. A. Saxton, late of Deerfield, was publishing at Greenfield, the " Franklin Post and Christian Freeman ;"' late one evening Joel heard of a vacancy in this office, and at once determined to make application for it ; knowing that delays are dangerous, he walked down to Greenfield, some 12 miles, early in the following morning, and secured the coveted place of printer's devil, and returned on foot the same day. At this office he commenced to learn his trade, and in little more than a year's time, filled the highest position in the office.
