FLOYD, FREDERICK CLARK, of Boston, editor of the South Boston Bulletin, is a native of Maine, born in Saco, May 21, 1837, son of John and Pauline (Graffam) Floyd. His grandfather, Sam- uel Floyd, was a direct descendant of William Floyd, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and of Thomas Lloyd, who emi- grated from Wales in 1684, with William Penn. He was educated mainly in the Saco English High School, and relinquished a college course in 1861 to engage in the defence of the Union. Previous to that date he had acquired the trade of a ma- chinist, and had taught school three years. He

enlisted in April, 1861, as a private in Company H. Fortieth (Mozart) Regiment of New York Vol- unteers, and served as sergeant of his company from November 4, 1861, until 1863. While at the front he served as correspondent for the New York Times and the Maine Democrat of Saco. He participated in the siege of Yorktown, and in the battles of Bull Run, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, White Oak Swamp, Glendale, and Malvern Hill. In the latter engagement, being wounded, he was sent to Annapolis Hospital, and was subsequently honorably discharged from the army. Nearly twenty-five years later, in 1889, he was granted a

pension for disability contracted in the service. His regiment was one of the " fighting regiments " of the war, and stands twelfth in the list for num- ber of casualties. Over four thousand names are borne on its rolls, and it took part in thirty-two engagements and scores of skirmishes. Its losses numbered twelve hundred and sixty-five killed, wounded, and missing, two hundred and thirty- eight of whom were killed in battle. It was one of the few regiments which re-enlisted and held its organization until the end of the war. The losses of the regiment at Gettysburg were one hun- dred and fifty, twenty-three of whom were killed. Mr. Floyd returned from the war incapacitated for


physical labor, and consequently engaged in cleri- cal work. He was book-keeper and clerk until 1879, when he became the publisher and editor of the South Boston Inquirer, which he continued to publish until 1890. He then established the South Boston Bulletin, of which he is at present the editor and publisher. He is a member of the Mozart Regiment Association ; of Dahlgren Post, Department of Massachusetts, Grand Army of the Republic: of Archimedes Lodge, United American Workmen ; of the Suburban Press Asso- ciation, the Bostonian Society, the South Boston Citizens' Association, the Pine Tree State Club, and the Grand Army Club. In 1878 he was adjutant of N. B. Shurtleff, Jr., Post, No. 125, of the Grand Army. In politics he is a Republican ; but, while he has attended many conventions as a clelegate and been active at other political gather- ings, he has been too busy otherwise to accept publie office. He was married in Boston, March 19, 1863, to Miss Anna Belinda Luce, daughter of Oliver and Rebecca Luce, of Hermon, Me. They have had four children : Frederick Lincoln (who died in infancy), Frederick Gillan, Ira Waldo, and Edna Alice Floyd.


FREEMAN, GEORGE EDWARD, M.D., of Brock- ton, is a native of Maine, born in Brewer, June 22, 1841. He was the second son of Reuben and Nancy (Clarke) Freeman, in a family of six chil- dren, all of whom have filled positions of useful- ness and honor. He inherited from his parents a strong and vigorous constitution and a high ideal of what should constitute true manhood, two things that have been a great help to him in his life-work. His ancestry is traced, on his father's side, to three English brothers who came over to this country in the eighteenth century, one set- tling in Ohio and the other two in Eastern Massa- chusetts. A marked characteristic of their de- scendants has been a strong love for educational and professional life. Reuben Freeman, Dr. Freeman's father, was a successful teacher for many years, and a zealous advocate of educational progress and religious interests all his life. His services on the School Board and as justice of the peace where he resided for over twenty years made his opinions valuable, often to be sought and adopted. Dr. Freeman's mother was a daughter of Nathan and Naney Clarke, of Brewer, Me., a highly esteemed and worthy family, from whom


568


MEN OF PROGRESS.


she inherited superior qualities of character. By her strong sympathies and faithful teachings she early impressed upon her children the importance of making the most of life. Dr. Freeman made choice of his profession when a boy, and his studies were directed to this end. From boyhood he has manifested a noticeable degree of energy and perseverance ; and he took high rank, not only in the public schools of his native town, which he first attended, but through all his career as a stu- dent. At seventeen years of age he began teach- ing, and met with marked success. His prepara- tory course was completed at Hampden Academy,

Me., after which he began his professional studies, starting with Dr. McRuer, an eminent surgeon of Bangor, Me. Soon after he entered the medical department of Bowdoin College. He was a dili- gent and faithful student, with a natural inclina- tion toward investigations for himself. He was of a keen mathematical and argumentative turn of mind, and a promoter of enthusiasm among his fellow-students. In 1864 he took up the course at Bellevue Hospital, New York, and there grad- uated with high honors in 1866. He began prac- tice soon after as an associate with a physician in Belmont, Me. There he remained two years ; and then, receiving encouragement to come to Brock-


ton, he established himself in that city in 1868. His practice has been large and remunerative ; and, as he is not among those who have neglected to multiply their talents, he is well-to-do, a large holder of real estate in Brockton. He is public- spirited, liberal in his treatment of the poor and unfortunate, and has often freely given the benefit of his skill. If he had not become a physician, he would have made an admirable lawyer. He has an analytical turn of mind, and nothing more delights him than the unravelling of some intricate question of law or politics. Politics especially is one of his most enjoyed diversions. He is a Republican " from start to finish," as he himself defines his political doctrine, and has always stood high in the council of his party in his neighbor- hood, as evidenced by his influence in frequently directing the local party policy in municipal affairs, and in the selection of Republican can- didates in the broader field of State and national politics. He was elected presidential elector from his Congressional district in 1888, to vote for Har- rison, and represented the Second Plymouth Con- gressional District in the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis in 1892. He never accepts public office, finding more satisfaction in acting as director in political affairs than as one directed. Next to politics Dr. Freeman enjoys whist, into the playing of which noble game he enters with characteristic zeal, earnestness, under- standing, and success. He was married, November 17, 1880, to Miss Edith Merriam Howard, daughter of Franklin Otis Howard, a prominent shoe manu- facturer.


GALLISON, AMBROSE JOHN, M.D., of Frank- lin, is a native of Maine, born in Woodstock, Ox- ford County, August 29, 1856, son of John M. and Sarah A. (French) Gallison. His paternal ancestors were first settlers of Marblehead, where many of his relatives are buried in the old burial- ground. His maternal ancestors were of the Scotch-Irish colony which early came to New Londonderry, N.H. His grandfather, Josepli Gallison, of Marblehead, descended from the Winslow family of the "Mayflower," through Kenelm Winslow, of Marshfield. He was edu- cated in the public schools of his native town, the High School of Bridgton, Me., and Gould's Academy of Bethel, Me .; and his degree was re- ceived from the Dartmouth Medical College, where he graduated November 22, 1887. At the

years. His medical studies were begun four years prior to his graduation from Dartmouth, under Dr. J. C. Gallison, of Franklin, with whom he has since been in partnership in practice. He is a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society. of the Thurber Medical Society of Milford, and of numerous fraternal organizations, - the latter including the Excelsior Lodge, Freemasons, the King David Lodge, Odd Fellows, the Wonewok Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men (of which he was sachem in 1893), the Benjamin Franklin Council, United Order of American Mechanics, and the Governor Winslow Colony, United Order of Pilgrim Fathers, all of Franklin. In politics Dr. Gallison has been a lifelong Republican. He was married June 24, 1891, to Miss Mary E. Thayer, only daughter of Davis Thayer, Jr., of Franklin. They have one child: Davis Thayer Gallison (born September 8, 1893).


GARDNER, HARRISON, of Boston, merchant. was born in Roxbury, April 9, 1841, son of Joseph Henry and Harriet (Gardner) Gardner.


He was educated in the Roxbury public schools. His business career was begun soon after leaving school as clerk for Hill, Burrage, & Co .. woollen house. He was next connected with the house of A. & A. Lawrence & Co .; and, after some time spent there he entered that of George C. Richard- son & Co., which later became George C. Richard- son, Smith, & Co., and on July 1, 1885. Smith, Hogg, & Gardner, Mr. Gardner having been ad- mitted to the firm on July 1, 1871. He served in the Civil War as first lieutenant of Company C.

GOODELL, JONATHAN WOODWARD. M.I., of Lynn, was born in Orange, Franklin County, August 2, 1830, son of Zina and Polly (Wood- ward) Goodell. He comes of families noted for longevity. His paternal grandmother lived to the


570

age of ninety-five years, and saw two of the fifth generation. His maternal grandfather lived to ninety-three years, and his maternal grandmother to the age of eighty-seven. His father was one of ten children, all living to be over fifty years of age, and two to over ninety ; and his mother was one of nine, eight living to be over sixty years, and six to over eighty. And he is himself one of eight children, seven living to upwards of fifty years. He was educated in the public schools of Orange, at the Melrose Seminary, West Brattle- borough, and at Saxton's River Academy, Rock- ingham, Vt .; and his medical studies were pursued at the Berkshire Medical School one year, at the Woodstock (Vt.) Medical College one year, and the Berkshire Medical College again another year, graduating from the latter in 1855. He began at eighteen years of age to earn the necessary funds for his medical education, mostly by teaching, but taking advantage of every other honorable means by which an honest dollar could be ob- tained ; and he emphasizes the fact that he never spent much time in foot-ball practice. He en- tered upon the practice of medicine at Greenwich

in 1856, and remained there ten years, having an extensive country practice, and for seven years also the charge of all the public schools. Then,


in February, 1866, he moved to Lynn, and gave his undivided attention to his professional calling, going whenever and wherever desired without questions, sleeping out of the city only two nights in the first ten years. After one-half a century had passed over his head, he concluded that nature had some claims which should be re- spected. Accordingly, he began to recreate with the Essex Institute; and in 1882 he joined the first Raymond-Whitcomb excursion to California. He also became much interested in horticulture in Massachusetts and in Florida, establishing in the latter State his winter home. He has been presi- dent of the Houghton Horticultural Society for the past nine years, and has spent his leisure hours in striving to encourage the general cultiva- tion of fruits and flowers, believing that the culti- vation and the harvest are alike healthful to mind, heart, and body. Dr. Goodell was a school super- intendent from 1859 to 1866; was president of the Essex District Medical Society for two years ; councillor of the Massachusetts Medical Society several years; and consulting physician to the Lynn Hospital three years. He is now a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, of the Houghton Horticultural Society, of the Golden Fleece Lodge, Freemasons, and of the Home Market Club. He is also still consulting physi- cian of the Lynn Hospital. In politics he defines himself as a Republican always. He was married November 1, 1858, to Miss Martha J. Abbott, of Enfield, Mass. They have one daughter: Addie B. Goodell (born in Lynn, February 3, 1870).


GROVER, THOMAS ELLWOOD, of Canton, mem- ber of the bar, was born in Mansfield, February 9, 1846, son of Thomas and Roana Williams (Perry) Grover. His father was a minister in the Society of Friends. He is of early New England ances- try in both lines ; and his paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of Mansfield. The first of the family in the country was Thomas Grover, who came in 1635, and settled in Malden. He married Mary Chadwick, and had three sons, Ephraim, Andrew, and Thomas. These sons be- came settlers of Mansfield in 1698, buying one hundred acres of land and ten of meadow, as the ancient deed, which is still preserved, runs. Mr. Grover is in the direct line from Thomas, the eldest of the three brothers. The family carly scattered, Thomas's descendants only remaining

graduate of West Point in the class of 1856, com- manding a division in the Army of the Potomac, and also at New Orleans during the Civil War. Mr. Grover's mother was a Perry, of Attleborough, her mother a Williams, and her grandfather a Lincoln, all early Eastern Massachusetts families. He was educated in the common schools of Mans- field and at the English and Classical Academy of Foxborough, the adjoining town, and read law with Ellis Ames, in Canton. Admitted to the bar in Bristol County, September 7, 1869, he at once began practice, dividing his time between Canton and Boston, having offices in both places. In 1871 he was admitted to the United States Circuit Court. He has been engaged in general practice, and has acted as counsel for many towns in Norfolk County. In 1870 he was made trial justice of Norfolk County, which position he held continuously for twenty years. He has also held a number of town offices, including those of superin- tendent of schools, first in Mansfield and afterward in Canton, member of the School Committee in both places, and member of the Canton Board of Water Commissioners ; and in 1894 and 1895 was


a representative for the Fourth Norfolk District (comprising the towns of Canton and Milton) in the State Legislature. In the latter body he served during both terms on the committee on railroads, the second term its chairman; and he had an influential hand in shaping some of the most important legislation of the sessions bearing on railroad questions. Since 1890 he has been a trustee of the Canton Institution for Savings. Mr. Grover's politics are Republican. He has delivered a number of occasional addresses, the list including the address on the occasion of the centennial celebration of Canton in 1876, thirteen Memorial Day addresses, and several before liter- ary associations. He is a Freemason, member of the Blue Hill Lodge. He was married Septem- ber 17, 1871, to Miss Frances L. Williams, daugh- ter of Francis D. Williams, of Foxborough. They have one child : Gregory Williams Grover. Mr. Grover's main office is now in Boston, that in Canton being a branch office.


HARRIS, HENRY SEVERANCE, of Boston, real estate agent and manager of estates and trusts, is a native of Maine, born in the town of St. George, Knox County, June 16, 1850, son of James and Abigail (Wall) Harris. He was educated in the village or district schools ; and at the age of four- teen, in August, 1864, left home and came to Boston to find work. A week after his arrival in the city he found a place as boy in a book and stationery store, in which he was employed for about four years. Then in January, 1869, he took a situation as salesman in a hardware and house- furnishing store, and here remained for two years, when he left to engage in business on his own account, opening a retail hardware store on Janu- ary 26, 1871. This business was continued suc- cessfully for four years ; and then, selling out on March 27, 1875, he went to St. Louis, Mo., with the intention of entering business in that city. After looking over the field, however, he changed his mind, and returning to Boston, in May, 1876, opened another retail hardware store there, with a house-furnishing department added, which he conducted until the first of January, 1883. Then, selling out this business, he entered the real estate, mortgage, and insurance business, with which he has since been occupied. This now in- cludes the general management of estates and trusts, Mr. Harris acting as executor, administra-

tor, and trustee; and he has also the care and conduct of numerous estates in the city and suburbs. Since 1888 Mr. Harris has also been

connected with the assessing department of the city of Boston, as assistant and local assessor. In politics he is a Republican, and is a member of the Republican Club of Massachusetts. He be- lieves strongly in proper out-of-door recreation to keep in good health for business, and endeavors to take a few hours each week away from his desk. Bicycle-riding, rifle and pistol shooting, are his favorite pursuits for pleasure. He was one of the organizers, and has been for many years a director, of the Massachusetts Rifle Asso- ciation, serving also as its secretary for the past ten years. He is also a member of the Massa- chusetts Fish and Game Protective Association and of the League of American Wheelmen. Other organizations to which he belongs include the Pine Tree State Club of Boston, the Mercantile Library Association, and several religious associations. He was married in Boston, November 23, 1891, to Mrs. Mary J. Jackson, formerly Miss Belknap.


HAYDEN, CHARLES HENRY, of Boston, artist, was born in Plymouth, August 4, 1856, son of


Edward B. and Anna F. (Goodspeed) Hayden. He is descended from John Hayden, who came to this country from England with two brothers, William and James, in 1630, and in 1640 was liv- ing in Braintree. His great-grandfather was Isaac Hayden, born in Pawtucket, Mass. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Plymouth. He began the study of painting with John B. Johnston, the landscape and cattle painter ; and upon the opening of the school at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts entered that institution, where he re- mained under the instruction of Otto Grundmann the greater part of three years. For the next five years he was occupied in designing for stained- glass decoration. Then in the autumn of 1886 he went abroad, and studied in Paris some time, first in the Academy Julien under Boulanger and Lefebvre, and afterward with Raphael Collin. He exhibited in the Salon of 1889 and at the Paris Universal Exposition of the same year, re- ceiving at the latter an " Honorable mention " for his picture called " Morning on the Plain." Re- turning to America in 1889, he settled in Boston, taking a studio in the Harcourt Building, Irving-

ton Street. In 1895 he received the Jordan prize of $1,500 for his picture, "Turkey Pasture, New England," now in the Museum of Fine Arts.


573

Other notable paintings from his brush since his return from Paris are : " Pasture-land and Hills," purchased by the Boston Art Club from the Ex- hibition of 1891 ; and " A Quiet Morning, Octo- ber." " Landscape with Cattle." and "Pasture- land in Connecticut," which were exhibited at the World's Fair, Chicago. Mr. Hayden is a member of the Boston Art Club. He is unmarried.


HAYNES, JOHN CUMMINGS, of Boston, presi- dent of the Oliver Ditson Company, was born in Brighton, now Brighton District, Boston, Septem- ber 9, 1829, and is the son of John Dearborn and Eliza Walker (Stevens) Haynes. He is a de- scendant, on the paternal side, of Samuel Haynes. who came from Shropshire, England, in 1635, and settled at Strawberry Bank, now Portsmouth, N.H .. becoming deacon of the First Congrega- tional church of the settlement. On the maternal side Mr. Haynes is of Scotch-Irish descent, from the Gilpatrick family, which appeared among the early settlers of what is now Biddeford, Me. He was educated in the Boston public schools, finish- ing in the English High School. At the age of fifteen he began business life as boy in the em- ploy of Oliver Ditson, and is now the head of the old and well-known Ditson music-publishing busi- ness. In his younger business life with Mr. Dit- son he rose steadily to responsible positions, and at the age of twenty-one was given an interest in the business, receiving a percentage of the sales. Six years later, on the first of January. 1857. he became a full partner; and the firm name was then changed to Oliver Ditson & Co. This rela- tion held until December, 1888, a period of thirty years, when the death of Mr. Ditson dissolved the firm. The surviving partners, Mr. Haynes and Charles Il. Ditson, son of Oliver Ditson, and the executors of the estate of Oliver Ditson, then or- ganized the present corporation, admitting as stockholders several of the most useful young men who had grown up with the business, under the title of "The Oliver Ditson Company," with Mr. Haynes as president, and Mr. Ditson as treasurer. During Mr. Haynes's connection with the house it has grown from a small store em- ploying only two clerks to an establishment occu- pying a large building in Boston, Nos. 453 to 465 Washington Street, with branch houses in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, and employing sev- eral hundred persons. The Boston house, known


as Oliver Ditson Company, is the headquarters of the business; and the Boston branch house is conducted under the name of John C. Haynes & Co. The New York house bears the firm name of Charles H. Ditson & Co., and the Philadelphia house that of J. E. Ditson & Co. But all are of the corporation. Mr. Haynes is also a director of the Massachusetts Title Insurance Company, a director of the Prudential Fire Insurance Com- pany, a trustee of the Franklin Savings Bank of Boston ; and is largely interested in real estate, having engaged in numerous successful ventures that have materially added to the assessed valua-

tion of Boston. In early life Mr. Haynes was in- strumental in organizing the Franklin Library Association, of which he was long an active mem- ber, taking part in its debates and literary exer- cises ; and he has since been connected with numerous literary and philanthropic institutions of the city. He is a life member of the Mercantile Library Association, of the Young Men's Chris- tian Union, of the Woman's Educational and In- dustrial Union, and of the Aged Couples' Home Society, all of Boston. He is also a member and president of the Music Publishers' Association of the United States, a member of the Boston Mer- chants' Association, the Home Market Club, and


574


MEN OF PROGRESS.


the Massachusetts Club. From 1862 to 1865, in- clusive, he was a member of the Boston Common Council, and in that body was interested in the advancement of a number of liberal measures. In politics he was originally a Free Soiler, having cast his first presidential vote, in 1852, for John P. Hale ; and he afterwards joined the Republi- can party, with which he has since been identified. In 1848, after having been for some time a pupil in a Baptist Sunday-school, he became interested in the preaching of Theodore Parker, and from that time was prominently associated with the Twenty-eighth Congregational Society, which was organized "to give Theodore Parker a chance to be heard in Boston." Mr. Haynes served for many years as chairman of the standing commit- tee of this society. He was one of the organizers of the Parker Fraternity of Boston, for a long period an influential social and religious society, which sustained the " Parker Fraternity Course of Lectures," remarkable for their influence in mould- ing public opinion, especially during the Civil War and the years of reconstruction following ; and in the first course of these lectures (in 1858) Mr. Parker delivered his celebrated discourse on Washington, Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson. Mr. Haynes was active also in the erection of the Parker Memorial Building, and at a later period (in 1892) was interested in its transfer to the Benevolent Fraternity of Churches (the object of this transfer being to perpetuate the memory of Theodore Parker in practical, charitable, educa- tional, and religious work). Of late years he has been connected with the Church of the Unity, of which the Rev. Minot J. Savage is the minister. Mr. Haynes was married by Theodore Parker, May 1, 1855, to Miss Fanny S. Spear, daughter of the Rev. Charles and Frances (Seabury) Spear. They have had seven children : Alice Fanny (now Mrs. M. Morton Holmes), Theodore Parker (de- ceased), Lizzie Gray (Mrs. O. Gordon Rankine). Jennie Eliza (Mrs. Fred O. Hurd), Cora Marie (Mrs. E. Harte Day), Mabel Stevens, and Edith Margaret Haynes.
