JOHN BREED NEWHALL-Nine years after the "Mayflower" dropped anchor off the rock that still lies at Plymouth and is the shrine of patriotic Americans, the Newhalls came to Massachusetts, and in 1630 Thomas Newhall was born at Lynn, the first white child of nativity of that place. His descendants are among the prominent residents of Lynn today, as well as other localities in the State of Massachusetts, among them John Breed New- hall, practicing attorney, with offices at No. 40 Court Street, Boston, and residence in Lynn. Mr. Newhall's record in professional and civic affairs is one upholding the high traditions of the family name.
John Breed Newhall was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, October 1, 1862. His father was Charles, born in Lynn in 1826, a farmer, who died October 20, 1867; his mother, Hester Celia (Moulton) Newhall, born in Rumney, New Hampshire, April 27, 1834, and who died in Lynn, June 27, 1891. The couple were the parents of five children, of whom John Breed
136
METROPOLITAN BOSTON
is the only one now living. He is a descendant of Major-General Spencer, of Connecticut, and of Judge Samuel Emerson, of Plymouth, New Hampshire. The Breeds also were among the oldest American pioneer stock. John Breed Newhall received his early education in the public schools of Lynn and was graduated from the Whiting Grammar School in 1877 and from the Lynn High School in 1880. He then took the course at Harvard University and was grad- uated, cum laude, from that institution, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws, in 1888, adding that degree to that of Bachelor of Arts, which he had received from Harvard three years previously. He then was admitted to the bar and established himself in practice in Boston and making his home in Lynn. There he was a member of the Common Council 1890, '91 and '92, during the last two years of that serv- ice having been its president. During 1893, 1894, and 1895 he served as a member of the State Legislature and during 1901, '02 and '03 he was a member of the Lynn School Board, having been its chairman during the last-named year. He is in religion a Universalist and his strongest inclination beyond the law is gen- ealogy, of which he has made a deep and ex- haustive study.
Mr. Newhall married, in San Francisco, California, December 6, 1893, Gertrude Jane Cutler, a native of that city, daughter of Elijah B., an attorney, and Ella Frances (Hackett) Cutler, both now deceased. They have four children, all living: 1. Hester, the wife of Benjamin B. Brown. 2. Avis Edna, unmarried. 3. Frances, wife of Donald K. Wright. 4. Charles, a graduate of Harvard University of the class of 1923, with the distinction of magna cum laude.
ALBERT RAND MacKUSICK- As a lawyer Mr. MacKusick has found in his pro-
fession all the joys of a vocation, and has been able to put into it the best that he had to give, and returns from it have come back to him in full measure. When a man enjoys his work so that he derives pleasure from it, he has reached a goal for which philosophers have striven. Mr. MacKusick's philosophy of life has enabled him to make such goal his aim. He is the son of Leroy C. and Martha E. (Rand) MacKusick. His father conducted a wholesale confectionery business, and during the Civil War enlisted in the Second District of Columbia Volunteers and served for four years and nine months. He was a man of natural patriotic feelings which showed plainly in his taking part in the defense of his country.
Albert Rand MacKusick was born at Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, on December 13, 1875. After his elementary school work, he attended the Cambridge Latin School where he was prepared for college, and in 1895 he entered Harvard College, graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1899. He then continued his studies at the Harvard Law School and, in 1902, received from that school the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Immediately after his grad- uation from the law school he entered the practice of law, making his beginning in this profession by trying accident cases for the Bos- ton Elevated Railway Company, in which work he continued until 1908. Since that time, he has continued in the general practice of law in the firm of MacKusick, Hoe and Wenrich, with offices at 611-614 Beacon Building, No. 6 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. In 1912, Mr. MacKusick became attorney for Turk- ish governmental contractors and spent several months in Constantinople and the Near East. During the period of the Balkan wars, he spent much of his time in New York City and in Washington, District of Columbia. In 1915, he became attorney for an agricultural imple- ment concern in the Middle West, and is now a director and the treasurer of the Baird Corn Husker Company of Illinois. During the World War, Mr. MacKusick became interested in a mineral development enterprise in Virginia, and
-
137
METROPOLITAN BOSTON
continues to make frequent visits to the several thousand acres of mineral lands there which he helps to control. Mr. MacKusick lives in the even tenor of an orderly life. He has found his hobbies in his avocations and these have carried him into lands near and far. He has been, at different times, in all the American States, into most of the European countries, up into Canada, over into Mexico, through Asia Minor, about Palestine and down into Egypt. This traveling of the adult has brought into his life rich experiences and pleasant memories which have welded together the affairs of differ- ent peoples and countries into a whole, which enables Mr. MacKusick to take up the different threads of legal affairs pertaining to business contracts in places distant one from another, with an appreciation of human nature in its differing phases and bring them together in business interests. Through the experiences of his profession and travels, he has written and published a book entitled "European Travels," which contains an account of his trips there. He has also published from time to time, news- paper articles, notable among which are "Amer- ican Opportunities in Turkey," and some of his arguments for "Closer Business Relations be- tween New England and the Levant." One can easily judge by the titles of these works how broad a scope Mr. MacKusick's compre- hension of international cooperation is, and his interest in bringing others into the radius of his vision. The only political office which he has held is that of Master in Chancery. His only military service is that of militia service on a Massachusetts brigade staff. He is a member of the Baptist church and of the Order of Free and Accepted Masons; the Boston Baptist So- cial Union, the Boston City Club and the Boston Bar Association.
At New York City, New York, on April 16, 1912, Albert Rand MacKusick married Wanda Weidhorn, daughter of Jacob and Ernestine Weidhorn. Mr. and Mrs. MacKusick make their home at No. 292 Tappan Street, Brookline, Massachusetts. They have no children.
FRANK STANTON DELAND-Within the legal ranks of the city of Boston are men whose talents in the profession are known throughout New England. Because of their abilities, ap- plication and unchallenged integrity they have advanced from that common and usually modest position held by the barrister at the commence- ment of his career to positions of responsibility and dominance, not alone in matters pertaining to the law, but also in affairs of the metropolis.
Frank Stanton Deland is a native of Boston .. He was born July 10, 1878, son of James A. and Rachel Kenilworth (Perry) Deland. James A. Deland was a native of New York City. An artist, he came to Boston as a young man, and here died at the untimely age of thirty years, before a career of great promise had been fulfilled. His death occurred in 1882. Rachel Kenilworth (Perry) Deland was a native of England, in which country she was born at Kenilworth. She died in Boston, June 28, 1911, at the age of fifty-eight years. In the family were four children: 1. Charles Ward, of Brook- line. 2. Frank Stanton, of whom follows. 3. Robert James, of Berkeley, California. 4. Grace Constance, wife of Major Edward Rutledge Lowndes.
Mr. Deland was but seven years of age when his father died, and his home training, accord- ingly, fell to his mother, whom he recalls to the present time with the deepest of affection replete of the realization of what was his debt to her. He took his elementary academic work in the Agassiz Grammar School, entered Eng- lish High School, from it took his diploma in 1896, and later, having realized the consistency of his attraction for the law, became a student in Boston University Law School, from which he took the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1910. Still later he has taken post-graduate courses in this institution, and is today an attorney among those best versed in certain phases of legal practice in the city of Boston. Admitted to the bar soon after his graduation from law school, he has engaged in practice continuously through the years that have followed. His first
138
METROPOLITAN BOSTON
public office was under the administration of Mayor Peters, during which, 1918, he served as city collector. In 1920 he became city treasurer, and from 1922 to 1926 acted as assistant dis- trict attorney. In 1926 he was appointed cor- poration counsel of the city of Boston, and is serving at the present time (1928). His record in each of the offices and posts cited was most admirable. Fraternally, Mr. Deland is affiliated with the Free and Accepted Masons, and is active in various social organizations. He is a member of the Country Club of Brookline, Belmont Spring Country Club, Tedesco Club, University Club, and Eastern Yacht Club. His church is St. John's Episcopal. During the World War he was of assistance in the cam- paigns of the Liberty Loan and Red Cross, and took part also wherever possible in the charges of committees and boards of war work.
On April 27, 1904, at Jamaica Plain, Mr. Deland was united in marriage with Isabel Fay Adams, daughter of Charles H. Adams, de- ceased, and Ella (Cochran) Adams, who sur- vives. Of this union were born three children, as follows: 1. Eleanor Cochran, born February 12, 1906. 2. Rachel Kenilworth, born October 20, 1909. 3. Frank Stanton, Jr., born October 9, 1913. Mr. Deland's offices, well known to a large and important clientele, are at No. 11 Beacon Street, Boston, and his residence is at No. 31 Beaufort Road, Jamaica Plain.
finishing his early education in the public schools of Westfield, he attended the State Normal School at Johnson, Vermont. In 1881, he began the practice of law and did his first work in this profession in Lamoille County where he continued until 1884. He is a zealous Demo- crat and during both terms of Grover Cleveland as President of the United States, Mr. Boynton held the responsible post of Post Office In- spector. This was during the years of 1884 to 1888 and again from 1892 to 1896. Since 1897, he has practiced law in Boston, Massachusetts. Before removing from the State of Vermont, in 1892, he was a member of the House of Representatives of that State. And, since mak- ing his residence in Massachusetts, he has been mayor of the town of Everett, for the terms of 1904, 1906 and 1907. In 1914, he was attorney- general for the State of Massachusetts. In 1917, he was United States District Attorney of Massachusetts. He is a trustee of the Suffolk School of Law; a member of the Order of Free and Accepted Masons; a member of the Ver- mont Association of Boston; the Vermont Club of Everett; the Mayors' Club of Massachusetts; and the Boston City Club. At present, he makes his home in Arlington, Massachusetts.
On December 27, 1879, Thomas Jefferson Boynton married Hattie L. Storey of Johnson, Vermont.
THOMAS JEFFERSON BOYNTON-
Modest and retiring in his manner, yet holding a position in the attainments of the legal pro- fession that might easily be envied by others, Thomas Jefferson Boynton, of Boston, Massa- chusetts, is today one of the most highly esteemed and greatly respected lawyers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He is the son of David F. and Lydia (Roberts) Boynton, who were natives of Vermont.
Thomas Jefferson Boynton was born at West- field, Vermont, on December 30, 1856. After

Allyn, Sr., who was a na- tive of Connecticut, and of Helen M. Allyn, a native of Brooklyn, New York. His father was in the shoe business, being for some time the vice-president of the East New York Shoe Company.

140
METROPOLITAN BOSTON
numbered among the foremost of his confreres, and is remarkably well read in matters aside from the profession, having taken a lengthy and thorough training in the arts and sciences prior to preparation therefor. He has practiced law in the city of Boston for more than twenty years. He is active in general affairs, inclusive of all works pertaining to citizenship lying open to men of the greater community of the city, and has numerous friends, both in the city proper, where he maintains offices and transacts busi- ness, and in West Medford, where he makes his residence.
The progenitor in America was of Welsh birth, and came to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1637. He was keeper of the first jail in Cambridge, a man of considerable influence in the shaping of affairs of the Cambridge of that time. From him, the line descended to Hiram Healey, father of Guy Ernest Healy, who was born at Raymond, New Hampshire, in 1812, and died at Vienna, Maine, in 1903. He was a farmer, a foremost citizen of the Vienna coun- tryside. Hiram Healey married Sophia Pitt- man Wells, native of Vienna, Maine, born Sep- tember 10, 1829, died October 12, 1912. Of this union were born twenty children.

He secured a sound ele- mentary education, graduated from Oak Grove Seminary at Vassalboro, Maine, in 1893 (at the age of seventeen), and then attended the Moses Brown School, of Providence, Rhode Island, whence he graduated in 1895. In the fall of 1896 he matriculated at Bates College, there followed the regulation arts and sciences cur- riculum, and from the college took the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1900. Meanwhile, he had felt a sincere interest in both science and the law, and it followed that he took a special course in the former at Harvard University, complet- ing these studies in 1903. Then he became a student in Boston University of Law, took the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1906, and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in that year. In 1906, directly after admission to the bar, he
opened the offices which he has since occupied continuously, No. 602 Barristers Hall.

GEORGE B. GLIDDEN-As vice-president, treasurer and general manager of the George Frost Company, manufacturers of the Boston garters, Boston belts and Boston suspenders for men and boys, and Velvet Grip hose sup- porters for women and children, George B. Glid- den is identified with a concern whose products are known throughout the world, and whose name long ago became a guarantee for excel- lence of quality and workmanship.

He received his early education in the public schools of Boston, and then continued study in the Roxbury Latin School. When his course there was completed he became a student in the Massachusetts In-
141
METROPOLITAN BOSTON
stitute of Technology, class of 1893. He, secured his first position with the National Rockland Bank, of Roxbury, but after a time took up chemical and electrical engineering. Later he was associated with his father in the real estate business for a time, but in 1902, as a young man of thirty-two years, he became identified with the George Frost Company, with which his business career has since been associated. His first position in this connection was in the of- fice, but ability, faithfulness and close applica- tion brought substantial reward in the form of promotion, and in time he was made superin- tendent of the concern, which responsible posi- tion he held for twenty years. After he had been identified with the company for some time he was made treasurer of the concern, then treasurer and general manager, and finally vice- president, treasurer and general manager. The products of the George Frost Company are too well known to need description, for the Boston garter for men, and Velvet Grip hose supporters for women and children, are known wherever those articles are used, and their quality has long been unquestioned. The ability of Mr. Glidden has been no small factor in upholding the present high standards of the concern, and he is well known in Boston as a most able and discerning business man. The business offices are located at No. 551 Tremont Street, Boston, but Mr. Glidden's home is at Dighton, Massa- chusetts, where he takes an active interest in local public affairs. He is a Republican in his political principles, and when the interests of the town could be served by accepting public office he has not hesitated to do so. He has served as selectman in Dighton for five terms of three years each, and is known as a public- spirited citizen who is always ready to contrib- ute in any way that he can to the advancement of the best interests of Dighton. In the spring of 1918 he went to Europe as a member of the Liberty Loan Commission, consisting of four members from New England, and of represen- tatives from other parts of the country, and upon his return he gave all of his time for sev- eral months to the raising of the third loan, and
to the raising of money for the Red Cross, speaking throughout New England, and using his influence to forward the work assigned to his community.
Fraternally, Mr. Glidden is identified with the Masonic Order, in which he is a member of all the bodies, being a Knight Templar and a thirty-second degree Mason. He is also a life-member of Aleppo Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is a member of the Technology Club of New York City, of the Boston City Club, of the University Club, Boston Chamber of Commerce, and Sons of the American Revolution. He has served for some years as a member of the board of trustees of the Massachusetts Homœopathic Hospital, being a vice-president and secretary.
George Blanchard Glidden was married, in Boston, May 6, 1896, to Minna Wesselhoeft, daughter of Dr. Conrad and Elizabeth F. (Pope) Wesselhoeft.
ARTHUR PARK GAY-Engaged for a number of years in the practice of law, Arthur Park Gay has won the trust and confidence of a large number of clients in Boston and its environs-men and women who have come to know that his legal advice is always sound and dependable. A public-spirited citizen of the finest calibre, Mr. Gay is deservedly esteemed by his many friends and acquaintances, both in Boston and in West Newton, where he lives.
He is descended from an old Massachusetts family, John Gay having come to America from England in 1630, and was one of the founders of the town of Dedham, Massachusetts. Mr. Gay's father, Richard L. Gay, was born in Thompson, Connecticut, on August 25, 1837, and died in Brookline, Massachusetts, on February 8, 1919.
