JOHN J. MANGAN, M. D .- Prominent in the professional and public life of Lynn, Massachusetts, and bearing a part in the progressive activities of the day, Dr. John J. Mangan, of Lynn, Massachu- setts, is one of those men who count constructively in any branch of human endeavor.
Dr. Mangan was born in Preston, England, in the year 1857. Coming to America with his parents in early childhood, the boy received his early education in the public schools of Fall River, Massachusetts, where the family located. Ambitious to enter a pro- fessional field, and enjoying the full sympathy of his parents in this regard, he entered Holy Cross Col- lege, in Worcester, Massachusetts, from which he was graduated in 1883. Later, he studied at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which he was graduated in 1891. He then began the gen- eral practice of medicine in the city of Lynn, Mas- sachusetts. Meanwhile, he took a post-graduate course in medicine, at Harvard Medical School, from which he was graduated in 1904. With this splen- did preparation for his career Dr. Mangan made a substantial success in his chosen field, and has now for thirty years held a leading position in the medi- cal profession in Essex county.
Dr. Mangan is attending physician at the Lynn Hospital. He is a member of the American Medical Association, of the Massachusetts Medical Society, of the New England Pediatric Society, and of the Lynn Medical fraternity and is held in the highest esteem by his contemporaries in the profession, as well as by the general public.
Personally, Dr. Mangan is broadly interested along fraternal and social lines. He is a prominent mem- ber of the Knights of Columbus, and holds member- ship in many other clubs and societies. Along with his professional and other interests, he has found time for considerable writing, and is the author of "Life of Erasmus," "Life of Rev. Jeremiah Shep- ard", third minister of Lynn, and of various other writings.
FRANK ELMER TUCKER, business man of Haverhill, Massachusetts, member of the firm of Frank E. Tucker & Son Company, was born in Nashua, New Hampshire, May 17, 1846, son of John A. Tucker, of Bath, Maine, and Lucy Watson (How) Tucker, of Asbury, New Hampshire.
Frank E. Tucker attended school in Nashua, New Hampshire, and Biddeford, Maine, and soon after
leaving school offered his services in the Civil War, being discharged in 1864 after two and one-half years' service. He enlisted in Company K. Twenty- first Massachusetts Infantry, and during his service participated in the following battles: South Moun- tain, Antietam, siege of Knoxville, Spottsylvania, battle of the Wilderness, battle of Cold Harbor, and St. Petersburg.
Soon after returning to his home, Mr. Tucker learned the trade of moulder, and worked at this occupation for the Saco Water Power Company at Biddeford. In 1874 he left that place and went to Newton, Massachusetts, following the same trade for four years, resigning at the end of this time to enter business on his own account as a dealer in furniture, under the firm name of Vaughn & Tucker, the partners being Mr. Tucker and J. J. Vaughn. For a quarter of a century the location remained at Nos. 132 and 134 Merrimac street, where it was originally founded, and in 1886 Mr. Vaughn sold his interests to Mr. Tucker and the name was sub- sequently changed to Frank E. Tucker Company, continuing until 1893, in which year Joseph Elmer Tucker, son of Mr. Tucker, was admitted as a part- ner, and the firm name changed to Frank E. Tucker & Son Company, under which name the business is now carried on. In all, this firm has been establish- ed in Haverhill for forty-one years, and has estab- lished also a fine prestige for a high grade of furni- ture and upright methods of doing business. While a resident of Newton, Mr. Tucker served as police- man and constable, and is a member of the Cham- ber of Commerce at Haverhill. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Post, No. 47, of that city, and of Merrimac Lodge.
Mr. Tucker married, in 1875, Mary Ella Chap- man, of Deerfield, New Hampshire, and her death occurred in 1915. Their children were: Joseph Elmer, now associated with his father in business; Lucy Belle Tucker. The family attend the Brad- ford Congregational Church.
ROLLIN E. MORTON-The business of the Morton Motor Equipment Company, of Lawrence, Haverhill, and Lowell, Massachusetts, is probably the largest of its kind in Essex county. Its success has been notably rapid, the company only being formed in 1916, by William J. Morton and his two sons.
Rollin E. Morton, son of William J. and Mary J. (Sawyer) Morton, was born in Lowell, Vermont, on July 24, 1886. His boyhood and youth were spent mainly in Malden, Massachusetts. There he went to school, eventually (in 1906) graduating from the high school. Soon, thereafter, he secured employ- ment as private secretary for Jeremiah Williams, of Jeremiah Williams and Company, and in that cleri- cal capacity learned much about commercial affairs and operation in general, and about the wool busi- ness in particular. Later he went West, and did not return to the East and Massachusetts for three years. When he did return, he took up work in Malden, then with the United States Tire Company at Providence, Rhode Island, in the capacity of

salesman. In 1916 he joined his father and brother in establishing the business of the Morton Motor Equipment Company, which has rapidly grown, and now has good stores and much business in Law- rence, Haverhill, and Lowell. The main store is in Lawrence, and that store provides about 4,000 square feet of floor space. It is stated to be the largest and most modern store in Lawrence in that line, and the branch stores both carry comprehensive stocks. The vulcanizing department of the Law- rence store is not bettered anywhere in the city. The business is the outgrowth of that originally begun by the father, William J. Morton, who in the first years of its operation was a dealer in and re- pairer of bicycles. With the evolution of vehicular means, change came in the business, motor cycles entering more and more into the operations. Even- tually, the present large business was developed, and it reflects credit upon the three principals, the father and two sons, who have shown commendable business aptitude and enterprise.
Rollin E. Morton is somewhat prominent in Ma- sonic bodies, being a member of Phoenician Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; Mt. Sinai Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Lawrence Council, Royal and Select Masters; Bethany Commandery, Knights Templar; Massachusetts Consistory; and Aleppo Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He also belongs to Malden Lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. By re- ligious belief a Congregationalist, he. attends the Trinity Church of that denomination. His member- ship in the local Rotary Club and Chamber of Com- merce brings him into co-operation in local move- ments that aim to bring good to the city.
Mr. Morton married, in 1920, Mildred L. Colby, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, daughter of Arthur E. Colby, who died in 1918; he was a funeral director in Lawrence. Her mother, Florence (Atwood) Colby, was of a Haverhill family; she also died in 1918. Mr. and Mrs. Rollin E. Morton reside at No. 16 Summit avenue, and they have a wide circle of friends in Lawrence, and also in Haverhill.
CHARLES W. HARWOOD-Among the fore- most names in the shoe and leather trades in Essex county must be numbered that of Harwood, and Charles W. Harwood, son of the founder, is now vice-president and general manager of the great plant in Lynn, which is the home of the Harwood Counter Company. Mr. Harwood is a son of Charles E. Harwood, who founded the present busi- ness in the basement of a house on Pearl street, in the year 1869.
Charles W, Harwood was born in Lynn, Septem- ber 6, 1871. Receiving his early education in the public schools of his native city, he thereafter at- tended Chauncey Hall Preparatory School, then started in the shoe supply business at the beach. Going through all the different departments, the young man learned the shoe supply business from every angle, and working side by side with his father, the experience of the elder man counting
largely in their progress, Mr. Harwood has carried the enterprise, started on so small a scale, to a point where now the concern owns and operates one of the finest and most complete factories in the trade. This great building is of the most modern and ap- proved factory construction, having one thousand windows, and is fully equipped in the most scien- tific manner for producing their specialty, counters. Having made extensive preparations for the com- fort, health and well-being of their employees, they in turn gain from them the most loyal service, no slight factor in excellence of product. After fifty years and more of experience, the company is at the head in the productior of counters of every kind in demand in the shoe trade, and they stand very high in the esteem of their contemporaries. Mr. Har- wood has other business and financial affiliations in Lynn, being president of the Lynn Grease Extract- ing Company, which takes the grease from small pieces of scrap leather, the by-products being used for the manufacture of heels; and treasurer of the Lynn Five Cent Savings Bank. He is also vice- president of the Renton Heel Company, with fac- tory located in the same building. They do ex- tensive exporting, their product going in great vol- ume direct to all foreign countries. He is also vice- president of the Lynn Safe Deposit Bank. He keeps in touch with all public advance, is a member and one of the directors of the Lynn Chamber of Com- merce, and a director of the Boy Scout Movement for this district; a member of the board of man- agers of the Lynn Hospital; and a director of the Red Cross Society. Fraternally, he holds member- ship in all Masonic bodies, including the Aleppo Temple, Shrine, and the Masonic Club. He is also a member of the Oxford Club, of Lynn, and of the Lynn Rotary Club, of which he was formerly a direc- tor, and which he represented as a delegate at the Los Angeles, California, Convention of Rotary Clubs in 1922.
Mr. Harwood married, in 1899, in Lynn, Nellie S. Morse, daughter of Dexter and Emma (Seabrook) Morse. Her father, who is a native of Maine, is one of the long established shoe manufacturers of Lynn. The mother was born in Buffalo, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Harwood have two children: Marian L., born December 1, 1900, now the wife of Harold Harvey, and a resident of Swampscott; and Charles E., second, born February 15, 1904, now attending preparatory school in Boston.
EDWARD MALCOM HOYT, M. D .- In the pro- fessional world of Essex county Dr. Hoyt holds high standing, and he is also widely known in the social circles of Georgetown and vicinity. He comes of one of the fine old New England families which were represented in the struggle for American in- dependence, his grandfather, Abner Hoyt, having fought with General Stark in the Battle of Benning- ton. Dr. Peter Livingstone Hoyt, son of Abmer Hoyt, was for more than thirty years &- leading physician of Wentworth, New Hampshire,; and his death, which occurred in 1870, closed an eminently.

useful career. He married Elisabeth Aspinwall, daughter of Rev. Increase Sumner Davis of that town
Edward Malcom Hoyt, son of Peter Livingston and Elisabeth (Aspinwall) Hoyt, was born in Went- worth, New Hampshire, March 31, 1858. His edu- cation was begun in the public schools of his native place, and was continued in Malden, Reading and Boston, Massachusetts. In 1876 he went to Wake- field, Massachusetts, to study medicine and phar- macy with Joseph D. Mansfield, M. D., a retired physician of that town. After following the busi- ness of pharmacy for some years, he determined to fulfil a life-long desire to practice medicine, and to that end entered Harvard University Medical School in 1888, and was graduated from that institution in the class of 1892. Following his graduation Dr. Hoyt went to Dublin, Ireland, for a term of ser- vice in the Rotunda Hospital, and at its completion went to the Royal Infirmary, in Edinburg, Scotland, for a practical course in medicine. With this un- usually comprehensive preparation for his chosen profession, Dr. Hoyt, upon his return to George- town, entered the general practice of medicine, hav- ing been called to the practice left vacant by the death of Dr. Ralph C. Huse, a physician beloved in this community for many years. For three de- cades Dr. Hoyt has now been professionally active in Georgetown, and has won an enviable position among his contemporaries. He is a member of the Harvard Alumni Association, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and the American Medical Associa- tion. During this period Dr. Hoyt has also become more of less prominently identified with matters of civic and benevolent import, to which he has de- voted himself so far as the duties of an extensive medical practice have permitted. He is one of the oldest members of the local literary club, is a trus- tee and the secretary of the Perley Free School Cor- poration, and gives his cordial endorsement to every movement which he believes calculated to advance the public welfare.
Dr. Hoyt married, in January of 1894, at Woburn, Massachusetts, Helen L., daughter of Alexander and Anne (Murray) Brown, of that city. Their home is one of the old-time Colonial houses, filled with rare and interesting furnishings of that early period. Here the Doctor and his wife have always given unstinted hospitality to their many friends, and strangers are often made delightfully at home with- in their gates.
BERNARD GALLAGHER-For more than fifty years the head of an industrial plant in Lynn, Ber- nard Gallagher is still actively engaged in the man- agement of his business, which has now become an important interest.
Mr. Gallagher was born in Ireland, in April, 1844, and is a son of Daniel and Ellen (Maguire) Gal- lagher. . Crossing the ocean with his family while still a child, Mr."Gallagher was reared on this side, and educated in the public schools of New Bruns- wick. Later he took up the study of law and medi- cine, but eventually relinquished a professional
career and learned the machinist's trade. Serving an apprenticeship with the Harris & Allen Company, of New Brunswick, he continued with that concern for six years after he had mastered the trade, his connection with them covering eleven years in all. At the end of that time he came to Lynn and estab- lished himself in business. This was late in the year 1870, and he manufactured clamp skates, a line which he followed, however, for little more than a year. He was the original inventor of this type of skate, but in 1872, having decided that the more practical branches of mechanical work offered great- er opportunities for success, he started a small machine shop. He began with a capital of three five-dollar bills, but he persisted in a campaign of advance, and with the passing of the years has achieved large success. His business now is valued at $150,000, and is one of the leading concerns in this line in Essex county. Mr. Gallagher has had 108 patents granted in the United States and in foreign countries, on his various inventions, one of the most noted of which is his railroad track drill. He is also the inventor of the original rotary cutter, a machine widely used for trimming the heels and edges of boots and shoes.
Mr. Gallagher is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and is interested in every branch of public progress. In 1873 he married Catherine Gray, of St. John, New Brunswick, and they were the parents of four children, of whom three are living, Thomas A., Alice and Catherine A. Bernard died at the age of one year. Mrs. Gal- lagher died in 1885, and Mr. Gallagher married (sec- ond), in 1893, Mary Frances Jordan, of Bangor, Maine.
GEORGE H. VOSE-For well over fifty years George H. Vose, assistant superintendent of the United Shoe Machinery Company, has been actively identified with the industrial world of Essex county, and is widely known in the shoe machinery trade.
Mr. Vose learned the trade of machinist with Bax- ter D. Whitney, of Winchendon, Worcester county, Massachusetts, beginning his apprenticeship, April 30, 1868. Ten years later he left to go to Boston, where he entered the employ of Charles Holmes, a 'manufacturer of fire ladders. During his connec- tion with this house he was for several months at- tached to the New York Fire Department, with the regular duties of a fireman, in the course of his demonstration of the Shaw fire ladders. Later Mr. Vose was employed in the locomotive shops of the Boston & Albany railroad, in Boston. In 1888 he became associated with the National Heeling Ma- chine Company, whose offices were on Congress street, Boston, and at the time of the great fire in Lynn he was superintendent of the factory. In 1896, when this concern was abgrobed by the Mckay- Bigelow Heeling Machine Company, Mr. Vose con- tinued with the new concern in the capacity of assistant superintendent at the new plant in Win- chester. Through the two subsequent changes in the concern Mr. Vose has stood by its interests and materially assisted in its development and prosper-

ity. As the Mckay Metallic Fastening Association the concern covered a continually widening field, then was ultimately merged with the United Shoe Machinery Company. In 1905, when the new Bev- erly plant was ready for occupation, Mr. Vose and three men from the experimental department were the first machine workers here. Mr. Vose still con- tinues to be active in the wide reaching interests of the United Shoe Machinery Company.
In many organized branches of endeavor Mr. Vose is constructively interested. He is a director of the Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, the Beverly Chamber of Commerce, succeeding the Beverly Board of Trade, a director of the Beverly Hospital, and has served as its president. He is president of the United Shoe Machinery Relief Association, and is also interested actively in the affairs of the Athletic Association composed of em- ployees of the concern. He is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, of the Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows, and many other societies of a fraternal or social nature. He is broadly interested in the work of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion, of which he has long been a member, and is chairman of the committee on instruction of the Beverly Industrial School, having been elected to that office at the organization of this institution, in the year 1909. During the World War he was very active in the committees of all the Liberty Loan drives. He is an attendant of the Washington Street Congregational Church.
On June 13, 1877, Mr. Vose married Lizzie A. Whitcomb, of Boston, and their three children are as follows: Edwin W., who has been connected with the work of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, as general secretary, for more than twenty years; Herbert L., who is prominent in the real estate and insurance business in Beverly; and Helen F., the wife of Harry M. Hillory, who is connected with the Forbes Lithograph Company, of Revere and Boston.
HARRY CARVER CLARKE, M. D .- After very comprehensive preparation for his career, Dr. Clarke, as a young man, came to Lynn, Massachu- setts, and entered upon the practice of medicine, and is now one of the leading practitioners of this city.
Dr. Clarke was born in Berkley, Massachusetts, June 24, 1878, and is a son of Henry D. and Stella Porter (French) Clarke. Receiving his early edu- cation in the public schools of his native place, he also covered the high school course in the East, then entered the Leland Stanford, Jr., University, of California, and took a four years' classical course. Then returning East, he entered Harvard University Medical School, from which he was graduated in 1910, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. After serving an internship in the Long Island Hospital, he established his practice in Lynn in 1911, and has developed a wide and lucrative practice, now holding a prominent position in the profession.
Dr. Clarke is a member of the American Medical Association, of the Massachusetts Medical Society,
and of the Lynn Medical fraternity. He attends the Methodist Episcopal church.
On October 5, 1898, Dr. Clarke married Sarah Alice Cooper, daughter of Henry and Sarah Cooper, and they reside at No. 183 North Common street, where his office is also located.
FREDERIC S. BOUTWELL-The name of Bout- well has for two generations, and in different fields of activity, been a prominent one in Andover, Mas- sachusetts. Born and reared in Andover, Frederic S. Boutwell has long held a position of trust in the community.
Mr. Boutwell is a son of Samuel H. and Alice J. Boutwell, both now deceased. The elder Mr. Bout- well was long a leading citizen of Andover, serving the town as selectman for a period of thirty years. He was a farmer by occupation, and interested in all public progress.
