about 1621, and who died in Watertown, August 14, 1672.
Mr. Shattuck prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover ; entered Har- vard College in 1847, and was graduated in the class of 1851. Selecting the pro- fession of the law, he began his legal studies in the office of Charles G. Loring, and at- tended for two years the Harvard law school, from which the degree of LL. B. was re- ceived in 1854.
Admitted to the bar in January, 1855, he commenced legal practice in September of that year, and for a short time was as- sociated with J. Randolph Coolidge. In May, 1856, he became associated in the practice of the law with the Hon. Peleg W. Chandler, this relation continuing until February, 1870. At that date he associ- ated himself with William A. Munroe, and later with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., these relations continuing until the appointment of Mr. Holmes to the supreme bench of Massachusetts in 1882-the firm now being Shattuck & Munroe.
Mr. Shattuck was a member of the Bos- ton common council in 1862, and for many years has been one of the overseers of Har- vard College, and is a member of the Mas- sachusetts Historical Society.
In 1857 Mr. Shattuck was married to Emily, daughter of Charles and Susan (Sprague) Copeland, of Roxbury. He has one daughter : Susan, now the wife of Dr. Arthur Tracy Cabot.
Mr. Shattuck has had an extensive legal practice, and has been particularly success- ful as a corporation lawyer, and in the handling of commercial cases of mag- nitude. His success in obtaining from the jury heavy verdicts in three successive trials of the well-known suit of Snow vs. Alley, with Hon. Robert G. Ingersoll as an opponent, proves his power as a jury lawyer.
SHAW, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, was born in Monmouth, Kennebec county, Maine, November 2, 1832.
His early education was obtained in the common schools and academies of Tops- ham and Brunswick, Me. His first con- nection in business was in Philadelphia, 1853, in sash, blind and door manufactur- ing. In 1854 he was accountant for Lip- pincott, Grambo & Co., subsequently J. B. Lippincott & Co., publishers. Leaving their employ, he established a cattle ranch in Kansas, having collected his young stock in southern Missouri, amid the perils incident to the condition of affairs at that time. In 1866 he became real

estate clerk for J. C. Ayer & Company, Lowell, Mass.
While there, he invented the seamless stocking, and the Shaw stocking loom. In 1869 he became a partner in the glue and phosphate business of Upton, Shaw & Company, Peabody and Brighton, residing at Cambridgeport. In 1876 he returned to Lowell and perfected the "Shaw-knit" stocking and loom, which in 1877 became the property of the Shaw Stocking Com- pany, of which he became and still remains manager. In 1888 he established the Babe's Ease Manufacturing Company.
BENJAMIN F. SHAW.
Mr. Shaw was married in Gardiner, Me., in January, 1853, to Harriet Newell Howard. Of this union were four chil- dren : Addie Frances, Clifford Franklin, Ralph Henry, and Jennie May Shaw.
While in Philadelphia he assisted in the compilation of the " Allen Primary Geog- raphy," and wrote "The Comprehensive Geography " for higher schools. This was a novel work, many of whose features have been adopted by succeeding or contempo- raneous authors, and was highly com- mended by Barnas Sears, President Hill of Harvard, and other leading educators. The book was compiled by night, after the work of the counting-house was over, and occu- pied in its preparation about three years.

SHAW.
While engaged in the glue and phos- phate business, he patented a number of processes and apparatuses incident and valuable to that business.
In 1880 he visited England to introduce the seamless stocking industry, and exhib- ited his looms in Chancery Lane, Lon- don, to manufacturers from every Euro- pean country, and at the palace of West- minster before the Lord Chancellor. He sold the English patent to a corpora- tion, to be operated at Leicester. His machine was threatened with destruc- tion by the hand-frame knitters of Leices- ter, and proposing investors were subjected to intimidation. Before leaving London he was complimented with a banquet, and with a public recognition of the service he had done textile manufacturers, second only to that of William Lee of England, the inventor of the first stocking-frame.
In 1879 he acquired a large tract of land on the Ossipee Mountain, Moultonbor- ough, N. H., which he laid out and im- proved under the name of " Ossipee Moun- tain Park." In 1882 the highest summit of the Ossipee Mountain range was named " Mt. Shaw " by the citizens assembled in their annual March meeting. This honor Mr. Shaw acknowledged by building a look- out on the summit, and by entertaining at his house the entire population of the town, July 4th of that year - a memorable event in the history of the town. This park, which has become famous for its romantic scenery, and its grand views of lake and mountains, and which is open to the public, is the summer residence of the family of Mr. Shaw.

This he continued until 1871, when he engaged in the wholesale flouring and prod- uce business, buying the interest of Mr. Swasey, of the firm of Sumner, Swasey & Currier. In 1880 he bought out the other members of the firm, continued the busi- ness about one year, and leased the prop- erty.

He then began the business of running steamers between Newburyport and Salis- bury Beach (Black Rocks), and from Ames- bury via Newburyport to Boston, under the name of " The People's Line," of which he is president and chief owner.
In 1882 he took the first contract to fur- nish sixty thousand tons of stone to build the north jetty at the mouth of the Merri- mack River. For furnishing the stone, he opened the quarry on the river near Chain Bridge, and formed the Newburyport Quarry Company, of which he is now presi- dent.
He was lessee of the Newburyport & Amesbury Horse R. R. about three years from 1884 In 1887 he built and owned the Plum Island Street Railway, and was
