Having early imbibed anti- quarian tastes, he has mingled with his professional occupations historic researches and is a member of both the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the Massachusetts Historical Society. Of the former of these he was six years chairman of the Library Committee and was one of the earliest promoters of those exhaustive researches in England, which have been carried on so successfully under its direction. To the Monthly Register of the Society he has been a frequent contributor. Among his contributions have been "The Hassam Family," 1870; "Some of the Deseend- ants of William Hilton," 1877; " Ezekiel Cheever and some of his Descendants," 1879; "Boston Taverns," 1880; " Early Suffolk Deeds," 1881, and " The Dover Set- tlement and the Hiltons," 1882. He has been especially interested in the care and preservation of records, and was appointed April 5, 1884, by the Superior Court for the county of Suffolk, one of the commissioners under whose authority the indices in the registry of that county are made. The arrangement now going on of the original files of Suffolk County Courts, including the Superior Court of Judicature under the provincial charter, is largely due to his efforts. Indeed, in every possible way that a deep antiquarian interest could suggest, he has labored successfully for the safety and preservation of not only the records of Boston, but those also of the Common- wealth. He married in Salem, February 14, 1878, Nelly Alden, daughter of Dr. John Henry and Jane Reed (Smith) Batchelder, of Salem, and his residence is in Boston.

LINUS CHILD, son of Rensselaer and Priscilla (Corbin) Child, was born in Woodstock, Conn., February 27, 1803, and passed his early years in the public schools and on his father's farm. He was finally placed under the charge of Rev. Samuel Backus, of East Woodstock, and later at the Bacon Academy in Colchester, Conn., where he was fitted for college. He entered Yale College in 1820 and graduated in 1824. After leaving college he studied law at the Law School in New Haven and in the offices of S. P. Staples and Judge Daggett in that city and continued his studies in the office of Ebenezer Stoddard in his native town. He was admitted to the bar in Connecti- cut, but preliminary to his admission to the bar in Massachusetts he studied a short time in the office of George A. Tafts, of Dudley, Mass. It is stated in the history of Worcester county that he was admitted to the bar there in 1826, which must be too early a date to admit of the prolonged periods of study in Connecticut and Massa- chusetts described by his biographers. He was admitted, however, to the bar in Massachusetts soon after the completion of his studies and established himself at Southbridge, Mass., where, on the 27th of October, 1827, he married Berenthia, daughter of Oliver Mason of that town. He remained in Southbridge eighteen years and during that time won for himself not only repute as a sound and sagacious law- yer, but as a political speaker, who by his logical and pursuasive appeals to the intel- ligence of the people, was a potential worker in the ranks of the Whig party to which he belonged. The writer well remembers the political gatherings in the Clay cam- paign of 1844, where his large and well proportioned figure, his massive head, his hand- some, expressive face and above all the convincing quality of his speech made him everywhere conspicuous and popular. During his residence in Southbridge he rep- resented Worcester county six years in the State Senate. In 1845 he was selected to take the agency of one or more of the large manufacturing corporations in Lowell and moved to that city. In Lowell, as in Southbridge, though having little time to devote to politics without impairing his usefulness in the responsible position he held, he did not fail to exert his powerful influence in those fields of usefulness in which it is the duty of every citizen to labor. In the welfare of his city and his church, in the good government of the one and the highest usefulness of the other, he took a deep interest, and gave to them freely his thoughts, his time and his means. In 1862 he removed to Boston and resumed there his professional business, associated with his son, who before that time had been admitted to the Suffolk bar and was then in practice in Boston. He died in Hingham, Mass., August 26, 1870.


LINUS MASON CHILD, son of Linus and Berenthia (Mason) Child, was born in South- bridge, Mass., March 13, 1835, and graduated at Yale College in 1855. He studied law in the office of his father in Southbridge and at the Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1858. He was admitted to the bar in Boston, October 16, 1858, and estab- lished himself in business in that city. He remained alone in practice until 1862, when his father, who, temporarily abandoning the law, had been since 1845 an agent of one or more of the mill corporations in Lowell, and had now removed to Boston, became as- sociated with him. Resembling his father, both in body and the quality of his mind, he was not long in attracting to himself a clientage, whose interests he faithfully served and whose fullest confidence he enjoyed. He was the trusted counsel of the Middlesex Street Railway Company, as long as it had a distinct existence, and of the Old South Church corporation in its various conflicts under the law. He has been largely en-

gaged before committees of the Legislature, and his arguments in support of petitions for a charter of an elevated railway in Boston and in favor of or opposed to other railway schemes have added to a reputation already established.

HISTORY OF THE BENCH AND BAR.


October, 1781, it was voted " that notwithstanding the vote of December 3, 1779, re- specting Mr. Fisher Ames, he be recommended to the Court of Common Pleas for the oath of an attorney of that court, in consideration of his having studied for four years and upwards, and his present state of health requiring a relaxation from all study, and in consideration of his cheerfully offering himself to an examination, and his moral, political and literary character standing in the fairest point of view." He established himself in Dedham, but as the roll of Suffolk lawyers in 1793 contains his name, it is probable that he had an office in Boston also.
