In 1861 he was quartermaster of the Thirteenth Connecticut Regiment, and in 1862 as- sistant adjutant-general of the Northern Division of the Department of the South.

He died in Concord, Mass., September 15, 1853. He was not only a sound lawyer, but a man of pungent humor and keen sarcasm. His pres- ence as counsel in court was always sure to attract a general attendance of the younger members of the bar. If his opponent had any strong point in his favor, whether of the law, or oratory, or personal character, he would inevitably weaken it by some sally of wit, which often gave not only the laugh but the verdict to his side. lle was, for instance, once trying a case with Samuel Hoar, of Concord, on the other side. Mr. Hoar was a man universally respected for his dignity, conscientiousness

and integrity, and his almost prayerful seriousness rarely failed to impress the jury with the justice of his cause. After one of his impressive appeals, Mr. Fuller arose and said, " Now, gentlemen of the jury, let us close the exercises of this solemn occa- sion, etc." From that moment Mr. Hoar's appeal was dead. Its recall only excited a smile and the effect which his solemnity usually inspired was lost.

THEOPHILUS PARSONS CHANDLER was a descendant from Edmund Chandler, who came to New England and settled in Duxbury, Mass., in 1633.

He was a prominent man in the district in which he lived, serving as coroner by appointment of Governor Hutchinson, and in 1784 as repre- sentative to the General Court of Massachusetts Bay, of which Maine was a part. His son Peleg Chandler, jr., was born in New Gloucester, September 9, 1773, gradu- ated at Brown University in 1795, and studied and practiced law in his native town until 1826, when he removed to Bangor, where he continued until his death January 18, 1847.

November 4, 1831, where he remained in full practice until the summer of 1836, when he removed his office to Boston, where it continued more than forty years. For more than fifteen years he occupied the same offices at No. 4 Court street with John A. Andrew, with whom at one time he was in partnership, and with whom a warm friendship was of lifelong duration. Among others with whom he was connected by a strong attachment and by relations of a most confidential character were William Pitt Fessenden, Charles Sumner and Salmon P. Chase, all of whom often sought by an interchange of views to guide and fortify their political courses by the aid of his counsel and advice. The unhesitating and heroic integrity of Fessenden, the fearless expressions of anti-slavery sentiments of Sumner, and the masterly ability of Chase as a financial minister received from him unstinted words of praise and an incentive to still higher and better efforts. At one time Mr. Sumner says to him, "My dear Chandler, cheerfully and often I read all that you write. If I do not acknowledge it at once, it is because I am absorbed in other things. Pray write me always. You always go right to the point and I understand you." At another lie says, "My dear Chandler: You are in favor of free banking. Will you put the argument on paper? You always state a case clearly and strongly. Let me have the benefit of your way of stating the case." Nor did Mr. Chase, full of resources as he was, hesitate to ask for suggestions from Mr. Chandler which might aid him in formulating that system of finance including national banks, which made the suppression of the Rebellion possible. The preference of Mr. Chandler was for equity principles and practice, and he was actively engaged in important cases chiefly on the equity side of the court until 1849, when he was called by his clients to take the presidency of the Northern Railroad of New York, known also as the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Rail- road, an enterprise of great concern to Boston, which office he held for four years. William A. Wheeler, of Malone, N. Y., late vice-president of the United States, with whom Mr. Chandler became associated at that time, attributed his success in life to Mr. Chandler's early recognition and aid. Under a resolve of the Massachusetts Legislature, passed February 5, 1861, Mr. Chandler was appointed one of seven com- missioners to attend the peace convention in Washington, and in June, 1863, he was appointed United States assistant treasurer for Boston, holding the office until 1868. From 1836 to 1848 he was a resident of Boston, and in May, 1848, moved to Brookline, where he remained until his death, always taking a deep interest in the welfare of the town. His efforts were largely the means of establishing the Brookline Public Library in 1857, and he was one of the trustees until 1866. He organized the Brookline Land Co., and was a trustee until his death. In politics he was a Free Soiler and Republican, in theology he was first a Calvinist, but the larger part of his life a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg, and was a leading spirit in the erection of the Brookline Swedenborgian church. He married September 20, 1837, Elizabeth J., daughter of William Schlatter, a merchant of Philadelphia, and one of the founders of the Swedenborgian church in that city. Mr. Schlatter was a grandson of Rev. Michael Schlatter, of St. Gall, Switzerland, whose travels and labors in America pro- moted by the Christian Synod of the Netherlands lasted from 1746 to 1790, and who served as chaplain in the French and Indian wars and in the War of the Revolution, when in 1777 he was imprisoned and his house in Philadelphia sacked by the British on account of his loyalty to the colonists. Mr. Chandler died at his home in Brook- line, December 21, 1886. He was the father of seven children, four sons and three
