Walter, the American an- cestor, bought of the Indians a tract of land in what is now Littleton, Mass., and set- tled there. In the second generation the name of the family became changed to Pow- ers, and has since remained in that form. Charles Powers, the father of the subject of this sketch, first a farmer in Pepperell, where he was born, September 6, 1809, re- moved to Townsend and, associated with Noah Adams, carried on an extensive mill busi- ness, was at one time sheriff, gradually became a capitalist of considerable importance in the community in which he lived. Charles Edward attended the public schools, the Classical Institution of New Hampton, N. H., and graduated at Harvard in 1856. After leaving college he entered the Harvard Medical School, but after a suspension of his studies caused by his father's death he abandoned the plan of a medical career and entered the Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1858.

SAMUEL KING HAMILTON, Son of Benjamin R. and Sarah (Carl) Hamilton, was born in Waterboro, Maine, July 27, 1837. He is descended from a Scotch ancestor who settled in Berwick, Me., about 1666. The youngest of six sons, he attended first the public schools, and afterwards Limerick Academy and the Saco High School, and in February, 1856, at the age of nineteen, began to teach a district school in his native town. In September of that year he entered the Chandler Scientific Department of Dartmouth College and graduated in 1859. His education was secured by means obtained by teaching school in the winter months, and other employment, and with a view to the legal profession he entered as a student the office of Ira T. Drew, of Alfred, Me., where he remained several years, still pursuing at times the occupation of a teacher in Wakefield, Mass., and in the Alfred Academy, to enable him to com- plete his preparatory legal education. He was admitted to the bar in Alfred in June, 1862, and became associated in practice with his instructor, Mr. Drew, with whom he remained as a partner until 1867. He then removed to Biddeford, Me., where he had his home and office until December, 1872. While in Biddeford he represented the town in the Maine Legislature, and was chosen a member of the Board of Alder- men. He removed to Wakefield, Mass., on leaving Biddeford, and until 1878 was associated with Chester W. Eaton, with law offices in Wakefield and Boston, having been admitted to the Middlesex bar in December, 1872. Since 1878 he has managed alone a business chiefly confined to Boston. Since he became a resident of Wake- field he has served nine years as chairman of the School Board, two years as chair- man of the Board of Selectmen, and several years as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Beebe Town Library. His interest in the welfare of the schools of Wakefield has been so conspicuous that the town has recently named a new school house the "Hamilton School Building." Since his removal to Wakefield from Maine his business has been steadily increasing, and though his office is now in Boston his clientage throughout Middlesex county is constantly enlarging. The most important cases in which he has been employed as counsel, with the exception of the Wakefield water cases in which he was engaged, have been criminal trials, in- cluding a murder trial in Maine in 1867, another in Middlesex county in 1875, a trial for defrauding insurance companies, and the trial of a United States medical exam- iner in Boston. He married in Newfield, Me., February 13, 1861, Annie E., daugh- ter of Joseph B. and Harriet N. Davis, and his residence is still in Wakefield.
