Dole, Charles A., son of Moses and Sarah Boardman (Titcomb) Dole, was born in Danvers (now Peabody), Mass., December 4, 1826. He is of the seventh generation in de- scent from Richard Dole, who at the age of fifteen years landed at Newbury Old Town, Mass., emigrating from Bristol, England, in the year 1639. The Genealogical Register of January, 1884, contains the following notice of Richard Dole : " Richard Dole, the first American an- cestor of all Doles of New England origin, and it is believed of most of those who bear the name in America, was baptized in Ringworthy, near Bristol, England, 1622 O. S. Ring- worthy had been the residence of his father, William, then living in Thombury, indented young Richard to ' John Lowle, Glover of Bristol.' When the brothers John and Richard Lowle and their father Percival, the ancestor of the present eminent family of Lowells, came to this country in 1639, they brought Richard Dole with them. The Lowle family settled in New- bury, Mass., and Richard Dole continued in their employ as a clerk, for a time. But he en- tered early, and with great activity and enterprise, upon business for himself. He long held a prominent place as a merchant in Newbury, and also became an extensive landholder, and left at his decease an estate of {1,840 - a large property for those times. He built and made his home through life on the north bank of the river Parker, just below where ' Oldtown bridge ' is now located. He was a man of marked ability and upright character, influential and respected as a citizen and Christian. He died at the age of eighty-three years." The house he built is now standing and is well preserved.


Educated in the public schools of Danvers, Mr. Dole, at the age of fifteen years, entered the employ of his uncle Wheeler, of the Salem Market House in Salem, Mass. He also

carried on a large slaughtering and packing business, supplying the numerous ships that at that period belonged to Salem. In the winter of 1848 and 1849 he caught the " gold fever," and joined the Salem and California Mining Company, who purchased the barque La Grange, sailing from Salem, March 17, arriving at the "Golden Gate," September 17, 1849. The Company of sixty-five disbanded October 29 following, and its members became scattered throughout the mining regions, of whom only about twelve survive. After spending some years in the " land of gold," he returned to his native place, anl in August, 1854, came to Somerville, and became superintendent for the well-known spice firm of Stickney & Poor at their factory in Charlestown, a position he has continued to hold for forty-two years, a portion of the time as partner. He is a director in the Stickney & Poor Spice Co., succeeding the old firm. In 1883 he was the originator of the first Society of California Pioneers formed in the New England States, and at the present time is president of "The Society of California Pi- oneers of New England," numbering over three hundred members. In the year 1870 he built the residenee on Perkins street, East Somerville, where he continues to reside. He has been twice married, and has a daughter and two sons from the second union, all of whom are now living.


Emerson, John Sherman, was born in Richmond, Va., January 13, 1859, being a direct descendant of Michael Emerson, who landed at Ipswich, Mass., in 1652. His daughter was IIannah Dustin, of Indian fame. Another descendant was Col. Nathaniel Emerson, of Can- dia, N. H., who won distinction in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Emerson's father, Richard Emerson, of Candia, N. II., married.Miss Margaret Wade. He saw service in the Mexican War, and in the latter part of the Rebellion followed the fortunes of Lee's army as a band- master. He died in California. Two years later, his mother dying in Richmond, the subject of this sketch, then eight years of age, came north, attended the public schools of Haver- hill, Mass., and of Great Falls, N. H. After two years at Sedgwick Institute, in Western Massachusetts, he entered the Bridgewater Normal School. Before completing his course there he taught in a "little red schoolhouse " for a short time, and organized the village High School in Candia, N. H., which he taught for two years, afterwards returning to Bridgewater, where he was graduated in 1881. He went directly from the Normal School to Rockland, Mass., to take charge of a grammar school. He left that position for a more lucra- tive one in Hingham; thence he went to Quincy, and later to Malden, having been induced in each instance to make the change for a larger salary. In April, 1894, Mr. Emerson entered upon the duties of his present position in charge of the O. S. Knapp School in this city. Since his coming to the school the building has been enlarged by the addition of four rooms and a ward-room, and the membership has increased to upwards of six hundred pupils. Mr. Emerson's record is one of which any teacher might well be proud. He seems to have been born for the work of teaching, and his success commenced with his first experience, and has been continuous; and yet he is most unassuming. He came to Somerville with the unequivocal endorsement of such well-known educators as Mrs. Abbie M. Gannett, Super- intendents C. A. Daniels and George E. Gay, of Malden, and others. In April, 1890, at Malden, he was married to Miss Charlotte L. Polson, who had been a successful teacher in Quincy, Mass., - a union which has contributed greatly to Mr. Emerson's success.


Freeman, Benjamin F., son of Edwin A. and Fanny (Jaycox) Freeman, was born at Oshkosh, Wis., September 23, 1854, and learned photography at the age of eighteen, in Rochester, N. Y. Five years later he came to Somerville, establishing a small studio on Lin- coln street. It was considered a daring act for a young man of twenty-three to launch into an enterprise that had so questionable an outlook for success. But Mr. Freeman had merit and push to assist him, and in two years he was obliged to go to his present studio, at 42 Broadway. He had ascertained that the people in this city and vicinity would patronize him if he offered them the same inducements as could be had in the metropolis, and accordingly

he supplied every facility and appointment for the best work in every line of artistic photog- raphy ; and the thousands who have had the henefit of his services - many of them being represented in this work - can attest to his success and skill. The high grades of work have commanded universal praise. and many a home has been made more beautiful by one of his pastels of some dear friend. He married Miss A. A. Baldwin, of Fulton, N. Y., in 1883, and has a son and daughter. On his mother's side, a trace in lineage is made direct to the renowned Ethan Allen. Mr. Freeman is a member of Soley Lodge, and of the Pho- tographers' Association of America.


Hall, John G., son of Lieut. Seth and Rhoda (Gilmore) Hall, was born in Raynham, Mass., October 27, 1810. Ile left his birthplace at the age of sixteen, walked to Boston, and entered the employ of his brother, who was conducting a provision store at the corner of Cambridge and Temple streets. A few years afterwards he went into the shipping and commission business, at 64 Chatham street, with Frederick Ladd, under the firm name of Ladd & Hall, which, at the death of the senior member in 1865, was changed to John G. Hall & Co. He subsequently took his two sons, Herhert C. and Irving G., into business, who, at his decease, August 10, 1881, succeeded him. Mr. Hall always enjoyed a name honored for his business integrity, excellent judgment, enterprise and industry. He married Sarah Cushing, daughter of Isaac Cushing, of Boston, in 1846, and they lived in Cambridge three years, when they occupied a new home erected for them at the corner of Summer and Belmont streets. It was among the first to be built on Spring Hill, and is still the Ilall home- stead. Mr. Hall was always held in the highest esteem by his townsmen, and, as he took a lively interest in the welfare of Somerville, his services were often in demand. He was a member of the School Board from 1859 to 1865, a member of the Board of Selectmen from 1869 to 1871, and of the first Board of Aldermen in 1872. His son, Herbert C. Hall, was a member of the Common Council in 1884 and 1885, and was president the latter year. Mr. Hall left a wife, five sons and one daughter, the latter being Mrs. Charles E. Ladd, of Portland, Ore.


Hathaway, Harry F., was born in Rutland, Mass., January 16, 1862, a son of Frank- lin and Mary A. (Davis) Hathaway. When quite young his parents moved to this city, where Harry was educated in the Brastow, Lincoln, Luther V. Bell and High Schools, grad- nating from the latter in 1882, when he took a prominent part in the French dialogue at the class graduation. Ile was a bookkeeper for the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum three years, but wishing to continue in educational work, he went to the Bridgewater Normal School, where he remained four years, graduating in 1889. The same year he was elected principal of the Lincoln School, where he had once been wont to obey instead of to govern. The school had been removed from the former site on Elm street to the top of Clarendon Hill, a new building taking the place of the old one. Three years ago, when the Bingham Schoolhouse was enlarged, it was deemed best to put a male principal over the school, and Mr. Hathaway was elected to succeed Miss Byard, and his duties have called forth the best elements in his make-up. He has had fine success, and the improvement has been very marked. Mr. Hathaway's parents removed to Vinal avenue about fifteen years ago, when the locality was almost unoccupied with houses, but they have all participated in the great development. In September, 1896, Mr. Hathaway married Miss Carrie E. Fay, one of his as- sistants in school work, and they now reside in the Hathaway home on Vinal avenue, the other members of the family having returned to the old homestead at Rutland, Mass. Mr. Hathaway is a genius in the way of teaching, availing himself of every possible means to the end that his scholars may be thoroughly instructed. He has made two summer trips through Europe on the bicycle, in company with Mr. Harry N. Andrews of the Dwight School, Bos- ton, and learned much which he was able to impart to his pupils.

Hemenway, Dr. Horace P., was born at Rochester, Vt., November 17, 1831, and was a son of Sidney S. and Miranda (Pierce) Hemenway. He lived for a time in Barton, Vt., but came a young man to Somerville, where he remained about thirty-five years, until his death, March 6, 1896. He married October 30, 1855, Sarah E., daughter of Isaac S. and Betsey (Davis) Gross, and had four children, three of whom, Charles M., Sarah G. (Bell) and Louise R., survive him. He was a graduate of the Harvard Medical School, and after graduation was, during his whole life, actively engaged in the practice of his profession in Somerville and the adjoining towns, where he was widely known and loved. He was at one time president of the Massachusetts Homeopathic Medical Society. He was much interested in Masonry, was the first Master of Soley Lodge, and was a past Eminent Commander of De Molay Com- mandery of Knights Templar of Boston. During his residence in Somerville he was in 1870 and 1871 a member of the School Board. In 1888 he was again elected a member of the board, and his term had not expired at the time of his death. He was a member of the First Orthodox Congregational Church, and was always much interested in its welfare and active in its support.


Niles, Louville V., was born in North Jay, Me., in January, 1839. He was the son of Varanes Niles, who when an infant was left fatherless. The mother and her child left Randolph, Mass., when he was about four years of age, and settled in North Jay. The mother of the subject of this sketch was Mehitable Harris, of Greene, Me. Mr. Niles passed his boyhood in his native town until 1860, when he came to Boston, working in the provision business, and in 1870 started out for himself, forming a copartnership with two brothers, under the firm name of Niles Brothers, which copartnership continued for twenty-six years, when it was merged into the Boston Packing and Provision Company. Industry, honorable dealing, and strict attention to business have accomplished fine success for the house. Their establishments are located on Concord avenue, Cambridge, and North Market street, Bos- ton. Mr. Niles removed with his family from Boston in 1882, purchasing the Bradshaw estate on Walnut street, and eight years later built a new house on the old site, which ex- tends from Munroe to Boston street.


Wemyss, George D., son of James and Margaret (Duncan) Wemyss, was born in Hawick, Scotland, in 1842. When he was a lad of twelve years the family located in Charlestown.

M., of Howard Lodge and Bunker Hill Encampment, I. O. O. F., all of Charles- town, and is a vice-president of the Scotch Charitable Society, and a member of the British Charitable Society.
