married Sally Presson, who died before the first anniversary of her wedding day. He afterward married Mrs. Harriet Moore (born in Northport, May 9, 1791), relict of George Moore, and daughter of Thomas and Joanna (Martin) Knowlton, of Northport. Mr. Collins was a farmer, and also an effective local preacher of the Methodist Church. Like his father, he was a fluent talker, and being a keen observer, with a remarkably retentive memory, he seldom failed to hold the attention of the listener by a delightful flow of entertaining and instructive conversation. His wife died in Stark, prior to June 23. 1852. He died in Mercer, Nov. 18, 1869, aged 79 years, 1 month, 24 days.

Bonney (b. in Plympton, Mass., 1850), dau. of Horatio W. and Mary A. W. (Thayer) Bonney, of Plympton. Ile was a printer, and a soldier in the War of the Rebellion ( see p. 335 ) .* After the war he labored in various callings, and during the last years of his life at his trade. He was an easy, graceful writer, and a contributor to the New York Weekly, Portland Transcript, Waverly Magazine, Cottage Hearth, etc. While at work on the People's Fireside Journal, he was a large and conslant contributor to its col- umns. His pithy articles had a vein of quaint humor running through them which made them interesting and readable. These were always of a high order morally. Contrary to the usual custom with contribu- tors, he composed his articles for the Journal as he set them al the case. This was a difficult feat to perform, even for the most fluent writers, and but few have excelled in this method of composi- tion. William Chambers, of Edinburgh, formed an exception to the rule, and like Mr. Collins, conveyed his ideas from his brain to the composing stick. He d. in Middleboro', Mass., Oct. 20, IS85, s. p.
4. JOSIAH DUTTON, married Nancy Collins. Eight children were born of this marriage, six of whom were living March 7, 1884. He was a farmer, and licensed local preacher of the Methodist Church. His wife died Aug. 13, 1868, aged 77 years, 10 months, 19 days. He died at an advanced age.
* As previously stated, Mr. Collins learned his trade in the State Signal office, in Belfast. This paper was then under the editorial management of its proprietor, William L. Avery, with Ilon. Joseph Williamson as a contributor and assistant editor. Mr. Collins had as associates, Daniel Hamblen, now of Portland, Daniel Morrill, who is dead, and Frank W. Patterson, now of Belfast.

II. THOMAS CUSHMAN COLLINS, son of Joseph and Annah ( Hatch) Collins, married Jane Warren. He was educated in the common and high schools of Industry and Farmington, which he attended in winter alternating with work on the farm during the spring, summer and fall. When thirteen years old his father gave him his time and he began the battle of life for himself. At the age of eighteen he apprenticed to Richard Hiscock, an apothecary doing business at Farmington. After serving a year he left Mr. Hiscock and engaged in the manufacture of maple candy, for which he found a ready market in the neighboring villages as well as in the larger cities. At the age of twenty years he went to Middleboro', Mass .. and engaged in the manufacture of shoes and boots. This he followed steadily for twelve years, making in that time 60,000 pairs. May 12, 1849, he married Jane, daughter of James and Margaret (Finney) Warren, a descendant of General Joseph Warren. His wife died within a year of her marriage leaving an infant son. After a lapse of more than three years he laid aside the weeds of the widower and again assumed the gown of the benedict, marrying Lavina Warren, a sister of his first wife. In consequence of failing health, he moved to Farmington, in 1858, and purchased a farm hoping that a change of occupation might prove beneficial. He worked at farming until the spring of 1862, when he returned to Middleboro', where he has since made his home. In 1867 he accepted the agency for an
552

insurance company and was so successful in his own locality that he was soon appointed special New England Agent of the Hahneman Life Insurance Company at a salary of $2500 and expenses, with headquarters at 136 Washington St., Boston. After traveling extensively in New England for several years, failing health compelled him to relinquish his position and retire from the more active duties of the business, much to the regret of his employers. He has since built up a fine insurance business in the town of his adoption, where he is regarded as authority on all questions pertaining to the subject. The fact that he has held the nomination for county commissioner, representative and senator, and invariably ran ahead of his ticket (democratic), speaks well for his pop- ularity with his townsmen. He is serving ( 1888) the second term as register of voters in his town, and has been three times commissioned a justice of the peace. Methodical and accurate in his business trans- actions, his services as a magistrate are highly valued and widely sought. Aside from his other business, Mr. Collins has more recently engaged in real estate brokerage, in which he also receives a generous patronage.
