3. CHARLES ROBINSON FISH, son of Asa Q. and Esther A. (Horn) Fish, married Lucinda Cunningham. Being a youth of good principles and studiously inclined, he acquired by diligent, persevering effort a fine English education, and graduated from the public schools of his native town, with the first class after the adoption of Wade's Graduating Sys- tem ( see p. 100). The summer following his graduation he worked on a farm in Anson at $20 per month. In the fall he attended the high school at West's Mills, but left before the term closed to accept the position of teacher in the town of Stark. The term proved eminently successful, and after its close, in January, 1884, with the snow two feet deep, he began his first trip as a "tree missionary." The territory assigned him was the western part of Anson Valley and New Portland. A more unpropitious field for an inexperienced canvasser, eighteen years of age, could hardly have been found. The result of his labors was discouraging in the extreme. Four days of faithful work and not a single order. Many young men would have become disheartened and abandoned the work in despair. But young Fish was made of different mettle. He went bravely on, and on the fifth day was rewarded by his first order of $12 from a lady in East New Portland. This greatly en- couraged him, and when Saturday night came he was able to make a very creditable report to his employers. He worked on the horse cars in Lewiston for about three months in the summer of 1884, at $10 per week, but was obliged to give up his position on account of his health. Again he engaged in the nursery business at $35 per month and ex- penses, making a canvass of Lewiston and Auburn with gratifying

HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.
success, counting among his customers many prominent citizens, such as Ara Cushman, the shoe manufacturer ; Ex-Governor Garcelon, etc. During the winter of 1884-5 he taught a three months' term of school in his native district. The following spring he resumed the fruit-tree business at a salary of $45 and expenses. He continued in the employ of one firm for three years with increased salary. With the knowledge gained and money saved from his three years' work he began business for himself with headquarters at South Framingham, Mass. From the start this new venture proved a success, the first year netting him a handsome sum. For the two succeeding years he had as a partner D). W. Whitmore, also a native of Maine. The business was conducted under the firm name of Chas. R. Fish & Co. The volume of business was greatly increased and at length was removed to Worcester. After a pleasant and prosperous co-partnership of two years, Mr. Fish bought out his partner and assumed the entire management of the business, and during the year sold between $8,000 and $10,000 worth of stock. Mr. Fish is a member of the Dewey Street Baptist Church and an earnest, efficient worker for the cause. He has a pleasant, happy home in Worcester, where he enjoys the confidence and esteem of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Still young in years, he is to be counted a successful business man, while before him lies a brilliant future.

* In reply to an inquiry concerning the identity of the name Goodridge and Goodrich, Mr. Horace A. Goodrich, of Chicago, HL., author of a genealogy of the Goodrich family, writes : " We do not regard the name as the same, though there is no doubt but what they may have originally sprung from the same source. But for a long time back, especially in this country, the families have been separate, though some of the Goodridges have subsequently written their name Goodrich.

JOHN GOODRIDGE, a younger brother of the forenamed Jonathan, was born in Alfred, March 17, 1773. He married (pub. Oct. 5, 1799), Hannah Goodwin, of Shapleigh (born May 4, 1778). Esq. Wm. Allen says ( History of Industry, p. 17 ) that John Goodridge came to town in 1800. This is probably incorrect, as his name does not appear either on the petition for incorporation of the town or list of voters in 1803. He settled on the farm near Goodridge's Corner now owned by Cyrus B. Odell. His log-cabin was afterward occupied by Elisha Luce, who came from Farmington. All evidence has a tendency to prove that both brothers came to town about the same time. After a few years' sojourn John moved away and all traces of him have been lost.
