ON. ORRIN LEARNED, late an es- teemed resident of Clinton, Kennebec County, where his last years were spent, and where he died on July 2, 1903, was born in Burnham, Waldo County, Me., June 16, 1822, son of Joel and Margaret (Davis) Learned. The father, Joel Learned, who was born in Massachusetts in 1786, was a son of Haynes Ward, a native of Oxford, Mass., who settled in Livermore, Me., in 17SS. Haynes Learned was a son of General Ebenezer Learned, who served in 1775-76 in the Revo- lutionary War under Washington, being Colonel of a regiment at the siege and evacuation of Boston, and subsequently serving as Brigadier- general under Gates at the Saratoga battles in 1777, which resulted in the surrender of Bur- goyne.
General Ebenezer Learned was a lineal de- scendant in the fifth generation of William Learned, who came from England about 1632, was an inhabitant of Charlestown, Mass., in January, 1633, and a few years later was one of the early settlers of Woburn, Mass. Mrs. Margaret Davis Learned, mother of the subject of this sketch, was a native of Fairfield, Me.
Orrin Learned acquired his education in the common schools of Burnham, Waldo County, and at the academy in Benton, Kennebec County, Me. His father being engaged in
farming and lumbering, young Learned took naturally to these occupations, in which he continued for many years, or, indeed, for the greater part of his life. He inade his home in Burnham for over fifty years, removing to Clin- ton in 1900. Mr. Learned in his day took an ac- tive and useful part in public life. He served the town of Burnham for a number of years as Selectman, during a portion of the time being chairman of the board, and he was on the School Committee for ten years. He served as Representative from Burnham and the ad- joining towns in the State Legislature during the sessions of 1863 and 1873, and in 1877 and 1S7S he was in the State Senate, being one of the two Senators from Waldo County. His record in both houses was one of credit to him- self and benefit to his constituents. In politics he was a Republican. Mr. Learned was a Free Mason, belonging to the Blue Lodge in Clinton, to Dunlap Chapter, No. 12, R. A. M., in China, Me. He belonged also to Clinton Grange, P. of H., and was also a Knight Templar.
He was married in December, 1858, to Lydia A. Weymouth, of Clinton, Me., who died in December, 1862. She was the mother of one child, a son, Orrin A., who is now deceased. Mr. Learned married for his second wife January 1, 1872, Sarah A. Quinn, a native of Albion, Me., and daughter of Samuel and Theresa (Gilman) Quinn. Her father was a native of Vassalboro, and her mother of Albion. Mrs. Learned is a member of Clinton Grange, P. of H.
ILLIAM R. WOOD, president of the Portland Electric Railway Company since 1893, is one of the well-known business men of that city. He has been a resi- dent of Portland from his birth, which took place December 28, 1843, he being the eldest of four children of Dr. William Wood and his wife, Mary Curtis Stanwood.
Mr. Wood is descended from tlie Boxford (Mass.) family of this surname, whose founder, Daniel Wood, married, about the year 1674, Sarah2 Andrews, daughter of Robert' Andrews, of Rowley Village, now Boxford. Daniel' Wood, of Boxford (probably son of Daniel who died in Ipswich in 1648), Deacon of the first church,

was living in 1718. His wife died in September, 1714. Their son Jolm,2 born in March, 1680, married Ruth, daughter of Captain John2 Pea- body and grand-daughter of Lieutenant Francis Peabody, of Boxford, the founder of the Peabody family in New England, and died 175S. His wife died in 1759.
John,3 born in 170S, son of John2 and his wife Ruth, married Elizabeth Gerrish and settled in Dover, N.H. John,' son of John3 and Elizabeth, married September 17, 1772, Mary Emerson. Their son William,5 born in Bath in September, 1782, was the father of the late Dr. William Wood and grandfather of the Doctor's son, Will- iam R. Wood, whose name heads the present sketeh.
Through his great-grandmother Wood, whose maiden name was Mary Emerson, William R. Wood traees his deseent from a number of eolonial worthies of Massachusetts and the Dis- trict of Maine, among them the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, of Coneord, Mass., Rev. Joseph Emer- son, of Mendon, Henry Sewell, of Newbury, and the Rev. Samuel Moody, of York, Me.
Mrs. Mary Emerson Wood was born in 1750, daughter of Edward5 and Mary (Owen) Emer- son, of Malden, Mass., and York, Me., and grand- daughter of the Rev. Joseph+ and Mary (Moody) Emerson. Her grandfather Emerson, born in Chelmsford, Mass., was son of Edward3 and Rebecea (Waldo) Emerson and grandson of the Rev. Joseph2 Emerson (Thomas1) and his seeond wife, Elizabeth Bulkeley. The Rev. Joseplı2 Emerson preached successively at York and Wells, Me., and Milton and Mendon, Mass. When the town of Mendon was destroyed by Indians in King Philip's War, he removed to Concord. Elizabeth Bulkeley, whom he mar- ried December 7, 1665, was a daughter of the Rev. Edward2 Bulkeley and grand-daughter of the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, the first minister of Concord.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, born May 25, 1803, the one hundredth anniversary of whose birth has recently been celebrated, was a grandson of the Rev. Williams Emerson, of Coneord, who was a brother of Edward' Emerson, of York, Me. Rebecca, wife of Edward3 Emerson, was born in 1662, daughter of Cornelius and Hannah (Cogswell) Waldo. Her maternal grandfather
was John Cogswell, an early settler of Ipswich, Mass.
The Rev. Peter Bulkeley (Master of Arts, St. John's College, Cambridge, England, 160S) suc- ceeded his father as rector of Odell (or Wood- hill), Bedfordshire. He preached for about twenty years, was then silenced for non-con- formity, and came to New England in the spring of 1635. Descended from a noble family, he was honored for his own virtues, his learning, and his gifts as a preacher.
Mary Moody, wife of the Rev. Joseph4 Emer- son, of Malden, was born in York, Me., in 1702, daughter of the Rev. Samuel and Hannah (Sewall) Moody. Her father, born in Newbury in 1676, was son of Caleb? and grandson of Will- iam1 Moody, one of the early settlers of New- bury. Caleb Moody married in 1665 Judith Bradbury, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Per- kins) Bradbury and grand-daughter of John Perkins, of Ipswich.
Thomas Bradbury came to New England, it is said, in 1634, as agent of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. In 1636 he settled in Salisbury, Mass. He was a schoolmaster and an active and useful citizen, holding many public offiees, as Town Clerk, County Recorder, Assessor, Surveyor, County Commissioner, Associate. Judge, Clerk of Writs, Selectman thirty years, Deputy to General Court seven years, and Captain of a military company. His wife was aeeused of witchcraft, but aequitted.
The Rev. Samuel Moody (Harvard College, 1697) was minister of York, Me., 1698 till his death in 1747 (see History of Old York; also Sprague's "Annals of the American Pulpit," vol. i.). His first wife, Hannah Sewall, was daughter of John3 and Hannah (Fessenden) Sewall and nieee of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall. Her grandfather, Henry2 Sewall, born in 1614, came to New England in 1634, having been sent over by his father, Henry,1 who came later, and died in Rowley, Mass., in 1657. Henry' Sewall, born in Coventry, England, in 1576, was son of Henry, Sr., and Margaret (Grazebrook) Sewall (Titcomb's "Early New England People").

and Alice (Archer) Dunimer, and not long after- ward returned with her to England. In 1659 he came back alone, his wife and five children, who had been born to them in England, coming in 1661.
William5 Wood, grandfather of William R.,7 removed from Newburyport, Mass., to Scarboro, Me., settling at Dunstan's landing, where he be- came extensively engaged in ship-building and commerce. In his own vessels he exported merchandise to Russia. Brazil, and other for- eign countries. From Scarboro he removed in 1812 to Portland, where he continued in busi- ness, meeting with financial success. His death, December 16, 1833, at the age of fifty-one years, was caused by his falling through a hatchway in one of his vessels at the wharf. William5 Wood married Susan Simonton, daughter of William Simonton, of Cape Elizabeth, Me. They had four children, namely: Matthew S., born in 1807, captain of the brig "Neptune," who died at St. Jago, Cuba, of yellow fever, March 15, 1827, unmarried; William Wood, born in the old King mansion in Scarboro, October, 1810, who died in Portland. January 22, 1899, married; Rufus E., born in Portland, August S, 1812, who died in Portland, February 26, 1875, unmarried; Mary Elizabeth, born in Portland in 1820, who married John M. Batchelder, of Cam- bridge, Mass., and died in Philadephia, May 17, 1840.
Williamn® Wood, M.D., born in Scarboro, Me., in October, 1810, was graduated at Bowdoin College in 1829 and from the medical school in 1831. He subsequently continued his medical studies for three or four years in Europe, where he also travelled extensively. Returning to Portland after a prolonged absence, he practised his profession very successfully for many years. Eager for learning, he continued to be a student to the end of his days. He died in Portland, January 22, 1899.
Dr. Wood married Mary Curtis Jordan, a widow, whose maiden surname was Stanwood. She was born at Cape Elizabeth, November 21, 1819, and died in Portland, August 28, 1894. Their children were: William R., whose name appears at the head of this sketch; Mary Eliza- beth, who married Horace Anderson and has a daugliter Edith; Alice, born in Portland;
and Susan, who died in Portland, December 11, 1891.
William R. Wood was educated at the Port- land High School and at Bethel Academy. In 1861 lie became clerk for his uncle, Rufus Emer- son Wood, of Portland, with whom he remained till the latter's death. The business then com- ing into possession of Mr. Wood's father, Dr. Wood, the subject of this sketch was placed in charge of it, and managed it for the elder Wood until 1899. He is also connected with other important business enterprises, being president of the Portland Electric Railway Company, of which he has been a director for many years. For the last twenty-five years he has been a director of the Merchants' National Bank of Portland. He is treasurer of the Portland Elec- tric Light Company, is connected in a similar capacity with other organizations: and for many years formerly he was treasurer of the West- brook Mills. In all these positions of responsi- bility and trust Mr. Wood has shown a capacity, united with the strictest integrity, that has marked him as one of the foremost business men and influential citizens of Portland. He mar- ried October 10, 1872, in Orange, N.J., Isabel Prescott Hammond, daughter of Thomas and Sophia T. (Harris) Hammond, of Portland, her mother a native of Boston. He has one child, William, born July 24, 1873, who is now in busi- ness in Boston. Mrs. Wood, who was born April 21, 1839, in Portland, died June 4, 1896.
ON. JOHN LEAVITT STEVENS, LL.D., whose death on February 14, 1895, removed one of the most use- ful and distinguished citizens of Maine, was born in Mount Vernon, Kennebec County, August 1, 1820. His parents, John and Charlotte (Lyford) Stevens, were persons of superior mental and moral gifts; and from them, and especially from his mother, Mr. Stevens inherited the high talents that he con- spicuously displayed throughout his long public life.
His education was begun in the common schools of his native town, in which also he taught for some time. He later spent several years at Kent's Hill Seminary and the Water-

ville Classical Institute, afterward entering upon a course of theological study under the direction of the Rev. Nathaniel Gunnison, then settled in Hallowell. In 1845 he became pas- tor of the Universalist church in New Sharon, from which place he was soon called to Exeter, N.H. Returning to Maine after a year or two, he settled in Norway and afterward in Biddo- ford. His ministerial labors, which were pur- sued with characteristic energy and zeal, em- braced a period of ten years. Of his change to another and in some respects more extended field of service, we quote from an elaborate biographical article in the Kennebec Journal of February 9, 1895 :-
"Mr. Stevens early enlisted in the anti- slavery cause, and, after entering the ministry, blended his voice from the platform, as well as from the pulpit, with those who strove to arouse the public conscience as to the iniquity of slave-holding. The great questions of slav- ery and prohibition, which had begun to dis- integrate the old parties in Maine, demanded an abler press to expound the principles of the new party which was forming: and Mr. Stevens, at the solicitation of his lifelong friend, the then Governor Anson P. Morrill, retired from the pulpit to a wider field of moral usefulness with the pen editorial. He moved to Augusta in the winter of 1855-56, to become editor and publisher of the Kennebec Journal jointly with James G. Blaine. He continued to be the chief editor of the Journal until Janu- ary, 1869.
"Mr. Stevens was elected Representative to the Legislatures of 1865, 1866, and 1867, and State Senator in 186S and 1869. As a mem- ber of the House in 1867, he introduced a re- solve that led directly to the establishing in 1874, under the patronage of the State, of the Industrial School for Girls at Hallowell. To his philanthropic impulses, influence, and energy were due the inception and founding of that institution, of which he was one of the original trustees. While a member of the Sen- ate, in 1869, he vigorously advocated the pas- sage of a bill to abolish capital punishment, and delivered a masterly argument on the subject, which had much to do in the passage of such an act. This argument was afterward
published in pamphlet form in Stockholm, Sweden; and elicited favorable comments front European statesmen.
"In 1867 Mr. Stevens became the leading spirit, ably seconded by the late Ira D. Sturgis, in the enterprise of indueing the Sprague Man- ufacturing Company to bring capital to Augusta to more completely develop and utilize the power of the Kennebec dam. He conceived and advised the policy of municipal aid and encouragement, under which the Sprague un- dertaking has grown into the present great plant of the Edwards Manufacturing Company.
"In 1870 Mr. Stevens was appointed by President Grant United States Minister Resi- dent to Uraguay and Paraguay, whither he sailed with his family, and resided at Monte- video. He resigned that position in 1874, and returning home found pastime and rest largely in literary occupation. In 1877 he was ap- pointed by President Hayes Minister Resident to Sweden and Norway, and he resided with his family at Stockholm nearly six years, re- signing in 1883. Before returning home, he made an extensive tour of Europe for obser- vation and information concerning that coun- try. After his return from Europe he resumed editorial labor upon the Kennebec Journal, be- ginning November, 1SS7, and closing July 1, 1SS9.
"In June, 1889, he was appointed by Presi- dent Harrison Minister Resident to the Hawaiian kingdom, and soon after assumed the duties of the legation at Honolulu. In July, 1890, his official title was changed to Envoy Extraor- dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, the Ha- waiian mission having been raised to this grade by Congress. He resigned this position in the spring of 1893. In his several diplo- matic stations Mr. Stevens represented the country with dignity and credit, keeping the approval of his government in his service under five Presidents and maintaining an unim- peachable record for sagacity, prudence, and ability."
To the above quotation an Augusta publi- cation, the Gospel Banner of February 14, 1895, added: "Mr. Stevens was influential in the councils of the political party to which he thus early allied himself. As a citizen, neigh-

bor, and friend he was loyal, sympathetic, and true. That lie ardently loved what to him was genuine righteousness, and as sincerely disliked what he regarded as evil, was apparent to all who knew him at all intimately. While he rejoiced in the overthrow of evil, whether manifesting itself in personal conduct or through intrenched organizations, he was lenient toward the wrong-doer. Behind the robust moral nature, the exacting conscience, was the gentle and tender heart. Of his intellectual capa- bilities it is enough to say that in every posi- tion he occupied, as preacher, editor, legislator, foreign minister, and author, he was remark- ably successful. While at Stockholm hie pre- pared a history of Gustavus Adolphus and his times, which received complimentary notices from many competent reviewers."
Mr. Stevens was an effective and eloquent public speaker. On July 4, 1890, while Min- ister at Honolulu, he delivered a very able and patriotic address before the American citi- zens there resident. During the revolution that took place in 1892, he showed diplomatic skill and tact of a high order in the safe-guard- ing of American interests, his work contribut- ing materially to smoothing the way for the an- nexation of the islands to the United States. At Detroit, Mich., February 22, 1894, at the banquet of the Michigan Club, he delivered an able and highly interesting speech on the Ha- waiian Islands, founded on his own personal experience and knowledge of the history, cus- toms, government, and character of the people.
On May 10, 1845, Mr. Stevens was married to Mary Lowell Smith, daughter of Captain Daniel and Dorcas (Lowell) Smith, of Loudon Hill, Hallowell, Me. They were the parents of four children-John Howard, Elizabeth, Grace Louise, and Nellie Maria. The first two named died in infancy. The third child, Grace, a young woman of fine character and culture, died by drowning at the Sandwich Islands, January 20, 1893, while attempting to board a steamer. The other daughter and last sur- viving child, Nellie, passed away in Boston, Mass., on October 25, 1902, after a long ill- ness. "With more than common gifts of mind and heart, enriched by years of foreign resi- dence and travel, Miss Stevens possessed the |
brightness and charm which was ever a joy to all who knew her, and gave her the strength to bear the oft-recurring burden of loss and sorrow, with constantly failing health, cheer- fully and bravely to the end of a beneficent and beautiful life." Her death had been pre- ceded by that of her mother, which took place September 23, 1901, casting upon her the weight of another great sorrow.
OHN W. D. CARTER, of Portland, Me., president and treasurer of Carter Broth- ers Company, watchmakers and jewellers, is a native of Concord, N.H., and has been a resident of Portland since August, 1864.
Born April 30, 1840, son of Jacob and Caroline Ramsdell (Stocking) Carter, he traces his ances- try on the paternal side to carly planters of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and on the maternal to several of the old families of Connecticut. The direct male line, beginning with Thomas Carter of Salisbury, is: Thomas1; John,2 born at Salisbury May 18, 1650; Ephraim,3 born No- vember 2, 1693; Daniel,4 born in Salisbury, who removed to Concord, N.H., about 1750; Jacob,5 born February 14, 1755; Jacob,6 born June 4, 1796, father of John W. D., who is thus shown to be of the seventh generation of this branch of the Carter family in New England.
Thomas Carter received land at Salisbury, Mass., in the "first division" and in 1640, and was a townsman and commoner in 1650, as re- corded by Hoyt. His will, probated in Novem- ber, 1676, mentions his wife Mary.
John Carter was living when his wife Martha died, in March, 1717-18. Ephraim3 Carter, as stated in the History of Concord, N.H., served in the French and Indian War in 1746. He married Martha Stevens, supposed to have been the daughter of John3 and Ruth (Poor) Stevens, of Andover, Mass. John3 Stevens was born in Andover in 1663, son of Lieutenant John2 and Hannah (Barnard) Stevens and grandson of John1 Stevens, who removed from Newbury, Mass., to Andover about 1645. Hannah Bar- nard was a daughter of Robert Barnard, who lived successively in Salisbury and Andover, and afterward removed to Nantucket, where he died in 1682. (The birth date of Martha, daugh-

ter of John3 Stevens and his wife Ruth, is not mentioned in Hoyt's "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury," whence these genealogical items are taken.)
Daniel' Carter, son of Ephraim,3 married Hannah Fowler, supposed to have been the Hannah, born in March, 1711-12, daughter of Jeremiah3 (Thomas,2 Philip1) Fowler and his wife, Rebecca Colby. (As Ephraim3 Carter was but in his nineteenth year when Hannah, daugh- ter of Jeremiah Fowler, was born, if she married Daniel Carter, son of Ephraim, she was probably a few years older than her husband.) Philip1 Fowler, a native of Wiltshire, England, grand- father of Jeremiah, came over in 1634, in the ship "Mary and John," and was a freeman at Ipswich in September, same year. He died in 1679. His son Thomas,2 father of Jeremiah, married in 1668 Hannah Jordan (daughter of Francis1), and resided successively in Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass. He was a Representative in 1692, deceased 1727.
.
Rebecca Colby, wife of Jeremiah Fowler, was a daughter of Isaac2 and Martha (Jewett) Colby. Her father, Isaac Colby, was a "planter" of Salisbury in 1663, later was of Amesbury, where he died in 1684. His father, Anthony Colby, "planter," of Salisbury and Amesbury, received land in the "first division," in 1640, and 1643. He is mentioned by Savage as in Boston in 1630, a church member.
Jacob5 Carter married Sarah Eastman, daugh- ter of Moses' and Elizabeth (Kimball) Eastman. Her parents, both natives of Concord, were mar- ried in 1756. Moses Eastman was a soldier in the French and Indian War, serving as a scout in 1754 and as one of a company of rangers in 1755. He was also at Crown Point in 1762. He also saw service in the Revolutionary War, being with General Stark at Bunker Hill, and re-enlist- ing in 1777 and 1778. Born in 1732, son of Cap- tain Ebenezer and Sarah (Peasley) Eastman, he was grandson of Philip2 Eastman, whose sec- ond wife was Mary Morse, widow of Anthony Morse, and daughter of Thomas1 Barnard, of Salisbury and Amesbury.
Philip Eastman was a soldier in King Philip's War. (History of Haverhill, p. 125; "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury," p. 143; Bodge's History of King Philip's War, p. 372.)
Ebenezer Eastman was a Captain in his maj- esty's service, and served at various times from 1711 to 1746. (New Hampshire Province War Rolls; History of Concord, N.H., pp. 152-551.)
Philip? Eastman, born in Salisbury in 1644, was son of Roger1 Eastman, of Salisbury, house carpenter and planter, who received land in the "first division," in 1640, and 1643.
Elizabeth Kimball, wife of Moses' Eastman, was born September 23, 173S, daughter of David' and Mary (Wilson) Kimball. Her father, born in Bradford, Mass., in 1700, died at Concord in 1745. He was son of David3 and Elizabeth (Gage) Kimball. David3 Kimball, born in Brad- ford in 1671, died there in 1743. His wife Eliza- beth was a daughter of John Gage. Benjamin2 Kimball, father of David,3 was born about 1637 and died in 1695. He married in 1661 Mercy Hazeltine, born in 1642, daughter of Robert Hazeltine, of Bradford, and his wife Ann. Ben- jamin2 Kimball was son of Richard1 Kimball, of Watertown and Ipswich, Mass.
Richard Kimball was of the parish of Rattles- den, England. His wife was Ursula Scott, daughter of Henry and Martha Scott, of the parish of Rattlesden, county of Suffolk, England. ("Kimball Family," p. 29.)
Sarah Peasley, wife of Captain Ebenezer Eastman, was born in Haverhill, Mass., August 15, 1690, daughter of Dr. Joseph? Peasley and his wife, Ruth Barnard, the latter, daughter of Thomas1 Barnard, of Salisbury and Amesbury. Dr. Joseph was son of Joseph1 Peasley, who was of Newbury in 1641, later in Haverhill and in Amesbury.
