II. Pulaski F. Hyatt, my father, an account of whose life I will give later.
12. Dilwin L. Hyatt, born at Otego, Otsego county, New York, October 30, 1838, and died at the same place February 9, 1842.
GRIFFITH FAMILY .- Sabrina Griffith, my grandmother, was the daughter of Nijah and Hannah Griffith, of Lawrence, Otsego county, New York. She was born May 10, 1796, and married my grandfather, Thomas Hyatt, Oc- tober 30, 1813, when seventeen years of age. The Griffiths are of Welch descent, but when they came to this country is beyond my knowl- edge. My great-great-grandfather, Daniel Griffith, was born July 8, 1726, I think, at Oxford, Massachusetts. He was twice mar- ried ; by the first wife he had six children, and by the second wife nine children, fifteen all told. Their names and dates of birth appear in our family Bible. Six of the sons were revolutionary soldiers. My great-grandfather, Nijah Griffith, the third son by the second marriage, was born in Lawrence, Otsego county, New York, May 18, 1768, and was married to Hannah Rolland, who was born March 2, 1768, by whom he had thirteen chil- dren, eight boys and five girls. He was a tanner by trade, and kept a general store. Three of his children at an early date settled near Vandalia, Illinois, where many of their descendants still live. The two girls who
went there married brothers by the name of Washburn, one being the mother of seven- teen children, and the other of eighteen. My great-grandfather Griffith died February 27, 1831. His wife died February 5, 1840, and they are both buried in a country graveyard at Lawrence, 'Otsego county, New York.
"The writer of this sketch, Pulaski Fer- nando Hyatt, the seventh son and eleventh child of Thomas and Sabrina S. Hyatt, was born in Otego, Otsego county, New York, June 4, 1836, near the Christian church on the West Otsdawa creek.
"My early days were spent on the farm and attending school. At the age of thirteen I went to Troy, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, to live with my brother, L. Burdick Hyatt, and to attend the Troy Academy. Soon after- ward my father sold his farm in New York, and moved to Troy also. He sold the farm in Troy and moved to Smithfield, I going with him. For a time I divided my time between farming and attending school at the Troy Academy. At the age of eighteen I com- menced teaching school during the winter months, first teaching the Harkness school in Springfield. For three successive winters I taught what is known as the Bitner School in Beech Creek, Clinton county, Pennsylvania. When twenty-one years of age I commenced the study of medicine, with Dr. E. P. Allen, of Smithfield, but before concluding my stud- ies was induced to turn my attention to den- tistry, and graduated from the Baltimore Col- lege of Dental Surgery in March, 1860, after which I settled in Lock Haven to practice my profession. While living there I became ac- quainted with Miss Maggie E. Allen, of Montoursville, Lycoming county, Pennsyl- vania, and was married to her by my brother, Rev. L. B. Hyatt, January 1, 1861, at 2:30 p. m., and commenced housekeeping in Lock Haven, April 1, 1861. And I will here add that my wife has at all times been a most faithful and devoted wife and helpmate.
"We had not much more than got to house- keeping when the civil war between the North and South broke out, and in October, 1861, I joined Company D of the old Eleventh Penn- sylvania Volunteers, commanded by Colonel Richard Coulter, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and donned my first military suit at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My pa- rents were greatly grieved because of this step on my part, fearing that between the dangers of war and their advanced age, we would never meet again, but before leaving Camp Curtin I got a leave of absence and went to

see them at Smithfield. They were not ex- pecting me, and the emotions which came over us will have to be left to the imaginations of the reader. I remained with them but a day, and parted from them with my mother's bless- ing, and a father's admonition to do my duty bravely, and never be found with a bullet hole in my back, unless the ball had passed through me.
"I never saw my father again, as he died on the fourth of the following June. Soon after rejoining my regiment we took up the line of march and finally brought up at Annapolis, Maryland. Our regiment re- mained at Annapolis doing patrol duty until April, 1862, when we joined the Army of the Potomac under the command of General Mc- Clellan, opposing General Robert E. Lee. Our regiment was kept well to the front, and did much hard fighting during the spring, sum- mer and autumn of 1862. Besides numerous hard skirmishes not known as battles during this time, we were in the thickest of the fol- lowing battles, viz .: South Mountain, Cul- peper Courthouse, Thoroughfare Gap, Second Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg.
"After the battle of Fredericksburg, which occurred December 12, 1862, I was detailed to accompany the sick and wounded to Wash- ington, and while in Washington was by order of the Secretary of War transferred to the regular army, after which I was by order of the Surgeon General assigned to duty at Car- ver United States General Hospital, Washing- ton, D. C., under command of Surgeon O. A. Judson, where I remained until September, 1865, the war having closed on the April previous.
"My duties at Carver Hospital were re- sponsible but satisfactory. Owing to favor- able and near proximity to the Georgetown Medical College, I took advantage of the sit- uation to renew my medical studies, and grad- uated in medicine from that institution. Im- mediately after graduation I was ordered be- fore the United States Medical Examining Board at Washington, and after passing the required examination was appointed A. A. Surgeon, U. S. A., and at the request of Surgeon O. A. Judson was returned to Carver United States General Hospital for duty, and closing, in 1865, after which I resigned and was surgeon in charge of the same at its final closing, in 1865; after which I resigned and returned to civil life, although offered by the Surgeon General a place as surgeon in the regular army.
"Having during the war invested some
money in a farm at Smithfield, in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, I decided to go there for a time to rest and deliberate upon my future course."
(My father, Dr. Pulaski F. Hyatt, started to write an account of his own life in 1887. He got as far as the paragraphs quoted, which I found between the leaves of the family Bible, but he never finished the work.)
Dr. Hyatt formed a strong friendship dur- ing the war for Czar Dunning. He sold his farm at Smithfield and moved to the city of Bordentown, New Jersey, in 1866, where he and Mr. Dunning bought a drug store to- gether, and Dr. Hyatt practiced medicine. The doctor subsequently bought out Mr. Dunning's interest in the drug store.
Dr. Hyatt was one of the pallbearers at the funeral of Admiral Charles Steward, com- monly called "Old Ironsides," who was com- mander of the "Constellation" and "Constitu- tion," during the war of 1812, and who died at Bordentown, July 28, 1869. During the bitter presidential fight of 1876 Dr. Hyatt was sent to Florida as Samuel J. Tilden's confiden- tial representative, to superintend and investi- gate the count of the election boards of that state. He served for fifteen years as president of the board of trustees of the public schools of Bordentown, and for years was trustee and secretary of the Bordentown Female College. He declined the nomination as mayor of the city, and also a nomination on the Democratic ticket for member of the legislature at a time when Burlington county was strongly Demo- cratic and a nomination equivalent to an elec- tion.
He took a post-graduate course in medicine at Jefferson Medical College, 1883-84, and moved with the family to Lewisburg, Penn- sylvania, April 1, 1885. In Lewisburg he served for several years on the Board of Min- isterial Education of Bucknell University, and as deacon of the Baptist church nearly all the years he lived in that place. He was a man who never divorced politics and religion, and saw no reason why a man should abandon the latter, if active in the former. In politics he was a Democrat, and for two successive terms he was Democratic Chairman of his county (Union). Following this for three successive terms he was elected Democratic chairman of the sixth Division of Pennsylvania, including Potter, Tioga, Clinton, Lycoming, Union and Snyder counties, and in 1891 was prominently mentioned throughout the commonwealth for Democratic state chairmanship. While divi- sion chairman, Dr. Hyatt early felt the public

bearing favorably for the nomination of Rob- ert E. Pattison as governor of the common- wealth, and he consulted with the late Ilon. Charles S. Wolf concerning the advisability of bringing Mr. Pattison out as a candidate. Mr. Wolf replied that in a political sense he owed the ex-governor nothing, but as he be- lieved Mr. Pattison an upright, fearless and able man, peculiarly suited to the times, he would support the ex-governor if a candi- date. Joel Herr Esq., of Clinton county, a prominent Republican and Granger, and many others of like kind, informed the chairman to the same effect. Armed with this knowledge he wrote Mr. Pattison of the situation in cen- tral Pennsylvania, and Mr. Pattison consulted with Hon. William F. Harrity, then post- master at Philadelphia. Mr. Harrity then in- formed Chairman Hyatt that if the sentiment elsewhere in the state should crystalize in favor of Mr. Pattison, the ex-governor would enter the field as a candidate. Circumstances favorable to the accomplishment of this end came thick and fast. It was thought if the Republicans put forth Delamater there would be enough deflection from the Republican ranks to elect Mr. Pattison. The division chairmen, nine in all, controlled the place and date of the Convention. Excluding the vote of Chairman Hyatt, there was a deadlock as to the arrangements. His vote decided that the nomination convention of 1890 should be held after the Republican state convention, and at Scranton, a Pattison stronghold, instead of Harrisburg, where the Wallace men wanted it. After Mr. Pattison's nomination and election, to secure which Chairman Hyatt worked with tireless energy, no recognition was asked of the Governor for himself, but he did ask the Governor that the services of his division sec- retary, T. Kittera Van Dyke Esq., and of the Hon. Charles F. Wolfe, be properly recog- nized. Mr. Van Dyke was made chief clerk in the corporation department in the state ad- ministration, and Mr. Wolfe was appointed director-general of the Pennsylvania exhibit at the World's Fair, Chicago, although he did not live to assume the duties of his appoint- ment.
Governor Pattison having declined to stand in the way of ex-President Cleveland's nomi- nation at Chicago, and Mr. Harrity becoming Democratic national chairman in the mean- while, both gentlemen were in a position to be heard by Mr. Cleveland after his election, and they made it a personal matter to urge my father for a foreign appointment. Letters of endorsement were addressed to Mr. Cleveland
by ex-Governors Curtin and Beaver; Con- gressman Wolverton, McAleer, Hutchler, Kribbs, Beltshoover, Reilly and Hines ; Demo- cratic State Chairman James Kerr, President Judges Orvis, McClure, Savage, Peek, Metz- ger and others. The result was his appoint- ment on June, 8, 1893, as United States Consul at Santiago de Cuba, with sub-offices at Daiguiri, Guantanimo, Santa Cruz del Sur and Manzanille-a jurisdiction in which over $17,000,000 of American capital were invested, and which shipped over 1,000,000,000 pounds of freight monthly to the United States. The commercial side of this appointment, however, was soon dwarfed in importance by the diplo- matic duties which arose because of the out- break in Cuba of a desolating insurrection, the first official information of which was given our government by my father in dispatch No. 95, of February 23, 1895, two days before the formal birth of the war. This dispatch, to- gether with others relating to subsequent "Affairs in Cuba," were published in a message from President Cleveland in 1895, making a document of 206 pages, about one- half of which were written by my father, and concerning which ex-Minister Moret, the greatest Spanish authority on international law, said in a speech in the Spanish national cortes : "When the work was published for the first time somebody well versed in diplo- matic affairs told me that it was an admirable paper, in which were reflected the history of the insurrection and the character it bore at its beginning. After I read it I found that the aforesaid opinion was well grounded, and I am constrained to believe that when you shall hear what I am going to tell you, you will agree with me, at least as far as regards the importance of the revelations it contains."
The energetic protection given the Ameri- can interests by Consul Hyatt prior to our war with Spain so aroused the animosity of the Spanish residents at Santiago that they made several attacks upon the consulate. Among others, he secured the release of Thomas Bol- ton, Manuel Fuentes, correspondent of the New York World; and Dr. Agremonte, Julian Sains and Augustus Richelieu, American citi- zens, whose unjustifiable arrests and confine- ment in the foul prisons of Eastern Cuba created no little excitement in this country. During the days of Weyler's reconcentration he distributed about twenty shiploads of medi- cine, clothing and provision contributed by the American people for the suffering Cubans. When diplomatic relations with Spain were broken off, immediately before the outbreak
I395

of the Spanish-American war, the American government sent instruction through Consul Dent, of Jamaica. recalling Consul Hyatt, and the steamship Brookline was dispatched to Santiago to relieve him. But Consul Hyatt refused to abandon his post at such a time un- til he got orders direct from Washington, and held the ship twenty-four hours pending their receipt. When he left Santiago, soon to be- come the principle theatre of war, he was, upon order of General Toral, Spanish mili- tary governor, escorted by fifty policemen from the consulate to the ship in waiting as a protection against the assaults of the gath- ering mob.
January 1, 1861, Dr. Hyatt married Mar- garet E. Allen, of Williamsport, Pennsyl- vania, by whom he had the following chil- dren: I. Maggie Hyatt, born October 14, 1864, died at birth. 2. Paul Allen Hyatt, born March 16, 1866, died February 6, 1870. 3. John T. Hyatt Esq., born September 12, 1868, now practicing law at Jersey Shore, Pennsyl- vania. 4. Fred P. Hyatt, born October 19, 1871, died April 23, 1878.
From an editorial in the Williamsport Sun of January 18, 1904 :
"Pulaski F. Hyatt, whose death occurred at Jersey Shore last evening, was a man of more than ordinary ability, a fact that was recognized by both President Cleveland and President McKinley. By the former he was appointed consul at Santiago de Cuba, and his services were so ably and satisfactorily per- formed that he was retained in the position by Mr. Mckinley. His work in behalf of the Cuban people prior to the Spanish war won for him the praise of the American nation. Mr. Hyatt was a man of rare good judgment and intrepid courage. His death removes one of the most highly respected residents of the West Branch valley."
Taken from the eulogy of Dr. Enoch Per- rine, Professor of Literature at Bucknell University, and delivered at the funeral of Dr. Pulaski F. Hyatt, at Jersey Shore, Penn- sylvania, Wednesday, January 20, 1904 :
"Because we live so close to the mountains we take little note of them and rarely, if ever, bid them a cool 'Good morning.' When we are far away on some wide extended plain or when only the level and boundless ocean sur- rounds us, then we are sure to appreciate them as we recall how they silently but constantly lift their lofty heads to the skies, bidding us follow. So with our friends. It requires that Death shall bear them from us on the long voyage-and then they loom up large, becom-
ing eloquent through the unbroken silence into which they have passed.
"There is little of noble ambition in the world compared with what there might be, and this small amount is so often done to death by the disappointments of the years, that his early and ceaseless desire to push onward strikes us most forcibly in the life of Dr. Hyatt. That little farm in New York in the early fifties of the last century was in his opinion too narrow a field and the wide world with a conspicuous place in it became his goal while yet a boy. Hence there was the gradu- ation from a medical college, the unselfish de- votion of physician and surgeon in both war and peace, the political leadership in National as well as in State and local politics, the splen- did work as representative of his country on foreign shores, and crowning all his promi- nence in the church of his choice-an ambition to play well a man's part on as wide a stage as he could command. Disappointments ? Yes, a plenty of them ; but these slackened his steps not for a moment, and nothing but a deadly malady called even a halt to his stout heart always aspiring to better things.
"But ambition, even though its quality be noble, is not always displayed in a winsome personality. Some, like the younger Adams, confer a favor in such a way as to make of its recipient an enemy; and others, like Gold- smith, love to do good by stealth, not caring whether it be found out even by accident. Of these latter was Dr. Hyatt. It was the writer's fortune to be by his side in secret consultation with the President of the United States in the White House; by his side when a new life raised its first cry to the world, when applaud- ing citizens welcomed him home from posi- tions of difficulty and peril, often in the pri- vacy of his own home,-and in every case it was the calm, quiet, unassuming, genial, mas- terful spirit thinking, speaking, acting as though Eternity itself were looking at him, Eternity in whose presence the mean and the base cannot live, Eternity that pours around all who stand in awe of it a light far more attractive to the beholder than that which paints the sunset cloud with unspeakable beauty at the close of an October day.
"No wonder that the same spirit so domi- nant in his life, should persist to the last, and that those who stood by when the final mo- ment came, as they looked and listened, could truly exclaim as Mr. Blaine did of the dying Garfield : 'Let us think that his dying eyes read a mystic meaning which only the rapt and parting soul may know. Let us believe
1390

that in the silence of the receding world he heard the great waves breaking on a farther shore and felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the eternal morning.' It is one of the compensations of life to know inti- mately those who illustrate, in these ways, the better side of human nature; to discover them ere yet Death has put them beyond the grasp of our hands is a benediction ; and to bid them 'Farewell' is but to look longingly after them as they go into a world whither we shall fol- low and in which no word is ever spoken."
FAIRBANKS Jonathan Fairbanks ( Faire- banke, Fairbank) was born before 1600 in England. But little is known of his immediate English ancestors. He came from Sowerby, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1633, to Bos- ton, Massachusetts, and settled in Dedham, where he built the noted Fairbanks House. This house is an object of great interest to visitors to Dedham. The house as it stands to-day was probably complete as early as 1654. It is claimed that the oldest part was built in 1636. In his will, dated June 4, 1668, he bequeathed the house to his eldest son John, and it has since been occupied succes- sively by John, Joseph, Joseph, Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Prudence, Sarah, Nancy and Re- becca. In July, 1892, the house was struck by lightning and damaged, and Rebecca Fair- banks removed for a time to Boston, but later returned and occupied it until 1904, when the Fairbanks Association took possession of it and will preserve it indefinitely.
Jonathan Fairbanks signed the famous Ded- ham covenant which regulated the future con- duct of the town. Among the one hundred and twenty-five signers were his sons John, George and Jonathan Jr. Jonathan Fairbanks was admitted a freeman March 23, 1637-38, and received numerous grants of land. He joined the church August 14, 1646. He died in Dedham, December 5, 1668. He married Grace Smith, who died December 28, 1673, or May 19, 1676. Children, born in England : I. John, mentioned below. 2. Captain George, married Mary Adams. 3. Mary, born April 18, 1622, died May 10, 1676, or June 4, 1684; married Michael Metcalf April 2, 1644; mar- ried (second) August 2, 1654, Christopher Smith. 4. Susan, died July 8, 1659; married Ralph Day. 5. Jonas, killed by the Indians during a raid in King Philip's war February 10, 1676; married, May 28, 1658, Lydia Pres- cott. 6. Jonathan, died January 28, 1711-12; married Deborah Shepard.
(11) John, son of Jonathan Fairbanks, was born in England and died November 13, 1684. He was the eldest son, and inherited the homestead, where he lived. In 1638 he was appointed with John Rogers to survey the Charles river. He was one of the sign- ers of the Dedham Covenant. He was ad- mitted a townsman as early as 1642. He married Sarah Fiske, March 16, 1641, and she died November 26, 1683. He received two grants of land, one in 1640, the other a year later, and in 1656 a third. In 1663 he was sent in company with Daniel Fisher to ex- amine the land at Deerfield. He held some local offices and was admitted to the church May 4, 1651. His will was dated November IO, 1684, and proved February 19, 1685. Children : 1. Joshua, born May 26, 1642, died February 5, 1661. 2. Lieut. John, February 7, 1643, died September 14, 1706; married, March 1, 1671-72, Hannah Whiting. 3. Sarah, December 9, 1645, married Sawyer. 4. Jonathan, November 10, 1648, died March I, 1661-62. 5. Mary, December 25, 1650, died December 31, 1650. 6. Martha (twin), De- cember 25, 1650, died January 6, 1651. 7. Joseph, May 10, 1656, mentioned below. 8. Hannah, February 10, 1657, married, June 26, 1688, Samuel Deerin, of Milton, Mas- sachusetts. 9. Benjamin, February 17, 1661, died December 5, 1694.
(III) Deacon Joseph, son of John Fair- banks, was born in Dedham, May 10, 1656, died June 14, 1734. He made an agreement with his brother Benjamin, the original of which is still preserved in the old house, whereby he retained a part of the homestead, where he resided. He was admitted a free- man in May, 1678. He married, in 1683, Dor- cas - -, who died January 9, 1738. Chil- dren: I. Dorcas, born March 14, 1686, mar- ried (first) May 20, 1714, Rev. James Hum- phrey ; married (second) July 9, 1735, Will- iam Woodward; married (third) August 7, 1751, Andrew Blake. 2. Joseph, mentioned below.
(IV) Joseph (2), son of Deacon Joseph (I) Fairbanks, was born in Dedham, April 26, 1687. He inherited a part of the home- stead, and resided there. On March 9, 1752, he sold the homestead and eight other tracts of land to his son Joseph Jr. He married, May 3, 1716, Abigail Deane, born in Ded- ham, June 12, 1694, died December 31, 1750, daughter of John and Sarah Deane.

9. 1718, died October 25, 1794; married Mrs. Mary Lewis (intentions dated November 30, 1753). 3. Abigail, March 9, 1721, died Sep- tember 20, 1798, unmarried, "of a palsie." 4. Israel, May 28, 1723, died February 25, 1809; married, May 30, 1751, Elizabeth Whiting. 5. Sarah, June 4, 1726, died September II, 1749, unmarried. 6.

Ebenezer, September 26, 1732, died Feb- ruary II, 1812; in the revolution; married, December 16, 1756, Prudence Farrington. 8. Benjamin, August 17, 1739, in the revolution ; married, September 9, 1762, Sarah Kingsbury. (V) Joseph (3), son of Joseph (2) Fair- banks, was born in Dedham, May 21, 1717. He lived on the homestead and in Wrentham, where some of his children were born. He removed to Maine, and his name appears on the records of Winthrop, Maine, in March, 1775. He settled on lot 82, at present known as the Haskell farm, where he lived until the last few years of his life, which were spent at the home of his son Joseph, a mile distant. He died November 27, 1794. He was remarkably gifted in a mechanical way, a trait which was inherited by many of his descendants. In all things which demanded a knowledge of mechanics, a Fairbanks seemed to be the one who could best supply the de- mand, and they became noted as the best workmen in the country. Joseph Fairbanks married in April, 1744 (intentions dated March 24, 1743-44), Frances Estey, of Stoughton, who died in Winthrop, Maine, No- vember 10, 1806, in her ninety-second year. Children, the first five born in Dedham, the others in Wrentham : I. Experience (Temper- ance), February 21, 1744-45, died April 29, 1769. 2. Benjamin, November 20, 1746, died in Winthrop, May 28, 1828; married (first) October 29, 1772, Keturah Luce; (second) May 17, 1808, Lydia White; (third) February 8, 1821, Sally Blue. 3.
