several successful years he sold out, and asso- ciating himself with his elder brother, William, in the general mercantile business at Spring- vale, and later with Samuel Lord, carried on trade until 1846. In that year he erected a store at the Corner, in which he traded in association with various partners until 1869. He was cashier of the Mousam River Bank, 1856-57; president of Sanford Bank, 1860- 61. He was deputy sheriff for several years, sheriff by appointment in 1856, served the town on the board of selectmen for five years and was treasurer for three years, discharging his duties with zeal and ability. During the civil war he rendered especially valuable serv- ices to the town. He was an ardent Demo- crat, and as such, was several times a candi- date for county offices. He was jealous of the reputation of his party and resented any remarks against it as he would against his own character. He was of a generous dis- position, and many a poor man owed him a debt of gratitude. He married, February 27, 1832, Alice, born June 3, 1803, died January 17, 1879, daughter of Moses and Rachel (Car- roll) Pray, of Sanford, Maine. Their chil- dren were: I. Harriet A., born November I, 1832, is unmarried and resides in Washington, D. C., where she is a clerk in the treasury department. 2. Benjamin F., born June 16, 1834, died in Sanford, May 28, 1882. 3. Moses W., born April 1, 1836. 4. Charlotte S., born July 25, 1838, married John B. Bod- well; died in Logan, Kansas, April 9, 1882. 5. Samuel Benton, see forward.
(IX) Samuel Benton, third son and young- est child of Samuel B. and Alice (Pray) Emery, was born October 15, 1848, on the Emery homestead in Sanford, where he re- sided with the exception of two or three years until October, 1898, when a residence was bought at Melrose, Massachusetts. He at- tended school at Lebanon Academy and Maine State Seminary, Lewiston. At the age of eighteen years he entered the store of his father as clerk, and on January I following formed a copartnership with his father under the firm name of S. B. Emery & Son. This was continued until the health of his father failed, and for two years he was associated with his brother, Moses W., and then the busi- ness was sold to Nowell & Bennett. After several months spent in various occupations he contracted with the Sanford Mills Company for the handling of their waste products and commenced the manufacture of mattresses for the trade. Being convinced that there was a demand for a furniture store in Sanford, he
added furniture to his business. The first lot received consisted of about two carloads of common varieties. The business prospered and later carpets, crockeryware, wall papers and general housefurnishings were added. A further contract was made with the Sanford Mills Company about 1882 for the sale of their plush remnants and seconds. When the citi- zens decided that a larger school building was needed, and the old one was to be sold, Mr. Emery saw his opportunity for a larger store, and buying the building, removed the same to a vacant lot on Washington street and added largely to its length. Having need of still more room in 1898, further addition was made, making this the largest store building in San- ford. Mr. Emery has never taken an active part in political matters, often remarking that his father, an active politician, only made ene- mies, and he preferred to devote his energies in other directions. He has always taken a leading part in all public enterprises, and was treasurer of no less than six corporations and organizations. For several years he has been the largest individual taxpayer in Sanford, and in December, 1899, purchased the Springvale Cotton Mills property and dwelling houses. His success may be attributed to hard work, strict attention to business and honorable dealings. He is a member of Riverside Lodge, No. 12, Knights of Pythias, and attends the Congregational church. He married, January II, 1870, Elizabeth F. A., born in Sanford, October 29, 1847, daughter of Hon. Increase S. and Miriam W. (Bodwell) Kimball. They have had children: I. Frank M., born De- cember 9, 1870, married, August 2, 1890, Elice A. Spinney. 2. Miriam K., born April 30, 1872, died June 28, 1872. 3. Walter K., see forward. 4. Herman B., born June 9, 1877, died December 3, 1883. 5. Faith Eliza- beth, born August 11, 1884.
(X) Walter Kimball, second son and third child of Samuel Benton and Elizabeth F. A. (Kimball) Emery, was born in Sanford, March 26, 1873. He was the recipient of an excellent education, passing through the com- mon schools of his native town, the seminary at Kent's Hill, the Nichols Latin School at Lewiston, and Gray's College in Portland. He entered the business of his father in 1892 and was taken into partnership in 1900, the firm name being S. B. Emery & Company. This was continued until recently, when a stock company was formed known as the S. B. Emery Company, of which Walter K. is a director. He is a member of Preble Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons ; White Rose Chap-
