She was granddaughter of David Mosier, of Fisher Island and Gor- ham, and great-granddaughter of James, the grandson of Hugh Mosier. James came from Scotland in 1730 and settled in New London, . Connecticut, and Newport, Rhode Island. Jo- seph and Susan had twelve children : I. Betsy, born 1779, married Elihu Gunnison. 2.

(V) Nathan (or Nathaniel), sixth son of Joseph (2) and Susan (Mosier) Rounds, was born February 18, 1799, in Buxton, and settled in Waterford, Maine, in 1816, residing in the lower village, where he died August 5, 1868. He was a skilled blacksmith, held the rank of captain in the local militia, was prominent in church affairs and filled numerous town offices. He married, in 1822, Betsey Brown, daughter of William and Betsey (Wheeler) Brown, probably of Stow, Massachusetts. The latter was born in 1765, and saw the soldiers march to and from Bunker Hill. William Brown was a son of Jabez Brown, a lieutenant in the French and Indian war and an adjutant in the revolutionary war. He served the town of Waterford in Maine, and his sons settled there about 1783. A grandson of Jabez Brown, Charles E., is widely known in literature as Artemus Ward. Betsey (Brown) Rounds was born in 1803 in Waterford and died in 1882 in Farmington. Their children were: I. Jane, born 1822, married Calvin M. Follett. 2. Edwin, 1827, married Maria Jordan. 3.

(VI) Charles Collins, third son of Nathan, or Nathaniel, and Betsey (Brown) Rounds, was born August 15, 1831, in South Water- ford, and passed his early boyhood in that town. He attended a district school and pre- pared for college at a Maine academy. When a young man he learned the printer's trade in Portland. An incident of this experience shows his habit of mind. Smyth's Algebra was being printed in the establishment where he was setting type and it was his custom to carry home at night the proof sheets and work out the problems for himself. In this way he detected several errors in the book which were corrected by the author at his suggestion. He subsequently entered Dartmouth College and was graduated from its scientific department in 1857. From that time until his death his life was devoted to educational work. For two years he was principal of the South Paris, Maine, Academy, and thence went to Cleve- land, Ohio, where he was principal of a public school for six years. During the summer of 1864, while a resident of Cleveland, he en- gaged actively in the work of the Christian
1667
STATE OF MAINE.
Commission among the Union soldiers in Vir- ginia. Returning to Maine, he became princi- pal of the Edward Little Institute in Auburn, and in 1868 was made principal of the State Normal School at Farmington, where he re- mained until 1883. He resigned this position to accept the principalship of the State Nor- mal School at Plymouth, New Hampshire. After thirteen years in this work he resigned to spend some time abroad, and on returning devoted himself to lecturing and institute work. Dr. Rounds held the degrees of B. S. and M. S. from Dartmouth, and his scholar- ship and eminent services in educational work in Maine brought to him the honorary de- grees of A. M. from Bowdoin and Colby and of Ph. D. from Bates College. His work in the Farmington State Normal School con- tributed much to the educational development of the state. He came to the school when it was just in the experimental stage and while the opposition of conservatism and prejudice was still strong. He undertook the work with a mind clear and critical, with the training of one of the best scientific schools of New Eng- land, with great energy of mind and body, with intense love for his profession, and with a profound knowledge of the needs of the common schools, gained by eleven years' ex- perience as a teacher in this and other states. The school was without apparatus, or a library that deserved the name, and the buildings were entirely inadequate. He established in 1869 one of the first primary training schools in the country, improved the buildings, secured a library and equipment, and for fifteen years gave the best there was in him to the upbuild- ing of the school and the creation of right professional standards in the state. In the Normal School at Plymouth, New Hampshire, he did equally important and lasting work. He was a student in the old meaning of that term, and a scholar in the best sense of the word. He loved nature, and was at home in literature, appreciated art, and was one of the closest observers of life as seen in New Eng- land, the Great West, the New South and modern Europe. His knowledge of social, in- dustrial, political and educational conditions made him an exceptionally intelligent and safe investigator and adviser, and enabled him to contribute much toward the solution of the most difficult educational problems. In all his work the truth interested him more than the vindication of pet theories. What was, what is, what should be, were questions that he strove to answer in a way that would be useful to the individual and to the state. He
occupied many positions indicating the esteem in which he was held by the profession in this country. He was president of the Maine Teachers' Association, a life member of the National Educational Association; was twice president of the New England Normal Asso- ciation ; twice president of the normal depart- ment of the National Educational Association ; was state commissioner from New Hampshire to the Paris Exposition of 1889; was presi- dent of the National Council of Education in 1895, being a charter member of that council and a member of the committee of twelve on rural schools. His counsel was sought in questions involving the most difficult educa- tional problems during a period of thirty years. It has been said of him by the pro- fession "he was one of the noblest and most useful school men that Maine has trained and given to the world." He died at his home in Farmington, November 8, 1901. He was a Congregationalist in religion and in political matters was a Republican. He married, March 6, 1858, at South Paris, Maine, Kate Nixon, daughter of Thomas Nixon and Mar- tha Hanson (Clarke) Stowell, of that village. She was born December 12, 1836, and sur- vives her husband and now resides in New York City with two of her children. On the maternal side she is a granddaughter of Peter Hanson and Rhoda (Richards) Clarke, of Durham, New Hampshire, and great-grand- daughter of Samuel Clarke, whose wife was also a Hanson. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Rounds are: I. Agnes Iola, born August 15, 1860, married, in 1888, Edwin Scott Mat- thews; resides in New York, and has a son Harold Nixon, born April 17, 1891. 2. Ar- thur Charles, mentioned below. 3. Ralph Sto- well, mentioned below. 4. Katherine Eliza- beth, May 22, 1868.
(VII) Arthur Charles, elder son of Charles Collins and Kate N. (Stowell) Rounds, was born December 28, 1862, in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended the Hallowell Classical Academy, Maine; the Maine Normal School at Farm- ington; Amherst College and Harvard Law School. He was graduated from Amherst in 1887, completed his law course in 1890, and at once began the practice of his profession in New York City. For a time he was also a professor in the New York University Law School. He is now in active practice as a member of the firm of Rounds & Schurman, at 96 Broadway, New York City. He is a mem- ber of the Chi Psi and Phi Delta Phi fra- ternities of the university, and other clubs. In politics he is a Republican.
