respected as a townsman. His home was large and pleasantly situated, and everything about his farm kept in good order.

CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN AND CATHERINE:
I. CAPT. CHARLES W., 6 b. July 18, 1837, in Eaton, N. H., and was brought up on the old Boothby homestead on the Portland road in Saco. He was educated in the public schools, and taught in various sections of the state. At the outbreak of the Civil war, he entered the Union army as a private in Company C, 12th Maine Vols., and followed the fortunes of the regiment to the capture of New Orleans. During Gen. Butler's regime in New Orleans, he was agent of transportation between the city and the forts on Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf. General Banks assuming command of the department of the Gulf, Mr. Boothby was assigned to duty as recruiting officer, to assist in raising three regiments of white troops in the department. He enlisted two full companies and was commissioned captain in the Ist New Orleans Vols. The service of the regiment was chiefly within the state of Louisiana and he was mustered out June 1, 1866, after a continuous service of four years and seven months. Capt. Boothby remained in New Orleans after the close of the war, and served as an officer of the Federal government in various important stations, including the positions of assessor of U. S. revenue, special deputy surveyor of the port, and chief of the sugar bounty bureau under the bounty act. He was identified with the edu- cational interests of New Orleans as director and superintendent of city public schools. His administration in this capacity was eminently successful. A large educational bequest of John McDonogh for years had been lying unused. He caused the accrued interest of the bequest to be applied to the erection of six elegant school buildings, with seat- ing capacity for 3,500 pupils. Capt. Boothby married Celia O'Neil, principal of one of the city public schools, and had issue, seven chil- dren, viz: Willis N., May C., Benjamin C., Florence E., Arthur H., Ernest G., and Lutie. In politics Capt. Boothby has always been a staunch Republican.

He resides on the old Boothby homestead, on the Saco and Portland road, so long owned by his ancestors; was educated in the common schools and Saco high school. Nearly every winter for a quarter of a century, he taught in the schools of Saco and the adjoining towns. During the Civil war, 1864 and 1865, he was with the army in the department of the Gulf, employed in the quartermaster's department; was a member of the Saco city gov- ernment in 1871, and president of the common council in 1872; served on board of assessors in 1881-82-83 ; chairman of board in 1890-91 and 1893. In 1892 was elected to represent Saco in the state legisla- ture; always a Republican, taking an active part in political affairs and an earnest advocate of total abstinence and prohibition. Mr. Boothby is a man of good executive ability, full of push, and an easy public speaker.

BOOTHIBY FAMILY.
CHILDREN OF NATHANIEL, OF ATHENS :
I. GEORGE E.,6 b. May 1, 1837 ; d. Mar. 8, 1858, unmarried, while attend- ing medical college at Brunswick, Me.
2. DR. ALONZO, 6 b. Mar. 5, 1840, at Athens, Me .; m. Maria Stodard, in 1863, and has one son, of whom hereafter. He was educated in the common school, Athens Academy, and at Kent's Hill. At the age of nineteen, commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Kinsman, of Athens; after a two years' course at Brunswick, he went to New York, in 1861, and took a course with Professor Conant. During the Civil war, he gradu- ated from the Georgetown Medical College and received a diploma. He served under the eminent surgeon, Dr. Bliss, in the army in 1862; after the battle of Gettysburg he performed valuable service among the wounded for about four weeks; was soon after made first assistant surgeon of the 2d United States regiment of colored troops. He saw service at Ship Island and Key West. Returning to the latter place, after a visit to the North on a furlough, he contracted the yellow fever, resigned, and came to his home in Maine, where he was taken down with the dread disease, which was the beginning of a ten years' sickness. He located at Wilton, and after two years of professional practice went to Boston. Having received much relief from remedies prescribed by a homeopathic physician, he adopted that system and entered immedi- ately upon its study with Dr. Russell. He was successful and soon had an extensive practice. In 1883 he went to Europe and spent a year in the best hospitals as a student of surgery. His knowledge of the Ger- man language gave him a great advantage over many others who went abroad for the same purpose. He spent eight months in Berlin, and several months in Vienna and London, where he visited the hospitals. Returning to Boston he gradually relinquished the practice of medicine and devoted himself to the more congenial science of surgery. A second trip to Europe, in 1887, was turned to good account.
When his skill as a surgeon became more widely known he established a private hospital on Worcester square in Boston-the largest and best private surgical hospital in the city-for the care and treatment of his patients. In this institution thirty beds are maintained, and a school for training nurses. He has quite an extensive practice outside.
Doctor Boothby has been visiting physician to the Homeopathic Dis- pensary; demonstrator of anatomy at the Boston University School of Medicine: four years lecturer of anatomy, and three years professor of surgical anatomy. For three years he was lecturer on surgery and asso- ciate professor of clinical surgery, besides filling other important pro- fessional positions. He is president of the Massachusetts Medical Society and past president of the Boston Homeopathic Medical Society. He is one of the surgeons of the Massachusetts Homeopathical Hospi- tal, and in that institution performed his first great operation as early as 1883, which was the first successful removal of the kidney in New England. His professional duties are so exacting that he finds little time for society. He is a diligent student of medical, surgical, and general literature.
In early life he was much interested in Odd Fellowship and Masonry; has been Past Grand of Franklin Lodge and Past Chief Patriarch of

Boston Encampment of Odd Fellows, also member of Mt. Lebanon Lodge of Free Masons.
Doctor Boothby has a fine home on Beacon street, and his domestic life is remarkably pleasant.
By good authorities, both in and out of his school, he is regarded as one of the most competent surgeons in New England, and patients are sent to his hospital for treatment by physicians in all sections of our land. Son: Walter M.

CHILDREN OF LEVI T., OF WATERVILLE:
I. COL. FREDERICK E., 6 b. Dec. 3, 18.15, in Norway, Me. ; he m. Oct. 25, 1871, Adelaide E., dau. of Charles H. and Vesta B. Smith, of Water- ville. No issue. He was educated in the common school, Normal Institute of Paris, and at the high school and Classical Institute of Waterville, Me. While young he was called to assist his father as station agent of the M. C. R. R., at Waterville, and developed a taste and fitness for railroad business. From this initiatory experience he was advanced, by various stages, being acting paymaster from 1871 to 1874, to the office of general passenger and ticket agent, a position he has held for many years. In consequence of the consolidation of the great Maine C'entral system, his position has become one of great responsibility. He seems to have possessed just the natural qualifications adapted to his important duties, and his faithful attention to all the details involved in his business, and his social qualities have made him deservedly popular with the Maine Central organization and with the general public. He was on the staff of Governors Bodwell, Marble, and Burleigh. See portrait.

CHILDREN OF CHARLES, OF LIVERMORE;
I. FRANK H.,6 b. April 3, 1852; m. May 30, 1878, to Carrie M., dau. of John V. and Addie (Silver) Young; lives in Livermore.
3. CHARLES H.,6 b. May 10, 1854, in Dixfield, Me. He attended the town schools until ten years of age, summer and winter, and from that time until fifteen went to school winters and worked on the farm the remain- der of the time. He subsequently worked at home summers and taught or attended school the residue of each year, paying his own expenses ; was a student at Wilton Academy and Waterville Classical Institute, graduating from the latter in 1876. He taught the high school at Can- ton, Me., 1877 and 1878, and at the same time read law with Hon. John P. Swasey. In 1878-9 he taught the high school at Livermore Falls;

the following summer studied law with Hon. Charles W. Larrabee, of Bath. On Sept. 12, 1879, he was admitted to the bar at Paris, Oxford Co., Me. He then went to the Boston Law School, where he graduated in the class of 1880. He opened an office at Livermore Falls, and con- tinued the practice of his profession there until the fall of 1884, mean- time teaching several terms of high school in the town. He was a member of the school committee in Livermore for 1878-9, after which he removed to East Livermore. Beginning to teach at the age of sixteen, he successfully taught some thirty terms. Good order was always ob- servable among his scholars, and he worked hard to advance them in their studies; they in turn would do anything he asked of them. Com- mittees visiting his schools, invariably gave an excellent report. He never applied for but two positions as a teacher, but was sought after by the agents or supervisors. Having the faculty of securing the good- will of his pupils, he seldom found it necessary to inflict corporeal pun- ishment. His physical ability may have had a restraining influence over some. Mr. Boothby removed to Portland in the fall of 1884, and took the management and secretaryship of an insurance company, in which position he remained until May, 1892, when he resumed the practice of law at Portland, where he continued until January, 1894, at which time he went to Boston, where he is now in successful practice, numbering among his clientage some influential citizens. Squire Boothby has always been successful in acquiring money, but it has been gener- ously used for his family, friends, and the needy. He has always provided everything for his home that would conduce to its comfort. Possessing strong literary proclivities, he has written considerable, and some of his poetic productions have found their way into print. As a writer, he shows marked ability, and has been highly complimented as such by some who are good judges. His high ideals and modesty, however, will seldom allow his composition to escape the waste basket. Politically he has been an uncompromising Republican, and when in Portland served as vice-president and acting president of the Lincoln Republican Club. He has been several times offered the nomination for official position, but has declined to have his name thus used. As a public speaker, he has received flattering compliments, but in conse- quence of a natural timidity, he shrinks from such public display, and will never "come to the front" when he can avoid it. He is a Mason in good standing in Oriental Star Lodge (of which master two years), Androscoggin R. A. Chapter, both of Livermore Falls, Portland Coun- cil and St. Albans Commandery, both of Portland. He is also an Odd Fellow and a member, in good standing, of Livermore Falls Lodge. In personal appearance, Squire Boothby is commanding; his height is six feet, two; his form erect and well proportioned; his weight over one hundred and ninety pounds. He is a man of noble spirit, full of kind- ness and good cheer, whose presence is an enjoyable social benediction to his friends and companions in the various relations of life.

In the spring of 1861, he formed a co-partnership with Mark H. Dunnell, afterward a member of Congress, and engaged in the practice of law in Portland with flattering prospects of success. This business relation was not long continued, for both members of the firm responded to the call for men to defend the flag. Stephen Boothby entered the First Maine Cavalry as first lieutenant of Company F, and was promoted to a cap- taincy after entering the field, the next year. He was on duty with his company until appointed major in March or April, 1863, with the ex- ception of a few months in the autumn of 1862, while aide-de-camp to the military governor of Frederick, Md., during the campaign in that state. In July, 1864, he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, which rank he held until his death. While skirmishing at Shepardstown, he was badly wounded in the back, but remained some time in the saddle.
