Perhaps the greatest industry of New Hampshire, after all, in the three centuries of her existence, has
81
CITY OF ROCHESTER
been the making of men. Some have emigrated and made their names famous in other states. Some have remained at home and exerted a great influence and done big things within our own borders. Rochester's record in this respect is a proud one and my only re- gret is that lack of time prevents an adequate presen- tation of the list of Rochester's distinguished sons.
And first I want to refer to one whose name is not a household word, of whom perhaps not a person here present ever heard but whose life was devoted, in the early days of Rochester, to doing good without thought of personal reward. This man was Dr. James Howe, one of the first practicing physicians in the town, who settled here in 1776. The practice which has been car- ried down through the years, to a large extent, of making the rich pay for the doctoring of the poor, this man exercised to such an extreme that in his later years he kept no accounts, paid nothing, charged noth- ing for his services, but when he needed anything for his family use, he applied to his rich neighbors. He was always a welcome guest in any home and followed in a literal way which would doubtless be impossible in this generation the teachings and examples of the Great Physician.
Rochester has given to the nation one great United States senator, Hon. John P. Hale, who was born in what was known as the Barker house on the site of the present Cocheco block. This house, removed to Charles street and completely remodeled, is now the home of Dr. Robert V. Sweet. Mr. Hale was one of the great anti-slavery senators in the trying times of the civil war and left a deep impress on the history of his country.

ANNUAL REPORT
Two Rochester men have represented this district in congress, Hon. Jacob H. Ela, who was likewise a devoted anti-slavery worker and who had a long and distinguished public career, and Hon. James Farring- ton, who was also a noted physician. Of governors we had none, strange to say, until the year 1912, when Hon. Samuel D. Felker had the honor of being the first Democrat chosen as the chief executive of the state for almost half a century. And having got the habit, at the next election a Rochester Republican, Hon. Rolland H. Spaulding, was elected to be Mr. Felker's successor. We have had at least three members of the executive council, Dr. James Farrington, nephew of the con- gressman, Hon. Sumner Wallace and Hon. Charles W. Varney, all in comparatively recent years. Two dis- tinguished attorneys have been given by our town to the bench, Charles William Woodman, for whom Charles street is said to have been named, and who was judge of the court of Common Pleas in 1854, and Leslie P. Snow, recently named as justice of the supreme court of the state.
One of the greatest philosophers, teachers, preachers and literary men that America ever pro- duced, claimed Rochester as his home, Prof. Thomas Cogswell Upham, who was on the faculty of Bowdoin college from 1824 to 1867. Poems, articles of travel, philosophical treatises and religious writings were his splendid contribution to our literature.
In the musical history of our country the name of E. Freeman Whitehouse, a son of N. V. Whitehouse and brother of Rochester's first mayor, has a con- spicuous place. He not only had a beautiful tenor voice but the temperament and personality which are God-
83
CITY OF ROCHESTER
given qualities indispensable in the real artists in any line. He would play upon the feelings of his audience, having them in tears one minute and in laughter the next, and it is said that, alone with his guitar, he could draw a thousand dollar house in a big city, at a period when a dollar was worth many times what it is today. Those who heard him never forgot the wonder- ful treat.
Other distinguished natives of Rochester include the Lothrops, founders of the big publishing house of D. Lothrop and Co., Isaac and Seth Adams, inventors and manufacturers of the famous printing press, and Charles Francis Hall, who made scientific history as one of the greatest of the Arctic explorers.
Many other names in Rochester's history there are whose possessors have attained distinction more or less widespread and which are closely identified wiih the town's beginnings and development. Among these, are the following: Dame, March, Dennett Place, Barker, Tebbetts, Edgerly, Varney, Orr, Greenfield, Torr, Lougee, Chase, Warren, Meader, Hayes, Henderson, Page, Hussey, Roberts, Davis, Jellerson, Hodgdon, Brown, not to mention the scores of familiar names of today of those who have come in and made their homes here, establishing large indus- tries, many of them, and to whose energy and public spirit is due in so large a measure the enviable reputa- tion which our city enjoys today as a live and prosper- ous business center and a splendid place of residence.
This is a historical sketch. Despite the fact that I have consumed so much more time than I intended in the beginning, I have but touched the fruitful theme. To look back thus over the years is extremely inter-

esting and pleasant. The mists of time lend romance to the scenes and incidents which doubtless seemed prosaic to those who dwelt in their midst. But such reminisceces, fascinating though they be, can only be of real use as they lead us to take up our present-day task with new courage. After all, the man of value to his community and mankind in general is he who looks forward and not back. Those heroic souls who ventured out into the wilderness to found this fine community gave of their best for future generations, and we are enjoying now the fruits of their labors. Think, for example, of the vision and thoughtfulness of those who planted the magnificent elm trees which have so long been the glory of our streets. Shall we, of this advanced age, do less than they? Shall we be content to destroy what they builded, or even to enjoy it, without trying to do something, as did they, for those who are to come after us ?
The physical hardships of two centuries ago we are no longer called upon to endure. But this age has its problems, no less than did theirs. The world today is in a chaotic and critical condition. It needs men of strength, men of devotion, men of ideals as it never needed them before. Let us, who have inherited so much from our sturdy ancestors, resolve to emulate them in meeting squarely and bravely these problems, not living for present-day pleasure merely but with the desire and intention of doing our full part to make this city, this state, this nation and this world a better place for the generations to come than they have ever been before. So shall we find the only real satisfaction in this life and finally meet these heroes of the past with joy and not with shame.
