was a Thirty-second degree Ma- son, being

a member of Trinity Command- ery, Knight Templars, Edward Raymond Consistory of Nashua, and the Mystic Shrine of Boston. In politics, he was a Democrat, but never held other than minor local offices. He was too outspoken and uncompromisingly honest to be a successful poli- tician.

In 1872 the deceased was united in marriage with Miss Martha Tallant, the ceremony occurring at Pembroke in 1872. The wife and their only child, a daughter, died a number of years ago. The sur- vivors are the father and a sister, already mentioned ; the two brothers noted as partners in the Head & Dowst Company, as well as a third brother, George. of Allenstown; and the elder sister, Mrs. A. L. Ricker, of Short Falls.

Frank Dowst passed away on the 27th of No- vember, 1905, his death following a stroke of para- lysis, which was the result of an accident sustained by him several months before. He was a powerful and healthy man both physically and mentally, and therefore possessed in a marked degree the spirit of cheerfulness and hopefulness. He was not only complete master of his calling, but, as stated by one of his intimates, "he was incapable of trickery, de- ceit. sharp practice or meanness of any kind, and he abominated all who tried to succeed by crookedness. He was the most modest and democratic of men. He never sought an office. He never desired promi- nence outside of his business. He was generous 10 a fault. Ile was public-spirited, and he was the most loyal and profuse of friends and the most delightful of associates. He did a great deal to make Manchester what she is, and for what he did for those who were fortunate enough to be inti-

Dartmouth College, and graduated from that insti- tution in 1848. During his senior year in college he studied law with the Hon. Daniel Blaisdell, of Hanover. New Hampshire, and after graduating con- tinued his law studies in the office of Jonathan Kitt- redge, of Canaan, New Hampshire, afterward chief justice of the court of common pleas of the state. In connection with his law studies in Canaan he taught school five terms, and after removing to Newport in January, 1851, he completed his course of law reading with Metcalf & Corbin, and in July of the same year was admitted to practice.

Having come to the bar, Mr. Barton at once entered actively into professional life and soon came to be recognized among the foremost lawyers of Sullivan county. He was law partner with Hon. Ralph Metcalf at the time of his election as gov- ernor of New Hampshire, in 1855; and like most of the lawyers of his day he took an earnest interest in political affairs, and from 1855 to 1858 was register of deeds of Sullivan county.

Mr. Barton was a member of the constitutional convention of 1876, and in the same year was a presidential elector on the Republican national ticket. He declined the office of bank commis- sioner of the state, to which he was appointed by Governor Harriman. In 1877 he was a member of the commission appointed to revise and codify the laws of the state, and performed the duties of that position. Twice he sought the Republican nomina- tion for a seat in the national house of representa- tives, but each time was defeated in the conven- tion. 'Throughout his entire professional career he was interested in farming pursuits, and devoted much of his leisure to stock raising, fruit growing and farming generally. Much of his time during the later years of his life was spent on one or other of his farms. In 1839 Mr. Barton married Mary A. Pike, of Newport, who died in 1840, leaving an in- fant son. He married (second). August 25, 1852, Elizabeth F. Jewett, of Nashua, New Hampshire.

(VII) Ira McL. Barton, son of Levi W. and Mary A. (Pike) Barton, was born in Newport. New Hampshire, March II, 1840, and died in that town January 19, 1876, after an active and honorable but all too brief career as a brave soldier and brilliant lawyer. He was given a good early education, and at the age of seventeen years began teaching and taught with excellent success in the towns of New- port, Claremont and Alstead, New Hampshire. He fitted for college at Kimball Union Academy, and in 1858 entered Dartmouth College for the class of 1862. but left before graduation and took up the study of law in his father's office. In 1863 he was admitted to practice.
