For twelve years Mr. L. was Secretary of the New Hampshire Bible Society ; nine years Scribe of Deerfield Association ; seven years Secretary of Stafford Conference, six years its Moderator ; three years each Secretary of Strafford Bible, Home Missionary, and Education Societies ; and nine years Trustee of New Hampshire Missionary Society, and Trustee of Gilmanton Academy and The- ological Seminary.

VI., Cyrus, b. 1802, prepared for College at Phillips Acad- emy, Andover, Mass .; completed his course at Dartmouth College, 1827; became Principal of St. Johnsbury Academy. As an illustration of his studious habits in childhood, it is said of him that his Sabbath School teacher having heard him repeat verses from the Bible for one whole hour, asked him " How much more have you committed?" he replied, "I have repeated nearly half." The reward of merit was given him without hearing the re- mainder of the lesson. After spending several years at St. Johnsbury and at other places in teaching, he was invited by Mr. James Wilson (noticed in " Parker's History of Londonderry " as the inventor of Wilson's globes,) to assist him in revising and correcting the plates for the revised edition of his globes at Albany, N. Y. He continued with Mr. W. until his death, and then with a son of Mr. Wilson until his death, upon which he m. his widow, Mrs. Rebecca Wilson, and became to his children all that could be asked or expected of a devoted father. In 1852, he rem. to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he continued the globe business, engaging also in teaching, as he had done at Albany. He invented a "self-adjusting switch" for rail- roads, also a car ventilator fitted to exclude the dust. Died of diphtheria, in Brooklyn, aged sixty years. His standing as a scientific and literary man places his name high among the sons of Acworth. His only child, Sarah, d. unm. VII., Henry, m. first Mary A. Colby, m. second Louisa M.
