Margaretta McArthur, born Thornton, died Newbury, Vt., 1853. He died Vershire Mar. 26, 1850. Was state senator several terms.
HENRY KEYES6 (Thomas5, Danforth4, Solomon3, Solomon2, Solomon1) born Vershire, Vt., Jan. 3, 1810; married, first, May 2, 1838, Sarah A. Pierce of Stanstead, P. Q., who died Dec. 8, 1853; no children; married, second, May 6, 1856, Emma F. Pierce, sister of first wife. She died Sept. 1916. He died Sept. 24, 1870, after brief illness. Came to Newbury in 1825; clerk in general store. Was partner with his brother Freeman in the mercantile business till 1854; firm name F. & H. Keyes. Was one of the original promoters of the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad, and one of its first Board of Directors. In 1854 succeeded Gov. Erastus Fairbanks as president of the road, and devoted himself to pushing the road through to Canada, to a connection with the Grand Trunk. The road was opened to Barton in 1857, to Newport in 1863, to Derby in 1867, and to Lennox- ville in 1870. The undertaking seemed at times a hopeless one and shares were as low as $5.00 each for several years, but Mr. Keyes lived to see the enterprise completed and stock selling at par. He was a large stockholder in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and became its president in 1869. He was also interested in several stage and steamboat lines and in the United States Hotel, Boston. Was a practical farmer having purchased the extensive Dow farm in Haverhill which he conducted; was president of the Vermont State Agricultural Society; town representative in 1855; state senator 1847-48; Democratic candidate for governor of Vermont in 1856, '57 and '58; delegate to several Democratic National Conventions. Was offered the presidency of one of the largest railroads in Massachusetts, but declined, as acceptance would necessitate living in Boston, and he wished to make Newbury his home. In politics was an uncompromising Democrat; was a member and for some years chairman of the First Congregational Society of Newbury. As a business man he had few equals. Five children:

HENRY WILDER KEYES? (Henry6, Thomas5, Danforth4, Solomon3, Solomon2, Solomon1) born Newbury, Vt., May 23, 1862; prepared for college in the public schools, and in Adams Academy, Quincy, Mass., under the direction of Dr. William Everett and grad- uated at Harvard in the class of 1887. Was prominent in athletics at Harvard being a member of the track and football squads and a member of the varsity crew four years, its captain in his senior year, and a winner. His popularity in the university was attested by his election as first marshall of his class for Commencement week, an honor regarded the highest in the gift of the student body. After a period of extended travel in Europe, with promising avenues to success in business and professional life open to him, he chose the life of a farmer, and taking the charge and giving himself to the per- sonal management of the Pine Grove farm of more than a thousand acres, which his father had made a model one after its purchase from the Dow family, has won a wide reputation as a successful general farmer, and breeder of blooded cattle, horses, sheep and swine. From the beginning he has taken an active interest in public affairs. In 1891, 1893 and again in 1915 he was one of the representatives from Haverhill in the New Hampshire House, and in 1903 represented District Number 2 in the state senate. He was a trustee of the New Hampshire College at Durham 1893-96. On the enact- ment of local option license law in 1903, he was appointed by Governor Bachelder license

commissioner, and was clerk and treasurer until the appointment of a new commission by the Democratic administration of 1913. When the excise commission was created by the legislature of 1915, Mr. Keyes was made its chairman, and held the office till 1916 when he resigned to become the Republican candidate for governor. By the friends and apponents of license alike, he is recognized as having rendered the state most val- uable service in this important office. He has served his town seventeen terms as one of its selectmen, having several times received an unanimous election, and of all his public service, Mr. Keyes himself takes most pride in this latter which abounds in nota- ble accomplishment in the payment of burdensome town debt; the replacement of two toll bridges over the Connecticut by two up-to-date steel and cement structures free to the traveling public, and in great improvements in the town's highways. Mr. Keyes has been a busy man. Aside from the management of his farm and his public service he has held various and important business connections. He has been vice-president and director of the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad Corporation, director of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co., president of the Woodsville National Bank, trustee of the Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank, vice-president of the Nashua River Paper Co. of Pepperell, Mass., president Sullivan County Railroad, director United Life and Accident Insurance Co., director Connecticut River Railroad. Upon becoming a candidate for governor, and in view of the possibility of railroad legislation in 1917, he resigned all official connection with the railroad of which he was the head. For several years his name had been frequently mentioned in connection with the Re- publican gubernational nomination, and he had been urged to become a candidate, but it was not till 1916 that he accepted the task. At the primaries in August he was nomi- nated receiving 12,724 votes to 9,683 for Rosecrans W. Pillsbury of Londonderry. At the election in November, although the Democratic candidates for electors carried the state, Mr. Keyes received 45,889 to 38,853 for John C. Hutchins of Stratford, and his majority over all other candidates was 5,556. The vote was a personal tribute to Mr. Keyes of which he may well be proud.
In his inaugural message Governor Keyes proposed to the General Court a program of constructive and progressive legislation, but the entrance of New Hampshire into the world-wide war gave the state problems which demanded attention to the exclusion of other matters. Military legislation, suggested by him, was adopted by both branches of the General Court without a word of opposition. It included the raising of one mil- lion dollars for war purposes, the establishment of a military Emergency Board, the registration of aliens, providing for new armories, dealing with the keeping and sale of explosives, dealing with state defense and labor laws during the war and authorizing cities and towns to raise money for war purposes. As chief executive he organized the draft machinery throughout the state and personally supervised the carrying into effect of the Selective Service Law during the recent world war. No state has had a better record for accomplishing what has been asked of it than New Hampshire. He is a Mason, a member of the Patrons of Husbandry, by religious affiliation a Protestant Episcopalian. On November 5, 1918, Mr. Keyes was elected to the United States Senate for a term of six years by a plurality rising 5,000; it is the first time for nearly a hundred years that a senator has been elected while holding the office of governor.
He married at Newbury, Vt., June 8, 1904, Frances P. Wheeler, daughter of John H. and Louise (Johnson) Wheeler, born July 21, 1885. Professor Wheeler, her father, graduated at Harvard at the age of nineteen with the highest honors of his class, was instructor in Latin and Greek at Harvard and Radcliffe, and professor in the University of Virginia until a few weeks before his death. Mrs. Wheeler was the great granddaugh- ter of Col. Thomas Johnson who as one of the grantees of Haverhill settled there in 1763, but soon afterward acquired land on the Newbury-Oxbow, and fairly divides the honor with Jacob Bayley of being the founder of that town. The residence of Governor Keyes
