on his return from Boston, and the opportunity for acquaintance was mutually improved. It is not known that Mr. Boyden ever gave expression in words of his opinion as to the importance of this accidental meeting; but we doubt not he himself together with the many friends of Mrs. Boyden regard it as the most fortunate circumstance of his life. At the age of fourteen, he entered the store of his brother Abner as clerk, where he remained about six years; and to the experience and training which he received during this time he is prob- ably very largely indebted for the formation and strength- ening of correct business-habits, which have given him such marked success. At the age of eighteen, he had so gained the respect and confidence of the citizens of the town that he was recommended for postmaster ; to which office he was soon after appointed. He dis- charged the duties of this position nearly three years, when he resigned; and, with the consent and approval of his brother, he went to Boston, and in company with Josiah L. Crosby engaged in the retail dry- goods business, occupying a store at No. 73 Court St. This business was successfully carried on for about two years and a half, when, on account of the death of his brother Abner, he sold out his business in Boston, and returned to Marl. After settling his brother's estate, Mr. Boyden, in company with his brother William, took the stock of goods and store of his deceased brother, and commenced trade under the firm-name of W. & E. Boyden. The store then occupied was the one since used by David Wilkinson for a harness-shop. In 1840, Mr. Boyden and his brother built and moved into the store now occupied by Woodward & Nason. In 1845, he was again appointed postmaster, and held the office till 1852, when he resigned, and about the same time the firm sold their store to G. D. Richardson & Co. In 1854, Mr. Boyden was appointed Route Mail Agent between Boston and Burlington. This office he resigned in 1860, since which time he has lived comparatively retired from active labor. He has held the office of Justice of the Peace for nearly twenty-five years, and has been given many positions of responsibility and trust in the affairs of the town. In 1865 and 1866, he received the highest vote of his party for State Senator. He has always taken a deep interest in political matters, and by extensive reading has kept thoroughly conversant with the politics of the country, though in no sense has he been an office-seeker, and his convictions of duty have not been influenced by any considerations of per- sonal distinction. He is conservative in his ideas, which,

united with keen foresight and good judgment, make his advice and counsel of peculiar value. In August, 1878, Mr. and Mrs. Boyden visited Europe, spending a short time in England and France, and the winter in Italy. In May following, they returned to their home in Marl., where they met a cordial reception from their many friends and neighbors. Soon after their return, Mr. Boyden at the earnest solicitation of many citizens gave an account of their journey, in an able and interesting address at the Town Hall.

JAMES BREWER came from East Sudbury, now Way- land, Mass., to that part of Marl. now included in Troy, in 1768 or 1769. He possessed naturally a strong mind, which was considerably improved by education; and in his intercourse with his fellow-men he was upright, affa- ble, and readily secured their confidence and esteem; consequently, he was often promoted to stations of honor and responsibility. He was an efficient officer in the Revolutionary army, and was with his company at Bunker Hill and subsequently at Ticonderoga. His wife was Mary Hoar.
