Hervey2 m. in Lowell, Mass., March 21, 1829, Sarah L. Pierce, b. in Merrimac, N. H., March 26, 1811. She was the dau. of Joshua Pierce, of Hudson, N. H. Her mother, Dolly (Hutchins) Pierce, . was the dau. of Colonel Hutchins, of Concord, N. H., of Revolu- tionary fame.


The following is from "Gaskell's Compendium of Penmanship and Etiquette": "Hervey Bugbee, the most celebrated New Eng- land penman, was fully as famous in his section as Spencer was in Ohio." Mr. Bugbee taught throughout New Hampshire, and some in Vermont. His most successful classes- those that gave him the most reputation - were at Hanover, N. H., the seat of Dartmouth college, as all know, one of the best and oldest of our colleges, ranking with Yale and Harvard. Here among the students he was a great favorite, and, although he left no published works, we can judge something of his skill by the opinions of those who were under his tuition. Among these are some of the former governors of New Hampshire and other states, members of state and national legislatures, lawyers, editors, and clergymen, who have become widely known. One of the Dartmouth boys in "Bugbee's time,"

the editor of the New Hampshire Daily Mirror and American, and Mirror and Farmer, speaks of Bugbee as follows: "Thirty-five years ago Hervey Bugbee, of Nashua, N. H., was the most elegant penman in this country, and though he lacked system somewhat, letters, birds, beasts, and creeping things flowed from his pen as easily as water runs down hill. It is a matter of regret that a penman so highly skilled should have left behind him no scraps of his handiwork available to us." Mr. Bugbee came to HI. in the autumn of 1848, res. place marked " Mrs. Bugbee " on village plan, where he d., Feb. 9, 1866. His wife d. in II., April 10, 1888.

Within a few months his uncle died, and he was left to battle with the temptations of that distant city, three thousand miles from the New Hampshire hills, alone; "yet the covenant- keeping God watched over him, and guided his feet. The prayers of his parents availed, and he was kept from falling." He remained in Buenos Ayres until 1863, making one short visit home during that time. On his return he established himself in business in New York city, making his home in Stamford, Conn., where he united with the Congregational church, and was immediately chosen one of the deacons of the church, and served some three years as super- intendent of the Sunday school.
