D., 37,) where the road turns to Mill Brook. It was an exceptionally orderly house, as might be inferred from the fact that he is said to have been the first man in the town to carry on his farm without the use of rum. He was interested in military matters, and at- tained the rank of major, by which title he was known until his death. Children :

Enosburg, Vt., July 29, 1814]; (2) Dec. 29, 1814, Polly, sister of his first wife [d. about 1830] ; (3) Salome (Grant), widow of Rev. James Parker, who survived him. In 1796, when he was not yet 23 years of age, he with his brother Isaac and two fellow-townsmen, Charles Barrett and Nathan Wheeler, with the spirit which in later years set- tled the western areas of the country, went to northern Vermont, and bought 1000 acres of land in "Knight's Gore," now the eastern part of the town of Bakersfield, and settled there, keeping "bachelor's hall" while clearing and planting their land during three seasons, but returning to New Hamp- shire each winter and there teaching school. Communication with the towns upon the lake to the west was not difficult, and the young men had visions of a thriving town in the future centering in Knight's Gore. But as the forest was cleared, it was found that the surrounding mountains forbade advance to the east, and that the busy town would never lie as they planned. This experience, familiar in later years to so many who have deserted the eastern states and sought homes in the unsettled West, caused a complete abandonment of the Knight's Gore enterprise. But Ephraim Adams did not resume residence in New Ipswich; he went a few miles farther to the north and settled in Enosburg, whither he soon took his young wife, and where all his children were born. Children :

Sept. 16, 1845, Elizabeth Sylvia, dau. of Jabez Avery and Elizabeth (Ingalls) Douglass of Hanover [b. Jan. 1, 1821; d. July 12, 1905]. He fitted for college at New Ipswich Academy and Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., and was one of fifty students who left that institution upon being forbidden to form an anti-slavery society there. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1839, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1843. He was one of the noted "Iowa band" of eleven young men who in that year left Andover for service under the American Home Missionary Society in the region with unfamiliar name "divided between the Indian, the pioneer and the buffalo," where they believed that they were "needed and most needed." In the work of that band this son of New Ipswich is abundantly testified to have done his full part, not merely as a minister of the gospel, but in all the activities of the territory and the state which, built in from the foundation, have given that state its honored position. He was ordained at Denmark, was pastor at Mt. Pleasant, Davenport, Decorah, and Eldora, and was also for many years missionary superin- tendent, and for some time engaged in active labor for Iowa College, of which he was one of the founders and president of the trustees for many years. The ability of this service was formally recognized in 1882 by the degree of D. D. After 46 years of strenuous and successful endeavor he nominally retired from active labors and was granted 18 years of a rest, by no means slothful or useless to others, which normally

has place in such a life, and which his able and equally faith- ful companion in almost sixty years of service was spared to pass with him in their home at Waterloo, where they died. Children :

He has been a lecturer on Politi- cal Economy and Finance at Cornell University and the Uni- versity of Michigan for several years, and for a time at Johns Hopkins. He was elected professor at the Univer- sity of Michigan in 1887, and has made his home at Ann Arbor. He has also been statistician to the Interstate Com- merce Commission, and has had charge of other expert work for the government. He is author of several ap- proved works on living public questions.
