The record of the Armstrong family would be incomplete if it omitted a notice of George-W. Armstrong. An old Scotch prov- erb was, that "a Scotchman, Highland or Lowland, makes his own mark in the world without fear or favor." Mr. Armstrong, with that great energy which springs full grown from the native heather, and from the lochs and mountains of "Old Scotia." the home of his ancestors, has been the arbiter of his own success in life, and which has placed him in the front rank of enterprising young men.
He commenced his business career in 1852, as a newsboy on the Boston and Worcester Railroad, where he remained nine years. For eighteen months he was employed in various positions, as brakeman, as baggage-master, as sleeping-car conductor, and as conductor on the regular trains. He then left the employ of the company and became manager of the news business on that road. Three years later he became half-owner of the restaurant and news-room in the Boston & Albany station in Boston, and in 1871 became sole proprietor, which business he still retains. In 1865 he bought King's baggage express, and immediately organized "Armstrong's Transfer," which has attained such magnitude and importance. He added passenger carriages, and perfected a system for the accommodation of railroad travellers which is un- surpassed. It is his pride that no just claim against the Transfer for delay or loss of property was ever the subject of litigation. With a courtesy to all parties rarely exceeded, he has won the friendship and kindness of the travelling public, which at all times is reticent in giving its approbation and confidence.
In 1882 he organized the Armstrong Transfer Company, be- coming its president, E. A. Taft, general manager, and which does a large business in Boston. This company is destined to attain the leading position among those facilities which will make travelling in the United States a perfect system of accommoda- tion, thus rendering journeying not a burden, but a decided

pleasure. Perhaps the highest tribute to the subject of this sketch is the fact that he has won the confidence of the larger and wealthier railroad corporations in New England.
In 1869 he purchased the news business on the Fitchburg Rail- road, and in 1877 extended it over the entire Hoosac Tunnel line. In 1875 he extended his restaurant and news business over the Eastern Railroad, being owner of all dining-rooms at Boston, Lynn, Salem, Portsmouth, Wolfborough Junction, N. HI., and Portland, Me., and recently he assumed control of the restaurant at Springfield, Mass., on the Boston & Albany Railroad. His news- boys are upon every train, and all trashy or impure literature is rigorously excluded from their sales. His life has been full of business activities, and Dame Fortune has smiled kindly upon him. He has always held in the highest esteem the people and town of Windham, the friends and the early home of his father. Some of our enterprises and public institutions have profited by his unostentatious gifts. Mr. Armstrong is a man of strong charac- ter, strictly upright in his business relations, urbane in his man- ners, kind and sympathetic in his nature, has a wide circle of acquaintances, and a strong corps of personal friends. He lives on a fine estate in Brookline, Mass., in the suburbs of Boston, where none are more welcome than his friends from Windham.

BAILEY FAMILY.
1. Samuel Bailey7, of Windham, seventh generation from emi- grant ancestor, was b. in Haverhill, Mass., July 11. 1803; son of Nathan6 and Jemima (Emerson) Bailey, b. in Andover, 1772; son of Nathan5, of Bradford, b. 1740; Nathan4, of Bradford, b. 1708 ; Richard8, of Bradford, b. 1675; Joseph2, of Rowley, b. about 1640, who was a son of Richard Bailey1, who, with his brother James1, came to America from England in 1638 and set- tled in Rowley, Mass.
Samuel Bailey came to Windham in 1842, and lived in different houses for eleven years. In 1853 he bought his small farm of Loring, of Boston, Mass. The house once stood on an old cellar which is near the highway south of the house of Mrs. Margaret Richardson. It was purchased by Jesse Emerson, and many years ago cut down and moved to this place. In the early settlement this was known as the Ritchie farm. Samuel Bailey is a farmer and wall-builder. From his family went forth more brave soldiers for the overthrow of the rebellion than from any other family in town. Three of them served in Massachusetts regiments. Four sons were in the service, and three of them till soldiers' graves. The poet Homer says :-
" The gallant man. though slain in fight he be. Yet leaves his country safe, his nation free ; Entails a debt on all the grateful State : His own brave friends shall glory in his fate." 1

(the first to leave the State); was with the regiment at Baltimore when it was assaulted by the rebels, and several of its members killed. This was the occasion for the pathetic dispatch of Governor Andrew to the mayor of Baltimore in reference to the lamented dead,- " Care for them tenderly," - which showed his own nobility and tenderness of soul, and touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of his countrymen. He served three months; enlisted Sept. 13, 1861, for three years in the First Mass. Cav., Co. D, First Battalion ; par- ticipated in all the battles of the regiment, most of the time with the Army of the Potomac. In the sharp cavalry battle of Aldee his horse was killed under him, and he was taken prisoner and confined thirty-three days at Libby, then was discharged. He enlisted a third time as a veteran in the same regiment, served till the close of the war, and was discharged about August, 1865. He was a man of fine physique and a brave soldier, but, like thon- sands of others, he contracted a disease while in the service from which he never recovered, and d. at the Soldiers' Home, Angusta,
