BLODGETT
The Blodgett family in
America is of English origin, and in this country holds a well-deserved rank for its patriotic services, members of the family having distinguished themselves in the French and Indian wars, at the siege and capture of Louisburg, in the in- vasion of Canada, and in the revolutionary war. There were one hundred Blodgetts in the revolutionary war, eighty-eight from Mass- achusetts and twelve from New Hampshire. In the eighth generation is numbered a United States senator, a judge of the United States district court, a chief justice of the supreme court of one New England state, an eminent judge of the superior court of another, a pub- licist and statistician of national reputation, a member of the New York chamber of com- merce, and in the ninth generation a judge of the supreme court of a third New England state. John Taggart Blodgett is a judge in Rhode Island and a cousin of the father of Harry Thornton Blodgett.
(I) Thomas Blodgett, founder of the family in America, emigrated to New England with his wife and two eldest children, leaving Lon- don in the ship "Increase," April 18, 1635. He was then thirty years of age and his wife thirty-seven. They arrived in Boston and set- tled in Newtown, now Cambridge, Massachu- setts, where he died in 1642, and by his will probated in 1643 left to each of his three chil- dren, £15. His widow Susan married (sec- ond), February 15, 1644, James Thompson, of Woburn, Massachusetts. Children : I. Dan- iel, referred to below. 2. Samuel, born in Eng- land, 1633; died in Woburn, Massachusetts, May 21, 1720; married, December 13, 1655, Ruth, daughter of Stephen Eggleton. 3.

William Johnson, October 9, 1846; died Octo- ber 26, 1868.
(VIII) The Hon. Rufus, son of Jeremiah (2) and Amanda (Johnson) Blodgett, was born in Dorchester, New Hampshire, Octo- ber 9, 1834, and is now living in Long Branch, New Jersey. After receiving his early educa- tion in the public schools, he graduated from the Wentworth Academy, and then while quite young began learning the trade of a locomotive builder at the Amoskeag Locomotive Works, of Manchester, New Hampshire. He followed this trade for several years in New Hampshire, and afterwards at New Haven, Connecticut, and in 1866 was appointed master mechanic of the New Jersey Southern railroad. He became the superintendent of the road in 1874 and in 1884 was appointed to the position which he still holds, that of superintendent of the New York and Long Branch railroad. He has ranked among the prominent citizens of New Jersey for more than a quarter of a century, not only as a railroad manager, but also as a politician and a business man. As a life-long Democrat he has held many of the most im- portant political offices in the gift of his party, and he still exerts a powerful influence in shap- ing the acts and policies of the councils of the New Jersey democracy. He was elected a member of the New Jersey assembly in 1877 and was re-elected in 1878-79, and in the last named year was the candidate of his party for speaker. He was one of the district delegates of New Jersey to the national Democratic con- vention, which in 1880 nominated General Han- cock for the presidency, and in 1896 was a delegate at large to the convention which nomi- nated William J. Bryan. During the presi- dential contest of 1884 he was chairman of the Democratic state committee. In the Demo- cratic state convention of 1886 he was the strong rival of Robert Stockton Greene for the nomination as governor, but after an ex- citing and bitterly fought contest he was de- feated on a very close vote. In 1887 he was elected United States senator and served as such until 1893, in which year he was elected mayor of Long Branch, a position which he held by successive re-elections each year until 1898. He was one of those who organized the First National Bank and the Citizens' National Bank of Long Branch, New Jersey, and of each of these institutions he was chosen presi- dent at its organization. He is a present presi- dent of the Citizens' National Bank, of Long Branch ; a director of the First National Bank,
of Princeton, New Jersey, and of the First Na- tional Bank, of South Amboy, New Jersey, and he is also president of the Tintern-Manor Water Company. On his maternal side his great-grandfathers, Samuel Johnson and Will- iam Brown, both rendered distinguished serv- ice during the revolution, the one in the army and the other in the navy, for which service each received a pension from the government up to the time of his death. Samuel Johnson was born in Sutton, New Hampshire, and died at Wentworth in 1847. William Brown was born in England about 1753, and came to this country in 1772. He enlisted on board the American frigate "Boston," and sailed from Marblehead, under Captain Samuel Tucker. Afterwards his vessel was used to transport to Europe John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams, the former as minister to France.
Mr. Blodgett married (first), November 27, 1861, Amanda M., born in Peacham, Ver- mont, July 23, 1836, died there, January 28, 1879, daughter of Charles and Mary (Harri- man) Hoyt, of Wentworth. He married (sec- ond), July 28, 1879, Chastina (Clark) Simp- son, widow of Henry F. Simpson and daugh- ter of Enoch and Ruth (Harriman) Clark, born in Piermont, New Hampshire, December 14, 1833. Children, both by first marriage : I. Amanda Louisa, born in New Haven, Con- necticut, August 18, 1862 ; died there, January 8, 1863. 2. Harry Thornton, referred to below.
(IX) Harry Thornton, son of the Hon. Rufus and Amanda M. (Hoyt) Blodgett, was born in Manchester, New Jersey, August 25, 1867, and is now living at Long Branch. For his early education he attended the district school at Manchester, and after graduating from the Chaltel high school at Long Branch, he spent a year in the same place under private tutors. He then took up the study of telegraphy in the main office of the Central railroad of New Jersey, being attached to the southern division, and here he remained until his father became superintendent of the New York and Long Branch railroad, when he took a posi- tion under him and has gradually worked up to the place which he now occupies as assistant general ticket agent. Like his father he is a Democrat, and after being twice elected coun- cilman for the second ward of Long Branch, he declined a third election. He is a member of the Royal Arcanum. He married, April 14, 1890, Bertha, daughter of Stephen and Lena (Schwartz) Gerner.

hold township, Monmouth county, New Jer- sey, March 1, 1839, and died in Rahway, Union county, New Jersey, August 15, 1909. He received his education in a small district school house about half a mile from his home. In May, 1855, he entered the Monmouth Demo- crat office as an apprentice, and became fore- man before he reached his majority. In March, 1865, he went to Rahway, and the following year purchased the National Democrat, after having leased it from Hon. Josephus Shann for a year. He changed its name to the Union Democrat, which title it retained throughout his management, and until Mr. Hyer retired from editorial and newspaper work, when its new proprietor gave it the name of the Rah- way News Herald. Mr. Hyer held a number of public offices beginning in 1874, when he was elected mayor of the city of Rahway, and was at the same time appointed clerk of the board of freeholders of the county. In 1881 he accepted the nomination for state senator, but was defeated by a small majority on ac- count of adverse party combinations. March I, 1882, he was appointed by Governor Lud- low for five years a judge of the court of com- mon pleas for Union county, was reappointed by Governor Green in 1887, and again by Gov- ernor Abbet in 1892, and served continuously until April 1, 1896, when changes in the forma- tion of the county courts caused the office to be abolished. In 1889 he was again elected for one year mayor of Rahway, re-elected in 1890 to succeed himself for two years, and after this he withdrew from active politics and de- voted his life to his paper, his church and his family. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church in early life, and for many years held various lay ecclesiastical positions. He was musical director of Trinity Methodist Epis- copal Church, one of the trustees, and chair- man of the building committee during the erection of Trinity edifice, and many of its at- tractions are due to his suggestions. Mr. Hyer was a member of Lafayette Lodge, No. 27, Free and Accepted Masons, of New Jer- sey ; of Chapter, No. 26, Royal Arch Masons ; of Essex County Lodge, No. 27, Independent Order of Odd Fellows., and for twenty years a member of the executive committee of the New Jersey Editorial Association, of which he was an honorary member at his death. When this occurred the Rahway News Herald, his old paper, in a long obituary said of him: "Judge Lewis S. Hyer is dead, and into every home in Rahway sorrow has come because of it. Patiently, faithfully, year after year for
forty-four years, has he come in and gone out before the people, making friends and neigh- bors of them all; gentlemanly, courteous, a thorough Christian, and one who lived up to his professions. Nearly two years ago his health began failing, since which time his friends and associates have watched him grad- ually losing in strength and vitality, although he kept still at his desk, writing kindly articles and editorials, counselling peaceful tactics to his fellow-workmen, and doing many a kindly deed with the right hand of which the left hand knew nothing. After an association of twelve years, with not a shadow of a misunder- standing or an unpleasant word, the writer feels that one of the best friends he ever had in the world has passed peaceful to other realms and 'is reaping his reward for the good deeds done here in the body.' The sorrowing family may rest assured of the sympathy, earnest and sincere, of the people at large, not only of Rahway, but a large territory round about. The loss to the city, the newspaper field, the church, and the large circle of rela- tives and friends, is not one to be made up again, for there has never been but one Judge Lewis S. Hyer in Rahway, and now he is gone. Coming here at a time when all was turmoil and strife, he pushed his way as a young inan to the front in political matters, and kept ever in the van, counselling for what he firmly be- lieved was for the best interests, and generally in the right, he showed himself a safe leader to the last.' He married Jane, daughter of Jacob and Minchie (Morris) Young, who was born May 22, 1839. Only child, Frederick C., re- ferred to below.
(III) Frederick C., son of Lewis Spencer and Jane (Young) Hyer, was born in Rah- way, Union county, New Jersey, December 10, 1874. Mr. Hyer received his education in the Rahway public school, and shortly after leaving school became connected with the print- ing establishment of his father and assisted in the newspaper and mechanical work for two years, after which, in 1892, he entered the law offices of Shafer & Durand, in Rahway, sub- sequently attending the New York Law School, from which he graduated with the degree of LL. B. in 1894. He then entered as a student in the offices of Guild & Lum, in Newark, and remained with them until 1896, when he was admitted to the New Jersey bar as an attorney, becoming counsellor February, 1899. He then took offices in Newark, at the same time doing clerical work in the law offices of John Oliver Halsted Pitney. Shortly after becoming coun-
