DR. JOHN C. BARRON, of New York, who pos- sesses an experience and record as surgeon in the late war of which he may well feel proud, was born in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., in 1837, and this county having been his home until the beginning of the war he is entitled to notice in connection with the medical profession of this county. For a full sketch of his life see biography of the Barron family of Wood- bridge.


HENRY R. BALDWIN was born in the city of New York, Sept. 18, 1829, and is the son of Eli Baldwin, M.D., D.D., and Phœbe Van Nest. He received his early education in the schools of New York, prepared for college at Rutgers College Grammar School, graduated at Rutgers College in 1849, studied medi- cine, and took his degree at the College of Physicians in the city of New York in 1853. The same year he

entered Bellevue Hospital as interne, and after leaving the hospital practiced about eight months on Staten Island, when he became surgeon of the steamship " Baltic."


On Dec. 27, 1855, he settled in New Brunswick, where he married Elizabeth V. C. Rutgers, and has had eight children, five sons and three daughters, of whom three sons and two daughters still survive.


Dr. Baldwin's career as a practitioner has been re- markably successful. But as he is still in the prime of life, and his practice has not yet probably attained its maximum extent and usefulness, it would be premature to speak of it more fully here. He is a permanent member of the American Medical Associ- ation, has been president and treasurer of the State Medical Society, and president of the District Medi- cal Society of the county of Middlesex.


As a citizen he has taken an active part in the local municipal government and in affairs of public interest of the city of New Brunswick, having been identified with the establishment of the water-works, and for twelve years a member of its board, also of the board of aldermen and chosen freeholders, and for seventeen years a member of the board of educa- tion of the city of New Brunswick.


Dr. Baldwin has instructed about forty students in medicine during the twenty-six years of his practice young ; John Scott Blauvelt, a lawyer in New Bruns- in New Brunswick.

CHAPTER LXXI.


THE PRESS OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY.


The Guardian and New Brunswick Advertiser was established by Abraham Blauvelt in 1792. The paper was a zealous Federal organ, and one of the oldest and best papers then published in the country. In addition to home news, carefully selected foreign intelligence, etc., it had unusually able correspond- ents, and their articles would compare favorably with the best found in the leading papers of the country to-day. It evidently was extensively circulated in Monmouth, Somerset, and adjoining counties, as seen by its advertisements. The number for Dec. 24, 1799, is in deep mourning for the death of Wash- ington.


Abraham Blauvelt, the publisher of this paper, was one of the most enterprising of the early citizens of New Brunswick. He died about 1834. He was born in Rockland County, N. Y., near Old Tappan, and also, in connection with his newspaper business, was to some extent a book publisher. He married Jane, daughter of Dr. Moses Scott, of New Brunswick, and had the following-named children : Cornelius,1 who was a physician in Paterson, N. J .; Helen, who died wick; Charles, a physician of Hightstown, N. J .; and Isaac Alston, a teacher by profession.


Mrs. John Scott Blauvelt, whose maiden name was Mary Boggs, Robert Boggs, James Lawrence, Jane Mitchel, and Frances Brenton Blauvelt are the sur- viving descendants in New Brunswick.


Under the head of the "City of New Brunswick in 1799" will be found many interesting items taken from an old file of The Guardian, or New Brunswick Ad- vertiser, for that day. We take from the columns of this paper, September, 1816, in the possession of Mr. Albert L. Blue, of The Home News, the following cut and fac-simile of the advertisement of one of the sailing packets plying between New Brunswick and New York before the days of railroads and stean navigation. (See page 529.)


The New Brunswick Fredonian was established on the 10th of April, 1811, by the brothers James and David Fitz Randolph, who were born in the township of Piscataway, Middlesex County. They served an apprenticeship to the printing business in the office of the Gazette, at Alexandria, Va., and were but little past their majority when they commenced the publi- cation of the Fredonian. The paper was at first printed on a medium sheet, issued weekly, and pre- sented a creditable typographical appearance, the Randolphs being good practical printers in their day. The Randolphs were earnest Republicans of the Jeffersonian type, and advocated the principles

of that party in the Fredonian, which at once took high rank in importance and influence in the State, the paper circulating largely in all the counties. The editorials were mainly written by James F. Randolph, were models in style, terse, vigorous, and brief, full of the advanced and cultivated thought of the day, and in consequence were quoted

They did not confine their labors solely to the print- ing business, but also engaged in other mercantile affairs a large portion of the time of their con- nection with the Fredonian. During the years 1828, '29, '30, '31, and '32, James was a member

largely in other newspapers, and made their mark upon the times. The brothers were active in all the social, religious, and political movements in town, county, and State, and frequently filled places of honor and trust in the community. They were honored with such offices as alderman, justice of the peace, judge of the Court of Common Pleas, mayor, county clerk, postmaster, etc., the brothers

He continued very deaf during the remainder of his life. About the year 1848 James went to Easton, Pa., to reside, and there engaged in the wholesale coal business, in which he succeeded in accumula- ting a handsome fortune. He still continued to

write the leading editorials of the Fredonian, which were regnlarly forwarded to it each week until the paper passed out of the hands of the Randolphs, in 1854. James was the father of Theodore F. Ran- dolph, Governor of New Jersey from 1869 to 1872. During the period that the Fredonian was published by the Randolphs the paper supported the national administrations of Presidents Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Harrison, Taylor, and Fillmore, ad- vocating the doctrines of the Whig party during the whole period that party was in existence. The brothers were model citizens, and highly respected wherever known. David died in New Brunswick in 1863, and James at Easton, Pa., in 1872. After pub- lishing the Fredonian for a period of forty-three years, the establishment was sold to John F. Bab- cock on the 12th of April, 1854, Mr. Babcock having occupied a subordinate position in the office during the previous fifteen months. While the Ran- dolphs published the Fredonian very little attention was given to the publication of local news, their efforts having been almost solely directed to State and national affairs. Under the editorship of Mr. Babcock the character of the paper was materially changed. Believing that the people of the connty and vicinity were more interested in matters occur- ring immediately around them, the new editor de- voted his attention mainly to the collection and pub- lication of local news, national and foreign matters having only a secondary importance in the paper. This change proved to be a popular one, and a large increase in the number of subscribers followed, its present list not being exceeded by more than three or four newspapers in the State. Local news still continnes to occupy the largest share of space in its columns. Upon the organization of the Republican party the Fredonian at once adopted its leading principles, and its editorial and political columns have ever since been in harmony with them. The Weekly Fredonian for many years of late was printed on a sheet twenty-eight by forty-two inches in size, and with its frequent supplements furnished a large amount of reading matter during each year,-more than the majority of the weekly newspapers in the State. The weekly edition of the Fredonian was dis- continued in April, 1882, and its place supplied by the Semi- Weekly Fredonian, published every Tuesday and Friday, for two dollars a year in advance. The Semi- Weekly Fredonian is printed on a sheet twenty-four by thirty-eight inches in size, eight columns on a page, and has become even more popular with its readers than the Weekly Fredonian, because of the large amount of reading matter furnished and its frequent issues.


On Jan. 15, 1855, Mr. Babcock commenced the publication of a daily evening paper, which was at first called The Daily New Brunswicker. The title was changed in 1857 to the Daily Fredonian, which it has ever since maintained. The Daily Fredonian


possesses the same general characteristics as the Weekly and Semi- Weekly Fredonian, mentioned above, being devoted largely to local affairs and Republican in politics. It is printed on a sheet twenty-four by thirty-eight inches in size, eight columns on a page, and sold for three cents a single copy, or six dollars a year in advance. It has a large and growing circula- tion.


In connection with the Fredonian office is a large book and job printery, with four steam-power presses and all the appliances of a modern printing establish- ment, which is located at No. 36 Dennis Street.


The Targum, a sixteen-page monthly paper, edited by the students of Rutgers College, and conducted in their interest, is printed and published at the Fredo- niun office.


In the summer of 1856, David N. Merritt bought an interest in the Fredonian establishment, and the business was conducted under the firm-name of " Bab- cock & Merritt" until the spring of 1861, when Mr. Merritt retired from the concern.


On the 1st of January, 1869, Samuel L. Johnson purchased an interest in the office, and the business was conducted under the firm-name of "Babcock & Johnson" until April, 1879, when Mr. Johnson re- tired, and the business continued since then by John F. Babcock alone.


JOHN F. BABCOCK, editor and proprietor of the New Brunswick Fredonian, was born in New York City, Aug. 20, 1825, the only son of John Babcock and Sarah Patch. The progenitor of the Babcock family here was one of the Roger Williams colonists in Rhode Island, and his ancestors were among the earliest settlers of Springfield and Northampton, Mass.


His grandfather, Elisha Babcock, resided at North- ampton, was a chair manufacturer, and reared all his sons to the same business. He served seven years in the Revolutionary war, and at the advanced age of ninety-four years died about 1842. His wife was a Miss Windwell Burt. John, son of Elisha Babcock, born at Northampton, Mass., married Sarah Patch, and soon after his marriage, in 1824, settled in New York City, where he established the business of chair- making and fancy chair-painting on John Street. His business career was prematurely cut short by his death at the age of twenty-six years, on May 30, 1826. His widow and son John F. removed west, where she was afterwards married again, and resided until lier death, which occurred at Cambridge, Mich., in 1873. The son, John F., is the subject of this sketch, and at the age of fifteen came to Dansville, N. Y., and for four years was an apprentice in learning the print- ing business. He went to New York City in 1844, where he was connected with the Home Journal pub- lishing office, and became foreman and private secre- tary for the publishers, Morris & Willis. In 1850 he went into the phonetic office of that city, where he remained for two years, and for several years there- after he was the only phonographer in the State of

New Jersey. Mr. Babcock had by this time become thoroughly conversant with publishing, and desiring to be master of his own pen he came to New Bruns- wick in 1852, and for two years was the superintend- ent and foreman in the Fredonian office. On April 12, 1854, he purchased this paper, and has remained its editor and proprietor since, a period of twenty- eight years. Under Mr. Babcock's management the circulation of the Fredonian has increased from three hundred and fifty to twenty-three hundred sub- scribers, and for many years has been not only one of the largest local papers, but has wielded an influ- ence second to none in the State. He is a logical, terse, spirited writer, and his editorials and the whole tone of his paper are intended to place before his readers facts, and serve as an educator in all that pertains to locality, State, and nation.


Mr. Babcock was one of the founders of the State Editorial Association in 1857, secretary of the same for twenty-one years, treasurer for three years, and was elected its president in January, 1882. Since his resi- dence in New Brunswick he has been prominently identified with the Republican party, and through his newspaper has unflinchingly advocated its principles of reform, not hesitating to criticise its measures when opposed to justice and right.


Mr. Babcock served the city as clerk in 1859-60, and was secretary of the New Jersey Senate for four years, 1861-64. He was united in marriage on May 1, 1851, to Gertrude Ann, daughter of William Wil- liamson, of Franklin township, Somerset Co., N. J., by whom he has one son, F. Ford Babcock, foreman of the Fredonian news-room, and one daughter, Emily Augusta Babcock.


The New Brunswick Times and General Ad- vertiser was started June 1, 1815, and was " printed and published every Thursday morning by Deare & Myer at ' Washington's Head,' New Brunswick, New Jersey." Its introductory editorial speaks of the growing importance of New Brunswick as a com- mercial and manufacturing town, and of the de- mands for the publication of a newspaper. It was " published at the rate of two dollars and fifty cents per annum, payable at the expiration of six months from the time of receiving the first paper after sub- scribing." The publishers announce that they are "attached to and the paper is conducted in the in- terest of the Federal- Republican party." Mr. Gordon has a number of The Times (vol. ii., whole No. 71), dated Oct. 3, 1816.


At what date The Times passed into the hands of Mr. Albert R. Speer we have not been able to as- certain, but he continued to conduct the paper until his death in 1869. He was an able and influential journalist and a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school, except for a brief period subsequent to 1846, when he espoused Free-Soil principles and turned over his paper to the advocacy of that faction of the Demo- cratic party. This gave occasion for the establish-


ment of the New Jersey Union as a regular Democratic organ by Alphonso E. Gordon in the latter part of May, 1847.


Alphonso E. Gordon was born in Philadelphia, Pa., March 12, 1826, and learned the printer's trade in the office of The Delaware State Journal, at Wilmington, Del. He was just past twenty-one, and was engaged in The Emporium office, at Trenton, N. J., when the opening occurred for starting the new Democratic paper, the Union, at New Brunswick. He imme- diately repaired thither, and issued the first number late in May, 1847.


First Daily in New Brunswick .- The Daily News was started by Mr. Gordon in March, 1851. It was conducted by him in connection with the New Jersey Union until February, 1855, when The Times, under Mr. Spear, having returned to its " first love," and there being two Democratic papers in the city, Mr. Gordon sold the good will of both the daily and weekly to Mr. Speer, and removed his printing mate- rials to Grand Rapids, Mich. The Daily News and New Jersey Union were then merged with The Times, which latter Mr. Speer conducted till his death, as mentioned above, when The Times was sold to Hon. William B. Guild, then, as now, of the Newark Jour- nal, who started the Daily Times in November, 1869.


Dec. 28, 1871, Alphonso E. Gordon bought The Times establishment, and has since conducted the Daily and Weekly Times.


The Home News (Daily) was started Feb. 1, 1879, by Albert L. Blue and Joseph Fischer, as a penny daily paper, in Hope's building, Hiram Street, New Brunswick, N. J. It started with an issue of seven hundred copies.
