* IX. John, b. June 24, 1825; nı. Emma (dau. of Edward W.) Irvine, formerly of Paterson, but then of New York, Sept. 23, 1849. He was a carpenter by trade, but has played many parts in his time: a manufacturer of mineral waters; hotel keeper; gold, silver and nickel plating; livery stable keeper; assessor of the Fifth ward for three years, etc. He is known as John S. Doremus. And thereby hangs a tale. He and his second cousin, John Doremus, were both in a local militia company at the same time. Both were full of mischief, and when "John Doremus" was called, both would start forward simultaneously in response. The captain got so exasperated one night that he ordered them both to stand on the stage in old Continental hall (then the drill-room) until they should each agree upon some middle name to distinguish them from each other. He who was in the mineral water business gravely suggested that he take "S." for his middle initial, and the other John (who was a painter) take "P." for his distinguishing middle initial. This was solemnly concluded, and then he added : "Now, I'll be called 'Soda Water John,' and you'll be called 'Putty John.' " And so it came to pass; but in business they always wrote their names John S. Doremus, and John P. Doremus, respectively.

In 1837 he was a conduc- tor on the railroad, and afterwards did duty as ticket agent in the company's office at No. 75 Cortlandt street, New York.

He was brought up as a farmer, but also learned the trade of weaving blue-and-white blankets. When his father removed to Western New York, Henry came to Pat- erson and worked in the cotton mills-weaving cotton cloth in the Beaver mill, and afterwards bed-ticking in Mark W. Collet's front mill on Mill street, where he was a boss. While in the latter employ, he was one day called on to start a silk loom for John Ryle, in the Gun mill-the first silk loom in Paterson.

She was one of the girls, dressed in white, with a long hlue scarf over her shoulder, who wel- comed Lafayette on the occasion of his visit to Paterson, and had the delightful honor of shaking him by the hand. She must have been a very pretty girl in her youth, for even in February, 1896, when the writer called on her, at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Samuel Riker, at Little Falls, he found that her eighty-nine years had by no means oblit- erated the traces of her early beauty, nor blotted out the memory of her girlish triumphs.
