Anson Higley .- The pioneer settlers of Genesee County and their children are rapidly passing away, and in a few years all will have been gathered to their fathers. But they have a no more worthy representa- tive living in this county than Anson Higley.

John Higley, the eldest child of Jonathan Higley and Katherine Brew- ster, his wife, was born in Surrey, England, 30 miles southwest of Lon- don, July 22, 1649. When of suitable age he was apprenticed to a glover in London for the period of his minority. Family tradition says that, in his seventeenth year, he incurred the displeasure of his master, who promised him a severe flogging the next morning. To escape the lash, and perhaps to satisfy a longing for adventure, or actuated by the worthier motive of becoming a free citizen of the new and promising land which he no doubt had read and heard of much, he hastily bundled up his scanty wardrobe, and concealed himself in a vessel which was about to sail for America. In due time he landed at the trading post of Wind- sor, on the Connecticut River, and there he found employment. In 1671 he married Hannah Drake, daughter of a prominent citizen of the place; soon after purchased a home, and became in time one of the most prom- inent in the colony. In 1690 he was commissioned a lieutenant, and was afterward promoted to the post of captain. He was elected to the General Assembly of Connecticut in 1689, and afterwards elected to 28 of the 37 sessions of that body. He was the father of 16 children. This runaway boy, John Higley, is the sole ancestor of all who bear the name in America.

In 1808 Isaac Higley, Sr., (the grandfather of Anson,) with his brother Eber, (who was in the War of 1812, taken prisoner, and died in Halifax,) and Isaac, Jr., came to Elba and settled on Spring Creek. There were seven children, of whom Isaac, Jr., was the eldest and the only son. The daughters were Abbie, wife of Elias Pettibone, the father of Col. Elias J .; Ruth, wife of'Squire Daniel Mills, an old justice of Elba ; Adah, wife of Zebulon Woodruff, of Elba ; Anna, wife of Samuel Lampson, of Onondaga County ; Hannah, wife of William Knapp ; and Candace, wife of John Hawkins, of Alexander. The grandfather died in 1810, and was the first person buried in the old burying-ground in the southeast part of Elba.

Isaac Higley, the father of Anson, married, in Connecticut, Dorothy Killburn, and reared seven children, namely: Emily (Mrs. W. Hol- brook), who died in Ohio; Horace, who died in Elba; Maria (Mrs. Isaac Tinkham), who also died in Ohio ; Eber, who died in 1887 in Wis- consin ; Isaac N., who died in Elba; Elvira (Mrs. Charles Ames), now of Seneca County, Ohio; and Anson. The father was a farmer in Elba from his settlement in 1808 until his death in 1829.

Anson Higley was born in Elba in 1811, and is one of the oldest liv- ing natives of the county. He followed farming in his native town for nearly 70 years, and has obtained by hard work and steady application a handsome property, which he has generously divided among his chil- dren. Since 1881 he has been a resident of Batavia, where he is enjoy- ing a well earned rest from active labor. While a resident of Elba Mr. Higley was for several terms assessor and supervisor of his town, and was always in favor of improvements to the benefit of town and county. He was one of the first highway commissioners, and labored assiduously in establishing the roads of his section. He united in marriage, in 1837, with Lydia Newkirk, of Orange County, who died in 1858. They had six children, viz .: Mary, wife of M. M. Brown, a leading attorney of Osage, Mitchell County, Iowa; Sarah E., wife of F. P. Terry, of Batavia; Isaac A., a leading farmer of Elba; Elizabeth W .; Humphrey (deceased); John O., a farmer of Batavia; and Emma, wife of William Robe, a prominent farmer of Elba. In 1875 Mr. Higley was united in marriage with Lizzie Cassidy, a native of Vermont. They are active members of the Baptist Church, and are liberal contributors to its support. Mr. Hig- ley is still interested in farming, and in all the relations of life has borne himself conscientiously, uprightly, and honorably. He is a man of ge- nial personality, of superior mental attributes, and a kindly, Christian gentleman.

His children are Thomas M., William S., Eliza A., and Jesse B. Mrs. Sarah A. Hopkins died in Batavia, October 12, 1878, aged 62 years. Mr. Hopkins, grandfather of James, was of the old Puritan stock, and at the time of the French and Indian war suffered for the necessaries of life. It is told of him that prices for inferior provisions at that time were enor- mous : for one-quarter of a dog five shillings and sixpence were paid ; for a dog's head two shillings and sixpence; horse flesh was nearly two shillings per pound ; even cats, rats, and mice were used for food. A pound of tallow was worth four shillings. William S. Hopkins married Prudence E. Jones, of Batavia, and they have two children, Robert J. and Eliza. He is now a resident of Buffalo, being engaged in the mal- leable iron works at Black Rock. Robert N. Hopkins is a farmer on road 63, where he has lived for 29 years.

Dr. Horace S. Hutchins, son of Asa and Lydia (Willis) Hutchins, was born in the village of Manlius, Onondaga County, N. Y., January 5, 1829. The father, a descendant of sturdy New England stock, was one of the early and efficient pioneers in the early settlement of the central part of this State. He died in Genesee County, October 1, 1871. The mother is from a long-lived family, and the oldest of a family of chil- dren each of whom lived to the age of 80 years. She married succes- sively two brothers, and by each husband reared two sons and one daughter : Oramel, Loren, and Lure Ann ; Sophia, Horace S., and Har- vey. Dr. Hutchins's early life was spent upon the farm and in attend- ing the district school winters, receiving such knowledge as they afforded a half century past. At the age of 16 he commenced his academic work in Hamilton Academy in Madison County, N. Y., pursuing a four years' course of preparatory study, which enabled him to enter Madison Uni- versity, from which institution he graduated and secured the degrees of A. B. and M. A. in course. He was teacher of mathematics in the Ladies' Seminary of Hamilton two years, and principal of Peterboro Academy one year, during which time, having formed a taste for the study of medicine, and obtaining from many able physicians a good prac- tical knowledge of therapeutics, he naturally developed the faculties necessary for the course he marked out for himself, and to which profes- sion he has since devoted his energies and life. At the age of 25, seek- ing to restore his health and to learn something of the world, he set out on an ocean voyage to the West Indies, Central America, across the Isthmus, along the route of the Nicaragua Canal, up the San Juan River from Greytown to Castillo rapids; thence across Lake Nicaragua and the highlands of Gautemala to the Pacific Ocean; thence with the Coast Survey along the coasts of Mexico and California to San Francisco, land- ing there in the early years of the gold fever. For three years, and during his stay in Nevada City, he had charge of its school work, and also pur- sued the study and practice of medicine. He held various official posi- tions in that city, whose foundations were laid in gold. It was during his visit and stay in California that he was one of many who engaged in that terrible struggle for supremacy between law and order, and the minions of overt criminality, when the famous Vigilance Committee assembled in hosts sufficient to awe and overpower the workers of crime. The powers of State were restored, society purified, and an example for good was inaugurated which has left its impress upon the whole Nation. It may not be out of place here to state, for a comparison, that the last

professional act of Dr. Hutchins on the coast brought him the sum of $40 in gold, he being the recipient of that amount for a simple prescrip- tion, unsolicited on his part.

In June, 1857, he returned from California to Buffalo, N. Y., engaging in active business relations with his brother Harvey, and in September of the same year was married to Harriet M., daughter of Corrington Babcock, of Madison County, N. Y. In May, 1859, he moved to Batavia, taking up his old work-the practice of medicine. Visiting New York city the next year, and spending many months in review and study in the old and new schools of medicine, he graduated and returned to Batavia, where for the past 30 years he has faithfully and successfully labored, ob- taining a rank in the profession possessed only by the few, gaining the re- spect and confidence of those who are the recipients of his ministrations, and by his consistent conduct and steadfastness of purpose has gained the respect of the whole community. He has been one of the vice-presi- dents of the New York State Homeopathic Medical Society, and one of the censors of the same society for years; a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy 23 years; a member of the Western New York Medical Society since its formation ; an alumnus of the New York Ho- meopathic Medical College Hospital Association; and a director and act- ive worker in the banking interests of the village. For nearly 10 years he was president of the board of education, and an active and zealous promoter of the cause of education. Dr. Hutchins's children are Fanny A. and Eleanora, the latter the wife of Dr. John W. Le Seur. The family are earnest and devoted members of the Baptist Church, contributing generously to its growth and support.

Dr. John Wesley Le Seur (son of John Le Seur, now in his 85th year, and a minister of the Methodist Church in Vermont) was born in Hart- land, Vt., in 1857. He was graduated in turn from the Fort Edward (N. Y.) Collegiate Institute, class of'77; Rochester University, class of'81 ; Rochester Theological Seminary, class of '84; and the Hahnemann Med- ical College of Philadelphia, class of '86. In 1885 he founded the Medi- cal Institute of Philadelphia, to which he still contributes articles. He began to practice with Dr. Hutchins at Batavia in the spring of 1886. In 1887 he was appointed by Governor Hill one of the trustees of the Insti- tution for the Blind at Batavia. During the same year and the succeed- ing one he was town physician, and is now jail physician. Dr. Le Seur for three years has been president of the Philharmonic Club in Batavia. He is a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy and the West-

ern New York Homeopathic Medical Society. His family consists of a wife, formerly Miss Eleanora Hutchins, daughter of Dr. Hutchins, and two children. He belongs to the Baptist Church, and is also an active member of the Young Men's Christian Association. Dr. Le Seur is re- garded as one of the most skilled physicians in the place, and commands a lucrative practice.

Hinman Holden was born in Adams, Mass., in 1787, and came to Ba- tavia in 1805, and thus was closely identified with the early history of this village and county. He was a man of good sound judgment, one to be relied upon to help and succor a just cause. In the War of 1812 he took his sled and oxen and drew flour to Buffalo to supply the soldiers, trav- eling night and day, which, in the state of the roads at that time, was no light task. At one time (about 1825) he kept the American Hotel. He died in 1871, aged 84 years. He was father to Richard O. Holden, who was born March 5, 1814, in a log house on the farm owned by W. H. G. Post. Richard O. Holden was a clerk in New York for five years, and on his return went into business with G. A. Lay, in a store where the Masse block now is. In 1847 the firm was Holden & Thorn, corner of Main and Jackson streets. In 1859 he built the large store now occupied by his son, and had as partners Messrs. Glover and Foote. Other (branch) stores were operated in Alabama and Warsaw. In five years' time Glover and Foote retired, and in 1880 Mr. Holden took his son Hinman into partnership, under the title of R. O. Holden & Son. He died May 29, 1887, aged 73. During his long residence here he made many friends. He enjoyed the fullest confidence of all his neighbors, was ever fair, and scrupulously honest. His judgment was often sought in matters of public interest, and he took a kindly welfare in the efforts of others to succeed. He married Miss Hannah Wells. Hinman Holden, the eldest son of R. O. Holden, was born here in 1852. He was educated in the schools in this section, and finished his studies in Hamden, Conn. In 1869 he entered his father's store, and in 1880 became his partner, but since 1872 has had the care and responsibility of the business. He possesses the rare executive ability which so marked the life of his father, and is a worthy successor. He was married, in 1886, to Miss Eva O. Smith, daughter of Wilber Smith, and they have one son, Richard O. The fam- ily are Episcopalians.
