Separating in 1892, Hall & Frisbee engaged in manufacturing hardwood lumber in Mis- souri, Arkansas and Mississippi, while Shaver & Hall continued the stave and heading busi- ness. In 1901 Mr. Hall withdrew from the lumber business, but continued with the other until I911. Although Mr. Shaver died in 1904, his estate remained interested until the business was wound up.
Mr. Hall has withdrawn largely from active manufacturing. since 1900, devoting himself principally to landed investments in the south and west, and becoming interested in a variety of local enterprises. He was a director of the Jamestown National Bank, the Chautauqua County Trust Company and the National Chautauqua County Bank, as each institu- tion was merged in the succeeding one. Al- ways a Republican in politics, he held the office of supervisor of the town of Carroll in 1878- 79. He is a thirty-second degree Mason, be- ing a member of Mt. Moriah Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; Western Sun Chapter, Royal Arch Masons ; Jamestown Commandery, Knights Templar ; Ismailia Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; Buffalo Consistory, Scot- tish Rite Bodies, and is also a member of the Jamestown and the Sportsman's clubs.

James Parker was born in Westfield, Chautauqua county, New York, December 18, 1818, died at Frewsburg, September 21, 1863. In 1838 he married Sabra, daughter of Luther Howard.

corporal. He served with distinction in the Army of the Potomac, First Army Corps, under General McDowell, and took part in the battles of Cedar Mountain, Bull Run (the second battle) and South Mountain.

His enlist- ment expiring in two years, he reënlisted, and was commissioned major by President Lin- coln. Being assigned to the Army of the Southwest, under General Sherman, he joined him at Chattanooga, and was engaged in the battle of Lookout Mountain. After this he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-col- onel, and took part in Sherman's march to the sea. After the surrender of Lee he was mus- tered out of service. He came to Salamanca, Cattaraugus county, New York, and entered the passenger department of the Atlantic & Great Western railroad, which afterward be- came part of the Erie; he remained in their employment until 1879. In that year he was elected treasurer of Cattaraugus county, and being repeatedly reëlected, he held this posi- tion until 1894, when he declined a renomina- tion.

At about the close of the fifteenth century the castle was granted as the crest to John Barttelot, and in the sixteenth century the Swan crest was granted in commemoration of the right granted the family by William the Conqueror to keep swans in the river Arun.
