JAMES F. CONVERSE.

The subject of this sketch was born in Bridgewater, N. Y., October 2, 1825. His father and grandfather were natives of Belchertown, Mass. His father, Thomas Converse, came to Bridgewater at an early age and married Lydia A. Stratton. In 1835 the family moved into Ellisburgh, this county, and bought the farm upon which Mr. Converse now lives. It is beautifully located on the west bank of Big Sandy Creek, in the village of Woodville, and contains 255 acres.

Mr. Converse prepared for college at Union Academy of Belleville, N. Y. He graduated from Hamilton College at the age of 23 years. Owing to fail- ing health he purchased the old homestead in 1848, and since that time has

been actively engaged in a high order of farming. Mr. Converse is a pioneer in stock circles in New York state. His herd of thoroughbred Ayrshires is second to none in the United States, having won prizes in several exhibitions from St. Louis to Boston. In his early career he made several importations from Scotland, which were the foundation of several noted families, repre- sentatives of which may still be seen in his stables. Eight Shetland ponies came with the last importation of cattle, which formed a nucleus of small horses from which have been rasied some of the finest specimens of " little horses " found in the East. He has held the office of president of the Ayrshire Breeders' Association of the United State; and Canada for a num- ber of years.

In 1874 Mr. Converse built a mammoth barn, which accommodates 100 head of cattle and 60 horses, with room for fodder for the entire number, together with all the modern improvements for caring for fancy stock. He has always been an advocate of advanced farming. His farm is in a high state of cultivation, and is run on the high pressure principle. In 1876 he built a large and commodious house on a gentle eminence overlooking the village, and all things considered " Riverside " is a farmstead worthy of the labor, time, and money the proprietor has so judiciously expended.

He has always taken an active part in agricultural organizations, both local and state, having held offices in town, county, and state agricultural societies for many years. Being a ready speaker, in 1889 he was chosen conductor of of the State Farmers' institutes, thus doing all in his power to elevate his chosen profession to the desired standard. Mr. Converse early affiliated his political faith with the Republican party, and has been a staunch adherent to its principles ever since. He has been a member of the Congregational Church in his chosen village over 50 years.

November 12, 1857, Mr. Converse married Marietta Bull, daughter of Alvah and Louise Bull, of Rural Hill, N. Y. This union was blessed with two children, viz .: Frank Alvah, born May 12, 1862, and Marietta May, born October 18, 1865. After a brief illness of typhoid fever Mrs. Converse died November 18, 1865. He married for his second wife Adelia C. Hopper, daughter of Samuel and Betsey Hopper, of Antwerp, N. Y. Two children were the issue of this marriage, namely : George Henry, born June 26, 1870, and Clara Jerusha, born July 27, 1874.

Mr. Converse is a public spirited, warm hearted man, and enjoys an envia- ble reputation among a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
