HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY
George H. Wood, a descendant of one of the first settlers, was born in Malone in 1817, and became principal of Franklin Academy, and afterward, until 1851, a practicing lawyer here. In 1851 he removed to Wisconsin, where he continued to practice for a number of years, and then went to the Colorado gold fields. There he perfected an invention of value in mining, which he sold for a moderate fortune, but was robbed the day before he had planned to start East, and left penniless. He then located for two or three years in Illinois, and in 1868 returned to Malone, and made his home here until he died January 18, 1898.
Charles C. Whittelsey, born in Connecticut in 1818, came to Northern New York in his young manhood, after having acquired large landed interests in Bangor. He identified himself with Malone about 1850, engaged in the foundry business and in the manufacture of woolen cloth, and for many years was one of the town's principal citizens. He died March 5, 1889.
Horatio P. Wilson, born in Bangor in 1824, was always a farmer except during his army service in the civil war, in which he rose to be a captain in the 142d regiment. He was struck by a fragment of shell, suffering a spinal injury which caused paralysis of the legs. For thirty vears he never knew a painless hour, and only an indomitable will kept him up. For all of his crippled condition and suffering, he was remark- ably active, both in business and in politics. . He was superintendent of the poor for six years. He died April 22, 1894.
Wallace H. Webster, born in Constable March 27, 1827, was for several years in trade at Trout River, with his brother, Edwin A., as partner, and also for a time with Edwin L. Meigs. In 1860 he removed to Malone, where he continued the mercantile business, and then bought the tannery which he and his brothers operated for thirty-odd years. Mr. Webster was a partisan of the extremest sect, of the Democratic persuasion, and gave unsparingly of time and effort to his party's service. No man was ever more loyal to his friends, and locally he was public spirited and one of the best of citizens. He died June 28. 1892.
Sylvester S. Willard, born in Middlebury, Vt., in 1830, came to Malone in 1853 or 1854, studied law, and was admitted to the bar ; but himself recognizing his lack of assertiveness and disbelieving his adapta- bility to the practice of the profession, made little use of his really

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
superior accomplishments until after his return from service in the civil war as a captain in the 98th regiment. He was elected soon afterward justice of the peace, and until his death was practically the only magis- trate in the town who was active in such capacity. Ile soon came to be appreciated as having one of the best minds and as one of the best judges of law in the county. Mr. Willard was also an officer in the internal revenue service, and was elected school commissioner in 1875. Disdain- ing to lift even a hand to gain a second term, he was not re-elected, though his service had been excellent. He died October 11, 1890.
Parrit B. Wolf, born at Fort Covington in 1826, was a hotel keeper at Bangor from 1859 until the outbreak of the civil war, when he raised a company, and went out as a captain in the 98th regiment. After the war he located in Malone, and continued to reside here until 1877, when he was appointed to a government clerkship in Washington, where he died January 14, 1890.
A. A. Wilbur, born in Keeseville in 1834, located in St. Lawrence county before the civil war, and came to Constable in 1864 to engage in the practice of medicine. He was active in politics as a Republican, and influential in all local affairs. He died August 3, 1888.
Walter H. Winchester, born in Malone March 20, 1844, served in the Union army during the civil war, and after his return completed his course at Franklin Academy, and was graduated at Amherst Col- lege. He then became principal of Fort Covington Academy, and studied law while he was teaching. After practicing at Fort Covington for a few years with only indifferent success, he removed to North Dakota in 1885, and, open, hail-fellow-well-met, and without a single vicious habit, found the West a field wherein he was at home and bound to make his mark. He was elected district superintendent of schools almost at once, and soon afterward district judge for a district compris- ing ten counties - continuing by successive re-elections to hold the latter office until his death. He died at Bismarck March 6, 1913.
Charles H. Young, born at Bleeker, Fulton county, November 26, 1857, located at St. Regis Falls with his parents in 1866, and continued to make that place his home until 1896. At an early age Mr. Young became active in business, engaging in merchandising and lumbering. working as a surveyor, etc., and evincing interest in all of the civic

HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY
and political affairs of the locality. He served the town as supervisor for a number of years, and was an efficient worker for the Republican party. Mr. Young removed to Texas in 1896 to represent two land and timber companies of New York city in developing and marketing their Texas properties, and is still interested himself in a small way in oil wells there. Since 1912 he has made Malone his home, though still representing his former Texas employees in special transactions. Mr. Young has a remarkable fund of general information, and a sound and keen business judgment.
