Catharine, Lydia A., Eva and Angeline. Mrs. Hannah Eckler died June 20, 1876. James was raised on a farm and received a district school education. He has always resided on the homestead which he owns. Ile is an active Democrat.
Lloyd, D. Frank, son of David J. Lloyd, of Frankfort, N. Y., was born in Utica, N. Y., in 1859, and removed to Frankfort the following year, passed his boyhood days in that village and entered Hungerford Collegiate Institute, Adams, N. Y., as a student in 1873, from which he graduated with honors in 1876. In the following year he entered upon the study of law in New York city, and passed his final examinations and was admitted to practice in the year 188I. Immediately after his admission to the bar Mr. Lloyd was appointed by N. H. Decker, who was at that time the largest railroad contractor in the country, as his confidential adviser and attorney, and was placed in charge of all his railroad contract work, which was being carried on in this State as well as in the States of Illinois, Michigan and Indiana, and continuing with him until his death, about three years afterwards. Mr. Lloyd then resumed the practice of law in New York city, and became a member of the well known firm of Ingersoll, Carty & Lloyd ; the firm en- joys a large and lucrative practice, having offices in New York, Washington and Phil- adelphia, representing several large estates and corporations. Mr. Lloyd, while yet a young man, is identified with several large corporations, being secretary and treasurer of the New York Cable Railway Construction Company and the American Visual Telegraph Company, and is president of the Westchester Automatie Lighting Company, as well as director of several other corporations. Mr. Lloyd was married in 1890 to Miss Anita Heinemann, of Berlin, Germany. Ile is a member of several clubs of the metropolis, and is well known to New Yorkers, as well as throughout Herkimer county.
Hose, Wallace, was born at the old homestead of his grandfather, Henry Hose, in Kring's Bush, a farming district north of St. Johnsville in Montgomery county, N. Y. Ilis parents soon after located in St. Johnsville. After receiving a good education in the schools of that town, he took a commercial course in Cazenovia Seminary. His early business experience was in mercantile transactions, he having been engaged in this line in St. Johnsville for two years, and at Fort Plain. In the year 1876 he entered the employ of H. M. Burch & Company, with whom he remained seven years. He then accepted a position with Titus Sheard & Company as book-keeper, eventually being admitted a member of the concern, in which he now holds the position of secretary of the com- pany. Mr. Ilose is a member of various local social and benevolent institutions. He married Edith I. Sheard, and they have one child.
Elwood Families, the, of America, are believed to have descended from Richard El- wood, an Englishman, who, with his wife, came to this country in 1748. He built, on the turnpike a short distance east of the present site of St. Johnsville, a stone house which he occupied, and which was afterwards used as a fort. The house is still stand- ing. ITis children were: Richard, Benjamin. Peter, Isaac, Mrs. Van Allen, and Mrs. Sconten.
The son Peter was born March 5, 1754. Ile married Peggy Nellis and moved to Ilallsville, Montgomery county, where he rented a farm for the consideration of an ear

The son, Moses Elwood, was born June 11, 1817. The common schools and the library gave him his education. In 1842 he married Mary C. Springer, who came from Rensselaer county and settled in Warren. Married life began on the farm where he now resides and which has been enlarged and greatly improved. He has served as justice of the peace sixteen years, and as commissioner of highways He is a member and trustee of the M. E. church and has always been a liberal supporter of it. Mrs. Elwood died in 1887. They had eight children : Isaac N., who died at Flint, Mich., was a prominent and leading member of the Detroit M. E.
