BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

EDWARD PAYSON ROE.

Edward Payson Roe was born on the banks of the Hudson, in the town of New Windsor, on March 7, 1838. His aneestry is more particularly referred to in the sketch of his brother, Rev. Alfred C. Roe, in this work. His early home is described in his story, "Opening a Chestnut Burr," and again referred to in

T-K

the description of the quaint old garden which has so important a place in his book, "A Face Illumined." His collegiate life was passed at Williams College, with a view to preparation for the gospel ministry, and after a year at Auburn Theological Seminary, in 1862, he responded to the government's urgent call and accepted the chaplainey of the Second New York, or Harris Light Cavalry. After two years' service in the field, Mr. Roe was appointed by President Lin- coln one of the chaplains of the Fortress Monroe hospitals. Just before entering upon the performance of his duties at that point he participated as a vol- nnteer in the celebrated raid in the spring of 1864, in which Col. Dahlgren was killed, and which had as its objeet the release of the Union prisoners at Richmond. Several times on this occasion he aeted as aid, and was the first one sent to Washington after the raid, where he had an extended personal inter- view with President Lincoln. While at Fortress Monroe, Mr. Roe was largely instrumental in cansing

CORNWALL.

the erection of the chapel for Christian worship at that place, and of the library adjoining. He had charge of the hospital farm at that point, and from a small beginning increased its size to forty acres, grow- ing all varieties of vegetables, and supplying the hos- pitals with many choice delicacies. At the close of the war he accepted a call from the Presbyterian Church at Highland Falls, N. Y., to become its pas- tor, and was soon engaged with the people in an effort to ereet a new church edifice. His desire to aid in this work first led him to enter the lecture-field, where his lectures on topics connected with the war attracted considerable attention.

Up to the time of the burning of Chicago, Mr. Roe had never formed the definite purpose of writing a book, but the scenes of that awful event powerfully impressed him, and while the ruins were still smoking he spent several days among them. Returning home he commenced " Barriers Burned Away," and worked for a year on the story in his hours of leisure. After six or eight chapters were written they were submitted to the editors of the New York Evangelist, and at their request were left for publication. The story contin- ued to grow, the writer often hardly keeping in ad- vance of the paper, until fifty-two chapters were published. Long before its completion there was a demand for the publication of the story as a whole, and it was issued about the first of December, 1872, by Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., of New York, who have published all of Mr. Roe's works. Its success was immediate, and successive editions were quickly called for. Mr. Roe's next work, "What Can She Do?" was of a very different kind, and was also widely read. Finding his health becoming impaired by the continued duties of the pastorate and of authorship, Mr. Roe was finally led to query whether the latter was not his true vocation, and to consider whether he could not exert a wider influence as a writer than as a speaker. Of this he made his next book-" Open- ing a Chestnut Burr"-a test, and constructed a quiet, Christian story. It proved the most popular of his works, and having decided to adopt a literary life, he removed, in the spring of 1874, to Cornwall-on-the- Hudson, near his early home, where he has since con- tinued to reside. Here, in a pleasant home, amid the most beautiful natural scenery, he wrote his later works,-" Near to Nature's Heart," "From Jest to Earnest," " A Knight of the Nineteenth Century," " A Face Illumined," "Success with Small Fruits," " Play and Profit in My Garden," and "A Day of Fate." He is now engaged on a novel entitled "With- out a Home."

In contrast to the usnal experience of popular authors, Mr. Roe's works have successively sold more largely than their predecessors. The six novels writ- ten after " Barriers Burned Away" were published in the autumn of each succeeding year after 1872, and of the seven novels about 175,000 were sold in eight years. The sale of all his works in this country

reaches about 250,000 copies. All of his novels have been printed in England, and are now being translated into German. His last work, " A Day of Fate," was published in the fall of 1880, and has already, within a few months, attained a sale of 27,000 copies. The first edition of his new work will comprise 25,000 volumes.

Aside from his reputation as an anthor, Mr. Roe is widely known as an horticulturist and cultivator of choice varieties of small fruits. Feeling the need of out- of-door exercise and mental relaxation, he at first un- dertook fruit cultivation as a pastime and for his own amusement. But gradually he became interested in the work, experimented with rare and choice varieties, un- til to-day he is recognized as one of the leading horti- culturists of the United States. He has acres of all varieties of fruits, and makes large shipments of plants to all parts of the country. The demand for his plants is immense, and his spring catalogue of fruits for 1881 comprises twenty-four printed pages. He employs a large number of men, and leads, in his dual capacity of author and fruit cultivator, a busy and industrious life. His published works on horticul- tural subjects, above referred to, have met with ready appreciation by the public and attained a large sale.

Mr. Roe was married on Nov. 24, 1863, to Miss Anna P., daughter of Dr. David Sands, of New York, late of A. B. & D. Sands, druggists of that city, and has five children living, namely : Paulina Sands, Martha Ferris, Elting P., Sarah Theresa, and Lindley Murray. Edward P. Roe, Jr., died in infancy.

Mr. Roe is recognized as one of the leading and most enterprising citizens of Cornwall, and is actively interested in every good work.

WILLIAM S. BROWN.

William S. Brown was born in the town of Corn- wall, on Aug. 3, 1809. His parents were John and Hannah (Cronk) Brown, the former of whom was also born in the town, and engaged in farming near the residence of David Cromwell. The father of John emigrated from England prior to the Revolutionary war, and located in Cornwall. Among the other children were William, Thomas Nathaniel, Frank, Amelia, who married Martin Hallock, of Monroe; and Ann, who married Edward Coffee, of Cornwall. The children of John and Hannah C. Brown were sixteen in number, of whom ten reached mature years, namely : Ann (wife of E. B. St. John, of Corn- wall), William S., Henry, Edward, John, Hedges, James, Elliot, Louisa (who married John Requa, of New York), and Esther (who married Baldwin Fox, of Brooklyn).

The early educational opportunities of Mr. Brown were limited to six months' schooling, three by an old Quaker, Andrew Sutherland, and three by an English gentleman in Canterbury. At the age of fifteen years he commenced to learn the trade of

dressing deer-hides for buckskin with John Golow, of Vail's Gate, in the town of New Windsor, then known as Tooker's Gate, where he remained fonr years. He then removed to New York, and worked

in the employ of the Dry-Dock Company, at the head of Avenue D, for two years. The next six or seven years was spent as a carter in New York City, at the end of which time he engaged in lime-burning for Harvey Raymond & Co., of Brooklyn. He re- moved from there to Rockland, Me., where he en- gaged in the manufacture of lime for fourteen years. His health then failing him, he returned to New York and went into the brokerage and commission business, where he continued about seven years. On April 2, 1857, he purchased 86 of the 100 acres of land that he now occupies in Cornwall, of Rev. Jonathan Silliman, and took up his residence in that town, where he has engaged in farming operations until the present time, making a specialty of fatten- ing and dealing in live-stock. He has taken an active interest in local affairs, and is recognized as one of the substantial, enterprising, and public- spirited citizens of the town. He was elected super- visor of Cornwall in 1865, and has filled other town offices with credit.

Mr. Brown was married on March 20, 1830, to Martha, daughter of John and Ann Rose, of Flat- bush, L. I. She was born April 10, 1807, and died May 23, 1876. The children have been Louisa Ann, who died in childhood; George Ogden, died Aug. 20,

1856; John Ross, engaged in the commission busi- ness in New York; Hannah M., wife of Alphea Phillips, of Blooming-Grove; Charles G., who died in the spring of 1881; Hezekiah P., a commission merchant in New York City ; and Harriet F., wife of Robert S. Talbot, of Blooming-Grove.

JOHN ORR.

John Orr was born in County Armagh, Ireland, on Dec. 31, 1820, and was a son of David and Elizabeth (Stewart) Orr, the former being a successful miller in the city of Armagh. His grandparents were John and Susan (Orr) Orr, and his great-grandfather was Robert, who was born in Scotland and removed to the north of Ireland about the year 1700. The former was a miller by trade, and the latter a wheelwright. The children of David and Elizabeth S. Orr were David, who died in childhood ; John ; Jane Ann, who married Joseph S. Pruden, of New York City ; Susan,

who married George G. Sims, of Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Elizabeth S. Orr died in 1822, and David Orr married, for a second wife, Jane Stewart, a cousin of his first wife. Of this union were born William; Mary Elizabeth, who married John J. Van Duzer, of Cornwall ; and Sarah, who married Jesse B. Birdsall, of Newburgh. David Orr died in 1843, aged about fifty-two, and his wife, Jane Stewart, in the spring of 1881, in the town of Monroe, Orange Co., where she

was residing with her daughter, Mrs. Van Duzer. Her remains were interred in Woodlawn Cemetery, in the lot of her son William.

John Orr received a common-school education in his native country, and afterwards learned the trade On Feb. 11, 1847, Mr. Orr came to this country, having decided to make his home in the New World, where several sisters and a brother had preceded him. He resided for one year with his brother John, at Cornwall, and attended school at the excellent insti- tution of Rev. Alfred C. Roe, of that place. During the same year he worked in the mill of Sylvanus Howell, in Shawangunk village, Ulster Co., for two months, performing his work to the full satisfaction of his employer. The next three years were spent in learning the miller's trade with his brother John, at Mountainville. In 1851 he went to Haverstraw, N. Y., where he operated a mill as first miller for the very remunerative stipend of eleven dollars a month and of a miller with his father. In 1842 he came to America and first located in New Windsor, where he worked in Morton's mill, at Vail's Gate, for a short time. He then removed to Shawangunk, U'Ister Co., working in James Mitchell's mill for one year and a half, and then in the Walden mills, Montgomery, for one year. In October, 1844, he married Mary, daugh- ter of Robert and Mary (Cooper) Fulton, of New Windsor, and on April 1, 1845, took up his residence in Cornwall, going into partnership with Robert E. Ring, at the Townsend mill. . After three years he purchased his present mill at Mountainville, of Samuel Ketcham, and ran that for seven years. He then leased the old Townsend mill for five years, and his board. After one year he filled a similar position operated both mills for three years. At the end of that time he surrendered the balance of his lease of the Townsend mill to his brother William. In 1860 he formed a partnership with the latter and Joseph S. Pruden, and operated the Mountainville mill under the firm-name of John Orr & Co. Shortly after the firm purchased the Townsend cotton-factory property and grist-mill, and operated that under the name of William Orr & Co. This arrangement continued until 1865, when Joseph S. Pruden withdrew from the firm, which was changed to J. & W. Orr. In 1866 the latter erected the "Cornwall Flouring-Mills," at a cost of about $30,000, on the site of the Townsend mill, and continued business there until 1877, when John Orr disposed of his interest to John Mitchell, and resumed the operation of his Mountainville mill, which he repurchased in 1875, and where he contin- ues at the present time.

Mr. Orr is recognized as one of the influential citizens of Cornwall, and through a long business career has earned the reputation of an upright and honorable man. Besides his mill property at Moun- tainville, he owns the Samuel Ketcham residence and farm at that place, the Woodbury factory in the town of Monroe, and other real estate. He is popular in the town, and held the office of supervisor in 1868 and 1869. He has taken a deep interest in the local development of Mountainville, and lent liberal sup- port to the progressive and elevating movements of his day. He is a member of the Bethlehem Presby- terian Church. Eight children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Orr, of whom five survive, namely: Susan A., wife of Lewis A. Van Cleft, Woodbury ; Addie ; Margaret, wife of D. E. Sutherland, of Cornwall ; Emma; and Jessie.

WILLIAM ORR.

William Orr was born in the city and county of Armagh, Ireland, Dec. 23, 1830, where his father was

engaged in successful business as a miller. His an- cestry is more particularly referred to in the bio- graphieal sketch of his older brother, John Orr, in this work.

in the mill of James R. Dickson, of Newburgh, at sixteen dollars a month. He remained there nearly a year, and then worked in the employ of his brother John, at Mountainville, from 1853 to 1855. In the latter year he operated the Mountainville mill for his brother at a salary of five hundred dollars. The year following he had a quarter interest in the profits of the mill, his partners being John Orr and Thomas Fulton. The third year he was an equal partner with his brother in conducting the mill. In the years 1858 and 1859, Mr. Orr operated the old Townsend mill on his own account, meeting with great success. In 1860 he became one of the firm of John Orr & Co., con- sisting of John Orr, Joseph S. Pruden, and himself, and operated the mill at Mountainville. Subsequently the same copartners purchased the Townsend mill property, and ran that, under the firm-name of Wil- liam Orr & Co., until 1865, when Mr. Pruden with- drew, and the firm of J. & W. Orr was formed. In 1866 the latter firm erected the Cornwall Flouring- Mills, on the site of the Townsend mill, at a cost of about thirty thousand dollars. The building, 40 by 80 feet in dimensions, comprises three stories and a basement, and is one of the finest of its kind in the county.

The firm of J. & W. Orr continued to carry on a successful business until 1877, when John Orr dis- posed of his interest to John Mitchell of Meadow Brook Farm, Cornwall, and the firm of William Orr & Co. was organized. The latter continued to run the Cornwall Flouring-Mills until April 1, 1881, when Mr. Mitchell disposed of his interest to William Orr, who is now operating the mill with great success.

Mr. Orr is recognized as one of the most intelligent and enterprising of the business men of Cornwall. By close attention to business and industrious and economical habits he has accumulated a good estste, and earned the respect and esteem of a large circle of friends. In 1867 he purchased the homestead of the late William H. Townsend, near his mill, and soon

after began entertaining summer guests, in common with some of the best families of Cornwall. In 1870 he erected his present handsome and attractive dwel- ling, known as the " Moodna Mansion," on the site of the Townsend residence, and has since continued to entertain each season, in a proper manner, a large number of guests. About 1872 he rebuilt the building known as " Overlook Cottage," near his mansion, for John Mitchell, who occupied it two seasons. Since that time Mr. Orr has used it, in connection with his house, for the accommodation of his guests.

Mr. Orr is a popular member of the Republican party of his town, and was a supervisor in 1880. He was married on Jan. 27, 1857, to Margaret (Young) Elliot, daughter of William Drummond Elliot and Jean Stewart Lamb Elliot, of Glasgow, Scotland. Seven of the eight children are living, viz. : John, engaged in business with his father; William Elliot, entry clerk with Lawson Valentine & Co., of New York; David Lincoln; Maggie; Mary ; Florence ; and Nellie P. Orr.

CHARLES HI. MEAD.

Charles H. Mead was born at Phillipstown, Putnam Co., N. Y., on July 24, 1831. His parents were Jo- seph N. and Phebe (Garrison) Mead, and his ma-

ternal grandfather, Judge Harry Garrison, one of the earliest settlers of Phillipstown, and a representa- tive of a pioneer family on Long Island. Judge Garrison was a prominent citizen of Putnam County for many years, and held several offices of trust and responsibility. He was a gentleman of the olden time, of unblemished reputation, and at one time owned a large number of slaves. He gave them their freedom in 1823, but a number refused to leave, and remained with him through life. His grandfather on his father's side was Abram Mead, and his grand- mother Hannah Mead, whose father, also named Abram, at one time owned all of Cold Spring, N. Y. His great-grandmother on his father's side was Eliza- beth, danghter of Gen. Nicholson, of Revolutionary fame.

Joseph N. Mead was born near Norwich, Conn., the family seat of the Meads. In early manhood he removed to Cold Spring, Putnam Co., and for a great many years owned and ran a first-class sailing- packet for carrying passengers between Albany and New York. Subsequently he sailed from the foundry at Cold Spring to New York, until the destruction of his vessel by fire. Capt. Mead was a man of fine presence, and one of the most popular and highly- respected of the early sailing-masters on the Hudson.

B, S, Ketcham

The Ketcham family is one of the oldest in the town of Cornwall. Long prior to the Revolutionary war Samuel Ketcham, the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, located where John Orr now resides at Mountainville, where he passed his life engaged in the arduous agricultural operations incident to the pioneer development of the country, and where he operated an carly grist-mill. His remains are interred upon the farm. He was a large landholder, owning several miles square in that locality. His descendants through several generations settled around him, and the place was known as Ketchamtown until within a few years, when the opening of the railroad and the establishment of the station and post-office at that point gave it the less dis- tinctive name of Mountainville. Samuel Ketcham had three sons, Samuel, Joseph, and Benjamin, all of whom settled at Ketchamtown. Samuel resided where the late Joseph Sayer lived, Joseph where Sherburn Shaw resides, and Benjamin where the subject of this sketch lives, The latter served as a soldier in the Revolu- tionary war. Of himself and wife, Mary, was born a large family of children, viz. : Abraham, Charles, James, Joseph, Hannah, who married Martin Pempel- ton, and Ann, who became the wife of Daniel C. Car- penter. Abraham lived and died in Sussex County, N. J .; James, in the town of Monroe; and Joseph spent the most of his life in New York City, dying, however, on the homestead farm.

Benjamin Keteham died May 18, 1833, aged eighty years, and his wife on Sept. 5, 1832, aged eighty- two.

Charles Keteham, son of Benjamin, was born on his father's farm, Oct. 26, 1786, and passed his entire life as a farmer on the home place. His wife was Ann Smith,

born April 18, 1786, died Ang. 11, 1851, and the issue of the union were Daniel C., born Nov. 14, 1813, died in 1854; Benjamin S., born Jan. 4, 1819; and Eliza Jane, born July 13, 1823, died April 22, 1864. Charles Ketcham died June 1, 1847.

Benjamin S. Ketcham was born on the homestead of his grandfather, where he now resides, on the date indi- cated above. He has passed his entire life upon the property, with slight exception, and is the third genera- tion of his family who have resided on the spot. His education was derived at the district school of his neigh- borhood. During the year 1836 he elerked in a store at Cornwall. Subsequently he worked the homestead farm on shares ; but after his marriage, in 1846, he farmed it on his own account. The farm comprises two hundred and twenty aeres.
