DAVID J. PARK

was born in 1798, at what is now Bloomsburg, N. Y. In early youth his parents moved to Wyalusing, Pa., and a few years later farther up the Susquehanna to Wysox, in Bradford County, where he lived until he was twenty-two years of age. He then moved with his parents to what is now the town of Erin, in Chemung County. They found the country densely

timbered, but they commenced, like other pioneers, to erect a home. Four years later his father and mother both died within a week of each other. He was thus left to support a family of sisters in a " howling wilderness," with no neighbor nearer than four miles. Hardship and privations stared him in the face, but he resolved to remain. With unflagging energy he labored until fifty acres were paid for ; by frugality and industry he added acre to acre until he became an extent- sive land-owner.

In 1824 he married Miss Susan E. Park, by whom he had eleven children,-three sons and eight daughters,-all of whom are living near the old homestead, with the exception of the youngest daughter, who is deceased. Even under the disad- vantageous surroundings of his life in the woods, he determined to give his children the advantage of an education. Eight of the ten now living have been school-teachers. His oldest son remembers being often carried on his father's back part of the long way to school.

In politics lie was a Jacksonian Democrat ; but his highest ambition was to do his part well in his own sphere, and, with few exceptions, he declined all public honors and emoluments. In religious faith he was a Presbyterian. He was a man of integrity and of generous impulses. He died at the age of seventy-three, on the farm where he had lived more than half a century. His wife survives him at the present time (1878), with her mental powers still strong, the honored grandmother of fourteen children.

A. H. Park, oldest son of David Park, is a nun of promi- nence in the town ; was elected town clerk at the early age of twenty-one ; since which time he has held the important posi- tions of town superintendent of public schools and supervisor ; was also postmaster of State Road Post-office for fifteen years. The station at Park, on the Utica, Ithaca and Elmira Railroad, where he now resides, was named in his honor. Besides being a charter member of Southern Light Lodge of F. A. M., he has filled other honorable stations in both church and State.

James J., the second son, has been twice supervisor of the town, and has held various other positions of honor and trust.

Byron T., the youngest son, has attained notoriety in the political world by his opposition to secret societies, having been one of the presidential electors on the anti-Masonic ticket at the last election. The sons are all men of character and integrity.

MR. ORANGE F. BOOTIL.

MRS. LUCY BOOTH.

ORANGE F. BOOTH.

Among the representative and successful families of Candor to-day are the descendants of the gentleman whose name appcars at the head of this sketch. He emigrated from old Connecticut, where his forefathers were among the early settlers, to this county in 1802, and settled upon the farm (now in the possession of his son, E. A. Booth) which was deeded to him by Timothy Pitcairn, one of the original patent holders, Aug. 29, 1794, when our subject was but twelve years of age. He was born at Berlin (now New Britain), Conn., March 5, 1782, being the second son of Joseph and Elizabeth Booth. He was during his life iden- tified with the agricultural interests of the town ; also was in the lumber business, having built a saw-mill in Candor as early as 1829. He was joined in marriage, Oct. 8, 1806, to Lucy, daughter of Abel and Mary Hart, she being born at Stockbridge, Berkshire Co., Mass., July 11, 1788. Her father emigrated in 1793 to Union, Broome Co., N. Y .; but in 1798 removed to the town of Candor, Tioga Co. This lady is still living, being over ninety years of age, having the constant attention and faithful care of a devoted son. On account of her longevity of life we propose to give a short genealogy of her ancestors, she being of the seventh generation of Harts in this country. Deacon Stephen Hart, the founder of the family in the New World, was born about 1605, at Braintree, Essex Co., England, and came to Cambridge, Mass., about 1632. He removed to Hartford, Conn., in 1635, and went to Farmington, in the same State, about 1640. He represented the town of Farmington in the General Court of Connecticut from 1647 to 1660. Hc dicd in March, 1682 or 1683. His family consisted of six children. Of John, his eldest son, we have no authentic ac- count in regard to his birth. He became a frecman of Connec- ticut, May, 1654. He was one of the first settlers of Tunxis, and in 1666 his home was set on fire by the Indians, and all his family, with the exception of his son John, who was ab- sent at the time, perished in the flames. Therefore John was thus providentially saved to be the progenitor of a numerous posterity. He was born at Farmington, in about 1655. In May, 1695, he was confirmed by the General Court ensign of the Farmington train-band, and in October, 1703, was com-

missioned lieutenant, and subsequently promoted captain He was a deputy from Farmington to the General Court for four years, and in May, 1705, was appointed one of the audit- ors of the colony. He died Nov. 11, 1714. His family con- sisted of seven children. Isaac, the second son of Captain John, was born in Farmington, in 1686, and was married Nov. 24, 1721, to Elizabeth Whaples. He headed a petition to the General Assembly in 1754, which caused the incorpo- ration of the town (now city) of New Britain, Conn. He dicd Jan. 27, 1770. He had seven children. Ebenezer, his eldest son, was born at Kensington, Conn., Nov. 27, 1722, and died Nov. 17, 1753, leaving four children. Abel, his eldest son, was born at Kensington, Conn., Feb. 22, 1747, and was married to Mary, daughter of Caleb Galpin, Sept. 13, 1769, she being born Oct. 21, 1753. About 1774 he removed to Stockbridge, Mass., and from there to Candor. He died in 1802; she lived until 1845. These two last were the father and mother of our subject, and were the original pioneers and settlers of the Hart family in Tioga County.

Orange F. by his marriage became the father of nine chil- dren, viz. : Horace; Dennis, born March 13, 1808; Lorin ; Abel II. ; Mary S., widow of Romanta Woodford, and born July 29, 1814; Eliza A., widow of Norman L. Carpenter, born Ang. 6, 1818; Orange; Edwin A .; and Lucy C., wife of Henry Gilbert, of Elmira, born Oct. 20, 1823. They arc all residents of Candor, except the latter; and the death of Lorin, June 22, 1876, was the first among the children, the oldest being then past sixty-nine, and the youngest being fifty-three years of age. In politics, he was a strong believer in the doctrines of Democracy, and was a true upholder of that party's principles. He represented the town as its supervisor a number of times, and was the first assessor the town ever had, holding that office in 1811; was justice of the peace, and held other minor offices. He was one of the largest landholders, owning at one time over twelve hundred aeres in the town limits. Was a stanch member of the Farmington Congregational Society. Hc was called to his last resting-place Jan. 18, 1860, his loss being mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances

EDWIN A. BOOTH.

The man to whom Candor is indebted in a great measure for her prosperity and advancement in improvements of late years, who though accumulating moneys abroad has invested at home to help build up his birthplace, is the subject of this sketch. He was to the manor born, having first seen tlie light of day Jan. 25, 1821, being the eighth child and youngest of six sons of Orange F. and Lucy Booth. His father's circumstances permitted him to give his son the benefits of only a common-school education, and in his childhood, his father being engaged in the lumber trade, it lias been often remarked in a jesting manner to Edwin that he had spent all his life in a saw-mill. He was married March 22, 1849, to Mary H., daughter of Harvey and Mary Potter, of Candor, where she was born Aug. 12, 1830. They have but one child, Mary A., born March 16, 1865. Upon arriving at the age of manhood he became connected with his father in the lumber business. In com- pany with his brother Lorin and his brother-in-law, Norman L. Carpenter, they purchased, Sept. 18, 1846, a large body of timber located in the town of Spencer, containing 2500 acres, known as the Ryer's tract. This they felled and con- verted into lumber ; and subsequently, with six others, pur- chased 1500 acres in Allegany Co., N. Y. He followed saw-milling till 1865, when he sold out his interest in the business to his brother Lorin. Previous to this the two brothers, witlı Charles L. Potter, formed a copartnership, and purchased for a very low price, Dec. 26, 1856, 5000 acres of timber-land in Northern Michigan, about forty miles west of East Saginaw ; this they held unimproved till lately; they have at present 1100 acres left, and have

made sales aggregating about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Thus we see these business men with judicious foresight plant their small fortunes in the wilds of a new country, and by this act they and their heirs will enjoy a comfortable competency for years to come. Mr. Booth is at present president of the First National Bank of Candor, which office he has held since May, 1865 ; he is also the largest stockholder. He has since 1861 been connected more or less in the mercantile business at Owego and Candor, and has been for the last four years senior member of the firm of Booth & Williams, dealers in general merchandise at Candor. He still holds to the political creed instilled into him by his father, and is very popular among men of both parties. He has represented his fellow-townsmen in the Board of Supervisors a number of terms, serving in that capacity in the years 1862, '65, '66, '68, and '69. Himself and wife are both members of the Farmington Congregational Society. Thus we read the sketch of the life of one of nature's noblemen, who though no lionored title is prefixed to his name is a true representative of what American wisdom, culture, and perseverance can do. One on whom no stain of dishonor is attached in his dealing with his fellow-men. One whom in his brief career has gathered around him a large circle of warm and personal friends.

He resides on the old Booth homestead, striving to make his mother's declining years pass in pleasure ; while as she draws near to the vale of rest she looks forth with happiness on her offspring settled comfortably around her, and respected and honored by their fellow-citizens.

HENRY FARR.

One of the pioneer citizens of the town, as well as one of the oldest residents of Chemung County, was Henry Farr, the subject of this sketch.

His parents, Richard and Jane (Quinn) Farr, emigrated from England to the parish of Glenavey, county of Antrim, Ireland, where Henry was born, in 1792, being next to the youngest in a family of five brothers and two sisters. His parents died when he was but five years old. He resided in the place of his nativity until he was twenty-eight years of age, having previously married (Feb. 14, 1815) and become the father of two children. In the year 1822 he turned his face towards America ; he landed at Montreal, Canada, but immediately went to Moore, Clinton Co., N. Y., from whence, after a residenee of four years, he eame to Chemung County. He came first to Elmira, but re- mained only a few months, removing to the town of Big Flats, where he purchased land and commenced building a home for himself in the wilderness. He continued to reside there until the year 1871, when he ceased his labor and re- moved to the village of Horseheads, purchasing a residence on the corner of Mill and Pine Streets. There he spent the remainder of his days, enjoying the competenee earned by a half-century of toil, and there he passed away from earth, Feb. 7, 1877, at the ripe old age of eighty-five.

Mr. Farr was the father of six sons and five daughters, viz. : John, born Jan. 12, 1816, now residing at Montrose, Mo .; Valentine, born May 15, 1818; Elizabeth Jane, born April 15, 1823, married D. F. Brown, and died Dec. 12, 1865 ; Esther, born March 5, 1826, married A. R. Dupuy,

and now living at Bath, N. Y .; Sarahette, born Aug. 17, 1828, died May 3, 1855; William Henry, born Jan. 28, 1831; James E., born April 15, 1833 ; George W., born Oet. 2, 1836, died April 25, 1856; Dayton S., born Dec. 18, 1839, died March 23, 1841; Mary D., born Oet. 23, 1845, married, Nov. 29, 1877, Mr. F. H. Fisk, a merchant of Meadville, Pa. Valentine, William, and James are residents of Big Flats.

Mrs. Jane Farr was the daughter of Valentine and Betsey McCann. She was born June 15, 1798, in Kallade parish, county Antrim, Ireland. Her mother, Betsey Suffern, was of Seoteh deseent, but her father was a native of Antrin. In 1815 she married Henry Farr, and was his companion for sixty-two years. On the fiftieth anniversary of their inarriage, in 1865, they celebrated their " golden wedding," and in 1875, again their children, relatives, and friends met to commemorate the sixtieth wedding anniversary of this venerable couple, on which occasion their pastor, Rev. C. C. Carr, on behalf of the three sons present, made a pres- entation of an elegant gold-mounted ebony eane to Mr. Farr,-" a staff to aid him in his declining years." Two years later, Mr. Farr passed from the River of Life into the Ocean of Eternity. IIe left a wife, four sons, and two daughters to mourn his loss. He was long an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and his life was blameless.

His widow still survives (1878), hale and hearty for one of her years,-another example of the many of the hardi- ness and longevity of the north of Ireland race.

REV. CHARLES L. BACON.

Rev. Charles L. Bacon, A.M., son of James and Eunice Bacon, was born Jan. 12, 1813, in the town of Spafford, Onondaga Co., N. Y. He spent his early life in his native town, and in the towns of Jerusalem, Yates Co., and Shelby, Orleans Co.

In early life he resolved on pursuing a course of study preparatory to professional life. Accordingly, he pursued studies preparatory to college in the Academies of Bethany and Middlebury, Genesee Co.

In June, 1834, he entered Madison University, at Hamilton, N. Y., and graduated with honor from that institution in August, 1838. He immediately took up his residence in the State of Michigan, resolving to identify himself with the moral and religious enterprises of that then young and growing State.

He was ordained as a minister of the Baptist Church, Feb. 13, 1840. During seven years he labored earnestly and successfully, enduring the hardships and submitting to sacrifices incident to his calling in a new country. He served the churches of Medina, Lenawee Co., and Brooklyn, Jackson Co., as pastor, but extended his labors widely in the newly settled country circumjacent, where lie is re- membered as an able minister of the gospel. His health failing, in 1845 he returned to his native State, and settled in Mount Morris, in Livingston County.

In 1850 he moved to Trumansburg, Tompkins Co., where he remained fifteen years. In 1865 he moved to Reading, Schuyler Co., where (including about two years at Townsend) he remained about six years. In 1870 he settled at Big Flats, Che- mung Co., where he still resides. Thus for forty years he has been an earnest and successful minister of the gospel, having baptized over five hundred persons, the fruit of his own labors; preached six hundred funeral sermons, and married about five hundred couples. When the life of the nation was menaced by traitors he took a decided stand for the Union, and labored day and night to create a public sentiment to sustain the government, and fill the decimated ranks of our army. He has also been a faithful advocate of the temperance reform, and all other causes calculated to elevate his fellow-men.

He has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Mary L. Baker,. of Hamilton, N. Y. His present wife was Mrs. Sarah S. Minier, widow of the late Henry Minier, Esq., of Big Flats; both ladies of intelligence and refinement, and every way qualified to be the soul and centre of a truly Christian home. Blest with a competence, they are spending the evening of life in "otium cum dignitate," but ever ready to perform those kindly offices which tend to promote the happiness and well-being of those around them.
