A life-long Democrat in politics, but never in any sense an extremist or partisan, he was elected by a majority of sixty-two, in a county strongly, over- whelmingly Republican, to the Assembly of 1874. In local politics he has often been chosen to places of trust and responsibility.

College. In January last a medical board for the examination of pension claimants was created at Glens Falls by order of the commissioner of pensions, The board consists of Drs. A. W. Holden, Godfrey R. Martine and Buel G. Streeter, the first named being president, the second secretary, and the third treasurer. The weekly examinations prove the confidence reposed in their judgment.
Much of Dr. Holden's time during the past forty years, except when occu- pied by professional and other cares and duties, has been devoted to literary pursuits. His researches and labors in the domain of local history have been fruitful in rescuing from oblivion many detached facts and incidents of the past that in another generation would have been irremediably lost. His chief and lasting monument, which will bear his name down to posterity, is a work en- titled, A History of the Town of Queensbury, N. Y. This was brought out in 1874 in Munsell's superior typography and style. It is an octavo volume of upwards of 500 pages, profusely illustrated, and covers an important era and section of country in relation to American history. In recognition of his liter- ary abilities he has received, in addition to the honorary degree of master of arts already mentioned, appointments as corresponding member of the Oneida County Historical Society, the New York, Wisconsin and Rhode Island His- torical Societies, and the New York and New England Genealogical and Biog- raphical Societies.
Dr. Holden has been a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal Church since 1841, since when he has held various positions in its vestry most of the time, from warden to collector. Besides being a member of the vestry he at present holds a commission as lay-reader from the bishop of the diocese. He and his family are noted for their zeal and efficiency, and readiness to enter in- to and co-operate in every good work tending to advance the interests of the church, and the service of his Lord and Master.
