ATTICA.

MARVIN TRALL, son of Russell and Tirzah Trall, was born in Vernon, Conn., July 26th, 1811. In 1812 be removed with bis parents to what is now Cen- treville, Allegany county, N.Y. The country was then largely a wilderness, inhabited by Indians and wild beasts. For several years afterward cattle were mustly pastured in the woods. It was on an occasion of seeking his father's cows there that he. when twelve years old, and a brother four years younger, became lost, and remained all night in the woods, lying on the ground covered with bark gathered from a fallen tree. The night was dark and accompanied by a thunder shower, and added to this the boys heard approaching them slowly the steps of some beast, which seemed to stop and stand with its head right over them for a time, then walked around them for a considerable time and then moved off. The people were rallied and searched through the night ; their borns were beard by the boys, but too far off for relief. The next day they found their own way out all safe. Marvin Trull commenced the study of law with Dudley C. Bryan at Centre- ville, N. Y., but was afterward a law student for several years in the law offices of Hon. L. C. Peck. at Pike, and Hon. J. B. Skinner, at Wyoming, N. Y. In 1886 he was admitted 10 the bar of the Court of Common Pleas, Cat- taraugus county, and the raine year opened a law office at Randolph, in that county. the first law office ever there, and was a few months after joined with Joseph E. Weeden, as a law partner. at that place. Upon the election of L. C. Peck to Congress he soon after returned to Pike; was ad- mitted to the bar of the Supreme Court and Court of Chancery in January, 1888, and afterward continued the practice of law there for about thirty years, bolding in the meantime various positions of trust and town offices, including those of supervisor and justice of the peace, holding the latter about fourteen years in succession. During the administration of Governor Seward he was appointed master and examiner in chancery for Allegany county, and by reappointment held the office two terms. He was afterward twice appointed town commissioner for Wyoming county, holding the of- fice four years. In 1851 be was elected county judge and surrogate of Wyoming county, bolding the place for four years. For the last twenty- five years he has been largely engaged in the trial of cases referred to bim for trial by the supreme, county and surrogate's courts. He was married in 1886 to Cornelia A. Huntting, at Pike, and by her bad three children, all daughters. one of whom, Elmira A., married Edwin D. Fiske, a graduate of the University of Michigan ; one. Ellen F., married Elbert F. McCall, a merchant, and the other died In infancy. In 1818 be removed to Attica. N. Y., his present place of residence.

BENNINGTON.

COLONEL JOHN B. FOLSOM was born in the town of Middlebury, Wyo- ming county, N. Y .. January 28th, 1811. His father, Ama Folsom, was one of the early pioneers of Wyoming county. He removed from Orange county, Vt., to the town of Warsaw in 1810 He was with General Wayne in his ex- pedition against the Indians In the northwest. He died in 1813. Mrs. Ama Folsom moved to Attica in 1814, when the subject of this biography was only three years old. There they continued to reside till 1829. Mr. Folsom's early life was a bard and bitter struggle against poverty, and he is to-day an illustration of what may be accomplished by perseverance and integrity. He married Miss Clarinda C. Harnden in 1831, and took up his residence at Varysburg, where he remained until 1884. He then moved to Michigan, but failing to realize bis expectations be returned to bis native Wyoming, and organized the little hamlet named from him " Folsomdale." Colonel Fol- som is truly a self-made man. Deprived of a father at an early age, single handed and alone he has fought the battle of life to a successful issue, and to-day he is one of the solid men of the county of Wyoming. Besides being an extensive real estate owner in Wyoming county he owns a large real estate interest at Omaba. Neb., where he spends a portion of his time every

year. He was commissioned colonel in 1840 by Governor W. H. Seward; was appointed brigade-inspector in 1844 by Governor W. C. Bouck, and was again commissioned colonel under the new organization in 1858 by Horatio Seymour.

Colonel Folsom has been a life-long Democrat, and has represented his town as supervisor and justice of the peace for a long term of years.

In the summer of 1878 be made an extended tour through England, Ireland, Scotland, France and Belgium. He visited the birthplace of Robert Burns, also Kirk Alloway, where the poet's family lice buried. He also visited the battle ground of Waterloo and many other places of classic interest. Mr. Folsom bad three children, B. Franklin, Oscar and Mary Augusta, His wife died January 18th, 1878. His son B. Franklin died January 27th, 1878; his daughter, Mary A., February 18th, 1873. He was thus bereft of wife, son and daughter in three brief weeks.

His son Oscar graduated at Rochester University in the class of '59. He at once began the practice of law at Buffalo, N. Y. His success was bril- liant from the beginning. He could always be relied on as a man, as a law- yer and as a friend; and after his death, which occurred July 28d, 1875, the bar of Erie county and the different societies of which he was a member paid him the noblest tribute that could be paid to man. The Hon. Judge Clinton. speaking of him, said he was the soul of honor, that bis wit knew no sting and his bumor was always wholesome. He was kind to all men. His bosom friend and companion, George S. Wardwell, spoke of him as follows:

"I shall not endeavor to analyze his intellectual qualities or speak of his professional acquirements. These are subjects which should be left to a more impartial tongue than mine. It is in the character of a frank. open bearted, generous, sincere, constant and cordial friend that I prefer now to remember him. I cannot forget the brilliancy of his conversation, the keen edge of his wit, the overflowing bumor which nothing could suppress, bis shrewd criticisms of men and things, which surprised and delighted all who beard him and were the most admirable to those who knew him best; but more than all else beside was the gentle and magnanimous heart that beat within bis bosom-Its kindness included everybody. I don't know that be bad an enemy in the world. and if by chance the poignancy of his wit at any time offended, some graceful or kindly remark, more efficient but less con- spicuous than a direct apology, suppressed the mortification or healed the wound. We have lost a brilliant member of our profession, an esteemed and honored member of society, a cordial friend; his family an affectionate husband, a loving father and a noble son."

CASTILE.

The Christian Church, the first formed in the town (1819), was organized by Elder William True, on the basis of the Bible as a "guide in faith and practice, disregarding the doctrines of men," and Christian character as the only test of fellowship.

Elder True was the pastor about twenty years, other ministers officiating as circumstances required.

Aaron Post was elected deacon at the organization, and Aaron Post, jr., succeeded him in that office. The church elected William H. Luther and Richard Smith deacons, and George Green church clerk, and chose Elder Ezra Smith for pastor. The church numbered at that time forty-nine members, who were earnest workers in the cause of Christ.

This church has had the services of the following pastors, in the order given: William True, Ezra Smith, Joseph Weeks, Elisha Ney, W. Skeels, John Ellis, Thomas Garbutt, Samuel Salisbury, J. W. Noble, A. C. Parker, P. R. Sullon, F. R. Wade, D. L. Pendell and Joseph Weeks, above men-

tioned, who is also the present pastor, it being his fourth pastorate.

In 1852 the church numbered about one hundred and thirty members. It has a convenient chapel, in which it has worshiped over forty years. It has had a succession of officers from 1819, and has sustained a pastor all that time, with the exception of a very few years. The present officers are as follows: Trustees-E. P. Phelps, John Pennock and Lewis Finch; deacons-Charles Chittenden and William Post; church clerk, George W. Smith. Several young men who were members of this church are now preaching suc- cessfully in different States. The present number of active members is sixty-eight.

A Sunday-school was organized in the spring of 1843, and it has been kept up to the present. The average attendance is about fifty. There are seven teachers, all members of the church. Almanzer Gaines is superintendent, and E. P. Phelps secretary and treasurer.

W. F. GRAVES, Castile, N. Y., the widely known dealer in musical instru- ments, was born January 14th, 1881. in the town of Eagle, Wyoming county, N. Y., where his father, Ralph Graves, a native of Vermont, settled in 1819. and resided (on the same farm) for about sixty years. The subject of this sketob was reared to hard labor, industry and economy. A few weeks each Fear at the district sobool, and the books of the sobool library, constituted Dearly all the advantages for mental improvement accessible. By the faitb- ful use of these limited means, and a few weeks spent at a private seminary in Arcade in 1849, he fitted himself for school teaching, which avocation be followed for many years, beginning near bome in Eagle. His vacations were passed at Arcade Seminary, or in farm labor or book selling. In 1854 he received an appointment to the State normal school in Albany, where, besides attending the school, be spent some hours each day at work in a piano factory.

He was principal of the following union sobonie: Sandusky, Cattaraugus county. 1852 ; Pike, 1868: Centerville, 1864 ; Portageville, 1866; A ttica, 1866-59; Arcade, 1880-62. His vacations and leisure bours were occupied in selling pianos and organs, or at work on farms, which he bought at the commence- ment of the civil war and managed and sold at great profit. Soon after disposing of these be began to devote his whole time and attention to the music trade, in which be has been very successful; for, besides doing a very extensive trade in western New York, be sends large numbers of instru- ments to almost every State in the Union. His extensive warerooms in Castile are filled with the.choicest instruments of the most celebrated makers, and are continually thronged by customers from the surrounding country. The great manufacturers often visit the rooms of Mr. Graves to solicit bis contracts for large numbers of instruments. Everybody knows bis slightest word to be as good as a bond. Commercial integrity and the highest degree of honor are the corner stones of his successful business ca- reer. Musicians find in him a kind and accommodating friend. Honest people find in him a Jenient creditor. The dishonest and indolent be boldly rebukes in severe terms, telling them that industry, economy and integrity can never come to want. Still in the prime of life. with almost faultlees physical strength and health, he seems destined to accomplish all be under- takes.

Jennie Colton Graves, wife of W. F. Graves and only daughter of Addison Colton, Esq., of Arcade, N. Y., was born in Vergennes, Vt., April 22nd, 1888, and removed to Arcade in 1885, where she was reared with the best oppor- tunities for schooling and the highest culture in music. She was married to Mr. Graves July 7th, 1858. Although always of frail health and strength, she has acted a very important part in assisting to build the eminent for- tune of her husband.

JOHN B. HALSTED was born in the town of Pittston, Luserne county, Pa., November 7th, 1796. In 1816. when but eighteen years of age, he left his native State for western New York, where he has ever since resided. He came first to Livonia, then Ontario, now Livingston county, and remained there some ten years. In 1:06 be took a clerksbip in the store of Walter Howard, of Perry. In 1828 Mr. Howard transferred his business and bis clerk along with it to Castille. After clerking a short time in the latter place Mr. Halsted set up in business on his own account, and was to pros- perous that he was soon able to take to himself a wife, being married Octo- ber #8th, 1882, to Miss Eunice Talcott, of the town of Vernon. Tolland county, Conn. Matrimony was then, as now, often spoken of as having more or less of the lottery in it. and Mr. Halstead drew a prise. He continued in business in Castile some thirty years. He represented the people of the 80th senatorial district in the State Legislature in the years 1856-59. In 1802 be was appointed revenue collector of the 20th district in this State, which of- fice be held till 1866. For the last fourteen years his principal business has been Joaning money, as agent for corporations and individuals, on bond mortgages. In 1864 be left Castile and located in Batavia, where he still lives. Mr. H., now among the eighties, has always held his life by what

might with propriety be called an invalid's title, and yet by constant abetem- iousness be bas outlasted many among his old-time associates, who were really robust, while he was apparently only a band's breadth from the grave.

BLI WRIGHT, son of John and Lovicy Wright, was born at Castile, in 1886. and in 1872 was married to Phebe Butts, of Stamford, Dutobees county, N. Y.

ing Hyde & Page. He remained at Chattanooga until May, 1883, when, the population of the city having decreased so rapidly that all businees became prostrated, and doancial ruin and despondenoy seized upon all, be concluded to abandon an extensive but not lucrative practice. He therefore took up bis Line of marob for the far west, and arrived at Laramie city, Wyoming Terri- tory, the terminus of the Union Pacido Railroad. Finding no immediate busi- ness in the way of his profession be engaged in various pursuits through the summer until he was taken dangerously ill with the mountain fever, brought on by fatigue and exposure. After his recovery be opened an office at Lara- mie, and did an active business in the line of conveyancing. About this time the Legislature of Dakota passed an sot creating a new county, and appoint- ing temporarily a set of officers, among whom Mr. Page was appointed pro- bate judge. Soon after be was appointed Mayor of Laramie,and his adminis- tration proved a success. It was " the right man in the right place." He had come severe cacounters with roughs sod desperadoes that then infested the city. His life was often in danger. but by bis indomitable firmness be succeeded in maintaining law and order. In June, 1883, be resigned bis of- dos as Mayor, and started out to try his fortunes in the new Eldorado. "Sweet Water Mining Camp." But there disaster overtook him, and all of bis bard earned accumulations were swept away. Nothing daunted, bow- ever, but with a determined will, be resolved to win. He therefore procured two horses, blankets, provisions and "outfit," as the miners may, and on January Ist, 1871, be joined a small pack train often and startnd for Montana. His taste for romance and adventure was amply satisded during this trip. On one occasion be came near being captured by a band of tresoberous Bloux. On another the party became lost, and for four days wandered through the mountain fastnesses in search of the trail. But after two months of hardship and danger they arrived at Montana. Mr. Pago soon established himself in business, and on the 17th of May, 1872, was appointed United States district attorney of Montana, which office be Alled with marked abu- ity for four years. He was reappointed, apd continned in the omce until his death. He possesend an extensive mining interest, and it was while away attending to a suit involving that interest that be met an untimely death. On his return from Boseman, in company with an attorney named Sanders, they attempted to cross the Madison river, then swollen by the mountain torrent ; the wagon was overturned, and himself and companion were at the mercy of the flood. Mr. Sanders escaped, but Mr. Page was drowned. Thus ended the career of one who by todomitable energy and porte- verance bad mounted step by step to fame and fortune.
