Mr. Prescott has been a staunch Republican since the organization of that party. He has always taken an active interest in political affairs, and has frequently been called to positions of trust and responsibility. He was adjutant of the 101st Regt. N. Y. State Militia for a time, was alderman from the Fifth ward of Rome one term, member and secretary of the Board of Education three years, and in 1878 repre- sented this district in the assembly, where he was chairman of the committee on railroads. In the fall of 1878 and again in 1880 he was elected to Congress by hand- some majorities, which attested his popularity throughout this congressional district. In the 46th Congress, during his second term, he was chairman of the celebrated committee on apportionment and brought in the bill for reapportioning the member- ship of the various States. This was the leading feature of that session, and the part Mr. Prescott bore in the long and bitter fight which ensued redounds to his lasting credit. So far as New York State was concerned his bill was passed without material change. He drew up and secured the passage in the 45th Congress of a bill authorizing the appropriation of $5,000 for the construction of the Oriskany monument in honor of General Herkimer. Among the various important com- mittees of which he was a member was the committee on the improvement of the Mississippi River, and in this connection he was one of five commissioners appointed by Congress to inspect and report upon the condition of the levees along that stream below St. Louis. In both Congresses he had charge of several measures affecting his county, all of which became laws. Ilis legislative career, both as assemblyman and as representative, was characterized by untiring faithfulness to public trust and by continued watchfulness over the interests of his constituents. As a citizen he has always encouraged every project which promised benefit to the community.
June 21, 1867, Mr. Prescott was married to Miss Eliza F. Cady, a native of Madi- son county, and a daughter of Daniel Cady, of Yonkers, N. Y., but formerly of Rome. They have four children: G. Linnemann, a graduate of the Rome Academy and now a resident of Rome; Elizabeth C. (Mrs. Clifton B. White), of Brooklyn, N. Y. ; and Mabelle T. and Ruth Andrea, at home.
W. J. P. KINGSLEY, M.D.
WILLEY J. P. KINGSLEY, M. D., mayor of the city of Rome, N. Y., a son of Obediah and Lovina (Tucker) Kingsley, and was born on a farm in Frankfort, Herkimer county, four miles east of Utica, on July 9, 1824. His grandfather, Jedediah Kings-

ley, came from Rhode Island to Utica when that city contained but one frame build- ing; he soon moved to Herkimer county and died there.
Dr. Kingsley obtamed his education by his own efforts. Reared on a farm amid the deprivations of the pioneer life of those early days his advantages at district schools were necessarily limited, but by continued exertion he was enabled to attend Whitestown Seminary, from which he was graduated. He read medicine with Drs. Charles B. Coventry and D. G. Thomas, of Utica, and took a two years' course at the Geneva Medical College. In March, 1855, he was graduated with the degree of M. D. from the New York Medical College and the same year began the practice of his profession in Utica. In the spring of 1856 he came to Rome, where he has ever since resided. For many years he was engaged in a large general surgical practice, having at one time a more extensive professional business than any other physician in the city. Finally cancer cases presented themselves in such constantly increasing numbers that he was obliged to devote most of his time to their treatment, and eventually abandoned his family practice altogether. He now confines his attention ^ exclusively to the treatment of cancer, chronic diseases, and to surgery, having spe- cially equipped hospitals for the purpose. He has treated over 40.000 cancer cases, and enjoys almost a world wide reputation for skill and success.
Dr. Kingsley has been president of the Farmers' National Bank since its organiza- tion, and was president of its predecessor, the Bank of Rome, which was incorporated as a State bank in 1865 Hle was one of the incorporators of the Central New York . Institution for Deaf Mutes in Rome in 1875 and served as its vice-president until 1895, when he was elected president. He was president of the old Rome Iron Works and is now vice-president of the Rome Brass and Copper Company, the Rome Cem- etery Association, and the Jervis Literary Association. Ile was one of the directors of the locomotive works, and is heavily interested in many other business enterprises. He is the largest individual tax payer in the city. In charitable and benevolent move- ments he is always a prominent factor, and no project promising benefit to the com- munity fails to receive his substantial aid and encouragement. Publie spirited, en- terprising, liberal, and kind hearted, he is widely respected as a citizen as well as a successful physician. The Y. M. C. A., the City Hospital, and numerous other similar objects, as well as nearly every important commercial or manufacturing enterprise, have felt the impulse of his aid and benevolence. In politics he has always been a staunch Republican, but has never sought office or public preferment. At the charter election in March, 1895, he was elected mayor of the city of Rome, though a Democratic stronghold, by a handsome majority, and his service in that capacity has been characterized by fidelity, impartiality, and general satisfaction.
December 4, 1860, Dr. Kingsley was married to Miss Georgeanna M. Vogel, daughter of Henry C. Vogel, D.D., for many years pastor of the Baptist church at Rome. They have had three sons: Burt A., who died aged two years, three months, and thirteen days; George L., who was graduated from Yale College in 1886 and from Harvard Medical College in 1890, appointed house surgeon to the Massachusetts General Hospital, and died there September 25, 1890; and Willey L., also a graduate of Yale College, class of 1886, and of Harvard Medical College in 1890, who, after receiving his diploma as M. D., formed a partnership with his father under the style of W J. P. Kingsley & Son, which still continues. In 1891 Dr. and Mrs. Kingsley

GORDON N. BISSELL.
GORDON NEEDHAM BISSELL was born in Onondaga county, N. Y., September 17 1806, and spent his early life at Onondaga Hollow near Syracuse, where his father, Dr. John Devotion Bissell, was a pioneer physician. The family is of French Hu- guenot descent, and immediately after the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1542 many of the name fled to England to escape persecution. Their coat of arms, which was of a religious rather than of a warlike character, is thus described in Burke's "Com- · plete Armory:" "Bissell, Gu. on a bend, or. ; three escallops, sa. Crest, a demi- eagle with wings displayed, sa. : charged on neck with an escallop shell, or." The first and only one of the name known to have come to America was John Bissell, who, tradition asserts, arrived with his family at Plymouth, Mass., from Somerset- shire, England, in 1628. In 1639 he was one of a prospecting party authorized to select a site for a colony in what is now Connecticut and the next year he became one of the founders of Windsor, where he received the monopoly of the Scantic Ferry. He was the first settler on the east side of the Connecticut river and died in 1677, aged eighty-six, leaving children whose posterity are numerous, energetic, and re- spected unto the present day. The ancestry of Gordon N. Bissell is as follows: (1) John, the pioneer; (2) John, jr., died 1693; (3) Daniel, born 1663, died 1738; (4) Ezek- iel, born 1705, died in Torringford, Conn. ; (5) Ebenezer, born 1743, married Lucy Roberts; (6) Dr. John D., who in old age moved to Chicago, Ill., and died in Sep- tember, 1856; and (7) Gordon N. Dr. Bissell married Elizabeth Forman, of Onon- daga Valley, whose brother, Judge Joshua Forman, was an early influential citizen of Onondaga county, and the maternal grandfather of Gov. Horatio Seymour.
Gordon N. Bissell was educated at the Onondaga Academy and spent several years of his early manhood with Judge Forman in North Corolina. In 1837 he came to Rome, Oneida county, and commenced the construction of the Black River canal as a contractor, and two years later removed to North Western, where he also opened a general store. In the fall of 1842 work was suspended on the canal and in Feb- ruary, 1843, Mr. Bissell, after disposing of his mercantile business, returned to Rome, where he purchased the drug store of Dr. H. H. Pope. The following summer he formed a partnership with Benjamin N. Leonard, under the style of Bissell & Leon- ard, and consolidated the drug business of Chesebro & Leonard with his own. In 1844 the firm moved to what is now 117 West Dominick street, where the establish- ment has ever since been located, and known as the checkered store. After Mr. Leonard's death in June, 1853, Mr. Bissell continued alone until his oldlest son, Charles F., attained his majority, when the firm became G. N. Bissell & Son. In April, 1862, Charles F. withdrew and another son, John G., was admitted. In 1883 Mr. Bissell retired and the business was continued by John G. Bissell and James A Owens, as J. G. Bissell & Co., until July 1, 1895, when Mr. Owens withdrew, leaving the proprietorship in the hands of John G. Bissell, the present owner.

BIOGRAPHICAL,
Mr. Bissell was for many years actively identified with the banking interests of Rome. He was a director and for some time the vice-president of the old Bank of Rome and one of the organizers of the Rome Exchange Bank (now the First National), of which he was several years the president. He was for many years president of the Rome Savings Bank and of the Rome Gas Light Company, holding both posi- tions at the time of his death, which occurred February 19, 1891. He was one of the chief promoters and organizers of the Rome Iron Works (now the Rome Brass and Copper Company) and also of the Rome Cemetery Association, of which he was long a trustee.
In all public improvements and enterprises he took a great interest, and worked for the prosperity and advancement of the city. He was an advocate of plank roads in early days, and later of railroads, manufacturing industries and all that promoted the welfare of the town. He was one of the best known and most respected citizens of Rome; a man of rare personal worth, and held in high esteem. His name was the synonym for integrity, honesty, and fair dealing; his religion he took with him into all his business relations. He was noted for his earnestness, his honesty of purpose, his perfect candor, and his fairness; he would allow no imposi- tion upon any person with whom he did business or came into contact. He repre- sented all things exactly as they were, and rather than allow his customer to suffer he would himself take the consequences.
Mr. Bissell was a Democrat in politics, but never wanted office, although he was frequently urged to accept nominations. His only public position was that of village trustee. He was one of the oldest members of Zion Episcopal church, and for thirty years was vestryman or warden. When he wished to retire on account of advancing years, a short time before his death, his colleagues, in recognition of his judgment and experience, made him warden emeritus.
February 3, 1829, Mr. Bissell married Miss Luthera Ward, daughter of William Ward, a pioneer of Manlius, Onondaga county. She was born February 3, 1808, and died September 20, 1856, leaving six children who attained majority, viz. : Mary L., Margaret A., John G., and Laura (Mrs. Frank B. Haff), of Rome: Charles F., of Austin, Texas; and William W., of New Rochelle, N. Y.
JAMES H. SEARLES.
The subject of this sketch was born in Belleville, Jefferson county, N. Y., August 6, 1832. Hle was the son of Martha Gott Ransom and James H. Searles, who was a leading merchant in the town of Ellisburgh many years. Mr. Searles came to Rome January 1, 1867, since which time he has been in the banking, real estate and insur- ance business. A zealous, broad natured citizen, always in sympathy with any good and able enterprise that might be for public advancement.
He was twice married. First, to Frances Barrilla, daughter of Ebenezer and Mol- lie Stark Webster, June 19, 1859. Three children were born by that union-James Webster Searles, of Salt Lake City, Utah, Katherine Mary, wife of Dr. Jay Hatha- way Utley, of Los Angeles, California, and Jenny Frances, born April 29, 1860, at

Kalamazoo, Mich., died October 12, 1880. Second to Eloise Catherine, daughter of John Milton and Mary Abbott Rumney, April 18, 1872. Four children were born to them: John Rumney Searles, Charles Noble Searles, Elizabeth Porter Searles, and Martha Eloise Searles, born February 4, 1879, at Rome, died February 23, 1880. Eloise C. Searles is a grand niece of Newton Mann, whose portrait appears in this work.
WILLIAM E. SCRIPTURE.
.
HON. WILLIAM E. SCRIPTURE, justice of the Supreme Court, was born in the town of Westmoreland, Oneida county, N. Y., November 2, 1843. He descends, on his father's side, from Sterling Welsh ancestry, whose first American representative emigrated to this country and settled in New Hampshire about the year 1700. Ilis grandfather, Hiram Scripture, was a native of Tolland county, Conn., and in 1797 came to Westmoreland, where he married, in March, 1798, Miss Elizabeth Parker, a native of Boston, whose parents were born in Ireland. He died there, aged seventy- seven, as did also his wife, at the age of ninety-three. Her family settled in West- moreland about 1794 Parker A. Scripture, son of Hiram, was born in that town October 23, 1814, spent his life upon a farm there, and in 1874 came to Rome, where he was accidentally killed October 26, 1875. He married Miss Harriet Standish Snow, daughter of Wilson Snow, who survives him. She was born in Plymouth, Mass., and is a lineal descendant of Capt. Miles Standish, one of the Pilgrims of the Mayflower and captain of the Plymouth colony, whom Longfellow immortalized in the celebrated poem, "The Courtship of Miles Standish." She is also descended from the Murdock family, whose ancestor came over soon after 1620. They had three children: Sarah E. (Mrs. C. H. Steele), William E., and Phebe P.
Judge Scripture was reared on the parental farm in Westmoreland and in carly life attended the district schools of that town. He was graduated from Whitestown Seminary in 1865 and in the fall of that year entered Hamilton College in the class of 1869. Illness, however, compelled him to give up a cherished collegiate course and turn his attention to healthier exercise. By the autumn of 1866 his health was sufficiently restored to enable him to enter the Albany Law School, where he was admitted to the bar in May, 1867. He then came to Rome as managing clerk in the law office of Beach & Bailey, whence he left in January, 1868 to begin the active practice of his profession in Canastota, N. Y., under the firm name of Hutchins & Scripture. In the fall of that year he returned to Rome, where he has ever since resided. Here he first resumed practice under the name of Weld & Scripture, but one year later formed a copartnership with Homer T. Fowler as Scripture & Fowler. Subsequently he was associated with George H. Weaver, E. M. Pavey, and (). P. Backus, and since 1892 has practiced alone.
Judge Seripture is widely recognized as au able, conscientious, and reliable coun- selor, well versed in the practice of the law, and qualified by nature for a success- ful and influential advocate. An unswerving Republican he has for several years taken an active part in politics, working for the good of his party as one of its popular leaders. For nearly four years he served as postmaster at Rome under

BIOGRAPHICAL
President Harrison, and in November, 1895, was elected justice of the Supreme Court by the largest majority given to any candidate in this district on the Repub- lican ticket.
In August, 1867, Judge Scripture was married to Miss Emma C. Goodwin, daugh- ter of Israel F. Goodwin, of Westmoreland. They have had eight children: May Standish, Mina Emma, Ella Goodwin, Emma Harriet, Ruth, Vina, Parker Fairfield, and William.
J. ARTHUR SMITH, V. S.
J. ARTHUR SMITH, V. S , was born and reared in the town of Westmoreland, Oneida county. He now owns and occupies the homestead of both his father and grand- father. They came to the town in 18442 and purchased the farm lying southwest of ~ Rome in the most fertile and attractive part of the county. They came from Chester, England, and were from the most intelligent and thrifty stock of that country. James Smith, father of the subject of this sketch and portrait herewith, was also a veteri- nary surgeon before coming to this country, having attained an advanced standing in the profession. He continued in the practice during his life in Westmoreland and was counted one of the most successful in Oneida county. He was well known throughout a wide region of territory. Besides this he was among the foremost farmers of the State. He was industrious, prudent and prosperous, and moreover an upright, respected citizen. His ideas of thrift in farming, which had been a part of his education in England, were applied in the same line here, with the result that he made and developed one of the finest and most valuable farm properties to be found among the many attractive farm realties in the town. He was also an exten- sive dealer in horses, and invested considerable money in the business. He married Mary Ann Gypson, of Westmoreland, by whom he had three sons, Willard R., Charles G., and James Arthur. Willard R. is a resident of Buffalo, N. Y., and Charles G. is in business in Chicago. Dr. James Smith, the father, died in 1891; Mrs. Smith, his wife, is still living.
Dr. J. Arthur Smith was born on this homestead May 11, 1861, where he has spent the greater part of his life. He received the rudiments of his education at the district school in Westmoreland and afterwards took a course at the old Whitestown Semi- nary. Subsequently he attended the New York Veterinary College with the view to continuing the profession in which both his father and grandfather had achieved success. Ile has therefore grown up in the practice, and this long experience and thorough knowledge of the science has given him the foundation for his unusual success. But in addition to this he carries on the farm with quite as much or more ability as those who devote themselves to that one industry.
Dr. Smith is an earnest Republican in politics and always takes a deep interest in the party's behalf.
