that he relinquished his college plans and devoted himself to legal matters. He has been in practice in Waverly since 1853. He has held numerous official places, has been special county judge for three terms, and was member of assembly from this county in 1886. In March, 1853, Mr. Allen was married with Sarah S. Walker.

JUDGE FERRIS SHOEMAKER, born June 22, 1838, is a great-grand- son of Daniel Shoemaker, a revolutionary soldier, who, about the year 1797, settled in the town of Nichols, Tioga county, N. Y., upon that fine traet of land known as the Maughantowano flats. Soon after his birth his parents moved from Athens, Bradford county, to Rush, Susquehanna county, Pa. There he grew to manhood, enjoying the benefits of the excellent schools maintained in the vicinity, and later pursuing his studies at Wyoming semi- nary, Kingston, and the normal school at Montrose, Pa. From 1857 to 1861 he engaged in teaching, but when the war broke out enlisted in the U. S. marine corps, and for four and a quarter years served his country, more than three years of the time at sea on a man-of-war. In the fall of 1866 he was elected register and clerk of the orphans court of Susquehanna county for three years ; in 1870 was appointed prothonotary by Gov. Geary ; in 1871 was admitted to the bar, having studied law for four years under Hon. W. H. Jessup, while performing the duties of office. In 1873 he came to Waverly, and since then has been actively engaged in the practice of law, in both New York and Pennsylvania. In 1886 he was elected special county judge of Tioga county. For six years he has served the village as its clerk and attorney, and enjoys the credit of having been an efficient officer in the several public posi- tions he has been called to fill.

two and one-half years. At the same time Mr. Floyd was reading law in Scranton. In 1861 he enlisted in Co. K, 25th Pennsylvania volunteers, and at the end of three months re-enlisted in Co. K, 132d Pennsylvania volunteers, holding first a commission as sec- ond lieutenant, from which he was promoted captain. After the war Capt. Floyd for a time engaged in mercantile pursuits in Che- mung, but in 1865 came to Waverly and continued business until the unfortunate railroad accident at Carr's Rock, in April, 1868, so injured him as to unfit him for further work in that direction. He then attended Albany law school and was graduated in 1871. He at once began practice at Waverly, and has since lived in that vil- lage. Mr. Floyd is a good lawyer and a safe counsellor. He is a republican, though conservative in his views. He was special county judge from 1874 to 1877, and member of assembly in 1882. On August 14, 1861, Mr. Floyd was married with Matilda H. Sny- der, of Seranton, Pa. Three children were born of this marriage, of whom only one is now living, Florence (Mrs. Frank Merriam), of Waverly.
FREDERICK E. HAWKES, son of Carlton H. and Mary (Palmer) Hawkes, was born in Elmira on August 24, 1858. From Elmira free academy he went to Union college, and from Union he was graduated in 1890. Studying law in the office of Herendeen & Mandeville in Elmira, he was duly admitted to the bar, and in May, 1883, came to Waverly as the law partner of J. B. Floyd.

He has been twice elected special county judge.
FRANK L. HOWARD, son of Rev. L. P. and Emily Howard, born February 4, 1873, in Candor, was a graduate of the Spencer acad- emy in 1889.

Howard, son of Charles, was born in 1843 in Danby, Tompkins county. In 1868 he married Emma, daughter of Ezra Barden. Mr. Howard was a farmer until 1877, then, studying for the min- istry, he was ordained, and has held successful pastorates as fol- lows ; three years at Litchfield, three years at Harford, Cortland county, three years at Orwell, Pa., four years at Spencer, four years at Windhanı, Pa., and is now on his third year as pastor at Danby. His children are Edna (Mrs. Samuel K. Marsh), Frank L., and Fenton P. Howard (deceased).
WILLIAM ELTING JOHNSON, the present popular and efficient sen- ator of the 38th senatorial district of the state, is also one of the leading medical men of Tioga county, and one of the best types of the "army surgeon " of the civil war now residing in the southern tier. He was born in West Town, Orange county, on October 17, 1837, the son of Alexander T. and Jane (Cuddeback) Johnson. His early life was passed in Port Jervis, where he received his edu- cation at the public schools and at Neversink seminary. He studied medicine with Dr. Solomon VanEtten of Port Jervis, at- tended lectures at the Albany medical college and received his de- gree of M. D. in December, 1859. He located in Waverly in the spring of 1860, and has since made this village his home. He com- menced the practice of medicine here immediately on his arrival,

but after one year the terrible actualities of civil war were upon us. President Lincoln called for 75,000 troops, which action in- duced the New York legislature to pass a bill authorizing the en- rollment of 30,000 volunteers for two years' service, and creating a military board to organize them. In connection with this board was established an examining board of surgeons to pass upon the medical and surgical qualifications of the medical staff to serve as surgeons of the regiments and upon such other appointments as the executive might select. Dr. Johnson made an application to appear before the board at a specified time in the city of Albany, which was granted, and, after receiving the approval that was given him by the board, he was recommended to the governor for appointment. In the early part of 1862 the surgeon-general di- rected him to go to Binghamton as examining surgeon of the 26th senatorial district. Here he (with other surgeons) examined the recruits of the quota; and he was then commissioned as first as- sistant surgeon of the 109th New York, Col. B. F. Tracy com- manding. After active and perilous service, in 1864 the doctor was commissioned surgeon of the regiment and served in that ca- pacity until the close of the war. During all the active field ser- vice of the army of the Potomac, from the battle of the Wilder- ness to the surrender of Lee, he was detailed upon the operating staff of the third division of the 9th army corps and as brigade surgeon. After his muster out of the service in June, 1865, he re- sumed his medical life in Waverly, and has built up a valuable practice and acquired an honorable reputation. His public posi- tions have been numerous and noteworthy. He was president of the village for two successive terms, surgeon-in-chief of the Robert Packer hospital at Sayre, Pa., for two years, has been United States examining surgeon for pensions for four years, surgeon for the Erie railroad and for the Lehigh Valley for over twenty years, and he is frequently a delegate from the county medical society to the state medical society. An unswerving republican, Dr. Johnson has held high place in the councils of the party. He was a presi- dential elector in 1888, and is now serving a three years' term as state senator and is chairman of the committee on military affairs. Dr. Johnson was married on May 1, 1873, with Mattie M., daughter

of James and Martha (Sharps) Fuller, of Scranton, Pa. They have one daughter, Mary L. Johnson, who is a senior in Wells college. The family attends the Presbyterian church, of which the doctor is a member.
DANIEL D. HARNDEN, M. D., born January 31, 1820, in Victor, N. Y., commenced the study of medicine in 1841 or 1842 and was graduated from Hobart medical college, Geneva. N. Y., in 1844. Thus for several years more than half a century Dr. Harnden has been a practicing physician. Coming from Port Byron to Che- mung in 1847, he was in practice there until 1861, when he perma- nently established himself in Waverly. He is a specialist in elec- tric treatment for disease, is one of the best electricians of the state, and has a large number of batteries and other electrical ma- chines and appliances. He has been president of the Tioga medi- cal society, and for ten years was coroner. He is now health officer for both town and city boards of health.
R. SAYRE HARNDEN, M. D., was born February 8, 1845, at Port Byron, N. Y. After several years' experience as a pharmacist and three years' experience in hospital service (during which he was a part of the time giving his attention to the study of medi- cine) he had two years of poor health, but continued his medical studies with his father, Dr. D. D. Harnden, and was graduated front Bellevue hospital medical college, New York city, in March, 1873, and immediately established himself in practice at Waverly. Dr. Harnden has confined himself strictly to his professional duties, rejecting all offers of local or political office with the ex- ception of that of health officer for a few years. He has been prominent in medical and surgical circles in all parts of the United States. He has written extensively for medical journals, read many papers upon surgery before medical, surgical and scientific bodies which have excited general interest and extensive discus- sion. The doctor is a member of the Medico-Legal society of New York city, and at one time was its vice-chairman. He is a mem- ber and an ex-president of the New York State Association of Rail- way Surgeons, is a member and an ex-president of the Erie Asso-

He is withal a genial, courteous gen- tleman, strong in his friendships and in his hold upon those who acquire his confidence. He belongs to a family of physicians, and is related to some of America's eminent ones, among them Drs. H. B. Sands and Lewis A. Sayre, of New York city. Dr. Harnden himself stands in the highest rank of medical practitioners, and is thoroughly devoted to his profession.

then studied medicine with Dr. Green, of Sand Lake, Rensselaer county, for two years, and at the Cincinnati (Ohio) eclectic college, where he was graduated in 1835, and later, about 1840, he located for practice in Corning, where he stayed until 1846, when he prac- ticed two years in Sullivan and Lycoming counties, Pa., then was three years in Centerville, Bradford county, Pa., and four years in Troy, Pa.

In January, 1896, he came to Waverly, opened an office and makes a specialty of the diseases of women. Dr. Anna- bel married Clementina C. Hallett of Cameron. They have one daughter, Fanny. Dr. Annabel is doubtless descended from An- thony Annable, one of the company who came to Plymouth, Mass., in August, 1623, on the companion ships " Ann " and " Little James." The most of the name in America, however it is spelled, are descendants of Anthony.
CELIA DUNHAM-SMITH, M. D., daughter of T. W. Dunham, was born in Broome county, N. Y. She has been a school teacher for many years, having taught fifty-three terms of school, two years in Denver, Colorado. . She was graduated from the American Health college, of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1892, and located in Wav- erly, where she opened a sanitarium. It has been well patronized, and Mrs. Dunham-Smith has demonstrated the possibility of a successful maintenance of such an useful institution in Waverly. Its reputation has attracted patients from far-off states.
DR. EZRA CANFIELD, son of Amos and Ellen (Knapp) Canfield, born February 14, 1846, at Smithboro, received his early education at Waverly institute and at a Binghamton commercial college, then, in 1867, commenced his medical studies with his brother, Dr. Enos Canfield, at VanEtten.

Smithboro and in the chapter at Waverly, and is a "past grand " in the brotherhood of Odd Fellows. In 1872 Dr. Canfield was mar- ried with Emma, a daughter of Bishop and Saralı (Wiver) Kline, They have an adopted daughter, Rosa Springer.
DR. CHARLES F. GRISWOLD, son of George M. and Julia (Col- burn) Griswold, was born October 4, 1866, in Owego. His medical education was acquired at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York city, and he was graduated from that institution in 1889. He first located for practice in Groton, N. Y., but after two years, in 1891, he came to Barton, where he has since been a practitioner. His marriage with Margaret, daughter of Benjamin and Frances (Silvernail) Lounsberry, a scion of one of the oldest families of the section, occurred on June 8, 1892. Eben Griswold, grandfather of the doctor, born in 1804, made his home in Brad- ford county, Pa., at an early day. He had four children, Char- lotte, George M., Abby, and Charles L. George M. Griswold was born April 2, 1841, in Bradford county, and lived on a farm there until he removed to Owego in 1866.

NATHAN BRISTOL Was born March 7, 1805, in Delaware county, N. Y., of New England parents. His grandfather, Bristol, came from England a tory, and a tory he remained, thereby sacrificing his property for his opinions. Nathan Bristol believed with zest in his right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In early youth he begun with serious faith to test his right to these principles through labor of his hands, and happily he proved that loyal gift to the community in which he lived, an honest man. Early in life too he was an advocate of temperance. This meant a great deal, as good men stood by " scripture" on the other side. These principles grew and crystalized through all his life, and his addresses (written over forty years ago) show a scientific knowl-

edge of the subject instructive to-day. His memory was remark- able, and other men's records were his ready servants. He cast his first presidential vote for Andrew Jackson, and remained al- ways in the democratic ranks. Before he was thirty he twice represented his town on the board of supervisors, and served one term in the assembly. About 1840, he located at Factoryville, en- gaging in the lumber trade, and here he remained until near the close of his life. In the early fifties his senatorial district sent him to Albany as its representative, and, later, he was appointed one of three commissioners to audit bills of the state, which office he held for a number of years. After acquiring a modest com- petence he turned his thoughts to more advanced political and scientific subjects, and by study ever kept a vigorous interest in life and its possibilities. He was a ready writer, and often wrote for the press. His temperament was the poetic, and he felt deeply about all things pertaining to the welfare of humanity. He was never connected with any church or society, but was a regular at- tendant at religious services and an earnest listener ; and he claimed in fullest measure his brotherhood with mankind and unfaltering belief in a preponderance of good in the human family. Thus quickly, happily, passed the years, and the richest inheritance for his children is this faith. He died in the home of Dr. Solomon VanEtten, of Port Jervis, March 1, 1874, and is buried on the banks of the same beautiful Delaware whose onward waves first sang his welcome to life.
FREDERIC E. LYFORD, the popular president of the First National bank of Waverly, was born in Waterville, Me., January 26, 1853, the son of Albert and Phebe (Bates) Lyford. In 1860, when but seven years of age, he came to Waverly to become a member of the family of his brother-in-law, Prof. A. J. Lang, and from that time he has been resident here. He was educated at Waverly in- stitute, and had the advantages of the refining influences of the elevated home life of Prof. Lang's household, of which he was a member. He also lived with his sister, Mrs. Lang, after the death of Mr. Lang in 1870, until his marriage in 1877. In 1871 he en- tered the First National bank as bookkeeper, and, by regular

advancement, now fills its highest office. His financial education was here acquired, under the supervision of Howard and Richard A. Elmer, and he has done credit to his able instructors. Mr. Lyford's active business life has precluded him from political aspir- ations, although he has ever been an energetic and unswerving republican. He has served on the board of trustees of the village one year as president, and two years as president of the board of education, of which he is now a member, having been re-elected for the third time. He has, morever, been connected with numer- ous enterprises of business and financial importance, is the present president of the Sayre (Pa.) banking company, and has been the treasurer of the Sayre land company and of the Sayre water com- pany. Mr. Lyford has been twice married ; first, on September 19, 1877, with Cora B., daughter of Hovey E. and Harriet P. (Bristol) Lowman, who died on April 3, 1888. Children : Harriet Winifred, Charles Albert, Percy Lang. On March 24, 1891, his second mar- riage occurred, the lady being Jane L., daughter of James and Sarah J. (Satterlee) Lemon. Their children are Frederic E. and Katharine VanEtten Lyford. Mr. Lyford is a member of the Presbyterian church.
ANDREW JACKSON LANG stands out conspicuously in the history of education in this county from 1857 to 1870. He was born in Palmyra, Me., September 3, 1831. He inherited from his father strong will power, energy, frankness and independence ; from his mother tenderness, spirituality and love of the beautiful. Like many New England boys, his young life was passed on the rough New England farm, with hard work on the farm, and a few weeks' attendance at the winter district schools. When seventeen, how- ever, he had a special boon ; one term at an academy ! This awak- ened ambition to rise above the hard conditions of life. He never regretted the discipline of his youth, but regarded it as the power that developed the positive elements of his nature and prepared him well for his life conflicts. Like Emerson, he regretted that his children must be denied the blessing of his childhood-poverty. With money earned in the hay field he again entered Hartland academy, and then went to Kent's Hill seminary. Later he

taught, and by alternate labor in hay field and school room pre- pared himself for college. He entered Waterville college when twenty, and for three years supported himself by teaching, main- taining his standing by studying nights and recess days. He taught in two schools, one in Dexter, Me., the other in Mattapoi- sett, Mass., where he successfully followed two men afterward noted teachers. On leaving Waterville Mr. Lang went to Union college, at Schenectady, N. Y., with five of his classmates, where Dr. Eliphalet Nott had become famous. To meet their expenses they hired money at twelve per cent, giving life insurance policies as security. All later filled influential positions. One became a college president, another has for many years represented his na- tive state in congress. In Dr. Nott, Mr. Lang recognized a master mind which roused his enthusiasm for intellectual achievement and to set his life to the key of some high purpose. He chose the law for his profession, but teaching must still be his stepping stone. The sequel proved that the school room was the sphere of his activities. This pushing on and on under difficulties in school days was an early indication of that propelling power behind a laudable ambition which marked Mr. Lang's entire life. With so little means few would have accomplished so much in the face of such obstacles, but "the boy was father of the man." Graduat- ing from Union in 1856, he attended Fort Plain seminary a few months, then took charge of a boys' seminary at Essex, Conn. In 1857 he married Elvira Lyford, of Waterville, Me. The next sum- mer plans were made for him to become principal of the boys' high school in Roxbury, Mass. (Boston), succeeding Prof. Solomon Wes- ton, for eighteen years its master. Mr. Weston was, however, retained, and Mr. Lang started for the west, to be checked by a call to Waverly. With the prospect that he could here carry out his own methods, he accepted it and became the principal of the Waverly institute. The building was not completed, the school unincorporated, with no apparatus, no library, no state funds, in a new village with varying vicissitudes, and in the midst of a finan- cial panic. Thus he began his labors in this school. For the thir- teen years it was under his control he labored (under most discour- aging circumstances) to make it a thorough and well disciplined
