CHURCH, Willlam C .:

Among the prisoners released in New York by the British at the close of the Revolution was Willard Church, a native of Mansfield, Conn., and a kinsman, some degrees removed, of Colonel Benjamin Church, the famous Indian fighter; Wil- lard, who had starved with Washington at Valley Forge, fought with Anthony Wayne at Stony Point, and witnessed the execution of Major Andre at Tappan, N. Y., settled in New York after the Rev- olution, and his family, of New England origin, have been associated with that State and its fortunes for over a century. One of the sons of Willard, Pharcellus, who died in 1886 at the age of eighty-five,. was a clergyman, an author of reputation, and an editor of large experience; three of his grandsons, the sons of Pharcellus, are men of literary reputation-William Conant, Frank Pharcellus, and John

Adams Church; the youngest of the three, John, having a still further reputation as a man of science, a Ph. D., he being widely known in his profession of min- ing engineer as a professor at Columbia College, in the State University of Ohio, and in Ann Arbor University; also by his work in connection with the Comstock mines, while employed on the government survey, and by his introduction of Amer- ican methods into China, where for years he served on the staff of the famous viceroy, Li Hung Chang. Colonel William Conant Church derives his name from Roger Conant, the founder of Cape Ann Colony and Salem, Mass., of whom he is a lineal descendant in the seventh

generation on his mother's side; he was born in Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 11, 1836, but has been for the past forty-nine years a resident of the city of New York, where he has large landed interests; during the Civil War of 1861-65 he served as an offi- . cer on the staff of Major-General Silas Casey, bearing with him on his return to civil life the brevet of lientenant-colonel; by this military title he is well known in navy and army circles as the editor of the Army and Navy Journal, which he established in 1863 with the aid of his brother Frank, who has now for some years been connected with the New York Sun, as one of the ablest of its brilliant staff of editorial writers; these two broth- ers, William C. and Frank P., also estab- lished the Galaxy Magazine, and, during the ten years from 1868 until 1878, when it was merged in the Atlantic Monthly, maintained for it a chief place among our literary periodicals. In connection with his editorial work Colonel Church has found time for much literary labor, his name being a familiar one in periodi- cals other than his own-Scribner's Mag- azine, The Century, The North American Review, The Forum, and Harper's Week- ly-to all of which he has contributed; he was also the literary executor of the late John Ericsson, and is the author of the "Life of John Ericsson," published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1890 in two octavo volumes. Colonel Church has taken an active part in public affairs in New York City, and is a member and trustee of the Century Club and the Author's Club, and a member of the Players' and City Clubs; he is a member of the Grand Army, George Washington Post, and was one of the earliest members of the Loyal Legion, his insignia numbering 130; he was a charter member of the New York Commandery, over which he, for two years, presided, in the absence of Gen- eral Schofield, as its junior, and then as its senior vice-commander; he is now a member of the commandery-in-chief of the Legion; he took an active part in the establishment of the National Rifle Asso- ciation, and was for some years its pres- ident; he was, previous to the establish- ment of the Army and Navy Journal, publisher of the New York Sun, leaving it to enter the military service; in 1882 he was appointed by President Arthur
