CHARLES AUGUSTUS KING was born at Sackett's Ilarbor, New York, August 9, 1817. His parents were William and Eliza (Ingersoll) King. The father was born in Boston, Massa- chusetts, in the year, 1786. His grandfather, during the Revolutionary War, was a Tory, siding with the British Government, and moved to Nova Scotia. His mother was born in Sa- vannah, Georgia. Mr. King is one of twelve children-seven boys and five girls. Mr. King came to Toledo in the Spring of 1841, when he engaged as a clerk in the Commission House of Morgan L. Collins & Co., Forwarding and Commission Merchants, where he remained until the Winter of 1845-46, when he entered like employ with Edward Haskell & Co. In August, 1846, with N. Mitchell, he established the Forwarding and Commission House of Mitchell & King, on Water Street, near Jeffer- son, which continued until January, 1848, when the firm was dissolved, Mr. Mitchell removing to Cincinnati. With A. J. Field, the firm of Field & King was then organized, which con- tinued until 1853. Then was formed the firm of C. A. King & Co. (Charles B. Phillips, partner), which continued until 1855, when Ebenezer Walbridge succeeded Mr. Phillips. In January, 1859, was formed the firm of King Brothers (C. A. & F. J. King), to which afterwards was ad- mitted Fred. H. King. Other partners of the Kings were W. H. Whitaker, and George

1c.

Gassaway, the firm now (1888) consisting of C. A. and Frank I. King, doing business at the old stand, corner of Madison and Water Streets, which the senior partner has owned since 1853. It is the oldest Grain House in To- ledo, its history covering a period of nearly 42 years. In 1855 Mr. King contracted for building the first Grain Elevator (No. 1) for the Wabash Railway. Since the institu- tion of Banks in Toledo, he has been con- nected with these as Stockholder and Di- rector. He was one of the five Trustees ap- pointed by the Court of Common Pleas, to whose direction was assigned the construction of the Toledo and Woodville Railroad in 1870. He has been a member of every Board of Trade in the City, beginning with the first one in 1849; now holds like relation with the Produce Exchange; and was President of the former body in 1868. He was many years President of the Mu- tual Insurance Company. Politically, Mr. King was a Whig while that party existed, and has since been identified with the Republican party. Elected as Mayor of Toledo in 1867, he served for two years. At a special election held in December, 1868, he was chosen State Senator, to succeed James C. Ilall, deceased. Among the measures which received his special sup- port, was what is known asthe " Interest law," under which, by special agreement, eight per cent. interest was made payable, the regular legal rate remaining at six per cent. In 1882, he was the Republican candidate for Congress in the Toledo District, and with a Democratic majority of 3,000 in the District, he came within 1,104 votes of an election, running 1,051 ahead of the Republican ticket in Lucas County. F. H. Hurd, of that County, was the Democratic candidate. For many years Mr. King was an active member and a Trustee of the Young Men's Association, and subsequently of the To- ledo Library Association organized in 1865, as he also was and yet is of the Toledo Public Library. On the occasion of the coup d' etat oc- curring at the annual election of the Young Men's Association in October, 1864 (referred to on pages 636-637), Mr. King was specially active in the organization of the Toledo Library A>- sociation, himself making a contribution of $1,000, and securing a large amount from others, as financial basis for the new institution. Mr. King was married August 1, 1847, with Miss Mary Dodd, daughter of Ezra B. Dodd, one of the earliest settlers of Toledo. She died at Cleveland December 23, 1873, aged 47 years, leaving three children, one of whom married S. T. Dick, of Meadville, Pennsylvania, and the second daughter married Robinson Locke, of this City ; the youngest, a boy, is now 18 years old.

MILES D. CARRINGTON was born at Litchfield, Connecticut, January 1. 1823, and died at Marseilles, France, March 22, 1887.

479a

HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.

His parents, Rice and Abigail (Seymour) Car- rington, were born in Whethsfield, Connecti- cut. His father was a farmer, the other mem- bers of the family being engaged in different professions. Ile died in 1546, at the age of 55 years. The mother died at the advanced age of $2 years. She was connected with very prominent families of Conectient, Governor Seymour, of New York being a cousin. The family in 1840 removed to Oneida County, New York, remaining there until the death of the father. The educational privileges of the son were limited to the District Schools of the neighborhood ; hence, his literary attaiminents were chiefly the result of his subsequent efforts amid the activities of life. He remained with the family laboring on the farm, until he was 19 years of age. In 1842 he came West to enter upon his life-work. His first stop was in Hillsdale County, Michigan, where he was variously employed for two years. In 1844, he went to Goshen, Indiana, where he spent three years as clerk in a store. Being then 24 years of age lie decided to enter business for himself, and for such purpose opened a general Store at Middlebury, Indiana. At the end of two yers (1849). Theodore B. Casey became a partner. This arrangement was continued with success until 1854, when the partners removed to Toledo, aud the firm of Carrington & Casey opened a Grain and Commission House, whose business soon became large. Probably no establish- ment did more than theirs toward the develop- ment of that branch of trade in Toledo; while in extent of traffic they were abreast the fore- most. Not limiting that trade they ere long became prominently identified with the trans- portation interest by the purchase and build- ing of valuable shipping which were among the best and most successful on the Lakes. In this way the trade of Toledo was ma- terially promoted. At the time of Mr. Car- rington's arrival and for seven years there- after there was no organization of Grain dealers in Toledo. In 1861, the Toledo Board of Trade was established, of which he was one of the first Directors. as he repeatedly was in subsequent years; while in 1868, and again in 1869, he was Vice President, and was the President in 1871. Upon the organization of the Produce Exchange in. January, 1876, Mr. Carrington was elected as a Director, as he afterwards repeatedly was, and as President in 1880. In 1878, the new corporation entered upon the work of con- struction of the building at the Northeast corner of Madison and St. Clair Streets, which work was placed in charge of a building Com- mittee. of which Mr. Carrington was the Chair- man. The structure was completed in 1879, and was among the most elegant, as well as most convenint and profitable edifices of the kind in the country. The success of the new organization is indicated by the fact, that

membership in it is now valued at 82,000, against 820 in the old Board of Trade.

Mr. Carrington's convictions as to general political policy always were with the Demo- cratic party, with which he generally acted. During the War of the Rebellion, in connection with a large portion of the members of that party, he gave vigorous support to the Govern- ment in its means for the maintainance of the Union ; while, at the same time, he was ever ready in the contribution of financial aid for the benefit of soldiers and their families. In 1874, without his knowledge, he was nomi- nated by the Democrats as a candidate for State Senator, when he declined. In 1877 Governor Bishop appointed him as member of the Board of State Charities, Governor Foster re-appoint- ing him to the same in 1880, in which position he contributed much toward the important objects of that body.

Mr. Carrington was married November 20, 1849, with Miss Elizabeth M., daughter of Ly- man and Maria Casey, of York, Livingston County, New York. She was a sister of Theodore B. Casey, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Mrs. John N. Stevens, of Toledo. Mrs. Carrington, from her first coming to Toledo, took and held a position of special prominence in religions and charitable work, not only connected with her particluar Church, but in various benevolences of the City. She was among the most active in the establish- ment of the Protestant Orphans' Home, as she always was among its most efficient, liberal and earnest managers, serving for 20 years as President of the Board of Directors, and de- voting to its management much of her time. In other directions she was ready and effective in like work. She was long prostrated by fatal disease, which was borne with true Chris- tian patience, and terminated in death August 17, 1886. Mr. Carrington left six children- Alice C. C., wife of Charles H. Royce, New York; Kate L., wife of Frederick B. Shoe- maker, Toledo; William T., Toledo ; Annie B., wife of Jolm S. Hannah, Chicago, Illinois ; and Misses Zoe and Bessie M. Carrington, Toledo.

ABNER L. BACKUS was born in Colum- bus, Ohio, June 27, 1818. He is a son of Thomas and Temperance (Lord) Backus. His paternal grandfather, Elijah Backus, was a native of Norwich, Connecticut, who after gradu- ation at Yale College and admission to the Bar as an Attorney at Law, removed to Marietta, Ohio, in 1800, and was appointed Receiver of Public Moneys for the United States. He practiced law with Wyllis Silliman ; and estab)- lished at Marietta the Ohio Gazette and Virginia Herald, which was the third newspaper started in the Northwest, the first issue appearing about December 1, 1801. It was issued once in three weeks, and supported the Adminis-

tion of President Jefferson. Mr. Backus was a member of the Ohio Senate in 1803. Lewis Cass prepared himself for admission to the Bar in the office of Backus & Silliman. Mr. Backus at one time owned and sold to Blennerhasset, the Island in the Ohio, near Marietta, which subsequently became celebrated as the scene of Aaron Burr's famous conspiracy against the peace of the United States and the rights of Mexico. Abner's father (Thomas Backus) was also a graduate of Yale College; also became a Lawyer, and was one of the carly practicing Attorneys of Franklin County, Ohio. The maternal grandfather (Abner Lord) came to Ohio with the very first of the pioneers, settling in 1788 at Marietta, where he was a Merchant, and also engaged extensively in Ship-building, taking his vessels, during high water in the Spring to New Orleans, where they were either sold or put in charge of employed Masters. In common with thousands of other enterprising men in like business, he was financially ruined by the " Embargo policy " of the Jefferson's Administration. Mr. Thomas Backus had one sister, who became the wife of Judge Pope, of the United States Courtin Illinois, and who was the father of General John Pope, of the United States Army. When the subject of this sketch was seven years old, his father died, leaving a widow with five children to eare for, and with limited resources for such charge. Beyond the means for an education, he received nothing from the father's estate. His School facilities were good, he having been educated at Marietta, then in educational advantages in advance of any other point in Ohio. Ilis advent in business life was made during the Winter of 1837-38, as Rodman, in the Civil Engineers' Department, in the construction of the Ohio State Canals. From that foundation-start, he gradually ad- vanced in position, becoming in order, Con- structing and Superintending Engineer, Canal Collector aud Member and President of the Ohio Board of Public Works, until his with- drawał in 1878-the service (with the exception of' six years) being continuous for 40 years. In 1857 he was elected as Member of the Board, while every other candidate on his (the Demo- eratic) ticket was defeated. He was detailed in 1843 to close up the construction accounts of the Western Reserve and Maumee Road (Per- rysburg and Bellevue), and subsequently for several years had charge of that work. Polit- ically Mr. Backus has always been a Democrat, and until 1860 was actively identified with that party. He then was an Alternate Delegate to the Democratic National Convention held at Baltimore, and was a warm supporter of the nomination of S. A. Douglas for President, but became so far dissatisfied with the course of events in that connection that he never after-

wards took active part in partisan management, though always, through his ballot, seeking to promote the true principles of Democracy. For some years prior to 1860, he was engaged in different mercantile enterprises on the Maumee River. In 1863, associated with Samuel M. Young (firm of Young & Backus), he purchased 200 feet River front, West of Adams Street, and built thereon the large Grain Elevator, which they operated continuously until July, 1880, when that firm was succeeded by A. L. Backus & Sons, who also operate largely in the Grain Commission business. In 1872, Mr. Backus was one of a few citizens of Toledo, by whose enterprise and energy the Columbus and To- ledo Railroad was secured to Toledo, and he served as Director of the Company for eight years, until 1882, when the Road was consoli- dated with the West Virginia Railroad. He was one of the organizers of the Union Elevator Company of East Toledo, in 1879, of which he is now the President. The capacity of this Warehouse is among the greatest in the City, being 800,000 bushels. Since 1872, he has been a Director in the Toledo Gas Light and Coke Company. He has been a Director in the Pro- dnce Exchange ever since its organization, and has been both its Vice President and President of the same. In the Spring of 1880, Mr. Backus was appointed by Governor Foster as a member of the Metropolitan Police Board of Toledo, in which capacity he was active and efficient toward securing a greatly improved Police or- ganization for the City. lle may justly be placed among the most successful of Toledo's business men-a result which he attributes largely to the trials in hard labor and self-de- nial to which absolute necessity subjected him in early life. His first pay was $15.00 per month, with $4.00 per week for board, of which he was enabled to lay by a liberal store for future nse. Though withont Church connection, he has always been identified with the Protes- tant Episcopal Church. Mr. Backus was married October 29, 1844, with Miss Elizabeth Reed, danghter of Judge Henry Reed, Sen., and Temperance (Pratt) Reed, of Waterville, and formerly from Connecticut. Judge Reed was an Associate Judge of Lucas County, under the old constitution, and died at Toledo, in July, 1864. Mrs. Backus died October 25, 1878, leaving a family of three sons-William W., Samuel R. and Alexander, all of Toledo: and three daughters-Elise (Mrs. S. L. Frazer), Duluth, Minn., and Ada (Mrs. Edwin Jackson) and Miss Julia M., of Toledo. Mr. Backus was married a second time, May 5, 1884, with Mrs. Lucretia Maples Hongh, of Toledo, a native of Norwich, Connecticut. Their resi- dence is at the Northwest corner of Summit and Bush Streets, Toledo.
