BRIGADIER GENERAL E. BURD GRUBB, eldest son of Edward Burd Grubb, by his wife, Euphemia Brown Parker, born in Burlington, New Jersey, November 13, 1841, prepared for college at the Burlington grammar school, and entered Bur- lington College, from which he graduated with the highest honors of his class in 1860.

Almost immediately after the issuance of President Lincoln's first call for troops to support the Union and suppress the Rebellion, 1861, General Grubb entered the volunteer service of his native state, as a private, was promoted Sergeant, and soon after to the rank of Second Lieutenant, of his company, in the Third Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, which he accompanied to the front.

He was at the first battle of Bull Run, July of 1861, and also at the hard fought battle of Gaines' Mill, where eleven hundred of the two thousand men in his brigade were either killed, wounded or taken as prisoners.

He had previously been promoted to First Lieutenant of Company D, and dur- ing the battle of Charles City Cross Roads, performed the perilous duty of carry- ing despatches to and from General Slocum, in the face of the direct fire of the enemy. When General Kearney was transferred to the command of a division, Lieutenant Grubb was assigned to a position on the staff of General Taylor. He was promoted Captain of Company B, Third Regiment. He was promoted to Major of the Twenty-third Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, November 23, 1862, and to Lieutenant Colonel, December 26, 1862. At Fredericksburg he personally led the right wing of his regiment, and received high commendation in official reports for gallant action in that battle. A chronicler of this battle says of him : "It was due to him that the right of the regiment, then thrown into confusion by the terrible fire to which it was subjected, was rallied and led into the thickest of the combat of Fredericksburg." At the battle of Chancellorsville, being then the Colonel of the Twenty-third Regiment, after having his horse shot under him, he led his men on foot. He was extremely popular with the men who fought under him, and exercised a great influence with them on all occasions. He was instrumental in ending a mutiny in the camp at White Oak Church.

The time of enlistment of the Twenty-third Regiment having expired, it went home to be mustered out just at the time of Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania, and Colonel Grubb was successful in assembling the men, and inducing them, with practical unanimity, to volunteer for the emergency ; and the regiment led by him was the first to arrive and report for duty at Harrisburg.

In July, 1863, Colonel Grubb was commissioned by the Governor of New

1254

GRUBB

Jersey to command the military camp at Beverly. While there be recruited the Thirty-fourth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, and sent it to the front. At the request of Governor Parker he afterwards recruited the Thirty-seventh Regiment, and at its head left Trenton, June 28, 1864, and with it fought with conspicuous bravery and efficiency before Petersburg. Major General Birney, in general orders referred to the Thirty-seventh Regiment as an exceptionally superior regi- ment. Colonel Grubb was breveted Brigadier General of Volunteers, March 5, 1865, for gallant and meritorious service during the war.

Of General Grubb, as a military officer it has been said, "Though a strict dis- ciplinarian, he was at all times highly popular with the men, managing to so direct those of his command that duty became a pleasure, and he never asked his men to face any danger which he was unwilling to share." Among his private papers are preserved all his successive commissions, from Sergeant to Brigadier Gen- eral. Annually on the third day of May, for many years, he has entertained at his beautiful country place near Edgewater Park, New Jersey, the survivors of the Twenty-third Regiment, his old command.

At the session of the New Jersey Legislature of 1906, an Act was passed and approved by the Governor, March 9, 1906, of which the following is a copy of the title and preamble :

"An Act, to authorize the erection of a monument on the battle field of Salem Church, in the State of Virginia, to commemorate the services of the Twenty-Third Regiment, New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, in the Battle of Salem Church and other engagements of the Civil War, and to appropriate money to pay the cost of the erection and dedication of the same.

"Whereas, the Twenty-Third Regiment, New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, rendered valiant and distinguished service in the Battle of Salem Church, in the County of Spottsyl- vania and State of Virginia, fought on the third day of May, 1863; as well as in other en- gagements of the Civil War; and

"Whereas, in order to perpetuate the memories of said battle of Salem Church and in other engagements in which the said regiment participated, as well as to promote the spirit of patriotism in their descendants and others, the surviving members of said regiment formed themselves into an association known as the 'Association of the Survivors of the Twenty-Third Regiment of the New Jersey Volunteers,' which association, upon each re- curring anniversary of the Battle of Salem Church, meets to revive the memories and asso- ciations of said battle,

"Whereas, the land whereon said regiment fought in said battle and on which the lines of battle were formed, where said regiment sustained and delivered the most severe charges of the day; where the greatest victories of the battle were achieved and the greatest losses sustained by said regiment, consecrating it as historic ground and endearing it to the memory of all who trod its soil, had been purchased by Edward Burd Grubb, then Colonel of the said regiment, and by him deeded to trustees for said association, to be held by said trustees and their successors as a perpetual memorial of said battle of Salem Church; and

"Whereas, the said association is desirous of erecting upon the land so held for them in trust, a suitable monument commemorative of the said battle, but are without means wherewith to accomplish the same and desire State aid in the premises; therefore,

"Be it enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey. I. The sum of six thousand dollars is hereby appropriated, &c. &c."

The military record of General E. Burd Grubb in the United States service as taken from the official records of the State of New Jersey, is shown by the fol- lowing certified copy thereof :

"It is certified, and the records of this office show, that E. Burd Grubb, was en- rolled as a private in Company C, Third Regiment Infantry, New Jersey Volunteers, on the twenty-fifth day of May, 1861; and was mustered into service of the United States as such for a period of three years from the twenty-fifth day of May, 1861; promoted First Sergeant, May 25, 1861 ; commissioned Second Lieutenant, June 13, 1861; First Lieutenant,

"R. Heber Brentnall,

"Adjutant General."

After leaving the army, General Burd Grubb resided until 1873 in his native place of Burlington, being for several years a member and for two years president of the Common Council of that city ; also serving as trustee of St. Mary's Hall. In 1874 he purchased a handsome estate on the Delaware river at Edgewater Park, New Jersey, which he has since made his home. He was for eighteen years, 1878-96, Captain of the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry, and also served as Colonel of the Sixth Regiment, National Guard of New Jersey. In October, 1881, he commanded the New Jersey Battalion at the Yorktown Cen- tennial. He was Department Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic for New Jersey, 1886, and at the expiration of his term in 1889 was appointed by President Harrison one of the board of visitors to the Military Academy at West Point.

In 1889 he was nominated by the Republican party for the office of Governor of New Jersey, but owing largely to the extensive election frauds practiced in that campaign was defeated. On behalf of the citizens of his native state, he thereupon devoted himself actively to the prosecution of persons concerned in this corrupt practice and was instrumental in having sixty-nine of them convicted and sent to prison.

In September, 1890, General Grubb, at the request of his intimate and personal and political friend, Hon. James G. Blaine, then Secretary of State, was appoint- ed and accepted from President Harrison the position of Minister to Spain. The special object of the appointment was to secure the adoption of a treaty with the Spanish Government for reciprocity of trade between the United States and Spain and her colonies of Cuba and Porto Rico. This treaty was successfully negotiated by General Grubb the following year and during its operation showed a gain of $27,000,000 in the American commerce; but it was abrogated by the passage of the Wilson Tariff Bill, during the Cleveland administration, and the restoration of the duty on Cuban sugar, which, under the Aldrich Clause of the Mckinley Bill, had been suspended during the continuance of the Reciprocity Treaty. In addition General Grubb secured the rescinding by the Spanish Gov- ernment of the prohibition against the importations of American pork, a signal diplomatic triumph.

An other important incident of General Grubb's ministerial career was his establishing the precedent in the law governing the right of asylum of a foreign subject in this country. Rufine Rueda, a Cuban murderer, who had fled to Key West, Florida, was kidnapped there by the Spanish authorities in collusion with the police of the city ; this irregular and illegal proceeding resulted in negotiations which General Grubb conducted through diplomatic channels, covering a period of six months, which concluded with the return of the prisoner to Key West and the pursuance of proper proceedings for legal extradition. General Grubb resign- ed as Minister to Spain in August, 1892. 38

He inherited an interest in the Pennsylvania iron mines at Cornwall, purchased by his great-great-grandfather nearly a century and a quarter before his birth, and is president of the Lebanon Valley Furnace Company, being of the fifth generation in direct line of iron mine owners and manufacturers of iron in the Cornwall region of Pennsylvania. As the eldest male representative of Peter Grubb, Jr., an officer of the Revolutionary Army, he is a member of the Society of Cincinnati; he was the organizer and for several years governor of the Society of Colonial Wars in New Jersey, having previously been a member of the Penn- sylvania Society.

General Grubb married, 1868, Elizabeth Wadsworth, daughter of Rev. Dr. Cortland Van Rensselaer, by his wife, Catharine Ledyard Coggswell, and grand- daughter of Major General Stephen Van Rensselaer, the last patroon of Van Rensselaerwyck. She died April 17, 1886.

General Grubb married (second) November 3, 1891, Violet, daughter of Thomas Sopwith, Esq., by his wife, Gertrude Messiter. Her father is a mining engineer of London, England, and Linares, Spain; having a summer residence on the Island of Lismore, off Oban, on the coast of Scotland. Her mother is a collateral relative of the Beresford family of England. A sister of Mrs. Grubb is a wife of Captain Frederic Morgan, of the Royal Navy, now naval attaché of the British Embassy in Paris; another sister is the wife of Frederic Raike, Esq., King's Messenger to King Edward VII., of England.

Mrs. Grubb was decorated by Maria Christina, Queen Regent of Spain, with the Order of Maria Louisa, one of the most exclusive orders in Europe.

Margaret Shippen Burd, b. May 27, 1902, d. April 10, 1904;

Violet Dorothea Grubb, b. July 3, 1905.

CLEMENT BROOKE GRUBB, fourth son of Henry Bates and Harriet Amelia (Buckley) Grubb, born at Mount Hope Furnace, Lancaster county, Pennsyl- vania, February 9, 1815, was educated under the care of Dr. William Augustus Muhlenburg, at Flushing, Long Island. At the death of his father in 1823, all the children were minors, Clement B. being but eight years of age and his eldest brother, Edward Burd Grubb, in his thirteenth year. In 1833, the latter having attained his majority, obtained the consent of the Orphans' Court of Lancaster county to, with his brother, Clement B., then eighteen years of age, assume charge of the Cornwall ore banks, and the four furnaces of Mount Hope, Manada, Mount Vernon and Codorus ; they maintaining the dower interests of their mother therein, and paying the proportionate interest of the appraised value thereof to the guardians of the three surviving minor children, Mary Shippen, Sarah Eliza- beth and Alfred Bates Grubb.

This partnership of the brothers, Edward B. and Clement B. Grubb, in the management of the furnaces and ore beds belonging to the estate of their father continued until 1845, when all the children having arrived at legal age there was a partial division of the iron interests among three of the brothers. Clement Brooke Grubb sold his interest in the Mount Hope Furnace to his younger brother, Alfred Bates Grubb, and retaining an interest in certain ore beds, erected the St. Charles Anthracite Furnace, at Columbia, Pennsylvania, and later added the Henry Clay Furnace. Subsequently his son, Charles Brooke Grubb, became his partner in the iron business. After his marriage, Clement Brooke Grubb made his residence in Lancaster, where he was a vestryman of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, and for twenty years president of the First National Bank of Lancaster. In later years he made his winter residence at 2105 Walnut street, Philadelphia, and he was one of the first members of the Union League of that city.
