COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

ried Nancy A. Quick, a native of Luzerne county, Penn., where her parents, Cornelius and Elizabeth ( Nesbit) Quick, settled at an early period. Her fa- ther died there, but her mother's last days were spent in Wayne county. Of their other children, Franklin married Katie Bogert; Francis married Emma Sibley; Henry married Miss McGee; Al- mina married Charles Swingle, of South Canaan township; Polly married John Swingle; Rachel married Barney Carrey; Margaret married Eli Shaffer ; and Sallie married Joseph Swingle. Fred- erick Enslin died December 5, 1859, aged fifty-seven years ; his wife passed away November 14, 1859, at the age of fifty-five. They had the following chil- dren : Julia, deceased, wife of Henry Ames, of Way- mart; Jacob, father of Mrs. Jaggars; Francis, who married Martha Shaffer, an aunt of Mrs. Jaggars, now deceased; Rosella, wife of Alexander Correll, baggage-master at Hawley for the E. & W. R. R .; Rachel, wife of Columbus Hubbard, of Lake town- ship, Wayne county; and Joshua, who married Viola Sherman, and settled in Hudson City, Wis., where he died some years ago.

Jacob Enslin, father of Mrs. Jaggars, was born July 29, 1827, and has resided at his present home- stead in South Canaan township since he was a year old. At the age of seventeen he lost his left hand by the explosion of a gun with which he had been shooting, but notwithstanding this disadvantage he has managed to do much hard work. He is held in high esteem among his associates, and is noted for his kindness and readiness to oblige his friends, but at times these amiable traits have caused him finan- cial loss. In politics he is a Democrat, and for twenty years past he has held the office of overseer of the poor. He was married May 13, 1851, at Salem Corners, Wayne county, by Rev. Kellog, a Methodist minister, to Miss Rachel Shaffer, who was born November 2, 1831, a daughter of Samuel and Rachel (Wagner) Shaffer, prominent residents of South Canaan township. They had seven chil- dren : Ordelia, born March 5, 1852, who married John Corey, a farmer in South Canaan township; Orra O., wife of our subject; Elven, born April 2, 1858, who married Elida Seely, and resides upon a farm in South Canaan township; Frederick, born June 14, 1860, who married Emma Radenburg, and is also engaged in farming in South Canaan town- ship; Kansas, born June 5, 1862, died January 3, 1864; and Miss Katie, born March 9, 1865, and Jay F., born November 26, 1868, both residing at home.

JOSIAH O. FULLER, who is now living a comparatively retired life at his home in West Au- burn, Susquehanna county, is a native of that place, born July 16, 1842, and he has been identified with agricultural interests there all his life.

Mr. Fuller's father, Jonas Fuller, was born in Addison county, Vt., March 30, 1792, son of Josiah and Lydia (Heath) Fuller, natives of the same State, the former born November 11, 1757, the latter March 26, 1761. They lived and died in Vermont,

where they were buried, Josiah Fuller engaging in farming and sawmilling. Their children were as follows : Philomele, born September II, 1782, Mrs. Smith; Beulah, born March 17, 1784, Mrs. Elisha Baker ; Cerah, born February 17, 1788, Mrs. Hall; Lydia, born March 4, 1790, Mrs. Dyke ; Jonas, father of our subject; Phoebe, born April II, 1796, Mrs. Ambler ; and Sage, born December 13, 1805, mar- ried a Willoughby. Jonas Fuller grew to man- hood at his native place, and in 1813, when twenty- one years of age, came to Susquehanna county, Penn., settling in Bridgewater township, where he resided for twenty years, and subsequently remov- ing to Auburn, where he passed the remainder of his days. He was a miller and millwright by trade, and was considered the best mechanic in this part of the State; during the latter part of his life he also en- gaged in farming. He was first married to Mary Wells, by whom he had four children, all now de- ceased, viz .: Almond, Ransom, Cyrus (who died in 1898) and Mary (Mrs. Solomon Moore, deceased in 1898). His second wife, Clarissa Main, was a na- tive of Susquehanna county, and to them were born thirteen children: Ami, who died when seven years old; Lydia A., who married Luther Jagger, now a retired resident of Auburn township; Henry, Jonas, Nelson, Theodore, Julia A., Andrew and George, all of whom died young; Harriet, who married Al- pheus Crawford, of Bradford county, Penn. ; Charles, a farmer of Auburn township; Josiah O .; and Clara, wife of Lewis Biles, of Camptown, Penn. The father of this family died January 26, 1882, at the advanced age of eighty-nine years, six months, and the mother followed him to the long home in Oc- tober, 1884, when aged seventy-six years; they were buried in the Fuller cemetery in Auburn town- ship. They were worthy Christian people, and were highly respected by their neighbors and friends in Auburn township. Jonas Fuller served as a soldier in the war of 1812-15.

Up to the age of twenty years Josiah O. Fuller remained on the home farm, in his boyhood attend- ing the public schools, and subsequently assisting his father. After his marriage he purchased a farm of his own, on which he lived for one year, until his enlistment, on August 29, 1864, in Company C, 203rd P. V. I., Capt. Charles Smallwood, and he was mus- tered into the service at Scranton, Penn., going from there direct to Camp Cadwalader, Philadelphia. He served until the close of the struggle, tak- ing part in the battle of Fort Fisher and other en- gagements, and was mustered out June 22, 1865, at Raleigh, N. C., receiving his discharge July 3, at Philadelphia. He was never wounded. On his re- turn from the army he engaged in lumbering for almost a year, and on April 1, 1866, bought a farm on Lime Hill, Bradford Co., Penn., where he re- sided for three years, at the end of which time he sold and came to West Auburn. Here he has bought and sold farms several times. He is a good business manager, and has been busily engaged in agricult- ural pursuits, in which he has met with unusual suc-

cess, acquiring a comfortable competence. Mr. Ful- ler is one of the most progressive residents of this section, where he is highly esteemed for his genuine worth and value as a reliable citizen, and he is well known all over the township. He has served as school director six years, and, politically, is identified with the Republican party. Socially he holds mem- bership with the Patrons of Industry.

Nr. Fuller was married, November 12, 1862, to Miss Emma Peet, and they are the parents of the following named children: Loella, who is the wife of C. W. Seely, formerly a life insurance agent, of Meshoppen, Penn., now conductor on a trolly car in Scranton; Mertie, who died when two and one- half years old; Miles B., engaged in agriculture on his father's old farm, who married Hattie Fellbush ; Iona L., the wife of Dr. William B. Beaumont, of West Auburn ; Grace, who married Wickham Elliott, a farmer and grain merchant of Homets Ferry, Penn., now bookkeeper and head clerk in Fuller's dry-goods store at Camptown, Penn. ; and Anna, liv- ing with her parents.

Mrs. Emma ( Peet) Fuller is an intelligent and highly-respected woman. She was born January 8, 1840, in Middletown township, Susquehanna coun- ty, daughter of Philip Peet, a native of Derbyshire, England, whose father, Richard Peet, was engaged in farming in that country all his life. In 1829 Philip Peet set out for the United States, landing at Nova Scotia after a voyage of nine weeks, during which time they encountered such severe storms that the masts were torn away, and for three weeks they were at the mercy of wind and wave. Locat- ing first in Susquehanna county, Penn., Mr. Peet subsequently removed to. Bradford county, where lie resided for many years. His declining days were spent with his son William W. Peet in Bradford county, Penn., where he died Septem- ber 19, 1869, aged seventy-seven years. He was a farmer by occupation, and an honest, upright Christian man. He married Lorain Beardslee, a native of Susquehanna county, Penn., who passed away February 13, 1872, aged sixty-nine years; she was a teacher of eminence; spirited ; possessed of more than ordinary musical talent ; de- voted to family and friends; a firm supporter of truth and righteousness, and a devout member of the M. E. Church. The remains of Mr. and Mrs. Peet rest in the West Auburn cemetery. They were the parents of children as follows: William W., who is a very successful farmer of Bradford county, and was for many years a teacher of vocal music; Mary E., wife of M. C. Lacey, a farmer and mechanic, who removed to Russell county, Kans., in 1878, and died November 10, 1897 (he was here elected for several terms justice of the peace, and to other offices of trust) ; Sarah A., widow of John R. La- cey, an architect of Laceyville, Wyoming Co., Penn. ; Emma, Mrs. Fuller; and Julia, wife of Andrew Kennedy, a stone mason of Elmira, N. Y. Mrs. Fuller taught seven terms of school, five in Sus- quehanna county, and two in Bradford, and met

with the best of success in that profession, and all her sisters were successful teachers.

Mrs. Emma ( Peet) Fuller's grandfather, Silas Beardslee, Sr., moved from New Milford, Litchfield Co., Conn., with his wife, Catharine Treadwell, and two children, accompanied by a sister and her hus- band, Isaac Bronson, and made the first settlement at Stevensville, Bradford Co., Penn., in 1794. After a time he moved on up the Wyalusing Creek to the Forks, and made the first settlement there; still later moving up the North Branch on to the Salt Spring farm. Here he met his death, being thrown from a wagon, and breaking his neck, on July 18, 1820. He had a family of nine children: Eunice, Mrs. Joseph Beebe; William, who married Abigail Whitaker; Mahetabel, Mrs. Edmund Fairchild ; Joanna, Mrs. Amasa Moulton; Sally, Mrs. Austin Howell; Lorain, Mrs. Philip Peet; Catharine, Mrs. Clark Whitaker; Silas, who married Julia Ann Barton; and John, who married Adaline Darling. Of these, Mrs. Catharine Whitaker, now past nine- ty-five years of age, is the only survivor ; she is re- markable for her memory of past events.

MORRIS H. STROUSS, a veteran of the Civil war, has been prominently identified with the agricultural pursuits of Stroud township, Monroe county, for many years, and is the owner of a fine farm located about one mile west of Spragueville.

Mr. Strouss belongs to a well-known family. His grandfather, Jacob Strouss, a native of Ger- many, came to this section when a young man, lo- cating in what is now Hamilton township, Monroe county, where he cleared two farms. Some years afterward he sold out and removed to what is now Columbia county, then a part of Montour county, and purchased a large tract of land. He and his wife died there, leaving four sons and one daughter : Levi, our subject's father, is mentioned more fully below; David and Jonathan inherited the Columbia lands, and still reside there; Aaron died in Colum- bia county ; and Rebecca married Aaron Springer, of Columbia county, and afterward removed to the West.

Levi Strouss, the father of our subject, was born in Monroe county, and his education was begun in the common schools of Hamilton township. In early manhood he married Miss Elizabeth Hess, a native of New York State and a daughter of John Hess, then a resident of Northampton county, Penn. Soon after his marriage Levi Strouss bought a tract of forest land in Stroud township, Monroe coun- ty, two and one-half miles west of Stroudsburg, where he cleared a fine farm. His first house was burned, but he replaced it by a more substantial one, in which his last days were spent, his death occurring in 1865; his wife died in 1868. Of their ten children three died in childhood. (I) Anna M. married Peter A. Gruber, of Paradise township, Monroe county. (2) Asenath married (first) John C. Meyers, who died in 1858, and (second) James R. Dixson, of Coolbaugh township, Monroe coun-

ty. She has one son, Howard Dixson. (3) Morris H., our subject, is mentioned more fully below. (4) Eliza married William W. Brodhead, a merchant of Coolbaugh township, and has five children, Fannie (wife ot J. Terry, of San Francisco, Cal. ), Harry, Sallie, Charles and Jennie. (5) Sarah married Adel- bert Swan, of Tobyhanna township, Monroe coun- ty, and has two children, William and Hattie. (6) Isaiah, who has been connected with sawmill work in Tobyhanna for thirty-two years, married Miss Rachel Frounfelker, of Coolbaugh township, and has four children, Harry, Minnie ( Mrs. Greenman, of Binghamton, N. Y.), Edward and Adam. (7) An- nia married Luther Williamson, a lumberman of Coolbaugh township, and they have children, George, Laura, Emmet and Lewis.

Our subject was born January 20, 1837, in Hamilton township, Monroe county, and during boy- hood attended school there and in Stroud township. At the age of fourteen he began to learn the trade of a brick maker with Simon Gruber, and on com- pleting his apprenticeship he built kilns at Dun- more, and engaged in business on his own account ; later he built kilns at Providence, Luzerne county, where he remained one year. In 1862 he enlisted in Company C, 176th P. V. I., under Capt. Charles Warwick, of Stroudsburg, being mustered in at Philadelphia. On January 1, 1863, he was appoint- ed corporal under Col. Ambrose A. Lecherand and soon afterward he went to Suffolk, Va., where his company was assigned to service with Gen. Foster in his Charleston expedition, and on arriving at Newbern, N. C., they were incorporated in the First Brigade, First Division, Department of the South. On January 27, 1863, they sailed for Hil- ton Head, S. C., where they landed on February 9. There our subject was taken ill with intermittent fever, but after two months in the regimental hos- pital he rejoined his company, and in August, 1863, he received an honorable discharge because of the expiration of his term. While in the service his regiment was employed mainly in special provost duty and in fatigue duty on fortifications. On his return home he followed lumbering and sawmill work at Tobyhanna for four years, and then rented a farm in Paradise township, Monroe county, where he remained until 1872. From that time he re- sided at his present homestead, which he purchased in 1880 from Michael Cuff, and has improved it in a substantial manner, clearing up an unimproved portion, building a new barn, and remodeling the residence. In 1898 he purchased a lot in the village of Spragueville, where he has erected a two-story house, with all modern improvements, in which he now resides. Politically he is a Republican of Old-time Whig antecedents, but he never sought or held office, though he is at present serving as postmaster, having been appointed April 1, 1899. His family is prominent in the social life of the community, and he and his wife are leading mem- bers of the Methodist Church at Spragueville.

In December, 1863, Mr. Strouss married Miss

Caroline Ruff, who was born in 1844 in Stroud township, Monroe county, daughter of William B. and Elizabeth Ruff, both of whom are living at the advanced age of eighty-four years. She died Feb- ruary 9, 1876, in Paradise township, and on May 4, 1878, he married Miss Susan R. Huffman, daugh- ter of Abram and Mary Huffman, natives of Bucks county, Penn., who removed in 1833 to Smithfield township, Monroe coutny, where their last years were spent. Mr. Strouss has had six children, all by the first marriage, viz .: (I) Miss Emma, born May 5, 1865, in Stroud township, is assistant fore- lady in a shirt factory at Wilmington, Del. (2) Bertha, born December 26, 1867, in Stroud town- ship, married Henry W. Wilton, an engineer re- siding in Coolbaugh township, and has had five children, Willie (who died in childhood), May, John, Emma, and Elizabeth. (3) Lizzie, born No- vember 5, 1869, in Coolbaugh township, married Frank L. Huffman, a farmer at the old Huffman homestead in Stroud township. (4) Maggie, born in 1872, died in the same year. (5) Grace, born October 5, 1873, married Simon Transue, a railroad man re- siding in Pocono township, Monroe county, and has two children, Annia and Emma. (6) Charles, born February 7, 1876, died in childhood.

HON. FRANCIS VINCENT CARR, of Waymart, who is now serving as associate judge of Wayne county, is a worthy representative of an old and distinguished family.

According to a charter in Battle Abbey, one of the followers of William the Conqueror was named Karrs, and from this Norman soldier the various families bearing the name of Carr or Kerr have doubtless descended. It is likely that the first home of the race was in the North of England, but succeeding generations settled on the other side of the border, in Scotland, and in still later times the family spread to the North of Ireland. The original spelling of the name was widely modified from the Norman French Karre or Carre, and in documents belonging to the early centuries we find it written Carre, Carr, Care, Car, Karre, Karr, Kar, Kerre, Ker and Kerr. In the Scotch branch the spelling Kerr, Karr or Ker has mainly been followed, while in the English and Irish the pre- vailing form is Carr.

Judge Carr is a direct descendant in the eighth generation from one Benjamin Carr, who was born in London, England, August 18, 1592, and was married September 2, 1613, to Martha Hardington, of the same city, where they continued to reside. They had several children, among whom were Robert, born October 4, 1614; Caleb, December 9, 1616; Richard, January 5, 1621 ; and Andrew, December 5, 1622. Another son, James, ran away to sea and was never again heard of. Two others, William and Benjamin, came to Am- erica in 1620. An old Bible is now treasured as an heirloom by the descendants of William Carr. It was printed in London in 1585, and on the first

II. Gov. Caleb Carr, through whom is contin- tied the line of descent in which we are now interest- ed sailed from London on May 9, 1635, with his brother Robert, in the vessel "Elizabeth Ann." After spending some time in prospecting they lo- cated at Newport, R. I., in 1640, and for many years Caleb Carr was a leading man of that Colony. He not only acquired considerable property, but he held numerous offices of public trust and honor. From May 21, 1661, to May 22, 1662, he was gen- eral treasurer of the Colony, and in 1687-88 he served as justice of the peace of the general quarterly session and inferior court of common pleas. In 1695 he became governor of the Colony, and this office he was holding at the time of his death, on December 17, 1695, from drowning. In religious belief he was a Friend, or Quaker. His first wife, Mercy ( Vaughan), died September 21, 1675, and' he afterward married Mrs. Sarah Clarke Pinner, a widow, who was born in 1651, and died in 1706. She was a daughter of Jeremiah Clarke, and a sister of Gov. Walter Clarke.

He was married in his native town to Esther Varnell, who was born in the same locality, March 15, 1769, and died at Honesdale, June 4, 1854. Their children were Thomas, born about 1792; Edward, born February 4, 1794; John, born September 12, 1796; Nancy, born January 19, 1708: Sylvia, born July 28, 1801 ; Mary, born August 28, 1803; James, born about 1805; and Erastus, born September 28, 1811.

VII. Edward Carr, our subject's father, was born February 4, 1794, at Burlington, N. J., and, having accompanied his parents to Wayne county, engaged in early manhood in farming in Canaan township. In 1845 he removed to Waymart, where his death occurred in December, 1870, his remains being interred in the cemetery at that place. He was noted for his generosity, being held in high esteem among all classes in the community. On June 13, 1812, he was married in Canaan town- ship, to Miss Phoebe Laport, who died Novem- ber 7, 1823. On August 3. 1824, he married Miss Caroline Hudson, who was born April 26, 1805, at 20

VIII. Judge Carr was born June 25, 1827, at the old homestead in Canaan township, Wayne county, and during his boyhood had the advan- tage of life upon a farm, his education being ob- tained in the local schools. At the age of fifteen he began clerking for Dimock & Carr in their store at Canaan Corners, and later he taught school for a time. In 1846 he went to Waymart, to clerk for his brother, whom he finally succeeded in busi- ness, and for many years he was a leading merchant of that place. From his youth he has taken keen interest in public affairs, and his ability brought him into prominence at an early age. For twenty years (from 1860 to 1880) he was postmaster at Waymart, and in 1887 he was elected prothonotary and clerk of courts of Wayne county, his efficiency and fidelity so impressing the people that he was again chosen to that office in 1890. In the fall of 1894 he was elected associate judge of his county, a position for which he is eminently qualified. In 1887 he removed to Honesdale, in the spring of 1895, however, returning to Waymart, where he has since resided. In politics he is a stanch Re- publican, and socially he and his family are identi- fied with the best circles in this section. He has been a member of the I. O. O. F. since 1856, and in 1857 he united at Waymart with the Masonic Fraternity, in which he has attained the third degree.

On April 26, 1855, Mr. Carr was married, at Waymart, by Rev. Mr. Bosworth, a Presbyterian minister, to Miss Helen Augusta Corey, who was born January 22, 1832, near Newburgh, N. Y., daughter of John Corey, a prominent citizen of Orange county, N. Y. She died July 20, 1868, at Waymart, and her mortal remains now rest in the cemetery there. On March 12, 1879, Judge Carr
