and, in connection with the work of improvement and cultivation, he followed carpentering for thirty years, but since 1892 has lived retired from active labor, enjoying the fruits of his former toil. For some time he and his son, Stephen J., successfully engaged in the sawmill business, and in most of his undertakings he has prospered, so that he now has a comfortable competence. Politically he is a sup- porter of the men and measures of the Republican party, and religiously he is a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is widely known and universally respected, and has a host of friends throughout his native county.


On January 9, 1845, in Bradford county, Penn., Mr. Terry married Miss Sarah J. Bishop, who was born in Port Jervis, N. Y., November 8, 1824. Her parents, Israel and Bethany ( Wright ) Bishop, were natives of New Jersey and New York, respectively, and were early settlers of Bradford county, where the father followed lumbering until liis death. The children born to our subject and his wife were Israel B. and Stephen J., both farmers of Rush town- ship; Albert, a lumberman of the same township; Lovisa, wife of Warren Granger, a wagon maker and stock raiser of Dubois, Idaho; Mary, wife of William L. Gibbs, a lumberman of Rush township; and Frances, wife of William Van Gorder, of Scranton, Penn. The wife and mother was called to her final rest November 12, 1892.


STEPHEN J. TERRY, son of Jonathan C. Terry, and a prominent farmer and lumberman of Rush township, was born at Standing Stone, Bradford Co., Penn., April 19, 1848, and was reared on the home farm. On leaving the parental roof, at the age of twenty years, he went to Fremont, Neb., where he engaged in carriage making for six years. On his return to Susquehanna county he embarked in farming in Rush township, and has also become interested in lumbering, owning and operating a portable sawmill. He is a man of good business ability, enterprising and progressive, and is now the possessor of valuable property. He has held several minor offices in his township, and in 1896 was elected justice of the peace, which position he is now most creditably and satisfactorily filling. So- cially he is a member of Le Raysville Lodge No. 471, F. & A. M., and politically he is identified with the Republican party.


Stephen J. Terry was married, in Bradford county, May 17, 1873, to Miss Anna Lanpher, and to them has been born one daughter, Mollie, who is at home. Mrs. Terry was born in Bradford county, December 2, 1856, a daughter of John and Candis ( Platt ) Lanpher, also natives of that county. The father was born December 8, 1825, and throughout his active business life followed the blacksmith's trade, but is now living retired in Sayre, Penn. The mother was born January 20, 1827; and died De- cember 30, 1893, being laid to rest at Wysox, Brad- ford county. She was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a most estimable


lady. The children of the family were Polly, de- ceased ; Pluma, who married Albert Terry, a broth- er of our subject, and died May 28, 1880; Stella, deceased ; Anna, wife of our subject; Nancy, de- ceased wife of James Nicholson ; Daniel, a resident of Sayre; Sarah, deceased; Mary, deceased wife of William Emory; and John F., deceased. Mrs. Terry's grandparents were Joshua and Margrette ( Benjamin) Lanpher, and Ephraim and Polly (Tuttle) Platt, all farming people of Bradford county.


. JOHN S. GARRETT, deceased, was for many years one of the most prominent, enterprising and reliable business men of Wayne county. He made good use of his opportunities, prospered from year to year, conducted all business matters carefully and successfully, and in all his acts displayed an apti- tude for successful management. A native of Wayne county, Mr. Garrett was born in Berlin town- ship. in 1833, a son of John and Patience Garrett. His grandfather, who also bore the name of John Garrett, was a native of England. and on coming to the United States located at Smith Hill, Berlin Centre, Wayne Co., Penn., where he reared a large family. The children of John and Patience Gar- .rett were Elizabeth, wife of Mark Compton, of Berlin : Eunice, wife of William Noble, of Damas- cus, Wayne county; John S .; Shepherd ; Phoebe ; Henry, and Lyman.


Upon his father's farm in Berlin township the subject of this sketch made his home until reach- ing manhood, and when a boy. through his own energy and perseverance, he succeeded in working his way upward as a boatman on the Delaware & Hudson canal until he became owner of a boat. He carried coal and commerce between Honesdale and Rondout, and before retiring from that business was the owner of several boats and had built up an extensive trade. In 1856 he bought 100 acres of wild land in Berlin township and commenced to clear and improve the tract, making a home for his young wife. About this time he sold his interest in the boating business. and gave his farm his entire at- tention during the summer months. while during the spring of the year he was engaged in lumbering on the Delaware river for a number of ycars. He placed lis land under a high state of cultivation. and made many excellent improvements thereon in the way of buildings until he had one of the most attractive and desirable places in the township.


In 1856 Mr. Garrett married Miss Elizabeth Braman, of Berlin township. Her parents, Rhoads and Catharine Braman. were originally from Otsego county. N. Y., where they reared their family, but spent their last days in Berlin township, Wayne Co., Penn. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Garrett arc as follows: ( 1) Katie, born in 1859, married William Triveton, of Berlin, by whom she has sons. Rexford.

Politically Mr. Garrett was always identified with the Democratic party, and as one of the most prominent and influential citizens of Berlin town- ship, he was often called upon to accept public of- fice. In religious belief he was a Baptist, belong- ing to the Church at Berlin Centre, of which his wife is a leading member. Their youngest son, John N., is a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge at Scranton, and also of the American Protective As- sociation. In the spring of 1894 Mr. Garrett was stricken with pneumonia, and after one week of suffering departed this life, leaving many friends as well as his immediate family to mourn his loss.

His wife, who is a most estimable lady, is now suc- cessfully managing the estate.


THOMAS WASHINGTON QUINTIN. one of the leading agriculturists and substantial men of Lake township, Wayne county, whose interest and enthusiasm in his present honorable calling seem not in the least dimmed by the lapse of years, though he is now beyond man's allotted three score and ten, is a representative of one of the old families of Bucks county, Pennsylvania.


Thomas Quintin, our subject's great-grandia- ther, and wife. Mary, were residents of Ireland.

CLARENCE E. FOSTER, M. D. In enter- ing upon a professional carecr, there are many ob- stacles to overcome that only faithful devotion and earnest purpose can surmount. After making the choice of a profession, the question of location be- comes an important one, and when a young man decides to cast mns lot among his own friends and neighbors the up-hill struggle is even a more difficult one. "A Proplict is not without honor save in his own country," and all praise is due him who stead- fastly battles his way to the front, and by fidelity of purpose wins new laurels, and adds new honors to the family namc. Such a onc is Clarence E. Foster, who was born June 20, 1857, a son of Josiah and Elizabeth ( Schofield) Foster. The Foster fam- ily dates back in America to 1635, the year of the arrival of Christopher Foster, who was born in 1603.


Josiah Foster, born January 8, 1815. died Sep- tember 12, 1879. He resided in Honesdale from 1827, and during his youth attended the common schools, while assisting in the work at the tannery, farm and store. On the withdrawal of his father


from business he took charge of the tannery, while his brother I. N. conducted the store, and Will- iam H. managed the farm. After a few years he sold out to his brothers and retired. Ile was a con- sistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and although he was never a politician he was a stanch Republican ; he was one of the original stockholders of the First National Bank, and remained one until his death. On September 7, 1853, he was married to Miss Elizabetu Schofield, who was born Novem- ber 5. 1823, and is still living. Their children were: Elizabeth, born June 17, 1854, died August 6, 1854; William M., born September 15, 1855, is a drug- gist, and resides in Honesdale : Clarence E. is men- tioncd below; Alice, born October 21, 1860, died December 27, 1861; Mary D., born February 8, 1865, married W. J. Ward.


Clarence E. Foster was educated in the public schools of Honesdale, graduating in 1875, with the first class that ever received diplomas from the high . school there. Three years later he began the study of medicine with Dr. C. A. Dusinberre, of Hones- dale, and in the fall of 1878 he entered Columbia Medical College, New York City, where he was graduated in 1881. He remained for a time in the metropolis, taking practical work as interne in the Chambers Street Hospital and the New York Hos- pital, on Fifteenth street, and in 1882 he located at Honesdale, where he has since been successfully engaged in practice. His talent and skill, together with his personal worth, have made his a notable career, and in addition to a large general practice he is now the surgeon for the Delaware & Hudson railroad, and examiner for most of the leading life insurance companies. He is thoroughly progres- sive, and is identified with the Lackawanna County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, and the American Medical Association. In 1898 he was delegate from the Lackawanna County Medical Society to the State Society, at Lancaster, and in every way has taken an active interest in the progress of the medical profession.


On October 20, 1888, Dr. Foster was married to Miss Georgia B. Osborn, who was born in 1860, in Wayne county, and died November 1, 1889, leav- ing one son, George Osborn, born October 26, 1889. She was a daughter of Col. George B. and Matilda ( Mumford ) Osborn. the former of whom was a colonel in the Civil war. and has also served as treasurer of Wayne county, where he still resides. On October 2. 1895, the Doctor formed a second union, with Miss May S. Mason, who was born April 16, 1873, a daughter of James B. and Clara ( Shaw) Mason. of Scranton, Penn., where the for- mer is an extensive lumber manufacturer. They have one son, Clarence Mason, born June 4, 1899. Socially the Doctor is very popular, being connected with the Exchange Social and Literary Club. Hones- dale, of which he served as director during 1893 and 1899, and has been elected president for 1900; and with the I. O. R. M., Oslek Tribe No. 318, of

Honesdale, in which he is trustee, having served as such for several years. His beautiful home, fac- ing the park, is surrounded with all the comforts of life, and, presided over by his gracious wife, is ever the scene of much social enjoyment.


The Doctor is thoroughly progressive and pub- lic-spirited, being always in sympathy with any movement which promises benefit to the commun- ity. In politics he is a stanch Republican, and in 1895 was elected coroner, for three years, by the largest majority of any man on the ticket ; he was re-elected in 1898. He is an ex-member of the Na- tional Guard of Pennsylvania, and is also an hon- orary member of the local fire department. Both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. Wherever there is sorrow or sickness the Doctor is found a willing helper, his broad charity recognizing his duty to his fellow man, and liis noble nature meeting, never shrinking, the re- sponsibility.


WILLIAM C. CRUSER, proprietor and editor of the Montrose Democrat, a sparkling newspaper which owes its success largely to the management of our subject, was born in Bridgewater township, Susquehanna county, January 9, 1855, son of Henry and Julia (Jones) Cruser, and grandson of Bela Jones, a pioneer of Bridgewater township, whose name is perpetuated in Jones Lake, of that township.


Henry Cruser was born near Monmouth, N. J., in 1811. There in his youth he entered a carding mill and thoroughly acquired the trade. Learning that a carding mill was in operation in Susquehanna county, he traveled there and found employment in the mill of Bela Jones, located in Bridgewater township at the outlet of Jones Lake, one mile east of Montrose. Bela Jones was an enterprising pio- neer, who, in 1810, settled 'on the lake which now bears his name. He migrated from Colchester. New London Co., Conn., where he had been en- gaged in milling work. Perceiving that a carding mill could be operated successfully in his new home ne decided to embark in the enterprise of its con- struction. The necessary machinery had to be brought from Connecticut. It was no easy task, but Mr. Jones secured the assistance of an enter- prising man, and together they brought the machin- ery part of the way on horseback through the woods from Connecticut, a task which many de- clared would be impossible. With Joseph Backus as assistant, Mr. Jones completed the mill at the outlet of the lake in 1814. Mr. Jones subsequently erected a gristmill and a sawmill, and became one of the most prominent citizens of Susquehanna county. In politics he was a Democrat, and pos- sessing a fluent speech and great common sense he was often called upon to preside at public meet- ings. Ile was a teacher in the Academy in 1818- 19, was town clerk in 1816, took the census of Sus- quehanna county in 1820, and was State representa- tive in 1833 and 1835. He married Polly, sister of Nathan Brewster, and to them were born three


children-Julia, wife of Henry Cruser: Louise. wife of John Chapman; and Betsy, wife of Albert Way of Binghamton. To Henry and Julia ( Jones ) Cruser were born the following children: Mary. now Mrs. Wall of Montrose: Fannie, wife of R. Dean, of Wilkes Barre, Penn .; Bela Jones, of Roch- ester, N. Y. ; D. H., of Towanda, Penn. ; and Will- iam C., the subject of this sketch.


William C. Cruser received his education at the Montrose Academy, and then learned the printing business. On January 1, 1873, at the age of eight- een years, he became foreman of the office of the Montrose Democrat; and April I of the same year purchased a half-interest in the paper from E. B. Hawley, its publisher. Six years later, in 1879, he sold his interest to Mr. Hawley and took a trip to the West, and while there purchased at Kear- ney, Neb., a tract of land as an investment. Re- turning to Montrose, he was not engaged in busi- ness till March, 1881, when, in connection with Daniel Brewster, he purchased the Democrat from Mr. Hawley, whose health was failing. Mr. Brew- ster disposed of his interest in 1883 to MI. A. Lyon, who in the same year sold to Hon. George A. Post. who subsequently ( 1889) sold it to Mr. Cruser, who since then has been sole proprietor and pub- lisher. When Mr. Cruser first became connected with the Democrat its circulation was 1, 100. He canvassed the county for subscriptions and so pushed the paper and its circulation that it was afterward raised to over 2,500. He writes both the editorial and local departments of the paper, and also has some reputation as a writer of verses. He has from time to time increased his property in- vestments in the West by the purchase of farm lands in Nebraska and Dakota, some of them being annually in crop. Mr. Cruser is a member of the M. E. Church and fraternally is connected with the I. O. O. F., the Heptasophs, and the Knights of Pythias.


In October, 1876, he married Augusta Pettis, daughter of S. A. and Elizabeth Pettis, of Mont- rose, and to our subject and wife have been born seven children: Julia E., a graduate of the Mont- rose high school and a student at Wyoming Semi- nary ( she is a gifted elocutionist) ; Ray Dresser and William P., who are both with their father in the Democrat office; Pauline; Frances ; Helen and Dorothy.


In 1896 Mr. Cruser received the unanimous support of Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties for the Democratic Congressional nomina- tion in this ( 15th) district, but the political situa- tion was such that it seemed best that the nomina- tion that year should go to a Bradford county man, and at a conference held at Tunkhannock Mr. Cru- ser offered to stand aside. Ile takes great in- terest in the affairs of the Susquehanna County Historical Society, the organization of which so- ciety was first suggested by hint through his news- paper.


Mr. Cruser has a taste for "matters agricul-

tural," and for the rearing of fine stock. For many years he had in mind the project of going West, to establish a cattle and horse raneh on lands he owns there, but his varied interests in Susque- hanna county, including his newspaper, were such as to prevent his putting this plan into execution. In lieu of it he purchased a fine farm elose to Mont- rose, where he raises registered horses, registered cattle, registered Shropshire sheep, registered An- gora goats, etc .- the place being known as the "Suburban Stock Farm." He is a warm supporter of the Susquehanna County Agricultural Society, and of enterprises looking toward the bettering of the agriculturists of his locality, such as the canning factory. ete., and anything that promises good re- sults for the farmers as a class. He also assisted materially, through his paper and otherwise, toward securing the L. & M. railroad for Montrose.


IRA W. RYDER (deceased) was a prominent merchant and postmaster at Union Dale, Susque- hanna Co., Penn., at the time of his death, on De- cember 30, 1896, when he was sixty-two years of age. He was a native of Pleasant Mount, Wayne Co., Penn., and a son of Peter and Mary ( Ledyard) Ryder, the former a native of Newburg, N. Y., the latter of Connecticut. When young they removed with their respective parents to Wayne county, Penn., where Peter Ryder followed farming throughout his active business life. He died in 1866, aged sixty-seven years, his wife in 1879, aged seventy-eight years, and both were buried in Sher- wood cemetery, Mt. Pleasant. Their children were Amanda E., who died at the age of four years; Girden. who died in intaney ; Miranda E., who mar- ried Albert Thorngs, and died in March, 1887; and Ira W. and Sarah A., twins, the latter of whom is now the widow of Elias Westgate; and a resident of Union Dale.
