SAMUEL E. WOODRUFF was born in North Coventry, Conn., March 31, 1817, and died at his residence in Erie City April 15, 1881. His father, Rev. Ephraim T. Woodruff, was a Presbyterian Minister, and a nephew of Gov. Treadwell, through whose kind offices he received his collegiate training at Yale and Andover Seminaries. His mother, Sally Alden, was a lineal descendant of Capt. John Alden. He removed from Connecticut with his parents to Trumbull Co., Ohio, where he remained until sixteen, when he entered Hamilton College, New York. He subsequently studied law in Cincinnati, and was ad- mitted to practice in 1841 by an Examining Committee, of which Hon. S. P. Chase and Judge Walker were members. Locating at Girard, Erie Co., Penn., in 1844, he applied himself to the practice of his profession, making sure advances in the direction of the suc- cess he afterward attained in so large a degree. In 1847 he was married to Miss Eliza Sterrett. His election as District Attorney in 1850, afforded an opportunity in a wider field for the display of his legal talents, and enhanced his reputation at the bar. In 1867, upon nomination of Chief Justice Chase, he received the appointment of Register in Bankruptcy, which position he held until the repeal of the bankrupt law. In 1870 he was the unani- mons nominee of his party in Erie Co. at the primary election for President Judge of the Sixth Judicial District. In 1872 he changed his residence from Girard to Erie, and there- after gave special attention to the increasing demands of his profession, but by no means ignored social claims and questions affecting the general welfare. He was an active mem- ber of the First Presbyterian Church. Useful objects of every nature had his cordial co- operation. In politics he was a thorough Republican, and actively participated in contests between the two great parties. Among his professional brethren he was highly esteemed; entire sincerity distinguished his career; positive, courteous, firm, yet tolerant, uncom- promisingly opposed to all wrong, were elements of his character that made him a strong, influential and useful citizen. Mr. Woodruff's surviving family consists of his widow and two daughters-Mary and Sarah, who occupy the family residence on State Street, this city-and his son-Thomas S., located at Fargo, Dak., in the practice of law.

DR. MARY A. B. WOODS, physician and surgeon, Erie, was born and reared in Crawford Co., Penn. Her father, Isaac Brooks, was a son of Samuel Brooks, who was an early pioneer farmer of Crawford Co., and a descendant of a pioneer family of the State. The subject of this sketch early manifested marked intellectual talents, and at fifteen, after receiving a good education, began teaching in her native county. She was very reputably connected with this profession until, at the age of twenty-three, she was married to James R. Woods, a merchant of Linesville. In 1864 they removed to Erie, where he continued in mercantile interests until his death, which occurred March 20, 1876. He was buried by the A. O. U. W. and K. of P. societies, of which he had been an active member for several years. In 1860 Mrs. Woods began to study medicine, and in 1861 entered the Western Homeopathic College at Cleveland, from which institution she graduated very creditably in 1864. After her location here she began to practice her profession, special- izing the treatment and cure of diseases of women and children. She has by dint of per- sistent industry secured for herself a well-acknowledged prominence in her profession here. She has a family of two sons and a daughter: Arthur A., physician and surgeon, Erie; Frank E., on the reportorial staff of the Daily Observer; and Carrie J., now Mrs. E. P. Bush, of Chicago.

CHARLES B. WUENSCHEL, book-keeper and clerk, Erie, was born in this city in 1858, and educated at Erie Academy.

His widow is still living in Erie City. Our subject was married, in 1879, to Maggie B., daughter of J. T. Sevin, who was a teacher in Erie schools for nine years before her marriage. To this union were born two children-Flora E. and Char- lotte M.

JOHN YOUNGS, brickmaker and farmer, Erie, was born in Mill Creek Township, this county, July 2, 1832, only son of Daniel Youngs, a native of New York, the mother a native of Ohio, and both of English descent.

HON. SAMUEL M. BRAINERD was born in Conneaut Township, Erie Co., Penn., Nov. 13, 1842; son of Samuel and Olive L. Brainerd. Samuel M., our subject, was born and reared on a farm, where he remained until twenty-one years of age. Up to this period his advantages for education had been limited, having only attended the common schools in his neighborhood. Being anxious to secure a better education, he removed to Edinboro, Penn., and engaged in other business, having to rely on his own exertions to pay the ex- penses of a course of instruction which he took in the State Normal School at that place. After leaving that institution, he commenced reading law with the Hon. Geo. H. Cutler, of Girard, Penn., finishing his reading with Wm. Benson, in Erie. He was admitted to the bar of Erie Co. in 1869, since which time he has devoted his energies to the practice of his profession with marked success. He was elected to the office of District Attorney for Erie Co. in the fall of 1872, in which capacity he served for the full term of three years. In politics he is an ardent Republican, and has always taken an active part in all the polit- ical contests in the county; was chairman of the Republican County Committee during the year 1880. In 1882 he received the Republican nomination for Congress in the 27th Con- gressional District of Pennsylvania, composed of the counties of Erie, Warren and Ven- ango, and was elected by a majority of about 1,000 votes. As an evidence of his personal popularity, it can be said that while the Democratic candidate for Governor, Mr. Pattison, carried Erie Co. by over 500 majority, Mr. Brainerd had a majority of over 800 at the same election. He took his seat in Congress in Dec., 1883, and during his first session accom- plished more than all other members for the past fifteen years. Notably : an appropria- tion of $50,000 for Erie Harbor, a favorable report from Committee for $150,000 addition- al for our public building; restored the land light-house, and secured an appropriation for the re-purchase of the property on which it stands; introduced a bill for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, which was favorably reported by the House Committee on Military Affairs; introduced a bill to equalize compensation for letter carriers and officers of the first and second class; also a bill for the payment of unpaid bounties to veterans who were pro- moted after the last enlistment; besides a large number of private bills for securing sol- diers their pensions and back pay. He gave the interests of disabled soldiers his personal attention, and many cases were determined successfully which had been pending for sev- eral years, and abandoned as hopeless by the parties interested. Mainly through his efforts the discordant elements in the Republican party were so successfully united that he re- ceived the unanimous vote of the party in Erie Co. for his re-nomination for Congress. He represented the district in so satisfactory and successful a manner that many in the opposite party would have been greatly pleased had he been returned for another term .
