MEN OF PROGRESS.
The predictions made upon his return have proved prophetic. A large business was opened up in the South. The operations of his office extended rapidly through the New England and Middle states, the Southwest and Canada. In 1883 the office employed thirty-seven draughtsmen ; twenty- seven mills were in process of treatment, of which eleven were new plants, and sixteen in course of re-organization. During the twelve years pre- ceding, more than twenty young men (many of them graduates of technological schools) had been trained through a three-years apprenticeship, a system which proved of great value. These young men are now employed in important work through the country, while several of them are occupying positions of large responsibility. The honor and pride of the training of such a corps of young men constitute some of his most pleasant memories. In the presence of such conditions as above recited, Mr. Thompson was induced in 1883 to give up his profession, and enter the service of Messrs. B. B. & R. Knight as General Manager of their mills, em- bracing all of the properties except the Hebron Manufacturing Company. The capacity of the mills in 1883 was one hundred and eighty thousand spin- dles. He continued in the management for a period of twelve years, during which the business extended to four hundred and twenty-one thousand spindles and twelve thousand six hundred looms, employing seven thousand persons. Their property comprised seventeen villages in Rhode Island and Massachu- setts, twenty-one mills, a bleachery and print works. The production of the bleachery was twenty-two tons of goods per day, and this large amount was but sixty per cent. of the product of the mills. Mr. Thompson resigned in May 1894, to take effect January 1, 1895. In May 1894 the property of the Corliss Steam Engine Company was pur- chased of the heirs of the late George H. Corliss, and in the re-organization Mr. Thompson was elected President and Treasurer. His associates in the directory are men of great prominence, and widely known as practical and financial man- agers of many of the most prominent mechanical works in New England. In the face of an un- paralleled business depression the works of the Corliss Steam Engine Company resumed operations. The year 1895 witnessed a larger production and output than ever before in the history of the works. Mr. Thompson's management is recognized, in view of the times, to be remarkably successful. Many improvements have been made involving large
expenditures. One of the most marked is doubtless his invention of a new type of boiler, patents for which have been issued to him in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France and Belgium. It has been subjected to a large number of tests by disin- terested experts of high reputation, and the results obtained are recognized by all as phenomenal, exceeding anything heretofore known of which there is reliable and authentic record. It now appears only a question of a restoration of healthful business conditions, when this famous and world-renowned plant will take its position as in former times when under the direction of its illustrious founder. The responsibilities of large business interests have for many years been such as to preclude the accept- ance of political honors, which have been often tendered. He has taken a deep interest in the welfare of the city of Providence, where he has resided for the past twenty-four years, and is recog- nized as a factor of influence, and an earnest promoter of all just measures for public improve- ment. He was the projector of the Greenwich- street improvements and Elmwood-avenue boule- vard. His exposition of the above subject, coupled with a review of the progress and improvement of many modern cities, published in 1889, in a voluminous pamphlet, accomplished its purpose, re- moved the objections which had stood as barriers for years, and awakened a liberal spirit, the evi- dence of which is apparent in the extensive works since undertaken and now in progress. A second edition of three thousand copies was called for, five hundred of which were distributed largely at request for municipal and public libraries throughout the country. It was widely noticed by the press, notably by the Boston Herald in November 1889, and was pronounced by Frederick Law Olmsted (a gentleman of national reputation) as one of the best presentations of the subject that he had ever seen. In 1891 a joint resolution of the City Council had been presented to the General Assembly, asking for the enactment of a bill per- mitting the city of Providence to borrow four million dollars for public improvements. The natural spirit of conservatism, supplemented by local disturbance and difference of opinion among prominent leaders, stood as an inflexible barrier. At the request of the Mayor, Mr. Thompson engaged in the work at once. He called a meeting of the executive committee of the Advance Club. His urgent appeal secured the support of this committee (composed of fifteen prominent citizens), and laid
273
MEN OF PROGRESS.
the foundation of subsequent effort in harmonizing serious opposition. He then called a meeting of the club, and his address upon that occasion, en- titled " The Crisis," was unanimously endorsed. A thousand copies were ordered printed and dis- tributed to the City Council, and to leading and prominent citizens of influence in the city and state. A committee of prominent members of the club presented the address and resolu- tions to the General Assembly, and secured a prompt enactment of the important measure. Mr. Edwin P. Dawley, chief of the engineering department, Providence Division, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Consolidated Railroad, says : " The change in terminal plans for the pur- pose of widening Francis street, from eighty feet as first determined to one hundred feet as now being executed, was due to Mr. Thompson's recommen- dation and earnest personal advocacy." The above indicates very briefly the deep interest he has taken in all measures intended to advance the material interests of his adopted city and state. He has for many years taken a deep interest in technical edu- cation, and has been especially desirous for the establishment of a technological school which should give prominence to the technics of the tex- tile industry. In company with several prominent citizens, a charter was secured for the purpose. Fourteen business organizations and Boards of Trade of the state were induced to co-operate. Five delegates from each were appointed to com- pose a general committee into whose hands the interests of this great work was placed. At the in- vitation of this committee, Mr. Thompson prepared an address which set forth clearly and at length the objects and purposes of the enterprise. The paper was published and distributed throughout the state, and awakened a deep interest; but owing to the serious financial conditions the work of the com- mittee has been suspended. He was the founder of the Advance Club, and its first President for three years, and is a member of many social and business organizations. He is a Free Mason, raised in Solomon's Temple Lodge in Saccarappa, Maine, in 1867. The foregoing is but a brief outline of a busy life. Mr. Thompson has been an active and indefatigable worker, versatile in resources, of tre- mendous nervous power and energy. He has had a wide and remarkable experience of great diversity. He is widely known throughout the country, and to nearly all engaged in manufacturing interests. Commencing business life at a very early age, he
has done forty years of work averaging not less than sixteen hours a day. As will be seen from the recent portrait herewith, he is yet young, full of vigor, in the prime of an active life, which gives promise of yet long years of great usefulness. Mr. Thompson was married, January 16, 1858, to Anna J. Hanners, of Great Falls, daughter of Thomas and Jane Hanners (both deceased) ; they have had two children : Lydia Ella (deceased), and Emma Frances, married to Daniel J. Sully, October I, 1885. Mr. and Mrs. Sully reside in Providence, and have three children : Anna Beth, Kenneth Moulton and Gladys Lee Sully.
WEST, GEORGE J., Lawyer, Providence, was born in that city, in 1852, son of John and Catherine (Cavanagh) West, and died July 21,

1896. He acquired his early education in the public schools, and graduated front Brown University in 1876. From college he entered the Law School of Boston University. Graduating in 1878, he opened an office and commenced practice in Providence. Later, his brothers Ambrose E. and Thomas F. were associated with him. The former died in 1894. Mr. West early established a reputation as an advo-
274
MEN OF PROGRESS.
cate of superior ability, and especially in the depart- ment of criminal law he soon won a position and fame which placed him in the front rank of his pro- fession. At the time of his death, which unexpected and untoward event occurred in the midst of a brilliant career full of even greater future promise, he was universally recognized as the foremost crim- inal lawyer of Rhode Island, if not of New England, although his practice did not extend beyond the limits of his own state. His talents and abilities were not confined, however, to the criminal branch of his profession, as in all respects he was a persis- tent student, widely read and possessing an amazing fund of general information, an acute lawyer, and a brilliant and magnetic advocate. Before a jury, he had few equals and no superiors, and even among his competitors in the legal profession, it is the belief of many that he was without a peer in the art of fascinating and capturing the twelve men that are selected to render a decision in mat- ters of litigation. One of the first criminal trials in which Mr. West figured was that of the noto- rious "Spiker" Murphy, now serving a life term in the Rhode Island State Prison at Cranston. His opponent on the side of the State was Judge Horatio Rogers, then Attorney-General, and Judge Rogers asserted that a harder fight for the acquittal of a prisoner was never within his experience. The skill, ingenuity and forensic ability displayed by Mr. West in that case astonished members of the Bar, who until then were not aware of his mental stature or his grasp of his vocation. He stepped into celebrity at once, and since that memorable con- test has been regarded as the Abe Hummel of Rhode Island jurisprudence. Mr. West again came into prominence in his defence of Yankee Dan Sullivan, and was defeated in that case only because Sullivan made a fatal admission, or stumble, on the witness stand. Mr. West's victories won in the trials of Ernest Whitaker and Dr. Hale are fresh in the recollections of the people of Rhode Island. In the latter case particularly, did his superb accomplishments and wonderful fertility of mind undergo a most telling exemplification. The doctors on the side of the prosecution confessed that they never ran against so dangerous a cross- questioner, or one who seemed to know the medical books from Alpha to Omega as he did. In the civil departments of the courts also, Mr. West scored many notable triumphs. One of these was the famous Burnham case against the Railroad, in which he got four successive verdicts, for
seventy-five hundred, eight thousand, eleven thou- sand, and twenty thousand, dollars respectively. After the first verdict, the Supreme Court granted the railroad new trials, and while preparing to raise the ad damnum to thirty thousand dollars, Mr. West agreed to a liberal settlement with the road. The cases growing out of the railroad accident at Lonsdale were also handled with exceptional cleverness by Mr. West, who established the point upon which all of those pieces of litigation turned. He was connected with the celebrated Wash- burn-Moen case, in which he was paid by Doc. Wilson a retainer that has rarely been equalled. He participated in the contest over the will of Judge Eli Aylsworth, and it was in a large measure due to his masterly efforts that the will was broken by the jury. Corporations came to consider him one of the most dangerous antagonists they could meet, learning to dread the appearance of his name on a writ, and it is within the knowledge of many attorneys that sooner than risk a battle before a jury with George J. West, they would gladly settle for a round sum. Mr. West's income from his practice was very large. He owned a number of pieces of valuable real estate, but never went into speculation in any other form, devoting his business life almost wholly to his profession. As a lawyer he was an indefatigable laborer, toiling both night and day ; and perhaps quite as much to his assiduity with his law books and reports, as to his native quickness and ability, was due his many noteworthy achievements before the bar of justice. He could see into difficulties with a directness of perception and a thoroughness of comprehension that excited the admiration of his brother barristers. He was not given to deciding a question off hand, but bent to its consideration all of his energy and attainments, often working for days and weeks over a point he desired to emphasize, and then coming into court fortified with authority after authority and reason after reason until his opposing counsel began to think he was a perfect cyclopedia of legal information. He was eminently faithful to his clients, who always trusted him implicitly, and when he had laid down their cases they had the satisfaction of knowing that there was absolutely nothing more that could be done for them. In Mr. West's untimely removal by death, the bar of the state, and the city that was his home, have suffered an irreparable loss. He was closely in touch with the people in many ways, and was particularly serviceable to them in defending their rights against the real or fancied encroachments of
275
MEN OF PROGRESS.
corporations ; was one of the staunchest and most valuable friends of the public schools ; and was actively prominent in all matters relative to the fostering of Catholic institutions. He was a member of the School Board of Providence from 1888 until his death, and in 1885-6 was a Repre- sentative in the Rhode Island General Assembly. In politics Mr. West was a Democrat, and had served as a member of the Democratic City and State Central committees. He was twice married, his first wife passing away a short time after their union. His second marriage was in 1881, to Miss Hyde, of Providence, by whom he had seven children. He was very fond of his home and family, and although a member of many societies of a social and literary character, he devoted a large share of his time to the home circle. Mr. West died abroad, whither he had gone with his family on a tour of pleasure and health-recuperation, the event taking place in Aughnacloy, Ireland, from the effects of a cold contracted during a period of cold and stormy weather in crossing the Isrih sea. His remains were brought home on the steamship Servia, which also brought the Ancient and Hon- orable Artillery Company of Boston, who had been his fellow-passengers on the same steamer a few weeks before. An escort of honor, detailed by the city government and various societies of Providence, accompanied the body from Boston to that city, where two days latter the funeral was held in the Cathedral, attended by an immense concourse of neighbors, business and professional acquaintances, representatives of the Bench and the Bar, the city and state governments, various societies, and citi- zens generally, assembled to pay their tributes of reverence and sorrow to the memory of the departed lawyer, their sincere friend and conscientious advocate.
WHEATON, FRANCIS LEVISON, M. D., of Provi- dence, was born in Providence October 27, 1804, son of Dr. Levi and Martha (Burrill) Wheaton, and died January 20, 1896. His early education was acquired in the public schools of his native city, and his studies for his profession included attend- ance at the Medical School of Brown University, and lectures in Boston. He received a further val- uable training as assistant to his brother, Dr. Walter Wheaton, Surgeon of the Second Regiment U. S. A., from the age of seventeen to twenty, and in 1824 he accompanied the regiment under command of Colonel Brady from Sackett's Harbor to Lake
Superior. Returning to Providence in that year he established himself as a physician and surgeon, and remained until May 1836, when he accepted an in- vitation to go to Pomfret, Conn., to take the place of Dr. Hubbard, physician and surgeon of that town. He returned to Providence in 1840 and practiced his profession there, excepting during his intervals of military service, until his retirement from age and failing health a few years since. During the Mexican War he accepted the position of Surgeon to the Ninth Regiment, U. S. A., and participated in the campaigns which resulted in the capture of the City of Mexico by General Scott. During the war of the Rebellion he served as Sur- geon to the First and Second Regiments, Rhode Island Volunteers. After the war he was appointed Surgeon-General of Rhode Island, and held that office for a number of years. Dr. Wheaton was a member of the Rhode Island Medical Society and the Providence Medical Association. He was mar- ried, August 3, 1828, to Miss Amelia Smith Burrill ; they had four children : George Burrill, Frank, William Levi and Henry Seth Wheaton. The second son is now Brigadier-General Frank Wheaton, United States Army.
WILLARD, CHARLES WELLS, Commissioner of Inland Fisheries for the state of Rhode Island, was born in Hartford, Conn., January 24, 1853, son of William Francis and Frances Griswold (Wells) Willard. He is descended on both sides in a direct line from one of the Colonial Governors of Connecticut - the seventh generation on the Willard side and the eighth on the Wells side from Governor Thomas Wells, who was born in England in 1570, and landed at Salem, Mass., June 24, 1629, five years before Simeon Willard, the paternal progenitor of Charles W., came to America ; he died at Wethers- field, Conn., and was one of the wealthiest and most prominent men of his time. Simeon Willard, son of Richard Willard of Kent, England, came over in 1634. Soon after his arrival he and his brother-in- law Captain Davis established themselves in Cam- bridge, where they owned adjoining lands on the Brighton side of the Charles River. Major Willard, as he afterwards became known, was one of the leaders in founding the town of Concord, Mass., on the site of the Indian village of Musketoguid. From him the subject of this sketch is descended. He was educated in the public and high schools of Hartford, and adopted a mercantile career. In

1878 he succeeded J. H. Porter, at Westerly, in the hardware trade, in the same building, 22-24 High street, in which he now occupies two stores and four floors for the requirements of his extensive business. Mr. Willard has served as Rhode Island
CHAS. W. WILLARD.
Commissioner of Inland Fisheries since 1894. He has always held aloof from accepting political or town offices, as interfering with his active business life, and he was led to accept the office of Fish Commissioner only by the inducements of his ex- treme love of fishing and his fondness for the study of the habits and culture of fishes. He is a char- ter member and was prominent in the organization of the Westerly Business Men's Association, a strong
body of practical business men occupying the entire second floor of the Porter & Loveland Building. He is also a Director in the Mechanics Savings Bank, and Vice-President of the Local Board of the Connecticut Savings Society. He is prominent in Masonry, being Worshipful Master of Franklin Lodge of Westerly, and Past Eminent Commander of Narragansett Commandery Knights Templar. He has also served since 1893 as a Trustee of Bowen Lodge Knights of Pythias. Mr. Willard was married, November 25, 1880, to Miss Minnie Porter of Westerly ; they have a daughter: Grace Porter Willard.
