BLODGETT, WILLIAM WINTHROP, lawyer, was born in Randolph, Vermont, July 8, 1824. He is the third son of Eli Blodgett, a respectable farmer of that town. Mr. Blodgett prepared for college at the Orange County Grammar School, in Randolph, and in 1843 entered the University of Vermont, at Burlington,

where he graduated with the highest honors, in 1847. After graduating, the same year, he became principal of the Academy at Kecne, New Hampshire, which position he filled for a few months, and then commenced the study of law with the late Hon. William P. Wheeler, in Keene. He afterward pursued his legal studies with the Hon. Isaac F. Redfield, then Chief Justice of Vermont, and in the office of Wires & Peck, in Burlington. In June, 1850, he was admitted to the bar in Orange County, Vermont. In Octo- ber, 1850, he removed to Pawtucket, then in Massachu- setts, and in November of the same year, was admitted to practice in all the courts of Massachusetts, by the Supreme Judicial Court, then sitting at New Bedford. He has con- tinued in the practice of law in Pawtucket to the present time, and has frequently been honored with offices of trust and responsibility. In 1859 and 1860 he represented the towns of Attleboro and Pawtucket in the Massachusetts Legislature. In 1861, the controversy, long pending be- tween the States of Massachusetts and Rhode Island con- cerning the eastern boundary of the latter State, culminated in a compromise line agreed upon by the counsel of the respective States and submitted to their Legislatures for ratification. The line so proposed was unsatisfactory to Rhode Island, being arbitrarily drawn without due regard to the natural line of division, and giving a decided ad- vantage to Massachusetts. The whole town of Pawtucket was retained in, and Fall River, Rhode Island, was trans- ferred to Massachusetts. The proposed line would have been rejected by the Legislature of Rhode Island. A new line was proposed by Mr. Blodgett to the Massachusetts Legislative Committee having charge of the business, by which the town of Pawtucket and only that part of the town of Seekonk which formed a suburb of the city of Providence, lying on the Providence and Pawtucket rivers, were transferred to the jurisdiction of Rhode Island, where they naturally belonged. This line was finally adopted, and on the first day of March, 1861, the town of Pawtucket, and that part of Seekonk now called East Providence, be- came a part of Rhode Island. On the day of the transfer, Mr. Blodgett was elected to the Rhode Island Senate. This was the first time in the history of the State in which a man was elected to that office on the day that he became a resident of the State, the Constitution requiring a resi- dence of at least one year as a qualification for that office. This was done upon the theory that the compromise did not establish new lines, but determined what had always been the true line of division between the two States. Since that time Mr. Blodgett has continued to practice his profession in the State of Rhode Island, and has many times represented the towns of Pawtucket and North Provi- dence in the Rhode Island Legislature. In 1868 he was elected Judge of Probate for North Providence, which office he held by annual election until 1874, when the vil- lage of Pawtucket was consolidated into one town under the same name. He continued to hold the office for Paw-

tucket until 1879, when he resigned. Mr. Blodgett has been for many years a member of St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church in Pawtucket, a member of the Diocesan Conven- tion, and of the Standing Committee of the Diocesc. In 1855 he married Salome W. Kinsley, of Pawtucket. They have one daughter, Ellen HI., and five sons, Edward W., Loyd Morton, John, Chauncey Hayden, and Kinsley. Their eldest son, Edward W., graduated from Vale College in 1878, and is now pursuing the study of law in his father's office.

ETCALF, COLONEL EDWIN, son of Joseph G. and 5OG Eveline (Houghton) Metcalf, was born in Prov- idence, Rhode Island, August 23, 1823. His father was widely and honorably known as a tanner and trader in leather. He had five children : Mary D., Edwin, George, Alfred, and Joseph HI. Edwin passed through the public schools of the city, and prepared for eol- lege in the private school of Oliver Angell, an estimable teacher, and the school of Thomas C. Hartshorn, a tutor of superior reputation. Entering Brown University he gradu- ated in 1842. In his class werc Professor A. H. Harkness, LL.D., Rev. H. M. Pierce, D.D., and Hon. A. S. Westcott. After studying law at the Cambridge Law School, Massaehu- setts, and in the offices of Charles F. Tillinghast and Charles S. Bradley, in Providence, he was admitted as an attorney and counsellor at law in the Rhode Island courts in 1844, and soon attained prominence in his profession. He was also engaged in the editorial rooms of the Providence Post and Herald, from 1854 to 1856. He previously held the po- sition of Clerk of the Supreme Court of Providence County, from 1851 to 1853. During the " Dorr War," in 1842, he was sergeant in the First Ward Company, of Providence, on duty at Woonsocket. When the Rebellion of the South began to manifest itself, he, with voice and pen, espoused the cause of his country. He was elected a member of the House of Representatives in May, 1861, and stood promi- nent in patriotic counsel till he felt moved to take the field. Having aided Governor Sprague in raising troops, he ac- cepted a commission, August 27, 1861, as major in the Third Rhode Island Regiment (Heavy Artillery). He moved with his command, by steamers to New York, and thence to Fortress Monroe, where, with the fleet under Commodore S. F. Dupont and General T. W. Sherman, he proceeded. to Port Royal, South Carolina, and was pres- ent .in the brilliant action of November 7, 1861, that re- sulted in the capture of Forts Walker and Beauregard, and the possession of the city of Beaufort and the neighboring islands. A portion of his regiment acted a brave and im- portant part in the eapture of Fort Pulaski, Georgia, April 10 and 11, 1862. He gallantly led his battalion in the severe battle of Secessionville, James Island, South Caro- lina, June 16, 1862, and received the highest praise of the commanding officers, one of whom wrote, " Certainly no officer could have led liis command with more skill and

bravery than did Major Metcalf." At the request of Gov- ernor Sprague he consented to leave the Third Regiment, in August, 1862, and accepted a commission as colonel of the Eleventh Rhode Island Regiment, with which he served in and near Washington, District of Columbia, from Sep- tember to November, 1862, when he returned to the Third Regiment as their colonel, and continued to serve in the Department of the South, at Hilton Head, St. Helena, Folly Island, James Island, Morris Island, and Fort Pu- laski, till January, 1864. On the expedition, undertaken in April, 1863, against Charleston, South Carolina, he was Acting Chief of Artillery. His services were often in dc- mand on boards of examination and courts-martial, and his ealmness, energy, judgment, and knowledge were highly appreciated by Generals Hunter and Gillmore. Returning from the field he resumed the practice of his profession, and again became prominent in municipal and State affairs. Again elected to the General Assembly, he was Speaker of the House in 1873 and 1874. He was elected Senator from Providence in 1874 and 1875. With voice and pen he served the State effectively, standing in the van of re- formative movements. Meanwhile his practice in the civil courts became very extensive in cases of the first import- anee. As a member of the Grand Army of the Republic he has been Commander of Prescott Post, No. I, and of the Department of Rhode Island. Officially, and with his pen, he has greatly aided the Soldiers' and Sailors' His- torical Society of Rhode Island, and some of his papers have been demanded for the press. In May, 1876, he united with the Pilgrim Congregational Church of Provi- dence, in which he holds an influential position, and per- forms worthy service. For years he has stood as a leader in the temperance movements of his native city, and gladly identifies himself with all public improvements. He mar- ried, in December, 1846, Eliza S. Atwell, daughter of Hon. Samuel Y. and Lydia S. Atwell, of Providence, and had two children : Frederick (born September 20, 1847), and Evelyn (born February, 1860). The mother died in June, 1863. In September, 1865, he married Anna Thayer, daughter of Moses and Sabra A. Thayer, of Charlestown, Massachusetts. His son Frederiek, leaving his studies in the High School in Providence, enlisted for the defence of his country, and was commissioned as second lieutenant in the Third Regi- ment, September 21, 1863. Joining the command, he served at Hilton Head and on the adjacent islands. He was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant, May 6, 1864, and efficiently served as adjutant of the post at Fort Pu- laski, Georgia, and in instructing the colored troops of the Department. Attacked by typho-malarial fever, he died in the Officers' Hospital at Beaufort, South Carolina, Au- gust 28, 1864, deeply lamented alike in the army and at home, as a talented, patriotic, generous, and brave young man. George Metcalf, born in Providence, Rhode Island, January 7, 1826, brother of Colonel Edwin, enlisted at the opening of the war in the First Rhode Island Detached

Militia, under General (then Colonel) Burnside, and re- vealed his coolness and valor July 21, 1861, on the plains of Manassas. He was appointed Second Lieutenant of the Third Regiment, October 9, 1861 ; promoted to First Lieu- tenant May 20, 1862; to Captain, July 8, 1862; and in November, 1863, was commissioned as Major. In this last rank, while effectively serving his immediate command, he was at times a valued officer of the staff of General Alfred H. Terry, as Assistant Chief of Artillery, and finally Chief of Artillery in the Northern District of the Department. His bravery and services on James Island and Morris Island deserve a conspicuous and enduring record. Though suffering keenly from a malarial disease incurred in the army, he is now (1881) the secretary and treasurer of the American Ship Windlass Company, in Providence, Rhode Island.

HEDON, REV. DANIEL AVERY, D.D., Presiding Elder of Providence District, of Providence Con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, son of Hiram and Margaret (Avery) Whedon, was born at Brantingham, Lewis County, New York, December 16, 1823. He received his preparatory educa- tion in the public schools and at the seminary in Cazenovia, New York, and graduated from Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, in 1845. In 1846 he entered the New England Conference, and at the end of the year was transferred to the Oneida (now known as Central New York) Conference, where he remained until 1866. On the 30th of July, 1848, he was ordained deacon, by Bishop E. S. Janes, at Owego, New York, and July 28, 1850, was ordained elder, by Bishop Beverly Waugh, at Honesdale, Pennsylvania. From 1858 to 1862 he was Presiding Elder of the Chenango District, New York. In 1862 and 1863 he was stationed at North Street Church, Auburn, New York, and in 1864 and 1865 was pastor of Bleecker Street Church, Utica, New York, his labors at both of these im- portant churches being attended with great success. In 1866 he was transferred to the Providence Conference, and served as pastor of the First Church, at Newport. He was subsequently pastor of the churches at Bristol, Rhode Island, Edgartown, Massachusetts, and of the Mathewson Street and Broadway Churches, in Providence. In 1878 he was appointed Presiding Elder of the Providence Dis- trict, which position he now occupies. For the past ten years he has been a trustee of the Providence Conference Seminary, at East Greenwich, and since 1871, of Wesleyan University. For several years he was also a trustee of Cazenovia Seminary. He was a delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at its quadrennial sessions in 1856, 1860, 1864, 1872, 1876, and 1880. In 1876 he was one of the special committee ap- pointed by order of the General Conference to revise the Methodist Hymn Book, and served as secretary of the committee. In 1869 Wesleyan University conferred on

him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. The annotations on Philippians, Colossians, and the Epistles of Peter, in the Commentary by his uncle, Rev. D. D. Whedon, LL.D., were prepared by him; and he has been a frequent con- tributor to the Methodist Quarterly Review and to other de- nominational publications. He married, May 11, 1846, Mary L. Jones, of Wallingford, Connecticut. They have two children, Charles H. and Emma Frances.

AVLES, ALBERT LEPRELET, manufacturer, was born in Harrisville (formerly called Rhodesville), in the town of Burrillville, Rhode Island, August 29, 1826. He is a representative of the third generation of a large family of successful manufacturers in Rhode Island. His parents were Hardin and Laura Sayles, whose other children were Maria Maretta, born June 25, 1832, died July 16, 1853; Elliot Smith, born February 13, 1834; Hardin Rosco, born May 20, 1835 ; Ellen Augusta, born September 7, 1839, died February 11, 1864; and Addison Clark, born July 18, 1841. Laura, the wife of Hardin Sayles, was the daughter of Captain John and Roba (Smith) Wood. She was born December 23, 1804, and died May 31, 1864. Hardin was the son of Daniel and Phebe Sayles, who had a family of nine children : Hardin, born March 7, 1779, died June 11, 1861 ; Smith S., born December 24, 1794, died August 31, 1879; Pitts, born August 11, 1801, died January 11, 1864; Mary, born September 3, 1793, died August 1857 ; Marietta, born 1798, died 1832; Marcillar, born September 5, 1803, died January 14, 1835; Phidelia, born March 2, 1807; Elizabeth, born October 15, 1808; Elsie, born September 2, 1811, died October 5, 1854. Phebe, the wife of Daniel Sayles, was the daughter of Cap- tain Pitts Smith. She was born July 21, 1769, and died December 11, 1855. Daniel Sayles was born October 31, 1769, and died January 25, 1849. He was the son of Israel and Marsa (Whipple) Sayles, who had eleven chil- dren, seven sons and four daughters: Richard, Essie, Elisha, Christopher, Royal, Ahab and Daniel, Mary, who married Essie Brown, Roba, Rebecca, and Mercy, who married Benjamin Mathewson. Israel's father was Rich- ard Sayles, a very prominent citizen, who was a land sur- veyor, and laid out and surveyed Government and State lands in Burrillville, then Glocester, and the town of Smith- field, Rhode Island. This is as far back as a correct gene- alogy can be traced, but according to tradition, Richard Sayles's grandfather was John Sayles, who, with his brothers Richard and Thomas, came from England in 1645. Rich- ard settled on what is now called Sayles's Hill, in Smith- field, Thomas settled in Rehoboth, and John in Providence, where he married Mary, daughter of Roger Williams, and was for some time town treasurer. Daniel Sayles, the grandfather of Albert L., was born in Glocester, Rhode Island, in that part of the town since included in the town of Burrillville, and in 1814 built a mill for fulling and

dressing cloth, on, or near, the site of the present Granitc Mill, at Pascoag. From a work entitled Representative Manufacturers of New England, to which we are in- debted for many of the facts contained in this sketch, we learn that previous to the beginning of the present century the carding of wool in this country, with the spinning and weaving, was done wholly by hand at the homes of farm- ers. But in 1801, a wool-carding machine was built at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, by Arthur Scofield, who came to this country in 1784, from Oldham, England, where he had learned the art of manufacturing woollen goods. He started a factory for the first company incorporated in the United States for the manufacture of woollen cloth, at Newbury, Byfield Parish, Massachusetts. He afterward removed to Pittsfield, and began the manufacture of wool- carding machines, and in 1804 made from merino wool the first broadcloth ever manufactured in this country. Soon after the erection of his mill, Daniel Sayles put into it a wool-carding machine, and the farmers around began to bring their wool in small parcels of from three to ten pounds to have it carded. Then they took the rolls home and after the spinning and weaving was done, the cloth was brought to the mill for fulling and dressing. The second son of Daniel Sayles was Hardin, the father of Albert L. He was born in Burrillville in 1797, and while only a lad entered his father's mill, where he learned the business of carding wool by machinery and of finishing cloth. In 1819 he came into possession of the mill, which was subsequently enlarged, and in 1834 began the manu- facture of satinets with one set of machinery, in copart- nership with his younger brother, Pitt Sayles, and his broth- er-in-law, John Chace. The former had also learned his trade in his father's mill, and the latter having learned the trade of machinist at Woonsocket, was competent to make repairs and to take charge of running the machinery. This was the second mill started for the manufacture of woollen goods in Burrillville. Providence was the near- est market both for the sale of goods and for the pur- chase of materials and supplies, and one of the propri- etors used to convey thither in a wagon a few pieces of finished cloth, and bring back one or two bags of wool, with other supplies, as often as occasion required. During the financial crisis of 1837 the business was sus- pended, and in 1838 a new copartnership was formed, with an increase of capital and an enlargement of the busi- ness. Jacob T. and Josiah Seagrave, Jr., of Providence, were admitted as partners, the style of the company being " The Union Woollen Company." In 1844 a further en- largement was made, and the machinery altered to adapt it to the manufacture of fancy cassimeres. This company was only moderately successful, and in 1847 the firm was dissolved, Messrs. Seagrave and Mr. Chace retiring. A new copartnership was then formed, Lyman Copeland, of Pas- coag, becoming associated with Hardin and Pitt Sayles, under the firm name of L. Copeland & Co. This firm con-

tinucd until 1850, when Mr. Copeland retired, the other partners continuing under the style of H. & P. Sayles. Albert Leprelet Sayles is now the owner of the property and business of which we have given a partial history. Ile attended the common schools until fifteen years of age, when he commenced work in his father's mill. Two years later he obtained employment with Daniel S. Whipple, at Gaza, a manufacturing village, now part of Mapleville, in Burrillville. Mr. Whipple was a relative (his mother being a sister of Hardin Sayles), and had learned the business of manufacturing in the mill of Edward Harris, a successful manufacturer, business man, and prominent citizen of Woon- socket. Mr. Sayles remained with Mr. Whipple three years, during which time he learned the art of manufactur- ing and finishing woollen goods. He then returned to the mill of L. Copeland & Co., of which firm his father was a member, and in 1848 took charge of the finishing depart- ment. On the retirement of Mr. Copeland in 1850 he be- came superintendent of the mill, which position he held until 1853, when he purchased the interest of his uncle, Pitt Sayles, and the firm was changed to Hardin Sayles & Son. Mr. Sayles then owned one-half of the whole prop- erty and business. In 1861 his father died, and he con- tinued the business under the same firm-name, his mother, his three brothers, and a sister, heirs, retaining their share of his father's interest. In 1865 a new stone mill was built, making the length about 300 feet, and the main part 50 feet wide, and five stories high, containing ten sets of cards and other machinery for the manufacture of fancy cassimeres, various improvements in machinery having since been introduced from time to time by Mr. Sayles. The cost of the new mill was about $250,000. In 1868 Mr. Sayles purchased the interest of his brother, Hardin R., who then purchased the interest of his brother, Addison C., who then entered into partnership with William Nichols, to manufacture woollen goods at Pascoag, the firm being styled Sayles & Nichols. Since that time Mr. Sayles has had sole management of the business, the establishment being known as the Granite Mills. In 1880 he associated himself with John T. Fiske, under the firm-name of Fiske & Sayles, manufacturers of woollen goods, at Pascoag. The same . year he made another addition of fifty-seven feet to the building, increased the number of sets of machinery to fif- teen, and has now the largest and most elegant establish- ment in the town. In 1874, in company with other gentle- men he purchased the manufacturing property at Warren, Massachusetts, known as the Sibley Woollen Mills, the original cost of which was $240,000, and having since pur- chased one of the parties interest, now owns three-quarters. He has also leased and operates the Huntsville Mill, con- taining five sets of machinery. Mr. Sayles was one of the prime movers in originating and building the Providence and Springfield Railroad, is one of the largest stockholders of the company, and has been one of its directors since its organization. He is a director in the Third National

Bank of Providence, a director in the Pascoag National Bank, and a director in the American and the Enterprise Fire Insurance companies. In politics he is a Republican, and has long been an earnest and practical temperance man, having prohibited the use of intoxicating beverages on his premises, and provided a commodious and comfortable hotel, free of rent, to be kept strictly as a temperance house, for the public accommodation in the village. He is a member of the Free-Will Baptist Society of Pascoag, of which he was formerly president and is now treasurer. He is a liberal supporter of the churches in his town and of all good works. Mr. Sayles married, December 1, 1852, Fannie J., daughter of David and Harriet P. (Benson) Warner, of Uxbridge, Massachusetts. They have had four children, Edgar Franklin, born April 20, 1855, died March 24, 1858; Ellen Maria, born November 30, 1857, and mar- ried William A. Jenks, who resides in Warren, Massachu- setts, and is one of the copartners in the operation of the Warren Mills; Albert Hardin, born March 25, 1863; and Frederick Lincoln, born April 13, 1865.

AYLES, COLONEL WILLARD, Attorney-General of Rhode Island, son of John and Hannah (Cook) Sayles, was born in Mendon, Massachusetts, Au- gust 30, 1825. His father was of Franklin, Mas-

sachusetts. His grandfather, Daniel Sayles, first of Sayles's Hill, Rhode Island, early removed to Franklin, where he died. His mother was daughter of Ariel Cook, of Mendon. When he was but six years of age he removed with his parents to Providence, where he has continued to reside. His early education was received at the public school on Meeting Street, under Elisha Baker, and he pre- pared for college in the school of Thomas C. Hartshorn, on Westminster Street. In 1840 he entered Brown Uni- versity, under Dr. Francis Wayland, and graduated in 1844. During his college course he espoused the cause of the State, in the so-called Dorr War, by uniting with a military company in the city, called the Carbineers, under Colonel James N. Olney, with whom he served for a week at Pawtucket, when that place was in great excitement and peril. After graduation from the University he entered the law office of General Thomas F. Carpenter, where he completed a course of legal study in 1846, and in the Sep- tember Term of the Supreme Court was admitted to the practice of law in Rhode Island. Such was his ability as a writer and speaker that he was chosen by the city of Providence, in 1852, to deliver the Fourth of July Oration before the authorities and citizens. For a time, near 1854, he was City Solicitor of Providence. At the outbreak of the Civil War his patriotism drew him from his peaceful pursuits into the great struggle of the nation. In Sep- tember, 1861, he raised, in a single week, three troops of cavalry, and was commissioned a Major in the First Bat- talion of the First New England Cavalry, afterwards the

First Rhode Island Cavalry-the first regiment of the kind ever raised in New England. On the completion of the regiment he was commissioned, February 21, 1862, Lieu- tenant-Colonel of the command. In March, 1862, the regiment left for Washington, under command of Colonel Robert B. Lawton. Colonel Sayles accompanied the ex- pedition, March 19-22, beyond the army-front, to recover the bodies of Slocum, Ballou, and Tower from the Bull Run battle-field. With his regiment brigaded under Gen- eral J. P. Hatch, in the Fifth Army Corps, under General N. P. Banks, he served, in April and May, near the Rap- pahannock and Bull Run mountains, in scouts, skirmishes, reconnoitring, and picket duty. At the close of April, when Coloncl Lawton retired from the field on account of illness, Colonel Sayles came into full command of the regiment. He was with Generals Shields and McDowell in their forced marches over the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Shenandoah Valley, and as Chief of the Cavalry, under General Shields, pressed hard and struck heavily the retreating troops of "Stonewall" Jackson, for which service he received the thanks of the General. A portion of June was spent in scouting up the valley, on the flank and rear of the Confederates. The gallant and successful charge of the Second Battalion of the regiment on Front Royal, May 30, 1862, was one of the most brilliant deeds of the war. Returning from the valley, depleted of horses and exhausted from severe services, the regiment refitted on the plains of Manassas. Here, July 7, Colonel Sayles resigned his commission. But his love for his perilled country would not allow him to remain out of the field. Governor J. Y. Smith called him to organize and command the Third Regiment of Rhode Island Cavalry, giving to him the entire management, even to the selection of the officers. His new commission dated July 1, 1863. The regiment was organized at Mashapaug, near Providence, and at Camp Meade, on Conanicut. The command moved by ship, in detachments, from Newport, Rhode Island, to New Orleans, Louisiana., the First Battalion moving at the close of 1863, reporting in the field to Major-General N. P. Banks, commanding the Depart- ment of the Gulf, and was assigned to the Fifth Cavalry Brigade, which, crossing the Mississippi, March 3, 1864, shared in the marches and actions of the Red River Expe- dition. In the battle of Pleasant Hill, April 9, 1864, the command behaved nobly, and afterwards led the advance from Natchitoches to Cane River, fighting its way. Sub- sequently it endured the enemy's fire on the Steamer Supe- rior, and at Alexandria, and in the battles of Marksville Plain and Yellow Bayou. Marching over a thousand miles, losing some men and many horses, the regiment finally found headquarters at Napoleonville. From this as a cen- tre, Colonel Sayles directed the picket service, scouting and reconnoitring over a vast territory, and, December 9, 1864, had command of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade. In short, the field of operations for his regiment was nearly
