descendant of John Winthrop, the first governor of Massachusetts. Albert Brown Chandler was educated in the district school and in the academy of his native village, and spent his vacations in learn- ing the arts of both printing and teleg- raphy. Mr. Chandler was married Oc- tober 11. 1864. to Miss Marilla Eunice Stedman of West Randolph. Three chil- dren were born to them, one daughter, Florence, dying in childhood, and two sons. Albert Eckert and Willis Derwin. His wife Marilla died in September, 1907. In December. 1910. Mr. Chandler married Miss Mildred Vivian of New York City, a member of a most favorably known fam- ily of the South, who came to New York from Kansas City in 1907. He was ap- pointed manager of the Western Union telegraph office at Bellaire, O., in 1858. In 1859 agent of the Cleveland & Pitts- burg Railroad at Manchester, opposite Pittsburg, remaining until May, 1863, when he was assigned to duty as cipher telegraph operator in the War Depart- ment at Washington, becoming one of the confidential telegraph operators of Presi- dent Lincoln and Secretary Stanton. In October, 1863, in addition to these duties, he was made disbursing elerk for General Thomas T. Eckert, superintendent of Mili- tary Telegraph in the Department of the Potomae, visiting the armies in the field and becoming personally acquainted with principal military officers of the govern- ment. In August, 1866, before the gen- eral consolidation of the several telegraph interests in the United States into one company had become fully organized, he was made chief elerk in the office of Gen- eral Superintendent of the Eastern Di- vision and placed in charge of the trans- atlantic and Cuba cable traffic, which had just been inaugurated. In addition to these duties. he was, on the first of June, 1869. appointed superintendent of the Sixth District of the Eastern Division, and continued in these several positions until January, 1875, when he accepted the position of assistant general manager of the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Com- pany. of which General Eckert had lately become president and general manager. He was subsequently appointed, successively, secretary, treasurer, director, and viee- president of that company, and in De- cember. 1879. he succeeded General Eck- ert as president. After that company was
combined with the Western Union Co. in 1881, he accepted the presidency of the Fuller Electrical Company, which was among the first to develop the arc system of electric lighting, remaining actively in that position until May, 1884. In Decem- ber of that year he became counsel for the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company, and in June, 1865, he was appointed re- ceiver of the property of that company. Through his efforts the company was re- organized, and early in 1886 he became its president and general manager, and also a member of the board of directors and of the executive committee and a vice- president of the Commercial Cable Com- pany. After, the construction of the Pa- cifie Coast lines, he was made acting presi- dent of the Pacific Postal Telegraph Com- pany, of which Mr. John W. Mackay was president. In March, 1887, he was elected a director, and soon after president, of the Commercial Telegraph Company. While under his management the property of this company was acquired by the Stock Exchange in 1890, and Mr. Chandler has ever since continued in charge of its op- eration under the direction of the Ex- change. Was a member of the board of directors of the Brooklyn Distriet Tele- graph Co. and president of that company during the first three years of its exist- ence. The large and commodious building of the Postal Telegraph Company at Broadway and Murray Street, New York, was erected under the supervision of Mr. Chandler, and has become a well estab- lished center of telegraphic communica- tion. After forty-four years of active service, by his own wish, Mr. Chandler retired from the presidency of the com- pany, which Mr. John W. Mackay then assumed, requesting that Mr. Chandler continue in close relations with him as chairman of the board of directors, which position he has ever since continued to occupy. He is a member of the board of directors of the Otis Elevator Company. He served as colonel and A. D. C. on the military staffs of Governors Woodbury and Grout of Vermont for four years, 1895 to 1898, inclusive. It has been said of him that he is a man of infinite patience and pains; that in every relation he has proved himself more than equal to the duties assigned him, honoring every trust by conscientious assiduity, and by the un- failing politeness, fidelity and thoughtful-

ness with which he administered it; and that when he withdrew from active man- agement of the Postal System he had the gratification of knowing that he was the only man who had ever built up a com- prehensive and successful competitive sys- tem of telegraphs in the United States. May 16, 1896, at the National Electrical Exposition in New York, he sent a tele- graph message, written by Hon. Chaun- cey M. Depew, a distance of 16,000 miles around the world, which was received and transcribed by Thomas A. Edison in New York, four minutes later, the entire cir- cuit being composed of wires and cables belonging to the Postal Telegraph-Com- mercial Cable system. Elbert Hubbard must have had Col. Chandler in mind when he wrote: "Responsibilities gravi- tate to the person who can shoulder them; and power flows to the man who knows how." In political convictions Col. Chand- ler is a Republican. He has been a mem- ber of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church (known as Dr. Cuyler's) in Brook- lyn since January, 1869, and is an attend- ant of Bethany Congregational Church in Randolph, in aid of which he gave, in 1907, Chandler Music Hall, which, with its adjoining Parish House, is one of the finest structures of the kind in New Eng- land. A full sketch of the life of Mr. Chandler would form an interesting chap- ter in the history of telegraphy in the United States. He is classed among tele- graph people as one of its pioneers, hav- ing devoted more than fifty years of con- tinuous service to that profession, occu- pied nearly every official position pertain- ing to it, been personally acquainted with nearly all the principal promoters, in- ventors, and officers who have brought that business to its present position of prime importance in the affairs of the world, and has participated in some of the most important movements in the transmission of messages of public inter- est, the development of business and in its organization, operation and expansion.
