The parents were typical Vermonters. The father was a carpenter by trade, and both were much respected in the community where they lived. They had the faculty of making the most of the moderate means they had, bringing up a large family of children, giving them such advantages as the schools of the town provided, and incul- cating the principle that it is honorable to earn one's own living, and leaving them the characteristic Vermont inheritance, a fair education and an honor- able name.

He settled with his creditors within forty-eight hours, paying twenty-five per cent. cash, and getting a discharge from all obligations. But he was determined if he were ever able that the full amount should be paid. His partner, his brother William Eugene, died in 1874. It was not until 1881 that he could carry out his purpose-then he remitted to all the creditors of the firm the

seventy-five per cent. which they had released, and nine years' interest at six per cent., making fifty-four per cent. additional, the whole amounting to many thousands of dollars. . The financial writers of the day noticed the circumstance as one of unusual occurrence in Wall street dealings.
After the death of his father, in 1865, he and his family made it a home a portion of the year, with his mother, at the old home in West Randolph, and never lost his interest or affection for his native town and state. He has built a fine summer residence on an elevation commanding a beautiful view on the east of the village of West Randolph. He has shown his public spirit and generosity in many ways, and although he spends the most of each year in Brooklyn and New York, yet the few months that he is at home he makes his presence felt by the citizens of his native town by various donations and encouragement to public enterprises.
