served in the War of 1812 as first sergeant ; participated in the battles of Platts- burgh, Stone Mills, and at other locations in the Chateaugay country, N. Y. With his savings in this service he bought a lot in Calais. About 1816 he married Ruth, daughter of Peter Wheelock, the first town clerk and repre- sentative of Calais. Three of their seven children lived to mature age, viz .: Jerry W. was a merchant in Boston and died in Woburn, Mass., in 1879 ;. Mary A. died in Calais in 1874; and Albion J. resides in Calais. He en- listed, in May, 1862, in Co. I, 9th Regt. Vt. Vols., and went out as captain, served about a year, and was captured by the enemy at the battle at Harper's Ferry. After he was exchanged he served as a recruiting officer for the 3d, 6th, and 9th Regiments, and was in the state service one year. Mr. Mower married Relief W. Smith, of Cabot, and they have five children. His sword has turned to a plowshare and he is a peaceable tiller of the soil. Either the military spirit is rife in this family, or their patriotism is beyond and above a doubt or question. John Mower served our country in the war that gained our independence. His son Jabez was a sergeant in the War of 1812. His grandson, Albion J. Mower, was a captain, and gave his service to preserve the Union which his grandfather fought to establish. And now his great- grandson is learning the art of war at Norwich University.

Albert Dwinell, the subject of this sketch, was born in East Calais, Jan- uary 15, 1823, the fifth son of Dea. Israel and Phila (Gillman) Dwinell.

Albert, the fifth son, served his early years, and up to the time of his majority, on his father's farm, attending the common and select schools, with one term at Peacham Academy, and spending the winter months for five seasons in teaching district schools. In April, 1845, at the age of twenty-two, he was married to Irene Davis Rich, daughter of Capt. Samuel Rich and Dolly Davis, his wife, into whose service he enlisted, taking charge of the saw-mill and grist-mill at East Calais. In the year 1850 the estate, together with the mills belonging to Samuel Rich, came into his possession by purchase. During this ownership of the mills lumbering was made a specialty. In 1856, having disposed of his mill property, he gave more attention to general farming ; and in 1860, in connection with farming, he engaged in mercantile and produce business in his country village, at which business he continued for twenty years.

He served in this capacity until obliged by sickness to leave the service. He was elected state senator in 1878, and reelected in 1880. In the latter year he was chairman of the Grand List committee, and was one of the special commission appointed to formulate and introduce a bill to equalize taxation, resulting in the bill reported by that commission, and the establishing of the present tax law, to regulate taxation, known as the tax law of 1880. In January, 1881, Mr. Dwinell was commis- sioned by Gov. Farnham one of three state appraisers to appraise railroad beds, trestles, and bridges, so that they be set in the Grand Lists of their respective towns for the purpose of taxation.
