represented by Mr. Henry Villard, to give the latter control. But while the fame of the final actual accomplishment of the grand result thus fell to another, it remains true that Mr. Billings was the master spirit of the enterprise and the chief architect of its success. The transaction with Villard added several millions to Mr. Billing's ample fortune. The latest great commercial enterprise to which he gave his name and help was the Nicaragua Canal. He was one of the incorporators, and at the time of his death a director and chairman of the executive committee of the com- pany. He was also a director or trustee in the following corporations, American Exchange National Bank, Farmer's Loan & Trust Company, Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, the Manhattan Life Insurance Company, the Manhattan Savings Institution, the Presbyterian Hospital, the Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled (all of New York City), the Con- necticut River Railroad Company, the Vermont Valley and Sullivan County Railroads, the Connecticut and Passumpsic and the Rutland Railroad Companies. He was president of the Woodstock Railway Company and of the Woodstock National Bank.

Mr. Billings' attachment to his Vermont home was shown in many ways. He was a generous giver to all good objects in Woodstock. The Congregational Church there, of which he was a member, was an espe- cial object of his love and care. He built its chapel at a cost of $15,000 as a memorial to his father and mother. He rebuilt the parsonage; and among his latest cares was the reconstruction of the church building which he transformed at an outlay of $40,000 into one of the most taste- ful and appropriate church structures in all New England. Nothing, however, will cause Mr. Billings's name to be held in higher and more lasting remembrance than his gift to his alma mater, the University of Vermont. In 1867 he became a member of its board of trustees and held the office for six years. After the death of Hon. George P. Marsh, United States Minister to Italy, in 1882, Mr. Billings purchased his library, famous among scholars and philologists, gave it to the Univer- sity, and signified at the same time his intention to erect a library building worthy of the Marsh collection and of the choice library of the University. He engaged the services of the greatest American archi- tect, the late H. H. Richardson, and the Billings Library stands the noble monument of his munificence, the pride of the city of Burling-

ton, and the admiration of every visitor. It represents, including the cost of the Marsh collection and Mr. Billings's gifts of money for the purchase of books and for catalogueing and an endowment fund of $50,000, an outlay of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Mr. Bill- ings also, during the last year of his life, gave $50,000 to Amherst College, and $50,000 to Mr. Moody's School at Northfield, Mass. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the Uni- versity of Vermont at its last commencement. Seven children were the fruit of Mr. Billings's marriage, all, save the oldest, born in Wood- stock. His oldest son, Parmly, died in 1888. The third son, Ehrick, died in 1889. Mrs. Billings, with the other children, Laura, Frederick, Mary, Elizabeth and Richard survive him, to mourn the loss of one of the most affectionate and beloved of husbands and fathers. Mr. Bill- ings' health had been impaired for many years. His life was prolonged by rigid dieting and skillful medical care; but his disease made very ser- ious inroads upon his strength and spirits. A partial stroke of paralysis, due to enfeebled action of the heart, last winter, gave a distinct premo- nition of the end. From this he rallied sufficiently to be taken to Wood- stock, and to ride out at times; but as the summer wore away his strength declined, and towards the last he became a great sufferer from angina pectoris. He was conscious of his condition during all his illness and contemplated the end, which he knew might come suddenly at any moment, with Christian resignation and hope. He died September 30, 1890, and Vermont lost one of her foremost citizens and the world a no- ble man.

Mr. Billings was one of the remarkable men of the present half cen- tury. For more than a generation, ever since in 1848 he went with the Argonauts to California, he has been prominent in one or another of many of the great national enterprises which have made this age mem- orable. He had the two distinct capacities which are rarely united in the same man, the capacity to organize and to execute. When the man appears who can combine these two functions, opportunities seek him, power comes to him, labors and responsibilities accumulate upon him. Mr. Billings died too early by twenty years for a man of his constitu- tional vigor, from overwork. A friend spoke the truth of him when he said that Mr. Billings could not live longer because he had lived three

lives already. Work came not only because of his abilities, but also be- cause of his principles, his tastes, his enthusiasms. He was as eager in matters relating to learning, education, art, politics, charity and religion, as he was in matters of business. In fact he made all these interests a part of his business. In California, in New York, in Vermont, his ex- tensive financial and railroad occupations did not so exhaust him but that he could find time and thought for churches, colleges, books, pic- tures even bric-a-brac and flowers. He was a man of universal sympa- thy. There is hardly anything good in human life into which he did not put some of his best thought and feeling and will. In many fields out- side of his specialties he excelled. His literary taste was exquisite. His appreciation of works of genius in all departments was discriminating and his enjoyment of them keen. He was an orator of rare power. He could electrify a vast assembly in a political convention, and he could move and edify a prayer meeting. His ideas of education were so sound and comprehensive and scholarly, that he was at one time urged to take the presidency of the University of California. He might had he chosen have gone to the United States Senate from California, in such high es- teem were his statesmanlike qualities held by his fellow citizens of that State. In all these fields Mr. Billings was admirable-in many even great. But he was at his best in his social and religious character. In his home he was the most affectionate of men. He was a loving brother and devoted son. In his prosperity he was thoughtful for the welfare of all his relatives, especially of his parents, for whom lie provided every comfort which his loving care could devise. He took great delight in the society of his neighbors and townsmen. Coming every year to his beautiful home in Woodstock, he became more and more attached to it and its surroundings. He was fond of being known as "Frederick Bill- ings of Woodstock." He took intense and ever-growing delight in those rural scenes and associations and companionships which every natural heart enjoys. Mr. Billings was deeply and warmly religious. He had the simple strong faith in divine realities which large, generous natures usually have. It was at one time his purpose to enter the Christian min istry; and though he seemed to be providentially diverted from that ca- reer, he never ceased to regret the change in his course as a privation, and throughout his life in all religious activities and ministrations, he

was actually more than half a clergyman, and always a minister. Of his benefactions we need not speak more at length, at least to our Vermont readers. Every one knows of them that they are not more admirable for their magnitude and variety, than for the modest, beautiful and lov- ing spirit with which they were bestowed. Rarely in our day has Christian stewardship been so admirably exemplified. While all who have known how extreme have been Mr. Billings's sufferings during the last months will breathe a sigh of relief that he has entered into rest, there will be deep sorrow in many hearts that the world has lost such a man, has lost so much energy, so much magnanimity, so much affec- tion, has lost such a noble example of well rounded Christian manliness. Surely such a life cannot fail in some measure to reproduce itself in other lives made better by its example and inspiration.

G ILL FAMILY, THE. - The pioneer of this family in Springfield was a carpenter and mill- wright, who came from Exeter, R. I., about the year 1770. Previous to his becoming a resident of this town, the original proprietors at a meeting held by them March 1, 1763, voted to give any person starting a saw-mill on their grant twenty acres of land and furnish a set of irons for the mill, on condition that said mill should be kept in good repair for a term of fifteen years. This right had been secured by Simon Stevens and Page Harriman, and they by deed dated February 8, 1771, transferred it to Daniel Gill, the tract in question be- ing located at the lower falls on the Black River, now the site of Gould's mills. Mr. Gill proceeded to blast the rock on his purchase preparatory to building, expending considerable time and money, but Richard Mor- ris claimed the tract by title from the province of New York, and though overtures were made to Mr. Gill by Mr. Morris to settle the difficulty, he abandoned the project. He was elected a member of the Legislature of 1784 and 1792, and while attending the latter at Rutland was pre- sented with a petition signed by 195 inhabitants of Springfield and vicinity, bearing date of October 19, 1792, appointing him with Captain Abner Bisbee as agents to select homesteads for them in Upper Canada, in response to a proclamation issued by John G. Simcoe, governor of that province. Returning from that mission he was taken sick and died at Sing Sing, N. Y. His wife's maiden name was Mercy Whitford, of

BIOGRAPHICAL.

PINGRY, HON. WILLIAM MORRILL, of Weathersfield, was born at Salisbury, N. H., May 28, 1806, being the second son of William and Mary (Morrill) Pingry. He studied law with Samuel I. Wells of his native town, also with the firm of Shaw & Chandler of Danville, Vt. He became a member of the Caledonia County Bar in June, 1832, and commenced the practice of his profession at Waitsfield, Vt., where he re- mained nine years. In 1841 he came to Perkinsville, Vt., and excepting from November 1854 to August 1857, when he was cashier of the White River Bank at Bethel, Vt., always resided there and followed his profession until his death in May 1885. Mr. Pingry was State Auditor of Vermont from 1853 to 1860, was county commissioner, was a mem- ber of the Vermont House of Representatives in 1860-61 and 1868, and a member of the Senate of 1869 and 1870, was Assistant Judge in Wash- ington and Windsor counties, and also a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1850. His heart was warmly enlisted in the anti-slavery cause, with which he was identified at an early period, he being one of the " 319" Vermonters who voted for James G. Birney as a Presidential candidate in 1840, when the total Liberty party vote in the United States was 7,059. He was a consistent church member and was for . over forty years deacon of the Baptist Church and for almost thirty-five years superintendent of the Sabbath school. The records of the Ver- mont Baptists for the past forty- five years or more show that his coun- sels were sought by that denomination throughout the State. He served his brethren often as presiding officer of different organizations, also on various boards of trust, on important committees, and at ecclesiastical councils. He was the first president of the Vermont Baptist Sabbath School Convention organized in 1870. As a corporate member of the board of trustees of the Vermont Academy, he was chosen the first presi- dent and heid the office till his death. He had collected much valuable material for the town history of Weathersfield. A volume entitled " A Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Moses Pengry of Ips- wich, Mass., so far as Ascertained, Collected and Arranged by William M. Pingry," and published in 1881, is the result of labor extending through seven years. He married, first, Miss Lucy G. Brown and their two children are Mary Helen, wife of Dr. Orvis F. Bigelow of Amherst, Mass., and Gratia Maria, wife of Cyrus C. Boynton of Los Angeles, Cal.

Abigail Makepeace. He had thirteen children, seven by the first mar- riage, two by the second and four by the last. Zadoc, his third child by the first marriage, born December 17, 1758, married February 10, 1785, Hannah Shurtleff. He was taken prisoner by the Indians that burnt Royalton, Vt., October 17, 1780, and with other captives was placed in a prison on an island in the rapids above Montreal, from which he made his escape. He died at Stanstead, Canada, March 23, aged eighty-seven. Sanford, the ninth of the ten children of Zadoc and Hannah, born April 13, 1804, married December 14. 1835, Mary Hinman, of Derby, Vt., born August 14, 1812. He lived in Stanstead, Canada, and died June 26, 1852. Judge Benjamin H. Steele was born in Stanstead, P Q., February 14, 1837, the eldest in a family of five children, two daughters and three sons, of Sanford and Mary Steele. Very early in life he evinced a strong taste for mental culture and worked faithfully to gratify this desire. He attended school in his native place and at the academy in Derby Center, Vt., and meantime taught the district school while a mere lad. He also spent some time in St. Pierre College, P. Q., and afterwards became a member of Norwich University, then under the presidency of Dr. Bouras. He remained here about one year and then entered the sophomore class of Dartmouth College in the spring of 1855. Both in scholarship and talents he stood in the front rank of his class, a class too of marked ability and promise. He graduated with the highest honors of the class from Dartmouth in 1857. During the last year of his college life, he had carried along with his academic duties also his professional studies, which accounts for his admission to the bar so soon after his graduation. He was admitted to the Suffolk bar in Massa- chusetts, also to the Orleans bar in Vermont in 1858, and commenced practicing at Derby Line. During the eight or nine years of his professional life at the bar, he gave himself unremittingly to the close and thorough study of the law, and laid that broad and solid founda- tion which was both the occasion of his appointment to the Supreme Bench of Vermont, and the secret of his subsequent distinguished career upon it. He received his appointment to the Supreme Bench in the autumn of 1865, and was the youngest man who ever filled that position. If there were any misgivings of the propriety of the appointment of so young a man to the Supreme Bench judgeship
