4. Dudley C.
Dudley C. was b. iu Springfield, March 23, 1842. He was educated at Williston Seminary at Easthampton, Mass., and at Yale Col- lege, taking a special course at the latter and receiving a degree. He was elected to the State Legislature of Kansas iu 1872, and iu 1877 was elected a representative from that State in the 45th Con- gress of the United States, and served coutinuously until his death, Dec. 16, 1883.
Elaborate memorial addresses were delivered in the two Houses of Congress by Representatives Ryan, Handback and Perkins of Kansas, Kelley of Pennsylvania, Tucker of Virginia, Keifer and Mckinley of Ohio, Rice and Russell of Massachusetts, Burus of Missouri, Browne of Indiana, Belford of Ohio and Pettibone of Tennessee; and by Senators Plumb, Ingalls, Dawes, Cockrell and Morrill.
Mr. Ryan said, "For the legislative arena he was splendidly equipped."
Mr. Kelley said, " Mr. Haskell, with his herculeau frame, his deep voice, and his sometimes sternly Puritan visage, was a genial companion, and in all the honorable strifes of public life a gen-

erous foe. . The discussion of the problems of national economy was a passion with him."
Mr. Keifer said, "The sum of his work in his six years of Con- gressional life is great, and in point of material usefulness to his country equals the best of his colleagues or predecessors.
He was master of the subjects before the Committee of Ways and Means. None excelled him."
Major Mckinley said, "I knew Dudley C. Haskell well and inti- mately. We entered Congress together seven years ago, and early in our service here became friends. This friendship became warmer, closer and more confiding to the day of his death. During the last Con- gress it was my fortune to be a fellow-member of the . same committee, and almost daily for months we sat side by side in the same com- mittee room. It was there I came to learn his virtues and appreciate his high qualities of head and heart. He was a valued friend, un- selfish and always manly, and a steady ally in com- mittee or on the floor of the House. He was a man of pure thought and lofty pur- poses, keen perception and clear judgment, whose life was helpful to all who came within the circle of his in- fluence, and whose strong individuality impressed itself upon the affairs in which he took part. He was a man of integrity. There HON. DUDLEY C. HASKELL. were no dark corners in his character to be hid from sight; his life was an open

liberty, and hated oppression in every form. He had convictions . . . and he never lacked the courage to utter them. He was a man of stern will and unremitting industry. . . He was not only a student, but he was a scholar. He never stopped until he had mastered the subject in hand. . He was a strong debater, with a voice which could penetrate every part of this hall ; with great readiness, a commanding presence and a well-stored

mind, he stood in the front rank of the ablest and best of his fellow-members. . . . Death claimed him at the very threshold of a great career."
Senator Dawes said, " The committee work which fell to my lot here brought me into frequent and intimate consultation and co-operation with him. I soon came to value his counsels and rely upon his judgment. . . . I mourn to-day the death of a friend I could not spare, of a colaborer who cannot be re- placed, and I feel that those who need help, of whatever race, and however bound or cast off, have lost a strong arm, ever stretched forth to succor; a clear intellect, ever alert, well balanced and directed to the wisest methods; and a heart as big as his native hills, ever responsive to the appeals of the lowly.
" The whole biography of this man is written in the single word fidelity. . He discharged to the uttermost cvery duty public or private, and faithful to the end he died at his post."
Senator Morrill said, " No one familiar with the voluminous record of the recent tariff debate, with the ever inhering difficulties and complicated problems of the subject, will hesitate to admit, whether agreeing to the principles he promulgated or not. that it has fallen to the lot of few men to approach more nearly at one session of Congress to the general mastery of the subject than was done by this laborious representative from Kansas."

In the fall of 1861, the first year of the late war, Dr. Hazeltou was one of the four surgeons commissioned by Governor Holbrook of Vermont as a surgical reserve force to be called to the assistance of the Vermont surgical staff in the field whenever emergency required. He was accordingly ordered to the front from time to time during the war to act as surgeon in some of the most notable engagements of the war.
While at Cavendish he represented the town in the Legislature in 1876. He is a member of the Vermont State Medical Society and of the Connecticut River Valley Medical Association.

He fitted for college at Vermont Academy, Saxton's River, aud afterwards studied medicine at the University of Vermont and in the medical department of Columbia College, in New York City, otherwise known as the College of Physicians and Surgeons. From the lat- ter institution he was graduated in 1884 with a class of one hun- dred and fifty. At his graduation he received from Columbia Col- lege an appointment to the house staff of Bellevue Hospital, being one of the four which are made annually and are given to the gradu- ates rauking highest in their examinations for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He served in this hospital eighteen months. He m. Dec. 29, 1892, Grace Atherton, second daughter of Capt. Henry B. and Abbie (Armington) Atherton, of Nashua, N.

GEORGE O. HENRY, son of Samuel aud Sarah (Cooley) Henry, was b. at Charlestown, N. H., July 17, 1820, and came to Springfield in 1867. He pur- chased the Springfield House and kept hotel there seventeen years on strictly temperance principles. He was chosen one of the first commissioners of the Campbell fund, and served in that capacity nine years. Through his efforts, largely, the income of this fund has been used to aid those in needy circum- stances so they may not become town charges, instead of being used to support the paupers and thus reduce the taxes of the town. This income has also beeu distributed in such a way that the beneficiaries have not been gen- erally known to the public, thus avoiding any feelings of sensitiveness on the part of those receiving such help. Mr. Henry was for six years overseer of the poor ; county commissioner two years ; justice of the peace twenty-two years,
