subject carefully, was pleased with the idea, had his property insured, and accepted the agency of the company for this section, which he retained for 2 years, receiving premiums to the amount of over $4,000, with only $2,000 in losses. It was during this period that the idea of cheaper insur- ance, based upon the mutual plan, sug- gested itself to Mr. Baldwin. He coun- seled with a number of the business men of that day, but could get little encourage- ment from any, with the exception of Thomas Reed, Jr., James H. Langdon, Joshua Y. Vail, and Chester Hubbard. With these coadjutors, at a second trial, Nov. 10, 1827, the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company was chartered; yet not without great opposition. The mem- ber from Middlebury, one of its opposers, moved an amendment of the bill, granting a charter, requiring the company to pay 6 per cent. of the profits into the State treasury annually. This shows that that member of our Legislature, at least, knew little of mutual insurance.
Under this grant the company was or- ganized, Jan. 21, 1828. As Daniel Bald- win originated the charter, he was elected president of the meeting, but declined, and J. H. Langdon was elected in his stead. There were but six persons pres- ent. ^ A board of directors was chosen, and that board, of which Hon. Mr. Baldwin was an active member, elected Chapin Keith of Barre, president, J. Y. Vail, sec- retary, and George Worthington treasurer, both of Montpelier. Their first policy was issued in March, 1828, to Daniel Baldwin.
In October, 1828, the directors reported 186 policies issued, and that the company was gaining in strength and popularity. A small beginning, truly, for a company that now issues between 5,000 and 6,000 poli- cies annually.
Mr. Keith was succeeded at the end of the year by Israel P. Dana of Danville, as president, who held the office until 1838, to be followed by John Spalding of Mont- pelier, who held the office until 1841, when the subject of this sketch was elected, holding office as president for 33 years. During this time, he administered the af-
fairs of the corporation as its head. H had around him trusty men, tried and true yet he has probably traveled more mile on insurance business, and talked insurand with more persons than any other 50 me in the State. His heart and soul were i the work, and with him that meant succes He understood the principles and rules ( insurance as few ever do. He adjuste equitable rates for various classes of pro erty with a truly wonderful precision. H devotion to the duties of his office wer both conscientious and enthusiastic. A an adjustor, he was almost without a equal ; while he settled closely and ec nomically for the company, he gained tl respect and good will of the insured, fi he was frank and honest, dealing as 1 would have others deal with him. Few, any, ever felt aggrieved, and many we the testimonials showered upon him later years, for his honest dealing wi them, when they through loss were rende ed almost powerless to contest the validi of their insurance, had they been force so to do.
The prosperity of the Vermont Mutu Fire Insurance Company is thè proude testimonial he can have of his zeal ar well-directed services, and those who pa take of the benefits of that organizati, cannot fail to gratefully remember the ma who more than any other one has made t strong and reliable concern what it That its progress may be the more evider I would say that the number of policies force in 1831 was 1,869; in 1841, 12,01 in 1851, 11,790; in 1861, 22,237; in 18; 27,488 ; and in 1881, 29,413. Such an ! crease in business is without precedent any mutual company in our Union, a shows definitely that the true and unwa ering course of all connected with it, I gained the confidence of the people, a the company is an honor to our State, a it is fitting that we should honor the m who originated the philanthropic schen and with untiring zeal pushed it to grand success.

cution, almost his own; and surrounded by helpers in the insurance business which he had himself educated, he thought that they had better allow him to retire; and o after his election as president for the 3Ist year, he sent in the following resigna- ion, in March, 1871 :
To the Directors of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company :
GENTLEMEN :- Owing to infirmities in consequence of old age, I do not feel com- petent to discharge the duties of president of this company as they should be, and therefore resign the office, to take place as soon as some person shall be elected to fill the responsible place I have so long occu- pied.
D. BALDWIN.
Montpelier, March Ist, 1871 .
No action was, however, taken upon this, and he was again re-elected in Octo- ber. He immediately resigned, but was over-persuaded, and consented to serve one year more by having a Vice President to relieve him of some of the duties which now rested quite heavily upon him. James T. Thurston was elected Vice President, and thus he was continued until Oct. 14, 1874, when Mr. Thurston was elected President ; but Hon. Mr. Baldwin was re- tained as director, so that his counsel and advice might rightly be available. Judge Baldwin, however, soon withdrew almost wholly from the office, but still retaining his mental faculties in a remarkable de- gree up to the day of his death.
All honor to the departed, and may his valuable counsels and noble example live with the company ; and his original and true principles of insurance be carried out by the insurer, and the household word of Vermont continue to be the " Old Ver- mont Mutual." Let us here to-day, as offi- cers of this company, pledge ourselves anew to the duties, and thus we may hope to retain with our prosperity, which seems assured, the good will and honor of our patrons, that we may, in part, share in the tributes of praise so justly given to the de- parted.

ABRAHAM G. D. TUTHILL
was born at Oyster Pond, Long Island, and in due time chose to become an artist. To perfect himself, he spent seven years as a pupil of the great painter, Benjamin West, in London, and one year in Paris. Returning to this country, he spent a few years in Montpelier, where a sister resided, and where now there are to be found many beautiful specimens of his work. His artist life was mainly spent at Buffalo, Detroit, and other western cities ; but he returned to Montpelier, and died there, June 12, 1843, aged 67.
JOSHUA Y. VAIL
was one of the very early lawyers of Mont- pelier. He served awhile as Preceptor of Washington County Grammar School, and was County Clerk 1819-1839, 18 years. He was also Secretary of the Vermont Mu- tual Fire Insurance Company from the or- ganization in 1828 until 1850, and member and Secretary of the Council of Censors in 1820. His wife was a devoted chris- tian mother, Mary M., sister of the artist Tuthill, and all of her children have been well connected. Two of her sons, Solon J. Y. and Oscar J., still reside in Montpe- lier, and two daughters survive, one at Newbury and one in the West-four out of nine children. Mr. Vail died in 1854, in his 70th year; and his wife in 1876, aged 90. Both were born on Long Island.
THE WOOD FAMILY.
Late in the last century three brothers were born in Leominster, Mass., the eldest of whom spent half of his life in Mont- pelier, and the others much the largest part. They were Cyrus, John, and Zenas Wood. They were all of Puritan stock, and mem- bers of the first Congregational church in Montpelier.
CYRUS WOOD settled in Lebanon, N. H., about 1809, taking his brother John with him, who was then about 20 years of age. In 1814, both came to Montpelier and en- tered into partnership in the cabinet- making business, which was continued until the death of Cyrus, Nov. 25, 1840.

N. H., who was truly a helpmeet for him, an industrious, pious and prudent woman. Bearing his share in the military burdens of his time, he became captain of Wash- ington Artillery, which was a high honor. But it was in the churches that he was most conspicuous. Long a deacon in the first Congregational church, he went to the Free church on its organization, and ou its dissolution, to the Methodist church. In all he was an earnest worker, instant and earnest in prayer and exhortation, and his pure, honest and loving life attested the sincerity of his religious convictions. He died Jan. 14, 1872, in his 84th year, leaving a son and daughter, the son being Thomas W. Wood, the now highly dis- tinguished artist.
ZENAS WOOD, born Jan. 1, 1793, came to Montpelier at a somewhat later date, and engaged in the stove and tin-ware business, in which he was quite success- ful. He had all the excellent character- istics of his brother John, but was some- what less demonstrative. He sympathized keenly with the sick and suffering, as the writer of this note had occasion to know by personal experience. Mr. Wood was a prudent business man, and for some years was a director in the old Bank of Montpelier. In the last great fire here his real estate was destroyed, and he went, a lone and sad man, to his affectionate daughters in St. Johnsbury, where he died Oct. 29, 1876, in his 84th year. E. P. W.
