 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The desire to know something of my ancestors, led me, in 1879, 
 to compile "The Descendants of Col. David Mack" (there being 
 already published Root and "Ward genealogies), and to com- 
 mence collecting material for a Smith genealogy ;\ and I have 
 now undertaken to preserve, in a valuable form, a record of the 
 descendants of Matthew Smith from 1637 to 1890, the past 150 
 years .being practically complete. Probably no work of this 
 nature was ever published without errors of some kind, and I 
 would consider it a favor to be informed of any. 
 
 The labor involved in this volume can be conceived of only by 
 those who have undertaken a similar work, and especially is the 
 name of Smith a difficult one. In the old records the name is 
 spelled Smith, Smithe, Smeith and Smyth. It is one of the very 
 oldest surnames, giving precedence to none, unless it be King. 
 
 There is no doubt that the ancestors were of* English origin, 
 and the Matthew which I have designated as 1st came to Amer- 
 ica from England in 1637, and in direct descent there appear 
 nine by that name alone, the ninth dying unmarried. 
 
 Matthew 4th had a son, Thomas, who had sons, Thomas, Mat- 
 thew and Samuel, and in that line it is possible there are some that 
 bear that name. 
 
 1 would make grateful acknowledgment to all who have con- 
 tributed to this work, and would especially mention : Parsons 
 P. Meacham, Meridian, N. Y. ; Alden Smith, East Haddam, 
 Conn. ; Eev. H. W. Eead, El Paso, Texas ; Mrs. Anna M. Dins- 
 more, Portland, Mich.

 GENEALOGY. 
 
 1ST. 
 
 Matthew Smith, a cordwainer (a shoemaker), came from Sand- 
 wich, County of Kent, England, in 1637, with his wife, Jane 
 and four children, and was said to have been admitted inhabitant 
 of Charlestown, Mass., the same year. His wife became a 
 member of the church Oct. 22, 1639, and he in May, 1643. 
 The names of the children could not be ascertained. In 1658, 
 he was a householder, under the title of Good-man. The time 
 of the death of Matthew and Jane does not appear.

 Matthew Smith of Woburn, Mass., undoubtedly son of Mat- 
 thew of Charlestown, Mass., was born in England and had seven 
 children.

 Matthew and Thomas settled at Mt. Parnassus, in the central 
 part of East Haddam, Conn., about 1706, each receiving a^deed 
 of a tract of land of Rev. Stephen Hosmer, bearing date Oct. 
 14, 1708, which was the beginning of 'the " Smith Homestead." 
 Thomas, in 1708 or 1709, enlisted to go on an expedition to 
 Albany, N. Y., to make the quota of Connecticut, 350 men, 
 required for the reduction of the French. Ninety of the num- 
 ber never returned, Thomas being one of them. 
 
 Elizabeth married Thomas Hungerford, and lived on a farm 
 by the Eight Mile river, in East Haddam, Conn. Mary was 
 unmarried, as appears by the following agreement :

 BE IT KNOWN TO ALL TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I We, Thomas 
 
 Hungerford, and Elizabeth Hungerford, my wife, and Mary 
 Smith, all of Haddam, on the east side of the great river, in ye 
 County of Hartford and colony of Connecticut, for ourselves, 
 our heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, do hereby mutu- 
 ally agree with our loving brother, Matthew Smith, of the town 
 and county aforesaid, concerning ye distribution of ye estate of 
 our brother, Thomas Smith, late of said Haddam, deceased, that

 due from said estate, and to enjoy the lands belonging to ye 
 estate of ye said Thomas Smith, deceased, as his own inheritance, 
 to him, the said Matthew Smith, his heirs and assigns forever : 
 the remainder of the estate to be divided after the following 
 
 O 
 
 method : Ye said Matthew Smith is to have one undivided or 
 half part of the movables to his own proper use and behoof for- 
 ever : ye said Thomas and Elizabeth Hungerford and said Mary 
 Smith are to have the other half of ye movable estate of ye said 
 Thomas Smith, deceased, equally divided between them, upon

 late expedition to Albany, the said Matthew Smith is to take 
 care to get his wages, and it is to be divided in the same manner

 in 1684, in Lyme, Conn., ra. Nov. 28, 1706, Sarah Mack, who 
 was b. in 1684, and was sister of Josiah Mack, ancestor of Col. 
 David Mack, "The Faithful Steward." He d. Dec. 6, 1751. 
 She d. Jan. 18, 1755. 
 
 Matthew 4th came to East Haddara, Conn., the 6th day 
 of Nov., 1706, and built a dwelling house on the tract of 
 land purchased of Rev. Stephen Hosmer, which was occu- 
 pied until 1778, when the present house was built by hia 
 Bon, Matthew 5th, and thus this homestead has been in the fam- 
 ily nearly two hundred years, and the present house, over a hun- 
 dred years old, is a tall and stately mansion, overlooking all the 
 dwellings in the valley. He was a tanner, and received a license, 
 of which the following is a copy : 
 
 "At a County Court at Hartford, March ye 5th, 1705-6, this 
 court grants liberty to Matthew Smith, now residing at Haddam, 
 to set up and use the trade of tanning of leather, the court being 
 certified of his skill and ability to manage that trade."

 CHILDREN : 
 
 I. Conant, b. July 6, 1760, m. Alice Houghton, (dau. of Joab 
 Houghton). Rev. Spencer Houghton Cone, D. D., of New 
 York City, an eminent Baptist divine, was his son and was b. 
 April 30, 1785, and m. May, 1813, Sally Wallace Morrell of 
 Philadelphia. He was in Princeton College for a time, then a 
 teacher, and in 1805 became an actor and played in Philadelphia
 
 20 
 
 and other cities with good success for seven years. Miss Mor- 
 rell saw him on the stage and fell in love with him, but before 
 she would marry him she required him to give up the stage, 
 which he did and took an editorial position on a Baltimore news- 
 paper. In 1814 he got an appointment in the treasury under 
 Geo. M. Dallas, at the same time turning his attention to the 
 pulpit and preaching in some churches in Washington and the 
 neighborhood. In 1815-16 Congress made him chaplain, and in 
 1823 he was called to the Oliver St. Baptist church, New York 
 City, and in 1841 he took charge of the Broome St. church, 
 where he remained till his death, in 1855. During his entire 
 ministry he was conspicuous in all branches of church work. He 
 was a prominent divine in the Baptist denomination, which lie 
 divided by the introduction of his new version. He left a son, 
 Spencer Wallace (Cone), who was a journalist and poet. He was 
 colonel of the 61st Reg. N. Y. YoL, and d. at Larchmont 
 Manor, at the house of his son-in-law, Chas. A. Stevenson. Mr. 
 C.'s daughter, (Mrs. Stevenson) went on the stage and gained 
 a reputation. She is best known as " Kate Claxton." 
 
 II. Alice, b. Feb. 18, 1T62, m. a Mr. Sparrow. Both Alice 
 and her brother Conant lived at their grandfather Spencer's after 
 their father died. Conant was aid, in the Revolutionary war, 
 for his gr. father, Joseph Cone.

 IV. John. 
 Y. Martha. 
 
 VI. Timothy, b. May 20, 1777, m. in 1806, Sarah Howard 
 Bailey, who was b. in 1790. He d. in 1864. He alone lived 
 with his mother, and when fourteen she took him to New 
 Hampshire to learn the trade of millwright. When his time 
 was out, at the age of twenty-one, he went to E. Haddam, 
 expecting to find his mother there, but learned that she had been 
 dead two years. Her brother, Dr. Joseph Spencer, lived in Lan- 
 singburgh, N. Y., and she went to visit him, but when she 
 arrived there she found he had gone to Ohio, and it so preyed 
 upon her mind that she became deranged and after awhile died. 
 (All of Joseph and Martha's family suffered from insanity except 
 Timothy.)

 Signed and sealed in presence of Israel Champion, Elijah Par-

 Dec. 10, 1792. My dear children : 
 
 I have this day made my last will and testament. I have 
 divided to you my estate, which it has pleased God to give me, 
 in such proportions as, after long deliberation, I think just and 
 right, without particular favor or partiality to any one I pray 
 God that you may live in peace and that a divine blessing may 
 attend you and yours to the latest posterity ; it is my advice 
 and charge to you to avoid all contentions in regard to the sev- 
 eral divisions and proportions I have assigned you, and I hope 
 you will believe that I have acted according to my wisdom and 
 without any bias or prejudice for or against any one. 
 
 I bid you farewell, and while I live I shall continue to pray 
 that we may meet together in a better world and be heirs of the 
 heavenly inheritance.

 Descendants of Elizabeth Smith. 
 
 Elizabeth, dau. of Matthew 5th, gr. dau. of Matthew 4th, b. 
 Nov. 12, 1750, in E. Haddam, Conn., m. Oliver Ackley, who 
 was b. in 1750 and d. Sept. 17, 1827. She d. April 4, 1815, and 
 both were buried at Rock Landing, E. Haddam, Conn. He kept 
 a hotel and was a blacksmith. But little can be ascertained of 
 this family, probably because of their early departure to Ohio. 
 
 From the Middle Haddam church records we learn that Oliver 
 Ackley was son of Benjamin Ackley, and that he was baptized 
 Dec. 2, 1750, and that his wife, Elizabeth Ackley, 1 united with 
 the church there Sept. 2, 1781, and also that three of their chil- 
 dren were baptized Dec. 2, 1781, one Sept. 9, 1787, and one 
 Nov. 8, 1789. It is known that they had six children : 
 
 1. Rebecca. 
 
 2. Polly. 
 
 3. Elizabeth. 
 
 4. Asa, who in. (it is thought a person named Young), 
 worked with his father, blacksmithing, and built and ironed off 
 an ox wagon, with hoop bows overhead, with which to emigrate 
 to Ohio. He had children, among them a boy who was a ring- 
 leader among the boys. 
 
 5. Sally. 
 
 6. Oliver, who m. Feb. 6, 1808, Susan Strong. Oliver Ack- 
 ley, Senior, married, after the death of his wife, Matilda Cole, 
 who had been his housekeeper. 
 
 With the exception of the record of the descendants of the 
 above family, the genealogy will now be found to be complete 
 except in a few instances, where letters have been repeatedly 
 sent and the parties have neglected or not desired to answer.

 of the militia. He moved to Middlefield, Mass., about 1783.

 Louisa Harper, who was b. Jan. 1, 1815, in Harpersfield, Ohio. 
 His father died when he was nine years old, and when he was ten 
 his mother offered him the present of a nice book, if he would 
 cultivate a piece of land and raise potatoes, and do it well, and 
 as a result of his labors he carried into the cellar thirty bushels, 
 and received " Robin Hood," with which he was then very much 
 delighted. Soon after he went to Middlefield, Mass., to work 
 for his uncle Samuel until he was twenty-one, going to school 
 winters and receiving a good education, and teaching school 
 some. Soon after he went to Ohio, married and settled in Russell, 
 then moved [to Locke, Michigan (P. O. address being Williams- 
 ton), where he has preached, as opportunity offered, and is a 
 farmer. They have no children but an adopted son, who is mar- 
 ried and lives near them, to care for them in their declining 
 years. 
 
 4. Thomas Martin, son of Anna, gr. son of Matthew 6th, b. 
 Aug. 29, 1818, in Washington, Mass., m. 1st, April 16, 1843, 
 Permelia Wheat, who was b. April 22, 1820, in Glastonbury, 
 Conn., and d. Jan. 1, 1887, in Hartford, Conn., having been for 
 thirty years an invalid and a great sufferer much of the time for 
 the last twenty years. 
 
 He m. 2d, Nov. 1, 1887, Sophia Smith (dau. of John, gr. dau. 
 of Matthew 7th, who was b. April 21, 1847, in Middlefield, 
 Mass., and is the author of " Mack Genealogy " and of this work, 
 also). At the age of seventeen he went to Hartford, Conn. pav- 
 ing previously been there during the winter of 1834-35, attend- 
 ing the Grammar school, and since then has made his home 
 there. For the first ten years he was in the employ ol 
 his brother-in-law, James Noble, who was a manufacturer of and 
 wholesale and retail dealer in, ready-made clothing. 
 
 In 1848 he began business on his own account, in the retail 
 grocery trade, which, under his tact and active business qualities, 
 soon grew to large proportions, so that in 1850 the sales 
 amounted to one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. After 
 1850 he added to the business a candle factory, and the sales 
 were large, and not only embraced the New England 
 New York and even Michigan. In those days the use 
 candles was not despised even in the best families, and the busi- 
 
 '&/
 
 52 
 
 ness was large and the profits considerable. (His integrity in 
 business was never tarnished, thus his credit was never ques- 
 tioned.) He continued in that business until 1857, when he 
 dropped it and took up the buying of hides and fat, curing the 
 hides and trying the fat. This, too, soon grew to large propor- 
 tions and was prosecuted with energy until the close of the "War 
 of the Rebellion, when, finding the business could be closed up 
 and leave him with a fair competence, he concluded to let 
 others do the business, while he retired and looked after his 
 investments, the principal of which was stock in the Hartford 
 Bridge Co., until 1889, when the bridge became free. The com- 
 pany wound up its affairs early in 1890. In 1865 he became 
 director, then president, and since 1877 has been secretary and 
 treasurer. In the " Hartford Times," dated Nov. 20, 1889, 
 is found the following : " Mr. Thomas Martin was identified 
 with the bridge company for fifty-five years. In 1834 he was 
 employed to fill and light the lamps. He filled the lamps in the 
 morning, saturating the wicks with spirits of turpentine. In the 
 early evening he went through the bridge with a torch and 
 lighted them ; this, seven days in the week, for which he received 
 fifty cents ! or seven cents, one mill and three-sevenths of a mill 
 per day. Think of that, poor young man of 1889. He worked 
 his way, attending the old Grammar School on Linden Place, 
 and earning money enough to support himself in the odd hours 
 of the school's recesses," etc. His deeds of charity are many, 
 but given in a quiet way.

 who was b. Feb. 3, 1788, in Middlefield, Mass., and d. Mar. 14, 
 1871, in Manlius, N. Y. He was brought up on his father's 
 farm, where he lived until 1807. His early education was 
 acquired in the common schools, supplemented by one winter's 
 attendance at the academy at Westfield, Mass. 
 
 In 1807 he went to Manlius, N. Y., where he engaged in mer- 
 cantile business, which, with cotton manufacturing, was his 
 employment through life. He was widely known as a man of 
 remarkable business capacity, generosity, public spirit and per- 
 fect integrity, and was often selected for important trusts. 
 
 In 1824: he was a presidential elector, and as such voted for 
 John Quincy Adams. 
 
 In 1838, 1839 and 1840 he was a member of Assembly for 
 Onondaga 'Co., N. Y. 
 
 That he was an active supporter of the cause of education is 
 shown by the note.worthy fact that at the time of his decease he 
 was R, trustee of the common school district where he resided, of 
 Manlius Academy, of Hamilton College and of Auburn Theo- 
 logical Seminary ; being, at the same time, trustee of one insti- 
 tution in each grade of the educational system of New York. 
 
 He resided at Manlius until his death, which occurred Nov. 
 12, 1846, at New Haven, Conn., where he had gone in hopes of 
 benefiting his health.

 b. Feb. 16, 1817, in Manlius, N. Y., m. July 6, 1848, Corinth 
 S. Elder, who was b. Jan. 24, 1820, in Cortlandville, N. Y. He 
 was a graduate of Yale College, Yale Medical Institute, New 
 Haven Theological Seminary, and attended a course of lectures 
 at the law school. 
 
 He was ordained Aug. 30, 1842, at Manlius, N. Y., as an 
 evangelist, to labor in foreign fields ; sailed from Boston as a 
 missionary of the A. B. C. F. M., for Smyrna, Nov. 10, 1842, 
 expecting to join Dr. Grant at Mosul, and engage with him and 
 others in labors for the Mt. Nestorians. Disturbances in the 
 country prevented his obtaining a passport, and the accomplish- 
 ment of his plans was delayed until 1844. He reached Mosul but 
 a short time previous to Dr. Grant's death. Finding the Nesto- 
 rians greatly diminished and scattered by the war, it was thought 
 wise to disband the mission, and he returned to the sea-coast. 
 (It was on this journey that Dr. Smith first learned that there were 
 a few men inquiring after the Truth, living in the city of Aintab, 
 Syria). Having reached the sea-coast, he soon connected him- 
 self with the Armenian Turkish mission. His medical skill 
 called him from place to place, and it was not until the fall of 
 1845 that he became a resident of Erzeroom, in Asia Minor, and 
 he labored till July, 1847.
 
 59 
 
 In 1846, while absent, his house was mobbed by the Arme- 
 nians, because of his having received into his house an Armenian 
 priest who was inquiring after the Truth ; but God overruled it 
 for good. 
 
 In the fall of 1847 he was commissioned to labor in Aintab, 
 Syria. He reached the city in December, having been delayed 
 by an attack of cholera while journeying. He found the light 
 flickering and apparently just ready to go out, but the Lord had a 
 great and glorious work in store for him. His legal, medical and 
 biblical knowledge were brought into requisition, and from early 
 morn till late at night, body, soul and mind were found " diligent 
 in business, fervent inspirit, serving the Lord," till June 3, 1851, 
 when, after a short but painful illness, the Lord called him to 
 enter into his rest. 
 
 His wife, Corinth S. (Elder) Smith, continued for two more 
 years to labor with the women, going from house to house, when a 
 severe sickness compelled her return to this country, in the 
 hope of restoration and return. She, however, did not so far 
 regain strength as to make it prudent for her to resume her mis- 
 sionary work, and so she cheerfully devoted herself to a life of 
 Christian usefulness and service in this country. Her home was 
 chiefly with her brother-in-law (Rev. A. K. Strong, D. D.), 
 where she lightened the domestic cares of the pastor's wife and 
 actively engaged in all good works among the members of his 
 congregation. She lived mainly for others, and died at the resi- 
 dence of Rev. Addison K. Strong, Sept. 8, 1888. She gently 
 breathed her life away after a lingering illness, of which the later 
 symptoms were chiefly debility and slowly progressive paralysis.

 He attended Manlius Academy, and in 1868-70 took a special 
 course at Cornell University, and, in 1870, accompanied Prof. 
 C. F. Hartt to Brazil as his assistant in scientific work. Since 
 then he has made four trips there, principally with the object of 
 studying and collecting animals ; from 1873-77 worked most of 
 the time on the Amazon later, at llio de Janeiro, in 1878, he 
 made two trips in the interest of the (theu) Scribner's Monthly, 
 and from 1881-86, accompanied by his wife and two assistants, 
 made an extensive tour of exploration, especially of the Amazon 
 river, following it in canoes to its sources, Mrs. Smith being the 
 first white woman who ever saw the upper waters of the Amazon.
 
 In 1888, he traveled in Mexico, and is now engaged in scientific 
 work in the West Indies, under the auspices of the Royal Society 
 and British Association. He has written in English, " Brazil,

 "Scribner's," "The American Naturalist," etc.; and in Portu-

 course of publication). He is a member of the American Geo- 
 graphical Society and also of the Geographical societies of Rio

 7. Wm. Manlius Smith, son of Azariah, gr. son of Matthew 
 6th, b. Sept. 26, 1823, in Manlius, N. Y., m. Aug. 6, 1847, 
 Frances Louisa Hall, who was b. Mar. 25, 1826, in Durham, 
 Conn. She was a teacher in a female seminary at Alton, 111., 
 and on her way home from there stopped at Manlius, N. Y., to 
 visit him and his parents. His mother had invited to a. family 
 tea quite a number of relatives, and then the marriage took 
 place, much to the surprise of all present. Wm. Manlius began 
 attending the district school when three years old, and, being 
 favored all his school life with good teachers and out of school 
 hours his studies receiving considerable attention from his 
 parents, he grew up with a love for books and a taste for read- 
 ing. His father had a custom of giving to each of his children
 
 62 
 
 a new copy of the Bible on the completion of its first reading 
 through by course, and he received his before he was seven years 
 old. He attended two or three select schools, studying in them 
 Higher English, Latin and Greek, and in his tenth year was 
 reading Virgil, but was not thoroughly drilled in these studies 
 until he attended Manlius Academy, where he had most compe- 
 tent and thorough instruction in the grammar of these languages 
 under the teaching of two Amherst graduates, W. H. Tyler and 
 C. C. Bayley. His academic instruction was supplemented, 
 especially in mathematics, by his father's oversight and direction. 
 One summer in particular, he arranged for him to study his 
 algebra from five o'clock in the morning till breakfast time, 
 at six, his father sitting by, reading, but ready to explain any- 
 thing hard of comprehension. 
 
 He was a pupil in Manlius Academy from its commencement, 
 in 1835, till the end of the summer term of 1840, and the fall of 
 that year entered as Freshman at Yale College, New Haven, 
 Conn., graduating in the class of 1844. The first two years he 
 roomed with his brother Azariah, who was there pursuing his theo- 
 logical studies. He says of him: "I have never before or 
 since known a person whose whole life, even to minute details, 
 was so thoroughly pervaded with the Christian spirit as was his, 
 and in all the two years of this intimate association with him I 
 never knew him to do a sinful act. A portion of his time not 
 occupied with theological studies, he gave to furtherance of his 
 medical knowledge by attending private courses of lectures given 
 by Dr. William Tully, in Materia Medica, Chemistry and the 
 Theory and Practice of Medicine. In one hour of social inter- 
 course he frequently gave me abstracts of these lectures, and 
 thus gave my mind a direction toward the pursuit of medical 
 studies." 
 
 Tho winter of 1844 he spent in the office of Dr. Alden March, 
 at Albany, and attended lectures at the Medical College there. 
 In the summer of 1845, he took private instructions in medicine of 
 Dr. William Tully, and in the winter attended the Medical Col- 
 lege at Albany, and in the summer of 1846 returned to New 
 Haven to be with Dr. Tully ; also in 1847. In October, 1848, 
 he began attendance on a full course of medical lectures at the
 
 63 
 
 University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, and received from 
 that institution the degree of M. D., March, 1849. In June he 
 opened an office in Syracuse, N. Y., and lived there till the fall 
 of 1851, when it seemed desirable that he should return to Man- 
 lius to live with and care for his mother, and there he engaged 
 in the practice of medicine till the fall of 1872 (with an inter- 
 mission of 1857 and 1858), when he received an appointment to 
 lecture on pharmacy, during the winter, in the New York Col- 
 lege of Pharmacy. 
 
 In October, 1873, he established himself in chemical business 
 in Syracuse, N. Y. From May, 1874, till December, 1875, was 
 physician at the State prison at Sing Sing, N. Y., when he 
 resigned and returned to his business at Syracuse. In 1877 he 
 was made Professor of Materia Medica in the Syracuse University, 
 and in 1878 exchanged places with the Professor of Chemistry, 
 which position he still holds as well as Professor of Botany. 
 
 From the fact that he is a renowned chemist he has many 
 times been consulted in cases of death from supposed poisoning, 
 and made several examinations, in which he has been happily 
 instrumental in demonstrating the innocence of the suspected 
 party, and in a few cases where poison was found, for some 
 reason the parties were not brought to trial. 
 
 He was in Utica a year and a half, acting as chemist in refin- 
 ing gold for a manufacturer of what was then known as sponge 
 gold. 
 
 In Manlius he held the office of village trustee, and also of 
 the schools, and of Manlius Academy, and was largely influen- 
 tial in having an academic department in the Union school at Man- 
 lius, and of turning over to its uses the property of the defunct 
 academy. He was secretary of the Medical Society of Onondaga 
 county for several years and of the Medical Society of the State 
 of New York from 1877 to 1889 ; also secretary of the Manlius 
 and Pompey Agricultural Association for upwards of twenty 
 years. 
 
 He united with the College church in New Haven in 1841, 
 and transferred his connection from that to the First Pres- 
 byterian church in Syracuse in 1849. When he returned to 
 Manlius he became connected with its Presbyterian church and
 
 64 
 
 served many years as one of its trustees and its clerk and treas- 
 urer. A part of the time he was S. S. superintendent, and a few 
 years before his last removal to Syracuse (in 1881), he was one 
 of its elders. 
 
 He has for years suffered from malarial troubles, and his 
 achievements have been less than they might otherwise have 
 been. They have a large family and reside on Holland street, 
 Syracuse, N. Y.

 of the telegraph office at Palmyra, N. Y., and has been in the 
 employ of the N. Y. C. R. R. Co. ever since. In 1873 and 
 1874 she was operator at Palmyra, "Waterloo and Suspension 
 Bridge, and in February, 1875, was sent to Holly, N". Y., and in 
 June was put in charge of ticket office there. She remained at 
 Holly until April, 1880, when she was transferred to Albion to 
 assume a similar position. The Holly Standard has the follow- 
 ing complimentary notice: "Miss Hattie Smith, who has for 
 some years been the ticket agent and operator at the Holly 
 depot, went to Albion on Tuesday to assume a similar position 
 there, but at quite an advance in wages. We have heard and 
 witnessed, within the last thirty-six hours, a great deal of sor- 
 row and mourning over this change. Miss Smith has greatly 
 endeared herself to the people of Holly, both in a business and 
 social way. Everybody of course is glad to learn of her promo- 
 tion and advance in a pecuniary sense, and their best wishes for 
 her future success and happiness surely go with her." 
 
 She served in Albion, N. Y., until February, 1884, when she 
 was transferred to Lockport, N. Y. The Albion Chronicle of 
 Feb. 23, 1884, contained the following : " Miss Hattie Smith, 
 who has been the Central-Hudson ticket agent at this station for 
 four years past, has been transferred to Lockport to take charge 
 of the ticket office in that city. Miss Smith, during her stay 
 among us, has won a host of friends by her ladylike deportment 
 and accommodating and courteous demeanor toward everyone. 
 She left for her new field of labor Wednesday afternoon. The 
 change was made on short notice, but a few of her friends near 
 the depot clubbed together and procured a copy of Webster's 
 Unabridged Dictionary, which, together with a standard, was 
 forwarded to her the same evening." She remained at Lock- 
 port until December, 1886, when, at her own request, she was 
 allowed to give up the tickets entirely, and was moved to the tele- 
 graph office in Syracuse, where she still remains.

 " To Dr. Wm. Manlius Smith and Family : 
 
 At the regular session of the Good Will Sunday School, Feb. 
 27, 1887, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted : 
 
 WHEREAS, Our Father having prepared a mansion and called 
 to his heavenly home our brother, Dea. Azariah Smith, the mem- 
 bers of Good Will Sunday School desire to make some expres- 
 sion of our love for him and our sorrow for all who held him 
 dear; therefore, Resolved, that, although we know that our 
 words are of no avail, we extend our sympathy to his family and 
 pray that God may prove himself indeed a God of comfort and 
 strength. R-',s-->loed, that while we realize our great loss as a 
 Sunday school, we know that our brother has received infinite 
 gain. He who lived among us such a beautiful life of prayer 
 and trust is truly at home amid the glories of his Father's house, 
 and there remains for us the memory and influence of his sweet 
 example and the inspiration of the thought that his prayers and 
 service are not interrupted but perfected. Resolved^ That this 
 testimonial be entered upon the school records and a copy sent 
 to the family of our friend." 
 
 VI. Aulus Smith, son of Wm. Manlius, gr. son of Azariah, 
 b. July 18, 1858, in Manlius, !N. Y., graduated at the Union 
 school in 1879, being chosen historian of his class. He became 
 intensely interested in the art of printing, and soon after his 
 graduation obtained a situation in the job office of the Syracuse
 
 67 
 
 Daily Journal, and is now in the Eagle Printing House. He 
 has studied phonography, and at one time purchased a type 
 writer and did type-writing for the lawyers and business men of 
 the city. He is passionately fond of music. 
 
 VII. Walter Storm Smith, son of Win. Manlius, gr. son of 
 Azariah, b. Feb. 7, 1860, in Manlius, N. Y., and d. Dec. 11, 
 1888. He was an expert chemist, pursued his studies under 
 Prof. Goessman, at Amherst Agricultural College, Mass., in 
 1882 and '83, then returned to Syracuse and engaged in analyti- 
 cal chemical work in connection with Prof. F. E. Engelhardt till 
 March, 1886, when Dr. E. became superintendent of salt works 
 at Pifford, N. Y., and he carried on the work alone. About this 
 time he was appointed Milk Inspector for the Health Board of 
 the city of Syracuse, and continued in their employ till his death, 
 after an illness of only a fortnight. He was unmarried and had 
 always resided at home. He was an active member and sup- 
 porter of the Good Will Congregational church of Syracuse, N. 
 Y., and was librarian of the S. S. for years. 
 
 Copy of words of sympathy sent to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. 
 Smith : 
 
 " Our Heavenly Father, in his wisdom and love, has called our 
 brother, Walter S. Smith, home, as Jesus said, to be with Him 
 where He is. 
 
 " We desire by this to express our sympathy with those who 
 miss him from their household, and to tell of our love for him. 
 He was among us full of love, cheerfulness and kindness, a fol- 
 lower of Jesus Christ. We remember him as ready for the 
 Lord's work as it came before him and willing and earnest in 
 doing it. He was one of those of whom we can say, ' He was 
 faithful unto the end.' His work and influence shall remain 
 with us and his memory is precious to us all.

 riah, b. Aug. 21, 1862, in Manlius, N. Y., attended the Union 
 school in Manlius, from which he graduated in 1879, and 
 that fall entered the High school at Syracuse, N. Y., and in 1881 
 became a freshman at Syracuse University. In 1883 he left the 
 university for the position of a bank clerk in Binghamton, N. 
 Y., which position he held for over a year, when he left for a 
 position in the office of Joseph P. Noyes & Co., Binghamton, N. 
 Y., which position he still retains. 
 
 IX, Allen Macy Smith, son of Wm. Manlius, gr. son of Aza- 
 riah, b. June 26, 1864, in Manlius, N. Y., graduated from Manlius 
 Graded school, in June, 1880. In July, 1880, he took part in a 
 competitive examination for scholarships to Cornell University, 
 thaca, N. Y., and obtained a scholarship, but it was finally 
 decided that he should not go to Cornell. He attended the High 
 school in Syracuse for a year or two and the Syracuse University 
 for about two years. In June, 1886, he graduated from Amherst 
 College, Amherst, Mass., and from the Syracuse Medical Col- 
 lege, at the head of his class, in June, 1889. He was recom- 
 mended to Willard Asylum, Willard, N. Y., by Dr. Carson of 
 the Syracuse Idiot Asylum and by Dr. Yan Duyn of Syracuse, N.
 
 69 
 
 Y,, in whose office he spent considerable time during his course 
 at the medical college. Soon after graduating from the medical 
 college he went to Willard on a three months trial, passed a most 
 excellent civil service medical examination, and at the end of 
 three months was regularly appointed assistant physician there, 
 where he is at present. 
 
 X. Clara Smith, dan. of Wm. Manlius, gr, dau. of Azariah, b. 
 Feb. 5, 1866, in Manlius, N", Y., graduated from the Manlius 
 Graded school of Manliu?, N. Y., in June, 1881, and from the 
 High school at Syracuse, N. Y., in January, 1884, and in June, 
 
 1887, from the Syracuse Medical College, at the head of her class. 
 She went immediately to New York City, and for over a year 
 had charge of the drug room at the dispensary of the " Woman's 
 Infirmary for Women and Children," which work she did 
 in a very satisfactory manner ; while there saw considerable 
 clinical practice. She returned to Syracuse in the summer of 
 
 1888, and for six months was in Dr. Didama's office. In April, 
 
 1889, she opened an office of her own in Syracuse, where she 
 now is. She has been, so far, very successful and seems well 
 fitted for the profession she has chosen. 
 
 XI. Louisa Smith, dau. of Wm. Manlius, gr. dau. of 
 Azariah, b. July 18, 1868, in Manlius, N. Y., attended school in 
 Manlius for some time, but did not remain and graduate, but 
 entered the High school at Syracuse, N. Y., from which she 
 graduated in January, 1885. She then took a course in the 
 teachers' training class, and in June, 1886, began teaching. She 
 taught her first year at East Syracuse, and at the close of that 
 year was given a position in the Montgomery school in Syracuse, 
 where she still is. She has always had charge of quite young 
 children and seems peculiarly and especially adapted to that 
 branch in the school, judging from the success which has attended 
 her labors. She resides with her parents.

 Francis Emroy Warren, who was b. June 20, 1844, in Hinsdale, 
 Mass., and resided there and in adjoining towns until 1868. His 
 younger days were spent on a farm and in the school room until 
 the outbreak of the civil war, when he enlisted in Company C, 
 Forty-ninth Regiment Mass. Yolunteers. The self-possession, 
 culture and bravery which have since characterized his success in 
 business life secured his promotion to the position of captain in 
 the Massachusetts militia, to which he was appointed by Gov. 
 John A. Andrew. When but twenty-three years of age he went 
 to Des Moines, Iowa, and in June, 1868, to Cheyenne, Wyoming. 
 He took a position as clerk in the business of which he has since
 
 77 
 
 acquired the ownership. In public life he has held many prom- 
 inent offices in the territory, and has had the best of opportuni- 
 ties of familiarizing himself with the territory's affairs and needs. 
 He has been territorial treasurer, presiding officer of the higher 
 branch of the Legislature and twice a member and chairman of 
 the Republican central committee. He has been a member of 
 the city council and was mayor of Cheyenne, when, on Feb. 25, 
 1885, President Arthur appointed him governor, which position 
 he occupied twenty-one months. His record in the executive's 
 chair is one to which any man might point with pride. His 
 opposition to the Sparks land policy, which has since been exe- 
 crated by every intelligent man of both parties, resulted in his 
 removal. His prompt action in suppressing the Chinese riots in 
 the Rock Springs coal mines stamped him as a man of courage 
 and executive ability. March 26, 1889, President Harrison reap- 
 pointed him governor, and there was great rejoicing in the terri- 
 tory, not confined to any political party. He is the most popu- 
 lar man in Wyoming, among Democrats and Republicans alike. 
 To-day he owns cattle and sheep ranches, the gas works and 
 electric light works and several business blocks. He is president 
 of the Cheyenne board of trade and of the F. E. Warren Mer- 
 cantile Co. Since Wyoming became a State he has been 
 
 re-elected governor and on Nov. 18, 1890, wa& elected U S 
 senator.

 and at present is carrying on the latter at Huntington, Mass. He 
 has been unfortunate, as the dams built were not enduring 
 enough to resist the mighty torrent which the Westfield river

 becomes during the of t-recurring freshets which occur during the 
 rainy seasons and when the ice breaks up in the spring and goes 
 out with irresistible force, but in 1875 he built a dam that has

 In the Cheyenne Daily Leader of June 3d is the following : 
 " The people of Cheyenne were startled yesterday by the report 
 of the death of Mrs. Chas. M. Smith. Comparatively few peo- 
 ple were aware of her illness and none appreciated its danger- 
 ous character. During their residence in this city Mrs. Smith 
 had made for herself a host of friends. Charming in manner 
 and person, well read and sprightly in disposition, a superb host- 
 ess and entertainer, she won her way into the affections of all 
 her acquaintances. Her disposition was at all times affable and
 
 79 
 
 unaffected. There was a charm in her manner and a warmth in 
 her greeting which gave outward evidence of her kindly disposi- 
 tion and personification to the poet's lines : 
 
 ' None knew her but to love her, 
 None named her but to praise.' 
 
 u A fitting tribute was paid to her by the literary circle of 
 which she was the respected president. 
 
 " At a called meeting of the Beta Social Literary circle of this 
 city the following resolutions were adopted : 
 
 " WHEREAS, It has pleased our all-wise and loving Father to 
 remove Mrs. Laura P. Smith, beloved president of the Beta 
 Social Literary circle, to the circle of the redeemed and crowned 
 in heaven, 
 
 " Resolved^ That we express our heartfelt sympathy to the 
 bereaved husband and relatives in this unexpected and deep 
 affliction, and testify to the virtues, graces and accomplishments 
 of our president. Words are weak to convey our sense of per- 
 sonal loss. Mrs. Smith was, by her simple, charming and affable 
 manners, one of the most lovable of persons, unaffected and sin- 
 cere in her friendship. 
 
 " Resolved, That these resolutions be transmitted to the hus- 
 band of the deceased as a token of our love for her, and that the 
 newspapers of the city be each supplied with a copy. 
 
 " The funeral was held at the Baptist church on her 30th 
 birthday. The immediate cause of her death was probably peri- 
 tonitis. Although she had not been in robust health for several 
 years she was not an invalid by any means, and her death was 
 as peaceful as the sinking of a tired child to rest."

 3, 1885, in Northampton, Mass.

 As soon as married they started on the Selina, with six other 
 passengers, for flilo, Hawaiian Islands, and in the Hawaiian 
 Gazette, Feb. 22, 1887, was found the following : 
 
 "WKECK OF THE SELINA." 
 
 " Friday, Feb. 11, twelve days from San Francisco, with a 
 full cargo of merchandise, cows, mules, hogs and six passengers. 
 On coming into the harbor, just at dark, she was cast upon the 
 rocks, under the high bluff, one-half mile from Waimaker Sugar 
 Mill, and became a total wreck. By a miracle, almost, the pas- 
 sengers and all on board were saved, but they had to be drawn 
 through the surf and helped up the almost perpendicular bluff,
 
 99 
 
 over 100 ft. high, to terra firma, and thence conveyed by foot 
 men and on horseback over the worst possible of roads, mud 
 almost waist deep, for at least half a mile, to a place where car- 
 riages could be taken. 
 
 " The anchors were both cast out when it was found the Selina 
 was drifting, but both chains parted and a sudden squall threw the 
 brig upon the rocks a ship's length from the strand, with the break- 
 ers dashing furiously over the ship at dark, 6:30 p. M. The first 
 idea of accident to the Selina that any one at Hilo had was when 
 the whistle blew at "Waimaker's, but it was so dark that noth- 
 ing could be seen, save the running to and fro of lights on the 
 shore. Soon after a gun was fired as a signal of distress, fol- 
 lowed by a second, which told the Hiloites that there certainly 
 was trouble and help was needed. For some days the surf had 
 been very high, and as the Selina came along it was found that 
 her passengers could not land at the wharf. The club boat 
 went off to the Selina and Mr. Awai, the custom house officer, 
 took passage in it. After the Selina anchored (it being about 
 dark), the club boat left and pulled for the shore, which was 
 reached (with the boat full of water) about 7 o'clock. The Hilo- 
 ites had sent for boats to Warkea, and issued an order to Judge 
 Lyman to call on all the vessels in the harbor for help. An 
 attempt was also made to get the little steamer, Ivy Holmes, but 
 she was out of repair. All Hilo was astir. Soon word arrived 
 that Awai had jumped overboard and swam for the shore, but 
 the task was more than he supposed, and after being beaten about 
 by the waves, he was dragged ashore more dead than alive, and 
 was brought into Hilo, to his home. For two hours all on board 
 were being wet and thrown down by the waves that constantly 
 dashed in fury over the vessel, throwing down all who attempted 
 to stand. In time ropes were rigged from the shore to the ship, 
 and the passengers and crew, one by one, were drawn through 
 the breakers to the shore, where they were cared for by willing 
 hands. By ten o'clock the ship was entirely deserted. .During 
 the night the sea went down considerably and an attempt was 
 made on Saturday to save the freight on board. The passen- 
 gers' baggage was all recovered, but in a wretched condition, 
 everything being soaked with water, and a great portion ruined. 
 The live stock, such as had not been killed by falling masts, were
 
 100 
 
 taken through the breakers to boats lying some distance off (no 
 boats dared come near the wreck), and thus conveyed to Hilo. 
 Before all were off, the ship was found to be on fire, the slaking 
 lime having caught the kerosene in the hold. The hatches 
 were taken off and the flames burst forth with fury. The 
 hatches were replaced to smother the fire, and the hogs were 
 thrown overboard to make their own way through the breakers. 
 By Sunday morning a hose pipe had been found and a flume 
 built to the edge of the bluff, and water poured into the ship and 
 the fire subdued. Monday morning the brig was sold at auc- 
 tion for $110.00. Tuesday the Selina was again found to be on 
 fire, but little could be saved from the wreck except in a very 
 damaged condition. 
 
 " Monday, Awai, the C. H. officer, was around, hunting up the 
 shipwrecked passengers and demanding from each the $2.00 hos- 
 pital tax, the fee required to enter the kingdom. 
 
 "What are the Hilo police good for? They were stationed, 
 Friday night, to watch the wreck and to prevent all stealing, but 
 instead of doing their duty, they at least seemed to connive at 
 the thieving. Portuguese and natives vied with each other as to 
 who would steal the most. Passengers' baggage was taken as 
 well as other things; cases of goods were opened and taken 
 away ; natives were found wearing the apparel of the passengers ; 
 hundreds of dollars worth of property was taken, and yet not ail 
 arrest."

 Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Burt, Hilo, Boarding School. 
 Mrs. George Paty and child, Hilo. 
 Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Gillen, Miss Low, San Francisco. 
 Mr. McChesney, Honolulu. 
 
 Mrs. Burt, in writing to her friends, spoke of their trying to 
 get ashore in boats, aud then spoke of the rope fastened to the 
 ship and a huge rock on the shore, and the passengers would 
 take hold of this rope and slide their hands along while they 
 were pulled along by a smaller rope around their bodies, drawn 
 by those on shore. The sea being rough, the ship would sway,
 
 101 
 
 making some of the time the rope slack, so they were a part of 
 the time in the water and part of the time out. As they were 
 landed under a precipice 150 feet high, they had to be drawn up 
 by ropes around their waists, some of the distance perpendicular, 
 and a part of the way they could help themselves a little, but 
 were terribly bruised and scratched on the rocks. Mrs. Burt lost 
 one barrel (that was burned) of books and bedding, and what 
 was saved, was in a damaged condition, many of her valuables 
 being so badly water-soaked as to be entirely worthless. 
 
 Mr. Burt's father being killed in a battle in the War of the 
 Rebellion, he was obliged, when quite young, to take care of 
 himself, working on farms for a time, then learned the carpen- 
 ter's trade. At the age of twenty-three began a course of study 
 at Oberlin^ and graduated in 1882, and then took a theological 
 course and graduated in 1885, then was pastor at Riverside (a 
 suburb of Cincinnati), Ohio, one year. His health failing he 
 resigned and decided to try the climate of the Sandwich 
 Islands, where he went in May, 1886, and the following Sep- 
 tember began as principal of the Hilo boarding school. Since 
 he has been there he has added an industrial school, built a large 
 shop, with water power, and placed in it considerable machinery, 
 BO that the boys are learning considerable in the mechanic arts.

 19, 1839. 
 
 For thirteen years he spent the summers on the farm (early 
 learning that even small hands could find something to do), and 
 the winters in the little school house near his home. Thanks to
 
 102 
 
 good teachers and the helpful encouragement of his parents, he 
 gained so fair a mastery of the branches taught in common 
 schools that a few months in the Academy at Manlius, N. Y., 
 and two terms at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., sup- 
 plemented by a term under the tuition of his brother Metcalf, 
 enabled him to enter New York Central College, McGrawville, 
 N. Y., with his brother Metcalf, in the autumn of 1851. His 
 father chose that college because of its liberal character, which 
 made no discrimination against sex or color. Immediately on 
 graduating, in 1855, he was elected Professor of Greek and 
 librarian in the college, and continued there until November, 
 1857. Then he taught a year in Kishacoquillas Seminary, in 
 Mifflin Co., Pennsylvania, and from 1859 to 1863 was superin- 
 tendent of schools for that county. From June, 1863, to June, 
 1865, he was cashier in the United States military telegraph ser- 
 vice at Nashville, Tenn. In September, 1865, he became con- 
 nected with the book-publishing house of Ticknor & Fields, Bos- 
 ton, Mass., and has continued with their successors, Fields, 
 Osgood & Co., James R. Osgood & Co., Houghton, Osgood & 
 Co., and Houghton, Mifflin & Co., having charge of the publish- 
 ing department.

 7. Sereno Smith, son of Azariah Smith, gr, son of Jeremiah,

 1889, in Kingsville, Ohio. They resided in Rome, Ohio, where 
 he was murdered, and in the Ashtabula Sentinel was the fol- 
 lowing account: 
 
 " Sereno Smith was a well-to-do farmer, forty-eight years of 
 age, unassuming and universally respected in the locality in 
 which he lived. On the morning of April 25, 1872, he myste- 
 riously disappeared from his. home, and it was thought by his 
 family and friends that he had, in a fit of mental aberration, 
 wandered away or committed suicide, although no cause could 
 be assigned for such an act. With this impression, woods were 
 searched, streams and ponds were dragged with no result. 
 
 " About two weeks after the disappearance of Mr. Smith, Mr. 
 J. H. Phelps, brother of Mrs. Smith, came to Rome, and, while 
 sleeping, dreamed that his brother-in-law had been murdered
 
 129 
 
 and the body concealed in a large manure heap near the barn. 
 Not being a firm believer in dreams he deemed it more a fallacy 
 than a reality. Still being so strongly impressed and the search 
 being still continued, on Sunday morning, May 12, a search 
 was made at the place indicated in the dream, when the body 
 was soon found, presenting a horrid sight and revealing a most 
 brutal murder. The skull was beaten in as by an ax. Suspicion 
 at once pointed to one John Housel, a young man who had been 
 for the past year in the employ of Mr. Smith, and the chain of 
 circumstantial evidence is so strong that he probably will pay 
 the penalty of the crime. As there was no conceivable motive 
 for the murder, the deed was as mysterious as it was brutal." 
 
 Since the above was written Housel has made a full confes- 
 sion of his crime and is now serving a life sentence in the Ohio 
 penitentiary. 
 
 Sereno lived as neighbor to his brother Nelson, and the house 
 has been unoccupied since for seventeen years it has been 
 vacant. 
 
 They had no children.

 Ohio. They reside now in Dorset, Ohio. He owns mills there 
 and at Jefferson, and consider their home in Ashtabula, though 
 they do not remain there all the time. He was the seventh son 
 in succession, and has been commonly called " Doctor " or 
 " Doc " by his intimate friends. 
 
 He received a common school education with one or two 
 years at the academy at Kingsville, Ohio. 
 
 At the age of seventeen he went to Philadelphia, and there 
 engaged in same business in which his older brothers were 
 interested, but returned home in a few years and went into the
 
 130 
 
 lumber business, and for thirty years was a manufacturer and 
 an extensive dealer in lumber and owner of many mills in Ash- 
 tabula Co., Ohio.

 6. Alzina Anna, dau. of Wm. Ingham and Betsey Smith, was 
 b. April 22, 1822, m. June 13, 1844, Kev. H. "W. Kead, who 
 was b. July 17, 1819, in Connecticut. 
 
 She was said to be one of the best English grammarians in 
 New York State when but eighteen years of age. Her talents, 
 eays a friend, were of an unusually high order and her attain- 
 ments numerous and superior. She studied and taught several 
 languages, vocal and instrumental music, and when she had the 
 prospect of becoming a minister's wife, she took a course of 
 studies in theology. At eighteen years of age she was secretary 
 of " The Female Moral Reform Society." Her reports were 
 models of penmanship, grammatical accuracy, charming compo- 
 sition, terse, chaste, yet vigorous and elegant documents. 
 
 She had then and for many years after acquaintances and cor- 
 respondents, such as Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, Mrs. M. G. Clark, 
 Grace Greenwood, Maria Hall, Mrs. Fales, Mrs. Emily B. Jud- 
 son and many others. 
 
 [Perhaps it will be well here to give a little personal history 
 of H. W. Eead before giving an account of their missionary 
 life.] 
 
 He was born of good Revolutionary (War) Baptists, in Jew- 
 ett City, Conn. His father and grandfather were both born 
 there, both Baptist ministers and preached about forty years 
 each. His father moved to Central New York when he was but
 
 173 
 
 two years of age. At BIX years of age he signed the temperance 
 pledge, and has faithfully kept it to this day, and has never used 
 tobacco in any form. At ten years of age he was converted and 
 at once began holding meetings with the children of the neigh- 
 borhood. In 1838 he attended Rev. Wright's academy in 
 Oswego, and was baptized in the Oswego river, by Rev. "Wm. 
 Hutchins. In 1840 was licensed and commenced preaching. In 
 the spring of 1841 entered Madison University at Hamilton. 
 N. Y., and was at once appointed bookkeeper for the Education 
 Society. Had a large S. S. four miles away, preached during 
 term time, and held protracted meetings during vacation. 
 
 A few months before he was ready to graduate in his classical, 
 theological and medical studies, Alzina, then his fiance'e, was sick 
 almost unto death, so that her physician and a large council of 
 eminent physicians, after a most careful and thorough investiga- 
 tion and diagnosis of her case, reluctantly but unanimously 
 decided that there was no possibility of her recovery and that she 
 could not live more than twelve weeks, but she would not consent 
 to have him notified before the close of the term, and then that 
 she was seriously ill. She was at Newark, N. Y., and when Mr. 
 R. arrived preparations for her funeral were being made. He 
 at once told her and the family that he would take full charge 
 of the case, dismissed the attending physician, to the great aston- 
 ishment of the family and neighbors, assured her that she was 
 not going to die, that she would live and labor with him. 
 
 In two weeks he carried her in his arms to Meridian and left 
 her at her brother's, and she began to improve. He returned 
 to the University, and in a few weeks finished his studies, and 
 was ordained June 12, 1844, in Oswego, K Y., his father preach- 
 ing the sermon. The next day his father accompanied him to 
 Meridian, and he and Alzina were married. 
 
 In one month they took passage in a fine new brig at Oswego, 
 for a tour of the lakes, for Wisconsin, arriving at Racine in just 
 four weeks. Soon after he accepted the unanimous call of the 
 Baptist church at Whitewater, and were comfortably settled 
 there, remaining there three years, during which time the church 
 prospered and a house of worship was erected. From there they 
 went to Madison, but the winters being too severe for Mrs. 
 Read, they decided to go to California, and in April, 1849,
 
 174 
 
 started overland for San Francisco. His library, bedding, cloth- 
 ing and six months provisions were sent around Cape Horn. At 
 Galena, Illinois, they took steamer for St. Louis, Mo. At that 
 time, everywhere, on the rivers, in the cities, the cholera pre- 
 vailed fatally. At Fort Leavenworth they were detained ten 
 days, and were the guests of Gen. E. Y. Sumner. Two days 
 out from Leavenworth Mrs. R. had the cholera ! They were 
 providentially detained ten days, and during the time stayed 
 with Rev. Barker and family. He was the Baptist missionary 
 to the Fottawatomie Indians. Mrs. R. recovered so that she was 
 able safely to travel, when the command moved forward. 
 
 They had many interesting experiences and incidents on the 
 journey of six weeks to Santa Fe", New Mexico. One was, the 
 head chief of the great Comanche Indians fell most violently in 
 love with pretty Mrs. R., and deliberately proposed to Mr. R. 
 to " swap," and offered to give a papoose with his squaw, and 
 was grievously disappointed because he would not " swap" 
 
 Another chief, " Little Bear," of the Kiowas, offered to give 
 them his daughter twelve years of age, whom he wanted to have 
 educated as Mrs. R. was. Neither did they accept this offer. 
 
 Arriving at Santa F6 about the middle of July, Mr. R. was 
 importuned by the military governor and his staff and all the 
 principal Americans to locate there, and accept the chaplaincy 
 of the U. S. Army. There was not and never had been a min- 
 ister of the gospel in the territory. Finding that there was no 
 wagon'road beyond Santa FC* all who were going through were to 
 go on pack mules the distance being about 1,600 miles, through a 
 hostile Indian country they thought they must return East and 
 go by water, as their goods had gone that way. But God had a 
 work for them to do in New Mexico, and at once completely 
 shut them in there, Mrs. R. was taken sick and was apparently 
 on the verge of the grave six weeks, so that they were compelled 
 to stay there. Mr. R. accepted the chaplaincy, and at once went 
 to work and a nice chapel was fitted up. Thus commenced the 
 first missionary efforts in that territory. He being the only 
 chaplain of the U. S. Army in the Ninth Military Department, 
 which had twenty-one posts, it was his duty to visit all the gar- 
 risons and preach to the troops. Of course this required time, 
 and when away from home Mrs. R. attended to all the work of
 
 175 
 
 the mission at headqnarterSj and also conducted the school num- 
 bering seventy pupils, which they established, it being the first 
 academy in New Mexico. When practicable the longest trips 
 were made during vacation, and took him to all parts of New 
 Mexico. In that way he became acquainted with the country, 
 the people and their conditions, temporal and spiritual their 
 destitution of almost all means and appliances for mental and 
 spiritual improvement. 
 
 In 1851, at the earnest solicitation of the A. B. Home Mis- 
 sion society, Mr. and Mrs. Eead returned to the East to obtain 
 money and missionaries, preaching and lecturing in all the prin- 
 cipal cities, and returned in the spring of 1852 and located mis- 
 sionaries in different places, built a church at Santa F6, the first 
 Protestant church there. In 1853 formed a church at Albu- 
 querque. He established forty preaching stations on either side 
 of the Rio Grande, which he visited regularly, preaching espe- 
 cially to the Spanish speaking people of the territory ; and Mrs. 
 R. conducted the academy and mission in his absence. On one 
 occasion she went in a close carriage alone to Lazuna, about fifty 
 miles, and in crossing a pond in the darkness the carriage body 
 floated from the running gear and turned completely over ! 
 Mr. Logan (the Bible-reading colporteur), came to help her out 
 when her head was up against the bottom of the carriage, now 
 bottom side up, and the water up to her chin ! Of course she 
 had to get down into the water all over to get out at the door ! 
 All this she did heroically and never lost her self-possession for 
 a moment. Another time she was going with Mr. R., in their 
 buggy, drawn by a large, superior mule. They started at sun- 
 rise, forded safely the Rio Grande, though not without perils, 
 and, on reaching the Rio Pinco, at 2:30 r. M., they found the 
 water seven feet deep in the channel, and therefore could not 
 cross. They must stay there, although it was on the war path 
 of hostile Indians ! 
 
 Thus reads an extract from a letter from Mr. Read : 
 " I unharnessed and fastened my mule, shot a rabbit and 
 roasted one hind quarter and for want of something better sea- 
 soned it with ashes and ate it with some grapes we brought with 
 us and thus made our dinner and supper together. Our fire was
 
 176 
 
 made of a very few little weeds there being no wood in the 
 vicinity, so that we could not have a fire during the night to 
 scare off the many and ravenous wolves which abounded there. 
 Dear wife was greatly fatigued. We had only a thin lap cover 
 which I spread on the ground for her to recline upon while I sat 
 and stood alternately in the buggy and kept watch. God merci- 
 fully protected and preserved us. The next morning I roasted 
 and we ate the other hind quarter of our rabbit, seasoning it with 
 ashes. 
 
 " I then found that the stream had gone down two feet during 
 the night leaving only five feet in the channel, so we decided to 
 attempt to cross it. I gave my mule water and harnessed up. 
 I let the buggy-top down, wife sat upon the top of the seat back 
 and her feet on the seat itself. I stood up in the front. My 
 poor mule seemed to realize our danger and hesitated to enter the 
 fearfully dangerous stream. I encouraged her to advance and 
 at length she sprang as far as possible into the water and in an 
 instant was out of sight and the buggy under water ! But the 
 momentum she obtained enabled her to soon touch the bot- 
 tom of the opposite side of the channel (which was not more 
 than twenty feet wide), when she rose to the surface and by the 
 most faithful effort possible she pulled us out and up on the 
 opposite bank ! We exclaimed ' God be praised ! ' We again 
 breathed freely. 
 
 " This extraordinary exertion greatly fatigued our mule, who 
 had had nothing to eat since we left home, faring even worse 
 than ourselves. Then the trail was full of deep sand and cobble 
 stones so that we were compelled to go very slowly. 
 
 " About noon our poor mule fairly gave out ! 1 sought a 
 place among the sand hills and cedar bushes away from the trail, 
 hoping thereby we might possibly escape the eager eyes of any 
 bloodthirsty savages who might be passing. So while I was 
 hastily unharnessing the faithful, tired and hungry beast, wife 
 attempted to get out of the buggy alone and seemingly forget- 
 ting her experiences and discomforts of the last thirty-six hours, 
 fell and parted all the ligaments on the inside of her right 
 ankle ! ! ! Oh ! Heaven, what was to be done out on this desert ? 
 We could only bathe it with a little very muddy water that we 
 had brought along to drink and bind it up with our handker-
 
 177 
 
 chiefs. Well, this was a calamity indeed. But we must not 
 tarry long in that dangerous place, so, after an hour in which 
 the mule had a plenty of good, nutritious grass, we started on and 
 late in the night reached our mission station at Lazuna, 
 
 " After two days we returned home, dear wife suffering greatly. 
 I summoned several of the army physicians and surgeons, but 
 they could render no relief. Crutches were provided, which she 
 used one 'year, and then she, in company with Kev. Mr, Shaw 
 and family, went to the States, intending to visit the great med- 
 ical college of Philadelphia. She had a pleasant and quick 
 journey to Wisconsin, where her only sister, Maria, lived. Her 
 intention was to make a visit and then proceed eastward. Her 
 old family physician offered his services and did what he could, 
 but gave no encouragement of a cure. Meantime she became 
 so debilitated that it was deemed impracticable for her to go 
 farther, and after eight months the Dr. and Bro. Dudley wrote 
 to me to come at once ! 
 
 " The letter was six weeks reaching me, but I instantly com- 
 menced preparations for leaving, sitting up all night writing her, 
 Bro. Dudley and the Board, for it was extremely doubtful if I 
 lived to cross the plains in midwinter, with the snow covering 
 the whole country and so cold that buffaloes by thousands froze 
 to death ! 
 
 "I turned over the care of the mission to Bro. Gorman and 
 started for Santa Fe\ Engaged my passage in the mail wagon, 
 for they dared not and would not run a coach. Fare was 
 $150.00. Arriving at St. Louis, after suffering almost incredible 
 hardships and being badly frost-bitten, having lain out in the snow, 
 without fire, shelter or sufficient covering, twenty-four fearfully 
 cold and stormy nights, I found a letter from my wife, and 
 when I reached her she was able to sit up and receive her friends. 
 Oh, what relief ! 
 
 " After a few days we started for Boston. Dr. Hewitt, the cel- 
 ebrated bone-setter, treated her ankle three months, when she 
 was enabled to walk away without her crutches. Meantime^ her 
 eyes were troubling her, and she was treated for them at the 
 State Infirmary, and so greatly injured that for four years she 
 was nearly blind and most of the time was confined in dark- 
 (12) "
 
 178 
 
 ened rooms. Two celebrated oculists and some of the best phy- 
 sicians in New York attended her for a long time without doing 
 her any good. Everything that money, friends, medical skill 
 and the best possible attention could do was constantly done." 
 
 They went to E. Virginia to try the effect of that fine climate. 
 They remained there four years, and Mrs. R. so far recovered 
 her eight as to be able, in July, 1860, to engage with Mr. R. in 
 protracted meeting in Central New York for six months. 
 
 During the War of the Rebellion they first went to Washing- 
 ton, and were engaged in furnishing hospitals with necessary 
 goods for the Michigan, Wisconsin and Massachusetts soldiers. 
 Mrs. R. was storekeeper for theN. Y. State Soldiers' Relief asso- 
 ciation and Mr. R. was preaching in camps, supplying scriptures, 
 tracts and papers to the soldiers in camp and hospitals, caring 
 for the sick, etc., etc. 
 
 In June, 1862, Mr. R. started, as a general missionary among 
 the soldiers, for Richmond, but stopped at Savage's Station, nine 
 miles from Richmond, at a large hospital under charge of Dr. 
 Swinburn of Albany. 
 
 Hundreds of men were famishing for lack of food and drink, 
 and to each man was given first a little whiskey toddy, then a 
 little cold water, and then some nice gruel. This was continued 
 several days, until all in the camp were taken prisoners, and 
 most of those able to walk were marched to Richmond and con- 
 fined on Belle Island or in the famous Libby prison. Mr. R. 
 was allowed to remain eleven days, when Jeff Davis learning 
 that at the burial of our deceased soldiers he prayed for the 
 Union army, he ordered him to be confined in Libby prison. 
 He was allowed to stay with the worst sick, wounded and dying. 
 It was his custom to preach three short sermons each evening 
 in the three great wards of the prison. 
 
 When sick with typhoid fever he was ordered to the court 
 house, under guard, where he was subjected to a searching exam- 
 ination by a poor old, drunken, bloated apostate, Judge Baxter, 
 for three mortal hours ! At the conclusion the judge intimated 
 that he should be condemned to death. A few days after a rebel 
 officer was sent by Jeff ' Davis to notify him that he was con- 
 demned to be hung. The charges against him were, that he was
 
 179 
 
 a Yankee, a Union man ; that he had great influence with Presi- 
 dent Lincoln and his cabinet; that he was an Abolitionist; had 
 lived in Virginia; was not a commissioned officer, etc., etc. 
 
 Mr. E. told the officer to convey his compliments to Jeff 
 Davis and tell him that he had not hemp enough in his bogus 
 Confederacy to hang him. 
 
 So soon as it was known in Washington that he was con- 
 demned to be hung, Gen. Burnside was sent out and captured 
 Dr. Broadus of Fredericksburg, Ya., who was confined in the 
 old Capitol prison in Washington and kept as hostage for him. 
 Word was sent to Eichmond, and his life was spared. He con- 
 tinued his ministries to the sufferers in Libby prison until, in the 
 fall of 1862, he was exchanged for Dr. Broadus and went home 
 feeble and too nearly broken down to return to the post of duty 
 as accounting officer in the Treasury Department. A leave of 
 absence was granted, and still he was unable to remain there. 
 
 Congress had recently passed the bill giving a territorial gov- 
 ernment to Arizona. The President appointed the officers, not 
 one of whom had any personal knowledge of the country, its 
 people, languages or customs, and as he was thoroughly 
 acquainted with that region, he was urged to go. He felt 
 that a trip across the plains would restore his health, and there- 
 fore accepted a commission as postmaster for the territory. 
 
 Hon. S. P. Chase, Secretary, and F. E. Spinner, TJ. S. Treas- 
 urer, requested him to take out, for circulation, $200,000.00 in 
 paper, postal currency and small bills. This amount he drew at 
 St. Louis, and was to convey it to Santa F6", N. M. After a 
 long and dangerous trip across the plains, he reached Santa F6* 
 in December, almost in a dying condition in consequence of 
 watching so constantly the money, day and night. However, 
 when relieved of this responsibility, he recovered, and in two 
 weeks was preaching in the meeting house he had built ten 
 years before. 
 
 Mrs. E. remained in the East, and if he remained in Arizona 
 she was to go by steamer to San Francisco and he would meet 
 her there. He reached Arizona in January, 1864. Prescott 
 was the site selected for the capital, and there he opened the P 
 O., chapel and Sunday school.
 
 180 
 
 In August, jnst when he expected a letter from Mrs. R. that 
 she was about starting for San Francisco, he received the sad, 
 crushing news of her death ! 
 
 She had gone to New Tork, expecting to sail June 12, but 
 was taken ill, and after an illness of only three days, fell asleep 
 in Jesus. This was on the anniversary of his ordination, twenty 
 years before. Her remains were sent to Meridian, N. Y., where 
 her funeral was attended the next day, which was the anniver- 
 sary of their wedding. Thus she was buried where she was born 
 and married. 
 
 Mr. R. could not at once leave his field and work in Arizona, 
 but left Dec. 1, arriving in New York in January, 1865. Went 
 to Meridian, then to Hannibal, Mo., where he remained a year. 
 
 Since then he has married Miss Lizzie S. Sanderson, and has 
 preached in Yirginia, New York, California, Nevada, and is 
 now, 1890, located at El Paso, Texas, as Bible missionary.

 " Long Island Railroad Co. 
 Thos. R. Sharp, Receiver. 
 
 Gen'l Order ) RECEIVER'S OFFICE, 
 
 No. 58. J LONG ISLAND CITY, Sept. 15, 1879. 
 
 The attention of the service is especially called to the gallant 
 and heroic action of Fireman Chas. Jones, of engine No. 25, 
 train 5, July 23. 
 
 In approaching Jamesport the engineer saw a child on the 
 track, blew for brakes and reversed his engine. Fireman Jones, 
 who was on the front of the engine oiling the cylinders, seeing 
 that it would be impossible to stop the train before reaching the 
 child, immediately took a position on the cow-fender and suc- 
 ceeded in grasping it Justin time to lift it harmless from the track, 
 thereby saving its life. The child was a little girl about three 
 years of age, the daughter of Mr. Samuel Bartlett, living near 
 Jamesport.

 Too much praise cannot be awarded Mr. Jones for his action, 
 and appreciating the ability, courage and good judgment dis- 
 played on this and other occasions, his name has been placed by 
 the Master of Machinery on the list for promotion at the first 
 favorable opportunity.

 to be transmitted from oldest son to oldest. I much regret its 
 loss." lie is now residing in San Diego, Cal.

 of apoplexy, in Rochester, N. Y., where she was practising her 
 profession. The following is from the Rochester Chronicle:
 
 214 
 
 "It is not fitting that a noble character like Dr. Cynthia Smith 
 should pass from earth without mention of her worth. Her pro- 
 fession, to which she brought the ardent love of an enthusiast, 
 with the tender touch and skilful hand of woman, was acquired 
 under difficulties which would have effectually debarred one less 
 earnest from the advantages of a higher education. This sin- 
 gleness of purpose and patient perseverance was carried into her 
 life-work, which had for its aim, not her own aggrandizement nor 
 even pecuniary profit, but the good of mankind. She was the 
 inventor of an admirable surgical appliance which lias proved of 
 great value and which might have brought to her fame and for- 
 tune had it been properly placed before the public. The writer 
 knows of more than one instance where the lame have been made 
 to walk through her skill. To the poor she not only gave med- 
 ical advice but freely of her means without hope of other reward 
 than comes to one " who loves his fellow men." She was sin- 
 gularly unworldly and unselfish, with artistic tastes and mental 
 endowments which fitted her to enjoy, in the highest degree, the 
 grand and beautiful in nature. She denied herself all luxury 
 that might lure her from her purpose to do what she could for 
 suffering humanity in her chosen profession. No one could be 
 in her presence without being uplifted from sordid aims and 
 realizing that she indeed lived on a higher plane, for her faith in her 
 Heavenly Father was perfect and unquestioning and a constant 
 inspiration to her friends. The aroma of this pure Christian 
 life will linger long as a sweet memory of her who, " after life's 
 fitful fever," rests in the sleep " He giveth his beloved."

 Y. Harry, b. Nov. 21, 1868 ; was a student at Mr. Moody's 
 school, Mt. Hermon. 
 
 Edward King, son of Lorinda, gr. son of Obadiah, b. Sept. 8, 
 184-8, in Middlefield, Mass. ; was privately educated, but in this 
 manner went through the entire course of study in vogue at 
 Williams College. When only seventeen years of age he 
 entered the office of the Springfield (Mass.) Union as a compos- 
 itor, becoming almost immediately local editor. Samuel Bowles, 
 then editor of the Springfield Republican, noticed his work, and 
 being impressed with his ability, sent him to Europe as a special 
 correspondent. This was in 1867, and on his return he became 
 literary editor of the Republican. In the following year he 
 edited the Evening News, an offshoot of the Republican. In 
 1869 he was again in Europe as special correspondent of the 
 Boston Journal, and in that capacity followed the Franco-Prus- 
 sian war and the incidents of the Paris commune in 1870. Until 
 1872 he was a member of the Journal editorial staff. He then 
 traveled through the South, in 1873, accompanied by an artist, 
 and contributed to Scribner's Monthly a series of illustrated 
 articles on that section, entitled " The Great South." During 
 this journey he traveled 25,000 miles, of which 1,200 was on 
 horseback. Among the places visited was New Orleans, and by 
 some the discovery of George W. Cable was considered his 
 greatest achievement, for here he became acquainted with Mr. 
 Cable, and was so impressed with his talents that he took it upon 
 himself to forward some of Mr. Cable's manuscripts to Dr. Hol- 
 land, with the strongest kind of recommendation. In this way 
 the author of " Old Creole Days " got his chance at the public. 
 
 In 1875 he went to Europe again, and from Paris corres- 
 ponded with American papers. In 1876 he represented the
 
 233 
 
 Boston Journal at the Centennial exhibition in Philadelphia, 
 and in 1 877, being again in Europe, he wrote letters for the 
 American press from the seat of war in Bulgaria. 
 
 Mr. King has made an enviable reputation by his poems, 
 " Echoes from the Orient," and " A Venetian Lover," and " Paul 
 Graine." Among other works in book form, he has published, 
 " My Paris " (1868), "Kentucky's Love," a novel (1872), "The 
 Great South" (1874), French Political Leaders (1876), Europe 
 in Storm and Calm (1885). He is now in New York, connected 
 with " The Morning Journal."
