He was of honorable ancestry, being a direct lineal descendant of the Rev. Solomon Stoddard of Northampton, Mass, through the Rev. Anthony Stoddard who was minister of Woodbury for more than half century. With. out much previous educational preparation, he entered, in ls44, the law office of the Hon John H. Hubbard, then of Salisbury, and there soon exhibited those traits of patient industry and earnest enquiry which mark the faithful and successful student. He was admitted to the bar in ls47, but did not enter upon profes. sional practice for nearly ten years, his interest and taste leading him to engage in agricultu ral eAployments. His health not being sufi ciently firm to endure the fatigue and labor O afarmers iife,i in 1857, he turned his attention to professional engagements and by assiduous industry and patient labor, acquired arespect able standing at the bar. q s5 ...s .z.5
 Five years ago, t became apparent to many that consumption had marked him for it's vic tim, and yet his decline was so gradual and in. termitted with go many hopeful indications that he continued to do q good share of fprofes sional business for two or three years.
