Legislative Biographies.

With it's accustomed enterprise the Hartford Post issued it's usual Legislative Supplement last Wednesday, containing sketches of all the Senators and Representatives, from which, with our usual taking way" we borrow the following, descriptive of the legislators of our own and neighboring towns:
 District No. 19. HoN. MILO B. RICHARDSON is the Democratic Senator from the nineteenth district. Mir. Richardson's maternal grand father, Milo Barnum, removed to Linn Rock, a village in the town of Salisbury, Conn.,, in 1920. He was born at Dover. Duchess Co.,, ". Y., July 16, 1790. At the time of his re- moval, although he had previously acquired & considerable fortune. for those days, his world iy possessions were very limited With that indomitable energy which always character ized him, and which he has transmitted in 8 very large degree to his descendants, he set about to recover his ruined fortunes In a few years he had accumulated liberal prop
 erty, founded the great house with which his name is still connected, the Barnum Richard son Co.,, and retired from business with the respect and esteem of his neighbors. He was man of positive character, honest and true to his conviction, an excellent citizen and & kind and faithful friend. He died May 10, 1860. Leonard Richardson, the father of Sen- ator Richardson was born at Wilsborough, Essex Co.,, N. Y., Sept 10, 1908 His ances- tors emigrated from Scotland to Quebec about 1775, whence they removed to Willsborough.
 while Leonard was quite young hls parents migrated to Sharon, Conn. In 1925 he engag- ed as clerk in the store of Milo Barnum at Lime Rock. April 16, 1922, he married Lucy Ann, daughter of his employer, by whom he had three children. Milo Barnum James Leon- ard and Caroline Barnum. In l83O in con- junction with his father-in Jaw, with whom he had become associated in business, he built foundry for re-melting plg-iron, and in few years William H., son of Milo Barnum, was taken into the firm, The business prospered greatly and became the foundation of the great corporation which now controls the en- tire Salisbury iron interest. Beside the man. ufacture of pig-iron, the house is largely en- gagged in the manufacture of car wheels at Lime Rock, Jersey City and Chicago, and of cars at Huntington, West Virginia, in each of which places are extensive works. They send wheels to foreign countries and supply the principal reads of this country with the foun- dries and furnaces. Leonard Richardson was man of great business ability; he excelled
