The late Biographer James Parton's
connection with a gifted Portland family
brings his death nearer home to Maine.
He married Fanny Fern" who was born
in Portland in 1911, whose father was Ma
thaniel Willis, founder of the Eastern Ar
gus, and whose brother was Nathaniel P.
Willis. Mr.. Parton was a prolific and
successful author, especially in the field
of biography. Among his works, many of
which are regarded as standards, are lives
of Aaron Burr. Andrew Jackson, Beuia-
min Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Horace
Greeley, Voltaire and Fanny Fern. Be-
sides these he wrote Famous Americans
e Roc. Times" containing sketches of
Clay, Webster. Calhoun, Randolph and
Others of less note. His Noted Women
of Europe and America" Peoples Book
of Biography" and Captains of Industry"
are also important works in the same line.
Mr.. Parton's pen was not confined to BIZ
ography. He essayed social, political and
general topics as well and touched nothing
that he did not sdorn. We remember with
what interest we read years ago Fanny
Ferns novel Ruth Half' which was pub
lished in 1854, and was a pathetic tale
based on incidents in her own life. She
was a widow at that time but she gave in
the story a hint of the coming second
husband, Mr.. Parton.
