Son of Freeman, and grandson of Jefferson
Doe, was born in Boston in 1854, was edu-
Gated at the Chauncey Hall school, and
graduated from the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology in 1886.

Hag Stock Farm, about three minutes walk

10 years old his father died, result ofexpos-
ure from service in the war for the Union.
From this time forward he was thrown up
on his own resources, but he managed to
secure fair education in the common
schools and at the State Normal School at
Fotsdanl, N. Y. For several years pre-
ceding his majority he found home with
his uncle. X. E. Sphinx, of Cleveland, Ohio,

Knight special importers OF paper. and
travelled in fourteen different States in all
parts of the west, and in two years gained
a valuable experience of men and affalrs.
While on one of these long trips, he recelv-
ed a letter from his brother-in-law, w. H..
Murfey, of North ThetfOrd, inviting him
to make visit to Vermont He accepted
The invitation and came to North Thettord
in April 1882 remaining until October,
when he went to White River Junction to
work for a short time for the paper com
pany there, on half time, as spare man.
His services proved so acceptable that he
was permanently retained on y salary as a
travelling salesman, and remained with
them ten years.
Meanwhile, in 1884, he had married a
Vermont girl, Miss Ida B. Sawyer of New
bury, fact which perhaps assisted him to
Cleveland people to return to their service.
But he preferred the shorter trips of the
junction Company, with the privilege or
spending his Sundays at home. In January
1892, a special opportunity seemed to offer,
by the investment of his surplus savings IN
the company, he was given the charge OF
the office and the selling department or the
Clyde River Paper Co., at Newport, W.
In less than seven months the mill took
fire, and property valued at $50, 600. lnclud-
ing all the hard, earned savings of Maurice
Gale, and a considerable amount loaned
him by friends, went up in the smoke.
His means and his employment were gone.
That fall he went to Newbury as manager
of the Sawyer House, started livery and
secured good patronage, but Mr.. Sawyer

Gale moved to the Buxton house and con-

member of Pulaski Lodge No. 81, and of
Mt. Lebanon Chapter at Bradford. His
former wide acquaintance and personal
among commercial men, are OF
substantial assistance in his present bust
