He was one of the first to commence raising tobacco in the town of Sherman. In politics he is a strong democrat. He has been mem- Der of most of the Democratic State conventions since 1860, and from early manhood he has been regarded as one of the leaders of the party in his local

 and for two years he was judge of pro-
 bate of his district. In 1876 he was elected to the lower house of tbe Legislature, and so well did he fulfill
 his duties that he was chosen, in 1877,
 to represent his district in the State Senate. While in the Senate the Hu-
 mane society was granted enlarged privileges, and he was requested to act as agent in his locality, position he has ever since held. He is and has been for many years a commissioner of the Superior court, and has assisted many in their applications for pen sions. He is member of St Peters lodge, No. 21, F. & A.

In that year he married Miss Ophelia Hungerford, daughter of Thomas and Rachel (Smith) Hungerford. She had long
 been a member of the Congregational church, and organist, but on moving to the Center, and seeing the dilapi- dated condition of the Union church | there, she exerted her energies toward

 such education as was obtainable in
 the common schools of his day. At an
 early age he went to live with Capt
 James Burr of Fairfield, who owned a
 merchant vessel plying between BoS- ton, New York and Southern ports. While at Alexandria, Va., he was taken
 very i'll and carried on deck for dead, but the change revived him. During
 the war of 1872 three British men-of-
 war vessels came into the harbOr, lying
 three days, with music and dancing,
 and it being expected that they would
 attempt landing and the burning of
 Fairfield, as they did 30 years before, every available person was brought
 into service, and he as a mere boy 3s- sisted in carrying cannon balls to the
 beach. When 16 years of age, and not
 having a desire for rowing life, he
 decided to learn trade, and to carry
 out that purpose he made his way on 1 foot to Sherman, where an uncle,
 ing him to Abraham and Edward
 Briggs, blacksmiths of the town, until
 he should reach the age of 21 years.
 After completing his term of service
 he went to Monroe, in this county, and
 worked five years for Penfeld Broth
 CTS, carriage builders, doing iron work
 necessary in the business. It was at
 this time that he commenced the sale
 of wagons for the firm, which he con
 tinued many years. Later he returned
 to Sherman, and for four years con.
 ducted the shop in which he learned
 his trade. In 1884 he purchased the
 place on which he resided till 1857, and
 erected a blacksmith shop thereon.
 He also engaged in farming, and en- closed his land with stone walls. In
