terms under a private instructor. firing
of the schoolroom he learned the trade
of builder. and a. the age of twenty -one
began business on his own account That
was in 1S47. He worked hard and yet
found time to take an interest in politics,
so that in 1853 he served in the town
council. then as an alderman passing
from that honor to the statehouse. where
FOR two terms he was secretary of state
Later on he was for many years chair
man of the republican state committee
and In 1864 was a delegate to the conven-
ton that renominated Abraham Lincoln.

until Grover Clevelands inauguration In

Harrison went to the White House he
lost no time in putting. Mr. Spefry back
as postmaster. and he remained until
Cleveland came in again. In 1856 Mr..
Sperry was nominated for Congress. but

With all the honors that have come to

Those who have read the history of the
ship that destroyed the Merrimac recall
that Worden and others who designed the
Monitor had trouble in raising funds for
II and in persuading the government that
the strangely constructed craft would do
the destruction that was promised by it's
projectors. Mr.. Sperry. then a postmas-
ter. was one of the few men who had
faith in the invention. and he qualified as
a bondsman to furnish funds for the con-
struction of the craft He is the only one
of the original bondsmen now living.
