Carolinas. From among those devout

career of the man who solved the
problem of providing a seal for the
Government of the United States:
Charles Thomson was born at Ma

came to America with his three elder
brothers in 1741. They landed at
New Castle, Delaware, with no other
dependence than their industry.
Thomson was educated by Doctor Al
lison, the tutor of several OF the
signers of the Declaration of indie

for reading and when yet young
man he had CLEANED sufficient knowl-
edge to be counted among the "literi-

In 1872 he served as negotiator with

and his good. conscientious work
among the natives brought for him
the worthy nickname. "Truthteller."
by which name the Indians always
after called him. He was man OF rare
abilities and had the peculiar requt-
sites to make and keep friends where
ever he happened to wander. He was
called to the responsible duty of keep
ing minutes OF the proceedings of the
first Continental Congress in IVA. and
from that time until he resigned his
office In 17s9-then fifty-nine years old
he was the secretary OF that digni-
fed and important body.

tary, and in that position he had the
rare pleasure of taking notes OF all
the important congressional actions.
For the first years work he received
no pay. He served as permanent sec
rotary during the eventful fifteen
years that followed. His seal was ac-
cepted officially on June 20, 1882.
