He was born in Winchendon, where he resided until 1830, when he moved to Lowell, Mass. Bought a theater, turned it into a Free Church; of course it was a failure, and from a fairly well to do man, his ch. became workers and self support- ers. He never would compromise, always paying 100 cents on the dollar, and unfor- tunately so good a credit and so obliging, he had many notes to pay for which there was no value received. Was very popular as a young man, securing his com. as Capt. from Gov. Hancock. It is said on one occasion, when drilling his command, they were surrounded by the lookers on with the purpose of creating confusion. Instantly the order was given to "form a hollow square," followed by, "charge bayo- nets, march." A scattering rather lively of good natured friends, and never any more attempts to disturb the drill or parade. He d. Mar., 1867, in Lowell, Mass.; res. Winchendon, Mass. 4135. i. GEO.
