came over from France with William the Conqueror. The original family name Tremayne, meaning three hands, was of Norman origin. The meaning of the name was lost and then from losing its meaning it gradually became This was converted into another name that had another meaning. not a very unusual occurrence in family names and can not be explained philologically. The change came by modification and use. The first of the name of whom we have any knowledge was Perys Tremayne who resided in Cornwall, England, in the reign of Edward III. (1312-1377.) His descendants were seated in Cornwall for many generations. There is an old saying "By Tre, Pol and Pen, you may know the Cornish men." The first of the family bearing a different name, of whom we have any knowledge, was Rev. Henry Trewman, instituted rector of Cromwell, Nottinghamshire, England, July 27, 1635. His successor was Rev. Joseph Truman, D. D. The meaning of this name was, obviously, true man. An explanation of the change of name is found in the original pronounciation of the names Tremayne and Truman, the letter "u" in Truman having the sound of French "u" which is the sound of English "e", showing that the two names sounded very much alike. The Anglo-Saxons spelled the name Troewman, meanmg wood-man-. In America the name appears Treman, Tremaine and Truman. As

" The same work says "The tombstone of Abner Treman contains the following inscription 'This monument is erected to Abner Treman, died Aug. 13, 1823, aged 61 years. A native of Columbia Co., N. Y. A soldier of the Revolution, in Colonel Courtland's Regiment, and merited lot No. 2, Ulysses, where his remains repose. He was the first settler in Trumansburg, in 1792, from whom it takes its name.' "Abner Treman erected the first grist mill, in 1794. Part of the timbers are still (1878) to be seen, a little above the stone mill of J. W. Bouton, in the village of Trumansburg."

to

amputate one of

feet.

This was

in

the

second year of the history of Trumansburg.

"The amputation was performed by Dr. Lewis Halsey, then a young physician of Seneca County, son of Hon. Silas Halsey, the first physician and one of the earliest settlers in the country between
the lakes.

"When
some one

Dr. Halsey was called by Mr.

Treman, and saw

that

amputation was necessary, he said to him: 'You had better send for

But the old soldier had so

that he replied

'Whoever else you get, I want you to take it off.' Then the young surgeon went to work and was just ten minutes in performing the operation and ligating the arteries."

At their feet lay the plain, buried under its snowy mantle, across which, somewhere out among the hills beyond but a few miles away, lay the haven of their hopes and destiny. The following day the hill was descended, the swampy plain crossed and striking an old Indian trail along the west bank of the Lake, night found them at Goodwin's Point, eight miles down the Lake, and the guests of Mr. Weyburn, who had located there the summer before. They were most hospitably entertained, and their joy on finding that they were to' have at least one neighbor, can be imagined. From Goodwin's to their destination there was no trail, but Mr. Weyburn kindly offered his services as a guide, and the next day the party halted in the dense wood, near the center of Mr. Treman's grant, on the very spot where now stands the Cooper house, Main street. Here Mr. Treman struck his ax into a tree, saying, "Here I build my home," and here he did build it, a rude log hut with no windows or doors but it was home and from that little hut sprang the great race of Tremans. Trumansburg was born. "The following year Mr. Treman returned as far east as Utica,

Mr. Treman had nearly attained the age allotted to man, being sixty-eight years old. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. John Bush, of Buffalo. Deceased was the senior member of one of our oldest and most reliable business firms, first known as Treman Brothers, successors to Edmund G. Pelton in the foundry and hardware business, and latterly as Treman, King & Co., firm names which have long been associated with enterprises that have added greatly to the growth and prosperity of Ithaca. Mr. Treman was the oldest son of the late Ashbel Treman, of Mecklenburg. Two brothers, Lafayette and Elias Treman, and one sister, Mrs. Charles D. Johnson, are the surviving members of his family. He began life, as so many of our self made men do, as a clerk, in order to obtain that knowledge of business methods that he was afterwards to make so valuable to himself and others in building up a large business on enduring foundations. The firm which he founded has been dissolved only by death. As a village official, the leading spirit of several local railroad enterprises, director of the Tompkins County National Bank, president of the Savings Bank, Ithaca Water Works and Gas Light companies, and trustee and treasurer of the Congregational Church, Mr. Treman well and faithfully performed

upon the accession of their younger brother, Elias, to the firm in 1849, and with various changes in the firm name, the three brothers were associated together in business for a period of over fifty years. He commenced his business life as a clerk in the hardware store of

James D. Morgan, at Penn Yan, N. Y. He came to Ithaca in 1844, to engage in business for himself and ever afterwards made it his home. The success which he won was due to his own energy and talents together with a courtesy and kindliness which ever made him friends. His activities did not entirely cease even in advancing years till age compelled him to devolve many of his duties upon his son who had been trained to, and did, succeed him in most of his business positions. His business activity may be shown by the

many official positions which he held. He was elected President of Tompkins County National Bank in 1873 and held the position until his death in 1900. Under his administration this bank became known as one of the soundest financial institutions in the interior of

The

following year 1667 he was elected to the office of constable.

He

continued his residence there until his death which occurred

in 1697.

that the exciting

The match is no surprise it has been an understood thing for some time, and society's main interest in the event concerns the future of the young pair who will start in wedlock so well endowed. Miss Abbie Aldrich has not been more conspicuous in church circles than most young ladies of her station in society, while the young man has been a leader in Baptist circles ever since he came from college. He is treasurer of the Fifth Avenue Sunday School, and has always seemed to dread the responsibility

promote his own pleasure. He is fond of speaking before religious bodies and has been known to refer to himself as a steward from whom an accounting would one day be demanded. Now the question is will she make a society man of him, and will the Rockefeller name become a synonym for the magnificent entertainments she is so competent to give, or will he make a devotee of her ? Or, will each adopt something of the other's character and make the house of Rockefeller famous alike for piety and for social splendor ? When the young man was at Brown he was the manager of the football team and displayed his business quality by making the football team self-supporting for the first time in the college's history. He was a very democratic j^oung fellow at college, made no display of his wealth, and though the football and his fraternity, Alpha Delta Phi, took much of his time, he was a good deal of a grind at his studies. He was at college to learn, and it is his nature to get the full worth of anything he goes into. It was through his influence that his father gave 1500,000 to Brown University last fall. Young Rockefeller has had few diversions He rode horseback a little, but since he left the university. his life lay mainly between the offices of the Standard Oil Company and the Baptist Church. Recently he has emerged in a small degree from his retirement, and last week organized a dancing class, which will meet at Delmonico's four times' next season. This is probably the greatest dissipation of which he has ever been guilty. As a business man he won his spurs He bought in 700 shares of in Leather stock a year ago. Leather at 1 1 to 20 and sold it at 30 or 40, thus making his first million. He went into the Standard Oil offices as a clerk and ran the gamut of the office routine. Now he is supposed to be competent to take his father's place and handle his vast holdings whenever he is called on to assume that great responsibility.

it has been stated that Senator .\ldrich has taken a mansion in Washington this winter and will entertain, with Mrs. Aldrich and his two daughters, Miss Lucy T. and Miss Abby, as hostesses. Heretofore the Aldriches have lived at the Arlington Hotel and have done no entertaining, as Mrs. Aldrich and the girls have not been in Washington more than .six months all told during the long service of Mr. Aldrich in the Senate. Probablv the most interesting fact about Miss Aldrich is that, except in the most general way, she does not care for society and its frivolities. She is pretty and attractive and could easily shine should she care to enter the lists. Her interests are in opposite

These features of Miss Aldrich's character, in addition to her great personal charm, must appeal to both her future husband and to John D. Rockefeller, his father, whose financial support of the Baptist Church is only equalled by the great gifts he makes to the Chicago University, of which he is virtually the founder. Senator Aldrich, her father, is often spoken of as the "business man" of the Senate. He rarely makes a speech, but he is at the head of the immensely important Finance Committee, through which all tariff and other business legislation must go. His predominating trait of mind is exactness. He is thoroughly business-like.

A few winters ago, before she knew as much of the wiles of mendicants as she does now, a negro girl approached her with a tale of woe that was heartrending. Her mother was dead, her grandfather almost

dead from rheumatism and she herself ill and suffering from hunger. Miss Aldrich was much moved by the tale of misfortune and called the girl into her house. She gave her a meal and some clothes and a generous sum of money for her immediate necessities. She promised also to find her work. After the girl left Miss Aldrich began to wonder if she had Should she not done her full duty in so distressing a case. have sent something to the rheumatic old grandfather? She decided afiirmatively and told the cook to put some food in a basket. Then she ordered her pony chaise and drove to the address given by the girl. There was no house there.

the lines already indicated by the senior Rockefeller.

It is

understood that Mr. Rockefeller and Miss Aldrich have been lovers for some years and that the engagement has existed for some time. Nearly a year ago Senator .\ldrich hinted something of the kind to his intimates in the Senate. Miss Aldrich is not particularh- fond of outdoor sports, although she shares Mr. Rockefeller's love for horses. She golfs a little and can

swim and sail a small boat. She much prefers to read a solid work or an educational topic than to dance or attend a dinner party. She is tall, graceful and a charming talker. Just now she is at Greenwich, R. I., where Senator Aldrich has a summer home. Her social ideas may be summed up in the statement that although she is but a few miles from Newport and its
gayeties she never goes there."

History of the Treman Family.

"In 1846, he, with his father's family, moved to Lawrence ville where he resided until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he at once enlisted in Captain Phil Holland's company in the Pennsylvania Reserves, this being one of the first companies to enlist from Tioga County. Later he enUsted in Company F, Captain Harrower's company in the 86th N. Y., for three years. When his term of enlistment
expired he again re-enlisted in the same regiment and served until
the close of the war in 1865.

"Those, who are familiar with the history of the brave 86th, can form some idea of Mr. Tremain's experience as a soldier, for this regiment took part in nearly all the battles of Virginia, from Bull Run
to

Appomatox. Mr. Tremain, himself, was in some twenty battles and skirmishes, and was promoted to Second Lieutenant, then to First Lieutenant, and finally Brevetted Captain for meritorious service.
"In the battle of Gettysburg he was wounded, and while in ser-

vice he contracted inflammatory rheumatism from which he never

recovered, and as the result of this disease at last was stricken by death.

"March

Not relishing the monotony and inactivity of garrison life, to which duty the regiment was assigned, he sought and obtained a transfer, and was detailed to staff service in the field, with Gen. Gregg, in the cavalry corps of Gen. Sheridan. And there he found abundant opportunity for the display of his high soldierly qualities. He was foremost in every battle in which that corps engaged, and which has rendered it and its heroic leaders famous in the annals of the war. He was in that ever memorable ride from Rapidan to the James, during which a score of battles were fought, millions of the enemy's property destroyed, the outer fortifications of Richmond entered, and prodigies of valor displayed by every member of the heroic band. On the James he joined in most of the cavalry reconnoissances and raids which have passed into history as among the most dramatic of the war, and fell while engaged in driving back the rebel force which attempted to check the resistless progress of our troops. Col. Tremain was a young man to be admired and loved. He combined, with a noble presence, winning manners and attractive social qualities. As a soldier he was prompt and fearless.

He died by accidental drowning July 17, 1901, while trying to save the lives of a woman and another man. The Owego Gazette gave the following account of the accident and tribute to his memory: "Two of Owego's best known society men lost their lives last evening. Frank T. Stanbrough and Alva S. Odell were bathing in the Susquehanna river with two girls, one of whom they were trying to teach to swim. Getting into deep water Odell lost control of the young woman and called to Stanbrough to come to his assistance. In the struggle all three went down, but the girl was rescued by Superintendent Ditmar, of the Owego Gas Company, who was out in a rowboat. She was unconscious but soon revived. When Stanbrough and Odell were finally pulled out of the water there was little evidence of life. Haifa dozen physicians worked over them on the river bank for an hour, but with no success. The men were among the best known society people in town. Stanbrough is the 3-ounger son of Dr. J. B. Stanbrough. He was about thirty-five years old and w'as one of the heirs of the large Truman estate. Both of the 3'oung men were very popular and held in high esteem in this village. When the news of the terrible calamity spread over the village the river bank was crowded with the friends of the dead men, who hoped the doctors would be successful in restoring them to consciousness and who deeply sympathize with the members of the bereaved families. Mr. Stanbrough was bookkeeper at his father's stove and plumbing store in Front street. He was a member of Defiance Hook and Ladder Company, No. 5, and also a member of Sasana Loft Tribe,

At the time of his death the "Tompkins County Democrat" said "Died, in the Village of Ithaca, on the 7th of January, 1857, of consumption, Stephen Mack, aged 72 years. His funeral will be attended at 10 a. m. of Friday next from the residence of Mrs. E. Mack. Stephen Mack was bom December 29th, 1784, at Kinderhook, N. Y., and therefore at the date of his death, was about 72 years of age. He graduated at Yale College almost half a century ago, having belonged to the class of 18 13, of which Senator Badger, of North Carolina,

is one of the few surviving members. He studied law with Samuel Sherwood, of Delhi, N. Y., and, upon the death of his father, moved to Owego, from whence, about the 3'ear 1816, he came to Ithaca, and commenced the practice of law, which he continued until the period of his death. He was never married. As a lawyer he was methodical, diligent and learned, and oftentimes in a case requiring great study, care and investigation, a formidable adversary. Quiet and retired in his habits he mingled little with the world, and gave almost his entire time to study and reflection. His illness was brief, originating in a sudden cold, and rapidly advanced to a fatal termination. In

his death another of the links binding the present to the past has been rudely sundered. He was a brother of Ebenezer and

Horace Mack, who, though younger

in years,

preceded him to

the grave, and whose memories yet linger freshly

among

us.

The same issue of "Tompkins County Democrat" said "At a meeting of the Bar of Tompkins County, held January 8th, 1857, upon occasion of the decease of Stephen Mack, Caleb B. Drake was appointed chairman, and Amasa Dana, secretary. Upon motion, Messrs. B. G. Ferris, Alfred Welles and F. M.

Deacon Richard Gary, a veteran who had served in the American army during the greater part of the Revolution.

In 1836 he

became connected with the geological survey of New York State, having been appointed by Gov. Marcy.

Emmons,

geological report

claimed that this system of rocks, which he named the Taconic, after
the range to which belong Mt. Washington and Greylock, in Massa-

and was older than the Siluvian system. This opened a controversy with other geologists that continued up to the time of his death, and he was denounced and ridiculed unmercifully but his conclusions were strengthened by later discoveries and are now accepted, in part at least, by nearly all American geologists. In the latter part of 1842, by appointment of Gov. Seward, Prof. Emmons became custodian of the collections made by the survey, which had been arranged by Prof. Vanuxen and Prof. Hall at Albany, and aided the latter in completing the work in agriculture and paleontolIn 1843 1^^ g^^^ ^P paleontology to devote himself, by appointogy.

removed to Palmyra, N. Y. Joseph's education was very defective. With the aid of Sidney Rigdon he brought forth the 'Book of Mormon' which he claimed to have discovered under angelic guidance, written on plates and hidden in the earth and on this he founded and organized his church in Manchester, N. Y., April 6, 1831. In 1 83 1 he went with his disciples to Kirtland, Ohio, and erected a costly but very singular temple. He removed in 1838 to Far West, Mo., and there his disciples gathered. They soon removed to Hancock County, 111., where they built a city called Nauvoo, and constructed another costly temple. Here Smith combined in his own person the chief military, municipal and ecclesiastical offices.

They were both inclined to teach millenarianism, which at that time was beginning to attract attention in western New York and they accordingly settled into the doctrine that the millennium was close at hand, that the Indians were to be speedily converted, and that America was to be the final gathering place of the saints, who were to assemble at New Zion or New Jerusalem, somewhere in the interior of the continent. With the 'Book of Mormon' as their text and authority, they began to preach this new gospel and Smith's family and a few of his associates, together with some of Rigdon 's previous followers, were soon numerous enough to constitute the Mormon church, as it was styled by the people around them, or the church of Latter Day Saints, as they presently began to call themselves. The church was first regularly organized at Manchester, N. Y., April 6, 1830, and the first conference was held at Fayette, N. Y., in June, at which time the number of believers had increased to 30. Smith, directed as he said by revelation, in January, 183 1, led the whole body of believers to Kirtland, Ohio, which was to be the seat of the New Jerusalem. Here converts were rapidly made, and soon, desiring a wider field for the growth of the church. Smith and Rigdon travelled westward, looking for a suitable location, which was found in Independence, Jackson Co., Mo., where in August Smith dedicated a site for the temple to be erected by the saints, and

To all this, Oliver Cowdrey, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris, Smith's associates and earliest converts, attested when the translation was finished. In the year 1829, Smith and Cowdrey, who now craved baptism, were ordained priests of the order of Aaron by a holy messenger, who announced himself as John the Baptist, and who commanded them to baptize each other. The order of apostleship was subsequently restored, it is reported, by visits from Peter, James and John. The next year a large edition of the 'Book of Mormon' was printed, and some adherents to its author and its doctrines being found, on April 6, 1830, the 'Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' was organized at Fayette, N. Y. The prophet's ideas seem to have been, at this time, vague and confused as to his church, and 'numerous revelations were required to shape the church as it was finally established'.

name is "Kate Claxton". Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography says of her "Kate Claxton, actress, b. in New York City in 1848. She first appeared with Lotta in Chicago, soon afterwards became a member of Daly's Fifth Avenue Company, and then of the Union Square Company, but attracted no attention till the production of 'Led Astray' in 1873, in which she won great popularity as Mathilde. Soon afterwards she made a reputation in the character of Louise in 'The Two Orphans,' with which she has become identified. She played it first at the Union Square Theatre, and was acting the part at the Brooklyn Theatre when that building was destroyed by fire Dec. 5, 1876. She became widely known for her coolness on that occasion, and by her efforts to calm the audience and prevent the rush for the doors, in which so many were killed. Soon afterwards Miss Claxton was in the Southern Hotel in St. Louis when it burned, and again displayed great coolness and energy, saving her own and her brother's life, and escaping by a burning stairway, that fell just after her foot had left the last

step.

After this

superstitious people, regarding her as

where she played. She has more recently played in Charles Reade's 'Double Marriage' and in the 'Sea of Ice'. Miss Claxton married Isidor Lyon, a New York merchant, but was subsequently divorced, and in 1876 married Charles Stevenson, a member of her company."

When Lafayette revisited America in 1824-5 he passed the camp and saw that his soldiers had put up a board sign to designate the spot which had been his headquarters. For many years the remains of this camp could still be seen. The ovens which the soldiers had built for Mr. William their baking were visible as late as forty years ago.

Harmanus

Bleecker, afterward U. S. Minister at the

Hague, was called to the bar. The possessor of a large estate of which a considerable portion of the village of Ithaca formed a part, and a favorite in and fond of society, his inclinations led him to literary and artistic pursuits as well as the cultivation of exact sciences. The designs and plans of buildings he has left behind him, show a careful study of good models, a correct eye for proportions and a familiarity with the principles of architecture, while his sketches and paintings in water color and oil are spirited and true to nature. He was a patron of the old Albany Library and one of the founders of the Albany Institute. He established and maintained a line of steamboats on the Cayuga Lake, which were in their day considered to be models of speed, comfort and safety. Through his exertions, and chiefly with his means, the Ithaca & Owego Railroad was constructed (one of the earliest lines in this State), and when the financial disasters of 1837 occurred, he lo?t his property by the forced sale of this road for a trifling part of its cost. Not long afterward he suffered the loss of his beloved wife (a daughter of the late Dudley Walsh), a lady of great worth and very attractive in person, mind and manner. He was Vice-President, and during the absence of Governor Fish in Europe acting President of the State Cincinnati Society.

Mr. DeWitt was a trustee of the Madison Avenue Reformed Church for thirteen years. He was at one time a director of the Albany Exchange Savings Bank.

was a brother-in-law of General Simeon DeWitt of Ithaca. Richard Varick DeWitt, senior, though never a resident of Ithaca, used often to visit here on pleasure and business being one of the executors of the estate of his father, Simeon DeWitt. He was well known by the citizens here and is still well remembered by a few of the older people yet living." The Ithaca Democrat said "The death is announced of Richard Varick DeWitt of Albany, a grandson of Simeon DeWitt and an honored and distinguished member of the New York Society of Cincinnati. This gentleman, whose father's name was the same as his own, had long been identified with the insurance business of Albany, and I believe was a vice-president or prominent officer of one of the insurance companies incorporated and doing business in that city. His death recalls a name and family, historic to Ithacans, and eminent in the annals of the State. I refer to Simeon DeWitt, who died in one of the upper rooms of the Clinton House, in this city, near the closing week of 1834, aged 78. General DeWitt had three sons, only one of whom married and left issue, and the person who has just passed away, was his only lineal grandson. The latter leaves one or more sons, so the family in the male line does not become extinct. The father of the deceased, Richard Varick DeWitt, senior, was bom at Albany at the beginning of the last century. He lived there and died there February 7, 1868, aged 68 years. He is said to have been like his father a gentleman of varied literary accomplishments and a member of the Albany Institute, of which institution both himself, and his father, the surveyor-general of the State, had been among the founders.

Bloodgood, who was closely related to them, were the original promoters and main financial support of the old Ithaca and Owego railroad, the second railroad incorporated in the State, and the first in that part of it, west of the Mohawk Valley. It was a bold, brilliant enterprise for that day, but was not financially successful, and left the estates of the promoters heavily embarrassed. The association of the elder Richard Varick DeWitt with his father and his uncle. Colonel Richard Varick, both distinguished officers of the Revolution, and eminent in civil life, brought him in contact with many of the eminent men who then flourished, and gave him the opportunity of cultivating their friendship. Among his friends were such eminent men as Gouverneur Morris, the Livingstons, DeWitt Clinton, Chancellor Kent, the Spencers, General Armstrong and many others. C. F. MuLKS." Unmarried.

History of the Dey Family.

Married Augustus dePeyster. She died between 1866 and 1870, at Brookline, Mass. At the time of her death an Albany newspaper said "The death of Mrs. Alice de Peyster brings tribulation and anguish to so many, both at home and abroad, that her immediate family constitute but a small part of the sorrowful array who mourn her loss and will cherish her memory. Bereaved of her mother in infancy, she became an object of the tender care and culture of one of the meekest of Christians and most accomplished of men, her father, the late Richard Varick DeWitt. Under his wise and loving supervision, her moral and intellectual character was formed and it was just what might have been expected from the tutelage of so much goodness and wisdom. Her suave manners and gentle nature made her the idol of her companions during childhood and youth, and won the love and regard of the mature and observant, who found ground for hopes of future excellence and usefulness in her receptive mind, active intellect and conscientious industry which hopes, however high, were more than justified in her womanhood. The fine moral qualities and mental capabilities she was endowed with by nature were carefully nourished and strengthened, and they early expanded to a depth and breadth that afforded support to every grace and virtue that piety, intelligence and refinement could implant there. Enjoying keenly the high and refined pleasures which such endowments and acquisitions can hardly fail to give to those who possess them to her, nevertheless, those rich gifts seemed rather a trust fund for the benefit of others, and in her unselfishness accounted herself a beneficiary. Hence, no opportunity to do good or give pleasure to others was suffered to pass unimproved, and her labors in the church and the Sabbath school earned for her the respect of age and the love of childhood. From this field and such pursuits, and from a society that loved her, four short years ago, she was taken, amid blessings and tears, to enter upon a new career of life on another theatre leaving memories behind her that will now be hoarded more closely than ever. She became the wife of one worthy to be her husband, and in this relation she was, what she had been in every other, a theme of praise and a model for imitation. In her new sphere, as in the one she had left, she compassed the affection and respect of all who came to have knowledge of her, and tears are now flowing as freely in Brookline as in Albany over a dispensation so mysterious, that Faith itself may be pardoned for wondering whether Heaven can need so much as Earth does such women as Alice DeWitt de Pe^'ster.

Out of twenty-four years in the Navy, he was only two years unemployed, seeing service on the survey, off the coast of Africa, in the Mediterranean, on the lakes, in the naval observatory, on the Paraguay expedition, and on the Pacific. At the beginning of the Civil War he was ordered to St. Louis to superintend the construction of iron-clads, and commanded the "St. Louis," the first vessel of that kind that was built in the United States, doing valuable service at Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Island No. 10, Fort Pillow and in many skirmishes with confederate gun-boats. While thus employed he was attacked with acute dysentery, but still continued at his post. He was wounded at Fort Donelson, and again at Island No. 10, by the explosion of a loo-pound rifle gun, which threw him in the air, and killed and maimed more than a dozen others. After a few months absence on sick-leave he reported for duty, and after being stationed a short time at the Brooklyn navy-yard he was ordered to command the Galena of the James river squadron. After the war he was successively in command of the Monocacy, Eutaw, Cyane, on the Pacific squadron, and the Wateree, on board of which he died.

way to become interested in general history is to study family history the two are so closely connected. Her own genealogy is one to interest others as well as herself, as she is a lineal descendant of many notable men and women, tracing her line to titled and distinguished forefathers on the other side of the Atlantic, though it is of her early American progenitors that she feels proud in a quiet, modest way. On her father's side she is descended from Governor John Winthrop first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay settlement in 1630 also from Thomas Dudley, second Governor of Massachusetts Bay, whose eldest son, Rev. Samuel Dudley, married the only daughter of Governor Winthrop. Their daughter married Edward Hilton the elder, who is known as the 'Father of New Hampshire,' being the first settler in that district.

He was present at the siege and surrender of Yorktown, and later, when peace was declared, was one of the founders of the Order of the Cincinnati. Miss Koues was born in New Orleans, but her father was a native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and her mother a New Yorker. She has passed most of her life in New York, but went abroad to finish her education. She is much occupied in philanthropic and church work, and it was she who originated the idea and plan which have developed into the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Episcopal Church. She is the first and only historian of the Governor Thomas Dudley Family Association, formed in 1892, which meets annually in Boston, and which numbers a long list of well-known members, such as President Eliot of Harvard, President Oilman of the Johns Hopkins University, Anson Phelps Stokes, Woodbury G. Langdon, and ex-Governor George Peabody Wetmore. At present she is busy pursuing her historical studies at Columbia and Barnard, having gained her scholarship through competitive examination there.

Spencer, of the drug house of Spencer & Co., of this city, were on their way to attend the open air concert at the Fort. The horse they were driving, a high lifed animal, owned by ]\Ir. Spencer, when about three hundred yards south of the bridge that spans the Narrow Gauge railway track, midway between the city and Fort, from some unknown cause, became frightened and dashed down the hill leading to the bridge at a terrible speed. When near the bottom of the hill, in his endeavors to control the frightened horse, Mr. Spencer broke the right hand line, and before he could release the strain on the left hand line, the horse had been pulled over to the west side of the bridge, through the wooden railing of which he crashed, taking with him to the railway track, some twenty feet below, the buggy and its ill-fated occupants. This occurred a few minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening, and no one was present to witness the terrible plunge over the bridge. Miss Aller was driven as rapidly as possible from the scene of the accident to her home, where all that the combined medical

and At the

time of his death the Springfield Journal said "The funeral of Mr. Grover Ayers, Jr., at the Central Baptist Church Saturday

was largely attended, the church being crowded to its utmost capacity. This young man who grew up among you, the schoolmate in the public and Sabbath school had a character of remarkable purity. There could not be found upon it a stained spot. There was a nobleness of character that revealed itself to all and cannot be forgotten. He allowed his ripest thoughts to go out beyond the present. There lived in him a grand, noble, moral courage, and his nature craved something higher than even a pure life, and he stood up before the congregation and said, 'I want to be a Christian'. Though he had not connected himself with any church he was a Christian, and he has left his young gentlemen schoolmates an example that may be followed with safety. He was the peer of any of his associates intellectually, but he was ready to lay that intellect at the feet of his God. He had a noble ambition to cultivate the intellect that God had given him. All that has gone down with him, but let us hope in the life before him his highest aspirations
will be realized.

writing to you hoping you will be able with your researches to make connection with my family. My great-grandfather,

Jacob Ayers, came to this county at the close of 1795 from Salisbury, N. C. I have a letter from his father Moses written to Jacob in 1803 from Salisbury giving various family items, back of that after working seven or eight years, I am unable to go. I have two contracts between Wade Hampton and Jacob Ayers dated 1792. I wrote to General Hampton and sent copies of these papers. He wrote me they were signed by his grandfather. Now this is m}' line as I know it Moses and Dorcas Ayers Jacob and Innocent Nathaniel and Mary Ramey Monroe and Lousiana Coburn. My father's oldest brother wrote me a few years ago, (he has since died,) that he heard his grandfather say, that is Jacob of above, that the Ayers came from New Jersey to North Carolina, and that they left land there if any of them wanted to go back and claim it. Two strong traditions I have always heard, that the family is Scotch,

A. Gordon of
Boston about my mother's family. He suggested that my Ayers ancestors may have come with the several hundred Scotch families that settled in North Carolina, refugees from the Stuart rebellion in Scotland of 1745. Yet my uncle David who was past eighty when he wrote, says the family moved to North Carolina from New Jersey. Now I am writing to you as a dernier ressort. I am not able to go down to North Carolina and make researches and letters sent there do no good. Hoping to hear from you, I remain very sincerely yours, Clara Ayers."

It is very incomplete in details because I have had so little communication with my father's family. To tell the truth I am not at all satisfied with a genealogy with a 'missing link'. I trace my mother's family back to Roger Conant, 'clear as a bell,' and I should like to do the same with the Ayers line. I was told there was a prominent Ayers family living in Danville, Va. Was advised by some one in North Carolina to write to Mrs. John Penn, Regent of D. A. R., Danville, Va., for information, but I had written so many letters and gotten no information I gave up discouraged. Before writing this I have read over all the letters of relatives I applied to. Every one says there is a strong tradition of Scotch descent. The tradition may be the result of the early association with the Scotch emigrants in North Carolina. I have nothing to show that we are descended from the New Jersey family only tradition. Do you want every date possible? Very truly, Clara Ayers."

The committee of which he was the head framed a tariff bill after many hearings and after much travail which was known as the McKinley bill, and which was sent to the Senate

school soon after, and at the age of fifteen entered the law office, Durham, of John O'Brien, as a student at law. Here, for some years, he worked most industriously, aiming to become a sound and learned lawyer, and feeling that, however he might have been endowed by nature with original ability, no man ever became a great lawyer without a most intense devotion to his profession, and a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles upon which the law is based. Appreciating fully these facts, young Tremain, earnestly, zealously, early and late, with his whole heart and mind bound up in the object

In addition to study, he aided his principal

many causes

in justices' courts in the

exhibited, in those early contests, the fertility of resource, the readi-

ness and quickness with which he brought his knowledge to bear upon questions as they arose, which, in after life, on wider fields and in the most important cases, were such marked characteristics.

What he learned, he learned thoroughly, so that he knew it all through and through, and never skimmed over a principle of law, but studied it until he was master of the reasons for its existence and the arguments,

He went back to Durham and formed a partnership with Mr. O'Brien, in whose office he had studied. His own practice soon became lucrative and extensive, and reached into the adjoining counties of Albany, Schoharie, Columbia and Ulster.

upon him to all of them he showed entire familiarity with the facts, an intimate knowledge of the law, including that relating to evidence, and a readiness to find the weak point in a witness or an antagonist that enabled him to make the most he could out of either. During these years he was a warm Democrat. In 1847 he was nominated for the office of County Judge by that wing of the Democratic party then known as the 'Hunker' wing. It was at a time when the bitterest animosity existed between the Hunkers and the Barnburners throughout the State. In this election, in Greene county there were three candidates for County Judge, one from each of the two wings of the Democratic party and one from the Whig party. The contest on the part of Mr. Tremain with his party divided, seemed almost a forlorn hope, yet such was his general popularity and the universal faith in his integrity and ability, that he was triumphantly elected. In 1848 he was one of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention, when Lewis Cass was nominated for the Presidency, and stood among the leading men In the fall of 1851 he was renominated of the New York delegation. for the County Judgeship, and had for his opponent the Honorable Alexander H. Bailey, who was subsequently State Senator. The contest was very animated and close, and the portion of the Democratic party which had been of the Barnburner wing did not support him with any great cordiality, and the result was a very doubtful one depending upon the action of the board of county canvassers
