His resignation was given in order to assume the editorial and business management of the Boston Recorder, and when that paper was consolidated with the Congregationalist, in 1867, he joined the editorial staff of the united papers, and was also at the same time the managing editor of the Congregational Review. Later he purchased and managed till his death a small paper called the Daily News, in order to advance the cause higher success or the health and happiness of one so dear to us and him. During the Civil war Mr. Hooker was drafted for the army, but his people could not spare him, and with promptness cheerfully procured a substitute. In the winter of 1866-67 there was a deep religious awakening in the evangelical churches of the town, Mr. McCollom of the First, Mr. Preston of the Baptist, Mr. Waite of the Methodist, and Mr. Hooker of the Mystic, with many laymen of those churches, working earnestly and

In 1803 Benjamin Hall, John Brooks, Fitch Hall, Ebenezer Hall, 2d, and Samuel Buell First postmaster of Medford. were the petitioners to the Legislature to form the Medford Turnpike Association. This road was built east of Winter and Ploughed hills and presented a shorter route to Boston than the old road over Winter hill. The road was built and proved a great convenience to teamsters. It remained a turnpike until 1867, when it was laid out as a county road. Few old residents of Medford, to this day, call it by its modern name, Mystic avenue. It is the Turnpike to them and their children. When Col.

Thenceforth her life was a battle, a constant rowing against the stream of popular prejudice and hatred. And through it all she bore herself with patience, fortitude, and unshaken reliance upon the justice and ultimate triumph of the cause she had espoused. Whenever there was a brave word to be spoken, her voice was heard, and never in vain. In a letter written to the Rev. Samuel J. May in 1867, Mrs. Child refers as follows to the change in her circumstances made by the publication of the Appeal: With regard to society I was a gainer decidedly, for though the respectables, who had condescended to patronize me, forthwith sent me to Coventry, AntiSlav-ery introduced me to the noblest and best in the land, intellectually and morally, and knit us together in that firm friendship which grows out of sympathy in a good but unpopular cause. I was quite surprised one day, some time before

hitmore was born at Dorchester, Sept. 6, 1836, and died at Boston June 14, 1900. He was a son of Charles O. and Lovice (Ayres) Whitmore, and was educated in the public schools and was graduated at the Boston Latin School in the class of 1851. In 1867 Harvard and Williams Colleges conferred the degree of A. M. upon Mr. Whitmore. Mr. Whitmore entered upon a business life in Boston and was connected with successful firms. He early showed a masterful interest in antiquarianism, particularly i, many of which have been reprinted. He contributed, in 1855, the genealogical portion of Brooks' History of Medford.
