PREFATORY REMARKS. 



The Atwater family can congratulate itself that this history, 
the third compiled by the writer, and preceded by two small rec- 
ords edited by the late Rev. E. E. Atwater, of New Haven, Conn., 
the first being published in the early fifties, followed by a second 
twenty years later, covers a period of nearly seventy years of re- 
search and compiling. Probably no other family in the United 
States has been so fortunate as to have two of its members follow 
in succession, tracing, searching, classifying, and publishing their 
reports at stated periods. There can be no doubt of the fact for 
the writer has familiarized himself with nearly every genealogy 
printed, and knows of not one that has a continuous record. 

The work has never depended upgn the family contributing 
toward its support or guaranteeing expenses of publication. In 
fact, the purchase of a book has been a privilege granted. 

In this respect the writer visited one Atwater who lived several 
hundred miles away. After giving the family history the host 
asked his guest how much he charged for his book. The price of 
$5.00 brought an expression of astonishment at the high cost. 
The expense of the expedition had been $35. The guest told his 
host while it would cost as much more to return, if he should sell 
him a copy, which was immaterial, the difference between the 
price paid and the expense would be about the profit and loss each 
sale entailed. Conscientious compilers, who have had expe- 
rience, realize a family history must necessarily be accomplished 
without any expectation of compensation. 

While one edition after another has been more complete, the 
present book has afforded a chance to be the product of expe- 
rience that can only be gained by a long apprenticeship. We had 
supposed that but very few family names in America and Canada 
had escaped our notice, but after wading through several hun- 
dred town, city and county directories we found that there were 
nearly 300 names unrecorded. When this book is printed we ex- 
pect to add sketches and pedigrees of every one who can be 
traced out. This is no easy task, for although we may have the

correct address, and send one request, a second, even a third, the 
chances are that not one in ten will send an answer. Then some 
one in the town or city where the recalcitrant lives must be found 
who will furnish the information sought or the compiler must 
give up his time and money to seek it himself. 

While many may not care whether their projenitors were good, 
bad or indifferent, only one had the boldness to say so, John 
Birdseye Atwater, of Minneapolis, Minn., who curtly dismissed 
a courteous inquiry by writing : "I am not interested in family 
genealogy, even in myself." Yet his father had been an hon- 
ored judge of the state of Minnesota and we had hoped to print 
more of his life work. 

The descendants of David Atwater for the first 125 years of 
their existence, had followed agricultural pursuits, were trades- 
men, shipping merchants, and some few had served as craftsmen 
in various trades. They do not seem to have devoted much time 
to educational training or studied for professional careers until 
Jeremiah, grandson of Jonathan (for his period the merchant 
prince of New Haven), became steward of Yale college, serving 
from 1778 to 1798. 

Since that period have graduated from various colleges minis- 
ters, doctors, lawyers and men of science and these have located 
in various sections of the United States and foreign countries. 
Five have been presidents of colleges, three brothers serving dif- 
ferent colleges at the same period. W'e could furnish statistics 
of all who have been identified with the growth of the country 
professionally, but figures are dry reading. 

We know some ridiculous errors have occurred in the first and 
second volumes, but we asked for criticisms and corrections. We 
know we never shall be forgiven for one error where by mistake 
a son was born a month after marriage. This was brought to 
our attention seventeen years after it first appeared in print and 
the voice which came over the telephone was choked with indig- 
nation. The unfortunate subject of this misprint we were told 
had never been informed, and it was hoped never ^yould be, espe- 
cially for our comfort. So you who have never committed a 
typographical sin know now that death is the only preventative 
of getting your deserts, for time has no allaying or soothing mit- 
igation. 



ATWATER HISTORY. 5 

We present in this book the descendants of Ehhu Atwater, who 
went from his home town, Wallingford, Conn., to locate in Flor- 
ida prior to 1820. We had formerly traced him to a location 
called Cowford in that state and there all trace was lost. It has 
been our good fortune to include many other families heretofore 
unrecorded, the detection of which has been brought about from 
chance or apparently vague efforts. Persistency in many in- 
stances has revealed family connections more than one hundred 
years old. 

The simple record of births, marriages and deaths which we 
have tried to record correctly we do not attach much importance 
to. But where the man or woman has accomplished some worthy 
achievement the foundation is set as being worth while to per- 
petuate the family name. The three Atwater Histories are not 
monotonous presentations in stereotype form of one author, but 
generally told by some representative of each branch so as to 
record facts pertinent to distinguished deeds or the life history 
of a deserving career. Our position is similar to the dictagraph, 
or rather the typewriter, being the instrument to place on paper 
the information which others seek to convey. 

This being a war period, it is timely to say that the family has 
been represented in every war which has taken place in the United 
States, notably the French and Indian, the war for independence, 
the 1812 war, the Mexican, the Civil, the Spanish, and at this 
writing the allied cause, notably by the two young sons of Richard 
Mead Atwater, Jr., respectively nineteen and seventeen years old. 
In the Civil war an older brother of the writer entered at sixteen 
years of age, his tragic career being told elsewhere. 

After reading the family history covering the period of over 
four hundred years, who can gainsay that it should not be per- 
petuated ? 

Where no change has occurred in families since the publica- 
tion of the "second volume, these names have been omitted.

ATWATER HISTORY, 



DESCRIPTION OF THE EARLY FARM OF THE 
ATWATERS. 



The following" is a copy of a letter written by Rev. E. E. At- 
water, of New Haven, Conn., on a visit to London, about 1870. 

The place where the Atwaters lived in London resembles in 
soil that of Cedar Hill. Some of the land in the neighborhood 
is so sandy that it was never thought worth enclosing until with- 
in the last fifty years, though now with the improved husbandry of 
modern times, it does very well, especially in wet seasons. The 
land which they owned and cultivated for several centuries is 
lower than the open heath of which I have been speaking. It 
borders, indeed, upon a brook, and two lanes extend from the 
highway through the land to the vicinity of the brook. One of 
the lanes still retains the name of Water street. 

I have no doubt it took the name from our family who were 
called water and waters as well as at waters. Indeed, I find in 
old records a great many ways of writing it. One of our an- 
cestors, who calls himself Atwater, speaks of Adam Water, his 
brother's son, and the father of this Adam styles his name a 
church warden, Edward Water. The land lies something like 
the following diagram. 

At figure 1st was an At- 
water house, the chimney of 
which is still standing, a la- 
borer's house having been 
built up to it with the bricks 
of the old house. The house 
with the land was given to 
David (the emigrant) by an 
uncle of the same name who 
had buried his only child. Ad- 
joining it at 2, is an old house, 
still standing, of a type so 
antique that I cannot think it 
is less tahn 300 years old. It 
has some peculiarities of ar- 
chitecture which I have seen nowhere else except at Ospringe,

AT WATER HISTORY. 7 

which an old historian of the county says was the home of the At- 
waters before they lived at Lenham. At 3 and 4 are two other 
houses very similar to 2, but not so well preserved. No. 4 is 
scarcely fit to be inhabited but some apartments are occupied, I 
think, though I found no person at home either at my first or sec- 
ond visit. There are some fine large ash trees near No. 3. 

I think that No. 2 was the home of the father of the emigrants 
as their grandfather in his will describes it as adjoining Grant's 
Gate, which is still the name of No. i. I found on the parish 
register the baptism of Joshua, June 2nd, 161 1, and of David 
Oct. 8th, 161 5. I found also the baptism of Anna, their sister, 
May 13th, 1606, and have no doubt she is the "sister Atwater" 
mentioned in the seating of the meeting house in 1646, and that 
she made the family of Joshua count two in the first census 
though there is no evidence that he had a wife until he married 
Mary Blackman in 1651. These three were orphaned by the 
death of their father in Oct., 1636, and of their mother the fol- 
lowing January. 

Tlie expedition of Davenport and Eaton was by this time on 
foot, for in Jan., 1637, the vessel in which they sailed had been 
engaged. The inference is easy that these young people left 
free from the duty of staying at home sold their property and 
came to New England hoping to find a place where the arm of 
Lords could not touch them. 

Hoping these additions to the other letter may be interesting, 

I am yours truly, 

Edward E. Atwater. 



ATWATER HISTORY, 



GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 



(For other information see first and second volume Atwater Genealogy 

and History.) 



FIRST GENERATION. 



1. David Atwater, son of Thomas and Susan Narson, baptized in Len- 
ham church October 8, 1615. He was born in Eoyton in Lenham, Eng- 
land, and in the month in which he became twenty-one years of age, 
October, 1636, his father died, and his mother died scarcely more than 
two months later, — in January, 1637. In less than six months from the 
latter event, June 26, 1637, the brothers, Joshua and David, with their 
sister Ann, arrived in Boston. It cannot be doubted that their ar- 
rangements for removal, so hastily made at that time of general dis- 
content and apprehension in church and state affairs, involved large pe- 
cuniary sacrifices. He was one of the first settlers of New Haven, Conn. 

He married Damaris Sayre, daughter of Thomas Sayre, of Southamp- 
ton, L. I., before March 10, 1646-7. She died April 7, 1691. He died

Francis Atwater: 

Dear Sir: — Yours received, also several previous ones, intended to 
write before, but am a very busy woman and my information is lim- 
ited, as to date, utterly clouded. 

My grandfather was Jesse Atwater, married Lucretia Marten, in New 
York state "some where," came to Du Page ecounty, took up 200 acres 
of land for which he paid the government $125 per. There were seven 
children, born all in New York. Four girls, three boys — Olive, Betesy, 
Ann, Eachel, William, George and Benjamin who was the youngest and 
my father. Olive married a Ben Fuller. They lived on a farm just half 
way between Aurora and Chicago, the old Indian trail. It was a day's 
journey in those days, so they put up the travelers and opened a Tavern. 
It was called the half-way house and stands to-day a landmark of times 
gone by. A small town started there and is called " Fullersburg. " My 
father married Lucy J. Black from Broon county, a descendent of Rob- 
ert Burns. There are three children, Elnora, Alberte, William. My 
father's name went down the first one on the list at President Lincoln's 
first call for volunteers. I am very proud of my father. He served all 
through, was wounded at the last big battle. My mothere gave here life, 
as well, left with three little children, one a babe in arms, and all the 
hardships to go through; the then called galloping consumption developed 
and my father came home to find my mother dead and the children gone. 
If you write to Alfred Atwater, Elmhurst, Du Page Co., 111., I think you 
may get more direct information. , 

Yours cordially, 

ALBERTE ATWATER. 

159. Elihu, son of Elihu; m. Scott. He left Conecticut soon af-

before going to Florida where he settled. He drew land from the gov-

ernment and located at St. Mary's, Camden Co., Ga.; from there he 
moved to Quincy, Fla., and practiced law. He was given a certificate 
from Samuel Wyllys, secretary of the state of Connecticut, dated May 
22, 1801, that he had been admitted to the New Haven county bar and 
resided in Wallingford, Conn. He accumulated some wealth and owned 
quite a number of slaves. He d. Oct. 17, 1828.

He was a soldier in the American Eevolution. In the attack of the 
British on New Haven he was wounded and left for dead on the field, 
but recovered. After the defeat of Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo 
he was employed by the friends of the empereor to purchase a tract of 
land in Northern New York, which they intended as a retreat for the 
emperor should he succeed in making his escape. But on hearing that 
Napoleon had given himself to the English the project was abandoned. 

The two townships of land purchased and settled are in St. Lawrence 
Co., N. Y. It was a dense forest, and the only means of getting there 
was a road cut through the woods from Canada, corduroyed in wet and 
marshy places. Mr. Atwater built a store and saw mill and spent his 
fortune in improving his property. The two towns were named Eussell 
(after Mr. Atwater) and Norfolk. The present site of Potsdam was in 
this tract (12 miles by 6 miles). As there was much ague the country 
was slowly settled, and thought to be unhealthy and Mr. Atwater failed 
when his son was in the midst of his college course and he was obliged 
to teach school to get money to carry him through college and the Theo- 
logical Seminary.

40 ATWATER HISTORY. 

348, Jeremiah, son of Jeremiah, m. Clarissa Storrs, d. 1834; (2) Mrs. 
Susan Barnes, whom he survived four years until his death, July 29, 
1858. He was the first president of Middlebury College, Vermont, and 
afterward President of Dickinson College, at Carlisle, Pa. He was a 
native of New Haven, and a graduate of Yale College, class of 1793; 
was tutor in that college from 1795 to 1799; President at Middlebury 
from 1800 to 1809, and President at Carlisle from 1810 to 1818, when 
he resigned, after which he lived a very retired life on the parsimony 
left him by his father, the later years almost as a recluse. His house 
in New Haven stood on the site once occupied by Colonel John Dixwell, 
famous as one of the judges by whom King Charles I. was sentenced to 
execution as a traitor. Dr. Atwater was a man of great reading, and 
of a retentive memory, especially of historic events and the lives and 
characters of men he had known, but had not a fondness for writing, and 
has left, it is believed, but few literary remains of his life.

Mr. Francis Atwater, 

New Haven, Conn. 
Dear Sir: As you seem quite persistent in writing me, I will tell you 
all I know which is not much. I may, and may not be any relation to 
your family. My grandfather. Ward Atwater, I think, was born in 
Nova Scotia, near Halifax. My grandmother, I know, was. She was 
Mary Ann Biglow. There were twelve children born to this union, 
seven sons and five daughters. Seven of these children were born in 
Nova Scotia. All lived to grow up but three who died in childhood. 
They lived in Eastern Wisconsin some years after coming from Nova 
Scotia. From there they came to La Crosse county, Wis., being in the 
western part of the state. Their children married and raised families. 
The most of them, at least. One son, James, a soldier of the Civil war, 
was unmarried and Eebecca never had any. My aunt, Eebecca Byrns, 



ATWATER HISTORY. 45 

of Sparta, Wis., is the oiiW one of the children living. She is seventy- 
seven years of age. My father, Wililam B. Atwater, died April 8, 1917. 
My mother, Calista Post Atwater, has her home with me. There were 
three boys and one girl in their family, Elmer E., my oldest brother, 
died (or was drowned) at the age of 23. He left an infant daughter 
who is now Mrs. Guy Lindsey of Utah. My other brother, J. T. At- 
water, lives in Barron, Wis. He buried his first wife and married again. 
Has four living children, three of them married. My only sister, Grace 
M. Jewett, lives at Rice Lake, Wis., and has eight living children, all 
unmarried as yet. My sister is fifteen years younger than I am and 
the two brothers are older. As for me I have two living children, a son, 
who lives on the farm, and about fifty feet from me and has three chil- 
dren. A daughter, Lenore Kirst, w^ho lives about thirty miles from 
me, and has none, as she has only been married one year, the ith of 
April, there is plent}^ of time yet. 

Yours truly,

birthday. In 186!J, he married Sarah Josephine Waring, of Brooklyn, 
N. Y., who lived only fifteen months, dying with their baby daughter at 



48 ATWATER HISTORY. 

St. Cloud, Minn. On Jan. 7, 1867, he married Cornelia Augusta Evarts, 
of Burlington, Vt., who with their daughter, Ella Evarts, survives him. 
Ella E. was born Nov. 20, 1868; m. Nov. 12, 1903, Daniel Parker Kilborn. 
Mr. Atwater died of erysipelas at Point of Eocks, Mont., on Good Friday, 
April 7, 1882, and was buried at Dillon, Mont., on Easter Sunday. 

His profession was that of civil engineer, and his experience was 
gained in government surveys in Michigan and Minnesota. For many 
years he was secretary of the Land Department of the St. Paul and Pa- 
cific E. E., with offices at St. Paul, and the town of Atwater, Minn., was 
named for him. Shortly before his death, in 1882, he received from 
the federal government the appointment of Deputy Mineral Surveyor of 
the territories of 'Montana and Idaho, with a salary of $10,000. He was 
the first in that country to use the solar compass. 

Mr. Atwater 's perseverance and tenacit}^ of purpose, as well as his 
technical skill, are illustrated in the following incident related by an 
old friend and fellow worker, Mr. J. M. Page: 

"In 1856 he had a large government contract to extend the public sur- 
veys in northern Michigan. The work was found to be very difficult, 
heavy forests, dense cedar swamps, and worst of all, a chain of lakes, 
bordered with thickets of cedar, making it next to impossible for him to 
run the meander lines. In fact, he found it could not be done on land 
without heavy loss, so he decided to run the exteriors and section lines, 
setting the meander corners on the lakes that year, and return in the 
early spring and run the meander lines on the ice. Early in March of 
18.57 he returned from Vermont with a party to complete his work. There 
were four of us, and our first experience was to go a hundred and fifty 
miles north from Newago, Mich., through dense forest, on snow shoes, 
each carrying a pack of seventy-five pounds. When we finally reached 
the work, we found the lakes covered with a solid sheet of ice, but over 
it, four to twelve inches of water caused by a recent thaw. That was 
when our real trouble began. We, of course, had to run our lines on 
the ice; and there was no time to lose, as spring was at hand. When it 
came to taking readings in ice-water ten or twelve hours a day and then 
camping in three to five feet of snow at night; there seemed an end to 
ordinary human endurance; so at the end of the first week two sturdy 
men declared they could not stand it and quit. The result was that Mr. 
Atwater and I completed the work alone before the ice broke up. How 
his other men could desert him in such a crisis is more than I can see. 
His influence, instruction and advice shaped my whole career and life. 
He was my best friend and just such a friend as a young man need^ 
when his character is being formed to grapple with the problems of 
life."

Frances H., dau. of Dennis and Alvena Hedges, b. July 19, 1825; d. Oct. 
29, 1915. He was for many years prominent in the business circles of 
the town of Westfield, where he had made his home for the greater part 
of his long life of ninety years. He was born in the town of Eussell, 
Hampden Co., Mass. His grandfather, Benjamin Atwater, a native of 
New Haven, but for many years a resident of Cheshire, Conn., was a very 
successful business man, and for many years in connection with 
large farming interests kept the Cheshire Inn. Through exceptional 
business ability and a natural genius for trading he was able to exchange 
to great advantage his farm products in the city of New Haven for var- 
ious things necessary in the running of a public house. This trait of 
ability to trade was apparently inherited from his grandfather, Jona- 
than, who as we know was called at the height of his business career in 
New Haven, one of the "merchant princes." Thus it would seem that 
the great grandchild, Leonard, came naturally by his talents as trader 
and business man. At the age of sixteen we find him beginning his bus- 
iness career, previous to which time all opportunities of an education 
had been obtained at the district school and Wilbraham Academy. From 
1840 when he made his first business trip to Ohio, in the interests of 
the American Whip Co., until 1898, when he retired from active busi- 
ness with but few intermissions, which might properly be called vaca- 
tions, he was an untiring and indefatigable worker. His success during 
this period was so marked that he is recorded in the town history, as be- 
ing one of the most successful of the business men of his day and gen- 
eration. In the prime of life Mr Atwater was of medium height. He 
had dark hair, sparkling black eyes, and a very pleasing address in con- 
versation. He was a great story teller, and withal a very agreeable per- 
son to meet.

daughters and one son survived their mother. When she was over 80 
she took a trip east in company with her husband and a daughter who 
was a teacher in Chicago. Among other places they visited the na- 
tional capitol — and at the Washington monument (she was a little wom- 
an, and spry as a cricket) she said, although she could have walked up 
all right, she knew it would be too much for Mr. Gillett and Ann — so 
she took the elevator.

Sarah Atwater finished knitting her first pair of stockings when she was 
five years old. During the later years of her life the D. A. E. did much 
for her comfort and pleasure. In 1902 they gave a reception in honor 
of her 81st birthday — Mrs. Sarah Atwater Ward, "who is a distin- 
guished member of the chapter in that her father was a soldier in the 
Eevolutionary War." Mrs. Ward responded to the toast in the fol- 
lowing words: "I thank you, one and all, for the pleasure of this birth- 
day anniversary. I could talk a long time and say so little, but I want 
to thank every one and say that I feel that when this chapter comes 
before the great white throne, the Lord will say to its daughters, "Come 
ye blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world. For she was ahungered and ye gave her meat, 
she was athirst and ye gave her drink; a stranger and ye took her in; 
sick and ye visited her and inasmuch as ye did it unto her, one of the 
least of my people, ye did it unto me." She was presented with a bou- 
quet of 81 asters and at the supper following she cut the cake which 
was decorated with 81 candles, each of which was tied with a tri-col- 
ored ribbon. In 1907 a dinner was given Mrs. Sarah B. Atwater Ward,

who had the distinction of being one of the few original Daughters of 
the Aniereican Eevolution in the state of Wisconsin to celebrate her 
86th birthday, although she was the oldest person at the table, none of 
the guest senjoyed the event more keenly than she, and the wit of none 
sparkled more brightly. Except for deafness she was equal physically, 
to the average woman of many years her junior. She celebrated her 
90th birthday in 1911 by attending in the North park the unveiling of 
the bronze statue of the first president of the United States. "An in- 
teresting feature of the reception was the presence of an original daugh- 
ter of the American Eevolution, Mrs. Sarah Atwater Ward, whose 
father fought in the Revolutionary War, and who recollects many in- 
cidents and war stories which her father used to tell." She d. April 
3, 1917, at the age of 96 years. Mrs. Ward had one daughter, Helen m. 
^Flanders. Her great grandson is Halbert Raymond Ward Young.

where he had large landed investments. In 1873 he entered upon the 
drug business with his son Frank, who was an experienced druggist, as 
partner. This continued until a few years before his death, when he 
withdrew. Always an active, energetic, upright business man, he had a 
well earned name for unflinching honesty and fair dealing which made 
him a much honored citizen. His four children — three daughters and 
one son, were all born in Caj'uga Co., N. Y., by his first marriage and 
were: Mrs. Mary Williams of Ithaca, N. Y. Husband dead; two mar- 
ried daughters. 

In Vol. I. of the Atwater History occurs a slight mistake. It was the 
second daughter, Eliza Southworth, born 1845, who died at her father's 
home in Manchester, Iowa, Nov. 23, 1889. She had been a great suf- 
ferer for many years. It was the next daughter, Mrs. Cornelia Atwater 
Kelsey, who died in Gainsville, Ala., where she had been about two 
months hoping to be benefited by a warmer climate, but tuberculosis 
was too deeply seated. Her body was brought back to Manchester for 
interment. She left one little daughter, Susan. Frank J. Atwater, b.

550. John, son of John; m. in Angelica, N. Y., Oct. 1, 1873, Eliza 
Starr, dau. of J. C. Arnold and Sophia L. Starr, b. June 19, 1844. He 
was a grocer and lived at Newark, N. J. He d. at Angelica, N. Y., Nov. 
9, 1904. The following is cut from the Angelica Advocate: 

Mr. Atwater came from Connecticut ancestry of several colonial gen- 
erations. His father having moved to Genoa, Cayuga Co., N. Y., he 
himself was born there May 29, 1826; and there upon his father's farm 
were spent his boyhood days. The not unusual apprenticeship in the 
village store, was followed by the management of a department in a 
large dry goods house in Rochester. Travel through the west, in the 
old time stage coach and a short land-office experience gave a fund of 
recollections for a lifetime. Eeturning east to Ithaca, N. Y., he with 
an esthetic taste, no less than as a business enterprise, undertook and 
acquired the art of photography. He came to Angelica in 1863 and 
opened a photograph gallery. For several years he continued the bus- 
iness which because of its excellence was large and satisfactory. 

During those years his advice and aid was often sought and freely 
given in various village improvements. He was made village trustee, 
president of the board, and street commissioner. In all these positions 
his taste and ability were exercised in a manner that met with gen- 
eral approval. The streets — all the streets — were brought from mud 
and dust to a suggestion of macadam, the approaches to the village 
were made better and safer; obstructive fences were leveled as pre- 
ventive of winter drifts; sidewalks were graded and maintained as 
never before. The park was cared for until it was the pride of every 
resident and admiration of all who came. And at the annual town 
meeting a strict accounting was rendered; old unsettled bills were paid; 
and to the general surprise taxes were not increased. The County 
Agricultural Society had met with repeated reverses until there were 
thoughts of abandoning it altogether. Mr. Atwater was prevailed up- 
on to take the secretaryship and reorganize the fair on a larger and 
more satisfactory plan. In 1882 he engaged with his elder brother 
Samuel, since deceased, in the grocery business of Atwater & Carter, 
Newark, N. J. While still retaining his residence in Angelica, the most 
of his time was spent in Newark until about two years ago, when he

disconnected himself from business and returned permanently to An- 
gelica. His last illness was brief; a fall on the frosty walk, the re- 
sulting shock to his entire nervous system, a two weeks' struggle for 
the mastery, a peaceful shortening of the breath, and life was closed. 

Mr. Atwater was married Oct. 1, 1873, to Miss Eliza Starr Arnold. 
Mrs. Atwater and the one daughter, Sophia L., remain at the old fam- 
ily home. Mrs. Susan Gillett of Kenosha, Wis., and Mrs. Sarah 
Ward of Oskosh, Wis., also survive him. 

Mr. Atwater was naturally retiring and unassuming, dignified yet 
genial, having a memory well stored with reminiscences of the past and 
a pleasant faculty of bringing these reminiscences to the enlivenment >f 
the present. To the last his erect bearing and neat appearance as he 
walked the street were eagerly noticeable and quite in contrast with 
many of the younger men around him.

My dear Mr. Atwater: 

It appears that I gave you an incorrect name for my mother's maiden 
name. Her name was Clora M. Collester. She was born January 7, 



"jd ATWATER HISTORY. 

1858, in Wayne County, Michigan. My father's full name was Arthur 
Edison Atwater. He was born at Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, Mich- 
igan, April 3, 1858, and died at Hopkins, Allegan County, Michigan, Jan- 
uary 18, 1884, being twenty-five years, nine months and fifteen days old 
at time of death. Father and mother were married at Wayland, Allegan 
County, Michigan, November 3, 1878. 

I, LaVerne Nathan Atwater, was born at Hopkins, Allegan County, 
Michigan, February 13, 1883. I was married to Susa L. Mohler, at Mus- 
kegon Heights, Muskegon County, Michigan, on June 27, 1905. She is 
the daughter of Eichard Mohler and was born on June 2, 1881, at Ster- 
ling, Illinois. We have one son, Eussell LaVerne Atwater, born at 
Grand Eapids, Michigan, on October 14, 1910. 

I am not sure as to whether or not you have obtained a complete data 
on Andrew Lewis Atwater, brother of Arthur. All the additional in- 
formation I could obtain was that he was born April 8, 1853, somewhere 
in Ohio, but could not learn the date of death. This is all the additional 
information I have on hand now. If I can assist you any farther at this 
time, please command me.

Sill, who was born in 1814, and died in 1864. He died in 1856. They 
are both buried in Versailles cemetery at McKeesport, Pa. Had 5 chil. 
The Atwaters were among the very first settlers of McKeesport and the 
family is still represented there. From a book entitled "First One 
Hundl-ed Years of McKeesport, 1794-1894," I have gathered that Asaph 
Atwater was the third schoolmaster in the town where the earliest ob- 
tainable record of school teaching shows that the profession was en- 
gaged in the year 1816, long before a school house had been erected. 
Asaph Atwater taught subsequent to the year 1831. To quote the book: 
"Before the erection of a school building in town, the old timers' 
ideas were generally taught to shoot in a country school house, about a 
quarter of a mile south of the present city limits, near where Christy 
Park begins. The house was built of logs, one log being left out of 
each side and the space thus formed being filled in with 8x10 glass to 
aflford the necessary light. Asaph Atwater, afterward burgess of the 
town, was the schoolmaster and he ruled the youngsters with an iron 
hand; and be it said to his credit, he taught them something." 

This same book also records the fact that the Atwaters were active 
in politics for it shows that Asaph Atwater was burgess (12th) of the 
town in the year 1853, while William Atwater was also burgess in the 
year 1865.

for Baldwin, Kent & Co., a wholesale dry goods house in Eichmond, Va., 
and he accepted, going by way of a schooner from New York. In a few 
years he returned to New York as a resident partner, doing the buying 
and other responsible duties. He was a conservative and yet a progres- 
sive man with large business interests, unostentatious and untiring in 
his promotion of great enterprises, but commercial and religious. Ee- 
moving to Springfield, Mass., he was the originator of the Glasgow Mills, 
at South Hadley Falls, for the manufacture of ginghams; also the 
Springfield street railroad which he founded and supported during the 
trying years of its beginning and was also closely identified with the 
Memorial church in that city, in fact, he and Dr. J. G. Holland may be 
said to be its founders. His friendships were strong and tender and he

was broad in his religious views and much given to hospitality and es- 
pecially fond of entertaining clergymen. Mr. Atwater owned a mag- 
nificent estate of several hundred acres in Springfield which he called 
Rockrimmon, on which he erected a fine mansion on its highest point, 
He improved the surroundings in walks and drives, setting out thou- 
sands of trees, allowing the shrubs and vines to grow undisturbed. The 
situation is remarkable for the grand, sweeping view it affords of the 
valley, bounded by Mt. Tom on the north and the Blandford Hills on the 
west. The beautiful ravines are another feature, only a small portion 
being level ground. The mansion stands 130 feet above the Connecticut 
river. At the bottom of the 90-foot terrace lies Brightwood, the river 
below winding its way down the valley like a ribbon of silver and lends 
a charming setting to the vast spread of hills and meadow lands dotted 
here and there by houses and farm buildings. Here Mr. Atwater spent 
his declining years amid one of the most picturesque natural parks, 
every tree and shrub being admired and landscape view adored.

DRIVEWAY IN "ROCKEIMMON" ESTATE." 



754. David Fisher, son of Charles, m. in Sharon, Conn., Sept. 14, 1848, 
Sarah A. Sears, a lineal descendant of Gov. Bradford and daughter of 
Dr. John and Almira (Gould) Sears of Sharon; b. June 5, 1828; d. Feb. 
13, 1910. He d. May 2, 1916, in Springfield, Mass. Dr. Atwater was 
born at North Branford, Conn., the third son of Rev. Charles Atwater, 
a graduate of Yale in the class of 1805; the latter studied theology un- 
der the first Dr. Timothy Dwight, Yale, 1769, was ordained to the min- 
istry and installed in the Congregational Church on March 1, 1809. Dr. 
Atwater entered Yale in 1835, during the important period in the his- 
tory of the college, when Dr. Jeremiah Day, Yale, 1795, held the pres- 
ident's office. The doctor was justly proud of '39, for the class roll 
contains many notable names, among them United States Senator Dawos 
of Massachusetts, Prof. Josiah D. Whitney of Harvard, Charles Astor 
Bristed, '39s leading man of letters and founder of the "Bristed schol- 
arship," Gen. Henry R. Jackson, brigadier general in Hood's army and 
United States minister to Mexico, James 0. Putnam, chancellor of the 
University of Buffalo and United States minister to Belgium, and Prof. 
Enoch Fitch Burr of Amherst College. 



ATWATER HISTORY. 85 

The doctor's memories of Yale College of the early half of the 19r,h 
century dated back to the time when the entrance examinations were 
conducted orally from the gallery of the chapel and when tinder and 
flint were used to start fires and lights. At that time, too, Prof. Ben- 
jamin Silliman was discussing the development of the steamship, hold- 
ing that it was impossible to build one which could cross the Atlantic, 
and mail came once a day by stage coach from New York. The great 
secret society, "Skull and Bones," had even then been organized, but 
Dr. Atwater saw many other important Yale institutions organizcil. 

EARLY MEMORIES. 

After graduating from Yale in the class of '39, Dr. Atwater spent 
two years in the study of medicine, during part of which time he served 
as assistant physician at Bellevue Hospital, New York. He received his 
degree from Yale Medical School in 1842. Among his memories of that 
year was a banquet in New York, given by the mayor in honor of Charles 
Dickens, then making his first visit to this country. At the end of a 
year Dr. Atwater opened an office in Brooklyn, where he successfully 
practiced his profession for twelve years. During most of that time he 
was health physician to the city, and for a year served on the Board of 
Aldermen there. During the cholera epidemic of 1848 he had charge of 
the insane hospital at Flatbush. He used to recall meeting Fr. Mathew, 
the famous Irish temperance leader, with real pleasure. The meeting 
was in Brooklyn and he was introduced to the great man by the mayor 
and Dr. Atwater had the pleasure of driving his new acquaintance to 
St. Patrick's Cathedral. 

During the active life in Brooklyn the doctor served as surgeon of 
the 64th Regiment, New York State Infantry. He was a charter mem- 
ber of American Medical Association and of the Church of the Pilgrims 
and for many years had been the only living charter member of the 
church. His name is also among those of the original members of the 
New England Society and the Society for the Improvement of the Poor 
of Brooklyn. When he left Brooklyn he gave up his profession but .lot 
his interest in it or its members. 

On account of impaired health the doctor went to Cleveland, O., in 
1853, but returned in a few years to settle in Bridgeport, Conn. While 
there he served as a director both of the Bridgeport National Bank and 
the Public Library. 

PREDICTIONS THAT FAILED. 

Dr. Atwater remembers distinctly hearing his eminent professor, Ben- 
jamin Silliman of the class of 1796, speak with feeling because of the 
great possibilities of danger through carelessness should friction matches 
ever come into common use. One day he said in class that steamships 
never could be built capable of crossing the ocean safely, for even if 



86

ATWATER HISTORY. 87 

they could be built large enough for making regular trips, he said that 
they would not be practical, for he could not conceive of any way in 
which the walking beams could be covered so as to prevent the ocean 
waves from washing over and down into the engine room. It should be 
remembered that only sidewheelers were used in those days. 

Students of Yale in that olden time did not enjoy the long vacations 
that they do now. The long vacation of six weeks began on the third 
Wednesday of August, following the commencement. These exercises 
took place in the old Center church and lasted from 9 to 12 'clock in 
the morning and from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. 

PROTEST AGAINST RAILROAD. 

The only mail from New York came each day by stage and the rec- 
ollections of the days of stage coaches recalled to Dr. Atwater the see- 
ing of placards on conspicuous trees about the New Haven green urg- 
ing public-spirited citizens to attend a mass meeting to protest on ac- 
count of certain injury to the merchants and liverymen of New Haven 
if the proposed railroad between Hartford and New Haven should be 
built. The New Haven and Northampton canal was another means of 
transportation for freight and passengers. 

Brawls between "town and gown" were not infrequent. It was cus- 
tomary for the freshman class to choose the largest and strongest man 
in the class as its leader. He was given the title of "Bully," and his 
attendant, the smallest fellow, was chosen as his companion. 

For many years Dr. Atwater, in spite of his advanced age, was to be 
seen almost daily on long walks and in the reading room of the City 
Library, but later he was satisfied with walking about his house 
and grounds and still enjoyed reading, although at home. His facul- 
ties were remarkably well preserved, his mind was clear and he could 
both hear and see as well as a man of much younger years. He took 
an active interest in the current happenings and news of the day. For 
many years the doctor was a member and active worker of South Con- 
gregational Church and he was a constant attendant at the services. 

Dr. Atwater lived for some time in Atwater Road, near the estate 
of his brother, the late George M. Atwater, who owned the beautiful 
Rockrimmon estate in Brightwood near the Chicopee line, but later he 
moved to Maple street, where he had since lived. 

He left public bequests to the Northfield schools, $10,000; Springfield 
Home for Friendless Women and Children, for its endowment fund, the 
income only to be used for the objects of the corporation, $1,000; Amer- 
ican Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, $10,000; Congrega- 
tional Home Missionary Society, $10,000; Congregational Ministerial 
Aid Society, $5,000.

The Corinthian was a ninety-four ton gasolene schooner, carrying a 
crew of twelve men, including her captain, L. E. Atwater, and hailing 
from Eureka, Cal The disaster, which involved the loss of two mem- 
bers of the crew, occurred on June 11, 1906, the schooner having strand- 
ed at about 6 p. m. of that day on the western side of the peninsula 
separating Humboldt Bay from the ocean, two or three hundred yards 
off shore and three miles northward of the Humboldt Bay life saving 
station. 

Nine trips with the buoy brought in eight men without mishap, the 
buoy having been hauled in empty once through a misunderstanding of 
signals. Only the captain now remained on board. The darkness had 
since the arrival of the station crew become so great that objects on 
the ship could not be made out from the shore, and rescue operations 
had to be carried on altogether by signals. When the buoy came back 
empty it was again quickly sent out, but while the men on the beach 
stood waiting for the word to haul in the hawser parted and the whip- 



ATWATER HISTORY. 95 

line also came in, parted and without the tailblock. Four men were dis- 
patched for another shotline, a whiplinc and shots. While waiting for 
the extra material those who had remained abreast of the wreck cleared 
up the tangle of hawser, tackle and whiplinc under the keeper's direc- 
tion and made everything ready for sending out another line. The 
fourth shot carried the line across the vessel's springstay. After sev- 
eral attempts Captain Atwater got the tailblock aboard and secured it, 
and the breeches buoy was then hauled out without the hawser and 
with the traveller block detached. The captain got into the buoy and 
gave the ignal to pull away; but in crossing the rail he was swept out 
and thrown headlong into the surf. Luckily before the seas could wash 
him away from the vessel he swam around to the schooner 's bow and 
got hold of the bobstay, to which fortunate circumstance he doubtless 
owed his life. 

The keeper did not suspect that anything had gone wrong with Cap- 
tain Atwater until the buoy had been hauled in empty. As he had dis- 
tinctly heard the captain's signal he judged that he had placed himself 
in the buoy all right but that accident had befallen him after leaving 
ship. This meant that he was somewhere overboard. The buoy was 
sent out again, however, and McLean and Surfmen Hunt and Nickerson 
followed it on the heels of an outgoing wave. McLean was first to the 
schooner, and located Atwater by the sound of his voice. McLean 
quickly caught up a bight of the whipline that swept within reach and 
dextrously swung it to the man on the bobstay. The latter fastened 
the line around his arm and let go the bobstay, and McLean shouted to 
those on the beach to haul in. By this time the two surfmen had 
reached the spot where McLean stood, and all three of the rescuers, 
knowing that they could not retreat quick enough to escape an incom- 
ing sea laid hold of the line. They were none too soon. In another mo- 
ment a Avail of water ru.shed upon them, bore them down, buried them 
and with relentles force flung them shoreward. In the course of their 
journey they were ruthlcs.sly beaten against floating timbers and other 
wreckage wlych the sea had torn from the schooner, but through it all 
they clung desperately to the line, McLean and the surfmen in a bunch 
and Captain Atwater a few feet further along behind. When the call 
came to haul in the men on the beach bent to the work with a will, and 
soon the four men were pulled out of the water "like so many fish 
hooked through the gills," as Keeper Hennig expresses it in his report 
of the wreck.

posed by his friend, Bennett, the operator stationed at Lebanon, who 
asked him to come down and spend the Fourth with him. Upon tak- 
ing the train he found he had been tricked by the Confederate oper- 
ator, Ellsworth, connected with Morgan 's Guerillas, who had cut the 
wires and was talking in place of Bennett. The train my brother was 
on was wrecked and fired upon and he was taken prisoner. Upon the 
sudden appearance of some cavalry, however, who were on the lookout

ARTHUR ATWATER KENT. 



102 AT WATER HISTORY. 

848. Henry Harrison, son of Ambrose, m. April 27, 1863, Mary F., 
dau. of Hugh and Agnes Farmer MeCafferty, of New York, b. in Savan- 
nah, Ga., April 27, 1838. 

Mr. Atwater was born in Burlignton, Vt., on January 13, 1840, and 
his wife in . Savannah, Ga., at about the same time. When 
only one year old Mrs. Atwater 's parents removed to Cuba, where 
for years her father was engaged in copper mining. In 1854-55 Mr. At- 
water studied telegraphy. In 1856 he accepted a position with the 
Erie Railroad, just after the system of despatching trains by telegraph 
was first introduced by Chas. Minot, then the general superintendent 
of that road. In 1860 he moved to Brooklyn, where he met his wife, 
who had preceded him to the City of Churches by a few years. "How 
vividly do I recall," says Mr. Atwater, "the great torchlight proces- 
sions, the election of Abraham Lincoln, the 'rail splitter,' the firing on 
Fort Sumpter, the first call for 75,000 volunteers, and the leaving of 
the Fourteenth (Beeeher's Boys) for the front. My wife's brother 
was one of that number." 

Mr. and Mrs. Atwater were married on April 27, 1863, at the resi- 
dence of the bride's uncle, James Craig, in Spring Valley, N. Y. In 
the fall of that year, learning that the government was in great need 
of telegraphers, Atwater volunteered his services and was ordered to 
report forthwith at the War Department, where he was assigned to 
duty under Gen. Thos. T. Eckert, who afterwards became the head of 
the great Western Union Telegraph Company. Later he was trans- 
ferred to the Washington Navy Yard, which was then headquarters of 
the Potomac Flotilla. 

In speaking of these times Mr. Atwater says: "While stationed at the 
War Department my wife and I made the acquaintance of Congressman 
Meyer, who invited us to attend one of President Lincoln's levees. I 
had heard many reports about the plain looks and decidedly awkward ap- 
pearance of Mr. Lincoln and was, therefore, glad of this opportunity of 
meeting him and judging for myself. Upon entering the White House 
we were first presented by Congressman Meyer to Mrs. Lincoln and Gen. 
Sickles who received with her. Passing into another room we were then 
presented to the President himself, and I shall never forget my agreeable 
surprise when, in place of the awkward, uncouth man I had expected to 
see, we were cordially greeted and shaken hands with by a man of such 
pleasing, kindly face and courteous manner that he won our hearts at 
once. 

I did not see the President again until I was stationed at the Navy 
Yard a short time later, when one evening at about 9 or 10 o'clock as I 
was walking along the wharf, a carriage drove into the yard and sev- 
eral gentlemen got out. This was followed by another carriage from 
which I was surprised to see the President alight. They had come down 
at this unusual hour, when the Navy Yard was practically deserted, to 
demonstrate to the President the practicability of using rockets for sig- 
naling, which they were endeavoring to introduce. After several had 



ATWATER HISTORY. IO3 

been sent up showing different colored lights one burst in the air when 
half way up, a total failure. ' ' Well, ' ' remarked Mr. Lincoln in his droll 
way, ' ' That was small potatoes and few in a hill. ' ' How little I thought 
as he stood there that within a few months and within a few feet of 
where h? then stood I should behold the dead bodj' of his assassin laid 
out on a monitor, yet such was the case. 

When Lincoln was assassinated many telegrams (which later became a 
part of history) passed through Atwater's hands. Eegarding that ex- 
citing event, he goes on to say: "On the evening of April 14, 1865, I was 
in my quarters in the Navy Yard when, between ten and eleven 'clock, 
I was hurriedly called up by the War Department operator, who informed 
me that President Lincoln had just been shot in Ford's Theatre. I at 
once ran to give the news to Commodore Montgomery. His reply was: 
'I guess that's a mistake, for I have just come from uptown and heard 
nothing of it.' " , 

Things happened fast after that. Intense excitement prevailed through- 
out Washington, and telegrams were flashed in all directions. The fol- 
lowing are a few of those sent and received by me: 

War Dept., "Washington, D. C. 

April 14, 1865, 11:30 P. M. 
To Commander Parker, 

Potomac Flotilla. 

An attemnt has been made this P. M. to assassinate the President and 
Secretary of State. The parties may escape or attempt to escape down 
the Potomac. 

(Signed) J. H. TAYLOR. 

Chief of Staff. 

Navy Yard, Washington, D. C, 

April 14, 1865, 11:35 P. M. 
To S. Nickerson, Actg. Vol. Lieut. 

St. Inigoes, Md. 

Send the fastest vessel you have with the following message to Com- 
mander Parker. "An attempt has this evening been made to assassi- 
nate the President and Secretary Seward. The President was shot 
through the head and Secretary Seward had his throat cut in his own 
house. Both are in a very dangerous condition. No further particulars. 
There is great excitement here." 

(Signed) T. H. EASTMAN, 
Lieut. Com. V. S. Potomac Flotilla. 

About midnight I received the following from General Eckert: 
"Remain on duty all night unless permission is given to close." 

Later that night the following telegram was sent: 

April 15, 1865, 1 A. M. 
To Bpig. Gen. Barnes, 

Point Lookout, Md. 

Stop all vessels going down the river and hold up all persons on them 
until further orders. Hold all persons leaving Washington. 

(Signed) H. W. HALLECK, 

Maj. Gen., Chief of Staff. 



I04 ATWATER HISTORY. 

War Department, Washington, April 15, 1865. 
To Commodore Montgomery, 
Navy Yard. 

If the military authorities arrest the murderer of the President, and 
take him to the Yard, put him on a monitor and anchor her in the 
stream, with strong guard on vessel, wharf and in yard. Call on Com- 
mandant Marine Corps for guard. Ha-ve vessel immediately prepared 
ready to receive him any liour, day or night with necessary instructions. 
He will be heavily ironed and so guarded as to prevent escape or injury 
to himself. 

(Signed) GIDEON WELLES, 

Secy. Navy. 

Booth, after shooting the President, fled down the eastern shore of the 
Potomac, crossing the Anacostia bridge, but a short distance from my 
office, where he was met by Harold, his co-conspirator and guide. The 
road taken was that over which our wire ran to Point Lookout where we 
kept our rebel prisoners. Upon information telegraphed by our operator 
from Port Tobacco, picked men were sent down who traced the fugitives 
across the river to a barn near Port Royal, Va. The barn was set on 
fire and as Booth emerged he was shot. His body was brought up to the 
Navy Yard, laid out on a monitor where I saw it, as before mentioned. 

The particulars relating to the attempt to assassinate Wm. H. Seward, 
Secretary of State, are as follows: 

About April 6,- while riding in his carriage, his horse becoming fright- 
ened, ran away. He was thrown from the carriage and his arm and jaw 
bone were broken. To hold the jaw in place the surgeon had used wires 
extending down in front of his throat. 

At the hour when Booth was carrying out his part of the terrible trag- 
edy, Payne, one of the other conspirators (whose real name was Lewis 
Thornton Powell) appeared at the residence of Secretary Seward, and, 
rushing past the guard, flew up the stairs to the room where the Secretary 
lay ill and endeavored to cut his throat. The wires, however, holding the 
jaw, also protected his throat, which probably was the means of saving 
his life. Frederick Seward, the son, in attempting to arrest the flight of 
Payne, was dangerously, though not mortally, stabbed. Eushing past 
Miss Seward, Payne made his escape but was subsequently arrested, 
brought to the Navy Yard, and placed on the monitor (as directed by Sec- 
retary Welles in his telegram to Commodore Montgomery, quoted above), 
and later was executed with the other conspirators. 

At the close of the Civil War Mr. Atwater and his family returned to 
Brooklyn, where they now reside. Their two daughters, Florence I. and 
Edith R. (the latter married to a distant cousin, Lyman William Atwa- 
ter) live with them. 

On April 27, 1913, Mr. and Mrs. Atwater celebrated their golden wed- 
ding, at which time they were the recipients of a number of beautiful 
gifts from their many friends who were present, together with telegrams 
and letters of congratulation. Their oldest daughter, Charlotte (Mrs. 
F. H. Van Dyke) being unable to attend on account of illness, sent the 
following greeting: 



AT WATER HISTORY.

A GOLDEN WEDDING GREETING. A GOLDEN WEDDING GREETING. 



Dear Mamma — 

How I wish that we, 
In some mysterious way, 
Could look back fifty years and see 

You on your Wedding Day, 
Standing beside a beardless youth, 

(My father, did you say?) 
And dressed in gown of ample folds, 
I think 'twas silvery gray; 

And wide poke bonnet just to match 
With roses 'neath the brim. 

Which vied with blushes on your 
cheek 
Whene'er you looked at him. 

The cherry trees were all in bloom, 
The birds were singing, too, 

And life was opening wide its doors 
To Papa, dear, and you. 

Fifty years ago! You say 

It seems but yesterday. 
Yet here are grandsons most as old. 

As you were, on that day. 

O, may your lives continue long 

Upon their peaceful way, 
And may you live to bless our boys. 
Upon their wedding day. 

Lovingly, 

LOTTIE. 



My dearest Papa — 

Can you guess 
How much I long to be , 

On this our proudest, happiest day 

With Mamma, dear, and thee; 
To wish you both God's greatest gift. 
Continued life together. 
Through many happy years to come, — 
And joy and peace forever? 

But since I needs must stay at home. 

My little gift I'll send. 
And fondest love and greetings on 

Your Wedding Day extend. 

The cuff links are a symbol 

Of the golden years you've spent. 

Linked hand in hand with Mamma 
In sweetness and content. 

May they link your lives together 

Through many more such years. 
This is the Greeting I would send 
With three resounding cheers! ! ! 



Lovingly, 



LOTTIE.

The following is a clipping from an Atlanta newspaper: "The pat- 
riarch of Atlanta travelling salesmen would indeed be a proper desig- 
nation of H. L. Atwater, now eighty years old, with a record behind 
him of forty years on the road. Mr. Atwater was in active service not- 
withstanding his advanced age until about a year and a half ago when 
he received a fall which compelled his retirement. In addition to his 



ATWATER HISTORY. II3 

ripe old age and his long road service, he has the further distinction of 
being the first member of the United Commercial Travelers in the south. 
He Joined the order in Denver, Col., soon after it was established. He 
was, however, traveling from the south at the time. 

Mr. Atwater was also first president of the Southern Travelers' As- 
sociation, an assoQiation which the older Atlanta salesmen remember 
well. He is the proud possessor of a gold headed walking cane which 
was presented by the Atlanta branch. He was also the second presi- 
dent of the Post B, the Atlanta organization of the Travelers' Protec- 
tive association. 

* ' When I received my fall and was compelled to quit work, ' ' said 
Mr. Atwater, "I was traveling for the Parker Buggy Company of 
Franklin, N. C. At various times I have traveled for the Standard 
Wagon company, F. A. Ames & Co., and the Milburn Wagon company. 
I was head of the latter 's company branch at Atlanta for a number of 
years. For fifteen years I may say I sold in Atlanta more than 2,500 
vehicles a year. ' ' 

During the civil war Mr. Atwater was a manufacturer of ambulances, 
knapsacks, scabbards and other warlike equipment for the Confederate 
army at Columbus, Miss. 

"Though I was never in actual service," said Mr. Atwater, I was 
given the title of 'Captain' by General Forrest himself. I was shoeing 
horses for a regiment of cavalry once, when the men waiting for their 
steeds began to play pranks on my force of helpers, interfering with 
their work. I threatened to report them to the general but this did not 
cause them to desist. Finally I went to see General Forrest and he de- 
tailed twenty men and said, 'Captain Atwater, take these men and go 
back and put an end to the interference with your work; and at the 
head of the men I did as I was bid and the roistering ended immediately 
and the work of shoeing the horses proceeded thenceforth without in- 
terruption. ' '

b. Aug. 23, 1845. He was a traveling salesman, and lived in Ked Bank, 
N. J. He d. Aug. 1, 1918. 

Benjamin Leonard, only son of Dennis Hedges, was born on May 13th, 
1890, at Eed Bank. He was named "Benjamin Leonard" for his two 
grandfathers, the Eev. Benjamin Eyder of Syracuse, New York, and 
Leonard Atwater, of Westfield, Massachusetts. He graduated from the 
Eed Bank High School in 1910 and became a clerk in Fairbanks Stand- 
ard Scale Company, New York City. When President Wilson in the 
spring of 1916 ordered the National Guard to mobilize in order to pro 
tect the Mexican border, he was the first citizen of his home town to 
enlist. He had previously been a member of Troop B Cavalry. He 
was made a corporal in Troop B and, with the 1st Squadron, New Jer- 
sey Cavalry, was stationed at Douglas, Arizona. Troop B returned 
home from the border in October, 1916, and shortly after the United 
States declared war on Germany, was mustered into Federal Service, 
July 28, 1917. Corporal Atwater was unanimously elected Second Lieu- 
tenant of his company and two months later was promoted to the rank 
of First Lieutenant. During September the Jersey units were moved 
from Camp Edge to the National Cantonment, Camp McClellan, Annis- 
ton, Alabama. Troop B then lost its identity and became a part of the 
29th or Blue and Gray Division, 112th Heavy Field Artillery. 

Lieutenant Atwater was one of twenty-five especially selected officers 
sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in January, 1918, to receive training as 
aeroplane observers and out of this class was one of three to graduate. 
He was at Mincola, Garden City, Long Island, for two months and was 



ATWATER HISTORY. II5 

then sent to Selfridge Field, Michigan, to receive additional instruc- 
tion in aerial gunnery. In July, 1918, he crossed the seas to France. 
He is widely known in Eed Bank and vicinity as a keen sportsman and 
a daring athlete. He is fond of society and, besides various local clubs, 
he is a Mason, a member of the Aero Club of America, and one of the 
original organizers of the Air Service Institute of the United States. 



First Lieut. Benjamin L. Atwatcr, observer, 99th Aero Squadron — 
For extraordinary heroism in action near Landres-A-St. Georges, on Oct. 
5. He started on a photographic mission with Lieutenant Alexander, 
pilot, over the enemy's lines. Forced back by seven enemy pursuit 
planes, he determined to complete his mission, and recrossed the line eight 
minutes later. A large group of enemy pursuit machines again attacked 
his plane. Disregarding his wound, he operated his machine gun with 
such effect that the nearest of the enemy planes was put down out of 
control. Home address, Mrs. Ella C. Atwater, mother, 152 Maple ave- 
nue, Eed Bank, N. J.— N. Y. Times, Dec. 31, 1918. 



Frances Eliza, only daughter of Dennis Hedges, was born at Syracuse, 
New York, April 4, 1888. She was named for her two grandmothers, 
Frances Hedges Atwater, of Westfield, Massachusetts, and Eliza Cook 
Ryder, of Syracuse, New York. She received her education from the 
Eed Bank High School, the Trenton State Normal and Model Schools 
and the New York Public Library Training School, since when she has 
held positions of responsibility under circulation department of the 
New York Public Library, in the publicity and editorial departments 
of the Frederick A. Stokes Publishing Company and in the editorial 
department of the World Alliance for International Friendship, of which 
Dr. Sidney L. Gulick is secretary. Miss Atwater is responsible for all 
statistical research work and chart illustration embodied in Dr. Gulick 's 
latest publication, "American Democracy and Asiatic Citizenship," 
(Scribner, 1918). She is given editorial credit for this in the preface 
to the book. 

In April, 1918, Miss Atwater gave up her position as editorial assist- 
ane of the World Alliance to engage in active war-work. She served 
as secretary of the Eed Cross Motor Corps in Washington, D. C, for 
some time, but since her father's death (August 1, 1918) she has been 
living with her mother in Eed Bank.

RESIDENCE OF JAMES BILLINGS ATWATEE. 



955. James Billings, son of Leonard, m. May 1-1, 1885, Lucy Gould 
Collins. He graduated from the Westfield High School in 1875; re- 
ceived his A. B. degree in 1879 from Williams College, and in 1882, his 
M. D. degree from the Medical Department of the University of the 
City of New York. He is a member of the American Medical Associa- 
tion, Massachusetts Medical Society, a fellow of the American College 
of Surgeons, the surgeon for the New York Central road at Westfield, 
consulting physician and surgeon to Noble Hospital and Shurtletf Mis- 
sion, and for the period of the war with Germany, chairman of the Med- 
ical Advisory Board for district No. 6. State of Massachusetts. 

Dr. Atwater has practiced his profession in the town of Westfield, 
with the exception of the first three years since his graduation from 
Medical School, and is practicing at the present time. He is consid- 
ered one of the best known physicians and surgeons in the town and 
county and has filled many important positions of trust and responsi- 
bility during this period. In personal appearance he resembles his 
father, Leonard Atwater, with the exception that he is much taller — 
an Atwater characteristic. 

Dr. Atwater has taken a very active interest outside of his profession 
in the material interests of the town, particularly in that section of the 
town, in which he resides.

Christopher P. Yates, prominent in the Mohawk Valley during the Rev- 
olution). In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, 11th Regiment E. I. Vol- 
unteer Infantry and saw active service in Eastern Virginia. From 
1863 to 1871 he represented the American Wood Paper Co., of Provi- 
dence, R. I., at their Royersford, Pa., mill. In 1874 he removed to west- 
ern New York, living in Palmyra four years and Fairport eight years, 
and in 1886 settled in Batavia, Genesee county. In 1886 he became con- 
nected with the Johnston Harvester Co., of Batavia, N. Y., was elected 
trustee and treasurer in 1891, vice-president in 1898 and president in

Greene, dau. of Christopher A. and Sarah Ann Chase, b. Dec. 12, 1844. 
Abby Sophia Greene is a lineal descendant of Roger Williams of Rhode 
Island. By the death of his father when Richard was ten years old he was 
obliged to work for his support through school and college life. He 
graduated from Brown University in 1865, and was elected a trustee of 
his college in 1878. On leaving college he engaged in the glass manufac- 
turing business in New Jersey and continued there until 1890. In 1890 
he retired from the glass business and took his family to Germany where 
they lived three years. In 1892 Mr. Atwater was appointed secretary 
and director of the Semet-Solvay Co. of Syracuse, N. Y., and took an 
active part in the introduction of the By Product Coke Ovens in the 
United States. In 1893 he was a judge of glass products at the Colum- 
bian Exposition in Chicago. In 1900 he left the United States and be- 
came the European agent for a large American harvesting machine com- 
pany, and resided in Paris for six years. In 1904 he attended the meet- 
ing of the International Chemical Congress in Berlin, Germany, and wa$ 
elected an honorary vice-president. In 1906 he retired from business 
and settled on a large farm at Chadds Ford, Pa., on the site of the Battle 
of the Brandywine. 

Mr. Atwater has had for forty years a summer residence on the New 
Jersey coast at Sea Isle and has spent his summers there with his fam- 
ily and the families of his children when he was in this country. During 
the last twelve years he has served as mayor of the city for four years 
and as commodore of the Sea Isle Yacht Club for eight years. One of 
his sons and three of his grandsons are in the military, naval and avia- 
tion service in the European war. Mr. Atwater in a letter says: 

"We have now eighteen grandchildren living, and death has not 
touched the faTiiily since my daughter, Ethelwyn (Mrs. Dr. Cleveland)

died in 1900 at the birth of her second child, excepting an infant daugh- 
ter of my son, Max, born in Bolivia, S. A., at an altitude of 13,000 feet, 
and unable to sustain life there, died a few days later. 

"The 1917 volume speaks of me as residing in Paris. After six 
years there we ean:e back home and I retiied from active business and 
settled on a large dairy and fruit farm of oCO acres here at Chadds Ford 
with my son-in-law, Dr.- Cleveland, and my daughter, Sophia, who has 
brought up the children of my daughter Ethelwyn. 

' ' I was elected honorary vice-president of tlie International Society 
of Industrial Chemists at Berlin, Germany, in 1903 and Commodore of 
the Sea Isle (N. J.) Yacht-Motor Club in 1911. Mrs. Atwater and I are 
in fine health and unimpaired vigor and we are enjoying our life on a 
beautiful farm varied with summers at the seashore where we gather 
about us all of ovir children and grandchildren for as long as they can 
be with us. Our life is, and has been, a very happy one and I prize the 
inheritance of the high moral and physical strain of the Atwaters.

GOLDEN WEDDING INVITATION. 

"My son David is a surgeon with the U. S. Army in France. 
"My son Christopher Greene is serving the U. S. government as vol- 
untary expert in nitrogen fixation. 

"My grandson, Leigh Eichniond Brewer is wireless operator on a 
U. S. destroyer in European waters. 

"My grandson, Richard Mead, III., is a fl.ving lieutenant in the Brit- 
ish army. He won the Croix de Guerre in France at 16 years. 

"My grandson, Arthur H. Cleveland, Jr., is assistant engineer on a 
IT. S. transport and was a survivor when his ship was torpedoed and 
sunk in the Bay of Biscay." 

The fiftieth anniversary of their marriage was celebrated on the 29th 
of September, 1917. The form of the gifts was unusual. 

There was a general feeling among their relatives that the usual gold- 
en wedding gifts would be out of place in this tine of deep distress, and 
that the recipients themselves would be much better pleased if the re- 
membrances should take the form of aid to suffering France, where the 
Atwaters lived for some years and in whose fate they are deeply in- 
terested. 

The result was an unexpected success and at the close of the wedding 
breakfast, at which more than fifty guests were assembled, a tray was 
placed before the bride and a shower of gold pieces fell down upon it,

He was educated at Evanston University, Illinois, taking the minis- 
terial and medical courses, and specializing in chemistry. He was or- 
dained to the ministry of the Methodist church, and labored in that vo- 
cation for some years in the state of Indiana. 

Later, he became interested in scientific photography, and was the in- 
ventor of a dry plate. For many years he rendered capable service in 
the manufacture of photographic materials, for which work his scientific 
training made him specially well qualified. He was demonstrator for 
one of the leading firms in the country for a period of thirteen years, 
and was also in the service of the United States government, taking pho- 
tos of the clouds and other weather phenomena in different parts of the 
country. 

It was in June, 1879, that he married Miss Nellie Bailey of Allegan, 
Michigan. They had but one child, a son, who died, however, when only 
six months old, in the fall of 1894. 

For many years his wife was an invalid, and he traveled a good deal 
for her health. She died three years ago. 

He took a great deal of pleasure in an acquaintance which he formed 
with the family of General U. S. Grant, with whom he was related, 
Mr. Atwater's father and General Grant being second cousins. The 
deceased had visited a number of times in the Grant home, and cher- 
ished a deep respect for the noted general and his family.

L., b. Jan, 7, 1893, the blind editor. The following clipping tells his 
story: 

Ambition, courage, and a thirst for knowledge that have surmounted a 
handicap from birth are attributes of M. L. Atwater, the new editor of 
the Selma Enterprise. There have been three issues of the paper un- 
der the new editorship and each issue has brought forth much favorable 
comment in the community. It will come as a great surprise, however, 
to many people who have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Atwater 
to learn that the editor has accomplished his success in life despite the 
fact that he has been blind from birth. His success in life under such 
circumstances, therefore, makes an interesting story. Atwater was 
almost a year old, toddling around in his father's Indiana printing of- 
fice, where he played with the type, when it was definitely discovered 
that he had been totally deprived of sight from birth. It was evident, 
though, that he craved knowledge and as soon as he was of school age 
he went with other children to the grammar school, as this was the only 
.school available for him at that time. There he learned his lessons 
from hearing others recite, until about the third year, when he was 
obliged to give that up. He chanced to hear of Helen Keller, and di- 
rected inquiries to her about education for the blind. Through her as- 
sistance and encouragement he secured blind primers from the Perkins 
Institute of Boston, and commenced home study. Within three months 
he had completely mastered his books and began to call for advanced 
reading. Owing to the fact that his mother was an invalid the greater 
responsibility of teaching fell upon the father, and thus he was reared 
in a printing office. When the books for the blind had been exhausted 
he found pleasure in listening to newspapers, histories, and the works 
of authors, stowing all away with a wonderful retentive memory. Two 
years ago he assumed the editorship of the Signal at Atwater, but in 
keeping with his spirit of reaching, he and his father recently purchased 
the Enterprise of this city, which is showing strides under his editor- 
ship. He gathers his information from discussion and having others 
read to him, but assumes the full responsibilities of editorials which he 
writes on an ordinary typewriter in copy remarkably free from error. 
When not at the editorial desk he revels in music, or accounts of travel. 
He is very fond of anything pertaining to Egypt and the country of the 
Nile, and much interested in Eoman history. Por exercise, he keeps 
house, having gradually grown into that responsibility because of his 
mother's ill health, and has shouldered the entire responsibility since 
her death four years ago.

E. B. ATWATEE, AS I REMEMBER HIM. 

The first time I ever saw Judge E. B. Atwater was when I was a mere 
boy and he was a man long past life 's meridian. It was at the old 
Methodist Camp Ground, near the village of The Rock, in Upson county, 
Georgia, where that religious denomination held annual mid-summer re- 
vival meetings. Some itinerant preacher had delivered a conscience 
searching, soul stirring sermon. The religious emotions of the large con- 
gregation were stirred to their depths. Sinners were invited to come to 
the improvised altar for prayer, and they came in numbers. Judge At- 
water, or Uncle At, as he was familiarly and affectionately known, was 
requested to lead the prayer. I shall never forget the occasion. I wish 
I could remember the prayer. The tall, slightly stooped old man sank to 
his knees on the wheat straw with which the place was carpeted, tow- 
ering in this position full head and shoulders above the recumbent fig- 
ures about him, and prayed for his neighbors and his neighbors ' chil-

dren. The vibrant, resonant qualities of his voice carried every word 
not only back to the seats of the scornful in the rear of the large tab- 
ernacle, where I with other boys and girls, awed by the solemnity of the 
occasion, sat and watched and wondered, but to the little cottages round 
about where campers, too tired or too indifferent to attend the service, 
sat in easy chairs. As I remember it, he began his invocation as fol- 
lows: "0 thou all powerful, all wise, all merciful God, our Creator, our 
Preserver, our Redeemer, to whom be glory and dominion, now and for- 
ever." He then addressed Him as the Father to whom he came as a sup- 
pliant child, bearing in his heart the burden of the sins of erring friends, 
and prayed for their conversion. There may have been nothing strik- 
ing or unusual about the prayer, but it seemed to me that with it there 
settled over the place an atmosphere of tense religious awe; in the 
hearts of the hearers there was reverence. I heard him otfer public prayer 
on many occasions after that. But none of them made such an abiding 
impression on my mind. Hard hearts were touched and tendered there 
at that old camp meeting place; tears came unbidden to eyes which long 
had been dry and ploughed down hardened cheeks. The people were 
powerfully moved by the simple eloquence, the fervor and pathos of an 
old man 's prayer. 

I learned to know Judge Atwater afterwards well. He was an old 
man. I was a youthful lawyer. For some reason he took a fancy to 
me; retained me by the year to look after his various and complex bus- 
iness affairs; made my office his headquarters. 

It is not at all difficult for me to now visualize his form and features. 
Tall, raw boned, broad shouldered, slightly stooped on account of the 
weight of years, with furrowed face which in repose had somewhat the 
saddened expression of Lincoln, yet which could light up with the kindly 
humor which always sparkled in his eyes, he attracted attention in any 
crowd. He ahvaj^s carried a long cane and in the winter time wore a 
plaid shawl. He spurned the conventional cane and carried a veritable 
walking stick, which he used not only to assist him in walking, but as 
a means of attracting attention by pounding on the floor with it, or by 
prodding some one to whom he wished to address his remarks. He also, 
would have used it, and perhaps did on some occasions, as a weapon of 
offense, for he was of fiery temper, quick to resent an insult but ever 
ready to forgive. 

I think he was of Scotch-Irish descent. I know he had Irish blood in 
his veins for I have heard him boast of it. But whether it came from 
the paternal or the maternal side I do not know. He seemed to com- 
bine in his nature the frugality of the Scotch with the happy-go-lucky 
improvidence of the Irishman; the unfaltering integrity of a Scotch 
covenanter with the freedom from care and love of humor which char- 
acterize the children of Erin. He was a great raconteur, and could tell 
an Irish joke with the inimitable brogue of a son of the old sod. 



l62 ATWATER HISTORY. 

Born in the state of North Carolina at four o 'clock in the morning, he 
said that he always awakened at that hour. 

When a small boy on the North Carolina farm, his father on one oc- 
casion took him far out in the woods and when he reached a certain 
spot cut a hickory switch and threshed him soundly. When the boy 
asked him why he had punished him he was told that it was because the 
father's land cornered at that spot and he wanted to impress the i)lace 
on his memory. Said Judge Atwater, "I believe I could find that corner 
to-day, even though the forest was cleared and the land in cultivation. ' ' 

He was a lover of good horses and always kept one that could cover a 
mile in as quick time as any horse in the community. And his driving 
was like unto the driving of Jehu. He permitted no one to pass him on 
the road. If some one essayed to do so, the love of the sport of kings 
would kindle in the old man's eyes, he would gather the lines in his 
gauntleted hands, tighten the rein, cluck to his faithful horse, and the 
unlucky but ambitious driver who thought he would pass would be left 
far in the rear. The character of the road did not deter him, for he 
would go over ruts and gullies, hitting only the high places. Many 
times I have been in the buggy wdth him when I had to hold on with 
hands and feet in order not to be thrown out. But he was merciful to 
his beasts. They were fat and sleek, well fed and well cared for. 

By industry and frugality he acquired a competency. A splendid 
judge of human nature, he would sometimes take chances in business 
transactions because he thought the moral risk was good when the se- 
curity was inadequate. I think he was seldom deceived. Said he, "I 
haven 't read many books but have read a great many men. ' ' 

He was the halest, heartiest, holiest old man I ever knew. Although, 
as he said, he was living on borrowed time, having passed the three score 
years and ten allotted to man when I first knew him, yet his faculties 
were unimpaired and his strength not abated up to the time of his last 
illness. 

When I go to Thomaston, Georgia, as I occasionally do, I visit my old 
friend's gave in the little cemetery on the crest of the hill. He lies 
near where the old Methodist church stood — a place selected by him be- 
fore his death — where for long years he was a constant attendant and 
faithful worshiper. These pilgrimages do me good for they bring to 
mind the sterling worth and character of one of the knightliest of men, 
who by precept and example tried to impress on my youthful mind those 
lessons of human conduct which made his own life a success, and which 
I am sure brought their merited reward in that completer, fuller life he 
now enjoys.

ATWATER HISTORY. 187 

History of Francis Atwater No. 1585. 

(Son of Henry, No. 987.) 
(Copied from the Meriden (Conn.) Daily Kecord, May 29, 1913.) 

"Francis Atwater, founder and president of The Journal Publishing 
Co., and a prominent factor in Meriden 's business and political devel- 
opment for many years, has decided to retire from his various business 
interests as rapidly as he can and spend his remaining years in this coun- 
try and abroad. His health is good and he believes in conserving it by 
withdrawing from all business activities — which may take five years — 
and devoting the rest of his life as fancy dictates. 

"Mr. Atwater resigned this week from the presidency of The Journal 
Publishing Co. and as soon as he sells his beautiful residence at the cor- 
ner of Broad and East Main streets, he will leave for Washington, D. C. 
He expects to spend his time next winter in appealing to congress for 
a memorial for Clara Barton, the founder of the Eed Cross society, and 
also in securing from the national legislators belated recognition for his 
brother, the late Dorence Atwater, who compiled a complete and authen- 
tic list of the Union dead when a prisoner at Andersonville. After that 
Mr. and Mrs. Atwater will become globe trotters, spending most of their 
time in travel. 

"Mr. Atwater 's reported retirement caused much surprise to his fel- 
low-citizens. As his reasons for retiring have not been known, a Rec- 
ord reporter interviewed Mr. Atwater on the subject Wednesday af- 
ternoon. 

"What are your reasons for retiring?' Mr. Atwater was asked. 

MR. ATWATER 'S STATEMENT. 

" 'You must remember,' he replied, *I have been in active life since 
I was eleven and one-half years old, when I commenced work in the 
Meriden Literary Recorder office, under the late Luther G. Riggs and 
since then, forty-three years ago, I have been in the harness. 

" 'As I am now interested in many things of a public and private 
nature I believe I should commence to withdraw, fixing each upon a 
firm foundation while I have health and strength. 

" 'I have resigned from the presidency of The Journal Publishing 
Company of my own free will and have insisted that I shall be released 
from further service, and have sold to my associates my holdings on 
their own terms. I felt I could do this without injury to any one, as 
The Journal as a Meriden institution is in a prosperous condition and 
in the hands of those who have grown up in its service. Therefore, T 
feel my guiding hand is no longer needed.

Atvvater History.

FIVE YEAE8' TIME REQUIRED. 

" 'My connection with other Meriden enterprises will cease in rota- 
tion, as I can adjust my connection with each. My residence is for sale, 
and all of my other real estate. This will all take time. Yet this is 
only a commencement, for outside of Meriden I have become identified 
with many projects, several of which are more or less dependent on my 
resources to make them successful. Therefore, I feel if I carry out what 
is now resting on my shoulders five years will have passed by before 
my retirement is complete, and by that time I will practically be in Dr. 
Osier's class. 

" 'Life in Meriden to me has not been monotonous. I have enjoyed 
every day of it, and, in fact, have wherever fate has placed me. 

" 'I have been a factor, in my time, through The Journal, of advo- 
cating every good measure for the benefit of Meriden and have also had 
the satisfaction of as vigorously opposing in no uncertain terms what 
I believed was against the town's best interests. 

A LITTLE POLITICAL ADVICE. 

" 'In leaving Meriden I feel that I gave the best years of my life 
to its development and that in no small way were my efforts a success 
both from a business and a political standpoint. Now that I am a dis- 
interested party, my advice and hope is that the people of Meriden will 
wake up to the fact that politics in the administration of local affairs is 
a miserable farce, that they will wipe out the ward heeler, and adopt 
the commission form of government. ' 

A MOULDER OE PUBLIC OPINION. 

"As a newspaper publisher, Mr. Atwater's influence has been strongly 
felt in the community, but he has not restricted himself entirely to that 
particular line of activity. It has always been his ambition to be a 
pioneer in different things and he has generally satisfied that ambition. 
Like all public men he has had his enemies, but they have admired him 
for his fearlessness. Because he liked the combat he was often called 
upon to take up the cudgels for others. He has realized as does the 
average newspaperman that a newspaper must take sides on public ques- 
tions and it was seldom that he personally ever occupied a neutral po- 
sition. As a moulder of public opinion he is in a class by himself and 
when he withdraws from the community he wnll be missed chiefly on this 
account. 

SOME INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENTS. 

"Credit is given Mr. Atwater for accomplishing a number of big un- 
dertakings which have since contributed to the prosperity and progress 
of the city of Meriden. As the promoter and later the president of the 
Meriden-Southington-Lake Compounce Tramway Co., he did the public a

great service in extending the trolley lines from Crow Hollow to South- 
ington center, which opened up the surrounding countrj", brought bus- 
iness to Meriden and increased traffic. The railway was afterward sold 
to the Connecticut Light & Power Co. 

"When president of the Meriden Board of Trade, the Meriden Fire- 
arms Co. was brought to Meriden after a diligent canvass and the rais- 
ing of the required amount of money. The big industr}^ has been a 
considerable addition to Meriden 's manufacturing interests. 

MADE EXPEESS STOP. 

"Many citizens will remember that Meriden was nearly obliterated 
from the railroad map back in 1904. Mr. Atwater wrote a letter to the 
officials of the New Haven road threatening to appeal to the interstate 
commerce commission. The express trains that had been passing 
through Meriden without stopping were ordered to stop. 

' ' Mr. Atwater was one of the chief planners of the Meriden centennial 
celebration in 1906. The Century of Meriden and the history of the 
celebration were published by his concern. When a member of the 
state senate the same year he succeeded, in securing an appropriation of 
$90,000 for the new state armory, which was a boon to the militiamen 
of Meriden.

"Two years ago Mr. Atwater became especially interested in a move- 
ment to tear down the shacks in the business section and erect modern 
buildings. The formation of the Silver City Eealty Co. was the result. 
Mr. Atwater hopes to see the company 's new block on Colony street 
started before he leaves Meriden. The Journal Publishing Company's 
mechanical plant is in the first fireproof building erected in Meriden 
and the company's new office is in a fireproof building, taking the place 
of a historic shack. 

"The Puritan Trust Co., which was organized and started doing bank- 
ing business last year, was one of Mr. Atwater 's business undertakings. 
The Meriden, Middletown & Guilford Electric Ey. Co., started in 1909, 
and not yet completed, is also another. His financial interests in these 
corporations will conclude as soon as he can sell out. The same is true 
of the Washington State Colonization Co., of which he is the president. 

GENEEOUS TO INSTITUTIONS. 

"While Mr. Atwater has given liberally of his time and talents to 
the community in which he has reaped so much success, he has also given 
generously of his worldly goods to the public and charitable institutions 
of diversified character. He has been a loyal Meridenite and a real 
boomer.

192 ATWATER HISTORY, 

A STRONG POLITICAL FIGURE. 

"Mr. Atwater has found politics a congenial field for his surplus en- 
ergies as he has never had the time or inclination to be idle. He has not 
been a party man in the strict sense of the word, but the ends to be 
sought have engaged his attention and support chiefly. As a candidate 
on the Democratic ticket he was elected to the state senate in 1906. Out 
of fifteen bills he presented thirteen were passed. As chairman of the 
committee on woman suffrage he was often heard publicly approving the 
principle at that time and since. During his campaign for senator he 
inaugurated a style of campaigning which has been successfully copied. 
He made an automobile tour of the shops of the city, speaking to the 
workers at noon meetings and at night addressed the voters at various 
outdoor points about the district. 

COLLECTED THE MILITARY TAX. 

"He was town tax collector in 1907-8, and inaugurated the novelty of 
collecting the military tax instead of leaving it on the books. The 
collection of the military tax had been a dead issue in other Connecti- 
cut communities up to that time. His example encouraged other tax 
collectors about the state. Now it is not regarded as an impossible task 
to collect the tax. It was during his administration of this oflfiee that 
Mr. Atwater aroused a lot of antagonism and a Tax Dodgers' associa- 
tion was formed. The Democratic party refused to renominate him and 
he ran on an independent ticket at the next town election and was de- 
feated by Charles Dexter, Republican. 

CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. 

"Promising business reforms in the administration of city affairs, 
Mr. Atwater entered the contest for the mayoralty as an independent 
candidate in 1911. He waged a picturesque battle and was defeated. 

' ' During the controversy over the building of the new town hall, Mr. 
Atwater was one of the chief opponents of the auditorium plan of a 
building. During the erection of the building he had a court injunc- 
tion issued. 

MANY NEWSPAPER VENTURES. 

"Mr. Atwater has shown a lot of enterprise in the newspaper business 
not alone in Meriden but in other cities. Here is an enumeration of the 
papers he has been interested in: 

"Foreman at 16, Meriden Literary Recorder; founder and publisher of 
the Windemere Weekly Forum. Wallingford, 1879-80; assistant foreman, 
Hartford Courant, 1880; manager Red Bluff, (Cal.) Sentinel; founder 
and publisher of Meriden Sunday News; founded Meriden Daily Journel 
1886 and ever since president of The Journal Publishing Company; 
founded in 1898 Havana Journal, now (Havana Post) first ail-American 



AT WATER HISTORY. 193 

journal in Cuba; bought and sold the New Britain Daily News; bought 
and sold the Waterbury Daily Eepublican. 

"With writing as his profession it has been a cheerful task for him 
to write several books, one a history of Plymouth, his birthplace, and 
also a history of Kent which were published in 1896; and the Atwater 
history and genealogy in 1901. 

A WORKER FOR HUMANITY. 

"Mr. Atwater was associated for many years with Clara Barton, the 
founder of the American National Red Cross society. As a member of 
the executive committee of the society he labored for many months after 
the Spanish American war feeding and providing comforts for the thou- 
sands of sick and starving reconcentrados around Havana. He was 
elected president of the Clara Barton Memorial association in 1912, 
which has for its purpose the erection of a suitable memorial to this 
great heroine of the Civil, Franco-Prussian and Spanish wars at Wash- 
ington, D. C." 

SINCE RETIREMENT. 

After the above publication Mr. Atwater the following year sold his 
residence in Meriden. With Mrs. Atwater he toured Japan, Manilla and 
China, and would have made the trip around the world, but the world- 
wide war interfered. Upon his return he bought a residence in New 
Haven, Conn., where he has settled within half a mile of the location 
the first David selected in 1638. Subsequently he participated in the 
organization of the Broadway Bank and Trust Company and the Amer- 
ican Bank and Trust Company of New Haven, the East Hampton Bank 
and Trust Company, the Wallingford Trust Company and the Torring- 
ton Trust Company, and followed this work by compiling the Third Vol- 
ume of Atwater History, and erecting a large fireproof mercantile 
building in Meriden, Conn.

History of Dorence Atwater, No. 1581 

(Son of Henry, No. 987.) 

(Copied from The Meriden Daily Journal, Meriden, Conn., Monday, 
May 29, 1911.) 

Terryville, Conn., May 28. — The memorial service in commemoration 
of the late Dorence Atwater, a native of this village and the hero and 
martyr of Andersonville prison, was held here yesterday. The cere- 
monies were in charge of Rev. Spencer E. Evans and were very im- 
pressive. 

The attendance was large, Merriam post, G. A. R., from Meriden being 
represented nearly one hundred strong, the delegation including members 
and their wives, while others came from Bristol, Thomaston, Southing- 
ton, New" Britain, Hartford, Bridgeport and other places. The weather 
was ideal for the occasion. 

The first exercises were at the gun memorial erected two or three years 
ago, on which had been placed a new tablet. Lincoln's famous dedi- 
cation speech at Gettysburg was read by the principal of the High school, 
followed by the recital of Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem, "A Hero," by 
Rev. Mr. Evans. Then the tablet was unveiled by Mrs. W. B. Ells, 
widow of the late Major Ells, who had a most enviable war record. 

From the memorial the services were transferred to the Congregational 
church where the choir sang appropriate songs and prayers were offered 
by the pastor. It was expected that Clara Barton, the world's benefac- 
tress, would be present to make an address, but owing to illness, was 
prevented. She, however, sent remarks which were read by Mr. Evans, 
as follows: 

MISS BARTON'S LETTER. 

To the Citizens of Terryville, met to commemorate the services of Dor- 
ence Atwater: 
Friends, Citizens of Terryville and Comrades: 

While it is one of the regrets of my life that I cannot be with you to- 
day in person, it is yet one of its pleasures that I may, if only even 
with a few words from my pen, bear testimony to the worth of the oc- 
casion that calls you together. 

You are met to commemorate the services of one of your own, a lad 
born among you, a man of the world, and a soldier of his country. Sixty 
years ago he picked the pebbles and played his boyish pranks upon your 
streets, all unmindful of the destiny awaiting him. 

At sixteen the grim voice of war called him from you, to the service it 
had assigned him. And what was that service? The glories of the

combat? The pride and por. p of armies? Was he to bring back to 
you the trophies of the victor? Had he slain his hundred enemies? Cap- 
tured their cities? And amidst the shouts of victory, laid his laurels 
at your feet, and his grateful country roused by his valor? Was it 
standing with open arms to welcome back the hero of battle? 

Nay, nay, good friends. None of that. In place of these, he brought 
you a few crumpled sheets of paper, whereon with an arm skeletonized 
by hunger and the lack of every comfort or need of human life, but the 
breath that sustained it, he had traced and preserved the names and

last earthly record of 13,000 dead comrades left in strange and unknown 
graves. 

And for this, his country opened not its arms to receive him, but its 
prison doors and drew its bolts behind him. 

The hinges of fate may be rusty and slow but they are sure to turn. 
And to-day, friends and grateful citizens of Terryville, you crowd your 
streets, with the welcoming throng that lines them to bear testimony 



ATWATER HISTORY. 197 

to the greatness of his act, not alone the courage, but the philanthropy 
of the soldier. 

Citizens of Terryville, well may you meet to commemorate his deed, 
for he has written your name with his arm on the imperishable records 
of history, and linked together, Dorence Atwater, Terryville and An- 
dersonville, go hand in hand adown the historic ages. 

You have planted his enduring monument — the iron thwarted gun — 
beside the streets where he picked the pebbles, and in your hearts you 
fondly cherish his memory as through the tears you gaze on the draped 
flags, waving in his honor. 

Dorence Atwater is no longer with you. Your bright, prankish boy 
and faithful soldier lad has gone to his rest. 

He leaves to you the memory of a life of honor, and to the history 
of his country the inseparable linked names, Dorence Atwater, Terry- 
ville and Andersonville. 

CLAKA BAETON". 

Then was introduced ex-Stenator Francis Atwater, of Meriden, a broth- 
er of the martyr, who explained it was planned to have the Hon. Jo- 
seph Sheldon of New Haven and General E. H. Whittaker, of Washing- 
ton, D. C, make the principal addresses, but as the infirmities of old 
age prevented these two from being present, it had fallen to him to 
present his remarks, which were as follows: 

MR. ATWATER 'S ADDRESS. 
Comrades, Friends and Neighbors of My Childhood: 

If you should delve into the history of Plymouth and especially of 
this village in its early stages, you would find there was one family of 
sturdy qualities, among many others, who were pioneers in its establish- 
ment. I refer to Timothy Atwater, who settled here more than 100 years 
ago, and from whom all of that name in this part of the town descended. 
Timothy was a descendant of David Atwater, who came to this country 
in 1636, and was one of the original signers of the Planters' agreement 
of New Haven colony. David emigrated with his brother and sister 
from Lenham in the county of Kent, England, protesting against the 
persecutions which prevailed at that time against civil and religious lib- 
erty. It is claimed of all the counties in England, Kent was first in- 
habited, first civilized, first christianized and never conquered. Years 
later there came to Plymouth the family of Benjamin Fenn, whose an- 
cestor w^as another Benjamin, who was also an emigrant pioneer who be- 
came the first magistrate of New Haven colony. I mention these facts 
because they are pertinent and to show that a descendant of such fam- 
ilies is imbued with courage and valor. 

Descending from Timothy Atwater was a son Wyllys, a life-long resi- 
dent of this town, who in turn was the father of Henry who married

October 1, 1837, Catherine, daughter of Benjamin Fenn. They were 
honest. God-fearing people, who spent their lives here, and whose remains 
are interred in your cemetery. Their third child was Dorence, born 
February 3, 1845, the subject which brings this gathering together to-day 
to pay its last tributes and respects to his memory. It was here he spent 
his boyhood days, and had his strength permitted, just before his death 
he would have crossed the country to have gazed fondly and lovingly on 
the old village where he had spent so many happy years. 

Like most lads he was mischievous and full of boyish pranks, but at 
the same time was so manly in his ways that he was a favorite among 
both old and young. He was born on a farm in the northern part of 
the town where his early childhood was spent. Later he lived in what 
you are now pleased to call your hotel. From there he attended your 
public school where he acquired, besides other useful knowledge, a pen- 
manship that was individual and of such a character that it attracted

the attention of all who saw it. With him it was truly a mastered art. 
To it probably can be attributed the great service he was to render his 
country and also the hardships, privations and persecutions he was to 
endure. Then he became a clerk in the village store, where when he 
was not engaged in doing up groceries, he was plotting practical jokes 
to play on anyone who might happen along. Generally he escaped any 
serious chastisement, due to the fact that he kept out of sight until the 
consequences of his mischief had blown over. Not so on one occasion, 
it is told. He and his chum (who is now James Terry of Hartford) 
thought to have some fun with Shelton Smith, who at that time was the 
village fiddler. They called at Mr. Smith's house, rapped on the door, 
and when the gentleman appeared, asked if he would not play for them. 
He promptly acquiesced but not in the way that they anticipated. Mr. 
Smith told the boys to wait a minute, when he appeared with a long 
whip and before they could escape, had given their legs a good lacing. 



200 ATWATER HISTORY. 

While still a boy lie went to Branford, this state, to work in a gro- 
cery store. It was while there that Tort Sumter was fired upon and 
President Lincoln called for volunteer soldiers. Dorence tried to prevail 
upon his parents to give their consent to his enlisting at once but they 
were reluctant to do so. Jlowever, on August 1, 1861, he enlisted and 
joined the First squadron of cavalry, Connecticut volunteers, just six- 
teen and one-half years old. His country was in danger and in his 
young enthusiasm he believed it was his duty to help defend it. Per- 
haps he was justified in the lie he told when he stated to the recruiting 
officer he was eighteen years old, but being large of stature his word 
was not questioned. So he left for the war with tears streaming down 
his mother's face, but with her benediction. It was cruel destiny to her. 
She watched and prayed for his safe return, with only now and then a 
word that he was doing his duty and was well, but she was to be spared 
the terrible news that he had been captured and later taken to Ander- 
sonville, because she was stricken down and died in May, 1863. 

When Dorence left Connecticut he was transferred to the Harris Light 
Cavalry of New York. He participated in the hard campaigning and 
sharp battles that commanded experience and was captured near Boons- 
boro, Md., while carrying dispatches from General E. H. Whittaker, still 
living in Washington, D. C, to General Kilpatrick. The cavalry was in 
the rear of the rebel army that was defeated at Gettysburg, and it was 
doing its best to prevent Lee's escape across the Potomac river. The 
dispatch may have been a hasty pencil note or possibly an oral message 
giving information of the enemy's movements. General Whittaker 's 
troops were not properly supplied by Gen. Meade and twice were in great 
danger of destruction by the enemy who was all around them. Knowing 
that his errand was a perilous one, Dorence never faltered but started 
across the rebel's country hoping to escape capture, but when surrounded 
was obliged to submit to be taken a prisoner of war. 

He was marched off to Belle Isle, and through the intervention of a 
friend he was transferred to Kichmond where he was forced to walk 
barefooted and only covered with trousers and shirt across the icity on a 
bleak December day. There he was put in charge of supplies sent from 
the north to be distributed to Fi^deral prisorers. He found one of the 
Confederate officers purloining the goods and was instrumental in get- 
ting him discharged. The new prison at Andersonville, Ga., had just 
been opened. Four hundred prisoners were being taken each day from 
Belle Isle to that prison. They were brought through Richmond. If 
the full quota for any reason did not number 400 when it reached the 
city enough more were added to supply the full allotment. Thus Dor- 
ence found himself one night unceremoniously routed out to be taken 
to this, the most loathsome of all the rebel prisons, where he was to 
spend months in sickness and starvation, yet not in idleness entirely. 

It was here his wonderful and individual penmanship in some man- 
ner became known to General Wirz, the prison keeper. He was invited

to keep the register of deaths of his fellow prisoners, being informed 
that when the Avar was over the list would be exchanged with the Union 
government. He undertook the work and was allowed outside of the 
stockade during the night. His desk was next to that of Wirz. From 
the way things were conducted generally Dorence conceived the idea 
that the death register would never be preserved, and so he quietly and 
secretly copied it, keeping the roll always in his coat lining. It was a 
dangerous undertaking for had the rebels suspected it no doubt his ca- 
reer would have been summarily ended, for life was very cheap there 
and had but little chance at best. However, he presevered and by his 
forethought are preserved to the nation the names of 13,000 soldier dead, 
who perished in Andersonville. 

Then comes the story of his trouble with the government, which had 
learned of his great work. At the close of his release from Anderson- 
ville, he had served twenty-two months since his capture. He came 
here to Terryville a skeleton of his former self. He was taken down 
with diphtheria, and lay at the point of death, but finally rallied, and 
before he had fully recuperated, had been summoned to Washington. 
His precious rolls were demanded for government use, and while he was 
anxious to publish them for the benefit of relatives and friends of the 
Andersonville victims, under threats of confiscation he consented his 
ilames should be copied. He then enlisted in the general service, U. S. 
A., and was detailed as a clerk in one of the departments at Washington. 



202 



ATWATER HISTORY. 



The government had copied his rolls, but refused to return them. In 
July, 1865, he informed Secretary Stanton he could identify all of the 
graves at Andersonville if the work were undertaken immediately. The 
secretary of war ordered the work performed, and detailed Captain 
Moore and forty others, including Dorence, to go to Andersonville at 
once. Included in the party was Clara Barton, one of the world's great- 
est benefactors. The original rolls were also taken. Headboards were 
erected to the 13,000 martyrs, and the party returned. Shortly after 
the rolls were missed. No one knew where they were, until Dorence was 
questioned, when he promptly answered he had taken his property where 
he could find it, which he said the law allowed a man to do. He was 
told he could have twenty-four hours to return his rolls, but he said he

AND Dorence Atwater, 1865. 



ATWATER HISTORY. 203 

was determined to keep them. He was then and there arrested, placed 
in the old capitol in prison; was tried by court martial and adjudged 
guilty, whereupon he was sent to Auburn state prison to serve at hard 
labor for eighteen months, fined $300, and to stand committed imtil the 
rolls were returned. He possessed the old Kentish spirit of never being 
conquered. In irons he was taken from Washington to Auburn, where 
he served for two months, when he was discharged without the for- 
mality of a pardon. 

This came about because Secretary Stanton feared General B. F. 
Butler was about to start an investigation which was demanded by 
newspapers all over the country, the most persistent of which was the 
New York Tribune. Upon the release of Dorence his rolls were taken 
from their hiding place, put in alphabetical order, and 25,000 copies 
printed by the Tribune association, and placed on the book stands over 
the country before the government knew what was being done. 

He was now in his twenty-first year, broken down in health, a vic- 
tim of both the South and the North, and although he had been cruelly 
and unjustly punished so far as the government was concerned he was 
simply a discharged convict, released without the grace of a pardon. 
The government recognized this in a slight way by giving him a con- 
sulship in the far-off Seychelles Islands, and later transferred him to 
the far-off Society Islands in the South Pacific, where he served faith- 
fully for twenty-six years. A few years ago the court martial was set 
aside by Congress, and he was given back the good name that should 
never have been taken away, but so far as compensation goes, he never 
was given anything in recognition of his great service, nor was he even 
allowed a pension. 

The latter part of last September I had just returned from a trip 
across the country to the Pacific northwest, when I received a telegram 
from Dorence to come to San Francisco at once if I wished to see him 
alive. While I did not feel like making a second trip so quickly I 
reached my destination five days later. We had a splendid visit, so 
full of brotherly love and reminiscences. He was up and around and I 
had hoped he was needlessly alarmed, and so I returned. He continued 
to write every few days, but his weakness could be noticed as each let- 
ter the writing became more and more illegible, until the last which 
arrived the day he died, which was scarcely traceable. 

The town may well be proud of its war heroes. There were many 
from here who gave up their lives on the battlefield, many who were 
maimed and injured under fire, and many whose health was impaired 
by exposure and hardship. Probably all of these have gone to their 
final reward, but some of the old guard is left, and while their lives were 
not sacrificed they, nevertheless, belong to the noble roll of honor, which 
sacrificed its youth and strength in preserving the nation. 

Dorence Atwater is singled out because his career was different from 
that cf the lot of the ordinary soldier. He was a patriot and martyr.

ATWATER HISTORY. 



He, in his endeavor to preserve and give the information to relatives 
and friends of the Andersonville dead, undertook one of the most com- 
mendable of deeds, and while he did not look for or expect to receive 
any reward, had a right to believe his course should receive the sanc- 
tion of the government, but instead to be brutally incarcerated at hard 
labor in state's prison, was beyond his youthful comprehension. Do 
you wonder, years later, in one of his letters he should remark, "the 
word soldier makes me mad, while the sight of a uniform makes me

froth at the mouth." His self-imposed task, however, is appreciated by 
those whose loved ones rest at Andersonville, for they at least have the 
satisfaction of knowing the fate that befell them, that their graves have 
been preserved and identified, and in personal letters Dorence was given 
the thanks of those who valued his information. In all the intervening 
years he went on with his life work, uncomplaining, extending the good 
hand of fellowship, and when death came at the end of one day toward 
the last of November, he went to sleep with a smile, just as forgiving 
as when he said his prayers at his mother's knee. He is dead, but we 
shall perpetuate his memory in this village just as long as the granite 
and copper which composes his memoripl shall endure.

Respess. - He lived at Thomaston, Ga. He d. Dec. 21, 1913. The Thom- 
aston Times in its obituary notice said: 

The deceased was eight-seven years of age, and is survived by his wife, 
Mrs. Antoinette Respess Atwater; one son, Capt. James R. Atwater, and 
six daughters, Mrs. J. Henry Smith, of Gritfin; Mrs. Fred Farris, of At 
lanta; Mrs. George R. Turpin, of Macon; Mrs. William P. Leonard, of 
Talbotton; Mrs. Roland W. Spain, of New York city, and Mrs. A. J. King, 
of Macon. 

Besides being one of the oldest and wealthiest of Thomaston citizens, 
he was one of the most prominent, influential and highly esteemed. Not 
only did he stand high in the affections of his home people but wher- 
ever he was known men respected and loved him. A citizen of another 
city who is one of the most prominent men in the state and who was a 
business associate of Captain Atwater 's said of him: "Few men have 
lived to better purpose, or have had higher regard of their friends and 
acquaintances than Mr. Atwater." 

Captain Atwater was a man of strong convictions and once he took 
a stand in a matter he was almost unshakable. It is said of him that 
above all things he despised a hypocrite and hated all manner of shams. 
He was also a man who loved his friends and would stop at nothing to 
aid them. There are many who owe their business .success to his as- 
sistance and counsel. 



ATWATER HISTORY. 233 

Captain Atwater served through the civil war with distinction. He 
was noted for his bravery in battle and his efficiency in military tactics, 
being made captain of five different companies to perfect their organ- 
ization. Many of his comrades who are still living gratefully bear tes- 
timony to his valorous record. 

After the conflict ended he was active in the politics of Upson county, 
serving as county commissioner for twelve years, during which terms of 
service he was one of the first men in the state to refuse a permit for a 
cross road saloon. 

Captain Atwater was also one of the founders of the R. E. Lee Insti- 
tute of Thomaston, and for twenty-three years acted as chairman for the 
board of trustees for that well known institution. 

For years Captain Atwater was a leader in every movement looking 
to the upbuilding and betterment of his town and county.

ATWATER HISTORY. 




MKS. MAETHA V. JENKINS, No. 1962. 



ATWATER HISTORY. 237 

must do something in a worth while way, as she walked along life's 
road. When, without any effort on her part, she was elected as first 
matron of the Methodist Orphanage at Ealeigh, N. C, she accepted, be- 
lieving that her opportunity had come. Later, when she gave her hand 
in marriage to Rev. J. W. Jenkins, founder and superintendent of the 
orphanage, she knew that this was her life work, and together they 
worked with unceasing labor until, from a feeble beginning, the orphan- 
age had grown into proportions that promised perpetuity. Then Mr. 
Jenkins laid down his beautiful life, and bound more closely than ever 
to the product of their united efforts, she has mothered the little orphan 
children who have been denied the love and care of fathers and mothers, 
and brought to them the light and joy of real home life. 

Slight, small, frail in body, but great in soul, Mattie Atwater Jenkins 
has given her whole life for the happiness of others. With a sympa- 
thetic mind, a hand skilled in helpfulness, a heart that loves widely, an 
unusual measure of ability in managing and controlling, she has shared 
the hopes and heartaches of hundreds of boys and girls who delight to 
call her mother, and in whose lives "Miss Mattie" is a beacon light.

2434. Colonel James R., son of James W., banker, manufacturer and 
state senator, was b. Aug. 16, 1872, in Thomaston, Georgia. In child- 
hood and youth, Colonel Atwater 's tastes led him to the study of lit- 
erature, and especially history. He was never very strong physically, 
but was more inclined to remain indoors and read than to run out and 
romp with the other boys. He was a good student. At R. E. Lee In- 
stitute, Thomaston, where he graduated in 1890, he finished at the head 
of his class. Observing the restless and brilliant genius of his son, the 
father set himself to the task of training it in the right channels. He 
gave him small tasks to perform, partly to teach him the love of work 
and partly to keep him out of mischief. He took him into his private 
banking room and taught him the banking business. The son was ac- 
tive, intelligent and ambitious. It was natural for him to work. In 
fact, he could do almost anything he tried, except remain idle. There 
are many such men in the world — the restless, pushing kind. They are 
the ones who accomplish things, who "bring things to pass." 

The banking business did not occupy all of Colonel Atwater 's time. 
He took some part in social matters. He joined the Upson Guards, 
Company H, Second Infantry, National Guard of Georgia; was pro- 
moted to the rank of Captain, and held the position for ten years. Gov- 
ernor Terrell appointed him Assistant Quartermaster-General of the 
state, with the rank of Major. In 1907 he was promoted to Lieutenant- 
Colonel as an aide on the staif of Governor Hoke Smith; then after serv- 
ing on the staff of Governor Brown, is now a retired military officer 
with rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He has been Mayor of Thomaston for

nearly twelve years. For several years he served as a member of the 
Board of Education of Upson County. He is also Past Master of the 
Jocal lodge of Masons, is a Shriner, and Past Chancellor Commander of 
the local lodge of the Woodmen of the World. 

Colonel Atwater is a Democrat and has always taken an interest in 
politics. He was Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of 
his county for ten years. At the present time he is Chairman of the 
Democratic Executive Committee of the Sixth Congressional District. 
At the last election he was chosen to represent his county in the State 
Senate. Though still a young man, he has already been prominently 
spoken of as a desirable man to represent his district in the national 
House of Eepresentatives. Certainly, it is fair to assume that one who 
has displayed such skill in the making and holding of friends, and such 
sound judgment and executive ability in the transaction of public bus- 
ii;ess, cannot but have brilliant prospects before him. 

But it is in the business world that Colonel Atwater 's talents have 
found their most natural element. From banking he branched out into 
the manufacturing business. He chose those occupations because he 
liked them best and because they promised the most remunerative re- 
turns. The following are a few of the positions he has held: President 
Thomaston Cotton Mills (1901), and the Odessa Bank of Odessadale; 
Vice president Upson County Oil Mills, the Thomaston Cotton Mills 
(since 1901), and the Upson Banking and Trust Company, which he 
founded in 1900. 

Colonel Atwater is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
South. He still finds time to do considerable reading. He says that he 
has derived some benefit from everything he ever read. His favorite 
recreation is walking alone in the woods. Asked as to his idea of the 
best w^ay to succeed in life, Colonel Atwater said: "My idea is to study 
well your chosen profession or other work, and know it well and stick 
to it with your might. Observe good moral habits and be sober in all 
things. ' ' 

The people of Upson county, where Colonel Atwater resides, have been 
kind to him in many ways. The 1610th Militia District of this county 
bears his name — "Atwater District" — in which is situated the Town- 
ship of Atwater, and where the Atwater High School is located. This 
school is endowed by him, and each year receives liberal aid from his 
purse. 

On February 14th, 1917, he was married to Miss Annie Elizabeth 
Walton, the second daughter of Peter Wyche and Susan Eeid Walton of 
Madison, Georgia. His wife comes from a long line of distinguished 
people, who are direct descendants of George Walton, signer of the 
Declaration of Independence. 

On account of failure of health, he was forced to retire from active 
business upon advice of physicians, and resigned his official connection 
with all his business enterprises, except the Thomaston Cotton Mills of 



ATWATER HISTORY. 259 

Thomaston, Georgia, where he is still an active member of the Execu 
tive Committee of the Board of Directors. He is a large stockholder in 
this industry, and has watched it grow from a small five thousand to a 
sixty thousand spindle mill, with assets now around three million dollars. 

After the death of his parents, upon him devolved the closing of their 
extensive financial interests. The personal property was promptly di- 
vided out among the heirs; and the large real estate holdings, by agree- 
ment, now rests for twent}' years in the "Atwater Estates, Incorpo- 
rated," of which he is president. 

While having fully regained his health and strength, and possessing 
enough worldly goods to make further gain unnecessary Colonel At- 
water and his wife have realized that the accumulation of money and 
means, is, after all, not the thing most to be sought in this life, and are 
devoting their remaining years to the uplift and benefit of their fellow 
man — scattering sunshine and sympathy in the paths of the despondent, 
giving material aid to the needy wherever they may be found, passing 
the winter months in the balmy climate of Florida and the summers in 
the mountains of the Carolinas. 

They reside at their beautiful home at Thomaston, loved, honored and 
respected.

LETTERS OF INTEREST TO THE FAMILY.

Vancouver, B. C, April 23, 1918. 
Francis Atwater, Esq., 
41 Dwight Street, 

New Haven, Conn. ^ 

Dear Sir: — 

I regret I am unable to give you very much information regarding my 
family connections. I was born at Northfleet in the county of Kent, 
England, in 1866. My father was a native of Gravesend, Kent, and he 
was drowned at sea when I was about three and a half years. My 
mother's name was Caroline Hills and after my father's death my moth- 
er, sister, and I lived with her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Hills, 
and lost touch to a great extent with the Attwater side of the family. 
I have one sister married to Mr. Ernest Lackford of Gravesend, and they 
have one daughter, Ethel. I can only just remember seeing Grandfather 
and Grandmother Attwater when I was a tiny child, and believe they 
both died shortly after. There is not much doubt the family originated 
in the hamlet of Lenham, Kent, and that we are direct descendants. I 
lived for many years in Canterbuty, Kent, and while there was visited 
by a Mr. Lyman Baggs, U. S. A., who claimed to belong to the family 
through his mother. I am married and have one daughter, Winifred, 
aged 20, and two sons, Eonald, 17, and Norman, 16, all living with me 
at the above address. We left the old country in 1911. 

I am sorry I cannot furnish you with more definite information, but 
trust this will be of interest to you. 

Yours sincerely, 

WM. ATTWATER.

Mr. Francis Atwater,

Dear Sir: — 

Answering your several communications relative to the Atwater Fam- 
ily History, and in reply to same will say that I have not the reliable 



ATWATER HISTORY. 265 

data at hand. All I know is that I am the son of Wesley D. Atwater, who 
is still living in Cool, California. A letter addressed to my brother, A. 
B. Atwater, at the same address will likely procure the information you 
desire as they have all the family history there. 

Truly yours, 

IIAERY P. ATWATER.

Feb. 18th, 1918. 
Francis Atwater, 

New Haven, Conn. 

Dear Sir: 

Replying to your letter of inquiry dated 11th inst, permit me to say 
that I have been away from my birthplace in New Brunswick, Canada, 
for 33 years, and have forgotten dates. 

My father was born in 1809 in the county of Kent, England. 

My mother was born in 1827, in Peel, New Brunswick, Canada. 

There were 13 children — 6 of them still born. 

Perhaps if you wrote my sister, Mrs. Thos. McC'ray at Peel Carlton 
Co., New Brunswick, Canada, she might give you the desired information. 

Very truly yours, 

A. B. ATWATER. 



March 26, 1918. 
Francis Atwater, 

New Haven, Conn. 

Dear Sir: — 

We have not received any other request for information about our 
branch of the Atwater family. Nothing but one which came last week, 
forwarded to us from our home at Helena, Montana. 

I regret that I can give you very little authentic information. My 
husband — Alvord Benjamin Atwater, was born at Peel, Carleton Co., 
N. B. His father, also Benjamin Atwater, came with his father and a 
brother from Co. Kent, England. The brother, I believe, returned to 
England. The father died and the son, Benjamin, married and had a 
large family. My husband came to Montana about thirty years ago. We 
were married Oct. 24, 1884, and have one child, born Ort. 3, 1901. 

Alvord Benjamin Atwater m. Mary Babcoek Moore, M. D. 
Dorothy Babcoek Atwater. 



266 AT WATER HISTORY. 

I will refer you to Mr. A. B. Atwater, Great Falls, Mont., who can at 
least tell you of his immediate family though I think he knows very little 
more than I have written you of his grandfather. 

Mrs. Tom iMcCrae of Peel, Carleton Co., X. B., could tell you more 
perhaps. She is a younger sister of Mr. Atwater and has always lived 
at Peel. 

Am sorry not to be able to help you write your book, but I only know 
one Atwater. 

Yours very truly, 

MARY BABCOCK ATWATER, 

Iowa City, Iowa. 



Houston, Texas, May 7th, 1918. 



Mr. Francis Atwater, 
41 Dwight St., 

New Haven, Conn. 



Dear Sir: 

A long absence has prevented my answering j^our requests for infor- 
mation in regard to the "Atwater Family." 

In reply will say that I come from the Attwaters of Wiltshire (County 
Wilts) in the south of England, who always spelt their names Attwater 
instead of Atwater. The family was a prominent one in Wiltshire and 
Gloucester many years ago and owned farms near the villages of Britford 
and Bodenham. In the old Britford village grave yard there were many 
very old tombstones upon which the names could be deeipherd. 

I left England in 1873, went to Canada and from there to Texas. Since 
then my mother and father have died, also my brother and sister, who 
were unmarried. I expect there are some cousins still living in that part 
of England but have not heard from any Attwaters in England for many 
years. I know of no relations residing in the United States or Canada. 



Yours very truly, 



H. P. ATTWATER.

Dear Sir — I am writing you this letter to ask you if you are any re- 
lation to me. I am an orphan. I have found all the names of Atwaters 



ATWATER HISTORY. 20/ 

I could find. Lewis Atwater was my father, and Mary was mj' mother. 
The records in the State House indicate that they were married in Bos- 
ton December 15, 1889, and I was born to them Dec. 27, 1891, and went 
under the state's care Feb. 3. 1892, but as I am eighteen years of age 
now I am looking for them in the utmost. 

The state records also state that my mother was born in England and 
my father was born in Maine. 

Yours respectfully, 

ALFEED A. ATWATEE, 
273 Second St., Pittsfield, Mass. 



307 Elm St., Shenandoah, Iowa. 



Mr. Francis Atwater, 
Meriden, Conn. 



Dear Sir: 

Will you please allow me to inquire of you regarding a point in 
Atwater genealogy? 

I have here a dear friend, a Mrs. Eliza Marks Farnham, eighty- 
three years of age, who is the daughter of a Sarah Atwater, of New 
Haven, Conn. For years I have heard Mrs. Farnham speak of her 
mother and of her desire to visit New Haven and learn of her 
mother's people. Not long ago I saw a notice of an Atwater His- 
tory and when Mrs. Farnham was told of the book she immediately 
gladly purchased it. But it does not seem sure that her mother's 
name is in the book. If you could learn whether it should be 
there, or inform me of any way in which 1 might learn about it, I 
should be most glad, for it would give the greatest pleasure to a re- 
markably bright and sweet lady. 

Sarah Atwater, mother of Mrs. Farnham, died in May, 18 6 3, aged 
76 years, nearly 77 years, hence she was almost surely born in 
1786. She married first a George Todd, by whom she had a son, 
her oldest child, Benjamin Todd, and four daughters, Sarah, Anna, 
Lucy and Amelia. Mrs. Farnham has always understood that her 
mother was born, raised and first married in New Haven, Conn., 
and that pobably her eldest child was born there. But about that 
time the family must have moved to New York state, for the four 
daughters were born in Homer, New York. Of these four daugh- 
ters, Sarah, married a Mr. Watkins, Co. Treas. of Grundy Co., 111.; 
Anna married a Mr. Buckley, whose brother's life-sized portrait is 
in Memorial Hall, Akron, Ohio; Lucy married Seymour Stevens and 
lived in Seneca Co., New York; and Amelia married Daniel Farn- 
ham, in 1843. 



268 ATWATER HISTORY. 

After the birth of these five children Sarah Atwater Todd's hus- 
band died and she married second, Rev. David Marks (who had 
been married before) and had four children by him, all born in Sen- 
eca Co., New York. Eliza was the oldest, born in 1824; Mary, 
Cynthia, and Daniel. Mary married Addison Lyon, first cousin of 
Dio Lewis; Cynthia married a man whose parents lived in New 
York City. Daniel went to California and then to Australia. 

Eliza married Willard T. Farnham, brother to Amelia Todd's 
husband, May 17, 1850, in 111. She knows much less about her 
family because of this circumstance; her half brother, David 
Marks, like his father and two uncles was a minister. Before 
Eliza, Mrs. Farnham, was thirteen years old, he persuaded her pa- 
rents to let her go home to Rochester, N. Y., with him to be edu- 
cated for a missionary to India. They were well acquainted with, 
and frequentlj' received letters from the Judson family telling of 
(he great work needed. From Rochester, Rev. David Marks, Jr., 
decided to go to Oberlin, Ohio, to study further, and his sister 
went with him and was an Oberlin College student. 

The brother died in Oberlin and this broke up the family, but 
the sister went to teaching in New York, Ohio and Illinois, with 
some study at Chicago Academy, principal, Mrs. Barnwell, sister of 
the Burritt brothers, Elihu, the learned blacksmith, and the au- 
thor of an astronomy. 

But I beg your pardon for this big account, written to a geneal- 
ogist, rather than to a very busy person of other affairs. Mrs. 
Farnham is a very interesting person, as a little autobiography of 
hers shows. 

Of the brother and sisters of Sarah Atwater Todd Marks, Mrs. 
Farnham understands that there were two or three sisters, Mary 
or Folly the name of one of them, and only one brother, Aman (or 
Anan) by name. Some of this fits in with your record on page 180 
of your Atwater History of the children of David, son of Jonathan. 
There is no Mary or Polly given and the residence was Bethany in- 
stead of New Haven. But Bethany is in New Haven Co., and not 
very far from the city of New Haven. 

I do beg your pardon for this very long, unnecessarily long let- 
ter, but I do so hope that the right place of Sarah Atwater Todd 
Marks can be positively located in the Atwater History. 

Respectfully yours, 

(Miss) ALICE PRIEST.
