to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

INTRODUCTORY. 


Ue  who  can  pursue  a  subject  so  deep,  profound  and 
important,  with  so  many  avenues  for  thought  and  study 
opening  up  in  so  many  diverse  directions  as  that  of  Gen- 
ealogy without  gathering  some  thoughts  from  it  that  will 
germinate  and  yield  good  fruit  for  future  generations  is 
unworthy  the  name  borne  by  this  Genealogy.  The  gen- 
ealogist stands,  as  no  other  can,  upon  the  summit  of  time 
and  looks  down  the  generations  past  for  hundreds  of 
years.  He  can,  like  no  other,  study  the  influence  of 
circumstances  and  society  upon  the  different  lines  for 
many  generations. 

It  is  difficult  to  calculate  the  amount  of  greatness  one 
may  possess  by  inheritance.  The  mantle  of  the  illustri- 
ous does  not  always  fall  upon  the  son,  nor  does  the  son 
always  inherit  his  fitther's  low  estate,  or  meanness.  Kep- 
ler, tiie  great  astronomical  calculator,  whose  mother  could 
neither  read  or  write,  and  whose  father  was  keeper  of  a 
low  dirty  inn,  immortalized  his  name  without  ancestral 
greatness.  "Some  are  bom  gi'eat,  some  achieve  great- 
ness and  some  have  greatness  thrust  upon  them,"  while 
some,  bom  with  the  elements  of  greatness,  die  before  the 
opportunity  arrives  for  its  development.  Well  has  Gray 
said  of  the  country  church-yard, 

^Perhaps  in  this  neglected  spot  is  laid 
Some  heart  onoe  pregnant  with  celestial  Are; 

Hand  that  the  rod  of  empire  might  have  swayed. 
And  waked  to  extacy  Ihe  living  lyre." 

The  true  man  should  be  benefitted  by  his  parents'  lives 
whether  reckless. and  low,  or  careful  and  illustrious.  If 
his  ancestors  were  low  and  mean  he  should  shun  the 
causes  that  made  them  so,  if  great,  he  should  be  thankful 
for  that  greatness  to  emulate.

IV  HENRY  RUST  AND  FAMILY. 

This  work  was  commenced  and  considerable  data  ob- 
tained before  a  thought  of  its  publication  was  entertained. 
It  seemed  a  pleasant  and  interesting  research  and  the 
pleasure  it  afforded  was  the  incentive  to  its  further  prose- 
cution. .  At  length  correspondence  for  records  and. data 
brought  orders  for  a  "Rust  Book.''  Up  to  this  point 
considerable  time  and  some  money  had  been  given  to  it 
and  from  this  stage  of  the  work  until  its  completion 
the  chief  aim  was  to  make  a  book  as  complete  and 
correct  as  possible,  and  for  that  purpose  and  with  that 
end  in  view  the  summer  of  1889  was  spent  in  the  East, 
collecting  data  and  other  necessary  records  and  informa- 
tion. So  far  as  the  labor  on  the  work  is  concerned,  it  at 
first  appeared  as  the  apex  of  a  small  mole-hill,  but  as 
difficulties,  annoyances  and  data  for  the  work  increased, 
it  soon  became  a  mountain  of  gigantic  proportions,  and 
it  was  more  so  because  no  genealogy  of  the  fiunily  had 
ever  been  published,  more  so  because  at  the  inception  I 
possessed  no  knowledge  whatever  of  such  work,  or  of  the 
existence  of  other  genealogical  works,  or  even  of  the  ex- 
istence of  any  genealogical  society,  and  more  so  because 
of  the  great  remoteness  from  the  land  of  my  ancestors, 
and  still  more  so  because  of  my  limited  means  to  carry 
through  such  a  work  especially  as  all  my  time  was  needed 
in  my  regular  publishing  business. 

Betuming  from  Boston  in  1889,  my  work  again  com- 
menced with  over  400  pages  of  additional  data.  It  was 
then  easier  to  understand  the  force  of  what  Rev.  Augus- 
tine Caldwell,  of  Ipswich,  once  wrote  me;  he  said:  "It 
requires  all  the  grace  of  Heaven  to  get  a  genealogy  cor- 
rect and  then  it  does  not  always  prove  wholly  correct." 

The  first  information  received  in  answer  to  genealogi- 
cal inquiries  was  from  an  aunt,  Mi*s.  Sally  (Rust)  French, 
and  bears  date,  March  9,  1858.  That  letter  bridged  a 
chasm  which  could  not  othervrise  have  been  passed.  My 
grandfather,  an  orphan  at  one  year  of  age,  his  mother 
remarrying  and  moving  h,T  away,  leaving  the  child  in  the 
hands  of  strangers,  formed  this  well-nigh  impassable 
chasm.  In  1878,  at  the  time  the  work  was  commenced 
with  a  view  of  following  it  up  with  any  degree  of  regu- 
larity, this  aunt  and  her  father  had  passed  away,  leaving

only  the  letter  mentioned  through  which  to  connect  the 
living  with  the  dead  records. 

In  1886  it  was  determined  to  print  a  private  volume  in 
a  cheap  form,  embracing  the  results  of  the  research  thus 
fiir,  bat  with  the  rapid  growth  of  the  records,  grew  also 
the  interest  of  prominent  members  of  the  family.  My 
tune  was  mostly  devoted  to  the  work  until  June,  1889. 
since  which  my  entire  time  has  been  given  to  it,  not  only 
my  own  time  but  also  most  of  the  time  of  her  whose  life 
and  interests  are  so  closely  united  with  this  immediate 
family.  Since  1886  the  date  of  publication  has  not  ap- 
peared more  than  a  year  distant.  While  in  Boston  in 
1889,  it  was  determined  to  have  the  printing  and  binding 
done  in  the  East  where  there  were  much  better  fsu^ilities 
for  such  work  than  any  part  of  the  west  or  southwest  af- 
forded. Copy  for  the  book  was  sent  at  different  times  to 
three  different  publishers  in  the  East,  but  becoming  satis- 
fied that  the  work  would  not  be  done  as  satis&ctorily  there 
as  here  under  the  personal  and  inmiediate  supervision  of 
one  most  familiar  with  the  work  as  well  as  being  ac- 
quainted with  the  printing  business,  where  every  detail 
of  the  work  could  be  carefully  watched  and  all  the  changes 
or  additions  arriving  during  the  time  it  was  in  press, 
noted  and  properly  arranged,  the  copy  was  recalled, 
new  material  purchased  and  January  2,  1891  the  first 
type  was  set  for  the  work.  Many  unlooked-for  hin- 
drances, together  with  the  very  great  care  and  constant 
attention  in  comparing  and  correcting  by  the  original 
records,  has  protracted  the  time  to  about  double  what 
was  expected. 

It  is  useless  here  to  attempt  to  describe  the  endless 
amount  of  labor,  the  great  care  and  multiplicity  of  an- 
noyances entailed  upon  the  conscientious  genealogist,  as 
that  can  be  found  and  not  too  highly  colored  in  almost 
all  other  like  works. 

This  genealogy  is  so  condensed  that  while  it  is  clear 
and  comprehensive  it  would  have  made  a  book  one  half 
its  size  larger  had  the  usual  number  of  wordd  found  in 
such  works  been  employed  in  this.  Many  lines  of  those 
not  Busts  but  whose  descendants  have  intermarried  with 
the  Basts  have  been  carried  back  to  the  emigrant  ancestor

or  beyond  ;  these  are  always  found  in  foot-notes. 

Most  genealogists  give  less  credit  to  public  than  to 
private  records,  but  experience  in  this  work  has  been 
that  it  is  much  easier  to  harmonize  public  than  private 
records.  Different  dates  are  given  for  the  same  event  by 
different  members  of  the  same  family,  and  different 
names  have  been  given  to  the  same  person  by  own  broth- 
ers and  sisters ;  this  has  been  a  frequent  occurrence  and 
after  a  half  dozen  or  perhaps  a  dozen  letters  have  been 
written  in  an  attempt  to  harmonize  the  records,  no  other 
way  remained  but  to  leave  them  as  unsightly  and  prima 
facia  errors.  The  errors  for  which  the  author  is  respon- 
sible, although  an  immense  amount  of  care,  toil  and 
study  has  been  given  the  work,  will  be  enough  without 
publicly  assuming  the  errors  of  others,  and  it  is  hoped 
the  family  will  not  be  too  severe,  but  charitable  in  their 
criticisms. 

What  this  work  is  has  been  made  by  one  alone  at  his 
own  expense  without  that  systematic  and  organized  assis- 
tance needed  upon  such  a  work,  and  in  its  present  form 
is  submitted  to  the  family. 

Grateful  acknowledgements  are  due,  for  valuable  and 
important  assistance  on  this  work,  to  the  following 
named  persons :  John  R.  Rust,  of  Zumbrota,  Minn.,  for 
records  of  the  descendants  of  Rev.  Henry  Rust,  of  Strat- 
ham,  N.  H.,  graduate  of  Harvard  College,  1707  ;  Miss 
Minerva  B.  Rust,  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  who  has  been 
unceasing  in  her  efforts  and  unsparing  in  her  time  in  the 
interests  of  the  book ;  Hon.  N.  J.  Rust,  Boston,  Mass. ; 
Asa  Russ,  Quechee;  Vt. ;  Rev.  Augustine  Caldwell,  of 
Ipswich,  Mass. ;  Miss  Eliza  H.  Rust,  of  South  Wolfe- 
boro,  N.  H. ;  Ezra  Rust,  of  Saginaw,  Mich.,  for  records 
in  London,  England,  and  to  Rev.  John  Cyprian  Rust, 
Vicar  of  Soham,  Cambridgeshire,  Eng. ;  and  to  Greorge 
A.  Gordon,  of  Somerville,  Mass.,  for  very  many  favors.

OTHER  RUSTS— THE  COAT  OF  ARMS. 


ENGLISH  FAMILaSS  OF  RUST. 

The  earliest  mention  of  Rust  of  which  the  author  has 
been  able  to  learn  is  of  one  Hugh  Rust  in  England  in 
A.  Dm  1312.  In  Vol.  VH.,  Conventione  LitersB  is  a 
docoment  drawn  up  in  England,  A.  D.,  1379,  where 
mention  is  made  of  Thomas  and  Robert  Rust»  Dr. 
George  Rust,  a  learned  English  prelate,  a  native  of 
Cambridge,  England,  originally  of  Catherine  Hall,  and 
Proceeding  B.  A.,  1646,  and  M.  A.,  1650 ;  as  a  member 
of  that  house  he  took  the  degree  of  B.  D.  in  Christ  Col- 
lege, Cambridge,  in  1658.  He  was  invited  into  Ireland 
by  Bishop  Jeremy  Taylor,  ordained  deacon  and  priest  on 
the  same  day,  May  7,  1661,  and  instituted  to  the  dea- 
conry  of  Connor,  August  31,  1661.  In  1662  the  Crown 
presented  him  to  the  rectory  of  Island  McGee.  In  1664 
he  was  rector  of  Lisbum  and  in  1667  was  raised  to  the 
bishopric  of  Dromore,  where  he  died  in  December,  1670, 
and  was  interred  in  the  choir  of  the  cathedral  of  Dro-' 
more,  in  the  same  vault  with  his  friend  Jeremy  Taylor. 
Archdeacon  Bonney  said  of  him :  ^A  person  of  whom 
no  commendation  could  be  extravagant."  From  Thomp- 
son Cooper's  Biographical  Dictionary,  (London,  1873,) 
we  find  that  Dr.  George  Rust  wrote  *^A  Discourse  of 
Truth,"  and  "*  Discourse  of  the  use  of  Reason  in  Matters 
of  Religion."  *'His  Remains  were  published  1686,  by 
Henry  Hallywell." 

Mr.  Ezra  Rust,  of  Saginaw,  Michigan,  who  has  spent 
.several  summers  in  England  and  upon  the  continent,  ob- 
tained some  valuable  data  of  Rust  from  the  Herald's  col- 
lege, being  extracts  from  Davy's  Suffolk  Collection.  The 
following  are  a  few  of  the  facts  obtained  by  Mr.  Rust : 

Rev.  Edgar  Rust  was  bom  in  1799;  died  May  17, 
1849.  (About  1840  the  family  changed  the  surname  to 
iyEje»)  He  was  the  father  of  nine  children.  The  arms

England,  as  described  in  Burk's  Heraldry :  ^A  Saltire

Rev.  Edgar  Rust  was  an  only  child  and  was  the  great- 
grandson  of  John  Rust,  of  Stowemarket,  a  linen  draper, 
bom  1696 ;  made  his  will  May  1,  1775,  proved  January 

23,  1776.  He  had  one  sister  and  three  brothers,  one  of 
whom,  Robert  of  Wortham,  County  of  Suffolk,  a  cloth- 
ier, was  bom  1669  ;  married  Mary  Russell  and  died  May 

24,  1737.  Robert  was  the  father  of  twelve  children,  one 
of  whom,  Thomas  Rust,  bom  1703,  the  author  believes 
to  be  the  Thomas  whose  record  appears  in  the  parish  reg- 
ister of  North  Lopham,  Norfolk  Co.,  and  who  married 

first,  Hannah .     She  died  and  was  buried  April  7, 

1738,  and  he  married  second,  October  2,  1738,  widow 
Susan  Astin.  She  died  and  was  buried  March  28,  1743. 
Thomas  Rust,  by  his  first  wife,  had,  besides  other  chil- 
dren, William,  baptised  in  North  Lopham,  December  19, 
1734.  He  was  the  father  of  Thomas  Rust,  of  Stowe- 
market, who  was  the  father  of  Rev.  Cyprian  Thomas 
Rust,  bora  March  25,  1808,  late  Rector  of  Westerfield, 
Suffolk  Co.,  now  living  with  his  son.  Rev.  John  Cyprian 
Rust,  Vicar  of  Soham,  Cambridgeshire,  England.  Rev. 
Edgar  Rust's  father,  John  Edgar  Rust,  Esq. ,  of  Stowemar- 
ket, was  Deputy-Lieutenant  of  Suffolk  Co.,  and  one  of  the 
oldest  magistrates  on  the  bench  at  the  time  of  his  death, 
March  31,  1840,  aged  seventy-three  years. 

After  dilligent  effort  to  learn  of  a  coat  of  arms  to  which 
the  descendants  of  Henry  Rust  have  a  right,  no  such  has 
been  found.

only  the  following  Rusts :

SOUTHERN  RUSTS. 

It  was  the  original  purpose  to  include  in  this  volume 
record  of  all  the  Rusts  in  the  United  States ;  but  the 
data  collected  of  Henry  Rust  and  his  descendants  has 
grown  to  such  proportions  that  the  idea  was  abandoned 
and  only  a  synopsis  can  here  be  given. 

What  may  be  called  the  Southern  blanch  of  the  Bust 
family  is  quite  numerous  and  from  it  have  sprung  several 
attaining  national  prominence.  The  compiler  has  made 
a  careful  and  persisteat  effort  to  collect  and  arrange/tbe 
records  of  this  branch,  but  it  has  been  very  unsatisfac-

much  less  interest  manifested  by  the  Southern  branch 
than  by  the  descendants  of  Henry  Rust. 

The  earliest  record  of  any  Rusts  in  the  South  is  re- 
vealed by  two  wilb.  One  is  the  will  of  William  Rust, 
made  in  Westmoreland  county,  Virginia,  March  18, 
1696-7  ;  proved  28  July,  1697,  witnessed  by  George 
Rust  and  others.  Children  named :  William,  Ann  and 
Margaret.  Probably  Samuel,  and  Geoige  who  witnessed 
the  will,  were  also  his  children.  His  wife's  name  was 
Margaret.  Another  will  was  made  in  the  same  county 
by  William  Rust  and  bears  date  1699.  This  was  prob- 
ably the  son  of  the  first  William  mentioned,  and  it  is 
supposed  he  had  a  son  John.  It  is  thought  possible  that 
earlier  records  may  exist  in  Northumberland  county, 
an  older  county  than  Westmoreland. 

Doubtless  the  large  majority  of  the  numerous  Rusts  of 
the  South  are  descended  from  this  William,  1696-7,  and 
many  of  the  present  generation  have  been  traced  directly 
to  him ;  but  in  other  lines  links  are  wanting.  The  rec- 
ords that  have  been  collected  of  this  branch  are  valuable 
and  would  make  quite  a  volume. 

OEHHAN  BUSTS. 

By  far  the  laiger  number  of  distinct  families  that  the 
compiler  has  learned  of  were  either  themselves  or  their 
immediate  ancestors  from  some  of  the  German  states  and 
of  Teutonic  origin.  Paul  Rust  came  fi'om  Germany  and 
settled  in  Pennsylvania,  dying  at  an  advanced  age,  in 
1790.  He  had  among  other  children  a  son  Charles  who 
was  bom  in  Pennsylvania  in  1764 ;  settled  in  Baltimore, 
Maryland,  and  raised  a  large  fiftmily. 

The  name  Russ  was  brought  to  this  country  from  Eng- 
land. Comparatively  few  of  that  name  of  foreign  birth 
have  been  found.  Most  of  those  now  bearing  the  name 
in  the  United  States  originated  from  the  Rust  £unily  in 
this  country,  for  evidence  of  which  see  page  106.  Con- 
siderable Russ  data  not  belonging  to  this  Genealogy  has 
been  collected ;  these  collections  would  lead  us  to  con- 
clude that  the  original  fiimilies  who  brought  the  name  to 
this  country  settled  in  Connecticut  and  Massachusetts.

ORIGIN  OF  THE  NAME  RUST. 


The  exact  &ct8  regarding  the  origin  of  the  name  Rust  is  hid 
in  obecnrity,  at  least  to  the  anthor.  There  are  however  he  be- 
Herea,  sufficient  grounds  for  a  very  probable  and  altogether 
reasonable  theory. 

The  anthor  of  <<The  Norman  People"  says  Bast  is  the  same  as 
Bona  and  Raste.  In  Bardsley's  work  on  English  snmamcs,  1878, 
that  author  sayd:  ^  Peter  Le  Bnsse  would  seem  at  first  sight  to 
be  of  Bnssian  origin,  especially  with  such  a  christian  name  at 
the  fore  as  the  one  above,  but  it  is  &r  more  probably  one  more 
form  of  the  endless  corruptions  of  Le  Bous,  a  sobriquet  of  com- 
plexion so  extremely  familiar  to  all  who  have  spent  any  time 
over  mediaeval  registers." 

Burke,  in  his  works  on  heraldry,  says :  <^  Bous,  (Edmerstone,  Co. 
Devon,  and  Halton,  Co.  Cornwall ;  descended  through  the  mar- 
riage of  Wm.  Le  Bous,  son  of  Sir  Bobert  Le  Bous,  ^^light  Ban- 
neret under  the  Black  Prince,  with  Alice,  daughter  and  heir  of 
Thomas  Edmerstone,  of  Edmerstone,  from  Badulphus  Le  Bufus, 
a  Norman  Knight  in  the  army  of  William  of  Normandy ;  of  this 
family  was  Francis  Bous,  M.  P.,  for  Devonshire,  Speaker  of  the 
Short  Parliament,  and  one  of  Cromwell's  lords.)  Or,  an  eagle 
displ.  az.  pruning  its  wings,  with  feet  and  bill  gu.  Crest: — A

<<  Rouse,  (as  borne  by  the  Bev.  Oliver  Bouse,  Bector  of  Tetcott, 
a  lineal  descendant  of  Sir  Badulphus  Le  Buftis,  who  accompa- 
nied ^e  Conquerer  to  England.  The  exhibition  in  Pembroke 
CoDege,  Oxford,  founded  by  the  celebrated  Francis  Bous,  of  the 
time  of  Cromwell,  was  lately  declared  to  be  in  the  patronage  of 
the  Bev.  Oliver  Bouse).  Arms:-— Same  as  Bous  of  Edmerstone." 
Bardsley  regards  it  as  a  name  descriptive  of  complexion  or  per- 
sonal appearance,  perhaps  derived  from  the  tawny,  ruddy  or 
roseet  appearance  of  the  skin  which  exposure  to  the  weather 
gives  to  the  healthful,  sturdy  farmer,  soldier  or  seaman.  Vari- 
ous forms  of  the  name:  Bous,  Bouse,  Bowse  and  Bosse. 

William  H.  Bust,  Esq.,  of  New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  who  has  trav- 
elled in  Holland  and  Germany  wrote  the  author  several  years 
since,  that  when  he  was  in  Holland  he  saw  many  villas  with  the 
following  or  similar  mottoes  on  the  gateways:  '<Lust  und  Bust," 
''aiid  others,  nearly  all  of  which,"  says  Mr.  Bust,  <'had  in  some 
oonnection  the  word  ^*  Bust,"  signifying  rest,  ease  or  repose  in  the 
Holland  or  Low  Dutch  dialect.  These  villas  were  owned  by 
merchants  of  cities  who  used  the  mottoes  to  express,  that  after 
labor  or  work  (lust  in  Holland  or  Low  Dutch,)  came  rest,

PLAN  OF  TfflS  WORK. 


The  plan  of  this  Genealogy  is  the  same  as  that  recommeitded 
by  the  Genealogical  Register. 

The  large  black  faced  numbers  (called  history  numbers)  and 
the  name  in  black  type  in  the  same  line  represent  only  those 
male  Rusts  who  have  descendants.  Under  this  head  will  be 
given  all  the  history  and  record  of  this  person. 

The  superior  or  small  figures,  (called  generation  numbers,)  fol- 
lowing the  name,  if  a  descendant  of  a  Bust,  thus,  John«*  refers 
to  the  generation  from  Henrys  Rust. 

The  small  figures  at  the  left  of  the  Roman  numerals  in  the 
margin,  (called  first  appearance  numbers,)  refer  to  the  history 
number  of  that  person  in  the  succeeding  generation.  Only  the 
date  of  birth  and  name  of  wife  or  wives  are  given  at  first  ap- 
pearance. 

All  record  and  history  of  any  Rust,  male  or  female,  without 
first  appearance  numbers,  together  with  that  of  their  descend- 
ants, to  the  fourth  generation  will  be  given  at  the  first  appear- 
ance of  the  name. 

The  &mily  number  of  daughters  of  Rusts,  is  in  Roman  num- 
erals in  the  margin ;  her  chilc&en's  names  appear  in  small  capitals 
with  Roman  fiEumlly  numerals;  her  grandchildren's  names  are  in 
Italics  with  Arabic  family  numerals';  her  great-grandchildren's 
names  appear  in  Roman  with  Arabic  family  numerals  in  paren- 
thesis. In  a  very  few  instances  the  fifth  generation  is  given  and 
the  &mlly  numeral  is  given  thus,  (a),  (6),  (c),  etc 

In  all  families  the  generation  number  appears  only  after  the 
name  of  every  first  child. 

Surnames  of  descendants  of  daughters  of  Rust  appear  in  par 
renthesis  after  the  christian  name  of  the  first  child  bearing 
another  name. 

The  maiden  surname  of  the  mother  of  companions  has  been 
given  in  parenthesis  when  obtainable. 

Example  : — ^Desiring  to  find  the  record  of  Horatio  N.  Rust, 
reference  to  the  index  will  give  his  history  number,  (872)  in  pa- 
renthesis instead  of  the  page ;  having  found  this,  ihe  father's 
record  can  be  found  by  tumiog  to  the  same  number  872,  at  its 
<< first  appearance"  showing  H.  N.  Rust  to  be  the  first  child  in 
the  family  of  his  father.  Nelson^  Rust  whose  record  is  found  un- 
der history  number  (214),  by  referring  to  which  number  at  its 
<<  first  appearance "  will  be  found  Nelson^  Rust  to  be  the  first 
child  of  John<  Rust  whose  history  number  is  (106X  the  correspon- 
ding number  at  first  appearance  shows  that  John*  was  the  sev- 
en^ child  of  Lieut  Lemuel^  Rust,  whose  history  number  is  (50), 
thus  tracing  it  back  to  Henrys  Rust 

To  trace  the  other  way,  it  is  only  necessary  to  notice  the  <'  first 
appearance  numbers  "  in  a  family,  then  turn  to  the  correspond- 
ing *<  history  number "  in  the  next  generation.

HENRY  RUST  AND  fflS  DESCENDANTS. 


1  Henry/  the  progenitor  of  the  family  to  which  this 
work  is  devoted,  came  from  Hingham,  Norfolk  county, 
Englaad,  1633-35  and  settled  in  Hingham,  Mass.,  and 
was  the  first  of  the  name  to  settle  in  America.  The  au- 
thor has  not  been  able  to  learn  the  exact  date  of  his  land- 
ing, nor  the  ship  he  came  over  in,  but  history  informs  us 
that  he  was  at  Hingham  as  early  as  June,  1635,  as  the 
following  will  prove : 

"June  1635  Thomas  Jason  is  to  have  two  acres  for  a 
planting  ground  on  Weary- All-Hill  on  the  north  side 
coming  to  the  sea."  [Daniel  Fop  joins  Thomas  Jason 
on  the  westward,  John  Farrah  joins  Fop  on  the  west- 
ward.] "Henry  Rust  is  to  have  two  acres  for  planting 
ground  next  to  John  Farrah  to  the  westward  upon  the 
same  hill,  be  it  more  or  less  as  it  is  measured."  Then 
Thomas  Lincoln  has  two  acres  joining  Rust  to  the  west- 
ward.* 

March  5,  1637.  Henry  Rust  received  his  proportion 
from  the  town  of  meadow  and  upland  of  Nantascus  Divi- 
sion; 39  recipients,  "Henry  Rust  received  one  acre  of 
meadow  and  five  acres  of  upland."  t 

•'March  23,  1637.  These  nine  men  hereafter  mentioned 
being  freemen  of  the  town  be  chosen  and  deputied  by  the 
whole  body  of  freemen  to  agitate  and  determyne  concern- 
ing any  general  business  within  the  town  except  it  be  the 
making  of  any  Rates,  unless  they  be  newly  chosen  in  a 
legal  way,  or  receiving  in  of  any  person  to  be  an  inhabi- 
tant into  the  town  that  is  to  say  Edmont  Hubbard,  the 
older,   Clement  Bate,   Nicholas  Jacob,  Henry  Tuthill, 

KoR.— It  appears  that  the  new  towns  olaimed  title  to  the  land  wherever  they 
tettled  and  it  was  apportioned  to  whoever  the  selectmen  or  other  proper  anthon- 
tSes  thouht  beet;  eomettmes  by  lot,  sometimes  by  selection  by  the  authorities 
and  sometimes  by  vote  of  the  town,  but  it  mnst  be  remembered  that  to  oonsti- 
tate  one  a  voter  he  must  be  a  freeman,  and  to  constltnte  him  a  freeman  he  mxut 
be  a  member  of  some  Congregational  church

the  best  wisdom  and  skill  for  one  whole  year  after  the 
date  hereof."* 

August  14,  1637.  "Great  lots"  were  given  by  the  free- 
men as  follows  :    "Henry  Rust  received  14  acres." 

February  16,  1638.  "Henry  Rust  with  five  others  was 
chosen  to  make  rates." 

"The  name  of  Henry  Rust  appears  among  the  first  set- 
tlers of  Hingham  about  1636.  Henry  Rust  by  joynt  con-

the  N.  E.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Register  for  April,  1876,  is 
submitted  as  conclusive : 

"On  the  26  of  April,  1638,  the  ship  'Dilligent,  of  Ips- 
wich,'  England,  of  350  tons  burden,  John  Martin, 
Master,  set  sail  from  the  mouth  of  the  Thames  for 
Massachusetts  Bay  having  on  board  nineteen  families  and 
six  or  eight  single  persons,  in  all  one  hundred  and  thirty- 
three.  Twelve  of  these  families,  numbering  eighty-four 
souls,  were  from  old  Hingham,  the  rest  from  the  immedi- 
ate vicinity ;  and  they  had  all  embarked  for  the  purpose 
of  joining  a  colony  settled  in  Hingham,  Mass.,  1633-37 
^consisting  of  ten  families  and  five  single  persons,  in  all 
forty-nine)  who  had  been  their  friends  and  neighbors  in 
old  Hingham."

"The  rector  of  the  parish,  Rev.  Rob't  Peck  with  his 
fkmily  consisting  of  wife,  two  children  and  two  servants, 
also  formed  a  part  of  the  company."  In  same  volmne  we 
learn  that  "The  party  having  landed  at  Boston,  Mass., 
Aug.  10,  1638,  immediately  proceeded  to  their  place  of 
destination  about  fourteen  miles  S.  E.  from  Boston." 
From  the  above  we  deduce  the  facts  that  at  the  time  of 
this  accession  the  total  population  of  Hingham  was  forty- 
nine  and  that  Henry  Rust  must  have  been  one  of  that 
number.  We  also  learn  that  the  first  colonists  at  Hing- 
ham, among  whom  was  Henry  Rust,  came  from  old  Hing- 
ham, Norfolk  county,  England,  or  its  "immediate  vi- 
cinity." 

In  1645  he  was  appointed  for  "ye  recording  births  and 
buruals  in  Hingham  in  the  room  of  Mr.  Peck ;"  but  he 
must  soon  have  removed  to  Boston  as  he  was  admitted  to 
be  an  inhabitant  of  that  place  March  31,  1651. 

Soon  after  becoming  a  citizen  of  Boston  in  1651,  Hen- 
ry Rust  purchased  property  there.  The  following  is  the 
deed  of  conveyance  to  him  :

12  HENRY  BUST  AND  FAHILT. 

this  building,  sold  the  last  week  in  Aug.,  1889  to  a  wid- 
ow Pickett  for  $350,000  or  $65  per  square  foot. 

It  is  quite  clear  that  the  first  property  owned  by  Hen- 
ry Rust  in  Boston  was  that  subsequently  known  as  the 
"Seven  Star  Inn"  property,  and  it  is  quite  reasonable  to 
suppose  that  the  name  was  adopted  by  him  as  a  sign  for 
his  business,  to  wit :  that  of  "Glover,"  If  this  sign  was 
not  adopted  by  Henry  Rust  it  certainly  must  have  been 
by  his  son-in-law,  Robert  Earle,  as  he  called  it  by  that 
name  when  he  sold  it  in  1698. 

In  1677  Henry  Rust  was  a  deponent  in  Boston. 

We  find  no  date  of  his  death,  but  he  must  have  de- 
ceased between  January,  1684,  the  date  of  the  instrument 
conveying  his  property  and  1685,  the  date  of  the  con- 
veyance of  the  same  property  by  Nathaniel  Rust  to  Rob- 
ert Earle,  as  Nathaniel  refers  to  his  father  as  "Henry  Rust 
late  of  s'd  Boston  dec'd." 

The  name  of  his  wife  nowhere  appears,  hence  we  are 
left  to  speculate  as  to  the  name  of  our  maternal  emigrant 
ancestor.  We  have  no  knowledge  of  there  being  but 
one  daughter,  to  wit :  Hannah,  and  we  may  infer  that  the 
mother's  name  was  the  same  as  that  of  her  only  daughter. 
We  are  also  left  in  the  dark  as  to  the  date  of  her  death 
and  find  but  two  allusions  to  her.  It  is  recorded  on  the 
books  of  the  First  Church,  Boston,  "Henry  Rust  &  wife 
admitted  to  the  church  20  of  y®  12  mo  1669,"  again  in 
Henry  Rust's  deed  of  conveyance  to  Nathaniel  Rust  and 
Robert  Earle  he  refers  to  "my  wife."  We  are  quite  as 
much  in  the  dark  as  to  whether  our  ancestor  married  in 
England  or  America,  but  probably  the  latter  as  he  was  in 
America  as  early  as  Jime,  1635,  and  perhaps  earlier, 
and  their  first  child,  whose  birth  is  recorded,  was  bom  in 
August  1638. 

From  the  three  sons  of  this  Henry  Rust,  Samuel,  Na- 
thaniel and  Israel,  has  this  entire  &mily  sprung.  Samuel 
settled  in  Boston,  Nathaniel  in  Ipswich  and  Israel  in 
Northampton. 

The  children  of  Henry  and  his  wife  were :

said  he  had  a  wife  and  family."  § 

We  have  no  record  of  the  death  of  Samuel,  but  he 
must  have  died  between  April  15,  1676,  the  date  of  his 
memorial,  and  1684,  the  date  of  the  conveyance  of  his 
father,  Henry  Rust,  as  in  the  conveyance  he  is  referred 
to  as  deceased.  Samuel's  wife  was  alive  in  January, 
1684,  as  appears  by  the  deed,  Henry  Rust  to  his  son, 
Nathaniel,  and  Robert  Earle.

irSee  sketch  and  will  of  William  Wardell,  pages  21  to  24.  It  has  generaUy 
been  understood  that  Mary,  the  wife  of  Kathaniel,  the  Qlover,  was  daughter  of 
Quarter  Master  John  Perkins.  This  oonolnsion  was  based  upon  the  idea  that 
Abraham  Perkins,  (a  son  of  Quarter  Master  John),  who  receipted  for  money 
in  the  settlement  of  the  estate  of  Nathaniel  Rust,  was  a  brother  to  Nathaniel's 
wife,  Mary,  because  on  one  side  of  that  receipt  he  calls  Nathaniel  "Brother 
Rust."  With  the  cause  that  moved  Abraham  Perkins  to  call  Nathaniel  Rust 
'  'Brother  Rust"  we  have  nothing  to  do.  The  WarieU  wlU  settles  the  question 
of  parentage  of  Nathaniel's  wife,  Mary.

He  was  in  Ipswich  as  early  as  1661  and  engaged  in  the 
manufikcture  of  gloves  by  which  vocation  he  earned  the 
title  of  **Nathaniel  the  Glover"  and  was  so  called,  proba- 
bly, to  designate  him  in  later  years  from  his  son,  Nathan- 
iel.

officers  belonging  to  Mr.  Rust's  company  are  absent,  he  is

Henry  F.  Waters'  collection  of  Rust  genealogy  has  the 
following : 

'^In  probate  records  Nathaniel  Rust's  name  appears  as 
appraiser  of  estates  of  Thomas  Andrews  (1683),  Jona. 
Wade  (1683),  Abraham  Fitts  (1692),  Joseph  Fellows

(1689),  Serg't,  Tho's.  Clarke,  Sen'r.,  (1689),  John  Day 
(1689),  Anthony  Potter  (1689),  Samuel  Pearce  (1691), 
John  Hodgkins  (1690),  appointed  overseer  by  Anthony 
Potter  (1689)  ;  and  in  account  with  estates  of  Cornelius 
Kent  (1673),  John  Emery,  Sen'r,  of  Newbury  (1683), 
John  Wood  (1685), Capt.  Moses  Bradstreet  (1691),  Fen- 
nel Rosse  (1683),  Edwairi  Hazen  of  Rowley  (1683), 
John  Poor,  Sen'r.  (1685),  John  Knowlton  (1684), Thom- 
as Bellows  (1691),  Thomas  Abbott  of  Andover  (1695), 
John  King  (1684)  ;  he  deposes  in  1689  as  witness  to 
William  Wood's  will ;  '*bo't  a  new  flock  bed"  for  The- 
ophilus  Wilson  before  1690  ;  and  in  1693,  (Oct.  13),  Mr. 
Nathaniel  jkiflit,  Sen'r.  and  Mr.  John  Whipple  were  com- 
missioners to  receive  claims  against  the  estate  of  Peter

By  a  bond  of  Capt.  Rindge  and  Deacon  Norton, 
on  file  with  their  administrators'  bond,  but  not  re- 
corded and  now  hardly  legible,  it  appears  that  he  had 
conveyed  his  real  estate  to  them  for  the  "support  and  com- 
fortable maintainance  of  himself  and  his  wife  in  their 
old  age  and  under  infirmaties  etc."  The  date  of  the  ac- 
knowJedgment  of  their  bond  was  9  May,  1710-11.  The 
account  of  adiniinistration  was  presented  11  May,  1719,

when  the  inventory  had  increased  to  £175  ISs  8d,  accom- 
panying this  is  an  account  drawn  off  by  Capt,  Rindge 
from  his  books,  (not  recorded),  Jan.  6,  1713-14.  This 
account  begins  with  the  last  adjustment,  26  July,  1701, 
and  the  last  entry  is  as  follows  :  '*9  Dec.  (1711)  to  sund- 
ries for  funeral  charge,  As  gloves,  mourning  cloth  for  the 
wido  wine,  sugar,  Digin  ye  grave  pai  in  the  Doctor  &  pa-

age  78  years." 

The  General  Court  records  are  as  follows  :  "In  pursu- 
ance of  the  order  of  the  General  Court,  16  Oct.,  1679, 
about  those  that  are  behind  what  they  subscribed  to  the 
new  building  for  the  College  at  Cambridge,  have  appoint- 
ed Nathaniel  Rust  to  demand  the  same  of  such  as  live  on 
the  south  side  of  the  river."  We  also  find  the  following 
upon  the  records :  "1680  Feb  7  Simon  Stace  and  Nathan- 
iel Rust  brought  in  an  account  of  nineteen  pounds,  fif- 
teen shillings  in  com  and  malt,  put  aboard  John  Dutch 
his  sloop  and  brought  a  receipt  under  the  hand  of  Mr. 
John  Woodmancie,  who  was  to  receive  it  by  order  of  Mr. 
William  Manning  of  Cambridge,  of  seventy-eight  bushells 
and  a  half  of  Indian  com,  and  thirty  bushels  and  three 
pecks  of  malt,  and  this  was  in  April  the  20  1680." 

On  the  funeral  occasion  of  Mr.  Cobbets,  we  find  the 
following  recorded :  "That  Mr.  Rust  provide  if  he  can 
against  the  funerall.  Gloves  sutable  for  men  and  women 
to  the  value  of  five  or  six  pounds,  not  money  pay,  and 
some  spice  and  ginger  for  the  Syder." 

In  the  itemized  account  of  the  expense  of  this  funeral 
was  the  following : 

"It.  To  Mr.  Nathaniel  Rust  money  layd  out  for  fu- 
neral £2  048  OOd". 

"It.     For  said  Rust  going  to  Salem  4s  OOd." 

"Sept  ye  1**  1692,  Nathaniel  Rust  sen.  with  others  was 
appointed  on  a  committee  to  oversee  affairs  necessary  for

Note.— It  must  be  remembered  that  this  Bust  was  the  '"Glover"  and  there- 
fore he  had  the  contract  to  famiBh  the  glovcB  on  this  occasion,  but  not  to  receive 
pay  in  cash,  but  as  Cambridge  College  was  paid  for,  in  com,  malt,  etc. ,  or  some

WnxiAM  Wardell. 

William  Wardell  had  a  brother  Thos.  Wardell  who  was 
a  shoemaker  and  resided  in  Lincolnshire,  England,  who 
came  to  this  country  and  was  admitted  to  the  Boston 
church  9  Nov.,  1634;  and  whose  son  Samuel  was  hung 
at  Andover  as  a  witch  in  1692.  William  Wardell  doubt- 
less came  to  this  country  from  England  with  Edmond 
Qoincy  as  his  servant,  as  on  his  admission  to  Boston 
church  9  Feb.,  1634,  he  is  called  *'one  of  our  brother  Ed- 
mond Quincy's  servants.**  Jan.  6,  1638-9,  ''The  Boston 
church  dismissed  Wheelwright  and  eight  others  including 
Thomas  and  William  Wardell  unto  the  Church  of  Christ 
at  the  &lls  of  Piscataqua  if  they  be  rightly  gathered  and 
ordered." — (BelPs  Hist.  Exeter,  p.  12.)  William  was 
one  of  the  Hutchinsonians  and  was  banished  from  Mass- 
achusetts because  he  was  an  adherent  of  Bev.  John 
Wheelwright  and  together  they  went  to  Exeter  when 
William  and  his  brother  Thomas,  with  several  others, 
signed  the  Exeter  Combination,  "6  day  4***  mo  1639." 
Feb.  20,  1636,  he  received  in  Boston  two  acres  of  land 
laid  out  at  the  Mount  (Wollaston)  "only  for  his  present 
planting,"  and,  Feb.  19,  1637,  a  great  lot  at  the  same 
place  "for  three  heads."  But  the  next  year  he  migrated 
to  Exeter  on  being  disarmed  as  a  friend  of  the  Antinom- 
ian  party.  He  took  with  him  some  cattle  or  goats,  as  it 
appears  that  he  had  in  the  first  division  of  lands  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty  poles  of  meadow  "on  this  side  of  Mr. 
Hiltons"  and  the  same  quantity  at  Lamprey  river.  "He 
also  had  ten  acres  and  fifty  poles  of  upland ;  and  set  his 
hand  to  the  combination."  He  soon  returned  from  Exe- 
ter with  Wainwright  and  his  name  is  subscribed  as  a  wit- 
ness to  the  deed  of  Sagamore  Thomas  Chobinocke  to 
John  Wadleigh  at  Wells,  18  Oct.,  1649,  and  settled  by 
Warden's  oath,  25  Mar.,  1657.  He  also  swore  alleg- 
iance to  Massachusetts  at  Wells,  5  July,  1653. — ('Bell's 
Hist.  Exeter,  p.  37.)  William  Wardell's  first  wite  was 
Alice,  by  whom  he  had :  1  Meribah,  b.  in  Boston  14 
May,  bap.  25  June,  1637.  2  Uzell,  b.  in  Exeter  7  Apr., 
1639.    3  Elihu,  bap.  in  Boston  5  Dec,  1641.     4  Mary,

bap.  in  Boston  14  Apr.,  1644,  "when  she  was  about  9 
days  old."  5  Leah,  b.  7  Dec,  1646.  He  married,  for 
his  second  wife,  5  Dec,  1657,  Elizabeth,  widow  of  John 
Gillett.  By  Elizabeth  he  had:  6  Abigail,  b.  24  Apr., 
1660.  There  is  a  discrepancy  between  the  date  of  birth 
of  Mary  as  found  on  Boston  Town  Records  and  her 
stated  age  at  death. 

The  Boston  records  do  not  leave  us  in  the  dark  regard- 
ing the  vocation  of  William  Wardell.  29  April,  1661, 
permission  was  granted  to  William  Wardell  "to  draw 
beere;"  25  Apr.,  1670,  the  permission  was  granted  to 
"widdowe"  Wardell,  and  so  on,  year  after  year,  till  June 
19,  1691.  In  the  latter  year  permission  "to  sell  strong 
liquors  out  of  Doors"  was  added  and  at  the  last  Widow 
Warden's  daughter,  Deborah  Mann,  was  included.  In 
1649,  Savage  says  William  Wardell  "was  drawing  wine" 
at  Wells.  The  name  is  variously  spelled  Wardall,  Ward- 
hall,  Werdall,  Wardle,  Woodell  or  Wardell  and  some- 
times Ward  well.

died  at  Chebacco,  (Essex)  28  Jan.,  1733;  he  died  at 
Chebacco,  9  Sept.,  1711.  Lieut.  Nathaniel,  like  his 
father,  the  "Glover,"  was  a  prominent  and  useful  man. 
He  married  at  about  seventeen  years  of  age,  his  wife 
being  two  years  his  senior.  He  was  on  the  expedition  to 
Canada  in  1690  ;  opened  and  taught  the  first  free  school 
ever  taught  in  Chebacco,  as  the  following  will  show : 

(It  appears  that  in  the  spring  of  1695,  a  public  meet- 
ing was  held  to  devise  means  to  open  a  free  school  in 
Chebacco.)  "The  result  was  the  choice  of  a  conmiittee  to 
hire  a  teacher,  and  provide  suitable  accommodations  for  a 
school.  This  committee  made  choice  of  Nathaniel  Rust, 
jr.,  who  opened  his  school  in  June,  1695,  and  taught 
through  the  summer  with  such  acceptance  that  the  next 
summer  they  invited  him  to  settle  with  them  as  their 
school  teacher.  This  invitation  he  accepted  and  taught 
here  several  years.  The  town  gave  six  acres  of  pasture 
for  the  benefit  of  the  school  and  one  quarter  of  an  acre  to 
Mr.  Rust  to  set  his  house  on.  The  house  he  then  built  is 
the  same  as  to  most  of  the  timbers,  with  that  now  owned 
by  William  H.  Mears.  It  was  remodeled  and  enlarged 
about  seventy-five  years  since.  .  .  .  The  school  was 
probably  taught  in  a  room  in  Mr.  Rust's  house,  as  no 
school  house  was  built  till  the  beginning  of  the  next  cen- 
tury." J

against  Robert  Kinsman  was,  "not  to  bear  office,  fine  £20  pay  costs,  £600  bond 
for  good  behaTlonr  for  one  year. ' '  The  cost  of  time  and  money  to  these  six  men

built  in  1702.*

place  for  the  erecting  a  school  house  in  Giebacco,  we,  the 
subscribers,  having  duly  considered  the  same,  have  ap- 
pointed that  the  said  house  be  built  on  the  right  hand  of 
the  way  as  you  go  from  the  meeting-house  to  Deacon 
Thomas  Lows  upon  a  handsome  rising,  dry  piece  of 
ground,  right  opposite  to  Mr.  Adam  Cogsweirs  bam,

''Dec.  1704  it  was  voted  to  give  Nathaniel  Rust,  jr.,  in

8  Vafhaniel'  {I^O£l^  Henty^)  bom  in  Northamp- 
ton, 17  Nov.,  1671 ;  married,  first,  17  May,  1692,  Mary 
or  Mercy  Atchinson  ^from  Hatfield.^  She  was  bom 
1673 ;  died  21  Jan.,  1754,  in  the  eighty-first  year  of  her 
age.  He  married,  second,  widow  Mary  Bose,  9  Sept., 
1754. 

^Mercy,  wife  of  Capt.  Nathaniel  Rust,  died  21  Jan., 
1754,  in  the  eighty-first  year  of  her  age.  Now  if  we 
balance  probabilities  and  make  Captain  Rust  as  old  as  his 
wife  he  must  have  been  in  1754,  eighty  or  more  than 
eighty  years  old.  Jan.  21,  Mrs.  Rust  died.  Captain 
Nathaniel  Rust  and  the  widow  Mary  Rose  were  married, 
Sept.  9,  1754,  and  this  is  the  last  we  hear  of  Captain 
Rust.''* 

This  was  certainly  a  remarkable  marriage,  for  the 
groom  was  bom  17  Nov.,  1671,  married  his  second  wife 
9  Sept.,  1754,  when  he  was  eighty-two  years,  nine 
months  and  twenty-three  days  old. 

The  foUowing  in  substance  is  on  record  in  the  office  of 
Register  of  Deeds,  Book  A.,  Springfield : 

*^athaniel  Rust  gave  a  mortgage  of  full  two  acres  of

the  marriage  is  on  record ;  he  died  in  Coventiy,  6  Sept.,

Capt.  Rust  was  prominent  in  town  affairs  and  repre- 
sented the  town  in  the  Greneral  Assembly.  The  following 
extracts,  copied  from  the  MS.  history  of  Coventry  by 
Rev.  Mr.  Root,  will  convey  to  the  reader  a  very  correct 
idea  of  his  prominence  and  the  business  positions  he  oc- 
cupied : 

'"Chose  Lister  and  Inspector,'  11  Dec.,  1732."  p.  65. 

''At  a 'Legall' town  meeting  held  17  Jan.,  1733-4,  a 
piece  of  land  which  had  been  laid  out  for  a  highway  was 
granted  to  Samuel  Rust.  Meets  and  bounds  given," 
p.  225. 

"At  a 'Legall'town  meeting  10  Dec,  1733  Samuel  Rust 
with  others  was  appointed  surveyor  of  highways." 

"At  a  'Legair  town  meeting  12  Dec,  1737  Samuel  Rust 
was  appointed  surveyor  of  highways." 

April  8,  1740,  Capt.  Rust  was  appointed  on  a  commit- 
tee to  exchange  land.* 

"Capt.  Samuel  Rust  was  'chose'  as  one  of  the  Select- 
men of  the  town  at  a  town  meeting  5  Dec,  1748."  p' 
263. 

"Capt  Samuel  Rust  was  chosen  Moderator  of  a  town 
meeting  18  Dec,  1749." 

•  It  Appears  that  in  thoae  days  when  a  highway  waa  laid  out  or  altered  an  ex- 
change of  lands  was  resorted  to  as  a  pleasant  mode  of  adjusting  the  claims  of 
those  whose  land  was  affisoted  therehy  and  thus  preserve  peaoe  in  flieoommnnity,

FIFTH  OEKBBAHOK.  77 

The  following  is  from  the  history  of  Carroll  county 
and  the  town  of  Wolf boro,  1890  : 

**Captain  Henry  Rust,  afterward  Colonel,  was  the  only 
original  proprietor  to  make  a  permanent  home.  His  lot 
of  600  acres  included  a  portion  of  Rust's  Pond  and  South 
Wolfboro  village.  He  began  improvements  in  1768  and 
for  some  years  passed  his  smnmers  here  with  his  two 
sons,  Henry  and  Richard.  He  built  a  log  house  which 
was  burned,  destroying  their  clothes,  provisions,  guns 
and  anmiunition.  One  winter  the  boys,  one  aged  four- 
teen, the  other  twelve,  remained  here  to  take  care  of  stock 
and  for  nine  weeks  saw  no  white  person.  Colonel  Rust 
was  appointed  Judge  of  Probate  for  Strafford  county  in 
1773,  and  was  for  many  years  a  kind,  obliging  and  lead- 
ing citizen.  He  was  firm,  fixed  in  his  opinion  but  con- 
scientious and  just.  When  sworn  in  Judge  of  Probate 
he  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  to  the  crown  and  after 
the  state  government  was  established,  considered  that 
oath  so  binding  as  to  reftise  to  take  one  of  allegiance  to 
the  state.     He  had  three  sons  and  four  daughters. 

"Col.  Rust  served  eight  years  as  selectman.  His  son, 
^enry  served  as  town  clerk  five  years,  and  as  representa- 
tive to  the  state  legislature  four  years.  His  son  Richard 
served  as  town  clerk  four  years  and  as  selectman  nine 
years.  His  son-in-law,  Matthew  S.  Parker,  served  as 
town  clerk  nine  years  and  as  selectman  six  years ;  and 
his  son-in-law,  Isaiah  Home,  served  as  town  clerk  four 
years,  as  selectman  four  years  and  as  representative  six 
years.  His  grandson,  Henry  Rust  Parker,  served  as 
selectman  seven  years.  His  grandsons,  Isaiah  Greene 
Ome  and  Charles  Belker  Ome,  served  as  selectman  each 
one  year.  His  grandson,  Thomas  Rust,  served  as  town 
clerk  two  years,  as  selectman  three  years  and  as  county 
justice.  His  grandson,  Henry  Bloomfield  Rust,  served 
as  selectman  one  year  and  as  representative  six  yeara. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  State  Senate,  counselor  and 
judge  of  common  pleas.  His  great-grandson,  Samuel 
S.  Parker  served  as  town  clerk  two  years  and  as  select- 
man one  year.  His  great-grandson,  George  Rust,  served 
as  selectman  two  years ;  and  his  great-grandson,  Alphonso 
H.  Rust,  served  as    representative  twice  and  counselor

twice.  John  H.  Rust,  a  great-great-grandBon,  has  been 
selectman  twice.  The  colonel  and  his  descendants  have 
held  the  office  of  town  clerk  twenty-six  times,  of  select- 
man, forty-five  times,  of  representative  eighteen  times 
since  the  organization  of  the  town." 

Col.  Henry  Rust  drew  his  land  by  lot  as  seen  by  the 
following  from  the  same  history. 

**The  early  settlers  of  Wolfboro  were  called  *Mason- 
ian  Proprietors. 

**  When  the  survey  of  the  township  was  made  by  Bry- 
ant in  1765,  he  estimated  the  neck  at  1200  acres,  and 
divided  it  in  two  lots  numbered  fifteen  and  twenty-four. 
The  former  was  drawn  by  Henry  Rust  and  the  latter  by 
John  Parker.  Subsequently,  when  an  actual  survey  of 
it  was  made  it  was  found  to  contain  only  547  acres.  In 
July,  1766,  the  whole  tract  was  confirmed  to  John  Parker 
and  it  was  voted  to  grant  to  Henry  Rust  as  much  land 
(out  of  the  1050  acre  tract  once  granted  to  Elisha  Bryant 
and  others  and  now  declared  forfeited)  as  would  make 
his  share  equal  to  one  of  the  other  proprietors.  600  acres 
were  laid  out  for  him,  which  was  really  a  very  valuable^ 
lot,  including,  as  it  did,  the  falls  on  the  outlet  of  Middle 
Pond  (now  Rust  Pond.) 

The  following  are  excerpts  from  the  same  history. 

**In  November  1773  tiie  proprietors  voted  to  raise 
thirty  pounds  lawful  money"  towards  building  a  meeting 
house  not  less  than  thirty  by  forty  feet  and  appointed 
Col.  Henry  Rust  and  Dr.  A.  R.  Carter  a  committee  to 
attend  to  the  matter. 

**At  the  annual  town  meeting  2,  9th  of  March,  1784,  the 
town  elected  five  selectmen,  the  only  time  in  its  history 
when  more  than  three  pei*sons  were  chosen.  They  were : 
John  Martin,  Richard  Rust,  Isaiah  Home,  William 
Lucus  and  Andrew  Lucas. 

'*In  March,  1786,  the  town  voted  to  constitute  a  com- 
mittee consisting  of  the  selectmen.  Col.  Henry  Rust  & 
Col.  Wm.  Cotton,  to  treat  with  the  proprietors  for  an 
exchange  of  the  ten  acre  lot  granted  for  public  purposes 
for  a  more  desirable  one.  Also,  to  raise  $100  for  clear- 
ing a  lot  for  a  meeting-house.

•*In  Sept.,  1786,  the  town  proprietors  offered  to  give 
in  lieu  of  the  thirty  pounds  promised  heretofore,  25000 
four  penny  nails,  15000  five  penny  nails,  10000  ten 
penny  nails,  3000  two  penny  nails,  30  gals,  of  West 
India  rum,  1  quintal  of  fish,  50  pounds  of  sugar,  50 
pounds  of  coffee,  8  lbs  of  tea  and  200  feet  of  glass  to- 
ward erection  of  a  meeting  house.  The  gift  was  accepted 
by  the  town  and  in  November  Henry  Rust,  Matthew  S. 
Rirker  and  Eben  Header  were  appointed  committee  to 
receive  the  articles. 

**It  is  not  known  that  the  town  enjoyed  the  ministra- 
tions of  any  religious  teacher  except  Mr.  Collins,  the 
teacher,  during  the  Revolution,  and  he  remained  but  a 
few  months.  In  1784,  Rev.  John  Allen  preached  some 
sermons,  and  in  1791,  Rev.  Mr.  Cushman  and  Rev.  Isaac 
Townsend  held  meetings,  and  a  large  proportion  of  the 
citizens  determined  to  settle  a  minister.  The  leader  of 
this  movement  was  Col.  Henry  Rust.  It  was  voted  to 
give  Mr.  Ebenezer  Allen  a  call,  and  a  committee  of  invi- 
tation was  appointed  consisting  of  Col.  Henry  Rust, 
Jokihua  Haines  and  many  more.  Mr.  Allen's  answer  was 
acceptable  to  the  meeting,  which  voted  that  Thursday, 
the  25th  day  of  Oct.,  1792  be  apppointed  for  the  ordina- 
tion of  Mr.  Allen,  and  Henry  Rust,  Jr.,  Richard  Rust, 
Reuben  Libby,  and  Stephen  Home  were  appointed  com- 
mittee to  extend  invitions  to  ministers  and  churches."  In 
the  presence  of  the  ordaining  council  the  following  signed 
the  constitution :  Henry  Rust,  Joshua  Haines  and  others. 

"The  year  following  the  organization  of  the  church, 
1793,  Henry  Rust  and  Andrew  Wiggin  were  appointed 
deacons.  Thus  Col.  Henry  Rust  was  the  first  deacon  in 
Wolfboro." 

Col.  Rust  removed  to  the  new  town  of  Wolfboro  from 
Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  where  he  had  formerly  resided,  in 
about  1768.  From  him  has  spread  the  numerous  Rusts 
of  that  part  of  the  state.  He  was  master  of  a  vessel, 
colonel,  judge  of  Strafford  county  and  a  farmer;  twenty- 
five  years  of  his  life  were  spent  as  a  sailor  before  he  set- 
tled at  Wolfboro.  "He  earned  and,  for  several  years 
before  his  death,  bore  the  title  of  *  Honorable.'" 

Col.  Henry  Rust  never  yielded  up  allegiance  to  royal

authority  and  never  acknowledged  our  republican  govern- 
ment and  would  never  accept  an  office  under  it.  He 
believed  that  as  he  had  once  taken  oath  of  allegiance  to 
the  crown,  he  could  never  consistently  recall  it. 

When  Col.  Rust  settled  on  his  land,  he  built  a  log 
house  at  the  head  of  the  pond  bearing  his  name.  He 
died  17  March,  1807,  upon  the  spot  where  now  grows  a 
beautiful  Lombardy  popple  and  an  elm  tree,  shown  in 
the  painting  presented  to  the  author  by  one  of  his 
descendants.  (See  131,  xi,  ii.)  This  land  he  divided  be- 
tween his  four  children,  and  a  large  part  of  it  still  re- 
mains in  possession  of  his  descendants. 

Their  children  were :

Dr.  Parker's  business  life  is  a  bright  example  of 
a  self-made  man.  His  stock  of  native  pride  and  per- 
severance was  ample  to  accomplish  the  good  work  it 
has.  Left  an  orphan  at  the  tender  age  of  twelve 
years,  with  absolutely  no  means  at  his  command,  his 
mind  at  once  seemed  to  grasp  the  situation  and  he

riXTH  GENERATION.  81 

immediately  devoted  himself  to  the  work  of  procar- 
ing  means  with  which  to  educate  himself  Through 
his  own  efforts,  hacked  hy  his  undaunted  energy,  he 
soon  acquired  sufficient  means  to  commence  a  course 
of  study  and  at  once  entered  the  academy  in  his 
native  town«  He  subsequently  became  tutor  in  the 
same  well-known  institution^  He  made  such  profi- 
denoy  in  his  studies  that  his  education  soon  became 
sufficient  to  enable  him  to  teach  and  he  took  the  high 
school  at  Farmington,  N.  H.,  which  he  taught  with 
creditable  success  and  satisfaction  for  six  years.  Dur- 
ing these  years,  Mr.  Parker  pursued  the  studies  of  his 
chosen  profession^  that  of  mediciae,  and  graduated 
from  the  medical  department  of  Dartmouth  College 
iQ  1866.  It  was  soon  observed  that  he  was  a  bright 
and  promising  member  and  he  at  once  took  a  promi- 
nent position  in  the  medical  profession.  In  his  regu- 
lar practice,  Dr.  Parker  soon  discovered  that  honesty 
and  discretion  were  necessary  elements  to  insure  suc- 
cess; he  possessed  both  in  a  high  degree  and  from 
that  time  forward  he  sought  to  cultivate  those  leading 
traits  of  character  requii^  to  make  a  wise  and  useftd 
citizen ;  he  soon  became  the  acknowledged  leader  in 
the  profession  in  Carroll  county,  nor  was  this  reputa- 
tion confned  altogether  to  his  county,  but  extended 
into  adjacent  counties.  In  1881  he  removed  to 
Dover,  N.  H..  where  his  practice  has  constantly  iu- 
creased  and  to-day  is,  alone,  quite  sufficient  to 
place  him  high  in  the  scale  of  worth  as  a  physician 
and  a  citizen.  Dr.  Parker  was  examining  surgeon  for 
pensions  for  Strafford  county  and  president  of  the 
board  of  examining  surgeons  for  the  same  county 
during  President  Cleveland's  administration.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Medical  Society  of  Dover,  the  Med- 
ical Society  of  Strafford  county,  and  the  Medical  So- 
ciety of  New  Hampshire.  He  was  recently  appointed 
a  trustee  under  the  will  of  Hiram  Barker  of  Farm- 
ington, N.  H.,  who  left  an  estate  of  about  $1,000,000. 
Nov.  26,  1890,  he  was  elected  Mayor  of  the  dty  of 
Dover,  on  the  democratic  ticket,  the  first  democratic 
Mayor  the  dty  ever  had,  although  the  oldest  settled 
town  in  the  state,  being  now  over  267  years  old. 
Through  his  indomitable  persevetence,  his  inherent 
honesty  and  ample  ftmd  of  intelligence.  Dr.  Paiicer 
has  plaoed  his  name  high  up  on  the  temple  of  fiune.

1796.  ** Henry  Rust,  Essex  St,,  Salem,  ward  1,  one 
store,  Henry  Rust,  Essex  St.,  Salem,  ward  3,  one  house." 
He  was  known  as  Capt.  Henry  Rust  of  Salem.  "The 
first  house  in  the  street  (Essex)  as  you  come  from  the 
west  end  of  the  lane  is  a  brick  store  built  in  1786,  by 
Henry  Rust  and  Benj.  Brown.  On  this  spot  formerly 
stood  the  court-house  which  was  built  in  1718  and  pulled 
down  in  1785.  On  the  N.  W.  comer  stood  the  old  town 
pump  immediately  by  Hawthorne.  On  County  St.  as 
formerly  known,  now  Eastern  or  Federal  street,  is  a 
house  owned  by  Mr.  Henry  Rust,  and  occupied  by  his 
son,  Capt.  Henry  Rust — ^The  Rust  house  has  been  moved 
easterly  some  feet  and  standing,  1864,  owned  by  the 
heirs  of  John  Grardner."  *  Henry  Rust  was  a  merchant 
in  Salem,  1796,  on  the  Main  St. ;  was  on  a  committee  in 
church. matters. t  In  1765,  Aug.  1,  Henry  Rust  and 
Benj.  Deland  bought  of  Thos.  Needham,  of  Marblehead, 
a  messuage  in  Salem,  consisting  of  a  building  and  about 
3-4  of  an  acre  of  land  in  that  piece,  the  whole  being  the 
"Governor's  Field,"  so  called  because  it  had  formerly  be- 
longed to  Gov.  Endicott.  "This  he  sebsequently  divided 
wlm  Benj.  Deland,  and  afterwards  added  to  this  lot  from 
time  to  time,  by  various  purchases,  until  he  had  become 
possessed  of  considerable  land  in  the  neighborhood ;  he 
sold  off  at  different  times,  after  the  town  had  laid  out  the 
lane  (recently  called  County  and  now  Federal  St.)  from 
the  'Goal,'  (now  Washington  St.)  From  this  lane  he 
opened  a  lane  in  1785,  or  earlier,  towards  the  North 
river,  (now  called  Rust  St.)

6000  acres  for  £450  continental  money.  The  date  of  the 
deed  is  1787.  Bounded  by  Paris  on  the  East,  Waterford 
on  the  west,  by  the  south  line  of  Lee's  grant  extended 
to  Waterford  line  on  the  north,  and  by  Nelson  and  Otis- 
field  and  a  small  gore  on  the  south  and  southwest.  The 
title  deeds  of  the  early  settlers,  several  of  whom  were 
squatters,  came  from  Henry  Rust.  Three  of  his  sons, 
Henry,  John  and  Joseph,  subsequently  settled  on  the 
purchase  and  became  influential  citizens  of  the  town  and 
county.''  On  page  27 ,  the  Norway  historian  says  :  "  Henry 
Rust,  Esq.,  of  Salem,  Mass.,  the  progenitor  of  Rustfield, 
belonged  to  one  of  the  old  and  respectable  families  of 
Essex  county,  Mass.  His  first  American  ancestor  was 
Nathaniel  Rust,*  who,  on  the  ancient  records  is  fre- 
quently styled  'Glover*  and  who  was  for  many  years  a 
resident  of  Ipswich,  Mass.  He  died  intestate,  23  Dec, 
1713. 

**Capt.  Henry  Rust  settled  Essex  county  people  on  his 
land  at  Norway  and  often  visited  it  in  the  early  times, 
coming  through   from   Salem  with  his  own   horse  and

chaise ;  his  first  visit  with  his  chaise,  in  1804,  was  the 
first  time  a  wheeled  carriage  had  been  seen  in  the  place ; 
he  built  a  summer  residence  on  Pike's  Hill ;  the  door 
step  was  cut  in  the  solid  rock  and  still  marks  the  site 
of  his  house.  He  was  very  kind  to  the  early  settlers, 
selling  them  land  and  taking  his  pay  in  labor  at  the  rate 
of  a  day*s  work  for  an  acre  of  land  till  each  had  a  home- 
stead of  his  own.  He  commenced  the  erection  of  a 
saw-mill  and  grist-mill  in  1789  ;  also,  later,  built  a  tan- 
nery and  store  in  order  to  facilitate  settlements.  He  is 
remembered  as  a  veiy  generous  man.  He  gave  land  for  a 
church  and  cemetery.  Among  other  things,  he  brought 
from  Salem  quite  a  lot  of  small  four-squared  windows  of 
six-by-eight  glass,  which  he  distributed  among  the  set- 
tlers, a  window  or  two  to  each.  This  was  a  valuable  pres- 
ent to  them  as  it  was  the  first  glass  known  in  the  place. 

*' In  1797  he  took  his  grandson,  Henry  Rust,  then  ten 
years  old,  to  spend  the  summer  with  him  in  Eustfield. 
They  rode  as  fer  as  Gloucester  in  a  carriage,  then  on 
horse-back,  the  last  twenty  miles  guided  only  by  spotted 
trees,  the  boy  riding  behind  his  grandfather." 

Appointed  Administrator  of  his  brother  John's  estate, 
6  Nov.,  1809. 

On  the  10  of  July,  1812,  he  wrote  his  will  which  was 
proved  5  Oct.,  1812.  He  gave  his  wife,  "Nabby,"  a  life 
estate  in  his  house  on  Rust  St.,  called  the  "Skew  house," 
and  an  income  of  $125  every  six  months ;  to  his  son

cents  on  the  dollar.  Dr.  Wallis  Rust  had  a  seal,  the 
head  of  Oalen,  which  is  still  in  possession  of  his  des- 
cendants. 

The  accompanying  illustration  is  a  very  faithful  deline- 
ation of  the  ancient  ''Rust  Mansion,"  in  Ipswich.  The 
following  history  of  this  ancient  building  is  from  the 
''Antiquarian  Papers."* 

"Mr.  Dowe,  this  month  pi-esents  us  the  ancient  house, 
which  stood  about  half  way  between  the  Town  Hall  and 
the  residence  of  the  late  Miss  Sally  Choate,  now  the 
office  of  Mr.  George  Haskall,  Esq.  For  many  years  its 
easterly  end  was  but  a  heap  of  ruins.  It  was  called  the 
'Rust  house'  and  the  'Foster  house.'  It  was  entirely 
taken  down  about  twenty  years  ago.  In  its  prime  it  was 
a  handsome  and  substantial  mansion.  Some  years  ago  a 
writer  in  the  'New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical 
Register'  (probably  Sir.  Hammatt)  thought  it  might 
have  been  me  first  house  built  by  Reginald  Foster,  which 
he  gave  to  his  son  Deacon  Jacob  Foster.  If  this  is  cor- 
rect, thehouse  was  built  about  1638. 

"It  was  occupied  by  Dr.  Samuel  Wallis,  a  conspicuous 
citizen  of  Ipswich,  who  died  in  1728. 

"Dr.  "Wallis  Rust  occupied  it  and  died  there,  Dec.  1, 
1792.  His  wife,  Abigail  (Jones)  Rust,  died  July  28,  of 
the  same  year. 

"It  was  owned  many  of  its  last  years  by  Fosters  and 
Rusts  of  Boston;  was  finally  sold  to  Mr.  Augustine 
Heard,  who  removed  it." 

Their  children  were :

foreign  prisoners  and  for  tories  from  this  and  other  pro- 
vinces, especially  New  York.  It  was  not  a  safe  place  of 
confinement  as  was  proved  by  the  notorious  Henry  Tufts 
and  others  having  made  their  escape  from  it.  A  guard 
had  to  be  famished  in  1777,  for  two  months,  when  it  was 
filled  with  prisoners,  to  keep  them  secure,  and  the  follow- 
ing Exeter  men  were  employed  in  that  capacity  :  Samuel 
Eust"  and  others,  "for  which,  for  2  mo.  service  he  was 
paid  £12  10s."  He  was  also  in  active  service  in  the 
Revolutionary  war  and  described  as  follows  :  twenty-nine 
years  old,  five  feet,  nine  inches  high  and  dark  com- 
plexion. He  was  Sergeant  in  Col.  Brown's  regiment,  in 
the  twenty-eight  days  service;  traveled  112  miles.* 
Nov.  6,  1795,  Samuel  Rust  and  Ruth,  his  wife,  of 
Exeter,  N.  H.,  deed  one-fifth  of  all  the  real  estate  "my 
honored  Grandmother,  Sarah  Rust,  widow,  late  of  Ips- 
wich, died  seized,  to  Nathaniel  Rust,  Cordwainer."  f  ft 
is  a  remarkable  fact  that  although  Samuel  had  nine  chil- 
dren, five  of  them  being  sons,  there  are  only  three  of  his 
descendants  living  who  bear  the  name  Rust,  two  grand- 
sons and  one  granddaughter. 

Their  children  were : 

i  Samuel,*  b.  20  Oct.,  1772 ;  d.  11  Jan.,  1798 ;  supposed  to 
be  son  of  his  father's  first  wife,  of  whose  record  we 
know  nothing. 

ii  Sarah,  b.  15  Sept.,  1776 ;  m.  James  Rnndlett,  of  Exeter ; 
d.  26  Mar.,  1866.  She  lived  a  widow  over  70  years ; 
had  a  remarkable  memory  for  names  and  incidents ; 
just  previous  to  her  death  she  related  an  incident  of 
her  early  life.  She  rode  from  Exeter  to  Sanbonmton, 
N.  H.,  alone  on  horse-back,  carrying  her  sister's  infimt 
son.  She  was  very  active  thronghout  her  long  life 
and  was  a  great  reader,  which  she  said  she  conld  not 
help  as  it  was  a  Bust  habit  Towards  the  latter  part 
of  her  life  her  sight  became  dimmed  bnt  her  mind 
was  unimpaired,  while  her  hearing  was  remarkably 
acute.  A  very  amusing  incident  is  related  by  her 
niece,  Mrs.  Ruth.  Berrian,  who  has  fkvored  the  author 
with  valuable  data.  The  week  before  the  death  of 
the  old  lady,  (she  died  of  pneumonia,  after  an  illness  of 
only  three  days,)  while  she  was  sitting  by  the  win-

of  two  people  who  were  at  work  there.  They  were 
talking  of  some  affair  that  had  recently  occurred  in 
the  town,  and  attracted  the  old  lady's  attention  and 
she  remarked  in  aa  undertone,  not  audible  to  the 
talkers,  <^  Well,  I  think  this  must  be  the  sixteenth  time 
I  have  heard  you  tell  that  story.  Now,  if  you  will 
toll  it  four  more  times,  so  as  to  make  it  the  twentieth, 
you  will  probably  both  know  it  by  heart"  This  was 
amusing,  coming  from  aa  old  lady  of  over  ninty.  It 
was  also  characteristic  of  the  vein  of  humor  always 
indidged  in  by  her.  She  remembered  well  when  the 
first  umbrella  was  carried  in  Exeter.  It  was  of  scar- 
let silk  aud  the  man  who  carried  it  over  him,  as  it  was 
raining  hard,  was  followed  by  a  crowd  of  boys  calling 
to  him,  '< Say,  mister,  are  you  made  of  sugar  or  salt?" 
She  said  it  was  not  long  before  they  came  into  use, 
but  being  expensive,  it  was  considered  a  luxury  to  be 
the  owner  of  one  aud  she  would  never  forget  the 
pride  she  felt  when  she  first  became  the  possessor  of 
aa  umbrella.  That  umbrella  she  preserved  with  great 
care  aud  it  is  now  in  the  possession  of  her  neice  Mrs. 
Ruth  Elizabeth  (Weed)  Berriau,  of  North  Andover. 
Married  at  twenty-two,  widowed  three  years  later, 
she  from  that  time  served  God,  not  as  Anna,  the 
prophetess  did,  with  fastings  aud  prayers,  but  in  faith- 
ful, loving  service  to  her  parents  aud  friends,  making 
herself  such  a  mother,  though  childless,  that  mauy 
children  ^*rise  up  even  now  to  call  her  blessed."

child  of  Jeremiah  and  Mercy  (Porter)  Fitch,  born  12 
Sept.,  1730.  Matthias  Rust  married  in  Coventry,  Ct., 
where  his  first  two  children,  Mary  and  Rebecca  were 
born,  from  there  he  removed  to  ancient  Windsor.  The 
Land  Records  of  Windsor  show  that  on  the  25  of  May, 
1752,  John  Searles  deeded  to  Matthias  Rust,  forty  acres 
of  land,  and  the  same  land  was  deeded  by  Matthias  Rust 
to  Joshua  Moore,  18  June,  1754.  The  Town  Records  of 
ancient  Windsor  show  that  Matthias'  third  child,  Phineas, 
was  bom  in  that  town.  From  thence  he  evidently  re- 
moved to  Norwich,  Ct.,  where  his  next  three  children 
were  bom,  after  which  he  removed  to  Mansfield,  Ct., 
where  his  last  daughter,  Mercy,  was  born ;  he  then  re- 
turned to  his  native  town,  Coventry  where  he  appears  to

have  remained  but  a  short  time  before  he  went  to  Yt.  and 
settled  permanently  at  North  Hartland,  which  his  descen- 
dents  lliink  was  about  1765.  Their  last  two  children 
were  bom  in  Hartland.  He  settled  near  the  mouth  of 
the  Quechee  river,  near  the  Hartford  line,  where  for  sev- 
eral years  he  had  charge  of  a  grist-mill,  built  and  owned 
by  Capt.  Oliver  Willard.  This  was  the  first  mill  in

KoTB.— Baat-BiiM.— MoBt  of  the  desoendantB  of  Matthias  Baat  hare  ohaiurad 
their  name  to  Bnaa,  which  memben  of  many  other  braoohea  have  also  done.  The 
following  will  interest  some  who  do  not  know  the  fact  of  the  change : 

QuxcHXK,  Tt.  y  April  19, 188B. 

A.  D.  Bust,  Dkab  EnvsiLiir:— Concerning  the  change  in  our  family  name, 
firom  Bnst  to  Buss,  I  will  say,  the  change  was  in  my  generation,  as  my  flkther 
always  spelt  It  Bust;  Phineas,  Sen.  spelt  it  Bust:  his  sons  were  Phineas,  Jr.. 
and  Levi;  Ijeyi,  the  father  of  Judge  Darius  Bnss,  spelt  it  Bnss,  but  I  do  not 
know  when  he  commenced  spelling  it  so.  The  children  of  Oliver,  Sen.  spelt  It 
Bass  as  long  ago  as  I  can  remember.  Four  of  Matthias,  Ben.  ,'s  children,  set- 
ttedinthis  Yloinity.  My  grandfather,  Lemuel,  Nial,  (fiither  of  Matthias,  Jr..) 
Phineas,  Sen.,  (father  of  rhineas,  Jr.,)  and  Lovi,  (father  of  Judge  Darius,)  all 
spelt  their  name  Bnst.  I  have  seen  the  head-stones  of  Matthias,  of  Coventry, 
and  it  is  spelt  Bnst  on  them.  Bespectfolly,  Asa  Buss. 

The  following,  nnder  date  of  March  28, 1879.  ftom  the  late  Hon.  William  M. 
Bust,  editor  of  the  "ProgresHve  Age**  Belfiast,  Me. ,  bears  npon  the  same  subject: 

''There  is  a  branch  of  the  Bnsts,  one  of  whom  is  Jonathan  Bnss,  lives  at 
Farmington  in  this  state.  He  may  have  sprang  ftom  the  same  Ipswich  family. 
He  spells  his  name  Bnss,  I  believe,  for  which  neither  he  nor  nnmerons  others  of 
the  original  fttmily  have  any  authority. ' ' 

In  Crowell's  History  of  Essex,  page  200,  appears  the  following: 

"1806,  Dec.  mh,  the  physician  of  this  parish,  Dr.  Parker  Buss,  died  in  the 
thirty-seventh  year  of  his  age.  Dr.  Buss  was  bom  in  this  place;  a  descendant  of 
'Master'  Bust,  the  first  school-teacher.  He  was  the  son  of  Joseph  and  Mary 
Bust." 

Mr.  Harry  Buss,  a  man  about  72  yean  old,  wrote  the  author  under  date  of 
June  20, 1887,  as  follows: 

'  'My  father,  Matthias  Buss,  wrote  his  name  Buss,  but  I  see  by  an  old  deed  of 
land  he  received  ftom  his  fkther,  (Nlold)  that  he  wrote  it  Bust. " 

Many  other  simUar  letters  have  been  received,  all  tending  to  show  that  Buss 
is  an  innovation  on  the  proper  name:  but  the  above  is  deemed  suillcient.  The 
author  has  found  but  very  few  named  Buss  whose  ancestors  came  to  this  conti- 
nent before  1700,  under  that  name.

marriage  is  not  recorded  in  either  Coventry,  where  he 
was  bom,  or  Alstead,  to  which  place  he  removed  and 
where  he  lived  and  died.  His  first  daughter,  Hannah, 
was  bom  in  ancient  Windsor,  Hartford  Co.,  Ct.*  "It  is 
quite  reasonable  to  suppose  that  he  was  married  there 
and  immediately  after  the  birth  of  his  first  child  removed

removed  thence  to  Alstead,  N.  H.,  where  he  bought  a 
"hill  farm"  in  the  south  part  of  town,  where  he  and  his 
son,  Daniel,  lived,  died  and  were  buried.  His  wife, 
Hannah,  also  died  at  Alstead.  The  following  is  an  ex- 
tract from  a  sermon  delivered  by  Rev.  Seth  Arnold,  pas- 
tor of  the  First  Congregational  church  in  Alstead,  on  the 
first  sabbath  in  Jan.,  1826  :  "Nathaniel  Rust  came  from 
Tolland  Co.,  Ct.,  in  Apr.,  1767.  He  married  Hannah 
Burroughs,  by  whom  he  had  two  sons  and  six  daughters. 
The  sons'  names  were  Nathaniel  and  Daniel.  Daniel 
Rust  still  lives  in  town  on  the  same  farm  which  his  father 
first  bought.  His  mother,  an  aged  widow,  living  with 
him,  has  resided  in  town  sixty-three  years,  longer  than 
any  other  woman  now  here."  Nathaniel  was  in  the  Rev-

and  pay  for  service.  J     He  was  in  Capt.  Wetherby's  Co.

Tviio  died  in  Ottawa,  Kansas,  at  6:15  p,  m.,  Wednes- 
day, Aug.  1, 1888.  The  immediate  cause  of  her  death 
was  colliquative  diarrhoea.  She  retained  her  faculties 
until  the  moment  of  dissolution.  Several  of  her  chil- 
dren and  grandchildren  as  well  as  her  husband  were 
with  her  at  the  time.  The  ftineral  services  were  con- 
ducted by  Rev.,  E.  C.  Boaz,  Methodist  clergyman. 
Her  remains  are  interred  in  lot  No.  2,  in  block  30, 
Highland  cemetery,  near  Ottawa,  Kansas.  ^Her 
death  was  a  peaceful,  triumphant  Christian  death  and 
her  last  moments  painless  to  all  appearauce."  He 
died  20  May,  1889.  He  removed  from  Mass..  to 
Nunda,  N.  Y.,  in  1817;  lived  in  EllicottviUe,  Cadiz, 
Great  Valley  and  Franklinville,  N.  Y.,  also  in  Milan 
and  East  Townsend,  Ohio. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  to  the 
author  from  Dr.  Staunton,  bearing  date,  March  17, 
1889: 

^I  have  voted  for  seventeen  presidents,  all  of  one 
political  stamp,  but  do  not  expect  to  vote  for  another. 
My  wife,  faithful  and  true,  just  fell  asleep  without 
one  sign  of  pain,  on  August  1, 1888,  at  6  p.  m.  I  did 
not  think  the  loss  would  be  so  great" 

His  was  a  tragic  death.  While  walking  along  Niath 
street,  on  his  way  from  the  residence  of  his  daughter 
Helen  to  that  of  his  daughter  Yiola,  in  Ottawa,  Kan- 
sas, at  8  o'clock  p.  M.,  Monday,  May  20, 1889,  he  was 
struck  by  an  engine  attatched  to  passenger  train  No. 
202,  running  at  a  high  rate  of  speed  on  ^e  Southern 
Kansas  Railroad,  and  was  instantly  killed.  His  re- 
mains were  interred  beside  those  of  his  wife,  in  High- 
land cemetery.

27  Feb.,  1794,  Patience  Lufkin,  of  Gloucester,  Rev. 
Daniel  Fuller  officiating.  He  was  a  master  mariner  and 
was,  together  with  his  brothers,  Samuel  and  John,  lost

NoTX.— ^Stephen  lived  near  Korwich,  Ot..  in  Poqnetaimol:,  and  when  a  lad, 
BUddenly  diaappeared .  This  was  probably  not  far  from  1776.  After  abont  twenty 
yean'  absence  tie  retnmed  but  only  for  a  short  visit.  He  had  been  captured  by 
the  Indians,  and  forced,  with  three  others,  to  ran  the  gauntlet.  He  was  the  only 
one  that  survived  this  ordeal.  An  old  Indian,  having  taken  a  fancy  to  him,  gave 
him  the  Indian's  prescription,  a  billet  to  bite  upon  when  tempted  co  cry  out  with 
pain.  This  enabled  him  to  pass  between  the  two  flies  of  tomahawks  and  receive 
their  blows  without  flinching.  His  courage  saved  him  and  gave  him  the  favor 
of  the  Indians.  He  afterwaras  became  a  leading  spirit  among  them.  It  is  said 
that  he  stood  in  such  great  fleivor  with  them  that  they  desired  him  to  marry  the 
chief's  daughter  which  he  refused  to  do.  After  his  return  to  his  own  people, 
when  asked  if  he  would  remain  with  them,  he  replied,  '  *The  Indians  are  good

His  widowed  mother  married  Rev.  Paul  Park,  of  Pres-

when  he  came  to  this  place  about  the  year  1788  and  suc- 
ceeded Dr.  Davis  as  the  physician  of  the  parish.  The

74  Henry*  {HenryJ^  John^*'  Jolrn^  Nathaniel^

1785,  Sally,  daughter  of  Nathaniel  and  Hannah  Archer, 
of  Salem,  bom  15  Jan.,  1764;  died  at  Norway,  Maine, 
4  Aug.,  1846. 

He  was  the  first  of  the  name  to  settle  permanently  in 
Norway.  He  was  known  as  Capt.  Rust,  haying  been 
master  of  a  ship,  preyious  to  settling  in  Norway,  en- 
gaged in  the  European  trade,  acting  in  both  the  capaci- 
ties of  captain  and  supercargo.  He  followed  this  occu- 
pation until  broken  in  health  from  extreme  exposure  and 
hard  work.  Once  Capt.  Eust  came  very  near  being  ship- 
wrecked on  our  coast  in  mid-winter,  himself  and  crew 
being  badly  frozen  and  just  escaped  death.  After  aban- 
doning a  sea-jhring  life  he  removed  to  Rustfield,  Maine, 
where  he  engaged  in  farming  and  manufacturing  of  vari- 
ous kinds  and  opening  up  his  ^ Grant"  to  settlers,  until 
his  death  which  occurred  in  Norway,  25  Aug.,  1820. 
This  sketch  is  rendered  imperfect  as  to  dates  by  tiie  loss 
by  fire  of  Capt.  Rust's  residence  which  contained  much 
valuable  record.  Capt.  Rust  was  treasurer  of  his  county 
thirteen  years  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  Henry.  In 
1803  he  became  the  proprietor  of  flie  town.     In  1805  he

that  Daniel,  the  oooper,  had  a  daughter  who  married  Adoniram  GkK)dhiie.

150  HENBY  RUST  AND  FAMILY. 

Essex  street  The  foDowing  statement  regarding  this 
renerable  old  lady,  is  from  the  Salem  News,  of  June, 
1890: 

^This  section  of  Massachnsetts  has  become  rather 
famous  for  old  people,  bnt  there  is  one  old  lady  in 
Salem  who  has  heretofore  escaped  the  paragraphers, 
and  whose  age  is  Touched  for  by  reliable  records. 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  M.  Proctor,  of  404,  Essex  street,  en- 
Joyed  the  distinction  of  celebrating  her  ninety-ninth 
birthday  anniyersary,  Tuesday.  She  has  always  been 
rather  reticent  about  mentioning  her  age,  and  so  have 
her  friends,  which  is  the  reason  it  has  not  been  gener- 
ally known  that  Mrs.  Proctor  was  the  oldest  person 
in  the  dty.  She  is  a  native  of  Salem,  and  was  the 
daughter  of  John  and  Nancy  Rust,  of  Ipswich.  She 
is  the  widow  of  Captain  Thomdike  Proctor,  a  man 
well  known  among  the  last  generation.  She  now  re- 
sides with  her  daughter,  Mrs,  Nathaniel  W.  Osgood. 
Mrs.  Proctor,  like  most  people  who  live  to  a  great 
age,  has  passed  a  quiet  life.  For  many  years  she  has 
devoted  much  of  her  energies  to  the  work  of  the 
Seaman's  Orphan  and  Children's  Friend  Society,  of 
Carpenter  street,  and  despite  the  advancing  weakness 
of  years  she  still  occupies  the  post  of  president  of  the 
organization.  Her  mind,  of  course,  is  still  bright, 
and  apparently  several  years  of  comfortable  existence 
are  before  her." 

After  her  decease  a  Salem  paper  gave  the  following 
notice  of  her : 

^Mrs.  Proctor  was  distinguished  for  her  love  for 
children,  and  for  upward  of  fifty  years  was  identified 
with  the  work  of  the  Seaman's  Orphan  and  Chil- 
dren's Friend  Society,  being  president  of  the  organ- 
ization at  the  time  of  her  death.  She  was  a  woman 
of  considerable  wealth  and  very  generous  to  every 
worthy  charity.  She  retained  her  faculties  to  a  re- 
markable degree  up  to  within  a  short  time  of  her 
death."

SIXTH  GENERATION.  163 

84  Bichard  Sutton'  (J^fatTianiel^  Nathaniel^*^  John^ 
Nathaniel^  Henry^)  was  bom  in  Ipswich,  12  Sept., 
1815;  married  first,  in  Middleton,  Ct.,  7  Aug.,  1841, 
Sarah  A.,  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Sarah  Hubbard,  bom 
in  Middleton,  Ct., —  June,  1820;  married  second,  in 
Morrow,  Ohio,  27  Oct.,  1875,  Elizabeth  A.,  daughter  of 
Josiah  and  Anna  Lownes,  born  in  Ellicott  Mills,  Md.,  8 
June,  1834. 

Doctor  Rust  is  the  only  living  member  of  the  family 
in  the  sixth  generation. 

A  silver  mounted  cane,  now  in  the  possession  of  Dr. 
Kust,  and  which  once  belonged  to  his  father,  bears  the 
following  inscription:  ^^ Nathaniel  Rust  bom  May  5, 
1755,  died  Mar.  26,  1822,  aged  66  years  10  months  and 
22  days.  R.  S.  Rust."  It  was  presented  to  Dr.  Rust 
by  his  cousin  Samuel,  son  of  Samuel  Rust.  At  that  time 
the  signature  was  ^^S.  Rust,"  but  after  it  came  into  the 
possession  of  Dr.  Rust,  he  added  the  ^*R.,"  thus  making 
his  own  initials. 

Richard  Sutton  Rust,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  is  one 
of  the  most  energetic,  enthusiastic  and  successful  minis- 
ters of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church,  and  in  the  varied 
official  positions  to  which  he  has  been  called,  has  ren- 
dered valuable  service  and  exhibited  rare  executive  ability 
in  the  administration  of  affairs  intrusted  to  his  care. 

He  was  bom  in  Ipswich,  Mass.,  Sept.  12,  1815.  His 
mother,  from  whom  he  inherited  many  of  his  traits  of 
character,  was  a  woman  of  deep  piety  and  superior  at- 
tainments, the  daughter  of  Richard  Sutton,  distinguished 
among  his  townsmen  for  integrity,  independence  and  in- 
telligence. He  was  left  an  orphan,  his  father  dying 
when  he  was  eight  years  old  and  his  mother  when  he  was 
ten,  leaving  him  no  patrimony  but  a  parentage  spotless 
and  revered.  One  of  his  uncles  gave  him  a  year's  school- 
ing, where  he  first  formed  a  taste  for  study  which  never 
forsook  him.  Another  uncle  gave  him  a  home  till  he 
was  fourteen,  during  which  time  he  was  compelled  to 
work  hard  upon  a  farm,  with  only  three  month's  school- 
ing each  winter.  He  was  then  appi'enticed  to  learn  a 
cabinet-maker's  trade,  and  at  the  end  of  three  years, 
yearning  for  school  and  more  congenial  pursuits,  pur-

chased  the  balance  of  the  apprenticeship  and  entered 
Phillips  Academy 9  Andover,  Mass.,  to  prepare  for  col- 
lege. While  at  Andover  the  distinguished  abolition  lec- 
turer, George  Thompson,  of  England,  visited  Phillips 
Academy  and  lectured  on  slavery  to  the  students.  With 
his  wonderful  eloquence,  wit  and  logic  the  students  were 
charmed,  and  a  large  number  of  them  became  abolition- 
ists and  formed  an  anti-slavery  society.  The  teachers 
were  displeased  at  this  action,  and  required  the  students 
to  leave  the  anti-slavery  society  or  the  academy.  Nearly 
one  hundred  of  them,  rather  than  give  up  their  principles 
and  rights,  left  the  school.  Some  went  into  the  anti- 
slavery  field  as  lecturers,  and  others  to  institutions  where 
freedom  of  thought  and  speech  could  be  enjoyed.  Young 
Rust,  with  several  others,  went  to  Canaan,  New  Hamp- 
shire, where  an  academy  had  been  established  upon  lib- 
eral principles  and  where  young  men  and  women  of 
color  were  allowed  to  enter  and  enjoy  the  advantages  of 
culture.  So  bitter  was  the  opposition  to  this  school,  be- 
cause it  extended  its  privileges  alike  to  all  without  dis- 
tinction of  color  that  the  mandate  went  forth  that  it  must 
be  broken  up,  and  the  farmers  in  the  vicinity,  with  a 
hundred  yoke  of  oxen,  drew  the  academy  more  than  a 
mile  out  of  town  into  the  woods  and  broke  up  the  school. 
Our  young  friend  finished  his  preparatory  studies  at  the 
Wilbraham  Academy,  and  in  1837  entered  the  Wesleyan 
University,  Middletown,  Ct.,  where  he  was  graduated  in 
1841,  and  received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Aits  in  1844. 
In  1859  he  received  the  honorary  degree  of  D.  D.  from 
the  Ohio  Wesleyan  University  at  Delaware.  While  in 
college  he  paid  his  expenses  by  teaching  and  lecturing 
winters.  He  was  one  of  the  first  anti-slavery  lecturers 
in  Connecticut,  and  in  New  Haven  county  was  mobbed 
repeatedly  for  his  lectures  against  slavery.  He  aided  the 
ladies  in  organizing  the  first  anti-slavery  feir  at  Hartford, 
and  published  for  that  occasion,  "Freedom's  Gift,"  a 
little  annual  of  anti-slavery  poems  and  prose.  The  great 
anti-slavery  struggle  reached  its  height  as  he  came  to  his 
manhood,  and  he  did  valiant  service  in  the  good  cause, 
and  was  a  pioneer  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church  in 
this  grand  conflict.     In  1842  he  was  principle  of  EUing-

ton  school,  Ct. ;  in  1843  he  was  principal  of  Middleton 
high  school ;  in  1844  he  joined  the  New  England  Con- 
ference of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church,  and  was 
stationed  at  Springfield,  Mass.,  and  in  1846  was  stationed 
at  Worcester,  Mass.  During  the  next  five  years  Mr. 
Rust  passed  through  one  of  the  most  interesting  periods 
of  his  life.  He  originated  and  published  the  ''American 
Pulpit ;"  was  transfen'ed  to  the  New  Hampshire  Confer- 
ence ;  was  principle  of  the  New  Hampshire  Conference 
Seminary  and  Female  College,  and  was  state  conmiis- 
sioner  of  common  schools  for  New  Hampshire  for  three 
years.  He  delivered  popular  lectures  on  education  all 
over  the  state,  awakened  the  deepest  interest  in  the 
schools,  assailed  with  wit,  sarcasm  and  invectives  the 
miserable  old  school-houses,  and  did  a  grand  work  in  in- 
troducing into  New  Hampshire  good  school-housea, 
teachers'  institutes  and  an  improved  system  of  common 
school  education. 

In  1859  Dr.  Rust  was  transferred  from  the  scenes  of 
his  early  struggles  and  triumphs  to  the  Cincinnati  Con- 
ference. The  name  and  character  of  the  man  preceded 
him  in  the  west  and  he  was  at  once  welcomed  to  active 
service  in  the  leading  enterprises  of  the  church.  He  was 
for  four  years  president  of  the  Wilberforce  University  at 
Xenia,  Ohio,  after  which  he  became  pastor  of  Morris 
Chapel,  Cincinnati,  when  he  was  elected  president  of  the 
Wesley  an  Female  College,  Cincinnati,  where  he  remained 
until  the  old  college  was  sold  and  vacated,  and  the  school 
was  suspended  until  the  new  college  could  be  erected. 
He  was  corresponding  secretary  of  the  Western  Freed- 
men's  Aid  Society,  and  in  connection  with  Bishop  Clark 
and  Rev.  Dr.  Walden,  aided  in  the  organization  of  the 
Freedman's  Aid  Society  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
church  in  1865,  and  for  the  last  twenty  years  has  been  its 
corresponding  secretary  and  has  discharged  its  duties 
with  such  efficiency  and  ability  as  to  meet  the  highest  com- 
mendation of  the  whole  church.  This  society  under  the 
administration  of  Dr.  Rust  has  established  and  sustained 
in  central  locations  in  the  South,  thirty  institutions  of 
learning,  styled  seminaries,  colleges  or  universities  for  the 
training  of  teachers  and  preachers  for  the  elevation  of

this  long  neglected  race,  so  lately  admitted  to  all  the 
rights  and  duties  of  American  citizens.  For  the  success- 
fol  management  of  this  important  educational  work,  the 
subject  of  this  sketch,  by  his  deep,  long,  life  interest  in 
this  people,  his  attainments  as  a  scholar,  his  previous  ex- 
perience as  an  educator,  and  shrewd  business  habits,  was 
pre-eminently  fitted,  and  the  results  achieved  by  this  so- 
ciety have  exceeded  the  highest  anticipations  of  its 
friends. 

Dr.  Rust  was  successful  as  a  pastor,  a  fine  writer  and 
an  impressive  preacher,  pre-eminent  as  an  educator,  pos- 
sessing great  power  over  the  young  of  awakening  them  to 
high  and  noble  purpose ;  and  there  are  but  few  men  in 
this  country  who  have  aided  in  educating  so  many  of  her 
youth  who  now  fill  important  positions  in  society  and 
wield  so  great  influence  for  Christ  and  the  right.  In 
his  boyhood  he  espoused  the  cause  of  the  slave,  labored 
for  his  emancipation;  and  his  mature  life,  attainments 
and  ample  means  are  consecrated  to  the  preparation  of 
this  emancipated  people  for  the  appropriate  discharge  of 
the  important  duties  imposed  upon  them  by  freedom,  so 
that  liberty  may  prove  a  blessing  rather  than  a  curse  to 
them.  As  a  Christian  philanthropist  he  has  done  his 
noblest  work  and  for  this,  by  a  gratefal  people,  will  he 
be  held  in  remembrance.— -The  above  is  from  the  Bio-

made  what,  in  those  days,  was  known  as  a  "pitch" — a 
new  settlement  in  the  wilderness.  This  pitch  was  made 
on  the  farm  now  (1888)  occupied  by  his  grandson,  Jere- 
miah Russ.  At  that  time  it  was  an  unbroken  wilderness 
but,  undaunted,  the  bold  and  hardy  pioneer  soon  erected 
a  comfortable  dwelling  about  twenty  rods  from  the  pres- 
ent more  comfortable  and  commodious  residence.  In 
this,  their  first  house,  all  of  their  children  were  bom, 
Eunice,  the  second  child,  when  in  the  full  vigor  and  love- 
liness of  youth  with  all  the  brightness  of  a  May  morning 
and  the  aspirations  of  a  fond  and  loving  daughter  and  af- 
fectionate sister  is  stricken  by  death.  In  the  house  where 
she  first  saw  the  light  of  day  she  closed  her  eyes  forever. 

After  his  son,  Thomas,  was  married  he  built  a  new  and 
more  commodious  residence,  after  which  Thomas  and  his 
wife  took  care  of  the  "old  folks."  Harmina  never  mar- 
ried. Her  home  was  with  her  only  brother,  Thomas, 
and  when  he  and  his  wife  became  aged,  their  youngest 
son,  Ira  M.,  cared  for  them  as  long  as  they  lived.     In

19  Mar.,  1845 ;  d.  at  tne  Queen's  Hotel,  Manchester,

ographer has  given  us  the  following  sketch  of  this 
noted  musician: 

^'Julius  Edson  Perkins  possessed  histrionic  mus- 
ical talent  in  a  very  marked  degree,  inherited  from 
his  parents  and  developed  to  great  artistic  excellence. 
His  musical  studies  were  commenced  in  Boston  at  the 
age  of  fourteen  and  continued  with  occasional  inter- 
ruptions, the  intervals  of  which  were  devoted  to 
teaching,  until  1867,  when  his  brother,  Henry  S.  fur-

nished  him  the  means  and  sent  him  to  Europe  to  con- 
tinue his  musical  studies  and  fit  himself  for  the  oper- 
atic stage.  One  year  was  spent  in  Paris  and  five  in 
Italy  studying  voice  and  dramatic  action,  with  the 
best  masters.  During  his  early  stupes  his  attention 
was  devoted  prindpafiy  to  the  piano  theory  and  com- 
position, in  which  departments  he  excelled.  After  ar- 
riving at  manhood  he  gave  his  attention  almost  en- 
tirely to  the  cultivation  and  developement  of  his 
voice,  which  was  classed  by  the  Italians  as  basso  pro- 
fwndo  assoluto.  In  profundity,  purity,  flexibility  and 
intensity  the  voice  of  J.  E.  Perkins  was  far  superior 
to  any  other  which  America  had  produced  up  to  his 
time  or  the  present  He  was  the  greatest  and  most 
profound  exponent  of  the  vocal  art  by  an  American  in 
Europe  and  the  only  native-bom  American  basso  in 
Italian  opera  who  had  achieved  success.  During  his 
studies  in  Italy  he  filed  several  operatic  engagements 
in  that  country  and  at  Warsaw  in  Poland,  meeting 
with  instantaneous  success.  In  1873  ho  entered  into 
an  engagement  with  Her  Majesty's  Royal  Italian 
Opera,  at  Drury  Lane,  London,  for  five  years.  After 
Col.  J.  H.  Mapleson,  the  operatic  manager  had 
shrewdly  secured  the  signature  of  Mr.  Perkins  to  the 
contract  at  Milan,  Italy,  an  operatic  impresario  from 
Constantinople,  offered  Col.  Mapleson  $20,000  for  his 
bargain^  after  hearing  his  magnificent  voice  in  La 
Scala  at  Milan.  Mr.  Perkins^  operatic  engagement 
commenced  in  London  with  the  season  of  1873.  Di- 
rectly his  artistic  greatness  was  acknowledged 
throughout  England  and  his  fame  came  to  America  to 
the  great  satisfaction  of  his  countrymen.  In  addition 
to  his  superior  musical  talents  and  acquirements,  he 
was  a  profound  student  in  mathematics,  philosophy, 
history  and  languages.  He  became  acquainted  with 
Marie  Rose  who  was  one  of  the  prima  donnas  of  the 
same  opera  company  when  his  engagement  com- 
menced. They  were  married  in  London  in  1874,  at 
the  close  of  the  operatic  season.  They  visited  Amer- 
ica during  that  summer  and  appeared  in  oratorio  con- 
certs given  by  his  brothers  Henry  S.  and  William  O. 
These  were  the  only  public  concerts  in  which  the 
great  American  basso  appeared  in  his  native  countr>', 
after  achieving  a  world-wide  reputation.  His  death 
was  regarded  both  in  England  and  America  as  a 
great  loss  to  vocal  art.  It  is  probable  that  there  never 
was  such  universal  mourning  for  the  loss  of  an  artist 
as  in  the  death  of  Julius  Edson  Perkins."  They  had:

tavern  keeper  and  former  in  Syracuse. 

Zebulon  Rust  had  the  reputation  of  being  rough  and 
rather  fast.  The  following  little  incident  related  of  him 
by  Charles  Rust,  his  nephew,  now  deceased,  will  illus- 
trate his  eccentric  character :  "'Zeb,'  as  he  was  famil- 
iarly called,  was  sick  and  Dr.  Furness,  the  family  physi- 
cian attended  him.      On  one  occasion  the  doctor  left  a

tions to  leave  a  memorandum  if  the  nurse  should  leave

The  memorandum  was  as  follows :  'Dr.  Fumess,  I  leave

Chauncy  Rust  removed  from  Southampton  to  Otisco, 
in  the  spring  of  1800,  his  wife  following  in  the  fall.  At 
this  time  Otisco  was  a  wilderness.  The  brave  and  loyal 
wife  and  determined  mother  rode  horseback  the  entire 
distance,  carrying  her  first  child,  a  small  babe,  with  her 
while  men  cut  out  the  brush  to  let  her  pasfe.  This  babe 
was  the  first  white  child  ever  in  Otisco.  For  several 
months  there  were  no  white  women  in  the  vicinity  and  she 
was  compelled  to  call  the  red-skin  women  her  neighbors. 
The  family  occupied  their  first  house  some  weeks  with 
no  roof  to  shelter  them.  ^The  first  public  religious  ser- 
vices ever  held  in  the  town  was  a  prayer-meeting  at  the 
residence  of  Mr.  Rust,  in  Sept.,  1800.  The  following 
names  appear  on  the  books  of  the  Otisco  Congregational 
church  as  members  1803  and  1804,  to-wit :  Lemuel  Rust, 
Azuba  Rust,  Aurelia  Rust,  Mary  Rust,  Esther  Rust  and 
Silence  Rust."     He  was  a  farmer.

He  was  christened  Henry,  but  in  1822  he  added  the 
middle  name,  ^Bloomfield,"  assigning  as  a  reason  that 
there  were  *'too  many  Henry  Rusts." 

Judge  Rust  was  very  widely  known,  and  wherever 
known  highly  esteemed.      He  always  resided  at  South

Wolfeboro,  was  a  gentleman  of  intelligence  and  integrity, 
of  strict  and  successful  business  habits,  of  rare  and  en- 
gaging social  qualities,  courteous  and  affable  to  all,  hos- 
pitable and  generous,  and  a  good  Samaritan  in  sickness. 
He  retained  his  faculties  to  a* wonderful  degree  until  the 
very  close  of  life. 

Some  estimate  of  his  public  character  may  be  found  in 
the  fact  of  his  having  served  in  many  offices  of  trust 
during  his  long  and  active  life.  In  1828,  he  was  elected 
to  represent  his  town  in  the  Greneral  Court ;  after  serving 
in  that  capacity  for  two  years,  he  was  elected  to  the  Sen- 
ate. In  1832,  he  was  appointed  one  of  the  associate 
judges  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  New  Hampshire,  which 
office  he  held  for  six  years.  In  1838-40  he  was  in  the 
Legislature  again.  In  1840-42  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Council.  In  1846-7  and  1852  he  was  again  a  member 
of  the  State  Legislature.  All  of  these  offices  he  filled 
with  honor  to  himself  and  satisfaction  to  his  constituents. 

'^In  early  life  Judge  Rust  espoused  the  doctrine  of  Uni- 
versalism,  a  faith  cherished,  loved  and  exemplified  by  an 
upright  life  and  whose  sustaining  power  he  found  suffi- 
cient to  cheer  and  support  the  soul  as  it  entered  the  val- 
ley of  the  shadow  of  death." 

Mr.  Rust  was  one  of  the  few  remaining  of  the  old 
school,  polite  in  real  kindness  of  heart  and  hand,  and 
many  outside  the  large  circle  of  his  inmiediate  relatives 
and  descendants,  will  sigh  with  regret  at  the  passing 
away  of  another  long  familiar  landmark  of  the  best  old 
days  gone  by.  His  wife  outlived  him  several  years. 
April  13,  1888,  she  celebrated  her  nintieth  anniversary 
at  South  Wolfeboro  and  forty-six  days  later  her  life  on 
earth  was  finished.  She  was  respected  and  esteemed  by 
a  large  circle  of  friends.  Many  a  person  in  trouble  and 
poverty  has  known  her  word  and  deed  of  sympathy. 
For  many  years  she  was  a  firm  Universalist,  "believing 
all  life  hei*e  and  hereafter  is  through  Christ,"  which  were 
her  last  words  on  religious  topics.  The  last  rites  were 
paid  her  at  her  late  home,  June  1,  1888.  W.  H. 
Trickey,  of  Tufts  College,  spoke  words  of  sympathy 
and  comfort.     Many  beautiful  floral  offerings  showed  the

tender  feelings  of  relatives  and  friends.  ^She  lived  not

son's Belfast"  says  3  Nov.,  1843,  aged  seventy-live 
years.  He  was  a  merchant,  ship-builder  and  farmer; 
commissary  and  major  in  the  army. 

He  owned  the  first  store  ever  opened  in  Belfast,  being 
one  of  the  first  settlers  there. 

Below  are  a  few  items  which  were  taken  from  the  His- 
tory of  Belfast :

238  HENBY  BUST  AND  FAMILY. 

*^  Major  John  Russ  was  one  of  the  many  hardy,  strong- 
willed,  enterprising  men,  who  came  here  to  build  up  a 
home  in  the  comparative  wilderness  in  the  early  part  of 
the  present  century.  He  was  at  one  time  extensively  in- 
terested in  real  estate  in  the  village,  and  in  navigation. 
At  the  commencement  of  the  war  of  1812  he  was  the 
sole  or  principle  owner  of  a  brig  just  launched.  She  lay 
in  the  dock  westerly  of  the  railroad  wharf  until  the  close 
of  the  war,  at  a  heavy  loss  to  her  ,owner.  The  wharf 
which  stood  near  the  dock  belonged  to  him  and  was 
known  as  long  as  it  remained  there  as  ^^Russ's  Wharf." 
The  precise  year  when  he  removed  his  residence  and  bus- 
iness to  the  locality  now  known  as  City  Point  is  not  re- 
membered. Prior  to  his  removal,  it  was  known  as  Clary's 
Point ;  afterwards  and  for  many  years  as  Russ's  Point. 

He  was  a  man  of  great  muscular  power  but  never  ex- 
ercised it  to  the  detriment  of  his  fellow  men.  He  was  a 
man  of  humor,  but  his  mirth  was  never  boisterous.  His 
wife  was  the  daughter  of  Major-General  George  Ulmer, 
one  of  the  prominent  men  of  this  section  of  the  country 
in  the  early  part  of  the  century. 

Their  children  were :

tract fh)m  the  obituary  notice  in  the  Evening  QazettCy 
of  that  city,  of  Feb.  17,  1891 : 

«The  death  of  Mrs.  Mary  Rust,  wife  of  Henry  N. 
Merrill,  Esq.,  residing  at  No.  80,  Lincoln  Ave.,  was,  to 
many,  the  sudden  and  unexpected  announcement  of 
this  morning,  while  to  those  holding  nearer  relations 
of  acquaintance  and  association  it  may  not  have  been 
80  entirely  an  unexp*ected  event,  but  it  was  to  all  a 
blasting  and  crushing  of  fond  hopes  of  longer  life  in 
store  for  her.  Some  time  since,  a  deep  bereavement 
came  upon  her  in  the  loss  of  an  only  son,  and  that, 
added  to  severe  bodily  ills,  bore  heavily  upon  her  un- 
til the  end  came  and  at  last  quite  suddenly.  She  was 
a  native  of  Maine,  but  had  resided  here  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  thirty-five  years,  during  which  time  Mend- 
ships  had  been  formed  and  associations  had  grown  up, 
the  sundering  of  which  will  be  painftil  and  afliictive. 
Those  who  have  counted  her  as  a  member  of  their 
circle  of  association  will  long  and  fondly  cherish  her 
memory,  and  will  deeply  sympathise  with  her  afflicted 
companion." 

Mrs.  Morrill  became  very  much  interested  in  this 
work  and  contributed  considerable  data  of  her  line. 

They  had:  i  Harry  Ru8t,»  (Merrill)  b.  18  Nov., 
1867.  In  1888  he  was  a  student  in  Harvard  College. 
He  was  a  young  man  of  bright  intellect  and  great 
promise.  He  was  not  in  good  health.  He  visited  his 
parents  at  their  home  in  Riverside  and  as  he  took  his 
departure  for  his  studies  at  Harvard  he  was  suddenly 
attacked  with  hemorrhage.  He  was  placed  in  a  car- 
riage, but  before  he  could  reach  his  father's  residence, 
the  life  of  a  promising  and  only  son  had  passed  away.

loved  her  family  and  did  her  full  part  to  render  each 
member  of  it  happy  and  when  the  death  angel  came  she 
was  ready  to  obey  without  a  murmer. 

Mr.  William  W.  Rust  was  considered  a  good  neighbor, 
a  kind  husband  and  an  affectionate  father.  For  several 
years  he  had  patiently  waited  for  the  silent  boatman  to 
carry  him  over  the  river  where  loved  ones  had  gone  be-

ordinary  ability.  Bom  in  a  new  and  comparatively  un- 
settled country,  his  opportunities  for  an  education  were 
very  limited.  However  through  the  zeal  and  indomitable 
energy  of  his  parents  he  was  enabled  to  attend  the 
country  school  and  learned  his  first  lessons  while  sitting 
upon  the  slab  bench.  As  he  grew  into  manhood  his 
time  was  divided  between  hard  labor  on  a  new  farm  and 
the  school  room  until  he  had  acquired  a  first-rate  com- 
mon-school education,  and,  while  he  never  taught  school 
as  a  vocation  the  children  and  young  folks  of  the  neigh- 
borhood "went  to  'Jake'  to  help  them  out  in  arithmetic.** 

He  remained  with  his  father  on  the  new  farm  until  it 
was  cleared  up  and  several  years  after  he  had  attained 
his  majority  and  finally  the  property  was  willed  or  given 
to  a  younger  brother  who  had  never  aided  in  making  it  a 
farm. 

In  early  life  he  became  interested  in  politics  and  took 
a  very  active  part  in  the  ^campaign  of  1840  in  favor  of 
Van  Buren.  Being  very  proud-spirited  he  was  made 
sore  by  the  defeat  of  "his  man*'  and  the  election  of  Har- 
rison. He  was  one  of  the  best  posted  men  of  his  day, 
particularly  on  political  and  religious  subjects.  When 
the  author  visited  his  native  state  in  1889,  several  of  the 
former  associates  of  Mr.  Rust  in  his  early  life  made  the 
remark,  "Jake  Rust  was  the  best  posted  man  in  this 
country." 

Though  possessed  of  a  stainless  character,  sterling  in-

not  a  successful  man  in  business  matters,  but  there  was 
much  that  came  not  to  the  knowledge  of  the  world  to  ac- 
count for  it.  Few  men,  attaining  the  age  of  sixty  years, 
ever  encounter  the  constantly  recurring  obsticles  and 
barriers  that  came  in  his  way.  At  twenty-five  he  was 
thrown  from  a  sleigh,  resulting  in  a  physical  disability 
from  which  he  never  recovered  and  which  rendered  him 
an  easy  prey  to  the  tortures  .of  rheumatism.  Once  he 
was  suddenly  left  penniless  among  strangers,  with  a 
large  family  to  care  for,  under  the  most  trying  circum- 
stances, and  thus  one  adversity  succeeded  another  until 
the  culminating  point  was  reached  when  the  entire  family 
was  stricken  with  that  loathsome  scourge,  the  small-pox, 
from  which  one  daughter,  the  youngest,  died.  One  son 
left  his  home  at  the  promising  age  of  16  years,  never  to 
return.  One  daughter,  just  blooming  into  the  loveliness 
of  womanhood,  was  called  from  earth  by  the  dark-winged 
messenger.  A  child  of  the  oldest  daughter  who,  with 
her  husband  at  that  time  constituted  a  part  of  the  family, 
died.  Through  all  these  trials  and  afflictions,  Mr. 
Rust  bore  up  and  continued  his  struggle  for  a  clear  sky. 
Meanwhile  he  never  forgot  to  bestow  his  affection  and 
tender  care  bountifiiUy  upon  his  faithful  companion,  or 
his  parental  care  upon  his  children.  His  children,  mind- 
ful of  his  cares  and  affection,  remember  with  pleasant 
thoughts  the  paternal  love,  the  faithful  instruction,  the 
rigid  discipline,  the  constant  care  and  the  unlimited  inter- 
est he  had  in  and  for  them. 

No  man  could  be  more  honest  or  true,  and  few  try 
harder  to  live  an  exemplary  Christian  life  than  he. 

After  leaving  the  homestead  Mr.  Rust  went  into  a 
flouring  mill  in  North  Danville,  at  which  business  he  con- 
tinued for  fifteen  years.  In  1844  he  removed  with  his 
&mily  of  eight  children  to  the  west.  Illinois  being  the 
objective  point  where  he  expected  to  locate  and  with  his 
family  of  sons  make  a  new  home  in  that  then  new 
country.  On  his  airival  at  Beaver,  Pa.,  he  was  obliged 
to  remain  a  few  days  before  proceeding ;  while  here  the 
calamities  above  noted  overtook  him.  After  two  years' 
sojourn  in  Pennsylvania  he  returned  to  Ohio  where  he 
had  tarried  with  his  family  when  he  first  I'emoved  from

Vermont ;  here  he  remained  until  the  fiftll  of  1851  when 
he  removed  to  Michigan  and  purchased  property  in  Win- 
field,  Montcalm  county,  where  he  made  a  very  pleasant 
home  and  where  he  resided  until  26  July,  1861,  when  he 
died.  Nice  marble  headstones  mark  the  spot  of  his  last 
resting  place  in  Winfield,  Michigan.

The  holieet  thing  alive."

of  goodness  it  suggests — ^love,  affection,  purity.  The  in- 
fluence of  a  true  mother,  as  transmitted  to  her  off-spring, 
is  never  lost,  never  diminished.  To  the  author  the  word 
*' mother"  defines  all  goodness,  love  and  purity.  The 
subject  of  this  sketch,  the  author's  mother,  has  been,  by 
no  means,  a  creature  of  circumstances  of  a  character  to 
render  her  specially  superior  to  other  good  mothers,  but 
she  certainly  has  been  a  creator  of  such  circumstances 
and  means.  Wrestling,  sometimes,  with  most  extreme 
adversity,  she  looked  it  serenely  but  defiantly  in  the  fiice 
with  never  a  thought  of  discouragement.  She  was  bom 
with  a  mighty  fund  of  courage,  pride  and  modesty,  and 
yet  if  bravery  can  grace  a  female  character,  she  was 
brave.  She  has  lived  for  her  children  and  family,  and 
while  she  had  enough  to  do  to  keep  them  so,  yet  when 
young  they  were  always  neat  and  whole  dressed,  or,  if 
not  whole — clean  patched  and  polite.  Sometimes  while 
her  husband  was  trying  to  hew  out  a  home  in  the  Green 
Mountains  of  Vermont,  or  later,  in  the  new  west,  the 
'*wolf"  came  nigh  and  then  the  dear  mother  put  into 
practical  operation  the  maxim,  "Necessity  is  the  mother 
of  invention,"  and  food  and  raiment  came,  but  from 
whence,  the  innocent  objects  of  a  mother's  love  and 
pride,  knew  not.

SEVENTH   GENERATION.  257 

Mrs.  Marinda  (Allen)  Rust  was  endowed  with  a  great 
degree  of  ntioral  courage,  deep  piety  and  a  disposition  to 
"do  or  die"  in  rearing  children  of  whom  she  might  be 
proud  when  her  office  work  was  past.  How  well 
she  has  succeeded,  the  love  her  children  bear  her  will 
attest.  It  may  be  excusable  in  the  author  to  say,  that, 
if  her  pride  in  her  children  exceeds  that  of  theirs  in  their 
mother,  it  is  simply  indescribable.  For  a  woman  she 
possesses  rare  executive  ability  and  her  capability  for 
business  seems  to  grow  with  her  years ;  even  now,  when 
past  eighty-three  years  of  age,  her  watchful  eye  is  always 
on  the  alert,  and  a  good  opportunity  for  a  bargain  rarely 
escapes  her  attention ;  she  insists  on  superintending  all 
of  her  own  aflTairs  when  moving,  building,  traveling,  etc., 
and  seems  to  have  a  burden  that  others  will  tire,  with  no 
thought  of  herself.  On  one  occasion,  when  she  was  past 
eighty,  the  writer  was  assisting  her  up  a  long  flight  of 
stairs  to  his  office ;  when  about  half  way  up,  fearing  that 
it  might  weary  the  old  lady,  he  said  to  her,  "Mother,  we 
had  better  rest  a  moment."  She  looked  up  into  his  face 
with  an  expression  of  sympathy,  and  instantly  inquired, 
"Why,  are  you  tired?"  At  one  time  when  she  was  only 
seventeen  years  old  she  was  left  in  charge  of  her  young- 
est brother  and  sister  during  the  night.  About  midnight 
she  awoke  to  find  the  house  on  fire  ;  with  her  characteristic 
presence  of  mind,  and  bravery  coming  to  her  relief,  she 
went  deliberately  to  work  bringing  water,  and  after  a 
hard  struggle  succeeded  in  extinguishing  the  flames 
which  had  reached  to  the  ceiling  overhead  and  extended 
half  way  across  the  room.  When  about  nine  years  of 
age,  her  baby  brother  was  taken  violently  ill  in  the  night 
time.  Her  &ther  being  away,  she  was  the  oldest  at 
home  except  the  mother,  and  though  a  mere  child,  she 
was  dispatched  for  help  to  the  nearest  neighbor's,  which 
was  quite  a  distance  away  and  where  she  arrived  at  two 
o'clock  in  the  night.  The  road  was  all  ice  and  she  could 
only  make  progress  by  supporting  herself  by  the  fence 
and  feeling  her  way  along.  When  she  was  sixty-five 
years  old  she  visited  Chicago  and  went  to  the  top  of  the 
tower  of  the  city  water  works,  about  200  feet  high.  In 
1877  she  removed  to  Texas  from  Michigan  and  when  rid-

ing  in  a  wagon  near  Fort  Worth,  on  the  day  she  was 
seventy  yeara  old,  she  deliberately  jumped  to  the  ground 
while  the  wagon  was  in  motion.  When  nearly  sixty-five 
year  old  she  sustained  a  painfiil  and  serious  injury  in  be- 
ing thrown  from  a  buggy,  breaking  her  left  arm  in  such 
a  manner  as  to  disable  her  so  that  for  more  than  a  year 
she  was  not  able  to  dress  or  undress  herself  and  she  has 
never  entirely  recovered  from  it.  She  has  been  a  widow 
over  thirty  years.  She  resides  in  Dallas,  Texas,  with 
her  youngest  child,  Emory  G.  Rust,  whose  care  and  at> 
tention  towards  her  is  evidence  of  his  attachment  to  and 
love  for  his  mother,  and  no  daughter  could  be  more 
thoughtful  and  attentive  to  an  own  mother  than  his  wife 
has  been  to  the  subject  of  this  sketch.  On  Christmas, 
1887,  there  was  a  re-union  (the  first  in  thirty-seven 
years)  of  all  the  living  members  of  her  family,  five  sons 
and  a  daughter.  The  meeting  was  at  the  home  of  her 
son,  Alfred  B.  Rust,  in  Dallas. 

She  is  a  remarkably  conscientious  and  truly  devoted 
Christian  woman.  She  is  never  boastful  but  alludes  with 
some  pride  and  much  joy  to  a  work  which  she  was  instru- 
mental in  accomplishing  when  about  fifteen  years  old. 
At  that  age  she  was  turned  to  God  through  the  preaching 
of  her  father's  uncle.  Rev.  Robert  Allen.  It  was  her 
practice  to  offer  her  prayers  in  the  garden,  and  on  such 
occasions  she  never  forgot  her  parents,  who,  at  that  time, 
were  neither  of  them  professors  of  religion.  On  one  oc- 
casion her  father  chanced  to  take  a  seat  by  the  open  win- 
dow that  looked  into  the  garden  when  Marinda  was  pray- 
ing and  hearing  the  prayer  he  inquired  of  his  wife  who 
it  was  and  was  told  that  it  was  Marinda.  Two  or  three 
years  later  Mr.  Allen  was  converted  and  turned  to  the 
service  of  God  with  great  earnestness.  The  effect  of  the 
prayer  of  his  daughter,  as  related  by  himself  years  after- 
wards, is  as  follows  :  "When  my  daughter,  Marinda,  took 
us  to  the  Lord  in  the  arms  of  her  faith  and  told  him  that 
our  heads  would  soon  be  blossoming  for  the  grave  and  we 
were  without  hope  and  without  God  in  the  world,  that 
moment  an  arrow  of  conviction  struck  my  heart  and  it 
was  never  removed  until  removed  by  the  blood  of  Jesus, 
two  or  three  years  later."     Both  parents  commenced  the

SEYEKTH  GENERATION.  259 

earnest  service  of  the  Lord  about  the  same  time,  and  that 
same  earnest  service  never  grew  less  as  long  as  their 
lamps  held  out  to  bum.  Her  father  died  aged  ninty-five 
years  and  it  is  said  that  for  forty  years  just  previous  to 
his  death  he  never  failed  for  a  single  day  to  offer  prayer 
to  God. 

Her  interest  in  this  work  has  been  great  and  the  author 
is  indebted  to  her  influence  and  the  liberality  of  her 
purse  for  the  steel  plate  of  himself  herein. 

She  enjoys  a  good  degree  of  health  and  retains  her  fac- 
ulties remarkably  well.  No  mother  ever  lived  more  in 
the  sunlight  of  the  love  of  her  children  than  she.

Bisbee,  b.  in  Springfield,  12  July,  1825.  John  Bisbee 
excelled  in  the  mechanic  arts  and  possessed  unusual 
ingenuity.  While  a  mere  lad  he  learned  the  trade  of 
shoe-making,  but  soon  after  his  marriage  he  naturally 
took  up  the  gunsmith  business  which  he  followed 
with  success  for  several  years.  He  was,  later  in  life, 
associated  with  his  brother,  Albert  Bisbee,  in  the  pho- 
tograph business  in  Ohio.  In  1850  the  gold  excite- 
ment took  him  to  CcJifomia,  but  he  returned  in  about 
one  year  and  again  engaged  in  the  gunsmith  business.

and  promising  boy.  From  the  day  he  enlisted  nntil 
he  died  he  was  not  in  the  field ;  his  feeble  constitn- 
tion  was  illy  calculated  for  a  soldier's  life.  He  was  in 
hospital  nearly  the  entire  time  of  service.  His  death 
was  in  many  respects  unusually  sad ;  he  died  far  from 
relatives  and  native  land,  with  no  kindred  eyes  from 
which  to  gather  one  single  ray  of  sympathetic  warmth 
while  his  soul  was  struggling  to  free  itself  from  its 
cold  tenement  of  clay.  He  was  proud  of  the  privi- 
lege to  serve  his  country  but  was  shorn  of  every 
opportunity  to  demonstrate  the  bravery  and  heroism 
that  he  possessed.

amiable  disposition  and  fondness  for  her  widowed 
mother  rendered  it  hard  for  the  mother  to  give  her 
up,  and  doubly  so  as  she  was  the  only  daughter  at

18  Nov.,  1809;  mandcd  1831,  Susan  Spillers,  born  19 
Jan.,  1813.  He  died  of  heart  trouble,  while  alone  in  a 
small  boat  out  at  the  mouth  of  Parker  river,  1  June, 
1889. 

Mr.  Rust  lived  a  half  score  of  years  beyond  the 
allotted  age  of  man.  He  lived  to  enjoy  the  world  that  he 
had  made  better  by  having  lived  in  it,  and  saw  an  inter- 
esting family  of  children  become  ornaments  of  society 
and  themselves  raise  families  to  be  proud  of.  One  half 
of  his  children  crossed  the  river  before  he  died. 

The  following  is  a  newspaper  report  of  his  sad  death. 

"William  Rust,  aged  eighty  years,  an  esteemed  citizen 
of  this  town,  was  found  dead  in  a  boat  at  the  mouth  of 
Parker  river  yesterday  afternoon.  Saturday  morning 
Rust  sailed  down  Ipswich  river  after  a  load  of  hay  and 
during  the  forenoon  was  seen  at  Lobster  Rocks  loading 
his  boat.  Not  returning  in  the  afternoon,  his  friends  be- 
came anxious  regarding  his  safety,  and  later  their  fears 
were  intensified  by  the  announcement  of  Joseph  Hoyt, 
who  lives  at  Great  Neck,  that  he  had  seen  an  empty  boat 
drifting  up  Parker  river.  Searching  parties  were  organ- 
ized, but  Saturday  night  and  Sunday  forenoon  passed 
without  any  result.  A  number  of  small  boats  went  al- 
most to  Newburyport  and  after  a  long  search  found  the 
lost  boat  this  afternoon  about  a  mile  below  the  old  town 
bridge.  When  they  reached  the  boat  they  were  horrified 
to  find  the  dead  body  of  Mr.  Rust  in  the  bow.  The 
body  was  brought  to  this  town  and  Medical  Examiner 
Tucker  viewed  the  remains  and  decided  that  death  was 
caused  by  heart-disease.  Mr.  Rust  leaves  three  children, 
Mrs.  John  Glover,  John  Rust,  of  Boston,  and  a  daughter. 
He  was  a  Mason  and  an  Odd  Fellow,  both  of  which  soci- 
eties will  participate  in  the  funeral  services."

168  Isaao^  {Simeon^  Simeon^  NafhamAel^^  Naihcm-

1795 ;  married  in  Kaskaskia,  HI.,  16  March,  1826,  Miss 
Annie  Densmore  Cochran,  bom  7  Oct.,  1803 ;  died  26 
Aug.,  1866.  He  was  a  wagon-maker  and  former;  died 
in  Chester,  111.,  1  Nov.,  1878. 

Mr.  Isaac  Rust  was  only  about  seventeen  years  old 
when  he  entered  the  U.  S.  service  in  the  war  of  1812, 
with  Great  Britain.  After  the  close  of  the  war  he 
^*  shipped,"  spending  several  years  on  the  high  seas.  In 
1819  he  left  the  sea  at  New  Orleans,  La.,  and  made  the 
entire  trip  from  New  Orleans  to  Randolph  county,  HI.,  in 
a  barge,  up  the  Mississippi  river.  This  consumed  about 
three  months.  He  remained  in  that  vicinity  until  1824, 
when  he  again  tried  sea-faring  and  continued  to  sail  for 
about  two  years  more,  when  he  returned  to  Illinois  and 
settled  for  Ufe,  where  he  married  and  resided  until  1866, 
when  his  wife,  with  whom  he  had  lived  happily  many 
years,  passed  away.  She  suffered  an  attack  of  the  palsy 
and  after  lingering  about  six  years,  she  passed  over  the 
dark  river  of  death. 

Mr.  Rust  was  a  good  and  pure  man  and  enjoyed  the 
confidence  of  all  who  knew  him.  He  was  elected  school 
treasurer  at  the  organization  of  his  town  in  1829  and 
held  that  office  until  he  died.  Politically  he  was  a  Re- 
publican; very  succussftil  in  business  matters;  was  a 
man  ftiU  of  tender  sympathy;  besides  his  own  lar^e 
family  he  brought  up  and  educated  several  orphan  chil- 
dren and  gave  tiiem  homes.  His  parents  both  died  when 
he  was  quite  young  and  he  knew  no  restraining  influence 
save  that  of  his  uncle  John  Huston,  under  whose  care  he 
was  brought  up.

V  Abel  Alanson,  b.  in  R,  17  Dec,  1830.  He  promptly  re- 
sponded to  his  country's  call  and  enlisted  in  the  Fed- 
eral army,  1861  and  fell  17  June,  1864,  in  the  battle 
before  Petersbnrgh,  Virginia. 

Sergeant  Abel  A.  Rust,  a  true  reproduction  of  his 
grandfather,  Sergeant  Abel  Rust's  manhood  and  loy- 
alty and  his  name-sake,  gave  his  life  for  his  country's 
cause.  He  belonged  to  Co.  M.  2d  N.  Y.  Artillery

listed  at  their  country's  call,  none  did  so  with  purer 
motives  than  he.  The  love  of  country  triumphed 
over  the  strong  ties  of  home  and  its  endearing  influ- 
ences. 

Slowly,  day  by  day,  the  time  for  his  return  grew 
less  to  his  Mends  at  home,  until  the  time  had  almost 
arrived,  when  simultaneously  with  the  news  that  he 
was  safe  came  the  sad  intelligence,  <^He  is  dead — 
killed  by  a  rebel  shell.'' 

When  came  the  struggle  of  a  brave  and  pure  soul  to 

free  itself  from  its  shattered  tenement  of  clay,  the 

brave  soldier  remembered  the  living  and  sent  back  his 

last  utterance  in  a  heaven-inspired  promise:    ^Tell 

them  I  will  meet  them  in  heaven."    The  sole  comrade 

of  the  original  company  saw  him  fall ;  saw  him  off 

^e  field ;  he  closed  his  eyes  in  death ;  he  bore  the  last 

message  to  his  friends ;  he  saw  him  placed  within  the 

narrow  walls  of  his  chamel  house ;  and  then,  as  a  last 

act  of  kindness  to  the  memory  of  a  faded  flower,  he 

placed  at  the  head  of  the  grave  in  the  land    of 

strangers,  a  rude  head-board  with  the  sleeping  hero's 

name  and  the  name  of  his  company  and  regiment  cut 

tiiiereon.    He  could  do  no  more. 

Best  thee  in  thy  Boldler's  graye, 
Dear  Mend  of  other,  brighter  years. 
The  battle  strife  for  thee  is  o'er. 
No  bugle  blast  or  cannon  roar 
ShaU  eyer  break  thy  slumbers  more. 
But  there  are  those  who  long  will  weep, 
And  Loye  its  silent  yigils  keep 
Thy  loyed  memory  green  with  tears.

H.,  of  Vienna,  and  was  killed  m  a  battle  before  Rich- 
mond, Va.,  29  Sept,  1864.  He  was  a  young  man  of 
moral  rectitude  and  worth,  quiet,  industrious  and 
strictly  temperate;  he  was  a  kind  and  affectionate 
husband,  fond  and  devoted  parent  When  his 
country  called  he  cheerfully  responded,  enlisted  as  a 
private  in  Aug.,  1862,  feeling  that  it  was  his  duty  to 
do  so.  Capt  L.  R.  Clarke,  an  officer  of  the  same  reg- 
iment says:  <*He  fell  doing  his  duty  nobly.  None 
ever  performed  their  duty  better  than  he.  "  While 
with  the  regiment  he  won  the  respect  and  esteem  of 
all  with  whom  he  was  associated,  by  his-  honesty  of 
purpose  and  integrity  of  character.  He  died  the 
proudest  death  of  the  soldier, .  facing  the  enemy."

It  might  appear  that  she  had  a  presentiment  that 
she  was  not  long  for  this  world ;  she  had  remarked

would  not  live  long.  After  her  death  the  following 
verses,  composed  on  her  nineteenth  birthday,  were 
found  among  her  papers : 

MY  GRAVE. 

0  J^nry  me  neath  Bome  shady  bash, 
When  I  am  cold  and  dead, 

That  It  may  cast  its  yeUow  leaves 
Upon  my  mossy  bed. 

And  when  in  spring  It  blooms  again, 
With  leayes  aU  firesh  and  green, 

May  birds,  while  perched  upon  its  limbs. 
Sweet  notes  of  masic  sing. 

1  ask  no  monument  so  high, 
Nor  marble  tombstone  gay. 

A  shadv  bush  is  all  I  wish, 
To  tell  where  I  do  lay.

of  Matthias)  dropped  to  the  floor  while  about  her  ordinary 
duties,  and  died  instantly ;  the  second  wife  of  Calvin 
died  after  an  illness  of  only  forty-eight  hours ;  on  the 
5th  inst.  Calvin  Rust  went  to  see  the  operation  of  raising 
stone  from  a  quarry  in  East  Bethel,  and  was  instantly 
killed  by  the  falling  of  a  part  of  the  machinery ;  and  on 
the  12th  inst.  Mrs.  Ainsworth,  (sister  of  Calvin  Rust) 
was  riding  in  a  sleigh  down  a  hill,  with  a  loaded  ox-sled 
in  front  and  another  in  the  rear ;  the  oxen  in  the  rear 
were  unable  to  hold  back  the  load,  and  ran  upon  the 
sleigh  and  forward  team,  by  which  concussion  Mrs.  A. 
was  killed." — Montpelier  (Vt.)  Watchman.

have  been  a  very  good  man  and  free  from  the  usual  bad 
habits  of  his  age,  and  never  used  liquor  or  tobacco  in  his 
life.  About  six  years  previous  to  his  death,  while  hand- 
ling a  corpse  as  city  undertaker,  he  accidentally  scratched 
his  finger  with  a  pin,  but,  drawing  no  blood,  no  special 
notice  was  taken  of  it  at  the  time.  The  next  day  while 
burying  the  corpse  his  finger  commenced  paining  him 
and  he  soon  became  dizzy  which  increased  until  he  suf- 
fered a  partial  paralysis ;  this  was  the  direct  cause  of  his 
death.  He  was  a  very  prominent  citizen  in  Syracuse ;

322  HENRY  RUST  AND  FAMILY. 

Capt.  Phineas  B.  Rust  received  but  a  common  school 
education.  In  May,  1835,  his  father,  with  his  fikmily, 
removed  to  Brecksville,  Ohio.  Young  Rust,  then  seven- 
teen years  old,  went  to  the  village  of  Richfield,  near  by, 
where  he  set  out  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  carpentering. 
In  the  fall  of  1837  he  emigrated  to  Bureau  Co.,  HI.  His 
course  was  via  the  Ohio  canal  to  Portsmouth  on  the  Ohio 
river,  thence  via  the  Ohio,  Mississippi  and  Illinois  rivers 
to  Hennepin,  111.,  where  he  found  employment  at  his  trade 
and  in  1843  he  settled  on  a  piece  of  government  land  in 
the  township  of  New  Lamoille  in  Bureau  county.  Here 
he  married  Hannah  Frances,*  daughter  of  Peter  I.  and 
Frances  (Raymond)  Dodge.  In  1854  he  removed  from 
his  farm  to  the  then  new  city  of  Mendota,  111.,  where  he 
purchased  and  platted  an  addition  known  as  ^^Rusfs  Ad- 
dition," and  he  soon  became  an  active  business  citizen  of 
the  place. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war,  1861,  when  the  first 
call  for  three  months  men  was  made  he  was  one  of  the 
first  to  respond;  he  enlisted  19  Apr.,  raised  a  company, 
was  made  captain  of  it  and  May  2,  they  were  mustered 
into  service  as  Co.  B.,  12  Reg.,  111.  Inf.  Vols.  He  was 
immediately  ordered  down  opposite  St.  Louis,  Missouri ; 
May  3,  took  possession  of  the  Ohio  &  Mariposa  R.  R. 
camp  at  Caseyville,  nine  miles  east,  ready  to  co-operate 
with  Generals  Lyon  and  Blair  in  suppressing  the  rebel 
element  in  St.  Louis,  which  culminated  in  the  Camp 
Jackson  affair,  on  which  occasion  the  first  blood  was  shed 
at  St.  Louis,  and  the  surrender  of  the  rebel  General 
Frost,  which  occurred  May  10,  1861.  Capt.  Rust  was  a 
faithfld  and  fearless  officer  and  had  the  confidence  and  es- 
teem of  his  men  in  a  marked  degree  ;  he  also  had  the  ap- 
proval and  high  esteem  of  his  colonel,  John  Mc Arthur, 
for  his  bravery  and  the  excellent  discipline  of  his  com- 
pany. Having  served  faithfully  through  the  time  for 
which  he  enlisted,  in  September  of  the  same  year  he  re- 
enlisted  and  was  assigned  to  the  post  of  captain  of  the 
Color  Company — Co.  E.,  37  111.,  and  was  highly  compli- 
mented by  his  superior  officers  for  bravery  in  several  in-

stances ;  notably  the  battles  of  Pea  Ridge  and  Prairie 
Grove.  After  becoming  disabled  and  upon  the  advice 
of  Surgeon  Clark,  he  was  discharged  from  further  duty. 
Soon  flJler  he  came  out  of  the  service  he  removed  to  the 
new  state  of  Eiansas,  to  recuperate  and  restore  his  im- 
paired constitution,  and  measurably  succeeded.  He  is 
now  and  has  been,  since  his  removal  to  that  state,  resid- 
ing on  his  &rm  in  Jackson  county.  Capt.  Rust  is  en- 
gaged a  major  part  of  his  time  aiding  soldiers  and  their 
dependents  to  procure  pensions.  He  has  been  a  life-long 
temperance  and  anti-slavery  advocate  and  an  associate  of 
Hon.  Owen  Lovejoy.  He  cast  his  first  presidential  vote 
for  James  G.  Bimey  in  1840.  Capt.  Rust  was  with  the 
Liberty  party  until  it  was  merged  into  the  Republican 
party  and  now  he  basks  in  the  sunshine  of  the  banner  Re- 
publican and  temperance  state  of  the  Union.  On  one  oc- 
casion some  derogatory  remarks  were  made  regarding 
Capt.  Rust  in  the  hearing  of  one  of  his  old  company 
comrades,  when  he  immediately  replied  :  ''Capt.  Rust  is 
a  good  and  brave  man.  I  served  under  him  and  he 
treated  his  men  well  and  he  was  not  afraid  of  bull,  bear 
or  the  devil.** 

Capt.  Rust  certainly  possess  a  courageous  spirit  and 
one  of  his  leading  virtues  is  he  has  the  courage  of  his 
convictions.  He  is  also  an  earnest  and  devoted  adher- 
ent to  Christianity  as  against  all  forms  of  infidelity ;  he 
is  proud  of  his  ancestry  from  the  old  bay  state ;  of  his 
sojourn  in  Ohio,  where  rest  his  parents,  sisters  and 
brother  Edward ;  of  his  pioneer  life  in  Illinois,  his  man- 
hood home  for  twenty-five  years,  engaging  there  with  his 
noble  compatriots  in  the  fight  for  the  freedom  of  the 
slave,  the  chains  of  which  he  helped  to  break,  and  he 
claims  that  "those  who  would  be  free  must  first  strike 
the  blow." 

He  is  a  prominent  G.  A.  R.  comrade  and  expects  that 
in  the  near  ftiture  all  the  states  of  the  Union  will  move 
grandly  on  toward  universal  equality  and  freedom  by  law 
from  all  class  legislation,  freedom  from  the  monopoly  of 
wealth  or  other  grinding  oppression.  He  looks  for  the 
ushering  in  of  the  emancipation  of  mankind  from  the

1791 ;  married  in  Fair  Haven,  Ct.,  17  Dec,  1814,  Bet- 
sey,* daughter  of  Titus  and  Harriet  (Hotchkiss)  Sanford, 
of  Fair  Haven,  Ct.,  bom  there  27  Nov.,  1798 ;  died  at 
the  residence  of  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Carrie  V.  Judd,  now 
Mrs.  Woodcock,  in  Poughkeepsie,  N,  Y.,  15  June,  1879. 
He  died  in  Waymart,  Pa.,  25  Jan.,  1854.  Removed 
from  Connecticut  to  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.,  about  1823; 
he  was  a  stock-farmer  and  commission  merchant. 

Solomon  Russ  was  a  man  of  sterling  worth  and  un- 
flinching integrity ;  was  genial,  hospitable  and  tender- 
hearted, retiring  in  his  manners  and  conservative  in  poli- 
tics, and  evinced  a  strong  desire  to  order  his  life  by  the 
golden  rule.  He  was  endowed  with  special  musical 
ability,  he  however,  followed  it  only  for  his  own  amuse- 
ment. The  violin  was  his  favorite  instrument  and  he  has 
often  played  with  Ole  Bull.  A  book  and  several  pieces 
of  music,  arranged  for  the  violin,  composed  by  him  are 
now  in  the  possession  of  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Woodcock. 
He  was  a  thorough  business  man  and  made  and  lost  sev- 
eral fortunes ;  he  was  a  most  conscientious  man  and  has 
often  said  he  prefen-ed  to  leave  his  children  an  untar- 
nished name  and  an  inheritance  of  truth  and  honesty 
rather  than  wealth.  He  was  a  man  of  happy  disposition ; 
if  to-day  was  dark  and  gloomy  he  would  bask  in  the  sun- 
shine of  to-morrow's  sun  which  he  felt  sure  would  shine.

iel^*^  Jonathcm^  Israel^  Henry^)  was  born  in  New 
York,  29  Nov.,  1810;  married  in  New  York,  13  July, 
1835,  Louisa  Akin,  daughter  of  Antipas  and  Deborah 
(Stott)  Hathaway,  of  New  York,  bom  in  New  York,  9 
May,  1813.  He  is  a  druggist;  residence  New  Bruns- 
wick, N.  J.  He  was  for  many  years  a  wholesale  drug- 
gist in  New  York  city. 

He  has  always  been  known  as  a  remarkably  conscien- 
tious man,  and  so  nice  is  his  sense  of  honor  that  some 
have  said  :  "Mr.  Rust  is  so  upright  that  he  bends  back  a 
little.'' 

For  many  years  he  has  been  an  elder  of  the  Firat  Pres- 
byterian church  in  New  Brunswick.  He,  with  his  fidend, 
Dr.  Howard  Crosby,  of  New  York,  was  one  of  the  orig- 
inators of  the  New  Brunswick  City  Mission.  In  about 
1856,  he  was  elected  to  the  conmiou  council  and  has 
served  many  years  as  a  director  of  the  New  Brunswick 
Savings  Institution.  He  was  one  of  the  original  mem- 
bers of  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association  and 
was  its  only  treasurer  for  the  first  nineteen  years  of  its 
existence.  So  long  as  he  would  consent  to  seive,  no 
other  man  was  ever  thought  of  for  the  treasurership,  and 
when  he  finally  and  positively  declined  re-election,  resolu- 
tions of  regret  and  thanks  for  his  long  faithful  service 
were  enthusiastically  passed  and  ordered  suitably  en- 
grossed and  presented  to  Ex-Treasurer  Rust.  This  tes- 
timonial, a  richly  bound  and  artistically  illustrated  vol- 
ume executed  by  an  expert,  will  be  long  cherished  by  his 
family  as  an  heirloom. 

In  1885  he  and  his  wife  celebrated  their  golden  wed- 
ding. Added  to  the  invitations  was  a  request  that  no 
presents   be  oflfered.      The  surviving  witnesses  of  the

original  ceremony,  only  two  in  number,  and  nearly  all 
the  relatives  were  present.  The  following  verses  were 
composed  for  the  occasion  by  Fanny  Crosby,  the  blind 
poetess,  (not  a  relative)  and  read  by  one  of  the  neices : 

TO  OUR  UNCIiE  AND  AUNT  ON  THEIR  GOLDEN  WEDDING. 


When  the  roses  bloomed  the  fidrest, 

And  the  skies  were  bine  and  bright, 
You  were  wed,  dear  Aunt  and  Uncle, 

Fifty  years  ago,  to-night 
Then  you  launched  your  boat  together 

On  a  clear  and  sparkling  tide ; 
While  a  thousand  tender  wishes 

Crowned  the  bride-groom  and  the  bride. 

Now  your  thoughts  are  turning  backward, 

And  the  past  are  living  o'er ; 
While  your  fancy  draws  a  picture 

Of  that  summer  eve  of  yore ; 
When  the  smiles  of  youthftil  gladness 

In  your  eyes  were  beaming  bright, 
And  the  holy  words  were  spoken. 

Fifty  years  ago,  to-night. 

Though  the  bloom  of  youth  has  fi&ded 

Like  the  summer,  fW>m  your  brow, 
And  the  winter  snows  are  fiUling, 

Softly,  gently,  o'er  you  now — 
Still,  affection  like  the  ivy, 

Keeps  the  memory  green  and  bright, 
And  the  heart-bells  ring  sweet  music, 

On  your  golden  wedding  night! 

Still  the  boat  you  launched  together 

You  are  rowing  side  by  side ; 
And  our  loving  Heavenly  Father 

Bears  it  safely  o'er  the  tide. 
But  of  all  the  friends  who  gathered 

When  your  life  began  so  bright, 
Only  two  remain  to  greet  you 

On  your  golden  wedding  night 

Though  the  clouds  yet  sometimes  gather, 

And  you  hear  the  surges  roll — 
May  the  star  that  never  varieB— 

^Blessed  beacon  of  the  soul  I) 
Lift  your  gaze  beyond  the  shadows 

That  like  mists,  will  clear  away 
When  your  feet  shall  press  the  verdure 

On  the  shore  of  endless  day.

EIGHTH  GENEBATtON.  335 

In  1854  William  Rust  visited  New  Granada  to  en- 
deavor to  induce  the  natives  to  abandon  the  reckless 
practice  of  felling  rubber  trees  and  to  substitute  the  wiser 
plan  of  merely  tapping  them  to  get  the  rubber  "milk"  as 
he  had  seen  it  done  in  Brazil  a  few  years  before.  This 
proved  to  be  a  hopeless  task  with  this  improvident  peo- 
ple, who  urged  that  every  tree  tapped  by  one  native 
would  be  cut  down  for  the  remaining  rubber  by  the  next. 
Rubl)er  "milk"  quickly  coagulates  and  none  had  ever 
been  brought  away  in  liquid  form  until  Mr.  Rust  did  it 
by  the  addition  of  concentrated  anmionia.  Several  mu-

Hon.  Andrew  and  Mrs.  Abigail  S.  Peiroe,  bom  in  Dover,

Mr.  John  Richard  Rust  was  formerly  a  civil  engineer 
by  profession  and  was  engaged  in  the  construction  of  the 
following  railroads:  Dover  and  Winnipiseogee  in  N. 
H. ;  Sandusky,  Mansfield  and  Newark,  Cleveland  and 
Toledo  in  Ohio ;  Louisville  and  Sandusky  in  Indiana ; 
La  Crosse  and  Milwaukee  in  Wisconsin;  Minneapolis 
and  Cedar  Valley  in  Minnesota,  and  Portland  and  Og- 
densburg  in  Maine  and  Vermont.  He  was  for  ten  years 
chief  engineer  and  superintendent  of  track  and  bridges 
of  the  St.  Johnsbury  and  Lake  Champlain  railroad,  after 
that  road  was  in  operation. 

Mr.  Rust  conceived  the  idea  of  compiling  the  geneal- 
ogy of  the  Rust  fiimily,  commencing  his  work  on  it  in 
1849,  just  nine  years  prior  to  the  author's  first  correspon- 
dence on  the  subject.  Mr.  Rust  did  most  of  the  work  on 
his  genealogy  in  1849-50.  The  work  embraced  only  de- 
scendants of  Rev.  Henry  Rust,  first  minister  at  Stradiam, 
N.  H.,  who  was  bom  in  1686  and  was  the  son  of  Nathan* 
iel*  (Nathaniel,*  Henry^).  The  records  of  the  dMoend* 
ants  of  Henry  were  copied  into  a  book  but  without  any 
specially  approved  system.  The  index  of  the  book  gives 
almost  500  names  and  has  been  a  great  help  to  the

It  is  due  Mr.  Rust  to  state  tbat  at  the  time  he  collected

He  was  in  Charleston,  S.  C,  during  the  bombardment 
and  surrender  of  Fort  Sumpter,  and  witnessed  the  fir^ 
blow  of  the  great  civil  war  of  1861-5. 

In  July,  1862,  he  formed  the  co-partnership  of  Carter, 
Rust  &  Co.,  wholesale  druggists,  43  and  45,  Hanover 
street,  Boston.  In  January,  1866,  a  re-organization  of

firm  of  RuBt  Bix)thers  &  Bird,  Mr.  Carter  retiring,  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  Wm.  A.  Rust.  This  firm  con- 
tinued until  Jan.  1,  1890,  when  the  Rust  &  Richardson 
Drug  Company  was  formed,  of  which  Mr.  Rust  is  direc- 
tor. 

In  1874-6  Mr.  Rust  represented  the  fifth  ward  in  the 
Massachusetts  Legislature ;  was  chairman  of  the  Repub- 
lican City  Committee  of  Boston,  1877-8,  and  a  member 
of  the  City  Council,  1878-9  and  1890-91. 

He  was  prominent  in  organizing  the  Lincoln  National 
Bank,  of  Boston,  of  which  he  is  now  president.  He  is 
also  president  of  the  Dorchester  Gras  Light  Company ;  a 
director  in  the  Boston  Gras  Light  Company,  Boston  Safe 
Deposit  and  Trust  Company,  Mercantile  Loan  and  Trust 
Company,  Neptune  Insurance  Company,  Wakefield  Rat- 
tan Company,  Davol  Mills,  Texas  Street  Railway  and 
Land  Company;  a  trustee  of  the  North  End  Savings 
Bank,  of  Boston,  of  which  he  was  president  for  several 
years ;  one  of  the  commissioners  of  the  sinking  fund  of 
the  city  of  Boston ;  was  for  many  years  directly  con- 
nected with  the  street  railways  of  Boston  and  vicinity. 
Mr.  Rust  was  unanimously  nominated  on  the  Republican 
ticket  as  candidate  for  alderman  from  the  fifth  aldermanic 
district  of  Boston,  and  in  November,  1890,  was  elected 
to  that  office  by  a  good  majority.  The  following  is  from 
the  Boston  Beacon : 

''Mr.  Nathaniel  J.  Rust,  whom  the  Republicans  have 
nominated  for  alderman  in  the  district  comprising  wards 
eleven  and  sixteen,  is  admirably  equipped  for  intelligent 
and  useful  service  in  the  higher  branch  of  our  city  council. 
Mr.  Rust  is  a  merchant  of  high  standing,  a  banker  of 
acknowledged  ability  and  integrity,  and  a  public  spirited 
citizen.  It  would  be  well  for  Boston  if  she  could  get 
twelve  such  men  as  he  to  sit  in  the  aldermanic  chamber.

If  she  could  do  this  no  scandals  would  blacken  her  record, 
none  of  her  money  would  be  squandered  or  diverted  to 
improper  uses." 

Mr.  Rust  is  endowed  with  a  lai^e  amount  of  energy 
and  lives  strictly  up  to  his  convictions,  that  work  and 
constant  care  are  necessary  concomitants  to  success.  He 
is  a  noble  type  of  manhood,  with  a  bright,  quick,  pleas- 
ant eye.  He  recognizes  his  friends  with  a  pleasing  smile, 
never  stealing  a  moment  from  business  hours.  He  early 
established  the  reputation  of  fair  and  honorable  dealing 
with  all  alike.  In  all  his  investments  and  business  con- 
nections he  has  evinced  superior  business  foresight.

276  William  Maxwell'  ( WUliam^  Joseph^  Joseph^

Washington,  Me.,  14  Dec,  1818  ;  married —  Oct.,  1845, 
Miss  Martha  J.,  youngest  daughter  of  Deacon  Daniel 
and  Martha  (Taylor)  Weeks,  of  Jefferson,  Me.,  bom  25 
Dec,  1821.  He  died  at  his  home  in  Belfast,  Me.,  14 
June,  1888. 

Hon.  William  Maxwell  Bust  attended  school  in  his 
native  town  until  1832,  when  his  father  removed  to  Bel- 
mont, Me.  Here  he  attended  school,  went  to  Belfast 
academy  and  fitted  for  college  at  Monmouth  a^cademy. 
For  several  years  he  taught  school  with  success.  Early 
in  the  '40's  he  engaged  in  trade  at  Washington  with  Dr. 
R.  E.  Ryder.  He  read  law  with  Gten.  George  W.  Bach- 
elder,  a  prominent  lawyer  and  military  man  of  Gardiner. 
Mr.  Rust  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Lincoln  County  in 
1845  and  first  practiced  at  Washington,  where  he  contin- 
ued in  practice  for  several  years.  In  1852  he  removed 
to  Belfast,  where  he  remained  the  rest  of  his  life.  When 
he  first  settled  in  Belfast  he  opened  a  law  ofiice  but  soon 
drifted  into  politics. 

Politically,  Mr.  Rust  came  of  good  democratic  stock, 
his  father  being  an  influential  member  of  that  party.  He 
continued  to  act  with  that  party  until  1854,  which  dates 
the  birth  of  the  republican  party.  Mr.  Rust,  being  op- 
posed to  the  extension  of  slavery  into  the  territories, 
found  himself  with  the  new  party,  not  then  known  as 
the  republican  party.  The  "Progressive  Age"  was  es- 
tablished as  a  campaign  paper,  July  1,  1854,  in  the  in- 
terests of  the  new  party.  Mr.  Rust  was  one  of  the 
writers.  In  October,  1854  this  new  paper  became  a  fixed 
reality  with  Mr.  Rust  as  its  editor.  In  1857  he  became 
the  sole  owner  and  so  remained  until  his  death.      Mr.

Rust  was,  from  the  first,  one  of  the  leading  men  in  the 
republican  party,  both  with  his  pen  and  upon  the  stump. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Republican  State  Committee  for 
two  or  three  years,  and  was  at  one  time  president  of  the 
state  convention  of  the  party.  In  1878,  he,  believing 
that  the  republican  party  had  fulfilled  its  mission  and  he 
being  radically  opposed  to  the  views  of  that  party  on  the 
currency  question,  came  out  boldly  for  the  Greenback 
party.  The  same  year  he  was  prominently  named  as  a 
candidate  of  that  party  for  governor,  but  at  the  conven- 
tion he  withdrew  before  the  nomination  was  made.  The 
same  year  he  came  within  a  very  few  votes  of  receiving 
the  nomination  for  Congress.  In  1879  he  was  condidate 
for  mayor  of  Belfast  on  the  democratic  and  greenback 
tickets.  In  1884  he  was  one  of  the  early  advocates 
of  the  nomination  of  Governor  Cleveland  for  president. 
He  was  one  of  the  delegates  to  the  Chicago  convention 
and  one  of  its  vice-presidents.  In  1888  he  was  elected 
one  of  the  alternates  at  large  to  the  national  convention 
at  St.  Louis.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  democratic  state 
convention  at  Augusta,  Maine,  the  same  year.  In  1868 
and  1869  Mr.  Rust  was  a  member  of  the  Legislature. 
In  1880  he  was  elected  senator  from  his  county.  In  1867 
he  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Belfast 
and  Moosehead  Lake  Railroad  Company.  As  in  all  other 
bodies  of  which  he  was  a  member  he  took  an  active  part 
on  the  board 

Mr.  Rust's  home  life  was  always  exceedingly  pleasant. 
He  was  a  kind,  loving  husband  and  an  affectionate,  indul- 
gent father. 

The  following  notice  was  issued  by  the  mayor  of  the 
city,  on  the  occasion  of  Mr.  Rust's  death : 

"The  burial  of  our  esteemed  fellow-citizen,  Wm.  M. 
Rust,  editor  of  the  'Progressive  Age,'  takes  place  Tues-

the  deceased,  I  respectfiiUy  request  that  all  places  of  bus-

senate  of  1883,  with  Mr.  Rust,  writes  as  follows,  in 
speaking  of  our  late  editor's  death : 

***I  feel  that  I  have  truly  lost  a  friend,  kind-hearted  and 
true,  one  whom  I  held  in  the  highest  esteem.  To  his 
fiEunily  I  tender  my  heart-felt  sympathy.' " — ^Progressive 
Age. 

The  result  of  an  honest  effort  to  convert  an  honest 
man  is  illustrated  by  the  following  facts : 

When  Mr.  Rust  was  a  republican  and  published  a  re- 
publican paper,  a  Mr.  Simpson,  a  strong  democrat, 
edited  at  the  same  time  a  democratic  paper  in  Belfast. 
£ach  was  intensely  partizan  and  exceedingly  hostile  to 
the  other.  As  time  rolled  on  and  the  political  tempera- 
ture was  high  they  began  to  box  the  compass  for  political 
tenets  continuing  at  the  same  time  their  antagonistic  atti- 
tude toward  each  other  and  so  continued  until  each 
landed  square  in  the  other's  political  shoes,  each  paper 
retaining  its  old  name  and  each  strongly  maintaining  the 
political  principles  previously  advocated  by  the  other.

father's  family,  removed  to  Belmont,  Waldo  county, 
same  state.  He  first  engaged  in  merchandising  in  Massa- 
chusetts ;  but  not  being  satisfied  with  the  business,  he 
returned  to  Maine,  where  he  remained  until  the  Cali- 
fornia gold  excitement  broke  out,  when  he  procured  a 
stock  of  goods  and  a  house  all  framed  ready  to  go  to- 
gether, and  started  by  water  for  California,  arriving  in 
San  Francisco  Bay  March  15,  1850,  having  been  five 
months  on  the  voyage.  After  arriving  in  California  he 
disposed  of  his  goods  and  tried  several  kinds  of  business 
but  without  satisfying  an  ambitious  and  progressive 
spirit.  He  soon  went  to  Placerville,  where  he  purchased 
a  drove  of  cattle  with  which  he  went  to  Eel  River  valley, 
which  he  reached  in  the  fiiU  of  1852  and  here  he  made 
his  winter  camp  upon  the  identical  spot  where  now  stands 
the  brick  building  so  long  occupied  by  him  at  the  village 
of  Femdale.  "Aie  next  spring  he  went  to  Sacramento 
and  bought  another  drove  of  cattle,  returned  to  Humbolt 
county  and  opened  a  meat  market  at  Eureka.  After  a 
short  time  he  closed  out  his  business  there,  and  for  three 
years  he  was  in  search  for  gold.  After  this  he  went  to 
Oregon,  purchased  a  drove  of  cattle,  returned  with  them 
to  Bear  River,  and  followed  stock  raising  until  1859, 
when  he  again  opened  a  market  at  Eureka,  which  was 
continued  by  him  without  interruption  until  his  death. 

In  1870  he  built  a  sawmill  on  Indian  Island  and  from 
that  time  he  was  largely  interested  in  the  manufacture  of 
redwood  lum}>er.  He  established  and  was  principle 
owner  of  the  Russ  Lumber  and  Mill  Company,  of  San 
Diego,  Cal.  The  Russ  school  of  that  city  was  named 
for  him.  He  was  a  large  stock  owner  in  the  "Excel- 
sior" mill ;  was  sole  proprietor  of  the  Russ  market ;  had 
a  large  interest  in  and  was  one  of  the  directors  of  the 
Humbolt  County  Bank ;  the  latter  enterprises  were  in 
Humbolt  county.  He  was  greatly  interested  in  the  de- 
velopement  of  his  state  and  county  and  held  many  prom- 
inent positions  in  both ;  was  member  of  the  state  legisla- 
ture; was  retumd  to  the  state  legislature  in  1871,  and 
subsequently  re-elected  at  different  times,  and  was  a 
member  of  the  house  of  representatives,  state  legislature, 
at  the  time  of  his  death.

Hon.  Joseph  Russ  possessed  a  remarkable  degree  of 
business  sagacity,  which  developed  at  an  early  age 
and  increased  with  his  years.  His  uncommon  busi- 
ness foresight  and  ability,  with  his  integrity  and  private 
worth,  naturally  inspired  confidence  and  gave  him  many 
friends,  thus  fixing  the  basis  for  the  accumulation  of  the 
large  fortune  he  left  at  his  death ;  and  in  the  accumula- 
tion and  possession  of  this  large  estate  he  was  never  un- 
mindful of  the  laboring  class.  His  interest  in  and  for 
them  may  be  summed  up  in  his  own  words  in  his  speech 
delivered  on  the  occasion  of  the  completion  of  the  Excel- 
sior mill  in  Feb.,  1882 :  ''After  working  hard  all  day  I 
want  a  good  room  and  a  good  bed  to  sleep  in  and  I  want 
every  man  that  works  for  me  to  have  just  as  good  a 
room  and  just  as  good  a  bed  to  sleep  in  as  I  have  myself. 
I  try  always  to  measure  such  things  as  I  would  have 
them  measured  out  to  me."  He  acted  upon  his  convic- 
tions in  this  respect  and  had  large  comfortable  buildings 
erected  for  the  laborers.  He  was  a  zealous  supporter  of 
religion,  virtue  and  education  and  to  every  cause  which 
had  for  its  object  the  elevation  of  society.  He  was  a  man 
of  strict  honesty  and  integrity ;  gave  careftil  attention 
to  the  affairs  of  life,  which  earned  for  him  that  position 
among  men  which  brought  him  honor  and  admiration. 
He  was  a  devoted  and  affectionate  father  and  husband  and 
was  always  happiest  when  mingling  with  his  family. 

Their  children  were : 

i      Edward,*  b.  1  Nov.,  1865 ;  d.  7  Nov.,  1866. 

11  James  B.,  b.  16  Nov.,  1866 ;  d.  16  May.  1876.  A  full  ac- 
count of  this  sad  and  untimely  death  was  given  in  the 
Hambolt  (Cal.)  Times,  published  at  Eureka,  May, 
1876,  from  which  the  following  facts  are  gathei^ed : 

James  B.  Russ,  his  younger  brother  and  Mr.  J.  G. 
Graham,  a  brother-in-law  of  James'  &ther,  together 
with  several  others,  started,  on  May  16, 1876,  with  a 
large  herd  of  cattle  to  drive  them  to  Indian  Creek  in 
another  part  of  the  county.  On  the  way,  while  cross- 
ing Eel  river,  which  was  unusually  high,  James,  in  an 
attempt  to  get  the  cattle  over,  was  drowned.  He  had 
crossed  the  river  once  or  twice  on  his  horse,  which 
finally  gave  out^  leaving  the  brave  and  energetic 
young  man  in  th6  water  Just  deep  enough  to  permit 
him  to  wade ;  from  some  misstep  or  oUier  accident

he  suddenly  lost  his  footing  and  went  down ;  bnt  soon 
appearing,  every  effort  was  made  to  save  him;  again 
he  sank,  this  time  to  rise  no  more  alive.  Although  a 
dilligent  and  continued  search  was  made,  his  body 
was  not  recovered  until  the  next  day. 

What  a  sudden  and  sunless  cloud  of  gloom  was  thus 
cast  over  the  doting  parents  and  that  entire  household. 
The  hopes  and  bright  anticipations  of  a  fond  other's 
heart  were  now  blasted  forever  in  the  loss  of  a  noble 
and  promising  son.  Filled  with  grie^  the  heart- 
broken mother  thus  suddenly  plunged  into  the  depths 
of  sorrow  for  the  loss  of  her  brave  and  manly  boy — 
the  eldest  child — ^finds  no  present  consolation  under 
this  black  cloud.  The  brothers  and  sisters  see,  with 
sorrowing  hearts,  the  vacant  chair  and  the  absiOLce  of 
that  courteous  protector  and  devoted  brother  opens 
anew  with  every  recurring  thought,  the  wounds  left 
by  that  sad,  sad  occurrence. 

James  Russ  had  just  graduated  from  the  McClure 
military  school  at  Oakland  with  unusual  honors,  and 
had,  through  his  happy  disposition  and  manly  bear- 
ing, ingratiated  himself  into  the  good  wishes  of  all 
who  knew  him.  He  was  a  devoted  son  and  brother 
and  was  known  throughout  the  county  as  a  type  of 
true  and  noble  manhood.  The  funeral  services  were 
conducted  at  his  parents'  residence,  by  Rev.  A.  Hitch- 
cock and  it  is  said  that  the  assembly  was  the  largest  of 
the  kind  ever  witnessed  in  Humbolt  county.

Mr.  Rust  was  an  active  member  of  the  fire  company  in 
Gloucester,  and  lost  his  life  while  in  active  service,  at- 
tempting to  save  property  and  the  lives  of  others.  On 
July  30,  1867,  dense  clouds  of  smoke  were  seen  issuing 
from  the  basement  of  a  building  in  or  near  the  city.  On 
the  arrival  of  the  engine  Mr.  Rust  took  the  hose  in  one 
hand  and  a  candle  in  the  other  and  entered  the  basement, 
which  was  filled  with  gas  and  it  instantly  ignited,  result- 
ing in  an  explosion,  throwing  several  persons  to  some 
distance  out  of  the  cellar  and  causing  the  death  of  Mr. 
Rust.  He  was  an  exemplary  citizen,  esteemed  and 
highly  thought  of  by  all  who  knew  him  and  seemed  to  be 
a  &vorite  with  his  comrades.  He  was  a  member  of  sev- 
eral societies  and  his  untimely  death  was  universally  re- 
gretted. There  is  now  a  hose  company  in  the  city, 
named  the  "Moses  Rust  Hose  Company,"  named  in  honor 
of  this  young  hero.  His  widow  married  second,  10

convictions,  though  they  might  differ  with  all  others,  and 
for  this  reason  he  preferred  to  remain  out  of  public  life 
as  much  as  possible. 

Mr.  Rust's  education  was  very  limited,  never  having 
attended  school  after  the  winter  he  was  sixteen  years  old, 
but  he  always  had  a  craving  for  knowledge  and  after  his 
school  days  were  past  he  acquired  a  good  knowledge  of 
the  common  and  some  of  the  higher  branches.  Soon 
after  his  marriage  he  taught  several  terms  in  the  public 
schools  of  Michigan,  with  pleasing  success  and  satis&ction 
both  to  himself  and  his  patrons.  After  forty  years  of 
age  he  gave  considerable  attention  to  the  study  of  geol- 
ogy and  Paleontology  and  now  owns  one  of  the  laigest 
and  finest  general  collections  in  the  state  of  Texas,  gath- 
ered from  all  parts  of  the  world.  It  was  on  exhibition 
for  the  first  time  at  the  Texas  State  Fair  at  Dallas,  in 
1886,  where  he  took  five  premiums  and  one  diploma. 

At  the  age  of  fourteen  his  father  placed  him  in  the 
care  of  Dr.  Wm.  H.  Rodgers,  a  traveling  lecturer  and 
practicing  physician,  with  whom  he  travelled  through 
Michigan,  Indiana  and  Ohio,  spending  considerable  time 
at  Nashville,  Tennessee,  and  Franklin  College  near  that 
city.  While  at  Nashville  he  performed  a  remarkably  dif- 
ficult and  very  dangerous  feat  for  one  so  young.  The 
suspension  bridge  across  the  Cumberland  river  was  in 
course  of  construction,  the  large  cables,  four  over  each 
tower,  spanned  the  river,  and  he  crossed  over  the  river 
on  the  bare  cables,  distance  between  towers  640  feet,  and 
110  feet  above  low  water  mark,  crossing  on  his  hands 
and  knees ;  he  was  the  first  person  to  cross  the  river  by 
the  cables.     He  returned  to  his  home  in  Ohio,  14  Nov., 

1850,  much  benefitted  physically.  The  day  after  his  ar- 
rival all  the  living  members  of  the  family  met  at  his 
father's  house  and  were  re-united  for  the  first  time  after- 
wards in  Dallas,  Texas,  on  Christmas  day,  1887. 

His  father's  family  moved  from  Ohio  to  Michigan  in 

1851,  where  Mr.  Rust  followed  farming  with  his  &ther 
two  years,  after  which  he  apprenticed  himself  to  the  car- 
penter's trade  under  Mr.  Benjamin  P.  Warner,  his  fu- 
ture &ther-in-law.     After  following  house  building  a  few

years  he  made  some  few  ventures  in  other  lines ;  but  his 
chosen  life  work  has  been  journalism. 

After  his  marriage  he  located  a  piece  of  government 
land  in  Salem,  Allegan  county,  Michigan,  where  he 
carved  out  with  his  own  hands,  a  pleasant  little  home  for 
his  young  family.  Here  he  walked  three  miles  and 
taught  the  district  school,  for  which  he  received  twenty 
dollars  per  month,  boarding  himself. 

He  sold  his  home  in  Salem  after  his  father's  death  in 
1861,  and  removed  to  Winfield,  Montcalm  county,  that 
he  might  be  near  his  widowed  mother  and  have  an  over- 
sight of  her  affairs,  she  being  left  with  no  sons  at  home 
old  enough  to  manage  for  her. 

In  1865  he  removed  to  St.  Louis,  Gratiot  county, 
Michigan,  where  in  April,  1868,  he  established  the 
"Michigan  State  Advance."  Some  account  of  his  work 
for  Michigan  through  this  paper  may  be  found  in  the 
"Red  Book  of  Michigan,"  1871,  by  Charles  Lanman,  pp. 
128,  135  and  521.  The  "Advance"  and  "Saginaw 
Courier"  were  consolidated  in  1870  and  the  new  paper 
was  now  called  the  "Michigan  Courier  and  Advance,"  of 
which  Mr.  Rust  had  editorial  management  until  August 
1,  1871,  when  he,  in  company  with  others,  organized  a 
colony  which  located  in  Adams  county,  Nebraska,  he  be- 
ing one  of  the  organizers  of  that  county.  During  his 
three  years  sojourn  in  that  state  he  bought  and  sold 
school  bonds,  took  contracts  for  building  school  houses 
and  dealt  in  school,  church  and  office  furniture. 

In  1874  he  removed  to  Ellis  county,  Texas,  and  the 
following  year  closed  a  contract  to  publish  the  "Ellis 
County  News."  This  step  was  a  more  venturesome  one 
than  the  crossing  of  the  river  at  Nashville,  not  to  life  or 
limb,  but  to  honor  and  reputation.  At  the  time  of  tak- 
ing the  contract  neither  himself  or  children,  who  were  to 
assist  him,  knew  anything  of  the  mechanical  part  of  the 
newspaper  business,  and  in  one  month  from  that  time  he 
must  assume  control  of  the  whole  business  of  a  countiy 
newspaper  office,  which  included  the  printing  of  both 
sides  of  aseven  column  folio  paper  and  doing  the  job 
work.  None  but  a  practical  printer  can  comprehend  the 
difficulties  and  discouragements  of  such  a  venture ;    but

throngh  hard  toil  and  patient  perseyerance  it  was  accom- 
plished, and  this  Tolnme  will  witness  by  its  typography 
and  arrangement  that  Mr.  Bast  has  been  neither  dull  or 
idle  in  Us  chosen  profession. 

In  October,  1879,  in  company  with  W.  B.  Lotz,  now 
his  son-in-law,  he  established  the  first  paper  issued  in 
Callahan  county,  Texas,  at  Belle  Plain,  then  the  county 
seat.  His  two  elder  daughters  joined  him  in  this  enter- 
prise, Tolunteering  to  accompany  him  to  this  frontier 
town,  175  miles  beyond  railrcMid  conmiunication.  They 
were  each  good  compositors  as  well  as  efficient  house- 
keepers. Mr.  Bust  sold  his  interest  in  this  plant  to  his 
son-in-law,  Mr.  Lotz,  and  being  importuned  by  his 
Ennis  friends  to  return  and  establish  another  paper  at 
that  place,  he  purchased  the  *^Fort  Worth  Daily  Joumal,** 
and  Nov.  11,  1880  issued  the  first  number  of  the  ^  Ennis 
Conomercial  Becorder,^  a  seven  column  folio.  In  April, 
1882,  he  established  the  ""Giddings  Plaindealer"  at  Gid- 
dings,  Lee  county,  Texas,  leaving  his  eldest  son  in 
charge  of  his  Ennis  paper.  After  the  political  campaign 
of  1882,  the  entire  outfit  of  the  "Plaindealer"  was  re- 
moved, without  missing  an  issue,  175  miles,  over  two 
lines  of  railroad  to  McGregor,  McLennan  county,  Texas, 
the  first  number  being  issued  Nov.  11,  1882,  and  was  the 
first  paper  published  in  that  place.  In  January  following 
everything  pertaining  to  the  office  was  destroyed  by  fire 
with  no  insurance.  The  publication  was  resumed  on 
February  10,  as  a  seven,  instead  of  a  six  colunm  sheet, 
with  entirely  new  material  and  office  building.  The 
first  of  October,  1887,  he  removed  the  ^'Plaindealer"  to 
the  city  of  Waco,  not  missing  an  issue  by  the  move. 
Here,  during  the  first  year  in  Waco,  the  "Plaindealer" 
absorbed  the  ** Dawson  Sentinel,"  of  Dawson,  Texas,  the 
** Commercial  Becorder,"  of  Ennis,  and  the  ''Star  and 
Crescent,'*  of  Waco,  and  was  enlarged  to  an  eight  page 
six  column  sheet.  On  December  7,  1889,  Mr.  Kust  sold 
the  paper  and  business  to  Mr.  J.  K.  Street,  and  since 
then  hiaa  devoted  his  entire  time  to  the  compilation  and 
publication  of  the  Rust  Genealogy. 

Mr.  Rust  has  held  the  office  of  town  clerk  and  ex-of- 
ficio  school  inspector  in  the  towships  of  Salem  and  Win-

field,  Michigan ;  also  jastice  of  the  peace  in  Winfield ; 
was  twice  appointed  notary  public  for  St.  Louis,  Michi- 
gan, and  elected  school  director  for  the  same  place.  In 
Nebraska  he  was  appointed  county  superintendent  of  the 
poor  and  elected  justice  of  the  peace ;  was  also  elected 
school  director  of  his  district ;  was  prominently  before 
the  Democratic  senatorial  convention  for  the  12th  Dis- 
trict of  Nebraska  in  1872,  as  a  candidate  for  state  sena- 
tor and,  although  defeated,  received  a  very  respectable 
vote.  He  received  the  appointment  of  census  enumera- 
tor for  the  tenth  United  States  census,  for  Callahan 
county,  Texas.  Was  elected  president  of  the  board  of  di- 
rectors of  the  McGregor  high  school  in  1883.  He  bore 
the  title  of  Colonel,  but  it  was  not  bestowed  as  a  military 
honor  and  for  years  he  protested  against  it. 

He  witnessed  the  inauguration  of  Orover  Cleveland  in 
1885  ;  visited  Mount  Vernon  and  looked  upon  the  sarco- 
phagus containing  the  remains  of  the  **&ther  of  our 
country,"  and  twice  ascended  to  the  top  of  the  Washing- 
ton monument.  He  also  visited  the  birth-place  of  all  his 
children  the  same  year.  He  was  a  delegate  from  Texas 
to  the  first  National  Editorial  Convention  held  in  the 
United  States,  in  February,  1886,  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

The  year  1889  was  perhaps  the  most  prolific  of  pleas- 
ure of  any  of  his  life.  In  April  he  attended  the  State 
Press  Association,  of  which  he  had  been  a  member  for 
eight  years,  which  met  at  £1  Paso,  Texas.  With  other 
members  he  visited  the  quaint  old  City  of  Mexico,  and 
witnessed  its  grand  army  review  on  Cinco  de  Mayo,  its 
veritable  bull  fights  and  many  other  interesting  scenes. 
On  June  10,  following  he  started  on  a  pilgrimage  to  the 
land  of  his  fathers,  the  main  object  of  which  was  to  col- 
lect data  for  the  Rust  Genealogy.  He  made  a  thorough 
search  of  all  the  records  of  Boston,  Hingham,  Ipswich, 
Gloucester,  Essex,  Hamilton,  Newburyport,  Marblehead, 
Salem,  Peabody,  Charlestown  and  other  places  in  Massa- 
chusetts and  gleaned  much  from  the  great  libraries  of 
New  England.  He  also  visited  the  birtii  place  of  every 
one  of  Mb  American  bom  ancestors  in  the  Rust  line,  also 
his  native  town  and  the  house  where  he  was  bom. 

Mr.  Rust  is  a  democrat  after  the  Jeffersonian  type.

In  religion,  while  he  is  not  a  member  of  any  denomi- 
nation, he  is  a  most  thorough  believer  in  the  principles 
enunciated  by  Jesus  Christ  and  believes  that  the  Bible 
student  should  not  read  that  sacred  volume  unless  he  can 
free  himself  from  the  dangerous  traditions  of  his  fore^ 
&thers  forced  upon  them  during  the  dark  ages  and  which 
most  of  the  so-called  Giristians  still  hold  to  through 
prejudice.  He  is  a  well  posted  Bible  student  and  feels 
sure  that  a  correct  understanding  of  the  Bible  can  be  ob- 
tained only  through  accepting  it  in  its  most  natural  and 
simple  signification. 

Mrs.  Julia  A.  (Warner)  Rust,  the  author's  wife,  has 
occupied  an  important  position  in  the  compilation  and 
publication  of  the  Rust  Genealogy.  Without  her  carefiil 
and  able  assistance  it  could  never  have  been  as  full  and 
correct  as  it  is.  The  author*s  eyes  having  failed  him 
through  constant  use  in  this  work,  her's  have  served  the 
purpose  in  much  of  the  labor.  The  manuscript  for  the 
printer,  over  one  thousand  pages,  has  all  been  prepared 
by  her  pen.  This  will  be  bound  in  two  volumes  and  pre- 
served in  the  family  as  an  heir-loom.  She  has  carefolly 
read  all  the  MS.  twice  before  it  was  given  to  the  printer 
and  twice  after  it  was  put  in  print.  She  has  spent  many 
months  in  carefiil,  patient  copying  and  comparing  and  has 
shown  very  great  interest  in  tiie  work  from  its  incipiency 
and  has  sacrificed  no  little  that  the  work  might  be  as  cor- 
rect and  complete  as  possible.  Her  sense  of  honor  is 
very  great,  having  inherited  that  quality  from  both  her 
parents.  Her  life  is  wrapped  up  in  her  companion  and 
children.  She  has  lived  as  a  consistent  Christian  and 
labors  to  have  her  children  emulate  her  life.  Her  love 
of  home  and  quiet  domestic  life  is  very  great  and  no  oc- 
casion is  lost  by  her  to  render  her  husband  and  family 
happy.  She  is  worthy  of  more  credit  as  a  mother,  wife 
and  neighbor  than  can  be  given  her  in  this  volume.

of  much  energy  and  perseverance.  During  the  time 
her  father  was  publishing  the  << Ellis  County  News" 
in  1876,  in  Ennis,  Texas,  on  one  occasion  he  was  ab-

394  Capt.  Elbridge  Oerry^  {Jacob  TowU;  John,^ 
John^  NatTianiely^  John^  Ifathaniel^^  Hen/ry^)  was 
bom  in  Albany,  Yt.,  18  Jan.,  1840 ;  married  at  the  resi- 
dence of  his  mother,  in  Winfield,  Montcahn  Co.,  Mich., 
27  Apr.,  1866,  by  his  brother,  Albert  D.  Rust,  Esq., 
Margaret  Ann,  daughter  of  John  W.  and  Charity  Ann 
(Pickle)  Rose,  of  Cato,  Mich.,  born  at  Alfred,  N.  Y.,  8 
Jan.,  1845. 

Capt.  Elbridge  Gerry  Rust  was  deprived  of  what 
might  be  termed  a  liberal  education  but  received  abun- 
dant instruction  in  the  principles  of  honesty,  sobriety 
and  industry.  At  an  early  day  he  manifested  great  de- 
sire for  knowledge.  An  oppoitunity  presenting  itself,  at 
fourteen  years  of  age  he  apprenticed  himself  to  the 
printer's  trade  in  the  ^* Statesman **  office,  Marshall,  Mich., 
serving  four  years,  after  which  he  worked  in  most  of  the 
larger  cities  of  the  country  and  on  many  of  the  leading 
journals  of  the  United  States.  At  the  outbreak  of  the 
civil  war  he  was  ^holding  cases"  on  the  ^*New  York 
Times."  Desiring  to  aid  his  country  in  her  struggle,  he 
crossed  the  river  into  New  Jersey  and  aided  Captain 
Hughes  in  raising  a  company  for  the  21st  Regiment  New 
Jersey  Volunteer  In&ntry,  which  was  hastened  to  the 
front  and  placed  in  2d  Division,  6th  (Sedgwick's)  Corps, 
Col.  6.  Van  Houten  commanding.  When  the  com- 
pany was  fully  oiganized,  Mr.  Rust  was  elected  third  or 
commissary  sergeant  of  Company  K.  The  term  of  en- 
listment was  for  nine  months.  In  this  capacity  he  served 
his  country  fiiithfiilly  and  well.  He  was  in  numerous 
hard  fought  battles,  chief  among  which  was  that  of  Fred- 
ericksburg, Dec.  12-16, 1862,  under  Gen.  Qeorge  B.  Mc- 
Clellan,  and  Chancellorsville,  May  2-4,  1863,  under 
Gen.  Joe.  Hooker.  In  this  battle,  his  captain,  Edgar  A. 
Finney,  being  severely  stunned  by  a  cannon  ball  which 
mowed  its  way  through  Co.  K.,  killing  several  men. 
Sergeant  Rust,  the  then  ranking  officer,  was  placed  in 
command  of  the  company,  and  while  leading  Ids  men  in 
the  thickest  of  the  fight  in  that  memorable  battle,  was  se- 
verely wounded  in  the  right  hip  and  taken  off  the  field. 
This  occurred  about  4  p.  m.,  on  Monday,  May  4,  1868.

Heights  9  and  the  Confederate  cannon  on  the  Heights 
loaded  with  grape  and  cannister  mowed  down  the  charg- 
ing column  like  grass,  he  exhibited  his  native  brayeiy 
and  heroism  by  seizing  and  canying  to  the  top  of  the 
hill  the  regimental  colors  after  seyeral  color  seigeants  had 
been  shot  down,  for  which  act  he  was  promoted  on  the 
field  to  the  position  of  Orderly-Sergeant. 

After  his  recoveiy  from  tus  wounds  he  returned  to 
Michigan  and  in  April,  1866  married  Miss  Bose.  In 
1870-1,  Capt.  Rust  compiled  and  published  the  Histoiy 
and  Directoiy  of  Calhoun  County,  Michigan,  a  volume 
of  about  500  pages.  With  his  &mily  he  removed  to 
Chicago  immediately  aft«r  the  great  fire  of  1871,  estab- 
lished himself  in  business  there  where  he  remained  until 
the  panic  of  1878,  when  he  returned  to  Michigan,  settiing 
at  Battle  Creek. 

In  March,  1875,  Capt.  Rust  removed  to  Texas  and  in 
July  following  settled  permanently  at  Dallas.  Jan.  8, 
1882,  he  established  the  ^* Sunday  Mercuiy,**  a  weekly 
paper  in  that  city.  In  September,  1883,  changed  the 
name  to  *' Dallas  Mercury."  In  April,  1887,  he  was

He  married  second  in  Nashville,  Tenn.,  13  Dec,  1861, 
Susan,  daughter  of  Josiah  and  Julia  Ann  Wright. 

Mr.  Rust  went  to  Tennessee  in  September,  1850.  He 
taught  school  near  Lebanon  in  that  state  and  returned  to 
New  York  early  in  1851.  He  again  went  to  Tennessee 
in  1852-^,  teaching  school  until  1859j  when  he  went  to 
Nashville  and  engaged  as  a  book-keeper.  He  was  in 
Nashville  at  the  time  of  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  of 
the  rebellion  in  1861,  and,  although  he  was  an  outspoken 
Union  man,  he  allied  himself  to  neither  army.  The  po- 
sition he  held  at  the  time  was  an  important  one  and  it 
was  difficult  to  find  one  who  could  fill  it.  He  was  drafted 
on  one  occasion  but  the  commissary-general,  in  whose 
employ  he  was  engaged,  had  his  name  stricken  from  the 
muster  roll.  He  was  appointed  city  councilman  of  Nash- 
ville under  the  Johnson  presidency,  and  served  as  such 
until  elections  were  held.  In  1867  he  was  employed  as 
clerk  in  the  state  treasurer's  office  to  adjust  that  official's 
accounts,  which  he  found  to  be  $85,000  short,  but  which 
deficit  was  made  up  by  making  proper  entries  in  correc- 
tion of  errors.  The  state  treasurer  then  resigned  and 
Mr.  Rust  was  elected  to  the  office  by  the  general  assem- 
bly without  an  effort  on  his  part,  two  ballots  having  been 
cast  before  he  was  aware  that  he  was  a  candidate.  The 
state  soon  became  democratic  and,  he  being  a  republican, 
efforts  were  made  to  turn  him  out,  resulting  in  a  disas- 
trous law-suit,  which  made  a  poor  man  of  him  but  left 
him  with  a  clean  reputation  and  a  good  name.  He  re- 
sides at  Nashville,  Tenn.

Maj.  Darius  Rust  was  a  philanthropist  as  well  as  a 
Major;  ministered  to  the  wants  of  the  orphans  as 
well  as  to  administer  justice  to  the  people  while  on  the 
bench ;  he  was  a  kind  and  benevolent  fistther  to  the  fath- 
erless as  well  as  a  faithful  and  affectionate  husband ;  al- 
though his  blood  was  not  theirs,  the  orphans  were  his, 
made  so  by  the  strong  ties  of  humanity,  and  the  author 
sees  no  impropriety  in  arranging  them  in  this  work  as 
his  family.  "Hie  widow  resides  at  White  River  Junction, 
Vermont.  She  has  done  her  full  share  in  ministering  to 
the  wants  of  these  fatherless  children.

Hartland,  Vt.,  20  Jan.,  1826;  married  in  Woodstock, 
Vt.,  by  Rev.  D.  M.  Reed,  6  Jan.,  1862,  Sarah  N., 
daughter  of  Samuel*  and  Nancy  Trask,  of  North  Hart- 
land,  bom  in  Hartland,  22  May,  1831 ;  died  in  Chicago, 
29  Mar.,  1888,  without  a  struggle  or  moment's  warning, 
while  her  husband  was  talking  to  her.  Her  remains  lie 
buried  in  Oakwood  cemetery,  Hyde  Park,  Chicago,  HI. 

James  J.  Russ,  at  the  age  of  twelve  years,  went  away 
from  home  to  live, ;  he  worked  on  a  farm  in  the  summer 
season  and  went  to  school  in  the  winter ;  entered  Thet- 
ford  academy  and  fitted  for  college,  teaching  school  in 
the  winter  for  a  livelihood.  His  intention  was  to  enter 
Norwich  University,  a  military  college  at  Norwich,  Vt., 
but  after  the  death  of  Gen.  Ransom,  the  president  of  the 
college,  the  idea  of  a  profession  was  abandoned  and  the 
study  of  the  mechanic  arts  engaged  his  attention. 

After  his  marriage  he  settled  in  Woodstock,  Vt.,  and 
took  a  position  as  superintendent  of  a  sash,  door  and 
blind  factory,  where  he  remained  two  years,  when,  find- 
ing that  town  too  small  for  his  ambitious  spirit,  he  re- 
moved to  Worcester,  Massachusetts,  where  he  remained 
twenty-five  years.  He  was  in  Dennis  &  Lee's  wood- 
working establishment  in  Worcester  for  eight  years  as 
superintendent  and  draughtsman ;  in  1863  he  formed  a 
co-partnership  with  Lorin  Eddy  under  the  firm  name  of 
Russ  &  Eddy,  for  the  manuff^cture  of  builder's  finish  and 
mouldings,  picture  frames,  mirrors,  etc.  This  was  at 
one  time  the  largest  establishment  of  the  kind  in  the 
country.  In  1873  they  were  burned  out  and  the  com- 
pany dissolved.  Mr.  Russ  then  started  the  Worcester 
Moulding  Company,  and  after  running  that  a  few  years, 
sold  out  and  organized  the  Russ  Moulding  Company,  of 
Boston,  for  the  manufacture  of  interior  decorations,  mir- 
rors, curtain-poles,  etc.  This  institution  took  the  high- 
est prizes  for  its  goods.  He  continued  in  this  business 
five  years,  then  closed  up  and  removed  to  Chicago  to  en- 
gage in  the  trade  of  architecture. 

Mr.  Russ  is  quite  an  inventor,  having  obtained  seyeral 
valuable  patents.     Among  those  of  the  most  value  were 

'Samuel  Traak,  Km.,  was  an  extenalye  farmer  in  the  Connoticut  rlyer

Y.,  6  Mar.,  1819. 

Mr.  Elam  Rust,  being  a  mere  infant  when  his  father 
died,  and  his  mother  soon  re-marrying,  he  was  adopted 
into  the  family  of  his  aunt  Rebecca  Colbum,  where  he 
remained  until  he  was  of  proper  age  to  choose  his  own 
guardian  when  he  selected  one  of  the  neighbors.  Deacon 
Short.  He  received,  under  his  care,  such  educational 
advantages  as  the  town  academy  afforded.  Subsequently 
he  removed  to  Canton,  N.  Y.  and  engaged  himself  as  a 
teacher.  Here  he  attracted  the  favorable  notice  of  Hon. 
Silas  Wright,  the  eminent  statesman  and  politician,  then 
in  the  zenith  of  his  career,  who  took  Mr.  Rust  into  his 
ofBce  and  instructed  him  in  the  study  of  the  law.  Here 
he  married  Miss  Foote,  a  member  of  one  of  the  then 
leading  families  of  the  county.  While  his  partner,  Silas 
Wright,  was  governor  of  tiie  state  of  New  York,  he

spent  one  season  in  Albany,  during  a  session  of  the  leg- 
islature connecting  himself  with  the  ''Argus,"  the  leading 
newspaper  of  that  city.  Here  he  acquired  a  passion  for 
journalism  which  he  never  lost  and  which  appears  to 
have  been  inherited  by  his  sons.  Accordingly  when  in 
1840,  he  removed  to  the  west,  locating  in  Bellville,  111., 
he  united  journalism  with  the  practice  of  his  profession 
as  a  lawyer.  He  afterwards  removed  to  Waterloo,  Mon- 
roe county.  111.,  where  he  was  similarly  employed  and 
was  publishing  a  paper  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Mexican 
war.  At  the  close  of  the  struggle  he  was  publishing  a 
paper  and  practicing  law  at  Alton,  111.  A  ''trade'*  in 
newspaper  properties  led  to  another  change  in  location, 
this  time  to  Greenville,  111.  The  construction  of  rail- 
roads in  the  state  appeared  to  leave  this  place  tempora- 
rily at  one  side  and  he  removed  to  Decatur,  111.,  where 
law  and  journalism  again  divided  his  attention.  He 
died  at  this  place  7  Mar.,  1857,  leaving  a  widow  and 
four  surviving  children. 

Mr.  Elam  Rust  was  reputed  one  of  the  liest  lawyers  in 
his  part  of  the  state,  but  the  districts  in  which  he  lived 
did  not  originate,  in  that  early  day,  such  litigation  as 
would  enable  him  or  any  other  lawyer  to  achieve  special 
distinction  outside  of  the  mere  locality  in  which  he  lived. 
He  never  manifested  any  great  desire  for  political  pre- 
ferment, but  his  name  was  often  mentioned  in  connection 
with  prominent  offices,  and  one  year  he  lacked  only  a 
few  votes  of  receiving,  unasked,  the  democratic  nom- 
ination for  secretary  of  state  and  at  the  time  of  his 
death  was  the  state  attorney  for  the  district  in  which  he 
resided,  embracing  eight  or  nine  counties.  The  widow 
resides  in  Denver,  Colorado. 

In  a  letter  to  the  author  the  widow,  Mrs.  Mary  P.  F. 
Rust,  wrote :  '^It  is  not  often  that  a  lady  of  my  age — 
nearly  seventy-two — is  left,  after  raising  a  family,  with 
no  children,  no  brother  or  sister,  no  one  nearer  than  my 
grandchildren  and  neices ;  but  I  try  in  God's  strength  to 
bear  my  loneliness  as  well  as  maybe.  *  *  *  I  am 
of  a  cheerful  disposition,  always  looking  for  the  brightest 
side ;  I  found  it  pretty  hard  to  bear,  though,  when  I  lost

At  the  outbreak  of  the  war  Mr.  Rust  left  the  position 
of  drug  clerk  at  Council  Bluffs,  la.  and  enlisted  as  a 
private  in  Co.  B,  8th  lU.  In£  On  account  of  his 
knowledge  of  drugs  he  was  soon  transferred  to  the 
12th  HL  and  made  hospital  steward.  On  account  of 
his  knowledge  of  disease,  whUe  at  Corinth,  Miss.,  he 
obtained  a  d&charge  from  the  12th  HI.  and  received 
the  appointment  of  contract  surgeon  of  the  81st  O. 
Subsequently,  while  at  Yicksburg,  he  was  assigned  to 
tiie  21st  Wis.  Such  a  large  per  cent  was  sidtc  with 
serious  diseases,  he  sent  the  cases  to  the  regular  hos- 
pital at  Memphis.  He  soon  resigned  and  went  to 
Chicago,  111.,  where  he  gave  his  attention  to  the  study 
of  medicine.  He  was  assigned  to  the  Mound  City 
hospital,  then  in  chai^  of  Dr.  Wardner,  whose  atten- 
tion Melvin  soon  attracted  and  who  manifested  a 
good  deal  of  interest  in  him.  He  graduated  in  the 
spring  of  1866,  among  the  foremost  of  his  class.  Sub- 
sequently he  was  commissioned  by  the  governor  of 
lUhiois  as  full  surgeon  with  rank  of  major,  and  as- 
signed to  the  154  III.  Inf.  He  was  then  about  twenty- 
four  years  old  and  is  said  to  liave  been  the  youngest 
surgeon  ever  commissioned.  He  acoompuiied  his 
regiment  to  Nashville  where  he  was  soon  relieved  and 
put  in  charge  of  the  post  hospitaL  While  in  charge 
of  the  hospital  he  received  injuries  fix>m  a  fractious

EIGHTH  GENERATION.  417 

361  Major  Henry  Appleton^  {ElisJia  Converse^^ 
OersTw/m^  Oersham,^  Daniel^*"  Nathaniel^  Israel^ 
Henry^)  was  boi-n  in  Springfield,  26  Nov.,  1832;  mar- 
ried in  Chicago,  111.,  28  Dec,  1864,  Sarah  Steriing, 
youngest  daughter  of  Gen.  Charles  and  Mary  Ann  (Ster- 
ling) De  Forest,  born  in  Bridgport,  Conn.,  30  Oct., 
1834.     They  reside  in  Chicago. 

Maj.  Henry  A.  Rust's  father  died  in  1834,  leaving  a 
daughter,  five  years  and  Henry,  not  yet  two  years  old. 

His  boyhood  and  youth  were  passed  in  the  clear  and 
loving  atmosphere  of  this  early  smitten  household,  whose 
head  was  a  woman  of  large  intellect  and  quiet  dignity ; 
one  who,  having  lost  a  noble  object  of  a  noble  love, 
thenceforward  lived  enveloped  in  its  ever-present  precious 
memory,  so  that,  while  grandly  true  to  loving  home  duty 
and  the  broader  social  duties,  still,  of  her  it  might  be 
said  that  though  "living  in  this  world,  she  was  not  of  it." 
Under  this  home  care  and  influence,  and  the  instructions 
of  the  public  schools  of  Springfield,  was  passed  the 
childhood  and  youth  of  Henry  until  he  was  fifteen  years 
old,  when  he  was  sent  to  SuflBeld,  Connecticut,  where,  at 
the  Connecticut  Literary  institution,  he  completed  his 
studies  preparatory  to  entering  upon  a  business  career. 

Upon  leaving  school,  he  assumed  a  clerkship  in  a  mer- 
cantile establishment  in  Springfield,  continuing  in  the 
same  business  until  he  attained  his  majority,  when  the 
narrow  limits  of  opportunity  in  New  England  and  the 
wider  field  for  efibrt  and  enterprise  in  the  west  combined 
to  fix  his  determination  to  "go  west  etc."  And  his  clerk- 
ship engagement  expiring  one  evening  at  eight  o'clock, 
the  next  morning  at  eight  o'clock  he  started  upon  the 
westward  journey,  which,  ending  March  2,  1854,  brought 
him  to  the  cherished  goal  of  his  eager  hopes — Chicago. 

Shortly  after  his  arrival  he  secured  employment  in  the 
office  of  Messrs.  Stone  &  Boomer,  railroad  bridge  build- 
ers, and  thus  entered  upon  the  business  which  was  to  con- 
stitute his  "life  occupation,"  for,  since  1854,  his  business 
life  has  been  devoted  to  public  work  in  the  departments 
of  railroads,  their  organization  and  construction  and  rail- 
road bridge  building.

418  HENRY  BUST  AND  FAMILY. 

In  1855  he  went  to  Davenport,  Iowa,  to  engage  in  the 
construction  of  the  Rock  Island  bridge  across  the  Missis- 
sippi river,  the  fii'st  bridge  ever  built  across  that  mighty 
stream,  and  upon  its  completion  in  April,  1856,  he  was 
upon  the  locomotive  that  first  crossed  the  stmcture,  which 
was  the  avant  courier  of  the  immense  trans-Mississippi 
railway  tmffic. 

Mr.  Rust  has  been  connected  with  the  building  of  very 
many  of  the  other  existing  railroad  bridges  that  cross  the 
Mississippi,  Missouri,  Arkansas  and  other  principal  riv- 
ers of  the  country,  including  the  Hudson  river  bridge  at 
Poughkeepsie.  His  manufacturing  works  have  been  at 
Chicago,  where  also  has  been  his  principal  office,  with 
branch  offices  in  New  York  and  Houston,  Texas. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  civil  war  he  resigned  a  railroad 
secretaryship  and  August  12,  1861,  entered  his  country's 
service  as  Adjutant  27th  HI.  Inf.,  participating  in  the 
many  battles  and  sciges  of  the  historic  campaigns  of  the 
armies  of  the  Mississippi  and  the  Cumberland  ;  opemting 
in  the  states  of  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Mississippi  and 
Georgia ;  notably,  Belmont,  Island  No.  10,  Corinth, 
Stone  River,  Chicamauga,  Rocky  Face  Ridge,  Kenesaw 
Mountain,  Atlanta,  etc.  After  the  battle  of  Belmont, 
November  8,  1861,  through  the  written  special  order  of 
General  Grant,  he  was  presented  with  a  horse,  which  he 
rode  throughout  the  war,  it  being  one  of  three  horses 
which  he  captured  from  the  rebel  forces  at  the  battle  and 
sent  wounded  men  upon  to  the  rear. 

At  the  seige  of  Island  No.  10,  he  was  Assistant  Adju- 
tant-General of  the  land  forces  co-operating  with  Com- 
modore Foote  and  from  their  headquarters  after  personal 
interview  with  Commodore  Foote  and  General  Buford, 
he  was  made  the  bearer  of  dispatches  to  Maj.-Gen.  John 
Pope,  commander  of  the  army  of  the  Mississippi,  who, 
with  his  large  army  was  then  encamped  al>out  three  miles 
in  rear  of  and  occupying  New  Madrid,  Mo.  At  ten 
o'clock  on  the  evening  of  March  19,  1862,  disguised  as  a 
civilian  countryman  and  in  company  with  a  genuine 
native,  familiar  with  that  territory,  he  embarked  in  a 
skiff',  and  by  a  tortuous  course  crossed  the  peninsula  and 
finally. emerging  upon  the  broad  Mississippi,  some  three

miles  above  New  Madrid,  at  about  one  o'clock  in  the 
morning.  After  escaping  the  sentry's  fire  a  landing  was 
effected  in  the  thick  darkness.  Capt.  Mower,  post  com- 
mandant immediately  sent  an  escort  with  Adjutant  Rust 
to  General  Pope's  headquarters  where  they  arrived  at 
two  o'clock  in  the  morning.  A  personal  interview  with 
General  Pope  was  had  at  once,  resulting  in  a  meeting  of 
Pope's  general  officers  the  next  forenoon  for  the  purpose 
of  hearing  Adjutant  Rust's  account  of  his  trip,  and  con- 
sidering the  matter  of  a  junction  of  the  forces  above 
Island  No.  10,  with  the  New  Madrid  army,  the  opening 
up  of  the  Mississippi  river  and  the  dislodgement  of  the 
enemy  then  occupying  Island  No.  10,  as  also  the  eastern 
shore  of  the  river.  The  assembled  generals  present 
were :  Pope,  Stanley,  Paine,  Hamilton,  Palmer  and  sev- 
eral others.  During  the  conference  and  while  Adjutant 
Rust  was  explaining  the  route  by  which  he  came  across 
the  peninsula,  Gen.  Schuyler  Hamilton  jumped  up  and 
with  a  prefatory  and  vigorous  expletive,  said  :  "I  believe 
we  can  get  boats  through  that  way,"  to  which  Adjutant 
Rust  responded  with  emphatic  assent.  The  following 
night  Adjutant  Rust  returned  with  dispatches  from  Gen- 
eral Pope  to  Commodoi-e  Foote  and  General  Buford, 
which  despatches  gave  information  of  the  adoption  of  the 
plan  to  make  a  channel  through  the  timber,  across  the 
peninsula,  (cutting  off  trees  several  feet  below  the  sur- 
face of  the  water  where  necessary) — in  general,  conform- 
able to  the  aforesaid  route.  This  enterprise  was  promptly 
undertaken  and  successfully  executed  resulting  in  the 
evacuation  of  Island  No.  10  and  the  capture  of  many 
prisoners  and  munitions  of  war. 

At  Rocky  Face  Ridge,  Major  Rust,  while  in  command 
of  the  advance  line  was  wounded  in  the  head.  Aft«r  the 
battle  of  Chickamauga,  by  special  order  of  General 
Grant,  he  was  detailed  for  service  in  the  engineering  de- 
partment upon  bridge  construction,  fortifications  etc., 
thereafter  cheerfully  rendering  service  of  that  character. 
During  the  Atlanta  campaign  from  Chattanooga  to  At- 
lanta, Maj.  Rust  had  charge  of  the  construction  of  field 
work  and  fortifications,  aggregating  more  than  thirty 
miles  in  length.

420  HEyRY  RUST  AND  FAMILY. 

Adjutant  Rust  was  successively  promoted  Captain  and 
Major  of  his  regiment,  and  with  it  was  '* mustered  out" 
after  more  than  three  years'  service. 

Returning  to  Chicago  after  the  termination  of  his  army 
life,  he  married  Sarah  De  Forest,  and  immediately  pro- 
ceeded to  Nashville,  Tenn.,  where  he  had  his  office  dur- 
ing the  following  year,  being  engaged  in  the  execution 
of  heavy  contracts  entered  into  with  the  government,  for 
the  re-building  of  railroad  bridges  upon  the  various  lines 
in  Tennessee,  Alabama  and  Georgia,  destroyed  during 
the  war. 

Since  1866,  Mr.  Rust's  residence  has  been  continu- 
ously in  Chicago  and  his  business  interests  centered 
there. 

The  sacredly  patriotic  regard  in  which  Mr.  Rust  holds 
his  army  associations  causes  him  to  affiliate  with  his  old- 
time  comrades  in  the  army  organizations  of  the  Grand 
Army  of  the  Republic,  Society  of  the  Army  of  the  Cum- 
berland and  the  military  order.  Loyal  Legion  United 
States. 

Mr.  Rust  is  a  member  of  several  Masonic  organizations, 
also  of  representative  philanthropic,  religious  and  other 
organizations  of  his  city,  not  the  least  amongst  which  is 
that  of  member  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  "The  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago,"  which  has  received  an  endowment  fund 
of  $1,600,000  from  that  wealthy  philanthropist,  John 
D.  Rockefeller.

and  Sophia  (Chidsey)  Humphrey  of  Canton  Center,  born 
there,  2  Aug.,  1830. 

Mr.  Rust's  education  was  received  in  the  public  schools 
of  his  county  and  Amherst  academy;  but  like  many 
others  of  his  time  he  was  obliged  to  turn  from  his  studies 
and  take  up  the  sterner  duties  of  life,  and  at  an  early 
age  began  his  business  career  in  the  Collinsville,  Ct.,  axe 
works  with  which  his  father  was  associated  in  the  years 
of  1840-6.  For  two  years  he  continued  in  this  business, 
then,  ambitious  and  desirous  of  completing  what  he 
deemed  an  insufficient  education  he  began  the  study  of 
medicine.  During  this  period  he  undertook  the  drug 
business  and  for  nearly  a  decade  conducted  the  village 
drug  store,  there  acquiring  a  knowledge  of  the  theory 
and  practice  of  medicine  that  was  of  eminent  value  in 
after  years. 

The  confining  character  of  his  position  warned  him  of 
departing  health  and  for  two  years  he  devoted  himself  to 
active  &rm  life  at  South  Deerfield,  Massachusetts.  He 
then  became  associated  with  business  firms  in  New  York 
City  and  East  Hampton,  and  for  eighteen  years  traveled 
in  their  interests.

426  HENRT  BUST  AND  FAMILY. 

At  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  in  1861,  Mr.  Rust  of- 
fered his  services  to  the  government  and  joined  the  med- 
ical corps  in  the  field  before  Antietam,  serving  with  Sur- 
geon Warner  of  the  16th  Connecticut  Regiment.  He 
was  ordered  by  General  Burnside  to  superintend  the 
transportation  of  wounded  men  from  the  field  to  their 
homes,  a  delicate  and  responsible  position.  Upon  his  re- 
turn he  saw  active  service  at  City  Point  and  in  the  mem- 
orable days  before  Petersburg.  At  these  points  he  was 
acting  assistant  surgeon,  and  with  a  corps  of  competent 
assistants  did  much  to  alleviate  the  sufibrings  of  the 
wounded,  and  was  in  a  position  to  see  many  of  the  hor- 
rors of  modem  warfia.re.  At  the  close  of  the  war  Mr. 
Rust  settled  in  Chicago,  and  for  many  years  conducted 
the  Central  ware-house. 

While  successful  as  a  business  man  and  generalizer,  he 
is  best  known  in  two  entirely  different  fields,  philan- 
thropy and  science.  The  first  was  an  inheritance  and  a 
labor  of  love ;  the  second  the  result  of  inate  powers  of 
observation  and  a  desii-e  for  that  knowledge  which  enables 
one  to  bestow  the  most  good  upon  the  greatest  number. 
His  views  of  philanthi'opy  were  early  received  from  his 
father,  Nelson  Rust,  who  was  one  of  the  earliest  and  lead- 
ing abolitionists,  and  who  lost  no  opportuity  to  impress  up- 
on his  son  the  principles  that  are  now  recognized  as  em- 
bodying the  true  rights  of  mankind.  On  his  death-bed  he 
uttered  the  following  prophetic  words  :  "My  son,  I  am 
about  to  die.  I  had  hoped  to  live  to  see  the  end  of  slavery, 
but  I  shall  not ;  I  hope  you  may,  but  I  fear  you  will  see  this 
country  bathed  in  a  bloody  war."  Not  only  by  precept 
but  by  example  was  the  young  man  moulded  to  perpetu- 
ate his  father's  work.  The  homestead  was  a  station  on 
the  famous  "underground  railroad,"  and  he  was  con- 
stantly meeting  the  leading  anti-slavery  workers,  and 
early  counted  John  Brown  and  his  sons  among  his 
friends,  and  in  ensuing  years  leading  up  to  the  war  of 
the  rebellion,  was  always  an  active  partizan  in  the  cause. 

After  the  war,  and  during  his  residence  in  Chicago, 
the  exodus  into  Kansas  began.  The  sufferings  of  this 
unfortunate  people  at  once  enlisted  his  sympathy,  and  he 
was  for  many  months  a  worker  in  and  the  honored  secre-

tary  of  the  Chicago  Relief  Association.  From  this  ques- 
tion his  interest  was  transferred  to  the  Indian  tribes  un- 
der the  charge  of  the  government  and  he  is  an  active 
member  of  an  association  for  their  protection  and  preser- 
vation. That  his  interest  in  John  Brown  and  his  work 
has  not  flagged  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  at  the  present 
writing  he  is  a  plaintiff  in  a  case  to  protect  the  sons  and 
daughters  of  the  hero  of  Harper's  Ferry  from  certain  de- 
signing persons. 

While  engaged  in  business  in  Massachusetts  and  Con- 
necticut he  began  the  study  and  collection  of  objects  rep- 
resenting the  pre-historic  races  of  the  United  States, 
which  in  time  resulted  in  an  extremely  valuable  collec- 
tion giving  him  a  very  important  national  reputation 
as  an  archseologist.  His  researches  among  the  mounds 
of  Missouri  and  other  localities  have  been  particularly 
successful,  and  he  was  among  the  first  to  suggest 
the  theory  of  the  origin  of  these  people  held  by  scien- 
tists to-day.  While  living  in  Chicago,  Mr.  Rust  made 
an  extensive  exploring  trip  to  Mexico  and  enriched  his 
cabinet  with  some  valuable  finds.  On  other  occasions  he 
visited  the  Pueblos  of  New  Mexico,  the  cliff-dwellers  of 
Arizona,  and  all  the  localities  of  interest,  the  results  of 
which  and  many  explorations  in  Southern  California,  are 
to  be  seen  in  his  famous  collection  at  Pasadena.  Mr. 
Rust  is  a  member  of  several  scientific  societies  including 
the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Sci- 
ence and  vice-president  of  the  Pasadena  Academy  of  Sci- 
ences. In  1881  he  removed  to  Pasadena,  California,  and 
began  the  culture  of  oranges.  He  is  identified  with  the 
notable  progress  of  this  locality,  especially  the  advance- 
ment of  its  people.  He  was  early  president  of  the  Pasa- 
dena Literary  Association.  In  1886  he  was  business 
manager  of  the  Citrus  Fair  at  Chicago,  which  he  had  for 
many  years  advocated,  and  which  did  so  much  to  place 
the  products  of  Southern  California  fairly  before  the 
countiy.  In  1889  he  was  appointed  Indian  agent  for 
Southern  California,  and  the  appointment  was  a  surprise 
to  him  as  it  came  unsought  and  unexpected.  Probably 
his  fitness  for  the  position  had  become  known  to  the  de- 
partment during  his  travels  in  antiquarian  fields.     Since

in  the  establishment  of  a  mannal  training  school  for  the 
Indians  of  the  Pacific  Slope.  In  1890  he  secured  a  gift 
to  the  government  of  eighty  acres  of  land  for  this  pur- 
pose. The  land  is  at  Perris,  San  Diego  Co.,  California. 
Gen.  T.  J.  Moigan,  Commissioner  of  Indian  Affairs,  vis-

ordered  to  prepare  a  plan  for  a  building  to  cost  $12,000 
to  start  with.

397  Dr.  James'  {James ^^  Stephen^  Elisha^  Dan- 
iel^*'  Jonathan^  Isra^l^  Henry^)  was  bom  in  West- 
moreland, Oneida  county,  N.  Y.,  10  Nov.,  1824;  mar- 
ried in  Brighton,  Ohio,  11  Jan.,  1853,  Sophia  J., 
daughter  of  Philip  L.  and  Serena  S.  Goss,  bom  in 
Brecksville,  Ohio,  17  Jan.,  1835. 

Dr.  James  Rust  commenced  the  study  of  medicine  in 
Wellington,  Ohio,  in  1850  and  attended  lectures  at  the 
Western  Reserve  Medical  College,  in  1852 ;  graduated 
from  Cleveland  Homeopathic  College  in  1864.  He  was 
a  druggist  at  Wellington  for  ten  years  and  had  a  contin- 
ual professional  practice  from  the  time  he  graduated  in 
1864,  until  his  death  at  his  home  in  Wellington,  Ohio,  3 
Apr.,  1889.  He  had  held  the  oflSces  of  town  clerk  and 
treasurer. 

Dr.  Rust  was  a  self-made  man,  being  thrown  upon  his 
own  resources  at  twelve  years  of  age ;  at  this  tender  age 
he  commenced  laying  the  foundation  for  the  rich  legacy 
of  an  unstained  name  which  he  leaves  for  his  descendants 
to  look  back  upon. 

^  And,  when  the  stream 
Which  overflowed  the  soul  was  passed  away, 
A  consciousness  remained  that  it  had  left^ 
Deposited  upon  the  silent  shore, 
Of  memory,  images  and  precious  thoughts 
That  shall  not  die  and  cannot  be  destroyed.'' 

He  was  a  good  man,  a  true  and  consistant  doctor,  an 
affectionate  and  just  companion  and  father.  His  life  had 
been  one  of  remarkably  good  health  until  weakened  by 
exposure  resulting  in  pneumonia  about  nine  years  before 
he  died ;  but  an  undue  exposure  resulting  in  a  second  at- 
tack of  pneumonia  carried  him  away  in  the  short  space 
of  six  days.     The  widow  resides  at  Wellington. 

Their  children  were  : 
i  •     Frank,"  b.  16  July,  1854 ;  d.  23  Mar.,  1866.

448  Oeorge  Washington*  {Elam,^  Tlteron,^  Niel,^

was  born  in  Waddington,  N.  Y.,  22  Feb.,  1838  ;  married 
in  Baraboo,  Sauk  county,  Wis.,  23  Mar.,  1865;  Miss 
Carrie  Ophelia,  daughter  of  James  Alexander  and  Susan 
(Vreeland)  Maxwell,  born  at  Big  Foot  Prairie,  Wads- 
worth  county.  Wis.,  24  Feb.,  1843.  He  died  21  Aug., 
1888.     The  widow  resides  at  Boulder,  Colorado. 

During  his  boyhood  George  W.  Rust  acquired  a  know- 
ledge of  the  printer's  art  in  the  offices  owned  by  his 
father,  and  in  these  and  common  district  schools,  which 
never  rose  to  the  dignity  of  passing  pupils  clear  through 
the  arithmetic  or  grammar,  he  acquired  his  education. 
In  the  fall  of  1856  his  father  associated  him  with  him- 
self in  the  publication  of  a  newspaper  at  Decatur,  111., 
and  almost  immediately  turned  over  to  him  the  entire 
management.  His  father  died  in  the  spring  of  1857, 
leaving  him  at  nineteen  with  this  business  and  a  mother 
and  four  brothers  and  sisters  on  his  hands.  The  print- 
ing material  proved  not  to  have  been  paid  for  and  had  to 
be  given  up,  and  with  barely  money  enough  to  reach 
Omaha,  Nebraska,  he  removed  to  that  place,  working  as 
a  printer  and  doing  editorial  work  when  opportunity  of- 
fei-ed.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  war  he  was  the  editor  but 
not  proprietor  of  the  first  daily  newspaper  ever  regularly 
published  in  the  state  of  Nebraska.  Seeking  a  better 
field,  he  removed  to  Chicago  in  1862,  and  secured  a  con- 
nection with  the  Chicago  ''Times,"  and  was  assigned  to 
duty  as  police-court  reporter.  Shortly  afterward  a  rail- 
road department  was  organized  on  the  paper  and  he  was 
placed  in  charge  and  made  it  quite  a  feature  of  the  great 
daily.  He  was  from  time  to  time  promoted  by  regular 
gradation  to  the  positions  of  law  editor  and  army  con'es- 
pondent,  then  a  general  outside  editorial  writer,  in  which 
position  all  sorts  of   special   work  was  assigned  him.

460  HENRY  RUST  AND  FAMILY. 

Later  on  he  was  promoted  to  financial  and  commercial 
editor,  the  most  responsible  position  on  the  staff  of  a 
great  metropolitan  newspaper.  He  thas  made  the  round 
from  the  bottom  to  the  top  of  the  ladder.  While  in  this 
position  his  attention  was  attracted  to  the  loose  method  in 
which  the  grain  trade  was  conducted,  and  he  drew  the 
'*  Eastman  warehouse  law/'  and  by  dint  of  persistent  ad- 
vocacy in  the  "Times"  and  equally  persistent  personal  so- 
licitation among  members  of  the  legislature,  he  procured 
its  passage.  .  After  eight  years'  service  on  the  "Times," 
he  resigned  in  1870,  and  started  a  Sunday  paper  on  his 
own  account.  But  the  time  had  not  yet  arrived  in  that 
city  for  an  independent  publication  of  this  character,  and 
after  a  brief  career  it  was  abandoned.  Then  he  founded 
the  "National  Live  Stock  Journal,"  which  marked  the  be- 
ginning of  successful  live-stock  journalism  in  the  United 
States.  He  gave  close  attention  to  every  business  detail 
and  made  such  close  study  of  matters  within  the  scope 
of  the  paper  as  to  himself  become  an  authority  on  pedi- 
grees and  many  other  matters  connected  with  the  breed- 
ing and  management  of  improved  stock,  and  in  a  few 
years  the  paper  became  the  recognized  authority  on  such 
matters  in  the  United  States,  and  was  productive  of  a 
handsome  income.  About  the  time  the  publication  of 
the  "Journal"  was  undertaken,  Mr.  Rust  invented  a  sys- 
tem of  moveable  stereotype  blocks  to  be  used  by  news- 
papers in  place  of  the  "patent  insides,"  and  at  the  time 
of  the  great  fire  had  fitted  up  a  printing  office  and  stereo- 
type foundry  to  engage  in  their  manufacture ;  the  fire, 
however,  so  crippled  his  resources  that  this  purpose 
could  not  be  carried  out.  The  idea  was  taken  up  by 
others  and  is  the  basis  upon  which  several  large  business 
establishments  have  been  built.  Owing  to  Mr.  Rust's 
declining  health  the  "Journal"  was  sold  out  in  1876,  and 
he  removed  to  Boulder,  Colorado.  Here  he  gave  his  at- 
tention to  the  concentration  and  reduction  of  tixe  precious 
ores  and  incidentally  to  mining,  mineralogy,  metallurgy 
etc.,  but  it  did  not  pay  and  being  offered  a  position  on 
the  staff  as  mining  editor  by  the  "New  York  Daily 
Graphic,"  and  being  assured  that  most  of  his  work  could 
be  done  in  Colorado,  he  resolved  to  return  to  journalism. 


Digitized  by  VjOOQIC 


NINTH  GENERATION.  461 

He  made  the  "Graphic"  the  best  daily  mining  paper  in 
New  York,  and  his  descriptions  of  mines  and  processes 
were  regarded  by  mining  men  as  among  the  most  accurate 
and  interesting  which  appeared  in  the  American  press. 
This  position  he  surrendered  on  account  of  inability  to 
longer  travel  to  the  mining  camps  and  make  personal  in- 
spection of  the  mines.  He  settled  down  on  a  small  farm 
adjoining  the  city  of  Boulder  and  gave  himself  up  to  the 
study  of  horticulture  in  connection  with  which  he  soon 
became  widely  known.  But  he  soon  returned  to  journal- 
ism :  this  time  on  the  editorial  staff  of  the  "Breeder's 
Gazette,''  of  Chicago.  He  was  engaged  by  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture  to  examine  certain 
questions  connected  with  the  live  stock  interests,  re- 
quiring special  knowledge  and  skill.  He  never  dis- 
played much  desire  for  political  preferment,  though  an 
active  party  worker,  but  served  as  trustee  of  the  Col- 
orado Agricultural  College  and  in  1884  was  the  candi- 
date of  his  party  on  the  state  ticket  for  regent  of  the 
Colorado  State  Univeraity. 

For  several  years  before  his  death  he  had  been  driven 
from  one  vocation  to  another  and  fropi  one  locality  to 
another  by  constant  decline  of  health  until  his  useful  life 
was  ended.  The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  notice  of 
his  death  in  the  "Rocky  Mountain  News,"  Denver,  Col- 
orado : 

"On  the  twenty-first  day  of  last  month  there  passed 
away  one  who  has  left  his  impression  firmly  stiimped  in 
the  world  of  live  stock  literature.  The  name  of  George 
W.  Rust  is  familiar  to  all  breeders  of  fine  live  stock  as 
one  of  the  best  writers  in  that  line  of  work.  In  1862  he 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  but  never  practiced.  ♦  •  ♦ 
During  the  past  year  he  has  been  doing  a  considerable 
amount  of  valuable  work  for  the  bureau  of  animal  in- 
dustry at  Washington.  He  was  courageous  and  aggress- 
ive almost  to  a  fault,  yet  his  heart  was  as  tender  and  sym- 
pathetic as  a  woman's.  Scrupulously  honest  and  honor- 
able to  the  last  degree,  his  mental  and  moral  natures 
were  such  that  it  was  absolutely  impossible  for  him  to  do 
anything  his  conscience  did  not  approve.  His  was  a 
noble  career."

Dbab  Db.  Habtzell:— The  following  lineB  are  excerpted  flrom  a  poem  of 
some  length  on  Aftrica,  in  conne  of  preparation .  I  send  them ,  not  beeanae  I  think 
they  merit  much  conaideration  as  literature,  but,  having  long  believed  it  right 
to  Bay  pleaaant  things  of  faithful  men  before  they  are  taken  to  Heaven,  I  desire 
to  record  tn  this  manner,  my  appreciation  of  the  venerable  man  above  named, 
whom  we  all  love  and  honor.  He  has  never  seen  these  verses,  and  might 
not,  if  heshonld  read  them,  consent  to  their  publication;  bnt  I  know  he  will 
be  gracious  enough  to  pardon  me  for  not  allowing  him  a  choice  in  this  matter. 

Yours  truly, 

James  Stkpiikkson. 

Man  of  the  cloudless  &oe — ^bom  optimist — 

God's  gift  to  our  transplanted  Africa, 
Thy  name  stands  high  upon  the  patriot  list 

Of  men  who  turned  her  darkness  into  day! 

'T  is  evening-time  with  thee,  my  friend,  and  yet 
Youth  from  thy  heart  has  still  its  wonted  flow ; 

And  eddies  on  thy  cheeks  in  smiles  we  met 
While  Freedom's  battle  raged,  long  years  ago. 

Before  unreasoning,  cruel  mobs  to  stand, 
And  trumpet-tongued,  unwelcome  truth  proclaim  ; 

To  undertake,  with  less  than  Gideon's  band. 
The  war  with  slavery — our  Nation's  shame ; 

To  cast  thy  lot  with  the  oppressed  and  poor, 
And  in  the  Church  of  God  be  under  ban ; 

To  shut  against  thyself  promotion's  door — 
This  was  thy  work — and  it  required  a  man  ! 

A  Simeon-gladness  is  thy  great  reward. 
In  seeing  the  salvation  of  these  lands. 

And,  through  thy  schools,  the  stretching  to  the  Lord 
Of  many  thousand  Ethiopian  hands. 

The  peace  that  blessed  good  Simeon  be  thine ; 

But  we  could  wish  thy  chariot  might  stav 
Till  all  the  old  ''Dark  Continent"  shall  shine 

With  Christ-light,  ushering  in  the  Gospel  Day. 

All  good  seed  of  thy  life  shall  yet  appear — 
In  bonds  of  love  the  races  shall  be  one ; 

And  then  perchance  some  unborn  Whittier 
Will  sing  in  fuller  song  what  thou  hast  done. 

Fairwaimtf  Cincinnati, 

— fVoTO  the  Christian  Educator.
