I am trying to learn if the following is still protected by copyright law as the Canadian Inventors web page wishes to publish the item below and other items on my Canadian born inventor great grandfather who had his business and lived in Worcester, Ma., for many years, but need to learn first if the items are still protected. Any ideas on finding this out? The publishing company is out of business and I can't find anything about it on the web. It may have been bought. If the copyright was not renewed it would have been up in 1958. I am going to submit this query to the various Mass mailing lists I belong to in order to see if anyone else might be able to help me on this. I have already E-mailed a slew of libraries in Massachusetts. =========================Jacqueline Sleeper Russell======== HISTORY OF MASSACHUSETTS INDUSTRIES Their INCEPTION, Growth And Success By ORRA L. STONE Volume 11 Illustrated Boston-Chicago THE S. J. CLARKE PUBLISHING CO. (The Library of Congress number for History of Massachusetts Industries is 30-10682. It was published in 4 volumes in 1930) Pages 668 - 672 FRANK HENRY SLEEPER Frank Henry Sleeper, President of SLEEPER & HARTLEY, Inc., of Worcester, a corporation engaged in the manufacture of spring making and wire forming machinery, enjoys merited fame as an inventor. He was born in Coaticook, Quebec, Canada, November 26, 1862, a son of Wright and Philinda (Cole) Sleeper, and was there reared and educated. After his graduation from Coaticook Academy he learned the trade followed by his father, who was a machine builder, and made rapid progress, so that at an early age he began his career as a contracting engineer. Since that time he had been engaged in the designing and building of special machinery, as well as electrical and steam engineering. For many years he confined his business to Canada, but his reputation as an inventor and builder extended far beyond the limits of the Dominion, and in 1907 his services were solicited by the MORGAN SPRING COMPANY, of Worcester. Mr. Sleeper accepted their offer and was engineer for the company for four years, or until 1911, when he embarked in business under his own name. He is president of SLEEPER & HARTLEY, Inc, and spends but a short time each year in Worcester, residing for the winter months in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he owns a beautiful home, and the remainder of the year at his summer home on Lake Massawippi in the Province of Quebec, Canada. During his active working years Mr. Sleeper has invented, designed and built approximately five hundred different successful machines. The boldness and originality of his conceptions is only equaled by the remarkable perfection of the mechanical details. In every field entered he has produced new types of improved machinery, marking radical advances upon anything previously done. In the early '90s he was a pioneer on the development of electrical apparatus, including continuous current generators and motors with fields wound in series, shunt and compound. He achieved the almost unbelievable in producing a series-wound constant-potential generator. In 1891 he built what was probably the first self-starting, single-phase, alternating current motor made in Canada, and also designed both alternating current generators and motors of an induction type. Other electrical inventions include a great variety of transformers and automatic voltage regulators for three-wire systems and for industrial generators subject to fluctuations of speed. He was the inventor of several lifting jacks, among them the jack so well known under the name of the "Norton Jack." In the field of machine tools he built new types of engine lathes, upright drills, punches and shears, and presses; in the typographical field he invented and built printing presses, paper cutters, etc. The rotary steam engines which he invented and built were remarkable for their high speeds and steam economy; other inventions in this line also include condensers and rotary pumps, but the field in which he will be remembered longest is that of special automatic wire forming machinery. Here his inventions include a very large number of special wire forming machines, wire rolling machinery of many kinds, spring coiling and spring winding machinery, spring setting, spring grinding and spring hooking machinery. It is impossible to enumerate these machines in detail but mention should be made of the remarkable Flexible metallic Tube Coiling Machines; the equally remarkable Tungsten Filament Coiling Machines for producing Tungsten filaments of the coiled type used in incandescent lamps, which last machine proved to be the keystone in the nitrogen lamp industry; and a new type of noiseless wire nail machine. To this list should be added machines for armoring BX and Parkway Cable, staple machines, swaggers for screw wire, and continuous wire drawing machinery. On December 3rd, 1883, Mr. Sleeper was married in Coaticook, Canada, to Miss Lilla Anne Hopkinson. They are the parents of three daughters: Lotta Frances, the wife of William H. Blount, sales engineer of SLEEPER & HARTLEY, Inc.; Ethel May, the wife of Raymond Russell, an insurance man of Worcester; and Verna Lilla, the wife of William H. Welch. ====================================================== HISTORY OF MASSACHUSETTS INDUSTRIES; their inception, growth and success: Author: STONE, Orra Laville, 1873 - Publication: Boston, Chicago, S .J.

Vol. 2 page 4 Jonathan S. PHILLIPS, the immigrant ancestor of Horace Wendell PHILLIPS, is said to be of English descent. The first record of him is at Westminster, MA. where he appears to have settled during the revolution. He married there, Elizabeth BEMIS, daughter of William and Rezina (WILDER) BEMIS, one of the old county families. He bought the place on which he was living at Westminster of Samuel GERRISH, Nov.9,1793. He seems to have been a quiet citizen, devoting his life strickly to the business of farming. When his son grew up, they moved together to Templeton, an adjacent town. The son's name is given as Jonathan,Jr. ans as Jonathan S. PHILLIPS in different records. The father signed a mortgage of what was called the son's farm at Templeton, July 28, 1819, to Peter PIERCE, chair maker. This farm contained only 11 acres. Johnathan PHILLIPS, Sr. sold his farm at Westminster, Aug. 16, 1806, to Samuel WHITNEY. He seems to have prospered for we find him holding a mortgage on the land of Elisha HALL, of Westminster, in 1802, before his removal. He died at Templeton in 1826 at an advanced age. Joel BARTLETT was administrator of his estate.

This may be a little off-topic, but does anyone have access to any kind of census index for Rhode Island, 1910? I am looking for George R. Baker aged about 21. Craig

History of Worcester County, Mass. Vol 1 page 22 Captain Samuel GREEN, the only son of Thomas and Rebecca (HILLS) , daughter of Joseph HILLS of Malden, later of Newbury, Mass.) GREEN who came to full age, was born Oct. 5, 1670. He was one of the principal men in Leicester or Strawberry Hill, where he settled in 1717, the town was granted Feb. 10, 1713-14 and Capt. Samuel GREEN was on the cmmittee with Col. William DUDLEY of Roxbury and others to settle it. He owned 3 lots of 40 acres each, and 2 lots of 30 acres each in the town of Leicester, and was highly respected and very influential. The vicinity of his old homestead, now a village, is called after him, Greenville. He built a house, grist mill and saw mill. At the first town meeting of which there is a record, he was elected moderator,first selectman and grand juror, and he held like offices in the town of Leicester the remainder of his life. Governor WASHBURN,in his history, calls him a prominent man, and he is honored as one of the pioneers. He also owned land in Hardwick, Mass. He was always called "Captain" a rank he won at Malden, and he was the first captain of the Leicester company of militia. Capt Samuel GREEN married Elizabeth, daughter of Lt. Phineas UPHAM, who had arrived from England, Sept. 2, 1635, settled at Weymouth, Mass., moved to Malden about 1650,and was one of the original proprietors of Quinsigamond. Capt. Samuel died Jan. 2, 1735-6. His will was mad at Malden just before he came to Leiceste to settle, April 18, 1717, and it was proved Feb. 5, 1735-6. His wife died at Leicester probably in 1761. Their children were: Elizabeth, born April 4, 1693 marrid to Thomas RICHARDSON of Malden Rebecca, born April 4, 1695 married to Samuel BALDWIN (according to Malden records, the first 2 were twins, born April 4, 1695) Ruth, married to Joshua NICHOLS Thomas, born 1699 married to Martha LYNDE in Malden on Jan. 13, 1725-6 Lydia, married to her cousin, Abiathan VINTON of Malden on April 30, 1723.

Capt. John PRESCOTT, of Concord, a lineal descendant of the father of Lancaster, was the senior officer of a battalion of 500 men raised by Mass. to join the expedition of Vice-Admiral VERNON against Carthagena, and Jonathan HOUGHTON of Lancaster was one of his lieutenants. These who enlisted with HOUGHTON from this town, so far as known were: Daniel ALBERT, David FARRAR, Ephraim FLETCHER, Benjamin FRY, John HASTINGS, Thaddeus HOUGHTON, Ezekial KENDALL, Peter KENDALL, Joshua PIERCE, Benjamin POLLARD, Gideon POWERS, Timothy POWERS, Oliver SPAULDING, Darius WHEELER, William WHITCOMB and Jacob WILDER. Few if any of them ever saw their homes again, giving their lives for the King in a quarrel of doubtful justice, not in the front of victorious battle, but slain by virulent disease after defeat.

On Sept. 24, 1653, Jn ffarrer and Jacob ffarrer signed the "covenant of laws and orders" and by doing this, they were accepted as citizens of the town of Lancaster. Lancaster has often been called a Watertown colony because John WINTHORP so styled it in 1643. But of the 55 who signed the covenent, 12 were from Dorchester, 6 were from Sudbury, 6 of Hingham and 5 each from Roxbury and Watertown. The others came from 8 or 10 different localities. August 1675, George BENNETT and Jacob FARRAR became mangled victims of a barbarous act of the Nashaway Indians. They were heads of their families, the others were: William FLAGG and Joseph WHEELER who were probably soldiers detailed for service. The assault ofthe savages was made at sunrise and simultaneously in 5 places. The people were nearly all in shelter of the feebly fortified garrison houses. John BALL, who had for some reason remained in his own dwelling, was butchered together with his wife and a infant and two older children were carried away captive. Though the position of BALL's house is not exactly known, it was probably on the George Hill range. At John PRESCOTT's, his grandson, Ephraim SAWYER was killed. Of the garrison of Richard WHEELER, which was in the South Lancaster, 5 were slain; Richard WHEELER, Jonas FAIRBANKS, Joshua FAIRBANKS, Henry FARRAR and another unknown. The first three were shot by Indians. The other 2 were waylaid while out of the garrison upon some errand. In 1707, Jonathan WHITE, a youth of 15 years, was killed by Indians, and August 16th a band killed a woman and captured 2 men near Marlborough, one of whom escaped. The other, Jonathan WILDER, whose father, Lt. Nathaniel WILDER, had fallen 3 years before--was murdered when his captors were overtaken by a force which hastily pursued them. In the fight that ensued, Ephraim WILDER, brother of the captive, was severely wounded, Ensign John FARRAR, a native of Lancaster but resident of Marlborough, was killed Two others of Marlborough suffeed, Richard SINGLETARY losing his life and Samuel STEVENS being badly wounded. The fight took place in the northwest corner of the "additional Grant" of Lancaster.

Jacob Farrar was born in England, probably about 1642, and went to Lancaster, Mass. where he resided with his mother and younger brothers and sisters. In about 1668 he married Hannah, daughter of George Hayward of Concord, and on Aug. 22, 1668 he was killed by the Indians in King Phillip's War. Hannah Farrar, his widow, took administration of his estate October 3, 1676 and at the same time returned an inventory dated 1675-7-27. Their children were Jacob, born April 29, 1669 and married Susanna Rediate; George, born August 16, 1670 and married Mary Howe; John, born 1672 and married Elizabeth Herrion; Henry, born 1674, was still living October 6, 1697. He is credited on the Colony Book under the date September 23, 1676, for military service under Captain Hunting. Soon after his death, certainly as early as the abandonment of the town in February following, the widow, with her children went to Concord, where her relatives lived, and where the children were brought up and settled. March 5, 1681 she married Adam Holloway of Marlboro and subsequently, January 2, 1705-8 married Jonathan Forbush. October 6, 1697, after the four sons had all come of age they united in the deed of all the real estate in Lancaster, inherited from their Grandfather Jacob, to their Uncle, John Houghington. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/1917/Jonathan01.html ============== 22 AUG 1675 in Lancaster, MA, killed in Monoco's Indian raid, Lancaster.. 1 More About Jacob Farrar: Baptism: September 04, 1641, Halifax, York, Engalnd Children of Jacob Farrar and Hannah Hayward are: 64 i.
