Minute Man, progressive farmer and public spirited citizen. Of patriotic, Colonial ancestry. Father and an uncle members of the famous 44th New York, the 'Ellsworth Regiment,' that held Little Round Top with iron grip in the bloody Gettysburg fight. Paternal grandfather and another uncle in the 78th N. Y. Regiment. Maternal great-grandfather, a Green Mountain Boy and hardy pioneer of Machias, around whose humble cabin north of this village the wolves howled and about whose hospitable hearthstone the dusky Sons of the Forest stretched themselves to slumber over a century ago."
