JEAN BAPTISTE D’AMERIQUE. ) The stated meeting of Lafayette council, No. 309, was held Thursday evening in Foresters' hall, P._Lessard presiding in the absence of the presi- dent, Dr. G. A. Comeau. Routine busi- ness was transacted with a discussion on one or two other matters of inter- est and a pleasant informal social time closed the evening. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS. With ‘all the councils of the state, White Cross council, No. 13, has_re- ceivéd a communication from New aven council to the effect that on ct. 13, Columbus day, a legal holiday, fitting ceremonies will be held in New Haven\by the councils of the Knights of Columbus throughout Connecticut and the adjoining states to commem- orate the day.

Odd Fellows from :\fl over the state will be in New Haven this afternoon to attend the funeral of Frederick Botsford, who for thirty-seven years was grand- secretary of the state, spending the greater part of his vigor- ous manhood to the upbuilding of the order. Upon his resignation on May 16, 1906, his distinguished and invaluable service to the organization was fitting- ly recognized by the order by its mak- ing him grand secretary emeritus for the Test of his life. An idea of the great work of upbuilding which he ae- complished is conveyed by the figures of membership which show that when he took office the order had 2,292 mem- bers in the state and when he resigned 18,606. Outside of the Odd Fellows, Mr. Botsford was a member of the Masons, Wooster lodge, and a prominent mem- ber of St. Thomas' church.

Perhaps no other place in the coun- try has direct lineal connections with six presidents, as has Norwich. These are e Millard _ Fillmore, Ulysse: . Ruthrford B. Hays, James field, Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt, and only in the last case is the connection other than through the blood flowing in the ns of the president himself. In’| President Roosevelt's case-the connec- tion ade .through Mrs. Roosevelt, who is a direct lineal descendant, and not far removed from a Norwich hero of two wars, In the late 1770's a Captain John Fillmore, who had been living in Ips- wich, Mass, removed his household goods and chattels by the overland route used in those days, to Norwich, and settled in the Rose of New Eng- land, as it has since come to be called. History relates that after a time- the family which he founded drifted over into New York state and therefore the thirteenth president of the United States did not have the fortune to be born in Norwich, as was his father, Nathaniel, 2d, grandson of Captain John. President Grant'’s family tree finds its .main root on his mother's side in Huntington family whose. name been connected with the history of the town since Christopher Hunt- ington was the first male child born Norwich and whose sons and daugh- ters have gone into a multitude of activities in this and other lands. A later Christopher's daughter married oah Grant\of Tolland and she was Ulysses Grant's grandmother several times removed. No less direct is the ancestry of President Hayes, as it comes down from that John Birchard whence his middle name is deriyed and who was one of the original thir- ty-five proprietors of Norwich. George Hayes seftled in Windsor, in—1682, and great-grandson, Rutherford, mar- ried Sophia Birchard. The blood of both the Mason and Fitch families was in that of Presi- dent Garfield. Aaron Cleveland, the man who first put into print in Connecticut anti- slavery sentinments, was the ancestor of the Deacon William Cleveland, the Norwich silversmith, whose spoons are treasured by those' who collect such antiques, and _this Deacon Cleveland was Grover Cleveland's grandfather. His son got the fever which possessed so many people from htis section to g0 over into the rich lands in central New York, and that Is the reason hy Grover Cleveland wasn't born in Norwich. ~In speaking at an old home week in Norwich in 1901, the ex-president said that his earliest re- membrances were of hearing tales of Norwich and Deacon William, and of how he drew ‘down upon himself the condemnation of an old gentleman who had known the latter, when he spoke disparggingly of his ancestor to draw the oth® out. Mrs. Roosevelt's connection with Norwich s direct ¢nough to give the city the right to claim her husband. Gen. Daniel Tyler, who commanded the first regiment raised in Connecticut in_1861, and had previously made his record In the regular army, was her grandfather. From the first days of the settle- ment, the project to establish which originated with Major ohn Mason, Norwich has had sons and daughters in whom to take pride. Mason was a captain when in 1659 he and the Rev. James Fitch led the band of 36 first settlers through the wilderness to the findl encampment on the Chelsea plain where historical tableaux on the fifth of July portrayed the purchase for 70 pounds the nine square miles of ter- vitors from Uncas, Owaneco and Atta- wanhood, Mohegan chiefs. Among those first proprietors are found the names of Backus, Calkins, Griswold, Hyde, Leffingwell,” Huntington, Rey- nolds, Royce, Tracy, Gager, Allyn, Baldwin, Bradford and otbers whose Jun2sd WHEN you want to put your busi- mess before the public, there is no me- he advertis- | dium better than WHEN yon want to put your busi- ness before the putlic, there 1s no me- rough the advertis- ing columns o The Bulletin 3 posterity Was destined to become fa- mous. ~ The labors of the Rev. Mr. Fitch“to Christianize the Indians and those of Capt. John Mason to subdue the unruly Pequots and Narragansettd gre well known . Of those Indian war: Norwich was much of the time the center, and it is supposed to have been here that Uncas, always the friendly Indian chief, despatched Miantonomo, the Narragansett, who was given to him by the colonial council at Bos- ton, to be put away. There is some doubt about this and a contemporaneous story that the Boston cbuncil turned the fraction chief over to the Hartford ministers, who gave the order for his death, which occurred not far from there. At all events, Uncas lies buried in Norwich under a monument dedicated by President Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, then vice presi- dent, with his squaws and braves about whim in the Indian cemetery, while ‘at Sachem’s plain there is a monument to his hated rival, Mianto- | nomo. There js also shown a pro- | digious leap across the gorge at the: Norwich falls, where Miantomono is | said to have eluded Uncas, so that he was not caught until he reached | Sachem’s plain, where Uncas cut his | heart out and declared the piece he | ate to be the sweetest morsel he ever | tasted. H Irom that early stock in direct de- | scént have come Roger Griswold, once | governor of Connecticut, Governor Roger Baldwin and Chief- Justice Baldwin of the present Connecticut su- preme court, Major General John Pope (from the Backus family), and all the Hurtingtons. Samuel Huntington was the president of the Continental con- | gress, and he and William Williams were two ofConnecticut’s four signers of the Declaration of Independence. Norwich was the center of activity of John Bull's brother Jonathan, Con- necticut’s Revolutionary Governor Trumbull, Washington's close friend and adviser, whose home was in the adjoining town of Lebanon, says the Hartford Times. Josiah Trumbull, his son, and the first commissary general of the American army, lived in Nor- wich and his brother, the artist, whose paintings of the men of those days are authoritative, spent much time here. Lafayette, Steuben, Pulaski; these were familiar names and theirs famil- far faces in Revolutionary days. No continental soldiers were more quickly at Boston when the war began than those from Norwich, and the names Generals Jedediah and Ebenezer Hunt- ington made for themselves at Bunker Hill and afterwards, match those of the many lesser officers and hundreds of privates for personal valor. That Colonel John Durkee, who led the 40 settlers sent by the Susquehan- na company ,organized at Windham, to people the Wyoming valley in Pennsyl- vania in 1769 was one of Norwich's most noted sons in those stirring times. Of coure, too, mention must be made of Benedict Arnold, the Norwich boy, whose peculiar disposition made him so much trouble, the cellar of whose home is still standin Marines Coming Fall. The company of marines which was to have been stationed at the navy yard about July 15 will not come until the fall. The order of President Taft re- placing marines aboard ship in revoca- tion of President Roosevelt's order, which assigned the marine corps to shore duty, is the cause of the belated arrival of the company.
