Where'er he goes, his smile illumes the shades that thickly lie
And all who hear his words resolve with him " to do or die."
The pilgrim comes from lands enslaved beyond the restless sea,
To meditate where sleeps the man who taught men to be free
The glitter of the blade he drew makes bright the world to-day,
will
crown
its hilt
And now
filled
on.

The report of the Historian was then called for, but Dr.
Herrick said that he had not prepared biographical
sketches of deceased members, because of lack of time to
do so ; but would promise to prepare them in time to be inserted in the Year Book.
The President made some remarks in reference to the
matter of union between this Society and the Society of the
Sons of the Revolution, and in order to bring the matter
before the Society Dr. Aldrich presented the following
resolutions
Resolved, That this Society ratify the plan of union and
constitution submitted for the formation of a society to be
composed of the Sons of the American Revolution and of
the Sons of the Revolution, as the said plan and constitution were adopted at the special congress held at Cincinnati on October 12, 1897, this ratification to take effect
when a majority of the state societies of the Sons of the
Revolution have ratified the same.
Resolved, That the Executive Committee to be selected
by the newly-elected Board of Management be a committee to take the necessary steps to complete the organization
of the new state society of the united organization, with
full power to act in the matter, if one is to be formed.
After a great deal of animated discussion by Dr. Aldrich,
President Richardson and Messrs. Chase and Brister, the
resolutions were adopted.
Mr. Randall, of the auditing committee, then obtained
permission to report, and reported that the committee, on
comparing the report of the Treasurer with his books and
"vouchers, found everything correct, and on motion the report was accepted.
Rev. Dr. Taylor moved that a committee be appointed
to superintend the publication of a Year Book, following
the plan of the previous Year Books. The motion was
seconded by Colonel Curry and was adopted.

his wife, being a woman of more than ordinary attainments, supported herself and child by teaching. George,
guided and assisted by his mother, obtained the elements
of his education at the district school, afterwards attending the preparatory school called Central College, in
Franklin county, and then entering Denison University, at
Granville, Ohio, from which he graduated in 1849.
He
then went to Tiffin, Ohio, where he studied law with General J. W. Wilson, and removed to Columbus in January,
1852. In 1854, he was elected prosecuting attorney, serving one term and declining re-election. He immediately
took a leading position in the Franklin county bar, was
devoted to his profession, and did not court political preferment.
But he was not thus destined to remain in private
life, for in 1859 he was elected a member of the legislature
and again in 1861, serving two terms. In 1863, he was
elected to the state senate and became the recognized
leader of the Democratic party.
In 1873, he was again
elected to the lower house and made its speaker, when his
efficiency and resources as a parliamentarian attracted the
attention of the entire country.
He was re-elected in 1875
and was the leader of his party on the floor of the house.
In 1877 he was a prominent candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, but was distanced by the superior business

town, supplemented by a preparatory course at St. Catharines, Canada, and completed at Williams College, which
he entered in 1854, graduated therefrom in 185S, and received the degree of A. M. in 1861. While in that old college, he formed the friendship of James A. Garfield, which
continued unabated until the death of the latter. Immediately after graduating from college he took up the study
of the law with his father and was admitted to the bar in
1860.
He was associated in practice with his father, and
later with Judge Horace Wilder, Judge L. S. Sherman and
with Hon. S. A. Northway. On the formation of the last

hearty approval.
He devoted considerable time to scientific research, and
from 1857 to the time of his death was a member of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, and
at the time he was stricken with the paroxysm of disease

basing his eligibility for membership upon the service of
his great-grandfather. Captain Abraham Fitch, who commanded a Company in the Second Regiment of Light

Arnold, and reached there just as the last boats of the

His was the seventh of the generations of his name and
lineage that had lived in this country. Together they span
the entire period of the material mastery of the continent
and the development of our national life.
His father fought in the war for Independence, enlisting
in 1779 (when seventeen years of age), from Conway,
Hampshire county, Massachusetts, in Captain Rice's Company of Colonel Chapin's Regiment. He also served under
Colonel Watson in the defense of Hudson River, and was

ened term of life brought with it the somewhat rare distinction of being a living son of a Revolutionary soldier, and
on that account he was made a life member of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in 1896.
When sixteen years old he left his father's home at Wilmington to meet such career as there might be for him in

grew to such
The days of
steam were yet to come, and emigration was accordingly
limited to the water courses and the lines of least resistance.
The ultimate distribution of population, too, was expected
to be along and contiguous to these natural highways of
commerce, so that a district, such as the fertile valley of the
Mohawk, a river leading from the Hudson to the lakes, was
already the seat of numerous and prospering communities,
and their attendant opportunities for personal advancement.
Here, therefore, to Albany county, New York, he first went,
where he remained at Rensselserville, for the five years next
preceding his majority, in the employment of merchants of
the place. He was active and useful in his business, popular in the community, and rapidly acquired the just confidence of all. During this time he was appointed Quartermaster of the Twenty-fifth Regiment of the New York
State Infantry, and, for three years, until he resigned to go
to Ohio, he served under his commission as such, upon the
staff of General De Witt.
Upon reaching the age of twenty-one he accepted an advantageous offer to open a general mercantile business at
some favorable point in the far West, and, largely influenced
by considerations of the kind above indicated, Bloomfield,
in the County of Trumbull and State of Ohio, was selected
for the purpose.
He immediately repaired to New York
City to buy his stock of goods, and thereafter proceeded to
Ohio to what proved his permanent home. In 1842 he married Mary, a daughter of Ephraim Brown, the early proprieShe died

I am reminded of the consolation that was offered by
his little boy to the peddler of toy balloons who was bewailing the loss of his stock in trade, which had unfortunately slipped from his grasp and went sailing away, when
he said, "Father, never mind, if you kept them they would
have busted, and now they can bust altogether."
As far as my duties are concerned it seems to me the

he said, "Oh, Lord, I do not ask Thee to give me wealth

(Applause.)
If you will run over in your mind a little of his character
and his history you will see how great a man he was. He
commenced life in Boston; in 17U6 he was born. At the
age of 12 he was apprenticed to the printing mill there he
stood for five years faithfully, when he had a little controversy with his master and he ran away and went to Philadelphia and started printing on his own hook and was very
successful.
You may some of you have heard of that
almanac that he printed called "Poor Richard," which was
one of the most wonderful productions of that age. It was
so wonderful that there were four or five editions printed
immediately, one after another, and it was translated into
several different languages, French and German.
It was a
wonderful thing. It was in every household.

When I was assigned this toast I thought of a prayer that
had been offered by old Deacon Jones, a deacon in a Bapchurch in the old famous Welsh Hills around Granville.
Since all the stories thus far told have been about
preachers or prayers, I think I may be pardoned for mentist
tioning this.
Deacon Jones offered this prayer in all sincerity, believing that he was vouchsafing to the Deity some valuable information. His language perhaps as well as anything illustrated the pomposity of sesquipedalian bourgeois, and when
called upon to open the meeting with prayer, these were
his words:
"Paradoxical as it may seem, Oh, Lord, we
prostrate ourselves before Thee full of emptiness."
When this toast was assigned to me and I thought of this
occasion, I felt very much like emulating the humility of
Deacon Jones and prostrating myself before this audience
familiar with Revolutionary history, and confessing my inability to either enlighten you or amuse you upon this subject.
But, lest some of you may be misled by the name of
this battle, I wish to advise you that this interesting event
was not in any respect an agricultural affair. Indeed it was
in no sense an agricultural affair, because the weapons used
were neither pitchforks or milking stools, but the name signifies perhaps the greatest battle of Revolutionary times
the greatest certainly in military tactics and I believe the
greatest in every respect, because I believe that without
that battle as it was fought, we would not be enjoying today the liberties which we have.
Now the year 1781 opened with nothing but gloom for
the American Army. There was scarcely a ray of promise
to encourage the troops.
Congress lacked in gratitude, if
not in loyalty and patriotism. In mid-winter the armies
found themselves without food even or pay or clothing.
Treason, which is short lived but does thrive, seemed to
thrive in that neriod as it never thrived before.

I understand his father had a little temper, so by the law

his birthplace, had something to do with it.

encouragement in every possible manner, remembering
that in the darkest hour of the Revolution, when our army
was bare-footed and in rags at Valley Forge, France entered into a treaty of alliance and commerce with the colonies, which gave an impetus to our cause and inspired our
brave soldiers to heroic efforts in the unequal struggle at
that period.
In this mercenary age there are those who
are unmindful and forgetful of the great sacrifices and
sufferings of our Revolutionary sires, and in heated political contests or in pursuit of money have used our glorious
