"Abner Treman passed his boyhood and reached the age of

assumed his share in the memorable contest. He was sixteen years

Le Grand Lockwood & Co., Wall Street brokers and bankers.
His salary was small at first, but his progress was rapid, and he was
so well liked by his employers, that his advance was rapid,, and it
was but a few years before he received a large salary. The failure
of the firm in 1869, threw him out of employment, but with the
money he had saved he was enabled the same year to start in busiof

ness for himself, having in 1869 purchased a seat in the Stock
Exchange. He was successful from the start, but default of one for

whom

he was doing business necessitated a suspension in 187 1. He
subsequently met every dollar of his obligations. In 187 1 he entered
into partnership with Roswell P. Flower (later Governor of New York)

and E. C. Benedict, under the firm name of Benedict, Flower & Co.
This firm passed through the great panic of '73 with credit unimpaired.

The firm dissolved in 1875. ^^ 1876 Mr. Truman entered into an

the young pair who will start in wedlock so well endowed.
Miss Abbie Aldrich has not been more conspicuous in church
circles than most young ladies of her station in society, while
the young man has been a leader in Baptist circles ever since he

came from college. He is treasurer of the Fifth Avenue Sunday School, and has always seemed to dread the responsibility
of the great wealth that will be his, rather than to consider it a
means to promote his own pleasure. He is fond of speaking

before religious bodies and has been known to refer to himself
as a steward from whom an accounting would one day be
demanded. Now the question is will she make a society man

and make the house of Rockefeller
famous alike for piety and for social splendor ? When the
young man was at Brown he was the manager of the football
team and displayed his business quality by making the football
team self-supporting for the first time in the college's history.
He was a very democratic young fellow at college, made no
display of his wealth, and though the football and his fraternity.

his life lay mainly between the offices of the Standard Oil

:

G. Aldrich, second daughter of the senior United States Senator
from Rhode Island, who is to become the wife of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., the man who will probably be the first
billionaire in the history of the world, is a cultured, brilliant

and serious-minded young woman.
Notwithstanding her
father's long residence in Washington, she has passed most of
her life in Providence, where she was born. Usually in the
winter she goes to Aiken, N. C. The great social functions of
the capital seemingly have no charm for her, although it has
been stated that Senator Aldrich has taken a mansion in Washington this winter and will entertain, with Mrs. Aldrich and
his two daughters. Miss Lucy T. and Miss Abby, as hostesses.
Heretofore the Aldriches have lived at the Arlington Hotel and
have done no entertaining, as Mrs. Aldrich and the girls have
not been in Washington more than six months all told during
the long service of Mr. Aldrich in the Senate.
Probably the

most interesting fact about Miss Aldrich is that, except in the
most general way, she does not care for society and its frivolities.
She is pretty and attractive and could easily shine should

These features of Miss Aldrich's character, in addition to her
great personal charm, must appeal to both her future husband

and to John D. Rockefeller, his father, whose financial support
of the Baptist Church is only equalled by the great gifts he
makes to the Chicago University, of which he is virtually the
founder. Senator Aldrich, her father, is often spoken of as

gated the merits of each case brought to her attention. She
does not believe in indiscriminate charity and will not afford
the slightest assistance until she knows the facts. She tells to
her intimates the story of an experience she had in Aiken which
strengthened her resolution in this regard. A few winters ago,
before she knew as much of the wiles of mendicants as she does
now, a negro girl approached her with a tale of woe that was
heartrending. Her mother was dead, her grandfather almost

dead from rheumatism and she herself ill and suffering from
hunger. Miss Aldrich was much moved by the tale of misfortune and called the girl into her house. She gave her a
meal and some clothes and a generous sum of money for her
immediate necessities. She promised also to find her work.
After the girl left Miss Aldrich began to wonder if she had

decided affirmatively and told the cook to put some food in a
basket. Then she ordered her pony chaise and drove to the
address given by the girl. There was no house there. She
searched the neighborhood and finally learned from a policeman that the girl was an impostor and the rheumatic grand-

she will follow this rule. Her tastes are so
of her future husband that the
benevolences which they will institute will be carried out on
the lines already indicated by the senior Rockefeller. It is
understood that Mr. Rockefeller and Miss Aldrich have been
lovers for some years and that the engagement has existed for
some time. Nearly a year ago Senator Aldrich hinted something of the kind to his intimates in the Senate. Miss Aldrich

says of

him

:

"He went from Hobart

College

into the army, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of
the loth N. Y. Cavalry. Having passed through twenty-five
battles and skirmishes, and achieved a brilliant record, he was

by a rebel sharpshooter while leading his regiment at
Hatcher's Run, Virginia, in Feb., 1865. The brief and brilliant
career of this youthful warrior, which for heroic daring in
action, coolness, consummate skill and generalship has seldom

killed

been surpassed, deserves a further record than time and space
will now allow.
Parental affection has fondly and eloquently
said
To the pen of history belongs the noble task of recording the military operations in which he had the honor to par:

during the ever memorable campaign of 1864. And yet

that were fought, the glorious and unconquerable resolution
which was displayed in conducting the movements of the Union

raids performed by the cavalry alone, through the heart of an
enemy's country, each one constituting an interesting history
of itself, the toil, the sacrifices, the fatigue, sufferings and perils
to which the heroic soldiers in those armies were continually
subjected, and to which, with unflinching fortitude and cheerfulness they submitted, when we consider, too, the innumerable
deeds of personal bravery, performed both by officers and men,
the holy patriotic purposes by which the great body of those
armies was prompted, the unselfish willingness they manifested

to sacrifice their lives for the preservation of the honor, the
integrity, and the unity of their country, and, finally, the

glorious and successful results of all these operations, we may
well doubt whether historj^ will ever contain more than an outline skeleton of

As a lawyer he was methodical, diligent and learned, and oftentimes in a case requiring great study, care and investigation, a
formidable adversary. Quiet and retired in his habits he mingled little with the world, and gave almost his entire time to
study and reflection. His illness was brief, originating in a
sudden cold, and rapidly advanced to a fatal termination. In
his death another of the links binding the present to the past
has been rudely sundered. He was a brother of Ebenezer and

Horace Mack, who, though younger in years, preceded him to
the grave, and whose memories yet linger freshly among us.
Now all are gone, and we shall see iheir familiar and accustomed faces no more among the scenes of life." The same

With the aid of Sidney Rigdon he brought forth the 'Book of Mormon' which he claimed to have discovered under angelic guidance,

and organized his church in Manchester, N. Y., April 6, 1831. In

Mo., and there his disciples gathered.

They soon removed to Hancock County, 111., where they built a city called Nauvoo, and constructed another costly temple.
Here Smith combined in his own
person the chief military, municipal and ecclesiastical offices.
"According to his own account, Smith at about the age of 15,
while living with his father, who was a farmer in Ontario (now

On the night of Sept. 21,
Co., N. Y., began to have visions.
1823, the angel Moroni appeared to him three times, informing
him that God had a work for him to do, and that a record written
Wayne)

upon gold plates, and giving an account of the ancient inhabitants of
America and the deaUngs of God with them, was deposited in a particular place in the earth (a hill in

Manchester, Ontario Co., N. Y.),

and, with the record, two transparent stones in silver bows like spectacles, which were anciently called the Urim and Thummim, on

looking through which the golden plates would become intelligible.
On Sept. 22, 1827, the angel of the Lord placed in Smith's hands the

and the Urim and Thummim. The plates were nearly 8 in.
long by 7 in. wide, and a little thinner than ordinary tin, and were
bound together by three rings running through the whole. Altogether
plates

they were about 6 in. thick, and were neatly engraved on each side
with hieroglyphics in a language called the reformed Egyptian, not
then known on the earth.
From these plates Smith, sitting behind a

blanket hung across the room to keep the sacred records from profane
eyes, read off, with the aid of the stone spectacles, the 'Book of
Mormon,' or Golden Bible as he sometimes called it, to Oliver Cow-

who wrote it down as Smith read it. It was printed in 1830, in
a volume of several hundred pages.
Appended to it was a statement
Oliver
David
signed by
Whitmer, and Martin Harris, who
Cowdery,
had become professed believers in Smith's supernatural pretensions,
dery,

and are called by the Mormons 'the three witnesses'. They said
'We declare with words of soberness that an angel of God came down

from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes that we beheld
and saw the plates and the engravings thereon.'

"Smith and Rigdon seem

at first to

have had vague and con-

fused ideas as to the nature and design of the church they were about
to establish.
They were both inclined to teach millenarianism, which

was beginning to attract attention in western New York
and they accordingly settled into the doctrine that the millennium
was close at hand, that the Indians were to be speedily converted,
and that America was to be the final gathering place of the saints,

New Jerusalem, somewhere in
With the 'Book of Mormon' as their
text and authority, they began to preach this new gospel
and Smith's
family and a few of his associates, together with some of Rigdon's
previous followers, were soon numerous enough to constitute the

a considerable fortune.

New York City in 1848. She first appeared with Lotta in
Chicago, soon afterwards became a member of Daly's Fifth
Avenue Company, and then of the Union Square Company, but
attracted no attention till the production of 'Led Astray' in 1873,
Soon afterin which she won great popularity as Mathilde.
wards she made a reputation in the character of Louise in 'The
Two Orphans,' with which she has become identified. She
played it first at the Union Square Theatre, and was acting the
part at the Brooklyn Theatre when that building was destroyed
by fire Dec. 5, 1876. She became widely known for her coolness
on that occasion, and by her efforts to calm the audience and
prevent the rush for the doors, in which so many were killed.
Soon afterwards Miss Claxton was in the Southern Hotel in St.
Louis when it burned, and again displayed great coolness and
energy, saving her own and her brother's life, and escaping by
a burning stairway, that fell just after her foot had left the last

stage

specially unlucky, avoided the theatres where she played. She

descended from Alexander Mack, who came from Germany and

to the head of Dunkards in Encyclopsedia Britannica.
His son

Alexander Mack, who died in this county in the '50's. The
son of the last Alexander Mack was David Mack, my father,
who died recently. If this family has any connection with

Fri-

day morning at his residence in Albany, after a lingering illness. Mr.
DeWitt lived a long and useful life, and died respected and beloved
by all who knew him. He was a gentleman of great purity of life,

and of scientific tastes and attainments. To promote these pursuits,
he became one of the founders of the Albany Lyceum, and afterwards
of the Institute, in which he retained a deep interest to the day of his
death.
He was also identified with various religious enterprises, and
for more than a quarter of a century was a faithful member of the
Middle Dutch Chujxh. Inheriting a large fortune from his father,
Simeon DeWitt, for many years surveyor-general of the State, he
dispensed it liberally in the promotion of works of improvement, in
railroads and steamboats, and in testing mechanical inventions that
promised to be useful to mankind. Mr. DeWitt was sixty-eight years
of age."

Richard Varick DeWitt, senior, though never a resident of
Ithaca, used often to visit here on pleasure and business being
one of the executors of the estate of his father, Simeon DeWitt.
He was well known by the citizens here and is still well remembered by a few of the older people yet living." The Ithaca
Democrat said "The death is announced of Richard Varick
DeWitt of Albany, a grandson of Simeon DeWitt and an honored and distinguished member of the New York Society of
Cincinnati. This gentleman, whose father's name was the
same as his own, had long been identified with the insurance
business of Albany, and I believe was a vice-president or prominent officer of one of the insurance companies incorporated and
doing business in that city. His death recalls a name and

General DeWitt had three sons, only one of
whom married and left issue, and the person who has just
passed away, was his only lineal grandson. The latter leaves
one or more sons, so the family in the male line does not become extinct. The father of the deceased, Richard Varick
DeWitt, senior, was born at Albany at the beginning of the
last century.
He lived there and died there February 7, 1868,
aged 68 years. He is said to have been like his father a gentleman of varied literary accomplishments and a member of the
Albany Institute, of which institution both himself, and his
father, the surveyor-general of the State, had been among the
founders. The De Witts, father and sons, and Francis A. Bloodgood, who was closely related to them, were the original promoters and main financial support of the old Ithaca and Owego

Albany newspaper said "The death of Mrs. Alice de Peyster

abroad, that her immediate family constitute but a small part
of the sorrowful arra}' who mourn her loss and will cherish her
memory. Bereaved of her mother in infancy, she became an
object of the tender care and culture of one of the meekest of
Christians and most accomplished of men, her father, the late
Richard Varick DeWitt. Under his wise and loving superand it

so much goodness and wisdom. Her suave manners and gentle
nature made her the idol of her companions during childhood
and youth, and won the love and regard of the mature and
observant, who found ground for hopes of future excellence
and usefulness in her receptive mind, active intellect and conscientious industry
which hopes, however high, were more
than justified in her womanhood. The fine moral qualities and
mental capabilities she was endowed with by nature were carefully nourished and strengthened, and they early expanded to

unselfishness accounted herself a beneficiary. Hence, no opportunity to do good or give pleasure to others was suffered to
pass unimproved, and her labors in the church and the Sabbath
school earned for her the respect of age and the love of childhood. From this field and such pursuits, and from a society
that loved her, four short years ago, she was taken, amid blessings and tears, to enter upon a new career of life on another
theatre leaving memories behind her that will now be hoarded
more closely than ever. She became the wife of one worthy to
be her husband, and in this relation she was, what she had
been in every other, a theme of praise and a model for imitation.
In her new sphere, as in the one she had left, she compassed

from

:

"The marriage took place yesterday at All Souls' Church, New
York, of Mr. Charles Marston (oldest son of Alderman John MarsJ. P., of The Oaks, Wolverhampton), and Miss Louise Isabel
Johnson, only daughter of Mr. W. G. Johnson, of Ithaca, New York.
The marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Dr. Schuyler, uncle of the

"The above announcement from the Wolverhampton News is
the sequel to a very pretty romance, and as the bride in rhe case was
born and brought up in this city, the particulars are interesting here,
especially as Mrs. Marston leaves a city full of friends for her new

home

in England.
"Five years ago last summer, she, being but a girl of fifteen, at
our High School, went with a party made up of Dr. and Mrs. North-

New York, and her mother to Europe. They landed at Glasgow, Scotland, and spent about two months doing the British Islands,

Ireland, for passengers and mails, and in the hurlyburly of departure the party noticed especially, a young man taking

had a charming stay at Wolverhampton of about ten days, and then
their entertainers took them for a week to their seaside home in

"In the meantime young Mr. Marston seeing that Miss Johnson

Leavenworth's most accomplished young
ladies, daughter of Hon. H. M. Aller, proprietor of The Press,
and Mr. Wm. F. Spencer, of the drug house of Spencer & Co.,
of this city, were on their way to attend the open air concert at
the Fort. The horse they were driving, a high lifed animal,
owned by Mr. Spencer, when about three hundred yards south
of the bridge that spans the Narrow Gauge railway track, midway between the city and Fort, from some unknown cause,
became frightened and dashed down the hill leading to the
bridge at a terrible speed. When near the bottom of the hill,
in his endeavors to control the frightened horse, Mr.
Spencer
broke the right hand line, and before he could release the strain
on the left hand line, the horse had been pulled over to the
west side of the bridge, through the wooden railing of which
he crashed, taking with him to the railway track, some twenty
feet below, the buggy and its ill-fated occupants.
This occurred
a few minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening, and no one was
present to witness the terrible plunge over the bridge. Miss
Aller was driven as rapidly as possible from the scene of the
accident to her home, where all that the combined medical

Her injuries were chiefly confined to the neck and
