His middle-name was in honor of Rev. Joseph Crandall (Fourth Baptist Church, Sackville, New Brunswick). Joseph Crandall Skinner was a dentist, and member of the Boston Dental Institute. (Source: The Dental Cosmos, S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Co.)

From the Saint John Morning News, March 11, 1861 — We are pleased to notice the name of Joseph C. Skinner, a native of this Province, on the list of members of the Graduatory Class in the medical dept. of Harvard University of March 6th.

From The Medical register for the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Charlestown and Chelsea, Press of J. Wilson, 1873, p. 52 — J. C. Skinner, M.D., Demonstrator of Anatomy.

His name is mentionned in United States Border Crossings from Canada to United States, 1895-1956 as a brother of Walter Scott Burrill. 

His preparatory education was acquired in the public school in the vicinity of his home, and was supplemented by a course in Flushing Institute. He was reared on a farm, and assisted in the work thereof during his early years, thus gaining a thorough knowledge of that necessary branch of work, and he continued along the same line in his native town until January 9, 1888, when he left the farm and removed to Centerport, Huntington Township, Suffolk, New York, locating on a farm there which he conducted for two years, and then entered the employ of James Cockroff, having charge of selling the publication entitled Encyclopedia of Forms, for the Edward Denison Law Publishing Company. Later, for one year, he was in the employ of the Northport Steamboat Company, discharging his duties in an acceptable manner. During his residence in Northport, to which town he went in 1896, he reorganized, equipped and uniformed its Fire Department of sixty men, of which he was the chief for four years, after which, in 1900, he returned to Centerport, following farming there until 1901. He gained his first experience in the Fire Department at Newtown, Long Island, which he joined in 1875 and of which he became foreman, and served for two years. He was one of the prime factors in the organization of the Centerport Fire Department, which he served as chief for a number of years. While chief of the Northport Fire Department, it took the prize at the county fair, and later, when he became chief of the Centerport Fire Department, it took the first prize over the Northport Fire Department. Probably few men in the United States have taken so active and prominent a part in fire department matters, his term of active service extending over thirty years. When Mr. Denton retired from the position of chief of the Centerport Fire Department, his company presented him with a solid gold badge in token of their appreciation of his efforts in their behalf.
 For a period of more than four years, Mr. Denton represented his district on the Republican county committee, took an active part in planning campaigns and in advancing the work of the Republicn party, the principles of which he believes to be for the best form of government. He gave up farming in 1901 to enter the Highway Department at Centerport, town of Huntington, as commissioner of highways and served three terms of two years each. he had two hundred and seventy-three miles of road to supervise, and during his term of office he built thirty miles of stone road. At the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of huntington, at which time President Roosevelt was a guest, and Mr. Denton was grand marshal of the parade. he was also grand marshal and a committee of one at the opening of the Cross Island Trolley. He took a keen interest in the Indian History of New York State, and sought and collected many relics of that once great race.
 In 1910, Mr. Denton disposed of his property at Centerport, Long Island, and removed to his present home on Park Street, West Springfield, MA. Immediately upon coming here, he began to take an active part in political affairs. It soon became known that he had lived in the shadow of Sagamore Hill, the home of ex-President Roosevelt, who at that time was beginning the formation of the Progressive party, and at the first meeting of that party in Hampden county, Mr. Denton was elected as the president of the organization, and during the entire campaign he took a very active part in all things connected with the activities of that party. During the great parade which took place in Springfield, in 1912, Mr. Denton acted as grand marshal and his first aide was the well-known Indian Scout, Jack Crawford, and among the guests of honor was Governor Johnson, of California, well-known as one of the leading Progressives of the United States.
 Mr. Denton also assisted in the organization of the Board of Commerce in West Springfield. Among his other activities, which have been of great importance to West Springfield, are his services in connection with the location of the West Springfield end of the new bridge across the Connecticut River. On December 15, 1914, a commission was appointed, consisting of Frank L. Worthy (since deceased), John C. Brickett, L.F. Ivers, and Henry H. Denton, the latter being the president. After three years of strenuous work, the object for which this commission was formed was accomplished, and when the new bridge is completed its termination in West Springfield will be the present site of the old bridge which was built more than one hundred years ago. He is a member of the Auto Club, which he joined in 1910, and in whose affairs he has since taken an active part. Upon the declaration of war by President Wilson, in 1917, the Home Defense League was formed and Mr. Denton was elected captain of the flying squadron, and he is also a member of the Committee of Public Safety, which acts in conjunction with the Police Department and carries with it the power of constable. On October 24, 1917, he was appointed one of the fuel commissioners, MA branch of the United States Fuel Commission, and served as secretary of this committee. He is also chairman of the Soldiers’ Information Committee of West Springfield, the object of this committee being to obtain information relating to the men at the front, for the benefit of their relatives. For six years he was a member of the National Guard, having enlisted in the Seventeenth Separate Company, in 1882, and each year received a bar for qualifying as a sharpshooter. Mr. Denton is a student of mineralogy, and has spent considerable time in getting together a rare collection of minerals from all over the world.

In 1807, Rev. Manning formed the First Baptist Church of Cornwallis Township at Upper Canard, Kings County. Eaton says that he was ordained over the Cornwallis New Light Church in 1795, and that his physique was powerful, his temper stern, and he carried a certain “majestic air of command”. When he decided to form a Baptist Church, the men who left the New Light Church to join him included William Chipman.
 The family of Peter Manning came to Nova Scotia in 1769 or 1770 either directly from Ireland or, according to family tradition, after a stay in Philadelphia. The 1770 census lists him as a resident of Falmouth Township, at the head of a family numbering nine. Although born Roman Catholic, all the Mannings appear to have become at least nominal Protestants by the 1770s. In 1776 Peter Manning murdered a neighbour, the stepfather of the Reverend John Payzant*. For his crime he was tried, convicted, and hanged.
 Little is known of the Manning family’s life in the Falmouth area after the tragedy. Edward grew into a tall (6 feet 4 inches) and very strong young man, a good farmer, and an excellent woodsman; at the age of 16, armed only with a hatchet, he killed three bears. According to his own later account, he led a “riotous,” wicked life, although it was probably a fairly normal one for the times.
 The Great Awakening, begun in 1776 and led by another Falmouth resident, the charismatic preacher Henry Alline*, had a tremendous impact on Manning. For the rest of his life he retained a vivid picture of Alline, with tears flowing, begging him to flee from the wrath to come. It was not until 27 April 1789, however, that Manning was finally converted, through the ministry of Payzant. Clearly the single most important event of his life, his conversion was an intense experience that came at the culmination of a period of great anguish and would shape his entire future.
 Shortly after his conversion, Manning joined Payzant’s New Light Congregational church in Cornwallis and soon felt the “call” to preach to his fellow Nova Scotians. Although possessing little formal education, Manning began to itinerate in the Allinite tradition in 1789, preaching his first sermon in February 1790 at Onslow. He became part of a dynamic group of young men who had been “awakened” in the revivals that had swept the Maritime colonies since 1776. Over the next 20 years they would do much to transform the religious life of the region. In the New England planter communities already stirred by Alline and in the newly settled and unstable loyalist areas, Manning, his brother James, Harris Harding, Joseph Dimock*, Thomas Handley Chipman, and others carried revival to new heights – and extremes.
 The move toward antinomianism was perhaps a logical development for some of these new religious leaders and their enthusiastic followers. Cornwallis, an area of early support for the Great Awakening, became the centre of the “new dispensation” movement, which insisted that the “new birth” was the means by which God spoke directly to mankind, thus placing the convert beyond church ruIes, ministerial leadership, or even scriptural injunctions. In 1791 this extreme position, championed by the Mannings, Harding, and Lydia Randall, split the Cornwallis church, and its influence spread rapidly outward from there. The following year, according to a distraught Payzant, the Manning brothers “came to the Church meeting, and began to dispute, and condemn the Church Rules, and say that all orders were done away, and that the Bible was a dead letter, and they would preach without it.” The chaos and disorder – both doctrinal and social – brought on by this movement, and the uncontrolled excesses to which some of its people went, showed Manning and other would-be leaders that they had unleashed forces they could no longer control. Over the next few years there would be a rapid retreat by Manning from this extremist position. The “new dispensation” interlude greatly influenced the rest of Manning’s life, forcing him in later years to seek stability and unity within the confines of a more structured church.
 Manning attempted to return to full-time farming in 1792 but could not stay away from preaching. By 1793 he had moved beyond Nova Scotia and preached extensively in New Brunswick, especially in the Saint John River valley, laying the foundations for future Baptist development. There he was arrested for preaching without a licence from the government, but, according to tradition, the case was dismissed because the magistrate was so impressed by Manning’s abilities. In his lifetime Manning would see major strides made toward the removal of such restrictions, making a significant contribution in this field himself.
 On 19 Oct. 1795 Manning was ordained as pastor of the Cornwallis New Light Congregational Church, an uneasy alliance of “awakened” Congregationalists and Baptists. For the next few years Manning baptized adults and infants, by sprinkling or immersion, according to the wishes of those concerned.
 The excesses of the “new dispensation” movement, the erratic and unorthodox behaviour of Harris Harding, and the continuing instability of the evangelical churches in the Maritimes led Payzant and Manning in 1797 to urge the New Light clergy of Nova Scotia to form an association, its first full meeting taking place the following year. “The necessity of order and discipline” continued to be uppermost in the minds of the clergy, if not of their congregations, forcing them to consider a more formal organization by 1799. The late 1790s also saw an important movement toward the Baptist position of believer’s baptism by immersion. Manning was convinced of the correctness of this stand and was himself baptized by immersion in 1798, although he continued to minister to his mixed congregation.
 In 1800, at a meeting at Lower Granville, the association was transformed into the Nova Scotia Baptist Association, organized on the “mixed communion” plan. Although Manning is generally credited with engineering the move, it was actually Chipman who organized it, being opposed by Manning, who felt it dealt unfairly with their New Light–Congregational brethren, especially Payzant. Over the next few years, however, most of the New Light Congregational churches in Nova Scotia were transformed into Baptist churches. In a similar manner, most of the New Light clergy not only accepted the Baptist mode of adult baptism by immersion but also shifted their doctrinal stance away from the free-will approach of Alline and back to the Calvinism of their Congregational forerunners.
 The difficulties of leading a church composed of both Baptists and Congregationalists became painfully apparent to Manning soon after 1800. In 1807 the rupture finally came and Manning, his wife, and seven followers left the Cornwallis New Light Congregational church and formed a separate Baptist church; Manning was ordained as a Baptist preacher the following year. Over the next few years the New Light Congregational church was virtually destroyed as more and more of its adherents left to join the dissidents.
 It is not clear from the church records whether Manning was forced out or left of his own accord. It was perhaps no coincidence that his departure coincided with his acquisition of “some share of worldly property” (from an unspecified source) which enabled him to purchase his own farm and to be more or less financially independent for the rest of his life. He could now follow the dictates of his conscience without having to rely on the support of a large congregation. Whatever the cause or the occasion, Manning would remain, with one brief interruption, the pastor of the First Cornwallis Baptist Church until his death in 1851.
 Manning served as pastor of a very large area – all of Cornwallis Township, Kings County. From his home in Upper Canard, he attempted to minister to an expanding population, mainly of New England origin. In spite of the claims of later Baptist historians, the church records and Manning’s own extensive diary make it clear that the relationship between congregation and pastor was often a rocky one. Manning himself created some of the difficulties through his inability to leave behind completely his itinerant beginnings. In addition, it clearly took far longer than has previously been assumed for the church to accept fully a settled minister and Baptist doctrine. Manning’s years as pastor were tension filled, acrimonious, and at times debilitating, for both pastor and congregation.
 Throughout his long ministry his congregation never managed to pay him an adequate salary, a problem common in most Maritime Baptist churches of this period. Although people frequently gave gifts to their pastor – usually in kind (turnips, a sack of grain, a load of wood), rarely in money – there was no organized attempt to provide for Manning’s support. Forced at various times to farm on an occasional basis, to teach school, and to sell books, he was thus often prevented from devoting his entire time and energy to the spiritual welfare of his people.
 More serious was the difficulty Manning had with his people over matters of doctrine. He himself, through his extensive study and fine intellect, had a clear understanding of Baptist doctrine. There is no indication that this understanding was shared by most of those who joined his church over the many years of his ministry. Whenever a popular speaker, of whatever doctrinal stripe, passed through the township, Manning’s people flocked to hear him. At one stage he complained about “this flood of false fire, and doctrine that is prevailing among the people.” Free-will preachers were especially welcomed, even by Manning’s own deacons, suggesting that Alline’s doctrinal impact was perhaps greater and longer lasting than has been generally recognized.
 In later life Manning wrote that he had spent 35 years attempting “to protect the people from the various kinds of doctrine, and the cunning craftiness of subtle, and designing men.” His frequent lack of success underscored the doctrinal confusion that persisted in the Baptist denomination long after its founding. The willingness of the Cornwallis people to follow new leaders – both Baptist and non-Baptist – and the frequency with which this took place, especially during Manning’s absences or illnesses, would seem to indicate that at heart the people were not interested in doctrine at all. They were Baptists because Manning had given them forceful, dynamic leadership, and he was a Baptist. It was a commitment based on personality, not conviction. If he were not constantly on the spot, they would follow someone else, Baptist or non-Baptist, Calvinist or not. It is no wonder that, in drawing up a list of the things that bothered him about his people, he included as the fifth and sixth items: “a neglect of reading the Scriptures and other good books, so they don’t know when the truth is preached and when not” and “an itching of ears to hear strange preachers.”
 It was this instability within his own church, coupled with the lessons taught by the unfettered enthusiasm of the “new dispensation” movement, that led Manning to seek greater stability for the entire denomination. In this effort are to be found his greatest contributions to the growth and evolution of the Baptist movement. Nowhere is the influence more evident than in the field of education.
 Although Manning possessed only minimal formal education himself, he clearly had a keen, incisive mind and was by no means an ignorant man. For his entire life his reading was both extensive and catholic. As the denomination grew and the number of ministers increased, he became more and more concerned that doctrinal diversity would tear the denomination apart. Education, he felt, was the key to unity for the denomination and to greater usefulness for the emerging clergy. He was really in the forefront of the movement that was transforming Maritime society in the first half of the 19th century. The move from the anti-intellectualism of the Great Awakening and its aftermath to the new zeal for education was not an easy or a rapid one, but the change was indeed being made. His interest in, and efforts on behalf of, education as early as 1819 led to an offer for him to move to Waterville (Maine), where he was to have helped with the development of Colby College, the Baptist college there.
 In 1828 the steady influence of Edward Manning combined with the driving enthusiasm of Halifax Baptists such as Edmund Albern Crawley* and John Pryor* to force a rather surprised Nova Scotia Baptist Association to agree to the founding of a Baptist school as the first step toward providing potential Baptist leaders with the education that Manning so keenly felt they needed. He was elected president of the newly created Nova Scotia Baptist Education Society, a position he was to occupy for the rest of his life. The founding in Wolfville of Horton Academy, a boys’ school that from the beginning was to be open to all denominations, followed immediately. On 15 July 1830 Manning proudly laid the cornerstone of the new academy building (Horton Academy remained in operation until 1959).
 In 1838, in reaction to the exclusive nature of both King’s College, Windsor, and Dalhousie College, Halifax, the education society, presided over by Manning, voted to proceed to the next step – a college. By January 1839 classes at Queen’s (after 1841 Acadia) College had begun. On 16 July 1843 Manning, with his few years of formal education, presided over the first graduation exercises, for a class numbering four. He lived long enough to witness the very real impact that Horton Academy and Acadia College were to have on the denomination as a whole. Through his influence over younger clergymen, and his role in the establishment of Horton and Acadia, he contributed more than anyone else to the creation of a Maritime Baptist orthodoxy.
 Manning was also keenly interested in strengthening the denomination by seeking the removal of some of the legal disabilities under which dissenters laboured in the Maritime colonies. The right to perform marriages by licence and the right to incorporate were two important “rights” sought by Manning and others. Beginning in 1819 he worked in concert with other Baptists, and with the Presbyterians led by Thomas McCulloch*, in an effort to secure equality with the Church of England, an aim finally achieved within his own lifetime.
 Another contribution to the denomination made by Manning, with perhaps mixed results, was the successful wooing of a number of dissidents in Halifax’s St Paul’s Church (Anglican) in the mid 1820s. It was Manning, through his niece’s husband, John Ferguson, who more than anyone else drew that significant group into the Baptist fold. James William Johnston*, Edmund Crawley, John Pryor, and others would add a new and at times discordant dimension to the denomination, with far-reaching implications, politically, socially, theologically, and educationally.
 With Charles Tupper*, Manning was one of the first of the Baptist ministers to sense the significance of the temperance movement as it swept into the Maritime region from Maine in 1829. Immediately convinced of the correctness of the abstinence position, he led in forming a temperance society in Cornwallis and helped articulate the stand that became a virtual article of faith for many Baptist churches for nearly a century and a half.
 He was also the first Baptist leader to take a conspicuous interest in the history of the denomination. As early as 1812 he wrote a short account of the Baptists in the Maritimes in response to questions sent him by the Reverend David Benedict of Rhode Island, who wished to publish a history of the Baptists in North America. It was probably his awareness of history that caused him to retain so carefully his voluminous correspondence and to keep so meticulous a diary, which together form the basis for any present-day understanding of the denomination in that period.
 Manning also gave leadership in the move towards active participation in foreign missions. In 1814 he expressed his concerns for the “heathen in foreign lands” in a circular letter to the churches of the Baptist association, the first important plea for Baptist involvement in foreign missions. In this he was greatly influenced by his reading of American and British Baptist periodicals. He returned to this theme time after time, clearly wishing that he himself could go. His efforts led to the sending of the first Baptist missionary, Richard E. Burpee, to Burma in 1845, the beginning of more than 140 years of involvement in foreign missions.
 In the same important circular letter, Manning also expressed great concern for home missions. It would be at least partly through his influence and efforts that the denomination spread so rapidly in the Maritime region in the first half of the 19th century. As well as encouraging others, he himself travelled throughout the Maritime region and into Maine, founding new churches and reviving old ones. In addition to actual visits, he extended his authority throughout the Maritimes by a vigorous correspondence. When individuals or churches experienced difficulties, it was to Manning that they turned. It was he as well who kept the association in touch with Baptist development in the United States. In all of these matters, he sought to chart a moderate course for the denomination, avoiding what he saw as the twin dangers of excessive enthusiasm on the one hand and “dead formalism” on the other. Such stability as the denomination possessed by the mid 19th century was due in no small measure to Edward Manning.
 It is ironic that he had more success in leading the denomination than he had with his own church or family. The Cornwallis church gave him endless trouble and his family was little better. Manning’s wife, obviously disliking his frequent absences, became “ill” about 1815, suffering almost constantly from “palpitations of the heart” and “the glooms,” as Manning called her afflictions. Mrs Manning was, however, still well enough 36 years later to walk in her husband’s funeral procession. The constant fear of his wife’s imminent death, the lingering deaths of two of his three daughters, and the frequent illnesses that he had to contend with as pastor caused him to become morbidly concerned with his own health. His diary is filled with references to his physical condition and his expected death. At times his own poor health (real or imagined) and that of his wife seriously hampered his effectiveness as pastor and denominational leader.
 Manning’s death in early 1851 marked the end of the formative years of Baptist development. The men of his generation had seen the movement in the Maritimes emerge out of the confusion and uncertainty following the Great Awakening and the American revolution to the position of a large and stable denomination. No one contributed more to that development than did Manning. The Baptist /Christian/ /Messenger/ paid tribute to this remarkable leader in the letters, articles, and editorials on news of his death. The final acknowledgement of his stature came when this paper, pointing out that “the history of his life is the history of the rise and progress of the Baptist interest in these Provinces,” reported that no one was willing to take on the awesome task of writing the usual “memoir” of his life.

The deeds strip their maker of everything, and provide $60 a month for his wife and daughter. The trustees refuse the trust.
 Terwilliger wrote to his son, saying the family would never see him again. The bank’s assets are about $80,000. This statement accompanies the trust deeds:
 “Henry Terwilliger, of humble birth and lowly spirit, unhappily finds himself bearing respondibilites which wear him and rob him of time which he feels he ought to have the liberty to spend in more congenial employment. Nobody will be able to understand his difficulties or appreciate the conditions which drive him to adopt a course of action which may be considered cowardly, if not dishonorable. Neither can any one know what pain it gives him or how keenly he realizes what sacrifice he is making or how deeply he regrets the trouble he is making his friends and patrons, but he has shaped matters so as to fully protect every interest, and is absolutely confident that nothing worse than temporary inconvenience can result to any customer of the bank, as he leaves $15,000 in excess of all liabilities.
 “The cashier dos not carry away a dollar of anybody’s money.Therefore let no man say ‘Twig’ is a defaulter, a bank wrecker, or a thief. He has the utmost abhorrence of such a reputation, a fate which impends over every private banker doing business alone, however honest or smart he may be. No one man ought to have the care of the money of a community. Such a care will stagger any man sooner or later, kill him or wreck him, work him do death, or enslave him if he succeeds an blast his life if he fails. Banks ought to be incorporated.
 “The business men of Montague, through ignorance, cowardice, folly and jealousy, turned down a project to incorporate the Montague bank. Let them now awake to the importance of action in this direction. Terwilliger hopes that by assigning and placing himself out of touch that arrangements can and will be made to continue the business with but little interruption. As there is no reason for any anxiety whatsoever about the funds, let all depositors view the matter sensibly and philosophically, and allow the worried banker to go in peace, and take a vacation, the first in twenty years.
 “The gossips will go into hysterics, of course, and there will be plenty of abuse an ridicule, for the milk of human kindness is not equal to all, but there are those whom memory and conscience will compel to speak charitably of the absent banker, and there are others who will loyally efend him out of pure friendship and sympathy.
 “He goes bearing malice toward none, sincerely regretting his weaknesses and errors and repenting his offenses, and remembering gratefully the kindness extended to him and his family during twenty years of life in Montague.
 “H. H. TERWILLIGER.

CASE IS ONE OF ELOPEMENT
So People at Chicago Believe Relative to H. H. Terwilliger
 Chicago, Dec. 3. — That Henry H. Terwilliger, the missing Montague Mich., banker, came to Chicago and met Miss Minnie Schneider either in the city or in some town near its limits is the opinion expressed by the young woman’s uncle, R. D. Tobeck., of 53 Palmer avenue. Miss Schneider, who is a resident of Oceana, Mich., and has known Terwilliger for several years, was a guest at Tobeck’s home from a week ago Saturday until Monday of last week.
 She went away without giving any definite destination, and it is the belief of both Tobeck and his wife that after leaving their house she met Terwilliger. According to the story of Tobeck, Miss Schneider appeared at his house unexpectedly about 8 o’clock on Saturday morning a week ago. She announced that she intended remaining in the city a few days, and then had planned to visit friends in Hammond, Ind., and Grand Rapids, Mich.
 

In the spring of 1942, at the age of twenty, Philip R. Spurr gave up his job in Digby, Nova Scotia to gain a wider experience of life. He joined the Royal Canadian Army and, after basic training, set off for front-line action on the battlefields of Europe. His wish for excitement and adventure was about to be granted. This is the story of the first forty-seven years of Philip’s life, until he emigrated to England and became a permanent resident of Weston-super-Mare in 1969.

Tributes to author who never saw his book published (May 2011)
Philip Spurr began writing his life story a little over a year ago and completed it earlier this year.
 The book covers his life in Canada, where he was born in the village of Tarbrook Mines in Nova Scotia, up until he moved to Hazeldene Road in Weston in 1969.
 It traces his life in the Royal Canadian Army, where he was posted to the Netherlands during the Second World War, his time at university and subsequent jobs in the sales industry, and when he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force where he met his future wife Pam.
 But Philip, whose autobiography is published tomorrow (Fri), died on May 8 in Weston General Hospital, aged 89, after suffering from pneumonia.
 His son Michael and daughter-in-law Heather this week paid tribute to Philip. Heather, aged 48, told the Mercury: “He was quite a character, and eccentric but in a very good way. “He was very pleased he had the book published as it was a great achievement and he was looking forward to the publication date – it is a shame he couldn’t be here to see it.”
 Michael, aged 49, added: “He was a good dad to me even though I didn’t appreciate it at the time. “For me it is really great for people to read about the life story of an ordinary person from Canada who went through the war, came out of it and built himself a new life.”
 Philip and English-born Pam moved to Weston after Pam was diagnosed with liver cancer and they decided to opt for treatment on the NHS. She died in 1972 but Philip stayed in the town as he considered it to be his new home.
 Michael said: “He was very happy in Weston and loved it here. “He used to go to the library everyday and was very interested in both American and English politics, and he loved going for walks around the town.”
 Philip’s funeral was held last Friday at Weston crematorium. He also leaves behind grandchildren Isobel, aged 20, and Jonathan, aged 17.

J. Russell Spalding was a Boston Chemist/Apothecary from around 1851 until 1862. His primary business address was on Tremont Row, initially at #23. The Boston Directory in 1862 listed E. M. Skinner as the successor to J. Russell Spalding at the same address. Spalding sold several other proprietary medicines, in addition to his hair preparations. In 1852 and 1853, along with his other products, Spalding was selling “Twigg’s Hair Dye.”
 The Rosemary was advertised starting around 1852. The product at that time, made all the usual claims for hair preparations, plus it claimed to “cure headache,” and “kill hair eaters.” In 1865, E. M. Skinner was still selling the Rosemary, and he said that it had been selling for 14 years.
 Products: Rosemary & Castor Oil | Twigg’s Hair Dye.

Jackson v. Lord Viscount Milsington, for Crim. Con. Judgment in this cause was suffered to go by default, and a jury was on Saturday impannelled before the Sheriff, to assess the damages. Mr. Jackson is an eminent Solicitor, and nephew of the late Sir Wm. Middleton; his lady, one of the daughters of Col. Bishopp, of Sussex, and niece to Sir Geo. Warren. The noble defendant, by whom this lady was seduced, is eldest son to the wealthy Earl of Portmore. After the first intimacy, the intrigue was carried on under the pretence that his Lordship paid his addresses to Miss Bishopp, one of the sisters of Mrs. Jackson. On the discovery of the criminal intercourse, Mrs. Jackson eloped, and has since lived with Lord Milsington. The Jury returned a verdict of 2000£. damages, and costs of suit. It is very extraordinary in the late discovery of adultery with Mrs. M. and adds much to the perplexity of the case that the injured husband, and his venerable father, are, officially, the identical persons to whom, in cases of this nature, it is necessary to apply for redress.

James joined his father in the manufacture of soap at Lawrence, Massachusetts, but at age 21 headed west to Chicago, and Aurora, Illinois, before finally settling in Dubuque, Iowa in 1856 were he purchased a half interest in a small soap factory. He later bought out his partners and expanded the business, with plants in St. Paul and St. Anthony, Minnesota.

Soapmaking had an interesting Dubuque run before being washed up

Beach family: Family does a good job of cleaning up
No one really knows when man first learned to make soap, but before people knew about it, they cleaned themselves with olive oil, plant ashes, bran and sand.In Colonial America, much of the soapmaking was done in the home. Housewives saved their fats and greases from cooking, put them in a large pot and boiled them with a lye made from wood ashes. The result was a useful, but strong, yellow soap. Dubuque’s first soap and candle factory was constructed in 1850 in a small wooden building located at South Locust and Dodge streets, called the F.M. Pleins & Company. In 1856, James Beach, of Dover, N.H., the son of a soap manufacturer, joined the firm by purchasing the interest of James P. Farley. Beach was just 21 years old.
 The candle product was dropped and the company’s name was changed to Pleins & Beach Soap Factory. Pleins sold out to Beach a year later. Twelve years after that, Beach’s eldest son, Edward, joined the company and the name became James Beach & Son.
 Young Beach had graduated from a chemical course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor of arts degree and had a good knowledge of the soapmaking business. To supply the ever-increasing demand for washing and toilet soaps, the company in 1891 built a large three-story brick building on the site and doubled its capacity. Business was very good, and 40 men were employed.Beach’s second son, Jim, came into the firm and the company’s name changed to James Beach & Sons.

 The demand for soap oils increased the use of many new agricultural products. Soap makers used coconut oil, sesame oil and soybean oil.In 1906, machinery was installed for the manufacture of a new product, soap powder. This was the first soap powder mill in the state. The company advertised heavily and presented samples of the new product to Dubuque housewives in order to familiarize them with it.
 Eight million pounds of soap was turned out annually. Six huge kettles were used for cooking the soap, where it was steamed and boiled for six days.Various oils from Ceylon and corn oil were used to scent the finer toilet soaps.By 1910, the factory manufactured several different laundry and toilet soaps. The most popular laundry brand was named “Peosta” and its glycerin hand soap was another favorite. Other kinds made included White Castile and Key City soap powder.
 Although the soap from the Dubuque factory was sold across the country, its principal market was the Midwest.
 In February 1918, James Beach Sr. was accidentally thrown from a horse-drawn sleigh and died. He had been active in civic affairs.
 The soap industry changed. The development of continuous processes for making soap was only one of many steps taken to produce more at less cost.
 Now, synthetic detergents account for about 90 percent of packaged washing products manufactured in the country. New detergents are used to make liquid cleansers and toilet bars for home and industry.
