      James Terwilliger Dead, at Age of 85
      Was Prominent in Republican Politics 50 Years Ago – Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle
      Elizabeth, N.J. Oct. 18. — James Terwilliger, aged 85 years, who was secretary of the first Republican convention in New York, and who was clerk of the New York Senate from 1856 to 1860, and secretary of the Republican State Committee from 1860 to 1870, died tonight at the home of his son, in Roselle.
       Mr. Terwilliger was born in New Scotland, Albany, N.Y., of Dutch and Scotch ancestors. He bought a half interest in the Syracuse Journal in 1851. He was acting secretary of the Republican National Committee in 1864, the second Lincoln campaign. Later, he was private secretary to Preston King collector of the port of New York, and in 1870 and 1871 he was deputy collector. He was secretary of the Onondaga Whig party until the formation of the Republican party.
       He again became one of the owners of the Syracuse Journal in 1871, and from 1873 to 1876 he was engaged in manufacturing. He then went to New York, where he had an important position in the Police Department until 1883. In 1893 he retired from active life.

      Note: James Grover Terwilliger is the “son” mentioned above. Harriet was already in an Old Ladies Home in Poughkeepsie by this time.
