Excerpt from Biographical History of Massachusetts, Vol. 2: Biographies and Autobiographies of the Leading Men in the State And these are finding expression in the lives of her leading though not especially conspicuous men men who all Over her area, in busy cities and in rural villages, promote industrial enterprises, develop resources, improve transportation and the comforts Of living, put out the products Of improved agriculture and manufacture, culti vate the refinements of the homes alike of ease and labor, teach, write, cure, comfort, minister, and serve in every walk or profession. The ideals of Massachusetts are illustrated too in the striking fact that these sketches are not of any one class or station or calling. They are of men born with silver spoons in their mouths and of men who went barefoot in their boyhood - men who have had all the advantages of college training yet not been spoiled by it, and men who, though they hardly ever saw the inside of a schoolhouse, have yet made equal mark. It only needs that there should be added to the list due representation of the Massachusetts women who have so abundantly leavened the lump and who in every avenue and phase of life have inspired and refined the atmosphere, helped in the common work, and especially held high the ideals.
