JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 343
960 Mary' Kingsbury {Lemuel*, Joseph*, Nathaniel 9 ,
Joseph -1 , Henry 1 ), married April 4 1806 (according to B. F.
Ellis; April 2, 1806, according to Enfield Church Records), Jede-
diah Hills, of Enfield, Conn.; removed in 1 814 to Painesville,
Ohio, passing through Buffalo just after it had been burned
by the British troops ; he was Justice of the Peace and Post-
master in the early days of Painesville ; he was a druggist
by occupation. She died in Painesville June 24, 1866. He
was born in Enfield, January 21, 1777 ; died in Painesville,
Ohio, January 12, 1859.
CHILDREN.
1 Addison, born in Enfield, April 6, 1807; married in Painesville, O.,
(1) August 3, 1828, Emily Tracy ; she died in Cleveland,
March 6, 1835; (2) June 6, 1836, Prudence Tracy, who died
February, 1892. He began life as a clerk in his father's drug
store, but soon entered into railroad work, and at the time of
his death he was probably the oldest railroad man in active
service in the United States. He was general freight agent
on the Erie road from 1853 to 1855, removing in the latter
year to Cleveland, where for forty-three years he served the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad through its
varied changes, promoting its growth from many small lines
into one perfected system. From 1S55 to 1881 he was its Gen-
eral Freight Agent, and few men know that he was the orig-
inator of many improvements in freight service, especially of
the through system of fast freight lines in the sixties. From
18S1 to 1886 he was assistant general manager, and then he
was appointed assistant to the President, performing the
duties of his office with fidelity and efficiency to the end. His
ability was known and recognized, not only by the officials of
that road, but throughout the country, and he was regarded
as an undisputed authority in traffic matters. Even at his
great age he was frequently consulted by the younger officers
of the railroad, so clear was his mind, so excellent the preser-
vation of his faculties. He was the first Recorder of Paines-
ville, when the town was incorporated in 1832. He was one
of the incorporators of the Parish of St. James in Painesville,
Protestant Episcopal, February 26, 1835, and he was elected
vestryman April 4, 1836. He presented the church with a
fine organ, and in later years assisted largely in removing a
heavy debt on the new church building. " He was a man of
the purest integrity, of rare ability, of spotless reputation,
far-reaching in his judgment. God-fearing, honored, loved,
and mourned by the wide circle of friends his beautiful life
had influenced, with its great responsibilities faithfully per-

formed. He was a remarkable man in many ways ; with a
brave, patient spirit, ever caring for others, retaining his life-
long vigor, his springing step, his mental faculties to the end ;
and until his last five days of suffering, he was regularly at
his office, attending to business promptly as for years. His
tall, stately figure, his gentle courtesy of the old school, his
face of quiet benignity, will be no more seen, for he walks in
the gardens of Paradise." [Churchman.] He died in Cleve-
land, May 7, 189S. Children : 1, Lucien, born July 13, 1S30 ;
married September 15, 1857, Mary Andrews ; he was for many
