most distressing malady, asthma, assailed him, and for many
years tormented him fearfully ; then quietly disappeared,
almost entirely. During these critical periods, his physidfen,
the late Doctor Oliver Wendell Holmes, then a practising
physician in Boston, advised more out-of-door exercise. The
change from the active duties of a New England farmer boy
to the close confinement and mental work of a counting-
room, together with change of diet consequent, was too
much for a constitution, not naturally robust. The physi-
cian's recommendation was adopted, and as sporting was his
choice, whenever a few hours could be snatched from busi-
ness, they were appropriated in that way. The beaches and
marshes of East Boston, at that period, offered a fair field

for marsh-bird shooting, and thither he occasionally repaired,
with gratifying results in health, if not in hunting. This,
however, could not be indulged in to any great extent while
he was employed as a clerk, but when he went into business
for himself, it was different, and he could gratify his taste
and spend more time afield than before. That order of
Doctor Holmes was undoubtedly the initiative to his future
sporting career.
Partridge, woodcock and snipe were much more abundant
fifty years ago than at present, and their pursuit afforded
him ample exercise and amusement. After his brother
Jonathan came in possession of the homestead farm, that
was the most favorite resort. Jonathan was also fond of
gunning, and was a most cheerful companion, an excellent
shot, and an indomitable worker. The dogs and guns received
the best of treatment under his supervision, and he and his
team were ever in readiness for a tramp. For more than a
quarter-century were the coverts of not only their native
town, but other towns contiguous, beaten over with satisfac-
tory results. Jonathan was, furthermore, an expert fisher-
mam, especially for pickerel, and the two brothers did not
neglect the trout streams in that vicinity. After the death
of his brother, Warren found other resorts, but for several
years has devoted some time to shore-bird shooting. "The
grasshopper is a burden " at eighty, and the limbs, as well
as the mental faculties, at that age, are less elastic and
nimble than at forty, and long tramps afield become tedious
and irksome. His love of nature, and keen observation of
the ways and habits of birds and animals, led him to the
study of ornithology, and to the collecting of specimens ; his
collection now embraces nearly all of the Limicolae (shore

birds), as well as the game birds of New England, with many
others. He often remarked that he did not regret any day
or dollar spent in sporting, and he firmly believed that if
business men would, before it was too late, take an occasional
day off, in some kind of congenial out-of-door exercise and
amusement, there would not be as many total wrecks of
body and mind, as at present reported. It is the "ounce of
preventive" that is better than the "pound of cure." Nor
did he confine himself alone to the woods and waters of his
native State. He fished and hunted the Adirondack and
Rangeley regions ; caught trout in the Merced, Yellowstone
\
and Washington Territory (now State) streams ; spent a part
of six or eight winters in North Carolina, quail (partridge)
shooting; organized the Monomoy Branting Club in 1862,
and was its president and manager for thirty-four years ; has
been a member of the Massachusetts Fish and Game Protec-
tive Association twenty years ; also a member of the Boston
Art Club, and the Museum of Fine Arts, the Bostonian
Society, the New England Historic-Genealogical Society;
belongs to Doctor Edward Everett Hale's church, and the
Hale Club ; has served on the Boston School Board ; always
a Whig or Republican ; subscribes liberally to periodical and
other literature ; donated a handsome sum to complete the
Public Library of his native town, and made an address at its
dedication ; presented her citizens a clock to be placed upon
the Unitarian church; published, in 1894, a History of Har-
vard for free distribution, no copy ever being sold ; and wrote
numerous articles for the press, mostly on sporting matters.
Unfortunately for him, he had no children to* share with and
enjoy the results of his life-work, but he contributed in
various ways to aid in such worthy objects as came to his
126 HAPGOOD FAMILY.
notice. He took his brother's son, Theodore Goldsmith
Hapgood, when he was about nine years old, and kept him
in school about as much longer, and would have cheerfully
fitted and sent him to college, but the young man preferred
mercantile business, and the purpose was abandoned. He
also aided several of his brother's other children in the way
of education.
It was through his instrumentality that Hell Pond, in
i
Harvard, was stocked with black bass. The fish were taken
from Half- Way Pond, in Plymouth, by Thomas Pierce and
transported to Boston by rail, carted across the city to Fitch-
burg railroad, and thence to Ayer, where they were met by
Jonathan F. Hapgood with an ox team, in a pouring rain, and
the tanks conveyed to the pond, where the seventeen large
bass were liberated, the effort proving in every way successful.
He was also most conspicuous in introducing European quail
(Coturnix Communis) into this country. Of the thousands
that were afterwards imported, from some cause unknown,
none are believed to have survived.
"The active duties of business absorbing much of his time,
he has found less leisure than formerly for literary pursuits ;
yet these have not been wholly neglected, nor the happy
effects of previous culture obscured. In social intercourse
he is frank without being abrupt, genial and' sympathetic ;
and many bear witness to his kindness and generosity.
"As a merchant he is high minded, honorable and ener-
getic. Abhorring those little tricks that tradesmen some-
times resort to, and believing that mere pecuniary gain at
the cost of honor is not success, he has won for himself a
reputation worthy of emulation.
"Mr. Hapgood married, January 14, 1852, Julia Adelaide
Gamage, a lady of congenial tastes, who had enjoyed the
advantages of public and private schools in Boston, receiving

medals from each as the award of scholarship. From her
youth to the present time she has been engaged as pupil,
teacher, and patron of Sunday schools, and takes an active
part in the support and management of various other charit-
able institutions. She was born July 28, 1821, in Boston,
the daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Cowdin) Gamage, and
the granddaughter of William Gamage, M. D., of Cambridge,
by his second wife, Lucy Watson, and great granddaughter
of William and Abigail Gamage of Cambridge, and great
great granddaughter of Joshua and Deborah (Wyeth) Gamage
of Cambridge, the common ancestor of all of the name in
this country. He was not improbably a merchant from
London, where only was the name reported two hundred and
fifty years ago, and then in connection with knighthood.
On the maternal side, Mrs. Hapgood was the granddaughter
of Daniel Cowdin, by his wife, Zabiah Davis, who was the
daughter of the honored and revered General Amasa Davis
of Boston, born August 17, 1744; died January 30, 1825,
who married Sarah Whitney, daughter of William and Mary

of John and Elinor Whitney of Watertown.

received a fair district school education, such as was
.accorded to the New England boy of that period ; removed,
May, 1832, to North Anson ; learned the harness maker's
trade, but subsequently went into hotel business with his
brother-in-law, William Brown, keeping the Somerset House
at North Anson. They also became interested in a line of
stage coaches from Waterville to North Anson, via Nor-
ridgewock, where they opened a hotel. After this, he fol-
lowed farming at Anson for about two years. The next
enterprise was a tannery, the product of which was converted
into harnesses and boots. The sale of boots in that section
was limited and he was obliged to ship his goods west for a
market. In 1879, becoming weary of business and feeling
old age slowly creeping upon him, he concluded to retire
and enjoy the closing years of his life at North Anson, in the
midst of his family and friends, where he was much beloved
and esteemed. He married, May 4, 1839, Abigail, daughter
