Samuel Hoar
January 6, 2008 by Stefanie
Emerson's essay on Samuel Hoar (1778 - 1856) is actually an obituary. It first appeared in Putnam Magazine in December 1856 and again in a revised and extended version in the Monthly Religious Magazine in January, 1857. Emerson does not go into the details of Hoar's career, a distinguished lawyer and politician, (Wikipedia has a decent article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_hoar about him), but sticks more to his personal knowledge of the man in the everyday.
Emerson describes him as humane, noble, honorable, and "full of mansuetude " (is not that a great word?). Hoar was a man who enjoyed long, solitary walks, trees, and birds. He was a wealthy man but lived a plain life, preferring instead to give his wealth to those in need? young men starting out in life on new ventures and to charitable organizations. A man of "natural goodness and justice," he was humble and modest with a "childlike innocence" and he never held a grudge.
He "was not adorned with any graces of rhetoric," and
So cautious was he, and tender of the truth, that he sometimes wearied his audience with the pains he took to qualify and verify his statements, adding clause on clause to do justice to all his conviction. He had little or no power of generalization.
Nonetheless, he never undertook to defend criminals and had such a reputation that juries were often swayed in his favor simply by him declaring "on his conscience" that his client was entitled to a good verdict.
Hoar had no love of poetry, yet Emerson says he "had a resemblance to the bust of Dante." I wouldn't exactly call Dante an attractive man, but I guess it's better than saying someone looked like Socrates who was supposed to be a rather ugly man.
Hoar was a gentleman in every finest sense of the word. And while he may not have been elegant or particularly spiritual or a man of genius, he focused the "vigor of his understanding?on the ordinary domestic and municipal well-being," which, if you are a public servant, seems to me what one should do but yet, is so often only given lip service.
There is a lot that Emerson doesn't say about Hoar. Like that Hoar's wife, Sarah Sherman, was the youngest child of Roger Sherman, a signer of the US Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Nor does Emerson mention that Hoar's daughter, Elizabeth, was engaged to Emerson's youngest brother Charles. But Charles died of tuberculosis before they could marry. Elizabeth chose never to marry. She did, however, become an intimate friend of the Emerson, Hawthorne and Thoreau families. And she helped Emerson to produce The Dial.
One of Samuel Hoar's sons, Edward, was and intimate friend of Henry David Thoreau. Edward and his wife lived across the street from Thoreau's family for years. And it was Edward and Thoreau who accidentally set fire to three hundred acres of forest along the Sudbury River in 1844 when they let a cooking fire get out of hand. Edward also went with Thoreau on some of Thoreau's hiking and canoeing trips.
So interesting the things that don't get mentioned, eh? But I suppose in an obituary one would not mention some of these things and Emerson is such a formal person, I doubt that he would mention them in a eulogy-type piece either. It's a pity because I bet there are lots of good stories to tell.

Henry Wilder Miller
One of the great merchants of old Worcester died May 31, 1891, at the age of ninety years. He came to Worcester from his native town, Westminster, in 1804, with his parents, John and Lucy (Goulding) Miller, and he saw the village of 1500 grow to a city of 85,000. He remembers the opening of Thomas street, when Isaiah Thomas, who gave the land, had a tub of punch upon the old canal bridge for the public. He began life as a clerk in the hardware store of Sewall Hamilton in a building owned by the first Stephen Salisbury, near the present Lincoln Square railroad station, and in 1815 went to work for Daniel Waldo on the spot where he continued as clerk and merchant for 70 years. He was first in partnership with George T. Rice. In 1832 the firm of Rice & Miller was dissolved, and Mr. Miller continued the hardware store in a new building on the old site. In 1886 he sold out to Smith & Adams, both of whom had been clerks in the store. Elwood Adams has continued the business at the old stand to the present day, and Mr. Miller's old sign still hangs over the door of the store. This hardware store has been in the same location for more than a century. In, 1825 Mr. Miller assisted William A. Wheeler in establishing his foundry on Thomas street. Here was built the first furnace for making cupola castings in the state, outside of Boston, and here the first stoves were cast and the first steam engine in Worcester installed. Mr. Miller was selectman, chief engineer of the fire department, one of the founders and vice-president of the Worcester County Institution of Savings; member of the building committee of Mechanics Hall, in which his portrait now hangs. His wife, Nancy Cutler Merrick, was a daughter of Judge Pliny Merrick and their daiighter, Ruth A. Miller, became the wife of Hon. George P. Hoar; another daughter married Hon. W. W. Rice. Mr. Miller married, second, Mary Andrews, who died in 1886, aged 89 years.

In Worcester, May 31st, Henry Wilder Miller, Worcester's oldest merchant, aged 90 years, 8 mos. 22 days. For nearly four score years and ten, Mr. Miller has been identified with this City. His kindly voice was familiar to every man in Worcester, and no one has set a better example of business integrity than he. He was born in Westminster, Sept. 9th, 1800, and was the son of John and Lucy (Goulding) Miller. Both his father's and his mothers families were among the first settlers of Worcester County. In 1815, he entered, as apprentice, the hardware store of Daniel Waldo, which stood exactly on the spot where Mr. Miller has ever since been located as successor to the business. On attaining his majority, Mr. Miller entered into business for himself, and continued therein till 1886. Though never conspicuous in politics, and never seeking office, his qualifications for positions of trust and responsibility were frequently recognized. He was one of the members of the Worcester County Institution for Savings, from its organization in 1828; one of its board of trustees from April, 1831, and Vice-President and icmber of the Committee of Investments for more than 40 rears.
