Arthur Grimes Stanwood.

TRUSTEE.

Son of Daniel Caldwell Stanwood and Mary Augusta Webster; born at Augusta, Me., October 5, 1849, the sixth in a family of eleven children, seven of whom survive him. He united with the South Church, Augusta, in 1865. He was educated at the Augusta high school, and was fitting for college when the death of his father put an end to his hopes in that direction.

About 1865 he left home and entered the office of his uncle, H. G. K. Calef, in New York, N. Y. Shortly afterward he became a clerk in the house of Spelman and Son. In 1871 he removed to Boston, at once entering the office of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, where he remained until his death, holding the office of assistant treasurer after 1890. Among his other business interests he was vice-president and treasurer of the St. Mary's Mineral Land Company, president of the Winona Copper Company, and president of the Mathews Slate Company. He was also an officer or director in several other copper companies.

Soon after coming to Boston he became identified with the Central Church, of which he was always a strong supporter. He became a member of the board of directors and of the executive committee of the City Missionary Society in 1886, and in 1904 became vice-president of the society. Since 1884 he voluntarily gave his services as treasurer of the Massachusetts Board of Ministerial Aid. After 1899 he was a member of the board of directors of the Boston Young Men's Christian Association. On June II, 1907, he was elected a trustee of this Seminary.

He married, December 1, 1875, in Boston, Mass., Annie Louise Russell, daughter of Thomas Hastings Russell, formerly a trustee of the Seminary, and Maria Louise Wiswell, of Boston. She survives him with two sons, the older, Philip Caldwell Stanwood, a graduate of Harvard College, 1903, and the Harvard Law School, 1906, now a lawyer in Boston; the younger, Richard Russell Stanwood, a graduate of Harvard, 1906, now studying architecture in the Harvard Graduate School. Two sons and two daughters died in infancy.

Mr. Stanwood died in Boston, Mass., of empyema, December 30, 1907, aged fifty-eight years, two months, and twenty-five days.
