REDLONS OF BUXTON, MAINE.
Pekin, Ill. No children. He has had a most singular, adventitious, and
wandering life; full of vicissitudes and discouragements. His mother
died when he was a small boy, and he was left to drift about from place
to place. In 1845 he went to Portland to learn the art of printing;
thence, after a few months, to Dedham, Mass., and worked in a woolen
mill; thence to Boston, and worked in a printing office. He continued
to go from city to city, losing his situation and seeking employment, con-
stantly attended by misfortune, until he had traversed New England. He
was employed on the Providence Transcript when his uncle Amos was
editor; also for Brown, Thurston & Co., in Portland. During his indispo-
sition he spent his winters with relatives. In 1859 he commenced work
on the Register at Pekin, Ill., and by hard work and strict economy has
managed to get a little home. In a communication to the author, written
in 1875, he says: "My mother was subject to fits of insanity when I was a
child, and at one time attempted to throw me into the fire, but was pre-
vented by some one in the house. I have wished a thousand times she
had accomplished her purpose, which, in her insensibility, she would have
done; for my life, so far, has been one of trouble and disappointment, and
I have accomplished nothing worthy of our name."
