LAID AT REST
Funderal Services of
Late Moses L. Colby
Held at the Historic Macy-Colby House
Very Largely Attended - Delegation From Organizations
The funeral of Moses L. Colby took place as it was fitting it should from the Macy-Colby house. His remains followed by a long train of mourners were borne from this ancient home of his fathers to their last resting place on the green hillside near the gravers of his ancestors.
It was the funeral of one in whom many were interested and the attendance at the obsequies was large.
Besides the many relatives and friends to whom Mr. Colby was well known and beloved, there was a large number of citizens and some strangers. Representatives also of the Bartlett Cemetery Association, Josiah Bartlett Chapter of D.R. , Town Improvement Society had the two remaining '49ers in town, A.M. Huntington and Ephraim Brown, also F.F. Morrill of Newburyport.
The services were conducted by Rev., D. W. Davis who discoursed at some length. In closing he spoke tenderly of the deceased bringing out some of the traits of his character. He emphasized feelingly the moral life, the gentle manner, the quiet reticent ways, the noble patriotism and magnanimous spirit of Mr. Colby in presenting the town with the invaluable gifts of his ancient ancestral home the its spacious grounds so finely graded and adorned. Mr. Colby's religious belief it was not easy to define for he was a man of few words on these things and of an exceedingly taciturn disposition. His brother Luther was a leading spiritualist but one who knew them both well and at whose home they were frequent guests remarked that in the discussion of such matters Moses never showed by word or act that he had any sympathy with spiritualism.
A quartette consisting of C.S. Wingate, Dr. E.L. Noyes, Mrs. Sadie Taylor and Miss Mildred Daniels sang two selections, "Lead Kindly Light" and "Still, Still With Thee". And closed the service by chanting the Lord's Prayer.
The floral tributes to the memory of the deceased were many and very beautiful. There were wreathes set pieces and bouquets by the family, the immediate friends and others. Hose Four contributed a basket of choice flowers, the Bartlett Cemetery Association a large set piece and Josiah Bartlett Chapter of D.R. a wreath of rare flowers.
The bearers were Horace S. Worthen, G.W. Osgood, George S. Bartlett and Willis McFarland.
When the body was placed in the hearse it was followed to the grave in the Bartlett Cemetery in the rear of the old home by a large procession of mourners formed of relatives, friends, citizens and others. At the grave Mr. Davis read few appropriate selections from Scripture and offered prayer.
==========================
MOSES L. COLBY
Death of a Well Known Resident
Was a '49er and a Veteran Fireman
Generous Gift of the Historic Macy-Colby House
On Tuesday Moses L. Colby, a well known resident of the town passed away at his home in Kendrick's Court. He was the son of Capt. Wm. And Mary Long Colby and was born in 1821. His father was twice married. The children by the second wife were Joseph, Obadiah, Moses, Elizabeth and Luther, who was the editor of the "Banner of Light" for many years.
The first Colby came to this country in Governor Winthrop's company in 1636 and Moses was of the seventh generation from Anthony, the first Colby settler of Amesbury. He went to Boston when a young man and learned the trade of a boot maker and followed that trade for some years. He belonged to one of the Boston Fire Companies, the equipment of which he loved to preserve to his last years.
Moses was one of those who went to California in '49 and resided there for 18 years, keeping store part of the time.
He was a member of one of the '49 Clubs of Boston. In his return from California he boarded with his nephews who kept house for their father Obadiah in the old Macy house. This house has been in the possession of this family for ten generations, since 1654 when they purchased it from Thomas Macy the first town clerk who erected it. After the death of Obadiah, Moses became legal heir to the Macy house be purchasing the property rights of others.
Since his nephew Wm. Moved from the Macy house to Allen's Corner Moses had boarded with his nephew Edward who resides in Kendrick's Court. At this home he had for himself rooms which he kept in orderly arrangement relics of other years which he treasured so highly.
He ever had a strong desire to see the Macy house preserved as an object of historic interest by the town and in this he was fully sustained by the members of Josiah Bartlett Chapter D.R.
The Bartlett Cemetery Association having purchased from Mr. Colby the land in the rear of the house, it was placed in their hands and would be kept in an excellent stare of preservation. The Cemetery Association would thus secure by his gift to them what they had desired, an entrance to their grounds. For this reason, he gave a deed of the house to the Association stipulating that it should be kept in excellent order.
It had been a great labor of love to Mr. Colby this summer in putting the grounds in to proper shape and adorning them.
Mr. Colby was a great lover of his country, a true patriot. Last Saturday only he remarked to a friend who visited him that it caused him keen regret in not seeing the old flag float from the Macy house on the Fourth of July, the first time in all his life he had ever missed it there on that day. He was a man that was neat and orderly in all his habits and ways of life. He was upright and square in all his dealings with his fellows and was gently and retiring in disposition. His familiar form will be greatly missed by all his friends at the Ferry and elsewhere; but he will not be forgotten for he has left us an enduring memorial of his kindness and generosity.
The death of Moses Colby removes from our midst a highly respected and most public spirited citizen. His generous gift to Josiah Bartlett Chapter Daughters of the Revolution of the historic Colby-Macy house will ever endear his name to the people of this town. This ancient house which has so many interesting historic facts connected with its history will always be highly prized. Mr. Colby did not wait until after he had departed this life before he did good with his money, his liberal contributions in fixing up the historic house and grounds were fully appreciated and he lived to see the generous use of his funds benefit those around him. Would that other men of means might emulate his example and by a liberal use of their wealth give the public something from which they can receive benefit.

I am trying to trace a COLBY who was a Fire Chief in America somewhere
around 1900-1930
There is no further details other than he was EITHER one of two brothers who
came to America around 1880-1890 or so from KILKENNY, IRELAND, OR (more
likely) the Fire Chief was the son of one of those brothers.
I know this is a shot in the dark, the information was passed to me by a
JOSEPH Colby here in England (a relative of my wife Mary Colby) who was
contacted by some Americans a few years ago, but he has lost details but is
clear on the Fire Chief issue.
National Fire Protection Association Quincy Mass 02169 is proving useful
with the research, but would like more information on name/dates to find
actual details.
I appreciate any leads or ideas, thanks.

Subject: Re: [COLBY] Tracing a Fire Chief Colby
Further researching throws up some serious info on the Colby Fire Chief who
I think is HARRY COLBY
http://www.franklinnh.org/fdhistory.htm
" The Christian Church on South Main Street was discovered on fire on March
24, 1917. Nothing was left standing except a big chimney and a small
portion of the north wall.
Ray Benson of Benson Auto Company was awakened when light reflected into his
bedroom window. At 3:10 am, he pulled in Box 16. The Department was
quickly on the scene and Chief Colby sent in a second alarm calling out the
Steamer Company, but the fire had made such headway it was impossible to
enter the church building. The belfry withstood the fire for an unusually
long time before it toppled over, landing spire down on the ground. "
More interesting I also read
" Department was to see its first full time Fire Chief in 1933. Edgar
Wheeler, a long time fireman had been appointed driver in 1929. He replaced
Call Chief Harry Colby, who had served since 1908. Chief Colby had entered
Engine Company No. 1 in 1883 and served a total of 49 years.

Geographer Charles Colby
Dies After Heart Attack
Charles C. Colby, 81, geographer and director of Mississippi Valley Investigations at Southern Illinois University, died Friday in La Crosse, Wis., of an apparent heart attack.
SIU President Delyte W. Morris Called Mr. Colby, the "dean of American geographers."
"It was his wealth of knowledge couple with vision and enthusiasm that enabled him to contribute so effectively to the Mississippi Valley Investigations the project he had directed in recent years and in which he was engaged at La Crosse at the time of his death," Morris said.
Mr. Colby was one of the first visiting emeritus professors to come to SIU when he joined the geography department staff in 1951.
Mr. Colby's studies of the area resulted in a book, "A Pilot Study of Southern Illinois," published at SIU in 1956.
He just completed another book entitled, "The Atlantic Arena," which will be published by the SIU Press this fall.
Before coming to SIU, Mr. Colby served as the chairman of the geography department at the University of Chicago for more than 30 years.
He was a specialist in the Division of Planning and Statistics, U.S. Shipping Board, 1918-19; advisor of War Shipping Administration, 1942; and a member of the division of Geology and Geography, National Research Council 1924-27 and 1940-43.
Mr. Colby served as a land planning consultant for the Tennessee Valley Authority from 1934 to 1938. From 1938 to 1942 he was a member of the Land Commission, Natural Resources Planning Board.
In 1939 he served as chairman of the sub-committee on Land Classification and in 1939, as a member of the sub-committee on Regional Approach to Employment Stabilization.
Mr. Colby was a consultant to headquarters for a commission delegated to select the site for the United Nations building in 1946.
A graduated of Michigan State Normal College in 1908, he received an honorary master of education degree from that college in 1922.
He received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Chicago in 1909 and doctor of philosophy degree in 1917.
In 1956, SIU awarded Mr. Colby an honorary doctor of science degree.
He was born in Romeo, Mich., April 13, 1884, the son of Frank and Anna Colby.
Mr. Colby who lived at 313 S. University Ave., leaves his wife Mary, and two sons, Stephen and Bruce.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Monday in the Chapel of Hope in the Tower of Memories, Oakwoods Cemetery, 1035 E. 67th St., Chicago

I recommend checking with the local Historical Society. Some keep a
collection of Colby memorabilia where the roots run deep. There were 26
different Amos Colby's. If you could identify which particular Amos that you
have the photo of through these resources, they may be able to connect you
with the closest living relative, to be able to return the photo to its
rightful place.
Good Luck

RONALD COLBY
Ronald L. Colby, 69, of Lunenburg, died on Sunday, February 4, 2007 at Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster.
He was born in East Concord, Vt., on October 22, 1937, the son of Elwin and Verl (Fisher) Colby. Ronald was raised in East Concord, moving to Lunenburg after his marriage to Florence F. Roy on September 5, 1959.
For 45 years he worked in various paper mills, including Gilman Paper, Diamond International, James River and Wausau, retiring from Wausau in 1998. His hobbies included horseshoes and bingo, and he was an avid Red Sox and Celtics fan. His greatest enjoyment was family activities, especially time spent with his grandchildren.
The family includes his wife of 47 years, Florence of Lunenburg; three daughters, Melody Barney and her husband Jeff of Groveton, Marie Forbes and her husband Scott of Lancaster, Wendy Quimby and her husband Michael of Concord, Vt.; a son, Stephen Colby and his wife Kelley of Lunenburg; his eight grandchildren; two brothers, Donald Colby and his wife Marilyn of Wilder, Vt., and Robert Colby and his wife Cindy of Lancaster; sisters- and brothers-in-law Yvonne Henderson, George Roy, Norman Roy, Albert Roy, and Clayton and Robin Roy, all of Lunenburg, Irene Chase of Littleton, Verna Belle and Bobby Ingerson of Lisbon, Janette and Romaine Thompson of Mechanicsville, Va., Arlene and Brion Baird of Tucson, Ariz., and Ernest Roy of Bloomfield; and many aunts, nieces and nephews.
Memorial calling hours will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, February 8 at the Bailey Funeral Home in Lancaster. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Friday at St. Leo?s Church in Lunenburg. Reverend Richard O'Donnell of St. Johnsbury will officiate.
