History of Westchester County, New York — Passage 291 (part 2)
[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] Eugene, who was a merchant for inany years in Croton, served a long turn as harbor-master of New York City, and then retired to his farm on the Hud-son, where he erected extensive green-houses, that he might indulge his taste for the culture of flowers and horticultural pursuits. He married Mrs. Harriet Carrigan. Milton, a graduate of Yale, a licentiate in law, for many years occupying a position in the United States Internal Revenue Service, superintendent of schools in Westchester County, N. \\, and faithful to every trust. He married Julia Montgomery Wells, daughter of Albert Wells (the honored principal of Peekskill Military Academy for more than thirty years), a woman richly endowed with accomplishments of heart and mind. They have a family of four children. The daughters of John W. Frost were Harriet, Ann and Armenia, of whom the first only is living, ami of them it is praise enough to say, that they have proved worthy scions of a worthy ancestry. Seldom does it fall to the happy lot of parents to see every member of their large family pursuing lives that reflect lustre upon the family name. Seldom do children enjoy the blessing, in so eminent a degree, of a parentage so worthy of imitation, so much an honor and a moral support to them in life. Not far from the railroad station of Croton is the manufactory of brick machinery of W. F. Tallcot & Co., established in 187!), and employing an average of five hands.
