• Notes

  from "History of Bristol County Massachusetts" by D Hamilton Hurd, 1883 Alden Hathaway, Jr., was born April 6, 1811. He received a common school education, and upon arriving at proper age he employed his time during several winters in teaching school, and in farming and trading during the summer months. He has been through life a trader and speculator and a successful business man. He is one of the few honorable and worthy representatives of one of the most ancient, useful, and respectable families of the town. Among various positions of office and trust he has i been chairman of the board of selectmen and overseer of the poor, and was member of the board eight years. He was representative to the State Legislature two years (1838-39). He was reared in the Democratic school of politics, voted that ticket many years, and was elected to the Legislature on the Democratic platform, but he now affiliates with the Republican party. He resides on the homestead of his father in Assonet village, and is passing down the hill of life with the pleasing consciousness that the acts of his long business career will bear the closest scrutiny, and that there is nothing in his past record that does not sustain the honor of the family name. He married Susan Hathaway, daughter of Edmund and Betsey Hathaway, and sister of Guilford H. Hathaway. (See his biography.) To this union there are three living children, one son and two daughters. The son went to California when eighteen years of age, married there, has three children, and is a successful business man. Mrs. Hathaway died Aug. 23, 1882. from the "The Boston Journal", 13 Jul 1886 (genealogybank.com) Mr. Alden Hatheway of Assonet, Mass., who died a few days ago, had been active in town affairs and had held several town offices. He was a Representative in the Legislature in 1838 and 1839, and previous to 1875 he served five or six years as an Inspector in the Boston Custom House. He had been a member of the Christian Church of Assonet since 1832. from "The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette", 15 Jul 1886 The body of Alden Hatheway of Freetown, N.H. who was reported to have died on the 7th inst., and whose funeral services were held on the 10th, is stated to have been warm and flushed on Sunday, and the interment of the remains has been postponed until dissolution is unmistakable.
