863	Was one of the most prominent early citizens of Springfield, Massachusetts, being closely associated with Deacon Samuel Chapin (the "Puritan"). His oldest child and daughter Bethia married Deacon Chapin's son Henry. Benjamin, who lived in what is now called Longmeadow, married Sarah. and by her had three daughters and five sons. His wife died six days after his death. A good part of the American Cooleys are descended from four of his sons: Obediah, Eliakim, Daniel, and Joseph. He died at age 67. Six days later his wife Sarah died. They had fivesons and three daughters, all brought to maturity. In those days, the infant mortality was terrific, so Sarah Cooley was an unusual type of mother, to have carried her entire brood safely through the dangerous period. As were all their contemporaries, Benjamin Cooley and his wife were interred in the ancient "Burying Place" by the riverside in Springfield, west of the church that he had helped to build. No stones marked their graves for no lasting stone was then to be had in the community. There Benjamin and Sarah rested until the coming of the railroad. In 1849, to make room for the tracks, the remains of 2404 bodies and 517 markerswere removed to the Springfield Cemetery on the hill that had been opened in 1841. (Source: THE DESCENDANTS OF DR.

(See Hist. of Springfield, by M.A. Green, pp. 78,77,96,97, 102, 110, 125, 197, 130, 132, 154, 172, and Savage's Genealogical Dictionary Vol. 1, p. 453).

870	Weston Herriman was the brother of Dr. Elbridge Herriman (my Great Gandfaher). In 1860, they went into practice together in Orono, Canada. At the outbreak of the Civil War in the U.S. they went to Washington D.C. and worked with the Union Army at the Hospital (in charge of a ward in Lincoln Hospital). Returning from the army, he entered practice again at Orono until 1870. Then to Port Hope. Settled in Lindsay in 1881. In the Lindsay Post dated Friday, October 16, 1908 in the obituaries: Weston Leroy Herriman was born in the township of Haldimand, near Coburn, on Dec. 31, 1831. After pursuing his studied at the public schools and at the normal school he taught for a short time. He took a course in medicine at Toronto, but did not graduate in that city owing to the religious test inserted at that time by the Church of England. With seven others he appealed to Queen's University at Kingston to establish a medical college at which degrees might be obtained regardless of one's religious belief. This appeal was successful, and the young men founded the first graduating class in 1855, the deceased being prize man in his class. For some years Dr. Herriman was the only surviving member of this claass and such he attended Queen's University Jubilee three years ago, taking a prominent part in the function and being signally honored by both students and faculty. About 1860 he commenced practice in Orono with his brother, Dr. E. A. Herriman, and at the outbreak of the American war he went to Washington and took up hospital work in connection with the Union army and was in charge of a ward in Lincoln Hospital, which gave him a large surgical experience which afterwards proved of great value to him. Retiring from the army he again entered into practice at Orono where he remained until 1870, when he removed to Port Hope. Here the deceased established a very successful practice, and was universally respected by the citizens generally. He took a prominent interest in municipal affairs and was for several terms a member of the town council. Owing to business interests he gave up practice in Port Hope and finally settled in Lindsay in 1881. His practice in this town and throughout the district grew very rapidly and he was recognized as a doctor of exceptional ability, being frequently called to outside centres on consultation. Dr. Herriman was a man of probity and honor and wore the white flower of a spotless life. He was besides a cultured gentleman and acknowledged authority in science and literature. A few years ago when the government offered a prize for competition in examination in scientific agriculture he entered the field as a candidate and to the surprise of many of the citizens who were unacquainted with the knowledge he possessed, took first place in the competition against the entire province. As a citizen of Lindsay, D. Herriman was public spirited and a deeply religious man, and his many deeds of charity performed without display characterizes the deceased as being a perfect type of Christian manhood. As a public citizen, Dr. Herriman was for a time member of the town council and was instrmental in establishing a branch of the Children's Aid Society in Lindsay, beingits first president. He was besides president of the Canadian Society of Charities and Correction. Dr. Herriman was a man of strong convictions and devoted a great deal of energy to the cause of temperance. In politics he was a Liberal and during his life was frequently heard on the political platform. On two occasions he was requested to enter political life, but declined for personal reasons. The funeral this morning was attended by a large number of Lindsay's leading citizens who had learned to love and honor the deceased for his many noble qualities of hand and heart. The pallbearers were Messrs. Dr. Vrosman, Wm. Flavelle, R.S. Porter, W.M. Robson, R. Ross and J. Nerlands. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.P. Wilson of Cambridge-St. church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Welch of the Baptist church. THE WATCHMAN WARDER article about him, dated October 15, 1908: In the death of the late Dr. Herriman, which occurred yesterday, Lindsay loses a man, who, during the past twenty years, has taken a deep interest in the town's moral, religious and civic welfare, having been prominent in every movement that was calulated for the betterment of the town. In municipal affairs he was an interested participant, and he occupied a seat in the council board for a considerable period. Coming from Port Hope some twenty years ago he has left an indelible mark upon the annals of Lindsay history, and his removal from among us is deeply regretted by all classes of our citizens. The funeral will take place on Monday at 10:15 and will proceed to the Grand Trunk depot for Port Hope, in which town interment will take place. Besides a loving wife, one son, Dr. William Choate Herriman, of the Mimico staff and one daughter, Mrs. M. Stevens of town, are living. The deceased was very much affected by the sad death of a son, the late H.R. Herriman, who passed away in Manitoulin Island last fall.

874	When the family went to Cobourg, they set out for a trip to the beach, Diadamia vanished, and it was learned that she was stolen by the Missauga Indians June 8, 1797. She was about five years old. Her mother Bethania wrote this poem: "Tis in my mind to write a line To you, my parents dear, To let you know my grief and woe, My Journal you shall hear. "At my first stand on British land, Just four weeks to a day Before I knew the errant crew, They stole my child away. "Though yet unknown, which way she's gone We thought the woods she strayed The neighbours lent their friendly aid, Great search for her was made. "The settlers turned out volunteers, They searched the woods all round, But nothing of her could we hear, She was not to be found. "Some searched the woods by listening ear, Thinking to hear her cry, Some searched the lake with shining light, I saw them sailing by. "Some said, your child has starved to death, Some said the lake was drowned, Some said the wolves have taken her, Therefore she can't be found. "You that are parents of sweet babes, Come sympathize with me, Let infants stray from mother's arms, See what their cares will be. "My usual sleep forsook my eyes, And I forgot to eat, The woods were witness to my cries, This prayer I did repeat. "I did beseech Almighty God, In that distressing hour, That he would furnish me with grace While he displayed his power.	Harriman, Diadamia (I1429)
