Mrs. Miriam Straw Emerson Fogg, widow of the late Sherburne Fogg, of West Hopkinton, and daughter of John Jones and Elizabeth (Straw) Emerson, was born on the farm where she now lives, November 20, 1821. She is a descendant of a prominent pioneer family of Hopkinton, her great-grandfather, Timothy Emerson, having been the original settler on Clement's Hill. Timothy Emerson was very active in local affairs, doing much to advance the interests of the little town, among other things donating the land for the cemetery in which his body was laid to rest after his death, March 22, 1826, at the venerable age of eighty-six years. He was twice married. His first wife, who was without doubt an Ober, bore him two daughters and one son. The latter was John Ober Emerson, Mrs. Fogg's grandfather. His children by his second wife Mary, were: Collins, Day, Benjamin, and Rachel. Day died November 1, 1841, at the age of fifty-two years, and was buried in the family lot. The mother, who survived the father, died October 29, 1833, aged eighty-one years.

Miriam Straw Emerson was married to Sherburne Fogg. He was born July 9, 1819, in Meredith (now Laconia), N.H., son of Seth and Betsey Boudon (Gile) Fogg, and grew to man's estate in Gilmanton, whither his parents removed when he was young. He was a carpenter, and from the time of his marriage until 1857 he worked at his trade in Manchester, this State. After residing for a time in Belmont, he came in 1859 to Hopkinton, purchased from his brother-in-law, Seth George Emerson, the Emerson homestead, and was subsequently engaged in agriculture until his death, which occurred June 4, 1873. Mrs. Fogg has since resided on the farm. She has had three children, namely: George Henry, who died at the age of nineteen years; Lizzie Adella; and Frank Emerson Fogg. Lizzie Adella was educated at Tilton Seminary, from which she graduated with the class of 1878. Since that time she has been engaged as a teacher in Hopkinton, making her home with her widowed mother. Frank Emerson Fogg, now an attorney-at-law in Grangeville, Idaho, completed his education at Ann Arbor, Mich., having graduated from the law department of the State University, class of 1880. He was Circuit Court Commissioner of Charlevoix County, Michigan, from 1884 to 1888, and Prosecuting Attorney Charlevoix County from 1888 to 1890. Removing to Idaho, he practised at Rathdrum from 1891 to 1893. Then he went to Grangeville, where he has followed his profession since. He married February 28, 1886, Eliza Ann Scroggie, of Charlevoix, Mich.; and they have four bright and interesting children-Essie V., James Sherburne, Miriam S., and William Frank.
