  • Notes 
    • Frank Luther, third son of Daniel B. and Cynthia AI. (Hawes) Wesson, was killed in a railroad accident at Hartford, Vermont, February 5, 1887. He received his early education in the public schools, and was a fellow student with his brother, Walter H., at Williston. After his marriage he was for about three years a partner in the firm of Lovell, Adam & Wesson, printers and publishers, of New York and Montreal, with a printing plant at Rouse’s Point, New York, where Mr. Wesson was employed. About 1877 he returned to Springfield, and for the remainder of his life was assistant superintendent of the Smith & Wesson revolver factory. Like the other men of his family he devoted his time to his business, taking no part in politics, except to vote, and belonging to no societies.
      He married Sarah Kurczine Lovell, of Montreal, Canada, daughter of John Lovell. of Montreal. Mr. Lovell was publisher of the Canadian Gazeteer, Lovell’s Geography, and other school books. The children of this marriage are: 1. Mabel, was born in New York; married John Murray, an English subject, now an instructor in English literature in Harvard University. 2. Harold, mentioned below. 3. Frank Herbert, see below. 4. Cynthia, Maria, a student at Brvn Mawr, class of 1909.
