In religion he was a Congregationalist, and a member of that church. In politics he was an earnest worker in the "Old Line Whig" party, and prominent in town affairs. Maj.

Mr. BENJAMIN was a constant and regular attendant at the Congregational church, began in politics with the Whig party, joined the ranks of the Republican party at its organization, and was in every respect an honest, upright, and respected citizen. He represented Berlin in the state legislature and held other offices of responsibility and trust in his town. He died October 4, 1884. His wife died in December, 1873. Chauncey E. BENJAMIN, born February 1, 1829, married Lucy J. STANWOOD, January 22, 1846, and resides in Malden, Mass., where he is engaged in the express business, and employs sixteen men and twenty six horses.
