ROBERT CHARLES WINTHROP. 



The Hon. Robert Charles Winthrop died in Boston on the 

 16th of November, 1894, at the age of eighty-tive years and six 

 months, having been born on the 12th of May, 1809. He was the 

 son of the Hon. Thomas Lindall and Elizabeth (Temple) Winthrop, 

 and a descendant of Governor John Winthrop, founder of the Massa- 

 chusetts Bay Colony. Between this illustrious ancestor and himself 

 were interposed five generations. His father, Thomas Lindall Win- 

 throp, was for many years Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, 

 and also President of the Massachusetts Historical Society ; he was 

 universally esteemed as a man of courtly manners, social disposition, 

 and stainless character, rendering much more valuable service to 

 the community than many men of greater intellectual prominence. 

 Robert C. Winthrop was educated at the Boston Latin School and at 

 Harvard College, graduating with distinction in the class of 1828. 

 The social position of his parents at once introduced him to the most 

 cultivated circles in Boston, and he was conspicuous throughout his 

 life for the strictest devotion to all social duties. He always took 

 keen interest in the militia of the State, as a member and commander 

 of Company A of the First Regiment M. V. M., otherwise the Boston 

 Liglit Lifantry, or '' Tigers," and was afterwards an Aide-de-Camp on 

 the staff of Governor Everett. 



Mr. Winthrop was admitted to the bar, and studied for a time in 

 the office of the Hon. Daniel Webster. But his attention was early 

 attracted to politics. At the period of his entering college the so 

 called " era of good feeling," which had culminated in the almost 

 unopposed re-election of President Motiroe, had come to a violent end
