In February, 1858, he was appointed a tutor in Harvard College. 

 This position he occupied until July, 1863, having been first a 

 tutor in Greek and Latin, then in Greek, and finally in Mathe- 

 matics. During the last year of his tutorship he attended the 

 Harvard Law School, and received the degree of LL.B. in 1864. 



Jan. 26, 1864, he entered the law office of Stephen B. Ives, Jr., 

 in Salem, Mass. He was admitted to the bar Oct. 20, 1864, and 

 remained in Mr. Ives's office until July, 1865, when he was re- 

 ceived by that gentleman as his partner. 



The firm of Ives and Lincoln was engaged in business in Salem 

 until Jan. 1, 1867. At that time they opened an office in Boston 

 and continued practice in both places until Feb. 1, 1882, when the 

 firm was dissolved. Mr. George L. Huntress was a partner dur- 

 ing the last four years, the firm name being Ives, Lincoln, and 

 Huntress. 



Until 1881 Mr. Lincoln's residence was in Salem. Since that 

 time he has been a resident of Boston. While in Salem he was 

 a member of the School Committee. 



Mr. Lincoln was aide-de-camp to Governor Talbot, with the 

 rank of colonel, in 1874, and aid and chief of staff to the same in 

 1879. He was an overseer of Harvard College from 1882 to 1889 ; 

 re-elected in 1890, and since 1890 president of the board. 



In 1879 he was appointed by Governor Talbot a commissioner 

 to represent Massachusetts at a meeting of the governors of the 

 original thirteen States, at Yorktown, Va. In 1881 he attended 

 the Centennial Celebration at Yorktown, Va., as commissioner, in 

 the suite of Governor Long, who was also one of his college class- 

 mates. 



He delivered an address at the celebration of the 250th anni- 

 versary of the settlement of Hingham, Sept. 15, 1885. 



He is a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, the 

 American Antiquarian Society, and a trustee of Derby Academy. 



Henry M. Lisle [III. 22] studied law in the office of Shearjashub 

 Bourne, in Hingham, and remained here after Mr. Bourne removed 

 to Boston, practising law for five or six years, and then removed 

 to Milton, and finally to Boston. But little is known of him, and 

 there is a tradition that he went to the West Indies. He delivered 

 an oration before the inhabitants of Hingham on the death of 

 Washington, Feb. 22, 1800. His office was at first in Mr. Bourne's 

 old office, on the northeast side of Broad Bridge, and afterwards in 

 Loring's building, on the opposite side. 



John D. Long [III. 25], the son of Zadoc and Julia Temple 

 (Davis) Long, was born in Buckfield, Me., Oct. 27, 1838. His 

 early education was in the common schools of his native town, 

 and at Hebron (Maine) Academy, where he fitted for college. 



He was graduated at Harvard College in 1857, with high rank, 

 in a class containing more than the usual number of good scholars. 

 After graduating he was principal of the Westford (Mass.) Acad- 

 emy for two years. He has since been a trustee of that academy, 

 and president of the board of trustees.
