Excerpt from A Personal Tribute to Governor Frederic T. Greenhalge So much has already been said about the career of Frederic T. Greenhalge it is not necessary for me to go into detail regarding his ancestry and early life. The fact that he came to this country from old England at the age of twelve years, that from humble beginnings and amid adverse circumstances, he rose to be the governor of Massachusetts, makes the story of his life one of exceptional interest and at times really dramatic in its incidents. His father was at one time in prosperous circumstances, he was well read in the literature of his time and was on intimate terms with the leading men of Edenfield, England, and was an artist of no mean ability. Failing in business, he accepted, in the year 1855, an offer from the Merrimac Printing Company, at Lowell, Mass, and took the management of their works at an annual salary of four hundred pounds.
