Temperance Anecdote From Gov Brises of Massachusetts
An Albany audience heard a temperance anecdote about a Pennsylvania borough deciding liquor licenses. An old woman described how her husband and five sons, all alcohol victims, lie in one graveyard, blaming clergy, doctors, and deacons for enabling temperate drink. The president then asked if licenses should be petitioned, and the room fell silent awaiting the vote.

The article outlines Benjamin Thomeson known as Count Rumford, born in Waldo Massachusetts, rising to Major, fleeing to Britain, serving in Bavarian and Bavarian court service, becoming a key minister, reforming the Bavarian army and economy, marrying Lavoisier’s widow in Paris, and ending as a celebrated scientific patron whose wealth supported American friends before dying in 1818.
