'I , l are indebted for our new library building, was born in 1833, in the small town of Watervliet, in New York State, about eight miles from Albany. His father, Josiah Stanford, was a prosperous farmer, originally from New England, but who settled when a young man in the Mohawk Valley. Here were born and brought up the six Stanford brothers, of whom Thomas Welton is the youngest. The boys worked on the farm in summer and attended school in winter, and as they outgrew the public schools of the neighborhood, were sent to higher- grade colleges, thus Leland went to Clinton and Thomas Welton to Pulteney College, Vermont. The California gold excitement was at its height when he graduated from college, three of his brothers had caught it and were already on the Pacific Coast, and the young man concluded to follow their example and try his fortune in the gold mines. His brother Leland, at this time, was engaged in what was known as general merchandise business, i. e., the supplying to mining camps of equip- ments, outfits and the necessaries of life. His principal store was at Michigan Bluffs, in Placer County. To Michigan Bluffs, therefore, Thomas Welton journeyed, and shortly after his arrival started in business on his own account. His business prospered, but his health broke down and he soon found it necessary to seek a change of climate. He tried the Sandwich Islands first, but, not finding there the relief he hoped for, he took ship for Australia. The voyage was a stormy one, and Mr. Stanford suffered to an unusual degree from sea- sickness, in fact,' the trip almost cost him his life. On arrival at Melbourne he had to be carried ashore in a precarious condition. He has never left the mainland of Australia since. Upon the recovery of his health Mr. Stanford started in business in Mel- bourne, his first venture being as agent for American sewing machine companies. In this he was so successful that he branched oh' for himself in the hardware business, having for partner the late C. H. Livingstone of San Francisco. 7
